Tux working men of Lancashire are entitled to general support, for there is no doubt that their suf ferings are the salvation of the country. It is oh vious that nothing but tho severest pressure would have availed to turn away the eyes of the manufac turers from America as the source of their supply. All know from experience the extreme difficulty of introducing into any trade a new article, and the indifference hitherto shown by the Cotton-spinners has been accepted as a complete proof that • competing article could not be procured, and that the variation in fibre was such as to render the production of other countries useless in our mills. These objections are now found to apply only par tially to several extensive fields, and not at all to others, and yet with an increasing trade and a diminishing supply, the Cotton Lords, as a rule, still remain comparatively inactive, if not indif ferent spectators of the efforts made to obtain the raw material. Now it is by sheer acci dent or Providence that we have been deli vered from a national calamity. If the voice of those who from sympathy with the Southerners as assumed "gentlemen," in contradistinction to the traders of the North, urged a recognition of the Southern Confederacy, had been listened to; if the diatribes continually and for months poured out upon the Government of the United States, the sneers cast upon it when unsuccessful, the accusations of et-deity and bloodshed hurled against it when the fortunes of war were in its favour, had led that Government into some act of hasty aggression which would have compelled hostile action on the part of our Government— a result which was unquestionably the real object of the style of writing which has been indulged in; or even if the Prophet at Sheffield, whose thin and wiry voice had one claim to credence, inasmuch as it was never heard to utter smooth things, except to shareholders in banks and other sublunary undertakings where his pure and heavenly spirit might naturally be misled—if he by his earnest in vective had availed to alter the decision of the Cabinet—then in either or any other conceivable alternative, it is clear that in proportion to the degree of immediate relief afforded to our manu facturing districts, the reliance of the manufac turer would have been placed upon the old fields ; and India, Australia, Jamaica, and the numerous other sources open to us would have remained unimproved. Now, what would have been the result of this t No one would have believed that it was the urgent need of vindicatingour national honour whichcauaed the recognition of the Southern Confederacy. None would have known better than the Southern States that we had in fact bartered our national honour for relief to our population and the addi tion of wealth to the state in the persons of our manufacturers. But they would have learnt a still more fatal lesson. They would have been taught that we were dependent on them, and that if to augment their supply of cotton they thought it expedient to extend the area of slavery, Eng land must be a consenting party, even if it cost her the abandonment of those West Indian Colonies which it cost her 20,000,000!. to conse crate to freedom. We have been foolish, and are now paying a heavy penalty for our folly, but it is impossible to calculate the consequences which must have resulted from the political crime to which we have been urged. It is really appalling to contemplate the narrow escape we have had from national degradation and loss ; and it is consoling to think that so little exertion is necessary to bring about a brighter period than has existed in this land at any time during the present century. Towards the relief of the sufferings of the manu facturing population the employers of labour are not called to help more than any other class. The nation only requires to be told what is wanted, and the money would be forthcoming without delay. It is now comparatively easy to calculate the extreme amount which during the next nine months may by possibility be required. Let that amount be authoritatively stated, and as • guarantee fund it would forthwith be raised. If a number of sub scribers offered, for instance, to pay 10/. per month for the following nine months, it would be a most gratifying intelligence at any time that their next monthly subscription was not required—not as saving them so much, but as • proof that the waters of the flood of distress were abating. There are numbers in all parts who would gladly take part in such an united effort. But to the manufacturers the public look for united action in this emergency. They are known as a class to be possessed of large means and of great intelligence. Though it may be unreasonable to expect that they should incur all the risk of opening up new sources of supply, still, as it is upon their custom that the success of any such new supply must depend, the public have • right to demand the guarantee that their pro minent union in such enterprises would afford. The cotton fields which alone can be permanently