HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. Mg DAY —Morning, lb. Ssm Afternoon, lb. . TO-MOBAoW—Morning Sh. 13m Afternoon, lb ris. LONDON ; MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. TVZ Italian Government has despatched a corps of ten thousand men to Palermo, under General CADORNA, one of the most distinguished officers of the old Piedmontese army, with orders to invest the city and to make prisoners of all the male factors who have raised the standard of revolt. It is to be regretted that the Cabinet of Florence had not acted on the information it received some weeks since, and thus prevented the scandal of the capital of Sicily being aLandoned to an in surrection for several days. The insurgents, it appears, have risen to the cry of "the Republic," but as all the leading men of the Republican party, and all sections of the Liberal party, repudiate and disavow any sympathy with these Palermitan rebels, and the Sicilian volunteers who lately served under GARIBALDI have even offered to waist in their repression and capture, it is tolerably certain that this movement in the single province of Palermo—for all the other provinces remain tranquil, and are sending addresses of loyalty to the governor—is one of reactionary, and probably of priestly, origin, and that the Republican flag is a mere piratical device to catch the sympathies of unwary partizans. The principal instigators of this disgraceful affair are, it seems, the monastic orders, who are about to be dispossessed by law of their establishments, and of the vast properties they hold in mortmain. At the time of GARIBALDI'S expedition the Sicilian clergy, who enjoy particular ecclesiastical privileges, showed a liberal spirit; but the law for the suppression of religious corpora tions has exasperated them against the Govern ment, and, having the example of the Court of Rome before their eyes, they have found no difficulty in composing an irregular army of the brigands and other lawless characters who always abound in the island, and of the fugitive recruits, of whom there are a considerable number, who take to bri gandage rather than obey the conscription, from which Sicily was exempt under the BOURBON go vernment. There can be no doubt that these combined forces of disorder will be speedily sup pressed by the activity and energy of General CADORNA, and that, although the absence of in formation from the island since the telegraphicwires were cut by the insurgents suggests a more alarming state of things than any that actually exists, the Government will seize this opportunity of laying its hands on a number of ruffians who have been too long left at large, and will be warned by the crisis to take summary and sufficient measures for reclaiming from something like barbarism an island that should be the brightest jewel in the crown of Italy. Tim sudden reaction in the money market which commenced with the reduction of the Bank rate of discount from 10 to 8 per cent. appears to have stopped for the present. Although the accounts continue to improve, and the Bank has at this moment a larger proportion of aaseis to liabilities than was the case a year ago when the rate stood at only 4 per cent., the directors are doubtless disinclined to take any further action until the question of the harvest shall have been settled one way or tho other. Although the un favourable weather has, there is too good reason to believe, seriously damaged a portion of the crops, the loss as usual is sure to be magnified, and may perhaps prove not so very important after all. It does not appear, at least, that we shall have to import corn on the enormous scale of 1846-7, or later of 1859, and such shipments as aro sent here will not necessarily be paid for in specie. The gap in our own supplies will, from all accounts, be chiefly filled by Russia. That country is habitually our debtor, and thus the corn that she sends will but serve to redress the balance. Exports of specie from London to St. Petersburg or Odessa are, therefore, to say the least, exceedingly unlikely. If the directors are hesi'aiting on this ground, their caution appears thrown away. Practically, however, it is of no particular consequence what their course of action may be. The Bank rate might be kept at 5 per cent. for an indefinite period, but it would not prevent money, if sufficiently abundant, from falling to 4 per cent., 3, or 24. We have already seen that this rule, infallible as it is when money is cheap, is reversed when money is dear. Let the official rate of discount be raised on adequate cause to more than 6 per cent., and the Bank regulates the whole monetary business of the country. Let it fall to sor 4 pe- cent., and the Bank has no more power than any other great financial establishment in the kingdom. While the bullion at the Bank of England has latterly been augmenting, at the Bank of France the last two weeks have shown a decrease. The financial distrust of the past six months has pro duced opposite results in London and Paris. In the latter city everybody seems to have been anxious to deposit his money where it would be in safest custody, and hence the bullion of the Bank of France kept on increasing week by week until it amounted to nearly thirty millions tt. THE .EXPRESS, MONDAY EVltttiNG, SEPTEMBER 24, 1866. sterling. No one seems i have thought for a reet