Paddington, Atig, 28,1856. era when name iemselves is as yet far off in _ e opinions of European rulers. -The:late war awoke many of us from dreams of a millennium of free travelling and prosperous export trade, but there is now little inclination to abandon those means of defence which we have created at such a cost. A continental kingdom which, like our own, cannot afford to forget the art of war, is engaged with equal diligence. Among the greatest military , works of the present age must. be reckoned the re construction of .the fortress of Alessandria.... This stronghold has been remarkable in the historY of Northern Italy during many generations. It has alternately defended Austrians aeainst French and French against Austrians. When Italy passed . into the hand s o f th e Fi rst Consul, the genius of great engineers and a vast expenditure of money were employed to make Alessandria, one of the strongest bulwarks of France. The Austrians on the fall of Napoleon destroyed the works, and now, after the lapse of more th an 40 years, t h e Piedmon tese Government isintent on their complete recon struction. The King is no doubt aware that on the independence of own territory rest all the hopes of Italy. The State which he governs lies between two great military monarchies, and lie may suffer either from their • their too close alliance. With A.ustria his Country has been at war within a few years ; the principles which Sardinia repie:ents are considered by the Viennese statesmen as hurtful to their own inte rests, and the demands of the Sardinian Envoy at the Conferences of Paris will not be speedily for given or forgotten by the Power whose pride and interests they threatened. The-world will there 'fore think that Victor Emmanuel's advisers do well to turn their attention to the reconstruction of the great Italian fortress. It adds not a little to the self-bonfidence of a minor State if it has a strong hold' of the first-class, under cover of which its small army can make head against the forces of a too powerful neighbour until the assistance of sympa thising allies can be obtained. Piedmont, placed between great warlike States, much resembles in position and hist ery the Belgian kingdom. Consequently Alessandria has been more than once the scene of great events. The last time that it was taken by siege was in 1745, - when it capitulated to the Spaniards ; it surren dered to the Russian armies in 1799, after a bloc kade, in that memorable campaign when, with its young General in the East, the French Republic was unable ta withstand the combined forces of the Czar and the German Emperor, se conded by the whole power of Great Britain. We may well hope that never again will a foreign enemy set foot within. the precincts of tile fortress. But it is a strange reflection what monarchies have, 'within little more than a century, been powerful enough to send con quering armies int• this region of Europe. Spain, whose Viceroys ruled at Milan and Naples for so many years, and which even in the mid le of the last century was a first-rate S' ate, is now of no more-account in Europe than a small German ling- - dons. Its decline within the present century has been the most sapid in the history of the world. We can hardly realise that this kingdom, which now has only a few frigates and corvettes, was, in the memory of men still living, a great naval Power. Jervis fought the battle of Cape St. Vin cent, in 1797, against 27 Spanish sail of the line-- a force equal to the combined armaments of France and England in the Black Sea. After eight years more of warfare the monarchy was still able to put to sea 15 sail-of-the-line at the battle of Trafalgar. Since then everything 'has gone —army, fleet, re putation, colonies, ships, and commerce. The so called Indies, from Texas to Patagonia, have be come independent republics, or passed under the dominion of th 3 Anglo-Saxon race. The poverty of the land is now as proverbial as its former wealth. - The grandees of the kingdom have fallen from their • high 'place among the aristocracies of Europe. We are now accustomed to look only with pity or con, tempt on what is passing at Madrid. If this has been the fate of the greatest of despotic kingdoms we may well have hope for the future. Spain was, during a long period of European history, the dread 1 of all ho had the cause of liberty at heart. The religion, pspular institutions, the inde pendence of all. second-rate States were supposed to be eadangered by the preponderance of a monar chy which cared for nothing but to spread its un scrupulous and crushing sway. Spaniards were supposed to possess above all men the genius for _conquest, and to be inspired by a fanaticism which made them certain of success in war. They ruled Italy with a rod of iron ; they held all that was seemingly valuable in the New World ; they were great in the Indian Seas, and at the Philippines established the most flourishing colony of those regions. They were the most formidable enemies England or France had ever met, and to resist • them manfully was looked up6n as the highest and boldest of all achievements. Yet they have passed away, and an invasion from another planet is not more improbable than that a Spanish army should ever again summon the fortress of Alessan drii to surrender. lay, and 'cep an a -ation 1 11 od.

