This Company is promoted by those who consider it ne cessary that the overcrowded and rapidly-increasing popu lation of London should have a well-timbered p m ark within the easiest possible distance of the City at the sallest pos sible cost. There is an acknowledged want of a place for the health ful recreation of the people on the north side of London, the population of which is three ti mes more numerous than that of the south. Arrangements have been made by which possession has been secured to the Company of a magnificent estate, corn prising upwards of 458 acres of land splendidly timbered, well supplied with water, and commanding picturesqe views of the surrounding country. The property is within five miles of the metropolis, and close to Hornsey village. The Wood Green Station of the Great Northern Railway, ty which the Park will be reached in about 10 or 12 minutes, is on the estate. The Metropolitan Railway, which is advertised to be opened on the Ist October next, will afford direct means of access to the Park from the very heart of London. )n. this estate, which requires very little to develope its aural beauties, it is proposed to inclose a park of about 200 acres, to form gardens and ornamental grounds, and erect such buildings as may be required. About 250 acres of land around the Park will if it theref orshoulde rem ain for first - class building purposes, and prove only half as valuable as the surplus lands of the Crystal Palace Company at, the present time, a profit from this source alone will be realised of upwards of £250,000, thereby enabling the Directors to ret T ur n addition ton to the shathe re holders the wh ole of the paid-up capit acquirement of 200 acres of park land free of cost. The limits of a PrOSpeCMS are insufficient to detail the numerous sources of recreation for the public contemplated by the Company, or the advantages to be afforded to all classes. The prominent features will include Out-door So and Old English Pastimes ; and, our climate being BO variable, a certain amount of amusement under shelter -will insure visitors from disappointment. • The means of combining instruction with amusement will be carefully considered, and a well-selected Library an A pd News Rooni will form part of th Establishment. provisional cont ract is made for - the land at. £183,000, including tke mansion and outbuildings, three entrance lodges, timber, and iron fencing, upon terms highly advan tageous to the shareholders, and extending the period of completion until June, 1864. In the meantime the land may be held on a rental of £5 per acre per annum, inclusive of the occupation of the mansion, which st•class is convertibotel.le im mediately, if dee med expedient, into a fir h In estimating the probable profits to be derived by share holders in this Company, it may be observed that the re ceipts of the Crystal Palace Company exceed L 126 000 a year.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. This DAY.—Morning, 2h. 43m.—Afternoon, 3h. 3m, To-MORROW.-Morning, 3h. 25m.—Afternoon, 3h. 45m LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 1862. If the Italian Minister is outspoken at Turin, so also is the Italian Hero at Corleone. We have now the last Speech he is reported to have delivered, and we have his latest Order of the Day. The Speech comes to us via Turin through the columns of the Discussione. For the Order of the Day we are indebted to the new Imperial organ at Paris, La France, edited by the Count de La GIIER• RONIERE. GARIBALDI'S spoken words are said to have been delivered immediately after his occupa tion of Rocca and of Palunba. And, if correctly re ported, they are certainly as significant and posi tive as any that even GARIBALDI has recently given utterance to. " The present state of affairs," the General is asserted to have declared, " cannot con tinue. I go against the Government, because it will not let me go to Rome. I go against France because she defends the Pope. I will have Rome at any price. Rome or death ! If I succeed so much the better; if not, I will destroy the Italy which I made myself." As GARIBALDI is no brag gart, we are disposed to regard the closing syllables of this discourse to be a perversion of the truth, or at the least an exaggeration. GARIBALDI might with more truth than any man living assert that he himself' "made Italy"—that is to say, such as she now is in her passionate yearning for independence. But, true as it is, it would be unlike GARIBALDI for him to say it. As to his threatened vengeance, it is —whatever else we may say of it—comprehensible. Never hardly has man had greater provocation from all those in whose cause he has fought and into whose hands he has played. Having particularised the Speech addressed by GARIBALDI to his followers, we may now refer more directly to the Order of the Day of which we learn the existence through La France. According to that journal of last evening, (the date of its second appearance) this Order of the Day is superscribed "Head-quarters of the Army of Italian Independence." It announces to GARIBALDI'S troops their approaching departure for Naples, and avows that " great events" are near at hand. Meanwhile, if we turn our glance in the opposite direction, if we look to the latest advices received from Turin, the sayings and doings of GARIBALDI are treated from first to last with something but very little short of ridicule. Listening to the com ments there officially put forth through the Ministe rial press, or in the Chambers through the mouths of the Ministers themselves, never perhaps was a popular