Where deaths have occurred on board a ship from any con tagious disease, and the attendant circumstances justify such a course, she is detained at Gravesend until the case can be reported to the Commissioners of Customs. The result usually is an order in Coun cil, on the authority of which the vessel is sent to lie off the Motherbank during the appointed interval of quarantine; but in this instance the Melita, which having run the blockade at Charleston, ran also, so to speak, fiequarani ine blockade at. Gravesend, had been put upon quarantine in a deck crowded with shipping, and in the immediate vicinity of a popu lous suburb of the metropolis, under the peculiar cir cumstances which have been related. It is but right to state that the vessel, when overhauled by the Customhouse examiners in the docks, was found to be remarkably clean, and the captain is said to have taken every precaution to prevent the spread of in fection. The owners, toe, hare shown laudable zeal to carry out the orders of the Customhouse authori ties. Mr. Dixon, medical inspector to the Board of Customs, had been sent specially to report upon the case. On Saturday evening, aft er three days' qua rantine, the vessel was d ec l are d to b e f ree f rom dan ger, and the passengers and c rew were perm itt e d t o leave her. She now lies alongsid e one o f t h e w h ar f s in the dock, but as yet no part of h er cargo h as b een landed. By a peremptory order of the Commissioners of Customs every conceivable article of wearing ap parel and bedding which had belonged to or been used by the persons who died was collected together on the evening of Saturday and burnt in the furnaces of the vessel, under the superintendence of Mr. Giles, a Surveyor of Customs. At his discretion, money and articles of jewelry, some papers of moment to relatives, including in some cases bills and the like for considerable sums of money, were exempted from the order for destruction. The circumstances under which each individual died had not yet transpired publicly, but that the whole of them were carried off by yellow fever it is understood scarcely admits of question. PRICF .4d. STAMPED ....sd. to send Pinelli with Cialdini to Sicily—that Pinelli who, by his bloody proclamations and still bloodier executions, won so sinister a fame in his campaign against the Bourbonist brigands in Abruzzo —is an insult to public opinion. All these measures, I re peat, are deemed extremely objectionable in them selves, and call forth nnfziendly strictures even on the part of men who were hitherto strongly devoted to the Rattazzi Ministry, but they are far more violently attacked on aeccunt of the blank terror and demoralisation which obviously dictated them, and 'which are too naturally calculated to shake public confidence in the Government which did not , scruple to plan nor hesitate to execute them. ,4 What," people ask, "could the Ministers do more, if Garibaldi were already at the gates of Naples, and if one-half of the Royal army had passed over to him? Rattazzi and his colleagues are evidently terrorised, or they would hardly introduce into Sicily a system which so closely resembles the Reign of Terror." Hence the di sma y w hi c h the Governm en t ev i nces in fact, at th e same ti me th a t it prof esses th e most sanguine secu r ity i n wor d s , k ee ping up a genera l uneasiness, which opens the public mind to the most painf u l i mpress i ons. H ence f ort h it i s not t h e actual news f rom Si c il y or C a l a b r i a w hi c h oug ht , most powerfully to interest us ; it is the effect that such news or the comments upon the news are likely to have throughout Italy ; it is the series of strange, ill-considered, more or less pernicious resolutions to which such news is likely to impel the Government: By far the WOist'eirils of the present situation are directly to be traced to the wilful errors committed by the Ministers since their accession to power. Now, it is felt, their remedies are worse than the errors themselves. It was, no doubt, a mistake, a wilful mistake of the Ministers to place avowed Garibaldians at the head of the pre fectures of Palermo, Catanzaro, and so many places of importance; but it was even a greater and more deliberate blunder to substitute Cugia for Pal lavicini, to invest him with full powers, only to re call him at the end of a few days, and before his fitness for his task was fairly tested. Rattazzi must reap as he sowed, not visit on his agents the consequences of his own rashness and improvidence. The demon he was rash enough to evoke is to be laid by no contrivance of his. If Italy is ever to come out unscathed from its present straits, it must certainly be through a different