LATE FROM EUROPE a..

Late arrivals at New York from Liverpool
and Havre bring news to the 9th of June.
GENOA, 26th-News has been received here that
the Dictator of Sicily had decreed the demolition
of Fort Casteiamare, and the first division of the
revolutionary forces had been directed towards
Syracuse.
The Municipality of Palermo had sent an adj
dress to the Dictator, requesting the immediate
annexation of Sicily to the Italian Kingdom
The Dictator replied that annexation was his aim
that he was great admirer of Victor Emanuel,
and that he believed the annexation would be ac-
complished by and with him, but at present the
annexation Of Sicily alone would not be advisable
besides, in the event Of immediate annexation,
he would be under the necessity of retiring.
1t seems that the King of Naples is trying
the old game of cheating the people into
submission by offering them more liberal
institutions. The London Times of the 27th
says
Naples, by a sovereign act, andcr date Of 18th
of June grants constitutional and representative
institutions and Italian principles to the Kingdom
Of Naples general amnesty is accorded to all
polite offenders.
The correspondent OF the London Herald
saws
The greatest endeavors being made by the
NeapoIitan Government to induce Victor Eman-
ue to accept the offers Of friendship from the
King Of Naples, and that the grant OF a constitu-
ton to the Kingdom of Naples is at the nstgation
OF the Emperor Napoleon. The movements of
Gar baldi are, however, more rapid than those of
Diplomacy. Should he march upon Naples, the
fall of the Bourbon dynasty is certain.
The Prince OF Wales is to leave for Canada on

Mr.. Herschel " johnson, the Douglas
candidate for the Vice Presidency, has cool
way of stating the slavery question. In a
speech delivered in Philadelphia, Sept. Il,
1856, he said
'The question really is, whether it is best for
capital to oul IFS labor hire We differ IN re-
gard to this question. You have determined the
question one way in Pennsylvania and we nave
determined another way in Georgia do not
propose to interfere with your social system, nor
to controvert your decision. Do as you please.

we please We have dete rmined that ii is better
for us that capital shall oWn as labor !"

ton passed through this city yesterday, on
their way home. We learned from members
of the delegation, that Mr.. Fitzpatrick, who
declined running on the Douglas ticket, Is
now IN favor of Breckinridge.'

COLLEGE MATCHES.-It is getting to be
quite fashion (as poor a one as we know
of for a match to be got up between the
students of one college and those of another.
Harvard, Brown and Yale go strong in boat
races. Others take to games OF ball and
chess. OF course long details of such
matches fill the papers. We see in the
Boston Atlas and Bee yesterday an account
of a contest between Williams and Amherst,
July ), at games Of chess and ball 1t seems
they had such one last year, played at
Pittsfeld. This year it was played at West
field. Athletic sports to a reasonable extent
among students, such an extent as promotes
good health we highly approve Of When
they are pushed beyond that-so as TO seri
ouSly intrench upon the proper business ot
College life, they become a nuisance. All
that is necessary for health and proper en-
joyment can be got up by the students Of
any Institution at home. The pitting of
set of one college against set of another for
any such purpose, cannot fail to lead to
pernicious engrossment of time and thought
for the preparation and the fulflment, ito
say nothing ofwaste of money!, which ought
to be discountenanced everywhere As for
matches at Chess playing, we hardly know
of worse employment, not directly demon
alizlng, for young men in college or school of
any grade. 1t fatigues the brain without
any corresponding benefit whatever, absorbs
the attention for hours which is due to other
employments, and adds to the i'll effects of
sedentary occupation, and is directly in the
way of all healthfnl exercise in or out of
doors.
