COUNT CAVOUR AND THE EARL OF CLARENDON. The Dibats publishes the following letter from Ayward Caron; nephew sod private secretary to the ]ate Count errant., in reply to the remarks made by Lard Clarendon in the House of Lords on certain letters of Count Cavour published some months ago. The reason why this contradiction hu not appeared earlier is that M. Aymard Cavour has been absent on a voyage to fiennaar, and re ceived neither letters nor journals for some months. The letter is dated Turin, 29th October : . "At the beginning of the present year an agent of L Rattassi published, in a Turin periodical, certain letter of Count de Cavour. This which in my opinion was not intended for such a premature pahliaity,gave an account of certain conversations which took place be tween Lord Clarendon and Count de Caveat at the time of the Congress in Paris. Lord Clarendon, in an illustrious assembly, has thought proper to impeach the accuracy of the naming, given by Count de Cavoor. His lordship, after a:preening the embarrassment he felt at having to contradict a man who could no longer defend himself, at last so far overcame that feeling as to state his opinion that the amount given by Count de Cavour was not only inaccurate, but that Count de Cavour himself, when writing it, could not have thought it cone& Such as accusation against a man in the tomb required vouohers. Lord Clarendon has not hose able to find say dosement re lating to the subject on which he addressed the House of Lords. The noble lord had not thought proper to oommu nicate to his colleagues the almost daily conversations be held with Count Cavour. His lordship's assertions rest there fore solely on his own memory. In this same Congress of Paris, Lord Clarendon advocated the union of the Princi palities : some months later he opposed it, as Minister of Foreign Affairs. I therefore think that lam not mistaken in asserting that the noble lord's memory has not served him better in the present matter. I accompanied my uncle to the Congress of Paris as his secretary, and during his journey to London after the Congress. As Lord Clarendon says, the hopes which Count de Cavour had conceived at that epoch formed almost the exclusive subject of his con versations and correspondence, and I affirm that the impres sion left on his mind by those conversations with Lord Clarendon was constantly the mine as that ex pressed in his letters to M. Itattami ; that the impression which he manifested on leaving Lord Clarendon's drawing room is to be found in all his correspondence, and that it remained the same several years later, when the words of Lord Clarendon could be of no prsctical interest. Lord Clarendon seems to think that if Count de Cavour were still living he would himself have acknowledged the inaccuracy of his letters to M. Rattazzi. I am at a iOllll to conceive what grounds the noble lord can have for so paradoxical an opinion. My own conviction is precisely contrary. The future will show which of us is wrong." ST.

The following conwspndence has been supplied to us through Mr. Heywood, secretary of the Cotton Supply Association at Manchester : --- - - Foreign-ofsos, Nov. 5. Sir,—l am directed by Earl Russell to state to you, for the information of the Manchester Cotton Supply Association, that his lordship has received a report from the United States to the following effect, viz.:—That, at the corn. mencemen of the civil war, the whole amount of cotton in the South was about 4,200,000 bales ; that about 1,000,000 bales are supposed to have been destroyed, and that another 1,000,000 will have been irreparably injured from not having been properly ginned, baled, and stored, and that conse quently, when allowance is made for the small portion which by one means or other has found its way into the market, the quantity that would be forthcoming if the ports were to be opened immediately would not exceed 2,000,000 of bales. As regards the crop of 1862, which is not yet picked, it is not estimated at more than one million of bales, and even this small amount will probably be so reduoed from the dif ficulty of obtaining labour for pi.king, and hemp and other necessary materials for baling and storing, that the supply for the market will be trifling. As regards hemp, however, it appears that a good deal is to be obtained from the Blue Grass Region of Kentucky. It is stated that, if the war should continue, the land in 1863 will be cultivated for corn and not for cotton, and that under any circumstances it would take the cultivators of cotton some time to recover from the state of disorganisation into which that cultivation has been thrown.-1 am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, G.