leader represented as at once more power less, and at the same time more insensate. Is it rumoured that one of the Royal Regiments has raised a shout of Evviva Garibaldi ? The Minister indignantly pronounces the state ment to be a disgraceful fabrication. Are there whispered about, intimations to the effect that some of the Kiwi's soldiers, and with them one of the KING'S officers, have gone over to the patriot band of the Garibaldians ? The Government hesi tates not, upon the instant, to declare these intima tions to be utterly false, and without one particle of foundation. If we are to judge of what is occurring in Sicily from what is said about it, and written and printed about it, in Turin, the popular movement called for by GARBALDI is virtually at this moment at an end ! The General's followers have already for the most part, either basely deserted him or been summarily dispersed ! GARIBALDI himself—accord ing to the confident declaration of those whose wishes are doubtless father to the assertion thus flagrantly made—instead of leading ever so small a band of adherents to Naples or elsewhere, on the road to the Eternal City, to the cr y of " Rome or Death," is devoting his last remaining energies to his own solitary de parture, almost, we might call it, Flight—to Eng land ! Supposing this rather precipitate statement to prove in the end correct—supposing that GARI BALDI, on finding himself to have been (what almost everybody who is now looking on at these events as a dispassionate spectator is beginning firmly and confidently to believe him to have been) shamefully deceived by " the powers that be," should deter mine to withdraw for a while, not again to Caprera, but for once to England—certain are we that the Hero of Italy would receive an ovation far beyond, in its enthusiasm, even that spontaneous outburst of welcome accorded to KOSSUTH but a few years back, on his arrival upon these shores from Hungary. It does certainly appear to the calm lookers-on here in England that the Ministerial party at Turin are commenting upon the rapid realisation of their wishes rather too confi dently. They may disdainfully talk of GARI BALDI'S present enterprise as a mad project from beginning to end. Yet cannot we for the life of us help recalling to mind that something of the same thing was said of his earlier undertaking. Mad his schemes may appear to be, yet GARIBALDI has con trived to show pretty plainly before now that there is a method in his madness. Besides, it is scarcely to be expected that a man like GARIBALDI, with a personal popularity so immense as that w hich GARIBALDI does most undoubtedly possess, w .. °lll d so very readily be disposed to lung 1113 as as desperate a cause to which he has already s aerified so much, to which he has dedicated his whole fortun ' ets, and his whole being,without any reservation wh eever. Rejoiced at heart, very likely, would be RATTAZZI and his colleagues if this new and more th an wer e audacious enterprise burst,to as they keep o f the Italian Hero t e lling us, mail after mail, that h as already burst like a bubb le. But—that if! Ma i l ail after mail still leaves GARIBALDI in the island boc age of Sicily, in the:neighbour hood of Corleone—a locality described by those who know it to be almost, as One may say impregnable. Ther e, according to our last advisces I from the South, the G eneral is still, surrounded by his armed followers—numbering, according to t h e lowest computation, 501310 800 (the very number of the band that landed with him at Marsala), and, according to other accounts, somewhere about 3,000. There, at any rate, he is known to be, with his trusty followers; and, what ever the RATTAZZI organs may have the effrontery to assert to the contrary, we don't think it i' the least likely that GARIBALDI will take stitch very speedy flight to England, or that the Garibaldians will be so very readily dispersed. Rash, the M q I t.ti-1 - J)R °IT 4 THE SUN. THE SUN, LONDON, MO \IDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1862. Hero's new enterprise appears to all of us mere lookers on, undoubtedly—and rash even to the last degree of rashness. But, if GARIBALDI lacks every thing in the way of disinterestedness—his Honesty, his Guilelessness, his Heroism, are beyond the limits I of exaggeration. Since writing the above this afternoon, another Telegram has just been flashed to us from the Con tinent. It announces the simultaneous outburst of a new rallying-cry among the populace in the North of Italy, and in the South of Italy, at Genoa and in Sicily. "Down with RATAZZI 1" It is significant. Should the cry extend or get echoed North, South, East, West, in the Roman peninsula the Minister will have to thank himself for the diffi culty into which he has blundered. A difficulty it now threatens to be to Signor RATAzzi none the less formidable of its kind, for inasmuch': as this new cry of, "Down with RATAZZI !" is coupled in one quarter with another cry of, " Viva VICTOR Mi lan:rm., and GARIBALDI !" Once, again, fairly identify the interests of the KING and the Hero, and down will go the French Italian Minister! We do not like needlessly to find fault with our courts of justice; but more things have been done lately than usual,.which should hardly be passed over in silence. We have already adverted to FLOOD'S case, con , victed by a Sussex jury of murder without recom mendation to mercy, although the judge hinted that such a recommendation would be attended to : it was also beyond dispute that the man bore an excellent character, and had been driven to half