DEATH OF UGo BAssI.-We translate the fol-

Bassi one of the most eloquent of the Romish
priests, who preached against popery in the late
struggle in Italy, and the chaplain to Garibald:
lie remained with his chief after the occupa-

Pope; traversed Italy with the united forces of Ga
Lbaldl and Forbes, who effected their junction at
Ierni, and dsdaning the summons to Law down
their arms, endeavored to cut their way to Venice

nlght and day by the enemy, were eventually re-
duced from 5000 to 2000 and surrounded by 10000

OF troops were marching upon them, and it was
necessary to come to determination at once. The
proposal to deliver up their French comrades to
certain military execution was unanimously re-
jeced, and the determination taken to cut their way
out. The resolution was Immediately put into Ell

their adversaries Garibald and Forbes were
separated in the confusion; the one got through
with about two hundred followers, and the other
with somewhat less. The pursuit was hotly car

united again, and, with the loss of some few of
their number, made good their retreat on board

rBs sourHERx QuARTKRLY REVIEW FOR APRib.
This is an interesting number, and contains an
unusual number of articles on subjects of general
interest, and less Of Southernism The fist article,
on the Law Reform of Missouri, is an able argu-
ment in favor of simplifcation of the law and the
repeal Of the cumbersome antiquated system Of
special pleading. In South Carolina, where this
still prevails, the essay will be read with interest,
and we trust with profit The second article is on
the Gold Mines of California. The text will make
all read the sermon.
The article on Navigation Laws is an examina-
ton of the Navigation laws of Great Britain and
America. The article contains great deal of in
formation, valuable in Its connection with the
commercial resources Of this country. The Rela-
tons of England and Spain gives a clear and sue
cinot account of the difficulties which exist between
these two powers, and throws much light on the
perplexed subject of Spanish politics. There are
several other articles but those we have men,
toned are the principal.
