As the distress in the Cotton Districts deepens, we observe an improvement in the local temper which was much needed, and which was sure to follow upon any adequate conviction of the great ness of the calamity. We hear less and less fault finding with all measures of relief but the parti cular one which the censor advocates. It is exceedingly easy to find just fault with every method of charity when the charity is public and on a large scale ; and there will always be more or less of such criticism, because there are always critical people in every society, always some fanatics, and always some selfish persons who excuse themselves from their proper ex penditure of money and trouble on the ground of disapprobation of what is proposed. We have seen a great deal of this in the course of the summer ; and one of the strangest directions taken by the critical spirit has been in regard to the young factory-women, who are, next to the chil dren, the greatest subject of anxiety. There has been a sort of scrambling for the respectable young women, as if there were not enough respect able young women to fill up, many times over, all the schemes proposed for their employment and their rescue. As the dreary weeks pass on, it becomes but too plain that after Miss RYE has happily succeeded in her doubly-blest plan of emi gration, and Mrs. Porree, in her excellent method of placing out girls in domestic service, and all the committees in the towns which have opened sewing schools, there is still a great multi tude left in desperate need of work and wages, of clothing, and even food. If all good men and all good women in every town in Lancashire could work their respective schemes to their own wish, they would still find crowds of sufferers waiting for help. This is now becoming plain enough. Where there are sewing-schools, the poor girls are frantic to get admittauce, in far greater numbers than can be received. When they see that the doors are shut, they go far away, where they are not known, and sing ballads in the streets, to get pence to feed old parents or young brothers and sisters. By all accounts there is no honest occupation that these young women are not eager to undertake. The reports from employers in all directions are so favourable to them, that there is every encourage ment to open the greatest possible variety of em ployments to them, instead of disparaging any. It does not appear that the ladies have on this omis sion more than their share of the partisan spirit in which their sex usually abounds. It does not appear that the ladies are answerable for the strange notion, loudly proclaimed from Blackburn, that there should be sectarian sewing schools, of all things in the world ! It is " A Churchman" who tells the public that it would be wrong and foolish for young needlewomen of all sects without distinc tion to sit in the same room, exercising the same industry from their common want of daily bread. At Ashton strifes run so high as to leave the suf ferers in the lowest destitution ; and these strifes are conducted by men. We may hope that Reglishwomen, sensible of the honour and privi lege which that name expresses, will see and feel what their duty is in such a case, will refuse all participation in quarrels of sects and parties, and will devote themselves to their proper business— that, namely, of feeding, clothing, and protecting the greatest possible number of women and girls till the cotton manu►acture resumes its course. Their benevolence should give them clearsighted nese to perceive that every act of rescue is an act of local charity, whether the rescued one goes or stays. That a colony is benefited, or that a girl is living a hundred miles off; does not prevent their good fortune being a local bene fit. The money is spent in saving them at a stroke instead of by a weekly dole, and it is probably much the cheaper way of the two in the long run. We should not have supposed it necessary to make so simple a statement but that there is still a good deal of opposition to any aid which removes the young people from the spot, or which costs more than the shilling or eigbteenpence per head per week which is assumed to be enough to live on in idleness. The ladies of the Lancashire towns must not let themselves be discouraged by any such ob jections. If they see their way to placing or em ploying their suffering sisters to advantage they must persevere, leaving opposition unnoticed,when it is possible, and keeping their own minds open to the merits of every reasonable proposal which may be brought before them. There is one now which it is to be hoped the ladies of Manchester and other towns in the dis trict will take into their immediate consideration. There does not appear to be any opposition to it at present, and it is not easy to see how there could be any ; but the Manchester ladies should see that the thing succeeds at once, to an extent which will make everybody eager to help, in the certainty that they cannot hinder. A letter lately appeaMag*. the Mumlaft:rl Guardian, under the signature of As Chainmil of one of the Relief Corn tscorinsi provision of ready-cooked titi to m certai n cases of distress. TN s was -imam up by some one, apparently a sensible housewife, who proposes the establishment of cooking schools, for the preparation of the food given in relief, and the training of some of the factory girls in cooking. The editor of the Manchester Gnardian expresses very emphatically his approbation of the scheme, and appeals to his townswomen to carry it into effect. If they will permit us to say what we think, we can assure them that we shall see with hearty satisfaction a stir among them on behalf of such a work. It is suggested that cooking schools would bo almost self-supporting in a very short time. • The sewing schools, admirable in every