The united building trades have re-commenced the nine hours' agitation. They have published an address, and a well written one, to the Central Association of Master Builders. The case on one side is, therefore, again before the public, since, we presume, by the publication of their memorial, they mean to invite the expression of public opinion. The first step the men have thus taken they have taken wisely and well. We mean that their mode of seeking to obtain their object is the proper one. Public opinion is a power in these days, and one in a free country to which all classes must ulti mately yield. The master builder may, indeed, say to some friend who asks him why he cannot concede the hour requested, that he himself knows his own business best, and that his friend cannot comprehend it. But his friend sees workmen, sees other masters, becomes " up" in the question, and next time he meets his friend in the brick and mortar line, he discusses the matter with him on more equal terms. Benevolent men take their kind of interest in the subject. Educationists dis cuss it from their point of view. Sanatory reformers hare their notions concerning it. Newspaper editors receive information from a parties ; the gist of the question becomes at last quite clear, and the public mind become pretty well made up. When it does so, the righ generally rrevails. But let the men, and the masters too, beware of outrunning public opinion. Both, as is now con fessed, did so on the last occasion of a similar demand. If the men are confident of a good cause, our advice to them is—have patience, and you must prevail. All the masters in the kingdom cannot resist you if you resort to moral means only. Try, we say, the power of knowledge. It can vanquish the strongest association. Never was there in history a stronger combination than that of the landlords to retain a tax on your daily bread. The League diffused knowledge on the sub ject far and wide ; they forced it even into farm houses, landlords' manors, and the corn-halls of agricultural towns. Knowledge overthrew the bread tax ; it has overthrown the taxes which used to enhance the price of almost everything you ate; it has reduced very largely the taxes on all you drink, and will eventually abolish them too. Even the Emperor of the FREN CII quails before European opinion. The men appeal to what has been done in other departments with regard to shortening the hours of work. They say, "in this conviction we are fully sustained by the results of similar reductions of daily toil in other departments of industry. In Lond - m, and generally throughout the provinces, the clerks and warahousemen have agitated for a very considerable shortening of the hours of work. Their efforts have been completely successful, and the result has been an immense g"in to the men, without the slightest loss to the masters. On the contrary, the establishment of better and friendlier feelings between the employers and the employed has not only conduced to the greater comfort of the parties, but has also been productive of no small pecuniary advantages to the employer!' Good, and true. But let the men remember that all this was accomplished by the diffusion of know ledge—by discussion, by respectful representations to masters, by meetings to which respectable public speakers, frequently clergymen of different deno minations were invited, by the willing aid of the newspaper press, in one word, by purely moral means. Had all the shopmen and clerks through out London, struck for " early closing" they would have inflicted immense loss on their masters and on themselves, have irritated the public by a wan ton interference with its habits and convenience, have entailed lasting misery on thousands of decent families, and instead of "better and friendlier feel ings between the employers and the employed" there would have remained heartburnings which would have died out only with the present generation. The men say, "In making this fresh present ment of our desire for the nine hours' movement, we are confident that a more careful and impartial consideration of the subject will induce you to come to the conclusion, that your interests as employers will not be seriously affected by the concessien of the nine hours' boon to the earnest and respectful soli citation of the men engaged in your establishments. On the other hand, we are equally confident that the condition of the workmen, physically, morally, and intellectually, will be greatly improved through the effects of the proposed reduction." If this be true, as it has proved true, in regard to many other departments of business, it is the very case for a full and fair discussion. In that of the shopmen the same argument was strongly urged. Many masters were convinced. Those who were, began to act on their convic tion. Others followed. Argument and example has done all that has been yet effected. In this short memorial it was of course impossible to do more than open the case: Let the men now set to in good earnest to prove their points. They may be quite sure that no master has any preference for ten hours if nine hours will serve his .purpose as well. • The majority of the masters well know what labour is by experi ence. They have risen from the trowel to the con tractor's desk; they can fully comprehend the proofs, if proofs there be, that they shall finish a house as cheaply if the masons work but nine hours each as if they work ten. It may be so. We do not understand the case practically ; but our friend Mr. POTTER must own that the assertion is one pre eminently needing proof. To the uninitiated it seems impossible. If the men offered to work nine hours for one-tenth less wages, we could of course comprehend that that might be an advantage to the masters, though we are not sure that it would be. But if the masters are to pay one-tenth more —if every house which now costs them £l,OOO to build, is to cost them £l,lOO, it seems to us that they must in the long run be losers. If the cost were increased 10 per cent., the demand would be lessened 10 per cent.