GARIBALDI.

The Gazette de Liege publishes the following
document. It purports to be a set of instructions
addressed by Garibaldi to the chiefs of the " Na-
tional Society of Italy" in the different Italian
States :
" To THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF ITALY.
" In the present state of Italian affairs the presi-
dent considers it his duty to transmit to the society
the following secret instructions :
" 1. No sooner have hostilities commenced be-
tween Piedmont and Austria than you will at once
rise in insurrection to the cry of ' Viva 1' Italia e
Vittorio Emnianuele—Out with the Austrians V
" 2. If insurrection should be impossible in your
own town, all young men able to bear arms will
leave it, and proceed to the nearest town where
insurrection has been already successful, or is
likely to be so. Arnow, neighbouring towns you
will choose those nearest to Piedmont, where all
Italian forces should be concentrated.
"3. You will make every effort to vanquish and
disorganise the Austrian army, intercepting its
communications, destroying its bridges and tele-
graphs, burning all depots of provisions or clothing,
and making prisoners of all important persons in
the Austrian service.
"4. Do not at first fire on Italian or Hungarian
soldiers, but, on the contrary, endeavour to induce
them to follow your own flag, and receive with
open arms all who give way to your exhortations.
"5. Regular troops, who will embarrass the
national cause will be at once sent into Piedmont.
"6. Wherever the insurrection is successful the
man who stands highest in the popular estimation
will assume military and civil authority, with the
title of Provisional Commissioner for King Victor
Emmanuel, and will maintain it until the arrival
of the Commissioner despatched by the Piedmon-
tese Government.
" 7. The Provisional Commissioner will abolish
the taxes on bread, corn, &c., and in general all
taxes which do not exist in Sardinian territory.

"8. A levy will at once be made, by means of
cmscription, of young men from 18 to 20 years of
age, in the proportion of 10 to 1,000 of the gross
population. All men also, from 20 to 35, willing
to bear arms in defence of the national indepen-
dence, may be received as volunteers, both con-
scripts and volunteers being at once despatched to
Piedmont.

"9. The Provisional Commissioner will appoint
a council of war, with power to try and punish,

against the national causes, or against the life or
no distinctions of rank or class, but no person may
be punished for crimes committed anterior to the
insurrection.
10. He will not allow of the establishment of
political journals, but he will publish a bulletin of
all facts which it is necessary to make public.
" 11. He will dismiss from their posts all magis-
trates or officers who may be opposed to the new
order of things, always proceeding with prudence
and caution .
" 12. He will maintain the severest discipline,
applying to all the laws suitable during a time of
war. He will be inexorable to deserters, and will
give the strictest orders on this subject to all his
subordinates.
"13. He will send to King Victor Emmanuel a
precise description of the arms, ammunition, and
money found in the various towns and provinces,
and he will await commands on this subject.
" 14. In case of necessity he will make requisi-
tions for money, horses, carts, shops, &c., always
giving a corresponding receipt ; but he will punish
with the utmost rigour all who shall make requisi-
tions of this kind without the most pressing neces-
sity, or without making a definite contract.
" 15. Until the time referred to in the first article
of these instructions you will use every means in
your power for manifesting the aversion which
Italy feels for the Austrian domination and for the
Governments dependent on Austria, as well as her
love for independence and her confidence in the
House of Savoy and the Piedmontese Government ;
but you will do all in your power to prevent un-
timely or isolated movements.
"For the President,
" The Vice-President, GARIBALDI.

