Instead of being surrounded by the Royal troops, and entirely at their mercy--GARIBALDI, accord ing to our last advices from the island of Sicily, is stated to be at the head of a devoted band of armed adherents, numbering not under three thousand, but over eight thousand volunteers. Rumours were still flying about on either side of the Straits of Messina, when the latest telegrams were flashed to us, that the General had actually himself crossed over to the mainland. There was a formal contradiction of this statement put forth by the Government at Turin, it is true, but in some quarters, even at Turin, the report was not altogether discredited neverthe less. It is p oss ibl e —if we care not to sa y Probable —at any m omen t o f course t h at G AR IBALDI (going in advance of hi s a dh eren t s ) ma y cross over f rom the island to the Yeninsuta. sword . in hand, o f t h e - When h e for mally took possession, wdeoemsiciihteins, any a couple of y ears since, kingdomhe did o t h n e r et r way essential, it will be remembered, to take either a regular suite, a staff of officers or an esco r t w i t h him to the m ainland. Having fou g ht and conquered in Si c ily, he left his victorious bands of Garibaldians behind him in that island, some of them being f e t e d at Messina and some at Palermo, the rest being scattered north, south, east, west, between those two chief cities of the Sicilians. And he then literally entered the capital of Naples like any ordinary railway tra veller. We don't undertake to say, of course, that GARIBALDI purchased a railway ticket, first, second, or third class. We can only arrive pretty confidently at the conclusion that he did not take a " return ticket" upon starting for Naples. The historical fact, however, is beyond dis pute, that one fine day when the up train stopped at the Naples terminus—out of one of the carriages stepped General GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI, Hero of Marsala, Victor of Calatafimi, Liberator, and, for the time being, Dic tator of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Dressed in very threadbare raiment, in the very garb, in fact, in which he had roughed it through the whole of the campaign between the hour of his quit ting Genoa and the hour of his entering Naples, GARIBALDI stepped out of one of the carriages in that railway train accompanied only by one or two of his personal attendants. If he were to land now once more on those southern shores of the peninsula, who shall say that he would not, by the mere fact of his advent, cause the whole kingdom or, we ought now to say, the whole province, to rise in arms to welcome him ? It is idle to talk of his prestige having dwindled away, or, to any appreciable extent, become diminished. His name is as completely as ever beloved by the Italian multitude far and wide throughout the peninsula—especially, as it has long been, by the Milanese, by the Genoese, by the Florentines, by the Neapolitans. His discretion is thought less of than ever : no doubt about that ! But when did any one lay much:stress—if any —upon the Discre tion of GARIBALDI ? While, as to his other charac teristics, they shine as brightly now as they have ever done. His honesty is as visible as ever, and as revered. His consistency is all the more con spicuous now, for inasmuch as it stands almost in a manner, as one may say, isolated—shining out brightly in contrast to the cloudy inconsistencies of almost every other Italian Leader. His disin terestedness still remains steadily at the same point at which it has been so long fixed—it could not rise higher : being, as it is, a very proverb among the Europeans. And it is this—indiscreet if you will, but while indiscreet honest, heroic, patriotic, disinterested, magnanimous GARIBALDI, who is standing now, sword in hand, at the head of his Volunteers for the vindication of the cause he has all along, at the point of that sword, resolutely maintained ! You can hardly in reason blame him. He alone, is regard to this, comes out distinctly to the recognition of us all as perfectly and absolutely consistent. And he is rash, desperate, foolhardy now in the very wildness of his new enterprise, simply because he has been cajoled and deceived and thwarted to the very last extremity, and then abruptly left in the lurch by atl the rest of the Italian chiefs and parties—when he had been fairly driven by them to that last extremity! These are the simple facts. This is the plain, glaring, un deniable truth. There is no gainsaying it. GARI BALD' is the victim, we had almost said the inevi table Victim of the Emergency. And he is so single minded in his mode of striving to work out the one ambition of his life, the establishment of Italian independence, that if his becoming now the Victim of the Emergency is the one sole way of realising that ambition of his life, of establishing that independence of Italy, certain are we that GARIBALDI would be the last to regret it. Among the minuter particulars of an authorita tive character received to-day from Sieily in regard to events the occurrence of which was already \ known in this country briefly by telegram, there are one or two which possess for us a particular interest. For example, we now learn the precise he , of a-'9l GARIBALDI, and the exact words uttered by him when he recei ve d f rom t h e hands of the Duke of Nix AbtrnA a copy o f th e R oyal proclama tion. " GAa tillAttiv , we learn, "received them [the member s ot the littl e