Cfr:f - ,7 L.ONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1856. Field-Marshal Viscount HARDEN - GE yesterday died at his.country seat, war Tunbridge WrcllF. The severe attack which led to his resignation of Gen eral-Cormnand in g-i n-Ciliof was never re covered. The gallant veteran was not long per mitted to enjoy the otium cum dignita to which he had so nobly earned. He has been taken to a better world, full of years, and full of honour— having achieved no ordinary success in " the battle of life." No officer ever more completely succeeded in gaining the confidence of his superiors while in a subordinate position ; and had he not achieved the highest rank in his profession, had he not been placed at the head of the army, he would have descended to the grave without the slightest blot on his escutcheon. But his triumphs were of the field, not of the Cabinet. In the former he only listened to the inspirations of his fearless heart. In the latter he suffered himself to be made the supporter of a mischievous system,— to be the nominal commander while another wielded the real power. Had the Duke of WELLTSG TON survived, Lord HARDINGE would have de scended to his honoured grave without the slightest breath of censure or reproach ; and we believe that all that can be alleged against him, is .hat he to© meekly yielded in his advanced years to an influence which be considered to be irresistible. It was no ordinary success for the son of a respectable country clergyman, who was neither possessed of extraordinary wealth, nor had any aristocratic blood in his veins, to acquire two steps in the Peerage, to become a Grand Cross of the Bath, a Field-Marshal, Master-General of the Ordnance, and successor of the Iron Duke at the Horse Guards. Nor was it merely in military matters that he distinguished himself. He also filled, at various times, important civil posts ; having been Secretary at War, Secretary of S tat e for Ireland, and Governor-General of India. In the latter position he united the military and civil capacities, acting as second in command to Lord Gouau in some of his most important contests at Moodkee, Ferozeshah, and Sobraon. From his position he might have assumed the chief com mand, but with proper feeling he abstained from depriving his illustrious companion in arms of the honours to which he was so well entitled. It was not, however, solely his merit that ad vanced him. He formed a matrimonial conne x i on that materially assisted his views. The sister of the Lord CASTLEREAGH, the Foreign Secretaryand Minister Plenipotentiary at the Congress of Vienna, bestowed her hand on the gallant young officer, who had rendered his name illustrious on many a well-contested field, and identified it with the glorious name of Albuera. While the annals of the Peninsular army remain that day can never be forgotten, and the hero par excellence of the brilliant victory, might receive any preferment within the gift of the Prime Minister without justifying a charge of nepotism. Lord HARDINGE was also the cherished friend of his illustrious leader, the Duke of WELLING TON ; and when, as Premier, his Grace thought it necessary to vindicate his honour by challenging the Earl Of WINCHILSEA, the then Sir HENRY HARDINGE was the person whom he selected as second. As we have stated, his career was without blemish until he became Commander-in -Chief, and became responsible for the selection of the Crimean officers. We believe, however, that the real errors might be attributed to other quarters. That he committed grave mistakes is indisputable; but these mistakes were not sufficient to destroy the reputation of a soldier who, in the field and under fire, displayed the qualities of a Bayard I We must forget in the brilliancy of his earlier career the leaning to Germanism, whi 1 was the only error of his long and useful life. The Austrian Government is not fond of idle ness. It delights in "occupation ;" wherever it can obtain a footing it continues to hold its ground, on pretexts which, however untenable in the eyes of the purveyors of " teeth money," are quite sufficient to satisfy the Emperor and his advisers. It appears that the evacuation of the Principalities is still postponed. Austria holds on with desperate tenacityuntil the finalarrangement has been completed, anarrangement which she con trives to protract as long as practicable, so as to obtain free quarters for her troops until the latest possible moment. She now bestows, forsooth, "the fullest pos sible approval" on the resolution adopted by the Ottoman Government of fortifying various posts on the Danube where facilities for crossing might be afforded to an enemy. But why should Austria be called on to approve or to display any feeling one way or the other ? If the contemplated acts be within the legitimate authority of the Porte, they require not the Austrian sanction ! If other wise, the whole of the contracting parties should be consulted. England, France, and Sardinia, that lavished their blood and treasure to sustain the SULTAN'S power, would have a better right to speak than Austria, that played a despicable game, seeking to advance its own private objects rather than the general interests of Europe. But we hear little if anything of these matters, while the "ap proval" of Austria is ostentatiously paraded, as if it were a matter of which any one untainted by Germanism could greatly concern himself. It is, indeed, important that the Principalities should be speedily freed from the invasion to which they have been subjected—an invasion which, so far as the brutality and cupidity of the soldiers are concerned, has been far more onerous than that even of the Muscovites, which the " Western. alliance" was forced to terminate. To expel the Russians we sacrificed thousands of lives and millions of treasure. Can we with any consistency see equal wrong inflicted— the only difference being that one was effected by cunning, the other by force ? The mischief was, however, the same in either case, or if there could be a chance it would be adverse to the Austrians. We know that we wero greatly jockeyed at the Parisian Conferences. Our diplomacy e 3, partly because our representatives did not merge their characters as gentlemen and men of honour in diplomatic pettifogging. But it is therefore the more incumbent on our Ministers that they shall not permit themselves to be made laughing-stocks in the eyes of Europe, but that they insist on the Treaty being carried out in its spirit Ind integrity. One of the main points stipulated for was the immediate evacuation of the Princi palities. It should at least have taken place simultaneously with, if it did not precede, the departure of our troops from the Crimea. But while every British and French spiffier has returned home, the Austrians still linger (like ACEIA.TES at the tomb) to try what further booty they can acquire, or how they can further exasperate