To narrow the circle of the for g er 's operations has long absorbed the attention of thoughtful financiers and printers, and amongst the latter of these the name of Mr. Nissen, of Mark-lane, deservedly ranks high. This gentleman, who has lately been occupied in exten sively thwarting the over-riding tendencies of a new patent, would seem to have conceived himself bound, while finding fault with others, to devise an effective remedy of his own, and to make this pro cess th e b etter understood, h e is gra tuitously dispersing a brochure with illustrations of his detective cheques, &c., which appear to defy all the arts of the most accomplished teumite. THE NEW WINE TARIFF. —One of the first effects of the Government interference with the duties on wine will be to change the course of business as hitherto con ducted by the great houses in London. Already, before the question is finally settled, the note of preparation has been sounded throughout the trade, and amongst the fore most to avail themselves of the opportunity for enlarging their operations, is the old-established firm of Tod Heatly and Co. (late R. Todd and James), who announce for un reserved disposal their large stock of old bottled port wines, with the view of devoting their entire attention, in future, to sherries and the wines of France and Germany. It will be needless to add that the port wines thus brought upon the market are of the very highest class—chiefly vintage Wines—and almost exclusively bottled in the Adelphi. The sale consisting of about 5,000 dozens (allotted, however, in small parcels for the convenience of purchasers, averaging from 3 to 10 dozens) has been entrusted to Messrs. Foster, of Pall-Mall; and, commencing on the 31st inst., will be continued on successive days until complsted, Share) 7 , 4 , 4 i Closing Business Price.

Motion made, and question proposed, " That this house is of opinion that the grant now annually made to noncon forming ministers in Ireland (commonly called the Re glum Donum), should cease and be extinguished as speedily as is consistent with the just expectations of the recipients thereof ; and, with this view, that no fur ther grant be made on acco ,nt of new congregations,' nor to any existing congregations after the present minis ters thereof shall have ceased, by death or otherwise, to be the ministers of such congregations." Amendment proposed, to leave out from the words "Regium Donum" to the end of the question, in order to add the words, " should no longer be exposed to the annual criticism of this house, but, having been annually sanctioned by the opinion of this house for a lengthened period, it ought in future to be placed upon the Consolidated Fund," instead thereof.

He contributed also to the defence of Messina against the royal troops, in the month of September, 1848. During his exile he published a few political and historical works, one of which was an account of the events of which Sicily was the theatre in 1846 and 1849. ' Carini, who is also a Sicilian, got up a regiment of cavalry at Palermo during the revolutionary period of 1848 and 1849, and when the revolution broke down he tried to serve in exile not only the cause of Sicily but also that of Italy by his "French and Italian Review," which appeared at Paris until the commencement of 1859. Stocco, a native of Calabria, is well known, and very popular in that part of the Neapolitan king dom. In 1848 he was one of my trustiest and bravest lieutenants in the insurrection of the Cal 2.- brias, and he especially gave proof of his bravery and skill on the 27th of June, during that combat at long odds between Angitola and Maida, that lasted nearly twelve hours, and in which from four to fiJe hundred Calabrians were seen fighting ad vantageously against nearly all the troops com manded by General Nunziante, which troops would have been utterly defeated had the other Calabrian chiefs come up to the aid of Stocco. Carioli is the brother of one of those glorious volunteers who were killed last year in the war against Austria. As soon as he heard of Gari baldi's plans he came here in haste from Pavia, and it was his own mother who, still in mourning for her eldest son, presented him to the General, and, as if she had-done nothing yet, presented to him the sum of thirty thousand francs ! I can tell you that traits of this kind are by no means rare with us, especially of late ; and truly such a case does not furnish the least plain proof of the complete moral change that has been effected in Italy, and of the happy destiny that awaits it. Nino Bixio, a native of Genoa, is much liked here, and most popular in Italy. Wounded at Rome in 1849, by the side of his compatriot and friend, Godefroy Mamely, he formed part in 1859 of the legion commanded by Garibaldi, one of whose most brilliant lieutenants he was. Used to the sea like Garibaldi, having served as a ship captain on a long voyage, he has just rendered eminent services to the expedition, in which he commands the Lombards. TELLERS.

