LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1862, Vigorous though the course is now being pursued by the Turin Government with a view to the sup pression of the GARIBALDI movement in Southern Italy, the plans of the Government towards that end appear to be still somewhat confused. It now seems that General CIALDINI having been appointed, with a flourish of trumpets, Extraordinary Commissioner in Sicily, is not to remain in Sicily after all, but is to advance into Calabria. The intention evidently being in this manner to place GARIBALDI and his followers between two great gatherings of the Royal forces—one headed by General CIALDINI, the other by General DELLA MARMORA. The vacated post of CIALDINI in Sicily being con fided to the vigour and discretion of that very able and resolute officer, General BRIG NONE. So that already the Sicilians have seen as many as four representatives of the KING in succession entrusted with the supreme command in that island since the insurrectionary flag was first unfurled by the ex-Dictator at Corleone. PALLA TICINI having given place to CUGIA—CUGIA to CIALDINI—and CIALDINI now to BRIGNONE. It is true that CIALDINI was still at Messina with General PINELLI when our last advices left. But his recrossing the Straits into Calabria was re garded even then as a proceeding definitively arranged—as definitively arranged as the General's replacement in Sicily by BRIGNONE. Whithersover GARRIBALDI goes, there the in terest concentrates. First of all it was to Cor leone that all eyes were turned with eager curio sity. Then it was, a little later on, that the same might have been said of Caltanisetta. Scarcely a week since—it was Catania. As re cently as only yesterday the " cynosure" of more t han merely " neighbouring eyes" we all know ° gm Melito, upon the southern coast of Calabria. To -d a y i t is towards Reggio that we are all looking. For it was to Reggio—the last telegram tells us--that GARIBALDI was advancing. Having collected together as many as 1,300 of his red sh ir ted Volunteer s at Melito, the Leader of the Rebellion had left Melito and was advancing, as we have said, toward. Reggio. This—after having issued to his followers . on t he 25th instant, that is on Monday, a proclamation, in which he promised in a few d a y's time to conduct them in triumph into Naples ! According to th e Ministerial jour nabs at Turin, the Royalist General REVEL had already entered Reggio with a body of the K ING'S troops. But how far the loyalty of tho se troops could be relied upon if suddenly brought , 'ace to face with GARIBALDI and his red-shirte, elay h e doubtful. Particularly remembering that de fection at Aderno of half a hundred " officers" when n o t i n th e actual presenc p of GARIBALDI—these " o ffi cers " i n the KING'S e army preferring to ling up their commissions, to tear off their epaulettes rather than sully their honour and stain their swords by fighting against the Liberator of the Two Sicilies ! REVEL'S troops at Reggio, moreover, would doubtless not be un aware of, or indifferent to, the fact that crowds of Garibzddians were already collected there, a little further to the north, merely some fifteen or sixteen mites to the north, in the town of Gioja ; while, in the Gulf of Gioja, vessel after vessel was rapidly making its appearance, bringing recruits from all parts of Italy to GARIBALDI'S rallying ground in Calabria. Energetic though the language of General bELLA MARMORA in the proclamation recently put forthby him in his announcement of the State of siege throughout the Neapolitan Provinces, and his own appointment as the KING'S Commissioner Extra ordinary —we still rest confident as we have done from the very firet, that one and all of them—DELLA MARMORA, CIALBINI, PINELLI, PERSANO, Minister 1 the KI NG ' S Horse and Foot, and General alike Artillery and Engineers, w i ll pause before daring to touch the person of General GARIBALDI ! Mad, w ild, impossible though the enter prize upon which the Hero has so rashly adventured—he himself bears through all the turmoil of the civil war he has originated, a " charmed life," passing freely from place to place at his own will and pleasure, without let or hin drance. MENOTTI GARIBALDI, the General's son, may be driven back, as he is reported to have been driven back eight or ten days since, along the road leading to Paterno until he and his followers h a d ag ain taken shelter within the barricaded streets of Catania. When Catania is eventually e ntered by the Royal forces, eight hundred Gari baldian Volunteers may be there, as they were very recently, taken prisoners in a body. But GA RIBALDI himself, in the meantime, moves hither and thither scatheless, untouched, with not a finger raised against him in serious opposition. Such is the prestige of his name—such is the glamour exercised by the mere sight of his lion-face, the glance of his dauntless eye, the sound of his ear nest voice—that it would not be extravagant to look for incidents in his present march onward from Melito, to meet successive instalments of the Royal army sent out against him by order of the reigning Sovereign—incidents kindred to those which marked the advance, in 1815, of NAPOLEON the GREAT, in his wonderful march from Cannes to Grenoble. Again we repeat, what we exclaimed upon the instant the anti-Garibaldian policy of the Government at Turin became known for an actual certainty—Woe to any Italian hand that might dare to fire a bullet at the beast of GARIBALDI. It will be the hand not of: a fratricide, but of a parricide ! Let but the fatal blow descend upon that life rendered sacred by the love and homage of a whole people, let but that fatal blow come from among the ranks of the KING'S army— and adieu! to the new-born sovereignty of VICTOR EMMANUEL 11. It is the knowledge of this, joined to the magical influence of the Hero's own vf°° - drous reputation—that surrounds GARIBALDI, as in a wizard-ring, within the circumference ;of which not one armed or unarmed emissary of RAT TAZZI'S Government has yet ventured to penetrate. Here lies the secret of GARIBALtifs strength—and, alas that we should have to add this now, his lamentable capacity f o r doing such direful mischief. According to the latest Telegram (bringing us news from Naples up to late last ev en i ng ), we h ear