It is im possible to contemplate without a shudder the dreadful tragedy which has recently desecrated the streets of Parma—the hideous and brutal mur der of the unfortunate Colonel ANVITI. Further particulars have now enabled us to recognise only too vividly the whole horror of this atrocious and most lamentable catastrophe. Musing over those particulars, one cannot but instinctively call to mind that despairing cry which rang from the lips of the beautiful ROLAND when she stood upon the scaffold of the guillotine awaiting her own turn for execution—that lamentable cry which will re sound for ever down the lengthened perspective of history—" Oh, Liberty ! in thy name what crimes are perpetrated !" Here, in this detestable assassi nation of the Count ANVITI, is the latest and not the least execrable of these peculiar atrocities. Until ANVITI was "dose to death" in the streets of Parma, during one of the earlier days of this month of October (the Fifth)—the calm, ma jestic, resolute, and tranquil attitude main tained by the population of the Duchies from the moment when their respective Princes had fled to the camp of the Austrians (there flagrantly to draw the sword amongst the foes of Italian independence), this calm, majestic, resolute, and tranquil attitude on the part of the population of the Duchies had been the theme of very general and of nobly-deserved admiration. Sympathising here in England with the loftier hopes and aspira tions of the Italians, we all said exultingly, in the presence of that superb self-command on the part of the inhabitants of those central portions of the Roman peninsula—They are worthy of realising those glorious dreams of their social and political emancipation ! Suddenly, in the midst of which emotional greetings of applause from their sympa thisers, come from Parma the tidings of this most unlooked for calamity ! Happily—(it is about the only thought by way of compensative mitigation left to us)—" It all passed," we do believe, as it is said to have done by an eyewitness, or rather by one who was there in Parma at the period of the asFassi nation—" It all passed in a sudden whirl." It was —we are firmly persuaded—the act resulting from an outburst of popular delirium : a deed—abrupt and unpremeditated. Intelligence suddenly falls like a bombshell into the midst of the city of Parma—news that Colonel ANVITI, commander of the Parma soldiery during the brief interval when martial law was enforced, that Colonel ANvITI of all men, he who was among the most detested among all the adherents of the late dynasty (as his dreadful death, indeed, has but too signally demonstrated)—that Colonel ANVITI had been discovered on the frontiers! That the ex-commander of Parma had been discovered there —disguised—in company, it was said, with an Aus trian general—he himself (ANvrrt) having in his possession letters, money, and a Papal passport. To gether with these sudden tidings came the knowledge that Col. ANVITI had been placed in the custody of the gendarmes (by the patriotic volunteers by whom he had been captured), and that he was then actually at that moment in Parma in the barracks of the gendarmes under temporary confinement. Here obviously was the error of the authorities. A pri soner of such importance, one so especially hateful to the population, ought in reason to have been encircled by a guard proportioned in energy and determination to the extent of AN VITI'S unpopularity and to the exceeding gravity of the time and cir ourotances. The tidings of the wretched prisoner's capture, we are told, " ran suddenly like a shock through the city "—it passed mysteriously througii all Parma with "a thrill of execration." The cor respondent who recounts the murder to one of our princip al morning contemporarie s , th e Post, sums up the deed o f ,A bloodcrowd gathered in a single sentence wh en he writes_ gathered round the barrack, and on a suddpenopmuolavcee merrt a number of the most brutal of the burst in, stabbed the wretched man to devaitno. h, draped his body through the streets, and ha out cdf his head, placed it u p on the column of the piazza." And he adds in words, which, notwithstand ing their intentional vagueness are only too fright fully suggestive—" It is a painful fact that none of those hideous outrages which usually accompany these acts of popular fury were spared on this oc casion, and the murder wants no single element of atrocity. I spare you the loathsome details." Ex planation unhappily is needless to those who have conned (and who has not ?) the records of those epochs of glory and of shame, of sublime hopes and of utter despair, when the rule in France was the Reign of Terror, and when the insurgents of June (1848) were fighting for three days at unnumbered barricades all over Paris in a deadly encounter with the Soldiers of ORDER rather than of the Republic under the command of CAVAIGNAC, the heroic Dictator, born of the Provisional Government. Reverting, however, to the horrible crimes per petrated upon the person of the unhappy Colonel ANvITI by the most brutal of the Parma populace —while it is undeniable that this hideous atrocity admits not of any syllable of palliation, of any whisper of extenuation—(demanding, in truth, from none more loudly than from the friends and lovers of Italian liberty, expressions only of the uttermost abhorrence)—it admits, nevertheless, it does abso lutely admit of Explanation ! Let us but read in testimony of this what has but just now been written from Parma, on the 6th of October, by the correspondent already quoted from the columns of our contemporary. Alluding to the population of Parma, he writes thus recently from the very midst of it, he writes, remember, fresh from the recol lection of the crime he has been relating: "Itis a population at all times violent, goaded into habits of outrage by the rule of a mediaeval monster of tyranny in the late Duke, and it is the only popu lation amongst whom an armed conflict withthe late Government had in any way commenced. I fear," he adds, " the sinister elements then called forth are not under the contrel of the actual Government." Observing yet further, " Certainly an outrage like that of last night requires a strong remedy, which those in power are hardly capable of exercising." But now comes the Explanation we have referred to, and which