LIVESEY.--Isaac Howard, late sexton of St. Philip's burial ground, Shef field, has since his conviction made a statement exonerat ing tho Rev, J. Livesey from the imputations contained in his former allegations. ll oward admits that he alone is respons ibl e for the removal of bodies in the burial ground, and that he had ramoved them becins e it saved him labour, the section desecre.ted being more easily worked than the harder soil of other portions. As to dissected bodies, he declares that no burial service had ever been read over them for the last 30 years, and yet both incumbents and curates conmeeted with the cemetery had always granted certificates ~of burial in the same form as those granted by Mr. tivoey. —Leeds Mercury. RATAZZI'S doom as Prime Minister of Italy—we may be certain of this—is sealed. It is merely a question as to a little sooner or a little later. But to suppose for one single instant that anything so paltry, so utterly despicable as the policy recently adventured upon by that creature of the French EMPEROR can fail to bring the former to disgrace is not to be imagined. What are the simple facts P That GARIBALDI was summoned from his seclusion at Caprera. That he was authorised to reorganise the rifle corps throughout the Roman peninsula. That immediately after his arrival at Palermo he is seated at the side of the young Princes at a public banquet: as if in distinct declaration that he a nd the Government were yet of one accord—that there was a complete identity of feeling and opinion between the Hero and his Sovereign. It is literally as if a pitfall had been carefully dug for the Lion Heart at—Corleone ! A pitfall deceptively strewn over with—laurels ! Towards this meanly-prepared trap, however, GARIBALDI has been, for a long while past, on one side carefully lured by the speci ous affectation of complicity in his designs ob truded upon his unsuspecting nature by the Go vernment: and towards it, on the other hand, he has been painfully goaded by the irritating antagonism to all his hopes and aspirations manifested from first to last by VICTOR EMMANUEL'S imperial ally. The deception practised upon GARIBALDI by the RATAZZI administration is a fact notorious and transparent. It will be RATAZZI'S NEMESIS. The recognition of it is already beginning to tell upo n the Italian multitude. They regard it with mingled feelings of scorn and indignation. Their love for GARIBALDI is now becoming fast intensified with pity. They abhor not unnaturally the shame ful duplicity which has been thus practised upon a man se pre-eminently simple and magnanimous. Their cries of "Down with RATAzzi "—wherever they have been raised (and they have already been raised at the same time, at parts widely separated from each other)—if they have not been loud, have at any rate been deep, and from the inmost hearts of the multitude at Palermo and at Florence ! CAVOUR—the people of Italy think (and with reason)—would never have condescended to a policy like this; a policy of pretence and double-dealing. He never would have paltered thus with the truth ful and honest nature of GARIBALDI. He would never have encouraged him in the indulgence of false hopes, merely to place him abruptly, when the evil hour had struck, at a disadvantage so cruel as to amount almost to a personal degradation. CATGIJR would have despised so pitiable a pro gramme. And hardly less certain is it that it would have been absolutely the same with RICASOLI. But seemingly, for RATAZZI, the whole scheme has possessed a sin gular and especial fascination. It has apparently been, throughout, congenial to his whole intellect and temperament. And apparently, also, for the time being, it gives promise of proving—successful! Successful, that is, in the Ministerial interpretation now given to the word at Turin. Not otherwise, we may absolutely rest assured. So far, indeed, from being—as Signor RATTAZZI doubtless flatters him self it will be—permanently successful; it must prove, on the contrary, in the end, the most dis astrous line of proceeding for himself that he, as Italian Prime Minister could possibly have entered upon ! His object—so far as it can in any way at all be divined—has clearly been to tempt GARI BALDI on to his destruction. Doing this by in flaming the Hero's very natural confidence in his own capacity, while backed by the nation, to triumph over all obstacles—no matter how appa rently overwhelming. So far he has unques tionably fulfilled his design. It is now long since the day when GARIBALDI could, with reason, de clare, in regard to this his latest and most daring enterprize Alea jacta est. The signal for the new Garibaldian movement was given in the very first of those audacious speeches delivered by the General during July at Palermo. It has been reiterated—this signal—since then, again and again. The reprimand given to the Prefect of the Sicilian capital, the acceptance of that Prefect's resignation, the dismissal of the Syndic of Marsala, the anti- Garibaldian speeches of the KING'S Ministers in the Chamber of Deputies at Turin, finally—and, accordingly as the document is viewed from the right or the left, by friend or foe, either too late or too early—the Royal Proclamation issued at the instance of RATAZZI, and in the name of King Vic- TOR EMMANUEL—aII those incidents have, of course, been very recently:indicating to the Great Adven turer quite plainly how little he could look for in support of his project at the hands of the Govern ment. That Government that—having led him onward so far—insidiously turned against him when he had fairly committed his name, his fame, his reputation, the ambition of his life to the chances of another popular rising under his banners in the cause of Italian Independence. Co ntradictory "mtradiotory as the tidings from Italy have been f rom day to day during the past week or fort night t4 aan y 4:e . l are now in every way more contradic t t is asserted in one and the same a(+ last advices from Turin, that breath now, b y til the Garibaldians are already dispersed or are dispersing , an d 1 5 t that the reshirted recruits t h a t numbered yesterday (according to all we could lear n about " from 3,000 !

