Tea detailed reports of what has been done at Sydney and Melbourne to relieve Lancashire dis tress are such as to make us proud as Englishmen of our brethren in Australia. These have proved themselves generous in the best sense, and what they have done may show the world the spirit in which free men can and should help one another. May the noble sentiments which have been ex pressed follow the contributions which represent them to the manufacturing North, and help to comfort and sustain those who are called to bear the cruel trials of these times. The people of New South \Vales send home about 5,5001., and those of Victoria about 4,500'. by this mail, sums made up of contribu tions from all classes of the community. It is always satisfactory to see the common participa tion of a people iu measures prompted by public considerations; but in a colonial population, when the relief of misfortune is in question, this community of action has a peculiar significance. Large numbers of our colonists have good reason to know what sharp distress is, while they are not hardened by the luxury of artificial life, and tempted to drown the recollection of past trials in the enjoyments which are opened to them by suc cess. There is more than benevolent pity in the exertions made at Sydney and Melbourne ; there is the intelligent sympathy of one industrious population for another, and mingled with this an honourable jealousy for the self-respect of those who, through circumstances entirely exceptional, are for the moment in a position to receive assistance. Governor Sir JOHN YOUNG undertook to declare thifeeling of the community in this respect. He said: " We are not here to dole out alms of our super " fiuity to helpless paupers ; wo are not met to " give assistance to those who cannot help them " selves, but we are met to render the sympathy " of generous hearts to honest industry and self " relying manhood. (Applause.) We are met to " say, in reference to these men We are your " equals and brothers, and to you, as equals and " ' brothers suffering • calamity which ought not " to fall on you alone, we are ready to ; tender " the full measure of our assistance, and at the " same time, in so far as we may do it, to ex " press our full concurrence in that principle of " non-intervention, and that respect for the " rights of other States which every free man " must feel, and which it is the duty and the " interest of every free man to maintain " ' inviolate and sacred.' " (Continued cheering.) This sentiment pervades the speeches made at the meeting at Sydney, and is most honourable to the speakers. There is nothing interested or selfish in the high respect and admiration which the re solution moved by Mr. Speaker MURRAY ex pressed. We can all appreciate the convenience which flows to us from the virtues of others ; but the colonists do not immediately profit by the patience they extol. From a political point of view it is satisfactory to remark the complete and unanimous approval by the principal Australian colonies of the strict neutrality which the Imperial government has ob served in relation to the American war. Not a doubt is expressed as to the propriety of standing aloof, not a hint is dropped that any other prin ciple than that of non-intervention is applicable ; and this not because there is not the greatest freedom and some difference of opinion about the necessity and propriety of the war. At the Sydney meetings some speakers, like the Rev. Dr. LANG, thought the people of the Northern States of America, instead of fighting, should have cried " Good riddance," and left the Slave States to rot in isolation ; others thought differently. Nobody, however, was found to say a word for the barbarous slave oligarchy; nobody suggested that England ought to take it by the hand and lead it to a place among the nations of the world. Such unholy sympathies cannot germinate in • community which recognises the source of its prosperity in the energy which the freedom and equality of its members inspires, and which thereon founds its hopes of greatness. Free themselves, and devoted to industry in its various forms, they have the thoughts of freemen about others, and can feel nothing but contempt for • pretended " chivalry " which supporta itself by the degradation and robbery of an oppressed race. It is not easy to read the report of the Sydney meeting without being impressed with the convic-, tion of the speakers as to the superior eligibility of colonial life for large masses of the population who THE EXPRESS, stay athome. The opinion of aresident in New South Wales or Australia is not indeed authoritative as to the efficiency of emigration as a means of relief from present and pressing distress. But the con trast of suffering in the North of England and prosperity in the Colony is too strong not to excite regret that more of our workers do not in a spirit of foresight overcome the barriers, often imaginary, which separate them and their families from a state of high material welfare. The working