FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ITALY. Olibat. OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MILAN, Sept. 28. In my letter of the 21st instant I informed • your readers of the extraordinary convocation of the Piedmontese Parliament for the 2nd of Octo ber, in order to take 'the vote of the representa tives of the 'kingdom in respect to the late and 'future policy of the Government, as well as to 'demand of the Assembly its confidence and sup , port in the policy to 'be adopted by the Ministry, especially as regards the Papal States, the Nea politan Kingdom, and Venice. Although this last province may. not be formally brought before • the Chamber of Deputies, there can bo no doubt that Cavour will be guided in Ms future policy towards Austria by the feeling that will be dis played by the representatives of the people. There has been some talk that Ratazzi was beating up his party in order to Combat or impose some modifications in the Preteßt policy of the Government, and that h large number of the deputies were resolved to support the ex- Minister. But within the last few days I have been assured that Ratazzi has determined upon this occasion to abstain from all opposition; owin g le the existing` political position of affairs. This assurante puts a stop to a rumour that has been spread in every part of the city, that a change of Ministry was almost certain to take place in'! 'refdrence to the affairs of Naples, and the general 1! stspicion that is here enteetained. of Cavoids 'nfrong Napoleonic tendencies. It seerhs, hoWeVer, to be the general feeling hot 'to 'offer the least `opposition to the Ministers, but 'rather to support them in a bold; IbileSt, Unct forward policy in matter -Whom. they Will have to affront. It is high time that this should be the general wha sincere fee:/ing of all Italy, and once for all ut an end those bitter dissensions which have •edticeti r for centuries to the cruel despotism 'Of atrilgers. However disposed I may be that ate present meeting of the Assembly should. not , be distu:::bed by any angry or bitter discussions, or that the slightest doubt or suspicion should be thrown upon the President of the Ministry, ;Still W 3 there is something more than a flying repoit soing•abont that the present withdrawal of the .ambassahrs at Turin and Paris is a tnel.e i - ase, it 48 Itteettsary that this political fog snould be (cleared away, so that the ,peopit knight see what Is going on in the distance, borne persons go so far as to insinuate that the apparent difference between Cavour and. Garibaldi is a mere sham, in • order to enable the latter the more easily to tarry out his " programme," and that General Goyon is cunningly paving the way for the flight of the Pope, so as to leave the coast Clear for the realisa tion of Garibaldi's idea, 'all of which is only another French prelude to the further annexation to that empire sti.f the islands of Sardinia and Elba. The French and semi-official organs of the Cavorian Ministry may indignantly deny this rumour, but unfortunately we have already had a painful experience .of the faith that is to be reposed in such assertions. The formal and posi tive denial of the official Gazette is not sufficient to remove the fear that Cavour is again truckling with the Government of Louis Napoleon. To dispel this painful doubt that the dignity and interests of the Italian Kingdom are not to be eae'itficed •to the cunning and secret diplomacy o.f France the independent representatives of the people, must not shrink' from their duty to de mand of the minister who is at the helm of the nation, whether for the acquisition of the two Sicilies, the Marches and Umbria, Italy is to hand Over to France the islands of Aardinia and Elba But even should they hear from the lips of Cavour the solemn assurances that it is not the intention of the government of Victor Emmanuel, to cede another inch of Italian soil to any power ; have we not still ringing in our ears a similar assurance from the same minister, who declared 'that not even th e re d em pti on o f Venice should induce him to surrender a palm of the ancient territory of the Sardinian crown ; nevertheless Italy was obliged to, give up Savoy and Nice. It is not unfrequently that one hears—ls Piedmont tunfettered in her will, or mistress of herself, or is , site 'still in. her leading strings to be pulled about and 'turned right or left according to the 'caprice and ambition of France This is a ques tion which the nation has a right to ask, and to which Victor Emmanuel and his minister Cavour are bound to give a cleat and explicit answer. Our latest news from Naples is of the same character as described in my last letter, and if I am to believe .a private communication that has just been handed to me, it seem that the position of affairs is every day going from bad to worse, Garibaldi having blindly thrown himself into the hands of the Mazzinian clique, who may now be said to be the governing party of the two, Sitilies. A report 'was current at Naples that the new ministry would be composed of the following avowed republicans, which if appointed would be tantamount to replaciag the Red Republican flag for that of the Cross of Savoy. The names are-- Zuppetta, Libertini, Matina, Petrbccelli, De Boni, Mignona, and others, the mere mention of which has excited the greatest alarm among the citizens who clearly see that Naples is daily approaching that crisis which has been so long feared, and so much done to save themselves from civil war and anarchy, but which, now seems almost inevitable, especially should Garibaldi persist in his present policy and permit himself to be influenced by the republicans that are daily flocking to Naples. All the chiefs of the revolutionary or republican party, that is to say, Mazzini, Ledru Rollin, and Victor Hugo, are now at Naples and have had several interviews with the Dictator. It is reported by the Nomade of Naples, that Garibaldi wished to publicly present Mazzini, to the Nea politans, but this Arch-republican declined the honour, by saying that it was his determination to abstain from taking any part in the present Apoventent; but who is nevertheless secretly 'waking against the party who desire the inuriediate annexation to Piedmont. The same teurnal reports that a few evenings ago at the ~Theatre Nuovo, there were several cries of Viva In the streets of Naples it is not un common to hear Viva Garibaldi ! Morte a Gari baldi! Viva it Re ! Which are generally the character of the cries that precede more serious demonstrations. A letter this moment received from a friend at Naples informs me that there is a rumour in the city that Cattaneo or Crispi will be named pro-Dictator, and that Conforti, who has been charged to form a new ministry, will select the following :—Seliceti, Ventimiglia, De • Santis, Bianco, and Cosenz. The same letter con - firms my suspicions of "grave perdite," sustained by General Eber, which as I stated in my last, letter I invariably read, instead of " a severe loss, a complete defeat." It appears from the few lines contained in my note, which