At the same time there reaches us the telegraphic intimation, that a new inter view (after so long an estrangement !) has, within last few days, taken place between Signor MAZZINI and General GARIBALDI. This interview being the almost inevitable sequel, as one may say, of the royal declaration against GARIBALDI, pronounced in the presence of all Italy, nay, of all Europe, by King VICTOR EMMANUEL.

Can any one seriously believe that it is simply to the end that the life long and dearly-cherished aspiration of those two men, the Conspirator and the Conqueror, the Libera tor and the would-be Liberator—can any one in reason suppose (remembering what has been the career of MAZZINI, and what the career of GARI BALDI !) that Captain PEN and Captain SWORD have met together at this momentous juncture simply to throw up as altogether hopeless (even for the time being) the darling desire, the passionate aspiration of their lives. MAZZINI, it is true, is reported to have returned to Malta immediately upon the close of his interview with GARIBALDI. It is like him. But—even with regard to a man like MAZZlNl—there is an obviously possible appli cability here of that astute policy reculler pour mieux saute?. ! And, with regard to GARIBALDI— whiIe no doubt there is still a talk of his whole enterprise having come to an end and of his armed followers having been actually dispersed—it is yet manifest that he himself yet remained in Sicily, and with him in those Sicilian woodlands not less than about 3,000 devoted adherents. Again—we can but wait. Certain that, whatever else occurs, tothe h e ltaly lebs of t u o RATAZZI and his colleague will meet with their deserved retribution. Hopeful still, through go o d and evil report, that i t t heo u t best detrim e nt interests maybe portion advanced—without v t a h l l e ced— heroich fame of GARIBALDI. Lord PALMERSTON, the proper hero of the Shef field b an quet, hardly received from u s th e no ti c e he deserved, occupied as we were with the important avowals of Mr. ROEBUCK. Yet, if we mistake not, his visit to Sheffield was really a political move of no little consequence. But a week before he had received a severe drubbing from both sides of the House, which he bore with his usual good nature, and confidence in the popularity of his policy as a whole. His assailants also made a great mistake in filling their speeches with accusations merely. Surely, he had some good points which must have something to do with his popularity as a Minister. Still, the object of the two schoolmasters seemed likely to be in a measure obtained. They dismissed their veteran pupil to his holidays with the reputa tion of having had a severe birching from two of the upper masters just before school broke up. What does the scholar do, but use the first day of the holidays to wipe all out of memory as com pletely as if it never occurred. The Sheffield fete is Lord PALMERSTON'S answer to both Mr. COBDEN and Mr. DISRAELI. There he could and did beat them both completely. "He is said to be popular," observed Mr. COBDEN ; Sheffield, by thousands of all classes, replied, Yes, he is in deed popular ; popular in the technical sense of the term, for they were all the people, the very plebs, who cheered for PALMERSTON till the tall chimneys vibrated with the sound. He does not care about the working man, insinuated the orator, who be stows green coats with plated buttons on prize peasants at agricultural shows—and the working men of Sheffield reply by pushing aside the muni cipal magnates on the railway platform, who good temperedly submit, while the horny hands are thrust forth to get hold of Lord PALMERSTON'S, who does not loose them till they can carry away the story that they never had a. heartier shake of 1 the hands before. And then, as to the grave charge of his costly pugnacity, the Mayor of the town, in proposing his health, represented himself as one of those who " would never begrudge the voting of any sums, however large, which are necessary to place the commercial interests of the country on a safe footing, and to maintain the honour and inde pendence of our shores." What was this but a sly glance at Messrs. COBDEN and DISRAELI, and say ing, in other words, PALMERSTON, with income tax, and seventy millions if you like, but PALMER- STON anyhow. To be sure, Mr. MAYOR had something to do with receiving irom, as well as payiug tu, tLc iu• come-tax. We do not mean to insinuate that Mr. MAYOR does not earn well every penny he receives back. Sheffield is, however, one of the places which get their share of the advantage of the new necessity of building ironsides. The very next morning, we find Lord PALMERSTON and the com pany visiting his worship's "Atlas Steel and Spring Works ;" and a part of the works in progress was rolling immense plates of iron for the sides of future Warriors; not less than a hundred tons a week were being manufactured at this very time, and arrange ments were in progress to quadruple that number. In this factory were employed two thousand hands; how many will it soon employ ? Casting of cannon diversified the solid entertainment, and of course, the premier left an armour plate and gun factory pleasing and pleased. Those two thousand work - - men would, to a man, give their votes for PALMER ston, if they had them ; and it is clear they would