The- Persia arrived at New York Thursday
morning, with dates from Liverpool to the Ist
in.-t - one day later. Her mails contain im
portant news, of which the following is a sum
mary :
The London Times contains a letter giving
full details af the late massacre at Rome by
the Papa: gendarmes. One hundred and
forty-seven persons were either hilled or
wounded. A number of ladies were injured
and tbe American Vice-Consul received a stab
in tbe aide. Several of the trench military off
of duty, were also wounded.
The disturbance occurred on the*l!ith ult.
ou which day there was to be a grand prome
nade demonstration on the outside of the Porta
Pio, in honor of Joseph Garibaldi, and in com
memoration of tbe annexation of Central to
Upper Italy. The government consequently
gave orders for that long road to be strongly
occupied by detachments of horse and foot
gendarmerie. Tbes-e dispositions, however
had the effect of checking tbe demonstration)
and some thousands of the promenaders re
sorted to the Corso instead, where great
numbers of them appeared with bunches of
violets in their button-holes. Tbe patrols
of gendarmes, Who had orders to parade
the Corso, took umbrage at this symbol,
and insisted upon the promenaders walk
ing singly instead of taking each other's arras.
So strauge a demand of course brought on, in
some cases, unpleasant rejoinders; and tbe
gendarmes, unaccustomed io admit of any re
ply to their high behests, proceeded to make
>ome arrests upon the Piazza Colon no, which
were resisted by the people as unjust and ar.
binary. The gendarmes drew their swords,
and a conflict would have taken place then I
and there had not a French officer interfered,
and, leasouing with the gendarmes, induced |
them to give up the prisouers. The people I
took this as a triumph, and the gendarme
skulked amidst universal hissing. They lost
no time iv making their complaint at head
quarters, and a quarter of an hour later a pat
rol of horse gendarmerie entered the Piazza
Coloana from the Piazza di Pietra, while a
strong detachment of foot gendarmerie issued
troiu the polite office to 'he Monte Ci'orio j
Palace on the other side. These two forces !
then, with drawn swords, made a combined
attach upon the unarmed people ea the Piazza
Cotonna, and in the Corso, striking right and
lelt, turning back carriages, knocking down
wot passengers, raeu, women and children,
ordering the tofts to be closed and house doors
shut, and, in tact, running a complete muck.
It may be imagined what a panic was pro
duced by this unexpected ruffianism. The
people seemed terror-stricken, and those who
were not quick enough in escaping from the
Corso by the side streets were prostrated by
the remorseless sabres of the gendarmes.
The letter concludes as follows :
Several of the French military off duty
were wounded in the melee , a Major received
a sabre cut and a heavy blow With the flat of
a broad-sword on his head ; another officer a
nephew of the General of Hivision, was
wounded iv the left arm. The whole body of
the French officers show the utmost indigna
tion. They are angry against the General,
who, they think, did not sufficiently exert
himself to prevent such an iniquitous deed. -
Captain Gorde, the man who turned French
bayouets agaiust the people at the beginning
of the fray, has been challenged by 10 of his
fellow-otttcers. He has been expelled from
thecluband mess(rrt.«i«., and / ension.) A pro
test has beeu drawn up, to which all the offi
cers have put their signatures,and wbich was
handed to the General by the Colonel of tbe
4oth. The General has given out au order of
the day, iv which he expresses his regret "at
the excesses which had been perpetrated.' - —
His words, however, are rather ambiguous,
aud tbe conduct of the gendarmes is eulogized
ia the main. He weut in the very evening of
Monday, at 9, to tbe barracks of tbe gendarmes
and there expressed his approbation of their
conduct. The gendarmes at Monte Citoro had
lir before received the thanks of Mon-
Matteucci in tbe Popes name, aud,
ley valued far more, live scudi a head j
men, and ten for the uon-commi3ioued
—the price of blood,
'rencb officers of the Chasseurs, of the
the Engineers, Ac. have been sum
to-day before the General, who alluded
to the protest which had been submitted to '
him, and said that Gorde had only obeyed his
instruction. ; that the Emperor was deter
mined to keep public order in Koine at any
cost, ltst upon the provocation ot ihe slight
est disturbance the Pope should be induced to
run away. To-morrow the same intimation
will be conveyed to the officers of the loth.

