The advanced positions of the Garibaldians were taken and retaken several times. Grape mowed down the men unmercifully ; no quarter was asked or given. Attacks and conflicts beginning with the rifle, ended with the stiletto and the pistol. One regiment, the 7th or sth Chasseurs of the Royalists, which had been despatched to aid in surrounding a part of the Garibaldians, were themselves, by a very bold move of the General, surrounded, and, with the exception of thirty-five men and their General, were annihilated. Till the reinforcements arrived the utmost the Garibaldians could do was to hold the more important positions, and to retreat from the points where they were not sufficiently strong. The resistance was murderous, but when about noon 5,000 supports had arrived, the tide turned, and the repulse was like a.slaugh ter. To the last the Royalists fought hard, but they seem to have been literally forced back, with fearful loss, by the better personal soldiership of their less numerous antagonists. It remains to be seen whether the KING will try another appeal to blood. His chances must be but small now. The inferiority of even his picked men to the volunteers of GARIBALDI is fully proved — and they have lost 5,000 men at least, killed, wounded, and prisoners. The moral effect can hardly fail to be disorganising, especially to an army fighting in an unpopular cause. And his Generals know now, if they did not before, that they, too, have a first-rate commander to meet. Gaeta may be strong, but it cannot hold out for ever against an army and a fleet too ; rather against two armies, for that of CIALDINI will not longer respect the title of the King of Naples. Surely the KING himself, well knowing that no one will defend him and the patrimony of ST. JANUARIUS, will take his long-looked-for voy age to the kindly shores of Spain or Austria. The sooner he does so the better, for what we may now call his brave army ; for it has had the credit of pushing back for a time the GARIBALDIANS them se] yes, and to the last proved that it could fight, when only two to one, against the victorious pa triots.

THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 9, 1880. The FIRST OF OCTOBER Will ever be a glorious day in the memories of Southern Italy. The battle of the Volturno will be numbered amongst those, not very numerous fights, in which a noble cause, soldierly courage, and consummate generalship combined to give the victory to a smaller army over a vastly larger one, fighting, too, with very great advantages. The probability is that the KING'S forces nearly, if not quite, doubled those of GARI BALDI at each period of the day. The attack began with 21,000 on GARIBALDI'S 10,000, and by the time GARIBALDI had brought up 5,000 more, the Royalists would appear to hive brought into action double that number. We have every reason to be lieve that this time, as at Melazzo, OARIBALDI had determined soldiers to deal with. Part of them were mercenary Germans, and would fight as pro fessional soldiers; the rest must have been that portion of the army which had thought its best chance lay in standing by the KING, and all appear to have been stimulated by such rewards as Royalty would offer when the alternatives depending on victory were, possibly a crown, or certainly exile. The hitherto supine or timid young monarch, moreover, himself same forth to the field of battle and commanded in person. Had he done the same thing at Naples, probably GARIBALDI WOUld not have been within that city In one thing, all England especially, and all the worth and liberalism of Europe will rejoice—that GARIBALDI has resumed a public position from which no diplomacy can lower him. He still stands as the first man in Italy—may we not say, the first man, in action, of all the leaders of Europe at the present day. A trifling ill-success in arms, a noble political aspiration, too noble for diplomatic sym pathy, brought on him ungenerous censure or coldness for a moment ; but the hero of the Vol turno has obtained a pedestal from which he can not be displaced. Moreover, he has given such evidence of genius for command, that we verily believe he has the full consciousness in his own bosom, that, put him in command of his own volun teers, and allow him to direct the movements of the Sardinian army, and