It is very well to speak of conducting wars in a more humane and generous spirit, but we must not be led agile by any sentimental feeling from a straightforward an I practical view of the sub ject. 'lt is, of course, desirable that as little suf fering as poisible should be entailed on persons not engaged in the actual business of war. Life should, in every instance, be respected. The moment a belligerent lays down his arms he ceases to be a foe, and those who were ready to encounter the greatest risks to destroy him a moment before gill brave equal danger to rescue him wlienlialias made the appeal al misericordiam. There is, however, a diff3rence respecting pro perty--where it cannot prove serviceable to the enemy, and where its destruction will only occasion loss and misery to innocent per sons it will naturally and properly be spared. Wanton damage for the mere sake of mischief is justly reprehended and severely punished. But whenever it may become ser viceable to the enemy's troops, it will unhesitat ingly be seized or destroyed without any notion of giving compensation to the owners. The right unquestionably exists, although it is seldom reserted to ; but no general rule could or would be made that private property should be invari ably respected under any and every circumstance, or that the nation whose troops had committed damage should be found to make full compensa tion to the parties injured. But there is a great difference between pro perty at sea and property on land. It is by means of its trade and commerce that a nation is enabled to obtain the "sinews of war," and to keep its armies in the field—its navy at sea. The most effectual way of bringing a nation to its senses is generally the stoppi ng i ts vessels, and preventing its flag from being ex hibited on any sea or ocean. Even then, strictly private property, that is to say, what belongs to passengers, and cannot properly be classed under the head of merchandise, is usually respected, save by the semi piratical privateers, who are by no means particular in their transactions, and would just as soon plunder friends as foe 3, if op portunity offered. There is another, and very striking distinction between the property on land and water. In the former case the owner does not make any attempt to dispose of it or change its nature. He is com pelled to retain it where it is situated, and does not voluntarily place it in danger. But it is dif ferent with respect to merchandise. There a person deliberately counts his chances, and calculates the risks ho is about to encounter. He will not engage therein unless the prospect seems favou rable, and offers grea t er profits in the event of success. A man is there for© not so greatly to be pitied, if the result should be unfavourable, as the man who had n o „ oh option allowed. Th e an alogy drawn by Mr. Nancy, therefore, by no moans holds good. Besides, he himself refuses to assent to what, after all, is little better than organised and legal piracy—the greatest scourge of war, and the chief ause of damage to private individuals. As Mr. MARCY has rejected the most important of all the points, the others necessarily fall to the ground, so far as the United States are concerned. f,; was distinctly and positively stated by Lord CLARENDON that any of the principles could not be appealed to by Governments that refused their acceptance of the whole. Without the participa tion of America the arrangement can be of little practical utility, and ought, therefore, to be re pealed at the first favourable opportunity. Lord CLARENDON owes it to the nation to get us out of the difficulty in which we have been so improperly involved. When are we to get rid of the German Legion ? Some have already been discharged with gratui ties and other benefits that might well excite the envy of our own soldiers. But the Germans are manifestly the favoured race, and " the mere English" must submit to being slighted and dis regarded in every possible way. We may rail at " German cormorants," but, according to the old proverb, we must " grin and bear it " with the greatest amount of patience possible under the circumstances. But it appears that we are not to get rid of the parties quite so easily or speedily as antici pated. If we do not know when we have good soldiers they know when they have good pay masters, and are not disposed to surrender their comfortable quarters without a struggle. It is true that they have displayed great insubor dination, and have been always ready to wield against Englishmen the arms which were never drawn against the enemies of England. But they have a friend at Court. The back-stairs' influence is all in their favour. We are told on very respectable authority (the Essex Herald), that Bergholt Heath has been surveyed as a place of encampment for two regi ments, and that negotiations have been carried on for the hire of the Freehold Land Society's ground near the railway station at Colchester as a place of encampment. It certainly was not anticipated that England was to be saddled with a permanent corps—a standing German Legion. It undoubtedly was the object at the time that the obnoxious Foreign Enlistment Bill was brought forward, but we had hoped that the almost unanimous voice of public opinion, clearly and unequivocally expressed, would have put a quietus on the scheme. We find, however, that the snake is scotched—not killed. " The Prince's Own" seem to anticipate a protracted sojourn ; and now that the militia has been disembodied, without receiving all that they were justly entitled to, we may have argu ments put forward as to the propriety of retaining the services of these mercenaries. If Lord HAIL. DINGE still nominally presided at the Horse Guards, allowing the control and direction to remain in other hands, we should have but slender hopes of getting rid of the incubus. We have now, however, a General Commanding-in-Chief who has an opinion of his own, and who will not permit his name to be sullied for acts for which he is not really respons ible. The debates in Parliament, articles in public journals, discussions in the clubs, and wherever bodies of persons are collected together, all show the strong objections entertained, by men of all classes and grades in society, to the gairi sons of England being occupied by foreign mer cenaries. They have themselves shown that they are rather inclined to break thin to