LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 20. Tae anxiety inspired by the state of the weather is weighing upon trade in every depart ment. It is feared that irreparable damage has been done to the grain crops in many districts, and that the yield will be very deficient. More over, owing to the superabundance of moisture, it is beyond question that a large portion of the potato crop will be lost. The food question con sequently assumes an importance which throws other considerations into the shade. Not that there is any doubt of an ample supply of food being procured, and at a moderate price, the har vest in many of the great foreign grain-producing countries being, happily, abundant ; but the necessity of importing unusually large quan tities of corn, though calculated ultimately to stimulate our exchanges with foreign countries, and to benefit the shipping interest, will be at tended with an immediate draught upon our re sources, leading to disturbance in the money market. There is a prospect, too, that a deficient harvest may give some, though probably not a severe check to the consumption of those other articles of foreign production which contribute largely to the revenue. This apprehension ap pears, at least, to be entertained by the CHAN cr.L.Los of the EXCEINVEZ, who baa just asked, in some haste, for a margin of a million sterling, to protect the public service. The prevailing uncertainty checks enterprise. Some branches of our home trade are beginning to complain. Country shopkeepers, whose custom bee chiefly amongst the agricultural class, experi ence a falling off in the demand, and refrain from incresaing their stocks of goods. In the drapery and other departments the spring and summer trade has been wofully disappointing, owing to the weather. Stocks remain on hand unsold ; pay aietde cannot be met with punctuality ; and the difficulty of getting in money reacts upon the wholesale dealers. There will therefore, in all probability, be a continuance of complaint in many small trading circles. This state of things is, unquestionably, an evil ; but, viewing it in a broad light, we must not onut altogether from the reckoning the set-off involved in the saving which has taken place. For ex ample, if the weather has been so unpropitious ma to prevent the population from spending as much money as usual upon dress, there must have been money saved from personal expenditure. The accounts from the textile manufacturing districts report little absolute falling off in employ ment, but a check to business. At Manchester, notwithstanding the advance in the price of cotton, the market for cotton goods has continued flat, and the Milk of the business transacted has been at a further concession in price. The advice. from India and China are still discouraging. The woollen interest is relatively in a better position than the cotton. Spinners and manufac turers, and therefore the workpoople, are in nearly all instances fairly employed. At Lei cester, in the hosiery department, there are some shipping orders in hand, partly, we believe, for !tine:lea, which is already taking our goods in exchange for cotton and corn ; and, as some army contracts are likewise in course of execution, the industry of the place is well engaged. The re port from Nottingham, however, is much less satisfactory, a good deal of machinery being at a standstill, and a considerable number of opera tives, both in the lace and hosiery branches, out of work. The accounts from the hardware districts are rather gloomy. At Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the contiguous towns, trade has slackened, the demand both fur home consumption and exporta tion being below the average. A feature of the week has been an animated demand for cotton at li►erpool, leading to an ad vance in price and large sales. The computed stock is now reduced to 1,157,160 bales, but is still very large compared with that held at the corresponding date of last year, viz., 658,910 hales. It would appear, too, that the demand has been to a considerable extent speculative, and based upon no stronger foundation than the receipt of less favourable, but perhaps interested reports respecting the growing crop in America. At a time when so large a quantity of cotton is held on borrowed money we cannot help thinking that the course of the market will be regulated principally by that of the money market. If money become scarce and dear, the position of the holders of cotton will become difficult. The flatness of the English funds has latterly attracted attention. Many people have an abiding faith in the moveinciita of Consols as a poli tical and financial barometer ; and a fall in the price is sufficient to make them gloomy. It cannot be denied that the funds are at present prejudiced by consideration', such as those connected with the state of the crops and of foreign politics, which must also have an influence upon trade generally. But the heavi ness of Consols is exceptionally aggravated by cir cumstances which need not necessarily excite mis givings in C0111.113611:1A1 circles. As we have fre quently pointed out, the funds are kept down Ly cumpetition of other securities. During the week just closed a large assurance corporation is stated to have sold a considerable amount of British Government stock with a view to re-investment in Indian Government securities, which arc considered to Le equally safe ; and this is only one instance out of many. Moreover, it money la not absolutely drawn out of the funds, it is deterred from going into of rival investments. On Indian Railway Company =Mica sterling in hard cash account at the Bank of sale of Five per Cent. Bonds,. 4 . i54 interest Of which are alike _ byl szeRZTARY of &TM for INDIA be gleimoil. The sum required, according to the terms of the prospectus, was only about 350,0001., and the fact that no large a proportion of the holders preferred instantly to pay up in full proves that they are bond fide investors. We may thus form an ides of the way in which these new secu rities compete with Consols, by forcing forward the reserves of intending investors. It is per ceived, also, that there will be plenty more new stocks, which, to be taken up, must be rendered relatively more tempting than Consols. The re quirements of Government are excessively heavy, and must be satisfied. !Me (rant. BALMORAL, AUGCST 17.

