CARDINAL ANTONELLI AND MS GEMS.—The
London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian writes :
" Lot me aid a trait or two of Cardinal Antonelli to the
very interesting ones contained in the article of theSuturday
Review. They illustrate the odd mixture of caution, cool-
ness, and timidity ia the man, and the sense of insecurity in
which he lives. He was showing a gentleman, from whom
I have the story, his valuable collection of ancient gems.
They were deposited in a room so far removed from that
usually occupied by the cardinal that my informant expressed
his surprise that, fond as he was of studying and showing
his treasures, the cardinal did not find some place of custody
less remote for them. " I used to keep them in a cabinet
opening from my bedroom," said Antonolli, "but it occurred
to me that if robbers broke in, it was highly desirable that
the most valuable objects of my collection should be depo-
sited as far off me as possible. Suppose these gems in
that closet—that thieves came after them—that I awoke
and overheard them. They might think it advisable to cut
my throat. But now there is no fear. If they rob me of
my gems, I shall be at least be out of earshot, and it will
not be necessary to give me my quietus in order to get off
clear with the bootr"
NARROW ESCAPE.—The bathing beach at Ostend
was two days ago very nearly becoming the scene of a
melancholy accident. One of the bathers, an Englishman
named Ensor, notwithstanding that he had been cautioned
as to the danger, swam out to a considerable distance from
the beach. On turning towards the shore he fdbnd him-
self caught by a strung current against which he vainly
attempted to make head, and which was rapidly carrying
him out to sea. Luckily his danger was seen by the super-
intendents of the bathing establishment, and three of the
men swam off to his assistance, reaching him just as he
' was sinking from exhaustion With some

THE INSURRECTION IN THE TWO

SICILIES.

A letter from Naples, dated Aug. 24, says :—A
telegraphic despatch from General Viale, received
at the Ministry yesterday evening, seems to confirm
the news already received, that after the surrender
of Reggio, an advance was made against the Royal
troops stationed at Piale, who were driven away.
By this movement Garibaldi has collected his forces,
which has been isolated in the Corona camp and
at Aspromonte. This Piale is a plateau, close to
which is the Alla Fiumara, and a little further off
the fort of Scylla, commanding the Faro. The
moment this position is occupied by the enemy the
Royal troops at Scylla are compelled to capitulate,
because they are cut off from the army-corps at
Catanzaro, or else they must let themselves be
beaten. Master of the fort of Scylla, and being
already in possession of Torre di Faro, Garibaldi
commands the strait, and the citadel of Messina has
no choice but to surrender. Garibaldi moreover
has the ridge, along which he can march freely
towards Catanzaro, just as he can freely land what-
ever he wants henceforth on the coast of Reggio.
Garibaldi's small army-corps has the three Cala-
brias for the field of its operations, and can rally
the inhabitants around its standard. The object of
the corps of Sapri is to act on the Basilicata, on
Cilento, Salerno, Campobasso, Avellino, and to lead
them on to the conquest of the capital. Nothing is
done rashly.
At Cosenza everything is ready. The officials of
Francis 11. are mere passive spectators of what is
doing there. The Royal force, 4,000 strong, per-
mits the revolution to develope itself peaceably.
The province is by a committee, consisting
of the most influential and wealthy men of the
kingdom—Messrs. Bavacco, Campagna, Forginele
Morelli, their president, M. Quientire, who places
his entire fortune (eight millions of francs) at the
service of the cause, and others. The Jesuits and the
magistrates have left. The prefect and the com-
mandant of the province shut their ayes to what is
done. M. Meseraro leaves to-
morrow. He had put
off his departure for want of arms,
and the armed
revolution will break out at Lungro the day after
his arrival. He is going to Paola, where there are
4,000 Royalists.

AUGUST 25.

