The sanguinary retribution now being dealt out by FUAD PAcHA among the fanatical ringleaders of the Syrian revolt and massacres, will not be sufficient to satisfy the just demands, or to allay the natural solicitude excited by late events throughout Christendom. Something more is re quired to bring about either of these good results than a series of ruthless executions. A few among the more conspicuous of the blood-stained marauders ' who have descended from their fastnesses in the range of the Lebanon Mountains, to carry death and desolation, fire and sword, through cities and villages, throughout the whole country side, down to the very shores of the Mediterranean—the chief among these wretches it may be have already died the death in well-merited expiation of their wholesale atrocities—but when their remains have all been buried away under the polluted soil of Syria, the source of all these horrors, unless something else be done, unless some thing better than mere retributive executions be adventured upon by order of the Divan, will still remain ! And that source—what is it but the weakness and demoralisation of the Turkish Govern ment ? The recognition of this is in no way restricted to one or two, or yet to two or three, of the Five Great Powers of Europe. The whole of those five great P• awers recognise the fact that it is so with equal ell !arness. They have come now to be of one mind up on the subject. England, and France, and Austria, and Prussia, and Russia all think alike as to the absolute and imperative necessity at length of the Ottoman Porte putting its house in order if it -wishes still to maintain its position on this side of the Bosphorus. For four hundred years and upwards the Turk has held that anomalous position simply upon sufferance. The jealousies of the Christian sovereignties have alone secured to Won during these four centuries this otherwise bywildering and explicable toleration. Eventually the evil has been growing more potent than the jealousies in the midst of which it has been rank li and expanding. The last magnanimous war undertaken by the Western Powers with a view to repel the daring advance of the Autocrat for the law less seizure of Constantinople, has exhausted the g enerosity of the two most civilized and puissant among the great powers of Christendom. In return for the blood and treasure squandered in generous defence of the" rights" (such as they are) of Turkey, trader the walls of Sebastopol,now but half-a-dozen years ago, by Franco and England—the Christian population of Syria has been treacherously butchered in cold blood to the number of many tbtousands, old and young, men, women, and children, with the connivance, if not with the actual co-operation, of the Mussulman authorities. Prior to these dreadful occurrences, the weakness and the demoralisation of the Turkish Government had been fully recognised by the five great Powers of Chris tendom. The Syrian massacres have only confirmed those five great Powers in the conviction at which they had already arrived— namely, a conviction as to the necessity, at last, for their simultaneous interposition in behalf of the Christian population of Turkey—a population long notoriously ground down to the very dust under the heel of the Mahometan Government. As far back as the 23d of April, Prince GORTSCHAKOFF had written explicitly upon this point to the various Russian diplomatic aqents, in the name, of course, exclusively of the Government of the AUTOCRAT, but in the fullest accord and coincidence with the views entertained upkon the subject by the whole of the four other great Powers of Christendom. For the expre ss purpose, in effect, of setting the matter in question at rest definitively—wrote the Itussau Minister for Foreign. Affairs, at the date and in the document already indicated—" and wishing to establish as complete an understanding as possible, I, by order of the EMPEROR, assembled round me the representatives; England, Austria, France, and Prussia. I point ed out to them the danger of a crisis, the urgency of preventing it, and the means which we thought the best calculated to effect this object. I requested them to make the necessary communications to their Govern met.ts, and to unite in the steps we proposed to take. Wishing to fix on some determinate bases for these proceedings, the representatives, under the reserve of the sanction of their respective Courts agreed with me on the following points :-1. Anim mediate declaration on the part of the five Great Powers that they could no longer tolerate the pre sent state of things in the Christian provinces of the Ottoman empire. 