All freights are lower, as a large number of ships have arrived, and in consequence tonnage is plentiful for every port. For the West Indies and Brazils rates arc considerably lower, as there is but little demand for ships, and several are offering. India and China freights are dull at our quotations, vessels are anxiously inquired for to load salt for Calcutta, and 38s would probably be, paid free of consignment. Homeward freights are inactive, and merchants very reluctant to operate even at the rates we quote. Freights to U.S. ports are very dull, and the above rates are scarcely obtainable.

In the House of Lords yesterday, after several other bills had been advanced a stage, the Census Bills for England and Ireland, the Tithe Commutation, and several other minor bills, were read a third time and passed. Some conversation took place, in respect to a proposed levy upon districts, in order to pay for adjutants and other training expenses of the volunteer force. The proposal was opposed by Earl Granville, and . the subject dropped. In the .House of Commons, the Gas (Metropolis) Bill was read -a third time and passed ; and Mr. Bright gave notice of a motion for postponing the subject Of national defence till a future period. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he should bring forward the Paper Duties Bill on Monday week. After several questions on the Sicilian difficulty had been asked and answered, the House went into committee on the Euro pean Force (India) Bill, and shortly afterwards adjourned. It appears that before the evacuation had been de cided upon there had been three serious engagements near Messina ; in the two first of which Garibaldi's forces, being outnumbered, suffered severely. The third despatch from Colonel Medici to the Dictator, and which is dated the 17th of July, says :—" The enemy renews the attack with greater energy and greater force. Three thousand men are fighting on our right against five hundred cf ours. The light lasts for more than two hours with a well-maintained fire. The enemy has bombs and cannons, with positions well chosen ; he resists energetically. , Two charges with the bayonet on the part of our men decide the . day. The enemy retire to Milazzo; has suffered severe losses in killed and wounded. We a ENV - killed, but a great number wounded. We have made some prisoners. The pirit of the volunteers is admirable." On receipt of this intelligence, the Dictator left Palermo, on board the City of Aberdeen, with a strong contingent. He placed himself at the head of the army which is operating in the province of Messina, and would probably have soon turned the fortune of the day, but the effusion of further blood was fortunately pre vented by the voluntary withdrawal of the Neapolitan forces. The Pnesn of Naples, a new journal, says :—" Several vessels of the Neapolitan navy, which had sailed for Messina laden with bombs and stores of all kinds, have come back here. It is supposed that the Sicilian fleet, which consists of the 'Washington, the Franklin, the Lombardo, the Oriso, the Veloce, the Duca-di-Calabria, and the Elba, intercepted their passage, and compelled them to return. Garibaldi has quite a respectable fleet already, and is said to have just received an accession of two fine steamers from England, one called the British Vulcan, _ and a considerable sum of money. Kossuth, by the wa - y, is expected in Sicily, and members of -hii staff have, indeed, already arrived. It is generally believed that Garibildi's operations against Messina ate a feint, to cover a greater enter prise; and that as soon as Garibaldi shall have set foot on: the Neapolitan continent, the so much. talked of royal army will 'melt away like snow. in the April sun. The Neapaitan navy is so much against the King that the Government. dares not dare to employ it against the-conqueror of. Sicily, .nor does he dare to use his fleet for transporting fresh troops either Co Calabria or the Abruzzi, lest it should bolt to Palermo. In point of fact, there is no doubt that the hours of the Bouibou dynasty are now numbered, and that its complete ruin is near at hand. News has arrived- of fresh massacres in Syria, and France proceeds with her arrangements for the proposed expedition. The French fleet In the Aleditthan'ean is to be increatiecito tie* sail of the line, and amongst the vessels commissioned is :La Gloire, one of the steel- Piked rams. Considerable interest is now attached -to the meeting ' cir the Emperor or Austria and the Prince Regent of Prussia at Tceplitz. The Pays has heard, but of course does not guarantee the news, that a treaty between. Atria - and Prussia has been prepared in anticipation of the meet ing which is held at a place not divested of some interest ing historical associations. Tc glitz, says our Gazetteer, is a town of Bohemia, in 'the cirde of Lentmeritz, cele brated fur its warm' baths. Near this' place the Austrians defeated the Prussians in. 1762, and liEro the allied sovereigns bad their head-quarters a considerable time in_lBl3._ it is 16 miles_north-west of Lentmeritz. A letter in the Cologne Gazette states that the Pope bas refused to adopt any of the measures suggested by the French Minister, and has declared, if these Changes are forced on-birri, be will abandon his States: The Papal GOvebmeiit is kept in constant alarm by the rapid organisation of an army in Sicily. The Daily Ti s wal the first to announce, froth its continental correspondent, the fact of the general disaffection of the 'lrish contingent .of the Papal army, .and-the-virtual-dismemberment of the - corps. For, this we were gravely called to task by a Roman Catholic _ newspaper published Ihere,,t,whieh "giie an impudent denial of the fact. The correctness. of our original ifatement . has been abundeitly confirmed, not only by subsequent intelligence front Rome, but by the nate fives of-some of the returned eruSadersi and which. have been made public through the medium of the press. We have given' else Where the awakening of ono poor fellow who had. gone out dreaming of a marshal's baton, and has retarned• a sadder and a wiser man. The Times of yesterday also publishes a lengthy letter from another victim, who signs himself. J. O'Brien, and who, after being thorangbly die gusted *ith *hat he saw in Italy, was fortunate enough to get away along with sixteen others. They were, however;' Attest famished on the return journey, which was made by way. of France, and met a painful disillusion of the love and admitation -which they beleted :that Irishmen were regarded by the French. This is an amusing part of the narrative, but sive hive space only for the conclusion of the letter : " The Xation states that things are going on flourishingly with the present number in Italy. Now, this is a most undisguised falsehood, for when the order t4l . 'Meth from' Rome to Spoletto was given at Cimana barracks, previous to my departure from Rome, not one man would march ; all had to be dragged ddt.irstairi like slaves ) , and impeded only at the point of siviss bayonets ; and, again, when the oath of allegiance was- administered, not a man consented to _sign the papers or take the oath. These . are facts, and only a few facts out of many, and I should like to know by what process of ratiocination the editor of the Aczeicfri would attempt to disprove them. Should he make the 'attempt, I will reply to him by another seties2af facts, the publication of which could not be very agreeable: to him.

