The attendance at Tattersall's this afternoon was ver small, and the business transacted was of so trifling im portance that the prices of the leading favourites may be said to remain unaltered. Next week, however, it is ex pected that business will be resumed with great spirit: POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BOXING DAY AND ITS RESULTS.—A large number of cases, the usual result of Boxing Day, came before the magistrate (Mr. Tyrwhitt) this morning, and where only drunkeness was charged, the worthy magistrate disposed of the cases by discharging the offenders—many of whom pleaded the day in excuse, and bore marks of disfigurement from fighting or falling about. In several cases the offenders had further misconducted themselves by adding to the lesser offence, that of assault on the'police. In one case in which four men named Crawley, Ryan, Stagden, and Henwell, and a female named Mary Cullen, were charged with assaulting the police, and Cullen with biting the constable, the woman said she could not have bitten the officer, because she hadn't a tooth in her head. The men were fined 10s., or 14 days each, aryl the woman ss. or seven days. The other cases of assault were disposed of by the inflic tion of fines commensurate with the gravity of the charges, some of them being of a very serious nature. PICKING A POCKET AT THE GBraeAN FAIR.—Ann Cook, a middle-aged female, was charged by Tucker, of the C division, with picking the pocket of a female named Harriet Jeffreys of a needlecase, and, pleading distress, was re manded for a week. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. Yesterday was another grand but at the same time almost a fatal day to many persons who visited the Serpentine in Hyde-park. Upwards of 10,000 persons were congregated there at one time, and amongst the number were several members of the Skating Club, and some of the non-commissioned officers of the Coldstream and Scots Fusilier Guards. The appeal ance of the latter mingling with the fair sex, and taking parts in qnadrilles performed on the ice, had a very gay effect. Several exciting skating matches were gone through during the day for sums of money, and at night fall lighted flambeaux, and coloured fires were employed to con tinue the proceedings, and some scores of link bearers were engaged in showing lights for the skaters to pursue their evolutions. The ice in this park is 32 inches in thickness, but owing to the large number who went upon it eleven persons were tripped and thrown down by the skaters and their heads cut. They were taken to the Royal Humane Society's receivin g-house, and their wounds were dressed by Mr. Superintendent Williams and Mr. Young the secretary. Mr. John Gormoday, of 32, Kennerton-street, broke through the ice, but was rescued and taken to the receiving -house, where he had a warm bath and stimulants, and was ena bled to return to his home. The Long Water in Kensington -gardens . had about 6,000 sliders and skaters upon the ice, but no accidents occurred. _ gardens, about At the Round Pond, Kensington. 2,000 persons amused themselves upon the ice, and the banks were crowded with people drawn toge ther to witness the various evolutions. Serpents and birds of nearly every description were cut out most finely, especially by the ladies. A boy, whilst standing on the ice, fell down, and had his leg broken. He was taken to St. George's Hospital, where he at present remains in a state of great su: ffering. - In St. James's-park the number of sliders and skaters was about 4,000, and several immersions took place during the day. Amongst the most en dangered were Richard Bennett, of 9, Nag's-head court, City; Edwin Clarke, of 3, Tyler's-court, Soho; Thomas Stand, of 9, Wilson's-court, Gray's inn-road ; James Thompson, of 44, Gloucester street, Queen-square; and John Mann, of 55, Kingsland-road. They were all attended to by Dr. M'Cann, of Parliament-street, and were enabled to return home. The Regent's-park had about 10,000 people upon the ice, and several persons were seriously injured by having their heads cut open by being thrown down by the skaters. The worst accidents happened to Mr. H. Cooper, of 15, Cuthbert-hall-park ; Mr. Frost, oilman, of Lisson-street, Lisson-grove ; Mr. James Wall, of 26, Weymouth-street, Portland place ; Mr. G. Read, of Kersall House, Manchester square; and Mr. G. Brough, of 47, Shoe-lane. The thermometer, as registered by Negretti and Zam - bra's patent glass, during Tuesday night was 27 deg. ; at nine yesterday morning it was at 27 deg; and at six o'clock last night it stood at 30. The barometer during the day indexed 29 . 54, and the wind was north-east. The ice in the Victoria-park, Crystal Palace, Hampstead Ponds, Clapham-common, and other suburbs was reported last night to be tolerably secure, and great numbers went upon the frozen surface ; but one gentleman had his head fractured by falling on the ice in the Victoria-park.

