For Pork there was rather more inquiry, and some holders asked a slight advance. Bacon was much reduced in stock, and prices were firm. Hams were a slow sale, at a reduction of 2s. per cwt. Shoulders firm. The sales of Lard were again large, and exceeded 200 tons, at full rates; holders now talk of raising prices, the stock being so much reduced.

Zte eit 'itch ad(bizntarket. In the Liverpool Oil and Oil-Seeds Market during the past week, notwithstanding that the importations continued heavy, the price of Lin seed advanced Is 6d per qr. This was owing, not so much to an increased demand (for the sales have been considerably below those of last week), but to the indisposition on the part of holders and importers to place their stock on the market, a further rise being, by many, anticipated. As our trade in Linseed for the past month was again considerable, a brief resume may not be uninte resting :—lmportations from India from the 3rd to the 31st August, 51,654 bags, 1,700 pockets ; sales on the spot, 21,870 bags, 9,400 pockets. Besides the latter there have been sold for arrival, 6,895 bags and 2,000 quarters. .oar: leading crushers are well stocked. Rapeseed was also rather better, but there was less disposition to buy at the high prices. To-day Bombay Linseed was worth 57s 6d per quarter ; Bengal, 55s to 565. Brown Bombay Rapeseed, 61s 3d; Guzerat (nominal), 70s. Linseed Oil was rather quiet, and there was sellers but no buyers at £3l, in export casks. Linseed Cake in great demand, and £ll was the price asked for the best Liver pool-made Cake ; £lO lOs was paid for large quantities. Rape Oil worth £44 lOs for English brown. Rape Cake: £5 lOs per ton has been ,paid, and £6 was asked, for Feeding Cake. The transactions for the week were as follows Offered for Sale.-2,406 bags Bombay Linseed, 3,009 bags Bombay Rapeseed, 50 bags Guzerat Rapeseed, and 208 bags Teelseed.

Frei g ht,, continue firm, as there is still a good demand for ships for Grain, and the amount of available tonnage not being great the rates will probably advance, as large imports of Breadstuffs will be required to supply the deficiency in the harvest here. East India and China rates are unaltered, but neglected, except for Calcutta, for which port 45s for Salt, free of consignment, is paid. Homewards the freights obtainable here are steady at our quotations, and Rice freights fully 5s per ton better for swan ships. Pacific freights are nominal, and but little enquiry for ships. Brazilian and West India trades Stull, and rates low. Australian trade confined to regular traders. Tonnage to U.S. ports is abundant, and we have no improvement to notice, as ships are hurrying back to secure return freights. RAILS—BRISTOL CHANNEL.

Sack Flour was in moderate request, and quite as dear ; American rather easie r to purchase. Egyptian Beans were steadily sold, and 6d per quarter dearer. Oats and Oatmeal, without alteration in price, but in slow request. For Indian Corn we hakno Irish inquiry ; the English demand for feeding purposes takes off only a limited quantity, and quotations were with difficulty maintained. --- The Weather, although not all that could be desired, has been on the whole more favourable this week ; we have had heavy rains at night, followed by brisk drying winds and sun shine during the day, and a good many fields have been reaped i n this neighbourhood. The trade at the provincial markets, stimulated by the decided advance in Mark Lane, has been characterised by considerable animation, and • Wh ea t has realised an improvement varying from is to 4s per quartei, according to the extent of supplies and demand. Spring corn also parti cipates in the amendment. The trade here has ruled firm, but the business in Wheat has not been on an exten sive scale, attention being more directed towards sack Flour, in which considerable transactions have taken place, and a few cargoes of French have found buyers, cost and freight. The Gazette returns of Wheat for the week ended 25th instant, are 80,588 quarters. The fresh supplies of Wheat and Flour during the past three days, are confined to 792 qrs. of the former, and 3,049 barrels of the latter: from Zte Moot Market, Messrs. Perkins & Robinson ' in their Monthly Wool Circular, say '—eVThs e has been a fair prices have have had a quiet month in our Wool Mark demand for curr en t des criptions, er and l t. been on the whole well supported ; but ( e ) h w a i r n v g es t t, to the protracted unseasonable weat her , and the f ears e ntertained for t he safe ty of th there has not been much disposition to enter into large transactions, unless to supply imine diate wants. Our stocks, however, continue in s uc h a moderate compass, and there is so little prospect of large supplies coming forward from any quarter, that present prices appear likely to rule for some time to come, while with a few weeks of favourable weather we should possibly see an advance. Messrs R. W. Ronald & Son's Monthly Woo l Circular says :—The continued unsettled state of the weather during the past month, and the con sequent apprehensions of a bad harvest, have had A depressing influence on trade. generally, and THE DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1860. Wool has formed no exception, though perhaps less affected than other branches. The demand has been strictly confined to actual wants, and transactions have therefore been but on a moderate scale, with prices in some instances slightly in favour of buyers. The Public Sales in - London - have engrossed the attention of the trade through out the month, having terminated last evening, the total quantity offered amounting to 58,725 fine Colonial. Prices have continued to be well supported till within about a week of the close, when, in consequence of the ungenial weather, the middling and lower classes went to a shade -- easier. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. The LONDON STOCK "NIARKET to-day quickly responded to the improvement in the weather. The funds rose i per cent.

