LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. Ztie arrtton c;f4 arktt. In the Liverpool Cotton Market to-day there was increased strength, in consequence of the private accounts per Persia being unfavourable regarding the growing crop, and a large business was transacted at extreme prices. The sales— including 60 Pernambuco at 7-td to Bd, 120 Maran ham at Bd, 200 Egyptian at 71d to 11d, and 2,000 Surat at 3d to 4:l—amounted to 12,000 bales of which 5,000 were on speculation and for export.

We have had a very steady consumptive demand for Sugar throughout the month, and prices generally have been supported, with the .exception of Bengal Dates, which have been in plentiful supply. The weather, though now fine, has generally been very unsettled, and has pre vented the fruit from ripening. The stocks in the four ports have slightly increased, and are now estimated at 122,000 tons, against 118,000 last year, and 108,000 in 1858. The quantity on the way is less than last year, and with anything like an average consumption, prices ought at least to be supported. The large estimates of the :Mauritius crop were rather reduced by the last mail; but on the other hand, the weather in the lArest Indies, particularly in Barbadoes, had improved, and prospects for average crops were brightening. Molasseb have been in excellent demand, and pxices have further advanced 6d to is p er cwt.; 19s 6d has been realised for two cargoes of Bar badoes to arrive. We have also to report a small parcel of Barbadoes Melado at 28s. Zea zttarittf. • (From T. 4- H. LittLeckie 6- Co.'s Monthly Circular) 9, MINCING -LANE, LONDO.N, Bth September.— The market during the past month has again been quiet, London and country dealers evincing no desire to purchase, except for their immediate requirements. The two mails from China have not brought any political news calculated to cause improvement, while the large proportion of new tea settled, and already on its way to this country, has to some extent nullified the prospect of a short supply for the coming season. The numerous public auctions during the month, the greater portion of which consisted of tea offered " without reserve," have occupied much time. Black : Common Congo u has been sparingly dealt in, a small parcel rea li s i ng is 3d per lb. In flavory kinds there has been a decline of ld per lb, and at this reduction the re has been a moderate demand from the trade. Blackish leaf 3, of which there has been a fair supply on the market, are unsaleable, except at a. fall of 3d to ld per lb. In Monings and Oopacks little has been done. Medium and fine Kaisows have been in better request, a fair business having b een done at abcut 1 ravious rates. Common Taysha ns have been %old in public sale, "without reserve," ld to lid per lb lower, A large quantity of scented' ea Is on offer ; common Caper must be quoted =id per lb lower. Green: There has been t a air inquiry for most medium kinds, young kysons and Gunpowders selling at fully previous market rates. The better grades ha...se been neglected. There have been four public sales since our last - at *liich 65,600 packages passed, of whtiCh 34;706 Were sold, 25,000 being " ivit'hOut reserve." titre. estimate the stock it:. the United KingdoM at' 65,521,000 lbs.. dkainst 64500,000 in 1859, a,r , d 79,726,000 1k 1 . 85'38; quantity .afloat '12;t66,141. lbs. agiiinst A3;355;181 in '1859, ilia 12,914,074 lbs. in 1.858. ItvERPOoL, Bth SeptrAper.—Our market has continued in the sa ie inactive state as noticed for some time past, and closes with increased depression , . The wants of the trade are small; and they refuse to buy in quantity, except at pekes to which holders at present will not submit. We see little chance of improvement so long as the frequent large public auctions, without re serve, are kept up in London or something deci sive occurring in China which would interfere with the shipment of Tea, which-as yet is coming down freely from the interior. There has been a decline in the month of Id. per lb. on flavoury kinds and Black-leaf Congous up to Is. Ad., whilst the finest kinds of 'Toning and Oopack are qiiite neglected. Fine Kaisows are saleable at previous rates. In Scented Teas a fall of id. has been submitted to. Greens remain as before ; but there has been rather more inquiry for fine to finest Gunpowder, which has sold at full rates. Apply to Apply to sitit Inarktf. (From T. 4 le' Co.'s Circular.) There has been a fair business transacted throughout last month, and with little fluctuation in prices. The deliveries of China silk are 5,620 bales, and the present stock is only 17,000 bales., The recent arrivals of new silk suitable for home consumption have been readily sold at an advance of 6d. per lb, but by far the greater proportion still continues to be exported, our own manufacturers and throwsters• being but partially employed. In Bengal silks but little business has been transacted, prices weak and irregular, With out any material reduction. The stock is reduced to 4,700 bales, which is less than has been for many yaars. Italian and Persian Silks : We have no change to report in prices—but little of the new crop has yet arrived, and stocks of both descriptions are extremely light. East India and China Silk. ,riece Goods : The public sales just concluded haVe passed off heavily, 60,300 pieces of Corahs were brought forward, but only 20,000 were disposed of at previous rates. For Bandannoes and Choppahs there was a better demand, and the best qualities were all disposed of at improved rates. Gum Waste Silk, and Knubbs and Husks : Prices have remained steady during the past month, but spinners will only buy for their immediate use—some new Italian Waste has arrived, whichis held for an advance, but spinners decline to purchase. Some large shipments have been made to this country, both from India and China, which