LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. Ett Cotton 'A:lariat. The Liverpool Cotton Market has assumed a rather quieter tone, under the influence of the pre • sent unseasonable weather. The advices per Canada, being somewhat conflicting, have failed to increase the previously existing speculative alarm respecting the growing crops. A good • daily business was transacted during the week, but with rather more liberal offerings the market ruled steady but without animation. Brazil and Egyptian were dull of sale. Surat was in good supply and rather easier. The weekly sales amount to 63,080 bales, of which 6,860 were on speculation, and 9,550 for export. • This week Price paid Cur Prices Description. this week mid. fair.

There was at last a lull in the arrivals. The Government contract is advertised for, the quan tity required being a little over last year's. There was rather more tone in the market for Pork, under the influence of the Government contract advertisement, but as no American cure can be taken the effect on this article was not direct. Bacon 'was in fair retail request, and the stock gradually reducing, but, as usual at, this late period of the season, holders meet buyers freely. Hams dull. Shoulders scarce. There was more doing in Lard, and the sales for the week reach 150 tons, at steady prices. For Cheese there was an excellent demand, at full prices for all qualities.

The Engl4h funds to-day were restrained from improvement by the broken character of the weather, and by the news that Garibaldi's force has at last crossed over the mainland. Very little business was done, and after experiencing scarcely the slightest variation throughout the day, consols closed the same as yester day. The market for British railway stock was rather firmer. Business in the discount market was quieter.

The market closed strong for Wheat, with the tendency to im provement since the report of Mark-lane came down. —There is no improvement to note in the char acter of the weather, which continues cold, wet, and ungenial, and the crops make little progress towards ripening. Similar weather has also pre vailed in many parts of France, causing serious fears for the safety of the harvest, which is now being reaped there, and prices have advanced materially. At the provincial markets held this week farmers have generally demanded high prices for Wheat, but the recent considerable ad vance in value leads millers to act with caution, and business has been transacted only to a mo derate amount, at an improvement of ls. to 2s. per quarter. The French goVernment have decided on the admission of Grain and Flour free of duty, from foreign countries, imported under any flag. The trade here, since Tuesday, has ruled firm, and a slight advance over the rates of that day has been realised on Wheat and Flour, but the transactions have not been extensive. The Gazette returns of . Wheat for the week ended 18th inst. are 72,322 quarters. The imports from abroad for the past three days are only moderate of Wheat and Flour, and small of other articles. The exports are also moderate. ARRIVALS AND EXPORTS From the 21st to the 23rd August, 1860, inclusive. tf)rtt tOs ad. this Atarket.

The House of Eords sat ter two or three hods liiSt night. The Lord Chancellor gave a resume of the labours of their lordships in the path of law reform, in which ho expressed his regret that so little advance had been made, notwithstanding the number of measuers which had beenintroduced with that object. In the House of Commons Lord Palmerston stated ) in ansWer to Mr. lintt, that tia Austrian dovezurnent was steadfastly adhering to its resolution of non-inter ference in the Araks of Italy; and he added; that the reports of a contrary tendency, which had been circu lated of late, were without foUndation. Its lordship after Wat-ls replied to several questions as to Savoy and Nice, Syria, Egypt, and Persia, and to the progress .of Garibaldi, who, remarked, he could not hope for success at Naples by his own force, without the assistance of the people. . The !Act 4 a 'general of the Neapolitans, in the province of Basilicata is confirmed. The Royal In tendant of Potenza has placed himself at the head of the insurrection, and the Garibildiaus, in their attack on Reggio, were assisted by . a body. of 4,090 , dalabrians, who had been got together by Garibaldi's lieutenants. Notwithstanding all the preparations and nieans of defenc,e which are being resorted to at Naples by the miserable young Monarch, it is not to be supposed that Garibaldi and his followers will encounter any really for midable resistazce. The chiefs of the National Guard of Naples have tendered their resignation, on account of the foreign battalion not hating been disbanded—a