THE news from Southern Italy, which reached Paris on Saturday morning in time to cause a violent commotion in that Forum of public life— the Bourse, and which, on this side of the water, responsive speculators for the rise were enabled to improve in the course of the afternoon, cannot have taken by surprise the least attentive of our readers. Some of our more ingenious and astute contemporaries have been amusing the public with a view of the Garibaldian movement, which at least had the merit of profundity. According to their theory the state of siege in sixteen provinces, the blockade of Sicily, the despatch of the ablest general in the Royal army to Calabria, the reinforcement of the army in the Nea politan provinces by some sixty battalions of infantry, besides artillery and cavalry ; the severe proclamation of General LA MARMORA, —all these signs and acts of the most determined resistance on the part of the Government at Turin to the designs of GARIBALDI were, according to these prodigious seers, mere dust in the eyes of Europe. No serious encounter between the volun teers and the regular troops was intended ; it was all a "cross" between M. RATTAZZT, GARIBALDI, and the Emperor NAroLEoi. No reader of ours has been led astray by such optical illusions. Our letters from Sicily, so full and so precise, have shown that it was only by a miracle of wary bold ness that the great Chieftain struck across the ridges of the Sicilian mountains to the coast, at one time threading his way along the goat-paths and fording deep rivers, through a circle of pursuers, at another doubling back, and suddenly swooping down upon Catania. Our correspondent described with strict fidelity the temper of the army, the quality of the volun teers, and the " attitude" of the population. There were deserters from the royal forces to the camp of the great leader and liberator, but there were regiments in which the military spirit was so " good" that they were " ready to fire upon their " own fathers." GARIBALDI'S own forces were splendidly led and offiured, but for the most part the rank and file were very mixed, and of doubtful steadiness in action. The Sicilian population was frantic with enthusiasm under the magnetic charm of GARIBALDI'S presence, but out of his sight— excepting, perhaps, in the three great cities of the island—this enthusiasm cooled and languished into a sentiment without a purpose. Such appear to have been the condition and prospects of GARI BALDI'S appeal to arms in Sicily. But Sicily was a feint rather than an object ; the main land was the destination of the volunteers, and Calabria the last resort of the devoted men who had not lost faith in the fortunes of Italy. It was somewhat superfluous zeal on the part of Admiral PER.SANO to bring the Commander of the Italian Squadron in the Straits to a court-martial for permitting GARIBALDI " and his fortunes" to pass the Straits in a postal steamer. That the brave Genoese crews of the Italian frigates could have stirred a rope to seize one so sacred as their darling hero, famous alike by land and sea, was not to be imagined ; but while there was a skiff to carry him across, the hero of Marsala was not the man to wait for a fairer wind or a darker night. SO we heard that GARIBALDI was at Melito ; and thou that he was marching towards Reggio, but that, ever shrinking from the risk of shedding a drop of Italian blood, he had struck into the mountains to avoid a conflict with the Royal troops advancing from Reggio to meet him. The next we heard was that he was attacked on Friday last in a strong position at Aspromonte by • column of eighteen hundred Bersaglieri, commanded by Co lonel PALLAVICINO, and after a sharp contest wounded and taken prisoner, with his son and all his followers. Whether, contrary to expectation, the volunteers remained without effective support from the Calabrian population does not yet appear, but the forces at the disposal of Generals La MAR molt...! and CIALDINI were too overpowering to permit the issue to be doubtful in the event of an encounter. And thus for the first time in a storm-beaten and wayworn life, which has been all a battle and a march, GARIBALDI, with a handful of lads, shoe less, and armed with rusty muskets, has suffered defeat and capture in a fratricidal conflict, at the hands of an old comrade in Anna, commanding the troops of that Sovereign for whom with his own right hand he con quered the land on which he has now fallen. We do not envy the feelings of King Vicroa EM MANUEL, or even of his Minister, M. Rirrszzi, upon the tidings of this victory. Is there a monu ment to the memory of GARIBALDI'S landing at Reggio in 1860 f It should be replaced now by a memorial stone, on which may be inscribed : "To GARIBALDI, the Conqu.ror and Liberator ; " Vicroa Emmanort, the Receiver." On the obverse side : " To GARIBALDI, wounded and " defeated ; VICTOR EMMANUEL, the Requiter." There came a day when THRMISTOCLES was obliged to ask the Athenians whether they were weary of acknowledging the beLefits he bad done them. