C. E. Goodhart, late Patrick and Goodhart, sugar refiners, situate in the above-named thoroughfare. The premises in question covered an immense space of ground, and comprised boiling houses, moulding rooms, general stores, and the wholesale warehouses, independent of the steam-engine houses and machinery depots. The buildings, which were seven stories high, were at the time of the outbreak filled with goods of a costly character, and for seve ral hours—in fact,until nearly midnight—the worst apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the whole of the buildings near; for the flames quickly assumed an aspect that has rarely been witnessed for some years, unless from the de struction of one of those lofty buildings, which abound in the east end of the metropolis. Tne first discovery was made by one of the workmen per ceiving a lurid glare of light in or about the third floor from the basement, which at once convinced him that a fire, and one of no small magnitude, had taken place. He at once gave an alarm, and Infor mation of the disaster was sent to Mr. Braidwood, superintendent of the London fire engine establish ment at Watling-street, per electric telegraph. That officer, without a moment's delay, sent for the two powerful steam floating-engines, one moored at itotherhithe, the other at Southwark-bridge, as well as the powerful land steam-engine, the patent of Messrs. Shand and Mason, as well as the hand engines of the brigade from nearly every station in the metropolis. Before, however, any of these powerful machines had time to get to the scene of danger the flames had assumed a terrible aspect, for they rolled out of several windows, and ascended so high into the air as to illuminate the whole of Lon don, bringing out in splendid relief the cathedral of St. Paul, Bow church, and other sacred edifices en both sides of the Thames ; in fact, the water in the river for mile s l oo k e d lik e b r i ght gold, and a jury sitting before Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, as far as Wandsworth, had their attention directed to the brilliant reflection of the fire upon the river. The land steam and hand engines were taken to the spot as fast as the horses could gallop with them, but before they could arrive there, three of the lofty seven-story buildings presented nothing short of a general sheet of fire. The crackling of the timbers, and the hissing noise occasioned by the burning sugars, were such as can with difficulty be accu rately described. The steam floating engines were at once set to work from the river, and the powerful steam land engine was set into operation from the mains of the East London Company, which run through the district, and some eight or nine hand engines, each worked by 28 hired auxiliaries, were also called into requisition. With the ad of such a powerful force as above enumerated, it is hardly necessary to state that many tons weight of water were scattered momentarily upon and into the harping premises, but notwithstanding the work of devastation con tinued, and at one period it was feared that the sheds and a large quantity of sugar in other parts of the premises would have been likewise consumed. Such, however, owing to the exertions of the fire men, was not the case, as they were saved. Under the superintendence of Mr. Braidwood, Mr. Bridges, and sundry engineers, the engines were worked with full vigour; but whilst the fire men were engaged in their dangerous calling a por tion of the front wall fell with a fearful crash, but fortunately no one was hurt, an event almost un paralleled at a fire of such a lofty range of pre mises. One of the firemen, however, in running away was forced into the river, but fortunately he was rescued and was enabled to return to his station. By great perseverance on the part of the firemen they succeeded in getting the mastery over this perhaps the greatest conflagration which has oc curred in London for many years, but not until the three sugar-houses, each. 50 or 70 feet high, had been burnt out. The sheds and sugar stores at the rear are, however, saved. The origin of the mis fortune is unknown. The total loss must amount to some thousand pounds sterling. Fortunately the sufferers are insured in the Sun, Phoenix, Royal of Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire, Liverpool and London, Atlas, and other offices. Mr. Baddeley, with two or three of the Royal c:iciety's escapes, was soon in attendance and ren dered essential aid to the firemen. The police had a most arduous task to perform in keeping the great crowd out of danger. At midnight it was found requisite to still keep some of the engines at work, but all danger of any further extension of mischief was happily over, although the wind was blowing almost a gale. THE ROAD CHILD MURDER. —The police are nothing daunted by the result of the recent proceedings, but are as keen if not keener in search of the criminal ; and only yesterday Superintendent Foley told one of the justices of the division tlaat he would "warrant" £l,OOO towards its being found out. Tho police have established a regular system of correspondence all through the neighbourhood, so that the most minute matter is speedily reported to head •quarters. It is principally centered in the hands of Superintendent Wolfe, of Devizes, who still has the assist ance of Mr. Slack, of Bath.