TRE EL FA v. The affairs of India will for some time engage the anxious attention of Statesmen. Sir C. Tre velyan, the governor of Madras, a gentleman of very high character, and of- great experience in Indian affairs, has placed himself in direct opposi tion to Mr. Wilson's new plan of taxation. Sir Charles goes principally for the expediency of re ducing the expenses. Mr. Wilson, as the Times says, "believes in the possibility of stimulating the trade, developing the resources, calling forth the industry, and increasing the revenue of India ; and these things he cm only do through a greatly in creased expenditure, on railroads, irrigation, edu cation, the administration of justice, and the im provement of the police." It is very remarkable that while public writers and speakers have declared, their opinions for and against Mr. Wilson's plan of taxation, scarcely a word has been said, on either side, on his Paper Currency project. The fact is that the writers and speakers are afraid of this subject. They know and feel 'their ignorance. They dislike the ques tion. They wish, as far as possible, to ignore it. • But currency for India must be considered. How is the "greatly increased expenditure" to be met, how are taxes to be raised with the " purely metahic Currency of India." It is entirely impos sible. With a sound Paper Currency trade would be stimulated, the resources of the country deve loped, and consequently the revenue increased. Mr, Wilson knows this. He knows that nothing can be done, on a large scale, without a Paper Currency. We are opposed to the timid policy of Sir C. Trevelyan. We are equally opposed to the Bullionist theories of Mr. Wilson. With Pitt's paper money, India would be' to England a source of " wealth beyond the dreams of avarice."—her by.shire Courier. POLICE INTELLIGER CE---( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR AND HEARTLESS CASE OF WIFE DESER• TlON.—William Hatch, described as a clock and watch maker and photographer, of Weybridge, Surrey, and who is said to have taken about 600 portraits of Sayers and Heenan since the late fight, was brought before Mr. Bea don, on a warrant, by Mr. Wm. Reader Turner, constable of St. George's, Hanover-square, charged with deserting his wife and four children, the youngest only two months old, and leaving them chargeable to the said parish, Mr. Turner said, from information he received he appre hended the prisoner at Weybridge, Surrey, where he was renting a house at £3O a-year and taxes A female was there with a ring on her finger, and her likeness was hanging in the room. The last time the prisoner had given his wife any money was eight weeks ago, since which she had not seen him. He then wrote a letter stating that he had entered service, and was going to Paris. (The letter‘was produced). The prisoner was formerly footman to Lady Otway, of Grosvenor-square, and the female who was found living at his house, and to whom it was stated in court he was also married, was formerly in the same lady's service as house maid. The wife of the prisoner, a decent-looking woman, having proved the desertion, Mr. Beadon, after animadverting in strong terms on the prisoner's conduct, committed him for two months with hard labs.ur.

I 2 L NW &311 DEMONS'PRA 2 Ar , OF Sl' 31P A2'1117 IFITII GARIBALDI. Last evening a meeting was held at St. Martin's Hall for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the cause of the Italian insurgents, and with General Garibaldi's expedition into Sicily. The chair was taken by Mr. FREDERIC LAW RANCE, barrister-at-law, who, on rising to address the meeting, was received with loud applause. He said they were assembled to give the fullest expres sion of their sympathy with the Italian cause and with the Italian leader, General Garibaldi. and he believed there never was a man nor a cause more worthy of admiration. He rejoiced, more over, that the cause was at present victorious, and that the brave soldiers of Garibaldi were driving before them the hired mercenaries of a cold-hearted tyranny. (Cheers.) Garibaldi was well worthy of their sympathy; he was the bravest soldier, the purest patriot, and the noblest champion of Italian independence. (Cheers.) People might talk of conspiracy, hut when a -whole nation combined, when all the men who loved freedom responded to the same sentiment, that was not conspiracy, but the recognition of a principle implanted in the human breast by the Creator himself, and-recog nised in all ages, that when power was abused revenge became necessary. Then it was that the resistance of a free people was a sacred duty and an act of justice. People might speak of the impos sibilty of Italian unity, but ha believed that in a few years it would be carried into effect, and would prove the surest guarantee for the peace of Europe, the rights of nations, and the uninterrupted progress of civilisation. (Cheers.) It was to that unity that the efforts of Garibaldi tended. (Cheers) A united Italy was just as possible as in former times was the union of the several provinces of England into one great empire. (Cheers.) Gari baldi had been successful hitherto, and there could be little doubt, considering what sort of people the Sicilians were, that he would be so supported by them that he must go on to ultimate triumph. (Hear, hear.) Another victory might d r i ve th e hated Bourbon from the throne, and if he should come to seek a refuge in England, he would re ceive a safe asylum and a hearty welcome—(cheers and laughter)—and we would teach him a lesson he would not easily forget. The chairman con cluded amidst loud applause. Mr. SLACK, in moving the first resolution expres sive of the sympathies of the meeting with the Ita lian cause, commented on the principle of nonin tervention, which he observed was very well as a temporary policy, but ought not to be elevated to the rank of a great moral principle. There was union now in Italy for common purposes, and on those grounds alone their conduct was worthy of English support. Such support would give strength to constitutional liberty throughout Europe. It would