.PROCL 42113 TION B Y TILE TUSCAN

GOI7EIUf_VENT.

The following proclamation was issued by the
Tuscan Government on the day after the declara-
tion of the poll had made known the almost uni•
versal wish of the Tuscan people to become the
subjects of King Victer Emmanuel :--
"Tuscans !—Your vote is not only an act of your
immovable will, but it is another decree of Italian
nationality. Yo:-: ha:•e deserved well of your
country and of the King..

" iFtom the peace ofllafranea to the day of
the universal suffrage, you only measured your
dangers by your rights ; and you only looked hack
to your past glories to conquer a new glory, and
one that is wholly national.
" Amongst the snares and dOubts and distrust by
which you were beset you only looked to the star of
Italy, and did not lose your way.
" You have known how to exchange your mere
municipal existence for the new life, the new power,
the new greatness of Italy which you are consti-
tuting along with your sister provinces, in order
that with other nations Italy may enter coura-
geously on the great arena of civilisation.
"The new era of the Italian nation is inaugurated ;
for the recognition of its rights it will no longer
want the aid of your arms and your minds. The
past, with its griefs—the present, with its oppor-
tunity—is the sure guarantee of our future.
" You come forth, at length, from the prison of
the Appenin es ; your heart. breathes the air of inde-
pendence and of freedom from the Alps to the sea.
" Without lasing your traditions, you return to
1 the enjoyment of the ancient strength of a nation,
which was torn in pieces, and which you, together
with the brave dwellers at the foot of the Alps,
and the Lombards, are reconstituting beneath the
sceptre and the sword of a King whom God has
plasod at the head of redeemed Italy.
" Italians! in saluting you for the last time by
the ancient Tuscan name, your Government is the
first to offer:to you the image of its admiration.
It will always be proud of the part which it has
played in leading you on to the conquest of such
high destinim
" The generosity of your t ehemes, your firmness
in maintaining them, have won for you the love:of
all Italy, the sympathies of all Europe. In the
name of Italy and of the King your Government
thanks_ you with the deepest feelings of the heart.
" Florence, 16th March, 1860.

lum, under the direction of Mr. Field. The Chatr-o
man, after the usual loyal. and patriotic 'toasts
of " Her Majesty," " The Prince of Wales,"
and " The Prince Consort," had been given and
responded to with ITighland honours, rose and
observed that, though it was, perhaps, invi-
diowt to draw distinctions between the various
departments of the military service, or between the
bravery of different, ree:iments, yet, .while fortune
had enabled their countrvmen'to distinguish !hem-
selves, as they did so nooly in the battle of Alex-
andria, it was only just they should-remember their
services. Referring to the late oce[isions in, .th 6, ,
Crimea and India, when Highlanders had distin-
guished themselves, he believed that their services ,
and feats of prowess, great though they were, had
not yet .eclipsed the noble conduct oi the gallant
42d at Alexandria. The ascendancy of England in
the East depended on that battle. ITe hoped that
the treaty lately ratified between England and
France would tend to cement the two nations
in amity and in the bonds of 'a common interest;
yet, if it should be otherwise, he' felt certain that
they would prove themselves worthy of - those
who fell at Alexandria. He proposed " the.inemory
of Sir Jtalph Abercrombie and the heroes who
fell with ,him." The toast was 'drunk in silence.
The chairman remarked that, while paying a tri-
bute to the memory of the dead, they had with
them to-night two who had shared in the fight—
the Marquis of Westmeath and Captain Jay, R.N.
The Marquis of Westmeath rose to return thanks.
He referred to the improvements that had been in-
troduced into the service since the period tbathad
been referred to. He remembered how defectively
equipped the army at Alexandria was, even re-
quiring the service of the seamen to draw the guns
up the beach ; yet he never saw that noble infantry
under the necessity of forming square; to meet
a cavalry charge. Captain Machan next proposed
the " Health of the Chairman," referring to the for-
mation of the Scottish Volunteer Corps in LOndon.
He thought that it showed that Beotehmen were
not yet degenerate. He paid a high compliment to '
Lord Eleho for having led the van in this national ,
movement. Lord Elcho returned thanks. Other
toasts followed, and. the hilarity of the evening was
kept up until an ttaNaucmd hour.


STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, March 21.—There has been during
the last few days a tolerable amount of business
doing in the hosiery trade. Many manufacturers
are busy, and future prospects are encouraging. As
the weather becomes more genial the home trade
for useful articles will materially improvc. In the
country hosiery districts there is a full average
business doing. Yarns are without material
change, spinners continuing tolerably employed.
Wools are high in price, and there is no indication
of much abatement.
NOTTINGHAM, 21st.—There is fully as -much
business doing this week as last; there is rather
more passing in the cotton fancy trade. Other
branches are about the same as for some time past.
The unsettled state of matters on the Continent in-
fluences trade to a certain extent. There will be
more doing in the home trade in a few days if the
weather continues genial. The foreign demand is
dull. Manufacturers are keeping stocks down as
much as possible, and making only those fabrics
which are really wanted. In the hosiery trade
there is a fair business doing ; most branches are
in a healthy state ; the high price of yarns, how-
ever, still operates against the manufacturer's fair
profits.
