have no choice but to adapt our arrangements to the times we live in. We may feel exceedingly reluctant to sink million after million of our hard-won wealth in so unproductive an investment as that of fortifications, guns, rifles, war-ships, and standing and floating armies. But we have wealth, and wealth-pro ducing resources, liberty and free institutions, a constitutional monarchy and national indepen dence, all of which we are manfully determined to protect and maintain intact. We value them at the sum total of the worth of all that we are, or ever can be as an intelligent and happy people ; and accordingly we are, and must be, ready and willing to spend not only means to any extent, but even life itself, to resist every aggressor. To this end we must be prepared. We dare not wait until the burglar mounts the wall, ere we strengthen ourselves to repel the onset. It were then too late. We must lock our doors in anticipation of the thief. Locking the door after the steed is stolen, is but a poor game. To trust to moral suasion alone, when a robber is continually at large, were to live in a fool's paradise. En lightened, intellectual, and commercial as we are, we must lay up stores of pikes and guns, and other equally forcible apparatus, not in mere sham, as they set up scare-crows to frighten feathered marauders, but in downright earnest, to meet and dispose of any foes that might attack us. The only measure or limit of our defensive preparations is that of our possible adversary's. This is likely to prove, especially in naval warfare, pre-eminently the Iron Age. Powerful iron-plated frigates are to rule the waves. La Gloire, it seems, belongs to France ! Has, then, La Glare departed from England ? Perish the thought. But at present, mark; the odds are ten to four against us. La Gloire is covered by Pallas; but the palladium of English glory shall not be found wanting. For our four, France contem plates ten, iron-bound vessels of war. Thus, for the moment, we are behind our neighbours. This, however, is but for a day. A brief space of time will suffice to put us at least on a par in this respect ; and, if need be, we can speedily surpass any nation in the world in the number, size, and quality of an armour-bound fleet. The French loudly boast of the success of their experiments in iron-cased ressels ; for the trial cruise of La Oloire is believed to have been a complete triumph. Masonry and wood-built batteries may be.cfnmbled or shivered to pieces by modern ord nance. La C Loire might safely anchor alongside our best fortifications, or in the very teeth of our assembled fleets, and leisurely demolish stone walls nine feet thick, and disable, burn, or sink every "heart of oak" within range. As a first line of defence, therefore, wooden vessels are for ever doomed. Iron is alone invulnerable. No time is to be lost. Without scientifically constructed iron-cased frigates, our fleet and for tifications are worthless. By means of these invulnerable vessels we can literally surround our island home with an angulated wall of iron against which none can advance without meeting certain destruction. Although we desire no such armaments for aggressive purposes, yet as they are equally available for offensive and defen- sive -measures, and might be turned against us, we are bou.ad to prepare for their Worthy reception by the construction of equally powerful vessels. Our land batteries, and fortifications—if not also our field batteries, must now be protected by similar armour-shields. Thew are the only reliable defence against rifled ordnance. Already this all-important subject has been seriously under the consideration of the pro per authorities, and further experiments are in con templation with the view of perfecting this method of defence ; and we are sure that the people of Englanl, with one voice, will applaud the adop tion of the most prompt and energetic steps for effectually carrying out these measures so as to secure to England without a moment's unnecessary delay this new requisite for the maintenance of her paramount dominion on the ocean---that element of strength which is so vitally essential to,the preservation of her inde- Pendence, to the protection of her wide-spread commercial relations, and to the continued augmen- Cation and development of her marvellous wealth and resources. ILLNESS OF THE EARL OF DERBY 7 We are happy to state that Lord Derby is recovering front his recent indisposition. Reports of an alarming nature were current in town yesterday respecting the state of his Lordship's health ; but we have the greatest pleasure in stating that we hare received the following communication, in reply to an inquiry, on the subject; T , O THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Knowsley-hall, Sept. 28, 1860. SlR,—Lord Derby has a severe attack of gout, bat is a little better to-day. THE BOROUGH REGISTRATION. On Tuesday !text the revising barrister will sit in St. George's Hall, for the p pose-of legalising the list of voters for the borough -- 4,‘ Liverpool. new claimants as sent in by the overseers, as well as the t year's - list of voters, have been most ,ca,refully analys by the secretarieg of the two great political associatio —that of the eonserrutive by Mr. J. S. Branch, secre ry' of the Constitutional Association ; and the Radical list Mr. Brunifitt, of the Reform Association,—the Result of which is, that about 2,500 claimants have been served with objections ; and it will be for each individual so , uhjseted to attend before the revising barrister, and make good his right to remain upor the next year's list, before he can have the privilege of recording a vote for any member to represent the people of Liverpool in the 'commons' House of Parliament.

Liverpool in the House of Commons. We understand from very good authority that our Atadieal friends had intended-- to make an attempt at this revision court to establish the -"compound house holders' franchise," but, for various .reasons, have abandoned that scheme until some future period not yet named. In this ,ease, no doubt,.they considered "dis cretion the better part of valour." At the approaching revision some very interesting points of law will be" raised and argued as to who his, and who has not, a right to vote. The proceedings, therefore, threaten to bt of rather a . . lengthy character. The Barrister Will sit on Tuesday inorning, at nine o'clock, and will Commence by hearing the objections to the freemen, after which the list of the householders of the Everton and Kirkdale Wards, and the other wards in succession, as they stand on the list. In conclusion, we remind those claimants who are objected to that unless they are Pcesent to substantiate their right to vote, they will be at orNe struck off the list. 1 1 - 1 E ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Seven per cent, intereat, payable half-yearly at the dank of London, seems a very tempting return for a 'Lae investment. The mortgage bonds of the Atlantic 411 (1 Great Western Railway are now in the market at th at rate. The four coupons first maturing will bear the taarantee of the Bank of London, duly endorsed, thus gtlarding the investment against any possibility of default. T he name of Ex Senor Don Jose de Salamanca as con tractor and of Thomas W. Kennard, Esq., C.E., as en gineer-in -chief, grace the p r o s p ectus of the under taking. The line is nearly four hundred miles long ; and ; Is the middle link of a line twelve hundred miles 'il • length, stretching from New York to St. Louis in the Par West— of which about e i ght hundred mile s have been many years in operation, The expense " construction has been and will be exceedingly inlitodi_erate, in consequence of the geographical faci bei7 Of the country through which it passes, there ; u g 1 10 very expe ns ive works required. The present ss i , e is confined to the bonds of " New York," that sect ion being now finished. In addition to the ordinary revenue .!s of the line, a fixed and permanent source of elPeCiaily appropriated to securilig the interest on these bonds, which are alSo secured by a first regis tered mortgage, and give the holder the right of con version into shares at par for four years to come. The bonds are issued at 80 per cent., redeemable at par in twenty years, and are transferable without stamp or endorsement.. The value of the security offered may be best appreciated by consulting the figures in the pros pectus, as advertised in another column. Even after making the ordinary allowances for over-sanguine ex pectations, the investment seems to be as sound and profitable as anything of the sort going. [TIDIES.] The Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company have announced an issue of £200,000 7 per cent. deben tures, with a dividend from the Ist of July last at 80. This line is in course of construction to connect the New York and Erie with the extension railway system of the west and south. It will be 378 miles in length, and will open up' an unbroken route of 1,200 miles from New York to St. Louis. Apparently it is likely to command a large share of the most important traffic in the States, while it will also possess an active local trade, since it passes through some of the best agri cultural districts of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The contract cost is to be £7,400 per mile, and a pecu liar feature of the undertaking is that Senor de Sala manca, the Spanish banker, appears as the principal contractor. The bonds now to be put forth are secured by a first mortgage on that section of the work which passes through the State of New York, and which has just, been finished and opened, and the holders are to enjoy, until the Ist of January, 1864, the option of having them converted into shares. To the Erie Company the undertaking is obviously of vital importance, since its effect must be to chang•e their road from a local into a grand trunk line. They have accordingly agreed to pay to the Atlantic and Great Western Company a bonus of 10 per cent. 