THE second of the Industrial Exhibitions which have been lately instituted in London has just been opened in the Agricultural Hall at Islington. The first, as our readers may remem ber, was held in the Lambeth and Southwark district, and between the productions of the heavy handed workers in iron, in pottery, or chemical manufactures, who so largely congregate on the Surrey side of the river, and the delicate fingered watchmakers, jewellers, or carvers, whose head quarters are in Clerkenwell and Islington, there is enough of distinction to make the comparison interesting. Yet in both regions individual taste breaks out, and the works which form the chosen recreation of the mechanic are often so dif ferent from what his trade might suggest as to prove that in every rank of life there is the same inexorable and perverse fate which sometimes makes a soldier • barrister, • mighty hunter • divine, or • born poet an engrossing clerk. No student of human nature can examine without profound sympathy these records of the struggles of innate taste and inclination against the force of external circum stances. Nor can anyone who remembers how many of our greatest names in art, in science, or in literature have been owned by those who had to cultivate their talent under all the difficulties of alien pursuits, or who thinks even how many of the inventors who have made for us our national wealth and power have had to work out their im mortal ideas in the intervals of labour at some very different trade, refrain from watching with deep interest the humble efforts which may be the first struggles upwards of a Housaru, a DAVY, or a Warr. More than interest, however, belongs to such Exhibitions as these. They form at once an encouragement and guide to genuine ability, and a repressing influence on the mere fancied tendency of mind to which many are apt enough to give way. They afford not merely an opportunity which the judicious patron may avail himself of for discovering and assisting real merit, but they have the still greater advantage, not dependent on my patron, of teaching the artist himself by the influence of comparison and example. His fame, if he deserves it, will spread from the street to the parish, perhaps even to a large section of the metropolis, but be will be in some measure able to judge for himself, when his performance is plac:d alongside those of his rival; whether he deserves his credit even in his street, and what he has to do if he would extend it further ere the next Ex hibition opens. We ourselves/, as a:nation, have profited incalculably by the self -measurement and the self-teaching which our Great Exhibitions ren dered possible. Our manufacturers compared their works with their rivals' at home and abroad, saw their own deficiencies, and set to work to remedy them. So will the poor North London or Surrey artisan, comparing the loved employment of his leisure hours with the produc tions of others, gain knowledge of his weakness and of his strength--discover, perhaps, that he has aimed beyond his powers, or find th►t he has powers which will make him superior to others when subjected to stricter training and more care ful cultivation. No doubt, however, after all, the cases of real genius, or even of special ability, are rare ; and though these Exhibitions may a little smooth its path, they cannot create it. Their chief general use, then, is that they beget and foster an interest among many persons in pursuits which are more or less pure and elevating. It is trite and obvious enough to remark that the hours cannot be spent in the public-house or the singing -saloon which are ab sorbed in making a model, • bit of machinery, or a drawing, however rude. But there is more than this negative vu-tue in such occupations. There is the cultivation of steady thought. The majority of the articles exhibited are not the result of that rule of thumb dexterity which is acquired by constant practice in a regular trade. They are rather a breaking away from such mere manual routine, and even if professional skill has been employed in their elaboration, still the idea is generally novel, and the arrangement o: parts to carry it out has demanded continual effort of the mind. Now, happily for us, we seldom find the faculties awakened in one departnient without rousing in some degree the rest. The ingenious constructor of a model house or ship—to take the very lowest description of art exhibition—is far more likely to be disposed to learn to read than one who has never had inclination to do more than work at his daily task and eat his daily dinner. So, as reaching the mind through that channel by which access is easiest, and rousing tho intelli gence through that chord to which it will first respond, we are glad to see institutions esta blished which give direction and encouragement to such methods of filling up leisure hours. It was, very properly, on this aspect of the Exhibition that Earl RUSSELL, in the short but cordial addresses with which he opened it, chiefly dwelt. No man has better right than he to refer to such themes, for the best hours of his life were spent in the promotion of measures whose object was, and whose effect has been, to break off the legal shackles in which • selfish and bigoted oli garchy bad bound the minds of men. One who has so largely helped to give his fellow -country. men religious freedom, local self-government, and political power, may most appropriately urge on those who as yet stand outside the limit of some THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1864. of these advantages to use the means which come to their hand for raising themselves to dim point where entire equality oak me be denied them. A worker' himself, though born with no need to seek, and edits ' every temptation not to worit, he could lastly speak of the dignity and nobility of labour. 1. proved and steady friend of his humbler country men, whatever occasional errors of judgment he may have been chargeable with, he was entitled to rejoice with them in the evidence before him of their progress, and in the occasion which his presence inaugurated, by which that progress might be at once recognised and aided. So we can but echo his words in hoping that this Exhi bition may fulfil the expectations of its friends and promoters, in helping the working men and women of North London to educate themselves and to raise themselves, assured that the education which it helps will not be the less effectual because it is innocent, and because, for once, it certainly goes entirely with the grain of the pupils.

