were noored inside the Mole had TO shift their berths

Erening.-The bombardment is still kept up, with
only short intervals, especially from the castle where
the alterego of King Bomba III. reigns. There Is no
doubt that Admiral Mundy made very strong repre-
septatiops 10 the Neapolitan Commodore about the
bombardment, but they have not been listened 10.
Some parts of the town will have to be entirely rebuilt
the large shells having passed right through from Top
To bottom shaking those ibuilt constructions. Sew
era of the churches have in for their shre yet
all this useless bombardment hss not prevented the
soldiers from being by degrees dslodged from all their
positions in the town, with the exception OF the part
about the ROYAL Palace and their line OF communlca-
ton with the Mole. in the lower part Of the town
thew possess only the CASTILLO Amare and the Finance,
which is held by company or 30 oil soldiers MOST OF
the foreign subjects have taken refuge on board the
menofwar, and all the Consuls with the exception OF
Mr.. Goodwin, our own, who sticks like true Briton
TO his consular fag According TO all accounts there
is no comparison between the bombardment in 1873
and the present one. Then the NeapotaBs were salts
fed with sending or two shells every half-hour,
while they take just time enough 10 iet their guns
and mortars cool.
All those who came in this morning with Garibaldl
are dead-beat having had no sleep last night and
plenty of work since. The General himself Is reposng
on the platform which surrounds the large foun-
tain in the Piazza del Pretoria, where the committee is
sitting en- permanence. This committee, the same
which carried on the whole movement from the begin
ming has constituted itself as. Provisional Govern
ment under the dictatorship of Garibaldi. 1t has ap
pointed several special committees Tor the different
branches of its operations and provides as well az pos
sble for the many wants which occur every moment.
Considering the oppression under which the people
have been very little preparation could be made for
the emergency and everything has to be provided
under the pressure of the momentarms, far pos
sble, ammunition provision for the troops, hospital
wants and arrangements beside the great tact OF sats
fying every who wants or thinks he wants some
thing and listening to every one who has something
to saw or thinks he has. There is q great deal OF
goodwill on the part of the Committee, but mustsay
Il is not theoretically seconded by the Palermans
as one could have expected from their enthusiasm.
There ia semi. Oriental Laisse5 aLler about them,
which only produces ts of activity scarcely equal to
the moment.
AT our first entrance into the town there was good
deal of haste made about the barbados but as the
extension of the occupation constantly requires new
there is some difficulty in keeping them up
TO the work great many eUoiUds, but all preferrg
TO run about the streets to laying hard to the work.
Even the ringing of the bells, the most demoralzng
sound TO an army in populous town, can, in spite Of
all Djunctions, be only kept up in hts and starts 1t
the Southern incidence which soon gets the better
of all good dispositions
The town is illuminated, and presents during the
intervals of the bombardment an animated appearances
but all the shops are still closed The illumination,
with the antiqueshaped glass lamps suspended from
the balconies, presents very pretty effect, rather
heightened by the shells flying through the clear sky.
The following letter, dated the Both of May, gives
some new details respecting the cretes committed by
the Neapoitan soldiery during the bombardment of
Palermo:
Garbald really entered Palermo at break of day on
the 9TH with about 900 followers. He penetrated
into the city by the gate est to the palace Of the
Old Kings and overthrow all the Neapolitan soldiers
who attempted to stop his progress Having been sup
ported by 1000 men who came down from the noun
tans and the inhabitants of the city he made him
self master of Palermo. The troops opposed but fee
BILE resistance, and fled into the citadel board the
ships-ofwar in the port Ii was the military commander
who apprised the foreign Admirasnd Consuls that he
was about to bombardent. The consuls re-
tired on board the shpsofwar of their respective ma
TONS and bombshes andevery description ofincendiary
missile were fired against the town. The bombardment
lasted more than two DAYS and terrible to relate the
soldiers who had fed without fighting uttered shouts
Of Joy from the citadel at every house set fire. Cries
Of God save the kngl from the soldiers were mingled
with the screams OF women and the groans of the
wounded The Neapolitan monarchy has buried itself
under heap OF ruins and of dead bodies / am told
hat 600 Of the inhabitants of Palermo have persisted
during the bombardment. Let us hope that the num-
Der Is exaggerated. An American ship which has JUS
arrived brings the news that the Neapoltan soldiers
IN their retreat committed all kinds of atrocities. Hav
ing met the wife of Sician leader of insurgents who
was flying from Palermo, they covered her with tar
and then burnt her to death.
The Malta Times of the Cd of June gives the fol-
owing the leading items of the most recent events
rom which it will be seen that another party of pat
riots has landed at Marsala
Palermo was bombarded till Wednesday, Nav 30 at
midday At this moment Gen. Salzano asked for an
.rmistice of "a hours This was accorded by Carl
Dadi, after a conference on board the Hannibal at
which present all the captains of the shpsofwar
II the roads OF Palermo, Garibaldi himself, his son,
md Colonies Tur and Crespi. Before the term of "a
hours had elapsed the Neapoitan General asked for
hree days proongation of the armstice, which was
also granted BY Garbad, who ready TO extend it
wen 10 three weeks
The Royalists held the Royal Palace the Treasury,
md the Castle
~ the bombardment, well many other buildings.
All Palermo was strongly fortified with barrcades |
md Garbald had distributed large quantity of arms
md Munitions among the people.
Not the least doubt entertained of a complete
iictory in favor of the population.
We have also received private letters from which |
We make the following extracts:
