Tar time seems to have arrived for recalling attention to a distinct statement with regard to the policy of France in Italy which appeared in our columns ten months ago. On the 19th of last November, when the difficulties of the Rroasotz Cabinet were at their height, we pub lished, on authority that we knew could be relied upon, the following explicit statement :—" The " project of an Italian Confederation is by no " means given up. The plan is to divide Italy " into three parts ; the one a Northern kingdom, " with Vicros EMMANUEL at its head ; the second " a Papal State, including Umbria and the " Marches ; the third a Neapolitan kingdom. " Venice would then be given to the Northern " kingdom. The great obstacle to the realization " of this plan is Baron RICASOLI. But every " kind of intrigue is at work to displace him ; and " it is thought if a cabinet could be formed with " Rarrazzi as its nominal head, the tripartite " Italy might be formed, the POPE satisfied, and " the phantom of one Italy sunk in the Red Sea " for ever." At the time when it appeared, this announcement not only excited general incredulity, but was met by the most prompt and emphatic denial in various quarters. It need scarcely be said that these official contradictions did not in the least shake our confidence in the substantial truth of the statement. But as it had been pub lished for a serious purpose, and with a view to future contingencies, we did not enter upon any elaborate explanation or defence of the para graph. While this brief but explicit intimation of the French EMPEROR'S secret designs wait given with the utmost deliberation, and a full knowledge of the authority on which it rested, we were of course quite aware that the detailed proof of its correctness could not be furnished at once, but must at the best be a work of time. Having placed it on record, therefore, as a practical warning, we were content to watch events, and wait patiently for the explanation they might supply of what seemed at the time a rash and, perhaps, unjustifiable statement. That vindication is now supplied quite as soon as we expected ; and in a more distinct, obtrusive, and offensive form than could well have been anticipated as likely, or, indeed, possible, at this time of day. All the world can now com pare the brief sketch of the French EmrEltOß'S secret designs in Italy, which appeared in these columns ten months ago, with the audacious pro ject unfolded in M. DE LA GUERRONNIRRE'S third letter which has just taken Paris by surprise. The schemes are absolutely identical, not only in their outlines, but in their details. Almost the only difference, indeed, is to be found in the enormous length and wordy elaboration of M. DE LA GDERRONNIERE'S state ment, his last and moat important letter being stuffed in even a greater degree than usual with the rhetorical jargon that passes for political philo sophy amongst the underlings of the Second Empire. As the personal identity of these schemes is a point of some importance, it may be worth while to compare briefly their main provisions. The first, as summarised in these columns nearly a year ago, was the division of Italy into three States united in a Confederation—the first a Northern Kingdom, with VIc?OR EMMANUEL at its head ; the second, the Papal States, including Umbria and the Marches ; and the third a Southern, or Neapolitan Kingdom ; Venice being given to the Northern Kingdom as a sort of compensation for its projected dismemberment. The iden tity of the second scheme with the first is not in the least disguised by the grandiloquent phraseology in which the obsequious penman of the Tuileries attempts to veil the rapa cious designs of his Imperial master. M. Di La OUBRILONNIERE demands a European Congress to settle the affairs of Italy, and he gives as the beats on which its deliberations are to proceed : " First, the division of Italy into three States " united by a Federal tie." These States are in the North a monarchy worthy of the glory of the House of Savoy, with Florence for its capital, and to be augmented eventually by ' Venetia; in the South, Naples with the Two Sicilies, one of the finest capitals in the world, a magnificent bay, and an immense extent of coast commanding the Mediterranean ; and be tween the two Rome, a Power admirably fitted P to unite them without subordinating one to Se other. In a word, the Papacy would be the central and commanding poyer of the Confede ration ; and in order that it may retails that function, Europe, according to M. Da LA GUERRONNIEREN proposal, is to guarantee the Pontifical territory, and to secure a reserva tion of the POPE'S sovereignty in the Marches and Umbria with a fixed tribute from the revenues of those provinces. This is quite enough, however, of this precious scheme, and more than enough to reveal its true origin. Of course, M. DE La GIIZE.RON MERE, at the close of his third letter, places his band on his heart, and modestly declares that he cannot pretend to be the interpreter of the Impe rial Government, just as in the first he solemnly announced the inspiration under which he spoke to be his " own