LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22.

THE summer friends of GAILIBLEDI, who have
applauded his triumphs as it were from a pri-
vate box, are beginning to show a little impatience
at the run of the piece, and to criticise in •
querulous tone the situations, the effects, and the
actors. Of course they know the play by heart,
from the first to the final scene—the exposition,
the collision, and the dthiournient. They have
studied it well, commended the " argument,"
thrilled at the incidents, and maintained
that, according to all the canons of dramatic art,
there could be only one conclusion, and that—the
broad and simple one which the "argument"
announced. But whether from mere restlessness or
lassitude, or the fatigue of hearing the name of the
principal actor pronounced so often by the public,
and always with praise, these guides of public
taste and feeling are now half-disposed to quarrel
with the author for not composing • comedy instead
of a drams, and with the actors for taking

their parts too seriously, and thinking
too much of the scene, and not enough of the
audience. For, according to these luxurious critics
the nerves of the audience (that is, of the audi-
ence in the boxes) must be consulted even at the
cost of converting an heroic drains into a panto-
mime, or an army into a corps de ballet, and,
perhaps, pulling down the curtain in the middle of
an act. We ask if this is not the spirit in which
the grand enterprise which has been played out
with amazing success in Sicily, and is now about to
occupy a broader stage, is treated by those friends
—for friends we believe they are—of GARIBALDI,
who excuse themselves for not calling him a
" brigand" by letting him down with the gentler
compliment of " enthusiast." Let us haaten to
declare that we do not impute the adroitly gradu-
ated change of tone to that vulgar fickleness
which is so often unfairly imputed to journals
with a strong barometrical tendency and a high
meteorological reputation. It is not to any sinister
and base habit of desertion of noble causes
that we ascribe this carefully masked evolu-
tion of a contemporary, whose support to the
Italian cause has been so vigorous, not to say en-'
thusisatic, for the last six months. Nor is it the
" trophies of MILTIADAB " that disturb its repose ;
on the contrary, it is the acknowledged appre-
hension lest the laurels of the liberator of Sicily
may be turned into cypress, that inspires this sud-
den alarm at the designs of an "enthusiast," whose
enthusiasm has stirred our contemporary again and
again to noble eloquence, and whose unconcealed
designs it welcomed months ago with generous and
glowing anticipation.
Whence, then, this sudden chill of doubt and
distrust f Why do these summer friends, who
the other day extolled the patriot hero no
less for his tar-sighted discretion than for
h's dauntless courage in the field, now
shake their beads at the " enthusiast "?
Perhaps it is a superior order of human wisdom
that registers the winds. Perhaps we are wrong
in calling these anxious students of the atmosphere
summer friends. The cause they are deserting
is not yet fallen ; they are deserting the sh;p not
because she is sinking, but because she is making
too good weather of it ; if Caro succumbs, they
will be the loudest in pronouncing ors-ions over
his tomb. No ; this is not forsaking a fallen
cause, for the cause is still erect ; it is simply, we
are willing to believe, the habit of looking upon
all causes, good or evil, as so many canvasses for
striking pictures, instead of terrible realities for
living men ; the disposition to regard the needs
and wrongs of struggling nations from the point
of view of some one Power's enlightened selfish-
ness or some other's convenience ; that suggests
these rapid and brilliant dissolving views, in
which a highminded world delights to see its own
generosity reflected, for its guidance and example.
Of course there is no denying that " the pro-
" jects of GARIBALDI " are creating uneasiness in
those great centres of all the civil virtues, the
Bourses of Europe. Italy is springing up to free-
dom as a plant struggles to the light. But the
beneficent travail of nature is quiet and unper-
ceived. The travail of a nation is not so noiseless;
its growth is not so calm, and after a long winter's
sleep ita springtide is a season of throes and con-
vulsions. The whole scheme of Italian emanci-
pation is fraught with dangers and difficulties pro-
portioned to the long agony which the wisdom of
Europe once deliberately inflieted upon the mother
of European civilisation. So much for Italy, for
whose sake all Europe suffers, and deserves to suffer,
so long as she remains a monument of injustice.
If we turn to the special questions of the clay, as
they arise one after the other in fatal succession,
Naples, Rome, Venetia—it is easy enough to say
ofihsaid that it would be far safer and simpler to
km the BOURBON 3 to settle accounts with their
own subjects ; the Popedom to perish softly in
the pious hug of the French Empire ; and as for
Venetia, to wait with patience until there are no
Venetians left for Austria to scourge and tax,
or until Austria, utterly bankrupt, is content
to convert even her Quadrilateral into assets.
These are counsels of prudence no doubt easy to
suggest from a secure distance. On the other
hand, we have to deal with a torn and bleeding
but uprisen people, called last year by the
voice of a trumpet to be soldiers, in order that
they might become citisens of a free country. We
have half a century's accumulated cruelties and
uncounted sufferings demanding vengeance. It
will be the duty of true patriotism and true
statesmanship in Italy to unite in moderating and
restraining blind and tempestuous impulse, and to
insist on doing to-day the work of to-day. We
have seen nothing in the conduct of General
GARIBALDI since his departure for Sicily which can

