Our calculations several days since, as to the probabilities of his route, are being to the letter fulfilled. Instead of diverging to one of the southern ports of Sicily, and thence making a dash to get suddenly to the mainland, meaning the peninsula—the General is slowly, but steadily, advancing through the mountains towards his ori ginal destination at the eastern extremity of the island. Caltanisetta has been passed through. Thence trending slightly to the north-east, Castro giovanni has been reached. And from Castro giovanni, the popular hero has advanced to Piazzi, attended by about a thousand of his volunteers. The Royal troops being still upon the track of the Garibaldian force: affecting great eagernessin their pursuit, but in reality, though for a very diffe rent reason, taking GARIBALDI'S guiding motto, for the time being, as their own—to wit jestina lent o . A s we said from the first, as every o ne reco g nis ed clearly enough—the Royal army would think twi ce b e f ore closing in deadly conflict with the recruits marshalled under the banner of GARIBALDI. While GARI BALDI himself finds it advisable in many ways to lengthen out his proceedings, for a moderate inter val at least, so as to gather his forces together more effectually, so as to get them more within the grasp of his command as it were, so as to be enabled the more effectively to hurl them at the right moment in the most advisable direction, like the pebble from the pouch, at the head of the Gallic GOLIATH. Delay at any rate is so far preferable as the guid ing principle of the momentary policy of GARI BALDI, now in arms with his followers in the in terior of Sicily, that precipitate action just now upon his part could hardly by possibility lead to anything but some frightful disaster. With delay it is impossible to say what advantage may not arise, for him and his, out of the imminence of the crisis. All the other leaders are in a glaringly false position! Can any one for an instant venture to gainsay this ? The EMPEROR is in a false posi tion ! The POPE is in a false position ! The KING is in a false position! And so too is RATAZZI—SO too are the whole of his colleagues in the Italian Government. The popularity of our hero altogether surpassing that of any other nota bility or notabilities, throughout the whole of the Italian peninsula, from the shores of the Adriatic to those of the Mediterranean, from Cape Spartivento to the range of the Carpathians. GARIBALDI has himself, of course, blundered, it is true, for once into a decidedly false position, and that but just now. But so also, we repeat, have the others done long and long ago. And while they are all of them consequently in this respect at least pretty much upon a par—GARIBALDI, RATTAZZI, VICTOR EMMANUEL 11., Pius IX., and NAPOLEON lll.—the popularity of GARIBALDI lies in the hearts of 25,000,000 Italians ! This alone is an immense advantage to him. And while this is a fact alto gether undeniable—while the love and admiration of the Italians for GARIBALDI are feelings cherished in the bosoms alike of the Milanese and of the Neapo litans, of the Tuscans and of the Sicilians—GAßl ßALDl is there, in the centre, of Sicily among those thickly-wooded mountain fastnesses at the head of some 3,000 armed followers. Strong in his geo graphical position—strong in the enthusiasm of his adherents—strong in the popularity of his cause— but especially strong in his own great name, in his undoubted honesty, and in his magnificent disinterestedness. Wild, impracticable, and ex travagant his whole enterprise at this moment ap pears to be. The odds are seemingly dead against him. He has been virtually pronounced a Traitor by his Sovereign. He has been disclaimed by the Government. He has been again and again con - demned in the chambers of the Legislature. He is at this moment being followed by the royal troops,s word in hand,with the avowed determination on their part, to put him down, and to put an end to the movement he has originated. But while this is so—how many of the Italians are there, how many are there of those 25,000,000 who are secretly heart and soul for GARIBALDI ? How many of them wish him well—even in this new enterprise ? All that is wanted for the manifestation of this good will is the discovery of a suitable opportunity. It may come at any moment. And it is for this reason that Delay is obviously to the advantage of GARIBALDI. One of the most marvellous facts in the Ameri can war is the transformatian it has wrought in I the Southern States. At the transformation from bullies of other countries to courtiers, we need not, perhaps, wonder so much ; it is the work of necessity. Till 1860 they were the most arrogant and insulting of all. They knew that we detested their slavery, they knew that other European nations despised them as slaveholders, they regarded our anti-slave-trade efforts as a slur upon them, and the Presidents and Cabinets which they installed in office were the men who were never weary of bullying England, of toady ing to France and Russia, and of extorting every unrighteous concession from us, under the threat °" - -fight or yield, Even at the opening of this _ these Southern gentry thought that, through Is v ane Cotton," they could compel European S tates t recognise them, or at least to prevent the blockade, fort h. and thus to enable them, in ex changerunotton, to procure from Europe all the tood ilea. military supplies of which they nav a ina They proffered us free s trade w ith one head,and with the other our cause. eb t, none of this, unless you more o clutched