not need the protection of the ballot, to save them from the consequences of any unpleasant difference on that point, from their employer. As to the banquet, who ever knew Lord PALMER STON fail on such an occasion ? He had, of course, a pleasant speech for everybody. The Premier whom the Tories, we are told, prefer in the house of Commons, as more serviceable to them than their own leader, had a hearty good word for the two Radical members and the Radical electors, compli menting both in one breath, describing their two members as themselves sufficient proofs of the "sound judgment and discrimination of the people of Sheffield." The electors were men who have chosen "two of the most honourable, the most dis- tinguished, and most patriotic members of the House of Commons—two members eminently British and English in their feelings and in their conduct." His lordship declared himself prouder of the applause of a constituency which had chosen such men. The masters," who had made princely fortunes," the " sturdy and honest working classes the strength and stamina of their country," "specimens of the stubborn, manly honourable Englishman," "the admiration of all who came among us"—all classes came in for their share of praise from the Premier-Laureate; and, not least of all, we may be sure the ladies would have ample evidence that seventy eight summers make no difference in the years of a genuine Cupid. The steel and iron and armour plates of Sheffield, and the Armstrong guns themselves, were appropriately enough pressed into the service of doing honour to the impossibility of resisting the charms of the ladies of Sheffield. Perhaps the two schoolmasters of the previous week would exclaim that all this was mere " bosh," though we think Mr. COBDEN'S natural good humour must have shown itself in smiles had he " been there to see ;" and Mr. DISRAELI himself va o r u i ldhave had difficulty in maintaining the in- Vari a bleness of his phy s io g nomy. But, unluckily for L o rd PALMERSTO N ' S p o liti ca l fo e s, the English public, g i ve votes to suc h " b os h" as t hi s . Th ey instincti vely discern the temperament beneath it all, and th ey like it, little they vote for it. They do not mind payi ng a a,lord, d more to have a man, who, at the distance of has a perfect fellow feeling with them in the .entiment most plea sant gain position hire mightif illse itA too werenLo it could a l r d . ,G,rti Ag ph t st o lgo t oN h o e Ed m , sf . e l l o w Whatj., ,abilities If be and M r , -t- butl:augh, joke, and be one, for the occasion, in merriment with everybody, hew different would be their acceptance with the country and with . the House of Commons too. The high merits of Mr. COBDEN and and Mr. GLADSTONE are, doubtless, thoroughly appreciated by all intelligent English men ; yet they will like a merry Premier, who saddles them with £70,000,000 a-year, just as they would like the •' Merry Monarch," who was always in debt, and that for anything but the defences of his Country. COBDEN and GLADSTONE are right, they say, but we like the merry old lord, and keep him we must, let him cost us what he may. Mr. DISRAELI, then, has, as we believe, lost all at Sheffield. The ovation there, so promptly ex temporised—so promptly accepted—so heartily and cheerily gone through by the Premier, will give its colour to the recess of the noble lord. The lectures will be forgotten—the enthusiasm of the populace and their masters, and the heartiness with which it was met will be remembered. Every where the Premier will be applauded; and he has only not to let his head get turned, as it once was with the hundred majority, and all the arts of the members for Bucks will be unable to throw him from the saddle. Very uneasy Mr. DISRAELI always is in Opposition, but he cannot muster his own party to upset a man so useful to them as Lord PALMERSTON, and at the same time so acceptable to the people. We ought not, however, while noticing the non-political causes of Lord PALMERSTON'S gene ral acceptance to omit, that his Foreign policy is assuredly as gratifying to the people generally, as that of Mr. DISRAELI is odious. The English public will never endure a man whose best bid for office is antagonism to the Unity of Italy, and attachment to the temporal Rule of the POPE. They regard Lord PALMERSTON as the exponent of their sympathies with Roman and Italian rights, and resent the transparent cunning of bidding for the support of Irish Priests by sacrificing the liberties of the Catholics of Rome, and for that of the Radicals by proffers of economy which he and his certainly did not prac tise while they were in office. Mr. DISRAELI must comfort himself, for the holidays, with bestowing green-coat honours on prize peasants. It is earnestly to be hoped that England and Canada may, without any unnecessary delay in the way of idle discussion, come to some satisfactory understanding as to what has latterly been threat ening to foster between them something very much like an estrangement. How best to insure the safety of Canada from invasion " That is the Question !" And it is a question surely that admits of being answered, without very much difficulty, and to the satisfaction alike of the Canadian Govern ment and of the Imperial Government at home. The latter does not, of course, look to the Canadians