2. A demand for an organi sation, having for object to give to the Christian provinces of the Porte effectual guarantees calcu lated to satisfy the legitimate complaints of the people, and at the same time to tranquillise Eu rope with regard to the possibility of complications which affected her generll interests as well as those of Turkey." These were the basis agreed upon, remember, in the Spring by the representa tives of the Five Great Powers assembled together at St. Petersburg, in delibera tion upon the state of affairs in Turkey. And in the Summer—came the Syrian Massacre of the Christian population ! And—in the Autumn—has arrived the punishment of the leading assassins ! A punishment which, as we have said, will not suf fice to satisfy the just demands, or to allay the natural solicitude of the powers of Christendom. These executions are only sufficient for the specific offence, for the heinous guilt of which they are, as far as they can be, the expiation upon a compara tively few individuals. Larger results must follow. Upon this England, and France, and Russia, and Austria, and Prussia are alike resolved. Liverpool took the lead in giving England and the world the greatest boon next to the steam engine itself—the Railway; and if America has preceded us in the street railway, still young Liverpool has taken the lead in giving England the street railway. While Sir BENJAMIN HALL and Lord JOHN MANNERS were waited on by deputations to promote the object in vain, badgered as they were by hostile parties also, other minds determined to do the thing, somewhere. If a street railway in successful and profitable working could but be shown to the business men of this eountry, then it was certain that the street railway would become as common as the road railway, and Bir kenhead was the town in which the local commis sioners had the good sense to give the plan a fair trial. Of course the mechanical success of the undertaking was made quite sure by trials some time before ; but last Thursday, the 30th of August, was the day on which the new system was fairly brought before the public, by the formal opening of the railway. A merry day it seems to have been in Birkenhead, as it deserved to be. Vast crowds assembled to witness the running of the new car riages on the new road, and of course a banquet and speeches wound up the business of the day. As some of our readers may have overlooked the description of the railway and its carriage, we may advert again to the most important points. The horse tramway, as it might be more properly called, is nothing more than what most of us have seen before in private establishments, where the amount of hauling to be done is large. It consists of two long parallel flat plates of iron, with the outer edges of each turned up a little to prevent the carriage from running off easily, but yet not so high as to interfere with the ordinary traffic ; indeed, common carriages can use them, turning off, of course, when the omnibus for which they were laid dowa makes its appearance. The tramways are laid on longitudinal sleepers, and the work com pletely falsifies all the predictions of alarmists as to any bad effect on the road itself, or as to its being any obstacle to the traffic of all kinds and in all directions. A kind of road is merely furnished, which, by diminishing the friction, enables two horses to do easily what would be hard, or impos sible work, for four. Even the benevolent fear ex pressed lest stones and rubbish getting on the tram way should make the draught still too laborious, turns out, like all the other croakings, to be ground. less. The carriage is fitted with sweepers, which keep its road as clear from such minor obstructions as can be desired ; and easy stoppage as well as easy progress is provided for, hand-breaks at each end fixing all the four wheels at once. The carriages themselves appear already to be all that can be desired ; certainly they are luxury itself compared with what we now endure, squeezed in the inside, perplexed to get past a double row of hostile knees to enjoy even that privilege, and equally perplexed to get out ; not to mention the miseries of the elevated " knife-hoard," or your alternative in front of the nudgings of the driver's elbow, or the pressure of a thin rail of iron some where below the " fifth rib." You are allowed to walk upright, if of the ordinary stature, seven feet being allowed you for that purpose. Seven feet are also allowed you in width, which leaves so much room between the double row of knees that it is proposed to utilise it when wanted, like the aisles of SPURGEON'S Tabernacle, as standing room. In a shower of rain it would certainly be somewhat ungallant to refuse to stand up to admit a lady to a seat ; on the other hand—we speak without having yet seen—we should think it would be no little diminution from comfort to have a living wall, two or three feet thick and five or six feet high, before you for half an hour. Such mat ters will, however, be soon adjusted between pro prietors and the public. As the carriages are 24 feet long, they will seat 22 inside, as many on the roof ; and, it is said, as many more can stand if they please—about 70 in all ! The wheels of the carriages are like those of a railway carriage, but somewhat smaller; and at each end of the vehicle is a small platform about a foot from the ground, by which passengers enter with ease, while it is protected from the horses, which can be yoked to either end by a large splash board. Such are some of the principal features of the new machine, as we may call it—for the rails and the carriage form but one machine—by which we are certainly at no distant time to traverse our crowded streets. At present the omnibus ride is the daily necessity and misery of thousands,—of all who do not keep their own carriage, or who can not afford to " call a cab," as their regular means of conveyance to the suburbs. Equally is it the bore of those who must take one from the railway sta tion, an annoyance which the Metropolitan Rail way will soon materially diminish. We