Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions the Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-one Life-boats under its man agement, for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

LITERATURE. --f-- Ellice. A Tale. By L. N. Cotnyn. Longman and Co. The effect of this tale is injured by its length being too great for the theme, whilst the plot wants intricacy ; and although we give the author credit for goodness of intention, we think him mistaken in the mode of expressing it. He aims at showing the unsatisfactory spiritual state of his heroine, Ellice (a girl in her teens), in consequence of her excessive affection for her only brother—a state from which she is " providentially" saved by this brother's sudden and violent, though accidental, death at the hands of a schoolfellow; an event which, we are led to infer, took place for her especial benefit. At least this is the conclusion to which the follow ing extract forces us , "Ellice was silent. ' It's quite true l' she said, after a ong pause. I never thought about him at all. I don't think [ often do, and yet I had been trying a little before that.' She stopped again, and then she said, in alow voice, I see it now, Mr. Harrison, though I never did before. Do you remember something you said to me once when we were talking about Gerard ? It was last winter, the day Willie fell into the water. You told me then not to make an idol of him, and not to think of him before doing what was right and pleasing to God. I knew that I had done so, but I thought I wouldn't go on doing it any longer. And yet 1 did. I couldn't help it, for I was always thinking of him and putting him first, and if he were pleased I never cared for anything else. And so this has come; it is sent as a punishment because I loved him best.' " No, not as a punishment, Ellice ; you must not think that. It is sent in mercy, because God saw that you loved your brother so well that you could not love Him more, and because he wishes to have your whole heart, not a divided one. He has seen good to separate you for a little spyvanvtrula wave - ,4 4 2 .Qi e ft everything had gone on smoothly ; and that you may be brought to Him, too, who loves you more than any earthly friend can do. No, you must never say that it is a punish ment. If you use it rightly, you will find, some day, that it is the greatest blessing that could have been sent ; and when, a few short years honce—or it may be only months —you meet your brother again in a home beyond the grave, you will look back to this trial with feelings of gratitude, and thank God that, by taking your idol from you, He led you to give Him the first and best place in your affections." Now the inference to be drawn from this kind of argument is not—don't love your brother more than God, because it is unwise and unjust to do so; but—don't love your brother more than God, lest he, in consequence, be suddenly taken from you by a violent death. The Creator is made a " jealous God," visiting the sins of the guilty upon the innocent, and using his " Providences in a thoroughly sectarian spirit. Mind, we acquit the author of intentional irreverence; we merely think he is mistaken in writing a tale in order to impute motives to the Almighty, of which a mortal would be ashamed. Are those who impute motives to Deity aware that they actually assume superiority —that they think they see through Him, and can penetrate His designs ? There has always been too much of this in the world, and there is too great a tendency nowadays to make novels vehicles for theological or sectarian opinions. That the aim of the novel writer should be to raise views and purify the taste of his readers, whilst at the same time amusing them, we admit; but once let the pious in tention be too prominent and we have a bastard ser mon, not a novel. That the tale has in some re spects considerable merit we willingly grant. The character of Ellice is interesting and natural, and the latter portion of the book shows considerable power over the pathetic. As a tale for young people (theology apart) it is praiseworthy, and the writer is evidently capable of better things. Two Lectures on the Genius of Handel. By Dean Ramsay, Blackwood and Sons. Rightly regarding Handel as the greatest among sacred composers, especially for the human voice, Dean Ramsay delivered these lectures last January in the Edinburgh Music Hall, and they now ap pear in the elegant volume before us. Without pretence to any very profound musical knowledge, the Dean's perceptions are true, his judgment is sound, and he never permits his enthusiasm to out run discretion, If a worshipper, he is no mere idol ater. To heighten one man's fame he does not drag others in the dust. " I am unwilling," he says, "to neutralise or to injure the effect of that merit which I attribute to Handel by asserting what is exaggerated or untrue. Ido not mean to say that Handel has excelled all other musical composers in every department of music. I am aware that Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and others have often equalled, and perhaps at times surpassed his ordinary songs, recitatives, duets, and trios ; that they have produced orchestral effects, have composed symphonies and concertos which Handel, with his resources, could not possibly have produced. But Ido say that in sacred com position for a multitude of voices he stands pre eminent." This is sound in thought and clear in expression. In Handel's time orchestral music was, comparatively, in its infancy. The marvellous intricacy, the gorgeous colouring, the sublime con trasts, which we find in Beethoven's Symphonies would have been then impossible. But for the im perishable part of music—that soul which underlies all form, and sets fashion at naught, Handel is supreme. His music can never die. Wherever voices are uplift in praise will his strains be heard. If things sacred are worthier than things profane then is Handel greatest among musicians. Not ; that he gives us all, but that he gives us the best. With him it is not so much the theme that serves as a foil for his skill, as that his skill glori fies and exalts his theme. Consecrating his best faculties and his highest efforts to his Maker's ser vice,—pouring out his most precious gifts in His praise he has raised an imperishable monument to himself. England's adopted son, he has left to her and to the world a mostl precious legacy,—one which will keep alive the purest musical taste, and will at the same time always conduce to religion and morality. No worthier subject then could Dean Ramsay have chosen. Of his treatment of it we can speak in terms of the highest praise. It is clear, graphic, interesting, and earnest; and all who reverence Handel's name will be delighted with this volume. Memoir of the Duke of Richmond.

