" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra.

The mining property which it is the object of the present Company to acquire and work is situated in the provinces of Thessaly and Epirus, and a portion of it in Macedonia, known in the country as the Sanjak of. Janina, Trikala, and Volos ; it embraces a superficial area of great extent, and many ranges of mountains rich in mineral deposits. Amongst those ranges are comprised Mount Pindus, Mount Othris, Mount Felton, Mount Ossa, and Mount Olympus, which are elongations of the weal-known metalliferous chain of moun tains passing through Elyria and Carniola, in Austria. 11.1. M. the Sultan of Turkey, in the year 1856, granted a concession for mining on the above property during a period of 31 years from that date, subject to an annual rent of motto piastres (about £650 sterling), in lieu of all royalties, payable on theist day of January in each year. The concession com prises the exclusive right of mining in the- above districts, and an exemption from the payment of customs dui ies on all minerals produced from the mines. The district possesses unusual advantages for the export of minerals, having a great extent of seaboard both in the Adriatic Sea and in the Grecian Archipelago. The boundary co the Adriatic Sea comprises a length of 200 miles of the sea coast from the Gulf of Arta, northwards, passing opposite to Corfu, and on towards the harbour of Duratzo in Albania, north of Avlona. The boundary in the Grecian Archipelago embrsces about 100 miles of sea coast from the Gulf of Volo to Katharina, in the Gulf of Salonica. The concession was originally granted to Ized Pacha, and has finally become the property of Mr. George Zarifi, of the well-known Constantinople house. This gentleman has con s f t o i n r m u e e d r a th ss e oc o i a p t e e r s a in i o o n n s e W p in or in tio en n ee of d. th b e y foot of and on the eastern slopes of Mount Pe lion, in which p I r z o e p d e r yy a — ch v a i z at d th hi foot numerous veins of argentiferous and auriferous lead have been laid open. Large works for smelting the ores from these veins have been erected there, about three-quarters of a mile from the sea coast. They are described by Mr. William B. Bray, C.E., in his able report (copies of which maybe obtained at the Company's offices, or of the brokers) as very extensive in character, substantial in construction, andcapable of treat] ing a large quantity of ore. The smelting establishment consists of 14 furnaces, of dif ferent sorts, besides a complete set of desilverising pans, according to Pattinson's process. There are six ore and slag hearths, three roasting furnaces, two cupelling furnaces, and a reducing furnace. There is a water- wheel of 40-horsepower, but this power can be more than quadrupled. There are sets of stampers for crushing ores, as well as extensive apparatus for washing and dressing them. There are workshops, smitheries, saw-mills,'&c., and exten sive magazines for charcoal. Wood can be delivered at the works from the adjacent extensive forests at a low cost, and may be had in unlimited quantities. The establishment at " Pelion Works " is capable of smelt ing from nine to ten tons of mixed metal daily, and of separating tha silver and gold from the lead. There are generally from 60 to 80, and sometimes as much as 150 ounces of silver, and from six to eight dwts. of gold, in a ton of metal, and its average worth for gold, silver, and lead's from £2B to £3O per ton. The ores of Galena yielded by the mines are very rich ; some of them give as much as 82 per cent. of metal, and the average is from 30 to 40 per cent. The mineral veins vary in breadth from 2 to 10 feet, and yield on an average about 35 per cent. of mixed metal, consisting of lead, silver, and gold. The gold and silver are refined at the works, and the lead is of the softest and best quality. The Directors have entered into a provisional arrangement for the purchase from Mr. Zarifi of the abovementioned con cession, together with the smelting works, furnaces, plant, machinery, minerals, and other property belonging to the mines. Mr. Zarifi, wishing to retain a large interest in the undertaking, has agreed to accept payment for the property as follows, viz.: —£30,000 in fully paid-up shares at par, and o : a 2 ntfi ' o o rn o m o oe i f n d According e abhtco' additionalatpht e a r nc e a p Hp o io r t t sakl 083,1rret. render d ß e e r ir az t :n alreadymhighlyin e a s l l r t a i r d me e d unno t ew o_ to, working at a profit, and only require the judicious appli rative. Labour can be obtained In the neighbourhood of the mines nron economical terms, and a ready market is found in Turkey for all lead raised from the property, the price at Constanti nople being higher than in London.

