went he was received by the authorities of the
Crown, and treated with almost kingly honours.
In Northern Italy and in Southern Italy, it was
alike, in this way, that GARIBALDI was welcomed

MURDER, OF A WEALTEIT FAMILY.—A wealthy
Russian family, consisting of five persons, disappeared from
the town of Laybach about 40 years ago, no.trace of them
being ever discovered. Suspicion fell upon an hotel ser-
vant as being the murderer of the family, as shortly after
their disappearance he purchased an hotel for the sum of
40,000 florins. Proofs being wanting, however, he was dis-
charged. The man and his wife having lately died, leaving
a large fortune, the heirs had caused the house to be re-

upon his return to those southern provinces of the
new Italian Kingdom, which had been the scene of

his most wonderful exploits, GARIBALDI was

feasted, more than once, side by side with the Royal

Princes, the sons of King VICTOR EMMANUEL.
And to what end ? To what end have been all
these signal attentions paid to General GARIBALDI
by the RATTAZZI Government II So far as the in-
sidious policy of that Administration can ba at all
comprehended—in order that the RATTAZZI Ca-
binet might, at the outset of its career, have vita-
lity and popularity of some sort attached to it by
its association, in as conspicuous as manner as
possible, with the Hero and Idol of the Italian
population ! And that after having played thus
with GARIBALDI'S fame most selfishly, until the
object indicated might be considered to have been
virtually realised—then to sacrifice GAIIIE/urn s
glory by compromising it ! So far as the RATTAZZI
policy can be at all understood, that is about the
meaning of it. And this is all the more easy of belief,
as the true interpretation, as the key with which
to unlock this Mystery—worse in its way than
the fabled box of Pandora, because when all the
evils now flawing from it have become
manifest, there can be left behind hardly
the ghost of any Hope whatever our in-
terpretation, we say, is all the more credible as
the right interpretation of RATTAZZI'S policy,
for these two sufficient reasons. Firstly
because by thus using GARIBALDI's pop-
airily as a platform to power, RATTAZZI thus
the most rapidly and effectually realised his own
selfish ambition—not that Italy might be Free, but
that RATTAZZI might be Prime Minister! And
secondly, because by sacrificing GARIBALDI after
thus meanly making use of the hero's popularity,
he RATTAZZI) might most obviously gratify the
wishes of his own patron the French Emperor.

INFANTICIDE IN PARIS.—Four days since a ser-
vant girl having been to consult a midwife, the latter dis-
covered she had been recently confined, and made inquiries
about the chid. As the woman denied the fact, and re-
fused give any explanations, the midwife sent for the
commissary t
iso
of police, and to him the woman confessed that
she was a servant in a family in the environs of Paris, and
had on the previous day given birth to a child, which she
m
buried in her master's garden, and then finished her work
and waited at table wi'hout any of the family being aware
that anything unusual had happened. As this story was
found to be true, and the child had evidently been born

alive, the woman was committed to take her trill for in-

fanticide.
THE COMET,—M. Petit, director of the Observa-
tory of Toulouse, has published the following particulars
respecting this new visitor :—" The nucleus, which is now
visible to the naked eye, resembles in size a star of the
fourth magnitude, and is rendered somewhat faint by the
coma, which on the 19th subtended an angle of four

minutes, corresponding to a real diameter of 25,000 leagues

and to a volume 400 times larger than that of the earth.
The tail is likewise perceptible, and will increase by the 3 is'
inst. to double its present size, whereby the comet will be

come rather a conspicuous object in the heavens. It is now
between the head of Ursa Minor and Draco, and therefore
not far from the Polar star, and is moving towards Scorpio,
where it will disappear towards the end of September. It
will be visible to the naked eye until abiut the middle of
nest month, but from the 31st inst. its brilliancy will ra-
_ _ _

pidlydecline while it traverses the constellations of Corona,
Serpens, and Ophiucus. Its maximum proximity to the
sun was 37,000,000 of leagues, and occurred on. the 22d
inst. On the 15th of September it will be at a distance of
40,000,0U0 of leagues from the sun. Its shortest distance
from the e ,rth will be 13,000,000 of leagues on the 31e t inst.,
and 36,000,000 of leagues on the 24th of September, when
its brilliancy will be reduced to one-fourth of what it is

bulletin :

