MNow ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., 0 N E Y. By COLIN KENNAQIIIIOM, Esq. " A really good novel."—John Bull. " Money is cleverly written in parts, and the descriptions of society in Scotland are amusing, and are doubtless sketches from nature."—Atheumtn. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. adopted the ballot. was used in all th e provinces of the United State where it was important to the existence of the cou try. It was adopted i n Aus tralia, in Holland, in elgium ; it was a part of the Spanish constitutio of 1812, and it existed in France. It might b said that in some places it was not the ballot alo that was in operation. Well, he had nothinr , o say for anything but the ballot. It had been h oken in upon in some places no doubt, but that di not show that, it would not be useful where it as respected. Except in England the ballot was considereda part of every efficient repre sentative system, and he knew of no case in which the ballot had once been introduced into a country and abandoned. Observe the progress of this ques tion. When first this subject was discussed they might have counted the members of Parliairent who supported it on their ten fingers. What had been the progress since? He did not mean to say they carried a majority in the House of Common. but the power had grown so great that the result was that no liberal cabinet could be formed without making the ballot an open ques tion. With respect to a Conservative Government he could not speak so decidedly, although we • saw that they now largely professed to be anxious to conform to public opinion, and all that the masses were demanding. Well, the ballot had reached that point that a government, professing reform, could not exist unless it admitted into its bosom the opinions of those who advocated secret suffrage. He referred to Lord J. Russell's experience, and said that he recollected a good many years ago when Lord I. Russell was a candidate for South. Devon, and he found some of the " clodhoppers"—for they were respectable yeomen if they agreed with you, but if they disagreed they were " clodhoppers" of course—were brought up by their landlords to vote, and on that occasion his lordship said he was very nearly converted to the ballot—(laughter)—it was shocking to see how some of the landlords drove the tenants to the poll, and a little reflection would show Lord John Russell that what he saw in the South of Devon occurred in other - places. He re ferred to the opinions of Grote, John S. Mill, and Albany Fonblanque, the witty editor of the _Exa miner, and remarked that the advocacy of the ballot was represented by the strong intellects of the country. He refer re d t o th e b a ll ot as b e i ng an ancient institution, and to an opinion being preva lent that the loss of the ballot was one of the causes of the fall of R oman lib erty, and concluded b y saying that he had o n ly a dd uce d a few reasons in affirmation of the principle that the ballot was a security for honest representation. At the conclusion of Sir John Bowring's address some discussion took place, after which the ques tion was put to the meeting and answered in the affirmative. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING, TUESDAY. At the opening of the winter session of the Exeter Discussion Society on last Thursday, the president, Sir John Bowring, introduced the follow ing subject for discussion :—" Is the Ballot a Secu rity for Honest Representation ?" Sir J. BOWRIN G said, meditating much, as hehad been called on much to meditate, on the various political, changes which hk.d been suggested for the general improvement of our institutions, he had come to the conclusion that there was nor e so im portant, none for which reasons so cogent and irre sistible could be urged, none which could derive so much advantage from ob serva ti on an d experience as that of the ballot—that instrument by which man was protected in the honest exercise of that politi cal power which his country had confided to his keeping. He had been long known as a radical re former, but by radicalism he would have them understand that all that he ever meant was, that true reform which went to the e ra di cat i on of abuses; a reform which would obtain the most efficient government at the least possible charge. When this question was first mooted by reformers (they were then called extreme reformers), they were divided into two sections ; there was first what was called the physical force radicals, who thought that if by agreement they could not carry their point they were justified to have recourse to violence. He abominated that creed. He felt assured that in a free country like this, free discussion would triumph, and that whatever case had sufficient . argument to rest upon must ultimately overcome the ignor ance and hostility which was opposed to it. He belonged to the other, the once small class, hon oured with the name of " Philosophical Radicals," and was connected with a periodical called the Westminster Review, which at that time had no small influence on the public