CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 29th February, shows some rather important altera tions. A slight increase has taken place in the stock of bullion, while the reserve of notes has also been augmented. The other Securities exhibit an increase of about a quarter of a million. The public deposits, as usual at this time of the year, have been considerably augmented, while the pri vate deposits show a rather large diminution. In the other items of the balance-sheet there has been no material alteration, with the ()xcep tion of the Rest, which shows an increase of about a quarter of a million sterling.

The in creased inquiry thus occasioned has caused a slight advance in the rate of discount, anti very few bills being now negotiated under 31 per cent. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday only a limited demand prevailed at about previous rates. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no bullion operations of public importance. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited no material alterations.

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 P. 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 p u bli c , 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 i n di v id ua l enterpr i ze. Th at 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 o f t h e most daring and romantic achievements of our t i me, 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 a n d 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 accord ance with which Sir L. M'Clintock will eeeive his well-deserved reward, —Tinges. SHARE Mil I:X.A S.-( THIS DAY.) ORDIN)LRY SHARES AND STOCKS. j r a Id. Closing Susineas Share Railways. Price. 12.10 Arn ber+_;., Aotting.

MARLBOROUGH STREET• A CASE FOR ANOTHER COURT.—Janes Simpson, of 90, Great Portland-street, tailor, was brought before Mr. Bingham, on a warrant, by O'Shaughtessy, one of the warrant officers, charged as follows : Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-steet, who appeared for the complainant, Mrs. Letilia Simpson, wife of the de fendant, said that his client had recentli been married bo the defendant, who had given way to babas of intempe rence, and when in that state assaulted its wife in a most brutal manner. Mrs. Simpson was pososed of some pro perty, and because she would not alloy him to dispose of it as he thought fit, her husband trotted 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. Ho had threatened her many times with violence, and she went in fear that he would cart 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 £BO, to be of good behaviour for the next six months. THAMES. MARINE SWINDLERS.— Robert liryatt 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 Wet Indies, where they received an advance. The voyage was a short one, and the prisoners only had to receive a balance of 265. or 275. cash when the ship was 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. He remanded the prisoners. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

PRESERTATION 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 pr ox i m ity, 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 largo 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 Itomford Brewery, the usefulness of which 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 now blames the cellar and now the brewer for that which is within his own reach to remedy. The circular above• men tioned states, " that these ales should be laid in during the months of Mph and April, in such quantittes 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 ethers.— 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 dem 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, leave of 41 to 5. North Robert, 3i to 31. East Basal have been in great demand, and no shares offered; the price leaves off 1571 to 1621.-11finin5 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 BT 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, in 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 Ilus 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 PLEDGER." 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 e;n pkyes, 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. H. Reeve, surgeon, of More ton-terrace, and other medical men, were sent for and promptly arrived, and pronounced life extinct. The wound was a desperate one, com pletely severing:the windpipe, and 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, Mr. W. Tits, in the chair, w h en th e r eport was adopted unanimously, and a dividend declared for the year 1859 of 7 per cent, free of income-tom. 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 tot (97t being par), baying fallen to 95 to 1 on the Ist of December, or 3 per per cent. in favour of the bank. There has since been a aartial action to 96. The management was stated to be pruiently and carefully conducted, the directors especially desiring to have a safe and not speculative business. The 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 months. 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 beet2._paid in advance. THE 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, onpre senting their commissions to the railway clerks, the ticket to be available from the sth to the 10th inst. THE SWORD FISH.--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, B r i s t o l. The fish ap pears to have driven its sword through a double sheathing of copper, a plank 2l inches thick, and deep into one of the Nhip'e timbers, when the Weapon broke short off, MIR 1) EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 27th have arrived. A supplement of the 2V oredades states that the Spaniards had not only bombarded but had occu pied Larache, but the semi-official Covrespondencia merely record the bombardment. The fortifica tions of the place, says the latter publication, were armed with 30 cannon, and those of Aroilla with 10. When the attacks commenced the in habitants took to flight. In order to put a stop to the depredations of the followers of the army, a proclamation had been published at Tetuan, threatening with death any one who should steal - even to the amount of a real Baron Clary, a relative of the Emperor of the French, had left Madrid for Tetuan, to witness the operations of the army. Several English, Russian, Prussian, and French officers are stated to be al ready at head-quarters. The Moors, it is said, have entrenched themselves in a position at Fonbach, on the road to Tangier, and hope to be able to offer serious resistance to the Spaniards. A proposition had been made that each province of Spain and the dependent islands should raise by voluntary contri butions a sum sufficient to construct a vessel of war, great or small: If the suggestion should be acted on, 29 vessels would be added to the nab.

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 b orse power of engines. The Mepera 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 difficult 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 want of mechanical power on its quays for hoisting heavy machinery. THE ARMY. Lieut.-Col. Charles Morris, C. 8., has been seleeted by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge to fill the post of Assistant-Inspector of Volunteer 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 Hythe, 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 heal 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. 11. Ilawe!, Capts. W. P. Terry, wifo, and child; W. C. Harvey, wife, and , child; Lieuts. H. G. 11. Grubbe, H. Robarts , and B. 1( . Layard ; 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, 1859, 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 , hithe. 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 brig a d e o f R oya l Marine Light Infantry having from its reduced numbers been formed, 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. Rollo way, C. 8., commanding the brigade, and officers command • , , hig, 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.

