LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ITALY.

1 The Italian journals received this morning de-
scribe the agitation which prevails in every
part of the kingdom as excessive. Many el the
details which they narrate have not hitherto been
made known. The following is the account given
by the official Gazette of Turin of Garibaldra de-
parture from Catania :
_ _

In the evening of the 24th Garibaldi took nasiesion of
two postal steamers in Catania harbour, and embarked on
board them with a portion of his volunteers, leaving, how-
-1 ever, the main body behind. Ho was discontented and
discouraged because the population did not show itself
favourable, and supplied him neither with aid nor money,
and all the notable persons had left. Two Italian frig►tes,
the Vittorio-Emmannele and the Duos di Genoa, were that
same evening in Catania. The government is not yet
minutely informed of the circumstances which prevented
those two frigates from stopping Garibaldi on his passage,
after the precise and absolute orders which had been given
to that effect. The Minister of Mune having arrived at
Messina on the following day, immediately ordered the com-
mandant., of those two frigates to be arrested and seat to
Genoa to be tried by court-martial. The government is re-
solved to act with the greatest severity towards those who
may be guilty of transgressing their cordon. Yesterday
morning (25th) the troops immediately occupied the town of
Catania, and made prisoners about 800 volunteers, who had
been unable to disband. Consequently the authority of the
King is reestablished at Catania, as well as all over the
island. From intelligence received from Naples and Reggio
Garibaldi appears to have landed at Melito, near Reggio, in
Cslabria, this morning (2Gth). We learn that he is still
there.

The proclamation of General Lsmarmora to the
Neapolitans, declaring a state of siege, is as
follows :
Has= of the Neapolitan provinces—Some factious
people, affiliated to • met fatal to Italy, violating the fun-
damental statutes of ,the kingdom, despising the orders of
the King and the wishes of parliament, have succeeded,
under the pretext of hastening the accomplishment of the
destinies of the country, in kindling the flames of civil war
in Sicily. Garibaldi, their chief, after having unfurled the
standard of revolt, compromised a patriotic, rich, and
populous city, and abandoned the young inexperienced men
whom he had misled into becoming his followers, has thrown
himself upon the continent, and threatens your provinces
with the horrors of anarchy. The sacred duty devolves
upon the government to preserve the country from such a
catastrophe, to save the rights of the crown, and to oppose
itself to that which would compromise the principles coda
crated by the statutes and the plebiscite. Thus it does not
hesitate to take exceptional measures for the repression of
the revolt. Consequently, the Neapolitan provinces are
declared in • state of siege. The generals command-
ng the military divisions are invested with civil
and military powers. Every factious assemblage
will be dispersed by force. The sale and con-
cealment of arms are forbidden under penalty of arrest.
No publication or distribution of writings or letter-press
can take place without previous authorisation.
Citizens! These measures, temporary and exceptional, will
not prevent justice from following its regular course,
and will in no way impede the progress of public
affairs ; they will only affect conspirators and agi-
tators who have ,hitherto too much abused our
liberal iestitutious. I doubt not that the National
Guard will perceive that its mission becomes more exalted
as the position of the country becomes graver. It will, lam
certain, fulfil its duty with the unalterable devotion of
which it has given so many proofs. I have a firm confidence
that you will be persuaded with me that in the unhappy
circumstances in which we find ourselves, the only means
of averting danger is for all of us to unite to attain the ob-
ject to which all Italians aspire.

General Cialdini has had a conference at Naples
with General Lamarmora, and one account sap
that "they have taken opportune measures toge-
ther to destroy, in the briefest possible time, every
germ of revolt."
A letter from Naples, in the Salut Public of
Lyons, describes as follows the feeling of the
army :

I know a great number of soldiers, and I have asked
them, " Would you fight against Garibaldi if called
to do so r All hesitate and at last reply :
" There will be no occasion." This spirit of
hesitation prevailing in the army, it can never act with
vigour. As to the people (I mean the middle class) and the
National Guard there is no hesitation at all. The officers
were assembled yesterday for the purpose of ascertaining
what their bearing would be in case the state of siege
should be declared at Naples. It was not thought advisa-
ble to ask them in direct terms whether they would 'act
against Garibaldi, they were merely ►ddressed on the neces-
sity of maintaining order and preventing the 13ourbonist
party from taking advantage of any troubles that, might
ensue.

