ITALY.

A communication from Turin of 20th, says :
" I revert to the mention already made of sending
into the Neapolitan provinces the Genoese carbi-
neers. That measure has been countermanded, and
for this reason : the Genoese carbineers, who are in
fact only soldiers forming a part of the moveable
national guard, were formerly organised by Gari-
baldi, when master of the two Sicilies. The assist-
ance of these volunteers having become unnecessary
in consequence of the annexation, they were incor-
porated into the national guard ; the minister thus
thought that in that quality they might be made
use of in the suppression of brigandage. But some
susceptibilities having been manifested abroad as
well as in Italy, relative to a measure which seemed
to be a contradiction to the decree of the fusion of the
Italian and Southern armies, the Government has re-
solved to suspend the displacement of those troops
until the proceeding had been placed under its real
aspect. Turning to other incidents, I have to state
that as the Ministers will each in their turn proceed
to Naples during the stay of his Majesty, there is at
this moment an increase of labour in each of the
ministries. One of the most overwhelmed with
work is that of Finance. M. Sella is indefatigable ;
it was feared that from his inexperience in financial
matters matters he might be incapable of fulfilling
the duties of the important post which M. B.atazzi
had confided to him, but those fears have entirely
disappeared. The experiments of cotton cultivation
in the Neapolitan provinces have given excellent
results. The sample produced is equal to the long-
stapled cotton of America. Europe will, moreover,
have an opportunity of judging in a few days, for
the Italian Minister of Agriculture and Commerce
has sent specimens of it to the Universal Exhibition
in London."

The Movimento of Genoa publishes the following
letter, addressed to the Palermitans :

" George Pallavicino, my bosom friend, is going
to Sicily as Governor of the island and I consider
this a favourable circumstance for that brave peo-
ple. In recommending the martyr of Spielberg, the

veteran of Italian liberty, to the city of the barri-
cades, I am but fulfilling an agreeable duty dictated
to me by my soul. Receive the affectionate greet-
ing of your friend until death,

" G. GARIBALDI."

AMERICA,

QUEENSTOWN, WEDNESDAY.
The Inman steamer Etna arrived this morning
from New York, with dates to the 12th inst.
In the Senate on the 9th the bill to increase the
efficiency of the medical department of the army
was taken up, amended, and passed. The bill to
abolish slavery in the district of Columbia came up
on its second reading, to which Mr. Vallandigham
objected. Tho question then recurred under the
rule, " Shall the bill be rejected ?" which was de-
cided in the negative, 45 against 93. The bill was
referred to the Committee of the Whole on the State
of the Union.

On the 10th, in the Senate, the resolutions of the
Massachusetts State Legislature, approving of the
joint resolution recommended by the President, in
favour of extending pecuniary aid to States de-
sirous of emancipating their slaves, were presented.
A resolution, that the Secretary of War report what
disposition has been made of the ♦essels captured
by General Burnside, was adopted. Notice was given
of a Bill amending the Fugitive Slave Law. The
consideration of the Bill confiscating rebel property
was then resumed. Mr. Willey, of Virginia, offered
an amendment, appropriating 5,000,000 dols. for the
colonisation of negroes made free by the bid. This
created a lively discussion, but no action was taken,
on the subject.
' In the House of Representatives, the amendments
appropriating 13,000,000 dols. for iron-clad steam
vessels of war, and 788,000 dols. for the completion
of the Stevens floating battery, were agreed to. A
resolution that, if the Senate concur, Congress will
adjourn sine die on the third Monday in May, was
adopted.
In the Senate, on the 11th, Mr. Wilson, of Mas-
sachusetts, introduced a bill amending the Fugitive
Slave Law. The bill removing all disabilities for
colour in carrying the mails, was passed by a vote
of 24 to 11. The debate on the bill confiscating
rebel property was then resumed. And in the
the bill abolishing slavery in the District of Colum-
bia was passed by a vote of 93 to 39. The bill has
now passed both Houses by a two-thirds vote.
The latest despatches from the south-west state
there is no doubt of the fact, that a complete vic-
tory has been gained by the Federals at Pittsburg
Landing. The Federal loss is estimated at 7,000,
including 2,000 taken prisoners by the enemy.
Reports come in that Corinth has been captured,
and that immense supplies of ammunition have been
seized. These reports, however, lack authoritative
confirmation. It is also stated that the Confede-
rates are broken, flying, and utterly dispirited;
but this, too, needs corroboration. The loss of the
Confederates is not ascertained, but the most that is
alleged now, is that "it must have been heavier
than ours." The latest despatch from Cairo, of the
11th, says that "the pursuit was kept up only a
little distance beyond the positions of our advance
previous to the battle."
The New York papers give a description of the
country in which the recent battle bas taken
place :

" Pittsburg Landing is situate on the west side of
the Tennessee river, nearly opposite to Savannah.
