THE ARMY•

The 2d battalion of the 19th Regiment arrived
in Portsmouth yesterday morning from the camp
at Aldershott.
Yesterday morning another large party of con-
valescent cavalry and infantry troops, who recently
arrived at Chatham garrison, from India, wounded
and disabled, left the invalid establishment, St.
Mary's Barracks, and proceeded to join their
respective depots. 94 non-commissioned officers
and men of various corps, who had been inspected
by a Board of Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital
and found unfit for further service, were also dis-
charged from the invalid depot at the same time
and forwarded to their respective homes ; each non-
commissioned officer and private having been
granted a pension according to his length of service.
Lieut. Cautley and a detachment of Royal En-
gineers are ordered to proceed from head-quarters,
Chatham, to the School of Musketry at Hythe, on
the 21st inst., to go through a course of rifle in-
struction at that establishment.

Capt. Phelips, Royal Artillery, 2 sergeants and
52 gunners, left head-quarters, Woolwich, yester-
day, for St. Helena.
The following changes were yesterday announced
in the Woolwich division of Royal Marines :—Capt.
Frazer, appointed to proceed on board her Majesty's
ship Mars for service, vice Webb, ordered to As-
cension ; Capt. Seymour, to her Majesty's ship St.
Jean d'Acre, vice Davies, returned to England, OR
recommendation for two months' leave of absence ;
Capt. Kennedy, to Deptford, vice Seymour, to the
St. Jean d'Acre; Lieut.-Col. Parke, to recruiting at
Bath, to relieve Lieut.-Col. Lambrick, appointed to
Plymouth division.

THE WAR IN TILE ROMAN

2EBBITO.RIES.

We have not had long to wait for the decision of
the King of Sardinia upon the advice proffered to
him by the French semi-official press. The troops
of Victor Emmanuel have entered the Roman ter-
ritories, and war has begun in good earnest. Gen.
Cialdini has taken Pesaro, which was already an-
nounced as being in a:state of insuri3ction, and with
the town 1,200 Germans and Mor signor Bella have
fallen into his hands. Orvieto has also surren-
dered. This is a dashing beginning of the cam-
.

paign, and a step that can-not be retracted. Sar-
dinia has abandoned the temporising policy which
she had adopted since the armistice of Villafranca.
She no longer oscillates backwards and forwards,
but throws in her lot with the Italian revolution.
Policy has done her work, all that negotiation, all
that balancing and temporising could effect has
been effected, and there is nothing left for it but
to fight it out manfully to the last. We may easily
imagine the motives that have driven Sardinia
to this decisive step. So long as she and her King
were the only recognised representatives of the
Italian movement she might feel herself at liberty
to consult her own safety, and await quietly the
march of events ; but the Italian movement is no
longer under the exclusive direction of the Sar-
dinian Government. Victor Emmanuel has in Gar-
baldi a most formidable competitor—a man of that
mould of which the successful leaders of great popu-
lar uprisings are made,—a man utterly regardless
of self, and not to be acted on by any of the meaner
motives by which common men are to be controlled.
The conqueror of Naples and Sicily is suite certain
not to arrest his advance at the frontier of the Ro-
man States. The momentum that he has gained
seems sufficient to carry him over all the resistance
which the States of the Church can offer, and to
bring him with a violent shock into collision with
the Austrian power in Venice. For such a con-
summation the Sardinian Government is not pre-

pared. It sees plainly that if things hold their -pre-
sent course a little longer it will be in the power of
Garibaldi to drag Piedmont as well as all the rest
of Italy into a conflict with Austria, and to force
her to risk all she has gained in an encounter where
the probabilities of success are against her. She
must, therefore, at whatever cost or risk, make her-
self once more mistress of the revolution. She must