preserve the peace. Were it even otherwise, their presence naturally exasperates the people, and leads to comments which, if heard, might be very unpleas ing to Princely ears. We can scarcely imagine anything more impolitic than retaining them. The cry will soon be not only, when shall we get rid of the Legion, but when shall we free our selves from the Germans ? It will find an echo in every district in the land, and may possibly lead to very disagreeable results. We would emphatically caution those in high places not to lend themselves to anything calculated to produce so much vexation and dissatisfaction amongst the tax-paying community. It may be very agree able to H.R.H. to have a body guard of bis own countrymen ; but, as he has cast his lot with England, he must learn to conform to the feelings and wishes of the people, who have provided a ♦ery snug and comfortable home for himself, al though he may be disposed to consider them un founded prejudices. Russia is said to nourish—and there can he little doubt does nourish—an intense fee:ing of animosity towards this country on account of the part we took in the War. It is very ungrateful of her if she does, for she is really very much ii;- debted to us—at all events, to our Government. No doubt she regards us aq, in the long ran, the most dangerous opponent, as well as the most invidious rival she can have ; and attributes to the naval strength our Government was compelled to put - forth the formidable attitude the Allied forces were enabled to assume towards the conclu sion of the War; and far be it from us to deny that she is right. What suffering she has undergone is, in. the main, attributable to us, for without our transports and the military appliances brought to bear against her by means of our shipping the Allied forces could hardly have maintained their ground before Sebastopol. But let her look at the credit aide of the ledger, and she will see how little cause she has to com plain, and, consequently, how ungenerous it is on her part to cherish animosity against us. Had we not joined in the War and assisted our allies, what would have been her case ? Russia would not have been called upon to put forth all her strength, and would, in all probability, have gone on in ignorance of her weak points. For the knowledge of these, at the present time, she is chiefly indebted to us. To whom else can she with so much fairness attribute the insight she has got into the ineffective condition of her fleets, the weakness of her fortresses, and the im portance to her welfare of the construction of railways? And to whom, if not to our Govern ment, or those in the background who pull the strings that control its action, is she indebted for " the Precious Peace" which, finding her compara• tively unhurt, affords her the opportunity to turn the knowledge she has acquired b am n Really she count ? must be an ingrate of the first magnitude. Already her fleet has undergone a reform and been augmented in numbers as well ag efficiency ; her fortresses are pronounced im disciplined i n th e W ar, are pregnable; her troops, turned against the independent tribes of the Caucasus ; and a cloud of capitalists hovers over her frontiers, to obtain permission to intersect her barren wastes and cultivated soil with railways, so that ere long she must be tenfold more formid able in the eyes of Europe. Instead of cherish ing animosity towards us, the name of England ought to be engraved on her heart and carved on every Russian fortress and railway station as that of her greatest benefactor—one that loved Russia better:thau herself 1 Miss Catherine Hayes, it is said, has accepted an en-1 gagement at the Surrey Gardens for a short time. We learn that Mr. Macaulay is about to travel to Venice, and on his return will proceed vigorously with his history.—Edinburgh. Courant.

THE NAVAL COMMAND IN CHIEF IN THE INDIES.—It is not iinprobs.blo that Rear-Admiral Fremantle, whose flag has been flying on board the Leander, in the Black Sea, will succeed Rear-Admiral Fanshawe as c im roander.in-cbief in the West Indies. The time of this last-na.ned gallant officer expires next month, but it does not necessarily follow that he will be superseded so earl• or at all, until the American questions are really fin ally settled.—Plymouth Mail. THE AMERICAN MAIM—LIVERPOOL, Aug. 20. The United Statfas mail steamer:Ericsson sailed to•day at half-past 12 o'clock, for New York, with 27 passen ge s and a general cargo.

The United States mail steam-ship Ericsson sailed for New York to-day with 25 passengers ; and also, this afternoon, the Afri can *ail steamer Niagara took her departure hence for Plymout'i, where she will take on board passengers and the mails. DEATH OF Da. Born.---The Scotsman announces the death of Dr. Boyd, one of the classical masters in the High School of Edinburgh. Dr. Boyd has been con. nected with the High School since 1829, and was pre ♦iously one of the teachers in Heriot's Hospital. TRANSPORTS —A list has just been published of the number of ships engaged as regular transports between January, 1855, and April, 1856, amounting in all to 245. Various particulars are appended of the dates of their engagement and discharge, their tonnage and horse power, &c. THE SECRET OF LARGE " CHEAP" CIRCULATIONS.- The other day oneof the cheap London daily newspapers sent down to Manchester, to be sold for waste paper, 6,i tons of its returner!, copies. The paper before it was printed cost 7d. per, lb. ; when sold it is most probable that it did not realise 2d. per lb.—Liverpool Paper. THE MANCEIEGTER STATUE OF WELLINGTON.- The new~tatue, by Mr. Noble, of the late Duke of Welling ton was plac , Jd upon its pedestal in front of the Man chester infirmary yesterday morning. A canvas cover ing part:iy screens it from observation, and this will not be re`lovcd until the inauguration, which is fixed for the 311th inst. The whole of the engineer equipment belonging to the Turkish Contingent, which is sufficient for upwards of 20,000 men, has arrived in the River Medway, in the ship William, from Kertch. The powder she brought home has been landed at Gilling,ham, and safely placed in the powder magazine. The stores are to be selected and put together, and handed over to the, Royal Engi neer Department of the garrison. A STEAMER WRECKED.-, fraASERBURGH, Aug. 18.