Yserratuiv a skilful artist held up to us a glow ing picture, to stir the heart of the moat phlegmatic Englishman. The letter of our special correspondent converts us into spectators of the moving scene presented on that July morning when, at a signal from the Admiral, the British expedition moved grandly out of Talien Bay. In the vivid description we watch with him for the dawn till the first streak of day ap pears, and the sun shines over the hills upon the curling smoke of fifty steamers. We hear the click of the chains as from every aide anchors go up to the cheery song of the sailors, until ship after ship has spread her broad canvas to the breeze. Like a flight of white sea-birds, ship after ship mimes out of the bay, a long interminable line of sails, extending from the harbour to the distant horizon. As we look at that stately procession, and see the flag of Old England thus nobly borne on the opposite side of the globe, is it possible to help feeling a glow of pride at the reflection of our nation's greatness ? Is there any meaning in the hinted fear lest some should turn away their eyes from a scene in which their country unfolds its night t There is no such danger. Nature, which is strong enough, if need be, to set aside duty and silence conscience, may safely be left to take care of herself. Whatever a sober judgment may have decided, whatever experience may yet dis close about the right or wrong of this Chinese business, our hearts will go with our countrymen and we shall infallibly find ourselves rejoicing in their success. The expedition, having left Talien Bay on the 26th of July, landed at Pehtatig, whence the latest letters are dated, on the Ist of august. The forts of the place were undefended, no mili tary preparations being made for our reception, unless we so call a kind of infernal machine such as a more civilised nation employed against us in the Rattle campaign. The friendly feeling of the people protected us against mischance from this cause, and was soon rewarded. The occupation of Pehtang was found to be a military neces sity ; and so at a moment's notice 30,000 people Weir, turned out without house or home. Women with babies in their anus, young girls, and old men were hurrying through the streets, driven from house to house, and finding no rest. Within twenty-four hours every house wee broken open. The men began to poison their wives, meters, and marriageable daughters as soon as we approached, and the corpses of the girls were found in the houses. The very man wbo warned us of the explosive mines left by the Tartars for our destruction was driven by the plunderers in our train to poison himself and family. His wife and children died, but he, leas susceptible to the drug, was recovered by our surgeons. Taken from the hospital to his home, "on beholding the " scene of desolation which awaited him " the poor fellow burst into tear; and " regretted that his life had been saved— " ruined, wifeless, and childless as he was." Ruch are the ordinary incidents of war, as it always has been, and such atrocities do statesmen knowingly entail on a people when they send &hos tile army into a country. The people at Pehtang received us with the utmost civility and concilia tion until we took possession of their houses and property, and abused their wives and daughters. Being simple and ignorant they were unable to understand what they bad done to offend us, or why we landed in hostile array on their coast. On hearing the affront we had come to avenge, they made the characteristic remark that it was a Taku affair with which Pehtang had nothing to do. That community of national life which we transfer from our own Western experience to theirs, and in virtue of which we claim to make one part of the empire answerable for what is done in another, is to them tigmenitary and unreal. Thus all that they suffer comes to them in the character of wanton aggression. This does not seem the best prepa:ation for the introduction of "GOD'II truth," whitfa Captain SIIZZAJRIO Ossoame and writers of his school tell us is one of the ends of this war. Tit.-re is no doubt that we can repeat this pro ems to airy extent we please in China. Such is our numerical strength, so extensive are our re laurel., so superior are our Enfield rifles and Arint.trong guns to gingals and wooden cannon bound with hoops, that we may carry desolation, murder, and rape, even into the Imperial palace of if we are so minded. It is little else that we eau carry there. Wo cheat ourselves with phrases, and talk of the blessings of civilisa tion, but it is utterly untrue that these repeated wars do anything at all for the civilization of that country. Our wars are simply wars of couve silence, the most wicked of all wars. They are unblushingly ju►tified by arguments such as are used to justify slavery anti other enormities, by which the general conscience of mankind is revolted. Their character s not altered, as far as we are concerned, because the Chinese meet oar rain:rior force with tr-achvry, as they did at the Nam. We are engaged lit a systematic attack the following 111111%. bring all enlightened and prepared people ire enabled to enter into possession of order and liberty. Weak and inefficient the present government may be, but there is nothing to take its place. We shall com plete the internal ruin of China—and what then Vbt Court. BRIISSRLS, Ocr. 16.

