IT is understood that the Bishops are consulting about a combined movement by which the whole country will be appealed to at once on behalf of the sufferers in Lancashire. All the churches in England and Wales, it is said, are to be opened on the same day for service and collections in aid of the Lancashire operatives on the approach of winter. This intention on the part of the clergy offers the right opportunity for a few words of plain truth about the way in which the great ca lamity is met, and ought to be met, by the country at large. We shall say what we know, and what many or most people think who can be said to think on the subject ; and no one whose honest interest is in the relief of the sufferers will take amiss what we say. As far as we know, nobody is satisfied with what is done. There are multitudes who skim the sub scription lists with admiration, other multitudes who only look at the sum totals, and others still who suppose that Parliament did what was proper before it separated ; but we do not call this being satisfied with what is done for Lancashire. There can be no satisfaction short of knowing that the people there are so fed, clothed, and warmed, as to keep up their health ; and so treated as to keep up their spirits. This has not been done yet, during the finest weeks of a sunny autumn ; and now that the dreary equinoctial weather has brought winter into full view, we are all asking what state Lancashire will be in by Christmas if we do not extend and improve our dealing with the distress. Here is a national calamity, more like the famines and plagues of the middle ages than any modern experience of distress. Here is a popu lation—a special class of four millions of people— actually destitute, whom it is the business (and ought to be the pleasure) of the nation to early on to better times in good health and heart. Here is a nation as generous as any in the world, and accustomed to give very largely to starving people in Ireland, in India, and to French, and Dutch, and Swiss sufferers from flood or fire. Here is a country full of wealth, rich enough to meet any temporary pressure on its resources. Here are hundreds of good men and women ready and willing to help in relieving the sufferers, and, no doubt, thousands "waiting to help," as one of them signed himself in a letter to us last Saturday. Here are all the means. Why is the thing not done ? The general misgiving is that nothing adequate to the need will be done unless some of the best organizing heads in the country will go to work to organize these means into a comprehensive and all-pervading system of collec tion and administration. Before they prepare their sermons for the Relief services, let the clergy consider what our churches do from year to year. No difficulty is found in raising 100,0001. for missions, or other objects of pious charity. Let them consider how munificent have been the subscriptions for various cases of suffering between the year of the potato rot and the present. All our experience goes to show that if all Lancashire is not carried well through the winter, it will be the fault of those of us who fail to obtain and administer means which are ready to our hands. The conditions of the cue are plain enough. The numbers of the destitute are published very frequently, and ample notice is given of the increase to be expected. Well, each of that great number must receive the money's worth of two shillings a week at the least while the distress lasts. To meet this so much per week must be contri buted by the country at large ; for nobody now supposes the Lancashire ratepayers can do it. The country is able and willing : it only wants to know how to do it. If it could not be done otherwise, the thing must be done through Parliament ; but nobody says this ; nobody can possibly think it, in the face of the generous gifts which are hourly offered by high and low, old and young, rich and poor. But, if the relief is to be voluntary, it must be as systemati cally secured and administered as if by enactment. Where are the born-legislators, the organizers who might carry our Lancashire sufferers through as Dr. ALEXANDER and Miss NICHTINOALL carried the sick and wounded through the last winter in the Crimea! Let us find them ; and let them show us methods of accomplishing public works, methods of feeding, clothing, warming, and employing the greatest number in the most effectual way. Let ns have a channel for emigration provided, if it seems good ; let us have some public works that are actually needed ; let us be told whether the mills cannot or ought not to be set to work as the cotton comes in ; let us be satisfied that the ad ministration of food is the best known for sustain ing health and cheerfulness, which is always the beat economy. This organization would naturally follow upon a properly organized levy of the means. At pre sent the state of things is this. Thousands of kindhearted people send money to some collector or other; and thousands more have no clear idea where and how to send. Wherever there happens to be an energetic and practical person to move THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1862. first, there are gentry who will g in beik or gold ; governesses, children, sermets, and work2' people give shillings and pence ; rd in an bateasing number of eases we observe that parties of work men and workwomen subscribe a portion of their weekly wages. All this is excellent, but it is very desultory. It depends on the accident of some wideawake and practical person being on the spot ; whereas this is the process which should be going on in every perish in the kingdom. If we may be permitted to offer a hint to the clergy who are about to devote a day to the great effort enjoined by their bishops, it would be this : There are two classes of minds remaining to be roused and guided. The one may be found everywhere, the other has a local habitation. Everywhere there are gentry, kindhearted, but indolent in habit and sluggish in imagination. These require stimulus. They should be pre sented with the imagery of Lancashire at this moment. They profess to be sorry for the suf ferers, and they may have given their bank notes of 51., 101., or 201. If told of plans for supply ing the sewing-schools and for collecting clothing, they propose to mention the subject to their acquaintance ; but they are doing nothing. Miss Courri is a fit text for an exhortation to these people. Not satisfied with signing cheques to a large amount, Miss Cocrrs has visited the dis tressed districts to see with her own eyes how the bounty may be best applied. How many would follow this example if their imaginations were roused to conceive of the actual case ! There are hundreds of opulent people childless, or without domestic engagements; if only twenty such couples were to go each to some Lancashire town, and there open a cook ing-kitchen, or a sewing -school, or an emi gration-office, or a plan for redeeming bedding and clothes from pawn, what a world of good trey might do ! If half the idle young ladies and gen tlemen were shown how they might work effec tively, either at home or on the spot, they would find themselves new creatures, as some fine gentle men of the London Clubs have done since they became working members of the Society for the Relief of Distress in London. Let the clergy ask these people—standing ready for a new object— what they would do in case of another Great Plague, or medieval famine, and show them that the present calamity is really on that vast scale ; and charity would be evoked of that kind which is twice blessed—blessed to those who give and those who take. The other class inhabits chiefly the agricultural counties of England. It is a fact that there are persons there—perhaps it includes the majority of the inhabitants—wbo have no clear idea what cotton is, where it comes from, what a dearth of it means, and what a factory population is like. In Lancashire, and among those who have for months been busy in the cause, this is scarcely credible ; but it is true. If the clergy will but inquire they will find that it is so. If they will but have the courage to adapt their appeal to th 4 s state of things they will effect more than they dream of. Let them not fear to descend for once to "common things." Let them relate the plain facts of the case, set it before the imagination of the humblest of their hearers, and they will be sure to rouse the most enlightened. In urging this we speak front a conviction and with a serious ness which no protestations could express. Let the clergy receive such hints as these with equal seriousness—let them look to it for themselves— let them give free scope to their reason and their feelings, and the condition of Lancashire will im prove from that coming day. The supreme aim should be to secure a regular flow of national revenue towards the distressed districts, distinctly covering the estimated need, and an administration of that revenue which she" sustain the industry, the health, and the self reapcct of every individual of those millions of innocent sufferers. It is the great opportunity of our time. It is the test of the national heart, judgment, and conscience. It is the crisis which involves the peace of mind of all the people of England of the present generation, and the national place in the history of the world wnich I will be reed through all time. Those who conceive the occasion to be anything less than this are behind their age, and unequal to their position in the world. gbe Court. 023011N8. Oar. 27. On Friday morning, the 24th, the Qaeen took ham of her illustrious uncle, the King of the BeLiles', wider whose hospitable roof her Majesty and the Royal Family had been detained by the violence of the ple until that day, sad embarked quite quietly, on board the royal yacht Victoria and Albert at Antwerp, at one o'clock. The yacht anchored for the night off Flushing, as it was aot thought advisable to expose her Majesty, in the state of the sea, to the fatigue of a night pump. The Victoria and Albert got again under weigh at half past nine o'clock upon the 25th. The intention of goingdirect to Osborne having been abandoned, in consequence of the weather again threatening to be stormy, the plunge was made to the river, and the royal yacht anchored at the Nora at six o'clock. During the night the gale increased very much in violence, and it was decided that her ldayeety and the Royal party should proceed in the Vivid from Greenhithe to Woolwich, the state of the tide not allowing the Victoria and Albert to proceed higher up the river. Her Majesty landed in strict privacy at the Royal Dock yard at half-past twelve o'clock, and proceeded, with the Royal Family and suite, in the royal carriages, which were in attendance, to the private station of the South Western Railway. Her Majesty arrived at Gosport at a Tauter past four o'clock, and immediately crossed in the Fairy, royal yacht, to Osborne. Her Majesty's health has not suffered from the trials and fatigues of the journey and voyage, but remains much the same. The Duke of Newcastle left town yeaterday for his 'eat Clumber•park, Notts. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, the Governors of Labium Malta, Gibraltar, Ceylon, and Hong Kong. Despatches were sent to the Governors of the Manritiva and the Australian colonies. THE MAJORITY OF THE PRINCE OF WALLS.—The coming of age of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, when he will take legal possession of the first instalment of his future dominions, being deemed by all west countrymen a fisting occasion for congratulatory addresses, a deputation of influential landowners of Cornwall have represented their views to that effect, to the High Sheriff of the county, Mr. Thomas S. Carlyon. That gentleman at once issued a circular to the magistracy, salting an expression of their opinions, and as the result, has just determined that a grand county demonstration shall be held, to present to his Royal Highness, on the 9th of November, en address suitable to the auspicious event. Great rejoicings are expected to take place throughout the whole of Cornwall, the inhabitants of which have always taken a most lively in terest in the welfare of their future duke. Much regret is felt throughout the district that the Prince, by the present court arrangements, will be precluded from being present ;. Cornwall to receive loyal congratulations on the occurrence of this event. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden, travelling in the name of Count Eberetein, has arrived at the Palace Hotel, Buckingham-gate, accompanied by Baron Gunneingen, Baron Sternberg, and Mr. Ernest de Bunsen. The Duke of Newcastle loft town yesterday for hie seat, Clamber Park, Notts. His Highness the Prince de Demidoff has arrived at Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, from Paris. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster and Lady Theodora Grosvenor left Motoombe House, Dorset., yesterday, for Eaton Hall, Cheshire. The Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter and Lady Victoria Cecil have taken up their residence at Burghley House, near Stamford, from Bournemouth. The health of the Marquis of Breadalbaue has greatly improved since his departure from London for Germany. The Marquis and Marchioness of Bath have left Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, for Longleate, ner- Warminster. The Marchioness (Frances Anne) of Londonderry has arrived at Holderoeme Houle, Park-hne, from the north. Earl Somers has left Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley &mare. _ _ The Earl and Countess Delawarr have left town for Buckhnnt Park, Sussex, for the water. Lord West remains in town. The Earl awl Countess Vane are receiving a 'sleet circle at their Plat in Wales. Viscount and Viscountess Castlerosse have arrived in Perin with the intention of passing • few weeks on the Continent. The Lord Bishop of St. David's has left Mauri,s,y's Hotel for Abergwili Palace, Carmarthen. Lord Lyndhurst has returned to town, accom panied by Lady Lyndhurst and the Hon. Miss Copley, from Tunbridge•wells, where the noble and learned lord and family have passed several weeks. He is in excellent health, and only slightly infirm, considering his advanced age. The anniversary banquet of the officers who were engaged in the battle of Balaklara took place at the London Tavern ou Saturday last. The Right Hon. Lord George Paget presided, supported by the Earl of Cardigan, the Earl of Lunn, Sat. James Scarlett, &c. On Friday last the Rev. George Gilbert, M.A., was instituted to the vicarage of Claxton, in Norfolk, on the presentation of Sir Charles Henry John Rich, Bart., of Nottingham-place, Regent's perk. On the same day the Rev. Edward Freuer was instituted to the 'image of Cretfield, in Suffolk, on the presentation of the Rev. Edmund Holland, of Benhall Lodge, in the same county, clerk. In consequence of the vacancy of the metropoli tan see of Canterbury the sittings of the Convocation of the prelates and clergy of that province could not be con tinuod in the ordinary manner to the day named in the royal writ of prorogation, inasmuch as the royal writ is ad dented to the archbishop himself. It is usual, upon the appointment of a new metropolitan, for a royal writ to issue authorisiog /him to revive the sittings of the Con vocation. The government has interposed to remit a fine inflicted by the magistrates of Galway. A young man named Brookes found a number of ruffians shamefully ill treating a number of young women belonging to a pro testant institution, when returning from bathing. At great