Gentlemen,—Having paid to your bankers, Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, the sum of £ , I hereby request that you will allot to me shares of £2 each in the above Company, upon the terms of the prospectus ; and I hereby undertake to aocept the said shares, or any smaller number that may be allotted to me, and to pay the further sum of 10s. per share upon the shares allotted to me when required so to do.—l am, gentlemen, yours obediently, Name in full Address in full Date 000000 00000 ••11till between 50 and 60, some of whom were landed des titute of everything. Among them is a cabin boy, aged 16, taken off the Norwegian schooner Abra ham by a fishing lugger, the rest of the crew having been washed overboard. He escaped the general fate by happening to be below at the time, where he had been sent by the captain for some refresh ment for the crew, then almost exhausted, as the vessel laboured very heavily. While down a tre mendous sea struck the vessel, and when he went on deck he saw nothing of the crew except the mate, who was at the moment struggling in the waves a hundred yards off. The boy, having secured the captain's watch, lashed himself to the rigging, whence he was rescued after 43 hours. The loss entailed on the fishing interest of this port by the gale is almost unprecedented. A large fleet of mackerel boats—upwards of 200, was caught in the North Sea by the storm, and scarcely a boat has come in which has net sustained some damage in loss of nets, gear, or men. Ten loggers and two smacks are still missing, having on board upwards of 100 hands, men and boys, and worth, with nets and gear, from £5OO to £6OO each vessel. Some hopes were entertained of their safety up to Satur day night, but as the wind fro n the south-east on that day did not bring them in, and as Sunday passed without any tidings, the worst is now feared. All the crews belong to this neighbourhood, the men in many instances having wives and large families ; and for some days past the beach has been the scene of the most heartrending spectacles, the poor women coming down to inquire after some boat containing a husband or a son, and filling the air with their cries, as they heard that no tidings had been received. Another fishing lugger, the Prima Donna, which had been missing, was brought in on Friday, abandoned; and the master, a man, and a boy arrived here on Sunday from a French port, having been taken off the wreck by a French vessel, and landed there. They report that the remainder of the crew, to the number of seven, were washed over board. This fearful destruction of life and property has thrown a sad gloom over the town ; it is feared that the clubs will be absolutely ruined. Vessels arriving here report that the North Sea is literally strewed with pieces of wreck, spars entangled in fishing nets, deals, casks, &c. SHIELDS, Sunday Night. The weather came on extremely rough again last night, a heavy sea roaring over the bar of the Tyne, and threatening a second storm. It rained and blew all last night, and has rained during the whole of to-day, the wind blowing from the south-east. A number of laden ships sailed yesterday, and sea faring people were very anxious last night with regard to them. There have been many arrivals of light vessels to-day. All have got in safe. The Mary Muncaster bark has arrived here to-day from London, in charge of one of our most experienced captains, Mr. James Turpie, an ingenious inventor of a patent trysail. The Mary Muncaster has brought in with her the survivors of the schooner John, of Goole; the master and his wife have lost their lives under most affecting circumstances. The Mary Muncaster left the Thames on Saturday night week, and encountered the fearful gale of Monday morning between the Dudgeon and Cro mer. Mr. Turpie states that the gale came on with immense suddenness and fury, and though he has been at sea 30 years and encountered all kinds of hurricanes in the China and Indian seas and on the Atlantic, and was out in the Royal Charter gale last year, he never encountered such a fearful storm as that of Monday. His vessel was speedily stripped'of her sails by the wind, and so violent was the hurricane that the crew were unable to work their way up the rigging, and the vessel was taken out of their hands by the hurricane. While drifting before the storm the John hove in sight, under balanced reefed mainsail, and, as the crew of the Mary Muncaster were powerless, the vessels