To-moimow—Morning. 311. 40......ARwe000. DA 65m. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. Tab " battle " of Aspromonte, about which so much has been written in the dark, is now eluci dated by GARIBALDI himself. The General's letter is not a despatch or a military memorandum; it is much rather a cry, an indictment, or a mani festo ; but it reveals that which was looked for through all the confusion and obscurity of earlier reports—it shows us the attitude tnd conduct of GARIBALDI on that memorable day.in presence of the regular troops. The &use clouds of criticism which quasi-military writers had accumulated about the event are dispersed by the statement that GARIBALDI'S orders to his followers were, "under " any circumstances to avoid a collision with the " regular troops." There was no serious fight, and all the wonder which has been expressed that the first soldier of Italy should have been " de " feated " by an inferior force, is thus the wonder of ignorance. In Sicily GARIBALDI was in the habit of re peating incessantly, " There will be no civil war." And there can be no doubt that he believed with the simplicity of childhood that Italy, including the Royal army, would be carried away by a sympathy with his object, and that a popular impulse would compel the Government at Turin to place itself at the head of the movement. It would be easy enough, without the light of the event, to be diffuse on the danger of such a course. Everybody will agree that no regular Government could permit itself thus to be superseded. But at present our business is to understand a movement and, much more, a character which will have their place in history. We may well afford the little time that is necessary for that purpose, for it will be long before we see another GARIBALDI. The General intimates that he was not com pletely undeceived until he met PALLAVICINO'B column. It was then he determined that no armed resistance should be made. " I went along "the front of our line, ordering the men "in a loud voice not to fire, and from the " centre to the left, where my voice and that of " myaides-de-camp could be heard, I was obeyed." It was not so, he complains, with PALLAVICINO'S party. "On reaching within two hundred " yards they commenced a tremendous fire, " and the party of Bersaglieri who were " opposite me, directing their aim at me, hit me " with two balls." GARIBALDI, wounded at the onset, could no longer control the troops in per son, but he says distinctly, "I can state that, as " far as the end of the line within reach of me " and my aides-de-camp," that is, from the centre to the left, " not a single shot was fired ;" and the regular soldiers, finding no resistance, mingled with the Garibsldians. On the right there was bloodshed. The young troops from Sicily, less under discipline, could not restrain the impatience they felt at being fiercely attacked, and fired upon the Bersaglieri along the whole line, although the bugles were sounding the order to desist. This wild and irregular resistance lasted only for a quarter of an hour; the affair of Aspromonte was then over, and Colonel PALLAVICINO had earned the rank of General. "If I had not given orders," says GARIBALDI, "to avoid a collision with the regular " troops under any circumstances, the struggle " might have been terrible ; nevertheless it is " better as it is." Magnanimous words, which will be least heeded by those who have moat to learn from them. The political reflections with which GARIBALDI concludes Lis letter are calm and dignified. Although the General would scorn to defend him self against the pettifoggers who denounced him as a " rebel" in their proclamations, and are now discovering treason in flags bearing the name of Vicros. FJOIANTJEL, because they lack a cross and a blue ribbon, he is not too proud to declare the spirit of loyalty in which he acted. He says : " In the hazardous enterprise in which I and my " companions embarked, I hoped for nothing good " from the Government of HArrezzi ; but why " ought I not to hope for less rigour on the " part of the K mu, not having in any way " changed the old programme, and having " decided on not changing it at any price I" The full and true answer to this question would comprehend the difficulties which most perplex the Italian Ministry at this moment. GARIBALDI is not the man to press the inquiry to a point in jurious either to Italy or to the KINO ; but the Government at Turin appear to be taking a course which will make a full exposure of the case in evitable. They are discussing now in what form to bring him to trial. But they will find no form by which they can escape the necessity of giving full explanations to the nation. There is one solu tion of the difficulty suggested by the latest news from Spezzia—the illustrious prisoner maydie under the medical treatment to which eminent men are exposed in Italy—but it is one which the Ministers and the Kis° may well deprecate. They have let slip the moment for an act which would have been one far more of prudence than of generosity. Men of political ideas would have been satisfied when they had put an end to a dangerous expe dition. The attempt to push the maxima of legality to an extreme applicstion in political matters in a country which has been for the moat part consti tuted by revolution, and which can only attain to its destiny by further revolution, must lead to mischief and confusion. It was not so that CAVOUR governed. He, like RATTAZZI, determined to save the country from incessant and abortive outbreaks, but he did so by making the govern ment adopt the objects of the nation, and accom plish the work of revolution without for a moment coming the bonds of authority.

