ENGLAND AND SARDINIA. In the Itrusecls papers, Le .Void and L'ldips.n -dhow Attlge, we find a French velaiisi from the Gerona tramalation of Lord John Runell's despatch to Sir Jimatue winch low appin:ed in the firiAser Zeitaing. The following re-tmuslatiun Into English aua ouly therefore give a impend o..tioni :ow of Ow :11.t: e terns of expression ilitivent from thine of tin utigittal teat. Foreigia-office, Ati,lust 31.

MOWS such a complete sad precise declaration at his in. t. utious se her Mpsty's government might have desired as..l espected, Devertheleee they did not deem it necessary to otiose tine negotiations. lice Majesty's government considered that note as one elfeettuillysetting ;Ode any idea of making au at.ack upoo the ,lon.itoons of the Emperor of Austria or ursn those of the Kitig of Naplcs, lost at the stone time as one hietling the King of tiardmia to forego the C0M46011 of any portiou what ever of Italian terntory, it being of course understood t►at, in this public engagement, the island of :.Minis is inelmiod. 1 cell it a "public engagement," because Count Cal our, in his note, refers to the speech he made, in the name of the King's government, at the sitting of tine Cham ber of Deputies on the 'pith of May. Although, however, Austria, France, sod England have a;etaited from any intervention in Sicily and Naples., appre 'sessions are felt both at Paris and Vienna lest the annnsa tiem of the Mona" and Neapolitan territories to the king dom 4 Ambits should lie followed by an attach male by Italian fames upon the Venetia possessions of the Em peror of Austria. It is clear that such an attack, by an allay. could not take place without the King of hanitnitia consent. It ia also clear that, in a leol point of view, the King of Sardinia would have 110 excuse for violating the treaty of Zurich, recently conellektl mid signed by him. The King of Sardinia was free out to accept the Prelimi naries 4 Villain's and the Treaty of Zurich ; but after baring ransuneed the continuanc e of the war, and having given his royal word to live in peace and friendship with Austria, he is now no longer free to discard those obligation s and attempt to make a wanton attack upon a neighbouring sovereign. It is clear. morcover, that in the present instance, motives of self.intereet are in anortbinoe with the dictates of duty. An attack upon the Austrian army, covered uit i. by hirniidable fortrawes, is not an enterprise the success of which could commonality be expecnnt. But if such an attack failed, it weight afford Auncin an opportunity, per. hap. desired, for ►aetonnj the Lortinarna to the Pope and Tuscany to the Grand There are pounds for believing that neither of these acts would he considered by France incompauble with the treaty of Zurich. At any este, they would le certain to involve the ,fretttest dangers to the independence of Italy and her future peace. The King of Sardinia would indeed have gained Lombardy, Parma, and 3loikna, but while lellud lavoy, Nice, and Tuscany, he would no longer be in a con dition to resist Austria, who would 1w fighting fora good cause, in defeuce of the integrity of her dominions, and to recover bar military honour. The only chance that would he left for Sardinia in such a conflict would be to draw France again into the battlefield, and to kindle an European war. Count (scour will not abandon himself to any such dangerous illusions. The Great Powers are Lent upon maintaining peace, and Great Britain has in the Adriatic :tea interests which she watches over with the greatest anxiety. The ministers of the King of tiardinia may save Europe from such • danger, by strictly observing the policy set forth in Count Cavour's despatch, dated 30th May. Her Majesty's ;:overnment ask for nothing more than the exact performance of the promises contained in that note. The British government is dispsoed to take into account the sen timents and ilemonstmtions alluded to by Count Caveur, l,eing amongst throw mfrnctionsof international law which the local authorities are often powerless to regtrain, although in the eyes of different European courts the indulgence of I treat Britain in this respect may seem already to have been carried too far. At any rate, whatever may be the iase with maritime enterprises, which might take place often at night, and might le favoured by the Mil of vessels be longing to the villages limn; the coast, it is clear enough that mu army can, without the King's express order, attack tha Austrian frontier. Thew olaerrations appear to us deserviog of the serious attention of the itentinian government.