may be expected shortly to arrive. .0 'cant Suitt. (From T. 4 H. Littledale 4 Co.'s Monthly Circular) The chief topic of conversation during the month has been the weather, and as rain or sunshine at the moment predominated, so alternated the hopes or fears of the future. The balance of effect, however, has been very trifling, for, notwith standing the continuance of unfavourable weather, the harvest reports from the various counties have rather improved than otherwise—besides which, the fact that any deficiency of Corn at home will be made good from abroad, has become patent to everyone—so that a high price for Bread is now clearly seen to be impossible. It is not likely, therefore, that the consumption of Wool, which has hitherto been well supported, will undergo any diminution ; and, although prices may con tinue to oscillate to some extent until the present phase of things has passed away, they must even tually be maintained. The London Colonial sales, which in our last we reported to be progressing at the rates of the previous series, continued at this range until towards the close, when a decline of ld to lid per lb. took place on inferior and ill conditioned parcels. The entire series contained the enormous quantity of 88,738 bales, taking from the 19th July to the 30th August to dispose of. The London low sales took place on the 31st of AuguSt and Ist September; they contained 1,571 bales East India Wool, which sold with tole rable spirit at the average rates of the last Liver pool sales. English Wools, which at the date of our last were on the decline, have since rallied, and the tone of the market at present is firm, with a tendency upwards. Stocks of low Foreign Wools continue light, and the assortment any thing but tempting ; the amount of business doing, therefore, is limited, and without change in prices: The next Liverpool public sales will com mence on the 19th current. The arrivals of East India Wool up to our date are 13,906 bales. fruit arktt. (From Houghton 4. _Levy's Monthly Circular) Currants: The first arrivals of new Fruit came to hand on the Ist inst. The Semaphore, with about 300 tons, consisting of Vostizza, Patras, and Filatra; the Euphrates with 180 tons Cepha lonia : since then we have the Gertrude with 300 tons Patras, and the Despatch with 250 tons Cephalonia. The market opened at London' at 40s and 425. Some parcels of Cephalonia were sold here to arrive at the former price, but holders generally asked 425; the business, how ever, was only very limited, and since then dealers have held aloof from buying. At public sale to-day there was a large attendance of the trade, but our market being influenced by- the London auctions of Wednesday, only about 50 tons Vostizza were sold. Raisins : We have had one car g o of new Valentias, Vie Cervantes (s.s.) with about 200 tons 35s was the opening price, but sales were shortly made at a slight decline, but the quantity being now much redueed the market, is firm at the quotation. Old Fruit in moderate .demand at 20s to 235. Sultanas—One parcel of Smyrna has arrived but went direct to London. , Persians selling at. 535. Muscatells—A few old selling at 42s to 455. New have opened abroad at high prices. Figs: New Smyrna expected shortly. selling at 32s to 355. Almonds : A few Jordan lately arrived held for extreme rates. French Shell selling to arrive at 43s in export packages. Nuts : Barcelonas have gone off freely at 34s but holders asking an advance has checked busi ness. Brazils in limited demand at 18s. Mes sinas—Market cleared at 38s. Old Green Fruit : A few Oranges arriving bring extreme rates. Lemons selling at low rates, the weather having been against consumption. Port Onions have gone off well at 10s, and no stock left. gates Di treigpt. The Freight Market has been very dull during the week, and only a small business doing. Grain freights have fallen fully ls. to 2s. per quarter. For India and China the demand for ships was limited—to Bombay, 355; Galle, 335; Calcutta, Salt, 45s ; Sincapore, 35s ; Hong Kong, 60s, with option of Shanghae 65s (from - Cardiff).

Business was very languid. The funds were unmarked by even a fractional variation, and closed the same as yesterday. The demand for money at the Bank was a little more active than yesterday, but still moderate. In the Stock Exchange the rates for loans on E ng li s h Government securities was only 11 to 2 per cent. — Daily :Yews. The English funds opened without alteration, and were iubsequently rather flat. A decline of k occurred in the afternoon, but after regular hours there was a return to the opening prices. The demand for discount has again been moderate, though rather larger than yesterday. In the foreign exchanges there was -no change of importance from the rates of last post. There were no bullion operations at the bank. The produce markets during the week have been steady, prices occa sionally shciwing a further slight advance, with con siderable transactions for consumption. Although the better prospects of the harvest have led to increased cOnfldence _there is scarcely any speculative business, and the export demand continues inactive for the season.—Times. The aggregate traffic returns of the United Kingdom, for the week ending September Ist, exceeded by £48,475 the corresponding week of last year. The Times reports that the railway market was less steadily supplied, although in some stocks, especially North British, Great Northern, and Sheffield, there was an advance. London and North-Western, Midland, and Berwick, were fiat, closing a to K per cent. lower. Lancashire and Yorkshire fully maintains the late rise. A telegram from Galway of. the new prices - on the Ist instant announcing a reaction of 2 or 3 per cent. in the principal western railway, stocks, led to a proportionate decline, yesterday afternoon, in the quotations on this side.