That he was an honest man, and that he did his duty i n hi s s t a ti on , few would deny. Still there was no pressing need for his biography. He was an exemplary school boy, a brave soldier, and an unassuming country gentleman. He improved his estate, interested him self in sheep and cattle, created Goodwood Races, and was a staunch Protectionist. In fact, he was a very fair specimen of an average Englishman. The extracts from his speeches there given show com mon sense, tinged here and there with prejudice. He seems to have done many good-natured acts, and we find nothing here set down to his disadvan tage. The author (who conceals his name) dedicates his work "To the Farmers of Great Britain." To them and to his personal friends it will doubtless prove interesting. Blackwood's lii agazine. The fourth part of " Caxtoniana" here given is the best that has yet appeared. We say the best, because it is the most practical and the most calcu lated to influence beneficially those whose characters are in course of formation, and who are to some extent guided by what they read. The theme is " On the Management of Money," and the writer says : Nurse, cherish, never cavil away, the wholesome horror of debt. Personal liberty is the paramount essential to human dignity and human happiness. Man hazards the condition, and loses the virtues, of freeman, in proportion as he accustoms his thoughts to view, without anguish and shame, his lapse into the bondage of debtor. Debt is to man what the serpent is to the bird; its eye fascinates, its breath poisons, its coil crushes sinew and bone, its jaw is the pitiless grave. If you mock my illustration, if you sneer at the truth it embodies, give yourself no further trouble to learn how to manage your money. Consider yourself doomed; pass on your way with a jaunty step; the path is facile—paths to Avernus always are. But if, while I write, your heart, true to the instinct of manhood, responds to my words—if you say, " agreed ; that which you call the first rule for the management of money, I hold yet more imperative as the necessity to freedom and the lifespring of probity"—then advance on your way, assured that wherever it wind it must ascend. You see but the temple t., :f Honour ; close behind it is:tbf-3 temple of Fortune. You will pass through the one to the other.

To say that he is ugly, is nothing ; to add that his figure is grotesque, is to convey no adequate impression. Fancy a man six foot high, and thin out of proportion ; with long bony arms and legs, which somehow seem to be always in the way; with great rugged, furrowed hands, which grasp you like a vice when shaking yours ; with a long scraggy neck, and a chest too narrow for the great arms at its side. Add to this figure a head, cocoa-nut shaped and somewhat too small for such a stature, covered with rough, uncombed and uncornbable hair, that stands out in every direction at once ; a face fur rowed, wrinkled, and indented, as though it had been scarred by vitriol; a high narrow forehead, and sunk deep beneath bushy eyebrows; two bright, somewhat dreamy eyes, that seem to gaze through you without looking at you ; a few irregular blotches of black bristly hair, in the place where beard and whiskers ought to grow; a close-set, thin-lipped, stern mouth, with two rows of large white teeth, and a nose and ears which have been taken by mis take from a head of twice the size. Clothe this figure, then, in a long, tight, badly-fitting suit of black, creased, soiled, and puckered up at every salient point of the figure (and every point of this figure is salient) ; put on large ill fitting boots, gloves too long for the long bony fingers, and a fluffy hat, covered to the top with dusty puffy crape ; and then add to all this an air of strength, physical as well as moral, and a strange look of dignity coupled with all this grotesqueness ; and you will have the impression left upon me by Abraham Lincoln. On the occasion when I had the honour of meeting the President, the company was a small one, with most of whom he was personally acquainted. I have no doubt, therefore, that he was as much at his ease as usual. There was a look of depression about his face, which, I am told by those who see him daily, was habitual to him even before his child's death. It was strange to me to witness the per fect terms of equality on which he appeared to be with everybody. Occasionally some of his interlocutors called him "Mr. President," but the habit was to address him simply as " Sir." It was not, indeed, till I was introduced to him, that I was aware that the President was one of the company. He talked little, and seemed to prefer others talking to him to talking himself; but, when he spoke, his remarks were always shrewd and sensible. You would never say he was a gentleman ; you would.still less say he was