LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1860. ,4, The liberation, then, of Palermo is sealed. The letter, which our readers will read with such pleasure, though, thanks to a despot's mercenaries, with such painful pleasure, we have every reason to think_ authentic. It reaches us just as we go to press, but we have full hope that its truth will soon he corroborated by telegrams or further letters. Our only doubt is whether " full possession" means that the Neapolitan troops are driven out of the castle also, since communications bearing a date so near to that of the letter, imply that the armistice was still existing, prolonged, some say, to the 3d of this month, others till to day. It records, any how, a brave soldier's view of the position of the liberators and patriots—and that is, that Palermo is theirs. We cannot be long now without more definite information. The mercenaries of the KING have, many of them at least, fought more fiercely than might have been expected, but perhaps they felt that they fought with a rope round their neck. GARIBALDI is, in ' deed, pre-eminently, a man of mercy, but it would not suit the Neapolitan Generals to let his men think so ; and as to the native Sicilians, the oppres sors knew that their victims hated them with the most cordial good will. After the atrocious bom bardment of the nonmilitary part of the city what could the fiends hope for from the inhabitants but the shortest passage to their " own place." The sen timents of the people towards Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and the people of England, are gratifying, the more so because we all know them to be just. And, with Mr. PorE HENNESSY'S leave, we beg, at the hazard of his moving that Sir RICHARD BETHELL prosecute us for mi,demeanour, or for anything else, to recommend the paragraphs relating to material aid to the attention of all our countrymen. At the same hazard we beg to add, that anything in our power which would facilitate the obtaining or transmission of such aid, it will give us the greatest pleasure to do. Nor do we believe there is a journalist in England who would not heartily say the same. It is, as the writer remarks, huma nity to strengthen GARIBALDI. Anything like wilful misrepresentation is always as sure to recoil—after hitting the intended foul blow—as a boomerang. Of this truth our po litical history is perpetually affording us fresh illustrations. It is a truth, however, so wholesome in its influence when recognised, that it is worth insisting upon at every available opportunity as though it had never pre viously been demonstrated. slow few of us have forgotten the CANNING episode towards the close of the political career of the late Sir ROBERT PEEL. lfow few who marked it at the time will be likely now to lose the remembrance of it. We might enumerate a considerable catalogue of similar incidents if we cared to to do so, by carelessly flickering open the dusty leaves of past volumes of _Hansard, and bringing • to recollection again now almost forgotten inci dents of the like kind in the annals of Parliament. Our doing so, however, at the present time, would be, with a double significance in the phrase, worse than superfluous. For during this current session of ours for 1860, we have had the old truth here referred to again and again signally demonstrated. Two instances among these are especially deserving of some cursory commemoration—in stances of these recoiling boomerangs of misre presentation. They were both of them as flagrant in their extravagance as, in its utter absurdity, wa s that minor misrepresentation indulged in the other day by one of our Ministerial morning con temporaries when charging th - e right honourable baronet.the member for Hertfordshire (indirectly, through some Vestry meeting report) with having designated the people of this country, those humble and toil-worn classes making up the bulk of our population as " boors"—or with having applied to them some other epithet equally supercilious and contumelious in its significance. Than which charge nothing, we believe, could be more abso lutely groundless or more entirely preposterous, Not a spoken word from that month, not a written word . from that hand being anywhere adduceable to bear out this unfair and foolish accusation. The accused orator in truth might rest satisfied with retorting simply to the author of the misrepresenta tion, the very words addressed by HAMLET to the Players, though with more literal force in their application " Speak the speech I gave you as I pronounced it to you" and so forth. And vainly would " boors" be looked for as applied to our English peasantry-, by one like Sir EDWARD LITTON, of whom, it is remembered, among many other kindred incidents, that his famous " Letters to John Bull," for example, were signed as forcibly as significantly A Landlord and a Labourer ! Enough now, however, if in commemoration of the two most recent and striking illustrations of the whole some truth which we would fain thrust at every available opportunity upon general recognition — if we here remind our readers of the instances in which misrepresentations recoiled of late succes sively from the noble lord the Secretary to the Ad miralty, and from the honourable gentleman the member for the borough of Nottingham. Mr. HORSMAN'S knuckles for one, we should eonjecture, must yet be tingling from the return of his swing ing boomerang. Not many years ago we heard strange