Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps, (SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS K. , FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special perusal of all who are suffermg from the various forms of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

I can also assure you as honestly as I value my good name as a faithful and impartial narrator of Italian matters as they are, that wise and sober men in great numbers, even among those who are known as faithful partisans of the Ducal Government, anticipate the greatest. evils, and even the most tragic scenes, if the restoration of that Go vernment is brought about by such means as are now in contemplation. I have no hesitation in adding that the same and even more startling ex cesses are to be apprehended in Modena, in Bologna, and throughout the Romagna, I must also express my conviction, from old personal knowledge, that there is no people in Italy more humane, gentle, and abhorrent of blood shed than the Parmesans—that nothing is easier than to lead and curb them with a silken thread, so long as their feelings and wishes are not too rudely trampled upon and thwarted; and I can allege, as an incontrovertible proof, the very fact that Count Pallieri has hitherto been able to keep the peace and maintain the most admirable public order, not only without regular armed forces, but even after the departure of the Dragoons or Gendarmes, and other police agents, who were sent to swell the ranks of the mountain Gendar merie of the Sardinian King during the Lombard campaign. All this apparent calm, however. will give way to terrific storms as soon as 'the last hopes of the people are extinguished, and the hated " past" is forced back upon the reluctant multitude. Why the Duchess's Government, in spite of the less unpopular character of the Regent herself, is viewed with such animosity by a vast majority of her subjects is what I hope to be able to make clear after a brief retrospect of the state of this country since the restoration of the Ducal Government in 1814. AUGUST 5. The mission of M. Reiset may remind us Of a certain anecdote in old Helvetian history. At a time in which the forest cantons were at war with Lecerne, the leaders of the Uri forces sent as a scout one of their bravest mountaineers, with a view to explore the nakedness of the enemy's lands. 'lhe valiant youth, accustomed to fair dealing with either friend or foe, went straight up to the gate of Lucerne and sounded his horn as lustily as his lungs would let him ; and when the warriors of Lucerne, peeping out from behind portcullis and drawbridge, challenged him with their " Who goes there P" he shouted in aeply, " The Uri spy" (Der spion von Uri). Count Reiset, blowing his honest trumpet with all his might on his starting from Paris, an nounced to the world that the purpesa of his mission was to make out the real wishes, hopes, and fears of the inhabitants of Central Italy, and, at the same time that he assured them they might lay aside all apprehension of an. armed intervention in behalf of their runaway Sovereigns, to try all his powers of persuasion in the name of his Imperial master, " voluntarily" to submit to the sway of their Princes, and welcome them upon their return. Preceded by all this loud flourish, and by the repu tation, well or ill founded, of being a French Royalist, and a man of very moderate ability, the Count went through Turin, endcayouring in vain to bring Dabormida and his colleagues of the Sar dinian Ministry to put forth their influence so as to,forward the object of his mission. Foiled in this attempt by the firm and dignified behaviour of the Turin Cabinet, he arrived at Parma yesterday morning, had a long interview with Count Pallicri, the Sardinian Governor, and this morning he sum moned before him a few of the " notables" of the town to worm outsuch information as they might be willing to impart. As a matter of course, the. town, alarmed by the great importance attached to the Count's mission, assumed a very decided attitude and gave him " a bit of its mina" in as clear a man ner as the envoy could desire. Ten thousand bills at least were stuck up at every corner of the streets, at every house and shop-door, bearing the inscrip tion, " Viva Vittorio Emmanuele, nostro Re!" Wherever the Count's carriage stopped—at the Go vernor's Palace, at the Town-riall, &c., huge portraits of " our King" were hung up behind, and at each panel of the vehicle ; and as to the " notables," the Count was destitute of all acquaintance in the place, and had to send for such men as were pointed out to him by M. Paltrineri, the French consular agent resident in Parma. This morning, then, at Paltri neri's suggestion, Count Reiset saw the Advocate Torrigiani, Professor Riva, and other perfectly fair and henest men, who told him, what Napoleon 