Our last information is that the Emperor of the FRENCH has broken off diplomatic relations with the King of SARDINIA. His representative is to leave the Court of Turin, and a secretary only to remain, for the transaction of business. The reason assigned is the entrance of the KING'S troops into the Papal States. What does it all mean ? In the case of a straight forward Government, no such question need be asked ; yet in that of the French EMPEROR the question will arise, grave as the step may seem, Is it more than a blind? We all know that he over threw the liberties of France by two armies, one of priests, and one of soldiers ; by the help of the former he triumphed at the ballot•box, and kept the superstitious and ignorant peasantry right. Is he then now only providing the requi site defence for a Pope's protector ? Does he want to be able to say—" I forbid him to save the Pope's subjects even from the mercenaries of his Holiness —and, not satisfied with that, when he marched his troops over the border to stop Perugianism, I withdrew my representative ; what more could I do ?" This is quite a natural supposition in the case of such a man and under such circumstances. But, of course, its first aspect is threatening, and simply such. NAPOLEON may be really angry. He may be disposed to show what he can do. He, though intervening himself at Rome, may be dis posed to show that he will allow no other interven tion. His plans may be doubly thwarted—by the awkward position in which he will be placed if the Romans find means to proclaim their preference of the Sardinian to the French intervention ; and by the meeting of the KING'S troops and GARIBALDI'S, thus completing, much sooner than he likes, the military as well as the civil union of Italy. He may think that Austria, emboldened by the present good nature of Russia, will issue from the Quadrangle and compel the King of SARDINIA to retreat, or that Sardinia may by his threat be frightened merely. Some will see in it a move for a new European war. Of that, however, there is, we think, little danger. Russia has work enough on hand with the emancipatio n of her serfs, and her destitution of money. Austria has still more difficulty in moving, while every province of her empire is un settled, and wanting but some occasion of raising commotion, while money she has none. And the rest of Germany—what can it do ? Will Protes tant Prussia help the Porn against his sub jects? Then, do what the EMPEROR will, he cannot free himself from suspicion. Even if he meant to meet the wishes of- the other "POwers" he could not make them sure of it. He will never be trusted again. As to our country we can express but one opinion. The universal feeling o f England will be, that despite all Papal protesta tions, if the POPE would hire the scum of Europe to butcher Italians, VICTOR EMMANT'EL was quite justified in leading his own Italians to the succour of their fellow-countrymen. Insensibility to human suffering, and pleasure in torturing those who resist or oppose, is charac teristic of Ecclesiastics. Here and there a HAPS BURG or a BOURBON, and once in our own country the last of STUART Kings, found gratification in the agonies of patriots on the rack ; but singular it is that all these civilian potentates had been trained in ecclesiastical schools; Our JAMES IT., who de lighted in witnessing the effe c t s o f the boot and the thumbscrew, the whole r ace almost of the HAPSBURGS since the time of the Reformation and the thirty years' war, and last not least, th e BOURBONS of the Two Sicilies, were all d evoted adherents of the priesthood, and their education, with hardly an exception, conducted under the a uspices, or even the dirnt superintendence of the Jesuits. Jesuits also, either in the confessional, or openly in th e council chamber, have been the ad visers of all these worse than brutal rulers—for it were libelling the brutes to suppose them taking pleasure in pain. Only one of the priest-trained torturers now retains his throne—he of Vienna ; and he, though bad enough in this re spect, is yet a vast improvement some of his I predecessors • ours was kicked off the stage lon g ago; another has just been dismissed by his merci ful subjects ; and now it would seem as if accounts were to be settled with the professors themselves of the science of relentless cruelty. Priests have now for centuries been the cruel nus-rulers of Rome ; there they have had full play ; the Head of the Priesthood has been there to bless and sanctify all their atrocities; and, as might be expected, they have made themselves the detesta tion even of those who believe in their spiritual authority. Hardening indeed must be the effect of civil power on ecclesiastics,when it rouses against it the bitterest enmity of those who credulously think their eternal salvation, or the degree of purgatorial suffering, depends on the will of those whose rule they reject. Yet so it is. Peen in the year of our m LORD 1860, the class of m en who kindled the fire of Smithfield—who of ithla—ho changed the habits and cha racterfi the whole Spanish nation through the terror s of the Inqu isition—who b urned literally the Protestants out of Italy, which would other wise have been renovated by them socially and politically as well as religiously—who perpetrated all the horrors of Austrian cruelty against religion for long ages—who sung their Te Deums over the massacre of St. Bartholomew, and the repeal of the Edict at Nantes—even now this class of men are found butchering, plundering, and violating their subjects at Perugia last year, and pro mising this year to repeat the same bar barities on all towns which make the slightest uneasy movement under their odious rule. It seems as if ecclesiastics could never acquire the common sympathies of men ; as if it were one of their instincts to blast with all possible physical misery on behalf of their spiritual rule—or rather on behalf of their grasping secular through spiritual power. Would these fiends in human shape but show their faith in their spiritual powers by confining:themselves to spiritual anathemas, their subjects would then exult; they would risk them. But the anathemas of ANTONELLI and his master are personified in a mercenary Algerine General, at the head of all the mercenary brigands and cut throats he can hire throughout Europe. The Roman Priests curse their wretched subjects