—so every believer in ADAM SMITH would say—and Mr. POTTER should at once inaugurate a vigorous discussion on this point. Let him prove that the masters' interests will not suffer, and he will have both masters and the public with him. Above all, let the Union men renounce for ever the un-English tyranny by which some of their number injured their cause last year. It is per fectly fair that workmen should combine in any way they please—that they should combine in such numbers as to be able to demand what they think fair wages ; what is not fair, and what neither law nor society will tolerate, is that they should dictate to their fellow-workman for what wages he shall work. They have no moral right to force a man to join their union. If they can convince him of its advantages, it is all right. But to abuse and blackball him because he finds it advan tageous to work for lower wages than themselves, or because he prefers the rewards of labour to the allow ance of a club or of the parish, is inexcusable interfer ence with the freedom and rights of others. It may he alleged that his conduct lowers the general wages. To which it may be answered—lst, No individual is bound to injure or ruin himself that others may get the same pay for nine hours which he is willing to take for ten. 2d, If the number of those who will work the longer time, or what is identical with it, take the lower pay, is but s•'zall, they will not tell upon the general rate of wages. But idly, If the number be large, then it shows that lower wages are justified by the state of the labour market, and it is cruelty to deprive so many of the wages they would be thankful to earn. If, however, the men would have the public sympathy, let them avoid strikes. Let them work on and discuss. A year or two, or more than that, is really but a trifle in a great move ment. A few years longer work on the old terms will hurt no one. We should advise the men to maintain themselves and their families yet awhile on their present comfortable wages, and it will be with our heartiest good will if they can satisfy the public and their masters that the same wages had better be paid for nine hours' work than ten. We are all too ready to imagine that others must see the strength of our arguments as clearly as we do ourselves. But we must give each other time. The masons have appealed to the example of the early closing movement, let them follow it and all will be right. They have appealed to their masters' interest as better promoted by nine hours' work than by ten, let them establish that and their object is attained. .s As to our national defences here, in England, they are at last and in real earnest being cared for, after all our apathy and procrastination. Although we are at this present time at peace with all the nations of the earth, save only the Chinese, we are, in the midst of this almost universal tranquillity, expending within the year £30,000,000 upon our military and maritime departments alone. We are none of us disposed any longer to rest contented as we did for so many years upon such defences as might be represented under the heads of " martello towers" and " militia"—the latter for the most unembodied. We have at last a noble Channel Fleet, and one that is kept continually upon the alert, cruising about the Channel. We have a better order of things than has been known for years and years past secured to us both at the Horse Guards and at the Admiralty. Our Ordnance Department is advancing, under the guidance of men like Wiritwo RTH and ARMSTRONG, to results that would have been deemed little less than miraculous in a former generation. We have railways, gridironing the island in all directions, capable of concentrating our troops upon any given point with astonishing rapidity. We have, moreover, the electric telegraph threading the land hither and thither, and bringing the remotest parts of it into instantaneous communication with each other. And now, in aid of all these means of defence—in aid of the royal navy, in aid of the regular army, we have (after sowing no dragon's teeth) seen starting up at once, at the first blast as it were of that ringing clarion note, the call of patriotism—we have seen start forth from the ranks of the civilians, fully armed and accoutred for the national defence, 80,000, or rather by this time close upon 100,000 Rifle Volunteers. It is not so very long ago either that hardly any- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1860, L TEST NEW S. --- The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, MAY 29. The Moniteur of this morning publishes the speech delivered by M. Fould, Minister of State, at an agricultural meeting at Tarles. After having shown the material progress which has been obtained, the Minister Fould said : " The economical course which has recently been inaugurated will create a fruitful era of wealth and prosperity." M. Fould recalls the moderation of the Emperor shown after the late war, and said —" The moderation in the past is a certain gua rantee for the future. The Emperor has several times proclaimed that he only wished to ensure to France the rank which belonged to her." M. Fould advises people not to be