way, will still require a constant supply of material, or money for the pay of the workwomen, or both ; but it appears that the waste of money on unwise pur chases of food would go far towards paying for cooked provisions. There are too many factory women who, knowing nothing of economy, spend their pittance on bread hot from the oven, or on watery potatoes ; or they change away their dole of meal for some costly relishing mouthful, in their natural disgust at their monotonous food allowance. For the same money, or the same value in kind, they might have savoury food from 'a school kitchen, and a variety of it ; and, at the same time, a considerable number of young women would be learning lessons of household economy and comfort which will be a benefit to them for life. The plan is no novelty. Our readers may remember the admirable account furnished, a few year ago, by the incumbent of the place, of the result of such an experiment in connexion with the National School at Sandbech, in Cheshire. For a mere trifle girls were trained by the score in routing, baking, boiling, and stewing ; kitchen physic was supplied to the sick, and good meals to the healthy. Why should not the same thing be done all over Lancashire I The way pointed out is to take a house in a populous neighbourhood, fit it up with stoves and utensils, engage au in structress (unless the ladies will act that part themselves), prepare homely dinners for sale at the lowest price, and give the young women meals in return for their services. When the savoury stews, and the joint, and the good plain puddings, and the light sound bread, and the well-cooked vegetables become known in the neighbourhood, there will be quick returns for the outlay, and, as the projectors say, the kitchens will soon be almost self-supporting. It is rather surprising that, as a measure of economy, this has not yet been done. What hinders its being begun to-morrow f The ladies of Manchester are appealed to by the projectors ; and the work does indeed seem to lie ready to their 1 hand. From the moment that they take it up they will have sympathy from far and near ; and, if they want substantial support, it surely will not be absent. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY E.

While at Turin Victor Emmanuel promises the deputation from Forli that before the end of the year be will he at the Capitol, and while letters from Turin begin again to state that the ministry has received favourable assu rances from Paris, Francis IL convokes his faith ful followers at the Quirinal, and after thanking them for the loyalty with which they have served the principle of legitimacy, adds that he hopes to be able before long to repeat these words of satis faction and confidence in Naples itself. It was on the Gth inst., we are assured, that the fallen King of the Two Eficilies held this language to his little court, adding that he would remain true to his former promise to observe the constitution of 1848, which be had re-established, and to fulfil all the engagements entered into at Gaeta, with some exceptions imperiously com manded by circumstances." Advice. from Rome state that Francis 11. has decided on quitting Italy and joining his family at the Chateau of Bioderstein, in Bavaria. The publication of Garib.ildi's letter upon the affair at Aspromonte has brought a severe penalty upon the editor of the Diritto of Turin, viz., 2,000 fr. fine and 18 months' imprisonment. This does not, however, deter the liberal journal from publishing the letter of the Garibaldian Aims to M Rattazzi, which appeared in yesterday evening's Express, and which has excited much indignation against the government. The Morimeuto of Genoa, of the 15th, says : " Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, about 200 Garibaldian prisoners were landed, and immedi ately taken to the forts under an escort of troops, carbineers, and police. They are all very young men, in rags, without shoes, and their beads bare —many of them have on only drawers and a dirty shirt. Several of them, worn out by the fatigue which they have suffered, had great difficulty in keeping on their feet." (MINIWS TIUMHANIS.) BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Szrr. 19, llonuta.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (ram ova owl( col PARIS, THURSDAY Emma. The nava very justly remarks that the Italian government is just now speaking much better than it act& The Official Gazette and General Durando's circular despatch speak in firm and dignified terms of the necessity of Italian unity, with Rome for its capital. The Minister for Foreign Altair% makes the remarkable admission that the "orderof the day of the volunteers was after all but the expression of a real necessity." How, after this, is it possible for Rattazzi to go on seriously with the prosecu ' tion against Garibaldi The Pays, which, after some fluctuations, must now be classed as an ultramontanist journal, denies that the words lately used by Victor Emmanuel to a deputation, were, "Before the end of the year we shall be in Rome," and asserts that he said, "Before the end of a year from this time the question which preoccupies everybody will have re ceived a solution conformable at once with catholic interests and those of Italy." The latter words would mean just nothing ; M. de la Gueronniere would endorse them with pleasure. It is important to know what the Kiug really did say. The Sport, often well informed about the doings of the court, announces that the Emperor and Empress will not stay at Biarritz beyond the latter end of this month, and that the hunting establishment is all ready for them at Compiegne. I I This news, if true, may have an important bearing I upon the great and much vexed question of the general elections, fur a correspondent of the lisdepead,ance Beige says