Freights are improving, and tonnage in better demand for India, particularly to Calcutta for Salt, for which 42s is freely paid without consign ment. For China the rates are firm, and several vessels have been chartered this week at our quotations. Homewards from the Rice ports there is a good. inquiry for ships at an advance of 5s per ton on former rates ; and 82s 6d is offering for Teak from Moulmain. From Calcutta and Bombay the freights are unchanged, and merchants here are 'not desirous of taking ships. Timber freights from Quebec have improved, and ships are much wanted. To U. S. ports rates this week have barely been maintained, atad rather lower rates to New York have been accepsed ; but from the very moderate supply of tonnage on the way we look for advanced rates to be paid shortly.

In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day the Funds were steady at Saturday's closing quotations, but little business was done. The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money . . . • . . „ Account Exchequer Bills Bank Stock Three per Cents _ 934 Next Account The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : The funds were weaker; a relapse of kto 3-la per cent. was finally established. A good deal of attention wa6excited by the new pecuniary demand put forward yesterday evening by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The share markets were likewise flat. No bullion operations occurred at the Bank. American railway securities continue very firm. The aggregate of the gold received during the past week, inclusive of the sum announced this day, is £69o,ooo.—Daily News. The tendency to a partial recovery in the funds has again been checked by a day of incessant wind and rain, and the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take power to issue an extra million of exchequer bonds as a precaution against the contingency of a bad harvest, and the consequent falling off of the revenue, assisted the effect thus created. Consols opened at a fractional decline from last prices of yesterday, and remained with an inanimate appearance to the close. The British Trident has arrived from Melbourne with 27,000 ounces of gold worth about £208,000. The railway market has shown increased heaviness. The accounts from America eontinue highly favourable for the harvest, and conse quently also for the stock, money, and import markets. —Times. The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day was very inactive, but prices improved, and closed steady and firm at from tog per cent. higher rates. No particular feature worthy of notice.

Hemp and Pepper : Nothing reported. - _ 52 3 At the LONDON COLONIAL WOOL SALES to day, considering the large quantity of Wool dis posed of up to the present time (about 60,000 bales), the attendance of buyers was tolerably numerous, and good and fine Wools changed hands somewhat readily at full quotations. Inferior parcels found buyers at about previous rates. The LONDON TALLOW MARKET was steady to day, at the following prices :—On the spot, 51s 3d ; last three months, Ols ; Spring, Ms 9d.

In the House of Lords, last night, the second read ing of the Fortifications Bill was carried, after an ener getic statement in its support by Lord Ellenborough ; and a good deal of other important business was transacted. In the Commons, Mr. Lindsay reiterated his opi nion that the defence of the country should be entrusted to the navy, which, he maintained, was greatly superior to that of the French ; but his statements were controverted by the Admiralty Secretary. Lord Palmerston, in reply to Mr. Monsell, protested against the dismemberment of the Turkish Empire being advo cated in that House; and as regarded the disturbances in Syria, he observed, that M. Thouvenel had admitted to Lord Cowley that the Maronites had been the aggressors. A great deal of miscellaneous business was afterwards proceeded with, chiefly relating to Ireland, and the House again sat till a very late hour, as will be seen from our telegraphic summary. The different foreign journals continue, for the most part, their speculations concerning the result of the Tceplitz interview ; and the rumour as to an admonitory note having been received by Count Cavour, from the Austrian Government, has not yet quite died out. As to the former, it is now admitted on all hands that Austria does not mean to interfere by arms in Italy, unless she shall be attacked from the Adriatic or on the line of the Mincio ; and it is considered equally free from doubt that Prussia has intimated to Austria that the will not help her to defend Venice against Italian Powers merely. As to the nature of the aid which Prussia would in such circumstances afford to her ally, it is surmised that it would not go beyond de spatching an auxiliary force to the territories of Austria Proper, in order to facilitate her movements in Italy. As to the warning alleged to have been given by Austria to Piedmont ; the latest explanation proposed for our credibility is, that the intimation was a verbal one, and that it was given either through M. Brassier de St. Simon, the Prussian Envoy at Turin, or through Sir James Hudson. We are also asked to believe, with reference to the Continental combinations of the future— first, that the Emperor of the French, disappointed