A letter from Leghorn of the 28th ult. states, that
quarantine continues to be enforced there with regard
to ves3els from Marseilles.

Th. Risorgimento of Turin quotes a letter from
Florence, of the 26th ult., relating the following oc-
currence :

" On the preceding evening a tailor, named Gen-
tili, well known for his Conservative prilciples, hap-
pened to step out before his shop for air, a chronic
disorder in his windpipe obliging him to do this often,
and moreover to gasp violently, which gives his face
a ludicrous expression. An Austrian officer happen-
ing to pass by at that moment, thought the tailor was
making faces at him to insult him, and getting into a
violent passion, ordered two Austrian soldiers who
happened to be passing to arrest him. The poor fellow
was taken to the guard-house, where the officer, who
had followed, further vented his rage by striking him
with his fist and kicking him mercilessly. A large
crowd assembled ; the tailor tried to escape ; but the
officer, on leaving the guardhouse, was followed with
invectives and cries. An Austrian patrol was sent
to disperse the multitude, but without effect. At
last a Tuscan patrol came up, and succeeded by per-
suasion in inducing the people to retire."

The Tempo of Naples, of the 25th ult., gives an
account of the celebration of the birthday of the
Queen of England there on the preceding day. The
two British steamers in port hoisted the British and
Neapolitan flags, and the Neapolitan squadron re-
turned the compliment. Mr. Temple gave on the
occasion a grand dinner to the diplomatic body, and
the members of the Neapolitan Cabinet were present.

STEAM COMMUNICATION BE-
TWEEN GALWAY AND NEW YORK.
GALWAY, SATURDAY, JUNE 1. This morning, at
forty minutes past nine, the Viceroy steamer sailed from
this port for Halifax and New York. The event has
been for some time looked forward to with the utmost
anxiety, and for several days the Galwegians have been
in a perfect frenzy of excitement at the prospect of the
first Atlantic steamer leaving their harbour. If enthu-
siasm on their part could hare any effect, the Viceroy's
trip would not fail of being the shortest on record.
The arrangements of the directors of the Dublin,
Cork, and GI i.gow Steam ship C nnpany, to whom
the vessel belongs, were conducted in a manlier
that refl,-cts no small credit upon them. Everything
went off without the slightest confusion or bustle.
The Viceroy left Dublin on last Monday evening, and
'steamed round here, a distance of 370 miles, in
40 hours, encountering, as I am informed, very rough
weather. On her arrival in Galway she anchored in
the road off Mutton Island, from which point she
started this morning. So far as the weather went,
every omen was in her favour. The morning was
beautiful, the wind very light, but what little there
was was blowing i'cem the S

off from the Dock-pier a gun was fired from the
• shore, answered by one from the Viceroy, as she lay,
with her steam up and her anchor "short apeak ,
and the moment the mails were removed into the
ship she weighed and steamed out, amidst the
cheers of the vast crowds assembled on the piers
and quay, as well as on every available spot along
the shore, and also from the crowd of boats in the bay.
Yesterday the directors of the steam-ship company,
all of whom attended here, entertained the members
of the County of Galway Club, and the friends of the
undertaking, at a very handsome dejeuner, on board
the vessel. The tables were laid under an ample
awning on the quarter-deck, and the feast was
graced with the presence of a large number of ladies,
who appeared to enjoy the proceedings highly. In the
evening the members of the club gave a dinner, at
which the directors of the steam-ship
company,as well
as those of the Midland Great Western Railway Com-
pany, were the guests. Mr. Persse, the High Sheriff,
presi(led as chairman ; the vice-chair was occupied by
Lord Dunsindle, and the other places
around the table
were filled by the most influential men in the county.
65 persons were present. Amongst the guests
were
Mr. Joseph Boyce, the chairman ofDublin,

Cork, and Glasgow Steam-ship Compa

Last night the town was illuminated, and a display
of fireworks took place.
The sailing of the Viceroy from the port of Gal-
way is an experiment. 'Whether it will be a success-
ful one or not is another matter. She has powerful
rivals to contend with ' • but, although she has long
odds ogainet her, she has bad a fair start, at all
