There is a great deal more of vulgar claptrap written and spoken in favour of than against the Harse•ride in Kensington-gardens. Any one living in the neighbourhood, who protests against it, is at once sneered at as a /vestryman. The refined cham pions of Mr. COWPER'S Folly endeavour to make good their case (so very ingenuously !) by talking loudly of the fears entertained by these westrymen and. patresfamilice, lest their children should be trampled to death by homicidal equestrians, or gored and partially devoured by infuriated blood hounds. To hear the advocates of this ridi culous crotchet one might really be led to suppose that there is something essentially mean and despicable in our municipal institutions —that, in fact, there is only one thing meaner or more despicable, namely, being a parent endowed with the ordinary instincts of philoprogenitiveness. Those who like ourselves have been opposed to this uncalled for whim of the Chief Commissioner, have opposed it as an unasked and in every way unde sirable innovation. Is it not an " innovation ?" Nobody ever heard before of a horse ride being carried through the very centre of Kensington-gardens. Nobody ever heard of such a horse ride being desired by one single individual. Until one fine day—the thing was done—without an ordinary " with your leave, or by your leave"—in obedience to the autocratic mandate of the Chief Commissioner. In this un authorised manner £250 worth of hurdles were planted jn double lines, sweeping round from the western extremity of Rotten Row, between the Round Pond and the old red-brick Palace, parallel with the Broad Walk, to the Notting-hill entrance, then turning eastwards at a tangent, and. running thence under the trees, side by side, with the Bayswater turnpike road. The utmost derision has since then been directed against those who venture to express any solici tude as to the safety of the scores of little children hitherto crossing and recrossing the line of this horse-road, whether on foot or in perambulators. Those who, naturally enough, complain of the in- troduction of any horse-ride at all in that particu lar locality—a locality hitherto restricted entirely to pedestrians —are jeered at coarsely, and most illogically as selfish lv desirous to render what is "pub- Ec"— , ' private." Than which imputation nothing certainly could be m ore utterly preposterous. Accord ing to this mode of reasoning not one of our publis parks can be deemed worthy of the name of public until a horse-rido shall have been conducted right across it. And in, the name of justice we ought to insist upon having another of Mr. COWPER'S nonsensical ridefi carried sheer through Green Park, from 'the Mall to the Triumphal Arch at Hp le Park Corner. Whatever may be though .t, however, of the result of last evening's debaf,e and division in the House of Commons—cert ain are we that neither will be found to have settled the question definitively. The hurdles fencing off the horse ride will be paid for to the tun eof £2so—and that is all. The horse ride its, Af will sooner or later follow Mr. HAWKSLEY'S icheme of filtration. Let it be r emarked for a moment how exces sively absurd are the statements made in defence of his pet en .terprise by the Chief Commissioner himself onl y yesterday. His predecessor Lord JOHN 3i [ANNERS had insisted upon the recog t ition of th , .e tolerably self-evident truth that "Parks are p. irks, and gardens are gardens." What is M r. e°"%VP:. LR's reply ? Why, h e d en i e s the pro positionl o wonder the House listening to him was at on convulsed with "great laughter.' Then not e v; e hat the sapien tMi nister said immediately afterwards. "ge believed that the House would agree with - him that the mere fact of Kensington Gardens hay - lug hitherto been kept for pedestrians, was no reas. Dn why People should not be admitted who took recreation on horseback” [mark the words that folio we .1 this] " provided only that they could do so withourt inflicting any matorial discomfort on other classes,." So that the infliction of some dis comfort is a thing to be tolerated —the only pro. vision is that the discomfort is not to be very material ! Now, according to this, we might hav e it insisted upon as only a reasonable proposition that a parallel road should be hurdled off for the use of the donkey -carts of our useful and indus- trious fellow-citizens the chimney-sweeps and costermongers. Any of the fashionable equestrians who might declaim against such a suggestion as extravagant, would, surely, only be following in the wulgar pathvay already trodden by the Mary lebone westrymen ! They would only be evidencing a wish to render what is " public "—" private." It is a perfect absurdity for Mr. COWPER to maintain that the question at issue, in regard to Kensington Gardens, is one that presents the alternative of pri vacy or publicity. As to his extraordinary asser tion that "the people who went to the flower gar dens never had to cross the ride at all"—we can only characterise it as a gross, and monstrous, and wilful, and outrageous misstatement. The Horse ride—at the very point where it quits Rotten-row and trends into Kensington-gardens—cutting right across THE flower-walk, par excellence, in those gardens ! It will be remembered well, of course, that Mr. COWPER, in first defending his little dis play of elegant flunkeyism—consulting the com fort and convenience not of the Million, but of the Upper Ten Thousand—had the shabbiness to pre tend that his Horse-ride was designed with au especial regard to the sanitary habits of profes sional men, lawyers and doctors, and the like. Well, one of the lawyers, in the person of Mr. MALINS, spoke out plainly enough upon the subject yesterday—and certainly the hon. and learned gentleman, the member for Wallingford, went dead against the pet scheme of the Chief Commissioner. That scheme is one altogether so arbitrary in itself, so entirely for the benefit of a single section of society, so wholly in defiance of public opinion, that we cannot but rest confident that it will follow in the wake of every perverse and paltry attempt at class legislation. Our young P2INCE will be forcibly reminded, by his journey, of one of the blessings of his lot, If his life be spared, he will enter upon " the quiet and peaceable possession," as the lawyers would say, of his throne, without anything resembling the struggle which he will witness in America. GIB BON has long ago observed how, notwithstanding the apparent absurdity of devolving the supreme magistracy on a legitimate heir, who, as facts, and not theory only, show, may be a weak or vicious man—at best an average man—more probably than a very wise one, yet the highest post in the nation has always been found to be a prize too valuable to submit to competition. Perhaps, also, the more educated and thoughtful among our young cousins are beginning to cherish feelings and senti ments which tend this way, though they hardly dare themselves mould them into ideas and notions, much less venture to give them utterance in words. Still, how thoroughly distasteful