moters of the inquiry. 2d. That if any reasonable
doubt exist as to his sanity, a further and more
searching investigation shall take place publicly.
3d. That a certificate of the public officer
and the magistrate, together with a copy or
duplicate of that of the two " skilfu' persons'
shall be deposited in the office of the lerk of the
Peace of the county, or county court of the district in
which the alleged lunatic has been arrested, and in
which he is confined. 4thly, That any person who
may miss a friend or acquaintance may be entitled to
learn whether such friend or acquaintance is
de-
tained under any proceeding in lunacy, and to
have access to him, attended by a professional legal
adviser—a medical gentleman—and if necessary,
a magistrate. sth. That, until the examination men-
tioned in the first provision has taken place, and
until the name of the alleged lunatic, and certifi-
cates above referred to have been duly registered as
aforesaid, the alleged lunatic cannot be received into
any private asylum, under the penalty of the
forfeiture of licence, and of the party who
improperly receives the supposed lunatic being
liable to be convicted of a misdemeanour.
These or some such enactments would, we believe,
prevent sane men from being improperly incarce-
rated. Other regulations will be indispensable to
prevent those who may have recovered from tempo-
rary insanity, being improperly detained in custody.
To these we shall refer on some future occasion.

is a

TURIN, Ava• 20

about to make a tour to Spezia and other maritime
places. Count Cavour goes often to see the King at
Sommariva Perno, the summer seat of his Majesty.
Sir Charles Eastlake was here the other day en
route from Venice home. English travellers are nut
so numerous this year in Italy as they were for-
merly, and especially as they were in the last two
years.
The sad adventure which happened some time
ago to tliat unfortunate Jewish family at Bologna
(Mortara), deprived by order of the Holy Office of
a young son, six years old, has produced every-
where in Italy a feeling of indignation. The Liberal
press of this country immediately took up the cause
of the Bolognese family, but no man of sense can
expect any favourable result from the exertions of the
Sardinian free writers. It is too well known that the
Court of Rome is not in the habit of listening to the
outcry of public opinion, and there is no doubt that
she—if not compelled—will neither give way to the
prayers of the poor family nor to the remonstrances
of the press. It is curious to observe that the clerical
papers here which have recently so warmly espoused
the cause of the six Swedish females who embraced
Catholicism, and were in consequence condemned by
the criminal court of Stockholm to banishment from
their country, and have even gone so far as to open a
subscription in their favour, should not have raised
a single voice in behalf of the Mortara family. These
pious writers seem to believe that the principles of
religious toleration are only to be applied when their
peculiar tenets are concerned.
I am informed that the Jews residing in this
capital have made an application to Count Cavour
in order to obtain the -weight of the influence of
the Sardinian Government to rescue the child
from the grasp a the Holy Office ; but
their application, which met of course with sym-
pathy, could elicit no further support. And this
must be evident, for as this country is actually under
the displeasure of the Popish Government, and the
Sardinian Ministers are well known to be the friends
and supporters of enlightened religious toleration,
the cause would be hopeless in their hands, and only
tend to rouse the worst passions against he victims
of the Roman Inquisition. It remains now, there-
fore, to be seen how far the public opinion of the
civilised world will endure such a violation of the
laws both of nature and reason, and whether it will
be borne, in the nineteenth century, that such
an outrage to the rights of humanity should be
suffered to pass without redress and with impunit.
The Israelite community in every part of Italy
have got up addresses to the governments and to
their co-religionists in Paris and London, and if
sympathies are so strong here in their behalf from
all classes and all persuasions, what will they not be
in those emporiums of civilisation ?
The last atrocious murder committed at Locarno
(Switzerland), through the agency of the Mazzinian
sect, has produced here a general feeling of horror
and of indignation which I need not describe.
Several arrests have been made by the Sardi-
nian police, but up to this moment the assassin
appears to have escaped. The victim, whose
name is Parodi, although grievously wounded,
appears to be in a better state now than was ex-
pected, and the doctors begin to hope that he will
recover.
Count Giulio Gropello, the Sardinian Charg(i
d'Affaires at Naples, has just passed through Turin
on his way to Munich, where he is going to marry
the daughter of a distinguished Bavarian diplomatist.
The absence of Count Gropello from Naples will not
be long.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