personal risk he saved them from further molestation. The stipendiary magistrate would have dismissed the case against the assailants of the women, who were sites wards sentenced at the assizes by Baron Hughes to six months' imprisonment. The magistrates, who would have let go those offenders without any punishment, inflicted a fine on Mr. Brooke* for protecting the girls, he having been sum moned for an assault upon the aggressors. The judge, • Roman catholic, praised his conduct warmly ; and now the Lord-Lieutenant has remitted the fine, which the judge bad not power to do, as the matter did not come before him on appeal. The exceedingly bad weather which has prevailed during the last fortnight has hail a very damaging effect upon the Irish harvest. Serious apprehensions are enter tained in moat parts of the country, for a large quantity of grain still remains on the field, and much of it him yet to be cut. Had the fanners exerted themselves more vigour cooly the quantity exposed would be inconsiderable, as most of it was quite ready several weeks ago. A Calcutta letter of the 22nd ult. says :—" At present is is striking to observe the way is which cotton is pouring into Calcutta. The jetties on the Hooglily tied the trucks on the line are covered with great bags, un. screwed, and in some cases almost unsows. No care has been shown in packing it, and little is given by the railway officials in the transit. The road and the river are often covered with it ; natives as they pass, and the birds of the ►ir, help themselves to it ; and all because there are no screws in the interior. Yet so largely have prices risen in the interior that it can afford to pay the high rates demanded necessarily by the railway for cot ton so packed. Little above 30cwt. of unscrewed cotton can be stowed away io one waggon, and each waggon costa from 30 to 3.1 rupees, and at that sum hardly pays. This rupee a cwt. to transport cotton from Agra and Allababad to Calcutta is due solely to the want of screws. The river presents a similar scene. Great boat', which are as safe as they are uowieldly and uoshapelv, are borne down by the current oir to Calcutta. This is the result of prices having at last risen above the level of 18.19, when they reached their highest point during the past 20 years. Fortunately, too, the rise took place about sowing time, and the fact that native capitalists sre eager for entton gives the people, so often deluded by the fickleness of Manchester, confides°, in the permissions of the rates." 4 LATEST INTELLIGENCE. GARIBALDI. A Turin letter contains the following : Garibaldi is still much the suns. He le said to be "better," but the improvement is at beet very trifling. On Wednesday the decisive nomination will be held, in order to decide whether his leg is to be taken off or not. There is no doubt that the question is decided beforehand, and that the amputation will be performed u soon as possible. What, in fact, can be thought of a wound which, after fifty days' constant care, is neither curd nor in the way of cure? If the operation lied been performed at once, we should now have been free from anxiety, whereas at present the shook to a constitution weakened by long suffering it much to be feared. The consultation will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 29, and will be attended by Drs. Ripari, Prandina, Denegri, Zanotti, Bertiani, Gherini, Thomrosal, Albanese, Basile, Porta, and Rizzoli, besides the French surgeon Nekton, and the English Professor Partridge. EXPRESS FROM PARIS tisou ova owir PARIS, Moir EVINING. The departure of the court for Compiegne seems ' to be positively fixed for November I—an announce ment which must of course be received subject to the doubt which attends all such matters, owing to the systematic misstatements made regarding ' them. There are to be five aeries of invitations, each extending from Saturday to Saturday. Some Arab chiefs now in Paris are to be among the guests. M. de Biamark, who, it has been lately rumoured, would not come to Paris to present his letters of re call personally, has, on the contrary, left Berlin, and is expected here to-morrow. The revolution in Greece is the absorbing topic of the day. The Muniteur's bulletin, whose news is generally 24 hours behindhand, speaks of the event in an uncertain tone, from which nothing can be gathered as to the feeling of the French government, except that it is taken by surprise. The Patrie is at the pains to say that it has not yet been thought necessary to order reinforcements to Admiral Touchard's fleet in the Greek waters. I believe the Patrie to be quite wrong in making this announcement. The Prance and several other evening papers say that Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, who only arrived with his fleet at Toulon two days ago, has been ordered to sail for Greece immediately. This seems proba ble, for France is not likely to allow England alone to make an imposing demonstra tion in the Pinang under existing circumstances. Admiral de Genouilly's force consists of six ships of the line, a corvette, and a brig. Candidates for the throne of Greece, whose names are mentioned here, are Prince Lenchtsn berg (a Russian nominee), Prince Alfred