There are people who still persist in believ ing that all this Faro bustle is a mere feint to in duce the enemy to collect the whole of his forces in Calabria, and that he means to steam off to the Gulf of Salerno, and land there. Other supposi tions are afloat, but, as I told you, nobody knows the inmost thoughts of Garibaldi. a Frenchmen are always liable to get into scrapes. Their glorious vanity is so great ; and, I hasten to add, their courage so undaunted, and even rash, that when they smell powder they must embark in the most daring enterprises. I have been told that last night a party of 20 Frenchmen who are making War en amateur, without Garibaldi's consent, got hold of a fishing-boat, and, armed to the teeth, attempted to land on the opposite shore. A dis charge of musketry had, however, the effect of quenching their ardour, and one of them was severely wounded in the breast. On their hasten ing to reach this shore, they met a Neapolitan man of-war, which at first seemed disposed to send them to the bottom. She did not, however, fire at them, to that they were able to return to the Faro. Garibaldi, on hearing the report of this foolish attempt, said that this was mere braggadocio. At last we have received news from our friends Who first touched the Calabrian shores. I hear that, after having marched the whole of the night, Alajor Missori met a column of Neapolitan troops Who seemed disposed to dispute his passage. Missori 41 a man who never counts the enemies he meets, and he went boldly to attack them. The fight was hard and long on both sides, but at last the Neapo litans gave way. Missori had six wounded, and lost another, who fell into the hands of the Neapo litans. These men had the barbarity to take the Poor fellow to Reggio, in spite of the advice of the Burgeon, who told them he would die on the way. Such was really the case, and I hear that if the Wounded prisoner had been left at Villa San Gio vanni his life would have been spared. From this fact we may infer that the Neapolitans are not Changed, and that they intend to carry on a war of extermination. You may depend upon it that they Will get the worst of it. When the Neapolitans retired Major Missori was allowed to march w i t h his men on Aspromonte, a small village which , as its name indicates, stands on the top of a mountain, and I hear that they are still there. In the course of yesterday they were joined by 150 Calabrian insurgents, all inhabitants of Villa San Giovanni. 4 4 the men able to carry a musket, and even some Women, have left Santo Steffano to join them. It may therefore be said that the revolution has already begun in Calabria. This will increase the difficulties of the Neapolitan army, which will thus be obliged to keep its ground in a hostile country. rumour is current in the camp this evening that au agent of the Neapolitan Court has been arrested. It appears that this man was despatched here to assassinate Garibaldi, and that he was caught Whilst loitering about the lighthouse of the Faro. am not in a position to state whether there is any truth or not in this report, but what is certain to ray mind is, that to perpetrate such a crime would he very difficult indeed, surrounded as the general always is by devoted officers. I had just written Bo much when I heard the fact confirmed by an °facer, who saw the prisoner whilst he was on the Point of being taken to Messina. He is a max about 40, and a Calabrian by birth. The rascal will be brought before a court-martial, and if his guilt is proved he will, I hear, be executed to morrow or the day after. MESSINA, AUG. 11. To give you an idea of the enthusiasm that Garibaldi's name awakens in men of every nation and condition, I must tell you that the desertions khongst the men-of-war lying in this harbour in crease every day. Your blue jackets are of course Of the number. Sons of a liberal and generous nation, they cannot help coming to give a lift to Garibaldi's army. Yesterday evening, at half- Past seven, whilst the first lieutenant was on deck of her Majesty's ship Scylla, to see the hammocks sent below, four mes jumped down into the captain's gig unobserved except by the sentry, who thought they were going on shore to fetch the captain, and pulled to the pier. All the boats were at the time hoisted except the gig and the launch. Two or three minutes after the sentry had observed the gig, the first lieutenant gave the order to hook her on, When it was found that she was missing. On inquiry it was discovered that the boat was seen Pulling ashore, and then it flashed across the first lieutenant's mind that the men in the gig had de serted. The launch was instantly manned and Pulled towards the. landing-place, where the gig Was found minus the men. An escort of marines Was immediately sent on shore to apprehend the desert ers who, after an hour of fruitless search, Were not to be found. The Commander of the Scylla waited on Garibaldi this morning, but, if I 4 rt correctly informed, he was told that as all the deserters from foreign ships enlist themselves under the assumed name of Brown or Smith, it was im- Possible for him to send the missing men on board. In this ingenious manner 26 sailors of her Majesty's ship Amphion deserted at Palermo, and the Sar dinian frigate Maria Adelaide lost at least double the number. I am not going to justify the desertion of these fellows, but when I remember they neglect their duty and risk their lives for the sacred cause of liberty, I cannot help excusing them. The katter, I am sure, will be looked upon in the same Point of view by your countrymen at home. Nothing of importance has