A telegram, dated Palermo, 'July 31, states that Sig nor Depretis will modify the Ministry by choosing only such members as are favourable to Italian unity. Signor Crispi will re-enfer the Cabinet. Count Litti, says the same telegram, leaves for Turin to-day. By, one of Mr. Reuter's telegrams, dated Messina, July 29, we are informed that Garibaldi has entered the town amid great enthusiasm. The convention signed between General Clary and Colonel Medici stipulates the evacuation of Sicily. 4,000 Neapolitans will guard the citadel, and will not bombard the town unless Garibaldi attacks the citadel. The outer forts are occupied by Colonel Medici. The artillery of Garibaldi has arrived. The Neapolitan troops are demoralised, and refuse to fight. Commatial We are indebted to Messrs. Taylor, Tipper, and Co., for the following ntes of freight to the United States:— COAL EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. ject of Sicilian finance. I observe, among a list of decrees just published in the official journal of Sicily, the following arrangements, which are resorted to for the obtaining of supplies :—" IV. The Financial Secretary of State is authorised to issue, in anticipation, on the security of the reve nue returns, Treasury Bonds of the value of ten ducats, payable to bearer, to the amount of 400,000 ducats. V. From the proceeds of th? sums receivable by the Treasury from the sup pression of the orders of the Jesuits and Liguo rians, there shall be deducted an annual sum of 18,000, which shall be applied to purposes of public instruction"—not the worst object, by any means, to which money so got should be devoted. But what is to be done with the balance ? Article VI. also, I observe, provides that the funerals of all who have died in defence of the national cause shall be conducted at the public expense.

The Freight Market is depressed this week, owing to the abundance of tonnage offering. For short voyages rates are much lower, and but little inquiry for ships. East India and China freights are weaker, but the report of the homeward rates having fallen, has checked any considerable reduc tion in outward rates. Pacific and Mediterranean freights are unchanged. Brazilian and West India rates are fully 3s per ton lower. To U. S. ports freights remain without quotable change from last week.

The creditors of Mr. Hacker, tanner, have to day accepted a composition for ss. The liabilities amount to £44,432, and the assets to £9,696. In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day the Funds were firm at yesterday's improvement. The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money . ~ Account Exchequer Bills Bank Stock . Three per Cents. Next Account . . . . The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : The English funds this morning opened at another advance of id., which was fully supported to the close, buoyancy being observable in nearly all departments of the Stock Exchange. In the discount market the demand continues moderate ; but at the Bank, prom exceptional circumstances, the applications to-day were larger than yesterday. The Frinch funds show only a recovery of per cent. The corn market this morning was firm, at nominally Monday's rates. No bullion was taken from the bank to-day. All the lately arrived American gold has been purchased for the continent, and the whole of the amount from Australia by the Kent is also expected to be seat away. In the railway market the announcement of the proposed midland dividend of 61 per cent. per annum, a rate exceeding public expectation, caused a further general advance.— 3 6 pti 228 30 93i 4 A considerable effect has been produced in the Stock Exchange by the publication of tie remarkable letter of the Emperor Napoleon to the Count de Persigny. There is a strong disposition to believe that the profes sions of amity towards England, contained in this document, though probably to a great extent dictated by the distrustful attitude of Germany, may be accepted as marking a real improvement in the political situation, and, as adjourning indefinitely, the prospect of a rupture between England and France. The funds have risen per cent., and closed at nearly the best point of the day. The improvement extended to most of the other depart ments of the Stock Exchange. Investments in sound securities are increasing. British railway stocks were particularly buoyant, notwithstanding the approach of the 4th of the month. The demand at the discount office at the Bank continues limited, and in the open market best bills are taken at a fractional reduction from the Bank rate.—Daily News. The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day experienced a further considerable rise for British Stock, though only partially supported up the afternoon. Midland Stock was dealt in as high as 130.