themselves, numbering in all merely from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000, to fortify every weak point on a boundary line extending along a distance of some 600 miles altogether. Neither does it expect the Canadians unassisted to secure themselves from the possibility of any sudden danger in the shape of invasion from a race of Anglo-American democrats, numbering not, like the Canadians, from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000, but, at a very moderate computation, from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000! It would be as absurd for the imperial government here at home to look to the Canadian government for the accomplish ment of all these marvels, or rather let us call them plainly so at once, all these impossibilities —as it would be absurd for Canada to look to England to do alone in this matter what Canada and England ought in reason to do together. The defence of the southern frontier-line of Canada ought to be looked to by the local and Imperial Government together. In , carrying out that abso lutely essential enterprise, there ought to be a ra tional reciprocation of efforts and of responsibilities. To apply the phrase not irreverently, when dwindled down from the infinite to the finite—as Christian philosophers have said, Aide toi et Dieu t'aidera, so might England now echo a kindred thought to the Canadians. If only Canada will but acquit herself of the manifest duty devolving upon her, she will find no lack of reasonable assist ance from England in carrying out the design for the completion of the great work of defence already partially accomplished by Nature) along her southern boundary. Mr. COBDEN, we will admit, appeared to us very considez ably to have exaggerated, the other day, the extent to which annually, for a season along those frontiers— " Winter barricades the realms of frost I" Still, to an extraordinary extent, during four or five months the work of defence is thus already, for the most part, naturally accomplished. All that England and Canada, together, will have to see to, between them, for the completion of the work, will a pply almost wholly to the remaining part of each twelvemonth. Annually there will come therefore that welcome relaxation of the har monized efforts we are all looking now to see com menced in veritable earnest Let the Canadians, to this good end, just to begin with, take a hint from our Rifle Volunteers! The Earl and Countess Russell, family, and suite, arrived at Kingstown, per the Ulster, at 6 o'clock on Saturday evening, and proceeded to Breslin's Marine Hotel, Bray, where they purpose sojourning for some weeks. The noble earl received despatches on Sunday morning from the Foreign-office. The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford have left town for Germany. The Earl and Countess of Yarborough have left town for their seat, Brocklesby Park, Ulceby, Lincolnshire. The Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewis, M. 1 ),, and Lady Theresa Lewis and Miss Lister leave town to-day for Harpton Court, Radnorshire. The Right Hon. W.

Mr. Sanford, United States Minister to Brussels, has arrived at the Clarendon Hotel from New York. Mr. Gladstone has aceepted an invitation to visit Newcastle and attend a banquet provided by the in• habitants. He has named, as the most convenient day for his visit, the 7th of October next. A TIME OF TAXATION.—The 2d of August hav ing been fixed as the intended commencement of the new era of taxation in the Federal States, the papers have been filling whole pages with the Tariff and Tax Acts—laws which they declare will give the Federal Government 4g an income that will be abundant for all its wants." The tariff comprises about a thousand items, imposing a penalty for buying anything in the cheapest market—an ad valorem penalty of 35, 40, 50 per cent., or a specific penalty ranging from a few cents to some thousands, " The Internal Tax Act," says the Tribune, will tax almost every article in use. Besides such ordinary taxation as income-tax (3 per cent., rising to 5 per cent, on incomes above 10,000 do's), stamp duties, and legacy duties, the list includes manufacturers of every kind, and, in fact, all sorts of things that can be eaten, drunk, worn, used, or employed —advertisements, bowling alleys, cattle slaughtered, coals, jewellery, telegraphic de spatches, umbrellas, licences to act as doctors, photogra phers, jugglers, lawyers, Bcc., or to keep shows or "theatres," 3 per cent. on the gross passenger receipts of railways and toll bridges, 1 per cent. on the gross receipts of insurance companies, 3 per eent. on the gross receipts of steamboats, a dollar on a passage ticket to a foreign port if the fare exceeds 30 dols. Newspapers "are not to be re garded as manufacture, or subjected to a rate of duty." GROWLING AND GRUMBLING.