MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocr. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. No material alteration was exhibited in the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon. The bar silver by the last West India steamer has been sold at ss. l! i d. per ounce standard, shew ing no change. ' The steamer Ripon, which leaves to-morrow for India, China, &c., will take out £120,578, Viz., £37,201 in gold, and £83,377 in silver. The Go vernment remit £30,000 to Mauritius of the above amount. The Vanderbilt from New York has been an nounced this morning with £161,000 in specie. There is rather a larger supply of commercial bills, but the market remains without the slightest change of importance, owing to the abundance of money and the moderato terms upon which the discounters are willing to grant accommodation. On the Stock Exchange loans are still negotiable at 2 to 2 per cent., and the Bank directors at pre sent, therefore, have not yet been able to enter into extensive loan transactions, their charge being 4 per cent, for the same accommodation. The creditors of Messrs. Walter Howell and Co., distillers, have beeß called together this afternoon to consider the position of the firm, whose affairs are in a very embarrassed state. It is alleged that the assets do not represent more than 6s. Bd. in the pound, and that the liabilities are about £40,000. The unfavourable position of the estate prevented the introduction of new capital, no one with ade quate means being disposed to join the concern. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a moderate amount of business was recorded, at about previous rates. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. There is very little activity in the Market for Public Securities, but purchasers having prepon derated prices have advanced, Consols being 931 for money, and 931 a for the account. The New 2 per Cents. are marked 771. India Stock is heavy at 218±, but Exchequer Bills remain at Is. to 4s. prem. Rather more business has been reported in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices are tolerably Well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 74; ditto New Loan, 571 5717 Mexican are steady at 2li 22 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. at 481 ; ditto Deferred are firmer at 39:4 ; ditto Certificates'at ; and Brazilian 5 per Cents. at 1001 ; Buenos Ayres remain at 95k, but the Deferred are heavy at 30. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 2 t prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, ,a prem. ; and the Universal, y y prem. In the Railway Share Market there has been rather more 'Activity, and a slight improvement has taken place in prices. Eastern Counties, Great Western and North-Eastern (Berwick), have ad vanced 55.; Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton, North-Western and Midland, 10s.; and London, Chatham, and Dover, £2. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have also shown rather more firmness. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian are dealt in at 101 ; and Antwerp and Rotterdam at 5-t i ; Great Western of Canada have improved to 13,1 4, ; Great Indian Peninsula to 97 ; and East Indian are steady at 100. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have continued dull, at former quotations. Union of London have receded ss. ; and Royal Mail Steam advanced £l. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. . 0 per Cent.

SIR,—As you have inserted some communications relative to the state of the weather during the past Bummer, perhaps you will allow me to offer a few observations on the same subject. Having anxiously noticed the quarter from which the wind blew from the 20th to the 26th of last March, at the end of that month I stated to several persons in this town my anticipations that for the folloWing six months the weather would be generally wet, stormy, and ungenial. Some of my friends, in order to test their correctness by the issue, made a special note of these "forebodings," as they termed them, which have, unfortunately, been too well verified. The wind during the seven days abovenamed was, for the most part, south and southwest with occa sional showers—a condition which almost invariably indicates excess of rain for the following half year. Your readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves respecting the truth of this rule, if it may be so called, by marking the point from which the wind blows from the 20th to the 26th of the present month. Should it be from the south or South-west, a continuance of the late weather may be expected. If, on the other hand, the direction should be any point from the north, a dry autumi Ind bracing cheerful winter may be looked for. It is not meant to be affirmed that in either case the Season will be altogether wet or fine, but that it will be so characteristically. The rule as to the direction of the wind about the time of the equinox was laid down by some acute observer long, I believe, before I was born, but, having for more than 30 years kept a journal of the weather, and having marked its general correct ness, I may be allowed to speak of it with some little confidence. May I add that probably we are entering upon a series of years characterised by more than usual moisture ? It has been observed that for a cycle of seven years the winds have chiefly been westerly, with more or less rainy seasons and indifferent har vests, and for an equal period easterly, with dry seasons and good harvests. It may be remembered that many years since, during the discussions in Parliament on the Corn Laws, the late Sir Robert Peel adverted to this as an established law in con nection with some statistics, embracing a period of, I think, more than 100 years, published by the late Mr. Tooke, showing the prices of wh ea t as hi g h or low, and as accurately corresponding with the cha have the honou r t o b e, s i r, racter of these cycles. —I yours, R. H. Cheltenham, Sept. 17. SALMON FISHING.—A corresponaent of the Scotsman says :—The nets having been taken off the Tay on the 26th of last month, anglers were looking forward to good Sport with the rod, as the late act of Parliament extends the period of rod fishing till the 3 0 th Sept.' but from the late rains producing frequent spates in the river, the salmon are unsettled and will not rise to the fly. If, h owever, the weather should become settled and fine, the next fortnight should yield a good return, the river being at present very full of fish, as they are seen breaking the water in evereen y quarter. The greater part of the fish that we have s showing themselves are clear and silvery; last year they were getting brown by this time ; but the salmon are like the season, later this year. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of g old a is about at par, and the short exchange on Lend"' is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates wi th the t Paris English Mint price of £3 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in'!Lonslon. By advices from Hamburg the price.of gold is 4241 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 3-10ths per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1091 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange Is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allow ance for charges of transport and difference of interest i the present rate leaves a small pro At on the importatiell gold from the United States.