mere pretext, for ivhich National Guards, on such occasions, ate seldom at a loss—and we are assured that the Government is so afraid to trust its navy out of sight that" foreign shipping hive been - chattered to watch the coast. The order of the Ainister of War, in which, in alluding to the unsuccessful attempt to cut out the Monarea, he expresses his thanks to the army, navy, and National Guard, seems, so far as the latter of the two services, at all events, are con cerned, to have produced no effect. The capture of Fort Scylla, opposite the Fato Point, is reported, and thiS posititn completes for Garibaldi the command of the Straits, which his remaining forces may now cross at perfect pleasure. The rocky stronghold was held by an English garrison in 1.8 ; 08, but a French assault dis lodged the then 'protectors of Sicily, and King Joachin Murat reigned 'over the Calabrian in his generation fcr a brief interval. . . . W are now told that the discovery of a conspiracy organised between the Count d'Aquila and the 4fa:- zinian ComitatO, for effecting a coup d'etat in n. . his oa favour, of whiCh we have reccivod a minute and account, Twas the cause of the Counts sudden dismissal from Naples. .The objects of this Pi.- ject were to be accompliihed'as follows :—lt was aired that at the cry of "Viva la Reinibliea," the creatures ,f the Prince were to throw themselves on.the military, - or n any other way create a disturbance; the:lting was to hve been set aside—some say murdered; the: Prince w:aAto have been declared Regent, and universal suffrage. invoked as the wish of the Emperor of the French, n order, to decide on the future fortunes of the county. It was ascertained that . the Count had enlisted a number of men in his service at, some say, a piaire 'a day, and there are those who affirm that tby themselves were tampered with by the Prince, ad refused hie offers. Caps and uniforms of the fash)n worn by the National Guard were also. brought ito Naples, and a great quantity of arms.

Many such persoriti have been - arrested, and deposits of arias seized. In the list of the persons to be sacrificed were several, of the Ministers, espe cially De Martino, Liborio Romano, and Gcn. Pianelli. On Monday, the 13th, the Council resolved to expel the Count, and on the morning of the 14th he left. The day fixed for the movement was the 16th, and had it not been timeou.sly discovered this abominable enter prise would have cost many citizens their lives, possibly the nation its liberties, and seated on the throne the monster who is said to have conceived it. The Prince was not arrested and put on his trial, •it is said, merely because it was feared that sufficient legal exi donee could not have been produced, although the moral evidence, it is asserted, amounts to a certainty. Another report says that, as Admiral of the fleet, the Prince proposed the very sensible measure of taking the available naval force at Naples to Messina, and then and there destroying, if possible, the *hole of the Garibaldian marine, and that thereupon the Minister advised the King to send him on a mission, in truth, to send him into exile—an odd proceeding in Ministers who profess to be so anxious to defend the throne. We are utterly unable to reconcile these conflicting stories. It will be observed that our Paris Correspondent also sup plies some details of this interesting episode in Neapo litan affairs. It is with much pleasure we refer to the inspection of the borough constabulary yesterday, by Col. Wopdford, the Government inspector of police. His opinion of the foice is no mean authority, and when he stated that " for disciPline, good conduct, and efficiency they were, in his opinion, second to none in the kingdom," the Watch Committee, under whose charge such a satisfactory state of affairs has been brought into existence, must feel proud, and the public in general delighted, that the "good old town" possesses a force which merits such a character. The returns from the New York, Liverpool, and London corn markets, verify our announcement as to the quantities df grain which America' would supply to Britain this season. The returns from New York show that the grain exported from that port has been chiefly to this country, as will be seen by.the following state ment of exports for the week ending August 2 : To Great Britain Flour. Wheat. Corn. brls. bush. bush. 32,181 ". 273995 ... 27,550 To 13riti6h provinces & other places 16,383 ... 9,002 ... 4,102 From the Ist to the 31st of July the're were exported from New York the following extraordinary amounts of wheat and corn, to which we have added, for the sake of comparison, the experts of 18.59, during the same period of time : 1860. 1531. Bush. Bush. 1,419,857 ... 9,02.6 Corn, 177,386 ... 