I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed ter a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing nd. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

JOZEAU'S COPAHINE, or SACCHARATED CAPSITLES.—Copaiba and Cubeba are doubtless the best remedies, but these drugs arc of a repulsive taste and odour, and occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric dis turbance. M. Jozeau has succeeded in rendering these valu able therapeutic agents r erfectly innocuous by increasing in his Copahine an tie curative properties. This preparation has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Medicine, after more than a thousand trials in Pari4 and the different Lon don hospitals, viz., St. Thomas's, Guy's, and St. Bartholo mew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Legros Clark.—" Lancet," Nov. 6 and Dec. 10, 1857.

Her Ma jesty's Coastguards are making use of them as day and night glasses. Their powerful telescopes, 34 inches, with an astro nomical eyepiece, will show distinctly .

SOLOMONS having a thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the eye and ear, and, after the experience and extepsive practice of 4c years , have invented an instrument for extreme cases of Deafness, called the SOUND MAGNIFIER, Organic Vibrator, and Invisible Voice Conductor. It fits into the earnot perceptible ; the un pleasant sensation of singing noises in the head is entirely removed. It affords immediate relief to deaf persons, and enables them to hear distinctly at church, &c. They have also constructed TINTED SPECTACLE LENSES of the greatest transparent brilliancy. The advantage derived is that vision impaired is preserved and strengthened; very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation; can see with them of much less magnify ing power, and do not require the frequent changes to more powerful assistance. 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.

S that because our Reformers had certain ideua, therefore the Church of England, as a religion s has exactly the same ideas now. Still less, are w - eltt-litTrty to go to the Church of the future, and, let it decide the question for us. Prophesy ing is not arguing. People have always been ready enough to prophesy; they have it all their own. way in prophecy, and nobody can contradict them.. Religious speculators have been prophesying for' ages that the world would come round to their opinion, but the world takes its own course notwithstanding. It seems quite certain to some persons that all the world will in due time be scientific in its religious belief. We agree with Lord Macaulay in seeing no signs of such a time approaching. The religious world is tolerably stationary, and shows no great tendency to pro gress or alteration of ground, though individuals in all ages speculate. Let us give over prophesyi ng , then, and look to facts. If Dr. Williams can show the Judicial Committee that the body of the religi ous community in which he is officiating accepts the ideological interpretation of Scripture it will listen with the greatest attention to any evidence he can bring forward, and he will prove his right to officiate in that body. But if the whole weight of evidenc e is on the other side, if it should appear that all parties and schools in the Church join in denouncing this view of Scripture as fundamentally subversive of the faith, and if the congregations will not list en to it for a day, he will then have an uphill affair of it. He may look forward, indeed, to a bright future radiant with ideological truth, and his own learned labours may contribute to bring on that future, but in the meantime he is officiating in a body which is opposed to his whole religious, view of things, aw l / this is an unsatisfactory relation of a minister to his flock. In fact, we must identify his position with that which he assigns to his teacher, the 'me Chevalier Bunsen, whom he describes as " philoso pher, sitting loose to our Articles ;" a position which, however respectable in itself, is hardly consistent with the office of a clergyman of the Church of England.—Times. PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. upon him one of the strongest titles to respect which a man in his high and responsible position can acquire. How imperatively these reforms were re quired, and how great are the difficulties with which the Government is surrounded, is amply proved by its increasing debts, in addition to which may be placed the fact that the revenues of the next three months have already been anticipated, two months thereof being of the new financial year, which com mences on the 10th of September. Dr. Forbes and Mr. Haywood, the Secretary of the Cotton Supply Association, arrived here by last mail, and in the course of the next day or two will probably have an interview with the Viceroy. There is no doubt that the production of cotton in this country might be very greatly increased, though I do not think there is any chance of attaining the object by a displacement of other crops. If it were desired to introduce something entirely new, there would no doubt be a large amount of obstinate pre judice to overcome, but it would be a mistake to imagine that the Fellahs do not possess a lively appreciation of the respective profits and advantages they derive from the various crops they are in the habit of