led away by the feeling of uneasiness which parties are strenuously endeavouring to spread. " Notwithstanding the events which disturb some States, notwithstanding the agitation and mistrust which those parties at tempt to excite in the public mind, France, quiet and prosperous, can devote herself with safety to public works. She knows the Emperor to be strong enough to inspire all with respect for her rights, and to be too loyal a neighbour and too faithful an ally to menace the rights of others." PARIS, MAY 28. In Skily everything is going on well for Gari baldi. A service of small steamers, French and English, has been established between Naples and Palermo. The Patric of this evening says : " The despatches received from Sicily are very contradictory. One of them again asserts that Bixio has been killed." The Patric adds : " The insurrection is being organised to such an extent that its definitive result is no longer doubt ful. The fall of Palermo is inevitable, being only a question of time. As soon as the insurrection becomes mistress of Palermo, Garibaldi will declare Sicily annexed to the Italian kingdom, reserving the ratification of his resolution to universal suf frage. A provisional government, under the presidency of Garibaldi, would then direct the insurrection." VIENNA, MAY 28. A telegram from the Austrian Embassy at Naples has been received here, which asserts that Gari baldi and his volunteers had been completely routed. TURIN, MAY 29. The discussion on the treaty of cession was re sumed yesterday in the Sardinian Chambers. Signor Biancheri (of the opposition) said he feared that the line of demarcation would be pre judicial to the defence of the country, that it wounded the national sentiment, and gave France the valley of Roja, which was incontestably Italian. Signor Annelli attacked the treaty as immoral, and said—Traffic in humanity is not a venal thing. It is not 'possible to sell peoples without being guilty of immorality. The orator was interrupted by the President for the extreme vehemence of his language, and the liberty of speech was finally withirawn from Signor Annelli by the vote of the Chamber. Signor Berti declared that he abstained from discussion, but nothing proved that the Government had been obliged to cede Savoy and Nice in order to effect a French alliance, and afterwards said— The peace of Villafranca has changed the policy of Sardinia. The thought of Italian independence is superseded by that of natural boundaries. The Chevalier Buoncompagni defended the treaty from a legal point of view, and contested the opinion of Signor Ratazzi, who said that Count Cavour had substituted the aggrandisement of the kingdom of Sardinia in place of the independence of Italy. He explained that the Tuscan autonomy is not in opposition to the unity of Italy, and fur ther proved that Nice is not Italian. The Minister Farini, in reply to Signor Berti, contended that the policy of France had notchanged since the peace of Yillafranca, and stated that the annexation had been made since then. The Mini ster also said—ln signing the treaty I have the profound conviction of performing a most useful act in favour of Italian independence. GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION MALTA, MAY 22. Her Majesty's ship Caradoc, which arrived in port on the 20th brought the following intelli- gence : The Royal troops, consisting of 5,000 men, have been defeated at Alcamo by Garibaldi with the loss of 2,300 men. The whole garrison of Palermo afterwards wen out to meet the enemy. The Royal troops are beaten in every village. Garibaldi is marching towards Palermo, accom panied by 15,000 men. The English families were to embark this day on board the Hannibal. The merchants have embarked all their pro perty on board the English corvette Amphion. Another defeat of the Royal troops was hourly expected to take place at Monreale. Her Majesty's ship Assurance, arrived yesterday from Catania and Messina, brought the following news from Sicily : A detachment of the royal troops, which had left Catania to meet the insurgents who were outside Catania, were made prisoners by the insurgents. This detachment consisted of 500 men. Another detachment, consisting of 1,000 men, left Girgenti on Friday last for Palermo ; the royal troops met with the insurgents, who made 500 of them prisoners, and the other 500 returned to Gir genti with the loss of their officers. A letter dated Palermo, May 18, says :—" Since Saturday last, the 12th inst., when the landing of Garibaldi was known here, we have been in a regu lar fix—the squad , i showed themselves close down to the town in very great numbers, and we are in a state of siege again, not knowing whether we are to be sacked and pillaged by the soldiers, or bom barded and fired upon by the Castle and ships of war. All the mails from this of Saturday last were stopped and, it is said, destroyed. Since this day week no letters have come in from any pal t of the interior by land. I enclose our Marsala account of Garibaldi's landing, brought up bj the Argus, and in addition to which the officers told us they were a fine set of fellows. They spoke and shook hands with Garibaldi, so that there is no mistake about his being in Sicily ; but his exact whereabouts at this moment no one here seems to know. Some say he has taken Trapani, others that he is organising his forces, having been joined by thousands. However, wherever he may be, yesterday several beaten regiments came into town in a terribly shattered state, belonging to Colonel Donati's Colonna Mobile, which was attacked be twixt Alcamo and Calataficni, and totally dispersed, with