GASKILL, LATE MESSENGER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. SEVERAL friends of Mr. Gaskill, having taken his ease into consideration, and believing as they do, that it is one of great hardship, have INSTITUTED A SUBSCRIP TION on behalf of himself and family. Mr. Gaskill was summarily dismissed on the 28th of last March, since which time he has not been in the receipt of one shilling, having been solely dependent upon the contributions of a few friends. Mr. Gaskill had held his situation for fourteen years, no complaint having ever been urged against him further Cr an having been forced into 3 prison for twenty one days, through being security for one of the Manchester official assignees. Mr. Gaskill, there is no doubt, has been most cruelly treated, as the following extract from on of his letters to the Lire, po 1 Journal will tend to show : With reference to my insolvency, I can point to three registrars of Bankruptcy Courts in th's county who have taken the benefit of the Insolvent Acts, and yet retained their situations. One messenger in this county was suspended for twelve months from his office, took the benefit of the Act, which involved a remand of four months to Lancaster Castle, and still now holds his appointment. I was dis charged in the same court by the same judge, after the usual forms had been complied with, which occupied five minutes I Mr. Gaskill has received the following letters. by which; he hopes that an enquiry may be instituted into his case : ;From the Right Hon. the Earl of Harrowby : London. August 9, 1856. Sir,—l havE sent your letter to the Lord Chancellor, and called ins Attention to its con ents, which seem to furnish matter for loves tigation.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, HARROWBY. 1.. T. Gaskill, Esq. . From the Rt. Hon. Spring Rice, Sec. to the Lord Chancellor :- 40, Upper Brooke-street, August 16, 1856.

I may add, however, that his lordship has al:eady given much • consideration to your case.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, W. C. SPRING Rics. The envelope was marked " Cranworth." From " Talk on 'Change," Liverpool Journal, August g 3, 1856. Talking of judges, there was some talk about the judges of the Bankruptcy Court, and it was, that a curious case is likely to be obtruded speedily on the public; that Mr. Gaskill was recently dismissed from the office of messenger to the Liverpool Bankruptcy Court; that he was wrongfully dismissed and his office wrongfully „given to another; that he has made a statement of his ease, and that tie Lord Chancellor has it now under consideration; that Mr. ,Gaskill has been harshly used ; that it is true he is one o' the best -natured men living ; that, in a strange disregard of prudence, he went security for an official assignee, that the official assignee ran away, and that Mr. Gaskill was called on to pay; thst he did pay a part; that he offered to pay the remainder in time, but that the parties would not wait. and that the Insolvent Court was the only altet native ; that, during the necessary process of twenty-one days, gr. Commissioner Stevenson caused him to be dismissed. but that, • although dozens of Bankruptcy officials have been insolvents, Mr. Gaskill is the only one who has lost kis place by a visit to Lanaast;r Castle.