PARIS, SATURDAY Emma. The Bourbon journal, the Gazette de France, has the impudence to publish, with much detail and circumstance, an account of Garibaldi's having been taken prisoner by a Neapolitan ship. This story comes in the form of a letter from Naples, dated August 11, which sets out by mentioning, "only as a rumour," that he was taken when on board the Sorrento by his Majesty's ship Tancrecii, but in a postscript the scrupulous correspondent says that the news of the capture is " positively.true," and that it was effected by Colonel Rodriguez at Villa San Giovanni, and he goes on to recommend most earnestly that Gari baldi's head should be out off without delay. The " enormous lying" to which the friends of Bombe, habitually have recourse is so well known that these startling statements of the Gazette have not excited the least attention. Bullier's Correspondence—not by any means a re volutionary organ—states as an undoubted fact that out of his army of 20,000 men, General de Lamo ricibre can reckon at most upon the fidelity of 7,000 or 8,000 gendarmes and foreigners ; all the rest would go over to Garibaldi on the first opportunity. It is announced that Generals Lebceuf and From sard will accompany the Emperor on his excursion to Algeria for the purpose of assisting his Majesty in a military survey of various parte of the Medi terranean coast. The Emperor, it is said, thought at one time of taking with him the entire board of national defences, with its president, Marshal Niel, but he ultimately resolved to be satisfied with two members only. This detail undoubtedly lends an additional pivancy to his voyage. At the opening of the Bourse the rise of yester day was maintained, and the Rents subsequently improved to 68.20, being 10c. higher than the last closing quotation ; in the afternoon, however, there were disquieting rumours about barricades at Naples, the flight of the King, and so forth, under the influence of which the Route dropped to 68.5 for cash and 87.95 for account, being a fall of bc. and 15c. Mubilier fell 7.50. Railways left off at nearly yesterday's prices. M. de Lamartine has just published a paper with the heading, "Garibaldi, Piedmont, and Italy," which will be read with curiosity after his long ab stinence from politics. The Irish deputation appointed to present Mar shal M`Malion with his subscription sword, is expected here next week under the guidance of The O'Donoghue, who is represented as " one of the most distinguished members of the British parlia ment." GARIBALDI TO THE WOMEN OF SICILY. According to a letter in the Prase, the want of self-reliance and persevering energy of the men of Sicily has occasioned Garibaldi some disappoint meet, and has led him to appeal to the women in the following proclamation : Liberty ! the most precious gift of Providence to peoples, has been ;mined for Sicily, thanks to the manly resolution of the Sicilians, and the generous aid of their - brethren of the continent. Liberty, difficult to pin, is more difficult to keep, as all Italy for ages has experieneed to her cost. Sicily is such a country that there is palmed in her cam to recur to foreign histories to And examples of all kinds of civic virtues, sod the women there have at all times die played a courage which has estoniehed the world. From the women of Syracuse, who cut off their th emes to make ryes of them in the old Roman days, to those of Miwaine, who encouraged their relatives to attack a lxonleulling host, there ass valiant deeds of this sex in this island. The Vespers, also, en event unparalleled in the history of nations, maw the fair islanders lighting by the side of the combatants for national independence. I myself (I recall the occasion with emotion), in denouncing from the Palace of Palermo to this generous people the humiliating pretensions of their tyrant, heard a groaning repeated by the women who crowded the halconiee, deep 1:711to turn an army pile, and that groaning was the 1 -essitenos of tyranny. Sicily is free, it is true ; • single citadel only remains in the power of the enemy ; but eleven years ago, Sicilian valour achieved the same result ; and yet that free land, through not having chosen to make a last effort, fell hack into slavery, was trodden once more under merestary feet, and brought to a worse condition than before the glorious revolu tion. Demand gracious women of Sicily, hear the voice of the man who sincerely loves your beautiful country, to which be is bound by the affection of his whole life. lie eats of you nothing fur himself, nothing for others ; but for the common fatherland he make your powerful assistance. Call to arms the inhabitants of this island, and shame those who cling to their mother's or sweetheart's aprometrings. La Cairoli, of Pavia, a rich, noble, and beloved matron, had four eons. One died at Varese on the body of an Austrian whonill he had killed; the gilded, Belle. detto, you have at Palermo, scarred with the wounds he received at Calatatimi and Palermo ; the third, Enrico, lives, though Ma skull was split open in three battles ; tout the fourth has been sent to join the same array by that ioromparable soother.

