LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPT. 28, 180. The intellectual vigour and activity of him whom Lord ARDMILLAN called the other day at Glasgow, without one particle of extravagance or exaggera tion, " the foremost man of his country and of his age," Lord BROUGHAM, appears, in truth, to be un abated and inexhaustible. How many years ago is it since the Rev. SYDNEY SMITH broke forth upon a memorable occasion into an apostrophy of wondering admiration of the labours of the " gi gantic BROUGHMAN " Is it not now more than three and thirty years since TnomAs MooRE, in his biography of SHERIDAN, first designated the intel lect of BROUGHAM " encyclopaedic ?" Has not the mere enumeration of his achievements as a Law Reformer accumulated long before this into a monumentum ere perennius? Let Sir EARDLEY %YILMOT'S ponderous volume suffice as an answer to this last enquiry. The illustrious and venerable ex-Chancellor has, years and years back, earned, if any living can be said to have done so, that hon ourable immunity from further toil which is sym bolised in the phrase of reposing upon the laurels of a reputation. Lord BROUGHAM, in effect, having won the unfading and bloodless laurels of many distinct, and every one of them beneficent, humanising reputations. Philosopher, orator, statesman, lawgiver, critic, man of letters, philanthropist, he has established for himself unnumbered claims, each of them uni versally and ungrudgingly recognised, upon the gratitude, the affection, and the admiration of the millions of his fellow-countrymen. It was not, therefore, in the least imaginable iota, in the lan= guage of hyperbole that Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, at Glasgow, on the 24th of the present month of Sep tember, said to those who had just listened to the inaugural address of the noble and learned lord in his capacity as President of the Social Science As sociation—" I am sure you must all feel with me that it is a most striking, a most impressive sight to see that great and illustrious man, with unimpaired vigour of intellect, with undiminished force and beauty of language, with benevolence and goodwill to mankind, which seem only to be increased by age and experience, still dovoting his energies to the promotion of those measures for the welfare of mankind, which for a period longer than any man in this room can recollect, without regard to colour or to race, has been a leading characteristic of his life , " (Immense cheering.) The acclamations of the assemblage being renewed with yet greater fervour when the speaker added—" In conclusion, let Me 5.1 y, long may he be spared to us to con tinue those noble efforts, long ma y he be spared to enjoy his worldwide reputation, and to enjoy that which to him, I am sure, is far dearer —the esteem, the veneration, and the affection of his country men." What to another would be adulation, ad dressed to Lord BROUGHAM is the simple recogni tion of admitted and resplendent achievements. I It is only very recently, as will be remembered, that Lord BROUGHAM astonished even those most fa miliar with the vast scope and undiminished vitality of his intellect by that noble oration with which his lordship signalized his assumption of the academi cal chair as Chancellor of the University of his native thy of Edinburgh. To that great harangue he has now added another equally worthy even of his antecedents. Examining his recent speech through the i nadequate medium of the abstract g iven in our impression of Tuesday, it is impossible not to view with profound interest and peculiar gratification the amplitude of survey thereby taken by Lord BROUGHAM of the pr ogress made in the a d v ancement and diffusion of social science during the last and the present generation. Recognizing s brought to th e a d orn• the rare and lofty q-aal: *,ti' meat of public life by masters of debate no less eminent than PULTENEY and IVALroLE, and by men of superb genius such as our English alcibiades Lord BOLINGBROKE, and the great Earl of CuAT. nAm Lord BROUGHAM in vivid i I I ustri of the light that has dawned since thon upon the social and political world generally, aptly recalled to mind in regard to the last mentioned How— " When Lord 0 lIA - MHAT was at the head of affairs, either in opposition or in the ministry, not only were his whole attacks upon his adversaries confined to purely party grounds, but his own policy shows him so little in advance of his age that, as regarded France, it Ras grounded .upon the narrow anti q ua t e d notion of na t ura l en rnity ; and as regarded America upon the equally narrow and antiquated notion of natural sovereignty. To work out those great principles—to attack all invasion of the one either in alliances or in war, and of the other in government, was the object of his public life. Yet so powerful is habit, such the force of routine, he seemed wholly unable to com prehend that it is our first duty by all means to cultivate peace with our