intoxicate himself, and, in that condition, to murder, by a series of regimental brutalities, and by the fear and threat of their renewal from'the person whom he shot. The man cannot be hanged, and if the feeling of the country is to be respected, we may hope that as a lesson to the real authors of the murder, his brutal comrades—he will be punished only for man slaughter. It is singular that Sussex also furnished the jury who acquitted another deliberate mur derer, because, though he killed a man, it was not the man whom he intended to kill. Another case is what, so far as we can judge from the reported evidence, is a most unwarrantable one of admitting to bail. Rape is a crime which every woman, every father, brother, and husband, feel to be hardly second to murder. It was, till very lately, dealt with in the same way. In aggravated cases, it richly deserves hang ing. Yet Mr. WOOLEYCH, however, admits to bail, and on easy terms too, a Mr. JUPP, whom the evidence, as we now have it, both of the police and of the respectable young servant girl, prove to have been guilty of a most violent and suc cessful assault on the girl's honour. If screams, fainting, hysterics, and insensibility were not pre sumptive evidence that Jun , had been guilty of a crime which merits the severest penalties society can inflict, we know not what would be evidence. If the poor girl had been the daughter of a mem ber of Parliament, or of a Bishop, Mr.WooLßYcli's conduct would have been questioned in the House of Lords and the House of Commons ; and the Home Secretary would have been as indignant and active, as when Mr, PILKINOTON, M.P., was garrotted—but a virtuous servant girl is no object of interest, we presume, to elected, or even to Episcopal Legisla tors. The Bishop of OXFORD, who took care of girls of sixteen, might have bethought him of in quiring whether a girl of eighteen was to be thus outraged with impunity, if his father and uncle were willing to pay £lOO a piece, and the criminal him self £2OO, if he left as much behind him. We shall see whether the police will be able to produce him on the day of trial, for it seems incredible that he should produce himself. Another was a case in which, we believe, most readers of the trial think there was a serious failure of justice; nor can we but think the Judge himself as much in error as the jury, and probably the chief cause of their error. General SHIRLEY, he of Bashi-Bazouk reputation in the Crimean war, is the hero on the wrong side of this case—a highly re spectable and well brought-up young woman, se duced by him under a promise of marriage, as she a s serts, is the victim. In cases of breach of promise of marriage, by a perversity inte n d e d sure ly to favour the stronger sex, the parties to the alleged promise cannot be examined—though the parties to suits of infinitely less consequence may be. Hence, a crafty old man of fifty may easily dupe a little suspecting orphan of twenty-three, such as Miss THOMAS was, if he ehoses so to do. That Major- General SHIRLEY did so dupe Miss THOMAS must, we should think, be the impression received by all those who read the evidence, and it was not of a nature, like much evidence, to appear different to a court and to a reader. Miss THOMAS had but very slender means, in deed, but had from seventeen years filled a respec able situation as a governess. She sought another, through Miss MOON, the head of an agency office for governesses, at whose instance she first endeavoured to improve her French at Paris, but afterwards Miss MOON suggested and drew up for her an advertisement, which ran thus—" As Lady Housekeeper.—A young lady is desirous of obtaining an engagement as housekeeper to a widower or single gentleman. She is accom plished, and of ladylike deportment. Address CON STAN CE, care of the Lady Principal of the Musi cal Agency Office, 40, Oxford-street." It seems hardly credible that not only the veteran seducer, but the judge, and we suppose the jury, should see nothing in this advertisement, but a public offer of the advertiser to accept a dishonourable position ; and that though the principal of the institution drew it up herself. Miss MOON had inserted many such advertisements, and it is certain that no re spectable paper would insert what this advertise ment was said to be—an advertisement of prostitu tion. The reason for the preference on the part of Miss THOMAS approved by the principal of the in stitution was, obviously, that it is frequently far more trying to a respectable young Nyman to servo under one of her own sex than under a gentleman. General SHIRLEY refused to produce the letters he had received, which ought to have been a pre sumption against him. But even his own letters, cautiously as they were worded, to our judgment, showed that he had made her promises of marriage, on which a young orphan girl, not suspecting a soldier, entirely relied. She was wholly unaware that he was sepa rated from his wife, and so must even some re spectable neighbours have been, for they at one place received Miss THOMAS as Mrs. SHIRLEY ; it is remarkable that in one letter after he had effected his purpose, when he wanted her to come to his house in the country, and act as his housekeeper, he actually added to the request that she would resum e her own name, for a time at least! An expression which he c ou ld no t h av e use d except to make his lan guage decently square with promises he had made her, There was also the evidence of a young lady, who had heard a conversation which it was planned she shoulo.' hear, and in which the general