need not say that another nuisance, frequently a greater trial to patience than all, will be, we may hope, entirely got rid of. Many times in the busy parts of the day we have •known what it is to save time by keeping to the pavement, from Temple Bar to the foot of London-bridge, and of course over it; not to mention the advantage, if health and strength permitted, of avoiding the shaking and squeezing, as well as the intolerable waiting till the lock-up of carriages somehow got lose again. When a singe omnibus will supersede three of the present aggres sors on our time, we may hope to get along a little faster than our legs could easily carry us. And yet another advantage we may look for—the probability of finding a place in wet weather. Who does not knoe that, unless he be near where the omnibus starts from, he has no chance at all if the day be one in which he most needs a conveyance. We watch anxiously the arrival of each omnibus on our line; but we have no need to wait for the cry " Full inside"—a few half-lucky wights may be seen, before the 'bus comes up—outside--contend ing with head-winds it may be, or with the eddy winds of cross-streets as best they may, their um brellas alternately exhibiting both their sides, and pretty plainly saying by their look—" We should not have been up here could we have been down inside." The new omnibuses will give us a great part of the advantage, in bad weather and busy times, of railway accommodation. Indeed, by a little good management, with an adequate " rolling stock" and stud of horses, we do not see that they need, in this respect, leave us anything to desire. We cordially congratulate Mr. TRAIN on the suc cess which his energy and skill have so well earned, and shall give him a most hearty welcome to our metropolis, the place which needs him more than any other in the world. Saturday the first of September will be long and gratefully remembered in Lancashire for the grand review at Knowsley Park, the magnificent seat of the Earl of DERBY. The Park contains upwards of 180 acres—and was crowded by a truly patriotic host of gallant Volunteers, numbering about 11,000 men, and some one hundred and fifty thousand spec tators from the surrounding towns and villages— Liverpool and Manchester contributing their loyal tens of thousands. The chivalry and beauty of Lancashire were there in gay costume, and the Volunteer Highlanders of Liverpool— " All plaided and plumed in their tartan array" gave a picturesque variety to the splendid scene. Well might Lord DERBY be proud of such a glorious gathering on the domains of his chivalrous an cestry. Nor was the patriotism of the manly bands the least prominent feeling in the assemblage —their soldierly bearing and excellent discipline elicited the wonder as it challenged the admiration of all beholders. LATL6 N E The following telegrams have been received at • Mr. Renter's office : Lancashire may well be proud of her sons thus collected in the splendid park of Knowsley ; and the Earl of DERBY may be prouder still that he had the honour of seeing such an assembly. The nobleHosegave each and all a most generous reception —dispensing, with princely hand, the bounty of old English hospitality in a right English and Baronial spirit. It was' worthy of the house of DERBY. The Volunteer Movement may now be said to have acquired a truly national character, and a patriotic emulation seems to be the order of the day. The spectators on Saturday looked and felt proud of their country as the various bands in their diversified uniforms marched before them, and many no doubt thought of the spirited lines of ELIZA COOK : " Then here's to the Grey, and the Green, and the Blue, Never heed in what colours you find them ; But be sure they'll be dyed a blood-red through and through, Ere the chains of a Despot can bind them I" As General WETHERALL reviewed the lines, he frequently stopped to examine the fine order of the men, their accoutrements and martial bear ing. Indeed he could not help recalling to mind the lines of GOLDSMITH as he watched the march of the battalions with— Pride in their port—defiance in their eye— I see the lords of human kind p iss by. And long may England produce such sons worthy of the best days of their glorious forefathers. Tt may be interesting to be reminded that Knows ley, with its " Chambers fair, and glorious halls, Sparkling roof and glittering walls," • TURIN, SEPT. 2. The Opinione of to-day publishes the following telegram, dated— NAPLES, SEPT. 1. Garibaldi has arrived at Monteleone. Part of the Royal troops have fraternised with the insurgents, and part have been dispersed. The province of Salerno has risen in insurrec tion, to the cry of " Long live Victor Emmanuel !" The enthusiasm of the population is extraordi nary. The Royal troops, who had been sent to rein force the garrison of Monteleone, have retired upon Avellino. The Opiitione also announces that the Count of Syracuse is expected to arrive this evening (Sun day) in Turin. NAPLES (VIA MARSEILLES), AUG. 28. The King intended to change his Ministry, but Prince d'lschitella refused to accept the Presi dency, and nobody else dared to accept it. General Castrofiano has been appointed Com mander-in-Chief at Naples. He assembled the general staff of the National Guard, and declared to them that he reckoned on their assistance, but that he