.LITERATURE.

whose feelings have been roused to the highest
pitch of exasperation ; and the exhortations of his
friends did little to calm the fury that possessed
him." His interview with Victor Emmanuel was
a stormy one. It was stated that his remarks were
anything but respectful towards the French Em-
peror. He advised the King to reject the terms of
peace, to withdraw his army from Lombardy, and
even to abdicate. Indeed, it is said, and commonly
believed, that his rage went so far as to induce him
to nse words which led to his dismissal from Victor
Emmanuel's presence, His resignation immediately
followed, but he was still indefatigable in his
country's service. The author says—
Although the resignation of Count Cavour had thrown
the Government of Sardinia into the somewhat less firm
grasla of Rattazzi and La Marmora, the mover of the poli-
tical machinery was still the great Italian who had been
.
forced by the unexpected peace to retire into private life.
At his country seat of Leri, Count Cavour, though
apparently occupied in the management of his own and his
brother's estates, had as much to do as when his mind was
officially engrossed with public affairs. From that spot,
which stands in the vicinity of Tivorno, close to the railway
between Turin and Novara, Cavour pulled the strings and
letters
sent I t was as
prompted the parts of those who were acting on the dffferent
stages of Central Italy, the drama of their country's resur-
rection.

o
that he received or answered daily the telegraphic messages
to him
or Min ghetti. Cavour had no secretary to help him ; his
surprising activity and energy sufficed for all he had to do.
From his boyhood he had learnt the habit of working hard.
Fond of farming, he got up at three o'clock in the morning,
and thus found time both for duty and relaxation. Ina
few hours he would despatch his letters and communicate
with his lieutenants (for such, to a certain extent, were-the
rulers of Central Italy), after which he would receive his
numerous guests and attend to the business of his estates.
Sir James Hudson—a man who has done more for the wel-
fare of my country than any other foreign friend of Italy—
was amongst the most assiduous visitors of Cavour. Cora-
mendatore Nigra, Castelli, and a few others, were almost
daily guests at the Count's country seat. If the able and
patriotic men who directed the helm of public affairs in
Central Italy have deserved well of their country, I believe
they wore partly indebted to the statesman who, in his re-
tirement, was constantly watching and guiding the course
of events. Not that I mean to disregard the great fact
that the accomplishment of Italian independence in those
quarters has been the result both of the wisdom of the
people of Centel Italy themselves, and of the ability of their
immediate rulers. There is no doubt, however, that Cavour
was the very soul of that orderly and determined movement
which has secured the desired end, and that it was mainly
he who thwarted the intrigues of foreign potentates and
diplomatists, such as the missions of Prince Ponialowsky
and M. de Reziet—two active agents of Louis Napoleon.
Even the recommendation to carry out with the utmost
energy the armaments of the Central Provinces, and to
appoint Garibaldi commander of the Central Italian army,
was partly his.

