.MONEY MARKET AND CITY 1V ETVS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. There has been rather more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days. The dealings in tea, however, have been restricted, and prices have undergone no change of importance. Sugars have been in fair request, the finer qualities showing a slight ad vance. Coffee has continued at full rates, and a moderate business has been done in rice, cocoa, fruit, and spices, with little change to record in prices. At the public sales of hides just concluded the chief purchases were for exportation, and consisted chiefly of heavy goods. East India hides went at an average decline of Id. to id. per lb. on the sales current at the previous auctions. The general prospects of the trade, however, are considered satisfactory. For saltpetre there has been a steady inquiry, and tallow has continued in good request, chiefly for home consumption. . _ _ _ A fair amount of business was transacted in the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, but prices were again rather lower. The sales were estimated about 8,000 bales. On Tuesday, the 31st inst., a call of 50 per cent. is due on the London and South Western New 44 peer Cent. Stock. The Scottish Australian Investment Company held a meeting to-day, at which a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was agreed to, the directors' report being unanimously adopted. A meeting has also taken place of the share holders in the Unity Bank—Mr. Mechi in the chair, who made some favourable statements with regard to the. progress of the establishment, the small pro portion of loss, and the unimportant character of the liabilities it has incurred through the failures in the leather trade, which it was estimated £5OO 'will be sufficient to meet. The report, of which the following is an extract, was unanimously adopted : _ _ " The directors submit the half-yearly statement of the business of the bank to the shareholders. From this it will be seen that, during the period, the earnings, after making ample provision for bad debts and payment of interest to customers, are £4,517 18s. 9d. ; and that, after payment of expenses, there is an available nett profit of £2,626 6s. 2d., which is sufficient to pay interest for the past half-year on the share capital of the association at the rate of 2f per cent. per annum, and leave a surplus of £407 Is. 2d. The directors, however, do not propose to make this distri bution, as they consider the interests of the bank will be thereby best served. The directors feel it to be source of congratulation that the bank will suffer very little loss by the recent failures in the leather trade. They again solicit the co-operation of the shareholders in the introduction of sew business and the increase of current accounts, feeling as they do that nothing more is now required to ensure the prosperity of the institution." A meeting has been held to-day of the creditors of Messrs. B. and J. Mackintosh, tanners—Mr. E. B. Brown in the chair—when it was resolved to wind the estate up under inspection, a committee of three gentlemen having been appointed. _ _ _ The market for Public Securities opened with a flat appearance, but more firmness is now exhibited, .Consols being 931 1, for money, and 93! 1 for the account. Very little business, however, has been transacted. The New 3 per Cents, are flat at 931 1, the Reduced are firm at 931 ; Long Annuities are 16! ; India Stock has receded to 2171 ; ditto New Loan to 104 Z ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has im proved to 97Z ; ditto 51- per Cents, to 1021 ; and Exchequer Bills remain at ls. to 4s. prem. Very few transactions are recorded in Foreign Securities and prices are heavy, Turkish 6 per Cents, are 76/ to 77 ; ditto New, 59! to 604. Russian 4/ per Cents. have receded to 931; Spanish to 48/ ; ditto Deferred to 391 ; but the Passive are firm at 204 and Brazilian at 1001 0 The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 f prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, I 1 presa. ; and the Universal, f ± prem. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been moderate, and a further upward most ment has taken place in prices. Eastern Counties, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln have ad vanced 58.; South-Western, Norfolk, and South- Eastern, 108.; and Midland, ss. to 10s. The Foreign ..and Colonial undertakings have shown no materal variation. Scindes have ad vanced ss. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are a shade firmer.