of Eng land, and (credat the Pays) the ex-Grand Duke of Tuscany ! The France is good enough to say that a requi ' sition, numerously signed, has been got up in Athens calling upon the lonian Islands to join the Greeks in their insurrection. I should apprehend the lonians, with all their disaffection, must appre ciate the benefits of a quiet life sufficiently at least to wait a little to see how things turn up. The following paragraph from the Siicle is exten 'lively quoted, probably because it is considered applicable to other cases than that of Greece : . _ . The influence of women is not always beneficial in poli tics : King Otho has just had a proof of that fact. after so many other sovereigns. The Queen of Greece had placed herself at the head of the reactionary party and attached her consort to it ; at last the reaction has been swept aside, and with it the Bavarian throne. As a mere random French opinion, not entitled to any more weight than is due to a newspaper feeler, I quote the following from the Opinion Nationale : What will be the attitude of France in the eventualities which may arise from one day to another in the east! We can rely upon Russia, Prussia holds out her hand, and Italy is with us, but will the American question, including that of Mexioo, permit us to think at present of the solution of the great eastern question The Bourse was bad at the opening, and good at the close ; but the fall of Saturday, attributed to the false news from Bermuda, has not been re covered from. The Greek revolution was considered a very serious event, although it has produced but little effect on Consols. The Rente, after declining to 70fr. 85c.,recovered and left off firm at 71fr. 30c. for cash, and 71fr. 35c. for account, with a fall of ' sc. in each case. Mobilier rose 13fr. 75c. The only changes of consequence in railways were a fall of sfr. in Orleans and Lyons. THE VOLUNTEER FORCE. BISHOP COLIINSOW NEW WORN ON TER PENTATEUCH. This morning the much-talked-of work of the Bishop of Natal, entitled "The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically Examined, Part 1.," was issued from the publishing house of MOWS. Loco:tan. In a preface of 31; pages, dated Loudon, October 4, the bishop sets forth the circumstances under which the book has been written, and states in a general way the multi at whi c h he his arrivr I. The translation into the Zulu language of the books of Genesis and Exodus brought him, he mays, face to face with questions which caused him some uneasiness in former days. Be then procured from England various works which be mentions, chiefly German, cal culated to waist him in examining into the foundations of the current belief in the historical credibility of the Mosaic The result io the bishop's mind bas become already knows. "If my conclusions," he says, "wen only speculations, if they were only matters of higher or lower probability, I feel that I should have no right to express them at all is this way, and thus, it may be, disturb painfully the faith of many. But the main result of my examination of th e Pentateuch, namely, that the narrative, whatever may h e its value and meaning, cannot be regarded as historically true, is not, unless I greatly deceive myself, a doubtf u l matter of speculation at all ; it is a simple .1110414 m of facts." The bishop think" that a very wide spread distrust exista amongst the intelligent laity of England as to the soundnese of the ordinary view of Scripture inspiration, and he instances, as an illustration, the want of intelligent students from the universities for the service of the church. " How can it," he says, " be otherwise, when in an age like the present—which has been well described as one remarkable for fearlessness, and, it may be hoped, for sincerity, in the pursuit of truth,' (Rev. Prob. Cook, 'Aids to Faith,' p. I33)—the very condition of a young man's entering the ministry of the church of England is, that he surrender henceforth all freedom of thought, or, at least, of utterance, upon the great questions which the age is rife in, and solemnly bind himself for life to believe unfeignedly in all the canonical Scriptures ; while he probably knows enough already of geology, at all events, if not of the results of critical inquiry, to feel that he cannot honestly profess to believe in them implicitly.—[This passage I have written, notwith• standing the relief given to the consciences of many of the clergy by Dr. Lushington's recent judgment, because. if I mistake not, the answer in the ordination service is not the only part of our formularies, that will be generally under. stood, until explained by judicial authority, to involve implicit belief in the historical truth of the fade record e d in the Pentatenchl—The church of England must fall to the ground by its own internal weakness—by losing its hold upon the growing intelligence of all classes—under some remedy be very soon applied to this state of things, It is a miserable policy, which now prevails, unworthy of the troth itself, and one which cannot long be maintained, to keep things quiet.' " At the 29th page the bishop states that if he feels called to the work he shall not shrink from the duty of examining in what