CHRISTMAS SPORTS.—Michael Macarthy, a thief, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting Thomas Harney, a pugilist, with a most unmistakeable fighting face, and also with assaulting the pugilist's wife. . Harney has frequently given much trouble to the police, to the magistrates of this court, and others, and has been fined for assaults and breaches of the peace. He appeared in court not like the celebrated portrait of the man that lost the fight, but with a head frightfully beaten and covered with surgical plaisters. Mrs. Harney stated that she was in her husband's com pany at a public -house in Back Church-lane on Christmas eve, and her husband had a bottle of rum given to him by the landlord. The prisoner took the bottle from her hus band, and struck him three times with it on the head, and cut his head open. Her husband was in a." deluge of blood." The prisoner then cut her head with the remains of the broken bottle, and stole her shawl. The prisoner was quite sober. Mr. Selfe—Why was not this charge brought here before ? Mrs. Harney—My husband took out a summons yester day, and we could not find the prisoxter till last night. Thomas Harney said he had been a teetotaller for five weeks. Mr. Selfo—Then what business had you in a public house ? Harney—Well, I can't read and write ; and I go in to see the Shipping Gazette, and the list of arrivals of ships Mr. Selfe—But if you cay.not read what is the use of the Slapping Gazette to you? Harney—Well, some one reads it for me. He then con firmed the statement of his wife, and said his head was cut. in live I,:nces. Mr. Selfe—What did ye -a want with a bottle of rum, Mr. Harney ? Harney—Why, to comfort my father-in-law. Besides, I have broken the pledge, and take a little rum myself. Mr. Salfe— I thought so. Harney said the prisoner kicked at him and defied him, because he was bound over to keep the peace. If ho had gone into the boy, ho could have murdered him in a few minutes, but he kept his hands off for fear of the conse- quences. The prisoner said there was a "scrimmage" in the pub lic-house, and in the course of it Mrs. Harney struck a young women with a child in her arms, and the bottle of 100 1 rum was taken out of Harney's hands by a man, and i t 1 was broken. After a long investigation, Mr. Selfe said the Harneys were not blameless, and fined the prisoner 10s., and in default 7 days' imprisonment. DUUNK AND DEAD.-Mr. Selfe said there was a charge on one of the police sheets against Robert Maguire, aged 49, of No. 10, Albert-street, Shadwell, labourer, and he found it stated on the same sheet in pencil writing that he was dead. . _ _ Inspector Dandy, of the H divisioh, said that a police constable found the deceased lying in the snuw in Dock street, Whitechapel, last night at half-past nine o'clock. The deceased was helplessly intoxicated, and could not move. A stretcher was sent for, and the deceased was placed upon it and brought to the station-house in Leman street. He put the man before the fire and rubbed his hands to pr oduce warmth. In three minutes he observed an alarming change in the man and sent for Dr. Conoley, of High-street,Whttechapel, who arrived at the station-house in a few minutes, and pronounced the man to be dead. Mr. Selfe—Was he drunk ? Inspector Dandy—No doubt he had been drinking to ex _ cess and fell in the snow. Every poisible attention was paid to the poor fellow, and I very much regret he should have died under such circumstancps. TEIS DAY'S IifAREETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

The deceased gentleman, who was much respected in the neighbourhood, retired to rest on Monday night in his usual health and spirits. THE HETTON COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The bodies of nearly all the poor fellows killed by the explosion in Hetton Colliery have been recovered. No new facts have tanspired, and the coroner's inquest, which was opened on Monday last, has been adjourned until the Bth of January, by which time it is anticipated the pit will be fully restored to a working condition, and the facts with regard to the explosion thoroughly ascertained. MR. SPURGEON'S TABERNACLE.—Yesterday there wa s a great social gathering. at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, which is in course cf erection for Mr. Spurgeon's ministry. At four o'clock the doors were threwn open, and half an hour afterwards Mr. W. G. Haynes gave a lecture on the subject of Alpine Rambles, Mr. Spurgeon himself shortly afterwards giving an interesting lecture in his own style on the subject of Southwark in the olden time. The interval was occupied with music and various other amusements. It was announced that the tabernacle, which is to eclipse all other places of public worship in the metropolis, will be ready for opening in March, £24,000 out of £30,000 (its estimated cost) having already lam]. eutoribed. EXTRAORDINARY COLD. The following letters have been addressed to the Editor of the Times:--- Sir, —I lic.rcivith send you a report of perhaps the most extraordinary cold ever known in England—certainly ex ceeding every record but one, and that record being loci:el upon as an error, and indeed thought to be an impossible teml,eraturo in England. This morning the temperature at four feet above th© ground was S deg. below zero, and on the grass 13.8 deg. below zero, or 45.8 deg. of frost. As the above extraordinary temperature may seem im probable, I herewith append the readings of a number of thermometers placed in different situations : • Thermometers. 1.

