CATANIA, Annu' 20.
Garibaldi does not lose one moment's time for
organising his troops ; all the officers are busy to
eliminate the impure elements, to clad and to arm
the others. 2,000 muskets of the regulars, found
in the aistle, were a real godsend ; the shoemakers
furnish 3,000 pairs of shoes within a week, and
red shirts are sewn in every house. The greatest
calmness reigns in Catania ; though the governor
has embarked on the Rb Galantuomo he remains in
the port, the municipality perform their attributions
as regularly as ever, all the shops are open, the
courts of justice continue their business, and
the town looks as quiet as befere. I men-
tion this especially, that in case the govern-
ment telegrams—l mean the Agiuzia Stefani—
should again speak of disorder as it did in September,
1860, at Naples, you may formally deny such ca-
lumnies. I see by the papers how it has maliciously
perverted Garibaldi's words at Rucca Palombra.
I mentioned it yesterday to the General ; " I do
not care for it," be said, " whoever knows me
cannot have for one moment believed I could be
capable of talking such nonsense." In my next I
will give you an account about some:other details
which could not find place in this, my too long
letter.

AUGUST 21.

A telegram has been intercepted by which the
island of Sicily is put in a state of siege. Itattazzi's
infatuatiou becomes incredible ; he ought to re-
member that Cavour on his death-bed exclaimed,
" No state of siege ; everybody can govern with
the state of siege. But Cavour was an Italian
statesman, while Battazzi is but a Piedmontese
tool of Napoleon. If this news proves true—and
we can scarcely doubt its authenticity—the
hounds of revolution are let loose over Italy, and
Victor Emmanuel cannot retain the fair name of
the Re Galantuomo. Or can be bombard Messina,
Catania, and Palermo, like Ferdinand of Naples
Garibaldi's flag bears still the inscription, " Italy
and Victor Emmanuel ;" do not force him to put
another watchword on it, for if revolution is once
earnestly begun, it will not stop in Sicily, nor at
the Alps, but will make the tour of old Europe.
The freedom of the press, the right of association
are suppressed—public meetings forbidden ! Rat-
tazzi has evidently made his studies at Paris with
great success ; he is introducing in Italy liberty m
in France. And Depretis, but lately one of the
chiefs of the Left, is not ashamed to retain his seat in
the Cabinet. It is tree that the proclamation by
which the island is put in a state of siege, is signed
by Cugia, but his want of decision is sufficiently
known ; he never would take the responsibility of
such a serious step unless he got precise orders
from Turin. In the meantime Catania is perfectly
calm ; all the different political parties and classes
are busy to further Garibaldi's plans. Marchese
Cassalotto, the commander of the National Guard,
and Messrs. Gravina and Caudullo, the chiefs of
the conservative party at Catania, made their visit
at the General's, and told him openly that though
they disapproved of the movement when it was
initiated, they now would do their best to add to its
forces, since the will of the people cannot any
longer be doubted. Yesterday the municipality,
under the immediate orders of the governor,
who remains still on board of the Duke of
Genoa in the port, seemed unwilling to fur-
nish provisions to the volunteers, or to
comply with Garibaldi's demands. But lie
had the mayor and councillors called to his presence,
and tried to persuade them to do willingly, in the
interest of the town, what be might enforce. They
hesitated still, when he suddenly rose, a dark
shadow passed over his features, and with a voice
like the roar of a lion, ho exclaimed, " If you
stood before Tamerlane would you hesitate ? Well, I
shall be Tamerlane if you do not respect the voice
of the population which supports me." The fathers
of the town trembled, and returned crestfallen to
the Town-ball, ready to do anything the General
may demand. As to the population, its sentiments
are clearly expressed by the spontaneous illumina-
tion of all the streets, to-night for the fourth
tune, and by the frantic " Evvivas" to Garibaldi
as often he showed himself. Yesterday, after a

Engl frigate has arrive,. in the port of Catania,
and cast anchor between the Duke of Genoa's and
the town, much to the relief of all the old
women, who spoke yesterday of an imminent
bombardment of the town. It was also said that the
English and French consuls have sent a written
protest to the captain of the royal frigate against
any eventual attack. Of course it is morally im-
possible to bombard any town in Sicily, since
Victor Emmanuel's tenure of the island is only by
good will ; his title, however, holds good as yet,
though the Piedmonteee bureaucracy is generally
abhorred ; but Garibaldi's name, which is
deeply rooted in the hearts of the Sicilians, still
covers tie King, whose government treats the Gene-
ral as a rebel. The enlistment of the volunteers
continues, and the organization of the army is in
progress. The companies and battalions begin to
take a more regular form the armed mob of some
days ago is licked into shape ; a few days more and
the army will look moat respectable ; even now gene-
ral satisfaction is expressed at the appearance of the
volunteers. The officers wear no distinctive sign
of rank ; it is by the sabre alone that they are re-
cognised. Many officers of the Hungarian campaign
serve now as privates. On the whole there are but
few foreign elements in the camp—a score of Hunga-
rians, scarcely half-a-dozen Poles, one Montenegrin,
one Englishman, no German, no Frenchman. I
have not yet met with foreign reporters; a French
correspondent was on his way to Garibaldi, but he
got frightened at Palermo lest be should be taken
for a spy. The Diritto has here several excellent
occasional correspondents, but the telegrams of the
Agenda Stefani excite general indignation for their
impudent misstatements.