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 1, 1862. If GARIBALDI ask his " honest" Sovereign this question, what will be the answer I It can only be, " I am not master of my own house, or even "of my own heart." And GARIBALDI may rejoin with Brutus : LATEST INT ELLIONNON. GARIBALDI'S PROCLAMATION. We have received this morning letters and docu ments which show more clearly what were the plans and objects of Garibaldi. The most important is the proclamation which caused so much excite ment in the different cities throughout the Italian peninsula. It is dated Catania, August 24, and is as follows : I shall have glory by this losing day More than °staving and Marc Antony By this vile conquest shall attain auto. Those who honour great causes even more in defeat than in the hour of triumph will not accuse the unhappy Colonel who has been rewarded with promotion for defeating that old commander whom the Emperor NAPOLEON honours with his deepest hate. Colonel PALLAVICINO obeyed his orders and fulfilled his duty like a loyal soldier, and deserves the pity of his countrymen. Nor can CIALDINI or LA MARMORA be blamed for the melancholy issue of a conflict they had not provoked. If indeed for the one or for the other the glory of GARIBALDI was de trop, this is not the time to search out a miserable spite. Let them, too, receive the praises of their government, and the pity of their countrymen. The worst retribution their worst ene mies can wish them is a decoration, or even a com plimentary message from the Tuileries. Wesincerely hope they may be spared that indignity. As for M. ' Rarrazzi, the difficulty of whose position we are far from misconceiving, he has added one more, and perhaps a final, shadow to a public life on which the clouds of national disaster lay thick already. His friends assure us that he is neither a dupe nor an instrument, but a victim of extreme per sonal devotedness and of a supple slyness that7is no match for a colossal MACAIRE. VICTOR EM MANUEL himself, we are persuaded, will lament to his dying hour the victory of Aspromonte. Italians !—My programme is always the same. So fez as it depends on me I desire that the plebiscite of the 21st of October, 1860, may be a reality—that the compact entered into between the people and the King may receive full exe cution. I bow before the majesty of Victor Emmanuel, King elect of the nation. Bat lam hostile to a ministry which has nothing Italian but the name—to a ministry which, to please diplomacy, ordered in May last the arrests and the prosecutions of Bernice, as it now provokes civil war in the south to keep in the good graces of the Emperor Napoleon. Such a ministry cannot, must not, be supported. It deceives the King ; it compromises him as it did in the pro clamation of the 3rd instant, by its obstinate mu nicipalism ; it drives the southern provinces to separa tion ; it deceives the country. The livery of • foreign master shall never be a title of honour and esteem for any ministry of ours. When I touched the shores of Sicily, that generous island was on the point of breaking out in despair. The Neapolitan province', everyone knows, could only be kept down by an overwhelming military force. Love and good adminis tration ought to found the unity of Italy. The mould pasta have preferred the opposite way—they have sown hatred and largely have they reaped it. Madmen ! they wish —I know it—for civil war, that they may more essay stifle in blood the future of liberty and immolate coveted victims upon the altar of despotism. For my part I will not allow these guilty designs to bo executed. Let the formula of the plebiscite again save Italy ; let all local prejudice disappear in the presence of the great idea of unity. Let all the hearts and minds of the Italian people combine that we may arrive at the great endof our resurrection. Let the thought and action of all patriots be exclusively directed to the liberating en terprise of Rome. The rest later. Some undone widow sits upon my arm, And takes away the use on 't. GARIBALDI undone, and asking only leave to shake the dust of