LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 14. GENERAL GARIBALDI AND AMERICAN TRAVELLERS. As a rule, travellers inform us of their social PROMAilee, and keep their disappointments in the background. No man—traveller or otherwise— likes to confess to a rebuff. However he may tell tLe story, there is still a danger that his failure was due to his demerits. Mr. BA YARD TAYLOR, who describes in the cur rent number of the Atlantir Monthly a provoking misadventure in his own recent ex perience. runs no risk on this score. He is too old a traveller, and possesses too iiitieh knowledge of the world, to have committed any nii,take likely to be met by a repulse on any personal grounds. It sip/ ears that ,beingde.irous to make the acquaintance f Gem ra'. GARIBALDI. Mr. Tayt.oit resolved to visit Lim at Caprera, fortifying himself with letters of in troduction of a specially felicitous kind. Upon being landed on the Island of Maddelena. site Caprera, he lost no time in forwarding his letters by a boatman. and waited in anticipation of an interview which would repay him for the peculiar disagreeables of the voyage. Asbve read the narrative, the boatman returned in due time, but without bringing any reply. Fearing a mishap to his letters, the author of '• Views a-foot " sent another letter by the same mes senger, assuring the General of the friendly motives of his intended visit. A reply then came, but, alas' it was almost worse than silence. General GARIBALDI curtly de clined to see Mr. TaYr.on and hie wife on the ground of indisposition. The feelings of an American traveller, under such circumstances, must have been poignant indeed. Within sight— within rifle-shot--of the object of their pilgrimage, after travelling hundreds, of miles, and yet unable to get at it ! A large drop of bitterness in the cup was the fact that three days must elapse before they could get away. Worse still, while waiting at a miserable inn in a most uninteresting spot for the return of the steamer, they learned that General GARIBALDI, instead of being confined to his bed, as they supposed at first, was well enough to take open air exercise, thus apparently placing his refusal to see them in the light of an intentional slight. Mr. TsvLoß professes to be at a loss to account for the General's conduct, but a Boston contemporary attributes it to the treat ment which GARIBALDI has lately received from Americans in Europe, and which has determined him to keep Caprera locked against them, each and all. There was, in the first place, the ridicu lous conduct of the State department at Washing ton in making him appear as a paid agent of the American Government during the' civil war. The American Consul at Rome, who was conspicuous by his aid to the Papal power when GARIBALDI was before the walls of the city, is still at his post. " Moreover," says the Boston Adeettiser, " the General is no doubt " aware that the officers of the principal American " squadron in Europe, after hobnobbing with the " Liberal,' in Florence, Genoa, and Naples, went " from the latter city all the way to Rome to " render homage to his mortal enemy, the POPE. " And last, though not least, he cannot be ignorant " of the disgusting eagerness with which not a " few of the same Americans that cheered, hugged " and kissed him last fall at Florence subsequently " sought an opportunity at the public audiences " in the Vatican for bowing their knees to the " ' monster of iniquity,' as he calla the successor of " St. Prraat." It is more pleasant, perhaps, as well as more just, to see political motives in the THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1868. Generate coldness, than to aaoribe a it to any experience which may have had former rialto of citizens of the 14taites. " THE PONT'S CORNER." EV10(1110111( who has heard the Roy. J. C. M. lixr i.r.w reed poetry will allow his rare skill as an elocutionist; his merits as an editor and critic aro na so obvious. Mr. BaLLaw has published a manual for students in English poetry, under the attractive title of the " Poet's Corner." It is a bulky volume, containing upwards of 900 pages, and has, no doubt, been a work of great labour, for the editor informs us that in its compilation he bail read through the whole" Corpus Pootarum." We cannot think the result is commensurate with the toil. Mr. Bawls,' follows in the wake of compilers who have done the work as well, if not butter. It is difficult to estimate highly the oriti cal sagacity of a writer who avers that Porn pos se *Ad all the necessary