RETURN OF THE COURT TO ENGLAND. domed, the military bands were premed into service, that of the Royal Yews being marched to the water end of the pier, and that of the Volunteer Artillery placed at the town entrance, and by their admirable performance of several popular pietas of music, enemeded in partially occupying the public attention. Shortly after 2, however, something like dsdnite information arrived in the shape of a telegram by the South Eastern line, to the effect that at 10 minutes put 1 the Victoria and Albert was sighted off Margate. This would give at least three hours before she could reach the point oidiarielsristioa, an interval which meet of the official and somefficial persons pre sent thought it prudent to use for the purpose of refreshment ; and the police Celberus, who guarded the outer gate and who had hitherto been inexorable in his re fuel to permit readmission upon any pretence whatever, having been persuaded or threatened into a more liberal view of human necessities, the pier and grounds were speedily denuded of half their tenants, and the guests of the hotels and taverns in the neighbourhood in creseed in proportion. At three o'clock, the Bustler, Admiralty tug, which bad brought the workmen from Woolwich, and which bad been cruising between Oravesead and the Hope the greater part of the day, signalled that the royal yacht was just visible—near the Nore light—end shortly afterwards a telegram, bringing the welcome intelligence that at ten minutes past three she wee peening the Nero, was received by the authorities at the pier. This was soca followed by another message, staling that at twenty minutes past three the vessel—(the only one of the royal squadron in sight)—had peered Southend pier, and not long afterwards • long line et blauir smoke, curl ing leeward over the land beyond Mulhouse Point, that the long and anxiously expected ship was rapidly near ing her destination. At a quarter to four the two white funnels of the yacht were distinctly visible from the pier /wed as she rounded the point, and in • very few minutes all the vacant seats were re-occupied, the officials were in their places, the guard of honour was drawn up, the wort mounted, the members of the Town Council marshalled and instructed in their duties by the Town Clerk (who appetite to be a consummate master of courtly etiquette), the bends each et the head of its respective corps ready to sound forth the National Anthem —the gunners at Til bury and the Graereend forte, with lighted matches in hand. at their guns--Loral Sydney and his coadjutoni at the hied, iag-brow--and everything prepared to receive the august party with becoming respect. At half-past four the Vic toria and Albert, bearing the Admiralty ensign at the fore, the royal standard at the main, and the union jack at the raisin, neared the pier, and • tante of twenty-one guns from old Tilbury, answered by aa many from the bat teries on the Kentish side, informed those of the fact who were not privileged to be eye-witnesses. Considerable delay occurred in making the vessels fast to the dummy; and the royal standard and union jack had been run up some time, end the bands had repeated the petional anthem more than once, before the landing-brow could be connected with the gangway of the ship. When this was at length effected, and several of the attendants had landed, an incident, trifling in itself, but which might have been attended with the meat disastrous come queocee, happened. The stern rope by which the ship was moored to the dummy was somewhat slack, and while the lenders of luggage and servants was proceed ing the ship was moved from her position alongside some few feet by the action of the tide. The consequence was that just as the Queea and the Prince Consort were about to step upon the " brow," it shifted, leaving a chum be tween it and the ship, so that had any person been upon it at the moment, he or she would have been precipitated into the water. Happily that was not the case, and in the course of • few minutes the rope was made taut, the brow was connected with the steamer's deck, and the whole party war safely landed at 20 minuted past 5 o'clock. The little mishap here described seemed to afford amusement rather than to cause alarm amongst the royal party. The Panama Alice laughed heartily at it, and the Queen and Prince Coa led appeared to regard it as an accident which might be enumerated amongst the %umber, if not the most agreea ble, features of their journey. Her Majesty, the Prime, aad Princess—all of whom looked extremely well, the Quetta not a whit the worse for the cold she had been enduing bum during the latter part of the week, and the Prince beer* not the slightest trace of the bruises and scratches occa sioned by the accident at Cohsrg—were met oath* landing. brow by, Lord Spencer and General Eyre, who oondeeted them to the menage in waiting at the land entrance of the pier.

