LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 2. Clarrsrir of our French contemporaries, who after ten years acquiescence in the supremacy of force are incapable of conceiving the influence of any merely moral power in the world's affairs, profess to be surprised at the coldness of English sympathy with Italy last year compared with the deep and thrilling interest which Gsstasuir's expedition ex cites wherever the English tongue is spoken. Yet nothing is more natural. Last year it was appre hended, with how much reason events have shown, that Italy was shedding her blood fur Flaws as much as France for Italy; and English civilisation has no sympathy to spare for those sanguinary genies of ambition and intrigue of which nations are the counters. Bat this year it is a patriot soldier, the simple virtues of whose life almost re deem the selfish baseness of the century which they astonish and alarm—in arms fur his own country ; with no other ambition than to vindicate the justice of GOD, and to rescue the sacred rights of a tortured race from unspeakable insults, cruelties, and wrongs. The cause for which GAIIBALUI marches is pure as his sword, and if England aids it only with her open • sympathy, we believe that GARIBALDI prefers the open sympathy of a free people asking nothing in return to the purchased sword of a Government which pleads the vainglorious sellishneesof its own people as an apology for spoliation. Italy may take our word for it that in Sicily and et Naples now, as in Northern and Central Italy last year, England desires nothing for herself but the goodwill of • self emancipated people. Great Britain, we take leave to affirm, is mis represented by those who, speaking in her name in 1860, as Lord CANTLERIAOIII might have spoken eve-and-forty years ago, presume to anticipate a time when " se shall be called upon to consider " who shall administer the government of Sicily," and when " it will be the business of stablemen to " consider the best means of settlingthe succession " to the kingdom of Naples." It were se easy to cancel half a century of time as to revive such a policy as this to-day. To talk of " three courses " being open to English statesmen, or to any states men, in the settlement of Southern Italy in 1860, is to talk like the ghost of •prfcie writer to the Congress of Vienna. There cannot be " three courses " open to any English statesman on such a question. There is only one ; and that is the course which we trust and believe the present Government of England is prepared to follow—the course of strict and abso hite non-intervention. Sicily for the teethe= ; Italy, whether Northern, Central, or Southern, for the Italians. That is the sum and substance of British policy in Italy. To swerve from it a hair's breadth were to renounce the prnciplee which fifty years' advancing civilisation have made our own ; and we are slow to believe that all the blind fury of Tory reaction raging at home will be able to reconstruel the system of the Foly Alliance abroad. The time, it may be, is coming when the principle of absolute non-intervention will be sharply tested. The interpretation it may then receive will probably decide the destinies of Eu rope for years to come. Peace and tranquillity, war and revolution, are in the balance. Which shall kick the beam? The course for English states men to pursue will certainly not be to back any quasi-liberal pretender to any throne in Italy. It will be rather in the sense of Mr. Jose STUART MILL'S admirable definition of the true doctrine of non intervention. That great thinker's words were never more worthy of the attention of English statesmen than at this moment. "The doctrine " of non-intervention," he writes, "to be a legiti " mate principle of morality must be accepted by " all governments. The despots must be bound " by it as well as the free states. Unless "they do, the profession of it by free countries "cone.% but to this miserable note, that the wrong "side may help the wrong, but the right must not "help the right. Intervention to enforce non " iiiteriention is always rightful, always moral, if " not always prudent. Though it be a mistake to " give freedom to a people who do not valise the " boon, it cannot but be right to insist that, d " they do value it, they shall not be hindered " from the pursuit of it by foreign coercion." is • • • " The first nation," continues Mr. Jon N STUART MILL, in a primp which deserves to be inscribed over the portals of the British Foreign-office, " w hy e being powerful enough to make Be votes " stectuaL has the spirit and courage to say that " nor a gun dial! he fired is Europe by (he tot " dices of caw Power oayaiwef eke reeolteti subjects " of moodier, will be the idol of the friends of " freedoms throughout Europe. That declaration " alone will ensure the almost imsasdiate ernanei " patios, of emery people which desires liberty " sufficiently to be capable of maintaining it ; and " the nation which gives the word will aeon find " itself at the head of an Aims* of free peetpies "so strong as to defy the efforts of any rounk* "of confederated despot& lo Wog it down. .tiss " prime is too glorious not to be enatclifid sooner " or later by some in* sounify; _and thiklinet may " not be far di s t an t telten England, if she does not " take this heroic part because of ifs heroism, will " be compelled to take it from oorwideration for her " own safety." LOAD FiILMOT sated the Cruxes:um( of the IXCEIQCNI last night whether he intended to remit mme tax equal in amount to the Excise on Paper, surrendered by the Ministers of the Crown, but retained as a public burden by the vote of the House of Lords. We are glad that Mr. Giro- Dross declined to anticipate the important deci sion which it will be the duty of the Government shortly to adopt by announcing any such inten tion. It is quite true, as Lord Pianos observed, that in consequence of the rejec tion of the Paper Duties Repeal Bill by the Lords, the people of England have to pay 1, 400, 0001. in taxes to which their representatives have not agreed-1,400,0001. in the very taxes which their representatives had condemned. But it is not for the Assembly which has just suffered a gross indignity to invite a repetition of the process. The House of Commons has been plainly told by the Lords that se it is not to be trusted with the duty of making provision for the public service, their Lordships will charge themselves with the duty of regulating the taxation of the empire. Where, then, would be the use of passing bills for the reduction of taxes on tea and sugar which their Lordships, after much high discourse, would cer tainly reject f Lord FIRMOY said that, "if the " right hon. gentleman (the CHANCILLOIL of the " Exeszoi - m) believed he was right, he ought to " give the House an opportunity of repealing this " taxation of 1,400,0001." But Mr. GLADVIVNE cannot give the House power to repeal a law of its own authority. He might have declined to send up to the Lords a Bill imposing a tenpenny Income Tax if be could have foreseen that the Lords would refuse to repeal the Paper Duty ; but if the House of Lords, making an unwonted use of its power, chooses to break faith with the House of Commons, there is no help for it in the direction suggested by Lord FICIIMOT. The Lower House, we are bound to suppose, will stand up for the rights of the Commons of England which have been entrusted to its defence. But if it has not the spirit to do thia, it should at least avoid perform ing the bidding of the Lords by actively remodel ling the taxation of the year, in deference to their Lordships' vote. The question now pending is how to uphold the rights of the representatives of the people against a House of privileged legislators. 1-i future years, after the warning of present experience, nothing will be easier than to guard against any attempted usurpation by the Peers. COI MMTE ON TAX BILLB—(PRICIDENTA Com m/num). —This committee met yeetteday, and appointed Hr. Walpole its chairman. Mr. Erskine Nay, one of the clerks of the House of Commons, produced • statement prepared from the Journals of both Houma of Parliament, to furnish information to the committee.

"IWO armistice still continues to be observed, and will mid on Sunday next at goon. The town of Agrigent has risen. A letter from Naples, of the 24th ult., in ; the Silcle, says :—" The Austrian squadron, undei the command of Commodore Wnllendorf, has arieved at Palermo. The court of Naples is furious against his apostolic Majesty. The Austrian squadron came first to Naples to place itself at the disposal of the King, in case he should be obliged to flyi and not to make a demonstration against the revolt. Tu quoque Brute ! Francis 11. has authorised General Laura to promise everything to the Sici lians, even the constitution of 1812, if they will lay down their arms." " Our accounts by letter from Sicily," says Golig nani, " are to the 24th ult. Fresh volunteers, as well as supplies of arms and ammunition, were ar riving every day. The number of muskets which have been introduced into the island from Genoa is estimated at 20,000. The land ing takes place on the southern and south western coasts of the island, which are favourable for such operations, as the shallowness of the water prevents the Neapolitan frigates from pursuing any suspected vessels. In order to remedy that disadvantage the Neapolitan go vernment is about to organise • division of gunboats to cruise between the islands of Le vanso, Favignano, and Marettimo, being the parts most frequented by Garibaldi's vessels. The towns of Messina, Catania, Syractue, and Girgenti are still tranquil, and faithful to the King. As soon, however, as the provisional government, which is to be established at Palermo, shall have come into operation, these places, with the exception of }famine, will most probably declare in favour of the insurrection. Messina is too strongly protected for the garrison to be overcome without assistance from the exterior, and cannot well be taken except by a regular siege, particularly as the possession of the seacoast gives its defenders great advan tage. All the resources of the Neapolitan government have been directed to this place, and fresh troops are being constantly sent there. As soon as Palermo shall have been taken possession of, a daily journal is to be pub lished, called the Official Journal of Palermo, which will publish all the acts and decrees of the insurrectional government. Rear-Admiral Count Porsano, who commands the Piedmontese naval division, and has his flag on board tho Maria Adelaide steam-frigate, will, it is said, establish the head-quarters of his squadron in that port."

