Triumph of the Instruction in Sicily-"-
GaribaIdf in Palermo

The news by the Niagara confirms the report
brought by the North Briton that GARBALDI had en-
tered Palermo and established his headquarters
there after a fierce combat and bombardment by
sea and land The results of this victory, says the
New York Herald are fatal to the royal cause Mes
siua and the other towns, which were held by sys-
TEN of terrorism only awaited the fall OF Palermo to
declare for GARBALDI Even the military and police,
bv which they were garrisOned, were known to be
so disafected to the government that 1t was conn
IDENTIFY expected that as as the news OF the cap
ture of Palermo reached them, they would at once
,,nite with the inhabitants in hosting the national
rolors. By this time, therefore, we may calculate
thai the whole of the island has been won over TO
the cause of the revolution. Thus will have ter
minated. so far as Sicily is concerned, one OF the
briefest but most glorious struggles that has ever
been fought in the name Of liberty.
The effect Of this news on the mainland and at
Naples continues the Herald, will be as disastrous
as half dozen military defeats. 1t will exercise
an electric influence on the population of Cala6ria,
already Impatient for rising and it is not likely
that they willhwait the arrival Of GARIBAlDI with
his little band of patriots Calabra once in arms,
the flames Of revolt viii spread with lightning
rapidity northward and the kingdom OF Naples
will be won by the influence Of name clone Ere
the hero of Varese places his foot on the mainland
the dominious of the Bourbons will have been
,yrested from their grasp, and these far possess
sions viii lie at the disposal of a man who, from
being nameless adyentureT has risen to the lore
most place in the respect and admiration OF the
world. We're his personal ambition equal to ms
5ar,no we have no doubt that the gratitude OF the
7,aople whom he has liberated would accord to him
the highest dignites in their power to bestow His
work accomplished, and the consolidation Of the en-
tire italian people effected, he will, however like
rr,,rr.,,,Trs. seek tie modest retirement which
forms the most appropriate termination OF SO DIS
interested aud glorious a career.
Il will he curious to note the effect which this
rorDt success of the Sicilian nsurrecuon, and the
results bv which it will be followed IN Naples will
have on the French ministerial press We suspect
that the rapidity Of its progress viii have somewhat
sarqroed the calculations of LOUIS NAPOLEON lhere
are no longer any means Of keeping GARIBNLDi 10