that two s light conflicts had already taken place on the road between Melito and Reggio—between the advanced guard of GARIBALDI and a corps of the Royal troops, sent out from Reggio by General R E VEL for the purpose of reconnoitring. The ear lier of these two slight collisions between the KING'S soldiers and those of GARIBALDI, occurred on the 26th, that is on Tuesday the second conflict or skirmish taking place the day afterwards, that is yesterday. Although forty-two Gari baldians were then taken prisoners, among them Major MARIGHI and some of his compa nions, it is manifest enough how little in earnest the combatants in this civil war are, even when their swords are crossed. Not one man on either side, happily, is reported as killed ! Three of the royal troopers, indeed, are described as wounded, and the same is said vaguely in regard to" several" of the Garibaldians. Otherwise, the fight both on the 26th and on the 27th was a sample of civil war —speaking literally. While the flame of the Garibaldian rising con- tinues thus to flicker fitfully here and there throughout Calabria—all the rest of Italy, Austria, France—yield evidence simultaneously of feeling the influence of this electric movement. The Royal Army is sweeping as rapidly as may be southwards, battalion after battalion hastening to swell the forces under the command here of LA MARMORA, here of CIALDINI. Austria, as we inti mated yesterday, meditates calling out 40,000 additional men. France—meaning, of course, the Emperor NAroLrozr—is promptly getting ready ts corps d'armee 40,000 strong, capable of being marched at a moment's notice upon Central Italy under the command of General NIEL, or, it is even reported as probable, of Marshal M‘MAiloN, the Duke of MAGENTA ! There is a rumour actually afloat that Gaeta has been already occupied by the French ! Certain it is that the squadron of evolu tion under Admiral RIGAULT DE GENOIIILLT has hastily left Ajaccio, in Corsica, and gone—no one knows whither ! It might be, of course, that Gaeta had been marked out by the EMPEROR as the Admiral's destination ! Or—for there are these sinister rumours flitting about— it might even be that , France has an eye to the occupation of Naples. Hardly can it be wondered at that upon the Paris Bourse yesterday the Rentes closed at 68f., being 60c. lower than on the day previous—that the 5 per Cent. Italian loan had fallen 11 per cent.—that a fall of no inconsiderable kind had taken place in the price of almost all securities. Events of more importance, events in every way of a more momentous character than any that have recently occurred are now, we may feel perfectly well assured—very imminent! " Havoc" has unmistakeably been cried by the resolute voice of GARIBALDI in Calabria. " The Dogs of 'Yar" may be " let slip" now, any day, both by sea and by land at the mandate of NAPOLEON. " Splendid weather for the harvest"—continues to be the statement from all parts of the country. We know that it has been so in the neighbourhood of London, and the threatening fall of the baro meter the first few days of the week has been fol lowed by no visible change of weather—it is now rising again, and we hope will long continue suf ficiently steady. New wheat is making its appear ance at all the principal markets, and both quality and quantity begin to look better than was at first expected. For all this we are dependent, however, on the sky, or on those laws which tLe Creator of all that passes under that name has given it. For the equally important part of using aright what " the rains from Heaven and fruitful seasons" pro vide us, we are dependent on our own skill and industry. We adverted to this part of the case on Tuesday, having been induced to do so by the re port of N e l t r : y : TEMEN HE ERE. We return to it, because the report induced us to visit Dr. DAUGLISII'S naan efao at Islington-green, that we might see for ourselves and we have not been disappointed, nor do We thiuk any Intelligent visitor can be. Pub lic inspection i s welcom e d ; we found the inventor a e n w de t very mechanical question, and sceptical chemical questions numerous uiimtrahseewrlofhutishe somewhat ha e h we came armed, were answered to our perfectwhotisac may 10. We Can recommend our a readers,to B ee for themselves, t o pa y a visit to Islington - gr een Bake ry, which we h ave sf :ish little doubt they will leave as welt pleased as our selves. Nor will they be less so if they, too, have been accustomed to domestic broad making. c, Nothing can be more agreeable than the aspect presented by the manufactory. It is o il the ground floor; everything clean and pleasant ; th e neighbourhood of the oven, about the temperature of our kitchens when performing cooking opera tions, but nothing to suggest that the journey" man bakers employed there might not attain as "green an old age" as persons employed in any other manufacture—for manufacture, in the cur rent sense of the word, the making of bread really is, DAUGLISH. We mean that by the process of Dr. sense of it by which, in defiance of etymology ii's is now applied, almost exclusively, to things THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY rIEVENING, AUGUST 28, 1862. not made by hand. One of the first things you perceive is that the workman's hand never touches the bread. The flour is shot from the sack byshire. into the large globe where it is mechanically made into dough, from thence it is forced by the pressure of the condensed air within ; it is received into moulds, as it slowly issues forth, cut off when the mould is filled, and the exact weight requisite adjusted with a suitable knife and fork. It is then ready for the oven, and from beginning to end the possibility of anything unpleasant is abso lutely precluded. Were the workmen not neat in their habits, they must put themselves out of the way to soil, or in any way pollute the bread ; and as to cobwebs, dust, or beetles, if there, it is hard to see how they could get into it. This alone is worth something, worth a great deal too, if our readers' stomachs are at all like our own ; nor NN ill we suppose them indifferent to the life and health of those who manufacture their food—but the process must be a food-saving one. We must not suppose, we fear, that the majority of readers have even an elementary