A 11, 4 14 , • , , LO`4MON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1856. Who shall issue the writ de lunatico inquirendo in the case of the King of NAPLES ? That his Majesty is politically mad, all can see but himself. Who shall put or take him into custody ? He reasons, to be sure, as if quite unsuspicious of hie own insanity, and is indignant at the idea of " constraint of a Royal will." All madmen talk in like manner. Very recently we remember a case in which a fellow was os indignant as King BOMEA now is, at the defence offered by his coun sel, and insisted upon his sanity and the gallows. But for the cruelty to others of testing his Nea politan MAJESTY by a longer trial, it would be well to give him rope enough—only taking good care that the gloomy idiot of Vienna did not protect the frantic madman of Naples from his own subjects. A lunatic at large is, how ever, a hazardous matter, and Royal lunacy, especially when like that of the Bourbons and Hapsburgs, it takes the shape of the most mali cious and ferocious cruelty, ought to be dealt with most summarily. What hundreds and thousands must suffer before the dagger or poison cures the madness of Czars, Kings, and Emperors ! Any onb of their victims meanwhile is a reproach to the by-standing world, which is surely interested in the sanity of its governors ; and while the fetters of POERIO, now on the verge of proving fatal, are a specimen of BO` BA rule no false deli cacy ought to prevent immediate action. Mr. COBDEN will, of course, lecture us on the misehiefa Of intervention, and on the necessity of leaving nations to settle their own quarrels. Will lie,plead for allowing amalman to set his own houses on fire, to the peril of his domestics' lives and of his neighbours' property ? Yet more--- , will he justify our leaving the Sicilians and Neapolitans at the mercy of an armed madman, whom are placed upon the throne . on the as sunaption that he was of sound mind ? England is „especially responsible for the policy by which the Bntrbons everywhere, and FERDINAND among them, were restored in France, Spain, and Nupi.es, and she owes it to their victims to place them, if possible, in as good a position as they would have been in without her wars for despots. Lei England first reverse the effects of her legi timist wars, 'and untie the hands of the peoples, and then we may consent to the Manchester non intervention policy. Till that is done, non-inter vention simply means abetting the cruelties of despots. - . We have put all i n t o t h e i r hands, they have abu` . secl our unwarrantable folly far worse than mortal could have divined, and now we are to be called on to leave them to do their worst ! In the face of all civilised Earope, and in these days of rapid intercourse and growing brother hood and sympathy between nations, the con science of civilisation is to be aggrieved by com plicity with the barbarities of a Boerna ! We say by complicity, for when a few of our spare first rates and gun-boats have but to visit the tyrant's den in order to insure the liberation of his cap tives, it is complicity, and nothing else. But the pious petticoat-maker royal to the - VIRGIN ' tells Lord PALMERSTON of " doing to others as we would that others should do unto us !" For the hundredth time we are reminded of the Dpvie quoting Scripture. The barbarous gaoler, the literally slow murderer of the perfectly innocent and noble POERIO, to talk of doing as we would be done unto ! Why, the principle in practice would load DOMBA with immense weights of iron, Would deprive him of association with the polished and .educated (no loss to him that), would chain him to felons of tho lowest c l ass ( aga i n h e might be at Lome), and would consign him to a damp dungeon, which rnus:.-, b 3 but a lingering ,death. The perpetrator of these infernal erueltie.-, worthy of r espect and on a man every way esteem as Lard JOILN RUSSELL, or Mr. GLAD STONE, or ' Alr. WALPOLE; taking into his mouth before all Europe the fundamental principle of Christian morality ! Was SATAN himself ever so shameless ? But, endeavouring to write with calmness in a case of such atrocity, we deny that our interven tion in such a case will justify the hypocrite Aus tria in her interventions. It would be, ind , :ed, but the necessary censeTtence of her abuse of intervention. The HAPSBURGi have intervened in Italy and elsewhere for despots and ,gainst their people (and these enslavers of nations avow that they will yet do so), till they have brought things to this pass. To be sure it is not revolt ing to them. The ferocious wretches who could murder in cold blood the unarmed BRUNETTI and his children must inwardly delight in BOMBA'S cruelties ; still they wish to justify their inter vention, and pretend "order" as the reason. Well, Europe denounces the " order" of filling damp dungeons on mere suspicion with the best citizens of a State, and keeping down a fine population by Swiss bayonets. Now, therefore, Austria her self pretends to intercede with the brother tyrant —a private note, of course, accompanying the diplomatic one, and telling him that " all's right," but that appearances must be kept up. We appeal to the people of England to tolerate sham-work no longer. They must demand that Austria be ousted immediately from all Italy—at least from what Europe never gave her by the Treaty of "Vienna. Austria has no pretext for resisting the demand. They must demand that intervention shall not mean liberating a Prince from responsibility to his people, but enforcing that responsibility. The least demur to the evacuation of the Legations and Parma by Aus trian troops must be met by the presence of our ships of war at Naples and in the Adriatic ; and why not by a pretty effective demonstration ? FRANUIS JOSEPH, however, like Boxua, is a thorough coward. He would but need to know that we were in earnest, and he would drop back from the advance of an English fleet as carefully as he stepped back in the Principalities, if the Russian troops did but halt in their retreat for a few days, As to complications, as the phrase is, arising out of acts of vigour, decision is as good for des pots as for thieves. Resist them, and they quail. Attempt to arrest them, they will run. Parlia mentary and secret diplomacy, is the true author of all. the complications. Austria and Naples have but to witness the