Sir Charles Napier has again rushed into print. He attacks, in his own peculiar and emphatic style, the remarks of the Times Correspondent, Dr. Rus sell, for his observations respecting the non-attack on Cronstadt. After showing up the Dr.'s ignorance of the defences of Cronstadt, and their impregnable character, as well as taking a tilt at the Admiralty, he concludes in the following spicy terms :—" You have done everything in your power, Mr. Editor, since the 4th of Oct., 1854—the day on which the hoax of Sebastopol arrived in England—to ruin my reputation; but I think you have failed, and your Special Correspondent has put you deeper in the mire." No doubt the " leading journal" will be out upon Sir Charles, but it will have some difficulty in overturning his brief but very telling facts, viz.:—" If your ' Special Corres pondent' had taken the trouble to examine the chart of Cronstadt, which a sensible and honest man ought to have done, before he attacked me, he would have seen that the north of Cronstadt could only be approached by gun and mortar boats with a light draught of water, not one of which I had ; he would also have seen that the passage to the north (which was never navigable for large ships) was protected by a barrier supported by eight or ten block ships, upwards of 100 gunboats, several steamers, and the boats of twenty sail of the line." The elevation of Sir John Crampton to be a Knight Commander of the Bath marks very dis tinctly the approval of the Government of the way in which that gentleman fulfilled his duties as the representative of her Majesty at Washington, and the time and manner of raising him to the dignity may be considered as intended to harmonise with the far more important indications which have been given by Lord Palmerston of his earnest desire to avoid any unnecessary offence to the American Government. Approving, as they did, of Mr. Crampton's conduct, under circumstances of considerable difficulty, it was, we think, the duty of the Government to show in some unmistakeable way that the aspersions cast upon that gentle man's personal honour found no echo in their minds. To do so at the moment of his landing in this country would, perhaps, have unnecessarily ruffled our somewhat touchy cousins across the Atlantic. Accordingly, occasion was taken to include Mr. Crampton's name in the first list of honours to be conferred upon the diplomatic corps, and, along with two other old public officers, he has been made a K.C.B , in consideration of his long and meritorious services. Among the other domestic rumours of the day, is one which appears to prevail extensively, to the effect that the contemplated reduction of the army has been postponed or abandoned by the Govern ment for political reasons. The rumour . is quite destitute of foundation, and we can only attribute it to a misapprehension of the cause of the brief delay which has taken place in formally completing the arrangements as regards certain classes of the officers. The reduction of the men has been already going on for some time; that of the officers comes into operation from the Ist of October, and each of them will receive two months' pay on reduction. Any delay that has taken place has been solely caused by certain forms which had to be gone through, and has not arisen from political reasons, or from any intention on the part of the Govern ment to postpone or modify the reduction. With regard to the Neapolitan dispute, we have the following, per telegraph, dated Naples, Sept. 20th :—The arrival of the Allied squadrons is expected daily. The English fleet has arrived at Ajaccio, the appointed rendezvous. The Russian Circular is generally known here. This declara tion, however, has produced rather a moral than a material agitation. The preparation of the batte ries and defences goes on; the King, at Gaeta, is busying himself in superintending the armament of the works. The Minister has offered a pardon to Poerio and Setternbrini, if they will solicit at his hands. They have refused to do so. King Fer dinand has proposed a Customs' Union with Austria, but difficulties as to the suinriutendence have stopped the project. Acccording to the accounts from Paris, it is rumoured that a letter from the Czar to the Emperor Napoleon, now some weeks two, entered fully into the subject of Naples. The writer is said to have dwelt cn the difficulties which lay in the way of peace, the great effort© made to obtain it, the confident hopes to which it gave rise of the duration of the tranquillity and pros perity of Europe, the injustice and impolicy of interference and intermeddling with the internal affairs of independent governments, and the diffi culty of maintaining public tranquillity, if such a system were followed. The letter is said to ter minate with assurances of the greatest confidence in the prudence and moderation of the Emperor of the French. The Emperor and Empress of the French have arrived at Paris, and proceed to St. Cloud. Most extensive preparations had been made to welcome