At any rate here are the facts. RATTAZZI calls
GARIBALDI from Caprera to the mainland of the
peninsula, to encourage the formation of rifle corps
far and wide in the various provinces of the new
Italian kingdom. And scarcely has GARIBALDI,
With the visible encouragement, or at least with
the obvious connivance, of the Government, tra-
versed the northern provinces—when the Minis-
try abruptly undo their their own work by
vigorously putting down the popular movement
at Sarnico ! Again, but a very brief interval
elapses after GARIBALDI has been feasted in public,
side by side with the KING'S sons, the Royal
Princes, when the KING himself (at RATTAZZI'S
instance) has proclaimed GARIBALDI to be a rebel
while the Island of Sicily and the whole of the
Neapolitan Provinces are declared to be in a State
of Siege ! GARIBALDI'S honesty and consistency
through all this— are perfectly apparent, are wholly
undeniable. The least said in any case, upon any
possible supposition, about the honesty and con-
sistency of the RATTAZZI Ministry the better.
They have been playing, however, more or less un-
fairly, as the events prove with edged tools ! And
the sword of GARIBALDI, and the bayonets and
daggers of his red-shirted followers, are now turn-
ing out to be weapons not iz any way,with impunity,
to be trifled with ! True, that there is a great deal
of talk still about the loyalty of the Army (and we
may presume also of the Navy) of Italy to King
VICTOR EMMANUEL. And yet 20,000 of the royal
troops in Sicily failed to prevent GARIBALDI from
traversing the island from end to end, failed
to preclude him from entering Catania, failed
to seize him, dead or alive, when he
was in a manner trapped there, in Catania!
As to the maritime force of the Italian KING
and Government—it is now known that there were
not two, but three, Royal ships-of-war lying off
Catania when GARIBALDI quitted that place, and
coolly crossed over to Melito ? And when the
Commanders of those Royal ships-of-war—placed
under arrest by order of PERSANO—are sum-
marily brought before a court-martial, and tried
for not having prevented GARIBALDI'S escape from
Catania to Calabria, what is their answer in re-
gard to the charge ? -That they had endeavoured
to prevent GARIBALDI'S movement across the
Straits of Messina, but that their crews would not
obey their orders! So much for the loyalty of the
naval force at the command of the Italian Govern-
ment—when that loyalty is subjected to the test
of being directed against GARIBALDI! Nay, rumours
are just now rife that the whole Italii►n squadron
off the coast of Sicily had declared for GARIBALDI.
The Paris Presse asserting positively also that the
whole of the three Calabrias have in like manner
declared for GARIBALDI, and of course against the
Government. While these events are occurring
the Moniteur tells ns that the French fleet has
taken its departure from Toulon to hasten across to
Naples. La France intimating at the same time
that the British fleet in the Mediterranean has pro-
ceeded under orders towards the same destination.
As to the warlike doings of a preliminary kind by
land—the most notable statement afloat at the
moment, is to the effect that the imperial troops at
Chalons are about to be marched thence into the
Department of the Tar, there to be in readiness to
obey whatever orders may presently be flashed to
them by telegraph from Biarritz.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1862

N E

Colonel Acerbi has been acquitted.

