Is there anything in the clauses of the Treaty of Zurich as we now know them, or in the Villafranca pro gramme as interpreted by one of the Sovereigns who signed it, which ought to induce us to abandon, for the sake of the peace and tranquillity of Europe. the simple and saving principle of non-intervention, or to suffer with our assent the right of the Italian people to choose their own government to be defeated and denied' The disciples of Doctor PA,..LO+s point exultingly to the four conditions demanded by the Emperor of the F•xvcit, in his letter to his " Brother" of S tRDINIA, and they ask whether England need be ashamed to set her seal to such • settlement as this would be, if carried out in its entirety ? Perhaps this is begging • rather large question ; but let us briefly review theft conditions, and leave our readers to estimate their sincerity on the one side, and their practicability on the other. 1.

Tune is a striking contrast between the modesty of the proposition to send out six mimionaries to Africa and the profusion of eloquence by which it was recommended in the Cambridge Senate Huss se Tuesday. None of the great Missionary Societies was founded with half so much oratories( display,and an impression is left, soon perhaps to be obliterated, bet neverthelem real, that the present occasion has been overlaid with rhetoric. It is now two years since Dr. LIVINGSTONE produced that strong impres sion in the University to which, u the report of the Committee Worms us, this new minion owes its origin. Yet although there is now an Oxford Committee, and a Cambridge Committee, and a Lon don Committee, all that has been contributed or promised to the fund is 1,6001. in donations and 1761. in annual subecriplons. In due time all the money that is wanting will undoubtedly be forthcoming; but at present the tongue is outrunning the hand. The text of the Cambridge speeches on Tuesday woe LIVINGSTONE. If, u Mr. GLADSTONE remarked, that eminent man showed the height of his i te II igenoe and the greatness of his mind by making Oxford and Cambridge the centres of his efforts at home, it must be admitted that the Universities showed equal tact in the facility with which they have appropriated the distinguished labours and prestige of a sectary. We hope the lesson will not be lost on societies which may chance to find among their agents a man of larger views and greater heart than their own. We believe it is not generally known that Livnturroxa received a check in the midst of his career from the committee of the Society which first sent him to Africa, in the form of an intimation that he was deviating from the proper object of a missionary society. Had he been appreciated and supported by those who sent him out, it is possible that he might not have become an Oxford or Cam bridge hero. LIVINGSTONx saw, as all great sok 'Wearies to rude tribes have men, that Christianity and civilisation must go together. Another truth much neglected he recognised and proclaimed. It was that missionary work, even among Navarra requires the best men. He said at Cambridge, " I do not want plain men for this work, but persons "distinguished by education and weight of cha " meter." The Mas teacher is known by his ability to simplify great truths, and without a thorough educational training this is all but impossible. Be cause the rode as.d comparatively ignorant preacher, by appealing to subjective experience, or pre senting familiar images in a lively manner, can awaken a certain concern in his hearers, it is hastily assumed that the religious teacher of the barbarian need. but few mental qualifications. But elms ob servation shows this to be a fallacy. The positive notions of divine objects which such persons implant in the dark mind of the savage will; often be not only erroneous, but piths different from those which were in the speaker's mind. To strip the represen tation of a truth of all that is contingent and adventitious, and at the same time make it attractive to the hearer, is the triumph of teaching, and demands the very highest qualities. Minions cannot be carried on successfully without the willing aid of men to whom the adoption of the missionary career will be a real and trying surrender of worldly interests. Oxford and Cambridge contain men able to count the coat and make this sacrifice. And when it is am that the best men dedicate themselves unre servedly to this service, no power on earth will be able to restrain their countrymen at home from sup porting them abundantly with material means.

Advice. from Constantinople to the 26th ultimo state that the new Grand Vizier insists, in the first place, that the culprits in the late conspiracy should not be executed. To this the Sultan has readily given his consent. The sympathies of the population continue to be in favour of the accused. The Grand Vizier demands complete reforms, and wishes that the chief religious dignitaries should contribute largely to the public taxes, and that the Sultan should sacrifice one-third of his own revenue. The Grand Vizier having met with resistance to these measure. among his colleagues, a modification of the ministry will therefore take place. It is stated that Ethena Pacha will succeed Find Pacha.

