REGENERATED ITALY.

We copy the following from the Times of this
morning. Anything more deplorable than the
wretched condition of that unfortunate country
under its new regimeit is difficult to imagine :
The " accumulation of unpleasant incidents in
Italy," condensed in a single paragraph of the
letter of our Florence correspondent published on
Saturday, may be taken as a s'gnal illustration of
the aphorism that in very inveterAte complaints
matters must be expected to grow much worse
before they begin at all to get better. The news
from many parts of ernanciptted Italy continues to
be very much the same as it used to be in the Italy of
the old regime. It is the nine alm ;st daily chronicle
of startling crimes commni tted with the sate impunity
—murder and robbery stalking abroad, connived at,
and almost favoure I by the stolid helplessness of
the Government ani by the cowardly supineness of
the people. Wa do not know any other country
in Europe where the statistics of crime present
such fearful results. The G,tzzetta Militare publishes
monthly an official report of all the arrests effected
by the carabinieri or gendarmerie, a corps which
does not, however, constitute the whole of the
public force in the kingdom, as most towns have
a municipal police of their own besides. Agree-
ably to the last of these. bulletins, the persons
arrested were, in March, 5,749, of whom 220 were
charged with murder, 239 with violent robbery,
1,450 with theft, 816 with wounding, &c. In
April the apprehended criminals were 5,481 ; of
whom 297 were murderers, 227 highway robbers
and burglars, 1,440 thieves, &c. The frequency
and enormity of the offences are enhanced by the
character of their perpetrators. A depnty, G-enero,
a man of reputed unbounded wealth, is about
to be tried for forgery. The same charge has
been brought home to a whole gang of citizens at
Bologna, men belonging to the educated classes, a
doctor, several merchants, and even an inspector
of the police. Finally, a society of pugnalatori, or
" Brothers of the Dagger," the mere nucleus of the
scattered links of former associations, has estab-
lished itself in Ravenna and throughout Romagna.
Some of the recent achievements of this horrible
band seem to have created a deep sensation even in

Italy. A courageous man, the Piedmontese advo-
cate Cappa, had been sent among them, with a
strong determination to do his duty as a public pro-
secutor. He was threatened with the vengeance of
the murderous gang ; the threat was carried into
execution in full daylight, in the midst of a whole
population, within twenty yards of a sentry ; the
body was smuggled away by a few of his colleagues
and countrymen, " not a single member of the Ra-
venna municipality having the grace to join the
mournful procession to the station in sign of regret
or protest against the crime." It is here that the
most repulsive feature in those Italian atrocities
shows itself. The semi-official Opinione refers to
some recent report of the murder of a magistrate at
Konigsberg, observing, almost in glee, that assassi-
nation is " the order of the d by " elsewhere than in
Romagna. The Florentine paper is very welcome
to the benefit of the ter Toque argument. We
have occasionally very ugly agrarian cases in Ire-
land, it is true, and no lack of Fenian atrocities
both in Canada and in this country. But what
constitutes the material, and for Italy the damn-
ing difference, is that in other countries, Servia
itself not excepted, the Government has both the
power and the will to bring the criminal to justice,
and the people evince the utmost eagerness to help
the Government, while in Italy, through the fault
of the Government and the people, " assassins are
never caught ;" or even when caught there are
neither gibbets nor safe prisons to dispose of
them, no witnesses to prove their guilt, no juries
to convict, no magistrates, exc3pt a few martyrs
like Cappa, to prosecute them. " What is innst
disheartening," says the Per;everan:.l, the most
crelitable journal in Italy, " is the feeling with
which the intelligence of tlio arrest of the
assassin has been universally received—a feeling
crompted by the ex2erieuce of recent events of the
same nature. There will be no means of having
the man convicted,' was the common remark.
There will be no one to identify him ; there will be
numbers or persons to swear an alibi in his behalf.
The juries will have no min I, no heart, no ground
for a verdict. if the assassin has been really ar -
rested, his apprehension will only prove the impo-
tence of the Court, as his non-apprehension would
have proved the impotence- of the prosecution.' "
These are startling assertions, but fully borne
out by cases enumerated by the same journal,
all of the same description as the one mentioned
by our correspondent of the Sub-Prefect of
Imola, " assassinated in the street in the open
day, whose murderer was acquitted by a jury
terrorised by threatening letters." Men familiar
with the c3nditions of Romagna in Papal times
may recollect that Cardinals and Delegates
used to be shot and sta,bbe 1 in those cities as
freely and safely as prefects and magistrates are
at the present day. What we are now witnessing is
merely a fresh outbreak of very old disorders, nor
should we be astonished if the evil showed symp-
toms of even incro.sel importance, for social tran -
sition is inseparable from disorganisation. The bond
of religion, such as it was in old Italy, has been
loosened in the prolonged strife between Church
and State. E lucation is only at work for the
future, and in the meantime the law is in abeyance,
not only owing to the want of energy and courage
on 'the part of the Government and people, but
owing also to that false philanthropy and sickly
sentimentalism which foster among Italian legis-
lators the notion that leniency of punishment is
the only remedy against the frequency and enor-
mity of crime.