RUMOURED PURCHASE OF THE ESTATE OF HAR VIESTOUN AND CASTLE CAMPBELL FOR LORD CLYDE.— It is currently reported here that Government, having, in consideration of Lord Clyde's distinguished services in the Crimea and India, determined to present the gallant soldier with an estate in his native country, as an expres sion of the nation's gratitude, is negotiating for the pur chase of the estate of Harviestoun and Castle Campbell in this county, and that Sir Andrew Orr, the present pro prietor, is now in London arranging as to the terms of sale. This valuable estate, which is beautifully situated at the base of the Ochils, and watered by the sweet winding Devon," has doubtless been fixed upon by Government as an appropriate gift to the gallant hero from the name it bears, and from its having been one of the most ancient seats cf the distinguished house of which Sir Colin has proved himself such a worthy scion,--North British Daily , W. verse, ome of much . e slur tg and vipaat on sale e atteu aid WSJ y's ica- trters•- - ;hangea but not N 3 trail' and the e rather s valuer 10 welt. 15 Ark. limiOclP le trod. d. s• 1 : 1 24 - 8 5 ?, 0 5 v 8 5 0 5 10 and th e Planta' s called r cwt. )n. tran, firmer , tationr• market, Planta -1 price o L steadl ed into , lities of acted in Chang e figs: fair 10‘ od to Bryan Le gris t ; o f that r an ira" cessiort, f ivhic? , publi e r. `King ii w hite, criptio f : eorge : t k, stre 1 a lat. 1 ~,,t OW ti , ..." 3hionero hick for e, oec a- Aic Br' MOW pasft 13s e. cl strang e Age, re: ree, 811 ' 1 4 .

BRITISH POSSESSIONS. LAW INTBLLIGENVE.-(THIS DAY). COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice •Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) .TUDGY:VIENT.-THE LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BANK V. TURNER. His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, said —The question that is raised in this case, under the Shipping Registration Acts, is one of very great importance. The question which is raised is, whether, under a contract for a mortgage, or an agreement for the sale or mortgage of a ship, entered into by the parties, was in itself such an agreement as would justify the court to execute its powers of equity, and decree specific performance of it. Such a case as the present has never been decided, and no provision is made for it in the Registry Acts. His Honour referred to the practice of the court under the old Registry Acts, to see if any equitable beneficial interest cases did fall under these acts, and did not find any. The former Shipping Acts and the present Mer chant Shipping Acts require the complete registration of all incumbrances on ships, and no provision is made for the registration of agreements for the sale on mortgage of ships, and such agreements cannot appear in the register. His Honour cited the decisions of Lord St. Leonards, in Ran kine and Greene, Hutchison against Wright, 25 Brown, and Hughes and Morris, (De G ex, Macnachten and Gordon) before the Lords Justices and Lord Cranworth, to show the Court did not decree specific performance of agreements for a beneficial interest in ships not registered. His Honour minutely examined the se veral ;sections of the following acts of Parliament to dis cover whether this agreement could be enforced :—G Geo. IV., which enacted that all property in British ships shall enter the register ; 3 and 4 Vict., sec. 4 and 37, and Y and 9 Vict., to the same effect. Sections 3 and 32 describes the character of the ship, and section 18 the person en titled to hold the ship, and the complete registration of the bill of sale, transference, or incumbrance on ships. Section 38 describes the person having a legal interest in the ship, and sections 61, 62, 63, and 64, describes the proceeding ne cessary for the transfer and sale of the ship ; they must all appear in the register. Section 103 was an excep tion, where such interest is forfeited by insol vency or bankruptcy. Sections 58 and 59 gives the form of transference. His Honour, after considering all these several sections of the Shipping Registry Acts, and in particular the provisions of the Mercantile Shipping Act (April, 1855), came to the conclusion that the plaintiff was not entitled to have this agreement registered, and not en titled to specific performance of the agreement, and dis missed the plaintiff's bill with costs on this point. The defendant will have his costs in so far as he has been sue cessful in this case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAI .) BOW-STREET. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tnis DAY.) The STEALER took the chair at twenty minutes after ;we've o'clock, PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Wigan Water Bill and the Monkland Railway Bill were considered and agreed to. The following bills were read a third time and passed : BoschettP.s Estate, Daniel Stewart's Hospital, and Galway Harbour (No. 2). The Caithness (No. 2) Bill was read a second time, and several private bills were read a first time. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at clause 36. Mr. M'MAHON said that he bad a motion on the piper for the omission of this clause, but after the opinion which the house had already expressed in reference to this bill, and considering the lateness of the session, he would not press the motion. The O'DONOGHUE was of opinion that, as there was such a thin attendance of Irish members (only about nine being present), they ought not to proceed with a bill of such importance. He concluded by moving that the chairman report progress. The motion was withdrawn, and the clause, as amended, was agreed to. Clause 37, with some verbal amendments, was agreed to, as were clauses 38 and 39. On clause 40, _ _ Mr. M'M A HON moved an amendment to the effect that the provisions of the clause, which enabled a tenant to give up a tenement when destroyed by fire, should be extended to cases where the property was destroyed accidentally by tempest or by water. Mr. DEASY did not oppose the amendment, further than that he considered it unnecessary, the terms " inevit able accident" meeting the views of the hon. and learned member. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses to 47 inclusive, with some verbal amendments, were agreed to, and clause 48 was omitted. Clause 49 was agreed to. On clause 50, which provided for the continuance of tho power of distress, some discussion took place. Mr. DEASY appealed to the committee to allow the clause to pass, and promised to introduce a clause to pre vent vexatious distress. The clause was then agreed to.

Co.ofUpr.Can: fi - go Van Diemen 'a Land George Field, a respectably-dressed man, was placed at the bar charged with stealing £l4 10s., the property of Mr. Koppers, an eating-house keeper in Wardour-street. Fanny Woo Hams said the prisoner, in company with another man, entered a dining room kept by her brother in-law, and proceeded up stairs to the public room and ordered dinner, a few minutes before one, about three weeks ago. It was served, and they ordered some ale, and re mained in the room about an hour. The apartment from which the money was taken adjoined the dining room, and on returning with the ale they both said they were in a great hurry to get away. They paid fur their dinners and left. She was quite positive the prisoner was one of the men. Mr. Koppers said he kept a dining-room in Wardour street, and a few minutes before one the prisoner, with a companion, entered the premises and ordered dinner. .A. few minutes before one on the day of the robbery he had been upstairs, and had occasion to observe the money which was kept in a drawer in the bed-room. After the prisoners had left he was induced to go upstairs, and then discovered the door of the room and the drawer in which the money was kept had both been forced open and the cash stolen. Tho prisoner denied he was at the house on the day in question. The prosecutor said he was almost certain he was, and that he left with his companion before ilia whole of the dinner supplied had been oonsumed. Prisoner said that was not true, as they had eaten the whole of the things ordered. The magistrate—Then you did dine at the house on the day in question. In answer to questions from the magistrate the first witness said she had observed the prisoner and her com panion dine at the rooms on the day before, and she sup posed the bed-room door had b3en tried, as on her brother in-law attempting to go into the room he had great difficulty in opening the door. The constable who had charge of the case said the jemmy found on the prisoner corresponded witk the marks made in forcing open the drawer containing the money. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VISCOUNT RAYNIIAII AND AN " UNFORTUNATE." —Mary Lawrence, a young woman, described on the charge sheet as a prostitute, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt, with annoying male passengers in Lower Regent street, for the purposes of prostitution." Viscount Raynham, ALP., attended to watch the case on behalf of the defendant, and was accommodatcdwith a seat on the bench. George Bowdon, 296 A, said—l was in Lower Regent street at half-past eleven the previous night, and saw the female accost five different gentlemen. She followed the first gentleman up and walked in front of him, but I can not say what the gentleman said to her. Another gentleman came along and she then followed him and returned to the corner of Charles-street, having prevented his getting along. A third gentleman 'then came by, and she laid hold of his arm, and to get rid of her he pushed her away, and was obliged to walk on