—" Growling" is supposed to be the sign of a good officer. " Grumbling" is taken for granted on the part of a British soldier as a necessary of his existence. These camel-like propensities are so strong that the press is sometimes resorted to as a safety-valve. But we really cannot feel for the new griev ance in the abstract, What's in a feather, Why should paymasters be grieved to the heart because they are not permitted to put feathers in their cocked hats? The mili tary storekeepers wear feathers. Why should not the pay masters? What a happy race paymasters must be if they have only such things to grumble about! —Army and Mtvy Ggzett9t NEW ADELPHI. MISS AVONIA JONES. In this age of hard reality, an ideal actress is a wonder that startles the public with its novelty as much as it attracts them with its power. She re scusitates a faith which, whilst it at once subdaes their sympathies, has to struggle with associations that direct them to an adverse shrine. They are like the Greeks that we read of in the travels of Anarcharsis, who, after a long sojourn in sensuous Egypt, landed in Crete, and suddenly found them selves in the presence of a statue of Athene. Nor can this surprise when we remember that the entire tendency of modern taste is to contract the imagi nation. Our realism, which is so devoted to a purely material development, acquires its force by limitation—by concentrating the mind on the merely special and external to the exclusion of the life beneath, of which they form but the mere sheathing. Our industrial science would have no energy for the great task it is engaged upon but by forcing us into a momentary forgetfulness of the end for which its task is given. Thus it is the outward life of our time that we are drawn to as the all important—that we analyse respect and magnify —under every prompting of our immediate progress and thus it is that art, succumbing to an influence, which it is its duty and purpose to oppose, sinks into the mere handmaid and minister of the sens es —not the soul. Our fiction sinks into mere manner painting—and our painting into mere photograph ing. The whole tendency of such a system is to propose finish instead of force—is to put form in the place of spirit—and a mere definite exactness in that of a true imagination. Nevertheless, the soul that may be hidden is not extinguished by such a system. That which is enduring in the heart of man is not exploded by its casual needs or its ac cidental passions. The life that beats in it now is the same that beat in it—whether in classic or bar baric times—and must continue unchanged to ani mate it—up to the last hour of its history. When ever this life then is addressed, however slightly, it responds with a throb as genuine as can possibly evoke it. Whether it be a picture, poem, or piece of acting that speaks to the human soul, the human soul proclaims their affinity in no uncertain sound or movement. The heaviest cloud that slumbers in the heavens has 'nut to be touched by the electric current and it gives forth a sudden light, as deep, and brilliant as it receives. It was on these grounds we were sincerely pleased during the autumn of the past year with the debut of Miss Avonia Jones on the boards of Drury -lane. We could not but feel that she was an actress of true ideal power, who could speak at once to the deepest recesses and finest sympathies of our com mon nature, by means of a passion profound and ab solute, whioh acted at once on the imagination. We were not insensible to the physical advantages which nature had added to her mental—the noble voice, the expressive face, and the delicately rounded person which was so capable of respond ing to all the promptings of her sense of dignity and grace. Nor at the same time were we blind to the few defects which, owing to an insufficient amount of art, were capable of abating to a certain extent the due impression of her powers. We could not but regret a little excess in the modulation of her superb voice which aimed at a rythmical effect that was scarcely consonant with passion, and of an occasional delay at her great moments —her:wonderful leaps into intensity, which gave a fatal air of preparation to many of her best im pulses. These defects, however, admitted—and the more readily because so removable, we could not but feel that this young lady was gifted to speak with a force and truth such as our stage had not heard for many years, and which, in a period like the present, so intensely sensuous and exter nal, was not more striking for its rarity than wel come for its testimony to the strength of our higher feelings. All these impressions we are happy to say Miss Avonia Jones amply confirmed on her appearance at the Adelphi Theatre last evening, and in the character she first assumed, the " Medea" of Legouve, adapted in three acts, from the play originally written for Rachel, but made most familiar to our public by the wonderful efforts of Ristori. Miss Avonia Jones repeated it with no abatement of that extraordinary force with which she paints the appalling destiny of the being who feels that love can even justify her crimes, acid w huSe hate and fury are the expression rather of her desolation than her wrongs,—the wife and mother who sees in her_ children but the reflected possession of her husband, and who, in daring all for his possession, loses all in his own falsehood. If all this was still expressed as the pervading spirit of the performance, it lost none of its previous force in the great occasions which conveyed it ; as in the well-known image of the panther, and if the less vehement the not less startling declaration, when she reminds her lover that their crimes had become their bond of union. On all of these occasions the imagination which sb e so grandly appealed to, yielded even at the Adelphi