An important meeting of the Middle-level Com missioners was held yesterday at the George Hotel, Chateris, in the Isle of Ely, at which there was the fullest attendance that was ever remembered in con nection with the Middle Level. Edward Fellowes, Esq., of. Ramsay Abbey, was elected chairman of the commission for the ensu ing year, on the motion of Mr. Chilvers, which was seconded by Mr. Heathoote. Mr. FELLOWES, M.P., accepted this appointment with considerable gratitude as the decision of a large meeting. On looking back at the occurrences of the last few months, it was impossible but to feel that the appointment had been and might be again at tended with considerable responsibility, but he would not shrink from trouble and responsibility. (Cheers.) Alluding to the works rendered neces sary by the late inundations, he said that a few months ago considerable anxiety was felt with re ference to the possibility of getting shut off ,the Middle-level water during the coming winter. The engineers stated as their opinion that the syphons might be got to work early enough to relieve the district before the winter. This had been accomplished to some extent, for a portion of them were fixed and had been tried with complete success. On the previous day the committee went and saw the syphons at work, and to their gratification they saw eleven at work ; and from the way in which they discharged the water he felt perfectly justified in believing that for the coming winter the Middle Level was safe from in undation. They might therefore with perfect safety pursue their agricultural avocations. He was led to anticipate that in the course of another month the whole of the syphons would be fixed in position, and that all impediments which at present existed would be removed out of the way, and they would freely discharge the water. The hon. gentleman went on to remark on the necessity of electing a new board, under the act of Parliament of last ses sion, which board could not consist of more than 16 members. As they had done him the honour of showing their appreciation of his efforts in the past by re-electing him as their chairman, he hoped they would give him as coadjutors some useful and prac tical men. REPORT OF THE INUNDATION COMMITTEE. The Clerk read the report of the special commit tee appointed to take steps to repair the mischief of May last, from which it appeared that the engineers estimated the expense of fixing 16 syphons atEl3,OOO or £14,000 ; 11 of them were fixed, and five more would be so by the end of the month. They had been tested three times, viz., on Sept. 30, Oct. 18, and Oct. 25. On the first occasion they lowered the water 2 feet throughout the level.—Adopted. ENGINEERS' REPORT. The Engineers' report, which was dated Oct. 25, stated that nine syphons were fixed, and when tested on Oct. 18, on the three tides, they had low ered the water 7 feet 6 inches between the doors at Wellcreek and the syphon dam. They hoped the whole of them would be fixed by the latter end of the month of November. The breach was filled up and the banks were being repaired. They esti mated that whole expense that would have te. . be incurred to put the drainage on a safe footing at £62,500. The engineers who signed the report were Mr. John Hawkshaw and Mr. Thomas Harri son.,-=Adopted. ELECTION OF THE NEW BOARD. Various matters of a routine character having been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the meet ing to the necessity that existed for them now to appoint a new board, under the act of last session. As the boardcould only consist of 15 members, it was advisable that there should be a fair division of the level, so that all parts of the country should be fairly represented. The Middle Level contained 113,126 acres, and therefore there would be one member of the board to every 7,000 acres, and it was therefore proposed to divide the level into six divisions, with representatives for each division ac cording to acreage. The following gentlemen were elected members of the first board :—Messrs. Fellowes, Heathcote, Wells, M. Lawrence, D. Martin, Major Fryer, C. Tebbutt, A. Ruston, C. Sheppherson, I. Culledge, J. Brown, T. Richards, C. Townley, H. Wooll, and C. Wool. It was agreed that powers be taken for borrow. ing on mortgage, at 4t, per cent. interest, the sum of £52,000, under the provision of their act of 1844. The CHAIRMAN expressed a hope that they would be able to do without going to parliament for powers to raise more money during the next session. The bonds were executed for £32,000, £20,000 of it be ing supplied by Mr. Fellowes, M.P. In consequence of it being possible under the new act to abolish some and consolidate other offices un der, the board, it was agreed that notices should be given to all the officers at Lady-day next. After the transaction of some other business a vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Fellowes, on the motion of Mr. Councillor PRYME, seconded by the Rev. A.

The council of the Liverpool Chamber of Com merce had a long and animated discussion on the il this subject on Wednesday, in connection withlan Tonawanda recent seizure and destruction of theeiner and Manchester by the Confederate tea Ala bama. The commercial law committee of the cham ber, to whom the subject had betli re mitted for nia tion a very consideration, brought up for coo'' ! r s t the acts in strong resolution, protesting g o f in i n ternational question as a flagrant violation en t to obtain law, and calling upon the Gov ernor the members redress.

