As is, indeed, but natural, under the circum stances, the accounts coming to us from Italy, just now, vary according to the hopes and fears of the writers who report what they see and hear around them. We can almost tell beforehand what will be the tendency of the advices received as they drop in from different parts of the Roman peninsula. And this, not merely, if the document coming to hand be a " private letter from Rome," or some exceptional correspondence from the Island of Sicily. It is even within the bounds of possibility to have a tolerably accurate foretaste of the flavour, so to speak, of the opinions confided to us, accord ingly as they happen to be formed at localities, let us say, as little remote from each other as Turin, as Genoa, as Milan. The pro-capital, as we may call it for the nonce, or the temporary metro polis of the new Italian Kingdom, is, almost as a matter of course, all for the King and his Constitu tional Government. It signifies comparatively little who chances to be at the head of af f airs, whether it be CAVOUR, or RICASOLI, or RATAZZI, the Prime Minister and his colleagues are invariably, in the estimation of the inhabitants of Turin, the re presentatives, par exellence, of the National Move ment. " Cstsarem vehis !" is the perpetual thought, to all appearance, of the Turin population. And— as by a sort of necessity—Turin is loyal, not only to the KING, but to his Government. As Turin is thus invariably and inevitably loyal, peopled by Royalists—Geneva is, perhaps, more than any other Italian City Mazzinian—and Milan more than almost any other, even Naples, even Palermo, Garibaldian ! The Genoese, it would be idle to deny, are Garibaldian also, and even—whenever they have the opportunity for showing it—enthusiastically Garibaldian. But, beyond that, always, and not fitfully, they are, for the most part, with the most earnest of them, to the heart's core, Republican. They have an "arriere pensee " even in their momentary displays of devotedness to the Gari baldian cause—a cause always and avowedly in the names of the KING and the Constitution— they have even then an "arriere pensee " of Re publicanism. The slope of Genoa, to adopt the phrase of LAMARTINE, is towards Democracy. The Milanese, on the contrary, give themselves up with their whole hearts to a sympathetic re sponse to any and every appeal that floats to them —no matter from how far off— from GARIBALDI. Nor can the enthusiasm cherished at Milan for GARIBALDI be very much wondered at. It comes not only from their remembrance of his matchless exploits in the north of Lombardy, between the borders of the lakes and the spurs of the mountain range of the Carpathians, but—by 5 sort of reaction—it comes also from their vivid contrast of his magnificent disinterestedness, as contrasted with the selfish ambition of the French Autocrat. The Milanese, we may be certain, remember with a pang of mingled pity and indignation the way in which the Emperor NAPOLEON, through his Pro clamation from their city, raised the hopes of all Italy to the highest pitch well imaginable, only to dash them suddenly to the dust immediately after wards. They remember more vividly than any other section of the Italians the passion of grate ful enthusiasm with which they greeted the " Li berator of Lombardy," at the time of his issuing to the world his famous Milan Proclamation. Our own gifted countrywoman, since deceased, the late ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING, has articulated in an affecting lyric the love and admiration then felt by the Milanese for NAPOLEON 111. Yet it was after a very brief interval had elapsed, as we all only too painfully recollect, that NAPOLEON falsified his own words, virtually tore up his Milan Proclamation, and scattered the fragments of it to the winds, marred all that he had already accomplished of his splendid programme by the pitiable anti-climax of his abruptly improvised concessions to the young Kaiser FRANCIS JOSEPH ! No, we may be certain of this—those Milanese have never forgotten in any one of its details, that evil compromise. That shame ful rupture by NAPOLEON at Villafranca of the compact he had originally entered into at Plom bieres! How the startling knowledge of it afflicted CAVOUR we have recently had the oppor tunity of learning minutely from the graphic pages of Count CHARLES ARRIVABENE. And we cannot certainly wonder that the Milanese should yet hold in very painful remembrance what at the moment of its occurrence made CAVOUR nearly beside him self with passionate indignation ! Insomuch, says ARRIVABENE, was the great Italian Statesman astounded and infuriated by the knowledge of this unlooked-for turpitude on the part of the French EMPEROR that his face was flushed and burning, that his voice was half-suffocated with emotion, that he flung away his portfolio as Minister, that— before withdrawing (as it proved, however, only for the time being) into private life—he used words of Such uncourtly bluntness in the presence of VICTOR 1 R mMANUEL that the latter immediately ordered e // ° l3 ll- from his presence: No, the Milanese are not likely ever to forget the revulsion caused by that melancholy and anomalous Sequel to a glorious and triumphant camr paign. Hence their ardent admiration for GARI BALDI, contrasting , a they do, as they cannot fail to do, the self - abnegati on of the patriot-hero with the paltering and huckstering policy of the Imperial ally_ A contrast that v . was never more ie wii when GARI BALDI out to iew, than Dictatorship in the South as Conqueror Liberator of Bgala:Dintgrleytired empty-handed from to the King dom his island ' farm at Caprera—vv of the Two Sicihliielse, wNiAtphodLraEwoiNngwas receiving .