knowledge of chemistry, but they will all understand that the lightness of bread is entirely due to air bubbles. To produce these with certainty and without deteriorating the flour, or introducing undesirable compounds into the bread, is the object. Most baking powders, for instance, do the latter. To generate air within the dough with which they are mixed, carbonates are decomposed, leaving some neutral salt which we were of befettremrenwtaittihoo. Thecommon n ut by yeastor po leavren, cwelassiecsh are substantially the same, also generate carbonic acid gas, but they do so by a partial destruction—indeed, corruption of the flour. They thus create a real impurity. So well was this known to even early antiquity, that leaven was the symbol of impurity, and is regarded as such by the Jews to this day. Every one is familiar with the smell of fermented bread long kept in closed vessels, which is entirely due to the cor ruption of the particles of flour in fermentation. The aerated bread which we have kept several days is, however, as sweet to the smell as on the day it came from the oven. This is due to the bubbles of carbonic acid gas, generated in the bread by the other processes, being by that of Dr. DAUGLISH mechanically forced into it. The dough is made mechanically in the large globe, with water impregnated strongly with the gas, and under a very heavy pressure of the gas itself within the globe. Kneaded under these conditions the gas permeates every part, and when the doughls ex truded from the globe by the pressure of the gas, and the bread has been baked, a loaf is produced of unsurpassable and equable lightness. But the great merit is, that the lightness has not been purchased either by introducing any unde sirable " drug," as it would be called, into the bread, or by injuring the nutritive quality of a great part of the flour. The mechanical arrangements which were minutely explained to us, are very ingenious. They have been simplified already, but the tendency of all inventions is to simplification, and though not complex now, we should not be surprised to see them, in time, become simplicity itself. Two things they unquestionably effect—they aerate our bread without injuring it—and they place it in the oven without soiling it. All that we have seen does but confirm our opi nion, that Dr. DAUGLISH has succeeded in an ob ject of nationai utility. There is, we think, every reason to believe that he has made his invention corn nzercially valuable, as well as theoretically perfect. We understand that experience so far establishes this point, and it is difficult to see how it should be otherwise. The expenses for everythiug—for work man's time especially, also for fuel, and of aeration by mechanical means, as compared with aeration by yeast—are all reduced. Of course there is the ex pense of the machinery; but the interest of the money expended on that can never approach the cost of the workman's health - destroying labour under the old system. We do not know of a single fact which, to our minds, creates even a suspicion that, looked at in itself, the system will not prove even highly remunerative at the prices charged by other bakers. As to the quality of the bread and its acceptable ness to the public, every individual can easily judge for himself. Islington Green is in a part of the Metropolis sufficiently accessible. Speaking from actual trial, we cannot conceive how any one who can easily procure it, would submit to use again the ordinary baker's bread. A correspondent in a contemporary, G. A. M., points out indeed that the English taste for bread has been perverted, and requires education. This is true, no doubt, to a large extent; but Dr. DAUGLISH is able without difficulty, and without serious injury to his loaf, to produce those flavours which habit has taught many to prefer in bread. This however, is hardly to be recommended. When persons understand that they have more nutriment for their money, when the whiteness is beautiful, and the taste such as we should think the great majority must prefer, and when it will keep for days we know, for how much longer we cannot tell, as sweet and pleasant as at first—it is impossible that the demand should not become very extensive. To the really labouring man the question is a serious one. His muscular strength is his source of livelihood, and his strength depends on the nutriment it receives. Dr. LETHEBY has well pointed out the enormous and cruel frauds practised on the working man's strength by the deterioration of his flour and his bread. Dr. DAUGLISH unquestion ably gives him all the nutriment his flour contains. We are informed that so practical is this result, that working men, after their families have lived on the bread a short time, and overcome the first induce ment to eat largely of a new and pleasant article of foed, actually have used one loaf less in five or six, finding themselves equally satisfied, and nourished, by the smaller quantity of so much higher quality. We have never had more pleasure in calling public attention to what we think a truly valuable invention.

MARRIAGE OF VISCOUNT HoLmEsDALt, Yesterday the marriage cf Viscount Holmesdale, M.P., eldest son of the Earl Amherst, and Lady Julia Mann Cornwallis, only child of James, fifth Earl Cornwallis, and heiress of Linton-place, was celebrated at the village of Linton, near Maidstone. A large circle of the relatives and friends of both families were present, among whom were the Earl and Countess Amherst and Ladies Amherst, Lord Hotham, M.P., the Earl of Brecknock and Lady Augusta Pratt, Lady Sarah Williams ana Miss Hay Williams, Hon. Mr. and Lady Mary Egerton, Captain the Hon. Windsor Olive, &c. The park entrances and church porch were gaily decorated with flags and evergreens, and a crowd from the neighbourhood had assembled in the village. The marriage service was read by the Rev. Thomas Gamier Carter, the vicar. The bride was given away by Mr. C. Wykeham Martin, her guardian. Captain the Hon. George H. IVindor Clive, M.P , acted as Viscount Holmesdale's best man. The newly-married couple left for Montreal, the Earl Amherst's scat, near Sevenoaks, to pass the honeymoon. ADMIRAL FITZROY ANTICIPATED.