he would sweep the stolid, stupid Austrians from their famous Quadrangle. It may be better to wait—but we believe that GARIBALDI knows in himself that he could clear Italy of the accursed Tedeschi. It sounds very much like a quid pro quo, a ROWLAND for an OLIVER, six and half-a-dozen — when with an eye askance at the 600,000 soldiers of France, we hear General PEEL at an agricul tural dinner at Huntingdon returning thanks for the 600,000 defenders of the British Empire, distributed through those three great divisions of the public service—the QUEEN'S Army, the Royal Navy, and the Rifle Volunteers. Only—one recollects immediately that France has her 600,000 men concentrated almost within the solid and compact square of her own dominions, whereas England has her 600,000 men scattered far and wide over both hemispheres— " Far as the breeze can bear the billows foam, Survey our Empire and behold our home I These are our realms, no limits to their sway— Our flag the sceptre, all who meet obey !" Insomuch that the formal title by which her MAJESTY assumed last year the right of sove reignty over the peninsula of Hindostan with its 200,000,000 inhabitants was nothing less magnifi cently imperial, yet strictly and literally nothing more than the simple truth without one particle of exaggeration than that of " VICTORIA by the Grace of GOD, QUEEN of Great Britain and Ire land, and of all the dependencies thereof in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Australasia !" It is over this world-wide dons tin that our 600,000 men are scattered, east, west, north, south over the four continents, and what Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON has, by a stupendous Scotch bull, called (in the ninth section of the first chapter of the Initial Volume of his Continuation of the History of Europe) the "fifth hemisphere !" Again, while France has her 600,000 men col lected together for the most part within the quad rangle of her own immediate frontiers—those 600,000 are only of one branch of the public ser• vice exclusively, not like our 600,000 of all branches collectively. The Imperial navy—second only among the navies of the world to our own—and the National Guard,' are supplementary to that vast number of 600,000 SOLDlERS—infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers. Whatever the aggregate with us, as before intimated, as succinctly explained in his speech by the Ex-Minister for War, is attained by a combination of all arms united, whether afloat or ashore, whether military or maritime. One hun dred thousand gallant tars and Royal marines-- one hundred thousand pensioners, militiamen, and yeomanry—one hundred and fifty thousand rifle volunteers—two hundred and fifty thousand sol diers in the Queen's army, including those in her Majesty's regular army, the troops hitherto owning allegiance to John Company in Hindostan. It is a total, therefore, attained only by a most compre hensive effort at numerical combination, only we might venture to add by a somewhat forced and over-strained computation. Such as it is, how ever, there is the undeniable fact that England has her aggregate of defenders to the number of 600,000—army, navy, marines, militia, yeomanry and volunteers. yet. But the genius of GARIBALDI and the bravery of his army was more than a match for all. He had been for some days strengthening his position, in expectation of some attempt on the part of the Royalists. His policy, since the defeat of LAMORI CIERE, had evidently become that of the defensive, while awaiting the descent of CIALDINI from the North, by which the KING would be placed between two armies ; the enemy's policy was obviously that of attacking the armies in detail, the weaker and nearer first. Besides, if :FRANCIS 11. could over power GARIBALDI, and return to his unwarlike capi tal, it would have been too great a violation of non intervention for the King of PIEDMONT'S Generals to have attacked another Monarch in the seat of his power, Fully aware of all this, and well informed of all that was going on to the north of the Volturno, GARIBALDI spared no pains to get ready for an attack. The details are too numerous to be repeated here, but they will be found in another column, in addi- What is—" Vexing and troubling a tion to those we gave last evening.

