MONEY MARXET 7.:•Vrr,LLIGEIVO OITA', Two lboef. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed quietly, and prices of all kinds were the same as on Friday. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 6,000 American (1,500 for export and 1,000 on speculation), 700 Pernaan and Maranham, at 7d. to 70. (500 for export), 50 Bahia at 6id. to ; 250 Egyptian, at 64d. to 7/d. ; and 800 Surat at 4id. to 5/d. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened steadily, but a reaction took plice, and the market subsequently closed with some degree of flatness. Accounts from the French manufacturing towns report a slight return to activity at Paris, which indicates the close of the dull season. In the pro vinces, the principal traders who have hesitated to submit to the increased prices of goods, have been obliged at la•t to purchase for their immediate wants. No improvement, however, has taken place in the position of the silk trade at Lyons, on account of the continued scarcity and high prices of raw silks. Some arrivals of India and China silks have relieved the market a little, but these are not suitable for the stronger tissues, for which the silks of France and Italy are indispensable. Advices from Odessa of the 7th inst. state that in consequence of the numerous shipments of grain to the Mediterranean, and a gradual diminution in the supplies from the interior, there was a gene ral riso in prices. Letters received from the neigh bouring provinces make mention of an unfavour able harvest in some districts, so that the arrivals at that market will not be so abundant as was expected this autumn. There ara few purchasers for the markets of Western Europe. Old wheat is sold at 10 to 111 silver roubles per tchetwert. Accounts from the Sea of Azoff report a middling crop near the coast, with a more favourable return from the agricultural districts in the interior. The Money Market at New York, according to the advices received this morning per steamer Nia gara, was rather easier at the period when the mail left, but this was attributable to the fact that the general business of the season was later this year than usual, and it was therefore expected that in creased stringency would soon be experienced. Local writers on this important subject generally predict an increase in the value of money, and a consequent decline in the quotations of public se curities. They argue that if so much money was required in a period when commercial transactions were limited a larger amount of capital will have to be employed in the development of the winter trade. The last return published by the City Banks indicated that the mana gers of those institutions were still taking precautionary measures, and limited as much as possible their loan and discount business. There was still an excess of imports over exports, the former in the week ending September 6th being valued at $4,082,877, and the latter, including specie, at $2,175,295, showing a difference of $1,907,581. The proceedings at the meeting of the share holders in the Royal British Bank, held on Satur day, have formed a leading subject of conversation in City circles to-day. It is almost needless to say that the conduct of the directors, past and present, has been severely animadverted upon, for to their gross mismanagement and utter disregard of the principles of banking must be as cribed the loss and ruin that has been inflicted on those who unfortunately held shares. Acutely as the directors must have felt the vote of censure passed upon them, most parties consider they richly deserved it. The excitement which prevailed dur ing the meeting was at times intense, and after the chair was vacated those present formed themselves into small groups and discussed their unfortunate position, and condemned the conduct of those who, through their carelessness and misrepresentation, had, in many cases, brought ruin upon them. The subjoined letter has been received by the committee of the Stock Exchange, from the Secre tary of the Crystal Palace Company, relative to an irregular issue of shares : Crystal Palace, Sept. 20. Sir,—With reference to the reports yesterday in circulation, as to irregularities having taken place in the transfer office of this company, I am directed by the board to inform you that they have caused an examination to be made of the share register and transfers deposits(' in the office from the Ist January, 1855, to the present date. The result of this, the directors regret to say, shows some improper dealings in regard to the shares, although not to the extent rumoured. The result, as far as ascertained, shows about 1,397 original shares, and 662 preference shares to have been improperly registered; that is to ray, to Lave been put on the register without a proper title in the transferrers, while other transfers to the extent of 1,268 original shares, and 391 preference shares simi larly circumstanced, have been sent into the office, bat hav e not been registered. A more complete investigation into the matter is in progress by Messrs. grilter, Ball, and Co., the result of which will be communicated to you. By order of the Board. GEORGE GROVE, Secretary. Mibifl Slaughter, Eq., Secretary, Railway Department, Stock Exchange.

