Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN has committed an un pardonable sin—he is only Governor of Madras, and he has dared to differ from Governor-General Lord CANNING, and not only to differ, but to publish the minute specifying the nature of his differences and the reasons for them. Mr. WILSON'S Finance Scheme had been made public with the imprimatur of the Calcutta Vice Royalty ; on the whole it was approved, and Government Securities improved in value, because the Government showed a determination to raise the required revenue. Some doubt was indeed expressed as to how the new taxes were to be col lected ; it did not seem quite certain that the natives would be easily squeezed, still the native money lenders, who might be presumed to know their countrymen best, bought immediately at a premium, the Government stock which they would hardly look at before. For ourselves we read Mr. WILSON'S speech, and were pleased with it, reserving, of course, our judgment till we should hear both sides of a question on which few Englishmen can affect ready and complete knowledge. The other side has now come to us in a form which we did not certainly expect at the time. We shall not, however, enter much into the question of Sir C. TREVELYAN'S breach of the proprieties. We may confess, till we hear explanations, that it seems very much like the Lord-Lieutenant of Ire land publishing to that excitable country a critique on the budget introduced by her MAJESTY'S Go vernment, and pointing out to Ireland, and thus to the Ministry and his Sovereign, a more excellent way- Sir C. TREVELYAN has been dealt with as Lord ELLENBOROUGH was before him. We shall doubtless soon hear from him his own justification of what he has done. His recall will have the result of putting in his place a man of tried merits, but one far less likely to improve our Indian Administration. The Indian pro-consul s seem indeed to be efficient in proportion to their independence of Calcutta. We all know what Sir JOAN LIWItENCE did when Lord CANNING' was physically unable to interfere with his movemcnts ; and we may be pretty sure that had he not acted thus unfetteredly, his name would not have acquired greater renown than could be conferred by the pc era3e which has been zo jealously deni ed him—refused, lest as a peer he should supersede seine needy lord, by the universal demand to make 0 ' Lord LAWRENCE" our Indian Vicercy, Sir CITA JLLES TREVELYAN also shares this feeling of indep cadence. Hardly had he been seated firmly on the throne of his tetrarchy than he abolished with is stroke of his pen the entire system which used to irritate so greatly the j energetic Sir CHARLES NAPIER—the system of doing everything by writing, and, as if that were not enough, of doing it in duplicate and in tripli cate. Indian business of all kinds was done on a more time-wasting plan than that of our unre formed Chancery proceedings. Sir C. TREVELYAN brought it to something like common sense. The mistake in the present case was that he strained independence into insubordination. We are told that the Calcutta Government, with Mr. WILsoN as their calculating machine, must have better information and more capacity to use it • than Sir CHARLES. That, however, we shall know better about after discussion. At present his minute seems to contain most weighty conside rations, which cannot be answered by merely saying, " they know best at Calcutta." His minute, indeed, may be regarded as the reply to the attacks made by Mr. WILSON on the views ex pressed by him previously to the promulgation of the budget of the Indian Chancellor of the Exchequer. His chief defence at present is that had he protested secretly to Calcutta, he would have sacrificed Madras, and he preferred to sacrifice himself. Sir CHARLES does not seem to think the new taxes—the income tax, license tax, and tobacco tax, necessary. He argues that the debt is not heavy, but 2f to 1 on the revenue, while that of England is about 11 to 1. He would accept the debt as it stands. He denies that the opium re venue is precarious ; it has gone on increasing ever since he knew it, and could hardly fall off sud denly. He also objects to the deficit being accepted at £6,500,000, without some detailed proof of it. He, as responsible for the government of 30,000,000 of the inhabitants of India, thinks he ought to know why they are called on to make good such a deficit. Even admitting it, however, to be correct, he shows that, as the Exchequer balances are £6,000,000 in excess of what they were last year at this time, there is no need for precipitation. He then argues for the policy of reduction of expenditure. Our vast military establishments afford ample scope for this. ' The army now costs £8,519,227 more than it did in the year before the mutiny! This is the source of revenue to which Sir CHARLES would look. His reasons certainly appear conclusive. We have no need now for the vast native army we have again collected—it may, indeed, soon be again a source of danger. Circum stances favour its disbandment, for the price of labour is rising, and the native soldiers would, in large numbers, desire to return to their occupations. At the same time the increased cost of provisions renders the maintenance of the army more expen sive. To disband our native armies is, in fact, to convert tax-consumers into