Prolongation of the war, greater vigour in con ducting it—such seems to be the opinion of the holders of cotton in Liverpool. They asked more for their cotton on account of the triumph of the Democrats and the defeat of the Republicans, fol.- lowed by the dismiesal of M.CLtmax. They, at least, on the supposition that the incoming of Amek ,ton is deferred by late events. Some politicians, both in this country and in America, take the opposite view. They say Mr. LINCOLN has always professed to b© guided by -what he understands to be the will of the people. He will see in the Democratic majority, first, the acceptance of their known, though not proclaimed, wish for reconciliation and peace ; secondly, he will accept• their Tote as one of censure on the anti, slayery policy, and withdraw his proclamation. These are plausible views. For there can be no doubt that, though afraid to say so, the Democrats would favour the largest concessions to the South for the sake of peace ; and their hostility to the successive anti-slavery measures of the Republican PRESIDENT and majority in Congress was never concealed. Still, the verdict of the Liverpool cotton men has, so far as we can yet see,most in its favour. First, and chiefly—success is the only thing which can retrieve the Republican position. If the Republican PRESIDENT can vanquish the South by any means, he and his party will be in power at the next Presidential election. The only question therefore, with the Republicans is—" Can we beat the South ? If we only can, all the past will be condoned, we shall be held to be the saviours of the State, and President LINCOLN w ill enjoy a double term of office." The Republicans have, therefore, not only their principles to animate them to action, but their interests. Till December twelvemonths is theirs. Why should they not " make hay while the sun shines." Their principles are infinitely nobler than those of the Democrats, their desire of office and leadership in the Union at least equal ; —when their principles point to the only course which also leads to office, why not give full effect to them ? England must not do the Republicans injustice. Their faults are many, but they share them with the Democrats and Southerns, indeed with all par ties in America. But they have one virtue which neither the Democrats nor the South have, they desire first the limitation of slavery, and that in order to its final extinction. The South is fana tical for slavery, and the Democrats of the North, through whom the South has hitherto governed the Union, are in no way averse to it. They :: 111 _ 1 (1 do for it anything asked by the South, not th%tanding the late split among them. Let us tha n Vr • e Republicans their due. Let us remem ber that for all the bullying and offensive con duct of Ameri tions, the S ea towards England and other na- llb• and the Democrats have been hitherto so/ay responsible, for they were solely in power. No city i nsto Lted the Prince of WALES but a great Southern city. The North, after all, gave him the warmest and heartiest of receptions ; the South could not brook th e Presence of the heir to the throne of an abolitionist nation. we may ad mit all the follies and pertnesa ks Mr. SEWARD, but they are trifles compared v,l th the persistent desire of the South openly p ro cl aimed as it was —to appropriate all Mexico, Central Ame rica,and Cuba, in the interests of emv ery . Both Democrats and Republicans are equally devoted to the worship of the Union, b ut the Republicans desire a Union in which Freedom shall be the ruling principle, the South and the Democrats—now dubbed the Tories of America —want a Republic of which slavery shall be the foundation. Let the territories be peopled with freemen, let the Free States be uncontaminated with the presence of the slaveholder and his pro perty, is the demand of the Republicans—let slavery fill the territories—let the slaveholder take " his property." to New York and Massachusetts if he pleases, is the demand of the South and the Democrats. Mr. LINCOLN and his friends will feel that if they do not their best now for their compArgtiyely am, noble principles, those principles may be thrown into the back ground for years. By using effectively his power for the next twelve months, and then for the following year of his Presidency, he may cripple the slave power for ever, whether the South secede or whether it be coerced to reunion. The triumph, on the bat tle-field, of the Republicans means the emancipa tion of the North American Continent from the impending curse of slavery. It is an issue worth vigorously worth fighting for ; and if the North can succeed in this issue, where is the Engiishman who will not wish it success. Absolutely certain is it that if slaveholders only gain their point of sepa rating with all the Border States, and the States west of the Mississippi, we shall soon have a power there stretching down to South America itself, reviving the slave trade and bullying Europe ; u nless indeed Europe, England included, consents to sell her long cherished principles for cotton, and to wink, not only at slavery but at the slave trade itself_ The dismissal of Al'n _LELLAN, we must confess, looks the right way. Disobedience to orders may have been the technical reason ; but all must per ceive that his strong political bias was what most unfitted him for the command in an army which was intended to carry emancipation to the negro. In this cause M'CLELLAN could: not, with his strong pro-slavery tendencies, be a hearty co-operator. We are told here that Mr. LINCOLN will submit to the rebuke of the Democratic majority, and withdraw his anti-slavery proclamation. All we can say is, that his first act does not point that way. He cashiers, under every other inducement to retain him, the commander who could not work the pro. clamation heartily. He hazards displeasing the army which M'CLELLAN had formed, and with which at last he had conquered, rather than leave an opponent of the proclamation in such an im portant command. 