The Sun. — London, England, 1860-05-15 00:00:00

THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1860. GARIBALDI is in Sicily. The vessels which con veyed him thither are sunk or captured, but his men have disembarked, and is with them. These main facts are established even by the telegrams from Vienna and Naples. The Lombardo, which the Neapolitan telegram tells us was sunk, was the vessel which GARIBALDI himself commanded ; the Piemonte was commanded by one of his friends. At Naples, even, they could not conceal the fact that the KING'S ships had merely captured or de stroyed the two empty vessels, to which, indeed, they add, that the fire of the frigates had killed four of GARIBALDI'S men ; while they had to confess, in fast, that after sailing about for six days he had completely out-manoeuvred them, had accomplished his only object, and left them the glorious achieve ment of mastering two empty commercial vessels, when they could be of little further use to him, though the company to whom they belonged will be losers if he cannot pay for them. We learn also that arms had been previously landed by a vessel "from the Levant." The import of this is not quite clear, probably the ship, as a blind had sailed first for the East, and had then turned round and landed her valuable cargo in Sicily. The telegram from Vienna, of all places in the world, tells us that two English men-of-war interfered for two hours with the firing of the gal lant Neapolitan frigates which attacked the steamers, and that the frigates could not resume firing till the English officers had left the shore and returned to the vessels. A strange tale, if true— irregular, of course, the act would be, but Chan cellors of the Exchequer, and Governors of Madras even, can be irregular in these days— a-nd most surely all Englishmen would be but too well pleased if we had given GARIBALDI a little sly help. It would he bat tit-for-tat for the WATT and PAIIKEs affair. It is to be observed that the frigates, so far as can be seen, did not venture to close quarters with the hero. They knew better than to attempt boarding him, or giving hint the oppor tunity to board them. " Long balls" were the measure of their courage, and their expertness seems very much on a level with their bravery, since they infi'ctecl but little damage to life in vessels crowded with men. The result of the landing seems to have been quickly seen. Hitherto the insurgent patriots had no commander, at least no name in connection with the rising has yet been mentioned—all at once they find they have a world renowned leader, disci plined troops, and a man who can add to the national courage, of Sicilians, the strong GI imparted by discipline. The joy at Palermo—which is the nearest large port and town on the North of the Island, to Marsala, which is situated at the ex tvpme eastern point —could no longer be restrained. The people shouted aloud even in the Churches " Italy for ever," Liberty ever E ," x and highbred ladies joined in taunting the garrisons till at length the enraged troops fired on the unarmed multitude, and killed and wounded several of them. Hitherto the inhabitants of the towns, in awe of the garrisons, and knowing that they had no means whatever of resistance, have kept quiet; but the appearance of GARIBALDI has given them confi dence, and it is quite possible that they may openly join him as they may find means of doing it. The Government at Naples still endeavours, it seems, to make out that all is over in Sicily ; but the fact that they were still sending over troops and ammu nition contradicts their own representations. If one account from a contemporary's correspondent be cor rect, Calabria itselfis in a state of revolt ; if so, the diversion on the mainland will aid the islanders; it was rumoured at first that GARI BALDI himself was to land amongst the Cala brians and rouse them to insurrection for this very purpose. We must, however, wait a few days to know the truth. It will not, however, be easy to get correct accounts of what is doing in the interior of Sicily. The KING can with his ships and soldiers probably hold the sea coast and its towns for some time. The interior, mountainous, but barren, is, however, the strength of the insurgents, and from that we shall hear but little. GARIBALDI has addressed a proclamation to the Italians, calling upon them to aid, by contributions, arms, and men, the cause of Sicily and free Italy— the appeal will be responded to enthusiastically. He points to the tried men he takes with him ; and his " Hunters of the Alps " will doubless prove as efficient " Hunters of Etna," whose rocks, he says, shall resound with the shouts of Italian liberty. We have the best hopes —the Nrish, perhaps, father to the hope— that the leader and his "hunters" who " chased the Austrians like rabbits" will chase the Bourbon mercenaries in like style. Bloody and fierce enough those mercenaries have been against the unarmed ; and when pillage and plunder was their ob ject; it remains to be seen whether they are not cowards when matched against a real guerilla chieftain. Nothing better for all could occur than that the inhabitants of the district of Italy he appeals