Railway Shares are not very active, and the tone of the market is heavy. Great Western, Cale donian, and one or two others are firm, but most of the principal shares are at a slight decline. The Foreign Market continues in a dull state, but Some of the Colonial undertakings, including the Great Western of Canada, are rather higher. Mining Shares are neglected, but in Banks a good business has been done at ratl.er lower prices. Miscellaneous are quiet. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES (From the Official Lid.

In some instances prices wore in favour of buyers. Barley moved off heavily at drooping currencies. All other grain ruled about stationary. Hostile's' done this day livirg by sellit:g fruit in the streets, was chargea be fore Alderman Cao•ter with obstructing the fi.sotpath in Charlotte street, Mausion•house. The defendant was locked up every day last week for u similar cfhnce, and when brought before the Llrd Mayor she was on each occa sion discharged, his lordship con,iderirg the police earlier] out the instructions of the Commissioners of Police for the City in too harsh a manner with referer:ce to these poor people. The continental markets are rather dull and drooping. From the United States, the shipments of produce con tinue nasonably large. Up to our markets last week the arrivals of English grain were small. From abroad we received 15,544 quarters of wheat, 2,537 barley, 15,203 oats, 1,907 peas, 5,455 linseed, 1,3:19 rapeseed, r,9 mustard seed, 1,323 sundry seeds, and 6,53 E barrels of flour. Gt. Ni earm Irk. New. i3trw,. Y. AL N M Police .constable 416 deposed that he saw the defendant in Charlotte•street, On Saturday, selling fruit. She ohs' meted the footpath, and he desired her to move on, but she refused. A large crowd congregated around them, and he weg obli;ed to take hEr into eusto.'y, lock her up. He acted in a,econlarlea with the inktrue• Coos of the City C. , mrnisiioners •,f Rohe The defendant said she had been accustomed to s,ell fruit for years at the corner of the street, and highly eulogiied the late Ltrd Mayor Gibbs, the 1.47. rd bles3 his soul, and Mr. Nobler, by whose kindness she was allowed to sell fruit there fur upwards of 15 years. The fact was will known to the honourable Mr. Goodman. Thu sipoly of wheat receival fr3sh up to o'ir ram k)t to day from Es:.e. NI was small, and the receipts from Keut, C:trenitlgeshire, &e., were very niuderst , . The gulp :nil condition of the szipply was by no means tirst rale. The attendance of both town and cow,try was far from name roue, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro duce was much less active than on 2;lonlay I tst. In prices, however, compared with that day, very little change tuck place. At the close of business infcrior wheats were cer tainly the turn in favour of buyers. There was (ily a moderate show of foreign wheat for the time of year. Russian pareals were steady, at full quotations. In all other kinds only a limited business was transacted, at last week's currency. Floating cargoes of grain were less active. The finest samples of barley were hold at last week's quotations ; but other kinds were very dull, and quite 2s. per quarter chanper. Malt met a slow sale, but no change took place in the quotations.

Policeman—No. Defendant—Yes, you did ; you tore my dress, and dug your nails in my arm. Mr. Alderman Carter--If she had moved on that would have been sufficient for you. Policeman—Yes. The flour trade was steady. In the quotations very little change took place. The quantity of foreign flour here is trifling. Wiltsk,goturst I(4tWombs.

