As I told you in my last letter, to-day was the
grand day on which the senators were to open the
debate on the Transfer of the Capital Bill. The
subject, though exhausted by the long discussion of
the lower house, seemed, however, to interest the
people of this city, for the large ball of the Palazzo
Madams, where the senators hold their sittings,
was crowded from floor to ceiling at least an hour
before President Manno bad taken the chair.
There was some Taber brisk skirmishing on the
subject of • certain despatch from the French go-
vernment, which has not been communicated to the
house, but the only results of it were ministerial
declarations that all the diplomatic documents
which could be published had already been
printed. This did not satisfy the house,
and evidently left an impression upon the mem-
bers present that the despatch in question was of
such • character that the cabinet did not like to
produce it. The subject wore itself out at last, and
thus Omaha:ate eogiusenced. Uf this I will sorely
say that it would have been • dull affair but for an
eloquent speech delivered by Count Mamiani, the
well-known Italian philosopher, whose works have
been so cleverly translated into English by Mr.
Aston. Count Mamiaai is undoubtedly the first
orator in the senate, and perhaps in the lower
house. His language is as pure and elegant as that
of Guiciardini. His logic is severe, he is never led
away by passion, yet his speeches chiefly speak to
the heart. Count Mamiara spoke for the adoption
of the Paris treaty, which be considers favourable
to the interests of Italy.
One of the most dangerous brigands and blood-
thirsty amassing who ever existed in Southern Italy
was killed a few days ago in the vicinity of the
town of Eboli, together with two of his associates.
This man, John Tranchelle, had become famous for
his iniquitous deeds, and he bad been for two years
the terror of the peasants and farmers of that fertile
tract of territory which skirts the wood of Persano.
Mast barbarous murders, numberless ricatti, farms
burned, highway robberies—in one word, all the
iniquities which can be perpetrated by a ruffian of
the blackest dye, had been perpetrated by this man
and his companions, Guerriero and Mario. Gen-
darmes and soldiers had chased the criminal during
two years, but they had never succeeded in catching
him, for at the approach of the public force he
always got a safe refuge in the wood of Persano,
where be ordinarily lived. On the 24th of this
month, Major Vials, of the Cuoeo brigade, was in-
formed that Tranchella and two of his associates
bad left the wood and were at a farm situated in
the plain between Eboli and the sea. On
bearing this, Major Viale disposed his troops along
the river Sale, which faces the wood of Persano,
in order to prevent the brigands from getting
again into the woods. During the night the small
band of rranchella made its appearance on • road
leading into the woods, but it was prevented ac-
complishing its usual retreat by the troops com-
manded by Lieutenant Miglietta. The three
brigands seeing themselves pursued by the troops
got into a thick shrubbery skirting the road, and lay
concealed there. At dawn Major Viale had the
shrubbery surrounded by two companies of the 46th
regiment of the line, and a desperate fight soon
began. At last Tranchella fell to the ground mor-
tally wounded, but resisting to the last He was
killed by private Giancans. The two other ruffians
were also killed during the fight. The three dead
bodies were removed to Eboli, where they were
exposed in the public square, in order that the popu-
lation should know that the assassin who had been
for two years the scourge of the country was no
more. Tranchella was a native of a village not far
from Salerno, he was scarcely twenty-five, and had
entered a band of brigands at the beginning of 1862.
His cruelty and the physical force be possessed
soon gained him very great influence over
his companions, who elected him their chief.
It appears that during the summer of 1862 be want
to Rome, and it is also generally stated that he was
received by Francis 11. On his return to Persano
he called himself major of his Sicilian Majesty's
army, and re-commenced his carver of murder and
pillage more cruelly than before. Such are the de-
fenders of the Bourbons, such the ruffians whom
the Roman catholic church blesses and sends into
the southern Italian provinces for the defence of
the altar and the throne !

