The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money - 921 3 „ Account Exchequer Bills 1 4pm Bank Stock Three per Cents 931 Next Account The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : Neither the London nor the Paris stock market has been influenced by the pacific assurances conveyed in the speech of Count de Persigny. Fine weather is waited for. Meanwhile the continued influx of gold to the Bank check any tendency to uneasiness. The funds remain perfectly stationary at yesterday's prices. The discount market remains without alteration. In the consol market loans are obtainable as low as 2 per cent. —Daily News. The weather having been moderately fair during the last part of the day the stock market has again closed with comparative steadiness. The account of the pacific speech of Count de Persigny at the opening of the Council of the Loire produces no alteration, although in Paris it appears to have had the effect usual from all these uneasy exhortations to confidence—viz., that of adding to the dulness of the Bourse. The fact of a further rather large amount of gold having been taken to the Bank imparted a tendency to firmness. About £96,0000 in fine gold was taken to the Bank.—Times.. The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day closed heavy, and prices, with a few exceptions, were lower. Canadas were firm, but without any material change in quotations.

We have, therefore, to suggest to our subscribers, who forward our papers to Lombardy and other parts of Italy, that they should, in order to insure safe delivery, address them via Belgium, in which case the postage will be 3d., :r ^^ -4 -- ' 4 France. _ Charles Kenifick, Esq., our talented correspon dent at Milan, has made a formal complaint to the British Consul resident there upon this subject.

Although there is no positive confirmation of the rumoured flight of the King of Naples from his capital, it is stated that this course has been recommended to him by the whole of his generals, with the exception of General Bosco, who naturally burns to retrieve his dis aster at Milazzo. If we are to credit another report which was current at Naples on Wednesday last, to the effect that the whole of the officers in the army and navy had tendered their resignations en masse to the King, flight is the only resource which remains to the deserted monarch. The corresptuidents of the London papers continue to contribute their quota of speculations as to the probable eventualities in Neapolitan affairs, for some of which we refer our readers to our column of telegraphic news. But we cannot now be long without • positive and authentic facts, proclaiming the termination of a struggle which ceased to be doubtful from the moment that the first detachment of Garibaldians effected a safe and almost unmolested landing on the Calabrian shores. According to the official returns made to the Malta Port Department, which are, however, suspected of being underrated, the total French force which has passed that island, up to the 25th August, is one ship of the line, four frigates, one government and two hired transports, and seven mail packets (in all 15 vessels), amounts to 235 officers, and 6,089 non-commissioned officers, privates, gunners, bombardiers, and troopers ; in all 6,324, with some 1,300 horses and mules, By telegram received yesterday, we are informed that of these 4,500 had been disembarked at Beyrout previously to the 22nd. The same account states that Fuad Pasha has hung 70 of the miscreants who have been found guilty of having taken part in the massacres, and has compelled other 3,000 of the Turkish inhabitants of Damascus, to enter the Ottoman army, a punishment which it is to be hoped and supposed is little less severe. By advices from Odessa, dated 17th instant, we learn that the weather continues most favourable for field operations, and the new corn arriving is in excellent condition. Supplies hitherto have been somewhat limited, but new Ghirkas will shortly come in very freely. The quality of new Ghirka continues highly satisfactory, and the average weight is about 62lbs. naturally. Birkenhead has had a very interesting, as well as a very rapid career. But its history is remarkable for few, if any, events of more importance than that of the Banquet given yesterday by Mr. G. F. Train, on the occasion of the inauguration, in Birkenhead, of the first Street Railway on this side of the Atlantic. The speeches and proceedings at this meeting, at which between four and five hundred gentlemen were present, consisting of the principal inhabitants of Liverpool and Birkenhead, and of men of eminence and distinction from the Metropolis and all the large towns in the kingdom, were in many respects, both as regards elo quence and substance, far beyond the average mark. We regret that the unusual pressure upon our space, of other matter of importance, which could not be delayed, has constrained us considerably to abridge our report of the proceedings, which otherwise we should have given at much greater length. Major C. H. Lindsay, of the St. George's corps, ex plains the scheme of a National Volunteer Mutual Asso ciation, for the formation of which a committee has already been named :—"The system in prospect is intended to meet the diffi cu lti es which present themselves to the thousands of young men w ho would g ladl y g ive th eir services in this great cause, b ut who are debarred fro m whichdoi n doing so are owi p n e g r t o o d c h a e l a n expensesdn therefore ecessary upon enrol men t, continuous ; our object is to entirely remove such heavy, inconvenient, and unnecessary taxes upon the pockets of our volunteers, and to enable them to join the movement with com paratively no outlay, but with the understanding that, upon ; payment of a weekly subscription of from 8d to 2s, ever y 11314 Nill- receive a certain sum towards his outfit on j ant, Grid every two or three years afterwards ; 10s. a week during sickn e ' s s aitek a service of one year ; ss. a week pension after the age of (.0 (With 20 years' service) ; and £lOO to his next represiniative big death ; of which, upon certain coaditious, will be guaranteed to him by the association—a fact which should tend to inspire i.7.74V-sid 50 . 4thicncQ in the beads \ ; \ti \ \ V L3verP ool to Aden. .. ii.o.n.g 40 0 e. d. g. d to 42 6 co o_ ttotoo 34 0 0 0 0 Hong Ditto from Wale s *************** 50 0 to 52 6 57 6 to 0 0 Chnsan 75 francs „ Bombay 2, Ceylon : Iron ' C"ls lron from the Clyde 52 6 to 0 0 GENERAL FREIGHTS. ~ Suez Sydney or I £3 7s. 6d. register ton.

