(From the Times.) We publish to-day news which will gladden the heart of every friend of liberty in Europe. The insurrection in Sicily is fully, and we trust finally, victorious ! Palermo has been taken by Garibaldi after a terrible struggle. The Neapolitan troops, after being driven from position after position, have at last capitulated, and are to embark on board the King's vessels with the.usual honours. Gari baldi is now master of the island. In a few days at furthest the feeble garrisons which have been left in some other of the towns on the coast will be forced to surrender, and Francis H. will be finally dispossessed of Sicily. Though believing that it was imp .ssible to retain the island under Bourbon domination, we had hardly looked for success so speedy and so complete. In little more than three weeks from the landing of the Italian chief with a handful of men this beautiful and long oppressed island is free, and another heavy blow has been given to the fabric of despotism which is tottering to its fall in Southern and Central Europe. Such a feat of arms has seldom been related in history. We have seen so many failures of late years—so many men have sprung forward in the name of liberty and nationality to accomplish great things, have been found wanting in the day of trial, and then fallen for ever, that lookers-on may naturally be slow to offer their confidence and admiration to a revolutionary leader. But Garibaldi has taken his place in history as one of the most extraordi nary military commanders that this century has produced. He is no longer to be reckoned among those who are aspiring to a great name, who give promise of great achievements, but respecting whom the world must suspend its judgment. His reputation is made, his position is taken, though we hope that his work is not yet done. That genius for war which was first shown in the siege of Rome, and which bewildered the Austrians last year by its vigour and audacity, has now broken up the Neapolitan kingdom, and will end doubt less in giving liberty to the whole of Southern Italy. Henceforward Garibaldi will receive not only the sympathy but the full confidence of all who are interested in the Italian cause. He has shown the difference between foolhardiness and that boldness which, based on accurate calculations, is the highest triumphs of military genius. When he landed with his 1,500 men at Marsala he did that which might have exposed him for ever to obloquy as a hot-headed enthusiast. He endangered all his past reputation. He abandoned a political position in the Sardinian monarchy which might have contented any man, and began an enterprise which many of those who sympathised with it most deeply looked upon as desperate. It now appears that Garibaldi knew his own powers, the temper of the Sicilian people, and the weakness of the Royal authority. The struggle is over, and the tyrants who but one month ago tortured and slaughtered the Sicilians with impunity are now driven from the island, and may perhaps be brought to justice even in the capital of the monarchy. It is of little use for us to attempt to follow the military operations by which this astonishing success has been achieved. The news given in the despatches is too meagre, and we trust before long to be able to lay before our readers a detailed and trustworthy narrative from a well-known corre spondent. But the main points appear to have been as follows :—By the 26th of May Garibaldi had entirely cleared the country about Palermo of the King's troops. The battle of Monreale, impu dently represented by the official accounts as a vic tory, had been a most complete defeat, and had been followed by the retirement of the troops into the town and the investment of the place by the Sici lians, who, though insufficiently armed and desti tute of cannon, were numerous and elated by their success at Calata Fimi and Monreale. At 4 o'clock on the morning of Sunday, the 27th, Garibaldi made a sudden attack on the north side of the town, a dis trict called Peperito. A fierce combat ensued, which lasted for two hours, and ended in placing Garibaldi in possession of this part of the place. No sooner was this accomplished than the inhabitants rose in mass, attacking the troops with every weapon which chance could supply. Two or three hours more sufficed to give the people possession of the whole town, and the troops retired into the citadel. Then followed the brutal outrage on which we commented on Saturd iy. The garrison being driven out of the town, the Neapolitan squadron began to bombard it. During the whole of Sun day afternoon and through great part of the night the ships threw shells into Palermo, the town was set on fire in many places, a number of buildings were destroyed, and no doubt the loss of life among the inhabitants was considerable. On Monday Garibaldi stormed the citadel. It appears that on the previous day a park of artillery was captured, and no doubt the Sicilians were by this means better enabled to operate against the refuge of the soldiery. Of the details of the last conflict we know nothing. It must have gone hard with General Lanza, however, for he determined to capitulate. The transaction was arranged on board her Britannic Majesty's ship Hannibal. We pre sume it is stipulated that the army which has capi tulated shall not be landed at any other point in Sicily, but, at all events, Garibaldi, with the capital of the island in his hands, and with a people at his back flushed with victory, may now bid defiance to any efforts of the Neapolitan Court. Perhaps such a capitulation is the happiest mode of terminating the struggle. We do not doubt that Garibaldi is willing to hurt as little as possible the feelings