with something much more terrible than excommu nication and all that sort of eetherial fire— they exemplify the mercies of the Gospel by the hands of hired wretches whose business is mur der and plunder as more profitable than regular pay; and the purity of the Gospel, and the purity of their own immaculate celibacy, by an army of wretches who terrify the weaker half of their sub jects by brutalities worse than death. It is to put a stop to all this that VICTOR Eat- MANUEL'S army has crossed into the Papal States. It had become not a question of bad government merely, but of maintaining that government by the old ecclesiastical cruelties which chill the very blood of civilians. At one town, Fossombrone, it would appear the ecclesiastical outrages had already begun, and the KING would therefore be too late ; but in others, in all others we may hope, he will save the lives and property, and honour of the in habitants from the avarice and lust of the " POPE'S own." LAMORICIERE and his brigands appear to have betaken themselves to Ancona, and to be 8,000 strong there. The King of SARDINIA has, however, the means of holding him in check, and of taking the town, if something be not done to obviate such a necessity. All Europe, meaning of course, the people of Europe, must rejoice in the bold step which the KING has taken. It was intolerable that the POPE should be the only Monarch now left in Europe, who could not depend on an army of his own subjects. Armies are always the last to desert the man who commissions and pays them ; the bare fact, therefore, of regularly employing foreign mer cenaries, is alone condemnation enough of the rulers who depends on them. PIO Novo may be a model of a Pope for aught we know; but General LAMO RICIERE and his band prove that his secular Government is a monstrosity. It is VICTOR E3I MANUEL'S work to cut away its false support. But then, we are reminded, comes the difficulty. There is a person named GARIBALDI who, as well as the master of the French troops at Rome, must have something to say in the matter. He has already done all he has said he will do, and we are told to day that in a proclamation to the Neapolitans, he tells them that the annexation will be accomplished when he " shall be able to proclaim it from the top of the Quirinal." Is he going too fast ? We are told by some that VICTOR EMMANUEL is making his present move in order to place himself in mili tary occupation of the provinces of Italy nearest the Austrians, lest GARIBALDI should precipitate a war with them. That is just possible ; but it is quite as likely that he may think it necessary to prevent any awkwardness between the Romans, the French troops, and GARIBALDI'S. However, what his mysterious Majesty will do, no one, of course, knows. It is pretty certain that his soldiers will not be molested by any party, and almost as certain that they will do nothing, besides watch over the personal safety of the POPE. His Government they cannot save. It has lost itself, and no power in Europe can hope to save it. It is a thing of the past. It is behind the age. The ineradicable evil tendencies of priests in possession of secular power forbid the attempt at a prolonged trial. Mahom medan government in Turkey is infinitely more reasonable than priestly government in Rome, and the Imperial "Protector of the Pope" must find some better way of securing his ecclesiastical independence than that of upholding his secular rule by ten thousand foreign bayonets. It would be quite easy for the Catholic Powers of Europe to enter into an agreement with the King of SARDINIA, for any measure of independence a Bishop of Rome may need for their ecclesiastical purposes. Certain it is that Rome must be the civil capital of a united Italy. GARIBALDI'S proclamation does but publish the view which we ourselves had already expressed on this:subject. The suggestion of a plan for the immediate adop tion of a Decimal Coinage, advanced by a corre spondent of the Illustrated London News of Saturday, in a communication transferred to our columns on Monday evening from those of our pictorial contemporary although apparently at a superficial glance a very ingenious, will be found, we cannot but think, upon careful examination, a very clumsy proposition. Upon the very face of it—it is avowedly put forward as a merely tempo rary expedient. It is consequently after all a simple begging of the question, an evasion of the difficulty, an admitted complication —to avoid yet further complication. It is based, observe— this specious suggestion of "A Decimal Fraction" —upon the circumstance of the new copper coin being at last very nearly ready for circulation. That new copper coin consisting of Pence, Half pence, and Farthings of somewhat less value than those already in circulation. Wherefore, says our theorist —"To introduce the decimal' system, it is only necessary to reduce the value of a farthing to the I,oooth part of a pound instead of the 960th, as at present, and to issue one new coin of the value of ten farthings, and the - whole matter will be ac complished without the neces arty of deranging accounts or interfering with them in any way ex cept to rondo; them more simple And less liable to , T"RrE SUN,' LONDOW, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMI3IR 14, 1860. error." All which is certainly a delusion. It is beginning at the wrong end, or rather beginning at one of the ends, When the change ought by rights to commence at the middle ! Take the decimal coinage in France, for example, by way of illus tration. There the rational axiom is admitted and acted upon, which avers that tokens or coins ought to be not nominally, but actually in decimal proportions to each other.' The standard, the basis, the unit of all their calculations being the inter mediate coin—the Juste millieu between the oppo site extremes—the rßANC—above which all values are rendered as tens, or hundreds, or thousands of francs; below which the values are rendered by the tenth or hundredth parts of francs. So that, however large or however small the sum to be expressed—whatever the sum to be expressed —it may be indicated with the utmost facility, it may be expressed instantaneously. The Napoleons or Louis d'ors being, so to speak, merely ornamen tal coins or tokens, for all commercial purposes, swallowed up in forgetfulness; so also the liards, so also the sous, so