'rejoiced. 'to hear the good news that the - day on which the new charter was announced is consi derectby the people as the first happy birthday of regenerated Austria. The proclamation has sent vr • a thrill of joy into every patriotic Austrian breast. The people are said to be almost mad with delight. The great fact is spoken of amid smiles; while sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks testify that the heart of the nation overflows with a new-born pleasure. The joyous emotion has permeated every section of the community, and one universal song a• triumph has suddenly Inirst ;.• forth with electrifying effeCt throUghout the Fatherland: The Contrast between . Austria of yesterday d.nd Austria of to-day is pour -4474 by numerous eye-witness as something almost incredible. The people whose eyes were so recently downcast by grief, sorrow, and despair, brooding gloomily on the unavoidable necessity and terrors of revolution, now look up to Heaven with grateful hearts and With faces beaming again with inexpressible pleasure, and with Some thing like delirious manifestations of unalloyed gratifiCatitin: Lobe and charity have supplanted hared and suspicion: liope,littsdroWned despair; and. the Austrians indulge that feeling of self respect and just pride which'alone belong to free ificiii tied the subjects of a liberal and :free Con atitiaion. Humanity and progress have triumphed over feudalism and reactionary despotism. The hated system of tyranny which has dime so much to destroy the peace and prosperity of the Aus trian Empire is no* no more: Austria now looks fdrward to a happy future, and enjoys the Wartnest sympathies of all free and intelligent men. May her newly-born freedom, soon expand into a noble, wide-spread, and firmly-rooted tree of liberty. It has been justly urged now that Austria has renounced her errors and reformed her government and, policy ) that she Is nidre than ever entitled to the goodwill and eci-operation of her ancient ally, Great Britain. Why should it not be so ? Are we not in need of Continental alliances against our perfidious ally of the Tuileries ? Let the mistrust with which we have so long regarded Austria give way to hearty confi dence. We have been overhasty in concluding an alliance and treaty with our French neigh bours, whose government is the very antipodes of our own, 'and whose ambitious ruler has caused us a constantly increasing expenditure , Why ehould we not at once seek to develope a really useful friendship and ,alliance with free . Austria, whose dormant resources are capable, under the influence of English gold and. enter prise, of being developed to an extent hitherto almost unthought of, and in a manner most profitable and satisfactory to our commerce. • England has a fair opportunity of securing the gratitUde and affection of Austria, and at the same time of serving the trtle . interests of the Italians, —to say nothing of ; our .own particular jealousy as to Franco-Sardinian manoeuvres,—by forbidding the contemplated' attack Oil Why do we hesitate 0 7.itealc out P It is very desirable to prevent' another Italian war, in I".lpoint of fact ) Vrance . wattld be principal ; Old it is lit Our poWer td avert it; hy at single word. 1 7 4dt to see our duty iii this emergbibY; Or, sbping it, to be inactive or indifferent is to commit a crime the consequences of which cannot fail to be bitter in the extreme to this country and to all Europe. Even if Austria less deserved our sym pathy, s or had a worse founded claim to the retention of her possessions in Italy, is it not clearly a duty we owe to ourselves to unite with her in protesting against 'the further encroach ments of French ambition ? But when we, reflect on the bold stroke of policy by which she seeks to conform' her government and. institutions to our own, and the incontrovertable right she has, by the Treaty of Vienna, to the occupation of Venetia, shall we stand aside and see her honour insulted,' and her rights attacked, • in spite and in defiance of every honourable ntlilerstanding, without lifting np (air voice in her behalf—and tit the store tinid lit behalf of those sacred inter- national laws, the recent - violations of which have Noised us so much anxiety and loss ? When our sympathies coincide with our interests, it were only madness to act in opposition to both, or by negligence and blindness to maintain a position fib inipifieness and stolid indifference. - • Let England be at once aroused to a sense of the imminent danger hanging over her, and awaken to a sense of her imperative duty. Sardinia has so t openly threatened Austria, that it would not be wonderful or unnatural should Austria assume the offensive without waiting until her avowed enemy is fully strengthened for the attack. England may yet act as a peacemaker, and by timely interposi tion stay the onslaught. By and bye it may be too late. The latest intelligence from Italy is more and more warlike ; and yet, we believe, England holds the balance, and may determine which scale shall kick the beam—peace or war. We are no advo cates for foreign intervention ; and certainly we are no enemies to Italian freedom. On the con trary, we maintain that a Franco-Sardinian attack on Austrian Italy is to be denounced as an act of unjustifiable intervention, and as perilling all that has been accomplished for the regeneration of the Peninsula. The real aggressor and mischief maker, without whose evil influence such an attempt would never be thought of, is our quasi ally ) LOUIS NArOttON. If we would thwart his schemes and confound his unprincipled and grasping policy, let us at once hold out our hand to Austria, and inform France of our firm and unmistakeable determination to defend the right. MIL )3ARRY SULLIVAN AT TAB ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Last night the " Lady of Lyons" was performed to a crowded audience, who received Mr. Sullivan with the usual enthusiastic ovation. No oho could desire to see a finer realisation of Claude Ilfelnotte. It was more like life itself than mere acting. The other parts were most worthily filled up. To-night there will be a bumper house to see Richard 111. Those who wish to secure places must not lose a minute. RIFLE VOLUNTEER. MOVEMENT.—We observe, from an advertisement in another column, that the 2nd high land Corps are, by permission of the Birkenhead Cont,- missioners, to meet this evening (Saturday), in ther rooms, at Monks' Ferry Hotel. About 25,000 persons have inspected the beautiful drawings which, through the kindness of the contribu tors, our worthy Mayor has been enabled to exhibit in the Town-hall. Not the slightest damage has been done to any of the pictures. A SUSPICIOUS CASE.—At the Magistrates' Court, yesterday, three girls, who get their living by strolling about the suburbs of the town, under the ,pretence of selling " sham " broaches, &c., but whose sole object is plunder, were charged with stealing a seal skin rug from a child's perambulator, in the garden occupied by Mr. S. Harvey, of the Walton-road. The evidence was not sufficiently conclusive, and the girls were therefore discharged. TILE ARRIVAL OF THE RED JACKET.