The report of Count CAVOUR. of which a brief summary bas reached us, has at least the merit of frankness on the three leading points on which public attention has of late been fixed—Venetia, Rome, and the misunderstanding with GARIBALDI. Hardly anything can be said to be added to our previous knowledge of the Count's views, on any of these subjects, but we have them now not inci dentally, or by inference, but in an authentic form. Some spirited debating, is likely to follow, for there will doubtless be advocates of the bolder policy in the Sardinian Chamber ; but the Count's views are almost certain to be shared by a large majority of the Deputies, who are informed that they are convened for the special purpose of pro nouncing on the policy of the present Ministry. The business done by the Chambers on their first meeting marks out the policy popular with them. The project of law presented, and received with loud cheers, was to enable the Government to complete the annexation of those provinces of Northern and Cen tral which should, by direct and universal suf frage, freely express their wish to form "an integral part of our constitutional monarchy." Sardinia, therefore, holds out her right hand to all the provinces which are now free to act as they please, and we shall soon see whether their wishes on the subject are strong enough to induce them to move. In Central Italy the KING has no one to obstruct him. FANTI and CIALDINI, not GARIBALDI, are omnipotent there; and it is pro bable that the Marches and Umbria, and and perhaps districts nearer Rome, will avail them selves promptly of the Sardinian offer. They all lie, too, next door to Tuscany and the Legations, which already form part of the Piedmontese monarchy. The populations freed from oppression are assured, however, that their independence will be respected —we presume this means their inde pendence in regard to voting annexation, since the kind of annexation offered is that of becoming " an integral part" of the Sardinian monarchy. The reason assigned for not interfering with Venetia, is that which the Count has before given. Not that it would be wrong, or a violation of Treaties, as Lord JoIIN RUSSELL tells him ; not even that FANTI and GARIBALDI could not drive out the Austrians, if he let them ; but that e almost" all the European Powers unanimously wish the unfortunate Venetians to be left in their misery, or Austria to be undisturbed in her oppression, and that it would raise up a formidable European Coalition against Sardinia. We do not know whether the Count has his eye on Warsaw, and o n the un-English and Austrianising letter of our Foreign Secretary ; we should think, however, that it is to these he alludes, as justifying him in expecting such a movement. Let him be assured that no e interests we have in the Adriatic" would induce E ng l an d to fire a shot, if Sardinia an d GARIBALDI should initiate a movement which would S trip Austria of her entire Adriatic from Italycoast , t o Turkey itself. The whole has been acquired by wrong, and it is used for no good to the inhabitants, or to any one in the world besides. Nuthing would please England better than to see Hungary as an independent kingdom resume the seacoast she once had on the gulf, and recommence that free trade with all the world,which gleamed on her, like a moment's sun- shine amid clouds, during the KOSSUTH adminstra- We must agree altagetherwith the Count, so far as we in this country can judge ; indeed we have said the same thing already—that " constituting a strong Italy is serving the cause of Venetia." It will do so in every way. If Italy be seen united and pros - pering under VICTOR EMMANUEL discontent in Venetia must grow every hour ; with inereasing discontent it must become more and more costly for Austria to keep the province down, and more and more difficult to govern it. The pressure on the poverty of the Austrian Exchequer and on her military resources, must then become so great that she will be driven to accept a settlement or a war. The former would recruit her finances, and, practically, almost double her army ; the latter would be certain, if Italy were strong, to ruin both. GAP,IBALDI'S plan is the nobler and the more fascinating; and, though we can hardly think so, he may have information which justifies him in preferring it. But the Count's pro posal to make Italy strong before more is attempted, is the surer, and as we are at present advised, in our judgment, the better way. Respecting Rome, the Count speaks in very strong terms of the gratitude due from the Italians to the French, and refers to it as a question which cannot be settled by the sword alone—as " presenting moral obstacles which moral force alone can vanquish." This may be very proper language for a Minister whose Go vernment, after all, has gained so immensely by the French alliance, granting that French inter vention was not merely for an idea. Still it does not excuse the French. They have no right but the right of might in Rome. They are there in viola tion of the most elementary rights of the inhabi tants. It might be unbecoming for the King of SARDINIA to attack, were it of any use, a power to which he is so largely indebted, but it is disgraceful for the French to coerce half a million Italians to bow their necks to a priest, just because they have bayonets and artillery enough to enable them to do it. The pretence about the Papacy, is palpably but a pre text. The POPE himself denies that his spiritual supremacy would fall with his temporal sway ; and it is notorious that it could not. The King of SARDINIA is himself a Catholic, and would take good care of the Bishop of his Capital, if he were Chief Bishop of Papal Christendom also ; and the Catholic Powers would see to it that his indepen dence was as perfect as it now