to, should rise also, should divert and distract the attention of the Neapolitan Government and its Generals, that Sicily should regain her freedom, that Calabria should go with her, and that the revolution should spread northwards till it joined the territory of the Romagnese. Then let the POPE and LAMORICIERE, and his cutthroats, and Archbishop CULLEN'S Irish men who are to join them, all, look to themselves. A free Italy will do without them and be content with a Bishop at Rome. It is impossible not to turn occasionally a glance of wondertowards that flood of immigration which still continues to pour and pour westwards and south wards from the shores of Ireland. From Clare, from Kerry, from Carlow, from Wexford, from Limerick, from Tipperary, the crowds still press onwards —men, women, and children, new-born babes and decrepid grand-parents borne along in the great " rush" towards the outward-bound vessels waiting there periodically off the shores of the Emerald Isle, to carry thousands annually to a new world either in America or Australia— " Down where yon anchoring vessel spreads the sail, That, idly waiting, flaps with every gale, Dowaward they move, a melancholy band, Pass from the shore and darken all the strand." It is not that the long continued drain of immigra tion upon Ireland has in any way appreciably diminished this extraordinary movement. "Every day," we read in one of the latest numbers of the Cork Constitution, " Every day the quays are crowded with people making preparations for their departure, and at times it is almost impossible to pass by the doors of the emigration agents' offices, so great is the crowd by which they are besieged." In all directions the " red box" of the emigrant is encountered by the wondering spectator. The northern parts of the island, we are told, no less than the counties already enumerated, " are all con tributing their quota•to the general rush." Nay —descending from generalities to particulars —we read in the Cork newspaper already quoted— " From Dingle 126 came up to this city last week for the purpose of proceeding by the steamers leav ing this port direct for the United States, and on Monday a nearly similar number arrived." And further—" So great is the number applying for passages in the steamers sailing from this that the booking had to be limited, and no more than 500 will be carried each voyage by the mail packets leaving our harbours every Thursday. To take passage by these, two river steamers, crowded with country people, left this city on Wednesday and yesterday," observes the Irish journal in words of seemingly awful ambiguity—" two more went down." This, however, is by no means a comprehensive view of the outward movement. It is merely an incidental glimpse of it as seen in one direction. For our Irish contemporary adds in so many words to the foregoing description— " Yet, great as is the number going from this port, it represents but a small portion of that actually emigrating from this country. Not a Channel steamer trading between this side and England leaves its port without carrying many who intend sailing from Liverpool. From ,his latter place the emigration is enormous. Vessel after vessel is being despatched with full cargoes, and so .great is the rush of applicants that sufficient ships can with difficulty be obtained. The charge for pas sages has been raised as a natural consequence, but the applications are still increasing, and pro mise to become more so as the season advances." The significance of all this is without doubt appre ciable, one might say, instantaneously. This con tisued flood_of Irish immigration has been ingeni• ously compared of late to the draining of a syphon. The symbol, however, we believe to be erroneous. For we are perfectly convinced that the movement will gradually come to an end long before the po pulation has been prejudicially lowered. Refer ring, indeed, to the particular class of persons now leaving the country, one of the Clare journals has recently remarked that " the emigrants are chiefly composed of the remaining members of families who are hastening to join some relative, who, having previously pioneered the way, and been successful, _had, perhaps, transmitted money to enable the rest to emigrate." So far from this continued Exodus, as it is called, proving injurious to Ireland, we rest assured that • it will turn, and that vezy rapidly, to the benefit not more of the Irish emigrants than to the Irish stay-at-homes themselves. The multitude in the sister islands have long wanted elbow-room—they have merely► been out-at-elbows for a long while, from the simple reason of their rubbing elbows with etc another in such close contiguity. On Saturday, then, the 9th proximo, the Levia than is, at length, to steam across the Atlantic. It is impossible not to look forward with profound in terest to her departure. That intere.;.t being in creased rather than diminished, we believe, by the delays that have hitherto occurred to retard the progress of this great enterprise. Such have been these delays, so frequent have they been, and so protracted, that the good ship has passed through BENSON'S WATCHES "Perfection of mechanism."•--Morning Post.

