In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day the Funds were dull. There were some considerable sales, accompanied by revived rumours of a coming French loan. Consols were quoted about 1-16 per cent. luwer than they closed yesterday. The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money „ Account Exchequer Bills Bank Stock Three per Cents 93i 4 Next Account The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : The English funds have again been firm. In the discount market there was increased demand, owing to the preparations for the 4th of the month. About £4,000 in gold was taken from the Bank for exportation. On the Paris Bourse there has been a decline of more than per cent. --Times. The funds opened with firmness, and soon experienced a slight advance, but a check was then given by some sales, coupled with the somewhat remarkable heaviness of the Paris Bourse, in face of the doubts which are now cast upon the starting of the Syrian expedition. Consols closed per cent. lower than yesterday. In most of the other departments of the Stock Exchange the tendency of prices were upwards, but in several instances the best quotations of the morning were not supported. In the afternoon this was particularly observable in the market for British railway stocks, which, however, after exhibiting great buoyancy, left off higher than yesterday. In the discount market the demand was rather brisker, owing probably to prepara tions for the 4th of the month.—Daily Hews.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. Ett eirttou Rtarktt. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, during the past week, a good business has been transacted, without causing any noticeable change in prices. The demand from the trade continued moderate, but speculators and exporters having taken a fair interest, the aggregate sales have been large ; holders, however, supplied the market so liberally that prices, although generally more steady, cannot be quoted higher. Brazil and Egyptian were dull of sale, and rather easier. Surat was in fair request at late rates. The weekly sales amount to 71,420 bales, of which 5,920 were on specula tion and 16,020 for export.

In the Liverpool Share Market during the past - week there has been a great deal of excitement, and a general and very marked advance in prices has taken place, that upon Midland Stock being almost unprecedented, viz., 7 per cent. upon last week's currency, the unexpected annouucelkent of a 61 per cent. dividend, and the existence of a bare account, being the motive power. To-day the tone was decidedly feeble, London and North- Westerns were particularly heavy, and the market generally closed with much weakness.

Hams remained dull and neglected. Shoulders bring scarce, brought full prices. Lard was quiet, the refiners having lately gone into the market so freely have not been buying this week, hence the _ales only reached about 50 tons.

THE DAYS NEWS. The following announcement was posted up yester day in the Paris Bourse All the Powers have agreed to the conditions of a European intervention in Syria. The conference will assemble at three o'clock, to sign the convention in reference to the measures to be taken in common." If it were not rashness to pronounce positively for or against any statement coming from such a quarter, we should have littls hesitation in pro.. nouncing all opinion 94 to the truthfulness of this billet, and calling it a lie ! Some understanding may have been arrived at for a preliminary enquiry, but we do not credit the agreement for intervention—mais nous verrons. There is this to be said against our incredu lity, however, that although the Bourse opened flat, it improved in consequence of the above announcement, and closed higher than the previous day. We have news from Naples which might have been good news a one time, but which now sounds in our ears like the news we hear at coroners' inquests as to the good intentions of deceased suicides. We are now given to understand that the Neapolitan Government is occupied with the convocation of the Parliament. The King, in accordance with the advice of his Ministers, is disposed to add a most important article to the Constitution of 1848. By this article, follo wing the example of Piedmont, every Italian will be able to sit in Parliament, even if not a native of the kingdom of Naples, provided that he is legally eligible in other respects. It has often been remarked that the Napoleons have been and still are great in the matter of interviews. We presume it is part of Louis Napoleon's " destiny" to have an interview with every crowned head he can conveniently entrap "into his little parlour" —as the spider said to the fly. The latest news under this head is that an interview between the Emperor Napoleon and Queen Isabella of Spain is likely to take place about the time of the Emperor's visit to Algeria, when the Queen will be in Catalonia. " Can any good thing come out of Nazareth ?" was the ancient Jewish proverb. We are almost inclined to doubt if "anything good can come oat of" the, hitherto, all bat infatuated house of Hapsburg. We are truly happy to see some indications of the dawn of reason even there By a telegraui from Vienna, yesterday, we