The Share Market was steady, but not Rauch doing. st. St. The following information on the subject of the 5) Liverpool wool is from Messrs. Ahran, Gartside, 5° 20 and Co.'s monthly circular :—During the pas 20 month there has been a good demand for most de- IS scriptions of wool. Mediterranean and Oporto so kinds have been much sought after, and prices ?,5 have a tendency upwards. East Indias are also 8 1: ti• wanted, but few are offered by private. In Entre St. Rios sales to some extent have been made, chiefly g in the finer qualities, say from 14(1. to 19d. per lb. 25 There has been a good demand for English, Irish, s it and Scotch, an d p r i ces h ave s li g htly i m proved.. The Scotch wool fairs have gone off with advantage St. to the growers. 10 50 The Colonial produce markets this week have so been rather dull, and prices have tended down- Bt. wards. Sugar has declined 6d. to Is. per cwt., st . and the market is exceedingly dull. Coffee has St. been heavy ; tea quiet, and Bengal rice 3d. to 6d. I t t . per cwt. cheaper. In spices the dealings have been st, of a limited character, and no material change in 9t. prices has occurred. Saltpetre has been rather 12 heavy. Cochineal is Id. per lb. cheaper, and tal low, though firm, has been in li m it e d reques t. 161 Commercial advices from Batavia by way of Suez st. have come to hand, with dates to the 10th June. ,g The Coffee Market is reported to be active, and Lli prices rising. Ordinary qualities are firm at 32 to St: 33 florins per picul, and the article much in de- I' Eland. A sale of 700 pi cu l s f or d e li very during 10 the present year was effected at 30 florins. At Padau the Government had sold by auction about 10 35,000 piculs, the greater portion of which ap peared to be bought on American account, in con sequence of numerous orders to that effect having been received from the United States. In Sugars 1 0 ' most of the crop of the present year has already st. passed into second hands, at 15fl. per picul de- 5 3 0 livered at Samarang, and 14Ifl. at Passarouang. 25 For extra fine qualities, 1611. has been paid, for LO) shipment to France. The total quantity purchased 5 0 for the same destination since the beginning of the 40 season amounts to 200,000 picula. In Rice busi- 4t. ness was very limited, but prices were firm, with 50 an upward tendency. Articles of import were not much in demand, excepting cheese and olive oil. Exchange on London, 11fl. 25c. to 11fi. 35e. ; St. sovereigns, 12.70 to 12.90. St. it. The half-yearly meeting of the British Bank 25 took place this day. It stated that a dividend of 4 per cent. per annum was recommended, which En. Would enable the directors to make more than ordinary provision for bad and doubtful debts.

This is a very pretty little tale for juvenile readers, likely to be productive both of pleasure and profit. It is called " The Happy Cottage, or the Power of Love," and shows how a good and gentle child won over a passionate and selfish boy to be kind and dutiful like herself. It does not profess to give advice, but the moral is likely to be very instructive to its little readers. It is elegantly bound, and embellished with several engravings, each page having a border round it. Altogether it forms a most suitable and attractive gift book for little people. 50 I al at. 61 5, s(' a, 5( al "!5 a' 12. al St. "0 VENFINek ACCI-VST Naval and Military Intelligence. The Himalaya, which arrived_at Spithead yesterday, left Scutari on the 19th of July/. She brings two regiments of the German Legion. She also brings Lieut.-Colonel Mayow, Assistant Quartermaster-Gene _ _ rat of the English Cavalry. C)lonel Mayow went out with the first of the cavalry in April, 1854, and has re mained with them to the present time. He landed in the Crimea on the 16th of September, and was at the battles of the Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman, as well as in the skirmish at Mackenzie's Farm upon Lord Raglan's flank march. He was in the famous charge of the Light Cavalry brigade at Balaklava with the 17th Lancets. At Inkermitn, with Lord George Paget, and one or two other officers, he was under heavy fire at the advanced post of the sandbag battery. He was in every reconnaissance subsequently made by the cavalry, and has now returned to England in the Himalaya, having waited to see off almost the last man of his division. Her Majesty's ship Malacca arrived at Portsmouth from Halitax yesterday afternoon. She sailed from Halifax on the 13th of July. The Osborne Admiralty-yacht, Master-Commander Bower, has sailed from Portsmouth, with the Lords of the Admiralty, for the Channel Llands. The Flying Fish was in company. The Gorgon, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Towsey, has arrived at Portsmouth from the westward. The Rodney, 90, Captain Wilson, came into Ports mouth harbour yesterday to be paid off.