Her destination for that First Voyage has, more than once, been changed. The great Engineer, from whose brain she was the last gigantic emanation, did not survive (as the public yet too painfully remembers) to know that she was actually afloat upon the deep waters of the Chan nel. Her first commander perishes by a deplorable accident while the vessel is still lying off South ampton. There is a new manager acting for the Company now, in the person of Mr. BOLD. And as for the skipper of the Great Eastern, the com munity has learnt, with satisfaction, that Captain HALL has been judiciously chosen as the successor of poor Captain HARRISON. The determination now is that, upon Saturday, the 9th of June, 1860, the Great Eastern shall at length quit our shores and steam across the Atlantic—not as was originally intended, to Portland, but to New York, the sea port capital of the United States. A happier selec tion could hardly have been made than that which has, at last fixed upon, New York, as the Levia than's First destination. The voyage is, of course , an immense experiment; but one, as to the result of which few will entertain any doubt whatever• It will be, of course, the shortest journey ever made across the Atlantic. It will demonstrate the capa bilities of the Great Ship once and for all—as to her speed, as to her carrying powers, as to her general efficiency for all sea-going purposes. The number of passengers upon this first voyage appears to have been discreetly limited to three hundred —all of them " first class," the rate of the single voyage out being very reasonably fixed at £25 sterling, and for the return voyage at a total of £4O. After receiving the ovation with which the Levia than will no doubt be greeted upon her arrival off the coast of America it is proposed we rejoice to know that the Great Eastern shall be chartered by her MAJESTY'S Government for the paying out of the electric submarine cable destined to bring London and Calcutta within six days' communica tion with each other, the electric cable that is between Rangoon and Singapore. It will be a noble achievment, one in every way worthy of inaugurating the giant ship as the messenger across the deep of modern civilisation. First of all, how ever, there is her voyage aeross the Atlantic— looking forward to which, who will not, whether in England or in America, wish the Great Eastern Godspeed ! We for one do already, right earnestly, by anticipation. LATEST NEWS. GARIBALDI'S -EXPEDITION We have now authentic details of Garibaldi's expedition. We extract the following from a letter written from Talamona by one of the leaders of the expedition, an order of the day issued by Garibaldi from the Piemonte, and a proclamation to the Sicilians : " Fortress of Talamona, on the Roman Frontier, May 7, 1860. " I take advantage of a brief respite to drop you a line respecting our movements. As we were obliged to embark at night and hastily, we were in want of many things of most urgent necessity, and were obliged to land here to lay in provisions from the villages near this fort. 'We had a rough passage, and suffered a good deal, but are by no means dispirited, and we soon hope to see the shores of Sicily, and to land to the cry of United Italy for ever 1' and to fight for its freedom. The General has not suffered at all, and I envied him as he, turn about, gave his orders as captain, and then acted as helmsman himself." The following is Garibaldi's Order of the Day "ON BOARD THE PIEMONTE, MAY, 1860, " ORDER OF TIIE DAY. " CORPS OF THE CHISSEURS OF THE ALPS. " The mission of this corps will be, as it always has been, based upon complete self-denial for the regeneration of the common country. The brave Chasseurs have served, and will serve, their country with the devotion and discipline of the best military corps, without any other hope, without any other pretention, than that of a stainless conscience. "No rank, no honour, no recompense, is held out to these braves ; when the danger is past they will return to quiet, domestie life; but, when the hour of battle strikes, Italy sees them again in the first ranks cheerfully volunteer ing to shed their blood for her. The war-cry of the Chas seurs of the Alps is the same that resounded a year since on the shores of the Tessin—' Italy and Victor Emmanuel'— and this cry will strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Italy, used by the Cavaliere Canofari, the Neapolitan envoy here, in his remonstrances to the Sardinian Government with respect to Garibaldi's move, it appears: that the latter have had to stand the brunt of the very severe rebuke of the Russian Minister. On the other hand, the ultra-Liberals, who are called Mazzinians whether they belong to the association of Young Italy or outstrip Mazzini himself, are very loud and savage in their invec tives against the supineness and indeed downright treachery, as they call it, of Count Cavour's Cabi net, by whom Garibaldi is abandoned to his fate. The late debate in the English Parliament respect ing subscriptions opened in England for the avowed purpose of aiding Garibaldi's expedition will go far, I have no doubt, towards reassuring the King's Ministers here, who thought themselves gravely compromised by the indulgence extended to some of the Sicilian sympathisers who collected money for Garibaldi both here, at Florence, and elsewhere. The position of Sardinia, however, differs in some degree from that of the British Empire, and the Italian proverb says that " the same offence brings one man to the throne and another to the scaffold." Sardinia is in the hands of France, that friend so infinitely more to be dreaded than either Austria, Russia, or any other enemy. The mind of the French Emperor, hitherto, has been expressed in a few dry words to the effect that " if the Sardinian Government do not know how to manage their own police, it is full time for France to take that part of their duty off their hands." Great relief will be afforded by the upshot of the expedition, however it may turn out. It is success alone that may bring the world at large to see in Garibaldi the hero he appears in the eyes of most of his countrymen ; and the Sardinian Government, who have been at in finite pains to steer between a connivance with the movement, which would have put them out of the pale of diplomacy, and a resistance to it, which might have brought about their downfall at the hand of extreme parties, will be rewarded for the tact and prudence exhibited throughout all this momentous episode by