moment that the positio s U s ' the Neared Bank could be endange converilldig of its notes was not pert or t iik might be com pelled to refuse all assistance to the trading coin .munitir. The case was far different here. Instead of people hastening to deposit money with the Bank, they borrowed as much as they could get, and persisted in hoarding notes and gold, although ready to admit in a general sense the folly of the practice. Whilst the so-called protective rate of 10 per cent. was maintained, the applications for disoonnt at the Bank were numerous and Incessant. Directly the protection is abandoned and the rate falls to 5 per cent., the discount business dwindles to nothing. At the Bank of France, on the other hand, as long as distrust prevailed there was little i demand for money ; now that confidence is re newed, the revival in trade is indicated by the in creased requirements for discounts. As far as this country is concerned there ap pears little reason to hope that commerce will for the next few months be as prosperous as in ordinary times. The internal demand for goods must necessarily be affected by the contingency of a partially deficient harvest following close upon the cattle plague. Secondly, the condition of labour is by no means satisfactory. All over the country we hear of strikes and lockouts in many branches of trade, and without giving an opinion for or against either masters or workmen there can be no question the. these various movements materially impair the purchasing power of the nation. In some districts, Cornwall in particular, an important industrial in terest has from the pressure of the times been almost annihilated. From this and other causes The Telegraph professes to be able to state that there is no truth in the report that the Holy Father has beau offered an asylum In Malta, or that he has any intention of leering Rome. emigration has deprived us of many workmen be longing to the moat valuable section of the com munity. As times improve the void will be gra dually replaced, but kg the moment the loss will be no leas felt. Abroad, prospects are not much brighter. A deficiency, not only in the harvest, but, equally important, the vintage, will affect our newly-created trade with France. Germany and Italy are, in consequence of the late war, not so materially prosperous as to require increased supplies of our goods. Turkey and Egypt are more or less directly hampered with the ever-reviving Eastern question, and the former especially has at least one insurrection on her hands, and the not remote prospect of many more. Our exports to that quarter are thus nut likely to materially augment. As regards the United States, the sudden revival in the commerce of the two countries on the cessation of the war just a year ago, has subsided into its ordinary channels. We may fairly count upon deriving a good profit from our general business with America, provided always that the present difference& should not ripen into a renewal of civil war. Turning to other transatlantic countries, the prospect is not very inviting. Mexico is disturbed by a revolu tion ; Brazil and her allies by an apparently interminable war ; Chili and Peru by the ap prehension of renewed attacks from Spain ; and the other South American States by their normal condition of chronic disorder. Altogether, if trade is maintained at its present point, we shall have abundant reason for congratulation. Leaving aside the possibility of a large export of specie for corn, which has already been show n to be extremely unlikely, the supply of capital in England promises to be in excess of the demand. The downward movement in the rate of discount may have been arrested for the time, but it is sure to recur within a longer or shorter interval. The sure reaction from 10 per cent. has been only half accomplished, and it becomes merely a ques tion of time wben it will be completed. Accord ing to all appearances the rate of discount will be down to four or three per cent., perhaps, before Vie end of the year. To judge by previous expe rience a long period of stagnation in trade will follow, uncheckered by any sort of enter prise. Speculation, however, is not subject to rules. A high rate of discount affects only traders, and the great mass of persona em barking in a speculative mania are not so much drawn from that class as from the middle classes generally. The events of the present year will prove, however, an effectual safeguard against a movement of this sort. Companies winding up, heavy calls, or, at the best, a serious depreciation in the price of shares, convey a better lesson than could be inculcated by hundreds of moralists. After the exciting times that we have lately gone through, a period of quiet will not be unac ceptable. It will, at all events, give an oppor tunity for calmly considering the effect of the cur rency laws in bringing about the crisis, and their influence in weakening British credit abroad. It is greatly to be regretted that both the late and the present Government have equally neglected to institute the commission of inquiry which is so much needed, and might with considerable advan tage be sitting now. The question, however, is only deferred until the meeting of Parliament, when there can be no doubt the who'e subject will by the unanimous voice of the nation have to be thoroughly examined.