111. full well knows at Paris—viz., that the Duchess has but few secret partisans here, and that even these would, by all arguments and entreaties, deprecate her restoration, as a desperate Measure, fraught with the utmost danger, and sure to lead to such deeds of civil dissension and bloodshed as would put even the tragic events of the 24th of July, 1854, to the blush. Satisfied apparently with this information, Count Reiset leaves to-day at two p.m. for ,Bologna, unwilling, as it seems, to try his luck at Modena. The Emperor's envoy, if, indeed, his mission was intended for a serious one, was utterly void of effect as a means of bringing the stiff•necked Par mesans to reason, and was even a greater failure in so far as it was intended to get an insight into the real state of affairs in this country. I believe, without presumption, I am in a better condition to convey to your readers the bias of the public mind here at the present moment. Not withstanding the real attachment of the Parmesans to the Government of King Victor Emmanuel, and their eager desire to be united to the Kingdom of Northern Italy, it is very clear that the hopes of honest patriots no longer keep pace with their desires. It begins to ooze out that the Sardinian Government has been unable to obtain France's consent to annex either the whole, or even the least part, of this Duchy to Piedmont, and that the whole point at issue is now whether or not the citadel of Piacenza ,not the place) is to receive a Piedmontese garrison. The Parmesans are there fore not unjustly indignant against the Pied montese authorities, who only a fortnight ago so lemnly asserted that the destinies of the Duchy were cast into one with those of Lombardy at the peace of Villafranca, and that Parma should re main, as it is, annexed to Piedmont ; they are sur prised, and not agreeably - , to see a Piedmontese Governor, an Intendente, 8.:c., continue in the dis charge of their functions, as if no ultimate change were contemplated, while an Imperial French went is despatched all the way from Paris to con vey the 'Emperor's advice—an advice which has nine-tenths of the strength of a threat and down right coercion—to the effect that Parma " ought" to prepare to welcome back the exiled Duchess. The honest partisans of Piedmont in Parma begin to look blank and bewildered ; the most influential of them draw back from a Government which po pular opinion is tempted to charge with double dealing.

Count Pailieri, who is altogether destitute of all public forces, has been in vain soliciting a posse of Gendarmes from his Piedmontese Government, and even a few hun• dred muskets to arm the soundest and best inten tioned part of the National Guard. As it is, only the lowest and most mischievous classes are armed, and their ranks have become more dangerous, owing to the vast influx of volunteers flocking to them from the Sardinian army. Public order has been hitherto maintained almost by a miracle ; it will so continue as long as a spark of hope is, either upon just or false grounds, kept up; but when the cry arises that " all is lost" the Republicans will be sure to have their "fling," ushering in by their mad freaks the reign of terror which must needs mau- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1859. INDIA AND CHINA. By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have re ceived our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 4th of July, and from Hong Kong to the 22d of June. CALCUTTA, JULY 4. The affair of the sth Europeans is over, and the quarrel between the soldiers of the old army and the Government may be considered settled. There was something so comic mixed up wi h the proceed ings of the men at Berhampore, something so utterly bizarre and unexpected in some of their acts, that you will find even officers disposed to treat the mutiny with c intcmpt. It was, however, a serious affair. The regiment was about 600 stro:lg, and had expressed its opinion in the matter of the transfer with offensive clearness. It continued, however, to do duty until the arrival of some de serters from Allahabad, who taunted the men with doing unnecessary duty. Nearly 500 of the men hereupon refused to do any duty whatever, upon which the commanding officer, Major Maitland, ordered the officers to withdraw. This step exas perated the men, as it implied a danger of assassi nation, and they elected officers of their own, one Marshall being chosen colonel, and assisted by a major, two captains, and four sergeants. Major Maitland now withdrew all servants, punkah coolies, rum, and, in fact, everything except rations, which it was impossible to stop without an explo sion. Fortunately for all parties, Marshall turned out a man of some capacity and resolution. He threatened to flog the first man caught looting, and carried his menace into execution. Another