'Ve shall probably soon see now some decided steps taken. Already there are flying rumours of BURNSIDE'S defeat, and the re-occupation of Harper's Ferry by the Confederates. They appear to be not worthy of the least credit ; as little probable is the statement that Confederate pickets are on the wrong side of the Potomac between Point of Rocks and Berlin—two places near Har per's Ferry, and so directly in the rear of M'CLEL LAN'S advance, that we may be sure that cautious commander would allow of no such liberty being taken with his communications. Besides, we hear of STONEWALL JACKSON at Front Royal, some hundred miles from Harper's Ferry. As, however, M'CLELLAN leaves for inaction, and BURNSIDE is put in to act, the latter can hardly delay long to make some important movement, one which must be followed either by a damaging defeat or by 1 driving the enemy more to the South. The wea ther must be unfavourable to military action, but the Ist of January is now fast approaching, and Mr. LINCOLN must have his armies in a position to make his proclamation something better than waste paper. The telegrams coming to us from Athens — hough terse as telegrams as can be—are, we cannot but think it, full of significance. " The great pro. bability," says one, "of the election of Prince ALFRED to the throne has caused some excitement among the foreign Ministers." And no wonder ! " Tranquillity," it is added, nevertheless " prevails throughout the country." There is another tele gram, however, that reraarlm— ,, It is o.saGrtsd that the English Minister has consulted his Government with respect to the demonstrations taking place in favour of Prince ALFRED." To which the next flashes of the electric current append the intima tion :—" The English Government is stated to have replied that the Minister should in no way endea vour to influence the election." A reply this—if meaning anything—negatively favourably ! Election of Prince ALFRED to the throne of Greece would, if recognised frankly by the rest of the great European Powers, be manifestly to the advan tage of our own policy. The choice suggested would not alone, we are persuaded, prove advan tageous to the,interests of England. Prince ALFRED'S nomination to the Throne of Greece would be an advantage also to the Greek people themselves. And a disadvantage, we are perfectly satisfied of this, it would be, to no other Power in Christendom. Greece would beyond a doubt gain with the acceptance of Prince ALFRED a notable increase of territory by the absorption of the lonian Archipielago into her dominions. England, at the same time, by that very arrangement would be rid at last of a troublous and most vexatious Protectorate. Far more impor tant to Greece than the extension of her sway geo graphically, would be that guarantee of her liberties which would inevitably be secured to her upon her acceptance of England's second son for her Sovereign, Under her auspices, more surely than under the auspices of any other Prince that might be selected by her as the new occupant of her throne, Greece might reasonably count upon the enjoyment thence. forth of the priceless blessings of a Constitutiona Government. As to the influence the election of Prince ALFRED to the Throne of Greece would h av e upon the interests of France especially, but of the Western Powers of Europe generally, there is still reason to hope that it will be on calm reflection recognised at the Tuileries and at other courts as in no way malifio as in many important respects desirable to the majo rity of the nations of Christendom. A national guarantee, such a decision as this would be inevita bly, that yonder in the East the interests, not of England alone, not of Greece alone, but of Western Civilization itself would be cared for. Recognising this, we cannot induce ourselves to atiach any serious importance to the bragga dociose words blurted out by La France, to the effect that " The great Western Powers have com mon interests in the East, which ought to unite and not to divide them. It is evident," says La France, "that if one of the Powers desired to obtain a preponderance of the other the equilibrium of their relations would be disturbed, and a shock be given to the principles on which their good understand ing rests." It is not the Illoniteur that talks thus , remember—it is merely La France. The accents are not those of the Emperor NAPOLEON 111., but merely those of the Viscount DE LA GUERRONIERE. Italy may now, in one sense, draw breath again —in regard to her hopes. The ball has been at length extracted from the wound of GARIBALDI. The Chambers have again assembled at Turin. In each instance—What a relief I After this silence of waiting and suffering—after so very protracted a continuance of that " hope deferred" that in the Powerful language of Holy writ " maketh the heart after grieving months upon months over the precarious state of the health of the Italian Hero and over thz lack o f any opportunity whatever of calling the Italian ' Ministerer to account, for his (to say the least of it) tu r ; 7 4 r e n e questionable a e b y l e e s p a o n l i d c y —a appeal l two o long .wished-for g in the cloud suddenly a ppear before the the yearning hearts of theltalian people, B ide by aide, and simultaneously. -u pon the mor row of the re-assembling of the National Legisla ture at Turin, the rifle bullet was successfully— easily—withdrawn, by the skilled hand of Dr, ZANETTI, from the wounded Ankle of General OA. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1862. nrt,... ----__ RIBALDI, at Pisa. S o that, after all, Professor I PARTRIDGE was in error when, upon his first exa mination, he pronounced his opinion that there was no bullet therefor extraction ! Dr. NELATON being in the right when, in opposition to the majority of the surgeons, he asserted that there was: nay, probably in the right also when he affirmed that the probe he used in his examination actually struck against the ball still lying there perdu, A reasonable and confi dent hope may now be cherished, in earnest, that before very much longer the General's recovery from his sick couch may be effected, and his health (tried so seriously by these lengthened sufferings, and by this long confinement to the languor and inertness of life in au invalid's chamber) may, by judicious treatment, be rapidly and securely estab lished. Meanwhile there are these legislative discussions which have now commenced in earnest at Turin — where Signor RATTAZZI finds himself at last brought face to face with the ranks of a powerful and serried Opposition. This—after the affair of Aspromonte ! After—the ignoring by the Government of the Minister's Imperial patron, of the despatch or cir cular of General DURAND° ! After—the dissipa tion of the last faint, feeble, dimly-outlined expec tation that the policy of the RATTAZZI Cabinet was still pledged to the cause of Unifica tion. The Minister stands at this moment before the strong Opposition whose chief orators are now in rapid sequence following each other into the Tribune, to pour forth thence the phials of their wrath on the devoted heads of the Italian Premier and his Ministerial colleagues—RATTAlZl stands before the Chamber of Deputies and before the whole mass of the Italian population out of doors in this disadvantageous plight : that he is re cognised now on all hands as having deceived the nation, as having deceived his fellow-countrymen, at least so far if no further—that he is known now to have assumed a virtue while he had had it not ! To have ousted Signor RICASOLI in other words upon the pretence of going more resolutely and more determinedly to work to secure the simplification of the national difficulty and the dissipation of the national troubles by the one device of Italian Unity ! How far the Minister's policy has been successful in that direction Italy, Europe, the whole world knows now full well. The faintest vestige of a hope of any proximate solution of the problem has, under his insidious and double-dealing policy, been scouted. Events of a painful character demonstrate the fact that it is so. The conclusions arrived at are drawn from facts that no one can gain say. If the Opposition now confronting Signor RATTAZZI in the Chamber of Deputies at Turin were to move for his impeachment, they have names and dates, and facts, and documents within their reach, abundantly sufficient to enable any Parliamentary body to draw up a Bill of Attainder of a character altogether unanswerable and overwhelming. Every purpose, however, may—far more readily and quite as effectually—be answered by the agency of a free discussion of the whole political situation of the country in the popular chamber of the Italian legislature. To those discussions the friends of Italy may now, therefore, look most hopefully. Through the de bate which has but just been commenced in the Par liament at Turin, the patriotic portion of the as sembly may rationally hope to worst all the more insidious, and therefore all the more really dange rous members of the RATTAZZI Cabinet, to—" Con found their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks" —and generally to look for the expiation of all recent errors by resorting perhaps to RICASOLI, or at any rate, by calling to the helm of the State some man whose minsterial robes hare not been trailed in the blood of Aspromonte. The Duke of Rutland is entertaining a large party at Belvoir Castle. The MarquFs of Lansdowne has been receiving a succession of visitors at Bowood during the past week. THE MINISTRY.—Since the Cabinet Council, held on Thursday last, some of the ministers have left town. Sir George Grey has returned to his seat, Fallodon, Northum berland. Earl Granville is detained in London by the ill ness of his mother, the Dowager Countess Granville, who is resident in Hereford-street. Lord Palmerston is staying at his mansion in Piccadilly. Earl Russell is remaining at his residence in Richmond Park. The Duke of Somer set, the Duke of Newcastle, Mr. Gladstone, Sir George C. Lewis, and Mr. Milner Gibson continue in London.— bserver. THE EXHIBITION FINANCES.—At the meeting of the Society of Arts, last Wednesday. when Sir C. W. Mlle was present, Sir Thomas Phillips said in his opening ad dress—" I cannot detail with any precision the financial re sults of the Exhibition, but I understand the money paid for admission on this occasion has amounted to £409,000, whilst the receipts in 1851 were £423,792, including in each instance the payment for season tickets." _ vM - - On Saturday evening last her Majesty, with the Princesses, visited St. George's Chapel, and placed wreaths of unfading flowers over the vault of the late Prince Con sort.—Court Jourtial. THE BOMBAY MAIL.—SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 23. —The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Delta, Captain Weeks, with the heavy portion of the above mails, arrived here this evening. She brings 26 passengers, £lOO in specie, and 842 packages of merchandise. Her cargo chiefly consisting of grain. The Delta left Gibraltar on the 19th inst. On the following day she passed four men-of war entering the Tagus, and on the 23d passed the ship Walmer, which wished to be reported. Enchange on Lon don, at Gibraltar, 90 days, 501 ; Paris, sf. 29c. Freight unaltered. The weather continues cold but dry in Paris. The thermometer marked yesterday morning a little below zero, but at three in the afternoon, it had risen to 2 above 2oro Centigrade (33 3-sths Fahrenheit). THE CONVICT GARDNER.—The sweep, Samuel Gardner, who was to have suffered the chief penalty of the law last Monday with Robert Cooper, for the murder of his wife, but who, as our readers are aware, received a respite on the Saturday previous, still remains in Newgate, and no itimation bas yet been given as to the intentions of the Government with regard to his ultimate fate. He still per sists in declaring that he is innocent of the crime of mur dering his wife ; but it would seem that he does not now say anything with reference to the girl Humbler being the guilty party, but contents himself with the assertion of his own innocence. THE EMPEROR OF MOROCCO.—The following is from the Gibraltar Chronicle of the 18th inst. :—" Letters from Tangier mention that the Sultan of Morocco has re moved the prohibition against the importation of :sulphur and saltpetre. These articles are no longer to be the sub • ject of a monopoly, but, as an experiment for one year, they are to be admitted at an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent. The exportation of rags and aloe fibre is also to be allowed—the former paying a duty of 10 ounces (about is. 3d.) the canter or cwt,, and the latter six ounces. It is reported also that the Sultan is about to make his debut as a manufacturer, his highness having made arrangements for establishing a paper manufactory at Mogador, under the superintendence of an Englishman. Experiments in the cultivation of the cotton plant have been made on a small scale in the neighbourhood of Mazagan and Saffl. The specimens produced are reported to be of excellent quality, and have encouraged the Moorish Government to send for a large quantity of cotton seed) as well as for the machines used in cleaning the cotton, with a view of intro ducing the cotton cultivation into Barbary." THE SILK TRADE IN FRANCE.—The Salut Public of Lyons shows that the exportation of silks of all kinds, including ribbons and trimmings, reached, in 1861, a sum of 333,310,000 fr., being less by 121,421,410 fr. than in 1860. The resul , of 1861 is even inferior to the quinquennial ave rage by 86,806,712 fr. in 1861. The difference, compared with 1859, is 166 millions of francs. These figures (says the Salut Public) show the extent of the crisis through which the silk trade is now passing. A Naples letter in the Phare de la Loire gives some details of Count de Christen's attempt 10 escape from prison :—" The Count who was devising mum; of imitating Monsignor Cenatiempo, has been seized this week in the very act of attempting to escape. With the aid of one of his fellow prisoners he had succeeded in making two diffe rent openings in the prison walls. One led into the chapel, which is public, and the other on to the Mountain Saint- Martin. Since the escape of Conatiempo the jailors aro themselves overlooked by members of the city police, who are changed every day, so that it would be difficult to open negotiations with them with the view of corrupting them. It was those men who gave the alarm, and M. de Christen was aurprieetl atib.e was removing the 144 atm." LA .A li E E W S. THE WAR IN AMERICA. NEW YORK, Nov. 13. (Per Arabia, via Halifax.) The prize steamers Reliance, Swan, and Union have been sold at Key West. A large side-wheel steamer, the Caroline, formerly called Arizona, has been captured about 50 miles off Mobile, laden with arms and munitions of war from Havana. General Corcoran's brigade has left New York for the seat of war. The Harper's Ferry Investigating Committee has ordered Colonel Ford, of Ohio, and Major Baird, of the 126th New York Regiment, to be dismissed the service. It is semi-officially announced that there are no divisions in the Cabinet on Government measures. Lieutenant Johnson, of the 17th Kentucky Union Regiment, having tendered his resignation on ac count of Mr. Lincoln's proclamation, has been dis missed the service in disgrace. The _Richmond Examiner says that the declara tion of the British Secretary of War that the South had not yet accomplished her independence, has dissolved the prospect of foreign intervention. The Examiner thinks that England wishes to see the continuance of the war to the point of exhaustion of both North and South, in order to remove American rivalry in commercial enterprise and empire. Lord Lyons left New York for Washington on Tuesday last. Archbishop Hughes has written a letter to Mr. Seward, in which he says that America should be prepared, for there is no love for her on the other side of the Atlantic. Generally speaking, in Europe the United States are ignored, if not despised ; treated of in conversation in the same contemptuous language that Americans might employ towards the inhabitants of the Sandwich Islands or Vancouver's Island. The Archbishop is sorry to say that these assertions are unquestionably true. Letters are published in the New York journals showing that Superintendent of Police Kennedy, of New York city, on his own authority caused a lady from New Orleans, 22 years of age, named Brinsmode, to be arrested in Washington and brought to New York, where she was confined in a common cell of a police station during five weeks. All applications of her friends to see here were use less, Kennedy, threatening, if they continued their applications, to have