A bench of county justices, at least one-half of them Reverends themselves, has so decided. With an ecclesiastical unctuousness, reminding us strongly of the old inquisitors, who mercifully buried bodies for the good of souls—the Rev. EDWARD POTE NEALE begged the bench, indeed, not to inflict more than a nominal fine; but the Vicar of Horsey well knew that the poor man and woman must also pay 13s, each for expenses ; and all for the indecency of singing two verses of a hymn, which, as our readers may have seen in yesterday's Sun, were as befitting the occasion as they well could be. HAYMA.RKET THEATRE: After an absence of many years Mr. John Brougham made his appearance here last evening, and met with a most cordial and enthusiastic reception. A new comedy, written by himself, entitled "Romance and Reality," was also produced for the first time, and met with the most marked and decided success. The great object of the piece is the exhibition of a number of comical figures, who play all sorts of practical jokes upon each other, according to the most approved stage rules, and who, while utterly unlike anything in the actual world, are endowed with that amount of "character," as it is called, that actors can grapple with facility, and the public with facility appre ciate. The young lady's guardians, Oliver and Jasper Manley (Messrs. Rogers and Chippendale), one bland, the other irascible; Mr. Lavender Swift (Mr. W. Farren), a bearded exquisite; Frank Meredith (Mr. Howe), a carica ture of romantic devotion ; Rosabel (Miss Florence Hay don), the young lady herself, another caricature; Barbara Manley (Mrs. Wilkins), a strong-minded advocate of the rights of woman; Tom Badger and Blossom (Mr. Clark and Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam), two normal specimens of the theatrical servant genus; and, lastly, Jacob Swift (Mr. John Brougham), an impudent adventurer, who by dint of sheer assurance becomes everybody's confidant—all these make up a very merry assembly, and cause the audience to roar not a little. But surely there must be something behind. Yes, there is. The poor people appear to belong to those pariahs of the religious world—the Primi tive Methodists. A body of persons who, if they have not received a grammar-school and university education, have yet, in some places, been so use ful among those of their neighbours, whom no clergyman reaches, that two landlords, whom we happen to know, gave them ground for building their little chapels, and readily added pecu niary aid, on account of the good effect of their teaching on the agricultural labourers.. We doubt not the vicars of those parishes were much vexed and troubled by the deeds of these landlords. The landlords, however, wanted the parish labourers kept from drunkenness and poaching, and they found that these " Primitives," be their dialect what it might, were a better spiritual police than his Reverence the Vicar. The poor woman's child died very young. It had not been baptised; the Vicar knew it. He posted off to the woman's house to tell her that though the SAVIOUR said, "of such is the Kingdom of Heaven," he could not read over it the service by which he sends to that kingdom all the blas phemers, atheists, and drunkards he inters. Some conversation followed, which is differently related by the woman and the Vicar, but the upshot was the poor people prayed to their GOD outside the church wall, and probably meant to do no more. When however, they got to the grave, to their feelings it seemed like burying a dog or a cat, if nothing re ligious were done. They sung the verses, The Vicar, on the watch, it seems, came up and told them it annoyed him ! They, probably, did not even comprehend him, as indeed we cannot. So he brings them before the Smallburgh bench of Justices. At the close Mr. Brougham (the author of the piece) re appeared, and with much emotion expressed, in becoming terms, the satisfaction he had, not only at the kind recep - tion he had personally received, but also at the liberal ap plause bestowed on his " Crude effort," the main success of which was attributable to the excellent manner in which Mr. Buckstone had placed it on the stage, and to the ability displayed by Mr. Chippendale and the dramatis personae generally. The case was ably defended by Mr. TILLETT, the Mayor of Norwich, and notice ultimately given of appeal. Certainly if the magistrates be right it will be a singular abuse of an Act passed only last year to protect Mr. BRYAN KING. Little did the majo rity of the House of Commons think when they voted for it, that two poor godly Methodists could be convicted under it, not of disturbing service or worship, not of insulting and maltreating any clergymen, but of singing devoutly in the parish churchyard, for the consolation of mourning parents, and when no person was near who could be interrupted by them. If the magistrates are right, the House of Commons, at least, had no thought of putting such a weapon into the hands of perverse vicars. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge yesterday resumed his duties as General Commanding in Chief, at the Horse Guards. His Royal Highness returned to town on Saturday evening, from passing the week with Sir George Wombwell, Bart., at Newburgh Park, York shire, where the Earl of Coventry, Lord Courtenay, and a select circle met his Royal Highness. The Duke and party had abundant sport in the preserves of the worthy baronet. The Earl and Countess of Devon and Lady Agnes Courtney have arrived at Powderham Castle, Devon, from visiting the Newcastle family estates in Ireland. The Earl of Lonsdale is entertaining a select circle at Whitehaven Castle, Cumberland. The Hon. Colonel Lowther and Miss Lowther and Sir Henry Willoughby are among his lordship's visitors. The Marquis of Lansdowne and the Countess of Shelburne have left Lansdowne House, Berkeley-square, for Bowood, Wilts. His Excellency the Marquis D'Azeglio left the Sardinian Legation on Saturday for St. Giles's, Dorset, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, who are entertaining a select circle at their country seat. The Earl of Dudley arrived at Dudley House, Park-lane, on Saturday, from his shooting quarters in the north of Scotland. Sir Alexander Cockburn, the Lord Chief Justice of England, has returned to town from a brief tour in Italy. Lord Stanley, Colonel Talbot, Lady Emma Stanley, and a numerous party from Knowsley, visited the Exhibition of the Liverpool Society of Fine Arts on Satur day. The council awarded the society's prize of £lOO to Mr. Solomon's picture of " Drown'd, drowned." In the votes of the subscribers there was a tie between this picture and that of " The Murder of Thomas a Becket," by Mr. Cross ; Mr. O'Neil's " Volunteer" came next. The Earl of Carlisle is entertaining a family circle at the Viceregal seat at Dublin. The Marquis and Marchioness of Kildare, Lady Caroline Lascelles and Misses Lascelles, the Hon. and Rev. F. and Lady Eliza beth. Grey, and Captain Lascelles, are staying with his Excellency. Lady John Russell and family left Abergeldie Castle, N. 8., in the early part of last week, for the south. Her ladyship and children proposed to pass a .few days with the Earl and Countess of Minto, at Minto-house, near Ha wick. Viscount Clifden, who arrived a few days since from visiting the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland at Dun robin Castle, New Brunswick, has left town for Newmarket. Viscountess Jocelyn and family arrived at Vis count Palmerston's residence, in Piccadilly, yesterday, from visiting the Hon. Chas. Spencer Cowper, at Sandingham, Norfolk. In the Synod recently held at Grun, in Hungary, the Cardinal Primate declared that he saw no objection to the clergy wearing the national Hungarian costume, but, with respect to the colours, it was advisable to observe the proprieties of the ecclesiastical profession. MURDEROUS ATTACK AT LEEDS.—A shocking crime was committed at the village of New Wortley, in the borougii of Leeds, on Monday morning. A few minutes before five o'clock, a man named Stephen Lupton, a grocer and provision dealer, who also sells some descriptions of drugs, was awakened by hearing a knocking at the outer door of his house. The bedroom in which he slept was over his shop, and the shop communicated with his house. On looking out of the window he saw a neighbour at the door, a man named John Kenworthy. Lupton asked him what he wanted, and Kenworthy replied, " Some castor oil," whereupon the former slipped on his stockings, shirt, and trousers, went downstairs, and let the man into the house. Lupton left Kenworthy in the house and pro ceeded into the shop, taking with him a lighted candle, which he held in his hand. The fellow had previously given him a bottle, and, after pouring two ounces of castor oil into it, he returned with it into the house. Kenworthy, after receiving the bottle, asked for several other articles, which were placed on a chair, and he then asked what the price of them all amounted to. Lupton turned to reckon their value, and, as he was engaged in doing so with his back to Kenworthy, the coward felled him to the ground by a heavy blow on the crown of the head. Lupton imme mravneor,thteor getblo w h 0 0 l on o t the imme diately tried to spri ng t o hi s f eet, b ut, b e f ore h e cou ld d o so, a n h managed, e th e e prisoner, rownof the an h d eadHe geedc, received another strug gled with him as well as he could. Lupton succeeded in alarming the neighbaurs. He has received dangerous injuries, which were inflicted with a hatchet. The motive for the attack is not known. It does not appear that Ken worthy's object was plunder. He was brought up at the Town-hall, Leeds, and remanded till Wednesday. He is 25 years of age, and is a firebrick-maker, in the employ of Messrs. Armitage, of Farnley. Lupton is 29 years of age. THE VOLUNTEERS FOR GARIBALDI.—The follow ing is an extract from a letter received from one of the volunteers for Garibaldi, who left Edinburgh a short time ago. The letter is dated " Gibraltar, Sept. 25 :"—" Dear thr , date of this you see our present destinati on . sir,—From Sunday morning a littl e last after We sailed from L ondon bout 250 daybreak; our complement being about 250 strong.