the Royal Family with becoming respect. A letter from Florence of the 27th ult. relates the following occurrence :—A. man named Nanni, of Prato, having built a large ampitheatre on the Piazza Maria Antonia, wanted to open it with a grand show. The subject selected was an historical festival of the fifteenth century, when the Floren tines and Siennese received the Florentime ambas sadors on their return from Naples, where they had concluded the peace of 1415. The bills had been approved of by the police authorities, since they had been posted up for some days past, an nouncing in large type all the particulars of the show. Curiosity was raised to the highest ,pitch, and there was no reason to doubt that M. Nanni would realise an immense sum on the occasion, when suddenly the police, being led to believe that there would be a political demons tration on the occasion, sent an order prohibiting the spectacle. Poor M. Nanni, who had spent his whole capital in the speculation, sought and obtained an audience of the Grand Duke, who told him "that the interest of the State required that the prohibition should not be rescinded." The unhappy man lost his senses, took a carriage, drove to the suspension bridge, and threw himself into the Arno, leaving his family to utter destitution. Our Madrid advices inform us that the police were busily engaged in arresting malefactors in the capital, and in the possession of one of them jewellery of the value of 10,300 piastres had been seized. The works of the Seville to Cordova Rail way had made great progress. The extraordinary session of the Swiss Federal Assembly was closed on the 27th ult. The Grand Council of the Canton of Neufchatel is occupied in the examination of a proposition brought before it, to suppress the privileges of the burgess class, and to confiscate property belonging to that body to the amount of from 12 to 15 millions for the benefit of the canton. THE Triennial Visitation of the LORD BISHOP of CHESTER to his Liverpool clergy has not received the prompt attention we usually give to important matters of the kind, owing to the excessive pressure on our columns, which our readers have observed for some time past. Of the several topics alluded to by the venerable Prelate in his charge, little remains to be said. The deceased Chancellor's memory, and that of the late Arch deacon's has been treated with every mark of respect and admiration the living can well bestow on the departed. And it was pleasing to hear their ecclesiastical chief bearing testimony to their moral worth and religious purity. Advocating the claims of the several societies, which, in connection with the Established Church, are aiming at so much, and hope to accomplish all the good they have in view, was simply discharging a duty which belongs to the office of a Bishop, and the allusion made to the spirit in which the Bishops have given their " recommendation" to their clergy, cannot fail to give general satisfaction. The subject of education was also treated in the most liberal strain by the venerable Prelate. Reason and toleration have not advanced so far, as yet, as to lead us to belive that the several religious deno minations of this country will consent to send their children to one school, to receive secular instruc tion, leaving their religious training to be pro vided by their parents. Temporal heresy has not yet been so far over come. Each tamily of believers will have the bolus of education gilt with their own religious tenets; and there are millions who would rather see their offspring launched into the bondage of ignorance, than allow them to breathe the air of worldly enlightenment, where this or that creed is not predominant. This debasing bigotry has made us the most ignorant nation upon earth. It is this fell spirit of intolerance which is filling our prisons with unlettered youth, and our work houses with indigenous ignorance. The public mind has yet to pass through many long and tedious stages, we fear, before this source of crime and degradation can be overcome, and ere the children of England will be suffered to meet in one common school for education as Eng lishmen associate in after life for mutual good and the world's business. And we regret to have it in our power to cite the experience of the head of the diocese in support of so melancholy a state of society. Still, it is the bounden duty of the State to provide ample secular education for the children of the masses, free of all charge, and leave to time a test which has never been put to the working and poorest classes. Having said so much of the several subjects touched upon by the Bishop in his address, we will now venture to give expression to the I surprise which is universally felt at the esteemed Prelate's silence with regard to the ecclesiastical events impending, the several theological dis cussions, and important movements which have taken place among the Liverpool clergy and their congregations. In these discussions grave theo logical questions have been raised, not by