When this miserable contest began, I had upwards of one hundred thousand dollars loaned out to the cotton planters, as loans predicted on the crop of 1861. This I consider a total loss. The planters refuse to acknowledge any interest on claims, and it will not be long before they will repudiate both principal and interest. I am therefore anxious to leave a country in which there is no security either for life or property. I now make you the same offer I made to Lord Russell and Sir Charles Wood. Having lost a handsome competency here, I cannot afford to go out as an adventurer ; but if lam guaranteed an appointment wich as will enable me to main tain my family in a respectable position, I promise I will do more for the benefit of my country than expect in return. A communication addressed to me, care of ber British Majesty's consul. New Orleans, will have prompt attention. I left Mississippi ten days since. The cotton crop is very inferior, and not over one-third of the usual quantity of land was planted. The planters have not bad sufficient bagging and rope to wrap up the crop of 1861, sod thecotton is rotting in the woods. It was hauled out from the gins in the seed, and a large portion is very imperfectly sheltered. The government at Richmond are endeavouring to buy the cotton, giving in exchange the bonds of the government, bearing eight per cent. interest. The security don't meet with much favour by the planters. One thing, you need not look fur any cotton from this country for some years to come. This war has hardly begun, and, when I assert this, I judge from observations carefully made, but which I cannot communicate for the present. The Chairman Cotton Supply Association, Manchester.

The rivers are already swollen by the rams ; and in various parts of Italy twenty bridges have been either seriously injured or carried away. Most of them, it is true, are small, but without them commu nication between different places is impossible, and it will costa great deal to replace there. Herein Turin the Po is at present the river of a capital city : it seems as if it would show its noble expanse to shame those who wish to reduce Turin to the rank of Perugia or Spoleto. You are aware, no doubt, that some of the deputies are inclined to translate the capital of Italy to one of those two cities, since Rome cannot be bad for the purpose : I say nothing at present of those who suggest Florence or Naples. Have Italians learned nothing from the misfortunes that have befallen them during so many ages, in consequence of their dis sensions The Council of State is about to examine all the contracts which have been entered into by the go vernment, to ascertain if any irregularities have occurred.

After protracted discussions, however, the company yielded, and all opposition on the part of the minister ceased ; the works, therefore, will be proceeded with as soon as possible. Mr. Layard and Sir James Hudson have had various conferences with Signor Rattazzi, the Pre sident of the Council, and General Duraudo, with reference to the affairs of Greene ; and Signor Nigra has communicated to the Ministry considerable information regarding the view which the French government takes of the revolution in Greece. It would seem that the Ministry has reason to believe that the Emperor's ideas are not altogether in accordance with those of M. Drouyn de Lhuys. In the mean time, the French government has sent an explana tory note which, though it throws but little light on the Roman question, will be au indirect reply to that which was drawn up by General Duraudo after the affair at Aspromonte. It appears that this French note is to be laid before parliament with other diplomatic papers of importance. It appears that Drouyn de Lhuys had prepared • much leas conciliatory note, previously to the arrival of serious news from Greece. Much dissatisfaction has been caused by the departure for Greece of a number of Italians of the extreme party ; they will become elements of discord, rather than of assistance ; men of action are not needed there. I learn from ;quarter on which 1 can depend, that Count Idamiani is aware of the coming of these par tisans, and is by no means pleased with it ; he has asoertaired that the opinion of certain members of the provisional government agrees in this respect with his own. To-morrow morning the King and the Prince of Carignano, with their suite, set out for Milan, to review about eighteen thousand men. Very agreeable news continue to arrive about Garibaldi. It was from his own relatives that I re ceived the alarming report I sent you recently : my informants are now more hopeful. Possibly they saw things with the eyes of Dr. Bertani, who declared that, without amputation, Garibaldi could not live to the end of October. Medical men of still greater emineuoe, including Mr. Partridge, now pledge themselves to his recovery, provided he is broug ht to a drier locality, and one better suited to his condition. It is singular that, were politics ~°4l, of the question, Rome would be selected as the very place boat suited to the purpose. But un questionably the Holy Father would never aid his cure, however willing he might be to assist in his punishment. It is certain that the air of Rome is highly favourable to leg complaints, and the worst possible for those of the head ; while that of Naples is just the reverse. It is suggested that, since he cannot be brought to Rome, he should be removed to Pisa. I trust this suggestion may be a good one. The King constantly asks about him very anxiously, and declares that if he is brought to Pisa he will visit him after he has reviewed the garrison at Bologna. CANADA. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. LIVERPOOL, THOZSDAT. The Montreal Ocean Mail Steamship Company's screw steamer Hibernia, Captain Grange, which sailed from Quebec on the 25th ult., arrived in this port last night. The American papers by this arrival are not so late as those received per City of New York ; we extract from the Canadian journals the following items At a meeting of the Toronto General Committee of the Lancashire Relief Fund it was suggested that communications should be opened with the other committees appointed in Montreal, Quebec, and other places, with the object of making the collections bear the character of a provincial con tribution, and that if it could be arranged, to for ward the half of the amount, as soon as practicable, to the general committee in England—the remain ing portion to be placed in the bank, for the purpose of assisting those who would desire to emigrate in the spring to Canada. The suggestion was favourably received by the committee, with the exception of one or two mem bers, who expressed the fear that the people of England would look upon such a proposition as selfish in its character, that it would appear like keeping in view the future welfare of the Province, while the more pressing necessities of the poor suf ferers might be partially ignored. The iaayor, however, heartily supported the idea, and believed that the provincial government would cordially co operate with them in carrying it out, and, if de sirable, vote free gran.a of land to persons thus brought into Canada by the Provincial Relief Com mittee. The awount of subscriptions collected at Quebec is 11,194 dole. The Quebec Mem-um intimates that in a few days the Receiver General will invite tenders for the provincial notes, which are about to be issued to meet the financial deficiency. The notes will be payable one year after date, and will carry 5 per cent. interest _ _ The Montreal City Council has adopted an address to the Prince of Wales congratulating him on attaining his majority. The Quebec Gazette says Mr. Dorian hu resigned Ida seat in the provincial cabinet, end his resignation, which wan accepted, proceeded. "wholly from his views upon the Intercolonial Railway question." We recently mentioned the resignation of Mr. Smith, a member of the New Brunswick government few the same reason. The intelligence of these ruptures will &worn palsy Messrs. Siootte and Howland to England, on Satur day, and we opine will not prove very helpful to them in orrying out the object of their mission. Similar motives, we believe, have actuated both gentlemen in the course which they have taken, namely, the inability of their respective provinces to embark in an undertaking which involve% en expenditure far beyond their pecuniary re sources." Letters received from Newfoundland state that the fishing returns for the year are said to be very unsatisfactory.

Among the amounts received by the Lord Mayor in the course of Wednesday sad Thunday, in aid of the fund for the relief of the distressed Lanombire operatives, were tbe following :—From the Royal Chamber of Commerce, ' Calcutta, 1,0001. ; Yeans. Dupree and Co., 2106 ; Yr. P. W. Flower, 1001. ; Mesas. 'Laney Campbell, and Co., of London and Liverpool, fourth month ly instalment of 2,0001., 2001. ; A uselmode Arroysve, 1001.; Mr. C. Maynard, 1001; her Majesty's civil servants belonging to the Treasury, 1251. 12s. A large number of smaller donations have been received, and the total amount which came to hand during the two days was about 5,3001. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge having learnt that very many members of the university are desirous that steps should be taken for collecting subscriptions in the untversity towards the relief of the distress in the cotton districts, has formally re quested the members of the mate to meet hiss fa the eclooh on Monday. the 10th November, at two o'clock, with the view of organising a plan for carrying the above object into effect. A publio meeting wan held in the Town-hall at 1 Oxford, yeetenlay, for the purpose of miming a subscription to alleviate the present distress in the manufacturing din- Uinta The meeting was presided over by the Mayor (Mr. Aldermen Ward) and wee attended by several ineenbers of the university, parochial clergy principal tradesmen, and a few ladies.

