The career of the redoubted Shenandoah has now come to a close, and another of the painful and per plexing problems which have presented themselves for the decision of neutrals during the American war has come under the consideration of our Go vernment. So far as matters have yet gone they have acted wisely and well, and will no doubt be supported by the great body of their countrymen in the course which they have thought it advisable and right to pursue. Captain WADDELL and his men have received an unconditional release, while the ship herself, with her valuable stores, has been handed over to the charge of the American Vice-Consul. It is likely enough that there will be plenty of criticism on this side of the Atlantic, as there will certainly be plenty of animadversions in America, but the solution which has been arrived is certainly the only just and constitutional one which an English Govern ment could pursue. Captain WADDELL came volun tarily into an English port and immediately reported himself to the English Minister, placing himself and his vessel at his disposal, and informing him at the same time that he had made no captures since he received news of the conclusion of peace. Upon these grounds there was nothing to authorise the detention of the officers and crew of the Shenandoah by the English Government. It is idle to talk of Capt. WADDELL as a pirate. Ilia acts were no more piracy than the invasion of th e S outh by Northern armies, and the reckless destruction of property consequent upon it was punishable by ordinary laws, however re pulsive it might be to the instincts of humanity. Each party endeavoured in the furtherance of its objects to inflict as much injury as it possibly could on the other. Had the Southern States possessed a navy and been able to send out me rc h ant ships the Northern States would not assuredly have spared them. Had the Southern armies marched through the Northern States, meeting as little opp o _ sition as SiaamAN encountered in Georgia, they 'Mould probably have left deadly traces of their 1 - 1 path behind them. Whatever be the Federal theory of the sin of treason, however the winning party may choose to stigmatise the united and long-continued efforts of several millions of independent and educated people as a mere rebellion against existing authority, we in Eng land cannot do otherwise than'regard both sides as belligerents. As such, both. are entitled to the laws of war both parties had when in active struggle— a right to fair and equal dealing. The Federals have conquered—they have achieVed an uncondi tional triumph, and, consequently, the prizes and the trophies of success are indisputably theirs. But the mere accident of success or failure cannot transform a soldier into a brigand, or a naval officer into a pirate ; and since Captain WADDELL has, on his part, fulfilled his part of the obligation by striking his colours when the news of peace actually reached him, we can have no excuse for detaining him in custody or interfering with the liberty of his crew. Had he continued the work of destruc tion knowingly in time of peace and reunion, he would certainly have sunk to the level of piracy ; but his previous course was fully in obedience to the laws of warfare, which have always authorised the capture and destruction of the enemy's property as an important means of crippling his resources. Undoubtedly the first object of any Power at war with England would be to waylay her richly freighted vessels, to attack :and injure her commerce in every possible way. American com merce offers a tempting prize to any foe, and accordingly it was a very natural consequence of the struggle that the Confederates should direct their attacks upon the merchant vessels of the enemy. The Federals, it must be remembered, acted upon precisely the same principle. They did not, indeed, send out ships to interfere with Southern commerce, for the very simple reason that they annihilated the commerce altogether. One of their first acts was to blockade the ports of the South, and this proved throughout the war one of their most powerful weapons. It is true that blockade running was carried on to a great extent ; it is true that the kind friends in Boston supplied the Con federates liberally, being by no means averse to make a little money out of the enemy, even though it were by helping instead of hindering him. But all these casual and extraneous supplies were as dust in the balance compared with the steady and constant stream of men, arms, and ammunition, to say nothing of the ordinary commercial products which flowed into the Northern ports. At theppening of the war the Confederates were almost without re sources, and had they displayed the same spirit and re sources in 1864 that they did in 1861-2 their fortunes might have been very different. But had it not been for the closing of the ports they would have been in a very different position in fighting the enemy from first to last. It was the natural course for them to pursue to commit what damage they could, to retaliate as far as possible on the North. It is quite impos sible for a really neutral power to regard the Confederate privateers as other than regular ser vants of an organised government, which, however brief in its existence, has had for four years a govern ment de facto ruling over a population to be num bered