SdruaDaz SEPT. 3. rim Independence of Central Italy is not yet " oat of the wood." We are not cancel aed about a hare-lwaissed Massinian fanatic or two, caught here and there doing Austrian duty work in the name of " Gon and the People," or about the creeping and gnawing mischief of the clerical vermin who sneak out of their confessionals at night to ply their dark and deadly trade of treason and subornation ; but we refer to the reported movements of the mongrel myrmidons of Cardinal AtiTOvELLI, who his for weeks past been congenially busied ;ri collecting the scam of disbanded mercenaries, and the dregs of cosmopolitan rascaldom, the *coatings of the gaols and the sweepings of the hulks, with the express =jest of drowning the infant liberties of the Legations in • torrent of tire and blood. We hear of the General listilEntltTTEN vulture's name') sessatifing at Anwa• • motley horde of discharged Swim hirelings from Naples, of Austrians disguised in Papal uniform and other miscellaneous sad nondescript elements of medieval savagery, wherewithal to repeat on a larger scale those magnificent performances' of Perugia from which civilised Kurope has not yet recovered. The nineteenth century Sr. PETER may not don the shirt of mail and scale the city breach like a t it's 11., nor may he press the hand of let enemy with • Boaots ring and a BORGIA smile; but he combines the fighting fierceness of the soldier and the catlike stealth of the poisoner I'ope in nicely ad justed negative proportions of ferocity against the weak and fawning to the strong. He is just too modern to put his sword up in the sheath, or to trust to legions of angels for support ; but in the recesses of his palace he weeps and prays piteously for the return of his misguided childrea to fatherly embrace, whilst his body-guard are away on a glorious mission of murder and rapine, desolat ing der/smelt's homes, massacring women and children, earning the wages of infamy In a =evict from which banditti would shrink in very shame, winning pensions, medals, and decorations at the hands of that Holy Father whose horror of blood shed constrained him to take no part as an Italian Prince in a national war. Such is the peculiarity of this mild and tender-hearted Priest's pontifical career ! Every step of this good, easy man's bene volent religion is paved with professions of loving kindness, and slippery with the blood he hes caused or suffered to be wantonly shed in his name. He is a living type of the cruelty of =Antis and the ‘iolencs of vanity in • narrow mature and a tickle heart. We know not if the stones of Perugia be dry, or if the echoes of shrieking women have died away, when we hear of fetes given by the General who planned the massacre and by the otfiiers who executed it, in celebration of their ex ploits. We hear that Cardinal ANTONELLI is never weary of declaring his exalted admiration of an example so precious to the Catholic world and to the Holy See. In these dap, when among the privileged three millions who support the temporal fabric of the Papacy men are actually daring to assert their right to a tolerable administration of secular affairs, and in default of Legates' law are even taking the law into their own hands, the sack of Perugia almost deeerves to take its place on the wall of the Basilicas immediately after the Stations of the Cram. People who babble about the Vicar of Christ and the primitive Church, have not yet' learned the alphabet of the grand ecclesiastical theory of Development. The ifunitore of Bologna cont►ined a quasi-official announcement some days ago that no sggresaion was contemplated by the Papal Government on the Lega tions. If any each assurance had been received from persons within earshot of the Court of Rome, we should more earnestly than ever urge upon our Bo:ogna friend, the instant necessity of measures to resist attack. The manoeuvres of the Papal com mander at Ancona combined no doubt with the Austrian prot&es of Tuscany and Modena, point to a desperate and decisive straggle, in which law, order, and patriotism will be ranked on the one side, against a sanguinary lust of ven geance and all the fury of deposed and defeated tyranny on the other. We will not doubt the issue, for I. not GAILIbALDI in the front of the national army? The position of the Liberator of Italy it must be confessed, in regard to this Roman question, is extremely del icateand difficult, and beset with anoaa• hes which are not the lees scandalous because they wen inevitable. The Roman expedition projected= false pretences, the prolonged occupation, unattended with • single concession to the just and moderate demands of the protesting Sovereign on behalf of the pepelatton which has the disastrous honour agreeing re the scapegoat of Catholicity : all this double deal ing, this profound e.quetry, this elaborate mystitka. two, which has