DIPLOMACY AND THE ITALIAN QUESTION. have yet, if not the willing consent, at least the acquiesce ace of all Europe. Now, as far as Europe is concerned, the gist of the ques tion is simply this—whether it suits her and pleases her that Austria should be mistress all over Italy, or rather a just and equitable arrangement may bo devised. If it pleases her, if it is good for her, that the whole peninsula should belong to Austria, let there be no more parleying about it. Let the Court of Vienna manage it in its own way. The thing will be accomplished with but little ado. But if, on the contrary, it suits and pleases Europe to restore on this side the disturbed balance, so that the universal equili brium may not be endangered by it, then le: Europe cease from her negotiations and remonstrances with those mere phantoms of governments which have their seat in Italy. Let her turn to Vienna, and if negotiations avail not, let her threaten Vienna with those measures which hive been suffi cient elsewhere—and probably the mere menace will suffice. But I hear it said, and you, sir, have also heard it said in Parliament, that it is not so much Austria which jeopardises the peace of Europe as it is Piedmont, who tlreatcns to at tack her, and fans the fire always smoulderirg in Italy. I could not answer to this, that they are truly fanning the fire who arouse men's passions by treading on all rights, and that it would be 'unjust to charge with incendir.rism those who give warning of the deeds of an incendiary. 3ut I will be more frank in my answer. If the King_of Sardinia had 200,000 men he ought, in my opinion, to declare war against Austria. It would be his duty, as it is his right : the first duty of a Prince is that of vindicating his own light, and that of his nation. Nor do I speak of rights which may not pass current with diplomacy, but of those which are written down in public treaties, and in the code of civilised rations. Aus tria, sir, as all Europe knows, has sequestered the property of Sardinian subjects, without a trial, without a reason. Is there an Englishman who, if the property of the humblest and most obscure of his fellow-citizens were confiscated against all. human and divine law by a foreign government, would not cry out vengeance against such a violation of the right of nations ? Ndw,_ where is there an Englishman who will deny the same right to the Piedmontese government ? Let Mr. B. Disraeli, if he is a genuine Englishman, send his ad monitions to Vienna. Piedmont has no need of his admoni tions; it is not governed by madmen, nor will it madly put forth its own good right. m h ; roln7:t. -- ciglettitrtetteet , would justly jpiTvoi ; d3 . mot) to de molish them by the might of artilldy, bad Piedmont might on her side as well as right. ' of Italy, to put an end to all foreign oc,zupation, and restore the peace, the tranquillity; and thebalance of Italy, or put an end to all negotiation, and declare that, whatever may hap pen, they will never. allow any intervention in the Italian states. No one interferes since thirty years in Spain, and yet Spain has undergone, and is now undergoing, great political changes. Let no one interfere in Italy;and God Will provide. Either the Peninsula will have to become entirely Austrian, and will be governed by the Emperor, or in the Emperor's name by Imperial prefects, and by priests, who will then be come IMPerial ; •or, if there is, any virtue and constancy in the Italians they will free their country. In the meanwhile let the Italians neither betake themselves to desperate mea sures nor sink into indifference or despondency. The sup porters of bad government cry out that we arouse the people 'to rebellion. I must frankly tell you, sir, what counsel I give to the tortured people whenever I happen to write or speak. I beg them not to allow themselves to be outwitted or seduced by those few madmen who twice a-year cry out that the hour has struck, and who actually sound the knell of some new agony. I admonish them not to strengthen bad governments and Austrian tyranny with mad attempts and bythe profession of perverse principles; which terrify honest people; but I ad- Yours g, official assignee, Leeds ; Lancaster, Bradford ; Bond and Barwick, Leeds.