exultation which would pervade all England if they were dealt with in English style to know that the time for submis sion was come. We should have no more prating about doing as wo would be don© unto, but deeds something more like it towards unhappy Italy. Somehow an unusual interest in Italy has been awakened in this country. Partly the wish, it may be, that ourlate costly foreign action should result in something better than the sealing the fate of Poland, and leaving Russia as strong as ever ; partly the conduct of Sardinia has raised Italians higher than. previously in public estimation, and satisfied all of their capacity fur liberty as well as their right to it. Nothing could Lord PALMERSTON do which would make him more popular than to do as much for hundreds and thousands of noble Italians as he did for the worthless Don PAcincto. Austria would be terrified to see England become as popular in Italy as she is in France, and we may become yet more so. It is in the power of Lord PALMERSTON to please his own countrymen, and to secure the alliance of the Italian people at the present moment. To do it he has but to an nounce that England has resolved on the emanci pation of Italy from foreign domination. Do mestic tyranny could not then survive a year. After a stringent and protracted investigation into the causes of the late fearful explosion of fire-damp at the Cymmer colliery, by which no less than one hundred and fourteen persons were pre maturely hurried to their account, the jury, by a majority of 17 to 1, have returned a verdict of manslaughter against the overseer, oversman, and three firemen engaged in the pit. This may be regarded almost as their unanimous decision ; for if it be true, as asserted, that the dissentient has been appointed to a situation as fireman in the colliery since the commencement of the investiga tion, it is obvious that his opinion cannot carry with it much weight, or be at all placed in com petition with, the views of his disinterested brethren. The question is one of paramount importance to the safety of a very considerable body of our fellow-subjects. It is true that the mining popu lation of the country may be considered as a class per se completely isolated in its pursuits, and that the general public are not personally liable to the risks and perils to which its members are daily subjected. We should even from pecuniary, if from no higher motives, endeavour to save them from the consequences of their own reckless in difference to danger, and the negligence of those who regard the lives of their fellow-creatures merely as a matter of s. d. The extraordinary increase in the price of coals a few years since proves, lal..yoncl the possibility of doubt, the unplea sant consequences of any discontent on the part of the miners to the comforts of " our ain fire sides." But this point, although quite sufficient to attract attention to the subject, sinks into in signifi3ance when compared with the sacrifice of more than a hecatomb of human lives, the great majority whereof were husbands and fathers, the protectors and providers of helpless families, the majority of whom will now be compelled to ex change the comforts of home for the tender mer cies of the Union workhouse. That " familiarity breeds contempt " is a trite maxim, with which every schoolboy who has passed into round-hand is fully acquainted. Its accuracy is attested by the experience of every day, and we know that miners afford the strongest illus tration of the general principle. O❑ the most trivial and inadequate grounds they will disregard the precautions taken to insure their security. To gain a little additional light, or even to light a pipe, they will, if an oppor tunity offers, remove the shades of their lamps, even in places that have given indications of im pending dangers. This fact was so well known that when Lord EXMOUTH, some 40 years since, was compelled to man his vessels with raw hands, he sought out miners, as persons whose avocations rendered them as insensible of and indifferent to perils as the most seasoned sailors. The same spirit prevails at the present day ; and it is, therefore, indispensable that thos3 who are realising large profits from their labours and risks should permit no sordid feeling to prevent them from establishing every possible safeguard, and the parties engaged by them from exercising lade fatigiLle vigilance in the exercise of the trusts confided to their charge. The men are like help less infants in many respects, and the parties autho rised to wacli over their safety are legally ra• sponsible for the consequences of any catastrophe that may occur through their negligence or indif ference. The law on the sultject is perfectly clear. When ever a death is occasioned by the carelessness., or even the unskilfulness, of any person undertaking definite duties, he will be guilty of manslaughter. In the absence of direct or implied malice it would - 6ave him from the consequences of a conviction for murder, but would not allow him f u ll im punity the ;realer the liability rulthegreat of greater the party.e h amount of the risk This is especially so in mining operations ; and, there fore, every possible care should be taken to prevent, not only any unforeseen danger, but to guard agaiLst accidents ari.,ing from the imprudence of the men themselves, I❑ every respect there seems to have been a very great disregard of duty by those entrusted with the control and management of the Cymmer Colliery. The ventilation was grossly defective, and that seems to be the Alpha and Omega of mining security. The same carelessness so pain fully observable in the management pervaded all the minor departments, and. hence the fearful calamity. But the punishment of the parties implicated is by no means sufficient. We should profit by the painful lesson, and see that - an inspection and supervision is enforced that will, if it cannot alto gether prevent, at least materially reduce the chances of such accidents. It is the duty of the State to interfere, and save the mine owners and their agents from the consequences of their own imprudence. If this obvious duty be neglected, our legislators cannot be held morally irrespons ible for the deaths of future victims. Parliament has its duties, as well as the overseers, overmen, and firemen. So long as difference; of opinion respecting the mode