The enterprising directress of this elegant establishment has allowed no time to be lost in her efforts to restore the doubtful success of the piece with which the present season was opened on Monday, and we are delighted to say t'aat the triumph of Mr. Bourcicault's comedy of the " Irish Heiress" was complete. This piece was first produced about 1843, ana played at Drury-lane with the powerful dramatic caste of that period. The piece itself is a compo sition of the best and most esteemed school of English comedy, and is confessedly one of Mr. Bourcicault's most successful efforts, whether we look to the ingenious struc ture of the plot, the sparkling dialogue, or the rapid de velopment of the action. Its reproduction last night was for the purpose of introducing to an English audience Miss Gougenheim, a lady who has achieved great success in America. Miss Gougenheim possesses personal qualifications of a high order, and is thoroughly mistress of her art, but we miss the ringing laugh of the charming actress (Mrs. Nesbitt) who originally sustained the part of Norah Mar rion, and the complete harmony of her voice, for, in truth, Miss Gougenheim is somewhat harsh in tone when she aims at forced and strong expression. This, we are wil ling to believe, may in a great degree arise from her very natural desire, upon the occasion of a first representation, to lose no point in the lively and energetic dialogue placed in her hands, but it is obvious that the natural vivacity of the character ought not to be deprived of those feminine and sub dued graces which constitute the charm of the wild Irish girl. The general character of the plot is familiar to the play going public, and the principal parts were sustained by Mr. George Vining as Lord Daventry, Mr. Villiers as Sir Wil liam Stanmore, Percy Ardent by Mr. Neville, Mr. Rouse as Major Fop, Mr. Lyon as Supple, the lawyer. Miss Kate Saville filled the part of Lady Daventry, and Miss Hatton that of the Hon. Mrs. Comfort. Two of the most telling scenes in the play were a garden scene in which the separation takes place between Lord Daventry and his wife, most charmingly rendered by Mr. George Vining and Miss Kate Saville, and that at the house of Sir William Stanmore, which is the closing scene in the comedy. It is now our most gratifying duty to say that the acting of last night was in the highest degree flattering to our stage, and as regards the mise-en-seene we are persuaded that few houses in London could - have accomplished so artis tic a result. Shall we particularise the acting of any one of the artistes where each and all are so richly deserving of commendation ? In a word, it was a great triumph, and the most fastidious critic As well as the oldest play-goer could not fail to be delighted with so charming a revival of an exquisite comedy so admirably played. All honour is due to Madame Celeste for the very liberal and tasteful manner in which all the accessories were provided. The house was literally crammed, and the applause was continuous from the commencement to the end. We must reserve for a future notice the reproduction of the "Abbe Vaudreuil," which appears to us to be entirely newly appointed in dresses, decorations, costumes, and scenery, and which is reinforced by a very charming addition in the choregraphic department, by the introduction of two very charming young ladies and most accomplished danseuscs, the Misses , Collinson. AS T LEY' S AMPHITHEATRE. s Last night a new and grand spectacle, entitled " Robin Hood ; or, the Merrie Men of Sherwood Forest " (from the pen of the veteran author, E. Fitzball), was produced at this world-renowned place of amusement, and was received with extraordinary success. The subject of the drama—brave, gallant Robin Hood— has always been a favourite with men, women, and children for ages, and a more pleasing subject for dramatic illustra tion could not have been selected. Unlike the generality of hippo-dramatic spectacles, Robin Hood possesses the rare merit of a neat and consecutive plot, with the additional advantage of being clear and easily understood. after a very characteristic overture the curtain rose and revealed to view one of the most splendid scenic illusions within the reach of imagination, namely, Old London from Tower hill by moonlight ; and the applause elicited by the opening scene seemed to animate the actors into a desire to show their talent to the utmost. The story of the piece is as follows :—Robert, Earl of Huntingdon, is on the point of marriage with Lady Marian, daughter of the Earl of Clare, when Sir Robert Perrys, the illegitimate son of Robert's father, lays claim to his estate and fortune. In order that he may do so successfully, he, by the assistance of the sheriff of Nottingham, concocts a forged will, leaving to him (Sir Gilbert) everything but the title of Earl of Hunt ingdon. Having laid claim