can be. The terms in which CAVOUR speaks of GARI BALDI as a political opponent will give pleasure to all. We hope GARIBALDI himself will fully respond to this English and constitu tional way of regarding our great poli tical rivals ; indeed his late proceedings at Naples seem to show that he is already approach ing to harmony of action with the Count; and the late victory of his troops over the KING'S troops will, we trust, rather encourage him to union with CAVOUR than otherwise. He will not seem to be driven to it by reverses. The interchange of sympathies during this past week between the City of Glasgow and the ex- Chancellor Lord BROUGHAM must, assuredly, have been a source of intense mutual gratification. Nor have the graceful speeches addressed to the citizens of Glasgow by Lord BROUGHAM—nor yet, again, have the enthusiastic acclamations with which not only those speeches severally have been welcomed by the Glasgow citizens, but by which the latter have hailed every separate occasion of Lord BROUGHAM'S appearance among them—been simply complimentary. There is a sterling good sense about the thrifty, industrious, and enlightened population of the mercantile metropolis of Scot land, that effectually serves to guard them from the risk of lapsing into any such empty, frivolous, and utterly valueless demonstrations. Beyond which, the venerable recipient of these honours is the very last man who would be disposed to tolerate, with even an amiable affectation of complacency, mere vapid displays of puerile flattery, or meaningless adulation. The kindly greetings of Lord BROUGHAM to his philosophic associates in the Social Science Congress, to the honest working men gathered together in the City Hall of Glasgow, and to the convivial throng assembled in the same hall on Friday, the 28th ult., under the noble and learned lord's chairmanship, have each and all of them especial value and their peculiar significance. And so, too, has it been, on the other hand, with regard to those ringing responsive accla mations. They have been the ardent inti mations addressed by assembled thousands to Lord BROUGHAM, that his beneficent and lifelong labours for the diffusion of knowledge among the masses, and for the advancement of in terests of national education as far as might be in any way practicable independently of the Govern ment, have been watchfully observed, have been fervently appreciated, have been and still are most gratefully borne in the popular remembrance. The proceedings of this last week at Glasgow in con nection with the renewal for yet another year of the periodical labours of the Social Science Asso ciation, but particularly in connection with the welcome personally accorded to the illustrious and venerable man who is its Originator and its President —are fraught throughout, therefore, with auguries of the happiest encouragement ! Auguries of good omen for the especial interests and ambition of the Congress itself —portents of the most auspicious character for the wider and more generalised inte rests of tge social advancement of the entire popu lation ! Is it not suggestive, for example, as a re minder of the abundant reasons possessed by us here in this country for gratitude in our position as a nation—the startling contrast presented to view by the state of things during the past week, in ITALY and in ENGLAND ? Amongst ourselves, what has been the spec tacle ? Parliament scattered for the annual repose of the long vacation for the interval of rest dividing the autumnal prorogation from the spring reassembling of the Lords and Commons. The professional labours of the year no less than its political labours either relaxed or altogether interrupted. The well-to-do, comprising a considerable proportion of the middle classes, to gether with the whole of the upper ten thousand— scattered far and wide like the members, generally, of both Houses of the Legislature, in search of health and recreation. The mercantile towns and seaports still droning on monotonously as the cease less hives of industry and enterprise. The country itself —picturesque with the toils of harvest—the last remnants of happily not unabandant crops, being hurriedly gathered in during the sparse in tervals of fine weather, chequering the rainy resi due of this humid year of 1860. The Volunteer corps, to the number altogether of some 150,000 skilled riflemen, still steadily perfecting their dis cipline and general efficiency as a National Guard in all parts of these happy and favoured islands, in termittently with the sports of leisure and the toils H of industrial occupation. These have been the conspicuous features of the spectacle presented to view throughout the bulk of the population of Great Britain, while, crowning the whole pacific spectacle, yonder at Glasgow, the Social Science Congress has been earnestly prosecuting its annual labours under the presidency of that noble and learned " guide, philosopher, and friend," whose apparition there, in that Scottish Liverpool and Birmingham united, has been the signal for these resounding acclamations. And, meanwhile, far away yonder in the south, how has it been with our Italian contemporaries ? There the toils of agriculture and commerce have been altogether, in a great measure, suspended. So, too, has it been there with the accustomed labours of art, and science, and literature. So, likewise, even with the loftiest enterpri s es of Italian statesmanship. Everything there has been delegated to the supreme arbitrament of the sword. All are fighting, or are preparing to fight yonder for the life and for the death, from north to south, from the shores of the Adriatic to those of the Mediterranean, The striking nature of the contrast which we have been here reverting to is yet further signalised upon the instant by reference to the convivial, genial, humorous, delightful speeches delivered by the various guests at the Glasgow Banquet of Fri day evening—and comparing them with the terse and solemn and heart-stirring telegrams flashing to us all the while from different parts of the Roman Peninsula. The arrival of the Sardinian SOVEREIGN at Bologna—the hurried movements of GARIBALDI hither and thither along the flanks of the Neapolitan army—the fierce strife at Capua (that name of evil omen !)