PARIS. THVILISDAY EVENLVG.

The twenty-four hours which have elapsed since
my last letter have produced scarcely any news
from Sicily. We are as much in the dark as ever,
both as to the conditions and the duration of the
armistice. The Pays, while repeating that the
"new phase" of diplomatic negotiations has been
entered into, and expressing the idle hope that " we
must wait until diplomacy has found a satisfactory
solution for all interests," says, by way of latest
news, that no new despatch has been received, and
that the situation " therefore " remains as it was
yesterday.
The Bourse was decidedly heavy. The recent
storms are reported to have done a great deal of
mischief to the young wheats, and a rise of 3fr.
at the corn market yesterday weighed upon the
funds more, perhaps, than the state of foreign
affairs. The Relate fell 10c. for cash and 20c. for
account, closing at 681 r. 40c. and 68fr. 50c. Mobilier
fell 10fr. ; and Credit Foncier, 2f r. 50c. The fall
in railways was slight—not more than lfr. or 2f r.
The prefects of the annexed provinces of Savoy
and Nioe have been chosen. M. Dieu, the prefect
of the Haut Saone, will be translated to Chambiry,
and M. Paulo d'lvry, brother of the colonel of the
Zouaves, of that name, who was killed at Marignan,
will be prefect of Nice.
The Journal do Havre announces, " under all
reserve," that, in pursuance of a report of M.
Thouvenel, the Emperor has adjourned the ratifica-
tion of the treaty made by Captain Russel with
the King of Abyssinia. This news will be con-
sidered highly important by all those who saw the
indication of hostility to England in the attempt of
France to obtain a footing in the Red Sea.

One of the funniest cases which ever occurred
under the imperial regulations of the press was
lately brought before the Imperial Court of Rennes.
A man in almost the lowest stratum of society, a
chiffunnier (rag gatherer), named Jean Berthon,
was prosecuted under the widely grasping law of
February 17, 1852, for circulating "false news."
It was proved that he had, in return for broken
victuals, prophesied that provisions would be dear
in the month of April, and cheap in the mouth of
July ; that the priests who once wore pointed and
afterwards square caps, would wear red ones in
1882 ; that in the same year the churches would
be shut up ; that the priests would be persecuted
and forced to hide themselves, and that there
would be a change of government. It will
probably astonish people whose ideas of the
imperial regime take their hue principally from
its terribly repressive character, to learn that a
prophet of evil such as the eltiffintnier of Rennes
has come unscathed out of a prosecution. If he
bad pretended to have read in the stars the events
which he foretold nothing would have been easier
than to have convicted him as a sorcerer. But as
he merely professed to found his prophecies upon
his own private judgment the law officers of the
crown could hit upon no other statute in which to
entangle him than that against false news. The
Reunes tribunal of correctional police, however,
held that " although his conduct was very repre-
hensible," a prediction of events to come could not
be classed under the head of " news," which ex ri
termini refers to events past and gone, and pro-
nounced an acquittal accordingly. This decision
was confirmed by the Rennes Court of Appeal.
The government means to carry the case to the
Court of Cessation.

ENROLMINT Pox Tax PAPAL APNY. —The foilow-
ing statement ispublished in the Cork Constitution of yester-
day :—"The enlistment for the Papal army is increasing very
much in this locality. On Tuesday evening no fewer than
350 persons were enrolled at the North Chapel, and it is
known that many more are about to offer themselves. The
enlistment in this country has gone on more successfully
than was expected, and more men have joined than accrue.
nrodation can be found for. A telegraphic despatch has, in
consequence, been received from England, directing the
agents in this country to stop recruiting for the present, as
there were no meats of transport, and the places of rendez-
vous in London were quite full."
MA-NNINO THY Have. —A return to the House of
Lords, issued this morning, gives the number of men actually
raised in pursuance of the recommendation of the commis-
sioners appointed to inquire into the best means of manning
the navy. The total recommended was 00,000, the number
actually raised 43,073. This does not include a proposed
addition of 1,000 marines and 6,000 royal naval volunteers

POOL —At the weekly meeting of the Mersey Dock }hard
yesterday, it was stated that owing to the vast importa-
tion of cotton into Liverpool, the warehouse epees of the
town was found insufficient., and uPwsrde of 20,0110 isles had

A VISIT TO GARIBALDI'S CAMP ON THE Ele:t
------

OP THE ENTRY INTO PALERMO.

