The Malta Times publishes the following letter
from its correspondent at Messina, dated the 31st
ult. :—" I have to tell you that on two nights back
more troops came pouring in, about 5,000 or 6,000
from Melazzo, with three field-pieces, and 2,000
men from Catania, under the command of Colonel
Heber, the limes' correspondent. General Bixio
and Garibaldi's son are also expected to-day from
Catania with 3,000 men more. They left Catania
for this on the night of the 29th. Garibaldi has
lost no time since he came here. By Sunday morn-
ing he had already made a battery of eight guns at
the Faro Point, which is to be increased to 30 guns.
Early in the morning of the 27th, Fabrizi came
into Messina alone, the royal troops having aban-
doned the town during that night, taking good
care, as usual, to open the prison doors to 250 cut-
throats and housebreakers, about 60 of whom
have already been seized, but the rest have made
for the country. At 9.30 a.m. Fabrizi's men came
in, and shortly after Medici and his column—alto-
gether, during the day, it is said that 4,500 arrived
in Messina. The Italian heroes are well pleased
with the reception given to them by the Messinese,
who, however, were not well prepared for such an
unexpected entry. Notwithstanding which, in a
very short time, a number of shops were opened,
and as the Italians came in they were received
with immense applause; many persons were to be
seen handing refreshments to the men ; others with
jugs and water, cigars, rice, hot bread jest baked
for them, and showing other attentions for which
the Messinese are noted. All the safes have orders
not to charge for anything that the troops may
take, and it is the same with the cigar-shops.
Preparations were ordered to be made for the
reception of Garibaldi, who was to come in on the
28th; but he popped into town in a hackney-
coach, at a quarter to three the day before, just as
all the people were taking dinner. He was, how-
ever, discovered as he was going down San Leone.
His carriage was immediately surrounded, and,
though he protested against it, the horses were
taken out, and high and low were pulling away,
crying, ' Viva Garibaldi !' Viva 'ltalia !'—the
crowd increased every instant, everyone leaving
his maccaroni to welcome his deliverer. At last
his carriage stopped at the house where the in-
tendente used to live. He got out, and managed
to step into the house ; but he made the people
shout for some five minutes before he showed
himself in the balcony; the applause was im-
mense, besides clapping of hands. One hour after
his arrival he was in a carriage again and off
Ito the Faro. As he expressed this wish as soon
as he arrived, a carriage was sent forward to
state that Garibaldi was coming on that road
within an hour, on which bouquets were
made in no time, so that when he passed he was
well received. On his return from the Faro, all the
country-houses were illuminated, and as he passed
along large bonfires with straw and hay were made,
which gave a tremendous glare. The town was
illuminated, and tricoloured flags without end hung
from the balconies. The people in town were dis.
appointed, however ; for Garibaldi, when entering

the town, got out of the carriage, and running up
some dirty lanes, managed to escape the cheering
prepared for him by the anxiously awaiting crowd,
who saw nothing but the empty carriage. This
morning early he was out, and it is not known where
he is gone. The citadel will have about 5,000 men
left in it. The two forts on the hill are to be dis-
armed. The Royal troops cannot pass Terranova,
but some of the officers are seen about our streets
and in the cafes fraternizing with the Italians. A
good many deserters come over; they walk about in
the Neapolitan uniform with a wide-awake and
tricoloured handkerchief, and the likeness of Gari-
baldi tied about their Becks."

A correspondent at Naples writes, on the 4th :
"Appeals to arms have been publicly posted up in
this. city. Last night a placard was to be seen
demanding annexation to Piedmont, and to-morrow
perhaps the abdication of the King will be called
for; for in the way in which things are now going
on, Francis 11. has not much chance of remaining
long on his throne. Great agitation prevails in
Calabria, and cries in favour of Garibaldi are
publicly raised. What, however, is certain is,
that but for foreign agitators the kingdom of
the Two Sicilies would never have witnessed
sedition against its King. The revolutionists
are in movement here, and the subject of gene-
ral remark is, that the clubs of the Via Toledo
and of some of the neighbouring streets display
the greatest activity. The Camerrists of the Ad-
vocate Minister of Police appear to second the
enemies of the King in their conspiracies. I
shall not be at all. surprised to see Garibaldi at
Naples in a week or ten days. In spite of every
solicitation, and the distribution of cigars, the army
still remains faithful."