Decidedly the Minister of the Interior is not fond
of public meetings Thinking that the atatuto
ought not to be a dead letter, some citizens of Milan
decided to hold a public meeting on Sunday last
in the theatre of the &sclera, with the object of
voting an address to the Venetians, and of opening
a subscription in WNW of those brave fellows who
during a month fought against the Austrians in
Friuli. The meeting had been advertised, the laws
which regulate public assemblies had been strictly
observed by the promoters, but on Saturday
the Prefet of Milan, Marquis Pees de
Villamarina, intimated to them that award-
ing to instructions he bad received from
Turin he could not allow the meeting to take place.
In spite of this formal order Deputies De Boni and
Brogan° (who had gone expressly to Milan to pre-
side over the meeting), followed by a crowd of
about 200 people, presented themselves at the
door of the theatre at the appointed hour, but
finding it shut went to the balcony of a restaurant
near at hand and began to open the proceedings.
Deputy De Boni had, however, scarcely com-
menced his speech when a commissary of police
made his appearance and ordered the gentlemen
to leave the plasm. The deputies refused at first,
but the agent of the public authority having in-
sisted, • protest was tendered by them, and this
done the crowd dispersed. It is not easy to under-
stand the reason why the Minister of the Interior
is so obstinate in opposing this right granted by
the constitutive. Under the last administration
meetings were held in behalf of the Poles without
any opposition from Signor Peruzzi, the then Home
Secretary. To violate the law is always bad
enough, and it becomes still more dangerous when
such violation bears upon a subject which cannot
I fail to interest the public, as is the case with the
Venetian question. There is, moreover, another
evil arising from this useless violation of the law.
Had not the meeting being forbidden, only a few
persons would have known it was to take place ;
now everybody is informed that the right of
assembling has been violated, and the fact of the
intended meeting naturally acquires more
im-
portance. Although an honest and clever minister,
Signor Lanza is, I hear, persuaded that he was
right in preventing two deputies from delivering
more or less eloquent speeches which would have
had the effect of securing a few thousand francs to
the refugees of Friuli.
_ .

Either to-day or to-morrow Deputy De Boni
will aak the minister Lanza on what ground he
forbade the meeting of Milan; and if the govern-
ment intend to efface (ruin the statuto the right
granted to Italian citizens of discusring political
matters in public meetings. I much fear that the
answer will not satisfy the friends of liberty.

Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held
at its hoses, Jolumerest, Adalphi, Toonom Chapmeo, Esq.,

Hall. C. 8., F.R.S., Mr. W. H. Radom, and Mr. Rickard
Laois, the secretary. The minutes of the previoas meeting
having been read, the committee exprard their deep mm-
path for the lam of life dozing the late fearful shipwrecks
off th last week; and particularly in referees* to the
for of two gallant men, who unfortunately perished by
jumping out ef the Tynemouth lifeboat belonging to the
outstation. It appeared that the performance of the life-
boat on that distressing cousion elicited the adsnirs-
tic, of the oldest seamen in the place. The boat was
in the act of rescuing the mew of the schooner, when
nafortneately the expreseion used by the onwain,
"Come lads, jump on board," was nddeerrasitoooodd
by some of the lifeboat mew, four of whom
thereupon jumped no board the schooner, believing
the lifeboat was going to pieces. This circumstance
so completely deprived the remainder of the crew of thew
preesuee ed mind that they lost 000trol over the boat, sad
• heavy ma striking her at the same moment spirt the
ship, all her oars, with the exception of two, were broken
and her side stove in. Nine el the men, however, steak to
the boat, and with the two oars and the help of another
boat succeeded in reaching the harbour in safety. The two
mss who unhappily perished from the lifeboat have left
two widows and seven orphan.. The institution voted 1001.
in aid of • local subscription now being made on their be-
half. The iustitution bad also paid the crew of the lifeboat
181. for their gallant emartisseoe the diseraming essmioa is

