T.14..g,g11N, LONDON, MONDAY E f iriiiN I NG, SEPTEMBER 3 18 Sir Charles Napier has given publicity to the fol lowing letters, apparently a selection from his cor respondence with the late First Lord of the Adini ralty. The letters of Sir James Graham were narked "private." We print them as we find them, without expressing an opinion as to the pro priety of first making them public. No. 1. SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR CHARLES 'NAPIER. _ _ Admiralty, Oct. 17, 1854 [Recd. 22d.] My dear Sir Charles—You refer to my letters at the end of August, as contemplating then the early termina tion of active operations in the Baltic for this year. I was not prepared, even at that time, for the imme diate departure of the F renc h arm y a fter the capture of . Bomarsund ; and I pointed out to you, Abo, Sweaborg, and Revel as points which, with military aid, were opera to attack. Much le ss was I p re pared for the with drawal of the F renc h squa d ron f r om the combined naval operations almost simultaneously with the departure of the army, so soon as Bomarsund had been destroyed. These decisions were taken on the spot, I believe, with your consent, but without any reference to the English Government. But in August we had not seen the report of General Jones on Sweaborg, which you forwarded to us from Ledsund on the 29th of August, and which was in your hands before either the French army or the French fleet had left the Aland Islands. That report is entitled to respect. It made a great im pression here, and raised a strong presumption that with the aid of the military force then present with the fleet, in seven or eight days the works at Sweaborg might be destroyed, and that the month of September afforded ample time for the operation. On the sth of September you sent us the observations of General Baraguay d'Hilliers and of General Niel on the report of General Jones. General Baraguay d'Billiers says expressly, after hay himself, together with General ing reconnoitred Sweaborg Niel :—" We partake of the opinion of Gen. Jones. Sweaborg may be attacked and taken by the fleets, if they think fit to make on that fortress a serious attack." General Niel went further, and said that, without any military co - operation, 8 or 10 sail of the line could lay the works in ruins in two hours, by a bombardment near at hand, on the sea front, where the works are weakest ; and he intimated very distinctly an opinion that the attack ought to be made. In the face of these reports, and within a week after re ceiving, them, the intelligence that the French army and French fleet had left you, without a shot being fired except at Bomarsund, was both a surprise and a disap pointment. Then came your own second reconnaissance of Swea borg, and a plan of naval attack, which you considered practicable. We were anxious, if the French and Eng lish forces could be reunited, that it should have been tried even this year before the immense fleet which had been assembled retreated from the Baltic ; but our own sailing ships hating gone to Kiel, and the French squadron being on its way home, the opportunity was lost, and nothing now remains to be done but gradually to withdraw the line-of-battle-ships ' and to await th e moment when ice shall enc l ose th e Russian fleet within the Gulf of Finland for the winter. No doubt, at the time of the equinox, there are heavy gales of wind in the Baltic ; it is a narrow sea, and there is danger to large ships in maintaining the blockade, even when at anchor. But war is not conducted with out risks and dangers ; and prudence consists in weigh ing, and firmness in encountering them ; and nothing great by sea or land can be achieved without consider able peril, as your own experience and example have demonstrated. We await the next report of your movements, before we send you further orders. I am, yours sincerely, J. G. GRAHAM. His Excellency Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. No. 2. SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S REPLY TO THE ABOVE. Kiel, Oct. 27. My dear Sir James—So far back as August 29 I announced to you the intention of the French General to withdraw his troops. I agreed with the French Gene ral and Admiral that Sweaborg could not be attacked at this season of the year, and I have no hesitation in say ing, had we moved the troops and ships up to Miolo Roads, and landed 5,000 men, we should not have brought off one man, and how many ships we would have lost I cannot say. After the capture add destruction of Bomarsund till I left Nargen there have not been three days fit for ope rations that required seven or eight, and then the ships and transports must have lain amongst the rocks and shoals of Miolo Roads—a position that might have done for a general, but certainly not for an admiral. Shortly after the troops sailed I communicated to you that the French admiral had received orders to go to Cherbourg, that they were dated the 39th of August ; so that the decision was not taken on the spot, as you suppose. General Jones's report made no change what ever in our opinions. You say the French generals partook of General Jones's opinions ; then why did he not carry them out ? Surely, Sir James, you could not have read them ; they are quite opposite. The French generals thought the fleet could knock down Sweaborg iu two hours. General Jones required a combined movement, which would re quire seven or eight days. The French general, in his letter to me, says :—"Nous partageons l'opinion de M. le General Jones, Sweaborg peut etre attaque et pro; par les flottes si alles veulent faire contre cette fortresse une attaque seriuse." You will find no such thing in General Jones's report. The French general mast have meant Gen. Niel's report. The opinion General Niel gave, in writing, after he landed, he certainly did not give to the admiral on the spot; and the mole I think, the more I am satisfied that such an attack would end in a signal failure —even if we succeeded in knocking down the sea face the work would be only begun. You say, Sir James, that General Niel intimated very distinctly that the attack ought to be made ; your board and you, Sir James, do not agree on that point ; in their letter to me they say, " But General Niel at the same time remarks that so bold an operation has not, to his knowledge, been yet attempted by ships against forts, and that it is not his province to advise it." And they desired me to confer with Admiral Parseval, and ascer tain whether he was willing to join in a naval attack. And if it appears both to ynu and to him an attempt too rash, you are to cause this joint opinion to be re corded ; but if one agrees and the other does not, the Admirals present shall be called and their advice and opinion taken." This was done—the French Admiral declined attend ing the conference, as he had before given an opinion against attacking Sweaborg, and the English Admirals, after having read (General Niel's) report, said they had no reason to change the opinion they had already given, and iii which Admiral Martin concurred. The truth the troops came too late—too many for Bomarsund, and