From the Banner.

CoRREcTIoS.-In the article of yesterday in ref
erence to the abolition paragraphs copied into the
Banner from the New Hampshire Patriot, the last
two sentences should have read as follows:
We do not know the exact date Of its publication,
but 1t was within the last tcslve months We have
seen the paragraph in several Northern Democratic
papers, IN which it vas copied to prove that the
Democratic party was not pro.slavery party.
We are perfectly satisfied that the Banner will be
called on to make second correction in this case

II Malakoff, the correspondent of the New
York Times, writing from Genoa, on the 10Th
ult, says:
The most excitable rumors prevail in regard to
public affairs, here al elsewhere. There can be
no doubt that Victor Emanuel is far from being
satisfied with the result Of the war Not that he
is not grateful to Napoleon for the immense sacri-
fee he has made in driving the Austrians out Of
l.ombardy, but he had fixed his heart on more
than this he believed that the future interests Of
the country demanded more, and he had promised
his people still better things. The King, it is
said, does not for moment believe that the affairs
Of italy are settled on solid basis and he has al
ready given orders to commence recognizing his
army for future contingencies. With the aid Of
the Lomhards, now his subjects, and an organ
lied revolution in the States comprising the new
Confederation, he hopes to he able to finish the
work commenced by Napoleon. The
port Of Genoa now contains about $50 transport
ships lying snugly together in squares and streets
In the little har Dor, awaiting orders. the French
have here an immense amount Of provisions; the
sacks Of wheat and iour appear to be numbered
by the million, and they continue to transport
them toward the camp this side the Mincio.
There is but little travel, and with the exception
OF officers, the hotels see but few travellers