by millions. There is, therefore, no excuse or reason for treating the commander and crew of the Shenandoah as infringers of the international law, or still less as felons or traitors. At the worst, accepting the doctrine of rebellion, which no Eng lishman can reasonably do, if he upholds the coun ter doctrine of the rights of nationalities, Captain WADDELL is merely a political offender, and we are not in the habit of visiting on political offenders their sins against their own Governments. Neither do the Americans trouble themselves to capture all refractory Fenians; and, we presume, that if any of the heroes now under trial in the sister island were to escape across the Atlantic, they would find a very secure and comfortable asylum in Washington itself. The surrender of the ship is equally a matter of course with the liberation of the men. The spoils of war belong in any case to the conqueror, but the property on board the Shenandoah was originally the property of Northern owners, and has therefore a double obligation to be given into Northern hands. It is clearly our duty to surrender it to the repre sentative of the existing American Government, to whom, from henceforth, all communications on American matters, whether North or South, must be addressed. It is to be hoped that the American people will see the affair in this light, and that Mr. SEWARD will be satisfied with the surrender of the ship without introducing any angry controversy into the matter. Some Americans pretend that England favoured the Confederate privateers in order to pro fit by the consequent suspension of American com merce, as if any advantage English traders might have derived from such a source could have compen sated for the losses we suffered by the cotton famine ! Had England been actuated by merely selfish motives she would certainly have refused to recog nise the blockade, and have spared herself the Lan cashire distress and all its attendant evils. It is satisfactory that the Government has actedpromptly and decisively with regard to the Shenandoah and in full accordance with constitutional law, and we have no doubt that the general feeling of the public will be fully in accordance with the course adopted. The general news received from America by the Scotia is unimportant. The trial of DAVIS and the election of General WADE HAMPTON are both con tradicted. The rumour that Mr. CUSHING is to be despatched for England on a mission with re gard to the claims for the Alabama damages is still afloat, but there is no actual notice of it. Mr. SEWARD has directed all Federal officers to show liberal hospitality and cour tesy to the British nation, as all restrictions on American vessels in British ports have now been removed, so that we may hope that we are advanc ing towards a better state of feeling. The release of JOHN MITCHELL at the solicitation of the Fenian Congress is announced, and Mr. JOHNSON received a Fenian delegation who came to thank him for the favour. The President paid them an unnecessary compliment by saying he had done it " as a mark of respect" to a large body of his countrymen ! The Fenians are still actively at work, and the State Ceatro has declared tha.t numerousFenian privateers are being equipped at New York, and will shortly be afloat. This is passing into active mischief, and is something rather different from the building of unarmed boats for a recognised belligerent. Toronto papers assert that the Canadian Go vernment is organising a strong force to guard the frontier. This is quite as well, since it may guard against future trouble. The slavery question is becoming gradually settled ; and the latest news is that the Georgia Convention has unanimously passed an ordinance abolishing it for ever. It is far better and wiser to leave each State to deal in the same way with the suffrage question as it shall come before it than to attempt to coerce an unwilling people. Lord LYTTELTON made some very interesting re marks upon the Clubs of the Upper and the Working Classes. This subject has of late come prominently before the public, and engaged a considerable share of attention, though not more than its importance THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1865. deserves. Lord LYTTELTON adverted to the opinions recently expressed in some quarters respecting the desirability of those of high rank abstaining from all interference with these projects, and added that he never took any part in them except by the de sire of the parties concerned. A very general wish has been manifested for the counsel and assistance of the higher classes, and Mr. SOLLY, the Secretary of the Central Association, has stated that out of the 160 or 170 of the working men's clubs in England, only two had reserved the management in their own hands, and the others had either solicited the help of the upper classes or had accepted the offer of it. It stands to reason that many advantages accrue from the aid thus imparted, and that is also the great bene fit which arises from the mingling of classes. Such intercourse is always to be encouraged, and all that tends to refine and elevate the working classes must conduce to the interest of society and their own benefit. Lord LrrrELToN explained very clearly the reasons why those in an influential position in society might be of service to the classes who are forming or