DEATH OF THE EARL OF HAREINOTON.— We have to record the death of the Earl of Harring ton, C.B, who expired on Sunday night at hie re sidence, Harrington House, Kensington Palace-gardens. The Right Honourable Leicester Fitzgerald Charles Stanhope, Earl of Harrington, county Northampton, Via count Petersham, county Surrey, and Baron Harrington, county Northampton, in the peerage of Great Britain, was the third son of Charles, third earl, by Jane Seymour, daughter and co-heir of Sir J. Fleming, Bart. He was born on the tad of September, 1784, so that he had completed his 78th year within the last few days. The deceased noble man married on the Zlrd of April, 1831, Elisabeth, only child and heir of Mr. W. Green, of Trelawney, Jamaica, by whom he leaves bone two daughters and a son—namely, Lady Anna Caroline, married to Mr. Edward S. Chandos Pole ; L►dy Geraldine, unmarried ; and Seymour Sydney Hyde, Viscount Petersham. On the death of his eldest brother, Charles, the fourth earl, in March, 1851, he succeeded to the family honours and large states in Derbyshire and Cheshire. The late peer was for nearly thirty years in the army, which profession he entered in 1799. He was employed with his regiment in South America, in 1807, and was present at the attack no Buenos Ayres ; served also in the Mabratta war of 1817 and 1818, and took part in the battle of Maheidpore and the storming of Talnier. For his military services in India he was, in 1818, made a Companion of the Order of the Bath. He was placed on half•pay in 1826 ; his commissions bearing date as follows—Ensign, Sept. 29, 1799 ; lieutenant, Oct. 20, 1802 ; captain, March 31, 1803 ; major, June 4, 1814 ; lientesant-colosel, June 18, 1813; and colonel, Jan. 10, 1837. He was a Commander of the Greek Order of the Saviour, conferred for services rendered to that state. His only son, before named, succeeds to the earldom, and the present earl was born Sept. 27, 1845. The Duke of Bed ford, the Duke of Leinster, Mr. and Lady Jane Raptor the Earl and Countess of Monntcharlee, and the Marquis and Marchioseas of Kildare are placed in mourning by the demise of his lordship. _ _ _ The great autumn fair at Frankfort has just been brought to a close. Cloth, which ia usually the article of the greatest .t i e m o zrtance, sold badly and at reduced priors. Cotton calicoes, and drapery goods in general found a ready . Is clocks, imitation jewellery, bronze and hardware articles, little was does. It is generally re marked that this fair ram oosagarably from the increas ing umber of ODIVANTeiNi travellers, who visit with their sampler even the smallest towns to that part of Germany. ' MUSIC. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. GLOUCESTER, MONDAY. The one hundred and thirty-ninth "Festival of the three Choirs," of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, has virtually opened to-day, the first muster of the three hundred vocalists and instrumentalists being held in the cathedral at noon, the where portions of the oratorios selected for the meeting have been rehearsed. His Grace the Duke of Beaufort is president of the fes tival. The vice-preaidents are the Lords-Lieutenants of Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire. The principals engaged are—eopranos, Mdlle. Titiens, Mies Eleouora Wilkinson, and Mdlle. Pampa ; contraltos, Madame Sainton•Dolby and Madame Laura Baxter; tenon, Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr. Mouton Smith ; and beam, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Winn, and 6ignor Boni. Mr. Townshied Smith (Hereford) 1 takes the organ, Mr. Dove (Worcester) the pianoforte, and Mr. Amott (Glcracester) is, by virtue of his office as organist of Gloucester Cathedral, the conductor. The following is • 1 sketch of the week's musical programme :—Tuesday, the festival open as usual with Divine service at the mahatma, and a sermon by the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol Usually this has been a long servioe, with overture., and the long " Dettingen Te Detun " of Handel ; but than will not be given on this °maim lamtead thereof there will tib'l a palominos of eared alma is the afternoon, ilaydn's oratorio of the Creation being selected. On Wednesday the oratorio will be Mendebmohn's Elijah; on Thursday, Handers Judas Maccabees . , and Mendelasobes Hymn of Praise; and Friday, Handal'. Messiah. There will also be early cathedral service each morning by the members of the Hire* choirs. There are three secular concerts at the Shire- hall, a fine building in the centre of the city, and in wove. plant proximity to the cathedral. The railway companies connected with the district—Great Western, South Wales, Bristol and Birmingham, and West Midland—have made advantageous and liberal arrangement. for the convenience of visitors. The Great Western has a i l special on Friday