New Orleans In the LONDON STOCK MARKLT to day the intelligence from the Continent relatiVe to the threatening attitude of Austria towards the national movement in Italy, caused a fresh fall of fully per cent. in English Funds. The market at the close was rather firmer than at an earlier period of the day, but Console were still .qUoted , , from ito per cent. lower than yesterday after- noon. The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money „ Account 932- 3 Exchequer Bills 3 6 • Bank Stock Three per Cents 931 it,. Next Account The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : It appears from the statements made in the House of Commons, last night; by Sir Charles Wood, that the immediate deficiency in the Indian treasury is to be met by means of the current balances, and by payments on account of the capital of the railway carnpanies. The funds, accordingly, showed dulness. Consols closed about 1-16 per cent. lower than yesterday. The dis count market was less easy. The business at the Bank was to a fair extent. The forleign exchanges were gene rally firm ; 'the only alteration worthy of notice was a decided movement against Austrian.—Daily News. Consols opened with dulness at the quotation of yes terday, and subsequently experienced a decline, the accounts from Paris showing continued heaviness. No gold transactions took place, hut the demand for the Continent continues active. Advices from Alexandria announce that the Egyptian Government has just obtained a loan of £809,000 from Paris, the rate of interest to he 6 . per cent. The loan bang given without any security strengthens an opinion that the supply is obtained from the Emperor Napoleon, who will thus, to a certain extent, increase a power over the Viceroy which had already become considerable, owing eto the indiscreet commitments of his Highness to the Suez canal.—Times. The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day opened flat, the account proving very " bullish" and contangoes heavy.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1860. NEWS OF THE DAY. At the . sitting of the House of Conamons, yesterday afternoon, the Home Secretary, in the course of a dis cussion on the vote for the expenses of prosecutionS at assizes and quarter sessions, took an opportunity of justifying the conduct of Mr, Justice Blackburn. at Guildford ; and, at a subseqUent peried of the pro ceedings, the right hon. gentleman, in reply to objections stated to the amount of the vote for police, paid a warm compliment to that force in the metropolis. To-day, on going into ; Committee of,.Supply on Education , Esti mates relating to Ireland, Mr. Scully will move, "That, in the opinion of this House, all funds_ provided by l'ariiament' for public education in Ireland should, be so administered as to banish all just suspicion of prose lytism from the national system, and conciliate cordial co-operation front clergy and laity of all religious deno minations." . • , , , . The question which every one has been asking him self for some timebick,regarding the state of affairs in Italy, is, not whether that country is'abeet to be the scene of another struggle,.More deadly even than that which was closed at Villafranca, but when, and between what ,powers,he war is to break. out. -Nobody, there fore,.will be surprised to learn that intelligence has\ now been received from various parts of the Continent, con firmatory, to some extent; of the worst apprehensions of the immediate approach, if not of the actual fact, of a - rupture between the Cabinets of Vienna and Turin, and of the publication of a declaration of war—a conditional oae, no doubt—by Austria against Sardinia. It is stated -that the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count de Rechberg, has addressed a note to M. Cavour, in which, after recapitulating events which, in his opinion, establiSh the complicity of the Sardinian Government with Gari 7 baldi, he concludes by declaring in the most formal manner, that if Garibaldi or his followers make a denionstra •tion Upon the continental possessions of the Neapolitan monarchy, Austria will consider that fact as a casys MI I on the part of Piedmont. Several circumstances are mentioned, some of which are, alluded to by our Paris correspondent, .as strengthening the persuasion that Sar dinia feels that she cannot longer avoid the "coming conflict. The orders which have been given by the Pied montese Government.for increasing the fortifications other newly acquired province of Bologna, thimighwhich itis said Austria declares she will pass for the defence of the NeaPo litan monarchy, are specially dwelt upon. The Journal ife4 Dehats of yesterday, which believes this serious nears, . observes regarding it, that this armed intervention of Austria would be an infringement of the principle of non-intervention adopted by France and England, and seems to hint,, that as these two Powers have reciprocally engaged to abstain from interference in Italy themselves, they will not allow of any other foreign intervention. The •' _Plante of last evening is also assured that the statement of Gaunt Cavout having received a note of this nature from.the Austrian Minister, is correct; but the version which