ROTTEN STATE Of MORTAR VESSELS IN THE-MED WAY.—In consequence of the representations which have been made to the Admiralty, relative to the state of the mortar vessels laid up in ordinary at Yantlet Creek, Chatham, many of which, if not the whole, are rapidly falling into decay, such as to render their fitness for fur ther service exceedingly doubtful, a patty of shipwrights from Chatham dockyard have been employed in opening the various beats and removing the outer coverings for the purpose of exposing the timbers to the atmosphere, in order to arrest the progress of the dry rot, which is making such serious havoc among them. It is evident, however, that this remedy, even if it answer at all, will only prove a partial one, and some other plan must be devised for Preservin g the fleet of mortar vessels now in the 'Medway, or the consequences will inevitably be that when wanted on a sudden emerge nc y the whole of these useful vessels will be discovered !. 0 ke utterly unfit for service. mwf • Ili i l l t= 4 Liver-1 E.

In the House of Commons yesterday, Sir George Bowyer asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Garibaldi, having taken possession of Milazzo, punished with death thirty-nine of the inhabitants for having fought against him, and in defence of the rights of their sovereign. • Lord John Russell replied that he had received no information on the subject. The House having resumed consideration of the report of the Committee on Fortifications and Works, Mr. Lindsay moved as an amendment a resolution that, as the main defence of Great Britain against aggression depends on an efficient navy, it is not now expedient to enter into a large expenditure on permanent land fortifications. He pointed out, in a long speech, the immense expense, not less than £50,000,000, to which the proposals of the Commissioners would lead. Steam, of which so much had been said, was more in our favour than against us. In the hour of danger a million of volunteers would annihilate, to a man, the invading army. Our best defence was our trust in a happy, united, and con tented people. Mr. ;Berkeley quoted Lycurgus to show the uselessness of stone walls ; and he denied the asser tion of the commissioners that the British volunteers would not be able to face an invading army. He asked what we were doing with our rifled guns, of which it appeared that there were but two in the Royal Navy, while France had six hundred. The best way to fight a Frenchman was to take him when he was sea-sick upon our own element, to which we had trusted so long—the water. Mr. S. Herbert denied these facts. The Emperor was at this moment strengthening the forts of Cher bourg, of L'Orient, of Brest, of Rochefort, and of Toulon. Mr. Bright said estimates always ended by being doubled, and he felt assured that the ultimate cost would be at least £20,000,000 spent in carrying out the propositions. Further than this, an, increase of 70,000 men to the standing army would be necessary to the defence of the works. As for the commissioners, he never knew an act of greater stupidity—to use a less offensive term, a greater act of lunacy—than their report. If they could get rid of the Foreign-office, its head, the noble lord, its follies, and its superstitions, they might at the same time get rid of the cost of the policy it involved, and trust to their volunteers for their defence. He analysed the report of the Commissioners, declaring that- he had never read an official document so illogical, incoherent, and absurd. He pointed .out at length the inconsistencies and follies of the report, and the absurdities of many of the answers of the witnesses examined. No doubt the people of England were ready with their money, bat it was because they were frightened by the contemptible cowardice of Cabinet Ministers. We were once told that the reign of Victoria was to be a reign of peace, but nqw everything in the court and in the people was war like, and a dangerous spirit was universally infused into the nation, through the ignorance of the masses, the clamours of the service, and the want of courage in the Ministry. Our extravagance would end as it ended in other nations—an exiled and an overthrown aristocracy. Mr. Newdegate observed that the speech just made would have been appropriate if we were preparing an expedi tion against France, but it had little to do with a pro- POsal to defend our arsenals. The resolution was • founded on the simple principle of defence, and it was because. Mr. Bright did not wish the country to be inde pendent that he opposed it. Sir G. Goldsmit contended that the mode of borrowing the money upon terminable annuities must entail an annual charge manifold larger than would arise under more economical methods of rising the reqUired loan. Lord R. Montague supported the motion. Mr. White thought that even an inva sion would not