— On Thursday, the 14th inst., about 11 a.m., the screw Ammer Taurus, of and for Varel from Glasgow, wlbh 300 tons of coal for ballast, went on shore on Rattray Head, about nine miles south of this placel; the wea ther at the time was very fine and clear. She is a new vessel, on her first voyage. The wind blew strong yesterday from E.N.E., and still continues, with a heavy sea, so that she is not expected to be got og. SOUTH WALES RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the proprietors of this railway held their 23d half-yearly meeting at the Great "Western Hotel, Paddington ; Mr. C. R. M. Talbot, M.P., presided. The report was adopted, and resolutions for the payment of the preference dividends and for the payment of a dividend at the rate of 31. 10s. per cent. for the half-year on the ordinary stock were passed. NORTH AND SOUTHWESTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY. —The directors report that the total receipts from all sources during the past half-year are larger by 26i per cent. than those of the corresponding six months of 1855; and the balance, after deducting all outgoings and the interest on the debentures, is nearly 484 per cent. more than that of the 30th June, 1855. With the balance left Moen last half-year, the amount available for divi dend is sufficient to pay 2. per cent. for the past six months, and leave the sum of 1491. Bs. Bd. to be carried for ward. This dividend is 1 per cent. more than was declared in August last year. REPEAL OF SLEEPING STATUTES.—Among the acts passed in the last session was one to repeal 118 statutes not in use, called sleeping statutes, including laws from Edward I. to the reign of George 111. One act in Ed ward V. was that "Night-walkers and suspected per. sons be safely kept," and another (the let of Henry IV.) was " For the punishment of the Mayor, &0., of London for defaults eammitted there." The titles of some of the lawn were curious. Wirila —Probate of the will of Mr: Henry Hoare lase been granted by the Prerogative Court of Canter. bury ; personalty 99,0001. Mr. Thomas Dickins, 11,e gent-street, 50,000/. Mr. M. A. Borthwick, St. James's, 20,0001. Mr. Thomas Sharwood, Aldersgate-street, 16,0001. The will of Mr. Joseph Mailaby, of Loaley Park, in the county of Stafford, personalty has been sworn under 2,0001., within the province of Canterbury, and under 70,0001. within the provinces of York. Ti SIJAPHGTED MURDER AT HAMPTON COURT.-- S nee the coroner's inquest relative to the death 01 L3WiS Solomons, who was found in the Thames at Hampton Court, with several severe stabs in his body, the police have been prosecuting an active investigation into the matter, but nothing has been elicited calculated to dispel the mystery in which the affair is enveloped. No trace of the arrival of the deceased in Hampton Court on the day when he was missed has been dis• covered. The surgeon who made the post mortem examination states, that though there a-i 3 several stabs in deceased's side, the Guernsey shirt which completely covered the upper part of his b00..y has not been per forated. THE WEATHER AND TF E CROPS.—The weather has been very fine, with, an occasional light refreshing show MOOId a ratl'3 oottler atmosphere. The wheat har vest progresses ander very favourable circumstances ; much has been cut, and a little carried. The rip en i ng bas been . d 9 rapid that the quantity will not be so great as was. expected ; the shocks are also not so thick on the gr:And, yet it shows a good average. A great breadth of the early barley has been carried in fine condition ; the late will be rather thin. Beans are ripening fast ; they show plenty of corn and no blight. The turnip crop is improved, but many of the late &Anted are very iniLfferent. Mangold is doing well, and bids lair to be a heevy crop. All kinds of keeping are getting scarce.— oxford Journal, Aug. 16. CHURCHES OF COLOURED PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON. A writer in the Washington Era states that there is a good degree of thrift and industry among the coloured people in that city, notwithstanding the discouragement's of tio.dr po,ition Their number is ten teou,and, which is ri.bmit one-fourth of the number of whites. They own 11 places of worship, the aggregate value of which is nearly $40,000. Ten of the coloured congregations pay their pastors on an average $650 each, besides marria,ze . . fees and oLlier perquisit es; making a total of $6,500 yearly for the maintenance of a preached Gospel, over and above tbe'expense of keeping the houses, fuel, re pairs, &c. There are above 1,000 children in the Sab bath schools, who are mostly taught by members of the several congregations. This is a hopeful picture of their condition. ARRIVAL IN LIVERPOOL OF THE GOVERNOR OF CUB©.—His Excellency Don Jose Dials, the governor of Cuba, was among the passengers by the royal mail steamer Persia, wqich arrived in the Mersey, on Friday night, from New York. His Excellency put up at the Adeiphi Hotel ; and on Monday afternoon, accompanied by M. Thomaso, the Spanish interpreter, residing in Liverpo'3l, paid a visit to St. George's Hail, the assize courts, and expressed himself in high terms of praise at the beauty and magnificent proportions of the noble structure. In the evening his Excellency left for Birmingham, whence he will proceed to London. Be. fore he returns to his native country, we understand that his Excellency purposes visiting Manchester.— M anch,ester Guardian. ROYAL BEMIPWOLENOII.—The late Sir J. Milley Doyle, K.C.8., although decorated with honours which had been conferred on him by the sovereigns of England, Portugal, Spain, and the Ottoman Empire, died in very straightened circumstances, occasioned, as he aileged, by hie not receiving a large sum of money—about 15,0001.—due to him from the Portuguese Gocernment, as Commander-in-Chief of the Liberwin,g Army in that country, although his claims were admitted to be per fe qtly just, by the Duke of Palmella, the Brazilian Consul, General Antonio de Silva, at Lisbon, Berm Soliguac, late Commander-in-Chi,f of the Portuguese Forces under Don Pedro, and also by Lords Brougham and Cottenham, Lord High Chancellor of England, as being in strict accordance with the contnot mach with the British Auxiliary Forces. Sir John, at his death, left a sister ninety years old, totally unprovided for; and this circumstance having been brought to the knowleige of her Ma. jesty through the kindness of Vi count Palmerston, to whom, as well as her Majesty, Sir John was personally kn.Jwn, the Queen, with her characteristic kindness, has loHn graciously pleased to settle the sum of .501. per annual as a peesion for life on this aged lady, and Vis count Palmerston, in the kinde4 manner, also sent her 401. from she royal bounty fund for present contingen cies. Any observations on such noble actions as those of too Sovereign and her Minister would be superfluous. SALE OF CROWN ESTATES.