—A singular fact on the subject of electricity is mentioned by Bian chini. There had existed from time immemorial in one of the bastions of the Castle of Cuino, situated in the Frione, on the banks of the Adriatic, a pointed iron rod, standing in a vertical position. In summer, when the weather had the appearance of being stormy, the soldier who mounted guard in this bastion examined the iron rod, and presented to it the point of an iron halbert, which was always ready for this purpose, and whenever he perceived that the iron rod gave sparks, or displayed a 3mall gerb of fire at its point, he rang a tell, to give notice t) the country people who were work ing in the fields, or to the fishermen who were at sea, that stormy weather was Lpproaching. This custom was of great antiquity, and is mentioned by Imperati, in a letter dated 1602. THE SUCCESSION TAX.—The Inland Revenue returns do not state the amount of the succession tax, but they show that in 185:1, the year before it was imposed, the legacy duty produced $1,380,335, and last year the legacy duty and succession tax together produced £2,277,724, be ing 65 per cent. more than the legacy duty of 1852. But part of this is due to the natural increase of the produce of the legacy duty. The probate and administration duty, which was £1,419,166 last year, has increased £283,854 since 1852. The remains of the Republican General Pichegru, who committed suicide in the prison of the temple in 1804, and was buried in the cemetery at Clamart, then appropri- ated to the interment of executed criminals, have this week been exhumed, at the instance of one of his relatives, and conveyed to the burial-place of his family, at Arbois (Jura). Although buried without a coffin, and merely wrapped in a shroud of coarse canvas, the skeleton was well preserved, and the hair, which was platted in three long tresses—the military coiffure of the day, still retained its colour, and adhered to the skull. LITERPOOL COTTON MtRKET, Aug. 27.—The cotton market has been extrenely excited to day, and the sales reach fully 30,000 bales, 25,000 on speculation and for export. Prices of American, Brazil, and Egyptian are ld. to 11d. per lb., and Suratsid. to ld. per lb. higher than yesterday's rates. BRISTOL SUGAR MAEKET, Aug. 27.—With a very small supply of West India sugars offering the sales are necessarily small, but the quantity sold very full prices have been paid. A considerable business has been done in floating cargoes of foreign sugars at somewhat higher rates. .Rum--Nothin; doing. A SCOTCH VISIT TO THE INTERNATIONAL EXHI BITION.—Last week a Scotchnan resident in Liverpool paid a visit to the Great Exhibition. His trip is worthy of re cord, seeing that it surpasses anything of the kind we ever remember on the score of ch3apness, Our Scotch excur sionist left Liverpool on Monday night, at a quarter-past 11 o'clock, reaching the metropolis at 6 on the following morn ing. After a walk of 10 miles, during which the traveller inspected Regent's Park and some of the other places of interest, he visited the Exhibition. He remained four hours in the Exhibition, and on leaving at a quarter-past 4 in the afternoon, proceeded direct to the railway station, starting at 5 upon his journey to Liverpool, where he arrived at 11 the same night. All he spelt in London was one shilling, being the admission to the Exhibition, and three draughts of water constituted his only refreshment during the day. His recollection of the Exhilition appears to have been somewhat imperfect, for he could only tell his friends one thing he had seen, and that was the milking machine. Whether the trip of the Scottish excursionist was plea surable or otherwise, it is certainly noticeable as having been conducted with unparalleled economy..—Liverpool Mercury. A NOVELTY IN THE NEW WORLD.—We have been accustomed in America to our satires about English taxation, but a walk up 3roadway reminds us that we are now quite as much taxed as our "down trodden" cousins in Europe. A tax gatherer's promenade in Broadway is by no means unsuggestive. Leaving Bowling-green, he sees seve ral taxed hotels which pay licences of at least 100 dole. The bonded warehouse, a few steps further, reminds us that 50c. duty is paid for the entry int. or withdrawal therefrom of any goods. The splendid stores of the wholesale dealers are each worth 50 dole. a-year to Uncle Sam. Every clerk stand ing in the doorway of these stores must pay 3 per cent, of his income ever 600 dols. At the express office you observe that for every receipt for goods to be transmitted there is a charge of from lc. to sc. That portly stockbroker turning out of Wall-street is worth 50 dols, a year to his Govern ment in licences, while that carriage and horse driving up near the corner represent another 4 dols. As he goes past the nest of lawyers at Trinity-buildings it is a satisfaction to the tax gatherer to know that each of them has to pay a licence of 10 dols. lie glances into the auctioneers' stores, and complacently remembers that every one must contri bute 10 dole. to the Government, the druggist, where ho stops for soda water, has to pay his share, and on the eat ing-house where he tikes a nibble there is a similar claim. If he passes a newspaper office he reflects that for every ad vertisement the propietor pays 3 per cent. on the gross receipts. Every physician whose little tin sign ho may see on his route, must disgorge 10 dole. The cigars smoked along the. streets are taxed accordingly to their value. If it rains and he puts ur an umbrella, he need not pay for the privilege unless it is a silk umbrella, in which case he must pay 5 per cert. of its value ; consequently, cotton umbrellas will be in active demand. The theatres, whole sale and retail stores, and the incomes derived from every building on your Broadway route are taxed. People's clothes and what they eat are taxed. The glass they look through and the gas they see by are taxed. If we wish to slaughter hogs and sheep for our own consumption, Uncle Sam permits us to ban; ourselves for nothing, as hemp is taxed 3 per cent• If ve wish to leave the city and go to New Jersey, we can 'Io so freely; but if we prefer other climes, and think of Europe, we must pay 3 dole, for the passport and a dollar tax for the privilege of buying a pas sage ticket.—. New Yore Evening Post. THE DARK COURT IN THE GREAT EXHIBITION.