TILE WAR IN ITALY. A letter dated Naples, Oct. 5, says :—" Half a mile from St. Angelo, on the road to Capua, which is flanked on both sides by a thick wood, and again on the right by the Volturno, a battery of two guns (12 -pounders) had been constructed on the night of Sept. 30, by the 3d battalion of the brigade belong ing to,Brigadier Dunn, who had arrived with his column from Messina two days previously. This was, therefore, the extreme outpost of Garibaldi's army. The guns which had been brought up the mountain in rear of St. Angelo opened fire on the Neapolitans, who replied vigorously with shot and shell, and the Z ouaves of Dunn's brigade, under Major Wyndham, were then extended along the banks of the river to annoy the enemy's artillerymen, and again reinforced by another battalion from the same brigade. From the right and left of the bat tery, on the road to Capua, the battalions protected the front, and thus only left one in reserve at the battery. At half-past four o'clock the Neapolitans marched out and attacked the whole of the line, concentrating most of their strength on St. Angelo, and attacking the outposts in force. For five hours Dunn and his brigade resisted their continued efforts, sending in vain for support which was not at hand, retiring from tree,.to tree, and again charg ing forward with the bayonet, now and..,, then the guns from the battery plo ughing through the enemy as they endeavoured VA concentrate. About 11 o'clock the battle was most sanguinary, continued fresh troops from Capua poured down shot, shell, and grape, and heavy platoon firing had covered the ground with dead and wounded. Dunn's aide de-camp was killed, three majors wounded, and then the major of the Ist battalion fell dead. The colo nel of artillery was shot through the head, the enemy haying filled. the. wood with their Swiss rifles, picking off the officers on all sides: Dunn was then forming up his goo en to retire into the bat tery, when a shot struck him in the side and he fell. The enemy now attacked on all sides, and rus hed into the battery, shot and killed all there, an d burnt the wounded. The chaplain, administer ing the last sacrament to a dying man, had his eyes cut out and was then stabbed. Dunn had been luckily carried away by his men to the rear. At this moment Garibaldi arrived with fresh troops, and the battery •was again retaken. It was a complete victory all along the line, and the enemy retired with great loss. Dunn's little brigade alone lost 900 killed and wounded, with 32 officers. I send you this as I was at St. Angelo, and you will doubtless have other particulars of the other part of the fight. Another letter written from the outposts of the Italian army, dated San Angelo di Capua, Oct. 13, sa y s :—The concentration of Garibaldi's troops' around Capua has assumed within the past week a more decided aspect. The division commanded by General Bixio, which up to the affair of the Ist had been quartered at Caserta and Maddaloai, has marched up to Santa Maria, partly to replace Gen. Eber's brigade, which had been ordered to sur round Ponticello, and partly to strengthen our posi tion at Santa Maria. Gen. Medici has taken up quarters in a farmhouse near to the village of San Angelo, where Col.:Spamgaro has been in command of the extreme outpost in an eastward direction during the past month. Two batteries, composed of two 32-pounders each, are placed on the crest of the mountain separating San Angelo from the Royalists. On the right bank of the Volturno the latter have a battery well mounted with about 10 guns, while on a hillock about a quarter of a mile distant from the river a farmhouse has been turned into a re- doubt, mounted with six guns well manned, Both these batteries command San Angelo, anii were it not for the rising ground which intervenes they no doubt would effect consWerable damage among the vast number of men bivouacking around the base of the hill. The Bavarians, however, have proved themselves good marksmen, all their firing in the battles of the 19th September and of the Ist inst. having been made with great accuracy. From the batteries I have just mentioned as being situated on the right bank of the Volturno, about two miles eastward of Capua, they have already obtained a pretty accurate range of the village beneath, and while I write shot and shell are whizzing around with a precision that does honour to their artillery. Every day from sunrise within the past week we have had a constant salute, and I am happy to say with a loss comparatively small on our side. On the morning of the Bth, about daybreak, we were sud denly awoke by a crash through the wall of the house where we were sleeping. Col. Bourdon, who is in command of a battery, jumped up and was for tunate enough to escape unscathed. The shell burst, however, after it had penetrated through the wall and killed a French officer, who was still aselep, and wounded severely two others. On our side the injury did not long remain unrequited, the sentinels on our advanced posts opening fire on the enemy's lines in the direction of Ponticello. The royalists, who had made trenches during the preceding night, whither they had carried down four pieces of cannon, re plied briskly, when General Milwitz sent down two battalions, under the command of Major Folliero, who gallantly attacked the enemy, and after about an hour's resistance dispersed them, capturing their four pieces of artillery, and making a good number of prisoners. The organisation of the army is still very defec tive, and notwithstanding the unflagging exertions of the Dictator it is daily becoming more and more apparent that the Piedmontese troops must step in and give a helping hand with the siege of Capua. Disease and fever have already produced a disas trous effect upon many brave fellows, who after the campaign in Sicily and that long and tiresome march through Calabria might have expected shel ter from the inclemency of the season. Few of those who are compelled to bivouac in that vast plain which separates Santa Maria from Capita are provided with tents, and now that winter has already set in with an unusual severity the number of patients in the hospitals must, it is to be feared, greatly increase. What a contrast they present with the hale, ruddy faces of a regiment of Pied montese Bersaglieri, who have come down to en camp at Caserta. The Sardinians are well provided with canvass, have an excellent commissariat, and, above all, are an admirably disciplined and fresh body of troops, more capable of enduring the rigidity of the season than the heroes of the Sici lian campaign. 