Sour of the ministerial journals of Paris pro fess to he greatly relieved by the assurances given in our columns last week that all the surmises of pledges, agreements, or change of policy resulting from the interviews of Cobknts, were mere moon shine. But surely their doubts and suspicions were wholly unnecessary. If there be one cha racteristic of English statesmen more than another, it is perseverance to the end in • policy seriously and deliberately adopted and well founded on the public interests. From the year 1831 down to the present time the policy of England towards Italy has never varied, not even when Lord Mei.wn+at-•v gave feeble, uncertain and vacil lating expression to it. It simply consists in claiming for the Italians good government, and the right in them to realize it by such means as they might select and in the form they prefer. Not even when there were reasonable appro. beimions that the partial success of the Italian cause would largely transfer to France the autho rity in Italy which Austria had previously exer cised, did England hang back. Nor did the an nexation of Savoy and Nice to France, and the dangers to Europe of the new delimitations of the French Empire, and the principle on which they were justified, abate one iota of the interest Eng land took in the cense of Italy. The expedition to Sicily was condemned by France . ; the invasion of Naples, Umbria, and the Marches was followed by the withdrawal of the French Minister from Turin. Russia denounced the injury done to monarchy in the abandonment of the 80tR150,18 ; and Prussia read Count CAVOUI a lesson on the abstract principles of international law, a rigid adherence to which would have produced anarchy in Naples, and left the revolutionary elements there free from all control In the midst of this confusion, Eng and, we venture to remind our Paris contempo raries, never flinched from her established policy ; she recognised the right of the Italians to achieve their own independence and freedom by their own exertions; she expressed no disapprobation of what they were doing ; she kept her ministers and diplomatic agents at their poets ; she did not apply to an exceptional state of things wise maxima of law, well suited to a normal condition ; she sought no combination with other States either to overawe France or control Italy ; and on the eve of the Italian triumph she does not endeavour to arrest or muddy it by proposing a l'ongreas of Five Great Powers, three of whom have no great love for liberty anywhere, at home or abroad. This being the course England hsa, uuder the present administration, pursued towards Italy, in contrast with the policy of the other Great Powers, appreheosions ebonies, or variations, or modifi cations in the English treatment of the Italian questiou to follow the visit of Queen Ytcroat• and her Foreign Minister to Coblenta, were certainly very idle and unnecessary. On Italy the opinions of Lords Pai.airenrom and Joins Reesau. have been firm, consistent, and determined through all the vicissitudm and trials of the last thirty years ; at times those opinion@ have been denounced as rash, at others as dangerous ; but it was not when their success was within grasp that they were likely to be abandoned or modified. The diffi culties of • etnapboated situation may at times make Englishmen wonder in what form of policy duties arising from very opposite will be reconciled, and the sera public jealous for the full representation of its conviction. will find expression in the press. But that is a domestic &Hair, and can in nowise warrant the suspicions of a change in our national policy, which we are told have prevailed abroad. That momentary apprehension has, however, happily passed away ; and the tint question for the public to consider is the French proposal of • Congress. To that proposition England, we re iterate, can give no support or encouragement ; because for a simple and natural, it substitutes • distorted or artificial view of Italy. We see Italian independence, unity, and freedom on the point of triumphing by the efforts of Italy itself. Why should we hesitate to acknowledge and recognise the legal consequences of the triumph T We acknowledged the independence of the South American Republica immediately that independence had become a fact in the world's history ; we acknowledged the independence of Greece and of Belgium without assembling European Congresses; we recogided: the reigning dynasties of Spain and Por tugal long before they were acknowledged by the Northern Powers ; we do not profess to be mem bers of any Areopagus for the readjustment of Europe ; our alliance is not a combination for the riven:uncut of the world ; we respect is others the right of doing whet we did moieties in 1688, r ra be• did In 1831:0, In 18414, and 1852. Why should we deny to Italy that which we have yi.).1e.1 awl neenr 'rrt to all the weld bi•iidesf Why should there be one rule for the strugglm for happiness of Parasol, P plummet . the kingdom fal out of the earth, . a puny infant f Why should growth be fettered by the rules sad regulations, the restric tions sad limitations, the meddling and making of a discordant Congress I Why should Italy have forced on her such a visitation and an infliction? power. -1 like On this point, too, the Paris press need hardly doubt that the policy of the British Cabinet is in harmony with the wishes of the British nation ; unless indeed France will limit the questions to be referred to Congressional solution to the evacua tion of Rome by her own troops, and the surrender of Venetia by Austria. Then, in good truth, there would be fit subjects for a common deliberation and • united action. But the French proposition finds, it is said, as little favour in the Court of Vienna as it does in the streets of London. And no wonder. Austria, relying more on the strength of the quadrilateral than on the lessons which experience and falling royalty teach her, still clings with dying tenacity to Venetia, in the hope of one day regaining the plains of Lombardy, and so once more dominating in the Peninsula. Shorn of Venetia, where would be the prestige, the influence, the authority of Austria in Germany? Confined within the limits of the Tyrol, Austria would be thrown back almost entirely on her Sclavonic nationalities, and ceasing to meddle with what does not concern her out of doors, she must descend to the homely but useful occupation of attending to her own concerns. And Prussia ; what will Prussia say to a Congrem ? Like the monster in The Tempest, Prussia has 100 frequently spoken with two voices on im portant questions, with a forward and a backward voice, neutralizing her high intelligence. But this very vacillation of Prussian policy will, we may be sure, deter Prussia from supporting the proposal of a Congress, in which, if she used her backward voice in disparagement of Italian free dom or unity, she would destroy the confidence which liberal Germany still has in her, while, if she used her forward voice in favour of popular freedom as opposed to monarchical pretensions, she would give deep offence to the Princes she met at Warsaw. On this occasion Prussia will, we cannot doubt, pluck up courage enough to follow the example of England, and reject the idea of a Congress where her representatives would sit on thorns. But—with Prussia, by all means, if co-opera tion be possible, without Prussia if she will not fairly cut her lot in with England in the great cause of temperate freedom—the policy of Eng land is clear and well-defined, the result and con sequence of her antusdent line of conduct as to Italy ; it is to leave Italy as free and unmolested in the hour of its triumph as in the course of its struggles ; to be a party to no " solidarity" of the Great Powers as to its future development ; to let things take their natural course, and not to at-' tempt to dam up or turn aside the ordinary and well-directed current of affairs and events in the Peninsula whose people are about to become a Nation. It is very generally asserted and believed that the failure of the Warsaw Conferences mainly arose from the prominence given by the Cw in the Im perial and Royal deliberations to a revision of the Treaty of Paris ; that being the main object at present of the policy of Russia. To the revision of the treaty, deemed necessary by Russia in satisfac tion of it. amour propre, the other Potentates were unable to anent. ft)/ Qourt. WIND9IOR CAME, Ocv. 29.

The Austria* manes took place at Pies* op the 23 rd. An illu mination had been ordered, but darkness had scarcely set in when bands of young men traversed the streets, putting out the lamps. Vast crowds were abroad, great excitement existed, and cries and appeals of all sorts were heard. It was found necessary to call the troops to arms. Small patrols of ten or twelve men were insulted. A man who was arrested was torn /rote the hands of the soldiers. The soldiery were called out in larger numbers, and kept the streets clear by marching in elope columns. Several persons are said to have been wounded, and the tumult was not appeased at 9 o'clock." The Ost- Deutsche Post says :—" The students were the pri mary cause of the disturbance of yesterday evening. The young men were at the Calf Filinger all the day, and when it was announced that some houses in the Faubourg Leopold were being illuminated, some 30 of them proceeded to that quarter of the city, and a desperate tight took place in the Place Christophe before the hotel of the King of Hungary. They attacked the house of a stereo scope manufacturer, who had illuminated. The soldiers interfered. A soldier of the guard received a cut in the back from a knife, and two persons were mortally wounded. A Attie after the Zrluyi brewery was the scene of a fierce contest. The brewery was completely gutted,and • great number of persons were wounded." The Wanderer says :—" Fresh tumults occurred on the 24th, and the troops had to be called out.

