TURIN, Ocr. 20.

Sir James Hudson arrived in Turin yesterday,
and dined with hissuceesaor, Mr. T. Elliott. It is not
certain in what part of Italy Sir J. Hudson will
choose his abode, but it will probably be in
Lombardy.
A rather singular suit, and one which I should
call a historical scandal, is impending here. The
male line of the house of Este, which has been ren-
dered famous by the ill-deserved praises of Arioato
and Two, became extinct in the last century. The
titles of the Eno family were assumed by an
Austrian Archduke, a descendant from the royal
house in the female line ; and it was in this way
that Francis IV. and Francis V. became Dukes of
Modena and Reggio. Now, however, a Hungarian
Prince—Signor Francis Augustus Crouy Chanel—
has applied to the Modena'e tribunals, on behalf of
himself and his heirs, to be declared Marquis
d'Eate—a title which, according to him, was unlaw-
fully assumed by the ex-Duke of Modena. The
Prince has engaged three of the most able
lawyers of Italy, Manchini, Tecchio and C 16141114,
to prove that he has descended legitimately, and
that the ex-Duke of Modena has descended ille-
gitimately, from the house of Este. He has
important documents to prove his claim, and it
appears all but certain that he can show that the
female from whom the late Dukes of Modena claim
was an illegitimate daughter. At all events Francis
V. is cited to appear before the proper tribunal of
Modena on the 12th of December next, but it is
not probable that he will appear before the court,
but that he will allow judgment to go by
default. Francis V. has lost his throne, and
he may also lose this title, but he has property
to the value of something like a hundred millions.
But Signor Crouy Chanel, though of a noble Hun-
garian family, is not wealthy ; and even should
he gain the title of Marquis d'Eate he will not be
the richer, nor will his creditors be much benefited
thereby. Prince Crouy Chanel is a man of parts,
and is regarded with favour by the Emperor of the
French, who on many occasions has behaved kindly
towards him. I may add that this prince
is also a pretender to the throne of Hun-
gary as a descendant of the Hamada, and
this is perhaps one reason why he has been favour
ably received by the Emperor of the French, who
is also a friend to the Poniatowaki family, who
were deprived of the throne of Poland. The Hun-
garian and Modenese pretender has no male off-
spring, and Francis V. has no offspring at all, so
that the house of Este bids fair to become extinct.

The information from Caprera shows that Gari-
baldi can walk a fair distance without support.
There is also better news of the health of General
Cia!dial The Italian government has caused to be
arrested in a foreign country another Neapolitan
brigand, who had a Papal passport. But this
arrest will not raise any question like that of the
Annie. The present malefactor was the chief of a
band against whom the courts of Naples issued a
warrant on account of assassination and robbery.
His name is de °corgi. He went to Smyrna to
spend in riot the fruits of his misdeeds. The Italian
consul having given information on the subject, the
Minister for Foreign Affairs bad him arrested, and
an Italian vessel stationed at the Dardanelles was
despatched to bring him to Naples, v here he will
have to answer for his mimes, which are as black as
those of Cipriano la Gala.
The railway between Milan and Piacenza has
been interrupted in consequence of the floods
having destroyed a considerable part of the tem-
porary bridge over the Po. General Menabrea,
Minister of Public Works, went at once to the spot,
in order to re-establish the communication. Happily
the rain has ceased for the last two days.•
General della Rovers, Minister of War, returned
yesterday from Naples. He I. convinced that the
troubles in the muthern provinces are less pro-
foetid than is generally believed. He has, however,
proposed to his sollesguss some ameliorations,
and some changes in the military chiefs. He is
pettedly satisfied with General La Marmon and
Gowns, and also with Generals liazak
Flamini, and Pallaviciuo, whose arrival struck so