nearest neighbour as the first of blessings to both nations, each being able to do the other the most good in amity, the most harm in hostility ; but he could only see glory, or even safety, in the precarious superiority grasped by a successful war. In like manner, as often, as the idea of American independence crossed his mind, he instantly and utterly rejected it as the destruction of our national existence, instead of wisely perceiving that to become the fast friends of the colonies which we had first planted and long cherished under our protection would benefit both ourselves and them the more by suffering them in their full growth to be as independent as we had always been." Yet while thus clearly recognising the deficiencies and demerits of a past generation, the noble orator evidences no feeble recognition of the faults and failings of our own. Instance this his sarcastic remarks in reference to the results of our last Parliamentary session, when he said : —" It is undeniable that the two causes of this excessive speaking—the speaking of members, whose talents, information, or personal importance give them no claim to be heard —are their return to Parliament by bodies of electors, and the report of their speeches in the daily papers. Thus the combination of small par ties, the determination to resist whatever proceeds from certain quarters, the Government especially, in whose hands soever it is placed, the desire to make their support of consequence, which, insigni ficant in itself, may be of moment when the great parties are equally balanced, and the countless numbers of endless speeches without any merit, by persons of no mark, have of late times made the House of Commons a byword as a place of talk and not of work, the caricature of a popular assembly." Well for the nation will it be, if the House of Com mons will but lay to heart these " ewer true " words uttered in its regard, and for its advantage, by one of the most illustrious of its bygone ornaments. The Lord Advocate in his suggestive speech to the " Social Science Congress," touched on a sub ject which has been of personal interest to some of us, and may beeome so to any person—the neces sity for a Public Prosecutor, or a Minister of Jus tice. On this subject he could speak from experi ence, for, as he observed amid considerable laughter and applause, " As regards ourselves I am hardly an impartial witness as to the usefulness of a Pub lic Prosecutor"—however, he did speak on the subject, and if at no great length, yet very impar tially and considerately. In Scotland the sy stem does work well ; there are no coroner's inquests there in cases of murder, and it is the duty of the Public Prosecutor to make the preliminary investi gations in all cases of crime, by such means as he may think best. He is in fact the head of the detective force of Scotland ; and it is his busi ness both to find out who the criminal is when a crime against society has been committed, and to prosecute him to conviction. A Minister of Justice would be useful in many ways ; having under his eye not one department of the administration of the law merely, but its whole course from search and detection to conviction and punishment, he would be the person to understand what was wanting in the working of the machine and to bring it before the Legislature, with ample knowledge and authority. But the primary want on this side the Tweed is that department of his office by which the detection and prosecution of criminals would be placed in responsible hands, and individuals be relieved from what does not belong to them—the trouble, annoyance, and cost, of pro-. secuting those to whose criminal acts or contrivances they may have been subjected. As the case now stands, it is the interest of the individual, in perhaps the large proportion of cases, to conceal the crime committed against him. If it be a robbery—unless one sufficiently large to make the recovery of the property an object, to prosecute is merely to subject himself to an additional loss at the hands of the law. He often may not be in circumstances to afford the cost of prosecution. We well remember a case of a small country miller whom we knew, an industrious worthy man, whom every farmer would trust for a load of wheat till he could get his money in. A man whom he employed robbed him of flour. He, thoughtlessly, prosecuted him—the man would have paid him for what he had stolen ; but the upright miller would not "compound with a felon," for a crime against society—the result was that the man got .a few months' imprisonment, and the poor miller was mulcted in FORTY POUNDS for legal and incidental costs ! A sum which, but for the sympathy of neighbours, would have crippled him in his little business for years, if nothing worse. This is but a specimen of what is constantly oc curring in all forms and gradations of expense, and there cannot be a doubt that in proportion as per sons are aware of what " prosecutions" involve they take