THE INVASION OF CALABRIA. (From;the Sperrial Correspondent of the Times.) REGGIO, AUG. 24. Our position in Calabria may be said to be estab lished. The cannonading and musketry fire which We watched with such interest during the day of the 21st are now fully explained. On both sides opera tions have been successful. Reggio is in our hands, and the descent of Cosenz has been effected with little loss. As usual in well-combined operations, the one considerably facilitated the other. When Garibaldi decided to march on Reggio he gave orders to make a diversion towards the Faro, in order to at tract the steamers which had collected there at the notice of his approach. The disembarkation took place under such favourable circumstances that it was thought possible to tow off the Torino from the bank where she had struck. While this operation was going on (from 6 a.m. till about 11 a.m.) the troops, who had been landed on one of the dry fiumare in the vicinity of Melito, made themselves as comfortable as they could on that arid and inhos pitable shore. They piled their arms, took off their capotes and haversacks, and partly lay down to rest after a sleepless night, while some went in search of water, of which that part of Calabria is at this season almost destitute. It was under these circum stances that the Neapolitan steamers arrived. Before even their approach was perceived the Franklin, which was the other steamer of the expedition, see ing her efforts fruitless, had taken her course for Messina, and passed the Neapolitan steamers shortly after entering the Straits. When, therefore, the latter arrived, they found merely the stranded ship and the encampment close by on the beach. They opened fire on both, and created some excitement among the troops peacefully reposing on shore. In order not to expose them to a useless fire, the order was given to move higher up into the mountains which are close by, which was done. The two steamers now concentrated their fire on the stranded ship, and soon set her on fire The troops were concentrated again towards evening, and Garibaldi passed the night at Melito. Here, by one of those favourable accidents which go by the name of " luck" in the operations of a general, a detachment of those who first embarked from the Faro came down in search of provisions from San Lorenzo, and fell in with the troops brought over by Garibaldi. It was on this occasion that the first detailed news could be collected as to their fate and wanderings. The whole plan of their first descent had been ar ranged according to information given by a Cala brian gentleman, the Barone di Mussolino. He had promised to get an officer of engineers and three artillerymen into the fort of Alta Fiumara ; the descent was to take place at the fiumara at the foot of the fort. Three native guides were to be in readiness to conduct the expedition by a circuitous road on to the plateau where the Fort di Fiumara lies. The fort is only guarded on that side by a high wall, loopholed, but with no guns; those who had been introduced into the fort were to open one of the postern gates, and then a rush was to be made to seize the fort. For unforeseen contingencies ladders Were to be taken over to be used for scaling the walls. The military part of the expedition was con fided to Major Missori ; but, as Baron Mussolino had planned the whole expedition, this engendered a division in the command, to which probably the failure of the attack on the fort is due. The first contretemps which occurred was that, instead of landing at the fiumara close to the fort, they landed at the next, lower down. In the dark night it was difficult to distinguish one from the other, and to calculate the force of the current ; be sides this, there was probably a tendency in the Si cilian boatmen to make a mistake on the safe side ; at any rate, the guides who were to have been there could not be found. In order to look for them five men were sent to the right and as many to the left. Whether the Neapolitans had discovered a descent had taken place, or whether they had posts outside the fort on the slopes, certain it is that one of these detachments sent out to look for the guides fell in with a Neapolitan patrol, exchanged a few shots with it, took two prisoners, but at the same time tho roughly alarmed the garrison of the fortress. Some cannon-shot were fired, which we saw and heard at the Faro, followed by a wild fire of musketry in the dark. Major Missori was for waiting to see, but a part of the men, rather shaken by the effects of this alarm, followed a cry which was raised to be off to the mountains, and scaled the heights im mediately behind them. The rest, seeing that it was useless to wait any longer, went up the course of the fiumara, and arrived after a fatiguing march next day at the Cascina de Forestani, an isolated farmhouse on one of the spurs of the Monte Alto, between Santa Eufemia and San Stefano, where they were joined by degrees by those who had gone the other way, minus five, who were lost in the dark, and fell into the hands of the Neapolitans. The failure of the enterprise, and the consequent precipitous retreat, were not exactly calculated to animate the spirits of this forlorn hope. All those who were under the immediate command of Mus solino attributed the ill success to his bad disposi tions ; and most of the officers, who held a kind of improvised council of war, were for giving the un divided command to Major Missori. But in order not to cause a schism with the Calabrians, it was at last arranged to continue as hitherto. Although thus shut in among the wilds of Cala bria, with the road to the sea-shore cut off by the Neapolitans, who immediately sent reinforcements to the threatened point, the position was not des perate. All the villages in the neighbourhood vied with each other in providing the little band with everything which they re qu i re d . The Neapol i tans, although so superior in numbers, seemed to have no intention in the first days to molest them ; and then there were the Woods and mountains behind, a tolerably safo line of retreat. After a few days spent at the Cascina, there arose a general desire to do something. In the direction of the Fort e di Fiumara there seemed little chance of success, f or it was known that the garrison had been reinforced, and had taken possession of the plateau above it, which commands the fort ; it was therefore agreed to attempt something towards Bagnara, a little town on the beach above Scylla. Being on the crest of the high mountains, the descent was open in every direction to a troop of li ghtly -accoutred men without baggage. On the evening of the fourth day the little band started, and marched all night. The guide proved but indifferent, and the road wa s missed repeatedly. Still, in the morning our volun teers were on the heights which overlook Bagnara, and the fort with which this, like almost all places on the sea-shore, is provided. - A score of riflemen were sent forward, who kept up skirmishing for some time, but it required little time to see that a band of 200 could do very little against