for the Messiah, which is always certain to fill the cathedral. Mr. J. H. Brown, the secretary to the stewards, on whom devolves almost the entire =cage meat of the festival, report most favourably of the pros pests of the meeting. The sale of tickets to parties at a distance is very large, and especially for the last oratorio (Messiah), on Friday morning. DRAMA. ADELPHL Yesterday evening the popular drama of The Flowers of the Purest was reproduced ►t this theatre, and was witnessed with undiminished interest by a very large audience. It is one of those pieces which bear the test of time. Cheap John (Mr. J. L Toole) and his assistant in the disposal of his wares to the villagers (Mr. Paul Bed ford), kept the company in a perfect roar. This drama is probably destined to have a good Ilan in its renewed cane, STRAND. A new farce, announced in the programme as " An Absurdity," but certainly one of a hilarious nature, was produced here Last night under the title of Sam's A rrired, the author being Mr. John Oaenford. The leading character is Lord Dundreary (Mr. Belford), who is presented with all the familiar features of an established favourite, with the addition of some others, arising from the action of the plot. Lord Dundreary's Brother Sam is a mysterious creature, whom his lordship has never men in the flesh, but from whom be is, nevertheless, continually re ceiving letters. Bella (Miss Penny Hughes) in • ward of the nobleman, to whom her supposed deceased father Abel Murdock bequeathed 504, on condition that she should never marry any one but Uncle Sam. A dealer in sweetatuffs, Theophils Tripkins (Mr. J. Clarke), who is her favoured suitor, in order to overcome this ob stacle, at the lady's suggestion, suddenly an nounces himself to the guardian as his long ab sent brother, sod claims both the lady and the legacy. This is the commencement of a series of embarrassments in his lordship's mind which keep on amusingly accumulating to the last. There is a second claimant to the name and rights of Brother Sam in the person of Samuel Hugging (Mr. H. J. Turner) ; and after • long dispute between the two, there is about to be an amicable adjustment of their claims, when Mrs. Fubbs (Mrs. Menders), Sam's ancient nurse, who had been continually extracting presents from Lord Duo dreary in that visionary character, declares that the child to whom the Dowager Lady Dundreary gave birth was not a boy but • girl. Even this complication does not clear up the mystery. Abel Murdock himself (Mr. Poynter) re-appears, declares Lord Dundreary to be his (Murdock's) child, and leads his lordship sagely to believe that he is, after all, his own brother Sam. With this perplexing discovery, the scene appropriately closes. Tho characters were all well sustained. Lord Dundreary, or his double, seemed quite at home in his new domicile, and was called before the curtain to receive • hearty welcome. OLYMPIC. Last night au amusing trifle "from the French," by Mr. Horace Wigan, wee produced at this theatre. It is called Beal and Ideal, and its moral seems to be • protest against those romantic notions which are apt to be engen dered by a too attentive study of literature of the London Journal type. A Yorkshire lady who bas fallen into this error is staying with her husband at a London friend's named Bonus (Mr. Cooke). Bonus is much the sort of person into whom Mr. Richard Swiveller might have deve loped if he had remained a bachelor, had continued his devo tions to the Muses, and had become a wealthy stockbroker on the wrong side of fifty. He has living in hie house at Bayswater a young lady named Lucy Braodon (Mile Hughes), to whom he ia engaged to be married, the match having been made by her deceased peps, and enforced by the condition usual in fiction—that of forfeiture of her estates if she does not carry out the arrangement. She apparently assents to it, but ate has all the time a secret attachment to one Frederick Herbert (Mr. Neville), • penniless attaehd on leave in England. By way of warning to her romantic friend, Mrs. Harzrave (Mrs. St. Henry), she draws • pathetic picture of the emlarrsaament and misery which flow from these interesting entanglements. Scarcely has she finished when Bonus finds Her bert concealed on the premises, demands an ex planation, and is allowed to conclude that there is a dis graceful intrigue in progress with Mrs. Hargrave. Horror. stricken, he begs his /Marie to lecture her soundly on the impropriety of her conduct, which she undertakes to do. Now, Lucy is by nature "as jealous as a Barbary cock pigeon," and the lecture becomes in reality a downright " row." In the meantime Herbert and Hargrave have met and explained, and it is arranged that the former shall make the most ferocious love he can to Mrs. Hargrave ; which he does is accordance with • ample furnished him out of the London Journal, and poor Mrs. Hargrave is very naturally frightened half out of her wits. At length, however, Boma interferes to prevent the duel which seems impending, and in the most magnanimous manner enures Hargrave that Herbert's visit was to Mies Brandon. Herbert, thinking that the declaration is bond fide, declares the true state of his heart, and is accepted at all costs. Bonus, utterly nonplused, flies for comfort to the very quotations by which his archetype of facetious memory consoled himself on the collapse of the affaire Chegge, but be is stumped out by Hargrave with the Shake whin dictum THE GANZ SEARCH IN THE EA/ff.