One of the many episodes of last night's proceed ings in the House of Commons will give much satisfaction to the country. In answer to a ques tion put by Sir F. Baring, Lord Palmerston pro mised to take into consideration the bestowal of a suitable reward on Sir L. M'Clintock, who dis covered the relics of Sir John Franklin's expedi tion. The subject of a monument to the unfortu nate commander himself was also broached, and the result will be that the self-sacrifice of Frank lin and his gallant companions will be duly com memorated in some public place or some sacred edifice. The justice of thus honouring these brave dead is, of course, beyond dispute ; and we think that the proposition respecting a reward to Captain M'Clintock will receive as ready an assent. It is the peculiar greatness of this country that its high achievements are not exclusively due to the im pulse of the State. If a Livingstone explores unknown regions, and raises by his discoveries the character of a continent, he does it without Government aid, as the emissary of a private society, volunteering in the cause of science and religion. So with Captain M'Clintock. The Government had refused, and rightly refused, to send out another expedition to the North Pole. The certainty of Franklin's death had been esta blished, both by the length of time that had elapsed and by the narratives of the aborigines, and the Admiralty could not in justice demand of officers and seamen that they should risk their lives merely to satisfy the curiosity of the public, though such curiosity was legitimate, and we all of us feel gratified at learning at last how the brave explorer died, and what was the end of his still more unhappy survivors. So it was a case for private effort, for the liberality of domestic affection, for the boldness of individual enterprize. That Lady Franklin and her friends should send out the yacht Fox, and that Captain M'Clintock should take command of the little vessel, and with a handful of men penetrate into the most desolate regions on the track of the lost navigators, that he should do all that he aimed at, and lift, the veil which covered their fate—that this, one of the most daring and romantic achievements of our time, should be performed without the aid of public money or Ministerial support, are events charac teristic of this country. It is the English way of doing things, and as long as it is so the energy and Public spirit of the race will survive. But when the thing is done then comes the graceful function of the Crown. To recognise by public honours What has been accomplished by private zeal and enterprise is a principle sanctioned among us, and in accordance - sith which Sir L. M'Clintock will eceive his well-deserved reward.-2imes. 25 Blythe and Tyne 1( pert C. pref. (issued at £50) I J Stk Bris. & Exet.4p.ct.Stock j2O Do. do. do.

A CASE FOR ANOTHER COURT.—James Simpson, of 90, Great Portland-street, tailor, was brought before Mr. Bingham, on a warrant, by O'Shaughnessy, one of the warrant officers, charged as follows : Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, who appeared for the complainant, Mrs. Letilia Simpson, wife of the de fendant, said that his client had recently been married to the defendant, who had given way to habits of intempe rance, and when in that state assaulted his wife in a most brutal manner. Mrs. Simpson was possessed of some pro perty, and because she would not allow him to dispose of it as he thought fit, her husband treated her with the greatest violence. The case would probably hereafter be brought before another court. Mrs. Simpson, a very respectable-looking person, said that, on Thursday night, the defendant, who was intoxi cated, struck her a severe blow in the mouth, cutting her lips completely through, and causing a quantity of blood to flow, and this he followed up by a severe blow in the chest. He had threatened her many times with violence, and she went in fear that he would carry his threats into execution. Defendant offered no denial to the charge, but said his excuse must be "too much drink." Mr. Bingham said he must take the consequences, and be secured like anybody else. Mr. Lewis said he was in a respectable position of life. Mr. Bingham then ordered the defendant to find two sureties in £4O, or one in £SO, to be of good behaviour for the next six months.