At llighfield-house they were : At four feet On grass ... The maximum heat yesterdaywas only 20 deg., and from 7 p.m. till 11 a.m. the temperature never rose as high as zero of Fahrenheit's thermometer. At the present time (12.30 p.m.) the temperature is 7 deg. above zero at 4 feet, and 2.5 deg. above zero on the grass. To-night, in all probability, will be even colder, as the sky is cloudless, with a fog in the distance. Wind stationary since 1 p.m. yes terday in west, and calm. The Trent is full of ice, and in a few hours will be quite frozen over. I have just seen a horse pass with icicles at his nose three inches in length, and as thick as three fingers. The ground is about three inches covered with snow. Deg. Deg.

Last evening the frost was intense ; a thick fog was stretched over the valley of the Thames. At 1 15 a.m. (Christmas morning), Fahrenheit's thermometer stood at 5 deg., and the air had numerous floating crystals in it hardly of sufficient density to descend to the earth. The deposit of hoar frost was exceedingly rapid. This morning at 7 50 two thermometers, one self-registering and one upright, indicated 0 deg., that is zero, and at this un usually low point they stood till 8 30. The appearance of the rime on the trees is magnificent, but it may be antici pated that the effect on vegetation will be very disastrous. • Yours obediently, Wallingford, Dec. 25. CAUEY TYSO, Florist, &c. a Sir,—My thermometer this morning stood 1 deg. below zero, or 33 degrees frost. This is lower, with one excep tion, than on any occasion for the past 50 years. The date to which I refer was the night preceding January 20, 1838, when the thermometer registered 3 deg. below zero, or 35 dog. of frost.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS L. PLANT. Moseley-road, Birmingham. Dec. 25. Sir,—The severity of the cold in this district is, I believe, unprecedented. The thermometer last night registered 5 deg. below zero, and during this day (Christmas -day) it has been ranging between two deg. above and two dog. below zero, with a remarkable clearness of the atmosphere and a light S.W. wind. I trust you will think this fact worthy a place in your columns.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, W. C. WARD-JACKSON. Greatham-hall, West Hartlepool, Dec. 25. Sir,—The thermometer in my garden, on a west wall in a shelt&ed 'situation, marked two degrees above zero (Fahrenheit) at 8 a.m. this morning,--a degree of cold, I believe, unknown since the year 1864.—1 remain your obe dient servant, A BERKSHIRE RECTOR.

