WE have for a long time read nothing in our con temporary, the J•uraal des .Thlbats, to which we can more unhesitatingly apply the epithet of " twaddle," than its article of Saturday, on the relative positions of the Banks of England and of France. The writer expresses as little the state of public opinion on this subject in France, as he is aware of the now universal feeling in England. To test the credit in which these banks relatively stand. by the sums locked up in bullion in the vaults of each, is to be at least as far back in the science of finance as England stood in 1844. All the experience since gathered has been lost, it seems, upon our friends in Paris. They boast that the Bank of France, on the 2:ith of September, held bullion to the amount of 150 millions of francs, while its liabilities were but 353 millions. The Bank of England held 8,800,000/., with liabilities to the extent of 34,800,0001. From the different propor tions which these sums respectively show, it is argued that the Bank of France, with three-sevenths of its issues locked up in bullion, is safer than the Bank of England, which thinks it necessary to lock up only about one-fourth of its liabilities in the same manner. _ _ We have no desire to argue the assumption, that the notes of a bank which issues only a thousand francs, while it retains five hundred in coin, must be safer than those of either of the great national establish ments thus absurdly compared. No: need we inquire which of the two banks can best afford to repay the 50 millions of francs which constitute the claim of the Emperor of Russia on each. The question is one too grave at the present moment to be made a stalking-horse for national vanity. The pressure of the moment is too severe to lose sight of its cause and its effects in the squabbles of literary partisanship. But we have read the article in question with pain, because we remember that it was argument of that description, followed up by the practice of the Bank of France, which first engendered a bad feeling amongst the mess of the people in France against the successful trading and manufacturing classes. The capitalists, it has been said a thousand times, know the utility of commanding monied resources when they require them, as well as the advantages of having them in a shape that makes these resources unavailable for foreign rivals. Now the number of houses in France which can carry on trade with the aid of two-hundred franc notes, and which can alleviate the pressure of high duties by the help of government credits, is too small in proportion to the mass of the people at large, to make it good policy to sacrifice the latter to the gains of the former. And yet few readers in Paris will see anything but a recommen dation of such policy in the self-complacent remark which concludes the article we allude to, and which triumphantly points to the number of failures in Lon don at a period when credit at Paris is declared to be unshaken. This, by the bye, is unwarranted boasting, at the moment when the French government is confessedly unable to raise a loan. But although the special case thus set up by the French journalist is not worthy of serious argument, yet the mode in which it is put forward is strongly illustrative of the bias which has been given to the public mind in considering the banking question. ICo popular fallacy can boast of rough-riding over common sense like that which has made people fancy that the solidity of a hank depends upon the bullion in its vaults, and therein inferred that its utility stood in an inverse ratio to the extent of its circula tion. Yet upon no broader foundation than this is the whole st: ucture of the Bank Charter Act, with the accompanying limitations on private credit, set up. What security does any bank of issue, even with the largest fund of bullion, offer, if the bills which it holds are worthless? Are the holders of notes of the Bank of Paris to rest contented with the assurance that one-third of their claim exists in the shape of bullion ? Or is not a sounder reason for confidence to be deduced from the expectation that the other two thirds are equally secure? What bank can exist without participating in the merchant's risk? And what security has the public beyond the judgment and knowledge of the banker in whom he places con fidence ? But supposing that the holder of a note discovered in the means by which one-third of its sum was to be secured in bullion a fault by which the other two thirds were specially endangered, what would his opinion then be of the bullion hoard ? If he found that by allowing accommodation to producers the means of consumers were crippled, would he call that doing good business ? Would, under such circumstances, the bullion hoard satisfy his scruples? Now this is exactly what our present restrictive laws are accused of doing. Their operation is to ensure, to the extent of one-third, the payment in bullion of our present issues of notes. But by contracting the currency cf the country they cripple trade, and must ultimately lower wages and check trading exertion. If the present system be persisted in, the pressure will inevitably come round to the bankers, small as their issues are ; for their notes must suffer in the general want of confidence. Frequent presentations will make them refuse dis counts, and the local difficulties thus created may saddle them eventually with bills which, according to all common calculation, ought to be first-rate, but which nevertheless cannot be redeemed. We com plain, therefore, of the system which holds up a security of a portion of issues in bullion as being of more consequence than the good state of the credits which ere pledged for the whole, and on the security of which alone issues ought to be made. . _ •• • But what if a due cultivation of mercantile credit contributed to augment the bullion hoard in the banker's vault ? We maintain that such would be its inevitable result. A currency based upon the trader's wants, and capable of contraction or expansion as these grow or diminish, regulated by the judgment of intelligent bankers and merchants, or manufac turers, and steadied by competition under full pub licity, would bring about an economy of money that would banish a large amount of coin from circula tion. This coin might (if no better use could be de vised) form a hoard less costly than the