The Sun. — London, England, 1860-09-13 00:00:00

elf-past eight o'clock we had entered the beautiful bay of Salerno. A. sultry sun had struggled through the thick sea mist, and poured its fiercest rays upon the long row of stately white houses which form the great strada of Salerno. From the deck of the corvette we soon ob served that great excitement prevailed in the town ; the shore was thronged with people; the whole population, about 20,000, was astir. As we approached we could ob serve that bayonets glistened in the sun, and the echoes of loud " vivas" reached us What did it all mean ? As we steamed slowly towards the shore, the large crowd moved to the point where we prepared to land, and anxiously watched the debarkation of our party—the Hon. Evelyn Ashley, Capt. Godraan, sth Dragoon Guards ; Mr. Adam Smith, and myself. From the windows of the Intendenza, the Mansion house of Salerno, waved all sorts of flags, pieces of red cloth, the tricolour, the Sardinian and the Neapolitan co lours and handkerchiefs of every hue. Every window was thronged; the dark eyes of the South Italian beauty flashed from every casement, and fair hands waved their fans most excitingly. _ _ But who had arrived ? Was Garibaldi here ? Had the man whose name is now on every lip reached Salerno ? Was he within an hour by the railway of the doomed city ? "Where was his army ? Where the 17,000 Bavarian troops who were in the town yesterday, and had been sent from Naples to make the last stand for its effete and impotent monarch. On I went at once to the Intendenza. I sent in my card, and found that the gallant Col. Peard, " Gari baldi's Englishman," was installed in the gaudy rooms of the old mansion, and one or two of Garibaldi's staff. He hal entered the town alone, and in the name of the Gene ral had taken possession of it. The Bavarian troops, who the day previously were stationed in this town, and who guarded the beautiful pass which terminates the railway, were not to be seen, and four unarmed men had captured a considerable city I From Col. Peard, with whom I had an interview, I learnt that the General was expected at Eboli, a village about 16 miles distant, and I at once pro ceeded there. Along the road we met many hundreds of the Neapolitan troops who had laid down their arms near Monteleone, wending away home—wretched-looking crea tures, footsore and dispirited, and many lying in tke edges of the vineyards half famished and almost dead. At the entrance of Eboli, on the descent of the pass of the moun tain, upon the side of which the village rests, we saw four old' picturesque carriages driving in hot haste into the narrow streets of the village, and one of the General's staff, an American, to whom I had given a seat in the carriage, espied the General, and I shouted, " Viva Garibaldi I" We followed to the Intendenza, and in a little bedroom, crowded with his Staff and the local authorities, I had my first interview with the disinterested and brave liberator of Italy, in his red shirt, in a dirty pair of jean trousers, and worn-out boots. Combing his long, thin hair at the glass, stood the greatest patriot since Washington. Mr. Ashley and I were announced. He remained in the same attitude for a few minutes, but was evidently thoughtful. He shook us most cordially by the hand, asked most anxiously the state of Naples, and whether the King had left at the time of our departure, and whether troops were placed between Eboli and Salerno ; but his greatest anxiety was to know the feeling of the English people on the great mission he has to carry out. He spoke in the highest terms of the impartial and kind conduct of our Admiral at Naples, and requested us to see him again in the evening at Salerno, to which plaee, after changing horses, he was hastening. He stated hat his determination was to take Naples at the earliest moment, and that he desired to do so without its costing a life, if possible. All was bustle and excitement. The National Guard, aware of his approach, roistered in large numbers ; their unmusical band were making their utmost noise. Deputations of priests and Franciscan monks were crowding into his presence. "Women and children were throwing flowers into the room, in the corner of which he eat, in a rickety old chair, unmoved and tranquil. There is a simple grandeur about his demeanour which is very striking, very cool and collected, but when he spoke of the subject of French policy his eye lighted up instantly, and in short epigrammatic sentences he spoke of the sympathies of the French people with his cause ; but in terms which I need not repeat of the policy of the Emperor. Mounting our mules we started back to Salerno, and on our journey met one of his regiments on their march to Salerno. The General had retained the bands of two of the regiments which had laid down their arms at Monte leone, and nothing could