THE APPALLING ACCIDENT TO AN AMERICAN EXCURSION TRAIN. The details given by the American journals of the collision upon the North Pennsylvania Railroad (briefly described in yesterday's Sun,) are frightful beyond exag geration. _ - Some of the bodies of the victims were entirely con sumed. One gentleman, in searching among the ashes under some portion of the machinery, found a few calcined human bones in two places. They were, without doubt, all that was left of two human beings. The remains of both could readily be held in the palm of the hand. Three of the cars of the excursion train caught fire likea flash, .4nd in a very few moments nothing was left of them but the wheels, the other iron work, and a few charred timbers and smouldering pieces of the human frame. There are two hotels, one dwelling house, a blacksmith's shop, and a small shed, within about three hundred yards of the scene, and to these places the wounded were first carried. Not a tree is to be seen for a considerable distance on any side, and the glaring sun beat down upon the dead, the wounded, their rescuers, and their half-crazed friends, who were flocking to the scene, all running on foot, in waggons, and every species of vehicle that could be procured in the city. As most of the victims, or a greater portion, were Irish, of course the demonstration of grief which met the ears were of the In ost violent character. "They surpassed anything," says one journal, " within the range of the reportorial experience." The wounded were placed on the seats of the train that came to assist as comfortably as circumstances would permit, and every attention possible was shown by the physicians, the employes of the road, the police in charge of the train, and by the friends of the victims. Every conceivable kind and degree of wound was to be seen, and nothing save agony from the wounded or their afflicted friends and relatives met one's eyes at every turn. The train was run to town quite slowly and care• fully, and, as it passed along, crowds of persons from the road sides and windows of dwellings on the line of the road gazed mournfully on the cars and their freight. Eleven bodies of men and women, and twe children, were burned to death in one car. The names are un known. They were caught under the side of one of the cars and roasted alive. When we saw the remains they presented a horrible spectacle. The mutilated remains of four men and women and a child were dug from be neath the engine and tender. The Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. D. Sheridan, was crushed in a dreadful manner between two cars. The farmers in the vicinity rendered every assistance in their power, except one man, who demanded 10 dole. for a waggon to go a mile for a physician. The track is single, and when the locomotives rushed together they reared up on end, dashing each other to pieces, and becoming amalgamated, as it were, in an apparently inextricable mass of iron and brass. The bottoms of the two engines struck together, and the entire mass fell over upon their side up )n the western slope of the embankment. Two or three trains ran to and fro between the city and the scene of the disaster during the afternoon. The friends of the sufferers crowded upon the up•trains despite the exertions of the police to prevent a rush, and some of the more daring ones actually rode upon the cow-catcher in front of the locomotive. CREMORNE GARDENS. There was a fete at this favourite resort yesterday of more than usual brilliancy, the occasion being the bene fit of the proprietor, Mr. T. B. Simpson. It was a "day and night gala," and the festivities commenced as early as two o'clock in the afternoon, when a salute of 21 guns opened the proceedings. Then followed Morris dances on the green, maypole dances, gymnastics, per forming dogs, equestrian performances in the circus, &c., until half-past five, when a vocal and instrumental concert, for which a number of extra artistes were en gaged, including Messrs. W. G. Ross, S. Cowell, and P. Corri, was carried on until seven, when a balloon ascent took place under circumstances of some novelty, inasmuch as an adventurous lady essayed to accompany Mr. Deane in his mrial flight. The lady not only pre served her composure to admiration, but performed the usual salutations at the moment of her departure with infinite grace and animation. Nothing could be more successful than the ascent of the balloon, on an evening strikingly fine and with scarcely a breath of wind stir ring. To this succeeded a variety of entertainments. The great feature was the illuminations, which were not only brilliant, us might have been expected, but Fm braced some novelties. In addition to Defries' devices in gas and colours, which look like illuminated jewel lery, there were at the entrance to the grounds of Ashburnham House two triumphal obelisks, inscribed with the names of all the most celebrated warriors and statesman who have figured in the late war and the ne gotiations for peace, an imperial crown over in the entrance, and another on the Moresco building the centre of the gardens which deserve some notice. The method of illumination is a new invention of Mr. Lan don, of Exeter, and consists of a series of devices traced on ordinary oiled silk, beneath which is tightly stretched common silk of different colours and hues, artistically blended. Behind this are powerful gas burners, and opposite to them highly burnished metal reflectors. There is great simplicity in the arrangement, but nothing