It is no marvel consequently that the intelligence varies in the most extravagant manner, even within the twenty-four hours. So that yesterday, for example, the tidings were dis tinctly to the effect, that all the young men of Italy were hurrying as rapidly as might be in coasting vessels down to the Sicilian. rendezvous of the nevf army of Garibaldian s While to-day the news brought to England tells us that the cause of the Garibal diens is altogether hopeless, that not only the army of the KING, but that with it the great mass of the population, even in Sicily, are dead against the Gari baldians, and devoted with one accord to the inte rests of the Government. To-day's "point of view" is Rattazzian—as yesterday's " point of view" was Garibaldian, One despatch comes to us from the south from the midst of a group of young red shirted recruits bound for Corleoue—a most appro priately named locality, by the way, to have been chosen as the head-quarters'of GARIBALDI ! The other despatch comes to us, on the contrary, from the North, from the head-quarters of the Government. Through all the changes and fluctuations of these confused accounts however, brought to us one day from Turin and the next from Palermo, it is impos sible not to recognize that all Italy is astir, that GARIBALDI, whatever his design, is in earnest, and and that his new enterprize is no more of a fiasco than that memorable one which once upon a time set out from Genoa under his leadership, an enter prize that was so loudly laughed to scorn at the period of its departure as the half insane device of a crack-brained enthusiast. Mr. RoEsucx excels in JONAH'S virtue—he does well to be angry. If he gets into the amiable cue, he is sure to be wrong. The country to a man thought him so, when he did the amiable for Austria; and now, he himself thinks he was wrong when at the commencement of the American guars rel he was in such an amiable mood towards the North. He is now got angry with the North ; of course his virtuous anger is not sullied with love for the South, he would only do justice to the South in his wrath with the North. It cannot be denied that the sentiments he expressed :at Sheffield are those which have been growing in the country for some time. Indeed we have most of us followed very much the course which Mr. ROEBUCK has taken. England generally regarded Mr. LINCOLN'S election as a favourable omen for the cause of freedom in the States, and our love of liberty and of law made us indignant that the South should by force resist the first bal lot which went against them, and after forty years of party supremacy, be unwilling to put up with one election which placed them in opposition. It was bad no doubt. But the progress of the quar rel developed some things which none of us had suspected. We knew that the South would be devoted to its slavery, but we hardly supposed that the North would cherish it also as the indispensable bond of the Republic. We knew that the North was addicted to protection for native industry ; but we had not thought that she would seize the first moments of the absence of Southern members to pass a Morrill Tariff, and next session to pass one infinitely worse, both designed to cut off European commerce, and to aggravate the misery caused here by the cotton blockade. We knew she always intended to blockade the Southern ports, but did not think her naval commanders would venture to overhaul our mail packets, take persons from their decks, and that their Congress, judges, and governors would then join the sovereign mob in lauding the insult to England, just because it was an insult. Such facts could but do their, work and they have done it. And lest the changed feeling of this emai l' try should be soothed by time and forgetfulness, 4 the Yankees contrive to keep up a perpetual naval blister on our commerce, of which we cannot, it is true, get rid by international law, but which nothing but the consummate patience and forbear ance of our rulers prevent the nation from tearing off at any cost. According to international law, iGrp 1.,-.1;—..., 41,... 4 ;f 41,3 Am.,.. ;,........ .1...1 1 .,. ,f mar I( watched the ports of London and Liverpool, and overhauled every ship they saw fit to suspect, they would be within the letter of the law. They find iit inconvenient to come so far, but they do watch t the British port of Nassau in the Bahamas as rigidly as that of Charleston, and not only stop and search 1 ships, without a shadow of a pretext for doing so, but assume the right to interfere with the trade between New York and Nassau. Of course, the pretext is, that the neutral port is made the depotfor,to the s goods,o toSouthern th b e e r n c conveyed, as as opportunity may offer, defiance of the proclamation of the Queen of ENGLAND. And yet these Yankees smuggle con traband of war, in defiance of her proclamation, in fifty times greater abundance than the South can do. If we cannot by law prevent this semi-blockade of British ports, can the North wonder that we re sent such straining of international law beyond all the bounds of international courtesy ? and can she be surprised if, while she glories in these legal in sults to the Britisher, the Britisher is inevitably converted into a partisan of the South ? Mr. ROEBUCK avowed himself favourable to re cognition. He held it to be for the interest of the world that the country which aimed at omnipotence in bullying, should be divided not only into two States, but into five if they liked, and that it would not only be less likely to conduct itself so offen sively to other countries, but would be better go verned at home. At first such views were held by many here, but we believe they are becoming now the general opinion. Some part of the meeting seemed opposed to recognition of the South, proba bly confounding it with military intervention. Simple recognition, however, without intervention, is an acknowledged international right, and not a violation of neutrality. And we beg to tell the North that if it would be, which we deny, a strain ing of international rights, it is one not to be men tioned with that of a semi-blockade of British ports. Is international law to be strained almost to break ing for Yankees only ? If they overhaul our ships may we not recognise the South ? Lord PALMERSTON must, of course, speak, even at Sheffield, with the recollection that, though not "in his place in Parliament," he is a Minister, but we strongly suspect that his real sentiments are the same as Mr. ROEBUCK'S. While expressing his deep sympathy with the sufferers in Lancashire, and his admiration of their conduct, he could but insist on neutrality as the duty and wisdom of the Government, expressing his belief that interference in the war would but aggravate difficulties at home, and his hope that another year might not witness the deluge of blood which had characterised this. But he has stated in the House that recognition without intervention is no breach of neutra lity. The news from France to-day shows, what the past has showed, how favourable the EMPEROR is to recognition, and even to something more, and its bearing on the North could hardly be otherwise than that of inclining to peace. Probably Mr. ROEBUCK is quite right, that Six months will not pass over before it is done. If ,;(:, the sooner the better in the interest both of com merce of humanity. It' all the great Powers of Europe agreed simultaneously to recognise the South as an Independent Government we do not believe M r .

Several years have elapsed since the Fleet Prison was razed : to the ground—since which time its site con• tinues up to this present moment a vacant space in Farringdon-street. Many more years have passed by since the old Marshalsea Prison was ob literated from the surface of London—so that its mere site is almost undiscoverable. One only thinks of the Fleet now through the medium of Roderick Random and of the Pickwick Papers —and of the Marshalsea through that of Little Dorrit. But from the comic genius of those two delightful humorists TOBIA S SMOLLETT and CHARLES DICKENS they would remain to us only in a very dim and a wholly painful remem brance. Three others of the great prisons for debt are still left amongst us, but they are all but tenantless. The Queen's Bench Prison—the Prison in Whitecross•street—and the one in Horsemonger lane. The two former for debtors only—the last mentioned a gaol for other criminals beside those who are guilty alone of the crime of poverty ! Yet at this moment, so much has the system of im prisonment for debt died out, under the wise decision at length arrived at by the Legis lature that there are only about one hundred prisoners in all three establishments together ! According to the working of the new arrange ments already set in operation, these 100 prisoners for debt still remaining in custody will be rapidly got rid of by their humane release. Then Horse monger-lane gaol will be left for criminal offen ders alone—the debtors' prisons of the Queen's Bench and Whiteeross-street being thenceforth, as places of detention, utterly useless. It is a consummation so long devoutly wished for that we hardly care to add—now that the doom of the old villanous system is sealed—that even "as places of detention " for debt, they have been utterly useless from first to last. The news by the Persia points, despite the hot weather in America, to the probability of two fierce encounters, since in two places hot-blooded com manders and armies were