LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1861.

DEATH OF COUNT CAVOUR.

Terrible News comes to us immediately before
our going to press—news flashed to England
through the submarine telegraph—Death at seven
o'clock this morning, the 6th of June, 1861, of the
Count CAVoUR, Italy's first and foremost Statesman!
Count CAvoun had been ill during the last few
days we all knew—he had been prostrated recently
by typhus fever : and we had heard from day to
day with a feeling of dismay that he was being
bled again and again according to the old idiotic
system of an almost obsolete school of physicians—
that he had been bled once, twice, thrice—actually
as many as six times altogether!---even more,
Count CAVOUR., we are grievously afraid, owes a
great deal to Doctor SANGRADO.

And the tidings of his death, while it is about
the worst news possible for tht cause of Italian
Unity, will, if merely through sympathy for that
cause, carry profound dismay and anxiety to all
the various countries of Christendom.

Here was a man who might have untied the
Gordian knot of the Italian Difficulty.
Now that he is gone that knot will have to be
cut by the sword.

And who shall say—looking to the black-
ness of the inscrutable future—whether, in the
severing of that Gordian knot, VICTOR EMMA-
NUEL, or FRANCIS JOSEPH or NAPOLEON, iS to
enact the part of the new ALEXANDER? GOD
knows ! The destinies of Italy are now trembling
in the Balance.
Connt CAvoun. has died, having been bled six
times. How many times will Italy herself have
to
.bleed now in consequence of this one man's
disappearance? His vigorous hand alone kept
well together the reins of' the KING'S Government.
his astute mind alone discovered the way through
numberless difficulties for the King's Government.
Careless though CANOUP. was in principle, flexible
and elastic though his conscience—it must be
remembered of him (in spite of Savoy and
Nice, and other dark blots on his political
escutcheon) it must in justice to his memory
be born in mind in his regard that only under his
Premiership was it proved at length to be possible
that the life-long dream of CHARLES ALBERT could
be actually realised by VICTOR EMMANUEL.
CAVOUR dies when his work is but partially done.
But already he had lived to falsify the haughty
sneer of Prince METTERNICH—he died not, until
he had shown to all Europe that Italy was
something more than a geographical expression.
The accounts brought to us by Mr. REUTER'S
Telegram—the brief but exquisitely touching
accounts flashed to us under the waters of the
Channel—telling of the emotion of the vast
crowds assembled round the Great Minister's
hotel where he lay dying, of the agitation ex-
cited among that crowd when the procession
Passed through its midst, bearing the sacraments of
the Chnrchto the bedside of the expiring statesman
—recall to mind the scenes witnessed a few years
since down at Whitehall when our own Sir ROBERT
PEEL lay in anguish slowly breathing his last after
his fatal accident. The critical position of the
affairs of Italy remind us, directly afterwards,
however, that a more exact resemblance would be
found rather in the signs of general dismay which
accompanied the death of MIRABEAU in one of
the greatest among the many great crises of the
French Revolution.

Sir JoHN MELANIN Y avowedly took on himself
the responsibility of giving Mr. SOTTIERON EST-
COURT and his friends an opportunity of corn
pleting a Church Rate Compromise Bill. The
active promoters of simple abolition have, however,
deemed it necessary to state to their supporters that
they do not believe a compromise
possible. The
fact seems to be that, though Sir 7oliv TRBLAWN Y
and his more energetic supporters differed
z,.„0
tactics, and as to the time for the third reading,
they entirely agree on the main point that aboli-
tion is now the only choice open to Parliament. Sir