can be more brilliant, more rich, or more fanciful than the effect. It may be observed that this method of illy .. mination is in the nature of a transparency, but as 1 ., perior to those which are in ordinary use as th e .s. burners of the London streets now are to the oil la 11 ' p a of thirty years ago. From 8 o'clock to a lat e h our the gardens were thronged : mirth, good humou r , an d jol lity prevailing on all hands. It ought perhrps ,o be added that the large pavilion tent in the groun is of Ashburnham House was thrown open as a ball - r ooro its spacious area affording accommodation to anu robe; of (lancers who could not have found it on the ordinary dancing platform. An opportunity w as th us aff.r led f testing its capabilities, which are to b e p u t i n requ : Eitio o n shortly for the banquet to be given to the guar is a w h o served in the Crimea, .'tt it FE KENCE SHARES. - 90 120 - 118 fii 95 103 - 17 eve "*". 5 -5; 6 - 6; 197 100 - - 112 105 - 1 p - J ••• .. ... .. • •• 78 79, 1i • -- )21 112 - 114 105 - 107 4 - ip 89 - 89 - 99 • 10 - i 7, - 10 75 - 20i - 10$ - ist .

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " Statements and opinions from various quarters now come thick in confirmation of the view I took a few days ago of the position of Marshal O'Donnell, of the difficulties he has to overcome, and the criti cal position in which he stands. It seems at first to have been generally imagined that, having ousted the Progresista chief, and shot down 'and disarmed those who bad risen in his defence and in that of the order of things introduced by the revolution of 1854, he had nothing to do but put himself at the head of the Moderados, and that such was the course he would naturally and immediately adopt. But the Moderados, with whom must be included, as far as present action goes, the Polacos and other shades of reactionaries, by no means subscribe to this arrangement, which, in truth, O'Donnell him self can scarcely ever have contemplated or deemed practicable. The Moderado's are quite willing to reap the fruits of Espartero's downfall and of the disarming of the National Guard ; but they have leaders of their own whom they will certainly not set aside in favour of their quondam friend O'Don nell. They love the treason, but despise, or at least distrust, the traitor." HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE SKIN, The anniversary dejeuner in aid of the funds of this institution took place at the Crystal Palace on Tuesday afternoon. In the absence of Lord John Russell, who had promised to preside, the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., took the chair. The chairman remarked that the noble lord, whose absence he regretted, had always taken an active part in the affairs of the institution, and proceeded to point out some of its principal merits. From his statement, the following facts appeared : The hospital, with its suite of baths was established in 1841, after the model of the Hospital St. Louis in Paris, for the free admission and medical treatment of the poor of both sexes, for the purpese not only of affording relief to them, but of forming a school for the study of these complaints, and arriving at a more successful mode of treatment than bad previously beea adopted for their cure. Nearly 72,000 persons have been relieved since the foundation. To extend still farther its benefits, wards are opened for the reception of in-patients, and the premises have been enlarged, the ratio of in- crease in the number of patients being upwards of 2,000 annually. Of 10,654 cases treated during the past year 6,329 were cured, 4,313 relieved and still under treat. meat, and 12 deaths ; the total number treated during the past year being 10,654. The health of the medical officers (Dr. Southwood Smith and Mr. James Startin) was then proposed, the Chairman remarking that their names were "household words," more especially amongst the poor. In consideration of the great services and the large contributions made by the Gurney family, and out of respect to the late Samuel Gurney, who was mainly instrumental in founding the institution, it was agreed that it should in future bear the name of "The Gurney Hospital for Diseases of the Skin." QUEh'IES BY THE AUTHOR OF "IMAGI NARY CONVERSATIONS." The following letter has been addressed to a con temporary: Sir,- -I was about to propose a question to the editor of that useful publication, Notes and Queries. But per. haps there may be found among your readers some one who can answer these inquiries. First,--Whether the 'lonians, in their most degene rate and degraded condition, would have laid down their fortunes and lives for Messalina ? Secondly,—Whether such a mother and daughter ever sat successively on any throne as the Spaniards have tolerated upon theirs ? Thirdly,—Whetber the Gauls, on their invasion of Rome, acted with such perfidy as the Ruler of France against that city ? - Fourthly,—Whether the two women, when justice was more popular, would not have been drawn at the cart's tail, and the man have been accommodated with an inside place ? Fifthly,—Whether it is improbable that the English Government, having countenanced the violation of our late treaty by Russia in regard to Ismail and Kars, will permit and sanction the partition, or isolation, of Pied . mont ? Sixthly,—Whether, if Tacitus were living, he could write so favourably .De Moribus Gerinanoruni, ? WALTER SAVAGE LANDOLL LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.) LONDON. Aug.

