of the King Victor Emmanuel remains so oite and
unsullied that the republican party itself dO., nut
dare now to insult it as it did three or four yeaq
ago. His name and that of Italy are ink-parable,
and these two names will continue to be the cry
battle and of victory.
I have not been able to learn anythh.4
respecting Garibaldi's whereabouts. I an,
rant whether he has made the mysterious %iat
alluded to in my letter of yesterday er nut.
Importaar despatches m cyplier were riteit
yesterday at the Ministry of the Interior frr,,,, th

hastily convoked. Upon its breaking up th. 1:.,,w

more than once had delicate and confitlenti..;

I repeat to you what I said about a
threatening note from Austria to our goverrini •it
no such note exists. It is very true that th., day
ago the supposition of there being such a note. w
more general than ever, because Count Bru,•tor d
St. Simon, the Prussian envoy, had an audi,i.co
the King, when it was said he presented tl Au,
Irian note, accompanying it with another ft.;,, I.i
own government. But the count merely 1... i,
family communication, by announcing ottici,';,,

the audience lasted. But I must not refrain 110
from observing, that if there are no note, the
have been plenty of signs for a long time past di.
Austria is preparing not only to defend
she holds in Italy but to regain wh,
she has lost. We know that such into,
tions and hopes actually exist, by meal: I
of letters forwarded to us by friendly star„ • w
see an indication of it in the title of L,„
bardo-Venetian Kingdom" beading the .sushi;
official documents, which immediately after th
Villafranca business merely had the heading ,
" Venetia ;" we know it from the confessions
emissaries who have been arrested from nue t
time, and from documents that have fous.l the
way to us from other parts of Italy. The Curt ,
Rome is iu • strict league with Austria for thi
object and end, and we have obtained some me,
most valuable information since the celebrated in
terview at Teeplits. We know that a coalitio
against France was there broached, and that it wit
resolved to make an approach towards England, an
" make use of her without trusting her"—these ar
the very words that by an indiscretion were bl,,bbe,
in a letter written in Bavaria. To this combilolui
the Pope would lend all the weapons in hie •••,i
ritual armoury ; Prussia, Austria, and sonic of tit
minor powers would supply the soldiers ;
money and ships—supposing Russia keeps ohai
nately aloof from the movement. The first h.,IV
in Italy would be made by preaching communism
in other words, by appealing there to the mos,
brutal passions. Impossible schemes, mid Li•
hopes, you will say. It is not very likely the,
England will give money to help Austria and thd
Pope ' • it is nut very likely that Italy will swallow
the bait of communism. But the schemes and
hopes exist for all that, and from such scheinet and
hopes we shall soon see disturbances ensue, over
which we trust, nevertheless, to obtain the most
signal triumph.

Garibaldi has gone away—on a reconnaissance, it i
supposed—some say to Palermo. It isvery probabk
that both stories are true ; at all eventa one fact .•
certain, the Dictator went on board one of the
steamers, the Washington, and crossing to :thou •
mid-way in the strait, very leisurely reconnoiter....
the coast. He has always a glass in his hands.
On Wednesday, the evening of which Misson'
expedition started, I had an interview with him on
hoard the City of Aberdeen. He was busily
scanning a Neapolitan steamer passing at the time,
the officers of which were on the bridge and paddle
boxes, all pointing their telescopes at the Faro' bn
little thinking that the formidable Garibaldi him
self was so near them. He remarkw to inn,
in his quiet, careful way of speaking, 'I think
that the officers on board that steamer will
distinguish our batteries." I replied that there
was not a doubt of it, particularly the two-,,,0in
battery, whose guns, 68-pounders, were made
rather conspicuous by the bright brass tompions
then shining with the reflection of the sun. After
a little while he spoke of the Faro, observing
that " this is a very commanding position."
We then had some more conversation respee..-
ing the features of the locality and the ad-
vantages it offered for the purpose to which he de-
voted it. The general remained a short time on
the poop, when he took up some things—articles of
attire—and went into the cabin. There were some
friends and a few of his general staff on deck at the
time.

Nothing has taken place worth narrating since
yesterday, but there is rumour enough to fill a
column of your journal.

THE FORESTERS AT THE CRYsTAL PALACE.—A
special dinner was provided at 2 o'clock yesterday, for
°Moors and members of the order, and fully 2,060 persons
sat down to this monster repast, in the great dining-hall
fitted up for the Orpheuniates. At half-peat 3 a display
of the entire series of water-works took and wan re.
panted at half-past 6. In the interval there was a consider.
able change in the composition of the vast concourse.
Thousands leftby special train, chiefly for the country ; but
were replaced by thousands more released from their town
occupations. The sight of so great a multitude,
spread over the beautiful grounds. and indulging in
every description of popular amusement, was highly
interesting ; 'but it was still re so to thread one's
way through the crowd, on the terraces and inside tho
building. Judging from the variety of !feature and
dialect, there were representatives of every eountv in
Great Britain and Ireland ; and there was certainly a
very favourable representation of national character.
Despite the out-door attractions, enhanced by a fine
day—or what may pees for such in this year of St.
Switbin—every department of the palace, from the
tropical to the arctic, wan continually thronged with
interested and admiring groups. The, Picture Gal-
lery had ita crowds of visitors all day long ; and the
sculpture caste excited from many • look of puzzled but
respectful attention. The total attendance amounted to
the unparalleled number of 67,928 ; being 4,747 in excess
of the number (63,181) present last year. It was dusk
long before the enormous crowd showed any clear sign of
diminution ; but the admirable arrangement for lighting
rendered this of little consequence. A string of pleasure
vans assisted the railways in effecting the return journey,
and the thoroughfares leading from the bridges were vocal
at 10 or 11 last night, with the music of the born, which
every Forester seemed to think it a point of good fellow.

EXECUTION AT CARLISLE.—George Cass was
executed at Carlisle gaol yesterday, at noon, for the wilful
murder of Ann Sewell at Embleton, on the 26th of March
last. At the end of fast week the prisoner made another
statement, which, though of a somewhat unsatisfictory
character, tends to clear up some doubts as to the manna
in which the murder was committed, and what was the
motive for such an atrocious crime. It will be remembered
that in the prisoner's orii,-Mal statement he said that the
girl had asked him to mend her clog ; roe refused to do so,
and she threw a knife at him ; be threw it back at her, aid
it stuck in her throat, and then, after she had regite.kd
him to "put her away altogether," he went and indicted
the wounds which caused her death. He now states that
a quarrel arose between him and the girl, in the
about a half-crown which he had lent her ; be ru,h,d at
her in a passion, and pursued her along the passage to the
outer door, where he caught her. A scuttle ensued at the
door, be ion dragged her down the passage (which aceousts
for the streaks of blood found on the wall), and at the code(
the passage where the body wan afterwards found, noir•
dered his victim. About five minutes post 12 red, lay
the bolt was drawn, and the criminal WAS launched into
eternity. At the same instant a load moan passed throu;lt
the whole crowd. The murderer strujgled -hut for .1 few
seconds, and the crowd then began to disperse. tt hde
the body hung only the head and shoulders were visible
from the attest.