in which the education of the people is to be set about are allowed to stand in the way as they now do much progress is not to be looked for. " The assertion is sufficiently trite," says the reader. We admit it. But what does he say to this° " Until the general laws of physi ology—the laws of man's physical being—are ge nerally taught and understood, there can be no thorough education, and no such amelioration of man's condition as may justifiably, nay, with ab solute reason, be looked for." He may hesitate— but it is, nevertheless, a fact. The mental and moral faculties may be industriously stimulated, and, under favourable circumstances, strengthened and developed with considerable success ; but without a knowledge of the laws of physiology obedience to those laws is not to be looked for, and without obedience the perfect development of man's capacities, no more than his rescue from these miseries which science has shown to be avoidable, can reasonably be expected. It is too much the fashion among those who are sincerely desirous to have the people edu cated, in order to the amelioration of their general condition, to luok simply to the cul tivation of the mental and moral nature, instead of man as a whole, a being of flesh, blood, bones, muscles, and tissues, as well as of intellect and moral capacity. That this, as we have already intimated, is a mistake will appear from the fact that a mutual sympathy admittedly exists between the parts, and that the body can not suffer without injury to its associates, the mind and moral being. The desire of the ancient sage to have a sound mind in a sound body argued the possession of a wisdom before his age—but, nevertheless, an ignorance of the entire truth. To have a sound mind, a mind capable of achieving all that PROVIDENC3 designed man to achieve, it is necessary to have a sound body, free from personally-acquired or hereditary phy sical taint. Without mental or moral cultivation man is a savage, and without due physical training he cannot be said to be thoroughly civilised, for be must be less than he otherwise might be. Ignorant of physiolOgy, ho neglects what is ne cessary for health—overworks himself or rusts in sloth—eats, drinks, or sleeps more or less than he ought, disregards the essentials of healthy respi ration, and becomes diseased ; or where none of these errors can be charged against him the mind is tasked beyond its strength, and if it escapes being " overthrown," physical disorganisation and mental debility are the inevitable comes espences the action and reaction unless relief be given, going on until an early grave engulphs the unconscious suicide, and it may also be victim. To a diseased and disordered body succeeds men tal and moral deterioration, and a special aptitude for being preyed upon by whatever pernicious agency may come across him. Thus it is, to a large extent, disease and crime are multiplied ; and the mischief, far from being confined to one generation, is perpetuated in the next and next. In our impression of Thursday the reader was presented with a &sips° of the progress of crime among us ; let him add to the knowledge thus acquired the fact that upwards of one hundred thousand human beings are annually perishing in Earjland alone from preventable diseases, and that the preventable mortality in Ireland and Scotland is even greater. It is evident, then, were it from these facts alone, how essential it is that a knowledge of the laws of physiology should be imparted before any system of edu cation can be pronounced co:nplete, and that it is the duty of every one to de the best in his power to have all education in harmony with, and subservient to, the will of our common CF-EA TOR. It is no abstruse science, involving years of patient application, that we would have taught, but certain facts and rules of conduct deducible from them, readily and speedily learned by indi viduals of the most ordinary capacity. To those who would wish to see the subject treated at greater length, and in a popular style, we recommend the perusal of a pamphlet,* containing an eloquent Lecture on Education by an ardent sanitarian, known to many of our readers, at the same time sautioning them not to underrate his facts, because of what they may deem the extravagance of some of his conclusions. If obedience to nature's laws will not bring on the millennium, it is quite cer tain such obedience will obviate and remove a vast amount of misery, and tend greatly to pro mote the happiness and the moral and intellectual elevation of mankinfl. * Lecture on Education (Ilitroductery).

The Rajah of Surat, and several Indian vassa!s and grandees, have visited this town to pay their respects to the Princes of Oude. The Queen of Oude and her ladies occupy the suite of apartments on the first floor of the Royal York Hotel, the rooms being situated close to the balcony. Two of the rooms—the Queen residing in the lower—have bow windows. Her Majesty is sur rounded by screens, so that if the door is opened she may not be seen. Last night the crowd outside the hotel called for the princes to appear, but access to the balcony could only be obtained through her Majesty's apartment, and the green had the greatest difficulty in retiring from the apartment unobserved. The feat was effected at last by drapery being held around her by the Eunuchs. The window blinds of the ladies' apartments are kept down during the whole of the day and night, and the Eunuchs guard the doors of the apartments. Occasionally, when the guardian's attention is with ' drawn, female curiosity is excited, the window blind is :lightly and timidly drawn aide, and a sight is then obtained from the street of the houris of the Lucknow or Fyzabad harem. The complexion of these beauties is exceedingly dark, the hair is jet black, and the face remarkably round and small. Mr. Andrews, the Mayor of Southampton, was introduced to the Queen of Ouda by Major Bird. The major men tioned his name outside the carriage, whereupon her Majesty put her hand through the blind and his worship shook hands with her. The transfer of trio full Court of a Ilindoo nation from the region of the Himalayan mountains to Southamp ton has calved the utmost amazement and curiosity to the inhabitants here, and a crowd is always around the hotel. At every window of the building men rolled ap parently in cachmere shawls, are to be seen leaning out, or smoking, or performing ablutions. The coffee-room is given up to the inferior castes, who are kept busily employed. The bar is one of the cooking rooms. Inside tha inner doorway sit the upper servants, the " gold sticks " of the palace, smoking, chatting, and purchas ing goods. Natives are going over the town purchas ing fruit, poultry, and clothing. Nearly all the party carry thelmost portable of their treasures and money on their persons, which give to some a very picturesque and to others a very grotesque appearance. It is un certain how long the party will stay in Southampton. Pamphlets are about to be published, making known the complaint of the Court of Oude against the East India Company. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, AUG. 22. Viscount Pal,nerston, Mr. Secretary Lshouchere, and the Judge-Advocate, .had audiences of the Queen yester day. The Rev. C. Baring hai an aulience to do homage on his appointment as Bishop of Gloucester. His loriship was introduced by Mr. Secretary Labouchere. The Rev. John Vane was Clerk of the Closet. The Duke of Cambridge arrived yesterday on a visit, attended by C )1. the Hon. J. Macdonald. Tue Queen and Princ-, with the Princess Royal and Princess Alice, drove out in an open carriage. Her Majesty gave the annual file to-day to the la bourers and workpeople employed on the Osborne estate; also to the seamen and marines of the Royal Yachts, the Trinity-house, and the Coast•guardmen at East Cowes. The detachment of the 28th Regiment, from Eist Co wes, was also present. The bands of the Royal Marines and 22,1 Regiment were on the ground, and played during the afternoon. Dinner was provided for upwards of 500 persons, after which a variety of games and amusements took place before the Queen and Prince and the whole of the Royal family. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston arrived in town yesterday from a visit to her Majesty at Osborne. Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial office to the Governor of Canada. SIR CHARLES NAPIER AT ST. PETERS- B rl RG. Our facetious contemporary, Puna, administers a rebuke to the erratic Sir Charles on his return from his remarkable visit to St. Petersburg—which, however severe and well-merited, we are afraid he will be found unable to appreciate. The cartoon for the week repre sents the gallant admiral, "in full tog," rushing with outspread arms, and his most cordial smile, to embrace the Russian bear, who, attired in regimentals, and with unsure gait and slobber, waddles uneasily forward to reciprocate the unexpected greeting—" Does not a meeting like this make amends!" In addition to the latent satire—for the due comprehension of which the fulcra of the admiral to reach St. Petersburg with the fleet under his command must be remembered—there is an apparent congruity in the meeting, as depicted, which to many will prove irresistibly amusing, if not, as some may suggest, instructive. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sla,—Frances, sister of Richard Talbot, Duke of Tyr connell, married first James Cusack, of Cussington, by whom she had three sons and one daughter, of whom there are descendants. She married, secondly, Sir Thomas Newcomen, and had issue, of whom there are descendants. She died the 17th February, 1687, and was buried the 20th of same month,in Clonsalagh Church, near Dublin. The truth of the above is testified by her son, Thomas Newcomen, who registered her funeral entry in Ulster's 011ie?, Dublin Castle, where it is still to be seen. Lord Talbot of Malahide is not a descen dant of this Frances, as she did not marry a Talbot ; and if another sister did, while the heirs of Frances still exist, he cannot be heir general of Tyrconnall. But, in fact, the Dike hal several sisters, whose heirs still exist.—Your obedient servant, August 15, 185 G. SCRUTATOR. APOTHECARIES'-HALL.—The following are the names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise on Thursday, Aug. 21 :—T. Biasson, jun., Billingborough, Lincolnshire ; M. J. Sturges, Louden ; F. Lewis, Birmingham. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. NOTTINGHAM, Friday.—Throughout the week (with the exception of Monday) we have had heavy rains, with very little in termission, and great anxiety is felt for the safety of the crop. This morning the temperature is lower, and the weather cleared up, and there is more appearance of its becoming settled. Harvest operations have been greatly impeded, and there is no doubt that to some ex tent the crops have sustained injury. The consequences, however, would hive been more severe had the tempe rature been higher. There has also bean a brisk wind, and this morning there is a fresh breeze blowing, which will dry the corn. Up to the present time there has not been much damage done to the cereal crops, and pas tures and turnips are improved by the rains. FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD H. M.S. CRESSY, —Yester day afternoon an inquest was held on board her Majesty's ship Cressy, lying at Spithead, on the body of Thomas Barnes, an able seaman, who came to his death by an accident on board that vessel. Frederick Norris, an able seaman of the Cressy, deposed that on Wednesday morn ing last between 8 and 9 o'clock, he saw the deceased in the rigging of the ship, where he had gone for the pur pose of loosening the sails, as the wind was blowing a heavy gale at tha time, and he endeavoured to catch the futtock of the rigging to enable him to get over, but he missed his hold and fell. On coming down his feet caught the yard tackling, and he fell headforemost on to the deck. There was no person above him at the time, and be thought the fail of the deceased was entirely occa sioned through missing his hold of the futtock. He was a perfectly sober man. S nne other evidence corrobo rative of this testimony was given, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. VACANCIES, APPOINTMENTS, AND PROMOTIONS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE —The Board of Trade.—Mr. Charles Peskin has been appointed Junior Supplementary Clerk in the B iard of Trade. Mr. Herbert Soft has been ap pointed Senior Clerk. The Admiralty (Department of the accanet iat-Gereeral of the Navy).—Mr. H.