growing, if the balance were in favour of cotton, it would require no pressure whatever from without to stimulate its culture in preference to grain, pulse, or other arti cles. I apprehend it will be found that the pro. duction of Egyptian cotton can be increased to any material extent by only two means—the one by introducing the growth of short stapled cottons, whereby a heavier crop would be gathered off the same breadth o f l an d ; and the ot h er b y b r i ng ing fresh lands into c u lti vat i on. Th e fi rst i s , o f cour se, amere question of p ro fit an d l oss, upon w hi c h, as yet, ° b Pinionslare gre a tl y di v id e d , an d w hi c h can only e settled by actual experiment. A fair trial must, however, before long be made, and herein the Viceroy, as well as some of the large landed proprietors of his family, may be able to give some useful assistance. With regard to an extension of cultivation, the obstacles arise chiefly from the scarcity of hands and of capital. The want of labour might be par tially remedied by the introduction of improved machinery, especially for separating the cotton from the seed. The M'Carthy gin has already been, to some small extent, brought into use upon the estates of the large landholders, and with a considerable degree of success ; but, whether it be owing to mere prejudice or to some more substan tial reason, it is found that the greater number of the Manchester spinners object to it, and although there are a few who actually give it the preference over cotton cleaned by the old method, upon the whole the produce of the M'Carthy gin has to be disposed of at lower prices, and is, moreover, of much slower sale. With regard to the want of capital, the difficulty might be met by offering advances to the villagers on fair terms. A system of supplying money to the fellahs already exists, though to an insufficient ex tent. The business is chiefly carried on by Greek and Levantine traders ; but owing perhaps partly to the great difficulty that is often experienced in obtaining reimbursements, either in money or in goods, the advances are made at such exorbitant rates that even 3 or 4 per cent. per month is con sidered moderate. In this matter, should it be deemed proper to enter into arrangements for the purpose, the Go vernment might possibly render some useful assist ance by enforcing and, to some extent, superintend ing the observance of the contract that might be entered into by the villagers; but I believe that any such undertaking would be altogether foreign to the views of the Cotton Supply Association, and it must be confessed that it would probably be found difficult to carry it on under any system not open to objection. THE BISHOP OFSALISBURY'S CHARGE. The Bishop of Salisbury is now before the world as the Bishop who has resolved to bell the cat. He tells us in his charge, just delivered, the rea sons for this resolution, as well as those which made him hesitate in taking it. They are briefly that, though " the Church allows great latitude, there must be a limit somewhere ;" and that the whole bench of Bishops and Convocation have de clared that the Essays and Reviews have exceeded that limit. Accordingly he does not consider that he has any option as the ruler of a diocess, respon sible for the teaching that goes on in it, but that of giving force to this declaration. We do not envy any party in this affair its share in the responsibility of it—not the writers for stir ring up these questions to begin with, not the Bishops for pursuing them, and still less the respon sibility of the Judicial Committee in deciding them. They are new questions, and, whichever way they are settled, there must be a recourse to large consi derations and general principles. It will be abso lutely ridiculous to see a row of ex-Chancellors and Judges poring over all the Articles and Canons to see what clause, paragraph, and section is opposed to the " ideological" interpretation of the Book of Jonah. It is a large and general question of the interpretation of Scripture which is now opened. It is a new question—a question we cannot say exactly of the day, for it has been agitated long, but of the age ; a question which had not arisen in our Reformers' times, and of which they had no notion. It is absurd to expect, therefore, that the more letter of Articles and Canons will throw much light upon it. In these documents there is not the most distant allusion anywhere to what is called the ideological interpretation of Scripture, simply because the idea had not been mooted in those days. The Articles, therefore, nowhere condemn that idea ; at the same time, they imply throughout the contrary idea. Nobody can doubt for a moment that all the Church formularies and services suppose throughout the ordinary, natural, literal interpre tation of the Bible; though, admitting this, some will say it is for the same season,—that no other idea had arisen at that time. This is the state of the case, then. There is no express condemnation of a particular view, but there is everywhere imply ing the contrary view. Each side, then, will appeal to what favours itself, and will also explain on its own principles what is against itself. The Bishop of Salisbury appeals to the implied literal view, and to the way in which the Bible is used and read in our Services. The Essayist says, " True, but wherever the Bible