cultivated with success are such as in ordinary times can be cultivated with a remunerating pro fit, and the existence of these conditions would be assured in any enterprises in which the names of well-known manufacturers were found as the pro moters, and as subscribers for • definite propor tion of the capital. The work is so large as to need joint-stock exertion, and the public would, we are sure, come in with any amount of capital if assured of the bond pc character of such undertakings by the means above indicated. We are not advocating any par ticular scheme or place. One country or colony may have preferences over the other. But upon these points the Manchester men ought to he able to form the best judgment, and until the schemes THW which have been brought forward are backed by those who by interest and knowledge are proper to take part in them, the public will be doubtful.

INLAND RzvmeuL—The sixth report of the commissioners has beenpublished this morning. The net receipts from excise duties for the year 1861.2 were 18,275,3001., being a reduction of 1,259,1421. on those of the previous year. Of spirits, the number of gallons charged with duty was 19,045,844 a reduction of 201,984. No fewer than 3,926,242 gallons have been exported, being an increase of 1,731,211, the exports to France alone having risen from 440,917 to 1,912,387 ; and those to Portugal from 569,124 to 983,985. The number of detections for illicit distillation has risen in England from 111 to 114, in Scotland from 18 to 23, and in Ireland from 1,589 to 2,122. The number of bushels of malt charged with duty was 45,555,946, an increase of 8,187,230. The drawback paid on paper at the repeal of the duty amounted to no less than 445,6504 The reripts from stamps were 8,580,5974, being an in crease of 219,8081. The largest items of increase under that bead were legacy and succession tax, 104,5251., and fire insurances, 39,3024 The laud and armee& taxes showed a decreer of 9,3611. The receipts from property and income tax were in 1860.61, 10,957,0604 This was at 10d. in the pound. Last year they were 10,471,2071., at 98. in the pound. The nomad/wieners state that a firm having returned its profite as nil was charged at the rate of 12,0001. They appealed, were proved from their own books to have made more than that sum, and were fined treble duty. Ixt another ease the commissioners raised the return of a person from 15,0001. to 20,0304 The following year he made no return at all and the commissioners charged him at the rate of 45,0001. Again he made no return, and the commissioners raised the amount to 60,000/., oo which he paid without sppesl The commissioners state that "3,0001. appeals to be a favourite amount for aressmonts." In two care of this kinds they successfully raised the sum to 8,0001. and to 10,0001. CHURCH Rammt.—Mr. Newdegate's bill for com mutation of church rates iuto an annual charge upon pro perty of 2d. in the pound has been issued thin morning from the Parliamentary Paper-office. PROROGATION OF CONFOOATION.—(THIS DAY.) — This morning Dr. Traven Twiny vicar-general of the pre view of Canterbury, attended at the Jerusalem Chamber, Dean's-yard, Westminster, under • commission from the archbishop, for the purpose of proroguing both houses of Convocation of the province of Canterbury. The ceremony, as is usually the case on such oceasioes, was of a very sim ple character, no prolocutor, proctors, or clerical represent atives of any kind being present. Mr. F. H. Dyke, the principal registrar of the province, read the 001:0131;14i00, after which the vicar-general pronounced the Convocation of Canterbury prorogued until Saturday, Oct. 25. Tan NEW CANON or SALISBURY.—The lay vicars of the cathedral church of Salisbury, of which the Rev. Mr. Lear, the new canon, has been for some time chancel lor, have presented him with au address, in which they heartily congratulate him on his appointment to the canonry, which became vacant by the death of Archdeacon Macdonald. They state that it is with painful regret that they have observed the unkind imputations which have appeared on his appointment in the columns of the public press ; and the new canoe assured them that be did not feel the imputations on his own account half so much as he did for those who were near and dear to him. He added that he hoped to do nothing uncharitable with regard to the matter, so that when the present trial had passed away he might have nothing painful to reflect upon. INTENDED VISIT OF LORD PALMERSTON TO SOUTH AMPTON. —Lord Palmerston has consented to attend and take a leading part in the opening ceremonial of the Hartley In stitution, the foundation stone of which building was kid by his lordship on the Bth of January, 1861 The inaugura -1 tion will take place at the latter end of the ensuing month of September, sod the arrangements making by the mayor of the borough (Mr. Frederick Perkins) will, it is believed, insure a literary and scientific gathering worthy of the oc casion end of the distinguished visitor, who, for the second time in the course of two years, will honour the town with his presence in connexion with educational stetter. Dr. Francis T. Bond, late Professor of Chemistry and Dean of the Faculty in Queen's College, Birmingham, has been elected by the Town Council to the office of Principal Libra rian and Curator, sod the working machinery of the insti tution will soon be put in operation. PROPOSED BANQUET TO LORD PALMERSTON AT DERBT.