man who wrote home to a Lancashire friend that letter from Queensland, so full of pride and gratitude, which was read at the Sydney meet• ing—who exulted in his sacks of flour and chests of tea, his cow, his couple of horses, and eleven hives of bees—can think of nothing but how the friends he left at home are to get out and share his happiness. " When I think of the state of Lan " cashire, I do feel for the dear old friends I have " left behind. Ah, ye poor factory people of " C—, if you could but see how comfortable " your old friends are out here you would make " haste to be with us. This I can tell you, that " some of the persons who once worked at B---'s " mill for a few shillings per week are now worth " their hundreds of pounds. I know one who has " got a thousand pounds in the bank, and in addi " tion to this he has his farm, and horses, and " cattle. " No doubt this good man would admit that he had known some emigrant& who regretted leaving England, men without the emigrant's constitution and temperament, or disqualified by taste and habit for a colonial life. But the spectacle of actual comfort and competency realised all over the land ought to have its influence when the privations of this season have passed away. The colonies want citizens, and English merchants and artisans also have the deepest interest in seeing them dotted with townships full of settlers who can write, " Thank GOD, we are far away from want and " poverty—from relieving officers and poorhouses. " Our hearts are not, as it were, pierced through " to the very core by the sight of misery and dis " tress on every hand. The great bulk of us live " on our own farms or in our own houses, and I, " in the seventh year of my colonial life, can lite " rally sit under my own vine and figtree with all " the pride of an Englishman, and, I hope, with " all the gratitude of a Christian. And, mind gi you, it is within the reach of all who have a " mind to be industrious and sober." It is natural and kindly of the Australians to wish that our destitute people were over there just now in a laud of plenty, and we do trust 1 1 that, however insignificant the diminution of the aggregate distress which can be hoped for by means of emigration, the subject will be coma dered in no selfish or exclusive spirit by those on whose co-operation the removal of their country men and countrywomen to more prosperous shores depends. The opposition and discouragement which have been recently offered to well-considered proposals of emigration in the centre of the suffer ing districts appears very impolitic. It is, however, with the contributions and not the suggestions of the colonists that we have more especially to do at this time. Their fraternal liberality has increased the Relief Fund by the munificent sum of 10,0001. It is a noble offering nobly made. Ix Lancashire there is a difficulty which the women of England could deal with suc cessfully to a certainty, if they were fully aware of what is wanted. The difficulty is about the children's clothing. Their poor clothes are dropping off them now, and the family chest is empty, the coats and frocks being at the pawn broker's, or sold long ago. Even now the children can hardly make a decent appearance, and as winter comes on the case will be worse. We may tell the women of England what we understand to be in their power in this difficulty. There are very many women in the upper and middle ranks who have time to give away—spare hours or days. Let thaw of them who understand shopping look after the odds and ends of stock in the clothing shops and warehouses of their neighbourhood. At all times, and especially at the close of each season, there are good sound materials of clothing to be had cheap, remnants, old-fashioned articles which the shopkeeper or warehouseman is glad to sell off. Let the ladies help to clear off these odds and ends, and they will get clothing for children of all sizes at the very lowest cost. The boys can be made tidy by blouses, and blouses may be made of any stout material, of cotton, linen or woollen. Small pieces of cloth or stuff will make cape for boys. As for the girls, remnants are to he found in every draper's shop, short lengths which will make chil dren's frocks, or aprons and pinafores. While about it, such pieces may as well be secured for short gowns and aprons for the women. List (once in such request by gardeners for their wall fruit trees) can be got for nothing in clothing shops and private families ; and this is easily made, we are told, into warm capes for winter wear. These materials should be sent to the sewing-rooms established in the Lancashire towns ; and there they will be made up, and dispensed to the best advantage. If the ladies would set about this at once, racing the purchase-money among their friends, and enlisting the good will of the shopkeepers, there would be clothing provided, at very small cost, for not only the boys and girls, but their parents and elder sisters. There are no bounds to the ingenuity and zeal of