'on all the traffic to be derived from the connection during five years from completion, and of 5 per cent. for five years thereafter. When the conoern was started, two or three years back, there were many attempts to excite prejudice against it, but, as far as can be judged from the statements now presented, and the geographical bearings of fie route, it seems one of the most legitimate that could have been brought for ward. [DAILY NEWg.] A new railway security, to which considerable interest is attached, is now being offered to the English public. It consists of an issue of First Alortg,age Seven per Cent. Bonds of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, to the extent of £223,000. This railway, which will be 378 miles long, is the middle link of a grand trunk line, a continuous 6 feet gauge, comprising no less than 1,200 wiles, and connecting New York with St. Louis. 822 miles of this length, forming the New York and Erie, the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton, and the Ohio and Mississippi railways, have been many years in operation. The present issue of bonds is sgeured upon the New York section of the Atlantic and Great West ern Railway; and it is a creditable fact that no appli cation has been made to the market until after the completion of the section referred to. All the funds have hitherto been provided by calls on the stock and by a4vances by the contractors As each of the future sec tions is opened, the bonds relating to it will be issued to the public. In many respects, the features of the under taking appear to be uncommonly promising. The Atlantic and Great Western line is of the deepest interest to the New York and Erie Company, which it will aid greatly, the latter having hitherto, by the active management of rival lines, been shut out of a large amount of traffic that would other wise flow upon it. It is likewise a distinctive feature that the present issue is for account of London capitalists, large proprietors of the Erie Company, who, alive to the important assistance which the Atlantic and Great Western line will afford to their undertaking, have purchased the whole amount of bonds from the company, after personal investigation of the merits of the project. The railway . bein finished, the traffic returns will immediately begin to be published. It is believed that these will be of a very satisfactory character, as the railway lies in the very centre of the population and agriculture of the United States. The bonds are to be issued at 80 per cent., redeemable in twenty years. Mowing for the coupon due on the Ist January next, the price becomes really about 77. The interest' is payable in London. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday, Sept. 27. Although none of the semi-official journals have expressly confirmed the fact of an ultimatum having been forwarded by the Papal Government to the Em peror, there is no longer any doubt of its correctness and of the account which other papers bate given of its contents. The Holy Father has fixed the 30th of this mouth for receiving an answer to it from the Imperial Go vernment. If within this period Pius IX. has not received an assurance that France will support him in getting back those portions of his territories which have been taken from him by Sardinia, he has declared that he will quit his capital, and that he will, moreover, give to the world certain documents proving that Napoleon HI. bad formally promised to preserve the integrity of his temporal possessions. But it is not very likely that the Emperor would undertake any obligation of that kind without some corresponding conditions on the other side. It is well known that the Pope has been repeatedly urged by his Imperial protector to grant various concessions and reforms which were demanded of him; and it is also equally well known that up to the present time none such have been granted, bat whether the granting of these reforms was the consideration to be given for the continued protection of the French garrison, ar whether, as is hinted in other quarters, the Pope had promised to make a member of the Buonaparte family a cardinal, with the view of his succeeding him iu the Papal chair, time only will shew. Rest assured, however, that there is a mystery of some kind at work. Dr. Cumming woul dealt it " the mystery of iniquity." The despatches containing the ultimatum were brought by M. de Cadore, the first secretary of the French Lega tion at Rome, to Turin, together with an autograph letter from his Holiness to the Emperor, which is the document one would like to have a look into, but these matters are not managed here quite so well as in Berlin. It has, however, transpired, that in this letter the writer declares that if France is to limit her protec tion to the defence of his person, he would rather he a prisoner in the fort of St. Angelo than a free man in the Vatican, divested of the possession of those states, the integrity of which he had sworn to defend. M. de Cadore, not finding the Emperor at Marseilles, where he expected to meet his Majesty on his return from Algiers, he set off in all baste for Paris, and the result was, the two extraordinary meetings of the Council to which I alluded in my last. The resolutions come to at these meetings have not yet been made known, but the article in the Onstitu tionnel, signed by M. Boniface, which has been so much the subject of comment within the last few days, appear to indicate that the Cabinet of the Tuileries has no intention of agreeing to the terms of the ultimatum. M. Boniface, who signs the article in question, is the secretary of the ridaction (editorial staff) of that paper, which implies a more than usually governmental inspi- ration. pr But supposing the Pope to leave, will ttie p troops cease to, occupy Rome, and—return to Fr ance This is a very doubtful question ; but it seems to opinion of most persons here that the occupation wl entail* eyen after the flight of the Pope, and that the Emperor will express a determination to preserve, even in spite of His Holiness, the patrimony of St. Peter, and assign that as a reason for not withdrawing his troops. The Afonde, a journal which is recognised as a continua tion of the Univers, which the Emperor suppressed some months ago, for daring to lecture bin on his conduct towards some of the wildest of the French bishops, makes it out that France would only be doing her duty if she acted thus ; and very probably the author of the article in the Constitutionnel means the same thing when he says that France will always be ready " to prove to the Head of the Church (even after his departure from Rome) her respect and devotion, and in concurring in the reparation of faults for which she is not responsible." It is much more easy ,for France to keep Rome, now she has got it; or, to express the soup "idea," in other words, would it not be a much simpler plan to prevent the Pope from leaving, than to have to bring him back under an escort of French bayonets ? Whatever may be the real state of the case, it is abundantly manifest that if the Pope and his protectors were to leave Rome, one great cause of difference between Garibald and M. Cavour would be removed. As to this last point, the "situation" has undergone a considerable change. Whilst Garibaldi is talking of attacking the French at Rome, and the Austrians at Venice, and issuing proclamations to his volunteers, and to a Venetian Committee, with a view to evoke a fresh burst of feeling in favour of Italian unification ; and while he is talking about proclaiming this unification from the heights of the Quirinal, and stopping in his course only on the summit of the Al p s, he is findin g no small obstacles his way to be overcome in the king dom of Naples; to say uothing of the difficulties which are caused to him by the wishes of the inhabitants for immediate annexation; his resistance to these wishes ; his quarrel with the Government of Turin, and the influence of those revolutionary elements in Naples which have compromised him in the eyes of Europe, and are threatening to make that city the focus of dangerous agitations. His military operations against Cape with a view to drive Francis 11. out of Gaeta, have undergone a very marked check. The debris of the Neapolitan army grouped around the Sovereign —seems quite a new thing for them—to be fighting in earnest, since the landing of the Garibaldians on the main land. At the same time the check which the volunteers have thus received, will, it is hoped, have the effect of calming down some of the rasher spirits among them, who are beat on precipitating the Dictator in enterprises of the maddest description. News has at length been received of General Lamori ciere : he is in Ancona, and has sent word to his family of his safety. The fall of the place cannot be long delayed. It is generally believed that the English Government has addressed a Government very plain s p o k en d espatch to th e Sar dinian recommending it to take no steps that would compromise it with Austria, or infringe ppon the arrangement of yillafranca. The meeting of the Turin Parliament on the 2nd of October, will cer tainlyi4pst important one that has ever been held be the . 