They admit all this was not accomplished with out a fearful sacrifice of life ; and though the loss in the battle of Saturday is stated to have been not more than 400 killed and 250 wounded, they acknowledge a total loss in all the fighting of 10,000 killed and wounded. The Canadian news is unimportant. A great meeting had been held in Montreal in aid of the distressed operatives in L , ncashire, and a sum of 8,000 dollars was subscribed in a few minutes. The comoaercial news has been entirely antici pated via Newfoundland. BRIDGE. e afternoon I was attacked by three strong Viedmentese columns, with artillery and cavalry. My politiOn was not tenable, being at the end of a valley. I was thus - obliged to fight while retreating, in order to take up a more favourable position about 800 metres to the right, where I awaited with firmness the approach of the enemy, I was forced to abandon the valises of my officers, and the property of my column, believing that the Piedmentese would have had it more at heart to come ar.td attack me with a force three times superior to mine, than to go and Pillage a rich convent occupied by some invalid monks; but on the contrary, after an ineffectual cannonade, these gentlemen began to pillage and burn that magnificent edi. flee. Among the papers found in the pillage was the letter sent no by 111. Caracciolo, of which I have just spoken. Judge of ty surprise on seeing it appear in this process. It was pretendet2 that this letter was found at Frisa, not at the moment of the perquisitten, where even the most trifling papers were seized, put nearly three days afterwards. This. letter, translated into Ihz.lian by order of the officers of jus tice, was r ea d i n pu bli c A udience. I was overwhelmed with surpris e by this proceeding. The commencement was correct, and like that of the original; but the second moiety was falsified, and increased by the addition of seven or eight lines which were not to be found in the original, so that a paper, very inoffensive in itself, had teen iveta morphosed into one of a criminal nature. I prot,tel against this false proceeding, and supported by the vice consul, who was present at all the sittings, I insist on a rectification.' Nevertheless, the Hon. M. Clausi, in his requisitoire, made use of this false translation, thus making it appear that M. Caracciolo had directed a band during my sojourn in Naples, and received my orders from that city. In fine, the verdict condemning us to ten years of hard labour and thee years of surveillance, with a fine of 200 f., was announced in the prisons of San Francesco and Santa Maria Apparente by the superior employes of the police three hours after the decision of the jury. I do not wish to close this letter without acquainting you with an unfortunate incident in the process. Among the accused was a young man, M. de Angelis, aged between 17 and 18, who had been arrested 20 months previously. This De Angelis was scarcely 16 when ho was arrested. He was accused of conspiracy, and the public accuser an nounced at the same time the innocence of his supposed accomplices, who had been. liberated a year previously. It was observed by the defender of the accused, M. Bag, that it would be impossible• to' condemn his client as a conspi rator, for the law stated that there could be no conspireoP unless two or more persons agreed to act together, and that M. de Angelis stood alone in the accusation ; adding that the innocence of his co-accused had been acknowledged, and as they had been set at liberty he should also be. M. Clausi, having no reply to make to this, accused the unfor tunate De Angelis of having gone to Gaeta to search for miiitary weapons during the siege of that fortress ; and in answer to the observation of M. Bas, that there was no case against the young man, the Procurator-Generale said that Heaven, Neptune, and tempests, the enemies of the Bourbons, had been let loose against their fratricidal arms. My letter is rather long, but I wished to inform you of the nature of the justice administered in the new and beau tiful kingdom of Italy. Certainly, I did not think the cowardice of man could go to such lengths: In fine, we are in Italy, in the year of grace, 1862 , and all is possible here—even impossibility,—Yours faithfully, Count THEODOIIE DE CHRISTEN. From the Prison of Santa Maria, Apparente, Naples, August 23, 1562. • Monsieur le Redacteur,—The victim of an unjust con demnation I raise my voice with those of myriads of unfor tunate men whoni