Afternoon, 1k lea LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 7. in= Emperor of the Fersce, as a good neigh takes a lively interest in the prosperity of Ee:gium. We cannot, therefore, be surprised to lean► that his Prefect of Police has received in structions to undertake an officious inquiry into the state of King Licirote's dominions. The Prefect of Polioe is obviously in a situation to pro secute a friendly and disinterested investiga tion in the most liberal spirit, and with the happiest results. To the diplomatic representa tives of the Empire it belongs, of course, to per form strictly diplomatic duties ; but between countries separated by no natural frontiers, and saw elated by so many acknowledged mutual interests, there are relations which can only be niainteined through an agency more intimate, and, so to speak, less en evidence than an embassy. An epoch of commercial treaties suggests a favourable opportu nity for a general revision of tariffs, wherever purely artificial barriers obstruct the aspirations of international fraternity. For this purpose, and for no other, it is that a select corps of those accomplished and unprejudiced gentlemen who wear the insignia of " Public Safety" on their braces, have, we understand, been detached to the principal towns of Belgium to study the wants and wishes of a population still labouring under the disadvantages of Parliamentary government These picked cosmopolitan brokers of Napoleonic Ideas, who hail from the Rue de Jirusalem, are living in excellent style just now, and delighting general society at Brussels and in the Belgian pro vinces with their manners and information. Their !linden is eminently peaceful, and their doctrines distinguished by humanitarian largeness and elas ticity. And that they find apt pupils and ready sympathisers the petition of the beet-root sugar manufacturers lately addressed to the Knee most significantly declares. Whether because or in 4ixte of its proximity to France, Belgium is atllicted with a singularly bold, patriotic, and able press, which presumes to cherish above all coon derstions the liberties of speech, of cunscienos, and of thought, and other fantastic and unsubstantial guarantees of human dignity and self-respect which the crowned democracy over the border hes left so far behind. These airy and sentintentel hbet•tws are far from satisfying the beet-root ens aidaeturers, who have grasped the saving trut► that where beet-root auger Las the best market, ibi Atria. Beet-root sugar is essentially a loyal manufacture ; it is no revolutionist; It adores " a prudent and strong policy "—such as, for instance, the policy of a neighbouring• Impire ; but it is terribly afraid that the mass of the people who consume beet-root sugar) may compare the institutions of a free country, where beet-root a. gee is heavily taxed, with the institutioss of sa Empire which protects and encourages best-root sugar, and may be tempted to prefer a sugared despotism to unsweetened liberty. These loyal beet-root men, however, are--to du them justice—highminded, and superior to that gross and grovelling materialism which would exclaim, " Perish Belgium, so that beet-root sugar " einuiah I " Personally, they despise bass lucre, and ale incapable of subordinating patricians profits. Not for themselves, but for their poor and ignorant fellow-countrymen, do they fear the contagion of that admirable regard for beet-root sugar which is one of the proudest traditions of the Napoleonic Empire. It is all very well for enlightened manufacturers to care for such ab stractions as public liberty and national in dependence. But " the satisfaction given "to material interests in a neighbour ing country " is a dangerous example. " Nobody in our country, Sire"—thus these Belgians approach their King—" is ignorant that " the French sugar manufacture has just been ";.!acrd in a condition of vitality and strength " which will permit it not only to role the home " market in conjunction with French colonial " cigar, but to double the amount of its opera " eons by placing sugar within the reach of every " consumer. This satisfaction given to material " interests by a neighbouring Government has " been appreciated in Belgium as it ought to " be. • • • • Your Maniere is not igno " rant that in a country like ours material quer " tions are vital with respect to the Government "as well as to the nation. The political mind of " the mass of the population is not formed, end " with their aepiratione towards liberty are some " times thiniahts of an inferior order, which " frequently prerail ore, the rceseoheilde opinions "of mar en'i9hteneci citizen. When those " thoughts occupy a body—when the faults of " the Government are perceived by the labourer " in his daily life—the (inaction of industry or " commerce becomes a political question the most " dangerous as the Government is the more deter " mined not to retract its errors.

