Batts M trtigtt. Freights are improving, and tonnage in better demand for India, particularly to Calcutta for Salt, for which 42s is freely paid without consign ment. For China the rates are firm, and several vessels have been chartered this week at our quotations. Homewards from the Rice ports there is a good inquiry for ships at an advance of 5s per ton on former rates ; and 82s 6d is offering for Teak from Moulmain. From Calcutta and Bombay the freights are unchanged, and merchants here are not desirous of taking ships. Timber freights from Quebec have improved, and ships are much wanted. To U. S. ports rates this week have barely been maintained, and rather lower rates to New York have been accepsed but from the very moderate supply of tonnage on the way we look for advanced rates to be paid shortly.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING. In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day the disappointment of the expectation of an im provement in the weather was attended with a decline of 1 per cent. in the Funds, which pre sented a very dull appearance, notwithstanding the announcement of a further slight improvement on the Paris Bourse. mwf The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money „ Account Exchequer Bills Bank Stock Three per Cents 93j Next Account The following appeared in our later editions of Saturday : At the commencement, this morning, the English funds exhibited little reeovery from the fall of yesterday, but there was a better feeling before the close of the market. About £16,000 in bar gold was purchased by the Bank. In the foreign exchanges, this afternoon, there was a further movement in the Austrian rates unfavourable to the currency of that empire. The amount of the remittances by the steamer Pera, on the 20th, will be £324,333, of which £314,541 is silver, and £9,792 gold. Of this total £4,778 is for India, £312,015 for China and the Straits, and £7,540 for Alexandria and Aden. Government, it appears, on this occasion, despatches 464,843 in silver to Hong gong.—Times. The stock markets have been materially strengthened by the return of sunshine, coupled with news of a rally on the Paris Bourse. The improvement in the funds was also materially promoted by a purchase of a large amount of stock, reported to exceed £150,000, by the broker who acts for the Court of Chancery. Consols have accordingly experienced a recovery of per cent , and the other markets were better in sympathy. The rebound was especially observable in British railway stocks, which yesterday were rather severely depressed through speculative realisations. The discount market was active and rather tight, and no business was done below 4 per cent. The applications at the Bank were considerable. Private advices report an abundant supply of money on the Bourse, but this is not a very healthy indication. The moneyed are willing to lend for short periods, but loth to invest. The French Government is said to be supporting the Rentes as much as possible, with a view to an ultimate loan to defray the cost of the China and Syrian expeditions. Owing to the continued firmness of the foreign exchanges the demand for gold for exportation has slackened. The Agincourt has arrived from Melbourne with £174,500 in gold. The Vigo and Bremen are also reported from New York, the former with £84,000, and the latter with £36,000 in Mexican dollars for England.—Daily News, In the LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to day British Stocks in most instances experienced a reduction of from toy per cent., and very little business was done. Canadas were steady. The market closed at the following prices : Ambergate, Not., & East. Junction 6f : 7 Caledonians Dutch Rhenish . Eastern Counties East Lancashire Edinburgh & Glasgow . . .

The following appeared in our later editions of Saturday . The railway market has shown increased buoyancy, especially during the latest hours of business.—Times. It is officially announced that the proposed dividend on the stock of the Eastern Counties Railway Company will be at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum. We are requested to state that no applications will be received for shares in the Gellivara Company after two o'clock on Monday neat. —Daily News.

