In the Liverpool Cotton Market to-day there was a good demand, and, with less disposition to sell at the late currency, an advance of td per lb. was obtained.

(Fro;;z T. 4. IL _Littlalak 4. Co.'s Monaly Circular.) The improved . .demand noticed in our Circular of the 7th ult. has continued throughout the month, and the market closes at an advance - of 6d to is per cwt., but again, more particularly, on the strong brown descriptions suitable for refining purpc 8:1. The aggregate stock in the four ports is similar to last month —say 119,000 tons, which shows an increase of 13,000 tons over last year, whilst the stock in this port shows a deficiency of 6,000 tons, being only 21,000 against 27,000. This in consequence has been the highest market, and is likely to continue so for some months, as our supplies of useful sugar will be moderate. The deliveries continue satisfactory and are likely to continue so, as it is a good fruit season, parti cularly for stone fruit.. There is little change in the estimate of the coming crops, but the accounts from the West Indies are indifferent, particularly from Barbadoes, where they have had a serious drought. Molasses have again been in demand, and Antigua have been sold for 19s. Zte Mad Narita. (From T. 4. IL Littkdale cf Co.'s Monthly Circular.) The transactions in this market during the past month have been unimportant, and the general tone of business inanimate, the trade having supplied themselves freely at our recent public sales ; nevertheless as stocks are in very small compass, they are held firmly and prices are fully maintained. The London Colonial sales opened on the 19th ult. with a large atten dance of buyers, and the rates of the previous series were, and continue to be, well supported. Continental buyers, who so thoroughly out distanced the home-trade at the last sales, are neither so numerous nor so keen ; but home buyers operate with avidity, having apparently to make up their lost ground at the last sales— this is a significant feature—these sales are advertised to continue until the Ist Sept., and to contain 90,000 bales. In the market for English Wools—which, from its magnitude and its general, though mediate, influence on all other descriptions, may be. regarded the most important—we have to report a decline of id per lb.—that under all the circumstances, the depression should be so slight, is at once indica tive of its sound 2osition: The entire English Clip, estimated in weight at t the of the total quantity consumed in England has lately been I thrown upon the market, and encouraged by the consumption of the past few years, which has gained largely upon the production, the dealers have bought heavily at the extreme rates which have ruled for the last twenty years—no wonder, therefore, that the continued bad weather, in operating prejudicially to the harvest, should have produced a reaction—and during the next two or three months—say, until the pressure of stocks has been reduced and the course of things more clearly discerned, we may expect a weak market and fluctuations, Apply to Z)tt Sllart Barktt.

M;arktt. 9, MINCINO-LANE, LONDON, August B.—The tone of the past month has again been quiet, and business has only been done on a limited scale— thisis principally owing to the followingcauses: first—the heavy " without reserve" sales - which terminated on the 10th ultimo have not onlS , pressed forward a very large quantity of Tea, but have rendered buyers over cautions, from a fear lest they might be the precursors of further large auctions, and the very active, if not equally pal pable cause existing in the feeling of uncertainty as to what will be the effect of the proposed operations of Government in China; this uncer tainty necessarily increasing as the time to act draws near —added to this, the accident which delayed the ,mail for nearly a fortnight, has rendered the close of the month even flatter than the beginning. Blacks : Common Congou, of fair quality;' sold at the public auctions of the 10th ultimo at is 314 to is 4d per lb., at which it may still be quoted—during the earlier part of the month a large quantity of broken d us t y l eaf sold at Is lid to ls 2d per lb., immediately reselling at a p ro fi t, since which time it has been rather more enquired for. Flavory kinds are difficult of sale, and May again be quoted a shade easier. There has been a comparatively large quantity of Blackish-leaf Congous on off er, but holders, to effect sales, .have aga in been obliged to submit to a decline. In Monings ks no transactions of impor tance occurred. The stock of good and fine Kaisows is somewhat large, and holders appear those over 2s are almost haveand oopae rather an x ious to realise — unsaleable. Scented Teas have been but little en quired for, and low Capers may be quoted at a id de sline—Flavory Pekoes are again ld to l lower, and O olongs, - unless of a pecu liarly strong character, a re neglected.

