In the LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH STOCKS, to-day, an uniAtisfactory feeling continued to prevail, and most departments of business stand more or less affected by the unfavourable aspect of politics at home and abroad. Consols opened heavily at per cent. decline from the late official price of yesterday, and are now quoted 943 to for money, and 94i to I for account. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 227 i ; Reduced Three per Cents., 93 and 92; ; New Threes, 92/ 93 92f and 93; New Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 781 ; India Stock, 219 ; India Debentures, 961 ditto Bonds, 7 6 and 12 dis ; Exchequer Bills, 7s pm. and 5s and 4s pm. for Small. The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money Account . . . Exchequer Bills . . . Bank Stock Three per Cents Next Account The following appeared in our second edition of yesterday : The letters from St. Petersburg state that the loan question still remains undecided. The paper currency of the country is still at about 10 per cent. discount, and no gold or silver is to be obtained. The further development of intrigue in Italy, furnished by the announcement of the reactionary mani festation at Florence, excited some attention this morn ing. On the whole, the feeling of general political distrust has rather increased than diminished, and the markets would probably have shown greater weakness, but for the prospect of further steady augmentations in the Bank bullion. In the discount market there has been rather more demand, but at the Bank the applica tions were moderate. About 4312,000 in gold was pur chased by the Bank. The quotation of the French exchange is more favourable for this cobritry, and there seems no immediate likelihood of any important amounts of specie being sent to the Continent.—Times. A growing distrust of the designs of the two great continental powers is causing a steady decline in the prices of public securities. Symptoms of violent dis turbance were apparent this afternoon in all markets. The funds opened with steadiness, a favourable inter pretation being put upon the answers given by the Foreign Secretary, last night, to some questions on foreign affairs. The market, however, soon resumed a heavy appearance, and continued to droop during the afternoon, closing at a decline of about per cent. upon news of a further serious fall on the Paris Bourse. After the close of the Stock Exchange a fresh reduction was quoted in consols, and the markets were extremely unsettled, and even excited. There was no revival of business at the discount-office at the Bank, although the rate for the best bills, in the open market, was barely a fraction below the Bank minimum, and the demand was brisk.—Daily New!. In the LONDON MARKET for FOWON SECU RITIES, to-day, business has been on a limited scale only, and values generally are very depressed. Original Turkish Bonds have declined about 11 per cent., being now at 741 and 741, and the New Sixes are equally heavy, the price realised showing a relapse of 11 to 11 per cent. viz., 581 59 and 58; Mexican Three per Cents. have been taken at 201, 213, 201, and 21. The LONDON RAILWAY SEIARE MARKET to-day was heavy, and very little business has been doing. London and North Westerns, Great Westerns, Midlands, South Easterns, and other leading lines, have declined I to 1 per cent. Colonial and foreign railways are also depressed. Shares of the Lraion Bank are quoted 251 to I. Victoria Debentures are flat at 1053 to 1061. Thames and Mersey Thsurcaace is quoted 11 to 11. prem. 9 9 41 i 4 7 226 8 921 3 The market closed at the following prices:— Ambergate, Not., & East.

West Caradon are quoted 80 to 82 ; Lady Bertha, 3 to 3! ; and Great Wheal Fortune, 12 to 13. East Basset shares are dull, and are marked in the Stock Exchange 97 and 95. Hingaton Downs have been dealt in at 3! and 31. Foreign and colonial mining shares are quiet.

All outward freights are lower, owing to the recent large arrivals of tonnage, the demand for ships is limited, and our quotations are only realised with difficulty. Homeward freights are firm, but few ships are taken as the merchants here are still reluctant to operate to any extent, except for ships on the passage out, and nearly due at the ports of loading.