deputation] with his 1 us ual serenity, and ' after ha v i ng read the document said quietly, That is a _ ie kJ es of paper, a diplomatic ft Be l iedl i e it e x x ... et g h: e i n i t e l re im s it ; ce n h , I informa tion couw those persons note, nothi f n e g eli m n o g r s e o . better the mwehnot.a,dnvised him to put his naZ Again, we now posniseessi as to the particulars of the solitary colli s ion that bas yet taken place in Sicily bet ween a por tion— of the Royal troops, there, and an mimed band of the Garibaldians. This in every Way ez. ceptional collision took place, it appears, un s. — de r the following circumstances at San _ Stefano di Birona : 7 " ieolumn of about 100 soldiers met the right wing of the volunteers, and tried to arrest two deserters upon the way who had taken the red shirt. The volunteers resisted, a shot was fired ; general discharge followed. CAIROLI, GARIBALDI S young friend, still suffering of the wound he had received in 1860 at the assault of Palermo, threw himself unarmed between the ranks, and succeeded in calming both parties; but two volunteers were THE SUN, LONDON, TIT dead and five wounded, whilst the soldiers had six wounded." Such are the exact particulars as to this one exceptional collision. And it is rather significant in reference to this one solitary incident of the kind, that immediately tidings of the occur rence reached Palermo, the people of that city rose in a great turmoil of indignation ! The KING'S General there, General CUGIA, only calming the agitation, by declaring that the "untoward event" had taken place without his command, without even his knowledge, and that he deeply deplored it ! As it was then—so will it be afterwards and throughout. It is% mere pretence—this of putting down civil war or insurrection—on the part of the Government. GARIBALDI—rash though his pre sent enterprise unquestionably is in itself, to the uttermost degree of rashness—GARIBALDI is strong in this, that the Royal troops, the Government, the KING himself, will hesitate before drawing the sword against him and his in serious earnest. We have so often joined in what we still think the just, as well as nearly universal censure of Manchester for its practical inactivity on the cotton question, that the operations of the Manchester Cotton Company have the more claim upon o ur distinct and commendatory notice. Those opera tions, however, as well as the som ew h at less direct efforts of the Cotton Supply Associatio n d o , i n truth, but attest the justice of the general complaint. Had the great body of the manufacturers, interested in the Cotton Supply, but have united earlier in the formation of companies similar to that whose meet ing we report to day, we should have needed no Rate in Aid Bill, nor even powers to raise loans on the security of the Rates. It has always been an object of importance to Manchester to have more than one string to her bow in the supply of her material. Had she but taken the hint last April twelve levuthe, h.d elm but rogarsloa, A Q Qhco alleluia have done, the PRESIDENT'S declaration of war as a summons to look elsewhere than to America, she might, by this time, have had a very large supply from India, and in a condition, and of a quality well fitted for her use. The money she will pay for extra rates would probably have been amply suf ficient to have brought her into direct contact with the cotton growers of India, and yet further to have opened, by the very purchases she made, a market for the manufactured material. All honour, however, to those who do work. India is not the only country to which they direct their attention. A practical beginning, under an enterprising Englishman, has been made in West Africa, at Winnebah. Mr. A. C. HUTTON has pur chased 300 acres of the native King, and has brought the greater part of it under cotton cultivation. The reasonable hope is, that his success will stimulate the native chiefs and peorle to imitate his exam ple, and that negro free labour may be aroused to do as much for cotton as it has for palm oil. Egypt has also been attended to with success. Its culti vation of cotton will be increased this year from 120,000 to 200,000 bales, and the following year to 250,000. It will assuredly be the policy of those who direct these movements to interest as numerous countries as possible in their object. Of course the laws of political economy must be obeyed ; but we do not know that it is in contravention of them, for those who have the knowledge and ability, to guide those who have not, to work which will prove profitable to all par- ties. But India is, of course, the grand hope; and as much so for the sake of India herself as of Lanca shire. Our readers will see from the report and from Mr. HAYWOOD'S speech that the company is proceeding in the way which all sensible men have urged on the manufacturers. No one wished them to do anything so absurd as to turn cotton farmers, But the evidence had accumulated from every quarter that the native cultivator needed two things, which he could never have, unless those who wanted what he could produce came forward and met him. He wanted deliver ence from the frightfully usurious Asiatic bankers, and he wanted deliverance as much from the native middleman. The latter the company will at least furnish—the poor ryot will see near to him a buyer who will give him the market price for his article, and who will then undertake its clean ing, packing, and carriage to the neatest port. The