The Week,
chloroform , brought about , it is believed , paralysis of the heart . The surgeon had not commenced to operate when he discovered that his patient was dead . The second took place at the Cumberland Infirmary , Carlisle . The unfortunate sufferer was a young man who had been a fortnight in the hospital , and on Thursday , having to undergo an operation , he expired immediately after receiving the aiiiesthctic There appeared to have been a proper amount of care exercised by the surgeons in attendance , and doubtless the lamentable catastrophe was the effect of heart disease .
FOEEIGN INTELLIGENCE . —In Pans they pretend to be acquainted with some extraordinary activity said to be going on in our English danger were able to effect their escape just in time . Two deaths have taken place through the influence of chloroform . The first , a man named John Cassnacli died in Newcastle Infirmary . The unfortunate man had been removed into the operation-room for the purpose of having a leg amputated , and manifested a great degree of trepidation on the subject . This fear , coupled with the action of the arsenals in the preparation of war material . Our Government , they
allege , shows itself more and more anxious on this subject of armaments . It is dissatisfied with the quality of the iron coating for the new vessels , and has got some plates from the manufactories for thc French marine at St . Etiemie ; and it is also engaged in testing certain new Congreve fusees of a most destructive character . Bat these experiments are kept carefully secret . Perhaps there is as much of what is purely alarmist as of what is real for these statements . A marriage between the brother of the King of Portugal and the Princess of Savoy is talked of as in negotiation . The semi-official Correspondent Anlografa of Madrid
announces a joint intervention of England , France , and Spain iu the affairs of Mexico . Spain , acting in concert with England and France , will send troops from Cuba to Mexico . The Central Venetian Congregation have addressed the Emperor of Austria , praying for a diminution of the insupportable burthen of the military billeting system . The address finds publicity through the colums of a Turin journal . King Victor Emmanuel is to leave Turin on the 14 th for Florence , in order to open the Exhibition in that city on the following day . The Emperor of Brazil is now to be added to the other potentates who have recognised the
new Kingdom of Italy . Letters from Italy represent the Baron ... icasoli as daily securing to himself the esteem and support of his countrymen by his honest and straightforward policy , and the thoroughly national character of bis administration . The recent crossing of the Papal frontier by the Italian troops in pursuit of the Bourbonist brigands who had taken refuge in the Legations has led to the French representative demanding explanations from the Cabinet at Turin . Baron
Ricasoli , of course , replied that the proceeding was unauthorised by him ; it-was much to be regretted ; it should not occur again , and so forth . General Delia Rovere , whose administration of Sicily was most successful , has formally accepted the office of Italian Minister of AYar . The extravagant rumours which arose out of a few English marines having been lauded at Castellamare have at last been set at rest by a letter from the Italian General commanding the district , which explains that the disembarkation took place merely for the purposes of drill . Of course , people in England required no explanation of the fact ; but the sensation
it created and the rumours it gave rise to in Italy and France were amazing . On the return of the King of Sweden to Stockholm from his late tour in France and England , the Baron de Salaroli , Envoy Extraordinary of Victor Emmanuel , presented his Majesty with an autograph letter from his royal master , accompanied by the insignia of the Order of the Annunciata . The anniversary of the coronation of the Emperor of Russia was celebrated at the cathedral , and in various churches of Warsaw , on Saturday last . It is satisfactory to find that
the ceremonies were unaccompanied by any popular demonstrations of an antagonistic character , and that order was in no way disturbed . News came from Posen of a great act of faith about to be performed from a patriotic impulse , in behalf of Poland . Upwards of 200 ladies , of the higher and middle classes , have resolved to make a pilgrimage from that place , on foot , to a shrine of the Virgin near AVai-saw , and sixty leagues distant , in order to invoke the aid of Mary in restoring the Polish nationality .