66 MAJORITY" OF THE EARL OF COVENTRY.—For
16 years the title of the Earl of Coventry has been held by
a minor, and during the whole of that period the family
property in Worcestershire and elsewhere has been accu-
mulating. The young lord came of age on Monday last,
and the event was celebrated by festivities on the largest
scale ever before known in the district. His lordship's
tenantry met at Croome House, the family seat, about six
miles from -Worcester, where an address was presented and
suitably acknowledged. The greater pirt of the visitors then
attended divine service at the parish church, after which a
dinner was given to the cottagers and others on the estate,
numbering upwards of a thousand. His lordship afterwards
invited the tenantry to dine with him, and in the meantime
the park and grounds were filled by thousands upon thou-
sands of visitors from all parts of the country who partici-
pated in rustic sports until night. At Worcester there
was a general holiday and a public dinner at the Guildhall,
which was attended by Lord Lyttelton, Lord Beauchamp,
the high sheriff of the county, the sheriff of the city, &c.
Of course the health of the Earl of Coventry was rap-
turously received here and at Croome, and the festivities
were prolonged until a late hour. Yesterday (Tuesday)
there was another public dinner at Pershore, in the midst of
the Coventry property, and also a feast for the poor, with
rustic games, and other entertainments. To-night his lord-
ship gives a ball to the tenantry and their friends, and the
festivities will not be closed until the end of the week. There
has been no such public celebration in Worcestershire within
the recollection of the oldest inhabitant, the Coventry name
being veq Lunch respected iv, the county.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY

Paris to-day presented a scene of animation
which belongs alone to large cities and great events.
The Emperor was to leave the Tuileries at six
o'clock to head the army of Italy. A Bonaparte
was once more turning his back on Paris to join
the imperial eagles on the plains of Italy. This
day will be memorable in the modern history of
Europe, for great events must follow. The people
of Paris seemed to feel the occasion, for they flocked
from all quarters of the city at an early hour and
took up positions all along the Rue di Rivoli up
to the Lyons Railway station. Every window
was crowded with spectators, whilst the path-
ways on either side presented one dense mass of
human beings so closely packed as to prevent the
possibility of circulation. Before the departure of
the Emperor took place, several carriages passed
over the Rue di Rivoli with the ladies and friends
of officers attached to the Emperor's staff and house-
hold. They all drove on to the railway terminus,
there to bid farewell to those nearest and dearest to
them. Prince Jerome and all the members of the
imperial family, the Ministers of State, and many
personal and particular friends of his Majesty, prc-
ceeded to the Tuileries, about four o'clock, to bid
farewell to the Emperor and console the Empress.
His Majesty observed his usual calm and confi-
dential aspect, saying a kind word to all who
approached him. The little prince was amongst
the group which surrounded the Emperor and
Empress, and appeared remarkably amused and
childishly delighted with the bustling scene.
There were about N o hundred persons permit-
ted to approach ti-eir Majesties on this occasion.
Exactly at half-past five o'clock the Emperor
mounted a magnificent charger at the foot of the
grand staircase of the Tuileries, dressed in the

uniform of a General of Division, and wearing the

cordon of the Legion of Honour. His Majesty
was preceded by the hundred guards as he rode on,

:hen came a few cavalry of the line, and. then a

carriage containing the Empress, and a second
vehicle with the ladies in waiting " Long live the
Emperor !" "Long live Italy !" burst from the lips

of thousands of well-dressed persons, and I heard
the same shouts echoed faintly long after the glit-
tering procession had passed out of sight. The

crowd was most enthusiastic.

The Cuirassiers of the Imperial Guard, quartered
at St. Germain-en-Laye, near Paris, are under
orders to-morrow to join the army at Lyons.
Admiral Jurien de Lagraviere proceeds with two
ships of the line and four large frigates to the
Adriatic, with a view to the absolute blockade of
Venice, and it is said the blockade of Trieste, so far
as Austrian vessels arc concerned.

Prince Napoleon's staff will quit Paris on the
lE.th for Toulon. The detached corps to be com-
manded by the Prince, and which is said to be for
the object of revolutionising Italy, will, perhaps,
land at Leghorn.

The Moniteur publishes the following imperial
decree, conferring the Regency on the Empress
during his Majesty's absence with the army:—