36,026 bris. brls. ' Wheat flour If we look to the importations on this side of the Atlan- Ac, wes see that already in the week ending August Bth, 3260.38 quarters of corn, chiefly American, were received at the principal •ports.of Britain. During the month of July, there were imported into Great Britain and Ireland 1,626418 quarters of the different kinds of grain, and 490,024 cwt. of meal and flour. The rates of imports for the present month and , during the anturnti will Certainly mach exceed these figures. A scheme is on foot for raisingi br subscriptions of £loo' each, a sum sufficient for the endoWnaent of a new bishopric for Cornwall, an intimation having been given by Lord Palmerston that the. only obstacle to the erection of the proposed new see was the want of such an endowment. The Bishop .of Exeter has consented to the division of the diocese, and has offered to make over to the new Bishop of Cornwall all the ecclesias tical patronage belonging to the see in that county. The incessant rain which fell during yestorday morning has bad most disastrous effects. At Greenford, between Ealing and Elarrow-on-the-Hill, the river Brent over flowed its banks to some distance. The'accounts which have been feeeii , efl from Kent and Essex represent several of the marshes as having the appearance of vast lakes; many sheep having been drowned. The Ravens; bourne is overflowed, and much damage done to garded ground upon its banks ; and, on the banks of the Med way a large number of sheep were drowned by the overflow of the marsh land. The prorogation of Parliament will take place on Tuesday next, the 28th instant. A Privy Council will be hbid et Balmoral on Monday morning, at which the Queen's speech will be settled.

DIVORCES FOR THE MILLION. Tri "marry in haste and repent at leisure" used to be a common Prirettenot unfrequently realised in experience. People may, and pr4l.lily do ; still get married with as much haste as of yore, but so far as repentance goes, nowadays, we spurn the idea of taking it leitairely. We have, indeed, no occasion for it j since it is about as easy to get a diCrol-Ce di d Marriage license: The marriage tie was wont to be considered sicredi and indis soluble save by the supreme court in the kingdom, and then only for the gravest of all reasons, after the most deliberate and search into investigation, and under limitations and difficulties which i-ed6r6d the process unin viting, and little . likely to be abused. tilt that was found to be too slow for this fast age; and every facility is now afforded to those, who may have repented of their matrimonial bargain to back out of it as speedily as they may desire. Couples still get Wedded nothinally for life, but the formula had better be reformed and adapted to the age: Let the . N+Ords " until death do you part" be altered shghtly,'land read " Until the Divorce Court do you separate." To the words " what heaven' hath joined' let not man put asunder," we must add-- ,, save under the order of Sir CRESSWELL CRESSWELL, or the judge of the Divorce Court." Consistency demands this. Why sh oiild..it net . 150 done . ? Does any one grumble about its profanity the House of Commons, whose sittings are regularly opened .by prayer and a formal declara tion-of its belief in - . all .the doctrines of our holy religion,—can it be accused of profanity ? Has not the principle of the Divorce Court been approved of by that E;hristiiiii assembly ? Nay, more ; has not that House all bitt passed rt 4 act adding to the facilities of 'that court, and for extending the benefits it is so well calculated to Confer - upon that large part (Sf the community who have heed so foolish as think it necessary to get married ? 'Who talks. about these courts being destructive of the authority of the Church, or iii opposition to the opinions of learned and right reverend doctors Is not this an age of progress, and if some people will adhere to antiquated institutions and dogmas, must we not, however reluctantly, leave them unheeded behind us ? Why call matrimony a state of " holy wedlock ? " If not altogether a matter-of money, ought it not . to be viewed generally as a mere connubial contract,. Which, like any other human arrangement, ought to be set aside when the proper civil judge is . satisfied that the party . petitioning has made out a good case? In this busy age, when people travel by steam, speak by lightning, and revolutionise so many kingdoms per annum, all as a matter of course, why, there is no leisure for courtship, and if in the hurry to get a Wife or a husband, one should •make a mistake, is it to be tolerated that one should not have immediate release, or be kept waiting for it even for a few months ? We are . undoubtedly getting on very fast