be au unmitigated calamity, as it would knit all classes in the country together, and by attesting the spirit and loyalty of the working men, secure for them a better Reform Bill than had ever been offered before. Sir C. Napier said if a sufficient naval arma ment were but kept up, invasion would be rendered im possible. Land fortifications were sheer absurdities. Mr. Corry maintained that the English navy was still,inade quote for the defence of the country. Mr. B. Osborne enquired why the Chancellor of the Exchequer had told the House nothing about this vote for fortifications when bringing forward his budget in Feb ruary. He could not support any vote which com prised a large expenditure for land fortifications. After some . explanation from Mr. Sydney Herbert, Mr. Horsman defended the COmmissioners and their report. Sir F. Smith approved of the plan of defence so far as related to seaward fortifications, but censured the pro posal to construct expensive works on the landside. Lord Palmerston observed that the great object to be obtained was to secure the dockyards and their precious contents from a comp de fnain. Strength at home was the high assurance for the maintenance of peace with all the world. Sir M. Peto having briefly spoken in oppo sition to the scheme of defence, the committee divided : For the resolution, 268 ; for the amendment, 39 majority, 229. The resolution which granted £2,000,000 for the expense of fortifications and works during the year, was then agreed to. The Prince of Wales and suite landed at St. John's on the 24th ult., amid great enthusiasm, received a deputation and addresses, and held a levee. On the 26th his Royal Highness attended a regatta and state ball. The PrinCe would leave -on the 26th. During his presence all business was suspended. . 2 . T... 2 .... 3 . . A telegram has been received, stating that, on July 27, General Clary's force in the citadel of Messina did not consist of more than 2,.000 men, and that the rest of his army had embarked for Reggio and Naples. The fact, therefore, seems to be, that he has no idea of holding either the citadel or any other place in Sicily, and that the armistice, so far from being a symptom of Garibaldi having given way to the pressure put upon him, has only been concluded in order to give the rem nant of the Neapolitan forces time to evacuate the island completely without further bloodshed. A private letter from Italy states that an insurrection in the Marches, which will very probably bring General Lamoriciere to the test, may be considered as imminent. M. Riscasoli came hurriedly to Turin from Florence, in obedience to a telegraphic message, to consult about this serious matter. He has gone back again, and his instructions are supposed to be not in any way un favourable to the movement. With reference to the armistice at Messit.ia, the Opinione Nationale explains that, since Garibaldi can go to Naples whenever he likes, there was no reason why he should sacrifice men to conquger a citadel whibh must necessarily fall into his power when he shall be master of Naples, where, according to all the eor respOndence, his influence is daily increasing, and he is in reality more King than Francis ll.' One of the con ditions of the convention is, that the soldiers of the two camps are to circulate freely at Messina, Syracuse, and Angosta. It is manifest that the two armies will more or less fraternise, and we shall be surprised if ultimately besieger and besieged do not march together to Naples. The Bourse was better under the influence of the Emperor's letter, the text of which has been sent by telegraph from London. It is now considered doubtful whether the Syrian expedition will...take place at all. The Queen and the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princess Alice, Prince Arthur, and several of the younger members of the royal family, will leave Osborne_ on Monday next for Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort will dine at the palace that evening, and depart by railway the same evening for Edinburgh. It will be recollected that on a previous occasion a night journey was performed by the Queen and Royal party on her progress to the north. On Tuesday, according to arrangements, her Majesty will review the Scottish volunteers in the vicinity of Modern Athens. The Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, the Secretary of State for War, will be the Secretary of State who will accompany the Queen to Scotland. It is fully expected that the volunteer military display will be on a grand scale. The Marquis of Breadalbane has left London to make pre parations for the volunteers from his extensive estates in Perthshire, a large body of stalwart Highlanders of his lordship's clan having been drilled and otherwise prepared for the review. The Duke of Atholl will attend, accompanied by a large