Another letter from Naples, of the same date,
says :—" Three days ago the fete of the Queen
mother came on, and there was a remarkable de-
monstration of a negative character. Not an illu-
mination was to be seen anywhere in:the whole town
—not even at the posts of the National Guard. It
was said that the troops would compel the people to
illuminate by force, but they prudently abstained
from doing anything of the kind. If they had
attempted it, bands of lazzaroni would have gone
about the town to break any window at which a
light might be seen. To cause the importance
of the demonstration to be understood, two
things must be mentioned—the first is that at
Naples, the people, either from fear or habit, never
forget to illuminate on Royal fetes; and the
second, and though abstaining from illuminating
for the Queen Dowager, the whole city has re-
cently been twice brilliantly lighted up—once to
celebrate the establishment of the National Guard,
and the second time on the anniversary of Gari-
baldi's birthday ; nobles, citizens, and the poor all
illuminated—even the Royalists themselves did so
from fear."

A third letter from the same city says :—" Fear
reigns in the two camps. The country dreads
reaction, and the reactionary party hesitates in
presence of the attitude of the country, and is
alarmed at the very populace which was for li
-
merly its instrument. In the eyes of the people
Garibaldi has dethroned St. Januarius and
St. Anthony, and they say at every mo-
ment, ' We have still a month's hunger to endure,
but when Garibaldi shall have arrived flour will
cost three sous the pound This idea makes the
people revolutionary, and gives them a force which
occasions terror to the reactionary party, whose
headquarters are at Gaeta. The Court spares no
pains to excite the zeal of the populace and of the
inferior class of citizens in its favour ; it gives
money liberally, makes unbounded promises, and
spreads the strangest insinuations and rumours.
The Cardinal Archbishop has formed a committee
under pretence of preparing for the elections, and
Canon San Severino is one of its most active agents.
One of its secretaries, a certain Soarano, hawks about
the mot d'ordre in the 20 parishes of the city. The
King relies more and more on the army. The other
night he led it himself to Bagnuoli, at about a mile and
a half from Naples, where it was said a disembarka-
tion was expected, and his Majesty remained with it
to the morning. But the disembarkation was a pre-
text. In Calabria 16,000 men are to be concentrated,
and intrenched camps are to be formed at Leggio,
Monteleone, and Paoli. Troops were sent off yes-
terday and the day before. A telegraphic despatch
from Reggio says that a great movement was seen
at Messina on the opposite coast. General Clary
has arrived here in obedience to orders of the Minis-
ters, and has seen the King. It is believed that he
has recommended the evacuation of the citadel of
Messina,which he holds; but it is more Wobable that
he has come to give precise details respecting the
operations. of Garibaldi. The latter is now almost
master of the Straits, he having established a battery
of rifled cannon at Torre de Faro, with which he
dominates the opposite coast of Calabria. At the
present moment he has 17,000 men concentrated at
Messina."

The following is a copy of a letter received yes•
terday from Captain Allen Young, of the FO2
steamer :

• "Thorshaven, Faroe Islands, August 3.

" Dear Sir,—As the mail probably leaves for home
to-morrow, I take the opportunity to report our.
progress. We have had a tedious passage with con-
trary winds all the way, but I hope our good luck
is to come, and we are all happy. I have almost all
our coals remaining, and am ready to start fair from
here. In making these islands we ran a line of
soundings from some ten miles off into the north
point of Naalsoe Island, a fine sandy bottom and
shells, with depth varying from 35 to 26 fathoms.
We anchored here to-day, and immediately com-
menced an examination of the locality. I find Thors-
haven perfectly adapted for the reception of a cable,
but as it would be liable to damage from anchors, I
have selected an excellent little bay called Sandy-
yerde. This bay lies three quarters of a mile south
of Thorshaven Harbour, and there a cable might be
landed and be in perfect repose on a sandy bottom
and sandy beach, and perfectly land locked. We
have also run soundings across Naalsoe fiord, and
the depth of water bottom and strength of stream are
such as will perfectly admit of a wire being carried
through it either by north or south into Sandyyerde
bay or Thorshaven. The violent currents here are
mere bugbears. I have narrowly watched both ebb
and flood, and now in the strongest spring tides I
cannot detect more than a three knot stream in
Naalsoe fiord. As M'Clintock has examined West-
manshaven, and in case that fiord might prove un-
favourable, I shall go to Heldervig, near the north-
west entrance to the fiord, dividing Stromoe and
Osteroe, and indeed this appears to me the best
point of departure from these islands. At any rate
we shall thus have two strings to our bow, that is
both Westmanshaven and Haldervig. Shaffner and
Rae cross the land to-morrow, and I pick them up
the other side, and having surveyed Haldervig I
shall depart at once for Iceland. I hope you will
pardon my writing you so short and hurried a
letter, but I am completely tired with the day's
work.--Believe me, dear sir, yours very truly,
(Signed) " ALLEN YOUNG.