MARINN SWINDLER 4.— Robert Wyatt and Thomas Atherton, seamen, were charged with obtaining, by means of false pretences, two pilot coats, 2 pairs of trousers, 2 waistcoats, 2 black silk handkerchiefs, 2 cloth caps, 1 cap cover, and Bs. in silver, the property and monies of Moses Lazarus, a Jew outfitter, of 32, Upper East Smithfield. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoners had lately arrived in a ship from the West Indies, where they received an ad vance. The voyage was a short one, and the prisoners only had to receive a balance of 265. or 275. cash when the ship -vas paid off. They represented to the pro secutor that their wages amounted to £ll or £l2 each; and on the faith simply of this representation Lazarus supplied them with a new suit of clothes each and other articles, which they had not the means to pay for, and never in tended to pay for. They were arrested as they were about to leave London in a steamer bound to Hull. Each of the prisoners were wearing his new rig-out in the dock, and both looked very smart. Mr. Lazarus said that he was informed by the prisoners' shipmates that they declared, a fortnight before they came on shore, that it was their intention to obtain a suit of clothes each from some outfitter, and never pay for them. The prisoners said the Jew's runner came,on board ship and forced them to have the clothes which they did not want. Mr. Yardley was afraid the prisoners were a couple of shabby fellows, but, as he had frequently observed, clothiers were too anxious to do business at any risk, and there was too much pressing of sailors to deal with them. The profits of clothiers must be very great, when they gave credit so easily. lie remanded the prisoners. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

PRESERVATION OF HOUSEHOLD STORES.—The throwing open to the public large manufacturing works in the provinces has been found, by bringing the consumer and the producer in more close proximity, to tend to per manent good. So, in like manner, have the promulgations of certain legitimate facts connected with trade, led to a better understanding between large firms and their cus tomers. Of the latter kind an instance has just come before us in the shape of a circular issued by one of the agents for Messrs. Ind, Coope. and Co., of the Romford Brewery, the usefulness of whieh induces us to insert it in our columns. We believe there is scarcely one housekeeper in a thousand who knows how to manage an article of such general con sumption as beer, so as to insure having it always in a proper and wholesome condition for drinking, but new blames the cellar and now the brewer for that which is within his own reach to remedy. The circular above• men tioned states " that those ales should be laid in during the months of Meech and April, in such quantities as will sup ply the respective establishments through the hot summer months—the removal of ale in the hot weather causing the beer to fret and become acid." A bona fide hint like this occasionally as to the preservation of household stores would be equally acceptable from the butcher, the baker, and others.— United Service Gazette. MINES.—The Mining Share Market has been moderately active, and the settlement of the fortnightly account, which took place on Wednesday, was rather heavy, and money more abundant than shares in some cases. Pen deen shares have been greatly in demand, and the mine bids fair to take an important position, though hitherto the calls have been more numerous than expected. At the meeting this week no call was required, the balance being £1,037 in favour of the company ; and as the mine is now working to a profit, it is hoped that calls have ceased, and before long that dividends will take their place. Shares, after a good business, lea ve of 41- to 5. North Robert, 3 1 to 31. East Basset have been in great demand, and no shares offered ; the price leaves off 1571 to 1621.-21/ 1 ning Journal of this day. It is understood that Mr. Wilson will forthwith introduce his measure for the Indian note circulation into the Legislative Council at Calcutta, three months after which it will become law, if in the meantime the sanction of the home authorities is received. DESPERATE SUICIDE BY A FEMALE.