Ili NAVY. The gunboat Weazel, Lieutenant W. Howorth, having had her bilge piece repaired, was taken out of No. 3 dock at Keyham, Plymouth, on Tuesday, and placed alongside the depot to complete with fuel. The screw steamship Donegal, 101, Capt. Broad head, left Hamoaze on Tuesday for. Plymouth Sound. Two seamen belonging to her were se verely injured by the fall of a cask which slipped from the slings while being hoisted on bolrd ; one has both legs broken. Her Majesty's screw steamship Wrangler, Licut Commander R. G. Douglas, Flag Lieut. to Vice- Admiral Harvey, in temporary command, yesterday shipped for Woolwich Arsenal her two Armstrong guns and materials for experimental firing at sea, and this morning, calling at Sheerness on her way down. The paddlewheel steam vessel Firefly, master Commander Taylor, is ordered to be got ready at Woolwich, for service in the Mediterranean, to re lieve the Tartarus, Commander A. L. Mansell, about to be docked at Malta. The iron paddlewheel steam vessel Weser, 6, Com mander H. J. Raby (V.C.), was yesterday inspected at Woolwich by the Commodore Superintendent of the yard, the Hon. Sir J. It. Drummond, C. 8., and proceeded to Greenhithe to adjust compasses for sea, her destination being the River Plate. On account of her depth, she has been relieved of her guns, which will be conveyed in some other ship. The steamship Thunder, of 1,000 tons burden, at presens at Deptford, has been taken up by the War Department and numbered as a transport for the conveyance of guns and ammunition from Woolwich, and barrack stores, bedding, &c., from th`eTower. The following ships are also chartered :—The Men tor, the Celerity, the Sir G. Seymour, and the Ida. A number of naval officers assembled yesterday on board the Princess Royal, 91, screw, Captain T. Baillie, in Portsmouth harbour, to open an inquiry in connexion with the late serious disturbance by a portion of her crew. The Simoom troopship, Commander J. Cook, will be inspected by the military authorities at Ports mouth this morning, and is expected to embark her troops, &c., for China on Saturday next. The Vulcan screw troopship, Commander Strode, at Portsmouth, is ordered to prepare for foreign service, supposed to be China. Her officers and crew were yesterday exercised at the working of Cun ningham's patent topsails, with which she has just been fitted. The exercise comprised setting topsails close-reefed, shaking out reefs, and setting whole topsails; taking in reefs, close reefing, lowering on the cap, and loosing sails to dry; clewing up and furling, the latter, of course, performed in the ordinary method. Great interest was manifested in the exercise by a number of naval officers who wit nessed it from the dockyard. The yards were han dled with remarkable facility from the commence ment to the close, when from a close-reefed topsail, with the yards on the cap, the sail was unrolled and loosed to dry without raising the yard. The Thetis, Prussian frigate, was towed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday to have her defects repaired. The crew of the Algiers, 91, screw, Capt. George D. O'Callaghan, was paid wag es up to six months yesterday at Spithead, under the superintendence of Capt. George T. Gordon, of her Majesty's ship Asia, and the port watch granted leave ashore. The Meander store-frigate, Commander Sir M. M'Gregor, sailed from Spithead yesterday for Ascension. The Bacchante, 51, screw, has been undocked at Portsmouth and placed in the steam basis to receive her machinery, &c. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—James L. Cavenaugh, second master to the Cumberland, for the Alacrity ; Selwyn S. Sugden, second master to the Rhadamanthus ; William Eames, chief engineer to the Asia, for ser vice in the Victoria; James M'lntyre, assistant engineer of the Imperieuse, Jeremiah P. Lloyd, assistant engineer of the Nile, and Thomas Burnett, of the Asia, promoted to the second class; Edward Judge, third class assistant engineer, confirmed to the Surprise ; William C. Hilder, third class assis tant engineer, confirmed to the Janus ; Thomas Jeans, third class assistant engineer, confirmed to the Fury, and Willi tm Inglis, (b), third class assis tant engineer, confirmed to the Mersey. TILE SOCIETY OF AItTS AND THE EXHIBITION 01? 1862. The first ordinary meeting of the 106th session of this society was held last evening within their hall, John-street, Adeiphi. The attendance was nume rous. The chair was taken at 8 o'clock by Sir T. Phillips, F.G.S. The CHAIRMAN, after numerous applications for admission to the membership of the society and other routine business had been proceeded with by the secretary, rose, and after alluding to the time honoured custom of the society that the session should be opened by . an address from the chairman of the council, acquainting members with the policy which the council designed to follow during the ensuing session, proceeded as follows :—Although the period which has elapsed since the close of our last session is brief we haveto mourn the loss of men who have shared the labours and extended the in fluences of the society, who were eminent for their scientific knowledge and distinguished for the works they had achieved and the reputation they had gained. The first in order as well as the senior in years, was Andrew Ross, distinguished by his con tributions to optical science and by improvements which he introduced in the construction of telescopes, microscopes, and photographic lenses. Mr. Ross contributed largely to the transactions of the society, and received on several occasions the thanks of the society and various medals. Isambard Brunel had inherited from his distinguished father a name illus trious for the successful application of scientific principles to the advancement Of mechanical arts, and though the son's life was terminated at a compara tively early age he had won for himself a