officer." Now, We do not doubt for a single instant
but that it was peusonally painful to Mr. TRAIL',
to address to Mr. DAVIS, Chief Officer of the Alma,
words such as those.—words of strong, and positive,
and explicit con demnation. Next to the pain with
which Mr. DAVIS must have listened to them, must
have been no less, e,grtainly, the discomfort (to say
the least of it) with s rhjch they were uttered by the
magistrate. But Mr. TRAILL happily looked in
this, more to what was good for the public than
to what was simply ecgreeable to himself. He
saw the truth distinctly before him, and— as he
ought—refused to shut his eyes to it. Wedo heartily
wish that other men would follow in this way
the resolute example sat to all official inquirers by
the bold, manly, straightonward course taken
throughout this distressing investigation by this
just and worthy magistrate.

THE MURDER AT PARMA.

The Piedmontese journals of the Bth, which have
come to hand this morning, contain full details of
the murder of Col. Anviti on the sth at Parma.
The Piedmontese Gazette quotes the following
without comment from the Parma Gazette of the
6th :

" The people of Parma, who, by their late revolu-
tion, had merited the esteem of all Europe for the
admirable order, calmness, and generous sentiments
with which they had ever met those even who had
left nothing undone to torture, oppress, and bru-
talise them, allowed themselves last night to b©
fatally carried away by an irrepressible paroxysm
of hatred, suspicion, and vengeance which drove
them involuntarily to commit an act which the pen
recoils from recording. One Anviti, whose name
excited execration in the hearts of all, a man who
was the incarnation of all that is odious, tyranni-
cal, and shameful in the many persecutions of
the late Bourbon Government, was yesterday
seen and recognised in this city after a mysterious
absence of several months. His appearance at this
moment, undoubtedly connected with traitorous
intrigues and a desire to create disorder, excited a
furious suspicion in the minds of some who, vainly
admonished by some citizens, gave the signal for an
act which led to sudden and deplorable conse-
quences. Blinded with rage, to rush to the place
where he was confined, to break it open, to seize
the unhappy man and to expose him to the insults
of a crowd maddened by passion, was the work
of an instant. A few minutes later he was a
corpse. The rapidity with which the crime was
committed did not allow the Government time
to foresee, or the public force to prevent, or the
majority of the inhabitants to oppose it. There
now remains in us but a painful recollection of
the act—repentance, too late, alas ! in those who
committed it—and perhaps a pretext for our
enemies to interpret it and comment on it in a man-
ner prejudicial to us and to all Italy.—This morn•
ing the following proclamation was issued :
Citizens !—Last night your city was saddened by
an event which can never be sufficiently deplored.
A villain appeared among the people whom he had
cruelly offended. The fever of vengeance seized
upon some unhappy men, blinded and maddened
them, and made them dye their hands in blood.
[lad he been the most perverse of men, it was for
the law alone to punish him. While the Govern-
ment is taking measures to uphold the majesty of
the law, it feels that this is the moment for in-
voking the co-operation of all good citizens in the
name of patriotism. You who understand liberty,
tell your fellow-citizens that freedom cannot live
without respect for the laws. You who desire the
redemption of your country, tell them that we
must hope for it by maintaining order and tran-
quillity. Tell them that by avenging the insults
of tyranny through the means used yesterday they
will instead prepare the way for its return, they
will afford it an opportunity of inflicting revenge a
hundredfold upon the people. Tell them that all
Italy weeps over the crime of yesterday—that her
enemies only laugh.
" The Intendant-General, CAVALLINI.'"
" Parma, Oct. 6, 1859.
The Opinione of Turin gives a more detailed ac-
count of the occurrence. It says :
" Colonel Count Luigi Anviti, chamberlain to
the late duke, arrived by rail on the afternoon of
the sth at Parma from Bologna. He was recog-
nised at the station by one who, it is said, had
been condemned to the bastinado under the Ducal
Government, and had undergone 4he punishment
in the presence of the colonel, who was scoffing at
him all the while. By the aid of some persons
he was taken to the barracks of the carbineers."
(The Italian sentence—fu tratto netta caserma
conveys the idea that he was arrested by these
persons, and taken to the barracks in order
to be given up to the authorities to be dealt with
according to law.) " But no sooner did it become
known that Anviti had been discovered and taken
to the barracks than a crowd assembled, crying :
Death ! death !' The authorities strove in vain to
mstrain the multitude; their words were not lis-
tened to, the force of the carbineers was insufficient.
The people, breaking into the barracks, seized
Anviti, dragged him half dead to the coffee-housel
where he used to boast of the bastinado he had in-
flicted and the other barbarities committed by him.
Several influential persons interposed in vain to
deliver him from the mob ; Colonel Sceismid-Boda,
of the army of Central Italy, did what a man could
do to save him—he braved cries and blows, but did
not succeed in wresting him from the hands of a
ferocious rabble. Anviti's head was cut off in
the coffee-house, then stuck upon a pole,
_and