The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday The funds remain perfectly stationary in price, with very little business. Upon the whole, however, the tendency at the close was rather firmer than of late, the rain holding off, and the money market remaining tolerably quiet. There was a good demand for money. The best short bills were discounted at 31 per cent. ; in all other cases the rates were above the Bank minimum. A fair amount of business was done at the Bank. — Daily News. The weather having again been comparatively favour able the English funds have been steadily maintained at previous quotations. In the discount market the demand was moderate, and the general rate rather under the Bank minimum. In the Stock Exchange it is difficult to employ money for short periods at 2 per cent. In foreign stocks the principal movement has been a rise in Mexican. The amount of gold taken to the Bank was 0.0,000.-77n:es. _ _ • The following is the usual Bank of England Account for the week ending Wednesday.:— ISErE DEPARTMENT.

From inquiry we have ascertained that the detention occurs at the Paris Post-office ; but we cannot understand why the copies addressed to Milan should be stopped. We have, therefore, to suggest to our subscribers, who forward our papers to Lombardy and other parts of Italy, that they should, in order to insure safe delivery, address them via Belgium, in which case the postage will be 3d., or ld. more than if sent via France.

Public attention in France is naturally at this moment divided between the manifesto of M. de Persigny and Her Majesty's speech. That part of the latter document which appear to give the most offence, relates to the transaction regarding Savoy and the independence of Switzerland; and what is said on this subject, taken in con nection with the "conspicuous" absence of all reference to the Commercial Treaty, has produced apparently, as was probably intended, a very uncomfortable feeling in certain sections of French society. Moreover, we seem threatened with an absolute plethora of allusions of one kind and another as to the present state of the relations between the two countries. The French Marshals, among others, have favoured us with their views regarding them. Marshal Magnansays that he has it " from the Emperor's own mouth that peace would be maintained," while Marshal Niel would seem to bid us rely for the continuance of peace, not on any vain delusions as to the impotence of France, but on the success of our endeavours to maintain a friendly feeling with her. There are many reasons why we should not believe, as we are asked to do, that the distrust of France is greater at the present moment than it has been since Waterldo, but there are none why England and the rest of Europe should not be pre pared for an interruption of peace. Intelligenc e received through a French channel states that down to the evening of Thursday last Xaples cop- tinued tranquil; that the expected military demonstration in favour of annexionism ,4ad not yet taken place ; and that the King. WA passed some regiments in review pre viously to theii departure for Castellamare. We are also told that the Government has been able to give M. Brenier- the satisfaction he demanded, whatever that may hive been: - As we anticipated, and were previously • informed by our Paris Correspondent, Garibaldi was not personally present in several of the affairs that had taken place in Calabria. His appearance must be looked for much nearer Naples than Salerno even. We gather from one of the numerous letters from Naples that the clergy have at length begun to move, and be moved. A small work is circulating in Naples, addressed to that body, and endeavouring to persuade them to adopt the new in stitutions. The Bishop of Ischia, moreover, has addressed a pastoral to his clergy and the faithful of his diocess, in which he says that those who refuse to obey- and sup- port the new form of government are neither faithful subjects nor good Christians—on the contrary, rebels and fomenters of scandals. It is also stated that in the movement in the Basilicata, according to the despatches of. the Comitato, the clergy are more or less mixed up. The whole of Italy, in fact, seems to feel that. a sacred and holy cause has linked all Italians in suddeia brother hood. The testamentary executors of a wealthy Milanese who had placed at their discretion a large bequest for charitable objects generally, have just agreed that their country was the foremost object just now, and sent the whole amount to the military chest of Garibaldi. From Turin the news comes that there has been a short Ministerial crisis. Cavour is said to have resigned, and then, after the lapse of twenty-four hours, allowed himself to be persuaded to resume office. The cause of the " difficulty" wal3 the difference of opinion in the