that if the Emperor leaves Biarritz before the 4th or sth of October, it may be assumed that M. de Persigny's wish for a speedy dissolution will be complied with, but that if his Majesty should stay there till the middle of next month the present Chamber will run out its full term, and the elections will not take place till next year. Captain de Caster, of the staff, aide-de-camp to General de Lorencez, has arrived in Paris with the flags taken from the Mexicans, and which be has been charged to present to the Emperor. He is also the bearer of despatches for his Majesty from General Lorencez, and is on his way to Biarritz to deliver them. Bullier's Correspondence mentions a rumour that these despatches are highly important, since they contain proposals for an arrangement on the part of President Juarez. Tho ehronique de l'Ouest of Mans, which had a first warning the other day, is now visited with a almond for an article in the number of Sept. 12, which is described as " an attack upon the prin ciple of universal suffrage, and • gross insult to the government established by it." What funny universal suffrage it is when no man can safely speak his mind! A writer in a government journal, who is pro bably of Irish extraction, lansezts that France does not follow the example of Russia, and reap the " benefits" of " disinterested" intervention in the East.

TBZ MAMMOTH BALLOON. • In spite of gloomy and threatening weather, there was a large attendance of spectators at the Crystal Palace on Wednesday, to witness what bad been announced as the " last ascent for the moos •of Mr. Gossett's mammoth balloon. When it had bees duly inflated, voider the soperintendenos of Mr. Ohree, the manager of the Crystal Palace District Or Company, the balloon was 'coveys . d to that portion of the grimed' from which it was in , tended to ascend. It bad been publicly announced that "partial ascents" would be made, but so fresh a breeze was blowing that Mr. Cowell at first declared it to be unsafe, and positively declined to make the attempt. Anxious, however, not to appear as if he had broken faith with the public, he reconsidered his determioation, and consented to make one partial ascent before setting off for the voyage in the evening. The car was quickly filial, some ladies being 'modest the parengers, and the great halloos, fastened by loose ropes to the ground and to • tree, rose ra pidly. When the time arrived for her descent, it became plain that Mr. Coawell's misgivings had been well-founded. The monster swayed to and fro, and the workmen employed at the ropes, whether from nervoussees or from stupidity, seemed at a loss what to do. Seeing that the balloon was descending at some little distance, and that no means were being taken either to break its fall or to prevent it from re-ascending, Mr. Olaialier, who was standing amongst the spectators, rushed forward at fall speed, followed by ooe or two other gentlemen. The car struck the ground heavily; the task of preventing it from rebounding was far too greet for the strength of the few volunteers ; and is lees than it takes to write these lines, the balloon rose again, cerrying Mr. Olaisher and two others into the sir. Whilst one descended, hand over band, by a rope, Mr. Welsher and another greyed the car as firmly as they could ; and Mr. Coxwell, seeing his old companion le dan ger once more in a somewhat perilous position, gripped him by the collar. After a few minutes of painful anipanas, the balloon descended. By this time there were heeds enough to hold her down, and Mr. Glaisher again reached terra firma in safety. His coat was torn, but he had sustained no armorial injury. Had the work men employed for the parpre shown but half the alacrity and courage of • ew amateurs, this scene need not have occurred. All the party, however, for the great sweet (11 in number) having taken their seate—the grapnel having been secured, the Whist bags counted, and the usual preparations made with even more than ordinary care,' . since it appalled likely enough that the journey would be one not altogether free from danger—Mr. Co:well at length gave the word to let go, and then, amidst the cheese of the crowd, the monster see med to bound into the air. The de nest, which occurred at a few minutes before six, took place on sloping ground in the parish of Mickieham, near Dorking. We understand that it is Mr. Corwell's intention to make one more ascent from the Crystal Palace, several gentlemen having been disappointed in obtaining seats. An anent from Winchester, ender the auspices of the officers there —scene of whom shared in the expedition we have described—will take place on the Ist October. The utmost height reached on Wednesday was • little under a mile and shall. Me.. LAnra AT MarscHERTER.—Mr. Laing yea. terday received an address from the Manchester Chamber of Commerce expressing their sense of the rioundos and congratulating him on the success, of his financial policy in India. The hon. gentleman, in acknowledging this tribute to his services, briefly referred to his late dispute with Sir Charles Wood, and then passed oa to the larger question, in which this country is so deeply interested. For the next year or two, he said, within wee likely to be done which would largely immerse the emptily of cotton from India ; sad if, daring the bird 12 menthe, • million and a quarter bales should arrive from that country, M believed it was as much u could reaeonably be expected. If therefore it should be impossible to get at the cotton stored in the Southern States, the present cries must go on with augmenting force for the next twelve mouths ; bat he believed that many months would not elapse before the ter. minstion of the struggle in America, and the recognition by England and other great powers of Europe of the Southern Confederacy.