therirlecsosttdoinr,ec,,tai;in changed. They Their whole t o to ne, geek haorwmeevde riineaen, professed not - bu t they "tt Y sent over Corinnai ss ioners to make oss' le n appeal to the self - interest ou of European e tries--- of France and England es p ecially. They .. et, !l no A b o th sections of longer bullies, They left Mr. SEWAD Rto tix..eo , t e _ on in the old style common to th e States before, and to tell the Powers. of Euro p e that they would interfere at their peril. They took care to keep in the back ground their infernal syst em of buying and selling their fellow wen. They spoke of commercial wrongs, endured, in" dead, under tariffs w h ich they themselves had 0 voted, but thie they did not mention, .iippregasialg THE SUN, LONDON, any mention of the frightful violation of all justice, human and divine, on which they base their confe deration—calling slavery, indeed, divine between themselves, but saying nothing about it to us— they appeal to us as a people patriotically defending their own soil. With four millions of slaves groaning under the lash, they come across the water pro claiming that their battle is for national indepen dence and freedom ! Thus have the most outrageous and violent and swaggering bullies on earth been converted, so far as European nations are concerned, into a professedly modest and friendly people. Such in the South have been the lessons of adver sity. We may well doubt, however, whether they would not soon be forgotten in prosperity ; and the distich respecting the demeanour of SATAN himself in sickness be once more verified. But the other change we have in view is still more remarkable. The boast, as we thought it, of JEFFERSON DAVIS has thus been a second time verified—domestic skill has been so far stimulated by exclusion from foreign markets that the Confe derate States have sufficed for their own wants. Many luxuries of dress, diet, may be equipage, we sure they must dispense with, but they have found food and clothing sufficient, and homelier living, and coarse and mended clothing, would naturally come to be regarded as badges of patriotism. Their cotton, we are told, they work up into coarse fabrics for ;the soldiers and for their slaves, too, we may be sure ; so much so, that a large part of the supply dreaded by India, at the close of the war, come when it may, will be found to have vanished. Breadstuffs and animals for food they would naturally produce themselves, to the dis comfort of the North-Western States, who must and their markets encumbered with the pork and wheat which they used to send South. But what must have surprised all, is their contriving to almost extemporise the munitions of war. We confess it has taught us that we need not put our selves in any panic about our competency to meet a foreign war, even if the stores of Woolwich and Weedon did not almost burst their walls. If the Secessionists, with their want of mechanical means, can meet as they do the well-supplied armies of the North, what could not England do in a few weeks or months. True the traitor FLOYD had supplied the South to the best of his ability ; but it was, for the more part, with an inferior class of arms. Yet these people, so wanting in mechanical and manufactur ing enterprise, so destitute even of the raw mate rial, seem all at once to have found both ma terials, ingenuity, and artistic skill. To read such accounts as Mr. F. L. OLMSTEAD'S, of of what not only the country but the towns of the South were, and to find them at a few months' notice full of resources and enterprise, is one of the most striking facts we ever met with in the history of a revolution. Sulphur and saltpetre they get from somewhere—for powder they make somehow. They contrive to capture, but certainly also to make new artillery, and to improve old guns. With hardly a ship to . call their own they have performed naval feats which w ill never be forgotten, and, are to the great dismay of the Federals, threatening to repeat them. Under these circumstances all the world has felt that the Merrimac and the Arkansas were greater marvels of skill than our Warrior and Black Prince. The evidence is conclusive, that, up to the date of the war, the South looked to the North to manufacture almost every article of domestic or military use. In a single year, it has become its own manufacturer ! Illegal, therefore, as were the grounds of their secession, vile and hideous as a constitution must be which treats as articles of merchandise, as human cattle, one-third of the population, it is yet clear that the inspiration of political independence has converted a nation of bullies into one which, for the present at least, behaves with international courtesy, and a shiftless agricultural population into an ener getic manufacturing race. We should not wonder if the war improves the South as much as it deterio rates the North. It may find out the comfort and pleasure of reasonable international behaviour, and it will certainly not lose all at once the advantage of the skill and energy which necessity has taught its artizans. Nor should we be much surprised if slavery itself were mitigated in an independent South, as a result of the war. We may well believe that slaves must be better treated now in consequence of it. Cotton growing, and its culture will not be everything. General agriculture is a far more intelligent and civilised occupation. Political exasperation with the Free States will not react against the negroes. Emulation will com pel them to train their slaves to more skilful oc cupations ; and it is at least certain