I believe there is no hidden reason for the retire ment of the Duke of Padua. He is a man of large fortune, who dislikes work to which he was never accustomed, and who only accepted the Ministry of the Interior from personal attachment to the Em peror, and in the hope of adding to his popularity. The principal public act of his administration was a circular justifying the French interpretation of the ex pression " liberty of the press," the logic of which was not very convincing. With this exception, the public soarcely seer heard of him. lie is a thorough gentleman, and was liked by the officials with whom he came in contact. He has the satisfaction of re membering that the amnesty was issued during his period of office, and it must also be said that although, as in duty bound, he maintained in theory the necessity of warnings, he used them very spar ingly, and the press enjoyed under his administra tion a degree of practical liberty unknown since the establishment of the empire. His successor, M. Billault, it will be remembered, quitted the office of Minister of the Interior, which he had held for three years, immediately after the Orsini affair in January, 1838. The untoward administration of his imme diate successor, General Espinesse, caused him to be regretted. M. Billault is a good man of business, and perhaps as liberal a minister as could be ap pointed consistently with the institutions of he empire. The Bourse opened with tolerable firmness, but as soon as the transactions for the settlement were over it became weak. The Rents closed at 69fr. 80e. for cash, and 69fr. 60c. for account, with a rise of 15c. in the first case and a fall of 15c. in the latter. Mobilier fell ltr. 250. Railways were about 2fr. 50e. higher, with the exception of Northern, which fell 2fr. 50c. To-day, for the first time, transaction' were done in the Rent. with variations of 21c. in- stead of 5e., which was formerly the minimum. The asseesont cannot act until their names have been posted up for a week. The new rules are expected to be placarded to-morrow, but it is reported that M. Magus objects to some of them as too likely to encourage operations for a fall. The heavy gales that have been blowing for the last twenty-four hours have interrupted the commu nications between the French and English coasts, the weather being so boisterous that the packets have been unable to put to sea. No mails from London have reached Paris to-day, and none are expected till to-morrow. The latest news from Tangiers oomes down to October 23. An officer attached to the court of the Emperor of Morocco had brought an order to the governor to put the place in a state of defence, and in consequence 1,200 Moors had been at once set to work to raise redoubts and new batteries. The garrison was expecting large reinforcements. It is not thought that the Spanish forces will be in a condition to commence hostilities before the 10th or 12th of November. A Spanish journal, the Iberia, states upon the faith of a letter from Tarifa, of October 19, that in the night of the 16th and 16th an English vessel, bound for Tangiers, with 10,000 moakets on board, was captured by a Spanish ship. The Opinion Nationale observes upon this news that, assuming it to be true, the importance of it most not be exag gerated. The English carry on a brisk trade with Morocco; they habitually supply the people of that country with flr►erms, and large quantities of English make are sent up the country in caravans es far as Timbuctoo and Soudan. The British government is not, then, in any case to be accused of complicity with a private adventurer who may have wished to take advantage of the present crisis to obtain a high price for a cargo of gone. A Turin letter in the Presie gives a reason for the interview of Garibaldi with Victor Emmanuel inconsistent with the supposition that they met to discuss the Emperor Napoleon's letter. Garibaldi, it is said, went to save the lives of 17 young Sardinian soldiers who had joined his legion under a mistaken impression that they were discharged from the Sardinian service, and were liable to be shot as deserters. He of coarse obtained their pardon, but it is difficult to suppose that his personal presence at Turin could have been necessary for such a pur pose. He was recognised by the public, and obliged to show himself in the balcony of his hotel, where he received an ovation from an immense crowd. He left Turin immediately after his audience of the Ling.

