We shall have our appropriate service at Church, and there will be the end of it. It will be very much like other Sundays. The great body of the Noncon formists, however, do not mean that it should be like other Sundays. Precisely two hundred years ago, the KING, Lords, and Commons of that year, by a kind of Cesarian operation, gave birth to what is now English Dissent. It was born, indeed, Pres byterian, but as the governmental system of that Church never took firm root in English soi l, all the apparatus of presbyteries, synods, and assemblies soon dropped off, and Dissent became not a Church, but Churches ; it presented the singular aspect of a vast number of little municipalities or republics, wherever it gathered a congregation, and soon was chiefly known under the denominational names, so familiar to us since the Reform Bill and the late census, of Baptists and Independents. It is singu lar, in this respect, to note the difference between Scotland and England. I n th e f ormer country th e Di ss enters, are very numerous, ind e ed, since the Free Church secession, a l ar ge m a jo r ity, all re tain the form of the State Church they seceded from. Scotch Dissenters, with few exceptions, are Presby terians. With English Dissenters, on the other hand, Episcopalianism is the exception ; all the great bodies, Baptist, Methodist, Independent— reject the system, and nearly always the Prayer Book, of the State Church. This is the more re markable, since the 2,000 who were ejected two hundred years ago were not disinclined to a mode rate Episcopacy, nor did they, like the Scotch, ob ject to a Liturgy, but to the Liturgy, or rather to what they deemed superstitious in it. It might not be difficult to trace the reasons for these apparently singular results. But one, in which the politician must take most interest, is that this great ecclesiastical secession was the safeguard of English liberty. We may, unless indeed we be bigots, we must, regret the hard usage at the time of so many of the best clergy of the Church of England; but whatever injury she did herself by the Act of Uniformity, she created a body of ener getic freedom-loving Englishmen among the middle classes, compelled them to suffer all kinds of hard ships, for what men instinctively feel to be their birthright ; and thus, in forcing them to be dissen ters, she forced them also to study, with the rights of conscience, the civil rights of men also. It was the civil power which enabled the ecclesiastical power to drive these clergymen from their flocks, and to harass both flock and pastor with con venticle acts, and five mile acts, and test and cor poration acts; thus every dissenting chapel became a training school for teaching the great doctrines of civil and religious liberty. How wisely and well they went to work in that study MACAULAY'S immortal chapter on the trial of the seven bishops, and his description of the " auction" at which Papists and Anglicans bid against each other for the aid of the Nonconformists, has taught, we doubt not, most of our readers. Per haps a nobler instance of forbearance and forgive ness of injuries by a large body of men hardly stands on record than that of the English Nonconformists in the time of JAMES 11., refusing to take advantage of their opponents' difficulties, and standing firmly to the fundamental principles of all freedom, when a blind and superstitious despot was prepared to violate them in their favour. They had their reward in the Toleration Act which, poor instal ment of religious liberty, as we regard it in these times of religious equality, was a considerable emancipation for them, and much grudged by their unworthy opponents when the latter again saw themselves in a position of safety. Happily, the Nonconformists had in WILLIAM one of the sin cerest believers in the rights of conscience. How their congregations have multiplied since, how they have become in most boroughs the staunchest sup porters of liberal principles, and how in the number of its worshippers Nonconformity now equals and slightly surpasses those of the State Church, are matters of notoriety. It is not, perhaps, so commonly noticed to what the steady, sober character of Noncon forming liberalism is due. We take it to be due to the fact, that its acknowledged members, as distinguished from the promiscuous and fluctuating congregation, have the entire management of their own affairs. They form a little republic in each chapel. JEFFERSON, the founder of American Democracy, is said to have taken his first cencep tions of thorough-going republicanism from the Baptist Church, of which his father was a member. If so, in applying their principles to the State, he overlooked the fact that the franchise in the Baptist church was not without qualification. Whatever their errors, they lay rather in the direction of too high than too low a moral qualification for admis sion to membership. Early Puritanism, and the Dissen ters, as its successors, gained their name more fre ra their moral and religious strictness than from their d oct • inow:_e:nutitritions of the kingdom, addition doctrines, Had JEFFERSON'S electors tested, probably America would been as carefally it. To this circumstance, to taking part in the however, b ee e e N r v , ha th t a y t e . . they had, even when excluded from parish and municipal m corporations, the manage ment of their own churches, we are inclined to attribute the practical charact er of Dissenting liberalism. Chartism and the extreme