towards a perfect, adaptation of the Divorce Court ,to meet every emergency with the utmost possible despatch; and by-and bye we may expect to have attained such a degree of perfection in granting an instant discharge from the fetters of wedlock, that verylstobably it may come to be a question Whether it 'be worth the trouble and expense of going through the old-fashioned marriage ceremony . at all'; and every man and woman in the ; country shall be at perfect liberty to act in this matter as may, for the time being, seem right and proper in their own eyes. Is not this the land of glorious liberty ? And shall we submit to be fettered in our social demeancyar by any tie or consideration whatever, beyond *hat may be demanded by the exigencies of •the passing moment rf any one is So far behind the age as not to have known the crying necessity that existed for the recent enlargement of the powers of the Divorce Court, he ought to be ashamed of him self. Here are a few facts which cannot fail to convince the most obtuse and obstinate. In the first place, the former state of the law required that no dissolution of marriage should be granted except by a,full court, consisting of three judges, of whom the Judge-Ordinary should be one, the other two being selected from the Lord Chan cellor, and the chiefs of the three courts of common law. This arrangement was adopted under the foolish idea that it was necessary to provide some safeguard against collusion and connivance. put there was great difficulty in constituting a full court; and couples were getting impatient for freedom—so, last year, to expedite business, all the puisne judges were made members of the court. ^till it was impossible to do justice to the crowds of petitioners who clamoured to have their shackles broken. Much advantage in point of des patch is anticipated from the new arrangement, by which it is to be left to the Judge Ordinary alone to dispose of these divorce cases. The urgency of the case may be inferred from the fact that under the former plan the court had never been able to dissolve more than nineteen marriages at one sitting! How slow, and what a hardship was thus being inflicted upon the three hundred petitioners whose cases were waiting to be dis posed of at this miserable rate ! Why, the un fortunate three hundredth petitioner must, at this rate, have had to wait at least a month, if not much more, before emancipation ! The idea of so thoroughly sifting a case as to ascertain that there'exists no understanding between the parties, - is of course out of the qnestion,—especially where the respondent does not appear to oppose the petitioner, and a great proportion of the cases are of this nature. Such an investigation would take too much time, and the other cases wouldsnever be got through. t esides, after all, if the parties chiefly interested are pleased, what does it matter to prevent their wishes being gratified ' Then again the imperative demand for the establish ment of such convenient . courts, may be demon , strated by a cursory glance at the last • five-and twenty years, and the insufferable inefficiency of the old as compared with the new system 'During twenty-three long years prior to 1857, there had been only some three hundred and thirty attempts to procure divorce, or at the rate of about fourteen per annum. That was under the old plan. How has the new one worked ? Why, in one short year, 1858, there were no less than three hundred and twenty petitions presented , for dissolution of marriage and judicial separation ; that is to say, nearly as many cases in one brief twelvemonth, under the new system, as had occurred for nearly a quarter of a century under the former process. Can anyone fail to see the vast improvement P But even this is nothing to what we yet must reach. It is an established maxim, that as you increase the facilities, you will increase the demand. The opening of the doors of the divorce coutt so much wider, must add universally to the number of applicants, and thus greatly enlarge the libertiei of the lieges. Why not boldly carry out the .system to its full extent at once, and establish County Divorce Courts ? Or perhaps the marriage system might be advantageously placed upon the same easy footing as' he licensing system under the new Refreshment Houses Act. It would make the machinery so - completely available to the whole population,. that we might expect to hear no more of dothestic misery and matrimonial heartburnings. Doubtless it will come to that ; bat it seems we must be content to take these reforms by instalments. Let us be truly thankful for the last, and pray earnestly fur the next. The ohanges to be wrought rita the blessings conferred on society generally by a fultble wn system of cheap divorces are too numerous to be particularised. There may be some little ince'', - '!