is thus gleaned from the evidence afforded us through the truthful record of events vouchsafed to us by this (in every way) uncom promising correspondent. " The people," he reminds us, " are only a few years relieved from one of the most incredible tyrannies in his tory. Men who have been bastinadoed, impri soned, and seen their wives, brothers, and children murdered at the caprice of a Caligula, a mad man like the late Duke, have no common feelings of execration towards his principal agents. Certain it is that the indignation against this man is incon ceivable. They say, when in exercise of martial law, he shot, bastinadoed, and imprisoned men by wholesale without the remotest form of trial, and upon the occasion of an attempt upon his life, executed his vengeance upon 30 persons who were standing near the spot, as well as upon others taken from a private list of ' suspects.' Man, woman, and child utter his name with loathing, and the most trustworthy persons have assured me that he was the type of a military tyrant." That is the Explana tion. But having said this much of the murdered— quoth the same honest heart in reference to Col. AN VITI'S blood-stained murderers—" Be this as it may, his death blackens this city and this country, and the grief and indignation of all honourable men of this city and the sense of stupefaction and remorse with which even the masses of the people reflect upon the deed, and all the efforts which the Go vernment are making, will avail nothing to remove the stain from the Italian banner". Alas ! he adds, yet further, " Those who have seen it borne aloft hitherto in honour must sorrowfully admit that the iron has entered into their souls, and that their fetters have to some extent corroded and poisoned the frame, though the heart is still untouched and the gangrene has reached no vital part.' The anguish caused by the news of this shameful mur der is the same among all the true friends of Italian Liberty—it is literally the same as that which, more than sixty-five years ago, drew from the dauntless Madame ROLAND that mournful cry 1 which we have here already articulated. Somebody has actually at last been proved, upon official inquiry, to be really blameworthy ! It may sound incredible, but the fact is so, neverthe less. The prolonged investigation which has been recently winding its slow length along at the Greenwich Police-court, with a view to the dis covery, if possible, of the actual cause of the wreck of the unfortunate Alma, has at length terminated. And the result arrived at is positively, for once, distinct and comprehensible, and—so far, at least, as the public are concerned—we cannot but think also highly satisfactory. There is the cause of the calamity explicitly stated. There is the finger of Justice placed upon the Delinquent. As to the circumstances under which the Alma was lost those surely need not now be recapitulated. The melancholy story of the wreck is by this time tolerably familiar to the public. And it is not so simply from its bearing a resemblance to one of the popular fictions of Mr. NATHANIEL HAW THORNE by being entitled over and above measure to be catalogued among the number of " Twice Told Tales." The particulars of the whole catastrophe have been very recently and very vividly revived by means of the very official inquiry which has now been brought to a conclusion—again, we must observe, so satisfactory to the public, though (of course) so peculiarly painful to one individual, the person proved to have been blameworthy ! The investigation, it will be remembered, took place at Greenwich, before Mr. TRAILL and Captain WALKER—the two principal officers of the lost Alma, Captain HENRY and Mr. DAVIS, the chief officer, being represented by Mr. WILDE, Q.C., and the Board of Trade by Mr. CUMBERLAND. The decision pronounced yesterday morning at the close of the proceedings so admirably epitomises the whole subject under scrutiny that we cannot pos sibly do better than repeat here the very words in which it was pronounced by the worthy mania• trate. Addressing himself to Captain HENRY and to Mr. DAVIS :—Mr. TRAIL thus expressed himself : —" We have been considering," he said, " during our absence, as indeed you may be sure we have been doing throughout this inquiry, as to the persons blameable for the cause of the wreck, and I am sorry to say that we can come to only one conclusion, which is that the vessel has been lost through a fault. The only question is as to whose fault it is ; and it is our opinion that not you, Captain HENRY, but Mr. DAvis, the chief officer, was in charge of the ship, and that in altering the course at 12.45, if he had consulted the chart he would have found that the course was not altered sufficiently, but that the vessel was nearly in a direct course to run on to the rocks where she became a wreck. We are also of opinion that you, Capt. HENRY, in him directions to haul up, and referring him to the chart, gave him all the information you possessed, and placed him in charge of the ship ; and that if he had not been in charge of the vessel it would have been his duty to have consulted you. These are only some of the points to which we shall have to refer in making our report to the Board of Trade, and in doing which we shall not fail to refer to the good character which we have received of Mr. DAVIS as .:LV , , .; * , ''' ~,, T. 6J•lk 4 A , Vr'' , .

Now, We do not doubt for a single instant but that it was peusonally painful to Mr. TRAIL', to address to Mr. DAV IS, Chi e f Officer of the Alma , words such as those.—words of strong, and positive, and explicit con demnation. Next to the pain with which Mr. DAVIS must have listened to them, must have been no less, e,grtainly, the discomfort (to say the least of it) with s rhjch they were uttered by the magistrate. But Mr. TRAILL happily looked in this, more to what was good for the public than to what was simply ecgreeable to himself. He saw the truth distinctly before him, and— as he ought—refused to shut his eyes to it. Wedo heartily wish that other men would follow in this way the resolute example sat to all official inquirers by the bold, manly, straightonward course taken throughout this distressing investigation by this just and worthy magistrate. LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Itcuter's office PARIS, OCT, 11.

