GENOA, August l2.-Yesterday morning the
funeral services OF the mother of MaZZini took
place in the church of the Carmine.
The church was crowded. A more sublime
and moving scene than The accompaniment Of

their peInants in the form OF cross, as q

from the GuIph and Lerici and the immense
body Of sailors, with the associations of the
boatmen of the port.
Many Genoese and foreign ladies carried the

which were deposited numberless wreaths, wO-