ITALY. -...- THE PAPAL STATES. Oriole orn SPECIAL CESENA, Ocr. 27. This morning, before leaving Rimini, I had a long interview with General Garibaldi, who had just arrived there from Bologna. I was greatly pleased to find that the announcement of the peace signed last week at Zurich bad not shaken that indomitable faith which the gallant leader has felt in the triumph of the Italian cause from the beginning of the national movement. In accepting the command of the Tuscan army, and the second of the army of the Central Italian league, Garibaldi gave his word to Victor Emmanuel that he would not rashly cross the frontier of the Papal dominiotu, or do anything which could furnish a pretext to European diplo macy for interfering in the affairs of this country. From what I could gather in our rather long conversation I have no doubt that Garibaldi means to keep his word as he has always done. It strikes me, however, that if he is kept at the head of his army, which, as I have told you in my former letters, is almost to a man composed of the revolu tionary element of those provinces, a day will per haps come when he will be obliged to take the lead of the revolution, should Kings and Emperors play false with him. An honest man, as Garibaldi is, may be easily deceived by crafty diplomacy for some months, not more. When his patience shall have been tried, when hie conscience shall tell him that the so much praised moderation was but a meek to conceal an iniquitous deception, you may depend upon it the general who is now a model of discipline will soon become the bold and daring leader of former days. Ile will at once resign his commission,and having other duties to per form, he will, in my opinion, not linger in their per formance. Simple in his manners, as he is honest in his heart, he will then say to his army, " I have been deceived as you have been, our country has been sacrificed, we are free of our engagements, let us proclaim the necessity of a national revolution, it is our right as well as our duty ; God and liberal Europe will be with us." Of course the general did not actually express any such intentions to me, but as I found him still the Italian patriot of old, and as he declared to me that he has an unlimited faith in the triumph of the national cause, I think I am not wrong in interring that, if deceived in the hopes he has so warmly cherished during his lifetime, he will act at once and as nobly as he did in 1848 and 1849. Garibaldi is not a man of compromise., he has honestly accepted the supremacy of the Sardinian King, for he thinks that Victor Emmanuel is now the keystone of Italian redemption. Should the future prove that he has been wrong, he will, I am sure, take on himself the responsibility of a last attempt to save hie country. I thought it was my duty to call the attention of English readers to this subject, for it would be a great mistake to suppose that both Garibaldi and his army can be sent home, should a European Congress decide that Central Italy must be contented with receiving back again the petty tyrants she has sent away. Upon this subject let me tell you that the people of this country are at a loot to understand how some of your Eng lish contemporaries can advise our government not to join the Congress. They think that this is neither • fair nor a wise way of getting out of the present difficulty; for, in their opinion, England's not join ing the Congress would be an act of abdication on her part of theinfinence she both= and oughtto exercise in such an important question. There was a time at which Mr. Pitt could wisely write to Count Woronzow that reasons of policy required that the strength of the minor Italian states should be increased, and that Austria should be placed in a situation to furnish them with prompt assistance in case of attack from France. It was, perhaps, W- I dispensable, in the view of an English statesman in 1805, that the territory of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, as well as that of Modena, Parma and the Legation., should be brought in con tact with the dominions which Austria possessed in the Peninsula. In the opinion of our states men, such territorial arrangements would have gone far to secure the future repose of Europe, because it was then thought that they would have formed a more powerful barrier against the ambition of Imperial France. Bat since experience has demonstrated that the Napoleonic policy of our days is altogether changed, it is now against Austrian encroachments that the so much wanted barrier mast be formed in the Italian Peninsula. This is the duty which, in the opinion of Italian patriots, England is called upon to perform at the present stage of this difficult question. It is not by a policy of absten tion on the part of the only liberal great power of our times that the future repose of Europe will be secured. To abandon Italy when it can be saved by our disinterested influence would be for England not only a great crime, but a fault of which she would repent one day or other. There cannot be any mistake about it. if the wishes of the Italian people are not properly listened to, a most bloody revolution will be the last act of the drama which is now keeping Europe in suspense. I had written so far when a post-chaise drew up in the courtyard of the dirty hotel at which I am now writing. It is Garibaldi, who has been suddenly summoned to Modens by the telegraph. General Banfront, one of Victor Emmanuel's aides-de camp, is travelling with him, and people here say that they have been both called to Modena on some important business. Of course the most absurd rumours of imminent attack are afloat here, for Italian people who make the °steno or the cafe their home, have nothing else to do but speculate upon anything that turns up, even upon the journey of two general officers who may have been called on some ordinary ditties from one city to another. I think, however, that all the idle talk which has been just brought to me has no foundation whatever, for it would have been known at Geri. baldi's headquarters before leaving Rimini this morning if there had been any serious