P. §.—Trespay MorsinG, 10 o’Clock.—Grave news has arrived from Rome. Prince Rospoli baring placed himself at the head of a demonstration of rich Roman noolewen, who hai off-red their persons and thetr fortunes to the Pope, the 4 e rushed in crowds to the palace of Prince Rospoli to mand from him an explanation of his intentions. In @ short time the street of the Corso and the adjacent streets were so greatly crowded that trave ling was tater- rapted. Anarmed force was compelled to interfere to the crowa. It was feared that there would be @ disturbance the At the moment of sealing this letter I have got the amount of the receipts, which have ascended to 30,000 francs. - aD. The following is from the Verona correspondent of a London paper, corroborating the testimony of Dumas:— A serious disturbance has taken place in Verona. The , dramatic company at tho Ristori Tnostre, reauced to ex- | tremes by the refusal of the public to attend any places of public amusement, made an appeal to the charity of the iphsbitants of the city by the announcement of a re- Presemiation without admission tickets, Dut at whicn @ Coliection was to be mate duriag the performance for the Denefit of the almost destitute members of she commany. ‘All the avenues to the theatre were, towards seven o'clock in the evening, thronged with people. The poles expected that come demonstrstion would folow, bus aid not know wbat form it would take. About tour thou sand persons entere’ the Louse, deposited their offsrings in,the plates, which had been stationed in various parts oF bh theatte, in onder to rédclve the QhntriONtiRs, of the audience, and waited until the band giruck up the overtare, when, as if id obedience to ® preconceried aig nal, the cry of “Ont! out! was raised, aud a general rush took place in the direction of the door. The com. missarics of police, awed by this unexpected movement, took to their heels, and the dense multituie issuing from the theatre defiled in procession along the stroet#, with sbouls of “ Doath to Austria! Down with our tyrants! Long life to Victor Emanuel, our King!”? ‘The march through the city was saluted by the applause of the populace, and by an improvised illumination from the winows of the housea, “But the police goon recovered down upon the spot with a reinforcement of numbers. A generat engagement took place, the civillans wereo in all directions with the bayonet; some uely woun: given and received. A horse patrol was overtaraed aad trampled under foot, several officers were disarm finaliy the tumult was quelled, the crowd dispe a number of parsons left in the custody of the po! trations of a less serous charecter are of almost rrence in Venice aud the other cilics of the 2 provinees. Such is {be state to which these pro- vincea are reduced, and the evil is one that ean ouly be aggrevated by ap amelioration in the coadition of the rest of Italy. Tho Crops. WHEAT CROP IN T FE. The Sheibyville Tre Union learns from farmers in Redford county that the wheat cro failure in that connty. In view of the the growing wheat crop will be a short one, a cor respondent of the Grepeda (Miss ) Rural Gentieman sug gests a remedy in tho planting of May wheat, which he says is equally gooa and yieldsss much It js also sug- gested Dy ono of our Tennessee exchanges that farmere ought to plant larger crops than ueual of Iadian corn Tae West Tennessee Whig says:—It is believed by @ large number of our farmors tuat the wheat crop ir greatly ia- jured, if not totally destroyed, by tue severe wiater, Many are eowiog again, but believe tho season ts so far gone that the chanches are decidedly against succese. East Tryseseee Worat Crops —Information from all parts of Tennessee is to the eflect that the prospective wheat crop ig very unpromising. The winter has boon unfavorable for the production of wheat, ani the discoa raging prospect of the next year’s crop is having a de- cided milke2ee upon the ruling prices of grain now in the market in Watend of the Stete. Wheat is now worta one dolls nd twenty-five cents, and corn, the naked grain, without sacks, is worth seventy-five cents, although there is a quantity of it in tho couatry.

THE WHEAT IN ST. CLAIR COUNTY, ILLINOIS. All the farmors, says the Ad-~ocate, with whom we bave bad an opportunity of conversing, unite in saying toat the wheat ia this vicinity has been mucn injured by the severity of the winter weather. Some tielts—those which wore sowed Iato—are thought to be injured beyoud re- covery. Other diclda, though somewhat iojured. will pro- ‘as | badly recover upon the opening of spring. It is yet too early to decide upon the prospects ot the crop. SUGAR. The Louisiana Sugar Planicr encourages ths hope of a betier crop of sugar the coming year than was made the lest year.