ORATEnNu, August 19.---Arrived: Emulous, from Malaga NEWS OF THE DAY. It was recently announced by one of our foregn cor respondents that her Majesty the Queen was to meet the Prince Regent of Prussia at Coburg next month. A telegram received yesterday evening informs us that the Emperor of Austria is likewise to be of the party. It is satisfactory to observe that the present Govern ment has for once taken a right course, and carried its pint, in a matter of continental policy. On the repre sentation of the English Cabinet, all further negotiations for including Spain in the coterie of the Great Powers are to cease. There is no additional intelligence from Naples. Down to the latest accounts the city continued tranquil, and if the state of siege has been proclaimed, it has made no impression. The preparations for its defence are being continued, and a recent telegram states that there has been a further disembarkation on the mainland, of Gari baldians, who have been joined by the inhabitants in considerable force. The Prince of Syracuse (Count d'Aquila) and the Princess may be shortly expected in London. The non-intervention principle still continues to be acted upon by the Great Powers, and Austria and Sar dinia continue their preparations for any eventuality. Bologna is pronounced as being fit to stand any siege. It was at one time supposed that Achmet Pasha, who was sent home to Constantinople by Fuad Pasha, on account of his complicity in the massacres in Syria, was to escape punishment, but we are glad to observe that such is not the case. He has been publicly disgraced and degraded by the Turkish Minister at War, in presence of the army drawn up in order of battle. His sabre was broken ;over his head, he was stripped of all his decorations one after another, and his epaulettes and the embroidery on his uniform, including even the buttons, were torn off. After which, the miserable culprit, under the designation of Achmet Aga, along with his subordinates and accomplices in his treason, were placed on board, a steamer and sent back to the locality of their crimes to undergo their respective sentences. Kurchid Pacha, the former governor of Beyrout, who was designated by the Chris tians the " infernal pacha," would have escaped punish ment but for the energetic remonstrances of the repre sentatives of the Christian Powers at Constantinople. He has also been sent back for trial. The Viceroy of Egypt has said that he will answer for the safety of the Europeans, not only in Cairo, where some fears of an outbreak had been entertained, but throughout the whole of his dominions'. The Viceroy has also afforded all the help asked for by M. 14esseps in the execution of his famous canal scheme. The House of Commons met on Saturday, and was engaged during the whole of the afternoon in passing a number of miscellaneous votes in supply. A long discus sion took place on the vote of £20,000 for payments of sub sidies and guarantees to various submarine telegraphs. It was observed by Mr. Gregson that the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company had sufficient capital yet uncalled to put the line in working order. The vote was ultimately agreed to. The vote 0f12,000 for the expenses of the British historical Portrait Gallery was also agreed to by a majority of *7 to *. The vote of £15,000 for increasing the accommodation for pic tures in the . National Gallery, was also carried, after a lengthy discussion, by a majority of 31 to 23. A debate likewise took place on the vote of £17,000 for the lien sington Museum, which was, however, carried,, as well as a large number of miscellaneous votes. The House will adjourn probably on Saturday next for three or four days to allow the Lords to assent to the formal stages of the remaining business, and to send the commission for proroguing Parliament for the Queen's signature, which will itself take three whole days. The calculations, the,refo,re, now are that the prorogation can take place on Wednesday, the 29th inst. One of the brightest features in the history of Ireland during the last thirty years is the success the mixed education system, which owes its origin to the Earl of Derby. Lugs every other good thing, it has had its share, and rather sore than its share, of abuse. When it was first established it was represented as certain to lead to infidelity or latitudinariareism ; and yet, as Mr. Cardwell told the House of Commons on Thursday last, the result has been of an entirely opposite 4atgre, and " there never has been a time in which the 4oman Catholic or the Protestant religions burned so brightly in the bosoms of the Irish people as they do at present." The total increase in the number of schools hafi been 85, and the increase in daily attendance 3,112, the whole number of children receiving education in Ireland, under the system, being not less than 570,000—as nearly as p oss ibl e t h e num b er which might have been expected from the population of the country. A Young lady in Somersetshire has been fortunate enough to acquire a dowry of £l,OOO. Disappointed fu obtaining a higher amount, and also in her " heart's best affections," &c., she may not rejoice, but one thou sand pounds compose a considerable solatium for wounded feelings, 'especially when the lover lost was only a secondhand lover at best. There is nothing sur prising .in the whole case. Mr. Welch has acted, as some men will act in love, with folly and fickleness; and . is properly punished. Miss Cole, like 'all young ladies, ;thinks that her own grief is greater than that of Miss Gray's could possibly have been had, she been the de serted sweetheart. Miss Gray has the man and Miss Cole the money ; possibly both are delighted. Few men, "as men go," are worth a thousand pounds : at least Miss Cole may very fairly think so. We are sorry to-day to have to add another to the long catalogue of hideous murders. On Friday after noon a widow lady, . residing at Grove-road, Mile-end, was found lying in one of the upper rooms of her house, with her skull fractured. She was, of course, quite dead, and as her drawers and boxes have evidently been ran sacked, there is little doubt that she has fallen a victim to at attack made upon her by burglars. Serious apprehensions continue to be felt respecting . the, safety of the harvest, which is everywhere three or fouf weeks later than usual, even by those who are generally hopeful. We had a winter without precedent fur its continued severity. This was succeeded by a spring, cold, bleak, and unnaturally wet. During the earlier months of the year the earth was sodden with rain, or bound with frost. If one fine day invited the labourers into the field, it was succeeded by a week in which no husbandman could work. Then came summer—if we can call the past season summer—fitful, uncertain, ever rainy, ever cold. If the sun gleams for a moment, it is but to gild a cloud which soon spreads and breaks in rain. All our rivers are torrents, and our drains are streams. Even garden work is impossible, and we must rest anxious, but still hopeful, while the fruits cease to ripen, and the rich corn is laid.