StLal tray the vor- FICI eet llillailisetury state of the case. But the cause of the delay was easily explained. The basis upon which the board made their arrangeinvuts originally, and upon which all the eugagenteute had been entered auto, was the under takuag by the Turkish government to subscribe for 15,000 shame in the matt' of the company. But the delay in the payment of the calls an a large portion of thuasharer,which were held by parties scattered over tee country in rarities playas, had atturded a plea to some of the shareholders in this country likewise to defer payment of their calls, the consequence of which was that toe financial condition of the company was crippad, unit they were unable to proceed with that nspelity which was desirable. Rut corn paring the resulte in the case ul the Ottoman Medway with those of other railways, they were Out after all so unati.factory. The ran India Railway Company was six years engaged in negotiations and diaussioua before they commenced operations. The Ottoman Railway concession was grouted only in 181%, it was only in ItSiii that the directors were invited to take up the eukeprise, end it was not until 1`45.4 that business ape nations deserving of the name were attempted. As to the appasheatted confiscation of the line at the expiration of the four years within which it was to have been made, it was out ureamery now to discuss whether it could be legally I . arrie.l into effect or not, fee a telegram had been received setting that questiou at g eat. ?or his own part he had never entertained any doubt on the subject, because he knew that, while the Turkish ministry was liable like other persons to errors of judgineut, they were incapable of dim. moody. The substance of the telegram was that the Turkish government had complied with the request made to them ou the part of the company, by giving permission to issue the required debentures, and allowing an extension of three yeses tor the completion of the works. With :e -gged to the debentures, the board considered that, after the sanction which bad been given by the shareholders at the lest nieettog,they wouldohavebeen justifioliu bathing them without referee.* to the Turkish government ; still they thought it advisable to have he sancta% sod bed therefore delayed acting upon the resolution. That sanction having been re ceived, the debenture kinds would be tailed. The engineer's report announced the errand of locomotives and engines at the work.; that great pregreem bad been made with 27miler of the line, awl that that portion would be ready for open ing in Noseinber. It further announced that the ilanoge done by the tootle was is course of reparation, that the branch line to Tireb was set out, but that the tunnels were postponed until the hest route had been ascertained. He thought that the contractor was entitled to every credit fur the great exertions he had niade, especially when all the circumistauces of the case were taken into account, (Cheers.) Refernug to a circular which had been issued by Mr. Cumuei.ioaer face, he described it as altogether false in its premises and wrung in its cusclusions, and added that the honied conimiesioner, who was a candidate for a meat in the direction, proved hinuielf by that circular unqualified for the °thee. Tue statements put forward were calculated to introduce new elements of discord into the company, and catatonia.' a ge,graplawal juwbie as to the two means of passing the wouutniu chain by confounding the station of Ephesus with the village of that name, which was intole rable iu one who sought the panties of a director. The assertion iu the pamphlet, that the tutoiel had been &ban doted as a hopeless absurdity, was not tree, and to may, as Mr. Peno did, that the oompeny could divert funds raised for one specific purpose to auuther, showed the writer to be ignorant of the law. Again, the statement that the Tires branch had been lost sight of by the directors we. a gra tuitous assertiou, unfounded in fact. The arrangement with the cootructors as to shares was such as would enable them to carry on their operations without loam to the company, and the alteration in the rate of interest would facilitate the opening of the hoe at as early a period as possible. Refer euue was also made to his (the chairman's) return from Turaer. It was sufficient to may that he went out at great inconvenience, but feeling that he should do good service if he could induce the Turkish government to make certain reasonable concessions for the benefit of the company. Had he remained longer it would have entailed expense, sod having obtained the object he west out for lie returned. He would inly further say, that whatever he once undertook be never abandoned, and that having entered upon this undertaking, he would not leave it until he vow it brought to a successful issue. He begged, in conclusive, to move the adoption of the report. Mr. DfliT secouiled the motion, winch, after considerable discussion, was adopted. WATERFORD AND KILKENNY AND KILKENNY JUrnJTIoN RAILWAY Yesterday a special meeting of this company was held, by adjournment., at the London Tavern, to consider the tenter of a proposed lease of the line to the tVaterford and Limerick Company ; Mr. Jinx. occupied the chair. The daserrtar of the compssy having read the terms of the hum, the main features of which were that the Water ford and Limerick Company undertook, fur tire