1 4 !4 1 4, Fri4ay, Sept. 28. i,event kW. fr t ga 44 1 34 i Veo; 91' 4 her9j4l yaw i* frequently in the ranks of the army of Garibaldi. Her name is the Countess Marie della Torre. Armed to the teeth, and always in the front rank, this renowned Joan d'Arc is said to have slain two Neapolitans with her own hands during the fighting on the 20th. By all accounts, Garibaldi would be none the worse for a good many Joans d'Arc, and so it will be so long as he allows him self to listen to his present advisers. His recent intem perate language has deservedly alienated the sympathies of some of the warmest friends of Italy, and has of course a corresponding favourable effect on the cause of the Royalists. If it be true that he has threatened to bombard the town of Capua unless it is surrendered to him, he is taking one of the worst leaves out of the hook of King Bomba, sen. and jun. In fact, matters have now come to such a pass, both in Naples,—where the half -mad Alexandre Dumas is making himself a laughing stock to the world, and compromising the repu tation of his patron and friend,—where all the refuse of the French provisional government of 1848 seem to be gotheang together, to repeat, if possible, the scandals, follies, and excesses of that body,—and in the field, where the raw Garibaldian levies are for the first time meeting with a serious and loyal defence, that unless the Sardi nian Government actually interferes without delay to save the Dictator from his friends, there is very little choice left between reaction and revolution. A trium virate is already spoken of, and very decisive measures are being adopted by the supreme power in several directions. A considerable amount of private property belonging to Francis 11. and the members of his family—(one account states so much as 501,794 ducats, or £400,000) —has been seized upon and confiscated. All the pro perty from which the bishops and archbishops derive their revenues has been declared national property, and the bishops and archbishops are for the future to receive their allowances from the State, which are in no case to exceed the sum of 2,000 ducats per annum. The corps of cannoniers and marines are to be dissolved on the 11th of October, and the navy is to be put under entirely new regulations. All these are very strong steps for the Dictator to take in the absence of the authority of the King, in whose name he acts. It is reported also that Garibaldi has appointed M. Cattaneo as pro-Dictator of Naples in his ab sence. On the other hand, the language of the Piedmontese journal, would appear to indicate it to be the intention of that Government to adopt a very energetic attitude towards himlbut it is almost impossible to suppose that he will allow matters to come to extremities. He has taken possession of Italy in the name of King Victor Emmanuel. Fqrther, he. has com pelled the Neapolitan Ministers, when they entered upon their functions, to swear " fidelity and obedience to Victor Emmanuel." Is it therefore to be imagined that he will be the first to give the example of disobedience towards the King, or issue counter-orders to those which. have emanated from Turin ? Impossible : unless we assgme that he has delivered himself over to the Max- ziniaus 411 d 14$ party, and agreed to cast in his lot, including his whole fortune, his great name, character, and reputation, with them and the cause of revolution, _ _ with disaster, disorder, and its necessary result, despotisrn. The accounts of the fighting on the line of the Volturno are rather conflicting, the friends of each side indulging in a great deal of exaggeration. There is no doubt, however, that there had been three days of it previously to the 22nd. Both parties seem to have fought with equal courage, but both with equal loss. Cajaazo was taken and retaken several times, but on the 21st it remained in the possession of the Garibaldians. The cavalry made several vigorous sorties from Capua, and inflicted severe losses ou the eyeing. The legion La Masa, consisting of Sicilians, was dispersed, as well the brigade Eber, and it is said that Colonel Puppi was severely wounded. On the 21st, every carriage and cab in Naples were put in requisition by the authorities, to fetch the wounded, of whom 650 arrived in the evening. There were great calls for linen and lint. The attack of the cavalry was led by the Ist Regiment of Hussars, which behaved very valiantly, and the Royal Artillery followed their example. The place was to be invested on Sunday. It appears that the Garibaldian artillery is served by Piedmontese gunners. I should have men tioned when alluding to the, steps which were being taken by Garibaldi in Naples itself; that the Cardinal archbishop of that city were arrested by his orders c l ux i4g the. night of the 21st, and obliged to leave Nap l es. eeyera! Piinelli has also been sent about his business. - A Turin despatch, dated the 26th instant, mentions that the King Was on the point of setting off for Bologna. Also that the Piedmontese frigate Le Governelo, had brought to Trieste 1,000 Austrians who had been taken prisoners fighting in the ranks of the Papal troops. Cardinal Antonelli's protest to the different members of the Diplopatic Corps resident in Rome, appears in the evening papers last eight. Ike protests in the name of the Pope against the invasion of the Pontifical States by the Sardinian troops, he expresses his c on fid e nce that the Sovereigns of Europe will not view such an act with indifference, and appeals to all the Catholic Powers for aid. A letter from Rome, dated the 21st, published in the Modde, states that General Guyon had serf ,20Q French soldiers to Corneto, but had recalled them on the approach of the Piedmontese troops, and had subsequently refused to Coyer yiterbo, saying that it was impossible for him to leave Rome. A postscilpt to the same letter, written on the following day, states that "it is felt how grievous a situation His Holiness is placed in, and that it cannot but lead to extreme measures being adopted by him; and that it was asserted tbo i t the Pop e , i n an i n te rv iew with M. de Goyon, said to him,.—' M . lc' General, the world is before me,' (le monde egt grand) ; and that M. Cadore had reported this expression to the Emperor on his arrival T'aris.” The activity and firmness which have recently charac terised the proceedings of the Bourse have not been diminished. _ _ _ --- The Rentes yesterday, which touched 68f. 70c., closed at 68f. 60c. LATEST NEWS. (111( BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE. The Herald's Paris correspondent says that another division of infantry is to be sent to Rome by the end -of this week.

The same journal also says the military division of Lyons will proceed immedi ately for Rome, and reinforce the carps of occupa tion. ROLE (Viii Marseilles), Sept. 25. General Goyon, on the demand of the ggr- Meradi, had ordered the reoccupation of Cornetti by French soldiers. General Goyon has also placed outposts two miles beyond Rome.

The schooner yacht Mirage, Lovatt owner, now lying in Kingstown harbour, is, we understand, to sail immediately for Naples, with the design of being offered for service to Garibaldi in any capacity. She carries six brass four-pounders, and a crew of twelve men, besides three or four gentlemen volunteers, all armed with rifles. NAPLES AND SICILY. NAPLES (via MARSEILLES), Sept. 25. Liborio Romano's Cabinet has tendered its resignation, on account of the preponderance of Bertani. Signor Conforsi is about to form a ministry professing extreme opinions, the mem bers of which, it is said, will include Ferrigui, Mignogna, and Saliscetti. The Marquis de Bella, Ambassador of Gari baldi at Paris, has tendered his resignation. A battalion of 700 priests has been organised. The forts of Pescara and Augusta, in Sicily, have capitulated. The commander of the Fort of Baia, near Naples, still resists, and threatens to blow up the fortress. The soldiers of the King at Gaeta are said to have demolished the residence of the French Consul, under the pretence that there was a connivance between him and Gari baldi. The French Consul was absent at the time. GARIBALDI AND THE VENETIANS. Garibaldi has complied with the request of a deputation of Venetians, who sought permission to publish at Naples a journal to excite the people of Venetia to a general rising ; and he caused his reply to be published in the official journal of Naples. He told the deputation that the present war was the only national one which could give them •-a country—" Oir battles are so many marches, in our progress to the Alps, on the summit of which alone we will stop." He autho rised them to act as an association, for the purpose of electing subsidies for all kinds of insurrectional war-makin g for their common deliverance. THE PAPAL QUESTION. The Globe in a leader on Italy, .remarks that ;he Italian question is fast narrowing down to he Papal question. THE IRISH BRIGADE. A letter in the Paris Unione, states that in Perugia, 30 Irish were killed out of 260. The Paris correspondent of the Globe says that at Montefiascone, out of 70 killed in the Papal ranks defending that town, eight were Irish. THE WARSAW MEETING. A letter from Berlin, says the Ambassadors of Russia at the courts of Berlin and Vienna, have been ordered to proceed to Warsaw, before the arrival of the sovereigns, as Prince Gortschakoff wishes to see them before the arrival of the Prime Ministers of Austria and Prussia. ENGLAND AND SARDINIA. IMPORTANT DIPLOMATIC NOTE. The Cologne Gazette publishes the text of a note, addressed under date of Aug. 31, by Lord .f. Russell to Sir James Hudson, the British Minister at Turin. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs expresses the fear that the attacks against the Roman States and the Kingdom of Naples may lead to an attack upon the .- possessions of Austria in Venetia. If, says the despatch, the King of Piedmont was at liberty not to accept the preliminaries of Villafranca and the treaty of Zurich, now that he has pledged his word, he is no longg at liberty to attack a nation with which he has promised to live in peace and friendship. Should such a fact occur Italy would again be exposed to all the chances of uncertainty. AUSTRALIA. The Dover Castle, from Melbourne in ninety five days, has arrived off Portsmouth. She lauded mails, and proceeded for the East India Docks, with '57,036 ounces of gold valued at 1228,000. pRQTEST OF THE PONTIFICAL 0 OVERN4 ENT.