Cabinet regarding the volunteers, the departure of whom Cavour soaght to prevent with a high hand and deter- mination, which led to disturbances at Genoa, not unat tended with bloodshed. He now appears to have changed his mind on the subject, as appears from an announcement in our Paris letter, dated yesterday It seems that Austria is resolved to take all the pre cautions in its power against a successful attack on Venetia. The Government is stated to be most actively carrying on the works for the completion of a branch line to connect the Venetian railways with those of Germany. On the sth of September the 'line from Mabresina to Udine will be inaugurated. This railway will enable Austria to transport a considerable force to Venetia in a few days. As was anticipated, the Minis ters of the Emperor Joseph have agreed to offer certain terms of compromise to the opposition ; and they pro pose that his Majesty "should indite an autograph letter to be read to the Reichsrath, stating the sincerity of his intentions to give satisfaction to the legitimate wishes of the people, which, it is hoped, will prevent unne cessary political debates." A pamphlet has been addressed by Mr. S. P. Ward, of Cheapside, to the wholesale manufacturers and ware housemen in the shipping trade, on the encouragement offered to fraud by the reckless system which has so long preyailed of giving credits without inquiry into standing or character, and the readiness of bankers and money-lenders to make advances on the hypothecation of pods. Mr. Ward nrges that the respectable houses should combine and resolve "never, under any circum stances, to open a credit account with "a shipping mer chant unless he can satisfactorily prove that he possesses sufficient bona fide capital as a basis of his speculations, If they can agree to do so it will be a great advantage to honest trade, but the keenness of riyarly is generally found too great, and the average standard of morality too low in all departments of business to allow of much hope in such matters. Every effort, however, like that made by Mr. Ward to expose the evil, will hasten the prospect of its accomplishment. Meanwhile the best hope will lie in the abridgment of that pernicious com petition for bills to discount which has grown out of the modern practice of allowing interest on deposits at call. The recent determination of the Bank of England to refuse to lend themselves to the plan of re-discounting is the most effective step ever taken in that direction, and those who are most conversant with the movements of the money market entertain a full conviction that but for the adoption of this policy the late disgraceful con dition of the leather trade would not have been broken up until it had attained even still more extensive pro portions. Usually the houses engaged in a career of that description have been enabled to go on until the occurrence of some unusual demand for money, from a bad haryeat hf political caitlalties, and they have glen stopped like martyrs amid a concerted cry of sympathy at the manner in which the " great commercial estab lishments of the empire" are sacrificed to the inexorable operation of the currency system of Sir Robert Peel. The Danish government have advertised their inten tion to pay off, on the Ist of March next, the outstand ing portion of their £BOO,OOO 5 per cent. loan of 1850. This portion: amoup.ts tp £691,410. They give the holders the option of taking 4 per cent, bonds in sub stitution. At the same time they notify that bonds not presented within one year and six weeks will be forfeited to the State, and that the same plan is to be adopted in the case of coupons outstanding, for five years. As this course would have in some degree the appear ance of confiscation, it would be well for the credit of the Danish Government that it should be reconsidered. In September last Denmark paid off the balance of a like amount contracted in 1849. That balance was £697,200. The funds for these liquidations have been supplied chiefly by the payment of £1,125,000 made by England in 1857, in consideration of the abolition of the Sound Dues. The Manchester Exhibition of the Works of Modern Artists will be thrown open to the public this day. The exhibition has a stronger claim upon public attention than usual, from the fact that in, addition to the collec tion being large and varied beyond those of former years, go f ar as English pictures are concerned, there is a large number (240) of foreign works of art by French, Belgian, and German artists. The Council of the Royal Institution have this year very judiciously left the management to the local artists, and Messrs. W. Percy, J. Keeling, R. Crozier, H. C. Mitchell, and H. Calvert, to whom the hanging has been intrusted, appear to have discharged the trust very ably and con scientiously, if not to the satisfaction of every one of the exhibitors. Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a great deal of excitement was caused at the Adelphi pier, London, in consequence of the discovery of the Dody of a female, and from the dreadful marks of violence upon her, there is little doubt but that she had been foully murdered. On an examination being made, it was found to be that of a female about 25 years of age, and rather stout, but from the appear ances, and from the advanced state of decomposition, it is believed she must have been in the water at least six was. On the body being furth f er ex mined, a frightful wound was found on the forihead, extending right across, and which had the appearance of having been inflicted with some blunt instrument. Her clothes, from what could be seen, were of a very good material, but no money, or any article to lead to identification, was found. A letter has been sent to the Times by Sir Benjamin Brodie, in which he calls attention to the excessive and incretoing prevalence of the use of tobacco in this countr?, and expatiates on its evil and injurious effects. "The greatest smokers at the present time," writes this greaten; living medical authority in the kingdom, "are to be found, not among those who live by their bodily labour, but among those who are more advantageously situated, who have better opportuni ties of education, and of whom we have a right to expect that they should constitute the most intelligent and thorghtful members of the community. Nor is the practiceconfined to grown-up men. Boys, even at the best sclools, get the habit of smoking, because they think i. manly and fashionable to do so; not un frequen•ly because they have the example set by their tutors, and partly because there is no friendly voice to warn tlamt as to the special ill consequences to which it may give rise where the process of growth is not yet completed, and the organs are not yet fully developed. But thee; evil consequonces, according to Sir Benjamin, are not :..onfiued to the present generation : " a still graver tuestion remains to be considered.. What will be be result if this habit be continued by future generatiois ? it is. but too true that the sins of the lathe's are visited upon their children and upon their cbillren's children. We may here take warn ing from the fate of the Red Indians of America. An intellgent American physician gives the follow ing explination of the gradual extinction of this remarkable people :—One generation of them become addicted the use of the firewater, They have a degenerate and comparatively imbecile progeny, who indulge in the same vicious habit with their parents. Their progeny is still more degenerate, and after a very few generations the race ceases altogether. We may also take warning from the history of another nation, who some few centuries ago, while following the banners of Solymaathe Magnificent, were the terror of Christen dom, but who since, then having become more addicted to tobacco smoking than any of the European nations, are now the lazy'and lethargic Turks, held in contempt by all civilised communities. The comparison of the effects of tobacco with those of alcohol leads to the con sideration of a much wider question than that with which I set out. In all ages of which we have any record, mankind have been in the habit of resorting to the use of certain vegetable productions, not as contributing to nourishment, but on account of their having some peculiar influence as stimulants or sedatives (or in some other way) on the nervous system. Tobacco, alcohol, the Indian hemp, the kaya of the South Sea Islanders, the Paraguay tea, coffee, and even tea, belong to this category. A dispOsitiou so univer sal may almost be regarded as an instinct ; and there is sufficient reason to believe that, within cer tain limits; the indulgence of the instinct is useful. But we must not abuse our instincts, This is one of the most important rules which man, as a re sponsible being, both for his own sake and for that of others, is bound to observe. Even such moderate agents as tea and coffee, taken in excess, are prejudicial. How much more so are tobacco and alcohol, tending, as they do, not only to the degradation of the individual, but to that of future generations of our species. If tobacco-smokers would limit themselves to the occasional indulgence of their appetite, they would do little harm either to themselves or others.; but there is always danger that a sensual habit once begun may be carried to excess, and that danger is never so great as in the ease of those who are not compelled by the necessities of their situation to be actively employed. For such persons the prudent course is to abstain from smoking altogether. THE REVIEW TO-DAY. THIS day, the Volunteer movement arrives at a point of ecliit which it were difficult to