must it be to re fined minds to witness the coarse bullying strife which is now going on in the States, respecting an office which ought to represent, not the passions of the majority, much less of a half-civilised minority of slave-holders, but the impartiality on which every citizen, and every class of citizens might rely. . Our readers, probably, well know that Repub licans are the Conservatives of the United States, and Democrats the extreme Radicals—the former leaning strongly to support of the Federal Go vernment, while the Democrats lay chief stress on the sovereignty of individual states. Just now, however, it is the Slavery Question which over rides every other. The three candidates now in the field, with their corresponding vice-presidents, (and a fourth candidate is threatened) are all dis tinguished from each other by their shades of opinion on the subject of slavery. Mr. BRECKIN RIDGE is the out and out advocate of slavery. His followers have arrived at the conclusion that it is a moral good ! at least, this is their creed in ►he great capital of New York. Mr. BRECKINRIDGE would stick at nothing ; would renew, were it needful, the atrocities upheld by PIERCE and BUCHANAN in Kansas, and would not object to the slave trade but that his party dread equally the disgrace of leaving all the honour of captures to the British, and the expense of convey ing the captured negroes to Liberia. To save the latter expense, indeed, it has been found convenient to wink at the abduction of the unfortunate re leased Africans, and to give out that they are dying of an epidemic, which epidemic turns out to be one that takes them for their recovery to the southern cotton plantations ! Mr. DOUGLAS, though a pro-slavery man, is strongly opposed to inflicting slavery by coercion on the territories. He was heartless enough to aid the slaveholders in abolishing the geographical line (36 deg. 30 min. N. lat.), north of which it had been agreed by both parties that slavery should not be tolerated. But he did so under the pretext of making the territories supreme judges them selves in the matter of slavery. They were to have full power to tolerate slavery or to forbid it the territory, until they had arrived at a sufficient amount of population to enter the Union as States. Practically Mr. DOUGLAS, who is the proper leader of the Democratic party, from which that of BRECKINRIDGE is a secession, is midway between the more atrocious upholders of slavery and the Republicans. The Republicans, however, are not abolitionists. They shudder at the mere word. They find slavery to be a political evil ; and they are anxious to limit its domain. Non-extension of slave-territory is all they aim at. They deny that, under the constitution of the United States, Congress, which has the Government of the territories, can legislate slavery into them. They regard the constitution— which is certainly historically true—as designed to establish freedom, not slavery. Their republican fathers—they said on one of their platforms, in 1856, prior to the Presidential election of that year —when they had abolished slavery in all their na tional territory, ordained that no person should be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Hence they deny the right " of Congress, of any territorial legislature, or of any individual, or association of individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States, while the present Constitution shall be maintained." The candidate of this, now very large party, was to have been the well known Mr. SEWARD, of New York, but to soothe the excite ment of party feeling, a man of whom no One here ever heard before—a Mr. LINCOLN, of Illinois— singularly enough the State of Mr. DOUGLAS also— was hit upon, as one who had hitherto had no alienating contentions with any party whatever. On account of the split in the Democratic camp, which seems likely to be irreconcileable, the Repub licans are in great hope this time of carrying their man; and a mercy indeed it would be to the coun try if for once, in a long series of years, a Presi dent was elected who represented the freedom and intelligence of the North, and was not a mere tool of the South,—a willing abettor, like BUCUANAN, of the most horrid atrocities in Kansas —if it might but strengthen the infernal and thrice accursed villany of slavery. We wish we could share on this subject the confidence of an author who writes from professedly personal and inti mate knowledge of the subject. Mr. F. M.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1860. L AT E S►N E The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : MESSINA, AUG. 8. Garibaldi has not yet left for the mainland, but still continues his preparations. PARIS, AUG. 10. The Moniteur of this morning publishes the usual monthly return of the Bank of France, which shows the following results as compared with the July return : rorism. It will be the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Act, the confining of slavery within its present limits, and the destruction of filibusterism, annexa tionising, and the secret carrying on of the slave trade." May Mr. EDGE prove a true prophet ! But he calculates on the twenty-seven votes of Pensyl vania, a State of whose stability England knows something pecuniarily and of whose morality and love of, liberty the Union had proof enough in 1856, in its Tote for the avowed friend of filibusterism and man-selling—Mr. BUCHANAN. Low indeed fell the Quaker State that year. We fear that the symptoms of improvement in its municipal elections are not sufficiently confirmed to be trustworthy in - dications of her political and moral advance. What we fear is, that by the defection a second time of Pennsylvania the election of a President may be thrown into the hands of Congress. In that case it is not doubted that iniquity will again triumph ; should the election go to Congress, the voting is there by States, not by delegates. It requires that but two of the States should prove faithless to their own Constitution and Declaration of Inde pendence, and the result may be a mad pro-slavery President. He would have a majority of seven teen to sixteen. From such a calamity one is ready to pray that PROVIDENCE may save Chris tendom and civilisation. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz returned to town on Wednesday afternoon from visiting Lady Marian Alford at Ashridge Park, Herts. His Excellency the French Ambassador and the • Countess de Persigny have left Albert-gate House for Pen carrow, Cornwall, on a visit to Lady Molesworth. His Excellency the Swedish Minister and the Countess Platen have left town on a visit to Lady Moles worth, at her seat, Pencairow, Cornwall. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll received a select party at dinner on Wednesday evening at their villa at Campden-hill, Kensington. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield and Lady Evelyn Stanhope left Grosvenor-square yesterday, for Bretby Park, Derbyshire. The Earl and Countess Amherst and the Ladies Amherst leave town to-morrow for Montreal Park, the family seat in Kent. The Countess D'Espera and Mademoiselle D'Espera have arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn. street, from Portugal. The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Stonor have arrived in Hertford-street, from Brighton; Mr. and Mrs. Stonor purpose leaving town early next week, for Stonor Park, Oxfordshire. The Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.P., returned to town yesterday from Scotland. The right hon. gentle man stayed at York on Wednesday, and remained the night for the purpose of inspecting the barracks. Mrs. Herbert has left town on a visit to her father, General A'Court, at Amington Hall, near Warwick. Mr. Scott, Deputy Chairman of the Brighton Railway Company, Mr. T. W. Henderson, and Mr. Coning ham, M.P., directors, Mr. Slight, the secretary, Mr. Faith full, solicitor, Mr. Hood, engineer, and Mr. Hawkins, the traffic manager of the company, had an interview with the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson and the Right Hon. W. Hutt yesterday at the office of the Board of Trade. A marriage has been arranged between Lady Emma Stanley, only daughter of the Earl and Countess of Derby, and Col. the Hon. W. P. M. Talbot, brother of the Earl of Shrewsbury. A canonry residentiary in Westminster Abbey has become vacant by the death of the Rev. E. Reptcn, M.A., who was appointed to it in 1838 by Lord Melbourne, the then Prime Minister. The canonry is worth £l,OOO a year, with a house, and is in the gift of the Crown. By Canon Repton's death two other livings become vacant, the vicarage of Shoreham, near Sevenoaks, worth £470 a year, with :house, in the gift of the dean and canons of Westminster; and the incumbency of St. Philip's Church, Regent-street (diocese of London), worth £4OO a year, in the gift of the Rev. J. E. Kempe, M.A., Rector of St. James's, Westminster. DEATH OF A PENINSULAR OFFICER...—We have to record the death of Mr. Francis Green Bradshaw, a ma gistrate of the county of Norfolk, and formerly of the 52d Foot, which occurred at his residence, Drayton House, Norfolk, on the sth inst., at the advanced age of 75 years. The deceased officer entered the army in January, 1805, served with the sth Dragoon Guards in the Peninsula, in cluding the battles of Vittoria and Toulouse, for which he had received the war medal, with two clasps. A letter from Ceuta of the 21st states that the central military hospital was totally consumed by fire on 20th, but fortunately without occasioning an y l oss o f life. The report of the directors of the Mid-Kent. Railway Company recommends a half-yearly dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum. The troops at Chusan are unprecedently healthy. One per cent, is the average of sickness by latest news. A report has been received from Macao that a large French troopship, with 1,200 men on board, is on shore there and on fire. The troops have been landed, but the ship, it is expected, will be totally lost. In the absence of further particulars it is conjectured that the vessel took fire and was run on shore to save the troops and crew. This is the third ship of the expedition the French have lost withinthe last two months. NIAGARA FALLS.—The Niagara Falls Gazette says that a day or two ago a drayman threw his dog into the rapids near Goat Island-bridge, and immediately afterwards went to the foot of the ferry stairs, and found him but little injured by the tremendous leap. The cruel experiment was tried to convince some incredulous persons.—New York Herald. THE HIGHLANDS.—We understand that the beau tiful Highland estate of Aigas, which belonged to the late Chisholm, will speedily be in the market.—lnverness Courier. FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS SERVING IN INDIA.— Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners chartered, yes terday afternoon, the 9th inst., two ships—viz., the Aliquis, of 1,125 tons, and the Bride, of 565 tons, to convey the wives and families of soldiers serving in India from Ply mouth and Southampton to Madras and Bombay respec tively, at £l6 3s. 6d. and£l7 195.5 d. per statute adult, to be ready for the reception of their passengers on the 10th of September. The owner is required to provide for each 100 passengers three passenger stewards, to be subject to the orders of the surgeon-superintendent of the ship. THE LIVERPOOL TANNERS.—A Meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Barton and Son, tanners and leather factors, was held yesterday in the chambers of Messrs. Harwood, Banner and Son, accountants, North John street. The meeting was numerously attended. The amount of liabilities was stated at £184,000, and the assets at £71,000. An offer was made by Messrs. Barton and Son of Bs. in the pound; and after some discussion, the creditors present agreed to accept this offer. The proceed ings of the meeting occupied nearly two hours. SUICIDE BY A POLlCEMAN—Yesterday morning self-destruction was committed by T. Johnstone, a City police-constable of the sth division. The unfortunate man was excitable and low-spirited. On one of his brother constables calling him at half-past five o'clock to dress for the purpose of going on duty, the deceased answered, " Yes, it is all right," and shortly after went down stairs. On one of the inmates going into the yard he was horrified at discovering him suspended by a rope from a nail in the yard. Medical assistance was sent for and promptly at tended, but life was quite extinct. No cause is assigned for the act. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—As the Liverpool mail train, due at the Euston square Station at 11 a.m., was emerging from the Kilburn Tunnel yesterday, a pointsm an, named William Edgell, in cautiously attempted to cross over the line, and was pro pelled by the buffer of the engine a considerable distance, falling with great violence on the metals, but providentially free from the wheels of the passing train. He was conveyed to the University College Hospital, where it was ascer tained that in addition to severe contusions which he had received, the spine was serioxely injured. SLIGO ELECTION.—The correspondent of the Freeman's Journal, writing from Sligo, communicates the fact that Mr. Tenison has retired from the contest. He states in his retiring address that in coming forward to con test the seat with Mr. Maedonogh, the Conservative candi date, he expected to have had the support of the whole Liberal party. In the present position of the registry when a liberal vote cannot safely be spared, the appearance of Mr. Somers at the nomination and his expressed determina tion to go to the poll left Mr. Tenison no alternative but to retire. The following circular had subsequently been issued :—Tuesday Evening.—As Mr. Tenison is obliged, by the interference of Mr. Somers, to resign his candidature for the representation of the borough, I request that no liberal elector will vote to-morrow for Mr. Somers, on whom must devolve the odium and respolisibility of the unsuccessful issue of the present contest. It is my earnest desire that there be no oppisition whatever made to the return of the Conservative candidate; and that there be no further mani festation made against the Conservative candidate. L. GILLoOLY." The following is the close of the poll as re ceived in Dublin by Telegraph :—Macdonogh, 160 ; Reilly, 5 ; and Somers, 1. BIRDS AND FISH FOR AUSTRALIA.