In the House of Commons yesterday, the Mersey Docks and Harbour Bill and the Upper Mersey Dues Bill were read a third time and passed. Mr. Stansfield enquired in what manner the rejection of the paper duties repeal would affect the com mercial treaty ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied that the customs charge upon French paper would, in any case, be fixed at the same standard with the excise du . ,ty at home. Some discussion took place as to the legality of raising men and money for foreign powers. The Attorney- General said, in reply to Mr. Hope, that foreigners, though amenable to the English law, were not to be considered as subjects of the Crown, which was followed by some further discussion. After some further conversation, Lard Palmerston's motion for adjournment till Monday was agreed to. The House then went into committee on the Wine Licenses Bill, the reserved clauses yet remaining to be settled, and after some debate the bill passed through committee, and was ordered to be reported. There was a Bill under the consideration of the House of Commons on Wednesday which involves a principle somewhat similar to that of the Evglish Church-rate question,—we mean the Edinbugh Annuity Tax Bill. They do not, however, in this instance, seek to abolish the tax, but only, as Mr. Hadfield pointed out, ".to per petuate it in another shape." It was at first pro posed to form a cumulation fend for the perpe tuation of the tax, but the clause to that effect was withdrawn ; and the arrangement now is, only to diminish and fix the impost=making it six pence for a temporary period, and five pence in perpetuity,—the Lord Advocate stating, that when the Bill came into committee he intended to move the insertion of clauses to provide that, instead of accumulating a fund of £120,000, there sho - ald be a permanent rate, which would secure salaries of £699 a-year to 13 ministers,—care, however, being taken that the security for the paYinent of the rate should be as good as the city of Edinburgh could give. Mr. Black, op. behalf of the dissenters from the Scotch Establishment, expressed his approval of this, as at least provid ing the basis upon which a satisfactory settlement might be arrived at. A compromise, in short, is to be effected : the Kirk is not to be despoiled entirely of its rights of property, but only to a limited extent,—it gives up a part, that it may not lose the whole. But no such measure of par tial justice as even this will they mete out to the Church of England, ,in the matter of Church rates. The Kirk patronage in the city of Edin burgh is in the hands of the Town Council, which is composed of all sorts of religionists; and Mr. Black took occasion to deny a charge brought against them, that they exercised their patronage unjustly, declaring that when a majority of a congregation asked for a particular minister their wish was always complied with. There is no relaxation, apparently, of the efforts of the Radicais to get up a popular agitation against Lord Derby en the subject of the paper duty, which he has promised to aid Lord Mont eagle in preventing the repeal of'. But it won't all do. The country is deaf to the voice of the Radical charmer. One of our local contemporaries, deeply interested in the paper question, says, we observe, with reference to * the conjuncture, that "parties in Parliament stand at bay—ready for the encounter, but would rather that it did not take place. Each is busy in seeking to divine the other's thoughts, but prepared for consequences. Lord Derby, it is understood, is resolved on throwing out the Paper Duty Bill ; and, if he do, Ministers will instantly act upon the fact." But the question is, how act upon it ? We hear that it is confidently whispered in poli tical circles that Lord Palmerston himself, and three, if not more, of his colleagues, see as clearly as Lord Monteagle and Lord Derby do, that the million-and-a-half of revenue which the repeal of the paper duty would sacrifice cannot possibly be spared,—that it may not improbably be wanted, every shilling of it, before the year is out ; and that, therefore, like sensible men and prudent Ministers, they could not disapprove of the bill for repealing it being defeated by the Lords. If this, then, be true, it does not follow that Lord Palmerston would, in that event, resign. It is far more probable that he would seek to recon struct his Cabinet. At any rate, we quite agree with our contemporary, that " the Earl of Derby must have contemplated such arrangement as will naturally follow the defeat of the Paper Bill in the Lords ;" and that "if he has arrived at such arrangement he will stand the hazard of the die ; for he is not a man to flinch from responsibilities." There can be no doubt that Lord Derby is acting from a sense of duty ; and if Lord Palmerston will only act from a sense of duty also, a decision of the House of Lords adverse to the Bill would not necessarily be adverse to his Premiership. The subject of Turkey, and of the intentions of Russia towards that empire, is considered by the Horning Herald to involve " the ugliest problem for future solution which has ever fallen in the way of statesmen,"—yet a problem, it reminds us, which Nicholas of Russia was willing to solve a few years ago, but which France and England objected to his attempting, thereby inducing a fearful war. Our contemporary shows, however, how difficult it is to come to the conclusion that we are much nearer the Eastern crisis which all politicians have foretold, than we were even l i twenty years since. " All that can be said is, that the Christians' and Mahomedans are just now fighting harder than usual, that complaints are increasing, and ambassadors remonstrating ; and that Russia, in her pleasant way, increases the buzz of political gossip by sending a Royal Duke to Paris,"—all which is, certainly, some what ominous, and rather