that they will treat their negroes as well as they would be treated in New York itself. Ten years after the coup d'etat the Emperor NAPOLEON 111. has reviewed, for the first time dur ing his reign, 30,000 of the National Guard of Paris. This was on Thursday the 14th. On the following day, the 15th, NINETY-THREE years had elapsed since the occurrence of the event which has caused that date to be celebrated in France, and to be known throughout the world, as the Fete NAPO LEON ! Ninety-three years ago, on that day, was born the Founder of the NAPOLEON Dynasty. And yesterday, upon the ninety-third recurrence of that anniversary, the Third NAPOLEON was far advanced in the tenth year of his reign—so far advanced in his reign that he could, upon the eve of the Imperial Fete, celebrate its approach in the exceptional manner indicated just now, namely, by review ing the National Guard of Paris for the first time since the coup d'etat of the 2d of Decem ber. Reviewing them, as already intimated, to the number of 30,000 ! The whole of the arme force who were out in the streets of the Capital, and in the Champ de Mars on Thursday, the 14th of August, numbering, altogether, it is calculated — that is massing together the soldiers of the National Guard, and of the Imperial Army, infantry, cavalry, artillery, and engineers —not: far short of 70,000 men ! It is significant of the strength of the im perial regime that the incident here particularised should have taken place, and, beyond all, that it should have passed off in every way, as it did, so satisfactory. It was judiciously arranged beforehand that upon the Fete Napoleon itself the" difficulty"of the moment should be evaded ! The EMPEROR giving no formal reception to the Corps Diplomatique ; and in this manner avoiding the perilous necessity that might otherwise have elicited from him an expression of opinion upon the aspect of affairs among the Euro pean Sovereigns. Whether the Marquis PEPOLI, but just passing through Paris from Turin, has been the bearer to NAPOLEON from VICTOR EMMANUEL of any refe rence, either direct or in direct, to the newly developed phase of the Italian Difficulty may of course be doubted. But the probabilities are that he has — that the arrival of the Italian Minister at the Court s t he Tuileries, apropos to the Fete Napoleon, 7Z:4mo:kbatael:thing more than mere idle compliment. of this y even of a mere complimentary visit be enhanced t such a juncture, would of course, 0 circum........_,.uce of the Marquis PEPGLI, from the Il ls relati ons hip to the Princ e AfultAT, that tolua 4 t:1 his who has att eye askance all this while to the possibility of taking possession some fine day, by a hop, skip, and a jump, of the Neapolitan throne. All the Pre tenders we may be certain are, at this transition period, on the alert, even MuRAT, even FRANCIS IL, even the Duke of MODENA, and the younger Grand-Duke of TUSCANY. And much likelihood they have, to be sure, of realising their wishes ! Not the least significant token of the feebleness of their cause being, that they look, all of them, less than ever to the Italian People and more than ever to the French EMPRROR. If the Italian People —it is remembered by one and all—have pronounced their opinion in favour of any one solution of the Italian problem they have done so in favour of its solution by Unification. If the French Emperor, on his part, has favoured any scheme, directed to the same end. more particu larly than another, it has certainly not been the scheme of an Italian kingdom one and indivisible. It has rather been the exactly opposite scheme of a nicely balanced Confederation of Italian King doms and Principalities. It is the remembrance of this that enhances the wonder caused throughout the population of Italy and Sicily by the enigmati cal rupture between the Turin Government and GARIBALDI. It is the recollection of it that turns every Italian Pretender's eye—not to Italy but— to the Tuileries. And meanwhile NAPOLEON re mains inscrutable and taciturn ! Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL has followed up his pam phlet—" Our Fleet of the Future"—by a vigorous correspondence in a morning contemporary. Mr. E. J. REID, on the part of the Admiralty and the Duke of SOMERSET, has volunteered a defence of the Duke's administration, under which he is carry ing out his own theory of iron shipbuilding. The main charge against the Duke is that, since he has been in office, he has spent twelve millions of money and not given us a navy. That we have only two vessels of high seagoing qualities—and two tubs. The Warrior and the Black Prince fast and good ships—the Defence and Resistance bad and slow. The result is that the twelve millions are spent and we have no fleet: The result might have been that for the money spent we could have had a fleet of twenty Warriors. This seems a melancholy fact for us poor taxpayers, if fact it be. How does Mr. REID meet it ? First, he says we are about to have a fleet of six Warriors—fast and good ships. Secondly. we are about to have a fleet of nine vessels—smaller and slow. The fast and good cannot be completed before 1864 ; the in ferior and slow we know not when, possibly by the same date. As therefore at least two years more will be required to complete these ships, the Duke will, then, have spent eight millions more. Mr. RUSSELL therefore returns to the charge, and proves that, according to Mr. REID'S state ments, the result will be a yet heavier loss than was at first asserted. The value of the fast and powerful fleet of six, and of the slow and inferior