Manna, August 3. G. GAIMIALDI. THE PAPAL LOAN IN AUSTRIA.

The result certainly is out very inagui. &cot, but it was easy to foresee it : the empire is, as may be affirmed, entirely exhausted. The voluntary or Jawed offerings for the war of last year, the national loan of 2C3 million of florins, of which only two-fifths could be real. nod ; the charge of from 30 to 34 per cent. for exchanging into specie • the scarcity of provisions in Croatia, papas Dalmatia, and Istria ; the political excitenieut which exists I. Hungary and Gallica , in coosequence of their apirations after national indepeodenoe ; the example of Italy, and the diamiareging news sent from Rome to the Amato di/ Peyote, the catholic journal of Vienna—all these muntl, physioal, and political muses have contributed to render the sums. of ties Papal loan most difficult.

A letter from Madrid gives the details of a trans action that proves how strong an animosity exists between the press and the Spanish army. It appears that some soldiers of the Bourbon regiments were re cently punished, and so barbarously that their suf ferings terminated in death. The Liberal paper, La Discussion, directed public attention to the severe and illegal punishment the men had undergone ; ant, as a reply to the article, the editor, M. Riviera, who is also a member of the Cortes, received a chal lenge from the colonel of the regiment ; he could sot, he said, allow a civilian to make any comments on the conduct of military men. The duel took place ; and as the colonel is an expert shot, while K Riviera has no skill in the use of the pistol, the latter was dangerously wounded. After the duel, another officer, Colonel Almella, owns forward, avowed himself the author of the article in question, re-asserted the truth of the statement, and in his turn challenged the colonel of the Bourbon regiment ; but the authorities have interfered and prevented the duel.

The telegraph is a blank to-day ;we know no thing more of movements than we did yesterday, and there is no confirmation of the news of his having seen the King of Sardinia. There is a report that the French Emperor, disappointed in the result of various diplomatic negotiations, now encourages the King of Naples to resist the revolu tion to the uttermost. Various speculations con tinue to be made about the results of the meeting of Tteplits, but it is admitted on all hands that Austria does not mean to interfere by arms in Italy unless she shall be attacked on the line of the Minch". It is considered equally free from doubt that Prussia will not, se has been already said, help Austria in Venice against Italian powers merely. But the inellipendanee, going somewhat beyond the version of the Nord, which is accepted as being very near the truth, says that if France were to join in an attempt to take Venice, Prussia would declare war upon France. This is very pos eibly a strained construction of Prussia's promise, which, in some quarters, is understood to mean only that in the eventuality contemplated, she would send an auxiliary force to the territories of Austria Proper in order to facilitate her movements in Italy. I hear it said—on what I consider to be very good authority—that Prussia has succeeded in obtaining an understanding between Prussia, Eng land, and Russia, by virtue of which France will not be allowed to make any encroachment on the Rhine frontier, and that this is the explanation of the great explosion of rage lately manifested by the Conatitutionnei and Opinion Nationale.

