The course of action upon which the Cabinet of
Turin is now entering has the double merit of open-
ness and opportunity. The position of the Pied-
montese Government, though it could scarcely have
been modified with safety a moment sooner, was
becoming almost as intolerable in its own eyes as
in the eyes of other Powers. An alliance with the
Bourbon dynasty at Naples would have been simple
suicide ; a positive rejection of that affiance would
have looked more like rapacity than self-denial.
Common sense and the well-considered interests of
Italy alike commanded Count Cavour to wait. But

#:YARDINIA.

(From a Correspondent of the _Daily News.)
TURIN, AUG. 30.
Alea jacta est—the die is cast. Our government
has deemed it to be necessary for itself and advan-
tageous to the whole of Europe to come forth out
of the diplomatic shilly-shallying, and to prevent
Naples from becoming, upon the fall of the Bourbon
throne, a prey to anarchy, which might for a brief
moment gratify the self-love and visionary schemes
of some Mazzinians, but woald result in the tri-
umph of a reaction. The Neapolitan army is either
conquered or broken up; the people are proclaiming
Victor Emmanuel, which means that they are still
faithfully attached to the monarchical principle, and
they do not desire to call in any foreigner to occupy
their homes. Were we to delay responding to their
call, the monarchical principle might suffer ship-
wreck in the midst of the tempest, or a French
prince might turn the interregnum to his own pro-
fit. For these reasons the Piedmontese Bersaglieri
are to land forthwith from the Sardinian ships in
the capital of the kingdom for the purpose of pre-
serving order, and afterwards Gen. Lamarmora is
to arrive with thirty thousand men, and to re-
organise the decomposed army. If the rapid con-
veyance of so large a force should be impossible,
the Pope will be asked to allow a passage through
his dominions. The Pope conceded this passage to
the Austrians in 1821, and again to the Neapoli-
tans in 184, and now he cannot refuse it to us.
Austria will not be. touched, but she must cease
making Ancona her military port. All the liberals
have applauded this project, which was communi-
cated to the public two days ago. It is only Maz-
zini's organs that oppose it, because they see that
the monarchical principle will acquire fresh splen-
dour in Italy by this act. That party does not com-
prehend the spirit of the age ; it remains a mere sect
and loves itself rather than the nation. The ques-
tion now is, what will be Lamoriciere's line of con-
duct in consequence of this unexpected determina-
tion of our government ? It is difficult to divine
what it will be, but I believe, that yesterday, in the
council of ministers presided over by the King,
after Farini had stated the result of his journey to
Chambery and of his short interview with the Em-
peror, this very question was started, and suitable
provision was made for every case. This morning
the cabinet met again. Ministers are quite in con-
cord, and the King is displaying greater solicitude

than ever for the affairs of the state. The camps of
instruction, which were to have been opened in the
early part of September, are to be foregone this
yar,

readi-
ness for whatever events may happen.
Thus Garibaldi's enterprise, which has already
kindled so much sympathy in noble England, will
have achieved a prompt success as regards the Two
Sicilies, and perhaps also for a part of the popula-
tions who are still subjected to the harsh and anar-
chical government of the Pope.
We have here at Turin some more English officers
or gentlemen, who are full of enthusiasm for Gari-
baldi. They are about to leave for the Calabrias,
being desirous of making his acquaintance, and of
assisting him if necessary.
The letter of the Count of Syracuse, which I sent
you three days ago, was made known here to the
public this morning, and it has produced a great
sensation. I have now to inform you that a second
letter has been addressed by him to our King, in
which he recognises him henceforth as the Sove-
reign of Italy, and he prays the King to occupy
Naples without delay, in order that civil war and
anarchy may be prevented.
In the meantime the King of Naples will proceed
to Gaeta, and there shut himself up, yet indulging
some hope. He thinks that by continuing to hold
Gaeta and the citadel of Messina he can say that he
still possesses the Two Sicilies, and that no one can
take possession of his throne without being con-
sidered an usurper. But even supposing that after
Naples, with the entire kingdom, shall have declared
for Victor Emmanuel—as Sicily has already done
—the soldiers of Messina and Gaeta should remain
faithful to him, can he then be called the King ? Had
some foreign enemy expelled him, he might be con-
sidered as still the King ; but when driven out by
his own people, and by the whole people of Italy,
he has, according to the true law of nations,
ceased to reign. The legal fiction, the diplomatic
title, has no longer any validity in his case; it
would be merely brute force applied to this case
that could impose him on the people; but the
civilisation of our age has made such progress that
even this resource will be denied him.

