THE Thrillibifitls_ ON THE 18TH

Air—" John Gilpin:l
Oh, Kelly is a citizen of very great renown,
The pride, not only of his own, but every ether town;
Now Kelly, though it may seem queer, so hard at work fie

,been
Of late,,tha4 he, for many years, no holiday has seen, .
So, Thursday being a gala day, he thought that he might spare
Himself for once, an etc not mists° splendid an affair ;
He gave his men a holiday, for him you always find,
Though on his own amusement bent, to' &tem ever kind.
The morning came, he dressed himself in " gorge=ous array,"
And to the spot he thought the best he quickly takes Vie wad ;
The crowd behind the barricades, which formed so dense a mass;
No sooner saw him, than it ope'd its ranks to let him pass;
Thus he obtained a splendid place to view whate'er befel,
And many would have given worlds could they have seen as

well
Now the Artillery brigades, preceded by their guns,
In sight appear, and through the crowd a wondering murmur

runs;
'TWere hard to match in all the world that firm and stalwart

Of warriors, ready ,„ when required, to guard their native land ;
Then came the. gallant Engineers; and after them are seen
The Riflemen in uniforms of scarlet, grey, or green:
Each volunteer moves gaily by, ahtl treats with calm disdain,
The mud and cold, and worse than all this never-ceasing rain.
The Magistrates and Aldermen had all passed by, and then
Arose a cheer, which those who heard will seldom hear atfain ;
For in a noble equipage the Mayor of this great town
Was tented and with him there came no less than WILLI/of

BROWN,
Whose noble gift on es bestowed on that auspicious day,
Will stand his monment for aye when he has passed away.
When all was over, wrapt in tiiotlght, home went the BUTTER-
MAN,
From what he saw he took a hint, and formed this little plan,
If fate on him bestow the means he'll act like WILLI'As BROWN,
Amf will a splendid Butter Place present unto the town II! ! !
So let the town cry "Long live BROWN," and KRLLY, long
live he ;
And if he only has the cash, he'll keep kis word you'll see.

Forty thousand pounds paid for the Library ;
Forty thousand persons are weekly sipplied by Kelly;
A Bonus is periodically announced by the insittante companies
A Bonus is granted in each transaction at the Butter Place :
The run on the Yellow Eightpeiury is remarkable,
Its quality is more remarkable ;
But the niott remarkable is the inexhaustible supply.

THE BUTTER PLACE
IS-TOP OF WILL/AMSON-SQUARE.

YELL! OH! BUTTER THERE
AT BD. PER POUND.
ANY QUANTITY.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1860,

NEWS OF THE DAY.

A telegram from Turin informs us that the result of
the voting at Palermo on the question of annexation to
Piedmont was 36,232 ayes to 20 noes. Signor Farini
goes to Naples as Royal Commissioner Extraordinary,
and Signor Montegemolo to Sicily in a similar capacity,
to carry the annexation in each case into effect.
It appears from a telographich despatch from Naples
that the number of votes given in that city 'in favour of
annexation was no less than 154,000 a figure which is
greatis in excess of the number of qualified electors,
but it is explained that a vast number of persons were
allowed to record thcir votes who were not enrolled,
by establishing their right to enrolment, and their
nationality. The voting being now ended, and the
result satisfactory, Garibaldi will immediately demit his
authority in favour of King Victor, agreeably to the
official dedati4ion made by him previously to the vote
being taken.
i The strangers resident in Naples have signed and
transmitted to King Victor the following address, which
was draviri lip in the French language :—" To his
Xing of Italy.—Sire,—The
Majesty Victor En/Manuel,
foreigners who have been resident in Naples for some
years past, are naturally interested in the providential
events which are accomplished under the authority of
your name, and by the happy audacity of the great
patriot Garibaldi. They come, to-day, to unite their
voices to those of the whole nation, which calls you with
anxiety to govern it, and re-assure it against the ambi-
tions and the illusions of a factious minority. The
almost unanimity of the citizens of this country repro-
bates these intrigues, and waits for your arrival. We
wish to join with them in saying 'Come Sire.' May
your fidelity (Myaute) yet sate that Southern Italy,
which already forms part of your Italy. She asks only
that she may flourish under your regular and beneficent
authority, which has for its motto, 'Order and liberty.' "
A severe disaster has happened to the Garibaldians or
Italians. It occurred on the 20th, in the vicinity of
a town in the Abruzzi. A column of Garibaldians and
National Guards fell into an ambush, and was cut to
pieces by some rudely armed peasants, assisted by a
a body of Royalists, no prisoners being taken. There
will, in all probability, be some more fighting before the
line of the Volturno is finally abandoned by the Neapo-
litans. But the circle formed by the Garibaldians and
the Piedmontese is daily closing around the debris of
the Neapolitan army, and the last act of the drama may-
be safely predicted to be at hand. Admiral Mundy
and the French Admiral have left Naples for Gaeta, not
only to break the blockade of that port, but to protect
the flight of the King.
The Paris Presse contains a letter from the head-
quarters of General Bixio, dated Santa Maria, near
Capua, the evening of the 19th, which gives the follow-
ing version of the skirmish in which the English legion
was engaged on that day :—" Yesterday the Pied-
montese were attacked; to-day it was the turn of the
English. Attacked by two battalions from Capua, they
not only defended themselves with bravery, but thrashed
the Royalists in such a manner that they will never
forget the steel of the Enfield bayonets. The English