THE INVAIGQ2I 014 (iie'ra coaszeromarr.) PALAZZO VITALS, MESSINA, Auousr 11. The Rubioon is passed by a bold and sudden dash : the advanced guard of Garibaldi's army crossed the Faro, and landed in Calabria, on the night of Wednesday last, the Bth inst. I will now proceed to give you all the particulars of this achievement ; and as they are derived either from my own personal observation, or from informa tion received from persons associated with the events they describe, you may rely on the details being devoid of any false colouring or attempts at effect. IF CALABRIA. On Wednesday a particular friend of Major Mis sori's told me that there was a project afoot to attack the forte on the opposite coast that very evening. The plan was thus arranged. Mission, the young commander of the Guides, with about thirty men of that body, was to emb ark in some of the boats at the Torre del Faro wheu night set in— about B.3o—and they were to push off at 9 o'clock, to cross the strait, and land just below the Torre del Cavallo, wbich they were to surprise and carry by coup de main. Mach man was to be armed with two revolvers and a sword ' • and as they ware the chosen members of a chosen corps distinguished for its bravery and devo tion, a perfect conviction was entertained that the result would be a success. It was further ar ranged that on the capture of the fort, at a pre conoerted signal, Garibaldi and as many men as the three steamers and all the boats could convey, were to pans over and effect their landing under the protection of its guns. A necessary condition of success in such an enterprise as this is a perfect knowledge of the place and its vicinity ; this was by. the young body of this—as it must be styled—forlorn hope of the national army. Mis sori had a few days previously gone on a mission of reconnaissance to Calabria—an event of some peril, as be was well known by the Neapolitans who were scattered along the coast. The major, however, safe and satisfactorily performed the duty entruste d to Lim, and returned on Monday night, bringing, together with the necessary parti culars for the enterprise, information of the condi tion of Calabria and the Calabrians, who were re presented to be most favourable to the expedition and eagerly expecting it. To return to my narra tive. Whether owing to a doubt of the adequacy of the number originally proposed, which was restricted by the jealousy of the Guides, or whether Garibaldi overruled the design, which is most probable, the force was increased to as many as twenty-five boats could carry. All the preliminaries having been arranged, Missori, and his gallant band of picked men, embarked at half-pant 8 under the shadow of the City of Aberdeen, then lying at a short distance from the shore, and at 9 o'clock, amid the good wishes and anxious expectations of their friends and comrades, they pushed oft The whole thing was done quite quietly, few but the initiated look ing on, while the soldiers of the army for whom this band of devoted men were about to prepare the way into their enemy's country wore stretched around them sleeping on the sands. Of the 25 boats that started, six having lost the track in the darkness of the night, returned ; the remaining 19 kept well together and made for the appointed spot, just below the Torre del Cavallo. nvm the same cause, doubtless, as that to which the return of the other boats was owing, namely, the darkness, but more especially from the influeuoe of the current, which here is very strongo strong, indeed, as to give rise to the story of the whirlpool of Charybdis, and which has its foun dation on a fact well known to the fishermen and mariners here—the flotilla was carried so much be yond Cie landing place, that it became evident this part of the programme must be abandoned. The favourable spot was mimed, but the boats grounded on a good landing-place. The Neapolitan'', however, were on the alert, a signal gnu waa tired from the fort., and by the time that the whole of the Gari- Nachman were landed their enemies had thrown out • chain of outposts, who instantly fired on them and fell back on the fort as they hurriedly formed in the best order they could, and rushed up a broad path called a humor; made by the mountain torrents, which here gather their forces and sweep into the sea. Miesori saw that there was no chance of taking the Cavallo, and with prompt decision led the way up into the hills, where he was certain of securing himself and gaining prestige and strength among the Calabrians who were expecting hum Letters since received from the leaders of the expe dition are of the most cheering and satisfactory character ; it apr3ars that they found the people much mom favourable and faithful to the cause oven than they had anticipated ; they had every facility and resource of the country open to them ; they were perfectly con fi dent and in the highest spirits, knowing that the means of security and de fence were always at hand and at all times avail able, while the good will of the Calabrians, as shown in their supplies and information, will prove a tower of strength. The best news, however, re mains to be told. Lary numbers of volunteers have rallied round the standard of the Garibaldians; in a couple of days t r oy had increased their force to 1,000 men, and so confident did they feel, that Missori, having heard that a column of Neapolitans had been se.et in pursuit of him, sought his foes, and attacked them with fierce impetuosity, when they were defeated with some loss—that of the former being confined to seven men wounded, one of whom is siuce dead. The failure to take the Cavallo and the consequent alum of course completely disconcerted the contin gent arrangements. The steamers, which are always cruising along this pawl of the coast, were active and on the sharp look out, while the outposts were on the qui ewe, and both prepared to any further attempts of the Garibaldians. That the fort