reputa tion among the foremost in,P..l a generation re markable for the grandeur, the extent, and import ance of the works they had accomplished, and for the genius and perseverance with which the re sources of science had been employed in the tri umph over natural obstacles. Scarcely had the grave closed over Brunel than we were called on to mourn the loss of Robert Stephenson, one of our vice-pre sidents, the only surviving son of George Stephen son, that self-taught genius whom we regard as the creator of the present railway system, to the rapid growth of which the son has so largely contributed. Carefully trained in the principles and practice of mechanical engineering, thoroughly ac quainted with the problem to be solved by the scientific engineer, as well as with the agencies placed at his disposal by modern art, Robert Stephenson joined to an accurate perception of the difficulties to be encountered in the practice of his profession a patient discrimination in the selection of the meals by which these difficulties could be best overcome. lie was taken from life in the vigour of his days, and his remains now rest by , the side of one of those fathers of modern engineer ing whose memory ho loved to honmir, within the walls of that noble Abbey where are interred so many of England's mighty dead. Other names are recalled to our recollection on which I must not long dwell. Jacob Bell, the founder of the Phar maceutical Society and the liberal patron of modern artists ; Professor Henfrey, the distinguisbed bo tanical teacher, and a valued member of your Board ofExaminers ; Heterington Henry, a Fellow of the Royal Society and a practical chemist of high reputation, who, through his,labours in connection with the industrial arts, obtained for himself a large share of public confidence. The death of Stephenson having created a vacancy in the list of vice presidents, the council has nominated Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood to the vacant seat. The subject of international exhibitions of works of industry and art having been brought under the notice of the council in the session of 1858, received their careful consideration, and occupied much of their time in that as well as in the following session, and in the address of my predecessor at the beginning of last session, and in the report of the council presented at its close, a narrative of the proceedings of the council in rela tion to the subject was presented to the members of the society. The council having bestowed on this question that grave attention at repeated meetings which the importance of the subject deserves, re solved, on the 14th of April, 1858, that the Institu tion of Decennial Exhibitions in London, for the purpose of showing the progress made in industry and art during each period of ten years, would tend greatly to the encouragement of arts, manu factures, and commerce, and that the first of these exhibitions, which it was then intended to hold in 1861, should consist of works selected for excellence, illustrating especially the progress of industry and art, arranged according to classes, and not countries, and should comprise music and painting. The investigations of the coun cil led them to conclude that an international exhi bition in 1861 would elicit even more valuable re sults than had been achieved in 1851, if managed with the same spirit and intelligence as its great predecessor. I cannot bring before the present meeting some of the considerations whic'a influenced the decision of the council more forcibly than by repeating the language already employed by them. The learned gentleman, after adducing statistics to show the extent to which commerce and manufac- tures had been developed during the past 10 yeErs proceeded :—lt was not intended by the Society of Arts that the Exhibition of 1851 should be the last as well as the first international exhibition of in dustry, but on the contrary, as far back as 1849, in a letter addressed on behalf of the society by his Royal Highness the president to one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, it was expressly no tified that the society's object was to insure the establishment of quinquennial exhibitions of in dustry.. While the council was actually preparing to originate the exhibition, hostile gatherings, of which Italy was the centre and object, threatened to involve the principal continental States in active and protracted warfare. The probable influences on an international exhibition of the unexpected interruption to the peaceful relations of the States of Western Europe led the council, in the month of May last, to determine that the international exhi bition proposed to be held in 1861 should be post poned to a more favourable opportunity. That de cision was arrived at by the council with much regret. An exhibition which should present an ade quate picture of the progress of arts and industry, when employed in extending the blessings of peace and promoting the progress of civilisation, might prove of special utility at a season of strife and war fare; and even if war were again to interrupt the peaceful intercourse of Continental States, it is ob viously within the power of the United Kingdom, including the colonies and dependencies of the empire to produce an exhibition deserving of national pa tronage. The progress of art and industry is not suspended, however much it may be interrupted, by actual warfare, and the loom and the forge may , pursue their wonted activity even amid the din of arms. The past history and present position of our country alike impose on Englishmen duties which cannot bo evaded with dignity, and they surely may decide themselves whether and when they will hold exhibitions of art and industry ; al though warlike preparations may seem to occupy other nations. The war in Italy having terminated, the council has anxiously resumed the consideration of this