THZ ITALIAN N4I:IO.NAL SOCIETY AND THE

21011J478,

Ex:

The Italian National Society has issued from
Turin a circular to its friends in foreign countries. The
following is a tranelation :
" Sicily has risen against her y tyrant, who, directed
by the Jesuits, consents to massacre his subjects in the most
atrocious manner, sparing neither women, nor ehildree,
nor old men. The Italian National Society would belie its
past history if it did not endeavour by every possible means
to aid the numerous victims of the Bourbon of Naples. It
has, consequently. opened • subscription in all ite corn.
rallies', and on the first day It succeeded in collecting a
sum of fifty thousand francs ; but to enable the Sicilians to
ccediuue the struggle against a regular army, excited
to carnage by all sorts of bribes, they must have
arms, munitions, and provisions. With this object the so.
ciety makes an appeal to the liberals of all countrim ; it
begs them to found committees for soliciting and receiving
subscriptions in favour of • people which has been driven
to insurrection by the severest and most abject absolutism,
and which desires to form part of a free and independent
Italy.
The faithful of the different Shites of Europe, at the
instigation of their bishops, are sending money to Rome for
the purpose of subduing by cannon and musket, and bring-
ing again under the Papal yoke, the Legatiow, which have
succeeded In freeing themselves. Liberals ought to imitate
their example by coming to the aid of the Sicilian insurgents.
The central committee at Turin undertakes to convey to
them the succours thus obtained ; and the weekly paper of
the society will record the names of the puerous donors.
A beginning has already been made at GLiepw ; but the
liberals of France, of Belgium, of Germany, and of Swe-
den ought not to be behind those of Englend in work
which highly coucerus the liberty of all peoples, for the fall
of the despotic government In Sicily will involve that of
many others ; and the Sicilians, when they have broken
their own chain; will not fail to acquit themselves of their
debt of gratitude, to the benefit of other peoples who may
have risen in • cause similar to their own.

FROM PARIS. I

PARIS, XOADAT EVZIFING.
The news reached Paris to-day, simultaneously
from London and Vienna, that a part of Garibaldi's
expedition has landed at Marsala in Sicily. It was
reported at the Bourse, in contradiction to one of
Reuter's despatches, that the landing was effected
without opposition. Whether Garibaldi himself
was with the troops that landed we do not yet
know. The Neapolitan embassy circulates a report
here that every man who set foot on Sicily was
killed by the royal troops.
A Turin letter in the Prase of May 12 states
that the evacuation of Piedmont by the French
troops appears to be suspended, and that, the 99th
Regiment has received orders to halt at Genoa, and
to do " garrison " duty there.

The /lonise was greatly agitated by the Italian
news. Besides the various rumours about Gari-
baldi, it was said that the Sardinian government
had suddenly sent an army to Siena, in conse-
quence of a movement of General Lamoricibre upon
Gubbio. The Bente, after several fluctuations,
closed at 69fr. SW. and 69fr. 750., with a fall of
15c. and 10e. Mobilier left off without change.
Railways were about 2fr. 60c. lower.
• •

The Cowrie. de l'lserd publishes a communicated
note,• denying that it is intended to dismember the
department, in order to incorporate a part of it
with Savoy.

The Morgue has been unusually crowded yester-
day and to-day, in consequence of the exhibition
on one of the melancholy pewter couches, on which
in this peculiar institution unclaimed dead bodies
are exposed to the gaze of a wondering public, of
the corpse of a man, apparently 70 years
old, so very thin that it is difficult to
believe that he could have lived. He
was found drowned in the Seine, near Choisy-le-
Roi, and it is the opinion of the police
that his death must have been accidental. At all
events, the presumption is that he cannot have
committed suicide from poverty, for he was very
well dressed, had on two flannel waistcoats—very
necessary, perhaps, to keep the little blood in his
veins circulating—and wore gold studs in his shirt.
His linen was marked "C. J. L." The supposi-
tion is that the individual in question must be the
"living skeleton" who for many years exhibited
himself in the Champs Elys6es, and at the fairs iu
the environs of Paris.

