ITALY.

Garibaldi, 'elated by his 'successes, has taken a step
which may lead to very serious consequences. He has
crossed the Coman frontier, and entered the Neapolitan
territory by Caprano and Salvaterra, with a view of fol-
lowing up the pursuit, as well, no doubt., as of giving sup-
port to the liberal or revolutionary movement which is
said to be going on in 'the border provinces of the king-
dom of Naples.
A letter dated Naples, 31st ult., says that the Neapoli-
tan troops were guarding the frontier for fear of an irrup-
tion from Garribaldi. The corps that fled from Velletri
reached Gaeta in a sad plight. However, the official jour-
nal has published the tact that his Majesty returned to
Gaeta in excellent health, and victoriously retreating from
the Roman states. The Spanish expedition of 4,000 men
had arrived at Gaeta. _ _ _

PROSPECTS FOR THE POPE.—Manzeni in an address to
the French envoy thus speaks:—"There is at the bottom of
every heart a determination the most profound to accom-
plish the destruction of the temporal power of'the Pope.
All bear the same hatred to the government of priests,
under whatever form it may be presented. I say hatred
—not to men, but to the government. Towards indivi-
duals our people, thank God, since the commencement of
the republic, have ever been generous; but the idea of a
clerical government, of a pentiff king, sets us in a rage.
We shall fight to the last against all projects of a restora-
tion. Right and left are agreed. All with one voice ex-
claim, • 'lnc tempwai rc,..a. of tha Pope is at an end.' "
The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 26th ultimo, pun-
lishes a letter from Father Ventura, stating that the Re-
public of Rome has never given him the slightest reason
to fear for his person, but that, on the conrary, it has
constantly upheld true religion and true liberty.
Among the last victims to the assassin system in Italy
was the Rev. William Kelleher, of Cashel. The rev.
gentleman was attached to a convent of the Franciscan
order at Aneona ; whilst entering the convent he was
shot dead.

A CITY IN ANAIICHY.—The Daily Newt publishes the
following extract of a letter from Ancona, dated the 15th
ultimo, and stated by that journal to proceed from un-
questionable authority :—`• During the reign of terror and
total disorganization of society I have been occupied in
helping to put down our system of wholesale assassination.
* * We have not yet been able to ascertain the number
of assassinations that have taken place in this town. I was
informed by a Sardinian sub-officer, who had been in our
hospital five monihs, that 246 cases of stabbing and shoot-
ing had been taken in during the time he was there.
mentioned this to the governor, who declared it to be an
exaggeration. However, the numbers are awful. The
secretary-general bas been shot and stabbed, but is slowly
recovering. Poor Father O'Kelleher has been shot dead.
I have been threatened for protecting some parties doomed
by the assassins, and have only with great danger escaped.
The Belgian, Russian, and French consuls have fled from
the assassins. lam trying to save your horbes ; but here
carriages, carts, oxen, cows, horses, donkeys, all have
been taken up for the troops. No horse is allowed to pass
the gates. Barricades and cannon are on all sides, ready
for defence."
