AQUATICS.

ERITH.-A subsmiption having been entered into by
several gentlemen in this place for the purpose of testing
the different sailing qualities of the resident owners' yachts,
and a committee having been formed, a matoh took place
on Tuesday the 23d inst. from Erith round the Ovens
buoy and back. The morning was hazy with scarcely a
breath of wind ; the following yachts mustered :
Sappho .. Mr. Michael Hind.
Spartan Mr. H. Wyatt.
Selina
Arrow.
The committee accompanied the match in the Sapphire
(cutter), Mr. W. P. Penn kindly consenting to act as com-
modore for the day. The signal gun for starting was
fired at eleven a.m., the Sappho making the finest start,
having displayed great activity in being the first to
spread her canvas. In nearing at Clement's reach, the
Sappho was considerably ahead of the Spartan, followed by
the Selina, with the Arrow about half a mile astern; and
on rounding the Ovens buoy they were timed as follows :
H.M.

Sappho .. 2 11
Spartan
Selina
Arrow
On the return the Spartan (at Broadness point) passed the
Sappho—all yachts working well to windward, the same
position being maintained until nearing the flag buoy at
Ell; when, owing to the excellent handling of the Sappho,
she rounded the buoy first. and was declared the winner.

THE STATE OF ITALY.

(From the Tunes.)

It would appear that the unanimity of the
Italian people is not satisfactory to the Liberator
of Italy. In the midst of their enthusiasm Parma,
Modena, and Florence are under the presentiment
of some heavy misfortune. The sun that first
warmed them into action is retired behind a very
dark cloud. There is a certain chilling severity
about the countenance of the Liberator. He is not
a man who likes to be trifled with. People ought
to understand other people better. There is a
certain delicacy of expression and phraseology of
high disinterestedness which is never intended to
be taken quite literally. The barrister and the
physician enter into the minute circumstances of
the client's or the patient's case, and tax all their
energies to gain his cause or to kill his disease. It
is all done from the purest motives. It would be
unworthy of these liberal professions to suggest the
idea of any sordid recompense. Yet everybody
knows that there is a certain something which.
although veiled in the obscurity of that learned
word " honorarium," has a metallic sound and a
yellow complexion ; and everybody is well taught
that if the ceremony of the honorarium be delayed
or intermitted the careful attendance and the con-
soling sympathy will not long endure. These Italian
Duchies do not seem to know the rules of good
breeding in such matters. In spite of due warning
given them from all parts of Europe they actually
believe, or are proceeding as though they believed,
that it was entirely for their beaux yeux that the
Emperor of the French undertook to spend some
£20,000,000 and twenty or thirty thousand French
lives. The service has been done ; Austria has been
made to decamp, the Grand Dukes are in exile, and
the powerful ally has gone back like a 'gentleman
to his own country again, leaving only some 50,000
men inomentainement to occupy Lombardy. So
far as the Duchies are concerned nothing could
possibly be better than his whole behaviour. But
now comes the turn of the Duchies. The Libe-
rator stands silent with his hands behind his
back. What makes him so silent and so
reserved ? Why does he so evidently expect
something to happen behind his back ? Gentle-
men of Tuscany, you have forgotten the usual
thing,—you have omitted the ceremony of the
honorarium. Montanelli and Parra reminded you
of the necessity in vain. That silent figure is a
wronged man. Even we rough, frauk, candid Eng-
lish do not, when a gentleman tells us that he is
our " most obedient, humble servant," take him at
his word and send him our boots to black. Ye
Italians, so delicate in finesse and so fine in policy,
have not surely been guilty of the cheat of pre-
tending to take words of ceremonial for words of
meaning ?
It is pretty clearly the opinion of Prince Ponia-
to wski that his master has been " done," and he by
no means disguises that opinion to the Tuscans.
Everything had been so studiously left open for the
Tuscans to do what was proper. The Sardinian
Royal agents were all withdrawn, trustworthy
Frenchmen were not absent, the freedom of election
was guarded vigilantly ; but unaccountably the
electors would not elect. The Tuscans by their
awkwardness have left the Emperor only a choice
between ridicule and a crime. He must either
accept his position, or use or permit coercion. The
Tuscans, however, com:)lain that there has been no
awkwardness on their side, that in full innocence of
heart they believed they were to be free, and have
used their freedom with a well moderated exulta-

tion. They do not see why they should have
changed the rule of a stranger whom they did not
like for that of a stranger whom they hate. When
one of the old bucan niers was rescued bv some Cal ibi
from the hands of his white brethren who were
going to hang him, he rejoiced, until he found that
his deliverers had rescued him and were fattening
him only that they might eat him. Tuscany protests
that she desires neither to be hanged nor to be
eaten, and all parties think her, in this, perverse
and unreasonable. Austria concentrates her forces
at Mantn a, Sardinia receives orders to withdraw from
all active assistance, and the Emperor Napoleon is as-
serted to have declared that he cannot prevent the
armed interference of Austria to carry out the terms of
the treaty of Villafranca. These rumours, which must
be no more than rumours, which cannot have any
foundation in reality—have spread blank con-
sternation over the faces of the Tuscans. So much
the worse for the Tuscans ! All Europe has ad-
mired them for what they have not done, and for
what they have said. It remains, however, to be
seen what they will do. It unhappily seldom hap-
pans that prudence and moderation alone are suffi-
cient to raise a nation of dependents into a nation
of freemen. To be free a nation must fight, or at
least must show itself ready to fight. " Blank con-
sternation" will do no more than blank cartridge.
The Tuscans and the Modenese and the Parmesans
must do what all nations have done who are now
free and independent—they must make manifest
that they are ready to do that thing which it has
ever been so hard for Italians to manage—that is
to say, to fight for themselves. They must not
lie down and wail, and hope for Germans and
English to come and fight for them. They must i
not hope to hire a new Sir John Hawkwood.
They must not hope in a political knight-errantry
which never did exist, nor in the mercenary aid of
Free Lances, by which their country has in all ages
been torn and weakened and enslaved. If Tuscany
is not ready to fight for her freedom, if her citizens
are still as soft and feminine as when they used to
hire foreign ruffians to fight out their civil broils, or
to settle their quarrels with Venice or Milan, she
had better yield at once, and say no more about it.
Slavery, or at any rate political submission, is her
• natural and proper condition. When a people re-
nounces the dangers of freedom it abdicates the
right to be free. This is the language that has
always been held to Florence, but generally held in
vain. It is five centuries since Petrarch prophe-
sied the resurrection of Italy by means of Italian
valour—