—The game season has not opened very promisingly in the eastern dis trict. From Suffolk it is stated that the partridges in most neighbourhoods are small, while the supply is scanty, the shooting being reported to be the worst which has been ex perienced for the last three or four years. In Lincolnshire, too, sportsmen complain that never were partridges eo scarce, very few coveys having been seen even on estates en which game is strictly preserved. Poaching and a cold no genial spring have no doubt induced this result. REPRESENTATION OF CAMBRIDOF..—CAMBRIDOE, MONDAY.-As yet comparatively little excitement prevails here with regard to the impending vacancy in the morons tatioo, though both parties are risking the best of their oppor tunities. There is no doubt that the real struggle will be at the approachieg revision of the parliamentary voters list, which is fixed to commence on the 15th lust. The revision battle in Cambridge is generally an exciting one, but on the approaching occasion will of course possess additional in terest, as the present condition of the register renders every vote of importance.

FIRE AND LOIN OP TWENTY LIVES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING. A terrible fire broke out this morning in the Brownlow-hill Workhouse, and before it was extinguished about twenty lives were lost, and the church adjoining the building was completely destroyed. The fire was first dis covered by Miss Kennon, the schoolmistress, about a quarter past two a.m., who at once informed Mr. Carr, the governor, of the fact that dense smoke was iesubag from the windows of the children's dormitory, which is situated in the eastern portion of the building, over the drug store of the workhouse, and only separated by a narrow passage running parallel with the church. As soon as Mr. Carr ascertained the Position of the fire he ordered all the hose of the workhouse to be got out, and they were Mime. diately fixed to seven stand pipes, and the water conveyed by them at once directed on the burning interior of the dormitory and church. Unfortunately the pressure of water at this time was not great, and the fire continued to spread among the combustible materials contained in the apartments of the dormitory, which unfortunately was filled with its mewl inmates. It was near the centre of the dor mitory, it is presumed, that the fire originated. The dor mitory Is an apartment about 10 feet in length, which ruse north and south parallel to the east gable of the church, from which it is separated by the passage before mentioned. The dormitory is provided with two staircases, one at the south end and one in the centre. From the situation of the fire it was easy to get out all the inmates who occupied the south end of the apartment by means of the south staircase ; but am the fire raged prin cipally near the centre and around the head of the central stairs, no means of mope could be afforded to those who occupied the northern portion. Ladders were obtained, and the greatest efforts were made to extricate the terrified children through the windows. On breaking these, how ever, the smoke was so dense nod the beat so great that it was utterly impossible for any one to gain an entrance with out the certainty of almost instant death and the most de monstrable evidence of the impossibility to render any effi cient aid. Water, which now became more plentiful, was continued to be poured in copious streams upon the incandescent mass of which the dormitory now consisted, and such was the anxiety to save life that many of these who were employed in the praiseworthy effort had narrow escapee with their lives. Miss Mennen bad to be carried ►way in a state of insensibility. Mr. Carr was several times nearly suffocated ; and, painful to relate, two adult nurses and a grown-up girl fell victims to their exertions to save the lives of the helpless children. This sacrifice, however, was unavailing, as the whole of the inmates who occupied the northern portion of the apartment—numbering seventeen or eighteen—perished in the smoke or flames. The fire bad by this tints gained a feat hold on the church, but the whole available force of the water was directed in subduing the fire which was raging