According to the most recent explanations of Prince Gortchakoff to the great powers of Europe, Russia has only proposed the assembling of a congress on the subject of the situation of the Christians in the East, in case an inquiry should confirm the justice of the complaints against the Porte. The inquiry, as proposed by Russia, was to be conducted by the consuls of the great powers, with the aid of commissioners appointed by Turkey. The Porte having itself taken the initiative in the inquiry, by nominating three commissioners ad hoc, over each of which a member of the Ottoman cabinet presides, the great powers have agreed to await the result before entering into ulterior nego tiations on the Russian proposition. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (ROY OM OWN PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. Prince Jerome being somewhat better, the Emperor left Paris for Lyons, according to the arrangement announced, at 1 o'clock this morning. The Empress went with him, a fact oonside!ed very significant when it is remembered that two years ago the Empress of Russia declined to meat her. True, she is now only going to see the Empress Dowager ; but the visit is nevertheless a marked symptom of a better feeling between the two courts. Their Majesties are accompanied by General Fleury-, Colonel Fav4, and an orderly officer. They were received at the Lyons railway station by M. Dassier, the chairman of the company, and MM. Schneider and Audrd, directors, who have gone to Lyons in the imperial carriage. The train was to reach Lyons some few minutes before the arrival of the Dowager Empress. It is stated in the evening papers that their Majesties return to-morrow ; but there is a rumour that they may stop at Fontaine bleau. This must, however, necessarily depend upon the accounts of Prince Jerome's health. I hear that the first series of invitations to Fon tainebleau are out to-day, and that the date is June II ; the Austrian, Russian, and English ambassadors are comprised in this series. To-day the Moniker, for the first time, takes judicial notice of Garibaldi, and announces his en try into Palermo. It abstains from styling him "General," but this unavoidable recognition by the official journal of the great part which the honest hero is playing in the world marks • step in his history. lam told that despatches from M. Brenier inform his government that the news of Garibaldi's slimes has produced an immense sensa tion at Naples, but that all is quiet there. It is smarted, but I hesitate to credit the DOW; that the Emperor has sent Garibaldi twelve rifled masons, having now made up his mind to favour the revolutionary movement, but with the ultimata 'ablution of having a linger in the pie.

At two o'clock yesterday morning the patriotic feelings of the Genoese were gratified by the news that an official telegram had been received from Cagliari by Count Porro, the Governor-General of this city, announcing that Garibaldi had entered Palermo, and that part of its population had ri sen against the royal troops. This telegram had been sent by Captain D'Aste, of the Sardinian navy, who had left the Sicilian capital whilst the roar of cannon and the rattling of musketry were still going on. . _ o From what I can gather from Sicilian refugees and citizens of this town, it seems that the storm ing of Palermo was be g un by Garibaldi at four o'clock on Sunday morning. The Italian leader having coacentrated all the forces he had at his disposal on the northern side of the city during the preeed o mf ai jitht, he bo tow ldly ttack s es o l n hand st place i side of the royal palace. Although General Lanza had placed • strong body of troops to defend that important position, it was carried by Garibaldi's troops, after a tremendous struggle of two hours. Peperito once in the power of Garibaldi, the popu lation of Palermo, which crowds the lanes and street& of that locality, rose to a man, and began to throw flower peas, atones, furniture, anything they could lay hold of, upon the retiring columns of the Neapolitans. The royal vessels then opened their fire upon the town, and • shower of shells began to fall over it, a shower which lasted more than eight hours. The bombardment did not however pro duce any great effect on the population, and when the Sardinian steamer left Palermo three Neapolitan regiments had determined to join the ranks of tbo insurgents. It seems that Colonel Sirtori, the chief of