IRE CIVIL IVA.R IN AMERICA. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) FORT PICKENS AND PENSACOLA. A VISIT TO BOTH CAMPS. MOBILE, MAY 18. I avail myself of the departure of a gentleman who is going to New York by the shortest route he can find to send you the accompanying letters. The mails are stopped ; so are the telegraphs ; and it is doubtful whether I can get to New Orleans by water. Of what I saw at Fort Pickens and Pensacola here is an account, written in a very hurried manner, and under very peculiar circumstances. TUESDAY, MAY 14. Two New Orleans gentlemen who came overland from Pensacola yesterday give such an account of their miseries from heat, dust, sand, and want of accommodation in the dreary waste through which they passed for more than 17 hours, that I sought out some other way of going there, and at last heard of a small schooner, called the Diana, which would gladly undertake to run round by sea, if permitted to enter by the blockading squadron. She was neither clean nor neat-looking; her cap tain, a tall, wild-haired young man, had more the air of a mechanic than of a sailor, but he knew his business well, as the result of the voyage showed. His crew consisted of three men and a negro cook. Three gentlemen of Mobile, who were anxious to visit General Bragg's camp, agreed to join me, but before I sail e d I o bt a i ne d a promise that they would not violate the character of neu trals as long as they were with me, and an assur ance that they were not in any way engaged in or employed by the Confederate States forces. " Surely you will not have Mr. R- hanged, Sir ?" said the Mayor of Mobile to me when I told him I could not consent to pass off the gentleman in question as a private friend. " No, I shall do nothing to get Mr. It- hanged. It will be his own act which causes it, but I will not allow Mr. It- to accompany me under false pretences." Having concluded our bargain with the skipper at a tolerably fair rate, and laid in a stock of stores and provisions, the party sailed from Mobile at 5 in the evening of Tuesday, May 14, with the flag of the Confederate States flying ; but, as a precautionary measure, I borrowed from our acting Consul, Mr. Magee, a British ensign, which, with a flag of truce would win the favourable consideration of the United States squadron. Our craft, the somewhat Dutch build of which gave no great promise of speed, to my surprise and pleasure came up with the lights of Fort Morgan at 9 o'clock, and we were allowed to pass unchallenged through a " swash," as a narrow channel over the bar is called, which, despite the absence of beacons and buoys, our skip per shot through under the guidance of a sounding pole, which gave, at various plunges, but few inches to spare. The shore is as flat as a pancake—a belt of white sand, covered with drift logs and timber, and with a pine forest ; not a house or human habitation of any sort to be seen for 40 miles, from Fort Morgan to the entrance of the harbour of Pensacola ; cheer less, miserable, full of swamps, the haunts of alli gators, cranes, snakes, and pelicans ; with lagoons, such as the Perdida, swelling into inland seas ; deep buried in pine woods, and known only to wild creatures and to the old Filibusters—swanning with mosquitoes. As the Diana rushed along within a quarter of a mile of this grim shore, great fish flew off from the shallows, and once a shining gleam flashed along the waters and winged its way along side the little craft—a monster shark, which ploughed through the sea pari passe for some hun dred yards leeward of the craft, and distinctly 'visible in the wonderful phosphorescence around it, and then dashed away with a trail of light seaward, on some errand of voracity, with tremendous force and vigour. The wretched Spaniards who came to this ill-named Florida must often have cursed their stars. How rejoiced were they when the Government of the United States relieved them from their dominion ! Once during the night some lights were seen on shore, as if from a camp fire. Tnc skipper proposed to load an old iron carronadc and blaze away at them, and one of the party actually got out his revolver to fire, but I objected very strongly to these valorous proceed ings, and, suggesting that they might be friends who were there, and that, friends or foes, they were sure to return our fire, succeeded in calming the martial ardour on board the Diana. The fires were very probably made by some of the horsemen lately sent out by Gen. Bragg to patrol the coast, but the skipper said that in all his lifelong experience he had never seen a human creature or a light on that shore before. The wind was so favourable, and the Diana so fast, that she would have run into the midst of the United States squadron off Fort Pickens had she pursued her course. Therefore, when she was within about 10 miles of the station she hove to, and lay off and on for about two hours. Before dawn the sails were filled, and off she went once more, bowling along merrily, till within the first blush of day there came in sight Fort M'Rae, Fort Pickens, and the masts of the squadron, just rising 1 above the blended horizon of low shore and sea. The former, which is on the western shore of the mainland, is in the hands of the Confederate troops. The latter is just opposite to it, on the extremity of the sandbank called Santa Rosa Island, which for 45 miles runs in a belt parallel to the shore of Florida, at a distance varying from 11 to 4 miles. To make smooth water of it, the schooner made several tacks shorewards. In the second of these tacks the subtle entrance of Perdida Creek is pointed out, which, after several serpentine and re-entering undulations of channel, one of which is only sepa rated from the sea for a mile or more by a thin wall of sandbank, widens to meet the discharge of a tolerably spacious inland lake. The Perdida is the dividing line between the States of Alabama and Florida. The flagstaff of Fort M'Rae soon becomes visible, and in fainter outline beyond it that of Fort Pickens and the hulls of the fleet, in which one can make out three war steamers, a frigate, and a sloop of war, and then the sharp -set canvas of a schooner, the police craft of this beat, bearing down upon us. The