To bear the trials and misfortunes of our friends with equanimity is proverbially easy ; to persuade them that their trials are sent fur their good, and that their misfortunes are blessings in disguise, is a task from which even affection may shrink with out reproach. Public spirit in Italy is at present in that sore and sensitive condition which refuses to be comforted by the sympathy of dispassionate bystanders who calmly contemplate the patient's wounds, and pretend to dissuade him from his pain by protesting that while they feel for and feel with him in his sufferings, he has no reason to be suffering at all. It is ill arguing against heart aches which all the skill of medicine and surgery cannot reach or root out I All this we know full well, and yet not without a little hesitation per haps, we shall venture to say to our friends beyond the Alps that the pain they feel at the loss of some illusions, and the diaapiiointment of some expectations, will be wholesome in its bitter ness and strengthening in its severity, if it be the discipline of a sounder and healthier national life in the future, when the irritations of conva lescenoe have Failed away, and the serious duties of manhood have succeeded to the hazards and the agitations, the dreams and the dramas of youth. Certainly, the situation o' Italy at this moment is exceptional. After years of almost ruinous effort and preparation for the decisive struggle, of exhausting war-budgets and armaments, the great occasion came suddenlyat last, and Italy found herself an auxiliary in the field to the forces of a powerful ally, who seven years before, on the eve of the peace of Villafranc.a, was looming sullenly in the distance as an enemy in reserve. Italy opened the campaign of 1866 against her ancient foe by a movement in advance, planned with almost unexampled rashness, and fought against tremendous odds, with a fury and tenacity which no army in Europe could hat e surpassed, resulting in a victory which might have been mistaken for a defeat, and a defeat which so nearly resembled a success, that six weeks after discerning critics were wondering how the fortune of the day was let slip by an army that had at least held its ground in spite of the blunders or the follies of its chiefs. Custoaza was, beyond all doubt, one of the most unequal battles ever fought, and it is evident that the immense advantages of the defensive position were increased by the hasty and headlong generalship of the assailants, the utter want of combination, compre hensiveness, and coherence in their strategy, of the moat ordinary prevision and circumapect;on in their tactics, of vigilance and carefulness in those most important branches of military administration which bring a force into the field in the best condition. The battle of Custozza was lost, inasmuch as the Italians had failed in an impossible attempt, and fell back next morning behind the river they had crossed, and because the movement of the army of the Po in support had to be aban doned ; and owing, as it is angrily rumoured, to the jealousy or the obstinacy of the Commander-in-Chief, or to his deference to foreign counsels other than those of the strong ally who, in the course of a single week's march, was about to prove what skill and courage together could effect against courage without skill. The plan of campaign advised by Cztunutn and by the Prussian Generals was only resumed when Austrie was already prostrate in Germany, and had thrown Venetia with Pirthian canning the " armed mediation " of France. This sudden close of a campaign begun with such high hopes and eager expectations was scarcely less intolerable to the national pridithanif they had discovered that theiryoung army was unequal to the encounter with Austrian veterans. Nor were the operations of the Volunteers in the mountains altogether encouraging or satisfactory. GA RIBALDI was himself, indeed, full of his old re source and of daring tempered with prudence ; but he had to conduct operations which he had not planned, with raw bodies of the trash of towns, unfitted for fatigues and unused to arms, and tasking to the utmost the patience of a staff of officers of splendid quality, who in every skirmish were condemned to throw their lives away. And for all that the Government had done to provide these patriotic legions with food, clothing, or serviceable muskets, they might almost as well have been serving as a free corps in Cochin China. Yet such was the inspiring energy of Osmium:it that, wounded and discouraged and sick, he was working this raw material of enthu siasm and self-denial into the stuff of which heroism and victory are made, with the brilliant aid of his old comrade, Mania, at the head of a division of regular troops ;—he was forcing his way to the heart of the Tyrol, newly Emperbit will fi left alone amongst his people.Mt Mao essilkteassoe o rule depended au the suffregas of his imbjeete, we might hope that he would be enabled, though unaided, to mined* hie position in Mexico ; but when we cell to mind