the kerb. She then acted in a similar manner towards a fourth and a fifth. I then took her into custody, on which she said "Pray let me go, I'll do so no more." The Defendant—l never touched a gentleman or spoke to one ; it's all false. Bowden said she was walking about for above 10 minutes. The Defendant—l was waiting for a person to come out of Charles-street, and was walking' up and down. Inspector Holden said --I took bail for the prisoner at half-past 12, having taken the charge at 11.35. She gave the address 8, Norfolk-street, Blackfriars-road. I read the charge over to her, as I usually do ; it was for annoying male passengers for the purposes of prostitution. She was quite sober at the time. I have not had her in charge be fore. The constable has been / on the beat three weeks. On the way to the cell she said it was true, and hoped I would let her go. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked if he had brought many charges of the kind ? Inspector Holden —Not many. There are great com plaints from the inhabitants. Viscount Raynham asked the magistrate if what she was charged with was an offence, and was informed it was so. Mr. Tyrwhitt—She has never been warned before. She may have been, as she says, waiting for some one. There is no evidence to show she is a prostitute, or been seen walking about there, and without that I shall not act on it. There is no reason to believe the inspector has not told the truth, but it is usual for persons, particularly a woman, to s ay, " I will never do it again." Considering she has never been here before I shall discharge her ; but (ad dressing the defendant) you had better mind, for if you do it again, they will say you have been here before. You are discharged. THAMES. PLUNDERING ♦ SAILOR. —Jane Macdonald, a woman. about 30 years of age, and well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Yardley, chg.rged with stealing a silver watch and 178. in silver, the property and monies of a Scotch seaman named David Galbraith. The prosecutor, who has lately been paid off, fell in with the prisoner on Wednesday evening, and, after treat ing her with " lots of gr og, " of which he , partook of a very large share, he accompanied her to a house in Frederick-street, Back Church lane, St. George's-in-the East, which has earned the unenviable appellation of " Tiger Bay," from the desperate character of its inhabi tants. He soon fell asleep, and when he awoke yesterday (Thursday) morning he missed his watch and his money, and immediately communicated his loss to the police. The prisoner was apprehended last night by police-constable H. The watch was valued at £3 10s. Mr. Poole, assistant to Mr. Somerville Telfer, a pawn broker, produced a watch, and said the prisoner pawned it for 4 10s. on quarter day afternoon. Mr. Yardley—Do you know the prisoner ? Witness—l have known her 16 years. Mr. Yardley—You knew she was a prostitute ? Witness—Yes, I believed she was. She has often pawned things at our house. Mr. Yardley—l don't think you ought to take in silver watches of such characters. Galbraith identified the watch as his property. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner was con victed of a street robbery five years ago. Mr. Yardley—That is a long while ago. Roche—l don't think I have seen her since. The prisoner said it was a lie to say that she pawned the watch—a girl called " Little Carrots" pawned the watch. Mr. Poole—l received the watch from your hands. The prisoner after many insinuations and denials said she was guilty of stealing the watch. Mr. Yardley—You are charged with stealing. The prisoner—l am guilty. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months, and said the prosecutor, who had no business in such a place as Frede rick- street, must bear all the loss with the pawnbroker, and upon paying ss. the watch would be delivered to him. PRICES OF CIGARS IN FRANCE.---An imperial de crees fixes the selling price of cigars, whether made in Ha vannah, Manilla, or France The prices vary from 5c (id.), to 50e. each. The same d9ercee authorises the administra tion to sell to consumers, In whole boxes or packets, every description of tobacco or snuff made in the imperial mann faefortes. The small Havannah cigars called "Damns," will continue to be sold at the old price of 10c. till the stock in hand is exhausted. A whisper passed round the table about hands having been seen or felt. Unable to answer for what happened to others, I will speak only of what I observed myself. The table cover was drawn over my knees, as it was with the others. I felt distinctly a twitch, several times repeated, at my knee. It was the sensation of a boy's hand, partly scratching, partly striking and pulling me in play. It went away. Others described the same sensation ; and the celerity with which it