the loss of more than 2,000 out of about 3,000 men, three cannons, and lots of officers, amongst them Colonel Donati, and, strange to say, he was the only officer whom I knew, as ho started from our port, where he kept his horsepro tern, his men being those stationed at the Gancia convent. All the troops look beaten and discouraged, and as for the police, they have in great part been cut off, and the rest have become as mild as milk. " The name of Garibaldi seems to have struck terror into the entire Neapolitan army. The /u 0,90 tenente, Castelcicala, went away for good yesterday to Naples, bag and baggage, and has been replaced by General Lanza, who was formerly a colonel of cavalry here in 1848. Government business and everything else seems to be at a dead lock, and, for my part, I feel persuaded that the Government must succumb, the entire island being in arms and against them. It is believed that the above Colonna was destroyed by the country squadt i alone, and without any assistance from Garibaldi's band, amongst whom there are some English and French chaps, and a lot of students from Pavia. Altogether the English officers said they were a brave set, and managed their landing like chaps that knew what they were about. The English steamers Argus and Intrepid, at a distance they took for Neapolitan cruisers, or they would have been in and landed two hours sooner, and the steamers would have got away again. Yesterday there was a si dice that Lanza was going to make aprenunziamento with the troops and tri-coloured flags, and to cry out, 'Viva Francesco, 11. Viva la Constituzione del 1812 !' But it is all bosh. " There are steamers going to and coming from Naples daily, but we have had only one letter so far, and that was kept at the Post-office 24 hours after arrival; and as to sending away letters, we never can know when the steamer is to leave, or which is the one to go, and at the Post-office they know nothing at all. " The Argus having returned to remain at Marsala for a time, the Neptune is the only British man-of-war here. "The Marsala folks were anxious to get a steamer to keep them company, not, however, that they are in the least danger within their baglios, which are like little fortresses ; besides, they took good care to keep plenty of arms to defend them selves from any attack (by no means probable), and the Argus ought to have remained here, as her presence is much more likely to be needed here when Garibaldi comes to the rescue. " The people are not allowed to go out or come in at the gates after a certain hour. Nearly all the gates except the four chief ones at right angles have been barricaded by the troops to form breastworks. One Colonna has been stationed at the end of the Madina these two days, and the poor devils have had to sleep for two nights and days on the ban chetta, without any covering except the clothes they stand in. Another larger lot is out at the Barazzi, just beyond the madhouse, but all the troops in this direction—except what there may be at Girgenti and Trapani, if this last place has not given in—have come back to Palermo, so that all the island, save perhaps Catania and Messina, may be said to be in the hands of the people, who will now no longer accept anything Francesco 11. may offer them, constitution or anything else. " The Colonna Disfatta is, as that of Garibaldi, composed of carabinieri, Bth and 10th regiments of the line, cavalry and artillery ; and besides the great number of killed and wounded, four cannon, the military chest, and a lot of muskets were taken. Several of the inhabitants who have landed, I hear, have already come into Palermo to see their rela tions, but have gone out again. Garibaldi, I am told, is to sleep at Partinico to-night. On Sunday most likely Monreale will be attacked, and after that we might look out at Palermo, which will be the - scene of the great fight if the Neapolitans intend to fight at all. The poor fellows most cer tainly appear to be very much discouraged, and with good reasons, because it is impossible they can withstand the fury of the entire island. The squadri are beyond numbers; all round Palermo every night they light their fires on the Monetrim by way of showing that they are in the neighbour hood. The town and all around it since Saturday last has been as silent as the grave, and that alone tends to damp the ardour of the troops—put out of the question the name of Garibaldi, who must certainly be a generous fellow to have undertaken his present enterprise. " All the English are still in town." MAY 23. The subjoined telgraphic despatch has just been received : " MODICA, MAY 22. " Catania rose in insurrection yesterday at 6 a.m. "A very large number of the movable column of all the communes of the valley of Catania and of the neighbouring valleys have moved forward to attack the royal forces. "A strong body from this place is now setting out in aid of its brethren of Catania." It is reported that the Neapolitan troops are quitting Palermo for Naples in their vessels of war. All Sicily is in arms. A correspondent from Sicily writes as follows : " Accidental circumstances led to my being an eye witness of events of the highest interest which occurred on the 11th at Marsala. It was a most beautiful day, bright sun and perfectly calm sea. Her Britannic Majesty's ships Argus and Intrepid were lying at anchor off the town, having arrived about 10 o'clock that morning from Palermo, in consequence of some complaints that had been made by the English residents here against the Neapoli tan authorities. Two paddlewheel vessels, which had been observed cruising in the offing