are worth all the columns of exaggeration that we have eon- tinually brought before our eyes, that Generals Turr and Eber, with about 6,000 men, attacked the Royal troops at Capua, and, afters desperate fight, succeeded in taking Cajazzo, becoming Masters of the right banks of the Volturno and the heights cummanding the town. On the fol lowing day the Royal troops did not wait to be attacked by the Garibaldini, but advance the the utmost order, and at the cry of " Viva • attacked the troops under the command of the • Dictator himself with such impetuosity that, after an . obstinate resistance ; Garibaldi was drive n from his position gained - the day before, leaving a great number of killed and wounded upon the field. This is the first victory gained by the Royal troops, and the importance and courage that this turn of fortune will have upon the Neapolitan troops may prove very serious to Garibaldi. Nearly all the journals this morning cry out, " Send at once all the force that Gari baldi possesses against these traitors.' Send every description of besieging materials, bombs, mortars, &c., &c., and at once lay waste to Capua and Gaeta senza misericordia (without mercy)." These are the men who denounce with horror the cruelties of the Bourbons, and stigmatise, as traitors ' the officers and men that still remain faithful to Francis 11. The number of Royal troops now at Capua and Gaeta is supposed to be not less than 60,000 men, who are in the most . perfect state of discipline, and influenced by the best sentiments towards their commanders and the cause of their Sovereign. There can be no doubt that should this corps remain united,, and the Generals display some military ability in the defence of their position, Garibaldi will find that it is a t this point that the most stubborn, part of his undertaking will commence. Our news from Sicily is that the island is in the same agitated State as before, and that Garibaldi's last proclama tion has not produced the slightest effect upon the • People, the cry is being even more general than • ever for annexation. A deputation of some of the most influential Sicilians, is expected to tflorrow at Turin, in order to present their homage to the King and declare to his Majesty the sincere • devotion of the Sicilians towards their Sovereign. t is clear that the Sicilians are a very long thinking people, it being now nearly five months since they declared for " Vittorio Emmanuele." -A londini, the new Pro-Dictator of Sicily, like his Predecessors, has inaugurated' his acceptance of this office with the usual grandiloquent proclama tion, and composed his Ministry as follows : v i,rajno. Foreign Affairs and Commerce; Fabrizu, Parizi, Interior ; Fanche, Marine ; Perama, Finance • Scrofuni, Justice ; Tamajo, P u bli c ecurity Ugdulena; Instruction . ) Orlando, P u bli c • Ministeri and Calvino, Chief Secretary of th e of War. This is the composition of the loamy Minist eries th a t h ave b een named f or t hi s Isl and 'thin the last five months, and whose existence will scarcely pass over 20 or 25 days. Preparations are being made at Florence for the reception of Victor Emmanuel, .where he will re main for a few da - vs, and then proceed to Bologna. Some peopl e s a y that hi s Majesty will visit the newly -conquered provinces, but this I do not be lieve. The King will be accompanied by the Minister of the Interior, Cavaliere Farini. The Patrie, of the 25th instant, states that a corps of 5,000.- men of the Sardinian army are abort to • leave Leghorn for Sicily, when the people will immediately declare for the annexation. This I believe to be one of the many ireVentioils of the same journal. Our great races 0a1t.6 off last week, and Certainly it was the d'ullesti: affair I was ever at in my life. The • only thing that assured me that I was not at an open-air prayer meeting was on looking, around me and seeing the Cannibal-like manner in which the . legs and wings of roast and boiled fowls were torn asunder, and the occasional pop of a bottle of Ohio spantanle (something like our gooseberry iviUe). The Italian lions may ape , oar dashing Derby, Newmarket, and Doncaster 'vette blood, wear narrow brinimed bats, light trowsers, blue and bird's-eye neckharidkerehiefs, spurs, and„carry a whip,' big deileelk haw could you find iii, their . stables; and those whose incomes would permit theni to keep a respectable stud, prefer CO grow grand twice ;than :turn their fields iato paddocks for the breeding of first-rate horses, which would be a manly atrupement to thonselves, and a great advantage to the country. NAPLES► A letter from Naples, dated the 25th ult., states the The hope that was entertained by' Francis 11. of being able to operate a junction between his troops and those of the Pope, has died away, and. the Dictator expects that the Royal troops will no longer prolong-what must be henceforth a useless strife. The situation of the inhabitants of Capua has become so painffil, owing to the Want, Of pro viSions., that the Dictator,: movedl 4 vitli ,pity, has sent therh,.it is asserted, thirty ,thatisand rations for three : days. The position 'of 6ajazzo,' above Capita, *filch had be"ari re-taken by, the Royal troops, has been : occupied since Saturday by the virliteteers of Garibaldi. The two younc , brothers .of the King, the Counts de Trani and de Caserto, who were at Capua, encouraging the soldiers' to defend themselves to the utmost, left that fortress, it is said, as soon as they learnt that General Lamoriciere had been obliged to take ,refuge 'Ancona. For several days, the.police . have been engaged in ferreting oUt the elerical and reactionary plots against the Dictator. Com mander Stanisias, of Alas, was arrested yesterday: The lottery,which brought in I , ,too,ooo : ducao, has been abolished, besides other - soirees off' revenue, to the &Mona in all of 6M0,000, or £1,080,000, thereby causing a ileficit of 4,000,000 ducats. It is "While that the lottery system shoUld still be i•ete.ttlett in Turin, after ten years of constitutional a government. • Another letter from . . Naples, of tA6 ';' - sithie date, gives the text Of the additgS of the Neapolitan deputation to ViCttr Emmanuel - , which is as follows Silte,:-:-You are our King. We have elected. you in a Whisper in our secret meetings ; we have hailed you in that capacity in our public places ; we have proclaimed you with armed insurrections. And the Dictator Gui seppe Garibaldi, whose loyalty. of soul is equal:to his valour, and whose valour is equal to his fortune ; made his entree into Naples, pronouncing as his iltst Words, " Victor Emmanuel and his descendants fe your Kings and the Kings of , • Sire,—Why should We be the last - ot the Italians to receive you, to lite you in the heart of the Country'? Why should we be the 'last to enjoy, the benellt:s 4f government in which all the Princitles nf libeitY, eier, progress, and of the flit re -which afe. summed up in your narae,,are the rule and the guarantee of the political direction Of the State > ' ! We, Neapolitans, we wish you to Come to Naples 'to consecrate Italian unity, and