came together. The master and mate of the Mary Muncaster haulcd the mate and two of the crew of the schooner into their ship ; but the master of the schooner, Mr. Rhodes, lost his life in trying to save his wife, who was on board. ife had fastened a line about his wife, but while the officers of the bark were trying to haul her on board, the hitch he had made slipped, and she was carried away by the - waves and drowned. Mr. Rhodes had fastened a line about himself. and the mate of the bark was pulling hiin into his vessel, when the two ships were suddenly thrown together by a fearful sea, and the poor fellow was crushed between them, the line slipped from the mate's hands and he sank. The vessels fortunately shortly after drifted asun der, else it was thought they must both perish. During the storm the Mary Muncaster drove on to a bank, and thumped on the ground several times, but the wind and sea raged so fiercely that she was carried over the sand and was saved. There are vessels belonging to the Tyne and adjacent ports, which were known to be out in the gale, still un accounted for; and, from the melancholy accounts that are reaching north-east ports, it is greatly to be feared that several of them are gone with all their crews. Intelligence has reached here of the loss of the brig Walker on the Dutch coast, and it is feared other north-country vessels have per ished in that neighbourhood. There have been many wet cheeks by the humble hearths of our harbour towns to-day, as seamen have recounted their merciful deliverance from death in this fearful storm ; and some affecting scenes have been wit nessed as rough and hardy men have appeared at our places of worship to thank the Almighty for their merciful deliverance from peril and death. PORTSMOUTH, Monday. The accounts of the casualties along the coast from the effects of Saturday's gale have not proved of so severe a nature as had been anticipated, neither has it passed by without the loss of vessels or of life. At 5 p.m. on Saturday a brig was observed on shore to the eastward of Chichester harbour, but the sea ran so high that the Coastguard could render no assistance. By sunset the vessel went to pieces, and every soul on board was lost. Scarcely a south-west gale of any strength occurs in the Chan nel but it is accompanied by loss of lives on this part of the coast, extending from the east end of the Isle of Wight to the 0 wers light-vessel. No lifeboat of any kind is stationed here, and the only boats available are those of the Coastguard, and they are utterly useless in contending with the heavy surf on such occasions. The brig Triumph, Southampton, from Guernsey for London, with 240 tons of stone as cargo, was struck by a sudden squall at the time the wind shifted so suddenly daring the gale, and had all her canvas blown from the bolt ropes. At nine p.m. she struck heavily on th e Woolmors, a dangerous shoal off the mouth of Langston harbour, and continued beating along the sands till 10 p.m., when she became firmly fixed in her present position at near l y hi g h water was experien ce d i n ge tti ng mark. Great difficulty the men on shore, owing to the tremendous surf running up the beach. A spar with a sma ll li ne a tt ac hed was thrown into the surf, which th e Coastguardsman, making lines fast roun d th e i r waists, rushed into the water and secured. A haw ser was then hauled ashore, one end being made fast on board, and by these means th e crew were r escued, two of them being in a very exhausted state. The whole of them were conveyed to the hotel in the village, where they received every attention and kindness. the captain of the brig reports that there was an awful sea running at five p.m. on Saturday between . the Nab Light an d th e 0 wers ; and that after , his canvas had be en bl ow n away by t h e squ all on the wind shifting, his vessel drifted pasta schooner with only one mas t stand ing, and driving towards the shore, green seas making a clear breach o ver h er. l i e th i nks she must have gone downsoon afterwards with all on board. A collier brig is rep or t e d t o h ave b een driven ashore off , entnor ; and another, the Light Sign, and Siafrom Sunderlind f )r S out h amp t on , h as gone as hore - to the ~,est7c,;rti of Stol:cs-hay. Great. damage has been done to the gardens, along the coast, and in several exposed situalions large trees have been levelled with the grow ml. It still Mows fresh from the westward, with passing squalls.

