ITALY.

The Opinione of August 17th, says:—
General Cialdini is maid to have reminded the
Government that he had only provisionally accepted
the Lieutenancy of Naples, that he would preserve
the military command, and would accomplish his
mission of purging the country of brigands, but that
li. o.abt no long.. ocezny himaelt with the civil
administration. _ _ _ _

He now demands, therefore, adds the report, that
a Lieutenant should be appointed in his stead.
Another motive for this resolution is stated to be
the disagreement which wow between General
Cialdini and Signor Lanselli on the occasion of the
demonstrations recently made against the Deputies.
General Cialdini will continue to exercise the
functions of the Lieutenancy until a new Lieu-
nant shall have been provided by the ministry.
It has been several times rumoured within the
last few days that General Cialdini had resigned
the civil administration of Naples, and merely re-
t ined his military post. This rumour, which was
circulated even in the Turin Opinione, receives a
denial by the latest intelligence we have received.
The foundation for the rumour is alleged to be th-,t
Signor Cantelli, Cialdini's Secretary, and Sign
Blasio, have resigned their posts—or at least, only
retain them until successors shall have been al -
pointed. We shall be glad if the contradiction 4
Cialdini's resignation proves to be correct.
Although his resigning the cif il administration would
' not interfere with —perhaps would even leave him
more leisure for—his military duties, we should
nevertheless regret any present change in the
Neapolitan Government. The military part of the
work seems to proceed most satisfactorily. Every-
where we hear of the brigandage being routed.
It is believed in Turin that Garibaldi will visit
Naples on the 7th September, the anniversary of
the day on which be entered the city in peaceful
triumph.
A telegram from Rome states that despite all
th e efforts of the Roman police the subscription
to the Cavor monument proceeds actively there.
The Emperor's/ere day was brilliantly celebrated
both in Naples and in Rome.
It is stated that his Royal Highness l'rinoe Albert
has entered a protest against the military convention
concluded between Prussia and the Duchy of Saxe-
Cobourg, in the name of his son, Prince Alfred,
presumptive heir of that Duchy.
The programme of the Queen's journey to Ireland
is published. She will leave Osborne on Wednesday
morning, embark at Holj head about seven the same
evening, and reseh the Viceregal Lodge, Phamix-
park Dublin, before midnight. On this occasion
the journey will be strictly private—no loyal gather-
ings and greetings of her Majority's subjects at the
stations where the royal train may stop ars to be
allowed.

Hiißoyil Highness Prince Alfred arrived at
Liverpool, from Canada, on Saturday last, by the
Arabia stesinar. A harp commas of ladies alid
gentlemen were assembled to mimes Bis Royal

Highness, and on hightailing cheered him with gnat
enthosiaani. His Royal HiKliness immediately on
landing entered the Mayor s state carriage, and
drove off to the Lime.strect station of the London
and North•Westorn Railway, where he entered the
saloon carnage which was waiting for him, and
starlet for London at a quarter.past 11 o'clock. At
the stati‘m considelable numbers were also assem•
bled to inert him and witness his departure. They
cheered him loudly and with great enthusiasm, an
immense amount of disappointment being felt that
ho did not remain • day or two in Liverpool. His
Royal Highness, it is understood, is on • three
months' leave of absence, and was naturally desirous
of meeting his august relatives at the earliest possible
moment. He expressed great satisfaction with the
arrangements made for his reception,and also with the
accommodation he had experienced on board the
Arabia.
The King of Sweden left England for his own
dominions on Saturday.
A sermon was preached on Sunday in St.
George's, Bloomsbury, by the present rector, the
Rev. Mr. Bayley, on the late Bishop of Durham.
The preacher entered upon fuller details of the late
bishop's conversion to christianity, alluded to by
himself in one of his public speeches.. The funeral
of the deceased took place at Bishop Auckland on
Friday, and was numerously attended.
A fatal steam boiler explosion occurred on Satur-
day in a sawmill establishment at NewinOmt. The
explosion was one of immense force, blowing the
roof and walls of the engine-house away. fl.
happily, the man in attendance on the engine wet
killed, and his son. • little boy, who hash just
entered, was so horribly injured as also to aspire
shortly afterwards. Much damage besides waa
done.
We again hate to record a singular murder of one
boy by another. It took place at Birkenheed on
Friday evening. The two boys, one of nine and
the other a little younger, were at play; a quarrel
MVOS, when the younger of the two pulled out a
knife and thrust it into the neck of his playmate.
The jugular vein was severed, and death followed
quickly. The youthful murderer is in custody.
The South Lancashire election took place on
Saturday last, when Mr. Tenter, the Conservative
candidate, was returned by • majority 61'837 votes
beyond those obtained by Mr. Cheetbstra the
Liberal candidate. South Lancashire has Dow three
Conservative members, and the fact is therefore wield
that Toryism is in the ascendency in that &Mid.
But why? We shall probably have some reworks
to make on the subject in our next
