MMON. SATURDAY. NOV. it

YRNTERDAT, a telegram from Turin informed
the English pablic that "in consequence of a
" very mama representation received from the
• Preash Government the King VICTOR EMMA.
SLIM has refused to grant permission to the Priam
de CARD.NIN to accept the Regency of Central
" Italy, which has been offered to him." And this
morning a despatch from our Paris correspondent
Worms es that the news is false, that the KING has
not yet either given or refused the necessary perm*.
don, and that the only truth is the first stetseasat
is, that the French Government hes formally ad-
vised that of Sardinia to withhold its consent to the
wishee of Central Italy. We are very glad of this
contradictioc, which wassesessary to prevent a most
serious degradation of Piedmont in thesym of free-
men all over the world. It was bad enough for
Generals LA lAILIIOZA and DADORMIDA to be held
up to the world with their colleagues as crowning an
administration conspicuous for the absence of firmness
and steadiness of aim by a signal demonstration of
irresolution and imbecility. But it was still worse to
be gibbeted as carrying out the behests of a foreign
sovereign. This correction is, there!,,,, most timely,
and there is still room to hope that the Ministers of
the Kitio may yet make up their minds to embrace
a wise and independent policy. When the Governors
and Generals of Central Italy resolved to convoke
the assemblies of the several states, and invited
them to elect the Prises EUGENE as their Regent, they
must have known that their project was distasteful
to both the authors of the treaty of Villarreal*.
Even if the clear and positive terms in which Count
WAnzerext denounced the /scheme to the Sardinian
Government two months ago were a secret, the
Estreaol's own explicit declaration to the Tuscan
deputise, that he must strenuously oppose the plan,
was well known. This opposition, which at that time
was no reason why the Governors of Central Italy
should desist from a temente deemed requisite for the
safety of their States, became a powerful motive for
urging it forward from the moment of the publica-
tion of Locus NAPOLEON'S letter to the King of
SARDINIA. It wee, indeed, announced early in the
week by one of the most careful, and generally
most correct, of our contemporaries, that the opposi-
tion of France had been withdrawn, but the event
disproves the too hasty assertion. Our well-
informed correspondent at Turin told as yester-
day that this act of the riders of Central Italy had
not been concocted with the Sardinian Governments
but had taken it by surprise. We may °wielder,
then, that F.istst, RICASOLI, ?ANTI, and GARI-
BALDI, in adopting the course we have seen them
taking, were willing to put the resnlution and
energy of the Sardinian Government to the test.
Certainly that is the effect of what they have done.
kiedmont, which, under CAVOUR, earned its position
st 'lie head of Italy by the courageous pursuit of a
nation`* and independent policy, !s now M Drove
whether it Ii Stijl worthy of that place. Perhaps it
is hiready too late ; perhaps it is to Central
Italy that Sardinia is in tura to owe that eman-
cipation from foreign influence which it pro-
cured for the Duchies. We hope not;
we hope that the stability, and organisation, and
experience of constitutional government which the
Piedmontese have acquired will still serve to support
and guide the young liberty of Central Italy; but as
Englishmen we would rather see the freedom of
Central Italy saved, if need be, by the sword of
OAMLEALDI than permitted to risk decorously for the
seavenience of fisiaiiiiits at Turin. We are not die-
poled to underrate the difficulties by which the Sardi-
nian Ministers have found themselves surrounded ever
since Count CAVOCR was jerked from the side of his
Sovereign by • foreign Power t but we wish that
we could believe th.y had some brettiog sense
of the powerful means of oveteeming these difficul-
ties which the spirited sad independent con-
duct of the people of Central Italy has since offered
to them. They have sow ono more opportunity
of retrieving their charac,er as statesmen, and we
easneetly hope that they will comprehend its critical
importance.