man, guilty of disrespect, received 50 lashes, and the regi ment was brought into a state of discipline to which it was entirely unaccustomed. The men played cricket under their officers' noses, but otherwise remained quiet enough, opening, however, a cor respondence with the 6th at Hazareebagh. At last, on the 26th of June, Colonel Kenneth Mac kenzie, Deputy-Adjutant-General—not Colonel Colin Mackenzie, who only went up to pro tect Moorshedabad—arrived with 1,000 men of her Majesty's 99th and the Buffs, and four guns. He placed his men and offered the mutineers 24 hours to consider themselves. If at the expiration of that time they returned to duty, a court of inquiry would be held into their grievances ; if not he should employ fore?. The men, 39 excepted, sub mitted, and the recusants were arre4ed. The court of inquiry is now sitting, but it seems perfectly un derstood that the, men will be simply discharged. I feel very doubtful whether even the ringleaders will be punished. The discharge will apparently be nearly universal. Of 50 recruits at Barrackpore, all (demanded it except two. All the men in the arsenal took it at once, and even the Governor-Ge neral's band declared their resolution to resign.' The sth, it is known, will go en masse, a ad letters begin to come in speaking of discharges by the hundred. We shall, in fact, lose the whole sub stance of the Company's European army, which has thus, like its native comrade, committed suicide. The men calculate on a pleasant voyage to England without work, three months holiday at home, and re-enlistment on fresh bounty. They share, more over, the feeling of dislike to the country, now so lamentably strong among officers, and have been, finally, idle in the tropics for months. The Governor-General has ordered that Thursday, the 28th of July, shall be kept as a day of thanks giving for the restoration of peace in India. There is literally no further news, except that the Supreme Council has been reduced to one man —Sir James Outram. Sir Barnes Peacock has taken his seat in the Supreme Court, Sir B. Frere is still in Scinde, and Mr, Ricketts is away sick at the Neilgherries. Mr. Harrington, member for the North-west has accordingly been called to Council for the nonce--a step almost without a precedent. CHINA. HONG KONG, JUNE 22. The English mail of the 26th of April arrived on the sth inst., a few hours after the departure of the last outward bound steamer. The mail of the 10th of May is now hourly looked for, and the Malabar leaves at two p.m. to-day for Singapore and Galle. We yesterday received telegraphic news from Europe to the 3d of May, brought by the steamer James Bartley, from Calcutta to Singapore, and thence per Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Azoff. From Shanghai we learn that Admiral Hope and the principal part of the fleet had left for the Gulf of Pechelee on the 11th inst., and Mr. Bruce was to follow with the Magicienne and Inflexible on the 15th. The French and American Ministers were to accompany him in the steam frigates Du Chayla and Powhattan, each with steam ten ders. The American Minister, Mr. Ward, had an interview with the Imperial Commissioners, but we understand the British an French En voys declined to enter into any negotiations else where than at Pekin, and avoided an interview which would have been purely ceremonial. Many rumours are afloat as to the reception which the expedition will meet with ; and the Chinese express a fear that it will be unfriendly and lead to warlike operations. We doubt if there is any solid founda tion for this, and are inclined to think that no op position will be shown, although the course of di plomacy may not run so smooth. The news from Cochin China is very unfavourable to the French, who appear to have suffered very severely from climate, and were much in want of reinforcements. The Amanese appear to have be haved with considerable courage and skill, and they had even attacked the French intrenchments, and killed 50 men and one officer before they were re pulsed. The latest accounts, however, state they were desirous of treating for peace, and we doubt if the French, weakened as they are, would reject a good opportunity of retiring with honour and ad vantage. In Hong Kong or Canton no political events of any importance have taken place. Shameen has been selected as the site of the new foreign settlement at Canton. The necessary space is to be filled •in by the Chinese Government, and we believe the cost will be deducted from the in demnity. Trade has been generally dull during the fort night, and imports have only been taken to a small extent, except T cloths, which have been in fair demand. We give sales at both places, and quote Canton rates less 2 per cent. duty paid. Cotton—Sales 3,100 bales Bombay, and 1,030 bales Npdras. P r i ces a re much as before.