for ms of liberalism never found much favour with the political and ecclesiastical su ccessors of the t wo thousand. How strong the political influence of the religious organisation is on those who earn _ pose it, we see in the contrast presented by the Methodists to the older, and we must say more in telligent Dissenters. The Methodist system is one in which the absolutism of an oligarchy of clergy and the submission of the people is complete. Hence there is probably, p ropor ti ona bly, much more Toryism among Methodists than even in the Church of England. To-morrow then, perhaps almost every Dissenting chapel in the Kingdom, will have services appro priate to the historical fact of the ejection of the two thousand. The legendary flaying alive of St. Barth°lemew himself, and the dreadful massacre of RI THE SUN, LONDOII, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1862. the Huguenots on that day by the Church of Rome and CHARLES IX. will be, we may presume, but lightly noticed. The theme will be the one on which we have already had many public lectures in London itself, as well as throughout the country, and on which also a sort of "Bicentuary" literature of tracts and larger volumes has begun to appear. It is perfectly natural that Dissenters should thus do honour to the memory of their forefathers. The attempt to prove that they are not the founders of modern dissent, is historically, an unworthy and futile course. Dissenters have advanced on the notions of their ancestors, as we all have, we may hope, on the notions held two hundred years ago. But they have advanced at least logically and con sistently. The 2,000 refused the service and church created by the State ; they did not perceive it at the time, but assuredly the only consistent consequence of such an act is to deny the right of the State to prescribe a service and church system. Thisally inevitable consequence soon became both logically and practically apparent to them, an d they natu rallytateChurchmen. became not I‘, only, Methodists, Nonconformist s hedis ta, en the but contrary,A nti Anti- State were not turned out. They began with supple menting what they held tobeC ahusrcbhut a defi s c u ie p n p c l e e. supple ment to the C s, and they still regard themselves of England. o Probably r to w be learned from the B a of 1662 is th e f o lly o f A c t s o f Uniformity great t lesson coercion in matters of religion. The he the Church s.d:fy ea Episcopal party of that day got the up perhand, and and improved it by passing an Act, of, which its chief promoter said " we will make them knaves if they conform." Most of what all now generally regard as the deformities of the Prayer book are due to this purpose. The result is ever lasting scruples of conscience and secessions from the Church on the part of good men, like-minded with ,the 2,000, and in the end the existence of a powerful body numerically as strong as the Church, and hostile to it. Could the bishops of that day have foreseen all, they would have let the 2,000 die out in their livings, and concocted a Prayer. book of a simple character, one, at least, more free from the Popish element; while a large amount of freedom would have been preferred to a childishly minute, yet tyrannically rigid uni formity. The result of.the coroner's inquest yesterday upon the bodies of Mr. BARRETT and his two young daughters, who were suffocated on the morning of the 15th instant during the lamentable fire which then broke out in Mr. BARRETT'S dwelling-house near the Marble Arch, must be regarded —as but too often happens with reference to coroner's inquests —as in the highest degree unsatisfactory. After a very careful and lengthened investigation abso lutely nothing whatever comes of it. Witnesses are examined in abundance. All particulars that can in any way bear upon the calamity, either directly or indirectly, are collected together as to a focus—in order to throw as much light as possible upon what was previously dark or doubtful in respect to this melancholy occurrence. The newly elected Coroner, Dr. LANKESTER, shows himself more conspicuously if possible than he has ever before done, to be a man singularly fitted to occupy that responsible post as Mr. WAKLEY'S successor : and this almost equally by reason of his particular aptitude and of his general intelligence. The Jury are patient and watchful throughout the proceedings. Policemen, firemen, escape conductors, insurance agents, do mestic servants, and " medical practitioners" es they are called, meaning the surgeon (Mr. ARCHER), and the physician (Dr. SPURGIN), who were, at the time of the calamity, summoned to the assistance of the deceased—one after another all these various individuals are subjected to avery deliberate and scrupulous examination. And—yet as the upshot of it all—what is the verdict? The value of it is just simply nil. " Accidental death by fire and suffocation, but how and by what means the fire originated there was no evidence to show." Not a syllable more—not one word of ap propriate comment or timely advice ! Not a hint of blame to anyone—though one or two, if not more, must, in honest truth, be pronounced to have been most blameable ! That the cause of any fire is not to be discovered in any given instance cannot, of course, be deemed in any way a matter of surprise. It would at any rate be most unfair to take it as a plea for our reprehending of any man. But when the origin of a catastrophe, like the one now referred to, remains