getting near each other. In Virginia General POPE, in the Shenandoah Valley, was nearing General EWELL, the former with 60,000 men, the latter with half that number, but in a position in which he could be reinforced by railway from Richmond almost at an hour's notice. They are neither of them routine men ; and since JACKSON cannot be far from EWELL, m e may well look for something bold on one side or on both. We hear of the rest of the army of Vir ginia concentrating its strength, and rapidly in creasing its numbers on the opposite side of the river James to that which WCLELLAN occupies, and in an angle formed by the junction with it by a river of the hardly pronounceable Indian name of Appomattox. The precise object of selecting this spot for the grand rendezvous does not yet appear. No less than three iron-clad gun boats are reported to be building at Richmond ; pro bably they and the army just mentioned will co operate to make the river impracticable for General M'CLELLAN. The other combatants likely to meet each other, perhaps before the next mail, are in Tennessee. The Confederates soon recaptured Chatanooga, and have been for some time, in force there. General BUELL is within thirty-five miles of the place, and unless the Confede rates therefore retreat, it would seem that a con flict can hardly be avoided. In the neighbour hood of Corinth the Federals have retreated, leav ing the railway in the possession of the Confede rates. It is worthy of notice that wherever, in the South, the Federals have to recede from any posi• tion, their opponents seem prepared at once to occupy the ground. What hope can there be of such a country ever settling down again under Northern rule. Mdlle. Patti is understood to be engaged at the Paris-Italians from November until February. It is stated in the German papers that Mme. S. S. Cruvelli positively intends to return to the stage at the eommencement of the ensuing season. It is stated that an English company of come dians, under the direction of M. Pechter, who is very popu lar as a tragedian in London, are about to give a series of representations in Paris. Mr. Telbin, one of the most celebrated scene painters in England, where that branch of the art has been carried to great perfection, has just passed through Paris on his way to Constantinople and the Holy Land. He is about to take sketches of the most celebrated places men tioned in the Scriptures, with a view to a great pictorial work in centemplation, for which this fine artist has been specially engaged. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY DIVI DEND.—The directors have decided to recommend to the proprietors at their next meeting to declare a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 31 per cent. per annum, less in come tax. A ROASTING SUN.—The Aledocain, a journal published at Lespzerre, relates the singular fact that on Saturday last, between noon and three p.m., the rays of the sun were so powerful as actually to roast many of the grapes in the vineyards of the Medoc district, so that nearly one• fourth of the presumed vintage, which was expected to be extremely abundant, has been lost. Moreover, the quality, it is feared, will be impaired. Baron Huber has arrived in Paris from Vienna, and arrived at the Hotel Chatham. A telegraphic despatch from Toulon mentions the departure of the Cacique steam frigate, having on board numerous detachments for the corps of occupation at Home. MARRIAGE OF PRIESTS.—It would seem that the marriage r, f priests (says Galslqnani) is making way in Italy. An ex• priest, Antonio Giovanetti, of Bologna, was lately married to Madlle. Domonica Capanni. The mar 'gage certificate was received by the notary Calandrelli. The witnesses were Dr. Zani and the ex-monk Pompeo Rossi, THE HARVEST IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.—The late ' fine weather has greatly improved the appearance of the corn crops, the greater part having changed colour. In some districts wheat cutting has commenced—in the neigh bourhood of Newark, for instance, in the fertile parts of Leicestershire, and also at several villages on the confines of the vale of Belvoir. Several fields of oats on the north side of Nottingham have succumbed to the scythe. If the weather shortly takes up again, the harvest will be general in the course of a week or ten days. THE FRENCH IN ROME.