5,000 Sardinians, Orders have been given for about who have arrived in Naples f within th e pa s t and while I Write days, to join us in the front, its contingent. oach successive train brings up continues The Dictator out posts,-- accompanied by to visit daily our enere.l Medici and General Cosenz, who, i n t h e ab has been appoi n t e d ow : l e e n" of General Turr, who or er-General of Naples, is probably on the point resumingyou a re the command of a division. Cosenz, a s of War, but within the aware, is Minister without him past we ek Garibaldi ; and ha as s will seldom been down our lines • nameo Generaldoubt inform your Naples correspondent you, the Dictator is anxious to whose health continues to be inadequate Turr, to out post work, to that ministry. A rumour prevails t h ro ughout the camp that Victor r--va "'" Emmanuel had, after stopping a few hours at Grottamare, advanced in the direction of the frontiers, and that after his entry into Naples on the 23d he will assume the command of the entire army before Capua, in person. I believe also there is no great probability of any regular attack on our part immediately, the Dic tator being still unwilling or unable, from a want of proper artillery, to cope with the well-mounted bastions of the enemy. Oar two best, and I might say only batteries, are those of San Angelo, one of which is commanded by a brave countryman of yours, Colonel Dowling, and in truth these batte ries serve to cut off a retreat from Capua or Chiazzo rather than to dislodge the enemy. To demolish Vauban's fortifications in the Castel Nuovo will require not merely the dash and intrepidity of Gtxribaldi's followers, but the military genius of a well pa i ned corps of engineers. This fact the xtoy taut* ar e that they I.e well aware of, and though it is said offers of ettpi:lraletely disheartened, and that ti no doubt i 5 on are being made to the Die tator,fmtertain d b y the various mill- tary officers here that a long and sanguinary struggle must ensue before we march into Capua. The English battalion, of which we have heard so much of late, and many of whose officers have long since arrived, is still expected at Naples. Mr. William Hale, whose name is well known in England in connexion with the manufacture of rockets, arrived here a few days age, and after having exhibited to General Garibaldi a few speci mens which he had brought out with him, received an order for 5,000. Mr. Hale undertakes to com mand the battery in person, and returns to England to-day to bring out his materials immediately. Numbers of English travellers and amateurs visit daily our advanced posts, and clamber up to the top of the mountain which separates San Angelo from Chiazzo. Garibaldi's officers treat your countrymen with great urbanity, and seldom refuse . them a pass to the front. The Neapolitans, too, salute them, and even :their rifle balls and shell seem friendly—falling innocuously around. The Dictator has issued a decree for a special medal to be distributed to Brigadier-General Dunn's brigade, for its distinguished services in the engage ment of the Ist. General Dunn has sine his land ing i n Sicily merited the thanks of the Italians an d the friendship of Garibaldi, by whom he is esteemed as one of his most valuable officers. The 1 total loss of his brigade on the Ist inst. consisted of 807 men killed and wounded, of whom 32 were officers. Dunn himself received a ball in the thigh, but is progressing favourably enough to be able to resume his post within a few days. Col. Wyndham has in his absence assumed the command of the brigade. I regret to have to state that a person calling himself an Englishman, and who has been con nected with certain subscriptions sent from Scot land, has been arrested here by Garibaldi's orders on a charge of embezzleinent. (From the special Correspondent of the Times.) SANTA MARIA, OCT. 8. I have no stirring military events for you ; every thing has been as quiet as possible under the circum stances—that is, with two armies one in front of the other at musket shot range. We have batteries at St. Angelo, and they have batteries on the oppo site side of the river. They have their outposts along the river, and so have we. Thus occasional musket and cannon shot are difficult to avoid, espe cially as there is a decided tendency on both sides to waste ammunition. Four days ago Garibaldi had decided to make a movement across the river with our right flank, and, indeed, all was prepared for such a move, which was to be made by the forces of General Bixio, but the equinoctial gale the next morning put an end to it, and it has not been renewed since. The day before yesterday a Neapolitan colonel, and soon after him two majors and a captain, made their appearance at the outposts. They had been dismissed from the service, according to their own account, because they had behaved humanely to wards our prisoners and wounded, but probably in reality because they had not quite behaved in the fight of the Ist as they ought to have done. Ac cording to their account the confusion and demo ralization on the other side are very great. and much dissatisfaction reigns both among officers and men. Of the former they said 36 had given in their resignation in one day, while the latter had shaken off all bonds of discipline. All seem to be kept in the darkest ignorance about what is pass ing around them, and the greatest part of the army is still labouring under the impression that Lamo riciere is coming with his Austrian mercenaries to take the command of the united armies, while the Austrians are to disembark and co-operate from Naples. They would scarcely believe it when they were told that all was over with T,amoriciere, and that the Pialmontese troops had crossed the fron tier in the north. The officers were sent up to Naples under an escort, as had been done with those who came before. For several days negotiations have been going on with General Salzano, our friend from Palermo, for the exchange of prisoners. It was, above all, Major Catabene who was taken at Cajazzo, who was the object of these negociations.. Our first par lementaire was not received, instructions being wanting in this respect; but next day another was sent, and the Neapolitans expressed their readiness to exchange him; they at the same time asked that the water conduit which had been cut at St. Angelo, and which is the only one supplying Capua with good water, should be restored. .As they hava the river all around Capua, which canmot be turned off, they can never be without -water, so it was only aggravating the position of the sick and wounded to withhold the better water, and orders were given to the engineer of the waterworks at Santa Maria to see the thing repaired. Yesterday the exchange of Major Catabene took place against one of the lieutenant-colonels taken the other day at Caserta. His name is Nicoleni. Catabene, who is wounded in the arm and on the