The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland intend to leave Dnurobin Castle. N. 8., for Turbot House, the duchess's seat, to peas • few weeks. The Duchess (Dowager) of Sutherland is staying at Danrobin. Among the recent guests who have kit the castle are the Duke and Dachas of Manchester, the Marquis of llartington, Lord and Lady Begot, the Hon. Leopold and Mrs. Ellis, he.

It is with much pleasure that we (Bury and Novick/4 Post) report the oonlinued improvement of the health of the Marquis of BristoL His lordship cannot yet, we fear, be pronounced entirely out of danger, but his pro gress towards recovery has been decided and continuous. We regret, however, to observe that another member of the family, our worthy member, Lord Alfred Hervey, has lately suffered a severe bereavement by the loss of his son, Mr. Alfred Hervey, a midshipman on board her Majesty's ship Revenge. The young gentleman, while at Malta, was attacked with Ulnas a few weeks ago, which became so alarming that his father went out to him, and was returning with him to England when he expired. This sad occur rence has, as may he imagined, added to the gloom cast over the whole family. Tax HEALTH OF LORD CARLDR.R. —The health of the Earl of Carlisle has been gradually improving all the week. El =drool attendasta sow report his lordship as able to sit and converts& little, though yet very feeble. THE Nsw LORD-Li ECTILVANT. —Lord Wodehouse, the new Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, has appointed Mr. Edmond Wodehouse, son of the Governor of the Cape Colony, his private secretary. The difficulty of obtaining good seamen for the feet is now severely felt at Woolwich. It is stated that upwards of 1,000 continuous service men who entered at the commencement of the Ruasian war from the merchant navy have refused to meow their engagements, and that many whose term of ten years has nearly expired have requested their discharge on being paid off. The grievance complained of appears to be the new regulations issued by the First Lord, and denominated " the Somerset discipline." The stoppages of grog and pay, and the retention, after the tern of punishment, of defaulter's names on the black list are much objected to. A notification has been posted at Woolwich for some weeks past requiring men for the 107- gun ship Victoria, but with small 'nooses. The fiaphip Fisgard, formerly crowded to inconvenience, has now but few men berthed there. On Sunday the Emperor and Empreea of the French invited to the imperial table at Pll Cloud the laureate of Rome who lately gained the grand prime for painting, sculpture, architecture, and musical composition. Among the other gusts were Marshal Valliant, Minister of the Bsaux•Arte ; Count de Niewerkerke, superintendent of the Baena-Arts ; Count Baciocchi, superintendent s. coral of theatres ; M. Auher, director of the Conserva toire, An. The Emperor and Empress gave the most gracious encouragement to the young artiste, and dories the evening her Majesty presented to each of them a photograph of the Emperor, herself, and the Prince Imperial, signing each card with her name. M. Sing was also informed that his cantata, which had gained the grand prise for mmical composition, was shortly to he performed at the Grand Opera. A correepoudeut of the Times writes:—"The ox- King of Ode (now on the Continent) told • friend of mine that the rope-trick ruled to be performed in this faabion. The performer was tied neck and test and put into a sack, the month of which was carefully secured. He waethen thrown into deep water, from which he emerged swimming, free from both ropes and sack. Now, let this experiment be tried publicly in the Serpentine with the Brothers Daven port, and let Lord Bury, Captain Inglefield, or any other enlightened amateur be tied up along with them to see fair play. If they succeed, they will add greatly to the number of their converts. Of course the Humane Society can be at head to give them a fair chance of resuscitation if they fail. A similar ordeal we' once applied to witches; why not to coojurors Meyerigeer's impatiently expected and long de sired oper•L'Afriosine is now under rehearsal at the Trench Opera. The following is an analysis of the plot :—Vaaeo de Gams, returning from his first voyage to Africa with a cargo of pogrom, is shipwrecked. Two alone of the nevus were rued—Nelaaco, an African traitor, and Celika, ax. Queen of !Wapner, a long time before King Radium and his widow. Vasco is condeaned by a naval court martial for having lost his ship, and the sentence is Gorman ideated to him in an octuor of bus voices, which is the most remarkable air in the first act. In the second act Vasco is in prison with the Queen of Mada gascar and Nelueo. The latter wishes to kill him daring bin sleep, but the Queen, who loves Vasco, utters a cry and eaves him. In the third act Vasco has obtained permission to return to Africa to moues his discoveries. Celika is with him, bet he is again ship wrecked, and thrown on the coast of Madagascar. Here is • change of scenery. Celika fa mistress here in place of being • slave She will force Vasco to love her or she will put him to death. At the end, however, she abandoes bar plans, and it is she will die. To carry her resolution into effect she goes to deep under the %pas tree while singing an adieu to Vasco. The plot is romantic and the scenery is splendid, but the public are uneasy lest the actors should not prove themselves equal to the parte allotted to them.