The demonstrations of. the Belgian people, on the occasion of the King's journey through the" provinces, in which the whole stress is laid on the unanimous wish of the Belgians to preserve their separate national existence, their constitution, and their dynasty, continue with unabated vigour. The latest reports are from Char. Jerbi, Ilea? the French frontier, where the King's recep tion was even warmer and more noisy than elsewhere. The abolition of octrois All through the. cities of Belgium, of which the Minister Frere is, the chief author, has greatly added to the popularity of the Government. When the octroi-houses were taken down at Br ussels the people carried the materials before the Royal Palace and ado a bohtre cf theni, amidst continuous shouts of the "King forever," 3 ‘ Three cheers for Frere," and singing of the . " Brabauconne." As octrois are the rule in France, the measure was not quite without political bearing. , On the day of the eclipse, and while the sun was obscured, the town and neighbourhood of Annecy (Savoy) was visited by a tremendous hurricane. In the town, stacks of chimneys and parte of rOoS were bloWn down, and the streets covered with bricks and tiles, and in the country trees were torn up by the roots, and others had large branclies torn off. The obscurity of the eclipse, added to that caused by the storm, almost turned day. into night, and in many houses it was found necessary to have lights. Reports of similar stories reach us also from different parts of Switzerland. The papers of. yesterday publish a report on the state of the Atlantic cable in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, by Mr. Varley and Captain Kell, the gentlemen deputed by the Atlantic Telegraph Company to recover the cable. The attempt, we regret to state, has failed, only some seven miles of the cable having been raised, and this consisting of a number of pieces. Much of the cable was in a very bad 'state, which the above gentle men attribute to the rocky character of the bottom. After making a great many attempts, the two officers were compelled to abandon the enterprise. In the grave circumstances which have so suddenly arisen in connection with the Eastern question, we are not surprised the: Ministers should feel considerable perplexity. Two Cabinet Councils have been held within the . last few days. The Session of Parliament, which will shortly close, has been singularly unproduc tive of important public measures ; and although it commenced so early as January, its labours are summed up in the fact that up to the present time only 56 pub lic and 17610ca1 Acts have received the Royal assent, — most of the public Acts passed, being merely of a tech nical character. With reference to our export trade, the Board of Trade returns, issued yesterday, show that the value of British and Irish.prodnce and manufactures exported in the month of June last was £9,238,454, being a decrease of £1,429,437 as compared with the same month last year. The comparison of the six months ending June 30th is more favourable, being £62,019,989, against £63,003,159 in the same month of last year. We have already mentioned that a memorial; very nutnerously and influentially signed, had been drawn up on the subject of an increase of the Episcopate; and this, we learn, has now been presented to Lord .Pal merston. To carry out the object, a bill has also just been introduced into the House of Peers, by - Lord Lyttleton. The 117th annual Conference of the Wesleyan Con nection, established by the Rev. John Wesley, is now being held in London, nearly 450 ministers being in attendance. The first meeting was held on Wednesday. The highest honours in the gift of the Conference are the offices of President and Secretary, and their election is looked upon with solicitude by the great body of Methodists throughout the world. All ministers in attendance who have been in orders fourteen years and upwards have a ,vote for these high officials, which is given by ballot. The Rev. William Wood Stamp, of Liverpool, has been chosen President by 186 votes.- Dirertarg. THE DAILY TIMES OFFICE, 3, BRUNSWICK STREET. STEAM PRINTING WORKS, 40, LEIGH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. To any one who looks a little a-head it must be evident that, in the progress of scientific inven tion, we have not yet derived from this wonder ful agent one-twentieth of the advantages which, when its itse is more widely extended, we shall ultimately enjoy. We feel confident, indeed, that in a few years every street and district of our large cities will be more or less linked together by the wonderful wire; and the telegraph will be applied for social and domestic intercourse to an extent now difficult to conceive. As it will beat in point of despatch that other admirable institu tion, the Post-office, the day may possibly arrive when it will also successfully compete with it .in point' of cheapness. We have. been led into these reflections by serving that a prOspectUs has been issued of the linited, Kingdom Electric Telegraph . Company fir introducing a system of electric conimunica fon on the Post-office principle of a uniform ifiarge, irrespectiVe of distance. The rate pro iosed is- a shilling for a short message to any part if the United Kingdom. The capital of the 3ompany is to be L 160,000, in shares or fos each. On Wednesday . a Parliamentary- return was issued, which contains some interesting informa