General Lamoriciere has been created a Roman noble. A decree orders s modal to be struck in his honour. Mgr. Sacconi, the Papal nuncio at Paris, has arrived at Rome, on unlimited leave of abeam. Mgr. Berardi has resigned the secretaryship of state. His brother has been dismissed from his post in the ministry of the interior. The Duke de Grammont has addressed to Car dinal Antonelli a protest against the answer pub lished by General Lamoricitre, in the official Giornale di Roma, to the note in the Moniteur of the 15th instant, in reference to the telegraphic despatch sent by the Duke de Grammont to the French consul at Ancona. NAPLXS. than it way last week. M. de Metternich, .. in company with M. de Hubner, saw the Emperor yesterday at st. Cloud, is said to have been less tnichtutt than might have been supposed from the reports that were current as to his mission. I have beard it said in the course of the day that there was a coalition at Warsaw, but only a defen sive one, and this appears to be the substanoe of a P.S. in the Prase, which states that Austria, having insisted at Warsaw upon the necessity of putting a stop to the progress of the revolution, and having put forward her recent constitutional reforms in Hungary as a title to the sympathies of the powers, Prussia and Russia did not absolutely decline to assist Austria in certain eventualities, but they limited their promises of assistance to the case of Austria being forced to defend herself against an attack from Piedmont. If this infor mation be correct, it is assumed to follow that there is nu danger of immediate war, as Piedmont will certainly not assume the offensive towards Austria for some months to come. The review which the Emperor will pass to morrow on the Suresne racecourse, is announced as something quite out of the common way. With the exception of the cavalry at Fontainebleau, Compiegne, Melun, and Meaux, the whole of the Imperial Guard will be upon the ground. Tents will be pitched, and the troops will breakfast in them as in a campaign. At 11 o'clock, the Emperor will give a collation to the officers iu the racing stands. At 1 o'clock tents will be folded, and then the Emperor will order some manwuvres such as the limited space, in comparison with the number of troops to be reviewed, will permit. The Bourse, accurately reflecting the aspect of the political world, was in a state of suspense. The Rents, after rising languidly to 68fr. 96c., became weaker and left off at 68fr. 86c., with a fall from Saturday of fic. Mobilier rose sfr. Some of the railways were 2fr. or Mr. higher. At the Russian embassy the news of the death of the Empress Dowager of Russia is hourly ex pected ; this is important, as showing that the reason alleged for the abrupt termination of the Warsaw conference may have been the true one. The expected news of Victor Eunnanners entry into Naples yesterday has not come, and I hear that the event is postponed for two or three days. The Pays and Petrie are both iustructed to con tradict reports of bad news having arrived from China ; the mail is expected to-day at Marseilles. The wonderfully fine weather which we are now enjoying, after a bad season of almost unparalleled duration, is favourable for wheat sowing, and has checked the upward tendency in the corn markets. The wine harvest in some few departments has been sufficiently late to benefit by the happy change. There is, however, no doubt whatever that, generally speaking, the French wine of 1860 will be of frightfully bad quality. The quantity is greater than was expected, and, according to the most authentic accounts, exceeds that of 1859. But the melancholy explanation of this fact is that vast quantities of bad gr►pes have been thrown into the must, which in years of ordinary sunshine would have been burnt up. Two southern departments, the Remit and the Aude, have been especially favoured. The weather there was better during the summer than in almost any other part of Europe ; and it is said that the wine crop, while being the largest ever seen in tbe pre sent century, is of very good quality. The conse quence is that the prices of these strong heady southern wines will be much higher than usual, and many large proprietors will make their fortunes. SARDINIA. (FLOW OCR. OWW TURIN, Ocr. 26. If my information is correct, as I have reason to believe it to be, his Majesty the King, with the advice of his ministers, has determined to bestow on General Garibaldi, for the eminent services he has rendered to the country and the throne, the title of Prince of Calataiimr, with an biome of thirty thousand lire, and to be decorated with the collar of the order of the Annunciation. Italy will be nnfe4nedly rejoiced at seeing such a guerdon conferred ou one of her children so distinguished for his knightly prowess. I have strong hopes of being able to send you before long some further highly interesting information on this subject. Everywhere in the state the mobilised Naticmal Guard is showing a most praiseworthy seal. Now, while pesos still luta, it is inuring itself to the fatigues of war and military habits. Should hosti lities commence we have the well-founded hope of seeing it afford most valuable aid to the regular army. The eventuality of war is not believed here to be very remote. The railway conveys every night to Verona and 'Mantua immense stores and materiel ; several trains also arrive daily at those places with soldiers, who say they . are going to break up Italy. A strong body is already south of the Po, the district which Prince Napoleon, in his ignorance of topography