several battalions, who had a fort well provided with guns as their point d'cippui. It was work for Garibaldi, but not for others. After some skirmishing there fore the 200 retired, and after another fatiguing march fell back to the ceecina de Forestani. If the :failure of the first attempt to take the Forte di Fiumara rather disconcerted the small band of volunteers, their landing, the preparations of Garibaldi on all sides, and the reconnaissance to wards Bagnara seem to have had a similar effect on the Neapolitans. They saw, as appears from their telegrams sent to Naples, Garibaldian volunteers isembarking everywhere—at Cann itello, to the left Reggio, at Bianchi, Gerace Bovelina, on the east coast, long before Garibaldi did land at Mclito, and yet when the landing did take place they were not there to impede it. Nevertheless, after the reconnaisance towards Bagnara, a moving column of 1,800 men, under General Briganti, was organised at Bagnara, and started in pursuit of Major Missori's men, and ac tually arrived at the Cascina de l'orestani without being perceived. Seeing that the force sent out "was so numerous, the order was given to retreat into the woods which cover the crest of the moun tain. To protect this retreat, 45 of the G u id es remained in position at the Cascina. But although so much superior in numbers, the Neapolitans did not attack, but took up a position to observe. When, therefore, sufficient time had been given to the mass of the column to retire, the 45 Guides fol lowed without being molested by the Neapolitans. , Following always the very crest of the Aspro monte, the Volunteers had a hard march of 22 I hours, exposed to the heat of the day and the chill of night on those arid heights, until they arrived at San Lorenzo, on the southern slopes of the Aspro monte, above Melito. San Lorenzo is built on all isolated sugarloaf mountain, which rises above its neighbours. This was just a position of defence in case the Neapolitans ventured so far into the wilds of Calabria. The little band was received there, as everywhere else, with open arms, and it was deter mined to hold out there till another landing took place, and thus circumstances were changed. In order not to weigh too heavily on the small popu lation of 3,000; two detachments were sent out foraging, and it was one of these which happened to come to Melito just the day when Garibaldi arrived there, on the 19th. A messenger was im mediately despatched to San Lorenzo to inform the rest of the column of this unexpected delivery, and to give the order for joining as soon as possible. They set off with light hearts, but, in spite of their ea gerness, could not arrive in time, and joined only at Reggio after the action had begun. As soon as Garibaldi saw that it was all over with the Torino, he was anxious not to lose time, and set off on the 20th from Melito, following the road on tIA seashore. Although little more than 20 miles, the fmt eight, to the Capo Armi, the ancient Leucopetra, are only a bridle path, often rather difficult to pass, except in single files. But more than this is the difficulty of finding water at this season, when all the wells are nearly exhausted and the fiumare are dry. This was a great draw back in a corps which contained a considerable number of Sicilians. Of all water-greedy animals I ever saw the Sicilian Volunteer on march is the most greedy. It is in vain you try to convince him that the more he drinks the more he will want to drink. He is more irrational in this respect than any an imal; he cannot pass a well or fountain with out taking his share, and he has so little control over himself that he gets completely demoralised if he cannot indulge in this desire—an offshot of his fancy. Garibaldi, on the contrary, has complete control over himself, and allows no weakness in others. He is without pity in this respect. He thinks every one ought to be so absorbed with the object in view as to forget all the little miseries of life. A great friend of walkings and indefatigable, his habit is to dismount, take his sword on his shoulder, and stride along for hours without halting once. In the march to Reggio it was, besides, im portant not to lose time, and to arrive before the Neapolitans had time to strengthen the garrison of Reggio. The result was that a number of tha troops remained behind, and were picked up by the column under Major Missori, which, having descended from San Lorenzo, followed the road in the wake of Gari baldi. Having given a short rest to his troops some miles from Reggio, the march was resumed the next morning at daybreak. The story about the people of Reggio having asked the commander of the garrison, Colonel Dumez, to fight outside was true, for, leaving a few hundred men in the fort, he went out with the rest, and took up a position at the fitonara which is crossed by a stone bridge just outside of Reggio. Every fumara in these regions is a natural position, not only in winter, when it is often inaccessible, but even in sum mer, when there is no water, for the banks are steep and always well wooded. But, in spite of this, there seemed no intention on the part of the Neapolitans to make a serious stand. Garibaldi divided his force into three columns. The town of Reggio, like all towns built on a narrow beach, is long and of little breadth, although it encroaches considerably on the hills around it, by which it is commanded. The object, therefore, was to get pos session of the higher part of the town and of the hills. The chief attack, under Garibaldi himself, was, therefore made in that direction, while Bixio operated against the centre, towards the bridge ; and the column to the left advanced by the sea. shore. Whether the Neapolitans were resolved from the first not to fight very desperately, or whether they were discouraged by some other cir cumstance, at any rate they gave way soon in the centre and on their right. On the left alone they attempted to make some resistance. Garibaldi, with a few men, had taken possession of a cascina opposite to their position until a sufficient rein forcement could be brought up to charge with the bayonet. At the first attempt the Neapolitans gave way, and the column entered the town, chas ing before it the Neapolitans, who fled in all hurry to wards the opposite end of Reggio. In the mean time Bixio had likewise entered by the main street to the Piazza of the Duomo, cutting off the retreat of the Neapolitans who had been before him. Arrived at the Piazza, the latter went off towards the higher part of the town to the right, and when debouching by a transverse street into the upper street, which runs parallel to the main street, they fell in with Garibaldi's column. The Volunteers prepared to attack, but were prevented by Gari baldi, who thought they were coming over. The Neapolitans, instead of coming over, took to running, followed by ours, and were taken prisoners in batches of 20 and 30, while the rest dispersed and made their way towards San Giovani. The town was thus clear in less than two hours from the time the first fire began. The fort alone remained. The