reaping all the benefit which may accrue from it to the national cause. Another letter from Genoa, dated May 10, says " The news I received at Piacenza about Garibaldi's expedition was so alarming, and at the same time so contradictory, that I thought it better to start at once for this city, in order to gather the best information I could. It was pretty well known both here and at Turin, that the hero of Como and Varese had determined to assist the patriots of Sicily. When the sacrifice of Nice had deprived him of his native country, Garibaldi came to Genoa, and with a few of his devoted friends set to work to organise the expedition. Committees were established, national subscriptions opened, and all the funds arising from the subscription for the million of rifles cashed. Count Cavour, influenced by the remonstrances of your Government and those of France and Naples, could not help inter fering, and honestly did his best to persuade Gari baldi to give up his idea. Muskets were, therefore, seized, and a Tuscan regiment, whose intentions of taking an active part in the expedition were known, was removed from Genoa. In one word, the advisers of Victor Emmanuel think ing that it would be dangerous policy to assist Garibaldi in his endeavours, did all they could to prevent the accomplishment of them. As the news which came from Sicily was anything but favourable to the revolutionary movement, Garibaldi himself wavered at first in face of the great responsibility he was going to assume. On Friday, however, a secret message came from Messina, which decided him to put his bold plan at once into execution. When the ex pedition had been absolutely decided upon the re sident Neapolitan consul went to the Governor of Genoa, and told him that in a house near the har bour fifty boxes of m uskets had been stored for Garibaldi during the previous night. The police searched the house and the boxes were discovered ; but on opening them it was found that instead of muskets and implements of war fare they contained rusty locks and nets. This trick was played by Garibaldi's friends with the object of misleading both the Neapolitan consul and the Sardinian authorities. The preparations for the expedition were in the meanwhile carried out with the utmost activity. Young men of all classes were arriving at Genoa, and during the night were directed to the different centres of meeting, NI here they were dressed and armed. A red blouse, grey trousers, a wide-awake hat, and a musket with a good sword bayonet, were given to them, together with the ?not d'ordre and the indication of the place from whence they had to start. Garibaldi himself had taken up his head-quarters in a country house Al Baro, ten minutes' walk from the city. Count felechi, the well-known Hungarian patriot; Nino Bixio, one of Garibaldi's ablest colonels ; Sirtori, formerly a priest, now a member of the Sardinian Parliament; and, I have been told, your courageous countryman, Captain Peard, were with him, and formed the staff of the heroic band which was on the point of starting on tho boldest expedition of our age. At daybreak on Sunday the orders for the embarkation were given. Garibaldi, who had left his retreat of Al Baro during the night, had sent Bixio on board the Piemonte, a small steamboat belonging to the very company which had been compelled by force' to give up the Cagliari to the 'unfortunate Colonel Pisacane in 185 S. When Bixio went on board all the officers of the Piemonte were on shore, except the first and second mates. He declared to them that he had come there by order of Garibaldi, and that it was his intention to take the steamer to the Foce, a landing place a mile from the har bour. The crew of the vessel on hearing the de claration of Garibaldi's aide-de camp burst forth into a cry of enthusiasm, and declared it would take the general wherever he liked. The engineers, who I believe were English, went to the engines. Another steamboat, the Lombardo, which was near at hand, belonging to the same company, the Robat tino, was towed by the Piemonte to the Foce. When the two boats arrived, there were about 2,000 volunteers waiting. Garibaldi, accompanied by his staff of patriots, passed them hastily in review, and simply said to them You must bear in mind that we are going to embark in an expedi tion from which we shall perhaps never come back. Those who are not quite firm in their determina tion to follow me may yet stay and return to their fami;irß! Not one of the noble fellows stirred, and the answer was Long live Garibaldi ! Long live Sicily! Long liye Victor Em• manel !' It seems that at a distance of 60 miles the steamboats, then going towards the Tuscan waters, met a merchant vessel and took it in tow. Some say it was the Gilio, belonging to the Tuscan navy —some the Amalia, a merchant vessel of Genoa. Provisions, ammunition, about 18,000 muskets, re volvers, swords, and other implements of war, I hear, had been stored on board of her. Both the steamboats and the sailing vessel had been provided with the necessary apparatus for boarding a ship. You must not forget that the Italian leader has been long accustomed to maritime warfare, having practised it very often, and with great success, in South America. A friend of mine who was present at the embarkation told me that, had the authorl- ties tried to prevent it, Genoa would have been been stained by Italian blood." The following telegrams were received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, MAY 15. The Monifeui• of this morning announces that on Monday next the Senate will discuss the peti tion concerning the import duties on foreign iron. PARIS, MAY 14. Despatches from Turin confirm the news of the disembarkation of Garibaldi, of the capture of the steamer Piemonte, and of the destruction of the Lombardo. The /Toy/men/0 of Turin publishes a letter of Garibaldi to M. Itubattino, excusing himself for havingtaken the steamers Piemonte and Lombardo, on the ground that it was done in the interest of the national cause. The Anti de la Religion believes itself able to announce that the dates for the gradual evacuation of Rome by the French troops are fixed. The first detachment will leave very shortly. General Goyon has been nominated Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. Count de Montemolin and his brother have arrived in Paris. In order to arrange the question of the annexa tion of Savoy M. Thouvenel has added the fol lowing declaration to the programme which has been drawn up by France on the subject of a