A considerable majority soon after entrusted the same duty to the two Imperial Councillors, Count Anton Auersperg and Count Anton Szecsen. Count Apponyi and Count Andrassy afterwards developed, in_their speeches, those points which they thought adapted to their respective positions as Hungarian subjects of his Apostolic Majesty. The session for 1860 was then declared duly opened by Archduke Rainer, and the Assembly in formed that on the next morning they were to be received by the Emperor in person. On the following day (the Ist inst.) the members of the Council of the Empire assembled in the Throne-room of the palace, when the Emperor ad dressed them as follows " My Lords, Councillors of the Empire,—Be heartily welcome. I have called you around me, since I count upon with certitude to have found in you men who will assist me in my endeavours to pro mote alike the welfare of all nations of Austria faith fully and with true devotion. All important ques tions relating both to general legislation and to the exigencies of the budget will be laid before you, my lords. Please to bear in mind, in your deli berations, those supreme principles that the weal and the woe of all parts of this vast empire are most intimately interwoven—that the solidarity and mutuality of interests through all my Crown lands are facts which encircle and bind together the monarchy through a thousand of sacred and time honoured links ; that each attempt to shake or loosen those links must lead immediately to the detriment of the whole of its parts, preventing all progress, both intellectual and material, and that, therefore, I could by no means allow such attempts to take place without trespassing on my sacred duties towards my empire and my people. Let us, therefore, my lords, secure and enforce equal rights and protection to all nations of Austria, and may they thus be united into one strong link of concord and brotherhood. "My Lords,—When called upon to examine the single item of the budget, pay due consideration to the political position of Austria, but do so with the utmost care not to increase the charges of the people. Soon you will satisfy yourselves that up to this very hour, although reforms in finance are slow to ripen into full effect, considerable economy in all branches of the administration have already been obtained without lessening altogether the general income. If, then, we progress in this direc tion with perseverance and strength—if thus we succeed in bringing to wholesome results those re forms of inner administration which I have ordered —then, my lords, I have no doubt, and I hope as suredly that if no extraordinary event thwart lour efforts, the hoped-for financial balance may be finally attained. "The welfare of all the nations entrusted to my care constitutes the highest aim of my unceaing endeavours, and also the development of our inter nal welfare as well as of our importance abroad, are those noble tasks to which the whole of my zeal is devoted. In the efforts to realise those su preme national boons, you, my lords, are with. me, as well as all my faithful subjects, and thus let us pray unto the Almighty, and implore Him to give to our combined endavours His Holy will aud,His mighty assistance." The following is the speech of the President of the Council of the Empire (Archduke Rainer) at the opening of its session : " My Lords and Gentlemen,—At the time when his Majesty, our most gracious lord and emperor, announced, by the manifesto of July 15, 1859, to his faithful subjects the return of peace, he was also pleased to declare that the blessings of peace were doubly precious, since they afforded the ne cessary means for the task of promoting both the inner welfare and the external security of Aus tria by developing her rich intellectual and mate rial resources, and by introducing proper improve ments and changes in her legislation and admi-1 nistration.' Indefatigable in the pursuit of this first and supreme aim, his Majesty has felt the necessity of informing himself of the interests and wishes of the whole population of the empire. by means of the advice and the reports of such of his subjects as were themselves immediately 'con cerned in those changes. The most important task of the provincial diets will be, therefore, to bring to his august knowledge those same wishes and interests. But also in the centre of the empire his Majesty has resolved to gather around him faithful, experienced, and independent councillors whose great knowledge and thorough loyalty to the Throne and the country will prove the more beneficial the more difficult the problem laid before them appears to be. His Majesty has been pleased to entrust this grand and noble task to the Council of the Empire, which, notwithstand ing its present augmentation, is to discharge busi ness in the form and way used hitherto. You will readily understand, my lords and gentlemen, that this Imperial Council, in its present enlarged form, is to act as a supreme one both of the Emperor and the Crown.' In accordance with