that he is now almost entirely without funds, and that the pay of allgoet every individual engaged in the administration of the State is in • • ' &mar, it must be confessed that his situation is one which amply justifies the grave apprehensions to which the un expected visit of his consort to Europe has given rise, The " Water Supply of the Metropolis," " The Bank of England Rate of Discount," and " The Cholera," are the other principal topics of remark or comment in the i journals of this morning. Abii. THE ';'"tKPRESS, when the armistice came ' witii the news 7 44"ti:iii wonderful week of Pruimian conquests. That came the naval battle off Lissa, a reverse infinitely more disappointing and discouraging than that of Custozes. Here was a fleet on which millions had been went, loans and taxes lavished, a fleet to which the building-yards of France, England, and America bad contributed their resources, and armed, it was supposed, with the most , destructive guns of the most recent invention, commanded by a gallant seaman of conside rable reputation, and capable, as all the world believed, of destroying every Austrian ship and fort within reach of its broadsides. After an inexplicable delay this fleet puts to sea, and while bombarding the forts of Lissa for two days in most gallant style, until the crews and ammunition are tolerably exhausted, is borne down upon by an Austrian squadron in ferior in number and calibre, and after a desperate _ . engagement, is burnt, sunk, or disabled sufficiently to enable the Austrians to claim a victory, and to compel the Italians not to dispute it. Assuredly, we cannot be surprised if the irritation and impatience of Italy have risen to ouch a paroxysm of rage, after such a succes sion of untoward enterprises and deplorable re sults, that the nation is half disposed to go on fighting for fighting's sake, rather than take the prize for which it fought from the mediation of an ally. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) TIM TRUCK DINAND ON PROWL. The Times considers that whatever share the Emperor of the French may have had in promoting, or in seeking to prevent, the war, no one can doubt that its result has been unforeseen and is peculiarly unwelcome and distasteful to him. He hoped to play the easy and glorious part of mediator between two great monarchies worn out with a long and equal struggle, and he finds himself, instead of this, confronted by a state flushed with conquest, and issuing from the war far stronger than it entered on it. The demand which the Emperor has made upon Prussia the Times regards as ill-timed, unprecedented (except in the case of the French demand on Italy), ungenerous, and unwise. If Prussia were ever so anxious to meet the wishes of France, such a concession is at this moment most difficult. She owes her splendid success mainly to the fact that she is not only the impersonation of force, but the embodiment of a principle. That prin ciple is the unity of the German race under one political organisation, the amalgamation of the small states into which the fatherland is parcelled out, and the making all Germany one land and one people. How can it be expected that a minister devoted to this single idea can at the very moment of its accomplishment, in the face of ell Germany and all Europe, cede to a foreign power a portion of Ger man territory? Such an act would in itself half undo all that has been done, and convince the German na tion that its destinies were in unworthy hands. The Emperor of the French has for once been baffled by events which no one foresaw. It is the lot of man, from which even his sagacity is not exempt. But he would turn a small check into a great calamity if he sought to heal one evil by another, and to plunge France into all the mi•eries of war in order to convince the world that he bad rot been mistaken. In politics as in business, it is often a good thing to know when to make a loss, and a check patiently encountered is often the parent of a more favour able opportunity. The Laity New, remarking as a notable circumstance the seeming abstinence of Russian diplomacy in the pre sent critical state of Central Europe, proceeds to observe that it will require the most delicate management on the part of Napoleon 111. to draw and keep to himself any share of that influence in Germany which Russia exercised for nearly half a century. If, indeed, French arbitration or mediation had been perfectly disinterested and accom panied by no demand of territory or implication of occult suzerainty, it might be borne with or accepted gratefully. But any advance to the Rhine on the part of France, or even a quasi-legitimate wish to shield or defend the minor states, can only appear to the Germans a resuscita tion of the old Napoleonic policy, which to them means only degradation and disgrace. The political labours of Napoleon 111. have resulted in the erection of two great military empires on his frontier—friendly, certainly, to him, and even grateful, but tolerably certain in future to present