losses had been trifling on both sides. They would have been more serious, and perhaps would have prevented success, had the Neapolitan steamers, of which there were not less than seven, done as they did at Palermo. But they had evidently orders not to fire on the town. They merely sent a few shot and shell towards the road while the column was advancing, but ceased firing as soon as the latter had entered the town. Besides this their attention was soon called to another point. Cosenz had got everything ready for a descent on the coast of Calabria from the Faro Point at the first notice of the attack on Reggio. Ninety boats full of men were waiting for this movement in the lake, where they escaped the notice of the only Neapolitan steamer which had remained towards the entrance of the Straits, the others being en gaged at Reggio. As soon as the first cannon shots were heard from Reggio 60 of the boats started, and made a rush for the other side, when they were quickly followed by the 30 others. Both the steamers from Reggio and the one from above made a race to overtake the boats, but all they could do was to send shots on to the beach and shatter the empty boats, while the troops they contained took a posi tion on the heights. Besides they had soon to think of their own safety, for the Faro batteries began to open. All the firing which we watched from Mes. sina with such anxiety did no harm on our side, and probably little on the other. Except a big shell, believed to be a 13 -inch, which burst above one of the batteries without hitting any one, lite rally not a single Neapolitan shot ever reached the Sicilian shore. Our artillerymen, of course, stoutly maintain that their shot told more than once, that they set on fire some bushes on the opposite shore, and that they disabled one steamer at least. As a truthful chronicler, I must say that they seem all safe. While this intermezzo of the bold move of Cosenz was going on at the Faro, Garibaldi, having driven the Neapolitans out of the town, took measures to blockade the fort of Reggio, All these shore forts have their real line of defence towards the sea, while comparatively little attention is paid to the land side. Thus, with the fort of Reggio, three sides of it are closely sirrounded by houses, and only that looking to the sea is free, while the heights above look completely into it. All the issues having been occupied, as well as some of the houses, one of those desultory firings began which rarely lead to anything except a number of wounded on both sides. Among those who suffered on this occasion was Bixio, the Commander of the Brigade, who was grazed by a ball on the left forearm. The fort answered with grape and roundshot until about 11 a.m. The column under Missori arrived, and went up to the heights. Being mostly composed of good rifle shots, the Neapolitans soon left their guns on the platform and retired into the casemates. The Commander himself was mortally wounded by a bullet in the breast, and soon after the white flag appeared on the fort of Reggio. The terms made were those which were given at Melazzo—the garrison to evacuate with arms and baggage, leaving behind all the materiel of the fort. These conditions might seem too favourable, hut it must be recollected that time is a great agent in Garibaldi's combinations, and a thousand stand of arms, or a thousand prisoners, mere or less, cannot come into comparison with it. As it was the spoil was not bad,—eight field pieces, with horses, and all ; six 32-pounders ; 18 position guns, from 18 to 24-pounders; two Paixhan's 10- inch guns ; 600 stand of arms, a quantity of coal, ammunition, and provisions, besides a number of horses and mules. For us the position and the guns of Reggio are of the greatest advantage, for they insulate Messina more than ever, and must give us the ultimate com mand of both sides of the Straits ; for the Neapoli tans the heaviest loss is the coal for their steamers, of which the depot was at Reggio, and the naval station itself. All the provisions, both for the fleet and for Messina, in troubled times came from Reggio. It was as it were the wrist of the hand with which they held Sicily, and which is now cut off. The reception all over Calabria, but, above all, in Reggio, surpasses in warmth and cordiality by far that which we received in Sicily. There was a good deal of noise and cry over the way, but, with the exception of Palermo, there was little intimate intercourse with the natives of the land. It be may a general shyness of strangers, or an aversion to the military, but it is a fact. Here it is entirely dif ferent. It is only a few days ago our troops came here, and they are received like friends in the families, while over the way, in many towns, the officers were sent off to mess in order not to have them in the family. This warmth produces consi derable impression on the volunteer who has come to fight for an idea. From the 21st to the 23d there were few incidents of any consequence, either on this or on the Sicilian side. About four o'clock in the afternoon of the 22d the town of Messina was alarmed by a succession of cannon shots from the fort into the town, preceded. by a brisk fire of musketry towards the outposts of Terranova. The troops ran to arms, the population, men and women, made their way hastily towards the upper part of the town, the National Guard spread about in driblets in all directions. The im pressf was that the Commander of the fort had made up his mind to restore the Neapolitan losses on the Calabrese side by bombarding the town. Generals Turr and Medici were soon at the out posts; a parlementaire was sent across, and the Commander of the fort, General Gorgola, came in person to make excuse. He said that he could not keep his men in order, a thing which admits of no doubt ; for while the conference between him and our generals took place in the middle of the Piana of Terranova a hail of bullets was fired by the Nea politans on the members of the conference. The whole thing had originated in one of those skir mishes of outposts which, in spite of injunctions and orders, had continued for the last week or so, and, not producing any result by musketry, the Neapolitan artillerymen took part on their own ac count, and began throwing shot and grape into the Strada d'Austria, and into the houses looking to wards the esplanade of the fort. However, it seems that the Commander of the fort got the better of his troops, for the firing was discontinued. On the evening of the 21st the Ist Brigade of Medici received orders to embark on board the Queen of England and the Washington, both of which were in the harbour of Messina. The captain of the Queen of England, although she has not yet changed her flag, consented to take the troops across; but when he had his steam up he went out and steamed up to the Faro. Message after message was sent, but without effect, and as the morning dawned the expedition was given up. In the mean time the other troops had been embarked on board the Washington, where they remained all next day and night, in the hope that the captain of the Queen