theatre, as warm a response as at Drury Lane, and perhaps furnished by that fact a still higher testimony to her p ower . I n the teeth of all the traditions and associations of the house she went direct to the heart of the audience, and the audience as vigorously responded. We have never witnessed a more genuine or instantaneous success. Loudly applauded in all h er b est passages, she was called for most unanimously at the close of every act. The remainder of the performance must be judged with the allowance that a semi -classic play is not the usual work of this theatre—and, consequently, one in which its actors have had the most expe rience. Mr. Steuart, as the Creon, had at least dignity and good intention , Mr. Billi ngton looked Jason to the life, and Mr. Sefton spoke the Orpheus with commendable taste and feeling. Miss Simms also was a graceful and interesting Creusa, The house was well attended. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. A new one-act farce, entitled " Bristol Diamonds," was performed here for the first time last night, and met with a success that cannot but be lasting, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mathews are the grand per sonages in the prison, and they represent a couple perfectly happy in each other's society, but their domestic felicity is disturbed by the wife observing in the poaket of her husband a diamond bracelet, directed to a Miss Tangle. The poor husband h a d undertaken to deliver it to the lady t o o b l i ge a friend, but the explanation is insufficient to calm the jealous feeling of the wife, and th e resu l t is that Mr. Kerr Mudgeonis nearly driven frantic by the suspicion and indignation heaped upon him. All, however, is explained, and peace and happi ness is restored to the household of Mr. Kerr Mudgeon. Mrs. Frank Mathews was immense in the farce, while her husband also had a part which fitted him to a nicety. The evening's entertainments which gave the greatest satisfaction to a, vex ; crowded house, terminated with the splendid bur lesque of " Endymion." STRAND THEATRE-. Mr. v yrah . e admirable burlesque on the "Colleen i , Eily M avourneen, " has been Sawn," entitled transferred to this theatre with great success. The Ali fascin a ting Marie lton sustains the part of Miles with all her wanted animation, while Mr. James Rogers and Mr. Clarke each contribute largely to t h e merriment produced by the performance. The l as t new farce, " Marriage at any Price," also con tinues to receive a la rge amount of public favour. The elegant little theatre is nightly crowded by a very fashionable audience, THE CHRISTI' MINSTRELS. The celGbrated hand of artistes made their ap pearance last night at the St. James's Hall, and their entertainment, which was as varied and en tertaining as usual, gave immense delight to a very large audience. The programme contained several new gems of melody, which elicited the loudest a pplause. The entertainment is to be repeated every e Tezikig, and with the object of studying the comfort of all parties, an afternoon concert is to be given every Saturday at three o'clock, LATEST NEWS. GARIBALDI'S MOVEMENTS. PALERMO, AUG. 12. Garibaldi, with 600 volunteers, is marching in the direction of Patra, Pezzia, and San Cataldo. His object appears to be to reach Messina. The city continues tranquil. The attempts to get up popular demonstrations are universally condemned. Public opinion is in favour of conciliation. TURIN, AUG. 12. The Di3CUBBIO7IO of to-day asserts that the Italian Government has sent a diplomatic note to the Foreign Powers, declaring its determination to make the laws and Established authorities respected, but at the same time pointing out the dangers of a prolonged occupation of Rome by French troops. VIENNA, AUG. 12. The Pt esse of to-day publishes the following telegram : " STUTTGART, AUG. 11. " The Ministry resolved to-day that Wurtemberg should not become a party to the Franco-Prussian Treaty. " This resolution has already been notified to the Court of Berlin." THE BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Aim. 12. The Pera, with the heavy portion of the Bombay and Mauritius mails, arrived off the Needles at 9.45 a.m. PORTUGAL. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY NIGHT. The screw steam-ship Mangerton, Captain E. Blackmore, from Lisbon on the 7th inst., and Vigo on the Bth, arrived at 9 p.m. She brings 27 first and seven second class passengers, among whom are their Royal Highnesses the Count d'Eu and the Duke d'Alenccon and suite; and on freight, £1,435 in specie and 900 packages of general merchandise. Very fine weather and light westerly airs were ex perienced throughout the voyage. On the 9th inst., 80 miles N.E. of Cape Finis terre, the Mangerton spoke the British ships Wil liam Miles and Grand Bonny, steering S.W. Great preparations were making at Lisbon for the reception of the young Queen in October next. The Mangerton does not bring any political news of importance. The Government had under con sideration the necessity of assuming dictatorial powers to decree the admission of foreign grain before the Cortes re-assemble for general business in November, it being held impossible to discuss the measure when they meet for the proforma con firmation of the King's marriage contract with the Princess Maria Pia FRANCE.