far more serious obstacles than before existed to an extension of French empire and dominion. That such barriers should be erected, and that the most agg.essive and domineering powers of Europe should be held ln check by others equally compact and formidable is, the Daily New believes, the very best of results. But that this should be to the taste of ambitious countries and restless rulers is scarcely to be expected. If the French claim, writes the Herald, is put forward only as a suggestion on the part of the French government, it will be open to the governments concerned to take is into consideration, or reject it, as they may think ads is able. If they reject what has not been asked, but only insinuated, they cannot give umbrage or any fair ground of quarrel to Napoleon 111. If it is put forward ass de mand, the case is altered. Belgium is not Along enou;b to refuse any demand made by France, but any compulsion put upon her will become a matter of European importance. France can need no guaran tees in the direction of Belgium, and an very well afford to do without Phillipeville and Marienburg. If France has formally demanded the cession of Saarlouis, or Landau, or both, it is because she feels sure that the demand will be complied with without a murmur. Her confidence can only have arisen from the fact of a distinct understanding to that effect between the Prussian and French governments before the commencement of this war. If no such understanding exists the demand for compensation is as rash as it is unjustifiable. France is running the risk of a collision e:th a power which has already made itself the terror of the Continent. The am bition to retrieve the consequences of the great disaster of 1815 is intelligible enough, and by no means discreditable to the French government. The Herald trusts, however, that it will be advised to keep such pretensions in abey ance, rather than press them at the risk of a general war in Europe. The Emperor Napoleon, says the Star, has hitherto walked in prudent paths. If the insensate jealousy or ambition of France should drive him to unsafe projects, to dismember Belgium, as some fear he now designs, or to insult Germany, another European war may result, as the war which ended at Waterloo resulted, in the disastrous fall of the unscrupulous ruler and the misguided people. There is strong reason to hope that no such consequence will follow on the step the Emperor has taken. It bears every mark of a previous moingement with the astute statesman who directs the policy of Prussia. to I NOWNLLANNOCII TOPICS. In an article devoted to the state of parties in the United States the Time believes it AM be a misfortune t o th e country if Mr. Johnson is sacrificed, and a still greater one if the radicals are able to dictate the choice for the next Presidential election. Fortunately, the Presi dent has a cabinet which is little likely to lead bim into excess, and the adroitness of the veteran politician who is always at his right band may save him from any serious mistake, even if his own excellent judgment fail him. Dealing with recent events in Mexico, the Daily News remarks that an incident of the short and sharp battle on 1 the plain of San Gertrudio—the desertion of an imperial battalion to the liberal', at the crisis of an engagement— shows the hollowneaa of the support which the Emperor has hitherto received from native Mexicans ; a support on which, to the credit of his intellizence, it must be ac knowledged he has not much relied. The Sierra Gorda regiment, after replying to the order to engage the liberals, and save the imperial artillery, with the cry of " Viva la Libertad," went over to the " enemy," i.e., to their own countrymen, and then turn ing upon their late companions, the " Austrians," as sisted in cutting them to pieces. It was the result of this action which decided the imperialist General Melia to abandon Matamoros, which could not be held with Mexi can troops on account of their propensity to desert. The situation of these men of the Sierra Gorda regiment, im perialist until the decisive moment, and then suddenly national, represents that of nine-tenths of the small body of imperialists in Mexico. All events point now to the speedy return of the Emperor Maximilian to Europe. The Poet concludes an article on the same subject as follows The French troops are quitting Mexico, and the „ DAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1866. T INTELLIGEN FRANCE AND PRUSSIA. The correspondent of the Temps at Berlin writes as follows, on the 11th : Business people begin to be seriously alarmed at the possibility of a conflict with Pianos, and public opinion is getting excited. The publication of a ministerial decree, which orders the immediate recommence ment of the operations of the revision commission which were suspended on the 29th of July has particularly tended to augment this apprehension. This measure is explained in official quarters by the desire to discharge as soon as possible all the Lndwebr troops and the