w sit hibited by a ukase published in the official Gazette.
i The Czar must have been frightened by the recent
movements of Garibaldi, whose young soldiers
wear a bat similar to the one now condemned.
The decree is as follows :—" The employ es of all
departments have received orders from their chiefs
henceforward to wear ' cylindrical' hats; thus sepa•
rating themselves from the party of disorder, which
has lately forbidden men from wearing hats of the
shape used in civilised Europe ; and the use of any
other covering for the head, of any kind whatever,
will be regarded as participation in the demonstra-
tions forced or Warsaw by a band of malefactors."
But for the last words, "band of malefactors,"
the whole of this childish regulation would be be-
neath notice. To stamp as " malefactors"all the
people, for from one end of Poland to another the
same continued manifestations, the same hat having
been observed—it is rather cool on the part of the
Government to brand the entire nation with so
infamous an epithet. To call every one that wears
a round hat " a malefactor" is illogical and shame- 1
ful, as in such a case England, France, and civilise?
Enrope would come under the same denomination.
Such a conduct of the Russian Government excites
both here and abroad a thorough contempt, not to
speak of this novel tyranny to which the people
will have to submit. Be that as it may, I atmly
believe that the Poles will not give up the lofty
and dignified position they occupy of passive re-
sistance, combined with an unflinching duty to
preserve every mark of national independence.
The Post-office, which during the reign of
Nicholas and until now was absorbed in the Rus-
sian Administration in St. Petersburg, is to be
restored, and to form a separate department in
Warsaw. This apparent concession is insignia
cant, and doubtless has been volunteered in order
to cut off entirely the so-called Kingdom of Poland
from Lithuania and other ancient Polish provinces
belonging to Russia.

THE CIVIL WAR IN ITALY.

TURIN, AUG. 28.

The Official Gazette of this evening confirms the
despatch from Naples of yesterday evening, an-
nouncing conflicts between the Royal troops and
the Garibaldians, and adds that Garibaldi, in view
of the measures taken by the Government, has re-
nounced the project of entering Reggio, and has
marched towards the mountains.

PARIS, AUG. 28.

The Presse of this evening states, " under re-
serve," that the three Calabrias have declared in
favour of Garibaldi.

La France of this evening announces that the
English Ministry has ordered the British fleet to
proceed immediately to Naples.
The same journal also states that the commanders
of the two frigates stationed off Catania have been
brought before a court•martial. They established
for their justification that they had ordered the
vessel carrying Garibaldi to be stopped, but the
crews of the two frigates refused to execute the
orders.

The Patrie of this evening says :
" The French Government is said to have sent
very satisfactory explanations to Turin respecting
the despatch of the French feet to Naples, and
other circumstances which for the last few days
have strongly moved public opinion in Italy."
The Emperor received Said Pasha at 1 30 p.m.
to-day. His Highness will leave Paris this evening,
and remain two days in the Chateau de Belle Eau,
embarking on Sunday next for Constantinople.

CAPE OE GOOD HOPE.
PLYMOUTH, AUG. 29.

LORD BROUGHAM ON IHE AMERICAN
WAR AND ENGLISH DISTRESS.

The Cambrian, with the Cape mail, arrived here
this morning, having been delayed by N.E. winds.
She left the Cape on the 22d, St. Helena, 41st ult.;
Ascension, 4th, and Vigo, 26th inst.
She brings 71 passengers.