It was one peculiarly of internation a l law, and he thought the chamber was therefore not called upon specially to interfere in the matter. If the Alabama had fired upon the Manchester and sunk her, there could have been no claim sustaihed on the part of neu trals. Mr. S. RATIEBONE informed the chamber that his film had suffered by the seizure and destruction of the Manchester, and had communicated with the Foreign -office on the subject. _ . After further discussion the resolution of the commercial law committee was considerably modi • fled, in fact reduced to a motion to request that the opinion of the Government upon the position and means of redress of the owners of British property which had been destroyed under the circumstances might be made known to the chamber.

H eywood, secretary o f th e Cotton Supply As soc i at i on at Manchester Foreign-office, Nov. 5. Sir,—l am directed by Earl Russell to state to you, for the information of the Manchester Cotton Supply Associa tion, that his lordship has received a report from the United States to the following effect, viz. :—That, at the commence ment of the civil war, the whole amount of cotton in the South was about 4,200,000 bales ; that about 1,000,000 bales are supposed to have been destroyed, and that another 1,000,000 will have been irreparably injured from not having been properly ginned, baled, and stored, and that conse quently, when allowance is made for the small portion which by one means or other has found its way into the market, the quantity that would be forthcoming if the ports were to be opened immediately would not exceed 2,000,000 bales. As regards the crop of 1862, which is not yet picked, it is not estimated at more than one million of bales, and even this small amount will probably be so reduced from the dif ficulty of obtaining labour for picking, and hemp, and other necessary material for, baling and storing, that the supply for the market will be trifling. As regards hemp, however, it appears.that a good deal is to be obtained from the Blue Grass Region of Kentucky. It is stated that, if the war should continue, the land in 1863 will be cultivated for corn and not for cotton, and that under any circumstance it would take the cultivators of cotton some time to recover from the state of disorganisation into which that cultivation has been thrown.—l am, sir, your ..most obedient humble servant, G. HAMMOND, G. R. Heywood, Esq., Manchester Cotton Association. Now Ooloono, Oct. 1. I have been fa the cotton business upwards of 16 years, both as a raiser and seller. I understand all about the cul tivation of the plant—ginning, pressing, and preparing it for market, and can classify it. When this miserable contest began, I had upwards of one hundred thousand dollars loaned out to the cotton planters, as bans predicted on the crop of 1861. This I consider a total loss. The planters refuse to acknowledge any interest on claims, and it will not be long before they will repudiate both principal and interest, I am therefore anxious to leave a country in which there is no security either for life or property. I now make you the same offer I made to Lord Russell and Sir Vharles Wood. Having lost a handsome competency here, I cannot afford to go out as an adventurer ; but if I am guaranteed an appointment such as will enable me to main tain my family in a respectable position, I promise I will acdoclunrestsreyd to me, care of y than I expect in r d e o turn mor . e fo A r th • f her British Majesty's Consul, New, Orle ans, will have c e o m b e m n e u fi ni c o al i o m n prompt attention. I left Mississippi ten days since. The cotton crop is very inferior, and not over one-third of the usual quantity of land was planted. The planters have not had sufficient bagging and rope to wrap up the crop of 1861, and the cotton is rotting in the woods. It was hauled out from the gins in the seed, and a large portion is very imperfectly sheltered. The Government at Richmond are endeavouring to buy the cotton, giving in exchange the bonds of the Government, bearing 8 per cent. interest. The security don't meet with much favour by the planters. One thing, you need not look for , any cotton from this country for some years to come. This war has hardly begun, and, when I assert this, I judge from observations carefully made, but which I cannot communicate for the present. The Chairman Cotton Supply Association, ' Manchester• THE DISTRESS IN LAN CASHIAE. The Bishop of Oxford has published the follow ing letter to the Archdeacons of the diocese, recom mending a diocesan collection for the distressed operatives in Lancashire : " Cuddesden, Nov. 5. My dear Mr. Archdeacon, —May I request you to let the clergy of your archdeaconry know that I recommend them to bring the needs of our distressed brethren in the manufac turing districts before their parishioners, and to make collec tions for them in their churches ? In order to make the appeal as simultaneous as possible, I would suggest to those to whom it would not be inconvenient to make their collec tions on Christmas 41,ay—a day on which our 'thankfulness for "our blessed Lord'i Nativity, and our own home and family blessings, may well move us to liberality towards our brethren suffering, through no fault of their own, from hunger, cold, and nakedness. To any to whom Christmas day might be an inconvenient time, I would suggest, in stead of it, one of the Sundays in Advent. The sums u 0u...t.. ! T ho romitiod to