the land he delivered off his toilworn feet, will " take away the use " of that royal—too royal—soldier's arm. Let us pity a King who has lost such a friend, such a champion, such a servant, as the captured, wounded, and defeated GARI BALDI. Between the KING and the Revolution there remains now no reconciler. Between the unity of Italy and the House of SAVOY no loyal mediator. GARIBALDI is gone, and what remains behind ? " See," the Mazzinians will say, " what " becomes of a republican who trusts and serves " a King." But it is not on General LA MARMORA, Or M. RATTAZZI, or King VICTOR EMMANUEL, that the eclipse of this "vile conquest" of Aspromonte should fall. Let it burn like fire into the hearts of all Italians, that it was by the express orders of the Emperor NAPOLEON that GARIBALDI was attacked ; and that it is to ap pease that mysterious benefactor of Italy that GARIBALDI now lies a shattered prisoner at Spezzia. One word from the Emperor NAPOLEON a week ago bad saved this bloodshed : and that word not only was not spoken, but from the camp of Chalons came a missive of despair to Italy. The Emperor NAPOLEON is directly and personally responsible for this immense misfortune at Aspro monte—not the French nation, nor even the French army. In this respect, at least, the defeat of GARIBALDI by Italian troops is fortunate, since it leaves no flimsy pretext of " military honour" for the occupation of Rome by a foreign garrison. To Rome, then, to Rome : Rise, valiant heroes of 1848 and 1849 ! Come, ardent youth of 1359 and 1860! Hasten to the holy crusade ! We shall be victorious ; for we have with ua reason, national law, and the universal conscience, Our revolution has awakened great hopes in the world ; we must justify them more and more. I am sure the Italian people will not fail in their duty. May it please God that our valorous army may be with us also! If I have done anything for the country, believe my words. lam resolved to enter Rome a conqueror or to perish under its walls. But if I die I Kin persuaded that you will worthily avenge my death, and will finish my work. Long lire Italy !—Hail to Victor Emmanuel at the Capitol ! G. GAIIIBALDL General surprise has been caused at Turin by the arrest at Naples of M. Pulski, the distin guished Hungarian who has been so long domiciled in England. M. Pulski was with Garibaldi, but simply, it appears, in the capacity of correspondent of an English daily journal. THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE ITALIAN CRISIS. The whole liberal press of France—the Journal des Debots, the Prase, the &Me, the Temps, and the Opinion Nationale—of this morning unite in an emphatic declaration that there is now not the vestige of an excuse for the continued occu pation of Rome by the French army. The DAats points out that the Meniteur has clearly asserted that the French remained at Rome solely in response to insolent threats. The Italian government has, it says, now silenced those menaces and so removed the alleged motive. The Prase thinks that the emotion mused by the event of Aspromoute ought to console Italy for its heavy affliction. " Instinctively public opinion every where has understood that this doleful victory of public law over misguided patriotism announces the end of the occupation of Rome, and all the journals have expressed in nearly the same terms this profound and universal conviction. To demand of Italy more than it has done in the last month is to ask of it the sacrifice of its life, of its future ; it is to require the impossible. The government cannot wish to put such a price on its protection ; it cannot desire that its friendship should impose upon the Italians sacrifices that they would scarcely submit to from a victorious enemy, and after the greatest disasters." The Indfpendance Belge observes that the ques tion will at once be discussed in the Emperor's councils, and assumes that it is the occasion of the extraordinary meeting of ministers at St. Cloud to- day. The same paper observes that this feat of arms has entailed an immense responsibility upon M. Ratter.