ITALY.  The King of SADINIA has returned to Turin. The Patriote Savoisen says that among the papers seized at the Court of the Servites and at the Palace of the Archbishop, are some which tend to throw a light upon the cause of the defeat of the Sardinian troops in Lombardy. A letter in cypher, addressed by FICANZONI to the PorE, has been seized. The curates of the quarter of Ballon and of that of San Dalmazzo have been arrested. Two monks of the Consolata, and the guardian of the monks, the Madonna of Angels, are also in prison, and a rigorous search has been instituted in many convents, more particularly in that of the Dominicans. It appears that a vast conspiracy exists between some nobles and the parti-pretre to bring the Austrians into Piedmont. The arrest of GONELLA, the advocate, who has long been conspicuous for his intimate association with the Jesuits, tends to confirm these suspicious. His son, Monseignor GoNELLA, passed through Turin a few days en route tor Belgium, where he has been appointed poie since, en by the PorE. It is rather remarkable that this same advocate GONELLA was the director of telegraphs a few days before the battle of Novara. It will be recollected that General CHRZANOWSKI has always declared that he never received certain telegraphic dispatches which the Minister declares he sent to him. Public opinion at first suspected the loyalty of the Polish General, but it would appear that the treason was not on his side. The Military Commandant of the city and port of Leghorn, has issued a notification, dated the 11th, by which the public are reminded that all cockades or other symbols or combinations of dress, made to compose the colours of any nation or pclitical party whatsoever, are prohibited, as well as songs, crowds, and other political demonstrations. Letters from Placenz4, of the 12th, in the Risorgimento of Turin, announce that political arrests are still in progress throughout the duchy. The Journal of the Two Sicilies of the 3d states that the last month has been particularly disastrous in consequence of heavy hailstorms and inundations, by which the crops have been destroyed in many parts of the kingdom.  great DETEBMINED SUICIDE OF A FOREIGN GENTLEMAN and 5 o'clock, the frequenters thrown into a state of IN KENSINGTON GARDENS of Kensington Gardens were --Yesterday afternoon between 4 determined act ofconsternation by a most self-destruction on the part of a gentleman, evidently a foreigner, who discharged a loaded pistol through his heart in the centre' of small clump of trees, near the Round Pond, Kensington Z;ardens. It appears that about the time in question the reporti of a pistol was heard, when James Dunn, of 1, crem we - road, Old Brompton, on looking round, saw the unfortunate gentleman fall on the grass; he instantly hastened to the spot,re and found the gentleman quite insensible, and bleeding thme ahiperasrtte.l sl;iaet wound in his left breast, over the region of single gasp after the arrival of the witness, and instingyaveexapired. Thomas Clayton, one of the garden constables, No. 5, was promptly on the spot, and picked up a pistol which had been recently discharged, lying on the grass near the body. On searching him, a purse containing 5/. in gold, and seven shillings in silver, and fourpence-halfpenny in copper, was found in his pocket, together with a gold watch and chain, bute no papers or documents of any kind could be found. His el thing is evidently of foreign manufacture, and is composed of a black frock coat, corded watered silk waistcoat, blue cloth trowsers with black braid down the outside, linen shirt, without any initials or marks of any kind, black silk cravat, worsted socks, and Wellington boots. He wore a blue cloth travelling cap, lined with orange coloured silk; in the centre of the latter was stamped in gold letters," mode de Paris." The unfortunate gentleman is about 32 years of age, sallow complexion, jet black hair, and whiskers, and about 5 feet 5 inches high. The body was conveyed to the dead-house of the parish to await the inquest and identity. It is the opinion of many that the deceased is one of the excursionists lately come over from Paris. The Queen's Hotel at Cheltenham, certainly one of the most perfect and splendid establishments in this county or the continent, is announced, in our columns, to be sold, by public auction, by Mr. Robins, under circumstances most advantageous for a purchaser. The building alone cost 40,0001, ; and, as the property is absolutely to be sold, an enterprising manager, possessed of tact and attention to the innumerable duties of his office, cannot fail to realize a handsome independence in a few years. The business of the hotel is now conducted upon the continental style, and is giving universal satisfaction, besides yielding a handsome profit. The opening of the Great Northern Railway is expected to shorten the period of communication between Berwick-upon-Tweed and the metropolis by about an hour; and on a further portion of their line being opened, which will probably occur in less than a year, a still greater eaving of time may be expected. The improvement already effected is however considerable, and it has been suggested that the Postoffice authorities should be memorialised to dispatch the mails to the north of England by the new route as early as circumstances will admit. Sir Frederic Thesiger and family embarked at the St. Kacharincd Wharf on Saturday, on board the General Steam Navigation Com pany'a steam-ship, Sir Edward Banks, for Ostend. Dr. Shelton 11fackenzie, well known in Liverpool, has been appointed, through the influence of Lord Brougham, to the office of official assignee to the Court of Bankruptcy, Manchester.—Liverpool Abion.