of the King's troops. Those who were the enemies of yesterday may be the friends of to mor row. One account says that during the battle in the town three regiments went over, and it may be that the army which was employed to keep down the Sicilians will shortly endanger its master's throne. After all, Neapolitans are Italians, soldiers are men, and there cannot be a high-spirited officer in the King's service who does not look with more sympathy on Garibaldi than on a Lanza or a Salzano. We may conclude that, as far as regards Sicily, the contest is nearly at an end. Messina must soon fall, and then the island, placed under a Pro visional Government,with Garibaldi at its head, will be an independent Power in Europe. What will be the acts of the Dictator we have yet to learn, but it is not likely that he will sit down in quiet, or think anything done while anything remains to do. The man who, like a Norman adventurer of old, made his descent with two shipfulls of followers and conquered a kingdom in three weeks, is hardly likely to settle down now that he rules a population of more than 2,000,000, and has the spoils of the Neapolitan Arsenals with which to equip the levies who will join him. We may certainly look for some stirring events on the mainland. Italy is in such a state that boldness is the best and, indeed, the only possible policy. The Royal party at Naples is panic stricken, and the discontent of the people, roused into fury by the news from Sicily, may anticipate any movements of Garibaldi. It may be that as we write King Francis has been driven from the domi nions which his family have cursed. It may even be that the Neapolitan troops, ashamed of their dis grace and of the cause they serve, will follow the example of the Tuscan and Modenese armies, and bring the tyranny of the Bourbons to an end. But, even if these events do not take place, we feel pretty sure that Garibaldi will follow up his victory. His presence in Calabria now would be the signal for an insurrection as fierce as that which has broken out in Sicily. With 5,000 men such as stormed Palermo he might march from the Straits of Naples in a month. (From the Morning Post.) Very strange is the contrast exhibited at the present moment between the military struggle of which Sicily is the scene and the religious hostility caused by the attitude of the Romish Church in Central Italy. In the name of civil freedom az national independence great efforts have been made, and great successes have been achieved, the most signal being the capture of the Sicilian capital ; and the patriotic leader, to whose moral influence and warlike daring these successes are mainly due, is, of all living Italians, the man most opposed to the power and pretensions of the Papacy. In the name of Catholic rights and clerical privi lege, the chief members of the Romish prelacy in the new dominions of King Victor Emmanuel `are endeavouring to sap the foundations of that Monarch's throne, and it is' but the natural conse quence of their intrigues that the Italian people universally regard, and the Sardinian Government is compelled to treat, them as rebels to their country and their King. The guerilla chieftain, who has just entered Palermo in triumph, looks on the Papacy as the plague spot of Italy, or, rather, as a gnawing and consuming cancer that preys upon its vitals and eats away its strength. The mitred conspirator of Pisa, now forcibly conducted to the Sardinian capital, regards Italian liberty as an evil spirit, to be banned and exorcised by bell, and book, and can dle, by the sprinkling of holy water, and the perfor mance of solemn rites. Both may be taken as Italian representative men in 1860. But whilst the Pre late is only the latest reproduction of a type, never waiting at any period in the purple oligarchy of the Vatican, the patriot General is a figure, reap- ASCOT RACES.

Of the two struggles carried on, one by the patriot bands in the kingdom of t he Two Sicilies against a'rule of unexampled cruelty, the other by the Papal intriguers in Central Italy against the nascent freedom of their country, the former pos sesses for the moment by far the keenest dramatic interest. Yet it would 'be a great mistake to re bard it as the more important of the two. Rome is now fighting for her very altars and her hearths. It is a moral warfare, of which the results must prove far more important than any mili tary campaign. To dislodge twenty five thou sand well-armed, well-disciplined, and most desperate troops from the Sicilian capital is an insignificant matter when compared with the dislodging of deep-rooted prejudice and tradi tionary belief from the minds of many millions of the Italian people. A great living poetess, in one of the noblest passages of her works, has counted up all the things that go to making up a Pope before he wears the triple crown. Passing the world-wide throes by which his empire was first secured, the depair of the wise, the good, the free, the faggots flash, the short, mad cries, " down oubliettes," the persecution sustained, now at the hands of a tyrannical prince, and again at those of an infuriated populace passing by all this, she has dwelt on what even the best of Popes must be and do. He must hold by Popes a little, and by councils a good deal, by hierocratic empire, more or less irresponsible to men ; he must crush the particular conscience of each individual man, and repress in quiry, meditation, and argument, as treason and faction in his spiritual despotiv4;,, He must remorselessly sacrifice his country to his caste. And this is the truth which Pope Pius has branded into the convictions of the whole Italian people, who now scoff and toss back the crozier which Rome