important subject, and, notwithstanding the present aspect of continental affairs, which they do not regard as the most favourable to arts, manufac tures, or commerce, it is nevertheless the intention of the council, interpreting aright, as they believe, the feelings of their countrymen, to originate mea sures for carrying into effect au international exhi bition of works of art and industry to be held in 1862—(applause)—and they propose to invite the manufacturers, merchants, public companies, and other capitalists willing to promote such an exhi bition, to unite in raising a guarantee fund, not less in amount than £250,000, to be vested in trustees whose position, character, and qualifications will secure the confidence of those capitalists who are prepared to share the responsibility of the under taking. It is the intention of the council that full and absolute power to originate and conduct the exhibition shall be vested in such trustees, and that the permanent buildings which may be found ne cessary shall vest in the Society of Arts, in order that such buildings may be devoted to future exhi bitions, and when not so occupied may be employed for purposes tending to the promotion of arts, manu factures, and commerce. The trustees will doubt less seek the assistance of her *Majesty's Govern ment in order the better to obtain the friendly assistance of foreign Governments and secure the co-operation of foreign exhibitors, and otherwise promote the success of the exhibition of 1862, and will also apply to the Royal Commissioners foretnhte portion Exhibition of t h eof groundlBsl to purchasedgrant Ken sington out of the surplus fu nds of the Exhi bition of 1851 for the next and future exhibi tions. The progress of art throughout the country, and the organisation of local boards, were next re• ferred to in the address. It was also intimated that the Turner and Vernon collection of paintings at South Kensington would shortly be opened to the publ!e during the evening. The present state of the law of copyright was next referred to, as well as another important matter which had been brought before the society under the presidency of Dr. Whell, and which had occuplea much of the attention of the council—that it was desimble to establish a uniform musical pitch. It remains with the committee appointed to consider and report what pitch shall be adopted in this country. A large mass of correspondence has been collected during the 'vacation on the subject. The address concluded with showing the vast increase in corn mere:, arts, and manufactures that had taken place during a recent period, Mr. WEBSTER, who rose to move a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman for the address just de livered, expressed his fullest confidence that the announcement of the determination of the council to organise an industrial exhibition in 1862 would be sympathised with throughout the country. He felt confident that through the progress of art and science a quinquennial exhibition might now be proceeded with, independent of the position of foreign affairs. He urged the importance of co-ope• ration, and in conclusion, drew attention to the present state of the law of copyright and of trade marks.' Sir W. PAGE WOOD rose to second the motion and return thanks for himself personally for the honour conferred on him by his nomination to fill tho office so recently ♦acated by the lamented death of Robert Stephenson. Several members next joined in a discussion re lative to securing other premises, when, after the presentation of medals to various persons for im provements in various articles, the meeting was adjourned until next Wednesday, when Sir John Bowring will read a paper oil the arts and manu factures of China. THE ARMY. Yesterday orders were received at the headquar ters of the Royal Engineer department, Chatham, for the 34th Company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. Gordon, to proceed on Mon day next to Shorncliffe, to relieve iho 30th Com pany, ordered to Dover. The alterations and improvements which the Army Sanitary Commissioners last year recom mended should be adopted at Chatham for the health and comfort of the troops quartered at that garri son have nearly all been completed. The whole of the barrack rooms at Chatham, Brompton, and St. Mary's Barracks, which were previously without any appliances for ventilation, have been fitted with a new kind of ventilating apparatus which admir ably answers the purpose for which it is intended, the portions of the barracks fitted with the ventila tors during the hottest parts of last summer having been kept comparatively cool and healthy, the air in the rooms presenting a remarkable contrast to those rooms not previously ventilated. Additional cooking-houses and washing-rooms have also been erected, and the ablution rooms fitted with hot and cold water baths for the use of the troops. Several improvements recommended by the Commissioners have also been carried out at the several hospitals, the wards of which have all been ventilated, and several alterations effected to promote the health and comfort of the inmates. Another important improvement which is now being carried out in the garrison is the covering in of a portion of Chatham Barracks for the troops to be exercised under in wet and inclement weather. Several minor im provements have also been carried out in the gar rison. Brevet Lieut.