SUSPECTED MURDER AT WOOLWICH.—An adjourned inquest was held yesterday before Mr. Carter, coroner for West Kent, on the body of a man found on the banks of the river at North Woolwich, under circumstances which lead to the suspicion that a foul deed has been committed. The jury returned a verdict of " Found dead, with marks of violence ; but by whom such violence was committed the evidence does not show." NETHERLANDS LAND ENCLOSURE COMPANY—A meet ing of this company took place yesterday, Mr. Morrison presiding, when the report detailing the progress of ope rations, an abstract of which was given on Saturday, was adopted. The directors are still engaged in the re claiming of land, which is saleable at a considerable profit, and the crop of colza seed will, if well secured, afford a favourable return. In. order to keep faith with the Dutch Government it will now be necessary to push forward the works of the company, and the property is likely to be further imprived by the introduction of rail way communication between Flushing and the Rhine. The heavy liabilities occasioned by the excessive expen diture when the company was first organised are being gradually reduced. ALLIANCE (FRANCE AND ENGLAND) BANK.—At a meeting of holders of share -certificates in this company held yesterday at the London Tavern, in consequence of the forfeiture threatened in the event of the none-pay ment of the call of 51. by that day, the following reso lution was agreed to :—" That the names of several in fluential gentlemen having been advertised as directors of the company, upon the faith of whom the subscribers applied for shares, and such gentlemen having disclaimed all connection with the same, we are of opinion that those shareholders who have not paid the call of 51. per share should refuse to do so till the legal proceedings now pending against the promoters of the company for reco vering back the deposits have been decided." INTOLERANCE IN TURKEY. ---A n affair, which proves that in Turkey the Turks are about the most intolerant, has just occurred at Harpout, in Asia Minor. The child of an Armenian family, some time since converted to Protestantistn, lately died, and its parents had it buried in the Armenian cemetery, the only one for Christians at Harpout. As soon as the Armenian bishop was informed of the fact, he proceeded to the cemetery at the head of the inhabitants belonging to his communion, had the body dug up and thrown into a neighbouring field, there to be devoured by dogs. The governor, being ap prised of what was done, sent guards to protect the body while he made the most energetic remonstrances to the bishop. As the prelate wauld not yield, the body was reinterred by the authorities. The Porte has ad dressed a note to the Armenian Patriarch on the sub ject, demanding the dismissal of the bishop, and has sent orders to the governor of Llarpout to give the Pro testants a piece of ground for a cemetery for themselves. —Gazette du Midi. ESCAPE FROM PRISON.—On Saturday night, a girl about 12 years old, named Bridget Hopkins, was taken to the county lock up, Huddersfield, charged with having stolen two shawls. On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Heaton (the superintendent's wife) went to the cell in which the girl was confined, to obtain a book (preciously lent to another prisoner, and left in the cell), for the purpose of lending it to a boy in another cell to read. Having opened the door of the passage into which the cell door opens, Mrs. Heaton called to the girl to give her the book through the aperture in the door. No answer being returned, she requested the servant, then in the kitchen, to bring her the key of the cell ; but as the ser vant was washing herself at the time Mrs. Heaton went for it herself. Scarcely had she left the passage to go to the kii chen, which is not more than half-a-dozen yards distant, when the girl cane from behind the pas sa4e-door, and ran through the lobby and out of the front door. The shadow her figure cast in leaving the place was observed, but she succeeded in effecting her escape. The hole in the iron door of the cell through which she bad squeezed herself to get behind the passage door is about four feet from the ground, and 101 inches long and 6i wide. She had placed the bed clothes on a stool to raise herself nearer the height of the aperture.— Lech Mercury. 