Iv the House of Commons, Lord John Bus
sell stated that the San Juan question was
under discussion, and approaching a settle
ment. Until a settlement was arrived at, tbe
island would be occupied by 100 British ma
rines, and an equal number of American
troops.
Robert Peel made a speech upon the Savoy
questiou, as it effected the neutrality of Swit
zerland. He denounced the aggressive policy
of the Emperor Napoleon, and called ou tbe
Government to take a firm aud dignified po
posiiion iv opposition to bis scheme. The
speech was received with considerable cheer
ing.
Mr. Wemyss Jobson, who recently played a
prominent part in a New York law Court iv
connection with Lola Moiitez, had figured in
a Loudon Police Court for having threatened
Sir James Ferguson.
The Chief Constable of tbe Isle of Ely (one
of the chief resorts for prize tights) had ob
tained warrants for tbe apprehension of Say
ers and lieenan, with a view of their beicg
bound over to keep the peace for 1_ months.
A report was current that the light between
Say ers and Heenau might probably be put
forward two or three days, on account of tbe
tbreateued police iiiterferei.ee; it was believ
ed, however, in sporting circles that the ori
ginal date wonld not be changed.

The Moniteur announces that the Senate had
rejected, by passing to tbe order of the day by

questing the intervention of the Senate in fa
vor of the temporal power of tbe Pope.
Tbe French journals generally treat Lord
John Russell's remarks in Parliament as to
tbe policy of the Emperor with comparative
indifference, aud in some cases a sneering tone
is adopted. It was said that the buoyancy
which prevailed ou the Bourse was caused by
the efforts of certain parties who were anx
ious to show that Lord John Russell's deter
mination to seek tor other alliances had not
produced any effect on French capitalists.
There had been great animation ou the Paris
Bourse and a considerable advance in price.-
At one time ou the loth Rentes touched 70 70,
but :i strong reaction set iv and tbey rapidly
declined, the last price being 95.
Some of the French journals had recom
menced their diatribes against England.
Tbe Paris correspondent of the London

The Son Francisco papers give farther par-
Oculars of the visit of the Japanese war
steamer Kondamarruh. The "official" recep
tion took place on the 19th Inst, and Is thus
sketched In the Oalifornisn:

Mates He also alfcided to the interesting
fact ot the officials of the two extreme coasts
ofthe faciflc thus meeting in fraternal har
mony, and trnsted that in thus welcoming
him to these shores, it was but the prelude to
a large aud extended commerce between the
two nations. He also welcomed him as the
pioneer Japanese official who had crossed the
Pacific to America. The Admiral responded
in kind,after which champagne and other re
freshments were brought in.
Tbe Japanese were not g-udily but very
richly dressed, and altogether looked as In

They are evidently a little surprised at the
lack of ostentation in their reception, but will

The Homhaulmest of Vera Ckiz.—A let
ter in the New Orleans Picayune, dated Vera
Cruz, the -_:Jd ult., says:
It is truly lamentable to see tbe destruction
of property. By it hundreds of poor persons
are deprived of their homes. Instead of throw
ing his shells along the lines of tbe forts
among the troops, he threw them right into
the heart of the city,nnd but for the tempora
ry moving of families, there would have been
a torrible destruction of life. As it was for
tu uately, the losses were small. Tbey fell
however, mostly upon the defenceless women
aud children and a lev/ men. It appears that
tbe losses among the troops in killed were
seven and thirty wounded, while among the
citizens there were ten killed aud about thir
ty wounded. The latter were mostly women
and children.
On the other side it is computed that Mira
mon lost over a hundred in killed. It is said
that some ninety dead bodies have already
been found. He had also some three hundred
wounded. The Diligence Hotel received six
shells. The United States consulate is deraol
tehed, flag and flag-staff shot down. Particu
lar aim was also taken to reach the Saratoga
and Savannah in port, the shells exploding
not fifteen yards from the Savannah. The
National Guard suffered but little iii their
lines, and their loss of lives does not exceed
100.
Severe Storm —On Monday last a severe
etorin of wind, rain and hail, accompanied by
thuuder and lightning, passed over Frederick
county, Va., uprooting trees, prostrating fences,
and damaging the crop. At Winchester the
chimney of the Farmers' Bank was struck by
lightning, and many persons iu;the neighbor
hood seriously stunned. After the storm a
slave woman belonging to Henry Kinsel, of
Winchester, was drowned in attempting to
ford a stream in a buggy.
In Westmoreland, Va., many large barns,
stables, out-houses, and fences, were blown
down, and numbers of trees uprooted! At
White Point Fishing landing, a seine boat,
containing four men, was upset, and two
of the men drowi.ed. A schooner lying