surpass. The whole Volunteer organisation owes its origin, legislatively, to Lord DERBY. It has often been unjustly surmised that the Conservatives feared the power of the people. Nothing could be more unfounded or absurd. The Conservatives desire, above all things; to conserve the proper and legitimate power of the people. So does Lord DuBY ; and so he has organised and encouraged by every means in his power the movement of which he is the legislative author. We all remember how distinctly and invidiously some of the Lon don press endeavoured to insinuate that although the Volunteer movement was good, and had been duly responded to by the towns, that the country gentlemen did not approve of it, and that very few, if any, county corps had been formed. It was especially remarked that although certain liberal gentlemen had given the whole benefit of their influence and position to the movement, there were many who had not done so. At one time it was insinuated that the Queen and Royal Family scarcely approved of it. This vile rumour was set at rest by the Hyde Park and Ilolyrood reviews, Then it was a resort of the disappointed to say that Lord DERBY, and others of like pro fessions and principles, declined to have anything to say in the matter, and had not identified them selves with Volunteering. It would, indeed, have been strange if Lord DERBY had been a secret foe to the system he himself had given national birth to; but it so happened that he was, as usual, suspected of anything but honesty, —for such is the course of policy the Whig- Radicals pursue, That it should have been in the power of the right honourable and noble EARL of DERBY to remove those suspicions, and that he should at once vigorously have availed himself of the ear liest opportunity of doing so, is most gratifying and satisfactory. It proves that he is no enemy of the people; that he does not distrust them ; and that, having espoused and promoted such a policy, be is determined not to abandon it—let doubtful friends and unavowed enemies say what they may. The truth is manifest—that the arti sans of England must, and can alone, form the basis and strength of the whole Volunteer sys tem; and that everyone who desires to see the present Volunteer movement brought to perfec tion, must do his or her duty in persuading an d assisting those who live by the swea t of their brow to do their utmost to se cure the safety, peace, and prosperity of their n ative land, by voluntarily enrolling themselves as champions of liberty and independence. T his day's proceed ings will prove that the Earl of DER BY is a man of the people, and an advocate o f the cause and interests of the people. By encoura ging them to arm and strengthen themselves for the assertion of their rights, he proves his honest reliance on their loyalty and good faith ; and shows that his mind at least is not possessed with narrow notions as to the pretended feeling of seditious and dis loyal emotion on the part of the lower stratum of the masses. The gran d and s o l emn tr uth is, that t hey to area prove the people of England of ou r day are as loyal as great deal to all the m ev o e r r e theywere, and thatthan ever world that they are so , re g ard less 'of any other considerations save thos e of truth and justice. determined Nay, more, the masses now kno' that their superiors do not ignore the principles of progress, freedoth, and fall, fair, , A d free expression of opinion, This Saturday, the Ist of September, promises to be a red day in the calendar. If the w ea th er keep fine, as it fairly p romises to do, w e s h a ll enjoy a day's pleasure , the lik e of which has never been experienced or witnessed by the oldest inhabitant. Let all take into serious con sideration the many difficulties in deali ng w i t h and providing for the wants and conv eniences of so vast a company, and, after making a good natured allowance for unavoidable deficiences, we trust all will be led to say that truly everythi ng has been done that even an earldom could com mand to make this grand Volunteer Review an entertainment fully worthy of the nobl e h os t, and of his tens of thousands of loyal Volunteer guests. _ STREET NUISANCES. —Yesterday an accident, which was near being attended by fatal consequence, happened from one of those street nuisances -9U 'lnproteeted painters ladder. At the present time some painters are engaged in decorating the front of Mr. Harbridge's spirit vaults, in Dale-street. Yesterday morning, as a female was passing along the parapet, a pair of steps, at least twelve feet high, fell upon her head, and for a time rendered her insensible, but, fortunately fur her, she soon recovered and was enabled to walk home. Surely wh:Ji such things are placed on the footway, some person ahould be there to prevent the dangerous accidents that might arise to passers by.