—In about a fortnight it is expected that the noble Premier will pay a visit to the extensive estates of Lady Palmenton in Derbyshire, and It is sated that the leading inhabitants of Derby have resolved upon inviting his lord ship to • grand banquet on a day to be selected during his lordship's stay in the county. TazirzstrLECHUßCH.—The whole of the exterior of the northern side of the western or round portion of the Temple Church is being thoroughly restored. Unlike the southern portion of the round church, which was repaired some years back, when it was faced with smoothly-dressed stone, the original character of the work and materials of the portion of this fine example of ancient church architecture now undergoing repair has been retained. The rubble work of the wall and buttresses is being made good where neces sary and repointed. All the defective portions in the dressings of the buttresses and the jambs and arches of the windows are being replaced with Bath and Caen stone, and the ornamental pilaster of the windows w , th Mansfield stone. The old windows of this side of the build ing have been taken out and the openings filled with oom. mon glass, but it is expected that, after a time, they will be replaced with ornamental stained glass. The western porch, which abuts upon Inner Temple-lane, is also being restored. Buttresses of Portland stone are being erected OD the foundation of the old ones, and the porch itself will be covered with a leaded gable roof. The work is being done by Messrs. Walcot, under the direction of Mr. Medi* sad for the architects of the Temple, Megrim St. Aubyn and Smirks. The diurch will be opined for divine sorties ea Snaky, the fish of October.

TURIN, AUGUST 21, 11 A.m. Sicily has been proclaimed in a state of siege. The Opinions of to-day publiabes a report that Garibaldi has appointed Nicotera Prefect of Ca tania. lotelligenoe from Messina gives rise to a belief that Catania will be blockaded. Other intelligence states that the fleet was off Trapani. TURIN, Ammer 21. The Discussione of to-day publishes a telegram announcing that the entry of Garibaldi into Catania took place without any conflict, the city being denuded of troops. The same paper mentions a rumour that Gari baldi will soon embark. TURIN, At701:18? 2D, EVENING. To-day, in the Senate, Signor Giuline requested an explanation from the government of the recent eventa in Sicily. Signor Rattazzi replied that the govern ment considered Garibaldi in a state of re bellion, nad the situation of Sicily grave ; but hoped that the difficulties would be surmounted. Signor Rattazzi also stated that according to intel ligence received from Messina the communication between Catania and other towns was interrupted. General Mella, believing it to be the intention of Garibaldi to proceed to Messina, had intercepted the approach to that city. Garibaldi, however, profiting by the distance of the royal troops, rapidly directed his march towards Catania. The Government had sent troops to Catania, and the fleet being in the waters off the town to oppose any embarkation or disembarkation of Volunteers, it wan hoped that in a few days Sicily would be re stored to its normal condition. The Senate, after hearing Signor Rattazzi's ex planations, adopted the following resolution : " The Senate, convinced that the Minister will act with the greatest energy in order that the law and dignity of the crown and parliament be maintained intact, passes to the order of the day." The Chamber of Deputies and the Senate will assemble to-morrow in extraordinary sitting, in order to receive a communication from the Govern ment. FRANCE. PARIS, Armen 21. The Moniteur of to-day says :—" The Emperor has written a letter to M. Chain d'Est-Ange, as suring him that the sentiments his Majesty enter tains towards him aro unchanged, and that he will won be called,to the Senate." The Constitutionnei of to-day publishes the following statement, signed by its secretary, M. Bonifaee :—" We are authorised to give a denial to the telegram from Rome relative to a declaration alleged to have been made by the Marquis de Lava lette to the Pope. It is understood that as long as our troops are at Rome the Holy Father will have nothing to fear from an invasion. It was, there fore, not necessary to inform his Holiness of the fact of the two declarations contained in the tele gram ; one is, therefore, superfluous, and the other is contrary to the policy which the Marquis de La valette represents at Rome." AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, AUGUST 21. The Hamburg and American Company's steam ship 4 Saxonia, Captain Elhers, from New York on the 