CAMP BELL in his admirable remarks at the Whittington Club, which appeared in yesterday's &Fun, on the course which ought to be taken by the Liberal party in regard to the Ballot and the Government Reform Bill. His views are, indeed, the same as those we have for some time entertained and ex pressed. Not for a moment doubting Mr. BRIGHT'S sincerity as a Reformer, or that of those who work with him, we have said, and we still think,that regard for Lord JOHN RUSSELL —a half personal regard, perhaps—has misled them. It is, therefore, very gratifying to us to see the son of the Lord Chancellor of England urging with a force of common sense and logic which cannot easily be met, the claims of the Ballot to a place in the new Reform Bill. Mr. AYRTON, also, at the meeting referred to, spoke with great effect, and we trust that the result of the whole will be to embolden Mr. BERKELEY and his supporters to a more business-like course. The cry of " obstruction" will of cours e be raised by a Knoll knot of formal reformers. V e nor does Mr. CAMPB L anythin g l ef the snoortt: Heaven forbid we si;sould obstruct any political good the Whig leaders and the Tiouse of Commons would do —we know it will be :tittle enough. But we may be allowed to protest ag vinßt their converting such good as they would do, i n , to a bait—a bait to catch honest Reformers, and dep..”ive them of the life of their party. This we believe to be the true light in which to regard the offer of A cowiderable extension of the suffrage without protection of the voter's independence. Mr. BRIGHT and his friends say—" Oh, let us get an increase of voters, and they will soon get us the Ballot." It may be so, but vi e think the chances are quite the other way, and we thank Mr. CAMPBELL for speaking out in such manly style on that aspect of the case. We cannot for a moment doubt that he will do the same in the House of Commons. Let the House, by all means, have public notice that if it shelves the Ballot now, it shall do it with full knowledge of what it is doing, and that the country also shall know it. There is, indeed, little need to argue longer the merits of the Ballot, or to meet the stock objections of special pleaders, and men afraid to part with ill-gotten power. What we now want is—busi ness. The case is proved. Two hundred and thirty free members of the Liberal party—that is more than two-thirds of it—have pronounced it proved. We must now show that "we mean busi ness." Another formal motion for " leave to bring in a bill" is not the requirement of the hour. Mr. BERKELEY must take higher ground; indeed, if he do not, we know that there are gentlemen in the House disposed and prepared to do so. Feeble, indeed, will be the impression produced by the announcement, tacit or expressed," We shall bring forward our annual bill; but, gentlemen on the Treasury benches, make yourselves comfortable—if you reject it, we shall give just as hearty support to your bill," This is not business. It is moon shine. It will produce no impression on a practical house and a practical people. It will be dismissed with good-tempered smiles by men in office, and with sneers by their bitter anti-reforming though party supporters. Now, we call on Mr. BERKELEY, and on the Society of which he is the president, to take quite another course. Let them come prepared to say— "We will give you no rest, we will be at you in every way the forms of the house permit, unless you allow the Ballot to become a part of the Re form Bill." We know how such an avowal will be met. Those who unite to make it will be abused handsomely enough by Whig Members and by Whig journals. " Never mind," as old COBBETT would have said, " Your demand is right—you only make it and stick to it, and you will see what a commotion you will raise." The Ballot cause now wants nothing but boldness, steady, considerate, intelligent boldness, on the part of its leaders. It is a good cause, as those leaders well know ; but it is damaged, from session to session, by being brought forward, not as a cause which they seem determined should succeed, but as one only re quiring a passable annual speech, or at most two. When once the leaders speak as meaning to do something, they will find a debate arise such as we have not lately had on the ballot. The consideration which Mr. CAMPBELL pressed so strongly on the meeting is one of the greatest weight. If the Whigs can wriggle with their Reform Bill ou their backs through this session, we may not soon and easily gain public attention again. People will say—let us try the new scheme a little first. Bat there is a worse result than mere procrastination to be dreaded. If the Whigs san but succeed in getting a few elections with their extended suffrage and without the Ballot, those few elections will have so trained all the new electors in the old malpractices, that the diffioulty of carrying the Ballot may be increased, at the very time that the need of it will certainly be increased. The first feeling of the new voters will, we doubt not, be strongly in favour of the Ballot, but after they have tasted the sweets of borough cor ruption,and worn the yoke of county intimidation, they will become active