(Before Mr. Baron Wilde.) THE QUEEN V. TIIE REV. LEWIS PRICE. Mr. Bishop, of the firm of Bishop and Son, and Registrar of the Greenwich and Woolwich County Counts, with Mr. Lovibond, solicitor, of Bridgewater, applied for and ob. tamed a writ of Habeas Corpus on the part of Mrs. Harriet Lancaster Price, directed to her husband, the Rev. Lewis Price, to produce her before Mr. Baron Wilde, at his Chambers, and to show cause by what authority he had forcibly removed and detained her in close custody, and refused her permission to return to the Abode of Love, and join Brother Prince and other inmates. The applicants, in support of the application, showed that Mrs. Price had, at her own free will and the consent of her husband, joined the community of the Agape monites, and that his accession from that body, and his wishes for her to retire were opposed by her, that her removal hail been made by stratagem an d force, and that it was her strict determination and desire to return to her former residence, the Abode of Love, and that she was now placed under a state of imprisonment and pro vented from returning. Mrs. Price went on to say that she desired at once to return, that she did not desire to remain with her husband, and that she had given Mss Starkey, who was with her when she was abducted, every authority to instruct Mr. Lovibond to take every necessary legal proceedings to obtain her liberty and freedom of action to return to her former abode. Mr. Baron Wylde, without expressing any opinion in the case, thought there was sufficient prima facie evidence to justify the writ of Habeas Corpus being issued forthwith and made an order accordingly. The writ was at once issued, and sent by express train, and will be served on Mr. Price, at Glastonbury, this evening. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS—A DEPRAVED FAMILY.—Owen Moran, a man who hawks chickweed, &c., was charged with the following robbery : The prisoner and his family are about as shockingly depraved a lot as it is possible to find. Along with his wife he only came out of prison yesterday, where they had spent three months for sending their children out begging—the said children having been for a long time a perfect pest at the West-end of the town. One of them, named Catherine Moran, who was committed by Mr. Beadon yesterday for one month for begging, although only 12 years of age, has for some time past set up a home of her own, cohabiting with a boy of a similar age in Charles-street, Drury-lane. Palmer, 191 C, said that about one this morning he saw the prisoner with a basket of chickweed on his back, and seeing something in it glitter he stoppul him, and on re moving the chickweed he found two measures, a quart and a pint, belonging to different publicans. Thomas Londell, waiter at the Scotch Stores, 365, Ox ford-street, Mr. Ricks, identified one of the measures, and John Watts, servant to Messrs. Smith and Lipscomb, Lis son-grove, identified the other, remarking that he knew it well from having had his head cut open with it. Prisoner—Do what you like with me. Settle it here. I didn't know I had them, and there is no use whatsomdever denying it. Londell said his master had lost 12 quarts out of 19 in a few weeks. The prisoner, who evidently uses the chickweed as a screen while pot stealing, was committed by Mr. Beadon for three months, with hard labour. THAMES. EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF FOREIGN TODACCO.—Richard Smart, Richard Putter, John Childs, Richard lieeld, Jonathan Clark, and Stephen Golden Geddes, seamen, and at the time of their apprehension forming part of the crew of the steamship Ancona, belong to the St. Petersburgh Steam Shipping Company, were brought before Mr. Yard ley, charged, on a Custom-houso information, with smug gling 2301b5. of foreign manufactured tobacco, liable to a duty of 9s. sd. per lb. The Crown sued for penalties to the amount of £6OO. A clerk from the Customs' solicitor's office attended on the part of the Crown. Mr. Richard John, clerk to Mr. Cuttarns, solicitor, of Mark-lane, watched the case for the owners of the Ancona, whose interests were put in jeopardy by the illegal con duct of the prisoners. Mr. William Taylor, a Custom-house officer, said that on Sunday afternoon last when the Ancona landed in the river he went on board, and upon making an examination of the forecastle he discovered several packages, and on opening them he found they contained a quantity of foreign. tobacco. Smith and Putter were there at the time he seized the tobacco. The other prisoners were also on board. Ho seized the tobacco, and by direction of the Board of Cus