stories from China of the leaders of the rebels there; they took the names of Princes—Eastern, Northern, Western Princes, and professed to have communi cations from Heaven itself. Having begun with some rude ill-adjusted ideas and facts derived from the Scriptures, they went on till the Eastern Prince, we believe, asserted himself to be the Holy Ghost, and the first inspired leader of the rebellion, after due investigation, acknowledged his claim. Of course the blasphemy seemed to us very shocking, yet we naturally pitied the delusions of both leaders and followers on the ground of their profound ignorance of Christianity. With the complacencf . of a people who know all about it, we smiled at the credulity of the previous worshippers of BLDIIA and of idols. We did not much wonder that they thought their leaders inspired, who taught them to smash their porcelain or paper idols, or one of them even a person of the sacred Trinity. There is now, however, before the Vice-Chancel lor's Court a case which may subtract a little from the national superciliousness with which we regard those numerous natives of the flowery empire, who regard the Eastern Prince as an incarnation of the Holy Ghost. We, too, have, it seems, a PRINCE who is honoured yet more highly—a WESTERN PRINCE— for his palace, of which we have heard before under the name of the Agapemone (abode of love), is at Spinxton, near Bridgewater, and we ought to drop in such a case the common place Christian name of HENRY JAMES. Our WESTERN • PRINCE, according to the explicit statements of his followers, is the Tabernacle of GOD on earth. The spirit of what was HENRY JAMES PRINCE is extinct in the mortal vehicle in which it once dwelt, and the Spirit of GOD occupies its place. In the palace of our WESTERN PRINCE worship is considered superfluous, for the day of grace is past, and the day of judgment and of the resurrection came in the person of the WESTERN PRINCE. His teaching, in brief, was this : that every previous dispensation or covenant had been terminated by bringing forth its perfect person ; the first covenant of all brought forth ADAM, the next NOAH, the next ABRAHAM, ancl the fourth JESUS' CHRIST ; but here we had better use the ipsissima cerba of the WESTERN PRINCE :—" GoD, in JESUS CHRIST, has again entered into covenant with man at the resurrection of mankind. This is the first ie surrection, and now lam His witness. This one man, myself, has JESUS CHRIST selected and ap pointed his witness to his counsel and purpose, to con clude the day of grace, and to introduce the day of judgment to close the dispensations of the spirit— the Gospel, and to enter into covenant with flesh. . . . . The dispensation of the law closed so soon as one was found perfect therein—the Lord JESUS CHRIST; and in like manner the dispensa tion under which the spiritual seed of JESUS CHRIST lived, that is the Gospel, closed so soon as one u'as found perfect therein—Brother Prince. As it has been GoD's way in the history of mankind to open a new dispensation by means of him as His witness, in whom He had made perfect the former one, so now He has introduced the day or dispensation of judgment and the first resurrection through Brother PRINCE, His witness, in whom he had by His spirit fulfilled the dispensation of the Gospel, and so closed it." The reader will hardly credit the statement that these are the words concerning himself of a man in Holy orders in the Church of England, who had been duly educated in one of her theological institutions ; and that several gentlemen of property, one of them a lawyer, have been believers in this PRINCE, re sidents in his Agapemone, and contributors to his institution of sums varying in amount from £l,OOO to 1:10,000. That four maiden ladies of property should believe in the incarnation of the Holy Spirit in a clergyman, may not surprise so much. We are accustomed to the caprices of religious imagina tion amongst unoccupied single ladies ; but the gullibility of men and lawyers, and in the matter of hard cash too, would seem to leave us no very flattering grounds of national :comparison with the Chinese believers in the EASTERN PRINCE. It was in connection with the four ladies just mentioned that the facts of this marvellous case have come before the public—and facts they are, as it is often remarked, stranger than any fiction. iln 1840, PRINCE became curate of a Mr. STARKEY, at Charlwich, in Somersetshire ; for intermeddling with other parishes he was deprived by the Bishop of his license. But even at Charlwich he showed his power of gaining ascendancy over the minds of others—for Mr, STARKEY figures as a donor of £l,OOO to Agapemene. He soon found ano ther curacy at Stoke, in Suffolk, where he formed acquaintance with Mr. JOSTAS NOTTIDGE and his four daughters, LOUISA JANE (whose gift to him of £5,728 Three per Cent. Annuities, just before her death, was the occasion of the present suit by her brother, who most righteously seeks, as her admini strator, to set aside the gift), HARRIET, CLARA, and AGNES. He then went to Brighton and opened a chapel there, keeping up, through servants, clan destine correspondence with tire girls. Mr. NOT TIDGE died, leaving his daughters between £5,000 and £6,000 each. And now, of course, he had the ladies entirely in his power. They are soon all got down to Taunton; there we find Mr. and Mrs. PRINCE, the Misses NOT TIDGE, and Mrs. STARKEY. They lodge at inns, but by Mr. PRINCE'S especial