tion as to the Electric Telegraph Companies at present in existence. It appears from this docu ment that twenty-eight companies have• been incorporated either by act of Parliament or Royal charter, ten of which only are in operation. With respect to the others, the return states that some of theni are " not known; letter returned' by poSt-ofhce." One has been wound up, 'and with respect to theothers, " no information " has been received, or they have been suspended or are in abeyance. The EleLtric and International Telegraph Company have an authorised capital of 41,148,000, - of which £527,855 been raised since 1846. In 1861 the gross revenue was £49,866,-and the-dividend 6 per cent. per annum; in 1857 it was £180,734, and the dividend 8 per cent. per annum; in 1858 it Was £177,638, and_ the _dividend 61 per -. cent. per annum ; and in 1859 it was £201,674, and the dividend per cent. per annum, la. the year• 18.50 -the ium ber, of miles in operation was 13,906, the number of stations opened 257, and the number of messages sent 64,734 ; and in 1859 the number of miles in operation was 62,429, the number of stations opened 562; and ;the number of messages `sent 1,025,263. The persons em ployed in 1854 were 1,281, and in 1859 1,594: .

Dublin, ss. ; and half the rate for every additional 10 words or fraction of 10 words, or 3d. per extra word beyond 20, at the oPtion'of the sender. With respect to the Red Sea and India Telegraph Compan:Y, it is stated that the company ,W 215 formed in August,' 1858, under the sToint-stocii.. Companies-Act, and incorporated by a special act of parliament in July, 1850.. The present capital is £BOO,OOO, in 4,000 shares of £2o'eachit of Which £7l/0,000 has been called up. Of this amount £15,000 has, been paid for concessions, £lB,OOO for the necessary buildings, &c., for the stations up to :this time, and the remainder etpenaed in the constrnction and,layingßf a telegraph between Alexandria and Ku rr ache e . The line Veing not yet open to the public, no account of annual receipts and expenditure can .be given r ,orof messages sent. The shareholders have, however, received three payments of interest, under an agreement with the Treasury, by which 41 per cent. is guaranteed for fifty fears on the paid-up capital (not to exceed £1,000,000).' The line consists of 220 miles of -land line between Alexandria and Sttezi and 3,048.mi1es of siihruarino line from Suez to kurracb.et, with Ave intermediate stations. The staff tO'be employed has not been at present fully decided .upon. On. the opening of the line, it is pro posed,to fix the _tariff at £4 10s; for a single message of thirty words'. - , The etateriielits respecting the . Sdbmarine. Telegraph Company between Great Britain and the continent of. Europe, show that the present total capital of the com pany:is £340,000.. The receipts for 1852 were £4,632, the expenditure £1,922, and. the dividend 6 per cent. per annum. Dividends of 7,7 f, and 8 per - cent haVe been Paid, and in 1559 the receipts were £26,995, the expenditure £14,121, and the dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annual. The number of miles in operation i n 1932 wag 96, and the number of messages sent 3;049 ; and in 1859 the number of miles Open was 2,366, and the messages sent 122,969. This company is in com munication with all the telegraph stations on the Con tinent, amounting to upfraids Of 3,000 Under -the.-head of "British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company " we find thit the amount expended up to the date of the prehase cf the British. Telegraph Company, incorporated by royal charter in April, 1854, upon works, patents, &c., was £284,847, and that the amount similarly expended by the British Telegraph Company was £297,130. Since then above £lOO,OOO haVe also been expended. The dividends paid in 1867 were at the tate of 51 per cent. on Class A, 7 per cent. on Clan B, and 4i per cent. on Class C shares ; in 1858 the dividends on these shares were 6, 7,-and-4 per cent., and in 1859, 41, 7, and 4 per cent. In 1867 the num ber of miles of line in operation was 3,441, and in 1859, 4,197. The message's transmitted in 1857 were 423,772, and in 1859, 550,168. The number of persona einplotect at - tile end of 1859 was 1,044. THE POPE'S IRISH BRICIAIjE. RETURN OF THE IRISH GENTLEMAN WHO DREAMT OF A MARSHAL'S BATON. A young gentleman, possessed of an inde pendent income, was induced by the Pope's clerical recruiting officers to join the grand army of invincibles, *liieh iris to preserve the Papacy in spite of itself. - He was guaranteed a commis sion, and dreamed of a marshal's baton. He furnished himself, at the suggestion of the tempter, with a very handsome uniform—green and.gold, and so forth—and he left our quays in the con fident belief that honours and rank were open to him. On Tuesday (says the editor of a Dublin paper) we had an inter View with him; and it was; indeed, difficult to recog nise him. He Was lean; ague-stricken; feeble; and squalid. He was dressed like ri• decayed acrobat, whose "properties" had been seized. As long as he travelled through France and Austria, and his own money lasted, he managed to live ; but once he reached the Papal terri tories he had a more vivid idea of purgatory than any dogmatic theology could give him. At Macerata, a town most appropriately named; his splendid uniform was taken forcibly from him and sold by auction. In exchange he was fur nished with an old