9th inst., has arrived off Cowes. She brings 362 passengers, 2e9,308 dols. in specie for England, 96,627 dole. for France, and 10,000 dole, for Hamburg. On the 11th inst. she spoke the steamer Bavaria, bound for New York, and on the 14th the steamer Glasgow, steering eastward. Her news has been anticipated. ITALY. LETTER OF MAZZINI. The Nord publishes the following letter from Marsini to the Emancipation Society of Rieei, a province of Catanisetta, with the observation that, in the skilful moderation of its language, it strangely resembles the programme of Garibaldi : Brothers,—l havereeeived with gratitude the nomination with which you have just honoured me. I write toyou these few lines while your island resounds with noble voices an nouncing generous projects. You have never broken your pro mise, and you will not break it now that it is a question of life or death—to be or not to be. You have said, "Rome or death ;" and when • people like yours accepts this motto from • man bearing the name of Garibaldi it re. valves either to translate it into action, or Was to stand dishonoured in its own eyes, and in those of Europe. But you cannot dishonour yourselves. Act then, act against every obstacle. In Rome is the unity of the country ;at Rome is the legislation which is to cure our wounds ; at Rome is your recognition, not by the despots who exist now but who to-morrow will fall, but by the people who live eternally; at Rome, tr.oreover, is the Italian aspiration, restrained until now by a miserable association dependent in its counsels en the foreigner. The government which, not acting itself, says to you, "Do not act," and displays against the aroused Italian people an energy which it ought to exert against the enemies of the nation and of unity, merits not respect. The Italian govern ' ment is in you. It is where honour, duty, and the minim of Italy are comprehended. If, I will not say hi France or is England, but in little Switzerland, the foreigner occupied the town, everybody would hasten to drive him away. Shall Italy, beinferior !—ltaly, which has twenty. two millions of free men—ltaly, which has risen up again, and which wants to present herself to her sister nations with • baptism of glory—ltaly, which is pledged lystare them by • solemn and unanimous cry ? Adieu, my brothers. JOSEPH MAZZEIL London, August 5. The Official Gazette of Turin publishes the two following decrees, signed by King Victor Emma nuel and M. Rattazzi, the first being dated the 12th and the second the 15th instant : Considering the existing circumstances of Sicily, and judg ing it necersary while the present extraordinary state of things shall last in that island, to concentrate under one authority the supreme military and political government, we have ordered and do order as follows :-1. That Major. General Chevalier Elisio Cog* the military commandant of the island, shall assume, provisionally and till otherwise ordered, the political government. 2. That all prefects and other authorities shall take their instructions from the Prefect of Palermo, Chevalier Cugia, in anything that con cerns political matters in their respective province.. Considering that the existing state of things likewise counsels a similar concentration in the Neapolitan pro- Yining, we have ordered, and do order That General Chevalier Alfonso Ferraro Dell► Marmon, prefect of Naples, and commandant-general of the 6th military de partment, shall provisionally assume the political govern ment of all those provinces. SERVIA. The Patric states that the following are the pre sent results of the conference at Constantinople on the affairs of Servia :—The question of the rayon of the fortress of Belgrade is settled ; the Turkish government demanded an extension of the glacis on the southern side at the expense of the mixed city. This demand was opposed by the representa tives of England and Austria ; the Servian govern ment having declared that it would never consent to this proposal, it has been decided that the exist ing limit shall be retained, but that on the eastern aide it shall be lessened in extent. No agreement has been come to as to the guarantees demanded , 1 , IAY EVENING AUGUST b , 21 1 , 1862. by France and Russia against a repetition of such a deplorable event as the bombardment of the city in June. It is understood, however, that these guarantees are to be moral, not material. Alto gether the state of affairs in Servia is described as improving. Opinion Nationale, a good authority, boldly asserts its incredulity of the fact, and for three reasons : i "1. Such a step is diametrically opposed to the in- ! tercets of France and of the imperial government ; 2. Even admitting (which we do not) that the Em- I peror intended to follow the policy indicated in the despatch, it appears to us impossible that the Em peror should choose a moment like the present to' make the announcement, for to do so would be to revolutionise Italy ; 3, and lastly. The assurance stated to have been given to the Pope by M. de ! Lavalette is refuted by the denials and