TUSIN,"Arau. It
eigi r es for whinnies' into the Chamber of
Deputies ha/ been greet that the office of the
Quo:tura was obliged to pat up a placard, inform-
in4 the Tunueee that all the tickets had been diis-
tedioesl on the previous day. At one o'clock the
gal!. ress were already occupied by the fortunate
hoidens or the blue and red bits of piper which
het Leen so anxiously asked for, and ob-
tamed with ei much difficulty. The diplomatic
gilb•ry was completely filled with ladies and
gentlemen. The Honourable Mrs. Cadogan and
bi.• ellionees Bon were preminent amongst the
loniser. But I shall oily briefly allude to the oc-
Catl4*ll, leaving to your parliamentary correspondent
the taisk of sending you a detailedaccount of the
interesting scene which, as was to be expected, ((A-
hmed Garibaldi's interpeUstion on the question of
Him There was something even affecting in hearing
the representative of that once Italian town make
an eloquent appeal to the feelings of the house.
Laureuti Robendi, Medians, Clienal,
and many others, spoke in defence of poor Nice •
but, alas ! Count Cavour stood at his ministeriai
bench with a mournful look, cold as an image of
thetiuy, and stern as a resew' of state. Count
Male iani showed the true state of the question when
in swiveling Deputy Cheual, he exclaimed, "There
it nothing (OT as but to be resigned."
I am informed by some of my friends at Bologna
that au ineideut has taken place there which
modem mere and more evident the fact that the
eacimuniunication is a mere belittles fie:men-ea dead
Whirr On Monday last au eloquent Capuchin
trier WA. proAd.ing his last Lent sermon in San
fletrouio, which is not only the principal church of
Bologna but one of the largest and noblest in
elaristendigu, chiefly admired by the lovers of art
kw the imposing yet elegant simplicity of its gothic
architecture. The preacher closed the sermon with
this invocation, " Blrs., oh great God, the supreme
bead of the church, that by hie spiritual power
be may emeilidate concord and peace among
nations ! Biers our King Victor Emmanuel, that
be may bring to an end the great work of the Ita-
lian redemption ! Bless our deputies, who are called
to reprisient our interests and wants, and to uphold
public right ! Bleed the Senate, etc." A murmur
of approbation nee from the vast multitude tilling
the church upon hearing these words, uttered with
emphases by the Capuchin friar. As he descended
from the pulpit he could scarcely pass through
the crowd, wi eager were they to have a closer look
at hr. features. He conduct in publicly blessing
the excommunicated King was considered as the
act not merely of a patriot but also of a true and
Wee: friend of religion. Possibly there is the less
to wonder at in this incident, a.. the Capuchins are
the pooreet and therefore the most dem. erste: and
liberal-minded of all the religious orders. Next
morning the church of San Petresio was
Moil again at the early hour of six
al
w efts simply doeinius of hearing the go
ellobe lain friar's masa ; and the crowd soon
incremed rich a pitch, even outside of the
shun:6, in the neighbouring square of the Peel-
glieue, that the preacher had to harangue them from
a window. Some of the land-owners in the pro-
vinces oA Bologna and Ferrara, Signor Borselli
among ether, have ordered their tenants to refuse
the dunce to the archbishop and the priests. Their
example is likely to be followed by others. They
very properly say, "Since you have chosen to put
in out of the pale of the church, we choose to
/11:11/i0 there ; and we consequently decline to pay
you any longer as our spiritual chiefs."
I am sorry to be obliged to give you some bad
NOMA shout Nice, The new governor, Lubonie, is
acting so openly and impudently in the exclusive
intermit of Frame that I have heard even parti-
sans the annexation declare his conduct to be
at Last imprudent. A circular has been sent
vomit to t'ae mayors to warn them that
France will know how to treat each COM-
-111111,2 according to its votes ; they are ordered
to report to the central authority the opposers of
this Aninevekti.vn Thu lows Wagged a eiroular,
in which he proclaims it a duty to vote for France.
Both three documents were communicated to the
house by one of the members for Nice.
This morning I saw Signor Carpi place in the
Lands of Count Cavour a bundle of papers, coutain-
Mg the result of three thousand votes given by the
inhabitants of the portion of the province of Man-
tua on the right bank of the Po for their annexation
to Piedmont only a few days before they were again
subjected to the cruel yoke of Austria. The chief
towns of that unhappy district are Courage, Re-
vere, and Sermide. It may give you an idea of the
&Area in which they are plunged to know that
all the families of the upper and middle classes
have emigrated from Gonnige to the neighbouring
province of Modena, now annexed to Piedmont.
Only a few days ago, on the ith nat., at Revere, the
Austrians, withoutany previoweituninons, fired upon
and killed two fishermen in a boat on the Po, upon
the mere groundless suspicion that fugitives were
lurking at the bottom .4 the boat. The little craft
drifted to the right bank on the Fenimore territory,
where the corpses of the two poor men were re-
ceived and decently buried. The terror caused by
the Austrian oppression in Venetia is beyond de-
scription.
While the interpellations and debates were going
ou in the Chamber, another remarkable incident
took place in the streets of Turin. The 38th 1140-
spent, belonging so the Tuscan Brigade Pietom,
arrived by railway from Genoa. They had a warm
reserption from a vied crowd in the streets through
which they marched, saluted by dowers and rims.