distinctly spoke of hi s promises to Miss , THOMAS. There was nothing whatever to impeach `--- t hi s e vidence, Has the ge neral not made promises, he knew better at fifty than to confess it, and that in the very act of refusing to keep them. We admit that the chief failure is that caused by the law which refuses the best evidence, but balancing the denial of the Bashi.Bazouk general separated from his wife, against the assertion of an orphan of twenty-three, corroborated by previ ous virtuous character, by Miss MOON'S acts, by her letters, and by the conversation, we could not hesi tate a moment in giving our verdict for the victim. Another naval lesson from America, and again from the Confederates. All of us who take an in terest in public matters—and few are the English men uninterested in their navy—will a second time strain our eyes to the uttermost to see if anything fresh can be learned on the subject of ironsides and steam rams. This time we must look across half the American continent to the Mississippi itself— there for a long time the Federal Fleet of gunboats has been in vain bombarding the city of Vicksburg, and in vain, also, endeavouring by means of a canal across the neck of the Peninsula on which it stands, to cut it off from being a River Port for ever. The river had fallen too much to scour through the canal and change the channel. The consequence is that Vicksburg is still a virgin fortress, and its bat teries, with those of Baton Rouge, one or two hun dred miles below it, command an important section of the Mississippi, quite enough to place the Federal fleets in a rather awkward position. But it is at Vicksburg itself that the feats of the Merrimac have been renewed, and that it has again been shown how far superior the South, considering its smaller mechanical resources, has proved itself to the North. Our readers noticed, probably, the brief account which appeared in The Sun on Saturday, of the exploits of the Arkansas, to-day we extract, from a Chicago paper, much fuller details of the same exploit. The river Yazoo runs into the Mississippi at Vicks burg, and it was up this river that the second Merrimac was fitted out. She appears to have been covered like the Merrimac with a double coating of the best railway iron, her deck low, with portholes only just big enough for the muzzles of the guns, nothing on deck but the " Smoke Stack," anglice, funnel, and not an aperture by which a boarding party could enter, a fact verified by her foes. Her armament was powerful, but it was her invulnerability which made her so dreadful an antagonist. The Federal iron-plated gun boats pitted against her, are only imperfectly pro tected—their plates do not exceed 21 inches in thickness, and they are applied only to those parte which are supposed most to need protection. It was known that the Arkansas was building, though scoffers at such an idea of Southern skill and energy were not wanting. However, three steamers were sent up the Yazoo to reconnoitre. They were just too late. They found the Arkansas ready to steam at them at once, while they could not get back to the main fleet lying off Vicksburg, in time to prepare them for a visit from the new Impregnable. The Queen of the West went ahead of the of her two, but they had not gone above five miles when the Queen was observed coming back " with every pound of steam on," and proclaim ing—" the Arkansas is coming." And coming she was. The Carondelet was the first to encounter her, aided by the Tyler, the third boat. She laid her broadside towards the approaching ship, but the balls were seen to strike and fall harmlessly into the water. Another broadside was given at fifty yards, but with the same result. The Arkansas then ran into the Carondelet's starboard quarter, crushing it, and keeping up a fire of broadsides with pointed shot, which raked her from stem to stern, while the shot of the Carondelet rolled off the Arkansas " like indiarubber balls." Boarding was now tried, but the iron hatches were down and fastened inside. The boarders returned but only to their now sinking vessel; her stem was riddled, the officers' quarters shot away, and at last a steam pipe was cut away by a shot, when many of the men jumped overboard out of the way of the scalding steam. The Arkansas having finished the Carondolet, attended next to the Tyler, which, with her thin sides, had no chance of resisting the enemy's shot ; she fled at once, firing her stern guns into the pursuing Arkansas, and receiving the fire of the bow guns of the latter, till her boats being shot away, and her hull badly injured, they both, pursuer and pursued, came in sight of the whole fleet. The Arkansas must run the gauntlet of this, before she could anchor under the guns of Vicksburg, and she was in no way reluctant to undertake that feat. As it happened, not a vessel in the fleet had steam up, or was in a condition to move. They so lay, also, that a great part of the ships could not use their guns without injuring friends more than the enemy. The ram fleet, which lay at the mouth of Yazoo, forthwith scattered in all directions. On the Arkansas passed, send ing her shot right and left, while the most powerful boats were hindered by the cause just mentioned from returning her fire. At last the Oneida hits her from her eleven-inch gun—the ball drops harmless. Two others fire, but without effect. The Arkansas steams on, doing all the damage she can to gunboats and transport ships, and apparently receiving none herself. The Cin cinnati, the last gunboat in her route to the Vicks burg battery, is