THE EARL of DERBY did honour to himself, and conferred another favour on Liverpool, on Satur day last, when he filled the prominent and significant part he had undertaken in the interest ing ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Kirkdale Ragged School and Church. The able, eloquent, ' and practical oration he pro nounced on that occasion, raised the feelings and warmed the hearts of all those who stood, even amid a torrent of rain, listening to the fascinating words of the noble Peer, who had left his high place in the senate, and come down from London at no small sacrifice of personal convenience, to perform that pleasing task. The full report of it, which we present to our readers in another column, will amply repay perusal, and its dissemination cannot. fail to benefit the cause of Ragged Schools,—that is, the cause of the poor and helpless juvenile popula- It is, indeed, most gratifying to find a statesman of Lord DERBY'S eminence and influ ence in the legislature, so fully alive to the im portance and value of such effectual means for elevating the lowest class of society to a position of repectability and usefulness. It is an omen which promises well for our country, and per suades us again to lift up our heads, in the hope that a glorious future yet awaits this nation—that the black calendar of crime has reached its culmination—that our leading public men have discovered the weak point of our criminal system and determined the means for its cure. A few such logical demonstrations and spirit-stirring appeals are all that is needed to arouse society to a sense of what is required of it in this matter, and to persuade the Government to do justice to Ragged Schools in the apportion nient of the sumptuous annual grant for education. We must not omit our weed of praise to the Rev. T. MAJOR LESTER, with whom originated the project, which was so far consummated on Satur day last. That day's proceedings must have been an ample reward to him for many months of unceasing anxiety and toil in this good cause, as its recol lection will doubtless afford him abundant encou ragement to persevere in his arduous task. Ragged and industrial schools are among the greatest social-economic diseoveries of the age we live in. Nine-tenths of our criminal population are found to consist of those whose early educa tion and industrial training have been entirely neglected, and who have grown up in such a wild and wholly untutored condition, that they have had scarcely any alternative left them but that which lies between starvation on the one hand, and the adoption of depraved and vicious courses of life on the other. Helplessly outcast, uncared for, and ignorant, they sooner or later find them selves caught in the meshes of a transgressed law. While thus taking cognisance only of the ripened and matured offender, we may be said only to prune the branches of the noxious tree, leaving its vigorous roots untouched. Ragged and In dustrial Schools propose to strike at once at the root. They do this by gently enlisting the sympathies of unconvicted juvenile vagrants by dealing with them before habits of vice h ave been acquired or confirmed ; by conveying to them an elementary education, and by trainin g them to a practical knowledge of some trade or handicraft whereby, in after years, they may be enabled to earn an honest livelihood. These chil dren are plainly but comfortably fed, and in the evening are set free, to seek the shelter of any home they may possess ; and thus, while left in the enjoyment of that perfect freedom which is so dear even to the young, a bond of attach ment is established between the pupils and the school, which invariably proves powerful enough to prevent any considerable amount of desertion. In numberless instances, moreover, it has been found that the children, on their return to their wretched hovels called home, have, by the simple narration of what they have heard, seen, and learned at school during the day, exer cised a marked and beneficial influence upon those with whom they have resided ; followed, ili nume rous instances, by the attendance of the senior relations or friends at the Ragged Church, and accompanied by decided evidence of reformation among those who forinerly seemed lost, not merely to ehurck-going, but to every duty of humaiity and 'citizenship. Wherever these institution; have been wrought mat to any decided extent, tie effect upon the prison calendar has been most marked —juvenile crime having been thereby recuced in some places to one-sixth of what it was a few years previously._ The cost of these educational insti tutions is comparatively trifling. Their success everywhere has been unequivocal and canplete. To enable them thoroughly to accompli' their mission, they have only to be multiplid until they gtain a strength of numbers and ayanisa tion which shall bp eoupitensvrate with field they occapy. Funds are \vented. In this impor tant respect the Government may have been wanting in its duty—and we must not ease to remind them of their shortcomings ; bit let not this form an excuse, in the meantime, fr with holding voluntary aid to one of the most eumane and useful institutions of the day. tion.