would shoot , all traitors and the chiefs of the secret societies'. and its lordly park, is the principal seat of the DERBY family, and is situated within about eight miles of Liverpool. The park, which encloses fully 180 acres, independently of extensive plantations, is nearly ten miles in circumference. The hall has more of the grandeur created by ample dimensions than by architectural style. The portion prepared for the reception of HENRY VII., and for the sojourn of the Prince Regent in later times, was rebuilt, in 1820, of stone, with battlements, small towers, and crenelated parapets. Over the south or front en trance, beneath the family arms, is this inscrip tion : The King has also reviewed the same general staff, and promised that he would not bombard the city. The Minister Pianelli has returned from his expedition. He has assembled 20,000 men at Salerno, under the command of Generals Bosco and Barbalonga. Another military camp is being formed at Avellino. "James, Earl of Derby, Lord of Man and the Isles, grandson of James, Earl of Derby, and of Charlotte, daughter of Claude, Duke de la Tremo wille, whose husband James was beheaded at Bol ton, 15th October, 1652, for strenuously adhering to Charles IL, whorefused a bill passed unanimously by both Houses of Parliament for restoring to the family the estates lost by his loyalty to him, 1732," The King and Count Trapani intend to try the issue of arms, and then withdrawn to Gaeta. The National Guard of Reggio having surprised some Neapolitan troops, fired upon them within a very close distance, and a horrible melee ensued. It is asserted that Garibaldi is at Potenza. TURIN, SEPT. 2. Extensive military movements are taking place. It is said that the troops are to be concentrated on the frontier. The Count of Syracuse has arrived and taken up his residence in the Royal Palace. The Gazetta di Torino announces that Signor Farini will leave to-morrow for Florence. According to advices from Naples, Garibaldi was marching upon Salerno. NAPLES (via GENOA), SEPT. 2. The province of Terra di Lavoro has risen in insurrection. Bands of insurgents have united, and are march ing upon Campolasso. WATERSPOUTS IN WALES. POTSDAM, SEPT 2. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Prince Regent of Prussia and all the Royal Princes have been invited by the Emperor of Russia to a grand hunting party at Warsaw. The Prince Regent will probably proceed there in the middle of the present month, after the con clusion of the manoeuvres of the Prussian troops. This visit may be officially considered as made in return for the last visit of the Emperor Alexander to Breslau. DAMASCUS, AUG. 20. This morning 167 persons, implicated in the late massacres, and on whim sentence had been passed, were publicly executed. Fifty-seven of the condemned were hanged in the most populous parts of the city, and 110 of the local police were shot in the square Djenk Meidan. These executions have struck terror into the inhabi tants of the city, which remained tranquil. To-morrow those condemned to hard labour and detention will be taken under a strong escort to Beyrout, where they will be immediately embarked for Constantinople. Among the persons hanged were brothers, sons, and parents of the first men in the country. No attention was paid to their rank or dignity. To-morrow all the other principal parties com promised will be arrested, tried, and punished. The trial of the ex-Governor, Ahmed Agha, and other officers, is proceeding before a Council of War. The sentences will be enforced immediately after they are pronounced. The guilty persons who escaped after the massa cres will be tried as outlaws. A very unusual phenomenon took place at Portmadoc last Saturday evening, at about 5 p.m. It was not a shower of frogs, but it was the descent of two largo waterspouts from an enormous mass of clouds which had come across the upper part of Cardigan Bay in a south -easterly direc tion. They both formed about a mile or two out at sea, and crossed the long neck of sand which runs out about three or four miles from the base of the hill on which Haarleeh Castle stands. The sight was grand and exciting, as the base of the cloud from which they came was at an altitude of not less than 1,000 feet. The first broke in its passage over the sands, and reformed again at the side of the mountain (behind Haarlech), over which it careered in wild fury, and when it reached the top it dissolved and re formed again in a jagged form, like forked lightning. While this was going on, another much larger than the first, and very eccentric in form, suddenly descended in about the same place the other had commenced in, and broke before it reached the land. They will undergo the penalties as soon as they are seized. The army of the Sultan acts with the most rigorous discipline, and in perfect loyalty. The arm of justice is absolutely triumphant. Perfect tranquillity reigns on all the borders of The present proprietor of Knowsley, Edward Geoffrey Stanley (Earl of Derby, Baron Stanley, of Bicker staffe, and Baronet Chancellor of the University of .ixford) was born 29th March, 1799, married 31st May, 1825, T?,mn a Caroline, second daughter of Edward, Lord Skelmersdale, and has Edward Henry, Lord Stanley, M.P., born July 21st, 1826, Frederick Arthur, born 15th January, 1841, and Emma Charlotte. SAVINGS BANKS AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.