WINDING UP 01' THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY (PEARGUS O'CoNaloa's).—We have just been shown a circular emanating from the Court of Chancery, and re lating to Vie proceeding under the Joint-stock Companies Winding-up Acts of 1848 and 1849, for the dissolution of the National Land Company, in which so many per sons, chiefly of the working classes, in Nottingham, Basford, Ison-green, Carrington, &c., are interested ; and from which it appears that the commissioner, Mr. Francis Roxburgh, will sit in Nottingham, for Nottin g . hawsbire, at the Flying Horse Hotel, on Friday, the 10th of October and following days, to receive from each subscriber proof of his claim, in order to participate in the division of tle funds. On the previous and suc ceeding Wednesdays we observe that the commissioner will also open his sittings of Derbyshire and Leicester. shire, at the Royal Hotel, in Derby, and the Bell Hotel, in Leicester, respectively. It is suggeraed by the official manager (Hr. Goodcliap) that it would save expense for all the memberS of a district to depute their secretary to act for them, if they think proper. It appears that partly paid up shames may participate pro rata in the division. [The conduct of all these winding-ups are cruel jobs—indeed offshoots of Chancery villaniesd— Nottingham. Review. • LAND IN WEST KENT.—The Charity CommiFsioners have approved of the sale of the Maidstone estate, near the Rochester-read, frowing the New-road, by the trustees, to the Conservative Land Society, which will offer the land in plots for building, being the twenty-sixth estate purchased for distriliution amongst the members. The Maidstone estate is within a quarter of a mile of the Town-hall, and the recent opening of the direct railway has increased the value of building land in the town. LATEST A EWS. TRIESTE, AUG. 21. By intelligence from Constantinople to the 15th, it would appear that the Roumains had ad dressed another memorial to the allied ambassa dors, entreating the junction of the principalities, and the nomination of a prince chosen from the royal families of Belgium, Sweden, or Savoy, to govern them. It was said that the allied com- mi3sioners were to proceed to Greece, in order to regulate the financial affairs of that country. ST. PETERSBURG, Aua. 20. The Emperor has just ordered that each Go vernment shall send a deputation of five Jews to St. Petersburg to form a council on Jewish affairs. MADRID, AUG. 21. By a royal decree published in the Gazette, wheat, flour, oats, and foreign maize are ex empted from import duty until June next. A letter from Berlin of the 19th, in the Presse Beige, says :—" The Prussian Government has determined to wreak a terrible vengeance for the affair of the Riff.. A company of the chasseurs of the guard from Potsdam, another of the 4th chasseurs from Magdeburg, a third of the Bth chasseurs of the Rhenish province, and a com pany of Marines from Dantzic have been placed on a war footing, and are about to leave in trans port vessels. An order has been sent to the Prussian vice-consul at Fez to inform the Moorish Government of what is intended, and to declare that all relations will be interrupted between the two powers, should any attempt be made to op pcse a descent on the coasts of the Riff. Eng land, it is affirmed here, will co-operate in the repression of the pirates." ASIATIC TURKEY. EVACUATION OF KARS BY THE RUSSIANS. ERZEROUM, JULY 29. Colonel L. Melekoff, the officer in command of the Russian forces at Kars, arrived here on Sunday last, the 27th inst., with his staff. In a few days he returns to Kars to give that place up to the Turks. Hussein Pacha is to be sent to take over the place from the Russians. This same Hussein Paella was the chief of the staff at Kars under Shukri Pacha, and was sent away by General Wil liams for drunkenness and debauchery, and now that General Williams has left they send him back honourably. The crops in the plains in this neighbourhood are almost entirely destroyed by drought; in very many instances the wheat is dried up and withered before it has come into ear. The troops here are almost nil. There are 1,300 in Erz?roum and 1,500 at Hassan Kaleh (distant six hours). A new army will have to be raised. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Moniteur contains a long report to the Em peror, from the Minister of Marine, on the admi nistration of thepersonnel of the navy, which forms a suite to his previous report of the sth of June last, on the organisation of the same persons. The decree to which this report is the preamble com prises two grand divisions. The first relates to the pay and the regulation of the expenses, and gives the complete accounts of the navy with respect to the State ; and the second part regulates the admi nistration and the internal accounts of the naval department on shore and of the vessels afloat ; and also directs the management of the funds and the stores. In the session before last of the Senate Baron de Ladoucette brought forward a proposition having for its object to lay down the bases of a rural code. A committee was appointed to examine the subject, and it devoted several months to the task. The Moniteur now publishes a first report, which M. de Casabianca was charged to present in the name of the committee. The plan elaborated by that body divides the rural code into three parts—the first relating to the soil, the second to waters, and the third to the rural police. The report now published by the official journal only gives the first part of this plan—that which con cerns the soil—but it treats of various questions of great interest to agriculture, and particularly those which refer to the division of property, the forced co-operation of landowners in works of common in terest, the right of commonage, country usages, enclosures, and rural contracts. The other two portions of the code are to be the object of separate reports. _ _ The grand dinner given by the members of the medical profession in France to the French, Eng lish, Turkish, and Sardinian medical officers who served in the late war, took place on Wednesday evening in the large room of the Hotel du Louvre: Baron Paul Dubois filled the chair, and more than 600 French and foreign medical men were present. At the dessert the chairman rose and proposed a toast, "To the manes of the medical men who died courageously in the East ;" also one, "To Napoleon III." Dr. Ricord proposed, "To the Russian men, who