The number of persons assessed to the income-tax in respect of messuages and tenements under schedule A in the parliamentary boroughs of England and Wales at £8 and upwards was 795,185. The number of male occupiers in those boroughs assessed to the poor at the gross estimated rental of £8 and upwards was 675,455; and the number of electors on the register for 1859-60, 448,981. The order recently promulgated by Major-General Eyre, directing the saluting of volunteer officers by soldiers of the regular army, is a recognition in a trivial point of an exceedingly important principle. The relation in which the volunteer service, ranked as it now must be as part of the permanent institutions of the country, stands on the one hand to the general body of citizens, and on the other to the purely military organisa tions, involves a good many questions of delicacy. The recent order appears to place one of these upon a sound basis. Soldiers are desired to acknowledge volunteers, when under arms, as their fellow-soldiers, and to yield to them the customary greeting with which armed par- ties are received. They are Attu to salute officers of Volunteers when in uniform. But they are not required o salute such officers of volunteers when not in uniform, although it is a rule that they shall salute officers of the army, known to them, whether in uniform or not. The 'distinctiOO is perfectly reasonable. In tie United Kingdom there are 646 savings banks, 'of which 320 are only open about two hours in the week ; and as there are more than 2,200 post-offices at which money orders are issued and paid, there is no doubt but that if the plan proposed by a bill which wassed through a committee of the House of Commons in 1807, of making those post-masters receivers of deposits, it would be the means of greatly facilitating the investments of small deposits, in addition to which the depositors would have the security of the Govern , went ; and it has been truly said " That the inter• ference of the Legislature in taking these institutions under its protection must be highly advantageous to the industrious classes, as well as to the public at large, is evident at the first sight of our labouring population, especially when it is considered that, in addition to the positive advantages arising to the poor, whom it pro fessed to have principally in view, collateral benefits are derived from the plan by no means immaterial. Every person who has vested his savings in th e public funds, has a stake in the security of the country, proportioned not merely to the sum total of those savings, but to the value of that sum to himself, and will be deterred from compassing the disturbance of his native land by a personal motive, added to the influence of duty. He will feel. the importance of public peace and public credit with that strong conviction which individual interests never fail to inspire ; and, in answer to the objections of those who would be jealous of the support thus obtained to the ruling powers, it should be observed, that he who possesses property in a country is not interested in the stability of the Administration for the time being, but in the perpetual stability of universal order and good government." *** In consequence of Messrs. Hilton & Co., who have hitherto had charge of the delivery of our paper, declining business, we have now undertaken the performance of this duty by hands in our own immediate employment. We expect by this change to be able to effect a con siderable improvement in this department; but as it involves many little difficulties before per fecting the system of delivery we desire to attain, it is only reasonable to expect that some few irregularities will occur before we are in a psi tion to accomplish all that we intend by this change. We have, therefore, to beg of our Sub scribers some little indulgence for a few days until we shall have been able to put, this branch of the service into proper working order. In the meantime, we shall feel obliged by our friends and Subscribers informing us of any irregularities that may arise in the delivery of their copies. VOLUNTEER PRESS CORPS FOR LIVERPOOL. 'THE Volunteer Movement, glorious and success ful beyond expectation, as it undoubtedly has been, is still in its infancy and only developed to a mere fractional part of what it is easily susceptible. It is a duty incumbent upon all classes of society and upon those engaged in every department of trade to weigh well the responsibility that lies upon them of doing all that is in their power to forward this movement, not merely by individual adhesion to the force, but by suggesting and facilitating such arrange ments in their several spheres of business as shall enable and even induce every competent man within the range of their connection and in fluence practically to identify himself with the Volunteers. Early closing and the Saturday half-holiday have been pointed out with suffi cient frequency as eminently calculated to afford the requisite opportunities for Volun teering. Perhaps the most successful steps for organising corps have been those taken here and in other parts in connection with particular trades, businesses, and professions. In this there is no undue or envious class feeling, but simply an ordinary manifestation of that natural instinct felt by all classes of the com munity more immediately to associate with their equals in preference to appearing to intrude them selves among their superiors, or to seem to patronise their inferiors in social status. The esprit de corps which inspires every department of active life is not to be ignored in connection 'with the augmentation of the Volunteer force. Any company composed entirely of lawyers, of merchants, of bankers, of engineers, of trades men, of forgemen, of public servants, or of any other large section of the public entertaining a community of sentiments and interests, will be more united, spirited, energetic, and effective com- Pony than one composed of a heterogenous conglo meration of atoms of indescribably varied charac ter. In advocating this view, let it not be supposed that we wish to introduce any obnoxious class feeling into this patriotic movement. With Lord ELcno we should deprecate such a tendency as one of the most wicked degeneracies to which it could be subjected. It does not follow, however, that because we prefer associating with our coin "- Peers, we entertain any improper feelings towards others similarly disposed. Nothing of the sort. We, shall all be happy to meet in battalion or brigade movement with no other feeling than that of honourable rivalry as to which company shall most distinguish itself by hearty co-opera tion and military efficiency. We do not at present propose, to specify all the de partments -of business in each of which a good "Inpany might easily, and ought imperatively, to be formed in addition to the present roll of Volunteers. But there is one department of business in which we ourselves are especially interested, in connection with which we now Propose that a company should be organised—we 'neat' the Pre ss o f Li v erpool. " The P re s s - g ang" of the o ld compulsory system we would supersede b 37 a grand Volunteer " Press-gang," in the shape of Corps composed of men of all shades and "greets connected with the Press of Liverpool— " e xample which we should wish to see followed. by gen tlemen . Conriected with the Press in every other l arge town, where such a proposition has Buchanan has been to preserve amicable relations between the two kindred peoples. The island of Cuba, in spite of Spanish misrule, says the Ion(lo;4 Amvicern, is one of the most prosperous portions of the earth. Her present population is esti