was not captured must form a subject fur regret, because in the first place it would have enabled a large body to cross who would effectually have substautiCed their position and seemed the safe passage of the other divisions ; and, secondly, the possession of the Cavallo would have given the command of the straits mu that not a Neapolitan cru;ser dare attempt to pars with impunity. I may mention, inasmuch as I had the intelli gence from au undoubted source, that Garibaldi is not in the leant disappointed, still less discon raged, by the result of the late operations. His plan is to poesese himself of both aides of the channel ; that achieved—of which he does nut entertain the slightest doubt—ho will have the affair in his own hands. In the meantime numbers of volunteers are flocking to the colours of the expedition, and the steamers are consuming their oval, which they will find considerrble difficulty in replenishing. After the above results became known, and any immediate intention to cross was thus rendered in advisable, I took uoetudou on Thursday morning to return to Messina. A little episode of the expedition must not be omitted, especially as it pommies especial interest for our fellow countrymen. In Garibaldi's army there i* a regiment styled the Battalion Ingleae, an called, not bemuse the rank and file are natives of England, but simply from the reason that it is oummanded and officered principally by British officer*. Though there is one company which consists exclusively of her Majesty's subjects. This corps Colonel Dunne commands. Not being included in the number of Miesori's expe dition they resolved to take advantage of • good opportunity which they thought offered itself. On the morning following the departure of the for hope on Wednesday night, no intelliginoe having been received of its fate, and information of the result being of the highest importance, the English company volunteered to go alone across the strait for the purpose of making a room uoiseauce. The offer being accepted they accordingly pushed off at 4 o'olock, son., under the command of the Capitaine de la Flotte. They made direct for the Torre del Cavallo, but no sooner had they ap proached within range when the Neapolitans opened a heavy fire of ulusketwy, which the English company immediately returned, firing half-a-duzen rounds each, and were for pushing tin and effecting a lauding. The Sicilian boatmen, however, dropped their oars, and threw themselves for protection fn the bottom of theiraboats, where, in despite o threats, blows, and entreaties, they crouched in fear. After a little while they were induced to re. sumo their duty, and the boats were steadily rowed along the coast close in to the shore, while every eye was strained and every effort, short of landing, made to discover tidings of the expedition. Hav ing spent some time in these endeavours without avail, the gallant fellows were constrained to return. They however, satisfied themselves of the fact that the Torre del Cavallo bad not been taken. Since the above, several attempts—or prepare tiona for attempts—at the passage have been made both at the Faro and in Messina ; it is even asserted that two diversions were to have been effected, one by Bixio, who is at Bronte, and the other from Melaaso ; but I have good reason to know that the latter part of the statement is fabulous. Every night something to this effect takes place either here or at the point. On Friday night I saw a special order despatched by Bordone, the head of the Engineers and Artillery, to Dunne, ordering him to select 100 of his best men and send them, under the command of Major Wyndham, io the Faro forthwith ;the object was reported to be an attack on the Torre del Cavallo by the following morning at six o'clock. The order was obeyed ; but like the French monarch and his army, it was simply to march to the Faro and back again, a feat which they performed very much to their own NAPLES. The "Committee for the Union of Italy" at Naples has published a manifesto, of which the following is the principal passage : _ Our programme is—onion. Reject, therefore, every other political combination—reject any concession which may oppose its realiastion, liberty. Emancipate yourselves from the trembling school of political eunuch', and despise the fear which that school. always preaches to you.— Sovereignty of the nation. Let the country save the connt7, and let the people in their collective force claim their impreacriptible rights. Let the country constitute itself in the name of its own right, and then in the name of that right let it declare Victor Emmanuel to be King of regenerated Italy, and let it establish his throne in the sternal city of Rome. The lima& of Naples announces that on the 6th the King, attended by a brilliant staff, passed in review the troops of the city and of the adjacent places, and that his Majesty, addressing the soldiers, exhorted them to be faithfuL The same journal states that Admiral Janch had been nominated aide-de-camp to the King, in the room of Admiral del Rey, one of the carnarilla whom his Majesty had been obliged to sacrifice on account of the political necessities of the situation. The Nomads likewise says :—" The port of Messina is encum bered with vessels of all nations. Some of the forts which command the town have been armed by Garibaldi with rifled cannon of a long range. All the fishing boats of the port have been seized by his orders and moored near the lighthouse." HR. COBDEN AND THE FRENCH TREATY. We (Post) have been favoured with the following extract from • private letter, dated Augnst 13, addressed by Kr. Cobden to a friend in this country, and we have re. ceivedpenrission to publish it: " I have still no reason to doubt that matters will be brought to a satisfactory result here. Up to the present moment I have experienced nothing but candour and straightforwardness in my dealings with the French govern. went, while