—A letter from Rome of the 2d inst. says :—" The situation of affairs is incontest ably growing worse. The French military authorities have been informed that Garibaldi really intends to attack the Papal territory, and it is as seriously determined to repulse him. Neither the French nor Papal Governments yet know what force Garibaldi has at his disposal, as ho is always increasin g his numbers, but it is believed his first attempt will be by 3,000 Garibaldians, who are at Naples. We expect to see them arrive under the American flag, and in anticipation of such an event the captains of the Des cartes and of the Goner have received orders to sink them. The French military authorities have likewise received notice that Garibaldi has got possession of several ships. We see muskets carried through the streets here, The city is still tranquil, but we apprehend a demonstration, of which the little bombs and Bengal tires are the symptom, The French and Papal troops are united in action, but they occupy distinct positions. All the Papal soldiers are in the country. General Kausler at Omagni,the '4 ouaves at Cep rano, and other corps at different points of the Neapoli. tan territory. The French watch particularly over Rome, Civita Vecchia, and the coast of Tuscany. Gen. Micheler has been sent to Civita Vecchia to command the garrison, A report was current this afternoon that the Zouaves - were attacked at Ceprano, near the Neapolitan frontier ; but we must expect to hear a thousand false reports every day, The Pope does not stir from the Vatican. Francis I(. came to Rome on the announcement of the events going forward. He has returned to Albano. The Queen Dowager, widow of Ferdinand IL, is expected here in the course of the month of August. A rather violent scene took place the day before yesterday in the saloons of the Prince of Trapani. The guests were amusing them elves, when Monsigncre Nardi, a prelate, thought proper to say that the Neapolitan officers inspired no confidence , The Neapolitan General Cutrofiano, Count of Arragon, turned round and said, Monsignore, you take advantage of your cloth to insult u a . It i s f ortunate you are a priest, or I would insist on satisfaction,' The prelate did not apo logise, and the general, red with fury, whom the Prince was endeavouring to pacify, again reproached the prelate with his ill-timed language. After a short pause Monsignere Nardi quitted the room, and it is not prolol9. tA9 Wil ) return," MILITARY DICTATORSHIP. The following is a portion of a handbill which was posted in Louisville, Kentucky, but has found its way to Liver pool : . "Louisville, Kentucky, July 13, 1862. . ~ . . " It is ordered that every ablebodied man take arms and aid in repelling the marauders. Every man who does not join will remain in his house 48 hours, and be shot down if he leaves it, "J. T. BOYLE, Brigadier-General Commanding. " The citizens of Lexington and vicinity are ordered to comply strictly with the foregoing order, which will be rigidly enforced. Persons uniting with us will repair to the Court-house, where officers will be stationed to assign them positions in companies. " Those not so uniting will confine themselves to their houses from half-past 2 o'clock p.m. "F. P. BRACUT, Mayor and Provost Marshal. "Lexington, July 13, 1862." M. Thouvenel has resumed his functions at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the ad interim direction of that department by M. Rouher has consequently ceased. In the late session 318 acts of parliament were passed, of which 114 were public, 201 local, and 3 private. It is in contemplation to form a settlement at Cape York, on Torres Straits. Berlin mourns its beloved Japanese, who have departed, accompanied by Major Gottberg, Dr. Bunsen, and the other keepers who had been assigned to them during their stay here, for Stettin and Swinemunde, where a Russian frigate would receive them. The King of Madagascar has applied to the French Minister of War for officers to instruct his troops. His Majesty offers considerable advantages to those who may undertake the task. THE COTTON FAMlNE.—Yesterday a letter was received at the Mansion House, addressed to the Lord Mayor, enclosing the munificent donation of £l,OOO from the Bengal Chamber of Commerce, at Calcutta, towards the relief of the prevailing distress. This makes the total amount sent to the Lord Mayor up to yesterday £31,865; and at a meeting of the City of London Relief Committee, held yesterday, £5OO was sent to Rochdale, £lOO to Tint• wistle, £5O to Withnell, near Chorley, and £5O to Embsay, near Skipton, to be distributed to the local relief com mittees. FIRE IN BLACKFRIARS-ROAD.—Between twelve and one o'clock this morning a fire broke out at 76, Black friars-road, which was not subdued until the premises in which it originated were consumed. The fire escapes were instrumental in rescuing several females from the burning building. ADVERTISING FOR WIVES.