If her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and Princess Alice have had, as we are informed by the German and Belgian 'Dammam', wet weather during almost the whole of their coatinental journeying, and ethane, sad if, an we know, they had • thoroughly Eng lish rainy day for their departure, the genial bright and warm sunshine which marked their " welcome home ^ mutt have been the - more gratifying. Yesterday morning, in the metropolis and its neighbourhood, opened with a cloudless sky, but as the hours wore on the clouds began to gather, and many were led to apprehend that the landing of the royal party would be as little favoured by the atmos pheric influeoces as was the embarkation some three weeks since. Towards mid-day, however, these apprehensions were dispelled with the threatenin; clouds which crested them, and by the turning hour of noon a brilliant run' shine inaugurated an afternoon so like summer as anything we have witnessed throughout this dreary wintry year. Gravesend, which it will be remembered was specially honoured by her Majesty, on the of last month, for the third time as the most convenient shipping pert, when the impulses of natural love and the claims of family led her for a brief spa to bid adieu to that native land over which oho reigns as much by the universality of its affectionate leyalty as by the right of samession, was again selected as the place for debarking. The notice of her Majesty's intention, owing to the uncertainty as to the precise time when she would be sufilciently recovered from the cold caught a few days ago to leave Belgium, was necessarily short, and the municipal authorities of the ancient borough, which has of late so grown under the in guenees of the royal countenance as to throw its aid neigh bour Tilbury completely into the shade, despite its associa. floes with the glories of the Elizabethan reign, were taken almost unawares, when on Monday night the official intim'. tiou arrived that her Majesty and the royal party would land at the Terrace Pier on Wednesday, the 17th Weber, somewhere between I and 4 o'clock in the aft mesa. Tele grams were instantly emit on to North Wales, when Mr. Gardner, the mayor, who had dame the honours on the previous clocaseen, had gene en • little tour of his own, but, lost probably in the i•triaeies of the Welsh slate quarries and iron mines, in which it is said he is at the present moment somewhat ea tensively interested, they failed to reach him. Happily, there is no lack of civic dignitaries at Gravesend. There in as a matter of course, an en mayor, who, according to time honoured precedent, in the absence of the mayor de jars, eejoys the enviable privilege of acting u the deputy. This gentlemen (Mr. Gregory) at once saw the Deceesity of putting all the corporate power in motion. (hide were printed, stages were erected, the police were put through their drill---ass or two of them, if civility to thou who may ham duties to perform be any part of their manual, with but indieferrint sitcoms ; the various bodies of load volunteers were invited; despatches were sent to the lord lieutenant, the naval avid military authorities at Woolwich and Chatham ; and by the aid of the dockyard workmen of the former the pier was in the course of Tuesday and yestenlay morning restored to the same state of decorative grandeur, and convenience and oosnfort for the purposes re ilium', which characterised it when her Majeety and the Prance Coasort last used it, and which was fully described at the time. The inhabitants of the town generally and the railway Authorities weft equally energetic' ; and from the windows and balconies. and acmes the streets, along the entire route of the royal carriages from the pier to the ',airway, emblazoned draperies floated as before, not perhaps so profusely, but, thank" to the sunshine, with notch greater effect ; *ldle at the station every arrangement for the convenience and, as far as possible, for the privacy of the royal traveller was provided. One o'clock having bees named as the gullible hour cry the arrival of the royal yacht, at that hour ell the prepara tions were completed, and all who were officially or sta In vited geode of the corporation entitled to be present were in attendance. The deputy mayor, the town clerk tCaptain Shatleed), the sixteen aldermea and commou councillors, warn all present in their gowns L ed with th e i r wands of office, ably assisted, in so far as the diguity of the Ludy wee cowered, by • functionary in • heavy guld-braided drab livery, wearing a huge curly wig, which at some remote period has evidently been well-powdered suel greased, and untying • gilt silver mace, said to be the largest and most valuable, sod one of the most antique of its kind in England, sad in corporate eyes adding no doubt in pro portion to the importance of its fortunate poasersors, while exciting the envy of its compeers. A hundred men of the Foe al Marines front Chatham, under the com mand of Captain Stewart, were standiug at rue in the Terrace Gardens, waiting until their serviees me the guard of honour should be required. A troop, or rather • detach. meet, of the 16th Lancers, commanded by Lieut. F. &redly, were in like manner waiting to escort the august party from the 'femme to the etatioo. Lord Sydney, in full uniform aa LonbLieutenant of the county, and with his go ld key of ',Mee as Chanilwrlaio of the Household, accompanied by General Eyre, military commander of the disttict, Lord A.