—This splendid vessel, commanded by Captain Samuel Reed, and about which so much anxiety was felt, arrived yesterday, about four o'clock, safely in our river. She was conducted into port by a tender and two steamtugs, whose services were necessary, owing to the counter tide running, and the wind being adverse. We have not been able to procure possession of her log, but believe that baffling winds were the main cause of her deten tion. She had landed some of her passengers at Queenstown, but had when she started on board the following cabin passengers :—Mr. and Mrs. Da Silva, family, and servants, Mr. and Mrs. Whyte, Mrs. Matthews, child, and servant, Mrs. Lyrhall, Miss Yates, Mrs. Jamerson, Mr. and Mrs. Chatterton and child, Messrs. W. Jessop, J. B. Ellman, E. Lyons, S. Arbouin, J. Dilworth, W. Morgan, and D. Mitchell. She has in addition 12 second cabin, and 103 steerage passengers, and if we add a crew of 50, will make nearly 200 souls on hoard. Her gold (inde pendent of the amount in the hands of passengers) amounts to 38,029 ounces, valued at £152,116, con signed as follows :—Bank of Australasia, 16,060 ounces; Bank of New South Wales, 8,511 ounces ; Union Bank, 6,001 ounces ; .Bank of Victoria, 5,690 ounces ' • Oriental Bank, 2,464 ounc e s ;and 20 ounces in small shipments. Rer cargo consists of 180 bales of wool, 72 hhds. hides, 10 bales leather, 1 case wheat, 136 bags 58 bales bark, 255 railway sleepers, 2 hhds. zinc, 119 packages agri cultural implements, 4 cases photographs, 19 tons scrap iron., 289 bags lead ore, 1 parcel samples, 2 cases of effects, 2 casks honey, 11 hhds. brandy, 2 trunks apparel, 3 cases of wine, 4 boxes and 3 cases merchandise, and 103 cases liqueup. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE 'RANGE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday, Oct. 25, 1860. The warlike rumours which have prevailed within the last few days cannot be said to rest on no foundation, and they are made the most of by a writer in the Opinion . , Nationale, in an article entitled, " Coinnient la guerre peut are evitee." At the same time I find,that impressions in high quarters still are that war is not " due" until the spring; or more probably till next sunnier. In which case, many things may occur previously to postpone the. event still further. The Bourse appears to share these more favourable persuasions, and a reassuring note in the Moniteur is expected to-morrow or next day. As to the coalition which Austria is said to by endeavouring to effect at the Warsaw Conference, I do not believe in the least in such a result to the meeting. It is one that is not only impro bable for niany reasons in itself; bitt it woUld, notoriously, go Very 'much indeed against the grain of the majority of the officers in both the Rus sian and the Prussian armies. I believe many of the Russian officers would rather throw up their commissions than serve against Italy, and still more against France; and as for the Prussian officers, it is said they would far rather fight against, than with, the Austrians. These are tolerably powerful obstacles, most people will admit, to the revival of a Holy Alliance. Meanwhile the rienna Gazette is pub lishing. the different dOeinitentil In 'Which the Emperor ioseph promulgates the new Constitu tion he has resolved to grant to his subjects, who on the other hand are preparing a magnificent reception for him on his return from the Con ference, and entering with enthusiasm into the design of crowning his Majesty on an early day as King of Hungary. As to the preparations of the Austrian Government for the eventuality of a war, in or concerning Venetia; I see it stated in a letter froth Vermid, which is published in a Turin journal, that the artily of occupation in Venetia, which tit this pfeseht tinie amounts to 80,000 men, is in a very short time to be raised to 240,000 ; and that there are numerous bodies of . troops echelonned in the High Tyrol, in Styria, and Illyria, ready to be moved down to the quadri-" lateral at the first sound of alarm. These enormous armaments are undoubtedly very expen sive, but they are the price which Austria choses to pay to secure her remaining hold and influence in Italy. A letter from Rome, dated the 20th inst., sup plies particulars of the assassination in open day of Mgr, Liberati, as well as other matters of interest. It says On Sunday morning at nine o'clock Mgr. Liberati, prebendary of St. Peter, and member of several govern ment departments, had just left the Church of the Stigmata, where he had been saying mass on behalf of the establishment of Tata-Giovanni, of which he was manager, when on returning to his house, which is situated in a street near to the U esu, he was met by a young man, who stabbed him in the abdomen with a knife and ran off, leaving the weapon sticking in the wound. The wound Whidh the prelate received was mortal. He had strength left td pull (nit the latlade, but he could not uttet a word, and soon breathed his last.' The assassin was arrested, and it is asserted that he was a near relative of the deceased. and is named as a legatee in his will. This murder has made a great sensation in Rome ; and it is fully believed that political motives have had something to do with the commission of the crime. The letter goes on to say : " General Lamorieiere has arrived, and is pre paring a reporti not only of the battle of Castel fldardo, but of all the events in which he was engaged. It is riinioured that he is about to be named War Minister, but that he will decline the appointment, as being. objectless. "On Monday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Holy Father went to the Quirinal to.receive the visit of the generals and officers of the French division, 300 in number. His Holiness, according to common report, purposely chose the Quirinal as the place for the reception, in order to make an effectual protest against the pretensions .of Garibaldi, and of a great many other ftalian unionists, who aspire to establish the seat of the new Italian kingdom in the most magnificent of the Papal palaces. " For some days past Pius IX. appears to have recovered his usual serenity. He occupies him self with business, and charged M. de Corcelles to:make up a financial statement, which having been done, the result was that there was just sufficient money in the treasury to enable the Government to carry on till the month of March next, after which it would be entirely without resources. The Holy Father has also begged M. tecdelievre to undertake the formation of a personal guard, to be composed of 4,000 French. "His Holiness appears quite to have abandoned all design of Withdrawing from Rome ; on several recent occasions he has expressed himself to this effect to several persons about him. He now, however, makes many complaints against the Austrian Government, which amused him with flattering illusions, but always declined to act when the proper time for acting arrived. A con fidential Envoy has just, set out on a mission to Vienna ; but it is probably only to obtain and bring back news regarding the Warsaw inter view. " At daybreak, yesterday, a number of the last proclamations of Victor Emmanuel were posted up on the walls of the city, but were taken down. by the police immediately. " General de Goyon, in order to be ready for any events which may occur in that part of the Kingdom of Naples which borders the southern parts of the Pontifical States, has caused a body of troops to be concentrated between Velletri, Terracina, and. Frosinone. " Rome is tranquil, and everybody is giving himself up to the gaiety which prevails during the annual October fetes. "M. de la Rochelle sets out to-nlorrcriV for France. His Holiness has presented him with a Roman Pontifical!' Great preparations are malting (it Naples for the reception of Victor Emmanuel. The following is the best explanation I can, arrive at regarding the circumstances -which pre ceded. the evacuation of Capita by the royal troops :—When the intention of the Government of Turin to send a Piedmontese army to the suc cour of Garibaldi, Who was very hard pressed indeed, became known at Gaeta, a council of war was held, at which it was decided that some modification must be made in the plan of the campaign of the Neapolitan army. It was obvious that the line of the Volturno, which was nearly fifty miles in'length, could be forced by a combined attack of the enemy's forces on its centre; and it was decided on evacuating Capua, and transport ing to Gaeta the numerous