The members of Parliament are performing their autumn duty of giving an account of their steward ship in almost every part of the country—Castle Hedingham and Colchester, Glasgow and Green wich, not to mention the orations of Lord PALMER STON, Mr. GLADSTONE, and Sir G. C. LEwfs—and all of them, with the exception of the reticent Premier, seem to look to America as the topic of their speeches. Lord PALMERSTON'S two subor- dinates take almost opposite views of the main question ; Mr. GLADSTONE in his ardour and en- thusiasm declaring that JEFFERSON DAVIS has made the South a nation, and given it an army and navy; Sir GEORGE, on the other hand, deep student as he is in the NIEBUHR school of sceptical history, can believe nothing of the kind. It may be so, sooner or later, but the historical doubter finds himself most at home in present political doubt— the South is not yet a nation. That Mr. GLADSTONE has the greatest number of followers can hardly be doubted. Some foolish errors of the North, the successful fighting of the the South under great dif ficul ties , the distress of our cotton operatives, themagic rni e n if d e e c , t o f general the word "independence," on English im pression that an Empire comprising the whole continent of North America would be unfavour able to the independence of other nations; a ll these things combined with the remembrance of the bullying and sharp practice of the States of late years, have combined to create in this country a growing good feeling towards the Southern cause; hence we find Whig and Tory, borough and county members all leaning more or less strongly to the South, and a few even supporting the policy of speedy recognition. As the rule, however, the neutrality, we have rigidly observed, is the policy that finds general favour. " The quarrel does not belong to us, in Heaven's name let us keep out of it "—has been the sentiment expressed in various forms by most of the speakers. That demand we, too, on the whole, quite concur in. There are, we acknowledge, the strongest humani • tarian reasons for recognition—that is, in one aspect of the case ; in another we shall presently advert to, just the contrary. We can hardly doubt that re cognition of the South by the great Powers of Eu rope would speedily b r i ng th e war to a close. It does not seem to us likely that, as some have thought, irritation with Europe would m/ke the North more Obst at. There are too many th ere w h o, w i th gold ita present e normous premium, and th e tax , gatherer ready to k c fIE at the door, n o t t o men numerous tion the a:l i ai . lies in mourni ng f or the thousands o f the pretext to withdra w fro would be glad of a m th e struggle. . j uggle. The udg ment of a number of friendly an nations would be hailed as a happy grouti for artial able peue an d Mr, Lvico lai vioul an honour -3 / d and htklt hib It would be, therefore, conspicuously unfair, now that the North has begun to use the weapon, which all lovers of human freedom in England told them they ought to use from the first, if we should now intervene, and by recognition turn aside the stroke of Northern justice from Southern crime. The North might justly feel, through a long course of its future history, that England, the avowed and sincere enemy of slavery, stayed the hand of the North when it was uplifted to smite the monster. History justly censures our ancestors for forcing slaves on American colonists. History would as justly censure our preventing the abolition of the evil when so fair an opportunity had offered. We are, therefore, especially bound now to give the North the fullest and fairest scope. Let her work emancipation to the uttermost. Let her try, late as it is in the war, whether she can gain the confidence of the coloured people. Let her call on the loyal blacks to quit the service of their dis loyal white oppressors, and enlist under the Federal banner ; let the South find that, while by a system of terrorism it has silenced all Unionism in its slave States, it cannot silence the Union sentiment in 4,000,000 of its population, if the Union, to that four millions, means freedom, and Secession means slavery. Englishmen of all persons in the world are bound to regard the black Americans not as chattels but as persons—and, as persons to admit their right to be heard on the subject of secession. When, therefore, the question now comes before the four millions in this form, " Will you be free in the Union or slaves in Secession ?" we ought to demand that the four millions shall have a fair opportunity to express their opinion. The North will now have difficult work, it is true, to give effect to its proclamation, but the dif ficulties will vanish fast, if the new policy be firmly persisted in. In the Revolutionary war no fewer than three of our commanders adopted the emanci pation scheme, and found it one of their most effective devices. JEFFERSON said that, under Lord CORNWALLIS'S hands, Virginia lost 30,000 slaves. The North has far better opportunities of giving effect to its purpose than CORNWALLIS had, and we only hope that it will pursue that purpose gene rously towards the loyal black, relentlessly towards the guilty slaveholders. More signal retribution the justice of Heaven could hardly inflict than to de prive them of their slaves, the wretches who have plunged a continent into a horrible war, solely that they might preserve slavery, and extend it far and wide over halt North America. One of the last parliamentary proceedings of the Dandy Radical so long popular among the : electors of Finsbury as M.P. for that metropolitan borough, was the inquiry