in the result of sundry diplomatic negotiations in which he has been engaged, is now encouraging th e Sing of Naples to resist the revolution to the utmost, and Ifs, for this purpose, no doubt, forwarded Francis 11., ere this, the programme of a coup d'etat and, secondly, that Prussia has succeeded in obtaining an understanding between Prussia, England, and Russia, by virtue of which France will not be allowed to make any encroachment on the Rhine frontier, and that this is the explanation of the great explosion of rage lately manifested by the Constitutionnel and Opinion Nationale. But we must decline assenting, till better advised. "Whilst Piedmont is proceeding so energetically with her material defences, it is asserted, on information derived from friendly as well as from hostile sources, that the personnel of her Lombardian army is dwindling away, owing to desertion. The corps in which this plague is most rife is said to be those chiefly composed of Tuscans and Romagnols, whose hatred of discipline and a soldier's life is such, that they cross the Mincio, and give themselves up to the Austrian authorities in Mantua. The extreme scantiness of the telegraphic intelligence from Naples, and the almost total absence of any news whatever of the actual whereabouts of Garibaldi at the present moment, is probably owing to the telegraphic wires having been broken,—a fact which is mentioned in a letter from Rome to one of the French papers. The writer says, " The telegraph is broken all of a sudden, nobody knows where, and there are no longer any news from Naples in the meantime." From France there are accounts that the vintage is seriously compromised, and that the harvest has been seriously injured in Champagne, the Beance, and Nor mandy ; that in Paris trade is at a stand-still, and that the most gloomy anticipations exist for the winter —so much so, that the municipality of Paris are purchasing whole blocks of houses, for the purpose of affording occupation to the operatives during the winter months in pulling them down. The rain continues to fall, and the Budget to expand. Mr. Gladstone has obtained power to add, by the issue of Exchequer Bonds, two millions to the seventy-five previously voted. One of these two millions will be wanted in November to pay off bonds on bills then coming due. The other million is asked for on account of the weather. Nothing but a miracle of sunshine can save us now from a late and scanty harvest. If we had not free-trade in corn, we should have a deficiency of food and a plenitude of destitution. With all the har vests of the world to feed us, we may yet have a rise in prices. If all nations were free-traders, there would still be a diminished demand for other articles, in con sequence of the larger sums spent on bread. This dis tnrbance of trade must, in turn, affect the revenue. Some experimental trials of a somewhat similar cha racter to those recently carried out on cur townsman's, Mr. Jones's, systemof an ;elated armour for ships' sides, have been, during the past fortnight, conducted at Portsmouth, under the supervision of Capt. R. Hewlett, C.B. The experiments on Jones's target were intended . to prove the correctness or incorrectness of a principle Those in the instances to which we are now alluding were intended to test the powers of resistance offered by plates or other forms of armour in a vertical position to round shot. The result of the firing at these plates has been that out of eleven shots, only one has fractured them, and that was caused by the very unusual circum- stance of a 'Shot haVing struck in the very centre of an PERPETUAL CURACIES.

The outer edges of the plates have bulged, as in Jones's target, from want of support. This may be noted as the first instance of any- plates placed in a vertical position resisting solid shot at 200 yards' range. The edges of the plates where they fitted with the tongue and groove stood the concussion of the shot as well, if not better, than the central portion of the plate; neither did it show the slightest inclination to bulge. Parliamentary returns, issued yesterday, show the number of houses compounded for by landlords in each of the cities and boroughs of England and Wales. The grand total in the metropolitan boroughs of houses of the annual value of £6 is 3,745 ; of £7, 3,802; of £B, 7,592; of £9, 4,865; of £lO and upwards, 51,496. The number of persons on the parliamentary register of 1859 and 1860 in respect of the compounding of such houses was 6,160. For the rest of the cities and boroughs of England and Wales the number of houses compounded for by landlords of the annual value of £6 is 80,632 ; of £7, 64,071; of £B, 26,990; of £9, 21,181 and of £lO and upwards, 35,495. The Berwick Election Commission progresses; and, as might have been anticipated, the conduct of Mr. Disraeli is being completely cleared from the aspersions attempted to be thrown upon it by the half-insane man Of the name of Brodie. Mr. Richard Cobden, in reply to a friend in this country, who forwarded the paragraph, lately published in our columns, by the Paris correspondent of an American paper, says :—" There is a good deal of the paragraph which agrees with what I have thought; but whether I expressed it in private conversation is more than I could swear to, as no one expects