Italians, and friends of Italian liberty,
mast feel obliged to you for your generous words in vindi-
cation of the character of the illustrious Roman triumvir,
I em sorry to acknowledge that the last attempt in Lom•
bandy was premature: but they know very little of Juleph
Masaini, who can hold the slightest doubt that hie conduct,
although in this am influenced by partially erroneous
views of the actual political circumstances of Europe, may
ever have been prompted by any motive bat the purest,
noblest, and most disinterested patriotism.
. . . .

It is no vain parade of physiall intrepidity, but civil cou-
rage and moral firmness, that is espected from a political
leader ; and who ever displayed these attributes in a more
eminent degree than Joseph Martini? It may, however.
be proper to record that in 1848 he offered himself to shoul-
der his musket, as a common soldier, under Garibaldi, al-
though he was prevailed upon to accept the office of fag-
bearer. He was seen to pace the streets of Heine, several
days after the entrance of the French, in July,
1849. With respect to the recent insurrectionary at-
tempt, whether he is actually in any part of Italy.
subject to despotism, which is quitis probable, or still in the
Italian part of Switzerland, as he is known to have been a
few days previous to the insurrection, why ia it not taken
into consideration that to reach Sew:teed-awl `om England
he must have passed through despotic countries, and should
pass through them again to come back ? Do we believe
that he is not aware that should any of the actual rulers of
the Continent take hold of him they would little rernple to
hand hint over to the tender mercies of Radetzky ?
As to M. Kossuth, the accusation of urreadiness to share
the dangers into which he is said to ensnare others, is, in
this case, even more out of place, if possible, than with re-
gard to my distinguished couatryman. A man who has
held the supremo magistracy of his nation is not exactly
called upon to cross the sea fur the purpose of going to fight
a: a barricade in another country, even when the interest of
thin country is intimately connected with that of his own.

TURN-OFT OF COTTON CLOTH WE\VERS.—Man-
cbenter was yesterday placarded with an appeal to the pub-
lic from the llavanaah weavers of Messrs. .1. I'. Westhead
and Co., who complain that they have been compelled to
strike in consequence of a reduction el winces below what
are given in Manchester of 15 per cent. The cotton dis-
tricts have been remarkably free tram strikes fur some con-
si time put, until this arose.
