MARVELLOUS INTELLIGENCE AND MEMORY OF TILE SHEEP-DOG.—One of these dogs performed a feat which would have been, excusably, thought impossible, had it not been found to be true. A large flock of lambs took a sudden alarm one night, as sheep are wont, unaccountably, and dashed off among the hills in three different directions. The shepherd tried in vain to recal the fugitives ' - but find ing all his endeavours useless, told his dog that the lambs had all run away, and then set off himself in search of the lost: flock. The remainder of the night was passed in fruitless search, and the shepherd was returning to his master to report his loss. However, as he was on the way, he saw a number of lambs standing at the bottom of a deep ravine, and his faithful dog keeping watch over thew. He immediately concluded that his dog had discovered ono of the three bands which had started off so inopportunely in the darkness ; but on visiting the recovered truants he dis covered, to his equal joy and wonder, that the entire flock was collected in the ravine, without the loss of a single lamb. How that wonderful dog had performed his task, not even his master could conceive. It may be that the sheep had been accustomed to place themselves under the guidance of the dog, though they might have fled from the presence of the shepherd, and that when they felt them selves bewildered in the darkness, they were quite willing to entrust themselves to their well-known friend and guardian. The memory of the shepherd's dog is singularly tenacious, as may appear from the fact that one of these dogs, when assisting his master for the fi rst time, in con ducting some sheep from Westmoreland to London, expe rienced very great difficulty in guiding his charge among the many cross-roads and by-ways that intersected their route. But on the next journey he found but little hm drence, as he was able to remember the points which had caused him so much trouble on his former expedition, and to profit by the experience which he had thus gained.-- Thu tledge's Illustvated _Natural History, by the _Rev. J. G, ood. [ADVERTISEMENT.] -- Holloway's Ointment and Pills are surprising reWedies for bad legs and all kinds of wounds. The sale of those invaluable medicines in every part of the world is the most convincing proof of their efficacy in curing bad legs, old wounds, scrofula, and diseases of the skin. Thoisands of persons suffering from these dreadful maladies have been cured by their use after every other means had failed ; and it is a fact, beyond all doubt, that there is no case, however obstinate or long standing, but may shortly be cured by these wonderful medicines; there ' fore the afflicted should immediately try them. No sore, ' from the merest skin abrasion to the foulest ulcer, can long 1 resist their purifying and curative powers. . . . . . • 1 .- (.....

PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. LORD RARDTVICKE ON THE NAVY AND THE PRESS. At the annual meeting of the West Cambridge shire and South Herta Agricultural Society, held yesterday at Kneesworth, the Earl of Hardwicke, in responding to the toast of " The Army and Navy," said, when he addressed them last year he intruded upon them a speech which it appeared did not altogether give satisfaction because it was too long —in reference to the toast comprehending the navy he meant. (No, no.) However, he had at that time a desire to fulfil an object which he had in view, and which at last he had fully attained—that of inducing the public to look into matters connected with the navy—(loud cheers)—and he was glad to say that, through the valuable assistance of the press, they had been induced to look into a matter of vital importance to the interests of the country. (Enthusiastic cheering.) Yes ; and what he had stated proved in the course of time to be true. (Hear, hear.) In fact, he had understated the case. The public had at length strengthened the hands of Parliament until they had been enabled to carry out a great object, that of placing the naval defences of the country on a Safe and proper footing. (Loud cheers.) The present Government, he was glad to ',say, had not been less sensible, for they had determined, he believed, to do all in their power towards improving and strengthening the navy of England. (Loud cheers.) In future years, then—in the ordinary process of time—if, by the blessing of God, they remained at peace, they might be in the position to assert their ancient supremacy over oceans in a right, true, and proper spirit. (Hear.) In returning thanks for that branch of the service with which he was more im mediately connected, what he wished to impress upon them was, that he was deeply sensible of the honour ever conferred and the compliment ever paid-br - dm - fru - Ty — national toast which included the navy. Although the toast might be said to partake of the character of formality, it still inter ted the public—it still interested the gen emen who at tended public meetings so far as to induce them, by the recollection of their services, to honestly express their high opinion and appreciation of those services, and to honour the character of the service particularly alluded to. (Hear, hear.) Feeling that they (the navy) were held as the pride of the nation, they were desirous to equal in their conduct the sentiments which were generally expressed to wards them in the exhibition of their prowess, their fearlessness of danger, and their courage at all times and under all circumstances. (Cheers.) England clothed her navy with high honours, and Eng land's sons were anxious to continue to deserve them. (Tremendous cheering.) Me might, with pro ppety and gratitude, advert to the magnificent ser vices rendered by the gallant Captain M'Clintock, who had so nobly placed before the'country the re sults of the great expedition in which he had been engaged—the close of that series of expeditions which the country had undertaken, and which had ended in the solution of a vast geographical pro blem. (Hear, hear.) His lordship having entered at some further length into a description of the 111(C1intock Artie Expedition, in which the fate of the . gallant Franklin had been learned, had fervent hopes that even yet some tidings might be heard of the missing men. Some of the last tokens of their remains were found south of King William's Island, near the estuary which leads to the Great Fish River. In that quarter there was plenty of game, and that, added