It has also granted rewards mounting to £,572 for saving 562 shipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak ing a total of 1,302 persons saved from a watery grave during the last two years and a half. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,690; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 711 Silver Medals, and £16,000 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £64,300 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-car; cages, and Boat-houses. _ The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorousefforts n ow being made by this Institution to save the lives of Ship wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions .he Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man agement, for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

On Wednesday evening John Dent, Esq., th e Conservative candidate, addressed the electors of this borough in the Guildhall ; John Gill, Esq. (ex -mayor), presiding. Mr. DENT, who on rising was received with loud and prolonged applause, said, —Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, Electors of the borough of Totnes,— After the overwhelming reception which I met with from you all upon my arrival in this borough I feel great confidence in now addressing you. {Ap plause.) But before I enter upon the topics for which this meeting has been convened I consider it is only due to you, in return for the interest you have shown in meeting me, to apologise for not having presented myself to you at an earlier period. I assure you it was owing to no lukewarm nessth e ( 0 sole hes rs) on my part, lout was occasioned by indisposi tion. (Hear, hear.) Since my arrival I have met with such assuring proofs of your confidence that I do not hesitate to state that I have come here for s be a ralism end of rescuing the Conservative interest from the thraldom in which it has been so ldng held spurious existed in it. —from the domination, coupled with but I contend als A o T Somerset otne hahvleaiwhich up to this time has plause.)

(Hear a ; thewili 1 in her rights; and the only adjustment I - could possibly submit to would be that church rates should be incorporated either with the poor rate or the county rate. But even then I would not diminish one iota of the Church's due right to her absolute and independent property. (Loud cheers.) As to the franchise, my experience has led me to the con clusion that the present standard is as equitable and sound as it can possibly be.., (Hear, hear.) I maintain that the franchise in boroughs has worked well hitherto, and will continue to work well. And so strong am I on that point, that I would not willingly consent to a reduction of the borough franchise to £9 19s. 111 d. (Cheers.) In my address I stated that I considered the franchise should be extended according to the progress of education. I quite admit that, but I am now speaking of the standard as to a property qualification, and I can only repeat my conviction that the present standard is a just and,proper one. But I contend also that education is the higher standard. (Cheers.) There is one other very im portant subject which must interest all of us—it is the cause of education. (Applause.) I am per fectly certain that we have all the deepest interest in that question. (Hear, hear.) I know that I for one have, and that I am a sincere friend of educa tion, and shall be prepared to vote on every occa sion for the right of the poor man's child to a sound plain education at the charge of the state. (Hear.) I would see every poor man's child in every county and borough in England Etittieted to a sufficient point out of the means of the country. (Cheers.) And you may rely upon me that if I am returned to parliament I shall do all in my power to further the cause of education. (" Bravo !") As for our armaments and our volunteers, there can be no two opinions with reference to them. (Cheers.) .We are all lovers of our glorious country, and wish our armaments to be kept up to that position which should enable us, should it ever become necessary, to meet even the whole world in arms against us. (Loud applause.) As for the volunteers, it was the patriotism of the country which gave rise to them; and all I can say is, that if they do want a subsidy I shall not only be happy, but 1 shall feel it my duty, to do my utmost for that noble body, should I ever be placed in a position to do so. (Cheers.) In conclusion, I would say that I come to submit myself to you hindered by no other ties. I have no landed interest in any county in England ; and I hope to be able to identify my future connection with our soil with the ancient and loyal borough of Totnes. (Cheers, and a Voice, " He's our man.") I assure you that in every way that lies in my power I shall be happy to promote the prosperity, and do all I can to advance t he welfareohap of the only borough e more ot repoint large. t (Cheers.) whiche e rs . would There allude. One is, perhaps, l and all of us must very deeply sympathise with the great distress now prevailing in our manufacturing districts. (Hear, hear.) I trust that distress will be efficiently relieved, and I shall join in re lieving it where it so largely prevails. (Heals) If its effects should possibly—as we know they may —in any way react upon the poor of Totnes, if I can do anything to relieve that reaction, I shall be only too happyito offer:my aid in doing so. (Cheers.) In conclusion I would say that you have received me so flatteringly and warmly that I feel I may confidently leave my interest in your hands. (Hear, hear.) lam prepared to go through to the end, and to poll the last man on your register—(pro longed cheering)—should my canvass justify me in doing so. (Cheers.) On the motion of Mr. J. F. Phillips, J.P., seconded by Mr. Heath, Mr. Dent was unanimously accepted as a fit and and proper candidate for the borough. MR. M. MILNES ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS, The annual soiree of