A drive of half an hour more in a gentle descent,
with a lovely valley beneath, and beautiful mountsit
scenery in front, brought me to the town of Misilnieri,
wretched little place, altogether wanting in character. is
the little square held out on one side the committee, whidi
forms a kind of provisional government, and on the otha,
up some wooden steps fixed outside, was enthroned the
chief of the staff of Garibakh's expedition in primitivesim-
plicity. Colonel Sirtori was just giving a pass to two young
American officers from the United States' steamship Ire.
quois, without which no one was allowed to eater the camp.
A/ he had likewise given them an Aker as guide, I joined
them, and up we sauntered towards the heights leading to the
Gebel Rosso and the pass of the Metramia. We had sons
left behind us the few remaining houses and the mane
of the feudal castle to the left, the white limestone wall. of
which had something in them which reminded you of
skeleton. The ground all about is planted with olive trees,
vines, and different sorts of grain, which all grow luau.
Mindy in spite of the stony nature of the place. Th,
general had pitched his camp on • tolerably extensive pi,.
teau just above the ruins, looking down on one side toucan,
the plain and the range which ends at Cape Zaffanioa, whi:l
on the other the peaks of the Gebel Rosso and the pass
Messages were visible across a depression in the ground,
looking very much like an extinct crater, and now ler.
tiaßy filled with water, owing to the copious rains whkh
had fallen during the last few days. It was vile .4
those panoramas which suggests naturally your
pitching your tent there—that is, if you have one. The
word tent is erased from the military dictionary of (;sari.
baldi. However, • popular general has to yield at time, to
his soldiers, and so he could out prevent them (min
sticking into the ground four of the lances with
which the squadron who have no muskets :as
armed, and from throwing over them a blanket. Under
the tent you could see the guecho saddle arrairovi
as a pillow and the black sheepskin covering as • bed. As
for every one else there were the olive trees affordug
shade, plenty of stones for pillows and perhaps for ev..iv.
tenth man a cloak or blanket. All around were picketed
the horses, most of them entire, and behaving accordin;dy.
The general himself was not there when we arrived, he
had taken one of his morning strolls, hut in front .1 his
tent there were all his trusty followers—Colonel
Tiny, the Hungarian, although still suffering from the shat
in his arm, received in last year's campaign, yet always ready
where there is danger; Colonel Bixio, another trusty tollesd•
and well.known officer of the Cacciatori delle Alpi ;
nel Carini, the bravest of Sicilians, likewise an officer
that corps, besides a number of others, all brave like him.
among them Garibaldi's young son, with a shot wound
his wrist, received at Calate Fimi, and the sun of
Daniel Manin, wounded in the thigh. There was
the ex-priest Gurmarolo, • Romagnole, who has vowed the
moat enthusiastic worship to his hero:and follows him ilia
his shadow, providing for his comforts, and watching Le
person in the moment of danger. There was a small cluster
of guides, most of them of good Lombard families,
meant to serve on horseback, but now on foot, aid
the foremost in the battle. Not the least remars-
able among all these figures was the Sicilian neck,
Frate Pantaleone, jolly, like the picture of a musk
the middle ages, but full of fire and patriotism aid
as brave as any of the others. He had joined
the force at Salami, and did his best to enem.
rage and comfort them. Several among the leeks
men from Palermo and its vicinity were likewise pre.
sent among them, with several priests and monks, who
aro among the most sincere and energetic promoters .4
the movement. They were a strange sight, indeed, is
this by no means very catholic army ; but I assure yat
their behaviour has been such that the wildest among thee
youths honour and respect them, and in them their
order. Well, all this motley crowd, increased now by
the two young American naval men, and soon afor
joined by three British naval officers, was collerted round a
common nucleus—a smoking kettle with the larwr red 44
calf in it, and a liberal allowance of onions, a basket with
heaps of fresh bread, and a barrel containing Marsala.
Every one helped himself in the most communist manner
using fingers and knife' and drinking out of the eolith;

after my arrival Garibaldi made his appearance,
and received his foreign visitors with that charming, quiet

simplicity which chiracterises him, lending himself 'Mu

were naturally put to him. It was only aftor the departun
of his guests that the general resumed bu+inc.s.--Com-

THE ESCAPE PROM HULL OAOL.-RE•CAPTURB

OP THS CONVICT.