their victims. We may be assured that the game is well played, and that seeds are now being sown that will hereafter produce an abundant crop of mischief. Let the British Go vernment show itself equal to the exigency, and be assured that none but a decided line of policy will produce results creditable to itself or beneficial to the welfare of Europe. "Men die for ffant of cheerfulness as plants die for want of light." If Lord STANLAY has but 3uce,eeded in impregnating the future conduct of the Oldham Lyceum with a conviction of this olio ful fact, he will have been one of its greatest benefactors. There can be no doubt that it has been too much overlooked in the educational and other public projects of philanthropists, from the time when BIRKBECK started the Mechanics' In ltitute, and RAIKEs the Sunday School, which was the first grand effort to teach the million to real, up to the present time. The first attempt was of necessity to initiate the many into the mysteries of the alphabet ; nothing could be done worth doing till the man could learn from the printed page ; and within the recollection of thou sands now living, that was the privilege of the few. Pulpit sermons and pot-house harangues were the great fountains of knowledge ! the Bible and Prayer-book were a large library, and the clergyman and gentry were not few who thought that library enough for any one who had to earn his living by trade or labour. Sunday schools, and British schools, and Lancasterian schools, and Bell's schools, and, finally, Mechanics' Institutes, with a Society for the Diffusion of Useful Know ledge to provide them with aliment, wonderfully increased the numbers of those who, at least, were able to read whatever was adapted to their taste. Lastly followed the present plan of Government Education, under the reign of Lord JOHN RUS SELL, with Sir JOHN KAY SHUTTLEWORTH for his premier. The result is, that Lord JOHN and Mr. EDWARD BAINES contest the point whether as many are not now studying in our schools of one kind or another as could ever be induced to attend them ; whether the next step must not be com pulsion. We shall not pretend to be umpires. What we are certain of is, that the motto fur nished us by Lord STANLEY is the one we need to act on. The intelligent will now see to it that the people learn something ; the intellect is in no danger of being overlooked ; the clergy of all denominations will take care that the creeds on which their schools are unhappily based will be duly taught, and, if we may believe them, the moral faculties will be educated thereby ; we suppose we must take their word for it, though for ourselves we are inclined to think that creeds have but a cobweb connection with either morality or real religion. But the one department not only adequately attended to yet is that of cheer ful amusement. The vast mass of the community are kept prosy, dull, and heavy by the monotony of toil, and its too full occupation of their time ; they need stimulants. Unfortunately there is one which meets them, in towns especially, at every turn, and degrading excitement is resorted to, be cause nothing else is easily accessible. The worst is that such habits are not easily changed, and that the young are but too ready to adopt them before anything better can be offered them. The great want, then, to be supplied is amusement kindred with the education we give. Amusement which shall do for the temperament what, by in struction, we have been seeking to do for the intellect. It is not necessary thatwe s t h o ollld offer suggestions ; it will suffice at present in sist on the want. Those best acquainted with our populace will soon devise the appropriate bneans. Knowledge, for its own sake, will ever be attrac tive but to the few ; though we may well hope that the number is daily becoming greater amongst our citizens and young men of the tradesman class. The desideratum is amusement for the 431 ass who have obtained a tolerable education, and such amusement as they could not relish but for that education. Mr. Fox, at the meeting to which we have re ferred, was undoubtedly right when he attributed much of the ill success attending mechanics' insti tutes to their limited objects ; to the " low and narrow views taken by their founders." By no means denying the great utility of science in con nection with the practical engagements of the mechanic, yet, if pursued "to the exclusion of works of taste, works of imagination, and works of general literature, a great mistake is made ; imagination has made its discoveries as well as learning and logic, in fact we owe to imagination, perhaps, more discoveries than to any other faculty," in this view we thoroughly concur. There has been a hard dry character about nearly all the school and institute instruction yet given. We are a nation naturally grave enough, in all conscience, and there is no reason why our educa tional system should increase that tendency. The effort is, we fear, to debar young persons unna turally from that kind of reading which appeals chiefly to the imagination ; it should be to train that faculty as well as others ; to teach the dis tinction between the truly beautiful and the tawdry attempts at imitation, and thus to furnish to the adult through life the means of enjoyment without dissipation. We know that we, as well as Mr. Fox and Lord STANLEY, are dealing some what in generalities, but the truth is that specific suggestions would be of little service. The right conception is what is wanted. The means are at hand in every library, almost in every book-stall. Mr. Fox was also right in boldly confronting a part of the otherwise able speech of Sir J. B. SHIITTLEWORTH, by objecting on principle to the basis of the present Government plan of educa tion. It is a premium on sectarian education ; on training Episcopalian boys, Congregationalist boys, Methodist boys, and the boys of any sect, to regard the sectarian differences of their parents as sacred, if'their own—contaminating, if those of others ; to separate in good-will those who should be trained from infancy to regard each other only as fellow-citizens, neighbours, and brothers ; their mutual differences being thus felt to be of the most trivial consequence compared with their points of agreement. Bigotry is tena cious of life enough, without being unnaturally prolonged and fostered by our training of our boys and girls. It would be of the happiest ten dency if, in childhood and youth, the time when life-long tendencies and attachments are formed, the school was untangled with the sectarian bigotry which disgraces our land—than have actually, as things aro, to learn in later life that their religious differences make no difference be tween them in the sight of their MAKER, and ought to be no cause whatever for alienation. The contingency so valorously contemplated by Sir JOHN FALSTAFF in Windsor Forest, to wit, the heavens " raining potatoes," would