or passive opponents of secret voting. Not a word, of course, was elicited from Lord JOHN RUSSELL yesterday on the subject. He talked enough about punishments for bribery, but nothing about cutting off the means of tempta tion; and not one word did he say about the uni versal coercion of the counties. He even deplored the difficulty of detecting bribery, and yet seemed quite to forget that he, and the most intelligent men of his party, had once pro posed that it should be made difficillt to commit. There is no hope from him, if left to his own course, but there is every hope if the real friends of the Ballot will open their eyes to their true position, and announce that they shall now give up its merely formal adTocacy, and declare that the Ballot shall be a part of the Reform Bill of 1860. At a dinner given yesterday evening at the Albion Tavern, to celebrate the 72d anniversary of the foundation of the Australian colonies, various speeches were made, all more or less eulogistic of the advancement and government of our dependen cies at the antipodes. The Chairman, Mr. J. E. FITZGERALD, in proposing the health of her MA JESTY'S Ministers, dwelt at some length on the ulti mate separation of the colonies from the mother country. That Australia will sooner or later become an independent republic like America few doubt, but those who anticipate an early day for such an event will find themselves mistaken. They must bear in mind that England can never again resort to the suicidal policy she attempted with her trans• atlantic possessions. The Australian colonies have in effect all the advantages of a republican go- vernment, joined to the protection afforded by their connexion with the British Empire. The eeeen. tric Doctor Lang, of Sydney, is the only man in al] the colonies who has declared for an unconditional separation, or, as he terms it "cutting the painter" and the contempt with which his proposition was re ceived on all sides gave a fair indication of the feel ings of the public. It would have been more satisfac tory to the well-wishers of Australia if, at a meet ing of gentlemen, all more or less interested in her advancement, some mentio❑ had been made of that all-important subject of present agitation—the land question ; bat what with personal compliments and other customary formalities the question on which the real prosperity of Australia depends was over- looked altogether. When the flocks and herds of the early colonists in New South Wales began to multiply, and the sheep farmers and stockholders to assume the rank of gentry, it became incumbent on the Legislature to assign certain districts or " runs" to each and every one of the numerous claimants of such privi leges ; these assignments were necessary to prevent disputes, and certain laws were enacted regarding tLem, regulating the number of cattle or sheep re quired for a given area. New South Wales was at that time dependent on her wool and tallow for her exports, agriculture being little attended to. Something of the American system of squatting was resorted to; proprietors sought good pasture beyond the limits of the surveys, and even the settlements of the white men. It was their inte rest so to do, and the Government encouraged it by granting runs, with long leases, at nominal rents. The extent of these runs may be conceived, when we state that several at the present day exceed one hundred square miles in extent. The squatters were not backward in availing themselvesof the advantages held out by the Government. There were men of enterprise and spirit amongst them. The first merino sheep were introduced into the colony by a LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1860. ' Mr. M'ARTiIuR, and care has been taken by the colonists to foster and improve the breed. Within the last few years we find the name of WARTHUR again before the public, in conjunction with those of Messrs. LOYD and LEDGER, engaged in the importation of alpacas from South America. When a few adventurers determined, in spite of previous failures, to settle in Victoria, liberal grants were given to the stockholders, much on the same prin ciple as that adopted in New South Wales. South Australia, of course, was different; being specially an agricultural country the squat ters were there a secondary power ; while in New South Wales and Victoria they were omnipotent. The former being here in the ascendant, the squat ters had to seek for runs on the banks of the Mur ray, leaving the plains and fertile valleys to the husbandman. When the gold diggings broke out "a change came o'er the spirit of the dream" of Victoria. A few years wrought wonders ; and although the Government lease did not protect the runs of the squatters from the researches of the miner, still it was felt to be a grievance that so much land should be taken up for pastoral purposes when it could be so much more profitably employed for agriculture, while Victoria was de pending on South Australia and America for flour, while thousands of rich acres were lying idle within her own boundaries. But the country was wide; and if the squatter held part, still there was enough, and to spare. " Let the Government survey new