agency than the present Ministry. The first of the public func tionaries to be superseded is the Prime Minister himself. Of this nature are the discourses which I hear about me from morning to night. M. Rattazzi is the only man whom no danger can appal, no disas ter can move. He is " cock-sure" of his business. The people he meets in his way to and from his office are astonished at the blandness, the smooth ness, the flippancy of his manner. He has a smile for every dark omen, a sarcasm under every fresh disaster. That smile, that assurance, are indeed something different from the firm demeanour and lofty serenity of the late Count Cavour. Cavour felt his power; he mastered the situation, he shot his glance far beyond the range of present difficul . ties; strife was his element, he was at home in a storm. No lulling calm deceived him, no sudden squall found him unprepared. Rattazzi lives for the sake of living. Power is to him an end, not a means. The portfolio was the aim of his ambition; he had no scruples as to the means which led him to it ; he is not choice as to the shifts which may enable him to retain it. He took office under the auspices of Napoleon and Garibaldi; he steered between absolutism and re volution, perfectly unconcerned as to which of the two principles would more safely lead him on, which should be stuck to, which sacrificed. As far as the Sarnico expedition the party of action had the upper hand. The Garibaldian De Pretis had a preponderating vote in the council ; Mellana and Brofferio were his best champions in the Chamber; Crispi himself was all but engaged to vote for him. After Sarnico the Minister would fain have cut the Garibaldian concern ; Petitti was listened to as the oracle in the Cabinet; La Marmora was corres ponded with ; repression, reaction were the frenzy of the hour; but the threads of Garibaldi were too widely stretched ; the fisher was too deep in his own net. Italy may, probably,—be under a better master, steered by a steadier helmsman. Thesooner the present pilot is removed from the wheel, the safer the chances that the craft may right herself and the voyage be brought to a happy termination. QUARANTINE IN THE 7HAMES. At this moment an iron screw steamer lies in the Victoria docks at Blackwall, on board which cer tainly eight people, if not nine, have very recently died, in a manner which has been sought to be con cealed or mystified, on a return voyage to this coun try from a port in the Bahamas, which she has com pleted within the last few days. The vessel, which is called the Melita, is of about 800 tons, and be longs to Messrs. Begbie and Campbell, of Mansion house-place. She has arrived in the Thames under circumstances so calculated at first to inspire alarm that they have been brought prominently and spe cially under the notice of the Commissioners of Customs, and also, it is said, of the Board of Health, in the public interest. She left Nassau, New Pro vidence, so recently as Aug. 2, having previously, it is said, run the blockade at Charleston. She had on board a crew of some 50 officers and men and 23 pas sengers,with a general cargo, including about 25 bales of cotton. On the voyage home, which lasted barely 20 days, no fewer than seven of the passengers and the engineer of the vessel died of yellow fever, it is reported, and were buried at sea. The captain and two of the passengers landed at Dover, leaving the ship in charge of the chief mate and a pilot. She then steamed up the Thames, evaded the quarantine regulations at Gravesend, and arrived in the Victoria Docks on the morning of Wednesday or Thursday last. There she was boarded and overhauled in the usual man ner by Mr. Richards, an examining officer of Cus toms, who, in the course of his seareh, heard from some of the crew in an incidental way of what had happened on the voyage, and which he deemed it his duty to report immediately to head -quarters. He and two or three of his assistants, with a pilot named Brooks and some other people who had gone on board, apprehending nothing wrong, were con demned to remain there, as were also all the sur , viving passengers and crew, during three or four days and nights. The vessel was pushed off into the basin, detached from the quay and away from the rest of the ships, w hile a vigilant g uar d was kept over her lest any one on board sho u ld escape, and, what was most likely , lest any one should ap proach her. A foolhardy man, detected in the act of attempting to take a bottle of beer or spirits on board, was put under arrest for the greater part of a day. Another who had gone on board before the discovery was made, threw a written message on shore to explain his absence to his family, but it was