fleet of nine, is at the outside three millions each. The account will therefore stand thus. The duke's expenditure in the five years to 1864 will be twenty millions. The two fleets will be worth six millions. The Income-tax payers (for on them it is that all superfluous charges fall) will therefore have paid his Grace FOURTEEN MILLIONS, for which they will have received nothing at all in the shape of a more effective fleet. Such does, after all Mr. REID has said, appear to be the state of the case, substantially, as left by Mr. REID'S letter to-day. Such loose statements, as that the enormity of the charge carries its own refutation, will not do. It will leave us with only the six good and nine inferior vessels—it as cer tainly might have left us with a fleet of FORTY WARRIORS. The difference between these two fleets is the measure of the Admiralty's inefficiency. We do not mean to attack the duke personally. He and his board are much like those who have gone be fore them. That however is their real delinquency. They are, thus, at this time, when we are paying SETENTY MILLIONS sterling, including an enormous income tax, solely that we may have the de fences Lord PALMERSTON demands when we ask for bread giving us a stone. They are worthy successors of the Admiralty Boards, which went on building sailing vessels when the French built steamers ; paddle box vessels when the French built screws ; wooden slaughter-houses when the French were building shot proof iron-sides. It is wonder ful we have not become disgusted with defence al together, and given up in despair. Happily the naval instincts of the country are very strong, or our naval lords before this time, would have sick ened us of shipbuilding.

HODGES' FIRE OBSERVATORY AT THE DISTIL LERY, LAMBETH.-A short time since the inhabitants of Lambeth and the surrounding districts presented Mr. Frederick Hodges, of the distillery, Lambeth, with a very useful and handsome fire-engine, designed by Signor Cas sentini, and built by Merryweather and Sons, of Long-acre, and which is now an object of great attraction at the Inter national Exhibition. Mr. Hodges, in return for this testi monial, determined upon presenting something useful in return. Consequently, he conferred with Mr. C. B. King, engineer of the distillery, and it was finally agreed to have erected at Mr. Hodges' expense a fire observatory, frcm the top of which the locality of a fire could be at once seen, and thus enable the engines to reach the scene of conflag ration much sooner than before. Mr. C. B. King, having drawn out the design of the observatory, it was entrusted to Messrs. Lewis and Stockwell, of the Barking-road, to make. It is constructed in lengths of 48ft. each to a height of 130 ft., and at the top is a balcony, which is capable of holding six persons, from which observations of fires in any part of London, or even miles distant, -tan be made. It will no doubt be of the greatest utility, and avoid much needless loss of time in ascertaining the locality of a dis tant fire. DREP SEA FISHING.—Mr. Dempster, who, as the Editor of the Northern Ensign says, " continues affected by the deep-sea fishing-phobia," has just written to us a long letter on that subject, in which he says : " The way the fisheries are conducted and carried on in this country by small open boats is discreditable to our fame as a great maritime nation. Two-thirds of the whole of the fishermen belonging to Great Britain are supplied with nothing else but open yawls and cobles to pursue their calling, The results of such fisheries are, most of the fish caught inshore by these insecure and unseaworthy bad weather boats, are fish either full of spawn, fish that have just spawned, or young fish fry that are immature, green, and tasteless." Mr. Dempster continues to urge that all fishermen ought to be supplied with strong built decked welled vessels for deep-sea fishing, and capture fish during their filling time, as it is only then when fish are in their prime state and firm condition. Mr. Dempster argues as the cause for the backward state of our fisheries " the absence of u wholesale fish market everywhere else but at London, coupled with the fishermen's females acting as retail dealers; duties there is no necessity for them to per form, and which lesens the ambition of their men to rise in the scale of society." Mr. Dempster says :—" To urge fisheries and fish-market reform from Whitby, in York shire, to John o' Groats, in the north of Scotland, where there are no ether description of fishing vessels but open boats and cobles, is about as patriotic a work as any man can be employed on," and, taking the worst case he has found along the coast, for example, he says :—" So fallen and de , generate has many fishermen in the North become, parti cularly at Aberdeen, they have seldom as much money as purchase a new boat." To reform the fisheries, Mr.Demp ster urges " A general: wholesale, fish-marketing sys tem throughout the country by licensed salesmen," and the formation of companies tb supply the fishermen with decked welled vessels instead of open boats. AN ODD COINCIDENCE.—At the Sheriff's dinner at Carlisle, the other day, Mr. Hassell gave " The Mem' tiers for West Cumberland," concluding his eulogistic re marks by stating the singular coincidence that the ladies of both had, on the same day, brought them an increase to their families. (Laughter.) Captain Lowther returned thanks. As to the family increase alluded to, it had core to Mr. Wyndham and himself not only on the same day, but he believed its the Rune hoar, (Laughter.)