too few for Sweaborg. The cholera got amongst them. General Jones made a proposal which the generals de clined acting on. The people in England were dissatis fied, and as some one must be blamed, the Government want to throw it on me, but I will not accept it I ask you, Sir James, to examine the chart of Swea borg, and ask yourself, if any man in his senses, at this season of the year, would anchor his ships in Miolo Roads, and commence operations that would require seven or eight days to finish, which was General Jones's proposal ; and I ask you whether any admiral would attack Sweaborg with his ships alone, contrary to his own judgment, and the opinion of the admirals whom he was ordered to consult, because an engineer thought it could be done ? You were angry with me when I made use of the word " mad," but, on my conscience, I believe it the only word applicable to such an operation. You say General Jones's report made a great impres• sion. I have no doubt it did ;it is very easy to make a report. General Jones knew that the French general would not land a man—we all knew it : and lam quite certain, after the continuation of had weather General Jones saw on board the Duke of Wellington, he himself would not have landed a man. Had people considered one moment, they would have seen the impracticability of the attempt ; but they thought Sebastopol was taken, and I must take Sweaborg, Revel, and Cronstadt. After the French generals had reconnoitred Sweaborg, I examined it again, and sent home my opinion as t how it ought to be attacked—by ships, batteries, gun boats, mortar.boate, &c.—at great length ; and the Ad miralty, as if anxious to get up a case against me, take it into their heads that I meant to attack it with the fleet alone, and were going to send back the French squadron and Admiral Plumridge's ships, and though I have remonstrated, they persist in still thinking so, and ycu, Sir James, seem to have fallen into the same error. You say, "then came your own second reconnaissance, and a plan of naval attack, which you considered prac ticable." TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. Had I seen the smallest chance of success, I should have attacked without the French, but I did not ; and surely my opinion is worth more than a general of engi veers, but the Admiralty seem to think different. The general talked of destroying Sweaborg in two hours. It is much more likely the ships would have been set fire to by red-hot shot and shells, and some of them on shore by that time. Be assured it is a most difficult place to at tack, and whoever does it will have a hard nut to crack. No admiral has, as yet, ventured to attack such a fort ress, defended as it is by art and nature. The sunken rocks alone, combined with the smoke from the guns and steamers, is no bad defence. You observed, Sir James, that the month of Septem ber gave ample time for the operation. All the month of September it wag blowing a gale of wind, and it was all that Captain Watson could do to keep his station. I did not wonder at the people of England expecting impossi bilities, but lam surprised at the Government counte nancing them at my cost. lam glad the French ships did not come back. The Admiral had already given his decided opinion that it was not practicable, and it was with that conviction that I decided on complying with your wishes, in sending away the sailing ships, which the Admiralty disap proved of. I do not wonder at your surprise and disappointment when you heard the French fleet and army had returned —the Government ought to have informed you of it. I always warned you, even before the arrival of the troops, that nothing more than Bomarsund could be d one. They came me too late, and I thi n k they were fortunat e i n getting safe ; it is more than I expected. lam quite aware that the Baltic is a dangerous sea, end that even blockading at anchor at this season is clan geroue ; and I know that war is not conducted without risks and dangers, and I am as ready to encounter them as any man, but I will not be driven by clamour to act C)ntrary to my own judgment. All summer, Sir James, you were cautioning me, and so were the Government, not to risk my ships against stone walls, for which you h a d a great respect, and SIR CHARLES NAPIER AND SIR JAMES praising me for the manner I had conducted th e fl ee t : GRAHAM. now winter is come, you are dissatisfied at my no t d oing . impossibilities ; and as the people are not satisfied, the Government are preparing to abandon me, because I will not follow the advice of a general, contrary to that of my own admirals, hn , d diamet r i ca ll y opposite to the opinion of the French General of Engineers, and attack a fortress at a season of the year when it is more than probable I should have lust half my fleet. I have gone into this explanation at great length ; it has given me much pain. I am conscious of having done m y duty, and if you are di ssa ti s fi ed you can bring me to a court-martial, or remove me, as I before mentioned to the Admiralty. I am very far from well, and I assure you this corre spondence has not improved my health, and I am suffer ing much from cold.—l remain, dear sir, yours v er y truly, CELLS. NAPIRR. The Right Hon. Sir James Graham, Bart., G.C.8., Admiralty. The following is the rejoinder which the ex-Lord of the Admiralty sent to the letter of Sir Charles : No. 3. SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR CHARLES NAPIER. My dear Admiral,--I am very unwilling to be in volved in a written controversy with you, but you have brought it on yourself, by your report of the 25th of September, afteryour second reconnaissance of Sweaborg. That report appeared to me to be entirely at variance with the opinions previously expressed by you, and I certainly understood you then to say, that if you had mortars, rockets, and Lancaster guns, you considered Sweaborg assailable by sea. In May you declared it to be unassailable, by sea or land, and the Admiralty did not send to you the appliances which, in September, you declared to be wanting, because they believed, from your account, they would be useless against a place which in the first instance you pronounced to be impregnable. I could not bring myself to believe that the want of Lan caster guns, or even of mortars, rendered a sea attack, on your plan of the 25th of September, impossible, if you had 25 sail of the line re-assembled before the place, with all their means of vertical fire. I am sincerelysorry to hear that you are unwell. I hope that Kiel Harbour and milder air will restore you to health.