The Queen and Royal family, accompanied by the Prinaess flobeolohe, arrived at the above residence, which has been placed at her Majesty. disposal by the Dake of Saxe Coburg Gotha, soon after nine o'clock this moroiog. - Her Majesty travelled through the night by special train from Laden, stopping an hour and a half at Cologne. where her Majesty dined in private, and proceeding by Giessen to Mechterstadt. At this station her Majesty was met by the Duke of Sane Coburg, and carriages were here in readiness to convey the Royal party to Rheinhardt,brunn. Notwitheanding the distress of mind and sorrowful emotion caused by this journey, her Majesty's health does not appear to be worse. Lord Rummell accompanied her Majesty as far as Cologne, where he remained for the night, and was to proceed thi s morning on his journey to Gotha, where he will remain until relieved by Earl Granville during her Majesty's resi dence at Rheinhardiabrunn.

Despatches for the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands were sent yesterday from the Colonial-office. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1862. Rappahannock is now satirely clear of rebel forces, or was at the last accounts. These was no definite information as to the actual position or number of the rebels. It was currently reported, however, that the rebels were falling beck beyond the Rappahannock towards Culpepper. Gen. 1 1 Seigel captured a large number of rebels on Thursday ; but the most of them afterwards managed to escape owing to an advance of rebel reinforcements far superior to the num. ber of our own troops, and the want of a sufficient number of soldiers to hold them. Some prisoners, however, were brought to Beeltown station, and will be sent to Washington. The Waahington correspondent of the New York Tribune under date of the 26th, says : The Rappahanoock line is abandoned, and our forces have fallen back to another position tea miles to the rear. Fredericksburg, of course, is retained in our possession, and Aoqurs Creek u well as the rest of the Potomac bank is to be defended. The Alexandria correspondent of the Tribune says : From prisoners taken in late skirmishes, and from many other sources, I have learned that it was the intention of General Lee to cross his entire army during Friday night and the day following, and attack Gee. Pops before the reiuforcementa from 31 'C lel lan's army arrived upon the ground. It was supposed that the Rappahannock could be passed only at six or seven points, but it soon became evi dent that the entire stream five miles above Warrenton Springs was the grand ford. During the night Jackson creased his whole corps at half-a-dozen points above War renton Springs. Jackson, according to the programme, was to engage the right of General Pope, and draw off his attention, if possible, from his left and centre, so as to I give the main body of the rebel army au opportunity to moss at other fords than those guarded by us, and then when safely over take the risk of the most desperate conflict of the war. The programme succeeded so far as Jackson WAS concerned, but at midnight a furious storm occurred, rendering the river impassable to Lae and his rebel army. General Pope could not learn the exact strength of Jackson, therefore be did not take the offensive. Jackson, on learn. ing that Lee could not reinforce him, kept close to the river and blithe., and as the river fell recreated sod joined the main body. But for this thunder-storm the greatest battle of the war would have been fought before this. The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Times states that General Pope has retired to Warrenton Junction, and has been strongly reinforced by Generals Heintzelmann, Franklin, and others of the best material of M'Clellan's army. General M'Clellan arrived at Acquia. Creek at 8 o'clock on Sunday morning, with his staff, where General Burnside met and conferred with him on the posi tion of affairs. The landing and pushing forward of the troops and batteries has been accomplished with almost incredible speed. General Porter's army, which but five days' ago was dragging its heavy way down the peninsula, is already posted along the most vulnerable points of the Rappahan nock, defying all attempts of the rebels to cross. Barrette Ford, 20 miles above this place, is held by Major-General Morrell's and General Reno's ex cellent corps. The extreme left of our line at this place is strongly held by General Burnside, whose vigilance is unceasing regarding every movement of the enemy. He has sent away to General Pope every man that could be spared, but he has still a force abundantly able to guard against any attack. The river has been swollen for two days, so that it was impossible to ford it, but it is now low again. The Washington Star has the following : Since Saturday last nearly all firing along the Rappa hannock has ceased, hardly a dozen shots a day are being fired. Most of the officers in front believe that on Saturday, , last