Englishwomen, when they are once fairly interested in any benevo lent scheme ; and if our country women could but be made aware of the vast good theme sewing-rooms are doing, and the pressing want of clothing among the workers and the children, they would presently be sending parcels from every town and village in the kingdom—putting into their packages any half-worn clothing from their own families which could be spared. Dresses and shawls that are merely faded, and children's suits that are out , grown, would be a valuable addition to the gift. We commend it to the women of England to see that the Lancashire children are not kept from school nor the young women from the sewing , rooms by deficiency of clothing. SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1862. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AMERICA. HIGHLY IMPORTANT. THE CONFEDERATE ARMY BEFORE WASHINGTON. NEW YORK, Kam 4, Eviguto. (Per Europe', by Telegraph to Halifax sod from Queenstown.) A rumour gained general currency yesterday that General Jackson was marching ou Baltimore, but it has not been confirmed. General Pope evacuated Centreville on the 2nd inst., awl the whole Federal army has fallen back behind the fortifications around Washington. General M'Clellau has been appointed to com mand the capital. The Confederates are massed in heavy force at Vienna, 12 miles from Washington. They are also in force between Leesburg and Chain-bridge, and are making demonstrations as if designing to cross the Potomac in the neighbourhood of Poolesville in order to arouse the Secession spirit in Maryland. The Federals have evacuated Winchester. Engagements occurred on the let between Kear ney's brigade and the Confederates under Colonel Stuart, two and a half miles west of Fairfax Court-house. The Confederates were repulsed, but Federal Generals Kearney and Stevens were killed. Considerable fighting also occurred on the 2nd inst. between Fairfax Court-house and Washington, during the retreat of the Federal army into the fortifications on the Virginia side of the Potomac. The planks have been removed from the chain bridge across the Potomac. The report that General Buell has captured 7,000 Confederates is unfounded. The excitement at Cincinnatti and Louisville con tinues. The Confederates have occupied Lexington, and are reported to be within 49 miles of Cin cinnatti. The Federala have evacuated Frankfort, Ken tucky. It is reported that the Federals have entirely de stroyed Baton Rouge, but the report does not gain entire credence. An iron-clad Confederate steamer arrived at Cardenas, Cuba, on the 20th ult. She is supposed to be the Ovieto. She had already captured several American merchant ships in her cruise off the Bahamas. It is rumoured that Mr. Stanton has been re moved, and replaced by General Halleck m Secre tary of War. Latest by telegraph to Cape Race. NEW YORK, SEPT. 5, EVENING. The Confederate army now occupies precisely the same position around Washington as it held pre viously to the departure for the peninsula. The impression still prevails that the Confede rates will attempt to cross into Maryland. The Federals have evacuated Baton Rouge. Two Federal gunboats, however, still remain off the city, which has not been burnt, as was reported. The Confederates, under Generals Breckenridge and Van Dorn, numbering from 20,000 to 50,000 men, threaten New Orleans. General Butler is making great preparations for Ithe defence of the city. NEW YORK, Seer. 2, Evmac. (Per Europa yid Boston and Rocbe's Point.) No more fighting is reported in Virginia. General Pope is still receiving reiuforcemebta at Centreville, where General Banks is announced to have arrived. Everything was burnt at Manassas to prevent it falling into the hands of the Confederates. The Federal wounded were left to the care of the enemy after Saturday's (1) battle. General Burnside evacuated Fredericksburgh on the 31st ult., after burning the government pro perty and the bridges, and retreated to Acquia Creek under cover of the gunboats on the Potomac. Confederate scouts have been seen in the vicinity of the Chain-bridge, near Washington. The Confederate General Ewell is reported to have been killed, and Jackson wounded. The Federal flotilla has left the James River and proceeded up the Potomac. M'Clcllan now commands only that portion of the army of the Potomac which has not joined Pope. _ _ . The Confederates are reported to be marching on Pike Town, Kentucky. The Federals have evacuated Lexington, Kentucky, and are pre paring to evacuate Cynthiana. These movements have caused immense excitement in Cinciunatti. All the male citizens bare been called out for the defence of the city, and all business suspended. Martial law has been proclaimed in Cincinuatti, Covington, and Newport. Very great excitement also exists at Louisville, all the male citizens of which have been called out. The Kentucky legislature has removed from Frankfort to Louisville, ..taking with them all the state archives. From 20,000 to 30,000 Confederates are