" Napoleon,
" By the grace of God and the national will
Emperor of the French, to all to whom these pre-
sents may concern, greeting ;
" 'Wishing to give to our well-beloved consort,
the Empress, marks of the high confidence which

we place in her;
" And as we are determined to place ourself a
the head of the army of Italy, we have resolved to
confer, as we do hereby confer, on the Empress the
title of Regent, for the purpose of her exercising
the functions of the office during our absence, in
conformity with our instructions and our orders,
such as we shall have made them known in the
general order of the service which we shall have
established, and which will be transcribed on the
State Register :
" We decide that the said orders and instruct:ons
shall be made known to our undo, Prince Jerome ;
to the Presidents of the great bodies of the State ;
to the members of the Privy Council ; and to our
Ministers ; and that in no case can the Empress
depart from their tenour in the exercise of the
functions of Regent;
" Furthermore, it is our will, that the Empress
shall preside in our name over the Privy Council
and the Council of 'Ministers. It is not, however,
our intention, that the Empress Regent shall au-
thorise, by her signature, the promulgation of any
Senatus-Consultim, or of any law of the State, other
than those which are now pending before the Senate,
the Legislative Body, and the Council of State,
referring in this respect to the orders and instruc-
tions above mentioned;
" We command our Minister of State to com-
municate these present letters patent to the Senate,
which will cause them to be transcribed on its
registers, and to our Keeper of the Seals, to have
them published in the Bulletin des Lois.
" Given at the Palace of the Tuileries this 3d day
of May, 1859. " NAPOLEON.
" Countersigned, ACHILLE FOULD,
" Minister of State."
The official journal also publishes a second decree,
conferring on Prince Jerome, in the absence of the
Empress-Regent, the presidentship of the Privy
Council and of the Council of Ministers :
" Napoleon,
"By the grace of God and the national will
Emperor of the French, to all who shall see these
presents, greeting:
"At the moment of leaving, to take the com-
mand of the army of Italy, we have, by our letters
patent of this day, confided the Regency to our
well beloved consort, the Empress, and we have
regulated for the period of our absence the order
of service by an act inserted in the State Regis-
ter, and made known to our uncle Prince Jerome,
to the members of the Privy Council, to the Coun-
cil of Ministers, and to the Presidents of the
Senate, Legislative Body, and Council of State.
"Wishing to give our uncle, Prince Jerome,
marks of the high confidence which we place in
him, and to facilitate to our well-beloved consort,
by the co-operation of his intelligence, his expe-
rience, and his devotedness to our person, the ac-
complishment of her mission, we have decided, and
we do hereby decide, that the Empress-Regent shall
take the advice of the Prince our uncle on the reso-
lutions and decrees which shall be submitted to
her ; we have, moreover, conferred on him, as we
do confer on him by these presents, the right of
presiding. in the absence of the Empress-Regent,
over the Privy Council and the Council of Mini-

sters.
" Given at the Palace of the Tuileries, the 3d
day of May, Isa 9. " NAPOLEON.
" Countersigned, ACHILLE FOULD."
The Moniteur says :—" During the time that
the Emperor will remain with the army his private
cabinet will retain its present organisation, and
transact business as heretofore. All petitions as
well as letters relative to private affairs or to pro-
positions of general interest, must be addressed to
the Emperor at Paris, and not to his head-
quarters."
Accounts have been received from the French
West India Islands to the 12th ult. The incendiary
fires have continued in the commune of Saint-
Pierre, Martinique, and at the very gates of that
town, the governor had declared the commune in a
state of siege. The Court of Assizes had tried a
planter, named Carry, for robbery and incen-
diarism, and condemned him to hard labour for life.
General Baroilhet de Poligny, inspector-general of
the marines of the different garrisons, had arrived
at Fort de France, Guadaloupe, from Cayenne.
The Moniteur de la Martinique states that the con-
tract entered into in November, 1858, for the intro.
duction of 10,000 Chinese labourers, will only be
carried into effect to the extent of two cargoes, as
the Minister of the Colonies wishes to see how far
that immigration may answer before it is effected
on a larger scale. The contracting parties had
consented to this modification in their original
contract. The screw transport Dahomey had
arrived at Martinique from the Western Coast of
Africa, after a long voyage of 46 days. Out of
441 emigrants, 82 died on the passage.
A Paris letter in the Independance says:—
" The Austrian merchant navy will suffer severely
from the forced interruption of its commer-
cial relations in the East and in all the Mediter-
ranean, which of late years have assumed an
enormous increase. At this moment most of her
Italian sailors in French ports refuse to serve, and
wish to declare themselves French, in order to
escape the requisitions of their captains and the
conscription to which they would be subjected on
their return. This fact was contradicted by a
semi-official note in the Austrian journals as regards
the Germans and the Illyrians, but it is strictly true
as regards the Venetians. The Austrian captains
—on the one hand seeing their crews disappearing,
and on the other the period fixed for their vessels
to leave France approaching—are in great per-
plexity. On any other occasion they would have
had recourse to the French authorities, but to do so
now would be ridiculous."
BOURSE, May 10.—The market has been very
dull, the Emperor's departure having checked
speculation. It has been announced that the amount
of capital which had been already subscribed in
Paris and the departments for the loan exceeded
1,100 millions of francs. Threes have been done at
from 60f. 75c. to 60f. 80c. ; Mobilier, 543 f. 75c. to