By way of Wasp a graeefal authority to their petition, them arpery.pstriats cite with anion" felicity a 'blurs eke writings of " a prisoner for whom " b s reserved a grand destiny," who seven teen years ago "devoted himself to the de " fence of native industry." It was a Prince isrocamt Lurie Bossraars that eloquently apostrophised the beet-root !sugar manufac ture as " the daughter of the umpire," and by a bold figure represented her restored to life, and appealing to " her adversaries" in the teas of a socialist Pythoness : " Respect me, for I eamtiolt the &oil ; I fertilise the earth, which, " without me, would remain barren. I employ " hands that, without me, would remain idle. In flne, I resoles one of the residue problems of " modern society. I organise labour and render it "moral." Who in this preside Wand of ours would ever give beet-root sopr eredit for such a lump of ✓hetoric as this f The Belgian manufacturers are persuaded that the words of the Prisoner of Ram will find an echo is " the paternal heart" of their Kuto. We should gather think they would. Bat the petitioners, or rather perhaps the mysterious tourists with the embroidered braces from the Rue is Jiirusaletn, appear to forget that in a country where the curse of " Parliamentarism " prevails, the " paternal heart " of a Knee is not absolutely omnipotent, even on behalf of so just and para mount a cans as the free extraction of sugar from best-root. There is a Chamber of Representa tives who actually have a will and a yoke d their own in public affairs, and who are called upon to discuss and decide in the fees of the oountry questions of national interest is which public as well as private interests are con cerned. This is no doubt an appreciable disad vantage to petitioners who have nut a majority in their favour, but it is a disadvantage not without compensation. A land of freemen does not lime by bread, or even by beet-root sugar alone, nor do citizens who are not already slaves or traitors at heart count their *canny as a commodity to be sold in the dearest market.

Some despatches say that the armistice is prolonged indefinitely; but, according to others, it expires to-morrow, June 7. The Patric mentions, under all reserve, a rumour that the " Sicilian question is about to enter into the phase of negotia tions." I believe I can throw some light upon this latter report. The King of Naples, finding it im pooible to get any guarantee for the possession of his dominions from the powers of Europe collec tively, and being driven quite into a corner, has actually asked the Freneh Emperor to act as a mediator between him and Garibaldi ! I am . given to understand that Napoleon 111. replied at once that before he could entertain any such pro posal, he must know the basis of the proposed me diation, and must also consult his allies. Whether the negotiation has gone further I cannot say. Marshal Vaillaat, who, before leaving Italy, has gone on a pleasure trip to Venice, is expected in Paris by the 15th. He will spend a couple of days at Turin on his way. With the departure of the marshal and his staff the evacuation of Central Italy by the French army will be complete. The Moniker de P Artois announces that the members of the Emperor's privy council are here after to rank as ministate, and take precedence as such according to the date of their nomination. A good example of military discipline has just been .at by the Minister of War, at the expense of an officer of rank. Thera is a general order that no officer is to send his private horses by railway at the public expense without a special order from the minister. A brigadier-general having in spite of this order required a railway company to trans port some horses for him to the Chalons camp, has been visited with a reprimand, and the cost of transport is ilebited to his private account. I have reason to believe that the government in quiry with a vi.3w to the completion of the commercial treaty with England is going on satisfactorily though I slowly. There is, as you well know, a strongly organised protectionist opposition in the country, and the prefects of various departments are con tinually transmitting demands of particular inte rests to be " heard." Nevertheless, the general tenor of the evidence hitherto taken is good—bet ter, perhaps, than might have been hoped for. I do not think, however, that it will be possible to get the supplemental treaty signed so early as the period originally spoken of—namely, the begin ning of July. It is possible that a treaty embodying the results then agreed upon maybe concluded by that time, but there is no prospect of either the French or English commissioners concluding their labours so soon, and many things must remain over to be sittled by a further supplemental treaty at a some what later period.