General Garibaldi dined at La Cava, 28 miles from Naples, by rail, on Thursday, and supped in the vacant Palace of the Neapolitan Kings on the following even ing. A deputation from the Annexionist Committee invited him to take possession of the Palace, and the chiefs of the National Guard, as soon as they heard that the invitation had been accepted, hastened to arrange with the guest the programme of his reception and entertainment. Francis 11., de serted by everything save his own irresolution, has fled from his capital and from his army, an ti_ cipating probably its flying from him ; and is now a fugitive at the very extremity of the kingdom which he has lost, hesitating whether he shall make a stand behind the well-fortified bulwarks of that Gaeta which has so often, in times past, served his predecessors for a refuge and a rallying point. But his fail is irretrievable. li e i s henceforth politically dead. Already, doubtless, has action been, taken on the part of the other sovereign powers from whose ranks he has disappeared, not only as regards the disposal of the kingdom of Naples, but as regards the consequences which its change of master s will entail on the conduct of their policy with respect to each other. In the Neapolitan territories there will be no more fighting, but the time has come for "reckoning up " the hordes of predatory and fanatical vagabonds who for the present allow General Lamoriciere to call himself their master. Insurrections are cropping out almost everywhere in the Pontifical States ; Victor Emmanuel has been proclaimed in several districts, and delegates from the Marches have left Turin, to solicit the protection of the King of Central and Southern Italy. It is asserted that the French Government has made representations to the Government of Piedmont against yielding to this request •by giving military aid ; but this is a mere rumour of the hour. And besides, it seems impossible that any length of time can elapse without " circumstances " arising to bring about a collision; in which case, almost the first shot that is fired on either side, will be decisive. Of this there can now be no doubt. The National German Association, whose mission seems to be, the reform of the Germanic Constitution, and the terrifying of the retrograde Governments of Germany, has been holding a great meeting at Cobourg. Its discussions were prolonged for three days. The resolutions to which the members pre sent ultimately came, accurately reflect the absence of homogeneousness which pervades the ideas and ten dencies of this body. The chief object of the principal resolution was the establishment of a German Parliament, a central Government for the direction of military affairs, and the representation of Germany abroad. Prussia was invited to put itself at the head of this movement; and, after considerable debate as to the line which the meeting should adopt, with respect to the present position of Austria and its Venetian province, the discussion culminated in a vague expression of sym pathy in behalf of the Italian movement, under a reser vation of the question as to Austria's right to retain and defend that province. The Government of Vienna has declared that it desires to maintain a good understanding with France, as well as the other Powers ; that it has no thought of coalesc ing against France, and sees no necessity for so . doing. What effect will this opportune declaration have on Italian affairs ? It is obviously made with reference to tham. We commented a few days back on. Mr. Lindsay's announced visit to the United States. Since our remarks appeared in print, a letter has appeared in the columns of the:Times from Mr. Lindsay repudiating any official capa city. "I think it right to state," said the member for Newcastle, " that I do not visit that country in any offi cial capacity whatever, and that the Government will not be - responsible for anything I may say or do." This was doubtless intended to be very explicit, but it failed to con vince the public of the truth it was intended to convey, and now Mr. • Lindsay's special organ, the Shipping Gazette, publishes the following statement : 7 " Mr. W. S. Lindsay sailed from Liverpool for the` United States on Saturday, on the mission which, a fortnight since, we were enabled to announce as definitively resolved upon. Since that announcement appeared in our columns, our contemporaries, of all shades of politics, have deeined it necessary to refer to it in the language of doubt or disparagement, but none of them have ventured to deny . its truth. We have now only to say that our . statement respecting the character of Mr. Lindsay's mission was correct in every particular. He goes to Washington at the instance of her Majesty's Governinent.