of England could be induced to keep his promise. On the 22d, in the morning, there was a great cannonade at the Faro. It was the Borbone, a large Neapolitan screw frigate, which passed. She hoisted the French flag, and under its pro• tection came close to the batteries, when she opened with a broadside, which killed two men and wounded five, not in the batteries but in the village of Faro. Previous to firing she hauled down the French and hoisted the Neapolitan flag. The batteries, although thrown off their guard, answered, but could make only little impression, as ' the Borbone steamed down with the full force of her machinery and of the current. The next day she came up again, killing one man and wounding three, but without passing the Straits, she returned to cruise below Reggio. The artillerymen at the Faro, indignant at the trick which had been played on them the day be fore, decided to take good care not to be taken in again. And in fact, when, the next day, a Nea politan brigantine passed laden with forage and hoisting the French flag, she was fired into; and when she did not stop some gunboats were sent towards her which sunk her; it was only when the gunboats approached that she had hauled down the French colours and hoisted the Neapolitan. With all this it was a bad precedent to suppose every French ship to be a Neapolitan in disguise, and the consequences have already become appa rent, for to-day one of the French aviso boats, which passed near the Faro, was shot at 17 times. For tunately the practice was bad, and no harm was done. But, in spite of this, the French Consulate made a protest, and sent immediately a strong re port to Naples. The Descartes steam frigate got up her steam and went out of the harbour towards the Faro point, where she went to anchor. Not even time was left to have a report from the Faro and to make the necessary excuses. As you re member, the two ships which were captured by the Neapolitans, and taken to Gaeta, employed the stratagem of hailing our ships in French, and be guiling them thus to betray the real scope of the expedition, and since that time several similar feints were employed. It is, therefore, the Neapolitans who are more in fault than ours, but, at any rate, it is an awkward occurrence, which, if there is a will, may serve to bring about disagreeable complications. VILLA SAN GIOVANNI, AUG. 25. Events are pa ss i ng so rapidly that there is scarcely time to record them even in their general features. The whole Calabrese side of the Straits is ours. As I mentioned before, the whole line of defence on the coast is directed more against the sea than against the land. From Scylla to Reggio there is a succession of. little forts, mounting from 15 to 20 guns on an average, and with the exception of that of the Punta di Pezzo, which is on the beach, situated on the first heights above the sea. Tho road, the only line for military operations, runs along the seashore, where likewise most of the towns and villages are constructed. Above all this line rises a succession of hills up to the backbone of the Apennines, which runs nearly parallel with the Straits. From this description you can see that as soon as a force has one point on the coast it can take this whole line of defence in the rear. The land side of the forts is but indifferently strengthened, and the forts themselves are looked into from the upper line of hills. To oppose, therefore, a resistance to an ene • my it is necessary to do so from the heights; and even this has the inconvenience that unless the most lofty heights are taken up, the position can still be turned. For the Neapolitans such tactics were doubly difficult, for the heights are the most favour able ground for us, where they cannot compete with us ; hut, besides, there seemed to be, likewise, little intention on the part of either Neapolitan troops or officers to make a very desperate resistance. They had chosen Monteleone as their real line of defence, and had, besides the garrisons along the line, two flying columns, each of from 1,800 to 2,000, under Generals Melendez and Briganti, the former more properly for the defence of the coast from Baguara upwards, and the latter for the Straits. After the taking of Reggio this latter force had taken up a position above the fort of the Punta di I'ezzo, on which intervenes between the road and the heights. If the Neapolitan General had wished to be t a k en , he could not have chosen a more appropriate position, for by turning the heights of San Giovanni he could not only be attacked and destroyed by the riflemen from above, but risked likewise having his retreat cut off. The position was so much the more critical as the men landed with Cosenz had already taken possession of the heights. Garibaldi moved out with whatever was moveable from Reggio, taking with the main force the hill line above San Giovanni. San Giovanni, Azziarello, and Pezzo are three long straggling villages along the seashore, extending backwards over the first low heights. Behind them rises a mountain spur full of gardens. These circumstances were taken advan tage of to approach without being perceived, while the column which marched on the road along the sea shore occupied the attention of the enemy. In order to make matters more secure, the Genoese Carabineers and two companies of riflemen were sent on to take up a position which should command the line of re treat, All these preparations being completed, the force advanced on all sides, but without firing took up a position at musket shot from the enemy. The latter opened out with his four guns as well as with musketry. No answer from our side ; Gari baldi had expressly forbidden it. Defeat was not enough; the object was surrender. The Neapoli tans could indulge in no illusions; they were sur rounded on all sides and had the sea behind them. They seemed not to see this in the beginning, for a parlementaire of ours, who was sent with a white flag, received a bullet through his head. About 2 p.m., however, the whole truth of their position seemed to dawn upon them, a thing to which the passive attitude on our side contributed not a little. A parlementaire came over, and his first demand was an armistice, with the naive ob servation that they were expecting instructions from Gen. Viale. The answer was that they were expecting in vain, as this latter gentleman had re traced his steps from Bagnara towards Monteleone ; that, besides, there had been already sufficient time to make up their mind, and that if they did not surrender at discretion by half-past 3, they would be attacked and driven into the sea. The delay was granted, because some more troops and guns, under Bixio, were expected. At the return of the parle mentaire great movement was perceptible—soldiers and officers mixed up gesticulating and talking to gether. Although this lasted some time after the hour for surrender had passed, Garibaldi waited until about 5 p.m., when all at once shouts arose of " Viva Garibaldi !" " Viva l'ltalia !" The park mentaire came to accept the condition of surrender. Garibaldi himself went down among the