— Western Morning Hews. PROFESSOR MUSPRATT, OF ENGLAND.—A niche in the Temple of Fame was, among the Romans, reserved as a posthumous offering in memory of their great men. In France, at this day, the works of distinguished painters aro not exposed at the Louvre until after their death. This was satisfactory in the times when emulation was excited by the examples of generations, and when genius and learning made their slow a d vances b y centur i es ; but in this age of progress, when active minds are contemporaneously engaged in running separat e races o f i mprovement and usefuless, those who are lookers-on, as well as beneficiaries of these labours, may be well excused in anticipating the deferred oblations of posterity, and shaking the merited wreaths over the heads of their living benefactors. Dr. Jas. Sheri dan Muspratt is the eldest sun of Mr. James Muspratt, of Seaferth Hall, near Liverpool, and is one of the most dis tinguished chemists and authors of the present time. He was born in Dublin, in the early part of the year 1821.. His father is well known as an extensive chemical manufac turer, and the first introducer of the soda trade into Great Britain. The son seems to have had an aptitude for the science of the profession in which he has already made sush wonderful progress; and in consequence of his tendencies was, it appears, by the ample means of his father, put at an early age in the way of improving it. We learn from "Men of the Time" he had, before he was 13 years of age, the ad vantages of a partial tour through France and Germany ; was afterwards a student in a university in Glasgow ; sub sequently in one in London, and, when almost within the actas pubertati proxinta—before he was 17—had charge of the chemical department of large manufacturing works in Manchester. During this time he prepared what we believe was his first ati ractive paper, upon chloride of lime. In 1842 he visited the United States for a short period. We, of this country, may be excused in hoping that he derived some ad vantages in his peregrinations thither. At any rate " the age of movement" here seems to havebeenin accordance with his own nature, for, on his return home, we find him still seek ing the Excelsior of his calling in the schools of Giessen, in Germany, under the instruction of the great Liebig. After this he published a brochure, well appreciated by the pro fession, proving the analogy (hitherto unseen) of the sul phites and carbonates. This procured him the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Fellowship of the Royal Society, and what was, we deem, of much more importance and value, the high commendation of the greatest chemist of our time —Berzelius ; and he has also recently been the recipient of the honorary degree of Doctor in Medicine from the Uni versity of Maryland Some of his papers are interesting exposures of error, such as that upo n th e " pre t en d e d for 'nation of valerianic acid from indigo," repelling the state ment of the great chemist Gerhardt, that it is produced by the conjoint fusion of the hydrate of potassa and indigo. He is also, with Dr. Hoffman, the discoverer of the two organic bases, toluidine and nitraniline ; and while at Gies sen, was the editor of Plattner's renowned work on the Blow-Pipe, to which he made most valuable additions. His publications in Liebig's " Annalen " upon the sulphocya nides ; the reactions of strontia and baryta before the blow pipe, refuting all other statements, as well as those in the proceedings of the Royal Society, and in the Philosophical Magazine, are interesting to those who like—as all should like—to investigate the niceties and abstrusities of chemis try. We regard the labourers in this science who extend their researches; to what in common parlance aro termed abstractions as not only pioneers in new discoveries, but as abaters of error and exemplifiers of truths. Abstractions are the connecting links between prediction and reality, and like the image of the bird upon the waters, the presage of coming pres ence. To the industrious as well as the scien tific world, Prof. Muspratt is, however, better known as the founder of a College of Chemistry in Liverpool. From this institution is coming almost continually valuable infortna matCon for tho operatives in nearly all the arts, to say no thing of its contribution s to learning in its strict meaning. His " Encyclopaedia of Chemistry in its Relation to Arts and Manufactures," is a great and acceptable acquisition for scientific men, which may be consulted as a vatic mecum, and always with profit. True, there aro in this, as there must be in works of progressive instruction, many doubts thrown upon received axioms, and some ex posures of favourite postulates; but these are conunemia tory instead of being objectionable features —since time, thorq:;11 it often tolerates, can never sanctify error. Men, in the p;erwral, undertake enterprises of labour and exp.,nse, in the speculative idea of augmenting wealth. Thi s i s t o be neither condemned nor disparaged, because Providence, in a boundless wisdom, adapts all undertakings of popular benefit to the instincts and aptitudes of the actors. In the