would stretch like a yoke across their necks, to press them still closer down with an unrelenting tyranny. In this antagonism between the Italian people and the Church of Rome are contained the elements of a great moral and religious conflict, one, of which the inevitable necessity is but faintly perceived by the Italians themselves. It is in vain to draw the distinction, which they so frequently set up, be tween the vices and crimes of the Prince of the Roman State, and the reverence and authority due to the Pontiff of the Romish Church. This distinction must, we know, disappear before the inexorable logic of facts. The desire of the Italians to sepa rate is not half so strong as the determination of Rome unceasingly to confound her double func tions. Throughout the whole Catholic world the spiritual offices of the Church have at the present moment a direct reference to the form of Govei n meat established in Central Italy. The influence of the confessional, we are informed in all the Italian journals, is brought to bear directly on the political and moral security of the new Italian hngdom. The finger of the priest crosses or curses, ot the believer or the heretic, but the tool of Austria and Rome, or the loyal subject of King Victor Emmanuel. All the laws of human na ture must be reversed, all the experience of history must be set at nought, if the tonsured intriguers who thus plot against their country are ' still able to command in Italy veneration for their creed. The Romish faith, it is true, retains a won derfully strong hold of the feelings, and the imagi nation, and the conscience of its devotees. But its influence is now exposed to shocks, in which the strongest ties of human nature itself would infal libly be snapped asunder. If, by some monstrous portent, all the relations of domestic life should be come so frightfully inverted, that not in one village or in one town alone, but in all the populous cities, in all the hamlets, in every cottage of the Italian peninsula, the father should systemati cally neglect, and maltreat, and rob, and beat; and insult his own offspring, paternal authority and filial affection would assuredly become empty names —the outraged child would repel the distinction between the theoretical reverence which he was bound to pay and the practical cruelty which he hourly suffered. It is no otherwise at the present moment with the fine distinctions which it is en deavoured to preserve between the spiritual father whom the Italians should revere, and the temporal tyrant who would again bind them in his chains. In the one case as in the other, common sense and human nature laugh to scorn all the theorisings of an idle sophistry. FRENCH THEATRICALS. LYRIQUE. The great success which has attended the revivals, at this theatre, of the chefs-douvre of Weber, Mo zart, and Gluck, gave rise lately to a still more arduous enterprise—the production of Beethoven's opera of " Fidelio." On the present occasion, how ever, the failure is evident, and the liberties taken with both music and libretto have resulted in a pasticcio little better than a travestie of the opera. It may well be doubted if any efforts could have rendered this opera, in spite of all that has been said in its praise, welcome to a Parisian audience; the instrumenta tion is doubtless a fine study for musicians, and the genius of the great German composer is evi dent throughout, but that genius was eminently symphonic, and so little is there of easily intelli gible or really vocal melody in " Fidelio" that even with the Malibran and Mlle. Cruvelli as Leonora, it never became a popular favourite, notwithstand ing its unquestioned grandeur of conception and orchestration, to which the resources of the Theatre Lyrique are totally inadequate. Mme. Viardot, as Leonora, displayed all her energy and artistic talent, but the part is high for her voice, and we cannot but regret she should have accepted it after her triumph in Orphee. Battaille is equally unfortu nate as Rocco, the jailer, and the subordinate parts were sustained, as best they might be, by Mlle. Faivre, MM. Froment and Serene, of whom Mlle. Faivre, at least, merited the applause she received. GAITE. The list of novelties this week is rather worse than nil, seeing that the only production it has brought forth is a lugubrious affair entitled " Une Pecheresse," being the adventures of a young lady of the class of " La Traviata," " Marion Delorme," and many others, all of which are so perfectly known to the play-going world that there is not an incident or scarcely a passage in the present piece which is not anticipated by the spectator. The principal character is a furiously virtuous young man, by name Andrew Stevens, a sign-painter by trade, who having the good—or ill—fortune to pre serve a young woman from suicide, incontinently goes and marries her. He speedily diseovers that this was a mistake, as she turns out to be one of the unhappy tribe, familiarly known to London police offices as " unfortunate." The results of the singu larly hasty union may easily be divined—ceaseless jealousy on the part of the husband, and misery to both. Two or three comic roles are introduced to enliven the dulness of the proceedings, one scene of which is laid at Musard's ball, which rather relieve the heaviness of the 'piece, and at the close Monsieur Andrew has the grace to ac knowledge that he has been wrong, and his sus picions of his wife unfounded. Full of common place sentiment, absurdity, and improbability as this piece is, there is a vein of interest running through it which somehow, in spite of all defects, keeps the attention and sympathy of the audience i alive. It s fairly acted ; and the names of the writers, MM. Prebois