lead, that she may not be forced to follow. She must
revolutionise the Papal States, in order that she
may put herself in a position to arrest a dangerous
revolutionary movement against Venetia. There
is some reason to think that in a recent interview
the Emperor of the French has been induced
to see things from this point of view, and
that no danger is apprehended on the side of
France. These motives are amply sufficient to ac-
count for the decisive movement of Victor Em-
manuel. He lives in revolutionary times, when self-
preservation has superseded all other considerations,
and it would be childish to apply to his situation
the maxims of international law which are applica-
ble to periods of tranquillity.
These being the motives which have impelled
Piedmont to draw the sword, we have next to see
what are the grounds on which she justifies the
step. These grounds are two—the extraordinary
misrule and oppression of the Papal Government,
and the presence of large bands of foreign mercena-
ries, by which the country is oppressed and ter-
rorised. The object is said to be to give the people
an opportunity of expressing their own wishes and
the re establishment of civil order. The King pro-
mises to respect the seat of the Chief of the Church
—Rome, we suppose, and its immediate environs ;
but, while holding out this assurance, the manifesto
speaks of the Pope and his advisers in terms of bit-
terness and acrimony unusual in the present age,
even in a declaration of war. He will teach the
people forgiveness of offences, and Christian tole-
rance to the Pope and his General. He denounces
the misguided advisers of the Pontiff and the fana-
ticism of the wicked sect which conspires against
his authority and the liberties of the nation. This
is harsh language, and is not inconsistently seconded
by the advance of 50,000 men.
We have not scrupled to avow the opinion that
the motives which urge the King of Sardinia to
invade the territory of a neighbour with whom he
is nominally at peace, and whom he. has already
stripped of half his dominions, are not wholly, or
even principally, those which his declaration puts
forward; and yet we do not scruple to say that
we heartily wish the King success. For this we
have many reasons. In the present condition of
Southern and Northern Italy it is quite impossible
to prevent a people outraged and trampled upon
like the subjects of the Pope from rising in prema-
ture, and, if their own strength alone be considered,
in hopeless insurrection. At Fossombrone the in-
surrection has been put down by force, and the
telegraph informs us of what we can well believe—
that scenes similar to those of Perugia have been
enacted. The war began between the Pope and his
subjects before the Piedmontese crossed the frontier,
and we well know how the soldiers of the Cross
make war. We do not wish to see Lamoriciere and
his Condottieri carrying fire, slaughter, and viola-
tion through the dominions of the Pope, and justify-
ing the rule of the Vicegerent of heaven by deeds
which hell itself might blush to look upon. This
band of mercenaries is a menace and an insult to
the rest of Italy. It has been called into existence
for no other purpose than to oppress the subjects of
the Pope, and to put down by armed force the rising
revolution ; and we do not see that the Powers
against which this army has been levied are bound
to wait till a suitable opportunity presents itself for
the Free Companions, satiated with slaughter and
rapine in the States of the Church, to exercise their
trade at the expense of Tuscany or the Legations.
Then there is the intolerable oppression of the Pope's
Government. The best proof of that oppression is
the fact that the Pope dares not trust his own sub-
jects with arms, but places himself, like Dionysius
of Syracuse, in the hands of foreign mercenaries.
The spectacle of a people kept down by such means
is an outrage on the civilisation of the age, and a
danger and menace for all the rest of Italy. Till
some government be established in the centre of Italy
which can be maintained without ten thousand
French troops to garrison the capital, and five and
twenty thousand foreign mercenaries to sack insur •
gent towns it is in vain to hape for peace. We freely
admit that nothing but the extremity of the evil
could justify the step which Sardinia has taken, but
we think that step is justified. The evil would not
cure itself. The locusts would not depart while a
blade of grass remained for them to devour, and the
mercenaries would remain while wealth, beauty, and
r whichons theyt o areoffe

GARD3ALDI;S CAREER OF CONQUEST.

It is probable that the course of events in Italy
has bewildered even those most intimately concerned
in the promotion of the catastrophe. Nobody could
have anticipated Garibaldi's career of conquest, or
foreseen the character of that astonishing revolution