Jame* ltyrig, the chairman, and Mr. Serjeant Cross and Mr. S. Teulon, directors, with Mr. Eborall, the traffic manager, and Mr. Knight, the superintendent id the South Fasters Railway Co:malty, were shoo there to conduct the Royal train to London. But • full hour before this all the seats were occupied with spectators —the liajotity of them ladies, dressed, of course, in all the variety of modern fashion—who, to the number of scene 1,4 W, were doomed to wait upwards of five hours ere their loyal curiosity could he gratified.

The note which has been remitted by France to the Federal Council states that, independent of the insult offered to the French flag at Sion, a French subject was maltreated on that occasion. The French cabinet claims, therefore, that a severe inquiry should be instituted on that point, and expresses a hope that the guilty parties will be punished, and full satisfaction afforded to the injured party. The Federal Council has commu nicated the French note to the government of Valais, with a request that the inquiry which it had already instituted concerning the affair of the flag should• be completed by an examination of the fn•sh Complaint on the part of France.

Some of the often had the waiter taken to the barracks, and there indicted upon him 25 blows of a stick. Complaint was made to General de Courton, there commanding, and he thought proper to report the matter to LamoricKre. The Anuemioae Pima, a new paper published at Mace rate, gives the following as the reply of the Papal general in-chief :—" General Lantorieitre to Geneva de Courten,— I invite you to occupy yourself with the political state of your province, and to let your officers make themselves respectd when the police is too cowardly to do its duty. If the conspirators of Macerate were in 'moon, as they ought to be, all that would not happen. The affair of the waiter proves to what point the police is cowardly, if ft does not even betray the government. The only fault is the regular infliction of blows of a stick in a barrack. It would have been better to kopek the nun on the head on the spot. Do not trouble me any . more with such matters ; or else ask me to put Macerate in a state of siege. We will arrest 25 persons and shoot 10 of them, and all will be over.

Of this amount Great Britain pays uuo•third, Hamburg one-third, Prussia and the other Widen interested, the remeindcr. When this proposal was submitted to Hanover and the sum named, the Hanoverian government eoueented to accept it if the republic of Hamburg would do so—a promise made, it is believed, in the expectation that Ham burg would refuse. This expectation, however, has boeu sadly disappointed. Hamburg readily lamented to a proposition in which she sees her account very clearly, and the Hanoverian government cannot recede from its engagement. Our share of lis3,oooL u ill be voted by the British parliament with hardly a question, and the sootier the better.

