ITALY AND PIEDMONT.

DT AN ITALIAN WHO IS NOT A NATIVE OF PIEDMONT.

LHTTER 1.

Sta,—l am by nu means sure but the best mesas
has been fumd of semis,: the Italian question, and
that is by boring tl.e public with it. When I was in
Italy very lately. I was biddsn to wait and se* what
the next six o onihs would bring. Beyond that
bourne the most sanguine imagination did not
stretch. What could not be mansg.d in six months,
dating from ihe 30 h of last March, could not be
achieved in six cen'urie'. Within that brief period
Italy most nerds '• awake, arise, or be for ever fallen."
No doubt the retkohinirs of Austria and her !fiends
coincide with those of three most hopeful patriots.
All Austria sod her friends want is to live through
these six months. It ?h. y can thus far weather the
storm, they may then latign at all the lose made about
Italy and the Cavour memorandum.
Lord Clarendon and his colleagues seem no lees
anxious to get over this nine dsys' or six months' ex-
citement. "If I can mil keep the youngster quiet
for another fortnight," says Don AM:toadies, in the
Prouessi Spoil, " I have then three months' respite,
and in three months who knows what may turn oat r
Discuesioos about Italian matters will be warded off
in the British parliament till the end of the session;
then the night oomes whin no man can work; and as to
the next sauce, it most be a very doughty knight
indeed who will venture to break a lance for Italy,
facing the yawns that the very name of that country
will not fail to conjure up at so distant a period.
Should I, therefore, venture to say a word or two
on the Italian question, and thereby add to the wea-
riness of the English public which is most likely to
prove fatal to this or to any subject I meet; be-
cause I think England has already meddled too mach
with Italian matters, and she ought to know that her
meddling cannot be void of revolt ; that where she
fails to do good, she most needs do great harm ; that,
like Doe Quixote, she will expose Italy to harsher
treatment from the very vexation that hat
mace has canoed in the heart of the bridal task-
master.

I assume then from the *sheet, that much may be
bee by England for Italy; that much she has a right,
mesh the is in do. y bound to do. What beet can be
dime is to be determined by a calm and accurate
survey of the whole question, and I hasten to give my
views on the subject, that the voice of an Italian may
Milk wanting in the midst of the many voices that

mini. Patriotism did not go beyond the walls
and muds of a sineis town. It was only at the fall of
Napalms. in 1814, that the It lie question may be
said to have been fairly started. The French had
revived the name of Italy; they had built up an
Italian kingdom, domed an Italian crown, set up an
Italian banner, trained the Italians to arms, made
them men, inspired theta with consciousness of their
own foresaw ith faith in their owe destinies. Had there
been understanding and unanimity in Italy ie tbatvery
year 1814, the thought might have led immediately
to action, and Italy, anxious as she was to rid horse
of the French, might have equally freed herself from
all other foreign rulers. But the country was weary
and exhausted; it accepted the law of the streagest,
and set shoat contemplating it. new position and
holies its way.
The Italians saw that owing to their moat of
energy and ussaimity in 1814, a large part of their
smutty, the richest and beet, remained in the basest
Austria. They determined to hue that part of their
own territory from foreign thi=srami sesioned
upon the united efforts of the dile mew

of foreign rulsre—and rejoiced in the ems of Ws-
pendant states. They pat that ledeserrhess Is the
tee'. They endeavoured to bring their government
to their own views, to enlist their prisms to their
national oases. The experiment was thrice tried all
over Italy; it failed completely and every-
where in 1820 and 1831. It seemed to
have thoroughly succeeded throughout the coun-
try in 1846; but, after three years' struggle,
it was found that only in one state the
Prince was of nos mind and heart with his people—.
that state wee Piedmont. Since 1849 all the Italian
Princes take part with Austria against Italy ; the
government of Piedmont alone stands by Italy
stalest Austria.
This position of Piedmont in Italy is, however, not
new. It dates from the reconstitution of the state of
Savoy under Emanuel Philibert in 1659. At that
epoch, Miles, Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia were in
the hands of Spain ; and the other states named by
courtesy independent were, in reality, at the mercy
of the same power. Ose Prince alone dared not
only to shape his own free course with utter disregard
of the sovereign will of the court of Madrid, bat even
to hurl defiance to that court, and engage single.
handed in a four years' war against its concentrated
might. That Prince was the son of Emanuel Philibert
—Charles Emanuel L To him were turned all the beet
wishes of the few men in Italy who knew or eared
aught about Italy—of Tessimi, Fidel° Testi, Tommie
Campanella, he.; all of whom saw that from that
moment the greet chance for the emancipation ai
Italy lay in the ambition, energy, and ability of the
Pnione of Savoy.

Charles Boa; usl was too rash and headlong, and
bad to deal unaided with too colossal a power. But
at the close of the same century the throne of Savoy
woe occupied by a no lees brave and enterprising,
hot more shrewd and crafty prime, Victor Amides'
11.. who knew how to make the championship of Italy
subservient to his own aggraedleament, and did not
undertake more than human strength could achieve.
Under him and under his successor, Charles Ellitlll2,l
111.. it appeared very evident that whatever was
gained by Savoy was taken from the foreigner, what.
ever wee won by Savoy was neared for Italy. The,
effort', twice successful, of Savoy to obtain a compost
of neutrality in behalf of Italy, which screened that
country from the worst ravages of war, dueler the
cootests for the Spanish, Polish, and Austrian sum*
Moos, gave that state a kind of political protectorate
or hegemonia in Faly, which had not utterly mimed at
the time of the French Revolution. Bustaellio Man-
fredi, of Bologna, bailed the birth of the Prince of
Piedmont, in 1716, as the signal for the redemption of
the whole country, singing,