Mr. Alderman Carter—Yes. Defendant—Thanks, your honour. The defendant, after being cautioned, was discharged . BOW-STREET. WATCH ROBBERY.— Sarah. Clarke, a prostitute, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a watch and chain of the value of 121. The prasecutor, Henry Pritchard, a cabinetmaker, re siding in Paddington, stated that as he was walking up New Oxford-street early this morning the prisoner, who was on the opposite side of the street, crossed the road, and threw her arms round his neck. He desired her to leave him, and in five minutes after she bad done so he missed his watch and chain. He immediately went in pursuit of the woman, but did not succeed in finding her. Suspecting that she had entered a house of ill-fame in George-street, he proceeded to the place, and went into the parlour, but the prisoner was not there. He was about to give infortmvion of the robbery at the station-house, but not being able to find the place he returned to George-street, and on passing the house he heard a conversation going on in the parlour respect ing the watch and chain. He waited for some minutes, and then the prisoner and another woman came into the street, and he then accused the prisoner of stealing his watch. She denied the robbery, and a policeman coming up he gave her into custody. Police-constable 67 F took the prisoner into custody He had searched the house in George-street, but he had not succeeded in finding the watch. Hannah Regan, the keeper of the house in George-street, St. Giles's, said the prisoner was at her house last night, and, as she was leaving the house, - the prosecutor came up and charged the prisoner with stealing his watch. He had previously, in the presence of three constables, charged another girl with the same offence. A woman, a servant at the house, was next called as a witnes-. Sim said her name was Mara. Magistrate—How is your name spelled 1 Wituess—l don't know, sir. Magistrate—Pahaps ;he landlady can tell ue how to lepe!l the witness's name ! The landlady was then called, but she could not spell the name. The witness, in answer to questions put by the magistrate, said the prisoner at the bar was in the house at ►he time the robbery was committed. The prosecutor was then re-called, and stated that he never entered the house in George-street with three constables of the F division and pointed out another girl as the person committing the robbery. The prisoner was fully committed fur trial. 114 1 64 LAW ben nt from 176-> to Sls pe:r cwt. The (lay is willed 270,00 j/. All oil hops are very dull, and ex treuialy low in price.

On Saturday the supporters of this association held a fete at the Crystal Palace in aid of the funds for the early closing and Saturday half-ioliday movement. The day was chosen in order to afford a practical test of the warm feeling with which the objects the society proposes to carry out are regarded in the metropolis. The directors of the palace readily granted the day, and at the same time consented to the association having a pecuniary in terest in all the tickets so:d by them or through their in strumentality, with the Raception of those issued at the railway. The amusements provided for the occasion consisted of no increased proportion of music, a grand archery fete, and, in addition, the fountains played twice during the day, namely, at two o'clock and again at half-pa , t five. There was also a further attraction in the interior of the palace, and one which must have much conduced to the enjoyment of Satur day's visitors, and will, no doubt, still further please the more select attendanco on ss. days. We mean, of course, Marochetti's peace trophy, which has been in course of demolition for the last week, and is now com pletely removed. We most sincerely congratulate the directors on having taken this step, and carted away an obstruction which disfigured the whole building. How they will answer to the shareholders for having expended, if we are rightly informed, nearly 5,0001. upon it, is quite another matter. That such a sum should ever have been thrown away on such a monstrous design is inex cusable, and the recklessness of the outlay is proved by the fact that, on its completion, all the laws of good taste compelled its being broken up and hidden. In the part of the grounds set apart for archery prac tice there was a large concourse of visitors, for the asso ciation bad given a prize of a beautiful silver cup, worth 12 guineas, to be shot for, and the match was open to all England. There were many competitors, as might have been ex pected, and the trials lasted from 3 till nearly 6 o'clock. The match, however, only proved, beyond all doubt, that to whatever amusements those who benefit by the early-closing movement devote themselves archery is decidedly not one of them. Nearly everything was hit but the target, which, after three hours' constant firing, only exhibited five arrows in its centr2. The spectators !lid not confine themselves to standing behind the "stout' bowmen" (the only place where they would have been , aft.), but wandered in dangerous proximity to the target, sear which, of course, some arrows fell. Cautious to keep out of the way were useless till at length a young toxopholite signalised his skill by sending an arrow , hrough the neck of an elderly gentleman, and inflicting a severe wound, when the spectators took the hint and retired to a safer distance. The prize, after some diffi culty in coming tl a decision, was