flannel shirt, and an indes cribable pair of knee-breeches. That was the uniform of the Pope's Irish Brigade. He had re served a second coat, and was once, unfortunately, teripted to display it, when that too was sold by a drum-head auction. He found that remonstrance only subjected him to extra drill and threats of the bastinado. The drill was more severe even than the Austrian, for it was a discipline involving such severe punishments for disobedience, that numbers of Irish have already been shot down by Lamori ciere, others have been flogged, and many have been sent to till the sands of Algeria. Once he had, with others, to march 30 miles, with nothing to eat, or means to procure any. Every day he was given by an agent of the Pope four copper coins, about the size of a halfpenny, bearing the arms of Pio Nono on one side, and an inscription, testifying that its value is one bajoccio, on the other. Even in the Roman territories little could be got for four bajoccio. The recipient was-, at the utmost, able to procure some . macearoni and salt, no very pleasant food to an independent Irishman. • His health naturally gave way, and abiast he managed to procure his release. The man who went away in splendid uniform, full of hope s , and in robust _latiilth, was landed on Monday on our quays . , in the remains of the flannel shirt and knee-breeches so worn down that nobody could identify him. There were - about eighty assembled in Abbey street, on .Sunday, and as many more on Monday, in the same miserable plight. Those who seduced these unfortunate men had not done their worst when they persuaded them to leave home and kindred. They now endeavour to blast their characters, and they say these Irishmen were driven from Rome in this wretched state solely because they wanted to pillage and plunder the Pope's subjects. A more atrocious calumny, we believe, never was uttered. It 'is a law, of the Roman Court, that if a beggar be hungry he may take the loaves from the bakers with impunity. and, perhaps, in their starvation, some of these poor men may have availed themselves of the privilege. When these men were departing, they were extolled as the chivalry of Ireland, the bone and sinew of the land, as full of piety and faith. Now that they are broken down and cast back upon their own shores, they are accused of being cut-throats, ruffians, incendiaries, and robbers. Had they been such characters, they_vvould have been better treated, for we know, from the pre cedent of Kalbermatten, that the surest road to honour and emolument, under the Pope, lies through robbery, pillage, treachery, and murder THE COURT. OSBORNE, July 26. The Queen, the Prince Consort:, icess Alice rode on horseback yesterday, attended by Col. the Hon. A. Hardinge. _ _ Her Majesty has received a telegraphic message, dated this morning at Potsdam, announcing that her Royal Highness the Princess Royal's condition is most satis factory, and that the infant Princess is perfectly well. Some one has wisely remarked that those who go, to law for damages are sure to get them. Near Gallaway, in SCOtland, a little girl, who was bit on the thumb by an adder which had taken possession of a bird's nest, died is thirty hours.. `' " THE BL UE COAT HOSPITAL BOYS AT SOUTHPORT. The treat whiCh has been looked forward to with such joyous expectation by the boys belonging to this excellent charity, came off yesterday at Southport, and .was so highly satisfactory that we are sure it will be a "red letter day" in the experience of the juveniles. The railway company made most efficient arrange ments, which sectired the personal conifort of all, both in going and-returning. They departed from Tithebarn-street station by tb . 11.35 train, and left Southport it 8 p.m. The progratifine, -- which was carefully prepared by • the committee of management, was rigidly adhered to, - and -.ensured a complete afternoon's enjoyment, as nothing - occurred to mar it in any - way ; and not the least important element, the weather, was favourable. . The refreshments were served at two different periods.-=-2 o'clock p.m., and 6.30 p.m.—and consisted of veal pies, buns, milk, and fruit. The pistil:nes, Were donkey faces, foot races, rounders, foot ball, and most eagerly Were they indulged hi.. Nothing, however, was more relished than a salt water tati The. Procession through the principal streets, on arrival, was . headed by several of the trustees . and other warm friends of the school. A selection of music was played before the town'-hall, on the new pier (te which the children. .were admitted through the kindness of Mr. Harrison); andin front of the public baths: On two occasions the "National Anthem " was given, which was followed by vociferous ifieering. The names of the gentlemen Who Oig,anised the treat Were well received by the lads, and, on the call of Mr. Wood (the worthy fliaster), they gairillieriiihiee lusty cheers. Thedtilroccupied three quarters of an hour on the shOre";and most efficient in every respect the boys were in the various manoeuvres: Too great credit cannot be given to Mr. Wood for having — initiated this systein, Which he did so early in the history of the national volunteer movement, nor to Mr. liaVres, the senior .assistant-master, for the, zeal and untiring energy with which he has carried out so sue cessfally.the various unitary evolutions, which. the boys- perform - in -a manner to Oaf the- warmest encomiums of volunteer