Still the experiment of visaing the Prince over to
the country's cause was more consistently tried, and

name; and even when it became evident that one King,

between the Prince and the people had been mimes

the prospect of considerable arid steady supplies of
gold from Australia and elsewhere, it is evident that
our general monetary position is for the present
placed beyond the risk of disturbance, and that the
diversion to the Continent of a portion of our treat

The funds spin @bowed a little flatness this
morning, but have alone retuned to the closing
quotations of yesterday. Console, after declining

inst. The Three per Cent Reduced have been
dealt in at 96; to 96 ; the New Three prr Cents.
at 96e tot; Exchequer Bills at 17s. to 20s. pram.:
and Exchequer Bond. at 1001.
Turkish Six per Cents. fell this morning to 102,

Half per Cents. 991 to 100 ex div. flardirdian Boccie
have been dealt in at 921 and 92, and Dutch Four
per Cent. Certifs. at 98i. In other stooks no busi-
ness is reoorded.

Ottoman Bank shares have advanced this morning
to 3/ to 4 pram.

Tile corn market yesterday showed Sorriest, but
sellers refused to accept the reduced rates dfcred.
It is rumoured that the next dividend of the Lon-
don and South Western Railway Company will be at
the rate of 61 per oent. per annum, and that the
dividend of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Com-
pany will also be highly satisfactory.
According to a telegraphic despatch Jost received
the remainder of the official documents requisite to
give validity to the concession of the Rigs and Dona-

The Licinde Railway Company have received from
the Hoe. East India Company permission to y
the Puojaub from Maritsa to Lahore and Umritser.
This line will be 230 miles in length. Mooltan is on
the Chenaub, and is at the point where permanently
deep water oases. From Mooltan to Hydrabsd
there is permanently open navigation fit for steamers.
From Hydrabsd to Kurrachee the line already Nano-
timed continues the communication to the sea. The
Puejaub is described as singularly favourable for a
railway. The upper line of railway—i. e., the Pun-
jaub—will be connected with the lower or &Ude
Railway by lines of steamers of improved construc-
tion; and in this way, Central Asia, the Puojaub,
and the north-west provisoes, will be placed in steam
communication with their natural port—Hurrachee.
This will be a farther step towards the realisation of
the plan of General Chesney and Mr. W. P. Andrew
for connecting by steam communication Europe and
Central Asia, vie the Euphrates.
A new project is on the market under the title of
the Bank of London and National Provincial Issu-
ance Association. The capital is fixed at one mil-
lion, in 200,000 abuts of 61. each, upon which 11.
per share is to be called up, yielding a working
capital of 200,0001. As its title implies, this under-
taking
is promoted under the auspices of the Bank
of Loudon, six of the directors of which are upon its
board. At the same time the promoters are earnest
in wishing it to be understood that the "Bank of
London and this association are entirely distinct and
',perste companies," and that the two humus's, are
to be " kept wholly separate as regards capital, liabi-
lity, and management. They contend that banking
operations en in many respect" closely allied to
assurance transaction., and refer to the "facilities
possessed by • large banking establishment for
furthering the objects of an insurance office, where
cordial relations exist, and harmonious co-operation
can be secured." Probably many persons will be
slow to understand how the two undertakings can
work together, and yet be kept totally distinct. It
is mentioned that the business of three esteblished
insurance companies has been secured whose united
income from premiums exceeds 32,0001. per annum.
According to the deed, in every policy Weed
the liability of the shareholders is to be
distinctly specified as limited to the capital and pro-
perty of the association. It is further mentioned that
110,000 shares have been already allotted, 60,000 of
which are held by the directors and their connexions,
and that the remaining shares are offered "solely to
the existing proprietors in the offices whose busi-
nesses will be transferred to this association, and to
the shareholders and customers of the Bank of
Ludes."

The annual meeting of shareholders of the
Commercial Bask of London is to be held on the 22nd
inst. The directors:retiriog are Messrs. Charles
Dickson, A. J. A. Douglas, Charles Hill, and William
Jackson, M.P., of whom the two latter offer them-
selves for re-election. Mews. E. S. Cay ley, M.P.,
and Robert B. Price, are also candidates.
The half early meeting of the Peel River Land
and Mineral Company is called for the 14th inst.
The numbers are published of 219 Bonds, amount-
ing to 36.600 L, of the &sadism Five per Cent. Em-
Pins Fund, 1843, which were drawn by lot on the let
met., and are to be paid off at par on the let January
next by Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Bone. Sixty
Bondi, representing 8,0001. of the Brazilian Four-
and-a-Half per Cent. loan of 1852, have also been
cancelled.

The Emigration Commissioners will receive tenders
on the 10th inst. for the hire of two ships, to worry
paseangers reepectively to Portland Bay and Adelaide.

FRIDAY EVINTRO.

The fonds, after the late upward movement, were
today flatter, and closed at a reaction of per cent.
This slight adverse turn is easily explained by the
males of previous speculative buyers anxious to realise
their profits. A little cheek has also been given to
the sanguine views of speculators by the postpone-
ment of the expected reduction of the Bask disessat
rate to 4 par cent. The hesitation of the directors to
adopt this step is attributed to the withdrawals
of gold on oontinental account, coupled with
the lees favourable appearance of the foreign;
exchanges. With the metallic stock of the Bank
standing ea high as 13,073,765 L, however, and with

The heavy mercantile liabilities maturing today

money, with a fair demand. In the Stock Eicher go
