OCTOBER 11, 1859. - of a Considerable State in Northern Italy is essential to Malian Independence; and the determination, on the lathe r , of Austria to resist such an arrangement, cannot but present a conflict of purposes, difficult, if not im- Possible, all at once to overcame. And yet, if it be'not e overcome, it is evident there can be no peace. The ;.• 'exiled Dukes can only be restored by Austrian bayonets, E' a nd can only be kept in:their Sovereignties, when re stored, by similar means. And this would seem, at e P r esent, to be the only alternative of their annexati on r I 3 Sai•clinia. The French Emperor, meanwhile, will 1 / 1 11 Y give advice; and that advice, it is understood, Vould . not go the length of favouring a Sardinian an nexation. The French Government is 'now interposing at Parma, in a way which shows a determination to resist that revolutionary movement which, under cpver. 'of the late war, was to easily effected. The French 'Consul has been directed to quit Parma, unless exem plary punishment be immediately inflicted on Colonel Anviti's murderers. Should this not be done, it Is fully expected that the French Government Will declare that anarchy exists in Parma, and that foreign intevention must now put a stop to popular This intervention may not unlikely give a new 'urn to the whole proceeding. In the , meantime, the e of Parmese independence would seem to be in a most critical position. The two brutal murders, one in South Staffordshire, the other in Yorkshire, which have occurred within the las t few days, are sa id t o b e a tt r ib u t a bl e, we o b serve , t o the " same, fruitful source of crime—jealousy." But for the re a l source of this, and other descriptions of Clee riltle ' now so fearfully on the increase, we must go per than that. Jealousy may have been the imme diately exciting cause, but this arises, as too many other less di sre provocati ons to outrage now-a-days do, from that reek gard of moral and religious restraint which at pre sent pr evails to so appalling an extent among the lower l ' a sses of the people. There is evidently a spirit abroad, under the influence of which, such as get infuriated by passi on will s t op at nothing to grat i fy their revenge. This latent cause of so much dreadful crime, therefore, needs to b e d ealt with in a very different manner from th at which is usually adopted. el The Wakefi e ld election commission cont i nues to dis ese a course of bribery and corruption pursued for the z n r Leatha purpos e o f effecting. the return of the Liberal candidate, in, which far excee d s in extent anything one an id ea of before. Sums varying from ten to sixty poun ds were freely offered, and as freely taken, for votes ° n his behalf. In the examination on Saturday, nearly ,t7entY In confess e d t o th e i r h av i n g received bribes P oor e ' twe nty, tw "tY, thirty, an d one or two of them even fifty i n -14, - , s, for th e i r votes I It is amusing to see to what told f n s o g tr elli°llB e xcuses the Lib era l s ar e having recourse under ei endous ;,„ an exposure of their corruption. We are endeavou ' or —B ‘ a neel that " while the Liberals have really their p w e ed to aid the commissioners to the utmost in will 7 e ; t he Conservatives, when their turn comes, conditYet off f ilv see res - r ?" most unwilling witnesses,—the great , aria . m y observed by the latter in the object elections having led to this opinion.". The course, of eL sac h a statement as this is easily seen. Of t esti ue C onservatives cannot be expected to bear p racti nlon y to bribery and corruption which they have not pretend s ; and yet, because they may not do so, it is d thatthey "unwilling witnesses ," and that uothi ng , c are Aecr es , a n be got out of them on account of the " great tra- invariably observed ! " This, we say, is a most n ie loos mode of excusing the Liberals ; but it is too nsParent to be available. THE GREAT EASTERN.

The AMeriCan forces on San Juan had just been increased to 700 men, and' the camp had been removed to a still stronger position.

No British troops had been landed on San Juan. The writer . severely censures the American Boundary Commissioner. He took suck a part, that, to a civilian, he may be said to have assisted in the landinc , of the in vading expedition. It was stated that he offered free passages to San Juan, and free gifts of land on the island, to all American citizens who would come and squat on it ; that he did this, representing himself in his official character as commissioner, which added weight to his offers.

