SYMPATHY OF ENGLAND'
TO ITALY.
ARMS FOR THE ROMAN GUARDS !
Several weeks back we inserted in our columns
the suggestion of an illustrious correspondent, that
the population of this free country should testify in
some striking manner their sympathy in the struggle
of the brave Italians for the conquest of their indi-
vidual liberties, and the declaration of their na-
tionality. Since that proposal was published in The
Sun the progress made by the popular movement in
the Roman peninsula has been wonderful. Pied-
mont has acquired a representative constitution. Tus-
cany has acquired a representative constitution. The
Papal States have acquired a representative constitu-
tion. Evenin the kingdom of Naples there has been
an extraordinary advance towards liberality in con-
sequence of the determination of the Sicilians and the
patriotism of the people of Palermo. Lombardy
itself is already convulsed with the ambition of
liberty. At such a period, therefore, it does appear
but reasonable that the inhabitants of these islands
should evince their satisfaction at the glorious efforts
of the Italians. In the manifesto recently addressed
to Europe by Citizen Lamartine, it is declared that
the French Republic will arm for the protection of
the millions of Italy in the event of their being as-
sailed by the forces of absolutism. Shall England
at such a moment display no interest whatever in
the political emancipation of that immortal race ?
Ilow, therefore, can some appropriate token of
sympathy be transmitted from this U ltima Thule to
the centre of the Mediterranean ? We conceive that
the suggestion already mentioned is the most feasible
means of revealing our sentiments. Let us tender a
supply of arms to the National Guard of the Eternal
City; let Britons offer this mark
. of friendship to the
Romans—it will be an historical incident.
For the purpose of more readily carrying out
project of our illustrious correspondent—ws AR
AUTHORISED TO RECEIVE SUBSCRIPTIONS ?OR Tit
PURCHASE OF ARMS POR THE SOLDIERS OF ROME
Whatever sums are transmitted for this purpose tf-
our office of publication, will be duly chronicledin
The Sun, and as a fitting appendix to the present
notification, we insert the following verses, written
by another of our correspondents, in celebration of
the first Liberator of the Italians, and one of tha
boldest of the reforming Princes of Italy :
HOMMAGE A PIE IX.
CANTATE.
La liberte plane sur Mane,
Et dans ses mains s resplendi la Croix!
Peuples, debout. Ramper, bassesse impie I
Et l'arbitraire eat un blaspheme, (5 role
Au Vatican c'est le 111,61 qui sonne
Tocsin sublime! Ecoutez, Bcoutez
Soumettez vous, tyrans: Dieu vous pardonne.
Vivent, Romains, Pie et vos libertes!
La liberty plane sur
Et de Rodolphe a pkli l'heriteur!
La, mission ne sera point remplie,
Non, a t'il dit, dans son courroux shier.
Au bruit des pas de l'insolento armee,
Marchons, marcbons, ces ens, detoua cotes !
Des Melicis la villa eat toute armee.
Vivent, Toscans, Pie et vos libertcs!
La libertsi plane sur
Poutife arms seulement de la croix,
II ressussite a la gloire, au genie,
Son peuple entier, I la puissante voix
Jamais tableau s'offrit it plus sublime?
Plus de proserita, plus de perfecates.
Italiens, voila encor qu'on opprime,
Vivent bientOt Pie et vos libert‘s!

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YEsTERDAY.

The betting on the events of the current week turned
principally on the Leamington Steeplechase, for which
out of the number backed, we may select St. Leger,
Jerry, The Chandler, British Yeoman, and Abd-el-
Kader, as having been most generally in favour; Alex-
ander was not in request. Nothing of importance was
transacted on the Spring Handicap ; but the Derby
betting was conparatively brisk, Springy Jack having
been backed for three or four hundred pounds, at 14 to
1, Glendower at similar odds in hundreds, Fern for a
couple of hundreds, at 25 to 1, and Besborough for half
that sum at 40 to 1. A few outsiders were also backed,
and one of them, Deerstalker, rather in demand. The
general business was dull, and in several instances (we
may particularise the Steeplechase) it was difficult to
fix the prices .

It is with pleasure we announce the fact that Mr.
Hawes has been returned for Kinsale. The Government
have, for Parliamentary purposes, recovered a useful
colleague, and the Home an efficient Member. The
steady industry and aptitude for business displayed by
Mr. Hawes in his short career as Under-Colonial Secre-
tary rendered it a constant subject of regret that he
could no longer be present in his place in Parliament to
take charge of that important portion of the Administra-
tion. The vagaries of the constituency of Lambeth with
regard to their late Member do them little honour, and
affect him with no discredit. Any constituency might
have been proud to be represented by a man of the middle
classes, who, apart from ancestral considerations, and
without any wonderful brilliancy as a debater, by sheer
force of character, administrative capacity, and industry,
had won no moan place in the Government of his
country. Kinsale has repaired the mistake of Lambeth.
Mr. Hawes has at length been restored to that which
persons of the most opposite political opinions will agree
in thinking his proper place.— Times.
FUNERAL OF MR. SAMUEL VALE.—(FROM A
CORREIPONDRNT.)--This once popular actor has finally
retired from the stage of life, ho died on Friday, the 3d
ultimo, and was buried at Nunhead Cemetery, on Thera-
day last. Sam Vale was born on the 3d of October,
1797, he was consequently only in the 51st year of his
age. Sam's social qualities made him "give up the
ghost," when he should have been living in the prime of
life—he was always a merry fellow, and his company was
courted by many who can't forget his:einging. " Tiddy
Vally! Tiddy Vally!" there was a sweetness in his
voice, and yet full of fun. Now that poor Sam is gone,
" The good old days of Adam and Eve" will revive no
more. Although his family wished to hurry biro to the
grave unseen or unknown, yet his theatrical friends and
former associates attended him to the last. Messrs.
Dieldear, Fredericks, John Herbert, Saville, Dale, R. W.
Honner, B. S. Fairbrother, 11 Lean Smithers, Lloyd, and
numerous private friends brought up the rear of the
funeral cortege, and saw poor Sam laid in his last resting-
place. We must not forget John Hinkley, who was in
' the mourning coach. Hinkley has been a staunch and
' true friend to Sam—his home has been Sam's home, and
they were never happy except they were in each others
' company. Poor Sam Vale has died deeply regretted;
he was an enemy to no one but himself—his own words
that he so oft spoke upon the stage have been too truly
verified

" Seed is grass, and grass is hay,
We're here to-morrow, and gone to-day."
Under the sanction of her Gracious Majesty, a
night will be immediately given by Mr. Lumley, at her
Majesty's Theatre, for the benefit of the distressed
artisans of the metropolis. The thought of giving relief
to the real sufferers, whilst the refractory are repressed
by the hand of the law, has met with general concur-
rence and approbation, and the patrons of the under-
taking belong to the highest and most influential class 9f
, socitty.