FURTHER SPREAD OF THE SMALLPO.I SHEEP. (From the Derizes Goalie of yesterday.) The continued spread of this unfortuitat. , virulent malady, in • way which bids debases not on l y t o the laws of contagion, t every theory which th e mo o t scientific among our v eterinary bu professors have laid d o v e , is a matter which demands the immediate attention of .d! flockmasters; and for their own pemparratiou we hope that, before soother week has passed, there will not be an owner of sheep in the county of Wilt' who will not have enrollt o l his name as a member of the association which has nos been organised by the leading flockmasters in the coustr " for preventing the spread of small-pox in 'beep add atrdiok compensation to those who may sustain hem Inc e th special enema" On Saturday evening, rumours were rife coseernieg & number of separate outbreaks, and on Monday inomin;!*, heard that Professor Ganigee (who is still exerting hin,wif in this neighbourhood) was on his way into Ikrkshire. He wait, however, soon stopped on his road to inspect the N e t of Mr. Isaac Dark, at A vebury, where two cams of eoo . fluent small•perz in the early stage had exhibits,' themselves. One of the affected sheep had, it a p. pealed. been seen ailing as far back as Tuesday the inst., but had not been separated until the day previous to Mr. Gamgee's visit. There is therefore great reason t, fe ar that the disease will spread among Mr. Dark's flack (shotconsists of between 300 and 400). although every are is caw being takes to carry oat the system of separation w hkl i proved so beneficial in the case of Mr- Giddings' tick Barton. — iron Avebury, Profaner Garogee went on to I, Church's at Aldboanse, where several more lambs a n d „a ewe have been seined. Mr. Church is very active le i t , venting the further spread of the disease. but oat" is continued misfortune, to one of those " rases stub are so much to be dreaded—we mean ono of those ci•ei which an animal passes through every stage of the di e ease unobserved, and so infects • considerable nurel, tro f animals without being detected. It will be remembered, from what has previously app..* ir our paper, that Mr. Church had sold 100 lambs at I:,k y fah.; but disease in his flock was not recognised anti; I fortnight after this, though it appears that the sbepL er d had observed a lamb Mbar on his return from the fair. The e 100 kmbe of Mr. Church's had been purchased by Mr. belt, of Langley Farm, Berke ; and Mr. Hulbert, dears. safely not knowing the symptoms of small-pox, sus ~d several animals to die unheeded amongst his dock of hewn three and four hundred lambs. The deetrnetion wh i -h ensued may therefore be well imagined. Professor Gun.e. on his visit to Langley Farm on Tuesday, saw twelve cum, and many more were separated immediately afterward.. Of Mr. Lousley's conduct we masa speak too higik He has afforded every information to Professor Gauze. and thus all the sheep which Mr. Lousley purchased at Marlborough Fair on the 22nd of August have heel traced. It appears that he purchased 210 lambs of WS. Neste, of Allmoniegs 100 of Mr. Wilk. , of Lena, 99 of Mr. Goodell. of Manton ; SO of Mr. T. P.