ITALY.

SARDINIA.

(nom •

TURIN. MAY 11.

The French, the English, and the Russian ambas-
sadors have already protested against the expedi-
tion of Garibaldi, as an infraction of the
neutrality of the kingdom. Of these protests the
Russian was couched in the strongest language, the
French milder, and the English was scarcely more
thin a friendly remonstrance, warning the govern-
ment not to be imprudent. The Neapolitan ambas-
sador is likely to be recalled, and complains
loudly of Count Cavour's complicity with Gari-
baldi. Since it is quite certain that Austria will
likewise be indignant with Sardinia, it is important
to state the facts of the case before we pass any
judgment upon the behaviour of the government.
The new kingdom is certainly in an abnormal posi-
tion. Austria, which from the Quadrilateral
always threatens the eastern frontier, protested
against the annexation of Modena and Tus-
cany, and openly sides with the two Archdukes,
who have reserved their rights and claims, and
may at the first opportunity invade Central Italy
at the head of an Austrian army. The Pope has
likewise refused to come to terms with Victor Em-
manuel ; he maintains his claims upon the Lega-
tions ; Lamoriciere organises for him an army out
of proportion with the financial resources of the
country ; crusaders are flocking under his com-
mand from the Faubourg St. Germain and from the
palaces of Vienna ; the Roman catholic world is
called by the Pope to pay St. Peter's pence and to
take up the loan offered by his minister ; Austrian
soldiers, to the number of 6,000, are sent in go-
vernment steamers from Trieste to Ancona ; a bri-
gade of Irishmen is expected, and Belgian volun-
teers are on their way. All these preparations
mean war against Sardinia, or else they ruin the
Pope. Naples concentrates troops on the Roman
frontier, and negotiations are carried on to
put them under the command of Lamoricihre ; and
again, Austrian recruits are sent to the Neapolitan
porta of the Adriatic to reinforce the army. France,
on the other hand—the only ally of Victor Emma-
nuel, since England avoids entangling alliances and
keeps aloof from any continental war—guarantees
only Lombardy and Parma to the new kingdom,
being bound by the treaty of Zurich to rcepeot the
rights of the Archdukes of Modena and
Under such circumstanced the Italian statesmen must

appeal to the national feelings of the country, and
seek their strength in the enthusiasm for Italian
unity. Such being the case, the insurrection in Sicily
could not be pleasant to ount Cavour, who knows
his countrymen, and especially Garibaldi, too well,
not to see at once all the difficulties of his position.
The ferocious cruelty of the Neapolitan troops in
Sicily created the greatest excitement in Northern
Italy, and yet it gives, according to Vattel and
Grotiva no aufficient reason for Victor Emmanuel
to declare war against Naples, since every king has
the right to wallop his own nigger'. He mina keep
his neutrality, not to be accused by Europe of am-
bition, and not to expose himself to war with
Austria and to the enmity of France. Garibaldi,
however, made no secret of his intention to go to
the rescue of Sicily • and to prevent the expedition
by open force would'have been practically impossible,
since Genoa and half the kingdom would have
risen in his defence. The government tried, there-
fore, to put a atop to the expedition by taking oars
that no ship iu the port of Genoa should take up
Garibaldi'. adventurers, and by doing everything to
prevent him from getting arms and ammunition.
Thus Count Cavour honestly strove to maintain
the neutrality of the country. Garibaldi'a
however, is stronger than Count Cavour's orders ;
he succeeded, by moans known to himself only, in
getting 1,200 volunteers to Genoa, meetly his
old companions in arms, and some stu-
dents from Pavia. He was soon strong enough to i
take 111911 and ships by force, since the sympathies of
all Italy, not excepting the government officials,
were with him ; but unwilling to augment the
troubles of the cabinet, and to compromise the
government of the King, he sent back from among
his volunteers all the soldiers who had deserted
their regiments and had flocked to him ; he found
means of getting arms; the municipalities of
Pavia, Brescia, and Milan sent money ; he char-
tered two vessels, which cruised outside the har-
bour, and suddenly, on the sth, at night, he em-
barked and steamed off. The government did not
aid and abet him in any way ; still it did not try to
prevent his departure by open force, as it might
have done if an expedition were preparing against a
friendly power.
Garibaldi in the hum of his departure had to
leave a portion of the ammunition belliud at Genoa.
A third steamer, under Nino Bixio, joined him
from Leghorn • hugging the coast they soon
readied Orbitello, the extreme port of Tusmiiv'
where they landed, and after having organised the
embarkation and better distributed their arms and
ammunition and completed all their arrangements,
they proceeded onwards. We have no further in-
telligence from them, but it is thought they go
straight to Sicily, where Garibaldi's arrival
already expected by the incur eats, and spreads
terror among the soldier* of the King.