mind. It was soon seen that there was something to be said for radi calism, not merely by violent and intemperate per sons, but by many powerful, learned, influential, honest, and virtuous Englishmen, who thought that the radical changes to whi c h he had referred were needful for the salvation of the country. (Applause.) Since that time radicalism had made much progress everything that had been done wisely an d we ll, h a d been done in a radical spirit; that was, whenever legislation had been wise and efficient, it had re moved the sources of public discontent, and had in troduced elements of public peace and satisfaction ; and in the general tranquillity of the public mind, and in the little disposition that now existed for in temperate discussion, he found results upon which all of them, as friends of peace and progress, might congratulate themselves. In regard to some of the principles which had been put forward as radical doctrines, he felt the difficulty of encountering some of the arguments of their opponents. He wouldjake the question of universal suffrage, and he ackuow ledged that it would be a most delightful state of things—if it could be achieved—if every man could be entrusted with an equal portion of political power; but he could not feel that there was great strength in the argument embodied in the question—" Will you allow ignorance to control knowledge ? and un til the working classes are educated will you give them a predominant power ?" Still, his answer was— Educate people. Again, in respect of the re-distribse: tion of seats, he felt that a great deal could be said against the existing state of things, for it seemed most unreasonable that a hundred men should have more influence in certain localities than a hundred men had in another; still the difficulty in redistribution was this, that there was some advantage in small constituencies having the representation. Again, in regard to annual Parliaments, it was not desir able that men should be long entrusted with poli tical power, and it was desirable to have frequent appeals to public opinion ; but it was fairly replied, " By annual Parliaments you would get rid of ex • perienced men just as they had learned the lesson of Parliamentary duties' "—(hear, hear)—and, in deed, it took a man better than a twelvemonth to learn the lesson. Therefore, while they alight re collect Franklin's opinion that no man should re main a representative longer than twelve months, because it was desirable that his interest should be made to lie amongst many, and not amongst the ruling few—yet it might be assumed that such a measure would probably result in crude legislation. (Hear, hear.) But with respect to the ballot, he never heard one argument that was not utterly worthless as against the position that if society en trusted a man with the discharge of a certain duty, all temptations should be removed from him that would induce him to betray that trust, and that all punishment should be averted that menaced him if he discharged that trust honestly. Secret suffrage was the machinery by which society provided that honest votes should be deposited. It was nothing beyond that. What were the arguments against the ballot ? They were manifestly ridiculous. It was said to be un-English. In the first place, that was a ridiculous outbreak of national vanity, of which any Englishman should be ashamed, for Englishmen should not talk more of English habits than he should talk of his own virtues or excellencies, for they might be sure there were many good habits which were not English, and all were not good that were English. It was once very English to burn witches, and it was now somewhat English to beat wives. (Applause.) He came now to the argument that the electoral power was a trust for which the elector was re sponsible to the non-electors, and it was supposed that the interest of the non-elector somewhat con trolled the elector ; but if they meant to let the opinions of those persons influence the representa tion at all, let them have a vote. Be honest. Don't gag them, but allow them full liberty of giving their opinions. But the fact was that the non elector was as much interested in the protection of the honest voter as was any one in the country. There were two influences that acted on human nature—one was hope, in the shape of bribery ; and the other was terror, in the shape of menace. Both of these influences were corrupting, and we must take care that men were neither bribed nor threatened into doing wrong. Well, the ballot was the machinery by which bribery should be de stroyed and terrorism vanquished ; because, al though a candidate might purchase promises, they might turn out to be worth nothing at all, and he would not be likely to purchase in so bad a market. As to the ballot being un-English, he showed that the aristocracy used it to protect themselves in their clubs ; that in the late management of the great East India Empire, the aristocracy who held the patronage disposed of the appointments by secret votes ; that the officers who sat on courts-martial gave their sentence