London, March 1. Mr W. Jeffries reports that Gothas on February 26th dropped 100 bond's on Venice. Many fell round the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs, which fortunately escaped. The Rialto Bridge was destroyed. Two convents were struck.

It is calculated that one-third of the houses have now been ruined. Obviously the ' Huns' intend to destroy Venice's magnificent jewels of architecture.