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. _ 4v FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORREsPONDENT.) SUNDAY, August 19. The Presse and other journals contain further interesting details of the various unsuccessful attempts which have been made by the Garibal dians to effect a landing on the Calabrian coast, previously to the night of the 11th. By that time Garibaldi had completely fortified- Cape Faro, an important strategical position, situated at the point at which Sicily approaches nearest to Calabria. He has erected a small battery of rifle cannon, by means of which he is able to pre vent every kind of communication between the Neapolitan fleet and the citadel of Messina, which, it must be kept in mind, is still in the power of the Neapolitans. The operations for the disem barkation were directed by the Dictator himself, who was on board the City of Aberdeen, along with his staff. Other expeditions are spoken of as having been launched, the same night, against Azzerello, San Giovanni, and at Cana miele, but the utmost secrecy is maintained re garding all the movements of the troops, which are in contemplation. " Judging, however," says one of the correspondents of the Pi.esse, " from the number of troops now concentrated at Faro, and the number of steamers collected, we must be on the eve of some great general movement." A Calabrian has been arrested at Faro, who confessed that he had been sent to assassinate the Dictator ; but it is remarked that this mission would be a very difficult one to accomplish, as the person of Garibaldi is constantly guarded by officers who are devoted to him, and who must first be cut to pieces before he could be reached. When the arrest of the miscreant was first com municated to the General, he merely smiled in his own peculiar way, and said, " Poor wretch, I am sorry for him." Garibaldi, it is said, left imme diately afserwards, in a small aciso steamer, for the neighbourhood of Naples, for the purpose of fixing on the best point of disembarkation for a force of eight or ten thousand men. What the effect will be, on his plans, of the dis solution of the electoral committees, with whom he was in communication, and the postponement of the elections which they were energetically engaged in making as favourable as possible for the annexation of Piedmont—their candidates being Garibaldi, Colonel Turr, Colonel Medici, Nino Bixio, Carini, and Baron Poerio—it is not at all easy to conjecture. In the first instance, he had demanded, that before he appeared at Naples at the head of his victorious troops, the Neapolitans should rise en masse ; next, that he should not be called upon to act until after a vote of the new parliament should have pronounced in his favour. The first plan was found incon venient of execution, and the second one has become impossible, owing to the indefinite postponement of the elections, so that there is nothing left for him but either to forego his attack upon Naples altogether, or to precipitate matters by an immediate landing of his troops in the neighbourhood of that city. The former of these courses will certainly not be followed, and if the latter be adopted, it is by no means easy to predict the issue of the strife. Francis 11. now wishes either to fall with the Constitution, or to be saved by it. M. Manna has been entertained by M. Thou - venel at a grand banquet ; and Prince Metternich, it seems, paid a visit to the Emperor at the camp before His Majesty's return to Paris. It is re ported that at this interview the Prince was assured by the Emperor in the most explicit manner that. Austria would be entitled, by way of reprisal, in the event of being attacked, to recommence the war in Central Italy, even to the extent of adopting the offensive in her turn, for the complete restoration of the authority of the Pope in the Romagnas and the princes of the minor states represcr.ting her policy : it being observed, that in the recent conquests of Piedmont, Lombardy alone was excepted, that territory having been ceded by the Emperor Francis Joseph to Napo leon 111., who is therefore bound, in every case, to preserve for his ally the just compensation for Savoy and Nice, which two provinces are lost to Sardinia for ever. If this be so—and the narrative is given on excellent authority—it is extremely improbable that Austria, whose position remains so good, so long as she waits for Garibaldi behind the Po and the Mincio, would desire prematurely to compromise herself by assuming that aggressive attitude which entailed such misfortunes upon her during the last Italian war. The Emperor and Empress have returned to St. Cloud, and are preparing for their long jour ney. Generals M. de Frossard, Lebeuf, and Fleury will accompany their Majesties. Nice appears to be desirous of eclipsing all other places in her reception of the Imperial visitors. There is to be, of course, a grand ball, which will be given in the Theatre Royal, and the Place du Government is to be transformed into a garden, in which there is to be a magnificent pyrotechnic dis play, which is to be executed by a celebrated artist from Paris. It is said that the authorities intend to spend not less than £BOOO upon this display. The African chasseurs, who are all ready to start for Syria, have been furnished each with a black hood, intended to cover the forehead and the neck of the men. A similar head-dress has for a long time been in use in the English army in India, and its invention is said to be due to the benefits which were observed to be derived from its use under an African sun. The death of the cele brated Father Lery, Apostolic Prefect of the Lazarites, in Egypt and in Syria, is announced. He died in Beyrout, in consequence of the fatigues and horrible sufferings which he under went during recent events there. He was at Damascus at the moment the massacres broke out, and he had succeeded in obtaining refuge with the