to the last utterly undiscernible, some wholesome moral, some practical result in the way of warning for the future, might at least be de duced from the circumstances of the occurrence. The unfortunate gentleman who perished so miserably with two of his children upon this melancholy occasion—the elder of these children being but " ten," the younger not yet " four" — quite manifestly owed his own death and those of his little daughters to the total loss of what is termed presence of mind. Every reasonable pre caution against fire was seemingly there to guard the household. It was a household to all appear ance singularly orderly in its arrangements. The members of this household had assembled at ten o'clock, according to custom, on the 14th inst., at family prayers. By eleven they had all retired to rest—not, however, until the master of the house had (again according to custom) gone his rounds to see that all was safe. There was a stone staircase, connecting all the floors of the mansion from garret to basement. There were means of escape—through the trap-door in the roof, along the leads and over a parapet. Fire-escapes were there, moreover, within a very few moments after the first alarm was given. According to the evidence of the policeman who gave that alarm scarcely four minutes could have elapsed before Mr. BARRETT, the master of the house, came to the door in answer to the summons. Twice the unfortunate deceased appeared there—at the open street door—once in answer to the policeman, once in answer to the summons of a neighbour—and yet, after all, he and his two children were allowed to perish. Simply because in his confusion (probably to prevent the draft from fanning the conflagration in to greater fury) he had, by a grievous blunder, looked the street door again on the inside. Close to that door his dead body is found, and with it the body of his eldest child —the latter still breathing. They are so close to the door when they are discovered that their bodies have to be moved before the door can be opened. Entrance being first made to effect this movement by the crashing away of one of the panels of the door with a hatchet ! .A means of access to them— from the first—within the reach of the firemen. Yet a means only resorted to when too late, when utterly useless. It is idle to say that the danger of the sufferers was unknown to those outside. The evidence clearly establishing the fact that their all which, th e screams for h e l p were d i st i nct l y au dibl e .

Something more satisfactory, in the way of a conclusion, might surely have come from the Coroner's in quest yesterday, after a dispassionate con sideration of all these facts—something more satisfactory than the utterly valueless verdict ar rived at by the jury. To that verdict, at any rate, a recommendation might reasonably have been appended, enforcing the necessity of a readier use of their hatchets by the firemen, particularly upon the panneliing of doors within which screams are clearly audible—and for the exercise of yet greater promptitude and vigilance on the part of the fire escape conductors in regard to those actually within the range of their sight and hearing, in the very room against the window-ledge of which their " escape" is actually resting. Had either precautionary means been more vigorously adopted on the morning of the fifteenth instant, Mr. BARRETT and his eldest daughter might still have been in existence.

It was the same with Lord Loftus, the Eng lish Ambassador, although he has taken up his residence at Potsdam." We understand that Brevet-Major T. C. Dunbar, of the 75th Regiment, is likely to be selected for the office of Assistant-Inspector of Army Clothing under Colonel Daubeney,— Army and Navy Gazette. ILLNESS OF THE JUDGES AT THE LIVERPOOL ASSIZES.-Mr. Baron Wilde, who since the commencement of the Liverpool assizes has evidently been very unwell, and has been obliged to close the court on several occasions very early in the day, did not appear at all yesterday in the Crown Court. It had been arranged that the Ashton mur der case should be tried in the morning, but at half-past 9 it was announced that his lordship had found himself unable to attend to business, and had gone to London, and the Ashton case was therefore postponed until Monday. Mr. Justice Mellor, who has been sitting in the nisi prius court, was also very unwell yesterday, and did not take his seat on the bench until 10 o'clock, though he had arranged to open the business at 9. THE REPRESENTATION OF STOKE,—The death of Mr. Ricardo has created a vacancy in the representation of the borough of Stoke-on-Trent. On Thursday an invita tion was sent to the Hon. Leveson Gower, formerly mem ber for Stoke, but now member for Bodmin, and who was defeated at the last election by Mr. Copeland. When our information left Stoke no answer had been received. If Mr. Gower consents to stand there is no probability of any con test. If he declines it is probable that Mr. Sergeant Shee will offer himself in the Liberal interest.—Birmingham Daily Post. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The attend ance on the high-priced days now begins to show a tendency to fall off. For the last two or three weeks the numbers on every Friday and Saturday have been going steadily lower, and premise to become still more attenuated as the season advances and visitors leave town. Yesterday the total was only 23,615, of which 5,998 were by season tickets, and 17,617 by payment. After all that has been said on the subject of opening the building on Saturday for a shilling, and the certainty of the beneficial results that would ac crue to the Commissioners' exchequer from such a course, it has at last been decided that no alteration will be made. To the close, therefore, Saturday will remain as now a half crown day, though another month is certain to reduce the payments on such occcasions to a very nominal sum in deed. The London and North-Western Railway Com pany have issued a notice that they are now prepared to make arrangements for the conveyance of bodies of work men and their wives and children, in numbers of not less than 250, to London and back from all parts of their line for a sum as small as Os., and for ss. when the parties are not less than 300. These excursions will be conveyed in special trains, and will be allowed to return on any one day that may be agreed upon, within one week from the date of the ticket. The company will only treat with the heads of firms or persons delegated by them, and will require a certificate that the parties availing themselves of these arrangements are bona fide employed in one establishment, or ara members of the families of workmen employed by the firm. THE DUBLIN AND MEATH RAILWAY.—On Thurs day the Duke of Leinster and Earl Russell and party tra velled by special train over the Dublin and Meath Railway between Dunboyne and Bective stations, returning in the evening from Bective to Dunboyne en route for the Duke of Leinster's seat near Maynooth. The train throughout the two journeys travelled at the rate of 40 miles an hour, and both the Duke and Earl expressed their gratification with the journey. They were accompanied by Richard Bolton, Esq., a director of the company, and Mr. J. Broughton, the general manager. It is fully expected the line will be open for public traffic by the 29th instant.—. Freeman's Journal, COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Thursday evening the express train which leaves London for Manchester at 2.45 p.m., ran into a train of empty carriages, immediately after passing through the Bletchley station. The empty car riages were being shunted at the time. Fortunately, the driver and guard saw the obstacle in front of them and immediately applied the braaks. This had the effect of checking the speed of the passenger train, and proportion ately lessened the force of the collision. As it was, several of the passengers sustained some severe cuts about the head, and were so much shaken and injured as to necessi tate their being left behind. An eye-witness describes the escape as almost miraculous, and due, in a great measure, to the prompt action of the driver and his assistant and the guard. The train was detained for two hours. A CHILD CRUSHED TO DEATH ON THE CHAIRING CROSS RAlLWAY.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Payne held an inquest at Guy's Hospital on the body of George Web ster, a child eight years of age, who was crashed to death on the Charing. cross Railway. From the evidence of Mrs. Bird, of Jane-street, Gravel-lane, Southwark, it appeared that at half-past two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon she was passing the works of the Charing-cross Railway Com pany, near Gravel-lane,when she heard a scream from seve ral children. She went to the place, and there saw the de ceased child fall from between the " bumpers," or wooden projectors, of two railway trucks that were used for the purpose of bringing bricks and other materials on the line, but at the time these trucks were empty. The jury re turned a verdict of " Accidental death." RUNNING TIIE BLOCKADE.—The following is an instance of shrewdness on the part of the blockade•run ning captain, from the New York low nal of Commerce " I have received information that the British steamer Minho, 800 tons, arrived at Nassau from Charleston, S.C., having entered that port with a valuable cargo, intended chiefly for the defence of that city, of which the following memorandum has been furnished me :-5,000 Enfield rifles, 100 tons best water-proof English powder,flve(2oopounders) rifle Whitworth cannon (ordered expressly for the defence of Charleston), a stock of medicine which cost in London £B,OOO, with other cargo of various classes of munitions, Sec., besides which she took from Nassau, " freight free," for the Confederate Government, 50,000 pairs of blankets and a large lot of soldiers' shoes. The Minho, which be • longs to an English house, is said to have cleared this voy age (including 550 bales of cotton, delivered in Nassau on return voyage,and already shipped in London),near 600,000 dollars. THE CASE OF SHOOTING AT ISLEWORTII—On Monday week George Messenger was examined before the magistrates at Breutford, on a charge of causing the death of a young woman named Annie Barnham, by shooting her through the head at Isleworth, Ihe prisoner was proved by the witnesses not to be the man who committed the murder, and suspicion fell on Robert Cooper, alias Baker, alias Charles Copeland, alias Bailey, alias George Barn ham, the reputed husband of the deceased, and a deserter. from various regiments. As ho had absconded a reward of £lOO was offered for his apprehension by Government He was captured last night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, by the police, under the direction of Inspector Foulger, in the Isle of Dogs, where he had been employed as a labourer, and was immediately forwarded to Isleworth for examina tion.