producers and tax payers, with advantage to all. But how will red-tapeism answer the proposal of Sir CHARLES to raise more money in the Madras Presidency, and with less offence, in his own way, than the magnates of Calcutta want to force him to raise in theirs ? The Madras people think it hard to be saddled with additional taxes, and taxes, too, which are annoying to their prejudices, for the cost of a mutiny which they did not share, but contributed aid to suppress. On the proposed plan swarms of harpies will be let loose on the people, while Sir CHARLES says that in Madras a series of well-con sidered reforms are in progress, which, if carried into execution, will change the face of Southern India; and he asserts that, if the people are allowed to pursue their course, the Government of Madras "will undertake to realise, by reduction of expendi ture, tnore than the most sanguine estimates that can be formed of the net revenue derivable from the three proposed taxes in the Presidency." We may conceive how offensive such proposals must be to the hundreds of Europeans who will be affected by them ; and how high authority must kick at being thus openly admonished by a subor dinate, but if the matter comes before the Parlia ment of England, it surely will not be tolerated that good measures should be rejected merely to spare the sensitiveness of the Viceroy and his council at Calcutta. Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN'S recal may be unavoidable; indeed, Mr. BRIGHT stated that ho believed it would be found that he himself so felt the incompatibility of his act, with his position, that he believed he had resigned. There seemed, indeed, an unusually fair disposition towards all parties in the House last night. Mr. WILSON, Sir C. TREVELYAN, the Indian Home Secretary, all received their due share of commen dation. But, we hope, the result will be the triumph of Sir C. TREVELYAN'S policy—that of reducing our vast, our costly, and our dangerous native army, as the best way of balancing Indian revenue and expenditure. There seems to be a curse upon our precious gun boats from first to last—but we hope the last will be very far off. The public will remember that, when these same gun-boats were absolutely wanted, there were none ready. And, what is worse still, none were ordered to be got ready. The demand was still, '° They don't come" to the Baltic, and Sir CHARLES NAPIER, with his splendid fleet, was unable to walk ashore after the Russian coasters. No ; he wrote and wrote home for gun-boats, and was answered, they were being got ready—that they were building, and would be with him in good time. But that good time never came. In fact it was not intended that any boats should bd sent—but yet the boats were being built to save appearances and ward off the growiag public indignation from the Admiralty, of which that eminent civilian, Sir JAMES GEORGE GRAHAM, was the First Lord, and a precious use he made of his position. He wrote public despatches to Sir CHAS. NAPIER, to do certain acts, and also wrote private despatches forbidding him to do anything of the sort, or injunctions to that effect—the one being intended to neutralise the other ! This game went on to the mortification of the one and to the perfect mystification of the other, who played at hide-and-seek, or do and undo, to his own admired satisfaction. Well, the end of the matter was—that no gunboats were sent for fear that, by their agency, the Russian fleet might be destroyed; and such a direful contingency was very much to be deprecated by our German friends, who acted behind the scenes, and pulled every string in aid of the Fatherland and its Russian kindred blood. In fact, so far was the underhand complicity carried, that the neutral Prussian was made the daily messenger of mutual commu nication for the benefit of the Russian enemy. Nay, more, even the French, our magnanimous ally, was so far tutored or intrigued into the secret that the combined Admirals in the Baltic were made to disagree on every point of attack much in the same way as in the Black Sea. The fleet in Cronstadt must not be sacrificed any more than Odessa be bombarded—save at a very saving distance. Now all this grand war ended as it began, iu smoke—and England had to pay the piper for playing to the tune of " Over the water to CHARLIE !" for not paying the Russians their due reward. In fact, there - was " no luck" about the war at all. It was a make-believe all through; and peace was abruptly patched up just as the gunboats were ready for finishing the war with credit and with profit. No wonder, then, that the public should feel sore at the . extravagance of cost in our dockyards and all that relates to the navy. Everything seems to be made a job of for some private political purpose, and mystery reigns enveloped in its grand obscure, never to be found out, till too late for any present punishment or future obloquy, when the perpetra tors are beyond account. People shrug their shoulders, and exclaim that this is " too bad"—and there the matter rests. But what shall we say of these precious gun boats ? What, indeed !