THE VISIT OF TES ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS TO BELGIUM. (Thom ♦ corunnvownearr.) BRUSSRLS, FRIDAY Mon Fa. Yesterday afternoon the volunteers mustered in the Place du Musee to the number of about 900 or 1,000 strong, bent upon seeing Antwerp, and upon showingthent selves in that ancient town. Before they started Colonel Lindsay addressed the forte with respect to making ar rangements for receiving the Belgians next year in Rag land, and he took occasion to observe that his great pride in commanding this novel invading army was greatly heightened by the gentlemanly behaviour of all the volun teers who had placed themselves under his command— behaviour which he hoped would be followed to the end. The force marched to the Station du Nord, headed by the excellent band of the First Surrey Rifles. First class carriages were provided for the whole force, and officers and men were sent off in three trains. At Antwerp they found the station filled with the Garde Civique, the regi mental bands of which immediately struck up the English National Anthem, followed by the Brabanconne. The volunteers fell into their divisions in the beet order, and again marched forth amid the most enthusiastic cheering of the military and the populace. The first place of visit was the Zoological-gardens, after inspecting which the volun teers marched through the streets of the fine old city. Passing through cheering crowds, they came beneath the celebrated cathedral, from the stately tower of which the bells pealed forth " and save the Queen" and the Brabanconne, alternately. They next came to a stand in front of the magnificent Hotel de Ville, where the officers fell out, to be received by the city authorities, and the men dispersed for a couple of hours to seek for refresh ment.

The mustering place was the station, at 7 o'clock, but the volunteers no sooner got there than they were fraternally seized by the garde civique, Lad carried off to a host Hof amusements provided for them. The theatres were opened to them free, and they were also entertained in a splendid hall, at the fete of an artistic society. There was a grand concert, and presently Colonel Lindsay, Lord Bury, and the president and officers of the society, arrived. Speeches were made on all sides, and the utmost enthusiasm pre vailed. After spending an hour here the volunteers were seised hold of and taken to a concert of the Royal Har i monic Society, given in • magnificent hall. The cere monies were to have closed with a grand torch light pro cession, but when I left for the railway station at a very late hour this had not taken place. Previous to the departure for Antwerp a meeting of volunteer officers was held at the Mess-room of the English Volunteers, Belle Vue Hotel, at 11.30 a.m., for the pur pose of organising arrangements for the suitable recep tion of the Belgians at Wimbledon in 1867, and also for making arrangements connected with the visit of volunteers to Belgium neat year.

Fua RATING OF MACHINERY. —A Cane involving an important question as to rating machinery in silk mills and similar factories was decided on Thursday at the Essex sessions at Chelmsford. Maws. Courtauld, the extensive silk and crape manufacturers, appealed against an advance of the rate on their mills at Plahtead from 613 f. 15s. to 2,400/. by the Union Assessment Committee. The Solicitor-General was specially retained by the appel lant'. The question was whether, besides the steam engines and !ankh, which created and conveyed the motive power (which it was admitted were rateable), the ether machinery which utilised the power was liable to meow ment. There were the winding, throwing, warping, and other machines, and also the power looms; and because these were fixed to the floors, as it was said, for the simple purpose of steadying them, it was contended they became permanent improvements of the freehold, essential to its working and value, and therefore rateable. Witnesses were called from the manufacturing districts, who all stated that this clan of machinery was never rated ; they did not know a single case of rating of the kind at Manchester, Macclesfield, or Congleton ; and it was admitted by the respondents that they could not produce bk. BILIOUS and LIVER PILLS, r giah case th in e which i l t e was rated, but they now came to este that it ought to be. The Solicitor hOWlttrilir linin g remedY , prepared without say morotetul General argu ed that the winding and other similar l i i ism ; our. be frond invaluable to all who suffer from bilious machines, and the looms, were chattels, not rateable, and, I % of th i , . 9 " 14 ". indi gnation. wind.