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA Iye, Times, have received the following telegram from our own correspondent at Cork, dated August 22, 6 15 p.m.:- (PEA AUSTRALIAN.) NEW YORK, AUG. 13. General Stonewall Jackson, in command of the Confederate forces in the Valley of the Shenandoah, attacked on Saturday evening last the advanced guard of General Pope's army, under the command of Gen. Banks, at Culpepper Court-house. General Banks held his ground until reinforced by the main army under General Pope. The loss was severe on both sides, amounting to about 3,000 killed and wounded and I,COO prisoners. Both parties claim a victory, but it was at the best a drawn battle, leaving the Confederates in the best position to re new the conflict when it suited them. The New York ,Journal exclaims against General Pope for suffering himself to be taken unawares. Pope himself and his staff narrowly escaped cap ture. General Pope reports that Stonewall Jackson retreated yesterday across the Rapidan. The Confederate ram Arkansas, in attempting to run down the Mississippi from Vicksburg, past Baton Rouge, was attacked by the Federal flotilla. She suffered considerable damage in her machinery and was obliged to run ashore. To save her from capture she was blown up and abandoned by her officers. Baton Rouge was captured.by the Confederates under General Breckinridge. The guerilla warfare continues in the Border States. The Canadian Parliament is summoned to meet on the 28th inst. Gold continues at 14 per cent. premium. The Treasury postage currency for se. (21d.) is to be ready at the end of the week.. QUEENSTOWN, AUG. 22. The Royal Mail steamer Australasian, from New York on the 13th inst., arrived here at 3 40 p,m., with 34 passengers and 389,616 in specie. She landed 83 sacks of mails and five passengers, and proceeded for Liverpool at 355 p.m.; all well. (Per Australasian, via Roche's" Point.) NEW YORK, AUG. 13, MORNING. The Confederates show no signs of attacking Gen. M'Clellan ; they are moving large forces to the south side of the James River. Nothing later from the Virginia Valley since the report of General Jackson retreating across the Rapidan. Rumours are current at Fort Monroe concerning the safety of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Portsmouth. The Confederates have captured independence, Missouri, with a large quantity' f mility stores. Morgan's guerillas have captured Gallatin, Ten nessee. The Southern papers report that the Confederates under Breckinridge had taken Batten Rouge on the 6th, after defeating the Federal forces and cap turing their camp equipage and stores. The Federal General Williams was killed. General Breckinridge afterwards retired to Col lett's River, 10 miles from Baton Rouge, there being n o water between that point and the Mississippi. Southern journals also claim a victory at Taze well, near Cumberland Gap, where the Federals were repulsed with heavy slaughter. The Federal General Phelps has resigned at New Orleans, because General Butler refused to supply arms for equipping negroes. The Confederates have again emphatically re fused the inhabitants of Louisiana permission to trade with New Orleans, The British prize steamer Ladona has arrived at Philadelphia. The Scotia, City of Baltimore, and Bavaria have arrived out. PARIS, AUG. 22. The Paris journals of this evening say, orders have been sent to the squadron of evolution in the Mediterranean to return to Toulon, where it will remain at the dispoaiticn of the Government. The reason for this order is the state of affairs in Italy. The Constitutionne/of this evening, in an article signed by its chief editor, M. Limayrac, maintains that the pressing interest of Italy is to subdue extreme revolution. "The possession of Rome, or even of Venice," continues the article, " would not restore tranquillity, and it is the duty of Italian statesmen to persist in the energetic policy they have adopted. TURIN, AUG. 22. The Official Gazette of to-day publishes the fol lowing report, addressed by the Ministry to the King : " General Garibaldi has raised the standard of rebellion. Your Majesty's name and that of Italy serve only to veil the intentions of European demagogy. The cries of Rome or Death !' are senseless insults to our glorious ally, and retard the only possible accomplishment of our unanimous wishes. As General Garibaldi remains deaf to your voice, and unmoved by the thought of lighting up civil war, energetic action has become necessary. The rebellion of Garibaldi imposes upon us the ne cessity of treating the country occupied by volun teers as a country occupied or threatened by an enemy. We, therefore, advise ycur Majesty to proclaim a state of siege. The Ministry accept the responsibility of this measure." The Discussiotze of to-day says : " Some Italian cruisers have captured in Cata nian waters a foreign vessel laden with arms. The Royal troops have assembled in considerable force near Catania." TURIN, AUG. 22. The Turin papers of to-day state th a t a m ilit ar y force consisting of 60 battalions of infantry, 11 bat teries of artillery, and three regiments of cavalry, will shortly be assembled in Sicily, under the com mand of General Cialdini. 1 SERVIA. The Presse states that another conference on the affairs of Servia was held at Constantinople on the 13th inst. The representatives of France, England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia were present. The discussion was of considerable length, but the diffe rent Powers are not yet completely in accord on the Servian question. It was agreed, however, that the fortress of Belgrade shall be occupied by a Turkish garrison ; and it is hoped that, by mutual concessions, an early and peaceable settlement of the question may be obtained. The fortresses that are not indispensable for the defence of the line of the Danube are to be demolished. FRANCE.