the Imperial patent of March 15, 1860, you aro, my lords and gentlemen, summoned aroun d th e E mperor , an d you will, no doubt, d evo t e a ll your efforts to the realisation of his august and all-i m p or t an t p ros p ec t s and views. You will constantly b ear i n m i n d that his Majesty, in appealing to your advice, intended above all to reinforce his supreme council by such men as would independently express their indivi dual opinions, and bring to his knowledge the needs and wants of all classes of our populations, but who at the same would never forget that the weal and the woe of all repose on the rights of the Crown as well as on the maintenance of the unity of the empire. My lords and gentlemen, I have been called upon by his Majesty to superintend your deliberations, and therefore a copy of the rules adopted for the transaction of business (geschafts ordnung) having been communicated to each and all of you, I beg leave to invite you, in compliance with section 3 of the above•named to take the oath there nrescribed. [Presentation of the oath.] Before we begin our task, my lords and gentlemen, allow me to address you a few words. Receive, then, above all, the assurance that, to the best of my knowledge, and with the utmostimpar tiality, I have resolved to discharge my duty of superintendence, watching, however, over the strictest compliance with the above-named Imperial regulation and form of business. I feel sure that in serious appreciation of the noble tusk entrusted to you, my lords and gentlemen, you will assist me fervently and faithfully, and that you will do all your best to ensure those prosperous results which both Emperor and country expect confidenfly from your patriotism and loyalty. Great and important indeed are the subjects of discussion submitted to you, but by far the most important amongst them is the deliberation on the question how our financial administration is to be improved and how the in disperislizle necessities of the budget shall he pro vided. Ample preparatory arrangements have already been made; they will no dou b t faell,it.ate the that very question on the hlppy on of which the welfare of our country undoubtedly depends. But not less, I feel persuaded, my lords and gentlemen, you will devote all your zeal and wisdom to those other questions which his Majesty has been pleased to lay before you. Very serious indeed, we cannot deny it , is the position of our country at the present hour, which witnesses the first assembly of this augmented Council of the Empire. However, a better future is in expectance, and therefore, let me congratulate you, gentle men, on your present noble mission relating to the realisation of such better days and pro spects. So let us, then, always rememb er our Em peror's device, ' V iribus unstis,' and may God help "I am not in the possession of a man clat,' con sequently 1 express in this august assembly only my individual opinion, without rendering my coun try responsible for it. Yet, I feel it incumbent on my duty, as a citizen, to accept a position enabling me to give my personal views as if my country had called on me to do so. When I view the great bearing of this enlarged council which, considering an important epoch, has a great task to perform— when, moreover, I reflect on the great influence which this council will exercise on the countries belonging to the Crown of Hungary, I feel in duty bound to say a few words in order to explain my position in this high assembly in reference to Hun gary. It must not be a secret to this council that the enlarged Reichsrath ' has created some serious thought in Hungary. It is natural that a country which is attached with a religious piety to its pre vious legal relationship to the empire and to its historical rights and institutions, should look upon these important changes with the deepest concern. The extension of the council, in which the future representatives of Hungary are to be brought into direct contact with all the other Crown lands, is such an important fact that, irrespective of its usefulness and necessity, it may well engage some serious thoughts. The more this opinion is spread, and the more I have been impressed with it, the greater most be the rea sons which made me and my compatriots answer to the call of his gracious Majesty, and to enter upon a path which seems to separate us from our political friends, whose opinion we had ever shared. Indeed, the fact that we have come here shows the amount of confidence which we place in our high-souled monarch. According to his grant of the 19th we are to - regain our political existence, and we are to be allowed the legal right to express our thoughts in this high assembly, and to enforce that opinion which is based on our historical rights, and to which, provided we use it in the interest of the Crown and the whole empire, we are entitled to. It proves further what are the hopes we build on this political debate, and what is the value we place on the liberty of a legal discussion which will enable us to