—About 1,500 acres of free:sold land, the property of the Crown, were offered for sale by auction, by Messrs. Driver, of London, at the Court-house, Epworth, on Thursday last. The pro• pertv consisted of the manors of Epworth and WeA CVOa-d, together with a quantity of arable and grass land, farmhouses, and buildings. The sale was at ten-.led by many of the leading gentlemen and solici tors of the Isle of Axholmo and surrounding districts. The, manors of Epworth and Westwood, with their fines, chicfrents, &c., were sold to Mr. G. S. Lister, of Hirst Priory, for 5,1501. Seventy-five acres of warp land in 0 ~ - t.os parish were sold to Mr. W. E.l2Tobson :Kettleby Thorpe, for 3,7611. 179 acres of similar land near Haxey were sold to Mr. Black'of Leverton, fur 3,6901. A. farm in Belton and Epworth parishes, consisting of 141 acres, was bought in at 5,0001., the highest bid pre viously being 4,0001. A few other lots were also un sold, but the great bulk of the property was disposed of, and the sale realised about 23,0001. E I ' • THE SUN, LONoo THURSDA , 7 EVE AUGUST 21, 185:) LATEST EWS. ST.

MADRID, AUG. 19. It is asserted by Government partisans that the important questions which are pending will be soon resolved. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. A telegraphic despatch announces that the Em peror, with the Empress and the Prince Imperial, arrived to-day, at five minutes past 12, at Biarritz. Th© Al oniteur of to-day says :—" H. I. H. Prince Jerome Napoleon left to-day the palace of Mau don in order to proceed to Havre where his im perial highness intends remaining for some time. The Russian embassy at Paris has just been officially informed that the quarantines along the coasts of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff have been re-established. 13,USSIA. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow ing correspondence from St. Petersburg : _ ST. PETERSBURG, Atm. 13. " Count de Moray, the French Ambassador, arrived here, overland, on Tuesday last, with some of the mem bers of his embassy, and alighted at the Hotel Woronza Daechkoff. On Thurday he presented his letters of cre dence to the Emperor at the Imperial Palace of Peter hof. The following day was the fete-day of her Majesty the Empress. Count de Morny was invited, with all the members of his embassy, to spend the two days at Peterhof, although, according to Russian custom, the diplomatic corns is not invited to these family festivals. Altar his reception by the Emperor, the Ambassador was received by the Empress, to whom he presented the members of his Legation. Presentations to the Princes followed. In the evening there was a private ball at the palace, to which only the intimate friends of the Imperial family were invited. Count de Moray was the object of marked attention. Today aid to-morrow he will receive, as is customary, the visits of the diplo matic corps and of the Ministers and high civil and mili tary functionaries. " Lord Granville and Prince Esterhazy present their letters of credence to-morrow to the Emperor at Pete' hof. " The Prince de Ligne, the Belgian Ambaisad. r, is expected on Satui day, as is also Baron de Seebach, the Saxon Envoy. " The Diplomatic Corps will leave for Moscow on the 22d. The departure of the Emperor is fixed for the 26th ; his soletra entry will take place on the 29th ; the coro nation will be on the 7th of September ; and the Court will return to St. Petersburg at the end of the month." ITALY. TURIN, AUG. 16. The following communication, which has been sent from Naples to the Opiniwie, of Turin, for publication, has excited general attention here from the perfect knowledge of his subject displayed by the author, and the moderation and calmness of his tone. It appears well worthy of the most extensive circulation in the interest of those who are denied a fair hearing in their own country, and whose enemies are always on the watch to mislead public opinion in Europe as to the real state of affairs whenever they have an opportunity. I therefore forward it to you intact, and without further re mark. It is entitled : " CONDI7ION AND WANTS 01 KINGDOM OP NAPLES. " There are certain things in the lives of men and na tions. which are true, but yet not apparently true ; there fore,' whoever speaks the truth of the affairs of Naples runs the risk of not being believed by those who are strangers to the political and social condition of the king dom. A system of laws, wise and liberal—the best in Europe, perhaps ; a tranquility almost normal of the people, in spite of so many elements of disgust and agita tion ; an entire security on the part of the Government, notwithstanding the opposition of Europe and the menaces of Franoe and England are facts which might lead the most cautious politicians astray. But those who live in Naples are aware of all that is hidden under the veil of deceptive appearances, and of that slow work ing of the gangrene of disorganisation corrupting society and Government. " The laws certainly are good, but what is a good code when society is placed beyond the pale of the law ; when, instead of being the palladium of public security, it has become, in the hands of an arbitrary power, the means of committing with impunity every kind of at tack on persons and property ; when the laws of the kingdom of Naples are, like the banquet of Tantalus in the fable, the means of adding to the sufferings of priva tion and the horrors of an arbitrary Government ! " The apparent tranquillity of the people is certainly not the si , n of satisfaction or of resignation. Half a century of sad experience has unfortunately associated the idea of government with that of oppression in the minds of all ; and the useless attempts and cruel disap pointments have undermined the desires of improvement by vague tendencies, and the fear of worse has now in duce 1 a state of apathy and prostration. The people in general can see improvement, but