leg, but is going on well, cameia a carriage, accom panied by two Neapolitan officers, to our outposts at Santa Maria. While the letter of Gen. Salzano was brought in, and the other necessary formalities gone through, our officers at the - outposts gave to the escort of Catabene the latest n ews to take back to Capua, where it will not fail to produce the de sired impression. Indeed, from w hat Major Cata bene says, there is a light dawning upon the Nea politan army, owing above all to tl ie Ist of October. When the troops were beateri, baelt they returned, clamouring that they had been d e< 'eived, and there was a considerable irritation again st Gen. Salzano, who had remained in the forge ess all day long without showing before his soldkr, s. According to the Major's account the wounded officers are treated well, but the t reatment of the men leaves much to be desired. '1 'his is probably owing to the great number of their wounded whom the Neapolitans have, amounting to more than 1,000. It was likewise through Major C 'atabene that we had the first news of Count Arrial abene, the corre spondent of several English and French papers, about whose fate his friends were in great anxiety, He had been last seen going out.l . rom St. Angelo; according to others, from Santa 34 aria, and had no more been heard of. As he was in plain clothes, he would have been found among 'those left on the battle-field. The supposition them efore was that he had been taken prisoner —a sup] )13sition which has turned out true. He is slightly w ounded in the leg. The thing has been reported to I 3raribaldi, who, no doubt, will make the necessary el ispositions to have him exchanged against some one of the many officers we have. In spite of the general discou ragenaer,t which all those who come from the other side admit, there is still a rumour of another attack *II ich the Neapoli tans are said to meditate ag ainst o ar 'line. A t first it was to have been to-day , new it is a a gain predicted for to-morrow. In the meantime t . he se rumours do not disturb Garibaldi in his plans. f n. crossing the river in force. The batteries at St. Ai igelo are being placed, and the means for pass;.ng are ready and may be adopted any night he choosc to think fit. But really every drop of blood w: hich may gm henceforth in this struggle is almot4 t a crime, for it is a hopeless cause that of the New p olitans. A few days more and the Piedmontese ari cciy will be here. There is official news of the avat tie garde having crossed the frontier; but even befc are this arrives a Piedmontese division is expected by sea from An cona, and the general impression is that King Vic tor Emmanuel will be with it. on know that b an order of th e d a y o f th e 4th h e i has placed tim self at the h ea d o f hi s army . Ti no deputations of the northern p rov i nces h ave gone: tc ► meet him at Ancona, inviting him to come. Amoh her deputation, composed of rep resen t a ti ves o f Na/ des an of the more southern p rov i nces, has likewise s t ar t e d . They asked for Garibaldi's consent, which was given readily. At N a pl es th e preparations for the K ' reception are made fo r Th ursday, while the p• montese division, which i s to b e brough ing P fleet, under the command of Persano the day before. W This morning Garibaldi rev 0;- ewed at Di v i s ion Bixio, which, as v Caserta the t and the drovepositiobnascokf the l tali on th e Ist of October ad r dal- u ill remembe r ke p brought over ag' ..olumns which the enemy had genera l succv 4 4inst that Po i nt. In epite of the ,es of the a c ti on, there wee 'e several , cases tb , " *•'-` as on some other poin" of t 0 the battle- _led- by the 1s to arrive field, of officers not doing their duty. Several of these were called out, and Garibaldi, in the pre sence of the troops, had their swords taken away, their distinctive marks stripped off, and had them ignominiously expelled from the corps, declaring them to be unworthy of being Italians, and telling them that their only mode of redeeming their past behaviour was to enter as privates and do their duty. Every one hopes that this measure of rigour will be extended to the whole army, which, among ex cellent officers who would be an honour to any army, contains likewise black sheep. No wonder ; in the hurry in which the army was got together; it was impossible to sift the claims de those who presented themselves ; besides, there were so many intrusted to organise battalions and brigades that the responsibility must remain with those who proposed men unfit for their posts. The army being continually in movement, there was no possibility to sift it; but, now that the time is not distant when it is to be amalgamated with the Piedmon tese forces, the thing becomes absolutely necessary, and the battle of the Ist offered a good opportunity. EVENING. Garibaldi, after having passed in review General Bixio's troops, came on to Santa Maria, and thence to his usual post at St. Angelo. lie arrived there about noon, and at 2 p.m. the Neapolitans made a reconnaissance with a few battalions towards the road of St. Angelo, and to the left of it towards the river where our outposts stand. The object was evidently to see and not to act, for they withdrew as soon as ours advanced. Towards half-past three they came on again, helping on their advance by the fire of the fortress, which can throw its shells at a tolerable distance in that direction. A column of ours was sent down to support our outposts, while at the same time another advanced from Santa Maria to take them in the flank. The fire was kept up till nightfall, and the Neapolitans withdrew. The Neapolitans are perfectly aware that prepa rations are going on at St. Angelo to force the pas sage of the river, that powerful batteries aro being thrown up, and that as soon as they are ready there will be an advance. It is natural that this should cause uneasiness—nay, it may drive them even to make an attempt to destroy these works. Among our troops the impression that we shall hear of something to-morrow is very strong. OCTOBER 9, MORNING. The night passed very quietly ; indeed, more so than our nights usually do, and there is no sign of any hostile intention on either side. SANTA MARIA, OCT. 11. On the Bth an armistice was concluded for the next day. The object of it was the burial of the dead who fell within the range of the guns of the fortress, and could not be buried on account of the fire of the artillery of Capua, which sweeps the river banks and the edge of the wood. When those who fell towards St. Angelo and Santa Maria were buried, an attempt was made to bury those now in front, but as soon as a burying party showed the guns opened, and it was impossible to retain the country folks who were intrusted with this