when the Two Sicilies had declared for Victor Em-
manuel in the person of his heroic Lieutenant, to
abandon Naples for a single day to the hazards of
a military insurrection, or to the anarchy of factions,
would be to pave the way for foreign intervention.

civil order, and to reorganise the shattered army
of the South. No European Government—cer-
tainly not England—can regret that the Govern-
ment of Piedmont step's in to preserve constitu-
tional and national principles at Naples, and to
prevent any foreign pretender from taking advan-
tage of an interregnum to conquer or cajole the
suffrages of the mob. It will be interesting to
observe the effect of the request which the Cabinet
of Turin is about to make to the Papal Govern-
ment; The Government of His Holiness will be
asked to permit a Piedmontese army to traverse
the frontiers of the States of the Church. This
was accorded to the troops of Austria by the Pope's
permission in 1821, and to the troops of the
King of Naples in 184 S. Will Cardinal Anto-
nelli, 111. de Merode, and General Lamoriciere be
equally accommodating in 1860 to the army of
Victor Emmanuel ? And if not, what next ? The
Emperor of the French invited us to send our
troops through France to Marseilles during the
Indian mutiny, and the Viceroy of Egypt assured
us that we might send our entire army through
his State. As an act of courtesy, therefore, there
is nothing uncommon in the testimony of goodwill
which Pius IX. is invited to offer in so grave an
emergency as the present state of the kingdom
of Naples. The Count of Syracuse has already
urged Victor Emmanuel, as King of Italy, to
occupy the kingdom of Francis II.; and
Francis IL is ready and anxious to be off to
Gaeta, as the last stage on Neapolitan soil, on
his route to Vienna or Madrid. If the Pope forbids
a passage through his States to an excommunicated
army, what then ? Time is precious, transports
are wanting, delay is fatal. Within the next fort-
night or three weeks we may perhaps know what
stuff Lamoriciere's army is made of—whether it is
in a condition to repeat the exploits of Perugia ;
and other questions besides the Neapolitan may be
hastening to a solution. Austria will certainly not
be attacked, and will certainly not move from her
Quadrilateral to intercept the fulfilment of Gari-
baldi's enterprise in the Two Sicilies or elsewhere.
The Emperor of the French, who has expressed
himself anxious to see the Italian question settled
" any how, but without foreign intervention," will
hardly he prepared to do more than guard the gates
of the Vatican and the road to Civita Vecchia.

ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT

1?AIL WAY.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was opened at
the Railway Tavern, Blackheath, before Mr. C. J.
Carttar, coroner for West Kent, on the body of
John King Charles, aged 22, described as a travel-
ling advertising agent for the London Review,
News of the World, &c„ who was completely
severed in two by a train in the Blackheath Tunnel
on the previous Friday evening.
Mr. Robinson, from the Law-office of the South-
Eastern Railway Compony, attended to watch the
proceedings on behalf of the company; and Mr. G.
C. Fletcher, solicitor, of 14, Trinity-square, South-
wark, for the widow of the deceased.
The following witnesses were examined.
John Charles identified the body of deceased as
that of his son, who was employed as an advertising
agent for the London Review, amd resided at 12,
Hatfield-street, Goswell street.
George Baker, of 21, King-street, Borough-road,
deposed that he last saw the deceased, who was his
brother-in-law, on the previous afternoon, at two
o'clock. The deceased then told witness that he
was going a journey upon business, but should be
be home on the same night.
George Abbott deposed—He resided at 123, New
Church-street, Bermondsey, and is a guard in the
service of the South-Eastern Railway Company.
On Friday afternoon last, he left Woolwich Arsenal
Station, with the 5,2 G up-train, and on arriving at
Charlton, he observed that a man and woman were
the sole occupants of a second-class carriage, near
the guards' break. When in the Blackheath Tun-
nel, witness saw these parties " romping," and
before leaving the tunnel, he looked into the com-
partment and saw conduct on the part of both
which induced him to rap at the window with a key.
When the train started from Blackheath, witness
observed that the man had left the carriage, but
the woman remained, and on arriving at New-
cross, where the tickets are taken, the woman got
out, saying that her companion had her ticket, and
she would wait until he arrived. Witness then
proceeded with the train to London. bridge, when
some of the passengers asked him if he did not per-
ceive an unusual jolting in the tunnel, but witness
attributed this jolting to the loose earth at one par-
ticular spot, where the wet is continually dripping.
He reported what the passengers had said to the
station-master at London-bridge, and the carriageo
were examined, but nothing appeared to show thatan accident had happened. On returning with raus_
train to Woolwich witness reported what t heath,
sengers had said to the head-porter at Black