also those little French six pences the half-francs ; so, too, in fine, those übi quitous imperial crowns that seem to constitute the bulk of the decimal coinage of Franco, the comely five-franc pieces. Everything is summed up simply in francs or in centimes, or in " francs" and "cen times." What we have to do in order to arrive at a result as simple, and, therefore, as satisfactory, is to commence de novo, to begin ab initio, that is, " with the beginning"—not according to the clumsy device of " A Decimal Fraction," by adopting the new copper coinage of diminished pence, ha'pence, and farthings, retaining the florins and the sove reigns in " nominal" proportion to that coinage, and calling in " at one fell swoop" three penny-bits and fourpenny-bits, crowns and half-crowns—BUT simply by coining a new SHIL LING altogether, a shilling worth ten copper pence, or twenty copper halfpence, each of the latter re presenting five "cents" or " centimes." Above this new English "Franc," the ten-penny SHILLING— might be the English " Five-franc-piece" or Crown of fifty pence value—and above that, again, in due sequence the pound or sovereign, equivalent to the old louis d'or or to a napoleon. In other words, we would say, of course, that—to have a decimal coinage at all we must have it whole and entire. A compro mise of any kind would, we are perfectly satisfied, be productive only of confusion worse confounded. According to the plan suggested by " A Decimal Fraction"—according to his own acknowledgment —" The current coins would then be all of a uni form though not strictly decimal character, and would stand as follows :—Farthings, of which four would still represent one penny, and ten one de , rime; decime, of which ten would represent one florin ; florins, of which ten would represent one pound. The shilling would still represent half a florin, and the sixpence the quarter florin. But the sooner they could be altogether superseded by pieces of a STRICTLY decimal character so much the better, and these might be of the respective value of two and five decimes, and would prove admirable substitutes for both coins ; the one being named the half florin, the other the double decime." So that the advocate of this bungling proposition is the very one who is constrained to admit, in making it, that it would be merely a partial change for the better—a mere com promise for temporary employment ! One, more over, that he confesses it would be "so much the better" the sooner these proposed fictitious repre sentatives of a decimal currency could be "alto gether superseded by pieces of a STRICTLY decimal character! " Admitting the perfect reasonableness of which addendum to his suggestions —we cannot but feel tempted to exclaim, in the wor is of ROLLA, in Pizzaro— " We seek no change, but least of all, Such change as he would bring us ! " Until we can have a real decimal currency—let us rest contented with our present currency, compli cated though it is, with pounds, half sovereigns, crowns, half crowns, florins, shillings, sixpences, fourpenny bits, threepenny bits, pennies, half pennies, and farthings. Better continue as we are than drop two or three of the old " familiars," for the purpose of foisting upon the public, in lieu of them, a sham decimal coinage that could only com plicate still further the complications already in separable in our accounts from the varied character of the coins already in general circulation. Those who would wish to thread with comparative ease the labyrinthine involutions of the problem of a me tallic currency, decimal or otherwise—may find the clue " to hand" in the 104th chapter of Mr. GROSSMITH'S Cyclopodian treaties upon " Govern ment on First Principles." In this remarkable section of a very remarkable work, the writer, after him self demonstrating the expensive character of a Metallic Currency—after reminding his readers that our coinage expenses in the reign of King %VILLIA3t alone exceeded £3,000,000 sterling, an amount that, at compound interest at 4 per cent., would have accumulated in a century to £250,000,000, and at 5 per cent. within the same interval to £400,000,000 !—Mr. GRoseMITH places Ineidly and succinctly before the public, under twelve heads, the most memorable among the con clusions arrived at by Sir JOHN SINCLAIR in his arguments in regard to " Circulation and Coin," and his inquiries as to the means of arresting the progress of our public calamities—our calamities, that is, monetary and mercantile. FLORAL BALL ROSES. IMPROMPTU ON VISITING THE FLORAL HALL, COVENT GARDEN. -Here wonder is mute, as one wanders around, Where roses on roses abound and abound. AT-EST r‘l,ri The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Itcuter's office : PARIS, _FRIDAY MORNING. The llioniteur says presence of the facts which have just been accomplished in Italy, the Emperor has resolved that his Minister shall imme• diately quit Tuiin. A Secretary will remain there to conduct the business of the Legations. The Noniteur also publishes the usual monthly return of the Bank of France, which shows the fol lowing results as compared with the August re turn : magazines of Torre del-Annunziata, but the general whnhabeen sent to_ examine the places for its re ception, told his Majesty that the old powder manzing..at. Gaeta .was in a ruinous state, and that the new one was not yet in a proper con dition to be used, being too damp. The King was in despair ; he found himself compelled at the moment of quitting to leave an immense quan tity of powder in the possession of Garibaldi. Time, however, pressed, and a Madonna, which a priest had caused to weep over the departure of the King, by means similar to those used for the lig* fication of the blood of St. Januarius, could not have the virtue of retaining him. The departure of the King made so little noise, and was accom plished with so much mystery that no one knows precisely at what hour he vanished." Speaking of the entry of Garibaldi, the same letter says " You will be enabled to form some idea of the crowd which collected on the passage of this extra ordinary man, when I tell you that his carriage took more than two hours to proceed from the rail way station to the Royal Palace, a distance which, in a general way, can be gone over in ten minutes. Bouquets were thrown to him with such profusion that the carriage, before its arrival at the