toms afterwards took the prisoners into custody. In answer to Mr. Yardley, the witness said that the whole of the prisoners slept in the forecastle. Their berths were there. He conveyed the tobacco to the Queen's ware house to be weighed. Mr. Alfred Parsons, locker in the Queen's warehouse, said that he received the tobacco and produced samples of it. The net weight was 230 lbs., and the value and duty £ll9 10s. The secretary of the St. Petersburgh Steam Packet Company stated that the seamen had intloduced the tobacco into the ship quite unknown to the captain and officers, and they must have been aware they were doing wrong. Mr. Yardley said he was perfectly satisfied that neither the owners or the captain of the Ancona would give their sanction to such proceedings, or tolerate any smuggling whatever on the part of the crew. An attempt had been made to defraud the revenue to a large extent. The pri soners were on board the Ancona when the seizure was made. He had no alternative but to fine them £lOO each, and to be imprisoned until the fines were paid. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-(. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) THE COLNEY II ITCH CASE. .Day.) William Slater and William Vivian, who were keepers in the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, were indicted for the manslaughter of Wm. Swift, an inmate of that institution. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh prosecuted on behalf of the Commissioners of Lunacy ; Mr. Robinson de fended Vivian, and Mr. Metcalfe was for Slater. The learned Sergeant said that the case was one which would create much anxiety, although it was surrounded with very considerable difficulties. The charge against the prisoners was that they, being keepers of the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, and having care of patients, so treated one of them named. Swift as to cause his death. The de ceased was sent to Colney Hatch Asylum in the early part of the present year, and was considered a dangerous lunatic —indeed there was no doubt that he was a confirmed lunatic, and that he could never be anything else. On Wed nesday, the 9th of May, the deceased made an attack upon a keeper named Gann, and the keeper struck him in self defence, but there was no ground for supposing that he used any unnecessary violence. Upon that occasion the deceased had the best of the struggle. The keeper was injured, and he hardly knew how he was delivered from the lunatic, but it turned out upon inquiry that he was 'extricated by other people, and as far as ho knew he inflicted no injury upon the deceased:although in the struggle they fell down to • getber on the floor side by side. From that period down to Saturday evening the lunatic was in his ordinary state of health, and exhibited no signs of injury. He moved and walked about with the greatest facility. On that Saturday evening, Slater, one of the prisoners, went to Mr. Tyerman, the surgeon of the asylum, and said that Swift was dead ;. that he had bad an epileptic fit, and that he had died in it A post mortem examination was made, and it was found that six ribs were fractured on one side and five on the other. The sternum was fractured right across. The liver was ruptured, and a considerable quantity of extravasated blood had found its way to the stomach. Inquiries were made amongst the lunatics, and it was found that the pri soners had been guilty of acts of great cruelty towards the deceased. The question at issue was whether the deceased died in an epileptic fit, or from the violence of the two men Slater and Vivian. William Gann, examined by Mr. Sleigh, said the de ceased was about 50 years of age, and was a large powerful man. The deceased made an attack upon him and he struck him in the stomach in self-defence. They fell to gether, and he did not know how he was extricated. lie saw the deceased again that night at eight o'clock. Wit ness said " Good night" to him, and ho made no complaint. On the following morning deceased . showed him a bruise on the right side of the stomach where witness had struck him, but he did not appear to have sustained any further injury. By Mr. Metcalfe—He struck the deceased violently. it was a life and death struggle between them. By Mr. Robinson—Swift, the deceased, was a very vio lent lunatic. When he came to the asylum ho had marks round his waist by which he had apparently been chained down. Charles Reed, an attendant at the asylum, examined by Sergeant Ballantine, said he was called to the assistance of Gann, when he was attacked by Swift. Swift had got Gann down, and had his hand on his neckcloth. Witness