On the 25th the report reached Turin that the Piedmontese army had entered the Patrimony of St. Peter, and that the French were concentrating at Rome and Civita Vecchia. A formal order has been given to the Piedmontese commanders not only to avoid any conflict with the French, but even any discussion on any point whatsopver with the Frenetj oommaroe-cA. MEETING OF THE SARDINIAN CHAMBERS. When the Senate and Chambers meet, on Tuesday next, they will receive a communication from the Government.

Once Ancona is taken, and it cannot hold out long, Fanti's army will concentrate in the frontier of Naples, and it will cross it at the first call of the population. The general opinion 4 Tgri4 is that if Garibaldi does not sliceeed in tittir4g Gaeta Vailti's army will do it ; but this is opiy a rumour. SARDINIA. It is said that the Sardinian Governm en t receives from a portion of Garibaldi's troops a ssu ,._ ances of devotion to Victor Emmanuel. Th e check of Garibaldi at Capua is completely con firmed. It is said at Turin that the Dictator wa s so confident of taking Capua that he had gi ven orders for preparing illurninatio,us at Naples. It was reported 10 Turin, on Monday, that Gari baldi had • taken away the command of the fleet from Admiral Persano. The gratuitous gift of that fleet to Piedmont annoyed the party of action.

The following appeared in our later editions of 'esterday ATTACK OF THE SPANISH ON VERA CRUZ.-COLLISION WITH THE UNITED STATES. The Tinies Fiblishes a letter which shows the imminent prospect of a Spanish attack on Vera Cruz, in the interests of the ecclesiastical a n d reactionary party, whose power in other respects seems at length to have been almost crushed. A s the United States squadron has been lately strengthened to an unusual extent in the Gulf of Mexico, and Mr. M. Lane has been again dele gated from W as hi ngton t o the Jaarez Govern ment at Vera Cruz, it seems unlikely that Spain can venture upon a bombardment of that port without bringing herself into a collision with America, one of the first results of which would be the loss of Cuba.

COMMERCIAL FAILURES. Yesterday the stoppage was announced of the old and respectable firm of Thomas Smith and Co., Fin distillers, of Bucks-row, Whitechapel-road. The liabilities are believed to be considerable ; but it is supposed that, although the aggregate may be rather large, the un secured portion is not more than .Z 20,000 or £2.5,000. Messrs.

He was instantly killed. CLAYTON HALL.-VOUSDEN. The popularity of this actor, and the attraction of the Unity of Nations," have become so interesting to the public, that, at the request of numerous respectable parties who have been prevented from attending in the evening, a morning performance will be given this day, instead of the usual evening entertainment. On this occasion, in addition to the beautiful songs incidental to the piece, some new and admired melodies will be intro duced. To show the success of this performance, we need only point to the fact that Mr. Vousden has been induced to prolong his visit, at the strong solicitation of patrons of the first respectability, who would, if they could, retain him here even longer than his other en gagements admit of at present. THE ROBBERY OF £1,500 AT THE OLD SWAN. At the County Magistrates' Court yesterday, before R. Brocklebank, R. W. Preston, and G. Moss, Esqrs., Sohn Thomas Richardson, who had been remitted from London, was charged with being concerned in the robbery of three. £5OO notes from the house of Mr. Henry Moore, Sandstone-lane, on the 9th of November last. The circumstances of the prisoner's arrest in London were briefly detailed in the Daily Tunes, and further reference to the case will be found in our report of the proceedings at the Liverpool Police Court. Mr. Toulmin, solicitor,' who appeared to prosecute, briefly detailed the circumstances ; and stated that, as a letter bad been received from Mr. Beard, the solicitor who acted for the prisoner's defence in London, asking a remand till Saturday week, it was not proposed to go further than give such evidence as would justify the remand. Mr. Henry Moore, the prosecutor, was then called, and gave the same evidence as has already appeared with reference to the entry of his house ant the abstraction of the amount stated, together, it appears, with £6O or £7O in gold, the money being altogether in a locked drawer, which had been forced open. The prisoner asked Mr. Moore if he had ever seen him before ) . _ Nr. Moore said not to his knowledge. A remand then took place till this day week, at twelve o'clock. HOUSEBREAKING IN WEST DERBY ROAD.-CURIO U S CASE. Yesterday, at the County Magistrates' Court, John Copner, a stout young fellow, of light hair and very florid complexion, was charged with having entered the house of Mr. Wm. Newbold, N. 8, Berwick -street, West Derby-road, and stolen therefrom some plate, with little trinkets.' The robbery took place so far back as the 9th of June, 1859, and some of the circumstances con nected with the prisoner's identification and his arrest are of curious interest. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoner. The first witness called was Elizabeth. Newbold, the wife- of the prosecutor, who ;said she now resides at 53, Tweed-street, West Derby roadt and fermerly resided at 8, Berwick-street. About half-p as t s ix o'clock on the evening of the 9th of June she left her house with the servant and child for a walk, first securing the back door, and then locking the front, When she had been gone about five minutes, she remem bered that she had left a letter which she wished to post; and returned, when Mrs. Roberts, her next neigh bour, told her that a gentleman had called in the inter val. She returned about a quarter to eight, and on going up stairs found all in confusion. In her bedroom a drawer was open, and from this there had been taken a gold chain, a seal and keys, a gold pencil-case,-two cornelian brooches, two hair rings, a silver butter knife, half -a-dozen silver spoons, a pair qf silver salt alioar4; and a plated key for an Albert chain. Ann Roberts, a widow lady, living next door, said she remembered Mrs. Newbold going out on the,day of the robbery. The prisoner shortly afterwards came to the door and knocked, when she went out and told him Mrs. Newbold wgs net in. ' 4 So I perceive," he said, and waut away. In about eight or ten minutes after wards he returned, and with something which he had in his hand quickly opened the door and went in, She did not see him come out again, as he had made his way out at the back. She had never seen the prisoner before, but was quite confident that. he was the, Nan. Cross-examined by Mr. Cobb—She said she would know him amongst a regiment of soldiers, altlthugh she could not tell how he was dressed. If she had known his errand, she would have taken more notice of him. Ann Hitchings, a smart-looking young woman, was then called, and said she lived at Mr. Batson's, green grocer, West Derby-road ; but in June last year she kept a beerhouse in Berwick-street, about a hundred yards from Mrs. Newbold's. About f our o ' c lock in the afternoon of the 9th of June, the prisoner came to he r house with a companion, and had some ale. She left to take a walk, but on her return she observed the prisoner's companion come from the direction of Mr. Newbold's bath-door, and afterwards join the prisoner, The Sunday following the prisoner palled at her house, when she told him of the robbery, on which he made no particular remark ; and site sent out her servant for Mr. Newbold, but when that gentle man was coming he hurriedly left the house and crossed the fields towards Kensington. She had seen the prisoner several times since in different parts of the town, Sh e sa w him a few weeks aft erwar d s in West Derby-road; ana as he passed her he put up his handker chief to his face, but she followed him with the view of swing him in oharge. On this he turned round, tapped her on the shoulder, and said, "Here, I want to speak to you. I have been to Major Greig, and am going to lay an information against you for defamation of character. Do you not know that I am a man in respectable busi ness in town ?" He gave her his address, as in Pair clough-lane. She answered him, "If you are free from the charge, why not come to Berwick-street and clear yourself; what is the reason you have shaved the hair from your chin, and taken the ring from your finger I am just coming from Hatton-garden; and if you are comin g from Major Greig . , how is it you are coming from West Derby ? Major greig would be only too