conquer prejudices, to allay misunderstanding which contributed so much to widen the breach between the peoples of the same empire—this being upheld at thef,great cost of all, rendering every boon valueless though it might have been placed in the palm of the hand. I believe, and believe it firmly, that the supreme council is a safe issue from difficulties ordered by the wisdom of our gracious monarch, which is au exceptional position we could well enter upon, inasmuch as it is the only one by means of which all misunderstanding, all great burning questions, and consequently that of Hun gary, may be best settled. It will show itself that Hungary desires nothing which might throw the least umbrage on the well-being of the united monarchy, or which might peril the safety of the other provinces —that they desire to attain nothing at their expense, but that they, on the contrary, wish that their connection should be beneficial to them, in securing a general well-being, and to strengthen the organic ties of the empire. In this expectation I enter upon this path. I wish to be understood that I do not intend to renounce one of my principles. I feel bound to preserve our historical rights. Nor have I resigned my rights in the future liungarian con stitution, for I accepted the task with that well understood condition that I should not forfeit any privileges and duties which the future may entail on me." Count Apponyi concluded by an expression of gratitude to the Emperor. Count Andrassy endorsed the above sentiments, adding that in his present position he stands on his own responsibility, and not as a representative of Hungary, and that, he is authorised to express the same views on behalf of his colleagues. THE COMMITTEE ON THE PRIVILEGES OF TILE LORDS AND COMMONS. (Fro:n the _London Correspondent of the Liverpool _Albion) Next, as to the Commons' committee hunting for precedents to cushion Lords' antagonism on the paper question, for that is the object of the explo ration ; and the Tiverton miner, having little coun termining to guard against, nearly all the delvers being his accomplices, will take care they shall not search in vain. In fact already there has been suffi cient found to dispose of the whole affair • so if there be the least sincerity in Gladstone he had better go out, and if in Bright he should " come out" as fast, and the latter as hot and strong as possible; otherwise the pair will have to settle down into as thorough a couple of Piccadilly" ap• pendages " as stepson Cowpe r o r stepson-in-law Shaftesbury themselves. The report is already virtually made, and is no report at all, which is.just what is wanted. It . avill be merely a dry record of precedents, so tabulated that they will need no re commendation to give them the desired point, namely, that the Peers are in the right, and the Commons in the wrong, and serve them right, too, for pretending to be in earnest when all the world knows they are not. At the first meeting Mr. May handed in to Chairman Walpole a prodigious list of precedents, which was handed back with a request for detailed explanations of each, that is, of the bearings of each, for circumstances alter cases in these as in other matters • and a precedent that may apparently be perfectly pertinent to the present business may turn out to be wholly inapplicable, because of motives or objects, other than these on the surface, mixed up with it. There is one precedent, how ever, which there is no getting over, but which has not been mentioned yet, and is now mentioned here for the first time, namely, that of 1774, when Lord North's Cabinet brought in a bill for the better government of Quebec, commonly called Lord North's Canada Bill, in which it was provided that a tax may be levied on the Roman Catholic popula tion for the 'church and clergy purposes of that persuasion. The Whigs opposed the bill ; partly on the no-Popery, Jacobites, and so forth; partly. on privilege, the bill originating in the Peers. At tention to the latter fact was repeatedly called by Charles Fox, then very young. He several times divided the house, but was beaten. Not only did the bill become law, but it was prominently alluded to in George the Third's Speech from the Throne at the close of the session. By the time that this precedent is put in the pipe of Mr. Bright, and smoked in peace, there will be a cessttion of the vapouring of the Birmingham furnace. Then indeed will he . " speak with abated fire," as he lately said, but unjustly to himself, that he now speaks; for he never spoke better, and probably the best speech he ever made in his life was that of last night, short as it was. It produced a most remarkable impres sion on the house ; and the impression all his speeches do make there furnishes the most comical commentary on the gibberish in some of the papers which represent him as without weight any where, and as deserving of it nowhere. It was curious to observe that Bright's seat last night was occupied by the burly Milesian metropolitan, Lord Fermoy ; but as soon as