direction, the Misses NOTTIDGE pay the expenses of the whole party. And here occurs the scene which shows the complete subjection of these _finnalt e' i minds to the inspired PRINCE. On the morning of June 10, 1845, the party being still at Taunton, PRINCE sent a message from his own inn to Miss HARRIET NOTTIDGE requiring her presence, and upon her entering the room in which he and Mrs. PRINCE and STARKEY were sitting he informed her that she would give great glory to GOD by marrying his friend, Mr. LEWIS PRICE, and such consent having been obtained, he directed Miss NOTTIDGE to withdraw, and to keep entirely secret what had passed at their interview. A second message of similar import was immediately after received by Miss AGNES NOT TIDGE, and when she got into PRINCE'S pre senee he told her that GOD was about to con fer on her an especial blessing, which the Spirit directed him to make known to her, but that, before hearing what that bless ing was, she must make a solemn promise to do whatever was required of her. After some reluctance on her part Miss AGNES NOTTIDGE gave such promise, and was thereupon in formed that the blessing in question was that she would be marrie I to Brother Thomas in a a few days. Miss NOTTIDGE objected to the mar riage taking place before a settlement should have been made for the purpose of providing for any family which she might have have. PRINCE and STARKEY immediately replied, "There will be no need of anything of that kink. You will have no family. It will not be in accordance with your present calling. Your marriage will be purely spiritual, to carry out the purposes of God." Miss AGNES NOTTIGE then withdrew. On the same day PRINCE dined with the young ladies, in company with Messrs. PRICE and THOMAS, toil during dinner informed those gentlemen that HARRIET AGNES NOTTIGE had, in obedience to the will of GoD, consented to become their wives." He afterwards married a third sister in the same manner to persons of whom they knew nothing before; the marriages were solemnised immedi ately at Swansea, because, he said, "it was the will of GoD," though the young ladies demurred through fear of causing " great sorrow" to their mother. PRINCE, however, referred them to the book of" Jonah," to show them the consequences of disobeying GOD by keeping the fourth command ment. They were consequently married, in black dresses—for so the spirit directed—on the 9th of July, to the three husbands, two of them penniless men, we believe, previously, and third with but £l,OOO of his own. It is not for us to anticipate the legal decision of the judge. But, set ting aside the blasphemous extravagances these poor girls were led to believe, we imagine that any jury of English fathers— certainly any jury of mothers—would decide that the spiritual influence over female minds must be " u ndue" in the highest degree, if it could enforce their consent on the spot, to marriage with strange "brethren"—to marriage without a settlement, when even the woman urged its importance, and to marriage in a way to cause great sorrow to a widowed mother, while the poor girls retained so strongly amidst these spiritual aberrations, their instinctive filial sentiment. Had most of us been their brothers, we much fear we should have in curred the penalties of taking the law into our own hands in regard to the inspired gentleman. In the case of Miss NOTTIDGE, who, by Divine command, became Mrs. Thomas, and who, as above narrated, was guaranteed against needing a settle ment of her money, it became in due time apparent that the guarantee was not fulfilled. Thereupon and in consequence thereof, PRINCE expressed great anger with her," and her husband, who was away from her at the time, writes, " The servant of the Lord' told me that you would not be in your present state unless you had rebelled months ago; and thus you will suffer for it in not being able to go about with her as you otherwise would ; but when I see you I will tell you all about it." THOMAS endeavoured to get the child at one time away from her, but Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE was appealed to, and appointed Mrs. THOMAS and her mother guardians of the child. Such are the principal facts of this extraordinary case. As to the Agapemonists, they seem to enjoy all the possible comforts which a good mansion, extensive grounds surrounding it, conservatories, excellent horses, carriages, and such like comforts can minister to the " children of the resurrec tion," but, while persecution of Mormonists, Joanna Scottians, and Agapemonists is folly only second to that of the victims, we trust the law will yet prove to be on the side protecting property from the attacks of religious insanity. LETTER FROM PALERIIIO. TO TILE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. SlR,—The following letter from the battle-ground of Palermo, to a member of the Garibaldi Testimonial Com mittee, written with the abrupt emphasis of a soldier, "hot with rage" in a noble war, may have interest at this hour, and show the friends of Garibaldi the kind of aid he most wishes. The writer bears five wounds, fighting under Garibaldi before. He was in London on May 22d, but left to express that sympathy which his arm could give. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. D. P. HODGE, Hon. Sec. to the Garibaldi Testimonial Committee. The - Union, Anderton's Hotel, June 6, 1860. Palermo, May 28. Dear Sir,—Just time to say that we are in full posses sion after streams of blood have flowed. Fights 'twist brothers are deadly. We want money; we want, as I told you, a British steamer, chartered with revolving rifles and pistols of Colt's (17, Pall Mall) ; also some cannon raye. But, for the sake of humanity and liberty, do hurry up the subscriptions. The sooner we are strong, the less the chance of more fighting. We muster now some 30,000, all told, though not all armed. We want arms and am munition, and caps—Minie rifles—or the rifle corps pat tern the General would as soon have. He is well, and radiant with joy and hope, though sighing over the neces sity to shed blood. Oh ! will the world never learn to value the really great men of earth until the grave has closed over them I Garibaldi has written only one or two of all the things published over his name ; the rest are the inventions of enemies or over-zealous friends. Messina must capitulate. If the King grant a Consti • tution, all will be lost. The Bourbons must be driven from Italy, for it will never be quiet without. Warn the papers against trusting the so-called letters, &c., from Garibaldi. He writes little or none, and . dislikes to be made prominent. Do try and urge on the subscriptions. The English ad miral here has behaved bravely, and Lord John Russell's praises are in every one's mouth, but he must not falter nor hesitate. The Royal Palace is burned down, and the fighting was desperate indeed. Of all the defeats imputed to the " insurgents," not one has really taken place. The General was obliged at times to sacrifice some lives for strategical purposes. Now, pray use your influence for England not to allow Naples to patch up a peace, for I tell you it is useless. Garibaldi and his friends will never consent to anything short of " Italy for the Italians." You may communicate this as "official," if you wi§h, to the newspapers, reserving my name. Yours truly, in great haste, G. J. Holyeake, Esq. P.S.—I need hardly say this will have to take its chance of getting to you. I trust it to a captain whom I have given the money to pay the postage in Genoa, where he is going. Will you let me hear from you. MR. AGUILAR'S CONCERT.—On Monday Mr. Aguilar, one of our most eminent professors of the piano forte, and a composer of great ability, gave a concert on Monday afternoon, at the Hanover-square Rooms, which was numerously and fashionably attended. With few ex ceptions, the special pieces were compositions by Mr. Aguilar, of m hich a Sestot for pianoforte, flute, oboe, clari net, horn, and bassoon, and Trio for pianoforte, violin, and violincello, were the most important. Th e S es t et was played for the first time in public, and the Trio for the second time,. Both compositions are emanations from a skilful and clever musician. The Sestet is by far the most ambitious work, and betokens not only great readiness in treatment and development, and an undeniable feeling for harmony, but much felicity of thought and conception. It was played to perfection by Mr. Aguilar (pianoforte), Mr. Pratten, Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Lazarus, Mr. C. Harper, and Mr. Hausser. In the Trio Mr. Aguilar enjoyed the co operation of Mr. Alfred Holmes and Herr Lidel. Mr. Aguilar's other performances comprised Beethoven's sonata, an arrangement of \Veber's last Waltz, and a Bolero of his own composition, All were admirably played. The singers were Miss Lindo, Miss Parepa, and Signor Belletti. Altogether Mr Aguilar's.concert was one of the most in teresting or the tiseason. LATEST NEWS. MARSEILLES, JUNE 6. The direct steamer from Messina brings news to ;he 3d inst. The city was deserted. All merchandise had been embarked. All the consuls had left excepting M. Boulard, the French consul, who was transport ing his effects to the Descartes, on board of which he would retire as soon as the city should be be sieged or become the theatre of fighting. The Supreme Committee of Palermo had an nounced in the name of the Dictator that a vote will be taken on the question of annexation to Sar dinia. The inhabitants of the towns in insurrection had requested the neighbouring communes to seed in provisions. The whole of Palermo was barricaded and forti fied. Garibaldi bad a great number of grenades at his disposal. Other royal troops stationed in the neighbour hood of the custom-house had gone over to Gari baldi with arms and ammunition. Influence was also exercised by Garibaldi's agents in the other portions of the Neapolitan army. It was said that there were 2,000 sick and wounded among the royal troops. One thousand volunteers from Cagliari had dic embarked at Marsala. The English admiral had announced the signa ture of an armistice. In the affair at Catania the peasants fought well, but were ultimately repulsed. The Neapolitans lost 200 men. Orders had been given to the various bands of insurgents to concentrate for the final combats. BERLIN, JUNE 6. It is said that an understanding between Prussia and the middle States of Germany will be brought about by an interview at Baden-Baden between the Prince Regent of Prussia and several German sovereigns. HANOVER, JUNE 6. The official Gazette announces that Minister Ton Borries has been raised to the dignity of Count in consideration of his services. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 5. Muchtar Pacha, Minister of the Civil List, has been appointed Minister of Finance, replacing ETassib Chefik Pacha, hitherto Minister without port folio, replaces Muchtar Pacha. Theodor Baltazzi is dead. THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. A letter from Turin;:dated June 3, says :—" 'We have rqceived from Sicily news which the telegraph has confirmed, that the little steamer Utile bas successfully landed 500 volunteers and 2,000 mus kets on that island. The arms sent from America must also have reached their destination, since Garibaldi himself sends word that he no longer requires any. It is true that his principle of sup plying one's self with weapons at the enemy's ex pense has been pretty fairly carried out this time, and this is possibly the reason why he wants no more. I have seen the brief letter in which he says this ; in it he also praises the courage of the Sicilians who joined his colours, and I have like wise seen a note written by his Aide-de-Camp Turr, who communicates the sad tidings that Menotto, Garibaldi's son, had been seriously wounded. The death of this gallant youth would be a heavy loss indeed ; he has been the pride of his father, whose gallantry and simple habits he inherits. Among the wounded there is also the son of Manin, who was the dictator of Venice in 1848." Another letter of the same date says :—" The telegraph this morning informs us that the King of Naples first applied to Austria for assistance, and that the Cabinet of Vienna replied that it would have been glad to afford aid to its faithful ally were it not that the principle of non-interven tion had been established. It was then that the King determined to apply to the diplomatic repro. sentatives to interfere. It is said that at Palermo the inhabitants threw down on the troops, stones, furniture, boiling oil, trunks, china, anything." The following are some further particulars from Palermo : Except the Castle, the Treasury, and the Palace, the whole of Palermo was in the hands of Garibaldi, and the Neapolitan troops at these points were com pletely hemmed in. Medical attendance had been asked of Garibaldi by the Neapolitan general, and granted. Provisions had also been applied for and refused. On containing possession of the city he opened the prison, liberated the prisoners, and took the gaolers and as many of the police as he could find. After exhibiting these for a day in the mar ket-place, he hanged them, in the presence of the people. A good many of the townspeople were killed by the Neapolitan soldiers during Gari baldi's assault, and by the shot and shell from the ships. The Neapolitan troops who had been de ceived and led into the country by Garibaldi's feigned retreat had re-entered the town by sea, the steamers having picked them up on the coast. Those in the Castle were completely cut off from those in the Palace. The _Neapolitan ti oops, who still held these points, were greatly discouraged, and it was thought would not fight. The streets, barricaded and protected by cannon, Were in the hands of Garibaldi and the towns people. The first truce asked for by the Neapoli tans was broken by them, but Garibaldi appeared to take no notice of this breach of faith. On the 30th of May, on the day the conference was agreed on, a shot was fired from a Neapolitan steamer at Garibaldi's carriage, as he was descend ing to the mole, to proceed on board the Hannibal, but fortunately did no harm. On the 31st, many of the officers of the ships in port went on shore, at which time a good many dead bodies of the inhabitants were still lying in the streets. The Neapolitans suffered immense losses in killed and wounded during the assault. Garibaldi's loss was small. An official despatch says : "The attack on Palermo began at four a.m. on Sunday morning, at all points. An aide-de-camp of Garibaldi arrived at six o'clock with a mass of in surgents and Corps Francs. An infernal fire then began from (Jastellamarc, and continued till one p.m., with two shells to the minute; it then varied from two to three minutes till six p.m., and after that continued at intervals of five minutes. The ships of war also threw a great quantity of shot and shell. Frightful conflagrations have been the consequence, but the insurgents pushed on vigorously. The bombardment continued all the night, at wide intervals, till 4 a.m. on the 28th, when the troops abandoned the prisons. About 6,000 prisoners have been liberated, of whom 1,600 to 1,800 were political, 1,200 galley slaves, and the rest for correctional offences. The troops have abandoned the barracks of Quattroventi, near the port; a portion have gone on board the vessels. A great number were found this morning (the 28th) among the rocks of the Mole, waiting for boats to be carried to Castellamare, or to embark on board the vessels. The fort, which had ceased firing, be gan again at 10 a.m. of the 28th, and it was an in fernal fire. Garibaldi entered the city late on the 27th with fresh reinforcements. They fought all night near the Palace and St. Giacomo, once the Swiss barracks. There was fighting also with the troops who had been drawn off by a ruse, and who were returning from Monreale, Parco, and Piana dei Greci. All the foreign ships observed the most jealous abstinence, though the commanders were indignant at the bombardment. The Neapolitan , troops fought well, and seem determined to do all the harm they can before leaving Sicily. Gari baldi is said to have threatened to shoot 200 of the most distinguished of his prisoners it Lanzi does not discontinue the bombardment. All sensible per