THE ITALIAN 'VENDETTA.-Rome is vastly agitated over the discovery of the body cf a lady which the Tiber yielded up near the Ponte Molle, one evening early in the present month. The viotim was young and richly attired. The dis? covery was made by a fish vender, who atraightway gave the alarm and sum? moned the proper authorities and the pale-faced citizens to the spot. Ia the boBom of the unfortunate lady was plunged a dagger with a diamond stud? ded hilt, and a faint stream of blood was discernible on the silk dress. Profuse black curls hung disheveled over the shoulders and face, and on a plain white collar, pinned to the dress, below the dagger wound, was written in blood the terrible word "Vendetta." A short ex? amination waa sufficient to establish the lady's identity, and it was then disco? vered that she was the Princesa Catari? na di Chigi, one of the most beantiful and brilliant of the Italian belles. She had been absent from her parente* palace for some days previously, bat pride had forbidden a publication of the fact. The cause of the tragedy is supposed to be explained by the fact that she was be? trothed to Prince Erberto Guiglo, who loved her madly; but at last her feelings underwent a religious chauge, and she determined to enter a convent and take tho veil. This determination aroused the Prince to such a pitch of frenzy that it is considered almost certain that ha murdered the one he could not marry.