most of the morning, at 1 o'clock steamed rapidly towards the breakwater. As they approached the shore they hoisted Sardinian colours, and were seen to be crowded with armed men, while field pieces were distinctly discernible on the deck of the larger one. The men were not clothed in uniform, but a large number wore bright red woollen shirts, without any jackets, and felt hats. On the bridge of the first steamer stood an individual, also in red, whose identity was then little suspected, but who turned out to be the illustrious General Garibaldi himself. The steamers came on at full speed through the shallow water, and stopped, one inside the mole, the other a few yards from it. The work of debarkation commenced immediately. Of course, there are various accounts as to the number of men, but, from my own observation, and from the statement of the new comers themselves, I should say 1,400 was about the mark. Every man was armed with a revolver, Minie rifle, and sabre, and many carried two rifles. They had four field howitzers and several ammunition carts. Nothing could excel the able way in which the landing was effected. In two hours and a half not a man was left on board either vessel. Almost imme diately after their arrival the smoke of two or three steamers and the canvass of a large frigate were seen in the horizon. The steamers proved to he a Lix-gun sloop and two Palermitan tugboats chartered by the Neapolitan Government. The fri gate was the Parthenope, 53 guns. Just as the last batch of men were landing the Neapolitan steamers came creeping along shore, and the sloop, which was first, hovered about for a long time, apparently in a state of extreme perplexity and incertitude. After the exchange of many signals with the Parthenope, which had hauled her wind, and was rapidly nearing the harbour, the sloop steamed along the beach and opened fire on the little army that was marching in detachments along the road from the mole to the town. She did not, how ever, do any homage to the patriots, but some •f her shells went right over their heads and burst among the houses. By this time the frigate had arrived, and sailing under reduced canvass about 800 yards from shore, she fired a whole broad side of round shot, with the only effect of splashing water and scattering mud. She then went about and lay to in the offing. The sloop continued firing shell at intervals till dusk. I only saw one man struck and I think that was the extent of the execution. Shell after shell, however, dropped in the town and the Parthenope, with her 8-inch guns, made ono or two holes in the walls. The patriots behaved with the utmost coolness. As each puff of smoke appeared from the ports of the steamer they fell flat on the ground, and when the danger had passed went on, lustily dragging their guns across the open space between the mole and the town. The frigate mean while sent her boats to take possession of the aban doned steamers which were aground and aboard which the tricolour was still flouting. By 8 o'clock next morning one of them, in tow of a tugboat, was out of sight, the other was scuttled and plundered, Garibaldi and his men in full march, te;t en route to Palermo, and the Intrepid gone to Malta with the news. These men came from Genoa, having pressed the steamers into their service. I know that an English screw steamer, two or three weeks back, landed 1,000 rifles at Leghorn for Gari baldi. The strangest part of the affair is the won derful luck of the General in jug escaping the Neapolitan cruisers, and the utter absence of troops in Marsala, which was so likely a place for a land ing. Perhaps Quem Deus vul t perdere is applicable in this case. " Sunday, 13th.—One thousand armed men have joined Garibaldi to-day from Trapani and district." NAPLES, MAY 22 (AFTER POST). The following important information I copy from official despatches, dated Messina, May 19. From want of time I must give it in brief : " On the 19th a proclamation, posted on the walls, saying that the troops had dispersed the Garibaldini with the bayonet ; many dead and wounded ; one chief and a banner taken. An English steamer arrived directly after this public lie. The authori ties greatly put out. The open letter from the British Consul at Palermo to Mr. Elliot was com municated to us, saying, in substance that Gari baldi had beaten the Royal troops near Calata Fimi, dispersed them, and made a number of prisoners ; that the authorities at Palermo were much dis heartened, and serious consequences were expected to follow. A few minutes after merchants received letters with a proclamation, saying that Garibaldi had destroyed a column of 4,000 men between Calata Fimi and Alcamo. Chase given to 1,000 fugitives many prisoners. A new landing of 'sympathisers' at Sante Stefano di Camastre. Luigi Laporte occupies Termini. Soldiers shut up. Royalists defeated again yesterday at Robuttone, near Parco. Enthusiasm everywhere. Armed squadrons moved to the spot where waves the stan dard of Italy in great numbers. Francesco di Terro, a famous inspector of police (whom we name at his wish), has placed himself under the protection of the Cemitato ; others promise the same thing, and we shall publish their names. " THE COMITATO." " Palermo, May 17. The following is an extract of a letter from an English resident at Palermo, dated May 18, received in Liverpool yesterday :—" Our posts with the in terior of the island have quite stopped, and all the telegraph wires have been cat. Garibaldi is march. ing towards Palermo. The first batch of troops have been well thrashed, not by Garibaldi's men, but by Sicilian bands. A columna