—l am, yours very truly, J. G. GRAHAM. His Excellency Sir C. Napier, K.C.8., &c. No. 4. SIR CHARLES NAPIER TO BIR JAMES GRAHAM. Duke of Wellington, Kiel, Nov. 6, 1854. I can assure you, Sir James, it is far from my wish to enter into a controversy with you, but I will not admit that I have brought it on myself ; there is not a word in either my public or private letters that justifies the con struction that you, and the Admiralty have thought proper to put on them. My letter in answer to their lordships' last despatch is plain enough ; but if their lordships think proper to deliberate on one part of my letter, and ignore another part, I can only protest against it ; and I am quite prepared to defend myself against any unjust attacks that are made against me. I have documents enough in my possession to justify my conduct. Enough has not been done to satisfy an impa tient public as you called them—some one must be blamed, and I am the chosen one ; but I will not allow myself to be crushed because I could not du impossibili ties. All this stir has been caused by the reports of two en gineers (one French and the other English), diametrically opposed to each other ; in addition to which was the re- pert of the capture of Sebastopol, not yet taken, though the fleet there is assisted by an army of 70,000 men, in a fine climate ; and I have been expected to take places much stronger with a fleet alone ; and the same people, who so often warned me against unnecessarily risking my fleet, are now dissatisfied because I did not expose them to certain destruction. I presume you have seen Captain Sullivan by this time ; he is capable of opening the eyes of the Govern ment, if they are not hermetically sealed. I have gone through the world with honour and credit to myself, and just as I am about to leave it unworthy attempts are being made to ruin my reputation, but they will fail and recoil on themselves.—l remain, yours very truly, CHARLES N. The Right Ho n . Si r J ames G ra h am, Bart., G.C,B API ~R Admiralty. (Front the Despatch.) My Lord,—You are a fallen man. I write this with no feeling of exultation or of insult. Nor do I say it either with any affectation of condolence. I give you credit for an innate sense of greatness and desert which would render both inappropriate. Still the fact is indis putable, that in the estimation of almost the whole poli tical world, and it may be presumed in your own estima tion also, you are a fallen man. You have led the House of Commons, you have led the Liberal party, and now you lead nobody. All power, save that which is inhe rent, has passed from your hands. You have known what it is to be the head of Administrations which ruled this mighty empire ; you have been the representative of a Government which needed your support as its repre sentative; you have stood for Great Britain in the Congres sional Assembly of the plenipotentiaries of the great states of Europe, and now youare nobody, you arenothing. Dur ing the latter days ofthe Parliamentary session just closed, you sat obscure on the back benches, between Brotherton and Wilkinson, far behind that row of potentialities of whom you were once the centre and the chief. In a divi sion you walked alone the length of the lobby, no one presiding near to exchange a half-whisper, or eager to catch a smile or nod of recognition. Your vote counted for one, and that was all. You are a fallen man, my lord; and who reckons, in a new Parliament, on having even to refer to the speech of " the noble lord, the member for the City of London ?" You have purchased an estate near Stroud, they say ; it being implied in the gossip, true or false, that your majority, even in that convenient borough, may not be the less secure for a little influence from a neighbouring property. Party in Parliament you have none ; party in the country you have none either. The press ignores you. From public meetings you have neither praise nor reprobation ; your name excites nei ther storms of hisses nor thunders of applause. You are a fallen man. Have you any hope of a glorious re surrection ? I fear you may, and that fear it is which induces me to indite this epistle. Party principles, party morality, and party tactics, are strong in you, bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh, intus et in cute ; and therefore it is that I fear you may yet try another fall with Palmer. ston, may yet aim at tripping up the heels of another Government, may yet speculate upon new combinations, and may eagerly watch some opportune moment for rearing on high your torn banner in the hope of its be ing rallied round by a majority. If so, my lord, I warn you that discreditable will be your success and brief your triumph. What trickery achieves trickery can defeat. You will only prepare for your political career a melan choly and disastrous close. You will be worsted by your own arts. You will invite defeat, and deepen defeat into disgrace. Alienated from the country in what the country has most at heart—driven from the only possible Ministry by which that country's first wish for the vigor ous and unrelenting prosecution of this war with Russia can be reasonably anticipated —your only means for Par liamentary rnanceuvering would be contingent upon the co-operation of some portion of those various Peace-and. Russian factions which the nation holds, according t . their various degrees, in deep suspicion or in direct abhorrence. Although a combination might be effected for a specific and destructive purpose, you could not but. be false to them, they would assuredly be false to you, both would be false to the nation's intense desires and purposes, and speedy dissolution would come upon the frail edifice by the beating of the winds and waves of popular indignation. You would then find "in the lowest deep a lower still," and become, in a stronger, a more irretrievable, an 1 a more absolutely final sense, a fallen man. And yet, my lord, what need for this ? No need at all, save the thirst and quenchless craving for official power and dignity. And are they the only power and dignity ? Are they the highest power and dignity, even in public and in Parliamentary life ? If such be your thought, and there are not wanting reasons to make your best friends and admirers apprehensive lest it possibly may be so, look at the example of one whom I may c ill in some respects your great predecessor, Sir R. Peel. He, too, fell from official power. He was driven from place amid shout and execrations far more bitter than any by which you have been assailed. He had violated the conventional precepts of party morality and honour to a much greater extent than is chargeable upon your self. He was pursued by a pelting prosecution that beat far more pitilessly upon his head than any storm which has ever burst upon yours. And what was his course ? Did he manoeuvre with either friends or foes for the dis placement of his successors, or for his own return to office? Did he in any way aim at tripping up one set of men, or embarrassing another ? Did he ever come into the field of discussion to sow therein the seeds of dissension and difficulty ? No ; he took a more manly, honourable, and patriotic course. He fell back gracefully into the position of an independent member of Parlia ment. He appeared there as one between whom and office there had passed a final and irrevocable se paration. Leading the house, or leading a party, be came, as to him, nonentities, impossible imaginings. And how did this utter abnegation of official power, in his case, act ? It invested him with the highest degree of personal and moral power. He had no need of official influence, he became endowed with a mightier