= "Garibaldi acted against the law, but most assuredly in accordance with the Italian sentiment. It is that which constituted his strength. Garibaldi vanquished, this sentiment exists none the less, and if all satisfaction • I ra refused to it we fear that in a short time it will demonstrate itself in a way yet more serious than that which Garibaldi, in the paroxysm of his pa triotism, followed. The victory at Aspromonte will not be complete until in return the Turin cabinet can offer to Italy the solution of the Roman question." The Nord thinks that the moral support of Russia will be given to the Italian government iu seeking to obtain by diplomatic means the evacuation of Rome by the French troops. (armee Triscaux.) SYRIA. PARIS, Sim 1. The Paria papers publish the following telegram, dated " Alexandria, August 31. "Syria is tranquil, and the Druses pay the taxes. "In the Hauran, however, agitation prevails, and conflicts have taken place betweeu some of the leading chiefs." The King of Prussia has gone for a few days, with a considerable suite, to the seabath of Doberan, in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg.Schwerin. Count Berostorff accompanies him. liis Majesty is expected back in Berlin on the 6th. A letter from Limleufela of the 27th ult. says : " An entirely unexpected pleasure happened to us to-day. Prince Louis with bin royal consort (the Princess Alice) ar rived here from the princely retreat at Auerbach, where they have been residing for some time. Their royal high nesses, who arrived about noon, visited the ruins of the castle, and enjoyed for some time the delightful panorama of scenery around them. The officials and the chief burgo. master had the honour to receive their royal highnesses, and the opportunity to admire their condescension and courteous amiability. The princely pair were conducted by the au thorities to the castle and through the garden. As their royal highnesses left there was e. brilliant show of nags in the national colours, and a salvo a artillery was fired." The National Zeitung prints an interesting letter recounting the exploit' of the London Alpine Club during the last two weeks of July. The club has, so far, been very successful this year. Its operations have been mostly con fined to the mountains about Grindalwald. Three peaks, that had never before been trodden by human foot, have just been ascended by different parties of Englishmen, via, Jungmujoch, on the 20th of July, by five Englishmen ; Visacherbore, on the 73rd, by two Engl i shmen ; and Vies cherjoch, on the 30th, by four Englishmen. In addition to these ascent; a great many mountains which have only been ' amended two or three times were also visited by the same gentlemen during the same period. Among theme were the Jungfrau, Eicher, the Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn, and several others equally formidable. NAVAL AND MThMARY. PORTSMOUTH, Amon 31. FORTIFICATIONS ON PORTSDOWN-HILL. —THE DIS PUTED GOVRENNINT VALUATION. —The court appointed to MOOS the value of the property belonging to Thomas Thietlethwayte, Esq., of Southwick•park, but which has been appropriated by her Majesty's government, under the provisions of the Lands Clauses Consolidated Act, 1848, and the Defence Act, 1860, for the erection of fortifications thereupon, for the defence of Portsmouth Dockyard and Arsenal. fermi .ated its sittings on Friday evening. The land in question is situate in the parishes of Wymering, Widley, Southwick, Portcheeter, and Boarhunt. Is appears that owing to the magnitude of the interests involved, the government did not fix any specific value, but left it to a jury to determine the amount of com pensation to be paid to Mr. Thistlethwayte. The witnesses examined by Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., and Mr. J. J. Johnson, were the following well known estate agents and valuers : Mr. Charles Pink, Mr. Stine, of Bristol, Mr. E. P. Squarely, Mr. Giles Westbury, Mr. J. Matthews, Mr. Driver, Mr. C. Bovill Smith, of Fortes'', Mr. F. Chinnock (Chinnock and Galaworthy, London), and Mr. Fuller, of London. The estimates were timed on the value of the land absolutely taken, the clearance righte to be exer cised by the government, theconsequentinl depreciation of the prorty remaioing to the claimant, and the value of the timber to be removed. The highest estimate was that of Mr. C. B. Smith, and amounted in the aggregate to 107,0941. and the lowest that of Mr. &urge, which amounted to a gross total of 100,803/. After these wit nesses had been examined and cram-examined upon various points of detail, Mr. Lloyd summed up, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Hansen), replied on the whole cam on the part of the crown, contending that the estimates were excessive. He did not, however, call any witnesses, and the assessor, Mr. Montagu Smith, Q.C., having summed up, the jury retired to consider their verdict. After two hours, deliberation the jury awarded to Mr. Thistlethwayte the sum of 95,2001. The Black Prince, 40, iron screw frigate, Captain