Italy under Victor Emmanuel. By Count Charles
Arrivabene. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett.
Althoagh the public, through the medium of
newspaper correspondents, have been fully in-
formed of the principal features in the late Italian
campaigns, a consecutive narrative by one so well
qualified for the task as Count Arrivabene is, never-
theless, extremely acceptable. Belonging to a
noble Lombard family, but exiled on account of his
political principles, in 1848, he has become na-
turalised in this country, has attained perfect
mastery over the language, and thoroughly appre-
ciates the value of our institutions. At the com-
mencement of the Lombard campaign he joined
the French and Italian forces as correspondent to
the Daily ..Arews, and afterwards accompanied, in
the same capacity, the expedition of Garibaldi in
its progress through Sicily and Calabria, being taken
prisoner by the Neapolitans, before Capua, and nar-
rowly escaping with his life. Moreover, his intimacy
with Cavour, Garibaldi, and other of the Italian
leaders, gave him peculiar facilities for obtaining
accurate information respecting both political and
military events, and his narrative may be con-
sidered in every respect trustworthy. Excellent
plans are also given of the principal battles, and
every care has been taken to render the work as
complete as possible, and intelligible to the
general reader. In he
.l.ntroductory chapter
Count Arrivabene gives a slight sketch
of the events which immediately preceded
hostilities, and honestly states his conviction—a con-
viction commonly shared by those who had personal
knowledge of the relative position and strength of
Austria and the Italian States,--that external aid
was absolutely essential to enable the latter to gain
their independence. No one saw this more clearly
than Cavour, and to procure this aid he was forced,
however unwillingly, to sacrifice Savoy and Nice;
and to exchange Austrian influence in the Italian
peninsula for that of France The indignation ex-
pressed by Garibaldi at this dismemberment of the
kingdom is well known. Indeed he differed with
Cavour from the outset, and it seems to have been
entirely owing to the mediation of Victor Em-
manuel that they acted in unison. But in estimating
his hostility to the French we must bear in mind
that it is impossible for him to forget that they, by
taking Rome, were the primary cause of the mis-
fortunes of his gallant band in their desperate
attempt, after leaving that city, to evade the Aus-
trians and succour Venice, from the fatigues of
which journey ho lost his wife Anita. That he
could act in harmony with the French was therefore
hardly to be expected, and he was accordingly
given the command of the Cacciatori della Alpi, and
despatched on a service forwhieh he was peculiarly
fitted, that of spreading the insurrection through
the Lombard villages. In this he succeeded per-
fectly, outmanoeuvring the Austrian generals, and
preparing the inhabitants of those districts to
welcome the Piedmontese rule. Nevertheless the
real work of the campaign was accomplished at
Magenta and Solferino. Those were the battles
which destroyed the Austrian prestige in the Penin-
sula, and rendered the union of the Duchies with
Piedmont possible. At the same time it is impos-
sible to praise the heroism of the Sardinian army,
the gallantry of Victor Emmanuel too highly. Thus
" It was in this second action (the attempt of the
Austrians to retake Palestro) that Cialdini's divi-
sion, led by Victor Emmanuel himself, performed
prodigies of valour. The third regiment of Zouaves,
under the command of Colonel Chabron, was
attached to this Sardinian Division, and had a great
share in the victory of this 31st of May; for the
Zouaves captured part of the enemy's artillery,
jumping over the muzzles of the guns. At one time,
the King of Sardinia himself took the lead in the
attacking columns, and threw himself into the very
thick of the action. Several of the officers of his
staff were wounded, and General La Marmora, who
was galloping at his Majesty's side, had his horse
shot under him. The heroism of Victor Emmanuel
on that day was so great that the 3d Regiment of
Zouaves came to the unanimous determination to
elect him their Corporal—an honour similar to that
which, after the battle of Montenotte, had been
bestowed upon General Bonaparte by the 73d demi-
brigade of the Republican army." With such an
example, no wonder the Sardinians fought well,
and their behaviour offers a marked contrast to
that of the troops and officers of the King of Naples,
as observed by Count Arrivabane, when unlucky
enough to be taken prisoner by them. His account
is so characteristic that we give it in full.
Whilst I was looking at that fratricidal fight, I was sud-
denly roused by a loud shout, followed by a volley of mus-
ketry. The sharp whistle of balls, and the flash of hun-
dreds of muskets, left no doubt that a party of Neapolitans
were coming up the hill behind. Instantly perceiving my
danger, I moved from the place; but the next moment I
was surrounded by the enemy's riflemen, who, as I men-
tioned in the preceding chapter, had turned Mount Tifata
since the morning. There was nothing to be done—l was
a prisoner without hope of escape. But it seemed as if the
Neapolitans preferred to have nic dead ; for, although I was
walking towards them, they kept firing at me, and a bullet
slightly wounded my left leg. I fell, and the men came
up, surrounded me, and took my money, my watch, and
Fart of my clothes. My watch was positively appropriated
by the officer in command, though it was afterwards restored
by the express orders of the Xing. One man struck me on
the head ; another gave me so heavy a blow on the shoulder
that, although it was a bright day, I appeared to see all the
stars in the heavens. Had not one of the officers come up,
they would certainly have murdered me. I was a Garibal-
dian, they said, and they wanted to revenge the imaginary
assassinations of their comrades.
The captain having ordered me to follow the column, I
was obliged to do so, though I could scarcely walk. I
begged him to send me to Capua at once, but he would not.
" I am ordered to go up the hill," he said, "and I cannot
detach any of my men ; besides, were I to abandon you, my
soldiers would assuredly kfll you. Follow me as well as
you can."

