IT is always an easy matter to point a moral of any kind by the rigorous application of abstract rules of criticism without reference to the excep tional and qualifying characteristics of the par ticular case to which they are applied. The picture which a contemporary has lately drawn of the financial prospects of the Italian Kingdom supplies a notable illustration of this truth. The essential injustice of the impression which this picture conveys is almost effectually concealed by the incontestable truth of the political maxims which it professes to illustrate, and by the plausible ingenuity with which certain damaging truths are dwelt upon to the total exclusion of others which have an equally forcible, though opposite bearing upon the final conclusion. That national thrift is an essential condition, as well as an accurate test, of national prosperity, and that an extravagant national expenditure is an equally certain fore runner of national decay, are propositions the general validity of which is beyond dispute. • That the present expenditure of the Italian Kingdom is largely in excess of its present revenue is also an admitted and incontrovertible fact. From these premises, adopted without scrutiny or modification, our contemporary jumps at once to the conclusion that Italy is on the high road to national ruin, that nothing short of a speedy and radical change of her policy will be able to arrest her doom. Yet, unanswerable as this process of reasoning may at first sight appear, • little closer investi gation will soon convince us that it reposes upon • fallacy. There are times, says Lord Bacon, when riches take wings of themselves ; there are others when wings must be given to them to bring in more. In the former case • lavish expenditure is suicidal extravagance ; in the latter it is the truest economy. In which category, then, is the budgot of the Italian Kingdom to be placed? Is the large deficit which it annually records an evidence of reckless and ruinous prodigality, or is it rather, under all existing circum stance; a wise and reproductive investment of national capital ? In order, however, to arrive at • satisfactory answer to this question it w"l be necessary to inquire—first, whether the present expenditure of the Italian Government supplies an accurate criterion of its normal requirements ; and secondly, whether the present revenue of the King dom may be taken as a fair measure of its normal resources. The first branch of this inquiry may be confined in the main to notorious political facts; the second necessarily involves an appeal to specu lative opinion. In endeavouring to eliminate from the present political condition of Italy those circumstances which are only transient and acci dental, perhaps the most prominent feature of this description which arrests our attention is the num ber of local and factitious barriers which operate to prevent the fusion of the different races of the Peninsula into one compact and homogeneous nationality. To break down these bat.iers, and to facilitate an interchange of ideas between tribes which have hitherto been kept in a state of complete political isolation, should, it seems, be the primary aim of Italian statesmanship. To speak of the national army of Italy u if its sole design were to drive the Austrians from Venice and the French from Rome—as if it answered no pur pose in associating the different elements of na tional character in the common object of defending the common country of all—as if it engendered no sentiment of patriotism, and as if it conveyed no consciousness of national individuality—is to fail entirely to understand its capacity for forging and welding a new people. To ignore these effects is obviously to underrate enormously the moral pro ductiveness, so to speak, of the military expendi ture of the Italian Government, and to conceal the chief causes which render this expenditure for some time to come a matter of almost paramount necessity. Not that we look upon the present armament of Italy as valueless even in a purely military point of view. The tangible advantages which it has hitherto conferred upon the kingdom are, perhaps, only political and social ; but it has also been a wise and necessary preparation for contingencies which, though they have not yet arisen, might have arisen, and may still at any moment arise. But, whether ' 1 we look at the military or the political objects of this branch of Italian expenditure, whether we regard the army of VICTOR EMMANUEL as one of the chief means of bringing about the unification of Italy, or merely as an instrument for the future recovery, under more favourable circumstances, of that portion of her heritage from the possession of which Italy is now excluded, it is obviously unfair to represent either of these aims as one of the permanent normal requirements of the Italian Kingdom. They are both melt belly transitory in their character, the complete realization of them being not on y THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1864. within the bounds of ordinary possibility, but being perhaps one of the most probable Maul gencies to which the present generation can look forward. But, when