mated at 1,130,000, of which nearly 550,000 are white inhabitants, 180,000 free coloured, 400,000 slaves, and 38,000 Asiatics and Indians. The sugar estates are immensely productive. Twenty-three of the principal plantations, comprising about 100,000 acres of land and 10,175 slaves, are valued at £3,000,000. These twenty three estates produced, in 1859, 235,000 boxes, the worth of which was £4 each box, making in all £940,000. There are 1,600 sugar plantations in Cuba, the exported products of which amounted to about £10,000,000 per oreiga essity , The which self iQ assn- respec t a fter Fathe r aeludes Le PoPe which ill thed 7 COSea e faith' on here eaVe to he is at which befallen ition of atheS all rauce 01 ie P s ' n Turin carrie d )al mar lidt, U te LO doubt? ented ;criptiool allantl 1, but 3; rertakillg lot fight, arge pact a, ad° lay th e° he roP el , who 133° is by this hat stir° therefore, mitigat e accurad Tmer one, lenied not already been given effect to. Have we not amongst us all an esprit de corps which inspires every member of the Fourth Estate, from the machine boy up to the editor and proprietor, and which might, and ought to be turned to good account in furtherance of this great loyal self-defensive movement ? Every well affected member of the Press in Liver pool will, we feel assured, cordially respond in the affirmative. As to the amount of material to work upon there can really be• no doubt. Of operative printers alone there are in Liverpool considerably upwards of three hundred employes. Adding to these the:proprietors, editors, contribu tors, and reporters, the total number of " gentle men of the press" in the good old town cannot be much, if any, under five hundred. Out of these there ought without difficulty to be found at least a hundred efficient members to form a company. A much less number will legally suffice to begin with—say fifty. One-half that number of men connected with the press aro already enrolled in various corps, who would, by transference, be at once available to form the nucleus of a Press Corps, whose places would speedily be filled up in the corps they are now connected with, and whose numbers as a recognised Press Company would as speedily be augmented to the number required legally to entitle them to assume a dis tinctive character, with a captain and officers of their own. It is clear, then, beyond dispute, that whether as regards principle or numerical strength, there is not only no reason why a Press Corps should not be organised, but every reason• able consideration and inducement for the imme diate constitution of such a body, as an important accession to the Volunteer force of the town. To enforce this argument or proposition surely requires no appeal or eloquent peroration. The strong common sense and unequivocal patriotism of the members of the Fourth Estate of the real m has been abundantly demonstrated, not merely by the ample space devoted by them to record the various movements of the Volunteers, or by the frequent and warm eulegiums passed upon the bodies hitherto enrolled, but by the fact o so many of the most distinguished ornaments of the literary profession having themselves already joined the force. It is now only asked of them to give unity and strength to their individual views and patriotic sacrifices by professional co-operation. We know that an opportunity is all that is required to bring forward the requisite number. Will that opportunity be withheld? We have no particular wish to claim the honour of being the first among our contemporaries to bring forward the proposal of a Liverpool Press Corps—or " Press-gang," if you will—but if no one more influential will take it up and promote it, we have little hesita tion in saying that we shall see to its speedy accomplishment ; or at all events, it shall not be our blame if we are not speedily able to boast of a Liverpool Volunteer Press Corps. OUR ANNUAL FETE. The annual fete to the enzr,/oye'.) on the Daily Times was celebrated with great success at Broad-green Abbey Hotel on Saturday last. Aboat fifty individuals con nected with this paper, accompanied by several friends, left Lime-street Station by the 1 45 p.m. train, and were safely put down at Broad-green Station. The hour for dinner was fixed at six o'clock, in order to afford ample time to the numerous party to enjoy a game at bowls on the green or at bagatelle in the hotel, while others perchance might indulge in a stroll through the beautifully laid out nursery in the neigbourhood, or take a turn through the adjoining fields. The weather was as propitious as could have been desired. The bowling-green was merrily occupied by contending bowlers; the balls rattled gaily on the bagatelle table; and various parties of the staff might be seen here and there sentimentally meandering among the haymakers or under the umbrageous shade of trees and hedgerows, in the full enjoyment of rural felicity, and inhaling the fresh invigorating atmosphere of one of the loveliest spots in nature. Footraces, leaping matches, and various other out-door amusements were improvised and joined in with a zest and efficiency which it did one's heart good to witness, and gave a healthy stimulus to one's limbs to join in. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the cankering cares of daily toil, and to be absorbed by the desire to make the most of the few brief hours thus devoted to innocent pleasure and recreation. A constant supply of good sound ale was provided on the grounds. If the jovial celebration had ended at six o'clock when dinner was announced, few present would have had much reason to complain of the want of a good day's amusement; but the fun was only about to commence. The numerous party then collected in the spacious and well lighted dining-room, on whose long and broad board was spread one of the most sub stantial and elegant repasts at which a well appetised company could desire to sit down. Enormous sirloin roasts, and other equally satisfying dishes, rapidly dis appeared, leaving only the great staring bones to tell the tale of what they had been. Round after round disap peared, and no halt was called until it was incontrovert ably manifest that every man around the festive board cried " Hold ! enough." The cloth having been drawn, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given from the chair and heartily responded to. A gentleman guest, of long standing connection with the press of Liverpool, gracefully proposed " Success to the Daily Times," coupled with the name of its proprietor ; and various other toasts followed, accompanied by suitable airs, sung by various members of the company. The toast of " the Press of Liverpool" was enthusiastically received, and eloquently responded to by the representative of a daily contemporary. The fleeting hours glided merrily past under the influence of good cheer, enlivened by laughter-provoking speeches, songs, anecdotes, recita tions, and animated conversation, until approaching midnight brought the entertainment reluctantly but necessarily to a close. We have seen not a few such festivals, but never have we been present at one where greater geniality of sentiment, or heartier goodwill and unanimity prevailed throughout, from the oldest to the youngest present. If there was one regret felt, it was only at the necessity for breaking up ; and if there was one toast more cordially received than another, it was the concluding one—" To our next annual file." In short, the day's proceedings went off with the greatest eclat, and not a single incident occurred to mar the enjoy ment of the celebration. We cannot but think that meetings of this kind have the best effect in promoting mutual good feeling between employers and employe's; and that they are especially calculated to exercise a beneficial influence in the successful working of such establishments as our own.