work. The consequence was a frightful atmosphere towards the outposts before St. Angelo. During the late negotiations about the exchange of prisoners the Neapolitans asked for the restoration of the water• works which provide Capua with potable water. In return a truce of 24 hours was agreed upon, during which time the fortress was to be silent. But the armistice extended merely to the fortress, General Salzano declaring that he had no power over the commander of the troops outside. The result was a constant cannonade between our batteries at St. Angelo and those of the enemy on the opposite shore of the river. On the very morning of the armistice Col. Bore done, who is directing the works against.the oppo site shore, had a narrow escape. He had returned late from the works to a little house not far distant from them, where he had taken up his quarters with two of his officers. Towards half•past 4 a.m. two shells were sent, one close after the other, right into the house, smashing everything about the place, and rolling under the bed where the two offi cers were reposing, burst there, throwing them up in the air, and wounding one on the head and the other on the leg. but without hurting Col. Bordone, who was only covered with dust and fragments of grass and rubbish. I mention this because it is ex traordinary ; otherwise the fire of the batteries from the other side has done very little harm. Since the armistice ended, yesterday at noon, things have been more quiet than while it lasted. The fortress is quite silent, and sends only at long intervals a shot or two against our batteries. Otherwise, the Neapolitans keep on the strictest defensive. They have only a few small posts outside Capua, and even these are withdrawn at night into the immediate neighbourhood of the fortress. And, indeed, from what we hear, this plan seems to put Capua into a complete state of defence, so as to be able to hold out for some time, even if the army in the field had to fall back toward Gaeta. All the in habitants have been ordered to provide themselves with provisions for two months, and those who are unable to do so have got orders to leave the town. People of this place who have communications with Capua state that the fortress, as well as the Neapolitan army, expects but the arrival of the Piedmontese to surrender. This en dit, is by no means improbable. The officers want to secure their position, and were they sure that Garibaldi's re 5h was to last, they would probably have already aban doned the falling cause they are defen , l'in g -- now. The Piedmontese army represents s.a established successor of Garibaldi's government and the natural succe , interregnum. Since the beay of the Ist there are but few in the Neapolitan army who indulge in any illusions about a possible success, nor can it be other wise; many of the officers are supposed to be luke warm, and the defeat of the Ist is attributed to this circamstance. An order of the day of Francis 11. is reported, which attributes this ill success to the treachery of the officers, and enjoins the soldiers to watch cm er their conduct. If true, the King of Gaeta, and Capua does more to loosen the discipline of his army than his adversaries could do. These are the news which come to us from Capua. At Gaeta, on the contrary, every one seems in high spirits. A gentleman, who spoke yesterday with one of the members of the Spanish Legation, returned the day before from Gaeta, says that the latter seemed vhtahelereresnaPemdei seemed d n e m t laa a ont t, Naples. nodtekedsneo_awt t clothing Naples, att pht The l i:hesa,ficaarubsnrtodi about brigade ihstghaattedhmeianoongf: movements hmh was eeerm th at he ttwhs had ds t quite confident of the speedy return of the old Go vernment l e a x n p d e e d e t e a d t , G t i h u a l t i a t he Nuova,ara n a t n e - d g a t h e d a e t o a f n o o th ne er co w rp as s expected to land at Manfredonia, and make its way towards Benevento.

With his well known unselfishness, of ' ...n late events have given so great a proof, he foregoes all the glory which might be earned by finishing before the Piedmontese come up, in order* to gain with their co-operation so much greater advantage for Italy. OCTOBER 13. A complete standstill in the operations. Garibaldi one to Naples for some days to superintend politics. It is stated that a special meeting of the Regent's „ Can al of applying is about to be called to consider the expedi ency aPPlying to Parliament in the ensuing session for d m7resn.to make a ra il way a l ong t h e li ne o f th'e canal from lane to Limehouse, to be worked in conjunction with the canal, ITALIAN UNITY. (From the Ttine,s.) The dead set which the French clergy are making on the Emperor, joined to the strong pressure of Austria and Russia, through their Ministers at Paris, might perhaps make a less resolute man and less deep calculator waver in the present cause of Italian unity. We cannot imagine that much can come even of such combined pressure in the present case. As for the foaming torrent of invective which is being discharged from the mouth of the French Episcopate, ho can hardly think it worth more attention than the flattery from the same mouth a little time ago. These fawning adulators, who have but just risen from licking the dust before him, have well earned an extremity of con tempt. These caitiffs, who made themselves the scorn of Europe, should for mere shame slink back into their holes when their idol disappoints them and refuses to be their puppet. Are these men in a position to give advice ? They committed them selves, body and soul, to the " elected of the 6th of December" upon his first start; they worshipped him as a God ; he was to think for tnem, will for them, act for them. Well, that is just what he is now doing. What have they to complain of ? Do they think they have mistaken their man ? If they have, it is too late to correct the mistake now ; and if they do not know this there is somebody else who does. But, what is their advice when they give it ? Is there anything in it that could move for a moment a man of sense ? It is made up of the stalest assumptions, the refuse and dregs of the old religious-political argument, worn out cries and cut and dried platitudes, of which the history of three centuries has proved the absolute falsehood. r " It is true," says the Bishop of Poictiers, " the Pope has more than St. Peter ever had, but it is required for the spiritual chief of the whole world, the guide of 200,000,000 of consciences." But is not the direction of 200,000,000 of consciences quite work enough for any man, without the addition of a whole temporal kingdom to look after ? The Bishop of Poictiers does not see this. It does not occur to him to ask himself the question, " Why does