The Garden Nationaux Mobiles will be commanded by officer of the army, and the recruit. will be taken to the depots of the regimerrsi of the line. These National Guards will be drilled during a certain number of days every year at the principal places of the canton or department. Such are, according to the Liberte, the bases pointed out in the imperial letter for the future organisation of the French army ; forming a compromise between the system actually in force and the Prussian system. TEI RIVOLT IN CANDLL Whatever the occasion of the above movement, the real cause, observes the Daily New, lies in the simple feet that a majority of Christiana, possessing almost entirely the wealth and intelligence of the country, will not con sent to be permanently subject to the rale of a handful of Mahotnmedans. The distance of the island from the con tinental possessions of Turkey has given the revolutionists time, ►nd reinforcements s:11 be difficult. Though the fact of the numbers makes it impossible to believe that the Christian population suffers under any severity of oppression. it equally shows that the two races stand in a radically false relation towards each other. A government ruling under these conditions, itself subject to the constant interference of the three treaty powers, each having its own policy in the East, has not in it a single element of permanence. Should the Candians succeed in maintain ing themselves against Turkish and Egyptian arms, it w ill be impossible to reduce them again under a yoke which they will have twice thrown off, and to refuse them an of which for more than a generation they have r ceased to demand. At present the kingdom of Greece is a political experiment which has no t answered, but when the quick intelligence of the people becomes directed to the development of the neglected material resources of the country, the Kingdom of Hells, will be the Piedmont of the Eastern peninsula. This prospect is not near, but it is far from impossible of realisa tion ; and it is not visionary to hope for its accomplishment. FRANC& AND WWI. The Times is unwilling to give weight to the re ports that have been spread as to the serious nature of the Emperor Napoleon's illness, but it is assured on very good authority that his medical advisers recommend pru dence, and warn him spina the " serious consequenoes" of any departure from their injunctions. His will is of such paramount weight that it is of great importance his judgment should be unbiassed by any subordinate influence, and the conflicting agencies at work striving to sway hi s resolutions, represented by the Empress and by Prince Napoleon, may not be so easily realised when the mental energies are borne down by bodily suffering. Should any sinister event remove the Emperor from his place o r slacken his activity, questions like that of Rome might re ceive a different solution from that which he might wish to THE PRUSSIAN TROOPS IN BERLIN. The German journals which have come to hand to-day contain numerous details respecting the triumphal entry of the troops. On receiving the crown of laurels from the young ladies who were deputed to present it, the King said : ig es avues, at my age we are doubly happy when we meet with a rz.ception like this from youth. I thank you for your kind words' and the crown, which I gladly accept. As you have others for th.l two princes, I beg you to en trust them to me, and I will pre'ent them as from you. His Majesty then took the two crowns and pre sented them to the royal prince and Prince Frederic Charles, who kissed his hand. When the troops defiled, and the company arrived in which Prince Antoine de Hohenzollern, who died of his wounds, held a command, the King approached Prince Hohenzollern, and silently pressed his hand. Similar scenes took place on the second day (Friday), when the King shook hands with several officers and soldiers. At the religious service, round the steps of the altar were ranged 104 ecclesiastics of vari various denominations, protestants, catholics, and Jews. The sermon was preached from the words "This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes." The preacher, the chaplain-general of the army, M. Thielen, dwelt upon the wonders which had been accomplished by the army and the valour of the venerable King. He spoke of the dead and the wounded, and offered consolation to their surviving relatives, calling upon all to be faithful to the King and the country. The concluding hymn was sung accompanied with a salvo of artillery, when the King, bowing his head to the clergy, left the I tent. The following is the menu of the dinner of 1,000 covers, which the city of Berlin gave to the King, the princes, generals, &c. : Real turtle. Hultres. Quartier de bceut 1 Phisto rigae ila finsnciere.