skipper, with some uneasiness, announces the small schooner that is sailing in the wind's eye as the " Oriental," and confesses to having already been challenged and warned off by her sentinel master. We promised him i mmunity for the past and safety for the future, and, easing oil the main sheet, he lays the Diana on h er course for the fleet. Fort M'Rae, one of the 'obsolete school of fast nesses, rounds up on our left. Beyond it, on the shore, is Barrancas, a square-faced work, half a mile further up the channel , and more immediately facing Fort Pickens. A thick wood crowns the low shore which trends away to the eastward, but amid the sand the glass can trace the outlines of batteries. Pretty-looking detached houses line th e . beach ; some loftier edifices gather close up to the shelter of a tall chimney which is vomiting out clouds of smoke, and a few masts and spars checker the white fronts of the larg e b u ildi ngs an d s heds, which, with a big shears, indicate the position of the navy-yard of Warrington, commonly called that of Pensacola, although the place of that name lies several miles up the creek. Fort M‘Rae seems to have sunk at the foundations ; the crowns of many of the case mates are cracked, and the water face is poor-look ing. Fort Pickens, on the contrary, is a solid, substantial-looking work, and reminds one some thing of Fort Paul at Sebastopol, as seen from the sea, except that it has only one tier of casemates, and is not so high. As the Oriental approaches, the Diana throws her foresail aback, and the pretty little craft, with a full-sized United States ensign flying, and the muzzle of a brass howitzer peepi ng over her forecastle, ranges up luff, and taking an easy sweep lies to alongside us. A boat is lowered from her and is soon alongside, steered by an officer ; her crew are armed to the teeth with pistols and cutlasses. " Ah, I think I have seen you before. What schooner is this ?" " The Diana, from Mobile." The officer steps on deck and announces himself as Mr. Brown, Master in the United States navy, in charge of the boarding vessel Oriental. The crew secure their boat and step up after him. The skipper, looking very sulky, hands his papers to the officer. "Now , sir, make sail, an d li e to under the quarter of that steamer, the guardship Powhattan." courteous when. h e Mr. Brown was exceedingly heard who the party - were. The Mobilians, how ever, looked as black as thunder ; nor were they at all better pleased when they heard the skipper ask if he did not know there was a strict blockade of the port. The Powhattan is a paddle steamer of 2,200 tons and 10 guns, and is known to our service as the flag ship of Commodore Tatnall, in Chinese waters, when that gallant veteran gave us timely and kindly proof of the truth of his well known ex pression, " Blood is thicker than water." Upon her spar deck there is a stout, healthy-looking crew, which seems quite able to attend to her ar mament of 10 heavy 10-inch Dahlgren Columbiads, and the formidable 11 inches of the same family on the forecastle. Her commander, Captain Porter, though only a Lieutenant commanding, has seen an age of active service, both in the navy and in the merchant steam marine service, to which he was detailed for six or seven years after the discovery of California. The party were ushered into the cabin, and Capt. Porter received them with perfect courtesy, heard our names and object, and then entered into general conversation, in which the Mobilians, thawed by his sailorly frankness, gra dually joined, ai well as they could. Over and over again must acknowledge the exceeding politeness and civility with which your correspondent , has been received by the authorities on both sides in this unhappy war. Though but little beyond the age of 40, Captain Porter has been long enough in the navy to have imbibed some of those prejudices which by the pro fane arestigmatised as fogyisms. Until the day pre vious he had, he told me, felt disposed to condemn rifled cannon of a small calibre as " gimcracks," but had been rapidly converted to the " Armstrong faith," by the following experiment. He was making target practice with his:heavy guns at a distance of some 2,600 yards. At anything like a moderate elevation the:experiment was unsatisfactory, and while his gunners were essaying to harmonise cause and effect, the charge and the elevation, he be thought him of a little rifled brass plaything which Captain Dahlgren had sent on board a day or two before his departure. To his astonishment the ball, after careering until he thought " it would never stop going," struck the water 1,000 yards be yond the target, and established a reputation he had never believed possible for a howitzer of 61b. calibre carrying a 121 b bolt. He observed that the ancient walls of Fort APRae would not resist this new mis sile for half an hour. If it comes to fighting you will hear more of the Powhattan and Captain Porter. He has been re peatedly in the harbour and along the enemy's works at night in his boat and knows their position thoroughly, and he showed me on his chart the various spots marked off whence he can sweep their works and do them immense mischief. " The Pow hattan is old, and if she sinks I can't help it." She is all ready for action ; boarding nettings triced up, fieldpieces and howitzers prepared against night boarding, and the whole of her bows padded inter nally, with dead wood and sails, so as to prevent her main deck being raked as she stands stern on towards the forts. Her crew are as fine a set of men as ever I have seen of late days on board a man-of war. They are healthy, well fed, regularly paid, and can be relied on to do their duty to a man. As far as I could judge, the impression of the officers was that General Bragg would not be rash enough to expose himself to the heavy chastisement which, in their belief, awaits him if he is rash enough to open fire upon Fort Pickens. As Captain Porter is not the senior officer of the fleet he signaled to the flag-ship and was desired to send us on board. One more prize has been made this morning—a little schooner with a crew of Italians and laden with vegetables. The master, a Roman of Civita Vecchia, pretends to be in great trouble, in order