the guide of 200,000,000 of consciences want this temporal appendage ?" He assumes it ; he asserts it—it does not need a reason; it is too self evident to him for that; it is an axiom, a fact, a truism, a law of nature; it is written in the sky that the Pope must be a king. He can no more argue about it than any necessary assumption in matters of reason or practice. Why do we want to breathe; why do we want to eat, or drink, or sleep ? Why do we assume our own existence or anything else? Because we find we must do so, and in the same way the Bishop of Poictiers assumes the necessity of a King-Pope. There must be a King-Pope—nothing can go on without a King-Pope—religion will drop without a King- Pope. But this is not reason, it is impression, it is mere habit, it is one of those irrational, artificial instincts, which grow out of the simple continu ance of a particular state of things ; one of those manufactured first principles which are of the of the essence of delusion ; the fiction of brains are too weak to untie any present combina tions, and separate principle from any existing state of fact. The reason of Europe has been long undermining the status quo of the Papacy, and if it can appeal to nothing in its defence but a mere shadow of itself, or the assumed necessity of its own existence, which is the mere reflection of the past in the minds of its followers, and only shows the force of custom in the world of ideas, the shadow of reason must yield to the substance. There is no one who sees more clearly than the French Em peror the growing evidence, on which Cavour rests so much, to the fact that the influence of religion is not connected with this or that secular shape of thing, and that it is a mere sham and imposture upon such a ground to sound the alarmist cry that reli g ion is in danger. The Russian and Austrian screw may possibly work a little deeper than the clerical one, but the arguments of these Courts will not gain much, at any rate, from the general position and intrinsic credit of the advisers. Their fundamental relations to the new French dynasty are not such as to im part a very genuine character to any suggestions they may offer for the benefit of French policy. Napoleon 111. has, from the very nature and basis of his throne, one absorbing and engrossing inte rest, i t iad that is the success of his own dynasty. His first thought on his ascent was a spouse of the Royal blood of Europe, for Royal alliances are the natural prop of a European throne. But he could not get one, because certain Courts were resolved to look on him as an adventurer. Two Courts, how ever, have given him the treatment of a Royal King, and given him solid help and support as the founder of a dynasty ; and those are the English and Sar dinian; the one gave him a Royal reception which would have suited the descendant of a hundred Kings; the other gave his family a Royal Princess. And we may add—without going into the casuistry of the original commencement of the Italian under taking—that, now that the cause of Italian unity is fairly afloat, Napoleon's liberal Italian policy has cemented and confirmed English approbation of all the acts of the French Emperor connected with this movement ; but it is not too much to say that the patronage of the cause of Italian unity has given French despotism a much more favourable light to stand in before the English public than it would otherwise have had; and this applies, we need not say, in a much stronger degree to Sardinia. It is certainly a question, then, whether Napoleon could possibly gain much by receding at this time of day, when the stream oe events has been allowed to flow so far, from the cause of Sardinia and Italian unity at the suggestion of two Courts who naturally support dynastic interests wholly opposite to his own, It may very likely be the case that the cause of Italian unity has outstripped his original de sign, gone faster than he wanted, and taken a shape which he had never intended for it. His ideawas that of a confederacy which would have raised no new Power in Europe, have given ample opportunity for French interference, and possibly issued only in an exchange of French influence for Austrian in Italy. That idea has been obliged to vanish before facts, rola the form which Italian unity i is now as suming is that of one compact kingdom n powerful aa. - aiirustrative hands. This is a different thing al- I together, and the dream of a French possessi on of Italy is over. Still Sardinia is his ally, his rela tion ; he wants royal connexions; it is his interest to support them and make the most of them when he has got them. A great Italian monarchy in al liance and affinity with the Napoleonic dynasty would be a gain in this light, even if it left less room for the control of France as an empire over Italian politics. The French Emperor is too sag. - cious to be angry with a movement because it has not quite answered his expectations ; he knows the uncertainty of human events as well as any one, and the wisdom of meeting them half-way, and ex tracting all the advantage which can be extracted from thcm,.if more cannot be. With all drawbacks his interest even now lies in the cause of Italian unity ; it will give him, at any rate, one great European Royal alliance ; whereas to recede from it, now that it has made such way, would be to lose one alliance and possibly not get another in its place, to embitter Sardinia, to disgust England, and to abandon that whole ground which strengthened his throne in the feelings of the liberal nations of Europe, (From the Daily News.) It was the startling reflection of an ancient ver ger in one of our cathedrals to an occasional wor shipper, who had remarked a sort of suspended animation in the performance of the service, and a sleepiness in the preaching of a minor Canon, " Sir, I have teen five and twenty years verger of this church, and, thank Heaven ! I am not an atheist yet." We cannot help fancying that some such sensation of pleased surprise must have flitted of late across the brain, if not the heart, of many an honest and enlightened believer in the superhuman prerogatives and pretensions of the Holy Father, whose advisers and apostles hive been running a muck of commination at almost all the Powers in heaven and earth, from Providence in default to Victor Emmanuel in possession. Let us only conceive a sincere disciple of the Roman Church, who should be neither an Irish repealer, nor an English convert, nor a French royalist, nor a Roman nobleman, nor a Spanish crusader. Let us suppose this simple-minded creature to have lived so far out of the way of realities as to imagine that the Vicar of Christ is a paragon of meekness, paik.nce, and unworldliness, and his authority purely zioral mid unsecular.

