ENr FROM RoME.-A letter from Rome OF the

the expulsion Of Signor 0allenga, the London
Times correspondent, from that city, has been
ordered. 1t says: Feel
On sending his passport, an English one as
he is a naturalized British subject, to the po-
lice authorities, Signor Gallenga received in
return the usual printed formula, allowing
him to reside in Rome for three months. Or
the strength of this document he engaged Il
suit OF apartments in the PalazZo Ceva, and
announced to his lady, who was waiting in
fiorence, that she might set out thence with
her children and servants to join him here
Mean while his zen commenced its career of
criticism upon clerical doiDgs and the Times,

resided here unmolested for seven months last
season. SignOr Gsllenga was now under no
kind OF apprehension for his personal tran
guilty, especially as he bad obtained his ca-ta

me beginning Of This week he received Il note
from The police, informing him that the direc-
tor, Monsieur Matteucci, requested him to
MAKE immediate arrangements for leaving
Rome, and wonld allow him a lapse Of three
days for that purpose.
Annoyed at such a disagreement Of his plans,
S,enor Ciallenga requested the interposition
OF Mr. Odo Russell's good offices, with a view
to modifying the severity of the police author

ment. the conduct Of tue affair was referred to
Mr.. Newton, the British Consul Monsigner
Berardi. Under Secretary of State, and Mon
signor Maffrucci, director of the police, hOih
displayed their firm in tention to abide by their
decision OF not allowing Signor Gallenga to
remain in Rome; but, recognizing that he had,
70 a certain degree, been hardly dealt with, in
having been allowed permission to reside in
'ha first instance, and, conspquantIy to make
arrangements for his apartments and the
rival of his family, Monsignor Berardi ap.
peared to admit the justice Of Signor Gallen-
gas claim for compensation, and to hint that
the government would not be disinclnpd to
grant it. The claim, after all, will not be
very ruinous to the government AS it only
consists Of three months hire for apartments
IN the Paiazzo Ceva, and the travelling ex-
pensps of his wife and family from Florence.
A respite in the period originally assigned for
his departure has been also granted, which
period expires this day.
REVOLUTIONARY AssocIAT1oNs.-A cores
pondent of the Nashville (Tenn) Banner,
writing from Baltimore. indulges in the fol-
lowing reminiscence:
The old building at the confluence of Ijher
ty and Sharp streets in this city, where Con-
gress and other patriotic assembiages met in
the times past, Is soon TO be demolished. Com
pared to modern structures. it was quite di-
minutiye in height. although having a large
front; and only a few years since it was di-
vided in twain by 4 tall store house. which
riSeS like a tower from the two portions left
Rubbed out, remorselessly, as it soon will bp
by modern progress, l must try 10 obtain from
its remains for the Historical Society," some
thing additional to stir the memories of the
pnrer days of the Republic. The mementoes
Of those times are fast disappearing in all the
cities The old Fountain Hotel in Light street
here, which used to be General Washington's
quarters, whilst visiting the city still holds
its own, whilst close by, but half submerged
or hpmmed in by other buildings is the once
ambitious structure where the gay and pat
riotic met at Washington's receptions so long
ago. Only year or so since, the old buildin-
was torn down in which was penned the last
Declaration of War against Great Britain:
and as matters progress, it will not be very
long before the last vestige of Revolutionary
times will have disappeared from the streets
OF our cities forever.
EXTENSIVE COUNTERFEITING.-A manufac-
tory of counterfeit coin has been discovered in
Allegheny, Pa. The counter!eiter is an ex-
ate prison convict, and the manufacturer of
the dies is mechanic of that place. The
Pittsbnrg Chronicle says of the coin
1t was a Mexican piece. somewhat less than
an American quarter dollar, and said to be of
the value OF four cents In Mexico. They are
in imitation of copper, and made bv ma
chinery. The machinery employed in the
man anufacturing of the coin is very perfect and
calculated to turn out about nine or ten thou
sand pieces daily. Their method of transpor-
tatioh TO Mexico is novel and ingenious. They
are packed into columns, cast hollow, and
closed at the ends, SO AS to appear solid. The
weight Of the coin in the column completes
the deception, and they are smuggled into
Mexico without detection, and showed" upon
the unsuspecting and ignorant natives. These
facts have been communicated To the General
Government, but 1T is doubtful whether thev
have the jurisdiction to interfere, or bring the
perpetrators of the fraud to justice.
DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN OHIO.-On the mig /

dwellings were unroofed, as if by magic. and
the air was filled with joists, shingles, tin and
zinc. woman was lifted bodily up and
dropped in the river, but was, fortunately
supported by the buovancy of her dress, until
rescued by Mr.. Thomas Walters. Several

hour was also very violent in Norwalk, in
Grafton, in Shelby. in SanduSky, and other
towns in the Lake counties OF Ohio, doing an

several places along the line Of the proposed