is road, out of church or in church, this liberty of interpretation accompanies it. Here is the debatable ground, then, on which both sides will fight. We will not anticipate the alter nations of the combat, but this much, as We have said, is apparent,—that this question cannot be settled by the mere letter of our formularies, and 1 that recourse must be had to large and general con sideration. The question is what is, as a matter of ' fact, the belief of the Church of England on this question, and by the belief of the Church we do not mean the belief of the Bishops or the belief of Con vocation, but the belief of the congregations which compose the actual religious community called the Church of England. Dr. Rowland Williams will excuse us if we say that, with one broadly-marked exception, there is not a .single Dissenting sect in this country that would tolerate his scheme of Bible interpretation for a day ; but it does not follow from this that the Church of England does not tolerate it. The Church may be, rind we believe it is, a more tolerant body than any Dissenting sect in this country. But the question is, how f ar this goes —what is the actual belief of the body of people who compose that Church,—and this, as wesay, • a simple question of fact whi c h we is must decide itn i the best way we can. B u t, w hi c h ever wa y is decided, this is the f ac t w hi c h mus t determine whether Dr. Rowland Williams has opinions suit able and proper for a minister of the Church of England or not. There can be no doubt as to the general principle that a minister of a com munion ought to have the same belief that the communion has ; for it never could be designed that the minister should be of one religion and the community of another: Nor would it be anything to the purpose to say that, if the Church of England is not of Dr. Williams' way of thinking now, it will be so a hundre ds y ears hence, because truth ' must prevail. For, supposing the Church by a course of indoctrinating were brought round to the ideological view a century hence, the question is—what is her belief now ? If, on the one hand, she repudiates Transubstantiation, Mariola try, and Papal infallibility, does she, on the other, permit every article of the Christian faith to be ex lained away and volatilzed by some new process P of theological chemistry? Dr. Rowland Williams is, we have no doubt, an excellent scholar and an ingenious divine ; nor do we enter at this moment into the question whether he is right or wrong. It is evident, however, that if upon a plain and lucid exposition of his mode of interpreting the Bible nine. tenths of his congregation would shut their ears and rush out of the church, he is not a suitable and advantageous minister for the parish of Broad Chalk. It is upon some such grounds of ecclesiastical equity as we have here mentioned that this question must be settled. We must not be roman tic, and go exclusively to the past ; nor must i we be visionarwey, havee t and atotezeapie i attempt to a question of forestall the future.

By the arrival of the overland mail, we have ad vices from Bombay to July 12, and from Calcutta via Bombay to Tune 26. Rain has fallen in great abundance all over India. The present season bids fair in this respect to form a parallel to that which succeeded the famine of 1837-38. In some places the young rice plants, the sugar cane, and the indigo plants have suffered severely. The total fall of rain in Bombay amounts to about 45 inches. The Famine Relief Committees are performing their labours well in the North-West Provinces. Nearly 10,000 people are being daily fed with cooked food in Delhi alone, and fully that number in the district are relieved in the same way. About 1,000 poor widows obtain weekly relief in money, at the Delhi Gate. One thousand rupees a month are distributed to families of respectability now reduced to poverty, but ashamed to be seen seeking charity. About 10,000 persons are employed daily in some kind of work by the Relief Society and Government. At Agra about 2,000 are daily em ployed on the relief works, and on the Futteghur branch of the Ganges Canal about 4,000. So in other places. Great and increasing distress prevails in Pesha wur. Villages are being depopulated. Famine is said to exist in Cabul. There is but little prospect of the Commander-in- Chief in India and the Head Quarters Staff of the Army leaving Calcutta for the hills this year. The Governor-General has called upon the local governments for returns showing the amounts to be realised from every source under the third sec tion of the Income Tax Act—viz., duty of 1 per cent. for reproductive public works up to Ist August neat; and has asked for suggestions as to the best mode of disposing of the amounts. The Governor-General has also called on the local governments for reports containing any sug gestions of alterations or amendments which the practice of the past year has shown to be necessary to the proper working of acts 32 and 39 of 1860, the object of - the reference being to amend the forms and machinery for levying the income tax ; no departure from the principle of levying a direct tax on incomes being contemplated, and no discus sion on such principle being allowed in the replies to the reference. The cash balances in the Government Treasuries of India at the end of April last were :—Govern ment