The French Revolution of 1830 gave a now turn to the practice, if not to the theory, of intervention. I know not whether the Bourbons applied for it, but we all know the allies did not attempt to restore them to their throne. The King of the Netherlands - would also have been entitled to his neighbour's aid to suppress the Belgian insurrection ; but Bel gium proclaimed her independence, and France, with the knowledge, if not with the consent, of Europe, interfered, but only to drive the Dutch from Antwerp. Likewise by the Salle Law, Don Carlos was the legitimate King of Spain ; but France and England made a league for the purpose of secur ing the crown to his niece, and none of the other Powers took the field against them, whereby the dogma of legiti macy seemed to be abandoned, as intervention was resorted to against it in one case, or uo intervention took place in the rest.

But Austria in Italy acted as if no change had taken place n Europe, and in that same year, 1831, she interfered in the affairs of Parma, Modena, and tha Roman State, putting down insurrections by force of arms. England, anxious above all things to prevent an outbreak of war in Europe, lest France should run again the career of 1789-1814, allowed Austria to have her own way in Italy. France made some efforts to stop her, but Metternich said to Marshal Maison that Austria would interfere in Italy even at the risk of kindling a Euro pean war ; and so she did, and Louis Philippe did not venture to take up arms. The maxims of the Holy alliance continued then to have all • their effect in Italy, and it was evident that Austria was and wished for ever to be the absolute ruler of that country. For a second time she invaded Bologna in 1822, and then it was that France landed at Ancona. But that landing was not for any benefit to the subjects of the Popo, i.nd not for any benefit to France herself, but rather to her utmost disgrace, and to the injury of all. Because after a short and deceitful show of liberality, France came to a close under standing with the Court of Rome, and Austria was never more omnipotent and overbearing in Romagna, nor ever were murderous factions more outrageous than when the French were in possession of Ancona_ The French es--1;+;,,,, wq. motion of the bilious and vainglorious policy of Perier, modi fied by Perier himself, and then turned to other purposei by the pedants who inherited his power. They were vieing i n cunning with the Court of Rod,` which has for centuries been unmatched for cunning, and they vied with Austria in the influence they, exercised over that court, as if they had undertaken, not, as they said, to secure a free existence . to the people, and put a check upon Austrian arrogance, but only to carry on the intrigues of a conclave or of a priestly cabinet. The French have taken it into their heads that' Italy is in Rome —the last constituent assembly has very 'clearly shown it—and when they have ascended the Capitol, they fancy they deserve triumphal honours, and flatter them selves they have the destinies of the Peninsula in their. hands. But at the present day the Capitol is only a sentry-box for the Pope ; it is not from thence that Italian destinies are wielfled. The imperial river is the. Po, not the Tiber. To ascend the Capital, one must scale the strongholds on the Po, file Adige, and the Mincio. At Rome it may be possible to baffle Austria in the election of a new Pope, and to obtain some cardinal's hat, but it is not possible to overcome Aus trian preponderance there, or even to restore the disturbed balance. vise them at the same time (and I say it here publicly, lest - . - should be said that we follow the example of secret societies) —I advise them to improve all opportunities, and to . exert all their powers to lay before Europe their own misery, the vileness of their government, the oppression of Austria, I 3 3 to 41 min, 03 GREAT WARWICK RACES. -On TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, and THURSDAY, the 2d, 3d, and 4th September, Return Tickets from Paddington to Leamington or Warwick will be available for the return journey from the 2d to the 4th, inclusive.