The Syren, which arrived from Calabria at six
o'clock last evening, has brought news to the Go-
vernment that Torre de Cavallo has been taken, &a-
tone, Punta del Pizzo, Bagnara, and Scylla. The
soldiers holding these positions had embarked in
the City of Lyons and the Tancred, and gone back
to Naples. Garibaldi was master of the strait.
The Minister of War immediately sent the Syren
off again, to go and meet the 'steamers bringing
back those troops, and show them their destina-
tion. In fact, one of the steamers had brought
850 wounded to the Granili here, and the other
has brought 1,000 men to Castellamare. At the
same time the Minister ordered the 7th, Bth, and
9th regiments of Chasseurs to embark, and to
leave Naples that evening. Gen. Pianelli is to take
command of the troops in Calabria, and they are
to be concentrated in the defiles of Campotenere,
on the borders of the Calabrias and Basilicata, un-
less there should be counter-orders induced by the
march of events. Between the Court and the Mi-
nistry the orders given clash and are contradic-
tory. They wish to guard against everything and
yet remain, inactive, for their discouragement
blinds their vision and paralyses all their efforts.
They talked at Court of the King's imminent de-
parture, or in any case of the young Queen's, for
Gaeta. But as it seems that Garibaldi has now a
powerful navy, and as the royal navy is not in-
clined to be very royalist, a refuge at Gaeta does
not appear to be safe or impregnable, and that
something else must be thought of, It is said
that the French Minister was summoned to Court
the same evening. The King gave a ready ear to
what M. Brenier had to say, but he does not al-
ways follow his advice.

The battle of Piale was extremely sanguinary.
The Neapolitan soldiers displayed incredible bra-
very and tenacity. The Italians required all their
ardour to dislodge them at the point of the bayonet,
after having made several charges with success.
The number of the killed is not known, or they are
afraid to publish it. A few of the wounded and
killed Tteliving have been imemed. to me. Ido not
give their names, that I may not renew the alarm
occasioned by the false reports of Bixio's death, after
the battle of Calatafimi. Bad news soon spreads,
sooner than good news ; there is no occasion to
supply it with wings.
Three or four hundred Garibaldian red blouses,
hidden in a house, were seized here yesterday.

The plan of defence provisionally adopted at the
War-office is, I hear, to establish a solid force, by
Concentrating the troops behind the line of the Ca-
labrian mountains in the defile of Campotenere, and
lastly behind the course of the Garigliano. These
plans might easily be baffled by a " pronunciamen to"
of Italian] m on the part of the Neapolitan army,
and some Italian sharp-sighted politicians affect to
see it already in their mind's eye.
The movement in the province of Basilicata is
assuming proportions greater every day. Potenza
is about to become the centre of several provinces.
Salerno and Cilento hold their weapons in their
hands, and are waiting for the tide to come up from
Calabria.