to the revenues of Huntingdon, and that claim being considered good, he proposes to the Earl of Clare for the hand of Marian, especially as Robert has become penniless by the loss of his estates. The father secretly favours the suit of Sir Gilbert, and, at the moment Robert is about to claim the hand of Marian as the reward of his success at the archery fete, it is refused, and Robert is driven ignominiously from the castle. In a fit of des. peration he vows to become an outlaw, and to live for but two purposes—love, and revenge on those who have be trayed him. in the second act we find Robert surrounded by his merrie men in Sherwood Forest, with a reputation of being feared by everybody, while, on the contrary, by those by whom he is known, he is beloved for his kind ness and bravery. Marian, to escape the tyranny of her father, quits his castle, and fortune directs her steps to Sherwood Forest, where she is discovered by her lover, Robin Hood. By accident Robin has rescued the King, who had strayed from his attendants, from the violence of Sir Gilbert; and as his Majesty, who is in the disguise of a forester, happens to be on the spot, he presides at Robin's nuptials, and presents the bride with a ring, telling her that one day she may perhaps stand in need of a friend. This prediction is very shortly afterwards verified, for Robin Hood, having gone into the town of Nottingham to raise money on some jewels, is captured through the instrumentality of a Jew usurer, and taken before the Sheriff, who orders him to be instantly executed. Marian thinks of her ring, takes it to the King, and asks the life of her husband, Robin Hood. The request is instantly granted by his Majesty, and the bold outlaw is rescued from danger, and restored to all his honours ; and the Sheriff and Sir Gilbert, whose villainy has been discovered, are both marched off to pri son. There is a smart little under plot, in which Allen-a- Dale, Will Scarlet, Little John, and Claribella are intro duced, which gives additional interest to the piece. Mr. John Pritchard, as Robin Hood, acted the part with great spirit and ability. For some years this gentleman has been a stranger to the London boards, but his reappear ance at Astley's will no doubt be a source of great pleasure to those with whom he was a great favourite when last in the metropolis. Mr. Francis's Will Scarlet was an admir able performance; and Mr. Roberts, Mr. Ellis, and Mr. Johnson all deserve high commendation for the manner in which they acquitted themselves in their respective parts of King Richard, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Friar Tuck. Miss Rebecca Isaacs, as Allen-a-Dale, has a number of pretty songs to sing, which she does in the sweetest manner—in each case she was honoured with an encore— and Miss Bathurst and Miss Scott, as Marian and Claribella, acted most charmingly. The piece has been put upon the stage in a most magnifi cent manner, both with respect to scenery and dresses—the expenditure upon which must have been enormous. Nothing could exceed, both for beauty and reality, the representa tions of Sherwood Forest, with Robin Hood's bridal, the Hunting Tower near the forest, and the exterior of Notting ham Castle. They all elicited the most enthusiastic ap plause. At the fall of the curtain all the principal artistes were called for, and the announcement of the piece for repetition every evening until further notice was made amidst the unanimous applause of a house crowded to the ceiling.

The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : ROME, OCT. 6. The French occupy Viterbo, Velletri, Civita Vecchia, Castellana, Tivoli, Palestrina, Frascati, Albano, and Valmontone. It is asserted that the Pope has refused a pecu niary indemnity offered by Napoleon and Victor Emmanuel. The Pope will remain at Rome. The report of Major Reilly states that the loss of the Irish battalion in the fight at Spoleto was only three killed and ten wounded. It is said that Monsignore Merode will be dis- missed. ANCONA, OCT. 9. Ft The King has proceeded towards the Neapolitan frontier. A manifesto of his Majesty, addressed to the people of Southern Italy, has been published. To• day the Sardinian troops enter Neapolitan ter ritory. PARIS, OCT. 9. M. Mon, the Spanish Ambassador, remitted yes terday to the Emperor an autograph letter of Queen Isabella, in reply to the letter left by his Majesty at Mahon. NAPLES, OCT. 4 (via GENOA). Yesterday the Royal troops made a sortie in order to support a column of Bavarians, whose retreat had been cut off by the Garibaldians. The Royal troops were repulsed. The report is current that Capua has surrendered, and that the Royalists are retiring towards Gaeta. The number of Royal troops made prisoners in the battle on the Volturno is 5,000. The Ministers have waited on Garibaldi and de clared that they would remain in office if the Dic tator