—Mr. Lan dells brought fro India a very i n t erest i ng collection of birds and curiosities of natural history for our public institutions. Among these there are 34 Indian partridges (the sole sur vivors of some 300 shipped), 18 Persian doves, 2 marabouts, 1 pelican of the wilderness, 2 chackas, 20 love-birds, 20 Cochin birds, a hunting dog from the north of India, &c. Mr. Landells endeavoured to bring over, for the Botanical Gardens, two rose trees of the celebrated cashmere variety, but they died on the voyage. A further consignment of English birds, sent by Mr. Wilson, arrived by the Norfolk —viz., 3 lark, 9 thrushes, and 37 blackbirds, which were placed in a warmer apartment of the Botanical Gardens than the aviary, as they arrrived in poor and weak condi tion. Originally 73 larks were embarked, and the mortality among them therefore was very great. One thrush and three blackbirds were lost on the voyage. By the same ship five English hares were brought to the colony (10 having been embarked) for Mr. W. Lyall, of Yallock. They are in good condition. We also learn that two Indian deer were landed at Perth, in Western Australia, from Singapore, a few weeks ago. We very much regret to state that the expe riment of introducing salmon ova to the Australasian rivers has failed. The ship S. Curling arrived in the bay on Saturday, after a protracted passage of 104 days from Liver pool to the Heads, when it was found that the whole of the ova had died by the way—the first before the ship left the Mersey, the last in lat. 26 deg. S. and long. 27 deg. 18 min. W. ; and it is a source of the greatest vexation that the want of proper water and a sufficient supply of ice has been primarily the cause of the failure of this expensive but most promising and patriotic experiment.—.

The Porte, however, having officially assured the. Austrian Cabinet that, according to the latest information received, Fuad Pacha had guaran teed to pacify Syria without the aid of foreign troops, the project was abandoned. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 1. A threatened outbreak has been prevented at Salonica and also at Aleppo. The agitation in Bosnia is increasing. It is confirmed that a conspiracy against the life of the Grand Vizier has been discovered. The revelatiens compromise persons of high standing. The Grand Vizier has compelled several high func tionaries to return public money illegally acquired. Arrears of pay are still due to the army and to public employes. A great panic prevails among a portion of the European inhabitants. Some have returned from the country to Constantinople. The sale of gunpowder has been prohibited, but the Turks are said to have already bought large quantities. PALERMO, AUG. 6 , An official account states that Garibaldi only consented to the terms of the capitulation of Melazzo after representations had been made to him by some Neapolitan officers to the effect that their soldiers were brothers of the. Sicilians although fighting against them by the orders of their supe riors. The municipality, the police, and all other branches of the public administration of Messina have been reorganised. The lighthouse and Fort Gonzago are occupied by the Garibaldians, with a battery of 14 guns. Volunteers and siege artillery are daily arriving at Messina. It is expected that some persons who oppose the Government by proposing an Italian confedera tion, and others who are suspected of being foreign agents, will be expelled from the island. NAPLES, AUG. 8. The city is tranquil. Troops are continually arriving for the defence of Naples. FRANCE. • PARIS, AUG. 9.

The Malta Times publishes the following letter from its correspondent at Messina, dated the 31st ult. :—" I have to tell you that on two nights back more troops came pouring in, about 5,000 or 6,000 from Melazzo, with three field-pieces, and 2,000 men from Catania, under the command of Colonel Heber, the Times' correspondent. General Bixio and Garibaldi's son are also expected to-day from Catania with 3,000 men more. They left Catania for this on the night of the 29th. Garibaldi has lost no time since he came here. By Sunday morn ing he had already made a battery of eight guns at the Faro Point, which is to be increased to 30 guns. Early in the morning of the 27th, Fabrizi came into Messina alone, the royal troops having aban doned the town during that night, taking good care, as usual, to open the prison doors to 250 cut throats and housebreakers, about 60 of whom have already been seized, but the rest have made for the country. At 9.30 a.m. Fabrizi's men came in, and shortly after Medici and his column—alto gether, during the day, it is said that 4,500 arrived in Messina. The Italian heroes are well pleased with the reception given -to them by the Messinese, who, however, were not well prepared for such an unexpected entry. Notwithstanding which, in a very short time, a number of shops were opened, and as the Italians came in they were received with immense applause ; many persons were to be seen handing refresh men t s t o th e men ; o th er s with jugs and water, cigars, rice, hot bread jest baked for them, and showing other attentions for which the Messinese are noted. All the cafes have orders not to charge for anything that the troops may take, and it is the same with the cigar-shops. Preparations were ordered to be made for the reception of Garibaldi, who was to come in on the 28th ; but he popped into town in a hackney coach, at a quarter to three the day before, just as all the people were taking dinner. He was, how ever, discovered as he was going down San Leone. His carriage was immediately surrounded, and, though he protested against it, the horses were taken out, and high and low were pulling away, crying, ' Viva Garibaldi!' Viya l'ltalia !'