influence. He was is himself a power, and more than a party. The premature close of his life prevented the full develop ment of the grand career be was pursuing; we can only appreciate it by remarking the lofty position on which he already stood, and the yet loftier to which he was naturally and without effort ascending, and by thus rea coning upon obvious tendencies, arrive at a just concep tion of the truth. He had made a wise and patriotic choice, and he was fairly winning for himself a degree of power and influence before which leaders of Whigs and of Tories paled into insignificance. What would have been achieved by that course, of glory for himself, and of good for the country, is unhappily left for inference and reasonable conjecture ; but there can be no doubt that it would have been something far beyond all that is to be gained by the closest party ties or the highest official authority. Is there any need, my lord, that I should point the moral of my tale ? Has not your own mind and that of my readers forestalled the application ? Or must I add, in plain terms, "Go thou, and do like wise ?" Be all th a t Sir Robert Peel might have been had his life been prolonged. Renounce office and rise into moral influence. Give over shuffling the cards for the prize of place, and play the nobler game of islets pendent patriotism. Cease aspiring to the leadership of the house, and become the over-ruling and inspiring spirit of the Legislature. I will not leave my counsel in generalities. Let us come to particulars. As an independent member, un fettered by Government and unentangled by party, you have not only the opportunity of interposing on the various questions which come before the house, with a high degree of authority and influence, but there are va rious matters which you can very advantageously origi nate. The change in your position leaves you :t liberty again to introduce your Reform Bill. Your hands are no longer tied by timid colleagues. You are not now fettered by your followers. You owe, now, no deference to opponents. The cant about the inoppor tune season of a time of war you can afford to despise. Unoccupied by the cares and details of office you can devote the vast resources of your mind to the elucida tion of that excellent plan which I do not hesitate to characterise as the best scheme of Parliamentary Reform yet submitted to the house with any chance of actual success. It will be easy for you to tear to atoms and scatter to the winds those selfish and local objections of the Manchester school which had so prejudical an effect on the first presentation of your plan. It has only to be distinctly understood by the people to gain acceptance with the people. You must make it under stood. You must expose the contemptible perversion of the phrase " Representation of a minority." You must show what your plan would really do ; how it would add from one to two millions to the constituency, and abolish sixty sham representations. You must enforce the great fact that the means by which this was proposed to be accomplished con-ti toted the measure a real and bona fide extension of the principle of representation. Little or nothing of all this was done on the former occasion. Perversion was unre buked. Ignorance went uncorrected. The bill sunk under the pelting of Manchester mud. As an unofficial and free man you can put forth your strength in its advocacy. Ones fairly set before the people, they will back you with intelligence and zeal rising to enthusiasm. The desire for Army Reform and for Administrative Reform are favourable concurrent circumstances. For neither is there the slightest chance of attainment, save through the preliminary of reform in Parliament. Here, then, my lord, is a noble work before you. It is one to which your position calls you. As an official man, you could not make the attempt. Yet the times and circumstances in vite you to it. By no other can it be undertaken. Upon you especially it devolves. And it is worthy of you, and offers that historical association with your name which must needs be the object of your highest ambition. Nor is this the only way in which you may emulate and surpass the example of Sir Robert Peel. The present state of the education question affords you another and a fine opportunity. We all know you have that question strongly at heart. And what is its present position ? Three competing bills were last session before the house. The opposing theorists have all matured their schemes, and have all come to a dead lock. By their divisions some ten or a dozen impracticable voluntaries triumph over them all. Yet a most liberal scheme (that of Sir John Pakington) has been propounded from the anti- Liberal side of the house. There is every sympton that the subject is ripe, if properly taken in hand, for amalga• mation, mutual concession, and satisfactory settlement. Who so fit to undertake this great work as yourself ? Not, indeed, on the basis of your last year's hurried and imperfect measure, which seemed only to be pitched into the house, incomplete and unformed, for the sake of not being behind in a race with Sir John Pakingto❑ ; but on the full and mature consideration of the various plans which have been produced, and which present ample materials for the formation of a truly national measure. The public would welcome such a gift from your hands. You would be supported by all the intelligent and true-hearted educationists. As an inde pendent member, you need not slavishly consult the Church ; and that is more than can be said by any Mi nister—more, indeed, than can be said of any aspirant to the possession of high Ministerial office. They must cringe to the mitre, and sacrifice much of the interest of public instruction to its jealous demands. You, in your independence and your consequent moral influence, can afford to dispense with such servility. You can look straightforward to the object. And I cannot persuade myself that, thus pursued, its attainment is beyond your grasp. Is it possible, my lord, that your feelings and hopes should be dead to prospects such as these ? Is there ought to compare with them in the aims of that poorer and lower ambition which the trappings of office can gratify. Other topics arise before the mind—such as the extinc tion of intolerance by conceding their civil rights to the Jews, and other kindred measures of religious liberty, on which I will not enlarge. Enough has been said to show that there is yet a wide and noble sphere for the exercise of your powers and the completion of your fame, provided only you will consent to occupy that sphere as an independent man, and not as an aspirant for renewed office-holding. Make these questions the means of par tisan tacties for that purpose, and your power will van ish. You will sink in the trickster, competing with other, and perchance abler or luckier trick-ters. You must have done with shows and shams. You must de spise objects after which you have been too greedy. You must be content with what, after all, is the really truest greatness. Then, my Lord, may we anticipate for you a brilliant future, the more brilliant for the pre