officers, who have at different -times been present during their drill. A very old -subscriber to the school most kindly gave to Mr. Wood personally a sum of ten • pounds, as a specialdonation, and to recognise his high appreciation of tbc iiic:llfiet in which the boys conducted •themselves during the day, under the vaned circumstances; and ,we are sure-that -all- who were present mist have admired their exemplary conduct, and secretly wished that future excursions might terminate . as favourably as the first visit to Southport has done. P, THE WHITWORTH CANNON. THE OFFiCiAL 'ttLiLi s YESTERDAY, AT SOUTHPORT. The official trial •of Mr. Whitworth's guns Ni as resumed yesterday, on the sea shore, near Southport. The officials appointed to witness the trial were on the spot during the day, but the assemblage of spectators waS not nearly so large as on the Wednesday; the good • folks of Southport appeared to think little, and care less, of the rumbling thunder which a favourable breeze carried to their secluded little town. At no hour of the day were there 150 persons on the sbetieof operations ; but those who did honour : the guns with their presence paid them great attention, keeping, nevertheless, at a respectful distance. Les'inferest was shown also by the engineering world than on the day befOre. As has been 'stated already, the number of guns on the-. shore was 'four---In eighty-pOtinder, a twelve pounder, a three-pounder, and a one-pounder. The latter _ was never previously publicly exhibited, nor had its, propelling powers been tried at all. A walking stick-like instrument, it attracted the attention .of all the f,peetators, who on both days seemed anxious to- see 'it tested. f t was Motinted on .a field carriage of rather clumsy dimensions. The workniatiship, to say nothing of the beauty and the probable, nay its already-tested utility, was beautiful, without approaching, at least intentionally, the Ornamental: 'lt is a novelty in the eye of the professional world, inasmuch as it is, we believe, the first field piece of its size ever manufactured. The three-pounder is something, but not much, larger, although the carriage, as in the former case, is much heavier than that to which' marching armies have hitherto been accustomed. Both ate riot probably such as the umnilitary reader might suppose, for instead of - being short and thick, they arc long, and—if armanients can- be—elegant. The twelve-pounder is a much more formidable looking instrument, combining apparent great strength "with beatty of manufacture in a still greater,degree than its two compfitilans i whilst the eighty-pounder excels . the whole in every respect, and is.. such an arm as even those who have smelt powder more than once or twice on the battle-field might well .shudder at. Formed on- the same principle, and in the Game manner as the other three pieces, it is, of course, much larger in size, enormously snore formidable in appearance, very difficult to Manage, and ? as a matter of course, will be tremendously more destittetive t o batteries, ships, and to human life, when political neces sity calls - its awe-inspiring powers into practice. The Work, on the whole, has been artistically accomplished, and forms another - triumph in science and in art of the sister titY—Manehester. To the casual observer, however, its size, though gredi, would not portray its actual strength and its power of destruction for the reason that the can non used at. present in land and naval warfare; although their powers are much smallar, are huge in compari son with it, and as a natural consequence not so ea s il y moved from place to place by the artillerymen. It i s 62 cwt. ; the eighty-pounders used by the Government are 64 cwt. It.is temporarily mounted on an old car riage which formerly belonged to a ship of war. The twelve-pounder weighs 12 cwt. The difference between it and the cammon cannon, and the Arm strong giM, is hist this : The common cannon has a smooth bore, and is leaded at the mtnizle ; the Arm strong is grooved to a certain point iii thtt gun, and is loaded at the breech, which screws off at pleasure. 'the Whitworth is grooved throughout, but in a dissimilar manner, and the breech and chamber hang on hinges. Further, the Whitworth - will tarry any of shot or shell, whilst the Armstrong will- carry only a parti culai-quifititY. Then; again, they are not loaded in the same way ; and the made in 3/hicirtheY ian'be rendered useless in case of necessity differs, and is in the Whitworth extremely easy, simple; and sure. Still, frcirif What we heard and saw yesterday, there are many minor faults attached to the Whitworth. In the first place ; the car riages are too heavy and unmanageable, and must, it is said, be replaced by lighter and more servieeable Ones. The amliplaiiits on this sem made by.men in charge of the guns were nunierthia, - and their reasoning in many instances rational. The soresis ti . Ithicli the desired elevation is obtained are too low down ; in reach ing them the gunner has to bend inconveniently; and perhaps to this cause may, be due the occasionally great • deviation of the shot from the lin e ,of fire. Some scientific gentlemen directed attention to a quantity of oily matter which, after n shot had' W u fired, appeared 6 issue from between the plates at the muzzle of the eighty-pounder. TWO cause is not known.. Some remarked that such matter- oozed from , all newly-constructed cannon; others suggested