THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1847- -7 THR VlATHflT.in CHURCH. THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY. The great political movement iu progress in Italy, continues to occupy the attention of the publio in alt parts of Europe. The only sources of reliable information available from the Lorabardo, Venetian, nnd Neapolitan states, being private letters and such ndvioes as are received, indirectly through the Pontifioal, Tusoan, and Piedmontese journals, considerable delay and mnch uncertainty attend the intelligence we reoeive. The offioial gazettes of Naples and Milan, containing snob, statements only as their governments find it convenient to issue, are little to His Exoellency then tefA "Mr Lords and Moept mv oordial thanks for for the flattering terms in whiol opinion of my qualifications to nl oiouj pleasure of our so hcld.

of a I shall with pleasure society established unde! ient for though fha n.n,llnn nf tha Fill you, gentlemen, may not think itWtjg, vourown meritorious efforfs, I am oonvincea who are aware of the equitable and judioious rules by whioh your society is governed, of the large sums of money you have ooUected, and the manner in which that money has been expended, must agree that the Royal Irish Art Union has been eminently successful in furthering the objects for whioh it wis constituted. When I look around at all these beautiful and striking proofs of native talent, and deduce from them that in other branohe's of art the same talent with the same result has been displayed, I feel well assured that in Iretod there must exist a vast amount of artistioal genius whioh only requires and will amply repay a generous enoouragement. "Let it be withheld, however, or afforded with a niggard hand, and it is hopeless to look for sncoest in art, and if we reoolleot that without a Julius II. and a Leo the transoeBdant genius of Michael Angelo and Raffaelle might not have been developed, and tbeir immortal works might not have been executed, we must feel how muoh those will stand in need of encouragement, who without a hope of reaohing their unrivalled eminenoe have still at first to struggle against difficulties not inferior to theirs. It has often been said, and I fear with truth, that in Ireland neither fame nor rewiird attend Irish genius, but I rejoice to think that it has not, hitherto on that aooount languished, for the admiration with which the British Dub- lio have long been aocuatomed to view the works of Shee, Mulready, Danby, Macliee, Kothwell, Macdowell, Hogan, Kirk, Moore, Foley, and other illuBtrioua artists I could name, proves that iu England sterling merit is appreciated as it deserves to be, and that among my countrymen aa respects art, and I trust in all other things, justice to Ire.

land will not be looked tor in vain. Tbe grievance, however, of which native talent has justly oemplaiced, will now to a great extent find its remedy in your exertions, for altbougn it nos oeen objected to art unions that they tend rathor to produoe many pictures than to encourage high art, I am oonvinced that if tbe works are selected with taste and judgment, and above all with perfect justice and impartiality, tbe effect must be benef oial that artists will soon discover what examples to follow, and what defects to avoid, and learn that without labour and perseverence, neither success nor reward oaa ever be obtained, It is but natural that an institution such ss yours should find friendly countenance from tbe Royal Dablin Society, whioh has bo long led the way in practical improvemnt, and to which art and science, and with them consequently the whole community, owe a lasting debt of gratitude. Most heartily I concur in your opinion, of the widespread benefit to be expected from the oo operation of societies and indi. viduals of all olasses, and my residence in this country has only strengthened the conviotion, I have for years entertained, that if Ireland be true to herself, if Irishmen be but united in firm determination to turn their innumerable advantages to account, nothing else is wanting they have in profuaion before them tbe elements of Bocial happiness and of national prosperity and greatness." Having completed bis inspection of tho several statues, groups, and busts on tbe gallery, his Excellency proeeeded to visit the drawing and modelling schools of the sooiety. He appeared to take great interest in every feature of this department, and several of the drawings and models, and made tifeny inquiries as to the details and ma.

nagement of the sohools. His Exoellency then retired, having given the kindest assurances of his warmest approbation of the efforts of the society, and his desire to advance its interests. Up to a late hour the exhibition was visited by numbers of gentry of the highest rank, and a general with prevailed that the exhibition should remain open sufficiently long to permit many who have not as yet been gratified with a view of these moat creditable works of Irish art to minister to its advancement, and to their own gratification by a visit to. the gallery of Irish sculpture. SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON BOARD A STEAMER.

The ohief engineer of the Dublin Company's steamer Queen met his death in the most sudden and frightful manner on Sunday night last. It appears that the Queen was on her voyage from Belfast to Liverpool, and was off tha Isle of Man about eleven clock at nignt wnen tne engineer, William Doyle, found it necessary to oil some of tbe working joints of one of the engines. Whilst thus engaged the vessel lurohed and tne poor fellow was on ma balance and waa caught by the aide lever or working beam of the engine. He was pulled underneath and before the engine could be stopped his head was mangled in a frightful manner, both sides of the lower jaw being literally.driven into the head. The engines were stopped at once but too late he was taken up quite dead.