These tickets are available by any Train, but are not transferable, But the greatest danger, which seems to cause great un easiness- to some people, - arises from Apprehended popular outbreaks, which Piedmont is supposed to foster and pro mote. With respect to this subject, it were desirable that writers—as for. instance Mr. Disraeli—when. they are not writing novels, should not rave too strongly about a sub terranean Italy, full of secret societies, and with dirk caves full of earbonari drinking blood out of human skulls, and. whetting and projecting their fearful knives. Very fine stuff to embroider novels with, but no history ! I will not attempt to deny the existence of any secret societies in Italy, and I will not say that no conspiracy is brewing; but I affirm that the number of these societies wanes daily, and that their plots. now 'a days aro mere childish play, and no public danger. The governments conspire, indeed, to their own injury, and hasten their own ruin. For some time they strike terror amongst their oppressed subjects, and despotism seems assured ; then their agents indulge their worst pas sions and raise their voice, and knowing that evil deeds beget rancour, they fancy that rancour and revenge rankle in the hearts of all the oppressed; and because they feel great fear they endeavour to terrorise. - But when it becomes evident that the only prop to a bad and iniquitous Government is public cowardice ; when murmurs aro heard and men show some inclination to stir; then those who know their own de • fects and are aware of many enemies fancy the whole state to be a mine, with thousands of men ready to set fire to it— those heroes of fear are at once dismayed, and the Government which trusted them loses at once its dependents, its flatterers, its defenders. Such is the end of those governments whose deeds are a denial of God and justic3 ! The societies by which they are threatened are not secret, but public ; they aro the result of a compact between public conscience and public opinion. Their weapons aro the tribune, the press, publicity. Their standard-bearer is truth, which before piercing stone walls and planting its flag on fortified towers, has planted it in my conscience; in yours, in that of every honest man. When we talk of revolutions, moreover, we ought to dis tinguish an insurrection which may lead to the punishment of a bad government from that power or fury which has over thrown everything till it has destroyed and consumed itself. After the movements of 1848, and the Socialist convulsions attempted or threatened, there are many who can imagine no change in a State unless accompanied by some fearful catastrophe. Hence it happens that if the news spread that the people of Naples or of Bologna show uneasiness of being torn to pieces by the tortures in Meted by the Bourbons or by the Austrians, many am" already iu a fever lest the agrarian law should next bo pro claimed. Now I may be ignorant of the condition of other nations, but well do I know that Italy is the last country in which Socialist movements may be apprehended. 'To fear a republican revolution in Italy, now that all Europe is monar chical and France imperial, strikes no as a monomania as absura as that of hoping for it. Mr. Bowyer rides on as high a hobby as Mazzini, - and I think Mr. Disraeli has a foot in the same stirrup. Others there are, again, so cautious that not only do they fear all popular movements, but also all concessions and reforms that the princes might come to, be cause that awful remembrance of 1848 haunts them, and they fear 1858 may bring as evil days as those witnessed 19 years before. Yet they ought to consider that if changes took place before any outbreak of popular violence, whiCh are apt to turn the heads of the victorious people, to the great injury of the victors themselves, the states would suffer no disturbance, and secret societies would in vain attempt to agitate men's minds with revolutionary schemes. No principle seems to me more unshaken. Reform is the best preventive' of revolution. The very examples of 1848 gave us a luminous proof of it. Those states which in good time and with good faith adopted the necessary reforms, and which, after the storm bad blown over, maintained them, remained unscathed ; unhurt was and is especially Piedmont, safe not only against all probabilities, but also against all possibilities of a revolution. And as the present state of Europe is so dif ferent from that of 1848, that from the very country whence then came the examples and incitements to disorder, now would come counsels and examples of moderation, one can stand security that any just and liberal political change at tempted in Italy would give rise to no disturbance, and arouse no evil or dangerous passions.

AVERAGE PRICE OF SUGAR. Wee A Teriod of ten years elapsed, in which the governments of the Peninsula gave no sign of Italian policy—and could give none. Metternich said that Italy was only a geographi cal phrase ; and, so far as its rulers were concerned, he was right, for most of them seemed to glory in the insults at which they should have been the first to blush. The tradition of an Italian policy was in the House of Savoy, and was treasured in the secret heart of Charles Albert, but all Europe bowed to Vienna, and Metternich could have said with greater rea son that, politically, Italy was Austria. Italy was, in fact, more decidedly out of the pale of inter national law than the Turkish empire itself. Russia was not at liberty to do all it listed in the East ; but in Italy Austria had no check upon her doings. In 1845 the first glimpse of a less timid policy was seen in Turin. It was, indeed, no great matter. It turned neither upon popular rights, nor ou public freedom, nor on territorial questions : it was a squab ble about wine and salt, yet it seemed something enormous, so callous had become the other Italian princes to the Aus trian yoke, and so accustomed were the people to see them kiss their own chains and rivet their subjects' at Austria's bidding. Then Pius IX. came, of whose re:gn, mid of the events of 1848-9, I do not moan here to write or re-write history.