do not hope for it; they feel the existence of reason, but they do not believe in its sway. The permanence of the contradiction be tween right and fact, between the prescription of the laws and the practice of the Administration, could not but produce its effect on moral and legal habits, hence want of confidence in men and things, instinct of ille gality in the masses and in the Government, but a want of confidence which rages—illegality that threatens. " Such circumstances render the position of the king dom of Naples very different from the rest of Italy, and the conditions of its future must be sought for in other institutions. " When, in 1847, the movement of reform was initi • ated in Italy, this difference of political wants was felt and recognised by all. What reform could be new for the Neapolitans ? The Freneh had accomplished a social and political revolution in that part of Italy that survived untouched the restoration of the Bourbons in 1815. Different from other countries of Italy, the prin• ciples of the French revolution were maintained sound and entered into the legislation. That which Piedmont has had to conquer recently by means of its Parliament and the loss of its good relations with Rdrne had been woo, nplished in Naples 50 years aio. In Naples neither the right of asylum nor exceptional jurisdiction f it ecc'e ail- tics was known ; marriage was regulated by civil law, °definable institutions were secularises', monasteries sup preesed, the Code Napoleon had become the law of the country—in short, all financial, judicial, administrative reform had been accomplished by the decennial French Government, and accepted, at least nomirally, by the Bourbons. It was on this account that the reform movements of 1847, which expressed the tendency of progress for all the rest of Italy, could only express ten dencies of conservation and guarantees for tie kingdom of Naples. That which it was elsewhere necessary to conquer and sanction by right, it wa3 only necessary to assure in fact at Naples ; the reform existed, the Ad ministration only required to conform its practice to it. "From 1815 to 1847 the Government, impotent to de stroy that which public opinion regarded with just pride, as the best political conquest inherited from the French domination, applied itself to spoil insensibly and falsify in the application that system of govern ment which it had accepted as the laws of the State. Absolutisra was introduced throughout the machine of the Administration ; the Communal institutions were falsified; the Provincial Councils reduced to a farce ; the Exchequer turned from its principles ; the Council of State, which was the indispensable complement of that system of government, changed into a Consulta, without attributes and without independence ; the laws crossed by decrees, the decrees by rescripts, the rescripts by the Ministry, and the Ministry by the ab solutism of the officials, who felt themselves strong through favour or through intrigue ; exception had taken the place of the law, and favour the place of justice. Such was the condition of Naples in 1847. " While, then, they called for reform in Italy, in this kingdom the feeling of reforms accomplished and unobserved suggested a demand for a system of gua rantees and cf institutions by means of which the laws of the country should no longer be merely a word, but a inte•—should no longer remain a memorial only, hat become a reality. Never was public opinion more unanimous or more reasonable. Every one knows hdw the king understood the solemn and pacific mani festation of the public vote, and conceded and swore to the constitution on the 10th of February; 184$. The public, might of the Neapolitans was then com plete, the previous reforms were assured, the civil insti tutions guaranteed by the political, and the execution 61 the lass placed under the guardianship of the general interests. The only thing left to be done was to put one'sself with good faith to the work, and interpret the laws by the practice of life ; but the calamities of the times and the malice of men interfered. _ _ ... " The criuntry, from the vortex of anarchy, was hurled into the abyss of despotism, and, crushed gradually in the coils of a reaction as blind as it is unreasonable, it has compensated by eight years of -suffering the disorder and the confidence of a day. The whole of society has been treated as a conquered country. The Saxons in England were not worse in the 12th century- And all without the appearance of right—without a pretext of fact ! "The theorists of the reaction say that, the Neapoli tan people having broken the compact by the insurrec tion in 1848 against the King, the latter had the right to take back what he had conoeied. Error and sophism ! Is it pretended that the King had the right to take away the constitution, and for that end that he is cora pett nt t ) abolish - the laws and the Goverment, and t , ) interdict, as he had done, the entire nation from the use of the most sacred and indispensable rights 1 On the other hand, not to do violence to common sense in speaking of the disorders of 1848, the doings of a hand ful of wicked persons should not be contounded with the great majority of peaceful and honest citizens. Oh 1 the admirable justice, indeed, of punishing a whole nation for the faults of a few mad or misguidel indivi duals. " But historical truth does full justice to these sophisms. Precisely when the Kipg had most appear• once of right to destroy the constitution, then he con firmed and guarani?eed it ; no fact afterwards occurred to authorise the pretended right of repfisttls; It must not be forgotten that, when the sad colliqion of the 10th of May, 1848, the culminating point of the anarchy, placed the authority In the best condition of strength, the first use the King made of the victory gained was to assure the nation that he would never withdraw a con stitution to which he had solemnly sworn, and from which might he expected the consolidation of order and of the monarchy. " The proclamation of the 16th of May is engraven on the memory of all ; in it the King recognised that the revolution was the work of a few, and that public opinion loudly reproved and condemned it. " The frankness and moderation of that proclama tion gave a new element of life and force to the Go vernment. In the name of the constitution the re bellion was suppressed in