CO3 75 THE KINGDOM OF ITALY. The following is the protest made in the name of his Majesty Francis 11. against the recognition of the King of Italy by Russia : " Rome, Tilly 1, 1862. " Excellency,—The news published in_ all the journals of Europe mentions as having been con cluded an arrangement in virtue of which his Ma jesty the Emperor of All the Russias recognises the title of the King of Italy in the King of Sardinia. "If, as the fact would make one suppose, that assertion is true, his Majesty our lord wishes your excellency to protest in his Royal name against an act which sanctions in a certain manner the usur pation of his states and the iniquitous spoliation of his rights, His Majesty having no force to rely upon but that of justice, is not the the less decided to preserve intact for the future his rights and those of his people. •' His Majesty ought not to conceal his opinion, that of all the nations that have made or could make such a concession to triumphant revolution, the last from which he had reason to apprehend such con• duct was Russia. " The extent of that empire, its resources, the dis tance which separates it from Italy, do not permit foreign influence to exercise any pressure upon its government, whilst being under the sway of an ab solute monarch it is not, like other powers, under the necessity of yielding from a forced condescen sion to the interior pressure of Chambers. " The acts of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg ap peared to correspond completely with these ideas and with its poAtion in Europe. The Emperor of Russia was the first sovereign who, on learning the news of the unheard-of offences committed by the Sardinian government in the centre and in the south of Italy, as became his dignity and his character, condemned in the most complete manner the ag gressions of Piedmont by immediately recalling his legation from Turin and ceasing to have any rela tions whatever with a government which, inspired by a desire for illegitimate aggrandisement, broke all treaties, violated all rights, and at once showed itself to be the slave and the accomplice of Euro pean revolution. " These precedents inspired the King with the most unlimited confidence in the policy of Russia, which was augmented by a personal, and, to speak with greater precision, a dynastic consideration. No person is ignorant of the strict bonds of intimacy and friendship which united the two last Sovereigns of Russia and the Two Sicilies, and all the world could witness, that, during the critical vicissitudes of the war in the Crimea, King Ferdinand, placed almost in the path of the allied powers, urged to join them by their natural and incessant exigencies, preferred risking the enmity of two great and victorious powers to departing from the most strict neutrality, and permitting in his states the least act to be done to the prejudice of the noble monarch whom he called his friend. No reason of political convenience could sway the King from his good faith. The consequences were soon manifested—the recall of the legations of France and England, the attitude of the two powers in the Italian conflict, and the departure of the dynasty of the Two Sicilies cannot be considered unconnected with the loyal conduct of King Ferdinand during the war in the Crimea. " Whatever may be the reason which may have decided the Imperial Government to depart from its traditions, to renounce its policy, to forget its precedents, to consider as proper and honest one day what it judged to be prejudicial and iniquitous the day before—all this remains a mystery to the King, the more impenetrable as the condition of Italy has not changed its character, and as the work of revo lution does not appear more durable to day than it did yesterday. Discontent and misery everywhere, extreme parties menacing and hostile, the civil war which for the last two years has desolated the Neapolitan provinces, blood shed in torrents, and the destruction of the unarmed population—these cannot have afforded reasons for the determination of Russia to adopt this unexpected resolution. " But the King—whatever may be his situation, decided and resigned to all, undoubtedly confiding in the future and in Providence—feels that his duty imposes on him the task of :preserving at whatever cost his rights, those of his successors, and of his people—for this purpose charges your excellency to protest in his Royal name, and to read and give a copy of the present despatch to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. "LEOPOLD DEL RE, "Minister Secretary of State, charged with the portfolio of Foreign Af fairs of his Sicilian Majesty. "His Excellency the Chevalier G. C. Diregina, &c., St. Petersburgh." CIM'3IO.RNE GARDENS. DINNER TO MR. E. T. SMITH. Last night a numerous company of gentlemen, representing almost every class and phase of Eng lish society, metropolitan and provincial, assembled in one of the largest rooms of the Cremorne Hotel, for the purpose of expressing their sympathy with Mr. E. T_ Smith, proprietor of the Cremorne Gar dens, on the severe illness he has lately passed through, and at the same time to make up, as far as they were personally able, for the unavoidable and unfortunate circumstance of two " benefits" having taken place on evenings when rain, light ning, and thunder prevented the usual large atten dance at the gardens. Mr. 