Palace, was half full. The cries were so vociferous that the poor Dictator was obliged to ask for pity for his head. On arriving at the main guard-house, the sentinels all presented arms; the soldiers were drawn out in line, and the officers saluted with their swords. The same took place when the carriage of the general passed before the King's Palace. It was something truly astonishing to see all these armed men, who only a few hours before had received orders to exterminate the man who was now in their presence, bowing down before him, and paying him homage; when their former orders had not been revoked. This is a powerful testimony of the superiority of idea over brute force." A lettii . from Milan dated 11th September says :-- " The entrance of Garibaldi into Naples was celebrated yesterday evening, at Milan, in the most enthusiastic manner. The mlnicipal autho rities took the lead in the manifestation. They ordered the cathedral to be illuminated, and it is impossible to describe the effect produced by that magnificent pile, which is completely of white marble, shining in the night. The whole city was illuminated and decked with flags. From seven o'clock till eleven at night the whole population crowded the Corso, cheering and following bands of music playing triumphal airs. Portraits of Garibaldi at 25 centimes had a ready sale. It is nearly impossible to describe the almost electric enthusiasm which the very name of the Dictator inspires. There is one feature in the mani festation worth special mention. A number of illuminated drums fixed on long poles were carried through the streets, amid immense applause. On these drums were written the signi ficant inscriptions—' To Rome !" To Venice ! ' Rome the Capital 1' The sentiment of unity is growing with success. " Most cities of Italy celebrated last night this new annexation, which brings the kingdom of Victor Emmanuel up to nearly 20,000,000 of souls, but I doubt if any of them outdid Milan." ,ZIA YMA 7?K_E T TR E A 2.R E. Last evening the petit; comedy of " Naval En• gagements" was performed at this theatre, for the purpose of introducing Miss Florence Hay don, of the Dublin stage, to a London audience, in the part of Miss Mortimer. In personal appearance the young debutante is fascinatingly prepossessing. Her face is intelligent, her figure exceedingly graceful, her voice sweet and musical, added to which she is well up in stage business. Her debut was highly successful, and she will no doubt become a favourite with the public. The inimitable Charles Mathews takes his benefit here to-mprrow evening, A bumper at parting will be the certain result of the bare announcement of the fact. Lady John Russell and family will, we hear, re ma.i.n at Abergeldie after the departure of the noble lord to attend her Majesty.on her continental trip. /Orr. Bright, M.P., and Mrs. Bright have been stay ii tc; at Lochinver. Mr. Bright, though averse to the use of the gun, was seen enjoying a few days with the rod on the Inver. A desire was, we understand, entertained to invits the hon. gentleman to address a meeting in Aber deen; lout he declines meanwhile—so he has written to an English town—to give any public address. Lord Stanley of Alderley has arrived in town fro m _Ltd erley Park, Cheshire. The Countess (Doweger) Granville, Mr. and Lady G€ orgiana Fullerton, and the Hon. Frederick Leveson Gower, are staying at Worthing. We Lave to record the death of Captain J. F. Stirling, R.N., youngest son of the late Vice-Admiral Stirlini;, who died on Tuesday last, at Bath. Wr .3 regret to learn that Lieutenant-General Sir Hari . y Smith, G.C.8., bas been suddenly attacked by the complaint he recently suffered from, disease of the her irt, and we 1414011 t to say, it is feared that he cannot rerVPV,z. RUSSIA. Advices from St. Petersburg of the 3d inst. an nounce that the Emperor has sanctioned the forma tion of a new army of Cossacks, to be called the " Army of Cossacks of the River Amour." The organisation will be the same as that of, the Cos • sacks in Asia. • A corvette of the squadron, returning from the Amour, has exploded, at about 60 versts off Revel. It is said that only 30 men were saved. AMERICA. The following telegram have been received at Mr. Renter's office : QUEENSTOWN, THURSDAY. The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Company's steamer Glasgow, Capt. Thomson, from New York on the Ist inst., has arrived. She brings 220,000 dols. in specie. The Fulton, from Southampton, had arrived out Advices from Honduras to the 16th ult. state that the President was daily expected to attack Walker at Trusillo. The inhabitants of that town were leaving in alarm. Walker had raised the Federal Central American Flag, and contemplated uniting five of the States. The excitement in Texas relative to the Aboli tionists was increasing. The town of Mount Vernon was reported to have been destroyed by incendiaries. NEW YORK, AUG. 31, EVENING. The Money Market is quieter. Exchange on London is quoted 110 to 110 k. Stocks opened at an advance, but closed very dull. New York Centrals have declined t, Erie k, Illinois -7, and Michigan b. Cotton is quiet and unchanged. Flour is buoyant, and quotations have advanced 5c to 10c. Sales, 23,000 barrels. Indian corn is 3c to 4c dearer. Perk firmer. Sugar quiet. Freights firmer. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. The Hamburg and American Company's steamer Hammonia, Capt. Schwensen, from New York on the Ist inst., has arrived off Cowes. She brings 94 passengers for Hamburg, 7 for Southampton, and 265,800 dole. in specie for England. She spoke the following English vessels:—On the sth inst. the barque Royal William; on the Bth, the barque Courier ; on the 9th, the brig Lucy and the barque Clydeside ; on the 12th, the barque Fox; on the 13th, the steamer Cambrian. According to advices from San 'Francisco business was active. Every vessel in the port was engaged. Guaar diola, the President of Honduras, was to attack Walker, at Trusillo, on the 15th. Intense excitement prevailed in Northern and Southern Texas, owing to the incendiary acts of abolitionists. The destruction of property amounted to 3,000,000 dollars. . The TraltmeniteWcotnmercial. news has been prin cipally anticipated. The North German Lloyd's steamer, New York, Captain Von Santen, from New York, on the Ist inst., has-arrived off Cowes, en route for Bremen. She brings 120 passengers for Bremen, and 38 for Southampton. 