An American contemporary draws a fearful
sketch of the penal settlement to which American
felons are consigned. What Siberia is to Russia,
Cayenne to France, Fernando Po to Spain, what
Norfolk Island to E ngland, the Dry Tortugas are
to the United States. Situated at the southern ex-
tremity of Florida, these burning coral reefs, un-
shaded by a single tree, unrefreshed by a single
. source, bear no sign of human habitation save the
huts in which the wretched transports linger, and
the barracks in which the almost equally wretched
soldiers who guard them are sheltered. From
year's end to year's end the rays of an almost
vertical sun beat upon the Dry Tortugas with un-
remitting intensity ; yellow fever is ever rife there ;
and no animal life, save that of the prisoners and
their guard, is possible by reason of the absence
of all vegetation and fresh water. A prisoner who
had served out his sentence in the Dry Tortugas
and had been restored alive to society would be
welcomed at Barnum's Museum as a rare
curiosity.
Mdlle. Nilsson's remuneration for singing at the
Crystal Palace Handel Festival on Friday, and at
a private concert in Belgrave-square the same even-
ing, is said to have been £3OO.

The important trials of iron struct :apenft
find fortifications began on Tuesday at i&ebukinessel
They had excited great interest, and the attendance was
very large. By about eleven o'clock between 300 and 400
persons had collected on the ground, among whom were.
his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, Sir John
Pakington, General.Frome, chief of the Royal Engineer
Department, accompanied by his assistants, Calenel Jere
cols and Colonel Inglis, who had been most active in designs
ing the targets, Sir John Dalrymple llay,R.N.,Sirl'.. Grey
and his Fortification Committee, and a large number of other
military and naval officers, and many civilians interested
in such matters. Invitations had also been issued to several
foreigners of distinction, among whom were the Duke
d'Aumale, the Prince de Joinville, the Duke de Chartres,
the Count de Paris, and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar.
The structures to be Aired at were erected about 100 yards
within the low embankment protecting the ground from
the Thames, the front of the works facing inland. The
Plymouth target and the other casemates were in the
centre, flanked on either hand by the experimental wails
and plates. The experiments were under the direction
of the Ordnance Select Committee and associated
members, and the executive duties devolved upon
Coloisel F. Eardley R.A., commandant of
Shoebuuness, assisted by Captain Alderson, RA.,
and an excellent staff of working officers. The arrange.
meats made to preserve order and to ensure safety were
admirable. A number of splinter-proof buildings were.
provided, in which the visitors were required to take re-
fuge when the bugle sounded " Make ready," and the
" fire" was only given when everybody was safely under
shelter. The gun was then fired by the galvanic battery,
after which the effects were observed and recorded. The
chief object of Tuesday's firing was the Plymouth shield,
and the only gun used, with the exception of two rounds
from the American Rodman, was the largest of our rifled
guns—viz., the 23-ton gun of 12 inches bore, carrying a
Palliser-pointed shot of 600 lb. The charges were originally
intended to be such as would represent the effects at dis-
tances of 500 and 1,000 yards ; but as it was considered
desirable to test the strength of the shield with the full
power of the guns, the battering charge of 7011). of powder
was used every round. 'There were in all eight rounds
fired against the shield, five of which were directed against
the part to the right of the porthole strengthened by an
extra sin. plate in front, giving in this place 20 inches
thickness of iron. The other three were fired at the
thinner or 15in. side of the shield, The first shot hit the
sin. strengthening-plate about 3ft. from the ground, and
15in. from the right-hand edge, tearing open the narrow,
strip outside the shot. One bolt was driven several inches
inwards, and the inside plates and the vertical standard
behind them were slightly bulged : the shot penetrated
about a foot and broke up. The second round was a shell
of the same weight from the same gun, with a bursting
charge of 1411 b. This struck about 6in. above the port,
and exactly on the left edge of the strengthening-plate, so
that half the projectile acted on this plate and the other
part on the thinner part adjoining. In front no damage
was seen, but at the back it was found that the horizontal
iron "plank" over the porthole was broken in two on the
right-hand side of the port, and partly thrust backwards. The
bolts near the part struck were strained, but not broken. The,
shell did not bury itself deep enough in the iron to do
more mischief than a shot, as the bursting charge exploded
in the rear. The third round was a shot from the great
American " Rodman " gun, with a 15in. bore and a cast-
iron round shot of 4501 b. weight. The usual charge in
America for this gun is 601 b., but, as it is said to be some-
times used with 1001 b., it was determined to try it with
its full power, and for that purpose it was loaded with
8311 b. of our powder, which from its greater strength
is found equivalent to 1001 b. American. The shot
struck the strengthening-plate about 15 inches from
the bottom and a little to the right of the middle,
not far fr)m the shot of the first round. It cracked
the front plate, started another bolt, and bent the inside
layer of iron, doing altogether but little damage. The
shot rebounded and fell, much flattened, a few feet in
front of the target. It was of American make, and
appeared to be of excellent iron. As the last shot was
said to have grazed the ground before arriving at the
target, and thereby to have lost some of its force, a second
shot was fired from the same gun, also at the
strengthening-plate, which it struck five feet high and
one foot six inches from the left-hand edge. It made an
indent of eight or nine inches, cracking the plate through
to the edge, and knocking off by the shock from the
right-hand corner a piece of plate already broken by
former rounds. The inner planks near the porthole
were distorted, and an upright standard slightly bent.
The shot struck on a spot where the plates were supported
by one of these standards, and which was, therefore, a
strong place ; but the effect of both these rounds appeared
so small for the large charge of powder as to give but an
indifferent opinion of the power of this boasted American
weapon compared.with our own rifled guns. For the fifth
round the 12-inch rifled gun was resumed, and another
shot was fired also at the thickening plate. It struck
about Gft. high, and near the middle of the plate. It pene-
trated 13in. and broke a bolt, doing also considerable -
damage behind. It pushed out the middle layer of iron, and,
broke one of the horizontal planks of the internal layer, a
piece of which, weighing between 2001 b.. and 3001 b., was
violently projected about 100 feet to the rear of the target.
The three remaining rounds were aimed at the thinner
part of the target, representing what is actually in con-
struction for the forts, and fifteen inches thick. It was
intended that at least one of these should hit a part
between the upright standards, where the plates were un-
backed, but this Was not accomplished, each shot striking
a place immediately in front of the upright standards. The
sixth round was a solid shot, which penetrated about 10in.,
broke two bolts, and caused a bulge in both the back plates
and the standards. The seventh round was a shell,
which, like all the others, burst outside, and did little
further mischief ; and the eighth round was a solid shot
that caused a large bulge in the rear, projecting several
inches, and opening with a wide, star-shaped crack, the
standard also being considerably bent, though not broken.
This ended the day's practice. The Plymouth target had
received the fire of eight rounds from the largest guns
with the full battering charges, and, although it was a
good deal punished in some parts, it bad stood on the
whole very well. It was not penetrated by any of the
shot, nor had it ceased to afford protection. The worse lea-
tare of the day was the projection to the rear of the large
mass of iron in the fifth round, which would, of course,
have been a serious thing in actual warfare. We may
here mention, however, that the thick rope mantlet,
which was hung immediately in the rear of the shield, to
catch splinters and fragments, was not in its place, it
being probably removed with a view to facilitate the in-
spcction of the back of the target. To what extent this
would afford protection from large fragments of iron re-
mains yet to be proved. There are many other points in
the construction of the shield about which more experi-
mental information is required, and it is probable the
target will be fired at again, which will show to what ex-
tent it has been weakened generally by the battering it
has undergone. It was thought desirable before the
visitors left the ground to fire a shot from the large rifled
gun at each of the two single, unbacked, 15-inch plates
prepared for trial. The first of these was a rolled
plate 13ft. Gin. long, 3ft. sin. wide, and Isin. thick,
prepared by Sir John Brown and Co. It was set hori.
zontally . and supported at the back by standards exactly
representing those of the Plymouth target. The
shot was fired at the middle of the space between the two
supports, and struck fair in the middle of the plate.
Its sharp point penetrated about twelve inches into
the solid metal, throwing .up a bulge of two
or three inches at the back, with a slight star-shaped
crack. The other plate, 9ft. long, Oft. Gin. wide, and 15in.
thick, was supplied by the Thames Iron Company at their
own expense, and was made by hammering. The shot at
this was a failure, as it struck on the edge, and merely
carr:ed away a large fragment of iron. It was intended
that the trials of these single 15in. plates should compare,
not only with each other, but with the effect of the same
shot on the 15in. iron of the shield made up of three sin.
layers, but as the shield was, unfortunately, not hit on
any unsupported part of this thickness, no comparative
result was obtained.