The first step taken after making out a balanoe-sheet, is, by every available means, to effect the payment of the small creditors, if not the whole amount of their claim, then the utmost the estate of the bankrupt will permit. ‘.. - AMICRICA. LIVERPOOL, Wermamer. The Canadiaa steamer North American arrived in the Mersey at 2.30 this morning. A full tele graphic summary of her news has already ap peared. The following are the latest despatches published in the Quebec journals : Wathington, Oct. 7. Mr. Stanton to Chateral Diz. In • recent despatch it was mentioned that General Sherman was taking measures to protect his communications from the rebel forces operating against them. Derp•tches received last night chow the fullibnent of this work. Major•Gasesel G. H. Thomas was sent to Louisville to agonise the troops in his district, and drive Forrest from our lines, while the attention of General Sherman was directed to the movements of the main rebel army in the vicinity of Atlanta. On the 4th al October the rebels captured Big Shentyi, but were followed closely up by Sherman'. troops. On the 6th a severe engagement was fought by oar forme, under General Trench, in which the rebels were driven from the field with heavy loss, leaving their deed and wounded in our hands. Details aro given in the following from Clessral Thomas : Nashville, Oct. 6, 11.30 pm. To the Hoc. E. Stanton, Secretary of War. Thefollowing telegram is just ;waived fro m Chattanooga: General Smith, who left here yesterday, October 5, telegraphs that the enemy retreated last evening from Altooe, moving in the direction of Dallas., leaving his deed and 400 to 600 wounded in our hands. Our loss was about 100 killed and 200 wounded. The Reesea-bridge will be repaired tomorrow, sad t►e trains will be able to ran aa tar am /thorns going via Cleveland and Dalton. Nothing further has been heard from Sharman sines my despatch of yesterday. but the retreat of the enemy to wards Dallas indicated that he warn close on their rear ow Alton*. I have not heard from °lamb Rowan or Washburn to day, but presume that they ere pushing Forrest as rapidly as the condition of the roads oriU admit. We have had heavy and continuous rains for the last five days rendering the reads and streams almost impaemble. I have just received the following from General Granger, dated Huntsville, October 6 : The courier reported as drowned crowds* Elk River is in. He lost the despatches while crossing the river. He reports that two rebels were captured yesterday. who my they left Forrest at Lawrenoeburg the night before, =m pg South. General Morgan's advance was skirmishing with the enemy this morning in Olive Creek, he being unable to cross the Creek on amount of high ARUM. He hopes to be ►ble to cross by to-morrow morning, when he will push them dill farther on. The Atlanta railroad will be repaired from here to Pulaski in one week. (Signed) Gipson H. THOMAS. Major•GenereL Another despatch reports the following : . . Telegreph rep;frod to Atlanta to-day. The action yesterday wee severe. French attacking wits his division, 7,000 strong, and 'offering hearil7, iturialt his killed and wounded in Lour hands to the number of 1,000, while we lag only 300. The fight lasted 'ix hours elto gether. Adrian from St. Louis of the 7th say :—lt is now ascertained that the bridge over the Gasconade River has been burnt by the Confederates. Cole Creek bridge has also been destroyed by them, with 30 cars and 20 locomotives. Satisfactory reports of the operations against Richmond and Petersburg have been received, but their details are not at present proper for publi cation. Activity prevails in Grant's front, where the armies are engaged ii throwing up earthworks. A despatch from General Stevenson reports that an officer of General Sheridan's staff has just arrived. General Sheridan was still at Harrison burg. His supply trains were going on all right, occasionally interrupted by guerillas, the only rebel force on the road. Great activity prevails at Alexandria. Trains are running to Manassas Gap and Cul- Pepper. General Banks wee at the war department. It is understood he will go North soon. Orders have been issued prohibiting civilians from passing the James River from Fort Monroe. Richmond papers, of the 3rd and 4th, claim that Early holds Sh,ridan in check, and Early in a despatch to the citizens of Lynchburg says if they will turn out and beat off the raiders he will bold the main force of the enemy where they are. The Ric Jowled E.an►iner of the 4th says : The Union cavalry force was 14 miles from Gor donsville. The Confederate loss in the assaults on Saturday is admitted to be 4,000. Ewell is said to be in command of the defences of Richmond, Lee having gone back to