disavowals given to the new journal La France, precisely for having supported this opinion." The fêtes in Milan and Naples on the 15th are remarkable as orderly demonstrations of public; feeling in favour of Victor Emmanuel and Gari- ; baldi. It is observed that the former city, so French in its tendencies, did not display a single French flag, and that even the French consul I avoided raising the French tricolor, lest the anger I I of the people should be excited at the sight of what typifies to them less the victor of Solferino than the guardian of the Pope. At the Bourse the news of Garibaldi's arrival at Catania was counterbalanced by the favourable state of the funds in Turin. Rentes rose 10c. for cash, leaving off at 68fr. 85c., and 68fr. 95c. for ac count. Little doing. The return of fine weather has sent people out of town. ITALY. (nos ous OWN TURIN, Avourr 17. I have told you that a priest and pretended demagogue was arrested in Naples ; that a letter directed to Cardinal Autonelli was found upon him, and that he attempted to commit suicide in prison. I now send you the letter : Eminentissimo Signor Cardinale,—lt is of little import ance to the happy issue of the business I propene to you, in the interest of the church of Italy, that I should set forth the motives which have determined me to ass the very great influence I posers in the party of action for the purpose of making that party the unconscious instrument of • crisis which will wry as once more into the ways of right and order, to be re-established on the bases traced by the treaty of Villsfranai. Briefly then, to arrive at these resulta, the only ones which can reconcile the in terests of the present situation with the past, and those of the church with the exigencies of progressive civilisation, I proceed to lay my plan before your Eminence, telling you frankly that if it be not speedily accepted religion and the country will be lost together. It is expedient to stimulate republican passions against Piedmontisra. A revolution in this seem la ripe in Naplee. Let the friends of the past make a show of supporting it energetically. It is expedient to let the red revolutionary torrent widen and overflow in the act of laying hands on the French ; this will frighten Napoleon, and he will be forced to change his policy, and resolve in earnest that the treaty of Villafranca shall be a reality, The mode of applying the conditions of that treaty to the exigencies of the present time, sad according to the modified situation of the several Italian states, will be matter for future discussion ; for the present, what is neon wary is to give a helping hand to the disorder which is to bring back order. Furthermore, it were well that your Eminence should I clearly understand that Venetia must be governed sepa rately by an archduke ; that it will be expedient to adopt a system sincerely federal and constitutional, of which Rome will be the centre, and to reform the discipline of the church through the prompt convocation of an ecumenic council: If your Eminencetwill confide in me I can gua rantee to give you here complete revolution. Ido not wish to be in direct communication with any of the parti sans of King Francis ; it is enough that they be instructed that when the moment of action is come they are to supply the aid of persons who shall not excite suspicion amongst my partisans. HOT, those blessed Bourbonist com mittees snake very gross blunders, and squander so lunch mosey to no purpose. Your Emieenos may write to me under the addrese-- Signor Giovanni Ferretti, Postoffice, Naples. We shall then arrange whether it will be conveetent that you should used, or make known to me here, a person fully in your confidence and mine, through whom the affair may be beet Carried on. In my next I will tell you where are the revolutionary committees of Rome, Veßotel, Albano, Viterbo, and of whom they comet. Trust for trust. Not to lose time, and that I may have a proof that this offer of mine is taken into consideration, your Eminence will send me to the above address in such a way sa shall seem to you safest and most convenient, a sum the amount of which I leave to your discretion, the same being necessary to put in motion forthwith the forces which are to produce that crisis through which alone this cursedly tangled skein can be unravelled. You may send the money in note* of the Roman bank, by sea post, or through some banker of Rome, taking care, however, that in sending it that the name of your Eminence shall in nowise appear. Kissing your sacred purple 1 declare myself your most devoted, GIOVANNI FrAILITFI. You shall know my real name presently. As the writer of this letter spent a part of his wicked life in London, you may like to know more of the man than you will find in any of the Italian journals. I therefore send you au outline of his biography. He is a native of Valle, near Belluno, and his real name is De CoL He studied at Padua, and was ordained a priest in 1846, so that his age is not yet 40. In the commotion of 1848-9 lie appeared a warm