The Italian question appears to be, at length
In process of adjustment without doing vic.
lence to that idea Of Italian unity which CARR
BALDI proclaims, and which it is likewise the aim
and the endeavor of Count CAvoUR TO carry into
effect. The obstacles that at present interpose
themselves to delay the complete accomplishment
OF the patriotic programme are the occupation Of
Veneta by the Austrians, and the resistance Of
tered by the Pope to any alienation of his tenn
poral sovereignty. third difficulty which for
short time wore serious aspect arose out
of the antagonism existing between the two
great leaders of the Italian movement-Gari
baldl and Cdvour. Fortunately for the reppta
ton of the noble but too impulsve soldier of
liberty, he has at length yielded to the earnest re-
monstrances Of his true friends He has not
only abandoned his avowed determination to lib
crate Nenetia, and to proclaim VICTOR EMMANUEL
King of U ited Italy from the steps of the Ouiri-
nal; but, as an evidence Of his loyalty to the SOW
ereign in whose name he has so often fought and
conquered, he has dismissed from office BER.
TAM, the most trusted and intimate and faithful of
ties, and has declared his own intention TO retire
from the contest as soon as junction of the Pied
moDtese forces, with the volunteers who have mar
shalled themselves under his standard, can be eff
fected. 1t may be doubted, however, whether
Victor EMMANUEL will consent to this act of self
abnegation on the part of the gallant man of
whose loyalty and devotion he has had so many
convincing proofs; but it is nevertheless apparent
that If the policy Of the Sandman government in
relation to Nenetia and the States of the Church,
should in reality be-as most persons believe it's
the best adapted to attain the end pro-
posed, it will no longer encounter the oppo-
sltion of GARGBALDI. So far, then, the danger
which menaced for brief period the success of
the Italian movement, has passed away. What
yet remains TO be done, complicated as matters
unquestionably are, may be regarded as sus-
ceptible Of diplomatic solution. The present
position of affairs admits of being very briefly
stated. In Naples, the rising hopes of the ad-
herents of the old Bourbon dynasty which had
been strengthened by the growing seriousness of
the quarrel between CAvoUR and GARIBALpI. and
by the success of the Neapoitan troops at Capua-
had subsequently been partially dissipated by the
tor and the Sandman Government, and must have
become still more depressed when the extent of
the victory, which had been gained by the Carl
baldians at Caserta, was publicly known. In
the Papal States, the various divisions of LANo-
RIciERE army have been routed at all points-the
temporal sovereignty of the Pope being restricted
to the city Of Rome and limited area immedi-
ately surrounding it. Austria still continues 70
pour troops into the territory of Venetia and
to strengthen its defences-content to let others
alone so long she is suffered to continue in I'M
disturbed possession of her last Italian dependency
1t is wise precaution, and may vet save the
Kaiser from the chance of again encountering the
Illuminating experiences of Solferino; whilst it
leaves the question Of the future of Veneta omen
10 negotiations; puts a check upon the insurrec
tionary spirit which is still rife in Hungary. and
averts the danger of general European war
With the recent victories gained by the Sardinians
IN the Papal States, and the not less signal triumph
Of the Garbaldians the Neapolitans at Caserta,
the Italian struggle therefore approaches towards
a termination. The fight of the young Nea-
politan King from Gacta, the only city that now
remains to him, caunot long be deferred: for
dinian troops, who hold complete possess
sion of Umhria, Viterbo, and the Marches and
Oh the other by the Garibaldians; whilst the deec-
ton Of his feet leaves him no hope of obtaining
either supplies or reinforcements by sea- Count
CAv0UR was consequently justified in declaring,
in his recent speech before the Sandman Cham
berS, that ''with the painful exception of Veneta,
ITALY is free" and that whatever nav be the
nature Of the complications that still exist they
are not such as admit of being adjusted by
the sword. The attempt to drive Austria
out OF Venetia, he alleges, would raise
"agains Sardinia formidable combination and
''endanger not only Italy, but the cause of free
"dom throughout the European Continent" and,
therefore, whilst viewing, not without indifference
the sorrows of the Venetian people, he expresses
the belief that their cause can be best served by
constituting strong Italy; for when that object
has been attained, 'the general opinion Of
'natons and Cabinets which is now opposed to
ia venturous enterprise will show itself favorable
''to that only solution Of the Italian question
(Which will forever close the era of wars and
revolutions in the South of Europe There
are also, be contends, many cogent reasons why
speced in the city where he has his see: but. even
If such reasons were not entirely satisfactory, TO
turn against the French troops in Rome those
arms (which the victories won by the assistance
''of France have plac cd in The hands of so many
Italians, would inflict Il stain of incratitude
'upon the brow of the country which long GEN.
"turies of suffering would not efface." The true
policy of the Italian people, he asserts, is TO
secure what has been already won, and to leave
TO time and the course of future events the uUes-
ton of Vcnetia, and of that small territory over
which the Pope still exercises temporal iurisdc-
ton. He sees more peril now to constitutional
liberty from the revolutionary spirit which ami
mates certain factions in Sicily and Naples than
from any other source, and he, therefore, calls for
authority 10 accept and to establish, by royal de-
cree the annexation of those Provinces of Central
and Southern Italy which, by universal suffrage,
may express the desire Of their populations TO form
an integral part of a United Kingdom of Italy.
Upon this bill he asks immediate action not only
because the exigencies of the case demand it. but
also that the vote may show whether the policy of
the Government meets with the approval of that
legislative body which can alone give to it moral

learn what response the Sandman Deputies have
made TO this frank appeal; but from the favor with
which the Ministerial exposition was received, and
from the fact that GARIBALpI has invited VICToR
EMMANUEL to assume the direction of affairs in
Naples and Sicily there can scarcely be any doubt
whatever that the bill will pass and that the vote
of confidence which CAvouR has solicited of the
Chambers, will be promptly and emphaticaly

The CHLDREN's AID SocIErY.-An appeal in be-
half of this admirable charity will be made to-mor-
row to the congregations of the various churches
of our city, and it is to be hoped that it will be
sponded TO by our citizens with even more than
characteristic liberaity. The claims of our own
people have been already too long overlooked, by
those who constantly and so generously con-
