THE FUNERAL OF MAZZLNI'S MOTHER.

There is still life in Italy. The subjoined accounts
of the obsequies of Mszzini's mother at Genoa, show
that the sentiment of the noble and the kindly still
glows in the Italian breast. Even those who disent
from the political views of Mazzini are compelled to
acknowledge his clear intellect, his pare and elevated
imagination, his impassioned sincerity, his fearless
and persevering character. He is the apostle of a
political creed, and all his sentiments and all his
actions correspond with that elevated character. To
be capable of admiring and loving such a man is for
a people to be capable of freedom. The relations
which existed between Mazzini and his mother
were beautiful and touching. From the time
of his boyhood he had only seen her onco—
st Milan in 1848. But their love, had not
waxed cool in consequence of their aspiration. Week
by week they corresponded without &il for a period
of twenty-two years. This filial devotion knit Max.'
rini to the Italian heart by a purely human and
domestic tie, and it shed over the mother a reflex of
her son's glory. She was even in her life-time
inscribed in the calendar of patriot saints for Italy.
The solemnities of her funeral, characterised by the
fervid feelings of Italy, show what a hold mother
and son had (and haves upon the Italian mind, and
how the contagious influence of their countrymen's
love and veneration has caught hold of even the
colder children of the north.

GENOA, Avorar 12.
Yesterday morning the funeral service of the mother of
MasaLai took place in the church of the Carmine. The
kisses Mee, slake+ ill, end scarcely able to stand, in-
sisted on Sway: henolf at the head of the ladies, amongst
whom were Fanny Delhi di Negro and Marla Quarters
Pasoan. The elseses Carolina Calesk could not, unfor-
tunately, be elks somber, as the incessant filial cares
which she rendleved Is the deemed had brought on en
attack of few, with& eselsed her to her bed.

six in the evening the eorldp MOM bat the Church of
the Carmine, followed by all the sesiskien, all the tunnels-
liens of working men of Gamy ix D'Arene, and the
suburbs. Every ChM took pot. Al the naval captains of
Genoa and the Riviera were pretest, 30 or more being
from the Oulph and Leek'; and the immense body of
sailors, with the associations of the boatmen of the port.
Many Genoese and foreign ladies, besides those above-
named, except the Signori Nina, who could not beer the
trial of her streugth and was forced to withdraw, carried
the funeral palls, and surrounded the coffin, upon which
were deposited numberless wreaths, woven by, them, and
presented by the association. Tricoloured banners, and
ribbons, and flowers without end. English and American,
the Swedish, Dutch, and Danish captains were present in
deep mourning, each in their turn seeking the honour of
bearing the coffin, which was alike claimed by the working I
men, the emigration, and those of all classes who were pre-
sent. The civic bands led the procession playing religious
music. Tho procession numbered at least 15,000, walking
in two columns of four a breast. The retire population lined
the streets, and the mat perfect order reigned amid mani-
festations of the sincerest grief. When the cort,,ge reached
Staglieno the night was far advanced; and the whole valley
of the Bisagno was illumined on every side. There was
not a peasant's hut or a nobleman's palace without a light in
every window, illuminating the cortege on itsdarksome way.

JAMAICA.

In Jamaica, small-pox was virulent at various
points, but somewhat on the decrease at Kingston.
In St. Thomas-in-the-East, an estate of 1,600 acres,
with good dwelling house and some WO/. worth of
new machinery, had been sold for 1,0001.
We learn (says the Morning Journal) that, in eon-
sesuence of the alarming spread of the small-pox in
this city, orders have been issued to the troops sta-
tioned at Up Park camp to keep within barracks fur
the present, or until such time as that afflictive dis-
ease shall have decreased in virulence, or entirely
left us. A similar order, we understand, will be
issued to the soldiery in Kingston Barracks, and all
communication between them and tho civilians will
be prevented for the present.
