The streets of Rome are more than
even unsafe at night, and robberies from
the person are extremely frequent. The
boldness of the needy ruffians who swarm
this sacred city is increased by the impuni-
ty they enjoy under the most paternal Gov
ments. The Pope has 5000 gendarmes
or more in his pay, but they have something
else to do than to look after malefaetors
and protect the citizens. In the most pub
lie streets, and at hours at which thousands
of people are abroad in Rome, you are
stopped by knife-5earing gentlemen who
place the points of these weapons disa-
greeably close to your skin, and demand
the contents of your pockets.
A few nights ago Naples was the scene
of dreadful murder, of which the exact
cause remains undiscovered. One of the
most beautiful and wealthiest girls in Ma
pies, at the moment of returning from the
San Carlo Theater, was shot at the door of
her own house by a pistol ball, which
passed right through her heart. The
dress and face of the unhappy mother
were splashed with her daughters blood,
and she found that she was holding in her
arms corpse. The girl gave one piercing
cry, and expired.
Horace Sanburn of Mendon, Vermont, a
young man whose marriage, about year
since, with daughter of Leverett Wilkins
of the same town was celebrated with con-
siderable pomp, about two weeks since,
eloped with the wife of William Jakins of
Rutland with the intention, it is supposed,
of flying to California. The Runaway
pair took the cars from Rutland at a. IN.
on the 2Sd ultimo, their baggage being
checked through to New York, Mr.. ia
kins followed in pursuit of the guilty pair
throu6h troy to this metropolis. The last
information which he was able to obtain of
bis wife and paramour was in Troy, where
they breakfasted alta hotel near the depot
andonly remained until connection could
b. made with the cars for New York. In
New York the runaway couple eluded all
the vigilance of the police, and no doubt
succeeded in making their escape to Cali
fornia by the steamer which sailed last
week. Mrs. Jakins had been married
about four years. She is daughter of
Amos Pike of Rutland, and comes from
respectable family.
There is in this city, says The Schnec-
tady Star, very estimable married couple
who have had eleven children, six of whom
were born blind, the youngest is blind, and
only few weeks old. When of sufficient
age, they are sent to the Asylum for the
Blind, in New York. They are said to
be possessed of very fine talents. We un-
derstand that their parents are COUSINS

Gen. Scott begs to say to bis correspon-
dents that of their innumerable letters he
does not find it practicable (being quite in
irm) to read one in five or to answer one
in thirty. Applications for autographs
and offices are most burdensome. The for
mer increase with his inability to use the
pen, and of the latter he has, within his
own gift, but two small places (long well
filled); and he recommends no one what
ever other than an old soldier, nor for any
office whatever out of the army.-Nation-

The men were well at last accounts.