The Gazette de Cassel publishes the document, dated Stettin, Sept. 18, by which the Elector of Hesse releases the army functionaries and hie sub jects from their allegiance ;it concludes thus : The fate which has befallen me and my country makes me anxious to give • last testimony of my affection and solicitude for my brave troops, my civil servants, and my court, and also for all my dear sub jects. Prevented from exercising my sovereign rights, and from receiving from my subjects of every condition the duties which correspond to those rights, I release my faithful subjects in order to remove all scruples of con science on their part from the oath of allegiance which they have taken to my person, the troops from the oath to the flag, and the civil functionaries and those of the court from the oath of genic*. THE POLICY OF RUSSIA IN THE EAST. The Correspondence Busse, after questioning the disinterestedness of the Western States, and assert ing that of Russia, as to the Hellenic movement, promises the assistance of Russia to all the Christian populations of Turkey if they arc desirous of achieving their own enfranchisement : Those (it says) who know Russia know that we make no opposition to the realisation of this project, if it exists. We have often repeated, and we say still, that all terri torial acquisition is useless, and that our sole desire is the wellbeing, the liberty, of the populations which are allied to our country by blood and by religion. Our mission in the affairs of the East is sacred ; it consists in taking care that the independence of the populations shall be real, and shall not serve as the instrument of the ambition of one power. The action of Russia is free, and it is in that that she is distinguished. She is ready to say to her co religionists, " I am ready to aid you to the utmost extent of my power in your legitimate arpirations. If you are satisfied with your condition Russia is content ; but if sooner or later you believe you have been deceived in your expectations you will find always in me a support strong and sincere." The Matte of Vienna, discussing the same topic, urges the revision of the treaty of Paris as the only way of meeting the danger. It insists that the obstacles to the development of the maritime power of Russia in the Black Sea should be re moved, and that the provinces in which the Christian population are in the great ma jority should be formed into a sort of Con federation under the suzerainty of the Porte, to whom it should pay a certain tribute, the popu lations enjoying complete self-government.

The Herald is amused by the various excuses which the parliamentary representatives of the Yorkshire liberals make for their intended absence from the reform de monstration at Woodhouse Moor, and sums up by saying whatever else may be "demonstrated" on Woodhouse Moor, we have already ►bundant reason for concluding that nothing is, or will be, more apparent than the reluc tance, even of those who ars constrained by fear of a pos sible defection from the ranks of their supporters, to pro fess a sympathy with • movement they at heart dislike, and from which they take every possible opportunity of dissociating themselves. The Post declares a conspicuous feature in the demon strations to be the absence of spontaneity. They are got up sari :tanked with remarkable assiduity. The radicals have made agitation a s,ence.

The Tdegraph hails to.day's proceed;ngs at Manchester as important for the promise which they give, that there will speedily be a friendly and potent co-operation among the leading sections of reformers, and such a co-operation win be the herald of victory. The best measure at present is that which happens to be the most practicable ; and, in any event, a really mound and good plan, even though mo. derate, will be the most fitting preparative for that further progress which every improvement of our constitution has initiated. MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. The Times states, expressing only a faint objection there to, the nature of the defence which the Achbiahop of Dublin has made in his last charge, of the Irish church establishment, expressing concurrence with his grace that antagonism to it is not so strongly felt in Ireland as among English liberals. But though the Irish church may not be a practical burden, some adjustment of its position would nevertheless be felt as an act of conciliatory policy. The Star, on the same subject, says it hoped for better things from one whose intelligence has hitherto been as conspicuous as his piety, and who has mixed with men at least enough to know when be is exposing himself to lay contempt by saying what none but a clergyman could eay. Re is content to defend the grossest standing injustice of modem government on grounds wholly untenable, and his name must be added to the lengthy roll of distinguished men who lay aside thei- aermen in order to support a vicious ecclesiastical system. The Daily News, premising that the petition which the deputation from Nova Scotia have with them against the federal union of the colony with Canada is a more faithful expression of colonial opinion than the vote of the coloniallegislature, proceeds to describe the principal state ments which are urged in objection to the proposed union. It seems evident that Nova Scotia would sustain heavy losses at every point, and could only be reconciled to them by the hope and prospect of some counterbalancing ad. vantages tobederived either to themselves or to the mother country ; whereas they mainta'n that in every respect both the mother-country and they would be the worse for the change. The statements by which they support that assertion deserve, says the DailyNetas, thefullest examina tion. The Post and the Telegraplo discuss American polities from the side which they have always taken, namely, that of the Confederate or Southern section. The Post can even see a reaction in favour of the South within the ' last twelve months, adding, however, that no one is in • position to estimate the extent to which such reaction has gone or its probable results. The Telegraph allows that the statement of increased majorities in favour of the con gressional party has an appearance unfavourable to Mr. John son. It thinks that there is some plausibility in the position that the President cannot continue to treat the Congess as now constituted, as vested with legal power, and fears it must be admitted with profound regret that the probabi lities of a renewed appeal to arms in the United States are not so remote as we in this country sincerely desire. The Star states that the insurance companies, both metropobtan and provincial, have almost unanimously agreed that the current premiums on the insurance of goods against fire are not sufficient compensation for the serious risk it involves. They have, therefore, decided to make some advance upon the present rates, and they are now considering what this advance shall be. Besides this, it is alleged that they are taking more care to let it be under. stood in all cases that they will only replace destroyed goods when their value does not exceed the amount in sured, and that in the event of the then value being below the insurance they will only repay the market value. the Court.