occurred to-day. Garibaldi is always at the Faro, busily engaged in manning vessels and boats, collecting troops, and erecting new batteries. Major Missori's squadre have been greatly increased, and it is stated that it ilzambers already 1,500 good fighting men. This evening we saw large fires lit up on the ridges Which are above the forts of Scylla and Del Cavallo, and over the villages of Villa San Giovanni and Gallico. They are signals that Missori makes to the General from the Calabrian side of the strait. To-morrow the packet starts for England, and I shall not fail to add a postscript to my letter if there is any news of consequence. AUGUST 12, MORNING. An attack on the fort of Scylla was probably Made last night by Missori's party, which now numbers 2,000 men, for about 10.30 a brisk firing Was heard in that direction, and it lasted till 1.45. The heavy boom of artillery and the rattle of mus ketry were distinctly heard through the stillness of a splendid moonlight night. At the first shot heard, the alarm trumpet sounded from the citadel, but no bombardment has yet taken place. When the ac tion began on the extreme point of the Gulf at Fort Scylla, the Neapolitan cruisers fired rockets evert' moment, steaming up and down the gulf. They did not, however, fire against Garibaldi's batteries of Faro Point, or on the boats, which I hear were conveying more armed expeditions to the Calabrian coast. It is stated that the landing of those expe ditions, protected by the darkness of the evening— the moon did not rise till half-past 12 o'clock—was Successfully effected at three different points of the opposite coast. What is certain is t hat as soon as the sun set bonfires were distinctly seen all along the ridges above the Calabrian villages of Villa San Giovanni and Gallico. No doubt those fires were lighted either by Missori's party or by the Cala brian squadre, which has hoisted the flag of the na tional cause. If Missori has succeeded in capturing the fort of Scylla Garibaldi will be able to master the strait, and the landing of the whole of his army can be accomplished in comparative safety. Whether this is the case I shall be able to tell you in my next letter. It is understood • that engagements are being entered i n t o by the Spanish Government for the construe• tion in this country of eight first-class war steamers, which are expected to cost little less than £200,000 each. Spanish Government are also in the English marketie T fort h he Purchase of several thousand loads of oak timber, con tracts for which stipulate fo r the de p osit of £17,00h 0 caution money.

The Bank of England return, completed to the 15th August, shows some rather important varia tions. The public deposits, owing to the payment on the East Indian Loan, have been augmented by over a million sterling, while the private deposits show a corresponding diminution. In the other securities there is also a small falling off; but the reserve of notes has been slightly increased. The alterations in the bullion and the active circulation are of an important character. The various items, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation ..

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a further slight advance in the rates on Vienna and Trieste, and Hamburg was also rather higher. The steamer Pera, which leaves on Monday, the 20th, for India and China, will take out £324,333 —viz., £9,792 in gold and £312,015 in silver, of which £64,843 is remitted by the Government to Hong Kong, The tone of the Money Market is very firm, the current rate of discount for good bills being now 4 per cent., and as an important period of the year is approaching for the commercial and financial interests of the country, the prospect of dearer or cheaper money becomes a subject of greater atten tion. The tendency is now upwards, and long dated bills are taken with more reserve. The Bank returns, which necessarily tend to elucidate the general progress of monetary affair's, do not this week :present any special feature be yond the mere effects of the payment of the sub scriptions to the East India Railway Debenture Loan. The principal financial feature at the pre sent moment is the intended increase of Indian railway capital to the extent of £7,000,000, and by raising which the Government will be able to supply the deficiency in the revenue as compared with the expenditure. So far, there fore, as the Money Market is concerned the Indian financial operations are equal to a loan of £10,000,000, this being the total amount of new securities to be placed upon the market. There are, besides, £2,000,000 Exchequer Bills and £2,000,000 Exchequer Bonds of the Home Govern ment to be placed, through the medium of savings banks funds, and consequently, although not coming openly upon the market, necessarily absorb so much money as would otherwise have to be invested on the existing securities, and therefore form an important action. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, there was a good inquiry for most descriptions, and prices were firm The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. The market for the English Securities is unsettled ;o-day, and the tone rather flat, with more sellers than buyers. In addition to the return of unfa vourable weather, the intelligence from the conti nent respecting the probability of fresh complica tions with regard to the Italian question, and the proximate renewal of hostilities between Austria and Piedmont, is of a very discouraging character. There has also been a large sale of stock, and Consols are now 92 for money,': and 921 93 for account.