mobile, of 4,000 men, came back yesterday from Calatafimi. More than two-thirds of them were either killed or taken prisoners; only about half a dozen brought back their muskets. A great many were naked, and one dressed as a woman. Another column, of some three thousand men, has also returned from the Parco, having shared pretty much the same fate. Every day proclamations . are issued by the com mittee of the insurgents. Some 800 Swiss troops have arrived from Naples ; they have been sent twice into the country, and returned. They are now stationed in the town. When Garibaldi gets near us the people will all come out and attack the troops, so that between the people inside, and Gari• baldi outside, they will play Old Harry with the Neapolitans and the police. All goes right. Francis 11. may now bid good-bye to Sicily for ever. You cannot imagine the enthusiasm in the town ; every man is waiting joyfully for the signal to come out and fight, and the police, in the mean time, are all evaporating. The soldiers have not the courage to look at the Palermitans in the face. The next tme I write to you, no doubt Garibaldi will be here with us." (From the Times' Correspondent.) NAPLES, MAY 20. I have heard many in Naples express their righte ous indignation at the invasion of Garibaldi as an infamous violation of international law, and I know not what else ; but I never heard these persons utter one word of censure against a family who, assuming themselves to be the Divine proprietors of the soil, have, for half a century, broken every law both divine and human, and revelled in the miseries of many millions of human beings. Out on such inconsistent cant ! Let no man who has defended or viewed in silence the infamies of the Government of the Two Sicilies, as even men calling themselves English have done, dare to lift their voices for a single moment against Giuseppe Garibaldi. No post boat has been per mitted as yet to come up from Palermo, and con sequently all who have friends or commercial re lations with that city are in the greatest anxiety. A French steamer came in this morning with despatches for Baron Brenier, and from these I derive ample confirmation of the general statement I gave you in my letter of yesterday. The Neapolitan troops were well licked. They fled in a marvellously short time back to Palermo. They lost two cannons; and Gari baldi, with at the smallest computation 6,000, and at the highest 12,000 men, was on the confines of Monreale, preparing to follow up his success. An attack was expected to be made last night or this morning, and little doubt existed that Palermo would be taken, so utterly demoralised and dis couraged were the troops. A letter from Marsala says that in the encounter with Garibaldi the Carabineers took off their shoes and ran for it—perfectly credible for the peasantry, from whom the troops are mostly recruited, wear no shoes; while the Chasseurs stood the attack not more than half an hour. The Saetea went off today with a great quantity of shoes among other things. The Etna, the Government steamer, has come up from Palermo with a load of persons, but it is im possible to extract anything from them, for every one speaks with bated breath, as if a policeman were taking notes. By the bye, a report is going about that the Electrice post-boat had been taken by the insurgents. It appears she was sent down from Palermo to Messina with despatches, and that somewhere between these places she was met, and taken possession of by another body of immigrants. The following is the proclamation of General Salzano, reimposing the state of siege on the 16th : " The Marshal-Commander of Arms in the Province and Place of Palermo.—The greatest violation of the rights of nations has again renewed the dangers of this island and this city. 800 adventurers, coming from Piedmont in two Sardinian steamers, the Lombardo and the Piemonte, dressed in uniform, and armed, with a Staff and a General, landed in Marsala on the 11th inst., with the design of creating a revolt and throwing the country into anarchy. The city having been threatened to be invested by the in vaders, assisted by the bands of the factious who rise upon their road, the Marshal Commander-in-Chief orders as follows : "Art. 1. The city of Palermo, and its district, arc from this moment in a state of siege. " Art. 2. Rebels taken with arms in their hands, as also those who assist the insurrection, shall be tried immediately by a Council of War, according to the decree of the 27th of December, 1848. "Art. 3. During the day the inhabitants shall walk one by one in the streets. At night, after 24 o'clock (7 o'clock) it is forbidden to any one to walk in the city. In case of seditious meetings the public force shall disperse them with arms. "Art. 4. Private persons are forbidden to receive strangers into their houses without the permission of the police. "Art. 5. The sound of bells is forbidden by day and by night, as it is also forbidden to affix any paper or seditious proclamation whatever on the walls. The violators of this order shall be tried by a Council of War. During the state of siege the printing-offices shall be closed. " Art. 6. 