the ferocious brutality of the Piedmon tese has immured in the prisons of Naples, in crying shame and uttering anathemas on the men who do not blush to sell their honour and conscience under the illegal and infamous exigencies of a tyrannic power. My acknowledged fidelity to Ring Francis IL placed me in the lista of the Italian Government, who made it a crime to have served faithfully to the very last moment my legitimate Sovereign, never betraying my flag, but com batting in the Abruzzi under the orders of the Count de Christen. For this last crime it was necessary to exact vengeance by any means; but, as I was under the pro , tection of France, they did not shrink from falling back upon disloyal means, that of implicating mo in the so called conspiracy—the conspiracy of Frisa, and, after a close imprisonment for a year, they dragged me before a court of assizes, sold to the power of the day. There was not a single shadow of proof against me, ex cept the simple statement of a certain Noli, a paid spy of the police, who denounced and caused to be arrested about 100 persons upon very grave imputations, every one of whom was restored to liberty by the criminal court, which at tached importance only to what affected . the Count de Christen and myself. My only guilt was having gone twice to. Frisa to see one of my friends, the Count de Coatandon, who had also served in the Abruzzi under Count de Chris ten. Not being able to condemn me for that, I was ar rested on the charge of the translati m of a letter from the French addressed by M. de Christen during the campaign in the Abruzzi, a letter which was taken on Jan. 22, 1861, with the baggage of the officers of the column at the sack made by the Piedmontese troops in the convent of Casa marl, in the Pontifical States—a convent which was occu pied by some invalid monks. This letter was not found in the first search of Frisa House, but four days afterwards, the police having made a second visit thero, pretended to have discovered this letter in the chamber of M. de Coatandon, of whom, on the first occasion, they had seized even the clothing and the articles belonging to his toilet. This letter possessed no interest in regard to this prosecution, but merely treated of military affairs; but in order to make it available for this purpose six or eight lines which were not in the original were added to the translation, which gave it a certain air of gravity as if it related to a conspiracy. Upon our reclamation, supported by the vice-consul of France, who was present at the discussions, that the ori ginal should be produced, and that a translation should be made publicly, the President could not refuse to have it done. Notwithstanding this, the Procuratore-Generale, M. Clausi, made use in his requisttoire of the false translation. At the commencement of the process threatening letters were sent to the advocates, and also to the jurors-Lto the latter, in order to induce them to condemn us ; to the former, to prevent them from defending us. Nay, more— agents of the police, under the direction of superior employes of the Questure—among others Alexander Avitabile daily invaded the hall and the tribunes with the permission of the Procuratore Generale, thei r duty being to hiss and shout at the accused, and the ir advocates in order to pre vent the defence from being successful, without the Presi dent d'Andrea taking the lease step to cause an end to be put to such scandals. It is needless to mention the conduct of Cifarello, or that of La Marmora, which are sufficiently o f which M. Alexandre D umas ma d e use known. The p e a e itnn h d his e e Ph wis h e d report, was paid for by th e G overnment, an d de Procuratore Generale, who di c t a t e d to him h s h e d to be said.

I then wrote two other letters ; but he made a verbal reply to rue that the President had given an order not to make any rectifications, and it was by such infamous means that the Court was induced to pronounce upon me a sentence of ten years to hard labour (travaux forces). As a soldier's death would have been a less punishment ; but the vengeance of the judges was not satisfied with this; it requires more. A gentleman and an officer must be thrown among the convicts in the galleys—a vengeance worthy of the men who govern us. I hope that God will give me strength to bear this trial; but if I must sink under it I shall die content with having been the victim of my love for the liberty and independ ence of my country and fidelity to my oath.