sums now withdrawn from a contracted currency. Under these circumstances the credit, or banking side of a hank of issue, would resume its natural importance, and the vault would sink to its proper subserviency. This is what is now demanded by the trading world. FEW Englishmen have revisited their native shores after years of absence, spent in danger and heroic efforts for the joint good of their country and of humanity, who have deserved a warmer welcome than Mr. BROOKE, of Sarawak. A young man, he set forth on a life of adventure, as if in search of such a sphere and such a mission, as he chanced to find. His discoveries, struggles, and success, form as in teresting a narrative as any life of any of those old discoverers who set out with fleets and charters, and a sovereign's sanction. Mr. BROOKE commissioned solely by his own generous and ardent spirit. Fleets were afterwards not wanting to the high purpose. They seem to have sprung up by magic to his aid, and to have been conjured up and kept by that chivalrous and disinterested spirit in Mr. BROOKE, which in stantly commanded the sympathy of all our naval cap tains. No sooner does one of them happen to penetrate or cast anchor in the waters of Mr. BROOKE than they are fascinated by his accounts, his projects, and even his Quixotism. None escape his influence; and what ever the orders or the aims of their first adventures into those sees, Mr. BitooxL no sooner boards a royal vessel, than he seems to have L'ken possession of cap tain and crew, and sent them here, ^ r them there, as if ho were a Lord of the Admiralty is those And yet we cannot say that Mr. BROOKE ever wielded his magic power for an unworthy, or foolish, or even an unsuccessful, purpose. However Quixotic or uncalled for it might have been to have invaded the shores of Borneo, for the sake of conquest, or even of avenging outrage, had these seas and realms been merely frequented as of old, it was impossible, since the opening of the Chinese trade, and the conversion sf these seas into its very high road, to leave our vessels, our property and seamen, at the mercy of a population whose predatory habits and daring would inevitably have increased with the quantity and wealth of their prey. The little war, therefore, which we have undertaken, was an imvita- We one. _ . . However little, the war has its seriousness. Piracy in those seas and islands somewhat resembles the slave trade on the African coast. It has demoralised the population, and absorbed all that is bold and energetic of the race in this one lucrative pursuit. There is no other with one hundredth part the chance of gain, and consequently not all the risk of punishment and death will compel the abandonment of it, until higher premiums are offered for honest industry and trade than for man-robbery. In Africa the cruel climate has defeated our every endeavour. In Borneo we have experienced no obstruction from this enemy. But still, the patting down of piracy, and the forcing the Malays and Maks to abandon their predatory habits, is an achievement which, however gallantly commenced, is one that not even Mr. BROOKE himself will probably see the end of. We have an example on the coast of Africa to what expenditure and what sacrifice such aims, however just and philanthropic, may lead, if over zealously or incautiously pursued. We have, however, wisely abstained as yet from risking too much, or venturing too far on Pulo-Kalamantan, as the region is chive - - rously called. We have confined our occupation to an island, with a good port, abounding in coal, in the highway of :trade, and well placed as a depot for such articles as Borneo produces. This is quite enough : and it is to be hoped that we shall carefully avoid further burthens or establishments. At one time our interference and stipulation with the Sultan of BRUM or BonNEO menaced to entangle us in the dynastic and local struggles of the country. The Sultan is, no doubt, a useful ally, and may be very influential, if sincere, in putting a stop to piracy; although the execution of pirates with the royal hand, and at a full court ceremony, is carrying the zeal for our alliance and our views to a pitch that might be dispensed with. What is now to be feared is, lest the Sultan, in recompense for such devotion, may expect to be supported in war by English vessels, whenever it shall please a nephew or a Pangerang to dispute the honour of the throne or his umbrella. In one respect we arc sorry for the appointment of Mr. BROOKE as Consul-General. When a private individual, he placed at once his friends and the public in possession of all his information. But appointed to a diplomatic or administrative post, Mr. BROOKE will be bound to act the mysterious, and to keep for himself and his principals the results of his observa tions and experience. Nevertheless, thronged as we have been of late with heroes from the Asiatic side of the globe, not one of them is entitled to a greater weed of welcome and respect than the Lord of Sarawak. WHEN we seo a man who ocmpics the position Sir ROBERT PEEL does, collecting around him an agricultural congress, uniting "science with prac tice," bringing together men distinguished for sci entific knowledge bearing upon agriculture, and skil ful practical farmers, and when we remember the eminently practical character of the ex-premier's mind, we may be sure that there is some meaning in the movement. The illustrations of the men of sci ence and the facts of the model farmers, interesting as they are, would be neither new enough nor im portant enough to justify a gathering which could not fail to be remarkable. The read ers of the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society will be aware of seme improvements and experiments, particularly in the way of draining. which have been effected, and are in progress, on Sir ROBERT PEEL'S estate, and no educated man can have embarked in the improvement of land without becoming deeply interested in the subject. But we doubt whether the enthusiasm of an improver would alone have induced the right honourable baronet to originate such a meeting as that recorded to have been lately held at Drayton Manor. It is difficult for a statesman and politician in this country, whether in or out of office, to merge his public in his private character, and to divest his acts of a quasi pubiic aspect. And hero there Is