to the intercourse still to be had with the Esquimaux, led him to hope for the best. (Hear, hear.) He fervently trusted ,that some day or other tidings might be heard_of them. As regarded the service to which"he had more especially alluded, he deethed that they were in the highest degree indebted to the gallant. M'Clintock for the successful results of his expedition. (Hear.) He (the Earl of Hard wicke) would allude to another important point— the recent mishap in China. He would abstain from saying one word as to the generalship or the admiralship which attended that expedition, himself knew nothing of the country, - he had never. seen the ground, and consequently could form no correct estimate as to the circumstances attending the affair. But he could form an estimate of the daring, the courage, the resolution, and the great bravery manifested by those who were engaged in it. (Cheers.) There had been the same exhibi- . don of intrepidity—the same gallant bearing—the same indomitable courage shown as that which had characterised every instance in which the arms of our brave countrymen had been called into play in whatever quarter of the world. (Loud cheers.) The gallant leader in that expedition—the brave commander-in-chief in that affair—had been se verely wounded. (Hear, hear.) Whenever they saw their intrepid officers gallantly performing their duties under fire, careless of all but the per formance of their duties and their country's honour, they felt bound to offer them their gra titude, their admiration, and their esteem. (Cheers.) Englishmen never deserted those who so gal lantly served them, even though they might be unsuccessful in their efforts. The greatest naval man the world ever saw was once defeated — Nelson, at Teneriffe, where he was severely woundednay, where he lost his arm ; but if Nelson had not been supported by his country subsequently, if his country had not upheld him by their gene rous sympathy, they would never have seen the hero of a Trafalgar or a Nile. (Loud cheers.) He had no point worthy of notice to offer them He had endeavoured to use words, and to illustrate views in the manner which he deemed most con genial to their feelings. He could Assure them, in conclusion, that the services to which they had called attention would at all times feel deeply sen sible of thO honour conferred upon them, and of the grateful notice which had been taken of them ; and they would ever feel anxious to fulfil the ex pectations which the public had entertained to wards them with reference to the defence and the honour of their country. (The noble lord sat down amidst loud cheers). IVEYHILL HOP FAIR. This fair was resumed on Thursday and continued yesterday with the sale of hops, and business com menced rather briskly. The general value and the extent of the demand for hops at this fair being now fully ascertained, both hop growers and salesmen evinced a disposition to make a reduction in the prices previously asked ; and buyers submitting to a moderate advance on prices made on hops at late country markets this reciprocal concession was productive of a steady demand and easy sale. Factors were disposed to break bulk and growers no longer insisted on buyers taking whole growths, and thus anything approaching monopoly exer cised by speculators and extensive buyers was re duced to a fair competition. London agents and factors were chiefly engaged in country rows, and ale brewers were represented in the Farnham hop row, selecting requisite samples for pale and other choice ales ; hop merchants also bought largely, and had many choice samples on sale. Surrey hops, as usual, obtained higher prices than the growth of any other county ; the singularity of this fact is worthy of remark. Surrey has no pretensions as a hop county—the adjoining county (Sussex) pro duces hops immeasurably in excess of the former ; and Kent, the admitted hop garden of England, more than doubles both the above counties, and is in the highest state of cultivation. Yet the pecu liarity of the soil in a small division of Surrey pro duces a sample of hops, which for colour and condition no other county can equal. The district in which these famed plantations are is in the vicinity of Farnham, some gardens being close to the village from which they take their name, " Farnhams." Before the close of the second day's fair for hops a large sale of this prodigious accu mulation of land produce was effected, and many gatherings of hop plantations were sold and re-sold to meet the convenience of buyers. Prices ran as follows : Sussex hops varied in price from 58s. to 665. per cwt. ; good useful qualities were sold at 60s. Kent samples ranged from 60s. per cwt. and upwards ; Wealds fetched 60s. to 70s. per cwt., and choicest pickings, 775. per ditto; Middle and East Kents, 90s. to 110 s. per cwt. Country hops realised 765. to 98s. per cwt. ; superior samples went still higher. Farnhams made on the average £5 to £6. per cwt., and crack gatherings even exceeded these figures. The fair remains open to-day (Saturday), but the chief of the business is over. A vast amount of business has been transacted. Hop growers have been firm in the prices asked. Kent growers have held over for Maidstone fair on Mon day next, and Hampshire and Surrey hop-planters look forward for Andover fair in this county (Hants), which is held on the 17th of November for the sale of hops. The cheese-fair remains open ; a moderate business has been done, but trade is grow ing dull. Several large strings of valuable cart colts have turned out unsold, and are in transit to Kent fairs. Weyhill annual fair will conclude this after noon, after occupying a whole week, during which an enormous amount of business has been done and a mint of money had changed hands, the value of hops alone forming no very contemptible item in the aggregate amount. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1859. "IL MAZZINI AND TILE KING OF SARDINIA. The following letter has been forwarded to us for publication : " To VICTOR EMMANIYFL, KING OF PIEDMONT. " Sire,—Amid the tumult of cowardly praises and servile adulation with which mercenary busybodies, ambitious up starts, and the born courtiers of every power are surround ing you, can youlear and comprehend the words of a true man who neither fears nor hopes in you, and who only de sires to live and die in peace with his own conscience ? Are you able to lend an ear, amid the premature adhesions of entire provinces and the insidious flatteries of diplomacy, to the solitary voice of an individual who has no merit ex cept that of loving Italy with an immense and disinterested love ; and will you say to yourself, Perhaps from that voice I may learn the truth ?' If so, then hear me, although ad dressing you I can only speak truth, or that which my rea- son and my heart tell me to be truth. Being a Republican in faith, I should, if I regarded morely the interests of my party, rejoice in every error which a king commits, as affording new ground for the condemnation of monarchy. Jut, because I love my country more than my party, andbecause you can, if you will, powerfully aid her to arise and conquer, I write to you. I write to you from Italian soil, where the persecu tion of a Government which prates of freedom while treat. ing with old Ducal severity the exiles who have taught it that word ; where the errors of a deluded people and the cold desertion of men now in power, who were once my friends, would almost compel me to believe that all feeling of a free conscience or a free future is dead in Italy. Yet, from the depths of that land once peopled with great souls, where the eye wanders from Dante's Rock to the remains of the patriotic defences erected by Michael Angelo, flows forth a mighty torrent of life which three centuries of sacerdotal and foreign tyranny have failed to quench, and_ which awaits the hour to reveal itself ; the concentrated, energetic, collective life of a people who were free and republican when the rest of Europe lay sunk in the darkness of feudalism ; which burst forth from time to time in volcanic outbreaks from Procida to Masaniello, from the Genoese insurrection of 1746 to the five days of Lombardy; and which shall one day engulf beneath the fulness of its waves all those wretched, emasculated, pigmy existences which now yen. ture to ape it. It is in the name of that life—the life of a people which is not yet but which shall be, the life, not of any particular Italian zone, but of Italy, which has its centre in Rome and pervades every portion of the country from Trento to Cape Passaro—that I this day address you. You, Sire, do not understand this life ; if you had understood it you would not have implored foreign aid for your enter prise. The courtiers who surround your throne purposely conceal it from you ; they know they would be unable to control it. The men of mediocre talent who were or are your ministers, and who study the secret of the third life of the nation in the pages written by Machiavelli upon its corpse, cannot reveal it to you. The diplomacy which has laid siege to your mind denies, because it quails before it. I under stand it because, born of the people, 1 have explored this hidden life in love, in grief, in the sacrifice of everything most dear, and with a soul pure from all selfish aims. " Sire, you are strong ; strong, if you only will to be so, in that life ; strong in all the invincible power which resides in a people of 26,000,000 united in one purpose ; stronger than any other prince now living in Europe, since no other could at the present time claim so much affection from his own nation as you could awaken by one word— Unity. You have not dared to utter that word. There fore you do not know what Italy can become, how much she can give you. The latent strength which that word, reso lutely pronounced, would call into action is unknown to you. "Italy is seeking for unity. She desires to constitute herself a nation united and free. God decreed this unity when he enclosed us between the eternal Alps and the eter nal sea. History has written " Unity" upon the walls of Rome; and the unitarian idea emanating from thence was so powerful that, overstepping the bounds of its own coun- try, it twice reduced all Europe to unity. The. slow labour of centuries has so much worn away those dissensions which invasion, colonisation, snd conquest had introduced among the families spread over our soil that, although enslaved and dismembered, our people now, perhaps more than any other, almost universally represents in its customs and ar rangements the sentiment of equality. The unity of Italy was the ideal of our great men, from Dante to Machiavelli, from Machiavelli to Alfieri. In the name of unity our boat and bravest have died for the last half century with a smile upon their faces, on the scaffold or sword in hand, from Messina to Venice, from Mantua to Sapri. In the name if tUnity we have—although deprived of means and influence, persecuted, and a hundred times defeated—initiated and maintained such a growing agitation in Italy as to make of the Italian question a European question, and to prepare for you and yours, Sire, the ground which now bears fruit for you in praises and in strength. Unity is the prayer, the passionate desire of all Italy. One country, one na tional banner, one single compact ; a seat among the nations of Europe; Rome for the metropolis—such is the creed of every Italian. "You spoke of independence. Italy roused herself and gave you 50,000 volunteers. But this was only half the problem. Speak to her of freedom and unity, and she will give you 500,000. Of what avail is independence to Naples, to Sicily, to half the Roman provinces ? More than 12 millions of Italians groanbeneath a local tyranny equal to that exer cised upon the Venetian territory by the foreigner. The priests and the police prohibit every free development of life. The galleys, the stick, the executioner, are the props of Government. What matters it to the miserable Peru gians, what matters i t to the victims inaples and Sicily, whether the power of Austria does or oges not extend be yond the Mincio ? And Venice ? And Rome ? Where is Italy without Rome ? There remain for the last ten years, like a wild beast couching on a noble corpse, 10,000 French men, also foreigners, and the Papal tyranny only exists by their aid. You have allied yourself with them. Your in dependence' does not protect the sanctuary of Italy. Ah, Sire I do not reproach Italy for having given you no more ; rather admire her for having thrown at your feet, without the shadow of a compact, the lives of 60,000 young men in the face of a programme so mutilated, so contemptible, and so illusory as that which you placed before them. " And remember this—in spite of the poverty and the contradictions of that programme, so great was the faith in you, Sire, so powerful the stimulus of prolonged suffering