The second volume of the Count's work is devoted
to'the campaign of Garibaldi in the South—Pa cam-
paign undertaken in direct opposition both to
Cavour and Victor Emmanuel. " A practical man,
as Cavour was, could not have great faith in the
result of an expedition which everybody thought at
the time to be mere madness. He knew besides—
and subsequent events have proved that be was not
altogether mistaken—that even on the supposition
of success, the annexation of the Neapolitan pro-
vinces would rather weaken than strengthen the
newly enlarged Kingdom of Sardinia. ' Let us
organise ourselves—let us have a strong army at
our command—and then we can turn our eyes to-

wards Venetia and the South, and Rome will fol-
low,' was the opinion that Cavour constantly
expressed when he was required to speak upon the
subject of Italian liberty." The marvellous success
which crowned Garibaldi's efforts is now matter of
history. The account reads like one of the Romances
of Chivalry. With an expedition of 1,000 men, he,
in the course of one hundred and twenty-two days,
conquered a kingdom. Although Count Arrivabene
did not accompany the expedition when it first
sailed, he joined it soon after it reached its destina-
tion, and has furnished a description of it complete
in all its details, and of extreme interest. His re-
marks, too, on the characteristics of Southern
Italian life are curious and entertaining ; whilst
his views respecting his country's destiny are hope-
ful without being extravagant. Iris work will, we
doubt not, conduce greatly to a right understanding
in England of Italian affairs, as well as excite such
sympathy for her cause as to materally aid her
future career.

THE SCOTTISH AUSTRALIAN INVEST.
MENT COMPAIV Y.

The report of the directors to the meeting to be
held on the Ist of August states that the profit
realised by the company's operations in the colony
during the half-year ending Dec. 31 last is larger
than that of the previous half-year, although trade
has continued dull, and there has been no demand
for real property, and but a comparatively limited
degree of activity prevailing in any branch of busi-
ness. The gross profit realised in the colony during
the above period is £11,964 7s. 6d., to which must
be added the sum of £B6l 13s. ld. received in Lon-
don for interest, transfer fees, &c., making a gross
profit for the six months of £12,826 Os. 7d, A
comparison of the accounts with those issued in the
last report shows that the increase in the colonial
profits of the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1861, over
those of the preceding six months amounts to £1,031
1 ls. The whole of such profit has been derived
from the ordinary sources of the company's revenue
—viz., rents, interest, and commissions, and nothing
from the disposal of property. The directors pro-
pose a dividend, payable on Thursday, the 14th day
of August next, on the ordinary stock of the com-
pany, £200,000, at the rate of 10 per cent. per
annum, less income-tax, which will require £lO,OOO
and leave at the credit of the reserved fund £8,293
16s. 4d. In the last report your directors stated
that a large tract of high table lands, admirably
adapted for depasturing cattle and sheep, had been
then recently discovered in the interior of the colony
of Queensland, and that leases of these lands—now
called "The Landsborough Runs," and consisting o
768,000 acres of fine well-watered pastoral landf
(capable of carrying flocks to the extent of at least
240,000 sheep), and 205,440 acres of an inferior
description—had been acquired from the government
on very moderate and satisfactory terms ; further,
that the manager, with the well-considered object
of securing to this company a first-class pastoral
establishment, had obtained for them an interest of
one-half of such leases—the discoverer of the runs
retaining an interest of one-fourth, and the re-
maining fourth being divided in equal parts by the
two gentlemen who have become the general super-
intendent of the establishment and the manager
permanently resident on the runs. The directors
now inform the proprietary that a good road has
been discovered, and followed out by the resident
manager, from this fine district of country to Port
Denison ; that the cattle, with which it had been
resolved to stock the runs to a certain extent in the
first instance, will be placed on them well within
the time stipulated by the Queensland Land Re-
gulations; and that the manager, owing to a favour-
able road from the locality where the company's
pastoral establishment will be situated to the port
of shipment having been so readily discovered, and
the advancing settlement of the pastoral districts of
Queensland, promoted as it is by a liberal and in-
creasing supply of labour, anticipates even a more
early stocking of the Landsborough runs with sheep
than he had previously expected would be found
desirable or practicable. The discovery of the road,most
as the manager observes, " stamps this investment
with, so to speak, an assured value that is
satisfactory." The resident manager arrived at
Sydney from the runs about two months ago, and
reported that ho left them looking well, with an
abundant supply of grass and water. He started on
his return almost immediately, Personally to super-
intendnumber of cattle to
the conduct of a large
the runs. The footing thus gained in
part of this rising colony seems the northern
to show that the
company may expect soon to be able advantageously
to extend their operations in that quarter. The

