LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 1, 1862. It is impossible not to experience a certain sense of relief at the verification of the news published in our columns early on Saturday evening, to the effect that the insurrectionary movement of the Garibal dians in Southern Italy has been actually termi nated. It is equally impossible to exult—as some soi-disant Friends of the Popular Cause in Italy are apparently inclined to—over the melancholy down fall of GARIBALDI, now Wounded and a Prisoner in the hands of his fellow-countrymen. It appeared from the first almost incomprehensible that so great a man as this could blunder so egregiously. " Who would not grieve if such a man there be— Who would not weep if ATTICUS were he ?" The lamentable story, however, is now complete. After in some measure rivalling for a while his his marvellous exploits when, in 1860, the Hero of Caprera first traversed Italy with his red shirts, crossing those same straits of Messina to Melito, on the extreme southern coast of CaIabria—GARIBALDI, having been driven to bay, has been as the telegram told us on Saturday afternoon, Defeated, Wounded, and Captured. Confronted, though his little band of Volunteers was known to be, when they set forth on this mad and audacious enterprise, by the extravagant odds of Three Great Armies, ready, each of them, to appear overwhelmingly before GARIBALDI and his followers in battle array—the Italian army, the French army, awl the Austrian army—the course taken by the Great Rebel Chief from the date of his quitting his encampment at Corleone, absolutely seemed to give promise of a renewal for a while of his former good fortune, and the addition to the wondrous record of his history of some of his old astounding achievements. Gathering about him a band of volunteers, but poorly c lad and but par tially armed—GARIBALDI was known to have passed unmolested from one end of the island of Sicily to the other. It was notorious that in defiance of the Royal proclamation, he still carried his insurrectionary banner onwards. That in despite of the Royal forces he entered and took possession of Catania. That laughing to scorn, as it were, the war-vessels of the KING then blockading the coast for the express purpose of preventing his departure from Catania to Calabria, GARIBALDI had coolly crossed over, and landed at Melito—just es he had done before, only two years ago, at the time of his last exploits. That Royal army, 25,000 strong, the liege soldiers of VICTOR EMMANUEL, King o f Italy, had been no more serious obstacle to GARIBALDI, a few days ago in Sicily while traversing the island directly from end to end, than the Royal ar my of about the same number that a little more than two summers back had garrisoned that sam e island in the name and under the standard of FRANCIS 11., King of the Two Sicilies! E ven those who recognised the most clearly that GARIBALDI'S failure was eventually a thing quite inevitable, could not—on beholding the new:explcits thus done in his name (even now we ought rather to say by his name), could not possibly do otherwise than speculate as to the chances of the Hero hold ing out there in Calabria, for an interval, even in spite of the stupendous odds martialled against him in all the northern parts of the peninsula. Tidings came next of his having set out from Melito in the direction of Reggio. The intelligence that followed acquainted us with the fact that the advance guard of the little Garibaldian band of Volunteers, had on two successive days had a brush with the Royal troops sent out against them from Reggio by General REVEL, then holding the chief military command there in the name of VICTOR EMMANUEL. Upon both these occasions, though not a man was killed upon either side (several however being more or less seriously wounded)—the dis comfiture of the Royal Forces was so unmistake able that their daring leader was known to have determined upon diverging from the the path originally taken by him leading towards Reggio; to have had pushed onward to the moun tain inland height known—henceforth destined to be lamentably famous in history as the scene of the Downfall of GARIBALDI—as Aspramonte! There, at Aspramonte, General GARIBALDI, at the head of 2,000 undisciplined Volunteers, was, , after a sharp contest, defeated by 1,800 of the disciplined soldiers of the Royal army. Bersaglieri these were who had been led out against the Hero from Reggio in swift pursuit, and with a resolute determination to take GARIBALDI dead or alive — the officer in command of these Bersaglieri being one of GARIBALDI'S old followers, Colonel PALLAVICTNO. Friday, the 29th of August, 1862, was the date of this memorable struggle between these 2,000 Garibaldians, having at their head the Hero him self, and these 1,800 Bersaglieri under the command of the Hero's sometime follower, Colonel PALLA VICINO. The mountain height of Aspromonte was the scene of this new Roncesvalles. But GARIBALDI— winding his horn in vain there to 25,000,000 Italians—less happy in his fate, as many will doubtless think, than ROLAND—feII, not Dead, but Wounded and a Prisoner. The unfortunate Hero is said to have received two wounds before he could be captured, one of these wounds being of u serious character. His son MENOTTl—wounded also—was with him a Prisoner. Prisoners also, according to our account, were all the rest of the defeated Gari baldians. Though another statement runs to the effect that two small bands of the rebel red-shirts are still at large, but being rapidly pursued, one in Sicily, one in Calabria—one a band that escaped from Catania, the other a band that fled at the close of this final struggle of its Chief upon the heights of Aspromonte. It is confidenity stated at any rate that among those captured by the vic torious Bersaglieri under PALLAVICINO were the Rebel Deputies MACELLI and NICOTERA. With regard to GARIBALDI himself he is stated to have asked to be placed on board an English steamer : so that quitting his country altogether he might go at once into exile. Instead of complying with which demand (supposing it to have been really made by GARIBALDI)—the Royal authorities there in Calabria are understood to have acted very differently to- wards the Fallen Hero. There was a notion, it would appear, of his being despatched as a prisoner of war on board a