SARDINIA.
The following are further offici 11 bulletins from
Turin :

" No. 16.-I\LAY 7th, Morning.—The enemy has
evacuated Castelnuovo Scrivia, taking the direction
of Casei, Gerola, and Pontecurone. They have
loopholed the walls of the church Della Croce, and
are preparing to burn the bridge. Other French
troops have arrived at Turin, both infantry and
artillery. No important movement on the part of

the enemy. The powers of the Royal Commissary
M.
M Tecchio, are also extended to the province of

ivrea."

" No. 17th.—MAY 7th, Evening.—Yesterday,
the Austrians suddenly evacuated Voghera, leaving
behind the provisions they had exacted. Ponte-
curone is also tree. The wooden bridge on the
Scrivia, near Tortona, has already been repaired
by our troops. The enemy, in recrossing the Po at
Gerola, used the bridge they had built and which
they have since destroyed. Nothing new from
Valenza and Bassignana. A few cavalry soldiers
of the enemy have this day made their appearance
at Santhia. It appears from trustworthy accounts
that the Austrians continue their intention of for-
tifying themselves on the Sesia near the bridge of
Vercelli, in consequence of which they have pressed
900 workmen into th( it service, half of whom work
by day and the other half by night."
No. 18.—MAv Bth, Morning.—The clay before
yesterday Gen. Cialdini made a reconnaissance in
the direction of Vercelli, the result of which we
do not yet know. Our light infantry have made
some prisoners in the neighbourhood of Sale. The
shameful exactions of the Austrians still continue;
they carry on this war more as robbers than as sol-
diers. At Vercelli, in addition to 300,000 fr., they
have insisted on having all the leather in the place,
6,000 shirts, linen for an equal quantity, 100 ra-
tions of provender daily for five days, and 300 sacks
of rice. At Biella, one Enrico Dossena, of Pavia,
spy of the enemy, has been shot after being tried
by court-martial, and unanimously condemned."
The Piedinontese Gazette of the Bth contains
several decrees issued by Prince Eugene of Savoy,
lieutenant of the kingdom. By the first, no pre-
scription of time, however stipulated, shall have
the effect during the war of depriving any person
connected with the army of any right he might
possess; nevertheless, appeals and other matters of
legal procedure are to continue to be effected as
usual. After the termination of the war, the periods
agreed upon shall return into force, but ne
period can be shorter than two months. BY
another decree the copper money of France map
be received in Piedmont during the war, and is
to be considered a legal tender to an amount not
exceeding one franc. A third decree authorises
students to continue their studies privately during
the suspension of University lectures, so as to pre-
sent themselves for degrees as if they, had followed

the regular course.
The Piedmontese Gazette replies to the com-
plaints of the Nessaggere di Modena which w°
gave yesterday, that it has been stated in Bulletin
No. 3 of the war that the King of Sardinia con'
siders himself at war with Modena, first because
the Duke maintains the military treaties with
Austria, and secondly, because he allows Austrian
troops to pass through his territory, thus enabling
them to attack the Piedmontese territory.
A letter from Genoa of the 6th, in the Side,
says :-
4, The great movement of troops between Toulon
and Genoa has cet.sed during the last two days
65,000 French have disembarked at Genoa, and tiLe
number who have arrived in Piedmont by Susi), 7,,
estimated at 35,000. We are expecting ever.'
moment 4,000 or 5,000 cavalry from France, 0
that the French will have a good effective fel
to put in line against the Austrians. It rell,se
not be forgotten that, without counting t"r„
Italian volunteers of all countries, there a;
80,000 Piedmontese, perfectly disciplined, and 'ea-
sirous to combat by the side of our soldiers, arin
that of these 80,000 one-half at least have bee
under fire. Genoa ought to bless the arrival 1:0f
our troops. The officers who were obliged 0
leave France suddenly were not able to prei,eurs
for themselves all the objects necessary Tro