to restore neace and tranquillity to the kingdom. We wish those brave men who have defended you and Italy at Palestro and San Martino, to embrace, in this place, those valiant youths, who, disembarking in small mull bers at Marsala, have freed, with the aid of the tants, the most faithful, - and not the iinst beautiful fifty one provinces of your kingdoth, in order that we all, guided by your wisdom, may go from hence,'accompanied by the strength of your arm, the science of your gene rals, the bravery and the genius of Garibaldi, and over throw the remainder of the enemies of Italy and thus crown the work of her redemption. The writer also mentions that the foreigners resi dent in Naples have likewise forwarded a petitfon to the King, , entreating him to come. He adds that "Mazzini has just broke the silence and published in the Iride a long justification, Which nobody asked from hint, anti it pathetic promise not to incommode the Italian movement. Why did he not remain Where he was, in London ? The Whole a the N'eapolitans are at this moment violently agitated by their endeavours to.connter !tot the fatal influence of this mangy who has been forced into intimate relations with the Dictator, by M. Bertami. The municipal authorities went yesterday as far 6.s Caserto to remonstrate with Garibaldi, tntreating him to keep his Ministry, and to prevent the frightful catastrophes which are threatening the country. Garibaldi received the deputation very well, and tl'SsUred them very much by his energetic protestations in favour of the monarchical ptiticiple. Moreover, the arrival of the Piedinontese is looked for with much anxiety. They are already on the frontiers, and are invited by the Dictator himself—so it is re ported. There is nothing new from Capua. The siege works continue, and' it 'is' 'thought that, a summons will be sent to .the town to surrender 'before the batteries open fire. Although the; in vestiture is not entirely completed, it is hoped that it will Surrender without having to be forced. 'to do so by the Are of the bombs. 0-EgtliA.L 805e0. , --A friend of the • General's writes to the Gazette du 2111di, to explain the cause of his arrival in France, and his absence from Gaeta at the present moment. He sayp :—" Deprived of the rein forcements which he was entitled to rely upon receiving at ;Milazzo after his brilliant defence, the brave was obliged to capitulate, and in order Obtain the most favourable conditions for his troops, he had no alternative but to promise not to participate for three months either in military operations or in military deliberation& Garibaldi proved by this what a high estimate he had formed of the valour of his adversary, and by contenting himself with his word of honour not to serf e, he rendered homage also to his honourable character. On his return to Naples, General Bosco acquainted the Sing with all that bad passed., .11is Majesty hesitated not in the least to say that a soldier must adhere to an engagement of this kind, and there 7 fore•it was an entire mistake to state that a new Conithand had been conferred upon the general, and accepted' by him. After the entry of the Dictator into Naples, Bosco remained there without any Slispicion, but •in 'conse quence of the reactionary symptoms which subsequently manifested themselves, Garibaldi deemed it to be his duty tolorwarel to the general his passports. The .King, who continues to repose the utmost confidence in him, did not wish, until the expiration of three months, to have him near his person, but at the end of that time, the general will return to him. INSPECTION OF THE 45TH, 66TH, AND 69TH RIFLES. Last evening, a most pleasing sight was Witnessed at the Corn Exchange, Brunswick-street, and attracted a considerable amount of interest. It was the inspection of three companies of the rifle volunteers, which are to form part of the first battalion, by Major Buchanan, the government district inspector, who has come to reside in Liverpool as successor to Major Harman, who has been appointed to the York district. The companies inspected last night were one of the 45th, under the command of Capt. T. H. Bowen and Lieut. F. N. Promeli ; one of the 66th (the Borough Guard), under Capt. liayer and -Lieut. Jacob Barmy; and one of the 69th, commanded by Captain Tristram and Ensign Archer. About seven o'clock the various companies assembled in the above spacious building, and they are certainly deserving of every encomium for their neat and soldier-like appearance. Colonel Bousfield and :Captain Robertson, of the Ist Lancashire Rifles, with officers connected with several other companies, were also present, the first - named officer giving the word of command and putting the men through their exercise's, which they performed, considering the short time the companies have been formed, with tlie greatest exactitud e a nd precision, affording proof that the right stamina was there to make a good and fine body of soldiers. They were afterwards formed into a square, and the officers having been called to 'the front, they were briefly addressed by Major Baeannan in a few general remarks. He first offered some advice as to the appointment of their officers, and said that w hen foreigners were talking, about the movement, they said it would be a failure through the: insufficiency of the officers. He was far from saying, that such would now be the case with regard to the companies then before him, but he strongly adviced that all such ground of .complaint should be avoided. He next addressed the volunteers on the propriety of their appearing in the street et ha t d hey come w eul to d re t s a i k d e e either in full unif orm, or with none—not half-an d -half ; let e it eg b s e t o t n b e em th , inangdorb tehediod hope ther. H that advantage of his being here, and avail themselves of the long experience he had bad in the regular army, and any advice and assistance he could give, he should be most happy to afford them. He assured them that the regular army looked with pride and pleasure upon the movement, and would do all in its power to see it successfully, be successfully carried out. He hoped they would go on grea test attention to their drill. Hes pay h happy the e to attend the drills, for he could assure them that in a rifleman, position was every thing. Let them be well up in the three positions, and they would be good marksmen. They had most excellent rifles, he had examined them, and they must recollect that if they were not good marksmen, it was no fault of the rifle, but their own. From the prizes that were offered at the different matches some of them large pieces of plate,—thera was every inducement for them to become good marksmen, and he could only re p eat, if they did not succee d in becoming such, the fault rested with thems e l ves and not with the rifle.lle concluded by complimenting the men on their efficiency and good discipline. Three hearty cheers were given for the retired,gallant M n a d j or the and companiesfo r returned Bousfi e t l d e , their .w'ho respective n ec a t f i t v e e r storehouses in rn arching order.