case of Dr. Muspratt, who has always been surrounded by the aids, appliances, and consolations of wealth, the motor of his exertions must be of a more spiritual nature, com bining an indefatigable desire to do a great general good, with a corresponding ambition to gratify his own taste, and advance a science suited to his genius, and of which he is one of its greatest ornaments. .It is a delightful thing to see the fruits of the trees of our own planting ; and they who accomplish it can read, beforehand, of themselves in the un written book what posterity will indite when the time comes. —C. M. ; ,Zia the ,Arew Dl* nos. " Oct. 9, 1860. "My dear Dr. Spratt,—l send you the reply of His Holiness to the address of the Religious Con fraternities of Dublin, adopted in your church some months ago. Be so good as to translate and present it to the Confraternities. Was it not most kind of our good Holy Father to forget for a moment his own afflictions and trials in order to correspond with his faithful children in Ireland ? lam sure the Confraternities will highly appreciate the affec tionate condescension of His Holiness. Tell them to pray most fervently for so good a father. He is now assailed by all the powers of hell and the malice of earth. The prayers of the faithful were never mere necessary. Let them ascend every day like sweet incense to the Throne of the Most High. They are more powerful than earthly arms, and they will secure a glorious triumph for the Apos tolic See. The Pope's authority is built upon a rock; it has been founded by the eternal word of Christ ; it will last for ever. What a happiness and a glory for us to be connected with that rock. Though storms are now sweeping the earth, though the barque of Peter is tossed upon the foaming waves, yet our faith is not shaken. We have full trust in the holy pilot who steers the vessel ; and we look forward with patience and confidence to the day of calm and triumph. Still let us pray, and let us pray with fervour, that God may strengthen His vicar on earth, that the days of his trials may be shortened, that darkness may soon be dissipated, and true faith and religion rule widely over the earth. Wishing you, my dear Dr. Spratt and the excellent Confraternities every blessing, I remain your obedient servant, " t PAUL CULLEN." The subjoined is the translation of the letter of the Pope referred to in the above— " Beloved children, health and apostolic benedic tion,—Your most dutiful letter has been delivered to us, in which you profess your filial piety, your reverence and veneration for us and this chair of St. Peter; and at the same time manifest how in tense has been your grief of mind at the wicked and sacrilegious aggression on our civil sovereignty and that of the Holy See by men who, in their hos tility and opposition to the Catholic Church and the aforesaid Holy See, do not hesitate to trample under foot all rights, human and divine. Grate ful, indeed, have been to us you r no bl e sen ti men t s , praiseworthy in the highest degree, from which, in the midst of our overwhelming difficulties and sorrows, we have derived no inconsiderable solace. " Continue, then, beloved children, to beseech, without intermission, the great and omnipotent God to calm the winds and waves, to deliver His holy church from dire calamities, and to adorn and enrich her every day with new and brilliant triumphs, and to sustain and console us in our afflictions ; and, moreover, to lead back by His omnipotent power to the ways of truth, justice, and salvation, all the enemies of the Church and this Apostolic See. In conclusion, as a pledge of all Celestial gifts, and as a proof of our paternal charity, we most affectionately impart to you, most beloved children, from our inmost heart, our Apos tolic benediction. " Given at St. Peter's, Rome, the 4th day of July, 1860, and 15th of our Pontificate. " Pius PP. IX. " To our beloved children the members of the Confraternities of the city of Dublin." RUMOURED LEGAL APPOINTMENTS AND CHANGES. The journal before mentioned says : " It was rumoured yesterday that the following legal appointments and changes were made :—Ser geant Fitzgibbon, Q.C., to be Master in Chancery, vice Acheson Lyle ; Mr. Andrew, Q.C., Chairman of East Riding, Cork, to be Chairman of the county Donegal, vice Jonathan Henn, resigned ; Mr. De Molynes, Q.C., appointed to the Chairmanship of the East Riding, Cork ; Sir Colman O'Loghlen, Mr Armstrong, Q.C., Mr. Wolfe Flanagan, Q.C., Mr. Rolleston, Q.C. and Edward O'Sullivan, Q.C., are spoken of for the vacant coif." Another paper states authoritatively that Mr. Lyle has retired, and that Serjeant Fitzgibbon has been appointed to the vacant Mastership in Chancery. THE IRISH BRIGADE. On this subject:the Morning News has the fol lowing announcement : " We are glad to be able to announce that a com mittee is being formed for the purpose of relieving the men of the brigade on their return from Italy. " The Very Rev. the Vicars-General, Monsignor Yore and Monsignor Meagher, have kindly con sented to be members of the committee. " In a day or two we shall publish the names of the clergymen and laymen who will form the com mittee. In the meantime, for the convenience of those who wish to contribute, we shall be very happy to receive