I should have been glad to have given you a full translation of the speech of M. de Persigny, but it is far too long to be included in the allotted space of my letters ; and besides, the telegraph has already, I am told, conveyed to you an admirable analysis of it. The principal feature _ _ hi the address is the declaration—made in the most solemn form to which M. de Persigny could give expression—that th© military rule of Franc; is finished, and that an era of peace is about, beyond all doubt, to open for Europe. It is but fair to remark with reference to this declaration, that this bosom friend of Louis Napoleon has always stoutly professed himself to be a most resolute friend of peace ; but at the same time, it must not be forgotten, that his ideas and his well-known aspirations render him par ticularly susceptible of being imposed upon by pacific illusions. His statement may possibly be true ; but as Europe is, at the present moment, to all appearance beset by a greater variety of troublous elements than has been the case for many years back, it certainly showed no little boldness on his part so authoritatively to announce that the era of peace had actually arrived, and that Europe had already entered upon it ; on the other hand, such a declaration, coming from a quarter so well informed, ought to be valuable in reference to the policy of France towards the affairs of Italy. It is stated that explicit instructions have been forwarded to the commander of the French naval squadron at Naples to observe an attitude of the most perfect neutrality, but many people have experienced a difficulty in reconciling these instructions with those which seemed to have been sent to M. Brenier, enjoining him to press upon the Neapolitan Government the propriety of its apologising without further delay, for the outrage committed upon him by some ruffians in the streets of Naples the beginning of last quarter. It has been suggested that there is some mistake in the account which has been published of this matter, and that the reparation for which M. Brenier has been requested to apply, refers to a demand for indemnity to the French residents in Naples, who have suffered in their persons or their property by the bombardment of Palermo. But even if this version of the affair be the correct one, it is extremely difficult to account for the French Government having brought forward such a claim at a moment like the present, when there was nobody ready to listen to it, and nobody competent to discharge it if it were acknowledged. According to a correspondent of a Paris paper the French ambassador has made repeated attempts to obtain satisfaction for the insult in question, but he has always been put off with excuses of one kind and the other ; till at length, finding that the man Campagna, who"was notoriously the guilty party, had not only not been punished, but had received his passport in the usual way, enabling him to leave the city as if nothing had happened, he was determined to delay no longer in bringing matters to a point ; M. Brenier therefore called upon M. Martino, the Neapolitan Home Secretary, a nd formally a nd positively renewed his claim for satisfaction, stipulating—l st, For an indemnity to every Frenchman who had suffered from the bombardment of Sicily ; and 2ndly, For an expression of regret on the part of the Neapolitan Government for the outrage, to be conveyed to the Emperor, his master, by a special ambassador, and this within forty-eight hours. These demands were under consideration when the writer of the letter sent off his despatch, and it is to be pre sutnei they have been adjourned sine die. Many speculations are being indulged in here, in regard to the precise object of the mission of Signor Farini and his colleague, to the Emperor, at Chambery. It is said that Victor Emanuel has charged these gentlemen to represent to the French Emperor, that the Government of Turin really cannot continue to occupy its present posi tion of neutrality any longer, and that the King must be allowed to take part in the Garibaldian movement one way or the other—that his Majesty feels himself completely overcome by the present course of events, and that he really cannot longer delay to put himself at their head, unless he is tct forego all the advantages, and surrender all the objects, to which his whole life, and his whole endeavours in time past, have been devoted; and, therefore, that the Emperor must really say at once how far he (Victor Emmanuel) can count upon his support in the accomplishment of those projects which destiny has plainly assigned to him. Your readers have no doubt seen the report of the speech of the Mayor of Chambery to the Emperor on his arrival in that city, but there is a talk of a reply having been made to that oration by the Emperor, which has not been published. I shall endeavour to trace out this rumour to-morrow. The fine weather which has prevailed here for some days past continues to be made the best use of by the farmers in the neighbourhood. Every hand that can be got hold of, is employed in gathering in the harvest, and the greater portion of the crop has now been housed in fair condition. The. Bourse continues to be deserted by specu' lators, and there are no indications of any return ing animation one way or the ether. Rentes yesterday