Toe; M.P., in speaking at a public dinner in Galvray onlionday last, said that he had a- convic tion thatAhe Galway line would pay bitter than many lines aciorif thq:_klantic, and that the importance of the route wet, pe r haps , scarcely appreciated. Its advan tages were not billy British, they were'European ; for, according to the emigration returns for the last two years, whilst the Liverpool steamers have carried only an average of less than 60 passengers each, the Galway packets have carried an average of 240. The English Churchman states that three new churches are to be built in the parish . of Tynemouth, in addition to the three already existing, so that the parish will comprise six incumbencies. The new parishes will be endowed with £2OO per annum each. To carry out this plan, the Duke of Northumberland contributes the muni ficent sum of £30,000. The Ecclesiastical Commis sioners will make a grant of a similar amount. The Great Eastern returns from her first voyage, having silenced all detractors and evil prophets by her behaviour and performances, without exciting more than the most ordinary attention. The first and most momentous epoch in her life is now fairly and satisfac torily completed. After proudly exhibiting her unparal leled proportions to our kinsmen across the Atlantic, who of all the world could best appreciate the achievement of her construction, as they alone, besides ourselves, could have shown themselves capable of conceiving and executing such a monument of skill, perseverance, and daring, she has returned to her native waters, and hence forward to renounce her career of lionising and idle exultation in her strength and size, and to settle down into regular habits. She will be placed on the gridiron at Milford as early as the tides will permit, and she will be shortly advertised to sail from that port to New York on Wednesday, October 17. Sir Charles Scully has recently been sent out to assist Mr. Wilson, Chancellor of the Exchequer for India, as he was pleased to call himself, with a salary of £7,000 per annum. *.* From the extraordinary pressure upon our columns we have been compelled to give a con densed report only of the proceedings at the Birkenhead Banquet yesterday, and to hold over till to-morrow several important articles, including our Paris Letter and other matters of interest. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ITALY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MILAN, August 27. Without waiting for the official or private details of Garibaldi's last daring feat in crossing the Strait of Messina with 150 boats, in sight of the Neapolitan cruisers, and being able to capture only a single boat, is so incomprehensible that it either shows a most lamentable wantof that daring courage which would have thrown this fleet of boats into the greatest disorder, and consequently immense,loss, or it is an incontestible proof that the Neapolitans have not a spark of Italian pluck in their souls, or the commanders, fearing the inevitable ruin of their Government, make but a sham resistance,' and fire off a cannon or two in order to be able to say that they attempted to impede the landing of the revolutionists. From a private telegram received by a com mercial house, it appears that even the Torino, which was burnt and sunk by the Fulminante, landed nearly all her men before the Neapolitan frigate had pluck to come up to prevent the same. This mode of fighting is most disgraceful to the boasted courage and daring of the Neapolitan navy, and a most shameful deceit on the Govern ment, by men who are neither serving Francis 11. nor Garibaldi. The occupation of the town and Castle of Reggio has made Garibaldi master of the Strait of Messina, so that he may now, with the greatest facility, receive from Messina what ever number of his men he thinks proper to com mence his operations on the mainland with. The great and important question is, whether we are to rely upon the intelligence which we receive from Messina, that the insurrection has spread itself to several points of Calabria, Basili cata, and Capitanata. Should the report be true, it must compel the royal troops to divide their forces to keep in cheek the people of these pro vinces, and 'thereby weaken the main body of Bosco and Pianelli's army; but if these reports turn out to he the simple wishes of the Garibaldini, then the position and chances of the insurrectionists, even with all their daring, can scarcely avail them against such great odds, inasmuch as Pianelli and Bosco would be enabled to concentrate their entire forces in one point, or march against Garibaldi before giving him time to drive the people to revolt against the Government. ill.) , pi. aLc t. • _-„ iva3 Illiorlil Lee wax General Bosco (the same that was defeated at Milazzo) has taken up a strong position at Mon teleone, having under his command a corps of not less :than 20,000 or 25,000 men, and, from the same source I am informed, is determined to make the most desperate resistance ; but should Gari baldi, by that dashing onslaught and those bayonet charges which have been the great secret of his victories at Calatafimi, Palermo, and Milazzo, succeed in breaking the lines of the royal troops and throwing them into disorder, his triumph i s not yet complete, as Bosco would then fall back and join Pianelli, whose united forces Garibaldi would have to engage before he could hope t o reach Naples. Let us suppose that Garibaldi defeats both Bosco and Pianelli, it is almost impossible that he could cut off the retreat of their forces, and pr e _ vent them falling back upon the capital, where, with a force of 50,000 or 60,000 men that now hold the city, they would make their last and most desperate struggle before Garibaldi could plant his victorious colours upon the towers of Sant' Elmo. All my letters that I have received from friends at Naples agree in saying, that they have every reason to believe the troops will remain faithful. Should this be so, and the peo ple revolt against the government, the slaughter and destruction of the city must be frightful, as it appears that the King is determined to resist to the last, even if he should be obliged to bom bard the city. With these few particulars, I shall leave this part of the subject, to enter upon another, namely—l shall also suppose that Gari baldi is, as Punch says, " getting on like a man with a wheelbarrow, carrying every thing before him," and that he carries before him Naples, Rome, and even Venice, which perhaps would be more easy than the accomplishment of the internal organisation of mere states, so as to unite them in such a manner as in one day, or in one year, to succeed in crushing for ever those old jealousies, rivalship, and factions, which have ever been the curse of Italy. Let the correspondents of ou r English journals extend their experience further than the circle: of Garibaldi's staff, or a •particular class of persons who are the enthusiastic support ers of the insurrectionary movement —let them mix with every class of the people, resort to the public rendezvous of merchants and tradesmen, the cafés, alberghi, conversazioni, and the clubs, then I believe many of their communications about Sicily, Naples, Sand other parts of Italy, would present. a very different picture. Is Sicily con tent