instituted by him as to the number of then reported infanticides ! The paper moved for by the late THOMAS SLINGSBY DUN COMBE was in due course laid upon the table of the Legislature. It revealed, in the shape of certain reliable and very terrible statistics, an appalling spread of depravity among large classes of our me tropolitan population. It told tales of seduction and of child murder, of licentiousness and cruelty, almost incredible for their frequency. It was noticeable in the first place that the instances of infanticide numbered up in this lamentable parlia mentary return, were those that had been subjected, each in turn, at the date of its discovery, to the scrutiny of a Coroner's Inquest. From the secrecy that may not unreasonably be supposed to accom pany the perpetration of this miserable crime, the inference naturally drawn from the above conside ration is —that, great though the number , of cases of infanticide brought under judicial and medical investigation before the coroner, countless other cases were successfully huddled out of view, even during the same interval of time to which Mr. DUNCOMBE'S Parliamentary record re lated, were never heard of at all, never brought to light, never subjected to even a passing suspicion. Since the date to which we are referring, the date upon which such a startling flood of light, thanks to the late M.P. for Finsbury, was thrown by order of Parliament—the crime of infanticide, so far from diminishing, has very largely increased. The late respected Coroner, Mr. WAKLEY (once upon a time Mr. DUNCOMBE'S colleague in the representation of Finsbury), though he had frequently occasion to comment in strong terms of horror and dismay to the recurrence of this very atrocity of child-murder, of the strangulation, or suffocation, or mortarleemoalleiem ing of newly-bo r n infants—never to our tion deemed it incumbent upon him to speak in language of such unmeasured abhorrence of this wide-spread iniquity as his successor, Dr. LANKES TER, has very recently within the brief period of hia tenure of office in Middl esex . S carce ly a single day, as he tells us, can pass by without his receiving a MUMS to preside atone or more inquests upon Again, there is a well known system, for years and years adopted in France, in con nection with the beneficent edifices set apart there for the Infants Trouves. The simple device of the bell and the turn table ! In Paris the cases of infanticide during the use of that system were far less frequent than they have for a long while been here in London. Objections might be raised, nay, objections have been raised before now against the importation to England of this very simple but very ingenious device of the bell and the turn table —upon the score of its being an encouragement to licentiousness ! Objections as valid might apply to the benevolent designs set on foot by generous and gentle hearted philanthropists like that humane Old Salt, Capt. CORAM. So long as the noble insti tution of the Foundling Hospital is flourishing down yonder at Bloomsbury, it is idle to talk of the mere fact of provision being made for bastard chil dren —being an injudicious, nay, more, a positively pernicious species of benevolence, insuring the ac cordance of aid and encouragement to profligacy. While the Foundling Hospital remains extant among our charitable institutions as a Foundling Hospital, it is idle to raise that kind of objection to the adoption, at any rate the experimental adoption, of little adjuncts like the bell and turntable. What ever else might be said as to the effect of its being brought into operation here in London (if but for a while), it would quite clearly and for an absolute certainty render inevitable the diminution of the number of cases of infanticide. As to the closing of those nightly haunts of vice, which afford beyond all denial such frequent opportunities for seduction, the dancing saloons and similar places of public entertainment—worse than whitened sepulchres, gilded lures to guilt—that is a wider, ampler, and more comprehensive precautionary measure, upon the advantages of which it is not in any way necessary here to dilate. Enough for our present purpose, for the enforcement of the ideas that have thrust themselves upon our attention, if we add not another word to what we have already here written to the end that something at least may be attempted, with a view to diminish in future the number of annual instances of infan ticide in the cities of London and Westminster. TAXATION IN AUSTRIA.—At the sitting of the Australian Chamber of Deputies on the 18th the Minister of Finance presented a new bill based on the one before withdrawn for increasing the taxes for three succes- sive years. In doing so he stated that the deficit for 1862 would be twenty-five millions less than was at first calculated. The year 1863 would commence with 22 millions in hand, and no recourse would be had to a loan to cover the deficit, particularly if the proposed increase of the taxes and the bill on the Bank should be approved of by the Chamber of Deputies. According to the new bill, the extraordinary addition to the direct taxes established by Imperial ordinance on the 13th May, 1859, would be in creased as follows for 1863, 1861, and 1865 :—The land tax to be carried to five-twelfths of the ordinary imposts, and the tax on houses, trade licences, the contribute arsi e cern tnercio of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, and the income tax, to be d€.ubled, Major Bruce, of the King's County Rifles, was nearly lost in a gale on Lough Dearg last week. His yacht Lurline, caught in a tremendous gale on Thursday night, was driven aground and abandoned. The Major, Mr. Hutton, and the crew got into the small boat, and after an hour's hard rowing amid the billows reached a small island, where they were obliged to remain all night. Some valuable articles were left behind in the yacht and lost. SUSPECTED MURDER AND MUTILATION.