to squeeze a good price out of the captain for his " tuttifruti e eosi diversi.' The officers assured me that all the statements made by the coasting skip pers when they return to port from the squadron are lies from beginning to end. A ten-oared barge carried the party to the United States frigate Sabine, on board of which Flag-Cap tain Adams hoists his pennant. On our way we had a fair view of the Brooklyn, whose armament of 22 heavy guns is said to be the most formidable battery in the American navy. Her anti-type, the Sabine, an old-fashioned 50-gun frigate, as rare an object upon modern seas as an old post-coach is upon modern roads, is reached at last. As one treads her decks, the eyes, accustomed for so many weeks to the outlandish forms of brave but undis ciplined Southern Volunteers, feel en pays de con naissance when they rest upon the solid mass of 300 or 400 quid-rolling, sunburnt, and resolute-looking blue-shirted tars, to whom a three years' cruise has imparted a family aspect which makes them almost as hard to distinguish apart as so many Chinamen. A believer in the serpent symbol might feel almost tempted to regard thelog of the Sabine as comprising the Alpha and Omega of, at least, the last half cen tury of the American Republic. Her keel was laid shortly after our last war with Brother Jonathan, and so long as the temple of Janus remained closed —her size having rendered her unfit to participate in what is called the Mexican war—she remained in the ship-house of the navy-yard which had wit nessed her baptism. In the year 1858 she was sum moned from her retirement to officiate as flagship of the " Paraguay expedition," and after having con veyed the American Commissioner to Montevideo, whence he proceeded with a flotilla of steamers and sloops of war up to Corrientes, and thence in the temporaryflagship, the steamer Fulton, to Assump tion, she brought him back to New York in May, 1859, and was then despatched to complete her cruise as part of the Home Squadron in the Carib bean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. During the conclud ing months of her cruise the political complications of North and South burst into the present rupture, and the day before our visit one of her lieutenants, a North Carolinian, had left her to espouse, as nearly all the Southern officers of both army and navy have done, the cause of his native State. Captain Adams is in a still more painful predica ment. During his eventful voyage, which com menced with a six days' experience in the terrible Bermuda cyclone of November, 1858, he had been a stranger to the bitter sectional animosities engen dered by the last election ; and had recently joined the blockade of this port, where he finds a son en listed in the ranks of the C. S. A., and learns that two others form part of the Virginia division of Mr. Jefferson Davis's forces, Born in Pennsylva nia, he marr i e d i n Louisiana, where he has a plan tation and the remainder of his family, and he smiles grimly as one of our companions brings him the playful message from his daughtor,who has been elected rivandiere of a New Orleans regiment, " that she trusts he may be starved whil h e blockading the South, and th at she intends to ton and get a l oc k of Old Abe'sph u a - i hair"--on t a o s l i V eu a sxhliandgy would his scalp. The veteran have sai s d ailor's sad s t ory demands deep sym tphaethvya.rielty, heofwheevaerier,.ghelp eannot enjoyi ng at l east 1 a little of the alter a pars. It is now nearly six weeks since I entered " Dixie's Land," during which period I must confess I have had a sufficiency o f t h e music and drums, the cavaliering and the roystering of the Southern gal lants. As an impartial observer, I may say I find less bitterness and denunciation, but quite as dogged a resolution upon the Roundhead side. Some y s u ex perience, or at least observation h rv t atlo argument, has taught atnaotftacthke gunpowder always more grateful office than defence , and, if we are to judge of the sturdy resolution of the inmates of Fort Pickens by the looks of the office rs and crews of the fleet, Fort Pickens will fall no easy prize, if at all. _ and the ready hospitality of After some conversation with Ca c p a t b a i i n n , he Ad a s m a i s d , his finally he would take on himself to permit me and the party to land at the Navy-yard and to visit the enemy's quarters, relying on my character as a neutral and a subject of Great Britain that no im proper advantage would be t a k en o f th e permission. In giving that leave he was, he said, well aware that he was laying himself open to attack, but he acted on his own judgment and responsibility. We must, however , h o i st a flag of truce, as he had beeninformed by Gen. Bragg that he considered the intimation he had received from the fleet of the blockade of the port was a declaration of war, and that he would fire on any vessel from the fleet which approached his command. I bade good bye to Capt. Adams with sincere regret, and if— but I may not utter the wish here. Our barge was waiting to take us to the Oriental, i❑ which we sailed pleasantly away down the Powhattan to in form Captain Porter I had received permission to go on shore. Another officer was in his cabin when I entered—Captain Poore, of the Brooklyn, and he seemed a little surprised when he heard that Cap tain Adams had given leave to all to go on shore. "What, all these editors of Southern newspapers who are with you, Sir 9" I assured him they were nothing of the kind, and after a few kind words I made my adieu, and . went on board the Diana with my companions. Hoisting one of our only two table cloths to the masthead as a flag of truce, we dropped slowly with the tide through the channel that runs parallel to one face of Fort Pickens. The wind favoured us but little, and the falling breeze enabled all on board to inspect deliberately the seemingly artistic preparations for the threatened attack which frowns and bristles from three miles of forts and batteries arrayed around the slight indenture opposite. Heavy sandbag traverses protect the corners of the parapets, and seem solid enough to defy the heavy batteries ensconced in earthworks around the Light house, which to an outside glance seems