Lee, Loaptreet, and Jackson quietly took the back track, going somewhere no one knows whither—ten to one to Gordonsville. The signs yesterday were that bat a very small rebel form was in our front, hardly enough to keep op the appearance of an opposing force them. On Thurs day last it was conceded in Lee's military family that the movement bad been a dead failure, Pope being found in position on the north side of the Rappahannock instead of , being caught upon the bank of the Rapidan as de signed. The entire force that marched east from Gordonsville was about 80,003 men, lot more We hear that General Pope despatched a punning forc e after Lee before daybreak on Saturday, and that a portion of that force, the Ist Pennsylvania and god New York C►v►lry, came up with Lee in time to retake most of our men he had as prisoners, and two pieces of artillery of ours that he had appropriated a little below Cutletts. They also captured a number of deserters from our side, and 140 rebel troopers. Guerilla parties seem to be springing up in every direction in Virginia. The Philadelphia Bulletin states that the rebels made a raid on Buctoro and Manassas station, and captured the 11th New York battery, destroyed 4 empty trains, tore up the rails, and demolished the telegraph. The New York E.cpreu says : Thecalue of the quartermaster's stores captured by the rebels at Manassas Junction was half a million dollars. This is officially stated. The rebels were still in paragon of Manamaie Junction on Wednesday morning. It is said that the rebels had with them flying artillery, and that they used them against a railroad train arriving from Alexan dria. There can be no doubt that the rebels have destroyed all buildings public and private, the station-houses and store-houses, and it is said they have burnt the railroad bridge over Bull Run, but this is denied. In the meantime, the capital is without oominunicaticn with the army by rail or telegraph. _ _ . The Alexandria correspondent of the New York Tribune, published in that journal of the 29th, states : On Tuesday night, about 8 o'clock, the pickets at Mamma Junction were driven in and two companies of the 105th Pennsylvania infantry, one of cavalry, and some artillery stationed there, were surprised and attacked by Gen. Ewell's entire division, numbering from 7,0C3 to 10,000 infantry and cavalry, with artillery. After a short skir mish, the handful of men at the junction fled, the rebels turning upon them nine of our suns, and keeping op a brisk fire until the Union troops were taken prisoners, a few lu mping across Bull Run. Here, at Union Mills, two regi ments of Gen. Con's division under Colonel Scammon were stationed, and they immediately advanced to meet the leximaching body of rebels. A conflict ensued in the early morning between the junction and Bull Run, lasting three hours, when thelinion troops, being largely outnumbered and flanked on the right, retired across Bull Run Bridge. Here a vigorous attack wee made by Colonel Scammon to hold the bridge. At 11 o'clock two rebel regiment. forded the river above the bridge, when the 12th Ohio charged and drove them across the river with heavy loss. The regiment lost io killed, wounded and missing, 35 to 40 men. At 112 o'clock Colonel Scammon was obliged to retire, moving !along the railroad in the direction of Alexandria. The Irebels advanced across Bull Ruo, and yesterday afternoon their advanced cavalry were at Fairfax and Burtis Station. On taking possession of Manassas Junction, the rebels captured seven trains loaded with provisions, ammunition, &c., and tea locomotives, all of which they destroyed. Ot the eighty-four men of the 105th Pennsylvania on the ground, nearly all were killed, wounded, or ta k en prisoners, es only three are known to have escaped. Our loss has been immense in governmeut stores, and large in killed, wounded, and missing. Telegraphic communication was had with General Pope, yesterday, via Fredericksburg— none whatever direct. LATZB.—A captain just in from Centreville mays that Arias was heard early this morning beyond Manassas, and is is believed that General Pope had attacked General Ewell in the rear. A Washington correspondent states : The first brigade cf General Kerney is reported to have engaged the enemy near Bull Rua-bridge, where a desperate struggle was maintained. The bridge is still said to be in our poesessiou. Fighting also was carried on with portions of the division of General Sturges, and nine pieces of artil lery are said to have been captured by the rebels. As this goes to mail I learn that telegraphic communication is again opened with General Pope. Manassas, therefore, must be clear of the rebels, and General Stuart, if not taken, is pro bably wending his way through the Blue Ridge to join the main body of bis army. Other correspondents of different papers give similar statements. Nothing can be learned at the War Department. The following particulars of the defeat and sur render of the Federal General R. W.