have formed these clubs. They possess two decided advantages in their larger acquaintance with the ways of the world and the fashion in which clubs are conducted, and also they have by education " better habits of method, and order, and of business, and manage ment, without which these clubs could not get on, than did those lower in the social scale." It will be a great pity if from a love of captious criticism, and a desire to interfere in an arbitrary fashion, any clique or set of individuals make ill advised remarks, and suggest difficulties where none exist in the way of the formation and progress of these Institutes. The Chancellor of the Exchequer declared the other day, in his speech at Glasgow, that the nineteenth century was the century of the working man, and this is strictly true, while it is an assurance full of promise ; but then the working classes cannot know by intuition how they are to proceed. Some help must be given to them in climbing the steep ascent, and there can be no more encouraging sight than to witness those possessed of superior advantages of birth and education en deavouring to benefit their fellow-men on whom the same blessings have not been bestowed. By the order of PROVIDENCE, some must always be placed in a higher position than others, and enjoy the good things which such a condition include, such as education, and culture, and refinement, in fact ; but much may be done to enliven the dull routine of those engaged in mechanical pursuits and monotonous occupations. All must have some time which is not engrossed by the demands of their daily toil, and it is to induce the working classes to think of something better and higher for their leisure hours than mere sensual pleasures that these undertakings are set on foot. They will be more inclined to en ter fully into the spirit which prompts the endea vour if some assistance is afforded by men quite independent of the affair, who cannot be supposed to have any selfish motive or individual project in making their proposals. The chances of dispute are greatly diminished by such a course being adopted, and the affair assumes greater dignity and impor tance in the eyes of all by the united influences and interests brought to bear upon it by the combina tion of forces. Lord LYTTELTON referred to the remark recently made by Lord BROUGHAM as to the true meaning of these clubs, that they were not to be considered as places of "direct mental improve ment and educational purposes ;" but the noble lord hardly considered this clause had been reported correctly. In pursuance of the theme, he adduced a very interesting and instructive comparison between the clubs of the upper and the wox king classes. The members of London clubs went there for recreation, and found their clubs a home in every respect except that they could not go to bed there. The question then arose, What was re creation ? The upper classes did not find it irksome to read newspapers or to peruse works of instruc tion and amusement. The working man, in many cases, found it unpleasant to do so, and the noble lord said he would not urge upon them the necessity for so doing, but he dwelt upon the chances that existed of the next generation being more inclined to engage in such employments. That politics nowa days is more a pleasure to " the majority of the upper, some of the middle, and a few of the lower classes," is correctly stated here, and no doubt, as general education progresses, the children of the working classes of to-day will, when they are grown up, take far more interest in those great questions which concern the welfare and happiness of the nations of the world, and are intimately associated with their own prospects and fortunes. As for the restrictions which have been put upon the clubs of the working classes, Lord LYTTELTON agreed that they might be necessary for the pre sent, and remarked that although nowadays such limitations were not desirable for the upper classes, yet if the London clubs had been established in the days of FIELDING it would have been most essential to have interposed great checks to the freedom which now distinguishes their course. " The higher classes had to be educated up to the point at which clubs were accepted." This the noble lord wisely considers to be a source of great encouragement to those of a humbler rank, who are following their wake, and should make them to tread the same ground, so that each in his separate vocation and peculiar calling may be a useful member of society, and an example to those of their brethren not so circumspect as themselves. Even as the higher classes of English society have improved and benefited greatly by the spread of education, so we may hope that an analogous improvement will take place among the lower. The concluding portion of this excellent discourse was directed to the real danger that exists in all clubs, namely, the likelihood of their drawing the members too much away from their homes. Lord LYTTELTON observed that it would be a lamentable thing if the working man ever looked to his club for the best influences of his life, or sought them in " any other direc tion apart from religion, home and family." It may be remarked, in considering this subject, that in most cases those who did not go to these clubs would resort to the public-house, or to the society of those who would lead