ITALY.

Signori Rudini and Vigliani, the two new Italian
Ministers, have taken oaths on their appointment. It is
thought doubtful whether the Cabinet which has been thus
modified will last long. Some believe that the meeting of
the Chambers will e signal for a Ministerial crash,
but others think the Government may last a long time.
The Menabrean Cabinet contrived to exist in spite of
parliamentary opposition, and so it is argued may its suc-
cessor. The Lobbia trial is looked upon as a sad blunder
undertaken in the vain hope of revenge.

(From the Anglo American Times.)

The President of America has said that on the
morning of the panic Secretary Bcutwell communicated
the state of affairs when he said, "Sell $5,000,000 of
gold." The Secretary replied he had come for the pur-
pose of advising the sale of $3,000,000, and immediately
after the order was dispatched for the sale of $4,000,000,
the difference, we presume, being split. This information
was extracted from the President by the Washington agent
of the Associated Press, who, in fact, "interviewed" him.
No story is too gross or improbable for the New York
Gold Room, and charges had been made against the Ad-
ministration of being mixed up in the Fisk clique. The
President freely discussed the subject, telling the agent
the simple facts.

Mr. Fisk has come out in a new character, and
brought on himself another charge. Mr. Corbin, brother-
in-law of the President, when "interviewed," as we last
week reported, stated that he did not associate with such
men as Fisk. Immediately on learning this, Fisk wrote
to the New York Sun, asserting "that Mr. Corbin has con-
stantly associated with me; that I have been in his house
repeatedly since last summer ; that I visited him on the
very afternoon of the day on which he made these state-
ments ; and that he spent more than an hour with me in
the Erie Railway office on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept.
25, the day after the gold panic. It is, further, proper for
me to say that Mr. Corbin has been a party in interest with
us, and others whose names it is not now necessary to men-
tion, in the recent gold speculation, and that be has con-
stantly communicated with me respecting this gold specu-
lation. In fact, Mr. Corbin was in this speculation long
before I was." Indeed, Mr. Fisk was admitted into the ring
by him, as it was he who originated the grand scheme, Fisk
disclaiming the honour in his favour of having devised what
he calls this bold and brilliant operation. Mr. Corbin's
assurances of bringing powerful influences to bear were
carried out till the 23d Sept. In support of his assertions,
Fisk furnishes affidavits showing the intense excitement
and anxiety displayed by Mr. Corbin at the Erio office
during the Gold panic in Wall-street on the Friday.
Another gentleman asserts that he was waiting outside Mr.
Corbin's house for Mr. Fisk when the Sun reporter was re-
fused admittance. C. W. Pollard swears that ho had been
f requently the bearer of messages between Fisk and Corbin ;
that on the Friday ho saw the latter in great excitement,
when ho said he feared he would lose a great deal of
money. On the next day Fisk sent him in his carriage to
bring Corbin to the office. Mr. Corbin said, on greeting
him :—" How does Mr. Fisk bear his losses ?" and added,
"It is terrible for us." He then asked Pollard to bring Mr.
Fisk up to his house immediately, as he was indisposed,
and did not feel able to go down to his (Fisk's) ofli o. A
second visit was made by Lim on Monday, when Mr. Cor-
bin told him ho and his wife had just returned front Wash-
ington, travelling two nights, and that he was too ill to go
to the office, and urged him to bring Mr. Gould or Mr.
Fisk to him. A reporter called on Mr. Corbin on the sth
inst., and found him very ill. "I know the object of your
visit," he said, slowly and with effort. " I cannot now
give you a detailed statement, but this I will say, I never
in my life conversed with James Fisk, jun., upon tho sub-
ject of finance, nor have I ever, either verbally or in writ-
ing, requested through him or by one in his interest the
purchase or sale of one dollar of gold or stock. At the
time when one of his mon alleges in the affidavit that I
was at the Erie building, I was in New Jersey. Nor of
my own knowledge do I know that the President or any

of the Cabinet officers ever conversed or communka
with any of the so-called Gold Clique. On the contrail
I believe that it is a sheer and wicked fabrication fr°lll
beginning to end. Fisk's carriage has never been befog
my door to my knowledge, and the words put into 1111'i
by the reporter of the Sun are also base and wicked falSe'
hoods."

But Mr. Fisk, about whom we fear our reader°
are growing weary (though we must discuss him, for thel
cannot otherwise understand the new phase), was ',inter'
viewed" by another New York paper, the reporter bong,
anxious to ascertain his motive for exposing his alleged °°°,,
federates—" Because they went back onus, ho said,and 0'1;
near ruining us. They would have ruined us bad we 11°,,
been smarter than chain- lightning, and managed to itihr;

the cards for fifteen millions, and should have
that had they let us alone that day. But the crash r,
before I had made nine millions even. Now, you are stu."o
prised that I should be willing to expose the other 1131%11
engaged in this transaction." Reporters are iu full °D
after Mr. Corbin's proceedings, tracing his oPeraihnig
through his brokers and bankers, and if he stands t'bf
ordeal and trial in the action brought against I`,.i,ra,a to
Gould, we will have no hesitation in pronouncing w"--
be innocent, and the other party vile slanderers. the
However mildly the subject was treated I/ dif,
President, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher took a veriur
ferent view. He was clearly opposed to the undue 1010
ing up of treasures upon earth, taking as his text enst
Sunday following the " Gold Gamble," the words oe
subject in the Sermon on the Mount. The preacher
served that the nearer a man lived to hell, if he is gthil
the better he is. There are some in Wall-street, but
the
do not walk in platoons. The treasures alluded to wOO
text are not those run after in Wall-street. Valet' 1054

addressed his sermon to the same point, and he 811°:-0