which is now resolving organised States into the most
primitive elements of political economy. History
itself scarcely offers a parallel to the spectacle at this
moment presented by Southern Italy. To find a
precedent for such a picture we must trace back the
stream of time up to the decay of the Roman Em-
pire, when the whole face of Europe was changed,
and its population gravitated to new centres of
power. Scenes apparently similar were enacted, it
is true, during the wars of the French Revolution,
and especially towards the close of that eventful
period, but revolution had been then domesticated,
and the Governments subverted to make way for
others were themselves only a few years old. Per-
haps the closest parallel of all would be found in
the state of affairs which Napoleon's return from
Elba produced in France; but then Napoleon had
quitted France only 10 months before, and he re-
appeared as the restorer of an Empire to which,
notwithstanding the sufferings it has cost them, a
large portion of the French people looked With
affection and pride. When, again, the abdication
of Louis Philippe brought the downfall of his
dpnasty, the phenomenon caused but little surprise,
for the deposed monarch was but the first of his
line, and the same generation which witnessed his
flight could remember his accession. But no consi-
derations of this kind present themselves to explain
the revolutions now occurring in Italy. Rome and
Naples are the capitals of ancient States, ruled by
Governments of ancient standing, and owned by
legitimate Sovereigns. • Francis IL is the repre-
sentative of a monarchy foanded before the Norman
conquest of England, and Pius IX. can count more
predecessors than any potentate in the world. Even
the overthrow of European States ensuing on the
march of the French armies at the close of the last
century offers no true analogy to the present revo-
lutions. The French armies had might on their
side, and, if Switzerland and Venice were convulsed
at their approach, it was partly because the aid
offered to revolutionists was known to be irresistible.
But Garibaldi has had no such force at his com-
mand ; his troops were but a handful of men against
the armies of the Neapolitan Monarch, and, except
for the reinforcements he has received on his route,
would be no match in numbers even for the mer-
cenaries in the service of the Pope.
Nevertheless, we read day after day of such scenes
and events as scarcely consist with any natural esti-
mate of probabilities. Though Italy is certainly
not in a state of decay, but is giving, on the con-
trary, unexpected signs of national vigour, the po-
litical putrescence of its States transcends all
examples on record. Administrations, armies, and
institutions are crumbling into fragments ; Sove-
reigns are taking flight, and a simple adventurer
has all the cities of the Peninsula at his call. The
presence, or even the approach of Garibaldi, acts
like a chemical solvent upon the organised politics
of Southern Italy, and as soon as he appears the
elements of the compound obey the attraction of
new affinities, and are crystallised under new forms..
To what can we attribute so prodigious a result ?
To the power of the man or the previous condition
of the people ? We must probably take both these
causes into consideration if we wish really to under-
stand the effect.
There can be no doubt that for some years past
the various Governments of Italy have existed only
in outward show. They resembled those objects
which in tropical countries are occasionally found
so eaten out by ants that nothing but a thin crust
of their substance remains. They were undermined
by secret societies, which burrowed beneath the
surface of their institutions. They were deprived
of all support from their subjects, and could not re-
pose with confidence even on their own soldiers
They relied for protection on Austria, and, whet
Austria was expelled from their confines, the system
received its first great blow. Then came the libe-
ration of Lombardy and the Duchies, followed by
the strong contagion of freedom ; while in Naples
the Government, with suicidal folly, redoubled its
efforts to repress the spirit of liberty. Still, for all
this, it is unlikely that the catastrophe would have
occurred, except by the marvellous power and
equally marvellous successes of Garibaldi. The
Neapolitans knew their own minds, but not their
own strength or the weakness of their oppressors.
To make this discovery it required the sagacity and
daring of a genuine hero. Garibaldi has done in
Naples what Clive did in Bengal, and after a simi-
lar fashion. In each case the task proved perfectly
easy; but in each case the adventure called either-
for incredible discernment or superhuman courage.
The opposing force represented actually only a
phantom array, but it passed for a terrible reality
until the predestined champion revealed its hollow-
ness by a grasp.
It is fortunate again for Italian freedom that it
has been due so largely to the powers of a single
man. Everybody can understand a hero. The
name of Garibaldi comprehends and expresses
all that the Italians at present either feel or desire.
It relieves them from the contemplation of political
theories, and shields them from the designs of poli-
tical agitators. They know that they want liberty,
and they know that Garibaldi brings it. They hear
of him from day to day as always triumphant and
always advancing. They learn that no obstacles
either by sea or land have been any impediment to
his career. He landed in Sicily in despite of the
hostile fleet, and he marched victoriously over the
island in despite of the hostile garrison. After this
achievement he crossed the straits, and repeated in
Calabria the exploits of his Sicilian campaign. At
length he enters Naples—a liberator, a conqueror,
and a hero, and the Neapolitans are satisfied.
Whatever may come hereafter, they have now got
Garibaldi, and with Garibaldi they are content.
His presence suggests no complications or jealousies.
He represents simply Victory and freedom. The
Bourbons have fled before his face, liberty follows
in his footsteps, and peace settles upon his track.
No conditions more favourable to revolution could
possibly be imagined. The popular mind reposes
with satisfaction and content upon the image of a
hero, and all the troubles of a national regeneration
are quietly adjourned until the hero's work be done.
Thus far, then, wonderful as events have been, we
can find some explanation of them; but it is only
tco evident that more must remain behind. Gari-
baldi is Dictator, but dictatorship 3 are essentially
provisional. Italy must be reconstituted, and the
work will be fraught with difficulties of all kinds.
If the country passes whole and undivided under
the sceptre of King Victor Emmanuel, it will be
such an expansion of the original project as he and
his powerful ally never took into their considera-
tion—not to speak of the provincial animosities,
which will not always be dormant. If new preten-
ders appear upon the stage, they will bring new
complications ; if the old dynasties should be re-
stored, it will be at the cost of peace. The truth is,
the revolution is running away with its authors,
and the element of which least account was taken
has become the dominant element of the affair.
The insurrection of Italians was to have played
only a minor part in the drama. It might suffice
for a little succour in Lombardy and a diversion in
the Duchies, but nothing more. Lombardy was to
be made Italian instead of German, and that was
all. Unfortunately for these speculations, the spirit
of Liberty once unchained, pervaded, occupied, and
commanded the entire scene. Even the Emperor
Napoleon himself lost his power over events, and
acknowledged his incapacity to ratify his own con-
ventions. The Italians once relieved of the Austrians,
took their own way, in spite of French or Pied-
montese, and the scheme of allotments and compro-
mises was superseded by a vision of united Italy.
Garibaldi's own fortunes have exactly expressed
those of his country. A year ago he was a partisan
leader in the service of the allies, conducting a
handful of light troops along the skirts of the
mountains, and feeling the way for the great army
in his rear. He is now at the head of a mighty
movement, before which monarchies crumble, en-
tering capitals from which kings have fled, and
absorbing the aspirations of a people in arms. Just
so has it been with the Italian revolution. The
liberation of Italy commenced in the north on prin-
ciples of compromise and restriction, but it was
presently prosecuted in the south on bolder terms,
and it now comprises the whole country in its scope.
That it may find its consummation in genuine free-
dom and permanent tranquillity is the universal
, wish of Englishmen.—Times.