A CONFESSION OF MIRDKIt- Th- Secret Kept
for fifteen Years. —The Boston Journal of tbe
10th instant states that a man named Weed,
recently returned from California to Sand
wich. New Hampshire, confessed, upon his
dying bed, that be and another man were the
murderers of a Mr. Parker, of Manchester, in
is-I_. The letter announcing his confession
does not enter more fully into particulars.—
X.r. Parker, the murdered man, was, at tbe
time of his death, tax collector tor Manches
ter, and was called out of his house one night
on tbe pretence that he was wanted at a
house, tbe road to wbich lay through a tract
of woods. On the way thither be was mur
dered, aud his dead body found in tbe woods
the next day. The murder created a great ex
citement at the time, and two men (brothers,)
were subsequently tried twice on the charge
of being the murderers, but escaped convic
tion.
Execution in California.—Jacob Elyea,
for the murder of James Mc __uacle on the -7th
of January, 1838, was executed at Stocktou,
ou the 9th ult., protesting his innocence to tbe
lost. Twice be had been tried, and twice re
spited. His imprisonment has lasted over
two years. The lost effort to acquit bun was
grounded on tbe fact that the chief witness
against him was a Turk—hence a negro—aud
hence incapable of testifying against a white
man. Just as he was going to die, he gave the
Sheriff a package of the heals of phosphorus
matches. He bad saved them during the two
years of his coutluement, to swallow in a last
emergency, and so commit suicide; but think
ing belter ot it, he had refrained from taking
iife.

Riotous—A jolly tar, who now gives bis
name as Jeremiah S. Ay res, says he is a sailor
on Capt. Godfrey's vessel, the schooner "S V
W. Simmons," and hails from New Jersey'
came ashore on Thursday last, and feeling
some anxiety to make a display, wended his
way to the Capitol Square, where he attempted
to mount tbe platform, but was prevented
from doing so by officer Morris. Disliking
the idea of being foiled, aud becoming ex
tremely wolfish and noisy, he attracted the
attention of officers Seal and Chalkley, both of
whom endeavored to quiet him, but only made
him more blasphemous and insulting. Find
ing they hod no other resort, they put "Jack"
into the street, aud wonld have allowed Inm
to depart in peace, but he declined to do so,
and poured out such vollies of vulgarity and
profauity, that they were compelled to tie and
cage him. Yesterday he was before the Mayor
and for waut of bail was committed to prison.
Infanticide.—We have already noticed the
fact that the dead body of a new-born babe
was found in a culvert on 2d street, near By rd,
last Thursday morning, and that its mother'
Mary Farrell, would be taken into custody to
answer for the death of the babe. Since then
the unfortunate woman has been arrested and
committed to jail to auswer for tbe offence on
tbe 20th inst. Sbe states that the child died
soon after its birth for want of attention ; that
sbe kept its remains in her room until it be
came so offensive as to attract the attention of
others in the bouse; aud that sbe then put it
into the culvert as the moot certain means of
getting rid of it, and of hiding her shame —
Mrs. Farrell is a widow, aud came from Ash
land to this city about three months ago. She
I is about thirty-five years of age,aud is now in
! such feeble health as to need medical attend
ance.
Attempt it Suicide— Yesterday afternoon the
residents of Valley street were very much ex
cited at the announcement that Tbmplb
Shinax.lt, a young man, had token poison to
destroy himself, and tbat he was feared to be
!in a precarious condition. Physicians were
j at oute sent for. aud the young man was given
tbe usual antidotes, and partially relieved of
bis sufferings, a gentleman who saw him
says tbat he bit and tore his hands until they
bled profusely, and that he vowed to destroy
himself iv less ibau a week, even though his
pbysicianu should succeed iv saving him. At
a late hour in tbe afternoon be was believed
to be out of immediate danger.
Accident.—Yetumrday moraing, a little son of
Mr. Wm. A. Irving,watchman at tbe Exchange

The Clay Statu* attracted thousands of per
sons to tue Square yesterday to see It, many
of wbom were so anxious to get their hands
upon it that the Mayor found it necessary to
station policeman Morris near it to prevent
persons climbing upon the pedestal Bud soiling

impression in this city. In boldness of con

no equal. Her sister, Mies Helen, also op- I

chanting by her exquisite singing of "Hark,
1 bear an Angel Sing," and '-My Mother's
Darling Daughter." A full house will greet
Miss Lucille to-night.