I shall always remember the pain I suffered during those
four long hours. About 20 Garibaldians had also been
taken prisoners by the sharpshooters into whose hands I hadn
fallen. They, like myself, had been forced to exchange
part of their cicthes for the coat and cap of the Neapolitans,
and, thus dressed, we were ordered to march at the front of
the sharpshooters. "You will thus have a chance of being
killed by your own comrades," said a rabid Sicilian eing
sergeant
to me, when I remarked that such was not the manner in
which prisoners ought to be treated.
The marching column we were preceding by a fewyards wag
constantly fighting with Garibaldi's Bersaglieri ; men fell
er
dead around us, and the scene was ono of the most distress-
ing that can be imagined. The Neapolitans, however
as men who were more earnest to
proceeded very carefully,
spare their lives than to perform their duty. Instead of
-
heading them, the officers kept in the rear, perpetually
shouting out " Avanti, avanti 1" but never setting the ex-
ample.Y It is not to be wondered at if the soldiers, instead
of obeying the order, scorned their officers and abused
them soundly, calling them cowards and worse. At about
half-past ten o'clock, one of the lieutenants of the party—
the only brave officer of the column—was struck by two
balls, and fell mortally wounded at my side. Be was a
fine young fellow of about one-and-twenty. I hastened
to assist him, and implored the captain to allow me to dress
his wounds with my handkerchief. The captain refused,
in spite of the entreaties of his wounded comrade, who
begged me not to abandon him. I offered to give my word
of honour that I would present myself at the Neapolitan
camp as soon as I had brought the poor fellow to Gari-
baldi's ambulance, which was near at hand. All was of no
avail. The wounded officer was hoisted on the shoulders
of two privates, who, ten minutes afterwards, threw him
into a ditch and left him.
Nothing could exceed the disappointment of the
Sardinians at the intelligence of the peace of Villa-
franca, and the demeanour of Cavour on the occasion
is graphically described. " About 12 o'clock next
morning Cavour and his secretary walked up again
to Casa Melchiori with Count Nigra, the steward
of the royal household, and General Della Rocca.
Cavour knew by that time that the great sacrifice
had been consummated. He was exceedingly ex-
cited : his face was scarlet ; and his manners, ordi-
narily simple and easy, were now marked by violent
gesticulations, showing that he had completely lost
his usual control over himself. General Della Rocca
and Count Nigra endeavoured to calm him ; but all
in vain. The Premier every now and then took
off his hat with the convulsive movement of a man