The Mayor of Blackburn attended, and addressed the meeting at considerable length, after which upwards of 5001. was raised in the room. The clergy and ministers of various denomina tions belonging to Liverpool and its neighbourhood met yes terday at the Town-hall, at the request of the Mayor (Mr. It. Hutchison), to consider how far they could co-operate with the relief movement by congregational collections and other modes of organisation. There was a good deal of dis cussion, and some important suggestions were made. The Rev. Dv. M'Neile mentioned that his congregation bad adopted a somewhat original form of aid, but one which they thought calculated to be highly effective, arid to enlist • warmer personal interest than ordinary con tributions to the general fund. They had selected. after careful inquiry, 23 families in Manchester and 25 In Blackburn, and had determined to subscribe a sufficient sum for the maintenance of such families for five months, the amount averaging 2s. 6d. per head per week. He recommended this plan for adoption by hi brother clergymen, but at the same time thought it need not interfere with periodical congregational collections to wards the general fund. as by such collections casual con tributions, small in themselves but large in the aggregate, might be secured. A very strong opinion was expressed by many of the clergymen present in favour of co-operating with the laity, and taking advantage of the ward organi sations for the purpose of obtaining regular weekly Conti.. both:ars from householders and residents generally. Ulti mately it was resolved, on the motion of the Rev. Mr. Stewart (Church of England), seconded by the Rev. J. H. Thom (Unitarian), "That the clergy and ministers of all denominations be requested to appeal to their congre. !cations on behalf of the fund, and take such other measures rn connexion with their places of warship as they may deem most expedient to answer the purpose;" and oaths motion of the Rev. Rector Campbell, seconded by the Rev. J. Kelly (Independent), "That in the opinion of the clergy and ministers present it would be expedient to co-operate with the laity for the purpose of making • house-to-house col lection throughout the town." The Mayor mentioned that the funds which bad been hitherto raised in Liverpool had not been sentoff at once, but were despatched is monthly remittances, and that the amount had so much increased that the Liverpool committee now sent 6,000 f. per mouth, which would be continued daring the next three months. The Bridgwater-house committee, he believed, were giving at the rate of B,ooot. per month, and would continue to do to during the next four or five months. The Mayor also stated that a depot had been established in Liverpool for the reception of clothing, blankets, A public meeting was held in Manchester on Wedoeaday evening for the purpose of memorialising the government to appoint • commission of inquiry regarding the beat means to ensure • full supply of cotton from India. A resolution was adopted calling upon the government to °obstruct roads, canals, railways , bridges, and make the riven navigable, and to open out In dia forthwith, to enable merchants to obtain cotton in sufficient quantities to com pete with America. At Birmingham the amount raised up to this time is 6,655/. The Working Men's Committee have re ported 8021. The Bishop of Oxford has published the follow ing letter to the archdeacons of the diocese, recommending • diocesan collection for the distressed operatives in Lan cashire: "Cuddesden, Nov. 5. " My dear Mr. Archdeacon.—May I request you to let the clergy of your archdeacoory know that 1 recommend them to bring the needs of our distressed brethren in the manufac- turing districts before their parishioners, and to make collec tions for them in their churches? In order to make the appeal as sitnultamionsas possible, I would suggest to those to whom it would not be inconvenient to make their collections on Christmas Day—a day on which our thankfulness for our blessed Lord's nativity, and our own home and family blessiogs, may well move us to liberality towards our brethren suffering, through no fault of their own, from hunger, cold, and nakedness. To any to whom Christmas Day might be an inconvenient time, I would suggest, instead of it, one of the Sundays in Advent. " The sums collected may be remitted to the Manchester Relief Committee, either through a London banker or through the rural dean ; but in either cue the amount of the collection should be stated to the rural dean, that the total amount collected through the diocese may be sneer tained. ' " I sin, my dear Mr. Archdeacon, your faithful friend and brother, " S. OXON." LORD MAYOR'S DAY.