— What a mystical and becoming light is over all the objects contained in that court: It is dark, not because the light cannot get to that part of the building, but because the light has been wilfully shut out—just as the designs are quaint and uncouth, not became the designer could not make them otherwise, but because he wilfully drew a curtain over his brains. The white neckcloths and the spectacles gleam in that obscure court, like meteors. They were better out of it. It is not helping the ecclesiastical cause to ally it with darkness and with obsolete modes of expression, as if it had no part with the age, and as if modern light and modern knowledge and modern ways of thought must be banished before Church matters can be discussed at all. This is the loose screw here. Many of the designs are pretty and elegant, but they are all tainted with affectation and dilettanteism—bad things to mix up with anything, but very very bad things to mix up with religion. How tired one gets of the altar-cloths and fald-stools, the trefoils and fleurs-de-lis, and all the rest of this church up holstery ! What a thing to have opinions which cannot be held comfortably unless their proprietorhas a sofa to match. Such a sofa as that in one of the corners of this court, straight and angular, and stuffed, possibly, with discarded 1 horse-hair shit ts. It is pleasant, by the way, to observe that mediaeval tendencies are not inconsistent with an ap preciation of the creature comforts ; for, hard by this same angular sofa, with decorations looking like bars of music, are a couple of uncompromising spirit-stands, with bottles of very comfortable dimensions duly labelled. It almost re conciles one to this absurd court, to see gleaming in the corner among all sorts of strange and uncouth matters, the prosaic word " Bura."—Dteke22s's "AN the Year Round." CRICKET. — SUItREY V. ALL ENGLAND.—Yester day morning this match was resumed on the Surrey Ground, Kennington-oval. The difference of the previous evening was left as a "bygone," and the Surrey eleven con tinued their innings, G. Street taking the place of John Lillywhite as umpire. Mr. Burbidge and Mortlock were the "not outs," and went on with their innings. Mr. Burbidge marked 20 when he was " c. and b. Willsher." who started bowling with Mr. V. E. Walker. In Mr. Bur bidge's 20 were a four, a three, and two twos ; two wickets and 41 rues. Caffyn came next, and scored 23, including a five (drive), three fours, and a three ; " 0. b. Walisher" again ; three wickets and 67 runs. Jackson took the ball from Mr. V. E. Walker, and the next stand was made by Griffith, who scored 11, The fourth wicket fell for 67, fifth for 74, sixth for 75, seventh and eighth for 92, ninth and tenth for 102-401 in a minority. Surrey, according to "cricket law" was of course put in against the runs that were to be rubbed off—that Is, they soon after went In for their second innings. There was no chance for Surrey winning the match by rues, but they were determined not to lose it by time, and the defence made was admirable, till the drawing UP the stumps. ii Time" was called at half. past 6, and this extraordinary match, which will long be re membered in the annals of cricket, was left drawn, Surrey having six wickets down for 154. Throughout the match the cricket WAPerfeCtiOLl on both sides,but Surrey, although strong enough to play most county competitors—and they extraordinary matches sometimes, and Sometimes Witt lm_iu this here over-matched, play c t e ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA. "DINORAII," The commencement of a season is often like that of a battle, in which the force on one side, has gradually to deploy into position before the attack can begin. The opening nights of our National Opera seem to sustain this analogy. There were three several movements necessary to bring on the ground, the various "contingents," so to speak, which form this powerful company. We need not carry the image further than to add that the good generalship so long displayed by the management is a sufficient guarantee of the way their force will be " handled" and their victory won. We have duly chronicled the good impression produced by their opening performance. Nothing could bo wiser than its presentment of the crowning success of the past season, which was so certain to be received as a tolerable pledge of that of the present. The "Lilly of Killarney" brought before us Miss Pyne in a character highly adapted to exhibit some of those qualities of mind and voice, which, it is perfectly needless to say, she enjoys without rivalry. It is the great distinction of this lady that she can assume with equal ease the directly opposite traits of a peasant or princess. She can display all the naturalness and frankness of the one, and the thoroughly graceful refinement and dignity of the other. We have often seen in our time this combination attempted ; but we can remember no other instance in which we have known it so realised. And in harmony with this dramatic is her vocal capacity, which ranges from the truest utterance of the simplest and tenderest ballad to the most perfect expression of the most brilliant bravura. Even in a purely physical re spect she can claim a distinction, for we have had no voice in our time which has combined in the same degree the ordinarily opposite qualities of flexibility and sweetness. Eily O'Connor brings into play just one half of her powers—the simple, trustful, tender girl—the true young Irish peasant—whose whole being, like her climate, seems made up of sunshine and moisture, could find no where an exponent more expressive than herself, in her power to mingle smiles and tears, whether in look or in utterance. Thus her acting and singing were equally perfect. Quite as much praise extends to the peasant Miles, of Mr. Harrison, which testifies not more to the usual range of his conceptions, than to their vigour and truth. In a dramatic respect it is an effort almost unique, for it not only gives us all the humour and simple ease of an Irishman, but mingles with them his tenderness—a quality in which its actors are usually sadly deficient—not omitting, we are compelled to say, the renowned Mr. Boucicault —and his • vocal claims in this character are on a par with his dramatic. " The Lilly of Killarney" also gives us again Mr. Santley—whose recent and striking