Henderson, aged 14, w h o was drowned this week, in conse quence of the giving way of the suspended scaf folding used in constructing the under portion of the roadway at the west end of the bridge, and when it will be remembered some 12 men were pre cipitated into the river, was found floating on the \ surface of the river at Hungerford by one of the Thames lightermen, at about ten o'clock. Nearly a week had elapsed since the loss of the body, and as the river in the neighbourhood of the disaster had been dragged, all hope of recovering it had been given up, the prevailing impression being that it had been drifted down with the :current, and the only assignable reason for its sudden appearance at present seems to be that the poer bo must either have fallen headforemost into the river, and have become imbedded in the mud, or that some , heavy weight must have fallen with him or upon him, and so sunk him until the swell of the tide and the steamers brought the body to the surface, GOOD NEWS FOR BREAD EATERS.--If the bakers and millers are any judges of what the price of bread will be there is every prospect there will be a cheap loaf during tho winter.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1862. LITEI?A7U.RE. The Maroon. By Captain Mayne Reid. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. In the work before as Captain Mayne Reid has abandoned his favourite prairies of the far west, and introduces his reader to the Island of Jamaica as it existed in its prosperous days, when the plan ters were in their glory, and the " institution" of slavery seemed to them an inexhaustible Eldorado. Of course, the state of society here depicted belongs wholly to the past; the planters no longer revel in luxury, the blceks no longer tremble at their frown, and the sun of Jamaica, set for the pale face, shines without a cloud for the " man and the brother." Nevertheless, the author draws a vivid picture of the island as it then appeared, and we doubt not that his tale, in its present form, will find numerous readers. The Maroon, nominally the hero, is cap tain of one of those bands of coloured men who seem to have been a distinct race from the negroes, and who, entrenched in the mountains of Jamaica, re sisted all the efforts of the planters to subjugate them ; and he is certainly one of the most important personages in the story, inasmuch as but for his aid the fate of the two characters in whom the reader feels the strongest interest, would, in all pro bability, have been far from happy. As it is they get . through their troubles; not without difficulty and anxiety 'tis true, but still with ultimate success, The real hero of the story is one Herbert Vaughan, whose uncle, Loftus Vaughan, a rich planter, is proprietor of an estate called Mount Welcome, as well as being Justice of the Peace and Custos Rotulorum, To his generosity Herbert, who has been brought up in England, where he has just lost his father, appeals, but without success. The planter has no sympathy for penniless relations, and he, moreover, designs the hand of his only daughter, Kate, for a Mr. Montagu Smythje, a London exquisite, who owns a rich plantation ad- joining his own, for which he had been trustee, and who had visited Jamaica for the first time in the very ship which bore the unlucky Herbert. Re pulsed from his uncle's door, though not before Kate has seen and fallen in love with him, Herbert passes the night in the woods, and the next morning assists the Maroon, Cubina, to defend from blood hounds and bloodthirsty pursuers an Indian Prince, son of a potentate on the slave coast, whose sister, Yola, had been caught by an opposition tribe and sent to Jamaica, consequently he took passage in a slave ship with four and twenty human chattels to exchange for her. To his great surprise and dis gust, however, he was, on his arrival, treated as a slave himself; and after being branded and flogged, ho runs away, and would have met with a worse fate had not Herbert and Cubina rescued him ; as it turns out, how ever, that his sister Yola is servant to Mies Vaughan and sweetheart of Cubina, he is, of course, in perfectly safe hands. Herbert, after this adven ture, is introduced, against his will, to Jacob Jessu ron, a Jew slavedealer, and this worthy, ha v i ng a keen eye to the main chance, and knowing Herbert to be legal heir to the Mount Welcome estate, in vites him in, makes much of him, gives him the post of book-keeper, and commands his handsome daughter Judith to give him every encouragement to fall in love with her. His scheme was this:— Aware that Vaughan's daughter Kate was a mustee, that is, the illegitimate child of a quadroon, and that, as such, she could only inherit her father's property by a special act of the Legislature, he de termined to poison Vaughan by aid of a malignant negro named Chakra, when Herbert, married to Judith, would come into the estate. But, like many other cleverly concocted schemes, this only meets with partial success. Vaughan is poisoned in a cup of " swizzle," a favourite Jamaica drink, consisting of " a mixture of rum, sugar, water, and lime juice," and dies on his road to Spanish Town, whither he was proceeding to take steps to make his daughter heiress of his property ; but the efforts of Judith Jessuron to make Herbert in love with her have been fruitless, though she has fallen a victim to the tender passion herself, as revealed in the following dialogue with her parent : On arriving opposite the door, he knocked, not loudly— at the same time pronouncing