material which it con tained, and that the army should fall back up'on the- latter place. These measures were begun immediately to be carried out. At the same time, and in order to protect their execution, a body of troops was sent to meet the Piedmontese detach ment, which was advancing by way of the Abruzzi, and a sharp encounter took place between the two opposing corps on the 17th, which gets the name of the flattle of fiernia. The Neapolitans in this affair experienced a severe check; but they arrested for two days the march of the Piedmontese troops, and were able to with draw upon Venafro, and from thence upon Teano, where they were still posted at the date of the lait despatches. All this time the evacuation of Capua was being pr oceeded with. Another Nea politan corps was resting upon the town of Sessa, in order to support the one which was manoeuvring in advance, and the whole of the Neapolitan forces were to reunite behind the the Girigliano, having Gaeta, which is situated about nine miles from that river, for its support. As for the siege of Gaeta, it is understood that it will be undertaken immediately. Victor Emmanuel is to enter Naples on the 28th, and he will then arrange 'with his generals the plan of operations for the reduction of the fortress. It was rumoured the other day that the object of the visit of Admiral de Tinan to the harbour of Gaeta, was to interfere to prevent a bombard ment of the town ; but the real reason, I believe is to prevent any attempt to blockade i t, as his Government is determined not to recognise the blockade. Prince Metternich arrived at 8 o'clock last night from Vienna —a circumstance which has a favourable appearance at the present moment., A very unpopular increase of the taxation has just, been decreed. For some time past attention has been drawn by the Bulletin des Lois to several important financial measures which were announced in the Moniteur. Some days ago it re ferred to several credits which had been opened by the Minister of War for 75 millions of francs; and yesterday it notified a decree having been pas4d which adds if. per lb. to the price Of tobacco. This decree, which is posted up in the shops of all the dealers in the article, has produced some sensa tion, especially among the working classes; it will, however, add twenty millions to the total receipts from the duty. The decision of the Government on the subject was taken with a view of meeting the enormous loss which the revenue has suffered from the removal .of the dlity on so many articles of primary 'consumption. ; It is understood that some additional reductions of duty are to lie made oti graineS grasses—that is, on oil-prodUcing.pianis ; hiit f suspect this addi tional tax on tobacco will not add to the popu larity of the commercial treaty with England. The transactions on the Bourse yesterday were very limited, and the price of Rentes had to sub mit to considerable depreciations. It closed at 68f. 85e. The downward movement also com mended itself to railways. PARIS, Friday morning. It is now said that the real author of the article in the Oonstitutionnee which is making such a stir was directly inspired by the author of " The Pope and the Congress," and indirectly by the very highest source. It was not issued until it had been subjected to a great deal of discussion in the Council of 'Ministers, a majority of whom wanted it to appear in that journal rather than in the Moniteur as originally intended. It is looked upon, therefore, as a shield of invulnera bility thrown over the policy of Victor Emmanuel and of Count Cavour, for it is out of the question to suppose that France will ever again, so long as she dart help it, allow Austria to regain her supremacy in Italy: I have reason to believe also, so cordial and intimate is the actual state of the relations between France and Sardinia notwith standing the diplomatic rupture between the two Courts, that a proof of the article was submitted to the Count Gropello, the secretary of the Sar dinian Legation, previous to its publication, who immediately telegraphed to Turin, from whence the news was sent to the King, who was thus emboldened to use the strong language addressed by him on the subject of Austria to the N'eapoli tan deputation. But preparations for " a war in the spring" are not. confined to Austria and Sardinia. On the contrary, the preparations, on a most gigantic scale, for this "spring meeting are being hurried on in France with amazing activity. There is still room to hope, halo/ever, that the very enormity of the preparations by all the three Powers, and the incalculable disasters which must follow a collision, may suggest a peaceful solution ere then. France, meanwhile, is energetically engaged also in fortifying its new frontier at Nice. It is about to raise imposing fortresses at Nice, at Vil lafranca;Mentom and in the -rallies of the Vesnbia of the Tined. They will together form a second quadrilateral. Great hunting parties are tile order of the day at Compiegne. The Count and Countess Morney have been visitors at St. Cloud for some time past, along with many other Parisian notabilities. There was a great want of activity observable at the Bourse in its transactions yesterday. The market, which was heavy throughout the day, varied, as regards Rentes, from 68f 85c to 68f 90c. ITALY. (FROM OUR OWN COMIYASPONIIENT.) MILAW, Ost. 22. • The more we probe into all the communications, from Naples and Sicily, the more we are per suaded of the rank deception and really indecent farce that is now going on before the eyes of Europe between Garibaldi, Cavour, and the dif ferent political factions congregated at Naples and Sicily. The general and statesman, although the latter does not appear in a prominent part upon the scene, are mutually playing their cards with such tact as to completely deceive even the men who were the first to join the ranks of the revolution, and nal orally imagined to be entitled to have some right in directing the people, before throwing themselves without proper reflection into the arms of Piedmont. Garibaldi has been coquetting for_ snmO months with these men to prevent their breaking out into open rebellion against his plans—first backing up one faction, then another, and, each gulled with the hope of 'finally carrying the principles of their political creed. In this manner the game has been con tinued until the Marches and Umbria were con quered, the Piedmontese landed in sufficient force in Naples, and the King on the point of entering the capital of Francis 11. At this stage of the comedy we find that the late greet row at Caserta between Pallavincino and Carranti on the one side, and Crispi and Cattaneo .on the other— Garibaldi's return to Naples—the meeting of the ministers at the Palazzo A ngri and his speech from the balcony of the Palazzo Foresteria, was in plain English all humbug, all arranged and planned to realise the policy of Cavour, and keep the people from demanding the convocation of an assembly which would give them a right to impose certain conditions on the. Government of Piedmont for the conservation of the autonomy ortheir States. The rungolo of the 19th instant, in describing the scene that took place at the Palazzo Foresteria, the left wing of which is occupied by Turr as commandant of the city and provinces of Naples, and the right wing by the Marquis Pallavicino as pro-Dictator, states that Garibaldi, on his arrival in Naples on the 13th inst., the dissensions (as reported by the above print) still existing between him and the pro-Dictator, the general of course r epaired to the left wing without attempting to go to the right, where Pallavicino was beyond all doubt mutely seated in his official arm chair, twirling his thumbs after the style of an old woman, and wistfully throwing his anxious eyes towards the