distinct statement of Mr. HAYWOOD, after the examination on the spot, is, that the natives are in telligent, keen at a bargain, willing to make the profit of a rupee when they see the possibility, but they have not that practical knowledge which is requisite to make India a competitor with the United States. And that the sooner efforts are made to send out European agents in numbers to go into the various fields of labour,' the sooner the cotton trade of Lancashire will realize its great hope of making India, not only its great field for the supply of cotton, big its great market for manufactures. Our readers may remember how earnestly and often wehave expressed these views, and we can, therefore, but feel gratified that a gentleman should return from the cotton districts of India themselves, and from commencing the establishment of warehouses, the erection of fitting machinery, and the opening of a port, to enforce on Lancashire the same lesson. Our colonies are still our teachers, After years of struggle our Government has succeeded this ses sion in carrying their measures to "facilitate the transfer of land, to make titles more simple and secure, and diminish the expense attending pur chases and sales." Such were the terms in which her MAJESTY congratulated My Lords and Gentle men not many days ago. Meantime another por tion of her MAJESTY'S subjects have given her far more cause to congratulate them. They have risen, it appears, almost in a mutiny against the lawyers. The plain untechnical men of business have seen that to identify and transfer real pro perty ought to be a very simple business indeed, and they have made it so. VICTORIA, following the lead of South Australia, has turned the lawyers adrift, rejected amendments proposed by them to their bill, apparently because they were lawyers' amendments, and has passed an Act virtually abo lishing the pest of conveyancing, and establishing in its place a registration of the very title itself. We have not seen the Act as passed, but believe it will be found to adopt a principle which will make, as it ought to make, the sale and transfer of real property as easy as that of funded property. The title to a property is registered. Of course there is no difficulty while it remains an undivided property. But when divided, what then ? Why it is but to cancel the title of the former single proprietor alto gether, and to issue to each of the new proprietors a fresh title to the portion each holds. Thus there is There ever no such thing as a long hunt for verification of titles. system tend s to Ea c h . certificate of title gives one which is good against all corners. Charges on the property can, °f cours e , ever but the interdetsiette be entered against it, though such a prevent the accumulation of en cumbrances. : 0 8 : es ve si e o b ni e ti li b ev us e in n e o ss thi E ng ng w li h s a h t - - di:pp_osition of conveyancers, thro wing legal the eyes of Legislators, w hi c h hinders English men from sweeping away all the cobwebs and SDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1862. mystery of our intolerable conveyances, and adopting a similar plan. If we have older diffi culties here, our Colonial-office had created no trivial difficulties in Victoria also, but there the people have emancipated themselves from the lawyers. Victoria and the Austraaan colonies have been hitherto the butt of those who scoff at the ballot and a widely extended suffrage. Unable to deny the marvellous change fcr the better in the con duct of elections, they have, endeavoured to depre ciate the character of the elected. The changes of Ministry, and the appeals to the country have been as numerous as in some periods of our his tory, though we are not cursed with free ♦oting and a popular franchise. Still, by the good old prac tice of overlooking the beam in our own eye, we, or rather some who astune to speak for us, have not ceased to abuse the Australians, as unable to create, by their popular institutions, a working government. The troth is the Great Land Question, bequeathed them by our own blundering authorities at home, was the cause of the struggle, ald the parties being nearly balanced in political strength, for a long time, as the necessary result of such 1 position under any form of representative Governnent, neither the squatter, nor the "free selection" party could obtain the upper hand. The a:t just passed will, it is thought, satisfy such large classes of the commu nity that the Land Question is not likely again to be the cause of frequen changes of Ministry. As there is, however, somehing of compromise in it, we may expect that in tine, if other causes of conten tion are wanting, such concessions to unjust privi lege as still remain rant become the watchword of parties. Our antipodean felbw subjects appear also likely to become our ecclesiastical, as well as political antipodes. They are realising the happy consum mation of having no State-favoured Church to mar their political action, and to become a source of bit terness and irritation between differing sects. In Victoria they have had their education troubles like us, and of course the clergy have, as every where, been the chief cause of the trouble. Again, however, the laity have taken the matter into their own more prudent hands, and a " Common School Bill," based on the dictates of common .sense, has been carried. It has amalgamated two hoards, the the "Denominational" one, and the " Secular or National" one ; and a