The Levant Herald of the Bth inst. states that the Turkish Government, on the representation of Fuad Pasha, has determined on replacing all the officers of the army of Arabistan by others from the army of Anatolia. Those who have been im plicated in late events will not be included in this arrangement, but be dealt with separately. Kourschid'Pasha, the late Governor of Beyrout, was placed in arrest, it appears, on the express de mand of Admiral Martin. Kourschid arrived at Constantinople on the 6th, by the Austrian Lloyd's steamer Stamboul. That he has been sent back to Beyrout, to be tried with Ahmet Pasha, has been already announced. Two of Kourschid's subor dinate officers, his Kehaya, and Cavas-Bashi, are both in prison at Beyrout. From the fact that they are kept in irons, it would seem that the dis placed Turkish officials have less influence in the province than they would be able to command at Constantinople. Ahmet Pasha was the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Arabistan, and Governor-General of Da mascus. Before being sent back to Beyrout, for trial, he was, according to an order from the Sul tan, publicly degraded from his rank in the great square of the Seraskeriat. A large body of troops and civil functionaries were assembled on the ground to witness the ceremony of degradation, which was performed with all the humiliating precision usual on such occasions. The Imperial order having been read aloud, the brass feztbutton, epaulets, and sword of the degraded General were roughly taken from him, and his deprivation of all rank and honours proclaimed to the spectators. He was then mar ched back to his prison, and the troops with arters. This well•deserved act of drew to th eir q u I m perial severity reduces the roll of muchirs to 84, n of Kourschid Pasha of Beyrout. similar d e gradation SIMI g radatto Will doubtless be further cut down b y the which The bar silver brought by the Westlndia Packet has been disposed of at 61d. p er oz., being i decline from the p r i ce realised for that by the preceding shipment a, was purchased for Hamburg at id. deductioni from the the same rate above rate.

However, if the hon ourable member repeated his question next week he would receive a reply. It appeared that the business of the Eccle siastical Commission had increased largely of late years.

Mr. WARNER said that a question would be asked by the country with regard to the Reform Bill, and he thought Government should give some intimation as to the course they proposed to pursue with reference to a Reform Bill. Hs thought that much unjust censure had been thrown on the Government in regard to the Reform Bill which they had introduced this session. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply, and the following votes were agreed to : £17,000 for Lighthouses ; £4,260 for the Orange Expedition; £27,000 for British Caffraria ; £34,442 for Treasury Chests, &c. On the vote of £20,000 for submarine telegraphs, some discussion took place. Mr. LAING stated that the Mediterranean telegraph and the Channel Islands telegraph were not in an efficient condition. With regard to the Red Sea telegraph there was an absolute contract, and they had no remedy. Mr. AYRTON moved the omission of the item of £7,200 for the Mediterranean telegraph, and £l,BOO for the Channel Islands telegraph. Sir G. LEWIS stated that he was responsible for the first contract, the:item for which it was proposed to omit. He considered that under the circumstances, although the contract has not Leen fully carried out, that this item could not properly be disallowed. As regards a Channel Island telegraph, it was but the communication. Mr. B. OSBORNE accused the Government of having forced different items of expenditure on the house, and complained of their being called on to pay for contracts when they had not been carried out. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the conduct of the Government, contending that they would not have been justified in not endeavouring to pro vide a communication with Malta. Mr. WHITE considered that it was very unfair to take exception to this vote, when the Government, in making the contracts, had done all in their power with regard to a matter of considerable importance, and he hoped the amendment would not be pressed. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY contended that the necessary judgment and discretion in respect do packet and telegraph contracts, which involved a large expenditure, had not been displayed by Government, and hoped that in future these contracts would not be decided without being pre viously discussed in this house. After some conversation the amendment was negatived without a division, and the vote was agreed to. The following votes were also agreed to : £7,000 for the Nigra Expedition. £11,500 for the Zambese Expedition. £2,500 for Inspectors of Burial Grounds. On the vote of £2OOO for the formation of a gallery of his torical portraits, Mr. SPOONER objected to this vote, as the object to which it was to be applied was neither beneficial to art or calculated to improve public morals. He concluded by moving the rejection of the vote. After some conversation the house divided. For the vote Against Majority —29 Some minor votes for the civil service in Ireland were agreed to without discussion. On the vote of £1,914 for the purchase of old gun metal for the bas-reliefs of the Wellington Testimonial in Phenix Park, Dublin, &c Mr. B. OSBORNE demurred to the vote, and asserted that the monument in question was hideous. Lord PALMERSTON supported the ♦ote, and con tended that the statue in question was very ornamental. The vote was agreed to, as were £1,680 for the Fizi Island Enquiry, £2,500 for the drawings of Old Masters, £5,000 for a National (Gallery in Ireland ; £5,000 for an Industrial Museum at Edinburgh; £2,660 for a Guard room at Windsor Castle.