sons regard the affair as virtually over, and resist ance on the part of the troops useless." The following letter, dated the 30th of May, gives some new details respecting the cruelties committed by the Neapolitan soldiery during the bombard ment of Palermo : "Garibaldi really entered Palermo at break of day on the 27th, with about 1,000 followers. He penetrated into the city by the gate nearest to the palace of the Old Kings, and overthrew all the Neapolitan soldiers who attempted to stop his pro gress. Having been supported by 4,000 men who came down from the mountains and the inhabi tants of the city, he soon made himself master of Palermo. The troops opposed but a feeble resistance, and fled into the citadel or on board the ships of war in the port. It was the military commander who apprised the foreign Ad mirals and Consuls that he was about to commence a bombardment. The Consuls retired on board the ships of war of their respective nations, and bomb• shells and every description of incendiary missile were fired against the town. The bombardment lasted more than two days, and, terrible to relate, the soldiers who had fled without fighting uttered shouts of joy from the citadel at every house set on fire. Cries of 'God save the King !' from the sol diers were mingled with the screams of the women and the groans of the wounded. The Neapolitan monarchy has buried itself under a heap of ruins and of dead bodies. I am told that 1,000 of the inhabitants of Palermo have perished during the bombardment. Let us hope that the number is exaggerated. An American ship which has just arrived brings the news that the Neapolitan sol diers in their retreat committed all kinds of atro cities. Having met the wife of a Sicilian leader of insurgents who was flying from Palermo, they covered her with tar and then burnt her to death," Her Majesty's ship Intrepid arrived at Malta on the 2d, bringing news from Palermo to the 31st ult. After the city of Palermo had been bombarded by the royal troops for half a day the Neapolitan General asked an armistice in order to bury the dead, and General Garibaldi and his Adjutant Turr proceeded, on board her Majesty's ship Hannibal, where-a conference of all the superior officers was held, and an armistice of 24 hours was agreed on. Subsequently the Neapolitan General asked that it should be extended to three days, which Garibaldi not only accorded, but offered to prolong it for three weeks. The royal troops still occupied the royal palace, the treasury, and the citadel. The Convent of St. Catherine and many other buildings were destroyed, but Garibaldi was certain of success, all the people being with him. An English steamer had arrived at Marsala from Queenstown, conveying 60 volunteers, 4,000 rifles, and £l,OOO for Garibaldi. Also, a Sardinian steamer, which landed 80 volunteers, 2,000 rifles, and 100,000 cartridges. A reinforcement of 2,000 Italians was hourly expected at Marsala yester day. Garibaldi had erected barricades in different parts of Palermo, and was well supplied with ammunition and projectiles of war. The population of Girgenti, on the 23d of May, voted for a provisional Government, and to the Advocate Bertolini the reins of Government have been confided, since confirmed by General Gari baldi. The Royalist force, which left Girgenti on the 15th of May, and were said to have been sur rounded by the insurgents on the road to Palermo, returned to Girgenti on fhe 20th of May. The Neapolitan garrison of Girgenti, 2,000 strong, left that town on the 23d of May for Messina, and stopped short on their way near Catania. They were badly off for provisions, and helped them selves from the peasantry. Many have since d. - serted. The Provisional Government has already abolished several taxes imposed by the King. The Nazione, of Florence, positively states that Orsini, stated by the Giornale di Roma to have been killed in the late attempt of a band of insurgents to enter the Roman territory, is alive and well. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. Both the Patrie and the Pays states that the last despatches from Sicily positively announce that the armistice had been indefinitely prolonged. This resolution has given rise to the supposition that the Sicilian revolution has become a matter of diplomatic negotiations. The Emperor has just decided that the members of his Privy Council shall for the future have the rank of Ministers ; they arc to take place after the Ministers as regards functions, and among them selves according to the order of their nomination. M. Edouard Fould has been appointed Chef du Cabinet of the Minister of State, and M. Pelletier, Secretary-General of the Ministry of State, has been named Secretary of the Imperial Family Council.