a plain and obvious personal and public purpose to be served by such an assembly as that we allude to. Sir ROBERT PEEL, driven from office by the section of the landowners who have arrogated to themselves the special guardianship of the agricultural and landed interest, because he I removed from British husbandry that protection against foreign competition whereon farmers and " farmers' friends" had too implicitly relied, seeks to show by the plainest practical demomtration that he has done no disservice to British husbandry. In answer to the taunts of " treachery," launched at him by the TYRELLS and GRANBY9, he assembles chemists and geologists, who can show the aids to increased production which science has yet in store for the British fanner, and brings them in contact with men who have shown practically the capacity for production which has hitherto remained undeveloped in British soils. Does any one doubt that some such motive must have operated on the mind of the author of the corn law of last year ? Can any one deny that the experiments of a HURTABLE or a Mean, and the details of the results of high fanning by a WOODWARD, and other tenant-farmers, form the most complete refutation of the arguments and statistics of a BENTINCK and a DISRAELI ? Nor is this all. Sir ROBERT PEEL must be aware that the relations of landlord and tenant in England, and the laws and practices which control and regu late those relations, are in a most unsatisfactory state. Nobody knows better the conditions on which alone capital will be invested in husbandry,than Sir Wilmer PEEL; no one has more distinctly announced the principle that on security of tenure all general agri cultural improvements must be based ; and few are more alive to the influence which the discussion of such topics has upon public opinion. Sir ROBERT PEEL must see that the time is come when common sense and common honesty should be applied to the management of landed property. It might be supposed, from the leading part taken at agricultural meetings by landowners and great men, that they are the leaders, and that farmers are the followers in rural improvements; but the reverse is the truth. BAKEWELL, a tenant-fanner, was the first great improver of Leicester sheep, as were Messrs. Cotcisos, farmers also, of short-horn cattle; and tenant-farmers, men who breed live stock for profit, are now, and always have been, the up holders of our national pre-eminence in that branch of husbandry. Let any one go into Smithfield-market and contrast the home-bred cattle with the foreign importations, and compare our own " Downs" and " Leicesters" with long•legged wool-less sheep from the Continent, and he will fully understand the obligations the consumers of meat are under to the breeders cf British live stock. Now, the same degree of enterprise has not been applied to the cultivation of the land as to the breeding of stock, and consequently the same degree of success has not been attained in the ono case as in the other. The reason of the diversity is, the obstacles to good cultivation interposed by landowners. Lord TALBOT, at Drayton Manor, declared that, although a farmer all his life, he did not know how to grow crops till he had visited the farm of Mr. WooDwar.o, a tenant farmer; and Mr. WOODWARD himself stated, " that farming efficiently carried out, with capital and skill, may be made as profitable an investment as railways or other branches of commerce." And this observa tion points to the fact that farming, to bo profitable, must be regarded as an investment of capital; whereas too many landlords, as well as farmers, re gard it as little more than a yearly gathering of the unassisted natural produce of the soil. With tho ex ception of the richest grazing pastures, which are of very limited extent, this is a fatal mistake. And even on the grazing pastures a heavy capital must be invested in grazing stock. And what are the condition. on which " capital and skill" will be in vested in farming ? Mr. WOODWARD told the Drayton Manor congress that he " regarded the ex tensive burning of clay as a most important prac tice ;" yet most clay land farmers are forbidden to burn clay. Again, he urged " the necessity of some enactment " by the legisMturo to secure "to the outgoing tenant the whole unexhausted value of tho improvement , / Ile h 44 outdo." So Mr. Mem detailed his improvements by means of outlays which could only be prudently undertaken by tenants having a long term of posses sion. And Mr. Iluxvilme especially impressed on the landed proprietors present "the duty of allowing tenants to break up the poorer lands now lying ingress," and stated that his own improvements could not have been effected unless his landlord had permitted him to break up grams land, to remove all the hedgerow timber, and to grub up all the hedgerows except the boundary fence. From these premises but one conclusion can be drawn, which is, that landlords must adapt their sys. tern, and the legislature must adjust the law of land lord and tenant, to the exigencies of the times. It is impossible to doubt that Sir ROBERT PEEL himself draws such a conclusion. Nor have we far to go to find landowners fully making such admissions. Be sides the frank advocacy of leases by Lord STR %1)- BROKE, we find Lord SAN DON in North Staffordshire declaring that tenants ought to have leases, and that tenant right—the right to be paid the value of tines hausted improvements—should be applicable to all occupiers, whether holding by lease or other wise. So, at the Lichfield Agricultural Association, Col. ANSON, M.l'., said that " tenants could not be expected to lay out large sums of money in improving their land unless they had some security afforded that they would be allowed to reap the benefit;" and he expressed an opinion that the questions now at issue between landlords and tenants " must be settled in some way, whether by law, or some more amicable manner, and he trusted that that settlement would soon take place." Lord INCESTRE said he " thought that something should bo done to settle the question between landlords and tenants. Ile was opposed to leases ; but he believed that a fair and equitable system of tenant right would be the best arrangement that could be come to." How different is this tone from that assumed by the landowners when struggling to uphold the corn laws. Yet even the majority