by secret votes ; and the juries in our civil and criminal courts gave their verdicts while keeping secret their individual opinions, which they were bound by oath not to divulge. But if the subjects of those secret votings were import ant, how much more important were the concerns of the legislation of this [great country—for we made laws not for England alone, but for two hun dred millions of fellow-subjects, and how much more necessary, therefore, was secret voting for the protection of electors. (Applause.) At every elec tion the Queen's mandate went forth to the consti tuencies to make their free choice. " Free" with open voting ! Free election where the candidate went down with his purse in one hand to bribe and corrupt, and with power in the other to frighten and coerce ! What freedom was that ? It was utter slavery. He appealed to the experience of every hearer whether he had not known some honest man who had in spite of all vindicated his own opinion, and recorded his honest vote, and had suf fered for it. It was said, " Oh, a man ought not to be ashamed of his opinion." Neither should he be, nor should he be ashamed of martyrdom. But would it not be better to have no martyrdom at all —(applause)--to have no pile to which to drag the victim ? (Applause.) He had heard of many a jest used by the torturer towards the tortured, and of many a witticism by the corrupter at the expense of some poor wretch bribed or terrified into being dishonest to his conscience, and giving a vote which he abhorred. (Applause.) That state of things ought not to be permitted. He was speaking from experience. He had g one th roug h se ven contes ta s elections, and could t e ll th em o f many instances to no e o of corrupt feelings. O nce a p o or man him and said that h e owe d a d e bt of 255. ° and asked him (Sir J o h n ) to assist him, and he felt some sympathy t or that poor m cams to after saw a wealthy ge ntleman, who He soon d to him, imad—(he was " I have eighty votes at master of 80 slaves !)—if yO n il lY W e rget cadetship y h s e ho (S w i e r d 3 N o v h h n at ) India Company for a nephew of mine in the East the 80 votes are yours." did not accept the proposal, one side and what the despotism was the vassalage onfbuctoiutrosnel on the other. But of all reforms that of the ballot was the most specific , for it removed men not on l y out of the region of corruption and the ballot a manndterror,butalso out of that ofPashseionfor it relieved from h a lf o f the could deposit his vote w ith p eace and quietness, and the country would tur bulence which was now associated with elections. It was said that the system of open voting was English : he believed that England was the only country that retained it.

CANON SIOIVELI, ON GARIBALDI AND ITALLAN.AFFAIRS. The annual meeting of the Salford Operatives Protestant Association was held on Monday evening at the Ilulme street schoolroom, and was very fully attended. The s,t,,cre . tary (Mr. Ford) read the annual report, which showed that the numb?,r of tracts distributed in excess of the previous year had been 15,000, and that the total number was 64,237. The report expressed a hope that the wonderful events now occurring in Italy might result to the uprooting of all error and superstition. The Rev. Canon STOWELL, who presided, directed atten tion to the state of Popery as he had recently seen it in France. The priests were a crest-fallen class, who had lost all their influence and felt that such was the-case. There was not among Fre men that open brow and clear calm eye that we saw amoilst Englishmen.

He blamed not the Emperor for this, so long as the Parisians preyed themselves unfit for liberty; but he did blame him because he did not try to raise them up by giving them a free Bible and Protestant Christianity.

In that beautiful country the soil has often been soaked with blood in the struggles for liberty; and at last a glorious and noble champion and patriot was found leading the people to free dom. He (the Rev. Canon Stowell) did not hesitate to say, after reading the autobiography of Garibaldi, that he had the profoundest respect for that great man. However despots might denounce and hate Garibaldi's love of liberty—however mach those who, would gloat over Italy's debasement might hate his patriotism—however a venal press might endeavour to blacken his character, or Jesuits and their emissaries might try in every possible way to circumvent and mislead him—however much he might at times, perhaps, come a little under the influence of extreme men, and be bordering upon peril—yet, " take him for all in all," a nobler hero had not risen in these later times. (Loud cheering.) Garibaldi was a man of truthful and honest simplicity, of fearless bravery, and consummate generalship; a man who could fight upon the waters and upon the land ; one who feared not the face of man, but, as his memoirs showed, who honoured and trusted God ; a man whe longed to see his country free --and a poor ccun try, with freedom, was happier and more truly wealthy than the most fertile country trodden by the foot