that it wits - a' gaseous vapour which, by the force of the powder had been driven through the iron into the .position in which it Wag discovered ; a third observed that it might hive been caused by the powder from withont, as it passed into thank_ with endrnioditelocity. But the Most rational view of the case seems to be that a small quantity of oil had somehow or other been secreted between the layers of plates, forming the gun, at the muzile, and that it was driven out by the expansion of the iron, caused by the heat generated in firing. Whatever it is, or wherever it comes from, there is no importance attaChed to its presence by those who knOw most about such matters. The experiments conducted yesterday were shinier to those which were made on Wednesday. Fifteen shots were fired from the big gun in the morning. The piece was loaded; the gunner pulled a string, a loud report and a Cloud of strioke ensued, and the shot whizzed away at a tremendous tate through the air. In a second or two a cloud of sand arose in the distance; then a second, then a third, then a fourth, and now and again it grazed the waters of the channel, rose and dipped age* then skipped along the deep like a small flat stone thrown by a boy from the shore. AU this rico chetting was beautiful and terrible. One of these huge bolt-like projectiles would have pierced the side of the proudest vessel, or have tumbled a ton or two of the masonry of the strongest citadel in Europe, had it been directed against it. For the first time the one-pounder was tested, and it creditably sustained its inventor's fame. The results attained were like those of the day before ; but a table of the ranges cannot be published as yet, lest errors should creep into them. We believe that the party who copied the list on 'Wednesday last did it incorrectly. Immediately they have been arranged they will be made public. At a late hour last night the officials had not finally made up their minds as to whether or not it was desira ble to continue the experiments any further. At all events, only a shot or two from the eighty-pounder, at an elevation of ten degrees, and a few from the twelve-pounder, at an elevation of thirty-five degrees, will be fired. Mr. Whitworth, hoWever, will make further experiments with an entirely new kind of shot. We may' add that enconiums: were showered on Mr. Whitworth and his gun by the scientific gentlemen pre sent, and the general public. The ultimate result of the experiments will doubtless be made known officially in a short tine. The Dundee Advertiser says there is a rumour that £15,00 0 has been put down by one of oar merchant princes for the purchase of a people's park in Dundee. The Drury Lane performance on Wednesday •in aid of the fund for the family of the late Mr. Robert Brough, appears to have been, as we rejoice to observe, successful in every respect. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. (FROM OUR OWN' eORRESPONI),ENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening, July 26, 1860. If there be not yet an actual diplomatic con flict between the representatives of the Courts of St. James and the Tuileries, it seems evident that no tonsiderable Modification has yet been reached of the Mieekideitetanding between the two Cabi nets. The Emperor, who Was - to have left this, for the camp at Chalons, yesterday morning, . changed his intention, and summoned his Min isters to meet him in council at St. Cloud, in the course of the afternoon. According to some accounts, the question to be submitted for their consideration \vas considered by his Majesty sufficiently grave to induce him to call also to his aid the members of his Privy Council. The result of these deliberations has not yet transpired, but the general opinion seems to be that the Emperor is quite decided not to paelse in his plans, not withstanding the opposition of the Porte and the distrust of the British Government, and that his Minister for Foreign AiLirs has received instruc tions to submit a statement of the facts of the case, and of the reasons which have influenced the Imperial Government in its determination to dispatch a large military force to Syria. Mean while; there can be little doubt of the views which Ruseia entertains with respect to this question, or as to tile athotint of support which the policy of Napoleon M. will receive in that quarter, but the course which will be taken by Prussia and Austria remains yet to be seen; it has, however, doubtless by this time been decided upon. The subject must of course have occupied no small share in the friendly con versations which took place between the Prince Regent and the Emperor Joseph, this evening at atvd the !telegraph would not fail to have informed these tee(' illustrious represen tatives of Fatherland, th it the die: of busy pre paration for the departure of the French troops still continues incessant ; and there is further reason to believe that the Emperor Napo. f.lcon sent a special despatch to Tceplitz, an nouncing the decision at which he had arrived. In regard to this interview, there can be no doubt whatever that the initiative in bringing it abOut was taken by Austria. The Austrian journals assert that the first overture was made in a letter addressed by the Prince Regent to the Emperor Francis Joseph at the close of the Baden meeting, but this statement has received the tiled formal contradiction, and it has been explained that the letter