anxiously looked to by the fleet ; but she has not steam enough to head the stream ; the Arkansas attacks her, and it was thought that the balls from her rifled parrot guns, at short range, did enter the seemingly invulnerable ship—the other guns produced no effect at all. The Cin cinnati soon got into water too shallow for the Arkansas to follow her, so as it were giving her the parting kick of a broadside, the latter steamed off to her destination at Vicksburg. We do not perhaps learn much that is strictly new from this second splendid naval feat. It was in great part, lik e the former in Hampton Roads, a surprise, but like that it illustrated what an invulnerable could do amongst vulnerables. It is doubted whether the Arkansas received any serious injury at all, but there was no Monitor to en point was p rove d, i c mp oun e t r e f r ec h t e ly r, every defedn b e o d a . t sheo One e ught with being but the possibility of guns' being worked under closed hatches, and with portholes not much larger than their mouths, yet not suffocating the crew with the smoke and gases generated by the gunpowder. It seems that ships may close them selves up, and become like floating armadillos, and yet retain all their powers of offence, and steer where they like with perfect ease. The visit of the Queen to Germany is rendered necessary, to a certain extent, as administratrix to the estate of the late Prince Consort, and it is generally under stood that her Majesty will have a considerable amount of business to transact in that capacity. Arrangements will have to be made with respect to Prince Alfred, the pie sumptive heir to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg, and the in heritor of his father's property in the Duchy. This, with other matters, will, it is expected, fully occupy the time fixed for the Queen to remain on the Continent. —Cour t Journal.

Viewed from any point, masses of colour of every shade, produced by flowers grouped together by thousands, delight the eye on all sides. The great fountains are also now seen to the best advantage, the brilliancy of the flowers giving additional charms to the display. The whol3 aeries will be played to-morrow (Tuesday) at four o'clock. THE TIMES AND THE ZOLLVEREIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sul,—l am a German. I have lived in England for many years, and, partly from my English family con nexions, hive in many ways followed the customs of this country. One of these I found to be skimming over the Times newspaper at breakfast, and the retailing of its pro found wisdom and comprehensive information among those whom one meets during the day, often adhering to the very phraseology of that paper, though mostly preserving as one's own the dicta and verbs of England's tremendous thinking-machine. I confess it was not always easy to comply with this custom; and I might have found the dif ficulties in my way insuperable, had it not been for the praiseworthy example set me by most of the very well -to do and intensely respectable people I had the good fortune to fall in with. At present my mind, lam happy to say, is as Times-bound as theirs. By degrees I have learn dto swear by the Thundner ; lam now as well convinced as any other man of the authenticity of everything which that admirable genius " Our Own Correspondent" reports —I am never shocked at hearing that a would-be (but ab solutely impossible) refutation of one of its statements has been denied space in its columns, The leading articles are my especial delight ; and I thin k myself so well trained that, trusting to my oracle's superior wisdom, it would cost me very little to proclaim to-day as most absurd and wicked the men and the measures which three years or 4hree months ago I glorified and venerated as heroic and virtuous. I have of late two or three times changed my view of Garibaldi—l have altered seven or eight times my estimate of the Ruler of France ; the King of Prussia is to me by turns a repre sentative of liberalism and the champion of right Divine; and, after having declared three weeks ago that Southern rebellion was at an end * and Beauregard a coward, the way in which I can now be heard extolling that com mander, and walking into the Yankees— a people whom I highly esteem and deeply abhor —is entirely satis factory to myself. But it is not enough to admire, we must imitate good example. In short, the laurels of "the leading journal of Europe" let me sleep no longer. I, too, will duly burn my midnight oil, and my lucubrations shall be no less wonder ful than those of the Times. I dare hope to approach that masterly speculation and grand flight of imagination with which that paper has just treated the history and connec tion of the Zollverein, of Germany, of Prussia, of the Austian empire. I have set up correspondent for an influential German paper, and I shall likewise furnish its editors with leading articles on English politics, commerce, and society, Per haps I do not quite understand these things, but that does not matter, as my illustrious example so fully proves. I certainly flatter myself that my articles will, in this moment of international connexions, be of the greatest value in drawing closer the bonds of brotherly esteem, based on a semblance of a mutual study of the nation's circum stances, history, aspirations, and prospects. I shall also not fail, incidentally and of set purpose, to give plentiful advice as to the best mode in which things in genets' had better be managed, and my suggestions proceeding from an accurate knowled€ e, which, I con fidently