laymen, but by some of the diocesian clergy. Divines of unquestionable piety and untiring zeal, have been rather unceremoniously treated ; their congregations have disputed the justice and even common pro priety of the course pursued towards Mr. MAC NAUGHT. We have kept quite aloof in our editorial columns from such disputes, as our readers are aware. Still, we think the matter of sufficient importance to have called for some comment from the Bishop of the diocese in which they have occurred. The public expected, in fact, a ripened and deliberate opinion from the Bishop on the several topics brought under notice so prominently, in his Triennial Charge. Mr. MACNAUGHT is not known through the columns of the newspapers only. He has placed his opinions on record in a volume which stands by the side of the works of our greatest theoolgians in our national libraries, and which has excited as much attention, and led to as much deep thought fulness in this diocese, as any book which was issued from the press in modern times. We shall not, therefore, be thought too bold if we add that the cool and deliberate opinion of the Bishop on the subject of " Inspiration," and the several matters of Church discipline of which Mr. MAC NAUGHT treats, both in his writings and pulpit, would have been extremely valuable, and not less opportune at this particular moment. Further more, we may venture to say that as our ecclesias tical chief has not condemned the doctrines put forth by Mr. MACNAUGHT, the public will come to the conclusion that Mr. MAC p t eh c e t eprelateßishop has nothing to say, The In t l NAUGHT is right, and c t ir ha r t es condemning the however, has, by his silence with reference to heresy on the vital points raised by Mr. MACNAUGHT' exposed him self to a charg' of being pusillanimous and unfaith ful. If the Bishop felt sympathy with Mr. MAC. IAUGHT, wholly or partly, as it is notorious that several cf the greatest Christian scholar and a a n n d d that he might have thinkers do, we can understand felt a -delicacy—which we, think was altogether unnecessary—in publicly co tyranny of so large a number of the clergy of his that silencelthat to have spoken diocese. Under particularly when it is known regarded as consen t ; against Mr. MACNAUGHT , if the Bishop could have done it conscientiously, would have pleased . the must any be crest mass of the clergy- But we regret the silence still more, as less than was, due to the diocese and country at iilrge frT9 the Pinto? of CHESTER, and we think that now this silence . C4ll have but one meaning, and that is decidedly in favour of free thought. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. The 'fact of the Bank of England not having made another advance upon their rate of interest yesterday, has tended to, allay the uneasy feeling which had sprung up in Corn-. mercial circles, money, both here and in London, is rather more plentiful for discount purposes. It is epeoted that "sitting day," as it is termed, will pats off satisfac6rily. We may here observe, that during the last month business in the textile manufacturing districts has rather increased, consequently a larger amount of money has been required in that direction. In the early part of the week Cotton was in good demand, both from the trade and speculators, the market being stimulated V continued unfavourable accaunts of the growing crop, and ,very full rates were current for all descriptions of American, but the increasing value of money has induced holders again to offer their stocks more freely, and the market closed this evening with rather less animation, though slightly dearer than on this day sen'night. The transactions of the week are estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 were taken on speculation and for export. The sales of the week were 61,640 bales, of thPse 12,190 were on speculation, and 4,390 for export, leaving 35,060 for the trade. The week's imports foots up 36,500, and the estimated stock of all descriptions now on hand 623,680, .against ' 514,250 at same date in 1855. The total sales of this year have been 2,291,100, against 2,467,020 last year ; whilst the average weekly deliveries to the trade from this port up to the present date are 41,323 bales, against 40,463 to the same period in 1856. The quotations of " fair" Cotton, as declared by the Brokers' Committee this ' , err. , are as follows :—Upland, 61-d ; Mobile, 67-,i; and Orleans, 71d per lb. Th , -• Terintss going forward on our Stock Exchange has been of a trifling character, hut prices have had an upward tendency, and the market for mostly all descriptions of " Stocks" and "Shares" closed with steadiness. The day's transactions comprised Blackburn, 78 ; Caledonian, 27k ; Eastern Counties, 9 ; Great Western, 641 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 96, 951, 4, I, ; London and North Western, 102 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 32, 1 , ; Midland Stock, 774, 77, 761 A ; North British, 91; South Eastern and Dover, 21, 20k, 21, 20k-, 21.