tickled Awroptul for the last ten years, results at last in Colossi Srustor's diver ses at Perugia, and the concentration of General ‘TIEN * 4 rooms at Ancona. The Emperor of the Fn rsr It in his double capacity of protector of the Pore and liberator of Italy, holds the Roman provinces in check, in order that the butchers who wear the Carlow. of his HOLINESS may be fres to carry bares ►eyond the Apennines, and to bring tsck the stray sheep to Peter's fold in their benignant and apoatolical arms. At Rouse. meanwhile, the young men who rushed to the standard of the army of indepenetenes at the sum mons of the EneLlon, and who have bees graciously permitted to wars home since the peace, ere treated by a paternal government as naughty selhosi boys caught out of bounds, and are Teem mended to keep in.dnors after dark, and to do penance far a misguided patriotism under the considerate supervision of the Pontifical police, The Dec us GRAMMY.NT from time to time hand, in his little bill which ANTONSLLI, with habitual good humour, is ever ready to renew, and equally deter mined never to pay. So much for the farce of the Roman question. But the tragedy is not far off: and we cannot forget that the picturesque Beppo and the fanny Gocosse, the ANTONELLI and the Kstithateirras of the Ores' Comique, who fell oo their knees at the " Hyma to the Virgin," seep mumbling an Are over a stiletto. Let no, however, make allowances fee the oat raged feelings of an Asiosem.i. Let us try to THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8,18 N. place ourselves for • moment in his point of view. • Is not this new eat( of things in the Legations in decent and intolerable? Civil and religious libertp equality of laymen and ecclesiastics before the lair; financial honesty, a national army, all the political vices of free States permitted and encouraged, and above all, mendicity superseded and brigandage re proved. Spies, informers, ibirri, abolished; justice no longer venal and corrupt ; little Jew boys un baptised by force or stealth, and suffered to grow up at home ; are theta scandals to be left unpunished and uncorrected in the heart of Catholicity in the nineteenth century ? Ars the highways in the States of the Church to be as safe for travellers as the roads along which heretical omnibuses trot to Hampstead or to Highgate ? Forbid it, Sofinifio! Ile it KALLERMATTEN'S glory to radon darkness to the cities and danger to the roads. The ransom of Protestant tourists is the riaticum of the Church. In the midst, therefore, of the peaceful and or derly enthusiasm prev►iling in Central Italy an order to march is sent to the troops who wear the Perngian Crow, and to their brethren in arms who are jealous of that decoration. The scrupulous and humane Duke of MODENA is reported to have got together twenty thousand thieves, and to be ready to swoop, ander the banners of the POPE, upon his palace and domains. We shall be told by a certain class of political philosopher. th►t at any rats the fate of the Legations is beyond the legitimate moral interference of a Protestant power. Considering the numbers of our travelling country men and countrywomen, for whom Italy is a second oountry six months of every year, we might I fairly argue that the good government of the Adriatic provinces, and the safety of the roads,' are not matters of indifference to England; but we take higher ground, and, with Mr. OLAIRITONE, we repel the cent of a Protestant Power having no inte rest in the welfare and happiness of Catholic Stater. I The Roman question, u Mr. GLAnorroNE eloquently instated, is not a sectarian question, bat a broad question of civilieetion and humanity, and in that regard it cannot be alien to the first and foremost of civilised nations. The Government of England was not unconcerned In the restoration of the temporal power of the' Papacy ; Ind sixteen years later it concurred with the Catholic Powers in addressing a fruition@ remon strance to the obdurate and incwsble government it had assisted to restore. Can we look on indif ferently whilst the vultures of the VICAR of CHRIST t - e tearing out the vitals of Italian liberty, because the Emperor of the Panic% i• all the pride of absolute authority, dare not defy a cawing and clanging clergy, between whose enmity it patronage is nothing more than the choice between the dagger or the bowl. Hen MAJESTY has bees advised to direct that the steno pared on THOILIS SMETHURST shall not be union mt. Oar readers will not expect es to congratulate them on this decision, in the ab sence of all information as to its grounds; and, for the same TOOODO, we shall not disputo its wiudons. We have sufficient confidence in the high minded and conscientious public servant who directs the Home Department to believe that he has not interrupted the ordinary course of the law with any other object than to secure