    Sunday Brought An Addition To The Record...

    - roEEiGisr . Garibaldi is not the man to fail in keeping such a promise as that he had given , to be at Naples by Saturday . Accordingly that day saw the liberating general in the city , having seen the last of the last of the Bourbons . Of King Bombalino it cannot be said , as Cicero said of Gatalme , tie has rushed forth ; he has sallied out , " & c . Such energetic expressions are inapplicable to the pusillanimous slinking away , the pitiful skulking into safe distance and retreat , the despicable evaporating into ^ ioul air , which has just taken place . If the King of Naples had not been as cruel as he was , charity might have given him the benefit of a doubt , and ascribed his withdrawal to a distaste for bloodshed , and the horrors of a hand to hand struggle in a populous town . But this favourable construction of his present conduct is precluded by his former acts . The antecedents of this truly royal , personage shut out all such good natured conclusions . Several brigades of the Neapolitan army had intention of his heet to

    cone over to Garibaldi . The King ' s sending Trieste , and placing it at the disposal of Austria was baffled by the opposition of the very men who officered and manned it , as well as that of his own ministers . In the -Konian States , we learned as last week closed and the present opened , that various localities had revolted , and at Pesaro the Pope ' s troops had met with reverses . Victor Emmanuel had been proclaimed at Urbino , and had received invitations of protection from the Marches which had been entered by the Tuscan "Volunteers , while powerful forces were on the move from Turin towards the South . We have throughout , and long before such an event was generally anticipated , sought to familiarise the public with that view of the question , in which the " flight " of the King of Naples was to be regarded as merely a question of time . Another point we have urged , and again recur to , is that every great power in the world that is really favourable to the liberal cause , should ; unite in insisting that air States whatsoever abstain from interfering to oppose the liberal movement

    now so gloriously progressing in Italy . _ ' ,-.,-, ,.-, The first acts of Garibaldi after entering JSaples , which by the way , he did alone , merely being attended by his staff , and the population b-reetincr him with the most confirmed enthusiasm , consisted m making arran ge ments for the maintenance of orders ho appointed Cosenz minister of war , and Pisanelli , minister of justice , retaining Romano as minister of the interior , placing the police under the direetion _ Arditi , and giving the command of the fleet to Admiral Persano .- He then discovered and suppressed what is described as " a National Committee illegally constituted , " though the fact is , that the ordinary forms of . law must necessarily be suspended imder the circumstances . Having providedfor the safety and tranquillity of the place , the General proceeded to proclaim Victor-Emmanuel King of Italy , the capitulation of the forts being left a mere question of time . Meanwhile the King " kept moving" towards Spain .

    With regard to the Roman States there appeared good reason to believe that France had been guilty of the gross inconsistency of setting her veto on any " intervention" in favour of liberty on the part ot Sardinia . France , who had been doing nothing but " interfere ' in the cause of despotism in Rome for years past . Iiarnoriciere , not oven a " legitimate , " however wrongful an agent , like the imperial forces , but a mers adventurer , was to beat liberty to « ' interfere" to the extent of sacking and burning all the towns that asserted their freedom , and to put their inhabitants to the sword , and Victor Emaimel was forbidden to interpose the shield of protection . iLanaoriciere might " mtericre to destroy , but the King of Sardinia must not " interfere " to save . Such is the logic of imperial diplomacy . that the

    Pending these Italian " difficulties , " news reached us Emperors of Austria and Russia could no lsngor resist the gravitating force of sympathy , and finding " estrangement no longer tolerable , were to be sworn friends again . " Behold it is good for brothers to dwell together in unity . " If the converse of the proverb that " when a certain class of agents fall out , honest folks may come by their own _ b e true , " honest folks " had better look out jvist now . Wo venturod to suggest that the " official denial" by Austria of tho soft impoaohraont that she had boon trying ) to concoct a coalition against Franoe , would bo appreciated at its true value > und this subsequent intelligence is very significant . „ ,. „„ , i ., * - / i i Tho Austrian Government ; has " officially" denied that it has been endeavouring to get up a coalition against Fi'anoo , and wo have no doubt this " official" denial will not bo " unappreciated in the proper

    Intelligence purporting to bo of an official character informs us that AuBtria will abstain from interference on behalf of the eystom that is fast passing away in Italy , provided her own territories aro not apooincally attacked ; preparations of a military nature , and on a large acnlo , but eaid to be entirely of a defensivo character , are being onorgotioaUy prosecuted . It has' been said that Sardinia with tlio contuirronco ol Franco , has demanded that tho foroign mercenaries on tho Woman Statoa , be disbanded j and that in cmso of refusal a Sardinian army will at once bo put in motion to enforco compliance . The ambassadors ot Russia , Prussia , and Austria , followed in tho king ' s footsteps to G-neta ; but the French minister at Naploa , Baron Bronniev , has boon roonUoa , whioh seems to indicate a divercronoo of policy botweon tho first throe

    Btatoa on the one hand and tho last mentioned on tho other . It soema that tho " vanished" king was advised from Vienna to soott an asylum in one of tho Gorman aourts . Wo . havo B . inao heard that tho appeal tor protection of TJmbria and tho Marches to Victor Emmanuel has rcooivod n noble and onorgotio response , in tho acivenc to these distriots in ibav of devastation with flrb and sword , mnaeaoro , t > lundo ) q , rape , and oil tho abominations perpetrated by a law oss banditti , hounded on by tho fleroost atimuh of supersUtion , —ot ^ , SSotvoopa , to bo followed by 05 . 000 more , 97 be lions , ¦«« thjg , and the wolves see their pvoy protected from then- fangs . LamoMoWre and hie army were ftt Anoona , when tho last advioee-armed .

