into port yesterday. As our last communications from
Naples led us to expect, hostilities have ceased, and the
complete pacification of the whole island is probably ac-
complished by this time. The Sicilian insurrection, then,
is at an end. Admiral Baudin again accepted the media-
tion, and went in concert with Dur Ambassador to the
King of Naples at Gaeta. After the first interview, the
King consented that the military operations
should be suspended; on condi:ion, nevertheless, of an
implicit submission to the government of Palermo.
Colonel Nunsiante, aide de camp of Ferdinand, set cut
immediately for the head quarters of the Neapolitan
army. The Sicilian Government, on its part, already
disheartened by the captures of Catania, Syracuse, and
Augusta, sent delegates to General Filangieri, to treat
for terms of peace. The conferences were still
going on when the Independenza took her de-
parture, but the main question was consi-
dered to be decided. A provisional junta was as-
sembled at Palermo to maintain order until the Royal
authority should be completely re-established. Nearly
every member of the Sicilian Ministry, with its chief
Ruggiero Settimo, embarked in the English ship Belle-
rophon for Malta. Other personages compromised in
the Sicilian revolution, including General Miralaowski,
embarked in the Independenza, which has brought
them to Marseilles with more than 200 refugees."

ADDRESS TO GEORGE HUDSON,
ESQ., M.P., FROM THE ELECTORS OF SUN-
DERLAND.
Yesterday evening a deputation from the town of
Sunderland waited upon George Hudson, Esq., M.P. for
that Borough, at Newby Park, with an address expressive
of their confidence in the private and public character of
that distinguished individual. The deputation consisted
of John Scott. Esq., J.P., William Ord, Esq., J.P.,
Christopher Bramwell, Esq., the Chairman of Mr. Hud.
son's Election Committee, his mover and seconder, J. J.
Wright, Esq., one of the Deputy-Lieutenants of the
county, and Richard Show, Esq., J.P., and George
Spark, Esq., one of the largest and most influential ship-
owners of the port.
Mr. Bramwell, in an eloquent speech, presented the
following address:—
TO GEORGE HUDSON, ESQ., M.P.
" Sir,—We, the undersigned electors of the borough of
Sunderland, deprecating the unjust attacks and unmea-
sured abuse to which you have been recently exposed,
are anxious publicly to testify not only our unabated
confidence in you as one of the representatives of this
borough in Parliament, but the high estimation in which
we continue to hold your public and private character.
"We are fully persuaded that the aspersions which
have been so unsparingly cast upon your reputation, are
more to be ascribed to the disappointed feelings of too
sanguine speculators and the excitement consequent upon
the temporarily depressed state ot the important con-
cerns over which you preside, than to any just view of
the transactions developed in the recent investigation;
aspersions not borne out, in our opinitn, by the pub-
lished evidence, and totally irreconcileable with the prin-
ciples that have hitherto distinguished your public life.
" We see in that evidence no intention, on your part,
to do wrong; and in common with a large body ot our
fellow-countrymen, we are grateful to you for the ex-
tensive benefit you have conferred upon the nation by
the gigantic undertakings your untiring energies have
called into existence.
" In conclusion, we trust you will permit us to pre-
sent you with our best wishes that you may be long
spared to enjoy good health, enlarged prosperity, the
unshaken support of your constituents, and the general
respect of all the impartial and intelligent classes of the
British people.
" With sentiments of sincere esteem,
" We subscribe, ourselves, Sir,
" Your very faithful and obedient servants,
Joseph Simpson, Mayor. Henry A. Moon.
John Scott, J.P. Christopher M. Webster.
William Ord, J.P. George Thompson.
Philip Laing, J.P. Benjamin Parker.
Nathan Horn, J.P. John Kidson.
Richard Spurr, J.P. John Clay.
Henry Tanner, J.P. Thomas Brown.
James Hartley, J.P. J. W. Collingwood.
Anthony Ettricke, J.P. Joseph Young.
Joseph J. Wright, D.L. Robert Sarsfield.
Benjamin Kennicott, B.A. Wm. Reed Clanny, M.D.
Christopher Bramwell. Robert Leddell.
'l'. B. Ord. James Allison.
Thomas Wood. Geo. W. Hall.
Thos. Reed, Alderman.
And other Electors exceeding 800, being a majority of
the constituency of the Borough.
" Sunderland, 17th April, 1849."
Mr. HUDSON, after a very able address, handed the
deputation the following reply:—
" Gentlemen,—l receive the address signed individually
by so influential a majority of the electors of the borough
of Sunderland, headed by your respected Mayor, and so
large a number of the magistrates, with feelings of
heartfelt satisfaction. Amidst the unjust aspersions
that have been directed against my character, to know
that I still possess the unshaken confidence, and the
kind feelings of my constituents, imparts a consolation
to my mind for which I never can be sufficiently grateful.
" You do me only justice when you express your
conviction that I hare never been actuated in any
conduct I have pursued in the matters to which
you refer, by any intention to do wrong ;
for, on the contrary, I have ever had in
view the general advancement of the great con-
cerns confided to my care. The serious depression
of the times have no doubt caused grievous disappoint-
ment to those connected with them, and to none more
than myself. A sense of rectitude, however, sustains
me, and when the excitement has passed away, I fear not
the calm judgment and the indulgent consideration of an
intelligent and right-judging British community.
" Permit me, in conclusion, to assure you that I
fervently hope always to prove myself worthy of this
generous mark of your favour and kindness.
" I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, with senti-
ments of unfeigned regard, your ever faithful and obe-
dient servant, " GEORGE HUDSON."