said, "Let go Swift," and he let go immediately. lle saw the deceased frequently afterwards (on the same and subse quent days), and there did not appear to be anythingthq wa s nothing with him. lle made no complaints. There nothing peculiar about his breathing. On seeing him on the following morning, Swift said to witness " It's a lucliy thing for him that you came last night, I should have killed him." By Mr. Metcalte—lle could not say that Swift was not suffering from injury when he saw him except from his observation. By Mr. Robinson—He did not know what was Swift's special delusion. He fancied that he possessed great wealth, that he was the strongest man in the world, and that he had killed 300 or 400 Catholics. Samuel Clarke, one of the lunatics, was called and said he lived at Grove Hall. He used to reside at Colney Hatch. He knew the two men in the dock. They were atten dants in Colney Hatch. He knew a man named Swift. On the Saturday he saw him taken from the airing court into the ward. It was about ten minutes to five. Vivian caught hold of him by the collar, and Swift said he would go with him where he liked. The other man (Slater) was there. Vivian met Slater, and said he had been waiting for him, as he could not keep Swift quiet. Vivian then took hold of Swift, tripped up his legs, and threw him 'on his back. Both Vivian and Slater then kicked him, punched him, jumped upon him with their knees, and stamped upon him with their feet—principally on the chest. They then took him into the padded room. There was a great noise, and he heard Swift crying out. Once he called out " Murder," and at other times he called upon them not to ill-use and kick him in that way. Witness went into the airing room, from which ho could see into the padded room. He saw Slater's hands on Swift's head, turning him round. Slater said, "We had better have them in, or it will be all over the building." Slater then gave the word, and the patients went in. Witness, however, did not go in, but went and sat down in the recess. The witness gave his evidence with great coolness and in telligence throughout, and betrayed no symptoms of in sanity. It appears that he had been a soldier and had served at Sydney. Wm. Varney, another lunatic, examined by Mr. Sleigh said he was at present residing at Grove Hall Asylum, and was formerly at Colney Hatch, and knew the deceased man Swift. He had supper with him on the day after his struggle with Gann, and saw him frequently on that and the subse quent day. He appeared to be in his usual state of health. He ate all the dinner and supper that was given him. After dinner on Friday some of the patients played draughts and cards. Swift was there and talked " erroneous." Slater spoke roughly to him and told him to go down into the gallery. He was not making much noise. He did not go down the gallery ; ho had no time. Slater caught hold of L him, and drew him down to the padded room. When Slater dragged him into the padded room Vivian followed him, and he heard Swift call ou " Oh 1" and " Oh Lord 1" many times There was then a great scale, and it continued six or ten minutes. He saw Swift the next morning at breakfast. He complained to Slater that ho had kicked him violently on the day before, and that it was too bad. He appeared to be very much hurt, but he ate his dinner as usual. The next day he heard that ho was dead. By Mr. Metcalfe—The cries of Swift were very loud, but sometimes were stifled as though he was being choked. He complained to Slater on Saturday morning about kicking him, and said he was very sore. He appeared to bo pretty well in other respects. He (witness) was at Hanwell ten years before he went to Colney Hatch, where ho was two years. (Tho case was proceeding when we went to press.) TRIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. There was a very poor show of English wheat in to-day's market, both as to quantity and quality. Good dry samples of old wheat realised fully is per qr. above last week's cur rency, but damp qualities were heavy at Monday's decline. Although nearly 14,000 qrs. of foreign wheat have tome fresh to hand an increased amount of business was passing, and fine parcels wero rather dearer. Floating cargoes were held at extreme rates. There was a fair demand for both English and foreign barley at very full prices. Most kinds of malt met a slow inquiry. In prices, how• over, no change took place. There was a good consumptive demand for oats at Gd per qr. more money. Beans and peas commanded extreme rates. The flour trade was firm at very full currencies. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Who'd. Barley.

