TRE SUN, LONDON, MO \I AV EVENING, APRIL 14, 18631 SOUTHERN ITALY. The following official correspondence respecting Southern Italy was issued on Saturday : No. I.—CONS-UL BONHAM TO EARL RUSSELL.-- (RECEIVED JANUARY 29.) Naples, Jun. 14, 1862. My Lord,—l have the honour to report to your lordship that this country continues tranquil, and the prospects of commerce for the new year appear favourable. The produce of olive oil, the princi• pal and most valuable export from these provinces, is a.eertained to have been generally extremely abundant and of good quality. There some discon tent that the duty on the exportation of this oil from the Neapolitan provinces is retained, as in other parts of Italy olive oil is not subject to such export duty, but the impost is of old date, and the revenue from it is so large that it has probably been found unadvisable to give it up at once. A change is being now made in the currency in Naples and the provinces by the substitution of lire for the old Neapolitan currency of ducats and grand. This, of course, occasions some temporary inconvenience, which unfortunately is aggravated by the circumstance that the Bank is not sufficiently supplied with silver coin, and pays dividends, &e., in gold 20-franc pieces at a fixed rate, although gold is not yet made a legal tender, and is not readily current at the same rate. A petition from the mercantile body on this subject has been sent to Turin, and it may be supposed that gold will be made a legal tender here as it is in other parts of Italy.—l have, &c., (Signed) EDWARD WALTER BONHAM. No. 2.—CONSUL BONHAM TO EARL RUSSELL.-- (RECEIVED FEBRUARY 25.) Naples, February 10, 1862. My Lord,—l have the honour to report to your lordship that a demonstration took place here yes terday directed against the temporal power of the Pope. About 3,000 people assembled in the fore noon in the Palace-square with flags, and preceded thence, in two divisions, to perambulate the city, shouting " viva Vittorio Emmanuele !" " Abase° it Papa-Re !" " Viva Garibaldi and similar cries. The weather was very unpropitious for any pro ceedings of the kind, violent and most heavy showers of rain succeeding each other at short in tervals throughout the day; and though a consi derable number of people were sufficiently enthusi astic to continue for hours to bear patiently the drenching rain to which they were exposed, the demonstration did not assume the proportions it would otherwise undoubtedly have done. One division of the procession, including a great number of well-dressed people and priests and monks, stopped in passing opposite the French consulate, and also opposite this consulate, cheering the re spective countries, and vociferating strenuously, " Viva Vittorio Emmanuele in Campidoglia I" &c. The other division, including, I presume, a large proportion of the Nicoterists, or party of action, whose discontent at the continued occupation of Rome by French troops is more openly declared, passed up the Toledo, tearing down or effacing every placard on which appeared the words "Viva l'lmperatore de' Francesi," of which a number had been stuck up in the course of the morning. I enclose a report of the proceedings from one of the evening journals. All passed off without inter ference on the part of the Government, and without any serious disturbance. There can be no doubt the feeling of this people is daily becoming more and more hostile to the Pope, whom they are learning to look upon as the chief opponont of the settlement and tranquillity of the country. In September, 1860, Padra Gavazzi first preached in the Palace-square in this city against the Pope King, and his remarks were received with applause ; since that time the feeling then aroused has continued to gain strength, and the supporters of the temporal power have greatly diminished. Nothing could be so detrimental to the influence of the Papecy, whether in its spiritual or temporal character, as being constantly quoted and looked upon as the one principal obstacle to the prosperity and consolidation of Italy.—l have, &c., (Signed) EDW. WALTER BONIIAM. Inclosnre in No. 2. Extract from a Neapolitan Newspaper. (Translation.) As we had already announced yesterday, this morning an imposing demonstration against the temporal paver of the Popes, and that Rome might return to Italy as its capital, took place. From the early morning all the Toledo was adorned with flags bearing inscriptions alluding to the circumstance. Although the weather was cold and rainy, Toledo was also crowded by people. About mid-day the demonstration, composed of all classes of citizens, divided itself into two sections; a very numerous one with flags at its head traversed the Toledo; the other, much larger, went to the house of the French Consul. It was an imposing spectacle, and contrasted strangely with the asser tions of Cardinal Antonelli relative to the senti- ments of the Italian people. Here were not a few individuals, but an immense crowd composed of every class, of every rank, of persons, without exception ; the Liberal clergy figured everywhere. In the section which traversed the Toledo the following inscriptions were legible on a great na tional flag ; " Long live the Pope !" " Down with the temporal power!" "Long live Victor Em manuel IL in the Campidogliol" "Long live Gari baldi !" in addition to which other papers were seen affixed to the walls of the Toledo, and OR the Rags which flew about from the houses with these words: " Long live the Pope not King !" " Long live Italy with its King in the Campidoglio !" "Long live France with its Emperor !" That portion of the demonstration which went to the French Consul- General's house, and which was, we must say, the greatest portion, had also its flags with the same inscriptions; but traversed with a band at its head the entire Toledo, and stopped at the square of the Plebiscite before the Foresteria Palace; there the usual cheers, the same acclamations, but the prefect not appearing at the balcony the crowd went to wards St. Lucia and stopped under the windows of the French Consulate. To the reiterated cries of " Long live the Emperor !" "Long live France !" " Long live the French people r " Lang live Victor Emmanuel in the capital!" "Down with the Pope King !" The French Consul appeared at the win dow to thank the people. As the crowd stopped there some time shouting, so the consul courteously went oat on tile balcony many times also with his . :d After the manifestation at the French Consulate h terminated, the crowd also went to the house of the British Consul. There were also clamorous . ~d , it continuous cries of " Long live England !"

