ITALY.

Intelligence from Naples, of the 14th, has been
received. It was said that the Sicilian affair was in
a fair ss ay of adjustment, at least so far as the consent
of the King went, on the basis of a separate
Parliament and a_ separate Administration—the
offensive article of a separate ~.arLny being
recommended, but not insisted on. Doubts -were
entertained, however, of a ready assent being given
at Palermo; and a hint is given that the allied
squadron will have to menace a blockade of that port
before the Provisional Government gives in. Perfect
tranquillity prevailed at Naples; but the success of
the Austrian army at Vienna had quelled any dispo-
sition to revolt, if any such existed. The Chamber
was to be opened by commission at Naples on the 24-h.
The Piedniontese Gazette, of the 18th instant, an-
nounces under date Bologna, 14th, that the column
of Italian mountaineers, commanded by General
Garibaldi, had arrived at Pianoza, and that after
sleeping in that locality, it had taken the road to
Romagna, proceeding towards the Adriatic. On the
13th the General reached Faenzale, and 400 volun-
teers, who were to join him at Faenza, passed through
Florence on the 14th.

The Sicilian Consul at Leghorn received his exe-
quatur from the Tuscan Government on the 14th inst.
The Genoa Gazette, of the 17th inst., states that
the Piedmontese Government had placed sixteen
pieces of artillery at the disposal of the Minister of
War of Tuscany.
The Concordia of Turin, of the 18th inst., pub-
lishes the following letter from Milan, of the 16th :-
66 A Municipal Deputation having waited upon Mar-
shal Radestzky, to protest against his decree, imposing
a forced contribution on the city, the latter replied,
' I want money for the maintenance of my troops.
You know it well, gentlemen. Grant me a subsidy
for ono month, and I will withdraw my decree.' Che
Deputies then retired, leaving their protest in the
hands of Radestzky. Last evening about sixty men
and n omen of the lower orders of the people, paid no
doubt by the police, collected before the Villa BA-
giosa, and loudly vociferated ' Marshal Radetzky is cur
father. He was right to make those rich traitors con-
tribute.' Radetzky, having appeared at the balcony.
thanked them by a sign of the hand without addressing
them a single word." ,

I RE L
COURT OF AND'
QUEEN'S BENCH.
DUBLIN, Nov. 22.—This being the day appointed by
the Court to hear the argument
,in the case of " W. S.
O'Brien in Error V. the Queen the entrances to the
court were crowded from an early hour. Several of the
metropolitan police were stationed at the door, and no
person was admitted without the Sheriff's written order.
The galleries were crowded to inconvenience by re-
spectably-attired ladies, and the counsel benches were
filled with barristers, who evinced the utmost anxiety
throughout the proceedings. Shortly after ten o'clock
Mr. W. S. O'Brien was placed at the side bar, in the
custody of the gaoler of Richmond Penitentiary. Mr.
O'Brien appeared in excellent spirits, but from length-
ened confinement looked rather paler than usual.
Throughout the argument he took copious notes of the
proceedings.
At half-past ten o'clock the Chief Justice and Messrs.
Justice Crampton, Moore, and Perrin, took their seats,
when the case was proceeded with.
Mr. FRANCIS A. FITZGERALD here addressed the
Court and said he appeared upon behalf of Mr. W. S.
O'Brien. Ile proceeded to argue the different points in
the order in which they appeared in the assignments,
and trusted that he would succeed in satisfying the
Court that the points relied upon by Mr. S. O'Brien's
Counsel were correct and legal. Mr. Fitzgerald then
proceeded to argue at great length upon the different
points of error assigned, and in the course of his speech
adverted to several Acts of Parliament passed in Eng-
land, which, in his opinion, referred to the present
question. The Learned Gentleman then entered into
the law of treason and the various Acts passed applic-
able to Irelard.
Mr. D. LYNCH replied on the part of the Crown.
The CHIEF JUSTICE observed that the case had been
very ably argued by the Counsel on both sides.
The further hearing of the case was then adjourned
at four o'clock, and Mr. O'Brien was removed to Rich
mond Bridewell in the prison vale escorted by a troop
of the 17th Lancers and horse police.