3i 6 6 11 1; 361 6 i THE PIEDMONTESE QUESTION STATED. The following letter by Signor Mazzini has been forwarded to us for publication : " To DANIEL MANIN. • "I do not blame you for your sudden affec ion for the House of Savoy. If to you—but yesterday a Republican —the rule of a King be welcome, so be it; it is better to say so than to conceal it. If for the noble Republican tra ditions of a family whose history is a continual vibration between the invasions of two foreign powers—if to the unite], free, and logical expression of the national consci ence, you prefer that artificial development which goes by the name of constitutional monarchy—if you prefer a peo ple imperfectly represented; and an aristocracy created (for aristocracy properly so called does not exist in Italy), sys tematically to keep it in check—a sovereign who does not govern, but of a fatal necessity oscillates between the two, the country must be the best judge d your intellectual capacity. You have a right to preach the Anglo-political conception which you desire to transplant into Italy. I am not the partisan of any reigning house ; my house is the nation; my love is for the common country; my faith is in the struggles and blood of her people ; my notion of right is based upon the progressive life of the nation, guided by its noblest in wisdom and virtue. It does not irritate me to see others dissent from me; nor do I fear that discussion will be injurious to my Republican faith. The country watches over, and must arbitrate between us. My trust is in her. " What I do blame in you is the manner and the time of your programme. Before any movement has taken place you endeavour to convert into a formula of political agita tion an idea which can only be the conclusion of the movement itself. You betray absOlute and fatal forget. fulness of the first part of the programme—the insurrec tion. You irritate the Republiean party, and alienate it from the common ground we have so often.indicated, by dictatorially commanding it to cast down its banner at the feet of a King. Yon seduce the eager youth of our country by hopes in the secret intentions of the Piedmontese Government, when no intentions really exist save those of acquiring a tittle popularity, in order to pre pare the way to take the leadership of any possible national movement, and divert it from its real aim. You say the revolution is at hand, as if Italy were to receive it ready made from the gnotu proprio of a Cabinet, instead of saying to the Italians—Make your own revolution and exist. You say that Rome must not rise, instead of saying —Let every corner of the country rise ; you declaring that national unity has made a step in advance, because a Minister of the House of Savoy has endeavoured to teach our masters how to prevent the unifying revolution. You—allow me the harsh but true expression—make yourself and (were it possible) the party ridiculous by proclaiming from your exile, before a single man among us is up and ready for battle, that a King is the uniter of Italy—a King who neither endeavours, nor wishes, nor is able to unite her'; whose courtiers repudiate your words, and whose Ministers persecute, imprison, and transport to America all who at tempt to recommence war with the foreigner who dismem bers our country. " Whom do you seek to benefit by your premature, in cautious proclamation ? " The King whom now you serve ? " No. The crown of a people that arises is not given ; it must be won. To desire it before deserving it, is to lose it. If Charles Albert, instead of shutting himself up in a quad rilateral, had gone to the mountain and prevented the enemy from receiving reinforcements; if, instead of stop ping short within the pale of the Germanic Confederation, he had encamped in the Tyrol ; if, instead of making Ve nice, your Venice, Manin—expiate the crime of her Re publican banner, ho had protected it, and guarded the passes of the Friuline and Cadorican Alps—if he had not entered into compacts with the English Government about the inviolability of Trieste—if be had not rejected the aid of the valiant and willing people, and, instead of disband. ing the volunteers, had called upon all the citizens to sup port the regular troops in the war of liberation—if he had, in short, either willed or known how to conquer, no party could have withheld from him the crown of Italy. "The ill-considered fusion*—effected precisely when the enterprise was going to ruin—destroyed him and the country together. Tell your King to attack and conquer; that is the only means by which he can hope to wear that crown which you have decreed to him, while he is—by virtue of the treaties—the ally of the foreigner who occu pies two-thirds of Italy. " Or do you seek to benefit the country ? "The country, Manin, lies even yet inert and unmindful of its duties beneath the halter and the rod. She must be taught to have faith in herself by seeing that we have faith in her. The people must be taught unity of will by seeing harmony among the men whom, right or wrong, they regard as leaders; energy of will, by persistence in the utterance of resolute and immutable truths. They must be given a definite aim, and shown the logical means to be taken, and the duties to be fulfilled, in order to roach it. The illusions which have betrayed them must be inexorably destroyed, and they must be