the Manehostior Relief coinruittee, either through a London banker or through dick Rural Dean; but in either ease the amount of the colledtion should be stated to the Itural Dean, that the total amount collected through .the diocese may be ascertained. " I am, my dear Mr. Archdeacon, your faithful friend and brother, " S. OXON." THE MANSION-HOUSE COMMITTEE. Yesterday and on Wednesday together a sum amounting in the whole to £6,300 flowed into the Mansion-house for the Relief Fund. Within the last few days there has been a marked increase in the subscriptions, and for the present the Long Parlour of the Lord Mayor's residence has been converted into a kind of bank. On the other hand, large quantities of cast-off garments, blankets, and flannel keep pouririg into the depot established by the committee at Bridewell Hospital, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, from day to day. Yesterday 28 large bales of clothing, properly sorted for men, women, and children, were despatched from the depot to various places in the distressed districts, to which they are conveyed, free of cost, by the London and North- Western Railway C - mnPany—namely to Blackburn, 7 bales; Wigan, 6 ; Stock_ ort, 6; Heaton Norris, Stockport, 5; and Glossop, 4. RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MAP * OF 1V0.R711 AMERICA. The map of North A mer i e jtlas (From the .Mcchange.) • been reconstructed on a variety of plans by sev era l i ngen i ous E ng li s h writers during the past few months ; but few of the speculations advanced are likely to come into ac tual being. The subject has not escaped the atten tion of AmericanS themselves ; hut, so far, we have met with but one theory of readjustment which has been openly discussed. Thcugh, when first broaehed, it was denounced in violent langusge by the majority of Northern newspapers, there were some which treated it very mildly; whilst the Southern democrats pronounced it "just the thing." The scheme, which took its rise in Virginia, and was first promulgated officially by Governor Letcher, just before the inauguration of President Lincoln, is to the effect that the Confeddricy be reconstructed without the New England States, which States, the Southerners say, have caused all the troubles of the country, and with which alone, of all the Free States, the South has any reason to be dissatisfied. The project was revived just after the battle of Manassas, and became known in the North in the form of a report that when Jefferson Davis had crossed over with the Confederate army into Maryland, and taken possession of Washington, be would issue a proclamation to all the States of the Union, except those of New England, to appoint delegates to meet and reconstruct the Confederacy, wiLhurct what is termed the fanatical North-Eastern section, comprising. Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. There are several circumstances which give coun tenance to this scheme—such, for instance, as the recent offer of a separate treaty to the Western States by the Southern Confederacy; the appre hended opposition that will be met by the Federal tax-collectors when they commence their round ; and, above all, the identity of Southern and Western industrial interests—both communities being agri cultural and free trade, whilst the, Eastern States • are mainly manufacturing and protectionist, Be sides this, the South consumes a much larger por tion of Western produce (food ansl live stock) than does the East ; and the principal outlet and cheapest route for the bulky products of the West is down the Mississippi and its tributaries, through the Slave States, to New Orleans. Then, again, the Southern planters finding it to pay better to grow cotton than to raise corn and live stock, are willing customers of the North-west, because the latter articles can be purchased there at a cheaper rate than they can be produced in the South. With the manufactures of the East, however, the case is the reverse, for protection compels both the Southern planter and the Western farmer to pay more for their clothing and machinery than the same articles could be bought for in Europe.

But if the East adhered to its protective policy, the bonds of friendship would shortly•be sundered by a con flict of interests, and the West would " secede" and establish a separate republic. If the agricultural States could persuade Pennsylvania and New Jer ley to join. theth, amnion would be hastened. This is not improbable, for the majority of the people of . Pennsylvania would rather ally themselves with the West than with New England, and .we are not sure that the ' citizens of New York would not do the same. As the ,Western States, by separating from the Eastern ones, would deprive themselves of all communication with the Atlantic seaboard, save through a foreign country, we may conclude that they will bear with a considerable amount of incon venience before they will withdraw from the Northern Confederacy, unless, as we have hinted above, they could carry one or more of the Atlantic States along with them. Should this take place, the Pacific States would doubtless set up on their own account, and form a fourth confederacy. The intermediate territories, or present embryo States, would perhaps be equally divided between the Western and Pacific republics ; at least it would seem that such a disposition would be more con ducive to their material interests than to isolate themselves in the middle of the continent.