development, both in singing and acting, has been a gratification to the public equally sincere and surprising. In the rugged ardour of Danny Mann, with its mingled devotion and re morse, Mr. Santley displayed an excellence that could scarcely be surpassed. The " Rose of Castille," on Tuesday evening, further deployed the strength of the company. Here we had Miss Payne in her opposite phase of the youthful Queen, refined and dignified, in union with her happy assumption of the mirthful Spanish peasant. Here we had Mr. Harrison in one of his manliest and most genial impersonations—his noble Muleteer—here we had Mr. Weiss in his original character, after an absence "of four seasons— who returns to complete the company, with the finest bass the stage possesses—and here we had Mr. Rouse instead of Mr. Honey, a very good comedian whose vocal merit, we believe, will prove to be on a par with his dramatic. The execution of this plea sant opera, one of Mr. Balfe's chef d' ouvres, had all the freshness of its first performance. Miss Pyne's brilliancy was as great as ever, and just as strik ingly contrasted with the exquisite simplicity and tenderness of her delightful " Convent Cell." Mr, Harrison delivered his muleteer song with all his accustomed vigour ; whilst Mr. Weiss poured into his principal ballad—" The Future darkly o'er me frowns"—a depth of feeling which procured for it a very genuine encore. His noble voice and artistic spirit were never heard to more advantage. A Mr. and Mrs. Aynsley Cook were also successful additions—in the elitattuter of the Innkeeper and the Duchess. Last evening the opera of " Dinorah" completed the array of the company's forces. Mr. Santley in resuming Hoel gave still more decisive evidence of the substantial ripening of his powers. Whilst his acting may now be placed on a direct level with Mots. Faure's, his singing—thanks to his superior voice —if not his superior taste and feeling, is even more acceptable. His great aria in the first act and the exquisite solo of the last—the burst of remorse and passion over the lifeless form of Dinorah—presented evidences upon this point that were not to be dis puted. Mr. Harrison resumed also his admirable assumption of Corentin, a piece of comedy so genuine in its mingled naturalness and humour, that it could not fail: to be attractive if wholly di vested of its music. The two novelti es o f th e perfor mance lay in the Dinorah and the young Goatherd. Madlle. Parepa, whose return to the company with an improvement in some respects almost as marked as Mr. Santley's, is an addition to ice strength that will be generally acknowledged— scarcely attempted, as it seemed, to develop the dramatic aspect of the demented Breton maiden, and so of course escaped comparison with her other and illustrious rivals; but into its music she threw all her force, and it is but justice to her to say that her clear, pliant, and certain voice combined with her admirable delivery, won a success for her which was as marked as it was in every way deserved. Her Shadow Song, especially, had a freshness and facility that well entitled it to the encore which she so engagingly complied with. Almost as great a success, however, was that of Madame Laura Baxter, in the minor character of the young goatherd—to which is allotted but one aria, the charming canzonetta " Fanciulle the it core," but which Madame Baxter, despite her nervousness, delivered with such taste and spirit, and such a superb display of power, as to obtain also a load encore, which she complied with in a manner that still more strongly warranted the honour. With her amount of gift and culture, her Loble voice and her musical knowledge, Made. Baxtcr ought to supply that desideratum on our lyric stage, which has lasted since the days of Mrs. Alfred Shaw—a true dramatic contralto. Of the merits of the band under the direction of Mr. Mel lon—in all these performances we cmi have no occasion to enlarge. It forms, as we have already said, as great• a distinction of this house as does Mr. Costa's of Covent Garden, and can not be heard without a sense of pride that so much talent, so directed, has at length been brought into the service and interpretation of a national opera. The house we have only to add has been quit e f u ll on each occasion. DRAUGHTING IN THE STATES. --Among the lts of draughting many most interesting resu in the United States the most important to Canadians is the extraordinary exodus across the lines which it has produced. Our towns on the f ront i er, but inland, are and villages, not only crowded with motley groups of fugiti ves from the draught, who intend to remain among us till after the 15th, when it is supposed they nlaY return in saf e t y. So great has been the exodus that the Washington Government has been in duced to issue en absurd and t yrannical order, designed to Preven t the es cape from th e country of persons liable to be draughted. The order is impolitic as well as unjust, be cause, after all, the number of persons who can leave their occupations and reside in a foreign country, even for a short time, is not great, and it i s only the most craven-hearted, disloyal, and incapable, who are likely to have recourse to such an expedient. Moreover, the duty ef preventing their escape must be exceedingly difficult to perform upon so ex tensive a frontier as that between Canada and the United States. The spectacle of a cordon of officers stationed along the line to prevent the people of the United States from running away to avoid the performance of their public duty is surely one of the most ludicrous that can be conceived. iiad we no other evidence that Mr. Stanton is a man sin gularly wanting in sound judgment and common sense,:,we should dud ample proof in this order—Toronto Globe. Two young girls, minding sheep in the commune of Lagrauliere (Correze), who had sought shelter under a tree during a storm a few days back, were killed by light ning.