are told tha immediately on his return from Tceplitz, the Empsro signified to his Ministers his desire that th whole of the reforms which, for nearly Et yea after the programme of Luxembourg have been in the course of elaboration, should be finished, and promulgated at as early a period as possible. It is believed that this act will strengthen the alliance between Prussia and Austria, the bases of which were concerted at the intervention of Tceplitz. It is stated that the approaching anniversary of the Emperor Francis Joseph's birthday (the 20th of August), will be marked by the solemn promulgation of the reforms which are so impatiently awaited by all classes in Austria. It is satisfactory to observe that in the division on Thursday night, or rather yesterday morning, on the vote for fortifications, the ayes included Mr. Gladstone and Mr. M. Gibson, and also the leaders of the Conser vative party. We should be sorry to think Mr. Glad stone lost to all sense of his duty, and we rejoice to find Mr. M. Gibson inclining towards a truly Conservative course of policy. The Conservatives acted as they always do, consistently with their principles. The Stamford election, we are informed by telegraph has gore in favour of Mr. Sidney, the Liberal midi. date. The Royal Review of the Scotch Volunteers will exceed all expectation, at least as regards numbers, for a notice from the War-office states that in consequence of the number of applications which have already been received for permission for volunteer corps to attend the review by her Majesty at Edinburgh, on the ith instant, and the limited space of ground available, ncr further applications can be entertained. At the half-yearly meeting of the Great Northern and Western of Ireland Railway yesterday fire report was adopted. It was stated that the traffic had exceeded expectations, and that the first section to Claremorri s would be ready for opening in August, 1861, and the second section to Castlebar in August, 1862. At the meeting of the Bank of Egypt yesterday the report was adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate of seven per cent. per annum. The Corporation of Liverpool has had half a year or so to consider Mr. George Francis Train's liberal pro posal to lay down a street railway; and yet " the oracle is dumb," and giyeth uo utterance for or against. The Borough Engineer has reported in its favour---_-but what of that ? Is so dignified a body as the Council to be suddenly moved, to adopt a much wanted improve ment ? Who is the hindrance ? Who consti tutes the dead weight that obstructs all progress, and stifles everything like intelligent enterprise. There are some parties whom we almost feel disposed to specify and hold up to public opprobrium who are chargeable in a great degree with this supineness, to say the least of it. But that we feel entitled to expect and still hope for better things of them we should not hesitate as to our duty to the public, There is really no difficulty deserving of the name in the way of granting to Mr. Train the concession he has asked for. Why, then, should it be withheld ? November is approaching, and po doubt we shall then have an opportunity of speaking out on this subject with some practical effect. A word to •the wise is enough. Already we have lost a splendid opportunity of distinguishing the Borough as the first to adopt this unavoidable im provement. Birmingham, as we recently announced, has agreed to Mr. Train's request. Yesterday, we have now to announce, the corporation of Manchester resolved to grant the requisite permission to Mr. Train. Really, it would seem as if Liverpool was destined to become a butt to Manchester through the pig-headedness of our rulers. Glasgow also has approved of Mr. Train's proposal generally, and has invited him to visit the city, with a view to a definite arrangement. Thus we lag behind in the career of improvement. There is evidently " something rotten in the state of Denmark." If a hint will not suffice, we shall speak a little more plainly.

It is a noble effort, gloriously sustained, and fraught with unequivocal indications of complete and perma nent success. We may well be proud 'of an achievement which has demonstrated to the world that, after so protracted a peace, and so many years of inexperience in the use of arms, English men should have so rapidly attained a high degree of proficiency both in drill and in rifle shooting. It has silenced all critics, and struck no little consternation into the hearts of our enemies. Whether we recal to mind the grand array of tens of thousands of armed men deploy ing with unerring precision before our gracious Queen in Hyde Park, or turn our thoughts to wards the flattering results of the peaceful con tests on Wimbledon Common, we cannot fail to be convinced that the people of England are still composed of that undaunted stuff which gained for their ancestors the wide-spread reputation of being the best and most skilful Volunteers in the world. The same gratifying truth has found illustration nearer home—at Claughton, at Ches ter, and at Aintree—and is even now being realised on the sands at Crosby and Hightown. Nor are the other counties and provincial towns behind Lancashire and Cheshire