all the misrepresentation, falsehood, and die. culties which I have had to encounter have conic from the English side of the Channel. Nothing divests me more than the cowardice and want of honest principle iu our own politicians. Anything for a momentary cry which may give a triumph over a political opponent' seem' to be the motto of our party men. You will see that in lees than a couple of years all our politicians will be eager enough to claim the merit of having always been friendly to the French treaty. The paragraph you enclosed, giving • conveention of mine, is one of those rascally acts of eaves. dropping for which American newspaper writers are so no. torione. There is a good deal of the paragraph which agrees with what I have thougfit ; but whether I expressed it in private cesivereation is more than I could swear tq as no one expects to be made responsible for private gossip. Them ought to be the punishment of the pillory or the stocks revived for those who publish in newspapers the unguarded remarks which fall from • man in private con versation, when he frequently speaks merely to provoke • reply and keep people from going to sleep over too serious an interchange of views. No ; I did not help the Emperor to prepare his pamphlet ►bout the English and French armies and navies. Take my wont for it, however, that there is • vast deal of systematic lying in England about the French arrnamenta. Yon remember that charming old lady, Madame Wolley'a landlady, whom we rialto], who re marked—' Pauvre John 8011, quand on veut enlever son argent, ou lui fait pour de noes !' I am ashamed of the childlike simplicity with which Englishmen allow them selves to be imposed upon respecting anything French. You will see • went and sudden reaction in the public mind soon. Common sense, aided by the publication of the new French tariff, will put an end to the panic." IRREMOVABLE POOR.-REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE This morning was issued the report of the select committee appoiuted on the operation of the Act 9 and 10 Vie., c. 66, which enacts that no poor person shall be re. movable who shall have resided five years in any pariah and of the Acts 10 and 11 Vie., c. 110, end 11 and 12 Vie., cap. 110, which enact that the relief given to such ire. movable persons shall be charged upon the common fund of the union. The committee have agreed to report the follow. lag resolutions to ties house : " 1. That the operation of the act (9 and 10 Vict. c. 66) is beneficial to the poor in mitigating the hardehips Deems eerily incidental to any law of removal. 2. That the period of residence, in order to acquire • status of irremovability (tf that status be continued) may, with advantage to the poor, be reduced from five years to three. 3. That the area of residence necessary for acquiring &status of irremovability (if that status be continued) may also, with advantage to the poor, be extended from the pariah to the whole 'union. 4. That orphan children, who may on the death of their sue. viving parent be renitiveble, shall have the status of movability which their surviving parent may have &Nuked. 5. That the cost of the maintenance of such lunatics in asylums as are now chargeable to a parish within • ludas should be charged on the common fund of such union. 6. That the oontsibutions of parishes in unions to the common feud should be based upon a consideration of the annual rateable value, and the amount of the population combined in one sum, by adding the amount of the popula. lion, according to the last census, to the amount of the parochial assessment, soil by taking the result as the assessment in pounds sterling. The committee further desire to report that during this inquiry evidence has bean submitted to them of come pecu liar evils which attend the removed of Irish poor when chargeable in England. These chiefly relate to the mode and form of conducting removals, and they would, loubtleas„ be lessened by the adoption of the foregoing resolutions, OA greater facilities of becoming irremovable (by limiting the period and extending the area of residence) would be afforded to the poor. The committee, however, in order to prevent entirely the recurrence of the evils referred to, would strongly recommend that legislative effect should im given to the following prec-autions, via.:—' (a.) That no warrant shall bo boiled for the removal of any poor person from England to Ireland, except by justices amembled at • potty session or by • stipendiary magistrate. (b.) That the said justi ces or magistrate shall not issue the warrant without seeing the heed of the faintly to be removed, and being 'satisfied that each of the parties sought to be removed is in such a state of health as not to be liable to injury by removal. (e.) That • statement to this effect shall be inserted in the warrant, with the name and age of ev child under the age of 16 years so ordered to be 'emir/ together with the name of the place where the juatieni ft the pauper to hove been barn or to have resided. (ill That during the winter months no woman, or child under the age of le, shall be sent we; the Channel as a deck pameuger. (e.) That in all inane of removal of trials paupers the removing pariah shall be bound to defray the aid of the removal of soy parson ordered to be removed to the place iu Ireland which, upon evidence before justices, shall appear to be the place of birth or residence of such person. (f.) That • copy of the warrant and the depositions shall be sent, if riajuired, to the board of guardians in Ireland of the union to which the removal is to be made.' The committee desire to espiess their opinion that the laws of settlement awl removal should re. wive the early attention of the legislat•ire." The chairman of the committee wai Mr. Villiers. The witnesses included clerks to guardians and relieving officers from various large towns of England, aid frutu Belfast, Dublin, and Cork.