Loongkong quoted at 300 dols., No. 1 ; 350 dols., No. 2 ; 330 dols., No. 3. Tea—The small quantity of country teas which remained on the market have been withdrawa for mixing, and transactions have been confined to Tayshan congou and scented teas. For the former especially very high rates have been paid. The higher grades of scented teas most in request, and have ad vanced 11- to 2 taels. There have been no arrivals of new country teas, nor any expected for some time to come, the transit routes being still ob structed. A few small musters of the new crop have been shown, but in flat condition, and no sound opi nion can therefore be formed regarding the teas they represent. Settlements have been confined to Canton teas. Scented orange Pekoe, 15,000 boxes, sold at 25 to 42 taels; peented caper, 14,000 boxes, 181 to 32 taels; Taysham congou, 8,000 half-chests, 24 to 29-3 taels ; Canton gunpowder, 600 boxes, 26 taels; pouchong, 2,000 half-chests, 19 - taels; ditto, 1,230 boxes, 20 taels. One vessel, the Hoang Ho, has sailed for London. Exchange has declined. Bank bills on London, 4s. 100. ; first-class private bills, 4s. 100. ; on Bombay, 2281 rupees per 100 dols. ; on Calcutta, 229 rupees, three days' sight. Bullion—Sycee silver, 5 per cent. pm. ; bar sil ver, 7 per cent. pm. ;- gold leaf, 22,70 c. per tael; gold bar, nominal. Freights—One favourite vessel, the Robin Hood, is loading at £3 10s., but four others are on the berth at £2 to £2 ss. For New York, 7 dole. for general cargo, and 15 dole. for silk. Amoy advices to the 17th inst. contain nothing important. Foochow letters are to the 15th inst. ; a few small sales had been made of imports. Tea'•Great competition had existed, and larger transactions had taken place at an advance of 11 to 2 taels on opening rates. The eagerness to buy was partly caused by anxiety to get away the first ships, three of which sailed on the 10th and 11th inst., and since their departure there has been less animation, and as teas were coming down freely, we may hope to see prices brought to a more rea sonable figure. Of fine tea the supply is said to be small. Very little souchong has yet arrived, but some are of extra fine quality. Pekoes have been sold at very extreme rates for fair quality. Sales—Congou, 27,570 chests, at 27 taels to 37 taels, short, the average being 33.34 taels; Souchong, 200 chests, fair medium, at 30 taels, short; Pekoes, 540 chests, fair medium, at 58 taels to 70 taels, short ; Oolongs, 2,600 half-chests,fair medium, 26.5 taels to 32 taels, short. Stocks—Congou, 8,400 chests ; Pekoe, 260 chests Oolong, 4,400 half-chests. Quotations are as follows :—Congou, fair to common, 23 taels to 29 taels ; ditto, Kaisow kinds, 27 taels to 31 taels ; ditto, other Kaisow, 33 taels to 37 taels ; Souchong, fair medium, 30 taels ; Pekoe, fair to fine, 58 taels to 70 taels ; Oolongs, fair cargo, 26 taels to 28 taels ; ditto, good to fine, 30 taels to 32 taels. The departures have been the Ellen Rodgers on the 10th inst., Fiery Cross and Bacchante on the 11th. Three others are on the berth for London, and plenty of ships in port. Freights, L 4 4s. to £6. For America nothing doing. Shanghai dates are to the 14th inst. Imports show very little change, and the Chinese are very cautious in purchasing, having fears as to the result of the expedition to Pekin. Shirtings—Grays are lc. to 2c. higher ; 64- catties, taels 1.8 8. Whites quoted as before, taels 1.7 to taels 2.2.5. Lead, taels 5.2 per picul. Nail rod iron, 2.5 taels to 3.5 taels. Silk—The most extravagant rates have been paid for the first of the new crop. The market was opened in the country at for Tsatlen, No. 1, 420 taels ; No. 2, 400 taels ; No. 3, 380 taels to 390 taels ; and at Shanghai transactions have taken place at about 5 taels under these rates. About 1,000 bales have been settled and go home by this steamer. Business has been checked by the arrival of the 26th of April mail, and much lower rates must prevail ere business can be done to any great extent, as the above quoted rates show a heavy loss on last London quotations. Tea.—Very little has been done, the quality of the remaining stock being very low. Settlements -3,900 chests common Ho-How congou at 15t. to 18t. and 400 chests Pekoe at 35t. to 45t. Only 1,509 half-chests greens have been settled, and prices are nominal. S s to s c g k r s e — e n .13 chests black, and 5,400 half c ht of new teas have been re elVl° m uste r.; re ceived. The New Era has left r vessels are loading for the sameopoi London,For and America one, vessel has sailed, and one remains on the berth. two Freights are unchanged. The export of tea from China to Great Britain is 60,732,9001 b. against 76,067,0001 b. last season, or a decrease of 15.334,1001 b. for 1858-9. To the United States the export is 29,530,2001 b. against 29,458,6001 b. last year, or an increase of 71,6001 b. The export of silk to Great Britain and Marseilles is 70,903 bales, against 69,080 bales last year, or an increase for the present season of 10,823 bales. Exchange on England has given way, principally in consequence of the unfavourable advicea regard ing silk. Bank bills, six months'sight, 68.6 d. to 6s. 7d., very little done. On Bombay, 305 rs.