their contributions for the above object, and take care that they shall be forwarded to the persons duly authorised to receive them. " We have learned with satisfaction that after the Office and Pontifical High Mass on Friday, for the fallen brave, the Archbishop and clergy will hold a meeting for the purpose of expressing sym pathy with the Pope and with the friends of our fallen heroes, and their readiness, to assist in reliev ing the men of the Irish brigade on their return home." THE HARVEST IN THE SOUTH. The Cork Reporter states all reports received from the most important agricultural districts of the South of Ireland concur in informing us that we will certainly have a more plentiful harvest and better crops than had been generally anticipated. The supply of oats and the quality will be much below an average, and wheat and barley will not be below an average yield. MEETING OF IBONMASTE.RS. WOLVERHAMPTON, OCT. 10. The usual quarterly assemblies of the ironmas ters of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire commenced in this town to-day. The meeting held at the Swan Hotel was less numerously attended than usual, and the tone was 'languid through out. There was, indeed, no attempt made to con ceal the fact that the trade is flat ; it is only some of the leading firms who have an exten sive connexion, and who make favourite brands of finished iron, that have an average quantity of orders on hand. The majority of those en gaged in this trade in this quarter are very dif ferently situate in that respect, and, certainly, their position was not much improved by the proceedings at to-day's meeting; for the transac tions were almost nominal, It would be incor rect to say that lower prices would be accepted so far as the general body of the trade are con cerned, but there appears to 13, no doubt what ever that under-selling has prevailed of late, ex cept for marked iron, and, unl 1 s more animation is evinced at the grea t m ee ti n hi c h t a k es p l ace at Birmingham on Thursday, it is scarcely to be expected that the trade scale will be even as closely adhered to as it has beet. With regard to pig-iron the market is even more dull than it is for the manufactured article; there were very few sales of pig reported as made at the meeting today; and the quotations were fully 2s. 6d. lower than they were three months ago. 't . The principal topic of conversation on the part of the assembly to-day was the new French tariff upon iron imported from this country ; at present few orders have been received in this district from France since the tariff was published; but it is thought that in time the demand for British manufactured iron at some of the French ports, Dunkirk, Bordeaux, Boulogne, &c., will be con siderable ; it is certain, however, that the iron producing districts in close proximity to shipboard will have an advantage over South Staffordshire; so with regard to pig-iron a similar observation applies to the pig-masters in the Cleveland dis trict. The general effect will, however, it is thought, be to give increased life to the trade. There were no other features a to-day's meeting to call for remark, It was not expected that much business would be done, so that i n th a t respec t there was no feeling of disappointment. It may be added that the coal trade is brisk, especially in the neighbourhood of Dudley ; and that this being manufacturers' and factors' quarter-day, accounts were reported to have been promptly paid. Throughout the district there is little labour out of employment. day after. The Dictator, who had displayed the whole day of the battle an almost superhuman activity and energy, had retired for a few hours rest in the modest little chamber of the palish priest of St. Angelo, when about 10 p.m. a telegraphic despatch arrived from Caserta informing him that a Neapo litan force had made its appearance on the moun tains to the north of Caserta, and that a body of them had even occupied Monte Briano and above the cascade of the park, which is not a mile from the palace. With that rapidity which characterises the resolutions of Garibaldi in moments of emer gency, orders were given to the Carabinieri Genoesi, to a couple of hundred men of the brigade Spanzaro, which were alone at hand, all the others being en gaged in guarding the long advanced line which had been taken, and to the Calabrese volunteers to be ready next morning at 2 a.m. At the same time General Sirtori, the chief of the Staff, who was at Santa Maria, was ordered to collect likewise what force he could without endangering his position, and go by the main road to Caserta. He took a portion of the brigade Amanti (Division Cosenz), and the Swiss company of the brigade Eber, both just returned from the fight, and started for his destination. General Bixio at Maddaloni was cautioned to be ready at dawn, and while guarding for the safety of his position to send a column over the slopes of Monte Caro, in the direction of Caserta Vecchia. Lastly, the order was despatched to the Piedmontese Bersaglieri, and to the two companies of infantry which were at Naples, to come down in the morning to Caserta by rail. Caserta lies at the north-easterly corner of the Campanian plain, and is surrounded from north west to south-west by