LIVERPOOL, Bth August, 1860.—The inactivity noticed in our last report has continued without any abatement, and transactions keep on the most limited scale, quotations being rather lower for nearly all descriptions. We have to report the arrival of the Corea from Hong Kong, now dis charging, which most likely, when landed, will lead to increased business. Blacks : Common Congous support about previous rates, whist the fla-voury and blackish-leaf kinds may be quoted a full id lower ; the fine to finest sorts of Monings, Oopacks, and Kaisows, continue quite neglected. Scented Capers and Orange Pekoes, move off slowly in favour of buyers. No sales to report in Oolongs and Souchongs. Greens : Canton-make and medium cargo kinds, stocks of which are much reduced, are saleable, but little passing in the fine Moyune grades. rtk atc#. (From T. 4. H. Littledale 4. Co.'s Monthly Circular.) • We have had a quiet month ; and the pur chases made, both for home and foreign consump tion, have been on a contracted scale. Inactive as the market has been, prices have been well sustained ; and with the exception of some trifl ing concessions in China raw Silks, we have no alteration to make on our previous quotations, owing to the stocks being light both in the hands of importers and manufacturers. The accounts recently received from all European countries agree that we are likely to have a much larger quantity than the two previous years. In Bengal Silks there has been less in quiry, but prices remain steady. In Italian, Brussa, and Persian Siks, the stocks having been nearly all disposed of, and none of the new Silks having yet come to market, prices are nominal. East India and China Silk Piece Goods: There has been but little inquiry since the public sales —the market being overstocked with inferior goods which are not wanted—the better descrip tions are scarce, and meet with current sale at previous rates. Gum Waste Silk, and Knubbs and Husks: Spinners still continue to show ex treme caution in their purchases, and we have had but little variation in prices, except in Italian Knubbs and Husks, which have fallen 6d. per lb. -4.- - LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day there was little business done apart from preparations for to-morrow's settlement. Dulness generally prevailed, owing to wet weather, and the im provement of per cent. which took place in Consols yesterday was lost. The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money „ Account s Exchequer Bills 3 6pm Bank Stock Three per Cents 93a Next Account The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : The English funds have been steady at yesterday's prices, and although the market is without actual recovery, its tone has been better from the settlement of the political contest of last evening. The Vanderbilt, from New York, has brought £77,000. There were no bullion operations at the ' Bank, but about 50,000 sovereigns were taken for transmission to Brazil. — Times. The funds opened with more firmness, in consequence of the majority obtained by the Ministers last night. In the afternoon the tendency was rather favourable, and consols closed at an advance of per cent. The immediate supply of stock appears to be rather limited, owing partly to the recent withdrawals of stock by money-lenders to employ a portion of their reserves in short loans. The other departments of the Stock Exchange, though inactive, were firm. The demand for money was more active than yesterday, and compara tively little business was done below the Bank minimum. At the Bank the applications were to a fair extent.— Daily News. In the LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to day prices were fairly supported. Canadian Rail way Stocks continued in request.

It is true that there is a report of his alleged followers in Calabria having besieged Scylla, but it is not believed. The great chief we must look for in some more extensive movement, of which, possibly, this may form a part. The French press, crippled in its "ideas," loves little the French project of intervening in Syria. The Times' correspondent seems to hit the right nail on the head. He says : —The landing of European troops in Syria, intelligence of which will rapidly spread through the whole Ottoman empire, is likely to have a double effect. It will give confidence to the Christians and inspire them with the hope and desire of revenge for recent outrages, and it will excite the anger and offend the religious prejudices of the Mussulmans. It is possi ble that General Beaufort may be able, as he believes, with his 6,000 or 7,000 men, to maintain order in Syria; the more so as it is to be expected that before be arrives some 20,000 Turks will have been landed, better commanded, it is to be hoped, and more amenable to dis cipline, than those who lately abetted the Druses in mur der, and vied with them in shameless rapine. But who is to keep order in the other provinces of the extensive empire of which Syria is put a small portion ? Is it not extremely possible—indeed, greatly to be feared, that within a month or two the whole of that empire may b e i n a fl ame , an d bloodshed and excesses going on, compared with which the late deplorable and shocking events in Syria will appear but trifling ? Were that