James F. B. Wainwright, resumed her trials at the measured mile in Stoke's Bay, yesterday. Since the last trial she has been docked and her bottom thoroughly cleaned, being found very foul in places. Additional weights were also placed upon her valves, so that her speed might be tested, as far es possible, under the same conditions upon which the , Warrior made her official trial. The result was an accele ration of s'peed, the mean realised at toll power being 13 knots and one-third. Under these altered circum stances, however, the Black Prince has not proved herself to be so fast a vessel as the Warrior, which obtained upwards of 14 knots when she ran the measured mile. The trial was conducted under the superintendence of Captain Broad head, commanding the steam reserve; Mr. Murray, chief engineer of the dockyard ; Mr. Craddock, master ship wright; Mr. Murdock, inspector of machinery afloat ; and Mr. Ward. The Black Prince will try her speed at half boiler power to-morrow, if the weather be favourable, and after swinging for the adjustment of her compasses, will proooeed to sea for a cruise. The Psyche, new paddle vessel, Master Commanding J. E. Pettey, sailed yesterday afternoon for the eastward, to ac company the royal squadron to Antw erp The Rhadamanthus, 4, steam vessel, Master Commander F. R.

A convenient platform, stage, has been erected for the purposes of the embar kation, which will take place in the presence of the Lord Chamberlain, Viscount Sydney, Lord Lieutenant of Kent, Major-General Sir Richard Decree, Commandant at Wool wich ; and a limited number of military and naval racer; including Commodore Sir W. F. E. Nicholson, &c. The Fairy steam-vessel will convey her Majesty to Oreenbitbe. where the royal party will embark on board the Royal Yacht and the Osborne. The journals which are dedicated to agricultural and commercial interest► give full reports of the completed grain harvest in France. In some districts the general re sults were below average, but in others abundant crops were got in. It results on the whole that the harvest of 1.962 may be considered that of an average year—that is to my, ►bout 93,000,000 of hectolitres, or nearly the annual con sumption of France. Knowing that we must still expect • certain amount of distress in the manufacturing districts this winter, the results of the harvest are most acceptable. The wine crop is also expected to be more than that of an average year. The Gazette de rEtoile of Berlin says it has re eeived from Warsaw intelligence that on the 24th of August an attempt was made against the life of Count Wielopolski, by mean, of an anonymous poisoned letter. The letter was written, it is stated, in very small characters, in order that the count, who is very near-sighted, might be obliged to hold it near his face to read it, and might thus breathe the poisoned exhalations from it. The symptoms of poisoning soon mani fested themselves, both in the count and in those who ex amined the writing ! During the last fortnight only half, or even a less proportion, of the onlinary number of omnibuses have run along several of the routes in Berlin. This fact is owing to ► dangerous disease which has broken out among the horses, and caused the death of a considerable number. It is known as the Florentine disease, and when once an animal is affected by it he seldom recovers. The same cause has somewhat diminished the number of droschkies or cabs at the service of the public, and has produced con siderable loss to the poor cab drivers. M. Pierre Alfred Sirven, author of a pamphlet entitled "Let Us Return to the Gospel," M. Moron, a book. seller. and M. Noise Cerf, printer, were tried on Tuesday before the police court of Versailles, for having insulted the ministers of a religion legally recognised by the French go verumeut, and fur having excited hatred and contempt against the government and among citizens. M. Sirveo has been sentenced to imprisonment for two months,and to pay a fine of 500 fr., and the bookseller to pay a fine of :100fr. The printer was acquitted. RESIGNATION OF MR. STEUART, M.P. FOR CAMBRIDGE. On Friday afternoon last, letters were received in Cambridge by the &grate of both the liberal and conserve. tire parties from Mr. Steuart, stating that in consequence of private matters he had resolved to withdraw from the re presentation, and with that view had applied in the proper quarter, in order to nudge his seat, In his letter to Mr. r. Cockerell (clerk of the peace for the borough, and agent for the liberals) Mr. Steuart says that be writes to