attended to the wounded pri soners with great humanity." Dr. Maheux "To the universal Medical Fraternity united by science and humanity." These toasts were all drunk with great enthusiasm, and were responded to by M. Jules Roux, of Toulon, in the name of the fleet ; by M. Begin, in the name of the medical pro fession generally ; by M. Bandana, in the name of the army of the East ; by Sir John Hall, for the English army ; by the Chevalier Comisetti, physician-in-chief of the Sardinian army, on behalf of his fellow-countrymen ; and by Dr. Sinapian, professor at the School of Medicine at Constanti nople, in the name of the Turkish medical profes sion. Professor Piorry road some verses composed for the occasion, which were warmly applauded. At the end of the banquet a subscription was opened for the widows and orphans of the nume rous medical men who died in the East, which was liberally contributed to. The Journal du Loiret says :—"The Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince Imperial passed through the Aubrais at a quarter-past eight on Tuesday evening. The train stopped for nearly a quarter of an hour at the station, but no one alighted. It was quite dark at the time, but the salon in which the Emperor and Empress were seated was brilliantly lighted, and every one could see their Majesties. His Majesty conver,el with the functionaries who were present at the station, and questioned thorn as to the state of the harvest in Beane°, and ou the consequences of the inundations in the department. The Empress saluted with her usual grace and affability the people assem bled. Ono of them having said, " Madame, w e s'iould like to see the Prince Imperial," her Majesty replied, My friends, I should be happy to show him to you, but he is asleep.' Do not disturb him, then,' was the reply, and the people abstained from any cheers, that the sleep of the Prince should not be broken." The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Strasburg, Aug. 20, addressed to it by the owner of the Lyonnais French steamer, erroneously stated to have been lost in ascending the Danube.

Cotto SARDINIA. The following interesting particulars respecting the fortress of Alessandria, which is now receiving new fortitications through the care and foresight of the Piedmontese Government, are given by a Turin journal:— '~ The spot where ANrsandria now stands was oc cupied in 1163 by a small town called Rovereto, situated near the two rivers Tanaro and Bormida. Durin; the wars of the Guelphs and Ghibellines its stroll? position attractA the attention of the latter, who surrounded it in 1169 with a mud wall, and called it Alessandria. From the circumstance that straw w.ls mixed with mud to give it sufficient firmness, the people gave it the name of Alessendria della Paglia, which it retains to this day. In 1174, Frederic l3arbarossa besieged it with a formidable army, but was obliged to raise the siege after it bad lasted seven months. It was subsequently besieged, and changed hands several times. In 1528, the Emperor Frederic 11. took and sacked it. In 1278, the Marquis of Montferrat, go vernor of the Milanese, took possession of it, and sur rounded it with brick walls and towers. In 1644, the Spanish commandant, Conde de S:rvella, turned the waters of the Bormida into the moat to increase its strength, and in the following year the fortress received eight ravelins, also surrounded with wet ditches. The present citadel was commenced in 1736, and com pleted in 1745. On the 12th of October of the same year Alessandria capitulated, and was occupied by the Spanish troops under the orders of the Marquis of Ca ravacal ; this was the last time it was taken after a siege. In 1795, the citadel was given up to the French; it was blockaded by the Russirns in 1799, and capitulated on the Ist of Thermidor of that year. It was again taken possession of by the French in 1800, after the me morable battle of Marengo. Generals Marescat and Chasseloup re-fortified it at a cost of 30,000,000 fr., and renderid it one of the strongest fortresses in Europe; but after the fall of the first Empire the Austrians de stroyed the whole of the works. The plan which is now to be carried out consists of a bastioned body and four detached forts, one situated on the Bormida, a second en the Tanaro, and the other two to the east and south-east of the place. This fortress, with the aid of Casale on one side and Genoa cn the other, will en able a body of from 20,000 to 25,000 men to keep a much larger army in check for many months, until the arrival of succour from other quarters." AUSTRIA. Baron James de Rothschild has jus left Vienna for St. Petersburg, in order to consert with the Russian Government relative to the railways which are about to be constructed in that empire by a company of which he is the principal representative. A letter from Vienna, in the Suabian Mercury, says :—" M. de Bazily, Russian Councillor of State, has brought here the official assurance that Russia has no intention whatever of eluding the obligations she had contracted by the treaty of Paris. The intelligence was received with great satisfaction." Baron de Koller, the Austrian Commissioner for the re-organisation of the Principalities, left Vienna on the 18th for Constantinople. ITALY. A letter from Rome, in the Cologne Gazette, says :- " The negotiations relative to the situation of the Ro man Catholic Church in Wurtemberg, carried on by that power and the Holy see, have terminated satisfactorily. The final measures were to be concerted in a last inter view between Baron d'Ow, the Wurtemburg Envoy, and Cardinal de Reisach. On the other hand, the nego tiations with the Government of Baden appear not to be likely to terminate satisfactorily at the present mo ment." --- - A letter from Naples of the 11th inst., in the Correspondance Italienne, says : " Our diplomatists are vEry active in their endeavours to prevail on the King to give satisfaction to the Wes tern Powers. The representatives of the Pope and of the Grand Duke of Tuscany earnestly support the de mands of Austria. Count dell'Aquila and Count Trapani, brother of the King, had been applied to and entreated to represent to his Majesty the danger of his position. The accounts from the provinces are satisfactory. There, is well as in the capital, the r °vie are calm, but resc• lute. It is said that the last