Royal frigate to Spezzia. But, in the meantime—pending the final decision that I may be arrived at in his regard—GARIBALDI, ac cording to the confident assertion of La trance, is retained a prisoner in the Citadel of Reggio! Later on it is said he will have to be tried, though as yet it is matter of uncertainty before what tri • bnnal. How many of his mistaken followers fell dead upon the narrow battleground at Aspromonte, has yet to be learnt, but in evidence that shots were in truth fired therein deadly combat, and swards grimly crossed there in a death struggle between Italian and Italian, the Royal troops engaged are stated to have lost twelve killed, and to have had as many as 200 wounded. As among the more remarkable results already known to have been produced by the tid ings of GARIBALDI'S defeat and capture at Aspromonte, it may be interesting to note—That the populace had risen in various parts of the Pen ninsula. There was a formidable demonstration for example at Brescia. There was a notable disturb ance at Florence. There was a tumultuous gather ing at Genoa. The riot which took place at Como was so determined in its character that it had to be put down by force. While at Milan upon the bruiting about of a false report that GARIBALDI had been killed, the popular outbreak was so determined and infuriated that the people had to be dispersed at last by a charge of cavalry, in which one of the citizens died, and a great many others were wounded. The capture of GARIBALDI in truth is not by any means, we take it, the end, but, on the contrary, nothing more than the very commence ment of the task of tranquilising Italy—if Italy is at once to be tranquilised ! Still, and if such be possible, more than ever a problematical ques tion for the " Constitutional" party, is this tranquilisation of Italy—with GARIBALDI a pri soner in the hands of the royal forces of VICTOR EMMANUEL. Any serious punishment of GARI BALDI would certainly be fatal to the interests of that sovereignty. As it is, the blows that have now wounded that dauntless breast—struck as they have been by Italian hands in the name of the King—may yet prove to have a fatal recoil upon the Government. The Americans are a singular people. They are ' now rejoicing in three things, two of which would not have produced in London the exultation they evidently do in New York. The first, the repulse of the Confederates in a third attack on Baton Rouge is a natural ground of triumph. Both par ties, according to Northern accounts, fought bravely, but the Federals, thanks again to gun boats partly, were victors over the brave. Neither side has to be ashamed of its soldiership—the only deduction from the military triumph is, if the state ment be true, that the attack was a feint to enable vast supplies to be passed across the Mississippi higher up, in aid of Generals PRICE and DORN ; this looks, however, like an invention tifter the fact, and the North after all its late reverses ought not to be deprived of one important success. Enough, that though they hold New Orleans and Baton Rouge, yet Vicksburg is still in the hands of the Confederates, and controls the course of the river between Baton Rouge and Memphis, which is the last place coming down from the North in Federal hands. But the other two causes of rejoicing, the retreat and the success of the draughting, would hardly operate in the same way here. We can account for it in the former case, only by a much greater appre hension of danger for M'CLELLAN, than we bad supposed on this side the water. His retreat was probably understood to be absolutely necessary ; the fear was that it might be but a repetition of the sad scenes of the se ven days' conflict, perhaps that heavy guns on the banks of the James River might sink the transports laden with the sick and wounded as well as with stores ; hence to find that two large divisions of the army had moved with impunity to Port Monroe might seem almost too good to be tru e , it was a gre a t success. Besides, if of the C on f ederates from all attack Wtah: No families were placed i n mourning by this retreat; and co m p are d w i t h what had been feared abstinence the result which of MTLELLAN's dispositions, the North i s entitled to clai m , whatever the errors which re quired the retr eat, the retreat it self was a able military s u s e a n n t i d t , l e i d t ihsisth their r ok a e se t he descent t ccess. T hough XENornoN has the Greeks and their leaders. o r ascent retreat of i t n h e „iv tenheicl3 stibhdooeturh military and non-milita r y readers admire : The draughting, which b eg i ns, we believe very day, would make us h ere l oo k rather gloomy than glad. Up to the time of the last ad v i ce ; however, its only effe c t was to i n d uce t h ose who were waiting for a larger bonus than £4O to take the money, lest, if the ballot fell on them, they must serve gratuitously. The feeling, pro.. bably, was that the waiters for a better market wore cleverly tricked. Yet the sentence hangs over the head of every citizen in the vigour of life, by the horsehair thread of the ballot. Any man may, to-day, find himself sentenced to the war, or to finding a substitute at an enormous price. Those who were willing to go for £4O having been already enlisted, as volunteers, we may conjecture what thousands of small but respec table farmers and tradesmen must pay if they would serve by proxy. Such a liability, the income-tax, and universal taxes, all commence together, but as yet the cry is vigour ! vigour ! Crush the Rebels. It must be confessed, indeed, that, up to the date of the last advicas, neither the North nor the South exhibits the slightest indication of in tending to terminate the war. The Northern con scription now begins; the Southern Congress meets on the 18th to settle the plan of the Southern con scription. The North breathes defiance, the South defence, as fiercely as ever. Mr. CASSIUS M. CLAY, indeed would turn the stream of popular indignation if he could against England ; both at Washington and Philadelphia he has delivered himself of a bundle of fiery-crackers we must call them—for philippics would be too dignified a name for them. What enrages him so with us we cannot tell, unless that London could but laugh at the foolish display he made of himself both here and in Paris, as he was on the road to