•enienes too ; but what of that ? We must be . We hate tten hitherto perhaps too mu c h accustomed to think of a gentiernEtn or lady once married, as married for life ; and the ttstal saluta tion of " how-d'ye-do" is naturally and gracefUlly followed by, and how is Mr. or Mrs. So-and-so" —the husband or wife, as the case may be. Ere long this won't clo; however, when perhaps one's friend has, in consequence Of something that happened over night, applied for -and obtained a divorce in the morning. " Still married to the same party, eh ?" or " Who are you married to *ill then suitably take the place of, or, at all events, precede, the rresent old-fashioned form of courtesy. Matrimony will then be an agree able " flirtation galopade" in. the quadrille of life, of which " change partners" will form one of the greatest charms. The mode in which this pastime is go'ne' through was clearly pointed out, the other night, by the host; member for Maryle bone--Mr. JAMES. It was a lamentable though common mistake, said that enlightened legislator, to suppose that we ought to attempt to prevent the adaltcrer marrying the adulteress ; when a matt had seduced a married woman, he made the amends in his power (honourable man !) by marrying ha taw she had been divorced ! This was one of the ways in which he conceived the Divorce Courts conferred a great benefit. on the free. public. How grateful married people must fee] to Mr. JAMES und the Divorce Courts. Who ! shall say that this has been a "barren" session ? 11tiS it noti iit its dying moments, witnessed the enactment at a; tiew Divorce 1 ill , possessing the good qualities we helve to; Other im portant measures have, very prdptrif been dropped or pushed aside. Observe the laudable ieal and determination of the Attorney-General in hurry ing through its second reading, committing it, aild having it reported again to the House all in one evening; 'the loss of the Bankruptcy Court Amendment Bill Way gencially 'considered a most grievous affliction to the interests of trade and commerce. But see how judiciously the wottnded feelings of the country have been healed by the adroit and determined manner in which has been saved from the general wreck of the session that invaluable legislative boon, the Divorce Courts Amendment Act. What a blessing to the country is a Liberal Administration, adorned by each a wise and learned Attorney-General! • THE NEW FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS OF FRANCE. . : The following is a translation of an analytical statement, in the Patrie of Thureday last, re garding the falling off in the French Customs returns, during the last seven months, ending 31st July last It results from the officia l table of the c ustoms, that the duties received on im p orts, p ro duced for rst July 18x9, 8t179,5uwma50fi170,6,25055,0,00000f.

The applica tion of the new commercial system is of too recent a date to permit of its beneficial effects being manifested in any important increase in the consumption of primary substances, and of goods on which the duty has been taken if.. The following are; the , principal articles ' of merchandise, of which the quantities imported show a comparative increase over.the 'figures for the corresponding month of July, 1859 :—CoffQe, cocoa, augers, the produce of our colonies, cattle, wools, fresh and salt meats, oil, wines, brandies, spirits called 3 /6 (the worst qualities), woods for cabinet-making, arachides, linseed, oils from olives and from oil-producing seeds, peeled flax and tow, threads of linen and flax, raw tallow, and hogs' lard, zinc of first fusion, linen and hempen cloths. The amount of exports, as compared with those for 1859, yields results satisfactory only as respects the following articles .—Machines and mechanism, refined sugar, liqueurs, linen and cotton thread, linen cloths, cotton cloths, woollen stuffs, silk fabrics, glass and crystal, porcelain, sea salt and salt from the salt pits, oxen and bulls, cows, calves, and heifers. The outgoings of the other articles composing our exports have either diminished or are maintaining their accus tomed proportions. During the month of July, there have been entered 413,434 hectogrammes (the tenth part of a kilogramme) of silver in bars, or in coin ; and we have received 1,017,947 hectogs. In the same month of 1859, there were exported 815,538 hectogs. of this metal, against 1,924,920 hectogs. for the corresponding month of last year. The imports of gold in bars, or coin, amounts in all to 183,690 hectogs. In July 1839, they amounted to 317,323 hectogs. The exports of gold have fallen from 117,034, to 106,723 hectogs. With the exception of cereals, of