THE CALCUTTA MARKET, JULY 2. Telegrams have been received, Thursday, June 22, via Galle, with English news, and Tuesday, June 28, via Galle, conveying intelligence of the loss of the Alma. Produce Market—The fortnight under review has been a very quiet one for exports. Value of almost all articles has aedownward tendency, but buyers keep aloof. • The indigo accounts continue nearly as before. Sugar dull and lower. Saltpetre in less demand at lower prices. A fair business in raw silk, at about 2rs. decline from the highest point. In torahs nothing doing. Oil-seeds dull and declin ing. Jute w ith ou t i nqu iry. Safflower neglected. Hides in fair demand. The Importidaria during the last fortnight be came gradually very quiet and dull. A limited de mand for local consumption, coupled with very un favourable accounts from all the up-country markets, caused a general panic in the minds of all piece goods Calcutta dealers, who, labouring under the impres sion that later in the season—say for the next month or two—the position of the market will be more unsatisfactory, not only kept from further purchases to arrive, but showed considerable ins clination to sell the previously purchased and lately arrived goods at a reduction, being satisfied with little or no profit. The consequence of all these doings was a general fall of prices on all kinds of piece goods, and an expectation that, owing to the very large arrivals of piece goods and yarns, the market will be more Inactive and the prices still lower unless a demand should sprin g u p in the principal up-country markets. Yarn has been ex ceedingly quiet, and, owing to the general cessation of transactions, prices have declined considerably. Metals very dull. Prices nominal. The market for copper continues firm, and a little business has been done in Australian at 49 6. The iron-market is dull, and prices lower. Spelter—Large arrivals have caused rates to recede on our last quotations, Market.--Money continues abundant, an nearly two owns and a half unemployed. In the d M i o t ne i y s calculated that the banks alone hold Bazaar it can be obtained at one or two per cent. below bank rates. The Government, how ever, does net participate in this abundance, and their positioui is believed to be in no way better than it was three months ago. Governmc Int Securities have not ben cfitted greatly by the easy state of the money market. An occa sional but feeble demand from speculators has proved their value about one per cent., but it is doubtful even if this will be maintained, though some improvement is hoped for by holders, if, as it is anticipated, the Bengal Bank will before long reduce the margins on loans and lower the rate of interest. The present rates are about 12.8 per cent. discount for the Five per Cent., and nominally 26 per cent. for the Four per Cents. The new Six and a-Half per Cents. opened at 6-8 per cent. discount. Joint-stock Shares.—The transactions are few, and the market is languid, notwithstanding the lowering of the Bank rate of discount. India gene ral shares maintain their value, and dock shares are wanted at rates above our quotations, but there are no sellers. Ganges shares are wanted, but there are no sellers under 1,800. Tug shares and Bonded Warehouse scrip is at heavy discount. In Coal shares there is little doing. In Burdwan stone shares there is some little inquiry, and Auction shares are at a discount. Exchange.—There has been very little change during the last fortnight in the rates on London. The banks have been sellers at from 2 0=7., to 2 01-, the principal sales have been at the latter rate, and that only to a moderate extent. There have been larger sales of credit bills, at from 2 0 9-16 to 2 0-2-, and a small amount of documentary papers at from 2 0 1 , to 2 01. The amount of business transacted for the mail has altogether been very moderate. On China the rate for the last direct steamer ruled from 225 to 227 per 100 dole. On Bombay, bills at three months' :tight have sold from par to 10 annas premium. Freights.—Since the departure of the last mail the following vessels have been chartered :—Belle of the Sea, for Boston, at our quotation; Sarah Newman, for London, at £2 ss. all round ; Lydia, for Melbourne, at L 2 103. all round.