varied from 67.90 to 68. PARIS, Friday, August 31, 1860. According to the latest news received here yesterday, the Count of Syracuse has written to. the King of Naples, his nephew, representing to him the expediency, with the view of sparing "the blood of Italians," of his retiring voluntarily, as was done by the Duchess of Parma last year when her 9.Wia people rose at the approach of the Franco-Sardinian troops; it is also stated that ' the, Neapolitan generals have expressed their un anim,ous:concurrence iu this advice, that a great number of the officers of the army have thrown u their commissions, and that a general military pronuncianzento was hourly expected. At ;the same time, a despatch has arrived from Genoa confirming the statements of the Genoese journals, which have asserted that the departure of the volunteers from Genoa, which had been for a time suspended by orders of the Sardinian Govern ment, has been authorised of new, on conditi on of the volunteers submitting to certain special conditions , From Messina there are accounts down to the 26th instant. A correspondent writing front that place on that date, after remarkingthat, since the passage of the Straits by Garibaldi, and his landing near Mileto, "events have succeeded each other with a rapidity which testifie s to the incredible activity of the General-in-Chief of the liberaliarmy," and, after referring to the leading incidents in the Calabrian campaign down to the 25th, states that the army of Garibaldi, which is now called the Southem Army, entered Bag nora on the 2.Ath.: and that new corps of volun teers, who were arriving every instant from Faro, were constantly being organised. Out of these Garibaldi has formed a second army, called the Neapolitan, in which a considerable number of Neapolitan officers have taken aervine-. On the 26th his advance Movement was continued, and numerous volunteers were joining him at every. step. The same writer gives the following explanation of the death of Commander De Flotte, who was formerly a lieutenant in the French service, and who fell at Solaro an the 22nd. "This officer had landed with a small force of fifty men, one half English, and the other French, with the intention of rejoining one of the corps which has landed the e vening before and had been engaged in sever al smart enco un t ers w i th detachments of Neapolitans. On reaching the neighbourhood of Solano, he and his little band, suddenly fell into the midst of a battallon of Royalists, who opened a violent tire upon his little party. Always in 44vance, the gallant De Flottp reeeir d a ball right th roug h hi s h ead, but the survivors succeeded in effecting a junction with General Cosenz, bringing with them the body of their leader. By orders of General Gari baldi, the gallant deceased was buried in the church of Solano, and his brave conduct and. that of his heroic little band, were mentioned in a most flattering manner in a general order." An almost innumerable number o€ letters are daily received from Naples, filled with details of Garibaldi's successes, and commenting on the vain efforts of the government to conceal tha real, state of the case from, the public.. The rumour of the demand for Satisib i ctiOn made by the Marquis de Villamatina for the unprovoked attack (of whi c h full particulars are given in La Presse) by some drunken Neapolitan soldiers uPQn a Nin4 . ll paytY of Sardinian Tcll9 were walking quietly about the streets, is con firmed; and an indemnity of 20,000 francs has been awarded by the government. It would appear that this affair, trifling as it was at the outset, was very near precipitating a general . _ _ rising of the inhabitants against the Royal _ .. ;coops. Three of the Piedmontese were wounded severely in the affray. As to the demand of a similar nature which is stated to have been made by M. Brenier, I have not seen any further par- iculars stated. The Couriere Mercantile states the loss of the Neapolitans at the taking of Reggio, by Gari baldi, at 500 killed and wounded, and 400 pri- soners ; and it mentions that the Garibaldians found in the fort a large quantity of bombs, howitzers, and cannon, amongst which were two 80-pounders and six 36-pounder. Paixhams, besides muskets and quantities of provisions, horses, and males. The fact of the capture of an English steamer in the port of Genoa, by a party of the volunteers, is confirmed. The name of the ship is, I believe, the Orwell. It appears that 70 or 80 Garibaldians had previously taken their pas sage in this steamer, and had got on board before the captain arrived. In his absence they ordered the engineers to get up the steam, and on their refusal they made the whole of the crew pri soners, and took possession of the vessel. This took place at night, and before eleven o'clock the steamer, with a new crew, quitted the port. Of course such a proceeding is wholly inexcusable and unjustifiable. It is thought here, that Benevento, after what occurred in the attempt of General Lamoriciere to relieve that fortress, is as good as lOst to the Pope. It is a territory of limited extent, placed in the very middle of the Neapolitan territory ; and as the in surgents can only be attacked by troops with out arms—the existing treaties not permitting of the passage of an armed force through the inter vening