apprehension at Modena of an imminent attack. In one of my former letters I informed you that Cesena is to be considered as the very focus of the red republican party in the Legations. Since then I have made some inquiries, and I may now s tate, on good authority, that such is really the case. It is in this city that the most dangerous and aetive members of the secret societies still meet, in the hope that the day is near at hand in which the moderate party will be obliged to acknowledge it has been grossly deceived by the leaders of the national movement. Happily enough, the influence these mischieGmakers exercise over the bulk of the population is not eo great u to lead to any serious ocasequenose for the present. The agents of the cen tral government keep a close eye upon them, and they are well informed about what is going on in their nocturnal meetings. I have been told that the night before last the most absurd speeches were made by the ringleaders of this party at one of their meetings. Garibaldi was denounced as a traitor; *mini himself was too moderate, for in his last letter he went so far as to address Victor Emmanuel with the denomination of Sire. The follies of these few madmen greatly increase the hopes of the clerical party, which knows how well it would serve its purpose to have just now a red republican manifes tation in the Legations. In order to throw discredit upon the liberal government of this country they are now obliged to have recourse to all sorts of absurd calumnies. The other day they were not ashamed of publishing the gross falsehoods that the Bishop of Rimini had been arrested, and that churches had been polluted by drunken soldiers with infamous dances. The bishop has never left his palace, except to take his after dinner nap in a comfortable carriage; churches have never been profaned, priests have never been in milted. It is a second edition of the threatened violation of the Verrucchio nuns, which the Univers and its fellow calumniators were afterwards obliged to deny. Three priests have really been arrested at Morciano; but I saw myself the written proofs that they had offered money to some soldiers of the 23rd Regiment it they would join the papal army at Pesaro. These priests have been sent to Bologna, and will be tried by the criminal tribunal of the ' country. Were England in the political condition of the Legations, and such crimes had been com mitted there, the instigators of them would have been at once handed over to the commander-in- chief and tried by a court-martial. If there is, therefore, any fault to be found with the govern ments of Central Italy, it is for an excess of modera tion which characterises all their political acts. It strikes me that even in the cases where energy would he wanted, the fear of appearing too revolutionary makes them more moderate than need be. NAPLES. A Turin letter, of the 29th alt., says The lut steamer from Naples brings the intelligence that the insurrection in Sicily is not terminated, whatever may have bean said to the contrary. The brothers Mutrioehi, who are well known patriots, are keep ing their armed forces in the mountains ; and every thing indicates an insurrection in the south of the island. Several of the energetic men who took part in Baron Bentivagna's movement in 1855, and who Bed to Malta, and returned, were taking part in the insurrection. The Neapolitan government felt each disquietude that it had canted arrests to be nude in all towns, and at Palermo upwards of 200. It is believed here that the movement in Sicily will become really serious." SARDINIA. The Spero of Turin says: It appears that the government hes resolved on suspending for an indefinite time the opening of the subscription to the loan. It is not in Immediate want of money, and if a neces sity should arise, it can be supplied by an issue of Treasury Ws. The sudden fall which took place in the Piedniontesis funds, on the publication of the decree for the loan, has in duced the government to come to that resolution. Hopes are entertained that by the delay both conditions can be obtained, sad that the error committe d in not making known at race the conditions on which the loan was to be effected--en error which enabled speculations to be made on the Bouree—will be repaired. The loan could not have been announced at a more unfavourable moment than that selected, as fears wen entertained that new obstacles to a solution of the Italian question had arisen. A letter from Verona in the Eco deUa Boron of Venice says : The disarming which we now fee going on before us eel.- tsinly does not look warlike. If, on the one band, the army is increased by 18 regiments, that is to my, if they are carried up from 62 to 80, on the other, instead of their reckoning as hitherto from 6,000 to 7,000 men in time of war, they shall rely have from 2,000 to 3,000 at the utmost, and in the same proportion in time of peace. Several corps end a whole army have been suppressed, and all the commanding officers may have have at absence for six months with half-pay, or for twelve months without pay. Nevertheless Austria continues to act according to her old pretensions, end her new pu ree; printed at Venice still tear the title—" Lombardo- Venetian Kingdom?' The Swiss government has proposed to sell to the Sardinian government, for a certain sum paid down, the right which several Swiss cantons possess of sending pupils gratuitously to the BorroMee Foun dation in the Ecclesiastical College at Milan. PRUSSIA. A Berlin letter of the 29th ult. states The partial elections to complete the Second Chamber are now taking place, and the liberal party has the advantage everywhere. The Prussian government, which has already been forced to withdraw the pro jest of customs reforms presented at the conference of arzbourg, has also met with obstinate resistance in a somewhat similar question. Prussia proposed to the governments interested that the tolls on the Rhine should be suppressed, and Germany eagerly supported the generous idea; but still it could not be realised owing to the opposition of the Grand Duchy of Hesse Darmstadt and the Duchy of Haman.