—the crowd increased every instant, everyone leaving his maccaroni to welcome his deliverer. At last his carriage stopped at the house where the in tendente used to live. He got out, and managed to step into the house; but he made the people shout for some five minutes before he showed himself in the balcony ; the applause was im mense, besides clapping of hands. One hour after his arrival he was in a carriage again and off to the Faro. As he expressed this wish as soon as he arrived, a carriage was sent forward to state that Garibaldi was coming on that road within an hour, on which bouquets were made in no time, so that when he passed he was well received. On his return from the Faro, all the country-houses were illuminated, and as he passed along large bonfires with straw and hay were made, which gave a t remendous glare . The town wa s illuminated, and t r i co l oure d fla gs without end hung from the balconies. The people in town were dis appointed, however; for Garibaldi, when entering k the town, got out of the carriage, and running up some dirty lanes, managed to escape the cheering prepared for him by the anxiously awaiting crowd, who saw nothing but the empty carriage. This morning early he was out, and it is not known where he is gone. The citadel will have about 5,000 men left in it. The two forts on the hill are to be dis armed. The Royal troops cannot pass Terranova, but some of the officers are seen about our streets and in the cafes fraternizing with the Italians. A good many deserters come over; they walk about in the Neapolitan uniform with a wide-awake and tricoloured handkerchief, and the likeness of Gari baldi tied about their necks." A correspondent at Naples writes, on the 4th : " Appeals to arms have been publicly posted up in this city. Last night a placard was to be seen demanding annexation to Piedmont, and to-morrow perhaps the abdication of the King will be called for; for in the way in which things are now going on, Francis 11. has not much chance of remaining long on his throne. Great agitation prevails in Calabria, and cries in favour of Garibaldi are publicly raised. What, however, is certain is, that but for foreign agitators the kingdom of the Two Sicilies would never have witnessed sedition against its King. The revolutionists are in movement here, and the subject of gene ral remark is, that the clubs of .the Via Toledo and of some of the neighbouring streets display the greatest aetivity. The Camerrists of the Ad vocate Minister of Police appear to second the enemies of the King in their conspiracies. I shall not be at all surprised to see Garibaldi at Naples in a week or ten days. In spite of every solicitation, and the distribution of cigars, the army still remains faithful." Another letter from Naples, of the same date, says :—" Three days ago the fete of the Queen mother came on, and there was a remarkable de monstration of a negative character. Not an illu mination was to be seen anywhere in'the whole town —not even at the posts of the National Guard. It was said that the troops would compel the people to illuminate by force, but they prudently abstained from doing anything of the kind. If they had attempted it, bands of lazzaroni would have gone about the town to break any window at which a light might be seen. To cause the importance of the dimonstration to be understood, two things must be mentioned—the first is that at Naples, the people, either from fear or habit, never forget to illuminate on Royal fetes; and the second, and though abstaining from illuminating for the Queen Dowager, the whole city has re cently been twice brilliantly lighted up—once to celebrate the establishment of the National Guard, and the second time on the anniversary of Gari baldi's birthday ; nobles, citizens, and the poor all illuminated—even the Royalists themselves did so from fear." A third letter from the same city says :—" Fear reigns in the two camps. The country dreads reaction, and the reactionary party hesitates in presence of the attitude of the country, and is alarmed at the very populace which was for merly its instrument. In the eyes of the people Garibaldi has dethroned St. Januarius and St. Anthony, and they say at every mo ment, ' We have still a month's hunger to endure, but when Garibaldi shall have arrived flour will cost three sous the pound ! This idea makes the people revolutionary, and gives them a force which occasions terror to the reactionary party, whose headquarters are at Gaeta. .The Court spares no pains to excite the zeal of the populace and of the inferior class of citizens in its favour ; it gives money liberally, makes unbounded promises, and spreads the strangest insinuations and rumours. The Cardinal Archbishop has formed a committee under pretence of preparing for the elections, and Canon San Severino is one of its most active agents. One of its secretaries, a certain Soarano, hawks about the mot d'ordre in the 20 parishes of the city. The King relies more and moreon the army. The other night he led it himself to Bagnuoli, at about a mile and a half from Naples, where it was said a disembarka tion was expected, and his Majesty remained with it to the morning. But the disembarkation was a pre text. In Calabria 16,000 men are to be concentrated, and intrenched camps are to be formed at Leggio, Monteleone, and Paoli. Troops were sent off yes terday and the day before. A telegraphic despatch from Reggio says that a great movement was seen at Messina on the opposite coast. General Clary has arrived here in obedience to orders of the Minis ters, and has seen the King. It is believed that he has recommended the evacuation of the citadel of Messina,which he holds; but it is more probable that he has cone to give precise details respecting the operations of Garibaldi. The latter is now almost master of the Straits, he having established a battery of rifled cannon at Torre de Faro, with which he dominates the opposite coast of Calabria. At the present moment he has 17,000 men concentrated at Messina." NORTE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPII. The following is a copy of a letter received yes terday from Captain Allen Young, of the Fox steamer : "Thorshaven, Faroe Islands, August 3. " Dear Sir,—As the mail probably leaves for home to-morrow, I take the opportunity to report our progress. We have had a tedious passage with con trary winds all the way, but I hope our good luck is to come, and we are all happy. I have almost all our coals remaining, and am ready to start fair from here. In making these islands we ran a line of soundings from some ten miles off into the north point of Naalsoe Island, a fine sandy bottom and shells, with depth varying from 35 to 26 fathoms. We anchored here to-day, and immediately com menced an examination of the locality. I find Thors haven perfectly adapted for the reception of a cable, but as it would be liable to damage from anchors, I have selected an ex ce ll en t li tt l e b ay called Sandy yerde. This bay lies three quarters of a mile south of Thorshaven Harbour, and there a cable might be landed and be in perfect repose on a sandy bottom and sandy beach, and perfectly land locked. We have also run soundings across Naalsoe fiord, and the depth of water bottom and strength of stream are such as will perfectly admit of a wire being carried through it either by north or south into Sandyyerde bay or Thorshaven. The violent currents here are mere bugbears. I have narrowly watched both ebb and flood, and now in the strongest spring tides I cannot detect more than a three knot stream in Naalsoe fiord. As M'Clintock has examined West manshaven, and in case that fiord might prove un favourable. I shall gn to Heldervig. near the north west entrance to the fiord, dividing Stromoe and Osteroe, and indeed this appears to me the best point of departure from these islands. At any rate we shall thus have two strings to our bow, that is both Westmanshaven and Haldervig. Shaffner and Rae cross the land to-morrow, and I pick them up the other side, and having surveyed Haldervig I shall depart at once for Iceland. I hope you will pardon my writing you so short and hurried a letter, but I am completely tired with the day's work.