care to keep clear of them. Justice costs more than it is worth. Bad enough to put up with the crime, but justice inflicts a penalty on the wrong, because the wronged, party, which may be quite as provoking as the crime itself; indeed in some respects more so. The poor miller had paid his taxes for upholding the institutions of his country, assuredly the Courts of Justice among them ; from the rogue who had robbed him he might expect nothing better, but to suffer from the justice itself which he had helped to uphold, secmed to him little better than a second robbery. And it was so. It is surely the business of Society to punish crimes against its own laws. The individual, for himself, needs nothing more than compensation or restoration by the man who has injured him. It is Society which finds it for its interest that wrong-doers should be dealt with by public justice, and Society o ug ht t o pa y f or it. The LORD-AD VOCATE spo k e candidly. He was net blind to possible abuses of the function of a public prosecutor. He acknowledged that it was extremely difficult to combine efficiently the two objects of detection of the guilty and protection of the innocent. Under an arbitrary Government, the functionary proposed might be an instrument very dangerous to the liberties of the people ; but he observed, " a public prosecutor, under the in fluence of public opinion, and Parliamentary respon sibilty, is, in my opinion, as far as the practical working of it is concerned, the best mode in which the criminal affairs of a country can be conducted." In this view of the case we entirely concur with the LORD-ADVOCATE. With the facilities which every individual has of calling a public functionary, who might use him unfairly, to account through the press—with the readiness, too, which members of Parliament always show to " put a question" on any subject of this kind, where the wrong doers must answer, and from whence the affair would appear in tens of thousands of papers next morning, it is morally impossible that a public pro secutor Aare abuse his powers. Indeed, the case is hardly supposoble of any Englishman doing so, of social standing sufficient to occupy so highly responsible a post. Two difficulties were noticed by his lordship in the appointment of such an officer for England, in comparison with the employment of one in Scotland. First, the immensely greater amount of work to be done. It is not so large in Scotland but that it can be kept within bounds. "The public prosecutor and his deputies are cognisant of every offence that takes place in all parts of the land." And know ing the proceedings that are going on, he can judge for himself personally of all that is done, and be prepared to take the responsibillty. An English :Minister would be overwhelmed with the amount of work, and without direct responsibility there may be risk and danger in the office. Nor could an English Minister, as they can in Scotland, keep in the office the records of all proceedings, the number would be too great. But it certainly does seem possible to arrange some division of the labour, by which the Minister should be at the head of a sufficient number of persons, each directly responsible to the Minister in his own district ; while the Minister would be respon sible for enforcing their duty on these persons. They must of course be of his nomination, subject, perhaps, to some ratifying approbation, and be liable to dismissal by him, as magistrates now are by the Lord Chancellor. The Minister would be, then, the first court of appeal for persons wronged by his deputies, and would be responsible only for not redressing any wrong or mistake of which they had been guilty. The next question raised by the Lord Advocate was,—if England borrows a public prosecutor from Scotland, must Scotland import coroners' inquests and grand juries from England ? That question, however, we are quite content to leave with our Scotch friends. We are willing to borrow good administration of criminal law from them, whether they wish to reciprocate the compliment or not. That justice is daily defeated, here, from want of a better system we know. Crime is encouraged by the impunity due •to the cost of its prosecution ; and that not only amongst what are commonly termed the criminal classes. Many a man of sup posed respectable standing in society retains his position in spite of frauds which are really crimi nal, and which it ought to be the business of a public prosecutor to expose and to punish. The pickpocket and the burglar do not escape, but the man who inflicts far greater loss, and causes far more distress, retains his position, not always be cause the law would not reach him, but because of the cost, or the invidiousness of putting it in motion. We trust the subject will become a practical one in the session of 1861. The Duke of Marlborough and Lord A. Churchill have left Blenheim Palace, near Weodstock, for Wiltshire. The duchess and Lady A. Churchill have gone on a visit to the Earl and Countess Vane, at their seat in Wales. The Earl and Countess Speneer are entertaining a select party at Althorpe House, near Northampton. Among the guests are the Marquis of Exeter and Lady Mary Cecil, the Earl of Euston, the Earl of Pomfret, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Lady Sarah Spencer, Hon. George Fits william, Lord Albert Cecil, Major-General Seymour and Miss Seymour, Colonel Kennedy, Captain Mildmay, Cap tain and Mrs. Boyle, &c. The Tasmanian has arrived from the West Indies with £1,128,000, of which £54,000 is in gold and £1,074,000 in silver. This is the largest amount ever received by a single steamer. LORD BROUGHAM.