DONCASTER RACES-THURSDAY.

'over till to-day, an arrangement which not only eased the
DISASTPIi ON LOCH LOMOND.
oyer-o:.?wded Programme of the St. Leger day but
--- to- strengthened ti;,B otherwise comparatively weak Thursday's
card.

A correspondent in a contemporary says :—"
think it a ditty to society to apprise the public,
through your columns, of an occurrence which took
place this morning on Loch Lomond, and which
guilts in a striking manner the danger to which
tourists are exposed owing to the negligence of the
parties upon whom the duty devolves of securing
the safe navigation of the freshwater lakes in Scot-
land. Many of your readers are aware that Loch
Lomond, which is situated among mountains, is of
enormous depth, ranging from tit)o to 120 feet, and
is studded with numerous islands, Nytich are in
fact so many small mountains and hills covered
with water, save at the summit. Accompanied bi
two ladies I embarked this morning at Tarbet, on
the Prince of Wales steamer, bound for Balloch ;
about 40 passengers, including eight or ten ladies,
being on board. It is impossible to conceive a more
delightful morning than that on which we embarked,
but, as we went further down the lake, we got into
a slight fog, which was gradually giving way before
the influence of the bright sunshine. As we pro-
ceeded, the captain seemed to use caution, and
slackened the motion of the vessel, while a sharp
look out was kept ahead. Suddenly we struck upon
a sunken rock, and the vessel heeled over a little
and stopped, but, the paddles being put in mo:
tion, the vessel bumped over the rock ana
shot ahead. It immediately became evident that
she was sinking, which was confirmed by a
sailor rushing back to the stern crying, " My
God !we are sinking." The bottom of the cen-
tre and back compartments of the iron steamer
had been broken in by the rock, and the water
poured into the engine rooms and the after cabin,
but fortunately there was a water-tight bulkhead
between the forepart and the centre of the vessel,
or she must have gone down head foremost. As it
was, she began to settle down fast, at a distance of
about a quarter of a mile from shore, when it was
suggested that she should be hacked as the only
means of saving her. Providentially the engines
worked, which it was feared they would not do, and
the vessel slowly backed on the shore of a small
island until the stern touched the land, when the
forepart was kept up by the water-tight bulkhead.
In less than one minute after the vessel touched the
island, the fires were completely extinguished by
water rushing in, and the paddles became totally
useless. The utmost order and the strictest silence
were observed throughout—not a single shriek from
any of the ladies being heard, and the only sounds
being the orders of the captain and the motion of
the paddles. The ladies were taken to shore first,
in the small and only boat of the steamer, which
contained but six persons ; and the whole scene
was highly creditable and characteristic of the
people of these countries. The water having risen
in the cabins until it poured out of the windows,
the vessel became a complete wreck, and the pas-
sengers sat on the island until a steamboat came
up, about an hour afterwards, and took them off to
Balloch. The accident, which had so nearly been
attended with the total loss of the steamer and of
the lives of all, or nearly all, on board, is un-
doubtedly to be ascribed to the fact of there being no
buoy to indicate the position of a sunken rock,
about a quarter of a mile from shore in a channel of
about a mile in width, as the atmosphere was quite
clear enough to enable parties on the look-out to
see a buoy at a considerable distance. I was told
by some of the passengers who reside in the neigh-
bourhood, that there are several sunken rocks both
in Loch Lomond and Loch Katrina, without buoys
or marks of any kind, and, if the matter be not
taken up, I am satisfied that, at no remote period, a
most frightful disaster will occur, such as was
averted by the merciful providence of God in the
present case. It is not right that the tourists on
these beautiful lakes should be exposed to the
dangers of sunken rocks without marks of any kind
which are like so many open graves yawning under
J. their feet.