left wing. Turr anticipating the painful uneasiness of the poor pro-Dictator, said to Garibaldi (Turr being the General's most intimate and confidential friend) come General let us arrange the late dispde between yourself and Pallavicino, offering his arm which the Gene ral accepted, and Turr triumphantly conducted the easy Garibaldi to the right wing, where of course they found the pro-Dictator. Upon enter ing,' the General addressed the disconsolate Mar quis in these words—" Sei to ni collera meco, Giorgio ? Art thou angry with me, George ?" (This being the Christian name of the Marquis Pallavicino), at the same time extending his hand to his old friend. Pallavicino replied by throw ing himself into the arms of the General. Could anything be more beautifully dramatic than this scene reported by the Pungoto. How appro priately might Turr, to complete the " stupendo effetto," exclaim with the words of our immortal bard— th. they to have Angri, a meeting of ministers took place, Palla vicino was aga in triumphant ; Crispi was , o f course, compelled to bend under the influence of so much tender affection, and as in Sicily, once more kicking the official blue bag into the street before him, retiring with inexpressible disgust, heartily wishing the whole lot to any other place but paradise. These are the charming little scenes (but many may term them egregious hum bug) which are often brought before the public ' by the journals of this city. I find from the same letter that within the last few days the Governor of Messina arrived at Caserta, and announced. that the citizens of Messina were determined to share in the same privileges as the people of Naples, namely, the vote by universal suffrage, and unanimously desired the same day to be fixed for the Sicilians as the Neapolitans. Garibaldi, it appears, again left Caserta for Naples to confer with Palla.vicine, and during the few hours he remained at Naples, "by an extraordinary combination of circum stances," a despatch from Mordini arrived declar ing that the agitation at Palermo was such that it threatened the tranquillity of the city unless the inhabitants were assured of the votation for their immediate annexation. After " mature de m x -yation" a telegram was sent to Mordini to convoke thb' colleges f or the election on the same day as at Naples. These "extraordinary combi -tions," and tricks, have nations, mature deliber,.._ public that the been so often brought before -ot see the man must be indeed blind who can. Vow cunning game of Cavour and Garibaldi. ~, that they are supported by such a formidable force of Piedmontese troops they may laugh at the men who have been deceived, and whose revenge will be powerless in the face of such a force. It is said that Victor Emmanuel wrote to Garibaldi on the 12th instant from Grottamare, the object of that letter is clear to every one, and beyond all doubt had the effect of again changing the fickle mind of Garibaldi to abandon the idea of convoking an assembly before the elections in order the more speedily to complete the work of the annexation of the Two Sicilies, the entire THE DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER ,217,111f360. defeat of the Bourbon troops, and the absolute annihilation of every hope of Francis 11. while the Northern Sovereigns are discussing the Italian question at Warsaw. The elections, or rather the mockery of • the solemn verdict of a nation, was given yesterday at Naples; the result we shall have in a few clays, thus bringing the comedy to its closing scenes. A powerful force of Piedmontese troops, with the King at their head, will have entered Naples before this appears in your columns - . After a short repose they will proceed to Capua, and Victor Emmanuel will direct a combined attack and assault of the Garibaldini and Piedmontese against the young king Francis 11., although there has not been the least official cause for the interruption of the "friendly relations" between the two sovereigns. I think this young monarch has been the cruel victim of a bad system of government, supported by a set - of the most infamous and unprincipled traitors that ever surrounded a throne, and. the cunning ambition and deep laid plans of Cavour and his party. Of course Francis 11. will be driven from Gaeta, and then we shall have the finish of the Italian Comedy Until the spring, when a more serious, but not less brutal,. war will be commenced upon the Venetian soil, provided, always, that Austria will be able to bridle up her rage until that period. The rumours of an European congress for the final settlement of the Italian question increase every day, this being considered the only means of finally arranging the same. A private tele gram from an influential person in Paris, goes so far as to name Brussels as the city which is to be chosen as the place for the reunion of the diplo matists of Europe, but which, I apprehend, is somewhat premature, especially during the meeting at Warsaw. Then another question aris.es, presuming that the three sovereigns of the north have for their principal object the arrange ment of a programme of a future European congress, it will then remain to be seen if the basis of this programme would be acceptable to France and England ; and another and not less difficult question is, when and how the same is to be formed, independent of the events which 'are now rapidly proceeding at Naples, and which are not unlikely to destroy all the calculations of Warsaw. It is next to an impossibility, sur rounded as we are with thousands of contradic tory reports and assertions relative to the part that Prussia will take at the present meeting, to arrive at anything like a correct idea of what will be the upshot of the interview between Northern Sovereigns. Here nearly all our journals assert that the Prussian Minister, Schleinitz, at his late interview with Lord John Russell, at Coblentz, promised not to depart from the policy established by England towards Italy, while many German prints as confidently assert that England and Prussia are resolved to sustain Austria in Italy, in order to shut out France from a repetition of an interference in the affairs of this peninsula, which, if permitted, would again enable her to establish another claim for the ces sion of fresh provinces from Piedmont, and, in all probability, as readily agreed to by Cavour as the cession of Savoy and Nice ; regardless how far such an extension of the power of France would prejudice the interests of England. It is but a few days to the end of the present month, a n d most certainly before Guy Fawkes' Day we m a y be certain to see which way the balance will turn—peace or war. B Diritto of Turin states that the Opposition party of the House of Commons is preparing a formidable attack against the Palmerston Cabinet, in permitting the recent visit of the Queen to Germany to lead to an unconstitutional inter ference of the Crown in the affairs of the State. In support of this assertion B Diritto quotes from the Independanee Belge, which states that the interview at Warsaw was arranged by the Dowager Empress of Russia, the present Empress of Austria, and Queen Victoria; "and," continues the Diritto, " it must be admitted that this fact, coupled with the recent journey of Queen Victoria, proves the same to have been arranged for political business, and another proof of the direct or in direct influence of the fair sex in the political affairs of Europe." The Diritto and Independance Beige merit gold medals for their wonderful penetration. Our Bourse for the last week has been unusually dull, scarcely any business of importance being transacted during the entire - week, owing to the continual fall in all the Government funds. The railway shares have felt this stagnation, the greatest difficulty being experienced to find pur chasers.