The Piedmontese journals of the Bth, which have come to hand this morning, contain full details of the murder of Col. Anviti on the sth at Parma. The Piedmontese Gazette quotes the following without comment from the Parma Gazette of the 6th : " The people of Parma, who, by their late revolu tion, had merited the esteem of all Europe for the admirable order, calmness, and generous sentiments with which they had ever met those even who had left nothing undone to torture, oppress, and bru talise them, allowed themselves last night to b© fatally carried away by an irrepressible paroxysm of hatred, suspicion, and vengeance which drove them involuntarily to commit an act which the pen recoils from recording. One Anviti, whose name excited execration in the hearts of all, a man who was the incarnation of all that is odious, tyranni cal, and shameful in the many persecutions of the late Bourbon Government, was yesterday seen and recognised in this city after a mysterious absence of several months. His appearance at this moment, undoubtedly connected with traitorous intrigues and a desire to create disorder, excited a furious suspicion in the minds of some who, vainly admonished by some citizens, gave the signal for an act which led to sudden and deplorable conse quences. Blinded with rage, to rush to the place where he was confined, to break it open, to seize the unhappy man and to expose him to the insults of a crowd maddened by passion, was the work of an instant. A few minutes later he was a corpse. The rapidity with which the crime was committed did not allow the Government time to foresee, or the public force to prevent, or the majority of the inhabitants to oppose it. There now remains in us but a painful recollection of the act—repentance, too late, alas ! in those who committed it—and perhaps a pretext for our enemies to interpret it and comment on it in a man ner prejudicial to us and to all Italy.—This morn• ing the following proclamation was issued : Citizens !—Last night your city was saddened by an event which can never be sufficiently deplored. A villain appeared among the people whom he had cruelly offended. The fever of vengeance seized upon some unhappy men, blinded and maddened them, and made them dye their hands in blood. [lad he been the most perverse of men, it was for the law alone to punish him. While the Govern ment is taking measures to uphold the majesty of the law, it feels that this is the moment for in voking the co-operation of all good citizens in the name of patriotism. You who understand liberty, tell your fellow-citizens that freedom cannot live without respect for the laws. You who desire the redemption of your country, tell them that we must hope for it by maintaining order and tran quillity. Tell them that by avenging the insults of tyranny through the means used yesterday they will instead prepare the way for its return, they will afford it an opportunity of inflicting revenge a hundredfold upon the people. Tell them that all Italy weeps over the crime of yesterday—that her enemies only laugh. " The Intendant-General, CAVALLINI.'" " Parma, Oct. 6, 1859. The Opinione of Turin gives a more detailed ac count of the occurrence. It says : " Colonel Count Luigi Anviti, chamberlai n t o the late duke, arrived by rail on the afternoon of the sth at Parma from Bologna. He was recog nised at the station by one who, it is said, had been condemned to the bastinado under the Ducal Government, and had undergone 4he punishment in the presence of the colonel, who was scoffing at him all the while. By the aid of some persons he was taken to the barracks of the carbineers." (The Italian sentence—fu tratto netta caserma conveys the idea that he was arrested by these persons, and taken to the barracks in order to be given up to the authorities to be dealt with according to law.) " But no sooner did it become known that Anviti had been discovered and taken to the barracks than a crowd assembled, crying : Death ! death !' The authorities strove in vain to mstrain the multitude; their words were not lis tened to, the force of the carbineers was insufficient. The people, breaking into the barracks, seized Anviti, dragged him half dead to the coffee-housel where he used to boast of the bastinado he had in flicted and the other barbarities committed by him. Several influential persons interposed in vain to deliver him from the mob ; Colonel Sceismid-Boda, of the army of Central Italy, did what a man could do to save him—he braved cries and blows, but did not succeed in wresting him from the hands of a ferocious rabble. Anviti's head was cut off in the coffee-house, then stuck upon a pole, _and placed on the column of th e public s quare. The troops were drawn up, and were awaiting the order from the political authority to act—but what was the latter about ? It was only about 8 p.m. that the national guard was called under arms, and hastened to restore order so shamefully disturbed. Several persons were wounded ; he who held the head of Anviti did not give it up until he had re ceive seven wounds, such was his rage, because he had been bastinadoed, and in the presence of Anviti himself. It is said that among those who appeared ' most enraged there was a brother of one who had been shot on suspicion of having fired a pistol at Anviti ; whereas it was currently stated at Parma that Anviti himself had fired the pistol in order to lay the charge upon that young , man. Anviti was hated because he was one of the worst instru ments of the Duke. He was always present at the torture of the bastinado ; at every stroke