Thursday is the " off" day of the meeting, and after the
uproar and excitement of the St. Leger all persons seemed
to appreciate the lull which had succeeded the storm of the
previous afternoon. The racing is fully detailed above,
and requires no comment at our hands. The Portland

GUILDHALL.—DOINGS ON THE DONCASTER.
—Mr. Samuel Green, an artist, of 5, Canterbury-
pLice, Lambeth-road, who appeared on bail, and
Jame,; Laurie Saunders, who was described on the
charge-
stijet ae a " gentleman," of 56, Stanley-
street, Bromp,4-on, and brought up is custody, were
charged with creating a disturbance in Fleet-street,
under the following eircumseances :
Police constable 328, said about six o'clock last
evening I saw the prisoner (Saunders) and this
gentleman (Green) at the Sunday Times office near
the corner of Fleet-street. They were pushin,q and
pulling each other and the people about, and
creating a great disturbance.
Alderman Humphery—Were they sober ?
Officer—Saunders was very drunk, sir, but Green
wan quite sober. I requested them several, times to
go awa.7.. and told titem if they did not that I should
be obliged to take them to the police station.
Alderman Humphery—What are you, Saun-
ders ?
Saunders—Well, sir, I am a commission agent,
but I do a little in the sporting way as well.
Alderman Humphery—Do you mean betting in
the street ?
Saunders—Yes, sir.
Alderman Humphery—Well, Mr. Green, how
came you in this row in Fleet-street?
Green—l was in Fleet •sireet, sir, and wk.:s intro-
duced to this man (Saunders) as an konourabit' man,
to make a bet with, and deposited a sovereign With
him.
Alderman Humphsry—What hcrse did you back?
Green—l backed High Treason, sir. Half a
sovereign to 16 that he would win, and half a sove-
reign to 4 that he would get a place.
Alderman Humphery—Well, High Treason did
not win.
Green—No, sir, but he got a place and came in
second.
Alderman Humphery—Then you lost half a
sovereign on one point, and won £2 on the other ?
Green—Yes, sir ; and he said I should be paid as
soon as the result of the race was posted up at the
Sunday Times. I went to him at the time agreed
on for the money, and he shuffled about a great
deal, and refused to give me even my own money
back, and at last I told the pelicenuan to take ua to
the police station.
Alderman Humphery—Well, Saunders, it is very
bad conduct on your part to take this man's money,
and then refuse to pay him what he has won, or
return him his own.
Saunders—l told him, sir, I would pay him upon
the arrival of the final tissue, but he would not wait.
Aldermai Humphery—What do you mean by
the final tissue ?
Saunders—The telegraphic mosagae, sir.
Alderman Humphery—Well, Mr: Green, I think
you are very foolish, after earning *money in an
honourable manner, as an artist, to go .and gamble
it away in betting.
Green—l do not do much in the betting line, and
I will not do any more. I stopped this man because
he called a cab, and was going right away without
waiting for the final tissue. He gave me his card,
but that was of no use to me.
The following card was then handed to the
magistrate :

James L. Saunders,
Turf and General SportiAig Agent,
66, Stanley-street, Bromptori,
London, BM-
All Winnings Guaranteed.
Commission, 5 per cent.
Alderman Humphery—l shall fine you, SA under*,
55., for being drunk ; and I would recommend
yon
to pay Mr. Green his money ; and I would actrim
you, Mr. Green, not to have anything to do with:
betting again. It is an illegal act to be betting
the streets and creating a disturbance, for which you..
might be heavily fined.
Green—l shall not do it again you may depend'
upon it. I have had quite enough in this case to
be a lesson to me fof life. I shall be quite satisfied..
if I get my own money back again.
Saunders then paid the fine, and having promised
to pay back the money deposited by Green, he WAIL
liberated, and both parties left the court.

to 3d per 7( lbs. Several parcels of new wheat were shown,
but of inferior quality. Flour offered at is to 2s per sack
lower. Indian corn receded 6d per qr. Oats and oatmeal
at a slight decline. Beans at former rates.