Garibaldi's staff, was severely wounded in the bloody engagement of the 16th, and this is considered a great loss ; for Colonel Sirtori, and poor Colonel Nino Bixio whose death is now confirmed, were the two best officers of Garibaldi's army. By this time, per haps General Lanza has left Palermo in the hands of his illustrious adversary, for it is scarcely to be believed he could hold his ground in a city which numbers a population of 900,000 souls, who have de dared themselves for the national cause. Everything leads me, therefore, to believe that if Garibaldi has left room for retreat, the royal army, protected as it was by the guns of the fleet, will have reached Messina, the last bastion of Bourbon's domination in the Wand It is possible that Garibaldi may not have wished to prevent General Lanza either from embarking his troops, or from taking the cornice road which leads from Palermo to the above mentioned fortress. The Neapolitan navy is strong enough to have protected the retreat of the royal army, for we know that a sailing frigate of 80, two of 60, and one of 41 guns, were lying in the harbour of Palermo, together with five steam frigates, numbering sixty guns, and ten other minor vessels and gunboats. You see that under the protecting fire of 311 guns, and that of the fortress, the retreat may have been easily operated by the Neapolitan general. The advan tage gained by Garibaldi will throw the whole of the island into his hands, and with the resources he can draw from it he can easily mrry the war to the Neapolitan dominions on the main land. As was to be expected, the news from Sicily has redoubled the ardour of the Italian patriots, and all the exertions of the Genoese are now devoted to sending money and volunteers to Garibaldi. Six days ago a new expedition of about 500 Nea politan and Sicilian patriots left this city, eluding the vigilance of the Sardinian authorities, and started from a village of the Ligurian coast to wards the blood-stained island. I hear that a more numerous one will soon follow, and that funds drawn from the national subscription are arriving almost every day to the Sicilisu comm itt ee o f this city. PORTUGAL (nom OUR OWN LISBON, Mar 26. The King's father, Dom Fernando, goes to England en the 16th proximo on board the war steamer Mindello. I believe his Majesty intends to pay a visit to Prince George of Saxony, and assist at the baptism of his grand-daughter. The Portuguese government has received 20,000 Minig rifles, and has ordered, I believe, 20,000 besides. There is also a machine mounted at the arsenal for rifling cannon ; it is also known that the government has decidedly determined to for tify the country, and will commence by repairing the famous lines of Torres-Vedraa. These facts prove that Portugal is not asleep, and that the un settled state of affairs on the continent has at last induced this government to assume an attitude of defence. The Minister of the Interior has brought in a bill for abolishing the use of passports throughout Portugal ; the minister, however, does not go far enough, and ought to suppress or modify the ini quity of the charges upon travellers for entering and leaving Portugal under the present passport system. The expedition to Angola has not yet sailed, and there is a general outcry against the delay which has occurred-a delay which may seriously prJju dice the interests of Portugal in its African colo nies, and perhaps involve the loss of life and property. The vines as yet are looking very well, but it would be premature to predict respecting the coming vintage. A great many new vines have been planted, and when there is a cessation of the disease a large quantity of wine must be made. The Cortes have finally ratified the contract of Mr. Valentine, C.E., for the construction of the Southern Railway, au enterprise which may safely be considered as one of the most promising in the country. The traMc on the Eastern Railway has been in terrupted by a land slip ; fortunately no lives were lost, but it will take some time before the line can be put in working order. The bill for the admission of foreign brandy is before the Upper House. It is very necessary that this measure should go forward, for the country cannot produce spirit to fortify its wines.

Should a large proportion of the 120,000 volunteers enrolled in Britain subscribe, the sum collected would be a respectable one. This is DO question of granting aid or succour to insur gents.

