ITALY.
The accounts from Italy are as deplorable as ever. The Austrian police and its corps of spies and informers are proving their usefulness by increasing the number of their arrests. Persons against whom no charges could be brought excepting that they were objects of suspicion to the police, were daily arrested; and there appears to be no protection whatever against the secret malevolence of any spy or informer who may choose to denounce an individual as dangerous to the State. To show to what absurd lengths the police system is carried, a correspondent of the Times intimates, for the information of intending tourists, that they will not be admitted into Italy by the Austrian authorities if they attempt to carry with them " Murray's Handbook for Northern Germany," which it appears is a prohibited book !