St. Petersburg. Archbishop HUGHES, however, more wisely con fines himself to rousing his countrymen to arms. He too, came over to see what France and England really were doing and thinking, and he returns with a very good and peaceful account of us. He tells his fellow-countrymen that both England and France have acted with great forbearance; mentions with praise the conduct of the suffering workmen, and points out what a real difficulty their case pre sents to their Governments. But the Archbishop is the most outrageous of any of the orators, in his demands for the war. He urges the Government not only to call out the first draught of 300,000, but a second to the same amount the next week, and not to desist till they have compelled every man, rich and poor, to take his personal share in the war! His reason is that the South must be not only van quished but subjugated, and absorbed again some how into the great undivided Union. No telling, says the Archbishop, where secession will end, if once permitted to begin. To save the North itself from splitting up, the South must be subjugated, even if it be by desolation ! Christian doctrine this ! Yet we imagine that it is the Christianity of the great majority of the Northern clergy of all denominations. It is impossible, we confess, not to re spect the courage which is fed by reverses, and which redoubles its efforts when those already made have proved insufficient ; yet in this case it affords but the sad prospect of a pro tracted war over a vast continent, for the courage and determination of both sides are equal, and the commercial and other advantages of the North are partly balanced by the defensive character of the Southern war, and by the greater skill which their generals have shown hitherto. It certainly appears likely, now that Manchester and India will have time enough to perfect their new commercial relation to each other. Americans will see with pain that, notwithstanding the loss of their trade, we are doing as well as ever in the way of exports —it shows them to be not so important tons as they thought themselves ;—but they will be consoled by the recollection that our temptation to intervention will be proportionately less. The painful calamity of idiotcy is one which will always meet with due consideration from a civilised and Christian country. It is only to be wished that all of this unhappy class could be placed under the care of persons naturally qualified to superin tend their management, and servants trained to take care of them. The Asylum for Idiots at Earls wood, Red Hill, Surrey, has recently published a statement of its claims, based on the report of the Commissioners in Lunacy and the testimonies of numerous visitors of high authority, including that of our practical and benevolent LORD MAYOR. When such an intelligent man of business says— " I have had much gratification in witnessing the benefits conferred by this institution on so many poor suffering creatures, and I have great satisfac tion in expressing my admiration of the manner in which the beneficial system is administered, and of the cleanly and comfortable condition of the whole of the establishment"—few of our readers will doubt that a subscription to the institution will be a safe investment of their charitable contributions. The report of the Commissioners, which may be entirely relied on, is very satisfactory. They say :—" Examination of the results in the dis charged cases gives satisfactory proofs of the bene ficial working of the Institution. Out of the thirty-one, only two were sent away wholly un improved. Seventeen (ten boys and seven girls) were improved, the majority of them greatly; and twelve (seven boys and five girls) had so much profited by the instruction obtained here, as to be able to work for their livelihood, some of them having since got regular employment, the girls in domestic service, and the boys as carpenters, tailors, and mat makers. There are now on the books 331, of whom 231 are males, and 100 females; and, with the exception of one girl and two boys absent on leave, and one boy out for the day, we have seen all during our visit. At dinner in the hall to-day 170 were assembled, the number of boys about doubling that of the girls, and their tidiness of dress and ap pearance and orderlybehaviour were extremelypleas hag. The dinner was well served, excellent in quality, and abundant. The same is to be said of the dinners in the single and associated rooms, occupied by first-class patients; and the plan of a probationary dining-room, mentioned in the last entry, and in Iwhich we saw 22 patients dining to-day, continues to work successfully." Everything possible is done to amuse and in terest the inmates, and to develope any latent capacities they may possess. About two hundred are able to attend morning and evening prayers, and religious worship, and it is remarked that I the children—the inmates are chiefly young —enjoy the music. "We saw," says the commissioners, "the system followed in the schools, and thought it well adapted, not only to encourage cheerfulness, and bodily exercise and drill, but to develope such faculties as their respective grades of disease or deficiency may still have left to these poor children. We liked especially the shopkeeping lessons intro duced since our last visit, by which the boys, while amused by a game in which a shop or counter is set out with various articles in daily use, at which some act as buyers and others as sellers, are at the same time instructed cleverly in elements of knowledge as to the value of goods and money, n umbers, and weights and measures. Much atten tion is also given to speech, and the schoolmaster, a n apparently v judicious and competent person, shops B e sides this, the children were found employed as o b v i ou s interest in his work." a I...weavers, basket makers, tailors, and car penters, al s liouseholdwork end needle one as a briak la Y en work is, of course, chiefly occupation for the girls, and, besides the w ork done for the institution, £l5O h ad been realised by the sale of mats and handi work The farm and garden em ploy of a similar kind . about twenty boys; to b ec hildren. a weekly bathing is said much enjoyed by the Th e commissioners report on a ll the deficiencies of the est a bl ishment, b ut they are such as the pub lie only can e na ble the manage rs to remedy —since they all invol ve ex p ense .