The Meek which had beta mixed with Mr. Neate's infected lambs were, therefore, ft will be sees, separated into three lots, and have since been care fully watched sad kept clear of ell other animals. By these means a great deal of anxiety, if not of los, b ee been awed to the Berkshire farmers, and we are glad to learn that there is sow so danger whatever that the small pox should spread through Mr. Lostaley's sheep. It is due, too. to PrefineorGamree to say that it le owing t e his activity and moray that • great deal has been brought to light which would probably sever have been known until istmeees mischief had bees eases& It is through hi, ie. strumentality that the public have been made aware of the existence of the disease at Stanton, and it was a bold deter. minstion on his part to have the bodies of two animals which had been buried with the stall-pox upon them co dr.

SPEECH OF VICTOR HUGO AT BRUSSELS. The following is a translation of the speech de livered by Victor Huge st the dinner reoenUy given in his honour at Brunel,: "Gentlemen,—My emotion cannot be expressed. You will be indulgent if words fail me. It I had only to reply to the honourable chief magistrate of Brussels my task would be easy ; I would only have to repeat, in order to praise a magistrate who is so popular, and a city which is so nobly hospitable, what Lain all your minds. I need only be an echo, but how can I thank the other eloquent and cordial voices which have spoken of me? By the side of those great publishers to whom we owe the fruitful ides of a universal publishing-house— a kind of preparatory bond between nations, I see journaL isle, philosophers, eminent writers, the honour of literature, the honour of the civilised continent. I am troubled and confused at finding myself the centre of such • fete of in tellect, and at seeing so much honour reflected upon me, who am but a conscience accepting a duty—a heart resigned to sacrifice. How can I thank you ? how shake bands with you altogether? The means are simple. What do you all—writers, journalists, publishers, printers, publi cists, thinkers—reprenent? AU the energy of intelligence, all the forms of publicity, you are mind— Legion—you are the sew organ of a new society —you are the press. I propose • toast to the press—to the pram of all nations— to a free press—to a press powerful, glorious, and fertile. Gentlemen, the press is the light of the social world, and wherever there is light there ix something of Providence. Thought is something more than a right—it is the very breath of man. He who fetters thought strikes at man himself. To speak, to write, to print, to publish, are in point of right identical things. They ate circles constantly enlarging themselves from in telligence into action. They are the sounding W&TAIS of thought. Of all these circles—of all these rays of the human mind—the widest is the press. The diameter of the pre sis the diameter of civilisation itself. With every diminution of the liberty of the press there is • corresponding diminution of civilisation. When the free press is checked, we may say that the nutrition of the human family in withheld. Gentlemen, the mission of our time is to change the old bases of society, to create true order, and to substitute everywhere realities for fictions. During this transition of social bases, which is the colossal work of our time, nothing can resist the press, applying its power of traction to catholicism, to mill taryism, to absolutism, to the dense blocks of facts and ideas. The press is force. Why? Bemuse it is intelligence. It is the living clarion ; it sounds the reveille of nations ; it loudly announces the advent of justice ; it holds no account of night, except to salute the dawn ;it becomes day and warms the world. Sometimes however, strange occurrence ! it is it that gets warnings. This is like the owl reprimanding the crow of the cock. Yes, in certain countries the press is oppressed. Is it a slave ? No, an enslaved press is an impossible junction of words. Besides there are two modes of being enslaved—that of Spartacus and that of Bpiatetria. The one breaks his chairs; the other shows hie soul. When the fettered writer cannot have recourse to the first method, the second remains for him. No : let despots do what they will ; I call all those free men who hear me to witness, and you, hi Pelletal), have recently said so in admirable language, and, moreover, you and many others have proved it by geeesous example—there is no slavery for the mind. Gentlemen, in the age in which we live there is no salvation without liberty of the press, but, on the COO. tansy, misdirection, shipwreck, disaster everywhere. There are at present certain questions which are the questions of the age, which are before us, and are inevitable. There is no medium—we must break upon them or take refuge in them. Society is irresistibly sailing on this stream. These questions are the subject of the painful book of which such splendid mention has been made just now. Pauperism, parasitism, the production