hardly be paralleled in extravagance if we said the heavens have of late years been dropping mile stones on the track of the agricultural interest. Easily moved, but slow to move, our agricultural friends have really been " moving on," as a per usal of the reports of their annual society meet ings would abundantly testify, were their pro gression not, as it is, too patent to render the infliction, as some might deem it, unnecessary. Not only have they set their shoulders to the agricultural wheel, but they have taken to fill. up the ruts of Protection, and supply themselves with less cumbrous vehicles for carting their produce. The AD glo- S axon blood so long slumbering in them has undergone the process of oxygenisation, and pulses through their veins with something like pristine vigour. Depending more and more on themselves, they have learnt the wisdom of self reliance, and acquired the thews and muscles, and, to a more limited extent, the intelligence and the enterprise, to turn their experience to good account. Wo are heartily glad of it, and in proof of our good-will recommend them not to loiter, but to set up the milestones on their way with all reasonable despatch. The reader has but to turn to another column to find a fresh proof of the progress being made by the agricultural community. In our report of the proceedings at the Herta Agricultural So ciety's Annual Meeting, which was honoured, it will be seen, by the presence of the American Minister to the English Court, he will find the distinguished chairman, Sir E. B. LYTTON, Bart., administering some good advice to his bucolic hearers in relation to agricultural statistics. Nothing, it may be said, is easier given, and few things seldomer taken, than the article in ques tion. True ; but the proof of progress to whioh we refer is not the administration of good advice by the chairman—though that is something—but the manner in which it was received. Granted, the pill was coated with sugar and otherwise adroitly exhibited, and excited no tumultuous expressions of gratitude ; but there were notice able marks of approval, unaccompanied by any of disapproval ; and this, when the sturdy resolu tion of the farmer in defence of his real or sup posed interests is taken into account, must be regarded as significant of decided progress. It i• something to find the farmers of Herts, who, we take it, are not in advance of their brethren elsewhere, listening, after this fashion, to a denial of their being:opposed to "a good, judicious, and concilia tory system of agricultural statistics", though that denial was couched in a vindication of their in telligence. It may, however, be deemed invidi ous in us to draw more attention to this subject, since to dwell on it is to bring to recollection the facts that in Ireland and Scotland no difficulty is found in obtaining agricultural statistics, while the need for them is palpable to any intramural intelligence. Among the more salient points of the bucolic speech of the hon. baronet may be noticed his frank endorsement of the dictum of Lord LONSDALE ;" that the two great problems which agriculturists had to solve were—first, the degree to which mechanical inventions might be applied in cheapening human labour ; and, se condly, the degree to which the sewage of towns might be used to cheapen the cost of those, manures with which they were already familiar.' A dictum, let us say creditable to the utterer, being characterised by much practical good sense. Not less noticeable are the comments of Sir E. B. LYTTON on "the precious peace," and the declaration of his opinion that "we ought care fully to cherish that militia (for the most par t taken from the class of agricultural labourers) of which they were so proud as a nursery for the regular regiments of the line." We have left ourselves but little space to notice the CHAIR , MAN'S generously-conceived and happily-worded speech, by which the health of the American Minister was prefaced, nor ;that high-class gentleman's reply ; suffice it to say generally of both they were worthy of each, and admirably calculated to promote good feeling between the two countries at a time when such feeling is likely to be of essential service to the cause of liberty. DRAM OF VISCOUNT HARDINGE. We reg re t t o announce the death of Viscount Har dinge, which took place at 11.38 yesterday morning, at his residence, South Park, near-Tunbridge Wolfe. - T_TIE BRITISB FLEET FOR NAPLES. It is, we believe, the intention of the Government to despa tch half-a-dozen of our first-class screw gun-boats to Naples. At Spithead at the present time, eight of this class of vessels, well manned and provisioned, are awaiting sailing orders. In addition to these vessels, there are at Spithead, all ready for instant sailing, the Caesar, 91, screw ; the Colossus, 81, screw ; Dauntless, 33, screw ; Malacca, 17, screw ; Gorgon, 6, paddle ; Perseverance, 6, screw ; and Urgent, 6, screw. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slll,—Finding that my name has been advertised in your paper as chairman of "The General Industry Life and Fire Assurance and Sick Fund Friendly Society," I have to beg the favour of being allowed to inform the public through the medium of your journal that I am not the chairman of the said society, nor indeed con nected with it in any way whatever.—l am, sir, your obedient servants GEORGE CRUIKSHANK. 48, Mornington-plaee, Sept. 24th, 1856. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has left town for Sir George Wombwell's seat in Yorkshire, on a visit to the gallant baronet. The Duchess of Wellington bas left Tester House, Haddingtonshire, where her grace has been visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Tweeddale, for Balmoral, to relieve the Marchioness of Ely in her duties as Lady in Waiting on her Majesty. The Duke of Wellington has left Apaley House to make a series of visits. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury and Lord Eustace Cecil, on leaving the North of Scotland, pro ceeded on a visit to the Earl of Eglinton, at Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire, and have since arrived at the family seat, Hatfield House, Herta, for the winter. Lord Stanley, M: P., we learn, has undertaken to deliver a lecture early in the next month at the Manches ter A thenteum, on education and criminal reformatories. The Treasury have sanctioned a loan of 5,0001. sought for by the Drogheda Corporation, for building bridges over the river Boyne. Yesterday, at the Hampton Sessions, Thomas Dunball was fined 51.. for wilfully crossing the South-Western Railway while a train was advancing at the rate of 30 miles an hour. The guard shut off the steam, and thus preserved the man from instant death. • Yesterday, John Frost delivered a lecture on trans portation at Greenwich. THE ROBBERY AT MR. WY/MS.