THE MUNICPAL E LE CTION.—RODNEY - STREET WARD, —Last eveni ng a meeting of th e rate- p a yers of this ward was held at the Adelphi H otel for the purpose of securing the re-election to the Town Council of Mr. Charles Motley. Mr. F. S. Hull took the chair. The other rate-payers present were Messrs. Job, Peck, Hughes, Downey,, Taylor, Bayes, Moss, Walker, Mor gan, and Tennant. The chairman having alluded to the topics which had principally engaged the attention of the Council for some years, and which had created party feelings and strife, but were now happily disposed of, had much pleasure in introducing to their notice Mr. Motley, who had recived a memorial most unanimously signed by every grade of politicians, expressing their earnest wish that he would again allow himself to be returned. Mr. M"zleY , in returning thanks for the reception he bad met v, ith, and his willingness again to go into the Council, provided they should again return him, entered into some explanations as to the part he had taken in reference to the water question and the town dues, and said that be did not regret the course he had adopted. In reference to pending questions—th e corporate estate —he was of opinion that, if carefully managed, it would be able to discharge all its obligations, and - then there would be ample and sufficient funds to make such necessary town improvements as would be a benefit to all. But he said should object to the expenditure of £160,000 or ^ for the erection of public offices, believing be erected at a much less expense ; "use the sale of the Town Hall, -^sidence for the mayors, -eference to the bein.. LATEST NEW`. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF A CORPS OF - 1,000 GARIBALDIANgi (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A courier has just arrived from Italy, at Marseilles, bringing deplorable intelligence from the Abruzzi. It appears that in the province of Molise, a column of 1,000 men, national guards and volunteers, were surprised itx the vicinity of Isernia by some peasants armed with scythes, and a body of royalist soldiers. The column was entirely destroyed. A letter from Naples, ad dressed to the Perseveranza, confirms this news. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) NAPLES. THE ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS AT CAPUA A letter from General Bixio's head-quarters says the British Legion had eight men killed and thirty wounded in the affair of the 19th. The Opinion° contains the following official announcement :—Signor Farini having been appointed Extraordinary Royal Commissioner at Naples, is replaced in his post of Minister of the Interior by Signor Minghelli. Signor Montege molo has been appointed Commissioner of Sicily.. THE VOTE AT NAPLES. The result of the vote in the city of Naples shows that 154,000 have voted for annexation.

The most recent intel ligence announces that a corps of between 40,000 and 50,000 is concentrated between Ostiglia and Rover°. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. The ,Tortrnal des Debats affirms that whatever the sovereigns assembled at Warsaw may decide the Italian cause must advance towards a suc cessful completion. If there be no congress the affairs of Italy will follow their course, and will arrange themselves; if one be held there is reason to believe that no attempt will be made to dispose of Italy without consulting her on the subject. The Siecle, the most important of the Liberal journals of Paris, referring to the statements in the recent semi-official article on the constitution of the Italian question, says, the best tripods of Italy have never demanded more, and welcomes with joy the clear and precise statement of the Government organ. RUSSIA. General Todleben is at Sebastopol. The fortifi cations on the north side there are undergoing repair. SPAIN. The Espana, of Madrid, complains that the circulation of Protestant Bibles is allowed to continue. _ _ _ MADRID, Oct. 26. In yesterday's sitting of the' Cortes the opposi tion announced their intention of making inter pellations on the subject of the foreign relations of Spain. The Government having declared itself ready to reply to any questions, the interpella tions were adjourned. Spain having protested against the entry of Sardinians into Roman and Neapolitan territory, her Majesty's representa tive has received orders to quit Turin; a charge craffaires remains to conduct the business of the legation. FRANCE. The recent articles in the Constitationnel and in the Opinion Nationale are much animadverted upon in the Paris journals. The conclusion of the Sieele is that France will not suffer Austria to invade Italy, and that the crossing of the Po or Mincio, by the Austrians, is intended to be a castes belli, and the inference is drawn that France will give up Rome to Victor Emmanuel. The Duke Deca Zete 'died at Paris on Thurs day. He was the favourite minister of Louis XVIII., and formerly ambassador to England. PARIS, Oct. 26. To-day Baron Hubner had a private audience of the Emperor at St. Cloud. To-morrow he will proceed with Count de Bourqueney to Chantilly on a visit to Lord Cowley. Baron Hubner will leave for Vienna next week. AUSTRIA AN]) FRANCE. The Opinion Nationale says we believe we are in a position to state that Austria had proposed to open negotiations with the French government, in order to bring abont a pacific solution of the Italian question, and that, in case of nnsuccess, Austria would resort to arms, with the counten ance of the sovereigns her allies. The same paper adds that this news, however, greatly requires authentic confirmation. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PAps, Oct. 26, 3.45 p.m. . . The Bourse continues dull. Rentes closed very flat at 68f. 80c., or a fraction lower than yesterday. THE• WARSAW CONFERENCE. WARSAW, Oct. 26. On account of the illness of the Dowager Empress of Russia, alterations have been made in the arrangements for the departure of th e sovereigns. There will be no hunting excursion. The Emperor of Austria leaves before noon to day. The Emperor of Russia and the Prince Regent will leave Warsaw in the afternoon. PARIS, OCt. 96. The Patric says the news published by the Opinion Nationale relative to a congress, is not supported by authentic information. The Pays says the information of the Opinion Nationale is incorrect. AMERICA. OUTRAGE ON THE PRINCE OF WALES. SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 26. The steamer Arago, which left New York on the 13th instant, has arrived off Cowes.

On the 25th instant she spoke the • American ship Anna Thompson, bound west: DUring the procession through New York in honour of the Prince of Wales a man stepped from the. crowd and aimed a heavy blow at his Royal Highness, at the same time giving utter ance to the most opprobious epithets. The Prince escaped the blow directed against him. The ruffian, who is said to be an insane Englishman, was immediately arrested. The Prince of Wales' visit has otherwise proved a great success.

Both parties are in great straits for money, and this has caused .the temporary suspense of the war. li A, Oct. Bth. On the Ist inst. a Spanish war steamer caphired • the American screw steamer City of Norfolk, which she discovered ashore near Sierra Morena.. It appears that on the night previous the City of Norfolk had landed a cargo of 800 negroeshirhich she had brought from the Coast of Africa, and then she had been deserted and sent to sea with a full head of steam on, with the expectation that . she would soon founder, measures having been taken to secure that; the current, however, drifted her ashore, where she was found as above stated. The disco Very resulted in the capture of 500 of the negroes, together with the crew, the latter having been taken to Key West by the United- States steamer Crusader. • TRIAL OF MULLINS.-VERDICT OF GUILTY. The Lord Chief Justice commenced summing up at 2.30, and concluded at 5.20, yesterday afternoon. The jury retired and returned into court at 6.2 o—they found a verdict of " Guilty." —The prisoner then said : " I have not many days to live; I thank you and the jury, and my coun sel." He then proceeded to deny parts of the evidence on which the verdict of guilty had been given; and added, "What I have stated now are the real facts, as the Lord is my judge, and he shall see me before long."—The learned Judge having put on the black cap, addressed the priso ner. His lordship said : Had you been desirous in your address to the court to meet the grave evidence against you, you would have shown whether you were in possession of the cheque or not, and, if so, how you became possessed of it ; and, therefore, your remarks appear entirely beside the case proved against you. The jury have found you guilty, and, without any explana tion, I cannot see how they could have come to any other conclusion than that Emms was not the murderer, and that you were the party responsi ble for the possession of the cheque. If you could even now make it manifest you were inno cent, you would receive attention. I have now only to pass the dread sentence.of the law upon you. His lordship then passed sentence of death in the usual form. The execution will take place on Monday, 12th November, at Newgate. .