that gentle man. as well u Mr. Barlow (agent for the conservatives), in a spirit of fairness, in order to give neither side an advantage. Mr. Steuart adds that his regret at the necessity of this step is materially lessened by the feeling he has that under no cir cumstances could he continue to represent the views, or in voting fulfil the, perhaps, just expectations of many of bis warmest friends in a political sense. lie most thoroughly and sincerely disapproves of the extreme line on church matters taken up by so many of the conservative party. He considers in this view the influence of Mr. Disraeli most pernicious, and the prevailing high church opinions to which the bulk and action of the conservative party are so much committed utterly at variance with pound policy. In short, when the Pope and his adherents consider the most de sirable object the overthrow of the present govern. meet, it is, in his conscientious new, the duty of a sound protestant conservative to support it. He adds that he oeed hardly say, therefore, that he should be glad to hear of a gentleman of political views of the stamp of Colonel Adair or Mr. Twisleton being his successor. Colonel Adair was formerly member for Cambridge, and both he and Mr. Twisleton contested the seat with Mr. Steuart in the liberal interest, so that Mr. Steuart's recommendation of these gentlemen has created no small surprise amongst a his late supporters. Mr. Steuart was first retun.ed for Cambridge in April, 1857, and again in 1859. On the first occasion he headed Colonel Adair by 6 votes only, and a scrutiny washed on behalf of the gallant colonel, which, however, left Mr. Steuart in possession of the seat. Mr. Steuart at various times expressed himself as a liberal comervative, opposed to Mayoooth and the ballot, but in favour of gradual reform, education on • broad re ligious basis, and an adjustment of the religious question. The retiring member is a deputy lieutenant of Banffshire. On Saturday evening • meeting of the more influential membees of the various sections of the liberal party was held at the Hoop hotel. Mr. Patrick Beale* occupied the chair, and it was then cordially agreed that all the differences lately existing, and to which the recent defeat of the party were attributed, should be merged in the common cause, and re. ' solutions were unanimously passed to the effect that Colonel , Adair should be invited to come forward. A reply in the affirmative from Mr. Adele (who is at present in Soot. land) is sanfidently anticipated. Mr. Adair, who is au advanced liberal, is colonel of the East Suffolk Artillery, and has his seat at Miami Hall, Norfolk. Mr. Bellow, agent for the comet vatives, annouoces that the battle will be fought on their side with every confidence of victory, and that a fitting candidate will be announced in due time, and adds that the only difficulty on the eon- 'creative side is not the want of a candidate, but of selection amongst the aspirants. Mr. Beresford Hope has for some I time been looked upon as the favoured of the conservatives on the withdrawal of Mr. Steuart, Red the latter gentle man's retirement when Mr. Hope his Stoke-upon-Trent upon his hands is looked upon as ill-timed. Rumour DOW makes free with the name of Mr. Vansittart, of Trinity College. Be the candidates whom they may, there will be plenty of time for preparation, as the writ cannot be issued until the assemble of parliament, clause 4 of the " Election of Members during the Hecate Act, 1858," declaring that the clause giving authority to Mr. Speaker to issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out • new writ shall not apply to vacancies caused by the ac ceptance by members of the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, or any crown manor. The state of the register and other circumstances leave but little doubt of the succms of the liberals, and the manner of Mr. Steuart's retirement is looked upon ma severe blow to the conservatives. Archbishop Hughes, on his first public appear ance since his return from Europe, preached • political &mon in St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York, to the largest congregation that ever assembled within the walls of that edifice—a sermon which, if it had been delivered anywhere else than in the pulpit, would have been called a speech, in which he urged the vigorous prosecution of the war, and counselled the government to draught not only the 300,000 men already to be called out, but an additional 300,000 the week after, and to continue draughting until *very man, rich or poor, should be compelled to take his share in the contest. He urged this on the plea of mercy, that the war might be brought more speedily to a close, and added :—" If the country and the government are not mainaized by every sacrifice that is necessary to maintain them the United States will become another Poland, to be divided—the strife will multiply across every border. Every state or section will claim to be independent, and I DEMONSTRATION OF FORESTERS AT THE CRYSTAL make itself an easy prey to those who will tura and appro.