—Yesterday Mr. Payne held an inquest at the Britannia Tavern, South wark Bridge-road, on Mrs. Julia Pledger, aged 45, who resided in Bean-street, Friar-street, Blackfriars-road. The husband of the deceased worked at Mr. Burton's, the builder, iu Aldersgate-street, and was, it is said, a hard-working, industrious man. The deceased being given to habits of intemperance he was compelled to leave her. On Wednes day morning, on her son going down stairs, he discovered the unfortunate woman hanging from the balusters by a rope. On the table was the following letter :—" Dear Rus band,—l hope you will be kind to the children, and by the time you receive this letter I shall be no more. I hope you will forgive me for my wicked acts. My feelings are hurt at your doings. Good bye, and God bless you.—Yours, JULIA. PLEDGEn." Verdict—Temporary Insanity. DESPERATE SUICIDE AT KENTISH TOWN.— Yesterday morning a most desperate act of suicide was perpetrated by Mr. John Kemp, poulterer and cheese monger in an extensive way of business, of Moreton-ter race, Kentish •town-road. Mr. Kemp, who had had a very restless night, left his bed about five o'clock to go to New • gate-market, as usual. Some time after one of his em ployes, on going into the back kitchen, found the unfor tunate man weltering in a pool of blood, with his throat cut in a shocking manner. Mr. 11. Reeve, surgeon, of More ton-terrace, and other medical mon, were sent for and promptly arrived, and pronounced life extinct. The wound was a desperate one, completely severing"th e w i n d p ip e , an d had been inflicted by a penknife, which was found near the body: No cause could be assigned for the committal of the rash act. _ _ -- A meeting of the Bank of Egypt was held yes terday,in the chair, when the report Mr. W. Tito, M.P., was adopted unanimously, and a dividend declared for the year 1859 of 7 per cent. free of ineome•tax. The business of the bank was announced to be steadily increasing, and the commercial relations between Egypt and this country to be generally growing in importance. A satisfactory movement has taken place in the exchange, the rate, which on the 30th of June .last was 98 to (971 being par), having fallen to 95 to 4 on the Ist of December, or 3 per per cent. in favour of the bank. There has since been a partial action to 96. The management was stated to be prudently and carefully conducted, the directors especially desiring to have a safe and not speculative business. Tho bank con • tinues to enjoy good credit in Egypt, and to receive the support of the Government. The new branch at Cairo answers extremely well, the profit in the second half of 1859 having exceeded £4,000, against about £l,lOO in the previous six mouths. Measures have been taken for re ducing the expenditure, which is still high, but not rela tively so, considering the climate and other circumstances. Allusion was also made to the treasury bonds issued by the Egyptian Government, which had led to the report of the bank having made a loan to the Pacha. Some of these bonds are still held, but not to a large amount, and it was mentioned that they are considered an undoubted security, and that not only have they been punctually met on falling due, but occasionally have even been paid in advance. TILE VOLUNTEER LEVEE.—We (North British Daily Mail) understand that the railways have agreed to accept of one fare to and from London from volunteer officers going from this district to attend her Majesty's levee on Tuesday next. Officers will get tickets at half-fare, on pre senting their commissions to the railway clerks, the ticket to be available from the sth to the 10th inst. TIEE SWORD FISII.—A proof of the extraordinary power of this fish may be seen in the Arab, one of - Captain Wood's vessels, engaged in the African trade, and now un dergoing repairs at Fogarty 's-wharf, Bristol. The fish ap- Ware to have driven its sword through a Llouble sheathing of copper, a plank 21 inches thiok, and deep into one of the ship's timbers when the weapon broke short off. 71I1S DAYS MARKETS.

She had the presence of mind to throw herself on the floor, and Captain Macdonald being provi dentially in the room, he succeeded, by means of the hearth rug, in extinguishing the flames ; but it was with the utmost difficulty that the gallant captain succeeded in his endeavours, owing to the inflammable material of the young lady's dress. Th e fi r e was not extinguished until her arms, and even her hair, wore scorched ; and the cap tain's own eyebrows, e yelashes, and whiskers were likewise much burnt. It is worthy of remark that the other young lady had also baen twice on fire during the last three weeks, and has also been saved by prompt assistance. It is quite surprising NI such negligence should prevail where the probabilities of so terrible a . calamity as death by fire are meurred.—Brightom Guard i an. BRITISH MINES.