GAZETTE NEWS. The Gazette contains a proclamation for the election of a peer of Scotland on November 14th, in place of the Earl of Melville, deceased. The Gazette contains a copy of the convention between her Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, the Prince Regent of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, and the Sultan, respecting measures to be taken for the pacifica tion of Syria. The convention was signed at Paris September sth, but the ratifications were not exchanged until the 18th instant. Mr. Laing's appointment as a member of the Council of the Governor-General of India is gazetted. The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : CONDUCT OF THE PIEDMONTESE AT THE SIEGE OF ANCONA. The ITins quotes official . dociiinents to show that the statement by Count De Quatrebarbe, of the bombardment of Ancona having been carried on after a flag of truce had been held out, is a complete hallucination. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The steamship Imperador hasb7oug" ht advices to September 11th. The steamer Dane. with the August mails, out thirty-six days, had not arrived. The shares in the Port Elizabeth Bank are to be doubled, and offered to the present holders pro rata. It. is rumoured that the Kaffir Chief Sandili has consented to go. to England, on the express recommendation of Sir George Grey. Prince Alfred had not returned to Cape Town from the frontier, but was expected daily. The entire French force in the Roman States does 'not much exceed 19,000 men. It is thought that the Board of Trade will institute an inquiry into the loss of the Arctic steamer in the Baltic, with the view of investigating the pernicious consequences of deck loading. Cargo has been washed ashore belimging to the steamers Moscow and Edinburgh, and their fate is scarcely doubtful. Nothing has been heard of the Viscount Lambton and the Thor. The underwriters at Lloyd's and the principal offices will be large sufferers by these losses in the Baltic. The Daily News announces, apparently on autho rity, that the interview at Coblentz between Lord John Russell and the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs in no respect varied or modified the previous p'eliey of the English Government on the Italian ques tion ; and as to the noble lord's despatch to the Court of Turin respecting Venetia, the Daily Nem asserts that the cause of Italy was, under the existing circumstances, substantially helped by the warning given at Turin by the English foreign office.

NORTHERN HOSPITAL: 7 -M this institution, yester-, day, a man 'named William Edge, residing in Summer.. seat, was brought in, labouring under a severe contu sion of the head, and indeed: it is feared from concussion of the brain, inconsequence of a bale of cotton falling upon him, in Vulcan-street.—Another man, whosentime is as yet unknown, was also brought in, in a, beastly state of intoxication. It appeared : that he had been sampling ruin, and that he had drank too much of it. He was . picked up near Trafalgar Dock, and last night still lay in a most dangerous state. FEARFUL OCCURRENCE. — A melancholy accident occurred on. Thursday morning by which one man was instantly bereft of life, and three persons seriously in jured, under . the following dreadful eirctunstances . :— Ali immensely heavy balk of African oak, Weighing upwards of 30 cwt., had to be disembarked from the Rosalie, lying off the Commercial Docks, for which pur pose a raft consisting of three logs of pine timber, was lashed alongside, and upon which the oak was intended to be conveyed on shore. The heavy balk was hoisted sufficiently, and was being lowered when the mate with three men went in a boat to make fast a rope to the suspended balk, which at the moment slipped from the slings, dashing with fearful velocity across the raft, :and striking the boat, which was outside; so violently, as to break her to pieces. James Hubbard, who was on the raft, was knocked overboard, and drowned before assistance arrived. Henry Baker (the mate) and two seamen, who were in the boat, sustained such serious injuries from the splinters of the broken boat that, after having been picked up, they were conveyed to the hospi al ship. The body of Hubbard has not been recovered: LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RArmEs.) TOM CARTER'S LODGING! A giant-looking fellow, named Tom Carter, was brought up by a police-officer, who stated as follows Last night between eleven and twelve o'clock, I was on duty in Vauxhall-road, when I saw the prisoner come out of a cookshop, and he then walked up to me, and says he, " officer, I want you." I asked him what he required ; and he replied, " I want you to get me a lodging." I told him it was not my business, nor part of my duty to procure him a lodging. " Well," said he, " will you recoil/mend me to a lodging-house ?" I said I would tell him where there were lodging-houses, but I would not take on myself to recommend any, as that was not my duty. " Then," said he, "I will teach you your duty," at the same time drawing out his fists, and then rushing at me with great fury to strike me, and I drew back; but he followed, flourishing his fists . at me in a terrible way. I kept him at a distance for some time, he crying out " you must find me a lodging." At last, another officer came up and we got bim a lodging then in the station house. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said, I came oirt of the eating house, when I saw that gentleman officer talking to a young lady. Says I, officer, you must get me n lodging. I'd see you d--d first old fellow,• says he; and I thought he had a better right to get me a lodging than to be talking to a lady in the street. Mr. Raffles was of s different opinion; but as the prisoner was not known to. the police, he discharged him with a caution for the future. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. Daniel Evans, late one of the agents of the Pru dential Life Insurance Company, London, was brought up on remand, charged with having embezzled certain sums of money belonging to the company. Mr. Pal grave appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb for the prisoner. A week ago a warrant was issued for the apprehension of the prisoner, on the evidence of the secretary from London. It appeared that the prisoner was one of the agents of the company in Liverpool, and the charge against him was for having received certain sums of money that he did not account for. Mr. Palgrave applied for an adjournment of the case to another day, and Mr. Cobb not objecting, the prisoner was remanded for a week. WONDERFUL EFFECTS OF BARRY SULLIVAN'S ACTING. John Doyle, a young mechanic, was charged by James Finn with having assaulted him. The com plainant said :—Last night, about twelve o'clock, I went into a public-house in Falkner-street, to get change for a sovereign to pay some men who were working for me. On leaving the house the pri soner came up to me, and, without saying a word, he struck me in the face, knocked me down, and then kicked me in the head. Mr. Raffles—Why did he do that ? I can't say, sir, for I never saw him before in my life. A young woman who saw the transaction fully corroborated the statement of the prosecutor. In reply to Mr. Raffles, the prisoner said—l was at the Amphi theatre last night seeing Barry Sullivan, and—[here he paused for some time]. Mr. Raffles—But that is no reason why you should knock down this man, who was not interfering with you in any way. Prisoner—Well, sir, I was after seeing Barry Sullivan, and was greatly excited. That man was coming out of a public-house along with four others, and they at once attacked we, and knocked me down, so I stood in my own defence. This story was utterly disproved, and Mr. Rallies fined the prisoner £2, or two months' imprisonment, so that he will, in either case, remember Barry Sullivan's acting. CAUTION TO DRUNKARDS. A well-dressed man, named Lewis Evans, was brought up by Police-officer 417 on a charge preferred by Mr. Nuttall, of the Queen's Vaults, Lime-street. It appeared that between two and three o'clock on Thursday, the prisoner entered the vaults, in a state of intoxica tion, and demanded drink. He was refused, and ordered out; but he refused to go and created a disturbance, using the most abominable language to some females. The officer was called, and he heard the man use very filthy language. Mr. Raffles : Was he drunk ? He was, sir. Mr. Raffles : Then I fine him 10s.