233,500 dols. in specie for Havre, and 800 dols. for Bremen. Her news has been anticipated. 1)EATI1 OP 111. R. JARDEVE, THE BOTV- STREET MAGISTRATE. We announce with regret the death of Mr. D. Jardine, one of the stipendiary magistrates of Bow street Police Court. The deceased gentleman sat last Saturday until the close of the court at five o'clock in the afternoon in his usual health, and previous to his departure for his country resi dence, Weybridge, Surrey, he made arrange ments for attendance at the Office on the fol lowing Monday. Late on Sunday night, how ever, a telegraphic message was received at the Police-court, announcing his inability to attend on that day through illness, and Mr. Hall and Mr. Henry have since that time been in attendance. This morning the melancholy intel ligence was received that Mr. Jardine expired at six o'clock last evening, at the age of 69. The deceased gentleman was called to the bar in 1823, and previoui to his appointment to a seat on the bench at Bow-street, which post he honourably filled for 21 years, held the office of Recorder of Bath. In private life Mr. Jardine was beloved and respected by all who had the happiness of his friendship.

ROME, SEPT. 13. The Papal Government is about to address a memorandum to all the European Powers protest ing against the Sardinian invasion of the Roman territory. This memorandum explains that the enrolment of foreign volunteers, of which Sardinia complains in her ultimatum, was principally due to the counsels of Austria and France ; the latter Po-ver having after the Paris congress in 1856 insisted on the formation of a Papal army. VIENNA, SEPT. 13. A grand dinner was given by the Emperor at Schoenbraun on Tuesday last, in honour of the birthday of the Emperor of Russia, in return for a similar courtesy on the part of the latter Sove reign. All the members of the Imperial family at Vienna, the Grand Duke of Hesso Darmstadt, and the Russian ambassador, were present. The Emperor of Austria in very cordial terms proposed a toast in honour of the Emperor Alexan d3r 11. NAPLES, SEPT. 11. The tranquillity of the city has not been dis turbed, and the same enthusiasm still prevails. The Elmo and the other forts have surrendered. The English admiral has paid a visit to Garibaldi, who afterwards went on board the Hannibal, the English ambassador being present. On that occasion the Sardinian fleet fired a salute of 17 guns in honour of the Dictator. The Neapolitan fleet has been delivered by Gari baldi to the Sardinian admiral. The Sardinian troops disembarked yesterday by order of the Dictator. It is said that the King, in leaving Naples, ordered the bombardment of the town and the burning of the royal castle. It is even asserted that the ori ginal of that order has been found. A report is also current that the King will quit Gaeta with his army of 30,000 men, and will join General Lamoriciere. The King has formed a new Royalist Ministry, the members of which are—Caselli, Canofari, Gero lamo, and Ulloa. The Austrian, Russian, Prussian, and Spanish Ministers, and the Papal Nuncio, have followed the King to Gaeta. The whole army of Garibaldi will arrive at Naples in four days, and, with the insurrectional bands, the total force will be raised to 80,000 men. The revolution is everywhere triumphant. It is said that the Dictator is about to march to Umbria. The Bixio and Medici brigades have just arrived in the port. Baron Brenier bas not protested against the disembarkation of Sardinian troops. A proclamation of Garibaldi to the Neapolitans, issued yesterday, has been published. Garibaldi, in this proclamation, says that the an nexation will be effected when he will be able to proclaim it from the top of the Quirinal. TURIN, SEPT. 13. General Cialdini has entered Fano, making 300 prisoners. The Official Piedniontese Gazette pub lishes a royal decree appointing General Fan ti commander-in-chief of the two corps d'arnzee which have been mobilised. PARIS, SEPT. 13. The Patrie says : "It is asserted that Baron Talleyrand, the French Minister at Turin, is about to return to France. During his absence the affairs of the embassy will be administered by a charge d'affaires. " General Lamoriciere has concentrated his army, numbering 8,000 men, at Ancona. It is asserted that his lines of defence will be attacked by 45,000 Sardinian troops." The same journal announces that the King of Naples loft Gaeta on the 12th inst., on board a Spanish frigate, for Seville.

A letter from Naples of the Bth in the Steele says :—" The King, who for the last fortnight has not ceased to take everything he could lay his hands on, at last thought of leaving the place, and, in imitation of his cousin of Modena, packed up even the carpets of Capo di Monte and the renowned secret museum of the Kings of Naples ; he drew out large sums of money from the bank, and would even have removed the marble of his palaces if he could have done so. Tho population knew ail this, and saw all the things being removed without saying a word, thinking themselves only too happy in being rid of the Bourbons, no matter at what price. They well proved their aversion by removing all the royal mottoes and escutcheons from the shops and public establishments even while the Palace was still occupied. During this time three depu tations of the National Guard, and of the citizens representing the different classes of society, went In the name of the city to welcome the Dictator at Salerno. The King several days before had cleared out the arsenal at Portici, and distributed all the arms which it contained between Gaeta and Capua. With a view to reserving for himself or for his friends Lamoriciere and the Emperor of Austria large resources for the future, the King also WirSh6d, to carry away all the gunpowder in the LITERATURE. My Wanderings. Being travels in the East. By John Gadsby. It is now some time since we noticed favourably Mr. Gadsßy.4-book of--travels on its own intrinsic merits; and we are glad to learn that a new edition is announced, which cannot fail to add to his exten• sive and well-deserved popularity. Central India during the Rebellion of igs7 and 1858. By Thomas Lowe, M.R.C.S.E., L.A.C. Longman. - The Indian campaign is now 4 matter of history. While yet the subject:was new, books and narratives in endless variety poured forth, each and