sent temporary eclipse, and the worthy consumma tion of an honourable and useful life. But fall back again upon your old manoeuvres, and ontcan only expect that you will sink yet lower—that you' will incur dis graceful failures, or gain seeming successes not less dis graceful—that you will tarnish whatever has been most illustrious in your career, and that, after a few fitfu glimmerings in the socket, you will go out in a snuff. P ÜBLICOLA. ITALIAN MOVEMENTS AND PROSPECTS. ( From the Economist.) The state of Italy is very disquieting. There are several indications of approaching difficulties, if not actual disturbances. The continuance of the war, though as vet confined to the East, has not unnaturally excited a vivid and general sensation. No one believes that the present condition of that wretched land can be per manent ; and therefore every political movement arouses at once the hopes of the oppressed and the fears of the oppressors. The spirited behaviour of Piedmont, in gallantly joining the Western Powers ; the recruiting for an Anglo-Italian legion ; the attempt of Austria to throw dust in the eyes of Europe and to offer a sip to her own subjects by the proposed revival of those miserable mockeries of representative institu t:ons, the Lombardo-Venetian Central Congregations ; and the stupid and brutal proceedings of- the King of Naples and his police—whom alarm seems to have driven actually frantic—are all so many significant symp toms of coming change. It would be hard indeed if the present European struggle should pass over without bringing some good to that oppressed peninsula. It is not only wild patriots and chimerical republicans who now grieve over Italian sorrows, and grow indignant at Italian wrongs ; conser vatives, as well as liberals of every grade, are beginning to feel and to stvow that there are excesses of despotism that cannot be borne, and cruelties so brutal and de griviing that neighbouring nations, more advanced in civilisation, ought not to stand tamely by and see them perpetrated without protest. It is beginning to be admitted, even among the ruling &asses of better lands, that there are tyrannies which justify rebellion, and monarchs so bad that brother potentates must not stain their characters by endeavouring or even wishing to uphold them. It is felt, too, that the sway of Russia —which we are in arms to restrain— is not more bar barking or benumbing than the sway of A ustria at Milan, or of the Pope at Rome, or of King Ferdinand at Naples —to which hitherto we have afforded at least counte nance or aid. It is felt, finally, that the condition of the Christian subjects of the Ottoman Porte, which the Allie-1 Powers have in a manner pledged themselves to ameliorate, is in no degree more suffering, or enslaved than that of the Protestants of Tuscany or the moderate and constitutional liberals of Lombardy, Naples, or Ro magne. There is nothing stew in these circumstances— scarcely any aggravated feature : what is new is the higher and more conservative class of politicians; here and elsewhere, who have opened their eyes to the facts, and are slowly admitting the inferences to be drawn from them. Moreover, the conduct of Piedmont both in govern. ment and war, is gradually creating in the minds of our more timid liberal and suspicious tories a juster ap preciation of the manly and slid qualities of the Italian character. Till 1848, the foolish, ill-contrivf d, and abor tive attempts of the various insurgent bodies in that country ' • their inability t o ma k e any head against the smallest bodies of regular troops, or to organise their own raw levies; their hasty explosions, followed by surren ders as hasty and yet more disreputable, bad worn eta popular sympathyand discredited the whole people. But the movements of that great revolutionary year caused in all close observers a marked revulsion of opinion. The rapid and signal successes of the first Milanese outbreak, when in 5 days they drove every Austrian out of Lombardy or confined them within a few citadels and fortresses, showed energy where it was least suspected ; while the gallant defences of Rome and Venice, and still more the admirable internal government of those cities during the republican regime, gave evidence both of fight ing and organising talent 'are enough in any land, and wholly unexpected there. Never, it is now admitted, was there more perfect self-government or less crime and disorder in any state than in Venice during the dictator ship of Mania, and in Rome under the triumvirate of which Mazzini was the chief. But these spirited and well-conducted experiments fell beneath overwhelming foreign forces, and the proofs of capacity and worth they gave might have been forgotten or denied, had not the Sardinian government survived to show by indisputable evidence, what Italians when left to themselves can do. Starting in the spring of 1848 with a judicious constitu this granted by the King, passing through the peri lous crisis of a war forced upon them partly by the ex treme democrats at home, partly by the general excite ment around them, the Piedmontese, by the most ad mirable and even dexterous management, have steered their young vessel safely through all imaginable dangers during seven eventful years. Yet these dangers have been of the most imminent and deadly nature. The Pied montese liberals had no experience in the management of constitutional forms—a problem which we know, from the failure of other nations, to be of the most difficult solution ; yet they have managed them as sktlfully as Englishmen themselves. They had to contend at one and the same tittle against two opposite foes, the Reactionists—aided by the priests, who abhorred the very name of liberty or constitution—and the Republi cans, who were reckless enough to assume a hostile atti tude towards any Government that did not go their length and adopt their intolerant and narrow creed. And while steering this delicate and anxious course, and making head against both these contradictory opponents, they had also to carry on a subtle war with the Court of Rome, which was striving to bring them back under its crushing incubus, and to baffle and withstand the under hand intrigues of Austria, who saw the full weaning and peril of suffering the successful establishment of a really free and prosperous state so close to her own con tracted dominions. They had to throw off priestly di rnitestion—and no people had been so priestridden as the Piedmontese—without alarming or offending the sincerely catholic feelings of the nation ; and they had to watch with the most jealous care lest the violent and discontented a.nalng themselves should, by outbreak or intrigue, give any excuse for Austria•• interference, nr is any degree turn away the warm sympathies of the inure liberal states of Europe. All this they have done with the tn-st, consummate skill. Born Anglo-Saxons could not have dune it better, and would scarcely have done it so patiently. The maintenance of freedom has invigorated industry and re stored commerce. Railways and other public works have gi ten a vast stimulus to enterprise, and wealth and