qualifiestions for a poet, and that BYRON was " unquestionably the greatest " poetical genius of the present century." More esl r, it scarcely adds to our stook of knowledge to be told that COWPRIL'a poems " may be safely put " into the hands of youth," or that the works of WuRDe•WORTH are "a great acquisition to the " literature of his country," or that Beaus " was osisentially one of Nature's poets." Platitudes such as these seem to show that the compiler is gravelled for lack of matter, and assuredly they are of no value to the student for whom the volume is principally intended. In all Selections" there is room for great diversity of opinion, and Mr. lini.Lew says truly, that " he who undertakes to select what ;other people " shall read vaults on to the judgment seat. and must expect his judgment to be judged." In the - Poet's Corner " the editor seems often to eharenge criticism by what looks at least like an amusing eceentricity of taste. Mturcia is a master of the sonnet, and has written three or four of surpassing power and beauty, but he wrote also one sonnet on HUDSON, the University carrier, which is a lumbering attempt ax humour, and wholly unworthy of his genius.ltThis grotesque trifle will be found in Mr. BKLLRW'S Manual, while the grandest sonnet even MILTON ever wrote is omitted. This is a strong but by no means a rare instance of Mr. BELLxw's method of selection. Indeed it would seem as if his Anthology were specially compiled for the purpose of reversing the general decision of the public. Of course the editor may reply that the public, like the critics, are very often mis taken, and that his judgment may be as good as theirs. Whether this be true or not, it must be allowed that he has exercised it with entire independence. If the " Poet's Corner" has the good fortune to reach a second edition there will be several misprints and a few blunders to be corrected. What does Mr. Biu.i.xw mean by saying that " SOUTHEY was buried in the church - yard of Grasmere, whore the remains of Wouus .. WORTH now repose in an adjoining grave ?" Serum( was buried in Croaithwaite churchyard, at no great distance from the home in which he spent the happiest and the saddest portion of hie life. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAT.) Tall MAMMA MAZZO. Tho Times credits the report that the question of the Alabease &eines Is at length in the way of speedy end 'AUL fectory settlement, and proceeds to argue that there never was in the ca. e itself any wee diflisulty would hare precluded a settlement if the Americans bad wished it. The reel question between the two countries was not a question of damages or compensation, but of off' new given and resentment expressed. That resent ment, Ito 7) Ines admits, was natural, but its expression has been eufficiently protracted. If Mr. Reverdy Johnson is empowered to bring the affair to an end, all bygones being put adrift, the thing is as good as done. If ell that the negotiators now desire is to measure fairly by a reasonable standard the liabilities incurred by Eng land in the matter of the Alabama, and to amass those liabilities honestly in pounds, shillings, and pones, the problem will be the easiest possible, and Americans and Englishmen may enter upon new relations of amity and brotherhood, all the more solid and enduring from this insight into cach other's dispositions.

The Librete has the following: What has become during the last six weeks of the two fold liberty of the preen and of public meeting which was given to ua, though in a much mutilated condition, three months ago, and which was kept dangling before our eyes sinoe January 19, 1867 P Where is the liberty of the prase, where is the liberty of public meriting? The events of Nimes and of Alain, the prosecution and condemnation of Id. de Larry, and of M. Lacy-Guinea, the blood of the unfortunate Sanity, priv►te meetings even made impossible, the domicile no longer inviolable, the (immobile hearth at the mercy of the polioe—these are the seem of the sight of meeting for the month of August. As to the prose, at no period—not even on the eve of 18311 or 1818 way there midi a martyrology. Twenty-five journals have been kruck in the past month—almost a journal per day. Some years of imprisonment, and fines amountaig to 1,3161., or more than 421. per day—such is the monthly balance of the first and most precious of all libertine, of that in the name of which we made three re volutions, tore eleven constitution% and expelled thirteen governments• _ _ ITALY. A letter from FlorenoeMthe