he brought on the question as to what the Chancellor of the Exche quer meant to do with the money saved in conse quence of the Peers' veto against the paper remis sion, he vacated the place. Into it Bright stepped, an:l thence made his remarks , in his best elocu tionary manlier, and that is far better than the very best in the'house, Graham's perhaps alone es copied ; for Gladstone's is far inferior, although it is the cant of the minute, or rather was a short time ago, to assume the contrary. Gladstone eyed the trib-inc intently all the time he was speaking, with evidh admiration, if not entire s) mpathy ; for ii, is difficult to del ermine, and that difficulty, n 8 applied to one a: - d all of our public men, is the curse and paralysis of the time, hoW far he is in earnest, how far he is Palmerston-ridden, how far independent, how far prepared to vindicate that in dependence in action, instead of " letting I d not wait upon I will," like the poor cat [Pusvyite] in the adage: Gladstone himself spoke with evi dent restraint and constraint; and it was amusing to perceive his half-satisfied embarrassment, when, making reference to his " noble friend," he turned round, and discovered that said friend was " con spicuous from his absence," as another noble friend once said on the City hustings, baleli has — glatified a. bile, impatience. The pre l e_ . the quick succesion ollarree'e battles, and the surrender of the Rityal intly Thr ee followed each other almost es rapidly as telegraphs could tell them. We sit and see it all pass rapidly on, and clap our hands, growing impatient if the curtain should be let down between the acts. This guerilla chief, although now a great General, and the supreme leader of two millions of people, still makes war like a guerilla chief. That promptitude which success stamps as wisdom and which failure :brands as rashness is ; in his cit cumstances, the only than - - With-guns and forts, and trained. armies, Generals versed in the regular strategy of modern warfw e as his enemies, with brave, ardent fellows, de:litn eof everything but teat hearts and strong limbs as his supporters, Garibaldi hid to do all by dvd‘,, or not at all. HO has done it. He h forcud his way into Palermo, he has beaten the King's army, he has driven theta into their forts, and he lets oliliged them to admit their inferiority by consentit,,, , to Capitulate. Fast upon the intelligence t hat the a tpitulation had been completed, and that the 24,000 soldiers of the King's array were going fot::it under the pressure of the patriJtic bands which had beaten and sur rounded them, comes the new 3 that the capitulation has been broken, that the lints and vessels have again opened fire upon the city, that the insur gents have resumed their arms and are swarming round the army, that the city is barricaded and that amid the devastation which is going on the troops are deserting, and even a Neapolitan General has gone over to the popular cause. The procession of great events is rapid enough, but un happily we have them as yet only in outline. Garibaldi is the hero for the present age, when steam and electricity have so spoilt us for enduring the tardiness of old tidings that we should, per haps, if we got Caesar's celebrated despatch, quarrel with the comma which separates the vidi from the vie/. But still, when we have quenched our thirst for news, we yearn for a long, quiet enjoyment of the details. Unfortunately, Sicily is an island. What is still worse, Sicily is an island the surrounding waters of which are in possession of a fleet hostile to the Sicilian cause. We'cannot hope that the Neapolitan Government will be polite enough to forward the Sicilian accounts of those Royal victories which shine so gaudily in their official garb. That this rush of events is all chronicled and well described for us we are tolerably sure ; but when these ac counts will reach us it is impossible to guess, as from hour to hour we wait for them. Even, however, from the information before us now we can under stand that the original positions of Garibaldi and the Neapolitan Generals are counterchanged. It is General Lanza's position which is desperate, and it is Garibaldi's which is secure It cannot be otherwise. Although we want details, the events speak for themselves. Lanza would never have proposed or consented to capitulate if he had any hope of maintaining his ground at Palermo. The order of the Court to remain and bombard the city is an order to remain and be destroyed. This may suit the selfish policy of the Neapolitan tyrant. He may prefer that his soldiers should be rather massa cred, red-handed with the blood of his subjects, than return to Naples defeated and discouraged, to spread abroad in the King's own home dominions a practical contradiction of those fabled victories which had been posted up in the streets of Naples. Such a spectacle of-defeat would have been, perhaps, an enouragement to revolt. Better that they should do what massacre they can and then perish, or better even that they should