nationality ; to &b . ow that the great obstacle to the iaiependenc « and unification of the peninsula is foreign occupation ( that toy the Austrians being the -worst because the most extensive ) ; and to prove that there is no chance of Sardinia taking the lead in a national movement , as she is bound by treaties to the European system , bat that the only hope for Italy lies in tie Italian people themselves , headed by such patriots as Bfazzini and Garibaldi . She denounced the truckling of England to AustTia , $ which she asserted had caused the shedding cf the blood of many patriots ; defended Mazzini from the charges which have been , brouglit against
him ; exhibited the bloodthirsty nature of the Austrians ; and contended that in the event of the Italians freeing themselves from Austria , England should insist on . the French not interfering , adding that she believed Lo-uia Napoleon would not dare to provoke a -war with this country , as . that-would ruin liim . Miss White ccneluded by calling- upon all to get up petitions to Parliament in favour of the non-intervention of foreign despots , and also to contribute their pence ; for , however small , the Italians felt deeply any sympathy manifested towards them by Englishmen . The fair lecturer ¦ was loudly cheered on resuming her seat .

Tie motive does not appear .. A verdict of " Temporary derangement" was returned : "by tie coroner ' s jury . —A married man , -with three children , has strangled himself with one of his stockings in . the Surrey county gaol . He had been charged v .-iui < t burglary at Epsom , and vras remanded for further examination .
Persia . —Russia , it is said , has demanded from , the Shah of Persia a right of entry into the province of Ufakou ; but it does not yet appear whether the demand has been granted . —The Belochees have invaded the Persian territory on the side of Kerrnan . The personnel of the English Embassy has left Teheran . The alleged capture of Herat is still doubtful . Health of Lo > n > o 2 f . — -An . increase of deaths is the effect winch was generally anticipated from the late sudden changes of the atmosphere . The amount of sickness in a population , at any time , is measured only approximately by the mortality ; and that part of it which
is fatal is of various duration , and is recorded therefore , not in one week , but a succession of weeks . Thedeaths in London , which , in two preceding weeks , were 1261 and 1158 , rose-in the > yeek which ended last Saturday to 1318 . The mean temperature , which fell on the 25 th tilt ., and continued below the average during ten days , ¦ was on Tuesday , last week , only 27 . 7 , -which is li . O helow the average .

The i"C 2 ult ¦
was an open verdict , affirming that there was no evidence as to tho deceased ' s mental condition . However , Mr . Clark , the perpetual curate of the parish , not feeling satisfied as to the facts , did not perform any religious service ovor the body , but simply committed it with decency to the churchyard ground . The fcishop thinks the coroner a cted very wrongly ; but ho wishes the facts to be inquired iuto , aa , if the coroner was in tho right , Mr .

THE MURDER OF MR . LITTLE . A discovery , -which it ia hoped may lead to still further results , was on Thursday made at the Broadstone Terminus , Dublin , shortly after twelve o ' clock . A hamper being required for some purposes in connexion with tlie works , one of the forernen proceeded to a store in the locomotive department , and in one of the hampers discovered a bag containing a quantity of silver , amounting to 43 / . 173 .

Little to hold his money , and the suspicion before entertained that the murderer was a person connected with the railway has received forcible confirmation . —Times of this day .

J » heavy sea , which appears to have broken over the forward saloon , reducing it to a mass of chips , and then to have oV . T-pt the deck , tearing away tlio davits and two boats on iuC port side . Tho deck of tho forward saloon was lifted up in several places , and tho water poured into the berths beloiv , and into tho engine-room and hold , in largo quantities . Tho force with which the sea struck the ship may bo imagined when it is stated that ono of tho forward pumps was wrenched partly from its position , tho strong bolts having started , while massive iron stanchions and steadying bars , sovoral inches in diameter , were snapped asunder . Tho boatswain ' s house was also stove in .

ELECTORS ALIVE . The present Parliament is not expected to last beyond another session . Representatives , therefore , are active , and electors consequential , except in those counties and boroughs where the members are proprietors , and the constituencies estates . They inake no sign , but await tlie pleasure of their lords .
Ia other directions , however , where tlie Reform Bill conferred real power on the enfranchised classes , we observe uncommon agitation . Southampton is a perfect little America of partizan rivalries . Tewkeshmy , anticipating the political last breath of Mr . Humphrey Browit , coquets with various snitors . Greenwich is weighing influences , and even in Lanark Mr . BatiiLo : Coche-OE
may be declined , with thanks , though he is offered by the powers of Hamilton Palace . Then ,, in metropolitan . Lambeth , ' Mr . - AVii-LiAir Williams has been showing cause why he should be promoted to the trusts once held by Joseph Hume . There are ' rumours in Glasgow that the ingenious Mr . Joira Macoregor is not again to represent its commercial integrity . Some enterprizing householders in tho "West Hiding of Yorkshire have been speculating on the production of a fine dramatic effect , by depriving Tivcrton of her own , and sending Lord Pa-LMERston" into the House of
Commons , as the colleague of Richaiid Coddest . No one would miss Mr . Dknison ; but for such a constituency to elect such a . representative as the Premier , would be as absurd as for Southward to repeat tlie joke of commissioning Sir Charges . Napier to act on its behalf in tho halls of the Constitution . Major Eeed , the " little Western flower , " has been warned of opposition ; the Buckingham interest will once
more be worked in an attempt to rescue Aylesbtiry from Mr . Layaud and the A'rronOT G-enerax ; tlio fires of faction will crackle in Bodmin ; and Dr . Lee is for the fourth timo to disturb the stagnation of Buckinghamshire Wo wish him all success ; but how conies it that three years after tho passing of the Kcform 33 ill lio polled nearly fourteen hundred votes , and iu 1852 not half that number ? Is it Liberalism that lias declined in Bucks , oris
it Dp . L-kk ? At all events , though Calkdok QicoitOE x > u Piifi ia certain of a seat , an cllioicnt candiduto might press hard upon Mr . Disuakli . At Bury , Sir Arthuii Ui / ros , or soiiii ! liberal of quiet views , should oiler tlio electors nn alternative in lieu of Mr . . lntED-¦ Riiicic PiCETi , who mny ronsonably be supp ° ^ to have disgusted his supporters , na ho Jms disguistcd every class of politicians in tho i ^ c-