years front 15th August last, to work the line fur 43 per cent. of the gross receipts, rents excepted, and not to charge more then 45 per cent. for working the junction line, to keep the per manent way in good order and the stations in incur, to take the rolling stock at a valustioc, to be made good, leas wear and tear, at the termination of t►e *outlast The working of the line is to be under the direction of a joint committee, the number of trains either way being reduced to three, if approved of by the Kilkenny members of the committee, and the legitimate traffic to be maintained inviolate. Alderman DILAIIIYTT nursed that the lease be ap proved of. H. NEwszaar seconded the motion. The lease would be only for five years, and there would be a aiming of at least six per cent. in the working expenses. the Eyluh shareholders, from the extent of their holding, to control the Irish directors, and get rid of them, if dis mtistied with their conduct. The present position of the company was as bail as it could be, and the Waist; of the lice was simply an experiment to better it. The motion was adopted. NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting was held in Edinburgh on Wednesday, AL HODGSON in the chair. The report, an abstract of which appeared in on:columns, was held u read. The CHAIRMAN saki the directors were actively employed in superintending the great works in progreis on the Border Union and Border Counties Railways, in order to insure the greatest amount of economy, despatch, and efficiency in those undertaking". He was glad to say that, notwithstand ing the unprecedented weather which they had Lad to contend ogaiust, the works were in an advanced state, and the coutractors were vigorously prosecuting the fulfilment of their engagements ; so that he trusted by another year he would be able to congratulate the share , holders on having added more than otos-belt additi owl mileage to that now funning the North M- I tish Railway, and that that additional utilesgs hid been formed at a cost so cheap that it would reduce the cost upon the whole mileage by some 9,000 f. or 10,0001. per mile. (Applause.) That would, he considered, be a great boon to all the shareholder', for such a reduction in the oast of the mileage would enable the company to realise, sod declare higher divideud upon their capital stock. (Cheers.) The directors had determined to recommend the reintroduction of the measure to enable the company to promote a Lae from thtlashiels by Innerleithen to Peebles, which had Leen so nearly successful last session ; and they proposed to introduce it with alterations iu those particular provi sions which they supposed were the cause of its narrow rejection. The directors were assured that it was for the interest of the public, not less than for the lutenist of the North British shareholders, that this line should be in tounexion with the North British, and not with the tlileilionan, ►ecause the trains could be run more conveniently for the public on the maia him of the former than of the latter company, and because they believed that the main stream of traffic lay between the south and Edinburgh, and not between the south and Ohs gow. (Hear, Lear.) What he asked the present meeting to do was to adopt the report of the directors, and thereby to esaelioe the subscription which they propueed to give to the Gabwisisla, lunerleithea, and Peebles Railway. After some discussion the report was adopted. SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting was held at Perth on Wednesday, the Hoe. J. C. DIMDAR fit the chair. The report, an ebetract of which has appeared is oar columns, was held as read. The 61AIRMAN gild the directors could not coops- White themselves much on the receipts of the half-yew_ owing to the remarkably ungenial som e , h u t s till there had I been nothing to discourage them ; and, ow i ng to t h e f a i r ' and equitsble arrangement with the Poet.ollice for the car rings of the mails, the funds showed a surplus over the usual divideod. The shareholders would observe that there was a considerable sum in the name of interest accruing from other companies, and some might, perimpi, expect that the directors would make therefrom au addition to the dividend, or • bonus. But, looking at all the Orman starer, the directors had not thought it advisable to make either a bores or an addition to the dividend, but rather reeontmended that the sum should remain is the shape at a surplus, available for any contingency that might arise ; age ' in that shape it would give the public a security for the soundnasa of the undertaking of the Scottish Central. As to the proposed Amalgamation Bill of this and the Caledo nia° and Edinburgh and Glasgow Companies, he really had uo more to say than what was stated in the report—namely, that the directors regret that the House of Commons re jected the bill ; but the direckin held themselves hound to proceed with the bill, should the other °cagoules resolve to do so, though be believed none of them wars maims to de se in the ensuing 168,100 of parliament. He hoped that, after cane otheideration, the public would some to the eon &Won that ends a bill would be for the public inkrawe ea well se fee the interest of the companies. He concluded by moving that the report be adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate of 5. per cent. per annum on the onliniry stock of the company.