LATEST INThILLItiENOIC. ITALY. The accounts of Garibaldi, given by the Italian journals received this morning, are of a serious nature as regards the state of his wound. One document which has been published is a letter from the pen of Dr. Riboli, who has visited him, and who evidently entertains a grave opinion of the in juries. He states that at the best the general will scarcely be able to move his limb for four months. With regard to the medical attendance, expreesions in some of the accounts indicate that there is rather too much than too little of it. Dr. Riboli records some remarks which Gari baldi made in his hearing. Among other things he said, " What signifies a foot—except that if they are going to shoot me, I can't walk to the spot ? In America, when they took a ball from my neck, declaimed some verses ; now I must bite the cover lid." One of Garibaldi's late visitors was • patriotic lady, well known in Italy, Madame Mentegazza. At Varese, during the battle with the Austrian% this lady had the courage to cross the lake in the midst of a shower of balls, to ask permission of Garibaldi to look to the wounded. When she entered the room where Garibaldi lies, she fell on her knees at his bed, bursting into tears. Ever)one was affected at the scene. A little before her visit he received Madame Cairoli, the heroine of Pavia, a rich widow, who had four sons, all of whom she has given, one after the other, to Garibaldi. Three of the sons have fallen in different battles ; the last is now a prisoner, as one of Garibaldi's staff. But the communication which has canoed moat excitement in Italy is the following letter from General Bixio, who, it is well known, is a supe rior officer of the Italian army, and who, though one of Garibaldi's moot intimate associates, dis approved of the expedition to Rome : Genoa, Sept. 5. Having jut returned from a visit to Sperzia, I read this morning in the papers the news taken from the official Gazette, that Garibaldi bad been carried to Varignano, to an apartment which bad been expressly prepared for biro. Ido not know what, in the language of the Minister Rat testi, "to prepare an apartment," can mean, when the gene ral remained several days without a change of bed, and only yesterday evening could such bed be procured through the kindness of a private citizen, the shipbuilder of Spends dockyard. All the gentlemen who are at Varigoano with Garibaldi have for their bed a mattress stretched on the floor. Nothing has been aa yet provided in the shape of linen, bandages, or leeches ; nothing, in one word, of what is wanting to nurse a wounded man. Yesterday, Dr. Riboli was obliged to asks lady of Speuia for some linen. The minis ter, occupied as he is daily by sending a host of carabineers and policemen to this tranquil place, has not had time to occupy himself with the health of the prisoner. The surgeons themselves who bad been sent to Varignano had the greatest difficulty in getting admitted into the room of the general for wet of an orders from the military commander. M. Rattersi may *Beim to secure for himself the reams of the defender of order and of repression, but be can lase no claim to a reputation for humanity, and it would be better for him to conform his official news to the facts. AMERICA. The North German Lloyd's steamer Hansa, from New York on the 30th ult., has arrived off Cowes, She brings 22 passengers for England, and 118 for Bremen, 133,965 dole. in specie for England, 64,000 dole. for France, and 3,000 dole. for Bremen. The New York Times of the 30th ult. says that the fears for the safety of Washington are entirely dispelled, as the defences of the capital are perfect and impregnable. It is believed that a great battle was fought on the 29th under M'Clellan. The plan of the rebels was for Jackson to march with 35,000 men via Shenandoah River, and attack Pope in his rear, while Lee kept them engaged in front and on the right and left flanks ; this plan was defeated by the retreat of Pope. The New York Times says, if the great body of the Confederate army is between the Rappahannock and the capital, it can only save itself by dispersion or surrender. The rebels have rushed madly to the rear of the Union lines, abandoning all routes of communication and all chances of retreat. The country they occupy is a desert : to advance into Maryland, to attack Balti more or Washington, would be lunacy. The New York papers of the 30th ult. have the following : Office dasociated Pre Agency, New York, Friday, August 29. _ _ Generals Burnside and Pope have ;MammasHy cut their way through the rebel forces to Manassas, and have formed a junction with the army of Virginia, under General M'Clel• lan, this side of Centreville. There