—Lord Brougham has inti mated his willingness to accept the freedom of the burgh of Paisley, and to gratify the public of Paisley by coming personally among them to receive this honour. A general meeting of proprietors of the Oriental Bank is called for Oct. 29, to declare an interim dividend for the half-year ending the 30th June last, A telegram from Wolverhampton announces that at the preliminary meeting of ironmasters •it was unani mously decided to keep the price of iron for next quarter the same as in the present one. BEER AND ALE EXPORTED.—A return has been published, from which it appears that in the last eight months the declared value of beer and ale exported was £1,484,311. IMPORTATION OF TOBACCO.—From a return just issued it appears that there has been a large increase in the importation of tobacco. In the last eight months the im portations were 11,930,3341 b., against 8,779,8861 b. in the same period of the preceding year. LOST, THE BRIGHTON RECORDER !—" When are the sessions to be held ?" asked Mr. Bigge, the stipendiary' magistrate, of Mr. Chief Officer White, at the Brighton borough bench, on Thursday last. Chief Officer : Ido not know, sir. (A laugh.) Mr. Bigge : Where i s th e recor d er ? Chief Officer : He is in Naples, sir, and there is no telling when he will be here. Mr. Lamb said he might be prime minister. (A laugh.) Mr. Bigge (smilingly) : We had better send Starley, the detective, after him. Chief Officer : The precept for the recorder to fill up the date he will hold the session has been sent up, but no answer has been re ceived. It is over the three months, and we have got 20 , prisoners for trial. So whilst the hon. member for Mary lebone (Edwin James) is "sympathising" with liberty in Italy, the poor prisoners in England are left untried in prison I—Kentish Observer. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.—On Monday, the 17th inst., was laid the foundation-stone of New Schools for boys, girls, and infants, in the parish. of Heston. The Bishop of London preached an impressive practical sermon, from "Aml my brother's keeper ?" The stone was laid by Mrs. Spooner, wife of the Rev. Edward Spooner, M.A., the vicar. The parish being extensive, aid the population scattered, it has been found necessary, besides the central schools, to erect, in remote parts of the parish, two chapel school-rooms, for the celebration of Divine worship, and the holding of Sunday-schools on Sunday, and for day schools during the week. The central schools have the novel feature of industrial department, where the boys will be trained to agricultural and other pursuits, likely to be useful to them ; and the girls will be instructed in plain sewing, washing, ironing, and cooking—qualifications which must be eminently serviceable to them as domestic servants, or the wives of agricultural labourers. The educa tional movement in this parish has been very judiciously and energetically originated by the Vicar, and seconded with great liberality and hearty good-will by the inhabitant.. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS.—The Surrey Gardens Choral Society are now giving a series of concerts at this popular place of amusement, which have proved highly successful, and appear likely to continue so. On Wednes day evening the programme comprised several instrumental pieces from Auber, Verdi, and other operatic composers ; and, vocally, madrigals, part-songs, choral glees, &c. Among the part-songs the gem of the evening was Stirling's " All among the Barley," which was first performed by the Surrey Gardens Choral Society. Miss E. Withers sung the favourite song " The beating of my own heart," with great taste, and was encored. Mr. Thomas, with very great effect, gave Shield's old song of " The Wolf." This gentleman has a good voice, and it is indeed refreshing to hear in these days a purely English song. The part-song harmonised by Mr. G. W. Martin, the well-known beautiful arish air, " The Last Rose of Summer," was very well given. In the third part Locke's celebrated music to " Macbeth" attracted much applause, and the performance was concluded with the national airs of " Rule Britannia" and " God Save the Queen." Much credit is due to the Choral Society, who have made rapid progress. Mr. Sidney Davis conducts in an admirable manner.