Joseph Issas, a welcsl;;;;Fiew, 24 year. of age, who was described as a general dealer, residing at 132, Middle sex-street, Whitechapel, was charged with stealing in June last, from 114, Russell-street, Melbourne, New South Wales, the sum of 1,035/., eight sovereigns, a gold watch and chain, and other property belonging to Mr. Asher Barnett, of 13, Middlose:street, Al,'gate, merchant. Mr. Robert son Griffiths, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Sydney, ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. James Lewis, of Ely place, attended on behalf of the prisoner. From the opening statement of Mr. Griffiths it appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Asher Barnett, had for earns time curried on • prosperous busbies as a merchant at Mel bourne, and on his return with kis family from that place at the end of last year he left his son in charge of Lie bust. nese, and the son subsequently went on as prosperously as his father. It was the custom of the young man (the son) to keep his cash and valuables locked up la an iron safe, and when he locked it up to place the key up the chimney as • place of security. The only person aware of the key being placed there was the prisoner, who had been an intimate friend of the family, and who was also the confidential friend and companion of young Barnett. Some clays ago, on the arrival of the last Australian mail, Mr. Barnett received a letter from his son, stating that the prisoner had helped himself to the cash in the safe, sod had started IT the Dover Castle for England. On receipt of this letter Mr. Barnett lost no time In com municating with the police, and placing the letter in the hands of Sergeant Jackson sent that of to Plymouth, with instructions to take the prisoner into custody in case the Dover Castle put in there. The vessel, however, did not touch at Plymouth, but did at Portsmouth, where the prisoner landed, and at once proceeded to town by the night mail. Mr. Barnett, still on the alert, was at the Waterloo Station on the arrival of the mail train, and on wing the prisoner gave him into custody, when the property above described, and which he said was his own, was found upon him. Mr. Lewis contended at some length, and with much ingenuity, that the magistrate had no jurisdiction in this matter and cited Cal/ell in support of his argument. Mr. Gratin' replied, and hoped his worship would feel the necessity in a case like the present of detaining the prisoner so as to give him an opportunity of bringing for ward the neceseary evidence, tbet not yet beiog a ff orded, as the prisoner had not been apprehended till 4 o'clock that mom Mr. ardley, without giving any decision on the point of jurisdiction u raised by Mr. Lewis, decided on hearing the evidence. . . Police.constable Jam Clark , 128 L, was . ..then sworn, and said he was on duty at the Waterloo -station on that morning, and on the arrival of the mail train the prisoner was given into his custody by Mr. Barnett, on the charge of stealing from his sou in Melbourne a large sum of money. He took the prisoner to the waiting-room, and there tennd on him the property producwl, namely, two drafts drawn in his favour, at Melbourne, for 7001. each, two Australian, and eight F.nglish sovereigns, a gold watch and chain, a gold ring and pin, and it miniature likeness of himself (the prisoner) elaborately set in gold. This property, he said, WIN his own. At the station-house the prisoner rid that neither Mr. Asher Barnett nor his son had anything to do with the property in Melbourne, that it belonged to him (the prisoner). Mr. Asher Barnett was next sworn, and said the let ter produced was in the handwriting of the prisoner, and wee received by his ;laughter tram the prisoner, who had been pitying his addresses to her while she resided with hint at Melbourne. _ . _ Mr. Griffiths here remarked that the contents of this let ter would show that just before the robbery the prisoner was without means, and read en extract saying that as soon as he could procure the means he should return to London, and " mate his dear Rosa happy." Mr. Lewis—Well, to has obtained the means, and re turned to Loodoo to make the young lady happy, and hoe brought this beautiful likeness of himself, so elegantly net in gold , to present to his dear Rosa, and I should not be at an surprised if this case were to end in a breach of pro uder, of marriage. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Barnett further stated that Sergeant Jarboe had Rene to Plymouth by his desire, to apprehend the pri soner • in ease the Dover Castle put in there, and he gave him the letter he had received from his eon. The witness had re ceived the letter he then produced from Sergeant Jarksee, and bud Jemmied that officer a telegraphic niesssee to inform him that the prisoner was in enstody, and intros. ting him to return to town without delay. Mr. Oriffitus here remarked that the letter in question would furnish his worship with as inaizdit to the robbery, but as it was ia tho hands of Sergeant Jackson, and as that officer had not yet returned to London be unfortunately could not produce it. On a future day, however, he should be prepared with it, and also other testimony, to establish the charge. Mr. Lewis again damaged the magistrate, con tending that he had no jurisdiction in the case, and hoping therefore that be would discharge his client. Mr. Yardley was of °plebs that the case was one in which the parties complaining should have some time allowed them to make out a cane if they could, and remanded the prisoner to a future day, but at the same time consentin,; to take his own recognisance' in 5001. to appear on the day appointed. THAMM. '3 7— Joieph Roe ,who desen l;lll li aelfas a dock porter, appeared to answer a commons of aoault upon Mr. William Cook, the verger of St. George's-in-the.Eut, and also for creating &disturbance and brawling in the church under the recent act - - • The defendant asked for a remand, as his witnesses were in the country. He should la able to prove that he was a victim of a conspiracy. Mr. Sella said he could not postpone the case until be had heard the evidence, the application could be then re newed._ Kr. Wm. Cook, sexton of St. George's-in.the-Fast, who deposed that service took place at St. George's Church on Sunday last; the defendant bad been an attendant of the church for months Fait, and was • mutant disturber of the worship. On the Sunday evening he observed tie defendant, at the time of the reading of the Oonfession, going to his pew, in which his (witness's) wife was sitting ; he went to the defendant, and told him he could not go is, as the seat belonged to him. The defendant said he bad • right to go in, and pushed witness aside. Witness com plained to Mr. Thompson, the churchwarden, who requested him to withdraw. He refused to do so, end after the beadle had informed him be would he removed, the defendant marched down the aisle, and with his wooden shoes kicked up the dust, and elbowisl every person be came iu contact with in the aisle, and by his load talking disturbed the service The defendant cross-examined the witness, but nothing resulted in his favour. Mr. Coxall, the brad porter of the Stepney Union, con. firmed the evidence of the last witness, and stated that in uence of the defendant's conduct • great disturbance took ,by pemon , Fring and making noises, by which theservice was interru , and ultimately the defendant was removed by Mr. common.

On Sunday last he was Wei med the defendant bad gore into Mr. Cook's pew. He went to him, cud re (pleated him to retire. He refused to do so, and therefore be (Mr. Thompson) felt justified in removing him, when by his loud talking the service was disturbed. In answer to Mr. Seller, the witness said it was the habit of the defendant, and he was sorry to may of others, as soon as the clergyman bad given out the tett to get up, open the pew doors, and walk out. The defendant, wearing wooden shoes. aimed • great noise. The defendant said, as a dock labourer, be wore wooden shoes, but he bad not got them on now. The Bev.

He was compelled to stop the service iu consequence of the disturbance. Cross-examined by the defendant—He lad omitted the prayer et absolution, and was reading the confession ; and, to his knowledge, he made no error in doing so ; the noise wen so great that the people rose up and looked over their pews.