the most formidable point of attack, directed as it is against the weaker flank of the fort at its most vulnerable angle. A few soldiers and officers upon the ramparts ap peared to be inhaling the freshening breeze which arose to waft the schooner across the channel, and enabled her to coast the mainshore, so that all could take note of the necklace of bastions, earthworks, and columbiads with which Gen, Bragg hopes to throttle his adversary. We passed by J3thrancas, the nearest point of attack (a mile and a quarter), the Commander-in-Chief's head-quarters, the bar racks, and the hospital successively, and as the vessel approached the landing-pier of the Navy-yard one could hear the bustle of the military and the ham mers of the artificers, and descry the crimson and blue trappings of Zouaves, recalling Crimean remi niscences. A train of heavy tumbrils, drawn by three or four pairs of mules, was the first indication of a transport system in the army of the Confederate States, and the high bred chargers mounted by the escorts of these ammunition waggons corroborated the ac counts of the wealth and breeding of its volunteer cavalry. The Diana now skirted the Navy-yard, the neat dwellings of which, and the profusion of orange and fig groves in which they are embosomed, have an aspect of tropical shade and repose, much at variance with the stern preparations before us. Our skipper let go his anchor at a respectful dis tance from the quay, evincing a regard for martial law that contrasted strangely with the impatience of control elsewhere manifested throughout this land, and almost inspiring the belief that no other rule can ever restore the lost bump of veneration to American craniology. While the master of the Diana was skulling his leaky punt ashore to convey my letters of introduc tion to the Commander-in-Chief, I had leisure to survey the long, narrow, low sand belt of island opposite which loses itself in the distance, and dis appears in the ocean 47 miles from Fort Pickens. It is so nearly level with the sea that I could make out the mainyards of the Sabine and the Brooklyn, anchored outside the island within range of the Navy-yard, which is destined to receive immediate attention whenever the attack shall begin. Pur suing my reflections upon the morale of the upper and nether millstones between which the Diana is moored, I am sadly puzzled by the anomalous ethics or metaphysics of this singular war, the prepara tions for which vary so essentially—it m ere sin to to say ludicrously—from all ancient and modern belligerent usages. Here we have an important fortress, threatened with siege for the last 60 days, suffering the assailants of the flag it defends to amass battery upon battery, and string the whole coast of low hills opposite with every variety of apparatus for its own devastation, without throwing a timely shell to prevent their establishment. War has been virtually declared, since letters of marque and a corresponding blockade admit of no other interpretation, and yet but last week two Mobile steamers, laden with £50,000 worth of pro visions for the beleaguering camp, were stopped by the blockading fleet and, though not permitted to enter this harbour, were allowed to return to Mobile untouched, the commander thinking it quite punish ment enough for the rebels to thus compel them to return to Mobile, and carry up the Alabama River to Montgomery this mass of eatables, which would have to be despatched thence by rail to this place ! Such practical jokes lend a tinge of innocence to the premonitories of this strife which will hardly sur vive the first bloodshed. The skipper returned from shore with an orderly, who brought the needful permission to haul the Diana alongside the wharf, where I landed, and was conducted by an aide of the Quartermaster-General through the shady streets of this graceful little village, which covers an enclosure of 300 acres, and, with the adjoining forts, cost the United States over £6,000,000 sterling, which may have something to do with the President's determination to hold a pro perty under so heavy an hypothecation. Irish land lords, with encumbered estates, have no such simple mode of obtaining an acquittal. The Navy-yard is, properly speaking, a settle ment of exceedingly neat detached houses, with gardens in front, porticoes, pillars, verandahs, and Venetian blinds to aid the dense trees in keeping off the scorching rays of the sun, which is intensely powerful in the summer, and is now blazing so fiercely as to force one to admit the assertion that the average temperature is as high as that of Calcutta to be very probable. The little grass plots under these trees are covered with neat piles of cannon balls, mostly of small size ; two obsolete mortars—one dated 1776—are placed in the main avenue. Tents are pitched under the trees, and the houses are all occupied by officers, who are chatting, smoking, and drinking at the open win dows. A number of men in semi-military dresses of various sorts and side arms are lounging about the quays and the lawns before the houses. Into one of these I am escorted, and find myself at a very pleasant mess, of whom the greater number are officers of the Zouave Corps, from New Orleans —one, a Dane, has served at Idstedt, Kiel, Frederichstadt, another foreigner Hs seen service in South America, another has fought in half the insurrectionary wars in Europe. The wine is abun dant, the fare good, the laughter and talk are loud. Mr. Davis has been down all day from Montgomery, accompanied by Mrs. Davis, Mr. Malcny, and Mr. Wigfall, and they all think his presence means im mediate action. The only ship here is the shell of the old Fulton, which is on the stocks, but the works of the Navy yard are useful in casting shot, shell, and preparing munitions of war. An aide-de-camp from General he road, owing Bragg entered as we were sitting at table, and iin vited me to attend him to the General's quarter s . T as fuu : s f a o n und, was very long and very dis agreeable, tko at the every depth ste ofthe o sand, into whichthe ankle. Passing al ong the front of an p up extended row of the clean, airy, p re t ty villas inside the Navy-yard, we passed the gate on exhibiting our passes, and pro ceeded by the sea