we peas from a consideration of the expenditure of the Italian Government, sad of the nature of the circumstances which necesai tate it, to an estimate of the potential expansibility of the taxable resources of the country, we see still more reason to question the accuracy of the conclusion at which our contemporary has ar rived. It is true that the returns of the commerce of Genoa and of some of the prin cipal cities of Sicily show a falling off for 1862 as compared with those of the preceding year. But an explanation of this falling off is given • by Mr. Wan himself, in the injurious effects which the American war has exercised upon car tain branches of Italian trade. On the °Ler hand, there is a marked increase in the con- I sumption of many of the prime net:emu:es of life, than which there cannot be a surer index of improvement in the general well-being of the com munity, and, therefore, a corresponding increment of commercial energy. So far, moreover, from I the tonnage of vessels entering the ports of the kingdom increasing slowly, the Report expressly states that in the year 1862 navigation with , foreign countries increased 15 per cent., and the coasting trade 9 per cent. Considering the diffi culties which the unsettled state of the Southern , provinces, and the general prevalence of Papal and Bourbon brigandage have thrown in the way of commercial activity of all kinds, it would seem that the most sanguine forecast could hardly have anticipated a more satisfactory resnit. Our contemporary also has entirely ignored the great extension of railway traffic which has taken place during the last three years, and the substantial guarantee which that extension supplies of future external com mercial development. To expect that the results of these efforts should appear at once in the fiscal returns of the countts, is to neglect the lessons of all past experience, and to credit an infantile organization with all the vigour of mature manhood. We are far, indeed, from wishing to dissemble or conceal the enormous difficulties against which the Italian Government, distracted by a doubtful ally, and armed to the teeth against an implacable enemy, has to contend. But though there is cause for grave anxiety I and for the most watchful caution, there is cer tainly no matter for despair in the financial prc specta of the Kingdom. The pressure under which Italy is now labouring is temporary and excep tional, and there is every reason to believe tha', when that pressure is withdrawn by the clearing up of the clouds which now encompass her horizon, her resources will exhibit an elastic recoil that will disappoint the forebodings of her most candid (friends. PRINCE HUMBERT OF ITALY. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAT. The Marquis d'Azeglio, the Italian ambassador, with several members of the Italian embassy, arrived at the Dolphin Hotel in this town on Saturday, to meet Prince Humbert. heir apparent to the king of Italy. Dinner was prepared at the Dolphin yesterday for the Prises and th e Italian embassy. At 11 o'clock last night a messenger arrived at the hotel announcing that a French royal yacht with Prince Humbert, Prince Napoleon, and the Princess Clotilde on board, had arrived in Southampton water, and that the royal pa:gorges would not land until ibis morning. The Margo 4 d'Aseglio imme diately went off to the yacht. At 8 o'clock this morn. ing the Prince Humbert, Prince Napoleon. and the Princess Clotilde, with their mites, landed at the dock in a tiny screw steamboat, belonging to the French royal yacht. No one knew who they were. and they walked from the dock to the railway station. One of the royal carriages was coupled to the &40 express train for the accommodation of Prints Humbert. Before the train started the Italian prince kissed his sister, and saluted Prince Napoleon in eon tinental fashion. On taking his seat in the chiliese he began to smoke a cigar, evidently in igno. ream of the role prohibiting smoking on Radials rail ways. On the departure of the train, Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde left the station arm-in-arm for the dock, followed by a gentleman and lady of their suite. The Princess Clotilde, who, like her brother, is not very tall, was dressed very plainly in a yachting costume. On the arrival of Pi ince Humbert in town, he proceeded without the lewd deNy to the residence of the Italian lege tion in Grosvenor-street.

In the afternoon the Prince, accompanied by the Marquis d'Airglio and a limited number of his suite, took a drive round the outskirts of the metropolis. The Prince first visited the Zoological-gardens, in the Regent's-park, and then he drove by St. John's-wood, Weatbourne-place, and Hyde-park to Grosvenor-place, through St. James's-park. down the Strand and by Wellington-etreet and Long-acre to Grosvenor-street. In the evening his royal highness honoured Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston by his company at dinner at Cam bridge-house, Piccadilly. The Prince arrived shortly afte r 8 o'clock, accompanied by the Marquis d'Aneglio, the Italian minister, the whole of the Prince's suite, and the personnel of the legation.