aid Victor Emmanuel in working out the future of Italian independence. (Cheers.) Mr. GEO. LEVERSON, in seconding the resolu tion, said the course of events for the last 30 years had shown that the Italians not only had the right, but had shown themselves worthy of managing their own affairs. It was the decision of the Italian people iu 1848 which had induced Charles Albert to invade Lombardy, and make that first great assertion of Italian unity. Sardinia, before 1848, was as priest-ridden as any other part of Italy. Now all knew what progress had been made in that country in civil and religious liberty. Strugg:es, defeats, and suffering had bound the Italian people together in unity and brother hood. The blood of martyrs had fructified, and countless heroes had arisen. Garibaldi had shown. that he was worthy of the respect, admiration, almost the worship of freemen. (Cheers.) His con duct against the French in 1848 had drawn from an able French marshal the admission that he was one of those men who are born soldiers. Men of all con ditions swelled his ranks, from the sons of dukes to the children of peasants. He had seen much of Italian volunteers, and never had men shown more courage in the field or mere modesty in victory. Nations who could furnish such volunteers as these showed their ability for the highest functions of citizenship. The performance of Garibaldi in land ing in Sicily was one of the most wonderful of modem times. God grant that the Italian tri colour flag might soon float over the city of Palermo. (Loud cheers.) The ICO,OOO Neapolitan army were fine men, but to be good soldiers the 3 must have a good cause. Now, in the case of Garibaldi's men they were actuated by the highest feelings of patriotism. On those grounds he had the firmest belief in their ultimate success. The success of Garibaldi's men proved what volunteers could do, and he hoped, if ever it became necessary to defend our island home, our volunteers would prove themselves as brave in the field as the gallant Italian volunteers, and would be led by such a man as Garibaldi. Sicily was one of the richest coun tries in the world, and once freed from the be nighted rule of. the Neapolitan Bourbons, the inter course with this country would be immense, and therefore, merely on these 0-rounds, it was well worth while for England to give ail the support in her power to the cause now being wrought .out in that island. Were it not that he had children of his own, he would shoulder the musket and go out to join the army of Gari baldi ; but, indeed, he believed that the time was not far distant when we should be called upon to defend our own hearths and homes. (Cheers.) Mr. Leverson concluded by reading a copy of verses which he had composed for the occasion, and which was received with much applause. The CHAIRMAN then pat the resolution, which was as follows :—" That this meeting expresses its admiration and sympathy with the noble efforts of the Italian people to emancipate themselves from evil Governments, and secure the blessings of liberty and unity, and is of opinion that they are entitled to the firm- moral support of this country in defence of their absolute right to the internal management of their own affairs." It was carried unanimously and with much enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen, I have just received a message from Mr. White, M.P., who says, " I have just learnt from Roths child's that Garibaldi has taken Palermo." This announcement was received with vociferous and protracted applause. The CHAIRMAN then called for " Three cheers for Garibaldi," which was enthusiastically re sponded to. Mr. ALFRED B. RICHARDS moved the second re solution—" That in order to afford the friends of freedom an opportunity of showing their high ad miration of the gallant General Garibaldi, this meeting is of opinion that a committee should be appointed to receive subscriptions, to be considered as a testimonial to Garibaldi." Mr. MILES, an American citizen, seconded the resolution. He said, if a communication could be laid across the sea from America to Sicily there were 100,000 men who would shoulder their bayoneted rifles and march over to the aid of the Italians. But there were 1,800,000 people in Sicily whose hearts were with Garibaldi, and who could no longer be en slaved though a million of men were in arms against them. He believed that the time was not far dis tant when England would be involved in a greet war; and if she were fighting on the side of liberty and progress she would unquestionably have Ame rica with her, but if she were fighting to uphold despotism, then as certainly would America decline to go with her in such a cause. (A voice: What about slavery ?) Never mind about slavery. He was not talking about slavery. (Oh.) He was not there to argue it, but if they desired to know what he thought about it he would answer by quoting from the declaration of American Inde pendence the paragraph declaring the national equality of all men, which he understood to mean men of all countries, of all creeds, and of all colours. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. Washington Wilkes, Mr. Lewis, and others, and the resolutions agreed to. The proceedings then terminated. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with home-grown wheat. Both red and white qualities changed hands slowly, but at Monday's advance on the quotations of from Is to 2s per quarter. In foreign wheat, the show of which was limited, the transactions ware by no means numerous ; nevertheless, importers were firm, and prices were well supported. Float ing cargoes off Falmouth were in demand. There was much less doing in barley, and last week's currency was barely maintained. The malt trade was inactive, at previous currencies. The supply of oats was very moderate, and the oat trade was steady, at full prices. Both beans and peas changed hands freely, at extreme rates. Flour was firm, and the top quotation for town-made qualities was 50s per 2801bs. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wlie It. Barley. Malt. Oats. English......