happy to make an a uaintance with you." The prisoner 9 used some threats, and then walked quickly away. She saw him afterwards in Richmond-row, when he seemed to see and shun her, On the 31st of August she saw bin A again in Great Charlotte -street, when he said, " Excuse me, Miss, I ought to know you ; " and she was looking for a policeman, when a female came up and struck her under the chin, knocking her on to a door-step. He then joined the woman, and ran off up Elliot-street. • This witness was cross-exteuined at great length by Mr. Cobb, with the view of tracing her antecedents, but she answered all questions satisfactorily as affecting her self, and with extraordinary readiness. Mr. Cobb's object was to show that there had been some flirtation between her and the prisoner, and that hence she had an animus against him ; but this she positively denied. Mrs. Ann Rawle, or Boyle, who. lived next door but, one to Mr. Newbold, in Berwick-street, also testified that:she saw a man enter his house on the day of the robbery, and positively swore that the prisoner was the man. Mr. Newbold, the prosecutor, was next examined, but his evidence was inmaterial, None of the property it appears has been found. Mr. Cobb then addressed the court for the defence, attempting chiefly to break down the points of identifi cation ; but The Bench immediately decided to commit the priso ner for trial at the assizes. Bail was refued ; and the magistrates also declined to make an order for 47 found on him at the time of his arrest to be handed over to him for the purposes of his defence. The Council and Senate of the Queen's College have elected Dr. Collingwood to the Professorship of Animal Physiology. . FATAL ACCIDENTS , - A child named Mary Flett, four years of age, the child of parents living in Windsor street, died yesterday in consequence of injuries received some days ago, by her clothes catching fire.—A child, named Richard Atherton, six months old, died at 17, Hornby-street, in consequence of injuries received by a fall. VERY Luca !—A fellow was brought before Mr. It. Hutchison, at the Police-court, yesterday, charged with being a deserter.—Mr. Hutchison : What have you to say ? Prisoner : I have to say that I did not desert ; I only run away from the "sogers." (Laughter.) Be was committed as a deserter, although he only run away from the " sogers." _ _ THE CONSEQUENCE OF USING BID LANGUAGE.—A man was char&ed yesterday at the Police-court, before Mr. R. Hutchison, with having used very bad language in tireat Howard -street.—Mr. Hutchison Well, what have you to say to this charge of having used such bad language in the street ? Prisoner : Nothing, except that I got a great cold.—Of course he was fined ss. and costs, which he paid, notwithstanding "the great cold."

COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAY. 4-IROOF PULLIN G AND LEGAL PROOF OF LIABILITY. —ln this case, Mr. Frazer, printer and lithographer, of Cable-street, was the plaintiff; and Mr. Fonquinos, an engraver, who has recently located in the same street, was the defendant. The claim was for 10s., the balance of an account of £1 4s. td. Mr. Grocott appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Gray for the defendant. The former legal gentleman, having briefly opened the case, called Mr. Roger White, the foreman in the plaintiff's lithographic establishment, who stated, in May, 18.59, the defendant called at the office and said he had an order for some chalk drawings, and gave him a stone upon which the design was traced. Tile defendant asked to have a proof of it, and he pulled him one. The witness explained the process of pulling the proof from the stone, from which it appeared that much time was occu pied in getting the impression even, and then he had to pull about half a dozen sheets before he could get the right shades. He sent him two proofs. After some alterations were made in the design, he again called for another proof, when the same process had to be gone throug, and h ios he se .a faira n n t d himtwomo reasonable charge proofs. He con sideredargefortheproofs considering the time and trouble. The defendant had. been asked for the money, but he said he would not pay because it did not please his customers. If there was any fault, it rested in the execution of the drawing, and not in the pulling of the proof. Mr. Gray argued that the action had been brought because the defendant had taken premises next door to. the plaintiff—that it was the custom of the trade to pull proofs of drawings in anticipation of having the printing, and that the charge was too much. •He called the defendant, who said all he wanted was the judge's opinion on the case. He admit ted that at the time he had no establishment, and that the proofs were pulled, but they were badly done, and he had to do the work himself. [The proofs were pro duced, as was al so th ose d one b y the defendants, from which it was clear that the design of the drawing had been much improved.] Mr. White said the pulling the proofs had nothing whatever to do with the design, for if the angel had been drawn on the stone upside down it would have appeared so on the proof, /and he could not have helped it. The specimen exhi bited by the defendant was quite different in the execution and in the design to that he had to pull proofs of. He denied most emphatically that the reason the action had been brought was because the de fendant had come to live next door, and stated it would make no difference to Mr. Frazer if he occupied a part of the same building, and that the reason the action had not been commenced before was, because the work was in hand at the time the defendant settled his last account, and it was not until he refused to pay it that proceedings were commenced. Without hearing Mr. Grocott, his Honour at once gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, with costs. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before MR. HUTCHISON.) THE ROBBERY OF £1,500 AT THE OLD SWAN. John Thomas Richardson, described as a dealer, living at No. 1, Little Anchor-street, Bethaail Green, London, was brought up by Sergeant Edward Funned, of the City Detec tive Police, London, and by detective officer Scott of our own force, on a charge of having stolen three notes of £5OO each, and about £7O in gold, from Mr. Moore, near the old Swan, in Noveniber last. Inspector Horn said the prisoner had been brought down by warrant, from the Lord Mayor of London, before whom he had been examined on Wednesday, on the charge. The officer (Sergeant Funnell) who had brought down the prisoner, took him to the Central Office where he Was booked, but as the offence took place in the county, the prisoner would have to be taken before the magistrates at Basnett-street. His worship directed the officers to take the prisoner before the County Magistrates. The prisoner is rather a remarkable looking person, about five and a half feet high, dark complexion, cocked nose, and piercing eyes that seemed to look every way at once. He appears abOltt thirty years old. He was neatly dressed i n black, and had a fancy blue tie on his neck. When put into the dock he looked anxiously about the court, and trembled very much, but soon became calm, and when he left he was quite cool. [As will be seen else where, a brief examination took place before the County Magistrates.] TAKING "TIME" BY A CROOKED, STICK. Michael Shea was brought up charged far having stolen a gold watch from the shop of Adolphus Herr, watch and clock maker, 129, Dale-street. The prisoner is About eighteen years of age, and got a fearful character from officer Skuse, 249, who sa id l‘e liyed in a house of ill-fame, and was a notorious thief. He had also decoyed two girls about sixteen years of age from their parents, and had kept them in the house for some time past unknown to their parents, and me Thursday night, he (the officer) got the girls in the house, and restored them to their parents. It appeared that on the 25th instant, the prisoner entered the shop of the prosecutor, and produced a watch that wanted a hand. He asked could he get a hand on it ? And being answered in the affirmative he left it. whilst he was in the shop, some gentlemen came in, and the Kosecu tor was in attendance on them, when the prisoper, with a stick that had three or four hooks on the, end of it, hooked a watch out of a glass case, and thennd se ar ch ‘ h Oo m k e a d d e" fiotrhthin:sperilfs.onTehre, until Thursday night, w h en the officer watch but he was wa s missed o t s l o n o d n arrested him in the house spoken of. The watch waft r: o f founel as yet. The prisoner was remanded. • (Before Mr. HOUGHTON.) PUBLICANS' AND BEER-HOUSE. CASES. Caroline Ann Green, beer-house lees_ e_ Bolton-street, was et charged with doing business cul Ea,:nutay morning. Dismissed. Joseph Hoult, publicatl; t oruldn-road, was summoned by Inspector Hough for hilowir4 a number of men to be drunk in the house, and for Fe: dug them with ale. The inspector proved having got ", number of drunken persons in the house, after one o'cl° el :- in the morning. Two police constable corro borated the' inspector's statement. Mr. Copeman appeared for the de 4etlaant, and said thvarties were from Derbyshire, and wpre, friends of the owner. He called the barman at the house, who said the men were cabmen, and were not drunk when they entered the house. Mr'. Copeman produced one of the men who was said to have been drunk, and he swore all were sober. Fined 10s and costs.