to be made responsible for private gossip. There ought to be the punishment of the pillory or the stocks revived for those Who ptiblish n newspapers the unguarded remarks which fall from a man in private conversation, when he frequently speaks merely to provoke a reply and keep people from going to sleep over too serious an interchange of views." With regard to the French Treaty, he remarks :—" Yon will see that in less than a couple of years all our politicians will be eager enough to claim the merit of having always been friendly to the French Treaty." "What is to be done for hot rolls for breakfast ?" as the journeymen bakers intend to abolish their night work. In Glasgow, Edinburgh, and other cities of Scotland, the bread supplied to the public is now almost entirely baked by day. In Bristol the reform is of ncent origin, but already sixty out of seventy-six master bakers have pleged themselves to day work—from five in the morning to five in the afternoon. In Cork, and other towns in Ireland, the success of the movement has been very striking. The act for preventing the adulteration of articles of food and drink came into operation on the 6th instant. Its provisions are sufficiently stringent. The accounts from the hardware districts are rather gloomy. At Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the contiguous towns, trade has slackened, the demand both for home consumption and exportation being below the average. The demand for cotton lately has been to a consider able extent speculative, and based upon no stronger foundation than the receipt of less favourable, but per haps interested, reports respecting the growing crop in America. At a time when so large a quantity of cotton is held on borrowed money, we cannot help thinking that the course of the market will be regulated princi pally by that of the money market. If money become scarce and dear, the position of the holders of cotton will become difficult. GALLAGHER, THE WIFE MURDERER. THE dismal portals of the tomb present a ghastly aspect, even when revealed to the mind's eye amid the flickering glimpses of that twilight which surrounds the expiring instincts of nature. How unutterably more repellant and hideous seem those grim gates of death, when to mental vision they are unfolded in the full blaze of the noontide of life, while in conscious possession of health, sense, and vitality. Disease may so rack and exhaust the spirit that dissolution promises the only relief from pres'ent torment ; but to be deprived of existence, when the pulse beats high with life and a feeling of all its capabilities and hopes, and that, by a cool, deliberate and leisurely process which makes the approaching catastrophe for a time as visible as it is certain, must produce, in the mind of the guilty convict, untold and incom municable horrors. To die a victim to the law, ignominiously suspended on a common rope, and to have one's dying convulsions thus made a holi day spectacle of, for the vulgar, is to most men a fate more severe by far than years, —nay, than a whole lifetime of unres'ealed miseries in the hulks or on the bleak and cheerless shores of Western Australia. Yet such is the gloomy fate,—the inevitable doom—of a wretched, ignorant, and debased creature who now lies in our county gaol, awaiting execution. Who can read the record of the deathbed scene of MARY GALLAGHER without feeling that this crime of wife-murder is one of the most atrocious for which man was ever sentenced to death. Albeit somewhat " unused to the melting mood," we might find some excuse for dropping a tear over so touching a scene. There lay the wounded wife, through whose gaping wounds, inflicted without provocation, life was fast ebbing; and yonder stood he who had done the foul deed. The authorities and officers of justice quietly steal around her dying couch, and whisper their inquiries as to the fatal scene. The moribund object of their care was still sufficiently alive to understand their object and the purport of their questionings. She endeavoured faithfully to narrate the incidents of the murderous onslaught, as far as its suddenness had left her consciousness to know .or to remember it. While thus simply uttering her recollections of the facts, she seemed chiefly anxious lest any thing should befal the unhappy man. The long abused and now murdered wife, hovering on the margin of the grave, was still a true woman, and showed all a woman's devotion, regardless of every consideration of self—showing, under cir cumstances which forbid any idea of insincerity or of designing policy, that spirit of pure submissive ness, and that mercifully forgiving heart, which sublime female human nature until it approaches the perfect—the divine. It must do every one good to realise the picture, and, as it were, hear her earnest words, as before her death she closed her statement to the magistrate with a warm expression of feeling—"l do not wish to do anything to him ; I forgive him with all my heart." These tender words need - no com ment. " How angelic she—and he, how much the blacker devil," that could have murdered a wife so faithful and forbearing. She, whose body, bearing so many mo r t a l gashes, now lies mouldering in a pauper's grave, only five short years ago was the winsome, happy, hopeful bride of him who