LIVERPOOL VOCAL UNION.

Last night the LiVarpool Vocal Union gave a concert
in St. George's-hall,—Miss Whitham acting as solo
soprano, .Mr. Alfred D. Graham as tenor, and Mr.
Delavanti as bass, Mr. Armstrong conducting. The
concert began with the favourite music in "Macbeth "
attributed to Mathew Locke. This went very well, the
chorus ket to their time and were in good tone, and
the solo parts were given satisfactorily by Miss Whit-
ham, Mr. Graham, and Mr. Delavanti. After some
glees and songs, Gounod's trio for violin, piano-forte,
and organ, upon a prelude by Bach, was played by Mr.
E. W. Thomas, Mr. Wilberforce, and Mr. W. T. Best.
It was loudly applauded, and nearly encored, which we
should have' been happy to bear. Mr. E. W. Thomas
and Mr. Best likewise played solos on the violin and on
the organ. The only novelty of the evening was a
pleasing four-part song by Mr. Maybrick, organist at St.
Peter's Church, who is a pupil of Mr. W. T. Best.

VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST

TWO AMERICAN SAILORS.

Yesterday, the inquest touching the death of Martin
Moss, a sailor who died in the Northern Hospital, from
injuries said to have been received on board the American
ship Ocean .Monarch, was resumed before Mr. Wybergh,
the deputy coroner. All the facts in this case were given
in our journal of Monday. Some other witnesses having
been examined as to minor details, the deputy coroner
summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict
of manslaughter against the first and second mates,
Filander Hale and Daniel Davenport, each belonging to
the Ocean Monarch, who, it appeared, had been guilty
of various acts of cruelty to the deceased while on the
homeward voyage. The. coroner issued a warrant for
the apprehension of the tsVo mates.

The lEn3traled London Notes tells us that Sayers
"having now determined to cultivate the arts of peaee,
has made a good beginning by joining a volunteer rifle
Corps."

ITALY AND SICILY,

NAPLES, May 25.

Garibaldi's troops are six miles distant from
Palermo, and occupy the heights surrounding it.
An engagement has taken place, but without a
definite result. The insurgents have maintained
their position, and the royal troops have re-entered
Palermo. Several Neapolitan vessels-of-war have
arrived before Palermo, and a bombardment was
feared should a rising take place in the city.
[Official.] NAPLES, May M.

This morning the insurgent bands were attacked
by our troops, beaten and driven from a strong
position at Parco, now occupied by our columns.
The insurgents have sustained great losses.
Another column is pursuing them ,in the direc-
tion of Plana.

account.of the success which has already attended
Garibaldi's movements.

TURIN, May 27.

The discussion on the treaty of cession was
resumed to-day in the Chamber of Deputies.
Deputy Bottero demonstrated that Nice never
had any sympathies with France, and declared
that, without wishing to overthrow the Ministry,
he should vote against the treaty, in order that
Nice might fall under Italian rule. He also said,
Nice is embodied in one man, and that is Garibaldi.
Can it be said, then, that Nice is not Italian.
Deputy Ferrari said France is with is because
her mission is against the treaty of Vienna.
Napoleon represents both absolutism and revolu-
tion. He desires to oppose the treaty of 1815
with us, but the policy of Count. Cavour compro-
mises Italy. The cession of Savoy and Nice is
a mistake. Do not let us be ungrateful to
Napoleon, but let us tilt give away our land.
Our alliance with France is the tillifidc6 of the
weak with the strong. The House of Savoy
should adopt a revolutionary policy, and
reform its laws. Deputy Ferrari announced
that he would vote against the treaty.
Signor Borelvitt said Piedmont fought in the
Crimea to acquire the right of addressing the
Powers in favour of Italy. After that, in order
to drive back Austria, it was necessary for us to
ally ourselves to France, and to grant an aggran-
disement to the latter as a compensation. Gra-
titude should attach us to the Emperor ; for none
of the preceding dynasties of the last half century
have afforded us assistance. Let us then vote in
favour of the treaty, and not create new enemies.
Signor Chiaves sought to prove that Nice was
Italian ; and said universal suffrage is not appli-
cable to our nation!ality, He, however, submitted
to necessity, and should Oate for the treaty.
Signor •Boggis defended the treaty, gild pointed
out the advantages of the alliance, declaring that
be shoUld vote for the treaty.

PARIS, May 2S.

The Patrie of this evening says the despatches
received from Sicily are very cohtradictory. One
of them again asserts that Bixio has been killed.
The Patric adds—" The insurrection is being
organised to such an extent that its definite result
is no longer doubtful. The fall of Palermo is
inevitable; being only a question of time. As
soon as the insurrection becomes mistress of
Palermo, Garibaldi will hectare Sicily annexed to
the Italian Kingdom, reserving the ratification of
his resolution to universal suffrage. A provisional
Government, under the presidency of Garibaldi,
would then direct the insurrection.

VIENNA, May 28.

A telegram from the Austrian embassy at
Naples has been received here, which asserts tha'
Garibaldi and his volunteers had been routed.
ANTIBES, May 27.

Some inhabitants of the county of Nice •are

are being signed.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNIA., May S.

The first session of the enlarged council of the
empire will, according to the programme of the
cabinet, only be of a preparatory character, and
will merely deliberate on the organic basis of the
new governmental edifice. The Emperor will not,
therefore, open the session of the 31st instant, by
a speech, nor will the present President be
replaced. The Archduke Renier will continue to
preside over the council of the empire. After
this preparatory sitting, the council will be
formally constituted by the deputies of the
provincial diets, and by those archdukes who will
take their scats in the council by order of the
Emperor. It is supposed that the Archduke
Ferdinand Maximilian will then be definitely
appointed president of the council of the empire.