—The following ex tract is from Artemus Ward's lectures on "The Children in the Woods :—" Advertising for a wife is about as ab surd as getting measured for an umbrella. It is absurd —it is mean—and I suspect that most of those fellows who adopt that method of securing domestic bliss ought to hammer stones in some well-regulated peniten tiary. Once in a while, however, there may be a simple minded but unfortunate young man among those adver tisers, and to him the lecturer would say, why advertise There is probably some young lady of your acquaintance for whom you have a certain regard. Why not go to her boldly and tell her there is a commodious apartment to let in your heart, with board. If you get the mitten do not despair, but charge elsewhere for another mitten. You may as well have a pair of mittens. One mitten is no pos sible use. I know a young man out West who has got mitts enough to go peddling, and he is yet healthy. Don't be bashful, young man. Don't be like the young person who rode ten miles in a sleigh with a pretty girl one bright moonlight night, with the intention of popping the question, but all he said was It is quiet mooney to. night.' Yes,' she replied, muchly.' And there wasn't another word said."—Ameriean Paper. THE HEAVY GALE OF THURSDAY.—The predic tion of Admiral Fitzroy that the coast would be visited with heavy gales from the south-west, with rain, and which were telegraphed to the various ports early on Wednesday, have been fully realised, for soon after the storm signals had been hoisted at the harbours and headlands, the weather became unsettled, and since Wednesday nightthere has been a succession of terrific squalls, with torrents of rain. From the register of the anenometers it has been found that the highest pressure of the wind has been 181 b, to the square foot, which was felt during the forenoon of Thursday, when the fearful squall passed over the metro polis. A number of casualties have been reported of vessels going ashore or losing their spars and anchors in the gale, but the most lamentable catastrophe occurred early on Thursday morning off the Start, when a large ship was totally lost by collision, with all hands with the exception of one man. The ill-fated ship is telegraphed to be the Mullion, Captain Nicholas, from the West Indies to Rotter dam, but it is thought there is some slight mistake in the name, and that she will prove to be a ship bearing a some what similar name, and bound to London. According to the particulars that have been received, it appears that the unfortunate vessel reported to be the Mullion was making her way up Channel, and about two o'clock on the morning of Thursday, when some miles off the Start, the Wiwi blowin g heavy from the southward and west ward, she came in contact with the ship Daphne, Captain Foreman, which left London in the latter part of last wQek, an d was proceeding down Channel for Sydney. The re port states that the Mullicn almost immediately foundered, and 16 men, including the captain, went down with her, only one of the crew being saved. The Daphne also sus tained considerable damage, and for a time was placed in a very difficult position. She lost her bowsprit and foremast, and after much exertion the crew succeeded in getting her into Torbay, where she arrived yesterday morning. THE COTTON GOODS MARKETS.—The accounts of the position of the markets for cotton goods from all the p r incipal ports of the world continue to confirm the impres sion that even up to the present moment the manufacturers and merchants of Lancashire ara deriving a balance of pro fit from the war in the United States and the check to the importation of the raw material. At no single point has any scarcity of stocks yet been shown, the total on hand at most marts being still snob as io check a full response to the upward movement of prices here. The amount of ovP: r .. trading carried on during the years immediately preceding 1861 must, therefore, have been beyond all former experi ence even in the wild speculationa of this nuntry, and it is palpable that the events which }, are now causing distress among the Manchester operatives have converted that which would have brought ruin upon a large number of employers and shippers into a trade which has yielded, as far as they are concerned, highly remunerative returns, Of course, all such estimates are idle ; but there are persons who believe that the pecuniary difference to Lancashire has amounted to between £20,000,000 and £10,000,000 sterling. Whatever the amount, it must have been enormous, and there is consequently every reason to hope that the wealth of the district will be found able to continue to make the sacrifices that have already been commenced, and that may be essential during the winter. It is believed, moreover, that the pressure of these sacrifices will induoe an in creased readiness to meet the outlay for new machinery for the more general use, not only of Indian cotton, but of the various Wine that may be adopted as substitute& It is asserted in some quarters that much reluctance to run any risk even in this respect has been manifested, but when it is found that it is only by such means that employment can be created so as to lessen the relief rates, an impulse will he imparted to the exercise of ingenuity and the embarking of capital which may have a most import and salutary bear ing on the industrial:skill of the country. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND.— The cattle show in Limerick of this society was continued on Thursday. The attendance was diminished by the con tinued inclemency of the weather. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant left the city in the morning for Ennisty mon, county Clare, the residence of Colonel M'Namara, whence he was to return to Limerick to be present at the ball which will conclude the show. HOARSENESS.—The Journal des Connaissances Medicates publishes some curious remarks, by Dr. Caffe, on hoarseness. A sore throat having its seat in the larynx is often followed by a partial loss of voice, which it is very difficult to remove. Singers and public orators are fre quently attacked with sudden and obstinate hoarseness. When Napoleon I. returned from Elba, he was seized with this affection but a few hours before he was to reply to his harangues of the municipality of Lyons. Hi s ph ysichua, Dr. Fourreau de Beauregard, prescribed the foilov:ing potion ;---Liquid ammonia, 10 drops ; syrup of cry 45 grammes ; infusion of blossoms of the lime-tree, 90 grammes ; to be taken in one draught. It produced the her effect immediately, an was afterward s k nown 'by name of " Imperial potion." The late Dr. Bennati, of Paris, physician to the Italian Theatre, who him self possessed one of the finest voices known, and lost his life in frost of Tortoni's in consequence of injuries received from an unmanageable horse, used to prescribe the follow ing gargle for hoarseness ;.--.W ater, 250 grammes • alum, 6 grammes; diacodion sy rup, 60 grammes to be used every half-hour. Dr. Benn a ti' s voice was so remarkable that Professor Magendie requested Dr. Caffe, who had dissected the body, to favour him with his larynx, which he subse quently made the subject of one of his best lectures at the College de France. A lady, on the other hand, had one of his teeth set in a ring, which she constantly wore ever afterwards,, Bennati's skull was deficient in diploe, an d the external table was therefore all one with the internal one ; its structure was foliaceous, an ana tomical arrangement common to all singing-birds, and the cause probably of the numerous fractures on the skull which led to his death.—When a public np.art is affected with sudden hoarseness just at a time 1 7(hen h must speak, the impedime n t ma y b e removed by the ap e plication of a mustard plaster round the neck, and an o th er at the base of the breast, In chronic hoarseness Dr. Graves recommends ea gargle composed of 3 grammes of tincture of Guinea ppp per, and 145 of a decoction of bark, to be used five or six times a day ; at the same time the front part of ohmte neck is frequently rubbed with the fellowirlg liniment : porated oil, 24 • croton oil, 8 grammes.

She landed all mails, except those for Liverpool and Scotland, and 16 passengers, and proceeded at 5 20 p.m, ; all well. (Per Persia, via Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, JULY 29, Evening. General Pope has taken the field in the Virginia valley. It is reported that his force numbers 60,000 men. The Confederate General Ewell, with 30,000 men, is between Orange Court-house and Gordonsville. General Buell's advance is within 35 miles of Chatanooga, where a severe fight is expected. The Charleston Mercury says that the steamers Nashville and Kate have arrived at a Southern port and sailed again. The _Richmond Inquirer says :—" The Nashville brought 22 pieces of artillery, taken by the English from the Russians at Inkerman, and presented by British merchants to the Southern Confederacy." A further extensive destruction of cotton has taken place in Alabama. It is reported that three iron-clad steamers are being built at Richmond. A war meeting has been held in Philadelphia, favouring the prosecution of the war, and declaring that foreign interference will not be tolerated. Great efforts are still being made to fill up all the old regiments. Intelligence from New Orleans to July 20 states that the weather was very hot, but the health of the troops was good. The steamers Saxonia and Etna have arrived out. JULY 20 (Morning). The Federals have evacuated Grand Junction, which has been occupied by the Confederates, together with the larger portion of the Charleston Railway between Memphis and Corinth. Large bodies of soldiers are reported to be flock ing to Richmond from all parts of the South. It is still affirmed that the Confederates are con centrating in force between the junction of the Appomattox and James Rivers and Richmond. The Federals have routed two large bodi es of guerillas in Missouri. The prize steamer Tubal Cain has 'arrived at New York. The Australasian has arrived out. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The discovery of a plot at Louis, in Missouri, to seize the city and deliver it to the Confederates has induced the Governor to call out the Militia of the State. Large numbers of Irish, long settled in the city, have refused to obey the call, on the plea that they are British subjects, and have claimed d ale protection of the British Consul. At New York yesterday two Irishmen were arrested on a charge of treason to the United States for dissuading their countrymen from enlisting. They were discharged after a reprimand. The recruiting makes slow progress. Not above 10,000 men have taken the bounty money in re sponse to the President's call for 300,000. General M'Clellan has ordered the expulsion of all civilians from the lines, including the newspaper correspondents. There is great activity at the War-office in Wash- ington. An attack on Richmond is spoken of. Unless M'Clellan has been largely reinforced, which is not probable, he has not men enough for the purpose. Av. evacuation of the peninsula by the Federal trmy may be in contemplation. The Confederate army at Richmond is commanded by General Lee. The report of the death of " Stonewall" Jackson is a fabrication. A movement against General Pope in the Shenandoah is believed to have been in trusted to him. NEW YORK, JULY 30.

It contains a long article signed by its political director, Viscount de la Gueronniere, on the policy of the Empire, which the writer declares to be at the same time a Conservative and Liberal regime, dominating revolution by liberty. The same paper publishes the following news from Italy : Garibaldi held a council of war at Cefala on the 4th instant, at which it was decided to march on. Rome, notwithstanding the remonstrances which had arrived from Turin. The Garibaldian Volun teers number 6,000. Garibaldi has received funds from Turin, and has chartered six large merchant vessels. The plan of operations is said to be to land in the Gulf of Salerno. The Volunteers would then be joined by an auxiliary force, and would march: on the Roman States. The Paris papers publish the following teleg•tam, dated Ragusa, the Bth inst. : The loss of the Turks in the late engageraeut was enormous. They have concentrated their forces at Zabljak, for the purpose of reorganising them. The whole Montenegrin populv.tion, even old men, women, and children, fight against the Turks. TURIN, AUG. 8, 6.25 P.M. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Signor Ra tazzi said that there was a rumour, which, how ever, had not yet been officially confirmed, that an encounter had taken place between the troops end a band of Garibaldians near Girgenti, in which the Garibaldians are said to have lost 50 muskets. The Liscusione of this evening says : " It is reported that bands of volunteers on the road to Girgenti, under the command of Ben tivegni, have encountered the troops. After the exchange of a few shots the volunteers dispersed. They appeared to have had several wounded." The Deputies Nicotera and Micelli are said to be with Garibaldi. The official Gazette says : " It appears that the Garibaldian volunteers will leave for Messina instead of Palermo. They num ber 3,000, and are divided into three columns. The first will march towards Sciarrn ; Garibaldi in per son will conduct the second, and the third will follow." NAPLES, AUG. 8, EVENING. Cenatiempo and his accomplices have been con demned by the tribunals. TURIN, AUG. 8. The llionarehia Nazionale of to-day saya— The movements of Garibaldi do not appear to have any fixed purpose. A portion of the Volun teers have gone towards Palumbo, others to Cereara. Their numbers, which are about 3,000, diminish daily. Sicily is perfectly quiet. ST. PETERSBURG, AUG. 8. The State Bank has determined to reduce the price of bullion at the rate of 1 per cent. monthly until January next, when the half-imperial will be quoted at 546 copecks, and the silver rouble at 106 copecks. Further reductions will follow. WARSAW, AUG. 8. The author of the attempt on the life of the Marquis Wielopolski is a lithographic printer named Louis Yryll. An extra supplement of the official Dziennik of to-day contains several remissions of punishments upon the occasion of the birthday of the Empress and the baptism of the Grand Duke Waclaw (Wencelas).