and prolonged hope ; so deep the conviction that Piedmont, having once unsheathed her sword, would not be content to stop half way, that Italy was ready for much more. But those who surround you did not desire it ; they trembled before the people ; they feared that increased action would give it increased consciousness of its rights, and that you would learn to understand it. Do you know, Sire, with what artifices, with what persistence in cowardly teaching, they extinguished for five days every generous pas sion, every spark of enthusiasm, every noble self-sacrificing impulse in that people whom they sought to call into life ? how those who spoke in your name taught, as the only virtue, discipline, inertia, as if nations could by means of Jesuitical maxims educate themselves for great deeds ? how we were systematically calumniated with the masses, we who had taught them, in the name of unity— aye, of Royal unity, provided you created it—the virtue of struggles, of sacrifice, of knowing how to die-Lthe certain pledge of life ?—how the journals who espoused your cause, profaned by insult, if not by brutal suspicions, the bald enterprise of the men of February, 1853, the protest of Bentivegna, the lonely grave of Pisacane ? Do you know that your agents refused the initiative which the people of Milan offerred to assume a little before the commencement of the war, when, however, the Austrians were few in number, and might have been taken at a disadvantage? Do you know that they said to Sicily, when she was pre pared to rise and uneasy about the delays during the war— ' No ; wait for the signal ;' and the signal, for secret rea sons, was never given. The insurrection of the South, in creasing the ardour of the conflict in the North, would have established by a single blow the unity of the movement, established in your, name the unity of Italy, and none among the manoeuvrers who pressed around you desired or ever dared to desire unity. Meantime this poor people was learning not to believe in itself, to lose all initiatory power, to expect salvation not from its own courage, but solely from organised battalions, artillerymen, and generals-in. chief. And we saw the effects of this. But if, from the inertness of many, and the hesitation of all, you were to infer, Sire, that this people had in reserve no other life than that which it revealed during the last few months, you would prove that you know nothing of nature or of history, and show that you had forgotten the events of 10 or 11 years back. The manifestations of life in a people are in strict proportion to the object they propose to them selves and the daring of their directing chiefs. " Sire, you must in nowise forget this. You did not frater nise with the people of Italy, neither did you call upon it to fraternise with you. Seduced by the miserable policy of a Minister who preferred the arts of Lodovico the Moor to the part of a regenerator,you refused the arm of our people, and in an evil hour you invoked, without any necessity, the weapons of a foreign tyrant as allies in the enterprise of our liberation. I say without necessity, because if you had desired the Lombardo-Venetians to rise suddenly, when Austria was in Italy weak and unprepared, and had held yourself in readiness to follow them up, they (the Lombardo - Venetians) would, without doubt, have re-conquered their territory between the Alps and the sea ; and nothing would have remained for you to do in order to consummate the war but to advance, disregarding the remnants of the hos tile forces concealed in the fortresses, upon the heights of the Tyrol and of Upper Venetia. In that hour, for which you yet owe compensation to Italy, you lost nine-tenths of the forces which the country was prepared to give you ; you lost those men—and they are more numerous than the busybodies care to tell you—who, like ourselves, do not blindly adore the idol of power and will not sacrifice their conscience to a lie; you lost all those who when, they saw the immense preparation for a regular war said to them- I selves, They have no need of us.' You lost the people who drew back in diffidence, and thought 'the King will not have us.' You lost the consecration of that holy enthu ' siasm, that sacred wrath, that sacred boldness which creates victory. You lost the all-powerful aid of revolution, with out which unity in Italy will never be established. Finally, Sire, when you concluded that ill-fated alliance, you snatched from the cause of Italy that glorious halo of vir tue which made it dear to God end man, to associate it with vice and egotism; you made it descend from the height of a principle to the depth of an interest, and of the crooked ambition of others; you committed the work of liberty to the guardianship of despotism'; you took from the enterprise every sanction of morality you extended your liberating hand to the contaminating, ouch of a man whose hand is dripping with the best blood of Rome and of Paris ; and as to yourself, Sire, you have given to yourself a master in the place of an ally. "No, Sire, do not reproach Italy with coldness; do not mistrust that' land which, although enslaved and dismem bered, has yet known how, through the constancy of her endeavnurs and the pertinacity of her martyrs, to make herself the centre of every European question—who, when for a short time re-awakened, was able in Lombardy to ex terminate in five days an army of 75,000 men ; able in Rome to resist for two months with 14,000 men, collected beneath a national banner, more than 30,000 French soldiers; able for 18 months in Venice, with the weapons of improvised soldiers, to resist the ik.ustrians, aided by hunger and dis. ease ; able to fight, as she has fought, with the arms of the common people only, at Brescia, Bologna, Palermo, and Messina. You never desired her aid. " Sire, will you have her? Will you have her sublime with enthusiasm, faith, and action ? Will you have her in such strength that diplomacy shall stop short, terrified that every adverse design shall be destroyed before her ? " Then, dare.. . " Pm:lexica is the virtue of normal times and conditions. Audacity is the genius of strong inindii in difficult times. The people follow it, because it affords them proofs that they will not be betrayed in the hour of peril. Faith begets faith. When the time is ripe for an undertak ing the secret of victory is in the power of the initiative. If we are now, as if under the influence of a