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor ova omit PARIS, SUNDAY Erianago. With respect to individual opinion, I find among the friends of Italian unity a disposition to adopt the theory started by a morning oontemporary of your's already before the capture of Garibaldi was known, that the Italian army is now, by reason of its opposition to the insurrection, literally engaged in the defence of the Pope. It seems to be thought that this fact, foreshadowed by the Morning Post, will be one of those henceforth urged by Lord Palmerston's government upon the govern ment of the Tuileries in its advocacy of a speedy settlement of the Roman question. I much fear that to this as to any other arguments the Emperor will still continue to turn a deaf ear ; but even should he think fit to use this particular argument at the Vatican, he, in common with all the world, knows beforehand that the Pope has his answer ready. He neither needs nor will accept the aid of Victor Emmanuel's army. Victor Emmanuel is an excom municated and anathematised sovereign, accursed of God, in rebellion against Holy Mother Church, and in league with Satan. Let Victor Emmanuel and all his allies go to Tophet Non possumns ! It is no secret that the Pope has already informed the Emperor of his intention to embark with all his cardinals on board a Spanish frigate, in the event of a " mixed occupation" being decided upon. The reports now rife of a change of ministry here all tend in the direction of a retrograde policy. MM. Persigny, Thouvenel, and Fould are to give place (so run the reports) to men of notoriou .ly anti-Italian views. I must say, however, that I attribute no weight whatever to these reports. I believe they are mere canards—straws thrown up by the party which inspires the France, to ascer tain how the wind sets in high places. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MONDAT. sawrisuin I. I A.N. THE COTTON SUPPLY. At a meeting of the directors of the nla•gow Chamber of Commerce last week, the following manorial to Lord Palmerston, on the subject of a royal comniislioe upon cotton, was adopted : '• That in consequence of the blockade of the southern porta of the United States of America, who, i,,,, cow existed for more thau a year, and the comequ.nt obstruc tion of the cotton supply, the prospenty lons disti Ma of this country, in which the nianufacture of cotton is carried on, has been most seriouuly affeded, a n d the distress and suffering now existing in lenciuibire Lod elsewhere is a source of the deepest anxiety and alarm. That from the determination shown by both parties to the eintest, there is reason to fear that the civil war in America may be continued for a very considerable period of time, and even when the war shall terminate it seeing un. reasonable to hope that the Southern States can *kilo, or at least until a considerable period shall have elapsed, re sume their supply of cotton to anything like the extent of their former pniduction. That the quantity of cotton re. quired for the consumption of Europe and the Eastern States of America is upwards of 5,000,000 of bales annually, of which the Southern States have been in use to supply 4,000,000 of bales, and that consequently, without extraor dinary efforts, it is unreasonable to expect speedy or effec tual relief in the unfortunate crisis at which the cotton manu facture would seem to have arrived. That various schemes have been suggested for procuring a supply of cotton, ade quate in quantity, and adapted to the requirements of British manufacture, from other portions of the globe, as from India, Australia, the West ladies, Africa, ite., many of which merit careful sod impartial consideration. That apart altogether from the existing state of matters in this country, which calls so loudly for relief, the possible opening up of a great field of production to our colonies and to our home trade offers a most important subject for investigation. That while the schemes and suggestions above referred to are numerous and important, the