It is now a good many years ago since Lord Coleraine, -popularly known as " Blue Haneer," from the colour of the clothes be used to wear, had an altercation with a strange-at Drury-lane Theatre, at the conclusion of which the stranger threatened to pull his nose. The noble lord applied to his brother, Colonel Hanger, to know what he ought to do under the circumstances. " Soap your nose well," was the fraternal reply, " and it will easily slip through his fingers." In other words, take the little disagreeables of life as easily as may be, and, if they must be fairly encountered, call in the help of soap and goad humour, and bear what must be borne with as much placidity as you can summon to your aid. Now, there was that terrible division of Monday night, and the authors arid abettors of it threaten to do worse. Let us venture to recom mend our Paper Duty Abolition friends to soap t heir noses well and lay in a stock of good humour and good spirits on Epsom Downs to-day, and they will be in a better condition to meet the next tweak. Why should their hearts be heavy when so many hearts are rejoicing ? If they have made a mistake for once let them do as all about them are doing— forget all mistakes and disagreeables for one day, and start for Epsom Downs and the struggle for the blue riband of the turf. How dare those impu dent foreigners say that we English are a melan choly people ? There will be more good fun and merriment at Epsom to-day, and eundo et redeundo, than France and Germany—ay, and Italy to boot, could show in five years. We don't often take a holyday, but when we do we carry our purpose to its legitimate conclusion with all the energy of the national character. For once all business entangle ments are forgotten. The Premier and the coster monger, the merchant whose balance is all right and the merchant whose balance is all wrong, the lawyer and his client, the detective and the swell mobsman, the ins and the outs, are all intent upon a common object, and that is the. Derby. Independently of the natural and annual occasion for jubilee, this year it bursts upon us after an eight months' winter. Last week we were shivering, and 'certainly not blessing the East wind, and to-day, with light garments and lighter hearts, we are on our way to Epsom ; and the lilacs are in blossom, and whatever is is right, ex cept perhaps the jam at the turnpike. This great English festival is one to which every one comes attired in his holiday feelings and his pleasantest looks. A man must be of sour, austere character in deed, no ray of sunshine can ever have lost its way into his churlish heart, if he refuses to bear his part in the general mirth to-day. How admirably, and by what harmonious clockwork, do the humours and eccentricities of each member of that enormous, never-ending procession strike at their appointed season, the end attained being that more thousands of persons than we dare to name have spent a happy holiday for at least one day in the year; and if it is so, *here is the great harm ? Now, to-morrow we trust to lay before our readers a full, true, and particular account of the running horses," with the names, weights, and colours of the riders," as the boys say who supply us with the racing cards. Even then our leading columns can scarcely be devoted to the discussion of Derby mat ters unless they are connected with the graver events of the day. But why should not our states men condescend to take a lesson from the teaching of the course ? One of the maxims which would most undoubtedly be acted upon either at Tatter sall's or in the Ring at Epsom would be to avoid an unlucky man. The maxim may be heartless, but it is sound. Let us transfer our observations from the Derby at Epsom to the successive Derby days at St. Stephen's. There is Mr. Bright, a keen and a knowing man, as one would suppose, but he is born under an unlucky star. As soon as he backs a horse, the chances of the animal dwindle down to zero. To be sure, when he first came into the Ring he had a small burst of luck, which seems to have turned his head ever since. That was the famous year of the great race between the noted mare Protection and the celebrated horse Free Trade. " Free Trade," as we all know, won in a canter. But who trained the horse ?—not Mr. Bright. :We can well remember how a sharp young Corinthian— Charles Villiers—took the horse in hand as a colt, and brought him into form, although everybody was sneering at him for his pains, and foretelling failure and defeat. Then the famous Sussex :trainer, Richard Cobden, took the horse up, and worked him into a long stride with such infinite pains and perseverance that his ulti mate tuccess was a certainty. Mr. Bright no doubt fell upon his feet that time ; but what has been the story since he took to training on his own account ? There was another mare, " Economy," got by Hume out of Budget, which was very fairly placed indeed till Mr. Bright backed her, and then straightway she was beaten by " Extravagance"—a horse which had quite fallen into the rear of public opinion. Well, then, " Peace" was John Bright's next ee n tnre, hut, as we all unfortunately remember but too well, that