conference : " For better preserving to the districts of Chablais and Faucigny the character of neutrality stipulated by article 92 of the final Act of Vienna, France consents that the said districts shall remain without the line of the French customs, and they shall form a separate commercial zone, under special regulations." The news published in the Bind, " that the Court of the Tuileries proposes or has proposed to Switzerland any pecuniary indemnity, is un founded. France, besides, will now consent less than ever to any cession whatever of the territory of Savoy in favour of Switzerland." MARSEILLES, MAY 14. Letters from Naples to the 12th inst., state that on Thursday last a demonstration took place at Palermo. An immense crowd assembled, shouting " Viva Italia !"" Viva Emmanuelo !" " Viva Napo lione !" Women of the highest standing excited the men, and insulted the soldiers, who fired several shots. The garrison had been ordered to remain in their barracks. Fresh reinforcements are about to be despatched. A proclamation has been published, signed by the Governor of Sicily, Prinee Castel cicala, stating that in view of the grave and san guinary misdeeds, and of the plundering which had taken place at Cemina, Petralia, S ottena, Caccamo, Vicari, and Porticello, the carrying or detention of arms by any bands is prohibited. PALERMO, MAY 12. Tranquillity has not yet been restored in the town and the surrounding country. To-day in five churches, at the termination of mass, shouts of " The Immaculate Virgin for ever !" " Italy for ever!" " Liberty for ever !" were raised. In the evening the populace to the number of about 10,000 assembled on the promenades. The police were unable to disperse them. The troops were summoned and fired on the people, killing three and seriously wounding ten. Several persons who took part in the proceedings have been arrested. TURIN, MAY 14. During the landing at Marsala four persons were killed. It appears that arms and ammunition were disembarked. Other arms coming from the Levant were landed several days before on the southern coast. The Provincial Council of Chambery has ad dressed a note to the Sardinian Government de manding that the treaty of cession of Savoy shall be promptly carried into effect in order to avoid dangers, uncertainty, and suspension of business. The Opinione Nationale of Turin states that the discussion of the treaty will take place next week. VIENNA, MAr 14. At the time when the Federal Council protested at Turin against the annexation of the neutralised districts of Chablais and Faucigny to France, Count Cavour anNwered in a despatch " That, by virtue of the treaty of the 24th March, King Victor Emma nuel having ceded to France all his rights and ob ligations touching the said neutralised districts, Piedmont intends to remain apart from the disputes between France and Switzerland resulting from this annexation." On this declaration of Count Cavour Austria now founds her refusal to admit Piedmont to the proposed Conference. From the moment when, by the avowal of Count Cavour, Piedmont was no longer interested in the matter in question, she could not claim the right of participat ing in the deliberations of the Conference by virtue of the protocol of Aix-la-Chapelle of 1818; she could only take part in a conference under the title of a great Power, but the right of Piedmont to such a title is contested not only by Austria, but also by the other great Powers. MADRID, MAY 14. General Prim has published a declaration stating that notwithstanding the adhesion given by him to the general policy of Marshal O'Donnell, he nevertheless intends to maintain a complete politi cal independence. FRANCE. PARIS, MAY 14. BOURSE, May 14.—Securities continue to be de pressed in consequence of the apprehensions pro duced by Garibaldi's expedition.

EXTRAORDINARY AND DETERMINED SUICIDE.— Yesterday afternoon a most extraordinary and determined act of self-destruction was perpetrated by Mr. William Ro binson, a tailor, residing at 4, Brill-terrace, Somers-town. The house in which the deceased resided was his own pro perty, lie was believed to be in very good circumstances, but had recently been very strange in his manner, and had got rid of all his lodgers, his housekeeper being the only person remaining in the house with him. During the after noon the housekeeper had to go out on some errand, and on her return missed the deceased. On going into the yard she saw his legs projecting upwards out of the cistern. An alarm was given, and on his body being got out it was found that before committing the act he had taken off his shirt and tied his tailor's goose round his neck, in order to effec tually keep his head under water. On searching deceased's person nearly £lOO in notes and gold were found secreted and carefully sewn in his trousers. Tho body awaits an inquest. FATAL COLLIERY Ex PLOSION.--An explosion, attended with loss of life, took place on Saturday morning in one of the pits of Messrs. Aston and Grazebrook, at Gospel Oak, near Wednesbary, Staffordshire. For some time previously it had been known that one of the workings contained fire damp, and precautions were adopted to avert the mischief which it threatened. On the morning in ques tion, however, a collier, named Cadman, observed that the water, which had run along a hollow dividing the safe from the unsafe portion of the pit, was rapidly draining off, and knowing that the dreadful enemy would rush in, he imme diately extinguished the light which he carried, as did also one or two other men in his vicinity. Cadman also ran along the workings, a distance of 20 or 30 yards, and shouted to a man named Ward to put out his candle; but the lat ter, from some cause or other, failed to obey the warning, and the accidont ensued. Fortunately, there were only four men in the pit at the time, or the consequences would have been still more disastrous. Cadman was severely burnt about the head and face, but hopes of his recovery arc entertained. His brother was so much injured that he expired on. Sunday morning, leaving a widow and six chili dren. Their two companions were also much burnt, and one of them is not expected to survive. A man and a girl, who were standing at the top of the shaft, which is 160 yards in depth, wero blown up into the air, but escaped falling down the pit. They were seriously bruised, and the latter in addition received a compound fracture of the eg. AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, MAY 14. The Royal mail steamship America, Capt.