— On Saturday the act to make further provision with respect to moneys received from savings banks and friendly societies was printed. The object of this act, which only contains two sections, is to enable the Government to invest the moneys in all Parliamentary securities. Hitherto the in vestments have been confined to Consols. An annual ac count is to be laid before Parliament. Syria. O'rder is re-established at Saida and its environs. PARIS, SEPT. 2. The Patrie of this evening says The 52d in fantry regiment has only been despatched to Rome in order to replace another regiment, which will return to France." The same journal says :—The report ttat Austria is about to occupy the Marches and Umbria is with out foundation. Austria will confine herself to repelling any attack which may eventually be made upon Venetia. France will protect Rome alone, as the army of General Lamoriciere suffices for the defence of the Pontifical provinces." The Pays of this evening states that there is no foundation in the rumour that Signor Farini had requested the Emperor to send French regiments to garrison the different towns of Lombardy. PARIS, SEPT. 3. A letter from Leipsic announces that that city was visited by a tremendous hurricane on Monday last, which caused immense damage. Of 2,300 houses and pub lic buildings, there was not one of which the windows w ere not broken y largo hailstones. There were 900 panes of glass broken at the Town-hall, and as many at the Post office ; 1,800 in the house of the bookseller Brockhaus. There aro 2,000 booksellers in Leipsic, besides num erous printing establishments, all of which have been closed for repairs since the storm. MR. W. S. LINDSAY'S MISSION TO WASHING.. TON.-A writer, in a letter to a contemporary, says,—The papers of Saturday and Monday last inform the public that " elr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., has been authorised to proceed to Washington, to place before the American Cabinet and. Senate the views of her Majesty's Government with refer ence to the existing navigation laws of the States." H e i s also authorised, it would appear, " to enter into negotia tions for the opening of the American coasting trade to British shipping," and to arrive "at a mutual understanding respecting belligerent righ's at sea ;" and, further, he is appointed to effect " a more satisfactory adjustment of the laws of each country in reference to collisions." One paper asserts that Mr. Lindsay "is to proceed to Washington as a special envoy on the part of the British Government." Truly this is a most important mission—one before which that of the Prince of Wales sinks into insignificance. On this account it is all the more important that the shipping interest should be accurately informed as to the real nature of Mr. Lindsay's appointment. According to one paper he is simply "authorised to proceed to Washington," while another says he goes, "As a special envoy from the British Government." With many shippers the question is, has Mr. Lindsay merely thrust himself on Government and stated that he was going out to Washington and that he w ould endeavour whn there to effect a settlement of these national differences; or is it the fact that the British Go vernment has actually sent for Mr. Lindsay and requested him to go out as its "special envoy" to the Cabinet and Senate of the United States, and supplied him with proper credentials and power to treat and settle these very impor tant points? Many of the shipping interest think them- selves entitled to a proper explanation about the ambassa dorial " authorisation' with which some papers invest Mr. Lindsay. The .3foniteur of to-day says :—Their Majesties have arrived at Chamounix, and were enthusiasti cally received. The Moniteur also publishes a letter from Prince Murat, protesting against the interpretation given by that journal to his former letter. The Prince says :—" I havo never had the pre tension to engage in anticipation the policy of the Emperor, nor the alliance of France. But I wished to say that should universal suffrage, free from all foreign influence, pronounce itself in my favour, the wishes of the populatinn would doubtless be no less reQpected at Naples than they have been in the other parts of VIENNA, MONDAY. Prince Metternich has conferences daily with Count ltichberg, at which Baron Prokesch, the Austrian internuncio at Constantinople, is also present. On this account the Prince has prolonged his stay here for some days. He had a private audience of the Emperor on Friday. The Prince, before leaving Paris, had an inter view with the Emperor Napoleon, from whom he brings the most pacific and friendly assurances. The Prince leaves to•day for his estates in Bo- TEE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1860 hemio., where he intends staying for six weeks, un less unforeseen events should oblige him to return within an earlier period. BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS. The Indus, with the heavy portion of the above mails, left Alexandria on the 27th August, and may therefore be expected at Southampton about the 10th inst. The Benares arrived at Suez from Bombay on :he 26th August. OUTWARD MAILS. The Bombay, with the London mails of the 4th to the 10th July, reached Ceylon on the 4th Aug., and