all con taining tales of sorrow and accounts of thrilling in terest, and the newspaper correspondents kept up a disjointed and critical history of the doings of the various British .columns engaged in steadily regain ing our Indian empire. But although the achieve ments of many of our gallant battalions have been expatiated upon by several authors, it appears that the successful and glorious doings of Generals Sir H. Rose and Sir C. Stuart have been unchronieled. It is for this reason that the author, who, as medical officer to the corpfi of Madras Sappers and Miners, accompanied the troops throughout the entire cam paign, was induced; at the suggestion of his friends, to publish the present volume. His narrative commences on board the transport Hibernia, which bore a company of the Madras Sappers and Miners back to their own presidency from the Persian frontier, enjoying in anticipation the joys of furlough, and a reunion with their fa milies, all which fairy castles were rudely dashed away, when the pilot coming on board an nounced the astounding intelligence of the Bengal mutiny. The corps were at once ordered up country to the scene of action, Mr. Lowe accompanying them as their surgeon and historian. How well he performed the former is shown by his description of events, which took place under the enemy's fire, or within the walls of cities at the time disputing possession with the troops, and which bear testimony of his presence to relieve the wounded. How the latter—the perusal of his nar rative will bear witness. There is nothing far fetched or overdrawn. The author has undertaker to write a history of the army under Sir Hugh Rose and Sir C. Stuart during its campaign in Central India, from his:personal observation there, and there fore no mention is made of the other portions of the British force. The pages are relieved at intervals from the matter-of-fact details of marches and coun ter marches,by the author's observations on the state of the country, and amusing little contretemps experienced at the crossing of rivers, where obsti nate horses and bullocks would swim half way over and then return, to the infinite discomfort of their drivers, and on the principle that " who drives fat cattle should himself be fat." Mr. Lowe, being attached to the Engineers, takes an interest in bridges, roads, &c., which he de scribes for the benefit of his readers. He has taken great interest in studying and exa mining the old ruins and cities met with in the line of march. At the city of Arungabaehv_paid a visit to the ruin of former greatness. After :the terrible scene of the morning parade, I strolled into the town of Arungabad, and afterwards paid a visit to the very beautiful Taj in its vicinity. The city, once extensive and beautiful, and still renowned, presents a truly marked picture of desolation, poverty, and fallen greatness. Like most large Hindu towps, little remains now to interest the sight seer, while there is much to dis gust and hasten his departure. Squalid poverty sits squatted in rags beneath many a time. worn, elaborately carved portico, through-which the proud and gaudy Mus selman once strode ; houses once inhabited by the wealthy Mahrattahs, are now fallen to ruin, their ornamental carvings alone remaining to show where opulence once dwelt ; mounds of ashes and filth lie in every street; chil dren scream at your presence, and astonished adults peer out of their miserable abodes upon you with lustreless eyes, while the Pariah dogs start from heaps of ashes, howl ing as they disappear among the gullies and huts of their owners. And - this is the city that once boasted of a college, that once gloried in a palace of immense size and of a monarch's presence, that once was surrounded by walls some seven miles in circumference, with its many gates I Little remains now of the ruined wall and its gateways, still less of the palace of the great Aurungzebe. The Pariah dog now barks in the sun by day, and the jackall prowls by night upon the very spot where this monarch's throne once stood. But there still remains in melancholy sadness a beautiful memorial of this ruler's splendour and taste—the Taj, or shrine built to tho memory of Aurung zebe's daughter. This stately tomb, like all other beau tiful works of ancient grandeur, is fast falling to decay * * * The gardens, the walks, the water, the stone-works, and the extensive wall surrounding all afar off, all in reckless beauty and decay, impress one. with no mean idea of the wealth, the exquisite taste, and the largeness of mind that once belonged to the ancestors of this wretched people. A short distance off is a triangle of j ungle-clad hills, rosy and purple, and from their heights flows the stream that yet supplies the basins and fountains of, the Taj with water, bubbling as it runs in mockery through the silent ruins. Though this beautiful memorial of love, a fitting monu ment of Aurungzobe's greatness and splendour, has out lasted his palace and kingdom, it is fast crumbling away beneath the feet of time. Wo go to Nineveh for their hide ous stone bulls, and to Greece for their marble gods, and we build a palace to exalt them—is it not almost to wor ship I—yet do we allow the bijoux of our own empire to pass into oblivion and dust I As I sat there pondering over such thoughts, an old Mussulman came into the verandah, spread his mat, and commenced smoking his hookah as calmly and abstractedly as though no other person was near him. He puffed away for some time without once noticing me, then quietly putting his pipe on one side, asked me if I had seen the Taj. I had, and I spoke of it in great praise. He simply bowed his head and stroked his beard. He then said, " God is good," and recom menced smoking more vehemently. Having claimed him self again, he said " Look 1 Kings die, dynasties change, the poor cry, the dead are disturbed, and their tombs tumble upon them I Allah is great and Mehemet is his prophet I These are sad days I" At this instant the sound of the bugle from camp broke upon the stillness. Ho looked up in a most imploring way, again stroked his beard, and consoled himself with his pipe. I offered him a rupee, but he said, " No ; I am an old man ; I don't want money, I want only to die in peace. The air of this place is very pure, and I come every day to smoke and pray." The capture of the fortress of Dhar was the first success of