him into mischief. The more a man's mind is trained and cultivated, the more he is likely to appreciate the influences of the domestic circle, and to realise the importance of preserving peace in his home, and seeking to pro mote the education of his family. In every way that is possible, it is to be trusted that the clubs among the working classes will be promoted and encouraged. They possess innumer able objects of importance and interest to recom mend them to notice and win approval. All that can be done to impart some other ideas to the mind than those connected with daily toil must be of ! service to those so tied down to hard or engrossing pursuits. It is not too much to say that these efforts now so strenuously made to elevate the working classes are more than the guides to educa tion and social improvements, for they are in some sort the ministers to virtue and the aids to religion. They are successful so far as they have progress e d at present, and are rich in the promise of a glorious ttarreA in the future. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. INSURRECTION IN JAMAICA. PRIGHTPUL.ATROCITIES OF THE BLACKS; (Per French steamer Caravelli.) KINGSTON, JAMAICA, Monday, Oct. 16, 1865. James Carson, Esq., Spinfield, Great Marlow. Dear Sir,—ln addressing you last occasion, I thought that I should not be so soon called on again to write. I was returning from the North side, having pur chased some cattle for Hopewell at Fort George, when, at about 11 p.m., at Golden Spring, I was met by Mr. Hammott, • the Overseer, or Manager, who handed me a letter from. St. Thomas in the East, stating that a fearful scene had taken place in Morant Bay. The people had broken out in the most diabolical and infamous rebellion that has ever disgraced a country or a people. A special Session had met in the Court-house, and the ma jority of the respectable inhabitants of the parish were present. This was the time chosen by the rebel leaders for the murderous outbreak, and accord ingly large numbers of people collected around the Court-house with every weapon of offence and defence they could muster, and created a noise and riot. Baron von. Ketelholdt read the Riot Act—and, the mob not dispersing, the volunteers fired a volley. This appeared to be a signal for a general outbreak, and with unearthly yells and shouts—tore round the Court-house, the now infuriated negroes ! The Custos, with magis trates and volunteers, retired into the Court-house, and the armed force kept up firing through the windows: Unfortunately ammunition was short, there being only two rounds each. On the shooting down of the people the mob separated, and during their absence Georges and a few others escaped from the Court-house, but were seen and pursued. The mob now augmented, and, more furious, surrounded the Court-house, and put the fire-stick to it in order to drive out or consume the people. Most of the inmates tried to make their escape by the door, but as each ap proached the entrance he was brutally butchered. by the ruffianly insurgents. The Baron was among the first to come out, and he was literally cut to pieces. His right hand was cut off joint by joint. His head was cleft in two. His brains were mixed with rum, and drank by his murder ers. His body, stripped of all save his socks, was left exposed in the street. Black Price, merely on account of his association with white people, was subjected to the most horrible and appalling indignities. After his body had been cut up with cutlasses, he was held on his feet while the women cut out his bowels and strewed them on the street. Parson Herschel had his tongue cut out before the poor man was dead. It is impossible for me to present to you an account of all these fright ful atrocities, or to tell you of all the poor fellows who have come to an untimely end by these merci less assassins. Georges escaped with two gunshot wounds in his leg. The insurgents took all the guns and ammunition from the murdered volunteers and police, and then with yelling impre cations and anathemas on the white man and his race, commenced the work of demolition - and de- struction. Morant Bay is ruined. • The following morning the insurgents pursued their course in two directions, gathering numbers in their cause as they went along. One party went up Blue Mountain Valley, murdering every white and brown man hey came across. All who could not escape met a terrible death. They also pro ceeded to Monklands, where they did much harm, but Mr. Paterson miraculously escaped. The troops went from Newcastle bf Green Valley to Arntully, and had anticipated further progress in that direction. They report the rebel force as numerous, but little news has reached us of how many they have been able to kill or capture. other portion of the mob took Port Morant and Plantain Garden river district, and fearful and heartrending accounts have reached us fram that quarter. Destruction and demolition have been made of all they came across. Many of the overseers and bookkeepers have escaped and come to Kingston, after having been several days in the bush. Many have escaped with wounds, and been brought to Kingston by steamer. Poor Hire, of Amity Hall, was brutally butchered, and his son's hands cut off before his face. Shortridge has escaped to King ston. The mob afterwards took in the direction of Manchionoal, where the