of a tyrant, and bound with the chains of despotism. (Cheers.) Therefore his heart was with Garibaldi. (Cheers.) He might and did deplore the horrors of war; -but Garibaldi abated them as far as a man could. (Cheers.) He might deplore all the ravages and devastation that followed in the track of heaven's worse scourge and hell's darkest visitation, bloody war; but his heart was with a man who was not fighting for the lust of conquest under the banner of the tyrant cr the anarchist—who was not seeking the bubble of fame or the equal bubble of power—whe had no selfish aims to gratify ambition, or to satiate cruelty, or to feed revenge ; but who was fighting that his country might have fair play, might breathe the free air of heaven—that the people might worship God according to their conscience, and might no longer be down-trodden and over-ridden by priestly power, that whithering curse wherever it prevailed. (Cheers.) Therefore he said, " Gad speed Garibaldi, and may he pros per." (Applause.) Garibaldi was surrounded by mighty powers, and it remained with the God of nations whether Italy should yet be free. There was poor, degraded, and enslaved Austria, and also France,under the power and in the grasp of that subtle man whose dark counsels no one could penetrate, and it might be doubted what the issue yet might be. All he could say was that if Louis Napoleon robbed Italy of liberty, and took away with one hand the boon which he professed to have given with the cthor, and if Austria came down with all her myrmidons and tried to crush the spirit of rising freedom—it would be might against right, their triumph would be an inglorious one, their trophies would be blood-stained, and the chains they put on others they would deserve to wear themselves ; but even though struggling with but a handful of men, ho had such faith in the God of justice and truth, and in the honesty and heroism of Garibaldi, as to believe that France with her'myriads, and Austria with her myrmidons, would find it no easy thing to stamp out the flames ofliberty in Italy, and that Garibaldi and his freemen might perhaps oven put to route and to shame France and Austria combined. (Cheers.) Assuredly such a cause would have the sympathy of this country. He did not think the _ _ _ 1 OVERNMENT upon FIRST PRINCIPLES. N... 1 Illustrated Analogically, Statistically, and Morally.

THE RACE. On mustering under Mr. Bloss's orders at the starting post, Golden Pippin broke away, and went some slight dis dance, but being led beck the lot were immediately got away at the first attempt on good terms. The first rank consisted of Moorcock, Killigrew, Optimist, Dulcibella, Heiress, Plumper, Lady Trespass, Ben Webster, The Pro phet, Golden Pippin, and Sir William. Following these came Stapleton, Viatka, Alderman, Newcastle, Cape Fly • away, Comforter, Rising Sun, Ancient Briton, Feodorowna, Maveurneen, Barabbas, and Glendinning. After going a short distance Moorcock showed prominently in the van with Killigrew in close attendance, Dulcibella, Heiress, Lady Trespass, and Golden Pippin next in the order named. In this order they came through the Ditch Gap, Dulci bella then rushing to the front " pulling double." Golden Pippin compounded before reaching the Bushes, and Dulci bella went on with the lead, followed by Optimist, Moor cock, Heiress, Lady Trespass, and Killigrew, the above six being far in advance of the ruck. Dulcibella, who was never headed, winning in a common canter by ten lengths, a length separating the second from the third, Moorcock was fourth, well up, and Lady Trespass fifth. Ben Webster, Cape Flyaway, Feodorowna, and Plumper were next in the order named, Viatka, Starke, and The Prophet being the last three. Stapleton broke down coming through Choke Jade, and will never run again, and Ancient Briton pulled up lame.

A cold threatening morning was succeeded by a clear but windy afternoon. The morning trains from London brought a great accession of visitors, and by an early hour the vicinity of the betting rooms was thronged by specu lators and those anxious to ascertain the latest state of the odds. The prices at the break-up, before going on to the Heath, were much the same as on the preceding night. At 6 to 1 Dulcibella was firm, 10 to 1 was taken about Golden Pippin, and Heiress advanced point by point until 11 to 1 was taken ; at 100 to 6 Stapleton, Optimist, and Mavourneen were also well supported. The first race, The Whip, was set for 15 minutes past twelve, and it resulted in a magnificent struggle between Promised Land and Special License, the judge's verdiCt being given in Mr. Merry's favour by a head, Starke, the American candidate, being hopelessly beaten, and pulling up some distance from home. Dundee did not put in an appearance for the Clearwell, and in his absence the yellow jacket was carried by his stable companion, Folkestone, who was made the favourite, and won very easily by two lengths. For the Cesarewitch, 27 came to the post out of the 33 coloured on the card. The race admits of little comment, for Dulcibella won all the way, and passed the