FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY IN ITALY.  The Paris correspondent of the London Telegraph forwards the following details of the tragedy mentioned a few days ago by a correspondent at Rome The ghastly crime at Rome, of which I lately wrote, seems likely to have its mysteries cleared up almost as quickly as the Whitechapel affair. Your readers will remember that a woman's body was found in a case at the railway station. It had been sent from Naples on the 1.-ith. At the station there are kept son the register the names of persons who fuliil the office of our Parcels Delivery Company. The polico soon found which of them had despatched the case. He is a man who hangs about the station touting for such commissions. It came out at once that a porter had brought this box on a truck at eight o'clock in the morning. The commission agent intercepted him, and agreed with .1 young manwalking alongside as to the price of cArriage to Rome. The porter was easily found, and he could tell what house the case had been taken from; and then all the mystery was scattered. At the beginning of this month a young girl, of respectable position, only 17 years old, ran away with a medicll student who was following the lectures at Naples Univers: ty. She took with her 21,000 francs. it appear: certain that this girl is the victim, although surgeons at first believed the corpse to be that of a middle-aged woman. Possibly the student poisoned her, for the intestines have been taken out by a skilful hand. But some operation of the sort would be needful to fix the body in such a small ease. The supposed murderer has not yet been arrested; but the police are very confident. He was seen at Naples 04 is day before the discovery. His riga is twenty-three or twenty-four. But an evening paper alleges, from its own information, that the girl has been found. If the student be guilty of murder, it is not she who is the victim.  Count Moltke-Bregentved, the Danish Minister for Foreipm Affairs, died on the Ist instant from the effects of an operation. He was about fifty years of age.  The oil mill destroyed last week by fire at Hammermith occupied the site of Turner's house, where he produced some of his finest pictures and many of the iriginal drawings for the " Liber Studorium." It was to this place that his address, " West End, Upper Mall, Hamn tersmit h,” referred.  The public debt of the United States, according to the monthly official returns published last week WAS decreased in September by 3,342.010 dohs. The coin in the Treasury ambunts to 67,833,000 dots., and the currency to 4,790,000 dole. Mr. Bristow has called in live millions of Five-Twenty Bonds of 1864—viz., 2;00,000 &Is. of registered and 2,500,000 dais. of 17upon Bonds. The interest on these ceases on the Ist of January next.  Mr. F. H. Cowen, extracts from whose dramatic cantata, "Joan of Arc," were performed at Norwich, has nut been able to get ready his sacred work, "The Deluge," which was to have been produced at Mr. Kobe's forthcoming musical ineeing in Brighton: so the mm cantata by Mr. John Francis Barnett, founded on the parable of "The Good Shepherd," will be brought out in place of Mr. Cowan's work. A " Study of Hanalet," by Mr. F. Marshall, will shortly be published. In this the character of Hamlet will be regarded from a new staudpoint. The early life of Hanilot. the origin of the intrigue between Claudius and Gertrude, and other like matters, will be discusscd ; the character of Ophelia will be vindicated front the aspersions of Goethe and Geri inus, and the herformances ot Hamlet by Ernesto Rasi, Salvini, and Mr. Ir‘ing will be criticized.
