Garibaldini ; but I will say that there are seines
of men in this movement who purposely impose
their pernicious counsels upon the too-confiding,.-
Garibaldi, in order to drag the State into the
peril, for their own personal ambition
and interest. lam not the only man who has
given utterance to this assertion; the honest and..
independent PresS, almost in the same terms,.
warn the country against these men. It is also a
well-known fact to every man in Turin and Milan
that these men, under the pretext of patriotism,
and the importance of the present moment, have
had recourse to every means to induce the soldiers
.of_the army to desert, knowing that the army
cannot spare a Iran, and that circumstances may
occur from one day to another so as to render the
service of every soldier of the greateSt importance
for the security of the country. Sardinia is at
present surrounded by enemies on all sides, and
some of her worst are the Italians themselves,
who pass muster for honest enthusiastic patriot..
Bertani has issued, on the 4th instant, a most
exciting address to- the youth of Italy, urging-,
them .to 'enrol themselves under the N'ational
banner, this being the most vital moment for the
regeneration of Italy. Offices are established.
in every city, and the enrolment carried on in the
most public manner. In order to give greater
eclat to the movement, there is a species of the
English enlisting dodge carried on in this city,
namely; many of the young volunteers are
mounted in full dress a la Bersagliere Piemontese,
with plumed' hat a la Calabrese, white gaiters and
short sword a la Chasseurs d'Afrique, which gives
them a very dashing, somewhat theatrical
appearance, and serves as a snare to thoSe youths
who are still wavering between the imagined
glories of a Garibaldini's life and the affectionate
injunctions and prayers of parents. '
A correspondent at Naples writes to the Per-
sereranza of this city expressing his surprise
that, notwithstanding: the great eieitement
at present reigning among the Neapolitans, their
evident disposition to turn against the King, and
the numerous secret societies in active operation,.
still they have been unable to drive the citizens
into rebellion against the government. lam
equally surprised, but not for the same reasons as
those of the correspondent of the Perseveranza,
because nearly all the reports that we receive
from that city are the most impudent exaggera-
tions of the actual state of the kingdom, which
is admitted by their own journals ; but there is
one fact which surprises me more than all the
reasons put forth by the above correspondent—
namely, about ten days ago, the Secret Liberal
Committee—or, rather, to call them by their
name, several influential members cf the Repub-
lican Committee, finding the slow progiess that
their agents were making with the people of
Naples, started from Genoa to Naples to per-
sonally superintend the exertions of their party,
in older to create a reVclution in that capital;
bat which city, we hear' by a telegram dated
Naples, sth inst., is perfectly tranquil, and that
all negotiations having failed to induce Garibaldi
to consent to an armistice, the Neapolitan GoVern-
ment were making the most energetic prepara-
tions for whatever attempt he might make to.
invade the Neapolitan Kingdom. Let us hope
that the good fortune that has favoured every
movement of the Italian hero, will not blindly
lead him upon an undertaking (unless assured of
the support of the apathetic Neapolitan) that
might destroy his late brilliant victories in Sicily.
Since the arrival of Depretis in Sicily, every-
thing has gone on in better order, and now some-
thing like a systematic organisation of the different
branches of the administration is beginning to
shew itself,- and greater confidence inspired
among every class of the people. It is reported
that in a few days Depretis kill proclaim the
Sardinian statute, which will be followed by the
elections and meeting of the Sicilian Assembly.
Garibaldi has .deputed V. Orsini, the Director
General of Artillery, to send a large bell to the-
church of Santa Maria degli Angioli, of Palermo,-
the monks of the convent being the first to com-
mence the fire against the royal troops, accompa-
nying the gift with a request, that on the 4th of
April of every year, this bell should remind the
inhabitants that at that spot was commenced the
work for the liberty of Sicily, and the annihilation
of the iron rule of the tyrannical Bourbons.

Within the last week there has been thO
greatest activity among the Papal troops, and
concentration of several additional battalions at
Spoleto, Corneto, and Fulizio, which proves that
Lamoriciere was not ignorant of the contemplated
invasion of the Garibaldini. An official report,
published a few days ago, shews the-Papal force
to be over 24,000 men; to which number it. is
proposed to add the Bavarians-and Swiss that are
to be discharged from the Neapolitan army, so
that- between Naples and Rome, the task of the
Garibaldini will not be so easy as many anticipate.
WEDNESDAY, Aug. Bth, 4 p.m.