—Two men were yes terday committed for trial by Mr. Jardine for being concerned in the robbery which took place on 22d of August, last. BELFAST AND BALLYMENA RAILWAY.—It is now said that the extension line of the Belfast and Ballymena Rail',vay to Cookstown will be opened by the Lord Lieu tena at, accompanied by the contractor, W. Dargan, Esq., the directors, engineers, &c., on the 16th October. The Limerick Observer states that some of the leading bankers and merchants of London openly express their conviction that John Sadleir is still alive, although it is now added that his body was recognised by a ci devant clerk of the London and County Bank, whom John Sadleir had formerly caused to be dismissed. UNION OF MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA —A public meeting is to be held at the Town Hall, Brighton, on the evening of Monday next, relative to the union of Moldavia and Wallachia, as a barrier against Russian and Austrian aggression. Several members of the House of Commons have accepted invitations to be pre sent. JARROW DOCKS ON THE TYNE.—On Tuesday afternoon Mr. T. E. Harrison ' C.E., laid the foundation stone of one of the p r i nc ip a l entrances to the Jarrow Docks on the Tyne. These important marine works, which are in the course o f cons t ruct i on f or th e North. Eastern Rail way Company, are of considerable interest to persons concerned in the coal trade. PRESENTATION INKSTAND to M. BENEDETTI.—A very elegant obje d'art, forming an inkstand, has been pre sented by the British Government, through the Earl of Clarendon, to M. Benedetti, formerly French Minister at Constantinople, and who, from his knowledge of the Eastern question, was selected as secretary to the Pleni potentiaries at the recent Conference at Paris, in token of respe t for his services. FALL A CHAPEL.—A fine new building in Bury New-rcad, Manchester, in the Gothic style of architec ture, with a spire, erected as a chapel for the Indepen dents, fell on Wednesday morning at five o'clock, owing to some defects of construction. Fortunately no one was near at the time, and, as it was isolated from the surrounding dwellings, no loss of life was consequent upon the disaster. MR. CLARKSON, THE BARRISTER. --We regret to say that this learned gentleman still continues in a very pre serialist state of health at his Brighton residence on the King's-road, and that no favourable change can be re port'ed. His severe illness arose in the first place some ten - weeks since from a large carbuncle on the back of the neck, and for which he underwent an operation; which, sahough skilfully performed, had the effect of producing great prostration. After several changes the learned gentleman, we are sorry to say, is in a state to excite considerable apprehension and fear. By the courtesy of the Secretary of the Euphrates Valley Railway Company, we are informed that Mr. Andrew (the chairman) has received a telegraphic de spatch from General Chesney from Constantinople, to the effect that the Grand Vizier had received General Chesney rind Sir John Macneill very warmly, and that his highness expected to give them a grand conference in a few days with his colleagues. General Chesney and Sir Jolrn Macneill had also had an interview with Reis Effendi, A .RUSSIAN VOICE ON THE NEAPOLITAN QUESTION.- We ^read in the Nord of Tuesday :—" The Government of Naples is prepared for any emergency, as is proved by tY, t e defensive works executed upon the coast, and by the condition and stzength of the army assembled round Naples, and reviewed by King Ferdinand on the 10th. For our own part wewill remind our readers that the King of Naples has not been unaware of the utility of certain reforms, and we remain convinced that ha will be capable of realising them. We do not place confidence in an armed display, and we regret that France has con sidered it her duty to follow England in a demonstra- tion which has, in substance, the mischievous effect of constituting an interference with the policy of an inde penrient state." CHARMING.—At the Wolverhampton Borough Police Court, on Tuesday, John Clark was convicted of obtain, ing several sums of money from a young man named Richard Moore, under pretence of curing him of fits by the administration of pills and drugs, and by palmistry. There was also a charge against him of having "charmed" Mr. Forster Gough, attorney, out of 4/. by fraudulent representations. The magistrates committed him, as a rogue and vagabond, to three months' bard labour for the first offence.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. CITY REGISTRATION.—Th e name of Sir J. Duke was yes terday omitted from the list of the Lorimer's Company, on the ground that there was a custom in the city of London that a person becoming a freeman and liverymen of one company could not become a freeman and liveryman of another company, and enjoy all the privileges of that company weich he enjoyed in the first, without being formally translated from one to the other. HIGHWAYMEN ON OVR RAILWAYS.—" A Sportsman" in a letter to the Times says, I am in the habit of sending boxes of grouse from the north of Scotland to my friends in various parts in England. I see that the boxes are made strong and well nailed down, and yet I am sorry to say scarcely a box reaches its destination which has not been robbed on the road. If it contains 10 brace these bold robbers generally take two ; if it contains 20 they take four. Surely, this sort of thing ought not to go oa in a country which boasts of having such good regulations. CHARON OP MURDER AND ROBBERY.—On Friday and Saturday Catherine Bethune was tried before the Circuit Court, at Inverness, on a charge of murder and robbery. In the end of June last a lone woman, named Margaret Maclean, residing in a turf hut in the parish of Lochmaddy, 'was missed for some days by the neigh bours. The door of her hut was at length broken open, when the old woman was found dead, and with marks of violence on her person. The prisoner had been seen abont the hut some days before, and the few articles of Property that had belonged to the deceased were found in the prisoner's possession. The jury found the charge of murder not proven, but convicted her of theft, and Imving been several times previously convicted, she was 'Sentenced to six years' penal servitude.—Edinburgh Courant. CRYSTAL PALAOE COISPANY.—Some farther facts, says the Daily News, relative:to the recent fraudulent reissue of shares of this company, tending to show that either the management of the transfer department must have been very lax, or that the frauds of the company's late clerk, William Robson, were conducted with extraordinary skill. It is certain that they have been of long standing, for during the last day or two transfers have been returned as irregular to members of the Stock Exchange in cases in which the shares had been registered in the company's books, and certificates of registration given as far back as nine months ago. For tunately in all these instances, as we are informed, the amounts involved are individually small. It is evident from thee• cases that Robson must have been almost entirely exempt from official control in his own depart ment, and the laxity of the company's practice in this respect furnishes an additional ground for the de mand of the sufferers that the company shall assume the whole of the loss incurred through the malversations of their recognised officers. THE BURGLARIES AT NOTTING-HILL..