WHOLESALE PAPER WAREHOUSE, 19, SOUTH JOHN-STREET, LIVERPOOL, SARDINIA The Dir itto, a journal published at Turin, has the fol lowing :—" I believe it urgent to answer another objection. I have been told that by counselling the national party in Italy to confide in the Piedmontese government I render the patriots of Italy apathetic, and I preach inertness. Now nothing could be further from my intention. I said that the national party in Italy ought to give its co-operation to the Piedmontose government, in the event of that govern ment entering on the way which conducts to the common end—viz., the independence and unity of Italy. The national party does not abdicate ; it cooperates. Co operation is action, and not inertness. Already in March, 1854, when I protested against the counsels of Lord John Russell, I affirmed that we should ever agitate until such time as our inextinguishable aspirations for national independence were satisfied. . _ " And now, in the name of the great national party, I say to the Italian patriots, Agitate, agitate, ardently, inceesantly, until our object be gained—until Italy shall become one and independent.' " I have every confidence that theTiedmontese govern ment will be with us, and that confidence is increased- by recent events. If Ibe deceived, it would be a great mis fortune ; but even then the Nati ona l I ta li an party s h ou ld not desist from its labours. In any case, and in any event, and until Italy becomes independent and one, Italians, all you who love your native land, listen to the word which comes to you from the exile, 'Agitate, agitate p NAVAL. —The W.

What such a combination against peace, England's commerce States, and Lancashire's existence, will lead to, is by no means difficult to foretell. England and France go out to interfere with, and chastise American filibusters, and thereby endanger the peace of the world. Spain, who has not yet shaken off the odium of her NERO'S, CORTES, and PIZARRO, is to demand of Mexico, forsooth ! immediate atonement for the wrongs and sufferings inflicted on Spanish sub- jects. Prussia can find money and inclination for war against Western civilisation, and sends out her naval force to protect the subjec . s of the .Zolive_ rein! Did earth ever before bear witness to such solemn mockeries, as those of the two last named Powers ? In a war with the United States, it would be impossible to calculate England's material losses and France's diplomatic gains. The preEent Con tinental policy appears to have been designed to draw us into positions in which we shall lose that trade which is our chief support in peace, and only reliable succour in war. If we have not already fallen a prey to these designs—if blood has not already been shed in Central America—we are drifting rapidly into the vortex of Continental intrigue, and armed strife ou the American waters seems to be almost inevitable. It can only be avoided, in fact, by a solemn expression of public opinion against an American war. The magnitude of the European league directed against the States will cause their peoFle to arm to the teeth, and force them to become belligerents in self defence. The appear- ante of the Spanish ships in the Gulf of Mexico, the whole of the Mexican will once more unite people, and the entire family of Republics in America, as one man. And unless the Governments of England and France are pledged to defend the fleets of Spain, Prussia, and Austria, South against the nations of North and South America their annihilation will be the sequel to their adventurous exploits in the New World. Mexico only needs union to render her a most formidable military power, and bound to the States by common ties of self-preservation, will assume a character in a struggle for deliverance from European domination, which our diplomatic wiseacres have no idea of. The watch word in such an unholy contest, must be, America against Europe ; that is, if Great Britain should continue her present game of " follow the leader," and become the enemy of the Anglo-Saxon race, and the expatriated children of the Continent. To escape from being plunged into such an awful position, the public must at once bestir them selves. What is Manchester and the other large manufaCturing towns of the North about ? Are diplomatists to have it all to themselves ? And are the merchants and trading clasSes in the manufacturing districts to remain wholly silent, when each American and Paris mail discloses some fresh hostile movement on the part of Euro pean diplomatists, and increased apprehensions in the States ? The London Times has devoted its columns for several days to the publication of what can only be looked on, as a justification of war with the United States. Protocols, treaties, blue books, despatches, and official conversations have all been paraded and anatomised by our cotem porary, to show that the States must be attacked or some one of the many charges laid on their backs. And being thus forewarned, it will be no proof of our wisdom, and desire to be on terms of friend ship with all nations, if we say, we devoted yester day to the celebration of the restoration of peace. If we are to enjoy such blessings, we must labour to render them real, and to preserve them. We must not stand quietly, and see that strength which we may require near home, wasted on the other side of the Atlantic. We have just seen how many friends we have in Europe; and let us not attempt to add all America to the list of our doubtful friends or open enemies. To prevent the possibility of such things taking place, to preserve our trade and commerce, and to escape the scourges of a most unnatural and impious war, we must protect, without delay, against Great Britain's being made a cat's paw by those who seek to enter on a career of bloodshed— a design which all the tact of this advanced age cannot disguise, all the sophistry of man can never juste face of 'leaven or earth• hich HEALTH OF THE BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER AND BR ISTOL,— 'we regret to learn from a correspondent that the IBishop of Gloucester and Bristol is in a very weak state of health.

The Directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly meeting to-day, have reduced their mini mum rate of discount from six to five per cent. This measure does not appear to have been generally expected for a week or two yet. Singu larly enough, however, the announcement has failed to prevent a fall of a quarter per cent. in the funds. This contradictory movement of the stock market is attributable to unfavourable statements with reference to our relations with the United Now the Peace rejoicing are over, what shall we say of them? As a holiday the 29th of May was eminently successful. As a political d( nlnstra' tion it was a failure. It will answer no State pur pose nor party ends.

On one point the LIVERPOOL HORTICULTURAL AND FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY. The first annual exhibition of this society was held yesterday, in a spacious marquee, at the Botanic Gar- The number of specimens exhibited was not so large as on some former occasions, although the ,number of contributors was much larger. The first object that attracted nothe, on entering the show, was some beau tiful specimens of rhododandrons, which were much admired, as were also the splendid collections of heaths, pelargoniums, cactuses, fuschias, verbenas, which showed to what perfection the cultivators of these flowers had arrived in their profession. To single out any particular collection, where all were so excellent, would be an invidious task ; therefore, we can only congratulate each and all of the exhibitors on the suc cess they experienced, not alone by the remuneration of receiving the prizes, but upon having their " handy_ works" so much admired by the thousands who visited the show, and their skill and industry so much appre ciated. With regard to the 'exhibition of roses, which was very large, nothing could surf shown ; and pass the specimens the tulips were most magnificent There were some very splendid collections of flowers, of every description, modelled in wax, showing the care and attention which the lady manipulators must hive devoted to that particular branch of art. The show of fruits and vegetables was not so large as we have witnessed, but there were some excellent specimens.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING The French Government, as I have more than once had occasion to tell you, is by no means negligent of what takes place in America, and especially of the proceedings of Walker. In the semi official Patrie of this evening there is an article on the talked of recognition of Walker, by the United States Government, which is,interest ing as showing what the views of the French Government are. This recognition, says the Patrie, would be a flagrant violation of the Bulwer Clay ton treaty, and an interpretation, abusive and menacing, for the future of America of the Monroe doctrine. Such a policy. if it were adopted by the United States, would not fail to excite the most serious considerations on the part of the Great Powers, to which are more specially confided the mission of maintaining the political equilibrium, not only in Europe, but in the whole world. I told you some days back, that a steamer was to be sent to Civita Vecchia, to bring to France the Cardinal, who is to act for the Pope at the baptism of the Imperial Prince. It appears that, in order to give greater e_lat to his visit, two steamers are to be sent—the Duchayla and the Promethee. They are to leave Toulon early in the ensuing week, and the Abbe Coquereau, chief chaplain in the fleet, is to go out in one of them to receive the Cardinal. Marshal Pclissier is expected to arrive here in the course of ten days or a fortnight. H e h as been summoned to attend the baptism of the Imperial Prince. The Moniteur announces, this morning, the con clusion of a treaty between France and Saxony for the mutual protection of literary and artistic property. I was enabled to comnineicate this fact to you many days back. The official journal also reports the judgment of the Tribunal of Nassy, condemning Count de Chambord (die rightful King of France, according to legitimist notions), to restore some forests of immense value which were illegally given to his grandfather by Louis XVI., and which he has since held. This fact, also, I was able to communicate to you several weeks back. According to the Independence of Brussels, the Prussian Cabinet has notified to that of Turin that it will not interfere in Italian affairs, whatever may happen. Warsaw letters say that the Emperor Alexander, in a speech to the nobles of that city, expressed his gratitude for the fidelity with which the Poles set ved him in the war, and promised to do all he could to promote their welfare ; but carefully abstained from promising any of, the political reforms which had been expected, and warned them not to indulge in " dreams" of separating their country from Russia. . The "Danube," from Constantinople, has brought accounts 01 more disturbances between the Turks and Christians at Jerusalem and in Roumelia. be no doubt— the absolute and pressing necessity of gett troops away from this' place he hot weather Sets in. If we Id not have fever decimating our troops as much as the rigours first winter, our army must be tranferred, if it be only to the Bondi° station from which the sun draws with redoubled force vapours. We must remember the small space on which, for nearly two years, this vast armament has of the from a acli successive day is most pestilential been encamped ; that, for nem ly the whole of that ime j many regiments have been on, the same ground, without once changing their position, and putrefaction: Typhus has already begun to make its appearance, and, in my o .vn camp, has begun its ravages with a violence remarkable even for that terrible plague. As an instance of the state in which the ground is, the other day an officer of a regi ment which had been removed to another camp, in pitching his tent, found, immediately below the surface, and, just beneath the spot he had chosen for his bed, the body of a dead ox in the first stages of decomposition; he happened to discover this rather unpleasant circumstance . in time, but I have no doubt that many a gallant soldier unconsciously slumbers