justify any doubt of his prudence and

tion being equal to his courage. Call ki
if sou will, .6 perill6 chief, Ave b
liant paella= tisk only ; it is not t
lencertain that wliole life Its• been spent in
conflict filth the *lrma extremities of every form
of wee. He is acinowledged • by, those • who.,
know him best to be not only a man of action, but
a man of thought. He is not the only soldier
who has spoken contemptuously of diplomacy ; the
most distinguished commanders of regular armies
have professed small respect for civilian counsels.
But GARIL&LDI has shown on every occasion in
Sicily, as in Lombardy last year, that what in his
exploits appears to the ignorant mere reckless
daring, is in fact the result of deliberate calcula-
tion and collected forethought. With incredible
fertility of resource he has shown how to
make the most of the smallest means ;
and it is noteworthy that the foolhardy actions of
which he has been repeatedly accused beforehand
have never taken place, whilst his astonishing vic-
tories have been the victories of that sure and calm
judgment of opportunities, which, in the rapidity
of its results, looks like audacity. It is from an
attentive study of the career of this extraordinary
man (whom the wisdom and virtue of an age like
ours may well misinterpret) that we feel perfect
confidence that he is an "enthusiast" only in the
sense in which that extremely limited portion of
mankind who are not the " servant& of unrighte-
" ousnese" are enthusiasts. But if an " enthu-
" 'last" means a veteran soldier of genius, and a
patriot that never despaired of his country—who
flings away her fortunes and his own on a single
stake, against odds which no gambler or madman
would accept—then we confidently affirm General
GARIBALDI is no " enthusiast," though the friends
of Austria may wish he were a dupe.

week. The beautiful weather of the last few days and the
bodily strength of the august patient have permitted of
the resumption of carriage exercise. The spot selected for
these excursions, which have always taken place towards

give details of the successful exposure of an extraordinary
insurance fraud. A merchant, of fair standing and excel-
lent family connexions, pretended to be engaged in buying
ap gold doublocse for shipment oe board a vessel he bad
lately purchsaed. He made up boxes purporting to contain
30,000/., but which, instead, were filled with stones ; while
at the same time he extracted 20,0001. from other boxes
which had been sent on board as freight. He accompanied
the vessel himself, and after a certain period news arrived
that she had foundered off Rio Grande, Brasil. The value
et the gold was chimed from the underwriters, and two
lannace companies at Valparaiso paid their pol'ciee, but •
company in New York and Lloyd's in London refused to
settle without further explanation. The result has been
that they have unravelled the whole affair, the agent of the
&lingo's* having made • full confession.

LATEST INTELLIG,
TM Bombay Gazette of tilt 23rd alt. mays
lice Indian public, having ravOired from its brief fit of
Political excitement, has cassette discuss general principles of
taxation ; and in this exhausting climate teer ,persons have
the courage to take an interest in, or even to read, the
apparently interminable discussions on the clauses of the
Income-tax Bill, with which the Calehtts papers are filled.
8, the bill progresses through committee, not so fast as
might be, for Mr. Wilson boa been ill, and the abeam el
Sir James Outran anti the necessity of one el
the judge-legialators deserting the conned to attend to
the sessions have c►used several postponements.
The rather awkward discovery has been made that the eas
miement and levying of new direct taxes in Oude, before
the Income-tax Bill has parsed the Legislative Camas
must be regarded as illegal acts ; and the energetic ofilleisk
who were so highly praised for the skill and fairness they
had shown in introducing a scheme of taxation so strew to
Asiatic ideas, will require a bill of indemnity to relieve them
of the pains and penalties which are the legal reward of their
path The Disarming Act, which raises the oldantagonisrn of
white and black, is more fiercely criticised than all the
financial measure' put together. After long and lively
debates, in which there occurred some sharp poc-sges of
ulna between Sir Mordant Wells, Mr. Harrington, Sir B.
'Peacock, and Mr. Wilson, the bill peeved, bet in a very
different shape from that in which it was originally pre-
sented to the council. The government carried their point
of sot specially exempting Europeans, but permission 1.
eves by the act to magistrates to exempt whomsoever they
piens be he native or European.
Mr. Wilson has explained in the Legislative Council, to
I quiet some disagreeable reports, that India will have to
bear no shore of the expenses of the Chinese war. All that
has been done is to grant permission to the commissary-
general of the expedition to draw not more than 50,0001. a
mouth for eight months on ►ccount of the war, his drafts
being forwarded to London and placed to the credit of the
lodise government.

We are now in the midst of a very heavy monsoon.
Upwards of 50 inches of rain have fallen since the com-
mencement of the monsoon last month.

The Bombay Times and Standard, in an extra
edition, publishes the following "special telegram"
from Calcutta :—" Standing orders suspended—
Income Tax Bill passed—rust quarterly payment
to be due on the Ist of November next—Tax not
retrospective—Twelve months' imprisonment and
fine for closing shops, or doing or inducing any act
to defeat the bill."

The Bombay Telzgraph, in ita commercial sum-
mary, sip :
Brace our last, owing to advice, received from England and
China, our export market for cotton has become depressed,
and very little business doing. We now quote new Dhollerah,
rupees 114 ; Broach, rupees 121 to 122 ; and Oomrawuttee,
mow 115 per candy. The import market remains very
dull. A very slight improvement is perceptible in the rates
of freight ; we now quote for London 2/. 10s. for cotton
and seeds; Liverpool, 24 55.; and China, rupees 15 per
candy. Money market is very easy.