In the Express of Tuesday last were published
the particulars of the escape of a notorious offender, name(
Thomas Foster, from the Hull Borough Gaol. When In
escaped from prison, early on Sunday morning, he hal
scarcely any clothes on, as he left his convict garb and di
clogs behind him in his cell. Upon gaining liberty his
first object appears to have been to gain a place of seamy
where he could remain until darkness set in. This
he found in a shed somewhere near the town. Here he re-
mained until night, when he proceeded from the town,
travelling across the fields. On Monday lie again secreted
Dimwit in a shed, sod at nightfall came forth and resumed
his journey. Upon this occasion he appears to have lost his
way, and in the morning lie found himself within six miles
of Hull, while he had been under the impression that he wall
travelling in a westerly direction. The next thnt can he
ascertained of the prisoner's proceedings is on Wednesday,
when he presented himself at the Loftsum-bridge toll-bar,
which creases the river Ouse about four miles beyond HOW-
den. At that time he was droved as a labourer ; he had
two waistcoats on, a blue cloth coat, round felt hat, and
fustian trousers. He also carried • hag, in which he had a
quantity of ham and some cakes ; end as a larder at the
village of Everthorpe, near North Cave, had been entered,
it is supposed the prisoner is the depredator. Inftsum-
br:dge toll-bar is kept by a man named Fenton, who
was formerly • constable in the Hull police force.
In the course of an hour Superintendent Green sr.
rived from Howden, and he, along with Fenton, followed
the prisoner. He was ultimately overtaken, sitting nu a
gate two miles beyond the tell-bar, &Weems short distance
from Selby. He was at once captured and removed to
Howden police-station. Yesterday be was brought before
the stipendiary magistrate at the Hull police-court, and
remanded for a week in order that the Secretary of State
might be cemmunicated with.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY AT WINDSOR.--011 Wednes-
day morning last, about six o'clock, on impudent thief
walked into the Castle Hotel, Windsor, and proceeded up
the principal staircase to the bedroom of Sir John Thorold,
and stole from the dressing.table a gold watch and chain,
several valuable rings and pine, nine sovereign's, and some
silver, with which he got clear off. He was respectably
dreamed in black, end had dark moustachios and whiskers.
The barmaid, seeing the fellow cuter the ball of the hotel so
early in the morning, locked the bar door and followed hint
upstairs; but as ho had entered the bedroom, elm considered
be was one of the gentlemen who attended the races, and
had taken the apartments for the week. Sir John was
awake at the time, but thought it was his valet who had
entered the roam, and therefore the rogue iptietly left it,
and coolly following the ostler, who AA the tune was going
down stain, made his escape. Immediately after the dim
covert' of the robbery information was giveu to the borough
police, and telegraphed to the different stations and Scot-
land-yard. Hy some fortunate oversight the thief left on
tine table a diamond pin worth sixty guineas.
SUDDEN DEATH OF • CLERGYMAN WHILE
PREACHING. -It is our painful duty, says the
Standard, to record the death of the Rev. William Street-
feild, vicar of Rant Ham, which took place last Sunday
evening while in the performance of the duties of his sacred
office. It appears that the rev. gentleman was preaching
in the National School-room, which is used for divine ser-
vice on Sunday evenings, when he was seen to lean forwent
and atop in his address. The cause was apparent, and
assistance was promptly given, and Mr. Streatfold was re-
moved into the vestry-room, but before medical aid could
be obtained the vital spark had fled. The deceased had
been vicar of East Hain for a period of Ti year*, and till
recently was rand dean, which office is now discharged by
the vicar of West Ham, the Rev. A. J. Ram.