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENGE FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PAttis, Saturday, Sept. 16, 1860. The withdrawal of Baron, Talleyrand from Turin does not appear to have produced any great sensation in that capital of the new Italian king dom, where it is distinctly asserted that, down to the 10th instant, the Governments of France and Piedmont were perfectly at one, that the Emperor expressed his approval of the formation of the military camps on the frontiers of Tuscany and the Romagnas ; and that he was perfectly aware that, in order to prevent Mazzini and the chief of his party from gaining ground, King Victor Em manuel had no other alternative but to send the message which he did to the Pontifical Govern ment calling ; upon it to disband its foreign mer• cenaries. These facts are, it is said, well known, and are very plainly expressed at Turin, notwith standing the semi-official denials which they meet with here. The two sets of statements, therefore, can only be reconciled by the supposition that the Emperor found occasion at the last moment to change his opinion of the state of affairs ; but that the Sardinian ultimatum to the Pope - had been dispatched before the news of this change of policy arrived, and it had thus become too late to arrest the onward course of events, so that nothing remained, but for France to go through the form of modifying the footing on which its diplomatic relations were carried on with the Sardinian Government. There is also a rumour, I must add, that concur rently with the recall of M. de Talleyrand, a corps of 30,000 men has been concentrated by the j French Government in Savoy, in order to counter balance similar concentrations of Austrians at Bogoforte. In these circumstances, therefore, everything will depend on the good sense and moderation of the Sardinian Government. France will go no further than she has done, and Austria, which has recently given unmistakeable proof of their being at length amenable to reason, and ready to be guided by the dictates of a little common sense, will, as I have previously said, limit herself strictly to a defensive attitude behind the Mincio. The (truly of General Lamoriciere, the bulk of which is concentrated in Ancona, consists of at least 30,000 men. Recent accounts have very much under-estimated its strength; but although such a force might have held out for some time against the comparatively irregular lines of Gari baldian Volunteers, it goes for nothing in pre sence of the overwhelming numbers which Victor Emmanuel has now thrown into the Papal territories. Besides, it is asserted that the " Italian fleet," under the command of Admiral Persano, had received orders to roliclezvous • off Ancona, and to attack the fortifications by sea. This place, if it were much stronger than it is, could never hold out against this double aitack_ it must fall, and that speedily; and once it has succumbed, there is an end to the last spark of resistance in the Marches and Umbria. Garibaldi, as the new master at Naples, is exercising in that enpitai all the acts of sovereignty. riitting aside all those who had advanced claims to share with him the fruits of his brilliant campaign, he has assumed the re sponsibility supreme power; and he is exer cising it, it must be said, to his everlasting honour, with extreme and most praiseworthy moderation. A supplement to the official journal of the Two Sicilies contains a number of additional appoint. ments to minor offices in the new Government which are all conferred on known Annexationists, and meet with the entire approval of the Sar dinian Government. The Mazzinists are " no where." The Marquis Camille Caraciolo de Bella, brother of the former Minister, Prince Torrello, the Chevalier Carlo Cataneo, and the Chevalier Silvestro Lopardi have been respectivelyappointed ambassadors from the new Government, to the Courts of St. James, the Tuilierics, and Turin. It is scarcely necessary to add—though, after what has been said on the subject, to the prrjudice of the Sar dinian Government, it is only fair to do so—that M. Cavour had no occasion, and has no intention to sand any Sardinian troops to be quartered in Naples so long as the reins of government are wielded by the Dictator. It has also been ascer- tained that M. Cavour wrote to Garibaldi, a few days before it was probable the latter would enter Naples, pointing out how much more necessary than ever it had become to the success of the revolution, that a good understanding should be established between them, and this sentiment was, I understand, at once most cordially recipro cated by the Dictator. The Emperor and Empress have arrived at Ajaccio from Nice. They disembarked, accordunr, to the evening papers, amidst the enthusiasm of the inhabitants, who had come . from all parts of the country to receive them. His Imperial Ma jesty entered Nice on the 12th, at eleven o'clock. The Emperor is said to have been visibly moved by the warmth of his reception, and the demean our of the Empress is described as having made a most favourable impression on all the members of her own sex in her newly-acquired territory. "Comme elle est graeieuse! Comte elle dolt etre bonne !'"fhe former of these expressions is the highest compliment that can be paid by the ladies to their own sex ; and they derive, in my eyes, at least, additional im portance from their having been applied uni versally by thousands of„the fair Parisiennes in my hearing to her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, when Her Majesty pasSed along the crowded boulevards of this capital, in 1855. At Toulon, the authorities expended £40,000 in the feting and entertainment of their Majesties. Queen Isabella, has set out upon her travels also. She landed at Majorca on the 12th, after having been extremely well received in Barcelona. A letter from Madrid states that a project was under consideration in Barcelona of forming a corps of juvenile volunteers, at the age of from ten to twelve, to act as a guard of honour to the Prince of the Asturias. It seems, therefore, that the Spanish nation is about to " play at" volunteers as well as at soldiers. It is still a long way off the right to have a representative in the Council of the Great Powers. Some highly interesting facts will shortly be made public, resulting from the exploring expedi tion sent by the Emperor in the latter end of the year 1859, to explore the Red Sea and its banks. It was under the command of a Captain Russel, and the scientific .objects of the exploring party were entrusted to the skill of M. A. Courlon, a naval surgeon of the first class. His report has special relation to the natural history and sanitary state of the districts which border this famous gulf. The discvery of another small planet by M. Chacornac has been announced in the constella tion of "la Baleine." It has the brilliancy Qf a star of the ninth or tenth magnitude. At the Bourse there was at the closing to-day a slight improvement, but so long as there is 6o little business doing the advance is not likely to be increased. The closing price of the Rentes was 67f. 90c. IT ALY• (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MILAN, Sept. 12. The political events of Italy have, within the last three days, followed each other with such rapidity, and all of such vital importance for the riseth t e he f r u e t f t: o r m e c thatoicsglue precluded p likely resen to and a am m ces that are giving you in this letter other intelligence than what has occurred here since