Emir, Abd-el-Kader, along with other members of his order, and the Sisters of Charity. Father Lery was the founder of some magnificent charitable establishments at Alexandria, at Da mascus, and at Beyrout. In the course of a few hours he saw the hospital, the convent of the Sisters, and the church which he had built, burnt to the ground. His name was much revered throughout the East, and the account of his death has produced a profound sensation at Alexandria. The Journal of 4in announces: that the Arch bishop has dissolved the society called the Archi confrerie of St. Pierre-es-Liens. According to the calculations made by the Police, not less than 350,000 foreigners and provin cialists visited Paris during the late Fete. In order to take due precautions for the preservation of order, the chief of the municipal police established numerous extra posts at diffbrent parts of the city, which were kept by 3,500 men belonging to troops of the line, and to the Paris Guard. De pots were also established at different points for the distribution of medicines ana medical relief; and medical men were in attendance, and admi nistered relief in several cases where persons were taken ill, and who, from being strangers in Paris, did not know where to go for aid. This was cer tainly a most admirable proof of governmental solicitude, and well worthy of being imitated in London on like occasions. The Bourse remains in much the same state. ITALY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) MILAN, August 15. The nearer we approach the 19th of this month, the day fixed for the elections throughout the 'kingdom of Naples, the more violent and insulting are the articles of a large number of th e ex t reme democratic and semi-official press of this country against Francis 11, and his governm en t. If on l y a third of the jOgvnals that have, for the last month, indefatigably followed up the sam e th eme , found their way to Naples, it is one of the greatest miracles of their Saint Gennaro, that the entire kingdom has not been dragged over to the violent doctrines of these republican writers. It is really amusing to see that while many of these journals foretell the certain and inevitable ruin of the Bourbon of Naples—even should the elections take place, and the Parliament meet—are trembling in their shoes least the Neapolitans should turn round and say, " Pray permit us to be at liberty to chose for ourselves," or refuse to swallow the prescription recommended by a set of political adventurers, that are now to be met at the corner of every street of Naples. If the Neapolitans wish to trust to the solemn oath of the king, why should other people interfere with their choice ? The king would not dare to violate this solemn pledge without certain ruin to himself, the more so should he give VP all el aim to Sicily, which he most certainly would be compelled to do, provided the result of the votation by universal suffrage induces Piedmont to take upon herself the pro tection of that island. There is one most important fact in reference to the approaching elections which ought not to be lost sight of, • namely, that at Naples there are no fewer than three Electoral Committees, com posed of the most influential and liberal Neapo litans of the city, the majority being the returned political exiles, who are using their utmost exertions to propose honest, liberal, and patriotic men, as the representatives for the different cities and towns of the kingdom. This circumstance is a very bitter pill for the Unionists or chimerical politicians to swallow : they would wish to throw Naples body and soul into the Sardinian Kingdom, without giving her even the same time that the Central Provinces had to reflect how far such a change would be consistent with the autonomy of the country, and the interests of her people. Is it reasonable to suppose that the Neapolitans are ready to consent that Naples should be stripped of the prestige of her city as one of the chief capitals of Italy, the advantages of her Court, navy and army, and sink into a mere provincial city, with the centralisation of all the administra tive offices of the kingdom at Turin, as in the case of Lombardy and the Emilian Provinces; and . which would most certainly happen if united to Piedmont ? If we take up the list of the twelve representatives that are recommended by the above-mentioned committees for the city of Naples, namely,—Carlo Poerio, Enrico Cosenz, Mariani d'Ayala, Roberto Savarese, Napoleone Serugli, Giuseppe De-Simoni, Nicola Camillo Coracciolo, Giuseppe Simoni, Nicola De-Siervo, Antonio Ranieri, Stanislao Gatti, Rodolfo d'Af flitto,---we have an unanswerable reply to the daily cries of the democratic press that the people of Naples do not wish for the elections, but the immediate annihilation of the Bourbon dynasty, and their union with the House of Savoy. Poerio, d'Ayala, and Cosenz, (the latter after much hesitation consented to take part in the Sicilian war,) are among the number of those proposed for the city of Naples. Have they written to the committee to refuse to take upon themselves the responsibility as representatives of the people ? Has not Poerio, d'Ayala and Cosenz lived long enough in Piedmont to appreciate the advantages of that Government ? Have they indignantly refused to come forward and endea vour to save their country from the threatening anarchy which the many political parties now agitating that unfortunate kingdom, is likely to bring upon the people ? Where is Mezzacapo who commanded a division under Garibaldi in the Romagnas, and