(nom ova OWN 0021116POND1NL) PARIS, WEDICINDAT EVIIIIING. It seems to be certain that the news of the Munich Gazette, brought by telegraph from Berlin to-day, that the ambassadors of Prussia and Russia at Turin have formally protested against the entry of the Piedmonteae into the kingdom of Naples is not true. Hitherto these diplomatists have con fined their opposition to verbal remonstrances. It is, however, by no means considered certain that they do not intend to protest, but I should think it probable that they will at least wait for the re sult of the Warsaw meeting. The Patio says that as soon as the annexation of the Two Sicilies to Piedmont is proclaimed Gari baldi will resign all political power, but that he will assume the title and functions of com mander-in-chief of the laud and sea forces of Southern Italy, will thenceforth occupy himself exclusively in preparations for carrying on war next spring, and that he intends to make an appeal to all Europe to send him volunteers. This news, if true, is highly important. The report of the taking of Shank Hai is posi tively denied. The Pays and Patric say that although the town is threatened by the Chinese the French and English troops iu possession are amply sufficient to defend it, and that no appre hension is entertained. They also deny the existence of an epidemic in the expeditionary force. The mails from Naples, which have been de layed far several days by bad weather, have now arrived. At the risk of repeating news that you will get from your own correspondents in that city, I subjoin some interesting extracts from letters rang ing from October 9 to 13 : On the 12th, and after Pallavicini had tendered his resignation, Garibaldi came to Naples. [This fact has not been mentioned by telegraph.] He was received, it is said by a writer of strong Cavourian tendencies, only by a score of nobodies, who cried, " The Constituent for ever," it being Garibaldi's wish to summon a Neapolitan parlia , meat previous to the annexation. At the same time the Mazzinists placarded a statement that M. Pallavicini's prohibition of political clubs was specially directed against the national associa tion of unity, but that Garibaldi had authorised their meeting, by a paper under his own Laud, It was in answer to this manifestation that vast numbers of citizens—some say as many as 100,000 —promenaded the streets, bearing the word "ai " in their hats. Many cried "Death to bfazzini !" Garibaldi more than once harangued the populace, telling them that Mazzini was his friend, and Pal lavicini was his friend ; that they should have the plebiscite, but they should also have a parliameut ; and that Victor Emmanuel would come very soon. The affair of the French ship, the Protia, was settled by the French Admiral, with the coacur rence of Garibaldi. The 600 Neapolitan troops brought by it from Sicily had the option to say which cause they would serve-400 elected for Gari baldi, and 200 went to Gaeta. The Bourse was decidedly weak. The Reute fell 15e. for cash and sc. for account, closing at 69fr. and 69fr. 10c. Mobilier fell lfr. 26c. In rail ways scarcely any alteration. Count de Peraigny arrived in Paris this morning from London, and went at once to St. Cloud to see the Emperor. M. de Kiereleff does not leava for Warsaw till to-morrow. A correspondent of the Inci‘pcnclanes Beige reports that being asked by the Emperor Napoleon to ascertain from the Czar whether he meant peace or war, M. de Kisaeieff re plied that he was not certain whether he should come back to Paris ! It is very rightly added that this news requires confirmation. The Pope's nun cio embarks to-morrow at Marseilles for Civita Vecchia. PRUSSIA AND ITALY. The National Gazette publishes the following article on the policy which Prussia ought to follow respecting the affairs of Italy : Ira these days national passions are not roused by idle quarrels about t 4 bed -race of power in Europe. General interest attrichea%ly to those national struggles in which great questions of principle are engaged. The immense success achieved by the foreign policy of Napoleon lIL proceeds from the fact that his exalted intelligence, un clouded by the hazes of legitimacy, has comprehended this simple truth. When war broke out last year is Italy, it bore at the outset the character of a war between sove reigns—of a game played between two emperors, of which Italy was the stake. But in the comae of events Napoleon strove to deprive it of Was character ; without forgetting the interests of France, he threw off the prejudices of the old French diplomacy, according to which a united Italy must be a very dangerous rival to France. He takes acre not to wound the Italian national sentiment more than he ban done by the incorporation of Nice ; he leaves the Italian, alone, and continues to protect them against all foreign intervention whilst they are occupied in constructing their united state of more than twenty million' of souls. He knows well that be cannot hold such a State in leading strings, but he also knows that he will find in it a sure ally against all coalitions, so long as he does nut alienate the Italian national naiad, and liberal opinion in Europe. Unfortunately the old diplomacy cannot appreciu.te the.. ' mond