'EDWARD HUGGINS, the eminent brewer, oc cupied the chair, and after the removal of the cloth, and the usual routine toasts, he stated the object of the meeting, and his warm, sincere, and un affected sympathy in that object. They all knew, as well as he did,the worthiness, the indefatigable spirit, the generosity—the free, frank, courteous spirit in which Mr. Smith carried out every enter prise upon which he embarked. (Cheers.) They likewise knew the gloom and sorrow he had lately experienced, and that, too, when he had just embarked in the working of a large esta blishment, which, looking to its extent and its varied attractions, was undoubtedly the greatest and the most perfect of its kind in the world. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Smith had been long known to him in his private as well as his public capacity. In the latter there were, he was happy to see, many gentlemen who could testify with himself to the striet manner in which he fulfilled every engage ment, and to the ability with which he bore every burden he took upon his shoulders, either there or elsewhere. (Cheers.) In the midst of difficulties which would have broken any other man's heart, he always met them with a noble spirit ; that which would have crushed any other man only buoyed him up—(cheers)—and he trusted that as an old friend and their representative on the occasion, the company would allow him to take Mr. Smith by the haed, express their sympathy with him in his illness, their regret that the season had not been more prosperous, and to expr ess their heartfelt and cordial wishes for his health, happi ness, and prosperity. m r t ' was be o e u n by' Im l i l th e ,s t osapsetecwhasi,notfi acknowledgment ( d i duly honoured, and dl Mr. ap plauded.

His Lord , ship returned yesterday to the Royal Marine Hotel, stated that his sudden departure has been occasioned by urgent despatches relating to Italy, which re quire his imme hate presence in London. He en joyed a number of excursions to the beautiful Wicklow scenery during his sojourn at Bray. The Tuscarora again arrived in Kingstown har bour on Thursday night, at 1 30 p.m., after having got in 100 tons of coals in the Belfast Lough. An official communication passed yesterday between the commander of her Majesty's ship Ajax and the captain of the Tuscarora, which was soon after followed by an order for her departure in 24 hours. She was expected to have sailed this morning for the coast of Spain ; her destination is said to be Gibraltar, but little reliance can be placed on the statements made as to the movements of this vessel, as they are kept a profound secret, lest her plans should be frustrated. Her com mander, Captain Craven, has been admitted a member of the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ire land. The convict Herdman was removed from Belfast to Dublin yesterday, en route to Spike Island. He wore the gray dress of the convicts, and looked much worn and emaciated. His son, a boy, took leave of the unfortunate man, and the parting was distressing to witness. His wife, through whose exertions mainly it is owing that he will not be banged, accompanied him in the steamer to Dublin. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY AND ,LeXCIIINO .PU.RSUIT. Last Thursday evening, a robbery of gold and silver watches to the number of eight or ten, was effected on tho premises of Mr. Edward Mills, watchmaker, Oldjetty-road. The robbery was followed by the apprehension of the sup posed thieves within an hour afterwards, and with the ex ception of one of them who gave the police an extraordi nary chase over some house tops, and was not captured until nearly five o'clock this morning. Two of the watches were found secreted in a house occupied by ono of the prisoners. From inquiries we have made the par ticulars of the robbery appear to be as follows :--Between eight and half-past eight o'clock last evening while Mrs. Mills and her daughter were sitting in a room immediately behind the shop, the door of which was open, they observed a man leaning against the front door post, but took little or no notice of hina as they supposed it was Mr. Mills on his return from chapel. Within half an hour Mr. Mills came home, and on the circumstance being stated to him his suspicions were ex cited, and on examining the shop window he found that the watches usually hanging there, to the number of about eight or ten, had been taken. The robbery must have been perpetrated by an experienced hand, for though Mrs. Mills and her daughter were sitting within less than three yards of the front door—the shop not being more than six feet deep—and had a full view of the shop, either through the room door, which is opposite that leading into the street, or through a large window in the partition, which partially flung