The tone of business at the Stock Exchange has decidedly improved, and the Funds present a buoyant appearance. There is less demand for money, as most parties have tem porarily supplied their wants, and the reported decline in the rate of exchange at Shanghae has led to the inference that the efflux of silver from this country will diminish. On the Paris Bourse affairs have taken an upward turn, the Rentes having improved yesterday about 11 per cent., and purchases of silver are made with less freedom; Under these circumstances, therefore, there is amore cheerful feel ing, and the opinion is expressed that the financial distress prevailing in some parts of the Continent will subside. Gold still leaves the Bank of England for the Continent, however, and the next two weekly returns are expected to show a rather material falling off in the item of bullion, while the " other deposits," on the other hand, will no doubt be found to have greatly increased: The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's vessel Pera, which leaves to-morrow for India and China, will take out about 778,750/. in specie. The greater portion of this heavy amount is. for Calcutta, Hong Kong, and Shanghae. To the last named place the shipment is nearly 360,0001. The Stock Market opened with renewed animation to day, and the English Funds have been dealt in to a large extent, at an improvement of one-eighth on yesterday's final quotations. The tone of the markets generally is buoyant, but there is not so much disposition to extend operations in shares as there is in the funds. At the same time, all apprehensions of further depression appear to be dissipated, and confidence has returned. Money is a little easier in "the house." The steamer Magdalena, just arrived from Mexico and the West Indies, is reported' to bring 700,000 dols in specie. The failure of an influential firm, engaged in the rice trade, has been announced in Mincing-lane to-day. The rumoured intention of the Bank of France to suspend cash payments is exciting much attention, although not generally credited. The effect of such a measure would be to diminish the exports of gold from this country, but the price of provisions in France would, it is presumed, consi derably advance, and create much misery among the lower classes. The Consol Market has been rather tame, being 92 . 4 to 93 for Money, and 931 93 for the November Account. Exchequer Bills are 7s to 1 Is prem. The transactions in the Railway Share Market are very limited ; some of the leading lines, however, may be quoted at rather improved prices. Caledonian are 54i 55.

At Mark-lane, Dublin, and Wakefield, to-day, we have accounts of rather better prices being paid ; and at the Liverpool Corn Exchange this morning, Wheat and Flour commanded the full rates of Tuesday. Both Egyptian Beans and Indian Corn were disposed of at fully former prices, in some instances an advance of 6d to is per quarter was paid. The imports into Liverpool, since our notice of Tuesday, embrace 22,750 qrs. Wheat, 1,750 brls Flour, 950 qrs Beans, and 9,220 qrs. Indian Corn. The supplies in this interval coastwise and from Ireland include 890 qrs Wheat, 790 sacks Flour, 2,030 qrs. Oats, and 2,800 loads Oatmeal. The exports comprise 1,550 qrs Wheat, 5,030 brls Flour, and 1,250 qrs Indian Corn. The Liverpool Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been steady during the week. Sugar has sold to a moderate extent, without change in price ; and for Coffee there has been a good enquiry, sellers obtaining very full prices. Rum and Molasses sell to a fair extent, without change in price. The market for Tea has been inactive during the week ; few sales were effected, and prices remain unchanged. The dealings in Rice are somewhat extensive, at very full rates. There has been little going forward in Naval Stores. Oils are held with firmness. A moderate business has-been transacted in P. Y.C. Tallow at 53s 6d to 535 per cwt for new, and is per cwt less for old. Ta London the market closes quietly at a slight decline upon last week's quotations; the price on the spot being 503 6d per cwt, all the year 49s 6d, and for the spring 50s per cwt. The half week delivery is 1,398 cks against 1,373 cks last year, and the present stock is 7,934 cks against 28,429 cks in 1856. We may here append a few statistics of our Produce Markets : Of Sugar the total imports this year have been 60,432 tons, against 48,047 the same time last year. The receipts of Coffee have fallen off this year foam 4,202 tons, the quantity imported last year to present date, to 2,660. The quantity of Palm Oil which