of India, Company's Rs., 2,89,19,909; Ben gal, 2,20,20,584 ; N.W. Provinces, 2,65,28,616 ; Punjab, 1,07,58,115; Madras, 2,33,86,724; Bombay, 3,12,55,230. Total Co.'s Rs. 14,28,69,178, against total in April, 1860, Co.'s Rs. 16,80,17,119; and in 1859 Co.'s Rs. 10,70,70,203. Shermakie, the Somali chief, has been seized by the French, and carried off to Suez, to be tried and probably hanged on the charge of having been accessory to the supposed murder of Mr. Lambert, the French consul, two years ago. The French continue to make themselves very busy in every part of the Red Sea. The King of Bokhara, worsted in an encounter with the rebels, applied to the Russians for aid, and the Russian general directed a large force to proceed to Bokhara. The opportunity has thus occurred for the active interference of the Russians in the political affairs of the States of Central Asia. Dost Mahomed has given orders to his lieutenant, Ufzul Khan, to give all possible aid to the rebels in the event of the Russians assisting the other party. The application of the Kurrachee Chamber of Commerce for the establishment of a direct com munication between Suez and Kurrachee, and for accelerating the mails between Bombay and the latter place, has been rejected by the Secretary of State for India. The following notification we extract from the Calcutta Gazette of the 26th June : " Fort William, June 25, 1861. " His Excellency the Governor-General in Coun cil, under instructions from her Majesty's Govern ment, is pleased to notify that, in order to oblite rate, as far and as soon as possible, the distinctions between officers of her Majesty's British and Indian services, and to afford to such officers of the Indian army as may prefer the conditions of general ser vice an opportunity of obtaining a position in the British army, her Majesty has been pleased to ap prove that, for every vacancy caused in a line regi ment by the transfer of an officer to the staff corps constituted by the royal warrant of the 16th Jan., 1861, a transfer of an officer of corresponding rank in her Majesty's Indian army, who may be disposed to accept of such transfer, should be made to the regiment in which the vacancy takes place. Ap pointments of officers of the Indian army to the vacancies in her Majesty's line regiments will not, however, be made in India even provisionally ; but his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief in India will submit, through the Government of India, for the consideration of his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief, and for submission to Majesty, the name, rank, date of commission, and nature of previous services of the officer whom his excellency may recommend for each vacancy. The officers so transferred will enter her Majesty's line regiments as junior of their respective grades, as is the case with officers of the British army exchanging into regiments of the line, and they will be placed in all respects on the same footing as to pay, half pay, and leave of absence as other officers of her Majesty's British regiments. Officers desirous now or hereafter of being transferred to line regi ments are to submit their application to the com mander-in-chief of the presidency to which they belong through the prescribed channel. The appli cations from officers of the Madras and Bombay armies will be forwarded with the opinions of the governments of those presidencies to the govern ment of India. The Bombay Gazette says :—" India is unques tionably, at the present time, passing through the greatest revolution she ever experienced. Of the great phases of change which her history presents, none is greater than that which is now being pre sented. The change affects the races that are to people the country—the distribution and tenure of property in the soil; the political, social, industrial, intellectual, and religious life of the nation. It is radical and rapid in the working. Perhaps in no country in the world could such material changes be so rapidly made with so much facility and with so little political and social convulsion as in India. The convulsion of 1857-58 were produced in some measure by making English laws and customs too greatly to outstride English ideas and feelings throughout the masses of the populations. This is to be guarded against in future. We must endea vour to make the material and moral changes ad vance pari passu.' If either advance with due cau tion, it will bring up the other ; but if the material advance too rapidly, leaving the moral far in the rear, insecurity and danger will be the result. Let a liberal policy be devised and pursued with refe rence to the education of the people; give greater scope to the directions of public instruction, and allow them to produce greater results. If the whole truth on the subject of education could be known, we should be more careful in selecting teachers than in makihg laws. The country is at present in the full enjoyment of peace, and its attention is wholly turned to the arts of peace. So may it ever lie." We borrow from the Englishman the following account of a trial trian which ran from Howrah to Bhaugulpore on the East India Railway, on the 25th of June last : " We have much pleasure in recordi n g the suc cessful result of a trial train which ran from Howrah to Bhaugulpore on the East I n di a R a il way, on T ues d a y last, the 