the case, we can imagine without much difficulty what would ensue. Russia would claim to interfere in the provinces nearest to her frontier, Austria would pro bably do as much in those adjacent to hers, England could hardly, in presence of such events, remain a mere spectator, and there would be the much-dreaded crisi s in Eastern affairs arrived. It were idle to spesulate on the course things then would take, but we should be justified in apprehending the most exten sive complications, and perhaps wars, such as this gene ration, at least, has not witnessed. Rely upon it that the Emperor of the French is not blind to all these dangers; and, although he could not but let the expe dition depart, it would perhaps be welcome news to him that upon General Beaufort's arrival Fuad Pasha had restored order and done justice in Syria, and that there was no occasion for the French troops even to land. The Eapero states that Count Cavour has applied to Count Brassier de St. Simon for explanations on the subject of the Tceplitz Conference, and received a very satisfactory reply, to the effect that Prussia had no intention of meddling with the affairs of Italy, unless matters should take a turn prejudicial to German interests. We have news of the arrival of Prince Alfred at Rio Janeiro, where he met the Emperor of Brazil. From the German papers we gather that the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin have simultaneously sent notes to Paris, expressing their conviction that the affair of Savoy does not require any conferences, but that the French Government ought to give more satisfactory explanations as to the tenor and extent of the obliga tions which her new acquisitions impose on her: Belgrade, the capital of Servia,.was the seat of serious disturbances on Sunday , when the Tu r ks, p robabl y soldiers from the garr i so n of the fort, which is still occupied by the Sultan's troops, and sailors from Bosnian vessels navigating the Save and Danube, came to blows with the native Servian population, some of the latter being wounded, and some of the Turks being killed. There is but too much reason to fear that the exciting character of the news from Syria-was at the bottom of this affray, and that we soon shall hear of repetitions of it in other parts of European Turkey. The Australian Government have taken steps for the importation of some camels from India, as an experiment to aid the exploration of the interior, for which purpose a considerable sum of money has been collected and an expediticu organised, except that a competent leader has not yet been chosen. On the 9th of June a vessel arrived at Melbourne with twenty-four fine healthy camels, all of which have been landed without damage.. It is expected that a leader of the e exploring expedi tion will immediately be selected, and the party will start soon. Another plant, suitable fo! the manufacture of paper, has been declared of easy growth in Algeria —the hibiscus esc'elentua. It resembles the flax plant, and is admirably adapted for the manufacture of coarse linen, being far stronger than cotton. Its culture is highly recom mended in the African colonies, as the leaf seems in every way calculated to replace the deficiency of rap, so severely felt just now, while the 'vegetable itself is a highly, nutritious and palatable diet, possessing cooling . • - and diuretic properties. A national subscription for the benefit of the Syrian Christians has been ogee ted At the dice of the Moin4eur which journal *promises to publish the names of the subscribers. The news from the United States is certainly of a most troublous character. America at present is full of meanings A diabolical plan to devastate the whole of Northern Texas has been discovered. White men, friends of the abolition preachers, Blunt and M`Kinney, who were expelled from the country last year, are the instigators. The plan was to lay the whole country waste by fire, destroying all arms, ammunition, &c., to get the country in a state of helplessness; and then, on election day in August, to make a general insurrection, aided by emissaries from the north, and parties friendly to the cause in Texas. Their sphere of operations was districted and sub-districted, each district being under the supervision of a white man, who was to control the negroes as sub ordinates. Several concerned have been arrested. The following fires are reported to have occurred on the same day that Dallas was destroyed, all of which are attributed to the same cause :—The mercantile house in Black Jack Grove, loss, $30,000; three business houses at Denton, $100,000; a large house at Pilot-point, $lO,OOO ; do. at Ladonia, loss, $25,000 ; eight stores at Ballinap, loss not estimated. The town of Milford, Ellis County, was totally destroyed. Several other fires had broken out. Great excitement existed throughout the whole of the Northern Texas. Prompt measures had been taken for the preservation of life and property. The loss in the north-eastern counties of Texas exceeds 700,000 dollari. The town of Occaquan, Virginia, has been the scene of considerable excitement, in consequence of an attempt, on the part of certain parties, to demolish a liberty pole erected by the Black Republicans from which floated a flag bearing the names of the