seen and kicked into the basin. It is, of course, matter of surprise that a vessel so circumstanced should have eluded the quarantine watch at Graves end, but that is explained in a manner which would seem to imply both laxity on the part of the Cus tom-house authorities there, and evasion on that of the officer in charge of the steamer. Ordinarily, when a vessel arriving from a foreign port is chal lenged by an officer of Customs at Gravesend, the captain is asked a series of set questions as to the health of the crew and passengers—whether there had been any deaths on board, and the like. That is said to be the invariable rule with respect to sailing vessels, but it would appear to be some what relaxed—one scarcely knows why—in the case of steamers when under full steam, the officers in charge of which are usually impatient of being stopped in their course to reply to all the prescribed interrogatories, especially when they are themselves satisfied with the sanitary condition of the vessel. In such a case the customary ques- THE DES7.RUCTION OF 7HE WORKS AT IHE BREAKWATER FORT. PLYMOUTH, AUG. 26. The structure destroyed here yesterday was a large framework of timber erected on the Shovel Rock in the Sound, to assist in constructing the foundation for the fort proposed to be erected just inside the breakwater. This foundation is to be a massive piece of masopry, formed of large blocks of concrete, made to dovetail into each other in courses faced with proportionate blocks of stone, also dove tailed together, and to be carried up to within a few feet of low water mark. Large works have been erected at Laird, on the border of the Catwater, about three miles from the site of the fort, for the preparation of these blocks of concrete and stone, which were to be taken out to the site all ready to be lowered into their places. For several months a large number of men, sometimes amounting to 190, have been employed in preparing the rock, and in Feb. last the erection of this scaffolding that has been de stroyed was commenced. It was to consist of a circle of piles driven in the rock round the founda tion, the piles to be about 70ft. in length, and formed of balks of timber bolted together with iron shoes 41in. square and sft. in length. The piles supported by guys carried to Lewises, suitable fas tenings also driven in the rock. Large pieces of timber, technically termed " longitudinals," to be fastened across the piles as ties and braces, along the top tramways to be laid for the trollies or tra velling cranes, from which the blocks were to be lowered to their places in the foundation. Up to yesterday the piles had been driven, the guys secured, and the men were employed in lay ing the longitudinals, having reached to about the water's edge. At low water about 40ft. of the piles were exposed to the action of the winds and waves, without having been consolidated by the courses of longitudinals that were yet to be erected and the tramways. A strong easterly wind prevailed, and at about low water some of the eastern piles and guys gave way, and destruction to the whole of the rest of the structure within a few minutes was the consequence. The piles broke off nearly all their shoes, and floated to the surface. There were about seven men on them at the time of the accident, who fortunately all escaped with an immersion and two of them being rather severely bruised. Mr. Brown, the foreman, also had a narrow escape with an immer sion, being in a pinnace which was crushed and sunk by a falling pile. Another boat was also de stroyed, but its occupants also escaped. By this accident the laying of the foundation stone has been retarded at the earliest for several months. It was hoped to be ready to lay on the coming birthday of the Prince of Wales. The contractors, Messrs. Lee and Son, of Lon don, are also heavy losers, the whole six months' labour having been sacrificed, in addition to the damage done to the materials. THE CONDEMNED CRIMINAL TAYLOR. The demeanour of this wretched man since his condemnation has not indicated the slightest con trition for the great offence for which the forfeiture of his life is to be the penalty. He takes his food regularly, sleeps well, and spends the greater por tion of his time during the day in the perusal of re ligious books. He converses freely, and even cheer fully, with those who approach him, but makes no reference to the crime for which he is to suffer. He has the benefit of the ministrations of the much-re spected chaplain of the gaol, the Rev. T. Appleton, i who visits him daily. As is customary in the case of prisoners under sentence of death,Taylor is attended night and day by officers of the prison. During the trial the