Turin, Feb. 22, 1862. I have good ground for believing that brigandage la now being organised under the authority of the ex - "Kieg of Naples and the patronage of the Court of Rome for operations on a large and bloody scale during the approaching spring. It is my duty to bring this question under the serious consideration of her Majesty's Government, because, if brigandage is once more to be organised and tolerated, it must, from the sheer fcrce of cir cumstances, place the Italian Government between two fires ; the one, the strength which it will infuse into the ranks of the " party of a:A:on," as it is designated, in other words the Mazz nians ; the other, the necessity which this Government will be under of maintaining its, authority at the risk of civil war ; because we must expect to hear the Mazzinians cry treason on Ricasoli if he puts the law in force against Mazzini on a question upon which every city in Italy has recently pronounced itself. Brigandage, therefore, if again permitted to make Rome its head-quarters, may force this Government to adopt a forward movement, and that movement may light the flames of discord throughout Europe. No. 4.—SIR J. HUDSON TO EARL RUSSELL. — (RECEIVED FEB. 25.) Turin, Feb. 22, 1862. My Lord,—With reference to my preceding de spatch of this date, upon the subject of the reorgani sation of brigandage at Rome, I have the honour to call your lordship's attention to the enclosed copy and translation of a species of proclamation of General Garibaldi to the patriotic " associations" of Italy, by which they are invited to send delegates to Genoa ; and in which they are reminded of the programme which led them to Palermo. This address is simply to decide upon another programme which shall lead them to Rome, for that, if we are to judge by passing events, is the subject which engrosses the public mind in Italy. If, when thew delegates meet, they understand that brigandage is upon the point of recommencing its operations, with its basis at Rome, we may, we must, expect a very serious demonstration. It is suggested that this meeting be prevented by authority. Apart from the faculty of public meetings granted within certain limits by the constitution it is clear that were this Government to adopt that course it would simply exasperate and not meet the neces sities and exigencies of the situation ; because, in stead of speaking only, these delegates would con spire in secret, and this Government might then find isself constrained to have resort to some of the machinery of despotic authority which has always broken down in Italy. The danger, then, is not in the meeting, but in the great political fact of the continued cccupation of Rome by foreign troops, when the necessity for that occupation has absolutely ceased; and this danger will be by so much the more augmented by the fact that brigandage, which has cost the lives of many an honest conscript and good soldier, which has widowed some and beggared others, which is a heavy pull upon the public purse, and is the more detested because it would be suppressed if it were not covered by the presence of foreigners, and concocted and carried on by foreigners, and composed mainly of the scum of foreign society, is once more restored, reorganised, and flourishing in that very city which the entire Italian nation claims as their common capital.—l have, &c., (Signed) JAMES HUDSON. Inclosure in No. 4. Proclamation. (Translation.) Caprera, Feb. 17, 1862. To the committees for supplies, the whole of the patriotic associations of Italy, The meeting of the 9th March next may become pregnant with excellent results, if all the Liberal associations of Italy are represented there. I am therefore of opinion that they should be represented there. Convinced as I am that the acts of the meeting will be worthy of the practical judgment which dis tinguishes Italians, and that its conclusions will respond to the legitimate expectations of the earnest friends of liberty, and to the wants of our country, I abstain from giving advice. With the same pro gramme which led us to Palermo and to Naples, and with the high principles of the " plebiscito" of the 21st of October, 1860, the Italian revolution may have a glorious consummation. Were it not for private circumstances which prevent me, I should myself be at Genoa on the 9th of March. In lieu thereof, I shall await at Caprera a result of which I may boast as an Italian. Health and fraternity. (Signed) G. GARIBALDI. No. S.—CONSUL BONHAM TO EARL RTJSSELL.— (RECEIVED MARCH 1.) Naples, Feb. 25, 1862. My Lord,—l have the honour to report to your lordship that accounts having appeared in the papers stating that a numerous band of brigands or adven turers, organised in the Roman territory, had re cently appeared in the vicinity of Terracina, render the roads near the frontier insecure, and watching apparently a favourable moment for an incursion into this territory, I took an opportunity yesterday of inquiring from Col. Farriola, chief of the staff of his Excellency General la Marmora, as to the cor rectness of the report. Col. Farriola told me it was true, but that his last accounts reported the band had gone off in the direction of Frosinone. He seemed to entertain no doubt that as irruption on a large scale would shortly be made into this ter ritory. He further said the Government had Bour bon agents at Marseilles, at Barcelona, and also at Malta, to embark a certain number of adventurers for a landing in this country. He added that the Government were well prepared, that the accounts from the provinces were very favourable, the gene ral state of feeling good, and if those adventurers be n did actually venture on l an di ng th ey wou ld meet with support, but a tr u c e o v m i eewt of o the certain case,an d th destruction. ata I believe e th is is landing now would have,if possible, even less chance of success than that effected by General Boles in September last. The number of Neapolitans enrolled in the army in North Italy is considerable. Of these many have now come down with or to join their regiments in these provinces, and the favourable account they give of their new service has produced a very good effect, and tended greatly to remove the prejudice against North Italy which the ill-disposed were and are constantly endeavouring to instil into the minds of the peasantry.