Worse than all, he has tried to sneak out of it in the most ignominious manner. The Britons, whose love of fair play is universal, stopped the fight in order to save their money. The American Eagle has a right to scream like half a dozen locomotives, The poor old Lion, the bully, who has been roaming up and down the earth for so many years roaring at everybody, may go away in some secluded corner and suck his bruised paws, while all continental Europe laughs at him, and is glad that the United States has done it." General Scott has been suddenly called to Wash ington, and it was supposed the sudden call bad some connection with the new boundary difficulty with England. ADELP HI THEATRE. Last evening a serio-comic drama, entitled, "It's an 11l Wind that Blows Nobody Good," was produced here, and met with success. The play has evidently been written for Mr. and Mrs. Wigan, as each of those talented artists have a part which suits them to admiration. The story of the plot is briefly as follows :—A good, simple minded cobbler, when a boy, rescues a child from death from the hands of a dying woman (Phcobe Briggs), who has been attacked by ruffians, just in time to receive tho name of its mother, and a certain packet of papers. Time rolls on, and we find at the opening of the drama the cobbler Simon Strap (Wigan), occupying a shop or stall very near the South Sea House, during the time the " Bubble" was at its height. The child Kitty (Miss Simms) has grown up a handsome woman, and Strap, whom she believes to be her father, is dottingly food of her. The generous cob bler imagines that when the time shall arrive for his telling Kitty that he is not her father, she will instantly accept him as her husband, especially as he is by only twelve years her senior. Incessant work, however, has made him appear somewhat older, a.id he has omitted to notice that a certain poor but worthy young surgeon has found favour in Miss Kitty's eyes. This young gentleman is suffering much from straightened means; the cobbler discovers it, and for the first time he regrets he is not a rich man, in order that he may assist him. Strap, who has withstood the " South Sea Bubble" fever, however, determines to invest £5 10s. 6d. in the venture, but this sum, owing to the mistake made by his uneducated apprentice, Hemp (Mr. Toole), amltars on a slate as £5,106. The money is invested, and the result is a fortune for the cobbler owing to an extraordinary rise in the stocks. Previous to learning his accession to wealth, Strap relates to Kitty her history, and then he discovers that Kitty's love for him as her father is • intense; but as a husband she has selected the young surgeon. The poor cobbler hears this announce ment with a breaking heart, but he nobly resolves that his darling shall not be disappointed in her husband, and he enriches him by giving a thousand pound's worth of South Sea stock. The surgeon realises, and thus becomes a rich man, but his money is not required, as Kitty turns out to be the daughter of Lady Walford (Mrs. Wigan), who had in her early days married a young Jacobite baronet, and whose death soon after occurring, prevented the marriage ever being publicly known. There is of course a bit of villany in the piece. It consists in the scheme of the mur derer of Phcebe Briggs to secure the girl and her fortune for a dissipated nobleman, for which ho is to receive a good round sum, and which, of course, ho does not accomplish. The acting of Mr. Wigan, as Strap the Cobbler, was of the usual thrilling description, and elicited loud applause; while Mrs. Wigan, as Lady Walford, and Miss Simms, as Kitty, also received a similar compliment for their admirable acting. Toole has a good little part in the piece, in which he convulses the house with laughter, and Mr. Billington, as the young surgeon, made a most interesting lover. Tho house was very fully and fashionably attended, and at the fall of the curtain the comedy was given out for repetition every evening until further notice. ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. The taste and spirit which Mr. Batty has displayed since ha has resumed the management of this world-renowned establishment cannot fail to add to the lustre which already attaches to it. This circumstance is in no small degree duo to the great ability of Mr. E. Hughes, who is entrusted with the sole management of the vast establishment. On the opening night a splendid hippodramatic spectacle, entitled " The History of a Flag," was produced, and it has for many weeks been attracting over flossing audiences, whose enthusiastic plaudits testify in a manner that admit no doubt tlieir high admiration and appreciation of the efforts made for their entertainment. Although we have had rival establishments springing up in different parts of the metropolis, which for a short time have run a course of very questionable success, they have at last had to succumb to the popularity of Astley's, which to all intents and pit= poses is the legitimate and immemorial home of the eques trian drama. That it would almost be a national loss should it not continue so, is most certainly true ; but the manage ment of Mr. Batty is a sufficient guarantee against such a circumstance. During his former seasons some of the most extraordinary spectacles were produced, rivalling in magni ficence even those produced by the great Ducrow ; and from former actions bright anticipations for the future ought to be entertained. We have already noticed at length the new spectacle, but the Scenes in the Circle change so fre quently, we might almost say nightly, that want of space prevents us noticing novelties worthy of mention. At the present time the bright particular star of the arena is " Little Menoni," a fairy-like little fellow, whose feats of horsemanship are of the most wonderful description. The Delavanti family, and the other attractions of the establish ment, make up one of the most agreeable evening's enter tainments it is possible to imagine. The Countess Platen left town a few days ago for an absence in Sweden of some weeks. His Excellency Mr. Corbett, Chargé d'Affaires at Florence, arrived at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, on Saturday. We are requested to state that the Countess of Lanesborougli's assembly, announce I for Friday next, the 13th inst., is unavoidably postponed until Tuesday, the 22d inst.

