At Turin. the execution of General Ramorino had cre.
ated considerable sensation. The manner in which be
met his fate is thus described in a letter of the 22d ult :
General Ramorino was executed in the Champ de Mars.
The General preserved his sangfroid to the last moment,
and died like a real soldier. He walked to the ground
dressed in his full uniform, surrounded by a strong body
of troops, who with difficulty kept back the immense
crowd the spectacle had collected. Ramorino exclaimed
in a loud voice, " I protest against my sentence, and de-
clare, in the presence of God, that I die innocent." He
then gave the order to fire. Yesterday the lawyers,
Brofferio, Saracco, and Iraschini, presented themselves at
the Royal Palace to intercede in favour of the General;
but his Majesty was too much affected to receive them.
THE PAPAL STATES.—The Monitore Romana, of the
24th ult., announces that Captain Dubrowolski, of the
general staff, is commissioned to organize and command
the foreign legion now forming. Two hundred Tuscans
had arrived at Rome to serve under the Republic; many
Piedmontese tirailleurs have deserted, with arms and
baggage, for the same purpose. French subjects were
daily dropping in with the same view. The French troops
were peacefully encamped in the vicinity of Rome, and
did not intercept the communications.
Letters from Florence of the 25th ult. announce the
arrival there of the Austrian troops on that day ; 20,000
were expected, but only 6,000 would stay; the rest were
to march towards the Roman states. A rumour was
current that the British Ambassador had applied to the
Extraordinary Commissioner, that Guerrazzi might be
delivered up to him. Another rumour stated that a
French corps had landed at Porto San Stezano.
It appears that although the Austrian intervention is
made in the name of the Pope, his holiness is so little
respected by the Austrian soldiers, that in every house
in Bologna which they entered, and where they found a
bust of the Pope, they amused themselves by decapitating
it with their sabres. Thus whilst Pius the Ninth is
rejected by the Romans as a tyrant, he is hated by the
Austrians as having been the first cause of the liberal
movement.

The case of cannibalism on the coast of Connemara has
been investigated by the Government authorities. It
turns out to be true as a fact, but the farm servant who

been in full employment.
The Union Workhouses in the South are sending out
to Australia large numbers of female emigrants. One
hundred and ninety young women proceeded by steamer,
last week; from Cork to Plymouth, to take shipping, and
seventy-five more young females were sent from the Skib-
bereen Workhouse as emigrants.
The Duke of Manchester is the proprietor of estates in

The plate and furniture of an Irish county member
were last week seized under execution for debts of a long
standing, and the whole lot transferred to Dublin for the
more ready convenience of speedy sale. On Wednesday
last they were "submitted to public competition," and
exchanged owners at prices extremely agreeable to pur-
chasers, but leaving ample scope for complaint on the
part of creditors.

The province of Pernambuco was tranquil, and business

River Plate affairs remained as per last advice.

CURIOUS STORY----" A member of the Celtic Society,"
in a letter to the Freeman's Journal, states that he saw,
a short time before the death of Mr. O'Connell, in his
library, at Merrion-square, a collection of rare old pro-
clamations, which he alleges must have been stolen, as
they were subsequently sold to a chandler as waste paper.
The " Celt" says that there were 130 proclamations issued
by the Irish Government between 1685 and 1691.
THE DlSTRESS.—Archbishop M'llale has published, in
the Freeman's Journal, a long letter, addressed " to her
M'ijesty Queen Victoria," describing the frightful desti-
tution of the west, and concluding with a request that her
Majesty will be pleased to dismiss from her councils those
unprofitable servants at present in -place and, in their
stead, call thereto " able men, such as fear God, in whom
there is truth, and that hate avarice; who, in their ad-
ministration, will reflect some portion of the beneficence
of the throne."

Letters from Toulon of the 30th ult. state that accounts
had been received from Civita Vecchia, dated the 26th,
mentioning that M. Lesseps had retired to the French
camp, and that hostilities were soon to be resumed. The
return of M. F. Janson from Paris was only waited to
commence the bombardment of Rome. The same letters
state that the last battery of artillery sent from Toulon
had arrived at the French camp. The Norval h.d