patriot. When the fortunes of Italy fell at Novara he remained with the emigrants in Piedmont, and was always found among the most ardent of them, some of whom afterwards unmasked themselves as agents of Austria. One of these was Perego, at present director of the Official Gazette of Verona. When Massimo d'Azeglio began to weed the emigra tion, De Col started for London, went over to the church of England, and got a g ood deal of money out of the protestant clergymen, who thought they had done a fine thing in converting this pions priest ; but when his dissolute life became known to them they closed their purses. He then left England, and went with an Austrian passport direct to Rome, where he presented himself to the Pope, declaring himself deeply penitent, and ready to serve the good cause with the utmost zeal. Fur nished with recommendations from the Pope he re turned to Belluno, where, to the astonishment of everybody, he was not molested in any way what ever. But the second part of his life was not more edifying than the first, and having broken the domestic peace of some families, he was shut up for a while by the police in the lunatic asylum at San Servolo in Venetia. Afterwards, on the approach of the war of 1859, the police let him out, and its subordinates were ordered to allow him to speak freely, under the pretence that he was insane , but in reality, for the purpose of using him as a decoy, and discovering the plans of the liberals through his instrumentality. He moved about in Lombardy and the Emilia, always consorting with the extreme liberals, and especially with the emigrants, and finally he went to Naples, where he pursued the same system up to the day of his arrest. The religious ceremony which used to take place on St. Napoleon's Day, wherever there was any re presentative of the French government, wu omitted this year, because the French officials had received information that arrangements bad been made in Genoa and Milan for • demonstration against the Emperor, which was to be simultaneous with the religious celebration. A letter from Kehl states that four English gen tlemen, aooonipanied by one servant, arrived at that plane three days since front Hada, haring &mended the Rhine la a very light boat of their own, about 40 feet and little more than feet wide.

SERVIAN AFFAIRS. The following despatches have pulsed between our own and the Servian government : EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mom ooa owl coßazeroromr.) PARIS. WEDIKODAY Emma. Opinions among the initiated are unanimous on the subject of the new journal, La France. The whole thing has been a mystification. M de la Guerronniere, as a senator, is a shelved man—his light is put out—ho wearies of this existence under 1 , a bushel—his soul pants for publicity ; so a sub scription is opened among influential parties for the purpose of founding a new newspaper. A million is soon formed, and 30,000 fr. named as the salary of the political director. A new newspaper requires a drapeau. M. de ls. Guerronnihre's antecedents as the collaborateur of an imperial pamphleteer at once indicate what that drapeau shall be. La France, edited by Viscount de la Guerronnihre, must be semi-official or nothing. But there are already three semi-official organs. How are the Oonstifs tionnel, the Patrie, and the Pays to be overridden ? Why, simply by audaciously and mendaciously at once opening business as the only original Jarley. then, with the colours !—Russian alli ance!—Permanent occupation of Rome ! The train was fired, and certainly the first ex plosion was such as to answer to the expectations of the bombardiers. But the result proves that they reckoned without "the cabinet of the Emperor," and so are "hoist with their own petard." We shall very soon see La France sink down to a level with the Pays. But what of that ? It has a capital of a million. It is a handsome, well-printed sheet. Its Monday's number will always secure a sale by reason of M. Fioretino's ' signature, and, to sum up all, it brings in to M. de Guerronnihre a salary of 30,000 francs, just as much as his pay as a senator of the empire. Meantime its appearance has been attended with one remarkable result. The entire press of Paris, with the exception of the clerioo-legitimiat triad, is banded in one common condemnation of its detestable principles. This La France itself admits. Now, the entire Parisian preen, always excepting the aforesaid clerico-legitimist triad, may fairly be taken as representing the opinion of the i great mass of the country at large. The journal La France, therefore, by its own admission, advo cates principles odious to the country at large. And, to go s step further, if La France represents, as it claims to do, the opinion of the French government, then have we the government and the country in direct anta gonism to one another : a supposition inadmissible for a single moment in a country governed on the principle of universal suffrage. To be sure, profes sion and practice do not always jog on part passe under this same universal