---A correspon dent writing t o th e Ti mes, after dwelling upon the let tors of "Pistol" and " Revolver," the use of each of which he dis a pp roves, goes on to say—Now, I revive the long disu se d " man trap. " I know the highways and byways of my own house. I know where the plate chest is deposited. I know better than my swell in truder the vulnerable points of the place, and there I plant my " trap." I sleep very securely until my man is caught. And let not the sensitive or the sentimental complain that I run no risk of encountering the philan thropy of the Cruelty to Animals Society. My trap has a good grip. It holds its customer hard, but does not hurt him unless he attempts to get off—then it squeezes him more and more, and won't let him go anyhow. It hooks him a b ove the knee. True, he will give tongue a little, and then I descend slowly and carelessly towards him. I know my bird is bagged. As to his making off with the trap, he may as well march off with the rock of Sisyphus. He is a fixture for the time. Again, when I find any of my neighbours' houses to " let," and I suspect a visit from the roof, I take my second trap (for I keep two) and place it under the fall, when I catch him, like the late fly-stickers, " all alive," and transport him accordingly with his kit of instruments. I nem let him out of the trap till at the station. LATEST NEWS. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition) says : " The departure of the ultimatum is still de layed, but this is not to be attributed to doubt or hesitation, but to a desire carefully to mature it, and not to act with precipitation. There oan be no doubt that it will go, and that within a day or two, unless in the interval intelligence should come that the King of Naples has given way. It is not, however, in expectation of this, or in any sanguine reliance on the success of Baron Hubner's good offices, that the slight delay occurs, which may rather be explained by a re gard to the deliberation and dignity proper to be observed in such grave circumstances. Reports have been current of an interview between Count Walewski and the Marquis Antonini, in which strong representations were said to have been made by the latter ; but no importance is to be attached to this, and indeed the affair as it now stands may be considered as removed altogether beyond the scope of the Neapolitan Minister at Paris." The correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition) says— It is • probable that the present week will pass over before the French and English Governments take any decided steps regarding the departure of the squadron for the Bay of Naples. lam igno rant of the reason why a delay has occurred unless it be dictated by an impression that conciliatory news may be expected from Naples. General Martini, the Austrian Ambassador at the Court of the Two Sicilies, left Vienna on the 22d for Naples. We may therefore conclude that the Cabinet of Vienna has definitely agreed as to what position the King of Naples shall assume, and how far he is to resist or comply with the demands of England and France. The assurance of some answer coming from the Cabinet of King Ferdinand by telegraph is the cause, I am told, why the Allied squadron is not already approaching the Bay of Naples. Not to expect a shuffling answer when such Governments as that of Naples and Vienna unite would be a proof of forgetfulness of the past. We have no reason to anticipate anything but an attempt to evade the demands made on his Sicilian Majesty by promises to amelio rate the political condition of the Two Sicilies at some future period. The dignity of the Crown will probably be put forth, dtc., (Sec., and Austria will--having suggested the reply —approve of the same ; urge France to withdraw her action, and leave England isolated. Perhaps that is the very test thing that could occur. At all events, from all I hear, it is well that her Majesty's Go vernment should be prepared for a repetition of that trickery which the Cabinets of Vienna prac tised throughout our late dispute with Russia. A Berlin letter of the 19th, in the Nuremberg Correspondent, says :—" Accounts from Vienna represent that the object of the visit of Baron Hubner to the King of Naples is to induce him to accept, net all the demands of the Western Powers, but the more important of them, and to come to an understanding with him as to their details. In the event of the King consenting to this, Austria offers to act as mediatrix, so as to cause the Western Powers to accept the conces sions he may offer. The appearance of an en croachment on the sovereignty and independence of the crown of Naples is to be avoided, if the King can be brought to an arrangement. A period will, it is true, be fixed for the execution of the engagements of the King, but it will not be made too short, and the execution of the mea sures will be abandoned to the Neapolitan Go vernment itself. These details come from a very good source." A letter from Galatz of the 9th says :—" The commission on the frontiers of Bessarabia has traced the frontier from the sea to Bolgrad, where it arrived last evening. This having been done in the course of a week, it may be hoped that the whole frontier can be traced by the end of the month, or by the beginning of October. The commissioners are to leave to-morrow with out stopping at Bo!grad. The frontier was traced by means of an ordinary plough, which accom panied the commissioners. The dispute relative to Balgrad has not yet been terminated, and the commissioners are waiting for instructions about it." "A letter from Athens," says the Emancipa tion of Brussels, " states that the representatives of England and France have handed to the Pre sident of the Council a list pf a Ministry drawn up by them in common. The Queen Regent has not accepted this list, alleging as a reason the absence of the King." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. It is rumoured here that the E m p er or Napoleon will shortly meet the Emperor of Russia at Nice. " The Emperor and Empress," says a letter from Biarritz, " on Sunday heard mass at the chapel of this place. In the afternoon, the Sisters of Camp de Prats, accompanied by those of the Misericorde and the hospitals of Bayonne and St. Esprit, were received at the villa, and saw the Prince-Imperial, the Empress herself conducting them to the room in which his Imperial Highness was lying. Their Majesties afterwards conversed with them for some time, and again inquired as to the number of the poor in the neighbourhood, the resources of their establishments, and other details. In the evening there was a reception and ball at the villa." M. Jerome Bonaparte and his son arrived at Havre the evening before last, and alighted at the Hotel de l'Europe.