These has been much suffering amongst the (nom ()us appciAL working classes of Venice, in consequence of the dismissal of labourers from the mint, the arsenal, and the government tobacco factory. More than two thonausd families have been deprived of their ordinary means of support during several weeks past, yet they have neither raised bread riots, nor committed any other acts of violence. It was a comfort to them that their dismissal by the etrangen was to be followed by a change of rule , which they had long desired. The people out of work waited patiently to be re-employed, and their•l wealthier fellow-citizen did all in their power to help them. Liberal subscriptions were made, and in addition to what Venice herself could do, there came charitable gifts from beyond the Lagoon. Both Victor Emmanuel and the Emperor of the Fres& sent money for the relief of the distressed laboosers, as did also several municipalities on the main land. There is now a daily issue of rations to the aged and infirm, with a donation of about 6d. sterling to each man who is out et work. If mistake not the tobacco factory has just resumed its former activity, under Italian superintendence, so that a part of the dieresis will be at once re lieved. Homes will be cheered which are in upper stories' reached by many flights of stairs, and there will be something to buy the tricolor ribbon for the fMe day, or a glass of thin red wine for drink ing his Majesty's health. The government employe of the higher grade who decidad to change their allegiance and not to retire to Austria when their fellow-countrymen of the Italian .kingdom should take' Poiseadon of Venice have been sorely pistoled in pocket. Their solaria ceased on September 1, and with each delay in the peace negotiations they have seen their finansial position grow more embarrassed. They could not solicit charity, and they felt bound to continue at their poets that they might not deserve to be superseded. So they have remained unpaid, hop* to see the tricolor hoisted next week, and disappointed, when next week cams, to find that the good time was still deferred. Everyone has been hoping, and everyone, except the imperial and royal commissioners, has been in a chronic state of disappointment. People in general did not appreciate the immense amount of detail whit)♦ a peaceable cession of cities and territory involves. MM. Mooring, Bevel, and Lebceuf must have groaned over the total of Austrian war material, while others were groaning over their slowness in bringing the affair to an end. At last we have intelligence of a move in the right direc tion. The diplomats have said their say, the in renter,' of the goods of one Francis Joseph, an out-going tenant, has been duly examined, and the Austrians have moved out of Peachier& By this time there may have been another move inthe right direction ; Verona may be free to express her =without danger of the bloody work of 6. As they are under orders to go, the sooner the Austrians vanish from the scene the bet- Anr.egban will come the plebiscite, the vote for Victor Emmanuel, which is a foregone conclusion, and his Majesty's solemn entry into Venice. He will acquire two million and a half of new subjects by the cession of Venetia, and a fine sea port in the grand old Queen of the Adriatic. These northern Italians are little likely to cause political trouble to the kingdom. They have learnt a bitter lesson from their foreign masters, and will value the unity of Italy before everything else. Priests and republicans would in vain exhort them to de sert the house of Savoy, for Victor Emmanuel is the rallying point of all parties, and his popularity is unbounded. Among the signs of returning life in Venice— the painting, and hammering, and extension of premises—are to be seen several newly-opened gun shops. Firearms were forbidden, and it was ac counted treasonable even to speak of them. But with the extinction of the Austrian police a week ago, guns and pistols became recognised articles of commerce. The National Guard did not fear that they should be overpowered by armed thieves, and the former source of danger from revolution was happily removed. I can now walk out and buy a pistol as easily as an umbrella ; though, in t 1 torrents of rain which are falling, it weld be of much leas use to me. I can buy a dozen pistols for that matter, and half a dozen daily newspapers. What a change since this day week ! Half a dozen daily papers in Venice alone, with constant arri vals of Florentine and Milanese journals. The feast of reason is well-nigh overpowering, yet it is preferable to the dulness which preceded it. THE NEW PROTECTOR FOR THE POPE. The Dibats of yesterday says : Being no longer able to preserve any doubt as to the re gular execution of the September Convention, the ultra montane journals now announce that another Catholic power intends to take the place of France at Rome. This time it is no longer Austria. The r6le of Austria in Italy is finished for ever. Besides, it has recently been disco vered that Austria is abandoned to the freemasons and pantheists, and reliance upon her has ceased. The power referred to is Spain. The Queen's 'government is said to have declared that it considered the affairs of Rome es the " home " affairs of catholicity, and that it proposed in consequence to take the place of France immediately after the departure of the army of occupation. This is what we are told, and seriously told. We really do not know whether such absurdities need to be discussed ; we will merely observe that a pretension of this kind on the part of no matter what power would in fallibly have the result of hastening the conclusion sought to be postponed. It does not appear to be understood that if Italy has respected Rome it was because France was there, and because Italy has obligations towards France. If instead of a French garrison there had been an Austrian or Spanish garrison at Rome, it is more than probable that the Italian colours would be over the Capitol. But the French intervention had quite an exceptional charac ter. The French were not strangers in Italy, and were not considered so by the Italians themselves. Not as is pre tended because they were Catholics, but became they were allies, auxiliaries. The Italians well knew that France was not the enemy of their independence, for she had been its most powerful instrument. They well knew that the roldiers who were at Rome were the same who had fought for them at Solferino ; they well knew also that when the French quitted Rome they would restore it only to itself or to Italy. Very different would be the position of any other power. This time it would be the presence of the enemy in the heart of the national territory, and it would not be tolerated for a single day. The object of the September Convention was to bring the Pope face to face with hie subjects, and the It.lian government undertook to guard against and repress all external attack against the present territory of the Holy Bee. But the idea that Italy would permit any ether power than France to garrison Rome is simply absurd. Not lesa absurd is it that the government to whisk ash • project is attributed should be Spain. Has not that unfortunate government enough of its own 'affairs, home and foreign, without meddling with than of other people! With the influences ruling in that wretched cart we can sneerer for nothing. Fortunately the in• vinedble armada is occupied in bombarding South Anterior. THE WAR IN THE BRAZILS. RIO DE JANEIRO, PM.