post the winner by ten lengths. She was originally the property of Lord W. Powlett, who sold her for £4OO last spring, when he purchased Promised Land and Traducer of Mr. Wil liam Day. country should go to war ; but there was a moral influence and sympathy which England might extend to struggling Italy. (Cheers.) England was free herself, and should wish to see others free. Her moral influence might yet protect struggling Italy, and he trusted they might yet see that country spiritually and politically free. (Cheers.) They had recently seen that the Bible was publicly sold in the streets of Naples. They might as well almost have supposed, a short time ago, that the Protestant Bible would be sold in tho very vestibule of the place of woe. (Laughter.) And then what was to become of the poor old Pope ? It was said that the Emperor of France had a berth ready for him, and it was also said he was going to Jerusalem and even to Ireland. His prayer for the Pope was, that ho might himself become another man, and give up his pre tensions to the vicar and become the lowly servant and minister of Christ. Ho exhorted the " Protestant watch men" before him not run away with a false notion. As the Pope did not make Popery, but Popery made him so if he were shut up in St. Helena, milli ons wou ld still stick to the system. The downfall of the temporal power of the Papacy might shake, but it would not destroy Popery. He urged them, therefore, to go on with their work. The false prophet, Mahomet, was near his destruction, and he be lieved the false priest would not be long after him. (Cheers.) Several other speeches having been delivered, the meeting separated. Mr. Ten Broeck, the American, followed his run of ill luck by running second with Optimist, as he had done witn .'7 '- e # :--- -- .4 ; z . . 1 ,. ...,' .. : • e er z ,.. ~, - i ' ll 1 e - „,1:: ~.... _ ee_.(ILI I . ... r ---- e 4 .. : : :', ...... etc- c voir \i„ _.,.., , ~ ~ oligift- ..

About St. 'v, our ad en o'clock we started for Santa Maria, and reache vanced post, about a mile b eyond a the extitnity of the town, quite far e.l,,ugh ; but Nrsfield, fl En neck lace of red beads for a stock, and with a loog pole, wanted to make a further march along the roc:e in the face of the enemy. As there was no firing going on at the moment, we returned a short (lis ten ..!e and took up a position on a hill close by with a tolerable view. Afterwards we called upon Gen. Eber, a Hungarian, who occupied some most splendid rooms in the town. I had known him before as the correspondent of the Eines in the Crimea. Whilst with him a woman came in to ask pardon of Garibaldi for killing a brigand who had attacked her house, robbed it, and carried her off. Eber informed her that he was sure the ge neral would approve of her conduct, and she went away comforted. What we had been told about a battle being imminent turned out moonshine. Garibaldi had suddenly left the town, and all was peace for the day. We therefore returned to Naples. " Sept. 16, 17, 18 . —Nothing of any importance occurred either in the camp or at Naples, but on the 19th it seemed generally understood that a battle would take place, almost immediately, close to Capua. We therefore started at two o'clock ( roughly speaking, the same party ), ar riving at Santa Maria about six a.m., and found all the troops moving towards Capua—rather sorry looking I must say, half of them mere boys. B u t little fellows of ten, eleven, twelve years, fight like small demons, stride the guns, and fire them off with as much coolness as old ',artillerymen. We got to the first picket, a large archway at the extremity of the town, barricaded by the trunks of trees and bushes—here was the commencement of the road. leading direct to Capua, about three miles off. As the Neapolitans were occasionally firing down this road, it was for each gentleman, more especially' for the amateur, to make his own estimate of the worth-while and of the value of military glory. practically speaking ; in short, to consider what line he chould take towards ,the besieged city, whether to go straight along the road under fire or to make a circumbendibus across the fields under the shelter of the trees. Sarsfield, Ashley, and Davidson went fast to the front, and so did James, your humble correspondent close in their wake. James and myself had not advanced far on the road, when we were joined by one of the legation —a very good-humoured and humorous gentleman, much given to laughter. But his ardent mind, when under pressure, being more bent on the honours of diplomacy than OR the glories of war, its horrors had no charm for him. Bright would have deified him. A shot was fired from the fort—' There goes a smasher for three or four military heroes, at the smallest computation. Military glory is a fine thing, but does not belong to my depart ment. May we not pay too high a price for it. Mr. Smith ? Ha ! ha ! ha!' The diplomatist, in con tinuance—' They say none but the brave deserve the fair, and so soldiers, who of course are all brave, get an undue preference by the ladies over the civil