and Barriere, were received with a warmth that promises " Une Pecheresse" a fair prospect of a run. nd During the performance of "Pierre de Medicis" on Monday evening Mme. Ferrais had the misfor tune to sprain one of the tendons of the heel, and was totally unable to continue her performance. The opera is in consequence postponed for a few nights, to allow her a little repose. Miss St. George, a special favourite of the Lon don theatres, has arrived in Paris en route for the other principal capitals of the Continent, whither she is proceeding with a view to give musical and dramatic entertainments; a species of representa tion to which the sprightly talents and voice of this , young lady are most admirably adapted to give effect. Miss Cushman, the justly celebrated American tragedian, is at present in Paris on her return from Rome, where she has been pas s ing the winter. MM. Binfield's Soirée Musicale passed off bril liantly. The programme commenced with their trio on Oberon. Then came an old favourite, Stevens's glee " Ye spotted snakes," new to Paris, and sung with good expression and ensemble by Mlle. Falconi and the madrigal party. Mr. H. Bin field performed a charming new harp mazurka, and his variations on the " the faro" and Parish Alvar's " Mandoline" study with his usual brilliant finger ing; his Agnus Dei was very well rendered, and was warmly applauded. Bach's fine organ in fiat, and Schubert's " Hark, the lark,' ar pre,lude A Paris letter in the Indepemlance gives some curious details relative to the opera of " Semira mide' " which is about to be brought out at the Grand Opera in a French form :—" In preparing for the coming representation, it was impossible to find a complete partition of the opera. When Ros sini composed it, music was not engraved in Italy ; but the parts were copied by hand at the theatre, and those copies, being executed by unintelligent persons, were often very incorrect and incomplete. The copyist furnished the other theatres who ap plied to him, and, as the orchestras of those houses were limited to only a few instruments, they, from a principle of economy, merely sent for such par titions as would suit them. The quartettes of the stringed instruments were always more complete and more carefully copied than the rest. Rossini told me the other day that even at the Italian Theatre of Paris, they had never had the partition such as he had written it. In- order- to—procure it for the French Opera, it was necessary to make long and difficult researches, to consult the libraries of several theatres in Italy, and at length the work was recompleted. On the day of the first representation of " Semiramide," Galli, who had the pert of Assur, sang constantly too high ; he per ceived his error, but found it impossible to come down to the proper tone. At the fall of the curtain he dared not present himself before the maestro, whom he knew was in the house; but Rossini, perceiving him, approached with open arms, and exclaimed " Yeni, porco, that I may embrace you; you have sung admirably false during the whole evening." So much for the letter of the lndepen dance. We may add that it was in this opera Mme. Malibran made her debut in Paris. She ap peared as Arsace—Mlle. Sontag being the Semira mide. The representation was for the benefit of Galli, the baritone above mentioned, and took place at the Grand Opera. The success of Milibran was so great, that she was engaged on the spot for the Italiens by M. Laurent, who was then Director. THE COMBINATION OF WORKMEN. The adjourned charge against George Bellamy, a foreman, and James Long, a plasterer, under the employment of Mr. Myers, contractor for the erection of the Westminster Palace Hotel, for conspiring to procure the discharge of an other plasterer, named Munday, the particu lars of which have been previously detailed, was on Saturday resumed at Westminster Police-court, before Mr. Paynter. Mr. Beaumont, for the prosecution, said that when last at that court he had had to deal with witnesses unwilling to give testimony for the pro secution, the one he had most relied on refusing to say a single word; but the magistrate would now see by the testimony he should adduce that a very different complexion was put upon the case, that there was an unlawful combination of the union men to procure the discharge of the non-unionists in the employment of Mr. Myers, and that a placard in furtherance of their designs had been printed which he should put in evidence to show the cha racter of the proceedings. The following was then put in, and the printer whose name it bore, "John Dyer, 21, Young-street, Kensington," sworn, but he refused to give evidence on the ground that he was not bound to answer any questions that might criminate himself Important Notice to the Operative Plasterers of London and its Vicinity. " May, 1,1860. " FELLOW -WORKMEN,--It is, perhap3, needless to inform you that there are a few of our trade who, during the builders' late ' lock-out,' accepted the odious document then offered to us. As long- as these men employed with us at the Westminster Palace Hotel conducted themselves with civility to wards us, we treated them in as friendly a manner as their colour could expect. While we and our families were starving rather than transform our selves into a state of serfdom, their inhuman be haviour towards us was most insulting and unmanly. Even those insults we have endeavoured to forget ; but now they have, through tattling to their fore men, succeeded in getting many honourable men discharged, therefore such conduct has become so intolerable that we (the plasterers) one hundred and fifty in number, have resolved to leave Myers s works, at the Westminster Palace