board, composed entirely of laymen, promise to bring the school system into an efficient working one. The Roman Catholic and the Church of England clergy are, as usual, the factious and discontented parties. In New South Wales the Government itself is also actively supporting the principles of Religious Equality. Some lands originally granted to the Church of England as the national Church, have reverted to the Government—they were in trust for religion and education. The religion is to be struck out, and the proceeds of the sale of the lands appropriated to education. It is almost a fac simile of the celebrated " Irish Appropriation Clause," with which the Lord JOHN of that day, and the Whigs, threw up their character and their real power together. The Government of Sydney, how ever, insists on its appropriation clause, and will carry it. It has done more. It has brought in a bill to abolish the State aid now accorded to religion. Four denominations share it, so that the approach to equality is much greater than in England. But, very wisely we doubt not, the colony now prefers that each body of religionists should tax themselves voluntarily, rather than that all should tax all and take it back from the common Exchequer. One of the most singular of the acts proposed in New South Wales is an act for the fencing in of properties. The great :tattle runs are of enormous extent, little counties, and the land act permits "free selectors," under a Government survey, to obtain portions of the runs not exceeding 320 acres. It is on these men that the compulsory fencing will bear hard. The rich holder of the great run can easily afford his half of the fencing, but the poorer small holder will have difficulty in meeting a cash demand. Yet the interminglement of cattle of the larger proprietors with those of each other, and with those of the smaller proprietors, is a prolific source of thieving and quarrels. How the practical difficulties will be overcome, does not appear to be quite settled ; but for the promotion of honesty and peace, it seems very desirable, however, that the Bill in some working form should become law. One reflection can but occur to every reader of Aus►_ra-- lian news—how much better our fellow-subjects 12,000 miles off can dispute over and settle their own business, than our Colonial-office could settle it for them. We are authorised to state that the Prince of Wales has addressed a letter to the Earl of Derby, as ' chairman of the committee appointed to advise her Majesty in reference to the Prince Consort Memorial, expressing the great pleasure with which his royal highness had read the recommendations contained in the report of the com mittee ; and intimating his intention of; subscribing at the proper time, the sum of £2,000 towards the erection of the central hall suggested as one portion of the general plan. To-day Lord Palmerston will be presented by the mayor and corporation of Dover, with a portrait of his lordship in his capacity of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. '1 he ceremony will take place in the Maison Dieu Hall, Dover. His Excellency the Earl of Carlisle arrived in London, from Dublin Castle, on Friday night. The Duke of Leinster left his residence, on Carl ton House-terrace, on Friday, for his seat, Carlton House, county Kildare. The commercial accounts from New York by the present mail show an interval of/general inactivity. The premium on gold continued to depend almost solely on the fluctuations in the demand for foreign remittances, the con fidence of the people at large in the value of the Federal paper being still undisturbed—a circumstance which will add terribly to the final crash. The exportations of wheat averaged about 110,000 quarters per week, and those of salted provisions were proportionably large, the Western farmers apparently being tempted to hurry their produce currency. forward b y During the high p r i ce it rea li zes i n th e i nconver tibl e the seven months ended the 31st of July the ship ments of flour th i s year have amounted to 1,780,733 barrels, or one-fifth more than in the correspond ing period of 1861, and between two and three times as much as in 1 860; while those of wheat have been 1,240,000 quarters against 1,490,000 in 1861, and only 340,000 in 1860. Of Indian corn the shipments have been 920,000 quarters against 650,000 last year, and 230,000 in the pre vious year. From the magnitude of these figures some persons are disposed to apprehend, looking at the neglect of cultivation that must have taken place in various districts, that the country may have been draining itself of supplies that will hereafter be needed, and that a comparative scarcity of food may eventually be added to the other dis asters of the war. The total shipments of specie from New York this year have been 7,300,000 dollars— a sum very considerably in excess of the amount received from I California. RAPID PASSAGES TO CALCUTTA.—A private tele gram received in Liverpool yesterday announces that the ship Ghazepore had arrived out at Calcutta, making the passage from Liverpool in 78 days. We are informed that a telegram has just been received via Jubal by the East India and London Shipping Company, announcing the safe arrival of their screw steamer Hydaspes at Calcutta, having made (including detention at Madras) the quickest passage on record. She arrived at Madras in 65 days, Saugor Roads in 68 days, and anchored at Calcutta within 69 days after departure from England.

