ROME.

The Pope has appolnieJlCOmmissioners, with full
powers to form a ministry, and regulate the government,
until his return. From the vague and vapid tenor of his
proclamations it is easy to see that be is cautious in com-
mitting himself to any promise that will bind him to a li-
beral course of policy. There is too much reason to ap.
prehend that he has been persuaded to govern on princi-
ples, and by instruments, which the bulk of his subjects
reject. It is especially to the exclusive use of ecclesiasti-
cal instruments that they most resolutely object, and it is
precisely these that it is feared he will employ. Mazzini
is addressing exhortations to the various municipalities to
declare that their free choice would be the republican
form, and the abolition of the temporal power of the Pope•
" Let the cry," he says, " be constantly heard ; down
with the government of the priests." With such senti-
ments afloat it will be the grossest infatuation on the
Pope's part to aim at a rigid ecclesiastical supremacy.
Garibaldi is still moving from place to place, but several
of his detachments have been captured
FRENCH OUTRAGE AT ROME.—Mr. Anthony, a mer-
chant at Malta, and well known in Liverpool, was under
a commercial necessity of visiting Rome. On the sth of
June he landed at Civita Vecchia, where the French not
only deprived him of his passport, but made him a priso-
ner. On remonstrating he was carried to the camp before
Rome, and treated with the greatest indignity. The
French troops made prisoners of all the peasants proceed-
ing through the country, and pillaged their luggage, the
French officers with their swords cutting open their bas-
kets, &c. Mr. Anthony lost his baggage. He has ap-
pealed to the British government.
DR. WOLFF AND THE ROMANS.—Dr. Wolff has ad -
dressed a letter to the citizens of Rome, in which occur
the following passages Romans—Many happy days
were passed by me within your walls when I was, in the
years 1816 to 1818, first pupil in the Collegio Romana,
where I had the honour of studying together with Counts
Ferretti, Mamiani, Menochio, and Tosi, and studied eccle-
siastical history under Don Piedro (now Cardinal) Ostini,
who, as you are aware, knew skilfully to shift from the
party of Napoleon to that of Pius 7th—after the latter
was restored to his papal chair in the Vatican. I then
was transferred to the College of the Propaganda, by the
excellent Cardinal Litta, but having argued openly not
only against the infallibility of the Pope, but also against
the right of the church to burn heretics, I was banished
from your interesting city in the year 1818, on the 15th.
of April. Romans ! many things have passed in the
world ; the " Overturning, overturning, overturning,"
in Ezekiel, the 21st chapter, and the 27th verse, has com-
menced ; and it will continue until He shall come, whose
right it is ; and when he shall set up that form of govern-
ment upon earth to which all nations shall willingly sub-
mit and rejoice. Until that time neither Louis Napoleon
in France, nor the Constituent Assembly in Italy, shall
better the condition of the world. * * * * Peter,
whose successor the Roman Pontiff affects to be, drew
the sword and struck a servant of the High Priest's, and
smote off his ear • and though the sword was here drawn
to save the life Of the Lord from Heaven himself, the
Lord said to him, " Put up again thy sword into its
place." But what did Pius the 9th ? he leaves his children
at Rome like a coward, escapes to Gaeta, and from thence
he exhorts his children in France to unsheath the sword
against his children in Rome ; not for the purpose of
saving either Christ or his church, but for retaking a
paltry temporal dominion, which his predecessors in dark
ages have grasped, and which he blasphemously calls the
patrimony of Peter ' • and after General Oudinot regained
it for him, he sends his congratulations. Romans
therefore proclaim loudly that you are now convinced that
Popery is, and has ever been a lie, that it can never be
reformed, but must be destroyed, and pronounce before
the whole world that you are BIBLE CHRISTIANS !