Court House and church were burnt down, and the people buteher-ed. have only heard of two or three deaths in that quar ter, but 15 people in the River Di str i ct are still miss- [ng. It is supposed they have escaped through the woods. It was rumoured that they intended cominr , on to Albion (16 miles from Kingston), but as yet they have only reached Lloyds. Fifty soldiers aro quar tered at Easington, and all is quiet at Albion. The people, however, have not yet turned out to work. I have this morning sent up money to pay them. The overseer and book-keepers left the estate on Friday, but returned on Saturday morning. The people on Green Valley and Sheldon are at work and perfectly quiet, so are they at Constant Spring. All the rest of the island is tranquil, but great excitement prevails. In Kingston little or nothing has been done in business, and matters are in a curious state. By most people an outbreak is expected immediately, as the people are ripe for rebellion. If any riot does occur it will be taken a Ivantage of for a general rising, but I think peace and order will be main tained. We are all armed, and turned out yester day about 500 volunteers. We have 200 of the 6th at camp, and 100 of the Royal Artillery on the Parade. Reinforcements are sent for. There are only 900 men at present in the country. The frigate Wolverine has taken the Governor to Portland, she and the gunboat Onyx aro the only war vessels at present ; here, generally speaking, we have a dozen. If insubordination breaks out anywhere also, we have not a sailor or soldier to send to the place. I send you the papers on the subject, and will write fully by the mail. God only knows when confidence will be again restored. There is not a white man in St. Thomas ye East, or any one in charge of any of the estates. I feel confident of being able to send you better news by mail steamer. We shall be thrown consi derably out. Yours faithfully, Wm. J. JAMISON. (From the Times' Corre;pondent) LIVERPOOL, Saturday Morning. A letter received in Liverpool, dated Nassau, N.P., of the 23d October, states that the steamer Plantagenet sailed from that Port on the 23d for Jamaica with 250 soldiers, under Major Mcßean. Baron Von Kettichodt was one of the first vic tims of the blacks. A clergyman was cut into fragments. The most summary justice was being adminis tered by the authorities. All the English and black troops were engaged in the field, with the exception of one black com pany. At Port Royal the black troops were behaving splendidly. The Urgent had left for Barbadoes for the 3d Bale. NAPLES. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) NAPLES, Nov. 8 (Via Marseilles). Two hundred and seven cases of cholera have occurred here, eighty of which have proved fatal. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 9. The Viceroy of Egypt has undertaken to pay all the debts of the Fellahs of Upper Egypt, releasing them also from other burthens to which for many years they have been subjected. The Viceroy has decided that a railway shall be constructed between Cairo and Upper Egypt. It is officially stated that the insurrectionary movement in Soudan has been completely repressed. R 0 ME. ROME, Nov. 10. Cholera does not at present exist upon the Pon tifical territory. A very few cases have occurred at Corneto and Tascanello. FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 11. The Moniteur of this morning says :—The latest intelligence received from Mexico confirms the news that the entire province of Sonora had submitted to the Emperor Maximilian, and that Jaurez had definitively quitted the country. Letters from Rome to the Bth inst. assert that General Kauzler, the new Minister of War, had given instructions for the vigorous pursuits of brigand bands. A deputation of the principal inhabitants of Veroli had arrived at Rome to complain of the audacity of the brigands, and request protection from the Government. The Emperor yesterday presided over a sitting of the members of the Privy Council and of the Minis ters, united. The Princess Elisa Baciocchi, who has just re ceived the Emperor's visit, was born in Italy. She is the daughter of Felix Baciocchi, Prince of Lucca, and of the Princess Elisa Bonaparte. She was edu cated at the Court of the Emperor, her uncle, and married, in 1825, Count Camerata, one of the richest proprietors in the Marches of Ancona. Since that date, the Princess has successively resided, first in Illyria, and then in France on her own domains, of which she superintends the cultivation in person. The Duke de Mouchy, the future husband of the Princess Anna Murat, is a descendant of the second son of Marshal Duke de Noailies, who married a niece of Mme. de Maintenon. His father, who died in 1854, was formerly a peer of France, and subse quently a member of the Legislative Assembly. The elder branch of the family 'is represented by the Duke de Noailies and d'A gen, member of the Academy. The Duke de Mouchy is at the same time Prince de Poix, Grandee of Spain, and by birth a Grand Cross of the Order of Malta, a privilege of the descendants of the family of Arpajon possessed since the heroic co-operation of one of its members in the de fence of the order when attacked by the Turks. Having been born in 1841, he is a few months younger than the Princess. He is said to possess an income of 300,000 fr. a year, the