-Col. W. W. Barry's and Capt. T. H. Millward's Ist and 2d batteries of the 4th brigade Royal Artillery were yesterday inspected on parade at Woolwich, and ►ere ordered for medi cal examination previous to departure for China. They have entirely relinquished their old battery guns, and are about to be supplied with two com plete batteries of 12-pound Armstrong guns, with a couple of which they will proceed to Shoeburyness for instruction. Two additional batteries are to be formed immediately to replace the above, and are to be stationed at Shorncliffe. Capt. Vesey's and Capt. Mercer's sth and 3d batteries of the same brigade, at present stationed at Shorncliffe, will be removed to Woolwich. Colonel F. Eardley Wilmot, R.A., superintendent of the royal gun factories, and Captain Haultain, R.A., captain instructor of the establishment, have removed from the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, in ac cordance with recent orders from the War Depart ment; and Mr. Anderson, late inspector of machi nery, has this week assumed the entire direction, under the superintendence of Sir William Arm strong, C.B. Orders have been received by the military autho rities at Portsmouth from the Horse Guards that the troops of the garrison shall be practised in the mode of embarking and disembarking, as a portion of their drill. His Royal Highness the Comman der-in-Chief also expresses his opinion that it is de sirable that small detachments of Royal Marines should be employed with the troops when exercised in embarking and disembarking ; and also considers it would be advantageous if, in the first instance, and also in rough weather, the Royal Marines were embarked alone in the presence of the officers and troops, to show the men the necessity of perfect quietness and steadiness, and the best manner of stowing themselves in the boats on such occasions. The paddlewheel steam sloop Hydra , 6, Comman der V. Hamilton, left Plymouth, on Monday night for Pembroke to convoy the Immortalite, 50, to Portsmouth.

ABOLITION OF STATUTE FAIRS. A county meeting, convened by the Lord-Lieu tenant of Worcestershire, was held at the Shire hall at Worcester on Saturday last, "to consider the best method of improving the system of hiring agricultural servants." The subject had been much discussed at the agricultural gatherings in the county, and the demoralisation introd uce d and en couraged by adhering to the old custom of hiring at " mops" and statute fairs was loudly den ounce d. ° Accordingly, a requisition was presented to Lord Lyttelton (the Lord-Lieutenant), requesting him to convene a county hall to considsr the subject, and the meeting was held on Saturday. The chair was taken by Lord Lyttelton, and among thoso present were the Hon. F. Lygon, M.P., the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Sir E. A. H. Lech mere, ,&e. Lord LYTTELTON, in opening the business of the meeting, said that in his part of the county mops were not known ; but an attempt had recently been made to establish them, and he thought he could trace the origin of the attempt to the same influ ence as that described by Mr. llastings in his paper read at the Social Science meeting at Liverpool recently—viz., to the enterprise of some publican in the district. He was not prepared to enter fully into the subject, but he would say that if the custom of holding mops and " statutes had prevailed in a less degree in the cou-nty than he now learnt it did, he should not have hesitated in convening the present meeting; for certainly, fro_n all he had heard and read, he was convinced that the evil which it was their present object to correct was a serious one. (Hear, hear.) That these mops were evils was beyond controversy; the only ques tion was whether they were necessary evils, or were counterbalanced by attendant advantages. Looking at these mops as applicable for the object which they professed—the engagement of agricultural servants—he could not see that they were either convenient or desirable means to the end. The re- lations between master and servant ought to be commenced on a different footing ; there should be soma previous mutual acquaintance, and some knowledge of the respective character of both master and servant, which.could not, exist under a system of hiring at mops. All must depend, as it were, on. an engagement at first sight, and depen dent upon the physical qualities of the servant. But, beyond this, there must be an evil in the promiscuous gathering together of youn, persons of both sexes without control, and there was with mops an evil which did not necessarily attend other public gatherings for a particular object. Why should the assembling together of farmers and their servants for the purpose of hiring entail these evils ? The answer given was that it was not necessary at all, but that the col- letting together of larie numbers of persons at, tracte'd others for the sake of profit. This was no answer to the question why this particular mode should be adopted in the hiring of agricultural ser vants in contradistinction to the mode adopted for hiring other servants ;. no doubt the custom of hir ing at mops arose originally from the isolated posi tion of the agricultural classes, but that isolation was now broken. He had no doubt that if mops and statutes were simply abolished at once, other modes of hiring would be found, as in other coun ties. It was not, however, proposed to do this now, but to introduce a system of registration. At the same time he did not think there was any objection to the simple abolition of mops. With regard to the question of providing some recreation and amuse ment for the labourers in lieu of the mops, he was aware that that point had been discussed, but it was not intended to propose at this meeting any organised system of recreation for those classes. He thought that was a subject that might safely be left to take itenatural course. It was a subject which was very much thought of in these days, and he thought that the employers of labour, under the advice of the clergy and gentry resident around them, would be found willing and ready to provide a better and a far more unobjectionable mode of , amusement than that afforded by the mops for those whom they employed. (Hear, hear.) His lordship then briefly stated the course which was proposed to be adopted for establishing a system of registra tion in lieu of statute hirings. Sir