Genoa that mules, vehicles, and carts are bong
The first named have been brought from a dietesse
of 15 leagues, and have been sold for as much a
500 f. each. The environs have supplied oxen alliA
sheep ; whilst the soldiers of Giulay, who, as tiio
general states, have come to deliver Piedmont fr,°_,
the parties that oppress her, exacted on crossing
the the Ticino 200,000 rations, and imposed extraorala
nary contributions. The French army has Pi it,
a
ready money for everything, and has disburse
Genoa alone several millions. A Milanese who 'rived here informs me that the Austrian geeer4l Co
carefully disguise from their soldiers that Franco
has intervened in favour of Piedmont, telling the
that they will only have to combat the Piedinc
tese army, and that the French troops will rein°
behind the Alps."
"We have received," says the Nord, " fr
Naples and Palermo some rather interesting in i 4
ligence respecting the actual state of things,n,
these cities. In spite of the efforts of the Geve' of
ment to keep the public in absolute ignoraneeilio
what is passing in other countries, the news e end
war in the north of Italy had reached Sicily, eri
there, as everywhere else, crowds of runt,. Ae,
were eager to join the defenders of Italian in in
pendence, and were finding means to embark:ot
spite of the rigorous measures taken to Pr,e,lory
them. Naples has been subjected to strict in..„00
law, equivalent to a state of siege ; but the city That
perfectly tranquil, and the King had ordered ,s'eo
the theatres, which had remained. closed for tu
weeks, should be re-opened."

comparing the results of the last two or

MONEY MARKET lAND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The inquiries for discount accommodation are
still rather extensive, and there seems to be some
expectation of a further advance in the Bank rate
of discount to-morrow. It is observed, however,
that the pressure has been diminished, and that the
wihdrawals of gold. from the Bank have received
a check, in consequence of the supplies derived
from the recent Australian arrivals. The directors,
therefore, may not find it necessary to modify their
regulations at present. Full rates are, neverthe-
less, enforced. Bills of the highest character hav-
ing only a few days to run may be negotiated on
rather lower terms, but in other respects the market
presents a very firm appearance.

In the foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, no
material alteration took place, except in the rates
on Holland, which were slightly higher.
At the Bank of England yesterday there were no
withdrawals of gold, the continental demand being
for the present supplied by the arrivals from Aus-
tralia and America.

The Morning Star has arrived this morning from
Australia, with £34,632.

The Ceylon, which leaves to•morrow, will take
out £197,358 in silver for Bombay, and £50,000 in
gold for Malta, making a total of £247,358. Of this
amount £150,000 is forwarded on Government ac-
count.

Letters from Liverpool report that, in the Cotton
Market yesterday, business was moderately active,
and the previous advance was fully maintained.
The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. The
Railway Share Market closed steadily, and in most
instances a further improvement took place.
At the public sales of indigo, which commenced
Yesterday, 11,614 chests were brought forward.
The opening sale is thus described by Messrs. H.
W. Jewesbury and Co :
The biddings were slow and flat, neither buyers nor
sellers having determined how to proceed ; the disposition
of buyers was evidently not to bid except at a great reduc-
tion in price, consequently many parcels were withdrawn,
and the large number of 3,395 chests have passed, a small
quantity only has been sold, and those consisted chiefly of
ordinary Madras and Kurpah ; both home and foreign
buyers have acted with the same degree of caution. Bengal
qualities ruled 6d. to 9d. per lb. lower ; Madras par to 3d.
Per lb. lower, and Kurpah 6d. per lb. lower.