'Whenever an insurrection shall take place in the city, the inhabitants shall keep their doors and windows shut. The troops will occupy those houses from which there is any firing. " Palermo, May 16, 1860. " The Field. Marshal Commander of Arms, " GIOVANNI SALZANO." MAY 22. No post boat has come in yet, though it was due on the 18th, nor has the Intrepid yet made her ap pearance, from which I infer that no decisive fact has taken place. The Government steamer, the Etna, which came in on Sunday at mid-day, brought up letters privately for official persons, and from these I gather that the political position was worse and worse—doors and windows shut up, com merce annihilated. The troops had been repulsed, and had returned to Palermo in small groups tho roughly beaten. The 13th Chasseurs had been sent to Castellamare, thence to be forwarded to the scene of action; but on arriving found it too late, and returned discouraged to Palermo, The sbirri go about and give up their arms to the people, asking that their lives may be saved. The officers of the defeated brigade have done something similar, and many of them, it is added, have joined Garibaldi. We apprehend an attack from day to day. The Jesuits are preparing to start, and a vast number of families have alrea done so. The monks of the Guancia have been liberated az innocent, and so have been a great number of those who were arrested at the beginning of the revolu tion. One of the custodes of the principal prisons said that there were now more exits than entries, and that only 1,800 persons were in confinement. The nobles in prison —as Montelani, Niscani, Giardini, Trebia, and others—have been transferred to the fortress of Castellamare. Such is the state of Palermo. A letter from Marsala speaks of the number of the Garibaldians who landed as having not been 800, but 1,800. The people, says the writer, are flocking en masse to the standards of Garibaldi. thing of all this had even been attempted to be ' commenced. It is not so long since that the greatest of all British warriors, ARTHUR Duke of WEL LINGTON, towards the close of his career of more than 80 years acknowledged his profound solicitude as to what amounted, in his estimation, to the abso lute defencelessness of England against the perils of any sudden invasion. This was at the beginning of the first of a series of panics that have at length happily resulted in our present preparedness. Sir FRANCIS HEAD, among others who thought griev ously indeed of our dangerous plight, published a big book demonstrating the unwelcome truth long suspected that Britannia, by allowing her arms to rust and her ships to rot, had, after 40 years' peace, become peculiarly vulnerable. It was hardly pos sible to enumerate accurately the enormous num ber of the chinks in our ancient panoply ! The rust is pretty well rubbed off at last by this time, the uncounted flaws are nearly all repaired—Eng land is armed or arming can-a pie for any emer gency. And we have all been so thoroughly in earnest in the good work—and Mr. BRIGHT for one has again been proved to be so utterly void of any ap preciable influence at all upon the judgment of his fellow-countrymen—that we are now, as we have said, in this year of peace, spending upon our mili tary and maritime forces alone some £30,000,000, or nearly one entire moiety of our appalling an nual expenditure of £70,000,000 ! What renders the situation of our present pre paredness yet more satisfactory is the conviction we may now happily arrive at with confidence, that in doing so we shall not in any way be self-deceived, the conviction arising that there is no reasonable probability of our very soon falling back again into our former indifference. Indeed we have cause in one sense to be in some sort grateful upon this head to our dear friend and ally across the water —who certainly gives us ample reason to keep ever vigilantly upon the alert, and to have our weather eye constantly open. The oldest and wisest amongst us too raise their voices loudly and most persua sively, urging England to remain henceforth keenly on the watch. Instance this, Lord LYNDHURST in the House of Peers, and Lord ;BROUGHAM yet more recently out of it. As to the former venerable Ex-Chancellor, did not TENNIEL'S cartoon in Punch illustrate by an admirable classic reminder the im portance of the warning addressed to his peers not long since by Lord LYNDHITRST ? As to the Chancellor of the University of Edin burgh, he too has, within the last few days, spoken in a kindred strain down in the province thus ad mirably to the point—addressing himself not only to his actual hearers, but beyond them, through the press, to the entire population. Lord BROUGHAM has said—" Now I have recently heard the state of this country with respect to foreign nations at this time frequently alluded to. We are in peace, pro found peace Nay, even in alliance with those who used to be our enemies. Therefore I have no fear or apprehension, no fear of anything happening to in terrupt this blessed condition of peace ; but for that very reason I would be well, well prepared in case of accident. And, therefore, I would not have any of our neighbours, our allies, our friends beyond the water, in Europe to take it amiss, or to be jea lous of those preparations, because preparations are absolutely necessary on all hands, when Europe is at this moment filled with armed men, and sur rounded with armed navies. Without any danger of peace being broken, and without any jealousy of any power whatever—one power more than ano ther—l do greatly rejoice from the bottom of my heart—l rejoice to find that all over all this coun try there prevails the wise, the zealous, the indo mitable desire to prepare effectually for the defence of the country." These are words that must surely have their weight—words that, weighed in the balance of public opinion, must make all the windy nonsense of Mr. BRIGHT kick the beam. They are the utterances, these words of Lord BROUGHAM, the deliberate and profound utterances—not of an alarmist, but of a wise, and far-seeing, and patriotic Englishman. The