The United States Mail steamship Fulton, Cap tain Wotton, arrived off Cowes early, this morning with the French and English mails, and dates from New York to the 26th ult. The Persia, from Liverpool the 12th, arrived out on the 23d, at three p.m. Advices from Vera Cruz contain the important intelligence that Zuloaga had issued a decree on the Ist deposing Miramon and assuming the Presi dency of Mexico himself. It is stated that this movement had caused great alarm, Uraga, at the head of 6,000 Liberal troops, was at Guanaguato on the sth inst., preparing to attack the capital. In Congress, on the 25th, the Senate resumed the consideration of the so-called Davis resolutions, relative to the protection of slavery in the terri tories, and, after some discussion, the balance of the series was adopted by a strict party vote. These resolutions were adopted by a caucus of 300 Demo cratic Senators on the 25th of February last, and they have now received an official endorsement. ".They derive," says the Herald," additional import ance from the circumstance that they will in all pro bability form the basis of the Southern Secession Democratic Convention, which Meets at Richmond on the 11th of June. The Senate Bill providing for the return of cap tured negroes to Africa has been referred to the Judiciary Committee. The Japanese were engaged on the 25th in re ceiving members of Congress and their wives, in accordance with previous arrangement. The Am bassadors also dined with the President. Intelligence from Salt Lake says the investiga tion into the affairs of Dr. Forney, the Superinten dent of Indian Affairs, charged with malfeasance in office, was progreSsing and creating considerable excitement among the Gentiles. Twelve days had been exhausted in the investigation, but nothing, it was alleged, had been elicited to sustain the charges. The news of the organization of the new Mor mon Church by young Joe Smith had reached Utah, and did not cause any considerable excite ment among the elders ; they contend that young Smith's mother is at the head of the movement. A heavy snow storm had occurred at Salt Lake and vicinity, causing several hundred thousand dollars' damage to the fruit trees and crops. The Indians of the northern part of the territory in the Bear River region, who have been for a long time troublesome to the whites, have sent in a dele gation to propose terms of peace. In Congress the Senate Bill, providing for a line of telegraph from the Atlantic to the Pacific, was discussed. A motion to lay the bill on the table was defeated by a vote of 80 to 91. The bill providing for the shipment of negroes captured on board slavers to their homes in Africa was passed. The President has, e cntered into an arrangment with the Colonisation Society for the return of the Africans captured by the Mohawk and Wyandotte. The sum of 50,000 is to be paid to the society for the service. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MAY 25, EVENING, 6 P.m. The money-market remains in the same dull, in• animate condition. There is a marked scarcity of paper. Many acceptances would go readily at 41 per cent. if they could be had. Business is not active ; merchants have more money and need less accommodation than usual. If our trade were as actively proportionate as that of England, money would be worth 7 to 8 per cent. on short paper. There has been a moderate business done in foreign exchange to-day for the Fulton. The current rate for bankers' bills ranges from 1091 to 4, some un• doubted bills being in the market at -a ; for francs 5.13 i to 121 are asked. The supply of commercial bills is very limited, and bankers are somewhat embarrassed to cover their exchange. The Ful ton takes about 1,000,000 dols. in specie for France and England, about 100,000 dols. of which will be silver. The market was stronger . to-day, and nearly every stock on the list higher, closing firm, at— Virginia Sixes, 921 to 93 ; Missouri Sixes, 841 to 84t- ; Canton, 21 to 211 ; Pacific Mail, 891 to 90 ; New York Central, 82f.,' to 821 ; Erie, 22 to 22-, 7 ; Hudson River, 49Z. to 50; Harlem, 131 to 131 ; ditto Preferred, 41k to 411; Reading, 42-2 to 427- ; Michigan Central, 53 to 531; ditto Southern and Northern Indiana, 12 to 121 ; ditto Guaranteed, 241 to 251 ; Panama, 1341 to 136 ; Illinois Central, 641 to 641 ; Galena and Chicago, 65 to 651 Cleveland and Toledo, 31 to 311 ; Chicago and Rock Island, 70a to 70'4. The cotton market steady. Sales embraced 600 to 800 bales. Flour opened with more appearance of firm ness, but large receipts, especially for State and western, prevented an advance, and the market closed at former quotations. Wheat firm ; sales to a fair extent, including parcels for export. Corn was heavy, and lower for some descriptions Pork was firmer, with rather mere doing. Sugars firm and active, with sales of 1,900 hhds. 60 boxes, and 210 hhds. Melado coffee unchanged, sales moderate. Freights firm, and room rather scarce.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. LIFE IN Till HAYMARKET. - Mr. Henry James, Kruter, 31, Piccadilly, and Mr. John Henry Smith, 11, Stanley-street, Pimlico, solicitors, were charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance in the Haymarket. A constable proved seeing the defendants trying to fore. their way into the Turkish Divan this morning about three, and, upon their being refused admission owing to the state they were in, they appealed to a large crowd of low and disorderly persons, and the consequence was a very great disturbance. The defendant Smith said they had taken more wine than did them good. Mr. Beadon said it was monstrous. Gentlemen, as they appeared to be, ought to know beAer than be assisting a crowd of blackguards in kicking up a row, Fined 208. each or a month. William Wetheridge and James Wetheridge, 7, Riding House-lane, Sarah Jones, Waterloo-terrace, John Edward Dwyer, surgeon, 2, St. Peter's-street, Islington, George Anderson, clerk, 2, Manor-place, and another person who refused his address, was next charged with fighting together in the Haymarket, the charge arising out of the former one. Sergeant Allen, 20 C, proved seeing the prisoners fight ing in the Haymarket, with about 400 persons round them. The row was, he believed, got up for the purpose of felony, complaints being afterwards made of a watch being stolen at the time. He had never seen such a scene in the Hay market before—there being at least a dozen couples fighting together at one time. Mr. Beadon said it was really too bad, and if those scenes continued he would send every one that came before him for a month. Fined 20s. each, or a month. THIS DAYS SHIPPING.