Lieut.

Lieutenant White, commasding the escort, has received Orders to abapdon the depot camp and mare forward With bis commend on next Monday. The Quartermaster’s trang will advance ia charge of Wagoumaster Creigtton, the whole under the general supervisien of Lieutenants Lyon and Howard, I predict that all hands, men, ani mals and wagons, will have passed (he mountains by the ‘22d inet. ‘Thus far what bas long been judged as an extensive, impenctrabie mouptaip section, without a redeeming fea- tare, by many self-constituted wiseacres,and utterly im- practicable for an emigrant route, bas beea, for 270 miles, (our present distance from the initial point), converted into an easy, feasible wagon road, over which an emigrant train may pass without the least diMiculty. To effect this, however, though nature has helped much, has involved considerable labor and perseverance. Indeed, the sta! worth laborers, sona of America, Ireland ‘and Germany, have done all of which buman energy was capable; forty- one miles bave sufficed to test their calibre and enduring power; their toils bave been without murmur, encouraged af they bave been by the untiring energy and good judg: ment of the officer in command S ‘Tho privcipal portion-of the labor bas comprised felling thick fores's of piue, cedar, spruce, fur and hemlock trees, grading and rock clearing. It is a consoiation to look back upon what bas been done and to know that the greatest ciflicuities are over. To witness, for the first time, the passage of a train of government wagons and a body of United States troops over a practicable mountain road in this distant region will certainly be a grand and imposing sight. Mr. T Kolecki, topographer, has completed the mapping of the line as far as the foot of the “ dividé,” the branding of the mile posts em route, and the running of a line of levels over the same, with a view of obtaining accurate railroad data, &c. Mr. Jno. Weisner, the accomplished aod zealous astronomer of the expedition , has been ordered to establish his observatory upon the mountain summit, at an altitude of 1,600 feet, for the purpoge of determining its position, and observing lunar “culminations,” &c, This gentleman informs me that he has already collected highiy important astronomical resulta at the Dalles (Ore- gon), as also at divers prominent points touching the line of the road, viz: at Walla-Walla and Cocur-d’Aléno sion. Mr. P.M Engel, for the past fortnight, bas been actively engaged in taking in the topography of the line where it intersects the Ooiville wagon |, proceeding thence to tho fort.

On the 1th the theatre was crowded, ag Gabriel Von Feresey, a celebrated Hungarian actor, was to play tae part of the Servian hero. The boxes wore pri ally occupied by Servian ladies in their na: twine, who cried ‘Zsivio a Magyar” (Long life co the Magyara) ag soon as M. Von Egressy gppeared on the stage.

Miss Daly will be remembered as having made @ success as Burion’s theatre last year,in Mr. Gayler’s comedy ‘Our Female American Cousin.’” ‘The latest theatrical attraction at Rome is the ballet, “La Sylphide a Péquin,”’ in which Miss Plunkett has the principal part.

There are aise many things of which, unfortunately in one sense, we large @ number of persons know altogether too much. Thus a stroll through Chatham street, the greag mart of Hebrewdom in this city, will display to the eyes of the observer two or three email, dark, ferbidding-looking show-bouses, the exte- vier walls of which are cempletely covered over with mammoth paintings, containing representations of monkeys, serpents, skeletons, Venuses, Cupids, mermaids: from the Feejee Isiands, lions from the most distant parts of the globe, elephants and elephant dogs, men and women clothed in fantastic costumes, in the most extraordinary at- titudes, and performing the most terrific feats, and, in fact, mearly everything dreamed or not dreamed of “‘in your piai- 'y,’’ all mixed up in One grand confusion and prefe- sion, which cannot fail to harrow up to the highest pitel: the imagination of the unsophisticated passer. Before such an establishment as this, Josh,(reah from “away down East,’’ with bis head chuck full of knowledge and the Cutest of cute ideas, stops and surveys the huge wonders spread before his gaze, with gaping and strained eyes, the very impersonation of mute astonishment. On one ef the pieces of bedaubed canrass he beholds “ the miraculogs ‘man who lives entirely om stones,’”’ seated om a chair, with an immense pile of rocks at one side, a table at the other, tm the act of Beginning his most indigestible collation. ‘The name of this marvellous being is Mons.

Withim, the aforesaid Josh plucksout a dime, pays his way, aad agcends five stories to behold the performance.
