Cavour.

The foreign papers generally are. as
might be expected, filed with biognph-
ical notices and eulo ogiums of the late
Count Cavour. Even the clerical jour
mails do justice to his memory. The
Ammonia, the most violent of the reac-
tionary organs, bears testimony to his

"As political opponents of the illus
trious deceased as long as he was pow
erful. We strongly and freely combated
his ideas and his errors. Over hrs
corpse we will remember only the mag.
niicent endowments Of his nature. 1t
will belong to history to Judge him to
us TO lament him and deplore his loss.
We have often experienced his good
ness of heart. After the suppression
OF the converts monastery in Liguria
was suffering from hunger. We pri-
vately appealed tohis charity, and he
instantly sent 1000 francs to the sisters
Of that convent. Moreover, he wrote
US with his own hand long letter which
proved his goodness Of heart. We
know that in Turin he was in the habit
of relieving necessitous persons. We
have had numerous proofs Of bis 10y

forward petition to an august person
age, we addressed it. by letter. TO the
loyalty Of Count Cavour.' Not only
was the petition presented. but it was
also published by Count Cavour's
means, although it was in the main a
censure of his conduct. On another
occasion We ventured 10 send him the
first copy Of a book which combated
his policy; he accepted it. and thanked
us in gracious letter. And lastly. we
owe to Count Cavour the liberty that
has been granted US of collecting st.

The Excitement in Baltimore

ing the traitors to Conservative
BALTIMORE, June 81.
At 8 O'Clock this morning, Geo. P.
Kane, Police Marshal Of this city. wa,
arrested al his home by order Of Gen
Banks .and conveyed to Fort Nc Henry,
where he is now held prisoner.
Gen. Banks has issued proclama-
ton nominating John r. Henley, of the
Maryland regiment, Provost Marshal:
also superseding the powers of the
Police Commissioners. Mr.. X. is to
exercise supreme control over the police
department. until some loyal citizen is
to act Is marshal.
The proclamation gives as the rea-
son for the arrest Of Kane, that he is
known to be aiding and abetting those
in armed rebellion against the Govern
ment. and is at the head of an armed
force. which he had used to conceal
rather than detect acts of treason TO
the Government.
Considerable excitement exists, oc-
casioned by the arrest of Marshal Kane.
Union men are pleased, but secession;
lists are indignant. Col. Kenley, the
Provost Marshal. waited on the Mayor
and Police Commissioners. when the
latter asked time to consider. Henley
replied that his orders were immediate.
He then proceeded to the Marshal's
Office, taking possession. The Com
missioners then directed the officers to
obey the military authority. but de-
clared their intention to protest against
the action Of the Government.
LATER.
This afternoon the Police Commits
sioners issued orders disbanding the
police. They also issued protest,
signed BY the Mayor as one Of the
board. Mr.. Henley has sworn in a
new force.

IL at first seemed little thing that q

come excited over the result of Presi-
dental election, and that they should
talk of secession and rebellion; but see
to what destructive consequences this
wickedness has reached in SO short a
tine
1t does not now appear what effect
this conflict will have upon our national
sins. At present, Slavery has nothing
TO do with the war, except as it was
made pre,ext by the South for wag-
ing a conflict; but this small beginning
may terminate in its downfall. God
may be opening the way for its extirpa-
ton in the folly and madness Of its
supporters as He did the downfall Of
the Papacy by the excessive impudence
of its own strength and the arrogance
of its power.
We have a firm belief that the all
wise Disposer Of events is guiding and
controlling the events in this nation. and
that they will ultimate in final bless

appear. But it may be that for our
sins. We must suffer baptism Of blood,
before the end comes.

Republic 10 a glorious destiny. And

Canada away by their foolish course in
the present crisis of our affairs.
There is no excuse for the course the
British Ministry has taken. 1t appears
to have no foundation except in the
jealousy, envy or sel6shness Of the
Cabinet of the kingdom; and its react
ing force may yet shake that empire to
its very foundations, and dismember it
beyond the possibility of recovery.
Already has the government OF Brit
ain discovered its error. We may judge
from the tone of the recent dispatches;
but her mistake cannot be wiped out.
She may. and doubtless will. be less
favorable TO the rebels Of the South
than if the error had not been commit
ed, SO that we shall probably be rather
benefited than injured by it but after
all the record has been made up, and
time cannot blot it out. The effect
must follow the cause, and it will tell
with fearful effect when the day Of
retribution comes.
Altogether. the position of foreign
nations seems very favorable for US.
The rebels are likely to receive no sub
stantial aid from abroad, and King Cot
ton must fall by the hand Of his own
friends, who have wickedly raised a
storm about him which must prove fatal
to his reign and dominion.