coffee, of French and foreign sugars, of pure copper and of first fusion, of salt from the salt pans and mineral salts, and of brimstone,. the stocks of merchan dise in bonded warehouses (entrep6ts) are below those of last year at the end of July. The amount of the consumption-tax paid upon French and foreign salts, delivered in July, for home consumption, is 2,939,000 fr., in the.room of 679,000 fr. in 1859.. According to the comparative movement of navigation from Ist January to 31st July, 1859, as contrasted with the corresponding period in 1860, the number of tons entered inwards, has this year fallen from 2,322,882 to 2,233,236. The amount of tonnage entered outwards has fallen fiOm 1,872,817 to 1,644,540. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRANCE. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.} PARIS, Friday, August 24, IS6O. Having regard to the present prospects of the King and Kingdom of Naples, one is quite prepared for the information that the negotiations which MM. Manna and Winspeare were charged to conduct at Turin, for an alliance between Naples and Piedmont, have finally and conclusively terminated, and that M. Manna has returned to Naples to report his want of success. From Naples news continues to be received of the same con fused and deplorably unsatisfactory character as ever. "The King is furious," writes one of the inhabitants to a friend in Turin, " againsthis army, on which he finds he can by no means depend ; and the officers are giving in their resignations, with the view of going either into Sicily, or coming to this country. The soldiers are deserting in great numbers, and those who remain don't hesitate to declare that they don't wish to fight against the Italians. Notwithstanding all this, however, the government intends to make a great stand in the capital, where the elifo of the army is collected." It is also said that General Pianelli has exacted a new oath of fidelity to the Constitution, and has allowed all those to leave the service who do not wish to take it. "In the midst of all the contradictory statements which are made in the different despatches from this city," writes another correspondent, "it is quite certain that Naples is at this moment in a state of extreme agitation. Foreigners, and the members of the upper classes, are emigrating en masse; the major part of the establish ments of the opulent tradesmen in Toledo are closed ; commerce is literally at a stand. still; and in order to prevent a regular break up of busziness (da , (ic'e), it has been found necessary in all cases to give time for the payment of bills that fall duo. The council of ministers sits en permanence, and anxiety is general." There is a report that Garibaldi had a conference with M. Villamarina, on board a Sardinian vessel, in the Bay of Naples ; for which purpose he is said to have paid a. second visit to Naples ; but I understand that it is quite incorrect, as is also of course the stor:a of Baron Talleyrand having made a representation to M. de ' Cavour on the subject. As to the Count d'Aquila, and the cause of his extml sion, there is still a considerable degree of mystee-y, which is' by no means easy to penetrate. A number of injurious rumours have been circulated on the subject with the connivance of the Ministry. The friends of the Prince assert that they are all calumnies—the Count in their opinion, has never conspired against anybody in his life, and he has declared as much himself in the protest which be has forwarded to the Government. What the Prince was perhaps contem plating, was a reaction, but in the liberal and ' Italian sense, against the Annexioniste, whom he was beguiling : and what he probably coveted was a regency, but with the assent of the King, and with a view to the establishment of his authority on a surer basis ; at least, this is what his friends give out was the case, and it is in keeping with the terms of his letter to the King, which is now published, and in which he con cludes as fellows—" I must be permitted to write these lines to attest my innocence, and to protest before your Majesty, before the nation, and before the entire world, that I have not deserved the treatment which bas been inflicted upon me, and that I had a right to expect quite another kind of recompense." Accordirg to the latest news, received here last night, the Minister of War has formed corps of observation at Pouz"zoles, at Pausilippo, at Portico, and Terre del Greco, with the object of rendering impossible any disembar kation of Garibaldians in the Gulf of Naples itself. It is also stated that it bed been proposed to the King to fix his residence at Gaeta, but that he had refused to do so in the most positive mariner, declaring that had no wish whatever