RAILWAY CONP4IIIS6' 4ssocurioN.— (TR IS DAY.) Thin morning a meeting of this association was held at the Railway Clearing-house, 101, Seymour-street, liuston-equra • Mr. H. S. THOMPSON in the chair. After the trinasotion of some purely formal baainee• the CHAIRMAN said be held in his hand the act posed lam NO. sion to enable railway companies to Wile their difficulties by arbitration upon a more extensive scale than they had pre viously been able to do. He was happy to say that that act, which was so valuable in itself, was not likely to remain • dead letter, but that railway companies would probably avail theweelves of its important powers. It was the first-fruits of the co-operation of such companies—oo-operation which, if continued, would, he was convinced, lead to further results. Another bill was introduced to alter the Railway Cowponies Classes Ac t, sad to extend to those compacies advantages which other commercial associations powered; but it being eeae sary • grist deal of evidence should be laid before a parliamentary committee, it was found that in consequence of the dissolution it would be impossible to have the bill carried in the last session, and accordingly in June it we. until the next. In order to secure the of that bill, and make it of any real value, there must be • common and hearty effort on the part of railway companion; there mast be a determination on their part to pull together and to make mutual concessions. The results of the great contest which had gone on for two or three years between many of the leading companies bad naturally led to a feeling that they ought to make errangements to prevent that which it was so painful to witness, and which had entailed such great losses. Several of the great companies were endeavouring to adopt agree menu of a very entangles character, and he believed that if they set to work In earnest they might obtain an Act which would facilitate that object, and lead to a fair inter change of traffic, in the course of the next session. It had been intended that drafts of the bill should be circulated 14 days be [aesthetician to Dezember; but several amendments having been suggested, it was now thought that the beat coarse would be to have It considered and amended in committee and submitted to the meeting in its amended form. lie then moved • resolution to the effect that the expenses of the last quarter, viz., 1291. fis.3d., should be debited in equal propor tions to the various railway companies belonging to the association ; adding that the amount payable by each company was only 41. 12a. 4d. Mr. GAMILI seconded the motion; which was put and carried. A resolution was subsequently pared substituting seven days' for one months' notice of any contemplated transaction of badness. Mr. GAMBLE =Zit MIS very important that this as socistien should whether any means could be devised fur putting en and to a serious and growing evil as regarded the interests of railway companies ; he referred to the sub ject of packed parcels. (Hear.) Within the last month or two an association had been formed which was not only carrying packed parcels at an extremely low rate, but even allowing persons for the payment of an annual or a monthly sum to receive as many parcels as they liked ; and within a fortnight of that time a certain house in the county of York received a number of parcels from London which, at the rate that they paid per month to the parties who collected them, did not average three farthings per parcel. He hoped that this evil would be dealt with by the association. The CHAIRMAN intimated that the subject would be out sidered by the committee, with a view of providing a remedy for the evil in the bill which was to be brought forward in the next session. Mr. Iluoceox said, while he fully concurred in the im portance of railway companies having greater powers for entering into mutual agreements, be thought such powers would not end should not be granted by parliament without corresponding concessions on the part of railway companies, which would guarantee to the public the uninterrupted con veyance of themselves and of their goods from one end of the kingdom to the other. (Hear, hear.) The obstructions which had in many i nstances been