Yesterday another deputation of between 70 and 80 of the leading shareholders in this line, representing about one million and a half of stock, met the directors at the Euston Station—Mr. R. Moon, chairman of the board, presiding. The views of the deputation were fully stated and discussed, embracing almost every question connected with the finan cial position, general policy, and management of the under taking, the principal allegations being to the effect that the present condition and future prospects of the company were such as to demand the serious consideration of the share holders, and condemning the system of unprofitable exten sions and improvident purchases, leases and guarantees of competing companies, by which capital had become wasted and losses and liabilities incurred, awl also the existing centralised system of management, suggesting the partition of the undertaking into sections to be superintended by local boards and managers. After a long discussion upon all these questions, the meeting expressed its opinion by a majority in favour of the present policy of the directors and against the proposed adoption of a sectional system of ma nagement and working. WELLINGTON AND DRAYTON. The first ordinary meeting of this company was -held at Great Malvern on Tuesday—Mr. W. Fenton in the chair. The report congratulated the proprietors on obtaining the act for making a railway from Wellington to Drayton, and expressed regret at the rejection of the portion of the scheme between Nantwich and Northwich, which was intended to form a more direct communication between Wellington and Manchester. The advantages of the agreement between the Wellingten and Drayton Company and the Nantwich and Market Drayton Company were adverted to, and it was stated that a link of only Id miles to the Cheshir3 Midland, at Northwich, was wanting to compl to the direct commu nication with Manchester. The propriety of an application to Parliament for completing this route was considered and agreed to. moOunsltyhaedmopotteioin. of the CHAIRMAN, the report was unani- Mr. Wood, the accountant of the Great Western, and Mr. Williams, the accountant of the West Midland, were elected auditors of the company, and Mr. G. Graham was elected secretary. The proceedings terminated with a vote of tnanks to the chairman. NEW BRUNSWICK AND CANADA. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Whitehall, Westminster—Mr. F. Edwards in the chair. The SBCRUTARY read the notice convening the meeting, which was for the purpose of altering a financial resolution passed at the last meeting, by omitting the words " by tem porary loans." The CHAllaux stated that since the notice was issued some of the shareholders and bondholders had generously given the directors assistance in respect to the financial po sition of the company. The directors had gladly availed themselves of their co-operation, and he would call upon Mr. Field, who he believed intended to propose a resolution for the appointment of a committee to confer with the direc tors on the financial position of the company, and to take the necessary steps for placing the company in the position they all so much de s i re d. _ _ _ Mr. J. FIELD said that for some time past the attention of the shareholders had been directed to the possibility of doing something to place the company in a position to be• neflt by the proposed intercolonial railway, so as to form some portion of that project, but their expectations in that respect had not been fulfilled. In order to do what was requisite, he thought it desirable to appoint a committee who should act with the directors in carrying out the necessary measures. He believed that such a committee would materially strengthen the direction, and concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That it is expedient that a .committee of co operation, composed of shareholders and bondholders, be appointed to join the directors in bringing before the Imperial provincial Government the claims of this company to form a portion of the proposed international railway, and to devise means for discharging the outstanding liabilities, and for provid ing additional rolling stock, and otherwise promoting the immediate development of the traffic; and that such com mittee be composed of Mr.Wickham, Mr. Blyth, Mr. Tegg, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Beecroft, Mr. J.

Mr. CONYEEARE suggested that thethe resolution intended Mr. Field's • ted a m t l t e h r e o ra f an dfeoertmin,gmotion amendment.