A correspondent of a contemporary states that fa an interview which be was allowed to have with Muller in the prison, the prisoner proceeded to say that on the night of Mr. Briggs's murder he left his boarding-place shortly after sapper, rode to London-bridge, se he was troubled with • lame leg, a cart having ran over his foot • few days previously and braised it ; that he walked across Lcndon.bridge and took another omnibus to Camberwell New-road. Going into a publio-house in that locality, he drank a glass ci beer, and remained there until half-past 9, when be again took an omnibus to return to London bridge. On recrossing the bridge and going to the Royal Exchange, which be reached about 10 o'clock, he found that the last omnibus had left, and he was obliged to wank home. In cosiniquence of the lameness of his foot it was 11 o'clock before he reached there, and all the folks had gone to bed. He made his way to his room as soon as pos sible, and saw none of them until the next morning. " I told Muller," writer the oorrespondent, "after he had owl lamed this statement, that much cariosity was felt to know bow he came in possession of the hat and watch which were said to belong to Mr. Briggs. He promptly answered that he pu-chased the hat at a shop in London • year ego. The watch he stated he bought of • puller on the dal" the Monday before he ailed The vessel left port on Friday, and he narrated the emumstances as follows : —The pedlar had rings and other trinkets for sale, and vireo Mollm's stepping up to look at them he offered him this watch. Muller had but 41. and three ha'f-crowns in his pocket, mosey which he had been saving up to purchase his passage ticket to America, and when the pedlar offered him the watch for 61., he replied by offering 41. for it. This was refused, and Mu"er turned to go away, but he had taken such • fancy to the watch that he determined to purchase it if he could by the payment of all the money in his possession (41. three half -ova ca), and this the pedlar finally accepted. When he got the watch in his possession he said be was afraid that it might be worthless, and so went to Mr. Death's, in Cheapside, to exchange the &ilia, thinking that if this proved to be porn gold the watch oleo most be u valuable as it seemed to be. ' Tau,' said I, Mr. Death's statement was cor rect. You bartered the chain with him r Yea,' Muller asswered. ' Had you heard of Mr. Briggs's murder,' I asked, ' when you bought the watch 1 I had; he re plied ; but I did not think of the catch being his.' ' How was it you happened to take purge for America just at that time ' Oh,' said he, ' I had been intending for some time to come here, to follow my trade, and had given my landls 1 y notice • fortnight before that I meant to leave." Another question,' I said. You have just told me that you gave ell the money you bad for the watch ; where did you raise fonds to pay for your passage ticket I' ' I pee tied the watch chain,' he answered, and afterwards sold the ticket.' Certainly,' I replied, 'that could not; have been sufficient! 'No,' said he ; ' I had a gold watch before I parches( d the one said to belong to Mr. Briggs, which I sold, and which brought me sufficient.' You will remember that several of the witnesses who have testified before the London tribunals have stated that Muller had no gold watch previous to the time that he secured possession of Mr. Brigp's. Bearing this fact in mind, I did not think it worth while to pub my inquiriee further, and after • few unimportant remarks took leave of Muller. During the conversation he bore himself with great composure, and was never at a loss to answer any questions that I put to him. He was dressed in the same clothes he wore when in court, with the single exception that he was without a coat. His shirt had apparently just come from the hands of the washerwoman, and was cossequently clean. His puts ware threadbare, but were neatly brushed, and on the whole his upesratos was as mach in his favour as it could have been expected to be. As I turned to leave the ' Tombs,' the warden remarked, He ie • bard ass you way depend upon it ; b'a month shows that !• " A DISTURBANCE IN THE GAMBLING ROOMS AT BADEN-BADEN. The handsome rooms of the gambling-house at Badec•Baden pressatedaa extraordinary spectacle one even ing last week. Toe croupier of the roulette table, appa rently by error, drew towards himself the pile of mosey in front of a German baron, oae of the players. Toe berm immediately claimed the restoration of Ws stskes, sod, as he was supported by the other players, the money was re turned by the croupier, who, in doing so, made an offensive remark to the baron. The players resented the affront, sod than arose an altercation, which soon became more and more walnut: I. The bank called for the police, who soon appeared, and expelled the supposed came of the disturbanos. It hap. paired also that just at this time a sudden and heavy f►ll of rain had caused the hall to be filled by many persons seeking shelter. The increase of spectators added to the commotion, especially as few knew the real cause of the uproar. The *yin portion of those present supported the cause of the boron, who, after long explanations, was brought out of the offices and into the saloon in triumph. The croupier was now required to beg pardon, and thus the tumult became greater than before. An idea can be formed of the sane when it i s stated that some hundreds of persons of different nations were present, and that each pied " Tarn him out" in his own language, while at the same time a Mill of people, actuated by curiosity, sought to make their way into the mom. The bank maturely put a stop to the play, though hundreds cried oat that it should be continued. The crowd then broke the large mirrors, which gave rise to the idea in the adjoining rooms that fighting was going on, and many persons took to Bight. At last the police appeared in form, accompanied by rural gendarmes, but as they entered with drawn swords, the commotion Mermaid for some time, sod was not quelled till, after the lapse of more than an hour, the capital was removed. By this time the toilettes of the female players and spectators showed plainly bow animated had been the *tangle. Voiaterested spectators could only hops that Baden would soon be left to its natural and beautiful attractions, which are sufficient to 5U the place without the assistance of the gambling table.