ground, and let us purchase and cultivate," was the cry. The Exe cutive, after much delay, did extend their surveys, and land, in small quantities, was thrown into the market at an upset price of XI per acre ; but now the squatters were aroused; were they to suffer small agriculturists to settle down among then to impound their cattle and curtail their runs ? No, that would never de. Backed by the Melbourne banks, they entered the market and ran up allot ments beyond the means of the would-be small purchasers, and, in certain cases, sublet the pro perty to those, who but for their intervention, would have been the proprietors of the soil. The matter has stood thus for some years in Victoria, but the time has come when a change must take place. The people of Australia are no longer the wild, devil-may-care class they were seven or eight years ago. Then the sole desire of the digger or speculator was to amass wealth, and leave a country alike destitute of com fort and safety; but things are now altered— an efficient police organisation has rendered the roads comparatively secure, and the vast influx of immigrants has, as a matter of course, brought with it not only the necessaries, but even the luxuries of life. Consequently, when a storekeeper, gold-digger, or other adventurer ha: gathered . together an inde pendence, he would, if possible, settle down in the land of his adoption, rather than return to a country where, after a long absence, he might find all his former associates dispersed. It is this feeling which is now moving the people of Victoria to combine ; for although the Victorian Government is not altogether free from blame, it is not fair to lay that to their charge, which by right and justice belongs to a negligent and apathetic public. It is impossible for a Minister, however good his intentions may be, to carry a bill through the house of Assembly when the majority is against him; and if the free and independent electors will not return men to rote in favour of measures conducive to their interest, let them thank :her own want of foresight and promptitude rather than animadvert on those who, without the support of the great body of the electors, cannot do justice to the country in the face of a well organised and determined body of men who represent one of the richest and most influential sections of society. What is at present required for Australia generally, and for Victoria in particular, is, that the crown lands should be thrown open to the public for free selec tion, of course reserving such as are supposed to be auriferous, and such as, from their peculiar posi- tion, may command special attention. If already surveyed, let the first applicant take what ground he requires at the upset price of £l, or whatever price may be determined, but we do not think that Ll per acre would be objected to when the pur- chaser has a free selection ; and if unsurveyed, let the settler who first sits down on the land, when the survey reaches him, purchase his section or half section, as the case may be, on the same terms as though he had applied for it at th• Surveyor- General's-office as surveyed land. And, as a check on laud speculators who would buy up allotments to make money out of them by a resale when the property had advanced in value, lot there be a heavy tax levied on all estates which had lot, within a year after the date of purchase, a certain proportion fenced in and cultivated. Thus would the harpies who prosper by the exigencies of their country be held at bay, and h ones t i n d us t ry reap the fruits of its labour. Civil and Religious Liberty, once so popular a rallying cry in this country, has latterly almost died out and been forgotten. For the simple rea son that that grand twin boon has long since been realised by Englishmen. It is already a year or two since the very last of the religious disabilities, for example, was abolished, when the Jew was first enabled to take his seat in Parliament amongst the ranks of the popular representatives. If we nevertheless have ourselves broken down the barriers of intolerance which hitherto impeded the national progress im the development of our civil and religious institutions—it is still far other wise beyond the boundaries of the great empire ruled by the sceptre of our constitutional sove reignty. However, little reason, therefore, we may have now amongst ourselves to hearken to the echoes of the old cry of Civil and Religious Liberty (having ourselves now the "material guarantees" of both), we have peculiar cause, fur that very reason, to thrill with responsive sympathy when the old rallying signal comes resounding to us from a dis tance, from some remote and still struggling nationality. It has been so—how long shall we say ?