Petersburg. Jeff Davis, in the speech said to have delivered by him at Macon, made a begging appeal to the Georgians to fill up the army. He says two-thirds of the rebel armies were absent without leave—that is, deserters. They could not send troops from Vir ginia to Georgia, because they were as scarce in the former state as in the latter. He had been asked why Early was not sent to Georgia instead of the Shenandoah Valley. It was because Lynchburg was threatened. What would prevent the Union troops, if Early was withdrawn, from taking Lynchburg, and putting a complete cordon of men around Richmond / A Vienna letter says :—"Failures are becoming terribly numerous at Vienna. One of the first houses in the iron trade, that of Reethorn Brothers, has mtepeoded its payment. One of the partners in this firm is a member of the Chamber of Deputies." The steampneket Motels, of the Meeaageries Ira pi:dales Company, sailed last month from Marseilles ter Alexandria, and on towelling at Messina took on board Madame Ristori and her troop of comedians to °covey them to Egypt. The oommander of the Minis thought it a good opportunity to avail himself of Madame Rieton'a splendid talents for a charitable purpose, and he requested her to organise a representation for the sufferers by the Bre at Limoges. Madame Ristori willingly satiated, and after the performance a collection was made among the pas sengers and ship's company, which produced a sum of 2,100 fr. (841.)

THE TWO GERMAN POWERS AND THE DUCHIES The two great German pow seem to consider themselves, by virtue of the cession stipulated in the preliminaries of peaoe, to be the legitimate pos sessors of the Duchies, and believe they have a right to dispose of them as they please. The irrelaZ Zeitung of Berlin now contains a develop , meat of that idea : King Christian (it says) hes a perfect right to cede those Duch's' to the allied powers, which consequently pours them by virtue of that maim Those powers have also over Sleswig the right of conquest. The future disposal of the Daphne belongs to them. Awed log to modern public law nose of the claimants can have rights which take preeedenoe of those of the allied worts. These latter will therefore dispose freely of the Duchies either in conformity with the right of succession in vigour before 1363, or to the profit of the claimant who offers the but guarantees of order, a conservative system and good government, as well as for the interests of Germany. In any case the two powers will make their conditions, and from their hands alone it is that the new sovereign will mire his crown. ALLEGED DISARMAMENT OF AUSTRIA AND ITALY. The Indipendance Beige of yesterday evening says : We are informed from Paris of the commencement of • disarmament which may be regarded as one of the first consequences of the treaty of the 15th of September. At the period when that treaty was being negotiated France premed the Italian government to calm the susceptibilities of Austria which the Fmnoo-Italisu convention might awaken, end to give that power pledgee of its pacific inten tions by reducing the effective of the army to the number necessary for the maintenance of internal order. M. Yinghetti entered into an engagement to do this, reserving the ful filment of it to the time when the instance could not be used by extreme parties against the government as • dis avowal of the national programme, end when the vote of the parliament upon the convention should have restored calm to the public mind. Upon the information which the representative of Friona imparted to the cabinet of Vienna as to the engagements entered into by Italy, Austria gave effect to its resolution, taken beforehand from motives of economy, but suspended in consequence of the convention, to reduce its military forme in Venetia. It is known that in Austria as wall as Italy these redactions are in course of execution ; they are effected by definitive discharges given to soldiers wham time of service would not be completed till a later period. SPAIN. The Epoca of Madrid affirms that the Grand Duke of Tuscany has prepared a protest against the pro ject of making Florence the capital of Italy, as con trary to the rights reserved to him by the Treaty of Zurich. The same journal says : M. Pacheco will leave for Rome about the end of the month. One of our contemporaries has declared its belief that the new ambassador bid made it a condition to his as of the post of Spanish representative to the Holy See, that the government of Iltdrid should neither approve of nor accept the late Feanco-Itelian treaty. We believe our contemporary to be perfectly correct in its informatics. The Contemporatico of Madrid says, however, that there is "not one word of truth in the