troops of the line of two-end-a-half years' Barrios, but the public see in it • proof that the govern ment is preparing for serious events. As for me, I have good reasons for persisting in my opti mism. Ido not believe in the posaibffity of a conflict between Prussia and France. On the contrary, I believe es shall soon ass the proof of a formal Un dents/ding between both Powers. We have been made ac. quainted to-day with the address of the Chamber of Peers which contains this significant parssraph :—" We are in debted for having obtained such great results to the wisdom and firmness of your Majesty, and, as we willingly admit, to the mediation for preliminaries of peace of a foreign power who has with disinterestednessand with a just appreciation of the situation." I understand that Herr von Reutel, the chief person under Count Bismarck, and the director of the political business in the ministry of foreign affairs, took part in the sittings of the commission on the address, and that this sentence was inserted in the draft at the suggestion of this high functionary. The Efendard, which is generally considered at semi-official, says : What we can akin is that the negotiation commenced is being pursued on terms of the greatest cordiality between France and Prussia, the good understand ing between whom has not undergone any alters tion. We may therefore be permitted to hope for a solution which, without being a cau►e of discontent for Germany, may give to Fr►noe a security proportionate to the interior changes of Northern Germany, and to the public sentiment the satisfaction which has always been -wired to it by the policy, at the same time national and erste, of the Emperor.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO YORKSHIRE. Continuing their tour in Yorkshire, the Prince and Princess of Wales have arrived at Studley, whence Ws royal highness the Prince is to depart to-day for a week's shooting at Highforce, whilst her royal highness the Princess, together with the royal children, are during that period to remain the guests of the Earl and Countess De Grey and Ripon. The arrangements for the departure of the royal party from York appeared not to have been allowed to become generally known. On leaving Knaves mire the Prince and Princess returned to the inkier:mord palace at Birhopthorpe, whence, after a brief stay, they proceeded to Coproanthorpe, a small station on the North Pastern Railway, a few miles from York, where the train was in waiting under the care of Mr. Usher, the superin tendent of the Leeds district, who carried out the rail way arrangements. The little village close by seemed to be almost deserted, most of the rustics having betaken themselves to the review, and even the village inn was clamed for the day. Nevertheless, the few people remaining it home, who were surprised by the unexpected appear ance of the train at the station, flocked out to do honour to the ocemior. The royal party were escorted by a troop of Hussars, and on their ar.lval were enthusiartically cheered. 'Pi..., Prince wore his usual travelling costume, and the Princess was att'red in a blue dress. The suite con sist-it of Lieutenant-General Knollys, Major Tees . _ dale, V.C., the Honourable Mei- A. Harding. and their royal highnesses were also accompanied by Earl and Countess Granville. On alighting at the platform the prince and princess took leave of his Grace the Anthbishop of York and Mrs. Thomson ; then they at once stepped into the carriage, and the train moved off about a quarter past 6 o'clock in the direction of Church Fenton en route for Ripon end Harrogate. At Church Fenton the train was shunted for • moment or two in order to reverse the engine. The people on the platforms however, did not appear to be conscious of the near pre sence of royalty, and merely gazed with • little surprise without making any demonstration. At Harrogate the people seemed to be expecting the train, and as it passed quickly tbroush the station the assem bled crowd waved their hats and cheered vociferously. The train art:ved at Ripon shortly after half-past 7. In deference to what appeared to be the w;shes of their royal highneeses, there was no very great public demonstration, though of course a crowd of people congregated in and around the station. Beyond the temporary barrier on the platform were a large number of ladies and many of the principal gentry of the locality. On alighting the Prince and Princess were received, by the Earl and Countess l)e Grey and Ripon, the latter of whom affectionately warited the Prince-A, and there were also in waiting the Bishop of Ripon and the Rev. Canon Allay, D.D. The royal party drove off amid loud cheers and other demonstrations. On Saturday evening the town clerk of York received from General lEnollys the following reply (dated the Bth inst.) of the Prince of Wales to the address which was presented by the Lord Mayor on behalf of the Corporation to the Prince and Princess of Wales on their recent visit to the above city :—" My Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of