the substan tial ends of justice. The imperfection of our judi cial system has cast upon Sir GEORGE LEWIS a duty which ought to be required of no man in a constitutional state. When it became apparent that there was a considerable portion of the public which, differing as to personal impres sions of SMETkitiLST'S guilt, agreed that the body of evidence adduced for the prosecution failed to supply that satisfactory proof of guilt without which an Eillishmrn's life ought not to be taken, the HOME SECRETARY had no alternative bat to con sider the whole case anew. The growing power of public opinion casts this duty upon the head of the Home Department ; but hitherto that opinion has not gone so far as to obtain for him the means of performing it. SMETLICRST was convicted in open court, with the aid of counsel, judge, and jury, proceeding on esta blished rave of evidence : the sentence is annulled by a functionary acting on his own responsibility. The process is not edifying. Is the result more satis factory ? The verdict, obtained at an immense cost of skill and effort on the part of all concerned— has been set aside, and what has been substituted for it ? Not a counter declaration, for the convict is not pardoned. No satisfaction is given to those persons who conscientiously believe SMETHURST to be innocent, and who have so zesloarly exerted them selves on his behalf. If the unhappy man is guilty, society is wronged; but if he is innocent, how deeply is he injured, when he is con signed to a life of ignominy and bard endurance, without • hope that his character may one day be vindicated. Nor is this all. For the encourage ment of all who may be disposed to presume upon her weaken', Justice is exhibited in a confused, he sitating, and imbecile attitude. It has come to this, that • man charged with the mat revolting crime can neither be held vilify nor inn(— ' cent ; and that society is glad to remember that, after all, his general moral character ii too bad to exeite sympathy as an excuse for inflict ing • punishment which it shrinks from openly and formally justifyieg. This proceeding cannot be repeated. No Englishman who has read the bistory of his country can endure that its Institutions should beat the mercy of any functionary of the Executive, however high his character and ablilty may be. Sir Ozowis Law ts's decision was all thit was wanted to make the Smethurst ease &perfect and irresistible argument for granting new trials is criminal owe; and this must be one of oar earliest legal reforms. A report has readied this easatry. and been ex-1 tmesivety circulated, that Mr. Aurelio Seth. having gone into the Romagna, his native country, had been sent away by order of the Provisional Government of Bologna. We an authorised to state that there is oat the slightest foundation for such a report, and that 3lr. Seth has not been to any part of thaw perdecei. Mr. Seth is in Switzerland, on a visit to his brother, who has been for many years a resident in that country.

TURIN, FIIDAT. The deputation from Tuscany is expected to arrive here at noon to-morrow, and preparations are being made to give the members of the same a splendid reception. The %int will receive the deputation at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The Nord of today says:—" The great question of the hour is, whether King Victor Emmanuel will accept the annexation of the States of Central Italy which has been voted by their assemblies. The ge neral opinion seems to be that the King will accept the offer under some reserves and conditions as to the ultimate opinion of Europe. By accepting the provisional sovereignty of the States thus spontaneously offered to him, the King will at once save them from civil war and from anarchy, will perform a signal service in the cause of order, at the same time that he preserves the rights of Europe by reserv iog for a European Congress the final settlement of the political cl , ificulty. What power will venture to protest against a measure of pacification and conservation, whereby the conflict of armies and the explosion of revolutions ere happily got rid of. The interest, of dy amities cermet prevail against the imperious and regent duty of maintaining order and security, and placing ander a regular government peoples whose unchecked passions will infallibly produce con vu'isions, the reaction of which would shake the whole of Europe. This conditional acceptance of the offer of the States of Central Italy appthrs therefore to us the most probable and, at the same time, the most salutary solution of the question." The Sardinian government has just issued au order for the augmentation of the army by three regiments of light cavalry and six brigades of infantry. The cavalry regiments are to be called the Milan, the Lodi, and the Montebello. The six infantry brigades will receive their designations