Debata says: People are beginning to look seriously on Mairinian veheinse—the more so as what is done in the dark always produces more or lees fear. From time to time there appear proclamations placards—the statutes of • secret society—and people imagine that they are walking on ground mined by unknown enemies. But it is certain that the working men of Liguria, assembled at Genoa, Mr.', adopted the Dorece—a Massinian paper, as their organ ; and resolved to pay a monthly contribution, to be at the disposal of Mazzini, for the purpose of delivering Rome. The ministry will be forced to take some steps oa the Roman question. As long as there are breign troop, in Italy the government will be m • false position, and will find it difficult to resist a movement. This ought to be taken into account at Paris. Here all persons bo hell. in war, and it is in view of the complication., that may arise that all parties are organising themselves. The Persevf-ranza publishes an appeal to the nation from the Central Committee in the Southern Provinces of the 'Universal Republican Alliance, from which we take the following extract No nation has so much both the right and duty of taking the republican initiative in Europe and of showing that the blood of our ancestors still flows in our veins. Italy has the oldest republican traditions of any nation in Europe. Before the flag of 1788 floated in the world those of Florence, Pisa, Genoa, Venice, and Amalfi kindled the enthusiasm of the most distant nations. Our glories are all republican. Dante, Michael Angelo, Ferruccio, Galileo, Savaniarola, A Itieri, Giordano Bruno, Foecolo, Arnaldo de Brescia, were the soldiers of this grand idea. And when all the other states of Europe were sleeping the sleep of slaves, our com munes—isolated detachments of a great army—sus tained a Titanic contest against slavery, and marked by the Lombard League the republican future of the nation. Are we not the eldest born of the Latin race ? And beneath the sha dow of the republican flag what nation can show grander figures than those of Garibaldi and Mazzini When the hour shall have arrived, wo must only look to our flag and our guns. Lta this way only can we avenge in an outburst of heroism eu many years of slavery, liberty, fraternity, equality, labour. TURKEY. A NEW INVASION IN PREPARATION. •• Never perhaps," says a letter from Constanti nople in the Nurth Eastern Correspondence, " was the situation of the Ottoman Empire so grave. A fresh invasion far more serious than the last is in preparation. Along the left bank of the Danube front Galatz to Belgrade the formation of new bands is going on openly. Volunteers are arriving in num bers, and arms are being sent across the Russi:ui frontier and Roumania in abundance. Russian officers arts directing the movement. The whole of European Turkey is covered with a network of intrigues and conspiracies of which the Russian coipads are the promoters." (7710114111 2111:11111e £5 CT. ) THE BRAZIL MAIL.

The relations of the two agri cultural bodice is likely to produce favourable results to both countries. The area of land under cultivation in the Australasian colonies, according to the last returns, is 2,400,000 acres, and the live stock consists of 600,000 horses, 4,000,000 cattle, 38,600,000 sheep, and 400,000 Digs, giving a total of more 43,000,000 head of stock.

ROMAN BRIOANDIS.- The Giormi/e Rousa says : —"Beneath Verdi, a pontifical town, built like an eagle's nest on the summit of a sterile mountain, extends the estate, admirably cultivated, of a Roman noble. The proprietor, having been summoned by the brigands to send 4,000 scudi (20,000 fr.) to a certain spot, applied for the protection of the gendarmery. Au arrange ment woe made that a vice-brigadier, dressed as a peasant. should proceed to the plaoe indi cated, provided with a revolver and 400 scudi, and followed at a distance by a patrol of his men. On his arrival he found the chief and lieutenant of the baud. ' My master can only send you,' be said, • this sum at pre sent. Money is not easy to timid. In a few days you shall have the rest. In the meantime. fur my discharge, count what there is. ' While the two robbers were stooping down to comply with the request, the other drew out hi.. rea4a and shot them both dead. 'l'huir companions, who were posted in a neighbouring thicket, seeing them fall, rushed out to take nweuge, but the gendarmes also Ikea ti ued up, and after a short resistance put to flight the malefactor". who left three wounded and two dead on the ground.