be more ridiculous than the ap pearance presented by his tattered troops headed by the smart band of the army of the King. We shared some wine we had on the mountain side with the officers and men, and drank the health of our Queen, the friend of Italy, and success to Garibaldi, under the shade of a large vineyard. On entering the town (Salerno) we found it brilliantly illuminated, and up to the very top of the moun tain every cottage had its little lanterns peeping forth like glimmering stars in the blue canopy of Heaven.' Thousands had collected, bands played, and when the General appeared by torchlight at the window of the Hotel de Ville' the enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds ; and into midnight was this scene protracted. The crowds seemed drunk with the idea of liberty, and with the hope of casting off the despotism which had crowded the horrible prisons with untried victims, and this night the General will sleep with his small Staff within an hour's distance of Naples. He has not met a soldier of the King, nor has one life been the sacrifice. "What a revolution I A dynasty overthrown by the mighty influence of opinion—a kingdom no corrupt and so degraded that a hired soldiery employed to suppress the constitutioaal liberty of the people refuses in the hour of need to protect even their King I What a lesson to monarchs I " I shall enter Naples with the General, and will send you a little sketch of the scene." -ENGLAND, AUSTRIA, AND PRUSSIA. It may be laid down as a rule of English policy that we endeavour to hold ourselves free, so as to employ our power to the best advantage when the force of circumstances may require our action. It is no part of our system to enter into pfospective engagements. The story of Le Nord, to which prominence has been given, is therefore absurd. Our contemporary pretends that England, Austria, and Prussia have formed a coalition against. France, and that they have solemnly agreed upon three points, which are thus duly enumerated : "1. To oppose any military intervention of France in Italy, under any pretext whatever. " 2. To oppose any other military intervention of France in Europe, without a preliminary understanding with the Powers. " 3. To oppose any territorial extension of France, either by means of conquest or negotiation." We believe we shall be borne out in giving the fullest contradiction to this statement of our con temporary,--. Morning Post. TBIS DAY'S MARRETS. CORN EXCHANGE. hit ERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

Advices from Honduras to the 16th ult. state that the President was daily expected at attack Walker at Truxillo. The inhabitants of that town were leaving in alarm. "Walker had rassed the Federal Central American Flag, and contemplated uniting five of the States. The excitement, in Texas relative to the Aboli tionists was increasing. The town of Mount Vernon was reported to have been destroyed by incendiaries. NEW YORK, AUG. 31, EVENING, The Money Market is quieter. Exchange on London is quoted 110 to 1101.

Owing to the absence of fresh supplies, the specie movement presents very little feature of im portance. Considerable consignments may be shortly expected, however, the following vessels having left Victoria for this country, viz., the Maidstone, with £195,000; Blue Jacket, £125,512 Malta, 191,040; Dover Castle, £228,520; Orwell, 1151,508 ; and the Red Jacket, with £152,516. There is still a limited inquiry for money, and the current sales are fully -It to L i : per cent. below the Bank of England minimum. The continuance of the prevailing ease will soon justify the expec tation of some change in that quotation. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The half-yearly Court of Proprietors took place at the Bank of England to-day, and a divi dend of 5 per cent. for the six months ending the 30th of August was declared. The profits during that period were £710,143, and the " rest" on that day amounted to £3,736,139. Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices of all descrip tions tended upwards. The sales amounted to 20,000 bales. A meeting has been convened of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, for the purpose of declaring an ad interiat dividend for the half-year ended the 30th of June. The Shannon has been announced, from -the West Indies, with £110,600 in specie. Continued sales of stock are effected by the public as well as the speculative dealers, but the latter operate only to a small extent, and the Con sol Market presents a quiet as wall as a heavy appear ance. Foreign politics now engage most attention, the state of existing relations between France and Switzerland, and the complications which surround the Italian question being considered unfavourable. Consols for money have been 93 to 938, and for account, 931 ; they are now 931 1, and 931 ; respectively.

