TURIN, Joie 10.
Sir James Hudson has been seriously, ill for some
days, but is now a little better, and it is hoped that
in the course of the week he will cease to'be con-
fined to his house. We sball be sure to see Min in
the diplomatists' gallery during tie approaehing
discussion on the law proposed by ministers for the
restraint of factious associations, as he never *ills
when there are important discussions. It is fore-
seen that this one will be stormy.
Signor Sella's financial statement is favourably
regarded on Change, because he declared that he
would not have recourse to a new loan to cover the
deficit. It is natural that those who are
interested in the former loan should be
to know that their stock is not to
laiecexpoeed to the risk of depreciation thrOugh the
competition of a new loan. I believe, however,
that there will be a strong opposition to the system
;
announced by the Minister of Finance, who seems
to expect much money for concessions of vast tracts
of ground to companies which we know are such,
and which may occasion us very serious =Conve-
nience. The new kingdom of Italy has reason to
be very suspicious in these affairs. The present
ministry does not enjoy so much public confidence
as, like Cavour, to run easy acceptance for its pro-
posals. How little wesght it has in the Chamber was
shown yesterday by the annulment of an election
which it greatly imported the cabinet to see con-
firmed. This state of things produces great uncer-
tainty ; for on the one band it is seen that, except
as against the ultras, the Chamber does not accord
the ministry sufficient strength to govern the
country be ; on the other hand no one can foresee what
would the result of a general election should
ministers dissolve the Chamber. A couple of
months ago they were rather disposed to tale that
step, but now they are afraid the oonsequendes
would not be such as they desire.
.he republic of Peru has officially necognieed the
new kingdom of Italy. The rumour MO( IMO that it
would be recognised by Prussia, but you know that
Prussia is a pendulum that oscillates continually
between feedaham and freedom, and never remains
fixed at either. The oscillations were for some time
retarded by the attraction of Austria ; we shall
soon see whether that attraction will be neutralised
by one of more potency.
We have had better news from the Neapolitan
provinces adjacent to the Papal, territory since the
French have ceased to leave the brigands perfectly
free to come and go, but unfortunately the news is
not better from the Capitanata. That central pro-
vinoe has an indigenous brigandage which has
flourished more or lees for a century, and which
appears. in augmented vigour whenever political or
social circumstances favour its existence. Yester-

day the wealthy deputy Cappelli, who has property
in that province, waited on Rawl along with
four other deputies from the same quarter, to ask for
prompt and vigorous remedies for the local dis-
order. The losses which Cappelli alone has already
sustained at the hands of the brigands amount to
about 8,0001. Reim:xi had received at the same
time other advises from the Capitanata confirming
the fresh outbreak of pillage and murder, and, in
concert with the Minister of War, he sent orders
for reinforcements of soldiers and national guards.
The Chamber of Deputies was occupied the whole
of this day with interpellationa. The first was upon
the events in Brescia.. but it was adjourned to a
more favourable opportunity, notwithstanding the
warmth with which its immediate discussion was
called for by Signor Aurelio Si" who, as
the Mazzinian correspondences announced, had
come expressly for the purpose from London. The
second interpellation was, so to speak, posthumous.
Signor Crispi had wished to question the Minister
of War about the end of March ; it is now the Sail
of June, and everything is changed ; so the hon.
member displayed his ingenuity in saying nothing.
Lastly, Brofferio, the drum-major of the parlia-
mentary Mountain, demanded of the Ministers of
the Interior and of Justice why they had not
punished those who had sent challenges to Signor
Guerrazzi, who ought to be free to print insults
and calumnies against the army and the parliament
without anyone presuming to complain. The de-
puty Malenchim, who, like Guerra:4 is a native
of Leghorn, and who served under Garibaldi, and
is now in the regular army, exposed all the turpi-
tude of Ouerrazzi, who endeavoured to sow discord
in Leghorn in the midst of the united prayers of
the citizens at that moment assembled to honour
the memory of their brothers slain in battle. The
Chamber would bear no more, and passed to the
order of the day, ignoring the complaints of Signor
Brofterio, who is generally moat amusing when he
deals with serious topics.