has been a severe engagement with the rebels by the divisions under the command of Generals Hooker, Sturges, and Sumner, in which the rebels wore completely routed and driven back from the vicinity of Manaus and Bull Run, through the passes of the Bull Run mountains. The loss of life on both sides is said to have been heavy. No accurate information is obtainable on this point, but it is believed the enemy were very severely punished, and many prisoners taken. It u also stated that the Potomac River is now fordable at ►oy point above Washington, and much excitement pre vails throughout Western Maryland, arising from the fear that a portion of the rebel army may make a desperate and destructive raid in that quarter, but the arrangement for a proper reception of the traitors at all points are ample for all emergencies of such a nature. The enemy has not yet appeared on the Upper Potomac, although indications have pointed to such an event, and the excitement on both sides of the line continues. That there have been the most extensive movements of troops from Alexandria and other points, is beyond a doubt, and it is currently believed that the major portion of our army has had either skirmishing or hard-fought battles with the enemy within the last twenty-fear hours. It is generally believed an extensive forward movement was made by the whole army to-day under General M'Clellan, involving a battle, but the result, if a battle was fought, has not yet been announced. A despatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer, dated Washington, Aug. 28, says : General M'Clellan this morning assumed command of the army of Virginia. General Burnside is to command the army of the Potomac, and General Pope to command the army of the Rappahannock. This news, so far as General M'Clellan is concerned, is corroborated by the Balti more America*. LIVERPOOL, WZDNEBDAY. The Canadian mail steamer Anglo-Saxon, Cap tain Graham, from Quebec on the 30th, arrived in the Mersey last evening. A full telegraphic summary of the advices by this arrival has already been published. The reports of the fighting on the Rappahannock River and the surrounding country are very con tradictory, and mainly consist of telegram reports to the Portland and Canadian papers. We extract the following : Alexandria, Virginia, August 26. From paesengers arriving here today it is ascertained that on Saturday the enemy commenced operations early, and went to work with a will, using their artillery at Rappahan nock station. It soon become evident that the station would have to be abandoned, and at about 9 o'clock the bridge across the Rappahannock was burned and the ►but ments blown up. Orders were also received to remove our stone and ammunition, and burn the houses at Rappahannock station, which was accomplished. We sustained no casualties. Everything was quiet at Warrenton and Warrenton Junc tion both on Sunday and yesterday. The latter place is nine miles from the former. Our troop are rapidly getting into position, and everything goes on welL This aide of the the Guerilla General Morgan, appear in a Louis .''rill, telegram of the 27th ult. : General R. W. Johnson, Captain Turner, of his eta, and Captain Libbon, of the 2nd Indiana C►valry, mired here to-day. They report that General Johnson was com pelled to surrender near Gallatin on the 21st, because his force, numbering about 700, after fighting bravely for some time, became unmanageable and finally ran, with the exception of 75, who, with General Johnson, Major Winfrey, of the sth infantry, and three other offioers, were taken prisoners. The Federal loss wan 26 killed, including a lieutenant, and 2 I officers and 33 men wousded. The rebel loss, including several officers, was 13 killed and 40 wounded. The Federal prisoners were all well treated by Morgan, and liberated on parole. Morgan's force is 1,800 strong, finely equipped and mounted. President Lincoln will, says the Washington Na- Goma/ .lateiligencer, enforce the Confiscation and Emancipation Act to the beat of his ability. The war meeting at New York on the 27th was an immense and very enthusiastic one. Quite a number of speeches were made by prominent citizens, and resolutions adopted pledging the faith,' fortunes, lives, and honour of the citizens of New York to crushing out the rebellion ; calling upon' monied and other corporations to contribute largely to the recruiting funds, and also to close their places of business as far as practicable at 3 p.m. until the 13th of September ; and urging the President to authorise General Corcoran to raise a legion of 20,000 men. A letter was read from Secretary Seward, ex pressing the President's regret at being unable to attend ; also a spirited