SYMPATHY OF ENGLAND We.
TO ITALY.
ARMS FOR THE ROMAN GUARDS !

Several wc€l:s back we inserted in our columns
the suggestion of an illustrious correspondent, that
the population of this fre:-_,, 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. Even in 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 ?
How, therefore, can some appropriate token of
sympathy be transmitted from this Ultima 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—Ness AR
AUTHORISED TO RECEIVE SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR TH
PURCHASE OF ARMS POR THE SOLDIERS OF ROME!
Whatever sums are transmitted for this purpose to
cur office of publication, will be duly chronicled vi
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 tir
coldest of the reforming Princes of Italy :

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 Ahd-el-
Kader, as hexing 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 baying
been backed for three or four hundred pounds, at 14 to
I, Glendower at similar odds in hundreds, Fern for a
couple of hundreds, at 25 to 1, end Besbercugh 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 :

" Seed is grass, and grass is hay,
We're her. 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 of
society.

It is with pleasure we announce the fact that Mr..
Hawes has been returned for Kinsale. The Government
have, for Parliamentary purposes, recavered a useful
colleague, and the Roue 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 so
take charge of that important portion of the Administis-
tion. The vagaries of the constituency of Lambeth wit ti
regard to their late Member do them little honour,
an i
affect him with no discredit. Any constituency might?
have been proud to be represented by a man a the middles
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 mean 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
CORRESPONDENT.)—This once popular actor has finaßY
retired from the stage of life, he died on Friday, the 3d
ultimo, and was buried at Nunhead Cemetery, on Thurs-
day last. Sam Vale was born on the 3d of Octobe
1797, he was consequently only in the 51st year of In's
age. Sam's social qualities made hint "give up th,
ghost," when he should have been living in the prime o f
life—he was always a merry fellow, and his company was
courted by many who can't forget his.singing. " Tiddy

voice, and yet full of fun. Nov that poor Sam is gone,