this journal gives of the contents of the document is somewhat different. According to the Palrie,." the Austrian government has declared that if Garibaldi takes 'posSession of the kingdom of Naples, and organises there, as he has announced in his proclamations, an expedition ' against the Austrian' possessions of the Adriatic, it will not wait for thnattack of which 'it knows it is to be the object, but will hasten to attack the Gari baldians upon whatever point of her states on the main land their troops may be; found." The Opinion, of Turin, however, declares that no note has been sent by Austria to Piedmont relative to an' intervention in Italy in case Garibaldi should disembark on the Neapolitan coast, but it does not say whether any communication of the'kind has been received from Austria through any' other channel: Prebably we should be nearest the - truth if we concluded that Austria, feeling herself some what refreshed by the results of the Tceplitz intervie4, has desired her representative at the Court . of Naples to make to • the representative of Piedmont at ; that court, a communication of her views respecting the threatened last movements. 9f Garibaldi, with per mission to the Neapolitan Government to make itself acquainted with the contents, and to make what use of them it pleased, which the latter Government is now 'doing. In short, the menace is chiefly due to a diplo matic source; and has originated in' those circles. ! We no not believe that Austria has yet. taken any step in volving the . renunciation by her of the " political non interference" to which she was shut up by the peace of Villafrauca, nor that she contemplates doing so; but most certainly she will not hesitate to repel energetically any attack on her own territory. If we are to believe a Trieste telegram, Garibaldi's attack upon A us t r i a i s to be made on thogwatian cAasts,, with the view of recruiting his army from among, the dfsaireeted inhabitants of those districts, but this requires confirmation.

Mr. - Samuel Gurney, M.P., introduced the deputation, and Tillett explained the manner in which signatures had been obtained, not as stated in the House, impro perly, and by children, or by the servants of the Crown, but with the greatest caution. It had,' he said, been rumoured that the Commissioners of Works had autho rised Crown officers to :circulate bills in the park, but that,was net the case, as the Commissioner requested the men to be withdrawn, they having gone into the park without authority from' the Coriiiniisioner.

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON deserves the best thanks of the public, and the warmest gratitude of the poor and friendless youth infesting---all- our great communities, for the earnest appeal he made to the Government on Tuesday evening, on b e h a lf of Industrial and Ragged Schools,;-in making. which he was ably seconded by a shrewd and intelligent:Liberal—Mr. BLACK, the member for Edinburgh: - His object was to obtain some modification in the regulations under which assistance is now given to that peculiar and interesting branch of the education of the lower classes; and to urge upon the 'Tense of Commons and the GoVernMent, that- these • schools do not . - receive from Parliament the degree of aid 'to which they are fairly and legitimately entitled; and although- on a division the amendment was lost, there can be little doubt that the discussion of the subject *ill yet tend to pc:pat the cause of 'education among the poor. $' . • • The young Arabs of the town, or vagrants, the offspring of, the poverty-stricken, and of thieves, prostitutes, and prisoners, consti tute the great head-fountain of the streani Which continually flows into and fills our prisons. Our criminal calendars, as We poirled out yesterday, testify to the fact that.the vast proportion of the prisoners brought, before our assize court s , are ' destitute of the very elements of education. Here then. we have plainly' before us the great source' of the vast and ever Vowing mass of crime under which society groans, if We would check that. - terrible curse we must at once grapp'e with it in its . origin,- Prevention is easier and better than 'cure: What avails it to .seize the : grown-up offenders and imprison, transport, or exe cu t e t h em while - we leave untouched the hotbed in which the 4 reared, and in due . criminal is eng - etic - lered and , time sent forth to fill lip every- ,vacancy made by .the periodical jail deliveries.? It is all very! well to say that the :legislature gr4nts some eight hundred thousand a'ycar for educational purpoSes, but tell • us how much of that' Sum.' renehei the class which most needs it. Nothing worth merit on-', -,••• ing-4or who will say, that five or six thousLd a year for such a purpose is anything better- than a mockery. It comes to this, then, that we are spending eight hundred -theiusq,nd a -year 'in edupating those who are able to procure education for themselves, and little or nothing on those : who are helpless. In an economical point of view this is the height of folly, the consequence of which maybe estimated in poundS sterling by casting up the enormous cost of our crirniiialsysiern. We find, for instance, from a recentereturnAhat the annual average cost of transporting convicts to West Australia is a hundred - and. eighty,. 