the Leeds Mechanics' Insti tution Literary Society and School of Arts took place last night and passed off with that success which has for so many yearn: bean lasual on these occasions. Unfortunately Earl Geanville could not 'ulfil an engagement to preside, in consequence o he recent death of his mother. The duties of pre siding were, however, ably discharged by Mr. R. Moncktonlnes, M.P. for Pontefract, who ad- dressed the large assembly at great length, and to the following effect. He said, in allusion to Earl Granville's severe loss, that his lordship held a titular office which made him the sixth subject of her Majesty, but a member of the Govern- ment could scarcely tell anything new, and lately another member of the Government had got himself into a scrape by remarks which he made by way o exception to the general rule. The hon. gentleman said that (luting the eleven years which had tran spired since the last great Exhibition the nation had had many disappointments. The first Exhibi tion was to inaugurate an era of peaee ; but this country was driven by dire necessity into the Rus sian war, which lost so much of English blood and English treasure, but added so much to English glory. The terrible tale of the Indian mutiny was another disappointment ; and another great Power, founded by England in another hemisphere on the principles of English freedom and English intelli gence, on the other side of the Atlantic, and which we once only feared might become greater than ourselves—that realm had caused another disap pointment. He believed there were some persons, though but few, who had looked with something like inhuman gratifiCation on the American catas trophe, but he for one would never share those feel- ings which could regard that event as any other and as o ne w hi c h En g li s h men bound to denounce and exe than the greatest calamity Whi c h had ever fallen a u b p o o v n e t a h l e l human others w ra e ce re , exe crate. (Cheers.) All present knew poverty existing in Lancashire the miserable Ame rican disaster. Such events t hro ugh the as th is did not occur without intent of moral im provement to the wo rld; but it was not his business to"improve " t hose occurrences for any peculiar purpose; all he coced do was to call:upon all to sug gest t o th emse l ves as they best could what had been the evil, what had been the wrong, what had been either the injus tice, or some other peccant cause, from which the calamities he had referred to had sprung. Of the latter which he had alluded to he would say this—and he trusted that there was no person in that hall, whatever his abstract opinions might be upon political subjects, who would not agree with him—that this great American disaster was an awful lesson to every other nation how they allowed a great national evil, as was that of Ameri can slavery, to remain within the community unre pented of, uncared for, and unimproved. (Applause.) There were many evils in society to which we must bend.many which, of h'inour limited un derstanding, abolishing or even rectifying a totally different thing ta f ro m trying to make of th e evil g o od. It was say ing, This is not an evil, we will declare that to be ; we uwereth saw mt w n no a good which God's law and the law of humanity de clares to be wrong." This it was which lay at the root of the American disaster. This it was which was filling with desolation the valleys of Lancashire and Cheshire. To his young friends—who woald grow up to the times when these calamities would be talked of and form a part of distant history—he would say, " Do not forget this lesson, and may it be within the scope of their retrospective in those days to see the abolition of those tremendous evils, and thus to vindicate the ways of God to man by the rectification of that great sorrow of humanity." (Cheers.) Mr. Milnes proceeded to address the men bers of the Mechanics' Institute who were not to receive prizes, and ho assured them that though they might be disappointed, if their hopes had been elevated, or their characters raised, by their studies, there was something good left behind after all. In most cases advantage would follow education in an individual, just as material prosperity followed the development of education in nations, and in matters of the community, but there might be circumstances, there might be calamities, which would prevent those results from taking place. And was it to be said that because the American people were the best educated people in the world, and this great calamity of a civil war had fallen upon them, it would have been better had they not been educated at all? If some unknown disaster should follow any individual who had laboured in the cause of his own education, thwarting his effo: is preventing him from attaining that succean in life which he thought he had a fair claim to—was it to be said, "Better he had not been educated at all ?" In tho name of moral justice, he (Mr. Alilneb) should say neither the one nor the other. Bet ter to labour even to fail, even better than if any one were to succeed unjustly and without labour. (Applause.) The education of an individual co operated, so to say, with the education of the world in the hand of the great Divine Schoolmaster and Artificer. This was a glorious consideration, which the humblest of mankind might feel with no unjust pride or undue conceit. In the midst of this great Lancashire calamity, nothing seemed to him more interesting than that a considerable portion of the grown-up men were improving the calamity by learning to read. (Applause.) It might be said, " What was the use of reading to men who were hungry and in unhappy circumstances ? " but did it not give them a consciousness that there was something in the world to learn which even in calamities like this could never be wholly taken away from them; and did not intellectual pursuits go a considerable way to mitigate the material evils of life, and to accommodate the man to the uneasi