—" thus bad begins, but worse remains behind." These same gunboats were " got up," as the saying is, in a dreadful hurry, just in order to be too late. So many were wanted that our own-Government yards could not produce them in ten years, and so all the most emi nent _private yards in the kingdom were pressed into the service to hasten their equipment. There was no time to be lost, and no ex pense spared—the sooner done the better, and the sooner paid of course. After having wasted two years before the order was given, it was found that the private yards were not pro vided with seasoned timber. "No matter " was the reply—" build them, build them of any wood you have," and so they were built of green wood—cut down but yesterday. Well that was considered good enough for vessels to be sunk to the bottom, as it was calculated they would be, by the " long Russian guns," of which some of our great commanders seemed to have a very respectful apprehension. And what has been the consequence of all this "much to do about nothing P" Just what might have been expected. The gunboats were not to be sacrificed to the Russians, but, doomed to a more inglorious fate, they were hung up on dry land to encounter the , dry rot. And there they rot to their heart's content —_a wonder and a shame to our pockets' forlorn loss. And this is the way the money goes—all stir but little or no progress. Well might the House of Commons stare at the tardy—unwilling confession of the gallant Secretary of the Ad ' miralfy, who hoped matters were not so bad as reported—with fancy bolt heads of cop per outside and iron deceivers within—much re sembling the fronts of brass and feet of clay. Already, on Thursday evening, we took occasion to comment in general terms upon the results of the latest examination of candidates for matricula tion in the London University—results made known upon the preceding forenoon at Burlington House, Piccadilly. We are induced to revert for a few moments to this deeply interesting scholastic exhi bition, for the purpose simply of directing attention more particularly to some of the remarks uttered upon that occasion by the accomplished President of the Council, the Earl GRANVILLE. One portion of the noble lord's harangue it was hardly possible, with a remembrance of his own recent domestic affliction, to listen to without a respectful sympathy for the emotions which were there and then invo luntarily evidenced. It was in a subsequent part of his address, Lord GRANVILLE, forgetting for a while his individual sorrows, recovered somewhat of his constitutional vivacity. It was in this mood, for example, that he made the humorous acknow ledgment, that "in addressing them last year he had the great advantage of being in the Op position ; but that now ho was connected with the Government." Adding, quite frankly—" He felt that it was easier to criticise than to perform." In testimony of which he went on at once to avow in a sort of loud-whispered confession—" Last year he found fault with the Government for not having sufficiently compre hensive views with regard to this University, and for not providing the members with a better habitation, and also not giving them a Parlia mentary representative." And further he said, " On that occasion he quoted COWLEY'S descrip tion of what a university should be, with its quad rangles, halls, chapels, dining•rooms, &c., but now he was compelled to descend from the poetic region of COWLEY to the prosaic dulness of Downing street." If the rest of Lord GRANVILLE'S colleagues would but speak out as frankly and confidentially to the public, what wonderful confessions and reve lations we should have ! But as if in this instance the President of the Council had not been suffi ciently explicit in his confidences, he added imme diately after the burst of laughter that followed his last apologetic acknowledgment that, " Owing to his connection with the Government, he was now unable to answer as to what the nature and extent of their future habitation would be." Observing that with respect to the representation, while he for his ,n,wn part would much have pre ferred double representation, he assured his hearers that " the pledge of the Go vernmenj as to one member would be fulfilled, and had been provided for in the Reform Bill." Adding; " he felt considerable satisfaction in the circumstance that during the protracted debates on the Reform Bill no objection whatever had been taken to the proposal to have a representative in Parliament for the London University." Lord GRANVILLE further trusted, he said, " that Par liament would settle the long agitated question in the present session." While speaking thus plainly as to his hopes and expectations as to the destined share of the London University in our system of Parliamentary representation, Lord GRANVILLE admitted that " it would be imprudent in him to count the one chicken before it was hatched, or in any way interfere with the choice which the Uni versity might make in the selection of its repre sentative ; but he hoped," he said, " that their choice wonld be uninfluenced by party spirit, and that they would send to the House of Commons a man who would not only be qualified to promote local interests, but also those of literature and science." So that, literally, while disclaiming any intention to count the one chicken before it was hatched, Lord GRANVILLE was, nevertheless, naively speculating as to the colour of its plumage, as to the scope of its song, and, though itself not yet hatched, as to its own after-capacity for incubation THE ___sllN, LONDON, SATIIRDAY_ ETENINa,._ MAY _ 12, 1860: PAPER DUTY BILL. The second reading of the Paper Duty Bill will be moved in the House of Lords on Monday, the 21st inst., by Earl Granville. Lord Monteaglc will move that it be read a second time that day six months. POST OFFICE NOTICE.