" This organisation is the same as that of the Italian army to which we belong, and the rank given to merit rather than interest is that already achieved on other battle fields. (Signed) " G. GARIBALDI." " PROCLAMATION. "Italians I—The Sicilians are fighting against the ene mies of Italy and for Italy. To help them with money, arms, and especially men, is the duty of every Italian. " The chief cause of the misfortunes of Italy has been disunion and the indifference one province showed for the fate of another. " The salvation of Italy dates from the day when the sons of the same soil hastened to the support of their bro thers in danger. " If we abandon the brave sons of Sicily to themselves they will have to fight the mercenaries of the Bourbon as well as those of Austria, and of the priest who rules at Rome. " Let the people of the free provinces raise their voice in favour of their brethren who are fighting—let them send their generous youth to wkere men are fighting for their country. "Let the Marches, Umbria, Sabine, the Roman Cam pagna, and the Neapolitan territory rise so as to divide the enemy's forces. " If the cities do not offer a sufficient basis for insurrec tion, let the more resolute throw themselves into the open country. " A brave man can always and a weapon. In the name of Heaven, hearken not to the voice of those who cram themselves at well-served tables. "Let us arm. Let us fight for our brothers; to-morrow we can fight for ourselves. " A handful of brave men, who have followed me in battles for our country, are advancing with me to the rescue. Italy knows them. They always appear at the hour of danger. Bravo and generous companions ; they have de voted their life to their country ; they will shed their last drop of blood for it, seeking no other reward than that of a pure conscience. " Italy and Victor Emmanuel I that was our battle cry when we crossed the Tessin; it will resound in the very depths of 2Etna. "As this prophetic battle-cry re-echoes from the hills of Italy to the Tarpeian Mount, the tottering throne of tyranny will fall to pieces, and the whole country will rise like one man. "To arms, then, let us by one blow put an end to our secular misfortunes. Let us show the world that this is truly the land once trodden by the great Roman race. " G. GARIBALDI." A letter from Turin, dated May 12, says :—The rumour of Garibaldi's landing in Sicily is confi dently spread about. I can do no more than notice it. Before this letter reaches England it will either have received confirmation or fallen to the ground. In the meanwhile I here give some particulars com ing to me from tolerably safe sources, which the telegraph cannot transmit, but which throw light on the probable fate of the expedition. It seems now (according to a Genoa letter of the Bth) ascertained that, besides the two steamers,. Lombardo and Piemonte, with which Garibaldi set out, the English steamer which joined him, and the Sardegna, which he hoped to overtake and to cap ture, the venturous hero found the means of secur- ng for his purpose the Giglio, the only war steamer belonging to the late Tuscan navy. It is a paddle steamer of rather tiny dimension's, and neither re markable for strength nor speed. In ordinary cruises she carries four guns and a crew of about 30 men. She anchored usually off Leghorn or Elba, and it is stated the brave adventurer laid forcible hands on her at the first-named harbour. Strengthened by this prize, Garibaldi proceeded further south, and landed at various points about Piombino, Porto Santo Stefano, Talamone, &c., ancient forts and small ports on either side of the great headland, Monte Argentaro, of that Piombino Principality, which was called Stato dei Presidii, and belonged for many years to Spain. I learn from a well-in formed Tuscan that there could be no mounted field artillery on the spot; yet it is certain that some cannon he carried away—some say as many as 24. In all probability, he only rifled some of the bat teries close to the water's edge, and used those rusty iron pieces for the armament of his little steam flotilla. Garibaldi is a sailor, and has all the adroitness and fertility of resources which charac terise men of his craft. What was of no earthly use in those dismantled old forts may, by a little contrivance, be made to do good service by both sea and land. It is not impossible that, trusting the hubbub likely to result from the mere announce ment of his expedition, he may for a few days lie perdu along some desert coast of the island of Sar dinia, to put in array the means he has at hand, to watch opportunities, and strike some blow at an unexpected time and plats, adding strength to the onset by its suddenness and surprise. Off Cagliari he has certainly, we are assured, been signalled. I have seen a letter by one of Garibaldi's officers, dated Talamone, May 8.. The little corps of the expedition, about 1,400 men strong, were being organised into seven " squadre," or companies. They expected to continue their route in the after noon of that day, at four o'clock, and their destina tion was "said to be" Sicily. Among Garibaldi's followers is that Zambianchi famous for the execu tion of some priests in Rome in 1849, a deed for which he contended he had orders from the Mazzini Government in spite of Mazzini's stout denial of the fact. The news about the situation of the in surgents in Sicily previous to Garibaldi's allege I arrival is rather unfavourable, and the rumours of an outbreak in Calabria await confirmation. Besides the strong language said to have been THE CONFESSIONAL. TRIAL AND CONDEMNATION OF A CATHOLIC PRIEST AT TURIN FOR THIRTY-THREE CASES OF SEDUCTION. The Criminal Court of Turin has lately been occupied with the hearing of a case which has spread consternation and shame through many of the most respectably connected families in the Sardinian capital, and contributed not a little to increase the feelings of dislike growing up of late towards the Catholic clergy. When M. Michela publishes another edition of his celebrated work on " Priests, Women, and Families," he will be enabled to enrich it with illustrations far more telling and effective than the propositions which he has laid. down—illustrations to which it would be difficult; to find a parallel, we will not say in real life, but even in the darkest pages of romance. For the honour of the Catholic priesthood, for the honour of religion, nay, for the honour of human nature itself, let us trust that the crimes just laid bare to the gaze of avenging law and justice are no less mt. wonted than appalling. The trial which has excited such a sensation in Turin was that of Don Gurlino, attached, in the capacity of second curate, first to the church of San. Carlo, afterwards to that of the Carmelite order. Amongst his regular professional duties were of course those connected with the confessional, and. these duties he violated in a manner so foul and so atrocious that no less than 33 young girls would appear to have fallen victims to his systematic and scientific profligacy. Not more than 40 years of age, possessing a singularly handsome face and figure, Don Gurlino combined with the natural influence wielded over the mind of the youthful penitent by a spiritual guide, the influence, not less natural, of his own personal attractions. Both influences were skilfully brought to bear in the exciting privacy of the confessional. All the opportunities which it affords of gradually, yet surely, tainting the mind were employed, and employed with too fatal a suc cess. The wretch was, it appears, in the habit of accompanying oral temptations with the appliances and means of obscene books and lascivious prints, to heighten and accelerate their effect. Working on the passions by a graduated scale of literary and pictorial excitement, the curate of " St. Charles " and the " Carmelites " could seize, for his infernal ends, the exact moment when the unsuspecting con fidence of girlhood prepared for him an easy prey. Don Gurlino was at last detected by the very means which he had employed. The relations of a young creature, one of his latest victims, found in her possession an obscene print, and insisted on her telling them from whom she had procured it. The girl refused for some time, but, yielding to their menaces, stammered forth the name of her confes sor. She added that not she alone, but likwise several of her young friends, had received from Don Gurlino immoral books and prints, and debauched by his arts, had yielded up their honour to their spiri tual guide. The relations at once communicated the facts to, and deposited the print with, the district police magistrate, who lost no time in communicating with the higher law authorities, and these latter at once instituted criminal proceedings against the priest. Although the trial was conducted with closed doors, enough of the evidence transpired to fill all Turin with horror and indignation. The guilty acts of the criminal appear to have extended over a term of several years. The full extent of his debaucheries during all that period cannot, of course, be ascertained. One fact, however, is beyond all doubt—that on the trial itself 33 young girls bore testimony to the adoption towards them selves of the wicked arts of seduction with which the criminal stood charged. On this overwhelming mass of evidence Don Gurlino was found guilty, and sentenced by the Criminal Court of Turin to seven years' solitary confinement. The term of the sentence will pro bably be abridged by natural causes. Shame, if not remorse, has already worked such fearful ravages on the p r i soner t h at on the last d ay of the trial he was hardly any longer recognisable.—Post. ~- .. prei and Ayr Per: 101; Tru coal an y pro Baal 3 pel 3 per New Di Indi, Di Di Di Di Ditto Dittc Ditto Cons 7Excl Di Brasi Chfl Ilex Pen] Di RusE Di Spat] Di Turk Di Di Di Di Vent of ti day ; rev.