copy of its vote on vellum were also promoted
to Mr. Lawrence Berm, chief offlosr of the coast-
guard at Tynemouth, for his gallant exertions in aseistiog
to save, by means of the rocket apparatus, some of the un-
fortunate crew and passengers of the di hied steamship
Stanley on the cocesid. The institution at coo seat dors
to Tynemouth, on Monday last, • sew lifeboat to replace the
disabled self-righting boat, but the load committee decided
yesterday (Thursday) on retaining the latter, after being
repaired in London. Rewards moonlit* to 1061. were also
granted to the crews of some of the lifeboats of the institu-
tion, for pies off and rendering the following important
curiae to shipwrecked crews during the late fearful gales:
—The Blakemy lifeboat saved six men from the French
thaese-inares Eleanore, of Nantes, and five men from the
brig Fernand, of St. Halo. The Tremors lifeboat took off
the crew of five men and one passenger from the schooner
Sarah, of Waterford. The Lossiemouth lifeboat saved six
men from • derelict yeesd, after several shore boats bad
attempted ie vain to launch through the sort.
The Nimble& and Berwick lifeboats went out
and rendered important services to twenty-four
fishing boats and their crews, numbering nearly 100 men,
who while oat fishing were overtaken by fearful gales of
wind. The New Quay (Cornwall) lifeboat put off and tee
cued five men from the schooner Heroine, of Milked. The
Teaby lifeboat took off the crew of three men from the
sloop Active, of Csrmartheo. The Penaith lifeboat went
out and assisted to save the ship Far Went, of Newport
(Monmouth), and her crew of 22 men, from • very peribus
Son. The Dumpers lifeboat rescued 15 mes from the
Louis the Fourteenth of Dunkirk. The Yarmouth
lifeboat put off and gallantly aimed three of the crew
of the barque Sea Serpent, of Smith Shields. The Win-
tartan lifeboat took off and brought safely ashore six men
from the brig Jobe, of Hartlepool. The Dundee lifeboat,
the Mary Hartley, went oat is tow of • steamtee.
and mead four men from the schooner David and
John of Moutons, making • total of 113 lives saved
by the lifeboat& of the institution during the recent heavy
gales on the coast, many of which gallant sermon bad taken
place during a dark midnight storm. The lifeboats of the
institution at Csmpbeltown, Peoarth, Widmer, Rye, Win-
&elem. Porthdoillarre, Southport, Lytham, Scarborough,
and Padstow, bad also goo. off during the recent gales in
reply to signals of distress from various vowels. lu some
iostaaces the vessels had, by the time the lifeboats arrived
sleeper* succeeded in getting outof danger, or in weather-
ise perilous points ; but in other caeca, unfortunately, the
casualties had bees so sudden and so complete that all
vestige of both vessel aid crew had disappeared before the
lifeboats could possibly reach the some of the disaster..
Payments amounting to Oil. 10.. were made for these sec.
vidlS. The crews of the Widmer, Barton, Tyrol's, and
Dowses. lifeboats had also assembled in readineav
to go off to the succour of the crews of cliffs-'
rest vessels. For these services the society voted 181. 14x..
Rewards amounting to 2.51. ware also granted to the crews
at various shore boat., for their services in Navin several
shipwrecked crews on the coasts of the United Kingdom
during the past mouth. Altogether, during the storms of
the last two mouths, the lifeboats of the institutioa and
shore boats, to whose crews the society bad granted re-
wards, had happily been the means of rescuing nearly 250
shipwrecked pumas. The silver medal of tlm institution
and a copy of its vote oil vellum were likewise protected to
Mr. J. B. Bulkeley, coxswain of the Teignmouth new life-
boat of the society, in admiration of his long and gallant
services in assisting to save in the lifeboat, and by other
✓eam, a large number of shipwrecked perilous. The Co..
trollyr•Geoaral of the Coast Gaud submitted to the
NaMnal Lifeboat Inatitation • list of about fifty
where it was desirable to pima • small
tc elms of lifeboat, in the abeeuoe of life
boats belonging to the institution. The committee
decided to give this important question their beet
consideration. IL B. Mansion, Eq., of Piccadilly, had,
on behalf of • friend, presented to the society 31101. to pay
for • new lifeboat for Ardmore, Ireland. Moss Wardell bad
also manifiesatly sent to the institution 3201. to defray the
cost of a new lifeboat and carriage for Alnmouth, on the
meet of Northumberland, in lieu of • mull boat and car-
riage now on that strides. The committee expressed their
Amore regret to leers of the decease of the late Mr. Robert
Rassome, of Ipswich. He was • warm friend of the lifeboat
same, and had materially assisted in establiehise the
" Society of Friend." lifeboat at Sidney, on the Sussex
oust. Paymeots amounting to upwards of 2,0001. were
ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishresets and
1.5001. of the funded capital of the inetitatioa was ordered

It was stated that one of the four lifeboat@ pre
mated by the city of Maricheirter to the laid-

to ire skidoo at Bridlington, been exhibited during the past
week at Manchester, Leda, and Bradford. The sight of
the lifeboat had excited the greatest intoned in them in-
laid towns. A lifeboat presented to the society by the
town of Birmingham had also, en route to its station at
Sutton, on the Liucolosbire coast, been exhibited in that
town. It was calculated that a hundred thousand penmen
turned out to wimps the lifeboats on these occasions. The
first lifeboat given by the commercial travellers to the in-
stitution had just bees forwarded to its stadia. at Piet, on.
the Lancashire coast. The moiety had also seat new life.
