      ITALY . The Opinione of the 9 th inst . contains the following , dated Acqui , 8 th inst : — " Our town has enjoyed for the last 20 days the presence of the illustrious and generous defender of Venice , General William Pepe . One cannot approach without a lively emotion that passionate lover of Italy , who , from the age of sixteen , devoted to her his head , his arm , and his life . The amiability of his

A few days ago Professors Mancini and Barti , and several other friends , came from Turin to dine with the General . We refrain from disclosing what passed in that family fete , but cannot help expressing the pleasure we felt at hearing the inspired and charming poetess , Madame Mancini , recite a few Italian verses in honour of our noble guest .

      Alleged Scandalous Proceedings Of Lord F...

      ALLEGED SCANDALOUS PROCEEDINGS OF LORD FRANKFORT . At Bow Street , yesterday . Viscount Franhfort de Montmorency , commonly called Lord Frankfort , of 14 , Buckingham-street , Strand , appeared before Mr . Henry , upon a summons charging him with having " unlawfully composed , printed , and published a foul , malicious , and defamatory libel of and concerning Lord Henry Lennox . The libel was contained in the following disgusting circular : —

      " Mr . Macbeath presents his duty to the peeresses and the daughters of the nobility and gentry , and informs them that . he continues to arrange assignations with the most perfect impunity and safety . Having been trained by Mr . Harris , he now acts directly under President and Director-General of assignations , Phipps . " Mr . M . begs to call the attention of the ladies to his

      longestablished mode of transacting business He himself waits upon them at dusk , sending up his caidiu a tissue envelope ; always seeing the parties himself , aid arranging personally with them for the reception of the Lothario of the evening at 1 o ' clock at night ; when he is enabled by his peculiar system to keep the husband insensibly asleep , while the parties are amorously engaged in the drawing-room .

      " P . S . —He guarantees to married women half their husband ' s fortune , or more , if they are found out ; and will put him in the Ecclesiastical Courts , which are an appendage to his establishment . To spinsters he promises husbands , whom he puts in madhouses , and gets all the fortune for the wives . His predecessor broke one baronet ' s neck , for his wife ' s sake ; and having got rid of another , is now endeavouring to destroy his will . Those ladies who will turn up with the parties sent may be satisfied they will be ' looked at ; ' but those who refuse to do so will not be looked at at all . "

      Eyidence was called to show that the female servant oi Lord Frankfort was detected in putting into the post-office as many as 59 letters of a precisely similar character , and nearly all addressed to clergymen in different parts of the country . On being cautioned in the usual way , the defendant said he should reserve his statement for the present . Mr . Henry then ordered his Lordship to enter into his own recognisances in £ 500 to appear again on Tuesday next .

      The Charges Against Lord Frankfort.—The ...

      The Charges against Lord Frankfort . —The proceedings against Loid Frankfort , of 14 , Buokingham-street , Strand , for the alleged circulation of defamatory and scandalous libels , were resumed on Tuesday , when Mr .

At the Mansion-House , a few daps since , Captain Clipperfield was fined ten pounds for ovorcrowding the Heme Bay ste-em-boat , the " Queen . "

      During a late trial for highway robbery , a curious piece of information came out . Mhe prosecutor , who was robbed of 6 s . 6 d . on his way home on a Sunday Morning , described himself as a vocalist , singing at free and easies at the rate of Id . per rint on all the ale that was drunk by the customers .