them arrested. They then applied to the War Department and to Provost marshal Draper at Washington, who denied all knowledge of this arrest, and ordered the lady to be released at once. The grounds of her arrest were Kennedy's assertion that she sang secession airs on the steamer coming from New Orleans, and that she was a spy. The New York journals de nounce Kennedy's conduct as most infamous. The Federal expedition which left Newbern, North Carolina, has captured Hamilton and is ad vancing on Tarborough. The correspondent of the Boston Journal , writing from the squadron off Charleston on the 18th October, says that the British gunboat Racer entered Charleston and took away as passenger the British Consul, who states that the Confederates have launched a powerful ram, and that two more are ready for plating with iron which they expect to arrive from England. The steamer NashTille is lying at the month of Stone Inlet, six miles from Charleston, watching for a chance to run out. There were 200 cases of yellow fever at Charleston. The same correspon dent says that a steamer ran the Charleston blockade on the Bth (?). The Federal steamer Flambeau fired 22 shots against her side to stop her, but the shots rattled off like hail. She is supposed to be iron-plated, and also to have iron-plates on board. Major Sanders, a son of George N. Sanders, has been captured on his way to Europe with Confede. rate despatches. The Bermuda Gazette says that Admiral Milne, with a large fleet, will leave Halifax for Bermuda, on Nov. 15. General Fremont has been orderd to report him self for duty. General Scott has replied to President Buchanan's communication that Buchanan might have rein forced Forts Jackson and St. Philips with small gar risons until Congress could have raised volunteers. Gen. Scott cannot believe that Buchanan, although acknowledging himself responsible, consented to Secretary Floyd's removing 115,000 guns and rifles from Northern r e p osito ries to Southern arsenals, a 12 G 0 pieces of artillery to Ship Islandlalso en. Scott also defends him self for publishing various official communications. Two brokers in N e w York have been sent to Fort to the and r e moval Galveston. Lafayette for defrauding the Government by issuing forged bills on the Government Subsistence Depart ment. Fifty persons are said to be implicated, and the frauds are said to exceed 1,000,000 dols. A mixed court of justice, provided for by the recent treaty, has been organised in New York. Messrs. Truman, Smith, and Cephas Brainard are appointed United States Arbitrators, and Mr. E. M. Archibald, the British Consul, and Mr. W. D. ATHENS, Nov. 20, It is asserted that the English Minister has con suited his Government with respect to the demon strations taking place in favour of Prince Alfred.

The negotiations for the establishment of a Na tional Bank have been brought to a c onclusion. The Prince of Montenegro has ag ain protested against the erection of blockhouses along his fron tier, but the Porte persists in its intention. Intelligence has been received here from Athens that the choice of Prince Alfred for the Greek Throne is certain. TURIN, Nov. 22, EVENING. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies upon the Ministerial policy was continued to-day. Signor Boggio bolieyed that the difficulties of the situation with regard to foreign policy dated from the resolution of the Chamber, called forth by Count Cavour, declaring Ecine the capital of the kingdom. This resolution had excited impatience and had cast difficulties in the way of succeeding Ministries. The speaker concluded by asking a vote which should by agreement put an end to party differ ences, the majority desiring the reconstruction of the present Ministry upon a Parliamentary basis. Deputies Desanctis and de Cesare spoke against 1 the Ministry, the latter having declared that Italia* unity had been compromised in 1859, under Rat tazzi's Ministry. The Marquis Pepoli, in a speech which was loudly cheered, maintained the falsity of this accusation. PISA, Nov. 23. At 10 o'clock this morning Dr. Zanetti success extracted the bullet from Garibaldi's wound BRUSSELS, Nov. 23. The rlndependance Beige publishes a despatch stating that a splinter of bone and the bullet had been extracted from Garibaldi's wound with great FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 22. La France of this evening, in an article upon the attitude of England with respect to Greece, and on the proposal to elect Prince Alfred to the throne of that country, draws attention to the gravity of the situation, and says : " The great Western Powers have common inte rests in the East which ought to unite and not to divide them. It is evident that if one of the Powers desired to obtain a preponderance to the prejudice of the others the equilibrium of their relations would be disturbed, and a shock be given to the principles on which their good understanding rests." NOVEMBER 23, The Paris papers of to-day publish a telegram dated Athens, November 21, asserting that orders had been sent to Corfu from London to make pre parations in that island for the reception of Prince Alfred. La Patris publishes the following:— "We are informed from London, under date of the 21st of November, that H.E Baron de Brunow, the Russian Ambassador, has communicated to Lord Russell a despatch frost Prins() Gortschakoff with a view to establish that the Cabinet of St. Peters burg did not intend to deviate from the spirit and the letter of the 3d paragraph of the London protocol of the 3d of February, 1830, and that con sequently it could not recognise as Sovereign of Greece a Prince belonging to either of the families placed under that interdict.