—There was a second information against the same defendant for selling at prohibited hours, before four o'clock on Monday morning. The house was lighted up at one o'clock in the morning, and men were got in the place, drinking at the counter. Mr. Copeman said the barman had opened the house contrary to orders of the owner, the barman not knowing the law. This case was dismissed, but defendant got a serious caution as to future conduct. John Cat•athurs, publican, Greenland-street, was summoned by Inspector Kelsey, for doing business on Sunday morning last. Mr. Cobb was for the defence, and said the person got drinking in the house was a person who was being sent of a message, and he got a pint of beer as an " allowance." He called a Witness to prove this, and the case was dismissed. Simon Kelly, Edgar-street, beer-house keeper, was charged with Sunday trading. Mr. Cobb called a witness to prove that the drink was given to the parties as a "treat." Mr. Peel said beer-house keepers were very liberal, as such defences are very common. A second witness was called by Mr. Cobb to prove his statement, and the complaint was dismissed. John Maddox, South Chester-street, beer-honse keeper, was summoned for refusing to admit the police on Shnday morning. Mr. Cobb defended, and the case was dismissed. Mathew Martin, beer house-keeper, Chisenhale-street, was charged for selling ten pints of ale to ten men on Sunday morning. Fined ss. • John Smith, Rose-place, beer house-keeper, was charged with doing business on Sunday last at twelve o'clock. The defence in this case was, that the ale was given as a present. Dismissed. (Before Messrs. HUTCHISON and BRANCKER.) STABBING. Luke Milton was brought up on remand, charged with having stabbed Daniel Gannon. It appeared that on the night of the 18th, the parties were in a public house in Scotland-place, along with some other persons. A quarrel took place, when the pa r ti es were all put out. The prisoner and prosecutor are brothers-in-law, and had a grievous difference. When they were Put into the street, they had a fight, and fell, and when down, the prisoner stabbed complainant in two or three places in the neek, from which he was suffering ever since. Several witnesses were examined as to the row, and then Surgeon Pemberton, of the Southern Hospital, said the injured man was brought to him by the house-surgeon of Saint Anne's Dis pensary. .He was in a very precarious state from loss of blood. Found two wounds in his neck---one an incised wound across the neck, about two inches in length; the other was a punctured wound immediately over the carotid artery, and from which blood was slowly oozing. It was a perfect mira cle how he escaped death on the spot, and I cannot account for it. He is now suffering from paralysis of the left arm, which shows that the veins in the neck supplying the arm were wounded. For the first ten days his recovery was very doubtful, but he is now progressing, the paralysis of the arm only remaining, and it is possible the arm may remain par tially paralysed. The punctured wound must have been one of considerable depth, so as to reach the nerve. In reply to the magistrates, the prisoner said, " I don't know a haporth about it. lam a hard working man, but he's a thief and was twice transported, and that fellow's arm was broken twice before." The prisoner was sent for trial. Mr. Elliot, Minister of England to the King of Naples, says the Opinion Nationale, has passed through Paris on his way to London. CHEMISTS' ASSOCIATION.—The annual meeting of this association was held last evening, at the Royal Institution Colquitt-street. Dr. Edwards presided. There was but a small attendance. Mr. Shaw, secretary, read the annual report, which detailed the proceedings for the past year, and were considered extremely satis factory, as they now numbered 156 members and 21 associated members. The funds were also in a satisfac tory state, notwithstanding the expenses incurred in the purchase of instruments, the income amounting to £lBl 14s. 2d., and the balance in hand was £l9 15s. 9d. Mr. Evans announced a very valuable donation of 32 articles from Mr. T. Z. Simons. who was much pleased with the museum when he visited it, and promised that he would aid it as much as possible, and hence he had sent such a valuable donation. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Lightfoot. the report was unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. T. Z. Simon for his donation. It. was decided that the report, with a list of the mem bers of the society, should be printed. A vote of thanks was passed to those gentlemen who had given lectures during the past year, on the motion of the secretary, seconded by Mr. Sumner. A similar compliment, on the motion of Mr. Ayrto ,n seconded by Mr. Pearson, was passed to the office-bearers of the society, which was acknowledged by the 'chairman.

We regret to state that information was received in Liverpool yesterday, by telegram, announcing that the troop-ship Conway, of and from this port, bad been abandoned at sea ; but, although she had a large human freight on board, the telegram gives the gratifying addi tion—" crew and passengers . saved." The Conway, belonging to Messrs. James Baines and Company, of this port, sailed from the Mersey on the 24th ult., under the command of Captain W. Pole, and having a crew of forty-two seamen, &c., on board. She was bound for Calcutta, having been chartered by the Commissioners of Emigration, for the conveyance of soldiers' wives and children from this port to Calcutta, at the rate of £l6 9s. 3d. per adult head. She had previously been chartered conditionally by the Indian Council for the conveyance of three hundred and seventy soldiers, from Cork to Bombay, at the rate of £ll 9s. 6d. per soldier, but upon survey was rejected, and her subse quent acceptance by the Commissioners of Emigration caused considerable discussion at the time, that one Government department should accept for the convey ance of wives and children a vessel which another department had rejected for the men themselves. She had at the time of her departure, in addition to her crew, 264 souls, of whom 70 were married males and 135 married females ; 1 male and 6 female adults single ; 65 male and 12 female children, and 9 male and 7 female infants. Of the passengers 216 were Eng lish, 65 were Scotch, a n d 33 I r i sh. The telegram, which is very meagre, states that the Conway was abandoned 300 miles to the north-west of the island of Madeira, but no particulars nor dates have yet been received. She was a fine vessel of 1,126 tons, and has made several voyages from this port to the Antipodes, and was char tered with Government emigrants, for which trade she was admirably adapted. 'AMERICA.—The British and North American royal mail steamship Africa will sail from the Mersey for New York with the American mails. The steam tender Satellite will attend at the South George's Pierhead at nine o'clock in the morning to convey the passengers on board. LIVERPOOL CIISTOMS.—Mr. J. G. Thom, controller of accounts at this port, is about to retire on the list of superannuated officers. This fact gives us an oppor tunity of testifying to the many excellent qualities possessed by that gentleman. His urbanity of manner and general business tact are too well known and appre ciated by the mercantile public to require notice at our hands, and weare aware that the good-will and respect exhibited towards him by his brother officers and collea gues of all grades, are as freely given as they are well merited. Under such circumstances we may well congratulate Mr. Thom on his retirement, and express a hope that he may long enjoy his well earned repose.