The latter, under the command of Jeff. Thomson, were driven back with great loss. No particulars are given. A band of 1,000 guerillas attacked the town of Newark, Knox county, on August 1. The place was defended by only 75 Federals, who were cap tured. Captain Brown, commander of the Confederate ram Arkansas, was wounded in the head while running the gauntlet of the Federal fleet. 500 Boston merchants have pledged themselves to give their employes the situations they now occupy . after they return from the war, if they volunteer immediately.

News received here from Damascus states that general discontent prevails in Syria, and that the situation of affairs is serious. Troops have been sent to the Haouran. The revolted Bedouins and Druses have refused to pay the taxes. Fears are entertained that the Mussulmans, by intercepting the roads leading to the south, will bring about a stoppage of the payment of the Christian indemnity. TURIN, AUG. 18. The official Gazette of today states that Gari baldi has gone from Piazza to Aidone. Influential persons belonging to the extreme party have written to Garibaldi, urging him to abandon his enterprise, and spare Sicily a civil war. Garibaldi has proposed to some of his friends at Palermo to establish a Committee of Public Safety. It is said that they absolutely refused. Perfect tranquillity prevails throughout Sicily. Acoriling to further advices received here from Palermo, Garibaldi was still in the neighbourhood of Piazza. The Royal troops had arrived within half a day's journey from the Volunteers. The number of the former was much superior. It was believed that a pacific solution of matters would be arrived at. The conduct of the population continued to be such as to render any extension of the movement impossible. MOSTAR, AUG. 17.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S -INN-ROAD.— The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending Au g . 16, w as 2,729, of which 912 were new =Ws BALLOON ASCENT ON BEHALF OF THE BI?IlI6H ASSOCI,47IOYI Yesterday Mr. Glpii:.her, the Superintendent of the Meteorological Department of the Royal Ob - servatory, made a second ascent from the works of the Gas Company, in Wolverhampton. As on the first occasion so also now, the ascent was made in Mr. Coxwell's mammoth balloon, and under the di rection of that teronaut. The instruments taken up were some of them the same, and others simi lar to those used on the previous ascent, the only exception being that of Thompson's electrometer, which was destroyed in the descent upon the for mer occasion. That instrument being absent, the observations will be confined to the primary ob servations contemplated by the Association, namely, the humidity and temperature of the atmosphere, with its pressure, the vibration of the needle, and how much, if any, ozone there is in the atmosphere away from the earth. About 85,000 cubie feet of very light gas was turned in, and shortly before one o'clock Mr. Glaisher, having shipped all his instruments and arranged them on the board before him, prepara tions were made to leave the earth. One fourth of the quantity of gas supplied was lat out, with a few bags of ballast, and the signal having been given the balloon left the earth at two minutes past one, amidst the warmest plaudits from Lord Wrottes ley and a large number of the gentry of the neigh bourhood. The ascent was a most steady one, the wind was blowing about 20 miles an hour in the lower region of the atmosphere, the sky was clear, and the sun was shining brilliantly. The direction in which the balloon was first wafted was south by west, about half a point to the west. On attaining to about 10,000 ft. the upper current of the atmo sphere was met with. The voyagers then got into a southerly direction, were seen due south, then a point or two to the east, and in about a quarter of an hour after they had left the earth they were north by east, about half a point to the east. They then seemed to take their first dip from a high to a lower altitude, and then again to ascend, and it was thought a second dip was made during the time they were in sight, which was nearly 24- hours, for so clear was the atmosphere, so immense the size of the balloon, and so slow the motion of the wind, that it was 3.25 before the machine was lost to the sight of spectators on the ground whence it ascended. The direction taken seemed to be over Birmingham, and towards Coventry. Great inte rest is taken in the experiments now being made, the results of the previous experiments being in many respects contrary to all previous views on the points of meteorology that are now being investi gated. For instance a cloud one mile thick was passed through on the first occasion, without there being any dew deposited on the most sensitive hygrometer ; and no ozone was found in the air, notwithstanding that in the experiments on the earth the most ozone is usually found in the highest altitudes. For the experiments of yesterday ozone papers were specially made by Dr. Moffatt himself. WOLVERHAMPTON, Monday Night.