way the interpretation of the New Testament is affected by the unhistorical character of the Pentateuch. In the concluding paragraphs of the preface the bishop states that he is not aware of any breach of the law of the church of England, as declared by the recent judgment is the Court of Arches, which is involved io this publication. Should it be otherwise he says, "I must, of course, bear the consequences of my act." He holds that the founda tions of the national church are laid " upon the truth itself and not upon mere human prescriptions." More than all others, he believes • bishop is bound, if his conscience impels him to it, "to do his part to secure for the Bible its due honour and authority, and save its devout readers from ascribing to it attribute' of perfection and infallibility which belong to God only, and which the Bible never claims for itself." The bishop expresses a trust that the system of the church will be reformed, and her boundaries enlarged. He continues, and concludes the preface as follows :- 4 ' Should the receptioi of this book,by the more thoughtful portion of the community, indicate that such a reform is possible and probable, and will be but a question of time, so that, being able meanwhile to speak out plainly the truth, we shall have only to bear with the inconveniences and in. consistencies which must attend a state of transition, it would not be necessary for me, or for those who think with me, to leave the church of England voluntarily, end &ban. don the work to which we have devoted ourselves for life. In conchudoo, I commend this subject more specially to the attention of the laity. TAey are happy enough to be able to lay aside such questions as theme, if they will, while still continuing members of the national church. I implore them to consider the position in which the clergy will be placed, if the facts brought forward in this book are found to be substantially true. Let them examine their own haute solemnly, in the sight of God, on these points. Would they have the clergy (bound, under pains and penalties, to profess belief in that which they do not themselves believe in, to which they would not on any account commit them. selves? Are they willing that their own sons, who may feel the divine call to devote themselves to the ministry of souls, should be entangled in these trammels, so galling to the conscience, so injurious to their sense of truth and honesty, so impeding to the freedom and heartiness of their ministrations? We, indeed, who are already under the yoke, may have for a time to bear it, however painted it may be, while we struggle and hope on for deliveranoe. But what youth of noble mind, with a deep yearning foe truth, and an ardent desire to tall out the love of (Rd to man, will consent to put himself voluntarily into such fetters? It may be possible to represent some d the arguments in this book as invalid, others as unimportant. But, if the main result of it be true, as I believe it will be found to be, it seems to me impossible that, five years hence, unless hbeity of speech be granted on these matters, any of the more hopeful sad intelligent of our young men will be able, with clear eon. sciences, to enter the ministry of the church of England. I now commit this first part of my work iuto the hods of Almighty God, beseeching Him mercifully to acne and bless it, as a feeble effort to advance the knowledge of His truth in the world." BARON THIERRY AND LORD PALMERSTON AT SOUTHAMPTON. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY EVENING. His Excellency Baron Thierry paid a visit here to-day, to inspect the docks and commercial facilities of the port, in reference to a steam-picket communication between Southampton and Trieste. After the inspection, the baron was invited to a banquet by Mr. J. R. Stebbiug, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, in the reading room of that establishment. The banquet took place at 2 par. About thirty gentlemen were invited to inset the baron. Hie Excellency stated that he had not seen Southampton for thirty years, and was surprised at its progress as a commercial port. He expressed himself pleased at its faci lities for trade, and said he should do all in his power to establish a more intiruate commercial union between Austria and England. At about 5 p.m., just as the party was about to break up, Lord Palmerston and the Hon. W. Cowper rode up to the Chamber of Commerce. His lordship heard that Baron Thierry was in Southampton, and rode over fr.sn Broadlands to see him, andon inquiring at the bermes hotel he found that the latter was then at the Chamber of Commerce. The president, the mayor, and other gentlemen went to receive his lordship. On entering the reading-room Lord Palmerston and Baron Thierry greeted each other moat cordially. His lordship's health was drunk, and in returning thanks he rioke of the advance which free trade had contributed to the commercial and agricultural interests of this country. The opposition to it had, he said, been most powerful, but it had yielded to the force of public opinion in this country, and to the will of the reigning head of France. With regard to Austria, its riches in mineral and agricultural produce were