with the present government ? Are not the most powerfel factions at work to combat " the despotic and absolute policy of the government. at Palermo ?" Have we not had four changes of government in less than three months ? and now -our last news inform us of Signor Piola, Secre tary of State, having given in his resignation. Has not the Provisional; Government of Palermo, or rather Crispi, within the last week, ordered the immediate expulsion from Sicily of Signori Paternostro, Cortes, and' Campanlle, because they were pressing upon the government for the elections and convocation of an assembly of Sici lian representatives, and urging the , communes not to lose sight of the importance of keeping intact the autonomy of the island ? Does not the Provisional Government permit a notorious re publican journal, that is published at Messina, to indulge in the most insulting language against Massimo d'Azelio, Signor Rattazi, Count Cavour, and Cipriani ? This is the harmony which is at present prevailing in Sicily. Let it not be imagined that I am unsupported in what I have written here, and in my former letters ; I send you facts, not i nven tions to please but deceive my countrymen, of the real state of affairs in that island. The press confesses the disorder and want of union that is now prevailing, and which is even admitted by the Lombardia, the official gazette. Here is an extract :—" The news from Sicily is now beginning to assume a very grave character, and creates much uneasiness, in consequence of the great disorder which now exists in some of the principal cities, owing to the bitter contention between the partisans for the immediate annexation by universal suffrage, and those who insist upon the proclamation for the union of all Italy, and consequently the post ponement of the wishes of the majority of the every part of the Peninsula is free. Signor bepr o ti s A n a * the greatest difficulty in the discharge of the duties of his office, by the opposition he meets at every step. We hope, however, that these parties will arrange their differences, especially as this is not a moment for disunion among Italians." With these facts before us, and to almost repeat the same words as abOve, let us suppose that Garibaldi takes Naples, Rome, and Venice, will he or the Sar dinian Government succed in the organisation of these states, without calculating the changes of feeling on the part of the people, and the great time that must pass before they can be brought into anything like working order, or seasoned to the laws of Piedmont ? Again, how many cries would thunder forth for keeping inviolable the autonomy of this state, the preservation of especial privileges by another ; the determined opposition not to yield the prestige and influence of a third; the entire annihilation of the seat of Government and court of a fourth; the utter destruction of the interests of many of the prin- cipal cities by the concentration of all, or nearly all, the administrative affairs of the kingdom in a central capital. In a word, the entire trans formation of almost the whole of the Peninsula would be such a gigantic undertaking, that every - - Italian minister would sink under the task, and I firmly believe end in such a chaos as to lead to a civil war among the Italians. Again I repeat that I am not unsupported in this opinion : it is the conviction of thousands of the most en- lightened Italians of every city in Italy. Last evening, being at the club of this city, my con versation with a very distinguished nobleman turned upon the same subject, when he said—" I tell you frankly, sir, the union of Naples with us would be a great embarassment, and no gain : we have already enough to do. Let us have an alliance, honestly combined, between Francis 11. and Victor Emmanuel. The Neapolitans them selves do not wish for tke annexation, but a loyal alliance of the governments ; this is also the general wish of this part of Italy. lam afraid Garibaldi is pushing matters too far." This I know to be the general opinion of the people of the North of Italy. Make Italy as free and constitutional as you please, enter into whatever alliance you wish, even take the political pro gramme of the Emperor of the French for the final adjustment of the peace and happiness of Italy, but to talk of making it one kingdom is not only a gigantic delusion; but to talk of that which, if realised, would speedily open the way for the return of those despots who have been so justly and ignominiously driven from their states. Time will prove the truth of these obser vations. Our private despatches from Naples inform us that a desperate fight took place at Reggio, between the Royal troops under the command of General Vial and the Garibaldini, which, it is said, lasted five hours. Vial retired to Monte leone, and immediately sent to Naples his resignation, the cause of which is beyond all doubt that the Government refused to send him the reinforcements demanded more than ten days ago. Benevento is in a state of insurrection. Armed bodies of men are marching towards Avellino. Boldoni is at the head of 2,000 men. The Royal troops have abandoned Puglie. A despatch received this morning informs us that another body of Garibaldini, 8,000 strong, have also effected a landing in Calabria without the least molestation from the Neapolitan cruisers. I cannot close this letter without giving your readers a sample of the impotency of the civil authorities of this city, and the savage fury of the mob, which every day is getting the upper hand of the force for preserving public order, and, if allowed to go unbridled by the strong arm of the law, God only knows where it will end. The first ease occurred at a cafe well known to me, called the Cafe Swizzero, and almost entirely frequented by Swiss and Prussian silk merchants and their clerks. On Wednesday last a report was current that some of the cus tomers on the 18th instant, the anniversary of the Emperor of Austria's birth-day, expressly met to drink to the health of the Emperor, but which has been denied by all who were present, many being men too honourable to descend to a false hood. However, this was no preventive to a set of brutaFrascals, who entered the cafe about ten in the evening (the hour it is most frequented) and place upon the billiard table several pump kins (which are here considered as symbolical of the Germans), at the same time saying " take these and present them to your Emperor." An unprovoked insult like this naturally called forth a PPrws ,- ... 0 L of LIIVZG V, Lo.