reports, received from the intendants of Cosenza, Reggio, and other provinces of the kingdom, have produCed considerable alarm at Court. Orders have been given to concentrate the Swiss troops in and about Naples. The Government is also said to entertain serious apprehensions for the tranquillity of Sicily." SWEDEN. The Swedish Chambers have approved of the proposition of the Minister of Marine, which fixes the strength of the Swedish and Norwegian fleets for 1857 as follows :—Sweedish fleet : 10 sail of the line, 6 frigates, 4 schooners, 4 brigs, 9 steam schooners, 77 gun-boats, 122 armed boats, 6 mor tar vessels, 23 steam despatch boats, 2 royal yachts, 21 transports, 524 armed row boats. Norwegian fleet : 2 frigates, 2 schooners, 2 steam schooners, 1 brig, 43 gun-boats, 5 tugs, with a steam frigate and a despatch boat, both of which are now being finished on the stocks at Christiana. All the ves sels of war are ready to go to sea, but in time of peace they are laid up in ordinary. Only the tessels strictly required by the Government are kept on service. THE MEDITERRANEAN. MARSEILLES, AUG. 20. The two ports of Marseilles are so crowded with transports which have arrived with Government stores, and merchant vessels laden with wheat from the Black Sea, that the mail steamer Gange, which should have sailed for Constantinople on Monday afternoon, and the Alexandre, having on board 600 troops for Algiers, were detained until last night. The Prefect of the department has in consequence published the following decrees, dated yesterday : " We, the Prefect of the Bouches-du-Rhone, having read the report addressed to us to-day by the Captain of the port of Marseilles relating to the overcrowding which exists in the ports of this city, and the obsta cles to commercial operations which result from it, and particularly to the free circulation of steam-vessels charged with the postal service as- well as to the land ing of grain —decree, that from this day and until further orders all ships of 80 tons and upwards arriving in the port of Marseilles shall stop at the quarantine harbour of the Frioul, and remain there until they shall be advised by the authorities that they may be admitted into one or other of the ports of the city." The second decree published by the Prefect says--. "Having read a report addressed to us to-day by the Captain of the port of Marseilles, from which it appears that the presence in said ports of ships having dis charged their cargo becomes a source of difficulty to other ships loading or unloading ; considering that the space contained within our ports, already too small in propor tion to the extension of our maritime commerce, every day increasing, cannot permit without inconvenience the presence of empty ships ; decree, that every vessel having discharged her cargo shall proceed to the quaran tine port of the Frioul. Any empty ship remaining in the ports of Marseilles after the publication of the pre sent decree shall be sent to the Frioul at the expense of the owner'." AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY Mon/Gila. The United States steam-ship Washington, Cap tain Cavendy, arrived off Cowes this morning, en route to Bremen, bringing 80 passengers, dates from New York to the 9th instant, and a small quantity of specie for France. There is no political news of importance. The Senate had passed a bill granting 1,500,000 acres of land to Mississippi for railway purposes. The favourable news from Europe had strength ened the New York stock market. Money was in good demand. Cotton dull, shippers being un willing to purchase at present rates. The market for flour and grain very unsettled, with a tendency downwards, holders of grain being anxious sellers. The Espana quotes the following, dated Valladolid, 12th instant :—" A letter from Burgos announces that the stage coach cowing from our city was stopped, on the 11th instant, by the band of the Bro thers Ilicrros. They seized on a box of jewellery and another containing 2,000 ducats, but treated the strangers with their usual politeness. Unfortunately for them, they were overtaken by one of the numerous detachments and lost in the recontre with the nephew of Villalain, in whose possession was found a sum of 7,800 reale." A letter from Belgrade in the Augsburg Gazette says :—"We learn from good authority that the rectors of the Austrian Steam Navigation Company of the Danube have sent a circular to the captains of all their vessels, prohibiting them, in the most rigorous manner, from rendering any assistance of any nature, or under any c!rcumstance whatever, to the French steamer the Lyonnais, navigating the Danube and its tributary streams. Notwith standinr the authority of the source from which we derive this information, such a prohibition is so repugnant to the spirit of the age that we must still doubt the existence of so strange a document." RAISING OF TIIE AMERICAN SHIP CONSTITUTION. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. It will be remembered that during the past year the large American ship Constitution, Captain Britton, after the termination of her voyage from New .York and landing her passengers in the river, was discovered to be on fire, and all efforts to save her were unavailing. She was eventually scuttled near Rock Ferry, in the Mersey. Part of her cargo was then recovered, the hull was sold, and several futile attempts to raise her were made. Ultimately she was lifted ; but from some inadvertency, or other cause, she rolled over, and be came unmanageable; subsequently, with the high springs, she fl rated on to a bank in the middle of the river, whence she was removed to the beach near Eastham Ferry, and there lay for months a perfect derelict, none venturing to undertake her removal, and it was fully expected she must be broken up. The purchaser, Mr. W. L. Sutherbury, placed himself in the hands of Mr. Charles Gray, of the Liverpool Steam Tug Company, who has raised not less than 20 ships within the last few pars. It is no light matter to conceive the turn ing over a vessel nearly 1,700 tons burthen, but this Mr. Gray accomplished with only two lighters. Hav ing ascertained her weight and capacity by measure ment, he succeeded in slinging her by holes cut in her stem and stern posts, at about her water draught. - By these, with cha'ns, he attached his lighters, whin were athwartship.. On th© lifting, the upper portiou, which was virtually the bottom, being the heavier body, turned on the axis thus simply attained. She was again replaced on the beach, but on this occasion in ship fashion. Having been thoroughly cleansed and exi amined, she was towed down the Mersey on Thursday, and placed in the Sandon Graving Duck. Thousands of people had congregated on the piers and quays to witness her arrival, and after a salute and many hearty cheers she was safely moored. Naval and Military Intelligence. ADMIRALTY, AUGUST 22.