trust, will be placed on a par with that of the Times, cannot but be well received ix England itself, as well as by English residents in Germany, though it will sometimes be my painful duty to pour the oil of sarcasm over the heads of your benighted countrymen, and to pitifully and patronisingly allude to the very unsatisfactory state in which your country found herself before the repeal of the corn laws, in the days of Old Sarum, and when Caesar per leyed with the'painted Britons. Such gentle reminders and graceful allusions will, no doubt, be found to be in as good taste as the appeal the Imes makes to its older readers, to recollect the former " poverty-stricken " position of Ger many; and such passages, especially when brought for ward during Exhibition times, must, there as here, be thought the very salt of our articles. I believe, Sir—for I have read your paper likewise for some years that you are inclined, however much the clash of noisome discussions may tend in the contrary direction, to uphold the views which in our younger days we proclaimed to the tune of Beranger's (that old sinner's—l mean that inspired poet's) " Sainte Alliance des Peuples." I trust therefore that you will help me in my cosmopoli tan and international undertaking. I trust even the limes —whenever I shall have proved to be successful—may s omeLimes assist me, seeing that from a good understand ing between nations many tangible results may flow, in facilities for railway undertakings, manifold engineering and mining works abroad, and in, similar modes appreciable by the aforesaid respectable public. But to you, who ap pear to me so much less grand or awful, I address myself confidently in the first instance, hoping that you will occa sionally give me the advantage of your advice, and that you will sometimes translate an extract or two from my multi farious and anonymous, but not the less weighty articles. My first leader, then, will speak of the contemplated union of Ireland with the dominions of her Majesty. I shall here briefly dwell on the immense advantages which will accrue to many Irish orange women and flower girls by a market being offered them under the kindly fos tering protection of the Mansion-house and the City police —to a host of navvies who will find on these hospit able shores, work and whisky to the liberality and the enjoyment which may be expected from listening to or reading the amenities of the Secre tary whom the Imperial Government will appoint for that interesting country when the union it has so long hoped for, will, by the help of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, be happily brought about. I mean then to go on to say that very credible information has reached me to the effect that even Scotland wishes to enter into more friendly relations with the Southrons, and that the name of the United King dom will comprise three countries hitherto absardly divided by an insidious, vexatious, and imbecile system of passports and tolls. It will be necessary to mention that some people fear too many Scots will come southwards, and never go back again, but I shall point out that this evil will be counterbalanc e d by the magnificent spectacle of two nations agreeing voluntarily to do away with the mischievous raids and barbarous feuds which have only lately led to the establishment of, or strengthening of, m any border towers, entrusted to so many valiant Arm strongs and Bells, and the chief command over which has b ee n given to the warlike Earl of Carlisle. These, the very towers or forts which figure so largely in the fortification estimates of Lord Palmerston, becoming now superfluous, a considerable sum may happily, and to the great relief of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and of h er Majesty's lieges, be struck off th e annua l expen di ture. Having made this statement, I shall use it for an argument towards a general European disarmament, and then, taking to Pan's pipe, indulge in pleasant reveries and speculations as to the rapidity with which the Cornish language may be expected to spread over the newly-formed United King dom. Can you for a moment doubt, sir, that such au article, evincing in the best manner of my great model, both good sense atid feeling, scrupulously exact and replete with use ful information, can fail to produce an impression fully as favourable on the continent, as did the recent Times leader on Austria, Prussia, and the Zollverein Perhaps I shall in the same article, but I will in the one immediately following, strive to enlighten, and, by the force of example, raise my countrymen in the point of manners, by detailing to them the last improvements which our immortal contemporary, Beau Brummel, has recently invented in the matter of dress and living; and it may probably encourage them in their present constitutional struggles, if we tell them there is grea t h ope the demands of the English barons will all be granted and be handed down to posterity in a document to which the name of the Great Charter is likely to be given. Only help me occasionally by your advice, and you and I, sir, will yet bring to light a series of articles, which, along with those of the Times, shall be conducive, if not to a good, at any rate, to an amusing and jolly international feeling, convertible, indeed, in serious moments, into its very opposite, and thus mutually, in our leading articles, we may help, by a believing public, to lead your country and mine by the nose,—l am, Sir, yours respectfully, (i. 0. * Vide Timm Correspondent from New York after the evacuation of Corinth.