• yCI present, which was met by the foulest language and a general onslaught of those ruffians, who were joined by another party outside, when the Swiss and Prussians were obliged to make their retreat from the fury of the mob, but not before several were severely wounded and beaten. Then commenced the destruction of the property of the cafe, including several large mirrors, and per haps would have ended by setting fire to the house, if the officers of the Questura and National Guard had not arrived to stop further mischief. On the following evening (24th instant) similar scenes took place • at the Pensione Swizzero, Pre Swizzeri, Beiclnann's H'titel, and several other Swiss and Prussian houses, the mob yelling in the most frightful manner, and threatening destruction of life and property unless the signs of these houses were immediately removed, which of course was done to appease the fury of these rascals, the poor foreigners who were lodging at the same being almost frightened out of their lives. If this rabble is permitted to run unchecked through the city, not a single foreigner will be permitted to open his mouth, or whose Govern ment does not favour the revolutionary or republic 7endencies of a brutal mob, without the certainty of being insulted and illtreated. I have heard that the police have ordered the closing of the above cafe, without a centesimi of compensation for the destruction of the proprietor's property, thus driving the poor devil to a state of ruin. This is Italian liberty. I must add a few more words. A friend has this moment placed in my hand the Unione of yesterday evening, which states that on the 23rd instant 400 volunteers left Parma by the morn ing train for Genoa, in spite of the remonstrances of the civil authorities of that city, whose only resource was to immediately telegraph to Genoa the departure of the volunteers. 'The governor, on receiving this news, immediately obtained a sufficient force, and went to the station of Genoa to wait the arrival of the volunteers. As soon as the train came in it was taken possession of by the Carabineers; and ordered to return imme diately to Parma. A show of resistance was offered, but it was at once put down, when the volunteers shouted Viva la .Republica ! These are -the little beginnings to more serious disorders. Now that I speak of silk merchants, I cannot understand the reason that we have not one English silk house in this city. We English spread ourselves to almost every part of the world, and notwithstanding that this is the largest silk market in Europe, still we have not even a branch house in any part of Lombardy or Italy. Here we have Prussian, French, and Swiss houses—why not an English house ? lam positive that it would be an excellent specula tion. I know many young Swiss and Prussians who came here ten or twelve years ago with scarcely a franc in their pocket, and little by little, backed up with industry and perseverance, have in this time accumulated a capital of not less than 2,000 or 3,000 francs. Cannot some young English merchant do the same ? Another fact worthy of mention is that for the last fifteen years I have not known one of these silk houses to fail. TILE GRAND VOLUNTEER REVIEW A' KNOWSLEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. STR,—Allow me, through the medium of the Dai/y Times, to urge once more the necessity there is for having a holiday on Saturday next. As for business on that day, nobody thinks of it ; all • true and good wen are bound to go to Knowsley,—but then let it be done on the part of employers in a hand some manner, not hesitating and waiting to know what their neighbours will do, but let them come out at once and say their places of business will be closed on that day. It is due to the Earl of Derby to mark his kindness in a fitting an d unmistakeable mann er; b u t t o do so effectually the public should be at liberty from an early hour in the morning- Closing at one or two o'clock will not meet the case. Knowsley is not only eight miles from this town, but the pressure on the roads and by the railway will be beyond all previous experience. It is much to be desired that every outlet should be opened when the review is over, to allow the oarriages and other vehicles egress—not excepting the Earl of Sefton's drive, called the Croxteth-lodge—for, however difficult it may be to ohtain adtnission, it will be a much more difficult matter to get out of the Park.' By throw ing open all the gates, it would not interfere with the comfort 9f the volunteers, for they would be then busily engaged in refreshing the inner man. A Derby ciemonstraon eica not occur every day, so let the town do it juste. iT can assure the public it will be a magni4ent and gramri v ' s i g ht.__.y ol irs truly, • 'Change, 30th August, 1860.

At that town, as well as on their arrival here, they were enthusiastically received. Their Majesties will continue their journey on Saturday. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, August 30. The Bourse, although somewhat firmer, con tinues extremely dull. Rentes closed at 68.05, or 10 cents higher than yesterday. THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN. The cholera has broken out with increased violence at Malaga, 600 persons having been attacked in one day, and 50 of them having died. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Aug. 30. It is believed that theaCrovernment will pro mulgate the new political reforms without wait ing for the vote of the Reichsrath, in order to leave to the Emperor the whole merit of spon taneously adopting them. THE SYRIAN CONVENTION. PARIS, Aug. 30. The Austrian and Russian Ambassadors have signed their copies of the convention before quitting Paris on leave. The dates will be filled up and the signatures of the other ambassadors added as soon as the Turkish Ambassador has received full powers for the definite signature of the convention. MOROCCO. MARSEILLES, August 30. Letters from Algiers state that 50,000 Arab horsemen from all the tribes of Algeria, and even from Tunis, are making preparations to be present at the fete to be given in honour of the Emperor, on which occasion they will execute manoeuvres on a grand scale. THE REGGIO ENGAGEMENT. MESSINA ( ria Marseilles), Aug. 26. Colonel Deflosse, the French Republican, and one of Garibaldi's officers, was killed in the engagement before Reggio. Garibaldi ordered splendid obsequies in his honour. THE EASTERN QUESTION. CONSTANTINOPLE (VW Marseilles), Aug. 22. Notwithstanding the representations of the Ambassadors, Kurchid Pasha remained at Con stantinople until the Marquis de Lavalette again insisted and obtained his departure, in order that he might be brought to trial in Syria. The Mussulman inhabitants are assuming a threaten ing attitude. The garrison has been increased, but the soldiers' pay is still in arrears. Accord ing to advices from Syria, General Beaufort, in a proclamation, had prohibited the Maronites from renewing the conflict. SYRIA. BEYROUT, (via Marseilles), 22nd August. By order of Fuad Pacha, seventy individuals convicted of having taken part in the late mas sacres have been hung, and 110 soldiers shot. He has compelled 3,000 inhabitants of Damascus to enter the army. 4,500 soldiers of the French expedition have disembarked here. The steamer Ganges has not yet arrived. SWITZERLAND. GENEVA, August 30. It is stated that the Federal Council having been solicited by the French Government to send a deputation to Thonor t' greet the Emperor, replied that there was no occasion to take such a step. The French Government continually complains of ill-treatment of French subjects in Switzerland. It has been proved that up to the present time those complaints were mere calumnies. THE BRAZIL MAIL. LISBON, August 29. The royal mail steamer Tyne, with the above mails, arrived here this morning, and leaves for Southampton at noon. She has on board £34,000 in specie. The political news from the Brazils is unimportant. Exchange on London at Rio is quoted 251, 26; on Paris, 365, 370; on Hamburg, 710. The stock of coffee amounted to 65,000 bags.