ness of his circumstances P (Applause.) The hon. gentleman concluded by urging the importance of art education, and by showing that mental study was only a duty which a man owed to himself and to his country, by assisting in the great work of the civilisation of mankind, which it should be the glory of every man to be a contributor to, and, if it pleased God, even to be a martyr to. (Loud ap plause.) MR. NE WDEGATE A 7 RUGBY. RUGBY, THURSDAY. The annual show of the Rugby and Dunchurch Conservative Association was held in a field near Rugby yesterday, after which the annual dinner was held in the Town Hall, The Earl of Dalkei_tk presided, and was supported on the right by the Hon. Chas. Lennox Butler, High Sheriff, and on the left by C. N. Newdegate, Esq., M.P. Mr. Spooner was absent through indisposition. The CHAIRMAN having given "the Members for North Warwickshire," which was received with considerable cheering, _ _ Mr. NEWDEGATE, M.P., rose to respond. After expressing regret at the non-appearance of his col league, he referred to the fact that at the meeting of the Rugby and Dunchurch Agricultural Associa tion last year, he had been the first to advert to the doings of Captain Wilkes on board the Trent, of which information had been received that morning, and he was rejoiced to find that the views he then expressed.had been subsequently sanctioned by pub lic opinion and by the Government. Recent events had shown that our American cousins were deter mined we should not forget them. England never wished to do so; but it was only natural that at the present moment, when the heart of this country was being wrung by an unhappy internecine struggle, there should be an impatience on the part of Eng lishmen that the Government should interfere, and stay if possible the strife now raging in America, not only because they were of our own flesh and blood, but also because it was a struggle destroying one of the Free States of the world. (Hear, hear.) Eng- land must always have a deep sympathy with all freedom, but he was persuaded that. Lord Palmerston's Government had pursued a statesmanlike and pru dent course in hitherto pursuing a policy of absten tion in reference to American affairs. The Ameri can people seemed as though they could not forget that the first phase of their national existence 7,7 as marked by their separation from England, and there was a sort of national jealousy against Eng- land 'amongst the Yankees. Some of them were angry with us because we did not regret that cir cumstance more than it was possible for us to do ; whilst others suspected us, or seemed to suspect us in the matter of non-intervention. Not because they thought we had a feeling of envy or interest, but because they thought we had some covert design to grasp again the Goverment of the United States, which was a most chimerical idea. Still there was a jealousy which he believed the English nation most deeply deplored. (Cheers.) He regretted, as much as any one, that the form of Government which the Americans had set up had not proved so successful as ours. The supremacy of man formed a too prominent portion of the com position, instead of obedience to the will of God ; there was, in fact, too much of that sheer absolut ism of the human will expressed by the first Napo. leon, when he said, " L'etat c'est moi." Finally, he thought the Government had acted wisely in leav ing to some other country the office of pacificator in the present struggle. The hon. gentleman, refer ring to the subject of the distress in Lancashire, said the distress was a very grievous one to be borne, and they were bound by special ties to sym pathise with them in their troubles. When the ribbon trade of Coventry was struck down by the operation of the French Treaty, Lancashire most readily and nobly contributed to alleviate their suffering poor, and he trusted that now in the dark hour of its trial, the whole county of Warwick, with Birmingham at its head as the metropolis, would join heart and soul to repay what had been sent for them with interest. But the troubles of distress were not confined to the cotton districts; it had come near home among their neighbours, and it was their duty to provide for them. He had been recently engaged in an inquiry as to the state of Coventry, and he could assure them that it was in such a condition as to need their deepest sym pathy ; and more than deep symyathy, the bestow ment of such means as they could well spare. He thought the Mayor of Coventry and the Local Re lief Committee had recently commenced a separate subscription for the poor weavers in that place ; but if they bore in mind that but one-half of the suffer ing operatives of that town were weavers, they then would see how inadequate the movement was to offer any relief at all commensurate with the existing distress. He had made in quiries upon the subject from the chairmen of the various district committees, and they assured him that not only was there great distress in Coventry, but also in all of the surrounding districts, reach ing beyond the town of Nuneaton. In consequence of that an appeal had been made to Lord Leigh, and he had nobly answered them by establishing another fund, to be called the " North Warwickshire Fund, for the relief of the distressed operatives." The hon. gentleman then referred to the subject of church rates, and stated that for seven years he had devoted himself to the solution of that great question, which caused so much dispute between Churchmen and Dissenters. The result of his lab i ours was a bill which he introduced into Parliament last session, and which had been by him withdrawn for purposes of amendment. In that bill he proposed to remove the' present rate, which was personal, and tax property for the maintenance of proper worship in the Church. He believed the subject had caused much irritation for the last 28 years between Dis senters and Churchmen, but it would admit of a solution satisfactory alike to both parties.