A light donkey -cart might advantageously be provided for use in the grounds, and we recommend an addition to the out-door games, of nine-pins and bowls," We need not add a line in advocacy of the claims of such an institution on the benevolent public ; we feel pleasure in inviting to it the attention of all to whom this melancholy form of human ills is a subject of peculiar interest, and in referring them to the Institution itself for further information. A ♦isit to Earlswood would be welcomed, and with out this all necessary to be known may be learned at the office, 29, Poultry. We may also mention two names, which alone will be sufficient to give confidence—those of the Treasurer, Mr. Alderman ABBISS, and of the Honorary Secretary, JOHN CONOLLY, M.D., D.C.L, In the Report recently issued by the Commission appointed to examine plans for the embanking of the Surrey side of the River Thames, it ought to be borne in remembrance that the south bank of the river was portioned off by the Commissioners into three divisions between Deptford and Battersea. First, there was the section extending from Dept ford to Westminster Bridge. Secondly, there was the section between Westminster Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge. And, thirdly, there was the section between Vauxhall Bridge and Battersea Park. We would here particularly recall to mind the fact of this very singular subdivision, because we would by no means have it forgotten that the Commissioners, after making it, have thrown aside the notion of advocating the embankment of the only portion of the route that the pub lic at large are particularly desirous of having embanked. Say the Commissioners in their report recently published, " With respect to the first section, as the existing thoroughfares with the new street now being made between Southwark and Biackfriars-road, will, in our opinion, afford sufficiently convenient and direct means of commu nication for the traffic, and as the flooding of the low-lying districts could be obviated by a more efficient system of drainage—there does not appear to us any public necessity for an embankment and roadway between Deptford and Westminster bridge." They then go on to advocate the adop tion of early measures with a view to the em bankment of the southern side of the river Thames further up—a distance of two miles, from Westmin ster-bridge to Battersea Park—where it is not nearly so much wanted. Before any definite decision be arrived at, we do earnestly trust that the whole ques tion may be submitted to the most careful scrutiny in the House of Commons next session. The notion of rejecting the Southern embankment, solely on the score of economy, between Deptford and West minster, and of preferring the embankment of that south side from. Westminster to Bat tersea instead—does appear to us a very melancholy result indeed of the late Commission of Inquiry. Adopt the recommendation of that Commission, and if you don't exactly spoil a ship for a halfpenny worth of tar, you certainly take the most effectual course possible to spoil—utterly spoil—the noblest cf all our great metropolitan improvements out of motives of beggarly economy. The Prince of Wales has given directions for re embellishing and fitting up the Adelaide frigate, on Vir ginia Water, in a style of elegance similar to the Victoria and Albert yacht. The Belvedere is also being fitted up as a residence for Commander Welch. This fort was originally built by the old Duke of CumLerland, brother to George 111., bht, after his death, was suffered to go into decay, till George IV. had it put into its present state of repair. —Court Journal. It is not generally known that the Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the fiancee of the Prince of Wales, is no stranger to England, having, a few years back, paid a long visit to London as a guest of Count Rexectlow, who represented Denmark at the Court of St. James's; and, during her stay, she attracted more than ordinary attention from those who joined the family circle, not only by her personal attractions, but also by her kind disposition, and charming and unaffected manners.—Court Journal. ARRIVAL OF Two FRENCH WAR STEAMERS AT BLACK ALL.—On Saturday afternoon the French corvette Borata, and another screw steamer, arrived in the river, off Blackwall, and brought up at the buoys off the entrance to the East India Docks. They have on board a large number of naval cadets, and other gentlemen connected with the French navy, who have come to visit the International Ex hibition. It is stated that their stay will extend over nearly a week. Most of the officers and crew landed at Blackwall pier yesterday morning, after attending the usual service on board. The cadets appear to be a body of very fine youths, and in their stroll through the East India Docks seemed much pleased with the fleet of splendid merchant ships which is lying there. The presence of the foreigners in the river, and the passing of the boats to and fro with their little tricolours flying, caused quite an in terest at Blackwell, and crowds were attracted to the pier. Many walked up to town, and the principal thoroughfares in the East-end were thronged with the foreign blue jackets. ANOTHER GREAT FORESTER DEMONSTRATION AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE (TO-DAY)..--The third and last demonstration of the season of this great legalised friendly, and what some persons call secret, society com menced this morning, and promises, from the many thou sands travelling by rail and road, to be little short in point of visitors to any of the previous fetes during the season, aancient e n r i o f As early as 9 o'clock many thousand had congregated at the London-bridge railway terminus, whilst hundr e d s o f d out send richly,de degree ee d o f containing then ei members n to rd pleasure vans, stage coaches, broughams, and i n d ee d al most every description of vehicle, includin g several four in-hand's, also h an d's Lincoln green, and bedecked with th e i ns i gnia of the order th d at re o s f se the co Shepherds, with their "scrips and crooks." Judging from the numbr trying at half-past 10 to get through the barriers at the London-bridge and Victoria stations, and others going by the road, there is little doubt but the funds of the society will be greatly augmented by the affair. DREADFUL MURDER AND SUICIDE IN DORSET SHIRE.