Aftesass. /11. UM LONDON, ruzsad Y, APRIL 15. IT can be no surprise to Sir C. WOOD, pay more than to the rest of the world, that the lAssembire operatives should follow the example of the mill owners in protesting against the protective system act up in India on behalf of the cotton manufac ture there, since 1859. There will soon be peti tions on the table of tho House from the work- people of perhaps every cotton mill in the kingdon against the import duties on cotton goods and yarns levied in India ; and never, certainly, was any remonstrance better founded, or more tho roughly reasonable than that which is likely to be signed by the whole of our largest manufacturing clam A public meet ing recently held at the Manchester Corn Exchange, with the Mayor in the chair, received the report of the deputation who recently waited on Lord Panmarron, and discussed the terms of the petition with which the House will soon have to deal ; and certainly the impression of all who have attended to any of the proceedings must be that there never was a case in which ern right was more manifestly all on one aide. So lately as the 24th of February, a Calcutta Grwtte Extraordinary warn leaned, containing a Resolution of the Government which sets Lan cashire asking whether the authorities have for gotten their promise that those import duties should be the very first tax to be repealed. The Go vernment Resolution proclaims that money had come into the Treasury so plentifully up to the end of January, that the License tax was not wanted. This License tax had been proposed, among the rest, when Mr. WILSON took Indian finance in hand ; but it was imposed only last July. The Govramoa. GENERAL declares his approbation of the tax, am the best means of making the small trader and artisan class bear their share of the public bur dens ; and ho regards it as a proper moue*, in any time of need : but he announces that it is not wanted at present, and therefore it is dropped out of the financial system, and the amount already raised is being returned to the payers. While this is going on the import duties are ope rating on Indian society in a way which will not be forgotten in native history, long after these duties have gone the way of the License tax. The native cotton manufacture is burdened with no tax, while it is bribed by a heavy duty on the English manufacture. The natives turn away by tens of thousands from the growing of cotton or other crops to spin and weave cotton under an arti ficial advantage which ruins a multitude of Englishmen while it lasts, and will ruin a multitude of natives when it is withdrawn. According to the Lancashire petition the number of looms and spindles iu India, established or ordered, is ten times as many as before April, 1859 0 when the duties were imposed. But for those duties there would have been little or no in crease of manufacture, because it would have been cheaper for the natives to buy British fabrics ; and at the same time there would have been ample employment iu India in growing the cotton instead of manufacturing it. At this moment Lancashire men are starving for want of cotton ; and in a little while Hindoos will be ruined by the influx of English fabrics which should never have been stopped from flowing in. The Lancashire peti tioners point out that, at the least, a correspond ing burden should have been placed on the Indian manufacture; but the claim to be now urged is that there should be no burden on either. The Government has pledged itself to remove the duties as soon as it can, and does not pretend to vindicate such a tax. Yet the License tax, which involves no special injustice, is given up tint ; and Government is increasing its own difficulties with the native manufacturers while it encourages a factitious industry to involve more and more capitalists in setting up ma chinery, and more and more labourers in working it, when it is certain that the whole structure will soon be overthrown. The mischief is so certain, anti must be so great, that it is well that the Government, both in India and at home, is pledged to the repeal of the duties. It must now go through with its task, and let down the native manufacture which it has so imprudently set up. For the sake of all parties, the sooner this is done the better. The other features of the cue, as seen from Lancashire, are very impressive. The stations of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway, and the halting places on every other road leading to Bom bay, were in February the scenes of uniialial activity. The c.tton offers itself in unmanageable quantities ; and the I:ineffe tells of a single train of sixty cars laden with 2,500 bales. That cotton would best servo India by coming to England ; but a daily increasing proportion is detained for Indian consumption, in order to make every native who wears a cotton garment pay more for it than he used to do, and than he will do hereafter. .lust at the same time something im portant was taking place in the Punjaub. There the