not one. There are some women about whom no one ever thinks in connection with beauty one way or the other ; and there are men to whom the epithet of gentleman like or ungentleman-like appears utterly incongruous; and of such Mr. Lincicn is one. Still there is about him an utter ab sence of pretension, and an evident desire to be courteous to everybody, which is the essence, if not the outward form, of good breeding. There is a softness, too, about his smile, and a sparkle of dry humoUr about his eye, which redeem the expression of his face, and remind me more of the late Dr. Arnold, as a child's recollection recalls him, than of any face I can call to mind. The conversation, like that of all American official men I have met with, was unrestrained in the presence of strangers, to a degree perfectly astonishing. Any remarks that I heard made, as to the present state of affairs, Ido not feel at liberty to repeat, though really every public man here appears not only to live in a glass house, but in a re verberating gallery, and to be abbolutely indifferent as to who sees or hears him. There are a few " Lincolniania," however, which I may fairly quote, and which will show the style of his conversation. Some of the party began smoking, and our host remarked, laughingly, " The Presi dent has got no vices; he neither smokes nor drinks." " That is a doubtful compliment," answered the President; " I recollect once being outside a stage in Illinois, and a man sitting by me offered me a cigar. I told him I had no vices. He said nothing, smoked for some time, and then grunted out, 'lt's my experience that folks who have no vices haveplaguyfew virtues.' " Again, a gentleman present was telling how a friend of his had been driven away from New Orleans as a Unionist, and how,on his expulsion,when he asked to see the writ by which he was expelled, the deputation which called on him told him that the Government had made up their minds to do nothing illegal, and so they had issued no illegal writs, and simply meant to make him go of his own free will. " Well," said Mr. Lincoln, " that reminds me of an hotel-keeper down at St. Louis, who boasted that he never had a death in his hotel ; and no more he had, for whenever a guest was dying in his house he carried him out to die in the street." At another time the conversation turned upon the discussions as to the Mis souri compromise, and elicited the following quaint remark from the President. "It used to amuse me some (sie) to find that the slaveholders wanted more territory, because they had not room enough for their slaves, and yet they complained of not having the slave-trade, because they wanted more slaves for their room." In " The Morals and Literature of the Restoration," we have a severe commentary on th e St uar t s and their influence. That on " Homes of the London Workmen" treats of the very inadequate accommo dation for the poorer classes in the Metropolis, but almost despairs of remedy. The writer says— The dilemma seems, for the present, to defy all efforts at esca pe. The working classes, as a rule, are very insuffi ciently sensible to the evils amid which they have been brought up. They will not make a great effort, or a great sacrifice, to escape from them. They will rather huddle together in ono room in a back street in town, than incur the trifling expense and loss of time involved in living out of London, and coming in to their work by railway. They are very often reluctant to submit to any rule or shadow of control, in order to enjoy the great advantages hold out by the model lodging-houses. While this is the case, the improvement of their condition must go on gradually and at a very slow rate. It is very hard to help those who do not greatly care to help them selves. Education is doing something to elevate the stan dard of comfort, morals, and decency, among the rising generation, and will, no doubt, in time create a demand for a better class of dwellings, under conditions which will make it possible to satisfy the want. In the meantime, compulsory measure, whether legal or otherwise, can do little good, and ma y no t d o a little harm. Even the modest demands of the sanitary inspectors tend to raise rents already enormous, and, by enforcing the demolition of houses that can no longer be tolerated, to crowd still more densely those that remain. The railway clearances have done, and will do, a great deal of mischief in this way. The displaced population is driven not outwards but inwards; not into more distant suburbs, but into the already overcrowded " rookeries" as yet undis turbed. It will not be to be regretted, should Parliament think it necessary to take up the cause of the expelled in habitants, and oblige the railway companies to provide houses in suitable neighbourhoods, to replace those they are permitted to destroy.

