Reopening of the Roman Question—Spanish Affairs und How Regarded—The Popularity of the King Wlustrated—Sympathy with Greece—Present Position of the Ministry Italian Finance—Opening of Antiquarian Ex- cavations at Hereulaneum—Duiness of the Carnival. FLORENGB, Feb. 20, 1869. The Roman question will shortly give rise to a fresh battle in the Chamber of Deputies, on the oc- casion of the publication of the Italian Diplomatic Green Book, containing several important docu- ments upon the negotiations for establishing Italy's quota of the Pontifical debt and the arrangement of @ modus vivendt between Rome and Italy. The op- position will seize this opportunity of attacking the French occupation of Roman territory and the want of dignity and independence manifested by the gov- €Th-en¢ in tamely accepting so flagrant a violation Of the Snzember Convention, which France, never- theless, reduu.og Italy to observe by paying her due Proportion of th© =.ntincal debt. The whole Roman Question will be again ~-.ugnt forward in this de bate with all the old passion; «nq if the Ministry should be overthrown serious COlusiegtions may be expected with France, since tho neW s=apinet would be pledged to some decided protest again. the French occupation and to a subsequent rupture of diplomatic’ relations if that protest met with no attention. The Menabrea Cabinet have now been seeking in vain for the last twelve months to obtain some concession from France to satisty the nation, and they must finally face the Roman question ina firm, decided manner, or give way to other men. The great probability that Spain will continue to be ruled by a republican form of government is very distasteful to the conservative monarchical party in Italy, and has quite extinguished all their sympathy for the Spanish revolution. They fear that a repub- ican Spain will give too much encouragement tothe hopes of the party who are working to overthrow monarchy in Italy. Garibaldi is now little less hos- tile to the dynasty than Mazzini himself, who, two or three months ago, drew up @ sort of indictment against the house of Savoy, aud declared monarchy in Italy to have been tried and tound wanting. This document was circulated in tens of thousands over the country, and, as might be supposed, seized, wherever possible, by the police. It isa grave fact that there does exist a large in Italy, inclua- ing, perhaps, not a few members of the Chamber of Deputies, who are distinctly hostile to the monar- chy, and would seize the first favorable opportunity of themselves.

FRANKFORT, Feb. 27, 1869, Our bourse bas been dull for the last days, Ameri- cans only excepted, which are eagerly bought for investment; large quantities thrown on the market from London, Paris and New York have been reaaily taken by capitalists, so that only very little is floating. ‘There 1s a prevalent opinion that under Grant’s ad- ministration the bickerings between Congreas and the Executive will cease, and that the finances of the country will then rapidly improve. The price to-day is 83, the highest since tne civil war. A good busi- ness has been done in Central Pacific bonds, and large sales on New York account have been effected therein. For the last few days speculation has revived in Austrian credit shares under the presumption that the large Waldau loan will be take up by the Credit Bank. Money continues abundant, and foreign bills, particularly on Paris and London, high. Our peaceable town has been held during the ist fortnight in an unusual excitement on account of the settlement which shall now be effected in money matters with Prussia, Public opiuion here was against bargaining with Prussia about the uncon- testable property of the loan; stil! as Prussia has laid her hands on all and everything, and as we have no power to take it back,a more reasonable view commanded not to loge an opportunity to ar- rive at @ half satisfattory settlement. It appears that the King has interfered with the ministers, not to strip our town altogether, and thus a deputation has been sent for and left for Berlin with the in- struction to claim 2,000,000 of florins for the confis- cated railway and other propery.

The Contact of the Kussians with the British must cause an inevitable collision of interests, which will force Great Britain to drop its peaceful and yener- able peatcy, which is often incompatible with the standing of a yreat Power.