with such fatal effect in the plate where it was first discovered. Under these circumstances the conflagration in the church made fearful progress, and soon after 3 o'clock the whole struc ture was one grand and terrific mem of flame, from the floor to the top of the steeple ; the flames twisted and twirled, presenting a picturesque but appalling spectacle, which was visible for miles around. About half-past 4 a por tion of the steeple supports gave way, and the steeple itself appeared to vibrate considerably. A moment had scarcely elapsed when it reeled and fell, crashing through the roof and interior timbers and supporta, including the lower floor and all the consumable materials within the edifice down to the school-rooms underneath. After that the fire ap peared to have exhausted itself, and gradually died out. Simultaneously with the commotion of the fire in the church that in the dormitory was got under. At one time the fever hospital of the workhouse, which is in proximity to the dormitory and the church, was threatened with the fire, and the patients were got ready for removal in case of any emergency, but fortunately the precautions taken were not required, and 6:16 fire did nest reach the hospital. On the subjugation of the fire the ruins presented a distressing appearance. The dormitory roof was gone, as were also a large portion of the floor and the central staircase. The portions of the floor which remained were covered with partially burned bedding, and among the wreck were the charred and disfigured remains of the unhappy victims of the flames. Some of these were horribly mutilated, having evidently been smashed by the falling debris. In the dormitory the bedsteads were all iron, and in one row of these lay 14 bodies of Melees children, charred and blackened, and partially covered with fallen portions of the roof. The church, which once we. one of the most pleasing features of the general maw of the workhouse buildings, presented a sad appearance. Its walls were completely burst ►nd rent asunder by the heat and the falling timbers ; and the once beautiful spire was broken, and lay in fragments among the smoking remnants of the sacred edifice. The dormitory in which the fire was first discovered was the one apportioned to the female children and infant in mates, and these there were about 40—namely, 16 pretty well 1 own-up girls, and 24 of tender age. Of these, as nearly as could possibly be ascertained, 18 or 19 had been burnt to death or suffocated in the room, in addition to the three nurses, who have been already mentioned as hay ing lost their lives. How the fire originated is unknown, as all was reported correct and safe as late as half-past eleven o'clock at night. As we have already stated., it was first discovered by Miss Rennin, who slept in a room adjoining the dormitory, and who, perceiving thick smoke coming out of it, rushed in and succeeded in getting three of the children out ; but perceiving the serious nature of the fire she aroused Mr. Carr, and he immediately called up other assistance. He speaks his conviction strongly that if a plentiful supply of water could have been obtained at first a considerable saving of property and even life might have been effected. We understand that the buildings are insured with the Royal Exchange Insurance Company. ROYAL SZLECTIONS. —The voltune of "Meditation on Death and Eternity," translated from the German of Zchekke, by Miss Frederica Rowan, and published by her Majesty's permission, is attracting some attention from the fact of its being understood to be composed of selections made by her Majesty from Zchokke's " Stunden der An- &chi," or " Hours of Devotion." An English vendee of the ' complete work wail published some years ago, but did not then excite much notice. The preface to the present volume informs us that the selections have been made "by one to whom, in deep and, overwhelming sorrow, they have proved a source of comfort and edification." The religious writing of Hein rich Zcbokke having been of a kind more poetic and emotional than theologically exact, some doubt, have been expressed whether the present publication may not, under the circumstances, provoke painful discussion. The tears expreised, however, appear to be without foundation. The work is somewhat gloomy, but is cer tainly not distinguished for daring speculation. The opening passage:—" What a painful shock do we not all experience at the intelligence of the sudden death of a friend, or even of • mere acquaintance whom we may have seen and spoken to but • few hours or a few days before, and whom we believed to be in good health," does not, at least, sound like • pre. lode to any very startling reflections. To English readers the selections will indeed probably appear somewhat tame ; but the circumstances under which the volume, which has