allegations of certain journals touching the pretensions of M. Pacheco." It is therefore permissible to hope that the convention of Sept. 15, may survive the wrath of the dethroned Grand Duke of Tuscany. (REUTZIen lUMINa.) THE COMMERCIAL CRISIS IN BRAZIL. RIO DE JANEIRO, Barr. The business of the past fortnight has been sud denly and unexpectedly interrupted, owing to the stoppage of payment, on the morning of tho 10th inst., of the important banking establishment of Messrs. A. J. A. Souto and Co., and to the conse quences which immediately resulted therefrom. By far the most serious panic ever witnessed in this city immediately took possession of the public, and a run commenced on four of the chief private banking establishments by holders of receipts for deposits One only of these firms withstood the unexpected and continued drain on their coffers. The other three resolved on closing their doors on the 13th. In the meantime many respectable firms had been unable to meet their engagements, and the utmost consternation pervaded the whole place from the impossibility of knowing who would con tinue solvent and who succumb under the calamity. On Sunday, the 11th inst., the Minister of Finance met the directors of the Bank of Brazil, who proposed under certain stipulations to take on themselves the liquidation of the firm which had suspended its payments on the previous day ; nothing, however, could be arranged, and the con ference was agaiu continued up to midnight of the following day. The difficulty which presented itself was the expediency of satisfying an immense num ber of creditors, chiefly for small amounts, which in the aggregate represented the formidable figure of 14,200,000 dole. In the meantime the run on the National Bank for gold continued till the 14th inst., up to which time the bank had paid away 3,000,000 dole. of its gold, and in anticipation of the decree authorising an increased emission of notes, the bank freely dis counted on the 12th and 13th inst. to the extent of 14,000,000 dole., and thus alleviated much of the immediate pressure on the commercial com munity. The first decree relating to the events above sketched was promulgated on the 13th, and em powered tho Bank of Brazil, in virtue of the law of June 5, 1853, to issue notes to the extent of three times the amount of its disposable capital in gold. This was followed on the 14th by another de cree, in virtue of the same law, in consequence of the representation of the Bank of Brazil, granting the said bank permission to suspend the payment in gold of their notes, and making the notes of the bank a legal tender in all public departments in the city and province of Rio de Janeiro. A meeting was held the same day at the Bank of Brazil, at which were present some of the chief creditors of Messrs. Souto and Co., as well as the representatives of all the banks and banking esta blishments of the place, for the purpose of ex amining that firm's balance-sheet. No feasible plan could be resolved on to meet the emergency, owing to the very large sum due to numberless small cre ditors, and every one feeling that the responsibili ties of such a heavy advance were too great to be thought of, notwithstanding the unanimous desire of preventing a judicial liquidation of the suspended bank. Besides a meeting and representation from the members of the Prat's, another meeting was convoked by the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works on the 16th inst., which was attended by the directors of banks and heads of banking houses, but nothing could be definitively settled. The government, however, having taken the opinion of the Ministers of Justice and Finance on the 16th, a Council of State was called at 9 p.m. of that day, and it was resolved that a "suspen sion of payments " during the term of 60 days, to date from the 9th inst., should be decreed. We give an extract from a translation of the de cree which was published on the 17th : "In consideration of the extreme gravity of the oommercial crisis which at present weighs down the commercial community of Rio de Janeiro, EMPRESS FROM PARIS. MAN OUR OWN RABIS, ?MADLY EVIIDICL The Emperor and Empress of Russia are not travelling quite so fast as was expected ; instead of sleeping at Lyons this evening they will not get further than Mulhouse. I incline to think that after all the Emperor Napoleon will not go to Nice till after the Czar's departure. At all events letters from Marseilles state that Admiral Bonet Willaumez, commanding the squadron of evolutions at Toulon, has received orders to hold himself in readiness to escort the Emperor to Nice "in the early part of next month." Now, according to the latest news, the Emperor of Russia does not propose to stay st Nice