Hotel, not to return again until the document men are re moved. Rally round us, then, fellow-workmen, and render us all the necessary moral and pecuniary support in your power, and we shall yet accomp lish our object in spite of the starvation to which the builders subjected us by their cruel and heartless luck-out. "YOUR FELLOW-WORKMEN." Mr. Paynter decided that the printer was not bound to answer questions, and said that the placard itself was most illegal and disgraceful, as trammelling freedom of action and free employment of labour and capital. W. Coleman, general foreman to Mr. Myers, said that on the 30th of April, three men waited upon him, defendant Long being one of the number. They stated that they came as a deputation from the body of workmen, and were sent to request him to discharge 20 men. They did not mention their names. Witness asked them what for, when they for insults. Witness told them he could not enter into the broad discharge of 20 men, but if there was any one whose conduct had been insult ing, he would investigate the matter, and discharge if the misconduct deserved it. They then charged Munday with having insulted them ; they said he had boasted about having power to get society men discharged, and would not himself belong to a set of operatives. Witness sent for Munday before the three delegates, and asked him if he was guilty of the conduct imputed him, when he denied that part of the accusation respecting his power to get so ciety men discharged, but admitted he had said he would not belong to any set of operatives. Wit ness told him that he had acted with indiscretion in using words calculated to excite a body of men, and having taken time to consider the matter, wit ness sent Munday his ticket of discharge that after noon. On the following day Long and two other men employed by Mr. Myers came to him when witness was present, and had a conversation with him. As the society men had that day left the works, witness told Munday to come back, and he did two days afterwards. In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, jun., witness said there were 700 men employed at the West minster Palace Hotel ; some belonged to trade so cieties, some did not. Witness never belonged to a trade society. Witness thought Munday's language to the other men likely to cause dissensions among them. When he was discharged work was offered him close by, and witness did not know that he had not gone to it till afterwards. It was Munday's own admission of the language he had used in the first instance that made witness discharge him. No control or intimidation was used to witness by the three men to induce him to discharge Munday, and if he bad not admitted the fact of using the intem perate language he would not have been discharged. Witness was re-examined, and said that on the 3d of May three strange men, unconnected with the works, representing themselves as delegates from the society, came and spoke to Mr. Myers, when he pointed out that he made no distinction between society and non-society men, he only knew either as workmen ; they asked him to di.seliarge twenty men, and told him they meant the first twenty on the list. The only reason given was that they had insulted the other men. Mr. Joseph Myers was then called, and s tated that on May 1, three men came t o him. as described, and asked . for twenty men to be d v lclifirged ; at that time he had already been told that Monday had been properly discharged. asked why they required the twenty men ovi?linrged, when the three men replied, because the others had accepted the declaration. 1-Ie did not see why these men should be sacrificed, and gave orders that the other men who resisted them should be discharged, and most of the unionists left. The three men said that the men were on strike, and would not return unless the first twenty men whose names were on the list were discharged. On the following day three other men came and repre sented themselves as a deputation from the men on strike, and said they would not return unless the twenty men were diovharged. They subsequently ' asked if he would have any objection to separate the society and non-society men. In answer to Mr. Lewis, witness said he con sidered Monday was hasty and intemperate in hi expression to the other men, and understood ti when charged he admitted it. Witness told him that it would be discreet Of him to work comfort ably with the unionists. Munday refused to go to other work where he would be the only plasterer employed. Sonic of the non-unionists thought Munday in the wrong. Mr. Paynter wished to know whether there was anything offensive in a man saying he would not belong to a society of operatives ? Mr. Myers replied that it might be used offen sively, and explained that it was accompanied on this occasion by a prefix of a sanguinary character. Mr. Pavnter inquired whether the men had re turned to their employment, and how things were going on at present at the hotel ? Mr. Myers said he believel that all the men who struck were at work again, and there were about equal numbers of society and non-society men. Mr. Paynter thought that after what he had heard there was an end to the case, for although there might be in the strict letter of the law a con spiracy to procure the discharge of Munday, the other men had reasonable ground of objection against him, and were so justified in the opinion of Mr. Myers himself that he had discharged him, as he would have done any other man who miscon ducted himself. In the case of requesting the dis charge of twenty other men, the matter was different. That was clearly a conspiracy ; but that was not the complaint before him. The men, it seemed, had returned to their