already been privately printed and circulated among the royal family, makes its appearance, will doubtless invest it with peculiar interest in the eyes of many readers—Pub lishers' Circular. Tau HAevasr IN LINCOLNSIIIILL—In this large agricultural county harvest work has received a temporary check, the weather during the past week having been varied, and there has been an abundant fall of rain. Although farmers bare not been able to make much progress in reaping, the moisture has been highly advantageous to the root crops and potatoes; mangold and turnips have received considerable benefit. A good deal of corn has already been housed in the neighbourhood of Barton, and it as reported that wheat will be bold and good, but rather deficient in quantity. Barley is forward, and will yield largely. Irish labourers are very numerous. Near Caistor the wheat crop on the whole is well spoken of, but the late rain has interfered with the peewees of the harvest open ' titan. Around Bogen and several other places in the eastern district the yield of wheat is expected to be over as avenge. The crops already thrashed out have yielded essii&lt'Wy more than was expected, both as 42 Tuiptitf.s*d quality. Is one or two places is this vicinity the yie ld has proved 5i quarters per sere, and barley, oats, and beans are abundant crops. Taken as • whole, the yield of wheat is this county is expected to be quite as average. The week bee upload ilea, sad a large breadth of all kids of gnus will in all probability be housed by Wonky amt. THE DISTRESS IN LANO4SHIRE. The Central Executive Relief Committee at Manchester held a roasting yesterday, the Karl of ELLIa fiat in the chair. Amongst the noblemen a i n 4 dAteis p r .. . d lte r s c l i tirr.„,:d, Sir J.

Hutchinson , William Risthbous, jco., H. B. Fainall, A. H. Heywood, J. Worrell, and J. Ptebinsan Kay. The draft of a circular addressed by the committee to boards of guardians waa discussed and approved. The draft of a letter to the various local relief committees, suggesting the best plan for eilleiently working the several districts, was also read, and after 110010 dismission it was resolved that it should be printed and placed in the heads of the executive committee for further consideration next week. The Mayor of Manoheeter laid on the table a telegram he bad received from Victoria (Australia) announcing that the nun of 6,501/1. had been subscribed in that colony for the relief of the distress in Lancashire. The bora secretary was requested to write as early as the name end address of the correspondent am be ascertained, to aoknowledse the communication, and to enema the grateful acknowledgments of the committee for the liberal anbeeription, and their gratification at this proof of the rleres th lri o t f b Ts of mat prom ising of her trier. . _ _ . . . . sproMil from the Rama estate& primate of Aahton tead relative to the ormatitutios of the new local re lid committee of that town. A letter from the town clerk of Manchater was read, stating that on the 2nd inst. a numerous meeting of the officers and employes of the corporation was held, and the following resolution pared : "That this meeting, deeply sympathising with the dis taste now prevailing, and being of opinion that all persons ought, to the extent of their abi li ties, to sasist in its allevi stun, determine to contribute weekly in aid of the fund for the rebel of ,the distress in the manufacturing districts." The town clerk further said that the resolution had since) been geserallyapproved, and that the members of the police force, the men in the employe( the gas committee, the scaven gere, and lamplighters, and in fact the whole of the working men in every department of the corporation,had agreed to oon tribute weekly. The first weekly contribution amounts to 221. 6s. The town-clerk concluded by hoping that weekly contributions will be given by the employes in every ware house and workshop in the city and elsewhere, as penny and halfpenny subecriptious on a large seals would amount to a considerable sum weekly, and would be missed by none. The hoc. secretary read • letter from Mr. Gibbs. t e boo. secretary of the Lord Mayor's fund, in which be called the attention of the Manchester executive to an expression used by the Mayor of Manchester to the effect that the Loodor. committee had been egregiously imposed upon. The hon. secretary stated that in reply to the letter he informed Mr. Gibbs that the Manchester committee could only be respon sible for its resolutions, and that at meetings where repro mutatives of the press attended the remarks of any gentleman might be taken down, for which the committee could not be responsible. The boo. secre tary, in his letter, went on to say to Mr. Gibbs that the in formation on which the Mayoral Manchester's remarks were founded was obtained from private sources, and