at length awarded by the umpire, Mr. Grey, to Mr. R. J. Worthom, whose al row was 1 16th of au inch nearer to the centre than that of Mr. Foulkes. At the conclusion of the match, which seemed to ex cite great interest, the visitors crowded the palace listen ing to the strains of the company's bard till dusk. Nearly 20,000 visitors were present, aad but for the very threatening a'pect of the weather the attendance would have been even more numerous. It is to be hoped that the proceeds of the fete may prove i.erviceab!e to the association, and enable them more effectually to advocate the early closing and half-holiday question, which is daily increasing in popularity, and gaining additional attention. It seems to be generally admitted that excessive labour has been, up to the pre sent time, one of the monster evils of this country. The people have allowed themselves to be engrossed by the occupation of money getting, to the neglect of pursuits of a more refined character. Whilst treating their cattle consistently with the laws of nature, employers, forget. ting that the human frame is similar in its organisation, have been too touch accustomed to act towards them• selves, and those in their service, as though they were compo,ed, not of flesh and fibre, but of wood and iron, al lowing their families to grow up destitute of a father's su perintendence and care, and wearing out themselves and their dependants long before the allotted period of human life. The public, however, are gradually becoming awak ened to a sense of this evil, and it is due to the em ployers to say that they, as a body, have admitted the present system to be one of the greatest curses which afflict the trading classes. The practical effect of this conviction—that excessive labour, whether mental, phy sical, or both conjoined, is attended with these disastrous results-13:s been a marked improvement in the hoursof suspending business, more or less, in every department. A great number of interesting facts upon this subject have been published in a pamphlet by Mr. Jshn Lilwall the secretary of the Early Closing Association. THE FORGERY ON Tilt CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. Several of our Sunday contemporaries publish the following account of this transaction :--It appears that, two days since, it was observed by the accountant of the company, who had lately returned to the duties of his cffi3e after a severe illness. that the numbers on certain dividend certificates acd those of the sh:.res standing in the names of the parties di'l nut tally. He immediately sent to Mr. Robson, the clerk in the transfer office, through whose department these shares would pass, and drew his attention to the fact, inquiring how it could happen. Mr. Robson replied. "Oh, that is very easily explained ; there have been two transfers of the shares, for some of them have not been applied for, and have lain in the office for a year and a half, and we did not think it necessary to enter the first name." "But there must be a certificate of transfer somewhere," said the accountant. ‘' Oh, yes," responded Mr. Robson, with great coolness, "I have got them all locked up a my house." The accountant reminded him that these cer tificates should be in the office, and said ho would have a horse put to at once, and drive over with Mr. Robson to his house at Kilburn, for the purpose of fetching them. This was agreed to, and they immediately started for Kilburn. On their arrival Mr. Robson showed the accountant, with whom he was on terms of acquaintance. ship, into the parlour, and ordered luncheon, as they should stop some time. He then left the room for an instant and returned again. This going out a n d re-entering occurred several times without occasioning su spicion on the part of the accountant, until a longer absence than before led to suspicion. On inquiry it was found that the bird had flown, and speedily a man arrived with a note from Robson, stating that he hal sent a man and an account back to the Crystal Palace, as he himself was compelled by urgent business to go to London that night. An immediate investigation of the accounts and shares took place, and the board, at their meeting on Saturday, declared the ascertained loss to be somewhat under 5.0001. The following letter has been forwarded to Mr. Slaughter, the secretary of the railway department, at the Stock Exchange : " Crystal Palace, Sept. 20. "Sir,—With reference to the reports yesterday in cir culation as to irregularities having taken place in the ' transferoffice of the Crystal Palace Company, I am directed to inform you that the board have caused an examination to be made of the Share Register and transfers deposited at the office from Jan. 1, 1855, to the present date. The directors regret to say that the result of this shows some improper dealings in regard to the shares, although not to the extent rumoured. The result, as far as ascertained, shows about 1,397 original shares and 662 preference shares to have been improperly registered—that is to say, to have been put on the register without a proper title in the trans ferrors—whil-t other transfers, to the extent of 1,268 ori ginal and 391 preference shares similarly circumstanced have been gent into the.office, but have not been registered. iA more complete investigation into the matter is in pro tress by Messrs. Qui er, t Ball, and Co., the result of which Naf. be communicated to you. — By order. I "GEORGE GROVE, Secretary.

