and with the prospect before US of more embarras-

GUsTAvUs MODENA.-The same day, says our con
temporary, LEO d. Italia, that the Italian Parlia-
ment assembled at Turin, and proclaimed Victor
Emmanuel King of regenerated Italy (Feb. 2l) !,
large concourse of people followed great man
10 the graye-one who haG contributed much by
MS words, his pen, and his sword, to the triumph
OF so noble cause. This man was Italy's greatest
tragic artist, Gustavus Modena, who, peacefully
and resigned, closed his eyes to the light of day,
like laborer ending his daily work. As an actor
ne was judged Tor what he was-a man of genius
As writer, he handled the Italian language as a
sculptor handles the facile clay, shaping it as he
DESIRES and giving to it the most graceful forms.
As politician, he always fought the enemies of
his country, whoever they were AS a citizen and
man. the historian will find in him an inexbausti
BILE treasure of unique and incompatible traits of
friendship and ineffable charity. When his name
was announced as an actor in Alieri's tragedies,
or as reader and declaimer of Dante, no theatre,
no concert hall was large enough to contain the
crowds that focked to hear him. His remains were
followed to the grave by thousands of all classes,
from the highest iunctonary of the government to
the humblest citizen; men, women, children, all
were there to pay the Roscius of Italy, the last
earthly tribute. Modena died in the faith of the
Waldenses, and among his pall-bearers we're many
Generals of the armies of Garibaldi and Victor
Emmanuel, several deputies, and his Exceency the
Chevalier Lorenzo Valerie, Governor of Como
who represented the Italian Government. His re-
mains were deposited in the cemetery of Turin in
the lot reserved for the community of the Walden.

EFFECTS GALE.
CHARLESTON, March 30.-The fortif cations in the
harbor having been finally completed, they were
visited this forenoon by General Beauregard and
the members of the Convention. The distinguish
ed party were received with high honors and heavy
firing in all directions.
The completion of the great work and the salts
factory manner in which it has been accomplished,
is the theme of much rejoicing and congratuation
on all sides, and all that is wanting to make the joy
complete, is the evacuation of Sumter, and its oc-
cupancy by its rightful owners, the Confederate
States of America.
The members of tn Convention visited the for
tifcations in the harbor to-day, in the steamers
Carolina and General Clinch. The batteries play
ed with great effect.
Governor Pickens was not in the company, being
engaged in more important official business.
Great anxiety is felt as to the Administrations
course about Fort Sumter. If nothing is done
soon the fort will be attacked and captured. The
sentiment of the people is entirely in favor of ac
tion. The Governors communication has not yet
been acted upon. Col. Lannon's return is hourly
expected.
The ship Splendid, from Liverpool, has arrived
at this port, having board the officers and crew

port this morning with cargo Office. She reports
having experienced very severely the fearful gale

He says Houston is raising an army of two to five
thousand in Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and Ten

dent Davis may have work to do before long.
Capt. Goliath, of schooner Rialto, lost on Satur

his knuckles so sharply that he had to let go his

The FRUr.-We feel gratifed in believing, and
being able to report our belief, that the quaking
and apprehensons about the loss of fruit crop for
the present season were quite premature, at least
in this region. We have enough within a day
ry trees to induce the strong belief that the news
papers and the public generally have cried out long
before they were hurt, in this respect. The kinds
otfruit trees just mentioned furnish good hope of
sons; of course the danger is not over and if April
should prove wet and frosty, the destruction may
be great; but it has not taken place yet, and may
not do so at all. We are confirmed in these views
by the testimony of Mr.. John Hewlett, of our
most experienced arboriculturists and gardeners,
who states that, according to pretty extensive
examination by him, the prospect of a full crop of
all the above kinds of fruit was never greater than
now.-Nat. Intel.