Calabria, the Royal autho rity re-established in Sicily, and public crier in all the provinces of the kingdom ; not only were all arrears of taxes paid, but even those not due were anticipated ; never was authority so supported by the nation. " What was the consequence of the happy results ? The institutions were calumniated after their prestige had been made use of. The nation was punished after benefiting by its moderation ! The constitution of the 10th of February was thrown aside with the other laws of the kingdom, and absolutism returned triumphant to power, showing itself more insolent in fact as it felt itself less founded in right. The abnormal state which exited before 1847 was aggravated a thousand times after 1848; inoffensive opinions and innocent actions were alike per secuted. suspicion became the criterion of Government, confiscation a means of prevention, calumny an instru ment of revenge, judicial forms safeconducts from pre acrip!,ion, and oaths and t romises broken by the reac tion ; the country disorganised as well as the Govern ment—no faith in the one, no principle in the other ; the King removed from the centre and the official direc tion of affairs ; Government without a Ministry and without responsibility ; the directors holding the place of Ministers without confidence and without authority, the internal and external policy oppoeed to the moral and material interests of the nation. That is the true, though not apparently true, condition of the kingdom of Naples. "Such a state of things cannot last long. Every one perceives that the country is in a stage of crisis and transition. On the one hand, the Governments of France and England appear to icterest themselves in the fate of the kingdom of Naples at least as much as they did in that of Turkey ; on the other, the people are moved and agitated between the stimulus of resentment and the anxiety of hope. " But what possible solution is there for this compli cation ? Where shall we seek the conditions of the fu ture and the repose of this important State of Italy ? " Public opinion and reason are fully agreed ; now, as in 1847, it is a question of guarantees rather than of reform. But if the conditions of fact of civil and poli tical society in the kingdom of Naples are infinitely worse since 1847, the conditions of right are nevertheless immensely improved. The solution which it was then necessary to await from concession or revolution is now found altogether in the strictest and purest legality. "The constitutional law of February 10, 1848, sanc tioned and irre?ocably sworn to by the King, bas be come the public law of the kingdom, and forms the com plement as well as the sanction of all the general system of laws. If the constitution is not put in execution that is no proof that it does not exist ; it exists in the condi tion of all the other laws of the monarchy, in the condi tions of right, not in those of fact. Absolutism, with the support of power, has usurped the place of all the laws ; the cessation of absolutism and the executicn of the laws, that is the word of order of all honest men who form the great majority of the kingdom of Naples. The only solution, then, is in the execution of the constitu tion of February 10, applying and modifying the princi ples in the various organic laws composing it, according to the necessity of the times and the lessons of experi ence ; with it all the laws will become a fact, without it all promises are false. "Lord Clarendon said, in the English Upper House, in the sitting of the 14th of July, that the British Govern ment bad recommended to the King of Naples a better administration of justice, an amnesty, and toleration of inoffensive opinions ; and yet the answer was anything but satisfactory. Many other proof were wanting, that alone would be sufficient to show that the Government of Naples thinks the actual system of administration the best, and therefore intends pertinaciously to persist in it ; and, as that advised by the English Ministry is in the spirit and in the letter of the law of the kingdom, the refusal of the Government of Naples to accede to the counsel betrays on its part an open resolution to re main in illegality and continue arbitrary power. "But, supposing he should be induced to concede what is asked, what advantage would result to the country I The King would in appearance concede that which was already established by law, without by so doing destroying or curbing arbitrary power. How could the better administration of justice be otherwise more assured than by the existing tutelary forms of pub lic discussion ? How can the tolerance of opinion be better protected than it is protected now by the actual system of the penal laws? Nevertheless, Europe is aware of what is the administration of justice and the tolerance of opinion in the kingdom of Naples. Per haps it is thought that the repetition of a law adds force and efficacy to its prescription. Blit who can assure its execution ? Will France and England constitute them selves the champions of legality and good government, by retaining permanently their fleets in the Bay of Naples ? " It must not be forgotten that in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies people no longer believe in anything, neither in men, nor things, nor in oaths, nor in laws. %Vent of confidence has entered into the n,inds of all— of tutu of all classes and all ages. Fifty years of oppres sion arid of undeceiving have caused loss of faith in justice and virtue. To cure this evil which to the miseries of civil and political life adds the aridity of scepticism, para'y , ing every principle of expansion and progress, the sole and unique means is that of supporting the Government of the State with institutions that may supply the want of confidence by the aid of reason. The people suspect the good faith and loyalty of the Lsgislature ? Well, let them name it themselves. They doubt the regularity of the administration I Let them either directly or indirectly fix the rules. They cry out against the weight of the taxes ? Let them con sent to them and discuss them. In a word, suspicion is only cured by publicity, doubt by discussion, want of confidence by reason. The constitutional system is the only suitable one in such circumstances; for Naples it is not only a necessity, but happily it is still a legality. " But is a constitutional system attainable at