The affairs of Central Italy, which bore so gloomy an aspect as I contemplated them at a distance, look a hundred times more ominous now I can see them nearer. Parma is in a state of indescribable excitement. Not a fortnight has elapsed since the Sardinian Government, Count Pallieri having re ceived the most distinct instructions and most posi tive assurances flora Count Cavour to that effect (previous to that Minister's resignation), asserted freely before a popular assembly in the main square of the town, attended by more than 10,000 persons, that the Duchy of Parma was, and would remain, by the terms of the peace of Villafranca, annexed to Piedmont. Consistently with this announce ment, when. the Sardinian Government found itself compelled to withdraw its agents and representa tives from Modena, Bologna, and Florence, it still directed Count Pallieri and his subordinate agents to remain at Parma, and wield the supreme power in the name of Victor Emmanuel. All this had the effect of lulling the Parmesans into a state of false security, and of putting Pallieri and the Go vernment in whose name he acted in a false and dangerous position. The sober facts, however, are the following : When the two Emperors agreed upon the terms of the peace of Villafranca, the Austrian monarch obtained from the French autocrat a promise that " his family," that is, the Dukes of Modena and Tuscany, should not be sacrificed. As to the Duchess of Parma, either no stipulation was made, or the Emperor Francis Joseph, indulging a feeling of petty spite against the Duchess for the neutrality she had" dared" to proclaim between the belligerent Powers, expressed himself quite willing that the Duchess of Parma should be left to settle her dif ferences with her .subjects as she best could. Subsequently, as Austria came to a better and closer understanding with France, and the latter had good reasons, whatever they may be, to gratify the former in all its desires, it was settled between the two. high contracting parties that not one mile of territory should be given to Piedmont beyond what was awarded to it at Villafranca—viz., Lom bardy up to the Mincio. More lately, also, it became apparent that, what ever mays . be the motives by which the French Emperor is actuated, he has set his heart on grant ing the Duchess of Parma's earnest and repeated entreaties, by restoring her to her States. The upshot of these new resolutions has been repeatedly and in very clear terms conveyed to the Sardinian Government after Cavour's resignation, and, as tti c . re is no doubt that the annexation of Parma and pi neen za would be productive of far more solid and durable adv.:lntage to Piedmont than even the ces sion of Lornbart:", and as, besides, the Government of King Victor tnussanuel see themselves in the cruel necessity of eating their own words and acknowledging that they hove held out false hopes to the Parmesans, they have been thrown int: the greatest perplexity, and have tried to gain time by a great deal of unworthy shuffling. ' Matters, arc, however, rapidly coming to a crisis; the real truth is by this time known to all who cared to know it; and the Sardinian Government is strongly suspected and even loudly accused of a cruel wish to deprive the Parmesans of their last resource, by preventing them from joining their brethren of Modena and the Romagna, and making their cause one with that of. all Central Italy. In real truth, however, the Sardinian Government are : only confounded and stultified by the dark and crooked policy of higher Powers. Tliey and their agent here, Count Pallieri, than whom there is neither a more honourable nor, under ordinary cir cumstances, a more able man, are plainly at a loss how to act. Their presesst plan is to proceed to a convocation of the comitia, or popular election, directing Pallieri to resign immediately after the promulgation of the decree, that the public suffrage may be said to emanate free from all influence on the part of Piedmont. There is no doubt as to the results of a vote obtained under present circum stances ; it would be almost unanimous in favour of immediate, unconditional, and irrevocable an nexation to Piedmont. My impression, however, is that no time will be allowed for such an appeal to public suffrage ; and that what was quite feasible a fortnight ago, has become almost utterly imprac ticable at the present stage of the crisis. I have told you already that Count Reisset has been sent from Paris to persuade the people of Central Italy to submit to their Este. Of course, a pacific mission of that nature would be void of effect. But in the meantime a French division, 10,000 men strong, has occupied 'Piacenza. I have no doubt we shall have one-half of that force here, if not to-morrow, at least in a very few days. With 6,000 French bayonets to back her, the Duchess will not hesitate to come forth with a pro clamation, appealing to popular suffrage to declare in her favour, and then, under such circumstances, the people's vote will be loud enough in her behalf ; for that she has a party in the country no one need doubt, and that party, which is quiet and invisible enough at the present moment, will take courage in the same measure, as the Moderate Liberal party is disheartened by the display of French force. I beg you to observe, however, that besides the Ducal and the Piedmontese, or Moderate Liberal party, there is also a third party, which is already giving unmistakeable symptoms of its readiness to hatch mischief. This is the Ultra-Liberal, Red Republican, or Mazzini party, the visible and acknowledged head of which is a young, hot-headed advocate, named Ermelonghi. This is the man who was the author of the first abortive revolutionary movement of Parma of the Ist of May last. These men, or the most desperate of them, have been organised into a kind of brotherhood of the dagger ever since the murder of the Duke in 1854, and have had a hand in all the bloody deeds which followed close upon the first assassination for the whole of the follow ing year. These men are now armed, and belon g to the ranks of the National Guards. Their numbers are daily increased by the return of hundreds and thousands of volunteers who have lately broken loose from the Piedmontese regiments in which they had enlisted, and from the various volunteer corps which went out to fight in Lombardy, and which are ex tremely loud in their denunciations of the ill treatment they have met with.at the hands of their Piedmontese officers, and of the "t eason" of which the Sardinian Government is g lty towards he national cause. In short, 1859 threatens to he a rehearsal of all the disorders of 1849, and the down- ~~ ~ -G, (rate de re- oration.