Although deluges of rain have fallen during the month, causing damaging floods, and much retard ing the wheat sowing on the heavy soils, the teni- perature generally has been high for the season, and vegetables has made rapid progress. The pastures never presented a more verdant appearance in autumn, and the growth of the root crop has been truly surprising. Up to the middle of September it was considered that the turnip crop could never at tain more than two-thirds of an average, but so rapid has been the growth of the backward sown, that a full crop is now calculated upon,which with a luxuriant after-growth of grasses, together with a a full crop of hay, has filled the country with keep for every kind of cattle. This operating in con junction with a short supply, has raised the price of sheep very materially at all the later fairs, to the great satisfaction of those dealers who purchased at the comparatively cheap fairs held early in the sea son. The farther the thrashing season advances, the more is the deficiency of the wheat crop con firmed. Although of superior quality,the quantity in many localities is yet declared not to exceed the yield of the memorably bad year of 1860 ; and the great fall in price leaves the farmer, who depends chiefly on the returns of his own crop,in a very un satisfactory position ; and it is quite clear that the surplus left for himself, after discharging his rent and tithe, and paying hislabour, is but veil small. The improved system of cultivation now become general involves a much greater outlay than for merly, and the rent of the country within the last few years has advanced from 15 to 25 per cent. arising first from the temporary high prices prevail ing during the Crimean war, aided by competition for farms consequent thereon, and the amateur pro pensity of indulging in farming pursuits which has sprung up amongst the trading and commercial classes, who have a little spare cash, and who are content with a much smaller percent.:ge of profits than is sufficient to maintain the farmer, whose sole dependence is on the land he cultivates. The same elbowing and jostling for a living is now quite evi dent in the agricultural world, as in the different departments of trade, to the certain advantage of the non-producing classes at the expense of the struggling producer. The shortness of cash is fully shown in the unsa ti s f actory resu l ts o f the agricul tural sales which h ave t a k en place during the eoni autumn. Agricultur a l implements are.eLet ion plete drug, and horses go a-begging at bei"g of full 20 pe r cen t. ; th e on ly thing selling le sheep and cattl e , with which foreigne rs a hate ab it is - n s to t remains this one source of remuneration has successfully to compete with us, and forte been rather the British farmer.

The screw corvette Pylades, 21, 350 horse power, fitting at Chatham, is out of the hands of the rig gers, and will be completed, and ready to be un docked in about a fortnight, when another fine cor vette will be at the disposal of the Admiralty for immediate commission. The Himalaya screw troopship, Capt. E. Lacy, was undocked at Portsmouth yesterday, tempora rily, and berthed alongside the dockyard. The Resistance, 16, iron ram, Capt. Chamberlain, was docked yesterday at Portsmouth in the large dock, to carry out repairs to her Kingston valves. The Hero, 89, screw line-of-battle ship, Capt. A.

She arrived at the French settlement of Goree on Sept. 21, left again on' the 24th, experienced a gale on her passage thence to Lisbon, where she arrived on Oct. 16, left the Tagus on Oct. 24, on Oct. 29 called at Vigo, and sighted Ushant on Nev. 4. At 8 30 p.m., on coming up the West Channel by the Needles passage, the ship went ashore about a cable's length off Newtown harbour, Isle of Wight. She came off again at 11 30 p.m., at high water, without sustaining any serious damage, and brought up abreast of Hampstead for the night, the weather being at the time very thick and foggy. The gunboat Trinculo, 4 , L ieut. Creagh, tender to the flagship. Revenge, left Plymouth on Wednes day for Gibraltar. The screw steamsloop Rosario, ii, Commander S. Graham, from Sheerness for Jamaica, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday night. She embarked supernumeraries for ships on the West India station. A succession of trials and experiments of interest and importance to the naval service took place yes terday in Woolwich dockyard, by order of the Board of Admiralty, occupying upwards of four hours and a half, to test the relative merits of three rival port able ships' engine pumps. The Commodore Super intendent, Sir F. Nioolson, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Thornton, master and assist.-master shipwrights, and other officers of the yard, were in attendance. The first engine tried was that of Mr. Roberts, of Millwall, and manufactured by Messrs. Brown, Lennox, and Co. This was a double-action pillar pump, and was worked by four men, and afterwards by double that number, casting various jets of water, by a change of hose-pipes, directed horizon tally and vertically. It filled a tank containing 108 gallons of water in two minutes and 31 seconds, from one of the fitting basins adjoining the place of trial. The result was very satisfactory. The next trial was with Mr. Stone's, of Deptford, also a port able engine of similar dimensions, but pronounced superior in power and capacity in each of the tests, as to distance, height, and the time consumed in filling the tank. The third engine was that of Mr. Gossage, of the Admiralty, and manufactured by Mr. Stone, which anderwent the same series of trials as the two named above, and with a slight advan tage over that of Mr. Roberts. At the termination of the trials an opinion was pronounced by the in specting officers in favour of the engine supplied by Mr. Stone. They reserve to themselves the right of examining and measuring the diameter of each of the cylinders, which will be done this morning. Mr. Gossage's pump has been used in her Majesty's service for about 14 years. Mr. Stone's is also an old service pump ; and that of Mr. Roberts is sup plied to several of our ships of war. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—George Gilpin, master, to Phaeton ; Dr. T. A. Roe, assist.-surg., additional, to the Sutlej ; Dr. J. Simpson, acting assist.-surg., to the Trafalgar; Henry Gray (a), paymaster, to the Leopard; Henry A. C. Meeson, master's assist ant, to the Euryalus; W. J. Bullmore, master's assistant, to the Resistance ; E. B. Nettleton, clerk, to the Formidable; Sydney H. Scroggs, assistant clerk, to the Excellent ; and Gabriel Beer, assistant clerk, to the Leopard. 71-IE ARMY. By the appointment of Major-General W. H. Eden to the colonelcy of the 90th Light Infantry Regiment a major-general's good service pension is placed at the disposal of his Royal Highness the C o mmander-in-Chief. The colonelcy of the 76th Regiment of Foot has become vacant by the death of Gen. Jervois, which took place on Wednesday at Bath. The deceased, who had reached the advanced age of 80, had been in the service nearly 60 years. He received his first commission early in 1804 as ensign in the 89th Regiment, which he accompanied to Hanover in the following year. In 1810 .he was appointed to the staff of Lord Blayney, and accompanied him on the expedition to Malaga. He was slightly wounded in the attack on the fortress of Frangerola. In 1813 he was appointed to the staff of Sir G. Drummond, with whom he embarked for Canada, where during the operations of that and the following year he was present at almost all the actions fought with the American army. Gen. Jervois was appointed to the colonelcy of the 76th Foot in 1853, and in recog. nition of his services in the army had been created a Knight of the Order of the Guelphs of Hanover. The extensive range of buildings recently erected for the married non-commissioned officers and men attached to the first division of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, having been completed by Messrs. Naylor and Son, the builders, and handed over to the War Department, the married men belonging to the division have taken possession of their new quarters, in conformity with an order to that effect issued by Major-Gen. Eyre. Each married soldier is provided with a separate room, and in certain cases two rooms are allotted to a f a mily. The entire building is fireproof, and con structed with a due regard to the health and comfort of the inmates. Since its completion the erection has been inspected by the officials connected with the War Department, who have pronounced it to be one of the best buildings of its kind yet erected. A FRENCH . VISI7 TO GARIBALDI. The Turin correspondent of our esteemed contemporary Le Temps relates the following c onversation which he had with Garibaldi on the occasion of a recent visit to Spezzia, as he says, word for word :—" I am thankful to you," said Garibaldi, " for believing that there is no 0110 whose visit I would at this moment receive with more delight than that of a Frenchman. I should be strangely forgetful the French people were Itoh i s s e e an of the French history of fisughptsosfeor thathetliibterct y onl of d country, enem wh y er i Ler an tha Y t o c n o e un w try o may be. I would be sorry it should that it is through a paltry be considered in France feeling of national jealousy I have grieved to find my native province a French depart ment. I believe—or rather, lam certain—that, in future, we are to strive for mutual approximation ; frontiers are nothing ; all mankind have one common country—liberty. But to attain and secure universal liberty, every nationality must individually acquire the full possession and the un restricted exercise of that liberty ; and it is on this account that I have seen with sorrow the withdrawal of Nice from Italian unity. I would not wish it should be believed in France that, at any period of my life, I have desired to come in collision with the soldiers of France. I wish France could hear what I now say to you, and 1 ask of you to tell it at least to your friends." I have already, I replied, told it, actuated by an instinctive feeling which is founded on the nobleness of your character. But I will now tell it again still more authoritatively. We then talked of his health. I told him how happy I was that the fears entertained at Turin were exagge rated, or at least that his present state was so different from that which had given rise to them. (It did not in the least annoy him to speak of those fears. He either reads himself, or listens to others reading, a great number of newspapers; and hence he knows almost everything which is published regarding him.) He smiled the happy smile of invalids who catch the glimpse of a speedy cure. It is clear that he looks forward to such a cure ; that he has some kind of priensei.it went that it will take place. I took leave of h an im, b an r e gi u n a g l away, in my soul, a little of that confidentoce, d which his life hopefulness regarding the future of I c y' is so necessary.