The premises of Mr. Reddish, jeweller and silversmith, were broken into by some thief or thieves, who, with a bracebit, cut a circular hole in the shutters, fifteen gold and sil ver watches, a great number of rings, and other pro perty being stolen. It is feared that with the facilities of disposing of. property of this kind, that the thieves will escape detection, the evidence against these two men being very small. They were removed to Retford to await an enquiry before the magistrates. ' SINGULAR INFORMATION AGAINST Two LICENSED Vroxtrarxtrts,—At the late show of the Kendal Agri cultural Society, two landlords, named Livesey and Stewardson, had booths in the field for the sale of spiritnous liquors, &c., having been informed by the Inland Revenue thdt no notice would be taken by them of the proceeding. Against these parties, however, Mr. Edward Whrtwell, on behalf of the Kendal Association for the Prevention of the Illegal Sale of Intoxicating Liquors, laid an information for selling off their licensed premises : and the case was heard by the Kendal magis trates on Friday. An objection to the effect that the act only contemplated the laying of the charge by an officer of excise was over-ruled. It having been urged for the defence that there was no evidence to convict-- inasmuch as the prosecutor had not proved by taste that the liquor sold. was" excisable, and had given no proof that the place where it was sold was not part of the licensed premises—the magistrates convicted Livesey, reducing the penalty to £5, the lowest possible amount. The case against Stewardson was not pressed. An appeal against the decision will be made at the quarter sessions, FRAUDS IN PARIS.—The sudden discovery made of the vast extent to which the Mont de Piste has been defrauded of late, has caused the greatest consternation amongst the silversmiths and jewellers of Paris, who are uncertain how far the transactions in which they have been engaged for the last six months may have been affected. Daring that spate of time an individual has been ; pawning at every bureau of the Mont de Piste in Paris, silver ingots of various size and weight, all bearing the legal stamp, and marked with the legal poincon of the government. Thieves always overshoot the mark, and so it happened in this case. So many of these silver ingots were presented—they were so heavy and so peifect, so above all suspicion, that at last they began to be suspected, and sent to, the Mint, in order to undergo a more close and detailed exa mination than the establishments at Mont de Pike have at command. Just imagine the great and horrible surprise ! The ingots, which had been valued at 1,000 f., and had raised the wind accordingly, were here set down as worth two francs five ! The ingenious individual is captured. He is proud of his success, and his artistic vanity defies both the prisons and galleys. He says, " Never mmd, sure to make a jolly fortune some day or another," and already talks of the golden days he will spend when released from durance. The metal is composed of regulus antimonii, pewter, and lead. The author of the discovery is decidedly a genius. He has admitted no one to a participation in his secret, and has Worked alone for months in a solitary house, close to the Fort of Montrouge. It is reported th a t he is the nephew of one of the professors of the Sorbonne, and that, holding an inferior position in his uncle's house hold, and employed by him to sweep and clean his laboratory, accident occasioned the discovery of which he has made such criminal use.—Letter from Part's. ' MURDER AT MOTHERWELL. —Early ox Thursday morning, upon the road leading from Motherwell past the village of Windmill-hill, in the parish of Dalziell, situate at a distance of two miles from Hamilton, a young lad named John Wylie, aged about etghteen years, an underground waggon-driver, met an untimely death under the following circumstances :—lt appears that on Wednesday night a dancing club had met in the house of Alexander Smith, publican, near Mother well, where a number of colliers, miners, and others had been enjoying themselves. Among others in that house, but not connected with the dancing party, were four miners, viz., two brothers, named James Anderson and Joseph Anderson, and also two brothers, named James M‘Phee and John M'Phee, all of whom had left Smith's public-house at eleven o'clock, and went on their way towards home together. Before reaching home, and while opposite M'Phee's lodgings, several persons, including. Wylie, the deceased, and some women from the dancing club, passed them on the road while they were there. An altercation commenced in some way or other between one of the four and another of the dancing party, which resulted in blows being struck. The Andersons and M'Phees are reported to have immediately seized paling stobs, which they foand in the hedge close at hand, and by one of which weapons Wylie was struck on the head, knocked to the ground, and never rose again. One of the party bolted off when he saw the paling stobs made use of, and on his return to where Wylie lay, he ob served him lying on his back, lift his hand, and place it across his breast.