in a half whisper, the name " Shoodith "That you rabbi ?" inquired a voice from within, while a footstep passing across the floor told either that the Jewess had not yet sought her couch, or had sought and again forsaken it. The door was opened; and the worthy father of this wakeful daughter passed inside. " Well," said she, as he entered, "I won't inquire what errand you've been on, my good papa Jessuron : some slave speculation, I suppose ? But what have Ito do with it, that you should compel me to sit up for you till this time of the night ? It's now near morning, and lam precious sleepy, I can tell you 1" " Ach Shoodith dear," replied the father, "everything ish goin' wrong I s'help me, everything !" " Well, one might think so, from that doleful phiz of yours. What's troubling you now, my worthy parent ?" " Achl Shoodith I Don't dishtress me by your speeches. I hash something of importance to shay to you, before I go to shleep." " Say it quick, then: for I want to go to sleep myself. What is it, pray ?" "Well, Shoodith, dear, it ish this : you mushn't trifle any more with thish young fellow." " What young fellow do you mean, my good man?" " Vochan, of coursh—Master Vochan." 44 Ho I ho I you've changed your tuno. What's this about ?" " I hash reason, Shoodith; I hash reason." " Who said I was trifling with him? Not I, father Anything but that, I can assure you." " That ish not what I mean, Shoedith." " Well, then, what do you mean, old gentleman? Come now I make yourself intelligible." " I mean thish, Shoodith : you musthn't let things go any further with the young fellow—that ish, shoost now— till I knowsh something more about him. I thought he wash going to be rich—you know I thought that, mine daughter—but I hash found out, thish very night, that — perhaps—he may never be worth a single shilling; and therefore, Shoodith, you couldn't think of marrying him— and mnsthn't think of it till we knowsh more about him I" " Father " replied the Jewess, at once throwing aside her habitual badinage, and assuming a serious tone, "it is too late I Did I not tell you that the tarantula might get caught in its own trap ? The proverb has proved true : 1 am that unhappy spider I" Stung with jealousy the Jewess attempts to kill her rival, Kate, but Yola saves her mistress by striking p the pistol, and the Jewess involuntarily slays herself'. Meanwhile the corpse of Vaughan is on back to Mount Welcome, where the de us t the t r road o y ers have determined tak already ing lls been. plan teesForri,fe,noct Chakra with tohouse, plunder his burn it, and carry off his daughter, for which villainous he fraternises with the leader of a band of black brigands, and their plans succeed but too well. The servants, taken by surprise, make but a feeble de fence, the s terrified barrel, and the mytbje takes refuge in a treacle Chakra to his den i n faintin g the :puppy's hole. The place, so called, was at the bottom of a steep cliff, o'er which rushed a waterfall ' • and th was by a kind of ladd e the only access to it r, formed by the stems of climbing plants. To this spot but Chakra is forced to leave his Kate is conveyed, prey to attend a summo ns from the Jew, though, administers to her a sleeping ere he goes ho draught to hinder her escape. But rescue is a t band. Herbert and Cubina, who had started early i n , the morning to prevent the murder of the plante r , • , in which they were unsuccessful, find, on their return, the house in ruins, and Kate in Chakra's power, and they start at once in pursuit. Penetrating to the villain' s lair him they find absent, and gate they think dead, till she is revived by the use of an anti-sopo rific draught. The lovers then leave the cave, an d the Maroon posts some of his men to intercept the Jew and Chakra on their return. They, little sus pecting the snare, descend and embark on the lagoon formed by the cataract, when the F oolah Prince, whom the Jew had made a slave, and wh o, after his escape, had joined the Maroons, exasperated beyond endurance at the sight of his enemy, fires, the bullet strikes the paddle from Chakra's grasp, and their fate is thus described:-- Chakra's bitterest enemies could scarce have desired to bring that scene to a speedy termination. No avenger need have wished his victim in a more terrible situation than were he and his confederate at that moment. The former, acting under the instinct of self-preserva tion, had not yet given way to despair ; while the terrified look of the latter, who appeared to have already succumbed to it, might have restrained his deadliest foe from inter ference. Between the long, sinewy arms of Chakra and the strength of the current, it was difficult to decide which would conquer. For many minutes the forces appeared to be equally balanced. But the strength of the man was de clining, while that of the element remained the same. In the end the waters must prevail. Chakra at length ap peared to become convinced of this, and cast around him a glance of mingled inquiry and despair. At that moment an idea seemed to strike him—some thought, perhaps, that promised him a chance of escape. All at once he desist e d f rom hi s hopeless efforts to stay the canoe, as if some resol u ti on h a d s uddenly became fixed , and, turning towards hi s compan i on , he bent down, appa rently with the intention o f w hi sper ing to him. His wild, dark look, however, declared his design to be far different. When fairly within reach he threw out his long arms with a sudden jerk, and clutching the Jew by both