in their efforts to complete the Volunteer organisation ; each and all can boast of their companies, battalions, and brigades ; who have more or less distin guished themselves by diligence in drill, by grand reviews, by admirable mimic fights, and even by subjecting themselves to the rigorous discipline of regular encampment in the field. What more is needed to perfect the move ment, but the acquisition of a greater number of suitable ranges for shooting practice, and the establishment of local and district meetings for competition in skill as marksmen. A bill is now before Parliament to facilitate the attainment of the former object, and there are evidences in several parts of the country that the latter requisite will not much longer be wanting. Why should not Liverpool organise a Rifle Association, and get up a grand shooting match ? The importance of immediately instituting Rifle Associations in every quarter can scarcely be over-estimated, whether we regard them as the means of prompting our Volunteers to acquire first-class skill as marksmen, or as an instru mentality for maintaining undecayed the present high spirited tone of our Volunteer regiments. Why should not every Englishman be a good marksman ? It was so in the olden time—why not now ? The early English Archers were Volunteers in every sense of the word, and while they learnt their craft as freemen and citizens, they constituted a formidable phalanx in the field to whose marvellous precision of aim many a victory is due. Why should not the Riflemen of of our day become as formidable as our Archers "at Cressy fell and red Poictiers "--at the great battles of Falkirk, Halydon-hill, and Holmedon. The most formidable marksmen ever known in war, were those early British Volun teers. Their unparalleled excellence was simply the result of constant practice. The various local records throughout England show that the " butts," or shooting place, was maintained, in accordance with Act of Parliament, in every parish, under heavy penalties if neglected. Many writers attest the great care with which these toxopholite institutions were kept up. The butts were generally near the parish church, and the Church itself was, in those days, not considered too sacred to be employed as a depot for the armour which every parish in England was bound to supply and submit to the periodica l inspection of the justices. " Shooting at the butts " was generally conjoined with the practice of var ious manly exercises and athletic games ; and in the summer evenings the archers were joined on the village green by the maidens dancing, while the matrons sat gladly by, and looked on with ap proving delight. At one time every man under sixty was directed to practice the bow : fathers, governors, and masters, were compelled to train their young people and servants to its use, under severe penalties. -The description of weapon, the length of range, and frequency of practice were also strictly prescribed. If our Volunteer Rifle men are to hold their proper place as a body of national defenders, their course is clear. Rifle associations are only a revival of our old institu tions, with obvious modifications. To attain the required proficiency, artillery and rifle practice must be carried on with the same steady perse verance as our ancestors practised at the butts with the bow for so many ages. With a Rifle Association in every parish, there could be little anxiety as to the permanency of our Volunteer Rifle Corps. That there should be some honest objectors to the revival of the military spirit of the people, we can well believe; but we feel equally certain that those who are most forward in denouncing the movement represent the very policy which has mainly tended to bring about the complica tions which have endangered our national inde pendence, and forced upon us the necessity of arming in self-defence. The peace-at-any-price party have shown a dastardly disinclination to complete our system of defence, because they have no wish that England should maintain an independent position among the nations. The only question, however, in the mind of every loyal sub ject is, What is necessary to put the country and tl.e population into such a condition that we may laugh at all threats of invasion. If we are in. any measure to rely on a volunteer army, it is. clearly our duty to adopt every means in our power to .increase its efficiency ; and if Rifle Associations are to be ranked c,s the most likely agcncy.for that purpose, we trust no other con sideration need be urged to secure their imme diate establishment, The Queen, the Govern melt, and the military authorities are fairly doing their duty in encouraging the movement, and affirding facilities for its development; and dotbtless they will not come short of what is yet required of them. Let the men of Lancashire realise a proud sense of the high position they occupy as the Volunteer defenders of the weal thist and most important province in the empire ; and, as many eyes are turned towards than from every quarter, let them set a noble ex am)le to all by the speedy inauguration of local Rite Associations. A respectful request to the Ealy of DERBY, to become Patron . of such an insitution, would be a graceful