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. —The St. Louis Republican publishes the following outrage committed by the Federal troops :—ln Monroe county, Missouri, near the Salt River Railroad bridge, on Sunday last, as Mr. James M. Lesley and his family were returning home from church, together with a party of young ladies and gentlemen who were visiting them at their country home, they found their dwelling and grounds occupied by Federal troops who had been stationed at the bridge. Suspecting no harm, though finding the grounds guarded, they advanced towards their residence, when Mr. Lasley was ordered to get down and go to Palmyra. He replied that they must permit him to enter the house and get a thicker coat, as he would be absent all night. This they positively denied, telling him the coat he had on would do for him. They then placed him and Jas. Price (a young son of a widow lady) and young Ridgeway, an only son of aged parents, in front of the Federal lines. The young ladies and Mrs. Lasley, with her two children, yet remained on the ground, Having separated these taree gentlemen from the ladies whom they had escorted from church, the officer is command addressed some very insult ing words to them. The dreadful truth that they were to be shot at once flashed across Mrs. Lasley's mind, and she darted to join her huaband and share his fate, bat was caught and held by one of the young ladies present, just as Mr. Lasley and young Prioe fell, having been shot dead. Young Ridgeway rushed into the woods which were near, but delayed his death only a few seconds, for he was pur sued and instantly killed. It is proper further to say that Mr. Lasley had taken the oath of allegiance, and was ender a heavy bond ; that young Ridgeway was also under oath and bond, and that Price was only 15 years of age. Before this Crime was committed it is alleged that the soldiery , ', a d taken possession c,4 Lasley's house —had hel pe d them ;6..vto to everything they wanted—hacl 'partaken of a good dinner which the cook was cdered to prepare for them, and had destroyed many household articles.

Dufaure has been appointed Batonnier of the Advocates of Paris.

The same paper says :—" The departure of vo lunteers from Palermo has almost entirely ceased. Rumours are current that their conduct ha 3 been such as to render them obnoxious to the population. Some of the Volunteers who had left Palermo have returned thither. They had taken their departure under the belief that an understanding existed between the King and Garibaldi, but on being un deceived they returned to their homes." No further news has been received from Sicily. Signor Ratazzi declp,red to-day in Parliament that the statement published by the Agence Continentals in the French papers, that the 45th Regiment on landing at Palermo, shouted " Garibaldi for ever and was in consequence immediately ordered to Ancona, was absolutely false. TURIN, AUG. 10. The Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of yes terday evening, voted the bill granting the conces sion of the Neapolitan Railways to M. Bastogi.

The screw steamship Athenian, Captai❑ Lowry, has arrived with the mails from the West Coast of Africa. She brought 55 passengers, 2,500 oz. of gold, and £1,200 in specie. Her dates are Benin and Nun, June 24th ; Fernando Po, 29th ; Came roons, 30th ; Old Calabar, July 2d ; Brass River, 4th; New Calabar and Bonny, 7th; Lagos, 11th; Accra 13th ; Cape Coast Castle, 14th ; Cape Palmo, 16th; Sierra Leone, 21st:; Bathurst, 25th; Tene rife, 31st; and Madeira, August 2d. Trade was still languid in the rivers. Sickness in the rivers was abating fast ; very few cases of fever took place during the steamer's stay. The following deaths were reported : Mr. William Hearn, of Old Calabar ; Messrs. Snape and Bryden and Mrs. Henry, of Benin ; Mr. Brune, of Fernando Po (drowned); and Mr. William Ellis, chief officer of the screw steamer Retriever. At Benin the natives were most troublesome. During Dr. Henry's absence from his factory they broke into his stores and house, stole his goods, and threatened to illuse and then kill Mrs. Henry. Fortunately a plucky Krooman stood at the door of her room with a pistol in his hand, and swore he would shoot the first man who attempted to cross the threshold. By this means the Kroomae covered Mrs. Henry's retreat, who by this time had escaped out of the back entrance, and ran for miles into the bush, wading up to her waist in mud and water. Towards night she journeyed down to Messrs. Horsfall's factory. The extreme fright caused such a shock to her nervous system that she took fever, accompanied with congestion of the brain, and died four days after. The natives would not even allow Dr. Henry to bury her in the ground appropriated for the graves of white men. It was expected that a gunboat would be despatched up the river to make inquiries into the cause of this serious affair. As the Cameroons trade had stopped since the lst of May, and there is no prospect of its being opened for some time, the price demanded by the natives being most exorbitant. The late differences with the natives of Old Calabar having been for the present arranged., the ships and hulks had returned to their old ancAorage up the river. Trade had been resumed, but still remains much depressed. What with the past two months of inaction in the trade, and the