A reconnaissance in force has been made from General M'Clellan's army to Malvern Hill, White Oak, Swamp Bridge, and Newmarket, within ten miles of Richmond. At Malvern Hill two Confederate regiments and a battery were encountered, but they fled after a slight engagement, leaving 100 prisoners. At Newmarket two Confederate brigades were met, and the Federals retired. The Federals are camped at Malvern Hill ; but it is reported that a large force of Confederates is now moving to retake the position. INDIA.

ADMIRAL BOWLES has printed as a pamphlet, of 102 pages (Ridgway), the evidence which he gave last year before the Select Committee on the Board of Admiralty. Many who do not care to purchase an entire Blue-book, will like to see the opinions on the subject of one who speaks both from official and naval experience, when they may be had for a shilling. He has appended to the pamphlet his Bill of 1854 for a Naval Militia; two other docu ments are included —one, a letter of the gallant Admiral's to his First Lord, Lord Haddington, in September, 1844, at the time he was in office, on the defenceless state at that time of the country ; the other, included, indeed, in the letter, a remark able extract from a French paper, "Le Censeur," of the 6th of January, 1842, showing how a French Admiral in the Levant squadron had deliberately proposed to destroy the English squadron by taking it at a disadvantage, and complete the work by landing 30,000 men on the coast of Ireland. The letter was written after the alarm of war created by the Prichard affair at Tahiti, in which the French clergy used the politicians and the politicians the clergy, to force, between them, Popery on the con verts of Protestant missionaries, and a French Pro tectorate on a helpless, but perfectly independent Princess, who had not given to France the shade of the shadow of provocation. The Admiral's principal objects were to impress on the Committee the im portance of an independent, or at least highly placed authority, the most important part of whose functions should be to keep the Admiralty awake to the actual condition of the fleet. The Controller of the Navy should for this purpose, he thinks, have large powers, and a seat at the Board. He is also, of course, a strenuous advocate of a Naval Militia, even to the extent of a compulsory ballot. Nor will he admit that our present Naval Volun teers and Reserve are all that is needed for an emergency. THE MET.ROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The usual meeting of the board was held yester day ; Mr. John Thwaites presided for the first time since his recent illness. Mr. Francis Healey took his seat as one of the representatives of the parish of St. Pancras, in the place of Mr. Robert Eckett, deceased. A report was brought up from the Main Drainage Committee, stating that Messrs. Peto and Betts have withdrawn their tender for the construc tion of the Bermondsey branch of the Southern Low Level Sewer, and recommending that the tender of Messrs. John Aird and Son for the execution of the said works, for the sum of £107,000 be accepted, subject to the usual inquiries as to the responsibi lity of their sureties being satisfactory. The reso lution adopting the recommendation of the com mittee was, after some discussion, carried on a division. Mr. Newton moved, " That it be referred to the solicitor to report as to what means can be adopted to bind the persons whose tender may have been accepted by the board, either by altering the form of advertisement or requiring parties to sign an a greement Wh en any order shall be made ac• c epting a tender, or what course Gan be best a dopted to prevent parties from withdrawing after the acceptance of a tender; and that t h e solicitor have the assistance of counsel in drawing such instrument as may be found neces sary." Mr. Wilkinson i seconded the motion, and strongly condemned the coarse taken by Messrs. Peto and Bette, which had thrown additional cost of £lO,OOO upon the board for the execution of works for which they had accepted the contract. After a short :discussion, the motion was put and agreed to. The routine business was disposed of, and the board adjourned until the 26th of Sep tember. NEW ZEALAND. OUTBREAK OF THE NATIVES. Wt (Melbourne Argus) have been without so fre quent intercourse with New Zealand this, as for some months previously. This is principally owing to a decline in operations at the Otago goldfields, and to some interruption in the steam postal ar rangements. What little news we have, however, is important. Last month his Excellency Sir George Grey .left Auckland for Wellington and Nelson, and was to have visited Otago before his return to the seat of Government. Whilst absent a long-standing feud between certain tribes in the north broke out into open hostilities, of which the following is the best summarised account that has reached us : " The scene of confict is Waitomotomo, within 18 miles of Wangarie, in the Auckland district. " The chief Matiu having set up a claim of ownership to certain lands in Tirarau's block, in 1856, a dispute arose between them, which has con tinued up to the present time, but did