reported 'near Lexington. Their movements in Kentucky are of a generally formidable character. News has been received of the Confederates having been defeated at Bolivar, Tennessee, and of the Federal General Buell having beaten them at Chatanoonga, capturing 7,000 prisoners. The Federal flotilla has destroyed all buildings on City Point, near Richmond. Sharp comments on General M'Clellan's loyalty have been made in the New York press. The Washington correspondent ofj the New York Time, says that confidence in General Pope is much shaken. The drafting order has not yet been practically carried out anywhere. Large numbers of raw recruits are passing through New York fur the seat of war. In the Confederate Congress resolutions have been introduced favouring an aggressive war, and also proposing that a proclamation be addressed to the inhabitants of the North Western states offering to guarantee the free navigation of the Mis sissippi and Ohio rivers to their months, if they I will desist from further prosecuting the war.

A Turin letter, of Sept. 9, nays : Within the last two or three days there has been much talk in political circles of the Abbe Stellardi's sodden journey to Rome. This prelate is the King's first chaplain, and the rumour goes that he is charged to deliver to the Pope an autograph letter front the Princess Pia, in which her royal highnees announces her approaching marriage t . the King of Portugal, and begs the Holy Father's blessing. It will be remembered that the penmen is Pine IX.'e god-daughter, and that be held her over the baptismal font in the year of his elevation to the papacy. But it is pre tended that, besides the avowed object of Abbi fitellardi's IniNion, there is another and a secret one—namely, to speak in the ear of the Pope, for the last time, words of conciliation, and to submit proposals for an arrangement between the Holy See and Italy. Of course the answer is known beforehand ; it will be Hon powwow. But, foreseeing the time when Italy, in despair, may take her own salvation into her own hands, the King wishes to have a clear con science, and to be able to say that up to the last moment he spared no effort to realise that accord between Italy and the papacy which was the dream of Carom. M. RATTAZZI AND THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT. The Turin correspondent of the Iwiependance writes as follows, under date of Sept. 9 : I am in a position to confirm and to complete the in formation and details furnished to you by your Paris correspondents respecting the intentions of the imperial government, the personal disposition of the Emperor, and the visit of Prince Napoleon to his cousin. AU that my colleagues have written to you is perfectly correct. Not only does the Emperor refuse to make the least concession to the dearest aspirations of the Italians—Rome— bat he refuses even to discuss the question or to explain the motives which induce him to maintain the status quo. Neither H. Nigro, nor the ministers favourable to Italy, nor Prince Napoleon himself have been able to obtain from him the slightest explanation. His re. spoose to all has been as laconic as clear and explicit—" I ainnot withdr►w my troops from Rome." It is impossible to get another word from the Emperor, except that he has signified that he did not wish to be spoken to on this sub ject during his visit to Biarritz. This desire has been noti fied in rather sharp terms to the Italian government from three different quarters. You will easily conceive that this creates. situation for the Rattarai government which it will be almost impossible for them to maintain. After sacrificing to the French alliance their sympathies, their sentiments, their old friendships, their popularity, their reputation for independence; after sacrificing to it Gari baldi and hie brave comrades ; after jeopardising in ace rtain measure the popularity of the King himself, there wee reason to expect better dispositions on the part of the imperial government—that government which could by a word establish tranquillity in the peninsula and draw a veil of oblivion over the disasters of the last few days. There is still some hope that the dispositions of the imperial government will be modified, and it is with this hope that H. Itattaxxi and hie colleagues still remain in the government. They are encouraged to remain by that frac tion of the French government which is favourable to Italy, and which has not yet withdrawn. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (moo ova ows cosassrosozerr.