—the bombardment, and final capitulation of Aucona—Piedmont waiting for the final triumphs that are to crown all these past suc cesses of his Re Galantuonto—Venice tarrying eagerly the while for the long looked-for signal of her own emancipation. Contrasting thus widely, though they do, these contemporaneous careers of Italy and England— contrasting as widely as the labours of a Glasgow and of a BROUGHAM—they are, nevertheless, cha racterised by the same intimate blending, by the same virtual unity, so to speak, of all their loftier and profounder sympathies. IRON-CASED SHIPS OF WAR. LATEST SEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr, Reuter's office : TURIN, OCT. 3. The following is a summary of the Ministerial report read by Count Cavour on the occasion of the opening of the Sardinian Chambers yesterday : After having recalled the happy results obtained by the Cabinet during the last few months, the Ministerial report thus continued : " Henceforth, Italy, with the exception of Venetia, is free. As regards the latter province we cannot make war upon Austria against the almost unanimous wish of the European Powers. Such an enterprise would create a formidable coalition against Italy. But in constituting a strong Italy we are serving the cause of Venetia. These reasons also impose upon us the duty of re specting Rome. The question of Rome cannot be decided by the sword alone. It meets with moral obstacles, which moral force alone can vanquish. The Ministerial report, in speaking of the ru moured possiblity of a collision with Fradce at Rome, says, " An act of ingratitude so monstrous would brand our country with a deep disgrace such as centuries - of suffering could not obliterate. Whatever populations may be freed from oppres sion, their independence will be respected. The Ministerial report concludes as follows : Parliament has been convoked in order to pro nounce whether the present Ministry still enjoys its confidence. " This is so much the more neces sary as a voice, which is with reason dear to the people, has manifested its distrust of us to the Crown and the country. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 26. Ali Pasha has formally denied having stated to the Austrian charge d'affaires that he had proofs of Sir Henry Bulwer having conspired against the Sultan, a story which he declared to be utterly absurd and untrue. The Grand Vizier has been suddenly recalled by the Sultan. He is expected to arrive in Constantinople on the 29th inst. Another Minister has been sent to complete his mission. In Syria Fuad Pasha and the French general are to act in concert against the Drases. Prince Couza is expected to arrive at Constanti nople on the 2d proximo. The Persian ambassa dor to London leaves to-morrow in the Banshee for Malta. BERLIN, TUESDAY. The Spanish Government has addressed to the different powers a note supporting the protest issued by the King of Naples, when retiring to THE j SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1860! TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—The consideration of our present means of naval attack and defence involves questions of press ing importance, and in the hope of rendering some assistance in forming correct conclusions I offer a few observations upon the subject. While I agree with much that was contained in the letter addressed to you by Captain Halsted, I think that his opinions are based chiefly on those trials at which he was present, when the armour plates were successful in repelling cannon shot. As I have only been present at trials where the pro jectiles have invariably penetrated the armour plates, I have arrived at a different general conclu sion. Captain Halsted appears to have made a mis take in applying the results of the experiments which he witnessed to others at which he was not present. Having stated that at 400 yards the Armstrong gun failed to make an impression on the Trusty, he concludes that the Whitworth 80- pounder would not succeed at a like range ; whereas the fact is that in October, 1858, my 681 b. projec tile, fired from a distance of 450 yards, penetrated through the 4-inch armour plate and the sides of the Alfred and entered into the ship. For a statement of what were really the results of the trials of my 80-pounder against the Trusty in May last I would refer to the account given in the Times of May 28, written, I believe, by your " own correspondent," who witnessed them. The Carnation gunboat, from which the gun was fired, was anchored at the short range of 200 yards, because it was blowing " half a gale," and the roll ing of the boat rendered it difficult and unsafe to take aim from a greater distance—unsafe for this reason. It had been proved, by experiments made on board the Excellent in December, 1857, that my fiat-fronted projectiles passed through 30 feet of water and still retained great penetrating power. When I made a request to be allowed to fire at the Trusty's armour plate below her water line my pro position was declinel, and it was not thought ad visable, considering the rough state of the weather, to run the risk of the experiment being involun tarily tried by an accidental low shot of the gunner who was one of the Excellent's best marksmen. In Captain Halsted's letter he speaks of " only three Whitworth shots taking effect" on the Trusty's side. He omits mention of another shot which struck a sound plate fixed over a porthole and strengthened at the back with beams of solid timber of such thickness and so firmly fastened with large iron belts that it formed apparently the strongest part of the ship's side. This shot "pierced through the centre of a plate and into the main deck of the ship, driving before it a mass of splinters and an immense iron bolt, which, from the position in which it was found among the fragments of wood on the main deck, had evidently been dashed through and whirled about with a force only infe rior to that of the projectile itself."