The works on the main line of this railway are nearly completed, with the exception of the Pad dington Junction, or Bishop's-road Station. Con siderable progress has been made in the construe • lion of the signals, which have caused much delay from the difficulty of making them perfectly simple and more then Usutill y effective. It is believed that these difficulties will soon be overcome, and that in the course of two or three weeks at furthest the line will be read, for public, traffic. Every endea vour is being made to render the vk orking of the traffic as successful as possible. Trains have been run through, both on the up and down lines, seve ral times, with a view to test the stability of the permanent way and the efficiency of the engines and carriages. The locomotives, which are of pecu liar construction and run through without emitting steam or smoke, have been found to work very well, and the permanent way is also in good working order. No day has yet been fixed for the opening of the railway, but it is believed about the middle of next month will be the time of opening the line for public traffic. CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Gresham-house, Mr. J; terra - Wit • The report stated that on the 28th of June last a portion of the scaf f olding and of the temporary brick pillars erected at the Piallee for placing the girders of the bridge gave way, and though of course the future stability and security of the bridge itself will be in no way affected by this occurrence, it has rendered necessary renewal end strength ening of the preparatory worts, which has occa sioned an unfortunate delay. This accident will not retard the opening of the line for a longer period than two months beyond the contem plated time; thus substituting January 1, 1863, for Nov. 1, 1862. Arrangements were in course of being made in India to establish a communication with the Mutlah in the beginning of November suf ficient to enable the proprietors of the town lots to commence operations at the new port immediately after the rains. The screw-pile jetty for the Mut- lab, which has received the sanction of Government, will be shipped in the course of next month Ves sels will thus be enabled to deliver their cargoes at once to the railway waggons for conveyance in two hours to Calcutta. The Government have secured a large plot of ground adjoining the terminus at Calcutta, on which they are now engaged in erect ing a market for the accommodation of the firewood, fish, and vegetables to be conveyed along the line to Calcutta. The directors have raised in shares the whole of the additional capital voted by the share holders at the last meeting, making the total capital raised in shares and debentures £400,000. The capital account to Sept. 30 showed that £378,793 had been received, and £371,788 expended, leaving a balance of £7,005. The amount received for in terest froln the commencement to the 30th of June last was £34,207. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he hoped the line would be opened throughout at the time mentioned in the report. Letters had been received stating that a temporary mode of conveyance for passengers to the Mutlah had commenced on Oct. 27 for the remainder of the distance-12 miles. The cost of the screw pile jetty would be £12,000, but they would derive remune ration for that outlay. The Government had com 2 plated arrangements for opening a large market at the terminus of the line in Calcutta. The company had raised £310,000 on shares and .00,000 on deben tures, making the total receipts £400,000. He had no doubt that further capital would be required to the extent of £60,000, including the cost of the pier. Mr. MARsium seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. He *aid -ha had full cmifidence that the line would be open for public traffic and yielding good returns before the next ordinary meeting. The Government had given orders that no pains should be spared to develope the traffic on the line as soon as ,possible, and for that purpose the jetty had been ordered to facilitate the loading and unloading of ships at the Mutlah. The jetty would enable them to unload and convey 1,000 tons of goods from the Mutlah to Calcutta in three days. The opening of the line had been delayed by cir cumstances over which they had no control. In reply to questions from Mr. Hartridge and Mr. Adams it was stated that the length of the line was 28i miles, and that the cost of the line and works, including the jetty, would be £460,000, or about £16,000 per mile. The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the pro ceedings. MADRAS IRRIGATION AND CANAL. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. J. Thomson in the chair. The report, an abstract 'of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, entered at considerable length into the difficulties with which the company had had to contend from the commencement. The progress made by the engi neer and his staff had been material and satisfactory. The last season had been very unfavourable, and the rains were very heavy, having at times shown a fall of three or four inches in the course of 12 hours. Visitations of cholera had occasionally driven and scattered the people from the works, but now, he believed, they could get plenty of labour. The dif ficulties and delays from which they had suffered had arisen chiefly from the circuitous course adopted by the Government. Approval of plans, in some cases, had been delayed for nine months together. The question of combining irrigation and canal com munication had involved considerable discussion for a long period, but it had been decided by e xperience that most of th e ma in ehannels for irrigation were not only irrigation channels, but canal communica tions. The present authorised works would irrigate 100,000 acres in the first instance, and eventually 400,000 acres. The increased extent of irrigation would require extra channels for distribution, but not extra main works. The secretary read a long correspondence with the Government respecting the concession to the - company and guarantee on the cap i tal, from which it appeared that various delays had been interposed during three or four years, that the company w ere per cent. on a mil guaranteed by the Government 6P lion of capital.