LADIES' DJ STEM IN PARIIL-I8 CALNOLINJ OUT 07 'AMMONS The lively oorreepontsst of the Post st Paris laving remand Wars cram eons fair friends in Rosana begging him to ink= than whether crinoline is in ce out of familial in Paris, writes in reply :—" I meet in the streets of Para, and sometimes at an evening reception, • toilette of the period of the First Empire ; sheet-waisted, and meanly there can be no minoline er hen-hooped may. thing ender • somewhat scanty robe, soak me Ledy Jersey danced in at Alnack's in the days of °eons Iv.

For the last ten years, if one ' write; history serrectly, we must °autos we have seen little of that pretty feature of female loveliness. This has been a decided lees, for nature has windy provided that young people should fall in love with ether's feet and ankles as well ea their eyes.

I therefore oceolade that them are Wien of fashion moving about in the most refined entity honestly without crinoline ; but they are not yet a majority.

From the waist downwards this wet-epssodiog robe must be supported by some material. Lit erbsolMis Is it jape in another shape, or is it • masa of clustering under-clothing of cotton or then ?

Yon cannot with propriety ask • lady who she wean under the external silk or satin (each was ever in tended to be • jealous secret)— " And take time us the mystery of things, As if we Wllllll God's spies," As mid Ring Lear on • similar courtly question. It would be excessively mean to ask the lady's maid privately and confidentially of what underneath material her mistress is competed. How are you to fiad out? I have watched sublimely grand ladies get oat of a centege, under the impression that the accident of events might amble erne to form • pretty good opinion about the mann of crinoline' But no fume-capes ever turned up ; the robe falls into • monotonous spread, trails en the ground, and is an irritating to surrounding human nature as the old crinoline nuisance. Gentlemen have to dodge about in the draw• lug room, and on the pathway of gardens and whs. These dreams, like the old crinoline, to my knowledge, have canna some men to come out with wicked mite in French, and I do not see why this fashion should not also canoe ladies to be burnt to death as in the earlier days of crinoline. In the attests of Paris some ladies wear • dress which appears to be orinonnekes, until it suddenly and abruptly spree& out at the bottom as if • single hoop were employed. What is this' A windy day at the seaside might relieve coe's doubting mind. I strongly suspect this is the last ring— a horrid cage. If crinoline is expiring, it dies hard in Paris. The ladies at the markets still weer crinoline. and so do the ladies of the kitchen, therefon I suspect crinoline is hovering still about in all classes of society. Now, those interested in this momentous ques tion will say, Why don't you go to the fashion books for information! Ask an audience of Ir[--e W—t in the Rue de Is Pair.. Do you think you can say anything positive after all this ? One magazine of the fashions tells us :—" Taking our impressions from certain high indications. we think we may go so far as to declare that • gradual abandonment of crinoline is taking place in all Glasses of society." Yon then turn to the coloured plates, and there you find • dress worn by • lovely creature, the bottom of which is occupying nearly the whole width of the plata. What keeps out its vast spreading proportions! Al when you think of time and .ter ear any other sublime subject, the mind wanders is dim confusion.