It appears that the dividend for the half-year ending the 30th of June last is to be at the rate of £2 15s. per cent. on the capital stock of the com pany, being equal to the dividend of 2s. 9d. a-share paid at the corresponding period of last year. METROPOLITAN. The half-yearly meeting of this companp was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. W. -Wil kinson in the chair. Mr. HENCHMAN, the secretary, read the report, which stated that after a careful investigation into the merits and position of the company, the corpora tion of London consented to become shareholders to the extent of £200,000, upon the condition that within a limited period the entire share capital of the c .mpany should be b ma fide taken up and paid upon. The directors were of opinion that as six sevenths of the capital of the company had thus been secured they were justified in proceeding with the Deviation Bill, which had recently received the sanction of Parliament. By its provisions, the capital of the company was now £850,000 ; the Great Northern' Company no longer possessed the option to subscribe any portion of the capital ; the new line from King's-cross to Farringa.on-street had been sanctioned, and the portion of the line I from Victoria-street to the Post-office had been abandoned. The directors had still to obtain sub scriptions for the remaining one-seventh of the shares. They believed that the course recommended by the engineer would enable them not only to effect that object, but would insure the execution of the works by responsible parties for a lump sum, and the com pletion of the undertaking within the reduced capi tal of the company. The report of Mr. Fowler, the engineer, stated that the sections of the arch way and other works of the railway, including the chsef stations near Paddington, were ready to be submitted to the inspection of contractors. He proposed that the directors should obtain tenders from certain contractors of high position for the completion of the Works of the raiiway on a gua rantee contract, inclusive of all contingencies. In his opinion the lowest tender should be accepted, but he thought they should wait the termination of the present strike before receiving tenders for the works. The capital account showed that £129,189 had been received, and £54,412 expended, leaving £71,250 in the hands of the Accountant- General, £1,425 in the Royal British Bank, and £2,102 at the banker's. The CHAIRMAN read a letter from the Earl of Shelburne expressing regret that he was unable to attend the meeting, and assuring him that the Great Western Board were most anxiois for the success of the undertaking, and that they might rely on their assistance. He (the Chairman) thought their undertaking would not be propejly appre ciated until it was in operation. Various complica ted accounts had to be settled and arranged, but ho saw nothing to prevent the construction and 'com pletion of the works. He hoped the working men would fairly consider their position, and endeavour to bring the present unfortunate dispute with their employers to an end. It was evident that no work of importance could be com menced until that dispute was settled. He believed that their undertaking was not under stood; it consisted of five miles of railway passing through the heart of London, the capital would be £850,000 in shares, and £280,000 in loans, together £1,130,000. For four miles out of the five miles through which the line passed they would have to pay nothing for_ land, but for the remaining one mile of land and property they would have to pay something like £400,000. The advantage of pass ing under the New-road from King's-cross to Pad dington would save them over £1,000,000, which they would otherwise have had to pay for property in that direction. The city autho:ities had cleared the ground at considerable cost upon which their station near Farring:don-street would be erected. Ile concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. C. PEARSON, as a shareholder, trusted that the Board would come to no decision as to letting the contracts without first consulting the represen tatives of the corporation, or until the full Board was constituted. The CHAIRMAN would only be too glad to hare the advice and assistance of the four gentlemen who were to represent the corporation at the Board, and the sooner they were appointed to that office the better. Mr. J. PARSON, in reply to a question, stated that every shareholder had the option, when half the money was paid up on his shares, to divide each share into two half-shares (A and B), on the principle adopted in the Great Northern Company. The devia tion from