Plunged in distress by his quarrel with the proprietor of the Pall Mall Gazette—" Good Sama ritans " once more come to the rescue, procure him briefs for Railway Bills; money flows in, and he takes a house on his own ac count. But the " Villain of the piece," that unlucky Dr. Firman, once more dashes his cup with bitterness, not content with drawing bills on his son which the latter pays, he forges his name for a considerable amount, and Philip is overwhelmed with consternation at the discovery. Whether it be in good taste to make the son stand for virtue and the father for vice, in a tale, We doubt. Contrast, of course, there must be, neither bad fathers nor good sons aro rare in the world. But Mr. Thack eray 's effect is harsh, his black and white are thickly laid on, and his picture wants tone. HiS Round about Paper is a clever bit of non sense writing in which ho laughs at, and with his readers. The paper on " Superstition" touches, of course, on the recent so-called spirit manifestations. " The whole subject of supernatural stories may be summed up" says the writer, "in one phrase; in so far as they are strange, they ought not to be believed ; in so far as they are supernatural, they ought to,be disbelived." We commend attention to the article on "The Great Naval Revolution," which contrasts the advantages of wood and iron, and recommends that without delay we should produce " Iron-plated vessels of war, of moderate dimensions, that will bear our flag to distant shores."

I am at a loss for terms to despribe the enthusias tic reception which was warded yesterday to Victor Emmanuel, the King of Italy: It infinitely sur passed, both in fervour, and universality, his first re ception, and far exceeded all expectations. For a week or more the fever has been rising ; yesterday from dawn of the day the excitement was intense, and when the first cannon boomed which announced the approach of his Majesty there was a burst of feeling which it was impossible to mistake. As soon as I had despatched my letter I went out to make my observations and passed over the line of route which his Majesty was to take from the landing-place to the Palace. The balconies were all covered with rich tapestries and shaded by thousands of tricoloured flags, so that through whatever street the eye glanced a fairy forest pre sented itself of gorgeous colour. Even at that early hour ladies were assembling in the balconies, and the streets were thronged with passengers, all busi ness suspended, shops closed or closing, every one appaarently absorbed in the expectation of the Sovereign of this beautiful country. At 1 o'clock it was put about that his Majesty would arrive earlier than was expected, and people began to take up their positions. There were parts of the city which were literally abandoned, the dense population pressing on eagerly to such points as would present a good view of the King, and streets were crowded and housetops were filled with several hundred thousand persons, as if Naples had been turned inside out. For myself I took my place in Santa Lucia, and never saw the bay, which lay under my windows, more beautiful than it was on this occasion. On the left was a forest of shipping, the masts of which just peered over the walls of the fortifications, and every now and then there glanced across the water, like a gay and flaunting gadfly, the launch as green as Dan O'Connell could have desired, and covered with green silk awnings, which was to bear the King to land. Round this gaudy launch sported hundreds of little barks, like insects of smaller pretensions, full of bustle and excitement, glancing here, there, and everywhere, and giving indications of wonderful vitality. Her Majesty's ship Algiers stood outside the Mole, further on, in a central position, lay the Neptune, and not far from the Castello d'Ovo, the James Watt, the first in rank, all three prepared to receive the Sovereign of constitutional and united Italy. It was a proud becoming position which England assumed through her representatives on her native element, for if any country should sympathise with and aid the Italians in this their hour of difficulty, it is the country which is the cradle of liberty, and which has won her present high place among the nations through much suffering and long struggles. In the background lay Vesuvius, apparently dis posed to get up a demonstration on its own account, for, whereas it has been for some time perfectly tranquil, in the afternoon it began to send forth volleys of smoke, but it all terminated in smoke, for there ho is this morning looking as imperturbable as a sulky and dangerous mastiff, At 3 o'clock our ships dressed, and every masts in the bay was covered in a moment, with tri coloured flags; then our bluejackets, conventionally so called, though now they were all as white as snow, were seen running up the rigging and cluster ing about the masts like gulls. "Il Re Galant uomo viene" was the universal shout, and the masses:were heaving backwards and forwards with impatient expectation ; but yet another hour of anxious endurance ensued. At last a shot from the Castello d'Ovo announced that the Royal vessel was turning the point of classic and lovely Pausilippo ; the buzz of voices, and the clapping of hands even in the distant parts of the city were