Monday last. About two in the afternoon, the official news of the triumphant entry of Garibaldi into the Neapolitan capital was publicly announced by large bills issued by the municipality and posted in every part of the city, around which, in an instant, were crowded scores of men, women, and children, whose eyes, beaming with delight, and flushed faces evinced the quick and joyful throbs of their Italian hearts. In the twinkling of an eye the Duomo of Milan was dressed out with hundreds of banners and streamers of the gayest colours, bearing the arms of the House of Savoy, and above these was planted, below the figure of the Virgin, an immense tri-coloured flag, proudly waving its gay colours as the the symbol of Italian independence. The Cathedral thus decked gave it the appearance of a monster ship in full gala. In another moment the great bells of the Duomo thundered forth the sonorous tones, which was the signal for the inhabitants of the Piazzo to decorate their balconies with every colour and variety of tapestry and tri-coloured banners, which example was followed by all the houses in the Corso and adjoining streets,. with • a rapidity that resembled some of the tricks we see in a Christmas pantomime. The merry peals of bells of the Duomo were almost as quickly taken up V Ir THE DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1860. by all the churches of the city, giving us a very noisy, but not very harmonious concert. Crowds of people rushed into the Corso, bands paraded the principal streets playing the most lively and soul-stirring national airs, operatives threw up their work, joined the crowds marching after the bands, and filling the air with those shouts which the ear could tell came from the heart, " Viva !" " Viva Vittorio Emmanuele !" " Viva Garibaldi !" " Viva l'Jnione !" This scene brought to my mind the following lines : " Rouse thee, Italia! Thine alone The arm to free thee and defend From tyrants on the field or throne, From open foe or wily friend. Rouse thee, Italia, and thy sons ! Though bound and bleeding, thou art strong, And sweep the chains of Goths and Huns, And all who plot to do thee wrong ! Rouse thee ! and, over land and sea, Wherever Freedom breathes a word, Or prints a book, a prayer for thee Shall rise, heart-spoken, and be heard. Thy God thine aid, and rallying cry, Thy sword unsheathed, thy flag unfurled; Fight the good fight of Liberty, And stand—the glory of the world." An hour after the posting of the bills an nouncing the flight of Francis 11., the city was in full festa—lines of carriages, filled with ele gantly dressed ladies, paraded the Corso, whose smiling faces showed the joy and satisfaction they felt in the triumphs of their "great hero. Multitudes of living beings choked up every passage to the principal promenades; and in the evening every house, from those of the poorest mechanic to the richest patrician, was brilliantly illuminated, as was also the lantern of the Duomo, which, under a blue starlight sky, gave to the exquisite and rich tracery of this wonderful edi fice, such an enchanting appearance as can only be appreciated by those who have had . the good fortune to be in this city upon a similar occasion, during the memorable year of 1809. The municipality determined to keep up the joy Of the people, ordered its bands to occupy the principal squares of the city, in order to amuse the people by playing,numeroue pieces from the most popular operas of Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, and Verdi, so that we had our streets crowded with merry faces till long after midnight. Scarcely had the cheers of Monday evening died away, when they were again taken lip and echoed throughout every part of the city, on the announcement last evening of Victor Emmanuel's proclamation to the army to cross the frontier, and take possession of the Marches and Umbria. This is a bold step on the part of Sardinia, and apparently in open defiance of the remonstrances of France, Spain, and the Northern Powers. What will be the consequences it is almost im possible to predict. Sardinia cannot now , with draw—she must go forward, and boldly face those difficulties which she will most certainly have to encounter. A few days more will decide whether she will be permitted unmolested to become supreme mistress of all Italy. I cannot close this letter without calling the attention of your readers to the constitution of the Neapolitan Ministry as nominated by Gari baldi. In it we find the name of Liborio Romano as Minister of the Interior and Police, which now clearly proves that the rumours about this man, during the time that he held the same office under Francis 11., were not without some foundation— namely, that he was in daily correspondence with Garibaldi, while he, Pianelli, and others, were professing the greatest devotion to the Xing, the object of this perfidy being to enable them the more effectually to induce the King, under the accusation of conspiracy, to banish from the palace and the kingdom those who were his only friends. This being accomplished the task was easy, all the power remaining in the hands of this crafty traitor. Liborio Romano, having succeeded in this infamous conspiracy, now reaps the reward of his treachery by still holding his portfolio as Minister of the Interior and Police. Taking all the circumstances that have occurred at Naples since the bombardment of Palermo up to the moment of the King's flight from his capital, it would be impossible to con ceive blacker or more infamous conspiracy than that which has been enacted by the ministers, generals, and uncle of Francis 11. Our latest news from Naples announce that the King is still at Gaeta, but from one hour to another is expected to leave for Spain. The insur rection in the Pontifical States is widely sPreading from city to city, and, if it continues, must end in the total destruction of Lamoriciere's forces. At Fossombrone a sanguinary combat took place between the Pontifical troops and the citizens, but ended in the defeat of the latter, with great loss. A telegram just received states that the Emperor Napoleon has written to Victor Emmanuel, strongly recommending him not to enter the Roman States. The letter either came to hand too late, or the soldier King defies the counsel of his " brother the Emperor of the French." LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE. P ALTERING ITALIAN POLICY OF LOUIS NAPOLEON. The Constitlctionnel publishes an a r ti c l e by its chief editor, M. Grandguillot, ex p lai ning the policy followed by the Emperor in Italy. Th e Constitutionnel says :—" The object of th e F rench Government in recalling its Ambassador f rom Turin is to express its dissatisfaction at the course which has been taken by Sardinia. Rut such a disavowal is far from a rupture. The interests of France and Sardinia, always coinciding, require that Piedmont should remain the insurmountable rampart of the Italian Peninsula. The legi t i mate enlargement of her territory, which sh e owes to our common victories and to the treaties, cannot in any case be compromised." . The substance of M. Thouvenel's note to Sar dinia, which preceded the call of Baron de Talleyrand, was as follows : " 1. That the invasion of the States of the Church by Piedmont is an act contrary to the law of nations. " 2. That it is an act in direct opposition to all the counsels of the French Government, and to the present and traditional interests of French policy. " 3. That the responsibility for the con sequences must fall exclusively upon Piedmont." M. Thou venel concludes by assuring Piedmont that A. tria is freed from her promise of non-intervention by the fact of the invasion. AJACCIO, Sept. 10.