General Walker and his men are reported as arriving at Ruatan, or its vicinity, in vessels engaged in the fruit trade. 7-art of the crew of eh. achooncl Clifton, i p - posed to be connected with the expedition, had been seized by the British authorities at Belize, to whom the vessel was afterwards surrendered by her captain. Walker is reported to be preparing for a descent on Costa Rica or Nicaragua. Yellow fever was fatally prevale nt at Belize on the 26th ult., and decimating the whole Population. Honduras had not taken for mal p o ssession of the island Of Ruatan at las t advices, but the British authorities had expressed their intention of abandoning it on the 30th ult. The inhabitants of the island were greatly dissatisfied with the proposed change, and it was beli e ved they would declare their independence. Signor Jos. Verges, the commissioner appointed by Lopez to settle the claim of the citizens of the United States against the Paraguayan Govern ment, will leave on the 25th inst. for Paraguay, via England. The excitement in Texas, i n rela tion to the supposed conspiracy in that state, is abolitionism, poison the sm, and on the increase.

FLIGHT OF THE KING GENOA, Ang. 29. The Genoese journals, of to -day, publishes the following :—The Anthion, which left Naples y e sterday morning, bring s the news that, on Monday last, the Neapoli tan g e nerals assembled in Connell, had, with the excepti on o f G enera l Bosco, unanimously resolved to advise the King to take his departure from the city. At the moment of the dep arture of the Anthion, a re port was current a t Na p le s that the officers of the army and navy had tendered their resigna tion, en masse, to the King. The Post's Paris correspondent says the Neal 397 litan Government has proposed to M. de Villa marina to offer to Garibaldi as neutral the tei+i tory o f Naples to prevent th e e ff us i o n of blood in th e capital. The correspondent of the Times at Paris remarks that the meat 4Praanct of the PFenc4 604,r414i f0F satisfaction 6n account of the recent outrage on its ambasSador cannot be viewed othentirise than as a lift oivcn to Garihalcfi and the revolution.. THE ROAD NiJRDERi The may S or awl 111(ItTpor4ticiii 9f Bath have memorialised the Homeeeretaryfer the appoint- ment of a special commission to inquire into the Road murder. Tint memorial sets forth that Mr. Kent's household are collectively responsible for the murder, and that the innocence of no one of them is too assured, and yet the inmates of that house have never been examined. THE COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH FRANCE. The Superior Council of Commerce has con cluded its inquiry respecting the various produce of French industry. Its last sitting was devoted to hearing the observations of English and French coachmakers ; ship-builders and ship owners were likewise heard. The Council had devoted three months and a-half to the collection of information. THE CORN TRADE AND THE MONEY MARKET. The Times says that considerable amounts of gold continue to be sent to Spain in payment for Wheat. With this exception, the continental demand is not so pressing as might have been expected. THE HARVEST AND THE WEATHER. The weather this morning has an improved appearance. The Bishop of London has addressed a letter to his clergy, recommending the setting apart of some early Sunday for drawing attention to the condition of the country in connection with the prospects of the harvest. At Mark-lane, yesterday, prices is to 2s in advance of those of Monday were asked, but not obtained, buyers being unwilling to concede the improvement. Letters from Odessa, in the Daily News, speak of the excellent condition of the new wheat. The crops in Wallachia are very good, but in Moldavia the quality is unsatisfactory. At Odessa, on the 25th instant, business was paralysed for want of shipping. The Great Eastern is advertised to sail from Milford Haven, for New York, on the 19th Oct. The two senior officers concerned in the dis graceful outrages committed a few months ago in a mosque at Cairo have been dismissed from the service. The Herald anticipates that owing to the late unfavourable season the return of bills on the 4th of the month will be large, and a fuller pressure for accommodation is expected. Sir William Armstrong writes to the Times to state that he'''hris' not tendered his resignation, and says th4t, althoUgh his engagement with the Government is for ten years, he has no intention of retaining either the office or the emolument longer than his services may be required for per fecting the system of artillery which he has been the means of introducing. The duties occupy his whole time and attention. SPECIAL VESTRY MEETING. The annual meeting of this vestry was held yesterday forenoon in St. Nicholas' Church when Mr. Church warden Cropper presided. The first business was the presentation of the annual report which was read by Mr Jackson. It was as follows : "On this day, twelve months ago, the burial board submitted to the general vestry a plan prepared, after actual survey by Mr. Young, of Commerce-court, of the lands the board proposed to purchase as the site of the future Liverpool cemetery. The vestry authorised the board to make the purchases, and to construct tile necessary works. "The board then proceeded to seek from bankers, insurance companies, and the Liverpool corporation, a loan of £76,000, the amount of expenditure sanctioned by the general vestry, endeavouring, the while, to obtain on such terms as would be most equitable, and the least burthensome to the ratepayers at large. In February last the vestry empowered the board to close with an offer it had received of the amount required, to bear interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum, to be repaid in forty years, by equal annual payments of principal and interest. "Whilst these negotiations were going on, the board invited competitive designs and estimates for the forma tion of the cemetery, forming premiums to the best three of £lOO, £5O, and £3O, to be awarded in the order of merit. " Several designs were accordingly sent in. In the greater part of them considerable talent was displayed, but; for, practical purposes, there was not one which approached the expectations of the board. The whole of them would have been thrown open to public