—APPOINTMENTS.—Lieut. A. H. Gilmore (1856), to the Excellent, gunnery ship, at Portsmouth. Mate C. D. Inglis (1854), to the Excellent. Second Master E. Spence to the Brunswick, 80, screw steam-ship, at Devonport. Paymaster R. W. Warwick (1854), to the Cossack, 20, screw steam corvette, at Portsmouth. Assistant Paymaster H. Millett (1855), to the Im pregnable, 104, flag-ship at Devonport. SHEERNESS, AUG. 22. We regret to state that our gallant commander-in chief was taken ill with alarming symptoms, at about 9 o clock last night, at his residence. The flag lieutenant was despatched to Chatham by land for the purpose of telegraphing to London for the family physician of the gallant admiral. The steam tender Wildfire was ordered up to the Stroud station pier, in the river Medway, to facilitate the physician's arrival. Up to noon a little change for the better had taken place. 4 p.m.—We are happy to say the gallant admiral has been considerably relieved. Dr. J ohnson arrived here at about 3.30 p.m., from London. The symptoms are still of a dangerous character. Mr. E. Walmsley has received his appointment from the Board of Trade as chief engineer of the Insolent, and Mr. E. W. Rowland is also appointed second engineer. Mr.Walmsley leaves the Cochin gun-boat, Mr. Rowland the Hasty gun-boat. An Admiralty circular was promulgated yesterday at Sheerness announcing to all pensioners serving in ordi nary that all invalid pensioners would be discharged from active service and ordered to retire on their pen sions. All long-service pensioners were to undergo a medical survey, to ascertain if they were physically capable of doing their respective duties ; if so, they would be allowed to remain, but the extra 3J. per day granted them by the Admiralty warrant whilst serving during the war should be discontinued, or they were permitted to claim their discharge immediately if pre ferred. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Daring a strong wind yesterday afternoon the Trafalgar's boat was capsized close under the stern of the ship, by which J. Griffiths, a seaman pensioner, and a woman named Maycock were drowned. The body of Griffiths has been recovered, and is now on board the Formidable awaiting an inquest. Maycock's body has not yet been found. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 22. The Bacchante, Springfield, and Chance, arrived yea terday from the Crimea, with stores. The two first named left to-day for the eastward. The Gorgon, '6, paddle-sloop, Commander To wsey, arrived last night from the eastward, and left today for Plymouth. The Vigilant, 6, screw despatch vessel, Commander Armitage, arrived last night from a cruise. The Sprightly, steam-vessel, Master Commander G. Allen, which had left for Plymouth with supernumeraries, had to put back yesterday on account of the weather. She left again to-day. The Istamboul, steam•transport, arrivod this morning from Ireland. The Transit, steam-troop-ship, Commander Johnson, was paid off to-day. The Sardinian corvette Aquila, 30 guns, and the Dutch frigate De Ruyter, 50 guns, both left Spithead to day for their respective destinations. The Imperial, steam-transport, arrived this afternoon from the Crimea, with stores. The Cruiser, i 7, was taken out of the dock to-day, and the Flying Fish, 6, was taken in. CHATHAM, AUGUST 22. The depot of the 37th Regiment, attached to the pro visional battalion, has been ordered to furnish all the available men of the depot, who are to proceed to Cey lon, where they will join the head-quarters of their re• giment. Major J. R. Heaton, 37th Regiment, who has returned from Scutari, has joined the depot of this corps at Chatham barracks. This morning a Chelsea board of officers, of which Dr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8., principal medical officer at Fort Pitt, was the president, was held at the superintendent's office, Invalid depot, Brompton, when sixty non•oom missioned officers and men, invalids from the Crimea and India, the whole of whom are unfit for further service, were ordered to be discharged. Each man will receive a pension according to his length of service and the na ture of his wounds, and will be sent to his home at the expense of the Government. GALE IN ME CHANNEL. BRIGHTON, FRIDAY. Since writing yesterday, strong fears were entertained for the safety of a boat and her crew, which, it appears, had not been heard of during Thursday, but which came ashore at Brighton about 8 o'clock in the evening, there being thousands of persons on the beach to hail her safe arriva'. The crew—John Smith, master—had encoun• tered great risks ; but it seems they had been detained at sea in the endeavour to find their nets. The damage done to boats and loss of net 7, &c., is esti mated at considerably over 1,000/. ; and, as this loss has to be borne in a great measure by the poor fishermen— many of the masters being only working men—it is to be hoped that steps will be taken, by subscription, to make good the loss, but more particularly so in the case of the widows and orphans who are left entirely desti• tute. Active steps have been taken to secure the nets, but those which have been picked up are almost useless. Staps also have been taken to find the missing bodies, it being supposed that some might have been washed away with the nets and embedded in the rocks. Up to 4 o'clock only one body had been found (that of the younger Grenyer), it having been washed ashore near to New haven, One circumstance connected with the storm impresses the belief that its effects must have been felt by some larger vessels, for ou Thursday morning a small boat. with three or four men in her, was seen off land, going seaward, the sea at the time being too rough to attempt to land, and it is supposed that they had discovered some ship which had been wrecked during the gale.