In the hope of sending you some interesting
news from Sicily, I have kept mY letter open tilt
this moment ; but the Lombardia, which is
published about this hour, does not even contain
a telegram from either Naples or Sicily. Bertani
started for Sicily on the 6th instant, to personally
consult with Garibaldi on the affair of the late
proposed Papal invasion. Yesterdu Turr arrived
at Genoa, and sets out for' Sicily to-morrow.
His health is but little improved.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

FIRST APPEARANCE'OF MR. D. FISHER;

Last night this very popular- actor, from .the New
Adelphi, London, commenced a brief engagement by
appearing before a good audience as Victor in " The
Lancers," and as John Baxter in a new farce, per-
formed for the first time in Liverpool, entitled " Love
and Hunger. " ‘"Tlie Middy Ashore" was ably sustained
by Miss Goodall, who sang and acted her part with the
greatest spirit and animation. She was enthusiastieally
enCored in the song of "The. Bay of Biscay, Oh." She
was, very efficiently supported by Mr. W. Cooper, as Tom
Cringle.

To-night the celebrated American comedian, Mr. H_
Watkins is to give the first of three performances, as
,Toeko (a deformed slave) in "The Pioneers 4 America"
Mr. Fisher will appear as De Brissae in "par Wife;"

AMATEUR PERFORMANCE IN AID OF
THE BROUGH TESTIMONIAL FUND.

"St. Cupid" is added to the plays which will be per-
formed at the Amphitheatre in aid of this fund, and Mr.
Copeland, with his usual liberality, has given permissien
for the ;nisc en scene from the late pantomime, to be
added to the evening's entertainment. The performance at
Manchester promises to be a great success, as the bands
of the 'Volunteer Corps of that town are going to attend.
We are informed that a similar application will be for-
w .rded for the ;Volunteer bands to attend the perform-
ance at the Amphitheatre, and we have no doubt but
that the request will be acceded to. At Manchester,
books are open for the receipt of subscriptions for the
funds, which are being rapidly filled up. Mr. Copeland
handed over to Mr. C. Millward, the local director of
the performance, last evening, the sum of .£5 55., being
Sir William Don's subscription. We shall be happy to
receive any subscriptions towards the fund at our office,
3, Brunswick-street, and we have no doubt that this
example will be followed by our local contemporaries.

SIB. CHARLES WOOD AND THE BENGAL CHAMBER

OF COMMERCE.—Tbe Calcutta Price Current, of the 3rd
July, published by the Bengal Chamber of Commerce,
contains the following paragraph :—" The committee of.
the Chamber of. Commerce has noticed, with surprise,
the statement of Sir Charles Wood in the House of
Commons, on the 24th May, that the new customs
tariff had been entered into with the general concur-
rence of the chamber ; it being well known to the local
government that its course has been one of protest and
remonstrance from the commencement "
WELSH BIBLIOGRAPHY.—Her Majesty's Librarian
requests the aid of Welsh scholars towards an object,
which he explains in the following note :—" My friend,
Mr. E. G. Salisbury, of Glen-Aber, Chester, has now
raised his collection to the number of 2,500 or 3.000
volumes;; and he is about to print a catalogue of them,
as a contribution to Welsh bibliography. The books
may be claSsified generally as (1) works on Wales and
the border counties, (2) works in Welsh, and (3) works
by Welshmen and natives of the border counties. But
the catalogue will be arranged under the. three divisions
of works published before 1800 ; those published in the,
first half of the present century ; and those published
since 1850. The requests which I would prefer to,
librarians and collectors of books coming under any of
of the three classes mentioned above are, that they
would be so good as to communicate to Mr. Salisbury
the titles of any such works as they may possess, in full,
and, if possible, accompanied by some brief description,
especially if published abroad; and that, if they have
duplicates,
_they would obligingly indicate the fact, and
their willingness to part with them by exchange, or on
any ether terms."