plementary capital to be employed by the company
in the colony, irrespective of the reserve fund. A
portion of these subsidiary funds recently raised has
been temporarily invested in colonial government de-
bentures to wait the maturity of the manager's drafts
drawn against it, and these securities command higher
prices than they cost the company. During the first
quarter of the present year there have been signs of
a returning demand for house property and land,
though the manager has not yet reported any very
decided change in any respect. The Lachlan Dig-
gings, however, were becoming increasingly pro-
ductive, and • b lying promise of much greater develop-
ment. The production of cotton also seems likely to I
supply the colony with a considerable accession of
population, and a new and important source of
industry.

This concert, which took place last night in
Exeter-hall, before au enormous audience, was in-
teresting for several reasons. First, there was a
new cantata, by the most popular of our composers,
the remainder of the programme being all of excel-
lent quality; then there was a first-rate band, to-
gether with a numerous and highly-efficient chorus ;
and, lastly, the execution of every piece, whether
vocal or instrumental, was admirable—the solo
singers, in addition to Mr. Sims Reeves, being
Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Miss Palmer, and
Mr. Santley, the solo players Mr. Charles Halle
and Signor Piatti. An ordinary entertainment,
under so eminent a name as that of the concert-
giver, would have been out of the question ; but
Mr. Reeves provided even more than was expected
in variety of attraction, and delighted his numerous
patrons with a selection of music which occupied
upwards of three hours and a half in performance,
and yet did not include a single composition of in-
ferior or questionable merit. Therband,
directed
with consummate ability by Mr. Balfe, gband, directave
Weber's overture to "Der Freischutz," Professor
Sterndale Bennett's overture called " The Naiads "
(which figured gracefully at the concert of our most
distinguished nativesinger), andtheWeddingMarch
of Mendelssohn. Mr. Halle played the " Andante
and Rondo Brillante" in B minor (with orchestral
accompaniments) of the last-mentioned composer,
besides one of the " Wanderstunden" of DZ. Stephen
Heller and a Valse by Chopin. The Rondo of Men-
delssohn—one of the first things he wrote during his
early visits to this country—is, its beauty and
originality considered, too rarely heard, and was
therefore all the more welcome. Signor Piatti's
choice fell upon the Sarabande and Gavotte of
John Sebastian Bach, with which he has so fre-
quently charmed the
_very musical audiences that
flock to the Monday Popular Concerts at St.
James's-hall, and which, to judge from its recep-
tion, was no less suited to the vast " mixed
assembly" gathered together within the less in-
viting walls of the Temple of Harmony in the
Strand. To dismiss at once the miscellaneous
vocal pieces—Mr. Stanley introduced Bell-
ringer " (W. V. Wallace) and "The Colleen Bawn"
(Benedict), In both of which he has earned laurels
repeatedly; Madame Lemmens Sherrington gave
Maid Marian's scene, " Hail happy morn," from
"Robin Hood" (Macfarren), and the variations on
"Ah ! vous diraije, mamen ?" inserted by the late
Adolphe Adam in his comic opera, " Le TauKador;"
Miss Palmer sang Mr. Chorley's ballad, " When I
was young," and Mr. Sims Reeves " My own, my
guiding star" (" Robin Hood"), both of which
were encored, the latter with an enthusiasm im-
possible to describe. Mr. Reeves—whose voice
was never in more splendid condition, and who
never seemed more determined to win distinction
for himself and afford pleasure to his hearers--
also gave " Gentle airs," one of the few familiar
numbers from Handel's " Athaliah " (Signor
Piatti playing the violoncello accompaniment),
and, with Mr. Santley, the duet "All's well,"
from Braham's opera of "The English Fleet"—the
promise of which once famous, now not altogether
undeservedly obsolete, piece of circumstantial decla-
mation kept the large majority of the audience in
their seats to the end of the concert, and, it is but
fair to add, satisfied them that they had waited to
good purpose.
A line or two about " Mazeppa"—Mr. Balfe's
new cantata—must at present suffice. The inci-
dents of the romantic story are well put together
by Miss Jessica Rankin, whose verse, moreover,
has the advantage of being unaffected and sensible.
Mr. Balfe has happily caught the spirit of the sub-
ject, and unquestionably added one more to his
many artistic successes. The dramatis personm are
four—the Count (Mr. Stanley), Theresa, his wife
(Madame Lemmens Sherrington), Nita, Theresa's
confident (Miss Palmer), and Mazeppa (Mr. Sims
Reeves). Choruses of pages and attendants, in the
first part, and of Cossacks,whenlllazeppa's involun-
tary ride approaches its termination, make up the
sum-total of the musical elements at the composer's
disposition. The choral portions of the work, if not
precisely the strongest, have the merit of being un-
exceptionally spirited and appropriate ; melodious
they always are (or they would not be Mr. Balfe's);
and in one or two instances—which, seeing that
the cantata is tolerably sure of a wide popularity,
we shall have opportunities enough of pointing out
--attain that point of characteristic beauty best de-
scribed as " the picturesque." With this, of course,
the orchestral accompaniments—in which Mr. Balfe
exhibits more than his usual ingenuity—have a good
deal to do. The solo airs are, for the greater part,
in the composer's most agreeable and engaging
style. Those allotted to the Count—" Oh, she was
fair," and " 0 thou dear one, in whom I trusted"—
are both good, the last, indeed, extremely beautiful..
Theresa's one song, "I dream'd I had a bower so
fair," in a more ornate and elaborate style, is
marked by a grace and fluency peculiar to Mr.
Balfe when he allows his pleasant muse to speak
without restraint. Nita takes part in a duet with
Theresa, and in a trio with Theresa and the Count
—the latter a pretty trifle, beginning in the man-
ner of a " round." The best music, however, natu-
rally enough, falls to the most conspicuous and by