suffrage. M. de Jouve nel, doubtless, thought that as this principle had sent him to the Chamber of Deputies, he went there in behalf of the interests of his constituents l and of the country at large. Now this view of his duties obliged him, as reporter of the project of law which your readers will remember the Emperor tried to get passed for settling 50,000 franca a year upon the Count de Palikao, to place upon record his own and the committee's condemnation of such project of law. Well, it sow appears that such was not the view taken by the Emperor and his government of the duties of a deputy ; for, to the scandal of the public, the Minister of the Interior has removed M. de Jouvenel from his post of president of the Council-General of In Cor rege. This is an act as impolitic as it is illiberal ; and a hope is even expressed that the removal will be reconsidered by the eccen tric minister, if not cancelled by his more prudent master. It is not probable that M. de Jouvenel will consent to retain his presidency after such an expression of governmental spite ; but it will be well, so think the friends of the government, that the door be held open for him. The perplexity of the imperial protector of Italy and of the Pope is a theme constantly dwelt upon by politicians. For my own part, I believe he is simply biding his time and watching events. He must long since have become convinced of the inability of the Italian government to stem the current of public opinion, and must be prepared to see that government take in its oars and float down the stream in the direction of Rome. He has always trusted to the unforeseen in the solution of the Roman question ; and here we have the unforeseen hard and fast upon us—in the Garibaldian insurrection, let us say, for want of a better term. What can he do but wait ? If the Italian government choose to send him over Garibaldi in chains, well and good. But if the Italian government refuses to beard the lion— wherein they are quite right—he can do little but send good advice and wait to see what turns up. Although 1 must confess I have no great faith in his adoption of the joint-occupation prin ciple, I cannot shut my eyes to the fact that ex ceedingly dispassionate men and exceedingly well informed men are convinced that such will be the mode in which the solution will be commenced. Assuming them to be in the right, it may be that even this measure, if delayed too long, may come to be viewed as an insufficient instalment. It would probably now satisfy Garibaldi, and send him back to Caprera. A month, a week, a few days even, hence, it may be too late. Events are hurrying on very rapidly. I believe no weight what ever must be attributed to the cooked accounts" sent from Turin, which represent the popular feel ing in favour of Garibaldi as subsiding. Facts speak for themselves. Garibaldi has been allowed to reach a sea-port, Catania. Why was he allowed to reach it 1 With 30,000 regular troops in the island, could not General Cugia have prevented hie reaching it, had he been so minded 1 The truth is, the government either dares not or does not throw any serious impediment in Garibaldi's way. Ho has the great heart of the country with him. Civil war is the last description of war he medi tates. " Victor Emmanuel !" is still his cry. There is no sedition, no breath of civil war in his cry of "Rome or death !" for these are the words that find a direct response in the heart alike of Victor Emmanuel, and of the youngest red shirt that shoulders a musket among Garibaldi's own followers. And now comes the question, will Garibaldi be allowed to leave Catania 1 The situa tion is palpitating. Catania, a city containing 60,000 inhabitants, is barricaded by the people against the army. The National Guard has declared for him. Nicotera has undertaken the political dire,- lion of matters, but the port is blockaded by the royal fleet and General Ricotti's troops. A few hours will inform us. I believe little faith must be placed in the tele gram just received stating that the French ambas sador had waited upon the Pope, and had assured him of the intention of his government to main tain the integrity of the Pontifical territory. The PRINCE MICHAKL TO GAL AUIBL.L. Belgrade, June 29 (July 9), 1862. My Lord, —The government of her Majesty the Queen is aware of the violence and aggression of which the riervian people have recently been the victim. At a tame when my officials were making every possible effort to maintain order and mime the public tranquillity, a bombard meat, without example in history, in defiance of all laws human and Divine, without any warning, with out even any motive, as has been agreed by the consular body, threw terror into the population and transformed the capital of my country, the centre of the commerce and wealth of all Servia, into a deserted and ruined town. The trait of so much labour, the fortunes of thousands o f families have been destroyed and lost, a city hitherto pros perous has been driven backwards 20 years, and God alone knows how and when