universal and unceasing. The thin mists which had covered the sun for two or three hours, protecting the vast crowds from its burning rays, now cleared up, and sea and mountain dressed themselves in their most gorgeous colours for their Kings; our ships fired salvoes which were repeated by the ships in har bour and the forts, and amid the rejoicings of na ture, for the sun burst out at this moment, and the universal rejoicing of hundreds of thousands of ex pectant free men, their King rounded the Castello, and came in view of the city. It was as beautiful a sight as I ever witnessed. Very slowly the Royal vessel moved on, and with becoming dignity. The Maria Adelaide was followed by another frigate, and then by the Costituzione, which left at mid night on Sunday to meet the King at Gaeta. Soon after the Royal squadron the French squadron hove in view, consisting of four vessels, a first-rate and three frigates. They are respectively the Bretagne, the Algesiras, the Redoubtable, and the Imperiale. By this time we had in the Bay three British ships of four, four French, and the Italian squadron, consisting of the three which accompanied his Ma jesty, and several others in the Royal port. You may judge what a brilliant coup d'ceil it was, all decorated as they were, and with their yards manned- I have not spoken of excursion steamers which went out to meet the Royal vessel, nor of several othe rs ' wh ich left in the afternoon, giving evidence of the increas ing commerce of Southern Italy, a nd making a pro test, as it were, against a return to the old state of things, by which all individual and national efforts were crippled or crushed. As soon as th e M ar i a Adelaide anchored the State barge received the King, and attempted to make its way to the land— attempted I say advisedly, for such a multitude of boats crowded around it, filled with enthusiastic per sons desirous of welcoming the i r Sovereign, that it was difficult to land. It was calc u l a t e d that 500 of these boats hovered round the Royal barge. On his Majesty disembarking, and entering the pavilion which had been erected expressly for the occasion and fitted up w ith e xquisite t as t e, he was received with a hurricane of applause. I can give you no idea of the ardour, the waving of handkerchiefs, clapping of hands, and shouts of "Viva Vittorio Emmanuele, it Re Galantuomo, it Re d'ltalia Unita!" Bouquets were showered thicker than May showers could do i t . Every possible spot Wu occupied, and the very / Z (2 PRICE..... ...4d. STAMPED masts of the vessels had their clusters. The King was evidently moved by the enthusiasm of the people, and that is saying much for a man of iron nerves. The demonstration must have been a mighty one which could so far have affected him. In the pavilion there were in attendance the civil and military authorities and . Ministers of St a t e, an d members of the diplomatic body and other persons of distinction who had received invitations. As soon as the official greetings were completed the Ri ng entered the Royal carriage, which was in attendance, and, preceded by a picket of Carabineers, commenced wever, the truly Royal procession. Before all, however, went a host, of gamins, who, in all countries, it would appear, are the exponents of public joy; the various associations of students, operatt , " Italia Una," and several others followed, bearing flags and boughs of trees. I saw several priests in the proces sion, and au old friar sinking under the weight of a banner. The first carriage bore the officers of the household; then came the Royal carriage drawn by six horses, and seated with the King were the Pre fect, General Della Marmora, and the Syndic, Cava lier Colonna. A squadron of the mounted National Guard surrounded the King, and a brilliant spectacle they presented with their costly uniforms and fine horses. Indeed, the entire service was done by the National Guard, who lined the road of the proves . sion, and a finer body of men it would be difficult to find. ' A few presentations took place, and the first who was received by the King was our senior captain, Captain Codd. An hour's repose, and the rejoic ings of the night began. I first walked through the city—if a man could be said to walk who was borne along bodily—and marked the universality, of the illuminations ; there was no sparing of oil; people did not light up merely to save their windows, their demonstration was as spontane ous as it was general and enthusiastic, and not even the police of the Bourbons by threats or per suasions ever managed to get up such an illumi nation. Every quarter had its band, and Bengal lights to amuse and divide the masses. The Church of Carminie *is a thing ToflightPand its , pietY rekderto i wer gloWed and glittered from afar ; but when I entered the Palace-yard I thought I had never witneased such a fairy scene. The church and cupola, and the colonnades of San Francisco Paolo were lighted np as is St. Peter's on Easter Monday. The three Royal palaces were crowded with the elite of the country ; the King was in the centre of the balcony, and a regular storm of congratulations greeted his appearance. Below was an amphitheatre of seats in which were seated 450 musicians, and the serenade was about to begin. "How are we to get to the Foresteria ?" said my friend, for the people were packed like anchovies, and a dense mass of carriages was beneath the Royal salon ; but a strong will and courage overcome any difficulties, and so, ploughing through the crowd, we shortly found ourselves in our desired places. The Piazza was now almost in darkness, and the serenade began, and one after another, with brief intervals of repose, the following pieces were performed, under the able direction of Maestro Troisi :- 1. Marcia Reale. 