— The bal loon descended at five minutes past four, at Soli hull, 25 miles from Wolverhampton, after attaining a height of 41 miles, where the temperature was 24 deg., the barometer about 13in., and the dew point minus. SCIENCE AND ART DEPARTMENT. The annual report just issued by the Science and Art Department of the Committee of Council on Education states that in science schools or classes there are now 3,147 persons under instruction, of whom 2,272 are in schools under certificated teachers and consequently receiving aid in the form of pay ments on results ; 76,303 pupils in parochial and public schools, and 15,483 in central schools, in con nexion with this department, received instruction in art in 1861; and 91,836 persons were taught drawing in the schools of art. The South Kensing ton Museum was visited by more than 600,000 persons in the year; 8,884 photographs, unmounted, were sold ; the amount received being £715. Mr. Redgrave reports that the pictures in oil are being by degrees secured from injury by glass, and most of those more particularly susceptible of injury from their delicate execution, and which are on a level with the spectator, have been already so guarded. Ventilation and the regulation of the heat have been carefully attended to, and every precau tion used to preserve these valuable works from deterioration. The collections, as a whole, are under the best conditions for insuring their per!ect pre servation, and in the instance of the few works in which change is to be apprehended its progress has been arrested by the precautions adopted. Mr. Sheepshanks has added to his munificent gifts a picture in oil by W. Mulready," Mother and Child," painted expressly to add to the series of that artist's works. Under the head of institutions subject to the superintendence of this department, Sir R. Murchison reports the progress of the geological survey ; 1,430 square miles in Great Britain were surveyed in the year. The Government of the King of Italy have resolved to commence a geological survey of that kingdom, and to carry it on upon the plan adopted here ; and M. Sella, of Turin, has in a recent visit to London been supplied with all the necessary information for the development of this scheme. The botanical gardens of the Royal Dublin Society have been open on Sunday since the 18th of August, 1861, and on tl e remaining Sundays of that year they were visited by no less than 80,655 persons, upwards of 15,000 being present on one occasion. The visitors were chiefly of the humbler classes. Not a flower appears to have been plucked, nor a plant injured, with the exception of some potted plants thrown down in the conservatories in consequence of the narrowness of the passages. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Monday, as usual, brought its great influx of visi tors to the building, the total number admitted up to 5 O'clock being 60,401. Of this number the sea son tickets were 3,895, the payments 56,506. Those most indefatigable of Royal sightseers, the Duke and Duchess of Brabant, with the Count of Flan ders, were admitted shortly before 8 o'clock, and remained in the building till the afternoon. As yet the numbers of workpeople, &c., sent in by their employers bears but a small proportion to the num bers in 1851, when scarcely a day passed at this time of the year that some 2,000, or even 3,000 were not present. There was yesterday a very large number of visitors from the country in the building, all, as usual, from the west and south-western dis tricts. The railway returns show nearly all the excursion traffic to be from these points. Scarcely any come from the north. The relaxation of the former stern rule of the Commissioners, that no ale or sandwiches should be sold by the refreshment contractors in the building, has already had a good effect in mitigating the inconvenience which arose from the introduction of hampers and stone jars of beer. Additional space has also been granted to the contractors near the Horticultural-gardens, and the refreshment department is now apparently con ducted to the satisfaction of everybody. SINGULAR DEATH FROM WEARING FALSE TEETH. —Yesterday Mr. Langham hald an inquest at St. George'a Hospital, on the body of William Warde, aged 25, a police-constable, who lost his life under the following extraordinary circumstances:—George Lansford, 321 X, said he knew the deceased, who resided at No. 3, Dean street, Westminster. On Saturday last witness, de ceased, and another police•constable were returning from the Exhibition at about eight o'clock in the evening. They were in the Cromwell-road, and as it was raining hard they all started off running to catch an omnibus which was standing at the corner of the lixbi bition-road, deceased being in advance.