beach, one side of which is lined with houses, a few yards from toiled oi bye the lg guns ui have been surf. s a n These d-b ag s,housespara pets, a r a are all occ u pi e d by troops, or a fe are used as bar-rooms n a es the At placedo r n agig along lzoa p I f the service, beach,covered f intervalsw t p h e e t s a , iadned hailed traverses. a cart, pressed it into along As u u i n 1 1 t h . e s s sand smart _ Sud denly d r r u ss i and we continued igohutr-bjaocukrnedeymleasu in a blue s y frock coat, with a star on the epaulette strap, a kepi, and trowsers with gold stripe, and larg epo brass spurs, rode past on a high - stepping powerf u l charger, followed by an orderly. "There's Gene ra l Bragg," said his aide. The General turned round, reined up, and I was presented as I sat in my state chariot. The commander of the Confederated States Army at Pensacola is about 42 years of age, of a spare and powerful frame ; his face is dark, and marked with deep lines, his mouth large, and squarely set in determined jaws, and his eyes, sagacious, penetrating, and not by any means un kindly, look out at you from beetle brows which run straight across and spring into a thick tuft of black hair, which is thickest over the nose, where naturally it usually leaves an intervening space. His hair is dark, and he wears such regulation whiskers as were the delight of our generals a few years ago. His manner his quick and frank, and his smile is very pleasing and agreeable. The General would not hear of my continuing my jour ney to his quarters in a cart, and his orderly brought up an ambulance, drawn by a smart pair of mules, in which I completed it satisfactorily. The end of the journey through the sandy plain was at hand, for in an enclosure of a high wall there stood a well-shaded mansion, amid trees of live oak and sycamore, with sentries at the gate and horses held by orderlies under the portico. General Bragg received me at the top of thesteps which lead to the verandah, and, after a few earnest and complimen tary words, conducted me to his office, where he spoke of the contest in which he was to play so im portant a part in terms of unaffected earnestness. Why else had he left his estates ? After the Mexi can war he had retired from the United States Artillery ; but when his State was menaced he was obliged to defend her. He was satisfied the North meant nothing but subjugation. All he wanted was peace. Slavery was an institution for which he was not responsible, but his property was guaranteed to him by law, and it consisted of slaves. Why did the enemy take off slaves from Tortugas to work for them at Pickens ? Because whites could not do their work. It was quite impossible to deny his earnest ness, sincerity, and zeal as he spoke, and one could only wonder at the difference made by the " stand point" from which the question is reviewed. Gen. Bragg finally before we supped took down his plans and showed me the position of every gun in his works and all his batteries. He showed tho greatest clearness of unreserved openness in his communica tions, and was anxious to point out that he had much greater difficulties to contend with than Gen. Beauregard had at Charleston. The inside of Pickens is well-known to him, as he was stationed there the very first tour of duty which he had after he left West Point. It was late at night when I re turned on one of the General's horses towards the Navy-yard. The orderly who accompanied me was, he said, a Mississippi planter, but he had left his wife and family to the care of the negroes, had turned up all his cotton land and replanted it with corn, and had come off to the wars. Once only were we challenged, and I was only required to show my pass as I was getting on board the schooner. Be fore I left General Bragg he was good enough to say he would send down one of his aides-de-camp and horses early in the morning to give me a look at the works. COUNT CAVOUR'S DEA7II. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) TURIN, JUNE 6. Consunimatuin est. Count Cavour died this morning at 7 o'clock. It was understood yesterday that the night would be critical, and the issue of the crisis was scarcely doubtful, as the sufferer had not rallied in the morning, as had been the case with him in the previous days. All power of reac tion had left him, and the new attack of fever was sure to find him powerless. The Romans, it is said, crowned on the Capitol the physician who rid them of Pope Adrian VI. The Italians of our own days would honestly hang Count Cavour's doctors if the execution would afford any relief to their feelings. There never was a clearer case of a man murdered by his medical attendants. Within a very short period of five days they at tempted to cure the count of four or more different complaints—congestion of the brain, typhus fever, intermittent pernicious fever, brain fever, dropsy, and lastly gout ; and for all these diseases they could think of nothing but their own sovereign remedy—the lancet. I think these excellent prac titioners are worthy to send down their names to posterity. They were Dr. Rossi, Dr. Mattoni, and towards the end the King's phi sician, Riberi, the same in whose hands the mother, wife, and brother of Victor Emmanuel expired, one by one, in the early months of the fatal year 1853. Dr. Tommasi, who was summoned from Pavia by Cavour's friends, was not admitted to consultation. ' The excitement of the Turin population, when they became aware of the Prime Minister's danger, rose almost to a frantic pitch. The whole day yes terday, and more especially towards evening, till late in the night, the gateway and courtyard of the Cavour Palace, the street, and all the adjoining avenues were strongly beset with eager faces, eager and silent, hardly imparting their fears to each other in an under-whisper. Had death been a visible, tangible enemy, you woul'l have said the sullen, dogged expression of those countenances conveyed a firm, desperate resolution to grapple with him. Notwithstanding frequent fits of delirium, Count Cavour seemed to have a distinct presentiment of his fate. Seeing himself alone with his domestic attendants yesterday, he asked with great serenity " whether his doctors had forsaken him ?" On being