We have received from Sicily news which the telegraph has confirmed, that the little steamer Utile ha suooessfully landed 200 xohmteers and 2,000 muskets on that island. The arms sent from America must also have reached their destination, since Garibaldi himself sends word that he no longer requires any. It is true that his principle of az:lying one's self with weapons at the enem s expense has been pretty fairly carried out t • time, sad this is possibly the reason why he wants no more. I have seen the brief letter in which he says this ; in it he also praises the courage of the Sicilians who joined his colours, and I have likewise seen a note written by his Aids-de-Camp Tnrr, who communicates the sad tidings that Menotto, Garibaldi's son, has been seriously wounded. The death of this pliant youth would be a heavy loss incised ; he Las been the pride of his father, whose gallantry and simple habits he inherits. Among the wounded there is also the son of Marlin, who was the dictator of Venice in 1848. - I Re inful feeling has been created here, at Genoa, and Milan, by a sort of manifesto from Haulm against the monarchical principle, the only prin ciple, I need hardly say, that gives strength, be cause it gives union, to the present Italian move ment, and which alone can attain a victorious result. That, under other conditions, in Italy and Europe at large, Maszini might preach his re publican doctrines, perhaps beneficially, may well be, but his doing so now is sowing diviaion at a most unseasonable moment, when the liberal party is engaged in a stern contest. He cares nothing, then, for the expressed wishes of the people, he does sot regard the unimpeachable fact that a king has exposed his life in fields of battle, from which Mairsuii has 'always kept aloof, to free whole provinces of Italy from their de grading and gal ml" yoke and to unite them in the bonds - of liberty alone. Can Marini flatter him self that be is more liberal than Garibaldi, that he deserves better of his country 7 Some say, that he envies the popularity and glory of Garibaldi, but this I do not believe ; I believe his imprudent manifesto is the logical, but fatal, consequence of his very nature, a defect, as it were, of his own qualities. Prone as he is to abstract theories, living as he has always done in the midst of conspirators, obstinate in his purposes, and having no experience of the every-day life of nations he thinks now as he thought thirty years ago His horison, his scope of vision, has not changed, * for be himself has stood still. It is hard for any man to abandon the dreams of his youth, but harder still if those dreams once gave him fame. He wishes to be consistent at any prioe, and does not see the ab surdity of the attempt when circumstances become totally altered. Our consolation is, that he has but few followers, Zambianchi being one of them, and we find that his reasoning is acceptable to the Austro-clerical party alone. They are the only persons who for reasons of their own are scattering copies of his manifesto abroad among the common people. A few days ago the banker Adolphus Rothschild pearled through here on his way from Naples, all his money with him except three hun dred thousand ducats, which he has left behind him for the current demands upon his bank. This shows the confidence he feels in the stability of the present order of things in the Two Sicilies. For the matter of that, the King himself has sent jewels and treasure out of his dominions. THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. The following letter has been received by a mem ber of the Garibaldi Testimonial Conunittee in London : Palermo, Hay 28. Dear Sir,—Just time to say that we are in full possession after streams of blood have flown. Fights 'twizt brothers are deadly. We want moue • we want, as I told you, a British steamer, 'with revolving rifles and pistols of Colt's (17, Pall-mall) ; also some cannon reiyt But far the sake of humanity and liberty, do hurry no the sub. seriptions The sooner we are strong, the less the chance of more fighting. We muster now some 30 000 all told, though not all armed. We want arms and ammunition sad caps—Mint riles—or the rifle corps pattern the pascal would as soon have. He is well, and Mimi with joy and hope, though sighing over the