A QUEER SOLICITOR.—Joseph Constant Solomon, a tall dirty-looking man, who described himself as a solici tor, of 56, Cranbourn-street, Leicester•square, was brought before Mr. Beadon, on a warrant, charged with using abusive and threatening language towards Mr. Taylor Roberts, solicitor, 18, St. Martin's-court. Mr. Roberts stated that on Wednesday, the 27th of August last, he left his office with the intention of going to the County Court, and when be arrived at the clr ner of the narrow part of Saint Martin's-court he came in contaot with the defendant, who struck him on the shoulder, and said, " Well, Robert, I'd forgive you for beating me in that cause the other day, but I'll be one with you yet." Witness cautioned him as to what he was at out, and tried to pass on. The prisoner persisted in following him, and re peatedly called out to hi nto go anid pay his debts. A large crowd then collected, and it was with the gr atest difficulty he got away from the prisoner, against whom be took out a summons to answer for his conduct at this court. Defendant, however, never attended to the summons, and a warrant was granted, and on Saturday night he was apprehended while in a beastly state of intoxication. Defendant bad formerly been a oertificated solicitor, but at preseitt he was not, and from his habits had latterly become a disgrAce to the profession to which he persisted he lint belonged. Defendant most humbly apologised for his donduct towards the complaisant, and promised if be way for given this once he would not repeat the offence. Mr. Beadon fined the defendant 2ik and °Alto. Mr. Roberts said he did not wish for so severe a sen tence, and would be satisfied with the prisoner entering into his own reeogni%ance to keep the peace. Mr. Beadon then ordered the defendant to pay 4 , ., the cost of the warrant. Mr. Roberta tho monoY, and the defendant gave him an I 0 U for the amount. SOUTHWARK. THE BERMONDSEY NUISANCES AND MS BOARD OF WORES.—Mr. Edwin Goodwin, manure manufacturer and guano dealer, Pauline-street, Bermondsey, was summoned before Mr. Combe by the Board of Works for the Bermondsey district, for carrying on an offensive trade, and allowing a large quantity of filth to accutnu• late to the danger of health of the inhabitants. Mr. Riches, the clerk to the board, appeared to pro- Bente. Dr. Challice, the officer of health for the district, stated that in the early part of the present month he re ceived information that the defendant kept in his pre mises a quantity of filthy matter used in his trade which was offensive to the inhabitants. In consequence of that witness went with Inspector O'Brien and examined the place, where he found about 100 tot si of putrid animal matter lying all about with other filthy stuff used in the ma..ufacturo of manure. It was dangerous to the health of the neighbourhood and ought to be instantly removed. Mr. Combo said he should make the required order. P.DVERTISEIIENT.] To the Editor of the Sun. SIR,--I pointed out last week the folly of the par,lt, in Government securities. Speculators are now talking of the probability of the Bank of England raising the rate of discount, which it decidedly will not do, for these reasons : Money is plentiful at the present rate. Trade is sound, without speewati o „. The quarter's revenue will show a large increase. The last of the loans has been fully paid up without difficulty. The public deposits., the private deposit, and tLe reserve of notes, have all increased considerably. A. C. blorley's Hotel, Sept. 22, 1856.

