.in from :Catania, bringing the remnant of the
garrison of that place, whence we conclude that
all was up with the royalists there. Here all is
perfectly quiet, but commerce is not thought of.

The ,Cologne Gazette asserts that the Queen
mother of Naples has been formally requested by
her son to withdraw from Naples. The Paris
correspondent of the Globe says that twelve
transports had left Naples in tow of steamers,
to embary the garrison, late of Palermo.
It is asserted that 15,000 guns have been sent to
Italy from England since the setting out of the
expedition of Garibaldi. The price paid for them
was 18s. each.

It is believed that hostilities will not be re-
sumed at Palermo. The authorities are engaged
in devising the means for preventing the further
effusion of blood. It was on the 30th of May
that General Garibaldi went on board the Han-
nibal, British man-of-war, to meet the Neapolitan
delegate, charged to demand an armistice. The
Neapolitan conditions were—first, the retention
of their respective positions by both parties;
second, liberty to attend to the wounded, and to
remove them on board the fleet ; third, permission
to supply provisions to the hospital for the poor ;
fourth, the municipality should address to the
Royal Commissioner a requisition for the
concession of such reforms and institutions as
might be necessary for the country. The first
points were consented to by Garibaldi without
difficulty, but he peremptorily rejected the fourth,
and the conference was broken up. Nevertheless,
hostilities did not recommence on the following
day, and the armistice, which was fixed to ter-
minate to-day, was still under discussion.
The Times says, in a leader, the armistice
between the two hostile parties has already
expired, and we may expect to have at any hour
news that the fighting has been brought to an
end by the capitulation of the army.

The recent embarkation of 800 Chasseurs of
the Alps at Genoa, to reinforce Garibaldi, was
effected without any possibility of the Govern-
ment offering resistance, as it was known that if
troops had been marched down to stop the ship-
ment of these auxiliaries, the soldiers would have
commenced going on board themselves.
The Paris correspondent of the Herald quotes
private letters from Turin, which state that the
Sardinian Government will have to support Gari-
baldi, and therefore go to war with Naples, or it
will have to put down an insurrection at home,
so excited is public opinion becoming in Piedmont.
It was reported, as a kind of half measure, that
Cavour was about to send a Commissioner Extra-
ordinary to Sicily. Orders had been given to
prepare for sea all the men-of-war at Genoa and
Spezzia.

It is stated that the Emperor of Russia has
sent a telegraphic message to the Emperor and
Empress of France, expressing his gratitude for
the attention and deference shown by their
Majesties to the Dowager Empress of Russia. It
is also stated that the Dowager Empress was very
anxious to accept an invitation made by the
Emperor and Empress of the French to visit Fon-
tainebleau, but that her Majesty's physicians ob-
jected, on the ground that it might prove too great
an exertion for her Majesty's health. These facts
are significant.

Tha Nord states that after his return from the
Eastern provinces, the Prince Regent of Prussia
will proceed to the Rhenish frontiers. It is
affirmed that his Royal Highness will have an
interview with the Emperor Napoleon.
It is believed that overtures for a treaty
between France and the Zollverein have been at
least unofficially rejected by the Prussian Cabinet.
The publication of the petition from the
manufacturers of Rouen to the Emperor,
begging for the admission of spun cotton, if
not duty free, at all events with no higher an
imposition than five per cent., has been hailed as
the fir Sit neknowledgement of error on the
part of the French protectionists.
The Austrian Government, with a view of
reorganising the representative system of the
provinces, is about to extend the authority of the
Central Congregation in Venetia. Deliberative
votes will be granted to it. On a large num-
ber of administrative questions the decisions of
this congregation will become law upon being
signed by the President. It will in future decide
on judicial affairs without further appeal. The
only reservation made in favour of the Central
Administration is the approbation of proposed
expenditure and revision -of provincial treasury
accounts. In order to re-establish the national
character of the municipal system in Venetia, all
franchises and immunities granted by patent of
26th April, 1815, are to be confirmed.

It is reported by the Journal de Havre in
reference to the treaty with Abyssinia, which
was regarded as an indication of hostility to
England, that the Emperor has adjourned the
ratification.

A letter from Rome, in the Paris Union, says :
The health of Cardinal Wiseman inspires great
uneasiness. Successive relapses leave little hope
of his recovery.
The position of the Ministry is considered
embarrassing, and the usual rumours of probable
resignations and secessions were circulated yes-
terday. The Herald, referring to the late divi-
sion, says, a very little exertion on the part of
the Conservatives would have sealed the fate of
the bill for the present session.

The Times endeavours to show that the
present struggle on the Reform Bill is only
as to which party will bear the odium of
its death. The Opposition would not for
the world put it to death—the Govern-
ment would not, under any consideration, give
reason to suspect their zeal and sincerity in that
great cause of Parliamentary Reform; yet, as the
two Houses will not pass a Reform Bill this
session; this great public hypocrisy must soon

cease.

The Londonderry. Election Committee has
unanimously decided that Mr. M'Cormick was
duly elected.
Another fictitious bill of exchange has just
been presented at a London bank. It is dated
Stettin, May 22nd, 1860, for £450, drawn by C.
Maurice on Samuel Montage, accepted payable
at the Union Bank of London, and endorsed S.
Cohen. The acceptor's name, Samuel Montage,
London, is made to appear like that of Samuel
and Montagu, a respectable and well-known firm.
Mr. Jacob Reynolds, a leading man at Lloyd's,

The bust of Sir John Pakington, G.C.8., by

Hospital on Tuesday, by a deputation from the

tion of the services rendered to the medical depart-
ment by the right honourable baronet while First
Lord of the Admiralty.
The Queen went on Thursday to honour Ascot
Races with her presence. The royal procession
left the Castle in eleven carriages, at twenty
minutes past twelve o'clock. Numerous outriders,
in scarlet livery, attended the royal cortege. The
Queen returned to the Castle at twenty-five
minutes past five. Rain fell with little inter-
, mission throughout the day.
On Wednesday evening last a conference of vari-
ous of the leading cattle-salesmen and dealers con-
nected with Lancashire and Cheshire took place,
when the question of providing a sufficient and
economical supply of butchers' meat for the market
was takenup. It was stated that the present supply
of fat cattle was being obtained from Hamburgh,
Rotterdam, and Oporto ; that the freight of bringing