The bullet, a ft er go i ng t h rough the unfortunate man's body, entered the breast of his comrade, Corporal Coles, passed through his body, and fell flattened against the. wall. Both men died in a few minutes. The cause alleged for this crime is that the murderer had been sentenced to three days' confinement to barracks for insubordination, both the deceased having appeared against THE ROAD CHILD MURDER. At Trowbridge yesterday Elizabeth Gough, late nurse maid in the service of Mr. Kent, was placed at the bar, charged with the murder of Frances Saville Kent. Mr. Saunders, in his opening statements for the prosecution, felt bOund most entirely to exculpate Miss Constance .Kent.. He then recapitulated the facts already known, and adduced others obtained during the recent inquiry.

Mr. George Harrison presided at the monthly meeting of this board yesterday, and the other members present were Messrs. Peck, Cook, Bradley, Menzies, Evans, Gill, Whittle, Milnes, Walker , Baylis , and Willoughby'. The minutes of the Health Committee were read and confirmed, as were also the proceedings or the Anance 'Committee; the laud ineinded a recommendation to raise the salary of Mr. Curry to £l3O per annum. Prom the proceedings of the Ferry Committee it appeared that the receipts between the 24th April and the 30th September in the year 1859, amounted to £14,282 6s. 9d., and the expenditure in the same period was £9,978 17s. Id. • in the same period of 1860, th e receipts were £13,891 155., and the expenditure £B,Bll is. 10d. The CHAIRMAN said they would observe a diXer enee of .£1,4300 between the expenditure in the year 1869 over the year 1860. This, however, Was only apparent, and was in consequence of the payments being now made half yearly, instead of quarterly as before. The actual working expenses of the ferry were about the same. Dr. BAYLIS said a boat was lately put on, the cabin of which was filled with sailors' bedding. This was a great inconvenience, as many delicate persons crossed by the boat, and wished to use the cabin.. A friend of his own had caught a severe cold by remaining on deck, and it would be well if such things were seen to. The CHAIRMAN stated that the Ferry Committee were always glad to receive suggestions of useful kind, and this would be attended to; but he thought the gentlemen must have gone into th wrong cabin. The proceedings were then confirmed. The minutes of the Gas and Water • Committee included a recommendation to light twenty-seven lamps at Bebington. A discussion took place as to the payment of the £5OO, which was the expenses of the committee for the surveying department. It was stated, however, that the matter was still in suspense, and the conversation then dropped. The minutes were confirmed. The minutes of the Special Committee on street railways stated that at the meeting of the committee it was agreed that Mr. Train should take up one of the tracks in Conway-street, within six months from thi s date. That an ex t ens ion of this I present street railway shall be made as follows :—A line from the Post-office along Claughton-road, Park-road, south, and up Palin-grove to its junction with Devon shire-road, and a line having a Junction with the last mentioned one in Park-road south, along . Park-road east, to be connected with other existing lines in Conway street. That the present track in Chester -street may be caried into Church -street for a length ,not exceeding 40 yards, and that the track may be carried front Hamilton-street, through Bridge-street, to Argyle street. That the several new lines above mentioned be immediately laid down and maintained in the same terms and conditions in all respects as are contained in. the -agreement between Mr. Train and the commissioners, with reference to street railways. Dr. BAYLIS said they had some experience of this r ailway in Birkenhead, and it had gone to show that in fottirei for all the great traffic, they would supersede the ordinarf *des .df Cotteyanee, Under those circuin aalice.:likAgdOit.the .cbrainitted. glicaild take d mileh larger view cif it thii.n . fie'y had,done. Tho'y sbotilci see what lines will be required in AiliErilviA rtec6 . o.*s' did anything more they should have a rctiort froin the engineer as to what lines would be required in the township, for it was quite certain that they could not have all „their roads cut up in this way, and also that every line would require a return line, They would require a line to Oxton dicid diatlghtol; 00 _mother to Rock Ferry; they mist have three Hiles: The liitt for OXton and Clangliten shoiild go as straight ds po'stibie front the Ferry' ' and they were Sanction* dildthef ,61ie in order to get a little nearer t o ' the P a ik . H e did not think this right, and ho .would inove that the committee recdnsider their Oans; and that they be prepared upon the _reiiort 'of the sor4eyOr to el ovi what lines would . Ultimately he . reqnired in the iielt The Clallt3iAl4 said that Dr. Railis's vieivd had hien in a great measure under the Consideration of the hoard. Many of .the 9actsijieWeipt . -, were nut Under the direction Of the ednimissiono;. 12u under pr L iat e ind4ricluals. Thativas th 6 reason they hrid aowqd the route men tioned. Still, as regarded Nb* 1 4 110 ton and those townships, it was for them to come to the C;dimlisioners in the first instance. He would further say that at the next meeting of the commissioners, a general plan of the Street Railways would be submitted to the board. • Dr. BAYLIS said it was a pity that a triangular line should be made if it could be avoided. He would like to know also what the extension into Church-street was for. Oft-Aiwa)t replied that it MIS merely to give More f•oitri.ifthe ,tither; trek did not happen to be clear. Mr. MENziEs said it wdg stfatejA4t a . nt pgtshotild be carried into effect if the *hole oar./ i7as ,shertly to come before the board. Mr. Coox seconded Mr. Baylis's proposal, and thought that the least which could be done was to postpone the subject for a month. The CHAIRMAN said he had suggested what was now being carried out. They could keep the road down in Conway-street, and the commissioners were willing' to extend the line, but they wanted the materials which were down there. If Mr. Cook thought these railways a nniSatiCe,.. niaily Were riot of that opinion, and the comfort of iti6Atjoritf, shotild lie look,ed to. Mr. COOK understood ttia Tigird at the last meeting decided that the subject shock V 6 b'Ogitiorted for at least six months. The CHAIRMAN said he had himself consulted Mr. Laird, and that gentleman quite approved of the pre sent plan. Dr. Baylis's motion (which was an amendment upon the motion for the passing of the minutes) was then put and carried. Mr. Coox asked whether the police had instructions to preterit the boys crowding round the omnibuses. As these omnibuses *ere a ne* thing ; rid it 'Were in of theni and some were agailit them; butti be did iidt' think it *Old he right for any ; disliardgerilents .Of this kiiid to' attach to Mr. Train's plan, ajid. if the poll& . hdd lristitietions to interfere, ode - elnisiderable objeetion Would lie removed. lie Pd.: police li ' are iiiitructioliScio inter fere to iire3ent , boys croWding.i,o.y4 the 'buses. A member of the Watell eamnittee, said „that there were only twenty-eight polide oflicefg pet day; .and, they had to look after abOut 186 public-houses. 11 6 stiould think it would be more practicable for the guards of the 'buses to give the offenders in charge.l The proceedings of the Library Committee were next confirmed ; after which the Secretary Stated that they had received the opinion of counsel upon the extent of their liability by adopting certain clauses of the Local G o v ern ment Act. The parts which have been adopted • of part 4; and parts . 1 4 2 ; 3, and 4 of see. 34. It wa§ i §tated that, the adoption of these clauses NVpuld not the df Tfehsitiy: This concluded the business.