The liquidation of the half-monthly account has been the chief business attended to to-day in the Railway Share Market, and prices have shown in creased firmness, caused, in a great measure, by the very favourable traffic returns. Eastern Counties, North-Western, South-Western, and North-Eastern (Berwick), have advanced 55.; Lancashire and York shire, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, North Eastern, York, and West Midland, 10s. ; and Mid lands, £1; Great Western have reached to the extent of about 10s.; and South Eastern have declined ss.

The GOVERNOR said that as the dividend declared that morning exceeded that of the last half-year, by 7 of Geo. 111., c. 48, the meeting would have to be adjourned in order that the foregoing resolution might be confirmed by ballot or otherwise. It therefore became necessary to adjourn the Court to Tuesday, the 18th inst., and he moved a resolution to that effect. The resolution was carried. Mr. CLARK moved a resolution thanking the directors for their judicious and efficient management of the concerns of the bank. The motion was carried unanimously. The GOVERNOR, on behalf of the directors, thanked the proprietors for their warm acknowledgment of their past endeavours. He assured the Court that their unanimous desire was to promote in every possible manner the interests of the Corporation. (Cheers.) The Court then adjourned till Tuesday, the 18th. The judges at the different agricultural shows held lately have come to the conclusion that cattle condi ment is an article which they can no longer do without in the economical production of butchers'-meat. During the past month, four first-class prizes have been awarded to Joseph Thorley (the inventor and sole proprietor of " Thor ley's Food for Cattle,") for his discovery of a condiment which enables animals of all kinds to extract more nourish ment from hay and straw seasoned with it than unseasoned food, although the latter may contain a much greater amount of alimentary matter. 5 7 o 7 9S 11e if I —a 93 944 1 1 d ,WAYS. 5,} 5f — Pi d 2 1 21 21 2i 2 d 4 3111 24i 254 61- 7f 1O 20! , 37} SBi - -P, 7 S , 344 354 54 65 3 2d 14 16 51 6 81 s 2 11 d 18 20 51 5/ 9 1 22& 23} POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAI-.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. LADY PICKPOCKETS.—Jessy Smith and Harriet Berry, two well-dressed females, one of whom gave a false address and the other none at all, were charged as follows : Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said—About five o'clock yesterday afternoon I saw the two prisoners standing looking in the window of the shop of Mr. MontanaH, wax doll maker, Charles-street, Soho-square, a number of other females being present at the time. I watched them some time, and saw Smith trying the outside of the dresses of several females, the other prisoner being close behind her at the time with a thick fall over her face. I then-saw Smith put her hand into the pocket of an old lady. I continued to watch the prisoners for about five minutes, and then stepped into Mr. Montanari's shop, when, Smith no doubt seeing me, the prisoners both started off across Oxford -street into Tottenham-court-road, where I took them into custody. I know the prisoners well as the companions of thieves. Mr. Montanari, jun., proved seeing the prisoners at the shop on different occasions this week, and seeing them twice yesterday trying ladies' pockets, the prisoners alternately acting and reversing their positions. Prisoners said they had no questions to ask. Berry said the other "lady" was not out of bed till three in the after noon. The prisoners wore both well known to Welsh, the gaoler of the court. Mr. Beadon, remarking that he had never heard a clearer case, committed the prisoners for three months each with hard labour. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—James Brown, carman, in the employment of Messrs. Baxendale, the extensive car riers, was charged before Mr. Selfe with stealing a pair of boots, the property of his employers. John Robinson, foreman at the firm's warehouses, Hay don-square, stated that the prisoner bad been in the em ployment of the firm about four years, and was always con sidered to be a trustworthy man. The previous evening witness saw him, while he was loading a van, lift up the lid of a tea chest and take out a pair of boots. Witness went up to him and asked him what he was doing there. As witness went up to him he flung the boots on the floor at his feet. Witness picked them up, when the prisoner said they had fallen out of the chest. The value of them was 4s. Mr. Beard, who attended for the prisoner, cross examined the witness, and asked him whether the boots might not have fallen out, when he replied that he plainly saw the prisoner lift up the lid of the chest and take out the boots. Mr. Gale, the manager, said that the firm bad had a large number of similar pilferings in the course of the last few months. He would not say the prisoner was the person who had committed the robberies. Mr. Selfe—What wages does he receive ? Witness—Twenty-three shillings a week. I have no in structions to ask for a mitigation of punishment. Mr. Beard said that he hoped he (the magistrate) would not inflict a severe penalty, as he had been so long in the employment of the firm, and had hitherto borne a good character. Mr. Selfe said that it was only on that account that he mitigated the punishment. He was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. THE QUEEN'S RETURN FROM SCOT- LAND. Tier Majesty the Queen having determined to return direct from Balmoral to Osborne by the shortest railway route, the necessary arrangements have been completed with the various railway companies whose lines will be traversed by the royal party, for the performance of the journey from Aboyne to Edinburgh, on Saturdqy next, and from Edinburgh to Osborne during Monday next and Tuesday morning. The route taken will be over the Deeside Rail way from Aboyne to Aberdeen, when the Scottish North-Eastern line will be traversed to the city of Perth, where the Scottish Central Railway commences, and runs forward to the Larbert junction, at which point the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway is entered upon this line completing the journey to Waverley bridge station, in the city of Edinburgh. From Waverley the royal party will travel over the North British Railway to St. Margaret's station, where her Majesty will alight, and proceed in one of her own carriages to Holyrood. On Monday evening the route will be over the North British Railway from St. Margaret's station to Slateford, where the territory of the Caledonian line, extend ing thenceforward to the border city of Carlisle, is entered upon. At Carlisle the London and North- Western line commences, and runs for ward a distance of nearly 200 miles to the Bushbery junction of the West Midland line, over which the royal train will pass on to the low level station of the Great Wes tern Railway at Wolverhampton, from which place to Basingstoke the narrow gauge line of the" Broad Gauge Company" will be traversed. From Basing • stoke to Gosport her Majesty will, as usual, travel over the South Western Railway. The Queen's train will consist of the royal saloon carriage for her Majesty and the Prince Consort, two other saloons for the princesses and Prince Leopold, one family carriage for Prince Arthur, three other family carriages for the ladies and gentlemen of the royal suite aed for the directors, one first-class car riage for the pages and attendants, another first class carriage for the royal servants, three carriage trucks respectively for the dresser's carriage, and for the Queen's and the Prince's fourgon, and two breaks. By desire of her Majesty, the train will be under the exclusive direction of Mr. Cawkwell, general manager of the North-Western Railway, throughout the journey. The following is an epitome of the royal time table from Aboyne to Gosport : The Queen will commence her railway journey at Aboyne, at noon on Saturday, and arrive at the city of Aberdeen at 1.15 p.m. After a lapse of five minutes the train will move on 16 miles to Stone haven, where her Majesty will alight and partake of luncheon, for which half an hour is allowed. Starting from Stonehaven at 2.17 p.m., her Majesty will arrive at Forfar