he would scoff at his victim, saying : This for Pius IX., this for Viva P Italia ! this for Down with .Austria; 8:c." The Sleek has a letter from Turin which gives an account ofthe deplorable affair at Parma : " Charles 111., the deceased husband of the sister of the Count de Chambord, was, as is well known, one of the most maniacal tyrants of un fortunate Italy. His horrible eccentricities may be compared to those of Paul I. of Russia. From his jesuitical education, he entertained the idea that the best way to govern his people was to bastinado them on all occasions, without distinc tion of age, sex, or social position. Having excited public hatred to the utmost, the modern Heliogabalus was assassinated. But nevertheless his system of Government was for a time acted on by his widow, the Duchess Regent, who suc ceeded him, and it was Colonel Anviti, a man without education, though bearing the title of count, who carried it out. He scrupulously followed the traditions of his master. He ev en took pleasure in witnessing the infamous atroc i t i ese which he ordered to be perpetrated :—naYtmP r he scoffed at his victims. That is Charles he used to say as the blow fell and that for for Italy!' Albert, and that for the friends of independenceßut bastinadoing did not always app ear sufficient punishment ; and he is e hanged in besides ac cused of having caused several persons to b pri son without any form of trial. For som e time past, he lived in retirement in the neighbourhood of Piacenza. But on the sth of th is lie had arrived month he was found at Reggio, at which place from the Papal States. He wasin c ustody of two arrested by order of the authorities, and placed carbineers to be conveyedt o Piacenza. On arriv ing at the railway station at Parma, these men re solved to make a halt, and took him to the bar racks of the carbineers. , o reach them they had to pass through the great er part of the town, and on the way the brother of a man named Carir.i, who had been hanged in prisotnbey bastinado, recognised order of Anviti, and having himself received b him, and loudly expressed indignation. A crowd assembled, but the car bin i e_e_rs eu su s ce A ed n e u d n i l their prisoner in the gua d h ü be i r od of gi t u h g e crowd, amounting to about . thirty, attacked the g uard -house, in spite of the remonstrances of some respectable persons ; .t . he door was forced open, and the wretched Alit Ai was killed by stabs from poign ards. His dead body was then dragged to and there the head was cut the principal sq e s off, and placed u o a i r i the top of a column ; after wards, horrible to relate, the body for the space of two hours wa s dragged about the streets. The assassination was accomplished , so promptly that i it was impossible to prevent it. The band which dragged about the body t was not numerous, a nd it is to be regrette d that te dreadful scene. the The national g oo n t uard did not , e r put an end 0 the news of the affair has,u,rin cause d ,which has sent a bat talion of riflemen to Dietat profound affliction to the Government of Parma to maintain order; it has also requested or Parini to take measures ' to punish the principal perpetrators of the crime." On the other han d, the Milan Gazette gives the following version of the affair " Col. Anviti had been , in the t a withsv ee al months past, and vas was staying,ster,eday, Rimini the rail wone of Iris old colleagues.,uin ay which goes to r ', r id ge o f E n za ; the bridge and he arrived at the ge being broken, Anviti alighted with the other passengers, to cross the streimi on foot. Some inhabitants . of Parma havino.recognised him, he was Inunediately arrested, in 1. ek tken.toParnm, and secured a ) . aria where . there taken le only 10 to 12 men, the only force at thedtsposal of w a ' town . of 50,000 souls. The people got excited ; in 1 , ":1 ; ;I the colonel, who commanded a battalion of the l°,►rri6on, promised the prisoner his life, and de (Allred to the mob that the prisoner was to be judged, and if pro v e d g uilt y , executed. The gate ot'ite barracks was soon forced open, the prison er seized, massacred wit h stones and bludgeons, d; ged along the stree ts, laid down in a coffew house, ,r where his head was cut off, and all this lasted until half-past 9 p.m.—that is, five hours. At last a patrol of the Pignerol battalion arrived with fixed bayonets, in order to save from these orgies the remains of a man who, although a cri minal, had been punished in a much more criminal manner. There are no carbineers at Parma, it is true ; but there are many volunteers already. or ganised, besides a battalion of Piedmonteso and five battalions of the National Guard. Oh, poor Italy ! why is it written that thine own sons shall always tear thy bosom ! Now, M. Farini, it is for you to show the vigour so necessary at this mo ment, in order that a noble and generous nation may not suffer from the madness of a hundred vil lains !" DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mr. E. T. Smith has availed himself of the arrival of Madlle. Piccolomini, previous to her departure for the Con tinent, to announce three farewell performances, which will take place at the Theatre Royal Drury-lane, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday next. Madlle. Piccoloruini will ap pear in " Lucia," the " Traviata," and, for the first time in London, as Leonora in the " Trovatore." She will be assisted by Signor Belart and other artistes. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. Last night the comedy of " Love's Telegraph," which was originally performed at this theatre some 12 years ago, was revived. It is pretty but light, and evi dently of French origin. The plot is briefly as follows : A reigning princess, who has become enamoured of her own secretary, is surprised and annoyed on discovering a scheme by which he and her favourite court lady interchange tender communications under her very nose. When the lady opens her fan, and the gentleman twirls his glove, it is understood that they converse with each other, although their words are apparently addressed to their august mistress. The fact that the lady is her especial confidant increases the mortification of the princess ; but she allows herself to be persuaded by the secretary that he has acted for the best in thwarting an ill ithectcd inclination, and in leaving her hand het; for a fitting consort. The acting was effective, although not equal to the original cast. Mrs. Charles Young gave full effect to the passionate hut baffled Princess ; but Mr. H. Bland, though a judicious and careful actor, is scarcely at home in the part of a young hero. The dresses, especially those of the ladies, are superb, and the scenery pretty and appropriate. The new spectacle of " Love and Fortune" evidently gains on the audience; and a broad farce, entitled " The Two Polts," gave Mr. Widdicomb an opportunity of giving this audience a taste of his best qualities, as a broad low comedian. A new historical drama and other novelties are said to be in preparation. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT EASTERN AT _HOLYHEAD. HOLYHEAD, MONDAY EVENING. The Great Eastern sighted this point at noon to-day ; and, after making experiments in the bay with her screw and paddle engines, connected and disconnected, anchcred inside the breakwater at 3.45 p.m. The voyage from Portland to the Old Head of Kinsale, and thence to this place, was accomplished under the most favourable circumstances. The average speed throughout the whole trip was rather less than 14 knots, though during a great portion of the time the engines were working at little more than half speed, the paddles averaging 10, and the screw 38 revolutions, working at 201 b. steam. The Scilly Islands were passed at 8.30 yesterday morning ; soon after which, the wind increasing, sail was set and a direct course made for the Old Head of Kinsale, where she arrived at 5.40 p.m. The course made by the compasses proved perfectly correct. From the Irish coast the ship steered direct for Holyhead. The motion at all times was most slight, though the weather was very squally, and at times a long sea ran high. At all times, however, the vessel was under the most perfect control; she was tried under both screw and paddle engines, united and singly, and on both occasions with per fect success. THE GREAT EASTERN UNDER STEAM BY 11. C. GOER. A beautiful coloured lithograph of the Great Eastern under Steam, and with her majestic sails spread open to the breeze, has but just now very opportunely come to hand —upon the very morrow of the Leviathan's successful completion of her first trial trip round to Holyhead. The picture is issued from Mr. Geyer' s establishment in Princes street, Bedford-row, and is one of the happiest of all the " counterfeit presentments" of the late John Brunel's masterpiece. The lithograph has all the brilliancy and some of the delicacy of a water-colour painting. It is of an oval form—the oval, of course, horizontally placed—and is well worthy of frame. and-glass for its better preser vation. His Highness the Prince Victor Wassiltchikoff has arrived at Maurigy's Hotel from visiting the Duke of Hamilton at Brodick Castle, N.B. His highness will leave town in a few days for Paris. Her Highness the Princess Anatole Bariatinsky and family havo returned to Grillon's Clarendon Hotel from the Isle of Wight. His Excellency the Commander Targione has left Maurigy's Hotel for his residence in Albemarle-street. The Duke and Duchesr of Buccleuch are sur rounded by a distinguished circle of friends at Drumlanrig Castle. The Earl Cawdor has arrived at Worsley Hall, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, from Cawdor Castle. Lady Milford leaves town this day on a visit to the Marchioness of Abercorn, at Brocket Hall, Hertford shire. Lady Alvanley has left town for Brighton. Colonel and Lady Laura Aleyrick have passed through town for Brighton. Lola .pontes embarked at Southampton on Tues day, on board the Hammonia steamer, for New York. SIR JOHN RATCLIFF.—A public dinner will be given to Sir John Ratcliff, the Mayor of Birmingham, by his fellow-citizens, on the 9th proximo, on the occasion of his retirement from the mayoralty of that town, which he has held for three years in succession. THE BRAZILIAN MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Oat. 10. —The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Oneida, Captain Leeds, left this afternoon with the outward Brazil mails and 153 passengers , amongst whom were General Belgu, Cap tain H. D. White, R7N„ Captain Lenard, &c. She also took out £16,007 in specie, £lB,OOO in jewellery, and a full cargo. EXTRA MAIL FOR INDlA.—Yesterday notice was issued at the chief office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, that extra mails for Calcutta, Madras, Point de Galle, and Aden would be made up and forwarded via Southampton on the morning of the 12th instant (to-morrow), and via Marseill es on the evening of the 18th instant. ails to Australia will also be despatched on the same days. THE RETURN OF LORD CLYDE.