immense, but in. sufficiently developed. Nothing more fortunate could happen for the statesmen of Austria than that they should be led to see the benefits of freedom of commerce. He was not one of those who believed that the extension of commerce annihilated war, but it tended to draw closer the bonds of friendship between nations, and thus prevented war. His object in coming to Southampton was to invite Baron Thierry to Broadlands. His lordship remained about an hour, when he took leave. The baron will leave South ampton for Bromilands tomorrow. Up to Saturday last there were consumed at the Exhibition, in round numbers, no less than 1,30,000 ices, 554,000 Bath buns, 133,560 sponge cakes, 475.400 plum buns, t19.2001b. weight of Genoa cakes, 15,000 Queen cakes, 6,630 fancy cakes at 23. each, 21,000 pastry tarts, 180,000 small cakes and biscuits, 80,060 macaroons, 12 tons of cheese, 112,000 pork pies, 27,480 other meat pies of various kinds, 189,0001 b. weight of plain bread, 62,5001 b. weight of bread cut intosandwiches, 1,4001 b. of fresh butter, and 110,0(3 Abernethy and captains' biscuits.

A banquet of 1,100 covers was given at Breslau to the Silesian deputies on their return home, after the breaking up of the Prussian Chamber. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. At Bonn, the deputy of the place (M. Jruich), was visited at night by the inhabitants and students, forming a long cortege with torches. At St. Jean, M. Vir chow on his return was received with great honour by the burgomaster and authorities. Similar marks of favour have been shown in Prussia to many other of the liberal deputies. The Breslau Gazette states that the signatures to the addresses lately sent to Berlin from certain dis tricts of Prussia were obtained either by fraud, or by exercising an improper pressure on the persons applied to. They were told that there was no time to read the document to them, but that the object of it was to get a reduction of the army and of the taxes, and that those who did not sign it were not good Prussians, and would be inscribed as de mocrats. The People's Ga.:ette of Berlin publishes the fol lowing appeal: TO THE PRUSSIAN PEOPLE. Our struggle for the constitution has begun to have its victims. In the first rank are the deputies who, faithfra to their commission, have defended constitutional right. A public functionary who belongs to the majority of the Chamber of Deputies has been dismissed. It is to be fear; 1 that this first step upon an inclined plane will be followed by others. It is the people's cause which is defended by these gentlemen, and it is, consequently, the indispensable duty of the people to sustain them, when their fidelity to conviction exposes them to measures which threaten their civil existence and the , • independence. A people which has had the courage and the firmness to elect, without being troubled by the numerous attempts made to influence them, such deputies as it pleases, will also have the strength and the perseverance to indemnify the defenders of the constitution for the injury which they sustain in the accomplishment of their duty ; for what is required is indemnity, by means of a voluntarlcontribution, for injury sustained, and not charity and testimonials. The sublime unanimity the Prussian peo ple has shown in the defence of the constitution will also manifest itself here, where acts ought to follow words. Without wishing to prejudge the resolu tions of the different electoral divisions, the under signed, members of the central electoral committee, declare themselves ready to receive and distribute the subscriptions which it may be desired to make on behalf of those wbom the present struggle exposes to persecution.

Giskra, a liberal deputy, has proposed the following motion iu the Austrian Reichsrath : "There is reason for adjourning all decision upon the increase of the indirect imposts proposed by the government until the budget for 1862 has been promulgated, and the total expenses for 1862 have been fixed." This proposition, despite the vigorous efforts of the ministry, has been adopted by a large majority. Thib important vote provoked a scene of confusion and extreme violence. The President of the Chamber was so extremely irritated, and used language so aggres sive, that the Vienna journals decline to report it. Virulent replies were made, and the Chamber sepa rated in the midst of great agitation. (REITTER'S TELEGRAMS.) HESSE CASSEL. CASSEL, Ocr. 27. The first sitting of the Chambers was held to-day.