portion of the community; but, barring libel, in my humble opinion, were a diplomatist allowed to carry handsome epaulettes on his shoulders, the fair would appreciate his merits more than those of the brave man, soldier or not, without those ornaments.' " Very near the road was a monastery, with a very good view. We knocked at the gate. An old monk opened it, and asked us in to breakfast, an offer which we accepted. Though we could overlook most of the ground neighbouring Capua, which was not more than a mile off, we could not see the fort for the trees close up to it. At this time the shot and shell were flying about us in all directions, Her Majesty's counsel, impatient of inaction and to be in the fray, proposed to leave for a nearer station. To this the diplomatist strongly objected. I confess I agreed with the latter, my opinion that discretion is tke better part of valour strengthening with ex perience, However, James started notwithstanding, and placed myself by his side, the diplomatist a little behind. We soon separated, however, the law yer arriving at the road before the other and my self. The great guns were sweeping all before them at this time. James had, however, got into a small carriage, with another person, trying to to go forward—l suppose, intending to take the place himself. I attempted to join the party, but the fit was too tight, and as I fell back a grape shot went right through the foot-board be tween the two, and just in the place where I should have been seated had I been admitted—a nearer shave than that of Sir Roger de Coverley. The bureaucrat and I thought it time to look for our selves, and to find shelter where we could. Though there was a haystack not 1003•ards off, under which we could have found almost immediate repose, never did diplomat make such a dangerous circuit to get out of danger—proving beyond dispute how great a blunderer is panic. Shot after shot came rolling along. This won't do at all,' said my companion. What won't do ?" Pressing business demands my attention at the legation, and I'm off to Naples by the rail.' All the party was now separated, and I returned by myself to the highway, the firing down the road from the fort continuing very sharp, and the wounded being carried into Santa Maria in great numbers. All at once there was a cry that the Neapolitan cavalry were coming, and we all ran for it, some red-coats included—a regular panic. I met an English officer coming up at the head of about fifty of the most ragged fellows I ever be held. Come along with me,' said my friend, let us drive those panic-mongers back.' What can I do ?' I replied. I have left my revolver behind, and have only this big stick.' ' Never mind, take my revolver—l have a sword.' I accepted the re volver, but fortunately, most probably, for my life or my limbs—whether for my glory or not I depone not—my friend started off at such a rattling pace at the head of his men that I was soon distanced. I shouted after him, and he came back. I returned him the lethal instrument, thanking him for the loan; and his opinion of my zeal and courage. In about twenty minutes ho came back, having lost ten of his men—so much for the discretion and short wind of your humble ser vant. Our hero returned with a whole skis, but I think he had made up his mind, if necessary, to di e __ gloriously. Be good enough to tell them, if 'fai l, that you saw me going fo r ward . Cheerfully, I replied, ' and should I fall, don't you say that y ou saw me going backward ; I am but an ama t e ur. mistake. ou . A " Truth to speak, the assault was ainke to draw demonstration was all that was inten ded off the attention of the enemy .while General Eber should make a circuit to the r i g ht in order to cut off the Neapolitan army from their resources ; but turned into a this demonstration the fort, and that without artil lery, attack on was unfortunately • up his division this, brought in sup lery, and of course met with a check.

But to return to our personal narrative. None of the ce party had set eyes on the Queen's counsel sin the foot -board affair, so Captain Davidson, Myself, and Billing, his servant, set out in sear c h of him. We looked over the ground wher e we had last seen him—nowhere to be found. We then went to the hospital, to which ho might have been carried. Not there either. At last, it ast, being quite dark, we concluded that he • h 'mg t have left for Naples, and we started for that plat©. We had not gone three miles before we were pulled up at an advanced post of the Gari baldians, when we were informed that we had mis taken the way, and were on the high road to Capua. 'Had we arrived there, what with the aid of our red coats and other unmistakeable Garibaldian insignia, we should most probably have been subjected to a summary and inglorious death, and all the pains I had taken to the contrary during the conflict would of course have been lost. We returned forthwith to Santa Maria, and obtained a pass from General Eber for the Caserta road. On our arrival at Naples we found her Majesty's counsel fast asleep in bed.—l am, &c., "W.