—The Duke of Argyll has decided, with the concurrence of the Government, to re constitute the committee of inquiry into the arrangements of the circulation department by forming a committee, con sisting partly of officers of this department and partly of officers of the Treasury, and to refer to it for full considera • tion the memorials which have been or may be sent in by the sorters, letter-carriers, &c. The committee will be formed and will meet without delay. The Du:ie of Argyll must impress upon the men the duty if abstaining from any proceedings tending to agitation, or inconsistent with the rules of the department in respect of the form in which their representation should be brought before him.

THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.—The following resolution appears on the books of the Boston Corporation for the year 1545 :—" Resolved, that no beer shall be drunk that has not been brewed in the borough." We fancy that some of our modern topers would not relish the re-enact ment of this restriction of our forefathers of 300 years ago. It was certainly carrying out the spirit of prot?ction with a vengeance.—Stafford Mercury. BEI? 31.4JESTY'S JUVENILE BALL. The Queen gave a child's bell last evening at Bucking ham Palace. The juveniles honoured with invitations were between 6 and 14 years of age, and were accompanied by their parents or relatives. About 260 were invited. The company began to arrive at half-past eight o'clock, and assembled in the Picture Gallery, Green Drawing Room, and Promenade Gallery, Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary arrived soon after nine o'clock, and were conducted to the White Drawing Room, whereher Majesty received her illustrious guests. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and the. Duke and Duchess d'Aumale were also present. The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by the Pzincess Alice, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, the Prin cesses Helena, Louisa, and Beatrice, the Duchess of Cam bridge, the Princess Mary, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke de Nemours, the Princess Marguerite, the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, the Prince and Princess of Leiningen, were conducted about nine o'clock to the Banquetting Room, which was prepared for dancing.

The Princess Alice wore a black dress of crape and tulle over black silk, trimmed with bugles. Her royal highness's headdress was formed of a wreath of lilies of the valley and canielias ; ornaments, diamonds. The Princesses Helena, Louisa, and Beatrice, wore dresses of white tulle over glace silk, trimmed with lilies of the valley. Their royal highnesses wore wreaths of the same. The Princess Mary of Cambridge wore a black tulle dress, the upper skirt festooned with large bows of ribbon, trimmed se ith jet ; the corsage to correspond ; diamond necklace, earriNgs, and stomacher. Her royal highness's headdress was composed of wreaths of cherries, with dia mond ornaments, The Queen's private band was in attendance, and dancing commenced immediately after the entrance of her Majesty and the illustrious party. His Excellency the Count Persigny arrived ;A Albert-gate House on Thursday, from Paris. His Excellency Chevalier Canofari and Madame Canofati have arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jerreyn street, from Paris. The Earl and Countess of Lisburne and Lady Elizabeth Vaughan have arrived at Fenton's Hotel, from Crosswood, South Wales. The •Earl and Countess Vane have arrived in town. His lordship has taken a residence at Prince's-gate for the season. Lord and Lady Hawke and family have arrived at the West Cliff Hotel, Folkestone. Mr. and Mrs. Tolle macho have left the same establishment for the Continent. The Bishop of Durham and the Misses Longley have arrived in Arlington-street for the season. THE NEW ARCHBISHOP OF YORK.—The Right Rev. Charles Thomas Longley, Bishop of Durham, who has been nominated to the Archbishopric of York, rendered vacant by the death of the Most Rev. Dr. Musgrave, was born at Rochester in 1794. He was educated at Westmin ster School, whence he proceeded to Christ Church, Oxford, where he gained a studentship in 1812. In 1815 he took his degree of Bachelor of Arts, being first class in classics, and was public tutor of Christ Church from 1818 until 1828. Prior to his resignation of the tutorship--namely, . _ _ in 1827—he was presented by Mr. C. B. Wall, the then patron, to the rectory of West Tytherley, near Stockbridge, Hampshire, which he held until 1829, when he was ap pointed to the head-mastership of Harrow School. This appointment he held until 1836, in which year the act was passed constituting the new Bishopric of Ripon. Dr. Longley was appointed the first bishop, and held the bishopric until 1856, when, upon the resignation of Bishop Maltby, he was translated to the Bishopric of Durham. The new archbishDp is the son of Mr. John Longley, late Recorder of Rochester, and subsequently a magistrate of the Thames Police-court. He married, in 1831, the Hon. Caroline, eldest daughter of the first Lord Congleton. THE VOCAL ASSOCIATION.