3ANSIONat4OUSE.Yesterda. an Italian. named Edmond Arn- gvelii, professor of the Latin. Italian. French, Spanish, and Ger man laniguages, as well as of poetarid oratory in his own, appeared before the Lo0 tD MIIAYOR, in order to have his Lordship's assit ance in removinga very general opinion that he (the Italian) wasone If the Carbonarn.a suspicion which, if not speedily disipated would very soon have theeffect of maklig.him a candidate for some distinction is another world. When he was questioned rsicre particularlvas to the orcumetances of his case, it appeared from his account that he had left Italy many years thathe had travelled overSpain, Gerinany, and France, in which countries he gained a livelihood bv translating prrose and poetry for literary journals: those who were engaged in laboura of she same kind In nglsnd could very r.curatcly form an estimate of the great disproportion betveen the sweating of the brain and the supply of- the pocket. He, however, contrived to keep his elbows in his coat, and shoes upon his feet. Iri the course ef his travels he was engaged at Rouen by Lady Oxford, to give lessons in her famnily for a ahort time; and upon taking his departtare, he I received somne recommeIdationsfromber Lady2ship.When he came to this country, he took the liberty of using her ladyship's namRe, and it was written upon his passport. He foand, however, at'ter such delay in England an gave a full opportunity for experiment, that I the market for the kcmd of talent he possessed .was glutted, and that the most respectably educated and Introducedemigrants were teach- ing the languages at 18d. a lesson. In France nothirg was now to be ot.tained by literary exertion; and In such a discou- raging state of things, he was deeirous of returning to Venice, and accerdingly applied to the Austrian Ambassador for n passport. Thi he was refused, on the pretext that he was not inown as an Austrian subject, and that hasving only a French pas- port to produce, he had no title. fe odered to make oath as tO the place ot his nativity but he was peremptorily refused permitsion to-revisit his birth-pface. He had since been informed to his great surprise, that Lady Oxford, whose name was on the passport, wrS I one of a number ofemninentpersons who weremuch feared by Atstria, and actually prohibited from entering the Austrian dosintons.Thus waS he, in consequence of his slight acquaintance with that excel- lent lady, and from his connexion with the press, although that connexion was almost limited to the translating of operatic or heroic poetry its a mRere senvant of the muses, set down and treated as one of the Carbonari-as a jacobin, and an incendiary. He had als lost hbs French passport, and all he could get from the Foreign-office was the following document .- The bearer of this, Edmund Angelini, native of Venice, is re- fused a passport by the Austrian Embassy, on account of his having arrived with a passport which he has lost.' The Foreign-office cnnoet grant passports to any but British subjects." Here, then, he was without the means of supporting himself, or the probability of obtaining the means of support. If he went to the continent without a passport, he would be hunted down and imtmared in 4 dungeon, as a man whom It was dangerous to allow to be at large. The Losyt MAYoTt said that he felt for his situation, but he could not consider the case one in which he could properly offer as- sistilnce. It was one which he conceived was peculiarly in the pro- vince of the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distrese, whicih society, he had no doubt, would pay it the attention it deserved, and giyeliim all the relief and assistance in their power. His Lordship then directed an offieer to go with the unfortunate traveller to the Society. PICEPocxKTs oN THE ExcseANGE.-Acommercialgentleman, of great resectability, cameto apprisetheLordrM ayorpublicly, tha, the Noyal ?bxchange was infcsted by a ga ng of pickpockets, whoa vere dressed so like werchants, that their real ceLaraetcrs could not easilv be distingaisbed. He was himself walking from the south gate of the Exciange towards Sweeting's-alley, when he passed five of them, who looked like men of business, standins togetier in conver- sation. As lie p'assed through the knot, he felt a twitch at his pocket, and afterwards found that his pocket was cut through, but not suffi- ciently to permit hiis pocket-book to drop. He had 1,7001. in bills of exchange in the pocket-book. This communication was made to put comnmercial men on thleir gaard. ABtLXoitoUon-srtELET.Sir GEOILGE FARRAIT the Ala- gistrate, received a letter a.ddressed to himi at this office, upon the subject of the unfortunate girl, named Margaret Sullivan, whose case we mentioned some days ago. This letter, which was signed " Amicus," stated, that the writer having seen the report of this young girl's aistressing case in the puhlic papers, he enclosed a 51. Bank of England note to be applied to her use as the magistrate m,ight think rmost for her benefit, provided the statement re- specting her which appeared, (and which was also enclosed in the letter, the writer having cut it out of a London newspaper for that purpose) *waS correct in the Magistrate's view of the case; but should the contrary be the fact, aiid the girl should not be the deserving object she was 4tescrlbed to be, the humane writer in that case requested the 51. note mnight be applied by the magistrates to the use or relief of tbe next case of urgent dig. tress that presented itself out of the mass of hunman mnisery that must taily come under his iotice. The letter, which was charged trcblc ostage, was post-paid b the benevolent writer, aind it had on it the Doneaster poat.mark. he inagistrate intends placing w hat sums lie has received for the relief of the I,oor girl's distress in the hands of the managers of the Ma^agdalen Penitentiary, into vwlhich lshe is in a few days to be admitted, to be laid out by them for her use in the purchase of clotbes, or as the nmanagers' may otherwise judge, but after she has been a proper time in the institution anda situation isrovided for lier In service. Although the poor girl is at present destitute of any clotises but those which she actually wears, yet it fs sot thought necessary at present to purchase anyother3 for her, because, when she is admitted tO the Magdalen, and while she rensains there, she is to wear the dress of the institution. Wls'en she shal! aftervwards be placed out in service, she wvill have the money given to. or laid out for her, as :he may require, or in proportion to the propriety with which she conducts lerself; so that it will be held for some timie as a check upon her future deportment. The poorcreature is fast recovering at St. George's workhtouse from the effects of the forlorn and miserable life she lias so long led; and she seems truly grateful for the humane proteetion she has cx. perienced. No person can rejoice more than Sir. Gas, the jeweller, in Oxford-street, does, that he has been the accidental nicans of res- cuing this poor girl from utter ruin, and perhaps self-destruction; although the circumstanuce h.as been attended with no triffiug ex- pense to him, the large pane of plate glass which shle broke in his window, having cost air.