The Neapolitan Government has given satisfaction
to the Sardinian Minister for the attack on the Ber-
saglieri in the streets of this city. It has paid
20,000 francs, which the Marquis of Villamarina has
caused to be distributed to the families of the five
civilians killed in the riot. The guilty are handed
over to a court-martial.
3 o'clock. —The following is the latest news, but
not guaranteed. The chiefs of the movement have
ordered their agents, from Reggio to CasteHamar°,
to supply the Garibaldians with provisions and
broad, upon receiving bonds signed by their com-
missariat officers. Marshal Viglia and General
Desuget convoke the generals to protest against the
order probably about to be given to them, to fight
in the city and vicinity of Naples. The Government
wished to form an entrenched camp at the gates of
the capital. Sala, Valle, and Campagna have risen
in full insurrection. From Cosenza to Salerno there
is not one soldier. General Casdavella, at Cosenza,
and General Ghio at Monteleone, are cut off by the
Garibaldians. At Rogliano, near Cosenza, there is
an intrenched camp of 12,000 insurgents ; 300 in-
surgents are occupying the narrow passes of Campo-
tenere. At Castao-Villari the gendarmes have
laid down their arms. At Naples a committee has
been appointed to collect money. Last night fifty
deserters were sent to Avellino. At Bovine, in
the Capitanata, there is a reactionary movement,
and the national guard has been disarmed. The
divisions of Viale, Melendez, and Briganti, which
took part in the battle of Piale, are destroyed, the
men being partly in flight, partly wounded or
killed, and partly having deserted.
A French volunteer, serving under Garibaldi,
gives the following account of the proceedings of
the General's troops from the day after their
landing on the mainland of Naples :—" On the
20th, departure at three o'clock in the morning
from our bivouac. Arrived at Lazzaro at ten.
Repose till six o'clock in the evening. Depar-
ture from Lazzaro at six, taking the carriage
road to Reggio. Half way to Reggio we took
a path by the mountain. We marched in the
following order :—" General Bixio and myself,
his aide-de-camp preceding us; behind us his
two orderly officers and two guides, and a quar-
termaster and his assistant; the advancedgdy.
tahr
ed
consisting of the Ist battalion of bemaglieri,
commanded by young Garibaldi ! Garl_joaldi and
his staff; the Ist brigade, command ea by Colonel
Dezza, and the 2d by Colonel Elibrard ; an
rear-guard, formed of the battalion of bersag-
lieri. At four o'clock in the morning of the 21st
we entered the suburbs of Reggio without having
met a single Neapolitaa soldier. We arrived in a
great square in which two Neapolitan companies
were encamped. Our soldiers cried with cnthu-
siasmVice
Garibaldi !' The cry awakenei the
Neapolitans, who seized their arms and
ni:lt-blank. Gen. Bixio was hit by a ball
fired on us
almost P
the left arm and his horse was .killed under
him. By a providential chance, I was not
wounded. The Neapolitans sought refuge in the

citadel. The garrison consisted of eight companies
of infantry, of half a squadron of lancers, and a bat•
tery of artillery. Two companies had boen de-
spatched the day before along the high road to pre-
vent us from approaching, but one short cut across
the mountain had enabled us to miss them ; we sent
a battalion after them, and in an hour they were
brought back prisoners. The fort, of the Marine