— Shortly after seven o'clock on Friday morning the little village of Walditch, about a mile and a half from Bridport, was the scene of a fearful tragedy. In this parish there are only two resident farmers, and these have for some time past been constantly at variance on account of the rating of the property. The matter has been referred to the board of guardians of the Bridport union, who re commenled a survey of the parish. This would entail con siderable expense, and would of course fall heavily on the largest occupier. 11l feeling has therefore long existed ; but on Friday morning Mr. Daniel Stone, one of the farmers, walked by the house of Mr. Fooks, the other farmer. The latter, on seeing him, deliberately took his gun and went out of the door, without saying a word, and shot Mr. Stone in the back of the head, death being instan taneous. Scarcely had the horrified villagers heard the report of the gun, ere another report was heard from the bed-room of Mr. Fooks, and it was soon discovered that he attempted self-destruction. As the inquest has net yet been held, we cannot say what was the exact nature of the wound the wretched man inflicted on himself, but we hear from a spectator the forehead is fearfully lacerated, but that the shots in their upward course have probably only grazed the skull, and it is doubtful whether they will prove fatal or not. The farmer is, of course, under the surveil lance of the police. The under sheriff of the county has been sent for, and the high sheriff resides within half a mile of the scene of the tragedy. Mr. Stone was probably about 30 years of age, and Mr. Fooks ten or twelve years his senior, The deceased was highly respected, as he was a very hospitable, social farmer, fond of society, and conse quently known by most of the agriculturists of West Dorset. his untimely end has caused an excitement in Bridport which may be imagined but scarcely described. The unfortunate Fooks is of a good family, and alth'ough no sympathy is felt for him, yet there is a deal for his friends, who are, of course, overwhelmed with grief at the sad occurrence. Both the deceased and Fooks were bachelors. DEATH OF A GREAT NORTHERN DIRECTOR.—It is with regret that we have to announce the death of Francis parker, Esq , one of the Great Northern Railway Directors. Mr. Parker was for teeny years an active and a very useful member of the Great Northern board ; and much respected by those who knew him. He was also one of the largest shareholders ih the company,—,/lerapath. LAT Es r NEWS. DEFEAT AND CAPTURE OF GARIBALDI, TURIN, AUG. 30. The following detail 3 of the capture of Gari baldi have been received : " Yesterday a corps of Bersaglieri, commanded by Colonel Pallavicino, attacked Garibaldi, who occupied a strong position at Aspramonte. "After a sharp contest, Garibaldi was wounded and taken prisoner with all his followers." The official Gazette of this evening publishes a despatch from General Cialdini confirming the news of the capture of Garibaldi, and stating that 2,000 Garibaldians were also taken prisoners. Colonel Palla'vicino's column numbered only 1,800 men. The Gazette also contains the following : " In order that the public may Lot credit false news, the Government declares that the official Gazette is the only organ of its views and acts." The Italia states that in the encounter with the Garibaldians the Royai troops had 12 killed and 200 wounded. The same paper says that Garibaldi has received two wounds, cne of which is serious. His son Menotti is also wounded. The Gazetta a Torino says that Garibaldi has asked to be put on board an English steamer, in order that he may leave his country. In pursuance of orders from the Government General Garibaldi is being conveyed to Spezzia in an Italian war vessel. Colonel Pallavicino has been appointed General. Deputy Calvino has been arrested at Naples. TURIN, AUG, 31, Evening. The trial of Garibaldi and his followers will take place immediately. It is not known, however, by what tribunal he will be tried. Signor Alberto Mario and Miss White have been arrested at Milan. It is rumoured that Deputies Nicotera and Maceli are among the Garibaldian prisoners. The deserters from the Royal army to Garibaldi, who had been made prisoners, have been shot. The French Government has complimented the Cabinet of Turin, by telegraph, on the facts ac complished at Aspramonte. PARIS, AUG. 31. The Moniteur of today says : " The insurrection which threatened to compro mise the destinies of Italy has terminated. " Garibaldi, after a very sharp contest, in which he was wounded, has been compelled to surrender with all his adherents. "He was immediately put on board an Italian frigate, which has received orders to convey him to Spezzia. " The blockade of the coasts of Sicily has been raised." PARIS, AUG. 30. La Franca of this evening asserts that Garibaldi has been conveyed to the citadel of Reggio, where every assistance is rendered him. Colonel Pallavicino, the Commander of the Bersaglieri who defeated Garibaldi, was formerly his companion in arms in the Southern army. MILAN, AUG. 31. A false rumour of the death of Garibaldi pro voked a popular demonstration in this city yester day evening. The crowd proceeded towards the residence of the French Consul, but was met by a squadron of cavalry, which summoned it to disperse. No at tention being paid to this snmmons, the military cleared the streets by force, and one person was killed and several others were wounded. Tc-day the city is tranquil, but the National Guard are under arms, and patrols travcrse the streets as E. precautionary measure. The municipality has issued a proclamation, exhorting the citizens to concord, and to rally round the standard of the King. TURIN, AUG. 31. Popular demonstrations took place at Brescia and Como yesterday evening. At the former place all passed off quietly, but at the latter the people were dispersed by force. The state of siege will be maintained in the Neapolitan provincs and Sicily. The Royal troops are in pursuit of two bands of Garibaldians which escaped at the taking of Ca tania and the conflict at Aspramontz. PARIS, SEPT. 1. The Paris papers publish the following telegram, dated Alexandria, 31st ult. : " Syria is tranquil and the