Mr.. ETERETT'S STATESMANSHIP.-A WASH
ington correspondent recalls attention to the fact
that the answer of Edward Everett when Sec
retary of State, to France, Spain and England,
upon the Cuban question matchless and re-
mains unanswered. The Democratic Review
hailed that paper the best that ever appeared
from the State Department. Douglas said that
if g Everett had done nothing else to render his
administration of the State Department illustri-
Gus, his name would live in all coming time in
that diplomatic letter, one who could appre-
cae the spirit of the age and perceive the destiny
of the nation.''

The REVOLUTION IN SlCiLY.-The London
Times speaking of this patriotic movement
says:
If the news holds true Sicily is lost to the
House of Bourbon. The object of Garibaldi has
evidently been to get possession OF the more dis
tan of the two great military posts OF the island
or of such portion Of it as he hold without
command of the sea. His friends do not claim for
him that there has yet been any important defec
nor Messna is fortified with view to defence
from an enemy coming from the interior. If the
King has lost Palermo, Messina must follow, and
there is not much chance of re conquest by the
present King of Naples. The impulse here is to
rejoice AS the news passes from man to man,
even among the most Conservative of English So
cieties or assemblies every face lights up with Joy
No one cares to wait and ask himself to what this
success can lead. He exults in the simple fact
that detestable tyranny is crumbling into the
dust. In these days, when nation must go as a
strong man armed, and when know
what the morrow may bring FORTH must udge
facts as they rise Thus far, the removal of the
tyranny of this King of Naples is in itself good.
What it may lead to cannot tell. That we
may soon see the French eagles circing and
swooping in this part of the world is very proba
BILE that new difficulties and new combinations
may be produced by this great gain to the inter
ests of humanity is very possible. Garibaldi may
be mixing up the elements of that great European
war which even Lord Granville last night showed
US in shadowy prospective; but, while he is fight
ing against such a'tyrany as that of Naples, we
cannot refuse him our sympathies, and cannot but
rejoice at his success

prince, the reis came to mo, saying =
" Having bound myself to protect you
lIadji, come to inform you that these
emissaries of the Nagib of March are

bCrs OF the caravan, from whom, doubtless
they will gather no favorable report

you stahd now upon the soil of the enc
mics of European civilization, yea, Of all
civilization Sana, which we have left
behind us, is the last settlement Of civil
lized Arabs; here, we are among the in
dependent tribes, whose customs, whose
laws have nothing in common with those
Of the Arabs of the west. 10 these Gus
toms and these laws, handed down to
them by tradition from time immcmorial,
they all hold, old and young, rich and
poor and so fearful are thew of bciur
tempted to change them by intcrcourse
with other nations, that no stranger * cv-
er welcome among Them They will put
you through an ordeal which it will re-
quire all your courage to sustain. May
you come out from it rs safely as you did

but also with firmness, should cireumstan-
