As considerable interest ‘s manifested in the Italian question, we have adopted measures to obtain the latest information from one who ig recently from the seat of war, and who, from the prominent position he there occu- pied, is qualified to give information not usually found in the newspapers. The gentleman to whom the Hxralp ie indebted for what is to follow is Col. Leonetti Cipriani ‘an officer in the Italian Legion, and not, as was stated, she le-camp of Prince Napoleon. The Colone! says all the accounts from Italy received through the English press are, in the main, quite correct As far a8 he can judge from the correspondence of the New York papers, they are correct, too. The much ‘vaunted Ministry promised to Sicily, however, he says amounts to nothing. The fact is, the Sicilians regard it with the greatest scorn and contempt. Every movement of General Garibaldi is coolly calculated, and the effects estimated beforehand, o that the great chief must not be regarded merely as at the bead of a band of guerillas, but really as a regular general, who takes into considera- tion after consequences, as well as the immediate results of apy gallant dash he may make. In # word, he com- bines the prudence and foresight of a Washington with the impromptu bravery of a Marion. General Garibaldi, in his endeavors to free Italy, is, in reality, carrying out the programme of the Emperor of the French—to free Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic, Col. Cipriani does not indeed say, in 0 many words, that the Emperor aids Garibaldi secretly in this great under. taking, but sufficient leaked out in tho course of our re. Porter's conversation with him to warrant the conclusion that the ¢ympathies of Napoleon III. in this matter are more active than passive. Nor this alone—Russia, Aus- tria, Pruseia, will not interfere, still lees England, to re. place the yoke around the necks of the people of Lom- bardy, Tuscany, Parma, the Romagna, or any other coun- tries of Italy which have rescued themselves from the foreign yoke, or which may hereafter achieve the samo freedom for themselves. In fact, the great Powers of Europe seem disposed to look on and witness the working out of the problem of Italian liberty, which has for several hundrei years been con sidered go difficult of solution, in consequence of the divi- sions among the Italians themselves. ‘The Colonel says that Garibaldi, in his campaign against the Neapolitan government, was not influenced by any direct invitation from the people of either Naples or Sicily, nor England or any other foreign country, but simply from a desire to make the whole of Italy a free country, and that his inception of the great, and, as was supposed, hopeless scheme, has been seconded in ® manner exceeding even his ardent ocxpecta- tions, So demoralized are the people of Naples that they are totally incapable of forming an intelligent opinion of the state of degradation to which they have ‘been reduced, and without a ‘leader like Garibaldi, who understands the entire matter, the Neapolitans and Sici- lians would not have the slightest chance of succeeding, even against the contemptible government of the Bour- bons. In regard to the famous lazaroni, of whom we bave beard so much, in connection with their proclivities towards the existing goverument, Colonel Cipriani gives this rational explanation: that they are the bumble ser- vants of thove who happen to be in power, provided that they feed them well; and as Francie 1. is on the throne, thoy will adhere to him as long as he occupies that position, but that the moment Garibaldi, or any one clse, makes his ap- pearance, their ancient allegiance will be forgotten, and their vivgs be swarded to him who happens to be in power. In regard to the priesthood, the old men are generally in favor of the ancient order of things; but with the young men it is quite different, In Sardinia, Lombardy, ‘the Romagna, Napoli, Tuscany, Parma—in fact, through- out Italy—ultramontanism exists only with the old fogics tm the church. The sympathies of the young priests are with the new order of things. But notwithstanding the apparent apathy of the people of Naples, created by the crushing despotism to which they are subjected, there is an undercurrent of feeling ‘among the most patriotic, which would bail the appoar- ance of Garibaldi before that city with an enthusiasm characteristic of the Italian people; the genera! inm- pression is that be will, after the cone'sion of the campaign in that part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies comprised in the island, which was the point of attack, present himself, with a respectable number of followers, before the the city of Naples iteclf, about Sep tember. That Garibaldi will gain ponsession of Naples when once be appears before it is no longer @ matter of doubt, in view of the quiescence of the great European Powers. Austria, which is more interested in the issue, will not dare interfere, for the best of all reasons—she is in the position of a bankrupt. She was pretty well used up before the commencement of the late war, but her con- dition is such now that a month or so may bring the an- pouncement that she is entirely insolvent. Well, when all the Italian States already enumerated are free, the only one left will be Venetia. Nothing exhibite the prudence of the Italians in brighter colors than their intentions towards Venetia, which are to make the offer of purchase, when all the rest of Italy has fallem into the hands of their rightful owner#—the Italians. But if Austria refuses to sell, Ve- netia is to be taken by force; and this is no vain boast, when it is rememberod that the united Italien people will then number from 24,000,000 to 30,000,000, all animated by one desire—a united Maly; considering, too, that the other Furopean nations will not interfere. ‘That all these ideas of Col. Cipriani may be realized must be the wish of every American heart, and as to their feasibility, in view of recent events, there can no longer be adouht Coromers’ Inquests.