elevated by a knowledge of the omnipotence they possess, but fagot. Above all things, they must be taught the consciousness of them selves of their own dignity, and the eternal right incarnate within them--the traditions of their fathers, and the high mission to which they are called in the future. Yon only say to them, Agitate your chains, and choose a King.' "In the face of those who say to them, Break your chains, and be King of yourself,' you endeavour to make them imagine, in the name of Victor Emmanuel, a hidden power that is to emancipate and unite them. Your timid counsels would despair of overcoming the foreign troops that occupy their own Rome. By the negation' of the republican dogma you declare them, on the one hand, in capable of self-guidance, and, on the other, you proclaim that—thanks to the cares of a Piedmontese King and foreign Cabinets—they have already reached the goal. This, Manin,. is the way to lull, not to awaken the people. Italy expected very different language from you. "It is time to speak the truth to Italy without hesitation. Men who continually sacrifice their convictions to the cal - culations oflpre went expediency—naen who await the solving of the Italian problem from abroad, and not from the country itself, tun ill guide it. Men who, after having cursed the delusions of '4B, call upon Italy to retrace that path of sorrow and shame, more than misdirect it ; men who have seen the people victorious upon 10 different points of Italy, w.bile the regular army, ill-led and be trayed, succumbed:, and yet declare that the people cannot conquer without the regular army, are incoherent; men who believe that I:}r a few doubtful declarations and by false adulation we ratty win over tho regular army and the Government that di recta it; men who whisper that, at the price of apostacy, we may have a Piedmontese initiative; men who, after there has been so much bragging of vol canoes ready to explode, do not cry with one voice to the country, Take sham eto thyself and arise !'—these men, either consciously or t unconsciously—from a want of head or of heart—are unfaitliful to the cause of the nation, and the nation ought to rej ect their counsels, whatever name they bear. " That army for which you are ready to forget the entire nation we shall have wi th us. It is an Italian army; it is brave ; it does not forge t ; and it feels as we feel it, the hatred of the foreigner. But we shall only have it by rising armed ourselves, to invoke the aid of its arms. That King whom you now flatter, a s formerly you flattered his father to curse him afterwards— -you may have him. God send you do not live to repent it. " But the King, you in ake him yours whenever you will. "He is young and bra' re. The shame of Novara and the insults of Austria must fr. om time to time gleam before his eyes ; and it is possible t hat ho may ono day be moved to strong thoughts, and drive from him the cowardly men of the Cabinet who now surround him. From being a Pied montese he may become an Italian, but not until you have arisen and offered him an ally more powerfnl than diplo macy—not before Cue voice of an awakened people shall cry unto him—' Sts►nd or fall with us.' Kings sometimes follow ; they never initiate. Whoever seeks to lead the people after the ph e.:ntorn of a monarzhial initiative either deceives them or hi sri lost his own wits. "The traditions of the Piedmontese Government are Royal. The nronar 7chy is restrained by old and new trea ties with other mr inarchies, and by the long-established laws of European ( ader and territorial arrangement. Can the Piedmontese C Fovernment break through them all at once, unprovoked and unconstrained, by force of facts arising from a nes r order of things ? All the policy of the men of the Sarah) dan Cabinet is based on the hope of the sympathy, and, if' necessary, the support of the English and French Cabinets. Can the Sardinian Cabinet bring down upon itself tk Le anger of these two allies whose lan guage, official and secret, imposes upon it solely a policy of resistance ? Ever:y idea of territorial alterations was so lemi fly and unanimously repudiated in the Paris Confo renc es, the living right of Italy thrilling in Venetian Lona har. ly was not ev en humbly and indirectly alluded to by the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries. Recognising the legality of the status quo, they contented themselves with hinting at a possible theory of non-intervention, which should pre v ant Austria extending her present boundaries. And do 3 'oti imagine that King Victor Emmanuel will suddenly take the field, pass the Ticino and the Magra, command .