TURIN, APRIL 18.
General Bixio has returned from Paris, and has
visited both Count Cavour and Garibaldi. Gari-
baldi should listen to the advice of Bixio and
Medici, whose tried valour and fidelity be knows
so well, rather than to that of some other friends
of his who enjoy a higher reputation as intriguers
than as warriors, and are suspected of desiring re-
volution in the hope of something turning up for
themselves. If he had only listened to these generals
and to another as distinguished and sagacious—l
mean Cosenz—he would have had no need to say
and to unsay, and to set up ministries once a week
in Sicily and Naples, and we should not have suf-
fered the lamentable schism which has shown itself
just now. However, the Mazzini faction has seen fit
to do its utmost to discredit his beet generals ; and
only a few days ago the Unita Italia,w, Mazzini's
especial organ, denounced them to Garibaldi as sold
and traitors! This party is playing—it cannot be
too often repeated—the game of those it declares
its enemies. It professes to be hostile to Napoleonic
influence in Italy, but by endeavouring to lessen by
every mewls in its power the strength of the regular
army and the moral influence of the government,
it places one more obstacle in the way of Italy, and
pro tante renders French support necessary to her.
It is a question of existence with us. Victor Em-
manuel and Count Cavour would be only too
happy to do without French aid, but these
men, and those who play the same game,
are acting, intentionally or ignorantly, in
the very way to make that aid indispensable.
Count Ottaviano Vimercati, who returned the
other day from Paris, has just left again for that
city with despatches for the French government.
At a little before two o'clock this afternoon Geri-
Ibaldi came to the Chamber. The crowd that bad
assembled outside the building gave him an ova-
Ition. He was accompanied by two deputies of the
left, both men of extreme opinions. He looked a
picturesque figureenough in his red tunic with& grey
cloak worn loosely over it. He took the oaths, and
then set himself to listen most attentively to the
speeches. Baron Ricasoli put some sensible and
conciliatory interpellations to the Minister of War,
which the latter answered at great length. Then
Garibaldi spoke, but one of his unfortunate and in-
considerate remarks, accusing the ministryof having
opposed the volunteers and driven the country into
civil war, raised an indescribable tumult and tre-
mendous cries of " Order !" Count Cavour rose and
said—" I protest loudly against this accusation."
The ministers and deputies rose from their seats,
and the president put on his hat. When the debate
was resumed, the president, who was reproached
for not having prevented the speaker's wandering
from his subject into such unendurable imputations,
reproved General Garibaldi for the expressions he
had used, whereupon Garibaldi expressed his re-
gret for having used them. General Bixio
spoke next, making a touching appeal
in behalf of concord : he begged Garibaldi
and Cavour to forget what had passed, seeing
that they had both served their country immensely,
and that love for their country demanded that
there should be agreement between them. Im-
mense applause followed these words. Count Cavour
proved by facts that he had been the first to sum-
mon Garibaldi and entrust the volunteers to him.
He even went so far as to use language one would
scarcely have expected from him in his eager desire
for conciliation. Garibaldi was evidently moved,
but he had bad counsellors near him. For all
that, though, he thanked Count Cavour for
what he did for him in 1858, but he in-
fused a tone of reproach even into his
thanks, although his manner was respectful and
courteous. Count Cavour set forth the facts in a
style so clear, and the facts themselves were so
indisputable, that Garibaldi himself could not help
seeing his mistake. Even one of the most rabid
members of the left, Signor Crispi, felt it necessary
to express his approval of west General Bixio had
said, and thus the sitting ended, quietly, if not
amicably, leaving some hopes of ultimate recon-
ciliation, unless Garibaldi's mischievous advisers
succeed once more in warping his simple and noble
mind to their own perverse purposes. We have
never had so striking and dramatic a sitting in our
Chamber. We shall not soon forget it ; and should
the loog-desired concord between the chief actors
ensue from it, we shall have cause to bless as well
as to remember it.

THE ITALIAN P,

A Turin correspondent of the Prase, who ap-
pears to be a member of the Italian parliament,
gives some particulars respecting the most remark-
able members of that body :
Only one deputy appears in the chamber with a nightcap
es, and he is my excellent friend M. Hemline. M. Crispi
has the most thundering voice in the chamber ; when he
rises to speak, anyone would think he was going to draw •
brace of revolvers from his pocket. I have heard M.
Mingbetti, the minister, tell him that he (the Minister) was
really afraid of him. M. Mirabelli, • judge in the disguise
of an advocate, is all smiles as he leans forward to speak.
His very nose blushes with satisfaction. He never speaks
except to approve of what the ministers have said or done.
The most imperturbable spa ch-reader is my neighbour, M.
Turati. The president remarks that what M. Tur•ti de-
mands has been already decided, but M. Turati quietly con-
tinues ; he is assailed by questions and exclamations, but
nevertheless he reads on ; a glass of sugar and water is
set before him, but M. Tonal declines to drink, and still
holds en his course. M. Turati would read even if the
place was on fire, and if his only audience was
the benches, the inkstands, and M. Poerio. Of
all the honourable members of the right, M. Proto is the
one who listens with meet apparent rapture to the speeches
of Count Cavour. Count Cavour is the most logical orator
in the parliament ; M. Boucompagni is the most inter-
minable ; M. Ferrari, the most paradoxical ; M. crOndes
Regio, the moat doctrinaire ; M. Brofferw, the most lively;
M. Massari, the most courteous, the most verbose, and often
the most unmeaning ; M. Chieves, the least lawyerlike of
lawyers ; M. de Bleeds, the most tedious ; M. Mingbetti,
the most elegant in the Italian style ; the most inaccurate,
most aggressive, and fullest of facts, is H. Means., my
neighbour.

The Emperor Napoleon hex just completed his
53rd year, having been born on the 20th April, 1808.

A Malaga journal announces that the police has
just "discovered in that town an association of protestants
formed for the promulgation of their faith, and that nine
persons connected with it had been arrested."

It is stated in some of the German journals that
the late King of Prussia has left the manuscript of an im-
portant work entitled "History of the Evangelical Church
sad of its Developments," and that Professor Richter is
charged to publish it.

A letter from St. Petersburg states that the
Emperor is about to proceed to lifoseow, accompanied by
the Empress and the Hereditiu7 Grand Duke. This journey
will enable the Czar to fudge from personal observation of
the good impression produced in the country by the abolition
of serfdom.

NNW SOUTH Watia.—The quantity of gold
delivered by the escorts from the gold fields of this colony
during the month of January boa been 36,949 ounces. For
the corresponding month of 1860 the receipts amounted to
20,639 ounces. There is therefore an increase of 16,390
ounces, or nearly 80 per cent. on the mouth.—Aegratian