corps of his Highlanders from Blair Atholl and its neighbourhood. The Duke of Buccleuch, as lord-lieutenant of the county, and a host of the Scottish nobility, purpose to be present at the spectacle, which is expected to fully equal the memorable assemblage of the clans which took place on the occasion of George IV.'s first visit to Edinburgh in 1822. The Carlingford Lough Regatta has been fixed to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 7th and Bth August, when the different railway and steam-packet companies will obligingly have such arrangements made respecting the conveyance of passengers as will enable parties at a distance to be present on so interesting and exciting an occasion. This brilliant affair takes place, as our readers know, under the patronage of the Marquis of Downshire and some half-score other distinguished noblemen. The prizes are of very great value, and not less than nineteen in number. The sporta will wind up with a grand display of fireworks. At the Stamford election nomination yesterday, Alderman Sydney, Lord Landon, and Mr. Chadwick were proposed. The show of hands was in favour of the alderman. A poll was demanded on behalf of , Lord Landon. AN IMPERIAL THIEF DETECTED. WHEN rogues fall out, sometimes the truth appears. France and Russia, we are told, have had a serious split anent the Syrian question ; and it is in consequence of this disagreement, if we are to believe the Paris correspondents of the Daily News and the Express, that the Conferences have been broken up sine die. Russia, it is an nounced, claimed the execution of certain promises which the Emperor had made some time since, in pursuance of which the entire Eastern question should be raised at the first opportunity ; and, in fact, insisted that the moment had arrived for the partition of Turkey. Russia was ready to send 100,000 men to make a short end of the business, but had no notion of a restricted intervention in Syria. It did not, however, suit the 'Emperor's purpose to come into this scheme 'just now. We published yesterday a more vague statement as to the demands of Russia—namely, that it insisted upon inserting a clause in the conven tion giving the Powers the right to interfere not only.. in Syria, but in any part of the Ottoman Empire where disturbances might break out. That report is. perfectly consistent with the one now given forth, the latter being only a little more explicit and better defined ; so that if we are to believe our informant, Russia now avows that some time since it entered into a secret treaty with the •French Emperor for' the open ing up of the entire Eastern question, and' the partition of Turkey at the earliest opportn, ,pity ; and justly holding that the present disturbance affords an excellent opportunity for carrying out the dishonest paction, if it is to be carried out 'at all, it insists upon its immediate fulfilment, or it will have nothing whatever to do with the intervention in. Syria. Now or never, says Russia. Not just now, says NAPOLEON:' Then never, rejoins Russia ; and so the murder comes out.. We had almost forgotten the report which gained considerable currency many months ago, to' the effect that a secret treaty had then been entered into between France and Russia, the object of which, it was asserted, nearly affected England: It will be remembered that the rumour led to some c orrespondence between the French and English Governments, whi c h was put an end to by an apparently satisfactory, but still ambiguous denial, on the part of the former, as to the existence of " a.t rea t y ;" but there was a mysterious reservation as to some sort of agreement having been mutually arrived at—but not " a treaty "—which, we were t o believe, England had no right to enquire_ after, and was slot entitled. to be officially informed of. We are now, in all probability, about' to receive some information which will throw light upon that mysterious com pact. We can almost at once arrive at the cell elusion that the original story was substantially true, and that at the time referred to, notwith standing the French denials, some suc h arrangement was made between France and Russia as that which the latter now throws in Lops NAPOLEON'S teeth as a broken bargain... What are we to think of Louis NAPOLEON'S honesty if it shall appear that he has all this , time been under secret obligations to Russia to upset all that England combined with France to aceomplish at such enormous cost of blood and treasure in the Crimea ? The Savoy and Nice business was bad enough, but such a disclosure of treachery would certainly out-Herod HEltop.' The rupture with Russia, and the abandonment of the secret treaty—if so it be- 7 4hrows another ' light Upon the Emperor's letter to M. PER3IGNY-- a letter which was, no doubt,- written specially and deliberately for the purpose of being publicly