neemeity to shed blood. ! will the world never learn to value the really great men of earth until the gram hes eland over them Garibaldi has written only one or two of all the things published over his name ; the rest are the Inventions of ensintes or over-nolo= friends. Kudos must easitinlate. If the Bing grant a constitu ties, all will be lost. The Bourbons must be driven from liat; for it will never be quiet without. Warn the Uniting the so letters, he., from Gan= writes little or none, and dislikes to be made minent. Do try and urge on the subscriptions. The Engl ish ad mind here hes behaved bravely, and Lord John assail's praises are in every one's mouth, but he must not falter nor hesitate. The royal paws is burned down, and the fighting was dagrto indeed. al a l the defeats imputed to the "insurgents," not one has really taken place. The General wee obliged at times to sacrifice some lives for strategical purposes. Now, pray nee your influence for England not to allow Naples to patch lip a peso% for I tell Jun It is useless Ga ribaldi and his friends will never consent to =Shim short of "Italy for the Italians." You may communicate this as "official," if you wish, to the Tines or Daily News, reserving myname. —Yours truly, in great hide, P.S.—I used hardly my this will have to take its chance at getting to you. I trust it to a captain whom I have given the money to pay the postage in Genoa, where he is . Will you let me hear from you! going Her Majesty's gunboat Intrepid arrived at Malta on the 2nd, aid the following notice of the news brought by her was posted at the Bourse 1 . 101110.. diately afterwards : Palermo was bombarded till Wednesday at and-day. At this moment General Elaisano asked for an armistice of 24 hours. This was accorded by Garibaldi after a conference OD baud the Hanaitial, at which were peasant all the cap tains of the ships of war in the roads of Palermo, Garibald i himself, his sou, and Colonels Tun and Origin. Beton the tens of 24 hours bad elapsed the Neapolitan general asked for three days' prolongation of the armistice, which was also granted by Gsribaldi, who was ready to 'deed it eves to three weeks. ThemialUt; held the Royal Palace, the Treasury, and The convent of Ste. Catering had been destroyed by the bombardment, as well as many other buildings. All Palermo was stamely fortified with barrkadea, and Garibaldi had distributed a large quantity of arms and munitions amongst the people. Not the least doubt wasentertained al a complete victory in favour of the population. We (Malta Tones) have received private letters, from which we make the following extracts : June 1. You will receive this by the Intrepid, just in here from Palermo, bringing us back from Trapani our arms, which had been taken from us. Garibaldi is in Palermo : but the Neapolitans are still in Oastellantare, er Citadel, the Palace, and the Finance. The Neapolitans have asked a second armistice of three days, which was granted by Garibaldi, to end on Sunday, at neon. It was thought the troops would not Light. This merain . at 2 a.m. we had another landing of about 80 emigrati, prmcipally Sicilians, from Genoa, in a Iraq amallateamer, with 2,000 muskets and a large supply of cartridges (100,000), notwithstanding the vigilance of the Neapolitan cruiaers. They also had with them 1,0001. in money. We are again in some little alarm, as there is no moral force to repress the lawless tendencies of the numerous vagabonds prowling about, who have not so far seen any sign of activity or energy in the new national guard, and several bold robberies have been perpetrated in the country near Marsala. We hope the admiral will con tinua to interest himself in our behalf and send some small craft here for oar protection. Another letter from Marsala, dated 31st May, after mentioning the landing of the Sicilians, says The townspeople earns down to meet them with a band. Don Enrico Fanlel a was in command. It is said • Nea politan steamer et Trapani is getting up her steam. Two other steamers with 2,000 troops for Garibaldi are expected here to-day or to-morrow.

The Neapolitan troops, who still held these points, were greatly discouregat and it was thought would not fight. The streets, barricaded and protected by cannon, were in the bands of Garibaldi and the townspeople.