-and costs, for being drunk and disorderly and refusing to leave the public-house when desired to do so. ASSAULT ON SHIPBOARD. Robin J. Poit, the second mate of the American ship George Hulbert, was charged with having assaulted Joseph Alwar, a Bohemian, who came in the ship as an able sailor from New Orleans. The complainant's head and face were very much swollen, and his eyes were nearly closed up. He appeared quite stupid, and either feigned or could not speak in any language, although tried by several persons. It would seem that he was beaten severely on the voyage, but from the stupid state in which the man was, it could not be collected by whom or at what time he was maltreated., However, at seven in the morning of yesterday, the prisoner was given into custody of Officer Ridge, 650, in the Stanley Dock, by two men who saw him assault the complainant. When the officer took him, he said, "You have no power here over an American sailor." Two witnesses came forward and stated that in the morning they saw the prisoner kick the man furiously on the legs and side, and run after him with a piece of iron; and then the man jumped on to another ship, when the prisoner flung a piece of wood at him and struck him on the arm with it. A surgeon stated that he examined the injured man and found several contusions on his bQdy—on the two shoulder •blades, the arms, and loins, and his head and face - were .very much swollen, and the man appeared to be quite stupid from injury. The prisoner was remanded for the present. CAUTION TO BOYS AND OTHERS DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN THE STREET. Isaac Sharman, a half black boy, was brought up on remand, on a charge of having discharged a pistol in the street and wounding :two boys, on the day of the pro cession. • The injured boys are in the hospital since Thursday week, and one of them is in a dangerous state. There was no additional evidence in the case. Mr. Raffles said to Mr. Kehoe, he hoped the police would take up all boys and others found discharging pistols or other weapons in the street, or who might have such for the purpose of discharging them, and he would punish them. It was a most dangerous !practice, and must be put a stop to for the preservation of the public. Mr. Kehoe said there were orders given to the police to that effect, and all such would be taken up, but persons discharging arms in that way generally got into dark places. The public were in danger, and persons dis charging such weapons were in danger themselves ; for, in many instances, the articlei were cracked; and they had plenty of cracked pistol - -; in the office that had been taken up by the police. The boy was let out on his stepfather, entering into recognizances for his appear ance when called on. PLUNDER OF GOODS. John Morrison, a person employed at the Waterloo goods station of the London and North-Western Rail wag, was charged for stealing a bar of soap. Detective officer Scaife said : -In consequence of complaints made of the plundering of property at the station, I went to watch there last night, and saw a cart go out with boxes of soap on it, and saw the prisoner come out with it. He concealed something under his coat, and on going* over, I found this bar of soap that he had taken out of a box. Mr. Marshall, one of the solicitors to the company, prosecuted ; and although he did not press for a heavy punishment, yet he thought for example that the man should get some punishment. It appeared the man had been some years in the service of the dom pany, and bore a good character; and in consequence of that, he was let off with two months' imprisonment. (Before Messrs. R. GLADSTONE, J. C. CORBALLY and • CASTELLAIN.) ASSAULT. BY A POLICEMAN. Police-officer Cartwright (679) was summoned by Mr. John R. Evans, a clerk in the employment of Mr. Wilton, the carrier, of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, for having assaulted him. Mr. Cobb was for the complainant, and opened the case. From his statement, which was borne out by Mr. Evans 'and three or four other respectable witnesses, it appeared that on the 3rd of October the officer was in Great Howard street and saw a carter, who is in the employment of Mr. Wilton, with a lorry laden with wheat, going into Lila yard of the railway company, and, thinking the load too heavy, he took the driver's name and address, and then followed him into the yard of the company's premises, which is private property. Mr. Evans, seeing the officer go into the yard, asked him what he wanted ; and he said the name of the carter. The carter said he had given the officer h 4 name and the number of his cart. Mr. Evans thpri"told the officer to leave, as the place was private property, and he had no right to be there, having got what he wanted—the name of the carter ana the number of his cart. The policeman then asked Mr. Evans' name and address, which he refused to give ; whereon the officer caught him by the arm, tore his coat, and' dragged him off to the station, where he preferred a charge against him for obstructing, him in the discharge, of his tith.). The bridewell keeper refused the charge, and now the officer appeared to answer the summons for having assaulted Mr. Evans. As stated, these facts were proved by several respecta ble witnesses, all of whom were examined by the defend ant, who was not only excited, but appeared insolent to the witnesses and not quite respectful to the magis trates. At the conclusion of the case, Mr. Gladstone said the bench had considered the case very carefully, and were unanimous in their opinion on the whole of it. lie spoke in strong terms of reprobation of the conduct of the policeman, and said although an officer was to be protected and upheld in the discharge of his duty by the magistrates, yet he had no right to violate the liberty of the subject.. Ile had taken Mr. Evans in the wrong; he had not done anything unlawful, he had not obstructed the officer in any way, and he had no right to be dragged through the streets like a pickpocket, for lie had not violated any law, nor offered any ob struction to the officer. After reviewing the whole case, and dwelling with great severity on the conduct of the policeman, he said the bench would fine him 40s for the assault, and then leave it to the Watch Committee to say if the offi:!il- was a fit per.= to be entrusted in such a position hereafter. The defendant paid the fine, and remarked, in an insolent manner, that that was what lie got for doing his duty. Mr. Gladstone told him he had outraged his duty, and would leave the Watch Com mittee to deal with him on that point. Pk - 1 COURT OF PASSAGE.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. E, Low.) TARBIJCK V. FINLEY, CAMPBELL, AND Co.