fiery horse " Crimea" mulled that little calculation into pieces. All this was bad enough, and the members of the Ring were begin ning to lose faith in Mr. Bright's judgment, but he is such a bold, outspoken man that it requires some nerve to count up his mistakes to him, even when the mistakes are as palpable as so many broken bottles. His friends insisted that he should have another trial, and that it should be a solemn one. There was a colt left of the old " Reform" stock— the great mare of Earl Grey's lot in 1831—and once more the human race would pin their faith on John Bright. lie might take up the Reform colt, train her as he pleased, select his own jockey and time of running—in fact, do what he pleased so that he won. We ask all bystanders and spectators to de termine in what condition this mare has been brought out of the stable. We have seen the trial gallops, and now at the critical moment 23 to 3 against Mr. Bright's two-year-old is freely taken. Well, some people may say here is an undecided event, and miracles are never out of date; but what will any one say to the race of Monday last? John Bright would ride the well-known horse " Paper Duty" himself, although warned that he had no qualification, save wind, to fit him for the discharge of so delicate a duty. He was far above weight, he was known to be short in his temper, but no thing would serve him but to put on a brown jacket and gray sleeves, and ride the horse himself. There had been so much dust raised about the matter, and so much brag about Paper Duty's stride, that the ruck were disheart ened. Paper Duty was carrying Bright for vie tor y, when he could n o l onger k eep hi s temper under control, although Paper Duty was well past the distance-post. One dig with his spur, one cut with his whip, and the horse was thrown out of his stride, and the " Old Earl" beat him hollow. Now, is this proper riding ? Is this the jockey, the backer, the trainer in whom we are to repose fur ther confidence ? Granting that in each of these instances something like a case can be made out for John Bright, still he is Mourad the Unlucky. Many other scraps of sound scholarship might be picked up on the Epsom Course to-day. Why will Air. Gladstone play at Aunt Sally on the na tional account ? Each of the sticks which he casts in so janty a manner at the venerable face of that lady costs money. The game of throwing good money after bad is a losing one, and there must be a grievous to-morrow behind the merriment of to day, unless merriment be tittctured with discretion. No doubt, great license is allowed on the Derby day, but it does not look well, to say the least of it, when we see a man so keen after his sport that he not only exhausts all his own cash but anticipates his next quarter's income, and all because he will have that short pipe out of Aunt Sally's dusky lips at all hazards, Many other analogies between the political and sporting circumstances of the times present themselves readily enough to the imagina tion ; but considerations of space forbid us to pro ceed further with them here. Let us augur cloud lesst skies and a happy day for the thousands o whom this great national gathering is a festivity t indeed. At least we are happy in this respect,— that, e°P h e o . l holyday as join against camp, YY county t w h e at a , r w e h a a h te a y p e p r y o a u n r d m a o u m a 7 e taz diffi i culties e can y . l o a i e n , cordially and heartily , in such a it c h a o m e p t dread of foreign hoe ll serious d • domestic strife. Whatever may be the animosities between political they parties we may say indeed in this country that t aw i g l i i at t hi y no , su s t o t c w boeu e inn a tg r y e 'd f a r i v e ni e dd f e r wd o m are but skin deep, rather resembling the rivalry of the course than the deadly hatreds which we see existing between members of the same com munity in foreign lands. The Derby-day is a kind of marking period in our annual history. We, take it as an epoch, and ask ourselves what has occurred to disquiet us or afflict us as a nation between this day and the corresponding day of last year. The period has, indeed, been singularly free from cala mity, either of pestilence, war, or famine, or any of the great scourges which afflict humanity. May we be able to give as good an account of ourselves on the next Derby-day ! The Stock Exchange Committee yesterday unani mously confirmed the suspension of the four members em ployed by Pullinger in his speculations. By a misprint yesterday it was made to appear that their case had been rendered less serious in the eyes of the committee by soma exceptional circumstances, but it is only one of the parties„ Mr. Braddock, who stands in this position. His suspension consequently is limited to three months, while that of Messrs. R. Johnston, T. Uzielli, and Sheldon will ton tinue to the 25th of March, when the powers of the present committee expire. M. Mires, the Paris millionare, it is said, %assures to his daughter and son-in-law, Prince de Poli.gnac, by marriage contract, 120,000 f. a-year, two carria ges, with horses and servants, and an apartment in his . o tel in the Rue Neuve des Mathurins.