25th inst. The train left Howrah at 5.15 a.m„ and reached Teen Pahar Junction, dis tance 195 miles, where the branch to Rajmahal turns off, at 11.45 a.m. After a sh or t s t ay at t hi s place, it proceeded on its course over the, a t p resen t, unopened line. From this point the r a il way s ki rts the foot of a magnificent range of hills in a continu ous series of curves, to a station called Maha ra j poor , 14 miles from the junction, and . still followin g th e base of the hills, it passes to Sahib gunge station, 10 miles further on. This station is situated directly on the banks of th e i ! Ganges, and s one of the pret tiest on the whole line. Leaving this the line pa sses on to Searmarree, Peerpointee station, 11 miles- This station is just opposite to Carrighola Ghaut, and will doubtless be the channel through which the Darjeeling traffic will pas, Between s4hib. gunge and this station the line passes through, and by, the old Fort of Teleagurie, which must formerly have been of great extent and strength, and now forms a most picturesque ruin. The next station is Colgong, 15 miles from Searmaree ; this is situated close on the banks of the Ganges, and from the rail way a beautiful view of the celebrated Colgong rocks, rising up from the centre of the river, is obtained. Passing on from Colgong to Ghoga station, six miles, the line is carried on over steep embankments in order to keep it above the influence of the inunda tion of the Ganges, which here overflows the adja cent country for a considerable extent. From Ghoga to Bhaugulpore station, 13 miles, the line is con struct ed in a similar manner ; the works all along being of a very heavy description. " The whole distance from Teen Pabar Junction to Bhaugulpore, 69 miles, was accompli s h e d, exclu sive of stoppages, in three hours and a half, the train arriving at 4.15 p.m. At Bhaugulpore triumphal arches of evergreens had been erected across the line, and the whole population turned out to welcome the first engine and train ever seen at that station. In the evening the whole party and station were entertained by the engineers of the railway, the enjoyment being considerably en hanced, after the heat of the day, by a plentiful supply of ice that had only left Calcutta that morn ing." vessel fitted up for slaves in the Congo river, and had also seized a Spanish schooner named the Jacinto. Her Majesty's ship Wrangler had chased and captured a large American barque, supposed to be the Ardennes, with 495 slaves on board. The notorious slaver Storm King had again done a clever stroke of business, and bamboozled both the American and British cruisers. This vessel, which is reported to have made in three years up wards of 2,000,000 dollars, went into Mango Grande with a legal . cargo on board, assuming a trading cruise, but finding that there were slaves to be ob tained had thrown her cargo overboard, shipped a large number of slaves, and got away clear. The steam-vessel Miramon (formerly Greenock) had shipped a cargo of slaves at Kasinda in four hours, using American, Spanish, and Portuguese colours to suit the cruisers she happened to meet. Everything is done under the American flag until the slaves are actually on board, so that the two or three English cruisers have very little chance to take prizes or check the trade. In regard to trade on the coast, the natives say the present season is the best for oil ever known. The barque Warrior, of Bristol, Capt. Johns, parted her cables at Badagry and went on shore. Mate and one hand drowned; vessel a total wreck. At the time of the accident there were eight vessels at anchor close by (six of which were English), not one of which lowered a boat or rendered the least assistance. The screw steamer Advance, in crossing the bar at Lagos, was struck by a sea, which did consider able damage, broke one man's leg, wounded the engineer, and several others. Her Majesty's ships Prometheus, Ranger, and Buffalo were at Fernando Po, as were also the United States ships San Jacinto and Sumpter. Her Majesty's ship Dover was at Bathurst. Among the passengers brought by the Ethiope from Madeira was Lord and Lady Massareene. The Falcon war sloop was at Cape Palmas, and the Torch at Sierra Leone. The Ethiope brings on freight 2,500 ounces gold dust and a full cargo, including 4,000 puncheons palm oil. STATE OF EGYPT. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) ALEXANDRIA, JULY 29. A very great change, and I trust I may venture to say a hopeful one, has taken place in the aspects of Egyptian financial affairs since I last wrote. Shortly after the despatch of my letter Draneht Bey, the Viceroy's agent, returned from Paris, ac companied by two gentlemen, empowered by M. Lafitte to explain the terms under which they were prepared to furnish the loan. The floating debts of the Government appear to have been stated at about £7,120,000, comprising, I am informed, the amount of last year's loan of £1,120,000, but exclusive of £2,840,000, the Vice roy's present liabiiites to the Suez Canal Company. Messrs. Lafitte proposed that the Government should deposit with them Treasury Bonds of 500 f. each, bearing 5 per cent. interest to the amount of £11,000,000 sterling. These bonds to be negotiated at 40 per cent. discouut, producing, therefore, 300 f. each. A commission of 6 per cent. on the gross amount of the stock, to be paid