thilforce,and after explaining the various vicissitudes of the siege, the placing of batteries, and other details relating to the capture of the place and the search for treasure and plunder, the author conducts the reader to the presence of the infant Rajah of Dhar. Long before the Rajah made his appearance the Dewan (Chancellor of the Exchequer) came in. He was a middle aged man, and dressed from head to foot in spotles s white cloth. His head was well formed, he had lost the sight of one eye by cataract, his features were of a heavy Mah rattah stamp, and he wore silver spectacles. He appeared to me to be a compound of Hindu profundity and cunning: He was very quiet in manner and polite, and seemed in a very nervous state. He talked a good deal about political matters, seemed very anxious to entertain me in every pos sible way, expatiated on the long continued friendly rela tions of the State with the Government, and on the fine character of the late Rajah, whose likeness, admirably exe cuted by Carpenter, he took out of a case to show me. He dusted the glass very carefully, and then contemplated the picture in a profound meditation. A tear stole into his eye and over his cheek as he gazed upon it. The days had indeed changed 1 The departed Rajah had built the room wa then sat in, and evidently had done much to con fer an air of elegance and grace upon it, though now it was in a sad condition. If I say it was filthy I should convey but a faint idea of its state, for it seemed not only so, but in beggarly negli gence, too. English couches, and Parisian time -pieces, and tarnished mirrors, and elegantly-made chairs, and bureaus, and tables, and handsome carpets, huddled to gether in heaps, all covered with dust, lay here and there in sublime disorder and incipient ruin. One or two ga u dy coloured prints hung in frames from the walls, and over them the spider had spun his web. Not a clock told the hour of day, for they were all neglected and placed out of the perpendicular, and the glass shades covering them had acquired quite a hoary cap of dust. After an interview with the Rajah, an infant of some 10 or 11 years of age, and of a dull and sleepy disposition, the visitor departed, having been shown out by the uncle of the Rajah, who behaved most courteously. The author remarks that he has no thing to say of the merits or demerits politically of the case, but that it would appear that the ad visers of his Highness acted in some very unwise manner, if we are to judge by the bearing of the Governor-General's political agent towards them, for in a day or two after his visit the Old Dewan was sent a prisoner to Mhow. - The writer does justice to the bravery of the enemy, while he exe crates their barbarity, which is, after all, however atrocious it must seem to all Christian nations, but the barbarous cus tom of the people handed down to them from the remotest ages of antiquity ; and although justly punished with the utmost severity, is better accounted for when looked upon in this light : In chronicling the events of war it is scarcely just to recount the deeds of bravery performed by the conquering host alone. However vile our eneneyernay be, or however just the plea of warfare carried on to extermination against them one ought not to shrink from paying tribute to the brave, though they b 9 our foe. In the Rohillah one en counters an implacable antagonist. His life, his position, his faith, lead him to look upon death with cold and die, nitied indifference. He is a fatalist, and thus life or death are to him as one. It fate wills that he dies in the heat of battle, death has but unloaded him of his burden at his ourn ey's end, that he may enjoy th e best of rest — eternal l u xury and sleepy beatitude. To relate one little incident will suffice to show how these men face death and die upon the battle-field. In this encounter with the enemy and the Mahid nor Contingent, Dr. Orr , of the H yderabad Contingent, came up with one of the Rohillahs who was dressed in a ver y - a su perior manner. He was a fine fellow, and perhaps leader. He was requested to surrender,' this h e refuse d to do ; he was then told that unless he did so, death would assure dly be his portion. At this he scoffed and boldly defied deadlyt e o c c e s r n t fl o i s c t o , m w b h a t i c . h T h e h e m n a e r n f s u u l e l y d the ma i s n t t r a u i g n g ed l e for up life on f 0 ' n t till the cold sharp spear of his antagonist aon piercedised wither h i breast ; be then fell upon the field, cast a i s n r look acrossof a h s i t s i 11 eyes;un van a q h u d i s h d e d d spirit w i without Rohillah affects to despise death—hisoautnthias foe, gro s t n hr i ew ir_ h .h i e s m tkat to die thus is to enter at once • blest,. where every sensual pleasurein willto t h e faithh e s 1 of the him in undying s in arms, imbued with a pompous sunny ripeness.

I have seen him rush into the jaws of death as boldly as though the shackles of " age, ache, penury, and im prisonment" had just been loosed, and a career as free and boundless as the wild horses' were before him. Nor can we wonder at this, for Mahomet tells them in his Koran, " the sword is the key of heaven and hell. A drop of blood shed in the cause of God, or ono night spent in arms, is of more avail than two months in fasting and prayer. Whoever falls in battle, his sons are forgiven; at the day of judgment his wo unos s h a ll b e resp l en d en t as vermilion; and odorous as musk ; and the loss of his limbs shall be replaced by the wings of angels and cherubim l" It is curious to observe that the bulk of an Indian army is composed of hangers-on or followers, the regular troops forming the minority. Among these the women and children are very numerous, in fact the author doctor, though he cannot ac count for the extraordinary and rapid increase of this commodity, remarks that, " A force may march out for the field with only a slight sprink ling of native women with them, such as the wives of horsekeepers, milk-women, &c., &c., but e'er long more and more women and children appear, and by and bye on either flank of the force there is a brigade of women riding tattoos astride, and chattering like pthots." The milk-women are extraordinary beings, they supply the troops with milk obtained, how or from what source, it is impossible to explain. Lieut. Dickens, of the 31st Bengal, N. 1., on