over similar emblems of mortality. The sun each day gains redoubled power, and its searching rays willisoon find out their . hidden abominations and spread the tale through' our thickly peopled camp. Some regiments are already on their way to other lands ; those destined for Canada were the first to go; and the 9th, 39th, 17th, 62nd, and 63rd are already on their way to the land of the West. The Buffs (3rd) have also left for Corfu. But there seems now a pause, and a grim report is current, that before any other regiments leave, the Sardinians are to be returned to their homes and the contingents, artillery and cavalry, successively to be disposed of. The Guards look on at all this with an expression of dismay, and begin to think their Royal mistress has forgotten her household troops ; and much do those gallant warriors chafe at the delay. In the mean time ; touring it into the interior, and horse fairs, are the order of the day. The latter have attained an importance they never had before, in consequence of a general order, which informed officers of the impossibility of providing transport home for their chargers. The favourite bagagers of infantry•mounted officers were immediately at a discount, and in many instances the stalwart'pony, that had borne his master over many a dyke and through all the winter's slush, was transferred to the canteen-man for a dozen of Guinness's stout. As a set off against the above ()icier, another gene ral order shortly after came out, giving notice of a great horse fair to be held on the other side of the Tchernaya, when the Russians would attend to buy any horses offered for sale. I need hardly say that that the roads down to the Tchernaya from our camps, were crowded with horses of every descrip tion, from the thorough-bred charger to the broken kneed bagager ; but alas ! they were all doomed to return to their stables. The Russians seemed, how ever to have a low idea of herseflesh,and for a charger worth seventy guineas, they seemed to think they were stretching a point in offering £5, on condition 'the owner threw saddle and bridle into the bargain. And so, that to British officers wishing to leave in Russia specimens of the English charger, the sale proved rather too much of " a sell." The exploring expeditions into the interior, if not more profitable, were at least more successful. On referring to the map of the Crimea, you will see that a high road leads from Sebastopol through Backtchi-Serai to Simpheropol, and thence through Alouchta, along the coast home to Balak lava ; this is generally the route taken, and the journey takes up about six or seven days. I went it last week, and, certainly, the scenery (especially along the coast) amply repays the toil and labours of the journey. We started early in the morning, three in number, on horseback, with two servants on mules, carrying our baggage, and we rode the first day through Tchorgouna, or the Korales Pass, to Backtchi-Serai, a distance of about thirty miles. Tchorgouna is a little village, or rather what was `a village, on the banks of the Tchernaya, for the ruins are all that are now left to mark the spot. From this place the road leads through the most beautiful orchards to the cele brated Korales Pass. It was through this pais that the Russians expected us to advance into the interior, and they have therefore, through the whole length of it,.defended it with batteries and earthworks. It has, however. in itself .the greatest natural fortifications; and the precipitous walls of rock, that run along on each side, almost hide the light of the sun from the ravine. The rocks have, as well as in the other portions of the Crimea, been thrown into the greatest disorder by volcanic agency, and" heighten the'effect of the scenery by - their grotesque shapes and singularly formed peaks. At the end of the pass lies the little village of Korales, where still dwells with her three daughte'rs the Tartar princess, Adel Bey, A little to the left of the village is a fortress inhabitedby Circassians, and on the rocks above frown the ruins of an ancient gothic fortress, mixed with the remains .of a Greek church. In fact, the memorials of the successive inhabitants of the Crimea jostle each other in a proximity that is a painful moral on human vanity. The road from Korales to Balachi- Serai lies for the whole distance over a barren steppe; no tree or shrub is to be seen till a turn of the road suddenly brings you on the valley, in 'Which lies the " Palace of Gardens," or, as the Tartars call it, " Baktchi-Serai." This is a primitive Tartar town, and the Russians have allowed the Tartars to inhabit this and another town (Kasa-Sa-Barar), unmolested, and to . en joy their own customs and laws. It is now filled, however, with Russian soldiery ; and at .the time I was there the beautiful Serai . or Palace of the ancient -Tartar-Khans, was filled with Russian soldiers dying of typhus. The steppe still continues to Simpheropol, which is as com pletely a Russian town, as Baktchi-Sergi is Tartar. ,From Simpheropol, however, to Balaklava the whole coast range is one continuation of the most lovely scenery ; the most beautiful ravines, fertile valleys filled with oliveyards, vineyards, mountains covered with verdure to their, very summit, extend the, whole way, while villas and mansions raise their glittering domes at every available spot. Prince Woronzoff has a beautiful palace at Aloopka,- and the Emperor another one ' at Orianda, • on which have been lavished all the taste and luxury which unbounded wealth could command. Along the whole coast the Russians have telegraphs and signals, and have fortified every Mountain pass and accessible point. ' The Tartars (on whose hospitality in theee ,jour neys you are often entirely thrown) are a fine race; they are particularly handsome and well formed, and you rarely see a deformed - or ugly person among them ; they are leaving the Crimea in num bers, dreading the anger of the Russians: It was mournful, indeed, as you rode along, to see their deserted villages ; and as you bivouacked for the 'night in the deserted waggon of some Tartar' squire, you were too well remindeot that war has another side to .the picture besides the glittering one of glory.