• He is furnished by the Government with documents which• place him in possession of all that has been hitherto done by the Foreign OfSce in the way of correspondence or nego tiations with the American Government ; and Lord Lyons has received express instructions to afford Mr. Lindsay every possible facility in placing his views fairly before_ the Cabinet of. Washington. ... In- short, Mr. Lindsay, except that he does not hold the Queen's commission as special envoy, has possession of all the authority, as a negotiator on maritime affairs, with which it is possible for the advisers of the Crown to invest him, while the mission on which he is about to proceed is one of paramount importance to the carrying trade of this country." Is Mr. Lindsay or his organ to . be believed ? An inquest was held on Saturday last, at the Old King's Head, Islington, London, on the body - of Alfred Edwards, aged 33, who lost his life by the corflagration at the Albion Coffee House, Liverpool-road, Islington, on the morning of Friday last. The body of the deceased presented a sad spectacle, being almost burnt to a cinder. The following verdict was returned by the jury:--" That the deceased Alfred Edwards was found dead in the ruins of a certain house, known as the :Albion Coffee House, in the parish of Islington, and that to the best of the belief of the said jurors the fire by which the said death took place was accidental." The report of the medical officer of the Privy Council has just been issued. It is very short, and may rather be regarded as an index to the really important matters contained in the various reports that have been obtained. The most important portion of its contents is a series of reports from different medical gentlemen, on the com paratively new but frightfully fatal disease "diphthe ria." This disease does not, as in cholera, carry off its victims in from six to eight hours, but its progress is frightfully rapid, and, perhaps, more difficult of cure and eradication than cholera itself. The places where diphtheria has been particularly prevalent have been Coventry, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Mer thyr Tydvil, Nottingham, Leeds and Mapchester, with Chorlton and Salford, and also in one of the smaller Channel Islands ; and enquiries have been made there into the circumstances under which the inhabitants of these places habitually suffer so large a mortality from this fell disease. For ten days the country has-been blessed with as genial weather as the farmer could desire, and the consequences have been almost miraculous. Fields of wheat which, three weeks since, were perfectly green and bending down under the pressure of continued wet, are „now • ready ,for the sickle, as ripe and sound as possible. The prevalence of wet , weather has had the effect of pro ducing a large amount of straw, as well as of filling out the corn ; and where.there have been warm sunshine and dry breezes, the wheathas been brought into excellent con dition. From all parts of the country now comes the echo of rejoicing; and in nearly every county in England the prospects of the harvest are most encouraging. • This favourable change of weather has already produced . marked effects. Wheat has fallen on - an average of not less than 12s. a quarter, ind every market day it, is likely to go still lower. The fall in the price of corn will be naturally followed by that of butchers' 'meat, which is now exorbitantly high. There is, however, no good . without its alloy ; though the wheat crop has quite recovered itself, it is not so with the potato. In this important crop there will be a sad falling off. At present, potatoes are dear; in a week or two they will be marvellously cheap, but this cheapness will be of but short duration. The wet has, in many districts, made such fearful , havoc in this most necessary esculent, that one may travel potato fields for miles, and hardly find one that is not more or less diseased. The potato crop is in many instances looked upon by the growers as quite gone, and as soon as the wheat harvest is over they will dig the potatoes up as rapidly as possible, and send them to market. A, glut' and then a scarcity will be the necessary con sequence. This is much to be deplored, because the potato is emphatically the poor man's food. The yield is enormous, perhaps more so than for many years past, but the wet, which facilitated the growth of the plant has unfortunately engendered the disease. From the manufacturing districts the accounts during the past week have been of a more satisfactory character. At Leeds an increased business has been done in the woollen cloth trade, chiefly in heavy goods for the winter demand. At Huddersfield and Bradford there has been more inquiry for the home marlcets. At Man chester, a favourable effect has been produced by the beneficial change in the weather, and prices have shown more firmness. The cotton hoSiery trade at Nottingham has been active, and a slight improvement has also shown itself in the lace departments. Business at Liecester has been steady, and most of the operatives have been fray employed in the completion of out-standing orders for the winter: •, . - By an act just published (23 and 24 Vic., c. 116), on and after the let January last all county coroners are to be paid a salary, instead of fees, mileage, and allowances. The annual salary (payable quarterly) is to be on the average of five years' income of the office. The Lord Chancellor can remove a coroner. On Saturday last the inquest was resumed at the Turners' Arms, Helrnshore, with regard to the late accident on the East Lancashire line. The court sat nine hours and a quarter, and at a quarter past six o'clock it was adjourned until this (Monday) morning, at half-past nine o'clock. All the missing shacklings and side chains have been found. The four carriages, which were viewed by the jury, at the Helmshore station were Birkenhead carriages, an h d the shackling which broke turns out to be, not one of those belonging to the Birkenhead Company, but one stamped with the i nitials of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company. *,,,* On account of an extra pressure of adver tisements we aro obliged to omit the half-yearly report of the council of the Chamber of Com merce. A full report of the meeting will be given in our impression of to-morrow. THE DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1860.

