Observe the Red Seal, Pink Labei and Oork Branded "Bina "i LL Whisky Public attention in Florence is greatly excited by ino r(27,2ccts of a Ministerial change. The resignation cf Signor Ferrari is ',coked upon by some as the forerunner cf other changes, and perhaps prophetic of the downfall of the whole Administration. On the other hand, some aver that the Ministry may meet Parliament s{rcngthened by the necessary changes that have taken place in its mem bers, and that there is no cause for the present insecurity ith respect to it. Major Lobbia is to take his trial at the Correctional Court in Florence on the 26th inst.,his offence being that he made a false ,charge cf assault. Signor Berguini's affair has given rise to a discussion on the position cf a " Precuratore del Re" in Italy, and various opinions prevail as to whether he is an independent autho rity, or dependent on the judgment of others. A clerk in the Public Justice Department stole Signor Borguini's letter to the Minister, and sent it to the Riforma for publication.

Great discontent exists in the Prussian Chambers at t'l3 Ministerial financial policy. The diious3ioas on the subject promise to be of the most animated character. The Chamber of Deputies has determined that the -question shall not be debated by a spe cial committee, but by tho full Chamber, and so great is the anxiety to secure a full attendance that the applications for leave of absence are mercilessly refused. At the first sitting, Count Furstenstein,Chamberlain to the Queen, was refused a month's leave to fulfil his Court duties. The early convocation of the Chambers is due solely to the Budget difficulty. Baron von der Heydt, the Finance Minister, explains part of his deficit by tho expenses occasioned by the Confederation of the North. The Confederate States persistently refuse to sanction a fresh increase of charges on the common expenses of diplomacy, chancery, &c., and, consequently, the general burdens weigh exclusively on Prussia. This reasoning has as yet failed to convince the deputies who are called upon to sanction a largo increase of ‘ taxation as well as a loan of 24 millions sterling which is to bo appropriated on the withdrawal of the Treasury bonds now in circulation.

September 1868.• Senator Sumner, according to common report, will ap pear upon the lecture platform this season to a much greater extent than ever before. He is annonnced to speak almost every night between October 11 and December 3, having 21 engagements in New England and 16 outside of it, in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. His lecture is entitled, " The Question of Caste." Wendell Phillips is reported to have more calls to lecture than he can comply with, while William Parsons, the Irish orator, says a Boston correspondent, is the most popular name in Now England among the new candidates for lyceum honours. Mr.Gough, owing to the labour incident upon the pi eparation of his autobiography and the illness of his wife, will lecture very little this season.—A letter from Mr. Carlyle is pub lished in the American Scotsman, a new weekly paper of New York, edited by John Stewart, addressed to William Denovan, reviewing his pamplet, " The Temple of Isis." Mr. Carlyle praises the intellect, the imagination, the earnest character of his friend, finding in his pamphlet a tone of sombre eloquence, and vestiges of real literary skill. Then he regrets that such powers should be operating in a chaotic field. He advises Mr. Denovan "not to em ploy his intellect on things where no intellect can avail— to sow good seed on realms of mere cloud and shadow ! The highest intellect which issues in no certainty has com pletely failed. The world of practice and fact is the true arena for its inhabitants—wide enough for any or for all intellects of men—and never lay more incumberod with sordid darkness, and pernicious delusions, than even now Probably you will not adopt this advice, almost certainly not at once ; nor shall that disaffect me at all. Your Tract I found throughout to be rather pleasant reading, and to have a certain interest ; nothing in it, ex cept one small Section, treating of a thing I never men tion, unless when compelled—the thing which calls itself ' Spiritualism' (which might more fitly be called Ultra- BRUTALISIC,' and 'LITURGY Of Dead-Sea APES')—was dis agreeable to me." _ . Strange accounts are given of the healing pro perties of a new oil, which is easily made from the yolks of eggs, and is said to be much employed by the German colo nists of South Russia, as a means of curing cuts, bruises, scratches, &c. The eggs are boiled hard, the yolks removed, crushed, and then placed over a fire, and stirred carefully tfll the whole substance is on the point of catching fire, when the oil separates and may be poured off. Hen eggs are considered the best, and nearly two teaspoonfuls of oil may be gained from a single yolk.—North German Cor respondent.