at 3.28 p.m. After four minutes' delay the train will resume its progress to Perth, which city her Majesty will reach at 4.30 p.m. Here five minutes are allowed before pro ceeding forward to Larbert, where the train is timed to arrive at 5.50 p.m. From Larbcrt to Edinburgh the journey will occupy 58 minutes, making a total of 192 miles performed in rather loss than six hours, exclusive of stoppages. Her Majesty will remain at Holyrood during Sunday and Monday next. On the evening oi the latter day the Queen will resume her progress southwards, leaving the St. Margaret's station at 6.45 p.m., and arriving at Abington, on the Caledonian line, where the first stoppage will be made to take in water, at 8.4 p.m. From Abington to the city of Carlisle the journey will be made without stoppage, the royal train arriving at the central station at 9.45 p.m. There will be 10 minutes' delay here for the service of tea and coffee in the train to the royal tra vellers. Again in motion, the journey will be continued from Carlisle to Shap wit hout stop page. At the latter place the engine will take in water, and Then run forward to Lancaster, at which royal borough the Queen is timed to arrive at five minutes before midnight. From Lancaster to Preston there will be no stoppage, and from Preston to Whitmore the journey will also be us interrupted. At Stafford, where the royal train will arrive at 2.45 a.m., the engines will be changed. The royal train will not stop at Bush bury, but will pass slowly through the junction of the West Midland Railway, and proceed over that line to the low level station at Wolverhampton, where a stoppage of five minutes will occur. Thenceforward to Leamington the journey will be run in 62 minutes, and to Banbury in 30 minutes more. From Banbury the royal train will proceed direct to the city of Oxford, where it is timed to arrive at 5.25 p.m. Here five minutes are allowed, and again in motion no further stoppage will take place until the Queen arrives at the Basingstoke junction of the South-Western Railway, over which her Majesty will travel, as usual, without any in terruption to Bishopstoke, and thence to Gosport, arriving at the latter place at five minutes to eight o'clock on Tuesday morning. By the adoption of this line there is a saving of distance of 56 miles as compared with the King's cross route in the journey between Edinburgh and Gosport, and it is equally free from break of gauge throughout. FIRE AT MESSRS. BIRLEY AND CO.'S OLD MILL. —About seven o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in one of the mixing rooms at Messrs. Birley and Co.'s Old Mill, in Cambridge-street, Manchester. The room was on the first storey of a three-storey building used for mixing ; the ground floor being occupied by several large boilers. The building was surrounded by the main por tions of the mill, and by Messrs. Binyon and Fryer's sugar mill. It was connected only with the other parts of the mill by iron fireproof doors leading to the blowing rooms. There was no machinery in the room, and when tie flames broke out there were no persons working there. several men and girls who w ere employed in the room above discovered the fire, a nd had gr eat difficulty iu mak ing their escape. An alarm was of course instantly given, and information was conveyed to the sugar mill of Messrs. Binyen and Fryer, and to the Police Yard. In less than five minutes, a hundred men from the sugar mill were playing three jets of water upon the flames which had by that time burnt through the upper storeys, and gained the roof. We believe these men had a fire-engine and the use of all the fire apparatus which Messrs. Binyon and Fryer n keep in constant readiness for any emer g enc y on thetr own o premises. The m en in the em p lo y o f Messrs. Birley a l s o obtained two s mall fire-en g ine s , which are kept Ito thans e with s Il hour two the engines fire and was a understrong ' the premises, and w orked them en ergetieall h y o till the arrival control and at 10 o 'clock the firemen were withdrawn , except' one of firemen. ° I n f A l l e r s; one (ie. two who we re left to play upon the cotton whilst it p was being turned over.