Ilini"rackington, ticket• collector at the New-
cross Station on the North Kent line, deposed—
on the arrival of the train
in question at New-cross
a female, apparently about
16 years of age, got out
and stated that she had not got a ticket, as it was in
possession of a young
the
man whom she had accom-
panied from Woolwich. She also said that her com-
panion wished to take liberties with her. That some
person tapped at the window, and that he imme-
diately left the carriage when under the archway.
After remaining on the platform for some time a
man came and spoke to the female, and they both
proceeded by the next train to London, the female
giving up a return ticket from Woolwich.
Tho Coroner—Then it is evident that she must
have retained possession of the ticket.
Henry Gosling, head porter at the Blackheath.
Station, proved finding the body of the deceased,
which was completely severed across the chest, one
portion lying between the up-rails, and the other
next the wall of the tunnel. A felt hat belonging
to the deceased was also found, and from appear-
ances it would seem that the deceased was thrown
against the wall, and thence under the passing
train.

I say that he is going to Gaeta, beeause such was
his project a few days ago ; but the last declaration
of his generals has very probably induced him to
change his mind and go direct to Vienna or Monaco
or Madrid.

Whilst the King of Naples will take ship for the
purpose of leaving his lovely bay, our Government
is hiring every transport it can find, our own ves-
sels of war not being sufficiently numerous, for part
of them are already occupied elsewhere. Two large
steamers of the late Transatlantic Company have
been already taken up ; one of them, the best of
the two, is called the Count Cavour, a name of
good omen, as the real Count Cavour has navigated
the diplomatic waters hitherto with pretty good
success, though he was once forced to throw over-
board a Dart of his cargo in order to save the ship.
I mean Savoy and Nice, which yet might have
been preserved, and not left a prey to the corsairs,
if ethers had borne down to his assistance.

Notwithstanding the declarations she has made
to our Government and to that of France, will
Austria remain a passive looker on ? Here every
one is asking what she means to do, and perhaps
the question may be capable of being answered in
ten days or a fortnight hence. Few here believe
in her declarations; but there are very many who
believe that Hungary will compel her to be' 'at
least for the present, more prudent than is her
wont.

(From the Daily News.)

The letter which we publish to-day from our
correspondent at Turin (whose information, as our
readers are by this time aware, is seldom at fault)
will be read with anxious interest by every friend
of Italy in a country where the friends of Italy are
the public. We have for several days past abstained
from any passing comment upon the rapid succes-
sion of events in the South of the Peninsula, which
even the telegraph has been obliged to report in-
termittently, between sullen fits of silence and
malignant puffs of rumour. It was hardly worth
while to shake the rotten fruit from a tree nodding
to its fall. In truth, in any grand catastrophe
there is something that demands respect; eve_nfolr

crash, arumbling, a here and there, an
'rig all aroundupheavi; one moment an icy prison,
the next a bursting and buoyant immensity of
waters, hurrying all relentlessly away.
Count Cavour, Who for the last six months has
been the second best abused man in Europe, has
once more vindicated the rare acuteness and fore-
sight of his statesmanship, by seizing at a glance
the moment for vigorous and decisive action. Baffled
and battered by diplomatic warnings on one side,
and by factious excesses on the other ; assailed for
his caution
revolutionary sympathies by despotic Powers; un-
willing to sacrifice his country or his cause to alien
exigencies; unwilling to compromise both by suf-
fering rashness to prevail, the Prime Minister of
the Italian kingdom has held his prudent and
unswerving course right on against calumny,
menace, and intrigue; heedless of the idle breath
of popular applause, tenacious of his purpose, con-
fident and calm in his resolve. To take the happy
metaphor sent us from Turin, Count Cavour has
navigated the State committed to his care through
a channel strewed with wrecks, and choked with
sunken rocks, without for a moment losing his pre-
sence of mind. True, he has had t, throw overboard
a precious part of a valuable cargo to save the rest ;
but it was in dire extremity, no other aid at hand.
It were an injustice, from which this great
Minister may securely appeal to history, to forget
that it is to his masterly policy that Italy owes
her life to-day; to the Minister who sent a Pied-
montese contingent to the Crimea, and represented
Italy in the Congress of Paris, it is due that Italy
moves and has her being as a nation, with an
army, a navy, a parliament, a flag, a constitution,
a throne, and a Garibaldi. For if a Cavournhown