[We do not Itaarourselvei.responsibk.for the &pinions of our correspondents] CHURMRATE :AT SZ. HELEN'S TO THE EXI'9)R OF THE NORTIEFALN.IXttILY si TIME d" S. B Sia,—Had the letter in Friday'k gne y order of the Committee, Thomas. Watson, Sec retar y , " appeared in trSt. Helen's paper, shoakl not think it necessary to mply to it. To those cognizant of the facts of the ease, it would carry with it its own refuta tion. As i ts, statements will have circulated more widely in the columns of the ./Ifercuryi,allow me the favour of a brief reply itnyour paper. "-The•Committee," through their secretacy accuse me of "-perversion of facts," and give as prootl of my stateme*, that at one o'clock, on the third die.g of the poll, thew was a majority of 18 in favour of the rate. I made tlii.S.statement on the autho rity of the-poll-clerk, who I find, on inquiry, had added up the totali incorrectly : a filet of which I was left in ignorance till 'I this day made tho inquiry. However, whether there were a dozen votes on one side or the. other, would have in no \rely affected the result, if fair play had teen given. I stated that there were about 150 voters:on the church side ready to record their votes, who wee , shut out by the• well-concerted plans of their opponests. And how is. this statement met ? It is called " sheer nonsense." . I beg to correct my state ment. It .was not Trite aceoefing to fact. I have since ascertained that the voters present and ready to vote, considerably exceeded: that number. I stated that the opponents of the rate got possession of the entrance to the polling place at two o'clock : that they sent up a number of persons who had no. votes ; and thus practically shortened the time for polling. Saeh was the case, The committee state that out of the first 22 six polled for the rate; but they wisely ab stain from stating bow many disqualified persons pre sented themselves, whilst these votes were being re corded. I may add, that a very large number of this class, belonging to the opponents of the rate, attempted to record votes whilst the number of the disqualified who presented themselves on the church side throughout was very small. ft would not, in the least, have prejudiced my state ment, to have admitted that; the solicitor employed by the opponents of the rate had objected to many of the votes recorded, had I explained, a s s I now do, the ground of his objection—which was; that persons whose poor rate, was paid through their landlords, although their names were regularly entered in the rate-book as per sons assessed above the amount required by law, had, nevertheless, no right to vote in vestry. I overruled this objection, as I believe, properly, and recorded their `i I votes. " Dr. Carr complains of hindrances to his voters, and ventures to record one instance." Do the Committee mean to say that there was but one ? They imply thus much. Do they mean to say that they were, not cogni sant of a scheme to prevent votes beini , recorded in favour of the rate on the 3rd day ? Did they know nothing of a plan to prevent the sub-manager of the Ravenhead Plate Glass Co. from recording the Compa ny's votes ? They are not aware, perhaps, that this gentleman received warning that such a- plot was hatched; -but unfortunately did not believe it. The " bottling," notwithstanding, was purely accidental! No collusion : no preparation. Masters happened to be there ; and their men happened to be there, too. The masters happened to give the word of command ; and the servants happened to be prepared for it. But it was all mere accident ! All, undesi ° crned coincidence ! an amalgamation of elements drawn together by some inexplicable but irresistible impulse ! And thus voters, who would have carried the rate by a large majority, Were accidentally excluded.: and the rate was accident ally lost! The only probable solution of the mystery seems to be; that a large compound of chemical elements of an inflammable nature accidentally mingled together, and thus produced a spontaneous combustion ! It is more than intimated, that whilst Churchmen generally conducted themselves peaceably, and "the Committee who opposed the rate acted heartily on that principle," 'the Chairman was the only exception. I think I might appeal to the parishioners of all classes and creeds, to say whether; during a residence of more than 13 years amongst them, I have been a disturber of peace, public or private. J may remind the Committee further, of the conduct of their friends, including that of their Chairman at thb last vestry meeting, whoSe attack upon the Churchwardens was considered so improper, that it was stopped by one of his own party. The Committee seem to have forgotten, likewise ' that at the same meeting, Mr. Bishop could not obtain