M. Henri de Peine tells thecollowing story in his Causerie in the new journal :11 'ranee:— " About thirty years ago, when the set. o f St. simohians, ridiculed, and almost persecuted in Pa; s , emigrated in groups to the East, Felicien David, (author,f the new opera " Lalla Rookh," which was successfully ',ought out the other day at ',be Opera Comique) found hire.af ploughing the blue waters of the Mediterranean on lx. r d t h e Clo rinde, a rakish little merchantman, bound for conga/Ai nople. Among his fellow• passengers were seve.a young men, poor and despised like himself, but who, so like himself, have since in their several vocations risento the pinnacle of fortune and fame. One warm evening, s the vessel neared the coast of Africa, Felicien David was paring the deck in close conversation with the second mate of he Clorinde, an athletic, bold-looking, and v, ithal modestand thoughtful young man, who bad sought the acquaintance of these French dreamers, and informed them that he W 8 an Italian patriot ; something of a Carbonaro, but for the moment the course of events had weaned him from poli tics. " What is that ?" suddenly exclaimed the cote: poser, at the same time pointing out to the sharper eyes of his sailor companion a black spot floating at a considerablee distance from the ship, "That is a turtle, and one of th ous largest kind. The English say they make fam aeup. Th e y are ver y scarce hereabouts. What can that one be doi ng so f ar f rom the coast? There, look how it springs out of the water to breathe I " We got no turtle soup at Menilmontaut." said Felicien David, with a sig h (thinking of the short commons of the St. Simonian Club), " and I should not be sorry to know what it is like. 11°/ 1 do they catch th a t fi e h ?

" °}ll by no means. You might as well have your leg or your arm between two Sheffield razors as within a turtlea beak." "Oh dear I Well, but about the third way of catching them." " I will show it you," quietly replied the second mate of the Clorinde , and at th e w ord he p lupged into the sea, accoutred as he was. A few minutes after wards he re-appeared upon deck, streaming like a fountain, somewhat bloody, but holding his prey in his hands— shall have your turtle soup," he said to Felicien David' "What rashness I" said the latter. "Oh 1" said the officer of the Clorinde, shrugging his shoulders, "a little sooner, a little later—what matters"—and he went to his cabin to change his clothes. I forgot to mention that the name of the second mate of the Clorinde was Josep h Garibaldi. --- The accounts received from the manufacturing districts of France state that trade is improving. Large orders have been received at Lille, and great activity 15 observed among the manufacturing and commercial classes in that town. The Lyons manufacturers are likewise prosperous.

We have to report an extraordinary demand for cotton to -day. The trade, exporters, and speculators are operating largely , deterred only by the very limited choice offered, Never theless sales exceed 30,000 bales, one-third of it for the trade. American, Brazil, and Egyptian have advanced id. and Surats fully id. per lb. above the quotations currel last Saturday, the market closing with a further decided upward tendency. DEATH ON HORSEBACK.---Captain Shepherd, the associate of Captain Scoreeby in his voyages to Greenland , died on horseback a day or two ago. Deceased was a native of Appleton-le-Moore, to which place he retired a few years ago, and built a mansion, church, schools, &c., his main object being the welfare of the villagers of his native place. He went out for a ride, but quickly returned, and, when before the house in which he was born, fell dead from his horse. The remains are to be interred in the yard adjoining the old monastery of Lastingham on Monday. BLOWN INTO THE SEA.—On Tuesday, as ,a lady was walking down the lower steps of the jetty at Margate, the wind, which was blowing almost a gale at the time, caught under her crinoline, and she fell over into the eel" In falling, it is supposed her head came in contact with one of the boats, as she received a severe cut over the eye.