it will be possible to repair this great evil which has come upon us in the midst of profound peace, when, on the falth of treaties and under the guano. tee of the European Powers. we thought ourselves in perfect security. Tree, my lord, to all the laws of good faith, I did not hesitate to repress the natural enthusiasm of my people foe their brethren of the Herzegovina and of Bosnia, and even to make aserifloes trying to my feelings (dduldureuz d mon exurb with the sole;object of failing in no respect in my duty of loyalty towards the suzerain, and of preventing el. Wier complications and disasters. In acting thus, my lord, I was very far from thinking that the ruin of the town of Belgrade and the lamentable con sequences which result from it would be the recompense of such conduct. I beg your lordship to judge yourself whether it is pos. sage for Sonia to resign herself to so desperate s fate. Cm the government of her Majesty the Queen leave the country a prey to continual terror, at the mercy of the most simple accident, or Well of pure chance Can it, above all, undo the work of humanity and civilieation which it has, up to the present time, in common with other power', guaranteed and encouraged in Sonia! I should fear to trespeas too long on your attention, my Iced, in submitting to your consideration all that I have to may on this important subject. The government of her Majesty the Queen, also, is acquainted with my claims. I confine myself, therefore, here to a special appeal to the kindness of your lordship in favour of my just complaints, and to a prayer, through your mediation, to the govern ment of her Majesty not to leave Serves in this extreme danger without her powerful assistance. The security, the peace, and the happiness of a million inhabitants depend for their safety upon the arrangements; that the govern ment of Great Britain is called upon to make, in common with the Sublime Porte and the guaranteeing powers, for Ipteeerving Seevia and the general peace of the Ottoman empire (rem such catastrophes. In earnestly begging your lordships to give your power ful support to the cause of my country, I pity you, tee., (Signed) M. W. Onannovtrecs. EARL RUSSELL TO PRIEM MICHAEL OBILEROVITSCH. Foreign-office, July 53, - - - Priace,—The government of her Majesty the Queen have heard with great concern of the events which have takes place at Belgrade. It appears that an attack was made by the Punkas oa the gates of the town, occupied by the Turks in virtue cif ancient usage and recent treaties, especially the Treaty at Paris of 1856. - - - Two of these gates having been carried by assault, the consuls persuaded the Turks to evacuate the remaining two, in all four gates. But no sooner had the Turkish residents left their houses than those houses were plundered by a disorderly mob. For this pillage and disorder no redress was offered by the Servian authorities, and the next morning musket• were fired at the garrison in the citadel. Upon this occurrence the pasha took the alarm, and map advisedly, and, as it appears to her Majesty's government, unjustifiably, bombarded the town at intervals for four bourn .. . . • It is no wonder that peaceable inhabitanta were seised with peak and left the town. Bat, so far as her Majesty's government are informed. these lamentable events had their origin in the viol►tion by the SCRTialle of the relations established by treaties between the Sublime Potte and Servia. . . . • Your Highness assumes merit for not having joined in the insurrection of the Herzegovio,. Your Highness deserves the credit of having, in that respect, shown regard to the obligations of good faith. If your Highness will, in the same spirit, conform to the duties imposed open you by European treaties, her Majesty's government will most willingly use their idiocies with the Sublime Porte for the improvement of the condition of a million of Berrien', in whose welfare her Majesty the Queen takes a deep interest. But so long as ill-intentioned persons are allowed to draw your Messer into measures of defiance and of violence, in open violation and contempt of solemn treaties, it is im possible that her Majesty's government can ask the Sultan to give to his enemies means for assailing the security of his empire.-1 am, 3a, (Signed) Rum= THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. There was confusion in the refreshment depart ments of the Exhibition yesterday, in consequence of a sudden interruption of the supply of gas by means of which all the cooking is performed. A. formidable notice was at once posted to the effect that "No hot refreshments could be sup plied during the day," and great was the consternation in consequence. Towards evening, however, the fuliginous deities relented, and late visitors were agreeably surprised with a plate of hot soup, a luxury which they had been officially in formed was quite out of the question. The following schools, &c., visited the Exhibition yesterday:—Fulham Union, 73, expenses paid by subscription. Greville-place, Kilburn, 27, Mr. Rollins.