letter from Governor Morgan. The great event of the afternoon was the arrival of the 69th Regiment with General Corcoran at their head. They were enthusiasti cally welcomed, and took part in the proceedings. Corcoran was one of the speakers. All the buildings in the vicinity of Fortress Monroe were to be destroyed immediately. Mr. Segur, the proprietor of the Hygeia Hotel, had left for Washington, having received a noti fication that his buildings were to come down in four days. In the case of Mr. Ingersoll, lately seized at Philadelphia on a charge of sedition, a writ of habeas corpus had been issued, returnable on the 28th ult. San Francisco dates are to the 27th August. Markets generally quiet. The new census of San Francisco gives a population of 90,000, against 83,000 last year. The city is in a sery prosperous condition. Alarming accounts have been received of the Indian troubles in the north-west. A general Indian war was thought to have commenced. Canadian news unimportant. The latest commercial has already been pub lished. (REUTIM'S ruzaiums.) SPAIN. MADRID, Szpr. 9. The Corre.spondencia Autografa of to-day states that it is authorised to deny the assertions of La France and the Pays that " the Spanish govern ment was about to assume a more conciliatory policy towards France, for the purpose of oonsti tuting a real and durable government in Mexico." SERVIA. BELGRADE, Bum. 9, Evranic. The conflict between the Turks and the Serviaua at Ongitza ended in the defeat of the former. An armistice has since been concluded through the intervention of the foreign consuls. The Turks are surrounded in the fortress of Bel grade and their countrymen residing in the town are unable to leave their houses. 170 warehouses and 130 houses in the Servian quarter were set on fire by the Turks, and the remainder were much damaged. The town is in fact nearly destroyed. In the late conflict the Turks had 30 killed and 12 wounded, and the Servians 1 killed and 7 wounded. GARIBALDI. We have received by Submarine Telegraph a pri vate telegram, dated Spezzia, yesterday (Tuesday) morning, which says, " Garibaldi is weak ; he has much fever, and the inflammation is painful The surgeons wish to bleed him. To save his limb, or even his life, it is indispensable that one of the best English surgeons should come to him in haste." Prince Napoleon is about to leave Paris for Cor sica, and to occupy himself at Ajaecio in selecting a site for the monument to be erected to Napoleon L The prince will leave Corsica for Egypt. . . . Rear-Admiral Jaurbs, who has been appointed to the command of the French Lod and naval forces in China. left Toulon on Monday on board the Canada. He will pro. osed direct to Alexandria, and re-embark at Suez. He takes with him all the necessary instructions to push on military operations against the Chinese rebels. Prince Richard de Metternich, the Austrian ambassador, who recently left Paris for his chateau of Johannisberg, will return before the expiration of his leave of absence, in order to proceed to Biarritz, whither he has been invited by their Majesties. The ex-King Louis of Bavaria, father of the reigning monarch, has just passed through Lyons on his way from Geneva (where be has stopped two days at the Hotel des Berrie') to Rome. His Majesty, who is 76 years of age, travels incognito under the name of Count de pessard. The Inralide Ruase mentions a rather singular piece of economy effected in the expenses of its printing by the suppression of the e mute, which in Russian writ ing is added to every syllable terminating with a consonant, but which is of no use in the pronunciation. The suppres sion of this letter make., a saving of 8 per cent. in the ex. posse of the composition of the journal. "Two towns in Eastern Flanders, Audenarde and Termonde," says the independence, "have adopted 1 Garibaldi's march for the chimes of the church clock." Mr. Bishop, the Englishman arrested for coa -1 raying Bourboaist communications between Naples and l i Rome, has been sentenced to tea ' , eon' imprisonment. NEWCASTLE AND GLRIBALDI.—NEWCASTLK, TUEB - Nianr.—As immense and enthusiastic meeting wiri held here to-night to memorialise government to urge the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome, and to invite Garibaldi to oome and reside 111 England. The large lecture ball could not contain the people, and thousands went away unable to obtain admission. The people outside, by as adroit manmuvre, obtained possession of th e new Town Hall, which was immediately crowded to the doors. The speakers were then brought to the Town HalL Mr. Coen culler Newton presided, sod a resolution demanding the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome was moved by Joseph Cowen, jun., in an eloquent address, and seconded by Thomas Gregsos, and carried amidst unbounded ap plause. The Rev. J. H. Rutherford moved a resolution inviting Garibaldi to England, which was seconded by Mr. Watson, and carried with great enthusiasm. The meeting created much excitement in the town. CANADIAN PARTRIDOIB.