MURDER OF AN OLD MAN AT WARRINGTON.— VERDICT or WrLruf. MURDER.—The adjourned inquest touching the death of William Yarwood was held OR Tuesday, at Appleton Thorn, Cheshire. The prisoners, William Dagnell, Thomas Kendall, William Leyland, Catherine Leyland, and Ann Green, were present. The wounds, deposed Mr. Spinks, were of the most frightful Character. There was a lacerated wound on the head, about an inch and a half in length. There was another wound over the right ear. The man's side had been literally kicked in, and his ribs smashed, the ends pro._ jetting into the cavity of the chest. The lower 1' „A s were frightfully bruised. The cause of death Was in flammation of the pleura or lining memb' line of the chest, produced by the injurie s i n fli c t e d ca the' deceased. —The Jury, after an absence of , a e ,aarter of an hour, returned a verdict to the effect, ',,ti at William Da hall was guilty of wilful murder.,‘---that Catherine Leyland had aided and abetted '4.,. the said murder; and that Ann Green was an ae tssory before the fact. The other prisoners, Thoma,.. 'Kendal and William Leyland, the Ju found n.-. 0 guilty. The Coroner then committed iDagnell, Catherine Leyland, and Ann Green to Chester Castle to await their trial on the charge. On Wednes ky, the whole of the prisoners were brought before the Borough Magistrates at Warrington, when the three found guilty by the Coroner's Jury were handed over to the Cheshire police. William Leyland and Thomas Kendall were discharged. A LARGE PIKE.--A few days ago Mr. Charles Drum mond, Abercairney, Crieff, succeeded in hooking a large pike while fishing in the pond near the mansion -house. The fish gave him fine sport, but he succeeded in bring ing it to land. It weighed sixteen pounds. A pike was caught in the same pond about twenty years ago which is said to have weighed sixty-five pounds. ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. The smashing of part of an iron bridge occurred on the Midland Railway, Bull-bridge, Derbyshire, on Wednes day morning, about three o'cl oc k. A goo d s tra i n, con sisting of nine wagons of salt, and four empty ones; were being conveyed upon the line to Hull, where the salt was consigned. When the train has passed the Ambergate station about half a mile or so, it crosses the turnpike-road leading to Crich by means of an. iron flat bridge ; at this point the engine driver, Samuel Gadd, , felt a "drag" behind their engine, as did also the stoker,. John Perkin. Nothing occurred till they had passed over with their engine and four empty . wagons, when immediately the bridge must have given way, and the nine wagons of salt were precipitated in the road, blocking up the turnpike for several hours so as to render it impassable. Alin Davison, the guard of the train, fell and was bruised on the head. A s on l y h a lf the bridge fell in, one line of rails is in a safe condition, and the traffic is at present carried on by that means. Some of the stones of the bridge, a ton weight, are smashed' and tumbled about like pebbles. GARIBALDI PAINTED BY A YOUNG LArrc.—A young lady, writing as enthusiastically a young ladies generally do, portrays Garibaldi "a dear old weather-beaten angel." We doubt if angels care much about the weather, con sidering they are always living in the open air, and are not generally represented as having much clothing about them, though, pu the other hand, it is agreeable to picture Garibaldi as an angel—an avenging angel for the l ong - en d ure d wrongs o f I ta l y — t h e angel of deliverance for the long-suffering martyrs of Naples. I However, granting (and to a young lady we are always ready to grant everything) that Garibaldi is " a weather beaten angel," it is a comfort to know that as yet be has never been beaten by ailything else. THE MASONS' STRIKE AT HALIFAX.—Another attempt has been made to bring this protracted dispute to a termination. It will be remer#bered that the majority of the masons in Halifax struck for nine hours a day on the 7th August, since which time the largest works in the town have been at a stand. On Tuesday night, the operative masons held a meeting, at. the Nelson Inn, to discuss the matter. They agreed to submit this pro position to the masters :—" To consent to a reduction of Is. a week in wages, but to work nine hours 'a day : in the event of this not being acceded to, the original pro position of nine hours, without an alteration of wag-es, to‘be adhered to." A deputation of four masons waited upon the masters on Wednesday evening, at the Com mercial Inn. The reply of the employers was that the nine hours' question could not be entertained at all. THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF STEAM BOILER EXPLOSIONS.—At the monthly meeting of the Committee of Management, held on Tuesday last, Mr. H. W. Harman, chief inspector, presented his report, from which the following are extracts :—" We have made 172 visits, examined 501 boilers, and 296 engines. Of these, 7 visits have been special, 11 boilers specially, 16 internally, and 34 thoroughly examined ; 6 cylinders hare been indicated at ordinary visits, and 1 at a special visit. • The general defects are as follow :—Fracture, 16 (3 dangerous) ; corrosion, 22 (3 dangerous) ; safety valves out of order, 13; water gauges out of order, 2; pressure gauges out of order, 4 ; feed apparatus out of order, 3; blow-off cocks out of order, 6 ; fusible plugs out of order, 2 ; furnaces out of shape, 8 ; blistered plates, 2; total, 78 (6 dangerous). Boilers without glass water gauges, 50; without pressure gauges, 8 ; without blow-off cocks, 11 ; without back pressure valves, 48. I h ave no bservation to make this month on any particular defect, with the exception that I have noticed on several occasions water gauges fixed in dark situations, where it is impossible to observe their action with any degree of certainty. In all cases light should be thrown upon them by some means' or other; as I believe it is far better to be without these and similar means of indicating the internal working of a boiler, than have them surrounded by circumstances calculated only to deceive. I may add, however, that lam glad to perceive a practice growing up a providing every boiler with two glass water gauges, thus affording at a cheap rate, even when the best description are adopted, additional security to all concerned. This, and the • hooping round the internal flues' to prevent collapse, with other improved methods of construction, will, I hope, in future years have their effect in lessening . the number of boiler casualties, not only in our own districts but all over the kingdom, by presenting a comparison with places where these points are not so attended to." THE "REVUE DES DEUX MONDES" ON THE VOLUNTEER.. MOVEMENT IN ENGLAND.—" The state of the English military schools and arsenals has now been shown. This study prepares us to enter into the organisation of the army and the Volunteer. movement. Here a fresh field of observation ()liens. It is the barracks, the fields, the parks, and even the public streets, that we must hence forward visit to acquire a complete idea of the forces of England. It seems imprudent for Europe to judge those forces on va,,,aue reports, which alternately a tt enuate or exaggerate the character of the armaments. When I read the French newspapers, I think --to use an expres sion common on the other side of the Straits—that the Thames is on fire; when I read the English newspapers, I think it is the Seine. Without dwelling on such reports, I think that the armaments and military reforms of the United Kingdom are of a nature to make Europe seriously reflect. Every nation of the continent, no matter which, that should feel disposed to come into collision with Great Britain ought to think twice about it. First and foremost she would find before her the old wooden wall of Old England, hitherto an impenetrable bulwark to her•shores; behind the ships are soldiers, who are daily increasing in numbers and improving in organisation; behind'those - soldieri stands the armed nation." WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.--A return made by the first commissioner of works shows that since July, 1856, when the report of a committee stated that £50,000 had been expended upon We s tminster-bridge and the approaches, there has been a f ur ther sum of £196,283t laid out upon the bridge, and of £36,919 upon the approaches. The 'engineer, Mr. Page, reports tat he expects to be able, in January next, to give possession of the piers and abutments of the new bridge to Messrs. Cochrane and Co., who have contracted to complete the iron work of the second half of the bridge in nine mouths; their work, therefore, according to their con tract, will be done by the end of October, 1861. In that case, allowing time . for the foot pavement and roadlay, the new bridge may be expected to be _cam. • pleted about Christmas, 1861. The width between the p ar apets will be 84 feet 3 inches, MISCELLANEOUS. RAILWAY CALL4.----It it a call for which we are always expecting some return, but rarely get it. Sir E. B. Lytton is said to be engaged on a five-act drama fur Mr. Phelp s , to b e brought out at Sadler's Wells. THE GRANDEST WORK or FlCTlON.