answered, with surprise and concern, that they could never have thought of leaving him fora moment, he replied with a smile, "Boma/Una, gli abbanclonero in" (" It is I who shall quit them to morrow morning"). The King paid repeated visits to the builder of the exalted fortunes ofhis dynasty. The Home Minister, Minglietti, applied for a final interview with the leader of Italian politics, but was kept back by the Count's physicians. Farini was with him to the last moment. The dying man sho wed great strength and composure through out his agony. There was apparently no intense suffering ; at least, no utterance of if. He talked with great volubility, and even with his wonted humour, both in moments of mental alienation and in lucid intervals. Not one word escaped him throughout that betrayed the least feeling of re sentment or animosity against any man living or dead. If this busy, scheming mind had no leisure for very expansive friendship or tender affection, it was, however, too loftily raised above the sphere of human passion to harbour any recollection of injury or insult. Generosity was an instinct with him, and cost him no effort. For the rest, his aims were great, and he gave himself n) excessive concern for the sacrifices with which they might be attained. He valued faithful and able servants ; he knew how to choose, and how to turn them to good purpose. But he thought, perhaps, their services were their best reward. He had many who loved him. I know no one who could boast of having enjoyed Cavour's friendship. He stood alone in his great - ness. He talked a good deal about politics, and to the last minute he expressed a firm faith in the desti nies of his country. He advised patience and per severance. He said, "We shall get on to the end' (andremo avanti sino allafine). He spoke of Cialdini Menabrea, Cugia--of armies on the Po and Mincio. He turned the conversation on almost trivial sub jects—the crops, the silkworms. Heaven bless his glorious memory ! For him polities was no more than agriculture, trade, or industry. It was a sphere of activity he looked for—work for his rest less spirit, for his colossal faculties, for his un daunted energies. In early youth he was an ardent student ; in his prime of manhood a deep specula tor ; in mature age an earnest, eager statesman. By turns he stored his mind, he enriched his family, he made his country. Foresight and steadiness chained fortune to his chariot; he met with no fail ure. He loved politics for exertion's sake. Power had become a necessity for him ; he pined and fretted at Leri, in 1859, during those few months of comparative inaction ; he would have died of weariness if, upon the Roman and Venetian ques tion being solved, prudence had suggested a retire ment under the shade of his laurels. No man in this world, and the greatest least of all, know precisely the juncture at which it is good for them to die. What loss the death of this great man has inflicted upon Italy coming events will soon tell us. But for Cavour himself it is difficult to say whether he could depart this life at a moment more auspicious to his fame. Really great statesmen, born to weather great national crises, have never been long-lived, and a man's death may be as fruit ful of good to his generation as his life. I see a proud, noble spirit, rising around me among these brave Italian patriots, stunned as they ore by the suddenness of their dire calamity ; a manly resolu tion not to be borne down even by this irreparable Stroke of adversity. Cavour's imperious, 4tubborn master-mind forced them to keep together. Cavour's death warns them to still closer unity of action and purpose. I hear around me, wherever I turn, ear nest protestations of abiding by and supporting the Government, into whatever hands the King may choose to put it. " Cavour did the work of ten, of a hundred, of a thousand men," they say; "we must get tens, hundreds, thousands, so to pull together as to do the work of that one man." I must say I augur well for the future of Italy. Yesterday the day was cold and gloomy, with heavy wet, the fit day to body forth a great public disaster. This morning when all was over the sky was not only spotless, but of such deep, vivid hue as :only this sub-Alpine region can boast, when rain and wind have driven the last speck of vapour from the storm•breeding mountains. What sorrow can live in human breasts in sight of the calm purity of yon glorious Alpine chain, all mantled over with a fresh fall of snow ? Man seems to identify himself with the eternity of nature in presence of this wonderful alternation of atmos pheric phenomena. Only last night a great spirit was passing from among us, and before the breath had departed his body the gloom that hung over the house of death yields to the ineffable smile of all created things. It forces a smile in return from the downcast and hopeless—" Heaviness endureth for a night, but joy comes in the morning." P.M. The shops are closed under the porticoes, and business is at a stand throughout the town in sight of mourning. Persons familiar with Turin aver that the city bore just such a look of desolation and dismay on the day after the terrible disaster of Novara. The House of Deputies met at a quarter to 2, and was fully attended. The galleries were crowded, but deep silence prevailed. I saw Sir James Hudson in the Diplomatic gallery. He was personally attached to the deceased Minister, and feels the loss as keenly as any Italian. The mem bers of the headless Cabinet were all present. The President, Ratazzi, in a few impressive words, an nounced to the House the loss the nation had sus tained, and adjourned it for three days. He re peated to the Deputies the words uttered by Count Cavour with his last breath, expressing his firm faith in the destinies of the country, and recom mending unity and constancy. The Minister for Home Affairs, Minghetti, who had some trouble in dashing the tears from his eyes, informed the House that the Cabinet would retain office for the present, and that by a decree of the 4th the King had trusted him, Minghetti, with the portfolio, and General Fanti, the Minister of War, with the administration of the Marine. On the motion of the Deputy Lanza, the House resolved to go into