spell, follow- ing the fortunes and the will of France, it is because half a century ago Danton summed up the initiative in the word ‘l'audace,' and an assembly constituted itself the living incarnation of that word before all Europe in arms. Tho inviolable unity of France dates from that day. Sire, Italy knows you to be valiant in the field, and ready for honour's sake to throw away your life. Sire, the day in which you are ready to throw away your Crown yox may assume the Crown of Italy. Italy knows you to be valiant in the field. But, although this may be a rare virtue in Kings, the lowest of your volunteers can boast the same ; and life for him is sanctified by the love of mother, sister, or friend, which is fur him as the crown of his being. Italy must now know you to be brave in council, powerful in will to do away with every obstacle, strong in that moral courage , which once a duty recognised, a high undertaking to be fulfilled, makes of it a guiding star and follows its course bravely and unflinchingly without re ceding either through threats or flattery. Yen can, I be lieve, show yourself such, and- therefore I write to you ; still, Sire, as yet you have not thus shown yourself. " Sire, you have accepted the Villafranca peace, and you have refused—because the acceptance submitted to the will of foreign Governments is forbidden—the votes of some millions of Italians, who, believing that they were giving themselves to unity, gave themselves to you. "The first act threw Italy at the feet of the foreigner ; the second destroyed Italian right for the benefit of a foreign principle, and the man and tho principle are both incarna tions of despotism. " Sire, so many flatterers dispute with each other how to destroy the germs of good which are in you that from me, at least, you shall hear the truth. " The acceptance of the Villafranca peace would have been the act of a coward had it not been yours. Praise given to your father, Sire, can hardly sound ill in your cars, although it Implies a reproof to you. You have yet time to give it a solemn and glorious reply. Your father would not have signed that peace. He also wanted in his disturbed and fitful life energy of purpose and faith in the people of Italy. But when, after the fatal rout of Novara, he saw that nothing remained for him but to reign as a conquered King, and sign his name to humiliating conditions, ho him self indignantly threw away his crown and turned his steps into voluntary exile. You signed the humiliating agree ment, coming out victorious from three—from four battles. You signed an agreement which will betray Venice, Italy, your promises, and those men who upon faith of _them had hastened from all parts of Italy to fight round you ; an agreement that was imposed upon you, imposed by the foreigner, imposed by him who, coning as your ally, trans formed himself at once into an insolent master, imposed upon you without your being allowed to discuss it, imposed upon you by a dirty trick from ono who held you for nothing in the matter, and incapable of resistance ; and as if you desired that Europe should see that you were more greedy of booty even than the honour you accepted—oh I the in sult both to her and you—Lombardy, to hold her as a fief from a foreign lord. Sire, no private gentlemen would have borne such an insult. I know not of what temper the souls of Kings are made ; but I know that if I were you I should never sleep without the image of poor sainted, heroic, be trayed Venice appearing to tne like a reproving sister ; nor could I ever review my troops, and see there, the volunteers from Perugia and Rome, without a blush of shame. " I say nothing of the conditional acceptance given to the central provinces. It is the sad consequence of the first act. You are no longer your own master. Having at Villafranca become tho vassal of Imperial France, you are obliged before you can give an answer to Italy to seek in spiration at Paris. " Sire, Sire in the name of honour, in the name of Italian pride, break the odious compact. Are you not afraid that history will say, Ho traded with the enthusiasm of the Italians to feed his own dominions ?' tt sire II do not believe it. I believe you—and I wrote it three years ago when I was condemned to death for hav ing endeavoured to aid with Genoese arms the attempt of Pisacene in the south—to be better than your Ministers and the political busybodies who surround you. I believe that there is a spark of Italian pride and love for Italy ani mating you. But if this be true—if what I felt when read ing your simple spontaneous replies to some flattering de putation is not the delusion of a fond hope, have you not sufficient energy to live your own life ? Shake off, in God's name, the crowd of pigmy councillors of cowardice, as the lion disperses by ono shake of his mane the insects whioh swarm around him. Why did you assume the dictatorship in the beginning of the year ? In order to impose silence and petty persecutions upon men who, like me, dare to speak the truth to you ? Our fathers assumed the dictatorship in order to save the country from the menace of the foreigner. Have her, provided that you are her liberator; but begin 'by liberating yourself from men who betray Italian idea into the hands of the executioner of Rome, and from the impo tent crowd who imprison the thought of your soul in diplo matic artifices. " Sire 1 the Italian war is not ended—it is but begun. For you the victories of Lombardy ought to constitute only the first campaign. It is your task, in virtue of your given promises, to rekindle—that of Italy to maintain it to the end. " But it is not by gaining time that you can obtain the object. The 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 men that you may add to your army are nothing to what you lose by delay. Italy is being enervated by scepticism and discomfiture ; enthu siasm is fast dying out, diplomacy is spreading the germs of dissolution, questions are localising themselves, the move ment losing its national characteristics. " You ought to have rejected with indignation the agree ment of Villafranca. You ought to have said to Louis Napoleon, 'I do not break my promises.' You ought to have said to Italy, ' The foreign ally abandons us ; I con tinue the war alone, and I ask from the country the num ber of men thus withdrawn by the abandonment of his army.' " You did not do so, but there is yet time. Fraternize with the people—fraternize with, without