NEWS OF TILE DAY.

Th 6 Cabinet of Turin has evidently not been either an
idle or an indifferent spectator of the progress of events
in Naples. )1 force of, 30,000 men, under General
Cialdini, has by this time been asiembfed. at Genoa,
ready to be despatched from that port to Naples, as soon
as the signal arrives of the departure from his capital of
Francis 11. ; and at the same time, the whale of the dis-
posable naval force of Sardinia,--=-which will be very re-
spectable, indeed, *het 'it his been joined by the Nea-
politan naVy,j--his 'be'en ordered to Naples; many of the
shio,.iio doubt, having troops on board. As to this step,
everybky must see that it is a very natural one : in fact,
the only one, which.has a chance of not being opposed,
and, What is of still more importance, the one which is
the least likely. to involve the farther sheds iiis o blood.
There remains, no .doubt, the claims of Prince Murat,
but, as the frinee dedares that he pats them forward,
conditionallY on their being supported by the wishes of
the Neapolitans, as the saute May be etpressed by uni-
versal suffrage, to which he has- no means of ap-
pealing, -and which would be- agairst him if he
had, Muratism, in like matter With Mazzinism, may be
dismissed withal, Inrther misgiving, so long at least,
as each is self-supporting.
From Naples, with the exception of the intelligence
that the King has agreed to pay to France £120,000,
as an indemnity for the losses suffered' by the
French residents during the bombardinent of Palermo,
and thatthe insttrrectioYtary radius is hohrly enlarging,
we hate 110 news' later than that which is supplied by
our own correspondents. G4ribaldi and Victor Emmanuel
are both, there is every reason to heliete, at' ie gates,
almbst the' only question tha't now remains for Francis
11. to consider is, whether he shall accept the hosPitality
of Austria Or of Spain :.Queen.lsabella having written
to hercousin to state that the Palace at Seville is at his
disposal, should he feel inclined to accept the use of it.
Th 4 reason now assigned for General Guyon's retire-
ment from the command of the French gar 16n .00cu-
pying Rome is, that he had, in. frleildly intercourse with
Pio None., pledged himself to do more than his commis-
sion warranted, it never having been his instruction
from the French Government to act in concert with
Lamonciere;or interfeie outside Rome in any conflict
with Italians. General de Moue, who succeeds him, is
strictli confined to the safe custody of the Eternal City
and its outlet; Civita Vecchia, 'co4rising, of course,
the railway. the tract of. tai between the Dictator
of the Two kiiellies and the northern—kingdom, ,may
afford a battle-ground for some autumnal collisiohs, but
it is not likely long to be a bar to a junction and amal
gamation of both into one-continuous nationality. There.
is nothing particularly encouraging in the attolint which _
is given elsewhere, in our eci4Mas, of the present con-
dition and !respects of the Force tinder General Lamo-

riciere:

Find Pasha is cordially doing his best to leave
nothing to be denie by the Fienctl. St appears that
out of 167 individuals arrested at Damascus on the
charge Of having taken part in the massacres in that
city, he has Caused 56 to be hanged in the public streets,
and the remaining 11l to be shot in the public squares.
We are led to expect, also, that these summary and
indiscriminate acts of just vengeance will be foileWed up
for some time tO cOnie..
The next mail froM China will probably bring the
long wished for news that a silceesst'ul blow has at
length reached the 'teart of that empire. Lord Elgin
would not easily have retained his justly earned reputa-
tion as the most successful British representative in
these seas, had he listened to the wish of Baron Gros
to delay the advance until the numbers of the Fitnch
contingent should have been Made tip, by the arrival of
expected reinforcements; to these Of the English. France
must be content occasionally to occe!,y ii liosition of
inferiority as regards numbers; in the Military, as Tell
as in the naVal branch of the service.
We would direct attention to the letter of " Vindex"
in another column, in which he suggests•that, as the
Volunteers were unable to realise the proposal of march-
ing in a body through' the town, advantage should be
taken of 'the approaching holiday on the occasion of
opening the New Fi-ee. Library, tO
Volunteer prof tsEt.'"n In honour of .the event and in the
interests of the Volunteer movement. Doubtless our
Volunteers will gladly avail themselves of the hint, and
we feel assured that the sight would be a most acceptable
treat to tens of thottsands of the humbler inhabitants of
our courtsand alleys, who have never had an opportunity
of beholding our whole Volunteer force in full' marching

order.

The commanding o i:cer Of the first Lanarkshire Rifle
.Voluitteers, writing to :the says,—ln the letters
in your columns ozi the enrolment of Artisan Volunteers,
'I haie observed no allusion to the circumstance that the
.hours 'at which they are. able to parade are later than
those which suit most other Volunteers, unless, perhaps,
on: Saturday. In this respect. the
_plan of uniting the
artisan companies in the same battalion with -other
'ccimpanies. will be (mind, more workable' than that of
enrolling in the seine company persons. whose leisure
hisirs do not coincide) although the fusion' of
classes may not be se complete.' By the former
arrangement each •Volunteer tan attend• company
drill' at, the OnYgUig.a.. to himself, and one
hattalion drill in the !week may be made available
L 'for all; and the desiderated union of classes will' in some
degree be attained by Means' of the equalising 'of corn=
required for battalion movements. Lord Elcho
haS tendered 'ie' greater Service to the Vobinteer force
than impressing, on the public the importance of eco-
nomy. Nor is it to " artisans" alone that economical
and provident arrangements are essential. Many a
Volunteer, whose position obliges him to dress and to
live more exiensiVeli 'than the artisan,' receives" •aS
'entitle' salary a less income than the other does in the
form Of'Wee)rly.• wages. Yet his facilities for efficiency
are even greater than those of the artisan, because . his
domicile is more permanent, and his opportunities Of
drilling,by daylight more freqnent.