transferred her mails to the Columbian, for conveyance to Calcutta. The Emeu took on the mails to China. The Pera (from Southampton on the 20th Aug.) arrived at Malta on the 29th, at 9 a.m., and left for Alexandria at G p,m. The Ellora (from Southampton 27th August) reached Gibraltar on the Ist inst. All well. She encountered severe weather in the Bay of Biscay. BOMBAY, AUG. 8. Sir Henry Ward died of cholera at Madras on ,he 2d inst. Extraordinary revelations have taken place in a libel case as to the manner in which taxes have been collected in Oude. HONG KONG, JULY 17. The British forces were ready for attack, but the French had protested against commencing hostili ties on account of having lost all their harness in the vessel which was wrecked at Amoy, and having also 2,000 men less thanthe British. On the 26th June Lord Elgin induced Baron Gros to withdraw the protest. The attack was to commence immediat6ly. ITALY. The following is the text of the letter addressed to the King of Naples by the Count of Syracuse : " Sire, —If my voice was ono day raised and not listened to, to conjure the dangers which menace our house, may it now, while it predicts greater misfortunes, find its way to your heart, and not be repelled by imprudent and more fatal advice " The change that has taken place in the condition of Italy, and the feeling of national unity, which has grown into a giant during the few months which followed the fall of Palermo, have deprived your Majesty's Government of the vigour necessary to rule a State, and rendered a league with Piedmont impossible. The people of Upper Italy, horrified at the intelligence of the cruelties committed in Sicily, repelled in their hearts the Ambassadors from Naples, and we have therefore been abandoned to the chances of war alone, without alliance, and exposed to the resentment of the multitude which has risen from all parts of Italy to the cry of extermination hurled against our House, which has become the mark for universal reproba tion. Meanwhile, civil war, which is already spreading over the provinces of the Continent, will carry away the dynasty into that ultimate ruin which the iniquitous arts of perverse advisers have long been preparing for the de scendants of Charles 111. of Bourbon; the blood of the ci tizens, uselessly spilt, will again flood the thousand towns of the kingdom, and you, once the hopo and love of the people, will be regarded with horror as the sole cause of a fratricidal war. " Sire, while it is yet time, save our House from the curses of all Italy I Follow the noble example of our Royal kinswoman of Parma, who, on the breaking out of civil war, released her subjects from their allegiance, and left them to be arbiters of their own destinies. Europe and your subjects will take your sublime sacrifice into account, and you, Sire, will be able to raise your brew in confidence up to God, who will reward the magnanimous act of your Majesty. Your heart, tempered by adversity, will become accessible to the noble aspirations of patriotism, and will bless the day when you generously sacrificed yourself for the greatness of Italy. " With these words, Sire, I fulfil the sacred duty which my experience imposes upon me, and I pray to God that He may enlighten you, and render you deserving of His bles sings. " Your Majesty's affectionate uncle, " LEOPOLD, Count of Syracuse. " Naples, Aug. 24." THE PARLIAMENT OF EUROPE. (From the Examiner.) But now let us ask if it is not a narrow view of the office of Parliament to judge it by the additions to the statute-book, or by the fulfilment or failure of Ministerial pleadings or hopes. The Parliament -of Great Britain is a great deal more than a legis lature. With respect to ourselves and our domes tic affairs, the legislative functions occupy, no doubt, the first place ; but it is by the performance of other duties, that it exerts its authority abroad, and influences the opinions and affairs of the world. When the nations of Europe wait for its opening with anxiety, and watch its proceedings with so profound an interest, it is not to observe how many new laws it makes, but to collect from its debates the opinion and feeling of England. The repre sentatives of the English people are lawgivers in this sense to every country on the face of the earth which either admires our freedom or stands in wholesome awe of it. In tines of general repose or stagnation this great function is com paratively dormant, but its exercise was never more important than during the late session ; nor was it, we are satisfied, ever more worthily exerted. With out undervaluing any domestic reform which has miscarried, or extenuating the blame of any party or any individuals responsible for the legislative failures, we contend that a parliament has not been inefficient which in the present state of the conti nent has done so much for liberty, when her cause had hardly any other support. Where else had Italy a firm and disinterested friend but in our Go• vernment and House of Commons? From whence would one honest cheer have reached her struggling patriots had the Parliament of England been silent ? Or by whom would the mask have been torn from the crooked and selfish policy of the French Em pire ? Let us not underrate services like these. If we estimate the session just closed by the uncom pleted programme of reforms with which