On Wednesday Lord Brougham distributed the
prizes given by Mr. Uteorge Moore, of London, to
the children belonging to the several schools in the
rural deanery of Wigton. The proceedings began
by a sermon in the parish church by the Bishop of
the diocese. There was afterwards lunch at the
King's Arms; and then the prizes were delivered
in a marquee before a very large company, not the
least interesting of the members of which were
Lady Havelock and her family. At luncheon Lord
Brougham proposed the toast of " The Queen and
Royal Family ;" and afterwards, when the chil-
dren had sung the National Anthem, his lordship
again alluded to the excellent qualities of her Ma-
jesty as a constitutional sovereign.
His LORDSHIP then said—l am informed that it
is expected I should address a few words to you
before we part, congratulating you upon the sight
which we have seen this day. To me it is a very
great satisfaction to see the progress which educa-
tion is making in this country, as testified to-
day by the examination of all these pupils.
There was a very great and a very wise king of
Sparta—and the wiser that it happened luckily for
him that by accident he was educated not like a
prince, bat like a private individual, with the rest
of his countrymen ; and when he was asked what
boys should be taught, he said, " Teach them what
will be of use to them when they are men." That
was his maxim. Now, our education here proceeds
exactly upon the same principle. The children are
taught what will be useful to them as men and wo-
men, and they are well taught it. It is a most
satisfactory feeling to think that these poor children,
by being well educated and well trained, are pre-
paring not only for taking their position in life—
the position of their parents in which they were
born—but by their own talents and industry and
virtuous conduct, they are trained for rising above
their station. (Applause.) A friend of mine, Mr.
Simpson, in the examination, more than once re-
ferred to the greatest man of our age—by far the
greatest captain, but amongst the greatest of our
statesmen too—l mean the late Duke of Welling-
ton. The Duke of Wellington, when discours-
ing on the nature of our Constitution, and compar-
ing it with those of other countries, frequently said
—I have heard him say it both in public and in pri
vate—that its great benefit was that a person of the
humblest station might, by his merits and his vir-
tue, raise himself to the highest station which a
subject eau ueoupy iu thin country. (AppiallSe.)
We live in times, happily for us peaceful times for
our country. It is not so in other countries. Across
the Atlantic horrible civil war prevails. Even in
Europe there are doubts and alarms—in the south
of Europe at this hour. Let us hope that those
alarms may be groundless. A great poet, has said
as to the duty and the office of England—her coarse
is, her desire is, by land and by sea, to
" Let barbarous discord cease,
And lull the earth in universal peace."
(Applause.) Unhappily he did live to see the day
when we are imploring people to put an end to their
civil war—their cruel, their unjust, their unneces-
sary and cruel civil war—when it should be reck-
oned a breach of neutrality in us to interfere with
that war. I have heard people of late thoughtlessly,
and I am quite sure unwisely, recommend that that
civil war should be put a stop to by us, by taking a
part so far as to recognise one of the contending
parties. But I believe that our recognition of the
South in that odious and horrible quarrel would
only make it worse. (Cheers.) It would continue
it instead of putting a stop to it. Absolute neu-
trality, non-intervention in every sense of the word,
is not only security for our own comfort and our
own peace, but it is the best possible contribution
we can make towards putting a stop to that odious
quarrel. I have said we have great reason to be
thankful for the peace we enjoy ; bat there is
very great distress in many parts of the country,
notwithstanding the blessings of peace dis-
tress such as it is frightful to think of;
not in this county, perhaps, so much as in
the neighbouring counties of Lancashire and

Yorkshire. Bat it must give the greatest satis fac •
tion to all observers, to all friends of their country
and of mankind, to see the admirable good con duci
of the people in their distress. (Applause.) Never
was anything so touching, never was anything so
affecting—(again his lordship became much affected)
—as the kindly manner, not only the prudent and
rational manner, but the kindly manner towards
their superiors which the humbler classes, the
working people, have shown throughout. (Ap-
plause.) They have even increased their own
activity to prevent their receiving parish relief
where it is possible; and by co-operative societies
and other means for husbanding their resources,
they have actively worked while they had the
strongest claim on the parish. I must also say
that their masters, the capitalists, have shown
the greatest forbearance and the greatest kind-
ness, as well as the men. It is the grossest mistake
to set the one body against the other—(applause)
—by proclaiming that the wealthy manufacturers,
the mitlowners, have not done their duty to their
men. They have made immense sacrifices for the
purpose of keeping their hands employed, they
have spent enormous sums, and they have done so
from kindness towards the men entirely and at
their own cost or charge. (Applause.) He is no
friend of the working classes, therefore, who would
in t.ny way, or for any consideration urge them or
set them against their superiors, as our Govern-
ment in this country depend upon the upper as
well as the working classes. It is a mixed Govern-
ment, with the Crown, the aristocracy, and the com-
mon people. It is this mixed Government which
has survived all shocks, and which is now the ad-
miration of some countries and the envy of others
—(cheers) - and which we have reason now more
than ever to praise exceedingly. I mean when
we