—Believe me, dear sir, yours very truly, (Signed) "ALLEN YOUNG. " S. It. Croskey, Esq., 84, King William-street." THE ENGLISH AND FRENCH NAVIES. A thick pamphlet has just been published, from the pen of M. Cucheval Clarigny, the subject of which is a comparison of the naval and Military forces of England and France. The preface states that it was originally written by order of the Go vernment, and not for publication; but that, in consequence of misstatements on this side of the Channel, it has been thought advisable to give it publicity. The following is the statement it makes of the strength of the French and English navies The strength of the English fleet is taken, says the author, from the Navy List of the Ist of July, 1860. The effective strength of the French fleet on the Ist of August, 1860, is given. Only the ships afloat are put down ; these on the stocks are not mentioned. The comparison would have been complete and to the purpose if these last had been enumerated : Ships afloat. Steam Fleet:— French. English. Steam liners Steam frigates Smaller vessels, inc. transports, not fighting ships 195 388 268 Ships of the line Primates Inferior vessels 124 PROTOGRAPH OF A PRESIDENT CANDIDATE. Mr. Douglas came to Boston last week, arriving on Tuesday afternoon and leaving on Friday morn ing, which was giving a great deal of time to so barren a field as Massachusetts. He • was well re ceived, many persons going to see him out of curiosity who could not be made to vote for him by any human power. He has been the most promi nent figure in our political field for nearly seven years, and so men turn Gut to gaze upon him who would be among the foremost to keep him out of the Presidency were it not that he has done the work to their hand himself. Do you wish for the portrait of the man who has become so notorious, and who has been all but Caesar ? Well, then, he is about five feet high, or thereabout, rather less than more, and so short as compared with most of our public men, that Benton once declared that he never could be President because his coat-tails were too near the ground, only the colonel expressed his belief in more Rabelasian language than the de corum of journalism allows me to employ. His legs are marvellously short, even for a short man, and the development of his abdominal regions has cut him off from even the hope of ever again getting a full view of his shoes, while it has placed his waist coat fairly before his eyes. His head is massive, and shows enormous mental power, dominated, ho w ever, by a sensual nature, which is indicated by his face in an especial manner—a face that is coarse in every detail, and enormously coarse in the aggregate. If I was a believer in metempsy chosis I should say that his soul either had inhabited the body of a bull, or that it was destined to have such an abode. The chest and neck are heavy and strong, and show how it is that he has been able to perform labours so Hercu lean as those which he has gone through since 1857 —labours that would, I verily believe, have killed any other man in America. Altogether the aspir ing senator presents an unattractive appearance, and is the very model of a New York " Short Boy." Had he been well brought up by a wife of deter mined will and fixed principles, he would have been quite as clever as he is now, and much better look ing ; but his first wife, though an admirable woman .in most respects, was too good-natured and easy, and allowed him to have his own way in all things. The consequence was that he lived fast and passed his time, when not in his congressional seat, in the company of loafers and bar-room rowdies, whereby he contracted habits that even the ascendancy of the second Mrs. Douglas, a very superior woman, has not been able to remove entirely. There is no thing attractive about him, and if you were to meet him as a stranger you would be inclined to give him an uncommonly wide berth. Even his man ner of wearing his "fell of hair" is suggestive of rowdyism, as he favours the " rumple" fashion, and leaves the impression that he is ever ruffled for a fight ; and men " hate the hawk that always lives in war." He is a little man, but not one of Claren don's "little men"—Falkland, Sidney Godolphin, and the rest of them—who were gentlemen, and had great minds and grand souls. He is emphatically a " rough." His manner is easy certainly, but it is the easiness, not of a man of good breeding, but of a man of a want of good breeding. The sensation his appearance excites is compounded of pity and dis gust; pity,that so fine an intellect as his should be so wasted; and disgust, that the waste should be so wanton. He makes a sad contrast to his rival in the :fiery affections of the passionate Democracy. Mr. Breckinridge is singularly handsome, being tall, elegant, and dignified ; in short, the very ideal of a gentleman, if I may say so, and would beat all the other candidates hollow were looks to decide the contest. His supporters ought to send him after Mr. Douglas, wherever the latter shall go, so that the people may have an opportunity to see how different the men are. The Kentuckian is of high lineage, as lineage goes in America, as he belongs to a family which has been well known for near a century, and which has produced states men, lawyers, divines, and literary men. LORD DERBY. THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW, AND THE LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL. At the adjourned meeting of the Livorpool Town Council, yesterday, a letter was read from Lord Derby, requesting the co-operation of the Council with regard to the arrangements for the proposed great volunteer review at Knowsley Park, on the Ist September. On the motion of Mr. Parker, seconded by Mr. Gardner, it was resolved that the volunteers in the employ of the Corporation should have a holiday. During the discussion of the sub ject Mr. R. Gladstone (brother of the Chancellor) took occasion to denounce the volunteer movement as a ridiculous exhibition of personal vanity ; said that it would defeat the object for which it was organised, cull declared that an exchange of com modities was the only guarantee of peace. The fol lowing is a copy of Lord Derby's letter : St. James's-square, Aug. 6, 1860. Dear Sir,—lt has been suggested to me as very desirable that the Volunteer review which is to take place in front of the house at Knowsley on the Ist of next month should commence at an hour which will admit of the several corps, and especially those coming from a distance, returning to their respective homes before a vet) , late hour of the night; but this cannot possibly be accomplished if the men are unable to leave Liverpool till after the ordinary hours of business. In such a case, indeed, they could hardly all be on the ground very much before dusk ; and all parties would be subjected to very great inconvenience. The spirit with which the Volunteer movement has been taken up in Liver pool and the neighbourhood leads me to