to the Comptoir d'Escompte, and another of 11 per cent., to be paid to Messrs. Lafitte, upon all sums passing through their hands during the existence of the contract. A sinking fund was to be formed, by means of which the whole of the debt, both principal and interest, would be liquidated in the course of about 30 years. The Egyptian Government was to bind itself to incur no further liabilities of any kind whatsoever. Annual budgets were to be prepared, under the superintendence of two commissioners, to be named for the purpose by the Parisian bankers, or rather, I presume, by the Comptoir d'Escompte, which on this occasion, as on the previous one, would have been the real negotia tors of the loan. These commissioners were likewise to exercise general supervision over all the financial operations of the Government; and, finally, the revenues of the Delta were to be specially reserved and assigned over for the purpose of meeting the annual charges, estimated at 16,000,000 f. during the first 15 years, and at 23,000,000 f. per annum during the remaining half of the time stipulated for the redemption of the debt. From the above it does not appear that the pro duce of the loan would have been sufficient to enable the Government to free itself from the whole of its present liabilities ; but I have heard some further arrangements spoken of, by means of which Messrs. Lafitte would have assumed to themselves the liabilities of the Viceroy towards the Suez Canal Company. Looking at the proposals I have described from simply a commercial point of view, it can hardly be said that the conditions were more stringent than the circumstances of the case would justify, and, indeed, it may be held that Messrs. Lafitte and the Comptoir d'Escompte, by thus practically indicat ing to the Egyptian Government the issue towards which it has been drifting, have rendered the country a real service. But the prospects thus opened to the Viceroy's view have proved most uninviting ; and he has determined upon having recourse to some other remedy. All negotiations, excepting those for the repayment of last year's loan of 28,000,000 f., have accordingly been com pletely broken off, and a system of sweeping reforms has been announced, which, if they are persevered in with only one-half the energy that attends their initiation, must beyond a doubt powerfully tend to replace the affairs of the country in as flourishing a position as they ever occupied before, or, indeed, even more so. The army is to be reduced to a standing force of at most 5,000 men, and the greater number of the police zabtieths have been dismissed and their duties at Alexandria and Cairo are hence forward to be performed by regular soldiers. No supplies are to be commissioned excepting they be articles of absolute necessity, and circulars have been sent to the consuls (a significant hint to many among them) to inform them that henceforward all stores required by the Government will be advertised for under a system of sealed tenders. Neither does the palace escape its full share of necessary reform. Said Pasha is reducing his 'household to the lowest possible limits. His stud of horses is to be reduced to a dozen or 15 animals ; all superfluous plate, even the silver helmets of the Pasha's regiment of Cuiras siers, have been sent off the Mint to be converted into coin ; in short, whether or not the example of the Sultan has anything to do with the matter, it is plain that here we are about fairly to outherod Herod. 1 need hardly say that there are not a few per sons who shake their heads and predict a speedy termination to the present mood, and, indeed, I must in candour admit that they can quote only too many instances indicative of the extreme ver satility of the Viceroy's character. Already , we have a strange story that a large number of the soldiers who, to their intense and somewhat tumul tuous joy, were disbanded on the 26th, were re captured on the same and on the following days. Orders had been sent off by telegraph to the several stations along the line to stop them wherever they could be found. They were accordingly brought up to the stations, those among them who showed any signs of opposition, chained together in the usual manner, and, as an eye - wit ness described it, wearing anything but an amiable expression on their faces. I believe a few of the men were deserters; but the real explanation of this strange and deplorable proceeding seems to be that a far greater number was dismissed than was actually intended. There had been hopes that a portion would volunteer, or at least, show some disposition to remain, and be incorporated in the small force which, as I have already stated, is to be retained. These hopes were disappointed, and a number of the soldiers have had to be reimpressed in the usual manner. The failure of the loan has necessarily reacted upon the value of Government bonds and serdjis. .Under the anticipation that the Viceroy would be in a position to recall them, the rates of discount were rapidly . declining. Since then they have again risen to nearly their former rates, being now at from 101 to 13 per cent. per annum. Time will show whether Said Pasha is seriously bent upon seeking the means of extricating his country from her truly dangerous situation. In opposition to those who took a more despondent view of the matter, it may rent