THE DISAIi3I&vizNT QUESTION. A motion in favour of a general disarmament has been presented to the Prussian Chamber of Deputies by the party of progress. No doubt Mr. Henry Richards' visit to Berlin is connected with this movement, as he is resolved to bring the question of exaggerated military expenditure before the Continental Chambers. The members of the national party are not united on this point, but if they were to combine they might be strong enough to carry the measure. They would naturally hesitate to move tho adoption of such a scheme until they had some intimation of the opinion of the French deputies on the subject. A RUSSIAN UNIVERSITY, The Russian Government is exerting itself strenuously on behalf of public instruction. The Minister of Public Instruction, Count Tolstoy, is now inspecting the various lyeees, giving at least three days to each institution. Tho new University of Warsaw is to be opened immediately. Its object is to prepare Russian subjects of Polish origin for the civil service, and it is indispensable that the instruction bo given in the Russian tongue. The rector of the university was fcrmerly a professor in the Univer sity of Kharkow. Ile has given all the professors of the former academy the choice of retaining their posts on con dition that they will obtain a degree from a Russian univer sityand teach in Russo. Thirty-five professors have accepted these terms; three old men, not liking them, have retired with pensions. The Government proposes to add another university to those of - Warsaw and Odessa. The third is to be erected at Saratow, on the Volga. In the provinces, how ever, there is still a deficiency of academies and of compe tent professors. The development of Russian relations with Central Asia has given rise to a demand for interpreters, and at Orenburg and Orusk the Persian, Tartar, and Kirg his languages are being studied. Interpreters who have passed through these institutions find immediate employ ment. THE CONFEDERATE LOSSES IN TILE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, Returns have recently been made of the losses of the Confederate army from battles, wounds, and disease during the four years of the war. General Cooper, Adjutant- General of the Confederate army, has admitted these figures to be "nearly critically correct." The numbers of killed, wounded, and prisoners are divided under separate heads for the different years, the sum total from 1861 to 1864-5 inclusive being 53,773 killed, 194,027 wounded, and 202,283 prisoners. The deaths from disease and wounds are only estimated, but the total number of deaths in the Confederate army in 1861-2 was 55,475, and the grand total of deaths in the army during the entire war did not fall far short of 200,000. This number, large as it is, is less than has been hitherto supposed, it having been often said that the war cost the South half a million lives. The available Southern force in the field did not during the whole war exceed 600,000 men, not more than twc thirds of that number being enrolled at any time ; and, exclusive of sick, wounded, and disabled, the Confederates never bad more than 200,000 men capable cf bearing arms in the field at ono time. One-third of the whole force were killed in battle or died of wounds and disease ; moro than another third were captured, and of tho rest one half were lost to the service by discharges and desertions. At the close of the war the available force scarcely num ; bored 100,000 men, who were left to bear the attack c -1,000,000 Federal troops. It is confidently announced in several quarters that the Government has decided, should the 26th pass over quietly, to convoke the Chambers immediately for: the completion of the extraordinary session. Eve,k precaution against a disturbance is being taken by\ the authorities, but it is determined that no action shall be taken unless some grave disorder occur. Marshal Canrobert has visited the barracks himself, to be personally informed of the state of their munitions. Marshal Bazaine, who was appointed to the command of the Imperial Guard on the • 15th, has lost no time in entering moon. his duties. He is in Paris to-day, and will commence his functions to-morrow. Already, I under stand, he has issued a very energetic order to the Imperial Guard. The National Guards of the Seine have petitioned the Government to allow them to take charge of the public safety on the 26th. The petition is numerously signed. M. Jules Simon has addressed a letter to the Gentlois respect ing the Clichy meeting. He explains the reasons which induced him and his colleagues to present them selves at the meeting, and declared L.. would do the same to-morrow. He manifests a little uneasiness respecting the prospects of the 26th. The Temps thinks his apprehensions are groundless, and it is true that every daZ. brings 'fresh adhesions to the manifesto of the Left, including the names of Barthelemy Saint Hilaire, and Girault. Nevertheless you will perceive from the facts I have mentioned that there is not perfect security on this subject at headquarters. A letter from M. Jules Alix, dated Oct. 18, announces that the public meetings of Belleville interrupted by the legal difficulties respecting the use of the salle will be resumed as soon as these formalities are disposed of. Meetings are announced for the next several days in diffe rent quarters, most of them for the discussion of questions affecting the interests of the working classes. The pro prietor of the Salle Moliere has ascertained that his license does not allow him to let his hall for public meetings, although such political gatherings have been held therefor nearly a year. A number of Parisian electors are about to send an address to the Deputies of the Left to protest against the treatment received by some of its members at the meet ing on the Boulevard de Clichy. Meetings of another character are announced by the Patrie. To-morrow the members of the Right are to assemble in the library of the Corps Legislatif to discuss the programme of the reforms which the Right wishes to initiate. A meeting of the Tiers Parti is to be held either at the Grand Hotel or at the house of M. Latour-du- Moulin. M. Moulin and the Marquis d'Andelarro are the promoters of this meeting, which is to decide the choice of the future President, Vice-President, and the other officers of the Chamber. The Pats-is contradicts the report that the Prefect of Police had expressed to the masters a desire that the strike should be over by the 26th of October, and also declares that very few defections from the ranks of the employers have taken place within tho last few days. The masters are, it is averred, quite determined to refuse the demands of their old shopmen, even at the risk of losing their former set. As yet the strike has not pro duced any injurious effects on the state of trade. Had the heads of the establishments consented to the terms at first imposed on them there is no doubt that tho claims of the shopmen would have increased. The other day there was an instance of this at the magazin of Notre Dame do Lorette, when the masters gave leave to shut up at eight. The indignant assistants went off because ten minutes were taken up in arranging the goods, and they were affronted because this task had not been begun before the specified hour. It has been decided that the new employes shall not be dismissed so long as they fulfil "their duties, and it becomes a serious question what those on strike are to do. It has been suggested in some quarters that they should connect themselves with new establishments, but these can hardly succeed unless they are carried on on the same principles as those houses they have deserted. The Emperor, it is said, will come to Paris on the 25th in order to be present in the event of any manifestation taking place. For the most part the idea of a general display has been abandoned, but a second party of agitators persists in its resolve to make political capital out of the disturbed state of public affairs. There has been some talk of another manifesta tion on the 2nd of November, but if the critical period of the 26th passes over quietly, it is not likely that any other attempt will be made to disturb the public peace. __