Repul.lican presidential nominees. The Repub licans of Occoquan, determined to prevent the threa tened demolition of their flag-staff, or die in the effort, despatched messengers to neighbouring towns for arms and ammunition. They also notified Governor Setcher of the state of affairs, and ho assured them that they should be protected. The Governor ordered General Hutton to call out his command, but it is said the general resigned rather than obey the order. The military were expecting to be called out to preserve the peace. Occaquan, the scene of the disturbance, centains some 500 Republicans. It was the residence of Underwood, who was ostracised by his fellow-citizens some years ago because of his fanaticism. Underwood was a delegate to the Chicago Convention, and has recently written a let ter to Miss Barbour, a lady of Virginia, who contem plates emancipating her, slaves, which could hardly fail to re-awaken the indignation of his political opponents. The grand volunteer demonstration in. Hyde Park was repeated, on Tuesday, at Edinburgh. Judging from the brief account which we have received, the review of the Scottish volunteers by Her Majesty was a display of a most imposing character. The day was fine ; upwards of 20,000 men were under arms ; and an im mense concourse of spectators, estimated at 200,000, gazed with intense interest upon the impressive scene. The evolutions, if the term be an appropriate one, were of the simplest character, and were, in the main similar to those zone through at the London review. Sir George Wetherell commanded the entire force, which was formed into two divisions, headed by Lord Rokeby and General Cameron, the Commander-in-Chief in Scotland. A townsman has made a hit. We learn that the experiments upon Jones's target were re-commenced at Portsmouth on Tuesday from the Stork gunboat, under the supervision of Captain R. S. Hewlett, C.B. The practice was first commenced on the same iron plate upon which seven shots had taken effect during Saturday's practice. Seven additional shots were fired on Tuesday at the same plate, and every shot struck within a space of four square feet on the target. After the fourth shot the upper edge of the target bulged out, in consequence of the repeated hammering upon one spot. The fifth shot followed on the same place, near the upper edge, and it was evident that it was the intention to test this plate to an extra ordinary degree, as no other iron plate in Portsmouth harbour had ever before been subjected to a similarly s evere test. Another shot followed on the same spot, exhibiting a singular instance of good gunnery, anp also of the extraordinary tenacity of the plate, or the correctness of the principle of the invention ; the shot in this instance, as in the former ones, being shat tered into fragments. The seventh shot was merely a repetition of the sixth, the fragments splitting up the rail of the frigate. This was the last shot at the iron plate. The eighth shot was directed against the 31 inch steel plate, and:the result appeared to be that the shot chipped oft' from the extreme upper edge of the plate a piece about half the circumference of the shot itself, but leaving no sign of a fracture. This must have happened under the circumstances of any shot striking the plate in such a place, and it cannot be considered a fair test of the principle of the target, as it was merely an "edge-blow." No. 9 shot struck at the junctidn of the edges of the two steel plates; the shot itself was shattered into fragments, and made a less indentation than even that which had been made upon the iron plate. The result of the experiments so far has been satisfactory to an extraordinary degree, as proving the capabilities of a target constructed on Mr. Jones's system to resist the penetrating powers of the most effective of modern ordnance at short range. The experiments on the steel plates were resumed yes terday, and there is every probability of the results being equally satisfactory. ADVANCED LIBERAL OBJECTIONS TO A HALF HOLIDAY AT KNOWSLEY. "ADVANCED Liberalism" never shews itself in truer or more glaring colours than when its advocates are tempted to dilate upon the subject of our national defences, especially with reference •to the Volunteer sy stem. It is then most clearly brought out that in t heir inmost sou ls they are ac t ua ted by the most unworthy , shortsighted, and unpatriotic motives. To a tho rough - paced Radical there is rio idea more abhorrent than that of this country being independent of foreign pressure ; nothing more disheartening to hi m than to find the mass of the people ready and willing to defend the Throne and Constitution. Republicans, and revolutionists at heart, th ese extreme politicians hate monarchy, --- would destroy our ancient nobility, and desire nothing more than to elevate Cottonocra3y, at any sacri fice, to the seat of power. The Volunteer Move• ment is essentially - --though not in a mere party sense—Conservative. It was the high privileg e , and redounds to the immortal honour of Lord DERBY, and the party of which he is the illustrious head, that, as chief adviser of the Crown, h e was the legislative founder of the present Volunteer organisation ; but it has received the sanction and efficient support of the present