frolicked, like Puck, under the table, now at one side and now at another, was sur prising. Soon after, what seemed to be a large hand came under the table cover, and with the fingers clustered to a point, raised it between me and the table. Somewhat too eager to satisfy my curiosity, I seized it, felt it very sensibly, but it went out like air in my grasp. I knew of no analogy in connection with the sense of touch by which I could make the nature of that feeling intel ligible. It was as palpable as any soft substance, velvet, or pulp ; and at the touch it seemed as solid; but pressure reduced it to air. It wns now suggested that one of the party should hold the hand-bell under the table ; which was no sooner done than it was taken away, and after being rung at different points was finally returned, still grader the ta! , le, into the band of another peTgon. While this was going forward the Nytita sheets were seen moving, and gradtially disappeared over the edge of the table, Long afterwards we heard them creas ing and crumpling on the floor, and saw them re turned again to the table ; but there was I - 4a writing upon them. In the same way the towers which lay near the edge were removed. The semblance of what upped a hand, with white, long, and deli cate fingers, rase up slowly in the darkness, and bending over a flower, suddenly vanished with it. This occurred two or three times; and although each appearance was not equally palpable to every person, there was no person who did not see some of them. The flowers were distributed in the man ner in which they had been removed ; a hand, of which the lambent gleam was visible, slowly as cending from beneath the cover, and placing the flower in the hand for which it was intended. In the flower-stands in the adjoining window we could hear geranium blossoms snapped off, which were afterwards thrown to different persons. Still more extraordinary was that which followed, or rather which took plane while we were watching this trans fer of the flowers. Those who had keen eyes, and who were in the best position for catching the light upon the instrument, declared that they saw the accordion in motion. I could not. It was as black as pitch to me. But concentrating my attention on the spot where I supposed it to be, I soon perceived a dark mass rise awkwardly above the edge of the table, and then go down, the instrument emitting a single sound produced by its being struck against the table as it went over. It descended to the floor in silence ; and a quarter of an hour afterwards when we were engaged in obatrving some fresh phenomena, we heard the accordion beginning to play where it lay on the ground. Apart from the wonderful consideration of its being played without hands—no less wonderful was the fact of its being played in a nastily space which would not admit of its being drawn out with the requisite freedom to its full extent. We listened with suspended breath. The air was wild, and full of strange tran sitions ; with a wail of most pathetic sweetness running through it_ The execution was no less remarkable for its delicacy than its power. When the notes swelled in some of the bold passages, the sound rolled through the room with an astounding reverberation ; then, gently subsiding, sank into a strain of divine tendernesa. But it was the close that touched the hearts, and drew the tears of the listeners.—Cornhill _Magazine for August. M. Revoltella, the banker at Trieste, who was implicated in the military frauds committed on the Austrian Government, has been set at liberty, as the bankers Mon dolfo and Brambilla had been before him. The only per sons now undergoing preventive imprisonment for this affair are MM. Richter, Perugia, Liehman, and Prusser. AT DRILL—When the command has been re ceived upon the tympanum, act upon it at once, without pausing to reflect. You will see many intelligent men bring upon themselves the wrath of their sergeant, simply because, in analysing and pondering on his instructions, they have missed the right time for action, and are half a minute or so behind the rest of their company. For in stance, the command is given—" At the word ' Fours' the rear-rank will step smartly off with the left foot, taking a pace to the rear—Fours !" Or, in the sergeant's language, " Squad 'shun? at th' wud Foe the rer-rank will steps ma't lyoff-wi' th' leffut tekkinapesstoth'rare—Fo-o-o-res 1" the last word being uttered in a prolonged and discordant bellow. A reflective gentleman in the rear rank first trans lates this dialect into the ordinary language of civilised life, and then proceeds to ponder on its meaning ; and when he has discovered it, he probably finds himself deserted by his comrades, who have taken up a position a pace behind him, and an object of disgust to the sergeant, who, looking at him more in pity than in anger, says, in a horse-whisper, " Now, Number Three—what, wrong agin !"