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow ing report, received by the Minister of War from the Governor-General of Algeria : " ALGIER Sep 18. " Monsie ur l e M ar 6 c h al—l have the hono S, to t, ur inform you that General Jusuf has advanced into the territory of the Frikat with the column under his orders, rein forced by that of General Gastu. The troops, thus united, were formed into two brigades, the one composed of two battalions and four companies of the Ist Regi ment of Zouaves, one battalion o f th e 68 t h , an d o f t h e 18th battalion Of Foot Chasseurs, under the orders of General Gastu; the other, formed of two battalions of the lst Regiment of native Riflemen, commanded by Colonel Bataille. "The camp occupied by General Jusuf was dominated at the east by a high rock, the defence of which was intrusted to the let battalion of Riflemen. The Kabyles, knowing the importance of this commanding position, attacked it vigorously in the night of the 11th to the 12th, and renewed their attack during the day on the 12th. They were each time vigorously repulsed. " It was important not to lose time in pressing upon the enemy, and consequently on the same day, the 12th, General Jusuf attacked the villages to the north of the camp with two battalions. They were occupied without auy resistance, although they had a large force in reserve at hand. "On the 18th General Gastu made a descent upon the villages in the Frikat with five battalions, and caused the enemy considerable loss. During this operation nu merous groups stationed on the surrounding heights contented themselves with exchanging a few musket shots with our troops. " The Kabyles, believing the camp to be unprotected, came as on the preceding evening and attacked the post of the Rocher. They made this third attempt with great energy, but they were again vigorously repulsed, and some of our men, led away by their ardour, having left their entrenchments to pursue the enemy, Col. Battaille rapidly advanced to the scene of the combat with fresh companies. At the same time Colonel Fenelon, at the bead of a squadron of the head of a squadron of the lst Regiment of African Chasseurs and our goums, advanced upon the line of the enemy's retreat. He took a preci pitate flight, concealing himself in the ravines. " On the 14th Colonel Bataille, with his column, visited the village of the Frikat, on the confines of the country of the Beni-Small. The Kabyles kept up a sharp fire with our riflemen, and it was only by means of a steady attack with the bayonet that they Trere repulsed. "The troops returned to the camp without having been seriously annoyed. In these combats the enemy must have suffered considerable loss. On our side we have to regret three men killed and 24 wounded. Among the latter are two officers of the 18th battalion of Chas seurs, Messieurs Legros and Merie, and in the Ist Re• gi ment of Rifles, M. Lepretre. "On the 16th the column marched against the Beni- Snaail in the Guechtoulas. General Jusuf thought it necessary to take up a position in the very heart of the country, so that he might command the heights of the villages.. The position which he assumed at Mahallet- Ramdan, above Sidi-Abderahman, perfectly answered the object he had in view. The Kabyles used every exertion to prevent the occupation of Mahallet-Ramdan, but they were forced to retire before the impetuosity of our troops, in consequence of the excellent dispositions taken by General Jusuf, who has addressed to me the following report ; " Mahallet, Sept. 16. " Monsieur le Manichal,—During yesterday the bri gade of General Gastu continued the operations com menced on the previous evening by the second brigade. The losses suffered by the Kabyles had prot ably discou raged them, for they hardly durst show themselves, and the brigade returned to the camp at three o'clock in the afternoon, after having accomplished its mission. ‘" Informed of the arrival of fresh reinforcements among the Guechtoulas I did not think it right to wait to give opportunity to the Kabyles of repeating their attacks upon my advanced guards. I determined to advance against them, and this morning, at half-past 6 o'clock, the Gastu brigade ascended the mountain to the point which separates the Guechtoulas from the Ouled-el-Aziz. The Battaille brigade, at the same time, took possession of the posts which had been occupied by the Gastu brigade. The men took a road which was not so steep, and which they could follow without diffi culty under the escort of cavalry. The second brigade formed the rear guard. " The column mounted the series of ascents which separates the Guechtoulas from the Ouled-el-Aziz ' and I learn during the march t h a t th ere h a d b een a large armed assemblage upon the plateau of Mahallet Rana dan, upon which I wished to establish my bivouac. This plateau is an excellent strategical position, as it commands the whole country, as well to the north as to the south ; but to be established there in security it was necessary to dislodge the Kabyles, groups of whom occupied the summits of the rocks to the east. They bad established intrenchments of dry stones, behind which they thought they were sheltered from our attacks. " As soon as I had reconnoitred the position I formed the whole of the column in mass before arriving at the plateau, and after a few moments of rest the troops destined for the attack advanced to nearly within gun shot of the enemy. Four pieces of artillery, under the orders of Commandant Pellieux, threw a few shells into the midst of the Kabyles. Their explosion excited confusion among the group, and I sounded the charge. The Zouaves acted with admirable energy. The second battalion, commanded by Colonel Collineau, took the right ; the third, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Manuelle, took the left, so as to surround the culminat ing point of the entrenched position defended by the Kabyles. They fell upon them from a rapid descent without replying to their fire. The 18th battalion of ehasseurs supported the movement by advancing to wards the extreme left. The Kabyles, fired upon by the Zouaves, took to flight, and in a short time they had all disappeared. " this combat the second brigade and the escort arrived at the bivouack, and the camp was im mediately formed. It is so situated as not to be liable to attack. " 4 The losses of the day are small, being only 2 killed and 11 wounded. " To conclude, Monsieur le Marichal, I may state that we are well provisioned, and the Kabyles have wit nessed for the first time a French column in the occu pation of the elevated point where we are stationed. am happy to be able to mention to you the brilliant conduct of a young officer of the Staff, Sub- Lieutenant Chanoine, detached from the lst Regiment of Zouaves, who was the first to reach the Kabyle position, having always been 40 paces in advance of the charging party. Colonel Collineau and Lieut.