The Moniteur of this morning announces tLat the squadron of evolution has received orders to proceed to the Bay of Naples. 0... am. 4.••••• NAPLES, AUG. 27 (Evening). Yesterday a conflict took place between the Garibaldians and a reconnoitering corps of Royal troops, sent from Reggio. Another conflict occurred also to-day. Forty two Garibaldians were taken prisoners, among whom were Major Merighi and some other officers. Several Garibaldians were wounded. The Royal troops had three wounded. Deputies Mordini and Fabrizi, who arrived h ere yesterday, were arrested to-day. Caiachio, a Bourbon partisan, has also been arrested, TURIN, AUG. 27. The Monarchia Nationale of to-day publishes a despatch from Messina, dated the 26th instant, ac cording to which the Mazzinian party had endea voured to excite a demonstration in favour of Gari baldi in that city. With this end they posted up a proclamation during the night. The removal of the placards by the police caused the assemblage of a large number of persons, who were, however, immediately dispersed by the National Guard. The Minister Persano had addressed an extremely energetic letter to the Commandant-General at Messina, requesting him to keep the troops within their barracks, and ordering the adoption of severe measures to repress disorders. The Monarchia Nazzonale also says : " Garibaldi is at Melito with 1,300 rebels. A large number of troops and vessels have been sent to Reggio with orders to immediately seek out the rebels and thoroughly defeat them. The fleet cruising in the Straits will cut off their communica tions with Sicily." General Cialdini will proceed to Calabria. Gen. Brignone will replace him in Sicily. The island is tranquil. The Official (xazette of this evening announces that Garibaldi has left Melito and proceeded to wards Reggio. It states also that the news from the Neapolitan provinces is satisfactory, and that the state of siege has been generally well received by the people. ST. PETERSBURG, AUG. 27, EVENING. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day contains a circular note of Prince Gortschakoff, dated the 6th (18th of August) concerning the recognition of the Kingdom of Italy by Russia. Prince Gortschakoff says in this note : It is not only questions of right which are under consideration. It is monarchical principle and social order contending against revolutionary anarchy." The Prince then enumerates the guarantees given by King Victor Emmanuel, and adds : " Under these circumstances we have thought it our interest to maintain and fortify the Cabinet of Turin on the ground of social order, and not to re fuse our moral support to a Government chosen by the enlightened majority of a country towards which we entertain good will and sympathy." The Minister concludes by saying:— " The Emperor neither raises nor resolves the question of right." WARSAW, AUG. 27. To-day the Governor of Poland issued a procla mation, stating that the Government will suppress all insurrectionary attempts. The proclamation concludes an follovvo.— " Loyal Poles ! Trust in me, and we will jointly further the welfare of Poland. Thus will a happy era be opened for your beloved fatherland." COPENHAGEN, AUG. 27, EVENING. Yesterday the Prussian and Austrian replies to the Danish note of March 12 were remitted to M. von Hall. The Prussian note is very excessive in its de mands. It requests the abolition of the general con stitution, and the recognition of the right of the Provincial Assemblies of each State to vote the Budget. It further demands the abolition of the regulations respecting language in Schleswig, and a return to the State of things existing previous to 1848. The Austrian note is also exorbitant in its require ments, although less so than that of Prussia. BE GRADE, AUG. 26. The conferences on the Servian question have been broken off, the Porte having demanded that, before negotiating further the Servians should cease arming, and demolish the barricades erected by them at Belgrade. These demands have, however, been rejected by Servia. PLYMOUTH, AUG. 27. The Federal frigate Tuscarora left the harbour this evening, after having landed her Cowes pilot. She is said to be bound for Cadiz. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 28. The Royal Mail steamer Shannon, with the above mails, has arrived. She brings 121 passengers, 1,3"8,108 dols. in specie, and 1,178 packages of cargo. FRANCE. PARIS, AUG. 27, EVENING. La Presse publishes the following, under the head of "Latest Intelligence" :—" The Emperor is expected this evening (Wednesday), at half-past 5 o'clock, at the Palace of St. Cloud. Marshal MacMahon is with his Majesty, whom he will ac company to Biarritz." A despatch from Marseilles, dated the 25th inst., says :—" The Italian Government has freighted six steamers at Marseilles for the conveyance of troops to Sicily. Two of these steamers, L'lsere and l'Astrologie, have left for Genoa; the others, the Charles• Martel, l'Algerie, and the Atlas, leave to-day. A despatch from Toulon, under date of the 24th inst., says:—" The 95th Regiment of the Line and a Regiment of Chasseurs, which arrived yesterday, embarked this day for MexicD." La _France of to-day publishes a despatch stating that Garibaldi is marching on Reggio, and that in an order of the day, dated the 25th inst., he an nounced to the Volunteers that in a few days he would enter Naples with them. The Paris papers of this evening announce that the Emperor will arrive in Paris at 5 p.m. to-day with the Duke of Magenta, who wilt accompany his Majesty to Biarritz. An official notification appeared to-day to the effect that private telegrams will no longer be re ceived for th e Southern It a li an P r ovinces and Sicily. The telegraphic communication with Corfu and Malta remains open. The Algiers culars with respect to the produc tion of tobacco in papers give some in teresting parti. that colony. The crop of 1862 is estimated at 5,747,000 kilogrammes. T he increase in the cul ture of the plant during the last eighteen years has been immense. In 1844 it appears that there were only three tobacco planters, and their united Oaf - tations covered but 1 hectare 42 acres, or about 31 acres English. Ten years later there were wore than 2,000 planters, and 2,818 hectares were allotted to tobacco. In 1859 this had increased to 6,697 hectares, between the three provinces of Algiers, Oran, and Constantine. The French papers speak highly of the quality of this Atrican tobacco, and urge further extension of its growth as particularly desirable now that the usual sources, the Southern States of America, whence England derives by far the greater part of her enormous annual supply, are closed to commerce. It is said here that the attention of the English trade has been particularly attracted during the present London Exhibition to the Algerian tobacco there exhibited.