fearing it, the revolution. By so doing you will find more help than suf ficient for the undertaking. The 120,000 regular soldiers which Piedmont w i nd the centre give to you, are a suffi cient nucleus to determine the general Italian insurrection, and from Italian insurrectionyou will draw another 120,000 of regular soldiers, and awhole people in arms to strengthen and facilitate the operations of the army, to flank in its movements, to cause a loss to the enemy in every step that he takes; to take from him at once both strength and cou rage. "An army, and the insurrection of a whole people, you can, Sire, you can soon have this ; but to have it one thing is necessary—to dare. Say to Louis Napoleon, ' I mistrusted Italy; therefore I accepted your peace, not mine. But Italy did not mistrust me ; and I feel the obligations which that trust imposes. I withdraw my acceptance. I will do, freed from every bond, that which God and my country in spire me to attempt. I ask of you only one thing—to ab stain from all interference in our affairs, and to leave Italy, as you promised, free to fulfil by her own exertions the work which you initiated with me. On this condition you will find me ever grateful, and Italy always the friend of France.' ‘, Say to the European Governments, You have de stroyed the old treaties of 1815 in Poland, in Belgium, in France, in the East, everywhere. The experience of the last 40 years has shown to you —and you have confessed it many times—that there is no peace possible in Europe without accepting the principle that every people shall itself settle its own internal affairs. We are preparing to do so. In the name of Italian right I ask you to leave us alone and free. Against Austria we ask aid only from our own swords ; only let no one aid her ; be the keepers of the geld, and render a tardy justice to the people from whom sprang, in a great measure, that civilization which adorns your own dominions.' " Say to the Italians, ' You have hailed me as the first soldier of your independence, and I will not betray the mis sion you have intrusted to me. There is no independence for slaves, nor possible strength for those divided among themselves. Be, then, a free and united people. Let victory close the long series of your martyrs since 1848 ; you have proved that the times are ripe for this. Rise now, one and all ; overthrow the artificial barriers which separate you, as I tear every old compact adverse to your unity. Free yourselves from all your oppressors, and wherever you shall see under the tricolour banner the shining blade of the sword I now unsheath thero rally around me. With God's help and yours I will never replace it in its sheath until in Rome your representatives shall dictate the com pact of love for the 26 millions who people our Italy. But, mark, I require from you, besides those I now count around mc, 200,000 armed men. I require the means necessary to maintain them in action. I require unlimited trust ; I re quire that you, in order to conquer, are ready, as I am, to die. Slaves or freemen, for us there, is no middle way.' " Sire, the Italians will be free and great. The day on which you utter such words as these parties will be extinct among us. Only two things will have life and name in Italy—the people and you, " Sire, what do you fear ? Austria P With the whole of Italy—because the language which I propose to you gives you Naples and Sicily—ranged under your banner ! With Hungary ready to rise and fraternize ? Do you fear Eng land ? England is with you, provided you are not with Louis Napoleon'. •Do you fear your ally ? Your ally de- scended into Italy, fraternizing with you, to -endeavour, by L patronising *a. noble cause, to win back a waning popula rity ; ho cannot now return and fight against it ; he cannot say to France, ' Yesterday I required your gold and the blood of your sons against Austria for Italy—to-day I re quire them for Austria against Italy.' "Your ally hastened the-peace beeettie he knew that his dominions were threatened by the German invasion ; that invasion still hangs, a perennial menace, over his--head: Yesterday he could, to further his own ends, play the part of the emancipator ; that of the tyrant is, except in France, henceforward forbidden him by Prussia, by Germany, by England, and by the tendencies which are once again be ginning to manifest themselves in France itself. "No ; the first war of Louis Napoleon will not be against you, Sire; it will be between him, England, and Germany. " But, Sire, why speak to you of things which are, or which ought to be, better known to you than to me f I call you, in the name of Italy, to a great undertaking, to one of those undertakings in which the strong man numbers his friends, not his enemies. I call you to ally yourself with 26 millions of Italians, masters, provided that they are united and led, of their own destinies. I call you to put yourself at the head of a national revolution which will find, if others ever attempt to repress it, alliances among all these people. who want a free country. I call you to an initiative that may become an European initiative. The half of Europe, Sire, will joyfully hail the uprising of Italy, as it hailed the uprising of the United States, of Greece, of every war, of every people, that desires to make of itself a nation, of every great providential fact ; the other half will draw back suspicious and fearful. Diplomacy, like the midnight spectre, looks threatening and gigantic to him who fears it; it dissolves itself in thin air before him who boldly approaches it. Dare, Sire ! Dismiss all who fear or suggest fear. Surround yourself with those whose life speaks firmness of principle, pure love for Italy, and strength of will. Give to the people a pledge of liberty ; give freedom to the press; to public associations, to public speech. The press, public associations, and meetings will create around you an enthusiasm, a ferment, from which you may draw a'l the strength you want. Liberty has no dangers, save for those who intend to betray her. "Forget fora little while that you are the King, to be the first citizen, the first armed apostle of the nation. Be great as the object . which God has put before you, sublime as duty, daring as faith. Will, and declare it; you win have all, and us among the first, with you. Go on, without looking to the right or to the left, in the name of eternal justice, eternal right, to the. Holy Crusade of