But the part of history which must indeed bey familiar to the English Government is this—that while England, aud, to some extent, even France, advised the Italian princes to speedy reforms, Austria bade them resist, gave sanguinary examples at Milan, threatened invasions, aud displayed all her overbearing might at Ferrara. She gave a still further extension to the principle of armed intervention, beeause she held' out threats, and actually resorted to violence even against legitimate princes, such as Pius IX., who showed seine inclination towards necessary reforms. It was then, in 1847, that those treaties were drawn up, which identified, we may almost say for ever, the Duchies of Parma and Mo dena with the empire. England declared in those days that she would see with great pleasure the most liberal reforms to which the Italian princes might be inclined, but that, she would not allow any territorial change; and at the very time those treaties were signed, which were as injurious to public right as any territorial change—and nevertheless the English Government gave no sign. France had estranged herself from England on account of those ill-omened Spanish in The newly erected paper and pulp steam-mill in Woolwich arsenal has now commenced operations under the most favourable auspices. The labours for the present are to be confined to the manufacture of cart ridge bags only, of which the machinery in its present state (under the personal superintendence of Mr. Mac intosh, the patentee) turns out a sufficiency, under ordi nary circumstances, for the supply cf the entire British army and navy. Its capabilities average about 20,000 bags per hour, ready forebeing filled. The principal portion of the machinery, which is on a new and perfectly unique principle, was supplied by Messrs. B. Hick and Son, of Belton, and consists of driving engines and boilers, pumps, pulp reservoirs, paper cutting machines, various - driving apparatus, Ate., as well as the factory engine of 40-horse power, the steam piping, iron pillars, raofin4, and numerous fittings. The knitting machine is from the firm of Messrs. Perry and Son, of Aberdeen ; and the cisterns by Messrs. Blakie, of Aberdeen. Other machinery will eventually be added to the establishment for the manufacture of every kind of paper required in the various departments of her Majesty's service. This will effect a considerable saving, as the cost of the ma terials employed in the manufacture of the articles will be comparatively nothing, an immense part of them, such as linen and other tags, being supplied, from the barracks and other Government institutions.

E. Strutt to the peerage has given the greatest satisfaction to the inhabitants of Derby, but more particularly to the members of the Derby Mechanics' Institution, of which his lordship is the president. On Thursday a deputation from that body waited upon Lord Belper at Kingston hall, when they presented him with an address of con gratulation on the honour conferred upon him by the Crown. His lordship acknowledged most warmly the compliment which bad been paid him, and assured the deputation of the continued interest which he took in the furtherance and objects of the institution, and of his willingness to eontinue his connection with it. After some conversation on the present condition of the insti tution with the different members of the deputation, his lordship took them thraugh his magnificent grounds and mansion, and, having partaken of an elegant luncheon, the deputation returned to Derby. MURDER OE A SOLDIER AT DOTER.—Yesterday Mr. G. A. Thompson, coroner for Dover, and a jury, inquired into the circumstances connected with the death of Lance-corporal Burnie, of the 49th Regiment, who was shot on Wednesday morning by Private Thomas Man sell, of the same regiment. Evidence was given, detail. ing the circumstances of the murder, as already published in The Sun , and A ss i s t an t-S urgeon Hannan, of the 49th Regiment/described the nature of the wound received by the deceased which caused his death. The jury, with out a moment's consideration, returned a verdict of wil ful murder against Mansell, and the coroner made out his warrant for commitment to prison. The Mayor and the Borough Justices also concluded their inquiries into the circumstances of the murder, and committed the prisoner Mansell for trial at the next assizes for Kent. Tan BOILER EXPLOSION NEAR BURY.