The determination of Mr. Dunn, Mr. Kent's soli citor, not to allow his client or any of the house hold to accede to the request of Mr. Slack, the soli tor appointed by the Wiltshire magistrates to investigate the case, that they should be examined by him at his private office in Bath, has at length induced Mr. Slack to accept Mr. Dunn's offer that an examination of all concerned should take place at Road-hill House, in Mr. Dunn's presence. An intimation to that effect was conveyed in a letter received by Mr. Dunn on Friday morning last, and on Friday afternoon Mr. Slack, together with a superintendent of police, attended at Mr. Kent's house, and commenced by examining most minutely Sarah Cox, the housemaid and the cook, who has never yet publicly given evidence. The examina tion was recommenced on Saturday, when the two eldest Misses Kent, and the youngest daughter—a little girl of two and a half years of age—were examined. On Monday and Tuesday afternoons the other domestics and others were submitted to a similar ordeal, and the inquiry was adjourned until to-day (Wednesday), when it is expected that it will be concluded. Of course the investigation is strictly private, and although Mr. Dunn has been present, yet we gather that he has taken no active part in the proceedings, except occa sionally interposing to request that some cries tion be put down in an altered form. No cross-ex amination of any kind has, we understand, been attempted, and thp replies have been recorded in the precise form in wEich the interrogations were made. The evidence of each witness has been read over and signed by the witness. Of course, no evidence has been taken on oath. Should it be intended by Mr. Slack, asis rumoured, to publish these deposi tions, their exparte character will cause them to militate strongly against certain persons, and until explanations are made, their effect would probably be to inculpate those who might after all be shown to be wholly innocent. On Monday morning Mr. Slack examined at the Woolpeck Inn, Beckington, the boy Holliday, a clownish fellow, sixteen years of age, who, it will be remembered, was discharged from Mr. Kent's employ on the day of the murder. He was the first to arrive at the house on the morning of the mur der, and then directly cleaned the knives. It is very generally stated that his evidence, which has never been before taken, is of a remarkably important character, but as hitherto he has been sin gularly sullen and taciturn on the subject, and has over and over again made contradictory statements through sheer stupidity and obstinacy, not much importance attaches to what he may say. On the night of the murder, it has been well ascertained that he slept at his home at Beckington. Up to the present time neither. Mr. nor Mrs. nor Constance Kent have been examined. 'Whether it is Mr. Slack's intention to continue to refrain from examining them it isimpossible to say. The nurse has expressed her willingness to come forward when required. The first importation of Continental hops of the growth of 1860 arrived to-day, consigned to Messrs. Wool lc ton, and have been sold for brewing purposes at £l4 14s. per cwt., duty paid. The quality and flavour are alleged to be excellent, and the curing appears to be as perfect as that of British hops. in consequence of the small crop this season in England, and the excessive prices expected, a large importation of foreign will take place, their strength and condition having been tested by consumers in 1854, the last year in which any considerable imp or t s t oo k pl ace .

GREAT PLUNDER OF JEWELRY.—Yesterday morning an extensive robbery of jewelry of the most costly description was found to have been committed at Hawley and Co.'s, 123, Regent-street, a large portion of the most valuable part of the stock being carried off. An inquiry soon led to the discovery that the plunder had been effected by William Giles, a youth of 18, who was employed as mes senger to the establishment, and in whom great confidence was reposed. It seems that Giles left ♦ery early in the morning with two carpet-bags filled with diamond rings, gold chains and bracelets, and a large quantity of miscella neous jewelry, and being met by some acquaintances with a man carrying the bags, on which was the name of Os borne, he told them he was taking his master's luggage to the railway station. Inspector Rogers of the C division of police, and some of the most expert officers in the detective force, were at once sent to track the delinquent, and a full description of his person was sent to all the metropolitan and provincial police-stations, and £5OO reward offered for his capture, but up to last evening he had eluded all pur suit. The precise value of the property stolen has not yet been ascertained ; it is, howeyer, eatiwated at between , £5,000 all, 46,000. STATE OF NAPLES': A letter from Naples, dated Sept. 12, says People are here so full of exultation that they do not dream of a check or reverse. Garibaldi is here —they have paraded, and shouted, and illuminated for three or four days, and now all is over and things have settled down comfortably. Garibaldi talks of leaving Naples in a few days, but in acting so he takes merely a military view of the question. There is no Government here, and it is Garibaldi who has upset it. It is the prestige of his name and of his troops, inspiring some with terror and creating a species of adoration for the liberator of eight mil lions of people, which has rallied the nation around him, and made his march to the capital a triumphal progress. But when Garibaldi leaves his prestige goes with him, and we remain without a Govern ment. I find, therefore, among commercial men considerable anxiety with'respect to the future, for it cannot be supposed that an old dynasty can be torn out of the ground without leaving many roots, or filaments of roots, behind, which will now and then crop up. Then, even among the Liberals, there are causes of diffarence which may produce great disorder; thus, while the