greater part of which is in landed property. According to the Nord the Princess possesses a fortune of two millions, conferred on her by the Emperor three years back. The same journal adds that the wedding presents sent by the Prince have cost 600,000 fr. Marshal M'Mahon, Governor-General of Algeria, arrived at Marseilles the evening before last, on board the steam frigate Panama, and left imme diately for Paris. A - provincial journal relates the following attempt to poison, committed three evenings since at Chateau dun (Eure-et-Loire). Late in the evening a man named Deniau, accompanied by his lodger, one Demaret, aged 18, and by two soldiers of the garri son, one of whom was the orderly of a veterinary surgeon, went to Laverton's cafe in the Rue de Chartres and ordered a bottle of wine. When Deniau was about to drink he perceived that the liquor was thick and had a strange smell ; thinking that he was the object of a practical joke, he blamed the landlord for offering him such a beverage. The latter immediately took possession of Denian's glass, locked the outer door, and declared that none of the party should leave the house until the affair was cleared up. He accordingly sent for a police officer, who searched Demaret and the two soldiers, but found nothing suspicious on them. Demaret, however, confessed that he had put some jalap in the wine to play a trick on Deniau. This explana tion did not satisfy the police-officer, and he carried the wine to a chemist, who declared that the glass contained enough laudanum to poison two or three persons. It appears that Demaret, who had an intrigue with Deniau's wife, had, at her instigation, procured the laudanum from the veterinary sur geon's orderly under pretext that he wanted it for himself as he could not sleep at night.

MExico, Oct. 10. Upon the 3d inst. the Emperor Maximilian ad dressed a proclamation to the Mexican people, and promulgated a decree intended to put an end to the troubles still agitating some of the provinces. The following is the text of the proclamation ; " Mexicans,—The cause sustained with so much valour and constancy by Don Benito Juarez had already succumbed, not only before the national will, but before the law itself, which that chief in.. WAYS. Cash. yoked in support of his claims. Th s eause,:having now degenerated into faction, has been abandoned by the fact of its chief's departure from the country. " The national Government has been long in dulgent, and has lavished acts of clemency to leave to men who had gone astray —not knowing the position of affairs —the possibility of uniting them selves to the majority of the nation and of entering upon the path of duty. It has obtained the desired result. Honourable men have gathered around its flag, and have accepted the just and liberal prin ciples which guide its policy. Disorder is no longer kept up save:by a few chiefs,:led astray by passions, without patriotism, by demoralised persons unable to rise to the height of political principles, and by an unbridled soldiery which always remains the last sad vestige of civil wars. " Henceforth the struggle will be between the honourable men of the nation and the bands of bri gands and malefactors. The time of indulgence is past ; it will no longer be shown to the despotism of the banditti, to those who burn villages, rob, and assassinate peaceful citizens, helpless old men, and undefended women. " Strong in its power the Government will hence ' forth be inflexible in chastisement, as well as in requiring the rights of civilisation, respect for humanity, and the requirements of morality. (Signed) MAXIMILIAN." The decree accompanying the proclamation is of a very stringent character. It ordains that in future all persons found in arms against the Go vernment shall be:tried by court-martial, and, if found guilty, executed within 24 hours. The same tribunal shall decide what punishment shall be in flicted upon those who assist guerrilleros with money, advice, arms, provisions, &c., or who harbour or receive them into their houses, upon persons spreading false reports calculated to disturb public tranquillity, and upon landowners who do not give the earliest possible notice to the authorities of the presence of a band upon their properties. Provision is made for imprisonment or fine being substituted for the capi tal penalty in cases of minor culpability. The de cree further orders that all inhabitants between 18 and 55, not being physically' incapable, shall be bound, upon pain of fine or imprisonment, to take up arms in support of the authorities against guer rilleros. An amnesty is proclaimed to all persons in arms against the Government or public order who shall apply for pardon before the 15th Nov. The decree is signed by the Emperor, and counter signed by all the Ministers. RUSSIA. The lnvalide Russe publishes the text of a sen tence of death delivered against Lieut. Czerniak of the Odessa regiment of infantry. That officer, who is of Polish origin, had been declared guilty by a court martial :-1. Of having been one of the prin cipal movers of the rising projected at Razan in 1863. 2. Of having abruptly left the service and proceeded to Wilna while that country was in a state of open insurrection. 