—Consi• derable excitement has been caused in the usually quiet district of the Thorne Levels, during the past week (says a Manchester contemporary), by the disco very of the body of a female in a ditch, under very suspicious circumstances. On Thursday last, as some children were gathering black berries on the edge of a ditch which separates the farms of Mr. H. W. Godfrey and Mr. Charles Makins, on the Low Levels, in a very lonely spot between the Low Bank and the Hatfield Waste Drain, they saw an object which caused them to call the attention of some labourers in a field ad joining, and, on their reaching the place, they were horror struck to find the body of a female in a very advanced stage of decomposition. She was lying in the bottom of the ditch, with both her arms cut completely off, and they were no where to be seen. No weapons of any kind were found near her. Information was at once given to Sergt. Gibson, of Hatfield, who proceeded to the spot. Mr. J. J. Little a ood, surgeon, of Thorne, was also summoned to make a professional examination of the deceased. Her name and address aro at present unknown. An inquest was held at Black Bull Inn, Levels, en Saturday last, before Mr. Mar ratt, the district coroner, but, after hearing the evidence that could bo produced, it was adjourned to the 4th Nov. next. From the depositions taken, and from certain other facts which have come to the knowledge of the authorities, very little doubt is entertained that the deceased met with her end by foul means. The police aro taking steps to find out her name, and where she comes from, and also the whereabouts of the suspected murderer, and it is hoped their efforts will be successful. DESTRUCTION OF A BARGE BY FlRE.—Yester day morning, between the hours of two and three o'clock, a most destructive fire broke out in a barge belonging to H. Dudin and Sons, Springall'e-wharf, Bermondsey-wall, which caused a general alarm. The barge was laden with a cargo of spirits and lucifer-matches. A man named Henry Steed was so severely burnt in cutting away the ropes that his removal to Guy's Hospital was rendered necessary. The barge was eventually removed and fastened to a buoy in the middle of the river, but the fire could not be extinguished, and the cargo was therefore destroyed and the barge eunk. EXHIBITION SALE.—A sale took place yesterday at-the Auction Mart, by order of the Imperial Commission of the French department, of a choice and remarkable assortment of wines, spirits, and liqueurs, from all the de partments of France and Algeria, which have been selected from the finest vintage of the last 50 years, and comprising above 300 dozens of Maconnais, Beaujolais, Bordeaux, Rhenish, `'ins du Midi, and other superior wines of every description. In Maccranais, the prices ranged from 13s. to 445. per dozen. In Beaujolais, from 2 65. to 365, and in Bordeaux, f rom 28 s. to 365. The sum per dozen in each case was ex c l us i ve of duty and all other charges, w hi ch have to be paid by the purchaser. THE AMERICAN WAR, NEW YORK, OCT. 4. R A.

Precisely this fact, however, in the case of those who think so, is one of the strongest reasons why Europe should hesitate. It is hardly fair for the Old World thus to take sides, practically, with one party in the New. Sir G. C. LEWIS must be right, internationally, when he says, Let one side give in, or become manifestly unequal to the continuance of the contest, before we, as third parties, practically award to either the the to S d o e t l a h r ew that ould t b h e e palm of success.T w o e re e c o o n gn do ise it: however, so far as South has won. Supposing, then, which we think likely, that European recognition would speedily put an end to the present bloodshed, we incline to the opinion of the Secretary for War, that it would do so at the expense of international justice. And if so, not being Jesuits, we must not admit that the end would justify the means. But we must confess that we have a yet weightier reason now for object ing to recognition. We were more favourably in clined towards it before the PRESIDENT'S late pro clamation than we now are. Defective as that pro clamation is in point of principle, wanting as it does all the nobler inspiration, content as it is to rest its justification on its military expediency, it neverthe less inaugurates a new era in the war. We must be fair to Mr. LINCOLN and his party. We may think them wrong; CHARLES SUMNER, with many other distinguished Americans, think them wrong; still they adhere strongly to their opinion, that they ought not to diverge from the constitution in regard to slavery, further than they are driven by the imperative necessities of War. With Mr. SUMNER we think this " peculiar tenderness, whenever slavery is in question," a great folly, and something worse. With him we, too, should exclaim, "I am tired and disgusted at hearing the constitution perpetually invoked for slavery." Property, life, personal liberty, are all dealt with unconstitutionally, because the supreme law of national safety overrides in the emergency the terms of the constitution ; why spare from like dealing, the most unjustifiable property of all ? However, at last the PRESIDENT and his friends see that with their policy of the Union as their Alpha and Omega, slavery