A special meeting of the propristors of the Gee-
long and Melbourne Railway Company took place
to-day—Mr. Potter in the chair—for the purpose
of considering the terms offered by the Government
of Victoria for the purchase of the above railway.
The Chairman having explained the advantages of
agreeing to the sale of the railway on the condi-
tions proposed by the Government, the resolutions
Were severally put and agreed to, an amendment
for the adjournment of the meeting to the 16th inst.
having been negatived. The terms are the follow-
ing :-
1, That an authentic statement of the whole expenditure
and liabilities be furnished.

2. That the assent of the proprietors be obtained.
3. That the Government be authorised to pay in cash for
the entire property of the company, such payment to be
charged on the sum of £8,000,000 already authorised by
Parliament for the construction of railways.
4. That, on notification of the terms proposed, a bill be
submitted to Parliament enabling the Government to carry
into effect the terms of purchase agreed upon.
long discussion took place about the neglect of
the Government in paying the interest, and a
resolution was passed on the part of the proprietors
relying on the Government of-Victoria paying up
all the interest in arrear under the terms in which
their proposition was first issued. The meeting
then adjourned.
The market for Public Securities continues quiet,
and the small amount of business transacted has
caused very little fluctuation. Upon the whole the
Funds are well supported, and the steady purchases
affected by the public occasionally produce symp-
toms of buoyancy. Consols are about 911 I for
rnmoney and account. Bank Stock is steady at 219.
The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 904
to
-1 ; the New 21 per Cents. are firm at 761 ;
Exchequer Bills at 20s. to 245. prem., and India
Loan Debentures at 931. The New India Loan
Scrip is marked 921 t, being 21 to 21 discount.
A fair amount of business is recorded in the
Foreign Stock Market, and prices, in most in-
Stances, are rather firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents.
are 63 to 66 ; ditto New, 53 to 55 ; and the 4 per
Cents. have advanced to 99-1 ; Austrian 5 per Cents.
to 401, Dutch 21 per Cents. to 581, ditto 4 per Cents.
-to 90 and 91, Sardinian to 73 and 76, Portuguese to
40, and Brazilian 5 per Cents. to 98, but the 41 per
Cents. have receded to 881 891, Grenada Deferred
to 41, Russian 5 per Cents. to 101, and ditto. 41 per
Cents. to 911.

' In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been very limited, prices, with one or two excep-
tions, being fairly supported. North Eastern (Ber-
wick) and North Eastern (York) have improved ss. ;
and Brighton and South Eastern, 10s. ; Caledonian
and London and Blackwall have declined ss. ; and
Lancashire and. Yorkshire, £1; Eastern Counties,
Midland, North British, and Oxford, Worcester
and Wolverhampton were at about former rates.
The Foreign undertakings have been very quiet.
Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares were dealt in at
5L and the New at 41, the latest quotations being
5 59 and 41 5 respectively.

In the Colonial Markets no material alteration
has taken place. Great Indian Peninsula are 93 to

DEATH OF SIR ARTHUR ASTON, K.C.B.—We
regret to announce the de ith of Sir Arthur Ingram Aston,
which occurred at his residence, Aston Hall, near Runcorn,
Cheshire, a day or two since. The deceased was a son of
the late Colonel Henry Hervey Aston by the fourth daugh-
ter and co-heir of the last Viscount Irvine, and was great-
grandson of the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Henry Hervey, who
assumed the name of Aston, and who was fifth son of the
first Earl of Bristol. He was born in London in 1798, and
received the degree of M.A. from the University of Oxford
In 1817. In April, 1819, he became attached to the embassy
at Vienna, and was made Secretary of Legation at Rio de
Janeiro in April, 1826. Nearly seven years afterwards,
namely, in January, 1833, he was appointed Secretary of
the Embassy at Paris, and was Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary at Madrid from February, 1840,
to November, 1848. He received the Order of the Bath on
returning to England.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.071
per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold,
it appears that gold is nearly 4-10ths per cent. dearer in
Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 4231 per mark, and the short exchange on
London is 13.1 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore about 11 per cent.
dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight
is about 110 per cent., which, when compared with the
Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is slightly in favour of England ;"and, after making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of into.:
rest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the impor •
tation of gold from the United States.