queenlike
character.oniike g
r
ace—is founded on
melodies one of the most charming Mazeppa's first air
that ever came
from its author'sno
untiring
" Theresa, we

expressive ballad, conceived_ and accomplished is
pen ; the second—
that style Which,
takeably

the opening bars,

while the
third—" Once again to life awaking,"
of an incident 'a very
in the Ride"—preceded by
illustrative
impressive recitative, and mixed up at intervals with
chorus (the materials of which
bare already been
used in the orchestral prelude at the beginning of
the cantata), is perhaps the most genuine of all. In
addition to these, MazePP3 has a duet with Theresa
—" Ah ! why that face so full of care ?"—a favour-
able example of the composer's lightest and most
ad captandum way of writing. The execution of
the cantata, under the direction of Mr. Balfo him-
self—by orchestra, chorus, and principal singers—
was, for the first performance of a new and not over
easy work, in every sense remarkable. Piece after
piece was applauded with warmth and unanimity,
and so loud was the uproar after Mazeppa's first air
(" She walks in queenlike grace") that, while forced
to applaud Mr. Reeves for not wishing to interrupt
the continuous interest of the music by repeating

an isolated portion to the detriment of the context,
we think he might have yielded to the wishes of
the audience and sung it again. Mr. Santley, too,
was pressed with no less vehemence for a repetition
of the Count's second air (" 0 thou dear one"), but,
like Mr. Reeves, turned a deaf ear to the appeal.
All the solo music, indeed—including, of course,
that of Theresa and Nita (Madame Sherrington and

Miss Palmer)—was sung con amore, and if Mr.
Balfe was not content he must be very difficult to
please. At the end the composer was
greeted with
applause from every side.
On the whole the audience had every reason to
be well satisfied with the sumptuous musical treat
prepared
i 4
for them by x
r. Reeves, who, on first ap-
pearing n the orchestra, was honoured with suchan enthusiastic recognition as is only awardedll