The m atter bad eventually been left by the Home Go vernment to the decision of the Madras Govern ment, and he had no doubt of the result. He hoped that no further delay would be i nterposed, and that the company would he allowed to proceed with the works in the manner so ably designed and pointed out by their engineer. The policy to be pursued by the Government of India with respect to those productive works had been clearly laid down by Mr. Laing, and if followed would remove all diffi culty with regard to the cotton question and the extensive cultivation of the soil in India. Some of the results of their operations would be shown in 1863 The great exertions of their engineer were beyond all praise, and he had been most cordially supported in his efforts by his working staff. The report was unanimously adopted, the retiring and the United States" : The very unexpected candidature of Prince Alfred for the throne of Greece, and the still more unexpected support which the candidature seems to find in the British cabinet, is well calculated to bring out in strong relief the inconve niences which we have more than once pointed out of our present foreign policy. By a strange anomaly the two most liberal and enlight ened nations on the face of the earth have constituted them • selves reap , ctively the protectors of the spiritual heads of catholicism and Islamism, whose governments are the most backward in the world. France protects the Pope, and England the Sultan. But while protecting the Pope, France has contrived to alienate in the first place the Pope himself, and all the catholic clergy besides ; then all the Pope's subjects, who had cherished the hope of being rid of his bad government ; and lastly, all Italy, which considers the pontifical govern ment as the obstacle and the dissolvent of that unity to which she aspires. On the other hand England, in protecting the Sultan, has, it is true, rendered herself unpopular in the East, among the Christian populations, but she has possess ed herself of effective power. It is England that works in reality behind the disorganised skeleton of the Ottoman empire, and inasmuch as England's main ob ject is to keep Russia out of Constantinople, and to retain command of the routes to the East Indies, it may be safely said that England, all powerful in Syria, and sovereign at Constantinople, derives as much advantage from her pro tectorate of the Sultan as we derive disadvantage from our protection of the Pope. It seems as if England had semi in the Greek revolution - tot occasion to extend and strengthen her influence. Hi- therto she has shown herself as unfrieradly as possible towards that little nation of navigators which threatens her with a dangerous rivalry in the Mediterranean. Now she is all of a sudden smitten with a great affection for Greece. She is willing to give Greece an English prince who will bring with him the lonian Islands for a dowry. She cedes a part to get the whole. Once Prince Alfred in stalled at Athens, and England will have two courses open to her to arrive at the domination of the East. She may either enlarge Greece and disorganise Turkey for the bene fit of Prince Alfred, or she may foment discontents in Greece, and under the pretext of protecting an English pr i nc e, pccupy Greece, and set up there the standard of her protectorate. This policy wealsdangerous and fatal for the Christian East, as in reality England cares nothing for the emancipa tion of the Christians, but only minks to make use of them, her object in being at once t he p rotec:. ress of the Turks at Constantinople and the Christians in Atli.ens would be to govern, in reality, herself in both places. Already France and Russia are alive to the darlger, and have as it is said [this obse r v ation appears now to be founded on a mistake], protested against a candidature re pudiated by treaties. We trust that their voices Will be listened to, and the danger avoided. But supposing that England should think it really her interest to persist, and if she should think the opportunity a favourable one, even to run the risk of a war, in what position should we find ourselves ? No doubt, in the view of the treaties, she has no right to put an English prince on the throne of Athens. But have we a right to keep a garrison in Rome P She has no right to set herself up as the exclusive protectress of Greece. But what right have we to be the protectors of the Pope ? And if England should succeed in getting the Greeks to call for Prince Alfred, would she not be in a more defensible posi tion than ourselves when we support the Po p e against the Italians ? But leaving aside the moral part of the question, let us assume that a war breaks out on the Greek question , Where are our allies ? The Russians have enough to do at home ; the Austrians hate us ; we cannot reckon upon Prussia. We ought at least to be able to count upon Italy. We rendered her a signal service three years ago ; but since that time what annoyances have not been caused, what obstacles raised up against her P We stand alone in the way of that