being interrogated as to the rea son of the loyalty of that,regiment, remarked to the author, " that the only reason he could give was the fact that the officers perhaps under stood their men better than others," and went on to state that notwithstanding the many temptations held out to them and the taunts of mutinous agents, they had be haved as well as meh could be expected to do. He was an excellent linguist, and appeared to be tho roughly acquainted with the native character, and the native officers appreciated his. The several actions in which Sir Hugh Rose was engaged are well and minutely described, until the successful termination of that eventful campaign which re sulted in the subjugation of Central India. Mr. Lowe's book will be none the less acceptable that it appears after the first blush of Indian literature has subsided. It has now an open field, and we wish it success. EXTRAORDINARY _RELATIONSHIP. MARSHAL M'MAHON'S AUNT. An extraordinary relationship is announced to the curious in genealogies through the particularly , flowery Address accompanying the presentation of the Irish Sword to Marshal M'Mtalon, Duke of Magenta—namely, that Imperial Francb herself is Marshal M‘Mahon's Aunt! In the midst of a flood of similar eloquence the Address goes on to . observe :—" To-day Irelandpro claims with the just pride of a mother that you, the heroic descendant of one of her greate3t monarchs, have added a new brilliancy to the glory of our nation, on the smoking towers of the Malakaff, and on the ever-memorable plains of Magenta." . : And a little further on in the Address it is added— "lreland is, then, proud to recognise in you the valiant chief of Irish blood, whose military genius has maintained unstained the flag of victorious France—that noble nation, the sister of our own." Q. E. D. Ireland being the mother of Marshal M'Mahon, and France the sister of lreland—France must be, can't help being, Marshal M'Mahon's -dun& BOURBON MEAN N ESS. A correspondent of a contemporary communicates the following fact :—More than anything that has yet happened, it illustrates the treachery and mean ness of the last of the Neapolitan Bourbons. Dur ing the journey between Reggio and Naples, a mes senger was stopped bringing fresh proposals from the King to Garibaldi. They were to the following effect : That if Garibaldi ceased from further attacks on the continental dominions of King Francis, he would be allowed freely to pass through them in order to attack the States of the Pope ; that the Garibal dian forces would be supplied with provisions by the King during the whole of their march; that a sum of 3,000,000 ducats would be immediately paid to . Garibaldi from the_ Royal treasury, and that a contingent of 50,000 men would be contibuted by Naples to the Italian army in the event of a war with Austria. Really, in the lowest depths of degra dation of these Neapolitan Bourbons there is a still lower deep. Call you that " backing of your friends," King Francis ? These proposals are at this moment in Garibaldi's hands, and will be pub lished without delay. Tomorrow the festival of the " Madonna di Pie di Grotta," always celebrated on Sept. 8, will take place ; but it is Garibaldi, and not King Francis, who will be present at the ceremony. SUBMARINE TBLEGRAPRY. Communications continue to be received on the subject of submarine telegraphy, but discussion is of little use while the views of the Government as to the proper mode of dealing with it remain un changed. Among other correspondents Mr. Thomas Allan furnishes a useful history of the refusal of the Treasury a year or two back to "entertain" the pro posals of an independent company for a compara tively inexpensive line to Gibraltar and Malta, and of the announcement six days afterwards of their determination to lay down a cable themselves, and to employ Mr. Lionel Gisborne for the under taking—a conclusion which has resulted in the manufacture of the cable at an enormous outlay, and its being apparently found unfit for its purpose. Another writer, Mr. Joseph Rogers, with regard to a patent of his own, which seems to possess recom mendations on the score of economy as well as efficiency, observes as follows : "After Making many lengths of my cable for Messrs. Gisborne and Fords, the Government engineers, who ex pressed it as being the best hempen cable ever made, I can not but be surprised that I was not examined under the commission, the objects of which my long practical expe rience would have much assisted. But Mr. Lionel Gis borne informed me that he was so prejudiced in favour of iron that there would be little chance of my cable being adopted." Under the circumstances all that the public desire is to be assured that in nominating Messrs. Gis borne and Forde to deal with the enormous outlay already incurred on submarine lines, and to have the power of crushin g or a pp rov i ng a t pl easure th e claims of other projectors, the Government acted upon substantial proof of the scientific merits and experience of these gentlemen. To furnish this proof cannot be a matter of difficulty. Messrs. Gisborne and Forde, it is believed, were not known tither to the public or the Government until the Darien expedition of 1853, to which Lord Palmer ston lately alluded in the House of Commons. An official report of that expedition was made to the Government by Commander Prevost. It is upon this report the Treasury must be presumed to have acted when they selected Messsrs. Gisborne and Forde as the persons to be placed at the head of the telegraphic engineers of Great Britain. But they resolutely abstain from pro. ducing it. There is no reason, however, to _sup, pose that it has been lost, because the present Ca binet, when they recently renewed the appointment which was originally made by Lord Derby, must, it may fairly be inferred, have referred to a docu ment having a bearing so important on the pro priety of their choice. Perhaps, on the reassem bling of Parliament in 1861, the objections to its production may be overcome. Meanwhile, the commercial, financial, and scientific public, who have now come to look on submarine telegraphy as one of the most vital questions of the ag e, must remain content, and q u i et l y assume that the Go vernment are not only perfectly satisfied, but that they possess the means in due time of justifying that satisfaction.— I imes' City Article.