Naples ? Certainly there is an obstacle which opposes it not corning from the country ; on one side, the trial made in 1848 and 1849 was neither made outright nor in good faith, since those times were days of anarchy for one party end perfidy for the other, of passion and agitation for all; on the other side, the success of such a s+ stem in Piedmont bears witness how much more has ly it would take root in tkis is,rt of Italy, which , is un,re advai.ce i than any other on the road of ex perience and of civil progres', and would n.:t find itself in tl.e serious diffieult:es of foreign and domestic policy as Piedmont did, and from which she was only saved by the good faith of the Government being able at last to overcouie them. . . "The sole, it must not be unknown, the positive obstacle to the execution of the constitution in Naples, exists in regions which, in the normal state of things, can only be reached by diplomacy, and which the in terests of Europe can alone overcome without a re ¶oiution. If this obstacle should disappear ; if, con formably to public necssity, the constitution of the 10th of F,bivary and, by it, all the laws of the kingdonm arrive at execution, perhaps it may be that the nation will succeed some day in putting itself in the path of justice and progress ; but certainly without the constitutional guanotee there is no hope of eitherjustice or repose ; the laws will remain a fiction, and the only future presented to the country is an abyss of despotism and revolution. "The great Powers of Europe cannot assuredly he indifferent to a state of things pregnant with such a future. A. revolution here might probably cause war in Italy and complications in Europe, and it is for that reason that the interests of general peace require that the empire of the law should be restored in Naples, and the cbstacles which oppose it boldly removed. This is how we understand the truth of the grand principle that Lord Clarendon proclaimed at the Paris Conference — `There can he no peace without justice'—and which the diplomacy of the Western Powers may take as a rule to guard the scarcely sketched edifice of peace. It is to be hoped that the love of a true and durable peace will so prevail in the policy of France and England that they will not hesitate even for a moment before the scruples of a pretended right—the right of non-interven tion—which it' is now sought to make the bulwark of barbarism and tyranny. The Holy Alliance never was stopped by such scruples. "The power of France and England has become in contestably preponderant in Europe ; the maritime power of England renders it especially preponderant in the kingdom of Naples. " Now, every Power bears with it responsibility, and every responsibility the right of action." AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Liverpool and Philadelphia screw steam-ship City of Baltimore has arrived with advices from Philadelphia to the 7th inst., and 296 passengers. On the 10th inst., in lat. 42.58 N., long. 60.35 W., she spoke the screw steam-ship Kangaroo, hence for Philadelphia. The President had communicated to the Senate a reply to the resolution calling for information re lative to the recent affairs in San Francisco, toge ther with the correspondence on the subject. A letter from the Governor of California, asking for arms, had been referred to the Attorney-General, but the President had insuperable objections to the demand. _ . Mr. Cushing argued that obstruction to the con stitutional laws or officitl authority of the United States had occurred, and that the President was only to be moved to action when the Legislature of a State could not be convened, and when immi nent or extreme public disaster could only be averted by such interposition. He said the whole constitutional powers of California had not been exerted, and it did not appear that the Governor had taken any steps to convene the Legislature. Advices from Baltimore of August 6 state that flour was steady, wheat quiet, corn selling at 60 to 653 for white, and 63 for yellow. NEW ORLEANS, AUG. 5. Sales of cotton to-day 500 bales, prices being on change. Sugar selling at 81c. Western mixed corn, 68e. Mess pork, S2O. Lard iu kegs, 1310. Cotton freights to Liverpool, 7-16 c. (Thr ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, AUG. 21. _ _ The screw steam-ship Alps has arrived from New York, with advices to the Bth init. She brings no specie. The Royil Mail steam-ship Asia, hence, arrived at New York on the 7th, and the screw steam-ship Vigo, from Havre, on the Bth inst. The Senate had passed the Navy Appropriation Bill, after striking out the proviso adopted by the House, that the military force of the country should not be employed in enforcing the laws of the Kansas Legislature, and that the President should adopt means for the pacification of the ter ritory. The House of Representatives had passed the Navy Appropriation Bill. It provides for an ex penditure of $11,000,000 for that branch of the public service. Among the items is one of $87,000 for continuing the work on Stevens' steam floating battery, for the protection of New York harbour. In the money-market the demand was active, and rates hardening. Stocks were lower, the mar ket being active and sellers plentiful. Cotton steady, but sales limited, without change in prices. Medium and extra brands of flour were scarce, and prices firmer, with some sales of fine, wanted for export, at a slight advance. Wheat declined from 3 to 5 cents per bushel. Pork sold at 20 dollars for mess, and 18 dolllars 25 cents for prime. Sugars sold to the extent of about 1,300 hhds. Cuba at full prices. Coffee was in fair demand. Freights to Liverpool rather firmer, with engage ments of wheat in bulk and ships' bags at 6d. to 64d., and flour at Is. 6d. The Nord contains a communication from St. Petersburg which endeavours to justify the occu pation of the Isle of Serpents by the Russians. It is averred that the Turks had still less right than the Russians to take possession of the island, inas much as the latter must belong either to Russia or to the territory to be ceded to Wallachia, but in no case could belong to Turkey. The Russian "Lighthousemen" have been taken to Odessa on board of an English vessei of war, and the local authorities there had confined themselves to re ceiving them, declaring that the affair must be made the subject of diplomatic negotiations.