—l have, &c., (Signed) EDw. WALTER BONHAM. No. 6.—SIR J. HUDSON TO EARL RUSSELL.— (RECIVED MARCH 4.) Turin, Feb. 28, 1862. My Lord,—ln reply to the inquiry which, by your lordship's commands, I have made of Baron Ricasoli, whether the order of Colonel Fantoni, at Lucera, to which the Earl of Derby has alluded in the House of Lords is genuine,,l have the honour to state that Baron Ricasoli informs me that it was published without the consent of the superior mili tary authority, by whom its suppression was imme diately ordered. (Signed) JAMES HUDSON. No. 7. CONSUL BONHAM TO EARL RUSSELL.—(RE- CEIVED MARCH 13.) Naples, March 6, 1862. My Lard,--I have the honour to report to your lordship that having seen in the Times of the 26th February, a report of a conversation in the House of Lords relative to a proclamation issued in these provinces, of which I had not previously heard, I called on General La Marmora to ask some informa tion about it. His excellency told me that the first he heard of it was an inquiry by telegraph from Turin respecting a proclamation said to have been issued by a Gen. Fantoni, there being no general of that name in the service. He at once proceeded, however, to investigate the matter, and found that a Major Fantoni, commanding a battalion, had, in effect, drawn up such a proclamation, end had it printed in Lucera. Having then submitted it to t a h t e general commanding the district, that of f icer pc rson, h o w eve disapproved and disavowed it; it was set ° a n s - c , and n o t ac t e d u p on in any way. Some having obtained a copy, sent it, it would appear. tr , 0 the journal Ay monia, at Turin, in which it was_ published. His excellency added that he had co mmuni agog cated all this by telegraph to T ur in some day s doubtless your lordship has been already infor med her Ma esty 's Envo y the circumstance by j Turin. I, however, write to state to your lordship that his proclamation was n ot published either in the °l3l or o \a: that y its other journal in these prov in c es, until n pu blication in the Armonia having attracted atten tion in England, it has been copied into the journal called the Popolo dltalia.—l have, &c., (Signed) EDW. - WALTER BONHAM. No. B.—CONSUL BONHAM TO EARL RUSSELL. (RECEIVED MARCH 13.) Naples, March 7, 1862. My Loid,—l have the honour to inform your lordship that the Vice-Consul at Brindisi reports the reappearance of brigands in that neighbour hood. Bands of marauders are also spoken of as having made their appearance in other districts. I asked General La Marmora, yesterday, what truth there was in these reports, His excellency stated that bands had appeared in some places, but in small numbers. He added that brigandage in this country is an affair of old date, and it is useless to flatter ourselves that it can be suppressed all at once. Until we improve our internal communications by the construction of railroads and of common roads, and have an effi cient and properly organised force of carabinieri in the country we cannot hope wholly to eradicate it. But these brigands are mere marauders, and not in any way formidable or important as to numbers. His excellency also stated that there had as yet been no disembarkation of adventurers from abroad. —I have, &c., (Signed) EDW. WALTER BONHAM. NO. 9.--CONSUL BONHAM TO EARL RUSSELL. (RECEIVED MARCH 25.) Naples, March 19, 1862. My Lord,—l have the honour to report to your lordship that I this day received a letter from Co senza, signed Baron Antonio Valerio, containing what purports to be copy of a proclamation issued by Major Fumel in that neighbourhood, I enclose copy and translation of that document. Immediately I received it I called on his Excel lency General La Marmora, and showed it to him. His excellency told me he had not previously seen seen it, and had only heard of its existence by the mention of the subject in the House of Commons. He read it, as every one must do, with indignation and disgust. He said that Major Fumel is not in or belonging to the army, and he (the general) has nothing to do with him, and does not understand by what authority he is acting. He asked me to let him have a copy of the proclamation, which I of course gave him, and he called Col. Farriola, chief of the staff, and desired him to send off a telegram at once to the Prefect of Calabria to know on whose authority this proclamation, which has excited the natural indignation of foreign nations, had been is sued. His excellency promised to send me copy of the prefect's reply, which, as soon as I receive it, I will transmit to your lordship. I also enclose copy and translation of Baron Va lerio's letter. lam not acquainted with the writer, and cannot doubt his statements are exaggerated. That men may have been shot at the places named is possible, but I do not believe that any Northern Italian would be guilty of shooting a woman under the circumstances stated. It is, I trust, needless for me to add that the rea son I did not sooner send a copy of the document to your lordship is that I did not possess it, nor was any one in this city cognisant of its existence. The copy that I received is the first that had come to Naples. Doubtless the utmost exasperation exists on the part of the troops towards the brigands ; it cannot be otherwise. The latter put to death with exces sive cruelty any one of the troops who has the mis fortune to fall into their power—cut off the musta chios and chin-tufts of their victims, and wear them as ornaments in their hats. Having such trophies it is not possible to suppose they can expect or re ceive quarter when they on their parts, fall into the hands of the troops. General La Marmora further stated to me that a captain and 19 men of a company of infantry at Lucera, near Foggia, having separated from the rest of the company when marching in that neighbour hood yesterday, were overpowered, and all massa cred by brigands. Their bodies were subsequently found by their companions stripped and horribly mutilated.