TALI OW. (From the Circular of Yams. ealVarwell, Ikuoks, and Co., dated Friday Evening.) The tallow market has maiutaiinxi • tires position with a tendency to advance during the week, and we have to note an improvement of fully 6.1 per cwt. for Y.C. is all por ters hence to the mid of March, when compared with lutes current last Friday; which improvement, we should ob serve, has remiltad chiefly from burnm for forward deli very, more particularly for January to March,. It is some what generally expected that 'a rather largo quantity of tallow will shortly be tendered in fulfilment of contracts for October to December (and it is only reasonable to sup pose that such will to the case) ; hence the question has wiser " what will be the effect upon prices " Some per sona are evidently impressed with a belief that a pressure on the market will result, but we are inspired to think otherwise ; for, iu our opinion, the deliveries will be greatly augmented in coil sequeuee of purchases made by mummers iu antici pation of their requirements, and thereby tend to counter act the effect any temporary want of demand might other wise produce • while, looking at the present healthy state of the tads, ail the cheapness of money, we can see nothing, to justify an expectation that speculators will show an un• due anxiety to realise. With the present large stock (14,642 maks) and the certainty of its being increased, for • time at least, it is not surprising that a want of confidence should be evinced. It should be borne in mind, however, that there are important counteracting features which we have lately alluded toes connected with the market that require to be well considered, seeing that they must neceasarilv have great influence upon the average in the inaintanance of present prices. The deliveries siooe June have slmivn a comparative weekly increase (9,000 casks in the aggregute), notwithatandieg large supplies received direct at the out ports (as alluded to in a very able circular issued lust Moo day), and there can be no question but that a large consump tion will exist for some months hence. To-day the market has been very firm, and the following are current prices fur Y.C.,viz. :535. for fine tallow on the spot; 535. " buyers" fer ist. to Der.• 53a 6d. for Dec. only ; 335. 6d. " buyers " kw Jasesry to Der. ; and 54a. per cwt. fur March alone. The imports since Monday up to last evening have been 1,070 asks. The deliveries hays been, 1,412 tasks, and the present stock of all kinds is 44,642 sake, being a de creamed 1,168 casks when compared with the quantity on hand this day week. Town Melted is held with much thinner, and there are but few melters who will sell at even 64. als,ve " the Letter Price," which has been unaltered to-day from 55,, or say 525. lid. per cwt. net. The supply is still reported to be very deficient. The public sales to-day resulted as follows : Australian wild with fair spirit, 42 casks offered having found beyen at very full prices as follows : Mutton, fair to good, 535. ; middling and rather dark, Ms. 6d. to 325. tid.. dark and very dark, 51s. 3d.; and 4lia. to 495. per cwt. for very dark greasy and very greasy. kast India—That offered was chiefly dark to inferior quality, and of 'Xi paekages o ff ered only 16 Mids. middling and dark. part firm, found buyers at 52n. per cwt.

The market this morning opens with a good demand, the sales being estimated at 12,060 Use, 1,000 on speculation and export. COTTON GOODS. —3l.tscuesera, Barr. :N.—Prices are firm for cloths, but there is not quite co much business as Led week. In long cloths and T cloths producers are in an easier position, owing to stocks having been much lightened. In some kiwis of these goods produces are refusing precut rates, and prefer holding their goods from • belief that the demand will go on improving, and lead to more profitable rates. Domestics are steady, and the prices of narrow printing cloths are well sustained in consequence of makers being well muter contract. For 40-inch shirtiugs malier, are tolerably well supplied with orders, but price., though steady, are not satisfactory. Yarns are in moderately good demand for the home trade, and warps and cops are firm. Some spinners exact very full tate& Yarns adapted for the Derma markets are also in request. There is nut much business in Fast India mule, but quotations are stalely. Telegrams from Calcutta to the bit instant speak of an im• movement there, and towards the close of business to-day it transpired that • good deal of business had been done in cloths on the faith of these &deices.