VOLUNTEER EXTRAVAGANCE. cost. THE success and effectiveness of the Volunteer movement are best proved, perhaps, by the uni versal expression of anxiety lest any element should exist, or any measure be wanting, in the system, as now organised, whereby the perma nency of the force should be in anywise endan gered. Foremost among the dangerous symptoms which have attracted attention is the disposition, supposed to have been manifested by too many of the corps, and their officers, to indulge in extra vagance. The Volunteer, being essentially a self supporting movement, necessarily throws a good deal of expense upon all connected with it, but more especially upon those who have permitted themselves to be promoted to the front as leaders. However economically conducted, there are cer tain items of cost which are not to be dispensed with. In the first place there is the time required to learn the various duties of a Volunteer, and make the proper appearances as occasion may demand— and time to most men, now-a-days is money. A good deal might be done to economise this valu able element. Then there is the uniform—there nu'st be some sort of uniform, were it only that facetiously described by Colonel BOUSFIELD-of whom all Liverpool is justly proud—a moleskin jacket, with a red chalk stripe on the sleeve ' Everybody is of one opinion in this respect, viz.; that the less expensive the uniform adopted, the greater the probability of its being renewed. There seems to be a corresponding amount of unanimity as to the fact that by far the majority of existing corps, if not all indeed, have not only not followed the rule of strictest economy, but positively dis regarded it in the most remarkable manner. In not ti few instances it is notorious that the uni forms and equipments have been selected regard less of cost, and with reference only to elegance and ocular effect. We find all of one mind ,as to the impropriety of giving way to the not unnatural desire to wear a handsome military coat id con nection with this great defensive organisation, but we have not found many disposed to realise the idea practically. Another heavy item of expense in the conduct of the corps is that of drill. Each company has its own drill-sergeant, at a considerable weekly How much money might be saved by a more economical arrangement, so that several companies associated together might be instructed by one man? Of course it is but natural that drill-sergeants should desire to make as much _out of the Volunteer movement• as possible. We do not blame or bring any charge of undue extortion against them. We only ask whether a very large amount of money might not be spared to the Volunteers by some general understanding for dispensing with the greater part of the large staff of hired drill-sergeants now employed. Ought not two or three sergeants, permanently . attached to each battalion, to suffice. On this subject we might go a step further, and insist Upon the duty of the Government to afford military instruction to the Volunteers; but until that point is gained, why should not the most careful economy be practised in the department of drill expenses'? An undoubted, and yet most pardonable, species of extravagance has been that of band music. This is certainly 'one of those mistakes which most people will feel especially reluctant to condemn. But when the question comes to impair or peril the permanency of the Volunteer force, in consequence of its expense, it is clear that the pruning-knife must be applied un sparingly here, as well as elsewhere, whenever it is found practicable. It is altogether absurd, when we come to reflect on it, that there should exist an ambition among the various companies to have each a band of their own. Who ever thought of every company of a regiment of the line having its own band ? We must have music—but why should not one or two general bands suffice for Liverpool ? A similar criticism applies, with equal force, to all the other heads of expense to which our companies separately subject themselves. Were the several companies to combine extensively, they might, without in any degree lqiing their individuality, reduce their annual expenses to a fractional part of what they now are. This must be done, and we venture to say will be done, before long. A grievous piece of extravagance has of late threatened to impose itself upon those gentlemen Volunteers who have done so much to perfect the movement, and to whom, on that account, the nation now owes a deep debt of gratitude. We trust we will not be misunderstood, or supposed to undervalue the benefits of such magnificent entertainments to the Volunteers, as it has been recently and to-day our duty and privilege to chronicle, when we say that this process of feting the men is in danger of being carried too far. The idea must not be tolerated that it is the duty of commanders to treat their men. There are fortunately many Volunteer officers who are willing and well able to follow the example set them by Lord DERBY ; but many of the most valuable men holding, Volunteer commissions could not do so with justice to themselves. Why should they be forced into an awkward confes sion of that inability, and be made to appear as shabby exceptions to the rule followed by richer officers ? We want activity, intelligence, and efficiency in our officers, rather than wealth and princely hospitalities. Unless some clearly marked understanding is come to on this point we shall be apt to lose the services of some distinguished, but not opulent, leaders, to whom the force, as now organised, owes very much indeed ; and some who might other wise feel disposed to lend their countenance and aid to the movement will be deterred from joining it, or accepting a com mission involving so much extravagant expen diture. It may seem ungracious to many who have shewn the utmost enthusiasm and liberality to wards the Volunteers to denounce these costly displays ; but, as we appreciate their excellent motives, we would counsel them, for the sake of others less able, in a pecuniary sense, and for the sake of the whole Volunteer system, and as they value its permanency, to set an example to all connected with the movement of the most self-denying economy and thrift. For the time being all goes smoothly and gloriously and we have no anxiety save as regards the future, when uniforms will have to be renewed and sub scriptions and donations repeated, and when, at the end of the season, people come coolly to reckon up the cost of time and money already spent and still demanded. We point to this as probably a, rock ahead upon which the fair barque might split. To be forewarned is to be forearmed ; and we hope that . all hands will pull together to anticipate and prevent any such lamentable catastrophe. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Saturday Evening, Sept. 8, 1860. It was announced in the journals of last night that Francis 11. had quitted Naples for Capua, on which point the bulk of the Royal forces were to be concentrated, and where extensive redoubts had been thrown up, and that during the previous night large quantities of ammunition and military stores had arrived there; also, that the steam frigate Borbone and the other ships of war that remained faithful had received orders to anchor in the roadstead of Gaeta, which was provi sioned for a four months' siege, and the fortifications of which had been greatly strengthened for some time past. It was likewise announced that the different armed bodies under the authority of the Dictator were being assembled at Salerno, and that the orders which they had received indicated that their leader had no intention of discontinuing his military opera tions. Subsequent accouhts received from various sources, on the other hand, state in positive terms that the King had gone direct to Gaeta, and that Garibaldi. on the invitation of a doputa tion of the Annexionist Committee which had arrived at his camp, had entered Naples yes terday evening. This latter circumstance is so likely to be the case that there was a strong temptation on the part of the Sardinian journals, which are chiefly responsible for the announce ment of Garibaldi's actual arrival in that city, so that some further confirmation of the intelligence is required before it is entitled to absolute cre dence. But, in any view, it is only a question of time, and the telegraph will have put you in pos session of the real state of the case before this can reach you ; one can at last therefore say of the unhappy and deserted Prince, C'en est fait de It is time. I have never concealed my opinion that the annexation to Sardinia, or rather to the Kingdom of Italy of which the Sardinian territories form a part, is the best and only safe move for the friends of Italy to take ; and if the Government of Piedmont has been invited by the friends of order in Naples to be prepared to take possession, as soon as the reigning dynasty has ceased to it is positively absurd to describe s u c h an a ext, ct is as either unjustifiable or unwarranted. It is the only practicable solution of the difficulties of a situation, of which Victor Emmanuel has done nothing to forfeit his right to become the master. ()ILE of the many rumours which I have heard as to the future of Naples, is, that Austria is manifesting a preference for the claims of Prince Murat, hoping thereby, in time, to bring about the restoration of its friends, the dispossessed Dukes, and being unwilling to see Count Cavour installed in the Castle of St. Elmo at any price ; but I attach no great importance to the rumour. If it were true, it would necessarily involve a tightening of the rapprochement between the Emperors Joseph and Napoleon, the period for which has certainly not come. _ _ There is no longer scarcely any room for doubt that the long-talked-of interview between the Emperor Joseph, Alexander, and the Prince of Prussia will very shortly take place, to ; which I have now to add that the preliminaries are said to have been arranged for a meeting between the first of these potentates and Queen Victoria, at Coburg ; it is also said that the petty German Princes, not wishing to be altogether lost sight of, intend to meet shortly at Frankfort. Further accounts have been brought from Bey rout by the America. I see it stated in a letter to one of the papers that Fuad Pasha, in addition to the hanging and shooting of the guilty mis creants ordered by him at Damascus, has caused nine of the worst of the lot to be "inipaled. ; ' This mode of punishment has not been in use there for forty-seven years, but the energetic Pasha having laid down the rule - that in every ease tile Mode of punishment should be proportioned to the offence, he considered that the crimes of nine of these wretches could not be adequately avenged, except ing by this exquisite mode of torture. Thdimpala tion took place in the quarter of the town called Mahale Salchee, and an awful sight it must have been. The cries Of the miserable beings were heard at a great distance off. Another great speech is expected from the Em peror at Marseilles, where preparations of unpa ralleled magnificence are being made for his reception. Nice, also, as I have said, will put on her best apparel for the occasion ; but. it has oozed out that a police vigilante will be on the watch, to remove any dissatisfied persons who may be so rude as to attempt to interfere with the welcome of His Majesty and the Empress. Meanwhile, ati extraordinarily• furious contest is waged among the " Nice" young ladies, as to their respective claims for being selected to present the bouquets. This matter is, however, to be settled by the Prefect, and not by the Police. The Government seems to be apprehensive that the use of the sickle may somewhat unfit those of the reapers who are connected -with the army for the immediate resumption, should occasion require, of ,their military duties, for I observe that orders have been given 'for all the soldiers who are at present in the Reserve, or who are at their homes on temporary leave, to attend twice a week, as soon as the harvest is over, at the chief town of their district, to be trained in military exercises. A very curious affair came before the Correc tional Tribunal on Friday :—A young man, aged twenty, was brought before the court charged with causing a distubrance and illegally wearing honourable decorations. It appeared that, although young in years, he was both an old and most impudent offender. "On the 22nd August,". said a police-agent, "towards ten o'clock at night, I was called• upon to arrest an individual in a state of drunkenness, who, mounted on the driving seat of a cab, was insulting the passers-by in Great Pisoy-street. I proceeded to arrest him after having verified , the facts which had been re ported to me. The bearing of the prisoner, and his almost worn-out sailor's dress, ,inspired me with suspicions as -to his right to the possession of a cluster of decorations which adorned his breast. What particularly surprised me was to find in juxtaposition to some decorations of the Legion of Honour, a medal for rmilitary service, the medal for the Crimea, two medals of the Exhibi tion, .1850, and two medals commemorative of the annexation of Savoy to France. When he Was interrogated on the subject, the fellow declared that he had belonged to the sea since he was fifteen years old, and that subsequently he had been dismissed from the service in consequence of his