—The inquest by Mr. Dearden, ene of the coroners of Lancashire, on the bodies of nine persons, killed by a boiler explosion at the bleach and dye works of Messrs. Warburton and Holker, near Bury, was resumed yesterda at the Al bion Hotel, Bury. Mr. Grundy, attorney, instructed by Mr. Holker, barrister, appeared on behalf of Messrs. Warburton and Co. to watch the case. Evidence was taken with reference to the original construction and the state of the boiler at the time of the explosion. Mr. Benjamin Warburton, ore of the partners of the firm, and Mr. James Parke, a member of the firm, by whom the boiler was made, was examined. The latter gentle. man believed the accident to be caused by external cor rosion of the plates, which had occurred to an extent that surprised him. The in quest was proce e di ng w h en the report left! arriages ; she coquetted with Austria ; she raised no complaint. It was thus that Europe prepared herself for the convulsions of 1848, and allowed tkem to be fulfilled, giving the Italians to understand that in their behalf neither natural rights, nor written rights, nor solemn treaties, nor solemn promises, nor the principles obtaining elsewhere, nor the famous consideration of the European balance—were of any avail ; that only the force of Austria had any weight for them and against them, so far as it would go. Our revolution was the moral consequence, so to say, of the policy of Europe towards Italy. The long commotions of the Italian people in 1846-7 were a stimulus, a motive to that commotion of the French people which hurled tho Orleans dynasty from its throne. The rulers of Franco ought to think well of this, because, if it is true, as it is but too fatally true, that tho examples aud move ments of France have great influence on Italian minds, neither can it be denied that the examples and disturbances of Italy are not without some effect on France—proofs of which fact have been seen not only in 1818, but in 1820, when the plots of Italian secret societies to some extent jeopardised the throne of the Bourbons. Tho revolution of February sent all Europe topsy-turvy ; it upset Vienna ; and after that town all Italy. After Vienna ; as those ought to remember who, considering our movements of that year, fancy that they may be reproduced at every change of leaves. That after Paris, Berlin and Vienna, Milan and Venice, should also rise, ought to be no great matter of wonder; but the wonder should be, on the contrary, that throughout Italy no movement took place against the existing monarchies, with the exception of the Austrian monarchy and the two small duchies : and these latter must needs be involved in the down fall of Austria, since in 1847 they chose to unite their desti nies to hers. And tho movement was only for national inde pendence and not for a republic, although the example of France might have prompted it. The tendencies to a conspiracy against any of the Italian monarchies only de veloped themselves after the Papal encyclical of the 29th of April, which was fatal to that cause of national independ ence which was the, only, great, and passionate mover of the whole Italian insurrection. This great felling was then turned to good or evil purposes, as it often happens but by turbid spirits, and by Utopians, and by harum-scarum brains, and by dealers in French political trumpery ; but all republican attempts were the results of despair merely. One Victory of Charles Albert would have taken from the repub licans—true or false—the very courage of openly professing their principles, to say nothing of the Courage of bringing their principles to practice. And we, who in those countries in which such experiments were tried, endeavoured to prevent them, dreading the consequences for our beloved country— we, who opposed the republicans, and were overcomeby them —we can with true impartiality bear witness that many ven tured on the desperate experiment only in obedience to the passion for Italian independence, which they fancied they could thus aid, and only after that sacred cause bad been given up by all the princes with the exception of the Sardi nian King. Austria again and again overpowered insurrections and con quered in war ; then, without any delay, she proceeded to destroy all free institutions in Italy. The princes, either by their natural inclination, or from a slavish instinct obeyed, by destroying freedom. Austria secured her own influence, and her interference in all the states brought back to the rule of absolutism, and by her military occupation she curbed the people and strengthened her own supremacy. The kingdom of Piedmont remained a constitutional state. How many plots and treacheries it has had to withstand may be easily imagined, by any one who thinl.s how much injury Austria received from the existence