groups of mountains, scarcely a mile distant from the palace and town. The slopes of all these mountains are well wooded, and have been turned into game pre serves, while their tops are steep and bare. In one of the depressions of these mountain tops lies Caserta Vecchia, built by the Lombards, and still retaining its old walls built a thousand years ago. It was here and on the neighbouring heights that the Neapolitan column had taken position on the evening of the Ist. This column, the same with which Bixio had had to do in the morning, seeing that it could not penetrate at Maddaloni, had made a flank march, in order to attack Caserta. Accord ing to the accounts of the prisoners which we have now, it seems that they were encouraged in this foolish proceeding by a report whi c h reac h e d them from Capua that our whole force at St. Angelo and at Santa Maria was defeated, and that at Caserta only two headstrong Hungarian generals held out with a few troops. The park of Caserta, laid out to the north of the palace, forms a large square of well nigh three quarters of a mile, surrounded on all sides by a high wall of enclosure. At the south-easterly angle of it, leaning on to the palace and park, and only separated from them by the road, extends the town of Caserta : at the north-easterly angle the village of Aldifreda ; at the north-west, the village of Ercoli ; and half a mile to the north of it, on the road to St. Leuci, another park and preserve, con taining the Palace of Belvedere, and the village of Briano. The Neapolitans who were in possession of the heights sent down a couple of battalions next morn ing. Although their appearance on the evening before had caused alarm, they succeeded in coming down without being perceived, and actually got possession of the first houses and of the barracks situate on the north-easterly flank of Caserta. The sentinel at the barracks was the first to give the alarm. Gen. Sirtori collected whatever force he had in hand, among them two companies of Piedmontese Bersaglieri and two companies of the Line, which had came down by rail from Naples a short time before. The resistance was not very energetic,:owing, pro bably, to the circumstance that a part of the Neapolitan soldiery was already more busy plundering than fighting. They were soon pressed back, and a number of them taken prisoners ; of the rest, a part got into the direction of Madda loni, where Bixio came down upon them, and made likewise a number of prisoners. While this was going on Saulis had drawn nearer with his brigade, and Garibaldi had come up to the heights. The Pied montese as well as some other troops were sent up to assist, and then the race began, with the Pied montese Bersaglieri in front. The Neapolitans tried to make a stand in front of Caserta Vecchia, but were soon mßds to yield, leaving 400 or 500 pri soners in our hands. This done, the whole assumed altogether the character of a chase. Two entire bat talions, cut off towards the left and pressed back, fell into the hands of Colonel Viackler, of the Bri gade Saulis, and were made prisoners almost to a man. It was quite ludicrous to see the numbers of prisoners, many of whom still had their arms, escorted by a few men as prisoners to the Palace of Caserta, in the courtyard of which, before even ing, 2,500 men, and two colonels and several other superior officers, had found accommodation. The rest were dispersed in all directions, so that of the column of 5,000 very few will probably return to the right bank of the Volturno. This success of the second day considerably en hanced the advantage gained on the first. It makes several thousand enemies harmless, and makes, likewise, a good show, which is by no means despi cable with a not very warlike population like that of Naples. But, after all, the success of the second day was but the ripe fruit which fell from the tree by a little shaking. It was on the Ist of October that the question was decided. The Neapolitans, threatened as they saw them selves to be, taken between two fires, and confident in their numbers, made a desperate effort to break through our line at all points, and were beaten back on all, with the loss of at least 1,500 killed and wounded and nine guns.* They were followed up under the very gates of Capua , and our outposts kept their places at the very edge of the glacis of that fortress. Officers and soldiers had been kept in utter darkness of the events which were taking place around them ; they were made to believe that the intervention of the Austrians had already de stroyed Garibaldi, and that all that remained was a t u o eii finish a receptiont he work as of h a d Andnow ,and the to h ea find vy losses, are not calculated to raise their courage. On the day of battle they fought stubbornly, for they thought that the Austrians were at Naples, and would co-operate in our rear. As for their dispositions, their plan, with the 1 exception of the flank movement towards Madda loni, was what is commonly called " taking the bull ttetemhaert o e u emergency concentric posi tioncy by the horns." They attacked the two n earest and strongest points, Santa Maria and S t. An g elo, in greatest force, and made the flank movement to. wards Maddaloni weak enough t o be over p owered just in time to allow the reserv es from Caserta to go up to the points most thre atened and decide the day. Had the column aga inst Maddaloni held ou t long enough during the day to necessarily s the a ril y equally ua y s at Caserta in check , or even to obli g e us to send off the whole or a part o f them in that dir ection, it ro might have put us into an a e w er k a e w se a r r y cl es position.fm Caserta o nottas wEI t h simple—to e Our enemy, general hold h and d istsepne hr o d s t i o t i ff o e ds a h npoints, throw b ac k on both sides. i considerable face naas itd t e o r a t b h le: respect advantages, which were increasedlioitnmautaehskiees by the s a gave at railway from Santa *2,800 prisoners and several hundreds dispersed. :~;.