Before I begin my account of the Garibaldian movement in the South I must tell you something more of the ultimata fate of my Garibaldian fellow- passengers. We left them at the entrance of that glorious Bay of Naples as it unfolds itself after rounding Cape Misene, and never have I seen it more glittering and bright than under that August sun. It did not fail to produce its effect on the Garibaldians. They were "as merry as sandboys." Those who had been there with the Southern army before acted the part of cicerones to the novices. Some of the cicerones seemed so knowing that I began almost to suspect they had employed their time while at Naples, two years ago, rather in exploring the sights of the neighbourhood than in looking at the Neapolitans at Santa Maria. However, their topography was so fanciful that it seemed as if they had got their store of knowledge secondhand ; but, such as it happened to be, it was gratefully received, and much more so the promise to show them the lions of the town during the 24 hours that the steamer stopped before proceeding on her journey to Messina and Palermo, whether they were bound. However, the fates in the shape of the Neapolitan Questura had decided otherwise. While the steamer was trying to get into her berth some employes of the police made their appearance on board, and allowed no one to leave. As no objection is usually made to landing, there could be no doubt that tele graphic information had been received about the Garibaldians. Some of the other passengers insisted on going on !shore, and at last most of those who did not belong to the dangerous set were allowed to do so. The distinction seems to have been placed in tile luggage—those who had any were let out, while the others were told to wait. It was only yesterday, on returning on board the General Abbatucci, that I heard the reason of the delay. lustructions were asked, and they were sent by a body of carabiniers, to the effect that not one of the young men was to be allowed to land. They were asked for passports, and, of course, had none, as they were moving within the limits of the kingdom. Some of the soldiers insisted on their right to move about and land wherever they pleased —to be free citizens of the kingdom—and there was some chance of a row with the police, when the captain of the steamer thought of a clever means to arrange matters. A steamer belonging to another company was just starting for Palermo, so he offered, if they would pay sf. ahead, to get them a passage, and they might leave at once. Rather than stop a whole day without being allowed to land, they consented, and were transferred to the steamer, the company having agreed to take them at that rate, considering the number which was larger than I thought-85. Tnus the captain of the General Abbatucci got rid of them at Naples without, of course, giving back a farthi, g of their passage money, which had been paid for Palermo ; the police had no trouble with them, and the Garibaldians arrived three days sooner at Palermo by paying sf. extra. . As this is not th e fi rst b atc h wh i ch has gon e to Sicily, it seems to show great uncertainty and irreso lution on the part of the Government not to have made up its mind what to do. It Italy is, as she pretends to be, a constitutional country, she must respect individu a l lib er t y , H a d these young men been arm e d, or s h own i n an y manner a hostile in tention, excepti ona l measures might have been taken, but it is namely wise to annoy th em as much as possible and yet allow them in the end to go to Sicily. Such half-measures must naturally lead to misapprehensions. They: are those Who suspect the Government ©f . eonniving at the m ovemen t i n order to further It 1 others a ga i n who think that the OeTerranent is endeavouring to have another Sarnico, and make a merit of it. Both these wil naturally interpret such half-measures as are re sorted to in their own way. I cannot help thinking there is some irresolution as to how to deal with the movement, which is as suming greater proportions daily, and also much inexperience in the true spirit of constitutional go vernment. It must be remembered that when Pied mont adopted const,tutional forms, in 1848, its sys tem of administration was not changed. It remained the same bureaucratic centralisation as before. The war in 1859 and the full powers granted to the Government several times since rather strengthened this system. While Govern ment was leading the popular movement the dis advantages of this centralisation were not much felt, bat now that the popular movement threatens to overturn the Government the case is different. As a Parliamentary Government it must respect the law as to personal liberty, and as the head of the Administration it has a tendency to interfere, hence such half-measures as I related just now. To judge of the effects of the present movement in the South of Italy it must be always kept in mind that Garibaldi, the centre of the whole agita tion, is in the South, and that the South owes its liberation to him. His name is synonymous with all the good which the Southern Italians have ex perienced for the last two years, while he had no share in all the inconveniences which they may have felt from the introduction of a regular govern ment since the annexaticn. His name recals a reign of holiday, while that of the Italian Govern ment represents taxes and conscription. Besides this, his call for Rome revives the grievances against Turin and what is still secretly called a Piedmontese Government, a Piedmontese army. It is useless to reason on the subject and show how it is the fault of the Southern men if they have not yet taken their proper share in the government of Italy, they feel only the slight that they have sunk. down to a province. Under these circumstances it cannot surprise, you that the recent proceedings of Garibaldi ha:fe pro duced a deep impression on the people faf Naples and Sicily. It manifests itself, however., differently in the two countries; for while in Sicily, where Garibaldi has begun his agitation, the move ment is carried on openly, at Naples it has not yet broken out into broad daylight. For more than a week his arrival has been daily expected, and this expectation has not