of such a government in Italy. This state follows a policy which is necessarily—l might almost say fatally—hostile to Austria. Austria lords it over the rest of Italy; but so long as the land of Piedmont is free Vienna does not, cannot, feel safe in her possession, in her usurpation. This is what Count Cavour said before Par liament, what Count Buol confirmed in one of his notes; itis impossible, it is needless to dissemble it. Piedmont has light on her side, Austria all the forces of the empire, the friend ship of all the other Italian governments, the influence of the Court of Rome, with which she has come to a compromise in matters of conscience to have it as a companion in life and death, to remove even the shade of the fear of another Pius M9re9vor, Awitria MOW t 9 411,Y0 had hitherto, ALA to I must also answer those who whisper that Pied mont, well aware of the strength of Austria, may not perhaps venture into a mad war, but will fain grasp, as she tried in 1848, the opportunity of an insurrec tion in the neighbouring States, to renew the chances of a conflict which then for her had an unfavourable issue. In the same manner, sir, that I think that Piedmont will never be dragged by plotters who would wish to make their secret societies a lever to move the world, so I feel firmly convinced that she will never allow any faction to jeopardy her own destinies, her blood and honour, which the Crown and Parliament alone have a right to stake. This., indeed, I think, is the first and foremost duty of the 'Pied moutese Government. It must take upon itself very delibe rately the advocacy of tho nation Al right, it must exercise it in any occurrence, but not in obedience to any faction. The choice of the means, of the resolutions to be adopted, lice with it alone, and wholly with it—with the Crown and Par liament. To fall back from pusillanimity would load to loss and disgrace ; to move on with foolhardiness would be a proof of weakness and a crime ; but I must avow that events may ari:se in which daring' alone would be pru - dence, and hesitation would be rashness. Piedmont, all Europe will avow it, has given proofs of wisdom, and will, I hope, show the same moderation fcr the future; but all wisdom and moderation does not de pend on hanging back. In very great contingencies he is often the most prudent who is the most daring and the mos t ready. It is for Europe, if she is really in dread of Italian insurrection and Piedmontese audacity, to ward off such dangers by putting an end, while it is yet time, to bad govern ment and to Austrian encroachment and arrogance. I think great reliance may be put on the long endurance of the Sardi nian Government, but that no one should fancy that the Crown of Savoy may ever be stained by cowardice, nor that Victor Emmanuel will shed the blood of his own people to spare that of his foes. If Europe still wavers, there is a fate which will drag us all on—that fate which drags on Austria, Italy, and the House of Savoy. But without speculating on those great events which allow no time or leisure for deliberation, we must, however, reflect that events of less moment may come to pass in which Pied mont may be moved by its duty and by a sense of its own dignity to act with determination. Austria, if wo can derive instruction from the past, and believe in the Congress of Paris, insists upon the full power to interfere by mi g ht of arms in any Italian state in which, as she says, she may be called upon by legitimate princes—that is, by her near rela tives, or by her subservient lieutenants. Now, a s s h e has no right to interfere, and as it is evident she does so not so much to prop up those thrones as to strengthen the misgo vernment and her own usurpation, it is also clear that Pied mont, both as an Italian State, as large as the Austrian State in Italy, and as a European Power, has at least the same right of intervention. And I say that as a matter of prin ciple she ought to interfere ; and that in her resolutions she can only be guided by her own interest and by the sense of her own dignity. Therefore, if Europe fears that peace may be endangered by Piedmontese intervention in other Italian States, it behoves Europe to put an end to the Austrian oc cupation, and 'provide against all chances of its recurrence. From all I have said, it clearly results how necessary it is that the Western Powers should soon come to some resolution on the subject of Italian politics. The alternative, in my opinion, is plainly this—either they must prevail upon InZIA4 to Tremolo the resistwo of ALI keid 69voraatozito, __-,,&-'-- UNATTACHED.