work ; they had re pented of their conduct ; had seen, perhaps, that it was open to censure, and, such being the case, it was as well that the matter rested where it did, and that the men peacefully and honestly followed their daily calling. It appeared to have been considered by something that transpired in the previous hear ing of the case, that one class of men were right in requesting that the other should be removed to work at another part of the building ; but he must assure the working mu, unionists or non-unionists, that they were in erfer in that respect, for a mas ter had a right to employ his men where or in what part he pleased, and any interference with that right might put the master to serious inconvenience; and he hoped that workmen would not go away from that court with a notion that they had a right to impose any such conditions upon their employers. He was quite sure that if they were properly ad vised, they would, not continue dissensions which not only must affect their masters but seriously affect themselves ; but if men were insulted in their employment, their feelings ought to be duly con sidered, and care should be taken by the removal of the offending party that nothing should impede the progress of peace, comfort, and order. He must repeat that he was glad to hear the matter spoken of in this inquiry was at an end, and he sincerely hoped it would never be renewed; and he conjured union and non-union men alike to abstain from any remarks calculated to excite or inflame the other's temper, but rather to use every means in their power to restore that good feeling which should ever exist amongst working men. Mr. Myers assured the magistrate that he never made any distinction between society and non society men. The solicitor for the prosecution declared that Munday denied having used the offensive expression imputed. Bellamy complained that he had been again and again brought from his work without anything being proved against him, and the wit nesses for the prosecution urged that they ought to be paid for their loss of time. Mr. Paynter said he could not help any of them, and defendants were then discharged. 4:-..•A 4-- --- , ,t , t ",' 1( .6, ' TH OFF)" PLD-3I ARSII ( ""*1 - OF STRAFFORD, G.C.'c eat •-\• • • 1-1 v 4:41 ..--,.. - - :-.--- egret_ to announce the dea '; • ---' )- short illness, of - Field-Marshal the Ea&of saaf- S ford, Colonel of the 2d or Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards. The venerable and gallant nobleman expired at his residence in Lower Grosvenor-street last evening at a quarter past eight o'clock. In stating above that his lordship's illness was short, it need only be said that up to a late hoar on Saturday there was no indication of illness. The deceased Field-Marshal, who was the tl,' ' son of Mr. George Byng, of Wrotham•park,, ''. lesex, and grandson of the Hon. Robt. Byng,' third son of the first Viscount Torrington, had reached the advanced age of 88 years, and, with the exception of Lord Sinclair, was the oldest member of the House of Peers. The gallant earl had' achieved an honourable reputation in the army. He entered the 33d Regiment in 1793, and served is that regiment in Flanders and in Holland in 1794 and 1795, and was wounded at Geldermalsen, and subsequently in Ireland. In the expedition to Hanover in 1805 he served in the 3d Guards ; he took part in the expedition to Copenhagen in 1807, . and was also in the Walcheren expedition in 1809, when he was with the reserve under General Sir J. Hope, and commanded his advance, composed of the Grenadier battalion of the Guards and a detachment of the 95th Rifles. In that command he charged a detachment of the Dutch troops, taking some offi cers and upwards of 100 men prisoners. In 1811 he proceeded to the Peninsula to join the brigade of Guards in Portugal, and in September of that year he was appointed to the command of a brigade in the second division of the army under Lord Hill. He was present with it in all the move ments and affairs with the enemy in the south of Spain, and during the period of the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo was detached in command to Idanha Nova with his own brigade and some cavalry to observe the movements of a corps of the enemy commanded by General Foy at Coria. Upon his gallant chief, Lord Hill, joining the main body of the army at the commencement of the campaign of 1813 he was engaged in the several actions of Vittoria, of the Pyrenees, of Pampeluna (in which action he was wounded), in the crossing of the Nivelle, and the attack of the fortified camp, when he was wounded. and had two horses shot under him ; at Cambe, in driving the enemy's outposts and reconnoitring the tete•de pont ; in the passage of the Nive and the affair before Bayonne on Dec. 13, 1813, when the 2d Division was attacked by six divisions of the French army, commanded by Marshal Soult. In that action a horse was shot under him. On the 14th of February, at the commencement of the campaign of 1814, he was engaged with the rear guard of the enemy at Espellette, and on the suc ceeding day was employed in the attack of the heights above Garris. He was in the subsequent actions of Orthes and Aire, and he repulsed the enemy at Garlin, and was also engaged with his brigade at the battle of Toulouse. In the campaign of 1815 he eminently distinguished himself, more particularly at Waterloo, having the command of the 2d brigade of the Ist division. He was after that victory appointed to the command of the first corps of the British army which marched from Wa terloo to Paris, and on the march took the fortified. city of Peronne,:and subsequently took posses sion of Paris by occupying the heights of Belle Ville