The imports are expected to be liberal during the next two or three months. The receipts of home-fed beasts fresh up to-day were seesonably good as to number, but somewhat deficient in quality. The attendance of butchers was moderately ex tensive. For most breeds the demand, however, was by no means so active as on Friday, on which day the quota tions advanced 2d per Blbs. ; nevertheless, prices generally were mostly supported. The top figure for the best Scots, which were unusually scarce, was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,200 shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 603 of various breeds; from Ireland, 480 oxen; and from Scotland, 53 Scots. The show of all breeds of sheep was but moderate, and their condition was by no means first-rate. The primest Downs and half-breds changed hands steadily, at prices quite equal to those realised on Monday last. Otherwise, the mutton trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quota tions of 2d per 81bs. There were 480 Irish sheep on offer. Calves, the show of which was limited, sold steadily, and last week's prices were well supported. The highest quotation was 4s 101 l per 81be. We had a slight improvement in the demand for pigs, and prices were quiteas high as last week.

A PROJECTED RIVAb TO THE TIMES. A meeting for the purpose of carrying out the above singular project was held at Swansea last week. The Rev. David Thomas, of Stockwell, in the course of explanations, said—People did not now read volumes, but pamphlets, and especially newspapers—so much so that the daily Times has been called the bible of England—hence its influ ence was immense. They all knew with what ease the Times ig,nored great questions—how it blew hot or cold o n several fundamental points—how it could turn round—it was not, in fact, guided by the pole star of honesty, rectitude, and human justice. Any scheme, therefore, which would improve this state of things was deserving the attention and respect of every man who loved his country. Mr. Thomas then proceeded to explain the nature of the pro posed scheme. It was the establishment of a first class newqmper, to be called The Dial, which would be formed under the Limited Liability Act. The speaker then read copious extracts from the prospec tus, after which he remarked that failure was al most impossible. The pt-id-up capital would amount to no less than &AWOL, and this large amount would buy not only the test type, the best paper, the best ink, but it would buy the best talent, the best brains, and the, best experience. But not only bad they the advantage of this largo sum of money. but this would be su: scribed by about 100,000, all of whom would naturally be inquiring for The Dial. The principles were enrolled in the deed of settlement, and, therefore, nothing could be put in the paper incompatible with the prospectus. The scheme also secured another thing—that the paper should always be of a high moral tone. They did not want a paper which should be primarily swayed on public questions, not by a sordid calculation of profit and loss, but by consideration cf right and wrong. The scheme would also be a national one; it would take iu men of all classes. On the board were as many Churchmen as Dissenters. Although the paper had only once been advertised they had already got 10,0001., and he believed that in three mouths the whole of the shares would be taken. The scheme was secured from all monopoly by no one person being allowed to take more than 10 shares. A resolution was carried expressing concurrence in the proposed National Newspaper League. —Carmarthen Journal. TUSCANY AND PIEDMONT. We are enabled to place before our readers the following official despatch, which the Piedmontese Government has addressed .to that of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Austrian influence at Florence has for some time past inspired the Tuscan Govern ment with a marked hostility to that of Piedmont, and a number of vexatious and petty insults have been imposed on Sardinian subjects, to which M. Cavour thus replies : " TURIN, Sept. 5, 1856. "Although the Tuscan Government has for some time past accustomed his Majesty's Government to that dis• play of scant courtesy, not to use stronger language, which they exhibit towards those Piedmontese subjects who visit the Grand Duchy, nevertheless, I admit that I heard with surprise from your confidential despatches of the date of the 2d inst. the abrupt expulsion from the Tuscan territory of the director and the scholars of the Commercial College of Genoa, who arrived at Florence, having been allowed to disembark at Leghorn, and after having presented their papers duly signed by the Grand Ducal con-ent at Genoa. And my astonishmett was increased by the uou'ual language held to you in this affair by his Excellency Signor Baldasseroni, President of the Council of the Ministry, who, instead of justifying an act which cannot be qualified, addresses complaints and reproaches as inopportune as ill•founc:ed, and which the Government of the King considers it their duty