'nine - thousand pounds, or at the rate of a hundred and sixty-three poung'iier 'head, in, addition to the expense of imprisonment and trial at home. Thus the Goverument , will scarcely . • give a; shilling for-Ragged Schools, but is quite ready to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds in trying, convicting„ and punishing those neglected children, whed, as almost inevitably happens, they have fallen into crime. Setting aside every con sideration of charity and, benevolence, and look ing at the question as one of mere public policy, is it not clearly the bounden duty of the Govern ment to _reconsider the course it has adopted, and . very largely to increase the giants to Raged Schools as the only instrumentality adapted to meet the wants of hordes of destitute: and neglected _children. The rule of the Education Committee of Council is that the grants shall be limited to the education of the children of those who are able to support , themselves by manual labour. - Below this class, however, there are hundreds of thousands of. children who are so steeped.in poverty and wretchedness that unless some kind hand is stretched out to save them, . they must sink into degradation and crime. Is it unreasonable to demand that these unhappy children, whose sad fate is their misfor-- tune: rather than their fault, and ...who have to battle with hunger, cold, and nakedness, shall have their share of the . crumbs that fall from the sumptuous table of the enormous educa tional grant of eight hundred thousand a year. : Their miserable lot is such that,. if left to them selves and unassisted, they can - scarcely- prevent, themselves from falling into vicious courses. Moreover, these vagrant and neglected 'ehildren spread aronnd them the seeds of contamination, disease, and death„and s inlliet another species of penalty upon the 'Community that is dea.f.to_ . . their cries for help. These, Ragged Schools, it has been well observed, are not a mere romantic idea, - but a beneficent fact. The case. of Edinburgh may serve as an illustration of what has been accom plished by these schools wherever instituted, and serve as an indication of how much more might he attained by efficient snppert. Twelve ; years ago the northern capital was notoriously infested with hosts of juvenile vagrants.' „In spite of every effort to suppress them by proclarnatiOn, admonition, and punishment of various degrees; the evil grew worse and worse, and it was not until some benevolent persons,—taking the hint from :Mr. JAMES H. WILSON, of Aber deen, the originator of what has attained universal celebrity ,as Sheriff WATSON'S Rag ged School—the very first of the kind— established a similar institution in Edinburgh, —immediately after which an -improvement became visible. The per-centage of juvenile prisoners in Edinburgh Gaol in 1848 was five; in 1849, the • year after the Ragged School was established, it was reduced td three ; and in 1850 it became, as it is at present, only one and . a small fraction. In the same way the number of juvenile prisoners between fourteen and sixteen years of age was gradually reduced froM nearly six hundred, in 1848, to little more than a hundred in 1859,., Since that institution has- .been .in operation in. that city,-it ,has preserved from ruin, and sent out into the world. to earn an honest livelihood, not less than a thousand children. These facts are incontrovertible and irresistible,—facts which we dare- not, ignore or treat indifferently, save at the peril of our -very. existence as a civilised people. What has been accomplished in Edin burgh and elsewhere may also be overtaken in Liverpool, than which we know no_ toWn so much in want .of a greatly more extended system•of 'ragged tichiiolS.' If is chFring to ob serve that the importance of this subject is being more and more felt and ,given effect to in this ,great town.. Sir ,ToiLN PAKINGTON, in his noble effort in behalf of these invaluable institutions, is kent worthily in countenance by his great political chief, Lord DERBY, who with his usual kindness and. attention to the peopl6 of Liverpool, leaves . ' London this week for the purpose of laying, the foundation stone of a new Ragged School and Church at Kirkdale, in the promotion of Which he has taken' the liveliest and most substantial interest. The occasion will no doubt be a most interesting' one, very 'proper arrano•e ments having been made for the accommodation of a large number of spectators, as may be learned' from another column: The - , movemeAt, however, Ought not . to be left entirely to individual effort. Voliintary 'contributions 'lhave been found too uncertain, and altogether ineffi*t fOr its, proper maintenance ; and even were it otherwise, the burthen ought to be mado to fall equally upon all. Certainly it is not to be tolerated that while the State -continues to spend so large a sum ,under the name of cducation i: an adequate share of the grant shall be withheld froth that class of schools which has the first and best. claim ,for• public aid. FOREIGN. INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) WEDNESDAY, August 