For some time past an abundant supply of wool has kept pouring into this market, and we have now on hand large quantities of all kinds of combing and colo nial sorts. Prices, therefore, are not quite so firm as they were some time ago; but as the staplers have pur chased their stocks at high rates, they find themselves compelled to stand out against the lowering tendency of the market. Business is consequently checked, and the transactions are very limited. Business in yarns displays a manifest improvement. Last week the operations for the continent were more extensive than had been the case for a long period pre viously. This week there was even an increase upon the transactions of last, and where the spinners would con cede a fraction in favour of the exporters, the latter were very ready to enter into contracts for future deli very. The high price of the raw material, however, compels spinners to act with caution and to stand firm ; and the fact that the production is at present limited (a great quantity of machinery having been stopped •in consequence of the high price of wools and the unremu nerative price of yarns) is in their favour. The manufacturers of worsted goods are evidently de termined to obtain better prices for their fabrics than bare been current. It is quite time, too, that they should do s o , i nasm uch as f or mon th s past they have not been able to cover the cost of production. Last week the demand for seasonable fabrics was tolerably good, and promising for the future ; this week, in consequence of the wetness of the weather and the occurrence of the triennial musical festival, fewer merchants have appeared in the market, and business has been duller. There is no change, however, in the relative position of the parties, and the prospects f the manufacturers may still be said to be improving. The bar silver brought by the last West India steamer was sold yesterday at the same rate as that obtained for the previous arrival—namely, 610. per ounce. the 61244rii JAY% net yet keen diVero Russia has been to Europe for the last hundred years in some degree what Spain was in the old times. She has conquered and ruled mercilessly. Her government has been conducted with the same- - . vigilance and cunning, and inspired by the same unscrupulous ambition. Fanaticism has been a powerful agent in forming an ignorant people into lit instruments for the purposes of aggressive war fare. The world in general has had the same notion of a manifest destiny which was to give the Czars a supremacy in Europe ; and the delusion has almost tended to fulfil itself. Yet, if we con sider that Spain was once far more terrible than Russia ever was, we may hope that, like Spain, • the aggressive monarchy of the North will one day cease to give uneasiness to civilised Europe. Even now. we can hardly imagine R issian troops be sieg iiig a Piedmontese fortress, although it is not yet sixty years since Alessand r i a opened her gates to Suwarrow's army, and little more than 40 years since 160,000 Russians were reviewed on the plains near Troyes. There is reason t) believe that a crisis in the history of Europe lira just taken place, or rather that the late short and bloody war was a sign that influences have been growing within the present generation which will for ever stop the aggressive plans of the Russian Czars. The wonderful increase of the Western nations in wealth, population, and power—the capacity of such a country as England to carry on a war for many years without feeling the burden—the rousing of the East to activity and civilisation—even the pre seece of great free communities in the New World and Australia, must diminish the chances of des potic ambition in a struggle against independence and national rights. It seems, therefore, that Piedmont and Italian independence have outlived the fear of two powerful States whose armies have in old times trod the Italian soil. There remains now but the Power which has, during the whole period of - what is called modern history, been as sociated, mostly for evil, with the annals of Italy. It is avowedly against Austria that the bastions and forts of Alessandria are rising. We do not believe that the Court of Vienna will willingly en gage in an open conflict in which it would have the - sympathies, and something more than the sympa thies, of all free nations against it; but it is not the less necessary to be provident and forearmed. Italy will soon, we hope, be strong enough to deal with all foreign pretensions to interference and dominion. In the meantime the English public will watch with pleasure every fresh gun that is placed in the defences of Alessandria. It has even been proposed that we should help Piedmont by offerings in kind ; but Victor Emmanuel can dis pense with any tribute of cannon, shot, and shell. Should the time ever come when Alessandria shall be pressed by an invading force, the transports of Liverpool and the stores of Woolwioh will not be wanting.—Times.

ANGUIS IN ECCLESIA.—On Sunday last, during the sermon, a snake attempted to enter at the door of Mar garetting church, but was luckily observed by a boy, who killed it in the porch.

THE RECENT GALE OFF BRIGHTON. —The bodies of all the sufferers who were lost during the fearful hurricane of the night of Wednesday week have been found. On Wednesday Thwaites, Marcbant, and Gringer (brother to the lad previously found) were picked up about two miles west of Newhaven, and fon Thursday Rolfe was discovered washed in abreast of Bletchington Battery, Carden at the east end of Seaford-bay, Allen at Cock mare, three miles east of Seaford, and Marchant was found between Chingap and Portobello, nearer to Brighton. The features of the poor fellows were all die tinguishable, but they were in a very bad state, and were conveyed to Brighton to their respective homes. Yesterday they were all interred one in grave at the new cemetery, and were followed to their last resting place by hundreds of their relati ves and friends, the expense of the grave, &c., being kindly defrayed by the Rev. J. N. Goulty. It is also intended to erect a stone to the memory of the sufferers, on which will be in- scribed a suitable inscription commemorative of the sad event. The subscription on behalf of the widows ard orphans, and the fishermen who have severely suffered, is proceeding satisfactorily, and the list includes the names of the Marquis of Bristol, the borough Meta , hers, Admiral Sir W.