The deceased was respeotably conneoted, and was but twenty-seven years of age. The commander of the steamer, Captain Churob, was promptly on tbe spot but life Was extinct. The Queen was filling the station of the ill-fated Sea King steamer, and it is singular the present was to have been the Queen's last trip on the station. This unfortuuately was not the only accident. On tbe Queen's leaving the quay at Liverpool on Friday a woman in attempting to leap on shore fell between tha steamer and the quay, and was orusbed to death.

ACCIDENT AT KINGSTOWN. Yesterday, a horse belonging to Mr. Moore, of Kingstown, drawing a dray laden with merchandize, when going between the Jetty and the Custom-house quay, backed suddenly, and fell into the water where the animal was drowned before assistance could be procured. RAILWAY ACCIDENT. Monday at the Portarlington station, on ther Great Southern and Western Railway, on engine with a train of lorries attached, wbb lying still on the up line from Bnlly-bropby, and on the seme line another engine with a train of lorries was proceeding down, and the policeman on duty not having unfurled the signal flag, and the curve being sharp, the engine driver could not see far a head, the train in motion came with terrific fury right in front of the engine lying still, and produced a concussion which will not be easily forgotten by those who saw it.

The resistance of the engine and the lorries lying still was awful, an5 produced some fantaatioal effects in the cumbrous machinery. The engine, from her great weight, kept steadily on the rails, but the lorries sprung and reared their ends right into the air, and in that position the one we bow appeared like the the bull of a wreck riding across the mane of a mighty mountain wave. The solid iron-work became twisted into fantastical shapes, and the huge axles and other pieqes of heavy work were snapped across like a brittle reed. One of the lorries lurched and turned op- against the train in whioh we sat. on our return from the meeting at Holyorosa, and forced two of the carriages off the rails, breaking all the glass and the panels on one side by the pressure.

The moBt remarkable circumstance in the catastrophe was, that not a man received the slightest injury. One poor fellow, a helper, who stood in one of the lorries, on seeing the engine approaoh, cast himaelf down where he stood and remained in the box amid the convulsion until all was over, and on having been asked by a gentleman if he were hurt, he looked about him with a atare of amazement, and said, By gorra, I don't know whether I'm dead or alive," and shrugging his shoulders aa if recovering from a deep deep, continued all right again, I gave up entirely I was so near being dead, that you might kill me with the blow of a Evening Post CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday J. E. Hyndman, Esq held an inquest at College street, on the body of Peter Casey, native of Carlow, who died from congestion of the brain oaused by drink.

It appeared that deceased came from Carlow on Sunday, and stopped with a friend that night he went out on Monday quite sober, but was got very drunk College, street, about two o'clock he was taken to the station, where every attention waa paid to him, but he died in the course of the night. From the evidence of 8urgeon Wright, it appeared that congestion of tbe brain, oaused by drink, was the cause of deathVerdict accordingly. DEATH OF A LUNATIC IN KILMAINHAM GAOL. An inquest was held yeaterday at the prison, Kilmain-ham, by Dr. M'Carthy, county coroner, on the body of C.

Importation of Rice The vessel Louisa Munro, arrived in the docks from Akjab, has brought an entire I cargo, comprising 6,200 bags of rice; and the Arab, ar. i v. Lnn I rived from tne same piuuu, uus uruugut o.uuvj uuga vi lhq article.

These importations of rice ere, we believe, possessed of a considerable degree of novelty, as we have no recollection of suoh having formerly, and previously to the temporary abolition of the duty on the artiole, taken plaoe from the district mentioned. We observe, also, that a vessel arrived from Colombo has brought 608 bags of rice, which for the same reasons, is interesting and worthy of remark.

Sib As a member of the Sanatory Hospital Committee I visited the shads at Kilmainbam on Tuesday, tbe 20th instant, aid found that there were many applications that oould not be attended to, notwithstanding that there were twenty six patients reoeived on that day, and four more expected to be received from 11, Patrick's-olose, for whom I had prescribed, and visited one of them in bad fever. I oalied at Cork-street Fever Hospital the beds for 181 patients of the South City Electoral Division were filled. Mr. Stephenson told me there were 266 applications whioh then oould not be received.

I saw the sheds in progress of being finished in this weet, and am sorry to have to say that if aooommodation for 1,000 more were erected they would be immediately filled; I mention this that the publio may RflA th. nl mootina With a share of this expense cheerfully during the visitation of Providence recollecting ah ftlA nnni an as famine has fallen in tne ouumry bat fever fallen on the poor here therefore gladly reoei- Ting, gladly giving.

ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY. 7ISIT OF THB LORD LIEUTENANT TO THE EXHIBITION OF IRISH SCULPTURE. In a previous number of the Freeman, we noticed the beautiful and unique display of statuary the works of Irish souiptors now open in the galleries of the Dublin So ciety, and took occasion to refer to its untiring, zealous, and we should add successful, efforts, to advance the interest of the fine arts in Ireland. In alludimr to those efforts, and in detailing some ot tneir more brilliant results, it wbs our painful duty to mention the gross apathy and negleot endured by the society at the handB of former governments, ana iu ij the unexampled perseverance of its members, and to the almost unaided genius of its pupils, that suocoss which has so signally marked the career ot tnose eminent mcu artistio education commenced within tbe walls ot tne institution. It is, thorefore, with smoere gratmaation we now record the just and genaroua recognition, Dy tho head of her Majesty's government in jroiana, of the many claims of the Dublin Society to that full nnd ample go long and.so well deserved, and so erimlnallv withheld: and we refer our readers with muoh pleasure to hia Excellency's answer to the address presented to him by the members ot tne Arc uniou, iu whioh there appears a juet appreciation of the vast utility of the Dublin Sooiety, to whioh (to use his Excellency words) "artandaoienoe, and with them the whole community, owe a lasting debt of True, the community does owe to the Dublin Sooiety a debt of gratitude so also does the government.

The sooiety it a powerful auxiliary in effeoting moral and aooial improvements by its efforts in'promoting soientifio researob, and cultivating the arts on which social progress The establishment of the Irish Art Union, and its subsequent operationi, have contributed muoh towarda the diffusion of taste for the fine arti amongst the growing youth of Ireland, already prepared by a more liberal and extended courts of education than was attainable by the previous generation, to appreciate and cultivate them. The sohoolsof the Dublin Sooiety ore even now full, and visit to them would well repay whomsoever may wish to examine the first essays of many destlnea, pernaps, at a future day to delight tbe world.

A set of oasts from the Antique statues were presented to it by George the Fourth. Some few pupils attended that sohool, but the funds of the society oould not afford to pay a nnrmannnt drawinff master. One lad was observed ever loitering amongst those oasts day after day, winter and summer, he sat and drew. The society, at last deprived of the miserable pittance acoorded to it as part of tne oora Institution, was dissolved but it produoed Hogan. Yes we have abounding, overflowing genius in Ireland, we need but the means to foster its growth, and direct its earlier efforts.

If that genius were wanting, vain would be all effort bootless all support. Of what value would nave been tho patronage of Perioles, without the Athenian perception of the beautiful, man perepuuu Ireland, and who will doubt it that has visited the, display of Irish sculpture in the galleries of the Dablin Society. It havine been announced that his Excellency would honour the exhibition by his presence on yeaterday, a large number of nobility and gentry, members of the Art Union, and of the Dublin Society were present. The members of the Art Union having come prepared with an address to be presented to his Exoelloncy- Wo noticed present the following: Lord Visoonnt Massarene and Forrard, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lady Talbot de Malahide, Sir George Hodson, Lieutenant-Calonel Pratt, Charles Fox, Esq, Quintin Dick, Esq, Sir Philip Crampton, Bart, George Roe, High Sheriff Sir Richard Morrison, President of the Institution of Arohlteots Sir William Hamilton, Foot, Esq, Dr Sir Arthur Clark, Robert Hall Dare, Esq, Mrs Hall Dare, Hamilton, Esq, Darley, Esq, William Deaoe Butler, Esq, the Archdea-oon of Glendaiough, Cooke, Esq, Dr Howard Cooke, Sir Robert Kane, President of Queen's College, Munster George Thorp, Esq, RHA; Catteraon Smith, Esq, Jerome Farrell, Esq, I Mr James and Mr Thomas Farrell, Captain Colville, Captain Kennedy, Mrs and the Misses Kennedy, William Kyle, EBq, Stewart Blacker, Esq, and Miss Blacker. 8hortlj after three o'clock his Excellency arrived, accompanied by Mr.

Corry Connellan, and the Hon. G. Ponaonby, and attended by his aides in waiting, and other members of hia suite. His Excellency was received by Mr. Blacker, Mr.

Foote, and other members of the Art Union, and tbe Dubliu Society, and oonduoted to the exhibition gallery. His Exoellency devoted nearly an hour to viewing the several figures, groups, and busts in the collection, and satisfaction at the entire exhibition. His Excellency appeared delighted with Mr. Panormo's group of the liberation of Caraotaous, and Mr. Panormo having been introduced, nis jsxoeuenoy warnuy oou8iiu-tfd thB artiat on this truly fine performance.

"Stew am Blacker, Hon. Sec HER MAJESTY'S TOUR TO THE HIGHLANDS. (From the North British Mail.) Loch Laooan, Wedkesdatt Nook, Yeaterday Prince Albert went to Corryarder, and after enjoying excellent sport returned to tbe Lodge with five brace of ptarmigan, eight hares, and agolden plover. His Rojal Highness wore a philabeg of shepherd tartan. Her Majesty and the royal children walked in the grounds during the day.

In the eveniBg a servants' ball took place at the Lodge. Tbe people residing in the vicinity of the Loch were invited to attend. The Queen and the Prinoe graciously honoured the company with their presence. Her Majesty wore a white crape dress, and a plaid of the Maopheraon tortan. His Royal Highness wore a Highland dress of Royal Stuart tartan.