in question merely con tained a statement of what took place at that meeting. A props of the Syrian question, a rumour was extensively circulated here last night and this morning, that the English Cabinet was by no means of one mind on the subject— that Lord Palmerston and the majority of his colleagues were in favour of supporting the views of the Porte, whilst Lord John Russell and the liberal minority in the Ministry were disposed to allow France to proceed with its plans of inter vention, subject to the superintendence of the other European powers. The 3ronitezer of to-day makes no sign whatever, one way or the other. In a letter from Palermo, dated the 17th inst., some very interesting details are given regarding the equipment of the force which Garibaldi has 1 with him, and which was, it was supposed, to act against Messina. The whole of the tailors of the city had been incessantly employed for three days in making white, red, and grey blouses for the use of the members of the various corps; 10,000 pairs of shoes were turned out in eight days by the cobblers, and in every house the people are busy in making shirts and linen trousers. Palermo was, in fact, wholly occupied in providing the soldiers of Garibaldi with every possible necessary for a summer campaign. As for arms and war nzateriel, there is nothing want ing ; the last steamer which came from Genoa brought as many sabres, revolvers, and muskets, as the Dictator stood in need of. The writer of the letter visited the arsenal on the previous day, and found more than 600 men engaged in repair ing,-cleaning, and greasing tic arms, previous to their distribution, and he zooms to have considered it impossible that nothing more than an attack en Messina was contemplated, especially as the troops who had been told off for that ser vice amounted to not less than 15,000 men. It is added that the excitement in Palermo, in presence of a state of things so novel, is immense. The greatest confidence is expressed in the success of the expedition, but the departure of Garibaldi was viewed with a certain degree of regret, as he had, by his energy and firmness, succeeded in inspiring the chiefs of the different parties with a wholesome dread of him ; and, unfortunately, there appears to have been no one to whom he could, with any degree of confidence, entrust his authority in his absence. Volunteers from Italy, Malta, and Constantinople continue to arrive in great numbers. I gather from other sources, that in different parts of the island disorders have several times broken out, which have required the intervention of an armed force for their suppression ; and that the state of the finances forms one of the 'greatest causes of anxiety to the new g overnment. The treasure found at Palermo was soon exhausted. The Sicilians do not shew themselves lavish of their money, and yet the wants'of the treasury daily increase, for4besides the incessant purchases o f arms, ammunition, &c.,a very large sum has been required for the maintenance and equipment of the numerous volunteers. The loan that was expected from Bertani seems quite to have fallen through, and the bankers of Milan and Turin decline to advance any money without the pre vious guarantee of the Sardinian Government, which is not forthcoming. It was this state of things which forced Garibaldi to promulgate the decree, imposing a tax of 2 per cent. upon the ecclesiastical property of the island. Among other arrivals of materiel aid at Genoa for Gari baldi, I see mentioned, that of the steamer Comtesse de Fregville, from Brest, having on board 190 cannon. A sailing vessel has also arrived from Toulon, laden with , cannon ; and another with about 70 tons of poYeder. The members of the Jewish persuasion are evincing as usual great liberality in' contributing to the relief of the Christian populations in Syria. The Anii'de la .Religion of Bourdeaux states that the Grand Rabbi of the Israelites in that city, accompanied bythe members of the consistory, had presented themselves at the Archiepiscopal Pal ace and placed 'in' the hand of Cardinal Donnet, the proceedeef a collection made among the Jews , of Bourdeaux for the above object. Workmen are still busily engaged in carrying out the plans of the new buildings at the Tui leries.; they are about to proceed with the re building of that portion of them n ear the quay, which is to c ontain the first military division. The ques tion is still being stron g ly d e b a t e d w hether the Theatre Francais should not be erected in one of th e wings of the new p a l ace . An explosion of a very extraordinary kind took p l a ce late yesterday aft e r noo n ; at the top of the Alma Bridge, near the spot Where .it .abuts on the Rue Jean Goujon. The principaleon duit p i p e b y which the fire eng i ne a t Challlntis supplied with water, and which passes under the Cours-la-Reine, burst all . of a sudden. The earth and s t ones which, to the depth of about two metres, cover the pipe, were hurled ititci- the air with a force resembling that of a Mine when explod e d. A n immense body of water immediately spurted up as high as the top of the trees, but after a few subsided, an d th e wa t er minutes this first jetil'eati continued for some time to bubble up above the ground, fortunately without any worse result than the damage done to the road. No one, happily, was injured. The agitation which yesterday pervaded on the much calm e d d own t o -d a y.

(BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE. PARIS, July 26. The Conefitutionnet has an article, signed by M. Grandguillot, congratulating the London. Times on the leading article on Syria, published in ths.t, journal yesterday, The language of the Times, says M. Grandguillot, seems to be in aecordinee with British feeling, and, to express the real policy at the Foreign Office. The Cofigitntionnd also says, the expeditioc which France has heed preparing for the last three days with marvellous ttspatch, will, as a matter of necessity, be carried out. The early departure of our troops may be expected. The part of France will be rather that of occupatidd than intervention. We are about to give our support to Turkey to assist in re pressing disorders of the Turkish Empire. The Eastern Question, as it at present stands, does not appear to be susceptible of dividing Europe, but, on the contrary, of uniting the European powers for the defence of interests and principles which impose the same obligations on all the Christian States. Advices from Toulon state that the thiril pre= parations are still being actively carried on. THE BOURSE. PARIS, July 25. 3 Fan.—The Bourse has been Inn and animated. Rentes closed at 68f. 20c.,0r 16 cents higher than yesterday, PRUSSIA, BERLIN, June 26.

The Emperor woie the Prussian military uniform, and the decoration of the Order of the .Black Eagle. The Prince Regent wore the, Austrian uniform, and the decoration of the Order of St. Stephen. Count R.'echherg was not pre sent at the terminus. SARDINIA. TURIN, July 26. The object of the mission of the Marquis de Is Greca is to bring about a compromise by which the King of Naples would accept the result of universal suffrage in Sicily should the Western Powers guarantee the integrity of his Majesty's dominions on the mainland, and prevent. Gari baldi from effecting a landing there. ROME AND GARIBALDI. A letter in the Cologne Gazette states that the Pope has refused to adopt any of the measures recommended by the French Minister, and has declared, if these changes are forced on him, he will abandon his States. It is feared that Garibaldi may suddenly appear on the Papal territory. The rumour that he had embarked with a strong force has increased the alarm of the Roman authorities. All the intelligence from Rome, in the German journals, conrms the accounts of the violent conduct of the Irish military immigrants. They are a cause of the utmost perplexity. 'For the sake of peace their pay was lately increased. They complain.of the contempt with which they .are re s exaeaand treated by the Italian. The letter in the Cologne Gazette says the appearance of Garibaldi on the coast would_ probably dissolve the Papal army without a battle. The Patric of this evening says that it is asserted that General Goyon will not leave Rome. MORE MASSACRES IN SYRIA. MARSEILLES, July 26. Letters from Constantinople announce that freak violences have been perpetrated at Aleppo, Orfa, and other places in Asia. It has again been con firmed that the Turkish soldiers took part in the massacres. The Christian Carinacam of the Lebanon, his council, and some of the principal inhabitants, had signed a declaration of peace, in which, however, the renunciation of any claim for indemnity was not mentioned. After having discussed this act, they went, by order of the Muchir of Saida and of Turkish authorities, to confer with the chiefs of the Druses. No news, however, has been received of the thousands of Christians who are surrounded at Thesrouan. PARIS, July 26. It is stated that the assent of the Porte to a European intervention in Syria has arrived here. The other powers have likewise acceded. It is said that England will despatch none but na va l forces to Syria, and that the French expeditionary corps will soon receive orders to embark. The representatives of the five great powers were to have signed the convention to-day, for regulating the expedition. SICILY. FIGHTING BEFORE MESSINA• Telegraphic despatches have been received, dated the 17th inst., whi c h state that there had been three engagements near Messina. In the first and second Garibaldi's forces suffered severely. In the third the fight lasted more than two hours, with a well-maintained fire. The Royalists had bombs and ea,wl o ° , with positi ons w e ll c h osen . Two charges with the bay one t, on th e par t o f Garibal e s wen, under General Medici, decided the day. The enemy retired to Milazzo. Th e latest news received from Naples says that :be s t a te of things was more satisfactory. NAPLES, July 26. The statement that the whole of Sicily had been evacuated by the Neapolitan troops is premature. Messina is still held by the Neapolitans. EVENTS IN ITALY. PALERMO (via Genoa), July 24. In the engagements before Milazzo, on the 16th and 17th inst., the - Neapolitans had 330 put hors de combat. Garibaldi attacked the town of Milazzo on the 20th inst. with the bayonet, and after a desperate conflict the Neapolitans with drew to the citadel. Depretis, the Sardinian agent, arrived at Palermo on the 21st inst. He proceeded at once to the camp. Siritori assumed the Dictatorship during the short absence of Garibaldi. Garibaldi, before leaving, published a decree ordering that all the acts of the Government should be performed in the name of Victor Emmanuel, King of Italy. THE ROYAL CONFERENCE. TCEPLITZ, July 26. The two Sovereigns were cheered by crowds yesterday evening. They afterwards appeared at Count Clary's palace and expressed their thanks. This morning the Prussian inhabitants were received by the Prince Regent, who, in his reply to an address presented by them, said that he intended to keep the path which he had chosen for the welfare of Prussia, Germany, and Europe. To-day a grand ga l a dinner took place at the residence of the Emperor. To-day the Emperor paid a visit to the Prince Regent,. which lasted an hour and a-half. Count Rechberg afterwards had a long audience of the Prince Regent, which was followed by a con ference between Baron Von Solaleinitz and Count