We remark, for example, the small account that the friends of his Holiness appear to make of merely spiritual a uthority when provinces and revenues are slipping away. 'We observe with pleasure that the entire collection of Peter's pence from all the Faithful, up to the latest dates, attains the enormous total of two hundred and fifty thou sand pounds. We note with interest the truly Catholic subscription for a triumphal sword to the Commander-in-chief of the Papal army, who has just returned to Rome to.take leave of the Pope. A scabbard without the sword would perhaps be a more appropriate testimonial for the moment; but there is something felicitously Irish in the sword. For it is to the Irish crusaders that the neatest com pliments were paid by the Algerian general in his despatches. He can hardly find enough marching and drill for these unquiet Celts, and wherever they are sent it is noticeable that these champions of law and order are always " under escort." It turns out that all these mercenaries of the Faith were but counters in a grand game which was to have been played by Lamorieiere on behalf of Francis the Second, the Duke of Modena, and the Emperor of Austria, against the French Emperor and his Sardinian ally. The result of this grand ecclesiastical and legiti mist conspiracy is agreeably calculated to open the French Emperor's eyes, and to enable him to make election between his early friends and his implaca ble enemies. If history contained no warning ap posite enough, passing events might teach him that ecclesiastical enmity is not to be bought off by flatteries or favours, short of unconditional submis sion and entire complicity. French troops may repossess and guard the patrimony of St. Peter, but Papal and priestly gratitude will cail French troops gaolers rather than protectors. There is one su preme humiliation, however, for which his Holiness is grateful ; the offered aid of the Spanish Queen. The religious zeal of Isabelia's soldiers is beyond suspicion. But it is not a calumny to suppose that the Holy Father is in need of any intervention, so far at least as the patrimony of St. Peter is con cerned ? The Journal of BOnle assures us that the populations of the towns and villages, restored to the dominion of the Church by the French on the voluntary retirement of the Piedmontese, welcome back the Papal authorities " with en thusiasm." One is disposed to regret that this timely enthusiasm should have been compelled to display itself under the doubtful auspices of French bayonets. At Viterbo the en thusiasm of the population displayed itself in a singular manner. As soon as the return of the Pontifical gendarmes was announced the population sent to the French General to say that it would burn the town rather than receive them. It was only on the intimation that French soldiers would at all events precede the Pontifical authorities that the inhabitants consented to leave their town stand ing ; for as to themselves, they migrated across the frontier with all convenient speed. It is thus that, under cover of a new French army of occupation, the Papal Government is in a condition to treat with contempt the counsels of the French Emperor, and its agents everywhere to conspire against him. Napoleon 111. may affect to despise this impotent malignity, but the time must, sooner or later, ar rive when he can no longer decently or safely main tain an army of occupation at Rome in the centre of a freed and flourishing Italy. It is equally cer tain that no other foreign troops will take the place of the French. There remains one of two conse quences ; either the Pope as a temporal ruler will go, or as a Bishop only, and Supreme Head of the Catholic Church, he will remain. Were we Catholics, and anxious that the crying scandal of the Church should cease, we should humbly beg the successor of St. Peter to put up. the sword in the sheath, since he cannot cut off the ear of Europe. PUBLIC .HONOURS TO COLOURED PEOPLE. (From the .New York Independent.) The coloured people are now in high honour in New York. The prejudice against a dark complexion seems to be vanishing away. The city authorities, ar.d the citizens themselves, have just been lavish ing profuse attentions upon a few dozen new corners with dusky skins. The newspapers, for several days past, have been pre-announcing their movements; the largest of the hotels has been engaged expressly for their accommodation ; the fleetest of North River steamboats was chartered to steam them up the bay to the Battery ; the flags of the shipping were hoisted in honour of their arrival; the store-windows of the finest marble fronts on Broadway were crowded with badges and banners, printed in large letters, bidding them welcome ; the military were drawn up in procession, 7,000 strong, to add to the scene the honours of the national stripes and stars ; the streets were crowded with half the inhabitants of the city, to swell with the popular voice the generql chorus of the day ; and all this bustle and excitement, all this gathering of a great multitude in holiday attire, all this beating of drums, and playing of fifes, and waving of pocket handkerchiefs, performed simply and solely in honour of a few carriage leads of coloured people, newly arrived front their warm country across the sea, their faces tinged with a very unpopular blackish brown ! The coloured people sat in their carriages, and politely bowed to the whites who gathered around them on every side. They gave evident tokens by repeated smiles, and by graceful gestures of the hand, that they were immensely pleased with their honourable reception. After this, who will ever again accuso the coloured people of ingratitude ? They appeared to be in very good condition, with out fault or flaw; or, as they say in Richmond, " warranted sound and healthy—right and title good." We should think—though not claiming to be the best judge of such articles—that Simmi Boojsen-no-Kami, first ambassador, being now a little old and careworn, and probably having seen his best days, might not bring into the market more than 800 dols. Mooragaki Awajsi-no-Kami, who is slightly injured in personal appearance by heavy lips and protruding front teeth, might be knocked down at the same price. Moorata Okatoroh, who, it is said, has learned to read Eng lish, might on that account be considered a little dangerous to our peculiar institutions, and would I hardly be a desirable article of purchase. But I "Tommy," who is a general favourite, would un doubtedly command a high cash price, because of the extreme liveliness of his disposition, and his remarkable ability to amuse. These coloured people, however, notwithstanding the general activity of the coloured people's market, I have not yet been offered for sale at any price. In 'get they have some very unmarketable bad habits; t h e oost striking of which is a claim to natural and social ea 7 uality with the rest of mankind. Thu s, although coloured people, they not only m ade a visit t01 ,,, - (shlogton, but, to the great discredit of our institutiong, Actually succeeded in getting into the best circle of 60c ,!ety there !