Druses pay the taxes. " In the Hauran, however, agitation prevails and conflicts have taken place between some of the lead ing chiefs." GARIBALDI. The foreign papers all comment upon the great event of the day, the capture of Garibaldi. The Independance Beige says : "Garibaldi, pursued near Aspramonte by a column of bersaglieri, has been defeated, wounded, and captured. This is the great news of the day, posted up at the Paris Bourse, announced by the Moniteur as perfectly authentic. It is a great success for the Turin Cabinet, an un-hoped for sue. cess, but the consequences of which will be fatal to it if it does not understand to draw from this victory those benefits which Garibaldi, by his rebellion, wished to confer upon Italy. Ganbaldi, doubtless, was a rebel to his Kind. But he acted in the interests of Italy. That is his strength. The victory of Aspramonte will only be complete when the Turin Cabinet can declare that the Roman question is set tled." The Lebats says : " Garibaldi is wounded Garibaldi is vanquished Garibaldi is a prisoner ! How has this happened ? No thing else is spoken of in Paris. The surprise is universal, , Some even say it is a false report. We have, as yet, no details. Garibaldi's volunteers are said to have mustered 2,000, while Colonel Pallavicnio had only 1,800 men. The engagement took place in the mountains, where there was every facility offered for guerilla warfare for flight or retreat. . . ." The Debats concludes as follows : " The ship which is now steering towards Spezzia, with Garibaldi wounded on board, while it brings a victory to the Government of Italy, brings at the same time a great subject of anxiety. What is to be done with Garibaldi ? 1 La Presse says : " The rows of the capture of Garibaldi has spread through Paris like wildfire. This is a solemn moment for Italy. She is now at the most critical point of her destiny. Armed rebellion is vanquished, but the idea which armed that rebellion is triumphant. Victor and vanquished are animated . by the same irresistibl e impulse -4 To Rome !'" We give the last prochmation of Garibaldi : " Italiazs !—My programme is always the same. I wish, as much as it depends upun me, that the plebiscite of the 21st of October, 1860, shall be ratified—that the past signed between the people and the King shall be carried uut to the letter. "I bow to bis Majesty Vi ctor E mm anuel, a King elected by the nation, but I am hostile to a government which is only Italian in nanaG—to a Government which, to please diplomacy, ordered, in the month of May, arrests and trials at Sarnico, as it now provokes civil war in the South to curry favour with the Emperor Napoleon. " Such a Ministry cann ot, must not, be longer supported. It deceives the liino• • it compromises him as it did in the proclamation of the 33 o f August last. By its obstinacy ' ' it drives the Southern Provinces to separation, it betrays the nation. "The livery of a foreign master can never be regarded as a mark of h on our or esteem by any Government of our own, " When I reached Sicily that generous isle was at the point of despair. The Neapolitan provinces—no one is ignorant of the fact —cannot be kept down by any amount of troops. "Love and good government must be the foundation of Italian unity. The civic authorities have preferred a dif ferent line. They have sown hatred broad-cast, and they reap hatred in return. " Madmen ! They wish for civil war the more easily to drown in blood the future of Italy, and to offer up accept able victims to the altar of de•potism. "For my part, I cannot allow these culpable designs to be carried out, Let the formula of the plebiscite' once more save Italy. Let all local petty interests give way to the great idea of Italian unity. " Let all the hearts, all the intellect of Italy, join to achieve the great end of our resurrection I Let the thoughts and ideas of all be exclusively directed to the liberation of Rome. Leave the rest to the future. "To Rome, then I to Rome ! Rise brave men Df 1848 and 1849 ! Up, generous youth of 1859 and 1860. Como to this holy crusade! We shall be victorious because our raw to is—‘ Reason, national right, and the approval of the world " Our revolution has engendered great hopes in the world. We must justify those hopes. " I am sure that the Italian people will not be wanting in its duty. May it please God that our victorious army will be with us.

But if I die lam con- vinced that you will nobly, avenge my death, and carry out the work I have taken i•a hand. " Long live Italy I Hail to Victor Emmanuel in the Capitol I " GARIBALDI. " Catania, August 24, 1802." FRAN CE. noußsE, Aug. 30.—The announcement of the defeat of Garibaldi has given great impetus to the market, and prices have improved.

Sardinian Austrian Lonbard THE SUPPLY OF COTTON. Now that the cotton crisis has nearly if not quite reached its maximum intensity, it is interesting to take a retrospective glance at the supplies which have come to hand in former years. The import last year amounted to 1,256,984,7361 b., a total in excess of the receipts of any former year with the exception of 1860, when the deliveries from the various sources of supply were 1,390,938,7521 b. The import of the present year, having regard to the experience of the last eight months, will pro bably not exceed 400,000,0001 b., or not quite up to the level at which affairs stood in 1846, when 467,856,2741 b. were received. The very prosperity which has prevailed in the cotton manufacture since 1846 has then proved an evil, for if manufacturing enterprise had not experienced a prodigious expan sion during the last 10 or 15 years the receipts at present obtained would have nearly met current requirements. Notwithstanding the attempted blockade of the ports of the Southern States of America, the Transatlantic driblets which have come to hand—and which have rather increased in importance of late—will probably " foot up" this year for from 15,000,0001 b. to 20,000,0001 b., about the quantity ordinarily received from the Brazils, It is worthy of remark that, notwith- standing the discussion which has prevailed during the past 12 months, India is at present the only part of the world which has in any degree proved a substitute for the vast cotton field of America. Thus last year India sent us 369,040,4481 b. as compared with 204,141,1681 b. in 