—MT. Taylor, a surgeon, at Romeey,cautions the public of the extreme danger tuere is sometimes in eating these birds, and narrates some cases ia which patienta of his own were poisoned by eating them. It is reported to be known in Canada that sometimes these birds are poisonous, that when the snow is long on the ground they are driven by hunger to feed on the berries of some shrub which makes their flesh unsafe for hums food. AQUATIC BIRDS.—At a meetiug of the Exerar Naturalists' Club held last week, Mr. D'Urban , a member of the club, stated that there were no less than 72 species at aquatic birds which frequented the Ere river, some of which were of great rarity, such as the Caspian gull, Egyptian goose, great northern diver, harlequin dock, black tern, common dead , white *Uri, &boost, black tailed puma, pratincole, grey phalarope, spoonbill, grey plover, oyster catcher, catcher, spotted crake, sheldreke , buff breasted sersilpiper, spotted redahank, INDIA. Bombay papers of August 12 contain t'oc to!- lowing paragraphs : The Eaglialt divers sent to Orli= report the possibibty of recovering, within a few weeks, every article of velue sunk in the Penitusdar Lod Oriental Compeers steamer Ara, saw Trincomalee. The native who was so severely dogged by Lientenan Jackson (Bengal Engiueers) at !)hers Ishmael Khan, baa since died ; and that officer will be tried by court-martial for murder. Cholera has again broken out at Meerut, and the troops have been moved into camp. It has disappeared from the troops at Peshawur, but has broken out in the city. The Dinapore military scandals have resulted in the re signation of the brigadier of that station, Colonel Burney, and the low of his commission by Lieutenant Crohan, of her Majesty's 35th Regiment. A breach bee taken place between the Nepaidese and Thibetan governments, caused by the murder of a subject of the former at Lassa. The Dhurmaraj of Thibet has, in revenge, sent to the British authorities a letter written to him by Sir Jung Behadoor in December last, declaring his intention to wage war against the British ! Dost Mahommed is pushing matters to extremities in Central Asia. After recovering numb, he at owe marched for Herat. By the latest accounts (10th July) his ad. vanes guard, under command of the heir apparent, was expected to be at Subtawsr on the 12th July, and the Anwar would reach the same place the following day. &h- II amar is only 70 mile* from Herat. It is stated that Sultan Ahmed Jan had marched on Suhzawar with a large faros to meet the Dart. The Sheol, are again giving us trouble. They have broken out in open rebellion, and are looting villages and committing great depredations. A European military force has been sent against them from Mhow. Europeans, how ever, cennot follow the Meals into the jungles at this season of the year. The punishment of the rebels will not therefore be inflicted till after the rains, when it is hoped that it will be such as to teach them a salutary and lasting lesson. The general health of the country has declined latterly ; and fears are entertained that cholera will prevail very ex tensively. A telegram from Poona, dated August 12, says : —" Mr. Compton, judge of Poona, was accidentally drowned at the Suogum this morning whilst bathing. Body not yet found." Of the Bombay markets, the local Times of Aug. 12 reports : The excitement which characterised our market a fort night ago has considerably subsided, prices having receded somewhat from the high rani() they had attained. The divided success of the American war makes speculators • little more careful ; but we may at any moment see an acuession of the fever that seized upon the place so lately, Cocioanut-day, the 9th instant, has meanwhile palsied away, and the season is professedly open ; but we regret to state that its prospects are to some extent clouded by a fear that the scarcity of rain In some parts of the country will end in the destruction of the lEhttreel crop. Thus private letters from Oomrawnttee tel l us that not a drop of rain has been had there since the first fall, sod that the cotton crop in the surrounding districts is on the point of perishing. In the Poonali and Sbolapore collectoratea, also, the country is parched and yellow, and, although rain fell at the latter station on the 7th and Bth inst., it is feared that the grain crop will be seriously damaged, if not lost.