A letter from Loretta, in the Co rrespomf awe de
Rome, says :

On the first Sunday of this mouth we suddenly saw the
tricoloured flag displayed at the office of the telegraph, at
the royal Palace, and at the Commune. What bad taken
place" The disaffected immediately spread the report that
Garibaldi had entered Rome, and summoned the inhabi-
tants to decorate their: windows with the revolutionary
flag. Priests, and men known for their attachment to the
sovereign pontiff, were insulted and told that it was all
over with them. But when the proclamation of
King Victor Emmanuel, countersigned by his nil-
sisters, was posted up, the aspect of the town
suddenly changed ; the flags were precipitately withdrawn ;
cries were raised of " Long live Garibaldi," " Death to
Rattazzi," "Down with Emmanuel," and, in short, we had
• striking proof of the value to be attached to the famous
plebiscite drawn up • few months since in these words,
" We will have annexation to the constitutional kingdom of
Victor Emmanuel and of his dynasty." In spite of the
King's proclamation, the police gave pusports to the
Garibaldian volunteers, and a few night. ago I myself saw
a hundred of them leave Ancona on board a vessel bearing
the Italian fiat. The order of the day of Garibaldi to the
partisans of Fienzza has been everywhere posted up,
and the Carabineers have been forbidden, under pain of
death, to take them down.

As a sign, in its way, of the excited state of the
public mind, we may state that two duels have taken
place within an hour at Milan, between two
writers in the Mazzinian paper the Unita Banana,
and a writer in an opposition paper and an officer.
In the duel in which the officer fought, the jour-
nalist was very severely wounded.
According to letters from Rome in the Temps,
General Montebello and the French officers in that
city are furious at the speeches and proclamations
of Garibaldi ; but K de Lavalette, the diplomatic
representative, maintains his ordinary reserve.

The letters from Venice are fuller than ever of
accounts of arrests and domiciliary police visits.
Forty working men and several members of the
middle classes have been thrown into prison.
The French squadron of evolution which has
left Ajaccio for the Bay of Naples, consists of
six steam frigates, viz.— La Bretagne, L'Algtlairas,
Donawerth, Alexandre, Redontable, and Castig-
lione ; the steam-corvette Caton ; and the brig
Janus.

" One of these ships (says La Presse) has been
sent to Sicily."

TURKEY.

The Lertint Herald of the 20th describes at con-
siderable length the proceedings attending the
arrival of the Italian princes at Constantinople.
At the Imperial Palace "the Sultan warmly shook
bands with their royal highnesses and inquired
with interest after their father." At a later hour
his Imperial Majesty, accompanied by the Grand
Vizier, the Capitan Feats, and the Minister for
Foreign Affairs returned the visit of their royal
highnoises at the Italian Legation. The Sultan, on
descending from his carriage, was met by the
princes. His Majesty took them by the hand, and
on arriving in the salon sat down with one on each
side, entering into conversation with them. On
the Mat, the princes were to visit the cemetery at

Yeni-K,ll, where repose the ashes of the brave
Italian soldiers who fell during the Crimean war.

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS IN SPAIN.

MADRID. Ammer 29.

The following official statement has been pub-
lished :—The government is actively watching
certain evil-disposed efforts, the object of which is
to disturb public order. Measures have been taken
for the prompt repression of any outbreak.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
PLYMOUTH, Ammer 29.

The Cambrian, with the Cape mail, arrived here
this morning, having been delayed by N.E. winds.
She left the Cape on the 22nd, St. Helena 31st ult.,
Ascension 4th, and Vign 26th inst.
She brings 71 paskiengers.

At the Cape a bill for the annexation of British
Kaffraris had been introduced by the government
but was rejected by 19 to 14.
A resolution, moved by the Colonial Secretary,
to hold the parliament alternately in the Eastern
and Western Provinces, was also lost.

The Crown Lands Fund Bill was so mutilated in
committee that the government abandoned it.
A bill for securing the payment of an annual sub-
sidy towards the line of mail steamers to England
had passed both houses.
A bill for doubling the rate of ocean postage was
lost in committee.

Resolutions in favour of • separation of the
provinces were lost in both houses by narrow
majorities.
The Usury Bill was rejected by a largo ma-
jority.
The Legislative Council has passed a vote of
censure on the home authorities for the recent
changes in the distribution of troops in the
colony.
Pretorius' application to have a share of the
customs dues collected at the colonial ports on
account of goods passing through the colony to the
republic had been refused.
The Legislative Council was, however, in favour
of granting a subsidy to the free state border police.
A dispute had arisen between the engineers as to
whether the new railways should be cheap light
lines at a low rate of speed or substantial dear
lines, equal to the best English railways.
The weather on the coast had been very stormy.
Many vessels had put into port in distress.
The Prussian barque Johanna Wagner was
wrecked at Simon's Bay ou the 15th ult. The ship
Perekop, from Swan River to London, was aban-
doned near Struy's Bay on the 14th ult.
The Table Bay breakwater works stood the severe
test excellently.
The Euryalus left the Cape on the 21st ult. for
China. The mail steamer Dane arrived out on the
15th ult. The Norman passed Ascension on the
29th.

The money market was tight, but discount had
not advanced. Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting money on mortgage.
There was not much improvement in trade.
CANADA.
GREENOCK, down 28.