load is laid out in large breadths of cotton tillage : and the people expect to send their thou- sands of bales to market ere long ; so they were ready to hail the sight of the first locomotive that i l ever appeared in their region. We read of the honours paid to it—the tents pitched for a festival where it was to pass—the great men who came forth to look at it, the gallant escort it had of sowers and police, the volunteer band greeting it with " the Conquering Hero," the photographers with their apparatus, and the wondering multitude. First appeared four bul locks abreast, and then four behind them, thirty three times over, a harnessed drove of above 130 bullocks, and then the truck on which the engine rode, and then the bulky creature which made the bullocks look like a team of dogs, the elephant l 1 THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, iB6t pushing from behind. By this • tabs that engine must be running ; and by this lime next yeas it will be bringing down for ahipssnt new material for Lancashire industry, if the import duties are repealed, and the cotton is not intercepted, to the disadvantage of everybody. Meantime there were swarms of labourers on new tracks all over India, opening roads into valleys and plains where cotton culture was going on, connecting villages with each other and with markets right and left, and with distant porta. These are spectacles witnessed from Lancashire with mingled feelings of hope and • very natural pain and disapprobation. It is quite time for Lancashire to be considered at least as carefully as India. Our Government and country are under deep obligations to the great class engaged in manufacture there for the sound sense and exemplary moderation they have shown in regard to our relations with America. To this moment the Federal successes, have not turned their gaze from India as the true cotton field for England. While we are receiving con flicting accounts of the condition and fate of New Orleans nobody agitates for a premature demand of the cotton there. There is sufficient knowledge abroad to satisfy Lancashire that there cannot be any considerable supply at New Orleans, or at any other chief Southern port. What cotton there is, is up the country ; and most of it will, in all likelihood, be burnt. Next year there will be none, except on some few spots where the Federal authorities settled themselves in time for the 'wing. From the Levant, and from some of our own Colonies, we may look for • good deal of good cotton in a year or two ; but India is, and must still be, our main hope. It is most unfortunate that, at such a crisis, discouragement should pro ceed from that quarter ; and if Parliament is wise, it will receive the Lancashire petitions in such a way as that Government may not only make • new profession of its Free Trade prin ciples, but may be stimulated to give Lancashire and India at once the benefit of those principles. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. TURKS/. TEM SULTAN 'AND THE EDITOR. A Constantinople letter of April 2, in the Paris Prase, says : I cottelnde with • piece of news which will utonish you. On Wedseaday last, towards midnight, an officer of the palace, escorted by some of the Sultan's servants, Galled upon the editor of the Tlyd ; ju+aani•AAsaf, and rid to him, "Effendi, the Padiechal bap you to come to the palace immediately." "It is very late," answered the journalist, "and lam rather unwell ; will not to-morrow do?' "No, no," was the reply, " you must oome directly, and we have brought a horse expressly for you." The party set out ; but finding the Galata bridge open to leg several versels pus, they were delayed, sad it was three in the ir.orning before they reached He plass of Dolins-Eaktch. The Sultan having gose to bed, the editor of the Yerdyumd•i-AAest pissed the rest of the night on • sofa in the pares. In the morning he had an interview with the Sultan, who told him that he was sorry to re how little the press spoke of public affairs, and that he wished to see all fade of importance in print. This is delightful—but the opus dilate of the Porte do not share this opinion of his Majesty. He may love light, but they prefer darkness, sad hold that an ignorant people is more easy to gouts thou en enlightened one. The Courrier cl'Oriest met have had some Wiling of this story, for in a little article of Saturday it speaks as follows : " We do not believe that the infallibility of ministers is a dogma, and we should be glad to 6od that their sole are not inviolable. The discussion of public affairs would be mart useful both for government sad the governed, and we venture to say that it would not be displeasing in the highest regions of power." The words in italics have been universally remarked OM= AMERICA. .) . Per America by tologisph to Boston, sad from Roche', Point, NEW YORK, Anna, Ennio. General Burnside has occupied Beaufort without opposition. Five hundred Confederates retain possession of Fort Macon, but are reported to be cut off from supplies.