1860. The largest receipts of cotton from India in any former year occurred in 1857, when 250,338,1441 b. came to hand ; and it is satisfactory to find that on the whole, India has made great progress during the last 20 years, in regard to the export of cotton, having forwarded to this country 145,179,2161 b. in 1855, as compared with 118,872,742113. in 1850, and 58,437,4201 b. in 1845. It is not too much to say, that if such progress has been achieved in the lace of many economic and political difficulties, the industrial development of the country will proceed at an accelerated rate with the increased transit facilities now afforded. The United States last year sent us 819,500,528kb. of cotton, as compared with 1,115,890,6081 b. in 1860, so that it was not after all till the present year that the disturbance of the regular course of trade began to be seriously felt. It is not a little singular that notwithstanding all the writing and talking on the subject, miscella neous sources of supply, such as the Brazils, coun tries bordering on the Mediterranean, the West Indies, &c., actually sent us less cotton last year than in 1860, the deliveries having been 68,443,759:b. in 1861, against 70,906,9716 h. in the preceding 12 months. ALARMING FIRES.-THIS DAY. This morning, about 2 o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr, A.Maddox, a tailor, carrying on business at No. 4, Bridge-crescent, Kilburn. The flames commenced, from some unknown cause, in the first floor. '1 he parish engines, under the direction of engineer Flem ming., and three of the London brigade, with Mr. Staples, foreman of the district, were soon in attendance, but the fire could not be extinguished until considerable damage was done. Fortunately, the sufferer was insured in the Sun Fire-office. Another fire took place in the premises belonging to Mr. J. T. Clarke, a watch manufacturer, situate at 17, 'Whit tington-place, Upper Holloway. The discovery was made by the police-constable on duty, who at once sounded the alarm in the usual way, and after some trouble he succeeded in arousing the inmates, who were fortunate in effecting a safe retreat. The Royal Society's escape, under the direc tion of Mr. Inspector Baddeley, quickly attended, closely followed by the parish engines and the Farringdon-street brigade, under the direction of Mr. Fogo, the chief officer of the B district, and engineer Perryer. Plenty of water having been procured, the parish engineers and firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the flames ex tinguished until the costly stock in trade was nearly de stroyed, and the building severely damaged. The origin of this fire is also unknown. Fortunately, the sufferer was insured in the Sun Fire-office. Another fire took place in the premises belonging to Messrs. Langley and Co., cotton factors, in George-street, Mile-end, New Town, which at one time threatened seri ous consequences, and the land steam engine, by Shand and Mason, was soon in attendance. Owing, however, to the assistance rendered by the inmates and neighbours, the fire was subdued before any considerable damage was done, which was extremely fortunate as the firm was uninsured. - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF B 'kNKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN BM LOGAN.-HOLDING TO BAIL. This was an application for release from custody. The bankrupt has been in prison for five months, and the ap plication was grounded on the fact of the bankrupt having been ill for some time past, and that further confinement would be further detrimental to his health, but the medical man would not say that it would affect the bankrupt's life. Mr. Sargood opposed for creditors, and did not consider that the illness was such as to justify the application, as all the accounts had not been filed, His Honour said he could not go so far as to say that necessarily the bankrupt's life must be in risk, but he thought the medi.al certificate was sufficient for the pur pose, and that the interests of the creditors would not be injured by the bankrupt's discharge on his entering into his own bail for £2OO, with two sureties in £lOO each, for his appearance at the next meeting, the 3rd November, giving four days' notice of bail to Mr. Aldridge, the Crown solicitor, and to the detaining creditors. SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Gibbons.) CROSSLEY V. SMITH. This was an action to recover a sum of .£ll odd for car pets alleged by plaintiffs, who are the well known upwsnraplainea a manufacturers, tttrers, to defendant, who is one of the buyers in the employ of Messrs. Blencairn. For the plaintiffs two witnesses positively swore that de fendant purchased a quantity of carpet, he having at the time some one with him. That the carpet was delivered at the place of defendant's employ, and that a receipt was given ; and, finally, that defendant had promised to pay the amount half a dozen times, upon one occasion actually offering half in a month and the other half in two months. Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant, said this was a most painful case, as both parties were equally respectable ; but he (Mr. Buchanan) should directly contradict the plaintiffs' case. His Honour—Are the plaintiff's books here ? Witness —Yes. The books were produced, and the entry was against defendant. The receipt for the goods was put in signed by Mr. Anderson. Mr. Buchanan called defendant, who said that he might have called upon plaintiffs with a friend, but he personally did not order the goods. He not only never ordered but he did not receive the goods. He never promised to pay. On one occasion he said that if any of his friends could be shown to have had the goods, to save bother he would pay. He had sent a great many friends to plaintiffs, but he was not liable for them. There was no person of th 3 name of Anderson in the employ of Messrs. Blencairn and Co. His Honour positively refused to decide this case. There was either a sad mistake or perjury, and the parties must have a jury. Mr. Buchanan—l do not object. Both cider agreed; and the case, which created some astonishment in court, was adjourned. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN UNSEASONABLE VISITOR.