was taken at one o'clock, and 12 large cannon in it
fell into our hands. I received orders to rally all
the bersaglieri who had dispersed in the streets.
Fifteen Neapolitans had taken refuge in a private
house ; one of them fired a musket at me from a
window. I cannot say how it was that I was not
killed, as he was not more than 15 paces from me. I
called two bersaglieri and we entered the house. Ail
the soldiers in it gave themselves up prisoners ;
among them was the son of the colonel who com-
manded the regiment; he was wounded. I took
the flag of the regiment and gave the tassels of the
colour-knot to General Bixio. Garibaldi was on
the heights which command the citadel, and I re-
ceived orders to go to him to announce the taking
of the fort of the Marine. The colour-knot of the
flag consisted of two bands of silks embroidered
with gold, one red, and the other white. I offered
the red one to Garibaldi, who.pressed my hand, say-
ing, lam happy to clasp the hand of a brave
Frenchman, and I thank you !' I preserve the
white band for myself. Wo leave this evening to
continue our route towards Naples.
A communication from Naples in the Debate gives
some account of the subsequent proceedings of the
volunteers :—" Once masters of Reggio, Garibaldi's
troops did not make it their Capua. They marched,
immediately on the entrenched camp of the Royal
troops at Piale and attacked it. The Government
in:its official journals declares that the troops were
attacked by a superior force. A private letter adds
that the attack was formidable and the resistance
energetic ; that the forces of Generals Melen-
dez and Briganti were more numerous than those
of their assailants ; that the latter took pos-
session of the principal positions, the Royalists
being forced to quit them in disorder and re-
tire on Montele one after a struggle of ten
hours. A telegraphic despatch, received yesterday
evening by thd Government, confirms the news.
By this movement Garibaldi has formed a junction
with his men who had remained isolated in the
pClaamtepand, half
-way
up Corona and Aspromonte.awthiehisAua v Piale is a
iuraar_
a, and.
a little further the fort of Scylla, opposite to Faro.
That position once occupied, the troops of Scylla,
being cut off from the corps d'armee of
Catanzaro,
were compelled to capitulate. Garibaldi,
_master
of the fort of Scylla, as he was before
of Torre-
di-Faro, commands the Strait, and thecitadel of
Messina must soon surrender. Garibaldi is more.
over in possession of the road front Catanzaro
and n readily advance. He can also
freely land
at present all that he wishes on the
can
Coast of Reg-
gio. The small corps d ' armee of Garibaldi has for
and to rally
them
same round
on hi
object to act on the three Calabrias; baldi
to act at the
m.
the Basilicata,that
f C Capri hasnto
Salerno, Cam
time
and Avellino, and to lead
pobasso, them with him
to the conquest of the capital. Nothing
has been
done without due consideration."
" We learn," says the Opinion Nationale, "that
a short Ministerial crisis took place Within the last
few days at Turin. Count Cavour tendered his
resignation, but withdrew it a few boors after; and.
the reconciliation of the Cabinet appears to have
been marked by greater latitude allowed to the
volunteers to embark for Sicily."
A proclamation from the Committee of Italian
Unity, Printed at Milan, advises the N Ft
eapo ans
to refuse the annexation, as the consequence of
that fact would be, it says, the cession of Sardinia
to France. It also recommends them to reject the
royalty of the Prince of Carignan, because the in-
dispensable unity of Italy would then become,
impossible. These propositions, it is stated, come
from Mazzini, whose party is now raising their
heads, and seeking to form a fusion with that of
Garibaldi.
In Sicily discontent and agitation against the pro-
visional Government are on the increase; the pro-
Dictator is without influence or authority, and the
Mazzinians boldly throw off the mask.
It is an-
nounced that to put an end to this state of things
the Court of Turin has sent a deputy, M. Bottero, to
Palermo, charged to intimate an order to the Go-
vernment of Sicily to assemble the committees as
soon as possible, and to allow universal suffrage to
declare itself on the question of annexation.
A letter from Messina, of the 26th, in the Patris,
says :—" About two o'clock on the 22d a large
Neapolitan frigate of 56 guns entered the strait.
She took up a position opposite the batteries of
the Faro, and opened a warm cannonade, which
lasted about two hours. Some time after, a
French screw steamer showed herself at the en-
trance of the Strait, and received several cannon
shots from the guns of the Faro. It was not un-
til the 18th shot, that the error was discovered.
On the following day, the Prony arrived in the
roadstead of Messina, and a demand for satis-
faction was immediately sent to the commander-
in-chief of Messina and the Faro. At no the
Descartes and the Prony got under weigh, and.
anchored near the Faro. General Turr hastened
to write a letter to M. Boutard, the French Con-
sul, expressing his deep regret at such an error
having been committed. He said that in the
midst of the smoke the colours could not readily
be distinguished, and that moreover the Garibaldian
artillerymen were much enraged at the disloyal con-
duct of the Neapolitan frigate, which had come up
under a French flag, and after examining the batte-
ries and taking up a favourable position, had dis-
charged two murderous broadsides on the men who
were quietly watching her movements. The
French flag was not hauled down, and replaced
by the Neapolitan one until after these broad-
sides had been fired. General Turr, without
wishing to make this fact an excuse, offered the
most ample satisfaction to the French command-
ant. A melancholy event occurred on the 22d;
Commandant De Flotte, formerly a lieutenant in
the French navy, was killed at Solano. He had
landed with 50 men, French and English, to join
one of the corps which had disembarked on the
previous day. On reaching Solano he fell into
the midst of a battalion of the Neapolitan troops,
who opened a fire, and De Flotte, who was in ad-
vance of his men, received a musket shot through
the head. His small detachment afterwards sue
ceeded in joining Cosenz, carrying with them the
body of their leader. General Garibaldi gave orders
that the body should be buried in the chrarch of
Solano, and placed the name of the comanandant
and his brave detachmet on an order of the day to
the army.

brated and highly-esteemed actresses of domestic drama
expired on Thursday last. Mrs. Yates daughter of Mr. J.
Brunton, manager of the Norwich circuit, and niece of the