not assume any very serious aspect until somewhere about the Ist of May, when Matiu went down on the land for the purpose of surveying it_ He at once commenced to build a pah on the block. Tirarau, on being in formed of this proceeding, went up to the block and took up a position in front of Matiu's encamp ment. They continued fronting each other for some time, while endeavours were being made by the re sident magistrate, Mr. Aubery Manihere, the native assessor, and the missionaries, to induce them to re tire to their respective settlements, and leave the final arrangement to the Government. This pro posal was acceded to by Tirarau and his party, but peremptorily refused by the other party ; and what made the matter worse was that Arama Kreke, one of the newly appointed native assessors, joined Matiu, and who, on being asked why he, a paid magistrate of the Queen, embroiled himself in this quarrel, replied, ' I don't come exactly to fight about the land ; I come to fight about old quarrels.' He is an earnest advocate of the war. From the remarks of Matiu and party it was seen that a pacific solution could not be come to, and a line was drawn between the two encampments, it being arranged that neither party should cross it except as a declaration of war. " On Friday, 16th May, some natives of Matiu's party crossed the line, were seen, and immediately fired on by Tirarau's people. This commenced the actual hostilities, and a battle ensued, in which five men were killed and a number wounded of Matiu's people, and three of Tirarau's were wounded. Since then, up to the 23d, there has been no actual fight ing, but the natives are posted fronting each other, ready at a moment's notice to renew the conflict, and watching each other with the utmost vigilance. At present the parties are pretty equally balanced. Tirarau has 200 men in his pahs, and Matiu had 180, but was receiving reinforcements. A number of the Hokianga and Bay natives have gone to the Kaipara battle-field and taken sides, and larger reinforcements are expected. Before taking up his position Matiu went to the settlement of He miora, and took away his entire property of horses, pigs, cattle, and household effects. Hamiora was a man noted as being an ally of Kawitti in Heke's war. On hearing of this robbery he at once started to Tiraru's pah, and on his arrival there took to his bed and died, as the natives say, ' through grief of the outrage.' This has greatly incensed Tirarau's people and others. " On the 23d Matiu, with from 200 to 300 men, started by a circuitous route to take up a position on the hill Pukiatua ; and Tirarau, with from 170 to 200 men, went to intereept him, seeing he must cross the line of the Wairua. A fight was expected to come off that day, but we learn that, owing to the illness of Tirarau, the battle was postponed. "Parties of armed men have been going through the British settlement of Wangarci to join Tiraran. On the 22d May a party of natives, on their way to join Tirarau, took two casks of power with them. " The most serious part of this very unpleasant business is to come. If the pretensions of Matiu be good, then all the land sold by Tirarau to the Government, and now in the hands of the resi dent settlers, has been illegally disposed of, and with the improvements must be paid for over again ; but at the time of sale no pretence to ownership was made by Matiu or any of his people. Sir George Grey has since written to these parties, and was expected back in Auckland, but the dispute had not been settled at our latest dates thence, although it had not assumed any aggravated features. Sir George retains his popularity with the peace party, but the war party still look on his policy with suspicion. Tiraraa is a great friend of the British, and although this outbreak is to be deplored, it does not seem likely that our forces will thereby be drawn into further hostilities with the natives. The natives refuse to sell the land to the British in the neigbourhood of Coromandel, where new gold fields are said to have been discovered in the pro vince of Auckland, and the search for gold in that district is consequenty limited. It was at no time, however, a very promising gold-field. No other news of importance from Auckland. FURTHER AND LATER NEWS. We received our Auckland files last evening to the 7th inst., and our Otago files to the 18th inst., but they do not materially alter what is given above, or add much to it. Sir George Grey has returned to Auckland, and there seems a fair prospect of the outbreak with the natives, referred to above, being amicably adjusted. The Sydney papers speak of a renewal of hostilities, but there seems to be some confusion of dates, this renewal being said to have occurred on the 29th of May, of which the New Zealander makes no men tion in its summary of June 7. There is a revival of the talk about the success of the Coromandel gold-fields, but we see nothing in the papers on the subject worth extracting. The Maoris had held their first ranunga, or parliament, as the New Zea lander ostentatiously calls it, and it is spoken of as likely to be of use. " F U N, " 0 13 E V I M y Y W EEK, NOTICE.