and military affairs, suffered Austria to retain over and above her natural frontier, when his cousin the Emperor Napoleon consigned to him the task of settling the line of demarcation for the peace of Villafranca. In that position the Austrian army has an immense advantage, and can at any moment attack us with comparative ease. Baron Ricasoli has withdrawn his resignation, and will remain as Governor of TuseanY in oom plinnoe with the wish of Count Cevour. It is tolerably curtain that Count Marco Minghetti, who came to Turin yesterday, will be the new Minister of the Interior instead of Farini. The count is a Bolognese, and a deputy belonging to the majority of the chamber. Ever since 1848 he distinguished himself in the Papal State by his talents, business habits, and steedyapplication, but his tenacity of certain ideas displeases Pius IX. He bas written well on financial subject% and poll-i tical economy, and among the rising parliamentary orators of Italy holds high rank. Speaking of him. I self, he says .—" Singular to say, I was endowed by nature with the moat cone-rvative instineta, but I the execrable gov ernment of the Pope has made me a revolutionist. " In fact, he ia a revolutionist, but not more one than Count Oavour is, or I should say still less. He was employed for a short time in our ministry of foreign affairs. He takes office at • time of arduous arid difficult transition, when the state is doubling ilk gaze with elements not yet quite homogeneous, and requiring Ito be more completely brought into order before affinity can be converted into union. Great astonishment has been felt here at a letter from Madame LamoriciAre to a French provineial I newspaper, in which she declares it is not true that she had requeeted General Cialdini to send her hews of herlituhand. This, she says, would have been inconsistent with her dignity, that is, with bee sense of propriety. Now, it seems to me, In the first place, thetas& lady commits no breach of decorum by asking after her own hus band. But whether it be consonant with feminine dignity or not, the fact is that she did speak on the subject to the Cavaliers Sipa, who was. at the time our representative at Pans, and be sent by telegraph a question to the minister, who at once responded to the wish extrressed by the lady. If she wounds her dignity, it is by delaying do. favour siown. The Cavaliers Mara wee cur , prised at the untruthful deolaration, add if he has :ho volunteers under his command, will play an important part in this great battle. We ac oonlingly are expecting, most anxiously, some im portant news this evening. King Victor Kmmanuel's entry into Naples will take place in the first half of November. Count Litta Modignani and others of his suite, who are to accompany him on that solemn occasion, have as yet received no orders to leave Turin. On the other hand, at Naples itself, the preparations for the festive display of that eventful day are not yet com pleted, notwithstanding the zealous exertions of the municipality. Nib .1.

THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL. The Solicitor-General (Sir W. Atherton) attended a meeting of hia constituents at Durham, on Thuncisy, and reviewed the legislation of the smaioa. He expressed approval of the bills for preventing adulter ation, for opening endowed schools to diameters, and for the meosgemeot of endowed charities. Sir W. Atherton next explained, by reference to dates and fat* how the bills for the reform of the bankmptcy laws and for the con solidation of the statutes bad failed. He then referred to other law bills that had Famed—the bill' for reform of the Court of Chancery, for reform of the Divorce Court, and for reform of the Ecclesiastical Court. The French Treaty had been sanctioned and the national defences improved. New laws for the government of the navy and for the amalgamation of the Indian armies had also been passed. The SolicitorCeneral next referred to the bill regulating the admission of Jewish members of the House of Commons by standing order, and not by resolution in each case; the Comma Bill, a bill reforming the Ecclesiastical COMM/1h Mon, the Mines Inspection Bill, the bill for repressing party processions in Ireland. Besides these bills, in themselves proofs that • ent had not been very idle, Sir W. Atherton of the so bjec disowned, church-rates, the Maraooth grant, the he.llot, whirls he advocated, and the paper duty. On this last point he said:—The House of Lords had the power to refuse its meet to any and every measure coming from the House of Commons ; the Sore. reign could refuse went to any and every measure coming from the Lords and Commons ; but if they were to do so. though acting in accordance with the letter of the law, there would be such • departure from its spirit es to throw the state into a condition of anarchyr and revolution. ("Hear," and applause.) However, theLordlhad frustreted. by their unconstitutional rejection of the bill for the aboli tion of the paper duty, • part of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer's budget which had been looked forward to with great interest. He believed there was no reason to appre hend • repetition of such • ooune--suicidel as it must he— on the part of the House of Lot& (Hear, bear.) Now, a word a bou t the Reform Bill. In his opinion that bill was a good bill, and if adopted by parliament, it probably—at all events for some time to come—would have given satidection to the country. But how had it turned out? The bill failed to pass the House of Commons, and he would explain how that occurred.