circulated in England. Assuming the truth of the report, we can now understand what his Majesty means when he says, in his opening sentence, " affairs appear to me to be so com plicated." We can more clearly perceive what causes operated in the Imperial mind to make him so anxious to conciliate and reassure us. Like a criminal certain of immediate detection, he rushes into the arms of the police, and assures them that, whatever anyone may say to the contrary, "he has had but one thought, one object—to inaugurate a new era of peace, and to live on - the best terms with all his neighbours, and especially with England !" Thus about to be prematurely unmasked in his wicked designs upon the East, in which he could not fail to encounter the English force, how whiningly he beseeches us to believe that " his army and his fleet have in them nothing of a threatening cha racter." In expectation of such a fact as that alluded to being published to the world, it is all very well for him to declare sanctimoniously, " I have neither done, or even thought, anything which could alarm any one." But Imperial men dacity reaches its climax when he winds up the first and leading paragraph of his adroit letter by solemnly and significantly asserting with guilty prescience that "the interest of France is that Turkey „should live as long as possible." Con summate hypocrisy! It is difficult to say whether his treachery to England or to Russia is most abhorrent. In like manner he proceeds to argue that the crime laid to his charge is impossible, because he has enough to do at home without going abroad for plunder Or employment. " Don't, "he says, " don't, pray, think harshly of me because I offended you in the little affair of Nice and Savoy. I really could not help myself out of that fix. I won't do it again. Let us be honest men, as we are, and not like thieves who desire to cheat each other !" Who is the thief who desires to cheat ? He never could have suspected England' of desiring to cheat him ; but his own conscience if he has one, may have told him that there is " a thief desiring to cheat" in the question—and that none other than himself. • We strongly suspect that this latest version of the cause of breaking up the Conferences, affords the real key to the interpretation of the Imperial missive to the English people—for as such it must be looked upon. Louis NAPOLEON always falls back most fawningly upon England when he is in his greatest difficulties. This time he has done so, no doubt, with the double hope of securing her aid against Russian indignation, and of averting the wrath of England in the prospect of her discovering his base arts to betray her. He has either found it impossible at present to carry out his designs against us, or has adopted some new scheme of mischief, or partly both ; and, anticipating his inability to conceal his Russian intrigue, he would anticipate the irritating disclosure, and seek to allay our fears only until he find quiet and leisure to re arrange his plans, and enter upon some new course for the attainment of his unscrupulous and unhallowed ambition. This reckless and dia bolical process of playing at shuttlecock with the peoples and governments of Europe cannot last long. The truth will out, and LOUIS NAPO LEON_beCOMeS more exposed to Europe in all his naked deformity and ugliness; and it becomes more and more clearly the painful but irritable mission of England to remove this imperial mis creant from the exercise of a power which he knows only how to abuse. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday, August 2, 1860. I find I was quite right in the statement which I gave you yesterday of the obstacles in the way of concluding the Convention relative to affairs in Syria. England is much cooler in the matter than either France or Russia, and she finds in the demands put forward by Russia for extend ing the intervention to Bulgaria and Bosnia, the • means of gaining time, and thus indirectly befriending the policy of the Porte, while France at the same time finds her projects hampered and neutralised by this antagonism. Hence the order for the departure of her impatient troops from Toulon is still delayed. The semi-official Paris journals have affected to pooh-pooh these difficul ties. They hays asserted that the settlement of one or two matters of insignificant detail alone stand in the way of the signature of the agree ment ; and in yesterday.evening's papers, beyond a parting hit on the part of the Petrie at the Morning Post, for laying suck ridiculous stress upon the treaty which has been signed between the Druses and the Maronites, the subject is not even alluded to by any of them. The Morning Post seems to have remarked that " theindependence of Turkey constitutes the first principle of the treaty of 183:6, and this treaty permits the Ottoman Govern ment to demand that its