revenue are steadily increasing. During this period, too, the constitution of the Sardinian army has been entirely re-modelled. It used to be nearly as aristocratic as our own, and was sadly infected both by favouritism and cor ruption. Now, without flying into the opposite extreme, the door has been opened to all merit, and closed against all incapacity ; the troops are, we believe, among the finest and best-equipped in Europe, and have already shown in the Crimea that they are not inferior to those of France and England either in courage or in discipline. The effect of all this upon the future prospects of Italy —if only the Italian patriots will be patient and bide their opportunity —cannot be too highly estimated. The Foreign Italian Legion, composed of men drawn from every corner of the Peninsula, and trained by the hard experience of actual warfare, will furnish a nucleus for an Italian army whenever there shall be a real Italian state ; and will supply leaders, officers, and organisers whenever the day of liberation shall dawn, and the war of emancipation shall begin. And the Sardinian troops will return home, after their work is done, veteran sol diers, fully competent to defend their country against the unpr ictised regiments of Austria, and to put to shame her armies, while their liberal monarch puts to shame her despotic Emperor. on Saturday to embark boilers and machinery for Ply mouth. The Australian, with battering guns, sailed from Greenhithe on the same day for the Crimea ; and the Monkey went down from Woolwich to Northfleet to convey 20 riggers to assist in launching the two gun boats Sandfly and Slieldrake. MILITARY. A detachment of 70 recruits of the Royal Sappers and Miners left Woolwich on Saturday for Chathain, under the command of Lieutenant and Adjutant Lempriere, for the purpose of undergoing instructions under Colonel Sandham, Royal Engineers. Twenty men belonging to that corps arrived 'at the Woo!wich Barracks the same day from Chatham, under the command of Captain and Adjutant Fitzroy Somerset. These men are for imme diate embarkation in the different transports about to convey huts to the seat of war. Two men will be ap pointed to each ship. Lieutenant and Adjutant Lem priere, Sergeant-Major Bradford, and two non-commis sioned officers proceed to Aldershott to receive volun teers from the Militia. On Saturday afternoon the largest number of invalid soldiers from the Crimea who have been received at Chatham for some time arrived at Strood station by special train from London. The number included in valids and wounded soldiers from almost every regiment now in the Crimea, amounting in the whole to 232. Nearly the whole of them came home in the Great Tas mania steamer, which landed them at Portsmouth, and the remainder were from the hospital at Chichester. The invalids embarked at Balaklava on the sth, 6th, and 7th of July, and sailed on the 10th of the same month. Previously to their embarkation nearly all had been under treatment at the hospital, and a few were from the hospitals at Scutari. Ten wounded officers took passage in the vessel for Malta and England. During the voyage 10 deaths occurred on board. On the arrival of the invalids at Portsmouth 62 men, who were convalescent, were permitted to leave on furlough, and the remainder were sent to Chatham in medical charge of Acting Assistant-Surgeon James Jardine. To assist those of the invalids who were unable to walk from the railway carriages to the hospital spring vans and omnibuses were in waiting, and a large fatigue party was in attendance at Strood provided with stretchers. A considerable number of those who arrived had been severely wounded, and upwards of 20 were supported on crutches. Assistant-Surgeon W. J. Fyffe, M. 8., 30th Regiment, and Acting-As sistant-Surgeon Cole, from Fort Pitt hospital, were in attendace, for the purpose of making the necessary me dical examination. After a careful inspection 56 were ordered to be removed to the Supplemental Hospital, Brompton Barracks, for medical treatment ; three, who were insane, were taken to the hospital for that class of patients at Fort Pitt, and the remainder were sent to the Invalid Depot at St. Mary's. On Saturday morning two draughts of the 43d Light Infantry and the 84th Regiments, consisting of 150 non commissioned officers and men, with four women, left the provisional battalion, Chatham Barracks, for the Strood station of the North Kent Railway, and pro ceeded by special train :to Gravesend, where they em barked on board the Trafalgar for Madras. The draughts were under the command of W. K. M'Leod, 74th High landers, and the following officers embarked at the same time : Ensigns A. R. Close, H. Gorton, and T. Elmer, 43d Regiment. During the past week two detachments of the First (King's) Dragoon Guards, with other troops, have arrived at Exeter, and occupied the barracks recently vacated by the 11th and 15th Hussars. The first detachment con sisted of 42 men and 60 horses, under the command of Capt. Bradbury, Capt. Bridge, Lieut. Edelman. and Cornet Sidbnry. The remainder of the depot, which arrived on a later day, were composed of 60 men and 100 horses, commanded by Capt. Thomson, Lieuts. Kempe and Marter. There are also in training about 30 recruits for the Scotch Greys. The Dragoon Guards travelled direct from Edinburg by rail. The enclosed copy of a farewell Regimental Order issued by Brigadier-General Shirley, C. 8., to the Con naught Rangers, on assuming the command of the 2d Brigade Light Division, has been received from the Crimea : " The General Commanding-in-Chief having been pleased to confer the local rank of Brigadier-General on me, I now resign with sincere regret the command of the 88th Regiment. "It is now more than 21 years since I joined the Rangers, and a more happy 21 years no man ever passed ; the cordiality and good feeling of the officers to each other and the attachment and steady obedience of the non-com missioned officers and men to their officers have been fre quently remarked by officers of all ranks throughout the army, and has caused us to be the envy of many. " I have now commanded the regiment for more than seven years, and I feel confident that no commanding offi cer ever commanded a regiment for so long a period with Ifewer occasions of annoyance than I have had. Many of you are, I suppose, aware that her Majesty has lately been pleased to confer on me the Order of the Bath, as well as a grant of 100'. a-year; these honours and these rewards have been gained for me by the Rangers ; it is to your gal lantry, to your bravery, to your patience under the severe trials of last winter that I am indebted for these honours and rewards, and most sincerely do I thank you for them. The old soldiers will recollect that I felt confident before I left England that the Rangers of the present day would prove equal to the Rangers of the Peninsula, and most nobly have they answered my expectations. " In giving up the command of this regiment I have the satisfaction of feeling that I hand it over to one who is worthy of it—viz., Lieut.