The coloured people then proceeded to Baltimore, and although they had no free papers to show, and, so far as we are informed, no vouchers according to law, were permitted to pass through the city after only a brief detention on the part of the authorities. On Sunday afternoon they arrived in this City, and although their coming created great excitement, we have not learned that Capt. Rynders, or his deputy marshals, made any attempts at arrest. On the contrary, the chief magistrate, Mayor Wood, who stood so very high upon his dignity during his recent visit to the coloured people at Charleston, kindly condescended to give a cordial greeting to these coloured people on their visit to him at the City Hall. The Mayor's brother, too, sent to the coloured people a handsome bouquet ; though this instance has not made so striking an impression as the other, inasmuch as he is himself one of the coloured people, of the tribe of Wood's Minstrels. Gov. Morgan, from whom we had a right to expect great kindness to all coloured people, did no more than we anticipated in his polite attentions. But we confess to a grateful surprise at the generous invitation of • Mr. and Mrs. James Gordon Ben nett, soliciting the pleasure of the company of the coloured people in their spacious parlours at Wash ington Heights, on Tuesday, at 1 o'clock, It is how ever but just to Mr. Bennett to say that his invita tions were issued privately, and not through the columns of the Herald, so that no apprehension ' need be felt for the Union of the States. It is to be hoped that so many. and so flattering demonstrations of good-will towards the coloured people may be the harbinger of an era of better feel ing. Wo are glad to learn that, during their sta y in t this city, they will be hands o mely entertained sit the Metropolitan Hotel, and will be permitted to s , i ; at the same table with the whites. They now w aig up and down our streets unmolested, gree:te tention much curious but always respectful at d with when, fatigued with walking, they pr : efer to rid : e, tall they are gratified to find, asp nother evidence - creasing public sympathy, ehicles on s the avenues, fitted up for their express aecommoda th. tion, with the generous announcement, Coloured ble both to them people allowed in this car." Thus, every ing will be done to make their stay not that when they selves and to us, and we doubt agreea go away they wi ll take with them not only our b u t also ou r equally warm preju warm regards, le• dices against the coloured PeoP mate.

Evans, superintendent of the Thames shored for the present remand the prioner. Police, put in the official log-book of the Brierly Hill, and other documents, and iid that a com munication having been made to the Board of Trade by a shipping master of the poet of London, the Home Secretary had directed the a)prehension of the prisoner. He (Mr. Evans) had a so b e en di rected by the Commissioner of Police to summon the captain, officers, and crew of the sh e , w h o were in attendance. Henry Farrow, a very respectable and intelTent man, was the first witnes s called. He said— 'vas MANCSESTER- - OcT. 18. a seaman on board the Brierle y Hill, on a voyele An active business w 55 done in wheat to-day, with a from London to Australia and back.

Beans, oats, the water, which was not good. On Sunday a-d old oatmeal firm; new 'oatmeal the turn lower. morning, the sth of August, we made a complaint to Captain Vincent, the m aster of the ship, that the water was very bad. On the following morn ing, which.was Monday, the 6th, we had no break fast, because the coffee was salt, and not drinkable. I and Brown, and five others of the crew went aft on Monday morning, the 6th, to complain of the coffee. The captain was in his cabin, and the pri soner called him, and he came on deck. A seaman. asked the captain to taste the coffee. The captain did so, and said it was not bad, only a little brack ish, and not to be refused. William Brown said, " Captain, will you go into the Island of Ascension for good water ?" Mr. Selfe—Stop. How far were you from the Island of Ascension at that time ? Witness—We were from 24 to 30 hours' sail of the island then. The captain answered " No" to Brown's question. The deceased then spoke up and said, " Captain, if you will not go into the Island of Ascension you will have to be tied down until you do." The chief mate immediately w ent to his cabin and brought up a pistol , a nd said, " I'll blow the first man's brains out that lays a hand on the captain," and as he uttered those words he pointed the pistol at Brown, fired, and the man fell dead at his feet. Mr. Selfe—Had Brown done or said anything more than you have stated, or touched the captain ? Witness—He did not touch the captain or offer to molest him, or go near him with any hostile intention. Mr. Selfe—How was the mate holding the pistol ? The witness extended his right arm and hand towards the magistrate, and replied—This way he presented the pistol at Brown. Mr. Selfe—Are you quite sure that nothing was said or done by Brown after using the words you have mentioned ? Witness —Nothing was said or done after he used those words. In answer to other questions by Mr. Selfe, the witness said—l saw the chief mate's finger between the trigger on the lock of the pistol. It was full cock. I did not see it was on full cock when it was brought out of the cabin. The prisoner handed the pistol he had fired to the carpenter, and took a second pistol from the carpenter's hands, and said, " If you don't go forward, I will shoot every one of you. We left the dead body of Brown on the poop, and went forward. At nine o'clock, about three-quarters of an hour after the deceased had been shot, the captain called us aft. The chief mate was present, and said lie was very sorry any thing of this sort should have happened in his ship, and we then returned to our duty. Mr. Selfe—Did the chief mate say anything at that time ? Witness —He said the pistol went off by accident. Mr. Selfe—Any thing more ? Witness —Nothing else at that time. In the afternoon the captain called us aft again. The chief mate was present. An entry in the log-book was read over to us by the captain in the chief mate's presence. Mr. Selfe, after reading the entry of the occur rence in the official log-book, but not aloud, asked if it was true that Brown attempted to lay hands on the captain before the chief mate presented the pistol. Witness—lt is false, sir. Mr. Selfe—Be careful. Are you quite certain of that ? Witness—l am quite certain of it. I was quite close to Brown. Mr. Selfe—Did Brown put his hands behind him to draw a knife ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Selfe—Did he put his hands behin d him at all? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Selfe—Did he carry a knife ? Witness—Yes, sir, in a sheath by his side. Mr. Selfe—Did any knife fall from him as he fell when he was shot ? Witness—No, sir. I saw no knife fall from him. The poor man was buried the same night. We afterwards did go to Ascension, got frooh water there, and I came home in the vessel to London. The witness underwent a long and severe cross examination by Mr. Gomm. He' said no attempt was made by any one to touch the captain before the prisoner shot the deceased. When the hands ' were mustered at 9 o'clock the chief mate said, " This is what becomes of your mutiny. I did not intend the pistol to go off." The prisoner must have pasSed the pistol after he had fired it into the coin , panion. He would not swear the same pistol was handed back to the prisoner or a fresh one. By Mr. Selfe—The crew consisted of 18 persons, 12 forward and 6 aft. The persons aft consisted of the captain, two mates, the carpenter, steward, and an apprentice. There was no agreement as to what we should do before we went aft. We said if the captain refused to go into Ascension we would ask the officers to do so. Christopher Kearnan, an able seaman, who gave his evidence with the same distinctness as the last witness, said—l went aft with Brown, the last wit ness, and four others. There was no agreement what we should do. I took a small drop of tea in a pannikin which I had received from the cook that morning. I was unable to drink it, owing to its being so very salt. I went to the poop. I asked the steward to fetch the captain, and said I wanted to speak to him. When the captain came upon deck I handed the tea to him. He asked me what was the matter with it. I said it was salt, and could not drink it. The captain tasted it, and made answer that he could taste nothing bad in it ; it was a little brackish and we could drink it. I walked off the poop, and Brown passed me, went to the captain and said, " Capt. Vincent, will you go into the Island of Ascension and get some fresh water ?" The captain replied, "No Brown, I will not go into any place." Brown said, " No, Capt. Vincent, well then, you will have to be tied down until you go." That was all that was said, and all I heard. The chief mate wen : down to his cabin immediately, returned with a large .` Worse pistol , and said the first man tha t la y s hands on t:Se captain I will blow his brains out. Mr. Selfe—Bow near was Brown to the ca p tain when the prisoner said that P ithin Wit n ess—He was close to the captain—'Wee.., reach of him. Brown said t o the chief mate, `.will you ?" With that the prisoner deliberately pointed Captain, him dead. the pistol at the deceased's breast and s or raise Mr. Selfe—Did Brown touch the captain, his hand to him ? Witness—He did not, sir. istol to the de- Mr. Selfe—How near was the p ceased when he was shot ? t touched the man.

Inspector Cox, of the Thames police, produced the pistol in question, and said the capt am told him sbelieved that was the one with whi c h th e pri ner shot the deceased, in answer to Mr. Selfe, the witness said Brown did nothing with his hands behind him, and had no knife in his hand, or ever offered to take a knife. It i s not true that a knife fell from his hand when he fell. His knife was in his sheath when he was shot. I heard the prisoner say, after he got the second pistol, " If you do not all go forward I will shoot every man of you." Brown then lay dead at his feet. Cross-examined by Mr. Gomm—l did not see the deceased move his hand towards mate when he was shot. The prisoner handed down the pistol to the carpenter after it was fired. The second pistol was capped. I was eight or nine feet off when it was brought upon the poop deck. Henry Farrow was about the same distance off. On the same morning, about 9 o'clock, when the crew were ordered to get aft, the chief mate said some such words as these—that he did not mean to shoot the man, and that the pistol wont off accidentally. The mate also said, " See what your mutiny has com e to." Brown had been dead half an hour when these words were mid, I Royer (Dwelled with the chic! HEALTH OF SCOTLAND.—It is satisfactory t learn from the Registrar-General's report for last non` that the daily deaths in the eight principal towns of Scot land (with a population estimated at 908,146) have fallen from 96 in February to 53 in September. The difference is enormous. The mortality is now below the average. Yet some of these towns aro suffering from epidemics, small pox, measles, and scarlet fever. Thirty per cent. of the mor tality of the month was from zymotic (epidemic and con tagious) diseases. But, to set against this, the usual autumnal diarrhoea has scarcely manifested itself at all, and the absence of violent alternations of temperature allowed the deaths from inflammatory affections of the respiratory organs to fall to 135. The large p ro p ortion of 49 per cent. of the deaths in these towns in September were of children under five years of age ; at the other extreme of life five nonagenarians expired, the eldest (the widow of a farmer) in her 99th year. The mean tempera ture of the month was 50 . 7 deg., being 3.8 deg. below the average of the four preceding years. The depressions at night were severe • in Aberdeen and Perth 29 deg. , in Paisley, 2 8 . 5 deg. 'The humidity of the air was about the average, but less than half the usual quantity of rain fell, and the number of days on which it fell was ....-fourth below the average.