THE ALLEGED DESTRUCTION OF SHIPS.--Thos - Jamieson, a ship captain, was brought before Mr. Raffles, at Liverpool, yesterday, on remand, charged with having sent a threatening letter to Mr. G. Ruxton. The prisoner had sent a letter to the prosecutor stating that if he did not obtain a settlement with him he (the prisoner) would ex pose their "joint villany" in having caused the destruction of a ship named the Roscoe in March, 1857. For the de fence Mr. Pemberton entered into a cross-examination of Mr. Ruxton, with a view of showing that Jamieson's aver ments were true, and that he was justified in sending the letter. After this course had been pursued for some time, Mr. H. Forshaw, who appeared for Mr. Ruxton, objected to its being carried further, as it was no answer to the charge, which was for having sent a threatening letter with a view to obtain money. It was no answer to that charge to accuse Mr. Ruxton of anything; but if a charge of any kind were to be preferred against his client he was prepared to go into it, and to afford every facility for its investiga tion. Mr. Raffles concurred in the view expressed by Mr. Forshaw, and committed the prisoner for trial at the assizes. Mr. Forshaw then complained that Mr. Pember ton had made averments injurious to his client on the pre vious hearing, and had then stated that he would be prepared to prove those statements. In that he had most signally failed. He had not even offered to prove them. He (Mr. Forshaw) had now to state that 'hose assertions were utterly and entirely untrue, and on the part of Mr. Ruxton to state that if any charges were made against him he should be ready to meet it, and to afford every facility for investigation. The proceedings then terminated. -- Liverpool .Albion. BRIGANDAGE IN SOUTHERN ITALY.—The Patric; of Naples tells the following painful story of brigand vio lence :—"A few days ago a few brigands scoured the count* . in the neighbourhood of Rotundella, in the province of Basilicata, carrying off with them. from different places ft• communal councillor, a rich landholder, an ex-gendarme of the Bourbon Government, two joiners, and 11 women, in cluding three young girls. They took them all into the wood of Policoro, crossing the Sinna-stream. They then committed outrages upon the women, the cries of their victims only exciting their ferocity more than ever; se that one of them, named Mariangela Montessomo, received 14 wounds with a stiletto in consequence of her resistance. The brigands then let their prisoner go, except two, whom they tortured for two days ire the most barbarous manner, and then set at liberty, after exacting enormous ransoms. In the province of Capitanata a party of brigands surrounded a farm belonging to the brothers Martuscelli, and ordered them to give up their arms and amunition. Upon their refusal the miscreants collected all the cattle in an open space and shot them down, thus causing damage to the amount of 12,000 f. In the neighbourhood of Bisaccia the brigands set fire to several farms and killed ten persons, only desisting and taking to flight on seeing a party of troops arrive. Near Campobosso 13 brigands pillaged the house of a peasant named Picco, whose son they carried away, whom they only released on payment of 100 ducats- The brigands, under Chiavone, who infest the district of Avellio, a few days ago shot a woman aged 50, on sus- Melon of her having informed against them. The Neapoli tan papers are loud in their complaints of the negligence of the authorities in taking effective measures against the brigands. A REBEL SPY.—The notorious female spy, Belle Boyd, familiarly known as the betrayer of our forces at Front Royal, whereby the gallant command of Colonel Finley was slaughtered and captured, was arrested at Winchester on Wednesday last, and is now confined in the Old Capitol Prison. Romances have given this woman undue repute, by describing her as beautiful and educated. She is merely a brusque, talkative woman, perhaps 25 years of age, red haired, with keen, courageous gray eyes. Her teeth are prominent, and she is meagre in person. There is a certain dash and naivete in her manner and speech that might be called fascinating, but she is by no means pos sessed of brilliant qualities, either of mind or body. Being insanely devoted to the rebel cause she reeolved to act as a Belle head. bas r ts yo t un ha g t spy within the Union lines, and managed in divers ways One of the Generals to recommend herself to our officers. formerly stationed in the Shenandoah Valley is mentioned sheratheroddlyce wrapped e associatedflagw i way of our movements kh aroundo f h h o e and s ro h c a i t . s m r i p d s i g n often,thShen andoah. hffiec was ers, frequentlydazzled, habitant e ti n th. and projects, From facts g she kept up a prettyregular budget of intel ligence, and the enemy was . advised of our favourite designs.

She talked with them at random, and with much abandon, and said that she intended to be paroled. A soldier guards her room, and paces continually up and down before the door. Her own admission will convict her of being a spy. She was dressed to-day in a plain frock, low in the neck, and her arms were bare.