must be touched. Slavery began secession—it has nursed secession—it has maintained Southern families at home, while the liberated whites were making forays into Mary land and Pennsylvania. Slavery has proved itself, in fact, the sinews of Southern war; and the procla mation is become a necessity to hamstring those sinews. the dead, and often mutilated bodies of infants just newly born. The metropolis is perpetually literred with these miserable evidences, first of all, of profli gacy, and afterwards of deliberate homicide. In the majority of instances, no doubt, of seduction, and in every instance of cold-blooded murder. Mr. DUNCOMBE'S paper having been moved for long ago, duly ordered, and eventually published—is nothing , more to be done ? Since then, as we have said, as we am perpetually observing, as the authoritative assurance of the principal coroner of the county most conclusively informs us, there is a regular and alarm ing increase of this woeful, and pitiless, and devilish crime of infanticide. Child murder being one of the most inhuman of all kinds of murder, at once from the innocence of the victim and its utter help lessness ! Can nothing further be done, if only in the way of an attempt to ensure a diminution of the number of infanticides. There are several things obviously that might be attempted to this end. Are none of them worth even a temporary trial ? Our boasted system of detective police might be challenged to give the public fresh evidence of its utility, by the devotion of a large proportion of the energy, of the skill, sagacity, and experience sup posed to belong to it, to the investigation of the evil sources of this plague-spot in the capital, to the tracing out of this particular kind of guilt, and the consequent diminution of the number of instances which but for some such alarm would be perpe trated. The detectives should be put in this matter upon their mettle. They should" be called upon, if only in vindication of their high repute (a repute jeopardised in a great measure by the constant re currence of a crime so dreadful and so flagrant in its character) they should be called upon, in vindi cation of their once high but diminishing reputa tion, to co-operate with the regular body of police, in endeavouring to trace out some of the perpetra , tors of this constantly recurring crime of infanti cide. LATEST NE WS. BERLIN, OCT. 24. The semi-official A llgenzeine Preussische (Stern) Zeitung, of to-day, "publishes a leading article on the last session of the Chambers, which concludes as follows : "All the proposals of the Government, aiming at a conciliatory solution of the question of the military budget, having been rejected by the Cham ber of Deputies, the Government has been placed in a new position. The country may be convinced, by its former conduct and by its present dispsi tion to effect a constitutional solution of the question, that the Government will take care to narrow the conflict within the smallest possible grounds that is to say, to the maintenance of the unavoidable military ex penditure of 1862, and which will be defrayed under the constitutional responsibility of the Ministers. " But very shortly the means prescribed by publie duty and conscience will be employed in order, at the beginning of the next session, to effect a definitive constitutional solution of the question at issue, to restore to the country entire peace in the interior, and to ensure the undisturbed development of our constitutional institutions. " May the people fully trust in the Constitution and in the faithful intentions and endeavours of the Government. May they not be misled by party agitation, but aid the Government in restoring and cementing peace." TURIN, OCT. 23. The deputation appointed to convey the gift of the Romans to the Queen of Portugtl has delivered the following address to King Victor Emmanuel : " Sire,—Your fellow-citizens will view, in the honour which your Majesty confers by receiving us, a new proof that force still keeps you afar from Rome. But we know that your heart is with us. Rome suffers indignantly, but confides in your Majesty's word. In every event you will find in her people the energetic desire that justice may be done to Italy." The King thanked the Roman deputation in his daughter's name. PARIS, OCT. 23, EVENING. La France of this evening says:— " It appears certain that M. de Sartiges, the new Ambassador at the Italian Court, will request the Italian Government to give its adhesion to the plan of reconciliation between Italy and the Papacy which Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne has been in structed to support in Rome. This plan, in con formity with the published letter of the Emperor, consists of the guarantee of the Pontifical territory by the European Powers." TURIN, OCT. 23. A deputation, consisting of the Duna di Sforza, the Senator Cesarine, and the Deputy Silvestrelli, was received to-day by the King, and presented to his Majesty the marriage gift sent by the citizens of Rome to the Queen of Portugal The Official Gazette denies the statement of Depu ties Crispi and Deboni, that the Government had forbidden Dr. Bertani to visit Garibaldi the first day of his illness. The Discussione of to-day says that it is con sidered likely the Ministry will come to an under standing with Signori Farini and Minghetti. The same paper mentions a rumour that M. Dronyn de Lhuys has proposed the revocation of the vote of the Italian Parliament which declared Rome the capital of Italy, and adds that no Minis try would be possible in Italy which would permit any mutilation of the national programme.