—alas ! but too long in the instance of the gallant and heroic Hungarians. Often and chival rously as they have fought for their civil and reli gious liberties, they have yet to achieve the victory. The day of their eventual triumph, we may now rest assured, will not be much longer in com ing. In anticipation of that day the citizens of Glasgow have but just now passed a series of aus picious Resolutions—fraught with encourage. went to the hopes of Hungary and the Hungarians. The First of these Resolutions, moved by the 'Rev. GEORGE JEFFREY, seconded by JOHN HENDERSON, of Park—" That the citizens of Glas gow have witnessed with profound sympathy and hearty admiration the manly attitude assumed by the Protestants of Hungary, in resolutely opposing the encroachments on, and despotic interference with, their religious liberty and chartered rights of independent self-government in Church and School." The second, moved by the Rev: Dr. ANDERSON, seconded by ALEXANDER HASTIE,ESII. " That this meeting expresses its high appreciation of the support and high-minded countenance which the Roman Catholics of Hungary are lending to their Protestant brethren in upholding their rights." The third—moved by the Rev. Dr. R OB SON, and seconded by W. P. PATON--" That this meeting, while acknowledging the principle that every nation has an absolute right to regulate its own affairs, including form and manner of Govern ment, desires to assure the Hungarian nation that it never ceased to feel the liveliest sympathy for its wrongs, and would hail with intense satisfaction its restoration to national freedom and independence." The fourth and last of these resolutions, moved by the Rev. Dr. SMYTH. Seconded by Bailie YOUNG. " That this meeting expresses its unbounded ad miration of the character and efforts of the cham pion of Hungarian liberty, Louis KOSSUTH', and appoints the chairman to request the illustrious Magyar to convey to his ratriotic countrymen the sentiments of the meeting, as well as to express the hope that he may soon find it convenient to visit Glas gow, to explain more at length, than in his recent admirable letter, the grounds on which the people of Hungary are entitled to the cordial sympathy of every lover of civil and religious freedom in this country." We doubt not that these expressions of earnest sympathy will resound hopefully from that public meeting at Glasgow across Europe to the homes and hearths of the patriotic Hungarians. ACCELERATION OF NORTHERN DAY MAIL FROM LONDON. ALTERATION IN TIME OF POSTING NEWS. PAPERS AT TIIE CHIEF OFFICE. - - - On the Ist of February, and thenceforward, the day mail from London to the North will be despatched earlier than at present, and will be accelerated. In consequence of this alteration, the latest time for re • ceipt of Newspapers at the Chief Office, St. Martin's le-Grand, at the Lombard-street Branch, and at the prin cipal office in each postal district, for despatch by day mail to the North will be-6.45 a.m. without a late fee. Newspapers will be received at the chief office only, on payment of a late fee of one half-penny each, up to 7 o'clock. The change will apply to newspapers by day mail for the whole of Scotland, and for such towns in England as receive their day mails by the London and North-Western or Great Northern line of railway. The time for posting letters will remain as at present, viz., at the Chief-Office and Lombard -street Branch until 7.45 a.m., and at the principal offices in each postal district until 7.15 a.m.—By command of the Postmaster- General, ROWLAND HILL, Secretary.

OFF TO THE DIGGING.-391, Strand.—The gold fields have lost a great deal of the interest which they once excited, and the present exhibition is more likely to meet with support from returned diggers, who will visit it just to see whether a true representation of a gold field can be got up in the mother country ; but we advise any one who wishes to understand the mode of working all kind of aurefrous ground in Australia, and the various mechanical contrivances used by the miner, to pay a visit to this model, which is a faithful representation of the appurtenances of a gold field.

FIRE AT A LUNATIC ASYLUM. --The inhabitants of Wells were on Wednesday last, about 10 o'clock, pain fully excited by a report that the Lunatic Asylum, contain ing at present about 400 inmates was on fire. Upon pro ceeding thither it was found that the laundry and appur tenant offices had become ignited, it is supposed from the overheating of the hot water apparatus. The Wells fire engine was soon on the spot and at work, and there being a good supply of water, the fire was confined to the place where it originated. The damage is roughly estimated at £4OO to £5OO. Arrangements had been inede in anticipa tion of the flames spreading for the removal of patients from those parts which were is danger, but fortunately such a step was unnecessary. The loss is covered by insurance. —Sherborne Journal. NEW METHOD OF BEEFING AND FURLING SAILS. When a ship is short-handed it is difficult to set or take in sail. Ships in the Indian Seas are manned, very frequently, with eolonred.seamen, and they cannot always be persuaded to go aloft on a dark windy night to furl the top-gallant sails or royals. The consequence is that full advantage cannot be taken of the canvas, and the the voyage is re tarded. If a steamer is manned by Lascars it follows that the consumption of coal must be increased if the upper sails are not set whon the wind permits. The ships of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have coloured seamen on board of them in the Red Sea; and if by