COCHIN CHINA.

Accounts from Segon, in Cochin China, to the
12th July, say :—" The Emperor, being deprived of
the resources which he formerly obtained from
Cambodia, which is now occupied by the French,
has imposed an extraordinary tax on other parts of
the empire. That measure has created general dis-
content, and the Viceroy of Tonkin has, it is said,
made known to the Government that the Western
provinces have risen in insurrection; that the in-
surgents are masters of Tuyen Quang, an important
town of the Son-ray; and that if they were not at-
tacked they would soon be able to assume the offen-
sive and to march on Kecho, the town on which that
high functionary resides. It is not known what
the Court of Hue has decided on ; but if these in-
surrectional movements should become consolidated
and should spread they may cause great embarass-
ments, as on several occasions the rebels of Tonkin
have placed in peril the safety of the Emperor.
Intelligence has likewise been received at Hue
that the chiefs of the province of Laos refuse the
tribute which they have paid for nearly a century.
This refusal can only be ascribed to the fact that
they know the difficulties in which the Emperor
is placed. Bad as is the situation of the Court
of Hue, it cannot fail to become worse, owing
to the close blockade observed by the French.
The capital has no other resources than those
which it derives from Cambodia ; and when
the reserves collected there shall have been ex-
hausted, it will be exposed to a positive famine.
The Annamites had believed that the French occu-
pation would only be temporary; but they now
see that the French, from the measures they have
taken, mean to remain definitively, and to found a
great colony. That circumstance has caused them
to modify their conduct."

The war budget of Bavaria has been laid before
the Chamber of Deputies. It amounts to 12 mil-
lions of florins. The reporter proposed a diminu-
tion of 800,000 florins, which, after some remarks
from the Minister, was reduced to 600,000 florins.
The question of abolishing the lottery has not yet
come under discussion in the Chamber. The re-
porter, M. Decan Vogel, has not completed his re-
port, the conclusions of which will depend on certain
provisions of the general budget.

2HE GARIBALDI FETES AT NAPLES,

A letter from Naples dated Sept. 7, says :—A
brilliant morning rose upon us, and, as if to wel-
come it, the fleet now in harbour dressed out gaily,
and at midday salutes were fired and returned.
Private houses were everywhere decorated with
flags, but beyond this there was little ornament.
The stations of the National Guard and most of
the public buildings are dressed out simply and
gracefully. At the Marine barraAs an inscrip-
tion tells of the " unspeakable joy" with which
Southern Italy welcomes this auspicious day. San
Francisco Popolo is elegantly dressed with tri-
coloured hangings, forming curtains, as it were, be-
tween each pillar. _

- The fagade of the Palazzo Angri, the earliest re-
sidence of the Liberator, is more carefully decorated
than any other building. There are scaffoldings
for music erected in the various squares and be-
yond this art has done little more. It is a people's
fete, and they are to celebrate it after their own
way, spontaneously and inexpensively. The fete,
indeed, began last night with " Garibaldi's Hymn,"
which was sung at San Carlo, Cialdini being pre-
.o.t. As uguni, it was rooeived with enthusiasm
but the feature of the evening was the vociferous
manner in which the whole audience shouted
out continually " a Roma !" Shortly before 9
o'clock a deputation from the 117Grkmen's Society
went to the railway to meet the sick and wounded
Garibaldini who are in hospital in Sorento, and
who have been invited over here for the day.
I went to meet them towards the Carmine, and
found, as I have represented several times
before, that the people acted as though they had
been viewing a spectacle got up for their amuse-
ment, not as though they formed a part of it in
interest. Foremost bf the band wers a number of
the lowest class operatives, carrying flags with the
inscription of " A Roma" upon them, and at the
corners of the streets, by the by, were large placards
with the same words on them. A woman dressed in
Garibaldi uniform followed, carrying a banner with
a cross at the top and the following inscription :

" 1.N.R.1.
lOSEPHUS
NICEANUS,
RE DE MPTOR
'TALI 2E."