conscience," which in the jargon of the Second Empire is probably a synonyms for the Imperial will. But there can be no doubt that he is now, as he has been so often before, merely the EMPEROR'S catspaw. He may be disowned, no doubt, as we hope and believe he will be. But whether he is or not, there can be little real uncertainty as to the authorship of the infamous scheme he has been employed to ven tilate. And until the scribe has been formally repudiated, we shall continue to treat the scheme as that of his Imperial master. At length, then, we know the position which this self-styled friend of the Italians holds towards Italy. It now appears, as many had all along be lieved, that NAPOLEON 111. is the real, the only serious obstacle to the unity of the new kingdom. It is ho, and not Austria or the POPE, that has arrested its progress, and unceasingly plotted and conspired to destroy it. It was he who artificially prolonged the siege of Gaeta, and the military struggle in Southern Italy. It was he who permitted Rome to become the centre of reactionary conspiracies, and the rallying-place for murderous gangs of Southern banditti. It was he who quietly consolidated his power there under the pretext of speedy evacuation. So long as the Italians could be cajoled into tem porary acquiescence and inaction by vague promises that Rome should be evacuated, these promises were freely given. This time last year, for example, when the noble, straight forward, and patriotic policy of RicAsom had offended the Tuileries, the agents of the EMPEROR industriously urged at Turin that the unyielding firmness of the Minister was the chief obstacle to the early evacuation of Rome. We now begin to see what Italy has gained and is likely to gain by a more subservient policy. The devoted friends and heroic guardians of the young nationality have one after another been removed from the scene of their active labours, from their various posts of watch and warfare. CAvora is dead, GARIBALDI defeated, and RicAsou in dis grace. Men of less capacity, less firmness of purpose, and less daring and inflexible patriotism, occupy their place. Their policy has not been of a kind to inspire any great respect abroad, and the enemies of Italy appear to imagine that they may easily be coerced into acquiescence, if not ac tually used as instruments of the basest designs. The hour is a gloomy one for Italy, and the Imperial vulture of the Tuileries appears to dream that his time is almost come, and that he may soon venture to swoop openly on his long-coveted prey. For tunately for the interests of Italy and the welfare of humanity it is only a dream. Any serious attempt towards its realisation would be a gigan tic and suicidal mistake. We have no fear on this head. The cool and criminal suggestion that Italy should once more be divided over a green table in the interest of the Second Empire, is chiefly interesting from the light it throws on the character and designs of NAPOLEON 111., and the degree in which it will affect his position and influence in Europe. It simply confirms all that his worst enemies have ever said, and will suffice to put Europe effectually on its guard. For the Italians we have no serious fear. M. DE LA Gore actrearaa and his "august inspirer" have been guilty of a fatal anachronism. Their schemo would have revolted the lax international morality of diplomatists of the year 1815 ; and any attempt to carry out such a rapacious, selfish, tyrannical programme would expose its abettors not only to the pity and indignation, but to the contemptuous defiance, of Europe. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVINING, SEPTEMBER. lATEST INTELLI(IENON. ! G4RIBALDL The following letter has been written by Dr. Ripari, in contradiction of the olicial report that Garibaldi made a "large distribution of money" the night after he was wounded : The Intendant-General had only 3,000 franca in the military chest on the 28th of August. Garth'kb, Menotti, Basso, and Bedeachini are here iritAout a simple penny. Not one of us who remained by the side of Garibaldi after he was wounded heard him say at Ulla, or elsewhere, " Do you no longer know your general?' With what object could be have uttered these words? To excite com passion' Who could imagine that he was endeavouring to raise the population ? I am evidence that the general never used the words—"Do you no longer know your general?" Ds. PIIIIRO 'twist The Turin correspondent of the Nord says Genends La Marmon and Cialdini have resolved to send in their resignations if the insurgents of Pima are not prosecuted. It seems that the army which is called upon every moment to make sacrifices, which had to move for ward on account of the Sarnico business, the demonstrations . _ . at Milan, Genes, Palermo, Monza, and now to suppress the revolt in Sicily and to fight at Aspromonte, would look upon an amnesty as a want of regard which would greatly cool ita ardour. Ido not know what will happen ; but General Ciakhei has been called to Turin by the King, and arrived here yesterday. The relations of the government with Prance continue very strained. Several foreign journals