Neapoli tans, and was almost torn to pieces by hugging and embracing; soldier and officer, together with Gen. Briganti, fraternised. It was, above all, when the Neapolitan soldiers were told that those who wished could go home that the burst of joy was greatest. They left their arms and went off in troops, The Carabineers and Riflemen on the line of retreat, not knowing what had passed, fired into the first troop, but orders soon set matters right, and the flying column was by nightfall dispersed in all directions, leaving about 2,000 stand of arms, 4 field pieces, and 10 heavy guns in the fort. But more than all this is the moral effect of this surrender, and of the 2,000 soldiers returning to their homes adoring Garibaldi, besides the position we have gained in the Straits. Indeed, the news has already come in that both the Forte di Fiumara and Scylla have been given up to us. Thus we shall probably find no resistance till we go to Monteleone, if even there. The surrender yes terday showed tlo spirit of the Neapolitan army in a new light. It was, as nearly as possible, defection in mass. Thus the whole country behind Calabria, Citeriore, and Basilicata is up; they have proclaimed the Dictatorship of Garibaldi, and have put them selves in communication with headquarters. Verily it is high time that King Francis should think of embarking. Garibaldi has addressed the following proclama tion to the people of the Neapolitan Continent : "The opposition of the strangers interested in our humiliation and internal factions have impeded Italy from constituting herself. " To-day, it seems, Providence has put an end to so much misfortune. The unanimity of all the provinces, and the victory which is smiling every where on the sons of liberty, are proofs that the evil times of this land of genius draw towards their end. " A step still remains, and that step I don't fear. If we compare the small means which led a handful of brave men to these Straits with the great means of which we can dispose now, every one can see that enterprise is not difficult. "Bat I wish, nevertheless, to avoid bloodshed among Italians, and therefore turn to you, sons of the Neapolitan continent. "I have seen that you are brave, and don't wish to see it again. Our blood we will shed together on the corpses of the enemies of Italy, but between us let there be peace. " Accept that right hand which has never served a tyrant, but which has been hardened in the ser vice of the people. I ask you to help to constitute Italy without the loss of her sons, and with you I will serve her or die for her. " G. GARIBALDI." THE PRINCE'S VISIT TO CANADA. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) QUEBEC, AUG. 20. His Royal Highness has at last commenced his Canadian tour, and is now quietly—rather too quietly for the people here perhaps—installed, at Government-house, some three miles from this quaint old town. The landing and the whole re ception here was a very imposing affair, though it scarcely equalled that of Halifax, or, if it did, the effect was so considerably detracted from by the heavy rain that it did not appear to do so. The Prince is certainly not fortunate with his weather . With the single exception of St. John's, New Bruns wick, he has not visited a place where the effect of all the preparations has not been almost completely spoilt by heavy rain. The great and naturally pic turesque features of the reception here were, how ever, fortunately such as no amount of rain could utterly destroy, and, thoagh certainly the deluge which fell did no good, it on the whole did less harm than might reasonably have been expected. The Royal squadron did not leave Isle d'Orleans, where they anchored on the night of the 17th, till nearly two in the following day. The Prince cele brated his last night on board the Hero by inviting all the young officers of the ship, who are his par ticular " chums," to dine with him. In honour of this occasion the smoking time after dinner was prolonged for half an hour, a privilege of which his Royal Highness availed himself to the last minute, puffing his cigar like a steam-engine as half past 9 o'clock drew near, and being the first to set the officers an example by throwing it away when the time expired. In conforming to the rules of the ship as to lights and smoking his Royal High ness is most strict, and much to the astonishment of the youngsters, neither breaks them himself nor allows them to do so. The result is that he is not only liked but respected by all the officers, though ",liked" is perhaps much too weak a term to ex press the feelings entertained towards him. On board the Hero he will not alone be recollected as the Prince of Wales, but better still as the most good natured, frolicsome, and courteous gentleman they have ever had in the ship. Long before the squadron got under way on the 18th a whole fleet of river steamers came down from Quebec, all dressed in colours and covered with fes tive evergreens from stem to stern. But these were the only demonstrations ventured on, for of cheer ing, or, indeed, any but decorative enthusiasm, there was none. It may have been that the weather exercised an adverse influence in this respect, for it was cold, raw, and very wet; but, whatever the reason, there was at least no doubt of the fact, and no cheering was attempted, at any time, on the whole passage from Isle d'Orleans to Quebec. It was not from the want of a better example either, that this rather cold decorum was observed, for the Prince paid a long private visit to the Ariadne before starting, and on leaving the ship the crew rushed into the rigging and gave such a cheer as only 600 bluejackets can really give. All the Quebec steamers then followed alongside the Prince as he returred in his barge to the Hero, but never theless the silence remained unbroken, and perhaps, I suppose, as at one time at. St. John, people, in their anxiety to have a good look at him, forgot to give the usual tokens of welcome and loyal recognition. At 2 o'clock the squadron got under weigh. The Hero led, followed by the Ariadne and Flying Fish. With the flagship, of course, went the fleet of steamers, and, as the wind was up the river, each was enabled to favour his Royal Highness's vessel with such a dense, impenetrable mass of smoke as was never seen in the St. Lawrence before. Viewed from the deck of the Flying Fish, which, as the last ship, was just clear of the sooty atmosphere, the fleet ahead seemed as though they were in some tremendous naval engagement, and as much of the scene as could be distinguished had thus rather a fine effect. Whether those on board the Hero, only the very top of the mainmast of which was visible, thought as well of the display is more than doubt ful, for nearly every one there seemed somehow to regard it as a most intolerable nuisance. All the little houses and villages on the banks of the river were decked with flags, and the sputtering, irregular fire of guns and small arms never ceased along the route for an instant, so that what with the smoke of the guns, steamers, and squadron, the St. Lawrence seemed on fire