—At the performance of the Vocal Association, on Wednesday evening, the 16th inst., at St. James's-hall, the principal artists from her Majesty's Theatre will appear by the kind permission of E. T. Smith, Esq. The foreign journals state that a new monetary unit has been t stablished for the province of Finland, called a " marka," and worth one-fourth of a silver rouble. A telegram from Madrid states that money is at present abundant in that capital, and that the National Bank are expected shortly to reduce their rate of discount from 5 to 41 per cent. It is stated that the amount thus far ascertained to have been paid by Pullinger to the person o aside the Stock Exchange who carried on some of his operations, and who is since deceased, is £57,000. THE LANDED ESTATES COURT OF IRELAND.-- Upwards of £40,000 worth of property was sold yesterday before Judge Dobbs. It is reported that a groat number of petitions for sales are under consideration, and that there is every prospect of renewed activity in the land-market before the close of the current year. TUE IRIsH LAW ADVISER.—The Evening Post states that Mr. Sergeant Lawsou—overwhelmed by the extent of his professio.Bl practice—is about to resign the post of Law Adviser to the Irish Government. It is re ported that Mr. De Maleyns, Q.C., is to be the successor of the learned sergeant. The appointment would be a good one. It will be seen by the Gazette of last evening that Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey has been appointed to the command of the 3d Buffs, and Major-General Sir J. E. Wilmot Inglis to the command of the 32d Regiment. Nothing can be more appropriate than the appointment of General Inglis to the command of the 32d, the gallant regi ment whose last and greatest exploit was the defence of Lucknow, under the command of its new colonel ; but the appointment :of the Hon. Charles Grey to the' gallant Buffs, though equally intelligible, does not seem equally appropriate. Unless the Army List does the officer great injustice, he has never had the advantage of any more dis tinguished service than is to be seen in Hyde Park or at Windsor, as Equerry to the Queen.—Times. Sir Henry George Ward has been appointed to succeed Sir Charles Trevelyan as Governor of Madras. The career of Sir Henry 'Ward will be familiar to many of our readers. The son of the late Robert Plumer Ward, whose Memoirs were published some years since, Sir H. Wald was first employed in diplomacy under Mr. Canning, and was appo i n t e d Minister Plenipotentiary to acknowledge the Mexican Republic. He was then for many years in Par liament, always conspicuous on the Liberal side, and espe cially distinguished as the mover of the resolutions upon the Irish Church, which is 1834 led to the secession of a portion of the Whig Ministry. Sir H. Wa r d was S ecre t ary to the Admiralty in Lord John,Russell's Government from 1846 to 1849, in which latter year he was appointed Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. He held this office until 1855, when he was appointed Governor of Cey lon. In the lonian Islands he had to suppress an insurrec- - tion provoked by sympathisers from Greece, and the seve rity with which he quelled a rebellion that seemed formid able at a time of successful revolt provoked much discus sion in Parliament, though it was not officia ly condemned. In Ceylon, however, his administration has been most sue c•issful, and gives promise of an equally prosperous reign in the nearest Presidency of the neighbouring continent.— Times. THE LATE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.—On Thurs day the Liverpool borough coroner opened an inquiry into the death of a lad named Patrick Mealey, who it was al leged had been murdered by two youths named William M'Millan and James Halloran. It appeared that the de ceased was posing along Bispham-street, on Wednesday night week, when he was set upon by M'Millan and Hal loran, both of whom repeatedly struck Mealey on the head and face with a poker until he became senseless. He was left lying in the street until some people passing along had him taken up and conveyed to the residence of his mother, a widow. The poor fellow lingered until Saturday night, when he died. The above facts were corroborated by several witnesses. Dr. Warburton, who had made a post mortem examination of the body, stated that he found several wounds on the head and face ; the skull was fractured near the vertex, and there was extravasation of blood upon the scalp. In his opinion death was caused by concussion of the brain, the result of external violence. After a short consultation the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful mur der" against William M'Millan and James Halloran, who were then committed for trial at the next South Lanca shire assizes. SUSPICIOUS OCCURRENCE AT PETERBOROUGII. Considerable excitement has been caused in this city and neighbourhood by the proceedings of a coroner's jury, which has hold three sittings during the week. It was summoned to inquire into the death of a fine young . woman, 18 years of age, named Mary Jane Pope. She is the daughter of respectable parents, and on Sunday attended the Baptist Chapel. D ur i ng the service she was taken ill, lost the use of her legs, and was convulsed. Being removed home, a surgeon