have remarks on the extreme bitterness of General Cialdini towards Garibaldi, which they attribute to jealousy of the latter's great popularity. The Correspondance Franco-Italienne announces that General Pallavicini, the victor in the engage ment of Aspromonte, has been named " Knight Commander of the Legion of Honour by the Emperor of the French." THE PRINCESS ROYAL. BAPTISM AT POTSDAM. BERLIN, SATURDAY. The baptism of the prince, the eon of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia, took place this day at the New Palace at Potsdam. The distinguished com pany invited assembled in the Apollo Saloon about 1 o'clock, and shortly before the commencement of the ceremony they were conducted to the chapel, and were arranged in a half circle in front of the altar. The infant we: brought to an apartment next the chapel, attended by the pages of honour, and was then conveyed to the door of the chapel by the chief lady of honour, assisted by the chief governess, followed by the ladies of honour supporting the train of the young prince. A.s the procession approached, the Crown Princess took her seat in au easy chair near the altar. At the door of the chapel the infant was handed to the Princess Alex andrine, who in her turn delivered the young prince to the Bing in front of the altar. The ceremony of baptism was then performed by the principal court chaplain, M. Heym, i assisted by other clergymen, and the royal infant received the names of Albert Wilhelm Heinrich. At the close of the ceremony the Kiog restored the infant to the Princess Alexandrine, who then placed him in the arms of his royal mother. The company and witnesses to the ceremony then retired to an adjoining apartment, where they offered their congratulations to the Crown Princes, and the witnesses defiled before her royal bights'''. The godfathers and godmothers, who were either present or undertook the duty by proxy, were the King and Queen of Persia, the Queen-Dowager, the King of Portugal, Princess Helena of England, Prince and Princess Charles, Princes Mary of Cambridge. Prince Frederick Charles, Princess Alexandrine, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden. the Landgravis of Hess-Philipstbal, Princess Louise of Prussia, Priories Frederic William of Hesse, Princes Anna of Prussia, the Hereditary Prince and Princess Leopold of Hobs:slits'', the Duke and Duchess of Brabant, the Duke of Sate-Coburg-Gotha, the Here ditary Prince and Princess of Schleswig-Eltolstein-Sonder burg-Auguatenburg. ibanquet took place rofterwards in the Marble Saloon, at which the distinguished company invited to the ceremony ware present. We understand that the Prince of Wales' mar riage to the Princess Alexandra of Denmark has been privately settled at Brussels ; that it is one based entirely upon mutual affection, and the personal merits of the young Princess ; end that it is in no way connected with political considerations. The revered Prince Consort, whose sole object was the welfare and happiness of his children, had been long convinced that this was a most desirable mar riage. The knowledge of this is itself a source of deep gratification to the Queen, and will be most satisfactory to the country. Their Royal Highnesses the Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres have left the Clareadon Hotel for Switzerland. Visoount Palmerston left town, yesterday, for his seat, Broadlands, Hants. The Count de St. Priest and the Countess d'Har court have left the Clarendon Hotel for Paris. Lord find Lady Rivers have left town for Rush more Lodge, Dorsetohire. Lord Loodesborough has left Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley...quits, for Egypt. NAPLES. NAPLES, Szrr. 9. When the good Bishop of Ariano, the president of the society of liberal priests, was at the point of death, the partisans of the court of Rome made an indecent effort to terrify him.into a retractation of his expressed opinion that the temporal power was not only unnecessary, but positively hurtful to religion. The curd of Santa Anna di Palazzo, the Vicar-General Tipaldi, and a Dominican father named borghi, came to his bedside, bringing with them a form of recantation ready cut and dried, and, moreover, so great was their precaution, a notary to witness the dying man's signature to it. The bishop gently but firmly resisted all their threats and entreaties, declaring that he asked pardon of God and man for all his errors, but that he maintained his opinions about the temporal , power, and did not feel that in supporting them he had failed in his duty towards the head of the church. THE PRUSSIAN QUESTION. The controversy between the Prussian crown ,and the representatives of the Prussian people with regard to the augmentation of the army, continues to be carried on in the midst of great excitement. No less than fifty speakers have inscribed their names as desirous of taking part in:the.debate in the Chamber of Deputies. In order to understand the nature of the dispute between the crown and the nation, it is necessary to state that, by the law of September 3, 1814, the military system of Prussia was organised on the following basis :—Obligatory service for all citizena, and d iviaion of the armed force into troops of the line, landwehr of the first and second ban, and the landatunn or levy en masse of the whole country. By the same law too period of service was fixed at five years for the line and at seven years for the landwehr, so that the period of service extended to nine teen years, or from the age of twenty to 39. An annual draft of 40,000 from a population of 10,000,000 brought the entire youth of the coun try into the regular military training of the line, before being transferred to the landwehr. But when the population of Prussia increased to 18 millions it would be necessary to draft annually 90,000 men into the regiments of the line. , This, however, was not done, so that the obligatory character of the military service became illusory, besides which the landwehr was incorporated with the brigades of the regular army, thus destroying its essential character as a body of reserve. The mobilisation which took place in 1869 brought to light all these defects, and King William I. proclaimed the neces sity of organising the army on a new basis. The liberals warmly supported the wishes of the King in this respect ; but the project of law which the ministry iutroduced on this subject meeting with opposition, it was withdrawn absolutely, without any attempt at amendment or modification. They asked for, however, and obtained, asupplementary grant of 9,000,006 thalers to cover provisional expenses. The opposition to the ministerial plan was founded on the fact, that by it the landwehr would be sacrificed to the line and the regular army increased from 180,000 to 300,000 men. It would also entail a considerable addition to the taxation, whilst it increased the period of military service from five to eight years. In 1801 the chamber again voted the supplementary credit, but it resolved that the cabinet were bound to present a project of law in the next session. The cabinet of M. Von der Heydt having come into power at this point, proposed a plan which was laid before the chambers on the 14th of January last. This project was known to be the offspring of the King himself. The House of Peers adopted it without discussion in their sitting on the 29th of January ; but the lower house not having time to discuss it was dissolved on the 11th of March. The question has now come before the second chamber under a different form. Hitherto the decisions come to were provisional in their character, the discussion on the main question of the organisa tion of the army having been expressly reserved. The Von der rle)dt ministry now proposes to transform the credits hitherto voted provisionally by the chamber into a permanent vote, and has even in troduced them as part of the normal war budget of the present year, by which proceed ing it is assumed that the project of law relating to the organisation of the army, which has not even been discussed, has been assented to by the chamber. It is upon the consti tutional legality of this proceeding that the contro versy now turns, and the decision of the chamber is watched with the moat intense anxiety by the whole Prussian nation. GREECE. Letters and journals from Athens to the 4th inst. state that the Greek government has par doned the non-commissioned officers drawn into the revolt of Nauplia, and also restored their commissions to a certain number of officers who took part in the insurrection. Great interest is excited at Athens by a project for cutting through the isthmus of Corinth, and making a new port on the western coast of the Peloponneaus. (REUTER'S TZLIGILANS.) SYRIA. PASIS, WT. IL The Paris papers of to-day publish the following telegram' : _ _ _ "Alexandria, Sept. 15. " News received here from Syria states that the Haman is still in insurrection. "The population had attacked the Turkish camp at Magrah, and intercepted the convoys. " An insurrection has also broken out at Castra van and Gazir. " Daoud Pacha bad been repulsed by the in surgents, and, it is asserted, wounded. The Emus Medjid and Kaisers were likewise wounded. " The above intelligence was telegraphed to Beyrout." • THE BOMBAY AND MEDITERRANEAN MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Sur. 16. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Mooltan, with the heavy portion of the above mails, has arrived in the river. She brings 47 pas sengers, including Major-General Sir R. Walpole and Sir James Cochrane ; 2,6011. in specie ; pearls, value 60,000 rupees ; and upwards of 4,000 packages of cargo, including raw silk, value 130,0001. sterling. The Ripon left Gibraltar for the east on the Bth instant. On the 7th the Mooltan spoke the British barque Grenfell, on the 11th the brig British Bride, and on the 15th the barque Haddington. The Mooltan left Gibraltar on the 10th instant. Exchange unaltered. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom oust OWN CORIUMPONDINT.) PARIS, MONDAY EVININO. _ _ You will see that the Paris morning papers rival each other in scorn and ridicule of the Guerron 'tare solution. It cannot be said of Kde la Guer ronuiere, "tires acquirit eundo," for the more he writes the less is thought of him. Even those honest champions of Italy, the Temps, Prase, and Opinion Nationale—which a few days ago pro- I claimed their fear that he must be inspired by the highest authority—now treat him with great non chalance. The two former of those evening journals do not notice his last article at all, and the Opinion postpones its criticism till to-morrow. The great battle now going on at court is on the subject of the general elections. If they take place next mouth K de Persigny will have beaten the ultramontane party at Biarritz, and then nobody will take any account whatever of what K de la Guerronniere may say. M. Peyrat, in the Preue, ventures to head a leading article with these words :—" The general elections will take place on the 2Gth of October next." But he explains afterwards that this is not • statement of fact but a logical induction of his own. Referring to the statement of La France that the matter is under the Emperor's considera tion, he says :—" It is not, therefore, certain, that the government has yet quite made up its mind ; but what is not clear in the intentions of ministers is abundantly clear in the necessities of the situation." The Bulher's Correspondence expresses a belief that M. Mercier, the French Minister in the United States, is ordered to make a conciliatory attempt to put a stop to the civil war in America. A warning has been given to the Chronique de Moult (a journal of the Sarthe) for an article about Garibaldi in its number of Sept. 8. The Bourse was languid to-day. In consequence of a mistake the Rents was quoted during great part of the morning ex div. at 68fr. 85c. At one o'clock a ministerial circular was distributed stating that the dividend would not be struck till to-morrow, and then the Reute wasdone.at 69fr. 60c., which, after a little fluctuation, was the last price for cash, being a rise of 20c. For account there was a fall of 5c., the closing quotation being 69fr. 55c. Mobi lier rose If r. 25c. The Italian Loan fell 25c. The Lyons Railway rose 7fr. 50c., Eastern 3fr. 75c., and Western lir. 25c. Orleans fell (4r., and the other lines were a trifle lower. The dog tax is a new thing in France, and people pay it very unwillingly. In consequence of the numerous claims for exemption under the clauses in favour of watchdogs and dogs employed by hawkers and costermongers, the Council of State has been exercising its ingenuity to olefins what is a dog within the sumptuary purview of the law. It has laid down the rule that all doge that come within either of the six following descriptions must be con sidered as "dogs of luxury," and pay the full tax : —l. The dog that runs about by himself in the streets ; 2. The dog that accompanies his master when he goes out for a pionieuade ; 3. The dog who is allowed to come to the fireside or run about the house from oue room to another ; 4. The dog permitted to play with the children ; 5. The dog trained to seek for truffiep ; and 6. Thu dog who, front old age or infirmity, has become useless, and is, consequently, kept constantly in the house. Some of these definitions will raise very nice ques tions with the tax-gatherers. The inauguration of the railway from Lorient to Nantes is officially announced to take place on the 21st. The former town is preparing a grand fête for the occasion. " Public opinion," says the Echo Agricole, "is now pretty well fixed as to the amount of the corn crop, there being a good average year. The Minister of Agriculture has confirmed that estimate by bis own personal opinion. The crop of this year,' be says, in a late r..port to the Emperor, is generally considered as equivalent to that of an average year.' We lo not think that any later particulars have in any way seriously modified that opinion." The female hippopotamus at the Garden of Plants, Paris, gave birth to a young one last week ; but, like all them preceding, it died is a short time. Genera! h:lapka, the Hungarian, has arrived at Marseilles from Geneva. Queen Christina, who has been for some time past residing at her villa at St. Adreese, near Havre, last week made an excursion to I , 7namp, to visit the old abbey and the bathing establishment there. The Jews of Kattowitz, in Silesia, have just inaugurated a new synagogue in that town. In a proms sion from the old place of worship to the new, the Roman catholic and protestant clergy walked behind the four rabbis, who carried rolls of parchment on which were written the Five Books of Moses. After divine service, a repast was offered to the persons who had taken part in the ceremony, when expressions of toleration, fraternity, and neighbourly love were exchanged. Some of the inhabitants of Naples have prepared an address to Garibaldi in the following terms :—" To General Garibaldi, Varignano.