inspec tion, but some of the competitors withheld their con sent. Four of these sets of designs, however, may yet be seen at the offices in Clayton-square. The board being most anxious to avoid all practical errors in the construction of the proposed cemetery, as well as to combine in it every desirable feature of beauty and utility, under the direction of a professional man of extensive and practical experience in works of the same character, deputed two of its members to visit and inspect the most reputed cemeteries in the metropolis and intermediate towns, to inquire as to their cost and management, and to gain information which might assist them in the choice of their future surveyor. Eighteen large cemeteries were thus inspected, and, as the result, the board became possessed of an amount and variety of information for its guidance of the most valuable kind. • "The board, in the exercise of that freedom which it has ever studiously maintained, advertised for a surveyor ; one well eneuainted with the requirements or large cemeteries from beginning to end, who would be recom mended by his works and past employers as a man well qualified to discharge the duties of the office, and who would engage to devote a large proportion of his time to their fulfilment. Such an one the board believe they will find in Mr. Gay, the gentleman they have selected. During the progress of the works Mr. Gay will also act as clerk to the board, Mr. Enoch Harvey having resigned the office in June last. An outline drawing of a design for laying out the ground has been prepared by the surveyor and his assistants, which has received the approval of the board, and another, on a reduced scale for distribution for the use of architects and contractors, is nearly completed. "Ample allotments for all classes of interments, as well as for chapels, catacombs, &c., have been assigned to consecrated, unconsecrated, and Roman Catholic pur poses. The highly ornamented portions of the ground will occupy the centre, and cover an area of about seven and twenty acres. Beyond the appropriated and unor namental central grounds large reserves are provided on every side, to be laid out with the rest, with a view to extend any one or all three of the allotments specified, at some future time, as their wants may require. " Negotiations with the Health Committee of the Town Council and the Commissioners of 'Walton, for permission to construct a deep outlet sewer between Priory-lane and Walton-road, are all but completed, so that this work, which is the base of the drainage and of all future operations, will, in a few weeks, be in the hands of the contractors. Advertisements are abroad, inviting architects to apply after an early day for instructions, and to furnish competitive designs there from for the chapels and principal entrance buildings. Premiums of £lOO, £5O, and £3O to be awarded in the order of merit to the best three designs, in the same manner as for the designs for the grounds. The remaining erections and boundary-walls will be made to harmonise, under the directions of the board and their surveyor. The whole of the works will be offered to public competition to be done by contract. "All the lands purchased are in possession of the board, and during the year the tenancies of the holders of the lands and buildings have been terminated, or re duced to weekly lettings, subject to conditions instituted by the board. This process has, in some few cases, been hindered by the tenants, but these are no longer an occasion of delay to the works. Temporary offices for the purposes of the board, the suurveyor, and his staff, hays been taken from Mr. Cuthbert, adjoining the new Exhibition-rooms, in Clayton-square, and there is every prospect of the for mation of the cemetery proceedins , as rapidly as its great extent and the importance of its character demands. It is believed that in two years from this time the cemetery will be opened and in the use of the public." The report having been read, Mr. J. R. JEFFERY, said it would be in the recollection of the vestry that with reference to the cemetery plans were submitted in Feb ruary last. The Burial Board awarded premiums to three best, but none of them came up to the manner in which it had been thought the land should have been laid out. Subsequently they advertised for a surveyor, and received in answer to the advertisement four applica tions. They selected the one who was in their opinion most suited to the purposes of the board ; his experience had been very extensive. In 1853 he was architect and surveyor and had since been appointed manager of the Bradford Cemetery; in 1854 he designed and superin tended at Halifax ; he had also designed and surveyed in Toxteth Park. At the time of his appointment by the board he not only accepted the office of surveyor but submitted to the board a plan for laying out the ground of the cemetery, which was approved of. The Board were now about to advertise for competitive designs for the enclosures and buildings, and as soou as these we re obtained they would be in a position to proceed without the slightest interruption. He had no doubt that these plans would meet with general approval because they allotted in the relative establishments a proportionate portion of ground to the memb er s o , l the EitAblished Church, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Dissenters, with power to extend, The CHAIRMAN said the next business was the elec tion of three members in the place of the Rev. Rector Campbell, Mr. Aldermau Woodruff, and Mr. Councillor Stitt, who retired. Mr. STITT said that upon a former occasion he begged to be excused from being re-elected an d h e wou ld now repeat his request. Both Mr. Woodruff and Rector Campbell had 'con se n ted to be re - elected. He proposed the re-appointment of the Rev. Rector Campbell because he felt sure he would be a man acceptable to the rate payers of the town. The motion was seconded cArt ^ ° and ed without opposition. AT y . Alderman Woodruff was also proposed and seconded and carried unanimously. Alderman WOODRUFF moved that Mr. BaxteX be appointed in the place of Mr. Stitt. They would all regret that they were to be deprived of 11ir. Stitt's ser vices, but as lgr. Baxter had consented to stand he thought him a man, who would prove a fitting substi tute. Mr. Jackson seconded the motion, and Atr, 1,3 2 ,*(q was forthwith elected a member. This concluded the husinm, .4IRW I ENAEAD STREET RAILWAY.