longer than the 29th of this month. It would follow, therefore, that the visit of ceremony which Napoleon 111. thinks he owes to the Empty's' of Russia will not even, to use the cautious language of • semi-official journal yesterday, " coincide " with the presence of her husband at Nice. The Patric is not satisfied of the untruth of the recent assertion of the Prase (which, however, passed almost unnoticed as being incredible) that a secret treaty exists, dated in July last, by which Prussia guarantees to Austria the enjoyment of her Italian possessions. At all events, the Paris observes, it is a strange thing that while M. de Bismarck's journal, the German Northern Gazette, declares there is no such treaty, the New Free Press of Vienna assumes its existence, and only ques tions the wisdom of having entered into it. The Petrie thinks the question ought to be sifted to the bottom. The Paris Tribunal of Commerce has just pro nounced a judgment of gaat interest to the thea trical world. Before the revolution of 'B9 the Thiatre Francais bad the privilege of drafting from the provincial theatres any actor whom the management might think worthy to be one of the " comedians in ordinary to the King." A summons from the theatre in the Rue Richelieu sufficed to cancel any provincial engagement. The celebrated Fleury, and many other artiste of renown, made their debuts in Paris by virtue of this regulation. Napoleon L by a decree, dated from Moscow, revived the privilege, and it has been repeatedly acted upon down to the present time. But it is now judicially decided that the decree of January 6, 1864, establishing what is conventionally called the "Liberty of Theatres," has virtually repealed the Moscow decree, and that the Thiatre Francais has no longer any right to disturb engagements made by actors with provincial managers. The cue which gave rise to this important decision was au action brought by the manager of the Marseilles Theatre against M. Lamy, who had accepted an engagement with the Thiiatre Francais to act in the Gendre de M. Puirier. The court has sentenced K Lamy to pay the sum of 3,000 imam as liqui dated damages for the breach of his engagement with the Marseilles Theatre, and lays doe 4 the law that the old prerogative of the Tbatre Francais is incompatible with the principles of liberty in matters theatrical proclaimed by Napoleon 111. in January, 1864. M. Nonbel, the mayor of Agen, called a meeting last week, at which it was resolved to erect a monument to Jasmin, the patois poet. A journal states that a 'distr. of Jules Gerard, the lion-killer, who was living ar Nice, dropped down dead in an apoplectic fit when she read the news of her brother's death in a newspaper. There are no signs of any upward reaction at the Bourse. All descriptions of securities were de pressed to-day. Rents fell 10c., both for cash and account, closing at 65f r. and 6.3 f r. 100. Mobilier fell lOfr. Most of the railways were as much as Mr. lower. Seville-Xerie continues to fall. A Vienna journal mentions • fresh case of the abduction of a young gir! who had been confided by her mother to the convent of Doebling. The parent applied to the director of police, but the authorities have not as yet been able to obtain any traces of the child. The beads of the convent reply that the superior of the establishment had disposed of the young girl as she thought fit, as the daughter bad not expressed any desire to see her mother sfitin. Baden letters mention that the King of the Belgians wu a few days litck premot at a soiree given by the Countess do Itehagne, of Paris. The Bing and QllOOO of Present, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchene of Baden, and the Primer of Hasse were also among the guests. Some idea of the enormous amount of smoking in the world m►y be formed from the facts that ofte of the Brazilian mail•packete recently brought home 6,000,000 cigar., and that the American mall steamer which left Southampton last week landed before her departure 2,000 balee of unmanufactured leaf tobacco. She bad brought ft from New York, took it on to Brenton, and without landing it there brought it to Southampton, from wheat. it was out to London to be shipped for the 'Notional'. The rupture of the submarine cable from Algeria to Spain has been already mentioned. Advice@ from Car. Hagen' state that it may workel for half a day when the accident took place at some miles distance from the Spanish coast. The loss caused by the rupture is estimated at nearly 1500,000 fr. The whole of the Mediterranean near the Gut 01 Gibraltar is said to be subject to such violent under cornets, that there seem. to be great doubt as to the pomi. bility of making electric cables strong enough to resist their action.