—(Vide the limes, May 28.) Only five shots in all were fired from my gun on the occasion referred to; of these one shot, owing to the rolling of the gunboat, went over the Trusty; four hit her sides, and every one of them went through her plates. Two, which struck directly "end on," entered into the ship; two, which struck obliquely, after penetrating through the armour plate, buried themselves in the ship's side. I will not here dwell on what would have been the effect had the rear end of these projectiles been made as shells, which I certainly believe may be done with out destroying their penetrating power. If it be asked why only five shots were fired from my gun, the answer is simply that the experiments were made at the request and in the presence of the Lords of the Admiralty. They, with the First Lord himself, went on board the Trusty, and personally examined the effects of the shots. As all that hit the plates went through them the results were consi dered conclusive, and more experiments being then deemed unnecessary, they were ordered to be dis• continued. There is no doubt but that ships may be built which are proof against ordinary shot, but my expe rience leads me to believe that the penetration of armour plates is a question of firing against them a projectile under the proper combined conditions; these are, that it shall be of the proper shape, ma terial, and weight, and have the requisite velocity. A flat-fronted projectile of properly hardened ma terial, and weighing less than an ounce, fired from one of my ordinary rifles, will penetrate wrought iron plates 6.loths of an inch thick. Again, plates 4 inches thick are penetrated by the 801 b. projec tiles, and I have no doubt but that 6-inch plates would be penetrated by heavier projectiles with a more powerful gun. Increased thickness of plate, then, is to be overcome by increased power of gun ; and the question is, in which case will the capabi lity of increase sooner reach its limits ? Ships which are hampered by the weight of enor mous plates are so overburdened that they are unfit to carry a broadside of guns heavy enough to pene trate the armour of vessels plated similarly to them selves. Again, a ship constructed to carry very thick plates cannot be driven at the high speed which must hereafter give the superiority in naval war fare. remains eh t t n he a c tn o ie nsi e d a e n ra h ti e o s n t oefndcousrte. the is t i r l u e e r t e h yt a e t the richest drain of costly equipments, and therefore cheap warfare would be a disadvantage; but it is also true that naval casualties and mishaps must be cal culated upon, and it would be bad policy to concen trate too large an outlay upon a single vessel. It will be for naval authorities to consider the position in which the large heavily-plated yet still vulnerable ship would be placed if attacked by several smaller and far swifter vessels, each carry ing a few powerful guns, and able to choase its distance for striking an enemy which presents so large a target. What would be the result of firing fiat-fronted shots at her plates below the, water line, or of their concentrated fire directed upon the axis of her screw—a mark that might be hit at a considerable distance ? The plan of warding cffshot by protecting armour has been often resorted to, but the means of attack have continually proved the vulnerability of the armour and driven it out oflISe• It has to be shown whether this will be the case with our ships of war, and I fully concur in the opinion expressed in your paper, that the best and speediest mode of arriving at a right decision is to give full publicity to the results of properly conducted experiments. I remain, Sir, yours very obediently, JOSEPH WHITWORTH. Manchester, Sept. 28. FRESH HOSTILITIES AT MESSINA. The following is an extract from a letter, dated Messina, September 25 :—On Sunday last, about four p.m. there was a most lively fire of musketry between the Neapolitan and Sicilian outposts. The Royalists tried to enter the town, and a column of 500 soldiers had already advanced under the wall of the first houses of the Terranuova, when, attacked by the Garibaldians, they were compelled to retire into the citadel, leaving three killed and several wounded on the ground. Only one of the Gari baldians was wounded. The citadel then opened fire with shot and shell upon the town. Many of the shells burst in several parts of the town, but without doing serious damage. On Monday, there was more musketry firing, which was maintained very briskly on both sides for about 40 minutes. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, firing com menced anew, and lasted ten minutes. At eleven it was commenced again, but this time it was not restricted to mere musketry. The citadel took part, and fired shot, shell, and grape in all direc- tions. This affair lasted for about an hour and a half. Later the English and French Consuls, with the respective naval commanders of the English and French ships in port, proceeded to the citadel to put a stop to the firing, and the Neapolitan gene ral promised that he would not again fire on the town. We shall see whether he will keep his pro mise. FRANCE.