from Brescia,Cremons, Pavia, Como, and Bergamo. The other brigade will be called the Lombard Grenadiers. THE LEGATIONS. BOLOGNA, Barr. I. To-day the Governor-General of the Romagna opened the National Assembly by a speech, of which the following is a summary : " The people of the Romagna, after having exhi. bited great prudence during the last three month., I hastened in crowds to the electoral districts to re cord their votes. Now, it is fur you, gentlemen, to give expression to the wishes of the people. The good result of my government ;n owing to the zeal of those who have elected me I have endeavoured to provide for the defence of the country against aggressions from all aides by forming a league with the seighbourieg States." He concluded thus :—" Constitute your govern ment, and entrust it to him who positron jour confidence." THE CONFERENCE. ZURICH, Barr. 2. Yesterday at the meeting of the plenipotentiaries, the regulation of certain points relating to the limits of the Lombardian frontiers and the separa tion of the civil and ecclesiastical jurisdictions wee taken into consideration. The Prussian minister accredited at Turin has arrived here, and paid a visit to the Sardinian plenipotentiaries. A meeting also took place yesterday of the second plenipoten tiaries of the three Powers. The following telegram has been received at Mr. Renter's office this day : ZURICH, Sate. 3. Yesterday there was a conference of the pleni potentiaries, luting two hours, at which M. de Bourqneney, M. de Banneville, Count Colloredo, and M. de .Meisenberg were present. the ministry of that colony. Its tone is highly lettering to the Prince, of whom it says, among other things, " The intelligence of his retreat was received with an absolute stupefaction." Such a document would hardly have been put forward unless with the sanction of government. This is not the first time his return to public affairs has been hinted at. If he ever really believed he had a chance of the Grand Ducal crown of Tuscany, that bright dream has now melted away—so it is quite possible this petition may herald an sweltering from his Imp Highness's politico-adminis trative sleep. Business experienced a revival at the Bourse to day. It transpires that the realisations of premium by large holders (which produced the recent falls) were not the result, as had been supposed, of the receipt of bad intelligence. Many persons believe we have seen the lowest prices, and that public con fidence will gradually revive, in spite of the as yet unsettled state of the Italian question. Some spe culators are going for a rime, in the belief that the separation of the conferences is a step preliminary to the meeting of a congress.

In the middle of the month of July Prince Bark tinski undertook a great expedition into Daghestan. An order of the day, dated the B.h of Augut, an nounces the result of that expedition in the submis sion of Andi, Avarie, Gumbat, Koissabo, and other districts on the left bank of the %Mom and the vicinity. An imperial rescript announces that the Emperor has conterred upon Prince Bariatioski the Order of St. George, second class. A company has been formed at St. Petersburg fur the construction of a commercial port there on a large scale. The Russian government has ordered the first three corps d'armee, under the orders of Prince Gortichakooff, to be placed on a peace footing. GERMANY. A Vienna letter of the 27th alt. says: _ . Thedebberstlons of the new cabinet continue day after day, beelines the wish to to bring to a speedy conclusion not only what concerns the reconstitution of the minutest.' depert meats, but also to is the haws of the new policy. The unto suppression of the Ministry of Commerce, and the aseholng of its different branches to other departments, occupies mum time. A from Frankfort says : Germany cannot have forgotten the efforts made loot spring to drag the &ate* of the GOMM/0 Confedentioa into • war with Fissile, but it is a singular fact that the State* most roger for war were thous which were least pee ping for it. Their treasuries were too nearly exhanMrd to supply the means fur extraordinary armaments, so the Legie- Wive Cheatham were called on to authorise loans which could only be Madsen on most disedvantageoes toms.

The Madrid journals of the 28th ult. join, without distinction of party, in expressing approbation of the expedition which the government is about to and against the Moors of the Riff. The semi-official Correspondancia Autografa says that the expedition is to consist of 10,000 men. It says also that the Spanish consul at Tangiers had sent a note to the government of Morocco, demanding that the Moors who had been guilty of acts of hostility to the Spaniards should be given up, and threatening to employ force if they were not. The consul, it adds, had retired from Tangiers to await an answer. SARDINIA.