The Foresters' great excursion will be held on Tues day, and as this year, combined with it, there is a display of the great fountains, and Blondin has uniertaken a special performance, closing by wheel ing a Forester along the rope over the fountains, an extraordinary assemblage of persons is likely to re sult. In the last three years the numbers at this great holiday have on the average considerably ex ceeded sixty thousand. The provincial Foresters brought to London for the International Exhibition, with the growing attractions of the occasion, and the additional interest thrown into it by the extra amusements provided, will, it is anticipated, swell the numbers this year to close upon a hundred thousand. Enormous as the number will be there is ample room in the Palace and grounds for them, and as the railway authorities are making preparations to carry an unusual concourse of visitors, the sight alone of the assembled tens of thousands, a large proportion of which will be dressed in the uniform of the craft, moving through the grounds and on the terraces in procession, accompanied by their various bands of music and scores of banners and flags, will be unusually gay. A Foresters' day at the Crystal Palace is one of the great sights of the great metropolis. The terrace gardens are now in their prime; the hundreds of flower beds are radiant with the most brilliant colours, and at no former period have they presented a more gorgeous appearance. As indicative of the popularity enjoyed by the Palace, it may be stated that nearly seven hundred thou sand persons have visited during the past two months ; of these, 103,128 were present last week. It has been calculated that a very large propor tion of these have either never seen the Crystal Palace, or know it only as it appeared in Hyde Park in 1851.

MESSINA, AUGUST 7. There can be little doubt that the Government has come at last to a resolution how to deal with the Garibaldimq movement. The King's proclamation of the 3d inst. watl the precursor which announced this resolution. It put an end to all those vague surmises and suppositions to which the half-measures hitherto adopted had given rise. Not only are all illusions about a secret co-operation between the Government and Garibaldi dispeLled by it, but the whole movement is expressly disavowed, and any call to war against Rome which does not proceed from the King is described as rebellion and the authors of such a call are made responsible for the consequences. Nor did the deeds remain beuini the words. The first to feel the effect of this were the 80 Garibaldians from Leg horn, my late fellow passengers on board the General Ab batucci. Arrived at Palermo they were received with more inhospitality than at Naples. They were told that not only would they not be allowed to land, but they would be sent back to Leghorn under arrest. When the news of this speead in the town it occasioned considerable excitement ; scene were for a great demonstration, others for protests, others for stronger measures. At last it was decided to send a de putation to the new Prefect, General Cugia, who had arriv ed the day before. The commission was composed of severel superior' officers of the National Guard, and the members o the different political societies of the place. They expressed to the Prefect the illegality of stopping Italian citizens from moving about freely now, when Parliament has abolished the passport system all over the kingdom. But the reply was, that he had his instructions, from which he could not depart, and the young men were accordingly sent back, with the exception of six who found means to :mike their escape and went off to the camp. But not only are those who arrive at Palermo sent back, but orders have been issued everywhere to stop the depar ture of these young men for Palermo. Thus a number wanted to go from here, but, not being able to go in the regular Italian steamer, they asked for a passage from Capt. M'Clintock, of H.M.S. Doris, which lett two days ago, The captain's reply was that he could not take them without an order from the consul, which was, of course, refused. On the same day about 500 made au agreement at Leghorn with the captain of one of the English trading steamers to take them to Palermo at £1 a head, but when the time of departure came the authorities stepped in, and, to the great disgust of the captain, stopped the pro ceedings. But these are not the only measures taken to prevent the movement from spreading. One brigade has been sent to Palermo, and another is expected here. A portion of the garrison has been quartered in one of the convents of the town, opposite the municipal palace. Beeßles this, precau tions have been taken for the fortress itself. For the last three nights the drawbridges have been up and several guns have been placed in the embrasures looking tower& the esplanade. Masons are at work to repair the damage done by the bombardment, and some of the embrasures towards the Marina are likewise provided with cannon. The Messinese, to whose eyes the fortress turned against the town was always a most unpleasant sight, are all up at these precautionary measures, and talk of protests and do monstrations. They don't yet see that having members in the Italian Parliament it is through them that any remon strances can be most effectually made. Messina has caught up the cry of "Roma eon Garibaldi." The evening concerts in the Villa Reale give the opportu nity to raise it. Of course no other beginning is allowed but Garibaldi's hymn, and teen comes the cry "Andrew, a Roma e Venezia—con chi ? Con Garibaldi" shouts the crowd, and tumultuous applause follows. The last news from Palermo speaks of a demonstration which took place on the 9th, in consequence of some troops being sent on the track of Garibaldi. The shops were shut and the populace went with flags to the Piazza Reale, shouting, " Viva Garibaldi !" and "Roma o Norte !" The result was that a telegram was sent after the troops to make