The Epuca publishes a letter from Mexico, dated the 19th tilt., which states that the Belgian and Prussian Plenipotentiaries had protested against the expulsion of French citizens. It was believed that the Belgian Minister would be expelled the city for having addressed some severe language to Senor Lafuente regarding a tumour that Mexico was to be laid under water upon the approach of the French troops.

SlR,—Some of the warmest tippletts and petti coats that ever comforted the poor in our neighbour hood have been made year by year by young ladies of my acquaintance, from remnants of flannel- list and other selvages, hoarded for them by their friends and trade's-people, well knowing the good and charitable purpose to which these young Dorcases would apply it. Might not, also, patch work-coverlets, of great warmth, be made from tailors' cuttings, and the cuttings accumulated by cloak-makers, and artificers of woollen and other warm garments.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully, A SEXAGENARIAN.

Six,—ln the contributions I have received there are one or two cases where a private acknowledgment has been wanted in which I could scarcely make out the address, therefore I am not sure whether any acknowledgment of mine has been received. If those who have any influence with the various railway companies that have any commu nication with Ashton will use it so as to empower me to receive parcels of goods carriage free, they would confer a favour on me and benefit the cause of the distressed here considerably. Amongst the promises of contributions of work, postage s tamps received, I cannot help expressing my hearty thanks for the sympathetic letters of Lady Conyers, W. P. Roberts, "One who has little to give , " and "A single lady n ot affluent, but desirous to send a trifle to her distressed sisters in need." This last correspondent's favour I will acknowledge, ac cording to her wish, at the close of this undertaking, and of all others who have already sent donations and promises of work.' I shall have great pleasure in forwarding to any lady or gentleman who may not have seen my first letter, and who wish to know the particulars of my plan of relief, circulars, &c., containing all the necessary information. I had occasion to go out early this morning, about seven o'clock, to one of the newspaper offices in this town, and saw men, who ought to have been at their work, through the grey and misty light, standing with their hands in their pockets, appearing haggard, careworn, and distracted, their countenances speaking volumes to the passers-by, and tell ing him of cheerless homes, comfortless meals, and fireless dwellings. By the time the Bazaar is held all local means will be almost exhausted, and then what will the poor do unless there is provision made for them in some way ? If the present scheme is thoroughly supported by the rich and poor of the United Kingdom, it will be the means in some measure of warding off that evil day a little longer, and perhaps until there is a change in the state of affairs. Circulars, &c., in any quantity, will be forwarded to every lady or gentleman who may be wishful to advocate the cause of the wretched in their own immediate neigh bourhood. Again I beg for contributions of work, money, postage stamps. Asking you, Sir, to find a place for I leave the matter in the hands of the merciful. am your obedient servant, JOHN BLEASDBLL, Henry-square, Ashton-under-Lyne , Lancashire, Nov. 20, 1862.

It is fortunate for mankind in general, and for English mankind in paiticular, that we are in e position to prove that Miss Garrett's failures arc not all due to masuline malignity, but that in fact she might by this time actually have been reading for her " Bachelorship," but for the incorrigible action of her own sex. The proof is this :—Almost two years since Miss Garrett applied to a London medical school for admission to attend lectures. The Dean of the school thought she ought to be ad mitted, sounded the students, and found that there would be no opposition there, and then using all his influence called a meeting of his colleagues. There were eight in town who had votes, and the Dean knew that three beside himself were determinately in favour of the lady ; the others he was not so sure about; but on the doctrine of chances be thought the admittance was nearly certain. The night of meeting came, and Mr. Dean was voted to the chair. Now, said he to himself, all is right, for if we vote equally for and against, I have the casting vote. The business commenced, but to the chairman's annoyance two difficulties occurred; the four doubtful men were as one against the admission, while the staunchest of the four for the admission did not make an appear ance. The chairman, to gain time, asked every man to speak ; for himself he spoke twice, now earnestly, now amusingly, but it was of no avail ; time would fly, the defaulter did not come, and vote—vote they must. " Gentlemen, the question is—Shall Miss Garret be admitted a student of the school ?" " For Miss Garrett"—nree. "On the contrary"—Four. Motion lost, and meeting breaks up Dean very down at mouth, and Miss Garrett once more on the tender mercies of the hard world. Reader, dream not that the story is ended, you are quite mistaken if you think so, for the cream of it is now to come. On the morning following the meeting, the Dean, after a melancholy night, has tened to his energetic and yet defaulting colleague. "Friend," said the Dean, sharply, " why did you not come last night, your negligence lost us the vote ?" " Nay," replied the defaulter, " don't he angry ; sit down, and I'll tell you. The fact is I meant to come, for I believed in the cause, and I actually had on my hat and gloves to start, when my wife asked where I was going. She didn't want me to go out in fact, and so I had to show her the necessity for my presence at the meeting, and to urge that, as a chivalrous man, I must go. Will you believe it ?