—We hear that the Commander-in-Chief had decided on leaving Simla on the 20th of September, whenco he would march down to Lucknow, in order to meet the Governor-General, who was expected in the capital of Oude about the 15th or 20th of October. It is probable that Lord Clyde would then take leave of Lord Canning, as the latter is on his way to visit Agra, Delhi, Lahore—perhaps Peshawur—before he takes up his quarters at Simla, which will be the seat of Go-ern ment next summer. Lord Clyde will leave India at the close of this year, or early in January, as at present advised. Except in escaping the heat, he has not derived much benefit from his stay in Simla, and he is said to have suffered during all the rains from a severe cold. The staff have all suffered more or less from illness, with the excep tion, perhaps, of Colonel Sterling, Military Secretary, who has enjoyed excellent health. GOLD IN TASMANIA.—The further notices re garding the discovery of gold in Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land) in the journals received by the present mail, consist of the following from the Launceston Examiner of the 13th of August :—" The inhabitants of the district of the river Forth have decided to cut a bridle track through the bush from the Forth, by way of Clark's plains, to the neighbour hood of the Middlesex plains, where gold has been disco vered. The residents of Circular Head have held a meet ing to take steps to develope the auriferous resources of the district. A prospecting party is to set out under the direc tion of Mr Emmett, who has already established the exist • ence of gold-bearing quartz in that part of the island." Professor Kiss, from Berlin, has shown his grati tude to the mineral sources of Karlsbad by pr e senting the town with a magnificent colossal tiger's head in bronze, killing a serpent, which has been erected on the road to Marienbad, near the promenade, in such a way that the tiger's head emergies from a cavern, and creates in every spectator the illusion as if the rest of the body was in the cavern. On a slab under this fine pieco of art are the words, "In grateful Remembrance, by Kiss in Berlin, 1859." Loss OF A SHIELDS SHIP AND ALL HANDS. — There appears now no doubt that the South Shields collier brig Edgar, which left the Tyne exactly a month ago for Hamburg with a fleet of other vessels going oversee, has perished with all hands. Shortly after leaving the Tyne the fleet encountered a heavy gale, and three or four of them were lost on the Dutch coast ; the William,of South Shields, with all her crew. Some hope was entertained that the crew of the Edgar might have been picked up by another vessel, but that has been abandoned. Her stern has washed up within about 60 miles of the Elbe. When the vessel sailed from the Tyne she had 10 hands on board. Her mas ter was Mr. Edward Mackay, and his brother, William Mackay, was the mate of the vessel. The usual comple ment of hands (officers, crew, and apprentices) was nine ; but it seems that as the vessel was proceeiing to sea a little lad, brother of the cabin boy, stowed himself below to get a runaway voyage to sea, and the poor little fellow has perished with the vessel and her crew. THE NEW MALT ACT.—The new Malt Act took effect on Saturday, the let inst. 'ln respect of all malt be gan to be made on and after that day, the duty of excise is to be' paid in 12 weeks in lieu of 18 as heretofore ; and on paymeat a discount of four per cent. per annum for the six weeks now reduced in the credit is to be allowed in re spect of all malt made on or after the Ist October and before the Ist April next on amounts paid. within the time ap pointed. PIEDMONT. A Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels says :—" The Piedmontese Government, while de ploring the crime which has been committed by the populace of Parma, has endeavoured to make the French Government comprehend that such an event would not have taken place if a regular regency, established over the whole of the populations of Central Italy, had allowed the authorities to conso lidate themselves in the ideas and practice of mea glares of order and protection, which belong solely to regularly constituted Governments." The lndipendente of Turin of the ith says : "It is stated positively th a t th e Pi e d mon t ese Government has recsived a note from the Emperor of the French, which to a certain point may be con sidered as a reply to the preceding one of the Sar dinian Ministry calling the attention of the allied powers to the affairs of Central Italy. In this note, a fr:%oa formal assurance is said to have been given that France intends to limit her intervention within the sphere of advice, and that she will not tolerate any other power going further than that. The constant declarations which have emanated from the French Government can leaveno doubt as to its intentions. Napoleon 111.,wh0 inaugurated the new era of Italian indepen den ce, will not make himself the accomplice of acts of violence having for object to destroy his work and that of France—a work to which France has de voted so much of her money and, what is still far beyond all he? treasure, the lives of so many of her bray( sons. Italy will never be ungrateful either towards France or towards Napoleon III." The Progresso of Genoa was seized on the Gth for publishing a new letter by Mazzini. Th e Government of R omagna has issued a decree forbidding the exportation of saltpetre and sulphur to the Pontifical territory. The total sum hitherto subscribed in Piedmont for the relief of th families of those who have fallen during the war amounts to 270,000 f. AUSTRIA.