of them, like Lord INOESTRE, are " opposed to leases," and either refuse to grant them, or incumber them with restrictions and burdens of the most vexatious character. We hail, however, the meeting at Drayton Manor as a good omen for hus bandry, and believe that the time is not fur distant when sound commercial and economical principles will regulate the contracts between landlords and agricul tural tenants. An outline of the following appeared in a portion of our last evening's issue. The Paris papers and our letters of Monday have arrived. They continue to report the progress of the electoral reform agitation. Eight of the councils general, in spite of the moral coercion exercised over these bodies by the government, have declared for re form. The reform banquets continue. Ono was to have been given on Tuesday, at Pierut, in Dordogne; others are about to be held at Blois and Autun. The ministers begin to return to Paris. M. Du chatel has arrived from Itambouillet ; M. Hebert has also returned. The course pursued by the Journal des DRiats (until very recently) of throwing every species of vituperation, ridicule, and abuse on the party in Italy which have joined in the present popular movement 1 towards political reform has been frequently , noticed by all the organs of the press both in. London and Paris. It has also excited tho indignation of the Italian journals. So long as each diatribes wero limited to generalities that admitted of no other answer but similar generalities on the opposite side, the matter was of little consequence. The editor of a Leghorn journal, however, has laid hold of a specific report given by the Journal des Debats, on ti.e professed authority of a correspondent, in which certain popular demonstrations in Tuscany were represented, and has, in consequence, addressed to the editor of the Debate the following letter: Sir,--If it is true that you have a correspondent at Leg horn, and that he has written to you on the festival of the 3th of Sept. in the terms you have published in your paper of the Ilth inst., I must say that if he has not written under the influence of that drunkenness which he attributed to the inhabitants of Leghorn he is a most vile and infamous calumniator, and I have to request you to publish his name that it may be covered with public op, robrium by all civi lised nations. But if, under the pretext of a hypocritical charity, you continue to conceal his name, it will be evident that your correspondent is fictitious, and that the calumny above mentioned is the product of your own vile imagina tion, excited by your cupidity. I congratulate you, Mon sieur Journalist ! If your assertions are paid for in propor tion to their distance from the truth, you have gained by one single article a whole year of the secret funds.—ANOLLO SFOILit. Leghorn, Sept. 21, 1897. P.S.—That the absence of a categorical answer from you may demonstrate with evidence your want of good faith, let me remind you that, by a wise and just disposition of our Tuscan law on censorship, the visa inscribed by the censor on this present article, while it absolves me from further re sponsibility for it to the government, does not relcase me from the obligation of giving an account of my statements to the tribunals relative to what I have published against you or your correspondent, so that if your correspondent (suppos ing such a person exists) or yourself (should that not be the case) can prove the truth of the odious facts you have in vented, and free yourself from the accusation of a vile and unjust slanderer which I have addressed to you, and now again address to you, the tribunal will condemn me to the penalty I have incurred. I defy you openly to confront that Judie..., before which I shall willingly present myself, sup. posted by my right and by the testimony of three Italian towns, united in one on that noble day—by that of tho foreigners of respectability who all took an equal share in zy our joy, I can even rel on the depositions of the French residents themselves at hors, and echo all, or almost all, blush at haring fir their dlow-countryntan the deserter of Ghent ! _ . _ _ A treaty of commerce has been concluded between France and Naples, of which the Monitcur of Mon day gives the following synopsis: the King's government has just exchanged with the government of his Sicilian Majesty the ratifications of a treaty destined to complete the clauses of the treaty of com merce and navigation concluded at Naples on the 14th June, 1845, and the simultaneous execution of which in the two states commenced on the 10th July of the same year. By the convention signed at Paris on the 25th February, 1817, there were stipulated in our favour considerable advantages for commerce; but the changes successively made in the Sicilian tariff of customs had in a few years entirely an nulled their value. In vain did our ambassador protest against modifications which doubled and even trebled the amount of the duties in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies on products of the soil and manufactures of France. The con stant reply to our complaints was that the Neapolitan go vernment, in granting to French commerce a general reduc tion of 10 per cent. on the amount of the customs duties, had not bound itself never to modify its tariffs. The Klan's government, therefore, in 181.5 performed an act really pro fitable to the interests which it had to protect, when it re nounced privileges which, in their application, had become completely illusory, in order to be able to obtain in return important reductions of the duties on special products of our manufactories. The advantages which were conceded to us in the treaty of the 14th June, and by the declaration of the 15th October, 184.5, consisted in a reduction of a third, half, and even two-thirds of the duties in the Neapolitan tariffs on divers French manufactures, and especially the products of the manufactures of Paris. These reductions are now secured to us for a period of ten ycars at least, without prejudice during that period to a reduction of one-tenth on the duties in the tariff as regards French products imparted into the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. At the same time that the Cabinet of Naples was negotiating the treaty which contains these concessions, it was preparing with several other Dowers, particularly