3. Of having com manded a detachment of insurgents in the district of Troki (government of Wilna) and fought against the Russian troops. Consequently Lieut. Czerniak was condemned to the loss of his military rank and civil rights, and to be shot. This sentence was car ried into effect at Razan on the morning of the 23d October. ITALY. The Military Tribunal of Salerno (South Italy) has just been engaged 11 days in trying 12 inhabi tants of the small town of Campagna, close by, on a charge of having organised an armed band for the purpose of obtaining money by threats, violence, and sequestration of persons. The accused were--Baron Perrotta, an expectant sub-prefect, who has hitherto succeeded in baffling the efforts of the police to arrest him; G. B. Rocco, a captain of the National Guard; T. Edelizze, an officer of the mobilised National Guard ; Cozzi, and three men named Castagna, all landowners ; Cubiciotti, a physician ; N. Perrotta, a priest ; Giordano, a goatherd; and another Rocco, a farm labourer. The more wealthy of the accused had formed a kind of joint-stock company for the purpose of supporting brigandage and dividing its profits ; the others were merely their agents. Among the brigands maintained by this band was Ciardullo, one of whose last exploits was the capture of Mr. Moens, who had to pay so heavy a ransom for his liberation. Since then Ciardullo has surrendered himself prisoner, and is to be tried for his numerous crimes ; but he was nevertheless admitted as one of the principal witnesses against the accused. He is a good-looking man of about 28 years of age, and gave his evidence with extreme volubility, but avoided all allusion to his own personal offences. He stated that in the winter of 1861 the gentlemen (signori) of Campagna proposed that he should organise a band of brigands to take advantage of the confusion which would be sure to arise in a revolution, which they considered imminent, and they advanced him 5,000 ducats (21,250 fr.) in gold, for the purpose of engaging men. As the time was unfavourable for forming a band he returned the money to them ; but received it again some time later, and organised his band, which commenced its operations, and continued them for nearly four years, during which time he always gave his principals their full share of the proceeds. The goatherd and the labourer acted as messengers between him and the other accused ; but he occasionally had interviews with them when important business had to be transacted. Several of Ciardullo's victims also gave evidence ; among them was Comella, whose ears had been cut off by Ciardullo's orders, but he was afterwards released on paying a ransom of 8,000 ducats; and Giannattanasio, who, after losing one ear, paid 12,000 ducats for his liberty. After hearing counsel for the prosecution and the defence, the tribunal acquitted seven of the ac cused, against whom the evidence was inconclusive, but found the other five guilty. • Baron Perrotta and Captain Rocco were each condemned to 20 years' hard labour ; Dr Cubiciotti to 15 years and the goatherd and. labourer each to 10 years o. the same punishment. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE BORUSSIA. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 11. The Hamburg and American Company's steamer Borussia, from New York, on the Bth ult. has arrived. She brings 21 passengers for this port, and 113 for Hamburg, and a large cargo, including $216,801 for England, and $215,500 for France. Her news has been anticipated. Shipwreck on the Norfolk Coast. CAISTER, NORFOLK, Nov. 9. A signal of distress having been seen from the Cockle Light Ship, during squally weather last evening (says the Rev. G. W. Steward), and a ves sel having been. observed to miss stays near the Cockle sand, the Caister new lifeboat of the Na- tional Lifeboat Institution was launched. The vessel having shown a light soon after the firing of the signal gun, the lifeboat made for her and found that she had struck the sand, but found that she had fortunately been driven over it. She broke one anchor chain, but let go her second anchor which kept her from the breakers on the shore until the lifeboat reached her. The lifeboat men were em ployed to clear the vessel of the sands, and get her into Yarmouth Roads, where they arrived about 8 o'clock this morning. The vessel proved to be the brig Raven, of London, bound from Yarmouth to Seaham in ballast. She had on board the cap tain, his wife, and a crew of eight men. A. Cunious BULL.—A few days since the officials in one of our public departments were almost con vulsed with laughter, when, after a protracted absence, the porter, who had been despatched by the principal to bring his brougham to the door, was observed in the atti tude of a guardsman shouldering a " broom." On being interrogated as to the strange manner in which ho com plied with the order the poor man appeared quite bewil dered, and said be thought such were the directions given him, not ever having heard a carriage called by that name. —Limerick , Southern Chronicle, HER MAJESTY• The Prince and Princess of Wales' SANDRINGHAM, Friday Yesterday being th e P r i nce of Wales ' s birthday' all the children belonging to Dersingham, San g. ham, Wolferton, and West Newton schools regaled with a substantial dinner, their B e t h Highnesses the Prinee and Princess of Wales' ~ve Crown Prince an d P r i ncess of Pruss i a, the v''' g of Cambridge, a n d th e res t o f the v i s it or s berg present.