accepts the programme they are about to present. PALERMO, OCT. 5 (via CAGLIARI). The Pro-Dictator has issued a decree convoking the electoral colleges for the 21st of October, when they will proceed to the nomination of deputies. Another decree will indicate the day upon which the oleputics will assemble at Palermo. TURIN, OCT. 8. General Lamoriciere has arrived at Genoa and is lodged in the Royal Palace. In to•day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Signor Ferrari spoke against the laws of annexa tion. He said, "No difference exists between Up per and Lower Italy. Everybody wishes Italy to be free. This idea animates both Garibaldi and King Victor Emmanuel; the difference between them exists in its realisation. In delivering Upper Italy Piedmont imposed upon that country her laws, her capital, and her Administration. Pied mont has made Upper Italy Piedmontese. Accord ing to historical tradition and the opinion of Balbo and Gioberti, the capital, laws, and administration of Naples are superior to those of Sardinia. The Two Sicilies cannot be unconditionally annexed to Piedmont. To enforce their immediate annexation would be to act with ingratitude towards Gari baldi, who desires to defer this measure. Neither is there any urgent necessity for it, as anarchy does not exist in the Two Sicilies." Upon the question of confidence in the Ministry Signor Ferrari said that he was opposed to Count Cavour, whom he stated to be unequal to the situation, because he would not attack Rome and Venice. Signor Ferrari then expressed his apprehensions that France would in time absorb Italy. He con cluded by eulogizing at length the project of an Italian confederation, which he declared would alone save Italy. Signor Boggio remarked upon the present policy of Sardinia, and said—" Thanks to the patriotism of Charles Albert and Victor Emmanuel, the initia tive in favour of Italian unity was taken by Sar dinia, but the national sentiment was planted in our country by the influence of the exiles, the elite of whom have come to disseminate it throughout the Italian territory. The rise in Sardinian Rentes continues. PARIS, OCT. 9. Baron Mayer de Gravenegg, Secretary of the Austrian Embassy at Rome, has passed through Paris on his way to Marseilles, where he will embark for Civita Vecchia and Rome. He is the bearer of the reply of the. Austrian Cabinet to the Circular note addressed by the Holy See on the 18th of September to the European Courts. The Austrian Cabinet, although severely cen suring the Sardinian invasion of the Papal States, declares the utter impossibility of intervening other wise than in the ordinary diplomatic way. The Patric says :—" According to despatches re ceived from Italy, considerable military prepara tions are being made in Sardinia, as well as in Venetia." The Patric also publishes, under reserve, a rumour to the effect that the bombardment of Capua com menced on the sth inst., and that the Garibaldians had taken the south bastion. The same journal announces that M. de Kisseleff will leave to-morrow for Warsaw, and says :—" M. de Schowarloff will not leave until Thursday next. It is asserted that M. de Balabine will not proceed to Warsaw." VIENNA, OCT. 8. It is asserted that at the interview at Warsaw the basis of a programme for a future Congress on Italian affairs will be examined and afterwards sub mitted for approval to France and England. ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 8. Count Thun and Baron Bismark Schoenhausen, the Ambassadors of Austria and Prussia at the Russian Court, will proceed to Warsaw to be present at the interview of the Sovereigns. GENEVA, MONDAY. The .Journal de Geneve states that the questions of Savoy and the neutrality of Switzerland will be discussed at the interview at Warsaw, BERLIN, MONDAY. Baron von Schleinitz has addressed a fresh des patch to Baron Werther, the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna, on the affairs of the Duchies of Schles wig-Holstein. This despatch states that Prussia will soon be obliged to give her serious attention to these questions, and instructs Baron Werther to claim the co-operation of Austria. FRANCE. The Moniteur publishes a circular, dated 2d inst., addressed by the Director-General of the Customs to the Directors at the different outports, giving instructions relative to the application of the new tariff of duties on iron and steel of British origin : " I transmitted to you on the 29th ult. a copy of the decree relative to the new tariff for cast iron, iron, and steel, of British origin and manufacture. The application of this tariff is the object of the in structions contained in the present circular. " The duties established by the decree of the 29th ult. are the result of a protocol, signed by the pleni potentiaries of France and Great Britain, specially relating to iron and steel of B.itiih origin.