he was not inclined to withdraw any portion of what he had said ; also that the committee were acquainted with one case where the Lord Mayor's committee had made • grant which could hardly be justified. Finally, the bon. secretary had furnished Mr. Gibbs with • list of places to which the Lord Mayor's committee had forwarded 3,0001. up to the end of August, and to which the Manchester committee had refused aid on account of the smallness of the local subscriptions as com pared with the wealth of the district, or from there being no satisfactory mesas of distributing the money when for warded. The hon. secretary read • letter from the secretary of the 84. Pancras perish Relief Committee, stating that an effort was about to be made there, and that the funds would be forwarded for distribution through the medium of the Manchester Ceotral Committee. A subscription of 301. bad been received from a benefit performance at the Queen's Theatre, Manchester. Grata were made of 1001. to Dukinfield, 3501. to Wigan, 2501. to Oldham, and 301. to Heaton Money. The grant to Oldham was accompanied with an intimation that the com mittee would desire to bring under the immediate and most serious consideration of the local relief committee the im portance of organising forms of work suited to the age, strength, sex, and capacity of the recipients of relief. In making the grant to Heaton Mersey the com mittee called attention to the sin illness of the rote of relief given by the guardians at that place. A grant to Hurst was postponed, with an intimation that there would be a personal commturieation as to the amal gamation of the two local committees existing there. Grants to Ribchester,Bbuttleworth, and Ramsbottom were also poet pond, on the ground of there being no local subscriptions. An analysis of the accounts of 24 unions usually engaged in the cotton trade was laid before the committee by Mr. Fantail, in which the increase of pauperism and the increase in outdoor relief were distinctly stated. It would appear from this analysis that in those unions there was an in crease of 98,111 recipients of relief as compared with the corresponding week bud year ; and that the amount of out relief in those unions per week now amounted to 7,9221. Se. lid., whereas it amounted only to 2,1601. 16e. Bd. in the corresponding week of last year. It wu further stated that in twelve of the principal townships in the cotton district the local relief committees were aiding close upon 100,000 persons. The Preston relief committee, in their report issued on Saturday, state that during the week which ended on that day they distributed 56,4921 b. of bread, and 11,528 quarts of imp and coffee to the poor. The number of CUM was 5,803, the number of persona relieved 24,064, end the expenditure 4741. Be. In comparison with the previous week these figures show the following increase cases, 168 ; persons, 568 ; and expenditure, 191. 18a. If the distress continues to inCTOSSIN another appeal for aid will soon have to be made by the relief committee. The following is the variation in the amount of pauperism in the undermentioned union., on a com parison of the fourth with the third week of August. The total number of paupers in the third week of August in the section of unions marked c was 116,720 ; in the section 6, 28,250; and in the section 4 26,120 :—a. Fourteen unions have mom: Ashton under-Lyne, 1,190 ; Birmingham, 50 ; Blackburn, 620 ; Bolton, 120 ; Burnley, 290 ; Bury, 390 ; Chorley, 50; Chorltco, 270 ; Macclesfield, 110 ; Manchester, 470 ; Oldham, 80 ; Preston, 400 ; Rochdale, WO ; Wigan, 80. Total, 4,670. —b. Eight unions are, in respect to the amount of pauperism, the same as in the previous week : Coventry, Eccleshall, Bierlow, Hulingden (no return this week), Leeds, Salford, Stockport (no return this week), Stoke-upon- Trent, and Warrington. —e. Three unions have leas: Li verpool, 110 paupers; Nottingham, 40; Sheffield, 70. Total, VD. A large increase of destitution has taken place in the Blackburoe district since our last wake. About 15,000 persons are out of employment in the town alone, while ' • large number are out of work in the perishes of the union. Allowing the small average of 'we persons for one unemployed, there is a population of 30,000 living on charity. The returns of the relieving officers p'esented to the guardians at their weekly meeting last Saturday show that no fewer than 14,997 persons have been relieved in the union during the past week with 812 f. 14a. 6d., against 14,457 pemous with 786/. 14s. 7d. in the preceding week, and 2,403 persons with 1281. 4s. ftd. in the corresponding week of last year. During the week 30,200 lb. of bread sod 28,3201 b. of oatmeal have been given by the relief com mittee, against 27,9921 b. of bread and 27,8871 b. of oatmeal in the preceding week. The relief food now amounts to 7,7401. 