- Colonel Manuelle worthily maintained the ancient reputation of the Zouaves. "'According to this report, M. le Marechal, I think that the struggle in the country of the Guechtoulas is near its termination, for the troops concentrated at Algiers, while our preparations were in progress, are is movement, and now even the heads of columns begin to appear on the plateau of Boghni. "'Accept, &c., RANDON. " The Marshal of France, Governor-Genera] of Algiers.' " THE LATE COLLISION AT OLDBURY STATION. A " Railway Director," writing to a contempo rary, after showing the insecurity of the " distant signals" now in use, says these "distant signals" are frequently fixed round curves, and in such a position as to be quite beyond the view of the sig nal man at the station, so that he has no means of / knowing when the whistle is sounded whether the train has passed the signal or not. Therefore, in case of a sudden emergency, when the signal is set behind the train, this " distant signal" becomes in itself a snare ; the engineer having passed in its " all right" condition, considers it unnecessary to look for any further indication from the station. But, to make the signal effective to stop a coming train, two conditions are necessary :—First, the signal must be fixed so far in advance of the train as to enable the driver to see it, and yet leave suf ficient space to bring up his train ; secondly, the driver must see the signal. By the affirmative system both these conditions are secured in the only way possible. The signal being so weighted as to assume the position of " stop" when at rest is always on, and therefore is always in advance of a coming train ; there is nothing for anybody to do in case of an obstruction of the road—no running here or there, or fore thought or extraordinary presence of mind required where it may be constitutionally deficient ; there is the signal standing as a constant protection to the station ; any man passing it while in its normal position does a wilful act for which he is amenable to the law ; and to change its position so as to enable the train to enter there must be a de liberate act on the part of those who alone have the means of knowing the condition of the road. The second condition—namely, that of securing the attention of the driver of an approaching train, is effectually obtained by calling upon him to per form a preliminary act. Previous to his entering the station he must " whistle the signal down " before he can pass ; in other words, he must obtain the consent of the station officials before entering the precincts. Apply case at Oldbury, th e o f the necessity in its p roper signal w this uld s h y a s v t position—namely, to stop a comin g train ; the e em bee t n o driver of the train would, according to his daily habit, have sounded his whistle at such a distance from the signal as to have the train under his com mand ; his attention is thus secured by a daily practice the very opposite of that which now ob tains ; and seeing, as he unquestionably would have done, that, contrary to the usual course of things, the signal rigidly maintained its position, he would at once have concluded that there was some obstacle to his progress, and without adopting any extraordinary precaution the train would have been brought to a stand. ROME, Sept. 18. —The shears of the newspaper censor have been employed i n ex ti rpat i ng from the Galignani of the 11th inst. the account of Gioberti's posthumous work upon the reform of the Catholic church. It may be easily imagined with what horror the master of the sacred palace and similar inquisitorial functionaries look upon such propositions as a Pope without temporal power, priests with lawfully married wives, and a pro paganda for the diffusion of pure truth from the goPPelt A ROYAL MARRIAGE IN PRUSSIA. BERLIN, SKPT. 20, This evening at 7 o'clock the marriage of the Princess Louisa of Prussia with the Grand Duke of Baden took place, in the recently erected chapel of the Royal Schloss, with all the pomp and cere mony that this Court can put forth. The procession was opened by the officer of the Court whom we should call the Lord High Steward or Marshal, Count Keller, a portly aristocratic man, bearing his wand of office, with a costly jewel as a knob to it ; Chamberlains, two and two, in dark blue Court dresses, barred horizontally with gold lace down the chest, and carrying three-cornered hats, richly laced, with marabout feathers laid in be tween the overlying flaps; a number of pages, two and two, rejoicing in scarlet merino jerkins, and doublets trimmed with silver lace, white silk stock ings, and several ells of fine batiste round their throats, as cravats, with long ends. The rear of this preliminary co l umn was brought up by the two cavaliers appointed by the King to be in waiting on the bride. At an interval of a few paces came the bridal couple. The Royal chapel, in which the wedding cere• mony took place, was already occupied by the Ministers of State, the high officers of Government, the Generals of the army, and one or two repre sentatives of the naval force, the Corps Diploma -1 tique, the foreigners of distinction (chiefly from Baden), and as many officers of the garrisons of Berlin, Potsdam, Charlottenburg, and Spandau as could squeeze into the space. The east end, at which the altar stands, was occupied by a full dis play of the clergy of the cathedral and the Royal chaplains, and on their right (spectators' left) the King and Queen took up their stand, and next to them the parents of the bride ; while opposite to them the rest of the Royal family, and in the centre, alone, in front of the whole assembly, stood , the bridal couple, as is usual at the celebration of matrimony in Germany. The symbolic act in this rite, as performed here, consists in the exchange of rings, the officiating priest first receiving from each the ring they have worn since the betrothal, and, after imploring a blessing on the union, putting it on the third finger of the right hand of the other. , Immediately after th o ceremon y was ov er, the 1 Royal party withdrew to a private apartment to interchange their congratulations, the Court offi cers remaining in the outer room, and the guests who were assembled in the chapel withdrew to the White Saloon. The Royal Chapel is a classic, Grecian, octagonal building, with a Roman cu pola and Byzantine decorations • its walls are resplendent with polished marble of various colours, fresco paintings of apostles, saints, and martyrs on gilded ground, and enriched with ara besques and scriptural mottoes. After leaving