—The plaintiff is a seaman in her Majesty's service ;- Milton appeared on his behalf. The defendants me shipowners and merchants, in Liverpool, and- were re presented by Mr. Deighton. The actionwarobroughtto recover £5l 6s. It appears that on the 24th Obtober, 1857, the plaintiff signed articles to proceed ter Bea inn the brig Palmerston, Captain Wilson, at £4 per meath6 At Hong Kong, in January, 1859, he was conveyed ashore and committed for 28 days to gaol on a charge of insolence.. Discharged on the 15th February, he asked the captain for his discharge to enable him to join H.M. ship Calcutta, and was refused. He took a boat and pro ceeded to the Calcutta, and next day accompanied Lieutenant Walker to the Palmerston. Capt. Wilson refused to pay Tarbuck's wages, and alleged that he had deserted. Capt. Hall, of the Calcutta, wrote to the defendant upon the subject, awarding the plaintiff a good character. The defendant refused to pay the debt. It also appeared that the plaintiff's clothes were lost, having been sent ashore at Hong Kong without his knowledge and against his wisk. The whole claim, including the month's imprisonment, was £5l 68. The log-book was produced, in which were found entries to the effect that the plaintiff had deserted the vessel, and acted in an improper manner. The learned assessor, in addressing the jury, explained that the only question for consideration was the coflicting nature of the evidence, as compared with the entries in the log-book, which, however, Was not evidence, and, therefore, of no great importance. The jury returned a verdict in favour of the plaintiff for £47. THE COMPANY OF PROPRIETORS OF THE LIVERPOOL EXCHANGE V. JOHN CLARE, JUN.—Mr. Deighton ap peased for the plaintiffs. On the 31st December, 1857, the plaintiffs granted a lease of certain premises to the defendant, whereby he became a terant at will, at a renital of £2O per annum. On the 21st July half a year's rent became due, arid he paid a portion of it. leaving a balance of £6 Os. sd. Mr. loulighusband proved the case, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs. A SIMPLE TALE OP WOE. ^ HUGHES V. ROBERTS, TURNER, AND WOODS.—Mr. Deighton appeared for the plaintift; and explained that the defendants broke into and entered the plaintiff's apartment, and carried away the furniture. He consented to a verdict of £l5 against Turner, auctioneer, to be taken. Ann Hughes, who appeared c mtremely distressed, said . I am over eighty years of ag e. Roberts and Woods entered my house, and carrit.'d away all my furniture. Mr. Deighton : What 10,as the value of it. Mrs. Hughes : I would not have take:.' £2O for it, because I had it in my possession for such long time. Why did they take it away ? They said I owed them some rent, but I did not owe anyone a fai 'thing. My landlord is in the court. Did they take all ..'way ? No sir, not all ; but they took away my bed and t ,'est furnit ure .

Hime & Son, Church-street.—Among the many local events which claim to be associated with the munificent gift of William Brown, Esq., to the inhabitants of Liverpool, we have now to add the publication, by Messrs. Hime & Son, the well-known musicsellers, in Church-street, of a singularly pretty and effective set of quadrilles, composed by Mr. T. Morris. An excellent view of the noble library embellishes the cover, and we are happy to see that Mr. Brown has authorised the author to dedicate his composition to him, thus greatly increasing its interest and attractiveness. MEMORIAL or MOLIERE.—A bust of Moliere has just been set up on the front of the house No. 3, Rue de la TonneHerm, near the Halles. An inscription states that the house in' question has been built on the site of that in which the immortal author of "Tartuffe" was born in 1620. THE BLAIKIE BANKRUPTCY.—We (Korth British Daily Mail) have reason to believe that the Lord Advocate has been making inquiry into the circum stances connected with the failure of the Blaikies of Aberdeen, with the possible eventuality of a criminal prosecution in view. RAILWAY ENTERPRISE AND POLITICS. —The directors of the Roman railways announce that, in consequence of the events now taking place in the Papal States, they sent two members of managing committee to Turin to take measures for protecting the interests of the com pany, and, at the same time, to prevent any misunder standing, informed the Papal Government of the step it. had taken. King Victor Emmanuel's Government, under date the 3rd instant, conceded to the company the section from Bologna to Ravenna, and has ordered that the works of it shall be carried on with such activity as to cause the whole line from Bologna to Ancona to be terminated by the 31st December, 1861. STATISTICS OF LUNACY.—Late statistical returns show that in Belgium there are at present 51 lunatic asylums —6 in the province of Antwerp (one of them the colony of Gheel), 11 in the Brabant, 6 Western Flanders, 16 in Eastern Flanders, 6 in Hainaut, 4 in Liege, and 2 in Limburg. The number of lunatics in Belgium is 4,907, which is one in every 920 of the population. ENGLISH PRESENT FOR GARIBALDL—A Naples letter of the 19th says :—" An Englishman, Mr. Briggs, mer chant, of Manchester, has sent the Dictator 400 knap sacks complete, besides a considerable number of tents, camp bedsteads, and other aiTicles of military equipment. He charged the Swiss consul a t Palermo to deliver his present to the general, and the co. nsul went to Garibaldi at Caserta, to inform him that i.he above-mentioned articles are at his disposal. The Dfetator was exceed ingly surprised on hearing the enumeratu2n of the things contributed for his army by a single indivi;:lual; but he was still more astonished when the Swiss eA..lisul said ' The only thing Mr. Briggs desires, if his present appears to you worthy of acceptance, is your autog-raph.' Garibaldi immediately wrote a flattering letter of thanks to Mr. Briggs, and handed it to the consul." - - THE COTTON PLANT OF SOUTH CAROLINA.—The above hag been beautifully illustrated on the back of a playing card fell the presint season, by Messrs. De La Rue and Co. from at original drawing by a Liverpool gentleman, and published by Messrs. Agnew and Son. J. M. and Son have received a large stock. N.B.—A good playing card from is 6d. J. Micerdsley ant' Son, 4, Castle-street. CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURAIItEd —" I believe that the preparation off Balsam of Horehound and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas hill, Liverpool,) will prove of more value, in cares of bron chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy extant. It relieves the most irritating ,ough tort few tninntes ; and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces sound and nfreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above all other Medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thomson' .3fateria Medico, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr. Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjuno tion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con sumption and delidate constitutions."—R. H. Brett, Ph. Dr., M.R.C.S., late Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurispru dence, Liverpool Royal Infirmary. The balsam of horehound and aniseed is prepared only by T. Martin, chemist, 22, Cop peras-hill, Liverpool ; but, owing to its great and increasing sale. agents have been appointed in all principal towns and cities. It can be procured wholesale from Itaimes and Co., Edinburgh and York, from Sutton and Co., London, West macott, Manche-ter, and wholesale and retail from the manu facturer, as above. Price, Is. lid.

Let invalids avoid the fearful dangers of spurious and injurious imitations offered under a variety of false pretences. Nevill's imitations arc prohibited by the High Court of Chancery under a penalty of £5,000 against Alfred Hooper Nevill and his agents; and the pretences that Nevin has a patent for Arabica Food, and that 1)u Barrys are connected with such patent are utterly false.