Society. ROYAL ARSENAL. —Upwards of 1,400 persons, including a large number of foreigners, visited the several depsrtmenta of the Royal Arsenal this day. Since the opening of the International Exhibition the establishment has been crowded with visitors oo Tuesdays and Thursdays, and many thousands have been refused &dosimeters in COO/0 - queues of not being provided with cards, which can, how ever, be obtained without difficulty on application at the War Department.

It is reported that the Frederick William, 82, screw, AM Elutlej, 51, screw frigate, are to be immediately commis sioned. The Edgar, 86, will be taken ono of the ship buin on Thursday. EXTRAORDINARY STATE OF A SHIP.—The 11E4' tame 18, screw iron frigate, Captain Chamberlain, was placed in dock yesterday at Portsmouth, and her bottom found toffs in an extraordinary state for a ship on the home station, bearing more the appearance of having gone through a long commission on the coast of Africa. The entire bot tom of the ship was covered with weeds and long grass of every known kind and colour, with huge patches of morels here and there on the port aide, together with a good sprinkling of barnacles. On the starboard aide, however, the barnacles extended from stem to stern, with an im mense quantity of weeds and long grass, the latter in some pieties, as under the quarter, full those fist in length. The muesels, too, extended fore sod aft, with bunches hanging in places as large as a child's head. From the stein to abreast the fore chiles on this side, about three feet below the water line, a belt of mussel. adhered to the ship's bow of from two to bee inches in thickness, and from one to two feet broad. "1/14WERS AND GEterumarr."—A party of officers of the • went down to 00Z0 in the middle of last month, having it appears, no better amusement, resorted to the not very original or humane expedient of throwing heated coppers to a crowd of boys they had collected together under the window of the Imperial Hotel, at which they were staying. Having anted a charcoal tire to be lighted in a stove, and brought into the room, they made a number of copper COlOll red hot, and, by means of a pair of pitmen, threw them rapidly in succession to the boys in the street, who little suspected the cruelty about to be inflicted upon them. The consequence was, seven lads, from tan to eighteen years of age, were more or leas severely burnt in the hands, legs, and other parts of their bodies. This peop eat naturally caused indignation and excitement amonget the Gorman er at Rabbet°, who were only prevented by the policefrom taking summary vengeance On the persona of the authors of this cruel and stupid frolic. Aggravating their offence by not appearing in court until a second summons bad been served upon than, the magis trate, Dr. Borg, fined them on the 30th ult. 51. each. it hasalways beau our opinion that one of she best ways of preventing the repetition of pranks of this kind is to give the authors the full benefit of publicity, by attaching Ora Dames to the record of their gallant deeds. In this convw *ion we append the following as the names of the gentlemen who have gained for themselves this rather useo•ieble ea toriety on this °motion :—Captain Charles Vane Fitzroy, Ensign the Hon. Charles North, sad Ensign Alfred Sey mour, all of the 4th battalion Rifle Brigade.—Yalta Tunes, Sept. 4. A Loe's's Twaarr.—A young man whose pro fission is "to go down to the sea in ships," had been courting a young girl at a house not a hundred miles from the Ulveraton canal, when some quarrel ensued between the lovers, and the gay Lothario threatened to drown binvelf. No wooer said than Noce, apparently. He sprang into the moat, to the great terror of the girl, who at owe created an slam The dissatisfied lover had disappeared beneath the water ; and, although every effort was mete to reader mssistance if practicabl, the or y to bring tip the WI, when all hope of rescuing ictim of disenpointen prim had vanished, there was uothing to show for this a -1 peaditure of good feeling. We understand that several notemben of the police force, assisted by tvmpathinag by standers, dragged the canal fora considerable time, but with oat effect. The truth was, that the disconsolate lover was capital swimmer and diver, and contrived, through the dark ness of the night, to get home noobserved, where he Intl found next morning comfortably demand between the blaakets. Rumour says that the heart of the fair I/aldose is softened, and that the course of true love is likely to rue smooth hotoeforth. —Cumberland Tacque!. I it _~~