hope that there will be a very general disposition to afford every facility for the proposed review ; and should you approve of the idea of obtaining for the Volunteers generally a half-holiday, if not a whole one, for that day, I do not doubt but that your in fluence would secure for it a general and ready adoption. In that case the review might commence not later than three or four o'clock, and the men would be enabled, with out inconvenience, to reach their homes without encroach ing largely upon the Saturday night. Should you think fit to bring this subject before the Council, and, with their concurrence, obtain the accomplishment of the object, you will, I think, greatly promote the public convenience, and you will much oblige, my dear sir, yours faithfully, The Worshipful the Mayor. DERBY. FATAL ACCIDENT T() ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS. DOVER, THURSDAY EVENING. The town of Dover is thrown into consternation by an appalling accident which has occurred this evening. While the Artillery Volunteer Corps were engaged in gun practice at Archcliff Fort one of the guns burst, scattering its fragments in all directions. Mr. G. T. Thompson (solicitor), one of the lieutenants, and Mr. J. Monger (tobacconist), a sergeant, were killed upon the spot, and several other members of thb corps are seriously injured. Mr. Harris, a nephew of Captain Wollaston, who is in command of the corps, is lying in a dangerous condition from concussion of the brain, and among the other persons hurt are Mr. Gilfillen (tailor), Mr. Hadlow (painter), and a young man named Boulding. Lieutenant Thompson was the coroner for the borough, and was held in the highest esteem by all classes of his fellow-townsmen. It is believed that the accident arose from a defeat in the gun and not from its being imperfectly loaded, as the ball dis charged from it reached within a few yards of its proper range, which would not-have been the case had there been any defect in the ramming of the charge. No event has occurred in Dover for many years which has cast such profound sadness over the town. TILE MYsTER.Ioi/S 11.1JAD MURDER.—The most strenuous exertions are said to be put in force by the local police, under the direction of Capt. Me re dith , in this most mysterious case, in order to trace the murderer or murderess. At present their course of action is strictly private, but they are sanguine as to the result. Mr. Inspector Whicher and Mr. Williamson have not yet returned to the scene, beinc , otherwise engaged in tow n . Th e case is now in the hands ' of Superintendents Wolfe and Foley, assisted by the other superintendents and the police. A strict watch is still kept over the inmates of the house, from whom the police are unable to elicit anything further, in addition to what has already appeared, respecting this dark transaction. The missing bedgown, it is almost needless to state, has not been found, although the most searching investigation has again been made by the police of all the inmates of the house and of the persons in the locality, likely to afford some information on the mat er. So minute has been the search, that last week the police applied to the Home Secretary for an order to exhume the body of the murdered child, at Baynton, Devizes, thinking the night-d ress m i g ht have been secre t e d i n the coffin with the body, as it was not interred until the Saturday following the Tuesday when the night-gown was first missed. The order was granted, and the body disinterred, but nothing but the usual habiliments of death were seen in the coffin ...Bath Chronicle. We read in the Frome Times :—" On Monday a gentleman holding a high judicial position paid a visit to Road, and minutely examined the premises and several of the household. We are unformed that the conclusion he arrived at was that which is shared in by nearly all who have been engaged in investigating the case, gamely, that the deed was not the :work of one person alone. He was further of opi nion that the murderer did not return to the house. The case is now again in fhe hands of Superintendent Foley, Inspector Whicher not having returned, nor,m ~,, believe, is he expected to return. Mr. Foley has 'ue almost:daily visits to Road.

T.TIE _REVIEW OF Tlig SCOTTISH VOLUNTEERS BY THE QUEEN. (From the Edinburgh Courant.) The Review of the Scottish Volunteers yesterday is one of those events seldom witnessed more than once by an individual, but which witnessed once can never be forgotten. Those who were present, or those who are acquainted with the environs of the Seottish capital, need not be told that nowhere in the whole British dominions could a spot be found better adapted to give full effect to such a spectacle than that where the review took place. Imagine a large natural. amphitheatre, a few miles in circuit, and of proportionate depth, from the level basement of which, sufficiently large for twenty thousand armed men to manoeuvre without appearance of crowding, there rise to the height of eight hundred feet a series of terraces, some bold and precipitous, some gently sloping, and it will be evident that, even if the ground had been laid off by the hand of man for the occasion, it could hardly have been better suited for the pur pose to which it was yesterday set apart. Coining in at either corner of the esplanade you are struck with admiration at the sight which immediately meets you. To whatever hand you turn you. behold men and women in " number numberless," looking down upon you, dispersed in easy groups, or cluster ing thick as bees on every knoll and eminence, the hillsides literally alive with the multitudes that cover them. You are balled in the attempt to calcu late the throng, and seek relief from the sense of in ability. - Looking beyond the crowd to the highest point of Salisbury Crags, away to the extreme right your eye rests immediately with pleasure on some military tents whose light and airy look of snowy whiteness, gleaming in the sunshine, at once gets effect from and gives it to the foreground, dark with the dense mass of human figures. As you turn your gaze for a yet more extensive range, you be hold far up on the very peak of Arthur's Seat, in solitary glory, the Scottish standard floating mag nificently to the breeze, as if prou dl y conscious of the occasion and the scene. Whilst over all there stretches a noble canopy brilliant with the ever shifting splendours of a fine autumnal sky. But if the sight be so imposing from the lower ground, where the view is of necessity broken and dis turbed, what must it be from the higher ground opposite ! There, on the extreme left, the view embraces entire the royal turrets of Holyrood. Traversing the entervening space, you are attracted by the brilliant uniforms of field officers upon their chargers, whose swift career scarcely for a moment hides an immense gallery erected at the further edge of the area, covered with festoons of laurel, and crowded with fair women in every shade and variety of dress. Again and again you sweep with your glass along the well-filled benches, where all that is