—The number of passengers carried between the hours of 12 and 7 g'cl9cic Yggcrday was 4,300, HEALTH COMMITTEE. At the weekly meeting of this committee, yesterday Alderman Dover presided ; and the other members pre sent were—Messrs. Crellin, Beckwith, Ridley, Nielson, Haydock, Bowriug, Steel, and Stitt. SANITARY OPERATIONS. The borough engineer, building surveyor, and inspec- Lor of nuisances reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 159 nuisances complained of by inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken to remedy them ; 961 houses, in the unhealthiest districts, containing 3,144 apartments and 548 cellars, had been put under examination, with the view of improving their sanitary condition. HEALTH OF THE BOROUGH. Dr. Cameron, acting for the medical officer of health, reported that the mortality of the borough continued unusually low, 154 deaths having been registered in the week ending Saturday, August 25th, less by 115 than the corrected average for the corresponding week of the last ten years. The difference is most remarkable in the zymotic class of diseases, which occasioned last week only 31 deaths, the average for the same week being 112. Diarrhoea caused 16 deaths, against an average of 63 ; simple fever, 4; typhus, 2; scarlet, 5 ; measles, 4. Diseases of the lungs and consumption exhibited a com paratively high mortality, having caused 38 deaths ; diseases of the brain, 13 ; convulsions, 12 ; diseases of the liver, 2 ; wasting and debility, 28 ; old age, 4 ; rheumatism, 2 ; paralysis, 2. The medical officer of health further reported, that having examined the lake in the Prince's-park, he is of opinion that, in its pre s e n t condition, it does not give rise to any effluvia injurious to the health of the inhabitants of the surrounding villas. Mr. CRELLIN suggested that they should send a copy of the medical officer's annual report to every medical gentleman in the town. Dr. CAMERON thought that it would be a very valua ble document to medical men. Mr. BECKWITH remarked that it was always pub lished in detail in the daily papers of the town. It was agreed that a copy of future annual reports should be sent to the medical profession ; and that a. duplicate copy of the weekly medical reports should be , furnished to the reporters. Mr. Nicxsox said he perceived that there was a great decrease in the deaths arising from diseases of the zymotic class. He would like to ask whether those diseases were not for the most part under the control of sanitary regulations. Dr. CAMERON—Yes, sir. Mr. Nicxsox—l think it an important fact. The LAW-CLERK—It is a saving of a life in less than every hour and a half in every day during the week. Mr. CRELLIN thought the Courts and Alleys Com mittee had done much towards this result. THE REGISTRAR-GENERAL ANSWERED. The CHAIRMAN said his attention had been called to the report of the Registrar-General. There were several inaccuracies in it, and it seemed to him that the Regis trar-General should do more justice to Liverpool than he did in that report. No doubt the injustice in a great measure was done inadvertently. He would call upon Mr. M'Gowan to read the report, so far as it referred to Liverpool. The LAW-CLERK read as follows, from the report of the Registrar-General, issued on the 30th of June,. 1860 : "We may now turn from this small resolute city in an agricultural district (Ely) to Liverpool, the second city of the kingdom, where the great work of sanitary improvement is also advancing. " Liverpool lies on the shore of the fresh, deep, wide Mersey, which is lined by her magnificent docks, and the houses rise from the river over the red sandstone heights in long stretching lines. Lancashire and Cheshire cover the plains and hills behind the .queenly town ; before her are Ireland, America, and the ocean which her ships ride over, carrying foreign pro duce or the manufactures of the north to and from the various regions of the world. The place is well chosen for her health, and in Gough's Camden (ed. 1806) Liverpool is said to be celebrated for her " beauty and populousness." Yet it was found and published in the first Registration Report that the mortality of the popu lation of this district was in the latter half of 1837 at the rate of 39 in 1,000 annually ; while the population, of West Derby, containing, with other parishes, the outlying parts of the borough, died at the rate of 25 in 1,000. The strong contrast between the contiguous . places, and the subsequent discovery that Liverpool was one of the unhealthiest parishes in the kingdom, excited surprise as well as regret in the public mind. A local. association was formed of some of the best people, and the causes of the mortality were investigated, and were afterwards made known, by Dr. Sutherland, in a series of lucid papers. Little, however, was done; the prophets had been crying in the desert ; and in 1846 the mortality grew still more threatening. Cholera raged fearfully in the borough in 1849. Steps were now taken to carry out sanitary measures, under the direction of Dr. Duncan and the other able officers of the town. The sanitary school of Liverpool subse quently furnished some of the most efficient members of the commission which did good service in the East. Still, it is to be regretted, that the health of the great bulk of the population of Liverpool has improved but slowly. Liverpool has a good supply of water, but it is still infested by cesspools, including und er thi s name the filthy Lancashire midden; and the drains pour their contents into the dock basins, which exhale a malarious sickly air over the people. The mortality in the borough of Liverpool was at the rate of 29 in 1,000, in the year 1857. Much good, therefore, has been done since the year 1837; thousands of lives have been saved. Still Liverpool has not yet, like Ely, taken the bull by the horns ; or why not the mortality be as low as 19 or even 17 in 1,000 ? What natural advantages has. Ely, taking one thing with another, over Liverpool ? If Ely has had thousands of cubic yards of dirt removed, Liverpool has hundreds of, thousands of cubic yards to deal will' ; but 'her means .rap.wir?o,,,,,,,alpth her u a ty. Mr. IN ewlands can