BISHOP COLENSO IN LercurswesEat. - SCENES AT CLAYBROOK CHURCH. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) An announcement that the Bishop of Natal Lai agreed to preach a sermon for the village schools in the church of Claybrook, on Sandayafkinsoou, and a rumour that the Bishop of Peterborough would exercise his episcop a l authority and prevent the sermon being preached, acted considerable excitement in Leicestershire last week . it was stated that the Bishop of Peterborough had et. pressed his disapproval of the proposed service, but tit Public announcement that Dr. Coleus° would preach was repeated on Saturday, and in the evening of that day h, . .., lordship, accompanied by a lay friend, arrived from Lat. don at Claybrook Vining; the residence of the Rev, p . H. Johnson, who holds the vicarage of Claybrook in ei, L . junction with the rectory of Lutterworth, distant .0.., four miles. Shortly after the bishop's arrir.t ;- Claybrook Vicarage, Mr. Gates, of Lutterworth, iii. ; acted as agent of the Bishop of Peterborough, pre , etre , himself at the vicarage and inquired for the I:i.hop . • Natal. The vicar had an interview with Mr. Gates, at.! during the conversation Mr. Johnson was served ...... inhibition from the bishop, forbidding him to ~..!, sermon to be preached by Dr. Cohens°. A similar d .. meat was served upon the Bay. Lewis Wood, Sir. Jai, eon's carats and son-in-law. Mr. Gates then renew e d E .; request that be might see the Bishop of Natal. I 1.9 1.4..... ship urged that he knew nothing of Mr. Gates, a:,.1 as i, did not desire to have any communication with him, L e d e . dined to see him. Mr. Gates then left the vicarage. I i .. Solids" morning as the Bishop of Natal, accompanied ',.. his friend and Mr. Johnsoo, were paring thro.igh the churchyard a person holding a document iu his hand 41' tempted to approach the bishop, but was prertiit e d ‘,... the bishop's friend, and during a slight altereat,n as. I took place Dr. Coleus° and Mr. Johnson passed into tii, church, and along the centre aisle to the chancel. They were followed by the agent of the L'isho; of Peterborough, who, accompanied by the cLurvi• wardens, proceeded to the chancel where the B.sLop of Natal was kneeling at the communion table. Whiie tLe bishop was in the act of private devotion, with his er e , closed and his head realising on hit hand, the lei ,op c. Peterborough's agent, holding out a written dr.-.tirnent. addressed some remarks to his lordship, wL. hcs• ever, did not notice him, The agent then three the notice at the bishop, and it fell at his feet, and there r, mained until the bishop had passed out o. the &arch ai the conclusion of the service, when it was picket up Lc some official connected with the church. Mr..10tit•..3 announced at the morning service that his dioce , ,n ~.,.: served him with a notice commanding him not to al!ov the Bishop of Natal to preach in his church, but intimmr.l the. Dr. Colima would publish the sermon he had ioten.le I t., preach, and that, to prevent disappointment, his lorilsLii would address a meeting at the schoolroom in the eveninz. There was a large attendaide at the afternoon ten ice, :,Ld the Bishop of Natal, attired in his episcopal robes, funk h . place at the commnoion table. The service was cfloduct.sl throughout by the Rev. Lewis Wood, the curate. Befor.• the sermon Mr. Wood made a statement with referetre to what had occurred in the morning and on Sattlrd.,y evening. The rev. gentleman said : ' You are aware, my brethren, that Mr. Johnson had asked the lii .t, of Natal to pram* a sermon on behalf of our 'iris, schools. The bishop consented to do so, and Ls; this day coon among us, but not to preach. You have heard, no doubt, that the bishop of this diocese has sent a notice to Mr. Johnson, to myself, sod to the chur v i. wardens, forbidding us to allow his brother bishop t o preach in this church. If that order is a lawful one - which we very much doubt—we are bound, of course, to obey it. Bat whether it is lawful or not, the bishop ~i Natal had no sootier heard from