Government and of all classes of the people. This is only one of many facts which have demonstrated the reac tionary Conservative feeling of the legislature and of the country. The miserable section which has acquired the bad pre-eminence of having • sedit ! ' - ' 1 onEby endea voured to traduce the mo v ement , h ails from its h ea d- qu arters at Paris , whence that s l ee k and d em ure victim of imperial_ seduction, RICHARD COBDEN, exercises his treacherous voca tion, a nd issues forth lugubrious dissertations the folly of his fellow countrym en on adulations of the Imperial - hand that has stroked him into mesmeric submissiveness. JOHN BRIGHT at a res pectful distance has caught Up the trai terious son g, and seeks to sell his country to the Frenchman for a mess of pottage. "he dismal chorus is faintly re-echoed by a few 11 we - known demagogues, among whom may be reckoned such small aspirants for local popularity as our worthy fellow-townsman Mr. ROBERTSON GLAD STONE. His speech at the Co • unell, yesterday, was a fair specimen of that course energy which • characterises all his efforts at rhetoric. , Because Lord DERBY condescended to suggest to the Mayor that his lordship's liberal Preparation Sand invita tion might be more generally available if the Town Council 'would use th • eir influence to get a holi day, or half holiday, on Saturday, the Ist Sep tember next, when * a gra n d review comes off at Knowsley Park, M l . ri ,ALADSTONE thought himself justified in denouncing the proposal ; first' because of the expense! and, secondly; because the Volunteer movement is calculated to demoralise and injure the people l Most people will pooh-pooh the first paltry objection as unworthy of a moment's con sideration, and an insult to any respectable com munity-. Few men will even momentarily sym pathise with his denunciation of the great and glorious organisation of the Volunteers. Whether is it more desirable to see the youth and manhood of England of a summer's afternoon parading in martial order, and inspired with patriotic ardour, in such a noble park as that of Knowsley, beneath " the smile from partial beauty won," and under the sanc tion of the wisdom, the experience, and respectability of the district, exhibiting as such a picture does, to the life, the mode in which were formed the hardy Volunteers, whose unerr ing cloth-yard shafts won so many battles that are glorious in the history of our national inde pendence ; or to witness the demoralising process by which many of our youth of to-day idly spend their summer's evenings, inducing indisposition to physical effort, and unstringing the nervous system by the excessive use of tobacco, in back lanes or murky taverns,—a vice second only, and too often leading to, drunkenness —involving every deplorable consequence, and spreading to such a fearful extent, that our male children of even tender years seem to think it a part of their education to spit away their health and constitution ere they have reached adolescence ? The contrast here presented in favour of the moral influence of the movement is confirmed by the earnest and sincere words of his Worship the Mayor, whose moral excellence, so well known to the people of this district, cannot fail t giVe them the greatest weight, when he said, "I beg to differ in tote from Mr. GLADSTONE, with regard to the movement. I not only think it has had a great moral effect throughout the world, but I think it has a good effect upon the men connected with it. Instead of thinking it tends to demoralise them, I think it has been the means of keeping them out of mischief, and of doing good, not only to their bodies, but to their minds." The Council were all but unanimously of the same opinion, and so undoubtedly are the people of Liverpool and of the country at large. The names of the small and unpatriotic mino rity who dissented are worthy of prominent mention. Let the people of Liverpool remember the votes of Messrs. SHEIL, CORBALLY, HAYDOCK, ESTILL, STEAINS, GLADSTONE, J. It. JEFFERY, and CROPPER, against granting half a holiday on a Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of facilitat ing the enjoyment by the working classes of the splendid and delightful treat so liberally offered to them by our friend and neighbour, th e Right Hon. the Earl of DERBY, K.• G.—a no bl eman and statesman who,whatever may be the valu e of hi s political opinions, has, like a long line of ancestors before him, ever shown the warmest friendship and most constant and careful consideration towards the people and interests of Liverpool. It has always, been so with your loud -mouthed " friends of the people" —as th ey spuriously call themselves. In the Imperial, as well as in our local, Parlia ment, whenever it is proposed to shorten the hours of labour or grant an occasional half holiday, your BRIGHTS and GLADSTONES are up in arms with all their puny might to battle for what they call their principles. The working classes have long seen through this hollow pretence, and any labourer even by the road side now tells the passing gossip, when the conversation happens to turn on politics, that, be their principles what they may, those Conservatives have, after all, proved themselves the true champions of Engligh freedom and inde pendence, and