The royal couple were spectators of the ball for a considerable time and after they had retired, the Marauia and Marchioness of Aberoorn, the Mar. obioness of Douro, the Duke of Norfolk, and other members of the court, returned to the ball room, and mingled with great affability in the dance. The festivity continued to a late hour. Prinoe Albert prooeeds eorly to-morrow morning to Loch Loohy, where the Fairy will be in waiting to convey his Royal Highness up the Caledonian Canal. The Northern Meeting holds its annual games this week in Inverness and ana Brest numhnr of noblemen end gentlemen conneoted with tbe Highlands are present, it ia Boid that a grand reception will be given to the Prinoo on bib arrival in iu uF.i.

the north. Several messengers have travelled between Inverness and Ardverikie during the last two days. His Royal HighnesB will return down the canal on Friday, and join her Majesty and the royal squadron at Fort William. Her Majesty will leovo Ardverikie about midday on Friday, and prooeed direct to Fort William through Glen Speon. The Black Eagle, the Undine, and the Garland, will sail round the Mull of Cantyre to Ard-rishaig on Friday, in order to be in readiness to take the Queen on board when her Majesty passes through the naKi Soturdnv.

The roval vacht, the Fairy, and the Scourge, after conveying the royal party to Loch Crinian on Saturday, will move tnence rouna tno Campbelton, where as I stated yesterday, the whole squadron will rendexvous on Saturday night. Fobt Williah, Wednesday Night. Preparations are going on here for the embarkation of her Majesty on Friday. Hxnm.AMn f.ANnr.oaDS I mentioned in a previous letter that a steamer wosld sail this week for the first timo between Fort William and Liverpool. Tbe Finn MooCoul whioh has plied for some yearB between uaiioway anu oashire, ia the vessel which has the Honour ot opening communication between the Highlands and the manufacturing diitriota of England.

She sailed to-day with a cargo the principal item of whioh ia seventy ecorea of tmep, wnlon nave oeen purcnosea vnu Rodger, an esteaaive farmer in Wigtonshirev Thia fane fiock will be fed for some time on turnips, on Mr. Rodgers farm of Penkhill, near Jarlieatown, and, whan fattened will be oonveytd to Liverpool market. Tbe Finn MaoCoul has not aucoeeded in getting a oargo direot to Liverpool on this, her first trip and any one who takes the trouble to travel through the extensive traot of oountry between Fort William end Looh Laggan, will have little difficulty in finding the leal oeoret of the failure. Thousands of screa are lying in moss, or a state oi sueei ntninh If or in aimoBt equally unprontuuio pu.o, -cultivated, would grow aa luxuriant crops of turnips as any other part of Scotland. Were these waBtes turned to proper account, great proportion of the sheep reared on the mountains might be fattened in the valleys immediately adjaoent, and as a necessary consequence farm would receive an addition to their present returns equivalent to the difference between the price of lean and that of fat sheep.

The increase of money which would thus be brought into tbe Mignianas wouia oe onium lahnnrar. farmers, and oronrietors, and a nation of consumers would also partake largely in the common benefit for the sapply of mutton and other farm proauce onereu for their use would be greatly augmented. But the Highland landlords prevent all this circulation of money and interchange of advantages. To please their fancies the land must lie in a state of wastethe sheep must grow lean on grass and heather, and at last bo sold at lean prices to some south country farmer, who pookets as much for two or three months of turnip feeding as tbe Highlond farmer gets for the trouble of as many years! Is thera any wonder that under suoh a Btate of things there should be no circulation of money in the Highlands, end that the people should be poor and famine-stricken This ruinous system has a fatal influence on the prosperity of the Highland towns, and no plaoe suffers more acutely from it than Fort William. Situated in the centre of a vast sheep and cattle oountry, and oommandine, by means of the Caledonian Canal and the western ocean, direot and rapid oommunioation with the moBt secluded valleys on the one hand, and the most orowded seats of population and manufactures on the other, this village might Boon become a vast depot for the exohange and tranamiBaon of the produoe jeouliar to both.

But as there is little stock prepared for tho market in the neighbourhood, there is no demand for vessels to oonvey it, or for merchants and agents to sffeat the exohanEO' ThB flocks of lean sbeep reared on the surrounding bills are sent to the south in' droves, and. thn moat retired routes are Dreferred. ISO laoourers are employed in reclaiming the adjoining tracts of waste land. There is, consequently, no expenairure or wages, auu uu uo-mand for goods of local manufacture. Every ohannel of prosperity is out off, and, instead of increasing daily in wealth and population, Fort William pineB in tbe middle of an artificial wilderness.