Mr. Johnson that the lord bishop of the diocese had expressed his wishes 03 the subject, than he wrote to say that he would be ouwillitc to be the cause of an unseemly strife in the matter, std would, therefore, merely come to visit Mr. Johnson es a friend and brother clergyman, and not to occupy his pul pit. Bat, now that he is present with us we feel bowl in spirit to declare our feelings among you. Our soar is now an old man ; four spore and three have been the years of his pilgrimage, and forty-eioht of those years he has spent, by God's mercy, as the pastor of this push. During that time has be not laboured, however feebly. to declare the whole counsel and tenth of God among you. sod to have his conscience clear of the blood of all of you; Yon cannot expect him to live much longer among you. As an aged minister, then—ore who is fast drawing near to the eternal world—as your pastor for so many years, who has striven by God's help to sow the seed of life among you, and who must before long be celled hence to give an account of hie ministry, he desires to deliver his solemn testimony this day among you with reference to the work done by the Bishop of Natal. We heartily and entirely approve that work. We believe him to be • true and fa thful 'avant of God, who is doing his utmost to adman the canoe of true religion, and to promote the solid, lading welfare of our National Church. We know that his books have been condemned by many—that he himself has received hard names from many—and I am sorry to my, from some of those to authority as bishops of the church. But so it has been in all ages. In our own neighbourhood, Wickliffe ' the great Reformer of Lotterworth, was also in his day defamed and calum niated, and would have been burnt alive, if the bishops of the time ooukl have doge it with him as they did it with many others. St. Paul tells us how be was attacked in his time by those who were zealous for the law—that is, for the mere letter of the Bible—while be was preaching this spirit and the life of it. He tells us that he himself, with the other Apostles, was made as ' the filth of the world,' as 'the offacouring of all things.' Nay, one greater than St. Paul, we know, was said to hare a devil—was called Beelzebu b—by those same scribes and pia. ANSI who professed to be teachers of the law, and to be religious more than others. And be has told us that 'the disciple must not be above his lord.' We charge you, therefore, brethren, do not listen to the hard and uncharitable speeches which you rosy hear many make—man high and low in the church— about Bishop Colenso. He has sought not the praise of men but the praise of God in his work, and with that, we doubt not he will be satisfied. But read for yousselvei and consider what he has written quietly and calmly in your own homes. For as he will not preach among us to-day, he has been begged of by Mr. Johnson to print sod publish the sermon which he would have preached had he been permitted,aod he haspromisedtodo so. As soon as it is ready you shall have it in your bands, and we doubt not that SO3 will be pleased with it. It is our firm belief that, as Wick• lift put first an open English Bible into the bands of hie fellow-countrymen, so the Bishop of Natal has been oiled the first to do his part—and he has done it manfully and well—to advance still further the work of the Reformation, and to enable English laymen to read that Bible for them selves, when opened, thoughtful and intelligently, as God who gave Hie book woul d have them read it; and not with the blind amass:eine credulity of a priest-ridden people. We thank God that we bare lived to see this day ; a day of increased light ; a day of in. creased love of the truth, and of simple straightforward utterance of it ; a day of hope for the future of the church of England. We esteem Bishop Coleneo very highly is lora for hie work's sake. And very rare we Sr. of this, that, whatever may be said of him by the people of this gene ration, our children hereafter will honour his meteory when we and he are laid in the grave.