embarrassing. But it must be admitted, it is remarked, that the con dition of Turkey warrants a good deal of appre hension, not altogether on account of Turkish misrule, but partly, too, from the danger of Christian ambition. "We do not," it is declared, "counsel a tame acquiescence in repeated acts of injustice or religious persecution ; but if a remedy is to be applied, it must be used with the view of relieving, and not of killing, the patient. From all that we know of the traditional tendencies of the Muscovite, and of the actual intrigues now on foot, we are not disposed to regard the appeal of Prince Gortschakoff as dictated by the most friendly regard for the interests of the Ottoman Porte, and we are not sorry to find that our ambassador at St. Petersburg has given Europe to understand that England, at least, will be no party to any hostile demonstration against the Sultan's authority." Although the accounts of Garibaldi's progress in Sicily are scanty and conflicting, there is yet sufficient reason to conclude that he is to some extent succeeding in his object, and that the insurrection has, in consequence, assumed much larger proportions,—so much larger, that as one of our latest telegrams informs us, the King has solicited foreign intervention. Another state ment is that " the situation of affairs is compli cated by the march of a corps of Garibaldi's on their way from Tuscany towards Naples through the Roman States." If this be true, may it not be asked what General Lamoriciere and his Pon tifical army were about ? Are they holding back at Rome, until Garibaldi's onslaught upon the kingdom of Naples shall have become such as to justify their interposition in his Majesty's behalf? Meanwhile the remonstrance of the Neapolitan Minister at Turin with the Sardinian Cabinet ; and the statement that his Government " con siders it responsible for Garibaldi's expedition, and charges it with having aided and abetted it, laying it down that the expedition could never have sailed from Genoa without the connivance, avowed or concealed, of the Sardinian Govern ' ment ;" may not improbably be but the precursor of a much more formidable interposition than, that of Rome, affording, as it may, a pretext for Austrian interference also,—notwithstanding the excuse that the Sardinian Government could not restrain Garibaldi, and its allegation that it has succeeded in preventing the departure of two more ships with reinforcements for his expedition. A most extraordinary and exceptional state of things at present exists with reference to the amount of imports requiring storage at this port. There is said to be about a million of bales of cotton in warehouse, and the extent to which almost every other kind of produce is now stored here is unparalleled. To make matters more com plicated, there is an enormous quantity of cotton now on its way hither, and the authorities and importers are in a " dead fix" where to stow it when it arrives ; for already every_ available space is appropriated, and great quantities are of necessity lying about in open yards in the interior of the town, to the manifest deterio ration of the goods so exposed. The difficulty is admitted on all hands, and any little obstacle that may arise from existing bye-laws, passed at a time when such an emergency could scarcely have been contemplated, will no doubt be speedily got over to the satisfaction of all parties, so as to put every safe space for storage at the command of importers. At the same time, of course, those who are in authority must not be expected to throw every cautious con sideration to the winds, merely to please those who now clamour for temporary accommodation' at the risk of greater permanent interests which denynd primary consideration. THikitE are Radicals, it seems, in the House of Lords,—or, at any rate, ex-Radicals,--who appear to think that there is not information enough extant yet, to enable Parliament to legislate properly on Reform. We qualify our expression of Radical, by introducing the idea of the noble lord referred . to having, since he was raised to the peerage, become an ex-Radical ; because we are always anxious to give every one, in such cases, the benefit of a doubt. Sir BENJAMIN HALL, ewe can be no question, was a thorough-paced Radical. Bat now that he is Lord LLANOVER' it is as probable as it is natural that he should have come to see the error of his political ways, and to act accordingly. But be this as it may, he has certainly made a rather un-Radical motion in the House of Lords, un-Radical, because implying a Conservative anxiety to be rightly informed as to the effect of a low-rental franchise fer Parliamentary elections, and which would seem to indisate a misgiving, we repeat, as to the sufficiency of the clata upon which the calcula tions of the authors of the Refersa Bill have based so low a franchise as that proposed by the Minis terial measure. The motion of Lord LLANOVER is for returns of as many as fourteen items of information, — vizu i• The name of every Parlia mentary city a rni borough i n E ng l an d any Wales. 2. The number of tenements rasa to the relief of the poor at £ 8 and und er £9. 3. At B and under £lO. 4, At iO and upwards. 5. The total Of columns 2 , 3 , and 4. 6. The number of electors on the register. 7. The per-tentage that the number of electors bears to the numbers given in column 5. - 8. The number of tenements rated as above at £4 and under £5. 9. At £5 and under £6. 10. At £6 and under 17. 11. At £7 and under XS. 12: The total of columns 8,9, 10, and 11. 13. The numbers that might be placed upon the register if the same per-c entage is taken as shown in column 7. 