It is asserted that the Spanish Government has signified to President Juarez that they will sign no treaty whatever with him. PRO.SECUTION OF "ESSAYS AND .REVIEIVS." This apparently interminable subject, which has occa -1 sioned so much controversy and so much angry feeling in the Church, will be brought once more before Dr. Lushing ton,te h the Dean of the Court of Arches, on Monday, 3d of November, unless, indeed, the case should come before the Judicial Committee of Privy Council on technical grounds arising out of the learned judge's decision on the admissibility of the articles of the 25th of June last. The Bishop of Salisbury intends prosecuting the case against the Rev. Dr. Rowland Williams, vicar of Broad Chalke, and has amended the articles filed in accordance with the decision of the Court, so that probably Dr. Lushington will be able to pronounce judgment on the merits of the I case in the course of the forthcoming term. The proceed ings are taken under the general ecclesiastical law, and not under the statute of Elizabeth, and the specific charges which Dr. Williams has to meet are set forth in the revised articles which the Bishop of Salisbury has framed. Th e bishop has reformed the articles in which Dr. Williams is alleged to have said that the Bible is simply an expression of devout reason, and that the sacred writers were merely passionless machines, as being a violation of the 6th and 7th of the thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The bishop hits also reformed the 12th article filed against Dr. Wil liams, in which he is alleged to deny the views held by the Church of England on the propitiation and satisfac tion made by Christ for the sins of the world. Some other articles have been reformed, but the articles which are now omitted, ',and which will not be argued, contain the charges against Dr. Williams of denying the Messianic character of Christ, the authenticity of the Book of Daniel, the Epistle to the Hebrews, and the Petrine Epistles, the divinely ordained nature of water in baptism as a means grace, the doctrine of the resurrection, and the incarna tion. That article is also omitted which dec'ares that the tendency, object, and design of the whole Essay is to inculcate a disbelief in the Divine inspiration and orthodoxy of the Holy Scriptures, In the course of the next term the case of the Rev. James Fendall, rector of Harlton, and proctor in the Lower House of Con vocation for the clergy of the diocese of Ely, against the Rev. Henry Bristowe Wilson, 8.D., vicar of Great Slaugh- . ton, Huntingdonshire, the author of the article on the Na tional Ch urc h i n E ssays and Reviews will also b e proceeded with, and judgment probably delivered. The works in the interior of the cathedral of Notre Dame, which were resumed on the 17th of August last, will not las terminated before the 20th December next. fhe building will then be reopened for public worship. The closing of the church was necessary from the nature of the repairs to be effected.

Durant and Co. state :—The periodical public sales commenced yesterday and are concluded. The quantity printed was about 1,600 bales Bengal, 5,000 bales China, and 1,000 bales Japan, with about 700 bales Can ton silk. Unfortunately the proportion of currently useable silk which the importers were disposed to sell at market quotations was small, hence, although there is a general disposition for business little was done at the sales. Large arrivals are just being landed—about 4,000 bales China with 500 bales Japan—which attract considerable attention. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OF CANADA.—The recent half-yearly report of the directors having caused much dissatisfaction among the shareholders living in Bir mingham, a meeting was convened by advertisement, and held on Thursday, at the offices of Mr. B. Chesshire, soli citor, Temple-row. Mr. Chesshire was called to the chair. After considerablediscussion, it was proposed by Mr. Har rison, and seconded by Mr. Bodill, that the following re monstrances be forwarded to the board of directors :—" 1 It appearing from paragraph 12 in the report that the direc tors still entertain the question of an amalgamation with the Grand Trunk Railway, and this meeting being fully con vinced that the position of the two companies is so widely different that it is quite impossible it could be effected upon any terms without endangering the ruin of the Great Western, as reference to the financial position, the state of the track and condition of the rolling stock of the Grand Trunk will convince any one, therefore it is hoped the ques tion of amalgamation will be altogether abandoned. 2d. That the late attempt to obtain a bill from the Canadian parliament for this object has created a want of confidence in the directors, and this meeting considers that the pro visional agreement, signed by the board in contereplation of such amalgamation, ought to be disclosed to the share holders. 3d. That this meeting has read with alarm the report of Mr. Sharp, the car superintendent, from which it appears that upwards of 50 carriages and cars have been entirely broken up during the past half-year as unfit for further service ; and it having been stated that the rolling stock of the Great Western has been used over the Grand Trunk line during the past winter, and no reference been made to it in the report, it is felt that some explanation of such unprecedented damage should be given by the board." Birmingham Daily Post. RELEASE OF THE REPORTER GRAY.