a little contributed to raise the agitation, There is one feature which tells more of the force of this agitation than anything I could say, and this is that several thousand men have in scribed their names on the list of volunteers. Na, doubt there is a difference in such cases betwe e n those who inscribe their names and those who 'Actu ally would go if called upon ; but, eves raking every allowance, these enlistments are sig: a ifi cant if e remember that in 1860, when the Bor abons were at the doors of the capital, and all we're so compro mised that they h a d t o f ear the worst, not 109 volunteers could be found to join those who fought for them. Some of the most active members of the party of action have chosen Naples as their head quarters, and they certainly do everything in tf eir power to push things to an extreme. On the otb er hand, the remains of the reaction and the .pr;..ests likewise do their best to throw o:1 on the Bmo-older ing cinders. Although even the most sr,perficial observer can see th at t h ere is less misery than ever has been seen at Naples, fewer beggars, and greater activity of commerce than before, yet you hear the people complain. I talked to several fishermen, and they were all unanimous in assuring me that since 18 60—that is, since they have been under the new Government—the fish have left the Ba y. In vain do they l ower th e i r nets—they draw them in empty. On cress-examination they admitted, how ever, that they sold what they caught at three times the price they got before, and one, evidently the esprit fort of the party, went so far as to insinuate that perhaps, after all, the Government had nothing to do with driving away the fish, as they had caught several large fish of prey in their nets which may have been the guilty parties. With such ignorance and such prejudices, and with that hereditary weakness of Neapolitans to cherish grievances, popular movements spread rapidly. I ' never yet knew a Neapolitan - vdho had - not some pet grievance, which he spends his life hi impressing on everyone he meets. There are numbers who thought to have a claim to office and could not ba accommo well to consider that no one of those contests was finally abandoned by the losing party until the moral effect of recognition had first been felt. Every man of intelligence would say, "If our great effort has failed with all our numbers and enthusiasm and credit, what will the chances be with our spirit jaded, our finances in confusion, our theories ex ploded, and the South supported now by the acknowledgment of Europe P We have done our utmost, none can term our effort an ignoble one, and now without discredit we may yield to destiny, respond to the opinion of Europe, and preserve our own dominion from ruin." And, in truth, so far from European recognition supplying a stimulus to the North, it would ex tinguish one that now exists. On the 31st of July there appeared in your columns two letters vehe mently urging efforts to recruit at once. Mi. Seward writes, "All is well if we instantly show our strength. I send Diven home for that purpose." Mr. Diven writes, "We have not the time to draught. We must end this war soon or fight the world. We can't fight the world successfully ; you know we can't." The meaning of these letters is obviously this—" Make a desperate effort at once. If we put a bold front on it, and make Europe be lieve that our strength is inexhaustible, the Powers will continue to stand aloof; but unless we do this instantly they will renognise the South, and all is over." Here, then, is the stimulus now in action— the apprehension of a great evil; the struggle to avert it. But the moment that evil is an irrever sible fact, the effort to prevent it ends ; the stimulus is gone. One who hears that his house is on fire strains every nerve to reach it, but if he learns that it is burnt to the ground he hurries no more, but submits to the less it is now beyond his power to escape. An argument has been used with much force L that the South is now in so advantageous a position that it may well be left to complete the work. But it cannot be denied that this is a war of rapid changes. At present there is a lull, a period of inaction, doubt, despondency—a precious oppor tunity for Europe, not to interfere in the contest, but to end it by rendering its object impossible. When operations are resumed, although it is impro bable, yet there is the risk that the tide may turn, that the North may again obtain delusive successes, which would speedily render it again elated and defiant. Should this come to pass the opportunity will be lost, and lost to no one's gain. Success ob tained by the North can only protract the inevit i able result. It will but lengthen out the pain of an amputation. There is also a risk in the other di rection. The South may be so successful as to de mand terms that may drive the North to protracted resistance. As the matter now stands each has proved before the world its energy and valour ; each has experienced the terrible cost of such a war, and neither has obtained so decisive an advantage 68 to demand oppressive terms of peace. When can we hope for another pause with re su l ts so balanced as to permit conditions humiliating to neither, and so afford a prospect of future tran quillit3 ? The practical effect of European recognition would be to extinguish inst a ntly a l l confidence in moneyed circles; in other words, to level at once the prop on which the war rests. It would go round with the strange, unwelcome face of the tax-gatherer, who will begin his calls on the Ist of September, an d would supply to every man in his home an argu ment against the continuance of such visits. TO numbers wh o are silently deploring this suicidal strife it would give courage to speak and a poin t t° rally upon. To th ose w h o see the folly of the war, but no means of extrication, it would afford a season able excuse. To every thoughtful mind it would be a solemn warning that the time had come to end ~ this iniqui tous warfare, and, although some a tterDP might be m a d e t o rouse a sp i r i t of res i sta nce, that attempt would fail, for all wou ld i ns ti n ctively k now r it to b e t h e b eg i nn i ng o f the end an d t h e of peace.—l am, &c., S.