mourning for 20 days. Baron Ricasoli has been applied to for the compo sition of a new Cabinet. In the morning the pre sent Ministers held a Council, presided over by the King. I read in the Gazetta di Torino that Cavour in his delirium was repeatedly heard to exclaim, " No, no ; I will have no state of siege. Any man may govern with a state of siege." TILE NAY X. The Rinaldo, 17, screw, ;Commander W. N. W. Hewett, V.C., sailed from Spithead on Saturday morning to join the squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., on the North America and West India station.' The Wye, screw steam storeship, Master-Com mander Roberts, sailed from Spithead on Saturday for Sierra Leone, to relieve the Buffalo, screw steam storeship, on the West ;Coast of Africa station, ordered to England to pay of; The Glasgow and the Sutlej, frigates, were re moved on Saturday from the steam-basin at Ports mouth dockyard, and placed at moorings in the harbour, preparatory to the basin being excavated to a greater depth. The construction of the North Inlet of this basin will shortly be resumed, and if carried out as at present intended will be but a re petition of the blunder committed in the construc tion of No. 8, or the South Inlet Dock, of the same basin, which was built at great cost, and owing to the shallowness of water over its invert will only admit vessels of small draught. The entrance of the North Inlet Dock, with about 60 feet of its floor ing, was constructed, with the steam basin, some 13 years since at a cost of £5,000. The further esti mate for completing the work, leaving the entrance in its present shallow, and therefore useless form, is £72,161. What Portsmouth dockyard requires is docks of sufficient size to receive ships of the Warrior class, with their guns, stores, and crews on board. At this time Portsmouth dockyard pos sesses but one dock of this kind. Letters received from Rio de Janeiro, dated May the Bth, state that Lieut. Paul, of her Majesty's ship Curlew, had been tried by Court-martial for cruelty towards the engineers on board, for refus ing the surgeon of the ship a boat to carry him ashore at Monte Video to visit a midshipman in hospital, and for various acts of disrespect and dis obedience. The Court sentenced him to be dis missed the Curlew, and to be placed at the bottom of the Lieutenants' list. The Defence, 24, mail-clad iron steamer, is to be supplied with iron lower masts and bowsprit; the rest of her masts and gear, which will be similar to those supplied to the Warrior, 40, will be furnished her from Chatham Dockyard. Orders have also been received at Chatham, directing six Armstrong guns to be put on board, viz.—four 40-pounders, one 25-pounder, and one 12-pounder. The Lords of the Admiralty have given directions for the first of the fleet of wooden iron-cased steam frigates, which they have decided on having built, to be commenced at Chatham Dockyard, where the Royal Oak, the pioneer of this new class of vessel, has been laid down under No. 7 shed. The starboard division of the Channel squadron is said to have gone north to Glasgow. Their ulti mate head-quarters will be Belfast, the first place of rendezvous being the Downs. _ _ _ The following appointments were made on Fri day at the Admiralty :—C. M.

The following circular memorandum has been issued by the Adjutant-General Sir J. Yorke Scar lett, directed to officers commanding Royal Engi neers on foreign stations, dated Horse Guards, 6th inst. : "His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief having concurred with the opinion of the Secretary of State for War that much time and expense would be saved by empowering command ing Royal Engineers to report upon any engineering question referred to them by the naval commander in-chief or senior naval officer on a station, his Royal Highness is pleased to direct that such re ports shall be rendered, and the most cordial assist ance be given by commanding Royal Engineers whenever it can be done without detriment to the performance of their regular duties." The annexed circular memorandum, addressed to officers commanding infantry, has been promul gated by the Adjutant-General at head-quarters . :— ~ The General Commanding-in -Chief calls the attention of officers commanding regiments and depot battalions to the importance of selecting well qualified non-commissioned officers for the depot companies. "His Royal Highness will hold commanding officers responsible that none but really efficient non-commissioned officers are permitted to do duty with the depot ; and when found fit for that em ment they are not to be removed without being relieved by others equally adapted for that peculiar duty." His Royal Highness the General Commanding in -Chief, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State for War, directs that a conviction of habitual drunkenness shall render a soldier liable to be de graded from the first to the second class. The enrolled pensioners of the Woolwich division, consisting of four companies of 100 each, were last week called out for the performance of their annual drill. The majority of the veteran soldiers present a most healthy and robust appearance. The new barrack quarters now building in rear of the old Infirmary at Woolwich, to afford additional habitations for married Artillerymen and their were last week roofed in, and the windows glazed. The accommodation is pronounced most inconve niently small, as only one room of about 12 feet is to be allotted to the soldier, his wife, and family, of whatever number. The buildings consist of 80 rooms, the upper floors of which are approached by an exterior gallery, and are intended to house 80 entire families, who will be subject to garrison re gulations, the localiq. being surrounded by a brick wall. The situation is considered. healthy, and is conveniently near to the barracks and the town. The following information is supplied in a general regimental order, bearing date the 6th inst., issued by Col. Charles Bingham, Deputy-Assistant-Gene - ral:—Brevet-Major R. Biddulph has been appointed Military Secretary on the Staff of Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Hope Grant, G.C.8., about to take the command of the forces in the Presidency of Madras.