VIENNA, Sept. la. The Austrian Cabinet has announced to the French Government that Austria, for her own security, is about to concentrate a corps of observation of 50,000 men at Mantua and on the river Po, but that she has no intention of inter vening in the events resulting from the entry of Sardinian troops into the Papal States. VIENNA, Sept. 16. On the occasion of the discussion of the Budget in yesterday's sitting of the Reichsrath, it was resolved that after the expiration of its present privileges the National Bank should be emancipated from any connection with the Government, and that special members should be appointed for the reorganisation of the bank. In the same sitting the proposal of the Committee of the Public Debt for conversion of the public funds into bonds of 5 per cent. was rejected. The proposal to increase the amount of direct taxation was also declared inadmissible. frontier no Pontifical troops are to be found, except the gendarmes. Sardinian troops occupy Orvieto. Despatches received state that the Maritime Roman Provinces and the surrounding country have risen in insurrection. Frosinone, the principal town of the province, has also risen against the Papal Government. Major Merode has set out to endeavour to crush the revolutionary movement. ROME (via Marseilles), Sept. 11. The Papal Government will this evening com municate to the Assembly of the Cardinals the answer which has been made to Count Minerva as well as a diplomatic circular to be addressed to the foreign Governments. The tricolour flag has been hoisted at Tivoli, Geuzano, and Sulraco ; but it is said that the people do not intend to support the intended demonstration. Numerous agents, however, are spreading agitation in the country round Rome. M. Merode has returned from Frosinone. Seven agitators have been arrested. The alleged order of the day of General Lamori ciere, ordering pillage in case of insurrection, has been denied. PIEDMONT. TURIN, Sept. 15. The Italian journals express regret on account of the recall of the French Ambassador from Turin. The Diritlo says :—" We must rally round the King in order to assist him in over coming the present difficulties." The other Turin journals publish articles of a similar nature. The Opinione says :—" Italy does not desire that the responsibility of France for her actions should be her shield. Great liberty of action is neca sary for our Government. Those states who are in friendly relations need not, on that account, be responsible one for another. The policy followed by Sardinia is imposed upon our Government by the state of things in the interior of the Peninsula." NAPLES. MARSEILLES, Sept. 15. Letters from Naples to the 11th inst. state that very ardent popular demonstrations were taking place in that city. Many priests and monks had fraternised with the people. A police regulation prohibited the compelling of the inhabitants to shout " Long live Garibaldi!" Numerous deser tions were taking place from Gaeta, but the greater part of the soldiers and sailors had taken advantage of the Dictator's authorisation to return . to their homes. Enlistments of volunteers had been ordered. Liberio will be Pro-Dictator while Garibaldi is attacking Lamoriciere. Garibaldi has declared that he will soon pio claim the annexation of Naples to Piedmont from the summit of the Quirinal, when all the Italians will be united at one national banquet. The Marquis of Bella had been sent on a special mission to France. A reactionary movement, attended by fatal conflicts, had taken place at Ariano. A detachment of Garibaldians were marching against that place. THE KINGDOM OF ITALY. PERUGIA AVENGED.-GEN. SCHMIDT PRISONER. TURIN, Sept. 15. General Fanti entered Perugia yesterday. The town was taken after a hot fight, which was continued in all the streets. The troops of the enemy withdrew into the fortress, which surrendered towards evening. Our troops made 1,600 prisoners, among whom is General Schmidt, who ordered the late massacre in that city. Our losses are insignificant. The following is the order of the day issued by General Cialdini on taking the field : " Soldiers of the 4th Corps—l am leading you against a band of foreign adventurers, whom the thirst for gold and desire of pillage have brought into our country. "Attack and disperse these miserable sicares (cut throats) without mercy ; let your hand smite them with the anger of a people which wishes its nationality and independence. " Soldiers ! Perugia cries aloud for vengeance. Though late, she shall have it. " General commanding the 4th corps, • " CIALDLNI." SARDINIA. TURIN, Sept. 16. The Sardinian Parliament has been convoked for the 2nd October. THE PAPAL STATES. BOLOGNA, Sept. 16 4 From Perugia to Rorneaud the Neapolitan SYRIA. PARIS, Sept. 16. Despatches received here state that several Mussulman officers have been shot at Bey rout. OUTWARD AMERICAN MAIL. QuEENsrowN, Sept. 16. The royal mail steamer Persia, from Liverpool for New York, arrived here this afternoon, embarked passengers and 'latest telegrams, and proceeded at 5 15 p.m., all well. The death of Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Smith is announced. He was Colonel of the Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade. Major-General Sir George Buller is to succeed to the Colonelcy of the 88th Foot. The following appeared in our later editions of Saturday : ANOTHER FATAL DISASTER IN THE ALPS. The Rev. Y. G. Watson, thetpktiri of Gray's Inn, has met with a similar fate hi the Tyrol to that which recently befell the three Englishmen who perished in crossing the Col du Geant. Mr. Watson, accompanied by Mr. Frederick Cork, barrister, and a guide, was crossing a glacier pass, when he fell into a chasm ninety feet deep. The body was not recovered for twelve hours. A post ,nortein examination showed that death must have been instantaneous. FRANCE AND SARDINIA, The Times regards the withdrawal of the French Minister from Turin, as a mark of the Emperor's displeasure, extremely menacing to Italian liberty, and implores Garibaldi not to rush upon Austria unsupported by France. If the contest is allowed to last long, there is danger of the Catholic' powers being drawn into it, with the certain result of extinguishing the new born liberty and independance of Italy. The Herald says there is no exaggerating the gravity of the step Piedmont has taken, when we reflect that Germany will defend the line of the Mincio with her last soldier, and that Austria, conscious of the promised support of the German Confederation, may, by the mere assumption of a menacing attitude, readily provoke the attack of the revolutionary forces. The Chronicle says the withdrawing of the French Ambassador is compatible with an abso lute identity of policy between Fran ce an d Sardinia. The Emperor strengthens the pledge he has given to the Pope, and, so to speak, retires within that portion of the Roman territory which he originally declared to be sufficient to maintain the integrity of the Pontiff. The Post says, that, as Victor Emmanuel's occupation of Papal territory may lead to serious complications, the Emperor withdraws his minis ter from Turin, to avoid the appearance of all direct complicity with the Sardinian policy. It is stated that the Governor of New Zealand has asked the Home Government for three regiments to be sent out. At Lloyd's, on Friday, additional risks were taken on the Cleveland, a large vessel overdue from Madras, at the rate of 13 guineas. The French Government is despatching vessels from St. Nazaire to China, laden with coal, the produce of the mines in the Haute Loire. The strength of Lamoriciere's corps is believed to have been understated, and it is now said to be very little, if at all, short of 30,000 men. • • AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. The royal mail steam-ship Arabia, from Boston on the 6th and Halifax on the 7th instant, arrived here yesterday. She brings seventy-two passen gers, 561,241, and 5,000 in specie. The City of Manchester and Palestine had arrived out. September 10th, lat. 49 14 N, lon. 40 15 W. At nine a.m. passed the English barque Queen, bound West. The Prince of Wales reached Brook Ville, where he was received with the usual distinction. Some troubles being anticipated on the Prince's arrival at Toronto, in consequence of the long standing quarrels between the Orangemen and the Catholics, the Prince has properly signified his determination not to countenance any ovation in which religious or political predilections of any party are made public. Advices from Mexico to the 30th ult., state that a battle was fought on the 10th between Miramon and Degollado, at Lagos. Miramon with 2,800 men attempted to cut through Degol lado's forces, by which he was surrounded. The fight lasted five days, and resulted in Degollado's favour. Miramon was wounded, but succeeded in making his escape with a few of his cavalry. He lost all his artillery, however, and the remainder of his army were taken prisoners. Miramon, at latest accounts, was in full flight. A telegram from Washington states, that the plans of the' filibuster Walker excites no little attention in official quarters, so that naval vessels have been directed especially to watch his movements. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—The stock market in the speculation share list was closely contested, at no important difference on either side. Cent rals left off 834. State stocks were firmer. Money rules steady at 7 per cent. The bank returns show a decline in specie of 1,803,000 dols., in loans of 1,551,000 dols. Exchange tends to easier rates. Sales of cotton were confined to a few hundred bales, closing without change in quotations. The accounts from the south country speak unfavourably of the prospect of the present growing crops. Breadstuffs were heavy and lower. The export demand was less active, shipping having been discouraged by rise in freights to 3s. 6cl. to 3s. 9d. on flour, and 14 dols. on grain to Liverpool. Provisions were moderately dealt in. Sugars depressed. Freights for full room a head were firm, and 15 dols. asked for wheat in ships' bags, and 4s. for flour. (From W. P. Wright and Co.'s Ci; (War.) The demand for cotton in this market during the past week has been good, chiefly confined, however, to the purchases of our domestic spinners. Prices are well maintained, and holders sell when outside quotations can be obtained. Shippers are doing nothing ; our rates are considerably higher than those of Liverpool cr Havre, and with the fear of damage to the English grain harvest, as well as political troubles, no disposition is shown to ship on American account, and the orders on foreign account are too low for execution. The sales for the week amount to 9,000 bales, and the export for same time have been confined to 724 bales, all to Liver pool. Some sales of Orleans new crop have been made at 13c. to 14ic., quality ranging from good middling to middling fair, with extra long staple. The stock in this city by actual count, on the Ist instant, was found to be somewhere over 60,000 bales. The cotton season closed on Friday last, 31st August. 'We are in receipt of various telegrams from each of the Southern port markets, with an array of figures for total receipts for the year. In most cases the gross receipts are given, which are calculated to mislead y the steamer hence on the 12th instant, we hope to be able to give the official return. Meantime we think we may safely assume the total to be somewhat in excess of 4,700,000 bales—a result showing a gain on last year of over 900,000 bales, and exceeding by half a million of bales the current estimates made in the months of October, November, and December, 1859. By telegraph the following has been received : New Orleans, August 3 1.—Receipts for the week, 18,000 bales (net), against 4,150 for same week last year. Total receipts of new cotton to date, 36,500 bales, against 10,000 to same date last year. Exports for the week, 1,300 bales ; stock, 74,000. Sales for the week, 14,250 bales; to-day, '2,000; market closing firmly at 101-e. to 10-Ic. for middling. Sept. lst.--Market steady Sales to-day, 1,000 bales at 10Z-c. for middling, and difficult to find at this price. Freight to Liverpool, id 3d. Market firm. Sales to-day, 2,200 bales. Prices stiffer, but quotably unchanged. 11-16 d is now the current rate of freight to Liverpool ; to Havre, 11d has been paid. Caor.—The accounts from the South received during the past week are of a very contradictory nature. From some sections we learn that the prospect has improved materially in the past three weeks; from others we hear of too much rain, rust, dropping of squares, forms, &c.; as well as confirmation from other quarters of the opinion that the drought in summer was too severe for the plant to benefit by any change, and that the recent rains have done most positive injury on the low lands in Louisiana and Mississippi. The state of the weather from this time to the period of frost, and the date at which frost may occur, are of more consequence this year than usual. The second growth of the plant is doing well, but to secure any amount of cotton from this we must be favoured with fine weather and a late frost. LIST Or PASSENGERS BY THE R.M.S.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, LONDON.--The Sep ;ember session of the Central Criminal Court will corn- mence this day (Monday), and there are at present considerably over 100 prisoners for trial. There is no charge of wilful murder in the calendar, but there are one or two cases of manslaughter, the most important of which is that of the two warders at the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, Vivyan and Slater, who are to be tried for causing the death of one of the patients by brutal treatment. ThiA case is prosecuted by the Commissioners of Lunacy, and it will in all probability be the first on the list on Wednesday morning. There are seme important cases of forgery to be disposed of, among which is the charge against a merchant named Davies of having obtained discounts from the Bank of England by Means of forged acceptances to bills of exchange, which creates a great dual of interest in mercantile circles. The charge against Dr. Gourlay, the physician, under the Fraudulent Trustees Act, which is also one of considerable importance, will have to be disposed of at this session. The judges who will attend are Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Bylcs, and Mr. Justice Blackburn. "'Tis THE PA.CF. THAT KILLS !"—The Great Northern Railway Directors, in their report to their shareholders, admit that on the past half-year they have bad to pay upwards of £14,000 compensation, in respect of two accidents on their line; and add "the accidents (?) to which those payments are attributable were not caused by (?) any defect in the permanent way, nor (?) in the machinery of the locomotive department." Where, then, are the public to look for the cause of broken axles, collisions, or overshooting' stations? Mr. Denison, in his public exposition to his flock at their last meeting, puts the saddle on another horse, and adds confirmation to our maxim, "that the greater the speed, the greater the danger ;" " for," he adds, " it is the pace that kills, as we say in the sporting world. If we come down an incline at forty miles per h our, it must da mage the rail way ; but it was absolut el y necess ary ( 7 ..) that we increased the pace to—keep up our position ! We have the worst gradients, yet seek for the Liverpool and North traffic with competitors who are shorter and quieter! Traffic managers cannot always be on the alert and unceasingly watchful who have elections and Parliamentary contests for seats to manage. But where is the necessity for a break -neck' competition ?—why set it on foot? Perhaps the somnolent Board of Trade will wake up to the question some of Oleo fine days.'" ---.Arash on Railway Ofoutagt9nicnt. LAUNCH OF THE ANSON. Another valuable addition to the Royal Navy was made on Saturday afternoon at Woolwich Dockyard by the launch of her Majesty's steam screw line-of-battle ship Anson, of 91 guns and 800 horse power engines, in the presence of at least 5,000 spectators. The following are her dimensions : . Length between perpendiculars Length of keel for tonnage Breadth extreme Breadth moulded Breadth for tonnage Depth in hold Burtheo in tons, old-measurement Feet.