go over to the enemy, than come home and proclaim by their presence that Garibaldi is triumphant and the Bourbon power broken. Again, it is said that there were 4,000,000 of scudi in the Treasury at Palermo. It is certain that there are in the forts arms and stores to equip all the youth of Sicily, and guns to make the harbour an uncomfortable anchorage for Neapolitan ships of war. Francis 11. might well believe that happen what might, nothing could be much worse for him than the capitulation which had been signed by General Lanza. ; If, as we hear it said, those 4,000,000 scudi were to be handed over to Garibaldi, subject to the rights of the King of Naples and to his orders as to the ultimate destination of them, there was not want ing that spice of irony which should give poignancy to this humiliating capitulation. General Lanza might, perhaps, have said in his defence that he brought 26,0(0 men to surround the throne of his Sovereign, and to protect his continental dominions from the attack which was certainly impending , . The King, however, does not se e m t o pl ace m uc h value upon these men. He evidently thinks that the army .which could not or would not keep Garibaldi out of Sicily will either want the power or th:: , will to keep him out of Naples. - We see in all this the despair and the distrust of a falling tyranny.. His hope from his own army being evidently gone, the King of Naples betakes himself.now in nnndicant fashion to those foreign Pow( rs whose counsels he has so often rejected, and whose warnings he has treatcd with scorn. He hopes that those from whom he would endure no inferees, , :ion on behalf of his tortured subjects will now inte-fere, when those subjects have righteously risen against his monstrous tyranny, and hold hint in their grasp. He has applied to Austria, and it was supposed for a moment at Turin that Austria had moved down a body of 15,000 troops to create a diversion, or even to punish Piedmont for her connivance in this Sicilian expedition. Such consistency did the rumour obtain that French regiments were marched to the point in dicated. Their appearance called out the Aus trians, and the two rival uniforms stood once more for a moment face to face. Of course the alarm was without foundation. Even Austria is not quite so mad as to fight in such a cause as this ; but the prompt movement of the French troops shows how quickly any such enterprise would be met. We are not able to say what verbal comfort Austria may have afforded her ally, but she cer tainly is not prepared to sacrifice herself in order that he may pursue his career of cruelty and folly. Scared as he was, Francis 11. next applied to the Emperor of the French for an armed mediation. The telegraphic message found the Emperor at Lyons, and we are assured that it received an in stant reply, to the effect that any interference of France in this conflict was entirely out of the ques tion. The Bourbon, therefore, is left to his fate. Unless be can hold his own against Garibaldi and the people he has so justly incensed there is none to help him.--Times. THE CORPORA7I J.N AND ME MER- CHANTS. A notable controversy appears to have long existed between the Corporation, the Gresham Com mittee, and the merchants of London. The mer chants arerepresented to have supplicated in vain the joint Gresham Committee to relieve them from the hardship of attending "'Change" without shelter, and during nine out of the 12 months in the year, in this our variable climate, we can imagine the amount of unnecessary suffering that may be occa sioned. For this a remedy has been suggested by the patient complainants, who, moreover, have gone the length of proposing to relieve the trustees of the Exchange from any expense, if expense alone be the impediment. It has always appeared to us a strange oversight when, after the fire which con sumed the previous structure .by Jarman, a new building was constructed, that it did not occur to the joint representatives of Sir Thomas Gresham how advantageous would have been an enclosed building for the transaction of business there. They might have gathered the experience from Antwerp that its open Exchange, however beautiful and world-admired, was found to be inconvenient, and was consequently roofed in. The Bourse of Paris has been complained of by some, by reason of its roof accumulating and conducting so und to such an its money as to render it, with th loquacity of money merchants, a perfect Babel.

FRAUD ON A SAVINGS BANK.—A young man named Frederick Eton, and an aged woman, named Mary Ann Manby, were, this morning, placed before Mr. Beadon, charged with forging a receipt for money on theiProvident Institution, St. Martin's-place. The money, it appeared, had been deposited by Manby for the benefit of her son, A minor, now in India, and in order to obtain the interest on the sum, viz., £2O sterling, Eton said she had previdiod 011 him to represent himself as her son. Both prisoners were remanded. t3O 510 360 370 60 tlO 200 200 110 160 125 43 370 30s 48s —s 1 to