--Ann Mullens, a dissi pated looking-Roman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with creating a disturbance at Colonel Maitland's, 36, Curzon-street, by knocking at the door and rinsing the bells. John Newman, a servant to Colonel Maitland, said that at one on Sunday morning he was disturbed by a loud knocking at the door and ringing at the bells. He went out into the area twice, but not being able to see any one, and as the persons in the house were being disturbed he muffled the bells, and then went through the stables at the back of the house and round into Curzon-street, where he saw the prisoner, after knocking at the door and again pulling at the bells, leave the steps. He then followed her and gave her into custody by order of his master, Colonel Maitland. Prisoner said her husband was a servant to Colonel Maitland, and she went to him for money. Mr. Tyrwhttt said that if she wanted money from her husband that was not the way to get it. She had several times been cautioned, and he should fine her 205., or a month in default. EMBEZZLEMENT.—BASE INGRATITUDE.—IIenry Swift, a young man in the employ of Mr. Charles Cannon, dyer, of Davies-street, Berkeley-square, was charged with em bezzling money received for his master. Mr. Cannon said the prisoner came to him in great dis tress ; said he had been to Paris to a situation, but not being competent had got back through the assistance of the British Consul, and that he had no lodgings, having been sleeping in the parks. He at once gave the prisoner some money and wrote to an address the prisoner gave in the Strand where he had lived. Feeling satisfied u ith the answer he received, he told the prisoner to come the next day, and sent him out with parcels, telling him to receive the accounts. The prisoner brought back some money, but on the fifth day absconded, and he then ascertained he had received several sums, and given receipts for them. The cashier, to Mr. Cannon, said he had discovered that several persons had paid the prisoner and taken his receipt. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in remanding the prisoner, said that such conduct as he had been guilty of destroyed all confidence and blunted persons' feelings. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL IMPOSITION ON A LICEaSED VICTUALLER. Albert Beckett, a dissipated-looking middle-aged man, was brought up in the custody of Newland, a warrant-officer of the court, and charged before Mr. Dayman with obtaining a sum of money from Mr. Wm. Henry Hone, a licensed victualler, and lately the landlord of the Ranelagh Arms, Ebury-street, Pimlico. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was employed in the erection of Mr. Holland's house, whose premises were burnt down. He had a quantity of beer during the work, which he paid for. In the early part of April he came to prosecutor and borrowed some money, promising to pay him back in a short time, but he did not. Instead of keep ing his word he called upon him (prosecutor), stating that his wife was dead, and that he wanted the loan of a few shillings, and he stated that he would receive £5 from the Odd Fellows, of which he was a member, for her funeral. Mr. Dayman—Did he show you a paper ? Prosecutor —He did, sir. I was informed that he is not a member of that society. Mr. Dayman—That is a case of false pretence. Prosecutor—l also found out that his wife was not dead. Police-sergeant F 22 stated that on Saturday last the prisoner gave himself up. 'Witness asked him for what charge. He said that it was for obtainin g money from a publican under false pretences. 'Witness asked him what was the false pretence. He stated that he told him he wanted some money for the purpose of burying his wife. (The wife was in Court.) The prisoner was remanded for a week. THAMES, A DECIDED VIRAGO.--Margaret Forbes, a married woman, about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr. Woclrych, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and assaulting John Mackay, a police constable, No, 414 K, in Bull-lane, Stepney, near the Old Church. The constable stated that a few minutes before 11 o'clock on Saturday night the prisoner was quarrelling and fight ing with her husband, and, upon his interfering and taking her away, she abused him in the most earnest manner. He advised her to go home, which she'refused to do, and re uewed the conflict with her husband. A mob of 100 per sons, among whom were the greatest ruffians in Stepney, assembled, who encouraged the drunken couple. He took the prisoner into custody, and she kicked and plunged in a fearful way, raved and made use of very abominable lan guage and threats. She also struck him and kicked him, but she was too much intoxicated to do him much harm. He had much trouble in taking the prisoner to the station house, and in doing so he was hustled by the mob and stones were thrown at him. The prisoner delivered a very long harangue, and said the police constable dashed her on the ground, struck her with his fist, and gave her a black eye, and then kicked her. She was covered with black and blue marks, and the mob cried out shame. The prisoner called witnesses, who only spoke to a public house quarrel between her and her husband. It was proved she received the black eye on Thursday, and was before Mr. Selfe on Friday 'for being disorderly, and discharged with a lecture. Mr. Woolrych fined the prisoner 65., and, in default of payment, four days' imprisonment. The prisoner :ailed out to her friends in the court, "Don't pay the fine ; I'll do the four days in prison," She then shook her fist at the police-c•mstable, and exclaimed " I'll make you lose your coat as sure as you are born when I come out." JUVENILE DELINQUENCIES.—John Kay, a boy about 12 years of age, was brought before Mr. Woolrych c h arge d with stealing one guinea belonging to his mother. Mrs. Eliza Kay, a widow, and carrying en the business of an organ-maker in Poplar, said th at her son, the pri soner, was a very wayward boy, and had frequently stolen money from her and absented himself for several days. One day last week she sent him to a gentleman to receive a bill of one guinea. The money was paid to the boy who staid away until he had spent the whole of the money and then he sneaked into the house is the night time. The boy made no defence, and was remanded by Mr. Woolrych for a week, th e mag istrate observing that ho would decide what should be done with him on Monday next.