FIRE-ENGINES IN 7HE EXHIBITION. Messrs. Merryweather and Son, of Long-acre, are the principal manufacturers of English fire engines. They have not the advantage of a stand where their productions are grouped together; the several engines exhibited by them having been placed at the disposal of her Majesty's Commis sioners, are located in various eligible places for the purpose of protecting the building in case of fire. The most interesting part of their display is the steam fire-engine standing in the Cromwell-road entrance. This is the most powerful laud steam fire-engine hitherto constructed in this country. At the recent trial in Hyde-park it was remark able for its rapid generation of steam, with great range of engine-power from jets of various sizes. It is appropriately called the "Deluge." Another of their products is an elegant testimonial fire engine, presented by the inhabitants of Lambeth to Mr. F. Hodges. It is not only a fine piece of work to look at, but it is said to be the best work ing engine of the size ever built. They also ex hibit two of the London Brigade fire engines, each for 30 men. The Country Brigade fire engine, known, since 1851, as the " Paxton," is a similar engine, but of lighter build, for 20 men, fully equipped. These er gines are very generally employed by the metropolitan parishes, in provincial towns, and abroad. A medium sized fire-engine is a handy and useful machineler railway stations, manufactories, man sions, and general purposes. A similar machine is exhibited, in a copper cistern, for use in tropical climates. The ship's fire-engine, the " Prince of Wales," is held in great favour by the mercantile marine ; it is also much used for the protection of mansions, club-houses, &c. The " Farmer's Fire engine" and universal agricultural force-pump was specially commended by the jurors of the Exhibi tion in 1851, since which time it has been con siderably improved, and is almost the only machine of the kind suitable for farm use. The " Cabinet" fire-engine, originally made by the exhibitors for the protection of the picture-galleries at Arundel Castle, has been very largely employed for similar purposes, Messrs. Merryweather and Son also exhibit specimens of the improved hand-pumps, loatbcr and canvas buckets, leather, canvas, and india-rubber hose, hose-reels, helmets, belts, and hatchets, fire-cocks, &c. Many of these articles have been arranged so as to form a trophy, sur mounted with a crown formed of nose-pipes, which forms a very conspicuous object at the Cromwell road entrance. Near the entrance to the Horti cultural Society's garden, Messrs. Merry weather and Son exhibit an improved fire-escape, as used by the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, in London and Dublin, and in many provincial towns. CO7TON SUPPLY. A meeting was held at Manchester, yesterday, to receive a deputation from London of gentlemen interested in the formation of the Western Australian Cotton Company (Limited), to explain and to give information as to its posi tion and prospects. Mr. T. CLEGG was called on to preside, and said he did so with great pleasure because, having taken a part in endea vouring to procure cotton from Africa and the Mediterra nean, and especially from Afi ice, it had seemed to be thought he could see no other source of supply. The fact was he welcomed any attempt to get cotton, no matter where. He thought it was time every one should take part in the movement, and he thought any man of property who had £5OO to spare—or even £lOO or £so—would do well to in vest it in schemes of this kind, and as shares in this com pany were only £5 each he could well do that, even with more limited means. He could not say much, of his own knowledge, of Western Australia, but he would say that the cotton grown there, which he had seen, was the best cotton he had ever known (Hear, hear.) He held some in his hand, and his impression was that it was worth 3s. 6d. per lb. He had been engaged actively in promoting the growth of cotton for the last 12 years, and had had to dip his hand deep into his pocket. Still he had hopes that he should see his money back again, and perhaps with some interest. He was satisfied that he had helped to lay the foundation of a lasting cotton trade with the West Coast of Africa, having invested jointly with a friend about £7,000 in the enterprise. He had, besides, engaged in three schemes for procuring cotton from India, besides two others, and promised to join a cotton-procuring company. He did not say this in the way of boast, because he held it a matter of duty. lie thought it nonsense to say that, because men were cotton-spinners, they should not endeavour to promote the cultivation of cotton, especially if they did not wish to see their workpeople dependent upon charity. Mr. Ross MANGLES, a member of the Council of India, spoke of the deep sympathy of all class a throughout the country with the present sufferings of Lancashire, and de scribed at some length the suitability of the soil and climate of Western Australia for cotton-growing. It had also the advantage of being near two great labour markets—those of India and China ; it being only 12 days distant from Ceylon by steam, 10 from Singapore, and 21 from China. He pointed to the great good that had been done in rescu ing the Mauritius from poverty by coolie labour, and said that the coolies returning thence to India often had been found to have amassed considerable savings. All that Wes" tern Australia wanted was the fostering help which such was companies as this could give, much as the Government of India gave help in developing the tea trade of I ndia, having themselves started its cultivation, and afterwards turned over the enterprise to the Assam Tea whichCompany"' now a thriving and prosperous underta kin g , making a re turn of 10 per cent. Mr. WOREALL, the Mayor of Salford, moved "That from the facts laid before the meeting it appeared that Wes tern Australia was a British colony eminently suitable to the growth of cotton." Mr. W. Morthis seconded the resolution, and it was was Worthy of the sup carried unanimously. Mr. T. G.
