The counsels of France and Austria , although couched in that friendly form which is doubly due to an independent sovereign and the Vicar of Christ , have nevertheless a certain firmness of language calculated to produce a profound impression upon the Sacred College .

Cavaliere Cibrario has retired from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sardinia , and Count Cavour has been temporarily nominated in his place . Reform in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies appears to be hopeless . The King denies that his people are discontented , and openly asserts to those who have the courage to represent the truth to him that the masses are satisfied . Some members of the Royalist party recently urged on the King the necessity of making some change : their counsels were of no avail , and , as a last resource , they sent the Cardinal Archbishop . To him , the King made the astounding assertion just quoted , adding , " Send those to me who undermine me ( che io Ie acconciaro ) , and I will put them in order . " The political prisoners at Montesarchio say that they would
rather die than accept their liberty on conditions which would compromise their honour . Poerio and bis companions are suffering from pains in the chest , joints , and the whole of the body , from the excessive damp of their prison , which almost liquefies salt and turns their bread green . As a pleasant contrast to these brutalities , the Times Naples correspondent records " a circumstance of a very different kind , reflecting much credit on Cardinal Carafa , the Minister for Foreign Affairs , and the British Consul , Captain Gallwey , R . N . In 1854 , two British subjects , dying of cholera at Castellamare ,, were buried jn a neglected sbot . The consul applied to the municipal autho-¦

On the application , too , of Captain Gallwey , a duplicate key has been placed in the hands of the vice ^ epnsul resident in Castellamare . ' . The GVand Duke and Duchess of Tuscany are at Rome , where they have had an audience of the Pope . ¦
M . Manin has addressed a letter to the editor of the Turin Diritto , applauding the course taken by Sardinia at the recent Paris Conferences-r-a course which has asserted the right of Sardinia to speak in the name of Italy , and which , ^ as forced , the diplomatists of Europe to admit that the state of Italy is intolerable . An interesting anecdote of Counts Cavour and Buol is related by the Times Paris correspondent , who say 3 : — " When the Plenipotentiaries , were about to separate , Count Cavour observed to Count Buol that their disagreement on the political state of Italy would not , he hoped , prevent them from being good friends as private individuals , and he held out hia band . Count Buol took it , expressed the pleasure ho felt at making his acquaintance , and added that he trusted matters were not gone to such lengths between them in council as to cut off all hope of an arrangement or compromise . Count Cavour said , ' No ; the difference between us is too great for compromise . We must have all or nothing . '"
" It ia asserted here , " says the Vienna correspondent of ; ' the Breslau Gazette , " that Field Marshal Rudetzky has written to tho Emperor himself , requesting him either to come to a decision with regard to tho projects of reform concerning the political organization of Loinbardy , or to accept bid resignation .

? DRINK-MANIA . A Shocking Tragedy has occurred at Rochdale . James Taylor , landlord of the Boar ' s Head in that town , had for some weeks been in the habit of drinking excessively , and it is supposed that this intemperance brought on delirium tremens . His manners became very strange ; and one morning , about ten days ago , lie greatly alarmed his wife by the violence of his conduct towards her . She therefore left home , and went to her sister ' s , but was induced by her husband a few hours afterwards to return to the Boar ' s Head . In consequence , however , of bis alarming behaviour , she got two men . to go with her to the house , and to stay there for her protection . Taylor gave some ale to one of these men , and to two others who were stopping at the house . Shortly after _ they drank it they were seized with vomiting and dizziness , and were obliged to go to their homes , where they were attended by medical men , and partially recovered , though it was evident that they had been poisoned .
In the mean time , Taylor , who was left in his house with his wife and infant child , and a man named Chadwick , took up the poker in the course of conversation with the latter , and , after stirring the fire , deliberately struck his wife a violent blow on the head witli the weapon , and felled her to the ground .- He also attempted to strike the child , but Cbadwick sprang forward and forced the poker out of his hand . Before Taylor could do ati" further mischief , the nolice ^ t ^ r-oA ?> " >
uuiiso ^ uis t * u . c uatiu ^ previouaij iu ui . u ui ounuy , anu took him into custody . While he was being conveyed to the station-house , he drank some essential oil of almonds out of a bottle he had in his pocket , from the effects of which he died about an hour and a half after his arrival at the police-office . The blow which he struck upon his wife ' s head is not as dangerous as was at first supposed .

Daring Hotei ; Robbery . —A very impudent robbery has been committed at the Turk ' s Head Hotel , Newcastle , by a stranger , a " swell mobsman , " but who , through his gentlemanly appearance and address , had been admitted into tho establishment as a lodger . He drove up to the hotel one evening in a cab , and went into the coffee-room , where he ordered some refreshment , and asked if there were any letters for him , mentioning some extraordinary and uncouth name . The waiter told him that there were . none . He afterwards had tea , and
was accommodated with a bedroom for the night . room was situated in the immediate vicinity of seven others , all of which , except one , were occupied by commercial travellers . About half-past five o ' clock on the following morning , tho gentleman who had arrived the day before left the hotel to go by tho earliest train to Carlisle , accompanied by another man of great respectability , well known to tho proprietor of tho hotel , and who also had been sleeping in tho house . They had not boon gone long , before tho occupant of one of the bedrooms discovered that he had been robbed of his
watch , which had been Btolen from under his pillow . Tho pockets of his trousers had likewise been ransacked , and some silver and halfpence wero' scattered on the floor ; but as tho greater part of his money was in his purde , which he had fortunately wrapped up in his shirt , it escaped tho vigilance of tho thief . A Spaniard sleeping in another room was also robbed of til ., and an attempt was made to cuter a third apartment , in which waa a portmanteau containing a largo sum of money ; luckily , however , tho door of this room had been both locked and bolted by ita occupant overnight , bo as to prevent any ono from entering . Aa nobody had left tho hotel but tho stranger and his companion , suspicions
were immediately directed against them , and a mosson- ' gor was despatched by the next trnln in pursuit ; but shortly afterwards it waB ascertained by tho telegraph that tlw stranger had got out of tho train at Hoxham , instead of going on to Carlisle . Ho lias thus hitherto escaped detection . Jt appoara that neither of the gentlemen whoao roouiB had been entered had been disturbod , aud tho room doors in tho morning wero locked and presented no marks of violence . Tho caso resembles that reported a fow wceka ago , and which had reference to two Americans who carried on a system of plunder at hotels in Manchester and elsewhere . It was then shown that by moans of pliers of a peculiar description , which wero found In connexion with those robbcrieH , the key in