15. Theresis now great. reason to believe that the report that M. de Rechberg has announced to the Cabinet of Turin that his Government would consider itself justified in interfering at once, by sending an armed force into Southern Italy,-pro vided -Garibaldi actually landed id Calabria, is correct. It is further said that Austria is determined at once to anticipate 'Garibaldi's threatened attack -on her • Venetian provinces, and that her preparations for an irlimediate war with Sardinia are already; made, and . may be announced at. any moment; also, that these intentions and preparations have been formally communicated to the Emperor Napoleon, who' lost not a moment in sending Colonel Franco niere to Turin with an letter to Victor Emmanuel counselling prudence, and begging him to, mind,what he .was about,. • .As the report of the landing of .the Garibaldians in force at Reggio has been confirmed; it will easily be seen what a grave position affairs have now assumed.. Victor Emmanuel has unquestiOnably'a most dif ficult part to play, and it will require all the astuteness oftount CavoUr to prevent kmisear- , riage of the role which has devolved upon him.: One of the suggestione i sa l id to have heel made by tiiis able. Minister with this view is, thai the. King. of Naples should allow his capital to be occupied by a body of Piedurontese troops, in order to 'defend it from Garibaldi; but' this is going rather too far. , The visit of M. Mauna to this city has probably had something to do, with the letter which the French *government has sent to Victor Emmanuel. It is positively stated by a Tiffin Correspondent that the Cabinet of Turin was not aware of the departure of M. Maunanntil after he had left ; nor is it .known in the latter city how long M. Winspeare intended to remain. ' One thing, however, is'eertain, that the yied-, moutese Government fully' expects to be imme diately engaged in' another deadly struggle with The greatest anxiety and the utmost haste are being displayed in hurry in g on the works for the fortification. of Bologna; and this circumstance, and the calling out o f the second reser.v.e,llis act failed 'todiciter. public attention in the most lively ,manner, Another account froM•Turin suggests that it is in potisequence of his•having received a hint on the subject of -the contents. of Count de Rcchberg's warlike commu nication, that Bertami has, made a sudden visit to Sicily, and that the same cause has delayed Gari baldi so long :in titcre• • But the Dictator has, obviously advanced much too far to retreat, and I doubt whether it would be possible to stop him even were the Sardinian Government to issue .(as it is said it intends forthwith to . .do) a formal disavowal of all connection with his proposed - expedition; against the mainland. • Th e • 01 - iinion Yationale - States - that it has received some additional information respecting the recent alleged , visit of Garibaldi to Naples: it even' says that it has reason to' believe that it :was General Cosenz, and riot the Dictator him self,, who was in the vicinity of that pity, . he -having , gone thither whilst he• was recovering from a.wound which he had, receive d at Milazzo ; but that th e genera l h a d certainly an interview With the heads of the secret committee. There has been, it seems, a fresh modification i of the ministerial arrangements at Palermo: M. Crispi has been placed at the head of the depart ment of the interior and of public safety, the most important position of all in present circum stances; General Paterno goes to the War-office. But the most gratifying piece of news is, that M. Depret, the eh it Dictator in the absence of Garibaldi,' has just proclaimed, amidst the most enthusiastic rejoicings of the people, the Sar dinian constitutional statutes as the fundamentaL law of Sicily. The new law, however, will not be put in force until the new regime is thoroughly consolidated, and the object of the revolution finally attained; that is to say, until all obstruction& shall have been removed to its satisfactory operation: At Naples, the Central Committee which con tinues its secret sittings, has secretly circulated a proclamation, warning the inhabitants against putting any trust in the new Government. It thus concludes :—" The only course to follow, dear fellow-citizens, is to finish matters once for all, for ever to be done with the dynasty, and to join heart and hand with the people who wish to escape, and who will soon escape, from present uncertainty. General Garibaldi Ilas told you that you are brave ; he will conduct you to glory, and assure your condition for the future. Have cou rage; and unite yourselves to the people. Let us destroy these foreigners who are suckirlg out the best part of our blood, and we shall all become the free children of this beloved country." The committee have also denied the reports of dissen sion among them, and have entreated all who are friendly to their cause to abstain, in the mean time, from "every demonstration, however inno cent and lawful, as they would only lead to pro- vocation." The latest advices received here from Syria report the arrival of the French Consul, M. de Cha,try Lafosse, at Aleppo, on. the 