A report was circulated yesterday that Gaeta had surrendered : this is not confirmed, but it is gene rally understood that the terms of surrender are the subject of negotiation, and this portion of the question is in train of satisfactory settlement. Messina will not hold out after the cession of Gaeta. The Italian papers are republishing at full length the Parisian pamphlet of which M. Pereire has all the credit, and there seems a general accordance in the suggestion that peace and V enice should be secured by a pecuniary sacrifice—and a large one —which Italy is now disposed to make.: Any long continued obstinacy on the part of Austria might, however, wholly frustrate so desirable an arrange ment. No solution of the Papal diffieulty, in which his Holiness is likely to concur, has hitherto been discovered, Pio Nono has again and again re peated that he will not abandon the territorial rights and temporal sovereignty he inherits from his predecessors, and which he deems himself bound to hand down to those who follow him ; but he has had abundant opportunity of learning that neces sity has no law, and that he may be compelled, like many another monarch, to Proyare come sa di sale Lo pane altrui.' Salt and bitter is indeed the bread of which princes and potentates have frequently had to taste in these latter days. Antonelli's influence is not shaken • he is indeed but the representative of the general feel ing of the cardinals. There is, notwithstanding, among sober Catholics a growing conviction that it would be a happiness and a security for the Pope to be relieved from the financial difficulties and po litical Complications, which belong to civil autho rity. - The time of Victor Emmanuel's return to Turin is not yet decided on. The Parliament will hardly assemble till February, and everybody an ticipates fierce discussions between the Unitarian centralisers and those who desire to uphold the separate nationalities, and to obtain a recognition of the demands for local government. Garibaldi remains in his island solitude, but will appear hereafter in the field to settle with the sword mat ters which diplomacy may fail to accomplish with the pen—but better things are hoped for. Squibs, and caricatures, and pasquinades abound—placards cover the walls in unbridled and often most intem perate expression—and in them the passionate ex citements of the hour find vent; but on the whole the nation, l'ltalica nazioni, is gay and joyous, and dwells on the hope that a work so well begun will terminate felicitously. It is said that Sir John Bowring's visit to Turin is connected with some proposed tariff reforms." The Gaeta Gazette publishes the following order of the day addressed by King Francis to his troops in the Pontifical States : • " Gaeta, Nov. 2G. " Soldiers I—Separated from you by the force of events, my affection always remains with you. The remembrance of the fatigues ycu have endured during the last eight months, and of the glorious exploits you have valiant/1i executed, will never be effaced from my mind. I am ob liged to dissolve provisionally the corps to which you be long. I have the firm confidence that in a short time you will be united, perhaps to combat again and to augment the glory of the Neapolitan troops. You bear on your breasts medals which testify to your bravery, and which will recall all the combats in which you have given striking proofs of courage. You will return for the present to your homes, where you will find your companions, who, by fighting valiantly in 1848 and 1819, gained the medals of fidelity and those of Sicily and Rome. Unite with them, atii you will be like them, respected and honoured by all good and honest citizens. A day will certainly come when you will again take up the arms you now carry for the d.e fence of your country, your families, and your property. "FRANCIS. RAILWAYS IN FRANCE. The Miuister of Public Works has just addressed the following circular to the eugiuetrt, iu clikf charged with the control of the railways, calling their attention to different measures calculated to secure passengers against such dangers as that of which M. Poinsot was lately the victim. " Sir,—The act committed on the 6th inst. on the Eastern Railway has caused the most painful and the most legitimate emotion. The public has seen in this frightful event the revelation of a danger, the existence of which appears to have been never suspected. Doubtless, if we reflect on the criminal audacity required t I accomplish such a crime, and if we think on the co-operation of cir cumstances, which could alone allow the murderer to escape the surveillance of the agents on the line, and the very dangers of that attempt, we shall be led to see in this deplorable event only one of those exceptionable facts which are beyond all calculation Nevertheless it toiffices for such a crime to have been committed, for it to be the duty of the admini stration to scrupulously seek, with the co-operation of the railway companies, for the proper means of preventing its recurrence, and of tranquilizing the public feeling. Among these measures, that which first presents itself to the mind, and which in fact appears the most effectual, would consist in organiz ing the control of the train in a permanent manner by means of the circulation of agents on the foot boards of the carriages, properly arranged for that purpose: This system which has already been in practice on the Northern and Southern lines, is, I am aware, not much approved by the public, who complain of the frequent derange ments which it occasions. Considerations of general security must, however, evidently give way to simple questions of convenience. This con trol of agents of the trains, effected at any period during their journey, appears to be a serious gua rantee which ought not to