brandished the fatal knife whose strokes deprived her of existence. He who so recently vowed to honour, cherish, and protect that woman, now stands convicted by his country of having foully slaughtered and murdered her, without provocation. The humble bridal chamber stands forth to the imagination in awful contrast to the last scene in which the husband slew the wife and mother. As the wife of a poor man and the mother of his two chil dren, no doubt often struggling hard for the barest means of subsistence, she surely deserved some other recompense from him than that of being barbarously attacked and sent, almost with out warning, to her long account. Who has seen aught of the vicissitudes and trials of humble married life without learning that woman is the greater sufferer from the privations and sorrows that poverty and want of employment; from whatever cause, inflict upon the families of the poor ; and who that has read the report of the trial can doubt that MARY GALLAGHER had patiently submitted to much that was exhausting and exasperating in the extreme, without a murmur that was unrea sonable or unduly provoking ? Even after she must have felt that she had received her death wounds from him who was bound to protect her, she sought no revengeshe was to the last for giving " with all her heart," and would appaL rently have withheld her dying testirtiony if' she could have saved hint. Poor, and probably illiterate, 1s they both were, had he been honest, persevering, sober, and well-intentioned, content ment, at least, might have been their lot; and a young family rising, perhaps, to enjoy an easier sphere, might ultimately have proved an ample reward for all their little passing troubles— troubles from which, perchance, families even in higher spheres are not altogether exempt. But, as the case stood, it was very different ; and ignorance, unregulated temper, intemperance, and idleness, have brought forth their bitter fruit, and given another victim to the gallows. The doom is pronounced by which this wretched wife-murderer must, in a few days, perish at the hands of the common hangman. His only defence was the state of body and mind he had fallen into through drinking. Even if true, this pretence is only an aggravation of the crime ; certainly it is not to be admitted as an excuse for, or pallia tion of, the offence. A man wh3 harbours mur derous thoughts may absorb from the bottle that brutal courage which is necessary to overcome what remains of his better nature, and may after wards seek to screen himself from justice by pleading the effects of the foul agency he employed to enable him to do it ; but, for tunately, the law ignores such a plea. Were it otherwise every fiend in human form would have at his hand a ready agency for the execution of his worst schemes, and a correspondingly easy exculpation. If a man voluntarily sub jects himself to an influence he cannot control, he is most properly held answerable for whatever crimes of violence he may commit. Whatever may be our opinions as to the justifiableness or propriety of capital punishments generally, we think all must feel painfully assured that if ever man justly merited the fate that awaits him it is this miserable culprit. Let no morbid sentiMent induce us to dwell on his dying agonies, forget ful of those he remorselessly inflicted upon his poor wife. Without denying the difficulties con nected with the dismal question of the scaffold as an 'f institution," let us rather interest our selves in the best and most effectual means of removing the cause which has been so fruitful in supplying it with victims. Prevention is better and easier than cure : and while we deplore the miserable fate of the condemned murderer, let us think of the hosts of poor neglected juvenile vagrants growing up in ignorance and vice, and _resolve to use our best endeavours to rescue them timeously from the course of crime which im pends over them, by imparting to them a sound moral and religious education, and training them up in habits of honest and persevering industry. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MONDAY, August 20. You may shortly expect to hear of the termina tion of the inquiry which has been so long going on relativt to the commercial Treaty between the two countries. It is rapidly hastening to its close. The Superior Council of Commerce held five sittings last week, instead of four ; s ome of them lasted till seven o'clo c k i n th e eve ning, and one or two till half-past seven. The inquiry on the two first days was devoted to the silk trade, and on the other three, to the manufacture of spirits arid chemical productions. About one hundred and fifty manufacturers, representing in their different degrees these most important branches of national industry, appeared before the council, Last Saturday's sitting was terminated by an interest ing statement by M. Boutanel, proprietor and manager of the extensive dyeing establishment at Clichy La-Garenne, and justly famed for the per fection and skill of his manufacturing processes and for the cheapness of his products. The council is still presided over by his Excellency M. Rouher. The functions of delegates to the council on behalf of the alcoholic and chemical interests were discharged by Messrs. Pelicot and Bareswil, in conjunction