practically the best friends of the working man. The best thanks of the people of Liverpool are due to the noble earl for the rich festival he has so generously ordered for them, and for his attention to the interests of the working men, in suggesting the half-holiday which the Council have so properly granted. However ungracious the attack of Messrs. GLADSTONE and Co., perhaps we ought to thank them for having so forcibly, though ininten tionally, reminded us of the real difference betwixt psuedo and real Liberalism. This has been called an age of shams, but the GLADSTONE sham is exploded, and belongs to the past. Hurrah, then, despite the 'Radicals, for a general half-holiday on Satur day, September Ist, and a glorious treat at Knowsley Park ! Three cheers for the QUEEN and the Earl of DERBY, and innumerable groans for BRIGHT, GLADSTONE, and Co., the pretended friends, but, as they have shown themselves to be, the real enemies of the people of England ! FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Morning, August 8, 1860. It appears that the French system of pam phleteering is now being :followed in England. One of the evening journals of yesterday thus notices a brochure, recently published on your side of the Channel :—" Will it be believed that, whilst public opinion is taken up with the consi deration of political questions of the greatest gravity, an English newspaper has the courage to entertain its readers with things comic ? An English officer, Sir Duncan Macdonald, who is doubtless jealous of the werkly success of Punch, has just published a pamphlet, entitled Plan of French Invasion.' The Morning Advertiser amuses its readers with an extract from this publication, in which eccentricity disputes the palm with the grotesque." An extract follows of the supposed plan of the invad ing campaign ; and French readers are re quested to observe that the Morning Advertiser declares " that if measures be not taken imme diately to ward'off these dangers, it is ail up with Great liritain." Of course nobody in Eng land who knows . anything about the character and credit of the. London journals, pay s much attention to anything said by the it ' llg Advertiser on subjects of this kind ; but the fact of such a pamphlet being issued by an Enolish officer will, doubtle ss , be used as a set-off against similar publications emanating from the Paris press, of which there are at present more than one, which enunciate views and opinions fully as extravagant. The Syrian question is having m uch additional interest impart e d to i t from several causes. Abd el-Kader has, by an Imperial decree, been in vested with the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour ; and the event is thus alluded to by a Government paper This news will make a great sensation in France, in Africa, and, doubt less, throughout the entire world. Such a reward was well worthy o f such heroism. This Gra n d Cross is about to join the sword which Abd-el- Kader r ece i ve d from the hands of th e F renc h Emperor on his q uitting France, and w hi c h h e placed at the s ervice of humanity with a courage worthy of the highest admiration. * It is thus that our country has been accustomed to act. The nation which k nows b est h ow to conquer by force and by the prestige of its i s , likewise, the one whi c h b est knows arms, how to win 'minds and souls by the irresistible seduction of its customs and its ideas. Out of the most intrepid of Arabs we have, in some sort, made a Christian hero, and the most redoubtable of our African adversaries is able to become one of the glories of France." True : but will this gift of the Cross make him a Christian ? I am afraid not ; and if not, is the distinction thus con ferred upon the undaunted Emir by the gift, not much more illustrious than it is appropriate ? If I remember rightly, a somewhat similar question was raised a few years ago, on the occasion of the Order of the Bath being conferred on a Hindoo, but, if i mistake not, th e diff i culty W 8 in that instance got over, by dispensing with the usual oaths. The Cross to be sent to Abd-el-Kader is to be set in diamonds of the value of 14,000 f. Another interesting circumstance is the general subscription which has been originated under the auspices of the Emperor and Empress, for the benefit of those Christians who have fallen in the massacres, and for the relief of the survivors, the list being headed by the Emperor with £l,OOO, and the Empress with £4OO ; and the third, is the confirmation that has arrived of the persuasion that the most disastrous accounts which have reached Europe of the Outrages and murders, would be found to be correct. The arrival of f unc ti onar i es belonging to the French contingent, at Beyrout, continue to be announced from time to time, thus showing that the sailing of the expedition had been resolved on for a long time. It is rumoured here that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe is to be sent out by the British Government to Constantinople, to assist the English Ambassador. The two regiments of infantry attached to the camp at Chalons which are destined for Syria, were reviewed there yesterday morning by the Emperor, and departed immediately for Toulon, to embark direct for Bey rout. His Majesty was received