be neglected. It would be well to examine whether, in order to complete this control, it would not be possible to place at the disposal of the passengers in every compartment a visual signal, which could be hoisted above the car riage, and which would call the guard placed in the front part of the train. This signal might be lighted at night by means of a reflector placed above the lamps. There has been also suggested as a useful measure, the establishment in the carriages of glazed pannels, forming acommunication between each com partment; this system also merits examination. Lastly, as a malefactor could not escape from the train except when its speed had somewhat slackened, either on coming near stations or crossings, it is important that a special surveillance should be exercised at those points. I call your particular attention, sir, to the different measures which I have just pointed out. Be kind enough to examine them, in concert with the company the control of which is confided to you, and let me know as soon as possible the result of that examination. ROUHER." FAREWELL TO THE 8R177811 LEGION. Garibaldi's British Legion has finally left Naples: We read in a letter dated Dee. 18 : The Melazzo, as I mentioned in my last, left on Friday evening at nine o'clock, with 250 men of the British Legion. The following are some details which I have collected since. An official report says : " The men left perfectly contented, and in good spirits. The rule is that, in transports, more than two-thirds are never below at once. The vessel way well found in everything—fresh meat, coffee, cho colate, &c. The Glasgow Committee had sent out a gentleman, a Mr. M'Adam, who furnished and distributed a large quantity of Guernsey frocks, comforters, and socks. All the men were paid by Mr. Turner's clerks." Other reports speak of there baing shakes-down made for only one-hundred and fifty men. The British Legion, like everything else, however, has been made a party question, and I must caution the public against listening exclusively to the statements of either side: I have endeavoured to give a fair view of things, and have sent the evi dence which I have c3llected from both parties. Before leaving this country, but unfortunately after the division had left Salerno, the inhabitants of that city presented an address to the Legion, which I translate and send to you. with the 53d Regiment established there and the inhabitants our countrymen have lived in harmony, and have lent their services in putting down the banditti in the neighbourhood.— STATE OF MADE. MANCHESTER, Dec. N.—The principal market day this week is fixed for Friday, but there were more buyers and sellers on the Exchange than had been expected, and the news by the China mail has led to some business—principally in water twist for that market, and in 40-inch shirtings and T-cloths suitable to China. Prices are rather higher, having again gone up for cotton at Liver pool. For other markets there was also some business done, at very full rates, but of course the Christmas holydays interfere with business, and there has not been a large attendance of buyers. LEEDS; Nov. 26. —Yesterday being Christmas day, the usual Tuesday's cloth market, in common with the corn and general markets in this town, has been held to-day. There was a thin attend ance both of buyers :and sellers, and the sales effected were only to a small amount. All things considered, however, the m arket was as good as could be expected. The inquiries were chiefly for spring goods, but a few parcels of heavy fabrics for immediate use were sold, the severity f r s o the wea ther having caused P great demand fouch. The ground for some days now has been covered deeply with snow, and the temperature is very low. Yesterday it was 20 degrees below freezing point, but to-day it is not quite so low. LEICESTER, Dec. 26.—Very little has been doing this week in the hosiery trade. Besides being a dull time of the year, the annual holidays impede business. At Loughborough many of the stock ingers are unemployed. The wool market mil -1 tinues firm at high currencies. There is no mate rial change in y arns, which, however, remain firm. NOTTING HAM, Dec. 26 . — There is nothing to report in the state of the lace trade. Some of the closed on and most of t he warehouses wer e y o n Monday and Tuesda y , consequently little b u siness has been done t his week. Now, however, r -,:. t h a t Christmas is turned , more may shortly be expected to be done. A great n , um ber of the oper ative lace-makers continue out cf work.

"A FAREWELL TO THE ENGLISH LEGION. " When the cause of Italy meets with the sym. pathy of free and civilised nations, we have an un exceptionable proof of its justice ; and when that sympathy goes so far as to make them take up arms and fight, we have a proof of the nobleness of the aspirations which arise to shake off the yoke of slavery. Inspired with this truth, Garibaldi, the man of .the two worlds, conceived the thought of forming a legion of English volunteers, who gene rously hastened to our assistance. " Great and general as was our grief for those brave men who fell under the walls of Capua, it is immensely greater now that new vicissitudes oblige you to leave our land, on which God smiles, and which it seems men conspire to deceive. Yon de part, 0 generous and brave men, and Italy is not yet all united, independent, and free ; but she is not unworthy the sympathy, of your nation, the first in Europe to conquer freedom, and which better than any other people, still knows hew to defend and fight for it. May your departure be a pledge of securing that, we shall accomplish our great task without the sacrifice of any other bleed but that which we ought always to be ready to shed for our beloved country ; and let us, 0 noble friends, wait