RIGHTS 07 JEWS IN RUSSIA. The invalide Russe of Sept. 4 antains the fol lowing : "The managing committee of the Western Pro vinces, in their sittings between the 12th and 19th of July, have come to the following resolution : The right of acquiring land and farms, conferred on the Jews by virtue of the decision of the committee for the arrangement of their affairs, sanctioned by the Emperor on the Bth of May, 1862, will not be extended to the western provinces of the empire, and therefore all Jews without exception will be prevented from buying land, whether belonging to nobles or pea sants, throughout the entire extent of the govern ments under the jo , :oodiction of the two governors general of the west (Wilna and Kieff ).' "His Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to approve of this decision of the committee." "It is not difficult," says the Dibats, "to ex plain the motives of this decision. Some time ago the Abeille du Nord denounced the Jewish capi talists of the westeta provinces as purchasers, to the exclusion of Russians, of the lands which ' Polish proprietors are obliged to sell, or which have been confiscated by recent ukases. The Abeille du Nord insinuated that these bargains be tween the Jews and Poles might be fictitious, and made with the object of preserving to the old pro , prietors some portion of the property of which the St. Petersburg decrees despoiled them. It is clear that the Abeille dot Nord has not written iq vain." (azirra's massums.) RETURN OF THE POPE TO ROME. ROME, SEPT. 12. . _ _ The Pope has returned to Rome.

THE EXECUTION OF LATOUR. (nom OUR OWII CORIZSPONDZIIT4 PARIS, MONDAY EVINING. . _ Latour has been executed notwithstanding the mystet f which still shrouds at least a portion of the truth regarding the murders at Labastide. Audouy since his condemnation to hard labour for life has persisted in declaring his entire ignorance of the whole affair, and this in spite of promises of commutation. The authorities who investi gated the affair and got up the case, as well as the judge who sentenced Latour, are persuaded that six or seven men were engaged in this tragic plot, so skilfully conducted that only one man suffers the last sentence of the law. You will remember that at a certain distance from Bsillard traces of blood were discovered. The authorities at hrst thought that one of the murderers must have been wounded, and that at this spot his bandages had fallen off. As neither Latour nor Audouy had scars, the blood was set down to a scheme to deceive justice, in the same way that it was imagined that the bodies of the victims had been mutilated to make it appear that vengeance and not robbery had been the object of the assassins. The police declared that some animal must have been killed and dragged along the road in order to throw them off the scent. This was searching rather far for presumptive evidence. The instruments with which the murders were committed have never been found, nor have the clothes in which Latour is said to have accomplished his part in the bloody work yet been produced. The cart and donkey which Audouy has described as driving along a certain road have vanished also. Audouy still denying all participation in the crime, has more than once expressed his astonishment that the evi dence adduced against him did not send him to the guillotine. Latour, on the other hand, long in sisted that there could be no serious intention of carrying out the sentence so unjustly passed on him. The former escapes, the latter has suffered death. I When the news spread round Foix that Latour was to be executed this morning, crowds of people flocked into the town. At 7 o'clock the prisoner arrived on the place of execution. As he bad fre quently declared himself a mussulman, no priest was in attendance. Latour looked round him with assurance, maintaining an attitude of pride hard to describe. He bad written some verses, which he said he should sing on his way to execution. He was as good as his word, and sang with a firm voice. Arrived at the scaffold, he examined the blade without any apparent emotion, and then lightly mounted the steps. On the platform he threw a last look at the blade of the guillotine, and then commenced the " refrain" of his verses (some three hucdred). He had got half through the quatrain • second time when a dull sound was heard, and all w►s over with Jaques Latour. The market firm, with slight improvement. ARRIVAL OF THE PERUVIAN. The steamship Peruvian, belonging to the Cana dian Mail Fin, reached Liverpool last evening (Monday). She left Quebec on the 3rd inst., and has consequently made the shortest run on record. By this arrival we receive New York papers to the let and Canadian of the 3rd inst. We extract the following late news from the Quebec journals. THE CAPTURE OF FORT MORGAN. The navy department at Washington had re ceived the following from Admiral Farragat : Flag4hip Hartford, Mobile Bay, Aagost 25. . . had the honour in my despatch, No. 31, te Mate to the department that Fort Morgan had surrendered on the 23rd lest to the army and navy, though at the time the despatch was written sod mailed, the ceremony of surren der had not actually takeu place. The correspondence preliminary to that event is herewith forwarded, and the department will peroeive the terms of capitulation were the same as in the ease of Fort Gaines. Gmeral Page eodea- Toured to obtain more favourable terms, but without .suc cam I regret to state that after the erseenbFog of the rebel officers at the appointed hour. 2 p.m., for 'intender outside the fort, it was discovered, on an examination of the interior, that most of the guns were spike 1, many of the gun-carriages wantonly Injured, and there was every reason to believe that this had been done after the white flag had been raised. It was also discovered that General Page and several of hie officers had no swords so deliver up, and further that some of those which were nu rendered hr I been broken. The whole conduct of the officers of Forts Gaines and Morgan presents a striking contrast in a moral principle, that I =Dot fag to remark upon it. Colonel Anderson, who commanded the former, finding himself in a perfectly un tenable position, sod encumbered with a superfluous num ber of oonseCptn wiry of whom were mere boys, deter mined to merenier a fort which he could not defend, and in this determination wr. suppose ted by all his officers save one. But from the moment he hoisted the white flu, he scrnpu'oasly kept everything intact, and in that condition delivered it over, whilst Page and hie officers, with a childish spite, destroyed guns which they said they would defend to the last, bat which they never defended at all, end threw away or broke those weapons which they had not the manliness to use against their enemies.