A correspondent of the .Erening Post, writing from the county of Wexford, give° s most favourable account of the grain crap in that district, parti cularly of the barley. With regard to the potatoes the account is less gratifying. He says, "All through the dis tricts in which I have lately passed the farmers are pretty well satisfied—in many cases they say the produce is good, although they have suffered severely by the loss of potatoes. In the greater part of this barony of Forth the potato crop has failed to a considerable extent —in some places it is almost a total failure, and the residue saved is not goo d i n. quality.

MANCHESTER, Oct 9.—There has been a large business done in yarns, more particularly for China, and the prices for twist suitable to that market have advanced fully yd, per lb. on the rates of Fri day. Some business has also been done in yarns for Calcutta, and sellers of 40's mule are asking higher rates. Home trade yarns in good demand at -4-d. per lb. higher, and all _numbers up to 120's are very firm. The market is generally strong, and there is a tendency to higher rates. In clothes the India shippers are still buyers to a fair extent, notwithstanding discouraging advices. A t e l egram from Calcutt a t o th e 9th o Sept. states that a large business has been done, and that a slight advance in prices had been established, but the market on that day was quieter, with a downward tendency, so that it is supposed here the previous advance would be lost. Some reports say that 71b. and 81b 4oz. China shirtings are 12d. per piece higher than last Tuesday. In the home trade and export markets other than the Eastern there is a steady business, and almost every description of cloth is in demand, manufacturers being well engaged, and indisposed to sell except at some slight advance. Since the stoppage of Messrs. Sofiano and Co. there have been several other suspensions in the Greek trade, but they have not caused much surprise, because expected as a result of the first. One of them, announced yesterday, was the failure of Messrs. Lambichi Brothers, whose liabilities are estimated at about £25,000. Two others are mentioned to day, one for £lO,OOO, and the other for about £7,000. Messrs. d. Stagg and Co. report :—" There is little or no change in the market since Tuesday last, Although the latest telegraph accounts from India are said to be less favourable, we have still a moderate business doing for that quarter at the extreme prices of last week, and occasionally at a slight advance. For longcloths, T•cloths, and printers the demand continues steady, and the tendency of prices is still in favour of sellers." LEEDS, Oct. 9.—There has been a fair attend ance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, and they bought a moderate quantity of goods. Heavy fabrics for % winter are the chief kinds saleable, but same inquiries for spring fabrics are making, rather, however, with a view to future orders than to actual sale at the present time. The trade in the outlying districts is steady. The prices of wool and cloth are alike firm. ROCHDALE, Oct. B.—The market f or woo l h as been rather quiet to-day, but prices are very firm, with a slightly upward tendency. Noils and brokes continue in good demand, both here and in the neighbouring markets. , The flannel manufac turers are fully employed. The demand for low and middling goods continues unabated, an d th e trade in Yorkshire goods is active. Prices in ge ral remain the same as last week. During the gale which visited Scotland on Wed nesday, two women were in bed in a cottage at Roseneath, when a very large tree fell upon the roof and embedded its branches in the earthen floor. Before the women could be extricated the branches had to be dug out o f th e groun d . One of them was seriously injured, but the other escaped with slight bruises.—Greenock Advertiser, _..i k.._ PUBLICATIO_NS. ~:'`% iN PAPER -. NC --f. rre , s.