It ia not even allowed ro enough for the small trade which it possesses. The village is the property of Sir Duncan Cameron, ot iassiteru. Jinia om gentleman went to bed one night a Whig, and rose aext morning a Tory; and because the feuarsin tho village could not undergo an equally rapid metamorphosis, he has subjected them to petty annoyanoe ever since. No new feus oan be obtained for love or money. When a person wishes to build, he must expend as much in purchasing old nouses as would nearly suffice to put up the new erection and, of course, as old houses are thus demolished, the lower classea of the population are crammed into murkier and more crowded dens.

From this suffoonting prooeas there is no eseope for while Sir Dunoon pinches tbe unfortunate vlllaaera in the centre, the government and Loohiol enclose them on eaoh flank. The former refuses to yield an inoh of its ground, though the necessity of a fort does not seem in these dayB very urgent; and the latter cannot give a foot of his, because it is fettered under a law of entail. Both have a certain excuse, hut Sir Duncan has none but with, an admirable oonBoiouaness that he will leave behind him no affectionate memorial in the hearts of the dsodIb. this orovident old ohieftain is employed, like Absalom of old, erecting for himself a monument of stone. Let us hope that parliament will afford a speedy remedy tnr itnme.

at least, of these manifold evils. In the mean time, tho opening of a steam oommunioation with Liverpool is an auspicious event; and if pursued with adequate perseverance; it may arouse proprietors and farmers to a more enlightened and energetic development of their resources- Caledonian Canal, Thursday, 10 a m. His Rojal Highness Prinoe Albert arrived at the southwestern end of Looh Loohy this morning about nine o'clock, after a drive from Ardverikie of about thirty miles. The Fail under oommand of Captain Robinson, was waiting at the end of the looh from an early hour, and immediytely after the arrival of the Prince, proceeded along the oanal. The weather, up to this hour, has been very unfavourable.

Heavy showorB have fallen the whole morning, acoompanied with temporary gleams of sunshine. As the day advances, however, there are some symptoms of improvement, and good hopes are entertained that aa soon as the Fairy has, escaped from the proverbially rainy district of Loobaber a drier atmosphere and a fairer sky will be experienced. The jail up Looh Loohy is grand and imposing in spite of the mists and the olouds witn nion tne scenery is envelopes, The dark blue water and varying outline of the looh, enclosed on each side by an unbroken range of green moun tains, whose steep and tempest turrowea biubb are wasnea bv a thousand oasoades, are calculated to strike tbe imagination under all oircumstanoeB, and are even inveBted by the snowers witn attractions wuiuu muio gemm weather oould not have been exhibited. The tiny streamlets whioh on a dry sunny day would nave oozed down unaeen amid the atones and brackens, are swollen by the rains into white foaming torrents whioh cast an air of bewitching beauty over the unvarying surface of the hills. Few human habitations are observable on the sides of the Loch.

Glen-fintaig Cottage, a very neat and elegant country residence, oooupies a fine Bite in the south-eastern edge of the Loch and on tho opposite aide, a fine view 'B obtained of the jlen, in whioh Aohnaoarry, the residence of Loohiel, is situated. The email inn, of Letterfiniey, and a few shepherd's huts are the only other dwellings whioh meet the eye. But the sides of the mountains are covered with fine fiooks of sheep, whioh find rich pasture as well as good shelter in the numerous and spacious corries. Inyebness, Sept. 17 His Royal Highness Prince Albert visited our quiet little town yesterday at five o'clook, P.as.

He was met on the north bank of the river Ness, abont a mile from town, by the magistrates and the six incorporated trades, with a large body of people, all in marching order. As soon bb the signal waa given that he was in sight a royal salute of 21 guns was fired from cannon plaoed on the castle hill. The procession marched, with bands of musio iu front, to the town hall, where he was presented with an address, and after visiting the oaslle hill ha returned to Doohfour House to dine with a seleot party, and remain there for the night. mm mm rsPUAT WKQTTSRN RAILWAY OF IRELAND AND ROYAL CANAL COMPANY.

The following pastoral letter of the Roman Catholic Vicar Apostolio, of the London ditriot, waa read on Sunday at all tho Roman Catholic chapels of London Nicholas, by the grace of God, and the favour of the Apostolic See, Bishop of Melipotamus, and Pro-Vioar Apostolic of the London district, To our dearly beloved in Christ, tho clergy, secular and regular, and tbe laity of tbe London district, health and benediction in our Lord. An unsearchable decree of the divine will, dearly beloved in Christ, has taken from you the zealous and holy pastor, who had so long guided you by his wise counsels, and edified by vou by his example.

Sorrowful then no doubt was the churob," to use the words of St. Augustine, at tbe loss of him withdrawn; wishing for ever to have had present to her so good a rural instructor." But your grief was no doubt mitigated by the remembranoe of those very virtues which bad endeared mm to you, by his blameless life, and holy death, by bis piety, and obarity, by bis indefatigable labours In the cause of religion, and the monuments of his zoal, which ho has left behind him. You have been consoled, too, by the powerful suffrages which have been sent up to tbe Throne of Grace for his bouI, and chiefly by the great sacrifice of expiation, whioh, odmidst the pious attendance, and forveut supplications of the faithful, the church has solemnly offered on his behalf.