—On my honour, no sooner did I finish, than she opened on me as she never did before. A woman going to study anatomy with men stu dents, and I voting for it ! If I did it she would quit the house, and'—" We leave the rest ; simply recording that the gallant Professor got such a sound rating from his better half, that he was driven to retire back to his slippers, and to give up poor Miss Garrett to her fate. The Dean heard the nar rative and melted. " This is clearly a case," said he, " for the women themselves, and may be your your wife was right. One woman's opinion is as good as another, of course, perhaps better."—Soctial Science Review. MYSIERIOUS AFFAIR. A singular story formed the topic of conversation last week in Dublin. It is stated that a young lady of high respectability, daughter of a well known merchant in Dublin, left her father's re sidence early on Tuesday afternoon for a walk.. Not returning home at the hour - at which she was expected, her friends became un easy for her safety, and their anxiety in creased when hour after hour passed with out any tidings of her being received. Search was of course, made, and persons sent in various direc tions to endeavour to discover some intelligence as to what had become of her, but it was not until late in the evening that she was discovered by one of the servants, who found the young lady tied hand and foot to a tree in her father's shrubbery, her mouth being so completely gagged that she was totally un able to cry for help, or utter a sound. She was, of course, immediately released, and conveyed to the house, but it was some time before she was restored from the condition of exhaustion to which she had been rpaeopa On recovering, she stated that while walking through the grounds she suddenly net two men engaged in talking to each other ; that the mo ment these parties observed her, one of them fol lowed her, and asked her had she heard any of their conversation. She replied in the negative, but this they evidently disbelieved, as they proceeded to drag her to a tree, to the trunk of which they bound her securely, and, having gagged her, so as to pre vent her crying for help, they decamped, first cau tioning her that if she valued her life she would not disclose to any person what had occurred. Beyond tying her to the tree and gagging her they did not offer her any molestation. The state of terror in which the lady remained until discovered by the servant may be readily imagined. It is stated that her father subsequently received an anonymous letter warning him to take no proceedings to pur sue the matter further, as, if he took any step to wards discovering the parties, his daughter would be shot. It is surmi,ed that the parties were con nected with the murder of Mr. Braddell, and that one of them was Hayes, and that they feared that the lady had overheard sufficient of their conversa tion to point out who they were. The distribution of prizes by Colonel M‘Murde, Inspector-General of Volunteers, to the successful competitors in the 19th Middlesex Volunteers (Working Men's College Corps) took place on Satur day evening at Westminster-hall in the presence of a very numerous attendance of spectators. Lieu" tenant-Colonel Bathurst, the commandant of th e corps, in a brief address congratulated the regiment upon the advantage which was conferred upon teem by the presence ofColonel M'Murdo, who had kindly undertaken to distribute the prizes that evening, not as a matter of official duty, but as a proof of the interest he felt in the groat Volunteer movement. The report of the musketry instructor, Capta in Williams, showed a satisfactory improvement in the musketry practice and a considerable increase in the number of those who had gone through th e entire course of preliminary musket drill. Colonel M'Murdo then addressed the corps. He said he had much pleasure in attending there that evening, to t - only because of the high esteem with which he held the 19th Aliddlesex, but because he had desired an opportunity, which was then afforded him of s eeing the whole of the corps—he meant not only th e fighting men but also friends and supporters of the Volunteers. (Hear, hear.) It had often oc curred to him when inspecting Volunteers that , much as the country owed to those who served actively in the ranks, it owed much mer e to those who supported them. With regard to the object which had assembled them that night, be observed that he hid heard with the greatest sails faction the report of Capt. Williams, showing the great progress the members of the corps had made in musketry drill, and he could fully appreciate th e great advantage they had derived from the file t • that their musketry instructor was one of their own officers of volunteers. It was one of the most remark' able facts connected with the volunteer movement how officers came forward to carry their we n through their drill without pay, and simply fr oLn , love of the service and their country's good , an Capt. Williams was one of those officers. (He ar ' hear.) Before proceeding to distribute the prizes h e thought it was only right that, in his position as Inspector-General of Volunteers, he should impres s upon them that, however important it might be tha t , they should be good marksmen, and that they s heltie fully understand the value of the beau tiful weapon with which they were armed, he Wes . jealous lest they should imagine that a knowledge of the use of the rifle was the all in all of educat ion for soldiers in the field. He could assure the m that was not so, because without training, drill, ova