CORFU, Ana. 17
I arrived here from Malta on the 11th inst. in the
Austrian Lloyd's steamer Malta, after a calm passage
of three days. We touched at Messina; but, owing
to the Bengazi plague, were not allowed to land or
communicate, except by word of mouth, and leaving
money in payment for fresh provisions. The prin-
cipal article free from quarantine in all parts is
money.
The roadstead, or rather bay, of Corfu is com-
pletely land-locked, surrounded on three sides by
the island, and on the other by the main land, with
only narrow exits to the north and south, not visible
from the harbour itself. On passing the citadel,
the first building which attracts notice is the palace,
f
It is construcietorMiliestr 5tn,,,0,-,LLE lanade.
,sp
k'Pa- ny tne
two handsome gates of St. Michael and St. George,
each of which frames, as it were, within its columns
a lovely picture of the distant mountains of Albania.
I must say that the opposite coast of Albania, the
fortifications of the island of Vido, the citadel of
Corfu, built on two precipitous rocks running out
into the sea, the palace of the Lord High Commis-
sioner, the town itself, and the rugged country, as
well as the distant mountains of the island, form a
splendid panoramic view.
On arrival here we (the passengers from Malta,
numbering 12) were astonished to find that a
quarantine of 15 days had been established a few
days before on all arrivals from Malta, for, when
we left, the public health of that island was in a per-
fectly good state, and indeed our steamer was fur-
nished with a clean bill of health. Every precau-
tion was taken by us at Malta to avoid
being placed in quarantine here, and in fact, on
the day previous to departure, inquiry was made
of the Acting Chief Secretary to Government, Capt.
Brett, whether free pratique would be given at Corfu
to arrivals from Malta, when we were informed that
it would be given, consequent on the precautionary
measures taken in Malta, and in proof thereof Capt.
Brett produced a telegraphic despatch which the
Governor of Malta had received from the Lord High
Commissioner here to such effect, in order, as he
said, not to mislead. And as the authorities of
previous to our departure,
taken
a had,furth ae r few
precautions,
by establishing an in-
creased quarantine of 21 days on all arrivals from
Bengazi, and 15 on those from Tripoli, we had every
reason to suppose that pratique would be given in
this place ; but the sanitary wiseacres are so fearful
of the plague that they put Malta down as an
infected place, whilst the public health of that
island is perfect. I need not dilate on the serious
inconvenience and injury which the quarantine
causes to all travellers and passengers, and you must
know that the Lazaretto of Corfu is by no means an
enviable dwelling locality ; on the contrary, it is a
plague to all during their detention, which savours
much of incarceration. All the passengers to Corfu
by the Malta are British subjects, and, coming from
a British possession, Malta, to another island ruled
by free England, they are much surprised and vexed
at being placed in qua quod for so long a term as 15
days, whilst Malta enjoys perfect good public health.
We addressed a petition on the subject to the
Lord High Commissioner, praying for a reduction
of the term of quarantine imposed on us, and the
answer received was as follows :—" The Lord High
Commissioner is very sorry for the inconvenience
they are put to, but it is unavoidable, for if Malta is
not placed in quarantine by the sauita authorities of
Corfu, Corfu would be placed in quarantine by all
the neighbouring countries." So much for this pest
of quarantine imposed in these parts with such
rigour. However, we are now settled in the Lazza-
retto, and make ourselves as merry and happy as
possible. Lieut. Hollway, 21st Fusiliers, is amongst
us. English travellers take a much longer time
than those of other countries in arranging little
matters appertaining to personal comforts. English-
men do like to make themselves comfortable. Whilst
bathing this morning off the rocks of the Lazzareto
an unwelcome visitor, in the shape of a large shark,
made his appearance a short distance before us. I
need not say that such an unexpected customer has
put a damper on one of our principal pleasures here.
I understand that sharks generally visit Corfu in the

summer time.
On our arrival in this roadstead we found her
Majesty's sloop Ariel authored off the citadel,
and an Austrian frigate lying near Vi 10. The
lonian steamer was also in the roadstead. The
Ariel left yesterday for Patras and Ithaca. The
British mercantile steamers Rhone and Minho
are both here, the former discharging a valuable
cargo in the Lazzaretto to the great injury
of the goods and owners. She was placed in
quarantine for having communicated with Gibraltar.