In Congress, Mr. Sumner has made a long speech advocating the abolition of slavery in the district of Columbia, with compensation to the slaveowners. The prize steamer Magnolia, with 1,000 bales of cotton, has arrived at New York. The House of Representatives has reported amendments to the Tax Bill, striking out the tax on flour, and reducing the tax on cotton one cent per lb. Mr. SWS/00 has introduced a resolution in the Confederate Congress to withdraw the commis sioners from England and abandon further attempts to obtain British recognition.

Fort Pulaski has been entirely invested by the Federals, and all communication with Savannah out off. The surrender of the tort is daily expected. 500 Confederates occupy Pulaski. Should they refuse to surrender General Sherman will shell the fort. Savannah and its approaches are strongly forti fied. From twenty to fifty thousand Confederates are supposed to occupy the town. The Senate has passed the resolution to oo.operate with States desiring to emancipate slaves, by a vote of 32 to 10. The resolution was strongly opposed by the leading members from the Border States. It appears likely that the bill 'for the abolition of slavery in the district of Columbia will pees the Rouse of Representatives by a large majority.

SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 10th contain the following items of intelligent* ;—The motion of IL Castro relative to Mexico, involving • vote of censure on the government, was rejected in the Congress by a majority of 138 votes to 39. In the course of the debate, the Minister Calderon. Collantes denied that there was any rupture be tween the three allied government& The conven tion signed at London was still the bond of union between the three nations, and any statement to the contrary was incorrect. It was true, however, that England had withdrawn • part of her force, but not as a protest against the object of the expedition. The English government had said from the first that it did not intend to send troops farther than Vera Cruz ; but its flag is sufficiently represented at St. Juan d'Ulloa to authorise the intervention of the British plenipotentiaries in ulterior con ferences. In explaining the approbation of the Spanish government of the convention of Soledad, Calderon-Collautea said that it nevertheless "respected the ideas which might have been con oeived by a government with which we are on terms of the strictest friendship, and with which we con tinue and hope to continue to entertain the most cordial relations." In another part of his speech the minister declared that in the affair of the preliminaries of Soledad " a much wore marked and more profound difference had occurred between France and England than between France and Spain." This latter observa tion shows that the whole value of the minister's xplanationa turn upon the meaning of the word " rupture," as tad by him in the former part of his speech. It remains uncontradicted thatywhereas France repudiates the conventionlof &Wad, Eng land and Spain accept it. K Collantes concluded by saying that no final decision could be taken until there had been a sort of collective examina tion of the convention of %Wad by the three governments. The Council of State held a sitting the preceding day, when M. Isturitz was formally installed as president. Lieutenant-General Don Rafael Echague, Captain-General of the Philip pines, arrived at Madrid on the 10th, and in the course of the day had an interview with the Presi dent of the Council. It is not expected that he will leave for Manilla before the end of May. The Pensiamienta Eapanoi contains an article suggest ing to the government the propriety of immedi ately suspending the construction of wooden vessels, and of building iron-plated ships as rapidly as possible. GARIBALDI. "The nomination of Garibaldi," says the Espero of Turin, "as General in Chief of the National Guard of the Kingdom, has been decided on. This measure is intended by the government as a mark of esteem and confidence in the general." Garibaldi pursues his triumphal march through out Northern Italy, and the enthusiasm his presence excites gives nowhere signs of abating. From Parma he travelled to Canal-Maggiore, on the Po, and thence visited Cremona; from Cremona he again crossed that river, and followed the line of the &milieu railway as far as Straddle, where he again crossed over to Pavia. From this latter city he will again appear at Milan, and thence pro ceed to Bergamo and Brescia, and probably to Desenzano, on the Lake of Garda, where he will be in front of the Austrians across the borders at Peechiera. Already the Austrian garrisons along the eastern shore of the lake have caught the alarm, and are everywhere on the watch. The fever of excitement aroused by the hero wherever he