OPRON ova OWN 001 PARIS, SUNDAY EVZSTNO. Whether it be true or not that an Imperial letter treating of the re-organisation of the army is shortly to appear in the Moniteur, it is certain that long inquiries will be made before the adoption of any definitive plan. The matter is referred to the consideration of several military departments and officers of rank who will make reports to the Em peror and give their reasons. Two different systems are said to be under consideration. One which, if the Emperor still entertain the opinions expressed in a letter written by him to the Pas de Calais some years ago, and lately reproduced in the Paris press,must be personally leant to by him, is something analogous to the Prussian landwehr system, but with the difference that the obliga tion of military service would apply only to men between the ages of 20 and 30. The number of men of this category in France is estimated at three millions. A reserve of 600,000 men of this class would be formed liable to be called out when ever wanted, but in the meantime allowed to marry and follow their ordinary pursuits. The regular army would all the while remain at about the present figure. The other system contemplates a very large addition to the regular army ; but by way of compensation the period of service would be reduced from seven years to five and three years. Although these feelers are thrown out I believe the entire question to be sub judice, and if, as there is every reason to believe, the Empe ror's policy is sincerely pacific, it is reasonable to hope that when the present excitement caused by the aggrandisement of Prussia shall have passed away he will contrite to put off any large augment ation of the army to the Greek Kalends. The ironclad squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral le Roncibre le Noury, consisting of the Magenta, Heroine, Magnanime, and Forban, has received sailing orders, and, according to re port, is to proceed to Biarritz. There is some idea of the Emperor, Empress, and Prince Imperial making a cruise with the squadron on board the Forban. The King of Prussia has conferred the Order of the Grand Cross of Louisa upon the Duchess de Mouchy. The rain of which I spoke yesterday continues to-day. The most optimist writers on the vintage offer no more consolatory remark than 1866 will not be so bad as 1816 ; they go back to 1814 and 1792 to find more exact parallels. The common impression that the new Opera House will be finished in time to receive the visi tors to the Exhibition next year is incorrect. At most the scaffolding will be taken down in 1867, and the four facades shown in • nearly perfect state, but the interior will not be ready for per formances till 1870. The Prussians, while staying in an enemy's country and at some one else's expense, show no sort of disposition to stint themselves. The little town of Aschaffenbing has just had the gratification of paying the following " little bills :"—For the dinners of General Vogel von Falkenstein, on the 15th and 16th of July, 1,2748. 24kr. ; for those of General von Manteuffel, on the 16th, 17th, 18th, 12th, and 20th, 1,41213.. 6kr.; for General von Flies, on the 20th and 21st, 2098. 15kr. ; and General Manteuffel again on his return, for two dinners, 48:21. 271 m, tasking a total, for the honour of feeding these Prussian generals for a week, of 3,4658. (7,426 fr.), or an average of above 700 fr. each dinner. General Vogel von Falkenstein has, in consequence of his exactions, received the nickname of " Der Raub Vogel"—the bird of Prey. The following telegrams have been received from Newfoundland:—" Saturday, 3 p.m. Newfoundland lines still interrupted. No sign of rain clearing off." " Sun day, 1.20 ►m. Newfoundland lines still interrupted, Weather heavy. Cables perfect." A subsequent message received last night announces that the rain and bad weather of the last two or three days and the gale of last night had culminated in a perfect hurricane; that severa l poles between Heart's Content and Harbour Grace hav e been blown down; and that it is feared it will take two days to repair the damage done. The storm, however, has in no way affected the Atlantic cables. which remain in perfect working order. It will be seen by a telegram elsewhere that the Antibes legion has arrived at Rome. It appears that they are to be entertained by the Pontifical troops, but that the club of the French officers has refused by 58 votes against 2 to admit them. A commission from the Board of Trade will visit Liverpool on Tuesday, to take es :dense respecting the lighting, and buoying, and introduction d fog-signah in the channel with the °Meet if preventing the nu merous wrecks which have takes place, especially on the Irish coast. - -- THE 87.