The following address to Genersi de Lamoricihre boa been prepared by the inhabitants of Ancona : On the 26th of March last, coining from Belgium, yon landed, general, at ADOORM. Your appearance on the soil of Italy was carefully veiled in mystery. At first we dis believed the rumour that the hero of Africa, he wh ew glorious sword had been tried and proved on so many fields of battle, was going like a conspirator to the Apostolic Chanoallerie, to pet himself at the service and constitute himself a defeader of the worst of governments—that of B e st ineredulity was no longer pomade. On the solemn day of Easter, you, general, instead of praying, accepted • sword from the hands of Cardinal Antonelli, and from the palace of Monte Citorio yoti declared war against the revolution. On the day when every catholic approaches another for reconciliation, when all men feel that they are brothers, you came and called us Islamitea But why? Because, accustomed to gain your glory on the soil and over the p eop les of Africa, you wished to persuade yourself and the world that you had not come here to fight against civilisation and th e wi s h es o f a renascent peo but against a people who by their nature and passim are in no respect superior to the wild horse, led on by Abd-el-Bader. Did you by this expect to find • legitimate affinity between your past glory and that which yogi propose to squire on Italian ground? But reflect, we pray, that if Italy, supported by the arm of that generous country which was your cradle, is endeavouring to recover her independence, to join again her scattered limbs, to acquire her freedom, she is not desirous of destroying reli gion, of overthrowing the altars, but on the contrary seeks and finds in the Divine law the reason for her just wishes and her future greatness. Doubtless there was, at a period not very remote, a revo lution that proposed to imar the overthrow of all religion, principle, substituting he ,it at best the Goddess Beason, as conceivedby perverted minds. Such an overthrow might justly be regarded as worse than the invasions of Islemites ; but yet doctrines of this nature were the foundation on which was built up the greatness of the Orleans and your awn. Those doctrine*, repugnant to the good sense of the Italians, were able to prevail at a period of bewilderment in France, but they cannot take root with as, who, while inflamed with love for our Italian country, are at the same time devoted to the faith of our fathers, which imposes on us the duty of loving and respecting him who as supreme pontiffhies aloft its tandard upon the summit of the Vatican. What, then, is the true object you propose to yourself to attain by combating what you are pleased to an the revo lution ? That of restoring Greece to Turkey, or Belgium to Holland ! That of replacing Lombardy under the abomi nated dominion of Austria! Or is it against our happy 4te:hn, the Romagnolsthat you are directing • crusade, a re secood Godfrey de Bouillon? Bat what have they done, what are we doing, against you ? Where is their heresy, where profanation of temples ; where are there Calvinists, where Arhus ? Come, general, be loyal, as you were formerly valiant. Can you cal f the sustained efforts of • people revolution—of a le that is seeking by every possible means to regain its ? Do you call revolution this imperious desire which impels ell the parties of a nation, too divided hitherto to group, to constitute themselves into one homogeneous whole, so that they may be enabled to call themselves the Italian nation? This is the feeling, believe it, that mikes every heart throb, that animates us, that will enable us to trample under foot every obstacle opposing the accomplish ment of the peat work, to which every Italian of sense and courage has devoted himself. Ica word, do you come as our enemy? Well, be it so. We accept your challenge, and when wanted shall be against ' you. Bat we indulge in the hope that the truth may enter L your mind, that from the bad orpninition and discipline of this Papal army, collected from the refuse of this and other countries, you may have learnt to appreciate the tendencies of our goveihmeat and the miseries of these populations, who ardently desire the day of their redemption. Should you still persist in regarding our present attitude of silent expectation through the veil that blinds you the din of Italian arms may perhaps convince you hereafter that •yyeaaa are seeking in vain here the laurehyou once gathered in barbsogis regions, laurels which are sullied and withered since yon drew your sword for • cause entirely opposed to your ancient principles and political faith. Ancona, May 18, 1880. THE COLUMBIA MISSION. Divine service wan held, and a sermon was preached by the Rev. Henry Mackenzie, yesterday, at St. Martin's-in-the-Pields, in aid of this