—All the Year Round. MR. AND MRS. GERMAN REED AND TUE LATE Ma. ROBERT B. Buoucar.—The public will be pleased to learn that Mr. and Mrs. German Reed have kindly agreed to devote the whole of the proceeds of their performance to morrow evening to the fund for the benefit of the wife and family of the late Me. R. B. Brough. We cannot doubt that the house will be filled to overflowing. LOUD CLYDE AND THE CITY FREEDOM.—The sword and freedom of tho oity, owing to the numerous en gagements of the gallant General, cannot be presented to him before the autumn. MOVEMENTS OF GARIBALDI.—We have no news, says a letter from Paris, to depend upcn as to the where abouts of Garibaldi. It is surmised that he has already landed on the mainland, and no one would be surprised to learn from one moment to another that he had reached Naples without striking a blow, and that oven the Royalist army had fraternised with his volunteers. THE FRENCH EXPEDITION TO SYRIA.—At Toulon the quays are overcrowded with cannon and war materiel of every description. Two large transports have been despatched to Algiers for troops, to form part of the French expedition to Syria. The squadron of reserve which is now being prepared for sea is composed of five ships'of the line and two frigates, commanded by Admiral Fourri chow. The screw ship of the line Alexandre, of 90 guns and 900 men, is in the roads of Toulon, ready to get up her steam.

THE ISTHMUS CANAL.—We have seen letters by the English steamer Valetta, arrived on Sunday last from Alexandria, stating that the Viceroy is fiirious at some re monstrances made to him by the British Consul-General regarding the Isthmus canal. The remonstrances are still going on. Rumours were prevalent that the Pacha was again showing a desire for independence, and that the French were encouraging him in this course. It was re ported that a high Turkish official was on his way to Egypt from Constantinople to insist on the works of the canal being discontinued.—Malta Tinzes. CRICKET.—M.C.C. AND GROUND Y.

STRAND THEATRE.—Last evening a smart draw ing-room comedietta, in one act, entitled " Observation and Flirtation," fr m the pen of Mr. Horace Wigan, was pro duced at this theatre with complete success. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gitid at Paris is about per mills pm., and the short exchaVW on London is 25.121 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with th e English Mint price of £3 1 7s. 10 1 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 2-10 t h s per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13 . 41 per sterling. Stand ar d go ld at the English Mint price is therefore nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 00 days' sight is 109 k to 110 per cent., which, when co m p are d w ith th e Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is in favour of England ; but, after making allow ance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the resent rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. Betting.-2 to 1 agst Horror-5 to 2 agst Starke-7 to 2 agst Butterfly_. to 1 agst Sweetsauce. Butterfly was first off, but on passing the Stand Zouave took up the running, with Gustave, Optimist, and High wayman next, Sweetsauce and Starke being the last two. On approaching the turn out of the straight, Starke went through his horses and forced the pace, because his stable ec l l2lVanion, Optimist, was incapable of accomplishing the task, and the second and third were Gustave and Sweet sauce. They had scarcely travelled 100 yards, however, when Zowive bore hay colours in the van, and soon put an interval of a doe,en lengths between himself and his pun. sutra, Gustave going on second, Starke, Highwayman, Horror, and Optimist lying up at his heels, and Butterfly dropping into the extreme rear. As they neared the clump Gustave separated himself from the ruck by an interval of about a coup:toe/lengths, and Zouave's lead began to dimi nis,l4, Horror was however at the side of Gustave on round ing the turn, but did sot keep that position long, dropping behind Starke, who soon passed Gustave, headed Zouave, and in a few strides took up the running, attended by Zouave and Gustave, the others, with the exception of lintterily and Optimist, who were in the rear, going on side by side. Horror was in difficulties on descending the hill, and Sweetsauce went up to Starke, who was beaten at the distance, Gustave becoming second. The race from that point was over, for Sweetsauce cantered away from his op ponents without an effort, and won by ten lengths. Gus.. taVe finished two lengths in advance of Zouave, at whose girths finished Starke. Butterfly was fifth, and Highway man, Horror, and Optimist did not pass the post. The.