has arrived here this year, is set down at 18,230 tons, against 21,840 at same time last year. The stock of Sugar in bond is now 19,388 hhds. The following circular from an eminent London house is worthy of perusal :—" Contrary to expectation the imports of sugar do not this month show any further reduction in the excess over those of last year, being now 311,600 tons against 256,700; but, on the other hand, the deliveries for home consumption have been very satisfactory, and from the fact that the trade generally hold no stocks, this may be taken as a fair estimate of the present actual consumption, which may be expected to continue. The demand for export has been maintained, and the quantity taken in the nine months reaches 37,200 against 12,800 tons. The comparative stock remairs in about the same position as on the Ist ultimo, whilst in the Continental entre depots a further falling off is apparent, being on the 31st Aug. only 24,750 against 38,320 tons in 1855, and 66,110 in 1854. The advioes from Louisiana represent their coming crop as the shortest since 1843, owing in some measure to the gradual substitution of cotton for sugar cultivation, but chiefly to the severity of last winter having irretrievably destroyed much of the planting cane, as well as the rattoons. Some of the estimates of the production are so low as to seem scarcely credible ; whilst, if even the highest are to be taken as correct, it is certain that very large supplies of foreign will be required to satisfy the wants of the United States, and the large stook in New York on the Ist September, viz., 43,820 against 15,120 tons last year, will be but a small item towards their requirements. American buyers were already operating in Demerara and the West India Islands at the last dates. From the data at present before us, it does not appear that the production is yet again overtaking the consumption o f the world, and we may therefore confidently look for a continuance of the advanced rates for sugar. The opinion has been very general that the production of beet root would this year be large, and thus make up for the deficiency in cane ' sugar ; but, according to the more recent accounts respecting the prospects of the crop in France, it i. expected to yield a considerable less quantity of sugar than has been obtained from that of last season, which reached 90,000 tons. It is officially known that the breadth of land under beet culture in that country is one -sixth to one-fifth less this season than last ; it is ripening later than usual ; and the distillers, tempted by the high prices of spirits, are already taking the roots from the ground, so that the deficit arising from this combination of circumstances will only be made up by an increase in the produe,tion in Belgium, Germany, and Austria," The Liverpool Wool ea/es have terminated; and as we I gav e a detailed statement of the proceedings diem per diem, we have little to report upon. We may, however, remark, that the attendance o f h uyere throug - nout was numerous, both of home and foreign. A large portion was taken for export. The competition was very spirited, and, notwith standing the advance in the rate of interest, the sales closed firmly, at a slight advance upon previous current prices. Private telegraphic accounts received from Shanghae, per the Overland Mail, report the exchange on London at 7s 2d, showing 'a decline of about 3d compared with the price )tdVised by the previous mail. This decline is calculated to moderate the.-late excessive eagerness to ship dollars to China, and, coupled with the demand for silver on the Con tinent, and with the general rise in the value of money throughout Europe, has caused numerous parcels to be held back which were previously ordered to be shipped by the steamer of the 4th instant. It is now thought that the total remittances by this vessel will be about 800,0001, instead of upwards of a million, as was previously anticipated. At an exchange of 7s. 2d., however, the profit upon the remittance of dollars to Shanghae is still so large that the ship ments must be expected to continue heavy. A very heavy fall must take place in the Chinese exchanges before the export of silver thither will cease. The rate of insurance upon the outward Alexandria steamer of the 4th November remains quoted at about 50s per cent. at Lloyd's. It is complained, however, by parties in the bullion trade, that this figure is too high. Owing to the high rates of insurance charged at Lloyd's, there has been more disposition on the part of remitters to enter into terms with some of the foreign houses.