There las a very fair house at this theatre last night, and'the audience had, the satisfaction of witnessing a most stiperidr and stieeedstid representation; pf, a new and very striking tragic play. Mr. Neafle' the Cha racter of Yawn*, gave additional proof of his claim to rank high as an actor of tragedy; but his tone of voice is hardly on a par with his acting. Miss Laura Gray, as Eleanor, obtained a fresh wreath to her rapidly advancing fame ; and Mr. J. C. Cowper, as the unsuc cessful and defeated rival of Valmonde appropriated a large share of the applause which •saluted the fall of the 4tirtain: , o rliere.fer i e land G alls fur him after Mr. Neafle Mies I, Liai had tivie'd Meit ,acknowleg ments • and when he appeared b' to respond id thetii, he received abundant proofs of the great popularity which he has justly earned at this theatre. , THE -MANCHESTER COMPANY AT THE THEATRE ROYAL. We can assure the brilliaat audience attracted to the Philharmonic Hall this evening., that they missed a treat Of rid ordinary kind, by tieing abs e nt from the Theatre*here the eoitipariy - front the Theatre Royal,,Manetiester; eorrinienced n short engagement of sii nights thilY. The thrilling rind •rditirilitid• dtania' Of "Faust and Marguerite," was last night performed in ft Stile and with a degree of effect and faithfulness that we have never anywhere seen surpassed; every member of the company exerting themselves to the uttermost,. all being thoroughly up to their respeetive roles, and what is more, all being thoroughly interested in them. The Mephistopheles of Mr. Charles Calvert was really a wonderful conception,—accurate, terrifying, and demo niacal: We have frequently seen Herr Formes in Robert la :Vial4, AO a ithrellous representation it Ittas, but the acting of Mr. CalVeit in this; to, a. large eitent kindred character, offers (Otte its Many to ort_r adrifiration. Mr. H. Irving was rather too tall to perMit of htiitic cessfully realising the popular idea of a learned doctor, and there was not the least of an alchymist—which we certainly think there- ought to have been—about his appearance. He offered a very truthful picture of a "spooney" youth who was ready to die, and something more, for the object of his passion , but the p ortrai t failed to recall the original; .and the consequence was, that It hen . he ," wNit below," mnbh moraof our pity folloWed him than the tiiitlidr intended hi shodld receive. The Marguerite of Miss Angel, who is ail extremely interesting and ladylike young actress, was a piece of acting, charming for its simplicity, and remarkable for the absence of anything like exaggeration. The open ing part of the second act, where she appears seated at her-distaff in the midst of her flower-garden—the temp tation scene—and the interview which follows with FaUst, who accomplishes her fall by the aid of a casket of diamonds, which are giten him for' the purpose, by the fiend, afforded party favontable orpoitiinities for the dispiq ofr her ieti,con,sidernble Histrionic ; and she availed litiself Of ilient ,thiongliont the p'erform ance in a way that sedlifed dpi iroval of the audience. Mrs. Raymond, as _Arnie Mariho, the attendant af Marguerite, would have been grea tly missed had the droll requisites of the part not been so admirably supplied by her very spirited and laughter-provoking representation of it. Siebel, a pupil of Faust, and the original lover of Marguerite; was very happily and successfully represented by. Mr. Ererill; rind the. Valentine Pargnerite's brother) of Mr. S. F. Sinclair could ndt haie fddild many better representatives. The combat between hireand .Parisi, the latter heir).g aided by the fiend, was as pretty a piece of stage fencing as we have seen for a long time ; and the thrilling death scene of Valentine—slain by his opponent, owing to the demon striking up his sword arm when he *as about to parry a terrific lounge from the unnaturally strengthened arm of Faust, as he died cursing his unhappy sister as the douse of his death, and uttering, in allusion to her shame, the words, "Thank God, my mother's dead," was a singular and highly men. torious piece of acting. It would be unpardonable to omit to state that the mist en scene of the piece was extremely fine. Marguerite, as seen in the attitude of a penitent kneeling at the altar of one of the Lady chapels of the cathedral whilst Mepltisto pheles stands without, grinding his teeth with bafiledral.v,e; and, the ascension of Marguerite whose repentance has been accepted, though perhaps open to objection in the minds of some, on the ground of its mimicking a theme which sacred history has made its own—was, in a scenic point of view, extremely successful. The 4. & swim , Averno" of Faust and his Familiar, was not effected quite so easily, as the Proverb demands,•but this was owing me rely to a slight derangement in the machinery of th e v ehicle in which the downward move was effected. We cordially congratulate the enterprising manager on the success of this most interesting drama, which has not been previously brought forward, either at the Theatre Royal or at the Amphitheatre, and we have no doubt the•merits of the piece, as well as the exertions of Mr. Copeland in putting it on the stage, will be de servedly appreciated by the public. It will be noticed that the performances of this talented company will alternate during the eveniro* . of this week and the preSent with those of the • Italian artistes.

SUSPICIOUS CHILD DEATH AT BIRKENHEAD.—An inquest was held yesterday at the Market Inn, Birken head, before Mr. Churton, the coroner, on the body of a child found in a field at Bebington. Wm. B oston, a stable man at the Woodside yard, deposed that he found the body on the morning of 'fuesday, the 25th of Sep tember, in a field between Bridg e-street and Don -street. Dr. Vale stated that he hatl made a post mortent exami nation on the body, and believed the child to have been born alive ; he was unable to g ive an o pinion as to the . cause of death. Under these c ircu mstances the jury found a verdict to the effect that the child was horn, alive, but there was no evidence to show the cause o f death.