more sober portion desire immediate annexation, the Mazzinians wish to have it deferred until the whole of Italy is liberated, 1 when they think they can better carry out their views. For social and political reasons, Ido not believe that annexation is a fact which can endure. Still, at the present moment I think it is the only solution which can save the country ;—in other , words, a Government is necessary. There is no Gc vernment at present, and the only one that offeis itself is that which would be the result of annexa tion. But, observe, I suggest the Protectorate of Victor Emmanuel as a temporary measure only until a better arrangement can be adopted. Most people who understand the position regret the determination of Garibaldi to leave within a few days, for, politically speaking, he would have done well to remain here and consolidate the institn- tions of Southern Italy before advancing. It is, however, I fear, the misfortune of the Two Sieilies, and the necessity of his position, that he may not remain. Great efforts are being made to organise the Ad ministration of the country, and some admirable measures have been passed, which I now report : " All political prisoners are to be set at liberty di rectly." " All Custom-house barriers between Sici:y and the Neapolitan continent are abolished." " Twelve asylums for infants are established in the capital. The institutions are municipal, and are to be maintained at the expanse of the State." " Secret Ministerial funds are abolished." Trial by jury in penal causes is to be adopted." " The order of the Jesuits, and all their dependencies, are abolished in the continent of the Two Sicilies ; their property, moveable and immovable, is de clared national. All contracts weighing on pro perty for the benefit of the order are annulled." " Considering that religious fanaticism and aristo cratic pride induced the late Government to make distinctions even between the dead, the burial of the dead within the walls of a city is absolutely forbidden." " The withdrawal of grain and corn from Ancona is prohibited." Persons are prohi bited from wearing the red coat or any other uni form which does not belong to them." These are admirable measures, but they will make a host of enemies, and render a strong and vigilant Govern ment absolutely necessary. Naples is full of reports of military movements. Lamoriciere is said to have crossed the frontier and entered the Abruzzi, though in the Ministry of War this report was contradicted yesterday. Troops are continually coming in and marching to the frontier. The Piedmontese Admiral, with another steam frigate and the ex-Neapolitan steamship Borbone, left last night for Genoa, as some say to bring more troops, and others add to accompany Victor Emmanuel. The city is in immense confusion—crowded, picturesque, almost mad. Foreigners seem to out number the Neapolitans, and the red jacket every other coloured cloth. Such a Babel is every public place that I imagine myself to be living some thou sand years back—Englishmen, just arrived, hob nobbing with Italians, whose only common lingo is that of the fingers. Many of our countrymen came on Tuesday, and I watched some of them carrying on a most animated, though purely gesticulatory, conversation with Frenchmen yesterday morning. From Gaeta we hear that Francis 11. has completed his Ministry, and the names of some of the persons composing it are Cotruffiano, Ulloa, Casella, and Canofari. I understand that a document has been found since the King left containing a Royal order to the Intendente to liberate all the galley-slaves. Fortunately the order was not transmitted, or to our other misfortunes we should have had to add that of banditism. I hear the sound of cracked trumpets, and, look ing out, see the first ranks of a Garibaldi division coming down the Santa Lucia. lam struck by the youthful appearance of some, certainly not more than 12, or at the furthest 14 years old—fair, pretty looking boys, who might have had a satchel instead of a knapsack on their backs. There were, however, some glorious-looking fellows, and all, whether men or boys, seemed to be animated by a spirit little known to the Neapolitan troops. The latter were a sect to defend a vile political creed, and inflict chastisement on those who opposed it; but the former are banded together to assert the s acred rights of liberty. I saw it in their march; there was an elasticity about it which denoted what vi n a. B . passing within. I cannot say much for their uni forms forms ; they were very dirty, out of order , . d beenne n t irregular, and I have no doubt but that so a general officer as Ferdinand would view, and deN%N , .l e d r e e n nottlswork ingscandalised;havehavebilletedabout in meta, had an object in vie to fight for money. -houses, while the Pied m astel Ovo. I told you that about the town to -day; the t h es o e te t l r s oo a p n s d ar l e oc l in g i c n tmhenSardinian squadron left during the night, not for Genoa, but in the direction of Sicily —it is very probable for some secret expedition. R e ports have reached us of an unpleasant feel ing at Palermo, and the following extract from the letter of a merchant in that city will explain matters : 6 , There appears to be a good deal of doubt and dissatisfaction here as to the proceedings of the Government or some of the Ministers, Crispi having resigned in consequence of the declared dislike to him on the part of the people , but the why or wherefore I cannot tell. I still see many obstacles in Naples and Sicily drifting quietly into the arms of Piedmont, but it is of no use to speculate on events that will be brought to light from day to day." _ _ _ Some of the journals last night published a re port to the effect that Liborio Romano had resigned office, but it is not true. By most people he is looked upon as a necessity to the country, and Garibaldi has expressed a wish that he should re main in power. He remains in power because he is necessary, and sacrifices himself to the interests of his country.