the city of York,—l thank you for your address, and for the warm welcome the Princess and myself have received on our arrival in your ancient city. We are both very sensible of the affec tionate congratulations which, already offered to us on 00 marriage, you have now repeated on the occasion of our visit to York. The loyalty and devotion of your time hcaoured city to the throne of my family, and in par ticular to the person of the Queen, my dear mother, has ever been conspicuous, and cannot but be highly appre ciated by her Majesty. Were any proof of thew :senti ments of attachment to the crown end constitution of the country necessary, it might be found in that numerou s l i array of volunteers about to assemble within sight of your walls. My Lord Mayor and gentlemen, the recollection of our visit will never cease to be accompanied by the best wishes of the Princess and myself for the welfare and prosperity of your city and its inhabitants." His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Colonel the Hon. James Macdonald, C. 8., left Grim:tone Park, where the duke had been staying with Lard and Lady Loudeeborough, for General Hall's shooting quarters in the north of Yorkshire.

They have therefore willingly acquiesced in the new order of things, and it is only the party favourable to Denmark that has demanded foreign interven tion. It is the duty of all parties to endeavour avert this danger. Let their watchword be— ' No division !' " THE TYROL, PRIMOLANO, AUGUST 13.

The Temps has the following : If oar information from Rome is correct, the Pope is on the eve of taking, in anticipation of the term fired by the convention of Sept. lb, a determination not wanting in originality, and which, if realised, will certainly provoke long controversies and complications of more than one kind. After having announced his intention to the catho lic world in • solemn encyclical, his Holiness will write, report says, • letter to the Emperor Napoleon, in which he will offer to Land over to him, under the title of • vicari ate, the States of the Church. This treader would comprehend, be it observed, the provinces which Italy has annexed to herself in virtue of royal decrees, which the Holy See has never recognised and which the French government at first disavowed. The motives invoked by Pius IX. to justify this step are said to be the follow ing :—ln presence of the dangers incurred by the temporal power, the Holy Father cannot abandon the domain of St. Peter to the covetousness of the revolution ; and the Papacy, not being itself able to defend the possessions in. sured to it by the two founders of the Carlovingian dy nasty, can only place them in the hands of the heir of the donor, the successor of Pepin le Bret, the c►tholic prince par exec fence, his most Christian Majesty the Sovereign of France. The donor would thus resume, under a pro- visional title, and whilst waiting for days less troubled by impiety, the guardianship of the oonsensted provinces ; and just as the Pops is the spiritual vicar of Christ, the Emperor Napoleon 111. would become the temporal vicar of the Pope. Our readers will readily believe that we give this news under all reserve. JERKED BEEF. This morning was issued a report, presented to both Houses of Parliament, on the methods employed in the River Plate for curing meat for the Europe :n markets. The report is by Mr. F. C. Ford, dated Buenos Ayres, June 26, 1866. After estimating the horned cattle of the River Plate and its affluents at 22,003,000, and the sheep at 35,000,000, it quotes the opinion of a curer of 3D years' e xperience, that the failure in England of this salted beef is due rather to bad management than to any fault in the meat itself . The simple process adopted in the River Plate is to cut the meat into shoes of from one to two inches in thickness, to immerse it in strong brine, and lay it down in salt for two days, after which it was ready for shipment in • wet state. or if desired to be exported dry, to complete the operation by exposure to the sun. The great objec- tion to this olds of moat is that the greater portion of the nutritive qualities are carried away in the brine, but that the human frame will Li, rive on this aliment is shown by the stalwart form of the coloured population of the Brazils, who consume it largely. The difficulty, however, of inducing Europeans to adept such food, and the lucrative perspective held out to speculators, were a process discovered by which the meat of the River Plate could be conveyed 6,000 miles across the Atlantic and predated to the European consumer in a tempting and palatable form at a cheap rate, have induced Mr. J. Morgan, Professor of Anatomy in the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Baron von Liebisr, of Munich, and Mr. Sloper, of London, apart from philanthropic motives, to devote their attention to the subject. Mr. Morgan's process has already been attended with some success, 500.0001 be. of beet and mutton cured upon his principle