14. The numbers in columns G and 13 added. Now, here is an amount and variety of information which one cannot but see, at a glance, it must be most important, not to say indispensable, to be pos sessed of, in calculating the working of a fran chise so low as that which Ministers have not scrupled to lay down in their Bill. And yet such information has still to be obtained; and a devoted Ministerialist has felt it necessary to ask for it. It shows how loosely, how vaguely, and therefore how rashly, they have gone to work with their measure,—upon what uncertain grounds they have decided to adopt a franchise, the effect of which it is already objected, would be to swamp the present classes of electors. 'Lord GREY'S motion for returns, now in course of preparation, is likely to furnish a great deal of similarly indis pensable information. But Lord LLANOVER'S goes into minuter details, and will thereby make the means of forming a correct conclusion still more complete. These returns, however, must take a considerable time to be made. It is not unreasonably to be presumed, therefore, that there are Ministerialists who do not expect the Reform Bill to be passed this session. It is fortunate for the cause of really safe and constitutional Parliamentary reform, that there is this delay,—fortunate, not merely for the reason we have just assigned—that of affording time for obtaining fuller and better information us to the basis of the franchise to be adopted ; but also as furnishing an opportunity of seeing illustrated more and more forcibly the principles and the objects of the Radicals, who are so clamorous for the Ministerial Bill,—and clamorous for it, not as satisfying, by any means, their demands, or realising their objects, but as being a great step, and a sure one, in that direction : so great, and so sure, as to encourage the most confident hopes of its soon leading to the accomplishment of all their ends, Such, then, being the case, it is fortunate, we say, that an occasion has arisen for their mani festing what these ends really are. The agitation against the House of Lords that has all at once sprung up has afforded this occasion. It is evident from the speeches and resolutions of the Radical meetings now taking place, that one of their Reform objects will eventually be the revo lutionary one of' doing away with the House of Lords as a branch—sand the best branch too, in our opinion—of the Legislature of the country. The adoption of motions committing the meetings to such a course of action as that of praying the House of Commons that in the event of the House of Lords rejecting the bill for the abolition of the excise upon paper, it will at once pass such a resolution as will indemnify her Majesty's Government, should they think proper to disre gard any action of the House of Lords upon that Bill ;—the adoption, we maintain, ofseuch a mode of proceeding as this ; is a clear indication of the seditious principles by which they are actuated, and the revolutionary objects they are seeking to attain. The effect of the House of Commons taking such a course as that which they here recommend would be to repudiate the consti tutional authority of an estate of the realm that is not only of equal power with, bit of a higher order than their own ; and the Government that should dare "to disregard any action of the House of Lords upon that bill," or upon any Legislative measure whatever, would by such an act have begun to pursue a treasonable course, for which no resolution of the House would afford any indemnity whatever. We unhesitatingly say treasonable ; because such an act would be, to all intents and purposes, an offence committed against the dignity and integrity of the commonwealth, which constitutes treason. An offence against the security of the commonwealth, equally as an offence against the security of the Crown itself, ee, aceui Meg to our constitutional law, treason. The term commonwealth, in such a case, is used to define an established form of legal authority—of legislation, and the administration of public affairs. It is the Constitution of the country which has been described as enacting and en forcing three regular species of government, —the monarchy, residing in the Sovereign; the aris tocracy, in the House of Lords; and the republic, being represented by the House of Commons—the perfection intended, and hitherto happily realleed, by such a combination, being to secure the ad vantages of the several simple forms, and to exclude the inconveniences. But such a resolution of the Radicals as that we have alluded to would destroy all this, or throw it into utter confusion ; and yet it appears that, at Manchester, when that revolutionary resolution was proposed, the meeting rase en masse and cheered it most vociferously, — thus acknowledging by acclamation the treason able ends they were ready - to pursue—the mono polising of all the legislative and administrative power of lie realm by the Commons, thus reduc ing it, at one fell swoop, to the condition of a republic, It is most important, therefore, we repeat, to know all this, before proceeding to pass a Reform Bill ; which they who are thus treasonably minded are so eager to accept as an instalment of their revolutionary demands. We heartily concur in a remark we read the other day, that " not only in London society, but in every part of the country, and not least in the great manu facturing towns, it is felt that the freedom and prosperity of England are inseparably connected with the maintenance of a rational constitution," —and that although it may perhaps be neces sary to make a change in accordance with the pledges which have been given, yet the unavoid able deterioration of the constituencies can never be in itself an advantage. There cannot, we are well convinced, be a doubt of this. But we see how not only the constituencies would, to a certainty, be deteriorated, but how such deterio ration would servo the ends of those who seek to revolutionise and republicanise the Constitution, —making it to be no longer a rational, but transformed into a most irrational, because most unsafe and mischievous political system.