►rioue other sovereigns of Italy to give place, and, front- i ng exconsmunication and the arms of his imperial ally, desire the Pope to yield up his temporal sovereignty ? Do you imagine that, making himself a leader of insurrection and overthrower of territorial equilibrium and the rights of governmental Europe, he will throw down the gauntlet to the entire league of the Kings ? You, were you king, would not do it. Were I king, I would descend from my throne, and, making of myself a simple citizen freed from every link or bond with European monarchy, I would say to the soldiers and the citizens—' Follow me.' Do you hope either the one or the other course from Victor Ern , manuel ! " You, then, whose belief it appears to be that a nation cannot create itself or exist without a king —you cannot have this king you want if you do not open the way for him by an insurrection of the people. Insurrection is for you, as well as for us, the only solution of the Italian problem. For you, as well as for us, the initiative must be with the people; the iloitorca Unification can only follow, and tle Piedmontese army can but respond to the call of its bro thers. Why, then, do you not unite with us to aid, pro mote, and preach the insurrection ? "Why, instead of de- The fuziou of Lombardy with Piedmont. creeing —you, an exile—to an enslaved country a Xing nave allied with the allies of Austria, do you not exert yourself with us to arouse the slumbering, to encourage the uncer tain, to get together material help for them who are wil ling to act, and to speak with us the words that may kindle that war with Austria which alone can give to your King an opportunity to unsheath his sword and display those generous intentions mysteriously whispered in the ears of the credulous by the men of the Court? By invert ing the logical order of the facts which can and ought to constitute and develope our regeneration, you men who call yourselves `positive' and `practical' do much mischief to the people by dismembering that national party whioh should be their guide, by deserting the only common ground upon which all our forces might and could be united. You do mischief to the King by making him ap pear to Europe as the secret promoter of agitations hostile to the Government, and drawing upon him the admoni tions and menaces of those very Cabinets which (however disposed to bail a powerful fact once accomplished) desire to prevent him from rising, and constrain him to bind him self anew towards the European Governments with pro mises of peace, order, and immobility, if not even of re pression. You are at once imprudent friends and luke warm and uncertain patriots. " Why persist in this path? Why do not all men who love their country bind themselves in a common bond of thought and action to show to Italy that the moment for rising has come, and to help her to seize it with rapidity and power ? Do they pause alarmed at Republican exclu siveism ? "No ! you will not utter these words, Manin ; you of all men could not speak them without a blush. The history of all the attempts made by ma to unite all of us upon a common ground, which is not my ground, and to aid the generous tendencies of a people which is better than we literati are, is known to you. But, leaving aside the efforts of an individual, the unanimous cry cf all the Republicans in Italy, consolidated by undeniable facts, would repel the accusation. " Let the nation save the nation; let the nation, once free and united, decide upon its own destiny. Is this an exclusive programme ? Can a national party exist without such a formula ? Cannot, ought not, all those who seek a common country, to whatever fraction they belong, to em brace each other and unite beneath the shelter of that flag ? Does not the future remain open to each? " We, Republicans to-day, as we were Republicans yes terday, do not seek to impose the Republic. We declare the country the sole umpire. You, Republicans yesterday, seek to-day to impose the monarchy. Which of us is ex clusive? " JOSEPH MAZZINI. " June 31." GENERAL WILLIAMS AT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. The annual distribution of prizes to the successful stu dents in the faculty of medicine of University College took place yesterday afternoon, in the spacious theatre of the institution, which was crowded to the ceiling upon the occasion. Major-Gen. Sir W. F. Williams, Bart., M.P., pre sided, and was supported by Earl Fortescue, Sir L. Goldsmid, Mr. Grote, Dr. Booth, &c., in addition to which the general company presented a very brilliant ap pearance on account of the very large number of ladies who graced and enlivened the ceremony by their presence. The proceedings commenced by the dean of the faculty of medicine (S. Cooper, Esq.,) reading the annual report of the council, from which it appeared that the institution continues to progress in the estimation of the public, and the course of instruction has met with well-merited sup port from every part of the British empire, its cosmo politan principles being its best recommendation.