—By the liberality of friends, Mr. Gray, who was convicted of libel at the Central Criminal Court about six weeks ago, and fined £5O, has been released. The fine was paid on Wed nesday. The Confederate steamer Nashville, which escaped from the Tuscarora at Southampton, in England, is penned in Ogechee River, with no chance of escape; her chief officer has been taken prisoner.—American paper. A FAMILY NEARLY POISONED BY CHEESE.— Som e consternation was caused in a family at Byker, an an evening or two ago, by the sudden and simultanesus ill- ness of the lady of the house and four of her daughters. It appears that the persons affected had that night at supper eaten a portion of American cheese which had been pur chased at Newcastle, and that soon afterwards they were seized with cramp, vomiting, and diarrhoea. A gentleman residing at Newcastle, who was a friend of the family, had been paying them a visit, and on his road home he became subject to similarly alarming symptoms. After reaching home he remained unconscious for several hours; but, hap pily, all the parties, though affected in an alarming manner, recovered. The cheese was of a pale and rather crumbling appearance, and the persons upon whom it had so serious effects had not eaten more than one ounce or two ounces each.—Newcastle Chronicle. LIVERPOOL, COTTON MARKET, October 23.—The demand from the trade continues very moderate, and is freely met generally, but Surats of good quality command full price. The sales were 4,000 bales-3,000 on specula- tion and for export. EXPLOSION AT A PERCUSSION-CAP MANUFAC- Touy.—Shortly after 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon an alarming explosion took place in one of the cartridge filling huts detached from the percussion-cap manufactory of Messrs. E. and H. Ludlow, Aston Lanes, Witten. It will no doubt be remembered by most our readers that since the fearful explosion in Whittall-street, filling of per cussion caps and cartridge cases manufactured on the pre mises of Messrs. Ludlow, in Legge-street, has been carried on, for safety, in detached huts, at a distance of about twenty or thirty feet from each other, at Witton. It was in one of these huts that the explosion occurred. At the time named it seems that two young women (which is the number of persons allowed to work in each hut) named Amelia Homer and Catherine Caydey, re siding respectively in Lancaster -street and Dartmouth street, were engaged in opening damaged cartridges, some of which were the remains of a recent order, and others (wet ones), returned from the store in Bingley-hall, at a bench in the cartridge filling room, when, from some un explained cause, they exploded. The women were burnt severely about the face and upper extremities, and one of them in her fright leaped through the window of the hut into the yard, quickly followed by the other. Mr. Starkey, the foreman, who was a short distance off at the time, per ceiving dense smoke issuing from the building, at once went to the spot, and finding that the i oor women were very much hurt, had them conveyed to the General Hospital, Fortunately, there was but a small quantity of powder in the hut at the time, or the result "night have been much more serious. The room in which the occurrence took place was not damaged. The cause of the explosion at present remains a mystery, and it is stated that at the time it took place there were no fires or g as b u r ning in the budding. On inquiry at the hospital the unfortu nate young women were going on well.—Binningham Dailyate Post. According to the Gazetta Polska, the projected railway from Bialostok to Pinsk is to be Continued as far as Odessa, via Kiew. A letter from Calais states that the Albert Edward steamer, from Folkestone, put into that port two days back with 74 passengers, having found it quite im pokAible to got iilto 39mlogne, " I understand perfectly the persistence of England in following up the formation of this unity, and I am far from blaming her for it. I also understand why Belgians, Aus trians, and even Russians applaud this policy ; and I do not blame them for it. Every people has the right to pursue what best suits its own interests; and if France, the first military power in Europe, the most favoured by position, disquiets her neighbours by the progress of her arms and the influence of her policy, why should I allege it as a crime against them to try to weaken her and to encircle her with iron? What I do not understand is the attitude of the French press, dominated by its Ultramontane sympathies. It is manifest that the Constitution of Italy as one united Power, with an army of 300,000 men, would weaken the empire in every possible way. Politically—for the Amphi tryonic Council of Europe, hitherto composed of the repre sentatives of five Powers, would be augmented by a sixth, whose vote would be against us. We are too near Italy ; we resemble her too much, we have rendered her services too great for her to love us ; and in politics ingratitude is the first of rights and the first of duties. Strategically—for while Spain menaced us in the rear, England, Belgium,and ii olland in front, Germany, Austria, and Russia on the flank, Italy would pull at our legs and run the bayonet into our stomachs, the only part which we thought protected; and the coalition against France would count a member the mor.3. Socially—for in regard to religion and ideas, our influence would diminish, in the first place, in proportion to the loss sustained by our military and political powers ; and in the second place, we should lose all the advantage we had by our title of first Catholic Power, protectors of the Holy See, and this whether the Popo be despoiled of his States, whether he rally to Victor Emmanuel, or whether he quit Italy as an exile. Protestants and Anglicans