THE AMERICAN PRESS AND THE CHAMPION-

SHIP.

The New York papers received to-day teem with accounts
of the fight. The New York Hensld calls it " The settled
overthrow of the British Lion," and goes on to my :—" It
must be distressing to the solid Islanders, that the Bri-
tish lion has been whipped. Worse than all, he has tried
to weak out of it in the most ignominious manner. The
Britons, whose love of fair play is universal, stopped the
fight in order to sem War money, fight Ea le

poor old Lion, the bully who bee bead morning up and
dorm the earth,fords° many years roaring at everybody,
may go my in some secluded corner, and suck his bruised
paws, while all oontinental Euro laughs at him, and is
glad that the United States has dune it.

The Times of to-day has the following :
" Sir,—Ever since the appearance in your paper of May 7
of the letter of Toni Sayers, I have endeavoured by every
means in my power to ascertain from him in an official vial,
guaranteed by the presence of the editor of Bello Li e,
whether he intoo4ll to abide by the date recently fixed or
us by that gentleman for the champion's belt and stakes.
The editor of Belt, life, in view of the sentiments of that
letter, acknowledged the propriety of such inquiries on my
part, and also of such proposed official response on the part
of Sayers, and did what he could by letters and telegraph
despatches to get Sayers here to answer. Until Saturday,
however, it was impossible for him to aicert•in, with cer-
tainty, even in what part of England Sayers then was, and
finally, through the failure of such attune, I received infer.
nation on Saturday from the editor and referee, that he
could not interfere further in the matter. Now, air, ma I
am left as it were ' all at sea,' and as it was yesterday aimed
in Belle Lift that I was desirous of bringing the matter to
an amicable arrangement with Sayers, I will state what I
em willing to do. lam willing, tint of all, to accept of the
proposition made by a writer in Belt. Life, that Savers and
I should have • 'belt apiece,' to be gotten by public sub-
scription—provided that the true champion's belt remain
in the hands of the editor of Bell's life, to be fought for
again, the best man to take it. If that be not agreed to, I
will acoeptthe proposition pat forth in Punch—via., to divide
the belt—l to take one half, and Sayers to keep the other half.
I will then head • subscription to provide • new half to his,
and in this wad I think good feeling may be preserved on
both sides. neither of these propositions (preceeding,
as they do, from English sources) are allowed to me, then I
shall claim; that Sayers meet me on neutral ground, where
our late battle may be properly resumed. Though lam
not yet quite ready to become member of the Peace
shim I As the belt may
will cheerfully vary my propositions somewhat to
be said to be equally owned by
both of us, I will agree to run him • footrace from 100 yards
to five miles for the stakes and belt, or I will wrestle with
him for the belt, or I will row him for the belt, I will swim
a mile with him for the belt, or I will take hold of hands
and jump from • housetop with him for the belt. If all
these offers will not do, I will agree in two months to be
ready to fight the four beet men that can be produced
in England, beginning with Sayers, at intervals of 30 dare
apart, for the lash. I was told. if I won it I could have it.
I would rather fight for it than anything else ; but I am
willing, wider the present state of public feeling, to accept
of halt of it. If that be denied me, end through the ex .mr
tional action of the British authorities I be denied the
privilege of another meeting, I shall have no alternative but
to go home, retelling all English testimonials and subscrip-
Liam, and slall hereafter feel at liberty—nay, justified by
' all the equities of the late transaction—to sega myself
' The Champion of the World.'—l remain, el:, your
obedient servant, JOB% C. llamas.