Thu remarks we lately telt it ear duty to melees
the loss of the Royal Clearlor have brought as •
.saber of letters expressive of regret at our noes-
meets, but in no instance cootreverting them. Is
truth, the points of public interest which the ad-
mitted facts of the wreck appeared toss to suggest.
and which we is the fair exercise of our calling sub-
mitted to the attention of our readers, were not
designed to throw blame on any person, but, on the
contrary, were selected with a .crapulous anxiety to
spare the feelings of the living and to respect the
memory of the dead. Indeed, in the absence of eat•
flcient inquiry, we had no personal charges to bring,
and even had the materials existed we should
have been loth to bring them, and still
more loth to hszard insinuations ; we even
guarded ourselves religiously against adopt-
ing the lent. vant, and, as we conceive, •a-
eoneidered imputations which were more thus
whispered at the Inquest, and we were espesially
fateful to speak of the ship and of the apparent

causes other fate in se impersonal a meaner as
Friable. When we spoke of" the melee in which
" the evidence" (at the Inquest) " was profeesionally
" handled on behalf of the owners of the ship, or by
" way of satisfaction to mourning relatives," being
I calculated to divert the inquiry, 13 embarrass, or to
" evade it," we were very far—the words we have
quoted forbid the supposition—from suggesting any
foregone design on the part of the owners to disturb
or divert the evidence; but we meant to express •
conviction, which we still entertain, that an ioquiry
' attended with so much unavoidable display of feeling
en either side was unsatisfactory to the public inte-
rests concerned.

If we spoke of " professional' usistanee at the
Inquest, we relied on the public reports of the pro-
ceedings, in which we found it stated that " Mr.
" MELLott, of Warrington, solicitor, attended for
" Messre.DlßßS end BRIGUT, the owners of the Royal
" Charter." A correspondent, however, who writes
with authority, informs us that Messrs. GIBBS and
BRIGHT were not in fact the owners of the Royal
CAarter, but only the agents for the Liverpool and
Australian Navigation Company, to which the ship
beluga& As to the construction of the ship, an_
ether correspondent, equally trustworthy, assures
us that the Royal Cltarier was "an extremely strong
" and powerful ship, built of fine, and chiefly Stat.
fordshire iron," and reminds us that she had made
" several most successful voyages, and had been over
" and over again surveyed by the Board of Trade
and other competent authorities, who all spoke
"most highly of her; moreover, that Dr. Soo/muff,
" whose' Voyage in the Royal Charter' hu recently
" been published, speaks more then once of her
"strength, and many admirable qualities in
" storm •od " Nothing then or after-
" wards," we are &seared, " has been spared
"to render her one of the strongest as
"she was one of the finest ships afloat. She was a
"most carefully built and an expensive ship, and
"use when she did strike, it seems to have take*
"six hours before she broke up." All this we have
no doubt is strictly correct, but it does not in any
way deal with the circumstances immediately pre-
ceding and attending the loss of the ship, into which
it will be the office of the Board of Trade to inquire
next week, to the satisfaction, we doubt not, of the
responsible owners or agents, than whom we are
well aware no shipowning fins in this country enjoy
a higher character public and private, or are more de-
servedly esteemed. We conclude this brief explana-
tion, in the words of Mr. MELLOR, who daring the
Inquest appealed to the judgment of the Press, and
generously volunteered to pat any questions, as •
friend, which any mourning relative might suggest.
On one occasion the Coroner is reported to have said,
1" I think we are going too far." "If this was an
" inquiry against Captain TAYLOR," replied Mr.
Minuet, with expellent feeling and discretion, " it
" would not be evidence ; but as it is as inquiry UM
"M. &sea of other people, the answer aught to be
" taken even on hearsay, for what it is worth."

Now, we repeat, we have brought no charge',
made no insinuations ; we bays dealt simply with the
admitted facts of this terrible disaster, and we only
ask that the considerations we have raised—not, we
entreat our correspondents to believe, without a due
sense of responsibility, nor at random—may be
° taken for what they are worth."