ALLEGED MURDER AND OUTRAGE ON A -SER ' VANT.—Yesterday, Mr. Bedford, the coroner at the St. George's Workhouse, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, brought to a conclusion an inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Mahala Howard, aged 18, a domestic servant in the service of Mr. Poole, of 9, Devonshire-place, Wandsworth-road, who was found dead in the river last Wednesday morning, near Cubitt's-pier, Pimlico, with marks of violence on her person, which led to the belief that the unfortunate young woman had been the subject of an outrage immediately before her death. The discovery and identity of the body having been proved, Dr. Bloaham, of Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, deposed that he had made a poet mortem examination, which showed that the deceased had been in her eighth week of pregnancy, and it was his opinion that she had had a miscarriage. He had no doubt but that the deceased h a d b een the suject of a most violent outrage immediately before her death, or within 24 hours at the utmost. There were several discolourations on the body, which might have been the result of direct violence ; and also four slight bruises on the left side of the forehead, and a large bruise on the left knee. The coroner, in sum ming up, said the evidence was very unsatisfactory as to how the deceased got into the river, but they had sufficient evidence to prove that the unfortunate girl had been vio lated in a most cruel and dreadful manner shortly before her death. The jury returned a verdict to the following effect :—" That the deceased was found drowned, with marks of violence." Several of the jury expressed surprise that such an outrage should have been committed almost in broad daylight. TUE STORM IN HOLLAND.—ROTTERDAM, June 4.—The English papers have given some account—though a very imperfect one—of the damage caused by the Whit sunday storm in the Netherlands. In the beautiful wood of the Hague some 300 trees were uprooted, and propor tionate damage has been done throughout the whole extent of the country. Immense losses have also been sustained by the marine assurance offices, and many portions of wrecked vessels, the crews of which have disappeared, are driving hourly on the shore. On the little steamer plying between Rotterdam and Capella about 50 persons lost their lives, the steamer having been overturned. The Scotch steamer Therese, which was run on s h ore at S c h even i ngen in consequenceef a leakage in her b o il er, h as b een got o ff, and is now in dock at Rotterdam. The passengers and crew were saved with great difficulty. When they reached the shore, many of them with only their night clothes, and all else lost, they found no one able to understand them— only the wreckers, whose object was to plunder them of whatever they might be able to pick up. In this dilemma an English gentleman appeared on the beach, and rendered great service to the poor creatures by providing them with whatever comforts could be commanded. He sent his car riage to fetch a poor woman, imperfectly clad, with her in fant child, and a kind-hearted lady to provide her with whatever she required. To this gentleman and lady, who most zealously endeavoured to alleviate the distresses of the poor ship -wrecked passengers and crew, great praise is due ; but it was an action which might be expected of Lord and Lady Napier. CAMPAIGNING IN ALGERIA.--A private letter, received from a French soldier in Africa, speaks of a fresh revolt among the Arabs,which does not appear to have been allowed to transpire through the Paris press. He states that his regiment embarked at Oran, where they were in garrison, for Algiers, which they left on the 2d of last month. Since then, up to the date of this letter, the 20th of May, they have made marches of from seven to eight leagues a-day under a burning sun. On one occasion they crossed a river 6 times in one day, with water up to the middle. The troops complain of a stifling heat by day and of intense cold at night. The commissariat seems to have b-eken down, for the men are rationed on biscuits, and aro oft ,n in want of water—an instance which the writer ad duces of the deprivations the men have to endure. A corps d arinde, or rather a column, composed of 5,000 or 6,000 men, is formed, destined, it was reported in the camp, then at Setiff, to act against the Arabs, who had revolted some days previously. The troops were to leave Setiff on the u 3 n ls k t n o o f w n. May T thberMila,bs a to p after pear w which be thei rvery i d ,a e r s destination having as tion w been reduced to submission or to have lost c nfidence, for they have assumed the offensive. The letter speaks of a recent attack by the Arabs in which 14 officers of the Bth mentions Horse threeeur s s oweredi soldiers rs having killed, and been several Z decoratedoua conduct in the field. The, campaign, it is hoped, will be terminated before the month of August. es . for l t t their