CAPITAL PLINIIIIINIENT IN THE UNITED STATES I —The Court of Appeals of this State has just announced • decision which is a striking illustration of the evils of hr . ti legislation. The revised statutes of New York contained. among other thing; "An Act concerning Crimes and Punishments ; " wherein it was provided that certain offences should be pun ishable with death, and that "the punish ment of death shall hi all eases be inflictol by hanging the convict by the neck until he he dead." Last winter the philanthropists made an effort to have capital punishment abolished. They had • long hearing before the As sembly Committee, which resulted in • compromise, providing that only triaeon and murder iu the first de gree should be hereafter punished with death, and that the sentence should not be carried into execution within a year after conviction, daring which time the convict should be kept at hard labour. The repealing clause of the new act was intended to embrace all the cameo of the old act inconsistent with it; but, by some error, it included the words that I have quoted above. I understand that the 1 court decide that the new law, having abolished the only Mutate ilefiuing banging as the mode of punishment, and itself prescribing no new mode,. there is nee no known Saalapoe %Lich can be pronounced against aperient convicted of murder is thu first degree. Thus, by the possible mis , take of a clerk, or the trick of an agent, the legislature of the state of New York have been forced into the temporary abolition of capital punishment. —Correspondent at New York.

At Fairburn, a small village about two milm and • half from Ferrybridge, Lord Palmerston has an estate of some twelve or thirteen hundred acres ; hie tenants consisting of about a dozen farmers and probably as many oettagers. Yesterday the noble lord visited his Yorkshire estate, and was received very cordially by the trientry. He Want over the farms, and entered the dwellings of most of his tenants, and appeared to take • lively interest their comfort and wellbeing. Lord Palnarstol was idler wards entertained at an elegant and sumptuous luncheon, provided by the Vicar of Ledaham and the agents sad tenant, of his lordship. Fairborn is in the township of Ledsham, and the luncheon took place at Leathern vicarage, which was kindly offered for the occasion by the vicar, the Rev. J. T. B. Landon. The proceedings were of a privat e character, though the greatest courtesy and hospitality sea s shown to the repreeentetives of theprese, whohadgone to the vicarage with the intention of reporting the speeches. In ad. dition to the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Landon, the Yorkshire agents of Lord Palmerston (Messrs. Arundel), and the tenantry, there were also present at the luncheon, lady Galway, R. M. Milner, Fag., M.P., and Mrs. Milos; F. G T. Gas. coigne. Esq., and Mrs. Gascoigne (Arlington Hall) ; the Rev. Mr. Bland, and Mrs. Bland (Kipper). Lady Palmer. stun, having caught a slight cold, was preveuted front attending. After the repast, the usual loyal toast, were drunk, followed by the toast of Lord and lady Palmerston, which was received with enthusiasm, and duly responded to by the noble lord. His lordship afterwards proposed the health of Mr. and Hrs. Landon. The last toast on the list, " The House of Commons," was replied to by Mr. Mikes. Lord Palmerston soon after left the vicarage amidst loud hurrahs, and proceeded to the residence of Sir J. Hamden, at Byrom Hall, where he will remain until Wednesday. The affair palmed off altogether most pleasantly, and his lordship's visit to his tenantry cannot fail lotave been • source of mutual gratificetion. The balls of the ancient church of Ledaham sent forth merry peals in the course of the afternoon. An interesting incident occurred during the brief sojourn Lord Palmerston made at Fairourn. Hia lordship noticed a miserable, dirty-looking little building, used as a lookup, and remarked that it was as bad as on of the prisons of Naples. On inquiring to whom it be. ladled, he was rather amused and surprised to Ind that he was the owner of it himself. He instantly gave coleus that It should be pulled down, adding that it wee ► disgrace even for the purpose for which it was intended. His also inquired if any person had been imprisoned in it lately, and was informed in the negative, and expressed his pleasure at the satisfactory mete of the district, as regards crime, which that fact indicated. Leaving Fairburn, the noble lord gave • piece of land to enlarge the burial ground attached to the chapel of ease there. He also inspected the schools in the village, of which he is the principal supporter, and was much pleased to find that they were very efficiently conducted. ROBBERY OP ELEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS.