the chamber of private congratu lations the royal party proceeded to the White Saloon to receive the congratulations of the Court, the arrangements for which are very peculiar, and carry one back to the times and customs of Louis XIY., or of Friedrich Wilhelm 1., who was as fond of court ceremony as the French monarch himself. The King and Queen took their places with the bridal couple at a card table, placed on the dais beneath the canopy that usually overhangs the throne ; the various members of the august party seated themselves at similar tables placed in line running from both sides of the dais, and were supposed, according to the theory of Court etiquette, to be at once immersed in the mysteries of long and short whist and Boston. While so en gaged, the various members of the Court file before the Royal table and perform their reverence. As soon, however, as supper is announced the King breaks off this unsatisfactory pastime, and the pro cession returns to the Ritter Saal to sup. Here the bridal couple took the place of honour at the centre , of the table, with the King on the right of the brine and the Princess of Prussia beyond him, while the Queen sat on the left of the bridegroom and the Prince of Prussia beyond her, the remaining princely persons according to their rank. In the neighbouring apartments there were tables spread for all the Court invited, at which the High Chamberlain, the Minister ['resident, the Com mander-in-Chief of the troops in the Mark, the High Dapifer, and the Commander of the Guard did the honours ; the convivialities, however, were suspended until the first course was concluded at the Royal table, and the King had drunk to the health of the bridal couple. Up to that time the High Dapifer and the Royal Cupbearer, and many others, had been occupied in waiting on the Royal personages; two Lieutenant-Generals had the office of carving at the Royal table, where the lackeys first removed the plates as they were served, brought them to their pages, who first handed them to the next higher rank in the hierarchy of gold lace, until eventually the highest officers attained possession of the food that was destined for the Royal palates, and conveyed it respectfully to its destination. After the King, as said above, had drunk to the health of the new married couple, and the band of a regiment of the Guards had blown a flourish of trumpets, his Ma jesty gave his high officers of Court permission to seat themselves at the tables that were awaiting them, and where they had to use all despatch with their knives and forks, seeing that they must all of them range themselves again in due order to ac company the Royal party on its way from the supper-room to the White Saloon again, where the fackel-tanz, or torch dance, is then to be per formed. BERLIN, SEPT. 22. Yesterday being Sunday, the festivities at the palace partook solely of the religious and family character due to the day and the occasion. THE POLITICAL TRIALS IN ITALIC NAPLES, SEPT. 19. The political trial of Mignonna has again been suspended, and the accused are doomed to drag on their 15th month of imprisonment uncondemned. The trial will not be resumed until the begin ning of the next month, owing to the absence of Captain Acuti, the witness who is again to be ex amined in consequence of the alleged errors which ho committed on September 6. On the 6th Sep tember he was examined for the defence, but, amongst other matters, he stated that, when he first was appointed to his command in Procida, he found everything in disorder. The servants were all venal indulgences might be purchased almost according to a tariff. Thus, eight grains for a determinate time would purchase . permission to take off the irons ; two carlint a day, better rooms ; something more, better food : in short, the custodes seem to have thriven on the political prisoners. Acuti tried to put a stop to these excesses, and wrote to General Pa lumbo on the subject, suggesting the lash as a sub stitute for the legal punishment for taking off irons. Orders were returned to threaten 40 in case of any being found without chains. The threat appears to have maintained a better discipline for a short time, but the old excesses recommenced. He did not change the custodes as he had been re commended, for it would have been of no use—all would have done the same thing. He wrote again to General Palumbo, and soon after received a royal order to inflict fifty lashes on every one found without his irons. In execution of this order he proceeded to inflict this punishment on 56 prisoners whom he found unchained. Two thousand eight hundred lashes at a word In reading the proces verbal the words inserted by the president were "superiori ordini," which the witness corrected by a o m r ordini s ovrani. Little is love did ci he dream saying, of N t the g tendency ' of his precision. The court re-assembled on Monday, the 15th, to hear the requisitions of the attorney-general, but instead of proceeding with it he announced his in tention to recall Acuti, who, influenced by either malignity or ignorance, had given calumnious and false evidence. The King, he asserted, had not given the order, but the minister ; and he had done so by a rescript of the 4th class, which permits the use of the name of the King in all matters of rou tine, where no novelty is introduced. The Attor ney General then rea d th e r escript, whi c h was signed by Signor Scorza, Minister of Public Works, ordering 50 lashes to be given to any prisoner found without his irons. The entire effort of the Attorney General was to exculpate his Majesty from having issued the rescript in question, assert ing that it was mere formality to use the King's name, and that the minister was justified by usage in taking upon himself such a responsibility. NEWLY-INVENTED FLOUR MILL.—Some experiments were made on Monday, the 15th inst., with a newly invented flour mill, constructed by Mons. Fouchier, in Lambeth, at the arch No. 159, South-Western Railway. There were present, by direction of the Admiralty, Cap tain W. V. Read, R.N.; Mr. Breaks, R.N., storekeeper of Deptford Victualling-yard ; Mr. Vaughan, chief engi neer, Victualling-yard ; Mr. King, master miller, Dept ford-yard ; and Messrs. George Thornton Curl, engi neer, Hamilton Browne, and others. The results of the grinding of 100 lbs. weight of wheat were as follows :- 76 per cent. of the best flour, or 83 of all sorts, from wheat that weighs from 62 to 63 lbs. per bushel. This gives a considerably greater quantity over the present plan—the average being 68 lbs., and leaving a great re siduum of bran. It will be seen by the statement pat there is about 15 per . c ent. saved by the new p r ocess ; and, in addition, the flour turned out perfectly cool, and consequently a saving is effected by not being obliged to have recourse to , the pres en t mo d e of cooling the flour after being discuarged from the mill.