from one end to the other. Just before three o'clock the squadron came in sight of Point Levi, and then slowly on the other side of the river, the steep rugged heights of Abra ham and lofty outlines of Quebec—the Gibraltar of North America, rose gradually into view. The ap pearance of this quaint old city from the bay is always imposing. Its old historical associations are well borne out by the rough gray tiers of houses rising one above the other with their bright tin gable roofs contrasting with the antique fashion of the buildings themselves, amid which in huge heavy outlines the walls of the fortress wind up and down with all the engineering eccentricities of salient and re-entering angles. It is such a combination of the old and the new, of a peaceful, prosperous town built in and out of a tremendous citadel—a melange of modern " stores," guns, bastions, crenelated walls, suburban residences, and houses of tin and pine wood—as makes it resemble no other place under the sun. Take a large part of Malta, mix it up with St. Peter's at Guernsey, and a few of the old houses at Abbeville, strew it here and there with log houses, roof it all over with tin, pave roads and paths with wooden logs, put an immense citadel at the top, cover all the streets profusely with dirt, and stick the whole on one of the hills over Milford Haven, with an English Government and a French population, and then you have Quebec. Every thing here is in an anomalous state—the footpaths are ladders and the roads are slides. There is a Parliament building, which is not to be used as there is no Parliament with which to fill it. There are good squares, which are always empty, and nar row, difficult flights of streets, which are always full. With the English the name of Quebec is in dissolubly associated with the fame of Wolfe. Among the Quebecians Montcalm is revered. In a strategical point of view I should say the shops of Quebec are the keys of the position, for batteries loom over the roofs of chymists and haberdashers, and you can walk in few places without finding your movements inspected by huge open-mouthed guns which lurk in ambush at every corner, behind trees, in gardens, or half concealed by roofs and stacks of chimneys. Of its kind I should say Quebec must be unique, and I am glad to think it is, for it seems to have got old without becoming venerAle, and prosperous without either activity or cleanliness. But from the water, as I have said, and before the Prince landed, it looked grand, as all lofty places from the water somehow do. All the chief buildings were decorated with flags, the houses, wharfs, and terraces were thronged with thousands, and up the steep streets the points of triumphal arches could be seen with their bright decorations still flaunting, though rather dulled of their splendour by the rain and wind. As the Hero came up opposite the town the forts began to salute from the citadel, the terrace, and the bat teries over Wolfe's Cove, where the rugged path up which the ardent young General struggled with his men is still to be seen. The effect of this re peated cannonade, as it wreathed over the whole place in dense masses of smoke, through which the tin steeples dimly shone, was very fine, and seemed to bring its old character for war and glory more strongly out than ever. The Prince landed at four o'clock, all the vessels of war in the harbour salut ing with manned yards, and giving three grand cheers for his Royal Highness as his barge swept past to the shore. At the spot selected for the disembarkation a handsome pavilioned canopy had been erected, under which stood all the officers of State and chief dignitaries of the city in full uni form, In the background a spacious balcony of seats had been raised for the accommodation of non-official visitors, and as this was amply crowded the whole scene was striking enough to impress the Prince, and all who saw it from the river, most fa vourably. under the canopy the Mayor read an address, to which the Prince replied as follows, with a clear distinctness and proper emphasis that made every word as audible as though he spoke in a room to half-a-dozen listeners : " Gentlemen,—lt is with no ordinary feelings of gratifi cation and of interest in all around me that I find myself for the first time on the shores of Canada, and within the precincts of this, its most ancient city. " I am deeply touched by the cordiality with which I have been welcomed by the inhabitants. " For the address which you have just presented to me I beg you to accept the hearty thanks which, in the name of the Queen, I offer to you. " Be assured that her Majesty will receive with no little satisfaction the account of my reception among you, proving, as it does, that her feelings towards the people are met on their part by the most devoted and loyal attachment to her self, her throne, and her family. Still more will she rejoice to learn, from your own lips, that all differences of origin, language, and religion are lost in one universal spirit of patriotism, and that all classes are knit to each other and to the mother country by the common ties of equal liberty and free institutions. " For myself, I will only add that I shall ever take a deep concern in all that tends to promote the prosperity of this beautiful and interesting city." The address over, three cheers were called for, and to a certain extent given, but it must in truth be said that cheering is a weak point in the Cana dian social system, A procession, partly of car riages and partly on foot, was then formed and moved up through the town. All the streets were beautifully decorated, trees were set in the ground at the edge of all the footpaths, houses were screened in with deep ornamental balconies of evergreens and transparencies, and lofty arches crowded all the main thoroughfares. As at St. John's, the indivi dual arches were better than those at Halifax, but for number and the universality of the demonstra tion the first reception in Nova Scotia has not yet been surpassed. Unless Montreal makes a great effort in this respect, the honours of the tour will undoubtedly belong to Halifax. His Royal Highness passed through the city for the greater part of its entire length, issuing out under the St. Louis gate, on his way to Cataraqui, the residence of Sir Edmund Head, the Governor General of Canada. In the evening Quebec illu minated, and a more effective or more general dis play of this kind I have seldom seen. It was not quite equal to that at St. John's, but almost as good, and the effect, owing to the natural advantages of the city, was infinitely greater. To see Point Levi on one side of the St. Lawrence, and Quebec on the other, from the water that night was really a charming spectacle. Every house had lights in its windows, all the chief buildings were lit up, and the tiers of streets, rising one above another in rich gradations of light and colour, all of which were vividly reflected back by the river, made a kind of quadruple display which one can neither easily de scribe nor forget. All night, as a matter of course, streets were crowded, and