authority be respected, so long as it shall not be demonstrated that it cannot control the acts of its own subjects ;" and to this the Patric, punning on the word "controler," observes that, " what the Porte can control at this moment in the mountains of Lebanon, is the number of assassins by the number of victims ;" and it asks, "can this bloody contra then satisfy Europe ?" But it is important to keep in View that it is now alleged, on what appears tolerable authority, that the Maronites are quite as much to blame as the Druses for originating these dis orders ; and that as regards sympathy, except for the Christians who are not Maronites, there is very little, if any, to spare between the savage belligerents. According to the latest accounts received ri a Genoa, the Christians in Damascus are indebted for their protection to the bravery of Abd-el-Bader and his Algerines. It is pleasing; though certainly singular, to note the varied liberality which "Jews, infidels, and Christians" evince towards the distressed and in humanly treated victims of these outrages.: Be sides the generous contributions from the Chris tians of Ilrestern Europe, King Otho has autho rised the formation of committees to collect subscriptions ; and a considerable relief, both in money, clothing, and food, has already been for.: warded. M. Cremieux, a noble-minded Hebrew, has collected 50,000 francs for the same purpose , and, finding that his co-religionists in Bourdeaux had handed their contributions to the Archbishop of that city, he has imitated their example by transmitting the whole of the above amount to the Archbishop of Paris ; at the same time inviting all the members of his persuasion, for the future to join their subscriptions to those of their fellow citizens in thin city, Catholic and Protestant : and to crown a 11; the members of the Moorish Embassy here have just forwarded to Syria the handsome donation of 10,000 francs for the same object. I still think it prudent to reserve expressing any definitive opinion, respecting the convention alleged to have been signed by Garibaldi and the Neapolitan General. I Cannot bring myself to believe that the always victorious Dictator would act so contrary to the advice of his best friends - and his own conviction. It is to be rem irked also, that the, news comes from Naples, a fact which is the very reverse of a guarantee of its veracity ; and that the account which is given of the terms of the truce, are vague and most un likely.

PARIS, August 2. 3 20 P.M.—The Bourse bas been quiet, and close at 68f. 15c., or 30c. lower than yesterday. In Naples, it would appear from a recent tele gram, that the police are attempting to resume their functions, and that they propose to begin at the public press. An ordinance from the prefect has just seen the light, in which he threatens to take measures against the scoundrelly " writers, without ideas, without any form of style, I will not say Italian, but human." In fact, he pro scribes all printers who shall publish any writings without the author's name, without 'prejudice to all the parties concerned being prosecuted for damages. The despatch in which M. Thouvenel invited the Cabinet of Vienna to consent to the elevation of Spain into the rank of a first rate power, and the reply of the Austrian Government to that proposition, are now both published. Austria, in her answer, says that she recognises in the past career of Spain, and in the position which he has been able to reconquer for herself, reasons for entertaining the proposal of France, but she makes a distinct reservation, that the admission of Spain to this rank shall not form a precedent as regards any other power. There have been some important changes in the ownership of buildings and building lands here of late. Some time ago the Government exchanged with the City of Paris several large properties, and among others the old range of stables of the Roule, in exchange for the Isle of Cygnes. The grounds on which these stables are built are to be put up for sale, on the 14th instant, in a single lot, at the price of two million francs. The City has just purchased from Monsieur Dejean, in order to complete the boulevard of Prince Eugene, the theatre of the Cirque Imperial, at the price of 2,140,000 f. The Theatre Lyceum, in the Place de Chatelet, is already built as far as the first story. Talking of purchases, I see that the Queen 'mother, Theresa of Naples, has purchased the villa of Schwenderick, which belonged to Baron Pereira, at the price of 375,000 f., and that the workmen are hastening to prepare the man sion for the reception of her Majesty and all her family. The arrival at the Cape of Good Hope is announced of his Imperial Majesty's steam trans port Japon, from Toulon, on her way to China. This ship is the third transport which has been purchased in England by France. The