The Red shirt, In the New York Herald of the 24th ult. we find an article upon the red flannel shirt in which Garibaldi conquered Sicily and Naples, and in which he was presented to Victor Emanuel. The Herald thinks the red shirt will, in future, becomes famous as the grey coat and little cocked hat of the first Napoleon. Garibaldi, according to that paper, first conceived the idea of dressing himself and his battalions in that costume from having witnessed the parade of the New York firemen when he lived in that city. He could not certainly have adopted a more picturesque uniform, or one better adapted to secure to the soldier that case and elasticity of movement so essential to the free use of the limbs.--Nothing obstructs freedom of movement in handling the musket or the rifle more than the stiff, closely-fitting uniform and high stock, which has heretofore been esteemed essential to the soldierly appearance of a body of men. These do well enough for parade, but it strikes u

that they are now freemen — but that Italians are still slaves. Rome and Venice, he says, expect his aid, and he hopes all Italy will unite with him when he goes to render it. All Italy must be united under the sceptre of the Re galant uomo, Victor Emanuel. It is impossible to mistake language like this, coming from such a man as is he who utters it. A few short months he proposes to himself to rest from the fatigues of the severe service in which he has been engaged. Those few months, we apprehend, are already nearly exhausted. King Victor Emanuel stands at the head of 500,000 Italians — united for the first time since the destruction of the Roman Empire — ready to open the ball as soon as the spring shall have decidedly set in. To back him, we see that the Emperor Napoleon has already placed 140,000 men on such a footing that they are ready to march at an hour's warning, and these again are supported by 140,000 of the National Guard. There is little of consequence from China<

Victor Emanuel and the stage crown. --A strange affair, says a letter from Turin, has occurred in this city. The municipal council resolved to present King Victor Emanuel, on his return, a gold circlet, representing oak and laurel leaves. But there were only six days to prepare one, and Italian workmen were not active enough to make it in so short a time. A Jew presented himself, and offered for 6,000 francs, a magnificent crown which he had by him. His offer was accepted, and the moneyKing Victor Emanuel, on his return, a gold circlet, representing oak and laurel leaves.

A Jew presented himself, and offered for 6,000 francs, a magnificent crown which he had by him. His offer was accepted, and the money paid; but, lo! the discovery was afterwards made that the circlet in question had been bought at a sale of the effects of Fanny Elisler, the celebrated danseuse, and, as proved by an inscription inside, that it was given to her after a performance at London, by an Englishman who was a fanatical admirer of her dancing. Judge of the effect thus created.--Nothing else is talked of in the city.

een him and the throne — apparently a favorite of the Emperor and believed to be his mouth-piece in the Senate, lately made a speech in which he vehemently assorted the necessity of Italian unity and consolidation. As he is the son-in-law of Victor Emanuel, as well as cousin to the Emperor, it may be well imagined that his speech created a sensation. All Europe understood him to represent both monarchs, as well as himself, when he delivered his oration. Statesmen, diplomatists, journalist is,f Prince Napoleon's speech is to be taken as an oracle, we shall see stirring times in Europe this summer. Austria, we presume, does not mean to give up Venitia without a struggle, and the Italians seem determined to take it without asking. Victor Emanuel has very nearly five hundred thousand troops under arms, about one-half of which are capable of contending with any soldiers in Europe. The shape of Italy — her great length in comparison with her breadth — has heretofore made greatly agains<

The insurgents in Herzegovina have been repulsed by the Turks. Queen Victoria, it has been officially announced, will receive the Marquis D'Azeglio as Ambassador of the King of Italy. The Federal Council of Switzerland have made a similar declaration to the Turin Minister at Berne. It was reported at Rome that Garibaldi had requested his officers residing in Switzerland to be ready to assemble at his summons within fourteen days. The concessions granted by the Czar have not satisfied the people of Poland. The concentration of military continues, and unarmed citizens, as constables, patrol Warsaw. The Emperor of Austria has rejected the Democratic programme of the Hungarian leaders, who demanded the absolute separation of the Hungarian Administration from that of Austria. The Emperor intends abiding by the reforms already granted. Garibaldi had a conference with Victor Emanuel at Genoa, on the 2d inst. Riots have taken place in Russian Poland.

stion, and it is not marvelous, therefore, that the correspondents write, that in most of the great commercial and financial circles on the continent a vague and wide-spread uneasiness exists. A significant symptom of the inclination of Austria, is, the rejection of the Hungarian "programme, " looking to the separation of the administration of Hungary from that of Austria. There is the strongest sort of sympathy between Hungary and Venetia, and Rome — and it needs but some Garibaldi or Victor Emanuel, to re-touch the electric spark which drove the Bourbons out of Southern Italy last summer — to drive the Hapsburgs there, after them. But this is not all. A war of the most formidable dimensions is looming up in Northern as well as Southern Europe. A correspondent of the London Times, under date of Copenhagen, March 28, writes: "We are rapidly drifting into hostilities with Germany. The last attempt of the Danish Government to come to an amicable understanding with the Esta

Canadian Company's screw steamship North American, from Liverpool 25th, via Londonderry 26th. arrived off Cape Race on Saturday, at one o'clock, where she was boarded by the news yacht. Her advices are mainly anticipated by the City of Baltimore at New York. In the British House of Commons, on the 24th ult., the bill opening the burial grounds of the Church of England to dissenters was rejected by a vote of 236 to 165. The French journals republish the Pope's protest against Victor Emanuel's assuming the title of King of Italy. Prince Napoleon has been appointed President of the Commission of Representatives from France at the great exhibition in London next year. The Paris Bourse on the 24th was weak, rentes closing at 68f. 35 The Italian Chamber of Deputies, on the 24th, adopted a resolution declaring that the National Guard of the South had deserved well of the country during recent events.

and Tennessee, and the recent accession of Arkansas to the Confederacy. The question of recognizing seven States in setting up an independent government against twenty-four, is a very different one from that of recognizing eleven States, led by so ancient a Commonwealth as Virginia, acting by authority of a unanimous popular vote — and the secession of the eleven supported by the neutrality of three others. The policy of recognizing the popular choice of rulers has been acknowledged by Europe herself in the vote of the French for Napoleon III, and of the Italians for Victor Emanuel. It would be anomalous indeed, if the same liberties which are accorded to the nationalities of Europe are to be denied to the free and sovereign States of America.--That certainly must at least be a de facto Government which is declared such by eleven sovereign States. That certainly must be something more than an insurrection which two hundred and fifty thousand troops must be called out to put down.