The Journal de St. Petersburg of the 13th announce that, on the 9th inst., tin 1 Count de Morny, the French ambassador extraordinary,, was present at the mass cele brated on occasion of the birth day of the Empress of Russia, and had the hon our, after Divine service, ot presenting his felicitations t;o her Majesty. On the Fame day the count was presents id to the Grand Duke Con stantine and the Grand Ds tam Alexandra. M. Bau din, chief secretary of the Fr •ench embassy ; the Viscount de I'Espine, second secrete ; the Viscount Simeon, chief attache ; as well as perm cis forming part of the em bassy extraordinary, sent specially to assist at the coro nation of the Emperor, viz., Count Joachim Murat, deputy secretary of the Legislative Corps, and the Count de Lavalette, had also the hor our of being presented to the Grand Duke and Duchess.. On the same day the Count de Morny and the mem hers ot his suite above named, was presented to the l ;rand Duchess of Saxe Weimar, the Grand Duke Nicol as, the Grand Duchess Marie, the Grand Duchess Cat) ierine, and the Grand Duke Georges of Mecklenhourg S trelitz. Le Nord publid2es some details , specting the recTiion of M. de Morny by the Emperor. A t the grand ball given on the occasion of the anniversary of 'the Empress's hire= (lay, M. de Morny had the honour of dancing with her Majesty and with her Imperial High. tress Alexandra, the wife of the Grand Duke Constantine. During the sup per the Emperor, who was walking round the tables, conversed repeatedly with the membt Irs of the French Embassy. At four o'clock on the afte. moon of the same day an official dinner took place in t he palace of the English Garden. M. de Morny prop. •)sed as a toast, " The Emperor Alexander IL and the Empress," ex pressing, in a few graceful words, his gi •ateful sense of the reception he had met with, and whicl i he considered as a new proof of the sympathy existing • between the two states. He concluded with saying he was per suaded that the relations so happily and cordially re newed between Russia and France would be consoli dated more and more. Tne Count of Bo rcb, grand- master of the ceremonies, in reply, prop osed "The health of the Emperor and Empress of the French," and thanked the French ambassador for hi 's friendly word*. We also read in Le Nord :—" Count Esterhi izy, hav ing learned that the Count of Morny was leavinkt for St. Petersburg, made his preparations so as to arrive at that city before the French representative. A fei v days after he desired to be presented officially to the Czar;i but his presentation could not take place, for Count Esterhazy had forgotten to bring with him his ore den tials. In the meantime M. de Morny arrives, %Ili° a few days after solicits and obtains his official prese.nta Lion. He bad not forgotten his credentials. " Of all the representatives of the foreign powers sent to the coronation of the Czar, M. de Morny is therefore the one that has been received first by the Emperor. Viscount Esterhazy was desirous, no doubt, of being received the first, that he might have the right of occu pying the first rank during the ceremonies of the core nation, for you cannot but be aware that on such an occurrence the places are given according to the priority of the several receptions." QUEEN OF OUDE AT SOUTHAMPTON SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday Night. The Indus arrived this evening with the heavy portion of the Indian mail. Amongst her passengers are the Queen Dowager of Oude, and the brother and son of the ex-King. with one hundred and six foliowere. "The Queen Dowager is a good-looking woman, of dark com plexion, fifty five years of age, and very intelligent. She is very eanguine as to the success of her mission to this country for the restoration of her son to the Throne of ()tide, She has 80,0001. for current expenses. The jewellery she lost on her voyage was worth 50,0001. Some por tion of it was intended for presents for the Queen of Englaud. The brother of the ex-King is a fine tall man, and is a general in the Oude army. The son of the ex-King is a very handsome youth. They dress in the most magnificent style, their head dresses being covered with diamonds and emeralds Many of the followers are small, poor-looking men, and exc-edingly dark. They are shoemakers, tailors, cooks, and of other trades. They were working all day lang on board. The cooking apparently never ceased. The Queen of Oude and suite occupied the whole of the fore part of the ship, where a cooking galley was fitted up. The party lived upon rice, curry, sheep, and lambs be tween Alexandria and Southampton. The dishes were usually served up of curries and pillaus. The Queen of Oude occasionally sent into the saloon for the English passengers a curry or pillau, and such dishes were found to bo delicious. An eunuch is with the party ; he is a very extraordi nary looking personage. He has long hair, and a feminine bust and voice. There are six maids of honour in attendance on the Queen every day. A screen was erected on deck, the enclosed part was carpeted, and the Queen and ladies wPre escorted up behind the screen, and guarded by the eunuch, who bebaved with remarkable severity in keep ing all persons from gazing on the ladies. He is a general of infantry in the Oude army. Owing to the state of the tide the Queen and her suite could not land to-night. The Indus will arrive in dock about seven o'clock to-morrow morning. The most in tense interest exists in the town to see the Queen and her suite. The whole of White's Royal York Hotel has been taken for them ; it was uninhabited, and workmen and charwome❑ have been wor king night and day to clean and fit up the hotel. The Queen is to pay 12 guineas a day for the use of the hotel. Five houses inßegeot's-park, London, have been taken for the Queen Dowager. One of the party, a monshee, or writer, died on the voyage. He lived for a long time entirely upon opium. It is believed that the box of jewellery which has been said to be lost was stolen.

STEALING RAILWAY TICKETS.--On Tuesday, John Lynn, a journeyman painter, of Manchester, was charged before the magistrates of Huddersfield with stealing two railway tickets from the Denbydale Station. The evi dence of Thomas Leaver, the Denbydale station-master, George Blacker, the porter, Thomas Lamb, ticket-col lector at Miles Platting, and George Eccles, railway policeman, tended to show that the prisoner was sent from Manchester to the Denbydale Station to paint. Oa Thursday last he was so engaged in the booking -office ; when, being left alone for a short time, he secured two tickets from Denbydale to Manchester, and used one of these the same night, the object apparently being to avoid paying for lodgings at Denbydale. The prisoner had a pass , which, however, he could not use before Saturday night. He pleaded guilty, and begged to be allowed to pay for the tiekete, and have his name posted along the line. He also produced a character for good conduct from Mr. W. Davies, of Broughton, but this did not avail to save him from an imprisonment of two months. It was stated that similar frauds, committed at other stations at which the prisoner bad worked, had not been detected,—Manchester guardian.