Tito train copiloted of one saloon and several firshclaas car• stages of the North &dere Railway, and was ia charge of Mr. Christison as far me Berwick, and subesqoactly of Mr. Liogard, of the North British Railway. The coaster, with the infant prier* is her arzna, stepped into a carriage and pair at Waverley station and drove to Douglas Hotel, in which apartments had been secur e d for th e n i g ht.

Tag REPRESENTATION OE TYNENol7TH.—Eleo time-Ting excitement has early commenced in Tynemouth. Mr. G. 0. Treyslyan, who is to contest the borough at the forthcoming election in the liberal ioterest, hes made his deed ; and, apprised of the presence of the enemy in the field, Mr. R. Hodgeco, the conservative locum teems, hastened to the scene of action. For the first time since his memorable appearanoe upon the hustings in April, 18.31. he met the electors and ocoolectoes face to face m the Albion Assembly Rooms, North Shields, on Saturday evening, the proceedings on the occasion being of • icily and anything but deoorous character. A considerable por tion of the spesch of the hoe. gentleman was devoted to a review of his opponent's recently published book, " A Com petition Wallah,* the object being to establish • so-celled discrepancy between Mr. Trevelyaa's electioneering utter. anms and the declarations of his work oa the subject of the Penology, Bill. Both mistimes have entered upon an active canvass of the borough.—Neircaark Chronicle. GENERAL GARIBALDL —The following is an ex tract from a letter addressed to the Glaegoto Herald by Mr. Robert M'Tear :—" Having just returned from a visit to Goosed Garibaldi at Captors, I think it will be gratifying to the public to learn the latest authentic news from the • Island of the Sea.' I found the gerieral in perfect health, the wound being completely healed, and without pain, but leaving a stiffness in the ankle joint, rendering it necessary to have recourse to the carved oak stiff mot him by • Glasgow working man, end which is now his coostant oornpanioa. The gene ral desired that I should inform his friends iu Scotland that the primary object of ' his Doming to Britain was to visit Glasgow and that be would not rest satisfied until he bad perfornied that most pleasing duty, which he hoped to accomplish out year if events in Italy permitted. In regard to hie no soddenly leaving Englaed, and the controversy which ensued admit it, he assured me that, whatever he might have said or felt in the heat of the foment, he is now convinced that it was owing to no pressure from foreign powers, but entirely out of consideration for his health; and he said that, instead of showing any cowardice regarding bins, Palmerston, Mu esli, and Gladstone had shown the greatest courage, and had heaped honours upon him. He said, " Gladstone has been too good • friend to Italy tubs suspected fora moment." FATAL GUN ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held in Westmoreland on Thursday last, before Mr. Thompsoti, coroner, upon the body of Mr. Edward Kennett Courtney, second eon of the Re.. F. Oourteaay, of Martoo, in that county. The deceased, who was 26 years of age, had been out shooting over the estate of his family at Great Strick land on Thursday, the 6th inst.. in company with a game keeper. On returning in the afternoon they were met by • servant with • dogcart about a mile from Morlaud. Mr. Courtenay placed his run under the seat at the back of the conveyance. Both barrels were loaded and cocked. and the muzzle pointing towards him. He was in the act of ismer. ine • rug, when one of the barrels went off lied lodged its content, in his left Mod and arm. He was driven imme diately to a surgeon, who dressed the wounds, but the unfortunate young man died on the following Tugger from nervous exhaustion. The jury returned • verdict of "Accidental death." INCENDIARISM IN THE EASTERN COVICTIM—We deeply regret again to have to call attention to the spread of the diabolical crime of inoendiarism in this and neigh bouring counties. Three fires have occurred in this neigh bourhood during the past week, each of which was unmis takeably the result of a deliberate crime. In each case large stores of grain just harvested, numbers of poor dumb animals, as well as buildings acid agricultatel implements, were destroyed bv the flamer, mod what had a f e w hours before been a smiling Nene of peace and plenty was re duced to a hideous and fetid heap of smoking ruins. In the recurring prevalence of such outrages it will not only be necessary that our constabulary devote all their vigilance to the detection and capture of the perpetrators, and that our magistrates display their determination to do their utmost to put a stop to such a state of things, but it may become advisable to make such alterations io the law by which incendiaries are punished as shall mere effectually deter those who have a mind to follow their evil example.