" " " A letter in a Genoese journal gives the cheering announoement that the Neapolitan government is preparing a constitution based upon an elective sys tem and a national assembly. Triennial parliaments, to sit every year, but only for fifteen days ; respon sible ministers; and the power of dissolution of the parliament by the King, with the consent of his ministers, are among the features particularised. I believe it has been ascertained beyond all doubt that the higher clergy in Tuscany are disposed to carry out the won poastonus principle. Rome will, to the very last, act by the all-pervading fibres of her organisation against the substitution of light for darkness, persuasion for tenor, and truth for false hood. The provisional governments are doubtless well informed as to all that passes, and will be pre pared equally against secret foes and open enemies. The copy of a petition now in course of signature in Algeria appears in the Petrie; its object is to I obtain the re-appointment of Prince Napoleon to EMIGRATION TO THE CAPE OF GOOD ROPE. The Cape Town Immigration Board, at their last meeting, a few days before the deportees of the resolved to forward tbe following communication to the Emi gration Commissioner In England: Immigration.olfloe, Caps Town, July 20, 18.59. The Honourable W. Field, Fag., Emigrauott Commissioner, London. Sir,—l have the honour to ackaowledr the receipt of three letters from you of the 6th ultimo, soquejnting me, tor the inf. rmation of the Immigration Board, of the &lecture antis Burlington with emigrints on the 30th Ray, end of your having chartered the Lord Raglan to convey emi grants to Table Bay, which were to embark on t h e, l6th instant. The board instructs me to inform you that the im migrants ter Bride have all t.ken employment, and with the exception of • few, have quitted the depot— those remaining being the parents of children sufferiug from measles. Several remained also for mune days. owing to the unfavourable state of the weather, and the difficulty ex isting at the present time to procuring conveyance for their removal to the interior. The wages obtained by most of them me quite equal to former raters, se will be men by s list ac companying this. The board deeires me to call your atten tion to the drearnstance of one of the immigrants per Bride, named Simon Luau, havine died of consumption the day after his snivel, and would recommend a more strict in quiry into the health of emigrants generally, and that none be sent out but such as are and have been for some time in perfect health, end in the habit of working for wages. Luray, according to the statement of the surgeon-superin tendent, Dr. Pears., came on board in a very delimit. and precarious state of health, showing evident symptoms of consumption ; and it has come to the knowledge of the board that revere! seat out on former occasions, particularly of the Brotch per Gipsy Bride, were invalids in search of health, some of whom have died, and a few recovered. Lucas leaves a wive and etc children, with the prospect of a seventh, allot whom continue at the depot at the expense of government. With regard to farm labourers, the board oon eiders it meet undesirable that such immigrants should be encumbered with large families, and particularly with any number of young children, each operatinglas a hindrance to their obtaining ready employment; end when they do mew with employment, the wages they receive are sometimes so inadequate to meet their expenses that they nitural feel dissetirtied, and become disheartened. The board deems it necessary to remark upon the practice adopted in come come by the agents employed under our direction ' as has been stated by the imm te them tetra., of describing a man Incorrectly in to his trade or calling, in proof which I herewith enclose a list of names of men who declared they were refused to be received under the heed of their proper felling, but were allowed to enter themselves under some other head, to order to render them wires eligible. This tabs statement has given dee to con siderable unpleasant - nem and disappointment in one or two . . cases ; it mis;leada the public, and ceitees the immigrant who refuses employment to puffer. In consequence of several of the last immigrants cousidering themeelme privileged to re main at the depot for the fell period of ten days, notwith standing that offers were made them of employment previous to the snivel of that date, under an erroaeous impreeton that suchermallowed, whether they were able to obtain situdions or not, the board bee considered it neoeseary to alter that portion of the rules of the depot bearing on the 'object, and to sub stitute five days as the period allowed, and no longer time, except aids the special permission r f the board. There hen been, generally, mach more difficulty in getting the lest than sny previotut ommigranta to take employment, and but a few °sly, comparatively, have shown any desire to proceed in land. The surgeon-superintendent of the Bride having noted In his journal that there were strong reasons for be- Having that the third mate dieing the mpg') bad given spirits to some of the imrsigrante ' and it appearing from the statement evade by him that ouchs's' the ogee, the gratuity to which he would have been otherwise entitled was withheld from him. This the board ondiders it necessary to comma. nicere, in order that, by making known what has been done in this Mauna, it may prove a warning to other officers on board ernigtaet yam& (swim here .—I have, he., "W. gammon, Secretary."

Leigh Hunt is now nearly eighty years of age; and yet his complexion has the faiths.. and oottness of youth. lib hair is a. white as rho bloom of the almond -tree, sad as fall and glom, as the head of a child. His brow is broad sr beautiful, and his eye sa gentle and se clear • that of • woman who has never seen a cloudy day. His beat is as merry as a bird's, and his look sad manner alternately playful and pensive, but without ▪ shadow of sadness.