The infatuated Kings," it Bays "Are determined on drawing the aword they provoke war and reprisals; they wish that when the day of retribution arrives, it will be impossible for the people to show them meroy." The Independance of generally well informed journal, says: We are assured that overtures have been made to send to Tienna a protest, in the name of Fronoe and England, against the occupation of the Rooan territory by the Austrian troops. It would only be in case the protest should produoe no result that the two powers would tffeot landings at Ancona and Civita Yeocbia. We are assured, moreover that the Popo has declarod to M. Rossi that he would only deolde at the last extremity on demanding the support of the foreign peweri, and that he hoped to cause tne auo-trlatiB to retire by the firmness of his Amidst the movement which manifests itself throughout Italy," says the Commerce, "The kingdom of the two Sicilies, one of the largest in the Peninsula, since it contains 8,000,000 inhabitants, could not remain a peaceable spectator without taking part in that grand progress of the national spirit. A great agitation prevails In the entire kingdom.

The inhabitants of that oountry have been obliged recur to revolutionary means on account of the violent despotism of the Neapolitan povermnent; for whiUt, In other parts of Italy, the prlnoes have assumed thB initiative of reform and acceded to the wishes of the population, at Naples the King, badly advised by his ministry, obstinately resists the demands of his poople and the manifestations of publio opinion. Naples has ever been one of the countries moat advanced in civilization; The spirit of reform propagated itself in that kingdom previous to the revolution of 1789, thanks to the administration of the Marquis of Lauoei, and to the works of Vioo, Graving), Glan-none, Genovese, Pagano, Filangerl, and other Neapolitan political writers. The principles of the French revolution were aooordingly received with eagernsis in the kingdom of Naples, and history has written in letters of blood the heroioal efforts made by the Neapolitans towards the blose of the last century in support of those principles. Under the reign of Joachim Murat the kingdom of Naples obtained civil guarantees and the ooden of the empire. Those laws were maintained under the restoration of the Bourbons, and several branohesof the publio administration underwent important ameliorations.

But all these ameliorations only af-feoted the material interests; the execution of the laws and the rights of the citizens obtained no politieal guarantee, notwithstanding the solemn promises made by Ferdinand in 1815, on rB-asoendlng the throue. Thia occasioned the rising of the whole nation in 1820, and the proclamation of liberal institutions, whioh were sanctioned by the Kiog and the royal family. The Austrians, oalied in by Ferdinand, who, some months before had aworn to the constitution, re established despotism, with all its excesses, in the kingdom of Naples. The population, betrayed, yielded to force, without renouncing their right. The parliament, dissolved by foreign bayonets, protested against the violation of the law of nations; and made a solemn reservation of the prerogative and franchises of the nation.

The numerous attempts at insurrection which followed, the proseoutiona and the tortures borne by thousands of patriots, demonstrate that those populations, endowed with a moral life whioh brutal foroe cannot extinguish, are more than ever tired of a government under whioh there is no guarantee for the execution of the laws. The police is rigorous, tormenting, and restrained by no legal oontrol. The press is gagged, and exceptional tribunals condemn on secret evidence and without appeal; The grievances of the Sicilians against the Court of Naples are still more crying. Sicily has been at all times badly administered by the Neapolitan government, which, far from taking interest in the welfare of the country, has not even extended to it the blessings of the material amelioration so corded to the continental provinces. It may be said that that island is still treated like a conquered province.

Sicily possessed, during several ages, a constitution. That constitution was modified by the Sicilian parliament in 1812. and modelled on that of England under the influence of Lord W. Bontinck. The Duke of Orleans, the present King of the Frenoh, then at Palermo, and the Prince de Bel.

monte favoured the Liberal movement. Ferdinand I. adhered to it, and the hereditary prinoe, father of the reigning king, governed Sioily during three years, as regent. That constitution could not be abolished by the act of union of the island with the continental kingdom, whioh took plaoe in 1815: and, nevertheless, the Sicilian parliament has never since been con voked. The Sicilians have not lorgotten that violation of their former franchises.

Their rights are imprescriptible, the establishment of their parliament being anterior to that of the domination of the Bourbons. It is asserted that the insurreotion in Scioily was fomented by the Prince of Capua, who is at variance with the King, his brother, and now resides at Malta. We believe this to be an error. The oi.iy prince who left any favourable recollections in Sioily, is the Count of Syracuse, brother of the King. He was appointed some years ago uovcrnor oi cob isianu, with extensive powers, but, as he was beloved by the popu lation, he was soon recalled.

The present movement in Sioilv. besides, is unite natural. The Sicilians wished to enjoy, in conjunction with the other provinces of Italy, the blessings of independence and liberty. Angelo Brunetti, alias Cloeroonoohio, lately appointed standard bearer of the Roman chla guard, is a man of about 45 or 46 years of age, stout and short his counte nance at nrstsignt ratner common, out on longer eir mi ration there may be discovered in it indications of strong cotnmcn sense, united to great determination.