prisoner's father, who is 70 years of age, and an unmarried sister, a middle-aged . woman, and the daughter of another sister, a girl about 18, w ere in the vicinity of the court, and at their urgen t re quest were permitted to have an interview with Taylor before he was conveyed back to gaol. Th e interview was of a very painful nature. Hi s s i ster who is, it is said, an exceedingly intelligent, well; informed woman, had frequently written to h er lin . happy brother during his incarceration with a view of bringing him to a proper se nse of the appalling position in which he is placed, b ut it does not ap pear that her praiseworthy efforts have been attended w ith much success. At this m ee ti ng s he spoke to him on the subject andf a l so concerning t h e d eat h s of the children, when he ex c l a i me d, with some im petuosity, "I did not murder them; Mellor mur dered them, and they'll murder me," and evidently showed that he did not wish to hold any further conversation respe c ti ng the fearful tragedy. Hi s relations took a last farewell of him on Thursday, and on the following morning proceeded to Man chester, it being understood they went thither for the purpose of visiting the graves of the murdered ' children in Harpurhey Cemetery. Mrs. Taylor also had an interview with her husband soon after he had been visited by . the relatives spoken of, and was with him a considerable length of time. She was most tenderly attached to him, and still enter tained as strong an affection for him as ever, it is said. She was overwhelmed with grief, but the criminal was apparently comparatively unmoved. He expressed a gre a t d es i re that she s h ou ld not leave Liveipool until a f ter hi s execut i on , a nd she promised to comply w ith hi s w i s h . A t h er request lodgings were tak en f or h er i n t h e h ouse of a resi dent near the gaol. Mrs. Taylor returned . to the prison after the trial, and remained there during the night, leaving on Friday morning. On the even ing of that d a y one o f h er unc l es arrivedin Liver pool from I)unster, Somersetshire, and propcsed to her that she should at once take leave of her unfor tunate husband, return with him (the uncle) to Minster, and there spend the remainder of her days. Mrs. Taylor at first was not at all inclined to con sent to this course, seeming to feel great repugnance at the idea of so soon parting for ever with her hus band, and wished to postpone the final interview as long as possible ; but on it being urgently repre sented by her uncle and her legal adviser that her frequent visits would only have the effect of dis tracting the mind of the wretched criminal, and prevent him making due preparation f or t h e fate which inevitably a e:aits him, she at length reluo tantly yielded to their entreaties, and on Saturday a ft ernoo n proceeded to the gaol, accompan i e d by her uncle, for the purpose of biddi ng t h e con demned man a last farewell. As will b e rea dily imagined, the interview was of the mo s t h eartren ding descrip tion. Taylor had, notthe slightest idea of his wife's determination until she c ommun i ca ted it to him her self, and there is no doubt it was altogether unex pected by him. Mrs. Taylor, w© understand, left Liverpool for Somersetshire on Saturday evening. In the ordinary course of things the execution will take place on the second Saturday after the termi nation of the assizes.--ZtVerpoo/ Mercury. THE SUN, LONDOY„ WEDNESDAY EVENT (mss AUGUST 27, 1862.

Upwards of three-quarters of an hour was consumed at the post, occasioned by the continual breaking away of Twilight, Surbiton Hill, East Sheen, and the Witch of Endor. At last the patience of the spectators was re warded by the signal flag being lowered, amid a buzz of satisfaction. Twilight was the first off, and came on with a slight lead, but after running some few strides she was pulled back, and the lead was taken up by The Maltster, who, with East Sheen, Twilight, Diana, Hungerford, and the Gray Hen colt, lying close up, came on in company to the distance, where Twilight, in company with East Sheen, dropped back, and Diana, in company with the favourite on the near side, appeared in front, closely fol lowed by the Gray Hen colt, the Maltster and Overton, to which lot the race was now confined. On reaching the entrance to the stand enclosure, the two leaders appeared in difficulties, and shortly after were headed by the Gray Hen colt, who, full of running, came on with a decided lead, and won very cleverly by a length and a half, two lengths between the second and third. The Maltster was fourth, Overton was fifth, and East Sheen and Michel Grove, close together, next, the last two being Fanny Bow line and May-be.