VOLU LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock, and Barons Martin, Bramwell and Cliansell.) filifillAL BEAMON r. 11/LEVE -rAPORTABIT 1111=11110N. This was an action for shouter, tried last Hilary Term, before Mr. Baron Bramwell, wheu tie jury returned a %er diet for the defendant. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Kr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Gray were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Borill, Q.C., awl Yr. Garth were counsel for the defendant. The slander complained of was the speaking of certain words by the defendant, our consul at .tleppo, mtlecting on General Bernson's conduct as an officer and COMOIII3 ler of the Bashi Bazooka, and imputing to him that he ha I e n &avowed to induce the officers and men to mutiny in his favour and against the general officer who had been appointed by Lord Panmtue to super sede him in the command. The defendant was our civil commissioner attending General Vivian's corps, who directed General filth ley to report to him the state of General Beatson's troops, and at the same time he wrote to the defendant to give General Shirley such informa tion as he possessed with reference to it. The defendant accordingly wrote a letter containing the slander com plained of, and afterwards admitted its contents, and that he would take the responsibility attaching to it. It was ad. mitted that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict unless the defence set up was a valid one, viz., that it was a privileged communication. In the following term the plaintiff obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, which was subsequently argued, and upon which the court was then called to give judgment. The rule was obtained upon three grounds—first, that the learned judge declined to compel the production of certain documents; secondly, misdirec. tine ; and thirdly, that the verdict was against evidancel On the trial Mr. Baron Bramwell held that he was not bound to compel the Secretary of State for War to produce certain documents called for, which, if he were to, would be injurious to the public service. The court held in giving judgment this morning that as the Secretary for War personally attended and stated that in his opinion their production would be prejudicial to the public good, that the judge need not compel their production, but that if a subordinate was sent with documents on a trial with an order only to object to their production, as in the case of " Dickson v. the Earl of Wilton," the judge could make and compel the party so attending to produce theta. If in this ease the learned judge had compelled the production of the document., and an objection had been taken to it on the other aide, the court would have granted a new trial on the application of the defendant on the ground of the improper reception of evidence, becau,o seven of the letters referred to on the trial were written before the slanderous words said to have been spoken were uttered, and also that the notes of evidence taken before the Military Commissionem were not proved, and could not be received in evidence. With regard to the other points of misdirection, and that the verdict was against the weight of evidence, the court saw no ground for disturbing them, and therefor, the rule would be discharged. _ Mr. Baron Martin said he was not quite of opinion with the court on the broad principle with reference to the non-production of documents by the heads of public de- partments ; but in this case he was of opinion the learoal judge bad no right to order the production. Mr. Hawkins salted the court for leave to appeal against the decision. The court said they would consider that point. Rule fora new trail wait diathargel THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.)

I am informal that it has been stated in oiled your contemporaries that the child has liven sent to a refor. oratory, hut this I beg to state is not the fact. I have a firm belief myself in the innocence of the child, and I am one of those who think that, however public opinion may be our led for a time, it ultimately conics round to the side d truth and justice, and I have no doubt that eventually in this case the innocence of the child will be made appear.— I am, to., WALTER F.

THE SUICIDE AT PLYtforrn.—An inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the Guildhall. Plymouth, before Mr. John Ecimourle, the coroner for the borough, to inquire into the rireemstunces attending the death of Marl Anne Luke, who died on Wednesday evening from the injuries she sustained by jumping out of a window the pros ions afternoon. The case Miring been much talked of during the day, there was a very large crowd in and around the Guildhall. The hall itself was completely filled, as were also its approaches, and there were hundreds in the street who could not get in. When Thomas Luke, the father of the unfortunate girl, came into court, he was received with yells from the assem bled crowd. The " line" with which the girl was beaten was handed to the coroner. It was &pp:meetly a piece of clothes-line, about the thicket .a of • small huger. As it was exhibited • rear of execiation burst forth from the densely-crowded court. which the coroner appeased by re questing the crowd to desist from any exhibition of feeling, whatever their thought' might be. The jury returned the following verdict "That on the 27th day of May. in the year of our Lord 1860, the mkt Mary Ann Luke, having been severely beaten by her father, Thomas Lnko, of Plymouth, at No. 30, Union stniet, within the borough, became excited, and while labouring under tem porary derangement, jumped from tho bedroom window of her father's premises, and fell on the ;pound below, whereby her skull was fractured and bride hicendoil.