Mr. Samuel Cheetham depored that the prisoner was a porter in big service, and had occasionally been employed to collect, but had no authority to collect the sums he had ob. Mined. On liVedreaday leat the erieoner asked leave to go off for a few days, and he (air. Cheettimul gave him permission to go, and he wan to he hack on Friday morning. As he did not come to work on Friday, wituosa went to collect some accounts, and then found that the priso ner had been before him, a week or e fortnight, ht, and bad in owe oases allowed an extra per cent. in order to get hold of the money.

THE ROBBERY OF L'21.:10 FROM A NOTTINOHAV BOOKMAKER. NOTTLNGHAK Yornar. Yeaterilny Mr. Nichols, of this town, who bad been garotted at Newmarket and robbed of nearly 3,1.1 , . on the previous Friday, arrived in Nottingham. A Islet nutline of the affair has already appeared, partly incorrect. Mr. Nichols, however, gives the following version of the robbery :—On night be went to an establishniew in one the main thoroughfares of Newmarket where sportier men ere in the habit of assembling during the i..io meetings at that town. nut wrote a letter for tr a ns. mission by that evening's post to Netalugtonti. Ho ti.eo left the house and proceeded to the back of the premises. when he felt himself suddenly g,numed tightly by the lock from behind, and in such a manner se to deprive him of all power of resistance, and, indeed, of capacity to give as alarm. At the Mine instant he saw a little mss come in front of him and heard a voice say "Open hi+ wiiiteent." He then became insemilde, and was unconscious of anything for some time. On recovering be found himself lying men the ground with his clothes disarranged, sod on searclung kis pockets he discovered that he had been robbed of his watch and the whole of his money (with the exception of amounting to 1,1405. Is. GI. in lank note+, :_•^lcl, and silver, and a cheque on Messrs. Moore and itobinson'a bank for 850 f. No trace whatever of the thieves could he found. It was ascertained that two roes had by the means of a ladder passed over a wall near the scene of the robbrry, and thence made their escape through a house, one of the inmates of which observed two fellows, one &weed in irk clothes, the other iu light, hurry through the passage. The greatest sympathy wan expressed tower& the victim of this flagrant outrage, and Mr. Payne, one of the leading nien the turf. o ff ered to head a subscription with the aunt .4 - 0. to reimburse Nichols for his loss ; several other member , t the ring also expressed their willingnessto follow thi• c• ample. It is eatistictory to odd that as fares persons! in• Junes are concerned, the report in the Manchester paper is exaggerated. Nichol+ lute sustained no material injury (min the ill.treatment he received ; none of his ribs are bre*.vo. nor is he in any way maimed or rendered incerehle of r r. suing his ordinary avocations. Ilia pecuniary km will, it ',Us he feared,be considerable under any cinumstenvee. Ouly ens or two of the bank notes In his privession inn be titled, the numbers of the peat bulk of them, which vs believe he drew from Menge. Moore and Robinson's leek previous to his departure from Newmarket, not be•u; known. The cheque for Wt. will, of coulee, be umvaib able to the thieves, as payment of it has been stopped. It is perhaps due to Nichols to state that, severe s , . loss has been, he is, we uuder+tand, quite able to roc' his engagements. His heaviest lasses at Newmrtet amount to about 900/., principally due to persons reudent in Manchester, and this sum will be paid before Weilneshiy.