Ministers too confidently opened it, the short- comings are great indeed ; but the writer who relates for posterity the European history of the day, the march of Italy to union and independence, the thorough awaken ing of Germany to a sense of her dangers, and the salutary check which has been given to the aggressions of France by sounding in time the note of warning to every state threatened by her ambi tion, will acknowledge that English statesmanship, speaking through its great organ, the English Par liament, never made itself more beneficially felt ; never did more for freedom, or more for peace. If we have to regret a Reform Bill, if we have to mourn over a Bankruptcy Bill, at least we have not to blush for a Parliament with Sir George Bowyer's affection for tyrants, or Mr. Bright's preference of money and cotton to all other human interests. The House of Commons might have talked much less with immense advantage, even upon foreign questions, prominent as they were, and inviting of discussion, but upon the whole the speaking was in the right strain, cordial and fearless ; it expressed generous feelings, proclaimed sound principles, vin dicated great names from foul aspersion ; it as sured Garibaldi that the English heart was with him ; it spoke both to Naples and Austria in the proper tone ; it told Louis Napoleon that we are the self-same people who refused to be his uncle's dupes or victims. If it be said that all this is properly the praise of Government, we answer that it is only with the earnest and cordial support of Parliament that the best Government can sustain English principles and English honour in our foreign transactions. All that was practicable to official ability, enlight ened by vast experience, and warmed with the zeal of a character all fire in defence of freedom and humanity, was done by the noble lord at the head of our foreign department, but it was not the less important.that he should have a senate at his back impressed with the same principles and devoted to the same cause. With a House of Commons less deeply moved by what was passing on the continent, even the speeches and despatches of Lord John Russell, though monuments of wisdom, eloquence, and industry, would have accomplished little. Perhaps the House of Commons has not often, in any session, taken so active a part in the affairs of Europe ; this duty at least it performed efficiently, and let it be honoured for it. The appeal from the adjudication of bankruptcy against the Mitre Life Assurance and Anuuity Society has been dismissed by the Lord Cl ancellor. The company consequently appear in the ✓Gazette. It is reported that the Duke cl'e Gramont has announced to the Pope the Emperor Napoleon's determi nation to defend Civita Vecchia and Roane. This report is in some degree confirmed by an order given to the colonels of the 57th and 62d Regiments of Infantry to prepare t) proceed to Rome. The 102 d of the Line has already set out. A relief of the present garrison is alleged, but an in crease of its strength is believed in. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat ; nevertheless the demand for both red and white qualities ruled very inactive, at barely the late advance in quotations. All spring corn, as well as flour, met a slow inquiry. The continental markets have been firm for wheat, and a good business has been passing in all spring corn, at very full prices. In the United States, produce generally is still coming freely to hand, and continues to sell at very moderate rates. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad, the imports amounted to 33,510 quarters of wheat, 5,889 of barley, 51,110 oats, 3,456 beans ; 1,110 peas, 120 tares, 3,300 lin seed, 4,748 rape-seed, 515 sundry seeds. 3,436 sacks and 32,390 barrels of flour. A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale here to-day, coastwise and by land carriage ; nevertheless, owing to the favourable change in the steady progress of harvest work, the demand was in a depressed state. Millers showed no disposition to operate, and so little business was passing that the quotations were almost nominal. The fall, however, in them was a nominal one, compared with Monday last, of fully 38. per quarter. About 1,000 quarters of new wheat, in fair condition, were on offer, and the best samples were held at 70s. per quarter; inferior kinds sold at 48s. There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on the stands. Even the finest samples were quite neglected, and the currencies may be considered 2s to 3s per quarter lower than this day se'nnigbt. Floating cargoes of grain were ♦ery dull, though offer ing on tk sier terms. A few parcels of new barley, in middling condition, were on offer. The best samples were held at 465, but only 448 was bid for them. Foreign parcels supported last week's currency. Most descriptions of malt were in short supply, and steady request, at very full prices. There was less activity in the demand for oats, and, in some instances, prices were a shade lower. New winter oats, in rood condition, were shown. Beans and peas—the supply of which was limited—ruled heavy, at about previous rates. The flour trade was very dull, and prices generally had a drooping tendency. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The trade was heavy at 2d to 4d per Slbs beneath last Monday's currency. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were very large, and of greatly improved quality. All breeds met a very dull sale, at a fall in value from 2d to 4d per 81bs, the general top figure for beef being 4a 10d per 81bs, and a clearance was not effected. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 3,000 short horns ; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scot land, 2 Scots ; and from Ireland, 504 oxen and heifers. With sheep we were somewhat heavily supplied, and the demand for them was very inactive at a fall in value of from 2d to 4d per Blbs. The quality of short breeds exhi bited a decided improvement. The best old Downs sold at 5s 4d per 81bs. There was a dull sale for lambs, at 4d per Blbs less money. About 500 reached us from Ireland.