understand this well and rejoice at it. It is not for the glory of a theological thesis that they combat the temporal power and demand the evacuation of Rome by the French. Doubtless the evil would be nothing if the said Prot es t an t s and Anglicans renounced propagandism, if, in the civilised universe, States agreed to suppress the budget of public worship, abolish bishoprics, seminaries, consistories, churches, temples, and synagogues ; but this is not the case. Just as united Italy wishes to guard the Papacy, in the same manner the dissenting churches aim at taking the place of the orthodox Church; of religious bodies amounting to 130 or 150 millions of souls that would accrue to them. Now, the Powers, having no mind to abolish worship, civilisation among different peoples being very unequal, moral philoso phy known to the very smallest minority, the result of Italian unity is quite clear for us—namely, that France having lost the preponderance which her military power secured for her, and moreover sacrificing the authority of her faith without putting in its place the authority of ideas —France would abdicate as a nation and come to an end." M. Proudhon anticipates his being denounced not only for combating Italian Unity, but also for upholding the Papacy and being a partisan of the clericals. " Perhaps I am," he says : " Mere words dc, not frighten me, I warn you. But what I hold to be of the greatest importance is to reason justly and to avoid being duped. It is one thing to labour, as I do every day, by philosophy, political economy, and law, by the Revolution, in a word, in the cause of social regenera tion, and another thing to seek out what should be at a given moment, in a Conservative Government, the conduct followed by a statesman. Policy is the art of directing the forces of nations, and in the hypothesis which I discuss, and in the opinion of all the Powers interested, religion is one of these forces. For the immense majority of mortals religion is still the foundation of morality, the fortress of consciences. Everybody admits this, and even Mazzini and Garibaldi proclaim it. I affirm, then, that it would be treason to the Chief of a State to abandon one of the forces confided to him before steps were taken to substitute some thing else for it. He would resemble the general who, when informed of the invention of the new muskets and rifled. cannon, should begin by breaking all his old flint muskets without waiting to get new ones. Yes, lam by position a Catholic ; a clerical if you will have it so, because France, my country, has not ceased to be both ; and because the English are Anglicans, the Prussians Protestants, the Swiss Calvinists, the Americans Unitarians, the Russians Greeks ; and because, while our missionaries go to seek martyrdom in Cochin China, those of England go to sell Bibles and other articles of commerce." Further on he says : " So much the worse for France, they say, if Italy eman cipated, united, becomes a source of trouble to her. The Italians have the right to organise themselves as they please in their owa land, and Rome and Venice belong to them. So much the worse for France. Very good—but France has also the right to make conditions for her service. I go fur ther, and I say that, if the service rendered has obtained the assent of Europe, and if the debtor be insolvent, Europe becomes security for the debt and responsible for it. Now, this Italy emancipated only yesterday is not strong enough to protect herself out of her own resources. It is asked that the French army should evacuate Rome to-day rather than to-morrow. Agreed ; but it is well understood that if the Austrians take a fancy to return, France will not prevent them. Italia fare da se. It is little too much to expect that after having created Italy, and armed her against our selves, we should also mount guard to defend her. I con , . sent that France shall ask nothing for the dead of Solferino and Magenta; but how much are we to have for mounting guard ? The Italians feel this so well that they anticipate the answer. The nationality of one,' they say, vas made at the expense of that of the other; unity is paid for by annexation. Let the Emperor of the French take posses sion of the left bank of the Rhine, from Bale to the sea ; let France re-enter into hor natural frontiers, we ourselves will aid them. With this supplement of 8,000,000 of souls and 6,000 square leagues of territory she will have recovered her balance.' Now, I should like to know what our Bel gian democrats think of this system of compensation, so favourable to Gai ibaldian ideas. In the same manner I have heard it proposed, now in the name of Italy, now in the name of Poland, to deliver up to Austria, in exchange for Venetia or Galicia, Servia and Montenegro, and, if need be, Moldo-Wallachia. Who knows if such a contingency has not formed part of the arrangements of Garibaldi ? Nothing is so selfish as a nationality, nothing less scrupulous than the unitarian passion. People have declaimed a great deal for some years past against the insolence of the Vienna partitions; but let unity and nationalities go to work, and you will see many others of the same kind." THE COLLIERY ON FIRE AT WIGAN.