Our market continues to be well supplied with most kinds of produce, and, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, a fair average business is doing, as follows : ?RUIZ, The Rev. Mr. Smith stated that on Thursday last ho had a cheque for £2O, drawn by his brother, Sir John Smith : on Messrs. Coutts' bank, stolen from him at 21, Bolton street. He gave notice to Messrs. Coutts, and the prisoner having presented it at the bank, was stopped. Tho cheque produced was the same. Henry Falver, of 7, Union-court, Westminster, renting some houses, said—Having told the prisoner he was going towards Covent-garden, the prisoner asked him to get the cheque cashed for bim, and on the prisoner assuring him that it was all right, he agreed to do so. The prisoner went with him to the bank, and, as he had been drinking, he (witness) went in with it. After his name was taken down by one of the clerks he left the prisoner there with the cheque. The prisoner said he get the cheque in pay ment for a watch. Prisoner said he had sold a gold watch and chain to a man, and sold the watch and chain for the cheque. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded•the prisoner for a few days. The prisoner is said to have been in custody before on different charges. THE LEATHER TRADE.--A member of a great bankrupt tanning firm was in Devonshire some time since, and, speaking of the fruits of his industry, h e s t a t e d t h at he Could give his daughters £lOO,OOO each. According to the dividend now declared or stioken of he must have since lost a sum representing £300,000 for each £lOO,OOO that he had three years ago to give the young ladies. These are some of the mysteries of commerce.—Western Times. IRISH TRAMWAYS BILL.---The Irish press are much pleased at the passing of this useful measure, with a few ameniments, through the Lords, which do not inter fere with its principles. The committee of the Commons should hurry it through that it may become law this ses sion. We see that the City of Dublin Tramway Company are ready to take advantage of it, and that tramways are proposed from BeHoek to Ballyshannon and Bundoran in connection with steamers on Lough Erne, from Lime rick to Killaloe, Lough Gill to the River Shannon and mineral districts round Lough Allen, as well as in other parts of Ireland. We therefore hope that the Government will urge the bill forward to get the Royal assent. TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN HUISH.--Upon the retirement of Captain Huish in November, 1858, from the office of general manager of the London and North-Wes tern Railway, an address (which, together with the reply, appeared at the time), was drawn up and signed by more than 5,000 of the officers and servants of that company, ex pressive of their regard and esteem. Captain Huish's ab sence prevented the formal presentation until Wednesday the Bth inst., upon which day the leading officers of the company invited him to luncheon at the Euston Hotel, when the address with the signatures, engrossed upon vel lum, and elegantly bound, was presented by Mr. Stewart, on behalf of the subscribers ; and the health, long life, and happiness of the gallant gentleman and his lady were most enthusiastically drunk. It must be gratifying to Captain Huish, after an absence of nearly two years, to find so numerous a body of his old comrades thus assembling round him, and proving that the feelings of regard which prompted the address are still unchanged. The amount subscribed for the testimonial to accompany the address remains in the hands of the committee until Captain Huish has fixed upon a permanent residence, when some suitable work of art will be purchased, and placed in his new home. THE NEW MILITIA ACT.—The new act to amend the laws relating to the militia has just been printed. By this act portions of militia of two or more counties may form an "artillery corps" with officers and staff, and to de • termine the number of justices to be elected on behalf of each county, riding, division, or place for forming a com mittee for providing and maintaining the storehouse in which the arms, clothing, and other stores are to be kept, a committee for providing such storehouse is to be elected and to meet for business. Lands may be purchased for the purposes of this Act and conveyed to trustees. The expenses are to be defrayed by the county or place. The oath pre scribed for volunteers may be administered by justices to militia volunteers. The militia volunteers may be drilled in addition to other times of training. Deserters from the militia may be tried sumjnarily by justices, unless the Se cretary at War should otherwise order. The stoppage of the pay of militiamen is to take place on fraudulently en listing in her Majesty's forces or on entering the navy, In case of invasion or imminent danger in Scotland her lia jesty may raise the militia there to 15,000 men, and in Ire land to 45,000. Further, the Act provides that where the United Corps of Militia Artillery is formed in England the justices of the county or place are to elect at the sessions the committee of justices for providing and maintaining the storehouses mentioned for artillery corps. CRINOLINE AGAIN.