Anzio in mistake for Giiimicino , have been , arrested by the Roman authorities for infripging the police and sanitary regulations . On the representations of the British vice-consui , they were liberated , but not until they had undergone imprisonment , for four days , ancl been kept without food for eighteen hours . Their ship in the meanwhile had sailed .

      Oh the . occasion of , the distribution of medals to the Sardinian troops , returned from the Crimea , tie King addressed to the soldiers a speech , in which he remarked : — " You have worthily responded to my expectations as w ^ ell as to the hopes of the country , and yoir . have justified the confidence of the ' Allied Ppwers , who . offer to you to-day a solemn acknowledgment of their high opinion . I now . receive back , your victorious standards , certain that if the interest and the honour of the country oblige me to restore them tp y ° a . y ° "wM " ever and everywhere cover them with fresh glory . " These words were hailed

      with enthusiastic vivpts . Eleven persqns are now being tried in N " aples , on a charge of conspiring against , the Government . ^ They were , betrayed nearly a-year ago to . the autbprities by a spy named Donienfco Pierro , formerly one of their body . Oh the receipt of Pierro ' s information , the . police arrested some of the cpnspifators in a coffee-bouse ^ where they met for . consultation , and others in their private dwellings . Several forbidden books and seditious foreign journals were likewise seized , and among these werfound some , letters written in a kind of jargon intelligible to none but the conspirators . The Attorney-General , n eyertheless , contrived , after much labour ,, to interpret them according to his own , views , which Tvere to the

      effect that a new conspiracy was going forward * and that the persons arrested had instigated the populace to rebel against the Government , and had also tried to disaffect the King ' s troops . Upon the strength of this interpretation , combined ' with the information of Pierro and two other witnesses , the prisoners are to be tried . When the conspirators were arrested , which took place aslong ago as Ju . ly , 1855 ., one of them , a man named Mignonna , was subjected to the most insulting and cruel usage . The police-officers stripped him , and emulated e ^ oh other in striking and spitting on him . Being examined before the ' higher authorities the following day , Mignonna waB bound , and received fifty lashes . "An officer , named Quartana , " says the Times Naples correspondent , " was

      condemned to receive the same , but the punishment was suspended , as Quartana fainted after undergoing a portion of it . The order had been , tb . a . 1 all should be heaven .