—Ferdinand de Lesseps : Aright I venture, Sir, to inquire what.are .you think of the " Mysteries of Paris ?"—Cockney S hare_ of : Oh, my boy, th ey ' re nothing to the "Isthmus of Sue's." THE SUPPORT OF ITALY. —Tile ItaliallS, desirous of having but one Italy, keep shouting " Una! Una !" If Italy is alluded to as the Una, the Garibaldi must be the faithful Lion that is to carry Una through, and protect her from all danger. A proposition made at Naples by Father Gaeazzi, to knock off the heads of the two colossal equestrian statues of Charles 111. and Ferdinand, and place on them likenesses of Garibaldi and of King 'Victor Em manuel, has not been acceded to, consequently Canova's works remain uninjured. THE KING OF PUMPKINS.--What the mar k et people . call the "promenade of the King of Pumpkins," that is,. the parading of the largest pumpkin of the season, took place in Paris yesterday. The king this year weighs 315i1b5., and measures loft. 2in. in circumference at the widest part. It was put up to auction, and knocked down for the sum of 128E—Ga/ignani. AN INVARIABLE RULE.—When -an M.P., at an agricultural dinner, or a cutlers' f e a s t, or .a county gathering, or an archery meeting, tells you th a t h e i s not going to intrude politics, because politics by the rake of the society are excluded, you may be sire that he is on the point of introducing them, and that he will do so the very next minute; and, furthermore, that be will talk of nothing else but politics during the remain der of his speech. . COAL P IT EXPL OS I ON. —An explosion of fire damp occurred, on Monday night, in one of the Marchioness of Londonderry's collieries at Seaham, known as the "Nick-nack " pit. Two men were firing a "shot," when a sma ll " bag " of gas ignited, and they were both killed. Forty men were at work in various parts of the pit, but the explosion was confined to the spot in which it ignited. The pit is worked with safety lamps, owing ( to the known tendency of the seam to emit gas; but none had been met with previously in that part of the workings. One of the unfortunate deceased has left $ wife and five children unprovided for. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH OF A NEWSPAPER EDITOR.—It is with sincere regret that we have to record the -death of Mr. Henry White, who, for over 12 years, has officiated as editor and general overseer in the 'office of the Eastern Counties _Herald, at Hull. Mr. White had been engaged at the office in the morning, and went to dinner at the usual hour, not having com plained of any ailment, and he was returning to the office after dinner, when a short distance from his own house he fell and expired immediately. Mr. White's father is proprietor of the Dancaster Chronicle, and his. son, Mr. Henry White, was a gentleman of considerable literary ability, and was highly esteemed by a large. circle of friends. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL WAY.—On Wednesday morning a shocking accident occurred at the Doncaster station of the Great Northern Railway, to a man named Foster, a foreman of fitters employed at the company's pla.nt works, near to the station. He had just been superintending his men, and was standing apparently absorbed in thought upon' the down line, when the No. 6 goods train from London approached. Before anyone could go to his assistance, or the engine be drawn up, the poor fellow was struck and hurled upon the line, with his legs upon the metals. The wheels of the engine passed over both legs, and cat them off below the knee. He sustained other injuries, principally about the head ; and death ensued from the injury to the legs, and from concussiAi of the brain, in about a quarter of an honr-after. THE QUEEN'S AttarvAL AT ALITWERP.--aing Leopold, accompanied by the . Royal family., arrived on Monday morning,, at seven at the railway station of Antwerp, where the were received by the civil and military n authorit;, es. The Royal party immediately • proceeded . on l', - trard the En g li s h R oya l yac h t to welcome Queen Pic o on her arrival. Half an hour after, , the ' two sevf,:xtigns, the princes, princesses, and their suites, landc:;.: amidst a la rge crowd. The royal party imme ;tately proceeded to the railway station, and soon 'after started towards Germany. At Verviers, King Leopold . and the Royal family of Belgium parted from their illustrious relatives and returned to Brussels. Lord Howard de Walden, the English Minister at the Belgian Court, also went to Antwerp to receive his Sovereign, and accompanied her as far as Verviers. PROGRESS OF NEW YORIL—The prediction recorded by a mathematical genius in the year 1805 has received in the returns of the national census a remarkable verification. Fifty-five years ago New York contained 75,700 inhabitants, which this curious individual pre dicted would he increased to 882,062 in 1860. This estimate was published in Valentine's " Manual of the Common Council," of that date. Another calculator, taking the ratio of increase since 1805 as a basis, finds that in 1900 the city of New York will contain 5,257,493 inhabitants, being at least two millions more than the present population of this metropolis. Should London, however, continue to increase during the re mainder of the century at the same rate as during the last forty years, her population will then considerably exceed that anticipated for New York. --London Ameri can. THE SALMON FISHERIES Or ENGLAND AND WALES. ' —The royal commissioners appointed to inquire into the salmon fisheries have visited Gloucester, Monmouth, and Hereford. The witnesses are pretty unanimous in the following sungestions :—A uniform time to commence salmon fishing to be the Ist of March, and for fishing to end the Ist of September; a month later in the autumn to be allowed for rod fishing. The last spring not to be taken in the spring of the year under any pretence whatever, whilst migrating to the sea. After the Ist July, and to the Ist September, the last-spring or scur ling not , migrating to the sea may be taken with the rod only ; but this bade fair to occasion discussion, which the commissioners put an end to. None but the salmon net to 'be used. That public conservators should be appointed. That an annual tax should be put upon all fisheries, nets, and engines for taki ng fish. No fishing to be allowed between six p.m. on Saturday night and six a.m. on the following Monday morning, &c. SPORTIYO TOURS IN BRITISH AMERlOA.—LiCerliie3 are granted which remain in force for one year ; and although we are not certain whether the amateur fisherman would be obliged to take one, and we rather think not, there is not the least doubt that he would be able to obtain plenty of sport, whilst for gran deur of scenery, climate, shooting, &c., Canada pre sents attractions far superior to Norway, or other favourite resorts of Europe. It is astonishing to find how British America has been neglected; but we have no doubt but that soon it will become the grand haunt of the sporting tourist. Hhe is fond of hunting he will find plenty of game in their season—pigeon, woodcock, partridge, snipe, wild geese, and ducks, with a variety of other specimens of the feathered tribe, also deer and carriboo in winter. There are no game-laws to obstruct his movements. If he is fond of fishing, there is any quantity of small fish everywhere, and an abundance of trout and salmon. The provinces are irrigated with rivers and streams, and they swarm with fish. Those on the north are the resort of persons every year, who generally engage in fishing as a means of sustenance, and also of those who recognise it as a great amuse ment.—Canadian News. THE LEEDS ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.—We have already published the particulars of the elopement of an engineer, named Thomas Bamforth, with a Mrs. Barker, of Leeds, and the robbery of numerous articles of wear ing apparel, a gold watch. and upwards of £lOO in money from the woman's husband, who is a grocer, residing in Pottery Field, Hunslet, Leeds. On Wednes day, at the Hull Police Court, some further disclosures were made. Benjamin Bamforth, brother of Thomas Bamforth; was brought up for having 15 £5 Bank of England notes and £l4 in gold in his possession, know the same to have been stolen. On Tuesday night, the prisoner was drinking in a public-house in West-street, Hull, and was displaying numerous £5 notes to the company. One of the persons thinking that the priso ner had not come honestly by this large sum of money, sent for a police constable. As_ soon as the constable arrived, the prisoner ran out of the dram-shop, but was speedily captured. While the constable was conveying him to the station-house, he made an attempt to get some of the notes into his mouth, and one note he succeeded in partly destroying. When told the charge against him, he admitted that, on Wednesday morning, his brother had told him where the money was, and he had secured it for the purpose of keeping his brother's wife and family until the affair was over.—The prisoner was remanded.