any pro cess the sails can be quickly set, and taken infrom the deck, the company would be much advantaged by its adopti on . Captain H. F. Finlay comes forward with an invention which accomplishes this object. He has taken out a patent for reefing and furling. The latter is the most useful, for by means of a few rings on the sail, and a rope to the mast head, the sail is run out to the yard arms when hoisted, and runs in again to the bunt when the yard is down. The sail is then brailed to the mast, like a staysail, and the sheets can be kept home. If the wind freshens the sheets are let me, the dews and the bunt line hauled up, and then the sail is brailed to the mast, and as it is furled up and down with the mast, on fore part, it is well protected from the weather. In harbour a line round it, and a jacket over it, gives the line a neat appearance. In reefing a topsail fitted with this contrivance the points are made fast to the rings on the yard, so as not to interfere with the working of the sail. The patentee, who has been master of steam and sailing ships for 21 years, believes that if a ship of war was fitted with his invention, a smaller number of hands would be required on deck to work the sails, they would be pro tected from rifle balls, and allow a greater number of men to fight the guns. WATER - IN PARlS.—There is one all-sufficient reason why the French use as little water in their houses as they can avoid. It is peid for by the bucket. The system of egoats, or drains, for supplying water to cleanse the streets, to fill fire-engines, and to carry off the rain -water, is com plete; but every drop of water for household purposes is brought to the door in butte, and retailed by the watercar riers, who are a powerful corporation, numbering 10.00 e, with whose privileges no government, since waterworks were invented, has been strong enough to interfere. The Emperor is strong, and called absolute ; but he has many masters, not the least of whom is the water-carrier of Paris. Nothing could be easier than to supply Paris with water to the very attics, for the Seine has a greater fall than the Thames at Richmond Bridge ; but every attempt to intro duce waterworks is opposed,by the water. carriers, who will not allow water to be taken from the fountains in greater quantities than in bucketfuls, except by themselves, and it is a hazardous thing for a touch-and-go dynasty to throw 10,000 able -bodied men out of employment —Once a Week. ASIICOMBE WOOD MURDER.—It is said to be not improbable that the trial of the Spaniard, Serafin Manyano, who is now in the Devizes prison, charged with the horrible murder of Anastatia Trowbridge, at Berwick St. John, may be removed to London, in order that he may have the full benefit of a right to which he is by law enti tled, viz., the right to be tried by a jury composed of half foreigners. But should such be the case, ho would, in the event of being found guilty, be brought back to Devizes to be executed. The man's demeanour, since his confinement, would, but for the strong evidence that was adduced at his examination before the magistrates, induce a doubt that he could really have been guilty of so foul and bloody a deed as he is charged with having committed. He appears to be one of the most simple-hearted, good-natured cheerful little fellows that can possibly be conceived, and is always the same to everybody who comes in contact with him—whe ther it be the chaplain, the surgeon, the governor, or the turnkey. He has been visited in prison by the Spanish Consul, and also by a Roman Catholic priest, who left with him a Bible printed in the Spanish language, for he can hardly speak a word of English. He is only 29 years of age, and about five feet seven inches high,—Sl erborne Journa(, LATEST' NEWS. THE COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 26. The Constitutionnel publishes several articles of the commercial treaty between France and Eng land, which are as follow : On and after the Ist of July, 1860, the import duties on cotton and wool will be suppressed.

Ahmct Wifik Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador to the French Court, will leave for Paris at the end of this month. NAPLES. PARIS, JAN. 26, The Paine of this evening says :—A telegram received from Naples, dated the 25th inst., does not mention that General Filangieri had tendered his resignation, nor does it state that the Neapolitan Cabinet was in a state of dissolution." CIRCULAR BY M. THOUVENEL. The following circular was addressed yestersday by 31. Thouvenel to the foreign Ambassadors at Paris : Monsieur, —You are aware that the Emperor, by a decree dated the 4th inst., has deigned to entrust to me the Department for Foreign Affairs. In entering to-day upon the functions to which I have been called, I congratulate myself on the re lations I am empowered to maintain with you. Full of confidence in your personal intentions, I shall do my utmost to create concord in our mutual efforts for maintaining and consolidating the friendly relations which exist between the Govern ment of his Majesty the Emperor of the French and the Government of his Majesty—(here the name of the foreign country is added).