JOIIN PAKINGTON then proposed the that resolution :-- That the present system of hiring servants at statutes or mops does not conduce to the interests of the master or the servant, and that its alteration and amendment, without in juring the employer or employed, is most desirable. He was glad that he had the alternative of speak ing of statutes or mops, as he had been long accus tomed to dealing with the former, but had no pre tensions to a knowledge of the latter. (A laugh.; He willingly undertook to move that resolution be. cause he believed that the present system of hiring at statutes la to considerable evil and mischief. He hoped to hear from other speakers how far the doing away with statutes could inflict injury upon the employers of labour. He believed that no in jurious consequences would ensue. He believed that with regard to the object of engaging agricultural labourers, these statutes were clumsy and inconve nient contrivances, for the reasons which had been enforced by Lord Lyttelton ; while, on the other hand, with regard to the other branch of the ques tion, there could be no doubt that these gatherings had a very demoralising tendency. He believed it to be the fact that very infamous characters were in the habit of attending these statutes, and that they imposed on the employers of labour, and inflicted great moral injury on those who came to be hired. He only knew of two arguments which could be adduced in answer to these objections. The first was the necessity of continuing the meetings with the view of providing for the employers of agricul tural labour that labour which they required. Was it not then possible to find some other mode of meeting this requirement, equally good, and free from the objections which were raised against it ? Another argument was that the abolition of the statutes would deprive the agricultural labourers of that holiday or day of recreation which they en joyed under the mop system. Now he was sure that it was not the object of those who had originated this meeting to debar the working classes of any rational amusement or recreation, in proof of which he could refer to the proceedings of a meeting held in that county that very week, some of the princi pal movers in which had been forward in promot ing the present movement. What they desiderated was social and legitimate enjoyment on the part of the workinc , classes. If a yearly holiday was de sirable for the working classes, let some other mode of enjoyment be adopted which would be free from the evils which attended the holding of statutes. In conclusion, Sir John expressed his belief that the abolition of mops or statutes would confer essential berefits, not only upon the employers of labour, but upon the labouring c asses especially. Mr. B. BULL, a tenant farmer, seconded the reso lution, and said he had been compelled to resort to statutes to get his servants. He likened them to going to a fair to buy a horse, with this difference, that one might be a judge of the quadruped, but must be in perfect ignorance of the qualities of the human servant. With regard to the holiday ques tion, he thought that was a matter which might be easily arranged between master and man. This and the subsequent resolutions were carried unanimously. Mr. T. G. CURTLER, county magistrate, moved a resolution a ffi rmi ng th e propriety of establishing a system of registration in districts, with a central office at Worcester, thus affording masters and ser- PRICE . STAMPED, SD• Tants the means of suiting themselves with the least trquble and inconvenience. This was seconded by Col. WALL, and resolutiAs were also passed for forming a Worcestershire Ser vants' Registration Society, of which Lord Lyttel ton was to be president. On the motion of Sir E. A. IL LECIIMERE, se conded by the Hon. F. LYGON, M.P., thanks were voted to Lord Lyttelton for convening the meeting and presiding, after which the meeting broke up. TIDE ITALIAN QUESTION. (From the Times.) Italian spirit has not quite died out of the coun cils of King Victor Emmanuel. Under the influ ence of a too powerful ally the Pied montese Sove reign has given up a large portion of that authority with which his countrymen has endowed him. lle had been for ten years the leader of the Italian people, the centre of their aspirations, the represen tative of their nationality. At a time when the Western Powers, on the one hand, and Russia, on the other, were soliciting the help of Francis Joseph, the King of Sardinia still expressed the enduring animosity of his race to the foreigner, and joined the Western allianee, in the hope of some day being strengthened against his enemy. This position he has retained up to the present day ; but some of the acts to which he has been forced by the irresistible might of his late . ally have caused the world to ask whether the son of Charles Albert had not joined the compact by which the two Emperors seemed inclined to crush the independence of his native country. We are glad to believe that Victor Emmanuel has acted only under compulsion, and that with the countenance of other great European Powers, he will take a firmer stand, and, while acknowledging the benefits to Italy resulting from the late war, will decline to allow any victorious potentate to dictate to the Italian populations, which are both in fact and by the law of nations independent communities. As our readers know, the Assemblies of Tus cany, Parma, Modena, and the Romagna offered a few days since the Regency of their respective States to the Prince of Savoy Carignan, the relative of the King. There was, according to English ideas; and according, we are sure, to the rights of nations, no ground of complaint in this. European opinion has long since pronounced against the right of any State to force a discarded sovereign on another, and the crowns of France, Belgium, and Greece have been within the last 30 years disposed of