Yesterday there was a grand bazaar and lottery at Great Crosby, for the benefit of the Charity Schools. There were thousands present ; and the day being very fine, and two or three bands being present, added much to the attraction. There were tents erected on the ground, and a great variety of flags floated over the field. Amongst the most conspicuous "bunting" was an immense flag, designed by Mr. John De Costa, com bining emblematic figures of England and America— the beauty of which was greatly admired. The day was passed in the utmost harmoy, and every one seemed to enjoy the scene. A is a the prizes and the fortunate winners will be duly published. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. THE ROYAL LYCEUM COMPANY. "GREEN BUSHES." Madame Celeste played her great and original character of lifiaini with thrilling effect last night, before a crowded house. The other attractions were received with the greatest applailS. Tonight, she appears as Cynthia, the Gipsy Qiiee;i, in " The Flowm of tl - 0 foi - est;" and t9-morrow evening, she makes her last appearance. THEATRE ROYAL. MR. AND MRS. C. KEAN. LOUIS XI." The third rlrgientation of " Louis XI " last Light was, if possible, a still greater success than either of the preceding ones. As we ventured to predict, the house was Elled from floor to ceiling almost as soon as the doors were opened ; and, as respects' applause and repeated ca).ls for the great, p.,^,t2r /o a pp ear efoye the curtain to receive t he unbounded applause of the audience, they w ere, as before, enthusiastic to a degree scarcely ever paralleled.h In glut, this is iir, c73lqllll'S greatest effort? he as far surpasses anything else he does on the stage, as his other ordinary performances challenge all competitors in the histrionic art. To-night Mr. and Mrs. Kean take their benefit in the characters of Shylock and Portia, in Shakespeare's great comedy of "The 'Merchant of Venice." Tomorrow night they take their farewell in " Louis XI. ;" and unfavourable as Saturday night generally is for many, there cannot be a doubt that this truly wonderful performance will again crowd the limits of "the Royal." Those who wish to secure seats had better look out. THE ORGAN PERFORMANCES AT ST. GEORGE'S HALL. We are glad to notice that Mr. Best's pleating per formances upon the grand organ have been attracting large numbers to St. George's Hall. It must be extremely gratifying to the originators to find their efforts to spread a taste for classical music among the people so cordially responded to. Still, more should avail themselves of this opportunity of hearing a first-class instrumentalist interpret the compositions of the great masters, upon so noble an instrument as that at St. George's Hall. At the performance yesterday, the attendance was highly respectable, but not nearly so numerous as the character of the entertainment deserved. The following was the programme : Overture "Samson" Handel. Oratorio "Alma Virgo" Hummel Reminiscences of the opera "Martha" FlotoNT. Proghiera __. ... " Dal tuo stillato" - - Rossini. The Wedding March, ....Mend eisiohn There will be another performance of an equally varied character on Saturday afternoon. BOWLING MATCHES, YESTERDAY. PINE APPLE.—Yeaterday, a silver tankard, worth £B, given by Mr. Turner, of the Pine Apple, Park-road, was played for on the green behind his hotel. Fifty persons competed; some fiae play was shown, and the game was won by Mr. Richard Lumb, Mr. John Crane playing him off. The weather was delightful, and a number of spectators assembled on the green. AINTREE.—This bowling match came off yesterday afternoon with great éclat. Upwards of 100 spectators —favoured with a splendid afternoon, both as regards the weather and the skill engaged in the contest — enjoyed a rare treat in being present at this healthy and invigorating pastime. M. Swift acted as referee, under whose supervision a friendly and refresh ing antagonism vas stoutly and artistically maintained between Messrs. Lewtars and Porter on the one side, and Messrs. Ganning and Crane on the other, with excellent skill and spirit, from three p.m. till a quarter past six p.m., about which time Messrs. Ganning and Crane were declared the winners by five, in tho proportion of 16 to 20. After this delightful game was finished, above a score of gentlemen sat down to dinner at the Sefton Arms, when a repast worthy of "mine host" was done ample honour to. The cloth having been removed, various loyal, patriotic, and local toasts were given and suitably responded to ; and one of the cost pleasant afternoon's amusements was thus con cluded with suitable and becoming conviviality round the social board. FIRE IN WATER-STREET. About half-past seven o'clock last Right a fire broke out in the office of Messrs. Melly, Forget, and Co., which is situated in the second storey of the building adjoining the prmises of the Lancashire Fire Insurance Company. The fire is supposed to have commenced at the time we have mentioned, but it was not discovered until a few minutes before eight o'clock, when flames issued tkom the Castle-street windows of the office. In a few moments the window frames were completely burnt, and the whole of the interior was seen to be in flames.