sequences must have been even more serious. The engine
was thrown off the line by the shock, and it was nearly
4 o'clock this morning before the Manton passengers were
enabled to proceed on their journey.
With regard to the cause of the accident, it is not yet
known which is to blame, the signal-man at the junction or
the driver of the Manton train. The former states that the
signals were properly adjusted to stop an approaching train,
whilst the latter maintains that such was not the fact. This,
however, is a matter which of course will be inquired into
at the coroner's inquest.
Our Leicester correspondent, who was • passenger by
one of the trains, writes :
" Cheap trips were announced from Barton, Ashby, and
Coalville, starting to London on Wednesday morning, and
returning on the same, or next the evening. A similar excur-
sion was arranged from Oakham, Melton, and Leicester.
The return journey for the Oakbam, Melton, and Lei-
easter train was fixed for 7.30 p.m. on Wednesday or the
Thursday night, and the Burton, Ashby, and Coalville train
was advertised to start at the same minute on the some
nights. The Burton and the Leioester trains on Thurs-
day night were placed alongside each other at the
King's-cross Station, and the passengers were filling
them at the same time. It was a matter of observa-
tion between the passengers of the respective trains
as to which should start first. Neither, however,
started at the advertised time, but at • quarter to eight the
Burton train was put in motion. At ten minutes to eight—
five minutes after the Burton—the Leicester and Oakham
train started. Passengers in the Leicester train observed
this, and expressed fears that the Burton train could not
keep oat of the way. The journey to Bedford was ammo.
plished without any stoppage, though it was evident that
the driver of the Leicester train could not get on in conse-
quence of the train ahead. On stopping for water at Bedford
the Burton train was seen going out of the station as the
Leicester train neared it. On proceeding again the same
pace was observed, until within five minutes run of Market
Harborough the Leicester train slacked speed, and
• perpetual alarm whistle was kept up, when the
engine gave forth several short, sharp, rapid screams, and
then crash went the Leicester train into the Burton train
which was found standing at the Harborough Station. As
may be imagined, the greatest consternation spread
throughout the two long trains. Screams were beard ■t
the station end of the train, and although shaken and
bruised, the Leicester passengers were able to leave their
carriages, and to proceed to the more immediate sane of the
disaster. The hindermost carriages of the Burton train
were found crushed and smashed by the engine of the
Leicester train, and the unfortunate Burton passengers
were thrown about, bruised, and mangled. Fires were
quickly made of the fragments of the carriages, and
the work of extrication and alleviation promptly set
on foot. Two men were known to be crushed under one of
the carriages, and nearly an hour elapsed before the last one
could be got out. At lent one fatal case was then known
to have occurred—the unfortunate sufferer being Mr. W.
Stinson, of Coalvdle. The light of the tires threw •
horrid glare on the sickening scene around. Men with
mangled limbs were being conveyed on stretchers ; women,
bruised and swooning, were lying on the road supported by
fellow-passengers, and in wine instances laid on legs
•ail pillows before they could be removed ; while the
station was crowded with bruised and bleeding per
gangers of both sexes, and • deathly palm was o•
every face. Every resource which the limited slalom
nod the town could afford was promptly applied to
mitigate the sufferings, and the worst moveable cases were
sent on by train to Leicester. Still, • greet number of
injured and anxious ones were left behind, and no evidence
could be gleaned of a prompt and speedy communication
with Leicester. The accident occurred at • quarter-past 11,
and within eighteen miles of Leicester, with a telegraphic
communication, and without any obstruction between Lei-
owner and Harborough ; and yet hour after hour elapsed,
until it was half-put 3 o'clock on Friday morning before the
whole of the terrified passengers in the ill-fated trains from
London could get away from the Market Harborough sta-
tion. At • quarter-peat 4, nervously excited excursion-
, ids and hysterical women were drawn up under the
tunnel-like bridge of the London.road near to Leicester,
6 there to be detained another quarter of an hour while the
tickets were collected, as day was breaking and paling the
, give of the collegiate' lamps. This final presentment of the
, horrible excited • feeling of molt ; tickets were contemp-
tuously refused to be given up, and passengers were weeds.
