The Sahdixi.vx Workmen'. — The'following address was lately presented by the Saidinian workmen while visiting the Exhibition : — " To -the English Society of the Fi lends of Italy in London. — The Italian workmen who have come from the Sardinian States to admire the cosmopolitan industry exhibited in the magnificent Crystal Palace, erected by British genius for so noble a purpose, believe that they would neglect a sacred duty of gratitude if they quitted the shores of the Thames without addressing their warmest thanks to you, the friends sof their unhappy country, oppressed by the stranger. We who, thanks to our statute, enjoy the advantage of free institutions, are yet but divided by the Ticioo from those brethren the cry of whose long martyrdom is first .addressed to us. May the great British nation be impressed by you in favour of the unhappy Peninsula, so that in the approaching struggle of the people she may meet with the powerful support of British influence. May the blessing of that God rest upon you who has marked out with His Almighty finger the boundaries of our nationality. That nationality, opposed -to foreign invasion, and by him who impiously »nd tyrannically arrogates to himself the right of representing the Godiwhp,is , the Father of the peoples on earth, will arise more rapidly if it meet the sympathy of free nations, and more especially of yours.< — The Italian Workmen of the .Sardinian States in London."
