ITALIAN FRONT.
VENICE BOMBED. MANY HOUSES DESTROYED. Received 8.50. LONDON, March 1. Mr. Jeffries reports that Gothas on the 21st inst., dropped one hundred bombs on Venice, many round, the Doge's' 1 Palace and the Bridge of Sighs, which fortunately escaped. The Rialto Bridge was destroyed, and two convents struck. It is calculated that one-third of the houses are now ruined. It was obviously the intention, to destroy Venice's magnificent jewels of architecture.