A letter from Trieste says : " Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian is displaying the greatest energy in providing for the safety of our coast. As the Duke resides in Miramar, which is an hour's journey from this, a telegraphic line has been established from his residence to the port, so that he can be momentarily informed of any event. Many of the vessels of the Austrian squad ron are already at Lissa. The port of Lissa is most favourably situated for naval operations, and capa ble of holding any sized fleet, with a narrow en trance defended by heavy batteries. Lissa com mands the Dalmatian coast, the entrances into the Quarnero, and the Gulf of Trieste." A letter from Verona, in the Allgemeine Zeitung, states that great activity prevails there. No less than 800 carts are daily employed conveying mate rials for the fortifications and ammunition. A letter from Berlin repeats the rumour that ne gotiations are on foot between Austria and Bavaria for the occupation of Tyrol by Bavarian troops, in case of a war in Italy. The voyage of General Schmerling to Munich is said to be in connexion with the negotiation. THE BRAZILIAN MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 2.

COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH FRANCE.--S 0 far as can at present be ascertained the new French tariff for iron and its manufactures has been received with satisfaction by the trade. Its great feature is the placing a ll rolled iron, irrespective of size or quality, on one uniform duty ractica of 70f. per 1,000 kilogrammes, £2 16s. 6d. per ton , and plly including hoop iron on the same terms. This is an immense advance in simplification on the old tariff, and although 70f. per kilogrammes will shut out in orninary times railroed and cheap common bar iron, yet it is thought we shall, after a butter knowledge of the French re luirements, send our superior qualities and extra small sizes for consumption into the littoral ports of France. At present the decree has caused no alteration in prices on this side, the stocks and paucity of orders being felt seriously by the makers through out the country. Gaeta. The Spanish note recalls that by the treaty of the quadruple alliance of 1718 the kingdom of the Two Sicilies had been ceded by Austria to the Spanish Bourbons. This cession was afterwards confirmed by the treaty of Vienna. The article 114 of the final act of Vienna having, under the guarantee of Europe, again sanctioned these stipu lations, the Spanish Government considers it its duty to maintain in the most formal manner the rights of a member of the august family of Spain, and to raise every opposition against the flagrant violation of solemn arrangements.

TURIN, OCT. 2. The reported entry of Sardinian troops into the kingdom of Naples is without foundation. The rumour that the Pope had taken his depar ture from Rome is also unfounded.