conaplimept, to thelegislative founder of the preser t Volunteer mo•ement—his acceptance of which would reflect an honourable distinction on the 6‘ Lancashire Rife Association." THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. Ina recent article we gave a digest of the work accouplished, and the capital invested, by the leaditg telegraph companies of this country; and at that time casually inentlmied, the pro4ection of a ncv cmiapany under the Limited Liability Act, whici was about to avail itself of Allan's System of bland Telegraph Communication, —adopting the principles of the postal service, a low and uniform rate of charge, irrespective of distance. Since that time a copy of the prospectus has been placed in our hands, and this enables us to glance at a few of the leading features of the scheme. The United Kingdom Electric Telegraph Com pany (limited), and for which an Act of Parlia ment has already been obtained, will have a capital to commence with of half-a-million, with power hereafter to double the amount ; and it is claimed for the project that not only will the original cost of laying down wires, &c., be much less than the old companies had necessarily to incur, but the telegraph itself being self-recording, the working expenses, &c., will also be reduced to a minimum ; and it is further proposed to keep clear, -as far as possible, from entangling with the different railways, by which so many stations have to be kept up from which no productive traffic can possibly accrue. The directors mean to proceed cautiously, and it is only intended at first to connect together twelve of the principal towns of the kingdom, and between all of which a direct communication will be established. The first main points or sub-centres will be as follows :—London, direct with Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Hull, York, Leeds, Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Bristol, Plymouth, Portsmouth, South ampton, Brighton, Carlisle, Cheltenham. These will . then form the sub-centres of direct wire circuit, with the various towns in their more immediate localities. To connect the main points in the foregoing plan with an efficiency of wire circuit to meet the increased demand of a uniform and reduced tariff in the first instance, as also to leave a mar gin for the subsidiary traffic when established, will require 25,000 miles. This at an average of £l6 per mile, will leave a large mar gin of the proposed capital for contin gencies, street work, stations &c.; and judging from the calculations made in the prospectus, the undertaking ought to be a highly remunera tive concern. The public, we are certain, would show a ready and eager appreciation of the ad vantages offered ; and the scheme, in every way, seems deserving of attention and support. Whilst on this subject of the telegraph, a fact of some interest may be mentioned. The Progres of Lyons says that the administration of the tele graphic lines has now under consideration a pro ject for affording the public the facility of trans mitting sums of money by telegraphic despatch, so that the office g Marseilles, for instance, on recehing a despatch announcing the deposit of any sum in another office, for the benefit of a per son residing there, would at once pay the amount into his hands. This innovation would certainly be a great advantage on many occasions. DEPARTURE OF CANNONS, GUNS, AND STEAMSHIPS FOR GARIBALDI, FROM LIVERPOOL. This morning, at one o'clock, a noble paddle wheel steamer, the second of two which have been purchased in this port for Garibaldi, rounded the rock on her way to the coast of Sicily. Although, as upholders of constitutional government, we have no right to interfere in the distractions which have fallen upon Naples, yet the sympathy of England is ever with the oppressed, and pervades even commercial circles. Everyone has, more or less, felt unusual interest in the movements of Garibaldi ; and we have already mentioned that MM. Feletti and Orlando, his agents, have been busy in this town negotiating for the purchase of steam vessels and war materiel for that distinguished chief. MM. Feletti and Orlando are men of judg ment and extensive experience ; and the illustri ous Dictator has shown a wise discretion in his selection of them as his agents for this delicate and important mission. N.I. Feletti, to whom we have had the pleasure of being introduced, of held a command in the Sardinian army, in which he served during the war with Austria in 1848. His colleague, M. Orlando, is an eminent engineer in Genoa, owning large works there, and having upwards of 900 men in his employ. These gentlemen, in their arrangements for the purchase of the required steam-ships, have wi se ly reposed unlimited trust in Messrs. Curry, Kellock and Co., the eminent ship-brokers of this town ; and the result, we need not say, has amply justi fied their confidence. Not only have vessels of first-rate character been secured, but they have been bought up on advantageous terms, (b e i ng paid for in cash,) refitted, loaded, and despatched with true business-like celerity. The paddle-wheel steamer Independence, which sailed this morning for Sicily, was built by Messrs. Stevens . and Co., of Glasgow, in