FRIGTITFUL 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 remembe, that a woman's body was found in a case at the railway station. It had been sent from Naples on the 1.-,th. At the station there are kept on the register the names of persons who fulfil the office of our Parcels Delivery Company. The police 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 a young man walkin g 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 medical student who was following the lectures at Naples University. She took with her 21,000 francs. it appears certain that this girl is the victim, although surgeons at first believed the corpse to be that of is middle-aged woman. Possibly the student poisoned her, for the intestines have been taken out by a skilful hand. But some operation if the sort would be needful to fix the body in such a small case. The supposed murderer has not yet been arrested : but the police are very confident. He was seen at Naples onli a day before the discovery. His age is twenty-three or twenty-four. But an evening paper alleg,, 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 Foreign Affairs, died on the let instant from the effects of an operation. He was about fifty years of age.  The oil mill destroyed last week by fire at Hammersmith occupied the site of Ttir:.zis h,mse, where he produced some of his finest pictures and many of the triginal drawings for the " Libor St udorium." It was to this place that his address, " West End, Upper Mall, Hammersmith," referred.  The public aebt of the United States, according to the monthly official returns published last week was decreased in September by 3,342.1.11;11 clots. The coin in the Treasury amounts to .57,8:1.1.000 dots., and the currency to 4,7t10,000.d015. Mr. Bristow has called in live miilious of Fice-Twenty Bonds of 18.54—viz., 2,:40,0.50 (Ms. of registered and 2,300,000 dols. of Coupon Bonds. The interest on these ceases on the let of Janulry neat.  Mr. F. It. Cowen, extracts from wh,se dramatic cantata, "Joan of Arc," woe performed at Norwich, has not been able to get ready nis sacred work, "The Deluge,' which was to haye been produced at Mr. Knhe s forthcoming musical mee:ing in Brighton: so the new cantata by Mr. John Francis Barnett, founded on the parable of " The Good Shepherd," will be br,tight out in place of Mr. Cowen's work.  A 'Study of Hamlet: by Mr. F. A. Marshall, will shortly be published. In this the character of Hamlet will be regarded from a new standpoint. The early life of Hamlet. the origin of the intrigue between Claudius and liertrude, and other like matters, will be discussed ; the character of Ophelia will be vindicated front the asrersi..us of Csoedie and Gervinus, and the performat:ces of Hantle, by Ernesto Root, Salvini, and Mr. Init.:, 55 I.bo er3t.ieizjd.