tl a knowledge of their officers and non-commissi o n officers, no general who might command them in the field could have any confidence in them, wh ateler e might be their efficiency in rifle practice. The es t of the rifle was, doubtless, a most important pa.ra of a soldier's education, but without efficielleY t i ci other respects they would be of no use in th e fie' ; Ile might naturally refer them to examples o f w ar and more particularly to that war which wa s eeeer • ea ring in our own time. They were all acquatet 0, with the events that were recounted in th e nevl B papers, but he was sorry to say that he was uns,'tlo to perceive from these accounts any good likely w arise from the horrid, stupid, unnatural war n e l4 raging in America. Battles were fought app areet :o upon no intelligible principles, and, if he wer e d , make an observation applicable to those he Wag 9 a dreesing, it would be that if every man who boltse 0 at -Ball's Run had been a highest class marksniro he would have bolted all the same. There °of nothing in the dark moving mass of stupid erneeo, which constituted that war that could afford thoo instruction or information. It was true that 4 strategical movements of two leaders, Jackson ' co Stuart, were exceedingly admirable, and form eog contrast to the other operations of the eonteuu'ire', forces—a contrast such as forked lightning Old sented to the solid, heavy thunder cloud. Ile cv ie s rather refer them to some of those great bat , 40 which were fought in old times upon intellict principles, and, in order to prove th e truth of sv he had told them, that skill in musketry wastO eto that was required from a soldier, he would refer O le o to the battle of Austerlitz. Upon that occasion to. contending forces on each side were about 7 0,1/ he , The great Napoleon, with the prescience whi ch ~,,e . longed to a great general, perceived from the tet tion of the march of the allies that they were w 0 to turn his right flank, and he disposed Ws et b° foi e army to meet that movement. The night acing the battle the reports of his advanced g uard h sir confirmed his suspicions of the enemy's desige'lliell poleon issued a remarkable proclamation, in r i t he he pointed out to his soldiers the error tch ie e so allies were about to commit. He did so becansobd had confidence in his soldiers that they ww i h ea ted his orders and the orders of their officers. Ile le a them as friends, and when at night he rode along the line the soldiers lit bunches of straw as an to mination in honour of their general, cryi n g %or " We know what you are going to d o t° i g ed row, and we are prepared to do it. De 1 00 0 4 out of danger and trust to us." The next le° had t the allies made the movement he had expected fitv Napoleon at the proper moment sent Sc'ei"et, h e 20,000 men against the enemy's centre, sc . ll defeated, and then changing front to the r 1 g 6 0,0 00 mediately doubled up an opposing force ef . ,, jo gt° men. In that battle victory was not entirelle; goo superior musketry. One principal cause "W s t te tt° discipline, which enabled men to be brough 00 t/ 0 proper place, and concentrated their fire O j os: most important points. Reverting to th e se a diate business of that evening, he exP ree ti roll e , o gratification at learning that out of 6 83 e i t members of the corps, 423, or nearly t W f o tre c t had passed through a course of musketry of p es: tion, and he hoped that in the cours e olee A Or 0( year all the members would have passe' eats the course, and thus fulfilled the r equire rn p lee c ; a good soldier.

Three months ago we considered it our duty to draw the attention of the public to the sad condition Of the operatives in Glasgow connected with the cotton-spinning and weaving trade ; then, from statistics we published, it was shown that the dis tress amongst the cotton factory operatives, although pressing most heavily upon those of Lancashire, was not confined to them, but that in this city and neighbourhood sufferings of a very poignant nature being endured. The statement we published on the 18th of August showed that there were 4,417 per sons totally out of work, 4,118 working half-time, 1,664 working two-third time, 1,628 working three quarter time, and 4,380 fully employed. Soon after that statement was published the Lord Provost called a meeting, and an influential committee was appointed to collect subscriptions and relieve the necessitous. That it was appointed not an hour too soon has been shown ever since its ap pointment; and this fact will be made more ap parent from a survey of the statistics col lected during the present week. The executive relief committee, since their appointment on the 2d of September, have given weekly assistance to between 1,800 and 2,000 individuals. One day this week a member of the committee had himself no fewer than between forty and fifty applications for schedules. Of course all of those who have got re lief are now on the list, as from various causes a number have dropped off or been struck out, The paucity in the number of applications for relief, when compared with those who are actually un employed, is accounted for by the fact, which has been proved by the domiciliary visits of the sub committees of relief, that applications are never made until sheer want compels them. The quiet suffering that has thus been endured is beyond re cital. The executive relief committee are fully aware of the whole circumstances of the sad case, and are doing all they can to cope with its exigen cies. They were invested with full powers from the general committee appointed at the public meeting in September, and accordingly at once set about organising means for the collection of subscriptions and the distribution of relief.