elements, and even to this hour it has for its guide no other compass thau the immutable code of the treaties of 1815, to which„ mutilated as they are, it still ascribes the canonical authority of Holy Writ. Of what use is it to repeat to us that united Italy might ally PAW to France, for attacking Germany on the Rhine simultaneously with Venetia? We admit the eventuality, and in our opinion Prussia is not wrong in persisting to consider her interests bound up with those of Austria. But the time is past when alliance with Austria might still present a certain guarantee agaiust this eventuality. It was Austria herself that broke this alliance at the period when it still possessed some value ; Austria now is no longer an ally to be depended upon, less even than Russia, who would only arrive too late with inadequate forces on the scene of contest. The efforts to raise up again the Holy Alliance against Italian unity, or hereafter against France, are for ever ren dered impotent. These old arms are woru out, and have already proved unserviceable ; we areobliged in fact to drop them. Let us add to the crippled powers, to whom we are to be rallied by Metteruich's flag of legitimacy, the Germanic Diet ; this is a shackle that we moat break before we can take a single step. The only groat Pl,Wer whose alliance might be of real importance to us is England. But Lori John Russell's note in favour of the integrity of the Austrian dominion in Venetia cannot make us forget that the English ministers will take good care not to run full tilt against public opinion. The British nation will not suffer itself to be dragged into a war is which its inte reins aro not directly at issue. In this state of things nothing appears to ns more impru dent than a demonstration against the Italian cause—a demonstration that would irritate against Prussia the national sentiment in ItAly. and liberal opirdoe in all Europe, without the least practical advantage. Barnum SYRIAN' RELIEF FOND.-011 Tuesday meeting was held in Manchester, the Mayor in the chair, in aid of the British Syrian Relief Fond. The following reso lution was carried unanimously :—"That this meeting, in consequence of the late fmrful massacres in Syria, hoe lestmal with deep regret that there are at the preleut time some 80,0() people scattered amongst the mountains and on the coast of Syria homeless, unked. and starriog ; and it is the opinion of this meeting that the urgency of the case is without parallel, end that it demands the sympathy and co.op. ration of all classes of the community."

CHATHAM, Ocr. 17. The 35th company of Royal Engineer., under the command of Captain Carue. , , arrived at Brompton Barracks last evening, from Alderdiott Camp, and joined headquarters, having been relieved the camp by the 33rd company, which left this g►rriaon ye.terday. FORT:-.MOUTH, (kr. 17. His Excellency the Persian Ambassador, Mirza Jaffa: Khan, accompanied by his numerous suite, left the George Hotel , Portamouth, about noon to-day, for London. It MY intended that his Excellency should visit the dock yard to inspect the objects of interest in that establishment, but the new armngementa rendered that impossible. The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw, steamed out of harbour this morning, in charge of Captain G. T. Gordon, of the steam reserve, to make a trial of her machinery, pre. viously to being docked for the examination and cleansing of her copper. It is rumoured that she will probably be commissioned to receive the flag of Vice-Admiral W. Fan. shawls Martin, Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean fleet, and take the place of the Marlborough. The letter vessel, however, has not been in commission three years until February next. The Diadem, 32, screw frigate, Captain James Cockburn, was placed in No. 8 dock this afternoon for repairs. The Foxhound, 4, screw vessel, Commander Altred chell, having completed her repairs, was undockal this afternoon. . _ 'The Dee, 4 steam vessel, Master Commander T. C.

Tua Elora Rrnaa.—On Saturday, the 13th, the let, 3rd, and 4th companies, of the 6th Essex or Bescontree Res, marched out from head-quarters, by way of the Com mercial-road, to London. On the way they were joined by the 2nd (London) company of the said cups, who formed in with them, and the wh commanded by Major O. R. Birt, promoled to Royal Mint,street, where the anus were deposited in the armoury of the Loudon company, and the men dismissed. Although the afternoon was most nafa. vow-able, and the roads in a very had state there was an excellent muster, and the men marched with remarkable steadiness and precision. The inhabitants of the districts through which they marched assembled in large numbers to greet them as they passed along. The regiment, as well as being on the occasion aceoinpanied by their own drum and fife bands, had secured the services of that of the 15th Essex (Silvertown), so that all along the route a constant games. sion of favourite airs were played. . - PRESENTATION or DRUMS TO THE HALLAMISHIEE RIFLES BY LADY FITZWILLLAIL—The Hallamshire Vo lan- tee --- r Rifle Corp bad on Monday the honour of receiving six cast steel aide drums, the gift of Charles Atkinson, Esq., the ex-mavor of Sheffield, at the hands of Lady Fits.