the light-fingered pro. fessors, who are here from New York in consider able numbers, must have made a splendid harvest, if all the complaints I hear be true. Their presence however, would be less annoying if they made the streets the only places for the exercise of their skil ful vocation. Unfortunately, they have penetrated the hotels, and the proceeds of their enterprises in this direction are certainly not likely to deter others from following the . example. In the best hotel in this city some gentlemen's bedrooms were skilfully opened the other night, and a clean sweep made of all money and watches. Among the suf ferers is the artist of the illustrated London News, who lost £lO3, while on the same night in the same hotel the correspondent of the New York Tribune lost a valuable geld watch and chain and £3l. On Sunday, the 19th, the Prince rested, and at tended Divine service in the cathedral. Even here, however, the same gang of darin 0; thieves must have been present, for I am told that money and watches to the value of more than £6OO were stolen from various members of the congregation, who of course attended on this occasion in most pious and considerable numbers. The Parliament House has been superbly fitted up for: the reception and entertainment of his Royal Hig i ciness, and immense expense must have been garao to here; yet he only stays two night in Que lnc, Tuesday, the 21st, and the 22d. During the ether two days he is immured at the Governor's— a retirement which is givingrise to no small amount of annoyance and dissatisfaction. To-day he was to have visited the falls of the Chaudiere, but it has rained torrents since daylight, and seems likely to continue for any length of time. To-morrow is fixer for the levee and ball, and Wednesday for a visit to Montmorency Falls- On Thursday, the %.13d, he leaves for Montreal, disembarking at that city in the afternoon of the 24th. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Sept. 3. WANDSWORTH.—DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH BURGLARS._ ONE MAN SUPPOSED TO BE DROWNED.-Mr. Ingham, the presiding magistrate, was occupied for some considerable time in the in vestigation of a very serious charge of burglary, attended with violence, which occurred early on Sunday morning, near Battersea Old Church. A vast amount of interest was attached to the case and the court was both thronged inside and out, and many were unable to gain admittance in conse quence of the court itself being so exceedingly small, and totally unfit for hearing a judicial inquiry. The prisoners were all young men, and gave the names of John Mahoney, William Hayward, Charles Barton, 11/ illiam Willis, and John Cor mack, and they were 'all charged with being con cerned in burglariously entering the premises of Mr. Thomas Dives, a miller, at Mill Wharf, Battersea. The prisoner Mahoney was further charged with violently assaulting police-constable Baker, of the V division, in the execution of his duty, by striking him on the head with a heavy bludgeon. The following certificate was appended to the charge-sheet : " St. George's Hospital, Sept. 2. " This is to certify that William Baker is an in mate, suffering from a severe injury to the head. " DANIEL SEATON, House Surgeon." A clerk from the office of Mr. Fletcher defended the first three mentioned prisoners ; Mr. Superin tendent Fenn, of the V division, watched the case on behalf of the police. Henry Stirling, police-constable 289 V, deposed that about half-past one o'clock on Sunday morn ing he was on duty in Church-road, Battersea, when the three first mentioned prisoners and an other man, not in custody, passed him in the direc tion of the church. He followed them for some distance to the river by the side of the church, where they turned the corner, and when he came up he could not see them. He then went back to Phcenix-wharf, and looked along the river, and he then saw five men in a boat. He immediately re turned for assistance, and in Church-road he met Sergeant Payne, a n d he communicated to him what he had seen. The sergeant accompanied him back to Phoenix wharf. They saw the five men in a boat at the rear of Mr. Dives's flour mill. They watched them for a few minutes, and then Mr. Ser geant Payne directed him to remain while he went for further assistance. During the absence of the sergeant the five men entered through a door which he afterwards found was forced open, into the mill, where they remained about ten minutes. When they came out Barton and another got into the boat, but at that time Sergeant Payne had rowed up in a boat, and upon landing on the barges all the men ran off in contrary directions. Witness saw Barton jump out of the boat and make for Mr. Bridge's wharf, adjoining the flour mills, and he immediately went after him, and apprehended him in Mr. Bridge's yard. Witness had his staff drawn, and when the prisoner saw him he ex claimed," For God's sake do not hurt me." He took him into Church-road, and while waiting for assistance the prisoner Mahoney jumped over the church wall and ran to the back of the Swan public house, where he lost sight of him. Witness after wards took the prisoner to the station, and in the morning he discovered a life-preserver in Mr. Bridge's yard, close to the spot where he caught Barton. He also found another formidable life preserver in the churchyard. This was one handed up to the bench, and it appeared to have been made out of tie butt end of a carman's whip, and loaded with lead. The witness said he found the life-preserver in the churchyard, about 50 yards from the wall where he saw Mahoney jump over. Mr. Dives's premises are near the church, and are only sepa rated by Mr. Watney's mill. In cross-examination the constable further said that he was standing near a lamp-post when the four passed him, and he had every opportunity of seeing their faces. Besides, it was a moonlight night. lie could swear to the three first-mentioned prisoners. Jas. Payne, police-sergeant 19 V, said that about two o'clock he met Stirling, who told him that he suspected something was wrong. He accompanied him to the waterside, and saw five men in a boat. He stood watching them for two or three minutes, when they came closer to the bank, between the barges and the mill. He saw one man take hold of the chain which fastened a barge to the wharf, and then Barton ascended the wall of the mill. He had something like a stick in his hand, about two feet long. Mahoney and Hayward followed with another, leaving the fourth standing up in the boat. Witness then directed Stirling to remain while he went for assistance. He afterwards called up a waterman, and he rowed him gently along from the White Hart. He laid down at the bottom of the boat in order that he should not be observed. When he got to the mill he found two men in the boat, and upon his landing on the barge one jumped on to the shore and ran along by the water's edge ; the other ran across the barge, and he pursued him, but he fell into the Thames and disappeared. Mr. Fenn said it was supposed that he was drowned. The sergeant, in continuation, said he