and Montmartre. In 1812 he was appointed Governor of Londonderry and Culmore, and was made a Privy Councillor in 1827. In 1831 he was nominated a Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, having in 1828 been made a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Hanoverian Order of Knighthood. From 1831 up to 1835 he represented the borough of Poole in the House of Commons. In 1837 he was elevated to the House of Lords by the creation of Baron Strafford, and was ultimately created an earl in 1847. The gallant deceased was appointed Colonel of the 2d. West India Regiment in July, 1822 ; in January, 1828, he was removed to the 29th Regiment, and in August, 1850, he was made Colonel of the Cold stream Guards, in the room of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. His. lordship, who had frequently received the thanks of Parlia ment for his military services, had received the Gold Cross and one clasp for Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, and Orthes; and the silver war medal, with one clasp, for Toulouse; he was also Knight of the Order of Maria Theresa of Austria and of St. George of Russia. In addition to other staff appointments, he had commanded the forces in Ireland. The commissions of the venerable de ceased bore date as follows :—Ensign, Septem ber 30, 1793 ; Lieutenant, December 1, 1793 ; Captain, May 24, 1794 ; Lieutenant-Colonel March 14, 1800; Colonel, July 25, 1810; Major- General,. June 4, 1813; Lieutenant-General, May 27, 1825; General, November 23, 1841 ; and Field- Marshal, October 2, 1855. His Lordship is suc ceeded in the earldom by his eldest son, George Stevens, Viscount Enfield, born June 8, 1806, who, after sitting in the House of Commons successively from 1831 for Milbourne Port, Poole, and Chatham, to 1852, was in 1853 summoned to the House of Lords by the title of Baron Strafford of Harmonds worth. He married first, in 1829, Lady Agnes Paget, fifth daughter of the late Field-Marshal the Marquis of Anglesey, who: died in 1845 ; and, secondly, in March, 1848, Harriet Elizabeth, second daughter of Lord Chesham. The present peer has held several appointments during the Whig Ad ministrations, having been a Lord of the Treasury in 1834, Controller of the Queen's Household, and afterwards Treasurer of her Majesty's Household ; and in July, 1816, Secretary to the Board of Control. A Git WEFUL GIFT. The following interesting communication from. the clerks and workmen in the employ of Messrs. Ransomes and Sims, of Ipswich, transmitting a spontaneous gift to the Royal National Life-boat Institution, is a gratifying evidence of the social kindness of heart that is so frequently found among our British workmen : " Orwell Works, Ipswich, May 31, 1860. " Gentlemen,—We respectfully request you to hand over to the Royal National Life-boat Institu tion the sum of twenty guineas, collected from the clerks, foremen, and men of these works, and their friends. We desire to express our sym pathy with those who have exerted themselves •n behalf of this noble institution. The affecting statement contained in the institution's report, that 1,600 persons perished on our coast during the last year, a considerable proportion of whom might have been saved had the means which this institution provides been at hand ; the number of widows and orphans left destitute and the fact that the institution has incurred liabilitiesto the amount of £3,834, constitutes a claim (which can not be waived)on the benevolence of the general public. We do not, therefore, place any emphasis on the amount we contribute, there being several urgent cases of local charity which claim our sup port and prevent us from doing more, but we wish our example may be placed before our fell Ti -work men of the United Kingdom by their prncipals, feeling assured that the appeal of the institution might thereby awaken a response so general and so hearty as to relieve it from present liabilities, and enable it to extend its humane operations. W e ought to reflect that, as no one can be exempt from common neitheroo d. import a t h e c ommon laws of humanit y , so no o ne can claim exempt i on from a common duty to those who spend their sea navythere for the g couldbe no r export trade, on which depend me rcantile r l c i a v n e t s ie at depends so much of the e mployment of labour ; and if not left destitute of the bare necessities of life, we should be without many of the comforts and articles of every-day consumption.

Sir,—As I and other friends of Mary Eugenia Plummer have received many letters from strangers, expressing sympathy with the child, and an opi nion that she has been unjustly convicted, and as —notwithstanding the efforts made by articles and advertisements in the daily press before and since this second verdict to bias public opinion in favour of Mr. Hatch—the confidence of a great partion of the public in the truthfulness of the child has not been shaken, it will perhaps be a satisfaction to them if you will permitme to makeknown through your columns that her Majesty has been graciously pleased to grant a pardon to the child on condition of her being placed in the care of a lady selected by her friends, and that she will to-day be taken into her care. I am informed that it has been stated in one of your contemporaries that the child has been sent to a reformatory, but this I beg to state is not the fact. Ihave a firm belief in the in nocence of the child, and I am one of those who think that, however public opinion may be misled for a time, it ultimately comes round to the' side of truth and justice, and I have no doubt that even tually in this case the innocence of the child will be made appear.