them return. There is a project of another demon stration against the Prefect Cugia. The order of the day which I send leaves no doubt that a camp has been formed at Ficuzeo, on the road to Cor leone, in the heart of the mountains to the south of F,s lermo. With the exception of a few officers from the Northern prcvinces, the whole camp consists of Sicilians, who rather enjoy camping out at this tinie of year. But with the new proclamation of the King, awl the approval of it 1:y Parliament, steps will no doubt be teken to put an end to it. The difficulty is to get there, or rather to get at the volunteers in that wild mountainous country in the heart of Sicily. The whole summer may be spent ;search ing for them. Garibaldi's own movements are as uncertain as over. Until yesterday he was expected at Catania, and now h 0 19 expected at Barcellona, near Milazzo. This mystery seems calculated on both sides, Government wishing to keep do , re the agitation, and the General to work as usual by surpris e' What will be the upshot of all this ? It is difficult to sa There is no doubt that France is decided to oppose any sit tempt on Rome. All along the coast of the Pontifical terri tory we were escorted by French men-of-war, who neve r lost sight of us for an instant. A great portion of the French troops have been sent to Civita Vecchia and Porto d'Anuio , as well as along the Papal frontier. On the other hand, tith e late resolutions of the Italian Government seem likewise to point to strong remonstrances on the part of France, whip ll could not be disregarded. These measures, there is no doubt, produced some effect, at any rate, on this part of the island. People, judging from precedents, could not persuade themselves that Gari baldi acted on his own responsibility, and was not acting in secret agreement with the King. The proclamation dis pelled these illusions, and the more timid begin to reflect' However, there is no knowing what the effect of Ciaribaldr presence might be. In the meantime one can't help fearing that the Govern' ment is by no means aware of the great help it might deriv e from Garibaldi. It was the fear of what he might do w hick led to the entry of the Northern troops into the Romagn a ' Why should not the same cause lead to Rome likewise ? But then we had Cavour, and he is no more. What iS doing now reminds one of children who have a sharp sword. in their hands ; they trifle with it and cut their fingers, anti in their terror they try to blunt the edge of it, if not to break it altogether. Auo. 9 . Things are becoming more and more complicated. Yes terday there seemed a chance—though distant, still a chance —of some understanding being brought about betwee o Garibaldi and the Government. The rumour wa s tho Mordidi and Cadolini, both of them stanch adherents of th e General and members of Parliament, are to be sent on mission to their old chief. To-day, on the contrary, /i t ; have news from Palermo of a conflict between a body Garibaldians and a detachment of soldiers and Carabivier i • One of the bodies of Garibaldians was collected at Car Termini, a place about one-third of the road along the sew' coast between Palermo and Messina. It was eneampei militarily, and a body of troops and Carabinieri Were observ` ing its attitude and movements. On the sth the or der cam e for the Garibaldians to move eastward, and Colonel 13eil ti ' vegna, who commands them, went with the main bodY, leaving a picket of forty or fifty men as a rear - g u ' ard. When these were about to start likewise, two men of regular troops came over and joined the Garibaldians. detachment of troops and a dozen Carabinieri were selr i after them to bring them back. Their demand for the fugitives being refused, they threatened to take them Di force, on which one of the Garibaldian officers, drawing revolver, warned them against any such violent proceeding' On this it is stated that the Carabinieri fired ; at any ra ter a collision took place, in which six Carabinieri and soldier! and two Garibaldians were killed, besides several woun ds en both sides. At last Major Cairoli, one of the old atari baldini, threw himself between the combatants and see' ceeded in restoring peace. But in the meantime the ta re fugitives who had been the cause of the affray had found' means to hasten on and join the main body. On the news of the affair spreading at Palermo, a depw tation went to have explanations from General Cugia, said that the conflict had taken place without orders, sin "" that ha would do anything to avoid civil war, but tha t must make the laws respected. The Garibaldian column from Termini seems not ti le only one in movement. There are said to be two otlier7 one of which goes by the mainroad across the island, el i . the other by Girgenti and the southern coast. Garibt precedes the central one, and was on the 7th at Vallelnuc t4 which is about twenty miles from Caltanisetta, in the 0" centre of the island. Everywhere the youths of the col 0; try are leaving their avocations and following him, so ti1„:6.1 by the time he arrives at Catania it is expected that he W., have quite 10,000 men. Those who started from the car e in the mountain are armed. There can be little doubt that the Government h as made preparations for all eventualities. Several Frel o ; steamers have been hired to convey troops W th e island, and scarcely a day passes without some mil l % of troops or men-of-war. Yester da y two battali°l passed through here on their way to Cato to-day a whole regiment came in and a frigate. All a t i t looks like earnest, but I still believe that the Goverare ell ° will do everything to avoid a conflic t. Strengthene d as al G o vernment is bythe a pproval of the Ki ng ' s proclama ti l in Parliament, it is no doubt in its strict right to proven any individual, ho wever g re at and well-deserving, deny usurping an initiative which belongs to the Goverulueiti alone, but a mere policy of repression, even if suceessfec; will not avert the danger.