Sex,—Amidst the anxiety and confusion of ideas caused by the inconsistent and even self-con tratlictory reports of the heath of the General, received from various quarters, the public will be glad to hear that a letter has been received from his secretary, dated 23rd, in which it is stated that " he has moved the foot without pain ;" that they " feel sure that the ball cannot he in the wound ;"and that they " are looking forward to a rapid cure without any necessity of amputatiou." I trust that the result of to-morrow's consultation will be to con firm these happy auticipations.—l am, &c., City, Oct. 28. P. A. TAYLOR. A Paris letter in the Mint Public of Lyons says : —" The Emperor Napoleon !IL, who already possessed at Civita Nuova (in the Marches) property estimated at a value of about 200,000 Roman crowns, has just enlarged that domain by the purchase of three estates formerly belonging to the church. The question naturally arises whether Cardinal Antonelli, who has published notes per urbent et orient, in which he has declared that ' whoever dares to purchase ecclesiastical property offered for sale by illegal authorities may expect to be deprived of them at some future time, without having the price reimbursed, because the Isis mast be considered as null and void,' will venture to make any intimation of the kind to the Emperor." REPORT OF HER MAJESTY'S COMMISSIONERS. This morning the report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the condition of the volunteer force in Great Britain was issued. The commissioners are of opinion that further assistance should be rendered by the government, and, as the most expedient way of regulating the aid so as to secure the real efficiency of the force, they recommend amongst other things the following : "That there should be a grant from the government of 21h. per man for every light horse, engineer, mounted rifle, and rifle volunteer, who can produce a certificate, according to a form to be prescribed by the Secretary of State, signed by the commanding officer and adjutant of his corps, or by the commanding officer and adjutant of the administrative battalion to which his corps belongs, that he has attended nine drills, sir of which in the case of • consoli dated battalion, and three of which in the case of an ad ministrative battalion, should be battalion or troop drills, in the course of the preceding twelve months ; that he is efficient in drill, has been fully instructed in the ma nual and platoon exercise, and, in addition to the above drills, has gone through a course of musketry instruction to be laid down by the Secretary of State ; and also that be was present on parade (unless absent by leave of his com manding officer with the approval of the Secre tary of State) on the day of inspection : and an additional grant of ten shillings per man for every volunteer who can produce a similar certificate that he has fired • certain amount of hell cartridge, according to regulations to be laid down by the Secretary of State. That in the case of a recruit 30 drills, including • short course of musketry instruction, should be substituted for the drills already enume. rated, in order to qualify for receiving such certificate. That a power should be reserved to the inspecting officer to disallow the certificate of any man or body of men whose inefficiency may be manifest on parade. That the existing definition of an effective should be repealed. That I divisional or brigade field days and official inspections should not be reckoned in the number of drills above specified. Thu in the case of artillery volunteers • further grant, beyond that already made by the government, of 30s. per man should he made for every man who can produce a cer tificate signed by the commanding officer and ad jutant of his corps, or by the commanding officer awl adjutant of the administrative brigade to which his corps belongs, that he has attended twelve gun drills'in the course of the preceding twelve months ; has been present at the gun practice of his battery, and is an effi,ient gunner ; also that be was present on parade (unless . absent by leave of his commanding officer with the approval of the Secretary of State) on the day of inspection. During de first year of service attendance at 30 drills, of which 24 should be gun drills, should be substituted for the conditions above enumerated. That in addition to all other allowances, a rum not exoeed iug per head per annum for each member who has been certified as efficient, in any corps where the head-quarters are distant beyond five miles from the place of meeting of the administrative battalion to which it be long., should be granted to the commanding officer of the battalion in aid of the expenses of conveying the members of such corps to battalion drills. That the adjutant should be responsible to the War-oriice, in the event of his being employed to act as paymaster, for ell sums received on account of such corps, and for their having been expended strictly according to regulation, and that he should be put on the same footing as an adjutant of disembodied militia." The authorities of the town of Krernsmunster, in Austria, bare rigorously interdicted servant girls, lady's maids, &c., from wearing crinoline. In 1861 there were exported from California 1.792.217 bushels of grain and 171.417 barrels of flour. In Itt ti California imported 50,000 barrels of Boor for hang consumption. A NEW ORATORIO.—We understand that Mr. John Francis Harnett, the pianist, has just completed his oratorio of Lamrsa, and competent judges, it is said, speak highly of its merits. We some time ago copied from the German papers most flattering notices of a portion of the work which was pertained at Leipzig, but we shall no doubt have an early opportunity of forming a perusal opinion with regard to it. as the Sacred Harmonic Society will probably introduce it to its friends in the metropolis.