—l have, &c., (Signed) EDW. WALTER BONHAM. Enclosure 1 in No. 9. Notice to the Public. (Translation.) The undersigned, charged with the destruction of brigandage, promises a reward of 100 f. for every brigand, alive or dead, who may be brought to him. This reward shall be given to any brigand who shall kill his companion ; moreover, his own life will be spared. In defiance of this, those who may give shelter or any means of subsistence or support to brigands, or seeing them or knowing the place where they have taken refuge, do not give informa tion to the force and to the civil and military au thorities, will be immediately shot. For the custody of animals, it will be well that they should be brought into several central spots, with a sufficient armed force, because it will not be of use without a considerable force. All straw huts must be burnt ; the towers and country houses which are not inhabited and guarded by a force must be, within the space of the three days, unroofed and their entrances bricked up. After the expira tion of that time thgy will, without fail, be burnt, as also all animals which are not in proper custody will be killed. It is prohibited to carry bread or any kind of provisions beyond the habitations of the communes, and whoever contravenes this will be considered an accomplice of the brigands. Provisionally, and for this circumstance, the syn dics are authorised to grant permission to carry arms under the strict responsibility of the proprietor who shall make the request. Shooting as sport is also provisionally forbidden, and therefore no one may fire off a gun expect to give notice to the armed posts of the presence of brigands, or else of their flight. The national guard is responsible for the terri tory of their own commune. The undersigned does not mean to recognise, under present circumstances, but two parties—bri gands and anti-brigands; therefore he will class amongst the first those who are indifferent, and against these he will take energetic measures, for when the general necessity demands it is a crime to refuse. The disbanded soldiers who do not present them selves within the space of four days will be consi dered brigands. (Signed) The Major, S. FUMEL. Celico, March 1, 1862. Inclosure 2 in No. 9. BARON VALERTO TO CONSUL BONHAM. (Lranslation.) Casenza, :March 12, 1862. Sir,—Lord Derby asked explanations from the English Government respecting the manifesto pub lished in the unfortunate Capitanata by the Pied monteso Fantoni, and received the assurance that the Government of Turin would act with humanity. Let the English Government know that Piedmont, not to allow to escape through her fingers the prey which, by treasons and infamies, she has seized, adds to cruelty insult, and whilst she gives the assurance that she will act with humanity, permits that in Calabria an adventurer, a certain Fame], comes here as organiser of the National Guards, which he has not organised, because no one would know him, having abandoned that mission, has taken upon him self to pass through these districts, subjecting them to sack, fire, and ruin. _ _ And that all may be convinced of this cruelty let them read the following proclamation. _ . Neither is Fumel a man not to keep his word, in asmuch as at Bisignano he shot nine persons, after they had voluntarily presented themselves ; in Acri, two others ; in Corigliano an old womc ,n, because she did not produce her daughter, who had. gone off with a brigand; in Longobucco four others;; in Crucoli six, and so on in other places—burning and de stroying all the country houses, huts, and shelters for man and animals, and imprison:ing as many people as fell into his hands.

Naples, March 21, 1862. My Lord,—l have the honour to report to your lordship that, having seen in the Times of the 15th March a report of an inquiry made in the House of Commons by Sir George Bowyer to the First Lord of the Treasury as to whether her Majesty's Go vernment had received information that, whilst the body of the deceased Archbishop of Amalfi was lying in state in the cathedral of that town, and whilst the funeral service was being chanted by the clergy, a party of revolutionists rushed into the church with drawn daggers, and repeatedly stabbed the corpse of the prelate, I lost no time in making inquiries on the subject. I can inform your lordship, with entire confidence, that no such atrocious occurrence took place. What did occur was as follows : Domenico Ventura, Archbishop of Amalfi, died, in Naples, on or about the 11th of February. The body was taken to Amalfi for interment. The usual religious ceremonies having been duly per formed, the authorities required that, according to the existing law, which prohibits interment in churches, the body shall be deposited in the Campo Santo, instead of in a vault in the cathedral, where heretofore it had been the custom to deposit the bodies of deceased bishops. Upon this a commo tion took place amongst the population of Amalfi, especially amongst the women, who, carrying their wooden slippers, assembled in great numbers at the cathedral and insisted on the old custom being ad hered to. No regular troops are stationed at Amalfi. The national guard, amongst whom lam told there are but twelve muskets, could not quell the disturbance. The authorities yielded, and the corpse was placed in a vault in a cathedral. A day or two after the occurrence, Signor Zoppi, Prefect of Principatro Citra, hearing what had taken place, sent a company of regulars from Salerno, and in their presence the coffin containing the corpse of the Archbishop was removed from the vault in the cathedral and deposited in the Campo Santo without any further disturbance. Such are the real facts of the case. As I have taken this account principally from letters which have been shown me, written by per sons having strong reactionary tendencies, I am quite sure that nothing that could be stated against the present Government has been omitted. I have written to the Vice-Consul at Salerno for a report of the case, but being satisfied of the correctness of the above particulars, I do not delay sending them. As to the further report, that an expectation existed in Naples that the tombs of the former royal family in the church of Santa Chiara were likely to be violated, I am unable to trace any foundation whatever for that report. I have, unfortunately, not been able to-day to find the Brazilian Consul- General, but I have spoken to several of my col leagues, no one of whom had heard of such an unexpected occurrence any more than I had. I have seen the Civil Prefect, M. Visone, and the Secretary of the Questor of the Police; they assure me that they have never heard one word on the subject ; that no communication has been received by them from the Brazilian Consul or Minister relative to the protection of the tombs of the children of the Princess of Aquila; that there has never been the slightest reason to suppose there was danger of their being violated, and that they are utterly unable to devise how such a report can have originated.