by popular election. Moreover, France had expressly sanc tioned and a c k now ledged the revolutions in three of these States. While the British authorities very properly declined to compliment a Government to which their Minister had not been accredited, the French Emperor•at once acquiesced in the Tuscan revolution, and sent his cousin with a French divi sion to join the troops of the three Duchies. It is evident, then, that both by international law and by the express recognition of France the people of Cen tral It sly were free from their former rulers, and competent to choose a government for themselves. They chose the Prince de Carignan as Regent, to exercise authority in the name of the King of Sar dinia until the diplomatic questions connected with the Peninsula were fully settled. The interference of France, which immediately took place, was cer tainly an unjustifiable stretch of power. Victor Emmanuel was urged in the strongest terms to re fuse to his relative the consent supposed to be neces sary to his undertaking the office. The King, who had yielded so much before, yielded once again, and the Prince de Carignan took no step to place him self at the bead of the Government. The proceedings, however, since the arrangement of Villafranca, seem like a game of chess between the Italians and the two potentates who claim to decide on their destinies. We know not by what right the King could forbid the Prince de Carignan to assume the Regency, except the right of being Sovereign of Central Italy himself. When the subject of one State accepts the government of another the most his own Sovereign can do is not to recognise him ; if, then, he absolutely forbids him to accept, it must be by some prior right of his own over the State which hits elected the subject. Victor Emmanuel, then, by the very fact of his prohibition to his cousin, asserted himself to be the possessor of the crowns which were offered him six months ago. This right he seems in the present case to have exercised in such a manner as to save appearances with his Im perial brother without compromising his own claims or thwarting the wishes of the Italian populations. The assemblies of the four revolutionised States have created a Regency, and elected the Prince de Carig • nan to it; the prohibition of the King is only per sonal ; he, in his right of Sovereign, objects to the Prince dc Carign an, but leaves it to this latter to name or recommend a substitute. The Prince has named M. Buoncompagni, who will, no doubt, be at once accepted by the Assemblies. Thus the act by which the two Imperial Govern ments thought to neutralise the votes of the Italian Assemblies has ended in what is really the asser tion of the King of Sardinia's sovereignty. M. Buoncompagni is a subject of the King, and. will exercise the Regency in his name. His greater acquaintance with the state of affairs in Central Italy will make him, perhaps, a more efficient ad ministrator than the Prince, while his position as a non-Royal subject will make more conspicuous the fact that his authority is merely delegated. This event is certainly not the least important which has marked the course of the Italian question. It is now fully shown that the people have entirely broken,' not only with their former Sovereigns, but with their foreign deliverers. M. Buoncompagni is now at the head of four Governments which before were disunited. Unless interfered with by foreign troops, he may proceed to do the work of amalgamation promptly and effectually. He may not only bring the finances of the Duchies into order, settle the conditions of their union, and arrange the contend ing claims of their armies or their official services, but he may endow the Romagna with a regular Government after the pattern of the one free State of Italy. He may complete the severance o f the population east of the Apennines from the patrimony of St. Peter ; he may install lay authorities in the place of priests and prelates ; and, by the exercise of a wise authority, he may in a few weeks make the independence of Central Italy a fact so fully accomplished that not even the most unscrupulous despotism will be willing to interfere with it. No one will wonder that the French Govern ment should display some irritation at these occur rences. It is a signal proof how little at the present day eveo the most overwhelming force and the most brilliant victories are capable of overawing mankind, that France, whose legions a few months since marched from victory to victory, now finds herself obliged to rely on the assistance of the enemy whom she so lately conquered. We are happy to believe that the majority of the great Powers join in the loudly expressed sympa pathies of Europe that the Italian people should be allowed the free choice of their own Governments. From Lisbon to Moscow, and over the Atlantic,— wherever there are free, and honest, and thinking men, the desire is the same—that the petty tyranny of the Ducal houses should cease. Even in France is difficult to find an advocate of the presen . Imperial policy beyon.l the politicians wfio obey every impulse of the Tuileries. We are told that the King of Sardinia has incurred the auger of the Imperial Government, and it is asked, how he can presume to prejudge the decision of the Congress, which, it is asserted, is about to meet ? But wo have yet to learn what right a Congress has to dispose of the destinies of the Italians, or why they should be dependent on its sanctions. In a Congress vari ous States meet to deliberate and to settle their own position with regard to any new events, but they can in no way interfere with the proceedings of States as sovereign as themselves. The Congress may refuse to recognise a state of things diplomati cally, and it may advise an alteration; but it would be the height of tyranny f i r a more majority of the great Powers to declare that nothing shall be done in Europe without their consent. This, we are sure, is not the conception which the British Government has of a Congrecs, and we think that these views will be generally accepted. SUICIDE OF A MILITARY OFFlCER.