" Virtu contr'al furore
Prendera I'arme et sia it combatter curto
Che l'antico valore
Negl'ltalici cuor none ancor morto,"
but the valour has not yet been found to verify the
prediction. It is nearly four centuries since their
great countryman Machiavelli showed the Floren-
tines that all the misfortunes of Italy arose from
the national habit of fighting by proxy. Every one
must remember the brilliant description by Lord
Macaulay of the over-refined Italian, who was far
too civilised to do such vulgar work himself, and
who hired barbarians to do it for him. Are the
Tuscans of to-day only what the Tuscans of a
thousand years before have been ? Then, all our
admiration for their calm attitude and excellent
behaviour will vanish. People who do not intend
to fight had better be calm. But we hope for better
things. We have seen the Sardinians fight well :
and even the Romans against hopeless odds fought,
out a hopeless fight. Have the Tuscans also un-
learned their habits of effeminacy, and has their
love of freedom so strung their nerves that they
can look upon Alistrian bayonets without blench-
ing ? It may be that this trial is yet in store for
them. It is quite certain that if they show them-
selves ready to submit rather than make a despe-
rate resistance against odds they will be quietly
extinguished.
Whatever may be the policy of the two Em-
perors, Tuscany and her associated insurgent States
can never hope to have a better opportunity for
Italian unity than now offers. In Garibaldi they
have a man who has given unnumbered proofs of
his patriotism and his devotion—a man of the true
Washington stamp—such as is reproduced only at
rare intervals and for great results. If with the
unexampled advantages they now possess they
cannot hold their own against Austria, even should
Austria be allowed to make the attack, they can
never hope upon any occasion to defend themselves.
They are led by a man who has not been accus-
tomed to count chances too closely when great
destinies are at stake, and if it be possible to ani-
mate a Tugcan population to fight for themselves
this leader will do so. The Austrian blow, even if
it should be allowed to fall, will be feeble, for it
will be delivered amid the execration of the whole
civilised world. The French troops may be re-
strained from any intervention and may perhaps
look on with silent indignation, but no one can
doubt where their sympathies would be. That the
Austrians will be allowed to invade these Duchies,
where they have no more right than they have in
Yorkshire, we cannot believe ; that French troops
will ever be employed to effect the restoration of
the fugitive Sovereigns we utterly disbelieve. But
it is to the conduct of th 3 Italians we are now
looking. However ill their ally or their enemy
may behave, the loss and the disgrace will be that
of the Italians if they should now fail to defend
themselves by arms in the exercise of those rights
' I of which they have just possessed themselves.

THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION.--A Berlin letter
says :—" The resolutions lately adopted at Eisenach rela-
tive to the formation of a national German party charged
to prepare federal reform are not to be published until the
28th. The lational Gazette, however, the editor of which
attended the last meeting, is publishing a series of
articles setting forth what should be done, and it
appears from them that he is of opinion that for
the moment important propositions ought not to be
presented to the Diet, and that no pressure ought to be
put on the Prussian Government, but that before all the
nation should be enlightened. Voss's Gazette expresses
itself to the same effect, and calls on Prussian patriots, as
members of the German nation, tot ake part in the move-
ment. The petty States for their prt are anxious that the
as possible to some
question should be brought as quickly
practical issue. Some of these States think that it is de-
sirable to conclude a military convention with Prussia,
and another convention relative to a national representa-
tion."

INDIA-OFFICE, AUG. 24.
The Secretary of State for India in Council has received
the following paper :

Fort-William, June 3.
The subjoined notification is to be substituted for that
published in the Gazette Extraordinary under date the 22d
of April, 1859.
The 2d battalion Military Train is under orders for im-
mediate embarkation for England.
The career in India of this corps has been short but bril-
liant, and eminently serviceable to its country.
Upon arriving at the presidency, it was at once converted
into a cavalry force, and sent untrained into the field.
Throughout the glorious campaign in Oude the Military
Train bore a part which would have reflected credit upon
the oldest and most experienced cavalry soldiers.
It has served with distinction in various affairs under
Lieutenant-General Sir James Outram, at the capture of
Lucknow, in the operations about Asimghur, and lastly in
the harassing campaign of Shahabad.
The Military Train leaves India with the best wishes of
the Viceroy and Governor-General in Council, for the
future honour and prosperity of the battalion.
A salute will be fired from the guas of Fort Williams on
the departure of the corps.
R. J. H. BIRCH, Major-General,
Secretary to the Government in India.