du for Liverpool what Mr. Burns has done for Ely. The cesspool, the mitiden, or call it what they may, for it is still the same, is the chief destroyer of the Lancashire population. Crowded dwellings, vice, want, do a part of the mischief; but in Liverpool the cesspool destroyed a large proportion of the 6,418 people wh o l as t year per i s h e d in excess of the numbers who would have died at the rates prevailing in country districts. The tender-hearted may shed tears over them as they lie in the cemetery. Abolish the cesspools of Liverpool and you immediately save the lives of thou sands of people. Yet the parties who have exerted them selves to put a stop to capital punishments have not been roused by this ruthless destruction of men ; and no living Becatia has written on these crimes and punishments. A living poet in one of his last poems exclaimed— Ah, it is the gallows tree I Breath of Christian Charity, Blow ! and sweep it from the earth. But what number of lives did the ' gallows tree' take away in 1857 ? Thirteen in all England and Wales; two only in Lancashire. And these were the lives of murderers, who were put to death for their crimes after the most deliberate judicial inquiry. But the 6,418 men, women, and children of Liverpool were destroyed Cruelly in that year without discrimination. Of tail cesspool, rather than of the gallows tree, a wiser miase will sing.—Sweep it from the earth." The CHAIRMAN said the language there was more that of a novel or romance than a document for men of busi ness. It appeared to him not a fair report, far it treated Liverpool as Liverpool was in 1857. The death rate then was 29, but he believed now it was reduced to very, nearly 25. There were further inaccuracies. First of all, the report stated that the drains ran into the dock basins. Now, he called the committee's attention to one fact, that a sum little less than £lO,OOO had been spent for the purpose of carrying the sewerage water through the dock basins. (Hear hear.) Sa desirous were the committee of carrying this work out, that though they thought in their conscience' it should be done by the Dock Board, and knowing there would be some delay if they went to law, they chose rather to make an over-. ture. They asked the Dock Board first of all to; bear one-half of the expense, which was refused. At last a kind of consent was obtained from the Dock Board, and rather than delay so important a work as this, the committee took one-fourth only from the Dock Board, so that now in fact the drainage of Liverpool was not turned into the dock basins, but was carried away into the river. Then, again, the Registrar-General insti tuted a most unfair comparison as to Liverpool and a country town. Ely was a place standing on much the same extent of land as Liverpool, yet Liverpool h a d a t least, he believed, 60 times the inhabitants of Ely, Mr. BECKWITH—EIy has only about 6,000 inhabitants. The CHAIRMAN—But there was another very unfair comparison, and that was that the Registrar-General selected the most unhealthy part of Liverpool to coin , pare it with what he considered the adjoining district. No one expected for- a moment that the adjoining dis' trict, which was composed mainly of agricultural land, could be anything but a contrast. It was not likely that the mortality of Liverpool would be smaller than that of a country 4istrict. It did a p pear to himthat in all these reports a great deal of harm was done by their not being more accurate. He did not think there was any design in it, but the tendeney would rather be to deter other towns from going into expense for sanitary improvements, if they found the results were such as the Registrar-General made them appear. What bad Liverpool done towards the promotion of the heal of the people ? In ten years upwards of three millions of money had been spent for sanitary purposes—that iv".,,s is water, in sewers, in paving, and in ?Manilla' thQ streets ; besides the sum of glenP.,'; laid out by Ovate individuals. The ulatal;erg of the committee knes what, a hard case it SACmed often to be when th e y impose d upon it porl'r cottage-owner not only the cost of draining, but sometimes actually the cod of re-draining. He walk sure no gentleman of the committee ever passed those motions, to give effect to the recommending of tha officer', without feeliug that in many cases they inflicted 0. Treat dent of individual hard s hip. (H ear , h ear .) ni I hen, again, he thought his rem ar k s were d u e to te heads of departments under the H ea lth C o mmittee. If they were not present, perhaps he should speak more Strongly in favour of them than he did now. But he must say that the, heads of departments, beginning with Dr. Duncan, the borough engineer, Mr. M'Gowan, and the law-clerk, threw themselves completely into the work. Re believed they felt as much interest in it aa any one could possibly do where it was a milttel of pecuniary advantage. It was his duty to snake these statements, in order to show what the committee had done. No committee devoted more time to the business of the Council than this com mittee did ; and he did not think there was ever a period when the meetings were so well attended as they were now, and with such very happy results. Again, too, in justice to the ratepayers of Liverpool, who had been heavily tave‘l for the purpose of carrying out these improv•emont9 2 he thought it right that attacks like these sha,uld be answered, The general effect upon sanitary operations frosii reports like these would be injurious. People would say—" Well, if Liverpool has spent millions, and the results are these, what is the use of putting the inhabitants to such useless expense" 12 4 th a t paint of view, the remarks he was now making were somewhat called for. There was no doubt w hat.; ever that the results of the labon.rs of the heads of de partments, and the labours of the committee, had beet; successful ; that the money of the ratepayers had WO results; and that these results were a saving of maul thousands of lives every year. lie believed he WO correct in stating that in 1839, at the time the health bill came into operation, the death ra t e was 39; in 1857 it was 29; and he Wieved it was now 25. Mr. Niexsox said the statements of the Registrar; General were powered by Mr. Newlands at the Local Congress at Bradford.