• Colonel Maxwell, who has shared all your dangers, and who is most capable of per forming all the duties to the satisfaction of every one I have little doubt but that you will shortly gain for bins the honours you have already gained for mo. I have also the very groat satisfaction of knowing that I am not to be entirely separated from my old regiment, but am appointed to command the same brigade, and that should I be mer cifully spared to receive further honours, they will still be gained by my old regiment, in conjunction with our brave friends and companions on our right and left." BIRMINOBAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. BIRMINGHAM, Saturday.— The festival terminated with a ball la s t even i ng, at which the noble president (Lord Willoughby de Broke) and some 500 persons were pre sent. The gross receipts will fall little short of 12,0001.; but we are as yet uninformed of the exact amount, and there are donations yet to come in. Up to yesterday afternoon the figures stood as follows : Receipts 1852 £10,638 9 3 Receipts 1855 ............ 11,537 5 3 Increase £B9B 16 0 This excess has been made up entirely by the increased attendance, for the donations have sadly fallen off ; and the figures above do not include the ball receipts. The expenses are unquestionably greater than they were at the last festival, but at present it is impossible to say what sum will• accrue to the charity. Be this as it may, there can be no doubt but that the character of the Festival has been greatly heightened by the last week's performances, and that the Birmingham Festival is stamped as the greatest musical celebration in the world. After the attainment of such complete success it would be an omission not to add one word of acknowledgment to those by whom it has been achieved. We ca❑ find no better wor is for this than those supplied in the Journal of this morning "No one can estimate the amount of anxiety, labour, and self-sacrifice which Mr. M ason h as undergone ; and his arduous duties have been discharged with the promptness of a man of business and the courtesy of a gentleman. The best praise that can be awarded by Mr. Stimpson is the universal opinion that in or out of England a better disciplined' choir can not he found." We only append an expression of thanks to Mr. George Whateley, for the ready dispositio n he on all occasions evinces to supply the press with informa tion upon matters ofdetail—a courtesy which we have pleasure in acknowledging. fAnvcarismizyr.)—Medicine always aggravates chronic dis eases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulency, habitual con stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food invariably cures them in a very short time. We extract two out of many thousand expressions of gratitude from invalids :—From the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart. Cure 52,612.—Rosstrevor, County of Down, Ireland, Decembe r 9, 1854. The Dowager Countess of Castlestuart feels i n d uced, in the interest of suffering hu manity, to state that Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food has cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indiges tion, bile, great nervousness and irritability of many years standing. This food deserves the confidence of all sufferers, and may be considered a real blessing. Inquiries will be cheerfully answered.—Trevagler, Gulval, near Penzance, Feb. 20, 1851.—Eighteen years nervous debility, violent palpita tion of the heart, throbbing of the temples, violent pains on the left side and back, shortness of breath, cough, numbness of the extremities, cramps, spasms, flatulency, retching, and such general weakness, that I was consequently fearful of fall ing when on my legs, all these symptoms have been removed by Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food.—MARY GELBERT.

Mr. William Morrison Richards of the storekeeper's office in Devonport dockyard at this port has been ap pointed for service in the store department of the dock yard at Constantinople, with an allowance of 10s. per diem in addition to his salary as clerk in the home yard. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The Tigris, sailing transport, left Portsmouth on Saturday for Balakla.va, with upwards of 800 tons of victualling stores for the Royal Clarence-yard, consisting of bread, pork, beef, tea, sugar, rum, rice, &c. The mill i❑ the Clarence-yard resumed work on Saturday after some weeks' suspension, and the steam bakery will re commence work to-morrow. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Colombo, Capt. Methuen, screw transport No. 61, as stated in The Sun of Saturday, sailed from Southamp ton in the afternoon of that day for the Crimea. The Colombo has T 1 board the following passengers :—For Malta, Mr. Fredericks. Clerk of the Royal Engineers, and Mrs. Fredericks—For Constantinople, Capes. Beck with, C. F. T. Skettowe, J. Thornton, G. F. C. B. Hawkes, and T. Knight, Major T. Plaskett, and a ser vant of Capt. Evans, Turkish Contingent. For the Crimea, Staff Surgeon Warren, 50th Regiment, Lieuts. Norton, 23d Regiment ; Frazer, 41st Regiment ; and Eschalez, 55th Regiment ; Messrs. W. Skelton, T. G. Hill, and C. C. Lowe, assistant-engineers, to the Black Sea fleet ; Lieut.

The Colombo also conveys 2,386 shot and shell, equal to 202 tons, 15 large and 10 small huts, measuring 400 tone, 18 boxes of f usees , an d one b ox o f i mp l ements. Corporal Church and David Lloyd, sappers and miners, are likewise passengers by the Colombo. THE WYE DISTILLING VESSEL. The Wye steam distilling vessel did not leave on Fri day for Balakiava, but proceeded from Portsmouth to Cowes, in order, it was understood, that she might be inspected by the Prince Consort, She returned to Spit head the same night. For the purpose of practically testing the efficiency of the distillin , apparatus with which this vessel has been fitted on the plan proposed by and under the superintendence of Mr. T. T. Grant, F.R.S. (Controller of Victualling), for the supply of fresh water distilled from the sea, for the use of the army in the Crimea, a final trial was made on Saturday, the result of which proved that neatly 4,000 gallons of perfectly fresh and palatable water can be obtained daily, and of the same temperature as the source from which it is taken. The Wye is also fitted with neces sary apparatus for either delivering the water thus ob tained on shore or on board other vessels ; and she has been stowed by Mr. Davies, R.N., Master Attendant of the Royal Clarence Victuallinff-yard at Gosport, with tanks capable of containing a reserve of water equal to about 300 tons. The Wye will proceed immediately to her destination (Baliklava), and there is reason to believe that means will be taken for pumping this water from the coast to the camp. ACTIVITY AT SHEERNESS. Unusual activity prevails throughout the whole of the victualling department of Sheerness dockyard, under the charge of Mr. Thomas Hockings, paymaster in the navy, in consequence of the general overhaul of all the salted provisions now under his care (which is unusually large). The casks in qnestion are all opened and filled up with fresh brine. We hear. as yet, that