~"~ and instantaneous communication kept up between the o f n r o t n h t e a nd ba t t t h l e e fi r e e l s d e r which was most contested; namely, Santa Maria and St. Angelo, we had like• wise an advantage, and that was to be able to'work from one point into the flank of the enemy when he was attacking the other. So, the Neapolitans working from one angle of the triangle formed by Capua, Santa Maria, and St. Angelo against the two others, had to extend their line, which, wh en they came near these two places, was too long to be in connexion ; thus, the left flank of the column attacking Santa Maria, and the right one of it at tacking St. Angelo, were always more or less ex posed, and it was just the last flank attack directed by Garibaldi which finally decided the day. St. Angelo and Santa Maria contest with each other the honour of having had the hardest fight, the real fact being that there was very hard fight ing at both places, and many critical moments or rather hours. Santa Maria had the advantage over St. Angelo of having had some earthworks and barricades in front, which had been con structed before, as well as several points d'appui for its defence. Scarcely 100 yards from the gates and about the same distance from the road is a cascina ,or farmhouse, which had been loopholed, and which flanked the road. In this building the French company, formed by the late Paul Deflotte, who, as you will remember, fell when the first de- tachment of the Division Cosenz landed on the shores of Calabria, held out the whole day defend ing the building against all attacks with great bravery. A little further on, close by the road, is the church and little Convent of St. Augustin, the enclosure wall of which had likewise been provided with loopholes, but which was abandoned during the fight. On the Santa Maria side the defence was in- trusted to General Milvitz, of the Brigade Cosenz, who, 'in spite of a contusion in the right foot, exerted himself the whole day to keep his position. He had, besides his own brigade, the small Brigade Corti, mostly composed of Calabrese, and the Sicilian Brigade of La Maya. With this force he had these points to defend. On the right, the road towards St. Angelo, in the centre, the gate of Capua, and before it the high road to this latter place, and then to the left the railway line. Be tween the gate of St. Angelo and that of Capua is the prison, a large square building, with high walls of enclosure, which defied any attempt be yond it ; in the same direction are gardens likewise surrounded by tolerably strong walls, so that not much can be apprehended. On the other side of the Capua gate towards the railway it is the same, the garden walls form a kind of enclosure, but they did not serve much, because the real point of de fence—the railway—is at some distance from the town. This was our weak point at Santa Maria, but the enemy was, it seems, not aware of it, for his real point of attack was the Capita gate. To wards the St. Angelo gate, on the right, he never came, and towards the railway his operations had more the character of a demonstration than a decided attack. The Neapolitans had exerted their last efforts to gain the entrance into Santa Maria, and when we brought up our last reserves from Caserta they had likewise their last reserves in position. The Regi ment of the Grenadiers of the Guard held the Con vent of the Capucins and the Campo Santa, from which they were dislodged by a portion of the Brigade Eber. It was their last resource, all the rest had been spent in the different attacks of the day. It would probably have been difficult, if not impossible, to resist had it not been for the little earthworks, the sandbag battery at the Capua gate, the behaviour of the Picdmontcse Artillery, and above all of some of the Artillery officers. It was to them that we owe the five guns taken on that side. They were dismoumteta or the horses killed. The practice was positively beautiful, three to four shots a minute, of which almost every one told. These Picdmontcse Artillerymen were not .up iu the beginning, but were sent during the day by rail, and came just in time to begin their work in the hottest part of the day. At St. Angelo the position was less favourable for defence. The village itself, or rather old abbey, and its dependencies, which are built on the slopes of the mountain, are safe enough against an attack in front, and their safety would only have been com promised had the Neapolitans crossed the river at the ford above the Scafa di Formicola