to leave Naples. The fact of the inhabi tanfs of Potenza, in the province of Basilicata, having organised a previsional government, is not confirmed-- but neither is it contradicted. A correspondent of the Petrie, who writes from Naples on the 18th inst., says that it is now certain that treasou had its share in the abortive attempt by the Veloce, to cut out the Monarca from under the guns of Castellamare. It appears from this writer's account of the affair, that the captain of the Monarca, a gentleman of the name of Vaccae who is an Annexionist candidate of the electoral committees which were lately dissolved, had arranged with them a prate for permitting his vessel to be taken possession, of by the crew of the Veloce ; but that, as good luck would have it, abed been superseded in his command the previous evening, mid fifty men had been put on board of the Monarca in place of the six, to whom the charge of the vessel when in harbour was usually entrusted. He says that Vacca has since sent in his resignation and has disappeared. The same writer, in allading to the expulsion of Count Aquila, states that the principal charge against him rests on the fact of the discovery by the police of twenty-two chests of arms at the custom-House without any address, which chests, he remarks, were supposed to have been intended for the Insurrectionary Committee, who had entered into arrangements with different English houses for the pur pose, and were left at the custom-house until an oppor tunity occurred for their being made available. He also mentions that the returned emigrants have been annoy ing the Sitig a good deal lately by going about declaring their refusal of the amnesty. " The King," they say, "ilab amnestied us, but we will not be amnestied," and he w i n ds up by saying that a beggar who cried " Viva el Re," the other day on receiving alms, from his Majesty, was poignarded on the spot. There are rumours of an _insurrectionary reaction having broken out in Sicily, but I do not attach much credit to them. Coolnel Bixio is said tohave caused several of the insurgents to be shot. The cause of the move ment is alleged to be due to the feelings of jealousy which are caused by the course which has been followed of placing all the chief offices of trust and emolument in the hand of volunteers, which even M. Depretis great weight and influence cannot counteract. The accounts of Garibaldi's movements continue to be contradictory ; but I doubt not we shall now very shortly, have all the co ntradictions cleared up. There appears to be a very confident feeling entertained both by the Garibaldians themselves, and by the Piedmontese, that if the events which are now so rapidly hastening the downfall of the Neapolitan dynasty, should result in bringing on ~ war between S ar di n i a an d A us t r i a , • the victor ,of soiforino and of Magenta will, somehow or other, find an excuse for coming to the aid of the former. Letters from Rome state that the Pope still refuses to recognise the appointment by the French Government of the Abbe Moret, as Bishop of Vannes, which shows that the rapproehenzent between the Emneror and his Holiness, in spiritual matters at all events, is by no means so complete as is sought to be represented in some quarters. There seems to be no end to the number of pamph lets on the two great subjects of Italy and the East, but there is only one, " Naples and Piedmont " which engages any considerable amount of attention, and that arises not so much from its literary merits, which are small, as from its being regarded as a Muratist mani festo emanating from interested parties'. The Government is only half satisfied with the result of the eleetioris. ' The official list has not gone down so generally as was hoped, and it is remarked that an enormous number of the electors have abstained from voting. In certain districts of Brittany the shortness of the notice given of the day on which the election was to take place--in some cases three days—is greatly complained of. A number of the mayors have been elected, notwithstanding the prohibition to the contrary but only a few of them have refused to accept tlif nomination. Prince Napoleon and his wife have returned from Switzerland, and proceeded to Cherbourg. It appears that His Royal Highness is not to be allowed to pre side at the Council of Ministers in the absence of the Emperor, and that Marshal Vaillant is to exercise these functions as Governor and Imperial Prince. The Emperor and Empress left St. Cloud yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. There was no fuss previous to their departure, and the train started for the south a few minutes after the arrival of the Imperial party at the station. It is the " Tage," not M. Tage, as I was made to say in one of my recent letter, which is to replace the Evlau, which has come from Naples to form part of the escorting squadron, of which the famous steel-plated frigate La Gloire is to form one, the Emperor being anxious to avail himself of so favourable an opportunity of testing her speedy and nautical qualifications. In the cause celebre of the Marquis de Vilette, to, which I some time ago alluded, the Tribunal of Clermont has given judgment in favour of the Bishop, but of course there will be an appeal. 