mission. The rev. gentleman took for his text the 34th verse of the 19th chapter of Bt. Luke : " Occupy till I come." Aftert that the present Bishop of Columbia had been connected with the church in which they then were, he proceeded to observe that the colony of Columbia was one of those which gave the higheet promise of future prosperity, and was ant worthy of their exertions. In consequence of the discovery of gold there had been an immense increase in the po pu lation of the colony, the inhabitants of which consisted of Europeans, Chimes, and 70,000 natives. The great objects of the mission were to preach the gospel to the miners, the Chinese, and the tiatives, and to educate their children in the protestant faith. Only a short period bad elapsed since protestant parents in the colony de hose of educating their children were compelled to mind their eons to the Roman catholic bishop, and their daughters to the Roman catholic Sisters of Cha rity, there being no protestant school. The mission had, however, now opened a school where protestant children might receive a sound education without being in danger of imbibing the errors of the catholic church. The exertions of the district visitors, both male and female, had been most successful. One of them was called " the miners' friend," and another had nobly earned the title of " the Evangelist of Chinamen." There were several per. sons present who were about to proceed to Columbia for the purpose of devoting their lives to the service of their Maker, in teaching the ignorant, comforting the sick, and instriligg the truths of the Gospel into the minds of therm who, up to the present time, had had no opportunity of being en lightened. Upon the conclusion of the service a collection was made, which amounted to 28/. 9s. SPANISH PILIBONERE AMONGST THE Moore.—The Courtier de Bayonne publishes • statement of sixteen Spanish primmer. who were brought back to Tetuan by the Moon after the conclusion of peace. According to the amount they g ive of their captivity, they were treated with the most horrible cruelty, owing to the conduct of one of them, named Carrangue, • volunteer in the Basque battalion, who turned traitor to his country and his faith : " This wretch," says the Courtier, ' was the most bitter enemy of the other prisoner. It was he who exerted the fanaticism and ferocity of the Moon against hie countrymen and comrades. Ono of the horrible Innen employed by the Moors to act on the feelings of the prisoners was to throw in the midst of them the blood stained beads of other Christians, which they had brought to Fez as trophies. These unfortunate soldiers were at length set at liberty, and left Fes on the 4th of May ; on leaving the city they each received a complete and rich Moorish costume, the announcement of pence having sud denly changed the feelings of their captors. Among the above prisoners was • Captain Rocamora, who lost his m oon during his captivity. The interview of this unfortunate man with his mr herwho had gone from Spain to Tetuan to meet him, was hea rt-rending, es not the slightest symp tom of recognition was visible on his part." ALLEGED MURDER AND OUTRAGE ON A SERVANT. —Yesterday. Mr. Bedford, the coroner, at the St. George's Workhouse, Mount-street, Grosvenor-equare, brought to • conclusion an inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Mahal* Howard, aged 18, • domestic servant in the service of Mr. Poole, of 9, Devonshire-place, Wands worth-road, who was found dead in the river last Wednes day morning, near Cubitt's-pier, Pimlico, with marks of violence on her person, which led to the belief that the unfortunate young woman had been the subject of an outrage immediately before her death. The discovery sad identity of the body having been proved, Dr. Bier ham, of Dukeetreet, Grosvenor-square, deposed that he had made • poet tureens examination, which showed that the deceased had been in her eighth week of pregnancy, and it was his opinion that she bad bad a mis camage. He had no doubt but that the deceased had been the subject of a moat violent oiling* immediately before her death, or within 24 hours at the utmost. There were several discolmustions on the body, which might have been the result of direct violence • and also four alight bruises on the left side of the forehe ad, and a large bruise en the left knee. The coroner, in summing up, mid the evidence we. very iMaatidactory as to how the deceased got into the river, but they had sufficient evidence to prove that the unfortunate girl had been violated in a most cruel and dreadful manner shortly before her death. The jury returned a verdict to the following effect :—" That the de ceased was found drowned, with marks of violence." Several of the jury expressed surprise that such an outrage should have been committed almost in broad daylight.— Times.