for better times to express the sincere gratitude of all the Italian nation towards your generous coun try. These are the hearty wishes of the people of Salerno, who now enjoy your presence and love you as brothers. " Farewell, brave men, farewell ! " Salerno, Dec. 14." The answer of the Legion runs thus : " SALEIaNO, DEC. 14. "The officers and men of the British Volunteers received with feelings of the utmost pride the flattering address of the inhabitants of Salerno, and they assure them that the cause of liberty is one in which every man bearing the name of Briton feels it an honour to shed his blood. They regret that, owing to the - sudden orders from Naples, so many of the regiui,ent had left before the alr - IT-Pss was received, but before they arrive at their homes it will be published in ail the Englisle papers, and the people of their native country will see with gratification that the efforts of her sons are not unappreciated in Italy ; and may that knowledge stir her to fresh efforts for the n ‘ lble cause—a cause worthy of that brave and good mom so loved by all of us, Joseph Garibaldi. " Inhabitants of Salerno, farewell We leave you with regret, and with a warm and grateful ap preciation of the kindnesses we have received from you. " CIIARLES S. SMELT, Major. THE KING OF ITALY AND FRA.NCIS A letter has been received from Naples, the writer of which says :—I have just now come into possession of a copy of a letter, which was addressed by Victor Emmanuel to Francis 11. when the for mer was at Florence. The letter deser red an answer, though it never received one. Dear Cousin,—Tt would ho uaoloao fur Yrn point out the political state of the peninsula, since the great victories of Magenta and Soiferino anni hilated the influence which Austria exercised upon our country. The Italians are no more the people of thirty years ago, to be led like sheep by their rulers. They have acquired the full knowledge of their rights, and they possess the wisdom and strength necessary to defend them. Public opinion has on the other hand sanctioned the principle, that every nation has the incontestible right of governing itself as it thinks best. When once the overpowering influence of Austria was conquered, it was natural enough that the people of Italy should get rid of the minor princes and try to constitute .a powerful and independent com munity. We have, therefore, reached an epoch at which Italy must be divided into two powerful States, one in the north the ether in the south, which, by adopting a similar course of national policy, should assist the Italian leading idea of our times, which is unity. But to carry this pro ject into effect it is, I firmly believe, necessary that your Majesty should at once abandon the fatal course you have hitherto pursued. Should you re sist my pressing advice, which I beg yoa to 'believe is the result of the truest affection for your welfare and for that of your royal dynasty—should you repudiate my friendly proposal, a time may come in which I should be placed in the terrible alternative of endangering the most urgent interests of my own dynasty or of becoming in fact the chief instru ment of your ruin. The principle of dualism, which, 'if successfully established and honestly carried out, will at the same time ensure our hap piness and the happiness of our country, may be still willingly accepted by the Italians. If you allow a few months to pass without following the friendly advice I give you, your Majesty will, in all probability, experience the bitterness of those terrible words, "It is too late," as a member of your family did at Paris in 1830. The Italians will then concentrate in me all their hopes, and there are duties which, however painful they may be, must ale fulfilled by an Italian sovereign. Let us therefore work together at such a noble work ; let us urge upon the Holy Father the necessity of granting the requisite reforms let us unite our States in a bond of real friendship, from which the greatness of our country will , surely spring. Grant at once a liberal constitu tion to your subjects ; surround yourelf with the influence of the men who are most e st e emed for all they have suffered in the cause o f liberty ; dispel all kinds of suspicion in your people, and let an ever lasting alliance be established between the two most powerful States ofthe Peninsula. We will th enwor k . together to insure to our country the great blessing of being the sole arbitress of her future destinies. You are young,and experience is not generally the lot of youth. Allow me, therefore, to mind the necessity of you in my twofold capacity of an Italian sovereign. impress h - d upon ygoivure Majesty and courier who will present y this o lfegtatn ietnrfteetoaril y aar o ce u oran r the return o I anxiously wait b a satisfactory answer.—Believe relative ntial most affectionate cousin, Florence, April 15, 1860. e, your Majesty's Well, to VICTOR EMMANUEL. bat the w ho took it to Naples was this letter not only no answer was given orderly officer not even allowed t o deliver it to the king, as he had been directed to do. It was just on that occa sion that the first/domestic quarrel took place be tween the you n g que en and her obstinate husband. This lade' hav i n g heard of Victor Emmanuel s letter, te l e graphed through a friend to Commenda tore di Martino, thee at Rome, to ask his advice. Di :Martino answered that it was of the utmost importance that the proposal of the Sardinian monarch should be accepted et once. The unhappy q ueen, therefore, urged her husband to accept it, but the disastrous influence of the Queen Dowager had already borne its fruit. Francis II obstinately repulsed the wise advice of his young consort, and from that moment the fate of the Bourbons of Naples was decided. You know the rest.