and come up by the mountain road in our rear ; but the impor tant thing in St. Angelo was to guard the main roads of communication with Santa Maria and the works and pontoons which had been prepared towards the river. This made it necessary to push the line of defence beyond the road, and thus come down into the open. The only defensive work which was made was a barricade of sandbags, with four guns, on the road from Capua to St. Angelo. And this became a hotly-contested point all day long ; it was twice taken by the Neapolitans, and twice retaken. Although there were, besides the Calabrese and Genoese riflemen, nominally three brigades, there were in reality very little more than 3,000 men present, while the enemy against them had columns of at least three times that number. Part of our small force was, besides, neutralised in some manner by Col. Dunn being wounded early in the day. One part of his men, under the orders of the brave Col. Wyndham, stood indeed to their work, but the rest, indiffe rently led by their Sicilian officers, were brought into confusion by the untimely wounding of their commander. In no army is the example of a com mander of so much weight as in ours. One brave and cool man often turns the tide and decides the success of a movement, for our volunteers are crea tures of impulse, and not of discipline. ILI this respect there was no want in St, Angelo, for, be sides Garibaldi, who went constantly along the lines encouraging and urging the men forwa l r st there was Col. Simonnetta, commanding the Brigade of Medici, who was indefatigable in his ex ertions, always at the point most a po s threaten itical d, hold- cri ing out to the last moment tion, and being always one o f the first to regain it. There was Col. Bordon i, the Chief of the Engineer Corps, who acted in turn the part of Engineer, Ar tillery, and Infantry officer.Ther.e Rome, n and has left was Gen. Avezzano, who in 1849 commanded his profita ble business in New York to come Artillery, w ho here to f ig ht. There was Major Dowling, of likewise in turns assumed th e d uties of Artillerymenand general enco urager ; and others, w ho made up by extra exertions wh a t may have been wanting in some, and the result corre- ' ponded to their efforts. OCTOBER 4. Yesterday the 2,500 prisoners were taken by rail to Naples. At the station a few hundred National Guards were waiting for them, who conducted them to the Fort of St. Elmo. When the prisoners saw the National Guard they asked jeeringly, Whether the Austrians had not yet skinned them ?" The taunt was not understood until fur ther explanation. The prisoners asked where the Austrians were, as they had been told that they had already occupied Naples and defeated Garibaldi, who was now between two fires. When they saw the Piedinontese at St. Elmo they asked, astonished, who they were, and when told that they were Pied inontese a new light seemed to dr wu upon them. It is with such lies that the Neapolitans tried to raise the spirit of their soldiery and of their officers, for the ignorance of the latter cedes nothing to that of the soldiers. For instance, this morning a Neapo litan Major of the Grenadier Guards came in with his carpet-bag, waving a white handkerchief, and when asked about his business he said that he had given in his resignation on account of family aft whetherh soldiers and that it had been accepted. In talki D the gwaiirth. him about divers things he inquir ed Maria to Naples and by the teleg rap• sod and materiel could be thus sent on With rapidity, .r-- p9ssed, an d th a t, th ere f ore , it was t oo l a t e . It was 1 to any one , th a t th e ti me fi xe d f or com ing quite disgu s ti ng t o see o ffi cers as we ll as m e n throw themselve s d own on t h e i r k nees w h en on th e point of bein g t a k en, and beg for their lives. But t h e more serio us matter was that the idea of gett i bg not Dyer was quarter roused ferocity, and there is no end to the complaints of our soldiers that the Neapolitans killed our wounded. Several of them were found half-burnt. Although we are no longer in Sicily, burning and plundering seem to be still the order of the day of the Neapolitan soldatesco. Not a farm building re mains in the neighbourhood of Capua, and as the columns on Tuesday came down from the hills to Caserta they set fire to every village whiCh lay on. their road. There is scarcely a soldier among the prisoners who bad not plunder about him, and the silk factory of Sevica seems to have attracted espe cial notice. Their excuse is that they had permission hmt o true plunder o Howev e r , r astory t o a r y and I wordersiil canno t hope t de o t l: hi uderey will W have ethe net r this h n. . further occasion to indulge in this their decided taste, for the lessons of the Ist inst. will not be for gotten. They have become very tame, their out posts keep in the immediate neighbourhood of Capua, and it is only their favourite pastime of u be c shelling which continues. No horseman or red shirt can show anywhere within range of their guns without being saluted immediately. For instance, yesterday burial parties were busy in the vicinity of St. Angelo, and had showers of grape and shelf upon them, which made the people at Santa Maria suppose that the fight was beginning