A letter dated Pesth, Jan. 21, says : " Though in reality sore afraid at the turn things have taken in Italy, the Austrian Government is making its newspaper organs, both at home and abroad, talk in Bobadil strain. ' The Emperor of Austria,' cries the Borsenhalle of Hamburg, one of the most zealous of these organs, ' will not go to war to restore the dethroned Sovereigns or to defend the Pope ; but if an attempt bemade to take a single inch of Venetia his Majesty will fight. And a for midable man is the Emperor. He has only to make a sign with his hand and the most warlike nation in Europe will rse en masse, arms in hand, in his defence.' Of course, by the most warlike nation in Europe' Hungary is meant. Now it would not perhaps be polite to tell the Boersenhalle and its patrons at Vienna that it says what it knows to be contrary to truth. But it really is impossible to believe that the Hapsburgs and their advisers are so infatuated as to suppose for one moment that Hungary would rise in their de fence' under any circumstances whatever. They must know that the 10 years' oppression she has endured have made the Hapsburgs and their creatures hateful in her sight, and that the fact that the deaths of many of her noblest sons, and the imprisoning and exiling of many more, are still unavenged, weighs on her conscience as the unavenged murder of his father did on the conscience of Hamlet. They must know that the Hungarians see clearly that the per secutions of the, Protestants, and a hundred other events of recent occurrence--the dismis sal of Baron Hubner because he was friendly to Hungary. the exiling of the Archduke Maximilian because he recommended concessions to Hungary, and the refusal of the Archduke Stephen to accept the Governorship of the country, in order not to have hand or part in the oppression which he sees the Viennese Government is bent on maintaining— the Hapsburgs, I say, must know that all these circumstances demonstrate to the Hungarians that there is no hope whatever of a reconciliation being ever effected between them and their rulers. And therefore it is childish for the Austrian news papers to prate about the aid which the most war like nation in Europe' will render to the Hapsburgs. is worse than childish—it is insulting—for to aid the Hapsburgs is to aid tyranny all over Europe, and especially in Italy; and it would be infamous for a nation which is aspiring to be free to do that. Assist the Hapsburgs, indeed! Why, in the Italian war the Hungarians were on the very point of rising in insurrection against them, and probably would have done so if the war had only lasted one short fortnight longer ! Yet the Hungarians were not then so exasperated against the Hapsburgs as they now are—all the na tionalities, religions, and classes into which they are divided were not bound together in hatred of them as they are now. Heaven help the Haps burgs if they trust in the Hungarians! Depend upon it that the next limp thi s family shall see HungarisTA swords flash, aid hear the clatter qf fitingarian horses—they will be in sore 4ismay, and, ten to one, will be flying like sheep attacked by the wolf. " The high Catholic clergy lose no opportunity of showing how heartily they sympathise with the national movement in which their countrymen are engaged. The Bishop of Erlau, Mgr. Bartakovics, has, for example, just sent the magnificent sum of £l,OOO English to the fund for building a palace for the National Academy at Pesth, and his chapter has given a like sum. Nothing causes more anxiety to the Austrian Government than to see that the Roman Catholic clergy are every whit as national, and are as earnestly bent on regaining the national treaties, as the rest of their countrymen." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived. M. Mon, Ambassader at Paris, had left for his post, and was accompanied by M. Pidal, proceeding to Paris for the benefit of his health. Tho death of M. Ordonez, who was at one time Minister of the Interior, is announced. A general inventory was about to be made of the works of art in cathedrals, churches, and religious houses. A million of ball cartridges had been prepared at Valencia, and were about to be sent to Africa. A letter says : " Negotiations for peace with Morocco are talked of. It is said that immediately after the capture of Tetuan, which place is not expected to make a se rious resistance, as it i■ armed only with old can non, and as the Moors are suffering from sickness and famine, a treaty of peace will be signed at Tangier; and that the basis of it will be an indem nity to Spain for war expenses, to be paid in three years ; the cession of the tract of land from Ceuta to the Sierra Bullones, that is, the territory al ready conquered ; and a solemn engagement'on the part of the Emperor of Morocco to guarantee the Spaniards against the aggressions of the tribes of Anghera, who are to be confined to clearly defined limits. If peace be not concluded no doubt is en tertained that the Spaniards will march against Tangier, and reinforcements of 14 battalions, in which are included the Basque and Catalonian volunteers, are being collected in all haste at Cadiz and Malaga." TUB NEW SARDINIAN MINISTRY. A letter from Turin dated, Jan. 22, says that Count Cavour, whom the King had invited to form a new Ministry, was able on Friday to announce to his Majesty that he had succeeded in performing the task entrusted to him, and yesterday morning the new Ministers were presented in order to be sworn in. They entered singly the bedroom of the King, who is still suffering from rheumatic gout, the result of a cold caught when his Majesty was out shooting. The King received with great affa bility these new