Bruce, Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, hoisted his flag,at the fore of the Victory yes terday morning, eceiving the customary salute from the flagship. The St. Vincent, flagship of Rear-Admiral Su perinte, dent Hon. G. Grey, also saluted the flag of the gallant Admiral with lo guns, the Victory returning th• honour u:th 11. The Hero, 91, screw, Capt. G. H. Sey mour, C. 8., A.D.C., senior pendant at Spithead, saluted the flag at the same time. The garrison battery fired their com plimentary salute at 1 p.m. The Here, 91, screw, Capt. George H. Seymour, C. 8., A.D.C., left Spithead yesterday afternoon, under canvas?, for Lisbon. At 6 p.m. she passed Bembridge Ledge, stand ing out under all plain sail, with moderate breeze, westerly; weather fine. The Euryalus, Capt. Tarleton, C. 8., will steam into Portsmouth harbour this morning from Spithead. The screw frigate Galatea, 26, 800-horse power, fitting for the steam reserve at Chatham, will be undockcd on Friday next. The screw steamship Royal William, 91, having received her machinery at Keyham, was taken out of the basin on Thursday, and put into the basin at Devonport dockyard to be rigged, and placed in the steam reserve. The steamship Sanspareil, 70, Capt. Wilmot, C. 8., got up steam at Plymouth on Wednesday, and proceeded to Pembroke, where she will land 100 men t r assist in getting out the Howe, 121. and then proceed to Queenstown. The screw steamship Trafalgar, 91, Captain Fenshawe, from Torbay, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday, and proceeded immediately into Hamaoze for the purpose of repairing, at the Devon:port dockyard, the damages received in the Channel durt d g the recent severe storm. The following vessels comprise the four divisions of the steam reserve at Portsmouth : First Division—Duke of Wellington, 131, screw; Co lossus, 80, screw ; Princess Royal, 91, screw—liners ; Shan non, 51, sere*; Bacchante, 51, screw—frigates; Hornet, 17, scre:( ; Volcano, 6, paddle—sloops; Brazen, Beaver, Rl:inbow, Snapper, Grinder, and Traveller—gunboats. Second Division—Royal Sovereign, 131, screw; Victoria, 121, screw; Prince of Wales, 131, screw; Duncan, 101, screw—liners ; Immortalite, 51, screw frigate ; Megmra, screw troop frigate ; Harier, 17, screw ; Medea, 6, paddle ; Stromboli, 6, paddle ; Bulldog, 6, paddle ; Ariel, 9, screw ; Coquette, 6, screw—sloops ; Blazer, Craokcr, Fancy, Swinger, and Pincher—gunboats.

Fourth Division—Fox, screw troop frigate; Penelope, 22, paddle frigate ; Alban, 4, paddle ; Lucifer, paddle ; Wallace, paddle ; Malabar, coal depot ; Erebus, Meteor, and Glatton, floating batteries. Of the above, excluding the gunboats, the only vessels available for immediate service are—ln the First Division : Guns. Horse Power. Duke of Wellington .. 131 700 Colossus ..... 80 400 Shannon 5l 600 Bacchs nte 5l 600 Second Division— Royal Sovereign 444 .. 3,100 Giving a total of 444 gins and 3,100 nominal horse power available for instant service. Several of the other vessels are in a very forward state, and only require being taken in hand by the staff of the steam factory to complete them in their machinery. The vessels belonging to the reserve in the steam basin are the Guns. Horse Power. Victoria (screw) Prince of Wales (screw) l3l 800 ‘, Duncan (screw) Immortalite (screw) 5l 600 401 3,200 giving, in new vessels now receiving their machinery, 404 guns and 3,200 nominal horse power of engines.