Mr. Theodore Rathhone expressed his gfeat fegfee at having been unable to be present at the imPortfintdisek- sion the previous day of the causes of a death rate in Liverpool, still so much higher than, in the opinion of the Registfet , Gerteral and the administrators of the Govern ment Vepatfitient of health, it ought to be, and said that Odd caVs6 o this • *Well did not appe ar t o h ave b een notided,i4dcdbtetilk Was the . still Comparatively limited and imperfect registraVOW of the Contrion /ridging- houses, and notwithstanding the ileillitispbliant p)ron , ress within the lastfew months towards more eittikTM gem t ut as well as towards more perfect registratidh Tklitst cenails stated that of 213,767 persons of 20 years of lige and up Wards, p,:f slept within the limits of the borough on! the night of the Well of March, 1851, only 48,298 were natives of the town' the Liverpool medical !officer has recorded in (Air ' Tratiattiddl that, whilst the rate 01 7 ~mi inmates of lid si b et e 6d en about common lodging poises N : ias searcell,lt in I',ooo, and that in the most denselyikoPied parts t or the town, in these not a single case of fever lidd duVing the year. So that of the peculiarly large nuintief of persons who in Liverpool reside in what are in law strictly Com mon lodging houses, but which are still, after all the recent additions, very largely unregistered, the death rate of these unfortunate victims is greatly more than double *hat it ought to be, and long since would have been,.if the public lodging house acts of 1851 and 1853 veachfily and Uniformly brought into operation, as they Were' Veins the first hi districts immediately adjoining. Mr. Rathbone then said—j rig?et: that absence of the president of this association at its lad iiibethig, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and of the then prefiderit of this department, who were both present, and took active part with their usual most useful and unfailing interest in the discussion to which I have to refer, and in whose hands I should have much preferred leaving altogether the statements of facts I have to make, obliges me to act on the suggestions made to me in consequence, to take* the first opportunity allowed me, and for which I have to' fßan.l.7en, Mr: President, of making this public statement before tWe' .bthiness of this section commences on this its last duly of Maine, , The facts are of impor tance on public as well as privai6'eoWdsiand especially on sanitary grounds, with reference to ai , e'u Y oiliilg' and general extension of one of the most usertil of din- ails of Parliament. I last year submitted a paper to this department— which was printed at page 596 of our Transactions— "On the great importance of the uniform and general registration of common lodging houses, .and the most effectual means of securing its accomplishment," and had occasion to refer in that paper to the happy and admirable results of the public lodging house acts; where . brought into general and efficient opera tion, d$ both the metropolitan and rural districts in my' oWn ridght - Vorbood, .in converting, in the words of Captain Harris; the assistant commissioner of, the maropolitan "Well . perfect hotbeds of Mseale, . and misery as defied destiption into dwelling's far theii 4foitunate imitates; leaving bale further to be desireilf hninble a i de' pool. as .manT of them are, and to contrast theirr . 01th" the' then state of the common lodging houses of the Wealitiy,. akul, in so' many respects, admirably administered tear of Wen; pool, where, notwithstanding all the noble and costly efforts that have been made with sanitary objects, so many still continued altogether unregistered, and not a single one was or could be properly and efficiently bran* under the ItSeful regulations of these acts.

RATHIJO:St,EIeTOI , : PRIORY. l'rescot, 12th March. 180. • DEAR have just seen with the greatest ourprise; in the report of the Transactions of the Social Science Assoelation for last year, 'a statement, by Mr. M'Gowan, of Liverpool, that you have "insisted upon a cottage rented by a working man and his wife and occupied by them and th.e wile's brother and child only, being registered and treated as a common lodging house, and that you have ma e the people have a board stuck up . outside d Sign, calling it a common l o d g i ng h ouse . en d compelled the inmates to stibmit to the arbitrary visits of the poree.!' This statement, if true, Would. justify Mr. M'Gowan in con sidering the proceedings tyrannical. aad Most unreasonable, but I well know the statement to be wholly untrue. I have, as clerk to the, magistrates, uniformly attended the petty sessions, both at Woollen and Wavertree, since the formation of the .Childwall diyisiori in 1857, and throughout Prescot division since the passing and bringing into operation of the Common Lodging House Acts, and I aver heard of such a case, or any like it, or of your or any other magistrate having interfered in any way whatever with the police in carrying out these acts. In fact, granting, the application to have a hcatse registered as a eommon lndging house is regarded rather as a favour and privilege to householders from the preference given by lodgers to registered houses. In - every — case brought before the magistrates, either at Preseot, St. Helen's, Woolton, or Wavertree, for non-regis tration of houses, supposed by the police to he common lodging houses, the informationshave been invariably dismissed where any doubt has existed whether such houses were in fact within. the plain meaning of the acts of Parliament, i. c., houses in which the inferior class of loduers, strangers to each other, are lodged in a common apartment. These acts work very well, and have produced the most beneficial effects both to lodgers and lodging house keepers in the places I hava mentioned, and the manner in which their provisions are carried out by the police have never keen a subject of complaint at petty sessions by parties summoned before the magistrates for breach of . the regulations.