TIIEATR rcAL AGEE !UV:AIX- LEOTARD'S CA AS'E. The affair of Leotard, the celebrated gymnastic performer, and M. Dejean, Direct:Jr of the Cirque, of which some account has already been given, has just come on before the Tribunal of Commerce, and excited considerable interest. M. Dejeau brought an action against the performer, to obtain damages for having violated his agreement, and to compel him to execute it in future. M. Dejean, by his ad vocate, stated that in July last he contracted with Leotard's father (Leotard himself being then under age) for three months' representations of the young man at the Cirque at 5,200 fr. a month, subject to the condition that he should conform to the rules of the establishment, and wear the same uniform as other performers. Young Leotard appeared in November and obtained ex traordinary success. in consequence, on tho 22d of that month, M. Dejean signed with him and his father a new engagement to perform at the - - cirque for a year, beginning on the Ist February, at 3,000 francs a month. The agreement, among other things, contained these stipulations . "Art. 3. MM. Leotard, father and son, under take to assist in the details of the service, and, as is usual in equestrian companies, to aid in preparing the ring, to put on the uniform which shall be given to them, and to attend any repre sentation useful to the service of the Circus. Art. 6. They cannot, under any pretext, not even in paying the price of places, enter, in the course of the performances, in any other part of the theatre than that designated by the director, under pain of the fine of a quarter of the month's salary for each offence. Art. 7. In case of malady, the per former is bound to remain constantly at home." But, notwithstanding these conditions, young Leo tard had refused to put on the uniform, because he said it was a sort of livery, and a performer of his merit ought not to be expected to wear one. The costume in question, however, consisted of a blue coat, with blue trousers in summer and white in winter, and was quite distinct from the dress of the grooms, which was a livery. The most emi nent performers of the Cirque had all worn the costume without hesitation. Franconi himself had done so, and so did Leotard's father. Why, then, should he refuse P There could be no other reason than that he was puffed up with his success, and considered himself altogether *wrier to others. He also desired to be seen only in the tight-fitting web-dress, which showed his figure perfectly. That such was the case was proved by the fact that in his " Memoirs," which he had published, he said, among other things, "All writers on Greece maintain that the men there were more handsome than the women, and they were so because they showed. a great part of the human figure as nature had made it." In addition to the refusal to wear the costume, Leotard had, in the evening of the 11th September seated him self among the spectators in the first places, and when summoned by a commissary of police to withdraw, had declared that he would not perform that night or the next one. He had, however, exhibited that evening, but the next day he sent to say that he was ill and would not appear at night. The physician of the Cirque was sent to examine I him, but he was not at home, and his mother said that he had gone out for a walk. When after a while ho returned, the physician found that he was not incapable of performing. He had thus undoubtedly violated his engagement. And yet, in addition to the large salary paid him, M. Dejean had treated him with marked kindness ; he, had, for example, given him what are called "gratifications" amount ing to 7,250 f., though by his agreement he might, on certain conditions, send him to perform abroad, he had only made him go to Berlin, and not to Lon don, notwithstanding there was such great curiosity to see him there that, as Leotard himself said, an offer of 160,000 f. had been made for six- months' performances ; finally, although the agreement for bade him performing anywhere without M. Dejean's consent, he had without consulting that gentleman given a representation for the deaf and dumb, and on the Emperor's fete had proposed to the Prefect of the Seine to fly across the river from trapeze to tra peze. The advocate concluded by insisting that what Dejean prayed for must be granted.—The advocate of M. Leotard, in reply, began by complaining that M. Dejean had done a very unworthy act by endea vouring to cast ridicule on the young man, and so injuring him in public estimation. If Leotard had been somewhat dazzled by his success, M. Dejean himself was to blame, for he had done all he could to make the journals praise him, and to fix on him the attention of the public. The learned gentleman then weat on to allege that the action was a piece of ven&ance on the part of M. Dejean, because Leotard had refused to renew his engage ment with him from February, 1861. In spite of that refusal, M. Dejeau had spread the report that the engagement had been prolonged, and as that was calculated to injure Leotard, by pre venting him from obtaining 'appointments else where, he had contradicted the assertion in the theatrical journals of the 11th September. That had irritated M. Dejean, and was the real cause of the action. The reasons assigned in support of the suit were mere pretexts. What could it matter whether Leotard did or did not wear the same uniform as the other performers ? The whole affair was a perfect piece of puerility, and should never have been made the subject of an action. Yet Leotard had good reason for refusing to put on the uniform. His performances were dangerous, and required great calm and presence of mind ; and could he be fit to go through such rough work if he were made to hold a hoop for a female performer to jump through, or to be kicked by a Blown, or to arrange the sawdust in the circus ? That the eques trian performers were required to do such things was well and good ; but Leotard was not a circus rider, he was the son of a man who possessed considerable property, as well as an immense gymnastic estab lishment at Toulouse, admitted to be one of the most complete in the whole world. Leotard knew nothing of performances in public when M. De , jean, having heard of his extraordinary powers, had gone to Toulouse and tempted him to appear in public. As to M. Dejean's showing kindness in keeping Leotard in Paris, that was one of the points of which this latter complained most par ticularly. In the engagement entered into be tween the parties, it was stipulated that, if Leo tard were sent to any foreign country, he should have one-half of the sum paid for him over and above the 3,000 f. a month. For the time he per formed at Berlin he had that advantage, and con sequently gained considerably more money, but since then M. Dejean, seeing that he drew such immense houses in Paris, had refused to allow him to go anywhere else, and, of course, the additional income which Leotard expected was not forthcoming. Moreover, with respect to the uni form, the court had twice laid down that an actor engaged to perform leading parts could not, even if so stipulated in a printed agree ment, be made to figure as a mere super numerary ; and the - counsel contended that those judgments were applicable to Leotard's case. As to his having seated himself among the spectators, he was no doubt wrong, seeing that he had accepted the engagement not to do so —but would it not have been right to have re quested him politely to come away, instead of, as had been done, sending a commissary of police, who removed him by force ? With regard to his ill ness, was it surprising that he required repose after performing for ten months ? And during these ten months he had brought to M, Dejean the large sum of 400,000 francs, and yet Dejean re fused him a few days' rest ! The advocate con cluded by declaring that the action was so puerile that it was not worthy to occupy the attention of justice, and ought to be dismissed. The tribunal held that Leotard had violated his agreement, and it therefore condemned him to pay I,ooofr. da mages for having refused to put on the uniform, and 750 fr. for having seated himself among the public; also to resume his services at the Cirque and wear the uniform, under pain of paying 300 fr. for each night's refusal for two months, after which the tribunal will decide what was further to be done ; likewise, not to sit_ again among the public under the penalty of 7oof. for each offence; and, lastly, to pay all the costs. new wesrni!eTwl SL A hundredND . yards Th to e ri outer harbour at N E W HARBO B tr a lt r nt A is T land l3 tj ( a t of the railway company's pier), commf ago at an yearsenced by the ma gistrates of t h a t little borough a couple o es ti ma t e d cost of about £ lO,OOO, now a pp roac hes comple tion,d towards the close of the present and will ,be opened yidneotacorc.wulhpti which s immediately itoeopens, a 1 towit with the which south t willo f tfho forme I harbour, ad sheltered wards of 20 acres in extent. The outer harbour is enclosed on the east side by a massive stone pier or quay, running out in a south - westerly direction : and on the west byanew breakwater, extending about 600 feet south- eas t from the further end of the island, and by the island itself, which, in its turn, is connected with th e s h ore, as our readers may be aware, by a rough dyke, said to have been constructed by Oliver Croxiwell, and in latter days partly boarded over by a wooden gangway. The new harbour thus forms a sort of a triangle, of which the old pier is tho base. Ihe depth of w;_ter will be about 20 feet in spring and 14 feat in neap tides, so that it will accommodate vessels of very considerable size, and must prove not only useful but absolutely necessary for the rapidly inc-easing foreign trade of the port. Buratislaud, as the terminus in Fife of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, which passeS through the extensive coal and iron districts of that county, is, apart from its growing attractiveness as a place of sum mer resort, steadily acquiring importance by the facilities which it possesses for the sale of those products. On Satur day, while the pier, island, and breakwater were covered with spectators wat thing the boat-races, some 15 or 16 foreign vessels, chiefly Danish and German, were being loaded with coal and iron in the inner harbour, which, we understand, frequently contains a still larger number. The new harbour works are being executed by Mr, Chalmers, contractor, Dunfermline. —,S'evtsinan. POLICE INTE. BOW STREET. RING STEALING.