having been imported into Liverpool last year, and enerly purchased at 4d. per pound. This meat bears a close resemblance to English copra beef. Mr. Morgan adopts the circulatory system of the body as a means of introducing the brine into the tissues. The meat when cured is packed in barrels containing 2201b5. each, which can be purchased in Liverpool for Si. 16s. each. Baron Liebig's system is to reduce the meat to an essence-331bs. being reduced tr 11b., which is sufficient to MAO broth for 128 men. A tin can of this essence can be sold in London for 12s. 61. Mr. Sloper, who with Mr. E. Paris has a patent for the whole of South America, proposes to preserve the meat and send it to England in its pure and raw state, in the condition of butcher's meat just killed, to be disposed of at the rate of from 4d. to sd. per lb. All bone is extracted, but the fat is left, and the process is based upon the destruction of oxygen in the vessel in which the meat is packed. To carry out the first two processes companies have been formed, and for the third a company is intended to be ,stablishecL Errairsis SELUIPZIIB lig FRANCE. We have already mentioned that • cronsiderable sum of money was carried off at the Deauville races by some blacklegs from England. It appears that one of these pests of the Eng lish turf, named Harry Jones, alias Davis, made his ap pearance on the racecourse in question on the Saturday and Sunday, accompanied by some more of the fraternity. They had taken up their quarters at • first-class ho'-ei, where, however, they left the bill unpaid. Jon - superintended the betting list, neatly •- ranged, in • carriage, under the name of Monis and Co., 126, Regent-street. Sunday, it appears, was fize4 upon by these scamps for their grand coup, and as soon 's+ the races commenced, Mr. Jones explained to the public in French that the best race to bet upon was the steeplechaee, the las. ; and consequently Morris and Co. received a gooddealof money, about 6,000 fr. we understand. Whilst • dead heat was being run off, and just prior to the steeplechase, Mr. Jones informed an old Jew who was selling sticks on the course that his friends and himself were going to take some refreshment, and that, if he would fate care of the conveyance, representing the esta blishment of Morris and Co., he would reward him with sve franca. Our readers can imagine where Mr. Harry Jones with his friends went to, and they can likewise imagine the position of the poor Israelite when the backers of Valentino canto howling for their money at the im promptu bank of Morris and Co. The police were sent after the fellows, but these latter contrived to reach Dieppe, where Jores was arrested at the moment he wee embarking for Newhaven, en route for Brighton races. He has undergone an interrogatory and been remanded for • week.—Oatirrani. FILENCH Poxrrerrarsa.—An extraordinary escape from prison, followed, however, by recapture, has just taken place at Taramoon (Roaches-du-Rhone). A man named Lapallu had been arrested for robbery although only recently liberated after undergoing • sentence of twelve years' hard labour, and bad been confined in the tower of the old castle of the town. Five other prisoners slept in the same room, and all having agreed to attempt to get away, they contrived to re move • bar from the window, and then tied together the sheets of all the beds torn into strips. Lapallu was the first to descend by this impromptu rope, but it presently gave way, and be fell from a height of about 50 feet into a dry moat, The noise attracted the attention of the gaolers, and the remaining prisoner. were put into irons, but Lapallu had got clear elf, leaving marks of blood where he had fallen. Some days later, M. De risme', Procureur-Imperial of lampoon, was crossing the bridge between that town and Beaueaire, when he met a man whose head was bound up with linen and wive ap peared to walk with difficulty. M. Devismes at mace re cognised Lerpallu, but, being with his wife, he s e tnry , asked the man whether he was in want ofe ewe and offered to get him into the hospital. Liptak, who also knew the Procureur-Imperial by sight, declined with thanks and immediatelymade of in an oppoeLe dime- tion. M. Devises at once gave notice to the gendarmes,' and Lapallu being followed was overtaken at • fountain where he had stopped to drink, and was recaptured. After his return to prison he wrote to the Procnreur-Imperial to compliment him on the presence of mind he had shown when they met on the bridge, and the latter, not to be outdone in politeness, is said to have since sent to the pri soner • few bottles of good wine, of which Lapallu was greatly in need to recover his strength. Yesterday, at the Leeds assizes, Cotnam Towns end, a member of the Doncaster Town Council, who was indicted at the last assizes for perjury, but liberated in consequence of the inability of the jury to agree to • verdict, was again charged with the offence, but Mr. Justice Smith, who presided, ruled that the proceedings before the magistrate!