29th, on his return from leave of absence. At_ that date Aleppo was tranquil, but assassinations in that neighbourhood. had not ceased to be committed almost every day. The Governor of the city, at the instance of the Consrls, had written to Fuad Pasha demanding reinforcements. General Hautpoul has been promoted to the rank of General of Division ; M. Borenee, the French Minister at Athens, is to be the French Commissioner at Constantinople; M. Norikoff is to represent Russia, and Lord Dufferin, England. Austria and Prussia have " not yet made any nominations. M. de Lesseps has just' arrived from Egypt. The rumours as to the unsatisfactory state of matters in Algeria are revived. Private letters say that continued fighting goes on on the coast of Philipville and Constantine, between the Arabs and the troops under 'the command of General Desracy. The Empress is expected this week at St. Cloud, and the Emperor, I believe, returned to-day. M. Le Conturier, the writer of the scientific articles in the'lllanitear and the Pays, is included, in the new appointments to the Legion of Honour, as well as M. de Champagnac and M. itronsart, both connected with the press. There is a new work published by M. de Montalembert, in two volumes. It is called the Monks of the East," and has been announced for a long time. The disquieting rumours which agitated the Bourse on Monday continued yesterday, but their vagueness and uncertainty had the effect in the later part of the day of leading to a return of the paucity of transactions previously experienced.for some time past. The Threes did not fall. below 68f. ac. LATEST NEWS. THE IRISH MERCENARIES AT TOLENTINO. Although several papers continue almost daily to announce the return of large numbers of these deluded men, it appears that there are still some of them roving about different parts of Italy. A .letter from Florence, dated the 9th inst., gives fresh details.of excesses committed by them, on their march from Maccrata to Rome, at Tolcntino. The young and beautiful daughter of a lodging- . house keeper in that town was being made the subject .of the most infamous violence by these mercenaries when, at the cries she uttered in try ing to make her escape from them, the priest who had charge of the wretches ran t' her aid ; so far, however, from paying any attention to his remonstrances, they seized hold of him by the collar, and having taken the chain from the neck of the house-dog, they put it round the neck of the priest, and in that manner dragged him about, striking him at the same time right and left. Another disturbance took place between theni and some of the:citizens in a café, and in the scuffle that followed, two of the Irish were so severely injured that they had to be. sent to the hospital. These facts have also been communi- - cated to the Opinione Natior,ale, at Turin. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE.

Prince Metternich and, Count Kisseleff will immediately afterwards quit Paris on leave. Prince Metternich will proceed to his estate in Bohemia, where he will remain during the jour ney of the Emperor of the French. The advantage to France of having a tele graphic cable laid down between her own coasts and those of the United States is pointed out by the. Constitutionnel in an able article, in which it says the company' engages, for the guarantee of a minimum revenue of £40,000 during fifty years, tolay. down, within three years, a submarine electric telegraph between the coasts of France and the United States, with a station at New fotindland, and another, if thought desiable, in one of the Azores. Other lines may be added if deemed necessary, and on the same conditions. THE' FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, August 15' The Bourse was c l os ed .to- d ay i n consequence of the Napoleon fetes. AUSTRIA.

The attempts of the crew of the steamer to board were however ,repulsed, and the Neapolitan frigates are pursuing the aggressor.

GENOA, Aug. 15. The Genoa journals publish despatches announe ing the unopposed disembarkation of Garibaldi with 8,000 men near Reggio, on the night of the 10th instant.

PROSPECT OF WAR. The Independance Beige, of the 15th instant, confirms the announcement that Count Real berg had addressed a .circular note to Count Cavour. The Debats of yesterday, in commenting on this news, observes that the armed intervention of Austria would be an infringement of the prin ciple of non-intervention adopted by France and England. Austria ought to know, says the Debats, that the two Western Powers, in proclaiming this principle, are equally agreed to ensure its appli cation in . the largest and most absolute sense, since they have reciprocally engaged not only to abstain from interference themselves, but also to suffer no fo re i gn i n tervention in It a l y . The Nationale contains the following important statement :—Our Government is at this moment pushing on the most extraordinary armaments, to protect the country against the possible aggres sions of a neighbouring p ow e r w hi c h b ecome s every day. This power has, more menacing within the last few days, addressed an important note to 'our Government, the contents of which will very soon be made public.