Italy, and you will conquer with her. "And then, Sire, when in the midst of the applause of Europe and the delirious joy of the Italian people, and joy ful in the joy of millions, and blessed in the consciousness of having fulfilled a godlike work, you will ask the nation what post she assigns to him who hazarded his life and throne in order that she should be free and ono ; be it that you may wish to pass to eternal fame with posterity as the Life-President of the Italian Republic, or be it that the Royal dynastic idea may possess your mind, God and the nation will bless and accept you ; and I, a Republican, and ready to return and die in exile, to preserve pure and intact to the grave the faith of my youth, shall exclaim with my brother Italians ' President or King, may God bless you. and the nation for whom you have dared and conquered !' " Florence, Sept. 16. " JOSEPH MAZZINI." .AFFeIIRS OF ITALY. A letter from Turin, dated October 11, says : The conclusion of peace, although delayed by acci dental causes, may yet be regarded as a fact, and immediately about to be announced. The impor tunities with which the Sardinian Government is visited from Paris are such that it seems not to be prudent to persevere in any longer resistance to them. There are not wanting some persons who blame this deference on the part of our Goverment, and allege that it has not managed to obtain any important modification of the first article of the pre liminaries of Villafranca. In reality, the frontier line has been left, as I told you, precisely the same as it was marked out by the armistice. As for the debt charged upon Piedmont, Austria has certainly obtained a great deal, though it may seem but little compared with her strange and exorbitant demands. Ati any rate, the present Sardinian Government defends itself with this consideration, that King Victor Emmanuel receives Lombardy such as France chooses to hand it over to him, since it is to France that Austria has ceded it. This would not have happened if Count Cavour had not been re moved from the ministry. I believe I am accurately informed when I assert that he would have advised the King not t) accept Lombardy except on condi tion that this net should be preceded by the free vote of the population. You may well understand that th;s fact would have altered the character of the Conferences of Zurich, and would have invested Piedmont with an authority and a right which she does not at present enjoy. But the strategy adopted preparatory to arriving at the Villafranca preliminaries of peace was to deprive Count CAvour of power. It is, perhaps, useless to refer to these circumstances now, but as they belong to history, I have thought it worth while to mention them. The exemplary quiet and order of Central Italy have been unfortunately and culpably disturbed by the atrocious homicide of Count Anviti. But if the iniquities, the provocations, and the imprudence of a wicked instrument . of tyranny could diminish the guilt of those who immolated him, without trial and mercilessly, to popular vengeance, this would be the case. He was the most shameless and the most odious satellite of all the blackguards of that Caligula in duodecimo, the late Dake of Parma, Carlo 111. Nevertheless, Parma would not now have to deplore, along with all Italy, the commis sion of such a misdeed, but that all organisation of a police force was lacking, and ever since the hor rible times of the late Duke the people have been urged by despair to defend themselves by the agency of the secret societies, and to arm them selves with daggers, to one which the Duke him self fell a victim. The effects of all this could not disappear in one moment, and the populace of the city could not forge; all at once the habit which had been imparted to them of witnessing revolting scenes of violence and torment. Zustice will, however, be done. Yesterday evening the dictator Farini arrived at Parma, in order to make speedier and more ener getic arrangements. France might therefore have abstained from passing such a bitter though indirect censure on the government of Parma as she did by publishing in her semi-official journals an announce ment that if the crime were not promptly punished, her representative, Cavaliere Paltrinieri, had orders to withdraw. I cannot tell you how much public opinion has been agitated bythe sad event at Parma, and, in general, by the inactivity of which the pre sent ministry are accused with respect to Central Italy. If lam to judge from the signs which seem to me per6epticle, some course will quickly be de cided upon ; and the Sardinian troops would al ready have entered Partna, if Commendatore Rat tezzi had been present at the last cabinet council, but he has been confi ne d t o hi s b e d f or severa l d ays by indisposition. The times are becominr , difficult, and it is to be h o p e d th a t th e courage which they require will not be wanting. The clergy here be have quietly so f a r, th oug h the circular letters des patched from Rome to the bishops throughout Europe command them to get up a general levee de boucliers, and you have doubtless read the curious pastorals and protests of many of the French bi shops. The greatest impression has been produced here by the publication of Monseigneur Dupanloup, who, as a Sovoyard, is a born subject of King Victor Emmanuel's, yet speaks of him in the most irreverent manner possible. The Piedmontese and other Italians read his letter out of mere curiosity, then fold up the paper, and shrug their shoulders. We shall see whether it will be received with the same good sense in France. ~G~2y~~ d f ~--- • • t WILLS AND c. 14,1.4 , 1 j a The will and codicil of the R ig, le Murray, Earl Cathcart, K.C.8., werazikiV7l London Court of Probate on the lbthi,?-r— -by Capt.