The steamer St. George, from Quebec, arrived
here this morning with 37 passengers and a full
cargo.

The Paris correspondent of the Independamre
Beige says :—" Much is said about the influences which are
being exerted on behalf of the papacy. You know them.
It is oven said that the Empress, whose pious sympathies
are no secret to anyone, hits borrowed the expremion
of the Garibaldians, ' Rome or death,' applying it,
however, in a contrary sense. This is probably the prating of
courtier,,, for it is difficult to conceive that the Empress would
form a personal resolution when the necessities of policy and
the wishes of the country might induce the Emperor to
accord the solution so much desired, and now become im-
perative, of difficulties which otherwise threaten the peace
of Europe as well as the enterprise of Garibaldi."

M. Godard, the French aeronaut, has just con-
structed a new balloon of 4,300 cubic metres, which can be
inflated in 30 minutes by the aeronaut, in which (says
Caliplane) gas is dispensed with. The car is also provided
with an apparatus which "enables the balloon to ascend
and descend without the necessity of carrying ballast."
This balloon, intended for the army, of which Y. Godard is
aeronaut-in-chief, will be tried on Sunday next for the
second time.

In the Grand Steeplechase Handicap which has
just taken place at Dieppe, Cassidy, the rider of Church.
Langton, was thrown at the kook the furthest from the
stands, unfortunately breaking his collarbone. The animal,
however, continued the race, following the track of the other
horses, and reserving, as be hal been trained to do, his
strength for the final struggle ; then, when nearing the
winning-post, he shot ahead, coming in first amid the ap-
plause of the spectators.

A letter from China, in the Semaphore of Mar-
seilles, says :—" The legation of France has received a com-
munication from Prince Kong, offering, in the name of the
Emperor of the Celestial Empire, to the widow of the un-
fortunate Admiral Protet, who was killed whilst fighting
the Taapings under the walls of Hang-chow, 100 sable skins,
and some rolls of embroidered silk from the Emperor's
stores. In addition to this a decree will confer titles of
nobility on the family of the admiral, and two catholic
churches be built at the expense of the Chinese government,
one at Shaoghae, and the other on the spot where the admi-
ral fell."

A few days since a passenger on his way to
Holyhead went on board the Munster mail steamer at
Kingstown. Feeling unusually cold, when trying to ascer-
tain the reuse, he found one of the legs of his trousers rut
open. This had been done by a pickpocket while he was
getting his luggage on board. The object of the operator
was to let the purse drop out. In this he failed, but he
managed 63 expertly as to escape detection, and probably
he was looking on amused at the awkward predicament of
his intended victim as to his dress.

A project for a new canal to run through the
south of Holstein, from the mouth of the Elbe to the little
bay of Neuetadt, and thereby rendering it possible for
large ships to pass at once from the North Sea into the
Baltic, is now being taken up with some promise of success.
A dangerous voyage of at least :1.50 sea miles will thereby
be avoided. The voyage, indeed, round the peninsula of
Jutland is one of the most dangerous which a ship can
undertake. An American company has originated the
peoject.

A year ago a column in commemoration of the
invasion of England by William the Conqueror was in►ugu-
rated on a cliff separating Dives from the Valley of Bueze-
rid, from which spot the Norman army of 60,000 men de-
parted in 3,000 vessels. On Sunday last, the anniversary of
the above inauguration, a meeting of French and English
archaeologists was held at the foot of the column, from
whence they proceeded to the small Roman church of Dives
to witness the uncovering of the list of the companions of
William the Norman, which has been inscribed over the
principal entrant,.
CASZ or POIBONINC, lie FRANCE—The Court of
Arises of the Rhboe concluded, at a late hoer on Wildman-
day evening, the trial of the woman Fevre, ber husband,
and brother-in-law, charged with poisoning Crtpio, the no-
torious miser of Lyons. The evidence fully proved the guilt
of all the prisoners. After the wretched man bad made
his will, bequeathing all his property to the woman
Fevre, she was anxious to get rid of him as soon as possible,
and scoordiogly began to dose him daily with strong infu-
sions of poppy-beads and petiole, or hedge-hyssop. In
this she was actively aided by her husband and her brother-
in-law, Chore!, who procured dnigs for her, and assisted her
in keeping away the old man's relations. But when bar end
was accomplished, and she bad come into possasston of all
Cripin's property, she was unwilling to fufgl the promise
she had made to Chorel of giving him 100,0006,. Incensed
at this treatment, he openly threatened to be revenged, and
these menaces led to the arrest of all the guilty parties.
The prisoners were ably defended by M. Jules Fevre and
other counsel, but they strove in vain against overwhelming
evidence. The jury having brought in a verdict of guilty
against all the prisoners, the court sentenced the female
prisoner and Chore! to 12 years' bard labour, and Fevre to
Ave yaws' imprisonment.