inconsistencies, be remarked that the Viceroy, with many app a is far from being deficient in shrewdness, and even in solid good sense. The merit of the decision he has come to is entirely his own, and every one must feel that perseverance in the wise course to which he has openly committed himself, though, perhaps with as yet no further settled plan, will confer WEST COAST OF AFRICA. The Royal Mail steamship Ethiope, A. P. French, commander, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday from the West Coast of Africa, Teneriffe, and Ma deira. Her dates are :—Old Calabar, June 29 ; Camaroons, July 1 ; Fernando Po, 2; Bonny, 6; Brass and Nun, 7 ; Benin, 8 ; Lagos, 10; Accra, 12 ; Cape Coast, 14 ; Cape Palmas, 17 ; Sierra Leone, 21; Bathurst, 25 ; Teneriffe, 31 ; and Ma deira, August 2. The news by the steamer is rather important, and it shows that the slave trade, so far from de creasing, is rapidly reviving, and that the illegal traffic is carried on chiefly under the American flag. At Porto Novo matters continued unsettled, and the West African Herald gives the following de scription of the battle of Porto Novo : "It has already been recorded in this journal four months ago, that the late Mr. Foote, her Ma jesty's consul at Lagos, went up to Porto Novo in the gunboat Brune, for the purpose of negotiating with the king of that place. The king having re fused to accede to the terms of the treaty, and treating the consul's message with contempt, Mr. Foote caused a shot to be fired over the town, and the Brune left the place. The Porto-Novians, much elated at the departure of the Brune, congra tulated themselves, and declared that if the vessel came again they would have her up on the beach, and convert her into a war-canoe for the king. On the 2Gth of April last the consul went up with a considerable force to recommence hostilities. Com modore Edmonstone commanded in person. The force consisted of her Majesty's ships Bloodhound, Brune, and the Fideliter. The Bloodhound could not get further up the lagoon than Beechy, so that the Brune and Fidelitcr had it all to do themselves. They were assisted by ten boats. The Porto-No vians mustered in large force on the banks of the lagoon." The following is from the native journal Iwe Irollin, published at Abbeokuta : " The expedition consisted of the Brune and Fideliter. Each of'these had attached to it a num ber of boats—ten, it is stated. Four of these were armed with 24 and 12-pounder howitzers, the re maining six were rocket boats. The expedition reached the barrier above Badagry at four p.m. on the afternoon of Thursday, and after two hours' hard work pulling and hauling the sailors effected a narrow passage, which was forced by the Fideli ter. She was immediately followed by the Brune, and thus in the space of two hours and a half was overcome what it had taken the Porto Novians six weeks and more to prepare. Some Iso canoes made a miserable attempt to save their reputation by firing a few shots, but a rocket or two from the long 52 of the Brune sent them flying up the river at their best pace. Next morning at seven a,m. the flotilla had reached Porto Novo ; and as soon as they came abreast of the town a heavy musketry fire was opened upon them from both sides of the river, which, however, was not replied to by the English for some little time. When once the boats opened fire with rockets, shell, and shot, it was vigorous and well directed, so much so that within an hour the town was in flames, which gradually increased until they rose high above the lofty trees that hitherto afforded the inhabitants grateful shade. The Iso canoes again took to flight, and remained through the day far out of gunshot, and watched the game of war in tolerable security. The boats of the squadron were in two divisions, one under the commodore, the second under Capt. Raby, of her Majesty's ship Alecto. Finding the town burning furiously in their rear, the defenders -of this den of infamy ran for the beach, and advan tage was taken of this by Captain Raby, V.C., who was in his gig with two mer, , to land and spike a gun—not, however, without being severely wounded by the explosion of the gun during the act of spik ing. Seeing that the natives had not plucked up courage to cut off this party, permission was given to about 50 marines and blue jackets to land, in order to set on fire some well-built houses that had hitherto withstood the rockets and flames. The landing was effected without molestation, and a new quarter of the town was thereby set fire to. It appears that the warriors had not up to this time retreated from the town, f or Captain A. T. encountered one he shot with his standing d in e a s t d 0 I o n r di w a a y R , e w g h i m o m e n t , revolver, and met a second, whom he was about also to despatch, when his revolver missed fire, and had the native rushed at him he must have cut him down before he could draw his sword ; but, deeming prudence the better part of valour, he took to his heels and hid himself. _ town now being in this quarter thoroughly fired,at 11.30 the troops re - embarked, and returned to their ships and dined. At 1 o'clock, being re freshed, and a fresh supply of ammunition served out, the boats of Captain Baby's division formed in line abreast, and advanced within 15 yards of the reeds from whence the natives still kept up a brisk fire from a