Goldsmid Prize (°st), for Experimental Research in Analytical Chemistry.—Prizeman, Robt. Williamson. The ceremony having concluded, the gallant Coairman I addressed the students. He said—My lord, ladies, and gentlemen, I regret exceedingly that you have not had this chair occupied by a more competent individual than myself, and the reason why I have taken the chair upon the present occasion is, that I might be enabled to say a few words to my young friends about one of my companions, who has been a student of this institu• tion—l mean Dr. Sandwith. (Loud cheers.) He was with me during the whole struggle in Asia Minor, and from what I know and have seen of him, I can tell you how to emulate his virtues, and when you arrive at his age you will receive that meed of praise which your country has awarded to him. When I entered Asia to undertake the defence of that part of the coun try I found the Turkish soldiers stretched upon straw and surrounded by filth and degradation of every kind, with nothing to help their recovery from sickness and wounds, many of the latter beirg of a most severe na ture. The state of things was heartrending in the ex treme, but Dr. Sandwith, notwithstanding he was suf fering from illness, in a short time completely changed the face of those hospitals, and when we came away those poor soldiers were surrounded with every comfort. Again, upon the field of battle, instead of lying in the agonies of severe wounds, he provided everything neces sary to save the wounded soldier. (Cheers.) I hold Dr. Sandwith up to you as a pattern, and I sincerely hope that you will follow him. I will also name another distinguished member of your community, Dr. Parkes. Although I am personally unknown to him, not having served in the same section of the army, I know his worth from those who do know him, and who value and esti mate his virtues as a medical man. (Cheers.) I offer you my sincere congratulations upon the distribution of these medals here to-day. You must not pause in your career, but look forward and consider those bits of gold and silver as only laying the foundation of your future fame. To those who are now unsuccessful, I say, let them persevere, and the next time they will be among the gainers. With respect to the conduct of the students, it gives me very great pleasure to say that there is not upon record one single instance of insubordination or breach of discipline of a serious character. (Cheers.) Such an announcement must be very consoling to the friends and fathers of the pupils, many of whom are here present, and to whom the education of their sons is always a source of considerable anxiety. They must feel pleased at what I have jast stated, and I beg to offer them my warmest congratulations, and I hope that this institution may continue to flourish in the way it has hitherto done, and that the students will go on as they have promised. (Cheers.) Let them remember that death by degradation and immoral conduct is far worse than death on the field of battle. When a father loses a son on the battle field, his grief is consoled by the reflection that that son has done good service to his country ; but if he dies the death of degradation his memory is always a source of bitterness to his friends. The gallant general concluded, amid loud cheers, and the proceedings terminated with " Three cheers for the heroes of Kars," followed by three more for Dr. Sand. wit:a, which were warmly responded to, and the eora• pany separated. !TATS OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, JULY 31. The yArn-market has been stronger to-day the demand being more of a general character than for any particu lar marks t, and prices have an u pward tendency. The flue weather, perhaps, more than any advices from the various mi trkets, is encouraging operations, and e sound. and health. y tone pervades business circles. At the same time the disposition to speculate among holders of cotton at I tiverpool is a drawback. Spinners are still prices, being unable to at a disath rantag,e as regards command Temunerative rates at the present market value of cc tton, so that any advance would be likely to discourage business very seriously. Manufacturers are working rates in many instances less remunerative than those obtainable by the spinner, and nei , her are in tibld have a good pa 3i tion, though the increase of husine , s percsp ilnatbely°t-i yarn and cioth this morning, and for som • days pact, . h as ten d e d t o a m e re cheeriul feeling than we experienced. The linen trade is compara tively quiu but Messrs. Richardson, Tee, and Co. re port that ti .ere has been more than an average demand for export during the month, and that stocks aro not accumulating in any department of the trade, while lower desc Tiptions of goods are very scarce, and com mand high er prices. The handle= production is now small, and may be expected to remain so until after the harvest, The Beard of Trade returns show that the im port of Q ax during June was less than in the correspond ing mot rth .of last year, whic h may partly account for the higl t price of yarns. Spinners have esta'Jlished the advance of price lately sought and are fully engaged, as are als( m net manufacturers, both by hand and pow er loom ; the irefore, taking into account the prospects of a good Beni; / nd durieg the autumn,there seems no chance for p being lower for some time to come. ~_ iship as to hard D the from ;'LE- f the t the ,ury ; 30th wag xcept ,050/. 5 ° 4 4 10 4 4 1 0 , nil l' 'lived )111c., 1 vel 30 63 tbi! ~ ec tea id by Yo Laoo 11i 2 1026 49i, 794 9 34f 5 x d St. 1 5 25 a 11 S 4 4 4 32 27 i 2 1 i 4 3 1 i pm pm x d