England, Austria, Russia, and the United States, treaties which are now in execution, and which confer upon them, without condition of reciprocity, the national treatment as regards the rights of navigation. Similar stipulations had been proposed to the French nego tiators, but as they did not do justice to the earnest and incessant remonstrances of our e - -ewerce aaainst the sur -e- charge on the export of Neapolitan oils in foreign ships, they were by common accord left out of the French treaty. Thin decision, however, was not come to without regret by the two courts, and on each side the hope was retained of being able to come to an understanding as regarded the flags of the two countries. The king's government was in particular desirous of procuring for our exporters in the ports of the kingdom of Naples an equivalent for the advan tages enjoyed at Marseilles by the numerous Neapolitan ' vessels which enter that port. The natural opportunity of again resuming the question presented itself after a discus-1 mon which had taken place on the application of one of the articles of the treaty. The negotiations were therefore resumed, and his Sicilian majesty having, in the course of them, issued a decree suppressing the surcharge on the ex port of oils in favour of foreign flags, the king's government did not hesitate to subscribe to the proposition for en a t ldf. tional convention to the treaty of the 14th June, 1815. In virtue of this new arrangement, all the products of the soil and manufactures of the two countries coming from one of them into the other, are to be subj ected there to the same duties and to enjoy the same favours, whether imported in French or Neapolitan vessel.; and the products whivh can he legally exported or re-exported from one of the two countries to the other, are to be subjected to the same duties and to enjoy the same favours, whether effected by the vessels of one country or the other. In the second place, all French ships arriving in the port of the Two Sicihe., and all the ships of the Two Sicilia arriving in the French porta, will on their entries and departures be put on the same footing as the ships of the two nations respectively, in everything that relates to navigation duties properly so called : provided such ships come direct front one of the ports of France into one of the ports of the Two Sicilia, or from one of the ports of the Two Sicilia' to one of the ports of France. Such is in substance the treaty recently entered into between tho cab!. nets of Paris and Naples. The financial measures which it necessitates will be submitted to the approbation of the two chambers at the opening of the next session. The carrying into execution, of the convention of May 12, will complete the stipulatims which for two years have formed till basis of the relatiou of commerce and navigation between the two countries. ty an arrangement concluded between France and the Two Sicilia on the 17th May last, and ratified on July 19, the two courts regulated the intervention of their respective cresols in the disposition of the property of deceased persona The Madrid mails of the 28th have arrived. It was generally expected that before the 10:1 inst. several decrees of great importance, affecting the church, the bourse, and commerce, would be promulgated. Operations for account, at the Bourse, would, it was said, be re-established. and modifications of the tariff decided on. It was reported that after the publication of these decrees M. Salamanca would confer personally with the deputies, and, in case he should find any formidable opposition to be declared on their parts, that ho had decided to dissolve the Cortes. The general opinion in Madrid appeared to be, that dissolution in such a case was probable. M. Pacheco had left for Rome, where he is nomi nated ambassador. One of the private letters coming from the moderado party says that the ministry had decided to order General Narvaez to return to Paris, and that the general had a long interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the result of which was not agreeable to the general. We learn, by advices received from Italy, that Lord 'Alinto had arrived on the 26th ult at Caluso, a villa near Turin, the residence of the English minister to that court. It was expected that his lordship would remain for some Vine at Turin. A semi-official journal of Paris, Le Censerratotr, attempts to discredit the liberal tendencies ascribed to the King of Sardinia. If that journal can be credited, the letter of the king to his secre tary, which was printed in immense numbers, and circulated throughout the entire extent of the terri tory of l'iedmont, is a mere fiction—an impudent fabrication, which it is insinuated Charles Albert has not publicly disavowed, although, to his intimate friends, he has said enough to show them that he was not the writer of such a document. In short, according to the Conserrateur, Charles Albert is not unwilling to accept the popularity produced by the circulation of the fiction, but is unwilling to ac cept the responsibility it might impose upon him in his diplomatic relations with other states. Letters from Vienna to the 21th ult. clear up one of the contradictions we have noticed. It appears that tho execution of the arrangement respecting Ferrara, which we reported some days since, is postponed for the present, on the plea of the news which arrived at Vienna of disturbances alleged to have broken out in Lucca, Tuscany, Parma, and Modena. Orders had actually been ex pedited for the evacuation of the town of Ferrara, but had been countermanded. The Rhenish Obsercer, commenting on these facts, says: The opinion prevails that the right; Austria pO3SCIIICA over the countries above mentioned, governed by Austrian princes, are to be main:tired, if necessary, by the strength of arms. What is certain is, that if, for example, a liberal constitution, or even en ultra-liberal constitution, which is not beyond the limits of possibility, should be adopted in Tuscany, Austria would consider it to be her duty. in virtue of her rights of succession, to expostulate against such a state of things, either by a protestation, or by an intervention in due form. The conduct of the Duke of Lucca, as well as that of the Grand Duke of 'll:treaty, has met with general dis approbation in every region of our society, and it is believed that all