However blasphemous the comparison insinuated,
it awakened great enthusiasm, for Garibaldi is here
worshipped as no mortal man.
Then came the Garibaldini sick, and lame, and
maimed—about 40 in all—some on foot, others in
carriages, armless, or with their crutches by their
side. The various trades followed with their respec-
tive banners, and each had " A Roma " upon it. It
was the beginning of a pilgrimage to the Holy
City. As the Garibaldini entered the Teatro del
Fondo they were received with shouts of applause
and sympathy by the crowds in the pit and boxes.
But "Garibaldi" and "A Roma" were the cries
repeated continually—" A Roma con Garibaldi !'
but I heard not once, or scarcely once, the name of
the Re Galantuomo shouted. Who in the south
knows the King of the Alps P His Majesty must
come here and make himself personally known,
brave, and generous, and honest as he is. As the
procession entered the band struck up the " Hymn
of Garibaldi," and drove the people, as usual, nearly
frantic. There is a depth in the heartfelt enthusiasm
of an Englishman when he listens to " God save the
Queen" which I would not exchange for the mac:iciest
demonstrations I ever witnessed in Naples; but
Garibaldi's Hymn seems to deprive the people of
their wits. One would think they had been bitten
by the tarantula; and time after time it was called
for with the same enthusiastic shouts. At length
the curtain drew up and displayed the back of the
stage tastefully hung with banners, with the white
cross of Savoy, and a table, in the shape of a half
moon, with the principal members of the committee
of the Association of United Italy seated at it.
The chair having been taken, Signor Alberella, an
advocate, and a gentleman who is taking an active
part in evangelising the Neapolitans, came forward
and addressed the meeting with great eloquence as
follows :
" Citizen Workmen, and Gentlemen and Ladies,—Viva
Garibaldi 1 viva Garibaldi I Yes, viva Garibaldi I for that
name involves a recollection and a hope. After 70 years of
tears and blood, on the 7th of September, 1860, Garibaldi
gave us our liberty, and if we shout his name it is because
he personifies our actual wants. The Neapolitans are not a
people to be despised, they have in past ages been famous
in the arts, in science, and in arms, and have struggled
often against despotism. They wish now for an united
Italy under Victor Emmanuel, because so Garibaldi has
decided. This is the recollection ; now for the hope. " A
Roma con Garibaldi 1" Yes, with Garibaldi, for he is a pure
fountain in the midst of corrupt waters ; he has liberated us
from oppression; ho is the only disinterested man of the
day, and with him we will struggle for Rome for our capital,
ant Victor Emmanuel for our King, if he will be the King
not of a party, but of the people. The association is consti-
tuted, and let no man leave this room without giving his
assent to the motion that Rome must be ours."
I do not interpolate the speech with the enthu
siastic cheers with which it was received. I can
only give you an outline of it, but it was worthy the
reputation of the orator. A protest against the
continued occupation of Rome by the French was
announced, signed first by Garibaldi. Some verses
were then well recited, which were received with
immense applause, and Signor Minervini made the
first motion to the effect that Roma was the pro-
perty of the Italians :—" France had declared it,
Cavour and Ricasoli had declared it, and they knew
it to be their right." As soon as he had concluded,

a long speech, which was considered a fiasco because
it spoke so much of the French, a gentleman in the
next box to me improvised some verses, which were
well received, and then Albarella proposed a vote
in favour of an united Italy, with Rome for the
capital, under Victor Emmanuel, which was carried
of coursa by acclamation ; and so ended the meeting
of the Operation Society, or of the party of action.
The procession reformed outside the theatre, and
many ladies joined in it, and in this way they pro-
ceeded through the principal streets to the Garibaldi
Palace, and afterwards to the hotel where the Gari-
baldini are to be feasted. Here I leave them, or I
shall miss the post. I must tell you, however, of
an important arrest—De Cristen, who has cut such
an important figure in the border war. He was
arrested last night in an hotel, without a passport,
and came here, of course, for sinister reasons. Pro-
bably he has followers here.