then heard the voice of Baker, who was a plain-clothes consta ' ble, calling from the direction of Mr. Dives's pre mises, " Look out, there arc two men swimming in the water." He then took the waterman's boat again and he discovered Hayward sitting on a post under Mr. Watney's premises. His clothes were dripping with water, and he appeared as if he had just come out of the river, He was shivering, and said, " For God's sake do not hurt me." Witness took hold of him and endeavoured to get him into the boat, but in consequence of the tide running very strong he (witness) was capsised into the water and was drenched. He however caught hold of Hayward's leg, and with the assistance of the watermen he was pulled in the boat. He at last secured Hayward in the boat, and they were rowed to the shore. He took him into the road where Stirling was standing with Barton, but he was ap prehensive of leaving them both in the charge of Stirling, so they had to wait nearly twenty minutes before assistance. While they were standing in the road he heard fearful cries in the churchyard, at the back of the church, as if some one was being ill used. Witness then ob served a constable named Jennery get over the wall from the church, and some one cried out, (i Look sharp, you will catch him," and ano th er voice sa id , C ome on." Mahoney appeared, and then jumped over the wall to the water's edge. Witness called out " There he goes ; he is in the water again." The prisoner then went through the water to the back of the Swan. Witness fastened the two pri soners together, and left them in charge of Stirling and other constables who came up. He then went with Jennery in the waterman's boat, and rowed to the back of the Swan, but they were unable to find Mahoney. However, after searching several pre mises, they discovered him concealed in a coalhole in a backyard, which was enclosed by a wall eight feet high. After a struggle they succeeded in get ting Mahoney into the boat, and he was conveyed to the shore, and afterwards to the station with the other prisoners. The witness added that while he was standing in the road with the prisoners, and after Mahoney had disappeared at the back of the S wan, Constable Baker came out of the churchyard bleeding profusely from the head. He could scarcely stand, and two gentlemen assisted him to the doc tor's, and he was afterwards taken to St. George's Hospital. • He saw him at the hospital on Sunday night, and he had nine severe cuts on the head. He was very ill, and could scarcely speak. Wit ness examined Mr. Dives's premises, and found the outside door facing the ri v e r forced Ope n, and a lucifer match laid just inside. The counting-house door had been forced open, and a large iron " jemmy," which was afterwards found upon the premises, corresponded exactly with the ranks on the door post. William May, and elderly man, said he was fore man and manager at Mr. Dives's mill. He lock e d up the place about half-past eight o'clock on Satur day night, and when the police called him at five o'clock he found the counting-house broken open. All the property he missed consisted of a fow re ceipt stamps, order stamps, some Copp ers , and a counterfeit half-crown•—(Laughter.) Thomas Neath, police-constable 113 V, said that about three o'clock on Sunday morning he wen t to Mr. Bridge's coal wharf, p accom- o flied by inspee• Lovelace, and saw Willis and Cor mac k in dif ferent boats. They watched them for so me time, and they kept rowing to and fro, and he could hear them speaking toeach other. After wa iting for some time another constable came up, an d believing they were connected with the same par ty,they went after them. When they were brought to the shore they were asked to account for being there, and the only answer theygave was, they were only there for their pleasure. 11l answer to questions from the Bench, the con- THE SUN, LONDON TUESDAV EVENING, SEPTAMI3ER 4, 1860, stable said they were rowing about for upwards of a quarter of an hour, and appeared as if they were waiting for some one A watchman upon some of the adjoining premises spoke to seeing two men rowing about in different boats, and he heard one call to the other, " Have you got a bottle P" They rowed close to each other and then pulled.away again. Inspector Lovelace said that that was all the evi dence he had to offer that day, and he asked his worship fora remand. Mr. Ingham said he should remand them all until Tuesday next. Mr. Fenn laid upon the table a number of house breakers' implements, which were picked up after the affray. Besides the life-preserver found in the church-yard, and which is supposed to be the blud geon used upon Baker's head, was discovered a large lantern full of oil. Upon Mr. Dives's premises were found two iron " jemmi es, " a beautifully-executed centre-bit, or screw-driver, which fitted to one of the jemmies, haedle, a hunting-whip, with a b r a ss h oo k as the andalong thick stick in the shape of a blind-roller. Mr. Ingham, in a later part of th e d ay, a tt en d e d St. George's Hospital,i and took the depositions of Baker, as it was stated that the constable was in' a very precarious state. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. Hon. John Fortescue : The Hon. John 'William Fortescue, of 17, Grosvenor-square ' formerly M.P. for Barnstaple—the second son of Earl Fortescue, K.G., P.C.—made his will on the 12th Sept., 1859, whilst residing in Madeira, appointing as sole exe cutor his brother, Viscount Ebrington, M.P. for Plymouth for many years, and latterly for Mary lebone. The personalty was sworn under £12,000. The testator has bequeathed to his younger brother, the Hon. Dudley Francis Fortescue, M.P. for An dover, a life interest in the sum of £5,000, which, on his decease, is to devolve to his brother's chil dren. In a memorandum forming part of his will there are many legacies of a minor nature, but the principal of them are confined to different members of his family and to some few personal friends. We must not, however, omit to mention that there are two important bequests in the will—namely, £l,OOO to the Bishop of London for church endow ments in the bishop's diocese, and £5OO for church and educational purposes in or near Castle-hill, Devon. The residue of his property he gives to his brother, Viscount Ebrington. Sir W. Horne : The will and three codicils of Sir William Horne, Knt., Q.C., were proved on the 20th of August by the Rev. William Home, his eldest son , an d H enr y E ger t on , E sq., barrister, Lincoln's•i nn , the executors. The will is dated 1852. The property he has bequeathed is of a mixed character, the personalty amounting to £30,000. Sir William has directed his son, the Rev. W. Horne, to carry out certain trusts under marriage settlements and other covenants. The will is en tirely of a family nature, and the benefits to be de rived therefrom are exclusively confined to its nu merous members. Sir William was twice married, and ultimately died a widower, at the age of 87. Illustrated London News. COUNTRY MARXBia. COLCHESTER..--SEPT. 1. The past week has been fair harvest weather.