Another death has resulted f►om the fall of the
cornice, which took place at Sheffield some time since.

A BOY SCALDING lIL COMPANION TO DEATH.—
A lad, named George Henry Wren, has been brought
before the Notts magistrates on the charge of scalding to
death a little boy, named Henry Ridgley, aged 5 years.
A short time ago deceased and prisoner were playing
together near a grating over a boiler at a silk mill in
Beeston. As the steam was being let off from the boiler
it issued through the grating, and the prisoner seized
companion and held him over it, thereby causing him to
be severely scalded. Medical aid proved of no avail, and
the poor little fellow died on Saturday night.

Tnu OANS COLLIERY.—On Tacsday five more
bodies were brought out of the Oaks Colliery, and con-
veyed to the dead house. They were found by the men
who were engaged in clearing the roads nearly together,
in the north-dip level, near to the place known as Jones's
Jinny. The colliery was crowded during the day with the
relatives and friends of the men at present buried in the
workings, and of whom there are upwards of 250 still
unrecovered. All the bodies were identified before n=7
hours elapsed as, those of Thomas Hyder, John Bradley
Gamber, Aaron Sissons, George Hoyland (son of Alfred
Hoyland, whose remains were got out at the same time as
those of Mr. Jeffcock), and Thomas Siddons, of Monk
Bretton, D94e4 were but slightly burnt