shoulders, drew him up into his embrace, like some gigantic spider seizing upon its prey. Suddenly changing his hold, he grasped an arm and limb; and, raising the body high in air, with an immense muscular effort, he projected it clear over the gunwale of the canoe. One shriek from the Jew—emikted in,the extremest accent of grief—was heard simultaneously with the plunge; and then the body of the unfortunate man disappeared be neath the dark waters of the lagoon. His hat and umbrella alone floated on the surface, both rapidly carried along by the current. The wretched creature rose again, but not to discover any chance of saving himself from destruction. The only gratification he could have drawn from his temporary emergence was to perceive that his false confederate must perish as well as himself. Chakra had hoped that by lightening the canoe he might contend more successfully with the current ; but it soon be came evident that his hopes would prove vain. In disembarrassing himself of his compagnon du voyage, ho had lost way, and before he could recover it, the canoe was sucked into a charybdis from which even the power of the paddle could not have extricated it. In less than ten seconds the craft entered the embouchure of the gorge, gliding downward with the velocity of an arrow. It was but a despairing effort on the part of its occupant to seize upon a tree that grew horizontally from the rocks, though in his despair Chakra clutched it. Even had the bush been firmly rooted, his strength would not have sus tained him against the fierce, resistless flood. But it was not. The roots gave way ; and in another in stant the Coromantee and his canoe were precipitated an hundred feet sheer among the black rocks below. His confederate had preceded him only by two seconds of time; and the dead bodies of both came once more in close contact,,circling round and round, amidst the frothy spume that creamed over the cauldron below. After this there is little more to be told. Her bert and Kate of course marry happily. So do the Maroon and Yola, who proceed with their relation, the Foolah Prince, to his native land, where their sense of savage justice is gratified by the Yankee captain, who had consigned the Prince to slavery, being caught, killed, and eaten. The work, as we have intimated, abounds with stirring melodramatic incident, and we should not be surprised if it proves to be one of the most popular that Captain Mayne Reid has produced. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Canadian mail steamship Hibernian, which left Quebec on the 6th inst. reached this port this morning. _ _ . A telegram of the 2d inst., from Memphis says : _ _ H. P. Anderson, an attache of the British Lega tion at Washington, has arrived here, and recom mends all bona fide British subjects to make de-. clarations of their nationality within fourteen days, before the Provost-Marshal of Memphis. By this means it is hoped that the British subjects will be prevented from suffering from the inconveniences which are inseparable from a state of war. Gen. Sherman publishes a card, saying that British sub jects must send in their names. A Washington despatch of the 4th inst. gives the following account of the position of affairs in and around that city : All prisoners of war taken by the Federal forces and enrolled, and now within the military depot of Washington, are required to report immediately at General Wadsworth's headquarters. This is sup posed to be with a view to an exchange. The work of getting the army into a good posi tion in front of Washington has been accomplished with entire success. So well conducted has been the process of getting back from Centreville to its pre sent position of defence and perfect security, that not one army waggon was left on the route. Every thing was carried through in the most systematic manner. Many of the troops now occupy positions a short distance from the positions of last fall and winter. The division of Major-General Fitz John Porter, composed of the brigades of General Morrell, Mar tindale, Butterfield, and Griffin, have their tents pitched near the camp ground of last year. The tents of the famous Griffin's battery have their camps upon the identical piece of ground occupied by them last year. Lieutenant David R. Smith, of the 14th New York Volunteers, and - Colonel M'Leod Murphy, against whom charges have been preferred by the colonels, have been honour ably dismissed from the service by order of the President. This is already known. This city and its neigh bourhood were recently in a feverish state of excite ment and alarm, owing to the late battles and the retrograde movement of our troops, but at the same time a feeling of security was generally felt among our citizens that the capital was not within the easy grasp of the enemy. When the war first assumed a serious aspect many of our citizens, to gether with sojourners, left Washington, in alarm, but now it was not known that any have taken their departure under a panic of serious apprehen sion of danger by the rebel invasion. The chain bridge, the timbers of which were, it is reported, removed several days ago, was to-day made use of for military purposes, thus facilitating intercourse between Virginia and Maryland. It has been already stated that a number of gun boats have approached within view of Washington. The appearance of them in the vicinity of George town this afternoon was indeed a wonder, such craft never having before been seen in that part of the Potomac, the river shore in that