who immediately returned to Naples after the publication of the amnesty ? Was not Mezzacapo offered the post of Minister of War, did he indignantly refuse (this is the favourite term of the democratic press) that office? Is not this office held by Pianelli, until some of the returned exiles will break the lee by taking an active part in the Government of the country, and thereby release Mezzacapo from the stigma of his former friends, of being the first to form part of the present Ministry, and which is one reason that Mezzacapo is not now Minister of War. I must be here permitted to make a slight digres sion from the subject of the elections, but which, in point of fact, strongly bears upon the same. Let me ask any man who knows anything of the country, if Lombardy and the Emilian Provinces are content with their present position, or the policy of the Government of Vittorio Emmanuele ? The Italian proverb of Cio the lace non e sempre oro (all is not gold that glitters) is very applicable to the present state of this country. Many will reply, but the great fact of your late loan is a proof of the confidence of the country and the popularity of the Government. My answer is very simple—it is no proof at all ; because, where a good investment can be made at almost 6 per cent. we have never any difficulty to find capitalists and bankers ready to bring their gold to the coffers which open s t o th em a f res h m arket forof a business, speculation, and gain. This, for the most part, rather proves the love of £ s. d. than patriotism, and we all know that this phrenologi cal bump is very largely developed among the speculators of this kingdom. Returning to the subject of the approaching elections, some notion may be formed from the following extracts of the alarm that has taken possession of the minds of the writers of the democratic press. II Dfritto of Turin, of the 12th instant, Bertani's mouthpiece, has the fol lowing :—" The institution of an Electoral Cnm mittee at Naples is running the risk of insinuating among the people the idea that the constitution of Naples is good for something. Woe (gvai) to that people, woe to us should this idea penetrate itself among the multitude ! If those who com pose the committee, instead of 'remaining at Naples and establishing au Electoral Association, had betaken themselves to the provinces and spread agitation and insurrection perhaps at this hour, Garibaldi would be at Naples, or at l eas t, his contemplated invasion would have been greatly facilitated. It is useless to dissimulate, if Naples and the provinces do not give some efficacious help to Garibaldi ; even taking into account the miserable resistance of the troops of the King, the undertaking will cost much bl oo d is a s h ort ct a f n r y ona te a a l r o s n .' g ' Turin correspon eaxntdram letter 'rh The following of t he correspon dent of the Perseceranza :—" From the perusal of the journals of this city you can easily perceive the unfavourable impression that has been created by the institution of the electoral committees at Naples." I have now before me the electo ra l l aw of list of of the the k prin c i pa l c i t i es, t ngdom, with their t N o a w p n le s s ; an w d it c h he om t mune populations and number of representatives for each. Every city, town or commune, w ith a population of 40,000 inhabitants, has the right of electing one deputy. The population of the king dom of Naples is 6,631,028, and the number of representatives will be 164. a It is now high time we should fi n i s h once for all the agitation which is at present t urn i ng every part very of description the peninsula trade upside and crippling e commerce. All classes of the people are beginni ng to f ee l i ts ofd down, o effects, and murmurs are heard from all quarters, which will doubtless end most fatally to the best interests of the nation and the Government of Victor Emmanuel, should this state of things con tinue much longer. The Government, to satisfy the ambition of a few, must not trifle with the interests of the multitude; if they do, it is more than possible we shall find{ ourselves in a very lamentable position befoiv the end of the present year. No one can doubt the noble, pure, disin terested, almost holy, patriotism of the hero of Italy; but if I must speak out boldly, which I know is not very palatable at the present moment, I am obliged to confess that this great man is now surrounded by a much larger number of political adventurers and ambitious men than those who are fighting for the pure love of country. My last informed you of the rumour of the approaching extraordinary meeting of the Chamber of Deputies, which is now con- finned by several of the best informed prints of Turin. It also appears that Cavour and Ratazzi, who was the chief of the late Cabinet, have arranged their differences, and that Parini will be sent on a private mission, and his office taken by Ratazzi. La Marmora will replace Fanti, "which," says the Unions, " his insufficiency renders indispensible." After thi s p a t c hing up of the Ministry, Cavour will then summon the Parlia ment, in orderto ask for a prolongation of unlimited power. Will Parliament be ready to place such power in the hands of a man like Cavour, whom we all know is somewhat despotic and largely imbued with the Napoleonic policy, of which we e r y o poser meet t o With the have had a lamentable proof in the cession of Savoy and Nice ? Should the Parliament consent to grant this unlimited Government, it would strong opposition from every state out o f Pied mont.