—l have, &c., (Signed) EDW. WALTER. BONHAM. No. 12.—SIR J. HUDSON TO EARL RUSSELL.. --• (RECEIVED APRIL 1.) (Extract.) Turin, March 29, 1862. I have the honour to inform your lordship that I have been told on good authority that Prince Petrulla, who for some time past has been organis ing an expedition at Trieste to land in the Neapoli tan provinces, has now ordered a quantity of red Garibaldi shirts and other equipments in imitation of Garibaldi's volunteers, for the purpose of dressing his recruits in them, and so mystifying the popula tion wherever they may land. No. 13.—CONSUL BONHAM TO EARL RUSSELL.— (RECEIVED APRIL 2.) (Extract.) Naples, March 27, 1862. I have the honour to report to your lordship that Colonel Brianza of the Bth regiment infantry sta tioned in the Capitanata, at whose suggestion it would appear the proclamation recently issued by Major Fantoni at Lucera, in that province, was drawn up, has been placed en disponibtlite. I here with enclose copy and translation of the order of the day issued by him on leaving his command. This dismissal is bitterly commented on in some of the journals, and it is assumed that many persons in England view the system of brigandage with a favourable eye. It is also alleged that active assist ance is being afforded by the British flag in the transport of adventurers to land on these shores. The Gazzettino di Napoli, of 25th istant, says . " As it is well known, reaction is trying a last effort and again raises its head. At Rome hands are being organised militarily, which, embarked in ships under the British flag, arc trying to effect a disem barkation on the coasts of Puglia and Bari. It would appear that communications exist with the brigands in the interior, as those under the orders of Croceo are approaching the shores of the Adri atic, committing the usual excesses." It is probable this assertion as to English ships is not true, but it produces an unpleasant feeling. As to the character of these excesses committed in the Capitanata, they are atrocious. The following de tail I learn from the statement of a gentleman who returned to Naples a few days since, having been plundered by the band of the said Croceo, near Feggia. I know no reason to doubt the truth of his statement, which is as follows ;—" I left Bari; the road being considered unsafe, two diligence, having together fourteen passengers, travelled in company. On 14th March we were stopped by a large body in the Valley of Bovino. Amongst the passengers were a lady, an old sergeant of vete rans, a police officer, and a monk ; the others were private travellers. We were taken some miles into the forest, where the large body of brigands were assembled—these numbered about 100, all young men, dressed as peasants, not at all as soldiers ; two appeared to act as chiefs, one of whom was called Schiavone, a man about 35 or 36 years old, the other Crocco, a man of about 22 or 23. We were were stripped of our money and clothes, the lady's earrings were also taken, .the sergeant was then shot, the policeman was bound and thrown amongst a heap of faggots, which were set on fire, and he was burnt; the rest of us remained for some time in extreme terror, ,not knowing what would be our fate—finally, one of the chiefs ordered that we should be let go, end we were released accord ingly, found our way to Ariano, and thence to Naples. I have to-day seen a telegram reporting the burning alive of a priest by the same band of Croceo, near Ascoli, which is also in the neigh bourhood of Bovino." Another General is appointed to command in place of General Dedda. Inclosure in No. 13. Order of the Day by Colonel Brianza. Officers, Non commissioned Officers, and Sol diers !—ln accordance with the political authori ties, I gave orders to my Lieutenant-Colonel, the Cavalier Fantoni, to proclaim rigorous measures, so as to obtain, if not the total destruction of bri gandage, at least to diminish the devastation and bloodshed caused by it in these fair and unhappy countries. The Government of the King has found this my proclamation, perhaps, not altogether opportune under actual contingencies, and, consequently, has decided on my dismissal. This sovereign decision, as regards me, has deeply grieved my heart, as it obliges me separate myself from you, who, during the two years I have been your commander, have given me no doubtful proofs of discipline and courage ; it suffices to call to mind the death which has just now befallen eighteen of your comrades commanded by the brave Cap tain Richard, who, rather than lay down their arms to these assassins, about 140 in number, preferred to defend Italian honour to the last drop of their blood. Four of these unfortunates were Neapolitans, and on this day, in taking leave of you, I am happy to be able to offer a tribute of praise also to you, soldiers of Southern Italy, who in good conduct observed,' and valour shown, have rendered yourselves worthy to fight by the size of your fellow-soldiers of Palestro and San Martino. At the moment of leaving you, I consider myself again obliged to recommend to your ardent and constant discipline, such as I know you have hitherto maintained. It rejoices my heart to know you severed from my old feeling of municipalism (provincialism), and that you hold it an honour to be an Italian. I have no doubt whatever that when the occasion shall present itself for you to measure yourselves with the enemy you will know how to add fresh laurels to those already gained, thus rewarding the care of, the new commander who may be chosen to lead you, and of the Government of the King, who expects from the army the accom plishment of the grand work—unification of Italy. Viva it Re I Viva Melia. ! Foggia, March 22, 1862. The Colonel (Signed) E. BRIANZI. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The Exhibition is now no doubt making rapid progress towards completion, but putting it into order seems a more than Augean labour, for some how the more that is done the more there seems to remain to do. An enormous number of cases have been added to the mass since our last notice, but during the same brief interval apparently not 20 additional cases have been unpacked. In fact, pack ing cases and how to get them out of the building are just now becoming most formidable difficulties, and if exhibitors don't move in the matter the Com missioners will have to remove the cases whether full or empty. It must be remembered that when Sundays, Good Friday, Easter Monday, and the Saturday half-holidays are deducted, there will be found no more than 12 working-days between this date and the opening on the Ist of May, and if any exhibitor thinks that the opening can properly take place without the most strenuous exertions of all concerned, we would advise him to go and look at the building in its present state. An enormous amount of work remains to be done by the exhibitors themselves. The British are now confessedly:ahead of their foreign competitors, but, unless they make further exertions, they will only be ahead, and by no means quite ready. The executive staff and the contractors have worked with such unremitting diligence that their portion of the undertaking is almost complete, and it is due to their efforts, as well as to the public and our national reputation, that there should be no shortcoming on our side on the day of opening. The orchestra is more than half-finished already and when quite complete, it will form no inconsi derable ornament to the building. In the front of it, Minton's great fountain is being erected, one of the finest works of Majolica pottery ever executed in any country. Many of the side courts, too, are getting up their partitions draped with various colours, so that even now the glowing tints come out strongly, and foreshadow what a grand effect the whole will have when finished. The English side of the nave is already half full of trophies, but in these as in other matters the foreigners are very backward. Somewhere in the English part of the nave the Koh-i-noor is to be fixed. This great jewel is exhibited by her Majesty, who also sends a fine collection of rough rubies from Lahore, a silver table-fountain by Garrard, and some fine silver vases of Vechtes, manufactured by Hunt and Roskell. Her Majesty has also consented that her magnificent dessert service, which during the last two or three years has been in course of manufacture at the Worcester Porcelain Works, may be shown by Messrs. Kerr and Binns, the manufacturers. This work, which it is said has eclipsed the very finest specimens of the kind that Swires, Dresden, or Vienna, has yet produced will be shown by itself as a trophy in the nave, and in the porcelain world the liveliest interest is evinced to learn with what feeliggs foreigners will regard the grand service and Minton's fountain, our great chef d'ceuvres of ceramic manufacture. Near this trophy will be another equally fine and important in its way, that of Messrs. Elkington. This will also be one of the most beautiful in the building. The whole form of the substructure is good, and the bronze figures which are to surmount it are noble and impressive. In another part of the nave Mr. Earp is erecting a design for a large drinking foun tain in carved stone and coloured marbles, which pro mises, when finished, to come out remarkably well. Near this fountain, but on the opposite side, the great Norwich gates of Barnard and Bishop have been erected, and, though not yet finished, they are already exciting general admiration. For the most elaborate perfection of wrought-iron workmanship nothing finer has been produced in this country. These gates, with the exquisitely cast gates of the Falkirk Company, and the Hereford rood screen, will be, in their cltrsses, the manufacturing chefs (rccuvre of the Exhibition. We continue our notice of the chief objects ex pected in the various classes with those under the superintendence of Mr. J. Leighton, F.S.A. These are classes 15, 28, and 38 A, and include paper and paper-making materials, printing in all its branches, from ordinary types to lithograph, and chromo-lithography, bookbinding, clocks and watches, and art designs for manufactures. The show of paper in this class will not be very exten sive from the mere manufacturers, though there will be a very good exhibition of what is called " half stuff,"—that is, paper made from various vegetable substances, such as straw, esparto fibre, &C. The capabilities of paper for the most durable articles will be exemplified by M. Szerelmy's exhibition of paper water-proof pipes, boards, 84c. Mr. Saunders will show a very curious display of wire and water marked papers, which are valuable as a security against the forgery of banknotes, and are interest ing also from their highly artistic character, almost equalling, when held up to the light, the embossed porcelain pictures we see suspended in windows. Printing in all its various branches will be shown, except in that most important one of all which mi nisters so much to the instruction and amusement of all England—that process, by which the thought and eloquence of the kingdom are embodied in a few hours and sent forth in the form of a daily news paper by hundreds and thousands before daylight, It would require a very large court indeed—more, in fact, than ten times the whole space that is given to this class, to show the various processes which even a paper of small circulation has to pass through before its sheets are submitted to the public. Iu this , .~- class will he exhibited specimens of printing types from all the chief type founders, Easton, Figgins, Besley, Miller and Richard, &e. For good clear cast and very durable type no country has a higher reputation than En;land, but, on the other hand, all relating to the decorative parts of the art ranks almost as low in the cultivated judgment of our continental neighbours. None of our printers' ornaments will stand comparison with those put forth in the exquisite pastern books of Paris or Vienna. Bagster will show specimens of his fine polyglot Bibles ; and Eyro and Spot tiswoode also show various forms as to type and size of their Bibles, all of which are good. Oxford and Cambridge, the other possessors of the Bible printing patent, show no Bibles. It is singular that this patent, which was once a lucrative mo nopoly, has been reduced by competition between the various holders of the patent till the common English Bible is now a perfect marvel of cheap typography—for its low price the largest and best printed book in the work. In printing surfaces the Electro-block Company will show their most inge nious, if not widely-useful process of enlarging and reducing blocks. This, with W. J. Linton's kero graphic process and Mr. Wallis's new art of auto• typography, will illustrate one among the very many attempts to effect that long, long, long-sought desideratum—an effective metallic relief produced without engraving. The makers of the banknote paper and printers of the banknotes for the Bank