point rather lower than where the gun boats had anchored, and where it was subsequently discovered they had an ambuscade. From this point it was found difficult to dislodg e th em , unt il rockets and round shot found out their weak point, and sent omm flying th i e n ir al r l e d t i r r e e a c t t i i n o g ranks directions . by the . Great havoc was gr ape and canister of the boats , as well as the c them it e d n well directed shot of the marines. The opportunity was now seized upon by Captains Baby and Jones to land and spike a second gun and carry off their last flag. It was now seen how great had been the havoc inflicted upon the enemy, by whose own ac count they admit their loss to be 1,000 kill e d an d as many wounded. After this the firing became very weak and desultory, so the English amused themselves by firing shot and shell at the principal houses left standing. About 4 p.m. the gunboats and flotilla steamed away for Lagos and rejoined the squadron outside the bar. The vessels compos ing it have since steamed off in various directions. The loss on the side of the English was only one man killed and five slightly wounded." From Fernando Po we learn that her Majesty's ship Prometheus, Comma n de r Bedingfield, senior officer from o f the the Southsouth , been e had arrived relieved by the Alecto, Captain Raby. The Prometheus reports the south coast very unhealthy, and several there Europeans had died in the Congo at Fish Bay and other places. The slave trade, notwithstanding the most diligent and watchful exertions of the cruisers, continued very brisk, in consequence of which all legitimate commerce was dull, and it was even an ticipated that some of the factories on the coast would have to close. Captain Bedingfield, who had been, while on the south station, in active co-opera tion with the American squadron, h ad taken two THEITALIANPTROTES T. The Nationalites publishes the text of the Ita lian protest against the occupation of Rome, as fol lows : " The undersigned Italian citizens, in the name of that duty which imposes upon them the obligation of endeavouring, by pacific means and the manifes tation of public opinion, to obtain that indepen dence which they would be justified in asserting by arms in the case of any other foreign power, and in the name of that right which all have, to win—the unity of their country and capital, solemnly protest against the occupation of Rome by the French troops : Because by the traditions of the nation and the opinion of all Europe, Rome is designed to be, the capital of Italy ; because, as long as the Frencti troops shall be in the occupation of Rome, the national right of Italy is not recognised, the Italian question remains based on a fact half accomplished, and no one can oppose, by external force, the efforts of Italy and other foreign powers against the libe rated provinces of Italy ; because Rome now is, and. will continue to be, while the occupation lasts, the centre of every reactionary conspiracy which gives life to the civil war in the south of Italy, and tends to give birth to anarchy where the enthusiasm of liberty and of unity had given birth to concord ; because at Rome alone, from the memory of its magical associations and the respect of all for them, we can only finally appease those petty disputes which are kept up to the detriment of unity, and put an end to the pretensions of every other city ; because 22,000,000 of Italians ought not and cannot allow Rome to remain severed and in servitude whilst they are free and independent, the prolonged delay of the French in Rome can only give occa sion to quarrels and struggles between two nations, which, for the good of all and by their fraternity on the field of battle, ought to exist in a relationship of mutual love and reciprocal support ; because the continu ance of the occupation of Rome is a formal denial of promises made and recent declarations on the part of France ; because there exists no motive for this occupation—no motive of the defence of religion which nobody dreams of attacking, and which the support of foreign bayonets tarnishes and dishonours—none for the protection of the Pope's person, which nobody threatens, and which Italy is ready to protect ; because a prolonged occupation for twelve years without any reasonable motives is equivalent to a conquest of territory which neither Italy nor Europe can allow ; because the continuance of the French troops in Rome is a formal violation of the principle of non-intervention proclaimed by England and France herself, because Italy belonged to the Italians, and not to strangers, whoever they may be. The undersigned address this protest to France, which fought a short time since for the independence of Italy from the Alps to the sea ; to England, which first proclaimed the principle of non-intervention ; to all Europe, which has hailed with marked interest the return of Italy to a collective national life—a life to which the in definite and arbitrary occupation of Rome would be a formidable menace and danger." ITALIAN EXHIBITION, 1861. The Government of the King of Italy have re solved to hold an Exhibition of Art and Industry at Florence in the ensuing months of September and October. _ _ _ Italy will see for the first time the works of her artists and the products of her industry collected together under the roof of a Crystal Palace.