(sir wmarrio cuaut, rersovour wirsa's SOIRICIL) NEW YORK. Sam 12, Mow. Aueerdint 9 ftdvimegpoeived here from Osatral America, qpieMited is the New talk paptisfi Arica, Arequipa, Islay, Iquique, Paseo. Juan- Cavelica, Ibarra, and numerous other towns of Peru and Ecuador, were totally destroyed by a succession of earthquakes, whioh limited from the 13th to the 16th of August. The loss of life in Peru is estimated at 2,000, and in Ecuador at 20,000. Most of the inhabitants of the Peruvian seaport town of Arica, and of Arequipa, chief town of the Peruvian littoral prelims) of Arequipa, escaped with their lives. The loss of property is estimated at 300 million dollars. Great damage was also done to shipping on the coast and the Chinas Islands. Mr. Billinghurst, the British consul at Iquique, and his family, have perished. The following telegram has been received by Messrs. Pope, Bee, and M'Lean, per Atlantic cable : " NEW YORK, fitpr. 13. " Intelligence has been received bore of a fearful calamity in Peru, South America. Arica, Arequipa, Chala, and other cities in the province of Arequipa, were destroyed by earthquake on the 13th of August. From thirty to sixty thousand persons are reported to have perished. Property estimated at three hundred million dollars had been destroyed, and many ships, with their crows, sore lost in the tidal waves. A serious conflagra tion occurred at Callao on the 14th of August." The correspondent of the Tiny+ telegraphy from Philadelphia : " Fearful carthquakts happened in Pent and Ecuador on the 13th of August, Twenty-five to 30,000 lives were lost, and property destroyed to the amount of 60,000,0001. The cities of Are quipa, Iquique, Moquehna, Pince, Arica, Tacunga, Marra, Tacna, and many others were destroyed. The huge tidal waves which followed wrecked many vessels, and among others the American steamers Frenonia and Waterer, the Peruvian ship America, and the British ship Chancellor. The Waterer was carried half a mile inland. There was great suffering among the survivors." The havoc, it is estimated, must at any rate have stretched over a distance of 1,200 mile*, from Ibarra, a town of Ecuador, 30 miles to the north-north west of Quito, the capital of that republic, and within lens than a degree of the equatorial line, down to Iquique, a seaport and island in the southern provinces of Peru, in the 20th degree of south latitude. It is in this latter locality that Mr. Billinghurst and his family are reported to have perished. That gentleman has been erro neously designated as " the British Consul." But the only representative of her Majesty's govern ment at Iquique is Mr. Peter Nugent, an unpaid Vice-consul. Mr. William Billinghurst discharged the ..ume functions for the Argentine Republic. The Timra remarks : Like Iquique, the towns of Tacna, Arica, and Islay are un the sea. But Marra, Pasco, Moquehna, and Arequipa are inland cities, and they stand high among the clutters of those peaks of the double Cordillera, not a few of which are numbered among the most active volcanoes of this earth. Arequipa, the capital of the maritime Peruvian province of the same name is commanded by the volcano of Misti, a mountain said to exceed the summit of Mont Blanc by 4,000 feet. Pasco, or Cerro de Pasco, the most elevated city of the globe, rise* above immense ravines to a height of from 13,000 to 14,000 feet—that is to a level with the tops of the Jungfra and the Matterhorn. Iharra, like her neighbour Quito, is en compassed all round by the snow•apped giants of both Sierras, and lies at the foot of the lmbaburu. a bunting mountain, by which, as Naples by Vesuvius. it is by turn., fertilised and laid waste. There is hardly one of those places that has not its long record of eruptions and earth quakes, hartUy one that has out its experience of ~lowers of fire, floods of lava, clouds of it.hes ; of to king moutita'ns and heaving plains, of lataslips railing about men's oars, and chasms yawning before men's feet. Arica, the Daily News observes. has often bees devastated by earthquakes; Arequipa, which is built on the slope of a volcano, has a similar history; Lima and Callao, which. as not 'wing mentioned now. have probably eNcaped. but which lie near the line of thy •• vulsion. were once destroyed together. wh,n 114,000 persons were buried in their ruin. It is inevitable that we should contemplate 411. Ii a eatostroihe through the medium of o.ir ow❑ familiar ideas, and Humboldt ha+ told us what it is for an European to feel his faith shaken uh that immobility of the earth which is part of our oxpeii enee and almost of our religion. But to the natives at Peru or Ecuador the phenomenon which seems so ing to us must appear legs temble. It doe. not apparently distress them to hold by a tenure unusually procariou , an existence of which they have hitherto not been able to make much. For all that, they are our follow-men. with feelings like our own, and we cannot think without awe and sympathy of • catastrophe which involve• icu- or thousands of them in a swift destruction.