—Naples, Sept. 7, 1862. Generel,—To-day two years are completed since Naples saw the tyranny of the Bourbons destroyed; since you, the seal and leader of a gigantic enterprise, first to unfold the banner of a united Italy, entered our city alone, sad were received here with the enthusiasm of an entire people. We should be wanting in the holiest of human sentiments, that of gratitude, if, silent on occasion of your misfortune, this day should pass away unmarked. Illustrious prisoner! to day, then, Naples sends you an affectionate salutation. The vicissitudes of human fortune, whatever they may be, cannot take from you the glory of having made us Italians, 01 from us the memory of the heart." 16, 1862. AMERICA. (121111105 TILIOILUL) (Per Hilmanian, rid Quebec and Londonderry.) NEW YORK, Barr. 8, MOILIEMO. The Federal army has resumed precisely the same position round Washington which it held previ ously to its departure for the Peninsula. More Confederates are reported to be moving through Thoroughfare Gap, and to be branching off in the direction of Harper's Ferry. _ _ General Stonewall Jaolison has entered Lees burgh, and is pushing on to Harper's Ferry. The New York herald containaa rumour that a battle was progressing at Poolesville, Maryland, between the Confederates and the Federala, under General Sumner, whose corps was thrown forward to intercept the Confederates in their attempt to croas the Potomac. Various rumours are current of some fighting at Pooleeville, but nothing definite can be ascertained, The Federale have evacuated Aoquia Creek. The New York 'Jerald reports that the Confe derate General Bragg is marching towards the Ohio River through Western Virginia with 20,000 men. The Governor of Pennsylvania has issued a pro clamation calling upon the people throughout the state to form volunteer organisations. The government clerks in Washington have com menced drilling. The New York Times thinks that unless the Federal cabinet is reinforced with new vigour and ability the Union cause will be overthrown. The New York War Committee propose to raise two armies of 50,000 men each, to be commanded by Generals Fremont and MitchelL They are to be raised under Federal authority, but, if govern ment refuses them, under some other authority. The Governors of Maine, New Hampshire, Mas sachusetts, and Rhode Island are holdinecouncil in Providence. General Halleck has refused to call ont the New York City Militia, asserting that they declined to remain when the danger was more imminent than now. AU the colonels of the militia regiments indignantly deny this statement. The controversy continues. Louisville is greatly excited by the report that the Confederates have attacked the Unionists at Shellyville, thirty miles distant. The Confederates under Breckenridge and Van Dorn threaten New Orleans from the direction of Carrodson. (?) Wilson's Zonaves are expected at New Orleans. It is officially announced that whenever coupons of Federal stock are payable in foreign countries no deduction will be made for the tax ; but on dividends and coupons payable in America the tax will be deducted without regard to the residence of the owner. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The following were the total numbers admitted yesterday, compared with the corresponding day in 1851 : Moods,. Sept. 16 Beeson tickets • 1 Payload Total WAN Monday, Sept. 15 Tien/lon tickets 1,1121 (Payment Total 80,407 The remains of O'Connell's faithful and chivalrous companion, Steele, have been removed from the vault is which they were deposited, near those of the chief for whom and for whose party he sacrificed everything. The vault, it seems, was wanted by a wealthy alderman, and the Glasnevin Cemetery Company thought themselves justified in removing the coffin of " Honest Tom Steele," • pro testant, to make way for the family of • more orthodox Christian. This is a small matter compared with the fact deplored in eloquent and pathetic terms by the Freeman's Jour oaf. There is a statue of the late Mr. O'Connell, .` the Mender," to whom mainly the Roman esthetics of Ireland owe their emancipation, and whose word was once law to millions. The sum of 100/. was wanted to release this statue, in order that it might be set up at Eon* on the spot where O'Connell won his greatest victory, the Clam election, which decided the government of the day to r elinquish its opposition to the catholic claims. The editor of the Freeman appealed in the most earnest terms, not only to the people of Clare, but to the Roman catho lic. of all Ireland, to contribute the required sum for this "national" purpose. The result of this appeal to the gra titude of an emancipated race and a liberated church was three subscriptions of it. each. The letters receive I from Russia regarding the Nishoi Novgorod Fair state that the trade has been good generally, and particularly for overland tea, the price of which has been from 103 to 119 silver roubles per chest (84 Russian pounds), 50,000 chests first quality Bair.hovy having been sold, while not more than 1,000 chests of that im. ported from England have been disposed of. 20,000 poods of cotton, Kim and Bokhara, were sold at 12 to 13 silver roubles per pood, to be shipped to England. The Council General of the Department of Var has agreed to an address to the French government calling for a heavy tax on absinthe, an intoxicating drink, the basis of which (to use the chemical term) is prussic acid, and which is indulged