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, held a long inquiry at the vestry-hall of St. Martin's-in-the- Fields relative to the death of Captain Henry Dur can Dodgin, aged 59, formerly of her Majesty's 20th Regiment, Inspector-General of Police at Barbadoes, and member of the Junior United Service Club, who committed self-de struction by blowing his brains out with a cavalry pistol, at his lodgings in Pauton-street, Haymarket, on Saturday morning last. It was prayed that the deceased had been in pecuniary difficulties, and a document in his handwriting was read, in which he complained bitterly of the treatment he had received from the Government After many years' service. It appeared from this document that the deceased had been summarily deprived of his situation, and that he considered he had been cruelly treated. The deceased in this document spoke of having received sympathy, but said that was not sufficient for a starving man. The jury re turned a verdict that " the deceased destroyed himself while in a state of temporal , insanity." [ADVERTISEMENT. —Mr. Benson, Ludgate-hill, has just published a new illustrated pamphlet on watches (free by post for two stamps). It should be ead by all who are about buying a watch, as it contains prices and important information as to—What watch to buy ! where to buy it ! and how to use it!

Sines the end of September, however, the violence and suspicions of the Government have become a perfect frenzy. It would be impossible for me to enume rate the names of all those who have been im prisoned or persecuted within the last three weeks, or are at this moment fugitives or in concealment. It seems now an established rule with the police that, when a person is sought for or not forth- coming, his whole family aro to be imprisoned, without reference to age, sex, or state o f h ea l t h . Those arrests are effecte with much brutality. A little girl of 12 years old, belonging to the Cr:stina . family, was seriously wounded by a pistol shot to make her desist from crying. The wife of Bodala menti was dealt with in the same manner for the same offence, and now lies in great danger. A poo woman was suckling her infant. when her house was suddenly invaded by the gcnsdarmes, who tore the child from her, and threatened it should die of hunger unless she revealed where her husband had concealed himself. Ido not stop to tell you of the cruel tortures inflicted on the prisoners to make them confess crimes of which they are often inno cent; nor of the domineering insolence of the troops. Everything betrays a desire to provoke an insurrectionary movement, which, with every conceivable advantage of numbers; arms and forti fications, the Neapolitans think it will prove easy. to suffocate in bl oo d. Th e di rec t or an d commissaries of police, as if in momentary apprehension of being attacked, no longer sleep in their houses, and large bodies of military are often encamped for nights together in the streets and squares flanked by ar tillery. Indeed, our actual condition has become so terrible and insupportable that, despair will pre cipitate us into some fearful enterprise. An indi cation of this can too surely be traced in recent events, events which you must abaerve did not pro cede but, followed the iniquitous violence of the police. On the night of the 11th inst. a handful of men presented themselves at the village of Villa bate, about four miles from Palermo, and endea voured to disarm the Guarda Urbana, a sort of auxiliary to the police there stationed. After a skirmish, in which . gendarmes and troops took a share they succeeded in retiring to the mountains, leaving only one of their number mortally wounded. Next day, the 12th, a proclamation appeared from the Lieutenant-General of the garrison, giving his own version of this affray as solely attributable to a gang of thieves and disturbers of public order; at the same time he intimated to all good citizens that they must give up the firearms and other weapons which the Government had hitherto authorised them to keep. Observe here the contradiction. A favoured few, considered even by the Government orderly and respectable citizens, had enjoyed, by special permission, the privilege of possessing a fow ling-piece or a hunting-knife, yet now, while in formed thatimiblic safety is in danger, they are deprived of every means of protecting their persons or property, even in the remotest country. districts. The whole island is now agitated by anxiety forthe fate of those bravo spirits who, inpelled by the de sire of rescuing their country, have rushed headlong into danger. It is rumoured that they are strength ening themselves in the mountains and that num bers are flocking to their standard ; but the Government maintains an impenetrable silence, and all is mere conjecture. Meanwhile suspicion, appre hension, hope, and fear are universal, none knowing what a day may bring forth. Yet, happen what may, it is surely impossible that Europe will allow such a state of things to continue, which is a foul blot on the b oas t e d c i v ili sat i on of the 19th century. Men speak of Venice, of Rome, of the Duchies. Are Naples and Sicilly less important? Are our wrongs less flagrant ? Are not the 9,000,000 which form the population of the Two Sicilies to occupy the attention of the Congress equally with their brethren in Northern and Central Italy, or humanity, reason, intelligence to find their boundary at the Tronto ? We aro told that the votes of the people aro to have duo weight; have not we Sicilians sufficiently expressed ours ? Did we not give a sufficient testimony of our earnestness in 1848, in 1850, in 1856 ? We cannot believe that England, the only really