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Opinion Nationale publishes a correspond ence from Rome, which throws a curious light upon the recent assertions that the Emperor has undertaken to guarantee the Pope iu the enjoy ment of his present temporal possessions. The story is as follows :—One of Cardinal Antonelli's brothers, named Luigi, is married to a charming woman, and there is a rumour that an attache of the French Emba'msy is one of her admirers. The existence of this rumour afforded the clerical party an opportunity too precious to be let slip. The attache was induced in some way or another to communicate to Cardinal Antonelli secret despatches, which arrived at the embassy during K Lavalette's ab sence. The latter having got wind of something wrong, wrote secretly to Paris to desire that a sen sation despatch might be sent to him, the coutents of which should be false. It was in compliance with this request that the despatch was sent which the France made a great fuse about, assuriug the Pope that the patrimouy of St. Peter would he guaranteed to him. This despatch was at once surreptitiously made known to Cardinal Antonelli, and he in his joy hastened to communicate it to La France. M. de Lavalette went to the Vatican a few days afterwards, and was pressingly asked by the cardinal whether he had any thing to communicate. " Nothing." " But, surely— " Nothing, your eminence." " But we are told that your government has sent you a note promising to secure us our present ter ritory." "I know nothing of any such note." " That is strange," insisted the cardinal, " for it has been alluded to in La France." " Really ; but where did the France get it from 1" "Doubtless from the nuncio." "Oh ! very well," said M. Lavalette ; " I will refer to the nuucio at Paris." At length, when the cardinal saw that Mgr. Chigi would be compromised, he preferred to sacrifice the really guilty party. Such is the story which the Opinion Nationale says is "given as positive," but which, very wisely, it does " not warrant." There has been a serious fall at the Bourse, which is attributed to a rumour, not confirmed as far as I can learn by any authentic telegram, of an attempt to assassinate M. Rattaazi. The really alarming state of Garibaldi also ismitributed to the panic. The great decline in the Bank of France's discount, indicating a want of commercial confidence, can hardly be a cause of the fall, because the Rente opened with much buoyancy, at 10c. higher than yesterday. The final quotations, 69fr. 40c. for cash, and 69fr. 45c. for account, show a fall of 25c. and 20c. Mobilier fell 16fr. 25c., and the Italian Loan 50c. The Lyons, Orleans, and Southern railways fell 7fr. or Bfr. The following note has been communicated to the Paris journals from the Ministry of the Interior : _ _ A despatch published yesterday evening and this morning by cattalo joureals relate' and siegularly exaggerates two amid:iota which occurred in the roaditead of Gibralter. The real facts are these :—A fire broke out a few days back cm board the Prince Vides., but was almost immediately ex tinguished. Nearly at the sews time a collision took plate between the Plasm and the Charente, the two made re. mishits some slight damage. No serious loss is mentioned as having been mused by these two incidents. It is curious that the Patric, which originally pro mulgated the news complained of, thinks itself safe in abstaining from the publication of the above com municated note, and by way of confirming its statement gives prominenoe to a telegram from Madrid, stating that the crew of a French disabled vessel had landed on neutral ground near Gibraltar, and also to a paragraph from the Ocean of Brest, reporting that the mixed vessel Wagram had re ceived orders to put to sea in all baste to take up the passengers of a vessel which had been obliged to put into Gibraltar, iu consequence of " serious damage" occasioned by a collision. It is not too I much, therefore, to infer that the communique' in question is unreliable. ITALY. (viol OUR OWN CORRZSPONDENT.) NAPLES, &FT. 6. Our protracted detention begins to become un pleasant. The wing of the Qwestura in which we are kept is filling too fast by the measures of La Marmora. Meet of the prisoners are detained for crimes and misdemeanours, but we have had lately three new-comers who belong to our class of poli tical prisoners, detained upon suspicion. One of them, the printer Feats, is suspected of having printed some of the productions of the clandestine press which troubles the sleep of our Proconsul; the other, Signor Ricci, is a well-known character in Italy, who began his political career as one of Mazzini's friends, but after a lengthened stay at Paris, and different phases of politics, has at last subsided into Muratism. It is rather disagreeable to be in inevitable contact with such a person, but we are soon to be relieved of his presence. La Marmora has the greatest regard for every Mnratist, and sends him, to-day, back to Paris. Bianchi, our Bourbonist fellow-prisoner, 18 likewise soon to participate in La Marmora'a generosity ; his liberation is announced as immineut; he might even have been already in the enjoyment of his liberty, had he accepted the first proposition of the Quiea tor—viz, to take a passport and leave Italy for a while. All the rigour falls upon us Garibaldiaus, who have never been hostile to Victor Emmanuel, though we oppose Rattazzi and his tendency to screw Italian liberty down to the level of French liberty. I fear much that