—As the 9th of November will fall this year on Sunday, the banquet and procestioa will take place on Monday, the 10th. It is understood that the procession will be pretty much the same u last year, with perhaps a little addition of the military element in compliment to the position of l Mr. Alderman Rose, the Lord Mayor Elect, in the City of London Rills Corps. iThe procession will start as usual from the Guildhall at eleven o'clock, arid will proceed through Gresham-street to St. kLutiu'e-le-Grand, past the Post-office, and along Cheap side, King Willizun•strest, and timing round wilt proceed through Cannon-street. It will then pass down Queen street to Thames-street, and will pass through Queenhithe Ward, of which the Lord Mayor Elect is the alderume, 1 to Bridge-street, and so by Fleet-street to Westminster as usual. The procession will, of course, on its retain to Guildhall, pass through Ludgate-hill and Cbeapside, but it will be seen that by the route taken in the morning there will be very little obetruation given to the ordinary traffic. THE HuNTERIAN Mrszum.—The council of the Royal College of Surgeons has jcat purchased some skeleton of rare and interesting animals, beautifully pre. by Professor Eyre, of Vienna, a distinguished rt r i e ng arian, and by him for warded to the Internationel Exhibition, where they were justly admired. They con sist of Chlamydophorns truncate, found at Nudism, in Chili, and first described by Dr. Harlan from a specimen now in the Philadelphia Museum. It is supposed that there are but three skeletons of this curious little animal in Europe, which is very much like the Glj, ptodon clavipes so familiar to the visitors to the College Museum, only that the one in question is so small that it could readily run about in the mouth of the Glyptodon. The late Mr. Terrell described and figured the animal in the Zoolo gical Journal; this, with a second specimen obtained by ' Sir Woodbine Parish, is in the British Museum. The specimen, now the property of ae college, has bees the subject of se elaborate memoir by HyrtL Another case contains akele.ons of rare fish, including examples of the three poem , of existing ganoid fish, Lapidusteua, Polypterus, and Amis. Also a case of Batrachiaos (frogs and toads), two cases of tailed amphibis and snakes. These specimens have cost' i the College of Surgeons nearly 2001. This department of : the museum has also been reosutly enriched by some fine 1 skeletons of large British fish, admiralty prepared by Mr. James Flower, the college articulator, one especially which will well repay a visit, being a line specimen of the sword fish, upwards of ten feet in length, taken iu October last off the Suffolk coast in the herring nets. and purchased by the college. The museum which has been opened on extra days and hours during the International Exhibition, has been crowded with visitors, including a great number of dis tinguished foreigners.

Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John-street, Aldelphi ; Mr. T. 011•111• N, F.H.8.. vice-president, in the chair. The following newer& were given to the crews of the lifeboats mentioned for valu able services :-61. 10s., to the crew of the institution's boat at Lytham ; 121., to the crew of the Thorpe boat. Rewards amounting to 901. were likewise voted to pay the expanses e the Yarmouth, Fleetwood, Lytham, Southport, Weimer, Newhaven, Freaerborgh, Oampbeltown, and Arklow life boats of the society for putting off during the late fearful pie with the view of saving life. The silver medal of the institution, a copy ci its vote on parchment, and 21. each were voted to Mr. W. Goldring, James Spews, and David Fanner, beieg the crew of the smack Ferret, in admira -1 two of their conduct on the 17th ult., in putting off in the boat of the smack and rescuing, at the greatest risk of life, the crew ci three men of the sloop Cygnet, of Portsmouth, which bad sunk off the Hampshire coast. A reward of 2/. was likewise panted to a boat's crew for laving, at much risk of life, the crew of six men belonging to a fishing smack, which, during a frightful squall, had been capsized off Clogerheed on the Irish coast, on the 12th inst. The silver medal of the society and 2/. was also voted to Janice M.Millan, who is upwards of 7U years of age, for has general services in saving life, and particularly fur his intrepid conduct in rushiog' into the surf to the rescue of W. Fordyce, of the ship Genova, of London, which, during a heavy gale of ivied, bad been wrecked on the Mull of Kantyre on the 13th tilt. It was stated that wherever the lifebo..te of the institution had put off during the late storm, when handled by able and determined men, their behaviour in the heavy seas had in most instances ex clod the admiration of their crews. At Bode ILaven, however, the lifeboat bad been ill.manned on the omission of the fearful wreck of the Entecolen, and the result was that she was unable