10e. Bd., exclusive of 6001. contributed for the employment of operatives on the Infirmary grounds. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. ITALY. REPORTS OF GENERALS CIALDINI AND PALLAVICINL TURIN, Sur, 8. The Official Gazette of to-day publishes the re port of General Cialdini on the engagement at Aspromonte. . . . The report states that the instructions given to Colonel Pallavicini were to pursue Garibaldi un remittingly if he sought to fly, to attack him if be offered battle, and to destroy his bands. The Official Gazette also publishes Colonel Pal lavicini's report, according to which his left at tacked the volunteers in front, and after a brisk fire carried the position they occupied. The rebels were then surrounded on all aides, and ulterior resistance was useless. At this junc ture they signalled to the Royal troops to stop firing, and Colonel Pallavicini sent an officer of the staff to summon Garibaldi to surrender. Gari baldi replied that be would never surrender. The staff officer was made prisoner, as well as another envoy subsequently sent by Colonel Pallavicini. They were, however, afterwards re leased. Garibaldi requested to be allowed to embark on board an English vesseL Several volunteers, when questioned, said they knew nothing of the King's proclamation. Some believed that all had been arranged with the go vernment, while others said that Garibaldi had de ceived them. Nicotera, Miasori, and Micelli left Garibaldi on the 28th, probably to prepare a movement in another part of the province. Colonel Pallavicini, on learning that Nicotera and Micelli were at Bagnara, ordered them to be arrested. At Aapromonte three flags were found inscribed with the word; " Italy !—Emmanuel !" but not bearing the cross of Savoy, nor having the blue ribbon attached. Nu documenta nor money were found. MONTENEGRO. PARIB, Sum 8. A telegram, dated Ragusa, to-day, has been re ceived here this evening, stating that during the negotiations at Constantinople the Montenegrins have been fortifying the heights round Cettigne. It is added that Omer Pacha, without waiting for the decision from Constantinople, has given the order to recommence hostilities to-day. AUSTRALIA. MELBOURNE, Jou 25. A Royal commissioner has been appointed to report on the present condition and prospects of gold mining in the colony. 10,0001,• the proceeds of a subscription for the relief of the Lancashire operatives, has been re mitted to England by this mail. PLYMOUTH, Szrr. 8. The Venetia, Captain Page, belonging to Messrs.

We are still irregularly detained at the Qutestura, but the police feel that the proceedings are illegal, and therefore treat us with all possible regard. Our Bourbonist fellow-prisoner, whose sisters, as I heard from them, are ex-nuns, one of them the lady superior of the Charitable Sisterhood, got on Saturday advice from the secretary of the police to ask for a passport to any foreign country, and that his demand would be immediately complied with. Well aware, however, that there is no evidence against him, my young friend made a counter proposition—to leave Naples, bat to remain in the country. He is to get an answer to-day. You see, the prisoners treat with the authorities on a footing of equality. Alexandre Dumas, S 8 soon as he knew I was imprisoned, or rather detained, offered bail at once, without even consulting me, and requested the favour of keeping me in his villa, at the disposal of the police. He got for answer that, being arrested by order of the Turin government, I must remain at the Qumstura, at the disposal of the cabinet. My case, however, must be decided within the next twenty-four hours. Dumas and several English and Italian friends called on me in the afternoon, and their pleasant conversation caused us all to forget that I was a prisoner. One gentleman, however, assured me most positively that he had heard from a police spy that I am to share the fate of my friends the im prisoned members of Parliament, and to be tried by the High Court of the Senate as their accomp lice. I should be sorry for it, as otherwise I might be the principal witness for the defend ants, having accompanied them from Turin to Sicily, and back to Naples. They are still kept in close confinement, nobody being allowed to communicate with them. It is said that four gentlemen from Salerno were likewise sent to the Cordell Uovo, and that many arrests took place in the provinces, M. Petruocelli, the cousin of the well known member of the Italian parliament being among them. The new accessions to our number iu the police office are rather unpleasant—a young man accused of disgusting immorality, &c. The father of the assassin, who is detained here for the crime of his eon, was at last, after ten days, ex amined yesterday by the magistrate : he will probably be able to prove his innocence.