the year 1857 ; she is 330 tons register, and will carry 540 tons gross tonnage ; is 225 feet long and 24 feet wide ; when loaded, she will draw 10 feet draught of water. Her engines are 220 horse power, and she is intended to be used as a despatch boat, her aver Age speed being fourteen knots per hour, and her consumption of coal 30 cwt. per hour. Mr. C. R. Suckling has been appointed to command her ; he is a gentleman of great experience, having been employed in the Government Transport Service during the whole of the Crimean war. The Independence takes out no guns or ammunition, but she has a first-rate supply of coal. The Queen of England, which sailed from this port on Thursday morning last, was purchased from Messrs. Leech, Harrison, and Forwood. She is 985 tons nett register ; 1,449 tons gross regis-. ter ; 1,530 builder's tonnage, and is commanded by Captain Corbet, a gentleman well known in this port as an experienced shipmaster. This screw-steamer was built for mail service, at a cost of upwards of £65,000, by the celebrated builders, Messrs. R. & H. Green, of Lond on , under the personal superintendence of Oliv er Lang, Esq., of. 41.31. Dockyard, Chatham, which are warranties that nothing but the best materials and workmanship, and most ap provud fastenings, were used in her construction, Her dimensions are—Length over all, 274 feet ; length over keel, 244 feet; beam, 36, feet 4 inches ; depth of hold, 23 feet 6. inches ; length of poop, 80 feet ; height between deck aft, deck to beam, 6 feet 6 inohes ; ditto amidships, 6 feet 4 inches ; ditto at the stem, 6 feet 8 inches. The height and capacity of the 'tween decks are admirably adapted for a troopship, and competent surveyors have pronounced her capable of carrying the heavy armament of a 16-gun Sloop of war. The engines were constructed by Al,essvi4. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., of London, and were originally intended for the Adiniraity despatch steamer. They have oscillating cylinders, and are fitted with ex 7 pansion gear and other modern improvements. Their nominal horse-power is 300; diameter of cylinder, 63 inches ; length of stroke, 4 feet 0, inches ; steaming speed, 11 knots with canvas, 14 knots. The bunkers will contain 500 tons of coal. She has four tubular boilers and telescopic funnel ; these and the engines are in most com plete order. The screw is so arranged that it can be lifted and lowered at sea, atO is of brass, as well as all tlw frame-work and fasten i ngs connected with it, s o comb i n in g all the ad v antages of a full pow ered steamer with those of a fast clipp er shi p . The Queen of England has been provided with a formidable armament, having on board some of Captain Blakeley's patent rifled cannon, manu factured by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, go c o., engineers, of this town. r l, l lrY are 0 to 7 inches in diameter, and will throw shell, with 8 or 10 degrees elevation, three miles. We believe the amount of materiel purchased from Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co., amounted to upwards of £1,200. One of the guns is mount e d the forecastle upon a traversing carriage ; and she also parries 12 other lie4yy guns; • • Four cases of medical stores from the London Ladies' Garibaldi Society, were shipped i n IPpeu n this vessel by Messrs, Cotesworth, Lyne and Co., value £lOO. Messrs. Curry, Kellock and Co., also shipped 4 cases, sent from the same society, value £4O. There were also shipped 1,125 cases of Col. Colt's Rifles, value £39,800, which were sent by Major Hartley from America, for Garibaldi : they were stored here at M essrs. Baring, Arothers' warehouse, Strigd- Yeet, 6,1)4 were brought over totliis country ~, the American barque Charles B. Truitt. Our readers will recollect that the inhabitants of Queenstown denominated this ves sel the'" mysterious barque," as• she lay off that port for five or six months, before leaving it for Liverpool on the 25th of May last. The rest of the cargo of the Queen of England consists of 25 Tents 80 Rifles (in four cases) Sights for cannon (one case) „ £lO Revolvers (ten cases) .... „ £4OO Rifles (one case) Hardware (two cases) Cartridges (oue case) Parts of arms (12 cases) 800 Cutlasses (16 cases) 1150 Enfield rifles (63 cases) . „ £3500 40 Pistols (one case) Cartridges (one case) 2 Rifle cannons and carriages „ £540 14 121 b. Cannons Empty shells (40 cases) 336 Loose shells There were upwards of 30,000 rifles altogether on board, and her cargo, which was entirely for the use of the Sicilians, amounted to upwards of £50,000 in value. The four Whitworth guns, subscribed for in Manchester for Garibaldi, did not arrive in time for despatch by this vessel. We understand they will be forwarded by next steamer. The Inde pendence and Queen of England were cleared for Gibraltar. We have no doubt, from what appears in our Paris correspondent's letter, that these are the vessels, among others, for which General Gari baldi is waiting before he makes his dash upon Calabria. We should not omit to add that the Queen of England has also on board a large quantity of lint, for which Miss White will, no doubt, find ample use in the hospitals at Palermo under her direction. THE LATE ROBERT B. BROUGH. We