infirmities.' He declared that, at home, there would be found not only the warrants of the seven decorations fastened on his breast, but those of nine others besides." Seven teen decorations at the age of 20 ! There was certainly here plenty of reason for the astonish ment of the Commissioner of Police before whom the soi-disant hero was conducted.. He renewed before this magistrate the statements he had made to the police agents, and an inquiry was instituted. The result of it was the find ing, not of six decorations, but of six con demnations ! The prisoner turned out to be one Edward Coretier, a journeyman painter, who was taken " before justice" in 1853, and condemned to three years' imprisonment for theft and vagabondage; in 1857 to one year's imprisonment for wearing a uniform and decoration; in 1858 to two months for illegally wearing the uniform of a marine; again the same year, to fifteen days for breaking his sentence of expulsion; lastly, in 1860, to two months for rebellion. At his trial on Friday, the.fellow had not a word to say for himself. He tried the plea of drunkenness, but that did not serve him, and he was oondemned to Other thirteen months' imprisonment and five years' surveillance. ITALY. ' (FRom OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MILAN, September 5. It is scarcely six weeks since Lord Palmerston declared, from his place in the House of Com mons, that the political horizon was full of threatening clouds, which might from one moment to another end in a terrible storm. The Prime Minister also stated that France possessed an army of 600,000 men, and that she had con siderably augmented her naval force—the number of the' ono and the other being more than necessary for the defence or protection of her Empire. There can be no doubt that when Lord Palmerston made these observations, the threatened storm was as much expected to begin at France as from the East or Italy ; but these fears are absolutely 'groundless or affected, because the Emperor has repeated the famous Bordeaux declaration that l'enzpire c'est la paix, which many persons say ought to read c'estl'ep'e. Is it not outrageous, looking at the pre sent complicated state of affairs in the East and Italy, to endeavour to deceive Europe that there are no apprehensions for the future—that all is serene and cheering, a brilliant future, a golden age abounding with all the blessings and fruits of a long and uninterrupted peace ? Is such a statement consistent with the probable consequences that are likely to arise out of the present troubles in the East, and the almost certain dissolution of that empire ? Is such a statement consistent with the present atti tude of Austria on the left banks of the . Po ? Is such a statement consistent with the - rapid movement and concentration of Sardinian troops along the Emilian line from Piacenza to Cat tolica ? Is it not a notorious fact that Sardinia is secretly despatching to the Bay of Naples a large force ready to take possession - upon the slightest declaration in her favour, on the part •of the army or the people, and also making the most formidable preparations to meet her powerful enemy ? Is it consistent that this war will be simply confined to Austria and Piedmont ? Does not the political atmosphere of Europe become more sulphureous every day ? Is it honest or sincere on the part of th e Emperor, or his mouthpiece, Count Persigny, to tell the world that l'empire c'est la paix, or that the military role of France in Europe is at an end. An era of peace and prosperity is now opening for Europe?' This is what I call a gigantic snare. The military role of France in Europe will only cease when she has destroyed every vestige of the humiliating conditions imposed by the treaty of 1815, and once more extended her frontier to the banks of the Rhine. Do these honeyed and peaceful words correspond with the silent but steady increase of her forces in Africa, and the constitution of no fewer than seven new regi ments of Zonaves, as well as the unceasing labours which are going on day and ni g h t in all. the French arsenals ,and laboratories ? France was never more powerful than she is at present, and it is no exaggeration of her force when I say that in less than three months she would be able to bring into the field not less than three formidable armies. This fact ought, to shew us the necessity of making those sacrifices and preparations which are indispensible for the security of our country, and not to be lulled into too much - faith by the poetical view which the French Emperor wishes us to take of the pre sent and future state of Europe. As a concluding paragraph to the above, the Gazette d'August tells us that upon the authority of the best in formed persons at Paris, they are in a position to state that there is almost every certainty that the autumn will not pass away before we shall see the commencement of another campaign, and that the Emperor of the French seemed so per suaded of this inevitable conflict, that before his departure he gave orders to the Minister of War to mobilise a corps or 100,000, in such a manner as to be ready to move in forty-eight hours to any point of the frontier. I now come to another subject which is almost as improbable and absurd as Napoleon's Penzpire c'cst la pax, that the well-known Queen's Counsel, Mr. Edwin James, has been charged by Lord Palmerston on a special mission to Garibaldi, in order to submit to the General th 3 following pro positions : " Ist. That England will not permit, under whatever pretext, any foreign interventicn in the affairs of Italy, the British Government being perfectly agreed with France upon the core to be putsued.should any attempt be made to viold.te the samet 2nd. That should Garibaldi attempt to assail Venice, neither France nor England could be expected to oppose the ahriies of Francis Joseph, therefore Garibaldi and Victoi Emmanuel would be obliged to sustain the conflict against the accumulated arid irritated forces of Austria." in exchange for this reiterated; determination on the part of England and France to support the principle of nori4ntervention; _ Garibaldi is to bidd liimieelf—" Ist. To restrict his operations to the NethAit.in Ftates, and to use his utmost force for the immediaie ca tion of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. 