A vast cumber of the poor of this town and neighbourhood are now left in a state of extreme misery and distress, many families having lived entirely on what little they received from it rather than go into the poor-homo a course whioh from their having no other means of sup-nort thev would have been necessitated to adopt. What thev are now to do is a subjeot for serious Provisions are, it is true, cheaper, but raoaey is still so scarce, and work so difficult to obtain, that many of the labourers will not be able to purohase the nooeisaf ies of life.

Many of them oould. turn their hand to the loom, if it was possible to make anything by it, Alas I the weaving trade seems to be drawing near a dose. Tbe most expert weaver about Ballvmena cannot at present make, during a week, five shillings; and the greater number of those engaged at the loom, not much more than one half of that trifling sum. 9nmo of our draDersare now giving for weaving ISoo'sJ 59 yards long and others not so much; for 1 loo's, for lOoo's, 3s. 6d.

for 9ao's and for ooarse webs still less. Now, any one of these seta is a hard week's work, and when flour for paste, and other requisites are provided by the weaver out of his wages, what remains, you will easily perceive, is but the veriest trifle for the support of even a small Banner of Ulster, A Miser's End Mddle. an old maiden lady, living near Rambouillet, died on Wednesday, under somewhat curious, ciroumstanoea. She was noted for her extraordinary avarioe. She lived in one of her own houses, with an old servant, named Marguerite, who had been with her for nearly thirty years; allowed herself neither fire nor light, and never spent more than 200f.

a-year. She was, however, very wealthy, rumour setting down her fortune at though that, it appears, waa an exaggeration. On Sunday her old servant endeavoured to make her understand that she ought to make her will, and not forgot her who had been her faithful attendant for so many'years. The old lady tried to shufHe off the subject, but, on the servant insisting, she deotared flatly that on her death she would leave her nothing. This ingratitude so affaoted the old Marguerite that she committed suioide, by hanging herself.

In the evening her body was discovered and, on Mdlle. being informed of what had occurred, sne merely exclaimed, Ah I she is very happy very happy." The next morning, however, she arose pale and fatigued, and, in answer to her neighbours, stated that she had not slept all night, for that she had always had before her eyes the face of her poor Marguerite. Id the evening Bhe went to bed earlier than usual, and on tbe following morning wus found dead in her bed. Suoh was tbe utter wretobedness in whioh she had lived, that one of her neighours had to lend a sheet to coyer aer body. On the judicial authorities going to the house to put stall on the property, ou behalf of the heirs, they found a sum of 40 OOOf.

in a dilapidated trunk, whioh waa secreted under 1 iirt nnn, the pavement of tne Kitonen, ana a mriuor bum oi uvuuur, discovered in other hiding plaoes. A paper was alto found, whioh set forth that another sum. of wa secreted in other places, without specifying where. A. searoh after it was immediately commenced, but without result.

French raper, bo depended on Letters from Milan, of the lith, say that the popular movement whioh took plaoe there on the 8th and Oth, had been quelled by the armed foroe. A notice had been posted in the city by the authorities, on the 10th, warning oil persons who regarded their porBonal safety to remain at home. Patrols circulated through the streets on that day, and in the evening several persons in the piaxrs, Fontano were wounded. These acts of violence of the soldiers have been directed chiefly against unoffending and unarmed citizens. The worst offenoe charged agalnBt any one was having cried Viva Pio JX On the 8th one man was killed and one hundred and fifty porsons were wounded.

The popular demonstration of the 8tb, at Genoa, (which we have already reported,) was renewed the following day, when a body of oitzeus, amounting to two thousand, were headed by the Marquis George Dona. The quarter. Portoria, where the insurrection against the Au-triana broke out in 1746, waa illuminated. The people, on this oooasion, besides the usual loyal aoola nmtious. uttered ories for a national guard." Whatever may haye decided the authorities, whioh until then were passive, the troops were then oalied out, and a proolama tion issued by the municipal authorities, exhorting the people to be tranquil, alluding to the Pope in terms of praise, and at the same time the assemblage was dispersed, but without violence.

A letter from Genoa, of the 18th, says that the popular celebration which had been designed for the preceding day had been suspended by order of the government. This decision was attributed to M. de la Margarita, who, though retired from offioe, atill exeroised a sinister influence, and in part oounteraoted the liberal views of M. Villa Marina. No restraint, however, was imposed on the use of the printing press so far as respected the printing of hymns written in a style of the highest excitement oeainst the Austrians, ond which were set to musio and sung in the streets.