1 shall endeavour to let you have some further particulars. There was a little animation visible on the Bourse yesterday, which was displayed chiefly in form of Rentes, which showed a considerable tendency towards improvement. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH IkIAI3;iETIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE. PARIS, Aug. 24. The -lloniteur contains a decree ordering the establishment of a port at Thonon, on Lake Leman, and the improvement of the already' existing port of Eoian, on the same lake. The news published in some of the German papers that the Emperor _Napoleon has proposed a congress for the settlement of the affairs of Italy is totally unfounded. M. Millon polled 19,000 votes, against 7,000 by the Government candidate, at the election at Nancy for the Corps Legislatif. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, August 24, 3.40 p.m. Although the Bourse has been active, yester day's improved quotations have been firmly maintained. Rentes close 68f. Lie., or same as yesterday. NAPLES. NAPLES, Aug. 21. The Royal Intendant of Potenza is at the head of the insurreetion in the Province of Basilicata. Four thousand Calabrian insurgants reinforced the Garibaldians during their attack on the town of Reggio. The chiefs of the National Guard of Naples have tendered their resignation on account of the foreign battalion not having been dis banded. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, August 24. For several days the ministers have been sit ting in council almost without interruption, as before the end of the month they will be sum moned by the Council of the Empire to pro nounce a categorical decision on the political re-organisation of the monarchy. Fears are entertained that the Government may grant but insufficient means of reform, in which case the Hungarian delegates have firmly resolved upon immediately quitting the Council of the Empire. Hungary has till now being perfectly tranquil, in expectation of the result of the deliberations of the Council of the Empire, but should the hopes of the Liberal party be disappointed, refusal of the payment of the taxes may be expected in Hungary. Many Hungarian refugees staying in Wallachia, are engaged in spreading revolutionary propaganda. In addition to other military measures of precaution, the Government has already assembled fifteen cavalry regiment& under the command of General Benedek. PARIS, August 24. Prince Metternich leaves Paris to-day. It is asserted that he has failed to obtain any assurance that France would not interfere in the event of a renewal of the war. A Vienna. letter states that a special messenger had arrived there from Rome, bringing an auto graph letter from the Pope to the Emperor Francis Joseph. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. BERLIN, August 24. Notwithstanding that during the conference at Tceplitz an understanding was in principle brought about on all pending questions, it is cer tain that the realisation. of th© alliance between Austria and Prussia will entirely depend upon the political reforms which are to be effected in Aus tria. The Prince Regent expressly declared to the Emperor that Austria, since 1850, had been com mitting a positive infraction of the Federal Act, which distinctly states that all tho states of the German Confederation shall receive a Constitu tion on the representative system, and that until Austria enters upon the path of constitutional reform. there can be no hope of a real and dura ble alliance. MONTENEGRO. TRIESTE, August 24. The new Prince of Montenegro has deprived the Bishop of Montenegro of office, on account of his having, at the burial of the late Prince Danielo, left the funeral procession before the con clusion of the ceremony. The Bishop alleged a sudden indisposition as an excise. Nikizzi refused however to accept this exult:lei and ordered The prelate to quit the country immediately. the Russian Consul intervened in his behalf, as the bishop reported to be the chief of the Russian party. The great agitation prevailing in Montenegro is especially caused by the struggle between the French and Russian par ties who divide the country. CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.