Paris A letter bearing the signature of " John A. Walker" gives the following particulars in connec tion with the account of the return last week to Dublin of a batch of the Pope's Irish Brigade, and of their sufferings abroad and at home. The writer puts down the number of these prodigal sons at 116, instead of 69, as stated in the first instance : " One hundred and sixteen of these unfeetu nates presented themselves before Mr. Sullivan, of the Nation newspaper, on Sunday morning last, and demanded an interview, because, as they said, he had led them (by his statements) in his paper) to believe they would receive a large bounty if they joined the Pope's army, 2s. a day pay, and the treatment of gentlemen ; and there fore, when they found out how utterly, how cruelly they had been deceived the moment they touched their native shores, they, penniless and starved as they were, rushed off to the mars who had been the means of misleading them, and who by his mis-statements had induced them to relinquish their good situations and leave their comfortable homes to be treated as brutes, or as one of them said to me, far worse than we treat our dogs.' But Mr. Sullivan would have nothing to say to them, and therefore they were cast—many of them without a farthing in their pockets upon the streets of our city, to pick up a morsel as best they could. One or two of them went to priests for aid, but no aid was given ; the door was shut in their faces; their naked, starved appearance did not move the hearts of those ghostly men who had so shamefully betrayed them ; and the children of the Church,' the Volunteers of the Pope, must find their way home —wherever that is—as best they may. The tale of their sufferings is horrible, audithe treatment they endured so shameful that we ask ourselves in amazement, Can these things be P' One of the young men, whom I knew very well. in Cork, and who held a respectable situation in that city, gave me a, written account to-day of his sufferinge. It is too long to publish, but I will give its substance. They were engaged in Dublin by _Mr, teener ad or the Nation ; 12 s . 6d. was paid them as passage money to Liverpool, where a Father O'Reilly met them, and forwarded them to Hull. Here a Mr. Cooper gave them 10s. Gd. each, and forwarded them as deck passengers to Antwerp, and from the time they left Hull their trials began. On the voyage to Antwerp they were two days and two nights, and were allowed all the time only two meals; and when they got to Antwerp a person named Ba rr y f orwar d e d them to Bel gium. All this time they had but on e mea l a day. They w ere conveyed regularly but rapidly to Rome, kept t rave lli ng four days and nights ' in railway carriages, and when they entered a town, if to sleep, it was a stable or a watch house, upon the floor of which they had to lie, while their food Was black bread and beer, or occasionally maccaroni soup and stinking Ger man sausages. English workhouse paupers are treated as gentlemen in comparison,. because they are at least allowed their three meals a day, and the food is healthy and good, but were neVer allowed more than two, and those in such small quantities, and of such bad quality, that they served rather as emetics than as satisfle:cs of the appetite. But their journey from Macerata to Rome was really the most cruel. 'nee weather was so oppressively hot that they could hardly bear up against it, and not withstanding this they had to march an average of 40 miles a day on one meal of brown bread and bad soup, and as if to add insult to injury, the young man writes,—' A Dr. O'Loughlin, of Waterford, who had a car and a pair of good horses, accompanied us, and urged us on by telling us the Holy Father was waiting for us, and would receive us and treat us like sons." Meanwhile every post-house or hotel we stopped at he got plenty to eat, but never offered one of us a mouthful, while he knew we had not a penny to buy for ourselves. Oh, we have a blessing in store for this man ! " When we arrived at Rome '—l give the young man's own words—' we were marched about four miles to a barrack, where we were thrust into a yard to get our dinner, which turned out to be our supper as well; it consisted. of half a pint of sour wine, and twelve ounces of black bread. We remained in Rome three weeks, and each day was more miserable than its predecessors. Our food was horrible and scanty ; and even this we could not enjoy were we disposed,, for the number of beggars who surrounded us crav ing for a.share of it. I saw fine, strong, able-bodied men who went out with me visibly sink under their sufferings, our treatment was .so bad. When we applied to the priests, they all laughed at us ; they either could not or would