SICILY AND NAPLES.

The latest accounts from Palermo state that the
mediation of Great Britain and France for the ad•
just►nent of the differences between Sicily and Naples
not having proved successful, the armistice would
cease on the 19th instant, when the belligerent par
ties would be at liberty to commence hostilities. The
intention of the King of Naples was to blockade the
Bay of Palermo, and the adjacent places, about the
beginning of April, but it will be seen from the
following extract from a private letter to a merchan
in town, that the Sicilians do not intend to wait 01
they are attacked :

" Palermo, 27th March, 1849.
" You have no idea of the indignation that exists on
this infamous decree of the King Bombe,' and the at-
tempt to entrap the Sicilians. The two Admirals, and
also the two Ministers (English and French, who have
returned to Naples) have had the best oppontunity of
witnessing the deep-rooted odium that exists even at the
name of a Bourbon, and the enthusiasm that animates two
millions of people. The negotiations have terminated most
honourably to the Sicilians, and hostilities will commence
the day after to-morrow at Messina, and all along
the frontier line, whilst King Bombe' is dreaming of
blockading Sicily in the beginning of April,' when not a
single Neapolitan soldier will be left in the island! You
would be surprised to see the Duchess of Montelone, and
hundreds of other females, of the first families, working
atpeople,
the trenches, mingled with the common and
with the Deputies and Peers of both Houses of Parlia-
ment.

"It is a spectacle for all Europe, such as has never
been witnessed in the world before. The Sicilians have
a very large organised army, say about 35,000, in Paler-
mo only, and a considerable portion of the National
Guards are already on the move. The four war steamers
aro hourly expected from Malta, armed and manned by
English officers and seamen, and will commence a nice
little Sicilian navy, to astonish in prowess the brutal ea.-
King Ferdinand Bombs.'
" At Catania there are 10,000 well •disciplined troops,
commanded by the celebrated Polish general, Miria-
slowski, and about 1,000 cavalry and mounted Nationals!
besides a numerous park of artillery, in every way well-
equipped. The end will be, that after the Neapolitans
are destroyed, the Sicilian army will cross over to Cala-
bria, and march to Naples, to demand the millions he has
robbed us of for the last thirty-three years. It is cur-
rently reported that the English Admiral has orders to
salute the Sicilian flag (as soon as the Sicilians aro victo-
rious), and to recognise the Sicilian independence—we
shall see."—Manchester Examiner and Times.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO GRIMSBY DOCKS.—Great
preparations are being made by the various official au-
thorities for the reception of his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, on the occasion of his visit to Grimsby on the
18th instant, to lay the foundation stone of the stu-
pendous docks about being formed at that port. Diffe..
rent yacht clubs have received a notification of the
share they may take in the festivities to commemorate
the commencement of these important works. All the
pomp and circumstance of war, says a correspondent,
will be peacefully employed. Bands of music, artillery,
the local militia and district soldiery, will be in attend.
ance, and the counties of Lincoln, Derby, Nottingham,
and York may look forward to a highly interesting and
festive ceremony on this first occasion of his Royal
Highness visiting the eastern coast.
A Goon LANDLORD.—(PrOM a Correspondent.)—
You will please give insertion to tho following, as I
fancy it may be a public, as well as it is a private, good.
R. Tonson Rye, Esq , of Rye Court, with characteristic
benevolence and magnamity, has allowed his tenant-
farmers 50 per cent. off their September rent. I need
not say how this boon was granted. Happy are the
tenantry amongst whom such a landlord resides, spend-
ingd his princely income in diffusing happy-less stab,
prosperity; and truly considerate and foreseeing is t _
landlord who is content to take from an industrinus andd
grateful people what they can give with equfity atnh,
justice. Would to God all would do like hiair n. ;
would be
so,
present tide of sorrow, suffering, and desp
stemmed successfully, and, I should hope, for ever.—