the original line would save the company £2.30,000. Their city terminus, near Farringdon street, would consist of about 13 acres of land now lying waste, it being exactly the shape required for a railway terminus. It was found from obser vation that five-eighths of the passenger traffic and seven-eighths of the goods traffic that came to the metropolis went into the city ; and when it was considered that they had 13 acres of land for the station, and eight acres near it in Smithfield, mak ing together 21 Leres available for business, he thought such, facilities must result in great advan tage to the company. He had no doubt the capital would be sufficient for what they contemplated at present. He concluded by seconling the adoption of the report, which Was carried unanimously. Mr. FOWLER, the engineer, in reply to ques tions, stated that on the portion of the line from Farringdon-street to King's-cross there would be no tunnel. The portion of the line under the New-road would form a tunnel ; !but the car riages would be well lighted, and during that part of the journey neither coke nor coal would be used, to cause annoyance to any passenger. He believed the line could be worked throughout successfully and satisfactorily. A junction line would be formed with the Great Northern Railway for the purpose of obtaining access to the Cattle-market. The London and North-Western were now desirous of' having a junction with their line, but formerly they cared nothing about it. On the motion of Mr. PARKES, £1,600 a-year was voted to the directors for their services, to com mence from the Ist of January last, but not to be acted upon until the arrangement with the corpo ration of London was completed. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. COST OF PRINTING PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. — It appears from a return recently issued that the cost of printing reports and papers presented to Parliament by command of her Majesty during the session of 18.58 amounted to L 29,731 Bs. 5d., thus distributed :—War de partment, £2,983 ss. 7d. ; India Board, £2,169 ss. 3d. ; Ad miralty, £2O 13s. 4 d. ; Home - o ffice, £2,174 lls. 10d. ; Colonial-office. £767 Os. 6d. ; Treasury, £3,283 2s. Ild. ; Board of Trade, £6,016 19s. 10d. ; and the Irish Govern ment, £9,541 Is. 3d. This sum of £29,731 Bs. sd. is exclu sive of the printing ordered by the two houses. DIVORCE CAUSES.—From 1833 to 1859 there were about 239 petitions for dissolution of marriage arising out of alleged acts of cruelty and adultery committed previous to the passing of Lord Palmerston's Divorce and Matri monial Causes Act; and since the passing of the Act—i.e., from the 28th of August, 1857, some 118 have been pre sented. The number of petitions for judicial separation merely from 1827 prior to the passing of, the act amounted to 95, and those presented since 1856 to 41 (including' the whole of 1857). From 1834 . to . 1857 there were 10 petitions for nullity of marriage , including one in 1857. The petitions for r estitution of, conjugal rights from 1839 to 1859 were 22, and of these six were presented in 1857, and nine in 1858, against one in 1856 and two in 1855. The number of appli cations for protection of wives' property from 1819 to 1856, was 66, including four in 1856, and five last year. LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointment.— Anxicsty is the greatest obstacle to human happiness ; the prudent pride themselves in adopting measures for avoid ing it—they insure their houses and ships, and the still more thoughtful assure their lives—yet what is lifewithout health? Can pain and enjoyment dwell harmoniously to rether ? The wisest man secures his own well-being ; and in Holloway's remedies finds a perfect and indisputable policy of assurance against most of the diseases by which humanity is assailed. These preparations ward off many an attack, that without them would leave desolation in its track, and cause the heartrent mourners unavailingly to regret that these two policies, Holloway's Pills and Oint ment, were not numbered amongst their household trea sures. tu f i A. es p wi vE t ß h •r o l u s t F, redNirciln—e AeffrneocntegdthbeynunaDuerßousarreyx,tgradoreidiicnioanrys health- • restoring Rev alentaArabica food indigestion (dyspep sia) flatuency, constipation, nervous, bilious and liver com plaints, cough, asthma, consumption and debility th e follow- Mg are not the least remarkable : Cure 32,836. f` Three years' excessive nervousness, with pains in my neck and left arm, and general debility, which rendered my life'very miserable, has been radically removed by Du Barry's health restoring food.