The ex-Mayor announced his intention of presenting them nearly a year ago, on the occasion of prmidingi at the inaugural dinner of the corps ; and Lady Fitzwilliam having been requested to nuke the presentation, Lord Fitzwilliam generously invited the cor,w to visit Wentworth for the purpose of receiving them. THE EXECUTION OP GENERAL WALKER. In an American letter elated Traxillo, Sept. 18, we read—" General William Walker was .hot on the 12th instant, at eight o'clock a.m. lie showed throughout the Mtest coolness, not even changing colour when walking the prison to the plaza, where he was shot. Two aoldiere, with drawn swords, advanced in front of him, and three, with fixed bayonets, followed him. In his right hand he tarried a hat, and in his left a crucifix. Before taking his seat on the fatal re imie..te he requested the priest in attendance, inasmuch as be coedit not speak loaf enough to bo heard , to say to the people that he asked the pardon of all whom ha bad injured in his present expedition, ire., which is variously reported by earions persons. He then sat down. A tile el tea soldiers advanced and fired on the instant. He died at once. The soldiers gave three cheers, and all was over. His remains have been decently lmried, with the usual rites of the church. I think there was a deep feeling of sympathy for his fate on the pert of the people generally, nor sloes there appear to be any spirit of vindictivt nese oa the part of the government and its officers. Itudler is con demned to four years' imprieuninent, but I think he will be liberated be' ore long. Matters are getting more quiet here, but still American interests require looking after, and our countrymen feel very an x ious to buns if we are to expect au American vessel in these waters. The English war steamer is still here, and lo lung as she remains there will be no risk to foreigners. They will not, however, sleep so well when she leaves, not that the government or people gene rally are disposed to violence, but bessiuse there are always a certain number of ladrones to profit by moments of excite meat and a popular prejudice. Such aprejudice does exist, and is mainly the creation of the RUM who never succeeded, and who now lies cold and stark in the Campo Santo at Truxillo. This goes by the steamer Ihoenla, belonging to the lino established by Mews. Squier and Spofford, of New York, which now runs i egularly between this port and that of Bannano, in Cuba, making two trip monthly. We hear that the same parties are about putting on anothersteamer, to be called the Olancho, to run hetweeu Calm, Omen, and Belize. I fancy they will do inure for the interests of the United States in these countries t ban all the filibusters, part, present, and temple." Another correspondent, evidently a Spaniard, writes : "In his six days of imprisonment Walker had ample time for thought, and conscience smote him on contemplating his prison, and also on seeing the people that he 11.‘d de feated and driveu from their homes on the 6th of August treating him with the greatest benevolence and kindness. Owned to the place of death and being ready to be exe cuted, ho begged leave to addreas the people in these few words :—' I declare myself to be a member of the Roman catholic church. 1 declare tint I have injured the people of Honduran to a great extent, being led to do so by the people of the island of Beaten, who after calling me deceived me and left me to my fate. I ask pardon for those poor men that accompanied me, for they ore Dot as guilty as I am. If my life can be of any benefit to society I lay it down with the greatest medium*, paidoeiug m y j u d ge ., that I may be enabled to obtain my pardon in the next world.' Thme were Lis het words, and with these the scene closed ; it being worthy of notice that although the port of Truxillo was attacked ruthlessly by hint, yet the people of the town pitied bin), and in the whom crowd there was not one glad countenance." Hommoearne—A German journal given some details respecting homeopathic medicine :—The number of hounermathic physicians is 3,254, of whom 1,612 are is America. The professorships of the science are sin Ger manv—namely, 2 at Prague, 2 at Munich, I at Vienna ; in the latter city, also, is lof veterinary homoeopathy. The number of iminceopaths in Oenuany is 471, Mal 35 for eeittotLi ; 21 of the former are attached to hospitals, Of hospitals in Germany there are only 10, and 9 of them are in Austria, 3ut the 9 being, at Vierms, one being of 160 beds, another of 80, and another of 60. The journals which treat of homeopathy in Germany are 8, 4 of them doing so scientifically, the rest for the ordinary public. The largest society of hommraths it in that country ; it coosiate of 230 members, and holds annual lettings. In France there are 403 hominomiths, in England 244 (with 2 hospitals in Lon. don), in Spain 94 (with an hospital :it Madrid), in Belgium 26, in Holland 7, in Switzerland 34, in Italy 14, io the Scandinavian countries 12, in the Danubian Principalities 4, in Russia 67 (with an hospital at Moscow), in Portugal 47, in Asia 4, and in Africa t;.