---On Monday last an inquest was held at the Blue Boar Inn, before if. W. Hooper, Esq., coroner, on the body of Thomasin Trickey, a girl 16 years of age. Tho deceased, who resided with her grandmother, at Cullompton, was employed at Messrs. Drew and Comins's paper mills, in the parish of Bradninch. On the 23d ult. she was engaged with Ann Tatchell in cutting some rags with a portion of a scythe. Deceased's scythe required sharpening, and she went with Tatchell to another part of the mill to grind it. The scythe was ground at a grind stone driven by water power, and, in turning round to leave the room, the crinoline which she wore caught in one of the cogs. The poor girl was lifted from the ground, and her legs were drawn into the wheel. The machinery was almost instantly stopped and she was extricated, but her legs wore dreadfully mutilated. Three surgeons—Messrs. Spencer, Potter, and Puddicombe—speedily arrived, and advised the removal of the girl to the Devon and Exeter Hospital, whither she was conveyed the same evening. On examination by 11,1 r. Rendle, the house surgeon, it was found that the right leg was completely smashed and the left leg was severely fractured. Amputation of both legs was performed, and although the girl rallied for a short time, pleurisy succeeded, which, with the combined effects of the injury, terminated her life on Sunday morning. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidon tal death,"— Western limo! all I 1 oo stOk s. d. s. d Cherries, per lb 0 4to 2 0 Filberts, per lb 1 oto 1 6 Cobnuts, per lb 0 oto 0 0 Almonds, per bus 0 oto 0 0 Walnuts, per 100 0 oto 0 0 Figs, per doz 3 oto 5 0 Strawberries potl 0 3to 0 8 Gooseberries hfsv 2 6to 3 0 Currants, per do. 3 6to 4 0 Plums, per do.

" Oar wounded are progressing famously. The numbers, which at first amounted to nearly 400, are now reduced to 160 ; including those at Melazzo, 190. We have had but few deaths in the hospitals—since the 28th July, when Dr. Stradivari took possession, but 6—Enrico Ferraro, of a frightful wound in the left lung, and Lieutenant Poggi, whose case excited much interest among the doctors. For sight days we had every hope of his recovery ; on the 9th he rapidly declined, and on the 10th he died. Dr. Monastieri, one of our most devoted and able surgeons, made a post mortem examination in the Convent of the Carmine, and proved that the bullet (one of these terrible cones) had passed between the lumbar vertebra and the sacrum * had gone through the spine, lodging itself in the body of the last lumbar vertebra, producing a comminute* fracture of both the neighbouring bones. Both Poggi anti Ferraro belonged to the Carabinieri Genovesi, of whom, at Calatafimi, of 35, but 14 were left standing, and of wham, at Melazzo, out of 84, nine were killed and 30 wouni.ted ; three have since died in the hospit a l, 11 h ave recovereil and rejoined their corps, and 16 are now lying in the corf,dor on which my room opens. Of these all will recover, save, I fear, one who is suffering most severely; but though his e.ufferings are great, his only grief seems to be that he cannot cross to Calaria with Garibaldi. After the Genoese corps, the company of Gaeta—i.e., Major Corti's band, imprisoned at Gaeta, and carried off by Garibaldi to Melazzo the moment they arrived in the port of Palermo—have, suffered most. When we came here we found six churches converted into hospitals by the kind and patriotic people of Barcellona, the best I have yet found in Sicily. Dr. Stradivari has re duced the hospitals to three, as we have taken possession of a convent on a height. There the air is delicious, and with good diet we soon bring the invalids round. Many of my patients at Palermo I find again here. One poor fel low, who left the hospital with a wound in his left arm barely closed, is now down with another in the left shoulder. ' I shall come in for a third in Calabria,' he said smilingly yesterday, when I brought down the news of the expedition. Another, whom I had in the hospital a month, had his right leg amputated a few days since; and thus I might go on enumerating, but I must close." UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, 1860.