On the occasion of the former sojourn of the company amongst us we took an opportunity of criticising this operatic travestie in eulogistic terms, and we need not now, therefore, do more than say that the corps sustained the highly favourable estimation that was formed o f their capabilites, and that each member infused a spirit, a humour, and a freshness into his part that rendered the performance a renewed treat. We mu s t not omit to mention that the accomplished Miss Julia Gould re-appeared in this part of the entertainment, and elicited by her charming vocalisation warm and hearty applause. With respect to the miscellaneous components of the pro gramme, which by the way precede the opera, we may remark that it is conspicuous as usual for its originality and variety, and that to several old favourite selections instrumental and vocal, have been added new pieces. The exquisite ballads written by Mr. F. Buckley for Messrs. Bishop Buckley, Swaine Buckley, and Basquin, were sung with much sweetness and pathos. Mr. Swaine Buckley's rattling bone solo accompaniment to a selection from " Zampa," his inimitable laughing song, and his clever banjo melody ; Mr. Bishop Buckley's ludicrous extraction of music out of the curious one-stringed Chinese addle and his delineation of negro eccentricities ; M r. Andrews's quaint and humorous character of " Old Bob Ridley," and the African polka and plantation dances were performed in a most effective manner,-13irminglIgni Daily Post. LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : VIENNA, SEPT. 28. In yesterday's sitting of the Reichsrath Count Hartig withdrew his mediatory proposition. The Assembly then proceeded to vote on the prin ciples of the Committee, which were agreed to by 34, against 16 votes in favour of the propo sition of the Ministry. The Archduke, President, then stated that the Emperor would examine the propositions without any delay, and give his decision as soon as pos sible. The session of the Council of the Empire was then concluded. PARIS, SEPT. 28. The Moniteur contains the following telegram dated : PARIS, SEPT. 27 (Evening.) The Patric says :—The siege operations before Ancona are being actively carried on. The advanced guard of General Fanti's corps d'armee is at Bracciano, several miles from Rome. These troops were to be encamped before the walls of Rome. PARIS, SEPT. 27. The Marquis de Moustier and the Prince de la Tour d'Atuvergne, diplouuitiu reprebontatives of France at Vienna and Berlin, who are now at Paris on leave of absence, will not return to their posts until after the interview at Warsaw. VIENNA, SEPT. 27. The Emperor Francis Joseph and the Prince Regent of Prussia will arrive at the same time- in Warsaw, where they will stay three days. BERLIN, SEPT. 27. According to reliable information, Austria in tends to propose at Warsaw that the different Powers should not recognise any settlement of the Italian question as binding without her consent. BELGRADE, SEPT. 26. The son of Prince Milosch has been recognised Prince of Servia without any delay. In this quality he has received the foreign Consuls. Order has not been disturbed. The report that the Emperor of the French had been invited to join the interview at Warsaw must for the present be considered very improbable. TRIESTE, SEPT. 27.

A. letter from Turin, dated 25th September, saps,— "The check of Garibaldi before Capua is com plot 31y confirmed. It is said here that the Dictator way. so confident of taking Capua, that he had given orders for preparing illuminations at Naples. "To-day we are informed that the Piedmontese army had entered the patrimony of St. Peter, and that, the French were concentrating at Rome and Civit a Vecchia. A formal order has been given to the Piedmontese commanders not only to avoid any conthict with the French, but even any discussion on any- point whatsoever with the French commanders. The chief anxiety of our Government is to remain on good terms with France. " Once Ancona taken—and it cannot hold out long—Fanti's army will concentrate on the frontier of Naples, and it will cross it at the first call of the population. There are many Neapolitans who would feel much more secure in presence of the regular unife,rm of Sardinia than in that of the red shirts of the Garibaldians. " Such is the plan conceived to reduce the Dicta tor and his party to impotence. " It is said that the Government receives from a portion of Garibaldi's troops assurances of devotion to Victor Emmanuel. " The general opinion here is that if Garibaldi does not succeed in taking Gaeta, Fanti's army will do it. But this is only a rumour. " The Ministerial journals, especially the Opinione, speak of Garibaldi simply as one of Victor Emmanuel's generals, and talk of his assumed in dependence of action as preposterous. " When the Senate and Chambers meet on the 2d inst. they will receive a communication from the Government. As yet the greater portion of the de= puties show a disposition to support the Ministry. But you know in political assemblies opposition often starts up from some quite unexpected quarter. "P.S. I have just been informed by a person who is quite au courant of ,what is going on at Naples that Garibaldi has taken away the command of the fleet from Admiral Persano. The gratuitous gift of that fleet to Piedmont annoyed the party of a ction, who were thus deprived of one of the most powerful means to deserve the names they have assumed. Garibaldi gave it on a first impulse, and now he withdraws it." The Official Journal of Rome publishes a formal protest of Cardinal Antonelli against the invasion of the Papal States. It is addressed to the repre sentatives of all foreign Powers at Rome. ENGLAND AND SARDINIA. The Cologne Gazette publishes the text of a Note addressed under datebf 31st August, by Lord John Russell to Sir James Hudson, the British, Minister at Turin. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs ex presses the fear that the attacks against the Roman States and the kingdom of Naples may lead to an attack upon the possessions of Austria in Venetia. If (says the despatch) the King of Piedmont was at liberty not to accept the preliminaries of Villa franca and the treaty of Zurich, now that he has pledged his royal word he is no longer at liberty to attack a nation with which he has promised to live in peace and friendship. Should such a fact occur, Italy would again be exposed to all tho chances of uncertainty. THE SIIN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1860. ROME. On the subject of the recent entrance of the Pied montesn into the States of the Holy See, the Cardinal Secretary of State has addressed the following note to all the members of the Diplomatic Body residing at Rome. It is dated from the Vatican, 18th inst. : " The undersigned greatly regrets the necessity of communicating to the representatives of the foreign Powers to the Holy See, a statement of facts more and mere deplorable ; but the force of cir cumstances is so grave, and the impetuosity of the violence used towards the most pacific of sovereigns, the august Head of the Church, is so astounding, that he cannot refrain from addressing to them the present communication, being impelled thereto not only by his duty as a minister, but also by the express commands of his Holiness. " ' Since the day on which he had the honour of handing to your Worship the note of the 12th inst., the Piedmontese Government, continuing the same course of hostilities against the Government of the Holy See, without any provocation :on the part of the latter, adding crime to crime, has excited armed revolt against the legitimate authority of the Holy See, in order to obtain possession of the provinces which remained to it after the usurpation of the Romagnas. The Pontifical Goyeruutent, relying on Its Light, has made ana is still making every possible effort, thanks to the bravery of its few troops, to arrest the im petuosity of the invasion • but the enemy's forces arc so overwhelming that it is not possible the defence can hold out long. After the occu pation of Pesaro, the Piedmontese took prisoner the Pontifical Delegate, who was even exposed to outrage, and the commandant, who had resisted the attack. On the other hand, a numerous body marched against Perugia, which, after repulsing a vigorous assault, was compelled to surrender, and the general in command, with the whole garrison, became prisoners of war. The same corps then ad vanced towards Foligno and came to Spoleto. Orvieto has been invaded by volunteers, partisans of Piedmont, who now threaten Viterbo. The Holy Father thus sees himself violently despoiled of all his dominions, which are the patrimony of the Church and of Catholics, notwithstanding that the Emperor of the French has declared to Piedmont that he would oppose the recent invasion, that he would cease all relations with that Government, if the latter did not give him the assurance that the intimation made to the Holy See would not be carried out, and that the Sardinians would not attack the Pontificial troops. " In this state of things the undersigned car dinal complains and protests against acts so de structive of all laws human and divine, and as assailing the independence of the Supreme Head of the Church and the integrity of the temporal domain, with which be has been invested by the dispensations of Providence, for the good of reli gion and of the Church, and which he has law fully possessed for so many centuries past.. "' He therefore requests your lordship to com municate to your august sovereign this complaint and protest. The principles of justice, order, and morality, which all princes are bound to maintain and defend for the safety of their thrones, give assurance that they will oppose a barrier to this spirit of usurpation, which, treading all law under foot, spreads disorder by means of armed troops, in other States, in order to consummate spoliations to the injury of the lawful Sovereign. What also gives no less confidence to the Holy Father is the thought that attention will be paid to the cries of so many millions of Catholics scattered through all kingdoms, who earnestly implore that a term may be put to the anguish and calamities in which the common father of all has been plunged. " ' The undersigned assures your lordship of his high consideration, B:m., ANTONELLI: The only vessels of the Neap&litan fleet remainr ing in the King's possession at Gaeta are the Par thenope, sailing frigate, and the steam brigs Saelta, Mssagiero, and Delfino.