Jackson followed, and in a short time gained 21, con taining two fours, a three, and two twos ; eight wickets, , and 497 runs. Mr. V. E. Watker next appeared, and Iddi , son, who had been batting for some time remarkably well, at length succumbed to Mr. Miller. His score was 33, made up by three fours, six twos, and singles; nine wickets and 501 runs. Mr. V. E. Walker added a single, and was then bowled by Caffyn, Biddulph taking his bat out for two. The innings thus closed for 503—the largest score ever recorded. England may be said to have occupied the wickets two days, for it was half-past 5 when the innings terminated. The fielding of Surrey was excellent, and no fault could be found with the bowling, beyond its not being equal to the splendid batting it had to contend against. The spectators seemed highly gratified at the cricket displayed, and testi fied it by their applause. Shortly before six o'clock Sur rey commenced their innings by sending in Mortlock and T. Humphrey against the bowling of Mr. V. E. Walker and Willsher. Humphrey did not score ; one wicket and 4 runs. Mr. Burbridge came next, and here we regret to state, after a four had been scored off Willsher from a "no ball," called by the umpire, John Lillywhite, and called so suc cessively for four or five balls following,a "sensation" scene took place. Willsher threw the ball indignantly on the ground and left the field, followed soon after by the rest of the 11, and all play was put an end to for the evening. For some time past it has been a moot point regarding " high bowling," and although the " cricket laws" define it, still it has been a growing fashion to get high, and with Willsher it is considered by some particularly so. But however this may be Willsher's high bowling has never before been in terfered with, and, like that of others, perhaps, may have been permitted under sufferance. With this, however, we have nothing to do, it rests with the umpires to decide,and John Lillywhite being one of those ftmctionarit3s, we think he was perfectly justified in calling "no ball" if in his judgment-it was unfairly delivered. During- the canna tion the Surrey Club held a committee meeting in the pavilion, and it was urged that John 'Lillywhite had ful filled his duties as umpire according to his honest convic tion, and he stated that he should continue to do so, but as the Surrey Club were desirous that no interruption should take place in the match, he would resign. He did so, and another will be appointed. It was not altogether the "high bowling" that was objected to, but the umpire considered it a " throw." Willsher having apologised for his hasty manner in leaving the ground, the game will Le resumed this morning. STOCKTON MEETING.-TUESDAY.

This is not only one of the most extraordinary matches ever chronicled in the annals of cricket, but the most extraordinary. On Monday the match was commenced, at the close of the day's play England left off with 244 runs, with the loss of three wickets, Carpenter being not out with 61, and Hayward with 28. Yesterday, on the game being resumed, Carpenter and Hayward again occupied the wickets, the bowlers being Humphrey and Ca ffyn, Carpenter made up his runs to 94, comprising a five (drive), five foi irs, two threes, and six twos ; four wickets, and 338 runs. C jar penter was caught very cleverly by Stephenson off his c bowling. Anderson joined Hayward, and though a change of bowling was tried, Mr. Miller going on at Hump hre y's end, the batting still prevailed. L ckyer left his p( )st as wicketkeeper, and relieved Mr. Miller of the ball, Griffi th taking Lockyer's place. No immediate effect took place but after two or three " overs," Lockyer succeeded in low( irin,g Hayward's stumps, after a magnificent innings of 117, gained in a masterly manner. Among his hits werr ) seven fours, five threes, and 12 twos. He was deserv' glly ap plauded, and both he and Carpenter received the. 66 talent money" at the pavilion awarded by the Surrey 1;lub. Five wickets, and 402 runs. The Hon. C. G. Lytf,elton came next, and the batting still held the ascendancy. Mr, Lyttol ton, however, was the first to part, Griffith cleverly catch - ng him at the wicket off Mr. Miller, after- mark? ig 26, in which were two fours, a three, and three twos; cc wickets and 445 runs. Iddison filled the vacancy, and it seemed as if the run-getting could not ba stopped, thong h all that could bowl were made available. Griffith at the wicket, however, again showed his efficiency by cad l ing Ander son, off Sewell, after a quickly got innings of 42 !, comprising two fours, a three, and six twos; seven wick etc and 451 THE ITALIAN GO VERNMENT. (From the Correspondent of the:Tunes.): TURIN, AUG. 24. We live here in such a dense atmosphere of lies that the very perceptive faculties of the utterers of falsehood are darkened and perverted till they are unable to see how easily truth makes its way through the colossal fabric of deception with which they strive to environ it. Liars, says the old pro verb, ought to have good memories ; they ought equally to be supplied with a proper amount of common sense and discernment. It may, indeed, be questionable whether " stories" can ever do any good, even to those who know how to tell them, but those who go to work clumsily are sure to be much more harmed than aided by any deviation from the