This makes a total of those vessels now available, and in the hands of the steam factory staff, of six liners, three frigates, and six sloops, carrying 896 guns, and of 7,790 nominal horse power of engines. The Megrera troopship is nearly com plete for service. The Fox troop frigate, of 200-horse power, has lain so long up the harbour, ever since she was fitted with her machinery, that it is difficrlt to form an opinion as to her readiness for sea. The majority of the gunboats are fit for immediate service, and there are up wards of 40 at Haslar-yard, all in a forward state. The great obstacle to the rapid outfit of our steam ships of war at Portsmouth is the limited area of its steam-basin, and a .....,natueat power on its quays tor hoisting heavy machinery. THE AR311% Lieut.-Col. Charles Morris, C. 8., has been selected by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge to fill the post of Assistant-Inspector of VoluntGer Artillery. Upwards of 60 non-commissioned officers and men of the 53rd Regiment, who have recently arrived at the invalid depot, Chatham, from India, having been sent home on ac count of sickness or disability, have joined the depot of that regiment at Chatham Barracks during the last few days, the whole of that number having been pronounced convalescent and fit for further service. A. number of the troops who arrived from India in the Theresa, from Cal cutta, have been discharged from the service at St. Mary's Barracks without pensions, the men, to the number of about 300 of all ranks, having completed the period of ser vice for which they enlisted, 10 and 12 years, preferring to give up all claims to a pension, and claiming their discharge rather than serve the few years longer which would have entitled them to a pension for life. Brevet-Major Cooke, of the Plymouth Division of Royal Marines, is under orders to proceed to the School of Musketry at llythe, to qualify as an Instructor of Musketry. Capt. Hunt, and three sergeants, three corporals, and one private, Royal Marines, were under orders to proceed yes terday (Friday) to London, from Plymouth, to raise recruits for that division. The Indiana, hired screw-steam transport, sailed him Portsmouth for Gibraltar and Corfu, as announced in The Sun of yesterday, at six p.m. The following are the names of the officers embarked : —Royal Artillery—Lieut. C. Ire land ; Detachment 9th Foot—Major G. H. Hawes. Capts. W. P. Terry, wife, and child ; W. C. Harvey, wife, and child; Lieuts. H. G. H. Grubbe, R. Roberts, and B. V. Laya.rd ; Ensigns A. F. P. Cosens,:Queale, and Greer, Pay master Sievright, wife, and three children ; and Assistant- Surgeon J. C. Ovens, in medical charge. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, having had under consideration a general return of the rifle practice of the Royal Marines between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 1359, and the position in order of merit that each division would have occupied if classed with her Majesty's army, have been 'leased to signify their great satisfaction at the proficiency attained by the officers, non-commissioned officers, and pri vates in this important branch of their duty, which afforded a proof of the zeal and attention paid in carrying out the system of musketry instruction at the several head-quarters. The Brilliant, 20, one of the vessels fitted by order of the Admiralty as a training ship for the Naval Coast Volun teers, has been towed from Chatham by the African and Adder steamers, and will be stationed in the Thames at Blackwell. The Castor, 36, the other vessel selected by the Admiralty for this service, is to be taken in hand at once at Chatham, and when finished will be stationed at Green hi t he. The following letter has been addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty by Major-General Sir C. T. Van Strau benzee " Head-quarters, Hongkong, Jan. 14. "Sir,—The brigade of Royal Marine Light Infantry having front its reduced numbers been bpi tiled, in accord ance with instructions, into one battalion, I think it my duty to request you will be pleased to convey to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty my sense of the good order, efficiency, and discipline of the two battalions composing the brigade, which reflect credit not only upon Col. Hollo way, C 713., commanding the brigade, and officers command ing, but also upon the officers belonging to the two batta lions. " The forbearance of the non-commissioned officers and men on and since the capture, and their general extremely good conduct daring the two years the allies have occupied the city of Canton, have been most creditable to them as soldiers and to the corps to which they belong, and are de serving of the approbation I have now the honour to ex press, and which will, I am satisfied, be gratifying to their lordships.

