Advices from Sicily announce that the
Napolitan army capitulated to Garibal-
di. The articles, which were signed on
board the British war steamer Hannibal,

slbuld quit Palermo with all the honors
Of war and embark, with their material
on board the Neapolitan squadron. The
evacuation was TO commence June 4th.-
A terrible and desperate fight, in which
many women participated, had occurred
previously, at the Stradio, which resulted
in the repulse ofthe latter, and the inme-
diate commencement the bombardment
from the Neapolitan squadron.
The above news reached Paris, June Cd,
and was fully confirmed by other Dispatch
es received the next day.
The London Times says that Garibaldi
is now master of the Island.
1t is asserted that Signor Carfa had de.
manded q guarantee for the territory of
the Two Sicilies and also the interven-
ton of the maritime powers. Piedmont
Is also asserted to protest against interven-
ton.

JOHN COVODES ANCESTRY.

The grandfather of the Hon. John
Covode of Pennsy ylvania, was picked up
at Amsterdam when child of three or
feur years, put on a vessel, and brought
to Philadelphia, where he was sold by
the captain as "redemptioner" until
he was twenty eight years OF age, the
captain giving him the name of Covode
He was sold to man in Chester county
by the name Of Miller He never learn
cd to read or write. After he had serv-
ed out his time he married the widow of
a British officer. the officer having died
at York. Pa. There was one son the
issue of that marriage, and the Hon
John Covode is the oldest son of that
sou, his father having died about the
time Of his first election to Congress
Some time since an effort was made to
trace the family in Amsterdam, but no
name Of the kind could be found there,
leading to the supposition that the Cap
tain gave the child nan c of his own
contriving. At another time the Amer
lean Consul at Amsterdam was asked to
inquire concerning child of that age
lost at that time, but SO many had been
carried off that nothing could be learned
of that family, and the search is now
abandoned

CHAUCER,s COUNSEL.
WRITTEN SHORTLY BEFORE HIS DEATH.

Flee from the crowd. and be to virtue true,
Content with what thou hast, though it be
., small,
To hoard brings hate-nor lofty things pursue
lie who climbs high endangsrs many fall;
Envy's shade that ever waits on fame
And of the sun that rises it will hide.
Trace not in life,s vast expensive scheme,
But be thy wishes to thy state allied.
Be mild to others-to thyself severe
So truth shall shield thee, or from hurt or fear
Think not of bending all things to thy will,
Nor vainly hope that fortune shall befriend;
Inconstant she-but be thou constant still.
Whateer betide. unto an honest end,
Yet needless dangers never madly brave,
Kick not thy naked foot against a nail;
Or from experience the solution crave,
lfwell and pitcher strive which shall prevail,
But in thy cause as in thy neighbor's clear,
So truth shall shield thee, or from hurt or fear.
Whatever happens, happy in thy mind
Be thou, nor at thy lot repine;
He Escapes all ills whose bosom is resigned,
No" way nor weather shall te always fine.
Besides, thy homes not here; journey this
pilgrim thou; then HE thee on thy way;
Look up to God; intent to Heavenly bliss.
Take what the road Affords and praises pay;
shun brutal lusts. and seek the souls high sphere
So truth shall shield thee, or from lust or fear.