counsellors, some of whom he had become acquainted with on other occasions----with General Fauti, for instance, on the field of battle, not to speak of Count Cavour, who for a number of years had been no stranger at court. You have already been minutely informed of the causes of the fall of the late Ministry; therefore you will certainly not be deluded by the polemical writings of those imprudent friends that did it so much harm. They wish to insinuate that the fall was owing to an intrigue, and they represent Sir James Mudson, the resident Minister of England, as one who took part in it. But in truth there was no intrigue at all, neither French nor English ; it was owing solely to the pressure of public opinion, which found expression in the festivities in Central Italy as soon as the people heard that Count Cavour had come back to office. Similar festivities are beginning here, although we are far less excitable than the Tuscans. Yesterday even ing accordingly several thousand persons assembled before the count's residence to cheer and welcome him. It is superfluous for me to enumerate the reasons why this statesman is valued so highly by the Ita lians. His name is now celebrated all over Europe, of course most so in England, where it is well known the Count studied deeply your political institutions, add that he was always devoted to the English al liance rs far as this was compatible with the inte rests of the King and of Italy. You know well it was his ardent desire to send our soldiers to fight by your side in the Crimea. He never swerved from this policy, unless it was when the Derby Cabinet inclined to show itself the friend of our enemies, and gave symptoms of forcing liberal and constitutional England into an alliance with the brutal despotism of Austria. Warm admirer as Count Cavour was and is of your governmental system, it grieved him so much the more to see the Derby Cabinet favour ing that Austria which had but just concluded the Concordat with the Pope for enabling her to increase her tyranny twofold. Events, however, have shown that the compact was in fact a source of weakness, and as bad a political device as could well be. You know the count to be a political economist, and you have followed the great reforms he effected here— reforms attempted now in France by Napoleon 111., who will have to cont en d aga i nst o l d prejudices. We see with the great es t pl easure i n those projected reforms of his a new bond between France and England, and we trust the two powerful nations may the more readily favour the Italian resurrec tion, which, apart from the abstract justice of the cause, may be of great practical utility to those na tions that are her friends. Doubtless you are familiar with the name of Gen. Fanti, seeing with what intelligent zeal he has been organising the army of Central Italy. The proof of his worth which he has given us there assures us that he will be a worthy colleague of Cavour's, as a sound and liberal Minister of War. The general, like almost every other meritorious Italian, has been persecuted in his time. He is a native of Modena, from which place, having become mixed up with a liberal plot when quite a youth, he hai to fly. He gave there great promise as a mathematician, but, being an exile, he first served as a soldier in Spain, where he won on fields of battle his steps of promo tion and his honours. He became a colonel and chief officer of the staff. In France he acquired reputa tion as an engineer ; but in 1848 he abandoned everything to come and serve in the revolutionary war for the independence of Italy. Although he was now a general, the anarchy was so great, that he had no scope for his high military qualities, and accordingly he withdrew into the shade. It was General La Marmora who again brought him into public life by employing him in the Crimean expe dition, on which occasion your generals recognised him to be a superior officer of no ordinary merit. Neither at Magenta nor at San Martino, though a general of division, had he any opportunity of bril liant exploits, a n d common f ame neg l ec t e d him then. B u t h e i s a man o f ster li ng qua lit ies , a nd his selection for the post he now holds is of good omen for the cause of annexation. The Count Terenzio Mamiani della Revere is to be the new Minister of Public Instruction. He was born at Pesaro at the beginning of the century, and he is older by about ten years than his two col leagues whom I have already mentioned. The cele brated poet Leopardi was his cousin. As a politi cal man Count Mamiani is known on account of he persecutions he endured from and after the year 1831; having been arrested during his flight he was thrown into prison with other Itomagnols, and then transported to Venice. For fifteen years he was an exile in France, but in 1848 he returned to Italy, and became at Rome Pio Nono's Minister, but that was in his Holiness's reforming d a y s. Having once more emigrated in 1849, he came to Piedmont. At Genoa he founded an academy of Italian philosophy. Then he acquired the rights of Sardinian citizenship, and was elected deputy for Genoa, and shortly afterwards filled the chair as professor of the philosophy of history in the University of Turin. He is a brilliant orator and an elegant poet. He has been known to philo sophers for a quarter of a century through a work of his entitled "On the Renovation of Philoso phy," and now his work, "Di un Nuovo Diritto Europeo," adds celebrity to his name. The choice of this man reveals the enlarged views of Cavour, since his colleague will not be merely a Piedmon tese, but also an Italian Minister. The Minister of Finance is a worthy Piedmo n t ese lawyer, Signor V egezz i .