The placing of Baron de Kempen on half-pay is generally attributed to this circumstance. It is also possible that Baron de Hubner's journey may be connected with a project of re-organising the police. This administration is at present entrusted to the ordinary provincial authorities, who are overwhelmed with other duties. It is perhaps intended to create a special adminis tration for the purpose, to be in immediate depen dence on the Ministry of Police at Vienna." LITERATURE'. The New Quarterly Review of Literatur e , A r t _ _ _ Science, and Politics. The first subject under consideration is a " Re trospect of the Literature of the Quarter." It is mentioned that the present quarter, though the dull one, has been tolerably prolific in works above the average literary merit. Some of the criticisms are very sensibly written, and exhibit accuracy of judgment, in dealing with works, not always easy to decide upon. After novels, travels, and bio graphies have been descanted upon, there is a dis sertation on French Books, which will be an agree able variety, for the general reader. An amusing paper on the drama furnishes its quota of informa tion on the several subjects which come under that denomination. In the remarks on Mr. Tenny son's " Idylls of the King" there is a good deal of taste displayed, but on the whole the writer takes too favourable a view of the poet's recent work when he observes that " we have before us a fifth essay of his genius, which, after long consideration, and more than one change of opinion, we have finally made up our minds is superior to all that has preceded it." In the political article entitled " The Second Administration of Lord Derby," there is much to attract the attention and meet the ap proval of the thinking reader. In its general style and purport the essay may be appreciated by many whose views on politics generally do not exactly accord with those of the writer of these remarks. There is something inherent in the national mind of Englishmen which recoils from any actions that are not in accordance with a spirit of fair play, and it requires the convenient vision of preju diced partisans to discover that the course pursued by the followers of Lord Pal merston in these recent Ministerial manoeuvres bore the stamp of honest and honourable proceed ings. It is truly stated that the coalition, which is always an objectionable arrangement, was in this case formed under circumstances which gave no excuse for its creation. " There was no general dislike of Lord Derby in the public mind ; so far from it, that he has received more marks of sym pathy and admiration, both from the sovereign and the people than almost any Prime Minister whose name we can recall." In an eloquent and forcible passage on the general conduct of the late factious opposition, it is argued with plau sibility, that the evident object which themfarcotmuatceadrryig n was to pre ven t th e G o v e rnment any measure whatever, hence they voted in such a manner that ho improvements could be effected, even where they agreed with the princi ples they professed. It is again observed that they kept from direct statements of the merits of mea sures, but confined themselves to vague calumnies and false reports, thus manoeuvring and conspiring for their own ends, regardless of the public welfare, and forgetting that true fame depends more on pri vate character than pomp of place. The general policy of the present Cabinet cannot be better sketched than in the following passage : " With a general charge of incapacity founded on t,lcmea sures which they had themselves acknowledged at one time or another to be sound ; with a general aecusation h of bribery, of which it turned out that they themselves had been the chief employers ; and an equally general censure of a foreign policy, of whieh not only were they then . igno rant, but have since declared themselves imitat h ors tim th r e e y contrived to muster a majority of thirteen, in suit of the election petitions has alre n a e d d y w r7 w t d b u h c i :e i d ie t e o es o s, ne So far, then, their strategy was crow that it enabled them to gain the immediate obbjuecttwoef their ambition, and oust Lord Derby from power ; they it stands revealed, has exercised on th e public v i e ques tion if, in the effect which the whole transaction, now mind,now that corsider will not ultimately stand in the position o able losers.

The Universal Review. This periodical, in its continuation, sustains its previous reputation by its varied and attractive contents. There is an article on " Idealistic Novelists" which is particularly deserving of atten tion ; it gives:some admirable criticisms on Miss Muloch's last novel, called " A Life for a Life." There are some striking truths in the treatment of that clever but mistaken book, in which the gifted authoress did not render herself justice. At the conclusion of this vigorous paper we meet with the following passage referring to the urgent necessity for all who would be sterling in their composition, to relinquish falseness in style and manner : " Very worthy knights have fought for and loved false Florimels ; that is no disgrace very good artists have gone to work on wrong principles, and been tenacious of them. But true knights and true artists discard the seem ingly beautiful, when they can compare it with that which is really so. If they be wise, they blame no one for their error ; they recognise that it was well for them to make m i s takes. In no other way, could they, constituted as they are, have attained to so much of truth and beauty. There are some people who can never profit by the experience of others. They must get it, at first hand for themselves, or never be wise at all. The writers of some of the best idea listic novels we take to be among these. When they out grow th e ir present stage, and ' call nothing common or un clean' that God has made ; and think it not well 'to paint the lily or add a perfume to the violet,' and wrong quit e to look without sympathy upon all beings who are not 4 i n love ;' when they have attained so much of human wisdom they will know, better than we can tell them, how far they are from be in g trul y wise. T hey will . then use their powers to describe what is and ' sad as ought to be • not what they once thought Cu lovelier. Instead' of writing melancholy tales, night for very wantonness,' they will understand that God's will for man is that he should inherit joy rather than sor row, even in this life ; and that those who make sunshine in a shady place, serve him better than those a ray out darkness, or even than those who write storieswflolor throughout which no reader can indulge in; 8 bliSuoeutyitedhne gloom, l amusement, which are clothed in sentimental years r and a - Raphael is laugh.

From all the information we have been able to collect, we come to the conclusion that the harvest this year is somewhat below an average one. For both corn and wine the quantity is certainly inferior to last year's yield. The stock of old corn now on hand is equal to about one-fourth of the annual consumption of France. Aso ur exports are at present trifling, owing to the slight difference in prices between foreign markets and our own, the late rise has been chiefly caused by the unfavourable state of the weather for sowing. Good seed-corn, unfortunately, is by no means and consequently commands high prices. The plentiful, harvest has been got in well almost everywhere. br© hear complaints in sonic places that the grain is light ; but it is dry, and will keep well. The autumn crops, which for a time inspired some uneasiness, now look better. Potatcies, f,r instance, will yield more than was expeeted, As they lie near the surface, the recent as have done the oa. muck good, and they will present a much finer crop than. could have been hoped for some weeks ago. Beetroot has also benefited from the same cause, and now looks very promising." The small-pox is said to be very prevalent in London, so much so, that the parishes are called upon to take energetic measures in preventing the spread of the dis ease. In Marylebone the officials have determined to adopt the precaution of having additional separate hospitals The Small-pox Hospital is so full that another patient cannot be received, and such an occurrence has not taken place fiw years.