two others, the Weser and European, which sailed before her, have already arrived at Shanghai. The Japon carries a portion of the materiel for the construction of the steam gunboats destined to operate in the Chinese rivers. The steam corvette Eurydice, which has been thrice round the world, and which is undergoing extensive alteration at Toulon, with the view of transforming her into a screw steamer, was hauled up into the graving dock last Saturday, by the aid of powerful cap stans. The price of bread in Paris, from yesterday's date, is fixed as follows :---First quality, 40 cents per kilogramme ; second quality, 32 cents per kilogramme. The rumours which had induced the recent sudden .ri,\l-ocTree movement on the Bourse are no longer circulated. Purchasers have taken courage, and the market for money has been very satisfactory. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) BAVARIA. MUNICH, August 2. W Baron e ndland, Minister of the King of Bavaria in Paris, has arrived here. He is about to join the King at Qrafenberg, and will accom pany his Majesty on his visit to the Court of Berlin. SICILY. THE ARMISTICE. The Paris correspondent of the Times says it is rumoured that an armistice for an unlimited period has been signed in Sicily between the bellige rents. In consequence, hostilities are not to be resumed in the island, and each party will con tinue to occupy the position he now holds. The citadel of Messina, which is essentially necessary for the security of the two Straits, is to remain in the hands of the Neapolitans until the conclu sion of the negotiations new pending. HUNGARY. Tranquility had been re-established at Pesth, but the situation of affairs is still critical in the kingdom of Hungary. The wishes of the peopl e have been for the first time specified with preci sion in an address which the municipal authorities of one of the towns has presented to the new . crovernor. They openly demanded the restoration of the old Constitution, and the convention of a National Diet. CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAIL. The Simla is safe at Aden, with main -shaft broken.

The following appeared in our later editions c f yesterday : THE MINISTRY AND THE _CUSTOMS DUTY ON PAPER-0 Mr. Puller has altered his proposed amendment upon Mr. Gladstone's motion for the reduction of the present custom duties. In its revised form it stands as follow :—That, without desiring to pre judice the question of a reduction at a future period of the customs duty on books and paper, this committee does not think fit, at present, to assent to such a reduction. The Morning Herald says, the Government are endeavouring to make the motion a party question, and to frighten the House into assenting to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's motion, by threats of dissolution and resignation. BANQUET TO LORD CLYDE. Last night Lord Clyde was entertained at a magnificent banquet by the Fishmongers' Com pany. The Prime Warden, in proposing the health of the noble lord, claimed for him the title of Pacificator of India. Lord Clyde, in acknowledging the toast, paid a high compliment to Earl Canning, the Governor- General of Indi a , say i ng that tohim, above all, does England owe a debt of gratitude. He said he thought it right that Englishmen should know the merits of that great man, whose prudence and calmness in difficulty, whose never disturbed self possession exercised so powerful an influence on the suppression of the mutiny. The noble lord also spoke of the military capacity of his country men. He said, I have been fifty years a soldier, and I can tell you that the men of England, Ire- - land, and Scotland, have not deteriorated : they are as obedient soldiers, when properly officered, as ever served in the British army. Admiral Sartorius, who responded to the toast on behalf of the navy, said that modern warlike improvements had entirely changed the whole system of defence, and increased the advantage of the defence over the attack an hundredfold. As a seaman, he said it was impossible for any successful invasion of our shores to take place by ships. He was not disposed to distrust the Emperor of the French ; but, he would say, rely on the courage and decision which had in former times secured the safety of the country. Sir Charles Wood was present. The other Cabinet ministers were attending a privy council at Osborne. POLITICAL LEADERS ON THE EMPEROR'S LETTER. The Times believes the English people are disposed to receive this letter in a spirit of a fair and honourable consideration ; but it cannot see any reason for discontinuing any of the purely defensive preparations we have set on foot. We cannot afford to exist on sufferance ; if we are to continue a great power it must be by our own strength, and not by the permission of any one else. The Times adds, the condition of friendship