Thirty Buildings and Twenty Stables Setally aDeitroyed—Twe Firemen In- Jered a One 8: er 000. jam Strack—Loew Ov: Adout twelve o'clock yeeteriny acon a deatractive fire originated in the Ninth ward, which spread so rapidly that before the firemen could arrest the progress of the flames thirty buildings and twor'y muvies worv totally destroyed. The fire first broke out in the railing ma.ufactory of ‘William Van Tassel, located in what is called “Pig alley,” which runs through the centre of the block from Wash- ington to West street, aud between Charles and Perry. Located in this alley are about fifty stables, or stalls, oo- cupied by cartmen and the New York Ice Company, most of which contained a large quantity of bay. The abop of Van ‘Tassel being of wood and dry material, it was but a moment before ‘t was enveloped in flames. Attached 10 tbe Van Taseel’s shop were the stables occupied by the New York Ice Company. These were soon on fre, and the flames wore not jong in communicating t the buildings frontiag on Washington, Perry and Charles streets. About cight or ten were discovered on fre at the eame time, and for ‘want of hose the firemen were unable to get a stream of water on each building. Though the bells rung promptly the firemen were very slow in reaching tho fire, whichwas no doubt owing to the excessive heat and many being down town at busiaces. Though small in numbers they worked with great energy, and regardless of the intense heat of the day, accom- panied by the heat of the flames, they battled nobly, until finally, after nearly five hours’ arduous labor, they succeeded in getting the upper hand of the fire aud pre- venting its further progress. ‘The scene at the fire was for over two hours one of great confusion and excitement. Men, women and chil- dren were running here and there with pieces of furni- ture, while the firemen were changing from one place to another in order to keep water on each building. The fire, after reaching the office of the Ice Company, No. 165 Charles street, which was a small one story brick building, soon communicated to the roofs of Nos. 153, 151 and 149. No. 153 was occupiod by Mr. Wynch, agent of the Ice Company. It was but a short time re the whole building was a perfect wreck.

Brilliant Side ts — The Exact Positions of the Com- batants Disclosed, &e., &., OLD ABE LINCOLN.. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, Borrao, July 7, 1860. The Presidential Question—Old Abe Lincoln First—-The Rest Nowsere—New York All Right~Ditto New Jersey and Pennsylvania, dc. The sagacious Hxratp seems to be for once perplexed with reference to the approaching election for a President of the United States, and no wouder, considering the confu- sion of our political parties, resulting from the dissolution of the democracy. The Herat, however, is very indus- triously laboring to ascertain if there cannot be some way, to the right or the left, by hook or by crook, by which Lincoln can be defeated. You may as well give it up, Mr. Bennett ; it won’t do. The child is christened, and bis name is “Old Abe.” ABs Suro as an eclipse of the sun occurs on the 18th of July, 80 sure will old Abe Lincoln be elected President in November ext, if he lives. Only the direct interposi- tion of Providence can save the democracy—the Breckin ridge mes, the Dovglas men, and the so-called Bell- Fverett party, from the unfortunate result of old Abe's election, Fremoct, in this State, in 1856, received geome 276,000 votes. We shal! make it the even 00,000, at least, for Abraham Lincoln. Yon are right about New &e, York. She holds the election in her hands; but it is all settled. The vote of New York will, in all proba bility, reach a total of, say 625,000—for Lin. coln for Douglas '200,000, for’ Breck! 325,000, inridge 75,000, and for Bell and Fverett 25.000, or im that p. It is even very doubMul ‘whéther the vote for Bell and Byerett will reach the figures at which I have put it down, for in this county of Frie, the Inte American party, en masze, have come over 0 Old Abe, with the ex of Millard Fillmore and General’ Gustavus wind’s eye, being satisfied with his revenge on Seward, and Scroggs only wauts to be approached in the right way to bring him round. New York being thus all right and tight, we have vo spprehersion in apy other quarter. ‘The proceed ings of the democracy of the United States Sevate an the tariff question and the Homestead bill have settled the case for New Jersey and Peunsylvania, whose people are firm believere in the doctrine of protection and free farms for free men.
