The day before
yesterday the "Parliament of Italy" opened its first session at
Turin. A great consummation! giving the noblest immortality to Victor Emmanuel
and Cavour. The 18th of February must be marked with a white stone.
A levée at St.
James's Palace. Anxious to receive my mail from home, I remained but five
minutes after passing the Queen. Lord Clyde particularly cordial.
