ITALY.

TURIN, THOISDAT.
Count Cavour died at seven o'clock this morn-
ing. I will not try to describe the grief of all these
people around me, for I share it in a measure, by
natural human sympathy, and also because to an
Englishman, who loves the laws and manners of his
own laud, the death of that foreign statesman, by
whom they were best comprehended and copied in
Europe, is the loss of a cherished image of what
Englishmen hold most dear. The great man,
the good man, who has just left this world, in
which he has done his work so well, is indeed
mourned by the Italians as the father of. his coun-
try, and by us, I think, he should be lamented as
the friend and the disciple of ours. I know not
where to find another such example, amidst the
feeble and fickle politics of the Continent ; I know
not whom to point to fur an equally conspicuous
exhibition of those qualities which make the
constitutional Minister of State, or for an equally
consistent adherence to the principles of civil
liberty ; but I know that he was accustomed to
profess them as having learnt them in the English
school. It is with a sad pleasure that I now tran-
It% a Pri T.llcAntaatihia quire Ash
a twelvemonth ago, these frank expressions of his
sentiments with regard to us :
" I am always very grateful," he said, " for any
token of sympathy granted me by the citizens of
that great nation fur which I feel the sincerest ad-
miration. By taking the institutions of free Eng-
land as her model, this northern portion of Italy
has been enabled to introduce the guarantees of
constitutional government, and to find therein such;
a point d'appui as was necessary for the develop-
ment of our national life. 1 trust that the Italians
will never be deprived of the generous and effica-
cious aid of the people of Great Britain, and I re-;
joice in everything which contributes to strengthen
the mutual bonds of sympathy and affection
between these two nations."

Cavour, in these few sentences, records the motive,
the object, and procedure of his whole public life.
Hie ruling idea was always thir—to create. in little
Piedmont a little England, with a view practically
to educate its people by the active enjoyment and
habitual exercise of freedom, till they should grow
bold and strong enough to deliver the rest of Italy,
and afterwards unite the other provinces to these,
by the attraction of a prosperous example. This
was the task to which he set himself when first he
began to write and speak ; and this is what he has,
actually done ; for the structure of Italian unity is
now morally complete, in tendency and purpose
though not quite in outward form ; and Piedmont
was made the corner-stone by him.

I cannot pretend to estimate the probable conse-
quences of Lis loss ; I only know that many of the
most experienced and thoughtful Italians I have
talked with to-day mingle some very serious appre-,
hensions for the future with their immediate grief.
Let us hope, and let them resolve, as I am sure they
will, that the same wisdom, courage, and persever-
ance which have been hitherto shown in the train-
ing up of this nation, and in the building up of this'
kingdom, may continue still predominant, to make
it all perfect and sure ; let us promise the Italians,'
in this sore trial of their faith and virtue, that the'
encouragement at least of English sympathy shall
not be denied, and that the name of their departed
statesman shall never plead with us in vain.
The King went to see him about tea o'clock last `
evening, accompanied by the Prince de Carignano,
but I sin told that Cavour was then unable to re-
cognise the royal master to whom, as the repre-
sentative of the Italian nation, he Lad rendered
such magnificent service, having quadrupled or
quintupled the dominions and population reigned
over by the House of Savoy. Till within au hour
or two, however, previous to that visit, Cavour's
mind had, except at certain intervals, remained
quite clear : his judgment and memory were un-
impaired. On Monday he had a private inter-
view of two or three hours with Parini, and yester-
day he conversed with Torelli for some time. Nigra
has also been with Lim a great deal during this
illness. His own family, consisting of the Marquis
Gustavo di Cavour, his elder brother, with a son
and daughter of the marquis (she is the Countess
Alfieri), have been constantly at Lis bedside. I, hear
that Fri Tommaso, one of the Capuchin monks,
was sent for yesterday morning by Cavour's
desire, and pronounced the usual absolution ;
the sacrament was administered last evening at
seven o'clock. It is commonly said that Cavour
spoke to those around Lim of the scandal occa-
sioned eleven years ago by the refusal of priestly
offices at the interment of Santa Rosa, and that he
desired, for the quiet and good order of Italy, to
prevent any such deplorable occurrence in his own
case.

The following proclamation has been posted on
the walls :

MT OF TURIN.

Fellow-citisens,—The Muoicipai Council have to make an
announcement which will cause you immense pain, for it is
that of a national misfortune.

Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, President of the Council
of Ministers, has ceased to live.

This is a day of consternation and of mourning for
every one who desires and loves the liberty and the glory
of our common country. But do not allow yourselves to
be overcome by doubts or discouragement. Constancy and
firmness under misfortunes are the virtues of a strong and
generous people ; and you have already given splendid
proofs of them on former occasions.
Divine Providence having shown so abundantly by the
past events its purpose to preserve our nation for a glorious
future, will not permit that great work to remain unaccom-
plished which has been initiated by our illustrious fellow-
citizen whose lou we deplore.
Fellow-cations, let us have faith in the destinies of Italy.
This is signed by the Syndic, Count Cossilla,
and by the Secretary, Fava. The shops have been
shut since noon, and the city thinks of nothing but
its irreparable loss, as well it way. Next Sunday, I
believe, mourning will be very generally worn at
the churches and in the streets.