th e mea t has turned out sati s f actor il y. No. l'and 3 dry docks; in this yard are being lengthened by Mr. Josiah Hall, of Queenberough, as fast as can be expected, considering the magnitude of the undertaking, and the weight of the pieces of granite and stone with which these docks are lined, independently of the thick massive brickwork at the bed, to support the above stones. The iron founda tion-plates for the boiler sheers for the basin are being let in, and the boiler factory will soon be in full work. as the coat and plat e f urnaces, encased with fire-proof brick-work, are being erected inside, an d s h a f t i ng ma chines fixed, &c. Punching machines are at work, and already many minor pieces of machinery are fitted and repaired. This building is admirably planned for the purpose of carrying o n an extens i ve manufacture and repair of boilers, which, taking into consideration the proximity of this yard to the Baltic, coupled with the screw being now almost indispensable in the navy, ren ders it imperative that a building of this sort on a large scale should be used here. The steam transport Jura, No. 14, C a ptain Wickham, arrived at Spitbead on Saturday from the East with in valids, &c. The following officers left her at Malta, and proceeded homewards via Marseilles :—Lieutenant the Hon. A. Crofton, late ith Fusiliers ; Captain James, 20th Regiment; Lieutenant APPlierson, 80th ; Captain Aplin, 3:1; Major Crawley, 39th ; Lieutenant Coulon, 49th Ensign Hunter, 19th ; Drs. Kirwan and Pratt, Mr. Wright and Mr. Bruce. The Jura went into Ports mouth Harbour yesterday afternoon for the convenience of landing her invalids. The "Colonel Lockyer" men tioned in the Friday's report from Malta is Major- General Lockyer. The Urgent, screw-transport, Commander C. G. Phil lips, is lying over on the east side of the basin at Shaer ness, rigged, rattled down, and studdingsail-booms on the yards, ready for bending sails. Stalls are being made on shore, and will be brought down to the ship ready to erect on the quarter-deck, to carry only eight horses, sheep and poultry pens. Artificers of all grades are actively engaged in getting her ready for sea as quickly as p oss ibl e , t o conve y t roo p s t o the Crimea,a part of whi c h, cons i s ti ng of Royal Artill er y, are now in these barracks. The appointed time was the 22d, but we hear now she will very likely be ready a week sooner, when repo r t says s h e w ill l e ave fo r So u th amp t on. H er machinery is c o m pl e te, and in every way satisfactory. We bear th e y are now p u tting felt on th e boilers in case of accident. She has amidship, on the upper deck, a spare composition fan, weighing upwards of seven t ons . She has taken i n a b o ut 300 tons of pig-iron ballast, and is expected to fill up with coals this week. The circular tower erected on the Isle of Grain spit by Messrs. Kirwan and Parry fast approaches completion. The two iron tanks are being fitted below, and capable of holding four and a-half tons of water each ; the era sures for the gun carriage wheels to travel on being made by mechanics from London, and the flooring timbers are being laid, &c. This formidable little battery will mount three guns of enormous calibre, and situated as it is at the entrance to the harbour, and directly opposite Gar rison Point, will be enabled to form a cross fire with those batt er i es upon any s hi ps attempting to enter the Medway. The advantages of a battery of that descrip tion and situation are too well understood by those who understand naval tactics to need further comment. MISCELLANEOUS. The Lords of the Admiralty are expected to commence their official inspection of the Government establishments at Plymouth and Devonport on Wednesday. Second-class Surgeon 'William Braybroke, owing to ill health, has returned from the medical charge of the army of reserve stationed at Malta, under the command of Brigadier-General Randall Rumley. Sixty civilian labourers came up the river on Saturday and shipped on hoard the Germania at Woolwich, to take passage for Balaklava. The Germania is awaiting orders, and will most probably sail this day (Monday). The Dee, Commander Pullen, came up to Woolwich The Hibernia, 104, fitting a receiving ship for Malta, is complte in her rigging, and is daily taking in stores of all descriptions at Devonport. It isaid she will take out 2,000 tons for Malta yard and the fleet on the station. The Implacable, 72, training ship, Captain Lowe, went out of Devonport harbour on Saturday, and took up moorings in the Sound, where she is to be stationed. The Phaeton, sailing frigate, 50, is in the basin, Sheer ness, having latterly undergone many repairs preparatory to bringing her forward for commission, as she is consi dered one of the fastest sailing vessels in the navy. The Eurotas frigate is in Sheerness dock, being lengthened for a screw propeller. The Persian, Scylla, and Chut.—The latter two ves sels are building at Sheerness ; the former brig under going a thorough repair. The Castor, sailing frigate, 36, Lieutenant Wood in command, is still lying up at Black Stakes, River Med way, manned and provisioned. Report says she is off to the Cape of Good Hope about the middle of the week. The Siren, sailing brig, 16, Commander R. I. Otway, has completed repairing her copper, at Sheerness, and hauled out of No. 1 dry dock into the basin on Satur day. She is wholly rigged and ready now for bending sails, &c. The Lucifer, 2, paddle, has undergone extensive re pairs at Portsmouth, and will proceed to Pembroke shortly with riggers and gear for the new 91 screw, Repulse, which is on the e►e of being launched at the above dockyard.

I.—Since our last monthly report there has been no change of any importance in the woollen cloth trade. Thera has been a good steady trade . chu e in the warehouses during the month that has just passed. A regular succession of buyers have been in the town from nearly all parts of the country, as well as the principal ones from London, Glasgow, and Manchester ; and we believe we are correct in reporting the transactions to be quite satisfactory in extent and fully equal to the cor responding month in last year. We have no alteration to report in our export trade; it continues dull and in . active. BRADFORD, Thursday. —The attendance at our market to-day was more numerous than for some time peg, an increased activity was manifested, and business through out the day was rather animated. There was a ' very fair demand for all descriptions of combing wools, which remained firm at the prices recently cur rent. Noils and brokes were also in good request. The prices of yarns had an upward tendency, and there was ...ecidedly more business transacted is this branch of the trade than for many weeks of late. HALIFAX, Friday Evening. There is no marked change in the piece or yarn market this week, the latter, perhaps, rather inclined to increased firmness. In the long wool trade sales have been comparatively inactive, but prices are extremely firm, and the feeling within the last.two or three days Andicates the probability of ra ther enhanced quotations than otherwise.