It would be absurd to translate : " Deux genres blen distinct' caractdrisent les toilettes ; mini qui riduit l'ampleur et la longneur des robes eat adopt. pour les courses a pied, et Taxan genre, qui admit avec une faciliti extraonfinaire tomes lee exaggerations dans le sem oppose, en 'col reserve aux toilettes panes." Do you not observe, ladies, that here is the same hesi tation of which you complain in England! Is it that there are no original and great minds just now io Paris as of old to exclaim —" This is the fashion for October ; wear it all the world '. " If you ask me to sum up, my answer is, I believe crinoline is only half out, and something quite as bad is half in. We are probably passing through • period of transition. It will be very interesting for some time to come to look for the day when humanity can write -.okra joie. STORM AT HARTLEPOOL. WRECK OF THE FREEDOM, OF POOLE. A strong south-east gale has been raging along the coast of the Bay of Ilartlel for the pest forty-eight hours, and the sea has been lashed into the furious com motion of • storm, breaking with great force on the beach, and washing over the piers and other projections in the bay. Upwards of 200 sail of ships have safely entered the two harbours, principally light vessels bound for the port, and some have run in for shelter. On Thursday night the gale was at its height, and the atmosphere was exceedingly dense. The sea rolled in heavy breakers towards the harbours, and • few ships managed to steer their course clear into port. The bre' ru nit o ir, Captain Thompson, of Poole, made for West , and as it approached the entrance • heavy sea cau ght her stern, and, her course being altered, she dashed with her bows into tne South Pier, smashing in her stern, tad carrying away her bowsprit. The breakers rolling in quick cession into into the entrance swerved the vessel round, and she washed to the south of the pier, towards !Branton Sands. There being • fearful sweep occasioned by the length of pier at this point, the ship was soon carried on to the beach, and she grounded about half-way down the pier. Considerable anxiety was felt by the persons in the vicinity lest the lives of the crew of the unfortunate vessel should be jeopardised, as the night was intensely dark. A very short time elapsed before the pier was crowded with people, and ropes and life buoys were carried along, and the rocket apparatus sent for. The sea by this time was making complete breaches over the decks of the ship, and the crew had to ascend the rigging. A communication was got from the vessel to the shore, and the crew, eight in number, were all safely landed on the beach. Cap tain Mills, of the Clara Jane, of Whitby, was amongst those on the pier to render assistance, and in the darkness of the night fell over the side of the pier. The sea dashed him about, and he was washed about twenty yards from the abutment. Two or three ropes were thrown to him, and he managed to catch hold of one just as he was about exhausted, and Capt. Fowler was lowered do wn to the bottom of the pier and succeeded in rescuing him. He was in • rely distressed state when landed on the pier. Yesterday morning the stranded vessel was still holding together with her topsails set, and her head to the sea. She is very considerably damaged, and will the become a wrec k lron Era, . About 11 o'clock yesterday morning, screw steamer Captain Hon, of West Hartlepool, while attempting to enter the ha rb our at Old Hartlepool, ran on to the Fish Sands. The ateamtug Amelia at once put off to her assis tance, and got a tow rope from her stern, and succeeded in getting her off without much apparent injury. The schooner John Newport, Captain Melville, was cowing in at the time, and nearly ran foul of the steamer, and bad to risk sailing inside of the buoys, in order to pus her.

Brown, Curre, and Higgins were appointed trustees to wind-up the estate, and their management has been so euwieesful that a dividend of Bs. in the pound is announced as payable on the sth of November. Should the liquidation oontanue favourable, it is probable that the cre ditors will obtain more than the original estimate of 10e. in the pound.