2. Sinfonia—Assedio di Corinto. 3. Marcia di Troisi, su' motivi popolazi—." Fenesta Vas- Or," " Festa di Piedigrotta," both composed by Guglielmo Cotrace. 4. Valzer--" Il Re Galantuomo del Maestro Savoja." 5. Marcia de Palatio del Maestro Caecavaio. 6. "Intro di Garibaldi." Immediately after the first piece it was evident that the temporary darkness had been arranged for the sake of contrast, for directly after its conclusion there was a burst of light from the top of the colon nades of the Church of San Francisco which was almost blinding. Fountains of fireworks played all over the roof, tricoloured rockets shot into the air, studding the Heavens with brighter constellations than already glittered there, and then comparative darkness closed around us again, and the soft music from below stole upon our ears. The effect was magical. As every piece of music wakened up the memories or touched the affections of the people, there were bursts of applause, and so these inter. changes of music and light, gorgeous and charac teristic light, continued until half-past 10 o'clock. I must notice particularly the late part of the spec tacle, which was peculiarly brilliant ; round the summit of the colonnades were suspended festoons of evergreen by day, with circular garlands on each point of the festoons, while in the centre of the cupola with an immense garland, with a gigantic V.E. in the middle. In a moment these decorations were a blaze of tricoloured lights, changing from time to time, the form exquisitely preserved, and every leaf and flower being accurately defined. A shower of rockets shot up again in all directions and then darkness fell upon the delighted and loyal masses, who will long remember the splendours of this right royal reception of the King of Italy. I fear to have been tedious in my details; but I do assure you that I feel utterly incapable of commu nicating to you the most distant idea of the joy and enthusiasm of the Neapolitans. It was after the King had been safely landed in the Palace that I went through the crowd yesterday, and witnessed the immense satisfaction and gratification. The captain of one of the battalions seized me and said, " Did you ever see anything like it ; I was on guard at the Pavilion ; we could all have wept like children: Bello! bella! magnifica! Bun Angelo ! " speaking of the King. And now one word as to my impressions of this wonderful pageant and demonstration. First, the Southern Italians are eminently monarchical in their ideas and tendencies. Republicanism will never find any root here. Such theories may be started, and associations in their favour may be found, but nothing but monarchy will go down here. And who is that monarch to be P Not a foreign prince ; the very stones would rise up and prot es t against him, and much less a Bourbon. eSaome may n have been discontented, impatient, exig ts Europe their Sovereign but Vietnr Frareinn uel they will not have a Bourbon. Who t f lien is And' but to y l e 3 s e . theyte r d a will i the y l l h - avde c lared and in n t o h n e o bfauctehio'nfi. that YOU k now that I expressed myself dolefully on occasio n o f the first plebiscite, as I would and do of all suc h State machinations ;, but yesterday 's demonstration was the true piebisrcite, the only one in which I have any faith--spontsneous, heartfelt, an d univer sal. I cannot help o bser ving that when Royalty is so welcome, its presence so great a necessity, its seat must be nearer the South, and every true friend of Italy must clamour for Rome as the capital. There lies the Italia n question, and the enemies and soi-diearat friends of Italy know it right well. Let Victor Emmanuel be enthroned at the a i 1 c pta , and let his Neapolitan subjects see a little more of him, and there will not be a more loyal or a more de lighed people in all Europe. You well know that I always endeavour to be impartial at the risk of much misrepresentation and personal hostility under every r egime. I am never an advocate, but an histo rian ; receive, therefore, my statement and opinion as faithful, that the demonstration of yesterday was a protest against foreign princes and combinations and snares; against the whole race of the Bourbons and their allies, the priesthood, and a prayer, an earnest, an agonised prayer, to civilised Europe to assist in placing Victor Emmanuel, the King of United Italy, in his only legitimate capital, the Eternal City. I have only to add that though several hundred thousand persons were on foot yesterday there was not one instance of disorder and not one arrest made, I had it on the authority of the Qurestor. I mingled in the densest crowd I ever was in in my life, an anchovy myself packed with thousands of others, and found myself moved along with well-dressed women in the crowd, fearlessly and without the slightest pushing or rudeness.