raised were only detri mental to the publ ic,and violation of the duty of railway companies toward, public. Toe CIIOORMAN stated that the neat meeting of the asso ciation would be held on the 16th instead of the Bth of December. The meeting then separated. AN UNFOUNDED CHARGE. BIR PETER LAURIE. At the Guildhall yesterday, Mr. Loader, of Skinner-street, attended before Sir Peter Laurie sa d Alderman Copeland, according to his promise, to pradnos the little boy, William Webb who, a person who gave the name of Richard Child, and described h im self ea a wine and spirit agent, of 52 and 63, Ciatched-friers, accused on Satur day last of attempting to pick his pocket of a huge pocket. book, which be carried in the inside pocket of an nuder-ooat, the boy having in hie band at the time be was charged with the offence a box about six inches square, containing gold leaf belonging to his master. On that °maim' the man Child, from Me respectable attire and his address, oouateting of two housee, was looked upon as a person to be »lied on, and Sir P r ier Laurie accordingly gave him the benefit of his appearance and credited his story so tar as to remand the tad, for whom a considerable amount of sympathy was e:peered. The little boy was now brought forward, and Sir Peter Laurie said—Where is the prearcittor Mr. Martin—ls Richard Child here There was no response to this inquiry, and Mr. martin then handed in the following letter, which had barn mot to him in cone/queue of the report of this cue: "Van Oppen and Picard, wine and spirit merchant', 62 and - 63, Crotched Friars, London, 8.C., Nov. 1. "Dear sir, —Referring to the cue heard before Sir Peter Laurie on Saturday last, when a boy was charged with at. tenipting to pick the pocket of a Mr. Richard Child, who described himself of No. 62 and 63, Crotched-fries, which we beg to stets that he had no right to do, baring been merely in our employ on commission, and has : neither office nor place of residence at the above address, " We remain, dear sir, yours respectfully, "VAN OPPEN AND PTCAbD. " Mr. Geo. Martin, Pollos-court, Guildhall." Mr. Martin-1 bare also received a letter from a pereat wbo signs himself A. Neighbour" of the prosecutor, stating he (Child) occupies a reedy-furnished back room in Edward-street, Blackfriare-road ' and that this is lot the first accusation of the kind he has made. The letter also contained other information relative to Child'ageneral habits; but as the letter la anonymous we do not feel at liberty to Indorse the assertions. Mr. Rns (thii;ninMonlng ofdeer)—Richard Child doe' not anoner. _ _ _ Sir Peter Lanrie—l don't expect he will come; bat it dose not matter. _ _ _ _ . _ _ Alderman Copelend—l beg your pardon, Sir Peter. We abloom does signify most materially. This man came before you and swore that his address was 52 end 33, Crotched friary, whereas it seems that was a false address. It also appears that he is a notorious drunkard ; end if you want to know more of him, my clerk is outside, who will give you his history for years peat. Mr. Loader—l made inquiries about this Richard Child. and tied that he is a man without a local habitation and s name;" and Matra. Van Oppen and Picard entirely repu diate him. Sir Peter Laurie—Ale you willing to take this boy back into your employ 2 Mr. Loader—Most certainly, sir. Sir Peter Laurie—Then I will discharge him at once; but remember, boy, it is your good character that hag saved you. Alderman Copeland—l am not &laved to let the matter drop here, fir this man, Richard Child, came hero with s very cruel charge. He gave • false address, and by his manner and appearance imposed upon Sir Peter Laurie, a megtstrate of thirty years' experience, and brought down upon him the obloquy of such a proceeding, because he (Sir Peter) believed him on his oath. I ehoold therefore suggest that proper means be a4opted forthwith to punish this man for such conduct. Ido not know what course Sir Peter Laurie inlaid, to pursue with regard to a drunken fellow who impoeas upon him as this Richard Child has done, but I certainly am not inclined to let him escape with impunity. Mr. Loader then thanked the aldermen for the Anambra given to the cane, c.•d withdrew with the boy Webb and his friends.