not help us. In fact they appear to be both hated and despised by the soldiers and people of Rome, and we found out to our cost what a set of hollow wretches they were. We com plained, and well we might, to the English Con sul ; for we found the English Government was feared in Rome above all others, so much so that we were told if we applied to him, or made any complaint, we should be shot. However, we stole to his house at night, and he kindly, although we knew we had forfeited all claim upon him, helped us. Many of us feigned illness, and some cut their legs to get into hospital, and when there I saw many maim themselves that they might be sent home, for we were determined to suffer any-. thing rather than continue in that horrible service; and home we have been sent, thank God ! But if our journey out was bad, our treat ment at home was far worse. It seemed as if nothing could be bad enough for us, and the worst food too good. We were told in London by the agent there that Mr. Sullivan would pay our passages home from Dublin ; but we were told what we were told from the beginning—a lie. Had it not been for the kindness of Mr. Aitken, of the firm of M'Birney, Collis, and Co., I might have gone to the workhouse for anything either he or the priests to whom I applied cared.' Hear what he says about Rome,---:' Rome is a small place, and its streets are narrow, and so filthy that every one is like a stench-hole, while the beggars that follow you everywhere look so miserable and wretched that they nearly break your heart to hear theta cry for bread, bread,' while the priests are seen everywhere eating, drinking, and smoking, as if they had no thing in the world else to do. Oh! how my heart panted for old Ireland, and how I prayed to be away from this accursed place !" THE POPE'S IRISH THE POPE'S OWN. The following story of one of the Pope's dupes is told in a Dublin paper :—A young gentleman pos sessed of an independent income was induced by the Pope's clerical recruiting officers to join the grand army of invincibles which was to pre serve the Papacy in spite of itself. He was guaranteed a commission, and. dreamt of a marshal's baton. He furnished himself, at the sug gestion of the tempter, with a very handsome uni form, green and gold and so forth, and he left our quays in the confident belief that honours and rank were open to him. Yesterday we had an interview with him, and it was, indeed, difficult to recognise him. He was lean, ague-stricken, feeble, and squalid. He was dressed like a decayed acrobat whose properties' had been seized. As long as he travelled through France and Austria, and his money lasted, he managed to live ; but once he reached the Papal territories he had a more vivid idea of purgatory than any dogmatic theology could give him. At Macerata, a town most appropriately named, his splendid uniform was taken forcibly from him and sold by auction. In exchange he was furnished with an old flannel shirt and an indescri bable pair of knee breeches. That was the uniform of the Pope's Irish brigade. He had reserved a second coat, and was once, unfortunately, tempted to display it, when that, too, was sold by drum head auction. He found that remonstrance only sub jected him to extra drill and threats of the bastinado. The drill was more severe even t han the Austrian, for it was a discipline involving such severe punish ments for disobedience that numbers of Irish n have already been sh ot down b y Lamori ciere , others have been flogged , and may have been sent to till the sands of Algeria. Once he had, with others, to march thirty miles with nothing to eat . or means to procure any. Every day he was given by an g agent of the Pope four o about . the size of a halfpenny, bearing the oimcsonfsPio Non oon one side, and an inscrip tion testifying that its value is one bajoceo on the o ther. Even in the Roman territories little could be got for four bajocci. The recipient was, at the utmost, able to procure some maecaroni anel salt, no very pleasant food to an independent Irishman. His health naturally gave way, and at last he managed to procure his release. The man who . went away in splendid uniform, full of hopes, and in robust health, was landed on Monday on our quays, in the remains of the flannel shirt und knee breeches, so worn down that nobody could identify him. THE MARONITES AND THE DRUSEFI.—A letter from Paris, just received, says the apprelwnsions of th Turkish Government of a general massacre of the Chris tians in Asia Minor in case French troops, land on the coast of Syria appears to be an additional reason for some definite measures to be adopted towards aGo vernment which is confessedly unable to save its subjects from the fury of those bartarians.