The object of this visit is, doubt less, to feel the Emperors pulse in order to ascer tain its motion as regards R ome, and in what manner th4r must interpret the undecided and changeable conduct of the French Government. The affairs of Sicily are in almost the same state as described i n my former letter—great disorganisation in the administration, and requir ing/all the skill and - experience of Depretis to keep things in order ; nor is there that unanimity among the men who have accepted office under the Dictator, another modification of the ministry having taken place, making the fourth in sixty eight days! This, however, does not impede the most act,ive 44c1 unceasing preparations on both sides for the coming struggle. ' The determined point of landing a part of his force is supposed to be at Caserta, and there is every reason to believe Garibaldi will attempt the crossing of the Strait before the day fixed for the elections. The General has now a large number of mounted gunboats, his batteries also mounted with guns of great calibre, several 60 and 80-pound how itzers, and not less than 15 or 20 culverins. It is reported that he has received from the Turin government four steam corvettes- and several large sailing vessels. I have every reason to presume that this information is correct, which induces me to believe that even should the Nea politan fleet and army remain faithful it is quite clear that a most desperate and sanguinary struggle will be the result of this next move of the Garibaldini. My letter of the Bth instant gave you full de tails of the contemplated invasion of the Papal States, and the assurances that were given by Bertani to the Minister Farini that the idea of the invasion of the Umbria and Marches should be abandoned for the present, or at least all those volunteers that were destined for that invasion should be sent to Palermo, and there receive orders from Garibaldi as to their ultimate destina tion. So far from this promise being carried out, we are now assured in the most positive terms by the Morimento of Genoa that the sole object of the departure of Bertani for Messina was to re ceive orders from Garibaldi as to the destination of this force, which would in the meantime take up a position upon a determined point of the island of Sardinia, and there wait the return of Bertani. All the volunteers that have left Genoa within the last week have been directed to this rendezvous. The 3fothnento further states that whatever may be the nature of the orders confided to Bertani by Garibaldi, these orders will be most scrupulously obeyed, regardless of whatever peril may present itself, and to whatever destination it may be his wish to direct ; so that we may shortly expect to hear of the roar of cannon in Calabria, Naples, Umbria, and the Marches. The Lombardia of yesterday publishes a tele gram, dated Naples, 11th instant. which states that 1500 have disembarked in Calabria, but I rather doubt this news. To-day the young Princes, Umberto and Amedeo, sons of Victor Emmanuel, after a tour in Switzerland and some of the Provinces, arrived in Milan for the first time, and were received in the most enthusiastic manner. The Princes were accompanied by La Marmora. At the moment of closing my letter we have received two telegfams—one published by the Perseveranza, which states that 8000 Garibal dians, with two batteries, crossed the Strait of Messina during the night of the 10th instant ; the other is given by the L' Unita Italiana, which says that, during the night of the 9th instant, nearly 6000 Garibaldians succeeded in deceiving the Neapolitan cruizers, and landing in Calabria without the loss of one man. Garibaldi com manded in person the passage of this body of men. [These telegrams have since been contradicted. —E.D.T.] LATEST NEWS. (BY. BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPEI.) FRANCE.

