Nice, the 10th :—" At about 11 o'clock on Saturday night,
a band of 48 peasants from the county of Nice ware re-
turning from Broe, a French village close to the frontier,
with a quantity of salt, the price of which in France is
one half less than in Piedment. The Customs officers, to
the number of 38, havinz opposed their passage, a dreadful

The Pozzo di Borgo steamer, of thirty horse-power, ply-
ing between Boniface and Ajaccio, has just been lost
within 500 yards of the shore, in the Gulf de Valeno.
There were on board five men, constituting the crew, and
four passengers, two of whom were General Niel, inspec-
tor-general of engineers, and his aide-de-camp. The ves-

IGIOUS TOLERATION IN PIEDMONT.-Jt is a striking
fact that while the Pope is proposing to erect a conspi-
cuous church in London, and as a counter movement Pro-
testants are demanding the privilege of doing the same
within the walls of Rome, the King of Sardinia is signalis-
ing his reign by licensing a Protestant sanctuary in the
metropolis of his dominions, which will have a guarantee
of security in the good faith of the Sovereign and in the
discreet conduct of the community for whose immediate
benefit it is to be built.

We read in the Croce di Savoia, of Turin, that a
second coal mine has been discovered in the island of Sar-
dinia at Santa Maria di Brabusi, 10 kilometres from Go-
nessa ; and that a third stratum of a quality much supe-
rior to that of the preceding one has been found in the
pit of Gonessa.

A PRACTICAL JOKE IN ROME.—An extensive practical
joke was played on the authorities of Rome lately. A
man appeared at the police-office, and announced, in great
apparent distress, that a child had strayed away, and he
would give any one a good round sum for bringing it safe
home

ain. He described the dress of the lost babe, and
several bellmen were forthwith sent round the town,
bawling with all their might, and inciting the faithful ci-
tizens to help in the recovery of a little girl, three years of
age, who had strayed from home, wearing a red boddice,
a green petticoat, and a while apron: whoever brought

her back to her disconsolate parents would be handsonzely
rewarded. The papal agents were so earnest in their duty
that it was not until the whole town was in a broad grin
that they found out the trick played upon, them. The next
morning the following placard was to be read on the walls
of the Eternal City :—" Tidings have been received of the
missing child. Her name is Republica Romana ; she has
been ill and is in great danger, but is in the hands of good
people in London, doing very well, and will ere long be
brought home We to her worthy parents."