• Mr. Fenning, of the Royal Insurance Company, was imme diately on the spot, as was also Mr. Hewitt and his energetic brigade. By Mr. Hewitt's direction a hose was introduced through the back of the front room, and from this point the water was directed upon the flames. The fire-was soon subdued, and comparatively but little injury has been sustained by the property. Some valuable goods which were in an adjoining room were slightly injured, but we believe they were fully insured in the Northern Insurance Company. By order of Major Greig the books and papers were removed to the Liver pool Bank. The proximity of the fire to the latter building might have been productive of serious results, but the exertions of the firemen completely extinguished the conflagration in about fifteen minutes. CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TWO HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. The Times draws attention to, the very serious conse quences which might ensue from a conflict between the two Houses of Parliament on the bill for the repeal of %he paper duty, and observes that whether the Lords are prepared to buy the rejection of this bill at such a price is for their consideration ; if they are, the Times does not see how it is to be i:oevented. Strict:formal right is on the side of the peers ; but the exercise of that right might be more pernicious than the commis sion of an ordinary wrong. The couuter more of the Comm Obs 'would be to vote every tax for only a limited period. Let us once add a quarrel between the two houses to the French Treaty, the paper duties, the Bankruptcy Bill, and the Reform Bill, and we shall arrive precisely at that dead lock in the burlesque play wkeve r.othing but the Queen's command in the shape of a dissolution will induce all parties to throw clown their swords and daggers. NAVIGATION OF THE DANUBE.—The French Com pany for navigating the Danube, says a letter from Marseilles, is about to be at last definitively organised. It has purchased at Lyons six steamers, which are to descend the Rhone to the Mediterranean, and are then to proceed to Constantinople and Galatz, where they are to ascend the Danube. To this company Prince Milosch of Servia has granted great privileges. SHOOTING AT SIGHT.—The shooting of John O'Neil, by Rooker, in D.enver city, is thus accounted for and , described in newspapers in that place. O'Neil had used slanderous language about Rooker, who accordingly challenged him. O'Neil chose bowie knives :as weapons, and a dark room for the place. These Roo'4e; 7., - ejected, whereupon O'Neil sent word that they would shoot on sight. With this arrange sent of the matter, Rooker stationed himself in the door of the Western Saloon, armed with a shot-gun loaded with buckshot. O'Neil had occasion to pass by, and as he did so, when Rooker saw him he cried out with an oath, " I've got you now," and immediately shot him. O'Neil, who had turned to go away, fell with his revolver cocked in his hand, simply uttering the words, " Rooker has killed me," and expired in ten minutes. The death of O'Neil was regarded more as an abatement of a nuisance than any thing else, and upon a sham trial Rooker was acquitted. —New York Paper. THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH IN HANOVER.—A royal order, recently issued, will effect a change in the mode of carrying the punishment of death into execu tion. The condemned is to be executed in an enclosed space, in the presence of two officers of the Crown, a registrar, who is to draw up a report of the details, a surgeon, and one or more ministers of the faith to which the criminal may belong. The crown deputy is to take care that twelve inhabitants of the neighbourhood shall attend to witness the execution ; and the defender of the accused, as well as his nearer relations, are to be per mitted to be present. If the space will permit, the Crown deputy can also grant admission to other discreet persons of the male sex, according to his judgment. The execution of the sentence is also to be made knOwn in the journal of the place wherein the court which passed the sentence sat ; and an account of the pro ceedings is to be publicly read by an official at some place in the neighbourhood as soon as possible after the official decree has been carried into effect.