—The efforts which have hith erto been made to extinguish the fire in Messrs. Mercer and Evans's High Brook Colliery, Fork ane, near Wi gan, have been unsuccessful. At the en d o f last week, the covering of the down-cast shaft, the one nearest to the four-feet mine in which the accident occurred, was blown up by an explosion of gas, and since then ex plosion has succeeded explosion with startling rapidity—on Wednesday morning, for instance, no fewer than seven taking place. It has thus been impossible to keep an air tight covering on the downcast pit, but the boarding over the upcast shaft remained firm till Wednesday, when it was scattered in all directions by a rush of more than ordinary force. Another plan is now being tried to extinguish the fire—a large quantity of steam being thrown into the down cast shaft, which has again been closed. This, it is ex pected, will pass through that portion of the workings where the fire exists, and will drive before it the smoke through the upcast pit. If a current of steam can thus be !cut through the pit, it is hoped, should no further explosi ons take place, to subdue the fire in a sho r t ti m e, and che ck further destruction of property. It is believed, however, that the fire has not r eached the five - feet sea m, which is very extensive, but is confined to the four-feet mine in which it originated, and to the yard coal, adjacent aeanl, 7HE MIDDLE LEVEL INUNDA7ION. Yesterday Sir Fitzroy Kelly, with Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Metcalfe, who are retained as counsel for the Middle Level Commissioners in the various actions brought against them by the several land holders and occupiers of land whose farms, home steads, and crops had been destroyed by the inun dations arising from the breaking down of the sluices and dams and the encroachment of the sea, met, at Lynn, Norfolk. Mr. Hawkshaw, C E., and the various engineers and local authorities, afterwards proceeded, under most disadvantageous circumstances, owing to the continuing equinoctial gales, to view the whole of the embankments, cut tings, and sluices which had been constructed by the Commissioners under the various acts of Parlia ment conferring the powers upon them of cutting but particularly with regard to the cutting opening into the river Ouse. Nearly the whole body of the Commissioners, with their engineer and those who have been supplemented in the office, accompanied the learned counsel, and pointed out. the exact posi tion of the works carried out by them, but which has proved so disastrous—the object of the view being, that counsel should be well-informed of the locality on the trial of the forthcoming actions, which will take place in Westminster Hall at the sittings after next term. LONDON PAVILION MUSIC HALL. Wednesday last being the third anniversary of the opening of this music hail, Messrs. Loibl and Sonnhammeo, the proprietors, were presented with a testimonial, consisting of two handsome cham pagne cups, as a mark of personal esteem, and also of the sense entertained of the spirited manner in which the establishment has been conducted for the past three years. The donors were the artistes engaged, who were joined in the offering by a few private friends of the proprietors, and speeches of a very gratifying character were made on the occa sion, Mr. Loibl remarking that these little tokens would act as a spur to himself and partner still further to deserve and conciliate the good opinion of the public and his friends. In the even ing the testimonials were displayed before the audience, who reproduced a hundredfold the plaudits of the morning, and greeted the brief speeches of Messrs. Loibl and. Sonnhammeo with acclamation, thus testifying to the claims which those gentlemen have upon the public as successful caterers for their amusement. There are many points of interest connected with the entertainment at this hall to which we will recur at another opportunity. SHIPPING---THIS DAY.

It is from the pen of the once formidable Proudhon, and it is amusing to see with what delight the clerical journals wel come the co-operation of the once-dreaded enemy of religion, family, property, and Government. " The brilliant qualities of the controversialist," observes the Gazette de France, " are again found in every one of these bold pages. We think we hear, while reading them, the trampling of the fiery courser on the whole mass of annexionist or Uni tarian journal. Not an argument of the Piedmon tese or Mazzinian politician that is not left in the shade or unanswered, and that does not find in the pen of the vigorous athlete a victorious refuta tion in the name of right, good sense, and truth." La France feels proud that the policy it advocates is also defended " with all the energy and all the originality of this vigorous mind, in spite of the difference in their political, philosophical, and reli • gious convictions. This brochure, which has t. r title, "La Federation et l'Unite en Italie," is in great part the reproduction of the two letters which Proudhon addressed some short time since to Maz zini and Garibaldi, augmented by a new commen tary on Italian affairs and a letter to the Belgian press on Italian Unity. "I have never believed in the Unity of Italy," he begins, " and both on prin ciple as well as in a practical point of view I have always scouted it." In support of his opinion he cites that of the late Montanelli—who, by the way, was strongly suspected of Muratist tendencies—of the historian Ferrari, of General Ulloa, and of Napo leon 1., who would not accept of united Italy for himself, and who, while placing the Iron Crown on his own brow, gave Tuscany and the other duchies to his sisters Pauline and Eliza, and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to Murat. He admits Mazzini is against him, but Mazzini he dismisses somewhat contemptuously. "He is anti-socialist ; Louis Blanc and I know something about him, and be tween his Republicanism and the Monarchy there could well be arrangements." M. Proudhon opposes Italian Unity for reasons which interest France as well as Europe : - _-~ --- -