want of some qualified and responsible party to consider and report as to th e i r practicability am: comparative value is generally felt and expressed. That the appointment of a royal commis,o, n appears to the memorialists the most effectual mode for hav ing the whole question of cotton supply—in which the wel fare and interests of the country and its dependencies ore go intimately bound up—fully and impartially considered, and satisfactorily dealt with. That such an appointment endd further be attended with must beneficial results, iossmaJt as it would prove to those large classesof the community who are suffering under the existing depression and staguation of trade, that the causes in which their sufferings have on ginated were being carefully and authoritatively inquired into, and that the talent and energies of the countq being directed to their alleviation and ultimate removal."

BLACKIIVEN MANOFACTURERM AND THE RIAJET FUND.—A letter from Blackburn says The total amount of the subscription list for Blackburn is 9,0371. ; 3,5974 is local, 1,9101. general ; 2,3001. has been seat by the Lord Mayor, &Xi. from the Manchester committee, and 6C31. as a special fund to be devoted to the employment of labour in the grounds about the workhouse. Of the pro. pietas of the 91 mills of Blackburn I can only find 19 that have yet subscribed, and the united eontributioas al the 19 amount to just over 7001. The highest sum which appears oppoaite to any name is 1001., and there are very few of these. Among the subscribers are gentlemen of enormous wealth, all made out of the trade and carrying on most extensive concerns. Ooe gentleman who gives 100/. is assessed to the poor.rate at 3,31:0/. ; another, who has only given 501., has been heard to boast that he had made 200,0001. in a single year. With regard to a third, who also gives 1001., it came out in evidence on a trial that be had made 170,000/. in about a couple of years; and a fourth, who employ. 1,50 bands, and whose poor. rate amassment is over 2,5001., contents himself with giving 50/. Among those conspicuous by their absence there are also some large concerns, and, what is worse, many of them stopped the moment there was the least threatening of danger." THE OPERATIVES' WIVES. — We have a kind of fondness for these matrons, who have fought through many difficulties in life, and still retain an amiable temper. They are pleasant company for a tea minutes' chat. Thew freedom of speech in making known to you passing family ailments is occasionally startling. Their modes of expres- sion are sometime, very comical, even when the feeling that dictates the remark is a kindly one. Medical terms being mostly sesquipedalian, are invariably a stumbling.block to them. Oneold lady told us that her daughter had been " fair ape' th'skirke ere this algeria ' " a complaint which we had never met with in our medical reading, but which, from the dispel*, we found to be neuralgia. These " pathies," as they call our contending systems, are difficult for them to sur mount iu speech.

Now and then a neighbour dies of en "apperpler." One women, being asked if a doctor had attended her husband, replied, "No lad, he dee'd a nat'ral death," a remark, unconsciously per haps, not very complimen tary to the " pathies. , Conversely it is often difficult to give them a correct idea of the meaning of pro per names and long words. One Sunday evening, in the depth of winter, we were completely lust in Manchester through taking a wrong tarn, and at length found ourself in a part of the town more abundant in people than in wealth. We stopped an old woman, and asked her the way to the cathedral, a central point which, as we thought, might be familiar to both of us. " The maims !" she ex claimed ; and here let me record this straightforward property of our people—thoy will always direct you on your way with pleasure, and never wilfully mis lead you ; " the casino ! Here, Sally, Betty. his honour wants the casino ! " Now the casino Is satroely a place for a respectable gentleman to be !tell at, especially oti a Sunday evening ; so we protested vehemently against her interpretation of our words, repeating once at twice, "the cathedral ! the cathedral !" Still, the three persisted in making it the casino , and in witch* each passer.by where it was, till they bud gathered a crowd of some dozen dames around us, one saying that the casino was here, end a wood there, and a third in an entirely dif ferent direction, but all very anxious that we should find our way to the casino.—Froscr's Illaya:ine for Sept.