PROGRAMME OF HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO LOCH KATRINE, The following is the programme of the proceed ings to be observed on the occasion of the inaugura tion of the Glasgow Corporation Waterworks at Loch Katrine, on the 14th instant : " Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, with several members of the Royal Family, and their suite, are expected to leave the Palace of Holyrood on Fri pay, the 14th of Oct., about ten o'clock a.m., and to reach Call an d er b y railway about hal-past eleven, where the royal carriages will be waiting the arrival of the train. " The royal cortege will proceed through Callan der and onward by the road leading to the Tros sachs and Loch Katrine, which is expected to be closed for carriages from 10 a.m., in order to pre vent obstruction to the royal progress. Triumphal phal arches and other demonstrations of loyalty are in course of erection in Callander and neigh bourhood. " The military arrangements will be subject to the commanding officer who may be charged with them ; but it may be stated that the Queen's Own Royal Regiment of Glasgow Yeomanry Cavalry (numbering about 80) have loyally tendered their services, and will, if approved of, be in attendance at the railway station to act as a guard and escort the Royal cortege from Callander to Loch Katrine, or to perform any other duty that may be assigned to them. " A strong body of police will also be stationed at Callander, on the road, and at Loch Katrine. The Chamberlain of the Earl of Moray (who is lord of the manor for a large portion of the land. between Callander and the Trossachs), will, if per mitted, escort or accompany the royal cortege through his lordship's estate. "The Lord Willoughby de Eresby, as lo r d o , nd f the e attheWilloughby Trossachs escort t r a t e h n e e r e e m y e a n l t p a o r f t y h t e o r the place o f em b arkation manor, will b e i n attendance at Callander, and estate Ladytat at Loch K atrine.

" The steamer will sail close up to the platform constructed at the mouth of the aqueduct, so as to admit of the royal Party stepping on to it from the steamer. " The Duke of Montrose, as lord of the manor, the Lord Lieutenant and Sheriff of Perthshire, the members of Parliament for the city of Glasgow, a deputation from the Celtic Society of Glasgow (numbering about 80) in their national Highland costume, and other distinguished guests, will be in attendance at the place of ceremony, and several companies of the recently formed Glasgow Volun teer Rifle Corps will, if permitted, line and guard the place of ceremony and road to the cottage. " When the Royal party is arriving at the plat form the band will perform the 'National Anthem.' " The Lord Provost will present an address by the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Common Coun cil of the City of Glasgow, as water commissioners. " Thanksgiving for the accomplishment of the work, and prayer for a blessin upon it g ,will be offered up by one of the city clergymen. "The Queen, if it please her Majesty, may then give instructions for opening the sluices—or do so herself —by opening a small tap which will set in motion machinery for raising the shutters —thereby admitting the water of the loch to the aqueduct. " The Queen, if it please her Majesty, will then declare the waterworks open. " The band will perform Rule Britannia.' " The discharge of artillery on the adjoining heights will announce the completion of the cere mony, and this, it is expected, will be immediately followed by similar discharges of artillery from Stirling and Edinburgh Castles, and by the ringing of bells in the city of Glasgow. After the ceremony, the Royal party will be con ducted to the commissioners' cottage, situated about 150 yards distant from the aqueduct, where lun cheon will be provided. " After luncheon the Royal cortege will return by the same steamer, carriages, and route, to the palace at Holyrood." ----- DEATH OP REAR-ADMIRAL BOWYER.—We regret to announce the death of this gallant officer, Which took place at Southampton on Saturday, in the 70th year of hi. age. _ - THE DERBY BANQUET.—The arrangements for the great Conservative banquet to Lord Derby, to take place on Saturday, the 29th inst., are now nearly completed. The banquet will be given in the Liverpool Philharmonic -hall, a place admirably adapted for the purpose, as combining brilliancy of display with facility of hearing. Six o'clock is the hour appointed for the dinner, and the chair will be oc cupied by Mr. Francis Shand, chairman of the Liverpool Conservative Association. It is intended to be a party de ilonstration, and an imposing array of illustrious names 10 the C onservative ranks is presented in the list of dis tinguished persons who are expected to attend, among whom refry be mentioned Lord Malmesbury, Mr. Disraeli, Sir John Pakington, Lord Chelmsford, Sit H. Cairns, the High Sheriff of the county, Sir R. Gerard, the members for the Southcon Division of Lancashire, Lord A. Egerton and Mr. J. W. Legh ; Mr. T. B. Horsfall, member for the borough; Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, Sir William Jolliffe, Lord Stanley, Lord Ravensworth, General Peel, Lord Hardwicke, Lord Eglintoun, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Marquis of Bath, the Hon. Joseph Napier, the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland, Lord Wilton, Lord John Manners, Col. Taylor, &c. The pr ice of the tickets has been fixed at two guineas, Already the demand for these has been great, and there is no doubt the demonstration will be one of the most splendid and successful ever witnessed in Liverpool, or indeed in any part of the kin gdom.—Liverpooe Courier. liar ad' 97 Ba; 3 1 , 3 p 1%1 . 41 ini cot bit Dit