in to such an excess by Frenchmen of every class, but particularly by military men, as to seri• ously affect their health. The prevalence of insanity among the officers of the French ►rmy quartered io Africa is ascribed chiefly to this deleterious drink, which is, as all visitors to Paris are aware, also very extensively consumed in the capital. The Madrid journals of the 12th publish an ac count of the Queen of Spain's departure for Andalusia. When the Queen enters the province at Jaen, the governor will present to her Majesty the key of the Andalusia*. This key is a piece of jewellery of immense value, made for the occasion. It is of gold, richly mounted with 131 precious stones, rubies, diamonds, and emeralds, surmounted by a crown, and on it are inscribed the Andalusian cipher, with the arms of Juen. A letter from Rome, published by the Wanderer of .Vienna, contains the following statement :—" The Pope's health is not very satisfactory. His own position, and that of Italy, weigh on his mind. His }foliates lately remarked to an ecclesiastical dignitary —• The head of Providence hes already written for me the Nene, Meese, Trkel, Upharsin. My days are numbered; my acts ere weighed in the balaoce of Divine justice, and I hope they will not be found too far wanting ; my empire is falling into secular hands. Will it be for long?—who knows The Pope almost every day receives visits from foreign priests, chiefly French and Belgian. In answer to the question addressed to him on the subject of his personal fears or hopes, he usually replies in very few words, and it is evi dent that such questions do not please him." Weimar is at this moment encumbered with congresses. To that of the workmen, which has just chosen Hamburg as their centre of emaciation, has sac ceded the emoomical congress, which will be followed by the Vor parliament. The little Germanic Athens hardly knows where to lodge so many clever people, and its Plat form is not sufficient for the orators who dispute possession of it. Two brothers, the Counts John and Benedict Tyszkiewice, belonging to one of the richest families in Lithuania, were crossing the bridge of the river ramie'', in the government of Wilm, a few days beet in a four. horse carriage, on their return from hunting, when the bridge gave way beneath them, and the whole were preci pitated into the river. Count Benedict and two servants escaped, but seriously injured, while Count John wan drowned.

Yesterday afternoon, au occurrence which crcat. 4 .4 the most intense excitement took piece in Derby.oiect, • small thoroughfare leading from the west side ol Whitt chapel. It appears that for come years put Mr. 441E011 Burns has corned on blititl4lll in Derby-street, as a furniture broker, and latterly he took • shop on the opposite side, employing his brother-in-law, Neal O'Donnell, to manage the concern on his behalf. Matters went oo smoothly between the parties until the last two or three months, when disputes seem to have originated as to the owner ship of the buthiess conducted try O'Donnell. The re sult was that Burns decided upon removing the goods from the premises occupied by his brother-in-law. With this object he employed several who were under the direction of Mr. Harrison; and ye4er day afternoon, about throe o'clock, they went out to the shop occupied by O'Donnell to discharge their duty. After entering the premises, O'Donnell became enraged, and, so far u we can learn, uttered threats to the effect that he would be avenged against the parties whom he supposed were doing him • grievous wrong. Boma disturbarme being apprehended, severs/ police officers were milled, and they came to the spot under the direction of Inspector Teasdale. In the meantime O'Donnell had left the shop, but in a short time returned, still asserting his right of poseession. Almost immediately on his return he exclaimed, " These are my goods. lem the owner of the premises," and producing a large carving knife, rushed at one of the bialig a , James Morris, and stabbed him in the left side of the abdomen. O'Donnell had previously gone into the shop pf Mr. Brigleafield, provision dealer, Whitechapel, where he Uok away the knife, and ran off with it. The =for- Waste victim of the outrage, Morris, who exclaimed, "I am stabbed," was immediately placed in a cob, and, wader the direction of peli^n :officer 7:i7, coo. spayed to the Royal Inermary. He was promptly at tended by Mr. Harrison, the house-surgeon, but the injury was of so serious a character u to be beyond the reach of surgical skill. The unfortunate man died about ten minutes after admission to the institution, the immediate cause of death being internal haunorrhage. O'Donnell was taken into custody on the spot, with the knife is his possession. The occurrence, as might be expected, caused a large crowd of persons to congregate our the sous of the murder, and many were there until a late hour in the e►ening. The matter will undergo investigation before the borough coroner, probably to-day. We understand that the deceased was an unmarried men.—Liverpool Afercurg. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) TSIIINIT.