a hearing for a most 'pacific proposition, through the clamour of their party. And they have to be reminded, that at the ter mination of this uproarious meeting, a vote of thanks to the Chairman was moved by the impugnant of the Churchwardens, and seconded by the gentleman who induced him to bring his remarks to an abrupt conclu sion. • These facti indicate, pretty Clearly, where .the' accusation would apply. It may throw further light ,on it to state, that at the termination of the poll, the Chairman was compliinented by the law-adviser of the opposing party, on the manner in which he had .dis charged his duties. The Committee, perhaps, knevr nothing, moreover, of the insults offered to the Chair ' man, as ha left the. Town-ball, after the proceedings, „. ~c . numoer, . iiia„, Prominent 04e , amongst them, however, did. Under hi; presiding genius I was hooted and followed by the mob, and but for the police, I should have been assaulted. This was done in open day, and cannot be a secret to "the Committee," and yet I have not heard of their taking any steps for the removal of this seditious member. Will "the Com mittee" appeal to the numerous exciting placards that covered the walls, in proof of their love of peace ? Can they show anything corresponding to them on the side of the Churchmen ? So much for their love of peace, and their liberty of conscience ! The liberation party will be no gainers by their no minal and short-lived triumph here. Their edlidttet in this disgraceful affair has aroused a spirit of indigna tion which is sure to result from the substitution of stratagem and brute force for "law and order." And, unless Englishmen chane their nature, the Liberation Society, by such proceedings, will drive from its ranks every member that has any pretension to challenge to himself a name for respectability. I am, sir, your obe dient servant, EDWARD CAR; LL.D., Chairman of the Vestry, St. Helen's, Bth Oct., 1859. Mr. John E. Gowan, the contractor for raising the sunken vessels as Sebastopol, has, says the Boston Post, been invited by the Allied Commissioners on the Danube to raise a large number of vessels sunk at the Sulina entrance of the Danube, and to remove some serious impediments. He has also been invited by the Aus trian Government to raise several ships of war and large war steamers sunk in the harbour of Venice during the late war. We, Inverness Courier, understand that the ball and banquet to be given to the officers and men of the 78th Highlanders, are to come off on the 21st instant. His Grace the Duke of Richmond is expected to be present, and there is a probability that his Rbyal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who is .to visit Gm don Castle in the course of this month, will honour the meeting with his presence. GROWTH OF AN AMERICAN CITY.—At the time when this treaty was concluded, the infant settlement con sisted of 94 cabins and 10 frame houses, and contained about 500 inhabitants. This was not so bad in seven years, considering the losses occasioned by the war and the epidemic. Five years later, half as many more had been added to the population, which at the expiration of another 50 years had attained the number of 118,700. At the present time the inhabitants are estimated at 225,000, or, including the suburbs on the opposite bank of the Ohio, at 250,000 souls. The natives of Cincin nati may well be proud of the Queen City of the West as they call her, where within the lifetime of a single man a forest of gigantic beech and maple trees has been transformed into a city of a quarter of a million inhabitants, with a future prospect of becoming one of the most important in the United States.—Literary Gazette. LOVE'S LABOUR LOST.--Last week, says the Daily Chronicle, a butcher, belonging to North Shields, mar ried a wife, in the church of an outbing village ; and after the ceremony, the party adjourned to the Coach and Horses," where they regaled themselves with strong drink. From thence they went to another house, where they had another drinking bout. While so carousing, an old sweetheart of the bride dropped in, and while the party were in "high jinks" he put his arms round her neck and gave her a kiss. This enraged the bridegroom, and a fight took place. it at herself e lr It is at b b r i e l e w gr ee o n o ni t , he and i shortly ii W u Ae adg th u e pana r id i l v d a fi l_ i s ;were s ing h parring on the floonr;,.thtoeokwiofife his t a h f taetrl loss. thesasr. afterwards bridegroomm ade off withsobbed her. a former mwe wept plover. most COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BALMORAL, October 7 Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort, the Prince of 'Mks, and Princess Alice, undertook yes terday the asaent of Ben Muick Dhui.