Duke of Bedford has, we regret to learn, been suffering from indisposition, at his town residence in Bel grave- square. The Marchioness de San Carlos has arrived at Paris from Spain, on a visit to her father, his Excellency Senor Don Juan de Francisco Martin. The marquis accom panied his wife as far as Bayonne, and returned to Madrid to attend the Cortes. Lord and Lady Lindsay, and Mr. lt. Holford, M.P., and Mrs. Holford, have arrived at the Queen's Hotel, Upper Norwood. His Excellency Lieutenant-General Sir Gaspard Le Marchant, Governor of Malta, accompanied by Captain Graham, A.D.C., arrived at Price's Hotel, Dover-street, on Sunday evening. The 200th anniversary banquet of the Scots Fusilier Guards will take place on Tuesday, the 19th proximo, at Willis's Rooms, and not on the 18th, as stated in error yesterday. I3LINGTON PROPRIETARY SCHGOL.—We an nounced some days ago that two of the pupils from this school had, within the last few weeks, gained open scholar. ships at Oxford. Since then Mr. Candy, from the same school, has been elected to an open scholarship at Wadham College. CRICKET.—THE Two ELEVENS.—This very ex citing match was commenced at Lord's yesterday, and it will be seen by the subjoined score that it is a most inte resting contest. There were present upwards of 4,000 spectators, and we anticipate that that number will be ex ceeded to-day. The score is as follows :—All England, first innings, 71 ; United, first innings, 89. DROVE OF PIGS POISONED —On Friday a strange case of poisoning occurred at Habton, in Yorkshire, which will entail upon a farmer there, Mr. Barker, a serious loss. It appears that some powdered hellebore, used for killing lice on stock, had been found by one of the servants, and, although labelled, was supposed to be " colouring," and was mixed with milk. Being a failure, however, the mix ture was most thoughtlessly put into the pig -tub, and the consequence was the poisoning of nearly a dozen valuable pigs in the fold. Some are dead, and the rest are expected to share the same fate. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE BISHOP CARR.—It is proposed to fill in the East and West windows of Bath Abbey Church with stained glass as memorials of the late Bishop Carr, Rector of Bath, and the late Thomas Bellot, Esq., founder of Bath Hospital. THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT WOLVERHAMPTON. —Yesterday the inquest was held at the Horse and Jockey, Wolverhampton ' on the body of Bernard Burns, labourer, who died in the South Staffordshire Hospital, on Saturday forenoon, from the injuries which he received by the boiler explosion on the previous Thursday at the Chillington Com pany's ironworks in that town. The evidence was chiefly as to the construction of the boiler, and a verdict of " Acci dental death" was returned. MATTHEW HENRY TESTIMONIAL—We have pleasure in announcing that the Matthew Henry Memorial is now approaching its coirpletion. The founda4 ion has already been laid in St. Bridget's churchyard, in which parish this eminent commentator odo - Holy Scripture re sided when he wrote his Commentary. There still exists a deficiency of about £lO, and the committee feel sure this need only be made public to secure a sum fully equal to the expenditure incurred.—Cheshire Observer. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF A BATTIER IN TIIE SEKPENTINL-Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westmi ster, held a lengthened inquiry at the workhouse, St. George, llanover-square, on Saturday, as to the cause of the death .of Edward Reynolds, 42 years of age. It appeared from the evidence that on the previous Saturday night the de ceased, after the time allotted to bathers, was found by police-constable 522 A stripped to his shirt, preparatory to bathing in the Serpentine, and was informed by him that, as the hour appointed for b a thi ng h a d e l apse d , h e f or b a d e his doing so. The deceased, ho wever , p ers i s ti ng i n hi s original intention, the constable seized him by the shirt, which the unfortunate man, aft er a b r i e f strugg l e, s li ppe d over his head, and plunged into the water and was seen n , ) more, although he was represented to be an expert swim mer by several witnesses. Search was at once instituted for the body and continued daily until last Friday when it was found &Wing in the middle of the Serpentine. Ver dict, accidentally drowned. LOSSES AMONG THE SHEEP STOCK IN TILE HIGH LANDs.—Tho sheep stock in the Highlands has already suffered severely from the recent winter ; but we understand hat in some districts, and particularly about Glenlyon, new agencies, equally destructive, are now being felt to a consi • derable extent. We allude to the depredations committed by ravens, foxes, and other vermin. The ravens take ad vantage of the weak condition of the sheep, and . , darting down upon them, scoop out their eyes , and not unirequently pierce their lower jaws in order to get at their tongues. A good many sheep have been mutilated in this mAnner, while the fox has caus.l much havoc among the very but of the lambs. We understand that the gamekeepers are exerting themselves to the utmost in carrying on a war of extermination against those vermin; but in spite of their diligence there will always be a remnant which take refuge among the inaccessible rocks.—Perthshire Courier. FRANCE. PARIS, MAY 28. The Foudre, which was to have left Toulon for Naples, has received a counter-order. According to the Semaphore of Marseilles she is to proceed to Morocco, to take on board an Embassy coming to France, among the members of which is a Prince of the blood.