THE GALLOWS. Execation of a Negro Marderer in Maine Particulars of his Crime—The Trial and Cenviction—Statement of the Prisoner—His Behavior in Prison—A Confessiou—The Exe- reyes ‘THoMastoN, Me., March 12, 1800. To-day Clifton Harris, the negro convicted in July last of the murder of Mrs. Kinsley and Polly Cas- well, at Auburn, Androscoggin county, was exe cuted at this place, THE LOCATION OP THE CRIME. Auburn, in Androscoggin county, Maine, just across the river from the large manufacturing city of Lewiston, is one of those nea‘, thrifty towns so often to be inet with by the traveller in New Eng- land, It is largely engaged in the manufacture of boots and ghoes, not, a3 in some cases, by the estab- lishmeim of large organized factories, but by deuiers, who parcel out the work among 4 partly rura! popu- lation, who employ upon tt their spare hours. These New England communities, of which the one de- scribed may be taken as a type, where industry, love of gain and mechanical skill are associated, some- times surprise the world by becoming theatres of the ‘most horrible and starting crimes, tike the Coolidge tragedy in Waterville, the Hersey murder in Hing- ham, or the recent taking off of the old man George in Penobscot county—showing that the moral atmos- phere of these populations is, afier all, not muoh better than that of the “‘hotbeds of vice,” as large cities are called. THE VICTIMS. ‘The crime of which we here give a sketch, and the expiation of which took place yesterday in the prison yard at Thomaston, was one brimfui of hor- rors, corbin ing murder, rape, robbery and perjury. Among tite persons gaining their subsistence b; labor at shoemaking were two women—Susal Kinsley, widow, sixty-four, and Polly Caswell, spinster, aged sixty-seven. Living in an humble home remote from py they labored hard at binding shoes for's firm in Auburn, In that, indus- try Mra, Kinsley had not only made a living, but had accumulated @ little property, which, invested in bonds, was kept in the house, t, orderly, indus- trous and respected, they Dot, apparently, an euemy nor an ili wisher in all the wide world. Thorsday, January 11, 1961,_ wil be long remem. nurs january 17, bered as ie date of one of the most terriiic storms that ever visited the State of Maipe. All day and all night the snow was driven in vlinding sheets across the country, Travel and business were suspended, i boldest and hardiest did not care to face the Wwilo elements, but kept within doors. ‘The coast was lashed wal angry billows and strewn with wrecks, The tierce siorm that beat upon the hum- bie Kinsley house and plied the drifts high towards its eaves Was Weaving a shroud about its dead in- mates, The early passers along the highway, break- ing the road, saw no sign of life. Nor all that winter day was there any docr opened or face at the win- dow, or smoke above the roof. still anotaer day the gloom aud stiliness of the tomb reigned about — the marked of all traveliers, © premises, seen and THE MURDER DISCOVERED, At length a neighbor, towards nightfall, impelled by curiosity, went to the door and Knocked. ‘There Was no answer. A little ayprehensve, he proceeded to the house of Mr. Keith, brother of Mrs. Kinsley, and stated his fears. Logether they went tu tho house, Looking in at .ne window o/ tue kitchen tuey remarked the cheeriess aud cutiiag aspect of the room, the floor coveved with patches of snow that the gale had driven 1a at the crevices of the doors and window. They entered, and in the winter twi- lagat groped from room to rooin, At length they encountered, lying on the floor, something wiute, that, dimly seen, bore vhe outlines of @ uuman forin— a thing thatin its ghastiioess they leared to look upon and dare not touch. The horror of murder possessed aud paralyzed them. Hastily leaving the house they alarmed the neigubors and procured lights, APPEARANCE OF THE BODLES. ‘The form tiiat they had seen proved to be the pody of Polly Caswell, lying in @ pool of blood, and frozen stil audhard, Her skull was driven um atthe top, a3 by u blow irom @ ciub, She lay across the door sill, trig in her room aud partly in an entry. in her |, in another room, lay the dead body of Mrs, Konsiey, most horrivly mutitated.

The gallows used was the one built by the United States authorities at Auburn for exe cuting Cox and Williams for murder on the high seas, On it was also executed Snencer for the murder of Warden Timker at the State Prison In 1864. It was set up in a pit made by excavations for limestone in the prison yard. A Manila rope three-fourths of an inch in diameter was used and the fall calculated to be eight feet. The whole apparatus had been thoroughly tested in advance. THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH. ‘There was much excitement among the prisoners, who took every opportunity to look at the prepara- tions. The prisoaer had conducted himself well during his confinement and won the regards of the omicers. He slept weil on Thursday night and ate @ hearty breakfast sent froin the warden’s table, for which he expressed thanks, Rev, Mr. Emery, the prison chaa passed two hours in the ceil of the condemved. He professed to have repented of his crime and to have a iaith in salvation. PREPARATIONS. FOR THE EXECUTION, Sheriff Grose was assisied by Sone Brown, Carkin and Torrey. The time fixed the execu- tion was between ten and twelve. At half-past eleven Warden Rice informed Harris that his hour had come, The Shertif and deputies then took charge of the condemned and fii ry Pal the guard room. Harris, who is only tive fect our inches bigh and weighs but 120 pounds, con- traated strangely with his stalwart custodians. He was dressed in a white suit, and marched aay, showing no signs of fear. Kev, Messrs. Mason an Emery repeated aloud passages of Scripture during the march. About the galleries were grouped fifty persons, including officials, guards, representatives of the ipmnand me evecare authorized - law. ‘The cot ota the soot of the gallows, e few points o1 le the yard commanding views were a ia spectators, including the crosstrees of a HUNG.

A portion of the Scripture was ty-first Psalm. By the prison- prayer was offered by the chaplain. Harris ma then told that he had an opportunity to statement, and he said:—“Everytning in regard to Verrill that 1 testified to on trial at Au- burn is true; that is all.” A white cap was then his face, and instantly Sherif! Grose pressed his foot on the spring. T! was a clang Of iron, and as the crash of the falling trap the boay shot downward, bounded up and spun rapidi, ground as the rope untwisted.

Meeting of Master Bullders=A Thorough Organization of the Employere—Keports of the Various Trades. A meeting of employers engaged in the erection of buildings was held at 61 Liberty street yesterday. The following trades were represented by commit vees:—Plasterers, carpenters, stone cutters, painters, biue stone cutters, granite cutters, marble cutters, roofers, stone setters, stair builders, sash and blind makers and iron workers. The object of the meet ing was to consolidate the various interests in house building for the purpose of defeating the trade or- ganizations of the journeymen in their unjust de- mands, Jt was argued by the masons that no con- tracts ought to ve taken unless @ provision be inserted Coat ail time lost through strikes of work- ae be added to the time speciiled in the contract, ‘ue Comunittees were then cailed on for reports of the condition of their respective trades. Mr. Blackstone, from carpenters, safd that the masters’ society had not held a m for several months, and that he had notuing special to report. ‘Mr. Manton, fromthe painters, said there was no sysiem in their business. Men were working ten and eight nours per day, and wages varied from twenty Suulilings to four dollars per day. ‘the stone cutters the iron men had nothing special to report, Mr. Jackson, from the employing plasterers, said Journeymen were generality working eight hours, and a few were working ten hours per day. He wasin favor of men working ten hours day. Mr. Taylor, of the granite oublers, sald the men were workiag ten hours. The other trades reported, tained nothing worthy of mention.