vicinity was lined with spectators, and the day being beautful the surrounding scenery and the movement of the troops presented a scene at once beautiful and im pressive. The military movements were conducted in an orderly and evidently deliberate manner. There are numerous reports concerning the move ments of the rebel troops. It is difficult to ratify them ail, but there seems to be no doubt that they have passed to Dramsville, Leesburg, and further up the valley. A gentleman who arrived from Fredericksburg last night, a Union citizen of Washington, reports that the destruction of bridges over the Rappahan nock at that place was not completed by our troops before they all evacuated. The wire bridge was passable only for foot passengers and light teams, having only been partially injured, and which has since been repaired by the citizens. Scott's foundry was not blown up as rep orte d , a l t h oug h powder was place d therein for th a t purpose. After our troops left Frederick s b urg, the citizens were afraid to venture into the building, bei ng ap prehensive of torpedoes or infernal machines left by our troops in the building, over 'which the na ti ona l flag was still floati n g when our informant left. Jackson, in the re cent action, Was, according to the report of capture d rebels, slightly wounded in the foot. There is nothing new from the front to-day. Our troops are still getting into position, and have for the greater part received the precise localities held by them previous to their leaving the peninsula. Quite a number of field officers are in the city to day,-including Generals Pope and Sumner. There are constant arrivals of troops both on the Virginia and Maryland side of the Potomac. This descrip tion of business has never been more lively than at present. There seems to be no doubt that the Miry land side is now free from armed rebellion. Five spies crossed over yesterday at Edward's Ferry, and were seen near Poolesville. They did not long continue in that neighbourhood. Stich reconnaissances are of frequent occurrence. A regiment of rebel cavalry was at Edward's Ferry yesterday, and amused themselves with saluting our men on Maryland side with field pieces, doing no damage. It is ascertained that the enemy's forces last seen at Vienna were for the most part worn-out or in valided soldiers, gathered there as a place of refuge. The rebels in the recent battles did not fight with their entire forces, having powerful reserves, to be made use of if emergencies required. The most reli able among the conflicting rumours is that the rebel forces, comprising, at a guess, 100,000, were still moving towards Thoroughfare Gap, branching off to the valley, and stretching upwards to Harper's Ferry. Parolled prisoners say that the rebel soldiers ex press their confidence of crossing into Maryland in heavy force. In the course of four days they will doubtless make the attempt. General Sigel arrived here to-day. On his ap pearance at the hotel be was warmly welcomed by his friends. General Carl Schurz is also here. It is publicly denied that General Sigel has lost any guns. The clerks of the different government departments have commenced drilling. The New York Herald's Washington correspon dent says : A gentleman just from the rebel camp estimates the forces under the generals, viz., Jackson, Longstreet, Ewell, and Gustavus Smith, at no less then 250,000 men. They are all consolidated at Manassas, ex cepting Smith's column, 30,000, which is marching upon Fredericksburg. All the regiments engaged in the late battles fought gallantly. The loss is said to be 40 per cent of the forces engaged. The meeting of hostile battalions of cavalry was terific, over 300 being dismounted by the shock. A Washington letter says the rebel mortality has been enormous, and their captured officers and surgeons admit a loss of from 10,000 to 12,000 killed and wounded up to Saturday night. The Tribune's Washington correspondent says the Government will immediately institute an in quiry into the cause of certain recent events with the view of punishing the responsible parties. One hundred and fifty waggons under negro drivers were sent to the field of battle under a flag of truce to get our wounded. The rebels consented to the removal of the wounded, but held the negro drivers. In regard to affairs at the West, a despatch of the 4th inst from Cincinnati says: Active military preparations continue. All busi ness is suspended excepting butchers,' provision dealers, and bakers. Kirby Smith's forces were posted yesterday at Lexington, Versailles, and Georgetown. The posi tion is a good one for an advance on Cincinnati or Louisville. Troops continue to arrive rapidly. The Evening Times was suppressed this afternoon for an article censuring the administration on the conduct of the war. The preparations for defence are unabated. The city was lively all the afternoon with the marching of troops. There is no alarm. Proffers of armed men are being received and accepted from a large number of towns in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and will arrive in large num bers to-night or to morrow. The Paris. Kentucky, operator evacuated his office at 11 a.m. The rebel infantry and cavalry were then entering the town. Nothing has been heard from the enemy. An Indianopolis despatch says : Troops are being sent to Cincinnati and Louis ville as rapidly as possible. Two regiments are to leave to morrow morning, and more will follow. A gunboat has been ordered to ply on the Ohio, be tween