1141. Never to abandon the idea of the unity of tlt Peninsula with Victor Emmanuel, Sing of Italy." This is the substance of the mission •which, accord ing to the Courrier Dinutache, Mr. Edwin James has been posted off from Iffiondon to Cala bria to submit to Garibaldi, instead of rollicking among the moors grouse shooting. It is certainly true that Mr. James arrived in Turin on the 3rd instant, and, 1 believe, on his way to Sicily or Naples to see Garibaldi; but that he is charged.by Lord Falmerbton to submit the above propositions is only another of the many absurdities which we are condemned to read from time to time in the journals ,of this country. On Monday evening La Lombardia copied the above extract from the French journal, and on Tuesday morning our writers eagerly seised the subject for elabdrate articles, several being salciently elastic to in= sinuate that perhaps, under all the circiimstances; . it was the best arrangement, thwe at one stroke, of the pen sacrificed " poor Ven ice, " after„ so,. much shouting about her cruel sufferings and, despotic rulers. It was really amusing to see Mr. James' name for the first time figure in the' Italian journals ; by some he was styled " Sir James," " Lord James," the " Ambassador Lord James" which is not, perhaps, so bad as calling the corvette " The Queen of England," which joined Garibaldi's fleet at Messina, on the 15th ultimo, The Queen of Gugland, which I be lieve would puzzle the writer to find upon the map of either Europe, Asia, Africa, or America, but the ignorance of the generality of the Italians of England and the extravagant notions that they have of us is almost incredible. I was greatly amused the other day in reading, in the Lonibardia, a letter from its Turin correspondent, stating that the Bourbon Government had offered 70,000 f (why not an even hundred ?) to the editor of the Gazette del Popolo, a miserable print not bigger than a tract, to sustain the principles of the proposed alliance and the conservation of the autonomy of Naples, which, of course, was in dignantly refused by that incorruptible editor ! Two days after out comes the Unione, of this city, "Oh ! what wretches ! only imagine, gentle reader, some of our enemies have been bad enough to report that we have sold our journal tcs the Bourbon Government. Isn't this shameful?" Nectr, I can swallow as large a dose of the improbable as any man living, and even could believe Jack's yarn to his old grandmother of some of his adventures when they were at anchor off one of the West India islands, which is as follows " On Sunday morning, when he was on watch, he heard a loud cry of 'ship-a-he and, looking over the side of his ship he saw, in the sea, a merman." " God bless my soul," replied the old woman, " a merman!" e Yes," replied the sailor, with the utmost gravity, " and he very politely said, Jack, will you give my compliments to your captain, and beg him to pull up his anchor, which, being in front of our street - door, prevents the family going to church." I could even swallow this story of Jack's for gospel truth rather than be considered so thoroughly green as to allow myself to believe that either the Gazette del Popolo or the Unions had such an offer, or if such a proposition was made to either that they possessed the fortitude . to resist the temptation. I have seen such a prostitution of principles and Jesuitism since the departure of the Austrians as to disgust any man having the slightest pre tensions to dignity, honour, or honesty. The Count di Siracusa arrived at Genoa on the 3rd instant, and was received with all the honour due to a Prince of the royal blood. The Count arrived at Turin on-the same day, the King having sent one of his royal car riages to conduct his cousin to the Palace, where he has taken up his residence for the present. Many persons, and not without good reason, attribute to his famous letter of the 24th ultimo, urging his nephew, Francis 11., to abandon Naples, more of ambition than of humanity, the Count being certain that, immediately the King left Naples, the Sardinian Government would appoint him Viceroy of the Two Sieilies. Unfor tunately for the King of Naples, he has been surrounded by the worst of advisers and the blackest camarilla of Jesuits, priests, ambitious and false relatives, and treacherous generals . that ever surrounded the throne of a young . and inexperienced monarch. Ten days ago the ' flight of the King was announced, as also the mutiny of the whole army ; . nevertheless, the ' King is still at Naples, and a large portion of the army faithful to their sovereign with Bosco at their head, who, putting aside the nature of the Neapolitan question, is an honourable example of fidelity to a falling king—the opposite character of that mean traitor and renegade, General Nunziante. Here we - have again another proof to what extremes Garibaldi is pushing the present question. If the Neapolitans wished for the union of their country to - Piedmont, have they not-had a thousand opportunities of rising against. the King and GovernMent and declaring for Victor Emmanuel. You will find that the pro phesies of my letters' will be all realised by-and bye—that the Italians never can be united into one kingdom ; and if they were, it would soon end in civil war- As I predicted in my former letters, Depretis, the pro-Dictator of Sicily is unable any longer to resist the agitation in that island for the vote by universal suffrage,. which with the recommendation of the Sardinian. Go vernment, has been fixed for the 16th instant. Some persons, however, think that it will be fur ther delayed till the middle of October. In my - former letters I also gave. you some particulars of the state of the finances of the Provisional Go vernment of Sicily, which has been since con firmed by Depretis endeavouring to raise another loan. It is reported that Victor Emmanuel, to keep them from sinking, has sent the Pro-Dictator half a million of francs, until other supplies shall arrive. lam also Reformed that the administra tive 'branch of the Sicilian army is frightful— some of - the men not receiving their pay for a - week or ten days, and others receiving double p a y. The same writer (a volunteer) tells me that there is scarcely any organisation among the men; and it requires the utmost prudence on the part of those who are not dependent on their pay, to find the money in their pockets when they awake in the morning. Our despatches up to past hour (four a.m.) are as follows : A revolutionary committee was discovered at Verona on the 3rd instant. Several arrests have been made, and there can be no doubt that the unfortunate men will be shot. NAPLES, Ist Sept.—The National Guard • have invaded the Royal Palace, demanding the imme diate banishment of Generals Ischitella and Cu trofiano. ROME, Ist Sept.—General De Noue has declared to the officers of his army that it is the orders of the Emperor to defend the provinces of Rome, Comarca, Civita Vecchia, and Viterbo. The Committee for the Annexation of Naples to Piedmont has received a letter from Garibaldi, which announces that he will be in Naples on the Bth instant.