-1 am, &c., WALTERS F. PRATT. A company is said to be in course of formation, to be called the London and Oriental Steam Company, for a line to India via the Cape by vessels to perform the ser vice with regularity in 45 days. The contemplated steamers are 6,000 tons register and 1,200 horse-power, and _among the points urged for the necessity of the route are the increased accommodation that will be required for the army passenger traffic under the new regulations respect ing the number and description of troops to be henceforth employed in India, and the importance of having an effi cient alternative means of communication for mails, mer chandise, stores, and passengers, military or civil, in case of any contingency that might interfere with the Egyptiatf transit. TILE GALE AND THE CROPS.—The young wheat in Norfolk have, it is feared, sustained considerable damage in the late gale. The plants before the gale were growing vigorously, and, being soft and brittle, they have been cut, twisted, and torn in a manner sad to witness. The high and exposed light lands have suffered more than lower dis tricts, the plant in the former neighbourhoods being thinner and weaker. As regards the other grain crops, it may be added that barleys in Norfolk present a variable appearance, the heavy lands having recently suffered somewhat from a superabundance of moisture. In the fen districts a similar Cate of things exists. THE SECRETARY AT WAR ON THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.—At the dinner of the Wilts Friendly Society held this week at Warminster, the Secretary at War, Mr. Sidney Herbert, in acknowledging the toast of " The Army and Navy, and the health of the Right Hon. Sidney Her bert, the Minister at War," thus referred to the volunteer rifle movement :—" Charged as he was with very heavy duties, he did not know that he had any labour which had been so much a labour of love to him as to see this enormous and powerful armed force, that had been growing up within the last few months. The volunteers, rifles and artillery, numbered now about 120,000 in England. (Cheers.) He was told at first that they were making toys of the thing, and that they were mere holiday soldiers—that they would strut about, and never stick to their drill and learn their business. Now he saw the other day with his own eyes some battalions of rifles mancouvring in London, and he was told by a very distinguished and eminent officer of the regular army that he never saw troops reove about so well ; and, speaking of the lieutenant-colonel,. he never saw an officer of the line go through the work in a better style. (Cheers.) For his part, he sincerely hoped that this movement would spread, and give a true martial feel ing to the whole of the population. He believed that the present martial feeling had arisen from the circumstances which required it. We were an industrious people, we were a powerful people, and for our industry we required peace ; and he believed that the very best guarantees we could have for peace was, that we should be in such a state of preparation that none but a desperate man would attempt to meddle with us. (Loud applause.) He would not say more on the subject beyond this, that he believed the spirit which had now arisen would be a lasting one. He believed that those who had entered into this movement had done so from the highest motives, and that its continu ance would be the best guarantee for peace that we could possibly have." DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS. — A fire happened on Saturday at Mr. J. Gower's, licensed vier tualler, and proprietor of the Castle Hotel, in Long-alley, Bishopsgate. It appears that, whilst some p ersons were engaged drawing off spirits, the vapour became ignited, and the flame spread rapidly about the bar. The brigade eventually succeeded in getting the flames extinguished, but not until the bar, the stock of wine and spirits, the two commercial prlours, the tap room, and four rooms on the first floor, a as well as the roof, wore destroyed. The premises of Mr. J. Johnstone, let out in tenements; those of Mr. J. Martin, No. 43, also let out in tenements; and those numbered 44, let out to poor families, were also severely damaged by fire and water. A fir , e also happened on Saturcray morning on the premises belonging to Mr. Freeman, the builder and contractor, situate at No. 75, Cowcross-street, West Smithfield. The firemen were unable to get the mastery over the flames until he property of Mr. Freeman was destroyed ; and the premises of Messrs. Daveness, pravision merchants, Not 73; Mr. J. Watson, hair-dresser, No. 19;, Mr. Parsons, slaughterman, No. 82 ; Mr. C. Gregory, blacksmith, No. 73; and three houses in Greenhill's-rents, were severely danin; , ed q tire and water. Out of the great number of eulierors only Mr. Freeman was insured.. The origin of the fire is unknown. L ast ni g ht, about six o'clock, the inhabitants of G ww ell-street, Clerkenwell, were greatly alarmed in consequence of a cry of " Fire" resounding throughout the neighbourhood. Thousands of persons im mediately proceeded to the spot, when it was found that the premises of Messrs. Bailey and Holden, provision mer chants, bacon and ham driers, and cheese factors, were in flames. The property in question was of vast extent, cot vering nearly half an acre of ground, in Allen .street, a street running into Goswell-street. A number of engines were soon on the spot, and a good supply of water was procured, but the brigade were unable to get the flames extinguished until one of the drying houses filled with ham and bacon was entirely destroyed and three others adjoining severely damaged by fire, water, &c. Some of the surrounding buildings were tUso much injured,