understand that the people of Liverpool will shortly have an opportunity of joining in the tribute of respect which is being paid in the Metropolis and other parts of the country to the memory of the late lamented and highly gifted author, R. B. Brough, whose great literary merits are universally recognised. Many of our readers will probably recollect Mr. Brough's connecti on with a highly humorous and satirical weekly paper, published in this town, entitled the Liver pool Liaia. The lamented gentleman's forte lay in this kind of humorous narrative, in light essay, in pure joke-weavin g an d persiflage, in satire, and sometimes pathetic, not sentimental, poetry. As a writer of burlesques, with many of the most popular of which his name is identified, he was almost unequalled. His last literary undertak ing was the " Welcome Guest," of which he was the conductor and a contributor. The deceased's death took place at the house of his brother-in-law, at Manchester, on the 26th of June last. He has left a wife and three young children to mourn his untimely loss, with but unfor tunately scanty means of support. It is with a view to raise a small fund for the benefit of the widow and her young children, that the members of the Savage Club are about to give an additional amateur dramatic performance in Liverpool. The committee of the club boasts amongst its members the names of Mr. C. Dickens, Tom Taylor, Wilkie Collins, Francis Talfourd, E. L. Blanchard, Henry Mayhew, and a host of other celebrated literati. It is expected that Mr. George Cruikelank, Mr. G. A. Sala, Mr. F. Talfourd, Mr. J. Hollingshead, Mr. Leicester Buckingham, and several other authors of cele brity will take part in the proposed representa tion, which is to be under the direction of Mr. C. Millward, of this town, a member of the club, and a friend of the late Mr. Brough. The performance, which we believe will take place at the Amphitheatre, will include "The Forty Thieves." Miss Fanny Stirling, the daughter of the celebrated Mrs. Stirling, who has recently made such a distinguished debict on the London stage, has also most kindly assented to give her valuable services. Full particulars of this in teresting dramatic performance will shortly be announced. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday, August 2, 1860. Everything which has transpired on the sub ject, within the last day or two, tends to streng then the impression that an alliance is on the eve of being formally concluded between the Great Northern Powers—Prussia and Russia on the one part, and Prussia and Austria on the other ; and that England does not view such a combina tion unfavourably. The same thing happened in 1840, when there was also a Syrian question on the tapis, and when also the Cabinets of London, of Berlin, of Vienna, and of St. Petersburg, were leagued against that of Paris. What more natu ral, therefore, than for Napoleon 111. to fancy, particularly in presence of Lord Palmerston's speech, such a complication as again possible; and to endeavour, through the medium of a letter for the consideration of the English Prime Mi nister, to neutralise, as far as possible, its effects, I feel quite satisfied that overtures, with the above view, have been exchanged between the Powers conc erned ; and that th ese h ave come to th e knowledge of the Emperor Napoleon in the course of the discussions to which his proposed Syrian question has given birth. As for the decision of the Conference on this tatter question, it is as far off as ever. The statu quo still continues. No date has yet been fixed for the third sitting, and as for the departure of the troops, it is contingent on orders expected from St. Cloud, In fact, the despatch of the first part of the expe dition, consisting. of 5,000 men, remains fixed for either to-day or to-morrow. Of these, 2,000 w ill embark from Toulon, and 3,600 from Marseilles. The Government organs, while persisting i n stating that the representatives of the Powers differ only on some points of detail, say they feel confident that "whatever happens, France will not abandon the Christians of Syria, who have placed in her all their whole trust." It is added, that the intelligence received from the war ports announces that the preparations for the embarka tion of the expedition are actively continued, ' There is news from Damascus from Marseilles yesterday, down to the 19th ultimo, The lournal de Constantinople confesses to the massacre of 2,000 Christians at Damascus. It contradicts the accounts Of the disturbances at Aleppo, and adds, that the Turkish forces in Syria are to be augmented to 26,0,00 men, It is also mentioned that an eineute of Armenian schismatics has broken out in the capital. Several thousands of them have combined to prevent the interment of a Protestant in their cemetery. The English Ambassador h as called for help from the Government, &Ad thirty or forty of the rioters have been killed by the Turkish soldiers. Whet a time for such a specta cle of want og Christian charity to be exhibited ; From ijeyrout, there is a statement that the majo rity of the Mussulmans there had not participated in the massacres; but it is asserted that the con sulates of Russia, France, Belgium, Gieece, and