THIS DAY'S _MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to-day very little English wheat reached us eoastwise or by land carriage, and the general quality of the samples was inferior. The fine qualities on offer were disposed of at prices rather over those current on Monday, but low and damp kinds met a dull inquiry at that day's currency. The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 28,000 qrs., nevertheless the demand for all kinds, both for town and country use, was steady, and the quotations almost gene rally had an upward tendency. Floating cargoes of grain were in request, and good use ful wheats were is per qr. dearer. Although the show of foreign barley was tolerably good, the barley trade was firm, and useful qualities were rather dearer. There was only a moderate inquiry for malt at late quo tations. Oats—the supply of which was rather limited—were firm, and the turn dearer. Beans, peas, and flour realised extreme rates, with a fair demand. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The OpiniOne of the 24th publishes the following despatches of General Lamoriciere. They are, it says, a most significant justification of the resolu tion taken by the King's Government to occupy Umbria and the Marches, and of the care it has taken to insure a triumphant success. Telegraphic despatch from the General-in-Chief to the delegate of Macerata. " At Macerata, Sept. 5, 1860. " When the revolution shows the tip of its ear or nose, it must be knocked on the head like a mad dog; if you do not act in this way, it takes your urbanity for fear, and its strength increases in proportion as its confidence in your courage diminishes. " If you must change your police-agents and get rid of a few traitors who intimidate your population, mention it to me, 1 will consider of it, and taking care to have the law on our side we shall not shrink from the necessity of let ting blood. Do you know how they treat the Sicilians who do not wish to be Piedmontese ? They shoot them with out trial. We will have the parties tried before shooting them, but, if necessary, we shall use the strong hand. " The General-in-Chief, DE LAMORICIERE." • " Telegraphic despatch from the General-in-Chief to Cap- _ tain Count de Quatrebarbes, at Ancona. " Sept. 7, 1860. " Tell Colonel Gady to arrest Pasquale Tomasini imme- diately. " As for the suspected publichouses, one single person arrested there by the commanding-officer of the subdivision Colonel de Gady, will be sufficient warrant for closing them. " The Picano, the journal of Ancona, is entirely under your direction from and after Sunday morning. "Captain Esera, who leaves here to-night, is the bearer to you of a document, which I hope will calm the desires for manifestations in future. If they make one to-morrow evening after the procession, disperse them at the point of the bayonet or with musketry fire, so as to take from them the desire of doing it again. " The General-in-Chief, DE LAMORTCIERE." I "Telegraphic despatch from the General-in-Chief to Colonel - de Gady, at Aneona. " Sept. 7, 1860. " Send word immediately by a special messenger to Ca merano, that the auxiliary Gaetano Pisi, who used his arms to suppress seditious cries, is promoted to be a sergeant, placed at the order of the legion of the Marches, and is to receive a reward of six crowns. " The General-in-Chief, DE LAMORICIERE." Telegraphic despatch from the General-in-Chief to Colonel Gady, at Ancona. " Sept. 7, 1860. " Consult the lieutenant of the gendarmerie ; Quatro. barbes knows his name ; arrest the compromised politicians of Ancona, whom he will designate to you, especially the chiefs. " Send a company without knapsacks to Camerano, together with some gendarmes, to arrest the chiefs of the last movement. " Put all those fellows into a black hole at Ancona, and do not permit any gathering of. a crowd like the one of more than 100 persons that took place on the night of the 3d, on the seashore before the Gozzy inn, at the Arcbi. " At the least hiss or insult use arms immediately. " The General-in-Chief, DE LAMORICIERE." Telegraphic despatch from the General-in-Chief to the Minister of War at Rome. " Sept. 5, 1860. " I answer your telegrams in cypher. 