On the 6th inst. at Aldershot the firing with the Enfield rifle by Private Wm. Reynolds, of Capt. Atherley's company of the 45th Regiment, deserves special notice. He made a total of 25 points in the first class—that is, between 650 and 900 yards, in 20 rounds; at 650 yards, one centre hit, two outer hits, and two misses ; at 700 yards, one centre hit, four outer hits, and no misses ; at 800 yards, three centre hits, two outer hits, and no misses ; and at 900 yards, three centre hits, one outer hit, and one miss.

The cause of the fire is unknown. The loss will fall on the Leeds, Yorkshire, and other fire-offices. Another fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Pearch, cab proprietor, Horse and Groom yard, Curtain-road, Shore ditch. The fire broke out in the stables, and a valuable horse was burnt to death. The flames were not extinguish ed until considerable damage was done. The cause is un known. The loss will fall on the Phcenix Fire-office.

By the arrival of the Magdalena we learn that the arrivals of wool at Buenos Ayres during the month amounted to 85,000 arrobas, and the sales to 125,000, included in which were 500 bales washed Cordova, 300 for the States at 34 rls., and 200 for England at 331 rls. ; stock of Cordova 250 bales, buyers at 331 rls. Arrivals since the commence ment of the season, 1,765,000 arrobas; total sales, 1,545,000 arrobas. The article was in good demand. Rates for freight continued without change ; but ve r y littl e cargo was offering, as the activity at Bar racas was rapidly declin ing, and little produce coming forward, either from the country or provinces. There was no vessel on the berth for the States, and no cargo offering. The coffee market at Rio Janeiro remained languid between the departure of the Tyne for Southampton, on the Bth April, and the close of the mail per French steamer Estremadura on the 25th. Buyers, owing to the continued unsettled state of affairs in the States and the high range of prices, remained much on the reserve in expectation of a decline in prices, whieh might have been looked for from the increased supplies. Sales during the above mentioned peridd were confined to 52,700 bags (about half of which for the States) at a decline of 100 reis in the better and 200 reis in the lower descriptions. The weather had for some time past been extremely fair and steady ; hence supplies came forward very regularly, the average during the past month having 'been 8,000 bags per diem. Some parcels of the new Serra Abaixo crop had been received, showing a better quality than usual in the first receipts of pevious crops. It was, however, reported from the lowland districts that in consequence of the long duration of rain a great deal of fruit had been lost, and that the yield would be considerably less than was calculated upon. The total amount of bills on London negotiated for this steamer was estimated at £600,000, at 261d..and 26N. Business on France was regular at 360 to 362 reis. Little or nothing done on Hamburg. Freights—England, 455. to 505., per cent. ; Eng lish Channel, 655. to 705., 5 per cent. ; Antwerp, 655., per cent. ; Hamburg, 65%, 5 per cent. ; Mediterranean, 655. to 755., per cent. ; United States, 60c. to 80c. ; Havre de Grace, 60f., 10 per cent. Exchange at Bahia closed at 26,3 d. on the 13th ult. Transactions at the beginning of the previous week occurred at 260. for 30 days, and 26td. for 90 days, but subsequently drawers refused to grant these rates. Superior qualities of sugar having been in brisk demand higher prices had been conceded -1,750 per arroba for ordinary Nazareths 2,000 to 2,200 for regular Bahias, and 2,400 for picked browns, 2,600 to 2,800 for regular qualities, and 3,000 for picked whites. Very little doing in tobacco, and prices remained at last quotations—viz., 5,300 for seconds, and 6,300 for first. No freight charters had been effected, and rates were flat. Business had been very dull at Pernambuco during the month. Imports were moderate. The scarcity of tonnage had caused great dullness in exports, and a weak exchange in consequence. The transactions in exchange by this mail was limited, the amount not exceeding £60,000, principally at 26d. ; a few small am oun t s a t 25-7-,d., with some cre dits.

Entries of cotton amounted to about 1,000 bags, which were sold at various prices from 8,000 to 8,400. Several.lots of Paraibas had changed hands at 8,200 to 8,400, and a lot of Maceios at 8,000. Freights for the Channel from 475. 6d. to 555., and to Liverpool 375. 6d.for sugar. The American brig Souther was chartered to load at Maceio for Liverpool with cotton at tid. per lb. and 5 per cent. primage. The import market was in a very unsettled state, and great difficulty was experienced in effecting sales, arising from the un willingness of dealers to increase their liabilities. COUNTRY MARKETS.