Austria have been burnt—those. of England an d Prussia, alone being t.e,sp,eet e d, The churches and convents ,avie tibia been burnt. A letter from Messina, to one of the papers here, dated the 30th, says that the truce between Garibaldi and General Clary was signed only the day before, and that it stipulates kr the handing over to Garibaldi of the forts situate in the envi rons of Messina ; the all the Undisturbed embarkation of personnel and materiel of the Nea politan army ; the reciprocal engagement, in case of hostilities recommencing between the 'the citadel, which remains in the power of the Neapolitans and the City, to proclaim the termi nation of the armistice forty-eight hourshours at least, in advance. Alre4dY. it is remark e d b y t h e write , of this account, Messina has resumed its has animated aspect; everybody recovered confi dence since the foreign ships of war have returned to their former anchorage in the port. Th e inhabitants believe any hostility on the part of the citadel to be impossible, now that these ships have 00 3 *Y General Garibaldi and his staff have gone to Faro, at the entrance of the Straits of Messina, where a garrison was placed forthwith. It is sa id that the Calabrians on the opposite coast are greatly agitated. But it is given out as quite certain, that a numerous deputation arrived on the 29th from Reggio, and that the members of it declared to Garibaldi that the Ca,lahrians only waited for his prese4eq among them, to pronounce in favour 04 the national movement." It is evident in these circumstances, that the truce had been agreed to, merely to save further effusion of blood, and that Garibaldi is employing the interval in arranging his expedition fox the mainland of Sicily, where the troops, as well as the people, are ready to receive him with open arms. Meanwhile, according to intelligence which has been received through a most trust worthy channel, it is intimated that the present desideratum of the Sicilians themselves is, to be annexed to the kingdom of Piedmont, but as a separate province, and as much as possible with a Viceroy ; to have a Sicilian Parliament, enjoying a real importance; and, finally, not to be subjected to the regime of the conscription. There is certainly nothing out of the way in this pro gramme. It has surely been already won for them by Garibaldi. I observe it is explained, with reference to the opposition which the Garibaldians encountered at Milazzo, that this town contains, within it a cer tain proportion of fatuities whose members are engaged in important employments under the Bourbon Government. These families and their adherents naturally did not share the hatred of the Sicilians for the Dynasty of Naples : on the con trary : and accordingly this fraction of the inhabi tants made common cause with the Royal troops; but it is by no means to be inferred from this that the population of Milazzo, as a body, was hostile to Garibaldi. I had not time yesterday to send you the par ticulars of the grand review of the First Corps d'Armee, under the command of General Magnani which was held in the evening, of the previous day, on the racecourse of Longchamp. It was indeed a magnificent spectacle, and nowhere else, probably, but in Paris, could such a sight be wit nessed at the present moment. The three divi sions of infantry arrived on the ground in succes sion, and formed on the ground in three lines, by battalions, en masse. These troops were placed under the orders of three generals of division, de Ladmirault, Bazaine, and Baron Fririon. The Sappers and the Paris Guard, forming three battalions, were under the orders of General Souman, general of division. Behind them were drawn up the three brigades composing the cavalry division, commanded by General d'Allon ville, and a numerous artillery, belonging to the 2nd and 18th Regiments, under the orders of General Guiod. These different corps formed an effective of 29 battalions, 27 squadrons, and 1t batteries of mounted artillery. At four o'clock the Emperor, accompanied by a brilliant staff, in which several foreign officers were conspicuous, arrived on the race-course, and passed down in front of the troops to the cries, a thousand times repeated, of " `rive L'Empereur !" after which his Majesty, placing himself in the centre, distributed crosses and military medals to the officers and soldiers who had been recommended for rewards. The whole of the troops defiled in battalions and squadrons. The various regiments, in passing before his Majesty in succession, saluted him with the most enthusiastic acclamations. At seven o'clock, the Emperor returned to the Palace of St. Cloud. The review had the advantage of a magnificent sun, and attracted to the Bois de Bollogne a large concourse of spectators, who • manifested the most eager anxiety to obtain a view of the Emperor. His Majesty has also reviewed the pupils of the military school of St. Cyr, by whom he was of course received with every sign of youthful mili tary demonstrativeness, and he has permitted the Prince Imperial to gratify the pupils of 'the Lyceum at Versailles by paying them a visit at their establishment. The youthful Prince went to the chapel to hear the pupils sing a Dwane salcum ; and the