shows himself exceeds description. lie addressed a deputation of young men from the various educational institutions of Cremona in the following words : Youth should indulge no vices, for vice is the disease of the soul ; youth should love instruction, because an, unedu cated man is no better than a monkey. He who acquires most knowledge rises nearest to his Maker, from whom his soul springs. Instruction should be grounded as solid moral education, and on this the social edifice should rest. Do you care for honour? Honour can only be acquired by virtue and instruction ; nations, like individuals, when weak, are insulted and enslaved. Bear with other people's weaknesses ; submit to no insults ; love instruction ; instruc tion is bread and independence it availed me in foreign lands to place me above want. Love instruction ;it was the want of it which permuted our joining together in a single family. lied Italy been better instructed _ . she would long before this have koowu that her boundary was not the wall of a town or the hedge of a garden, but the high Alps and the broad era; she would have swept from her all that defiles her. The municipal and scholastic authorities at Cre mona have decreed that these memorable words should be written in golden letters on the threshold of their gymnasium. As he took leave of the people of Cremona he thus concluded his farewell speech : I know you will never bo at peace until this Italy, so fair and so long unhappy, shall be rid of the foreign dominion which soils it. No! we must not rise in the morning with the stain os our brow o/ barium brethren who are yet slaves! Farewell! RI7BBIA. A communication from St. Petersburg states that orders have been sent to Cronstadt to discon tinue the fitting out of the Baltic experimental squadron. The Russian government has decided on only maintaining this year the number of vessels necessary for the requirements of its naval stations. " This," says the letter, " is an excellent measure to be taken at the moment when the progress made in artillery and naval constructions is about to pro duce such a modification in the maritime armaments of sU countries." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ma ovra PARIS, MONDAY EVINING. The Patrie thinks quite small beer of Sir William Armstrong's new gun, and says, although of course the invention is a great secret, that the French go vernment has got one which will beat it into smithereens. Sir W. Armstrong's gun is so heavy that no seaworthy ship can be made to carry it, but the French artillery has a nice little light article which, by means of an " altogether new cylindro-conic projectile," will produce effects of which nobody has any idea. Therdore, walk up, ladies and gentlemen, and you shall see what you shall see ! • It has been remarked that the Emperor's speech to the Japanese ambassador oonveys a lesson of which their government stands greatly in need. He told them that they would see by their reception in Europe that the first duty of a civilised society was hospitality to strangers—meaning to say that he hoped the old forms of Japanese hospitality, which consisted too frequently in murder and spoli ation, would be renounced. The Japanese ambassadors, with their officers and suite, will attend the performance at the Opera on Wednesday ; Pierre de Idedicia being the piece selected for the occasion. A box large enough to hold twenty persons will be arranged expressly for them in the middle of the first tier. The Toulossais huts the following : The English steam frigate Himalaya arrived here two days ago, after having landed the Japanese embassy at Marseilles. This veered, which measures 4,000 tons, and is of enormous length, having come to an anchor in a place where she intercepted the pimp, was repeatedly requested to change her berth ; but the captain refused to move, and has by his conduct led to a complaint, which will, it is said, have to be arranged by diplomatic means. The captain, in his defence, sus that, having entered without a pilot, he was compelled to choose an anchorage according to his chart, and that he did not ass any indication of the place being interdicted. He adds that his refusal to move was in consequence of the order having been brought to him by a boat not having any official character, whereas his position as commander of a vessel in her Britannic Majesty's service entitled him to have the communication made by an officer. The Himalaya came to Toulon to take on board Rear- Adseirel Grey, who had arrived than on his way to Malta The senator General Piat, whose death is announ ced to-day, was a warm devotee of the Id& Napo leoniense. lie was the founder of the first commit tee that was formed in 1848 to promote the candidature of Louis Napoleon for the presidency of the republic.