fascinating may be seen, till, tired with very excess of beauty, y ou gra d ua ll y l et your vision repose on scenes to the farthest right —scenes which History has made sacred and Genius immortal. But you return by-and-by to attend to the more immediate spectacle of the day, and the adjuncts of a great military tableau present themselves. You have entered tl3a ground perhaps about one o'clock, and already you see a considerable body of volun teers in position in front of you and to either side. , There, in the eastmost quarter, the bright scarlet of the Fifeshire Mounted Rifles contrasts with the more sable uniforms which form the dress of the greatest portion of the assembled corps ; as you scan the extendea line, scarlet shakos of an occa sional company of engineers, or the red stripes dis played on blue or grey or green uniforms, together with the order and erect attitude preserved by the various groups you look at, convince you that you are in presence of a large military force. But, if any doubt remained upon the subject, the constant march of other companies to the ground, most of them preceded by their respective bands playing lively martial airs, by-and-by convince you that the army you are looking upon cannot number lass than twenty thousand men. Even the circum stance which gives you the most annoyance, and might appear to the superficial observer to be the only fault that can be charged to the weather, ap pears, on second thoughts, to complete the picture. The clouds of dust, which at intervals sweep be tween you and the object of your view, aptly enough represents the smoke of battle, or gives the idea always associated with an enormous array of marching men. Whatever previous labour and anxiety those who are engaged in preparing for a military spectacle may experience, the best proof that they have suc ceeded is that the spectator should have as little idea of theseas possible when the review takes place. Who could imagine from the appearance of yon 20,000 volunteers the endlessly minute labour im plied in the presence of every one of them ? Or who could infer from the general aspect of that great display—the ease , and celerity of th e movements -- the fitness with which every part seemed adapted— and the smoothness with which the whole passed off —the difficulties and contingencies which had to be anticipated and provided for ? It is to the credit of those on whom devolved the duty of arranging the proceedings that it was not till we left the ground that the reflection ever occurred at all. It is the best compliment that can be paid them ; and it is the simple truth. From the time when the Fife shire Mounted Rifles, headed by the Earl of Rosalyn, first " marched past" till the last Glasgow battalion under Lieut,-Col. Scarlett saluted her Majesty, there was nothing to suggest the previous exertions either of officers or men, and as little the immense exertions of those who were in general charge of the spectacle. The former were for the most part men who had been the greater part of their lives accustomed to occupations veryfar removed from the occupation of the soldier. To many of them it must have been a serious toil indeed, considering the shortness of the time over which their military eda• cation extended, and the limited intervals they could be expected to devote to it, and considering also how positively adverse their usual avocations were to the alacrity, and still more the precision, of military movements. Yet it was most astonish ing to observe the ease which characterised the great majority of the volunteers. We heard mili tary men express themselves thus. And although the well-known courtesy and generous character of that profession might be supposed to incline them to look with a more lenient eye than if they had been judging " regulars," it was impossible for an ordinary observer not to agree in the highly favourable award. Occasionally indeed, even an untrained eye could detect a false step or an awk ward gait, but the occasion was comparatively very rare, and the general feeli,ngsvoafs,ththeastpbeucttatfoorrs,thees materials of which far fact a o s f k w n e o w e o i n u g l d b g e f a o t r h e e h r a i n t d the the volunteer army is composed, they could hardly have noticed a difference between the review yes terday and any other. It i s about two years since the first volunteer corps was formed—a majority of the corps on the ground yesterday have probably not been in existence half that time, and a few of them a great deal less even than that—judge, then, what reason there is to be proud and thankful that on a call so sudden, and with a training so short, a country which for extent and population is the least among the nations, can furnish a force so nu merous and so effective ! As you stood and saw each minute 200 men march past—and so many, in their stalwart proportions, their erect bearing, and their light step, models of manly beauty—and thought of the holy cause which for the time had made them soldiers, was it possible not to feel the glow of a generous enthusiasm and thought that our national poet's prayer was more than answered who asked that— Howe'sr crowns and coronets be rent, A virtuous populace might rise the while, To form a wall of fire around our much-loved isle. Yes, we say, more than answered, a nd surely better answered, whe n we remem ber that both the " Crown and th e C oronet " were there, to share with the " populace" one common senti ment, and to swear one common oath for the grand old historic land that is the mother of us all. It was, indeed, something to remember for ever, when those twenty thousand men advanced in line to salute their Queen, and when she stood up before that vast assemblage to receive the spon rung ou t the as the rush t fi a n n a e l o e u h s e homage h o t f y t a h n e d h eoavretrswwhhe overwhelming of many waters. There she st oo d i n the midst of that countless throng of human beings, and if the a is sight ever ht t , o Iblere she sto o d—h er se x, the apparent emblem of feeble ness ; and yet a Qeeen seen on earth it w as v n e o r, th an er d s office the title of all th at is powerful; and such e surely moral s i u n b s l u im ch e g. en—in the lur e and devotion of her subjects — a cl h e u i e • more lli e p p o a w g e e r a f n u t l i t s h O a e l ven while we write the countless thousands that an hour thronged the streets are still. Another ... day, and scarcely will there be a trace of yesterday's .. excitement left. A . few more days, and things will subside into their usual quiet andeveryday channel. But the dura tion of such events is not counted by the clock or told upon the bells. They are landmarks in history; they guide the current of events ; they leave their impress upon all time. Not a man of that twenty thousand, nor of all that ten times twenty thousand who came to see it, but will carry with him its in fluence wherever he goes. In the workshop and the counting-house, in the hut and in the hall, its re membrance will be cherished while he lives, and handed down as a sacred tradition when he is no more.