and their right to repudiate by all means within their power. The Tuscan Government has the right of refusing an entry into their State to any one who is not their subject. The Tuscan Government may avail itself of this right towards Sardinian subjects as frequently as it chooses. Fur such acts his Majesty's Government will not make vague complaints, and will willingly leave tiaem to be judged by Europe. Bat what his Majes ty's Government complains of, and with reason, is that Sardinian subjects provided with the proper permission from the competent Tuscan authorities in the Sardinian territory are either refused or turned out of the Grand Duchy, without their having given a legitimate cause of complaint by their conduct. Let the Tuscan Govern ment give its agents accredited to us those instructions as it may deem to harmonise with its policy, but not rc• pudiate them at every moment by sending out from the frontier or interior—and thus doing manifest wrong to their legitimate interests—those who went to Tuscany relying on the assurance of the persons who act and speak legally in the name of the Tuscan Government. "The President of the Grand Ducal Government is not satisfied with the voluntary subscription which is ac tually going on in the Sardinian States for the purpose of making the present to his Majesty's Government of 100 cannons, intended for the fortifications of Alessandria. We regret that a demonstration, whose object is to testify and to increase the confidence that the Piedmontese people putsin their Kingand in their Government, should not meet with the sympathy of him who holds the first place in the Council of a friendly State. We regret that the spontaneous and universal co-operatiodof tire whole people to secure one of the bulwarks of the independence of Piedmont--and we may say also of Italy—should provoke remarks which are not friendly from an Italian Government. But not on that account can we grant to the Tuscan, any /Doi e than to other Governments, the right of demanding explanations relative to an act which does not concern it, and which injures no one, least of all Tuscany, who has nothing to do with the frontiers, for the defence of which the fortifications of Alessandria are destined. "As for the subscription of the 10,000 musketry, you have already made the opportune remark to the Presi dent of the Government of the Grand Duke, that his Ma jesty's Government has stopped that subscription, and that legal proceedings nave been begun to act against the promoters of it. But Chevalier Baldasseroni seems to have manifested a fear that the steps taken by the Sardi nian Government were do mild, and that our laws are inadequate to punish the authors of the offence with the deserved penalty. We are of a different opinion. We believe that our laws provide sufficiently for our internal safety, as well as for our intern:l6.l.a' duties. The Government of the King repels every interpreta tion which might lead to excite the belief that it disturbs abroad, by direct and indirect means, that order and that tranquillity which it has always known how to maintain at home. It is not by the reasonable and temperate eye of moderate liberty that disorders and insurrections are produced. The history of Piedmont in these last years sufficiently proves this. " The Grand Ducal Government knows by experience in how many circumstances Sardinia has assisted effica ciously in preventing disturbances at home and abroad ; and it is certainly not at a moment when just emerging from a bloody and costly war, undertaken for the defence of order, that she can be accused of fomenting disturb ances in her neig!.•bourhood. The Government of the King is well acquainted with the international duties which bind it to the neighbouring States, and it scrupu lously fulfils them. But the Government of the King is not disposed to sacrifice to the demands of others, found ed on exaggerated fears, those liberties which the citi zens of ite State enjoy. "If I rightly understand your account of your conversa tion with the President of the Tuscan Cabinet, it would appear that his excellency expressed himself as meaning to hint to an appeal either to the Cabinets or to the public opinion of Europe. I know not if, having well meditated their case, the Cabinet of Florence still adheres to this in tention. 'Should such be the case, you will inform the Pre sident of the Tuscan Ministry that the Governmentof his Majesty, strong in their rights, conscious of having loyally fulfilled all their duties, and mindful of wrongs unre dressed—does not fear an examination of their acts, which are usually done in broad day. You will inform his Excellency that the opinion of the Cabinets and of the people of Europe is a judge whose competency will never be contrasted by the men who have the honour to sit in the councils of the King of Sardinia. ..._ - " I charge you to send this daspatch to his Excellency Chevalier Baldasseroui, and to give him a copy th ereo f if demanded. (Signed) "C. CAYOUB. "To Chevalier Gianotti, Charge d'Affaires of Sardinia, Florence."