DISCOVERY OF A CRYPT IN CHRIST CHURCH, HANTS. It may be of interest to our readers to be ac quainted with a curious discovery lately ma d e a t Christchurch, Hants. The noble priory church at that place ranks in size with the cathedrals of Glas gow and St. Patrick's, while it exceeds those of Wells Oxford, Bristol, Manchester, Bath, Ripen, and Car lisle: The nave and transepts were built by the architect of the.,nave of Durham, Bishop Flambard, while. Dean of Twineham. A crypt has long been known to exist under the south transept, but a similar building under the north wing has only re cently been laid open during the progress of the restoration set on foot ny the energetic curate, the Rev. Z. Nash, and conducted under the superintend ence of the well-known architect, Mr. B. Ferrey, of London. The crypt is apsidal,• measures 30rt. by 12ft., and is 9ft..7in. high. The vault is supported by two broad arches, resting on pilasters with rounded edges. At the east end the diagonal ribs spring from short pillars with simple bases and capitals. The walls are 7ft. thick, and pierced on the south and west by loops ; the north-east splay having a stair-like graduation. On the south side are two ambries. In the east wall a door of a much later date, once fitted with folding doors, opens upon three steps, which are closed by a wall. It is not certain whether they led up into the yard or formed the approach to a secret lecher and recep tacle for sacred vessels. The apse in the story above was shorn away to give place to two decorated chapels built by the Montacutes, Earls of Salisbury. But one remarkable circumstance is connected with the opening of the crypt—the discovery of about 1,500 human bones laid with great regularity and care. The crypt of the Lady Chapel at Hereford was designed to be a carnary ; and there were char nel-houses at Worcester and Norwich serving as similar repositories. Under the chancel of Hythe Church, in Kent, there remains still a large collec tion of.bones. In Switzerland '° ossuaires" are found in the canton of Appenzel, and at Stettin is a bone-house attributed to the year 1,111, a date contemporaneous with the probable period of the construction of the crypt at Christchurch. The Swiss bone-houses were the receptacles of skulls and bones Which, after a certain period, were disin terred to make room for other burials. The priory church has fallen, in the course of years, into a state of dilapidation which requires immediate attention. A committee Las kern formed to effect the necessary repairs, and if supported by the inhabitants of the county and those interested in church architecture, to carry out a restoration not inferior to the works accomplished in the neigh bouring minsters of Romsey, Sherborne, and Wim borne. The expenses are estimated at X 5,000 in order to make drains, to repair the outer walls, roofs, buttresses, and windows, and to restore the carved stonework of the nave, aisles, transepts, and north porch. Such works in France are under the care of the Government; in this country they are dependent on the voluntary offerings of the people. THE POTA TOE EPIDEMIC. We are afraid (says the Manchester Guardian) that as regards a very large tract in potatoe cul ture in this part of the kingdom the disease this year will be found to be as fatal in its ravages as in almost any year. Indeed many of the growers compare the state of their potatoes at the present moment with what they remember of the year 1846, and pronounce them as bad, if not worse, than in that year. From an intelligent culti vator, who has personally examined the crops and in quired of the largest growers in the tract of North Cheshire, extending from Sale and its vicinity over the townships of Ashton-on-Mersey, Carrington, Partington ' Warburton, and Lymm, we derive the following facts :—The statement of a considerable farmer at Lymm is that those potatoes which he has got up are rotting fast, and those growing emit that peculiar baesmell, especially at night, which is characteristic of the disease. .one of the largest • farmers in the neighbourhood of War burton states that his potatoes are now in a worse condition than he has ever known them since the great year of the disease (1846), and his anticipations are that before the winter is over, from the general failure of the crop potatoes will be a guinea a load. At Partington, a considerable grower says he never saw potatoes in a worse condi tion. even in " the bad year" (1846). The two kinds which have up to this time proved the best and soundest are the flukes and Pollitt's seedlings ; but even of these on the average about one-third is bad. At Carrington one farmer states that fully half his potatoes are rotten. Of the kinds named,;Lady Greys and radicals, he does not ex pect to save many. He corroborates what has been already stated as to the better condition of flukes and Pollitt's seedlings, and the proportion in which they are diseased. Another farmer in that neigh bourhood says that his Lady Greys, radicals, and pink eyes, are more than half diseased ; his flukes and Pollitt's seedlings are bad in a much smaller proportion. A third farmer in Carrington, on Fri• day last, opened the pots in which he had stored, af find f rn o d r t t nhi winterrgehe tul loads p ea r , d e as o i d o f us t 00 l u y hni , 4 . nd poo o tr r at ti 10 6 5: sal in ni a o d tn s h he o e f we p ho o uot whole. A t s A sentfo u a r t m h anto farmer a in this township, i gupsoin eseed on p potatoes t 0 Thursday es; last, and after digging all day the man could only get as many sound ones as 'he could put in a sack and carry home on his back. Another considerable grower on Sa turday last opened a pot in - which 50 or 60 loads of pink eyes hadbeen stored a fortnight before for seed next year, and only 21 or 22 loads proved sound, the rest had gone into a brown rot, a more advanced stage of which is that the tuber is covered with raised white pocks, and then putrefaction ensues. In Ashton-on-Mersey last week a farmer dug up a field of potatoes of the sort called Protestants, and found more than half of them diseased. His flukes were better, probably not more than one-third being diseased. In one field at Sale, of a crop of radicals, fully one-half were gone. It will be seen by this evidence, collected on the spot, that the present potato crop is affected with the disease to a very large extent over the surface of country indicated; that the sorts which have suffered most from the ravages of the epidemic are Lady Greys, pink eyes, radicals, or white radicals, snowballs (which though not mentioned above, suffer in the proportion of about one-half), and Protestants. Hitherto fluke s and Pollitt's seedlings have escaped with less injury; but as these are later sorts, fears are entertained that as winter advances they too will suffer in larger proportion. ----- GEOLOGY OF NEW ZEALAND.—The Government of New Zealand have caused to be printed in their Gazette the lecture on the geology of the province of Auckland, by Dr. Hochstetter, geologist, on board the Austrian frigate Novara, and member of the scientific expedition. of that vessel.