of England show some valuable and interesting specimens of note paper, banknotes, stamps, &c. Bradbury and Wilkinson exhibit minute engrav ings for the prevention of forgeries in notes, and the exquisite specimens of the nature printed books produced by the late Henry Bradbury will also be shown—an honour to any country. In chromo lithography, or the very modern art of re-producing water-colour drawings, with almost the fineness of tint and delicacy of colouring of the drawings themselves, England stands unrivalled. As it is with the original, so with the copies, and in this important branch of art, literally created since 1851, this country will have no competitors. Messrs. Hanhart, Day and Sons, Brooks, &c., have all, we are glad to say, ample spaces, which will be beau tifully filled with their best specimens of chromo lithography. Stone prints and wood engravings are now running a close race together, and the steam press, if not yet quite exceeding the hand litho graphic process, is fast approaching it, and such firms as Leighton Brothers are already accomplish ing wonders. In this class of printing the London publishers will show together in a very large case, exhibiting the chief works of Longman, Murray, Bradbury and Evans, Smith and Elder, &c. In the sub-class of stationary will be shown a formi dable collection of ledger and account books by the first makers, with Letts's diaries, the pencils of Brookman and Langdon, and Mordan's pencils and appliances. In this section will also be exhibited some beautiful specimens of the seal engraver's art, from the masterpiece of Wyon down to simple letter punches. Here, among them, will be the Great Seal of England—if not the finest, beyond all doubt the most important of all Wyon's works. In bookbinding the extra bookbinders will show a very fine collection, especially in the most elaborate kinds of hand-tooled wprks. In publishers' works in the neat cloth binding which is so pecu liarly our own that it is known abroad under the title of toile Anglais we shall stand unrivalled. Both for design and rapid execution of this work Bond, Leighton, Hodge, and Westleys will hold their own against all corners. How everything has changed since Murray first startled the trade with his small edition of Byron in this style of binding with its little gold label on the cover ! Now every work is expected as a matter of course to come forth by thousands •from the publishers in its gold and crimson or purple or blue covers. The designs of Owen Jones " Luke Limner," and others have within a few short years worked a complete revolu tion in this branch of art manufacture, and every Christmas we as regularly look for the exquisitely elaborated annuals as we do for the new edition of the Directory. Not that this kind of decoration has lately been free from faults as showing a strong ten dency to degenerate into th© flaunty colours of the plum-box style of art, but in the main this class of decorative publication has done an immense amount of good. Class 15, including horology and horo logical instruments, is also under Mr. Leighton's care, though why her Majesty's Commissioners should have given this scientific manufacture to an artist no one knows. Perhaps they are follow ing the same rule as in 1851, when Leslie the painter was appointed a juror in this same class. In this department, as a matter of course, the English are very strong indeed, for, to the present hour, a really well made Clerkenwell watch has no superior in the world. After Clerkenwell, but at some distance, come the watches of Coventry, and last of all, the prettiest and cheapest, but much inferior, watches of Switzerland, the works of which it has lately become a habit, we are sorry to say, to mix up with English works and sell as entire Clerkenwell or Coventry made watches. In this class all the great watch and clock manufacturers of England will show their masterpieces of work manship. There will be reversible chronometers, steam clocks, marine chronometers, astronomical clocks, geographical clocks, silent clocks, skeleton clocks, Liliputian alarm clocks, electro-magnetic clocks, keyless watches, electric clocks, mercurial timepieces, clocks showing mean time and longitude at important places, with galvano-magnetic clocks, and gold and silver watches of every description. Belonging to this class, though shown in another part of the building, will be a very beautiful chim ing clock by Dent. Benson is also erecting on solid foundations a very beautiful chiming clock, with a peal of bells, &c., and Bennett has a large clock, surmounted with a timeball and figure of Victory. This last work will be in communication with Greenwich, so that the timeball will be discharged at noon to the fraction of a second. Mr. Frodsham shows a very fine eollection of watches and chrono meters, and Rotherhams, of Coventry, will exhibit in a beautiful case manufactured for them by the Skidmore Company. In Class 38A there will be a very beautiful collection of arts, designs for manu factures—the first great exhibition of its kind that has been brought together in England. This will include, among other beautiful works, Wedgwood's old pottery forms, designs by Flaxman, Stodhardt, Pugin, Owen Jones, Digby Wyatt, &c. One screen in this department will be reserved entirely for illu minations. Messrs. Elkington have kindly con sented to allow each of the artists in their employ to exhibit, as have also Hancocks, Garrard, Hunt and Roskell, &c., so that the division containing this class promises to be one of the most beautiful in the building. A third attempt is about to be made to introduce salmon into:Australia. A steamvessel is being constructed in London, at the expense of the Australian Association, for the express purpose of taking out salmon ova and young salmon. SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN THE CITY.--EXTRAOR DTNARY DISCOVERY.—On Friday Mr. Payne, coroner for the City of London and Southwark, received information of the discovery of the body of a gentleman named John Rosen bohn (who was connected with the sugar refining b us i ness ) , in the water closet of his residence in Somerset-street, Aldgate, with his head chopped and hacked about in amost frightful manner, and covered with blood. The discovery was made by a person lodging in the house, who imme diately raised an alarm, and upon deceased being removed his throat was found to be cut from ear to ear, and nearly severed from his body. The body was given in charge of the police, by whom the matter will be thoroughly investi gated. BENSON'S WATCHES AND CLOCKS ._« Perfection of mechanism." —Morning Post.