A vessel of the same class, to be named the Cale donian, is ordered to be laid down forthwith on the slip vacated by the Anson. During the launch a large number of the swell mob were pursuing their avocations, and several prisoners were made by Crouch and Newall, detectives of the B division. ATTEMPTED MURDER. IN MURRAY, STREET. Yesterday morning the inhabitants of Murray -street were much alarmed by the report that a man had been shot at, with the intention of murdering him, in that locality. The first rumour was that the injured man had been so dreadfully wounded that he had been taken to the Royal Infirmary, where his death was momen tarily expected, the ball, so said public rumour, having passed from the right ear through the brain. Upon inquiry, however, we found this to be a gross exaggera tion, as far as the injuries received were concerned, and that the facts were, that late on Saturday night, a man named Gittins, who was in the habit of attend ing the American Shooting Gallery, in Murray-street, kept by Dan M'Lorinan, had entered that place of amusement, for the purpose of "rifle practice;" that sub sequently Gittins and M'Lorinan, with others, got to cards, and kept on gambling until between nine and ten o'clock on Sunday morning. Then a dispute arose, and Gittins left the place, having determinately refused to pay M'Lorinan four shillings which had been standing for some years. In rage M'Lorinan caught hold of a pistol, whether previously loaded we have not been table to ascertain, and ran after Gittins, whom he caught near the end of the street. tie fired the pistol, and the ball passed through Gittens' hat, having entered in the back and passed through the front, but, fortunately, inflicting only a slight scalp wound. Gittens, however, bled most profusely, and for a time it was thought that he had been mortally wounded ; but upon being taken to the Vauxhall Dis pensary, the wound was found not to be of a serious character, and when he recovered from the fright, he went and gave information to the police authorities. M'Lorinan, however, became alarmed at the desperate act he had committed, and aftewards " made himself scarce." But, in the meantime, the police had been apprised of the facts, and the detectives were all upon the alert to catch M'Lorinan. They succeeded in tracing him to several places, but up to a late hour last night had not succeeded in apprehending him ; but when we say that the most persevering and energetic officers of the Liverpool detective force are seeking the offender, it is scarcely necessary to say that if, before this meets the eyes of our readers, he is not apprehended, his days of liberty are of short duration. OUR SHIPBUILDING AND SHIPPING TRADE. (Prmn the New York Herald.) . _ A few years ago the shipbuilding trade received an extraordinary impetus, and the tonnage of this country almost exceeded that of England. Our shipbuilding was then in n high state of activity ; but of late Eng land has gone considerably ahead of us. For a year past bushless has been falling off in our shipyards to such an extent that they were almost deserted, no work at all being in progress ; but within the past few month s a wonderful reaction has been experienced. The stocks of the various shipyards are being filled, freights have gone up consi derably ; in fact, the demand for ships exceeds the supply. The shipping business to California, to China, and to Europe, is in a prosperous condition. No doubt much of this is the result of our abundant harvests, coupled with the prospective necessities of Europe for American breadstuffs in the event of a scarcity there, which is now more than probable, owing to the partial failure of the crops in Great Britain and Ireland. It is past peradventure that the reason why England got in advance of us in tonnage was because she built more propellers than we did, and hence she was better able to fill the demand. Canvass is too slow an agent for packet ships these times ; commerce is pressing hard upon the heels of steam, and it must eventually adopt the quicker agency. Therefore, if we are to keep pace with other maritime nations, we must devote ourselves to building propellers in lieu of sailing vessels, and when we do that, we shall have the largest amount of tonnage sailing under [the American flag of any nation tra versing the seas. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY. (Before Mr. RAmts.) ME. O'LEARY'S GAMBOLS Mr. O'Leary, junior, is a young gentleman who eschews the common garment called a coat, and he seems equally careless in regard to a vest, alias a waistcoat. It is not unlikely that he, at a remote period, might have had a shirt, for there was the appearance of the remains of such an article about Lis shoulders. Perhaps it would be just as well to be silent in regard to his inexpressiblcs, for they were inexpressible indeed. He might have heard of a comb, but that implement might have been wedded to his head without any danger of encroach ing on a marriage between forbidden degrees of kindred ; in fact, his head appeared never to have known the luxury of a flue tooth-comb. What bowler, the phrenologist, would have said to his bumps is a mystery, and as to his "human face divine," it was a picture for painters to study. So stood Mister O'Leary before his worship. Police-officer 2'15 said, abut midday on Friday,„l saw the' prisoner 0 the root of a house in Oriel,street; and he was hinging dawn bricks and slate's at NO people passing in the *rect. I wit on the roof of the hotise and chased him over several,' and in a short time I caught hint. lie was drunk at thetime. In answer .to the charge Pthe prisoner said, I ,went home to my dinner yesterday, and because I haYl:ilittle drink my father got a poker and began to thrash me.,, i could not get afiray, so I ran out on the roof of the house to save Myself, and the slates and bricks were so loose that they began to fall down, and tVe pollee thought I was throwing them down. It was as much as i could do to save myself from falling ;, but when the polieman folloiVed, I made a spring to save myself, and got up on another roof. Air. Rafges thought the con duct of the prisoner rather unaccountable, rid fined him Se. for being drunk. A LURK WITH A POLICEMAN. Michael Lowry, a labourer, was charged by officer 535 for haring assaulted him. He said the previous night ha was at the bottom of Blundell-street, when the prisoner and some Other Ver,ons came up, and the prisoner. said, " Come and let us have a lark with the policeman," at the same time siez ing him by the stook And nearly choking him. He tore his coat also. The prisoner Triads some sort of excuse about being drunk. lie was fined £1 and costa, or one monfh's im prisonment. ASSAULT ON THOMAS WINSLOW: Thomas Winslow, whose name is so familiar to the public for the last two or three months, charged a young man named Patrick O'Hara with having assaulted him. Police-offieer 760 said, at a quarter to one this Morning the prisoner was given in charge by Thomas Winslow, for haring assaulted him at his eating-house in Vauxhallsroad. The complainant said : This man struck and kicked me at my house. Mr. Raffles : What did he do that for Witness: He Was in the house making a disturbance, and I opened the door and told him to go out, when he struck and kicked the: Mr. Raffles (to Prisoner) : What have you to say to this charge Prisoner : I was going home last night and met a friend, and we *bent into this man's house to have some supper. In a partition next ass there were two men making a great noise, and then that man came and said it was me, and showed me