to save any lives on that disastrous occasion. It was also reported that the lifeboat mounted on her transporting carriage, which was recactly ex hibited in the Gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society, contiguous to the Internadonal Exhibition, had been sent to Tynemouth, Northumberland. A lifeboat had also just bees sent by the institution to Drogheda, on the Irish coast. Mr. Roberts, M.P., bad again p-sainted to the institution 1501. to assist ft to found a lifeboat station at Porthleven, Cornwall. He had pre viously, in conjunction with his mother, the late Mrs. Apr, founded a lifeboat station, in connexion with the society, at the Lizard. The institution decided on seeding forthwith • new lifeboat to Fleetwood, on the Lancashire coast. The new obverse of the medal of the institution, representing • ppowrtrait of her Majesty the Queen. executed by Mr. L. wee exhibited at the meeting. It is in lieu of one of George IV., the first patron of the Lifeboat Society, and is a beautiful specimen of art. The demands on the instita boo at the present period of the year continue to be un usually heavy, arid the committee ware in consequence com pelled yesterday to order the sale of 1,0001. stock from it. small funded capital. Payments amounting to 6001. were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. The proceedings then terminated. Ma. BArns, M.P. ow Amzwics.—On Wednes day evening , Mr. W. E. Baxter LP., delivered a lecture on America, in the Corn Exch ange Hall, Dundee ; Provost Parker in the chair. Mr. Baxter, in the course of his leo ture, pointed out the very rapid progress made by the Free States of Amera, while the Slave States had been stand ing still or retro g a d ing. Except among the wealthy planters, there were few of the comforts of civilised life enjoyed by the whites in the Slave States, and the " poor whites," as they were called, were wretchedly off. The cause of this he held to be slavery, which had a most demoralising effect on all within its circle. He argued that there was no reason why free labour should not be employed in the cultivation of cotton, and that it wouldbe more economical than slave. In regard to the American war, he adverted to the various Pretext* and after-thoughts invented for throwing dud into the eyes of Europe, and especially Great Britain, as to the cause of the war. This, however, be held to be slavery, and he concluded by saying—" What I want to bring out now is, that there can be no safety, much less good government and progress, in any wintry based upon such a programme as that adopted by the Southern Con. federacy ; nor do I believe any peace or settlement worth mix months purchase as long as the fountain head and origin of the evil is not removed. Lay arrangemeet short of eventual emancipation may delude the cotton brokers of Liverpool and the conservative country gentlemen ; but inasmuch so it leivee the source of hostility more active and amp cagy. than ever, it will prove but a hollow and perhaps an impolitic truce." PROTECTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY AT THE Kant-Enti.—Yesterday afternoon orders were received by the several superintendents of the G, H, K., and N divisioae from the chief officer of the Metropolitan Police Commis sioners, Great Sootland-yard, for an additional supply of mounted police and other constables for night duty, in cos sequence of the increase of garotte and other daring rob bens after nightfall.

Moo., chairman of the board, preaidiog. The views of the depCation were fully stated and discussed, embracing almost every leading question connected with the financial position, general policy, and administrative management of the undertaking. After a long discussion upon all these quest:one the meeting expressed its opinion by a majority in favour uf the present policy of the directors, and against the proposed adoption of a sectional system of management and teething. NEW BRUNSWICK AND CANADA RAILWAY AND LAND COMPANT.—Yesterday es extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the office of the company, No. 5, Whitehall for the purpose of altering and amending a res olution pa ssed at the last general meeting, as follows :—" That the Imola* be, and they are hereby authorised and empowered to make such further fine dal arrangements, by temporary loans, for meeting the liabilities of the company, mid for providing the necessary plant for the service of the railway, upon such terms, and VI they may deem expedient," by omitting tho words " by tem porary lama." Mr. Edwards., the chairman, said that it WS not their intention to persevere with the motion indi cted in the notice, but instead of it Mr. Field would move a resolution. As a matter of form, however, be would move the resolution, upon which Mr. Field would move hie as an ammdebent.