and distribution of wealth, money, credit, labour, wages, the extinction of proletarianism, the progressive decrease of punishments, wretchedness, prostitution, the right of women, who consti. tote half the human ram, the right of a child who demands —I say demands—gratuitous and compulsory education, the right of soul, which implies religious liberty—these are the problems. With a free press they have light thrown upon them ; they are practicable ; we see the precipices about them, and the issues from them ; we may attack them and solve them. Attacked and solved they will save the world. Without the was there is profound darkness. All thew problems become immediately formidable. We can oily distinguish sharp outlines ; we may fail of fiuding the manure and society may founder. „ Quench the phases and the port becomes • rock. Gentlemen, with • free press error is not possible ; there is no vacillation, no groping about in the programa of man. In the midst of social problems, of the dark cross-paths, the press is the indicating finger. There is no uncertainty. Advance to the ideal, to justice and to truth ; for it is not enough to walk, you must walk forward. How are you going ! That is the whole question. To counterfeit movement is not to accomplish progress. To make • footprint without advancing may do for passive obedience—to walk about for ever in the path is but a mechanical movement, unworthy of man— let us have an aim—let us know where we are going— let us proportion the effort to the result—let an idea guide us is each step we take—let every step be logically connected with the other—let the solution come after the idea, and let the victory come after the right. Never step backwards. Indecision in movement shows emptiness of the brain. What is more wretched than to wish and not to wish! He who hesitates, falls back, and totters, does not think. As for me, I can no more admit politics without a head than 1 can Italy without Rome. Since I have pronounced the word Rome, let me interrupt my thought for a moment and direct it to that hero who is lying down on his bed of pain. Indeed be may smile; glory and right are with him. What strikes one down—what crushes one—is that there can be found in Italy—in that noble Red illustrious Italy —men who draw their swords against this virtue. lb thew Hal ans, then, no longer recognise a Roman! These men call themselves men of Italy ; they shout out that it is victori ous, and do not perceive that it is decapitated. Ah! this is a sad misadventure, and history will start back indignant before this hideous victory, which consists in killing Garibaldi in order that Italians may not have Rome. Gentle men, who are the auxiliaries of the patriot ! The press. What is the terror of the coward and the traitor? The press. I know it, the press is hated, and this ;is a great reason for loving it. Every indignity, every per. mention, every fanaticism, denounces, insult', and wounds it as far as they rap. I recollect a celebrated encyclical, some remarkable words of which have remained on my memory. l• this encyclical a Pope, our contemporary Gregory XVI., the enemy of his age, which is somewhat the misfortune of Popes—and having ever present in his mind the old dragon and beast of the Apocalypse, thus described the press in his monkish and barbarous Latin, gala igwea, ealigo, im petus intmanis Curs strepdu horrendo (a fiery throat, dark ness, • fierce rush with a horrid noise). I dispute nothing of the description. The portrait is striking. A mouth of fire, smoke, prodigious rapidity, formidable noise. Just so. It is a locomotive which is passing ; it is the press, the mighty and holy locomotive of progress. Where is it going Where is it dragging civilisation! Where is this powerful pilot engine carrying mt . Lions ! The towel is long, obscure, and terrible, for we may say that humanity is yet underground, so much matter envelopes and cradles it, so many superstitions, prejudices, and tyrannies form a thick vault around it, and so much darkness is above it. Alas! since man's birth the whole of history has been subterranean. We see nowhere A the divine ray ; but in the nineteenth century, after the French revolution, there is hope, thew is am taioty. Yonder, far in a distance, • luminous mist appems It increases; it increases ever► moment ; it is the future ; it is realisation ; it is the end of woe, the dawn of joy; it is Canaan, the future land where we shall only have around us brethren and above os Heaven. Strength to the sacred locomotive ! Courag e to thought ; courage to science ; courage to philosophy. Courage to the press ! courage to all of you writers ! The . hour is drawing nigh when men, delivered at last from this dismal tunnel of SAO years, will suddenly bunt forth in all its dazzling brightness. Gentlemen, one word more, and let me make it, with your kind indulgence, a personal east To be is your midst is • happiness. I thank God, who hoe given me is my herd life this charming A PARMER__COMMITTED POE ATTEMPTED MURDER 111 SUFFOLK.