THE PEOPLE'S CONCERTS, ST. GEORGE'S HALL. The first of this series of Grand Concerts is to take place this evening, under the patronage of his Worship the Mayor. The programme published promises a musi cal entertainment equal to that given at costly prices in many musical institutions. Many of the very highest names known as vocal and instrumental performers to our local community, are set out in the programme. The vocalists announced are—Mrs. G. Holden, Mrs. Morgan, Miss Wiatt (a first appearance), Mr. Wilson, Mr. Arm strong, Mr. Holden, piano, and several others—the prin cipal instrumental performers, Mr. Best upon the Grand Organ, and Mr. George Holden the piano -forte. The selection of music is in every way attractive. As far as can be expected, the character of the entertainment will be such, as of itself to ensure success, even in a less attrac tive building, and with higher prices. In addition to this, the public cannot but look with favour upon the first attempt, on a largely organised scale, to popularise our great Hall, and to place an evening of high enjoyment, within that splendid building, in the reach of those to whom the very lowest prices are indispensable. When we consider that a long and varied Concert, rendered still more attractive by the performances of Mr. Best, is thrown open to the public every Saturday evening, at prices coming down to as low a point as the cheapest organ performances ventured on by our Town-Council, we can feel little doubt that, so far as crowded audiences can give success, this spirited enterprise will be successful. Mr. Reynolds, the originator of the undertaking, we understand, intends to vary the character of the enter tainments as much as possible during the season, some grand ' monstre instrumental concerts being among the contemplated introductions.

I beg to ptgte that the author of the paragraph is indebted to his invention for the assertion, such statement being a gross and malicious falsehood. S. 1 74L017411131C, Birkenhead Ferry, Oct. 3, 1856. ROYAL ARTlLLERY.—Yesterday morning about 200 men and officers, belonging to the Royal Artillery, arrived in town from Dublin, and went off by an early train for Wool wich. They are chiefly young and small men. ST. PAUL'S SUNDAY S, nooLs. —Yesterday evening a social tea meeting of the teachers of tha above school took place at No. 4, St. Paul's-square. Mr. T. Lowe occupied the chair. The organisation of the school, recitation, &c,, Sce., occupied the evening. The proceedings passed off in perfect harmony. FATAL ACCIDENT. —Yesterday a fatal accident took place at the Stanly-dock warehouse, when a person, named John Green, aged 26 years, was killed. He was engaged at the hydraulic machine, and was considered a compet en t person at his business, but by some accident the cradle fell on his head and killed him. An inquest will be held on the body this day. YOUNQ GARRICIC.—By an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that Mr. Artis, and this talented youth, will appear at the Assembly-rooms, Liacard, on Monday evening next. From the manner in which this evening's amusement has been a pp rec i ated by large audiences, there can be no doubt but the gentry of the locality will, avail themselves of this opportunity, and judge for them selves. FRANCE. FROM OUR OWN C3RRESPONDENT. PARIS, THURSDAY Evziarco. A telegraphic despatch, from Dresden, informs us that the Journal of that city announces that the views of the French Government, relative to the affairs of Naples, ha" undergone an essential modification ; and that, probablire the fleet will not leave. Thi s asser ti o n is entitled t o aoill attention, inasmuch as the Dresden Journal, the sere' official organ of the Saxon Government, has more than once proved itself to be well informed. in Paris, too, a report has been current that tu. French Government was more and more reluctant to follow the lead of En g l an d a t N a pl es . What is certat is, that the French fleet has not yet sailed from To ulon and yet we learn, by a despatch from Ajaccio, of Corsica, which place you will remember was some tit% ago fixed as the rendezvous of the allied fleets, that t v/ English corvettes had arrived there. After all, befell!' we must wait the return of the Emperor to know preciseh': what course the French Government will pursue, i n eyes of most people it cannot well draw back now from b' s position it took up, seeing that to do so would be to g ive , o in the islan° great triumph to Russia, and would, after that P vier recent note, make it look ridiculous in Europe. rs From an article in the Journal des Debats, it apnea a that the King of Naples has recently granted a greet number of pardons to political offenders ; but that, in order not to be imputed of yielding to the Western powers, he h : , e kept them profoundly secret. On th e other liana , no telegraph informs us that a Vienn a new spaper, of authority, has this day announced that the King has all his valuable effects to be removed t o G a eta, thafft er"; population is excessively irritated, and that the e e which General Martini, the Austrian Minister, was m a k e if n to bring his Majesty to reason, were not considered lik to be crowned with success. ed.