THE GOLDFIELDS 01 AUSTRALIA. There has been a very general dulness on the goldfields for some time past, and this is not the season at which to look for much improvement. Water is becoming scarce in many places, and there is always more prospecting during the winter than the summer. The only new field discovered of late is among the ranges at the head of the Nitta Mitts, and the extent of the good ground suitable for sluicing is said to be considerable. Water is abundant there, and the country, though of course rough, and little explored, is not very difficult of access. This new field is about 120 miles from Beechworth, and not more than a day's journeY from the, Omeo, about which district rather extravagoat expectations were formed some years since, in conse quence of geologists having declared it to be the great centre of all the gold formations in this and the adjoining colonies. But although gold is very widely distributed over that region, on both sides of the ranges, no very heavy deposits have yet been found, if we except those of limited extent opened at Kiandoa. Some of the Alpine diggings in our territory pay well, but none of those worked as yet are calculated to support more than a limited number of men, scattered in detached parties over a wide extent of ground, and those last found do not pro mise to prove any exception to the rule. On the older fields the discoveries within the last few weeks have been few, and none of these of special importance. The last of the leads lately opened is near Dunolly, and in some of the shafts last put down on this more than commonly rich washdirt has been struck. From a tub of stuff taken out of one of these 26 ounces were obtained, and from several of the claims near the yield was at the rate of three ounces to the load, a good return where the sinking is not deep. On the old lead at Dunolly, famous for its occasional nuggets, one of pure gold, weighing 60 ounces, was found three weeks since. More lately two nuggets, of 12 ounces and of 50 ounces, were found near Maryborough, also, it is supposed, on a part of the old ground there abandoned to the fossickers, as those men are termed who prefer poking about in old shafts or tunnels after the leavings of others, to work ing;claims in new ground for themselves; and it is surpris ing what a large proportion of the nuggets obtained aro thus brought to light. The largest of our recently-disco vered nuggets, weighing 4040 z, 4dwt., was taken from a claim at Kingower which had previously yielded several lumps, as well as much small gold. Yandoit has quite lost its character for the production of very large nuggets, but several small ones have been found in the neighbourhood within the last few days. Five of these weighed respec tively 130 z., 190 z., 240 z., 230z. 7 and 350 z. Near Creswick, two of 32 and 46 ounces were found, and at Mucklefcrd ono of 330 z. With the exception of that from Kingower, these are all small, and would scarcely be worthy of special men tion were it not for the want of more noteworthy intelli gence. Rushes en a large scale aro almost things of the past, it being seldom now that we have any impor tant movement among the diggers to chronicle. Nor is the state of affairs far different on the reefs. The large yields have been few, and no reefs of much promise have been opened lately. The great want in this branch of mining is still more capital, and none are inclined so to in vest their money except those who have thus made it. Claim after claim is worked down to the water level and then registered, in the hope of the drainage of reefs being provided for some day or other. In most cases steam power is requisite for this purpose, and it is evident that one claim cannot be thoroughly drained without benefit to those above and below it, while those who incur the expense of erecting pumps and working them cannot now compel their neigh bours to bear a fair proportion of the expense. This has long been a standing grievance and difficulty in the way of working reefs partitioned off among many holders, those only who have large claims and sufficient funds being ablo to erect pumping gear advantageously for their own use. The miners in the Bendigo and other districts are address ing themselves to this subject once more, and when the Land Bill and other questions of more pressing interest in the eyes of our legislators are disposed of, something may bo done to admit of a better system of managing the affairs of the goldfields. In the meantime the want of some provision for the drainage of the reefs deprives very many men of profitable employment, and helps materially to reduce the yield of gold. Among the returns lately obtained from the Inglewood reefs, was one of 2020 z., from 17 tons of quartz, out of a claim on the Columbian; andother of 119 oz. 17dwt. from 5 tons, out of a claim on the Athens Reef, besides a lot of specimens picked out at the same time, and sup posed to contain about 150 oz. of gold; and a third of 9460 z. 16dwt. from 37 tons out of Maxwell's Reef, which is now the most productive in this district. The only good yields in the Bendigo district have been from small parcels of stone, and the same thing may be said of the reefs generally, although averages of two and three ounces to the ton have in a few cases been obtained from larger lots. The Ajax Company, on the Bolivia Reef, in the Castlemaine district, got 3870 z. from the last 190 tons crushed by them, but their supply of water is ex hausted, and they can crush no more until the rain comes. From the Ballarat district we have the old reports of large returns obtained by a few of the companies on the deep leads. Thus, the Great Extended washed out 2,311 oz. of gold during the past fortnight, 361 oz. of this in one day, giving a dividend to each shareholder of £llO for the two weeks. The Koh-i-noor Company, with half the number of men, washed out 550 oz. last week, and about 400 oz. the last week, and about 400 oz. the week before, so that their dividends are nearly as high. Some of the other companies of less note, and consisting of fewer men, occasionally have as large dividends to each share, but the two named aro now fairly in the rich gutters running through their claims, and promise for some time to keep up the credit of the deep leads of Ballarat, which, long as they have been worked, are far from being exhausted yet.