Rail ways were from 2fr. fiOc. to Ur. higher. ITALY. (now oos owx ROME, Aram & The position of the French government towards the Papal, in the matter of brigandage, has ad vanced a step this week. From the details in my last letter, you will have seen that it has been proved that hitherto the French authorities here have winked at the armament of the bandits. Without their knowledge and permission, it would have been impossible to have obtained the opening of the gate of S. Giovanni Lateran at 2.30 on the night of the 29th March, and the introduction of the two cart-loads of brigand uniforms into Rome. Whether owing, as supposed, to Lavalette's re monstrances, it is certaw that Goyon this week re ceived a despatch from Paris, compelling him to assume another line of action. He conveyed imme diately to M. Mangin, the French Prifet de Police, the order to send away from Rome, under 24 hours, General Clary, a Neapolitan, whoi since the fall of the Bourbons has incessantly worked at the organisation of brigandage. As General Clary's proceedings have been notorious throughout Rome for at least a year, it is, to say the least of it, singu lar that only now should he receive notice to quit the city. The young Roman liberal whose arrest I men tioned in a former letter as accompanied by pecu liar circumstances of harsburs to his dying mother - _ is named Gutman°lli. He had only returned five days from Naples at the time of his capture. Since that morning he and the other arrestati have been kept, as it is called, au ferret, that is, in some spe cially odious cells of San Michele , where they are allowed no exercise whatever, and are in a miser able state of dirt and neglect. Till they have been " examined," they will not be removed from these holes or allowed the usual hour's airing in the court of the prison. As there are, however, vast baskets full of papers seized in the apartments of the 50 or 00 men arrested, papers oontaining every sort of private correspondence, and domestic and commercial memoranda and accounts, and as there is but one official appointed to go over them all, it will probably be two or three months before the unfortunates are moved into the better part of the gaol. The sister of Gulmanelli knowing these j facts, obtained an audience of Monsignor Ss , gretti, Presidtut of the Consults, and implored consideration for her t‘rother's health, which is very j bad. To this Sagretti replied that he believed the young man was nut compromised, and that he would eventually be set at liberty ; but he must nevertheless be kept au secret for two or three months waiting for his examination. The poor sister then implored that, sooner than undergo such imprisonment, he should be exiled from Rome, so as, at least, to save his life and health. " Oh for such a favour as that," replied the Pre sident, "ci mole la grazia scorana." Truly a " sovereign grace, " that of exile for a man be ' lieved to be entirely innocent ! The worst paper found on any of the arrestati is, ae I mentioned, a list of subscribers to Cavour's monument. It is said that 40,0001. are to be spent on the canonisation of the new Japanese saints. The Pope confidently avows his hope tu great benefits to be de rived from their intercession in his behalf in heaven. Row, indeed, can they fail to show their gratitude by securing his tiara here, when he will have given them their celestial crowns ? Few things in the London Exhibition will be much more worthy of notice (though their small size may cause them to be overlooked), than the exquisite MUMS sent by Saulini. They consist of four pieces showing the entire process of cameo cutting, from the shell in its natural state to the completed work ; and also of twenty of the finest of the artist's own exquisite cameos. Among the latter ass heads of Roma, of Ocean, and of Bri tannia, all of extreme beauty, and two copies of wonderful perfection from Gibson's Phaeton and his Nymph and Cupid. This last statue of the great English sculptor, together with his Venus, his Pandora, and Miss Homer's noble Zenobia, are the four statues which will adorn a beautiful circular temple forming the centre of the British Sculpture Court in the Exhibition. Trade has become brisk in Paris in consequence of the apprmelt of Faster. This Is the season, moreover, when country shopkeepers come to Paris to renew their stock and to supply themselves with fashionable staffs for spring sad summer wear. THE FRENCH PRIESTHOOD. We read in the Paris Prase of to-day :—" Certain members of the clergy are decidedly struck with tigo. Never, even in the worst days of the restoration, have the priests compromised religion and irritated minds by more insolent and maladroit provocations. Whilst the Archbishop of Toulouse, in order to 'reunite the chain of the past,' wishes to celebrate the jubilee of the massacre of the prothstants in 1662, a preacher of St. Quentin delivers from his pulpit the eulogium of Montloc, the rcaracrer, and of St. Dominic, the inquisitor. Speaking of the Albigenses and of the manner in which they were treated in the 13th century, he dedare6 thst it was necessary to oppose to heresy the influence of a great soldier and of a great saint ; that tlontluc was the ardent protector of the country,' St. Dominic the par* soldier of Christ,' and that the cause of God triumphed by the action of a weapon ' more modest than the sword, by the effi cacy of prayers.' It is impossible to distort facts more scandalously. All the world knows that this ' pacific soldier' marched against the Albigenses with cut : throats who massacred them en mane, and that three who escaped the steel of the ususins were delivered over by hundreds to the stake of the Inquisition. This is what the Reverend Father &aloe calls making the cause of God triumph pacifically.' What is the purpose of these preachers in reviving such recollections, in lying thus against history, in launching from the elevation of the pulpit such dehinces to public conscience and the spirit of their time ?"