Rector Campbell took the chair. The other`mhers. present were, Messrs. 0 wens, Scott, Byford, ' S;atcheft, G. Byford, Denten, tairstow, Whitty, Syred, taner", Hand, and Peck. The minutes of the last meeting rare read and con firmed. THE :WORKHOUSE COMMITTEE._ CllLUghWardell SMITH moved the confirmation of the' proceedings of this committee, which have aire'ady been trulatshed. Mr. DENTOV observer/ that he thought the sub-co,m mittee should have repettedi to' th workhouse committee a matter relative to the toticatiorr to the newly ap pointed surgeons before bringir4it btfore the vestry. This wis explained and the proceediyLge were at once confirmed. 1 THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS The minutes of this meeting were read, and amongst aber items was "aniapplication by the Rev. R. Gibson for a fray' to he place in the Roman Catholic Orphanage, Everton Crescent.." ---Allowed, subject to the child being periodically visited by the out-door inspector in com mon with other children tenfing the schools. Mr. WHITTY expressed his deep regret that the Industrial Schools Committee should have adopted such a resolution, th a t th e b oy should be "' periodically . , visited oy the out-door inspector." He stated be had some experience in the institution in which the boy would be placed, and the children there could bear com pair'son', in physical appearanc4 and moral training, with the . childrerr under - the charge of the Vestry. It was proposed to' fake the boy from the care of the Vestry, and place him iu!'n chathable institution, and thus the Vestry would be relieVcd of his maintenance and all responsibility; therefore it would be a relief to the parish, and under such circumstances he thought it was an invidious distinction to stipulate that the inspector should have the power of thrusting himself into a private charity, particularly when the Vestry did not contribute. to the support of the funds, to look after the . child. He expressed a hope that the committee would' re- - consider the stipulation ; and, in conclusion, moved fliht that portion of the proceedings be referred back to the cOrktnittee fOr - re-consideration. In answer to Ilr.. gyred, it was stated that the chil dren placed in Mr. Banner's orphanage from the parish were not inspected periodicagy". Mr. Smith seconded Mr. Whitty'S motion. Mr. BKIRSTOW thought this was au aceptional case, as the children were under the management of a com mittee of gentlemen. Mr. SATCHELL—NO, priests. Mr. BAIRITOW—A number of gentlemen who would 'care for their welt-being, and as the vestry did not con tribhte'anything towards. it, the inspection had no right to be thdk: The inspector was appointed to visit the children that we re' sent out to service, and not to such institutions as these, Pie' also added that Mr. Banner did not take pauper children into . his orphanage. Mr. Wurrry:said - that the citil&en did not go direct as paupers to Mr. Banner's orphanage. Rut when they were there they were clothed, gad the vestry had to pay —sometimes the bill amounted to between £3O and £4O. He could not see the difference. If the parish paid, then the children were paupers. " „ . Mr. PECI4 supported the amendment, on the grounds that as the children were not inspected in Mr.,Banner's orphanage' they had no right to be inspected in the Crescent institution. When the child was taken from the Industrial Schools, the parties taking him became responsible for him, and all the vestry's responsibility was at an end ; but if he was sent back again, then the Vestry would have to resume its responsibility. - Mr. TURNEn thought that the committee had been neglectful of its duty in not having all the children, whether in Mr, Banner's orphanage or any other, visited, as the vestry liad a right to see that all the children were properly cared fol% Mr. WIIITTY expressed a wish that the Industrial Schools Committee would not continually be making such restrictions upon the Roman Catholic ‘ applications, but would act in the same way , towards that religion as they did towards the Protestants. He thought that they should act in union with each other, and not antagonistic. The Rev. Rector CAMPBELL said the vestry should not Ole up the right of visitation • but in such a case as the preset he thought it should be enforced. If he had such a tight, he would not exercise it. If they did not inspect Mr. &river's institution, they should not enforce it in this case ; but evhn in that case, as they contributed to Mr. Banner's institution, and did not towards this, it was clear they had more right to carry it out in the one case than the other. After some further conversation, the board divided, vihea Mr. Whitty's amendment was lost by six voting for it Mid eight against it ; the proceedings were there fore cord/lyre& Tifg ZIC , HTErNTII OF OCTOBER. Mr. DENTON having directed attention to the great display that was to take place on that day, on the open ing of the New Library, suggested that a special meet ing should be called, for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken by the Vestry to show their respect and esteem to the noble donor, Air.

(Before Ittr:- .tFiTELLAIN.) PATRONS OF THE OPERA It:4D THE OPERATORS. Police-officer M'Arthur, No. 573, bratigkt u'p two well-dressed persons, named John Williamson and Lodi& Pollard, on the fotowing charge. Mr. Bluck defended. The off2cer said At &Vert O'clock the previous night I saw the male prisoner at the pit dool' of the Theatre Royal, where there was a crowd of ladies and gentleitsen Coining out from the opera. I saw him take hold of the guard chain of a gentleman's watch, but he did not succeed in getting it. Fie then got between two gen tlemen and tried to put his hand lit their pockets, but he did not succeed there either. I then went intider the passage and saw the female come out between two ladies, and observed her .try to pot her hand into their pockets, but she &lied. I saw die prisoners then join each other, and after speaking they Went to the box door, tried some pockets there, then separated, and run round a cab. I followed them into Great Charlotte,- street, ifild tilen thVongh several streets, and at last, when they saw me, they separated. I Was watching them, and they came up and asked me where Corn-bill was. replied I did not know, and asked if they were strangers, and he replied, yes, quite strangers : only just arrived. I then arrested them. Mr. Bluck Why not before? Because I could' not get them to ; one of them would have got away, as I hat Ile assistance. Mr. Castellain : Did you see them put their hands in anyone's pocket? No, but I saw them try to do so several times. Mr. Black : Did they get a watch or chain ? No, but the' drill tried to get them. Could you tell what sort of watch it was No. Mr. Muck addressed the bench, and contended that the officer Wight have made a mistake, and said he was instructed to say that hits clients were not known to the police. The instruction in this case, so far as the man was concerned, turned otit to' bb incorrect, for' he had been three months in gaol for a sirrtriar offence. He was now sentenced to three months' imprisonment/ and the woman to fourteen days' hard labour. (Before Messrs. CASTELLMA GEOrtGE MELLY and T. EARLE., [The two latter new magistrates sat yesterday for the first time.] A FIGHT ABOUT GARIBALDI. A !toting woman, named Julia Bennett, who had her head bound tip ti rd l'as covered with blood, charged John Cloggef, the keeper of a lgook-stall, (or having flattened her skull with a blow of a smeothingekee, Yrom a mass or evidence, iv appeared that the parties, With EC veral