All that the doctors have been able to do within the hist day or two has been to alleviate his sufferings a little ; but there is not the slightest chance of saving hint. After the administration, by the Archbishop of Moline' yesterday. of the viaticum. which was at the same time the poor child's first etnnutnion, the abdominal region was so frightfully swollen, that it was resolved to have recourse to puncturation. A large quantity of serous liquid was withdrawn by this operation. and the conse quence was that the patient, though weaker dim ever, felt less oppressed and breathed more heel). Before the puncturing the child's legs were a mass of deformity. and looked like pantaloons of blad der blown out to the fullest extent. The King is a° afflicted by the sight of his son. that he cannot bear to remain long in his room, but wanders, half distractesl, among the apartments and corridors of the chateau, return ing to the Pick chamber frequently. The Queen scarcely quite the bed-side except for necessary repose and refreshment, and if she leave's the chateau for an hour, it is only to make a pil grimage to our lady of Seheut. The Figaro is resolved to exhaust all the degrees jurisdiction to try the question whether reports of civil action,' for libel, and of criminal libel cases in which a public functionary is the prosecutor. may not be published. To-day it given a report of M. Laehaud's speech in the Pastourean case, though well knowing that it will incur a third prosecution. The Advocate-General Chevrier sultuitted that the legal points raised were of considerable diffi culty and importance, but gave his own opinion against the right of publiea►tion. M. Luhaud argued the questions, which defend on the con struction of eonflicting clauses in varieties statutes, at great length, and said, in eonclitaion, that in pleading M. de Villemeasant's muse he could not be suspected of party views, for although ho had hitherto stood aloof from politica it elm well known that all his sympathies were with the Imperial Oovernaest, whose prestige and greatness be desired to seesugmented.

The following very sug gestive advertisement appeared in the number published last Saturday : WANTED to place out an ACTIVE LITTLE BOY, aged FIVE MARE, for any period, to be brought up in any branch of the profernua. This probably points to a gymnastic tutorship, and a future in which " ground and lofty •• tumbling•' will be studied at the expense of other accomplishments.

There are small boroughs now limited to one member who at the present moment groan at the thought that local pillaging may be diminished by the absence of the competing rival ; but for a body of London citizens to take such a view of political We would be discouraging. We expect them rather to set the example of sparing their can didates as much as possible the humiliation of feeling that they are paying for their seats.

MR. BRIORT'S ISPEZOIHIS. Tho Daily News regards the publication. in two hand some volumes, under the editorship of Mr. Thor°ld Rogers, of Mr. Bright's chief "Speeches on Questions of Pubic Policy," as a political as well as a literary event. The moment selected is opportune, as marking the ter mination of one stage of their author's career. His best epoechos refute the saying of Charles James Fos, that • qsioch which reads well must necessarily be, for oratorical purpol.ea, a bad speech. They may not., as a whole, live in English literature ; for whose, save those of Byrke, which aro doe:mations and arguments for the closet, do so hie ? But they will always deserve to be studied, as an ripprentiociship to popular and parliamentary OT dory, they will form materials for the history of our tins, and many brilliant passages, perhaps some entire spa cher% will readily become a part of the living literature of F.nglsnd. Mr. Bright is not one of those men who are in advance of their age. His converts are not distant gene rations. But he has generally been in advanoe of the ad ministration of the day ; and his principles are those of the neat administration. The very men who were his antago nists are a few years later his disciples or co-adjutor•. In other words, Mr. Bright has probably in at least as high a degree the capacity of the administrative statesman as of the parliamentary orator and popular agitator. The "Speeches on Questions of Public Policy," which are the record of one completed stage of his career, may be the herald of his entrance upon a new political field, which he will not less usefully cultivate. I.IIOO3TIATION 000111 The Teiceraph points out that in the sittings of the Re gistration Courts about to begin, a whole range of new questions will come up for decision, connected with the novel conditions which the legislature has imposed ai qualifications to be inacribed on the electoral roll. The battle for supremacy at the approaching election will, in a great number of ewe, practically be decided be fcrehand. The political engineer, of the so-called "Con stitutional" party are springing a number of mines. at random, in all directions, with • not unreasonable hope that they will succeed in shattering • few of the un guarded defences of their opponents. The nation will expect that daring the next three weeks the Iberia agents will apply themselves to their duties with a real stimu lated by the consciousness of all that is at stake. POCK ET Co' Commenting upon the Woodstock content, the T. eva asks how long the new Parliament is likely to endure the flagrant and unmitigated fact of a score or two consti tuencies voting just as they are bid, just as stewards minuet them, and just as they know their landlords or their masters wish? The Duke of Marlborough certainly is not making a came for pocket boroughs. Per haps his party don't want a cue. Perhaps a case cannot be made. If it be so, wo are going down the stream, and there is uo more argument, policy, justice, or statesman ship in the matter. We would rather cling to the super stition that there is better and worse, wise and foohsh, nay even constitutional and unconstitutional in this matter and if there be, we cannot think the Duke of Marlborough has dune the best he could have done under the cirrumstaucts. TRADE PROJECT? AND RAILWAY ORLIOATIONS. The Doily New; after remarking that the events of the past two years have disclosed many of the weak points of our trading and financial pulley, says that on all sides xcessive caution has taken the place of over-speculation, and the fear is tlutt the present carefulness may suddenly end in a violent reaction. A period of dulnese is frequently. if not always, succeeded by one of inflation ; but the chief eafeguazd now lies in the hope of a steady recovery in trade before the lessons of the past have bern forgotten. Ac regards the conversion of railway debentures, into debenture stock, the Deily Nrirx think. that if it is to take place on a large scale greater induce menta must 1,. offered to the public. The fact that debentures fall due at five I periods has made them a favourite investment, especially with corporations. Such securities are more readily convertible than stock, and loans can he obtained on them with greater facility. Both the companies and the public, however, would gain by the proposed conversion ; the former being thus freed front a constant source of anxiety, and the latter obtaining an ow xceptionable security at a good rate of interest. the Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, SLPT. The Queen, accompanied 1P) Princess, Louise. drove in the grounds this morning. Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice also went out.

Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice also went out. Prince.* Louise and Prince Leopold and the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting attended Divine service this morn. ing in the private chapel. The Rev. J. St. John Blind and the Rev. R. Duckworth officiated, the sermon being preached by the Rev. 3. St. John Blunt. Prince and Princess Christian vi4ited her 3fujeety to day, and remained to luncheon. Despatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the Australian colonies, Hong Kong, Ceylon, Gibraltar, and Malta. Despatches were sent to the Governors of the North American provinces and British Columbia. The Right Hon. B. and Mr.. Disraeli arrived ill tvwu on Saturday from Hughenden Manor. Ills Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at Gloucester House yesterday froni the Continent. After leaving Homburg, the duke went to Paris, and, after a brief sojourn, proceeded to Chalons to visit the camp. His royal highness is in excellent health. The Duke and Duehems of Marlborough have during the week been visiting the Earl and Countess of Malmesbury at Heron Court, near Christchurch. Much sympathy is felt for the Bishop of Limerick, Dr. Graves, whose eldest son has just died front the effeets of sunstroke, in the 27th year of his age. The deceased belonged to the India Civil Service ; but in con sentiency of impaired health came home on leave of absence. A few days since he went to Cahir for a game at cricket, and became ill on the field, and never rallied. The Rev. F. G. Lee, editor of the second and thirl editions of the Directories, Anglicamvsa, Antos that the eccentricities which distinguished the lat ritualistic festival at Haydock are not sanctioned by that book. The principle on which the latter was compiled is that what was not regularly, formally, and legally abolished at the Reformation is still in force. " Prom a legal, as well as from a common sense point of view, this principle, honestly and fairly applied, is both sound and solid ; as the heal decision in the Knightsbridge Churches' ease and the recent judgment of Sir Robert Chillimore abundantly testify. But this principle by no means covers the intro duction of rites and ceremonies, as novel and universal in their character as they appear to inc entirely out of place in a church."