PROM THE CORRESPONDENT OP TILE DAILY NEWS. RLMINI, FEB. 24. Had the supporters of the temporal power of his: Tidiness followed Farini in his triumphant journe, through the Emilian provinces, an opportunity would havesbeen offered to them of revising their, opinion about the sentiments by which the Romag nols are- animated. Here, as well as at Ferrara, Lugo, Ravenna, and Cesena, the outburst of popular enthusiasm for the representative of Victor. Emma nuel's authority was too manifest, too solemn, Lobe mistaken. Had the Marquis of Normanby been present at the demonstration effete(' last night by.. the people of this town to the Governor-General within the walls of their magnifieent theatre, I think he would have been converted. Our former ambassador at Florence may quote as long as he likes the cor - respondence of the clerical papers, or his friends' letters, but the eloquence of facts is too much for him. There has bcen no got up or official , enthusiasm ; the very simplicity of the public fes tivities is the most striking proof of their sincerity. Farini has been received as your Queen would have been.were she unexpectedly to arrive in one of your towns, in a manner in fact in which Popes and dukes have never been received here in our century. I was myself present when the Governor-General made his appearance in the vast theatre, which by the way is one of the most splendid buildings of the kind I ever saw. The large and lofty edifice, which, although modern, presents the aspect of an ancient Roman theatre, was thronged by a crowd which, considering the population of • Rimini, about 16,000 souls, one migh call impos ing. Venetian mastshad been placed on each side of the stage, and over them the national colours were floating, with the arms of the House of Savoy in their centre. On the, appearance of Farini in the large box on the second tier a shower of green, white, and red papers fell upon the crowd in the pit. On those papers sonnets and epigramshad been , printed in honour of the.man who by his civic cou rage and wisdom had snatched the Legations from the grasp of-the Vatican. It is difficult to describe t hepopular excitement at that moment—excitement the principal element of which was the joyful feeling of escape from the worst government that ever af flicted humanity. To form an exact idea of the cha racter of the Roman rule in these late yearrs, it is necessary to come here and talk with all classes of the people themselves. There are facts which no man in England would believe, and which I should not have believed were not the proofs offered to me, and had I not been permitted to read the official documents which confirm them. Yesterday Marquis Rork the Intendente of Ravenna, was kind enough to show me the original sentence by which the famous Legate a latere Rivasola condemned 500 in dividuals of that town to the police surveillance. By one article of that sentence those persons were also subjected to the obligation of presenting every month a certificate from the rector of their parish, proving that they attended confession and com munion, thus turning the sacraments of the Chris tian religion into an aggravation of a penal sen tence. It is necessary to observe that out of the 500 persons put under the surveillance of the police, 300 were Notoriously bad characters, who, from the fear of being arrested, were induced to.eontess and communicate, although they knew it was for them an act of barefaced sacrilege. Between a sacrilege and the Papal prisons they did not, however, hesi tate a moment. It is unnecessary for me to com ment upon such an application of religious obser vances. Moreover, this is but one, and not the most iniquitious, of the numerous chapters of Papal misrule. The Governor-General will leave this town in two hours' time for Cesena and Forli. At the lat ter of these places he will pass the night, and by to,morrow evening he will arrive at Bologna, after having paid a short visit to the towns of Faenza, Castel Bolognese, and Timola. AN ITALIAN SECRET SOCIETY. FORLI, FEB, 25. Before leaving Rimini I had made up my mind to stop a few hours at Cesena, for I was anxious to see with my own eyes Zow Farini would be aeceived in that ancient city, which still retains the name of the last town of Cisalpine Gaul on the tEmilian Way. Cesena had acquired such a character for turbulence and ferocity that it was really worth while to learn whether mat ters had changed since the establishment of a national and liberal Government. To judge of the evils brought about by the government of the priests in that city it is sufficient to bear in mind that during the course of the last five years more than 60 political assassinations had occurred 1 within its walls. These black deeds were per petrated with impunity by a secret society, which, under the pretence of ser wing the cause of liberty, not seldom mercilessly revenged some private wrong. Although in more than one