placed on the column of the public square. The
troops were drawn up, and were awaiting the
order from the political authority to act—but what
was the latter about ? It was only about 8 p.m.
that the national guard was called under arms, and
hastened to restore order so shamefully disturbed.
Several persons were wounded ; he who held the
head of Anviti did not give it up until he had re-
ceive seven wounds, such was his rage, because he
had been bastinadoed, and in the presence of Anviti
himself. It is said that among those who appeared
' most enraged there was a brother of one who had
been shot on suspicion of having fired a pistol at
Anviti ; whereas it was currently stated at Parma
that Anviti himself had fired the pistol in order to
lay the charge upon that young, man. Anviti was
hated because he was one of the worst instru-
ments of the Duke. He was always present at the
torture of the bastinado ; at every stroke he would
scoff at his victim, saying : This for Pius IX., this
for Viva P Italia ! this for Down with .Austria; 8:c."
The Sleek has a letter from Turin which gives an
account ofthe deplorable affair at Parma :
" Charles 111., the deceased husband of the sister
of the Count de Chambord, was, as is well-
known, one of the most maniacal tyrants of un-
fortunate Italy. His horrible eccentricities may
be compared to those of Paul I. of Russia. From
his jesuitical education, he entertained the idea
that the best way to govern his people was to
bastinado them on all occasions, without distinc-
tion of age, sex, or social position. Having
excited public hatred to the utmost, the modern
Heliogabalus was assassinated. But nevertheless
his system of Government was for a time acted
on by his widow, the Duchess Regent, who suc-
ceeded him, and it was Colonel Anviti, a man
without education, though bearing the title of
count, who carried it out. He scrupulously
followed the traditions of his master. He even
took pleasure in witnessing the infamous atrocitiese
which he ordered to be perpetrated :—naYtmPr
he scoffed at his victims. That is
Charles
he used to say as the blow fell and that for
for Italy!'
Albert, and that for the friends of independenceßut bastinadoing did not always appear
sufficient punishment ; and he is
ehanged in besides accused of
having caused several persons to b
pri-
son without any form of trial. For some time past,
he lived in retirement in the neighbourhood of
Piacenza. But on the sth of this
lie had arrived
month he was
found at Reggio, at which place
from the Papal States. He wasin custody of two
arrested by order
of the authorities, and placed
carbineers to be conveyedtoPiacenza. On arriv-
ing at the railway station at Parma, these men re-
solved to make a halt, and took him to the bar-
racks of the carbineers. ,o reach them they had to
pass through the greater part of the town, and on
the way the brother of a man named Carir.i, who
had been hanged in prisotnbey bastinado, recognised order of Anviti, and
having himself received b
him, and loudly expressed indignation. A crowd
assembled, but the carbinie_e_rseususceAedneudnil
their prisoner in the gua d h übeirodofgituhge
crowd, amounting to about. thirty, attacked the
guard-house, in spite of the remonstrances of some
respectable persons ;
.t.he door was forced open,
and the wretched Alit Ai was killed by stabs from
poign ards. His dead body was then dragged to
and there the head was cut
the principal sqes
off, and placed uoairi the top of a column ; after-
wards, horrible to relate, the body for the space
of two hours was dragged about the streets. The
assassination was accomplished, so promptly that
i
it was impossible to prevent it. The band which
dragged about the bodyt was not numerous, a nd it
is to be regretted that
te dreadful scene. the The national g
oon t
uard did not
,
er put an end 0 the
news of the affair has,u,rin
caused,which has sent a bat-
talion of riflemen to
Dietat
profound affliction
to the Government of
Parma to maintain order; it
has also requested
or Parini to take measures
'
to punish the principal perpetrators of the crime."
On the other hand, the Milan Gazette gives the
following version of the affair
" Col. Anviti had
been, in thet
a
withsv
ee-
al months past, and vas was staying,ster,eday, Rimini
the rail-
wone of Iris old colleagues.,uin
ay which goes to r

ge being broken, Anviti
alighted with the other passengers, to cross the
streimi on foot. Some inhabitants. of Parma
havino.recognised him, he was Inunediately arrested,

1,":1;;I the colonel, who commanded a battalion of the
l°,►rri6on, promised the prisoner his life, and de-
(Allred to the mob that the prisoner was to be
judged, and if proved guilty, executed. The gate
ot'ite barracks was soon forced open,
the prisoner
seized, massacred with stones and bludgeons,
d; ged along the streets, laid down in a coffew
house,,r where his head was cut off, and all this
lasted until half-past 9 p.m.—that is, five hours.
At last a patrol of the Pignerol battalion arrived
with fixed bayonets, in order to save from these
orgies the remains of a man who, although a cri-

minal, had been punished in a much more criminal
manner. There are no carbineers at Parma, it is
true ; but there are many volunteers already. or-
ganised, besides a battalion of Piedmonteso and
five battalions of the National Guard. Oh, poor
Italy ! why is it written that thine own sons shall
always tear thy bosom ! Now, M. Farini, it is for
you to show the vigour so necessary at this mo-
ment, in order that a noble and generous nation
may not suffer from the madness of a hundred vil-
lains !"