the events which have occurred at Leghorn and Florence were not commanded by the force of circum steno( s. The resolutions concerning the affairs of Italy have been decided on, in the conference which took place on the 18th of this month. The tilazetta Pririkagiata di Lucca of the 276 a Ats contains tho new law on the press. It allows every person the right of publishing his opinions, and dis cussing the acts of the government; it forbids all pub lications cantrary to the Christian religion, public morals, and the rights of the sovereign; as also all offences against governments, magistrates, ministers of worship, foreign princes and their representatives, and all writings directly subversive of public order or the safety of the state. A committee of preventive censorship, composed of three censors and two substi• ' tutes, is established, against whose decision an appeal may be laid before a superior council of censorship, composed of five members and two substitutes. The approval byf one censor establishes the right of publi cation. 'transgressions of the present law are punished with fines front 23 to 200 lire, and impri sonment from a fortnight to six months in the first instance; for a second transgression the amount of fine and term of imprisonment is doubled. The Roman Adcertiser, of the Vith, has the fol lowing : The affairs of Naples wear a most serious . aspect. The king maintains an attitude of terrible severity. Instant death awaits all who have meddled with, or borne part in, the insurrection, and Sicily is a veritable slaughter-house. The worst news front Naples—a reign of terror !It is asserted that, quite recently, twelve persons were condemned to be shot —on counting the bodies, they were found to be thirteen. —ln Messina the immense number of troops sent from Naples had compelled the insurgents to retreat to a distance until more matured events :strata admit of their return. Favoured by the small military force stationed in Malam.o, they had succeeded in possessing themselves of the armed pasts there, and exciting the popu lam to arms. Thus much accomplished, they had re tired into the interior of the island, inducing all the districts through which they passed to arm themselves, so that it be gins to he dangerous, or at least difficult, for the troops to pe netrate into the country, as they will have to fight their way past every house, as long as the excitement thus aroused en dures. Much is hoped from this. The chief is said to be a certain Antonio Miler°. In general the number of the killed is stated at about thirty ; but the loss of the soldiers is not known, as they have carefully concealed the bodies, and the wounded are provided for in the military hospital, with which there is no extraneous communication. The town is patrolled by troops. Nothing is heard but praises of the ex traordinary courage shown by that handfal of men, about a hundred in all, who fought openly through the streets, and, who being almost all good marksmen, must have done con siderable mischief among the troops. Each man took de liberate aim, sad it is more than probable that many shots took effect. A report prevails in Messina that those who had made themselves masters of Reggio, having received the fire of 14 charges of grape from 4 steamers drawn up along the shore, had been forced to retire and quit the city. They are, however, mush more numerous than the Messinese, since it appears they have found an echo in the population, and having penetrated among them, have traversed all the adja cent districts, exciting them to arm. Their numbers are so far extended in this quarter, that troops are now landing at various points of Calabria; they do not, however, march inland,perhaps from the fear of finding themselves blockaded among the mountains and woods, or of meeting with too strong a resistance. It is at least a tact to be gathered from the language of these people, that, in spite of the losses they have suffered, and the presence of so many troops, they are cheerful in the great confilence which animates them. In Naples, on the 10th, two frigates, with troops, were ready to sail, and a steamer had left the port, having in tow two paranselle, filled with soldiers, destined therefore to land at some points where the water is shallow. Their destination, however, is not known, but is conjectured to be either Cala bria or Sicily. More arrests have taken piece at Naples, to such a number that it is said about a thousand are incar cerated in Naples and Sicily together, for political causes. The Nuremberg Corrcsyontkne gives the follow ing, under the date of Rome, Sept. 20: A short time since a Jew was arrested at Viterbo, and conducted hither. He was the bearer of letters from the ex-governor Gramelini and the lieut.-colonel Nardoni. It is not ascertained to whom these letters were addressed, but they are now in the hands of government. We hear (rain Genoa that the Sardinian government is about to send a ship of the lino to station near Civita Vecchia. The King of Sardinia has ordered the fortifications of Alexandria and Novara to be repaired immediately. The deputies whom the inhabitants of Tuscany wish to send to Rome, to thank Pim IX. in the name of all the Tuscan towns, will strive at Leghorn on the 2.3 th, and on the 30th will concert on the most proper manner of fulfilling their mission. They are to start on the Ist Oct Government has placed a steamer at their disposal. The Suabian Mercury gives the following, under the date of Venice, Sept. 26 : It appears that there was sonic dread of disturbances, yes terday evening, on the occasion of the tombola which had taken place in honour of the congress. A great number of persons had thronged together in the square of St. Mark. The number is said to have reached 50,000. Measures are said to have been taken to put out the gas lights. Fortu nately, nothing of the kind occurred. The measures adopted by government have prevented the execution of this plot ; so all went off peaceably. This morning can he seen in some ports of the town these words, written with charcoal Viva Pio IX Viva Italia !" • ••- - - The Aagsbary Gazette of the Ist has the following, without dates: It was said at Rome that a letter was to be sent to all the bishops of Christendom. requesting them to order prayers to be said in their respective dioceses in favour of the states of the church, but that diplomacy has succeeded in its efforts to cause tkis grave determination to be relinquished.