out. I did not strike or Ida him, and his wife can tell the same. Witness : I have no wife. Prisoner . Well, the woman who was there at the time. The bridervell keeper said a man came to the station, and said he saw the assault. That man was sent for, but he could not be found ; and Mr. Raffles said he was satisfied about 'the assault, and fined the prisoner 10s, or 14 days' imprisonment. (Before Mears. ATKIN, Boorat, and IlurcatsoN.) PUBLICANS' AND BEEESELLERS' CASES. The hearing of the' charge asainst Mr. William Armroyd for permitting drunkenness upon his premises, was resumed on Saturday. It will be remembered that the case was adjourned in consequence of a statement of Mr. Cobb (who appeared for Armroyd), to the effect that he could call witnesses who would prove that the police-officers had not told the truth, and that the men were not drunk. In support of this statement several parties were called, and, among others, the barmaid. Her evidence was to the effect that there had been a private party at the house on the night in question, and that the older guest s were invited up stairs to stay after the others were g one . None of them were drunk, and very little spirits were drawn. Some of the officers who were at the police-station when two of the guests went there, said they were very far, gone in drink. Previous to the hearing of this evidence, a conversation took place between Mr. Cobb and Mr. Aikin, with reference to the right of the magistrates to insist upon having the evidence of the officers of the station. Mr. Cobb contended that they ought not to be called, as it would be equivalent to the pro secution calling contradictory evidence. Mr. Aikin thought that as Mr. Cobb had adjourned the case from the previous day to call these witnesses, they should be called. The magistrates, after a short consultation, said that although they did not think Mr. Cobb had proved the policemen were swearing falsely, still as there had been a patty in the house, they would dismiss the case. Mr. Cobh : That is all ask for, sir. DESTRUCTIVE I FIRE AT WHITECHAPEL. --- Last Thursday night, shortly before eleven o'clock, an alarm ing and destructive fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Norman, picture frame dealer, of No. 2.53, White chapel-road, which resulted in the destruction of the upper portion of the building, and the contents of the several rooms. TRoors FOR INDIA.—The Hon. Council for India having taken up the Barham, about 800 tons, for the conveyance of troops, the ship dropped down to Graves end on Wednesday, and was inspected by the st a ff officer from Chatham. The vessel is fitted out with every care and attention to the wants and comforts of the troops. On Thursday morning the troops from the depot at Warley arrived at Tilbury 'Fort, by train, to the number of 269 men, including officers, Indian engi neers, artillery, cavalry, and infantry. Driring the day the whole of them embarked with their luggage. The ship sails for Calcutta direct. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. To-night there will be represented " The Flowers of the Forest," " Grist to the Mill," and " Don Giovanni." The programme is very tempting, supported as it will be by Messrs. Cowper, Neville, G. Honey, W. Cooper, Misses L. Gray, R. Howard, and Goodall, and Mrs. Power. CORONER'S COURT.—SATURDAY. The Coroner held the following inquests : On the body of Frederick M. Lobley, two years and a half old, the son of a cabinet-maker, in Gordon-street, Everton. About a month since the child fell out of bed, and, from its manner and illness afterwards, it was supposed that some bones were broken. It was taken to Mr. Evan Thomas, who said the cellar hone was broken, and that it would cost Ss. to set it. The father paid the money and the operation was performed. The child got worse, and about a fortnight ago, Mr. Pope, surgeon, was called in to see it. The child subsequently died, and, from the evidence of the surgeon, death was caused by injuries to the brain, and he did not think there was any injury to the shoulder, as there was no external mark on the body. The Coroner left the question to the jury whether tie child died of injuries to the brain, and, if so, were the injuries accidental ?—and the jury found a verdict of "acci dental death." On the body of John Wood, a shipwright. 29 years of age. He was working at a ship in the Sandon Graving Dock, and by a fall received such injuries as caused death in the Northern Hospital. Verdict, "accidenfal death." On the body of Thomas Collins, aged 51, who was a hawker of hardware. He was found drowned in one of the docks, and it was supposed he fell into the water whilst in a state of intoxication, as the last time he was seen alive he was not quite sober. The only evidence was as to the finding of the body, and the above facts, and the jury returned a verdict of "found drowned." On the body of a child, named Ellen Darlington, eight weeks old, that was smothered in bed. Verdict, "accidental death." BURGLARY IN WEST DERBY -ROAD.—Between seven and eight o'clock on Saturday night., a burglary was committed at the residence of Mr. Hetherington, No. 42, Wellington-terrace, West Derby-road. As the officer entered the house at the back, the fellows made their escape at the front and got clear off. NEW BISHOPRIC IN AUSTRA LIA. — Arrangements are in progress for the erection of a new bishopric in Australia, the seat of which will be in all probability at Goulburn. The Bishop of Sydney, writing home on the subject, states that the church lands there have become so valuable as to afford a reasonable hope that a suitable endowment and a proper cathedral may be secured. DISMISSAL OF THE NOTORIOUS SPANISH NUN, THE SCEUR PATROCINIO, FROM MADRID.—This singular and zealous religious sister has so pestered the Pope with suggestions of reform in the Spanish church, that his Holiness wrote to Queen Isabella demanding her im mediate dismissal from Madrid. The Spanish minister, O'Donnell, backed this advice, and the noted intriguante was sent away in a carriage, escorted by gendarmes. It is supposed that a similar course will be immediately followed with Father Clovet, the Queen's confessor. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT AT HELMSHORE.— On Friday last another accident happened near the Helmshore Railway Station, on the East Lancashire section of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, and very near to the scene of the late lamentable catas trophe. A man named Samuel Nicholas Murgatroyd had been engaged in mowing the grass on the slopes adjoining the railway at this point, and was passing along the line after his dinner, when two trains coming in opposite directions approached. He appeared to be confused between the two, and to have lost all com mand over his own actions, when he was knocked down by the ergine of a goods train bound for Manchester.

In these complaints, indeed. Holloway's Ointment and Nile are an infallible specific. The Ointment should be rubbed as near the part in pain as the patient can bear; it is absorbed and directly conveyed to the diseased textures, where, acting on nerves, vessels, and guiders, it will arrest disease and seam establish healthy action. The aperient qualities of the Fills have the happiest effect in assisting thee Ointment. Our readers have only to send their address to D. T.

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 contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writingnib, 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 deser l ition. in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every p time.
