      ITALY . The occupation of the Fivizzano by the troops of the Duke of Modena has created an immense sensation in Italy . It appear that the inhabitants , who had lived long and happily under the paternal ' government of the Grand Puke of . Tuscany , had expressed a'detegninatien tp ' n-srab by force ef arms their being transrerred tothe ' ' ddininions of theDuke of Modena ; but 16 ! on tlie ' 5 th of November , the

      troopaoftheDakaof Modena took possession of tlie country by surprise . On the 7 tk instant , two days after the Modenese troops hadtaken possession of Fivuzano , the Mpdetnese . guard attempted to seize upon a Tuscan sergeant ' -niajorwhb had remained in Fivuzano , but the inhabitants interfered in ' favour P the sei ^ eanf ; The Modenese troops fired at the crowd / and two persons weire killed , ' besides a great number wounded . The . Tuscans are said to be in arms to drive the ModeneseoutofFivizrano .

      By later letters from Florence , we learn that the excitement produced by the seizure of Fivizzanoby be . Modenese troops has been by so means allayed . The inhabitants of Fivizzano are emigrating in vast numbers :. PoHtremoli , the seizure of which is feared , las adopted every practicable means of defence .

' and two loaves of bread per week from the pariih . —Coroner : Had y > u represented to the parish the distress you were in f Witness : I did two months ago , before the board of guardians , and they said they could not

They even refused me a blanket to cover me . —Several witnesses confirmed the witness's statement . —Verdict— 'Temporary insanity , brought on by want . ' A Railwat Ghost . —A ludicrous incident hap . pened pear Stoekham , on the Lancashire , Cheshire , and Birmingham Railway , a few days ago . It is pretty well known that the operations on thisrailway have been stopped for the present . A few men were left for the purpose of carrying on some ninor excavations which were thought necessary . About a month since a man was unfortunately kiHed by the falling in of the tunnel near the place where the men were set to work ; and the men heard , or thought

      they beard , most distinctly , the sound of a pickaxe on the very spot where he had been killed ; The ~ wind had been ' rather high for three or four days , but still they heard the monotonous soand of the dead man ' s work in the tunnel . At last it was agreed that one ef them should descend and ascertain how matters stood , and if there should be anything to fear a signal was to be given and the adventurer drawn up again . One of the party immediately consented , " boasting that he feared not man nor devil . Accordingly , the rope was fastened round the waist of tfia hero , and he was let down the shaft , his eompsnioni ready , on the least notice , to draw him up . The boaster had not reached the bottom before a cry was heard from below , and such a twitch

      waa tfven to the rope as plainly bespoke that something was the matter . The man was pulled up instantly , with a countenance pale as death , on which terror and consternation were strongly depicted . To the alnwst gasping inquiry of' What is it V - ' What hast a' seen V he related that , no sooner had begot to tho bottom , than he plainly saw fte white , pale faca Of the dead man , which went backwards and forwards as if he was at work , but which he recognised immediatelv as the countenance of his late friend . ZSs ^ S as quickly spread in the neighboarhood , and the ' raUway g host was the theme of every t /< n « n » ttToral nersons went to hear the sound of

      the ghwt at work , until a tipsy man in a pot-valiant fit would be so obstinately bold as fo go down and fight the ghosfcl Willing to see how such an ene would fare , they let him down , and in about five minutes drew him up again , with the innocent cause of all their terror in his hands . It . proted to be a large new tin powder can whieh had been left there by the men and which had been placed on rather a rickety position on a projecting stone . It was splashed with mud inauck afaibiOB that it somewhat resembled a man ' s face , and tbe wind through the excavation bad caused it to jolt from and against the sido of the-tunnel

" Meagher says , 'We will think , dare , and do by intellect' —and so we should , and will . ' Ignorance

      is , at least , but a sorry provision for an assault on the strongholds of despotism . The enlightenment of the mind , and an appreciation , consequent upon the recognition , of our . soul ' s noblest faculties and prerogatives , are decrees , rebellions against slavery . So they were when the people wrested the ' great Charter * from" the crowned tyrant John . : The barons didn't , do it , it was the people ' s power . So they were , when extended education destroyed the serfdom of feudalism ; so they were when the republican system triumphed in the New World ; so they would have been in France had it not been for military despotism arid monarchical perjury j so they will be in Ireland , in spite of all . -

      Public opinion , enlightened intellect , and encouraged self-reliance , will effect ' what loud hurrahs or flimsy cheers coula riot .