1. Spies must not be promoted without supporting them; and when you go out jackal shooting you must load your gun as if you were to meet a lion. 2. Lastly, you should never go to where the enemy apparently wishes to draw you. (Here follow a few words in cypher.) "The General-in-Chief, DE LAMORICIERE." Telegraphic despatch from General De Lamoriciere to his Excellency Cardinal Antonelli. " Sept. 8, 1860. • "One Mazzio transmits to me the conditions laid down by the MC 7 abf de xustgrnogrkzutuxi (Duke of Modena) for I'grhztutgryal (the sending) of hii three thousand men, and requests me to make my observations. These condi tions I knew a fortnight ago, and I have already written four times to 26 (Rome) and natal 92 kztztuxi (that they might be accepted). I feel deep regret in seeing the delay of a fortnight about accepting this succour sent to us by Providence. " Luzzi, Monseigneur de Merode's secretary, will read the words in cypher. " The General-in-Chief, DE LAMORICIERE." " The General-in-Chief to General de Corten. at Macerata. " Sept. 8, 1860. " Thanks for causing the cut telegraph posts to be re paired so promptly. Have the line watched by gendarmes and men of the cantonments. Naples evacuated by the King after conclusion of an agreement, The army, re maining faithful, is falling back behind the Volturno upon Capua. " There will be a great battle between Capua and Gaeta. The Pied montese party has lost ground. The Neapolitans like Murat better than Victor Emmanuel. France is of this opinion. A strong French regiment arrived at Rome yes terday, and two more are announced. Six thousand Mo denese troops, two harnessed batteries, and two squadrons of cavalry, are coming to Ancona. " You will receive to-morrow a copy of the proclamation of the state of siego at Ancona. If you wish the same thing at Macerata, you have only to say so. Study well the conditions of my decree with the delegate." " To Colonel de Gady, in command of the Sub-division NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

Mr. Henry, gunmaker, who enjoys a high reputation in the shooting ground, and who was the winner of one of the 20 Whitworth rifles at Wimbledon, had gone out to a field near the Easter-road along with his son, a fins boy of between 12 and 13, and a friend, for the purpose of regulating the sights of a rifle. The lad was usually employed by his father to point at the target, and while his father fired he hid behind the shelter of a wall. Unhappily, after Mr. Henry had fired several shots the lad started up from a hollow part of the ground in front of the target just as he had again presented, an d before the poor father was aware his son was shot through tl e head, death being-instantaneous. The well known surety of the father's aim had evidently made the lad less c i rc umspect than he ought to have been in the discharge of his dangerous duty. The case has created a painful sen sation in Edinburgh, where Mr. Henry is much respected, and where he was one of the earliest and most active promoters of tho VolUn teer movement in his own professional department, at Ancona. " Sept. 7, 1860. "Send without delay the Seine-et-Rhone to Venice, where he will apply to the pontifical consul for receiving the freight waiting for him. "In case he should not take in at Venice all the cargo the ship ;can carry, he will repair to Trieste, where our consul will provide the compliment. You will notify the ship's return and freight by telegraph. " DE LAMORICIERE." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. THURSDAY.

EXTENSIVE FAILURE. The failure was an nounced yesterday of Messrs. Smith and Co., of the Whitechapel Distillery, a large and old establishment. The exact amount of the liabilities has not transpired, but it is supposed that although the aggregate may be con siderable, the unsecured portion is not more than £20,000 or £25,000. The partners express hopes of a favourable liquidation, which, however, will most probably depend on the premises and plant being kept in working order, so as to realise a fair value. It is stated that the firm is now unconnected with that of their relatives, Messrs. J. S. Smith and Co., of the Pheenix Distillery,. Mile-end, and that the latter will not be compromised in the slightest degree by the disaster. Annexed is the circular issued : " Whitechapel Distillery, London, N. Sept. 26.—We deeply regret to inform you that, owing to the long-con tinued depression in our trade, we are unable to meet our engagements as they become due.