the light of the apartment into the shop, they neither saw anyone enter,or heard anynoise on the premises. In fact both sat within two yards of the thief or thieves at the time the watches were being disengaged from the hooks. It is rather a curious circumstance that Miss Mills was preparing her mother at the time for something unusual that was to hap pen, from the fact of a dream the previous night, which strongly impressed her imagination with the idea of danger. Information of the robbery having been conveyed to the police, those clever detectives, Sergeants Berry and Barnes, wore at once despatched to ferret out the perpetrators. From inquiries made, they ascertained that a number of notorious thieves, several of whom had run the gauntlet of the Quarter Sessions, were seen lurking about in the neigh hood during the evening. They therefore went in pursuit of the gang, and first paid a visit to a house in Row 25, where one of them named Hindle, alias Douglas, lived with a well known professional thief named Emma Richmond. After knocking for some time they were at last admitted, and stated that they came in search of some stolen watches which they suspected were concealed in the house. She, of course, denied that there was anything of the kind in the house, The officers then made search, and having examined down stairs next commenced above. Berry turned his bull's-eye up the chimney, and looking up perceived some appearance of the bricks having been disturbed. "Halloo," said he, we have got something here, on which the woman gave a shriek of alarm. He pulled out a loose brick, and putting his hand into the hole drew from it a couple of rags, and next a geld lever and a silver lever watch, both of which were going at the time. Leaving an officer in charge of Richmond, they next went to the Prin cess Charlotte public house, where they captured Elvin, another of the gang, who was, at the last Norwich Assizes, tried on a charge of highway robbery. Having made over Elvin to another officer, they next went to the house of another of the gang named Newson, whom they found in the act of going to bed. They next went in pur suit of Hindle, but could find nothing of him. They, how ever, observed a notorious character named Cockerel, spy ing about, and suspecting that he was sent out as a scout on the watch, proceeded after a while to his house in the Conge. After a good deal of difficulty and threatening to break open the door, they obtained an entrance, Mrs. Cockerel assuring them that there was no one in the house but her self, and " did they want to disturb a lone woman!" They, however, found Cockerel in the bed-room, and Berry, on looking about perceived a quantity of fresh soot in the fire place. He turned his lantern up the chimney, where he perceived his man snugly ensconced in the soot. As he refused to come down the officer lighted some brown paper to smoke him out, which had the effect of driving him up into the aperture, until its narrowness prevented further progress. As he was now firmly embedded and ran some risk of suffocation he struggled desperately, and at last broke a hole through, by which ho escaped into an adjoining attic. Berry made a hole in the ceiling, and actually caught the fellow's leg, but Hindle released himself by dealing the officer a violent blow on the hand with some weapon, apparently a poker, and next tore his way through the ceiling and got on the roof, on which, having his boots off, he ran about with the agility of a cat, and gave the police who attempted to follow him by means of ladders, an excit ing chase of three or four hours, keeping them at bay by stripping off the tiles and hurling them on their heads, One of these missiles struck police-constable Brown on the head and cut him fearfully,and it is surprising that more mischief was not done, as an immense crowd of men and women, awakened by the unusual hubbub, were collected in the streets below. The police at last got on the roof, and pur suing the fellow very closely, he leaped across the row, a distance, we are told, of nearly 15ft., down on the roof of a house opposite, on which he alighted with such force that his leg went through, maiming him to such an extent as to considerably impede him in his further gambols. Ladders were again obtained, and Hindle being now closely beset by the police on either side, and driven for refuge against a chimney stack, at last fairly surrendered to Ser geant Berry, after an exciting chase of four hours. He was soon transferred to terra firma, where he presented a highly-coloured appearance, from having Leon embedded in the chimney, and was marched to the station, followed by an immense concourse of people who had witnessed the pursuit. Cockerel was also taken into custody. Richmond, Elvin, Hindle, Newson, and Cockerel, were brought before the magistrates this morning, and remanded until Thursday, on the charge. The two watches are, we understand, fully identified by Mr. Mills as part of the missing property, the gold lever being worth 420, and the silver about £6.—Yarmouth Independent. SHIPPING-THIS DAY.