THE Par= Durv.—Yesterday a very influential
meeting was held at the Clarence Hotel, iu this city, to
determine the steps which should be taken to resist the
opposition threatened by Lords Monteagle and Derby to
the repeal of the paper duty. In the first place, a memorial
was agreed to, requesting the mayor to call • public meet.
kg in Manchester, to consider the position of affairs,
and what should be done. A petition was also adopted
to the House of Commons, declaratory of the " alarm'
with which the petitioners have heard 4 the
attempt made in " another home" to continue the im.
position of a tax over and above the amount already
sanctioned by the House of Commons as necessary for 'the re-
ckuireineuts of her Majesty's government; and finally *memo.
rod was agreed upon, to be nut to Lord Palmerston, urging
his lordship, by all nouns in his power, to resist the
attempt of the lords to "override the deliberate des
ciaion of the House of Commies." The meeting, a, we
have said, was a very influential one, and the beat proof of
its earnestness. was the raising of a considerable sum of
money to tarry on the operations flea-wiry fertile brief cam-
paign before the second readiug of the bill in the Lords. Of
the proceedings reported from all pada of the truantry
in consequence of this opposition from the Upper House
there is none more important than the report furnished by
the Scotsman, a journal generally well informed on these
matters, that her Majesty's government will undoubtedly
resign offioe in the event of the success of Lord Derby in
the House of Lords.—ifeacArater Ezanti.er.
THE WEATHER AND THE OROPS.—The trees have
everywhere shot out into luxuriant foliage; the pas-
tures have put on a bright glean, and the grass is
now rapidly growing. From all quarters we receive
the same accouut, and our correspondents *peek of
the growth of vegetation as being so great, that nay can
"almost see the grass grow." The change has come
none too mon, for vegetation of all kinds was most backs
ward, and the inanity of keep for stock had reached a
point that was really must serious in its effect upon
ugriculturiata Now, however, all is once more hopeful,
and nature bids fair to compel:mate for pest backward-
ness ley an extraordinarily rapid growth. The erupt are
everywhere showing the beneficial effects of the recent
moisture and warmth ; the wheats are fast recoveriug a
vigorous appearance, while beans and peas, barley end oats,
have already derived immense advantage rout the change.
Reports from the hop district speak of great and rapid int-
pniveineut, and in many places the poling will scarcely be
completed before the time services are required. Rarely
has so extraordinary a change iu all vegetation been wit.
limed in so extremely brief a period—New, Aclverliar.
ST. Jamaa's HALL—The annual performance of
the Musick for the benefit of thin Royal Society of Mu-
sicians will take place on Friday next. To an unusual array
of principal combats is added the attraction of an orchestra
compnsing the most eminent inetnimeatalists, aided by a
large chorus, and ocaulitetesl by Pmfesane Stenidale Bennett.
This excellent charity, the funds of which this perfortmurce
is intended to aid, distributed last year upwards of 11.9001.
to distressed musicians and their families.
WRECK OF A DERRY STEAMER.—Tho Loedon-
sherry correepoudent of the Frerman', Jourliat, writing on
Sunday, says : " The new screwateamer, Falcon, Captain
Fagleston, trading between this port and Glasgow, wag