On their arrival at the Brighton Terminus, between seven and sight, they will be farmed four. deep and will march down -street into the North steyne Knelosures, which, as we stated some time ego, have been placed by the trustees at the service of the volun teen. Here they will "pile arms," and then be allowed to " break off" and disperse in order to obtain refreshments, The gardens of the two North Steyne Inclosuree, and those of the Pavilion and the Oki ,Steyne, are all to be devoted to this rupees ; the public, of course, being excluded. About 12111/8 o'clock them troops will re-assemble, unpile arms,and march along the whole front of the Marino-parade, pest Kemp-town, turning up the road between Kemp. town and the Gas Works, which leads to White Hawk Down. The troops which arrive later at the railway terminus will alight on the Mont pellier-road side of the railway station and march down the Montpellier-mad, along Viaduct-terrace, on to the Level, whence they will proceed north ward along the Lewes-road as far as the Bear Inn, taking the road which leads pet the Windmills up to the Down'. A third route through the town is marked on the map, viz., by the Queen's-road, down West-street, on to King's-road, and thence along the Marine -parade, in the track of the first comers. But the obvious inconvenience of troops marching along so crowded a thoroughfare will pro. hebly lead to this route being dispensed with. So, again, the adoption of the cart side of the grand central route, by the Grand-parade, Pavilion-parade, and the east side of the Old Steyne will, probably, be altered to the west side, selected last year and so leaving all the thoroughfares to the Downs by J St. ames's-street, Edward-street, Sm., open to the public. The Bacehill-roadis left quite free to the public, and will no doubt be the favourite approach. The different encloser.* occupied by the troop, from the Level to the Old Steps, are lettered on the map, from A to F. The northern portion of the enclosure round St. Peter's Unwell is in. Budded among them ; but it is open to doubt whether this will be called into use. When the troops are coos oa the bill, the ground selected for the evolutions will be nearly . the same as that occupied by the Sussex Volum teen in their sham fight with the 18th Human in Sep tember last. It is called "White Hawk Down" in the plan, and is the ridge which rises about midway between the hone-shoe which the Brighton race-coarse describes. This ridge just hides from the sight of the Grand Stand the tilde-buts of the Ist Sussex Volunteer Corps ; but the whole of the troops stationed on the ridge itself will be in full sight of the spectators on both sides of the Race-hia— tus the Grand Stand side to the west and on the opposite side to the east. The formation of the troops along the ridge will be in two lime ; the infantry, in eight brigades, fronting to the Grand Stand, forming the first line, and the artillery and cavalry in the rear, the second line. The extent of the ground occupied wilt be very consider able, running parallel with the whole west wide of the race course up to the loop which is made in the new coarse for the return home. And it is thought that the removal of the railings of the loop will be nemeary, in order to make room for the movements of the troops. There are some stacks standing ou the above ridge. These stacks will be in the very centre of the position, between the infantry and the cavalry. Each infantry brigade will consist of four battalions. The cavalry will be composed of :---1. The 18th Human. 2. The Surrey Light Horse Volunteers. 3. The Haste Light Horse Volunteers. The artillery will include three batteries of four 18-pounders; one battery of four 6-pounders. At the termination of the review, the troops will march past the grand stand home ward. It is not possible to state the erect number of the troops which will take part in the review, but in all probability it will range from 15,000 to 20,000. From the above statement it will be perceived that a fall view of the whole affair will he enjoyed by the public, whether they °canny the west or the east or the north side of the racehilL The field of operations will be completely overlooked by the epebitors ' and let these be as numerous ✓S they may, one thing is certain, there will be room enough and o to spare for ell The line which we have marked out PS the racecourse is merely