The dinner to celebrate the 30th annual meeting of the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society took place yesterday at Bolton under a tent, in a field opposite the show-s erd. It was a cold collation, laid out on nine long tables, with a cross table for the President and invited guests. There were nearly 500 persons present. Viscount Newport, M.P., the president of the society for the year, took the chair, and was accompanied by Lord Stanley, M.P., Mr. Legh, M.P., Major Gray, M.P., Sir James P. Kay ' Shuttleworth, Bart., the Mayor of Bolton (Mr. John Orton), the Vicar of Bolton (Rev. Henry Powell), Colonel Blackburne, Major Bourne, Capt. R. Bridson, Revs. J. S. Birley, A. Packer, Lindon, Thicknesse, Turner, &c. ; and Messrs. Thomas Cross, Martin, Peter Ainsworth, Ormrod, John Fletcher, R. H. Ainsworth, &c. The PRESIDENT gave the usual loyal toasts, and after wards the " Bishop and Clergy," which was responded to by the Vicar of Bolton. The PRESIDENT then gave the "Army and Navy”..._ (cheers)—and having made some remarks on both services, thus alluded to the Volunteer movement :—There is another branch—l may call it a new branch—which has lately been added to the army. I allude, of course, to that magnificent body of men which has come forward during the present year to tender their services as a volunteer unpaid army—(great cheering)—and it requires nothing more than the most ordinary common sense to see the enormous value of that body in this country, not only physically, but on account of the spirit which it shows still lies in the heart of every Englishman. (Hear, hear.) I think I read, a day or two ' ago, in an article upon what is called the Volunteer move ment, one or two words which appeared to me to put the case very clearly and appositely. It was this—that nobody ever doubted that Englishmen were full of courage, collec tively and individually; but the Volunteer movement has caused an union and a discipline which was hitherto un known, except in the regular army of the country ; and that, in a military sense, two and two make a great deal more than four. (Cheers.) Col. BLACE.BURNE responded to the toast. The PRESIDENT proposed the health of the patrons of the Society, Lord Derby and Lord Egerton. Lord STANLEY (who was received with loud cheers) re plied on behalf of the Earl of Derby, and in the course of his obsei vations he referred to the volunteer movement in the following terms :—Gentlemen,—My friend, Lord New port, made some allusion, when speaking of the Volunteer movement, to that review which lately came off at Knows ley. I do not know if many of those whom I have now the pleasure of addressing were present there. If they were I hope they enjoyed the sight; but of this I am sure, that no one of the vast concourse there assembled can have enjoyed it half so much as he by whose invitation some 150,000 of his neighbours came to pay him the compliment of a visit at home. (Hear, hear.) I don't know that this Volunteer movement is precisely the subject which is uppermost in our minds on this occa sion, but it is a subject which I think is very much in all our minds ; and perhaps, as I have allwied to it, you will allow me to express a hope that, after that marvellous dis play of patriotic feeling which has been witnessed in this country during the present year, the Volunteer move ment will not die away when the memory of the cir cumstances that gave it birth begins to fade—(hear, hear)—but that it 'will become a permanent part of the institutions of this country. (Cheers.) I believe it has done more than any increase to the regular army possibly could have done to elevate the position of England among the nations of Europe—(cheers)—and I think so for this reason, that it has shown to every foreign population and to every foreign prince that in this country, however it may be elsewhere, the Government and the nation are one—(bear, hear, and cheers)—and that whoever con tends with England has to do not merely with the Government, not merely with the army, but with the united nation in arms. (Renewed cheering.) It is a purely defensive movement; it has nothing of aggres sion in it; it causes no fear of jealousy in any foreign country ; it is nothing new, but is only what our fathers under similar circumstances did before us ; it is only a practical recognition of the sound old principle that in case of emergency, in case of invasion, or danger of inva sion, the State has a right to the services of every ahle b,died man. (Cheers.) We cannot have great reviews and great Volunteer demonstrations every week or every month in the year, and it is not desirable on many ac• eonnte that we should, but there is one kind of demonstra tion which we may have very often, and with compara tively little trouble—l mean those shooting matches which are so common abroad, of which the first example in this country was set at Wimbledon, and which I hope before long we shall see introduced into every county in Eng land. I hope to see them take a place amongst our na tional amusements, and if they become an amusement, as well as a means of military discipline, I am sure that Lan cashire will not be left behind. (Much cheering.) I have wandered from the subject of the toast; but I have been talking of what I know is foremost in my father's mind.— (C heers.) SHIPS OF WAR ON THE CHINA ST.ATION.