—Moritig Post. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The trees have everywhere shot out into luxuriant foliage ; the pastures have put on a bright green, and the grass is now rapidly growing. From all quarters we receive the same account, and our correspondents speak of the growth of vegetation as being so great that one can "almost see the grass grow." The change has come none too soon, for vegetation of all kinds was most backward, and the scarcity of keep for stock had reached a point that was really most serious in its effect upon agricul turists. Now, however, all is once more hopeful, and nature bids fair to compensate for past backwardness by an extrordinarily rapid growth. The crops are every where showing the beneficial effects of the recent moisture and warmth ; the wheats are fast recovering a vigorous appearance, while beans and peas, barley and oats have' already' derived immense advantage from the change. RePorts from the hop distriCts speak of great and rapid improvement, and in many places the poling will scarcely be completed before the tyers' services are required.

The Patrie asserts that the departure of t French squadron for Naples has been provisionagF suspended. The Opinione Nationale says that Admira l Jehenne has left for Naples, with four steamers , which have been sent on the demand of 800 Brenier, who apparently foresees the. approach of a revolution. The Opinione Nationale also contains the fo l. lowing:—lt is rumoured that Messina is in the hands of the insurgents. It is said that a tree.* offensive and defensive, has been concluded between Naples, Rome, Austria, and all th e deposed Italian sovereigns. The Patrie repeats, with reserve, the rumour that 5,000 men had embarked at Genoa, and dig" embarked in the Gulf of San Stefano, near Orhe' tello, a town in Tuscany, on the frontier of the Roman States. It is said that a provisional government hal been established at Marsala. MARSEILLES, May 16. The Levant (s), has arrived. She touched sr Messina on the 13th. The city was still quiet- The captain of the Syria, which arrived yesterday' has declared that on passing Marsala he noticed red flags on the town. He is not certain whether they were flags hoisted by the insurgents or hi the inhabitants. - The news published in the Pais Patrie, which was telegraphed to London at a late hour les t night, was communicated to that journal by th e ' Minister of the Interior. The semi-official journal Le Pays contained the following confirmation of Garibaldi's • success :".". Accounts from Italy, just come to hand, announce that the expedition of Garibaldi has develope6 itself with extraordinary rapidity, and that st present his success in Italy appears beyond que r tion. Garibaldi, after the landing of his volui r teers, appears to have succeeded, by means. of th e various dispositions he had prepared beforehand to concentrate and connect with each other the scattered limbs of the insurrection. It is asserted that he has captured the most important position* in the island, but to-day we can give no preci oe information on the subject. From other intellif gence of the most recent date it would aPPee r that portion of Garibaldi's expedition has landed . at Calabria, and that the insurrection, already triumphant in Sicily, threatens Naples and surrounding provinces. It will be understoe fl that we cannot guarantee the correctness of tilt facts so important; but the information which` reaches us from every side only leaves doubts to be entertained as to a few details. The Italian journals contain several' predator tions issued by Garibaldi, one is addressed to el! . Neapolitan army, another is to the inhabitants ° I Naples calling upon them to imitate the exampl e of the Sicilians by rising against the most impiO° of tyrannies ; a third calls Sicily to arms ; fourth proclamation is addressed to the Roraa os ' from which it would appear that at one time it WO Garibaldi's intention to have commenced °Peril tions in the Roman States. The Italian .National Society has also issu ed from Turin a circular to its friends in foreie countries inviting subscriptions, and statiXg*4' a beginning has already been madelit elasgolr- The faithful of the different States o f Enrol)° , at the instigation of their Bishops, are sending money to Rome for the purpose of subduing bY cannon and musket, and bringing again unde r the Papal yoke the Legations which have g'3l - in freeing themselves. Liberals ought tcl. imitate their example by coming to the aid of th e Sicilian insurgents. The departure of thQ steamer for the coasts e t.
