AMONG THE ITALIANS OF NEW YORK.


Among the Italians Of this city the news Of the at
tempted assassination Of King Humber created quite
ripple OF excitement. II would appear from CONVEX
sation with Italian residents. yesterday.
that the Italians Of New York adhere. with consider
able measure of loyalty, to the dynasty Of Victor
Emmanuel, and the assassin seemed to have sympa
thizers whatever. The Italian Consul General. MIR.
al Lucca is away extended leave OF absence and
it is thought that he will probably not return from
Italy TO this city, but be promoted to the position of
Italian Minister to China In his absence. NJ. di

upon the well known clemency of King Humbert for
his salvation from the death penalty In the Romagna

as evidence that it merely an isolated individual
attempt, inspired only by the feyered mind Of the
author.

we're very well satisfied with the present government
which represented the extreme liberal aspirations Of

from the extreme Left and the King himself in-
clincd to the most liberal principles and entirely
guided by the wishes of Parliament. The republican
marty Of Italy was very small indeed and was Of
no political significance and there Wa no
communistic sociaistic movement which,
In point of strength, coresponded with
its development in Germany or France for
the reason that popular education less advanced