(From a Correspondent of the London and China Telegraph ) TALIENWAN BAY, July 12.—The mail closes to morrow. Lord Elgin arrived on the 9th per Feroze. With Lord Elgin came his staff and the Times' correspondent. Of course you must know long ere this that both English and French ambas sadors were on board the Malabar mail steamer when she was lost at Galle and lost every thing. Many of the mail bags have been recovered, but most of the letters in a sad unseasonable state, en velopes off, &c., so that there were very many letters came to people they were never intended for. I believe all the official despatches were recovered. On the Bth a French gun•boat came in hero to announce that the French force would be ready to move on the 23d (they are all at Chefoo on the opposite side of the Gulf), and though not officially announced, it is understood that we are to start from here on the 23d for the Peiho, and opera tions to commence immediately. We have only been waiting for them. The weather has been beautiful until t o -d a y— n i ce coo l, d r y wea th er , on ly rather hot in the sun for a few hours in the middle of theday, but there is every indication of a change by the barometer falling and a sudden change of wind to N.E. and thick weather, The troops are all in good he a lth, notwithstanding their salt ra tions, occasionally varied with a little tough com missariat beef ; for I ant sorry to say that the mur rain got amongst the bullocks thai have been bought up for the use of the troops, and great quantities of them died before they could be landed. These last few days fresh bread made in the divisional ambulating ovens has been served out, and very good it ie. The Ist Division is encamped over in Vic toria Bay, Sir J. Michelin command, and Brigadiers Sutton and Staveley under him, the Ist brigade consisting of tie 60th Rifles, 2d Queen's, and 15th Punjaab Regiment; the 2d brigade, of the Ist Royals, 31st Regiment, and Major Fisher's Engi neers, with, of course, a large Coolie Corps. Th e 2d Division is under General Sir Lobert Napier, with Brigadiers Japhson and Reeves, commanding brigades of infantry; Crofton, artillery; and Pattle, the cavalry. They are all over on the opposite side of the bay, in several different small bays, where water is to be had. Fresh provisions are to be had in small quantities, pigs, fowls, and vegetables, on that side, Lord John Hay having established a market in Odin Bay, where the 2d Division are, but nothing is to be got on the other side. The country people keep aloof from us as much as possible ; they are not uncivil, but that is, I fancy, only because they stand in awe of us. Parties have been sent out to look at the country around, it is full of villages, and every where grain is growing, which in a couple of weeks will be fit for cutting; plenty of bullocks and ponies have been seen from the hills in the country beyond, but they are driven off directly any one approaches. There is a small Tartar camp reported a few miles from here, but nothing has been seen of any of them. Oar whole force has been living in hill tents, generals and all, with the exception of Sir H. Grant, who lives on board his steam vessel the Granada with all his staff. The camps have not much improved the corn-fields in which they are pitched or have their field days either. On the 14th the Ist Division are to have races and 'all kinds of games, &c., for the troops, under the auspices of Sir J. Michel, who is as good a sportsman as he is a soldier, and beloved by every one. Now for the fleet. They have all been scattered about in the different small bays with so many transports under each vessel's care, with the exception of the Centaur, which is at Shang hai loading with bullocks, &c. ; the Furious is there also with Mr. Bruce. The Snake is at Chusan, Nimrod at Shanghai and remains there, Acorn at Amoy, Camilla at Japan, and Roebuck on the way up here with the expected mails ; Actseon, with gunboats Dove, Algerine, and Leven away surveying a little to the northward. A sad thing has happened on board the latter vessel, commanded by Lieutenant Hudson. On the morning of the 9th it appears he sent for a marine, who had been acting as his steward, to come down to the cabin—the man had made away with a great deal of wine and spirits, and was still under the influence of his debauch—whilst Hudson was speaking he snatched down a small French breech-loading revolver that was hanging over head and shot Hudson through the back (it was supposed at first killed him); the report was so slight it was not heard on deck, so the marine went up the ladder and calicd down