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.—TO all appearance Georgey
has succeeded in bringing the rest of his army over the
Theiss. The 3d Austrian army corps has gone to rein-
force the Ban of Croatia, who still holds the left Danube
bank, facing Peterwardein. The hordes of Dembinsky,
lying near Czegled and Szolnock, are held in check by the
second army corps of Baron Haynau, whose great object
object is to force them behind the Theiss, and prevent
their crossing the Danube. The Hungarians have, alto-
gether, 160,000 men and 250 canon, without including
the Landstrum. This army is divided into four masses,
under the leadership of Gorgey, Bern, Dembinsky, and
Vetter. The beaten Ban has his head quarters at Ruma.
General Haynau has marched to his aid with a body of
30,000 men, and 10,000 Russians are marching in the
same direction from Orsowa ; but before leaving Pesth
Haynau published a proclamation, threatening with death
all who, either by words or acts, or by wearing revoluti-
onary colours favoured the rebel cause, or who formed any
plots, &c. Letters from Vienna state that the recent de-
feat of Ban was owing to one of his officers having traitor-
ously communicated his plan to General Bern. The offi-
cer, a captain, had been placed in irons. A bulletin from
the Russian head quarters of Aszod, on the 21st, says that
in a cavalry engagement in the district of Jazyque the
Magyars, though greatly superior in numbers, were
driven beyond Tat Almas, in the direction of Tames Kata.
The Breslau Gazette of the 26 inst. says, "The Russians
lost 6000 killed and wounded in the afair of Waitzen.
The battle lasted two days. There were 120 pieces of
ordnance in the field. The second day the rear guard of
Georgey made a terrible resistance. The Austro Russian
army is surrounded in the centre of Hungary. Klapka
defends Acs; Georgey and Dembinski, with 80,000 men,
defend from Ypolsak to Tokay, Ucsay, and Guyon. They
have been compelled to turn nearly all the churches and
public edifices into hospitals for the wounded Russians."
Letters from Vienna of the 28th stated that Temeswar
has surrendered to the Hungarians. The aqueducts which
conveyed water to the fortress had long been destroyed,
and the fall of this important place, after an obstinate
siege, was to be expected. Other news, from the same
source, is not less important. The Magyars have entered
Semlin, and Dembinsky has defeated Paskewitsch at
Gyongyos. The possession of Semlin opens to the Mag-
yars all the country to the borders of the Danube, from
Essege to Orsova. They are in direct communication with
Turkey, and are able to provide themselves from Belgrade,
which is friendly to them, with everything they require.
The Jewish Chronicle says that some time ago Kossuth
presented himself in the synagogue of Grosswardein, to
thank the Jews for their devotion to the national cause.
He asked pardon of the people of Israel for the persecu-
tions of the past times, and concluded his address by a so-
lemn promise that, in future, the Jews should enjoy the
same rights as the other inhabitants of Hungary.
During one of the recent engagements between the
Austrians and Hungarians, near Comorn, a battle painter
named Lalleman, was killed by a cannon shot while he
was taking a sketch of the fight.

From St. John's, Newfoundland, we learn from papers
brought to England on Saturday last, that a serious riot
had occurred between rival parties of Roman Catholics
and Orangemen. The troops were compelled to quell the
6neute, but twelve persons were killed and a number
wounded,
The Indian papers contain a lengthened report of the
proceedings in the trial of the Dewan Moolraj for com-
plicity in the murder of Vans Agnew and Anderson. The
evidence for the prosecution had consumed six days, and
was not yet brought to a conclusion. At present the
chances of a conviction are slender.

Letters from Berne, of the 2nd, announce the opening
of the session extraordinary of the Federal Assembly on
the preceding day. It approved unanimously of the levy
of troops which had been made. The question of the
refugees was referred to a committee of seven members.
General Dufour was to be sworn in as Commander-in-
Chief on the following day.
DEATH OF CHARLES ALBERT.—His Majesty Charles
Albert died at Oporto, on Saturday, the 28th July, at two
p.m. His body has been embalmed and conveyed to the
cathedral to await the arrival of a steamer from Genor to
transfer it to that city. Every honour had been paid since
his death ; minute guns were fixed, and the hells tolled.
All public offices were closed for three days, and a general
mourning for eight days.
RESULT OF FEMALE EMIGRATION TO NEW SOUTH
WALES.—Out of fifty orphan girls who were sent to
Moreton Bay from the latest emigration ship, forty-nine
are already married ; the fiftieth, upon being asked " why
she remained single ?" said although she had received an
excellent offer she could not get married because there was
not a bridesmaid left for her, but she was anxiously wait-
ing for the next draft of emigrants, when that little diffi-
culty would be over. This is a fact.—Australian Sports-