—Two young men, named Roberts and Williams, were placed at the bar, charged with stealing a gold ring from the shop of Mr. Cording, jeweller, Strand. John Scott said he was an assistant to Mr. Cording. Between five and six o'clock last night, both prisoners en tered the shop and asked to look at some cheap ear-rings. A quantity of gold ear-wires, at about 4s. or Ss. a pair, were shown to them, but they did not like them, and others of a different description were submitted to them. Roberts, after looking at them for some time, said he could not find any of the pattern they required, and, as they could not get the ear-rings, they would like to look at some finger rings. A tray of rings was shown to them, but they said they wanted something more expensive, and eventually some of the most expensive articles were placed before them. The rings in the tray the witness last produced were worth at least £5 each, but Roberts kept taking up different rings, and appeared unable to decide which to purchase ; but in a short time he made up his mind not to buy a ring at all on account of the price, and in order to compensate for the trouble he had given, he said he would leave 2s. as part payment for a pair of car-wires and call next day with the remainder of the money. After they had left the shop he discovered they had stolen one of the rings from the tray he had last shown to them, which was worth about £5. H o followed them and came up with them in Chancery-lane, where a policeman was called and they were both given into custody. On being searched at the station the missing property was not found. Both prisoners pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. Henry said he should remand them to so if they were known to the police. Roberts said he sht►uld like the case disposed of at once, and if the magistrate sent an officer with him he would show him where he had thrown the ring. Police-constable 25 F was dispatched with the prisoner and in a short time returned and informed his worship that he had found the ring where the prisoner Roberts had pointed out. Mr, Henry said he would much rather dispose of the case after the prisoners had been seen by the police. Both prisoners were remanded accordingly. SELLING BEER WITHOUT A LICENCE.—George Smith, of 15, Coburg-row, Westminster, was summoned by the Excise for selling beer without a licence. The solicitor to the Excise said the defendant had, after being cautioned, kept a house open for the sale of beer without a license. He also had sold tobacco without the legal authority. The Excise officer proved the sale of the beer. In answer to the magistrate, Smith said he could not get his requisition for a license signed by an overseer. He should only have been too glad to take out the license. He had shut up the house, and would keep it so until he obtained a license. Mr. Henry—Why did the overseer refuse to sign the document ? Defendant—Because I could not get the required security. Mr. Henry—Then you ought not to have, opened the house. As nothing is known against you before, I shall only inflict a fine of £5, but if the offence is repeated the full penalty, £2O, will be enforced. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ARTFUL METHOD OP OBTAINING GOODS.—John Thomas, a cunning-looking fellow, was charged with ob taining some brass mouldings, by the following artful means : Thomas W. Baker, an intelligent little fellow, of 10 years of age, errand boy to Mr. Tilbury, of 14, Cleveland Mews, said while going on an errand for his master the previous afternoon, the prisoner stepped up to him and asked him if he would go into a shop at the corner of Upper Rathbone place, an ironmonger's, and ask for 121bs. of French brass mouldings, and, at the same time, telling him not to for get to say it was for Mr. Ross, of Denmark-street, and that he would give him 2d. for doing so. Ho did so, and on coming out with the mouldings, which weighed 1511b5., he handed them to the prisoner, who was standing a little distance from the shop. He walked with the prisoner into Tottenham-court-road, where the prisoner got change at a baker's, and gave him 21d. and a little loaf. Mr. Everist Pottelet, brass dealer, &c., 19, Upper Rath bone-place, said he had a customer named Ross, living in Denmark-street, and believing the boy was sent by him let him have the mouldings, of the value of 14s. 4d. Mr. Donald Ross, brass-finisher, of 13, Denmark-street, said he dealt at Mr. Pottelet's, but never authorised any person to fetch him any mouldings. Lambert, 68 E, proved going with the boy to the Grapes, Bennet-street, where he pointed out the prisoner as the man he gave the mouldings to. The prisoner, who made no defence, was committed for trial. TILLS RAPS _MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale here to- day, coastwise and by land -carriage. Most kinds were in steady, though not to say active, request, at Monday's improvement in the quotations. The general condition of the samples was inferior. The show of foreign wheat was large, and a full average business was transacted in it both for town and country consumption, at extreme rates. Floating cargoes were firm in price.

" Mrs. York, says our Transatlantic contemporary," whose maiden name was Ann Stephenson, was the sister of George Stephenson, and the aunt of Robert Stephenson, two Englishmen. who have done more to illustrate the force of genius, and to advance the material interests of the world, than any other of any nation. Mrs. York was the youngest daughter of Robert and Mabel Stephenson (George being their second son), and was born on the 19th Jul y , 1792, at a place called Dewley Burn, in the county of Northumberland, England. She subsequently married John Nixon, with whom she emigrated some 40 years since to this country. lie died in this city, leaving six children, and some years afterwards she was married to William York, by whom she had one daughter, who now mourns her loss. In her unobtrusive, unpretending life, she manifested the same heroic courage, energy, perseverance, and faith that distinguished the re markable character of her illustrious brother. Of a lineage that the proudest might envy, she boasted not, but in her , own meek way verformed faithfully all the duties of a sister, wife, and soother —remarkable alike for her sound common sense, and her practical piety, courageous and suc cessful in the achievements of her private life as her renowned brother in public." •(THIS all.)