the Second-Master Ashton into the cabin, saying the commander wanted him, and on his en tering, shot him also ; by that time an alarm was given, and the marine seized. Captain Ward placed an officer on board, and sent the Leven in here. Lieutenant Hudson and Mr. Ashton 'were both sent on board the Simoom hospital ship, and I am happy to say accounts to-day from there say that there are hopes of the former, and that the latter officer is much better. A court-martial is sitting to-day I on board the Imperieuse, with Rear-Admiral Jones as president, to try the marine. The Commander and Master of the Assistance were tried (for losing that vessel at the back of Hong Kong) last week, and got off very cheaply, merely a slight reprimand: the court-martial only occupied one day. Every one is kept pretty well at work here afloat, what with loading and unload ing ship, embarking and disembarking stores—for there is going to be a depot formed, and 2,000 men, under Brigadier Reeves, left behind, be cause the French don't like our having a larger force than they have. The 99th, and a battery of artillery, with our native regiments, are to be left, it is seid. Part of the 99th are left at Chusan. All looting, or ill-treatment of the peasantry, is strictly forbidden, and the Provost Marshal punishes it at once. Many of the natives arc living close round, and in the camp. No one under the rank of a commissioned officer is allowed outside the outposts, and there are regular landing places at which only boats can land. The 20 junks the Encounter took and brought in, by order of the Admiral, are being loaded with commissariat stores to go up the Peiho. They are manned with the crew of the lost Assistance : they draw very little water. I have just heard of the death of Major Lums den, an officer on Sir Robert Napier's staff ; he was drowned last night by the 'upsetting of a boat in going from the Granada to the 2d division camp Another officer of engineers was drowned with him ; his name, I believe, was Capt. Gordon. The beat was picked up this morning, floating about tho wi harbour, bottom up, with two men on k er. re Ho over pes are entertained that Lieut. Hudsonl o ; Mr. Ashton was well enough to give his . evidence at the court-martial. It app eal ' s that it was ex pected that something of the kind would happen to Lieut. Hudson, and that t h ou gh the shot - must have been heard no one would acknowledge it. The court-martial is over, and the marine is sen tenced to be .E.MANCIP.,iTION 81A . OF TILE SERFS IN BUS Sr. PETERSBURG, Sept. 4.—We learn from a re liable source that the grand committee has at last brought to a conclusion the revision of its volumi nous report on the emancipation of the serfs in Russia, and that the printing of that important document will soon be finished. The Emperor Alexander has already caused all necessary measures to be taken in the Imperial Chancellerie and in the Ministerial Department of the Domains and Appanagcs of the Crown, to ensure before the end of this year, and probably in a short time after his return from his projected journey to Poland, the proclamation of the serfs throughout the whole of Russia. This solemn act, which will have an immense bearing on the material prosperity and the physical and moral well being of 15,000,000 of individuals attached to the soil and owned as property by their masters,will immortalise the reign of Alexander 11., and profoundly affect the basis on which the empire has rested for so many centuries. When such considerable changes are accomplished in a great country it almost always happens that many private interests and individual fortunes are compromised by them. This is what will undoubtedly happen when the emancipation will be decreed. As respects the lower nobility possessing each a small number of serfs, and pro perties of little extent, they will find themselves heavily aggrieved by charges and hypothecation:l often exceeding the real value of their lands a that of the families of labourers attached thereto,ci and on which these nobles have borrowed ro_...,ie: at so much per head. This class of poor o will find themselves, by the emancipation being serfs, in a very painful position, bond in debts con obliged to pay the interest sloesanosf tracted by them, as they will of no t . beir futhueir to dispose of the persons ike merchandise or of. b c o n ager p e b a be a a n b t l s e , nor to sell their people obtain future new re ea beasts of burden, nor yet be Disar the Imperial Govern , news continues upon the security of their P pressure for money. of Tartar families goes on , to arrive from the meat.