The New York Evening Post's correspondent writes as follows : New Orisons, Augr•t 24. .- - - The heavy bombardment of Fort Moran, which began early on Monday morning, August 23, was perhaps the most severe firing which bar yet been directed against the rebel fortification., except Sumter. The range was obtained previous to the opening of the C 111311011140 on that day. So on the morniog of that day Farragut's fleet, including the flag-ship and other large vessels, the monitors, the rebel ram Tennemee, and some blockading semis, took part in the bombardment in connexion with land forces These were stationed on Mobile Point, in the rear of the fort, and heavy mortar batteries were planted within. It is report. d by an eye-a:knees 5C3 or MO yards from the fort, that the vessels were stationed on either side of Mobile Point, and the fort was therefore invested on three sides. The fire from early dawn until 6 o'clock was regular and effective, but shortly after that hoc. it became rapid and extremely heavy. The rebel ram Nashville was blown up by the Mataeornet just below Mobile. The gunboat Oneida fished up 11/1 torpedoes in the dismal below the fort. The New York Herald's Mobile correspondent Uri : On the morning of the 23rd of August Captain Taylor, bearing a white flag, accompanied by four men, marched out of Fort Morgan, carrying a smell era boat, with the in tention of going to the flag ship, three or four miles distant, with • Dote from General Page, proposing to surrender. A check was pot upon this by General Bailey, who said the arm► and navy were one, and, as his artillery commanded Fort Morgan, and his infantry every pert of Mobile Point outside the fort, he would not permit a boat's mew to peas off from shore on any pretence whatever. Soon after Geo. Granger arrived, sad the note to Admiral Farregut was taken by him, saying he would communicate its con. tents to the admiral. In • short time a demand for unconditional surrender was made and granted. The results of the victory at Mobile may be wound up thus : Compelled the evacuation of Fort Powell. The surrender of Fort Gaines. Almost destroyed and compelled the surrender of Fort Morgan, heretofore considered the strongest fortifica tion in the United Metre. We have taken 1,5 C D prisoners, 100 pieces of cannon, and avast quantity of small arms and munitions of war, also provisions enough to feu t the per:- on we shall place there for six months. We have captured and have ready for use the ram Tenuous., the strongest versa afloat ; also several other war vessels, and h►ve peened up at least two English blockade runners. Ail this met the army one man killed and six wounded, and the navy the lose of the Tecumseh and • part of her crew, and very few casualties in other ships. A NEW TONE.—A letter from Rome states that the Pope has addressed an encyclical letter to the Bishops of Poised, in which be expresses his grief at the situstion of catholicism in that country. Pins IX recommends peace and obedience to the constituted authorities, and re commends the clergy not to take any part in the revolt, declaring th►t the Holy See is opposed both to schism and to revolution. The reports of the Frankfort autumn fair this year state that it has passed off favourably, the transac tions in woollen, worsted, linen. and cotton manufactures having been large. It is remarked as a proof of the growing prosperity of the people that the sale of common goods is continually falling off, while that of the better de scription is increasing. The horse-fair is also said to have been successful. About a thousand bosses were sold at a satisfactory prices, and permits from England were among the buyers. At Teplitz, near Treatscbin, in Hungary, eight violent @hocks of an earthquake were felt on the let of September. The visitors who were sitting in the perk listening to the band of the Hungarian singles jumped from their eats; the musicians threw down their instruments, and the people rushed out of their houses in terror. The motion, which was from south to north, lasted, h bat throe or four seconds ; bat beyond frightening the people and shaking down several dilapidated chimneys, the earthquake pained over without nosing soy damage.