The motives for the assassination of Prince Daniel originated in his opposition to the war party, which aims at complete independence of Montenegro. Fears are entertained that serious consequences may result from the assassination of the Prince. Great agitation prevails in Montenegro, and fresh collisions between the Montenegrins and the Turks are expected. ROME. The Giornale di Rana states the total of St. Peter's Pence, which has reached the hands of the Pope from different parts, amounts to 5,992,000 f. It adds that the subscription to the Roman loan has proved most successful. PIEDMONT. The Persfweranza states that the friendly attitude of the Prussian embassy at Turin clearly shows that the interview at Toplitz has not pre r duced any change in the sentiments of Prussia towards Italy. The Military Gazette of Tnrin aunounces that Bologna is now in a state to resist any siege. EGYPT. A Paris correspondent says, M. Lesseps has returned. He has obtained from the Viceroy all that he asked fur. The works of the canal are advancing with great rapidity, and the nc i tives. have become excellent workmen. A letter from Alexandria says, some Europeans of Cairo, fearing for the safety of that town, the Mussulrup,4 population of which exceeds 300,000 souls, the Consul of France informed the Viceroy. The latter replied, that he would answer for tt , ,e security of the Europeans, not only att CAixo, but in all Egypt. It appears certain that Nqe B:hail, not witness in Egypt - massacres like those in the other provinces of the Ottoman empire. HARVEST PROSPECTS.

We regret to announce the sudden death of Mr. Philip Crellin, sailmaker and ship chandler, of Pitt street, which sad event took place on Saturday, very unexpectedly. Mr. Crellin was out about his usual business during the morning, and after one o'clock was returning to his house, when he entered a respectable hotel in Duncan-street, as it seems he felt rather tired. He had only been there a few moments when he fell, apparently in a fit. Medical aid was in prompt attendance, but proved of no avail, as the vital spark had fled for ever. Mr. Crellin was about 60 years of age, and held a high character. He was brother of our respected fellow-townsman, Mr. Crellin, of Lime street, member of the Town Council.

LAUNCH OF THE AGNES NAPIER. On Saturday morning last, at the yard of the eminent ship-builders, Messrs. Laird, of Birkenhead, the Agnes Napier, a beautiful steamer, intended for the Liverpool and Rhyl trade, in connection with the Vale of Clwyd Railway, was launched in the presence of a large num ber of ladies and gentlemen from the principality. The steamer has been named after the daughter of the owner, Mr. Napier. The ceremony of christening was performed by Mrs. Napier, amidst much rejoicing, despite the torrents of rain which fell at the time. Erected from the model of the Countess of Ellesmere-- whose astonishingly quick passages between Liverpool and Runcorn claimed for her the fame of being the fastest vessel entering the Mersey, and induced the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia to make her his yacht —the Agnes Napier has the further advantage of having been formed on the plan of a steamer built by Messrs- Laird for North America, and called the Inca, which has accomplished passages at an average rate of twelve knots an hour, burning only eight tons of coal in twenty four hours. She is 180 feet long, 22 feet beam, draws, 4 feet.of water ; measures 400 tons, and her engin" made at the same yard, is of 100 bone power. Tilting all things into consideration there can be no doubt that she will fully realise the ardent expectations of her builders and owner. After the ceremony, the party spent half an hour or more in inspecting the works, and then repaired to the office to partake of an excellent luncheon. Efere a little difficulty was experienced, for the room and the table were not large enough to tiooom modate comfortably the guests, some being under the necessity of standing whilst doing justice to the rich store of eatables and drinkables provided, Mr. Laird occupied the chair. " The Queen " and " the Army and Nary " were toasted, the latter being coupled with the name of Capt. CHAMBRES, of the Wallasey Volunteers, who, in responding to the toast, referred to the state of the army, the navy, and the volunteers ; and briefly traced the history of Rhyl since the time when there were only two cottages there,—and remarked that he believed it. would ultimately be the great highway to Dublin, to aolyhead, to London, and other important places in the kingdom. The. CHAlnstazi proposed "the health of the Agnes Napier, and Mrs. Napier, who christened her," paying a compliment to Mr. Napier, who, he said, had d o ne much towards developing the trade of Rhyl and Den bigh. Ife trusted that the steamer would maintain the credit of the river, and not disappoint the just expec tations of the owner and his friends. Mr. Newun responded, concludin g _ by proposing long life and prosp eri ty of the firm of Messrs. Laird. The CIiAIRMAN returned thanks, and proposed Mr. Gardner, of Manchester, •to whom he paid a gratifying tribute of respect in his connection with the principality , The toast was drunk with three cheers. Mr. Gardner reponded. The Shareholders of the Vale of Clwyd Railway, the Provisional Directors of the Denbigh and arae r ; Railway, and the Ladies were subsequently toasted, and the proceedings terminated. THE COURT.