sufficient to show that the review will be on the south-eastern side of the racecourse, looking towards the sea, confining itself to that broad expanse °fen on the last occasion to the public, but not extending to the Oviogdesn Volley as before. This will be a most eligible spot, as the ground as undulated, and will, therefore, present many points of greater interest to the spectator. There is certaioly room for at least 200,000 people to view the spectacle with the greatest comfort. —Sussex Express. A parliamentary return just printed furnishes some important information with regard to the working of the law of limited liability. From the Ist August, 1859, to the 31st December, 1861, the number of companies formed upon that principle was 901 in England, 56 in Ireland, and 41 in Scotland, and at the date of the present return the whole of these, with the exception of 79 which bad been abandoned, dissolved, or wound-up, were still in opera tion. A striking point in connection with the Eng companies is that about three-fourths of the entire number are county or town undertakings, formed in on- MMUS instances for purposes of local usefulness, only about one-fourth having had their origin in London. Nor of these have capitals aglow ss from 1,0001. to 5,0001., and the avenge is about 20,000/. The aggregate number of limited liability companies started in the United Kingdom since the introduction of that law seems to have been 2,099, of which up to the 31st of December last 308 had ceased to exist. The new Worthing pier was formally opened on Saturday. Mr. Macready writes to a friend, in reply to request that he would give a reading in behalf of the Bath Peoples' Hall :—" I fear I shall never be able to read is public again. I have now no tones left to answer the emotions that seek for expression through the voice. If I should recover the power, or part of it, that I once pos. sassed, I will dedicate it to your cause."

The great fact that the alpaca and l lama will breed and thrive in Australia is now completely established. The rate of increase and yield of wool has to be proved by the next few years experience ; but from data furnished by Mr. 0. Ledger we mar infer that the increase will be rapid. He calculates that from 200 females and 30 males there ought, in ten years, to be 3,250, allowing for wear and tear ; sad in future years he calculates on the following result :-12 twenty years there will be 20,000 ; in thirty years, 160,00 0 . ; in forty years, 1,280,000; in fifty years, 9,760,000; yield ing 68,320,004 b. of wool, value, at 2e. per lb., 6,832,000!.

A Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels, in speak ing of the reported pregnancy of the Countess deChembord, says :—"There is only one objection to this. The Princess Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria-Este, and eldest daughter of the late Francis IV., Duke of Modena, was born on the 14th July, 1817. She is, therefore, now forty five years of age, and hes been married to the Count de Chambord since 1846. These dates give us a right to doubt the veracity of this statement." The Queen of Sheba is withdrawn from the Grand Opera, Paris, which ceased to be well attended while it was being nightly represented there.

The Odeon, Paris, had accepted a comedy by K AtsZine Hotuissye, Le Roi Soleil. described sa being • powerful satire on Louie XIV.. his peculiarities, and his courtiers. The dramatic censorship has prohibited its per formance, on the ground of its being filled with political allusions. It is considered probable that the author will appeal to the Emperor. Considerable curiosity was excited in Paris on Sunday afternoon by observing • balloon hovering for some time over Paris. It turned out on inquiry that Count de Morner, a Swedish nobleman, had applied to MM. Godard, expressing his readiness to pay for making an ascent in their company, and those amounts immediately placed them selves at his disposal. They all ascended from a spot close to the gas-works of Boulogne, and after remaining some time in the air enjoying the beautiful panorama of Paris, the *orlon travellers effected descents at Auteuil, Posey, Neuilly, and Terse,. The balloon at last, after an excur sion of about three hours, came down definitively at Levallois. _ _ _ General Turr has been restored to his rank in the active swmy of Italy by a decree of King Victor Emma- noel, dated 11th inst.