The result of the races last week has not thrown much light on the great event to be decided next week at Don caster. Thormanby still maintains the premiership in the betting, and opinions are greatly divided between the Whitcwell representatives, The Wizard and Sweetsauce; but John Scott has got such a fine string of horses in this year's Leger that it is difficult to guess which will be the Simon Pure on the day. However, if he has got a better horse than Sweetsauce in his team, he will have no difficulty in adding another Leger to his lucky stable. If an outsider should show his respects first to the judge, it will be either the much neglected Buccaneer, or Tom Bowline. The meetings to be held this week are Warwick, Derby, Kelso, Rochester and Chatham, Totnes and Bridgetown, Weymouth, and Littlehampton, to only the former of which does much importance attach. Mr. Merry has, considering the many calls recently made upon horseflesh, and that the meeting takes place on the eve of the St. Leger, produced a wonderful bill of fare, having secured for the nine races already closed unprecedently large entries, the only failur • being the Leamington Stakes, for which 14 only out of the 63 horses handicapped remained in. The meeting commences on Tuesday with seven items in the list, three of which have yet to be named for, the Trial Stakes, Her Majesty's Plate, and the Racing Stakes, all of which close this afternoon. The first of the closed events to claim attention is the Leamington Stakes, to which Moura • vieff has been accorded the post of honour so unenviable in a handicap. Wild Rose, Royal Sovereign, and the Greek are let loose, and I shall expect one of them to fur nish the winner. In the Castle Park Stakes (three qua rters of a mil e ) th ere are 12 two-year-olds engaged, including The Conqueror, Flirtation, and Voltella, who are each penalised 41b. Ac cording to the recent running of East Stanley, whom the latter beat along with several others in a canter at Good wood in the Ham, Voltella must prove a dangerous antago nist to the former pair. For the Shorts Handicap 27 horses are weighted, includ ing nine two year olds, the imposts on which are not very favourable to their success. Those for which I have most fancy are Romsey and Marquise. The twenty-four nominations to the Cup include repre sentatives of every age, but the three-year -old s of course preponderate, and were we assured of the most noted of the latter—Sweetsauce, Wallace, Crater, Horror, Avalanche, Ben Webster, First Lord, and Convivialist—reaching the starting post, the race would certainly be one of surpassing interest. However, as it is likely that only Wallace, Crater, and Avalanche of the above will throw down the gauntlet to Tournament, Starke, and Mouravieff, we must be con tent with the contest betmuten them, and in which, doubtless, some of the smaller fry will join, of which Barabbas and the filly by Surplice out of New Forest Deer will have no inconsiderable advantage in the weights ; nevertheless there is little probability of either performing sufficiently well to affect the result, which, in the absence of Sweetsauce, I expect will be carried off by Mouravieff or Wallace. Of the 34 horses weighted for the County Cup, the fol lowing half dozen—Orlanda, 4 yrs, 7st 10lb ; Romsey, 4 yrs, Est 121 b ; Tyrant, 3 yrs, Est 51b ; Emblem, 4 yrs, bat 121 b ; Vouralak, 3 yrs, sst 101 b ; and the filly by Annan dale out of Margery, 3 yrs, sst 91b—have not much to com plain of in the weights apportioned to them, and I prefer the chances of Romsey and Tyrant. Next week I shall enter into an analysis of the horses engaged in the Leger. Sept. 3. A FRESH MAN. BETTING AT MANCHESTER, SATURDAY.

THE STEPNEY MURDER.—The detectives em plcyed to unravel, if possible, this mysterious murder, have apparently come to a dead lock, and up to a late hour on Saturday night they had nut obtained any clus", to the mur derer, but they have not given up all hope of bringing him to justice. The police still remain in possession of the house, 9, Grove-road, and unless some blood relations of the murdered woman come forward and prove their claim, it is expected that the property will be administered to and claimed on behalf of the Crown. On Saturday evening some information was received at one of the station-houses of the K division, and a couple of detectives were despatched, via the Tilbury Railway, to a town a dew miles from London; and in an hour afterwards a telegraph was received, " Not to be found," so the hopes of the police were again. disappointed. home consumption.
