PEOPLE OF SICLY-With a heart deeply moved
| set foot on this iustrious isle, which formerIy-
an augury, as it were, Of the present destines of
italy-had for its prince of my ancestors; which
IN our own day elected for its king my Iamented
brother; and which to-day unanimously summons
me to extend to it the benefits of living in freedom
and national unity.
Great things have been effected in q short time;
great things remain to be done; but have faith
that with the aid of Cod and of the virtue of the
Italian people, We shall accomplish our magnani-
nous undertaking.
The government which come here to inaugu-
rate will be government preparation and of con-
cord. Sincerely respecting religion, it will pre-
serve intact its ancient prerogatives, which are
both an ornament to the Sicilan church and safe
guard of the civil power; it will found an admins
tration which shall restore the moral principles of
a well regulated society, which shall by unceasing
economical progress renew the productiyeness Of
your shores, and which shall thus render profta
Bile to all the gifts which Providence has largely
scattered over this privileged land.
Sicilians, your history is the history of great
deeds and generous aspirations; now is the time for
you. as for all the Italians to show to Europe that
while we know how to conquer independence and
liberty by valor, know on the other hand how
to preserve them by unanimity and the civic vir-
tues.

OUTRAGEOUS PRoCEEDINGs.-We have heard
the following account of an occurrence in the
Twelfth District of this county, which caused
Gh tae death OF young man named David
SHAW. 1t appears that some young men re-
siding near Harewood had sent word to Shaw that
there aetter in the post-oice at that place for
him, and if he would meet them at a tavern kent
by man named Howard, near the post-ofice, on
Saturday night, they would bring him the letter.
He went to the tavern, but there was no letter
there for him. The young men then persuaded
him to drink, and finally took some whiskey mixed
with SCOT it is said, and forced it down his throat,
in the manner known as "drenching." He finally
became insensible, or "dead drunk" when some
OF the party brought him home, and put him over
IN his fathers yard. Saturday night was cold, and
on Sunday morning he was found in an almost fro
zen condition. lie was taken into the house and
warmed and rubbed, and finally recovered suE-
GENTLY to give an account of the proceedings.
But on Sunday night he was taken with fits of vom-
iting, and died on Wednesday. We understand the
matter will be, or has been, investigated by the
Grand Jury. The parents of Shaw are very re-
spectacle people, and the young man, who was aged
about 20, was well dsposed.-BaLtimore County Ad-