Louisville and the mouth of the Tennessee. From Chicago it is telegraphed :—Bolivar is re ported invested by a heavy force under General Price, and there is also a large force within seven miles, threatening to attack. General Villeppigrie is reported to have crossed the Hatchie river at Boonsville on the night of the Ist, and is probably making towards Bolivar. A New York despatch says : An arrival from Cardenas reports that an iron clad war steamer arrived at Cardenas on the 19th, flying a piratical rebel flag. The pirate steamer has already captured several merchant vessels, al though they were heavily armed. In her cruise of the Bahamas her pirate captain told the authorities that she was a rebel war steamer without a name. She is undoubtedly the Oveto. Late advices from Savannah say that city is gar risoned by 5,000 troops under Mercer. The ram Tingal would not be ready for five weeks. The floating battery Savannah is conceded to be a failure. A large steamer, supposed to be the Nashville, loaded with arms, is lying at Savannah, having run the blockade via Warsaw Sound. Governor Curtain, of Pennsylvania, had issued a proclamation, recommending all the people of the State to suspend business at three o'clock, hence forth, and organise into companies and regiments, and drill, thus placing themselves in an efficient state to respond in case of an emergency. Arms will be furnished. The Granada Appeal of the 2d says:— The forts below New Orleans have been surren dered to a fleet of Confederate gunboats, and that Baton Rouge had been evacuated by the Federals, and the forces taken to New Orleans to defend that place. When our advices left Baton Rouge they took the machinery in the Penitentiary, and after setting free the convicts received them into the army. The same paper states that the Federals had destroyed the town of Bayon Sara. General M'Clellan returned to his army in front of Washington on the 3d inst. He was received with intense enthusiasm and deep feeling by the troops while he went through an inspection of the men and the fortifications. A telegram from St. Louis, dated the 3d inst., says : Governor Gamble yesterday made a requisition on the banks and savings institutions for 160,000 dollars to buy arms. The requisition was made in anticipation of the money to be collected under the recent assessment order. It is understood that the banks have responded favourably, and placed the amount at the disposal of the governor. The hope was entertained that the order would not be en" forced to the full amount, but this is dis:iip d • The full amount will be assessed and colic:e:l• a the The Old Merchants' Exchange was closed d t There Ist inst. by order of the Provost l ‘ lr ons t r ations, ciei nfl was general evidence of disloy al reap pear.

In all the THE STATE TRIALS AT NAPLES. The following letters, from the Count de Christen and Achille Caracciolo, who were lately tried for conspiracy and sentenced to 10 years at the galleys, were recently pub lished in the Indipendente, M, Dumas' paper:— Prison of Santa Maria Apparent°, Naples, August 20, 1862. My dear Friend,—You ask me for some information re specting my trial, and the condemnation with which it con cluded, and I will give it to you, from which you will be edified touching the 'administration of justice in the new and regenerated kingdom of Italy. ,was arrested during the night of the 0-7th September 1861, #theut knowing,temitbot r a4d.while 11E4 tranquilly in my bed at the Hotel de Rome. hail come to Naples on business altogether foreign to polities, and with an English passport, knowing very well that the police of Naples, if they had known my real name, would have played me some trick, as is their fashion, for the Pied montese Government sought to avenge itself on me on account of events which had occurred in the Abruzzi be tween the month of September, 1860, and the month of March, 1861—an epoch at which I commanded some vo lunteer troops, to whom were joined peasants of the coun try, and with some hundreds of those Neapolitans who are so much despised by the Italianissimi. I had the happiness to contend continually with. forces ten times superior to mine, and to keep for seven months, in those countries, towns and villages in obedience to their legitimate Sove reign. I returned with my men into the Roman States, after the fall of Gaeta, in obedience to the reiterated commands of his Majesty Francis IL, who, wishing to cause the effusion of blood to cease, himself gave orders for the citadel of Mes sina and Civitella del Tronto to submit. At last a treaty was concluded between the Piedmontese Government and France, represented by the Duke de Grammont—a conven tion which gave to my officers and soldiers the same advan tages with those who capitulated at Gaeta. It is needless to say that, contrary to all good faith, contrary to every pro mise, these unfortunate men were sent to the Isle of Ponza, in which criminals are usually kept ; and although I had treated as brothers the Piedmontese officers and soldiers taken prisoners during the campaign, the enemy shot the relatives and burnt the property of the peasants who were under my orders. This was the recompense of my humane proceeding while carrying on a loyal war against a disloyal one I . . . . The famous Fria process I Not having been able to lay hold of me at the time I had my gun in my hand, and not daring to condemn me for the Abruzzi affair, in which affair I was under the protection of the French flag, they found no better way of criminating