in Rome worthy of remark. The city had been suffering from a severe inundation, the Tiber had left its deposit of yellow mud in the streets, and the Pantheon was still more or less surrounded by water, the weather was bitterly cold, when about fifty or sixty thousand Romans who had assembled to make a loyal demonstration expressive of their horror and indignation at the attempted crime, marched through the streets nearly all night, with bands playing the royal march, etc.; and when they had gone from the Quirinal to the Capitol, where the syndic brought out the king's bust to please the excited crowd and made a speech to them, they all turned with one accord, and without any preconcerted arrangement, to the Pantheon to do honour to the memory of the dead king, and walked round the church in solemn silence.
We do not believe there ever was a monarch whose death called forth such spontaneous demonstrations of loyal affection, or who was followed to the grave by such profound sorrow. With the exception of Garibaldi, he was the last of that noble band of patriots who initiated in North Italy the work of Italian independence. And with the death of her chivalrous king the nation feels the romance of her youth is passed. She now enters on a new and more prosaic era-let us hope a happier and more peaceful one-under a sovereign who has already proved himself a worthy successor of il Rè Galantuomo. And though the heart of the Italian nation is still 'in the coffin there with Cæsar,' it is the just inheritance of Cæsar's son.
May he live to deserve it, and enjoy it!