LOSS OF SEVEN LIVES TN THE FRITTI OF CLYDE.— Among the casualties which occurred along the Frith of Clyde during the storm of Monday, the most serious took place at Irvine. About 11 o'clock a.m. a schooner was ob. served between Troon and Irvine, labouring heavily. She attempted making Irvine harbour, but did not succeed, and shortly after was driven on shore, to the south of the Bar Perch. As soon as possible the lifeboat was launched, but, being of an old construction, she was found inefficient, not withstanding the almost superhuman exertions of her crew. Again and again was she filled with water in the tremen dous surf that was rolling in to the shore. The on crew the doomed vesse l had taken to the rigging, and one by th e y were seen to drop off as their failing energie s left them powerless and at the mercy of the storm. The vessel turned out to be the Success, of Nantes, laden with grain. She ver y soon broke up, and her timbers and other materials now strew the beach. The cargo, of course, was lost. She was manned by a crew of seven j aul d s 0 1 ,„ watery (tTsgQw grAyee—m 10 , ..*.Ye all met a a-M, AN ITALIAN SECRET SOCIETY. FORLI, FEB, 25. Before leaving Rimini I had made up my mind to stop a few hours at Ccsena, for I was anxious to see with my own eyes how Farini would be aeceived in that ancient city, which still retains the name of the last town of Cisalpine Gaul on the -Ernilian 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 within its walls. These black deeds were per petrated with impunity by a secret society, which, under the pretence of serving the cause of liberty, not seldom mercilessly revenged some private wrong. Although in more than one instapco these horrid crimes had been perpetrated in ImSad 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 thus slain in the streets of Cesena were bad characters, spies of the Papal police, er 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 Archbishop'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 murdered 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 man 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 oat 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 these crimes ? Were they not the logical consequence of the bad and immoral govern ment of Rome ? Could such atrocities have been ~k7erpetrateci. with impunity i n a we ll- ru led country 7 . ou see that I am always forced to come to the same conclusion. Under the government of Papal legates we find assassinations, depredations, immorality of all kinds ; the lives and 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 h ar a i s n b i r k o n a d t t h h e a i t r often noticed by your corre.nspnonntteiniety{somnoatgniganowrieido by the now happy population in warmly greeting they are exalting th th e e ar m ri a v r a i l w of ho F community from a state o . fsomet ling like barbarism to one of civilisation. This was the main cause of the enthusiastic reception of the Governor-General of the /E'milia at Cesena this morning, for every citi zen felt that his peace and security were insured by the wise and determined measures adopted by their illustrious countryman. Now that Cesena h as got rid of those assassins much may be hoped from her. Already, though numbering only 8,686 inhabitants, she has given to the national army 800 volunteers, 600 of whom are still in its ranks. Bad governments make bad institutiona, and bad insti tutions bad citi zens. L et th e generous i nst i nc t s o f the Rom a gnols 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 Parini a splendid 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 Chiarconote, nephews and htirk of Pius VIII. 61f 41i i 2HE NAVY. Vice-Admiral H. IV. Bruce, Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, hoisted his flag at the fore of the Victory yes terday morning, receiving the customary salute from the flagship. The St. Vincent, flagship of Rear-Admiral Su perintendent Hon. G. Grey, also saluted the flag of the gallant Admiral with 15 guns, the Victory returning the honour with 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 canvass, for Lisbon. At 6p.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 undocked on Friday next. The screw steamship Royal William, 91, having received her machinery at .Keyharo, 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 to assist in getting out tho Howe, 121. and then proceed to Queenstovrn. The screw steamship Trafalgar, 91, Captain Fanshawe, from Torbay, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday, and proceeded immediately into Hamaoze for the purpose of repairing, at the Devonport dockyard, the damages received in the Channel during 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, screw ; Bacchante, 51, screw—frigates ; Hornet, 17, screw ; Volcano, 6, paddle—sloops ; Brazen, Beaver, Rainbow, Snapper, Grinder, and Traveller—gunboats.

PROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF TIII! DAILY NEWS. RIMINI, FEB. 24. Had the supporters of the temporal power of his Holiness followed Parini in his triumphant journey through the iEmilian provinces, an opportunity would have been offered to them of revising their opinion about the sentiments by which the Romag nols are animated. llere, 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, to be mistaken. Had the Marquis of Normanby been present at the demonstration offered last night by the people of this town to the Governor-General within the walls cf their magnificent theatre, I think he would have been converted. Our former ambassador at Florence may quote as long as he likes the correspondence of the clerical papers, or his friends' letters, but the eloquence of facts is too much for him. There has bren no not up or official enthusiasm; the ver y s i m pli c it y o f th e pu bli c fes t ivit . le . s is the most s t r iki ng proo f o f th e i r s i ncer ity. Fermi has been received as your Queen would hays 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 masts had 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 the popular 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 hare 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 Rem the Intendente of Ravenna, was kind enough to show me the original sentence by which the famous Legate a latere Rivasola condemned 500 i ndividuals 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 confess 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. ex a the to a 31•C 'di- as np but ous )me ary itry ign ties 1080 not lese, less, ion. rays -the :tur- ork high port. mks re• prin- Stk 20 tech 12.10 Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 13i 20 Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 124 124 Stock Stock 121 121 1 Stock Stock Stock StOA 101 12 10 Stock' Stock Stock Stock, Stock Stock Stock Stock 10t, 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 8.13.4