others, live in a court in Crossliall-street, and on Monday' night there was a mato-- illy party in one of the . houses in the emit, and a bucket of ale, along with other drinkables, were provided. In thecourse of the diversion, Garibaldi, the Pope, Napoleon, rietor,Em mantel, and several other eminent and renowned heroes were brought on the carpet. Garibaldi had backers and the Pope had adMirers. Napoleon wawa rascal in the eyes of some, and ' 'others' assertecitllat Vietry Emmanuel was Antichrist. Words went high, and at last the party formed into divisions, and Pitched into each other like it— thunder. The fight raged with various chances of success. The' Pope prevailed at one time, until the Garibaldians forced theirpoeition. Napoleon's forces then came to the rescue, and leathered the Dictator's lines into smithereens. The Sardinian invincibles tried to force the centre of the Irish Brigade, but got into an ambush of tongs and pokers that had been rallied from a flying column of Gokonites. The " Exemsionists " from Copperas-hill, headed by Brigadeeres3 Bridget Duffy, here came on the flank of the French forces, and walloped the Kelly battalion. The conflict lasted long and Was sanguinary; but at last the balance of power erne up in the shape of a few dozen policemen, and after a prolonged Sebastopol in miniature, the battle , was decided. The field was then surveyed, and a strange sight it presented. The girl Bennett was found with her head flattened by a smoothing-iron, which was wielded by the prisoner. John M'Clary was stabled in three places with a scissors, which was the sword of Biday Duffy of Copperas-hill. William CoughY , had his head bent and battered by a tongs, which was mastered by Denis Kelly. These wounded persons were brought to the dispensary, where Dr. Sheppard was in attendance, and he now deposed that the girl had a contused wound, two inches king, on the forehead; down to the bone. M‘Clary was stab bed in a dangerous position in the chest in two places, and another stab in the chin, and Coughly had severe lacerated wounds on the head. He said there were four others wounded, and had their heads dressed, hut they did not now appear to prosecute Anyone. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prisoner Kelly. There were about a dozen witnesses called, and all gave their own version of the affray. There was no doubt that it was a hard fought conflict, but who had the hest of it no one could tell. On the other hand, it was very easy to find out who had the worst of it---the girl had her head broken, 111‘Clary was stabbed in three places, and Coughly was dilapidated on the skull; in fact, it'was the fiercest contest of the campaign the locality of Crosshal l-street, since th e com mencement of a, hostilities in that neighbourhood. A truce was put to the affair for the present, as their worships sent Bridget Duffy for trial, and Clogger and Kelly were Sent to jail for two months each, in default of paying £2 fine for the assaults committed by them. sAD CASE. Mr. Bremner appeared, accompanied by - Airs. Murdock, of Great Homer-street, and said he wished to apply to the bench on her behalf for a warrant to arrest her husband, Mr. Mur dock, for having committed a violent assault on her. Air. Murdock (he said) Was a publican of much respectability, and had his place of Business in Great Homer-street. At h a lf past two on Friday morning, ho entered his wife's bedroom. She was in bed when he assaulted her in a violent manner, blackened her eye, and cut her severely, -so that she lost a great deal of blood. He though when the bench would have heard the statement of Mrs. Murdock they would not refuse the warrant. He then called the lady, who stated that : At half-past two o'clock on Friday fnorning I was in bed when Mr. Murdock came in. • The servant girl was with me. He ordered her out, and then took hold of me and struck me violentlY. I fell on the floor and was stunned, so I do not know whether the cut I got was from the blow or the fall. The barman Caine to my assistance, and rescued me. The beating I got was from my husband. Mr. Castellain :I do not see any objection to the granting of the warrant. The warrant was accordingly granted. THE CHARGE OF UTTERING A FORGED 'BILL. John Constantine was brought up on remand, charged with uttering a forged bill of exchange. Mr. C)bb appeared for alleged thc prisoner. The facts of this case app eared in our paper of yesterday. Mr. Cobb examined Mr s. Je uk i , said the she ' a ace ptor of the bill, and she, in reply to h seen Mrs. Curry, the alleged dra wer of the !Al. once, when she called on her and asked her to sign a for her. She refused to do so. That was in June last, and the. bill she asked. her to sign was for £4O. She got a letter from the prisoner. about a bill, and went to his house on that account, and that was all she knew about him. Mr. Cobb. contended that thei e. was no legal charge against the pr:s?ner, as he got the bill' from Mrs. Curry in the way of business, Detketive-allicer Patrick said he had byen searching for Mrs. Curry for some days past, but could not find her. gain' The prisoner was again' remanded, but the magistrate said he Wou4l take b a il i n £2O or his appearance. nrlpy. 3 TOXTETH PARK LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

Garseon-road and the neighbouring thoroughfares, on the conditions accepted by the Birkenhead Commis sioners. After a goad deal of discussion, during which Mr_ Darsie drew attention to the damages to the streets, and the danger to vehicles and horses from the railway at Birkenhead, he thought that it would be well to Clow ! Mr. Train's scheme a fair trial, before fhel took any steps in the matter.: The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question, replied that he supposed that Mr. Train would keep the road in repair, and remarked that when drivers of carriages and vehicles had beetame accustomed to the rails, the acci dents referred to by Mr. Darsie would become leas fre quent. Members suggested that no definite reply should be given to Mr. Train until the Liverpool Town Council should determine what course they should adopt. It was ultimately determined that the subject be taken into consideration at the next meeting of the board. A letter from Mr. R. P. Bolton was read. Mr. Bolton complained of the ungentlemanly conduct of' the surveyor, *ho, he asserted, had connived at, or directed Mr. Miller to make, some alterations in South wood (or Mersey) street, leading to the shore. The Surveyor denied having seen Mr. Bolton on the subject, and After sonic discussion, the board directed the clerl to. inform Mr. Bolton that Mr. Miller was acting, without, instructions from their surveyor or themselves. In reply to a letter from the board, The CHAIRMAN read a communication from the' Liverpool Board of Health, stating that the improve ments in Smithdown-larse would be proceeded with,. without any further delay.

NEW INVENTION.—THE NEw FOUNTAIN Psa.---A greater annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with--the difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec tive contriYanee the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib; and this barrel can be.taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes' quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We h Ire tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall, Soath John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are sure all who use it will rive a full verdict in its favour. The misery, the dtsappotaiment, the Interminable expense of " physic-taking," are now happily suspended by the use of Du.