such an experiment will have fatal results for the monarchical principle in Italy. The street demonstrations and the public meetings of the " Societe Euiancipatrice " have, indeed, been suppressed, but the Italians, deprived of the means to make their views publicly known, will return to political conspiracies, and the musket of the volunteer may soon be transformed into a poniard. Garibaldi's name was, until now, Victor Emmanuel's strongest support in the South ; Rattazzi has knocked the hero down, and at Palermo the Italian officers are already treated in the same way as the Austrians in Venetia, they are excluded from society. Let the ministry beware ; the south of Italy can never be governed from Turin, or by Piedinoutese ; if they do not get into Rome iu 1862, they will lose Naples and Sicily in 1863, or retain it only as conquerors by force of arms. The affec tion which bound the south to the new throne, has been killed at Aspromonte. I saw yesterday the clandestine revolutionary paper, Roma o Mork, which, for all La Marmora's state of siege, still continues to appear. Of course it is highly coloured and exaggerated, but since the papers under the control of the police are too tame, the public does not refuse an incendiary publica tion, as it would have done under regular govern ment. After the Venetian refugees had been expelled from Naples by La Marmora's order the Hunga rians, too, were transported to Upper Italy. 1 can assure you by personal experience that the Vene tians are rather troublesome : we had but five of them among us, and those only for one night, but they made such a noise that, with all my sympa thies and good wishes in their behalf, I was very glad to get rid of them. They were all furious at the unconstitutional mode of their expulsion, and quarrelled with the poor policemen on guard, who only obey the orders of their superiors. Of remarkable police cases we have had but one, The assassin of that poor woman who died the other day before our window on the stone pavement of the-courtyard was brought to the police delegate for examination. It was her husband, an ugly short fellow with a sallow face, evidently half mad. She had been jealous of him, and in order to win once more his affections she had cut a handful of hair off his head for magical purposes, according to the instructions got from a reputed sorceress As soon as the prisoner became aware of the fact his superstitious fears drove him mad, and he threw himself into the sea, but was rescued ; but on the following day he sharpened a knife and stabbed his wife. The case was very piteous, as an evidence of the want of education and of moral training among the people. An agreeable visit surprised us at dinner. Two old nuns from a convent in the Abruzzi, having heard that some friends of General Garibaldi were detained at the Quamtura, called on us, with sweetmeats, cakes, and wino, anxious to get some in formation about the General's wounds, and to know whether Rome is soon to become the capital of Italy. I was deeply touched by their unalloyed enthusiasm for Garibaldi and Marzini—the "fathe r of Italian unity," as they called him—and by their desire to see Rome restored to Italy. When I told them that Garibaldi's blood is certain to open the gates of Rome they were much pleased, and promised to call on me again at Rome, to be intro duced to him. Taking leave, I told them that I was a protestant ; they had never seen as yet a man of such religious opinions, but they shook hands with me most heartily, with the words, "It doe s not matter, we are still your sisters." In the evening, the mother of M. Farina, Liber tines :.ecrctary, who is imprisoned with us for having assisted his master in his flight, called on me to thank me for some trifling services which I was able to render to her son. She told me that her brother had been confined in this very same Quieetura under the Bourbons, and that though the arrests are now still as arbitrary as at that time, the treatment of the detained persons was considerably changed. Now she is allowed to see her son at any hour from morning till midnight, whilst at that time she had to pay six ducats to a policeman for smuggling a loaf of bread, which con tained a letter from a friend, into the prisoner's celL It is the tenth day of my detention, and I do not know as yet what is to became of me. La Marmara told one of my friends that there is no positive charge against me ; but having asked for instruc tions about the three members of parliament, about me, and about Colonel Carbonelli, from the ministry at Turin, he mast wait for the reply. Hear he is playing fast and loose with me, for I have some in dications that the ministers at Turin tell my friends there that, being arrested by order of La Marmon, my liberation depends upon him. Mark well, that it did not occur either to the cabinet or to their pro consul that the detention or liberation of a prisoner depends in free countries upon the judges and the law, not upon the good pleasure of the men in power.