instance these horrid crimes had been perpetrated in broad daylight, the Papal police had never been able to discover the assassins. Public opinion pointed to them, but either through fear or through conni vance they were never arrested. The majority of the persons tnus slain in the streets of Cesena were bad characters, spies of the Papal police, or men who had turned evidence against their poli tical friends ; the rest were poor fellows who had had the misfortune of displeasing one mem ber or another of the secret association. I have been told that the mysterious power of this ter rible society not seldom reached a treacherous brother even across the British Channel or the Atlantic Ocean. The present liberal Government, howeverr, has made up for the incapacity of its predecessor, and done itself the honour of avenging the victims of this bloodthirsty association. At the end of last June Count Guidi, the Mayor of Cesena, was return ing home when he was assaulted by two men near the Archb 'shop's palace. He was cruelly dealt with, and left on the ground insensible. The authors of this fresh outrage thinking themselves safe did not hesitate to speak about it at a wine shop to which they afterwards repaired. The consequence of this was that the two men were arrested in a few days, and subjected to a strict examination. One of them was led to confess that both he and his com panion belonged to the secret society above-men tioned, and that they had assaulted the gonfaloniere, having been ordered to do so by their chiefs. At first it was difficult to obtain from them the names of their associates, such was the fear they evinced of being mtardered when free. But at last they spoke, and about 20 persons_of Cesena and the surrounding villages were arrested by Farini's order. Amongst these persons there are three officers, who, after Villafranca, had entered the army of Central Italy. Majer Valgania is of the number, and from what I hear it seems he really was the acknowledged chief of the assassins. This an belongs to an honourable family of Cesena, but in consequence of his misconduct, he had become an associate of all sorts of bad characters, and so been brought into the disgraceful position in which he now finds himself. When the war broke out he entered as a volunteer in one of Garibaldi's regiments, and having distinguished himself, he was afterwards appointed major in the Romagna. In a few days I hope to be able to send you some interesting de tails about these wretches, who for so many years have been the scourge of their native town. Now let me ask once more on whom must fall the responsibility of tteic crimes ? Were they not the logical consequence of the bad and immoral govern ment of Rome ? Could such atrocities have been perpetrated with impunity in a well-ruled country ? You see that I am always forced to come to the same conclusion. Under the government of Papal legates we find assassinations, d epre d at i ons , immorality of all kinds; the liv es an d property of the peaceful citizens unprotected. As soon as the Government of his Holiness is overthrown—as soon as the Papal Legate leaves a town or a province the liberal Go vernment makes the law respected. Criminals are discovered and order is re-established. This fact, so often noticed by your correspondent, is not ignored by the now happy population of the Romagna, who in warmly greeting the arrival of Farini know that they are exalting the man who has broght their community from a state of something like barbarism to one of civilisation. This was the main cause of the a t Cesena this morning, f or every eiti n e en thusiastic receptio n of the G overnor General of th e e Em t it L il t his peace and security were insured z by the wise and determined measures adopted by their illustrious countryman. Now that Cessna has got rid of those assassins much may be hoped from her. Already, though numbering only 8,686 inhabitants, she has given t o th e nat i ona l army 800 volunteers, 600 of whom are still in its ranks. Bad governments make bad institutiona, and bad insti tutions bad citi zens. Let the generous ' instincts of the Romagnols freely develop themselves, and you will see that within a period of a few years all traces of this demoralisation will disappear. For the arri val of Farini a sp'endid banquet had been prepared at the Palazzo Pubblico, where tables had been laid out in a large saloon, whose walls were adorned with the masterpieces of Guercino and Francesco Francia. Entablatures of red satin were suspended on its walls ornamented with elegant arabesques. The two entrances to this magnificent saloon were lined with heavy silk curtains, the centre of each exhibiting the time-honoured escutcheon of the Malatesta family. All the principal families of the town and neighbourhood were represented, and at the right hand of Farini, and opposite to him, sat the two Princes Chiaramonte, nephews and heirs of Pius VIII.