free country in the world, will not, after the declarations of her Ministers, insist that Sicily shall participate in the benefits which the forthcoming Congress will ensure for the Italian peninsula. If its deliberations are to close the era of Italian revolutions, the sufferings and the claims of Sicily must no longer be overlooked. STATISTICS OF BRAZIL. -- 4-- - Brazil bids fair to be the greatest empire of the transatlantic world. We are officially apprised that at the last date of the returns (included be tween the years 1855 and 1857) the area of Brazil was 3,100,104 Engli s h square m il es, an d ' t h e popu lation (of 20 provi nces ) equa l t o 7 , 677 , 800 sou l s. The numb er o f sc h oo l s or colleges was 2,548, inclu ding 1,571 publi c sc h oo l s of " primary" education, as it is termed, and 308 lyceums, or "secondary" establishments. The number of scholars was b 8,767, including 61,620 at the primary public academies, and 5,000 at the lyceums. 17,797 scholars studied in private schools of primary instruction, and 4,279 in secondary schools. The total number of convicted criminals in each year averages some 1,300, out of an average of 2,500 tried. The proportion of male and female criminals is somewhat startling ; the men average about 2,400, and the women only 150 a-year (of the criminals tried). The great majority of criminals are between 21 and 40 years of age ; juvenile crime is, happily, rare. Rebellion and se dition, as offences, appear to be at a discount in Brazil, as in England, seeing that there was only one solitary sedition-monger tried in 1857, and not one " insurrectionist." " Bodily assaults and in juries" constitute the staple offence, and murder, euphonistically qualified as " manslaughter" (or homicide) stands next. Concealment of birth is almost unknown in Brazil, and cases of " violation," officially distinguished from "rape," are, consider ing the climate of Brazil, not numerous. There are no offences against religion and morals, but the "civil" catalogue includes 23 cases of " illegal as sembly." Of 1,229 persons convicted in 1857, 46 were executed, 116 sentenced to the galleys, 218 to hand (not hard) labour, 432 to imprisonment only, 5 to " degradation" (not explained), 6 to exile, 384 to fine, and 62 to be scourged. The public revenue of Brazil is 4,380,9001, and the expenditure 4,455,2291. The latter includes 817,1631 for the Ministry of the Interior, 415,3001 for Justice, 73,2801 for Foreign Affairs, 552,8851 for Marine, 1,225,5141 fox War, and 1,371,087/for (Ministry of) Finance. The Public Funded Debt of Brazil is 11,909,0781, against 6,415,9781 internal and 5,493,1001 foreign debt. 2775 vessels, national and foreign, of 885,703 tons, entered the ports of Brazil in 1856-7, while 2546, of 905,311 tons cleared out thence. The ratio of national to foreign vessels is as Ito 7. Some 3,000 vessels, of 350,000 tone, ap pear to be engaged in the coasting trade; 144 British vessels, of 46,266 tons, entered tho port of Rio do Janeiro last year, and 147, of 48,122 tons cleared out. The American ships at Rio numbered some 280, of 107,000 tons. At Pernambuco 287 English ships, of 72,046 tons entered in 1848, against 294 of 72,867 tons cleared out. At Bahia. 146 English vessels, of 60,306 tons, entered, and 141 cleared out, of 59,060 tons burden. The im ports of Brazil, in 1856-7, are valued at 13,761,7731, and the exports at 12,722,601/. In that year Brazil took for home consumption , from England alone, goods to the value of 73,711,048 milreis ; from the Hanse Towns, 7,498,456 milreis ; from Belgium, 2,073,748 milreis; from France, 16,476,063 milreis; from Spain, 1,415,499 milreis ; from Portugal, 6,649,118 milreis from the United States, 7,777,406 milreis ; and from Rio do la Plate, 4,030.646 mil reis. Among the imports cotton goods figure for 35,513,568 milreis, woollen for 8,381,032, flour for 5,297,466, gold and silver coins for 12,683,643, cut lery, &c., for 5,44,448,and gold and silver, wrought, for 3,788,718 milreis. The value of the exports to Great Britain is 35,587,150 milreis—about half that of the imports into Brazil from the former empire. Of the exports, raw sugars and coffee are the sta - - - pies, the former figuring - for 25,842,938 milreis, and the latter for 54,06,972"mi1reis ; salt and dry hides, and diamonds, figure for 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 nuilreis each, and tobacco for 3,436,401. Raw cotton figures for 6,990,404. Half the coffee of Brazil (ex ported at Rio) is taken by the United States •, about 300,000 out of the ;rand total of 2,409,543 bags ex ported in 1855 were sent by the English Channel " for orders ;" the quantity actually sent to Great Britain was only 36,788 bags—a very low figuro indeed. These exports of coffee, however, refer to Rio de Janeiro only. 7,452,520/ worth of gold pieces were coined at the Mint of Brazil in 1856, and 1,017,2081 worth of silver. At the end of 1858 the extreme market prices at Pernambuco were — Indian corn, 5.1 s to 58s 6d per quarter ; .cotton, 7id per lb ; rum, 157 s Gd to 168 s per pipe ; and sugar, 19s 14d to 33s per cwt. BROADSTAIRS.—During Thursday night and Fr'- day morning three bodies were washed ashore between Kingsgate and Broadstairs, supposed to be from ono of the vessels which was wrecked at Kingsgate a short time back . One of the bodies was found by some lads, under the cliff near Stone; on the body of a gold watch and some silver was found. Another was picked up by two men of the Broadstairs coastguard service, and the third was found near Kingsgate. " T Ski" is marked o n the shirt of OTlet and on a paper in his pocket the following address :—" W. Smith and Co., grocers, bakers, and confectioners, New street, Poole." The bodies were much mutilated. r l l-11 ECONOMIC LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIE r Y. 6 ' Rely Bridge -street, Blackfriars, London. Th e 10 Established 1823.