with M. Ame, di rec t or of the Paris Custom-house. No little time will be required for the arrange ment, consideration, and application of all this most voluminous evidence, which has been of a by no means uniform tendency. People talk as if two years at least would be required to digest the information that has been thus obtained: to recon cile innumerable interests ; to revise, alter, and amend tariff tables ; and above all, to overcome the objections of French protectionists to the reception of the principle of reciprocity —a print ciple which the British merchant and manufac turer is surely justified in stipulating shall be recognised sooner or later. The space of two years is a considerable period in the history of our fast-going age. It is a still more precious amount of time in the history of a French dynasty in the nineteenth century ; and I suspect that most of the supporters of the treaty would have hesitated to throw up their caps in the way they _ _ _ .. ~ did in England, in its favour, if they could have foreseen one half of the difficulties. delays, and dangers, which still stand in the way of the final settlement of its provisions, and of its being prac tically and beneficially put into operation. An exhibition of manufactures, agricultural and horticultural, organised by the Horticultural Society of La Haute-Marne, is to take place on the sth proximo, at St. Dizier ; as respects manu - factures and agriculture, it will include speci mens from the eleven departments of the east, and also from Paris; and for horticulture, the whole of France and foreign countries. St. Dizier is the central and the most important market for metallic products, and as on this occasion the whole of the metallurgical resources of the eastern districts will be brought together, an opportunity will be afforded .0 France and to foreign countries of see- ing the extent and progress which the manu facture of articles of this kind has attained in these districts. I may here observe that this is by no means a solitary instance of the rapid strides which France is making under the new empire, in the development and encouragement of every department of industry ; and her advance in these respects is in no direction more marked than in those connected with agri culture. This science, in all its branches, has long been in a most deplorable state in France, owing, partly, to the minute subdivision of landed property effected by the abolition of the law of primogeniture and to the innumerable burdens of all kinds to which real estate in France is sub jected, and partly to the difficulty of borrowing money on the security of landed property, owi ng to the insecurity of title, the expense of con veyance, and other causes. The Constitutionnel had a long article, the other day, recommendatory of a new agricultural loan society, w hi c h has been established here with a considerable capital, for the purpose of making loans to agriculturists and others desirous of improving their estates. Its machinery is very similar to the system on which advances are made by the Drainage Com missioners in England, an d'great success is augured from its operation : Of course, it is aided by the Government. Th e permanent commission of valeurs, charged with the duty of reviewing each year the prices of commodities entered in the Table of French Commerce, has just addressed to the members of agriculture, of commerce, and and of public works, the report upon its labours for the session of 1860. This document enters into a variety of interesting details, to which I shall, perhaps, turn at a future time. At present, I merely give you the closing paragraph with which it sums up the results of its inquiries for the year 1839 :—" On the whole, the labours of the Commission of Values is not characterised on this occasion by any excep tional fact of primary importance; and as regards the general result, it indicates, above all, a positive amelioration in the general state of the transac tions of the country." As I shall not have either time or room on this occasion to enter upon the subject of foreign news —and, indeed, it would be difficult for me in the present dearth of positive intelligence, to touch any fresh ground—l shall conclude my pre sent letter by sending you an explanatory state ment respecting some alterations in the French customs duties, which appeared in the jloniteur of Saturday last, and which may possibly not be quite understood on your side of the detroit. The first of the tWo tmperiat dQcrees referred to is as follows :--" On the repdrt or our Minister and Secretary of State for the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, &-c., with reference to article 34 - of the law of 17th September, 1854, we have decreed and decree as follows : Art. I. The import duties on capillaire are suppressed." This article, I may mention, is a syrup used to sweeten liqueurs and certain kinds of wine, and in produced from the herb of the above name, which grows chiefly in Montpelier and Canada. It is so called from its resemblance to the hair of the head when in a dishevelled state. The second decree sets forth that :—" Having regard to the decree of 11th February, 1860, relative to the admission of certain productions of Algeria into the ports of the eiripire ; to the law of