unity which is her dearest wish and her greatest necessity. It is evident, therefore, that to gain Italy, England would promise her unity, though of course she would not give it to her. In any case it is manifest that so long as we persevere in our present policy, we cannot reckon upon the alliance of Italy, and scarcely can we bo assured of her neutrality. We should then be full in face with' England. But in this formidable duel should we have our utmost strength at our disposal? No, for we have 50,000 men in Mexico, besides a considerable portion of our fleet. It will be remembered that at the time of the great re bellion in India, the English would not send a single man of-war away from the Channel fleet. And yet they had no less than an empire of 150 millions of men to preserve. We have stripped carports to go to Mexico. And what to do r To prevent church property from being sold ? To claim the inheritance of Montezuma? To construct a throne for the benefit of an Austrian Archduke ? To transform Mexico ' into a great nation ? All these things have been said in turn, and, in point of fact, nobody knows what we have gone there to do. fhe only thing quite clear is, that in case of serious events in Europe, a notable part of our army and fleet is out of the way. But this is not all. It would seem that the dispersion of our forces is not yet sufficient, and we must needs go and involve ourselves in a mediation in the United States. 'We began very pacifically, but Russia and England are prudent enough not to follow us. The France and the Conatitu tionnel, however, and other journals, fond of glory and ad venture, tell us that we are to go on by ourselves, and im pose peace upon the North and the South. We, who are considered to be revolutionists and fo menters of disorder, ask the French Government to keep quiet, and let the North and South separate or make it up as best suits themselves. We call on the GOVQI7IIII OII t to bring to as short an end as possible that costly and foolish expedition to Mexico, which is an incubus upon our finances and weakens our land and sea forces to no useful purpose ; we ask for an intelligent policy in Italy, and beg that we may not be indefinitely prostrate before the Gothic pretentious of a government of the other world which knows nothing whatever about the affairs of this planet. We ask the government not to compromise by hesitation and inde cision the Italian affiance, and not to alienate from us a people which in the nature of things ought to be our ad vanced guard in the East ; and not to force that people to throw into the arms of England. But we shall, perhaps, be told that the candidature Of Prince Alfred is an intrigue, which will come to nothing.. We trust so ; and in any case we are far from thinking that war is imminent. But when we see England concentrate her forces while we disseminate ours, when we see her pur suing in the East an egotistical but intelligent policy, while we in Italy are alienating all parties, we cannot help draw ing a melancholy parallel, and regretting that we do not turn to better account the superior morality of the princi ples of French policy. STORMS 1N IHE MEDITERRANEAN. With slight intermission the weather was very boisterous at Malta during the whole of last week, and accounts received at Valetta from Sicily andltaly show that there also violent winds from the west and south-west had been prevalent. At Girgenti and Terranova there have been several maritime dis asters, but fortunately without loss of life. At Gir genti, besides small native craft, four ships were lost, two of them English—one called the Warbler. At Terranova the loss of another vessel is reported, but as yet no particulars have been received. Several shipwrecks have occurred at Naples, and in One or two instances life has been sacrificed.

Several vessels have put is at Valetta showing signs of having suffered from the weather, and there is little doubt that other casualties have taken place on the morning of the 21st. A hurricane prevailed at Mar seilles on the night of the 26th inst., which caused some damage to the docks during the low tide, but more serious mischief was caused in the roadstead, where several ships parted from their anchors, end six of them were driven against the quay. Two of these ships, the Panchisa and the Escolastica, were Spanish vessels, laden with sugar from Havannah. The other vessels wrecked were a Marseilles mer chantman, the Notre D..me de St. Garde, bound for Gibraltar; two Italian vessels, the San Antonio A bbatti and the Giovanni, the former bound for Civita Veechia, and the latter for Barcelona; and an Austrian vessel, the Allegrezza, hound for Trieste, with a cargo of sugar. Seven houses were partly thrown down by the violence of the hurri cane, and several persons killed. The mail steamers which ought to have left that day were unable, in consequence of the weather, to leave the port until the following morning. pass i n g off inferior leaves as in the usual ven l t T t p h o e r t c i h n i g nes T e e a w i t h ou t colour on the leaf pro kinds.