again. It is almost incredible what numerical results these burials give; but in that rayon where the burying parties were so much fired upon 190 bodies were buried, and among them 16 of ours. But they will probably not long indulge in this amusement. Yesterday afternoon you could sea from the heights of St. Angelo large convoys coming out of Capua, and heavy columns Marching towards Gaeta. Indeed, after the failure of their desperate effort tke other day, I do not see how they can think of remaining much longer in that position and await the arrival of the Piedmontese columns. Garibaldi has shown that he is quite a match for the whole Neapolitan force, and he will not wait long to improve his success. Not that he will break his head against Capua's walls, as people eeem to expect, but there are other means of ousting them from their position even before the Piedmontese come up from the north. It was well, for many reasons, that the Neapolitans did try their best, for the ill-willed, ignorant, and timid got frightened ;hat we did not take Capna on the 19th ; as if we had trumpets to blow down the walls of Capua, and as if there had ever been at intention to attack Capua! OCTOBER 6. Nothing new anywhere along the line for the last two days except the usual cannon shot at everything which shows within range of the fortress and the batteries on the opposite bank. Nor was it a time to do anything. We have a regular equinoctial gale, which has lasted almost unabated for the last forty-eight hours, with heavy showers of rain. It is hard work for the poor soldiers at the outposts, and woull be harder had they not almost every where found the means of constructing huts with dry stalks of Indian corn covered with branches or vine branches, which abound. While our military position has become so much mote imposing by the victory of the Ist of October —our Inkerman—our political position has been likewise wonderfully cleared up since last week. The pressure of my military correspondence by last mail was so great that I had no time to bring in political matters. The differences between Garibaldi and the Pied montese Government, on which all Europe has been harping for the last month or three weeks, have been greatly exaggerated, and not at all understood. It was the joint work of the enemies and false friends of Garibaldi, aided considerably by the ignorance which exists in Europe with respect to the changes which have taken place here in Italy. When Garibaldi rallied round Victor Emmanuel he did it, as he does everything, frankly, loyally, and without an arricre pensee. He did so because it was his conviction that it was the only way of uniting Italy. He never wavered in that convic tion, and has been working for this aim. Whoever knows Garibaldi knows that the day he should begin to think otherwise he would say so without one moment's delay. This political attachment to the name of Victor Emmanuel as the symbol of Italian unity has become much stronger by personal ac quaintance, and has taken, on e might say, the character of a personal attachment to the Re Galantuomo. That this personal attachment did not extend to the King's Ministers is quite true, nor could it be otherwise, for, besides other personal considerations which all the world knows, there was in the last case an inherent antagonism in the position of a patriot chief and warrior and a statesman at the head of affairs in such criti cal circumstances and working chiefly by diplo matic negotiations. But to imagine for one moment from this almost unavoidable antagonism a etovejumngpretaoterratilgrenrohraasntcye coofncielaursiiboanisa.i's breach betwee n Garibaldi and Victor Emman ue l was But ch a it ra s c h t o e v r 'e to d see a confirmation of this conclusion in the fact that men like Mazzini, Bertani, &e., wer e h ere , a n d that - some of them had even posts. Garibaldi has been on friendly terms Wi • th these people ; he has worked and has never quarrelled with them. He is neither the man to give up his convictions for any one, nor a man to d eny a personal friend for any political considerations. His enemies pointed to the presence of these men as a proof that he was entering a new road, and these men, having their own views, did their best to confirm the world in this belief. In this lay all the evil. Although the view was entirely false the impression which it produced abroad was so bad that it must have ultimately harmed Garibaldi's position had not circumstances occurred which di minished the evil. Garibaldi being with the army had intrusted, as you know, Bertani with the go vernment of Naples, and the latter went so fast his own way that Garibaldi on hearing of it took the resolution to send him away, removing thus one of the great grievances laid at his door. But what shows better than anything else that Bertani had just as little influence as any one else on the gene ral policy of Garibaldi was, that even before he had been dismissed Garibaldi wrote his a nswer to the King's last letter, in which, whil e reiterating his former statement that he could not work toge ther with Cavour, he expressed himself as ready . to obey any commands the Ki n g him. might have to give This answer will prob abl y settle the matter and bring it to a corn,gusiou.