devout manner in which he conducted himself was remarked by alt the persons present. On leaving the sacred building the Prince asked to see the head master, and with a charming grace bid him make his. adieus to his young friends, charging him to thank them for the way in which they had re ceived him. Of course the visit would have been incomplete without the introduction into the pro ceedings of the military element ; and accordingly, before finally leaving the building, the Prince was treated with a march, chanted by the choir- Two more royal meetings are announced. The Queen of Spain, desiring to thank the Emperor for his recent attempt to have Spain recognised as a first rate Power, has requested His Imperial Majesty and the Empress to pay her a visit at Barcelona, on their way to Algiers ; and the Turin journals announce that Victor Emmanuel is to meet the Imperial party at Nice, o n the occasion of their going to inspect their new acquisition. The Council of Ministers convened by the Em.-- peror for Wednesday last remained an unusally long time in deliberation, and did not separate till a very late hour. I had hoped to have given you to-day ail account of the competitive trial of the mowing machines held this week at St. Cloud, and of the distribution of the prizes, and also of an invention by a manufacturer of Lyons, of some new machinery for cotton spinning by which a saving to the extent of 75 per cent. is to be effeeted in the cost of manufacture, but I must delay this till my next. I may mention, however, that the first prize and the gold medal for the best mowing machine were awarded to Messrs. Burgess and Key, who brought forward one worked by two horses which performed wonders, con sidering the nature of the ground and the state of the crops on which it had to operate. The first prize for the French machines (there were two classes, one for foreign exhibitors and the other for French) was awarded to a French gentleman for an excellent machine which required one horse only to work it. I shall give you in my next an account of the first representation of M. Ponsard's new comets„ which was a thorough and marked sitcc.s. There has again been a fall in RenteA, The, offers to sell are greatly in excess of the. demand. The market for transactions in private stocks is. comparatively better than that of the public funds.. The monthly liquidation was. accomplished with, facility, and at prices which present no materiel. difference between those of the corresponding previous closing. The IrWatea yesterday fell 25c. VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. • THE CAMP AT CROSBY. A detachment of the Ist battalion of Ake Liver pool Volunteer Rifles is encamped ( among the sandhills on the shore at Crosby,, within a short distance of the town. The landbelongs to Major Blundell. The tents, supplied by a gentleman from London, were used in the Crimea by the English army ; 35 have been already pitched, and . are occupied by eighty or a hundred men, exclusive of °facets, among whom are Col. Bousfield (in command), Captains Bright, Martin, Power, Robertson ; Lieuts. Howard, Moseley, Burktti, Skirving (of the Lancashire Artillery Milk*, Deely, Henshaw ; Ensigns Cotton, Lister, Cook son, and Wesley. The tents are all named after some peculiar place or object. One is. facetiously termed ‘k The Hermit age ;" another is called "Donnybrook," which, like the fair of that name, will probably be the scene of jollity; a third has been christened the "Weasel's Cot ;" a fourth, " Furnace Abbey." Then there are " The Pirate's Den," or " The jolly Thieves' Hollow; " "The Squirrel's Roost ;" "The Bungalow," and "St. George's-hall." One of the most prominent is the " Pandemonium," on which are repre-• sented the little devils stirring up the fire.. " Bacon Castle" does not smell of pig; and, although " The Mossy Cell" is not quite so green as moss, it and all the others are pretty, and a sketch of them would look extremely well. The men turn in after parade in the• evening, except the sentries ; and are called up again at five a.m. Parade takes place at half past six, breakfast comes next, and then the volunteers go by train to business. A canteen is at hand: the owner, Mr. Wilson, of the Litherland Hotel, Crosby, supplies the volunteers with breakfast and tea. The guard mounts at seven ; the sentries are posted and relieved every two hours. Discipline is rigorously carried out. On Sunday the company will march to Crosby Church. It is intended to have a sham fight in a short time ; and before the camp is broken up,. an amateur dramatic representation will take place, probably in Furnace Abbey. To-night, dill, including skirmishing, will take place. The camp is visited by a large number of ladies. and gentlemen. SHAM FIGHT THIS EVENING AT HIGHTOWN. This evening a sham fight will take place at Hightown. The volunteers who will engage in the battle are the members of the 2nd Battalion Liverpool Rifles. There is no doubt the affair will go off with eclat ; it has created considerable interest, and we are not far wrong in stating that Hightctwn sands will be crowded on the occasion. A special train, containing the volunteers and their friends, will leave Liverpool about half-past four o'clock.