The-Bishop of Ripon has addressed a letter to the clergy of his diocese, in which he says :—" As the result of in quizies, which I have carefully made in almost every part of the diocese, I find, with regard to the late harvest, the testimony is uniform that, although the crops have tot been.more than usually abundant, the weather for gather ing them has been unusually favourable. In many places I have been informed that so fine a season for collecting the fruits 'of the earth has not been experienced for many years. ' I have also heard; with equal gratification, thdt trade is prosperous, and that in all the great centres of manufacturing industry, these is abun dance 'of employment in the several departments of commercial enterprise. ' These are blessings which call for devout thankfulness to Almighty God, and I have reason to believe that a very general response will be readily given to an invitation to united praise for the Lord'a goOdness, as displayed in seniAng us favour able weather, and filling our hearts with food and gladnesi. I venture, therefore, to suggest that Sunday, the 23rd instant, be regarded as a day of special thanks giving throughout this diocese ; and that you Should upon that day call the attention of foul congregations to these grounds for thankfulness to 'which I have ad verted. It will at once occur to you that the occasion will be an appropriate one for inviting your parishioners to contribute a freewill offering to the glory of God, as an expression of that gratitude which the many mercies we have experienced so greatly demand. •We are directed to honour the Lord with our substance; and with the first fruits of all our increase ;' nor is- the promise wanting of a still richer abundance to follow upon the discharge of this duty." MR. ROBERT • 'STEPHENSON, 31. P.—We sincerely regret to learn that the above respected member of the House of Commons continues in a very precarious state. The medical report yesterday afternoon was that Mr. Stephenson had passed a more easy night, but was gradually getting weaker, and but very remote hopes are entertained of his recovery. - THE TESSOP MURDER.—A man named Cregh has been arrested near Clare ' in the King's County, on the charge of being implicated in the agrarian murder of Thomas Jessop. A. man called Mahon has also been lodged in the vol. Both were seized in bed, and on. the bolster being raised a pair of pistols, capped and loaded, a bullet mould, and powder and shot, were dis covered. The prisoners were 'evidently prepared for resistance, but the police proceeded so cautiously that a scuffle did not take place. ' EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF GOVERNMENT STORES.—For some time past suspicions have been entertained that large quantities of rope were missing from the' stores at Woolwich Dockyard, and Mr. Inspector Vincent, of the dockyard police, has at length succeeded in the discovery of a system of fraud which has been carried on in a wholesale manner by two persons who were heretofore deemed re spectable tradesmen. On Saturday last Mr. Wm. Sinnett, an extensive wharfinger and contractor, residing at 22, Southwark-bridge-road, and Mr. William Clapham, land krd of the Ferry-house Tavern, Rainham, Essex, were charged, the former before Mr. Bureham, at the South wark- Police-court, and the latter before the magis trates at the Ilford petty sessions, with the possession of large quantities of rope which had been manufactured at the government roperics of Chatham, Portsmouth, and Plymouth. Mr. Inspector' Vincent proved that he found about 350 fathoms of rope in a shed on Et wharf occupied by Sinnett, who stated that he had pur chased the property of Clapham. The officer then pro:- ceeded to Rainham, and found a lug* quantity of government rope on the premises occupied by Clapham. The prisoner Sinnett pleaded guilty, and requested Mr. Bnrcham to deal with the case, but the magistrate committed the prisoner for trial at the next Old Bailey sessions. The prisoner Clapham was remanded for a week for the attendance of the Admiralty solicitor. Ayorting Illntritifjcart, RACING FIXTURES, 1859.