—We re ceive a letter from Lucca of the 21th inst. The duke was expected to return on the ensuing day.—lt was said that the Empress Maria Louisa had abdicated ; nearly at theaame moment we receive letters from Vienna announcing the re turn of her MujeetT to Parma.—We receive letters from Naples stating the insurrection of the two Calabrias to be stifled up in every part. However, government was making great preparations of military defence to maintain order in every direction. Reports of the preliminaries of internal conflict continue to arrive from Switzerland. The result of the Landsgemeindc of Schwytz, which we gave yes- terday on the authority of some Swiss journals, seems to be exaggerated. Oat of 8,000 votes about 2,000 favoured obedience to the decrees of the federal government. The report made by a Besancon journal of the expedition of large convoys of arms and ammu nition, including numerous pieces of artillery, to the cantons of the Sonderbund from the arsenals of France, is fully confirmed by letters from Berne of the 30th ult. So far as these accounts can be relied on, the French government giving active support and sending supplies to the recusant cantons, and at the same time affording them support and countenance by her diplomacy, renders it almost certain that the federal government will be compelled either to allow its decisions to be set at defiance or to enforce them at the point of the bayonet and the cannon's mouth. Among the liberal cantons the foremost in their war like preparations are the large and powerful cantons of Barge, Zurich, and Vaud. The first has ready for the field nearly 20,000 infantry, sixteen companies of carbineers, sixteen batteries of artillery, and six companies of chasseurs a cheval. The second has 10,000, and the third 18,000 men ready for action. The central government at Berne had re ceived despatches from Fribourg, with the intelligence that a collision had already taken place, the militia of Fribourg having violated the Bcrnese territory and fired over the inhabitants of one of the villages. Accounts from Geneva represent opinion in that can ton as being more divided on the questions agitated. The Basle Ga:ette announces that an alarming dis turbance has broken out in the canton of Neufchatel, which is a principality annexed to the crown of Prussia, at the same time that it forms one of the confederated states of Switzerland. A revolutionary was celebrated there on the 12th of September, the authors of which the government were not able to detect At Vallengin the portrait of the King of l'russia was decapitated in the hull of the Pekin de Justice. The council of state was in session, and the militia was called out. Apprehensions of serious results were entertained. MADRID, SEPT. It seems that Salamanca's five decrees, coming BO thick on one another, have fairly knocked the breath out of the press. To-day the papers of all colours aro full of generalities about the constitution, and so forth. Analysis and criticism are deferred till to- morrow. The Clamor, usually so cool and argumen tative, is in a foaming rage at the dictatorial measures, which, it says, only want the formula used by the kings of Castile in the middle ages : " Valgan como si estuviesen hechos en Cortes" (to hold good as if made in Cortes), in order to present a perfect pattern of feudal legislation. Strange to say, the licraltlo, hitherto the bitterest foe of the government, abates much of its opposition. and even approves the sale of municipal property, although, in common with nearly all the other journals, it condemns the alienation of charities. Are we to conclude that Narvaez is advan cing to a league with Salamanca ? There are other circumstances which favour such a supposition, not to attribute much weight to the nods and wreathed smiles exchanged in the opera-box of some mutual friend, such as Buschenthal, which are much noticed and commented on by the Wands of the pit. It seems, in fact, that the subject, which at present absorbs the attention of ministers is, what shall be done with the Duke of Valencia? A day or two ago Narvaez de clared to his friends his intention of resigning his ambassadorship, but was by them dissuaded from this step. I hear that the government are divided as to whether they shall insist upon his resignation or his return to Paris, for it is out of the question his continuing to receive 23,000 dollars a year for doing nothing, or rather, for being a centre of intrigue at Madrid. Besides these, there is a third course in pow, which is to set him at the head of the ministry. I have already spokeuof the friendsnpon whose services he can reckon, among its members. The awfelly bold plunge made by Salamanca, who, like a desperate player, stakes his life on the cast, does not imply, as the Corrco asserts, an intention of forming a great ministerial party in the country, for the majority of the five measures he has just proclaimed aro essen tially unpopular. The constitutional progresistas having declared war against him, his only remaining resources are the ayacuchos, or Narvaez; and if Men dizabal and his party follow the example of the Cortina set, Don Jose will be put to his last card, the hero of Ardoz. Meantime the tone of the Expect:Om., organ of the Mendizshal-progresistas, is cold and reserved towards the ministry. The report of the .Pepidur that Mr. Bulwer had solicited his recall, which went the round of the papers yesterday, is utterly unfounded. The good-natured suppositions are eqaally false which that evening journal (nicknamed the I arolito, or little Faro) ap pends to its false report—namely, that the bad health of the English minister-plenipotentiary was the ex cuse, but the real cause of his retreat was Lord Pal merston's disapproval of his diplomacy; the fact being that Mr. Bulwer received with his last des patches the most unqualified approbation from our foreign minister of all that he had done. For the rest, although Mr. Bulwer obtained some months' leave of absence from Madrid some time ago, for the purpose of recruiting his health, he has no intention ((news which is not likely to be very agreeable to the Popular party) of availing himself just yet of the same. The fact of our government having rejected the plan of a treaty of commerce which