sth May, 1850, which has suppressed the premiums established on the export of woollen fabrics ; to the law of 23rd May, 1860, which has reduced the tax on sugar, we have decreed as follows: Art. I. The compensatory duties (droits compensatelers), established by article 3 of our decree of 11th February last, and recapitulated in table C, are suppressed as regards cushions in cloth, braidings in wool and in silk, and in gandriras (hair of the goat). They (the compen satory duties) are reduced to 6 francs 25 centimes as regards alcoholic liquors/' ITALY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MILAN, August 17. My letter of the 15th instant concluded with a brief notice of two telegrams, which arrived at the moment of closing my letter, announcing the landing of 8,000 Garibaldini at Reggio, and as both were inserted in the Persereranza, one of the most respectable journals of this city, and supported by their own private despatches, in- doted me to send you the same. This intelligence, as you may suppose, was received throughout the city with the greatest joy, and i❑ the evening many permitted their enthusiasm to rise to a much higher temperature than that marked on Reaumur's thermometer (the weather here being more like autumn than summer), and which in duced many to indulge in an extra ice, lemonade, sugar and water, or very weak ale, discussing in groups of ten or twelve persons the news of the morning, with the usual quantity of shouting and gesticulation; while others were forming them selves into a closely packed circle around one of the white marble tables, one of the most artistic of the group being gravely engaged in planning upon the said marble table a geographical map of Calabria and Naples, in blacklead pencil, showing the position of Pianelli and Bosco's farces, the different points to be attacked, and the various roads to be traversed by Garibaldi from Reggio to the capital, making a small square with an upright line and diminutive streamer, which was to represent the Royal Palace, with the Tri coloured banner ; here, by a fine combination of circumstances, a large tear (perhaps from the eye) of an old gentleman fell precisely at the side of the square and upright line and streamer, the artist happily exclaiming, this will serve me as the bay of Naples, and these dots (making eight or ten dots with the same blacklead pencil) will chew you the position of the ships of war of England, France, and Piedmont. At this stage of our professor's instructive lesson of geography, a gentleman asked, " How many days will it take Garibaldi to reach Naples ?" Whereupon our geographical artist threw his head backwards with such force as to place in the greatest peril the pit of the chest of our thin old gentleman who was standing behind; then, after gazing for five or six seconds at a beautifully painted flying cupid upon the ceiling, as suddenly ducking his head so low as to be in peril of bringing it into contact with perhaps a much harder substance, namely, the above-mentioned marble table, and the great genius of the group scribbled down eight or ten figures, and then with great exultation replied, "Circa quattro o cinque giorni ;" the group im mediately shouting, " Bene, bene, dunque in quattro o cinque giorni l'ltalia saru-libera (Capital, capital, now in four or five days Italy will be free)." Alas ! this state of contentedness, like many other pleasures of the world, was but short-lived. About nine o'clock in the evening out came the Pungolo, with its usual regiment of boys flying all over the city, and rushing into the cafes, like so many wild Indians, bawling out, " Chi comanda it Pungolo; importanti despacci telegrafici (who wishes for the Pungolo ; important telegraphic despatches)." This is the favourite journal among almost all classes of the people, and costs five centerini, about a halfpenny in English money. The groups immediately opened, bought, and read aloud the Pungolo to the anxious listeners ; but, instead of the news of the morning being confirmed, we found the following despatches, as usual with the names of cities, dates, hours, and minutes, so as to leave no doubt of their authenticity : " Turin, August 15 ; Florence, August 14, 11 15 p.m. ; Naples, August 14, 4 p.m.—This night the Garibaldini on board the Veloce attacked a Neapo litan cruiser at Castellamare, and were defeated. Nothing new from Calabria." The other despatch runs as follows :—" Turin, August 15 ; Genoa, August 15; hour, 5.35 afternoon.— The landing of the Garibaldini is not confirmed. Nothing new from Calabria. Naples is tranquil. The Count d'Aquila has demanded his passports, and leaves Naples. The state of siege has been declared. The army and National Guard evince the best disposition." This unwelcome news eli cited a general cry of " Oh, per Bacco, questo troppo! (Oh, by Bacchus, this is too much !)" thus at one blow sending their glee considerably below freezing point. The above is a faithful picture of a scene I witnessed with my own eyes at the Cafe Cova on Wednesday evening. Yesterday mo rning we received th e f o ll ow i ng telegrams:—Florence, August 15: A correspondent of the Nazzione writes from Naples on the 11 th instant—" Pianelli is now a t th e h ead of 20,000 men. Another corps of 20,000 occupies the second line between Naples and Calabria. The desertions are increasing every day ; nearly 730 men have already deserted from the 13th regiment of the line. At Naples reigns the greatest excitement. An order has just been issued that in case of alarm the forts are to warn the people by three discharges of cannon, hoist the red flag, and beat the citizens to arms. The sappers and miners ara actively engaged in pre paring materials for barricades. The villagers of Vomero have been requested to leave their homes and enter Naples." The . Government of Naples has just received the following despatches :—"Palmi, Aug. 9.