truth. The Diseusszone, a paper lately got up by the Deputy Boggio, at the expense and in support of the Rattazzi Ministry, had the assurance to publish yesterday afternoon the following as an " official communication :" "The great majority of the population (of Cata nia) is in favour of the Government. Palermo, Messina, and the other parts of the island are quiet. In Caltanisetta, and in all the places where Gari baldi and his bands have been, everything has been restored to order, and the King's Government is perfectly re-established." Could any one believe, after such cheering " offi cial" intelligence, that the Military Gazette, also an official organ, should inform us that Cialdini takes with him to Sicily " the 9th, 14th, 15th, 33d, 34th, and 60th Regiments of Infantry, two squadrons of the Novara Lancers, and two companies of Engi neers ?" Can it be possible, when we hear that the Sicilian movement is everywhere suppreised, or at least reduced to the walls of a city, more than half the people of which are " against Garibaldi,"—a city, too, beset by an overwhelming Royal force quartered at Misterbianco, only a very few miles from the place,--cannot be possible that so consi derable a division should be despatched by sea, at so great an outlay of money, with such utter disre gard of the dangers accruing to the Emilian fron tier, from the line of which those troops are impro vidently removed, that it should be sent to a coun try which has shown so little disposition to listen to the voice of the charmer, and which has so soon recovered its senses, even where it allowed itself one moment's aberration and madness ? It is by such shifts of palpable equivocation that the Rattazzi Cabinet forfeits whatever credit it ever enjoyed with the country at large, and weakens its own influence at a crisis which calls for the greatest energy on the part of the ruling powers. Every effort that is made by the authorities to pal liate, to put off, or any how to tamper with the damning truth, far from calming the ex citement which has here risen to the highest pitch, only adds fuel to the flame, as the people are easily made aware that the real truth is hidden from them, and they naturally enough put upon that constant, jealous, systematic concealment a construction a hundred times more distressing and harassing to the public mind than the most desperate intelligence would be. There must be a reason even for mere reticence, but for deliberate fabrication there must be a hundred reasons, and all bad ones. I spoke in one of my foregoing letters of certain information which had reached one of the Southern deputies here that 17 officers of one of the regiments at Aderno had thrown up their commissions, as nothing would induce them to fight against Gari baldi_ I had good reason to believe the fact to be precisely as it was represented. The report, how ever, was strongly contradicted by official authori ties, and even my well-grounded belief was stag gered, when lo to-day we have in black and white the names of the officers in question, and the assur ance that other officers of the same brigade, making up altogether 46 persons, have also given up their epaulettes and abandoned their posts. There seems, moreover, to be no doubt that the Bersaglieri battalion, which landed the other day at Genoa from Palermo, had to be hurried away from the island, in consequence of the Garibaldian ten dencies it had most unequivocally evinced. Were it even possible to reject al'. these particulars as un founded reports, the damning fact would always remain that 20,000 men under Ricotti and Melia, whose only object was to prevent Garibaldi's enter ing Catania, signally failed in their efforts, and that Cialdini declined to accept the command of the Royal troops in Sicily, unless he could take along with him such troops as he could trust—a sufficient evidence that he did not think he could equally rely on those who are already on the spot, and that the unsoldier-like conduct of the commanders who preceded him must be excused on the ground of the untrustworthiness of their troops. You must not think that I am only repeating what I have already said in my yesterday's letter. The proclamation of the state of siege, the appointment of Persano and Cialdini to the supreme civil, mili tary, and naval command, and the decree announc ing the blockade of the island, have thrown the whole of Italy into a consternation which I have no power to describe. Everyone feels that those measures are extremely bad in themselves, that the state of siege, the suspension of all constitutional rights, the suppression of all liberties, are remedies which hardly the very worst disorders could justify ; that Persano, who was highly unpopular with the service before he became a member of the Cabinet, has only added to the number of his enemies by the exercise of his Ministerial powers; that Cialdini, however distinguished for his valour and genius in the field, gave proofs of incapacity as an adminis trator at Naples, and showed at that juncture too great a favour to that very Garibaldian party which he is now going to crush; that the blockade of Sicily, absurd as it is in itself, is sure to give offence to all foreign powers interested in free commercial intercourse, those very Powers Italy should do all in her power to conciliate ; and that the resolution 7 I