The new Cabinet will be this day for the first time presided over in Council by the King. Its first official act was to dissolve the Chamber of De puties and prepare the new Parliement. It will endeavour to send as Governor to Milan a man of reputation and consideration, I mean M. Massimo d'Azeglio, the uncle of the Sardinian Minister resi dent in London. It is hoped that the noble and celebrated personage in question will accept the post, as he will be sure to satisfy Milan, a city hard to please. FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN HARRISON. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. The mortal remains of the lamented Captain Harrison were removed from Southampton toLiver pool to-day, preparatory to interment in the family vault at the latter town to-morrow. Early this morning the bells of the various churches were rung a muffled peal, by order of the mayor and corporation, and during the progress of the funeral cortege from the late gentleman's residence to the railway minute guns were fired from the Platform Battery, imparting a melan choly interest to the solemnity of the scene. Flags, half mast, floated from all the public offices, private dwellings, and from the whole of the shipping in the docks and river. To testify the esteem in which the late captain was held the shops in every part of the town were closed, with few exceptions, and the private dwelling-houses showed evidence, by the blinds being closely drawn, that the occupants were not insensible to the loss the port, and indeed we may add the entire nation, has sustained. Shortly after half-past one o'clock the mournful procession moved from the deceased's intended residenee at Hill, about half a mile from the town, and slowly' wended its way up the Commercial road, passing down Above Bar and High-streets, Bridge and Oxford-streets, to the London and South-Western Railway Station, where the coffin was placed in the railway hearse and conveyed to Liverpool by the three p.m. train, amidst the un feigned regrets of some thousands who witnessed its departure. One mourigng coach followed the remains, con taining Mr. Thwers, the father-in-law of the cap tain ; Mr. Lynn, his brother•in-law ; Mr. M‘Guffy, and Master Harrison, eldest son of the deceased, a youth about fourteen years of age. Following the mourning coach was the carriage of Dr. Wiblin and Captain Lay. Then came Dr. Watson, sur geon of the Great Eastern, and the whole of the officers, with the exception of one, who remained in charge of the vessel, and a great portion of the crew. The body was enclosed in a shell, lead and oak coffins, the outer one of which was neatly covered in black cloth, with the following inscription en graven on a brass plate :—" William Harrison, died Jan. 21, 1860, aged 46." • The funeral arrangements were entrusted to Mr. Charles Brooks, undertaker, of this town, in con junction with Mr. Mayes. Mrs. Harrison still remains under the hospitable roof of Dr. Wiblin, from whom and from Mrs. Wiblin the bereaved lady is receiving the kindest attention. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.

We have again to report the arrival of a very moderate supply of English wheat, coastwise and by land-carriage. Although the show of samples was limited, the demand was inactive. Fine dry saniplas sold at fully Monday's prices, but other kinds were a dull inquiry. No foreign wheat has come fresh to hand this week, but the supply of granaried samples was good. The firmness of holders checked operations ; nevertheless, Monday's cur rency was supported. The inquiry for floating cargoes off Falmouth was much restricted. For nearly all kinds of barley—the supply of which was limited—there was a fair demand, at full quotations. Now malt was firm in price, but old parcels were a dull inquiry. Odts moved off freely, and good sound corn was rather dearer. Beans and peas maintained late quotations, and tho flour grade Was tolerably firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley M a lt. O ats Flour.