was drawn up be tween Senor Salamanca and Mr. Bulwer has, I be lieve, encouraged the notion expressed by the Popular. But every one knows that negotiations of this kind are frequently set in train and broken off without the least reflection of blame from the government upon its envoy. The news from Catalonia is not very stirring. Concha is going to establish telegraphs throughout the principality, beginning with the coast line, a measure of excellent promise. Letters from the Canaries have appeared in the Eco, giving notice of warlike preparations of the authori ties as if against an attack. This mystery is variously handled by the other papers. Baschenthal has been appointed Geutilhombre do Camara to the Queen. General Alaix has been pre sented with the title of Duke of Vcrgara. The Heraldo gives the following list of new governors-general :—New Castile, Llorente ; Old Cas tile, Ponzoa ; Galicia, Bonifazio do Cordova ; Cata lonia, General Lavalette ; Valencia, General Sake ; Granada, Cavestani ; Seville, Gispert ; Estremadara, Lille ; Aragon, General Lavigne. The Clamor draws attention to letters fromCorunna denouncing an extensive plot of reactionary tendency. On the let of October the Bank of San Vernando is to receive 60 millions of reels from the government, in part payment of arrears. As soon as they got notice of this happy news the bank junta assembled imme diately, to vote an address of thanks to the minister from whom it came. • •-- ----- -- Some business has been done in the Three per Cents, to-day, at 261. FRANCE.—PARIfi, OCT. 4.—THE VINTAGE IN Fa.ANCE.—The vintage is become general in the south of France. In Provence, Itoussilloa, the arrondissements of Narbonne, Bhiers, Montpellier, and Nimes, the produce is I estimated by the growers at a fifth more than last year, but some accounti make it amonnt to half as much more. In the Armagnac, Bordelais, and Saintonge, the first gatherings indicate a larger quantity than had been expected, and con sequently empty casks hare greatly risen in value, and there must he a large increase in the distillation of brandy. The Loire will afford an abundance of white wines, and the Or leanais, though severely touched by the frost in March, will be less poor than was feared. The Rh,Me will produce well, both in quantity and quality. The large quantity of wine which will be made this year in certain parishes of hl.lcon may be estimated by the fact that a wine-grower of Prime has obtained 150 hectolitres of wine (about v 0 hogsheads) per hectare. MADAME Vinocca..—The wife of the well known ex.police agent, Mme. Vidocq, committed ruicide at St. ManU, where her husband had some years ago attempted to establish a paper manufactory. She had been for some time suffering from tumour, which the faculty lately declared to be incurable. On Thursday, being alone with the nurse who attended her, she asked for a glass of ens SucrEe. This being brought, she told the woman to bring her from a cup board a little phial, which, she said, contained essence of orange-flower, but which was in reality laudanum. • She poured some of this into the glass, and in consequence of taking it expired in an hour afterwards. Tho clergy of St. Manch:, having refused to receive the body into tho church, it was carried direct to the cemetery under the surveillance of the commissary of police. Some workmen and the poor of the parish, to each of whom Vidocq had distributed an 81b. loaf, followed the corpse. INFERNAL MICIIINES.—Two fulminating bombe exploded on Friday evening in the Faubourg St. Antoine and the Marais. On this occasion two men were errested for having thrown theca. They were recognised as work men known for their extreme radical opinions. Being pieced provisionally in the poste of the Place de la Bastille, they at tempted to effect their escape by unfastening the iron bars of the window. Thee were surprised in the midst of their work and removed to the Prefecture of Police.

It is proposed to divide Galicia into two governments, and the Polish nobles are in dulging in the hope that the Archduke Albert will he nomi nated viceroy of Galicia, and take up his resident cin Cm oow.—Nuremberg Courier. RUSSIA AND POLAND.—The chief object of the emperor's journey through the Russian provinces is said to be that of military inspection ; but fear of the cholera has, no doubt, much to do with it. Two days before his departure tho Czar and the Grand Duke Michael attended the military reviews at Moscow. During the emperor's absence, the empress and junior members of the royal family will remain at Zarskoje Selo. From the official reports received by the government, it appears that the cholera is spreading more and more in the inner governments of the kingdom. It travels in two distinct lines ; following the course of the Volga, it approaches the northern provinces, and has already penetrated to the very furthest part, having been carried thither by vessels from Artacran to Saraton, having on board some persons who were suffering from this fatal malady. It may be ob served, that by means of water communication it is spread far more rapidly than by land. The other course which it follows is from the Caucasian prorinces, north-westwards; there it has already peactrated as far. es Kursk. A Russian vessel, which was an quarantine, and seized in KerUcb, con veyed the cholera to this city. The rapid spread of the fear ful.pestilence excites the greeted alarm among all classes. It is asserted that it has crossed the Dniesser, and is com mitting fearful ravages among the population. As soon s! the Emperor had been informed that it had crossed the Don, he hastened his departure for the southern provinces, and sent orders for Count Paskewitsch to meet him on his journey, probably at Kiew. The latter, therefore, left the Polish capital immediately having first called together a consultation of the medical men, for the purpose of uniting arrangements fur the re-establishment of the lumina, and taking other precautionary measures, in the event of the epidemic reaching that city. The government has granted to the fisheries on the coast of Archangel the privilege of im porting from Norway the quantity of salt requisite for carrying on the herring fishery, duty free. This is an im mense boon to the poor people of the coast, who use large quantities of salt, and most of whom are engaged in the tith ing trade.