—The line betl;men Palmi an d Reggio is i n t errup t e d b y the revolutionists. The telegraph of Petrelle announces twenty-four vessels to be seen ad vancing towards the Calabrian coast. " Monte hour 3 after m id n i g ht. leone, August 9, Numerous bands threaten the castle. 10th.— Another disembarkment of Garibaldini between Bovaltino and Bianco, with many large vessels towards Gerace. The port of the Torre Cavallo has been taken by 7,000 Garibaldini that disem barked at Capo dell' Armi. 11 in the evening.— Another disembarkment of Garibaldini at San Giovanni and Fiumera. A short engagement with the troops of General Vial." The above is a fair sample of the telegrams that we are continually receiving every day from Naples and Calabria; those that arrive in the morning being contradicted by those that arrive in the evening, and those of the evening being in their turn contradicted by others that reach us the following morning, so that it 'requires *the greatest discrimination and prudence on the part of a correspondent to avoid being drawn into the greatest error by reporting only the half of what we read in these journals; but perhaps the tele grams are not ao bad as the gross exaggerations and absurdities that we are doomed to read dal after day, and given by these journals as positive facts, which, to a certain extent, is excusable, especially when such writers as Dumas indulge their readers with such ribald nonsense as the following :—/11 Senzaphore states that Dumas arrived oti the 31st ultimo, on board the City of Aberdeen, and Made a short stay of about an hour in the port of Naples. Immediately the chief commissioners of police hea±4 that Dumag was on board they rushed to the steamer, ii order to see the great romancier, when the for. lowing colloquy took place :—" Chief Commis sioner : Oh, sir, if the people knew that you were here they would come, and even against your will, carry you in triumph through the city. —Dumas : I have promised Garibaldi not to enter Naples without him."—" And when do you think he will come?' demanded the Commis sioner, in a tone of voice which showed the profound desire he felt to see Garibaldi.-- Dumas : " Oh' in a fortnight or three weeks at the most." Chief Commissioner (with great exaltv tion) : "Oh; so much the better, so much the better! All here expect hint With great impatience. Do you know, sir," continued the commissioner, " that we have received your letter of the battle 01 Milazzo, which came to us by way of Leghorn: Oh, sir, if you knew the sensation it has created! One printer alone has published 10,000 copies, and if you will come on shore you will see it still selling about the streets." The above is not a jot more absurd and extravagant than maul passages in Dumas's first letter, giving an account of the engagement at Milazzo. One of the para graphs stating that a cannon ball parried away Garibaldi's right stirrup and the sole of his boot, but most providentially without the foot or leg receiving the least injury. I am by no means surprised a t D umas ' s l et te rs t o " C aro Carini,' , and the highly-coloured nature of the same, 0 it is utterly impossible for the French writert to relate a plain tale, they •must invest it or dress up their characters with something beyond what is either natural or probable. The Setna' phore, determined not to be beaten by Dumasl states that the soldiers that have returned fro Sicily, and were present at the battle of Calatet fimi, relate to their companions that t4aribaldi eight feet in height, and that during the 6Pgage: ment he received 150 musket shots in his shirt, and that at the end of the fight the unloosened the same, and gave it a good shake, when all the balls fell at his feet, which, to the Neapolitans, is as much as to say that Garibaldi is the devil himself, or a downright saint. I could give you a dozen similar examples of the stupidity and trash we are doomed to read io these journals, but it would be a useless waste of your space. The journals tell me that the publi' cation of the Sardinian statute in Sicily was recei' ved with the greatest enthusiasm ; but my private letters, which I know to be correct, tell me different story, which I shall explain in my next and let me implore your readers not to be too easily led away by the exaggerated accounts of many correspondents respecting Sicily and Naples- From my experience, long residence, and the pre' sent aspect of the political horizon, I cannot bring myself to view the future with those happy results that many anticipate, the reasons of which shall be given in my subsequent letters. Down to thie hour, four o'clock, we have no official confirms' tion of any of the Garibaldini having landed ill Calabria.