me than to complicate me in a supposed conspiracy, and thus to obtain in an infamous manner a cowardly vengeance. They acted with the same disloyalty towards a brave and good officer belonging to the ex-army of Naples, who had always been under my orders, the,Chevalier Achille Carac ciolo. In July, 1861, two months after my arrest, the police discovered and seized a so-called Bourbonian committee, which was afterwards baptised the Frisa committee ; and the process that was commenced against us was called the Cenatiempo process. As at the time of my arrest there was only this political process going on into which, without too great a display of impudence, I might be thrust, they implicated me in this one. The same was done with regard to M. Caracciolo, arrested within a few days of the close of Sept. 1861, at Cosenza. In the month of Dec. the prelimi nary proceedings were concluded, and I hoped that I should have been brought to trial. Five months passed thus, notwithstanding continual reclamations on my part—re clamations supported by my consul. The agents of the government every fortnight promised, upon their honour, that the trial should be begun during the next fifteen days. It is needless to say that their word of honour was never kept. At last, the French Government having demanded a solution of the affair, the pleadings were appointed to be heard during the last half of the month of April, a term in which I placed no•faith, as I bad the honour to say to the ambassador, M. Benedetti, when he visited the prison of Santa Maria Apparente. I predicted to him that they would not cause me to be judged by the magistrates, who would find it impossible to condemn me, for there was nothing that I could be charged with; but the instruction of the jury was waited for, as over the jurors [the court] the police would possess full power, and would insist with all their might upon my condemnation. The result proved the correctness of my prediction. - - In fine, on the 18th of July, after a year occupied with the proceedings, I appeared before the court of assize, composed of Messrs. Jean AndrC d'Andrea, president; Dominique Lamagua, advocate; Alexander Sterliti, ditto; Jean Labriola, ditto; Raphael Cerique, ditto ; Raphael Carteni, ditto : Gennaro Masseolo, professor ; Francis Laurentei, ditto; Salvatore Colonnese, merchant; Domi nique Russo, wine merchant; Bencit Pittocchi, Jean Piro mallo, Caprece Fisciolli, Vincent Lombardi, Michael Cara vita, and Vincent Clausi, Procuratore del Rt. After the opening of the pleadings the advocates received letters containing menaces to the effect that they would be poignarded if they continued to defend us. They also sent to the jurors threats of the same kind in case they should acquit us, which was a very useless proceeding, for they had been previously bribed. The police sent every day a num ber of persons in disguise, who acted under the direction of several superior employes of the Questure, and those also who pleaded before the tribune with the consent of the Pro curatore Generale, M. Clausi, were under the direction of the delegate of police, Alexander Avitabile, and who had also the duty of insulting the accused on arriving and de parting from the court. The result of 18 days' pleadings went to show that I had no connection with those who composed the Frisa commit mittee. There was but one witness, a certain Noli, a spy of the police,:who accused me of having visited two or three times the Count de Coatandon and Viscount de Lapo, who had hired an apartment in the Palace of Frisa, and had there conspired. During the examination of this witness I requested to ask Noli if he had received any orders from me, or if he knew one single person who had received se sn d a Y t orders from me. Noli did not know what to sat, speak . p last declared that he had heard me through the h door rsons on politics with my friends, and this although s'e e w - e ord of with whom he said I talked did not know a single But the Italian, and Noli did not kn ow a wo rd of Frenc h. y caused a police had another arrow for their bow.

He uttered a romance so incon s i s t en t an d so oil D o a impudent that the president himself and the jurors were indign ant against him and ordered him out of the room. in t h e course of the day General La Marmora wrote a letter in which he complained of the want of respect towards us by that individual, and suggested as a reparation that the chief messenger hicissier, who brought him forward should be discharged from his employment, adding that the de claration of Cifarello ought not to be taken into consideration. M. La Cecilia complained of this on the following day in his defence, in spite of the efforts of the president to impose silence upon him. During the campeign in the Abruzzi, and precisely on the 27th of December, 1860, M. Caricciolo sent me a loiter to Foro APpio, where I was a prisoner to a detachment of French soldiers (40th of the line). In that letter M. Caracciolo gave me information concerning one of my columns which was under his command. lle told me that he had sent one of the adjutants to Fiorentino to collect the other troops, and he expressed a wish that I might be set at liberty. On the 22d of January, 1861, I was with the entire column at the Convent of Casamari (on the frontiers of the Pontifical State s ), in which I had requested hospitality for some hours, in order that I might cause my men to dry and rest them selves, they having twice during the preceding day crossed a ford on the River Liri.