rains having set in, a short supply of oil may be looked for this season. On the 10th of July Accra was visited with a very severe earthquake. The shock lasted two minutes, and the strongest houses rocked and fell down; in fact, all are more or less damaged. The Dutch and Englis forts are almost in ruins, being no longer habitable, and the guns ammunition buried. People are afraid to enter inside of the houses which are lett standing. The Europeans live under tents and small wooden houses. The natives were so ft ightened that they took to drinking ?And making fetish night and day. Several shocks have been felt daily, and even ships lying in the roadstead felt them. The earth openod in several places, and s large fissure was made in the rock close to the fort (English). Only three natives had been killed. There is no news of any importance from other parts of the coast. Health good. Natives quiet. PROPOSED _RECOGNITION O 1 THE SOUT.ELERY GOIVEEDERACY. On Thursday evening a large public meethig Was held in the Assembly-rocm of the Town-hall, Blackburn, to consi der the advantage of recognising the Southern States of America, with a view to bring about an early termination of hostilities. The Mayor presided ;he was supported by e large number of manufacturers and tradesmen. Th e hall was densely crowded. The first resolution deplored the un natural war raging in AmericP., the awful sacrifice of life, and the destruction of property caused by it, as well as the misery it inflicted in the manufacturing districts of England, and expressed the opinion of the meeting that a continuance of the unhappy strife would cause the ruin of both parties to it, and that of the districts depending on the cotton ti ads The resolution was moved by Lieut.-Col. Bowdon, seconded by Mr. J. Johnston, and adopted unanimously and with out discussion. Mr. R. R. Jackson moved the second reso lution. In doing so he advocated an intervention He could cite several parallel cases—Belgium, Turkey, and Greece. There was an intervention in favour of those States, which had resulted in their being declared independent. The last 12 months theyhad passed through would be considered vet/ severe, but they were at the height of prosperity in compari son to the 12 months that were forthcoming. War meant dear bread, dear cheese, dear bacon, but absence of cotton meant enforced idleness and the want of money to buy the commonest necessaries of life. It was impossible for the North to vanquish the South, and a writer in the Times said that the war must be reckoned not by months but bY years ; so that unless the diffigulty was cleared up they would be entirely dependent upon the books of the parish, or they would have to rely upon relief committees- What he desired them to do was to pass the resolution he submitted to them, "that a petition to the Queen be adopted by this meeting and signed by the mayor, praying her Most Gracious Majesty to take immediate measure in coalescing with France and such other Powers as may be willing t° give their co-operation to recognise the independence of the Confederate States of America." The resolution was not re ceived with unqualified approval, there being a strong ex" pression of opinion against it; and an amendment Was moved by Mr. J. C. Fielden, disapproving the policy of in tervention. This amendment was supported by Mr. W' Crossley, but finally withdrawn, end the following rider, moved by Mr. F. Johnston, agreed to :—" That this meet ing recognising the desirability of re; erring all international disputes to impartial arbitration for settlement, respect' fully urges the Government of this country to imme diately co-operate with other European Powers in reconr mending to the contending parties in :America the abode plan as the simplest and most satisfactory method of re storing and re-establishing peace, and in their negotiations_ strongly recommend the a b o liti on o f s l avery. " A vo te of thanks and three cheers having been given to the MaY° 4 the crowded meeting separated in good order. CRYSTAL PALACE.—During the past six days the numbers of visitors have exceeded those of any previolle week since the opening of the Palace, and, as the foreign and provincial excursionists to London for the Exhibitioe increase, it is only reasonable to anticipate that the visitors to the Palace will increase also.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.—A strange accident OC' curred on Monday evening, about six o'clock, as the expre ss train from Glasgow to Carlisle on the Glasgow and. Souk ; Western line was proceeding between Thor n hill and Closeburn. Mr. Jas.

Al most frantic with terr or so' alarm, the elder brother stretched himself as far out of the carriage as he could, and shouted to the engine-driver, vill° on hearing his cries stopped the train, but it was not pt os' to do this till th e spo t where the child had f a llen °II had been passed about half a mile.

Such is Gari baldi's programme, as well as that of the King of Italy's Government. Between those who profess the same purpose, the only difference that can exist is that of the means to be employed ; it is a family question, which I trust may soon be bettlect. The National Guard, whose duty it is to be above every party, must rally round its chiefs and behave with firmness, se that family misunderstandings may not degenerate in a fratricidal war.