between England and France is equality. We should be most happy to see France reducing the amount of her forces by land and by sea, because that would render a similar reduction on our part possible, but it ought to be clearly understood that it is by the armaments, and not by the professions, or even the intentions of France, that we must measure our military and naval strength. Let France disarm, and the effect would immediately be felt in the pacific tendency of every capital in Europe ; but, so long as she continues her present state of preparations, she imposes on her neigh bours the absolute necessity of maintaining a corresponding force ; and we trust that we give no offence to any one by expressing our resolution to maintain it. The Herald remarks that if affairs are compli cated, and if mistrust has been excited every where since the war in Italy, it is the French. Emperor, and he alone, who is responsible, both for difficulty and suspicion. But if peace is his, great object, he will meet with no obstacles from any English Government. It is only the sense of danger and of inadequate defence that has. aroused Englishmen. THE LIVERPOOL ROYAL BANK. The city article of the Herald states that Mr.. Hewat, the manager of the London Joint Stock Bank, who is the agent of the Royal Bank of Liverpool, went down to Liverpool on Tuesday, and returned yesterday. His report is. stated to be most encouraging. After noticing the slight run on the bank, in consequence of the erroneous reports of losses from failures in the leather trade, the Times city article says the available assets of the bank ine cash and good bills are unquestionably large, and: adds that the tendency to distrust steadily sub sided. THE EMPEROR'S LETTER AND THE STOCK EXCHANGE. The Herald's city article says that the profes sions were considered to be expressed in so un equivocal a manner, that the speculators who had sold for the fall evidently sought to terminate their engagement at the first sacrifice. The Daily News says there was during the day a strong supposition to believe the professions of amity as marking a real improvement in the political situation, and as adjourning indefinitely the prospect of a rupture between England and France. The Times' city article admits the very favour able impression created by the letter, but states that by the more cautious portion of the mercan tile community it is regarded simply as a move to counteract the effect of the epooeh of Lord Palmerston on the fortification question. No intelligence has yet been receiNc4 flit over-due Calcutta and China mails. The estate of Messrs. Freeland Bros,, of Man-. Chester, shows less than 2s. Qd. in the pound.

SHIPS BUILDING IN CHATIIADI,--- The following screw steam ships building in this dockyard are rapidly proceeding with - ---Rattlesnake, 21 guns; BulWark, 91; Royal Oak, 81 ; Reindeer, 17 ; Undaunted, 51 ; and Belvidere, 51. The Undaunted will very soon be launched, thereby adding another of our powerful steam ships to the.division of the steam reserve fleet. In dock is the Arethesa, 51, and the Bombay, 80: PURI , F, LITERATURE SOCIETY OR LONDON.—The last report of the society contains the follewing paaagraph : consequence of the public discussion on tla,e, accounts of charitable societies, the committee deemed it advisable to submit their books to the, inspwtion of a public accountant, and the firm of Messrs. Quitter, Ball, and Jay was selected for that purpose. These gentlemen report : We found the. accounts carefully and accurately kept, and duly supported by vouchers.' EXECUTION AT igGT.IIN (4 , II A S I--On . Wednesday morn-, ing, John Fenton underwent the extreme penalty of the law in front of the County Gaol, .Nottingham. Tne prisoner, It will be remembered, was convicted of the wilful murder of Charley Spencer, at Walkeringhans, on. the 6th March. The prisoner underwent his •sentente with great firmness. He stepped slowly and steadily u the scaffold (having previously requested the execu tioner to keep him as short a time as possible), lifted hio eyes to heaven, and, apparently engaged in prayer for a, few seconds. Re scarcely struggled or gave the least sign of life afier the drop fell. He has made no direct confession, but has left a statement which amounts to, an admission of guilt. Re says that he did not commit the murder, but that he was present and lent the mazy his pistols to commit the vikurder„ and that he had part of the booty. Ths,a, statement is utterly inconsistent with the evidence. The unfortunate man took leave of his moiher, wife, and children (three in number), on Saturday. The interview Was a very affecting one. Askren, the same man who hung Dove, was the execu tioner. The. prisoner' stated before his death that if the, itnife, which was found upon him, had -not been taken, ayray, he would not have appeared on the scaffold.
