Italy was but a geographical

for so

many Austrianiseddynasitiee and oppressed popu-
lations. It is in virtue of another public law than
Marreasicies that Italy North and South is
already practically acknowledged to be one ; and
it is in virtue of this principle that Count Csvoua
sends General La M MIMOSA to Naples to preserve
civil order, and to reorganise the shattered army
of the South. No European Government—cer-
tainly not England—can regret that tho Govern-
ment of Piedmont steps in to preserve constitu-
tional and national principles at Naples, and to pre-
vent any foreign pretender from taking advantage
of an interregnum to conquer or cajole the suf-
frages of the mob. It will be interesting to
observe the effect of the request which the Cabinet
of Turin is about to make to the Papal Govern-
ment. The Government of his HOLINESB will be
asked to permit a Piedmontese army to traverse
the frontiers of the States of the Church. This
was accorded to the troops of Austria by the
Pore's permission in 1821, and to the troops
of the King of NAPLEY in 1848. Will
Cardinal A NTI/NELLI, M. DE MIZODIL, and
General LA NORICI ERE be equally accommo-

dating in 1860 to the army of Vicroa Emits-
NEEL ? And if not, what next? The Emperor of
the FRENCH invited us to send our troops through
Prance to Marseilles during the Indian mutiny,
and the Viceroy of Fiver assured us that we
might send our entire army through his State.
As an act of courtesy, therefore, there is nothing
uncommon in the testimony of goodwill which
Prey IX. is invited to offer in so grave an emer-
gency as the present state of the kingdom of
Naples. The Count of Srsactres has already
urged VIrTOR EXIKANOIL, as King of Italy, to
occupy the kingdom of FRANCIA H. ; and
FRANCIS 11. is ready and anxious to be off to
Gaeta, as the last stage on Neapolitan soil, on
his route to Vienna or Madrid. If the POPE
forbids a passage through his States to
an excommunicated army, what then f Time

is precious, transports are wanting, delay
is fatal. Within the next fortnight or throe
weeks we may perhaps know what stuff Limo-
ItICIERE'S army is made of—whether it is in a
condition to repeat the exploit■ of Perugia ; and
other questions besides the Neapolitan may be
hastening to a solution. Austria will certainly not
be attacked, and will certainly not move from her
Quadrilateral to intercept the fulfilment of Gatti-
RALDei4 enterprise in the Two /Reifies or elsewhere.
The Emperor of the Furartsm, who has expressed
himself anxious to see the Italian question settled
" any how, but without foreign intervention," will
hardly be prepared to do more than guard the
gates of the Vatican and the road to Civita
Vecchia.

The preposterous account which the Coarrier da
Diusanthe gicce of a vacation visit which Mr. EDWIN
J A RIX is *bait to pay to General GARIBALDI needs,
of course, no contradiction in Euglaral. But it may
be uessasary to assure our Paris contemporaries
that Mr. Jamas has DO authority of any kiud—
official, officious, personal, or private--to represent
the British government, to express the views of
Lord Palmerston, or to offer on the part of the
Queen's Ministers, or any of them, advice, sugges.
Bons, recommendation*, or objections to General
GARIBALDI. Mr. J AMIN simply carries to the Eng-
lish Minister at Naples an ordinary letter of intro-
duction, such as any other gentleman in his pos;-
tion obtains as a matter of oourse. Other creden-
tials or authority he has none.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

INDIA.

We have received Bombay journals of Auguat 7.

The Income-tax Act came into operation on the
let of the month, and will cease—such is the pro-
spect held out—on the 31st of August, 1865. The
act is already in full operation, and the salaries of
all officials, subject to its conditions, were propor-
tionately out for the month of July. Much dis-
content has been excited in consequence ; " but,"
says the Telegraph and Courier,

As the victims are all government servants, the exwere-
time have as yet been not loud, but deep. It is, how-
ever, in the Mofwail, and not in the presidency towns,
where the gathering of the tax will be attended with
danger. But even in Bombay, daring the last few days,
a factious spirit has manifested itself, which reflects any.
thing but credit upon the reputation for loyalty which
Bombay achieved during the crisis. According to a contem-
porary, "terrified into action by the conviction now at last
forced upoo them that the dreaded income-tax, which they
so fondly hoped to escape, will certainly be imposed, the
' 'Undo. cloth merchants in the bazaar took the initiative,
on the let instant, in rebellion by entering into
a league to close their shops, carry home their
books, and rigidly abstain from all business till
the income-tax i repealed. These affectionately
loyal subjects, whom we have petted and fawned upon
till they have risen to thin unparalleled height of in.
soleace, have, we are informed, opened negotiations
with the Mahomedan merchants and traders to
induce them to join in factious opposition to a government
whose only fault is that it has shown too much deference to
the feelings of people who are incapable of appreciating
either generosity or forbearance. The butchers have al-
ready raised the price of meat throe-fold, and are selling now
41bs. for a rupee ; and it is rumoured that the malcontents
are endeavouring to incite all the provision traders of
the bazaar to close their shops and cause a famine
in the town, which, they fancy, will be more efficacious
than a niece stoppage of business. It is meet creditable to
the Parsee merchants and shopkeepers that not one of them
las consented to join in this movement. Use good citizens,
the Parsee., however strongly opposed they may have been
to the passing of the Income-tax Bill, are willing to obey
the laws of the land. and will cheerfully pay their allotted
share of the expenses of the state." It is satisfactory to
learn that the cloth merchants have since become sensible
of their folly, and re-opened their ships.

The proposed amalgamation of the royal and
Indian armies seems now to excite very little in-
terest among the offieers of the local force. Some
of them persist still in declaring thatanialgamation
will destroy the empire ; "but, on the whole,"
says the Gazette, "there is not much discontent,
the prevalent feeling apparently being that it is
better to have the matter settled one way or the
other, than to remain in disheartening suspense."
The Bombay Times says "We regret to
learn that a famine is impending in the North-
West Provinces. The people are declared to be
grinding mango stones for food, and bartering
their children to save them from starvation. A
seasonable fall of rain may yet, we hope, avert
a calamity terrible amongst all people, but pe-
culiarly so in futile, where, from the want of means
of communication, relief is all but impossible.
The danger speaks trumpet-tongued to us to push
forward our railways, and to cover the country with
a network of roads and canals."

The sudden death of Sir Henry Ward was a
subject of universal regret. The Gazette remarks
that the event is not favourable to the res.
toration of a healthy tone of feeling in
Madras. "Hid loss is deeply felt by all who
know the critical situation of government at
the present moment. His antecedents were full
of 'promise, and in Ceylon especially he won the
respect and good opinion of all his subjects. He
was known to all as a firm and vigorous ruler, and
his name in these times would have been to us a
tower of strength."
The following is a telegram announcing the death
of Sir Henry Ward
"MAMAS. Auova? 3, 1.37 P.M.
_

"Sir Henry George Ward, Governor of Madras,
died of cholera last night (Thursday, August 2),
and his remains will be buried this evening in St.
Mary's Church, Fort St. George.
"The Hon. W. A. Morehead succeeds provision-
ally to the governorship."