was sent for, and afterwards a physician. Both these gentlemen came to inde e nd e nt conclusions that the girl had been poisoned. She, however, denied having taken anything. Death ensued in a short time after the seizure, and the symptoms of the attack and he rigidity which set in directly after death confirming the suspicions of poisoning, an inquest was held. The post mortem examination strengthened the opinion of the medi cal gentlemen, and led them to conclude that she had died from the effects of strychnine. It was ascertained that on Saturday deceased purchased sixpennyworth of Buttlo's vermin powder, but no motive for suicide seems to exist. From the evidence given to the jury it appears that in 1854 an infant of the same family died suddenly of convulsions, that in April last another child died after a short illness showing similar symptoms, and that last week, a boy, eight years of age, was seized with convulsions exactly corre sponding to those under which the deceased girl labou re d ; but prompt me di ca l ass i s t ance b e i ng o btained, he recovered. It is also known that of a family of eleven children four only are now living. Under these circumstances the co roner and jury have submitted the intestines and other por tions of the body of Mary Pope to Dr. Letheby for analysis, and the inquest is adjourned for a week. THE ABERDEEN FAILITRE.—At the meeting of the creditors of the firm of John and Anthony Blaikio, ad vocates, held in the Royal Hotel, Aberdeen, on Wednesday, Mr. Archibald l3orthwick, C.A., Edinburgh, was appointed trustee upon the sequestrated estate. Messrs. Newall Bur net, advocate, Horn, of Pitinedden, and W. Adamson, sharebroker, Aberdeen, were at the same time named as the commissioners. Several claims were given in, but no approximation Nta.-i made as to the actual state of affairs.— Seotmtait. THE ESCAFt FROM NEWCASTLE GAOL.— A meet ing- of magistrates was held at the Manors' Police Station, at I o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, when the case of the late escape from gaol again came under their consideration. Mr. Wood, the deputy-gOvernor, was suspended from his office for a period of one week after the expiration of the time far which he was first suspended, and the turnkey, Porter, was dismissed from his office. Mr. Robins, the new governor, arrived at the gaol on Monday, and on the following day ho relieved Mr. Sabbage of the onerous duties which, since the escape of Douglas, that gentleman has assiduously performed.—Newcastle Chronicle, LATEST N E W 6, The following telegrams were received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, MAY 12. The Illoniteur announces that in yesterday's sitting of the Leglislative body the report on the new tariff for sugar and coffee was made to the Chamber by the committee which had examined it. TURIN, MAY 11. It is asserted that the vessels composing General Garibaldi's expedition have touched at Talmona, in Tuscany, in order to take in provisions, to put the combatants in better condition, and to add some officers to their ranks. The vessels then set out again. GENOA, MAY 11. Advices have been received from Messina to the 7th instant, Palermo to the 6th instant, and Naples to the Bth instant. It was rumoured that an insurrectionary move ment had taken place in Calabria, to which pro vince troops had been sent. The insurrection in Sicily was said to have spread from Cefalu to Mar sala. Palermo and Messina were destitute of pro visions, and a steamboat service had been organised by Government for the supply of necessaries to those places. Disembarkations of insurgents coming from different parts of Sicily and Calabria had taken place at Trapani. Naples was tranquil, but little confidence prevailed. TURIN, MAY 11. The fall in the public funds continue. Sardinian Rente is quoted to-day at 82f. 50e. for cash. Great perplexity prevails concerning the issue of General Garibaldi's expedition. DRESDEN, MAY 11. The Official Dresden Journal, in reference to the news published by the Nurnberger Correspondenten, states that the Government of Saxony has received no overtures on the part of France respecting the interior affairs of Germany ; and adds, it has reason to believe that none have been made to other German governments. ROME, MAY 10. Nothing justifies the reports again in circulation of an approaching resignation of CardinalAntonelli, whose ministerial position remains unshaken. Some members of the Sacred College have sug gested to the Pope the convocation of an assembly at Rome, in which every Catholic power should be represented by some political or administrative person of note. This assembly, after examining the real state of affairs in the Papal States, would point out what reforms could be carried out and what could not. The Holy Father appears much pleased with the idea, which, if realised, would make the Catholic world co-operate in the administration of the States of the Church. CHINA. SHANGHAI, VIA TRIESTE, MARCH 23. The import trade is paralysed, and virtually sus pended in consequence of the movements of the rebels, who are reported to have taken Hangchaw. It is also rumoured that a collision has taken place between the Russians and Chinese on the frontier. Silk, No. 3 Tsatla, 415 to 425 taels. Settlements in fortnight, 2,800 bales.

GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION. A letter from Turin, dated May 9, says:—The Diritto of this morning publishes the following document, which will be read with some interest in England " Genoa, May 5. " My dear Bertani,—As I am once more about to take a share in the events which are to decide the destinies of the country, I leave the ensuing direc tions with you : " To collect all the means you may obtain, to aid us in our enterprise ; to give the Italians to understand that if we receive proper assist ance Italy will be made in a short time, and with little cost ; but that a few barren subscrip tioNs will not acquit them of their duty; that that part of Italy which is free to-day should have, not 100,000, but 500,000 men under arms, the latter number being by no means out of proportion with the population ; that it is a pro portion attained even by States which have not their independence to secure by conquest. Let Italy have such an army, and she will have no need of foreign masters, sure to eat her up piecemeal under the pretence of freeing her ; that wherever there are Italians fighting against their oppressors, there all brave men should be sent, supplying them with means for the journey ; that the Sicilian in surrection should be aided, not in Sicily alone, but wherever her enemies may be met. " I never advised this Sicilian movement ; but, since these brethren of ours are fighting, I deemed it my duty to go to their rescue. " Our war-cry will always be, Italy and Victor Emmanuel ! ' I hope even at this juncture the Italian banner will be borne out unscatched.—Yours, affectionately, "G. GARIBALDI." This letter is in better taste than many of the guerillero's late effusions. It is not unlikely Sicily or the Southern Kingdom will offer that brave man a field, enabling him to retrieve the fine character which Parliamentary and matrimonial mishaps have partly, though not justly, damaged. Garibaldi is no man to be measured by the common standard. What would be more rashness and stark-madness in another is no more than faith in his good star in him. He is not made for fine speeches or even written addresses, but his mere impulse in action is better than other men's caution and forethought. He will in all probability be beaten in all the constituencies in which his friends put up his name against Ministerial candidates, for Ca your or Cavour's friends are not willing to be again brought into the lists with so uncouth and uncompromising a debater. Be tween Italy's champion, who has nothing to give for her but a charmed life, and is ready to risk it in the most desperate encounters, and Italy's diplomatist, who fitters himself he can beat all her enemies by outwitting them, there can be nothing in common. By this time they may be looked upon as irrecon cilable enemies, and I am even told, though I will never believe it, that the utmost has been done to estrange the heart of King Victor Emmanuel from his self-sacrificing leader of the forlorn hope, by rousing into the upright, but perhaps over-confiding mind of the King, a jealousy of the Nizzaid adven turer akin to the feelings of Stiul for young David. - ~,, There are those who would even assure me that the King evinced some vexation, as he proceeded on his ovations through Central Italy, whenever the name of the hero of Varese happened to be coupled in the people's outcry with that of the conqueror of San Martino. I will never think so meanly of Victor Emmanuel, I say, and at any rate it is very clear from the above letter that Garibaldi does not reci procate the feeling, and, whatever may be his frame of mind with respect to the King's advisers, he still is, and I believe will ever be, stanch to the King. The evening papers publish another proclama tion of Garibaldi : " Italian Soldiers !—For some centuries the want of concord and discipline led to grievous calamities for our country. Today nothing can be more ad mirable than the unanimity which breaths through the whole population, from the Alps to Sicily. Our discipline leaves yet something for us to wish, although both of discipline and valour you gave such instances as may enable the nation to re= organ ise itself, and appear in a compact unity to those who would enslave it. " Persevere in your union, Italian youths ! ye glorious remnants of the battles fought for your country ! Remember that in the North (Venetia) we have still enemies and enslaved brethren ; and that the people in the South, when rid of the Pope and the Bourbon, will need your well•organised martial example to prepare for greater conflicts. "In the name of the reviving country I recom mend, therefore, the youth whose presence fills the ranks of our brave army not to fall away from those ranks, but rather to rally closer under their able commanders, and that Victor, whose bravery may be staggered for one moment by pusillanimous ad visers, hut will soon resume his ascendancy, and taking the lead once more, show the way to a cer tain and final victory. " GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI." The tone in which Garibaldi spoke to those who urged upon him the desperate character of his enter prise touched upon that sublimity which may seem akin to madness. To those who called his attention to the chances of meeting with the Neapolitan cruisers he talked about the feasibility of boarding the Neapolitan frigates, and taking