    The liberation of a larger portion of Europe than Italy , where the movement has now commenced under such favourable ausp ices ^ seems zxo longer a question of time . In Hungary , Croatia , and Dalmatia , aspirations of freedom are "being manifested . The state of the Austrian Exchequer is well known , and Latent disaffection pervades even her German provinces . " ¦ . _ _ . Switzerland wants the passes of tho Simplon fortified , and that a atrip , of territory about half a dozen miles in width be interposed between the French position and the waters of Geneva , by way of keeping France-at ? , arms length ; but this France is too affectionate to assent to , and is ; resolved upon a tete-a-tete with Switzerland , who is appealing to Europe , for a separation . „ from two who

    Some very important utterances have come potentates , at the present time sustain perhaps the most active of the leading parts in the great European drama which is rapidly approaching its catastrophe . The French Emperor has delivered himself at Marseilles of an address , which may be described as the newest variation on the theme that " the Empire is Peace . " And side by side with this " exposition " of Imperial views we have the address of Victor Emmanuel , of Sardinia , to his army , on the eve of departure upon its " liberating " expedition , in which ha repudiates all Ambitious designs save those of establishing moral order in Italy , and preserving Europe from tho continual dangers of revolution and war , and takes the opportunity of launching some terrible—because so truthful and so applicable—sarcasms at the mild regime of St . Peter ' s representative .

    It appears to be . settled that the Russian serfs , to the number of 15 , 000 , 000 , are to be enfranchised before next Christmas . The address of the King of Sardinia to his troops prior to their entry in the Marches is of such importance that we giro it in estenso . It ia as follows : — " Soldiers ! You are about to enter the Marches and Unabria , m ordei ?' to establish civil order in the towns now desolated by misrule , and to give to the people the liberty of expressing their own wishes . You vrilL not fight against the armies " of any of the . Powers , but will free those unhappy Italian provinces from the bands of foreign -adventurerswhich infest them . You do not go to revenge injuries done to me and ± o Italy , but to prevent the popular hatred from unloosing itself against the oppressors of the country . . . . " By your example you will teach the people , forgiveness of offences , and Christian tolerance to tho man who compared the love of tho '¦ Italian Fatherland-. to Islainism . ' ,

    " At peace with all the great Powers , and holding myself aloof from any provocation , I intend to rid Central Italy of one continual cause of trouble and discord . I intend to respect the scat of the Chief of the Church , to whom I am . ever ready to give , in accordance with the allied and friendly Powers , all the guarantees of independence and .-security which his misguided advisers have in vain hoped to obtain for him from the fanaticism of the wicked scefc which conspires' against my authority , and against the liberty of the nation . " Soldiers ! I am accused of ambition . Yes ; I have one ambition , and it is to re-establish the principles of moral order in Italy , and to preserve Europe from the continual dangers of rcvolntion and war . "

    ENTERTAINMENTS . Royal Exgxxsh Oieea . —Tho establishment of o great nutioual English opera , which but , a , few years ago was regarded as extremely contingent , if not impossible , is now ajait accompli . The fifth season of the Itoyal English Opera , at Covent Garden , opens on Monday tho first day of next month , and justice requires that wo should specialise tho fact that to tho < f Pyne and Harrison Company " is duo tho credit , oi having inaugurated , and successfully continued an enterprise beset with difficulties , and of tho permanent establishment of which , as an important branch . of art , the nation may with reasongbc proud . Tho preparations for the coming season aro most efficient . To begin with the leading vocal artistes : —A new English prima donna will bo forthcoming ,

    whose voico wo understand possesses great inherent richness , power , and freshness of tone , and has been trained to the highest state of executive proficiency during a sovon years Italian schooling . Wo brlicvo also that prominonfc among tho artistes engaged will bo found some now baritones of high abilities . Tho chorus will be on a scale of magnitude , and will bo characterised by a degroe of finished training not to bo surpassed in Europo ; Of tho band , substantially that of the Kalian Opera , and tho « ' Floral Hall concerts , " nothing need bo said ; its reputation as the first in tho world has beon long firmly established . Ihus far the " expositire" department , which will , wo believe this season , bo engaged in the "interpretation" of now operas by native composers , in every respect worthy of its " rendering . "

    RoYAii Italian Opeua . —Wo believe that Mr .