The following is a letter from a venerable but restless friend who, accompanied by Mr. Edwin James and other Englishmen, went to " see the fighting" in Italy. Although, however, he is so fond of that sight that he has long had a knack of turning up in camps in all quarters of the globe, to the dissatisfaction and embarrassment of the per sons there in authority, the reader will recognise from what is written below, that our friend is not at all a bloodthirsty person, but rather excites ad miration by exhibiting, amid scenes of strife and slaughter, a most pacific and retiring disposition : "Naples, Sept. 29. " Mr. Edwin James and myself started from London together, and arrived at Turin on the 31st of the last month. On the road we picked up a gen tleman of the Bentinck school, who jarred all our sympathies by his anti-Garibaldian prattle; but luckily for our tempers there was an antidote to this bane. In the coupe of the diligence was a young man smoking hard, and half military and very Scotchy in his appearance, but whom, addressing himself to no one, we took for a' swell,' I was de puted to speak to him and try his manners, and soon found that what we took for grandeur was simply diffidence. Captain Davidson was the per son, a proprietor. Scotland, near Edinburgh, who having belonged to a disembodied corps of artillery, was proceeding to join Garibaldi, to help the great cause, as well as to keep his soldier 3 in hand. He had written to Garibaldi previously to offer his services, which had been gladly and graciously ac cepted. Mr. James having abundance of introduc tions, and 7 , having started at two hours' notice from him. being without any introductions for my self, called with his letters upon Count Cavour at Turin, to make an appointment for my fellow traveller. Count Cavour was standing at his own door talking to half-a-dczen people in the street; but he did not keep me waiting three-quarters of an hour for an audience, like many of our Ministers of State at home. Stout he is, but by no means short or diminutive, as he is generally represented to be. Captain Davidson was sitting in the carriage while I was speaking to the great man. I said, ' Count Cavour, we have brought you a re cru it f or the cause.' e laughed and said, Truly very acceptable.' Mr. James having presented his letters of introduction and explained our objects to the Count Cavour, he, without more ado, imme diately responded by telegraphing the Sardinian admiral at Genoa, who was just starting for Naples, to detain his ship until we should arrive, and to give us a free passage. Just as we were going on board, Mr. James discovered that his servant had left all his clothes, overcoats, &c. behind, at which he was so much disgusted that he vowed he would go back. We persuaded him to go on board to look about him; and, however un grateful it may appear on the part of one who had obtained a free passage to say it, I think had he observed the state of the ship and the accommo dations therein, he would have bolted back again. But luckily the night was dark, and he could see nothing on board. We here found Colonel Baker, Capt. Godman, and Evelyn Ashley, a true Garibal dian, and one after my own heart. The voyage to Naples was, after all, pleasant as well as prosper ous, all but the two nights in a close cabin four feet square, seven people enclosed. " Sept. s.—Arrived in harbour, when the Sar dinian Admiral Persano came on board. Most civil, and gave us the same ship to go at 4 o'clock next morning to Salerno, where Garibaldi was rep or t e d to be. We landed for the night, perhaps the first party that ever put foot on Neapolitan ground without passports being demanded. The sail along the coast is much like that from Balaklava east, only, if anything, more beautiful. Landed at Sa lerno; Garibaldi not arrived; but said to be at Eboli, about 16 miles further back. " Sept. 6.—Our party took a carriage and arrived at Eboli at mid-day. Found Garibaldi just starting a with his staff for Salerno. Mr. James illYntged letter to him, had an interview, and W h a i s s express with our party to accompany him i.nAshley and train on his entry into Naples. I were introduced. Garibaldi seem ed r quite at his ease. When Mr. James went in to his room he y. glass combing was standing quietly before his hair, all his staff standin g b y "Sept.- 10 o'clock a.m. for 7.—Started ab o u t_,n.

Garibaldi c h ose the Naples on this day entrance an omen. Called o s co . as - Hannibal, with Col. ll Peardday for his entre Ad miral Mundy , 11 . m. and Messrs. James and Ashley. It i s but justice to say that, w hilst the admiral h as not exceeded the power of interfe r ence entrusted t o hi m by the G ov ernment (Wh i c h power, by the w a y, in my humble opinion, is much too limited), Yet he has manifested a most cordial sympathy with a noble cause, and with the hero appointed to carry it out. i t must make every true Englishman rejoice that such a person is on the spot to represent the feelings of his countrymen. What a contrast to the conduct of the French admiral. " Sept. 15.—Hearing that Garibaldi's troops had possession of Caserto and Santa Marie (the latter within about five miles of Capua, which latter place was stilliheld by the King's troops) we—viz., E. James, Vizetelli, Captain Davidson, Ashley, Col. Baker, Capt. Sa.rsfield, and myself—agreed to go to Caserta the same night, to be ready for the ex pected fight,in the morning. We started at nine o'clock, everybody warning us that we should be attacked by brigands on the road, and never was there a better chance for them ; all the revolvers, however, were ready, except mine, which always hung fire. All at once a whistle was heard, seem ingly in the wood by the side of the road—revolvers all up—it was only Davidson on the box; but as Col. Baker and Mr. Ashley had been fired at the night before on the same road, we thought it as well to be alive. We arrived at Caserta about two o'clock, and sent to the general for billets, but non: were to be had for love or money ; the place w , crowded with troops.