possession of them one after another. His most prudent adviser, Medici, did not join him. I saw him walking with Malenchini this afternoon under the Turin colon nades. There was a rumour to-day that Garibaldi had landed at Telamone, near Piombino, on the Tuscan coast. He is evidently beating about, so as to bewilder with his movements and lead astray the Neapolitan navy. The Steele publishes a letter from M. Joseph Ricciardi, a friend of Garibaldi, giving :the follow ing particulars respecting the departure of the ex pedition to Sicily : " Genoa, May 8. " The evening before last, I and several others were at General Garibaldi's, at Quarto, and at 10 o'clock we took boats to go on board the steamers Piemonte and LOmbardo, which were to arrive from Genoa with the principal body of the expedi tion. Five hours passed without any vessel coming in sight, and it was not till three in the morn ing that the two steamers at last made their ap pearance, and the embarkation took place. Not withstanding my delicate health, and in spite of General Garibaldi's counsels, I had persisted in my determination to go with him, for the very simple reason that my name is subscribed to the pro clamations addressed to the inhabitants of the kingdom of Naples ; but five hours passed in the open air during a very cold night, and without a cloak, brought back all my pains, and, to my great chagrin, I was obliged to return to Genoa, whence I now address you. I know that the expe dition sailed yesterday morning at seven, an d by this time it must have joined the Giglio, man ned by a good numbe r o f reso l u t e men , and laden with arms and ammunition, procured at Leghorn and at Elba. From wh a t I was able to see on board the Lombardo, I estimate at about 1,200 the number of volunteers who have responded to Garibaldi's call. I even noticed a few soldiers and some officers in uniform. I will tell you on this subject that it was found necessary to confine the garrison of Genoa to their barracks to prevent the soldiers joining the expedition in such numbers as to give the affair a very serious aspect. Such is the confidence inspired by Garibaldi that no one doubts of the success of the glorious enterprise on which the fate of Italy depends. I authorise you to publish all the details here given, even with my signature. There is some question of a second ex pedition, but I think the first will suffice." The Opinione Nationale also gives some particu lars contained in a letter which it had received : "It was, says an eye-witness, and the author of this letter, a deeply affecting scene. They as sembled in a beautiful night at a villa on the sea shore, at some leagues from Genoa. They were, I am told, about 2,000 in number, but what is cer tain is that all the elleys of the immense garden were filled with groups of volunteers, who moved down to the beach laden with muskets and cases of ammunition, which they placed on board boats for conveyance to the vessels in the offing, and all this without a word being spoken, except a few neces sary orders given almost in a whisper. Every one was serious ; there were no cries, none of the en thusiasm of parade, but on every countenance the expression of strong energy and deep con viction. It is only when at sea that Garibaldi will issue his orders. He must have had some brilliant plan in his head, which he has not hitherto revealed to any one, for his countenance was radiant. They left some hours after midnight, favoured by th• most delightful weather." The same letter states that Garibaldi takes with him his only son, regretting, as he said, that he had not ten, in order to take them all. George Manin, son of the President of the Republic of Venice, also accompanies him, and will be specially attached to his person. The Espero of Turin, speaking of the men who have joined Garibaldi in his expedition, says Some of them are dressed in red blouses and felt hats like those worn in the Tyrol ; others have long grey frock-coats. There are 150 besaglieri among them, armed with the best rifles that could be obtained. Most of these volunteers have made the last campaigns in Italy. MM. Nino Bixio and Sirtori have joined the expedition." A letter from Genoa of the 7th, in the Indepen dunce, says : " The soldiers of the general seized in the road sted of Genoa two steamers belonging to Rubattino and Co., of that port—the Piemonte and the Lom bardo—and when once out of reach proceeded to pick up the volunteers, who, in obedience to orders given some days before, were waiting in different parts on the coast. The di rec t or of the company immediately made a protest in due form. Yesterday orders arrived from Turin by telegraph that the coasts should be watched, and that all the arms which could be found should be seized; but the volunteers had already embarked and had taken with them a considerable number of muskets, which had previously been deposited at a place near Genoa. It is rumoured that a third steamer, the Sardegna, of the same company, was stopped on its return from Cagliari, near Genoa, by a small steamer of Leghorn, called the Giglio, on board of which were volunteers, with a quantity of ammunition ; and that the men quietly took possession of the Sar degna, a larger vessel than theirs, put the passei gers, crew, and mails on board the Giglio, and afterwards proceeded towards Sicily."