At Florence the same outbursts of popular enthusiasm were sustained. The agitation having naturally icduced timid persons to draw their deposits from the Savings' Bank, the Graud Duke oonoeived the happy idea of dopo-eltlng there a large sum in hit own name. The national guard was everywhere in prooesa of organisation, and even before it had yet reoeived arms became instrumental in maintaining the publio trarfquillity. A great publio solemnity was to have taken plaoe on the 12th, at which persons from all parts of the Tusoon states were to have assisted. The people, assembled in different quarters under banners, were to meet on the PiazzsPitti, in frontof the grand duoal palace.

The ccolesiastics were to be formed into bodies. The Tuscan women, led by the ladies of the Florentine no-blese, were to form in troops, of whioh the Marohesa a lady of great personal beauty, was to be the standard bearer. The Grand Duke, with his family, was to join the procession on foot, and to prooeed to the Church of the Annunziato, where a Te Beunt was to be celebrated. The Grand Duke had nominated his eldest eon, i the Hereditary Prince, generaiisBimo of the national guard. Advices from Parma of the 6th announoe the arrival there of General Kadetzky, the Austrian general.

Commandant Salis immediately waited upon him, and had a long interview. The general presence Bt Parma appears to be occasioned by the state of affairs in Italy. Lettora from Naples of the 9th say that a reign of terror has commenced there, and that every day sees new viotima consigned to the castle of Saint Elmo. The oonsternation is augmented by the report, generally credited, that the go-vernmentwill be supported against the people by the French squadron lying in the harbour. This persuasion is confirmed by the fact that, in order to prove the hostility of the French government to the friends of reform and progress in Italy, the Neapolitan government has oaueed ox-tracts from the Journal des Dtbats, relating to the affairs of Italy, to be translated, printed in large numberB, and Circulated gratuitously.

Letters from represent the insurgent forces there as amounting to five or six thousand. Troops are daily embuarked at Naples for different nninta nf the Kine superintending in person their embarkation. The law of the auspeot is revived at Niplep and ratblcssly put in execution by the minister ot polioe, Delcarretto. Thus it appears that all the hopes of reform that were entertained respecting the King of Noplea are delusive. The Courtier Francois announoes that a division of tnrej Austrion ships of war had sailed from Trieste on a oruise in the Adriatic.

Thev were, on the 7th instant, in view of Anoona, and after remaining in observation during several hours, they steered for the Gulf of Tarentiim. The Uniun Monarchigue quotes the following letter, dated Rcme, the instant: An English division, consisting of the ships of the line Albion, Vanguard, and Rodney, has arrived ot Anoona Nothing can convey to you an idea of the enthuanam which that decisive manifestation has excited amongst thepopula. tion. Protestant England has completely supplanted Catho. lie France.

M. Rossi has fallen at Rome into the utmost discredit. The following fact will show his unpopularity. When he waits on the Pope nobody rises on his approach Yesterday the people intended to repair to 'be Palace Co-lonna and hoot your ambassador, but that demonstration was fortunately prevented. This disposition of the popu-lation, however, is entirely person), for nobody ever thought of insulting tbo ombasador of Austria, who gained much popularity by hia many acts of benevolenoe during the prevalence of cholera at Rome.

All the articles of the Times and other English journals whioh arrive in the morning are immediately translated and distributed gratis in the ovonin throueh the citv. The language of French diplo. macv is everywhere thosame in Italy. Our representatives ore the humble servants of Austria. M.

de la Roohefou-oault at Florence, and M. Mortier at Turin, hold the same Rni at Rome. The Itolian journals, oon- sequently, do not spare them. All the clergy of Rimini nave subscribed to purchase muskets for the armament of the m.tinrml c.nrd. The official accounts from Messina state that the insurgents defended themselves valiantly during two days.

The troops at last triumphed, Calabria is on fire the army has remained faithful, but several effioera have joined the insurgents. The Pope repaired to day to Santa Maria del Popoio, on the oooasion of the festival of the Nativitv. He had an air of satisfaction and health whioh avervbodv remarked with joy. He is more happy and more the union existing amongst his sub jeots and reads on every countenance an expression ot gratitude." A correspondent of another journal writes from Rome on the same day Letters have been reoeived from Ferrara, which state ihiitha have beoome less exasperating. They, however, are still in oooupatlou of the town, and send out numerous patrols every night, and are preparing for nnnvenient winter quarters the commandant of the garrison has ordered sentry boxes to be made, which looks lik if thev were determined to remain.

One column will cross the Po on the side of Placentia, and the other near Mantua. The first will occupy Parma, and by tbe rontre-moliroed advance to Luooa; the second will traverse Mo-dena, enter Tusoany bv the side of Pistoja, and oooupy Florence and Leghorne. The curt of Vienna, moreover in order to iusure the success of iie designs, takes good cure, to renew its declarations in favour of the independence of the Holy See.

Austria oould not oommand sufficient strength to ottack openly a cause so universally popular as that of the Holy See. But what oould not be achieved in a direct manner may be attempted with greater security in an indirect one. By interfering in Tusoany, particularly, the imoerial troops will be at hand to pounce at once on the Tl an states, so as to out them in two, and separate the I "tions from the oapital of those states.