territory, and the Neapolitan Ministry being resolved to adhere to their obligations in this respect—it is plain the insurgents will neces sarily continue to have their own way. Startling news from Rome itself is also " imminent,"—that is quite clear. The speech of M. de Persigny still farms the prominent topic of discussion here. The address has all the character of a manifesto, and it is so regarded; and the general persuasion seems to be, that its principal points were agreed upon between the Emperor and his devoted friend, before his departure, while it is remarked as a singular coincidence that at the very moment when the President of the General Council of the Loire was telling his colleagues and the world at large that the treaties of 1816 were virtually abolished, the authors of the speech of Queen Victoria were proclaiming that these treaties were at the present more binding than they had been for some time past. The coldness of the present relations between France and England has had the effect of drawing a considerable degree of attention to. the defensive works, which are in the course of being executed in the Gironde, and which are the subject of a good deal of comment just now, in the local journals. Some officers of the Etat Major have also, I hear, been instructed to form a camp near Bordeaux, and a railway is about to be constructed between some given point on the banks of the Gironde and Verdun, in order to unite that river with Chercut. The forts of Royan and Blaye are also about to be put in a state of complete defence. All these circum stances would lead to the conclusion that the. confidence which has been expressed by Count de Persigny, in the re-establishment of a general entente cordiale among all the Powers of Europe, is not entirely shared by the Imperial Govern ment, at all events. M. de Morny, strange to. say, does not, after all, mean this year to preside at his General Council. He assigns, as a reason for his absence, that the state of his health detains him at Ems. There was a report that M. de Catonr had been in Paris, but it turns out that it was his elder brother who has been here, and who has just left for Turin. The arrival at Marseilles of a daughter of Gari baldi is announced. At Toulon, orders have been received for the arming of "la Batterie cuirasses," the Devastation, and of the gun-boat "No 11," in order that the Emperor may have an opportunity of personally witnessing the preformances and advantages of these new armaments. The gun-boat, which is similar in build to the canal boats, is to be made to pass through the Southern Canal to Lorient. On the 26th the frigate cuirasses La Gloire, made a second trip to sea, and it is asserted that it was a most successful one, and that "the speed of the • steel plated vessel was prodigious." The usual full details are given of the reception' of the Emperor, and Empress at Chambery, and according to a correspondent of the Patric, " Napoleon 111. has done more for Savoy, than has been One for it for half a century previously." The opening of the sporting season in the Departments of the Eure and Loire, which was originally fixed for Saturday, the Bth September, i s postponed to the Saturday following, owing to the backward state of the crops. A similar postponement has also, I observe, been made in other districts. It would surely be well if things. could be so arranged in England. At the Bourse the same absence of animation continues. For three hours yesterday the market —far from brightening up, as was expected 1t the prospect of to-day's settlement--presented an uninterrupted degree of calmness.. There was, however, towards the close of business, a slight tendeney towards improvement. The Three per ant. Rentes advanced to 68f. 10c. THEATRE ROYAL.

GLASGOW VO.I O IJISiBERS FOR GARIBALDI. - The number of rohinteers in Glasgow for Garibaldi, up to' Wednesday night, was 205. A committee was elected,. and drill commenced yesterday. About 400 personß attended the meeting in Glasgow on Wednesday Right. LORD DERBY'S TREAT TO THE VOLUNTERRS.---. During the present week the paramount topic of con-. versation in this town has been the great sight at Knowsley to-day. Various rumours have been flying about, as to the exact quantity of " good things " which. the noble earl has provided for his guests, and which, has been represented to be truly fabulous. Upon this subject, however, we may state as a fact that six cart loada of provisions, drawn by chesnut horses, passed Birchfleld Barracks yesterday, en code for Knowsley. A NEW ITALIAN PRIMA DONNA.— The Italian journals are filled with accounts of the successes of a new musical star, Warne Galetti, who, from all descriptions, appears to, be the genuine successor of Pasta and Mali bran. Her voice is said to possess a power of reaching the feelings unknown in our day, while her acting is in comparable. Her last character at' Brescia was Norma, which is described by the papers as creating au enthu siasm unprecedented in that musical city since the days of Pasta. After the' opera her health was drunk in the principal cafes as the Prima Norma del Mondo ! Making due allowance for the exuberance of Italian superlatives, there appears no doubt that Madame Galetti is rally a.great singer and actress. Sh e i s engaged for the next season at La Scala.