on his arrival, at half-past five, by Marshal the Duke of Magenta, at the head of his staff. He at once mounted on horseback, and passed along between the two lines of troops, to the Imperial quarters, the sol diers' shouting Vive l'Empereur, with even more than their usual vivacity. General Beaufort de Hautpoul was also present. I see it stated that some serious conflicts took place at Belgrade, on Sunday last, between some Servians and Turks. Several were killed and wounded on both sides. The garrison remained tranquil, but one may expect every day to hear of such disturbances being reproduced on a much larger scale. • The Patrie of last night gives an interesting version of the answer made by Garibaldi to Count de Litta. It is extremely characteristic cif the man, whether true or not. It is really an excel lent idea to ask the Neapolitans for the loan of their fleet to enable him to carry out his plans for the deliverance of Venice. But what will Austria. say to such a request ? - The enrolment of volunteers for Garibaldi at Genoa, is reported as being vigorously continued, under the agency of M. Bertani, his indefatigable agent at that port. It is given out at Turin that these later enrolments are destined to form the nucleus of a force intended to operate against the Marches and Umbria, and that M. Farini has just returned to the latter city from another unsuccessful mission to Genoa, which had for its object the preventing of these projects being put in execution. Another rumour is, that the Piedmontese Government itself intends occupying these pro vinces in force, on the pretext of succouring the- Pope, and arresting the further spread of Gari baldism. It is certain th - at a very considerable augmentation of the Sardinian army is being effected, but I think it most unlikely that the increase is made with any such object as that alluded to. The sole policy of Sardinia at this moment should be to let matters take their course. That is the policy, by which, without in. any way compromising herself, her real interests can be best served. The Prince Regent is to have a meeting with King Leopold next Monday at the Palace of Ostend, where great preparations are being made for the reception and entertainment of the illus trious visitors. A curious case of suicide has occurred here; the circumstances are peculiarly French in their cha racter. A little time ago a married man, M. D—, had a quarrel with his wife about a most trifling matter. Whilst her husband was at his work, Madam D— quitted the conjugal abode. For two days M. D— made the most active search for her; when, on Sunday morning last, he received the following letter, written in pencil "My Husband,—l have had enough of marriage ; and as I don't wish to live in a perpetual round of quarrelling, which I feel would be the case between us, I prefer to finish the affair out and. out. lam about to throw myself into she Seine.. My body will probably be found among the nets of St. Cloud. All that I ask of you is to have me interred." The body of the unfortunate woman,. who was only twenty-four years of age, was accordingly found in the river on the following day. The Council of State has decided, on the report of M. Pascalis, Master of Requests, and the conclusions of M. L'HOpital, the Government Commissioner, and after hearing M. Advocate Hamot for the petitioners, that the services ren dered by the naval chaplains serving on board of the fleet, have the character of military services, and that in consequence those of them who are nominated to or promised the Order of the Legion of Honour, are entitled to take rank as military members of the Order. The decree which has thus settled this important question of principle has just been approved by the Emperor. The Bourse continues to present the same monotonous aspect of inactivity. Business trans actions are of the most limited description, and the fluctuations in prices are almost insignificant. Still, the market yesterday, presented more firm ness than that of the previous day, and there was a slight tendency to improvement in Rentes and in certain descriptions of shares. The weather, which has been unusually cold for the season— things having almost a wintry look—has, no doubt, some influence in _preventing any emer gence from this stagnation.

On the order for going into committee on the Union of Bene fices Bill, sent down from the Lords. Mr. GRIFFITHS objected to proceeding with the bill at that late period of the session. Mr. HENLEY also objected that the bill took good care of the bishops and clergy, but altogether neglected the parishioners. The House went into committee on the bill; but almost im mediately after, Mr. Malins moved that the chairman report progress. The motion was negatived by 76 to 16. A long discussion took place on the proposition of the bill that under certain conditions the city churches should be pulled down. Strong objections were made to the destruction of some of the finest architectural features of the metropolis. Adverting to the complaint that the churches were not filled, Sir S. MORTON Pare, on behalf of the Dissenters, undertook to fill them if the Church would consent to part with them. Appeals were made on all sides to Mr. Bouverie, who had charge of the bill, to withdraw it. Sir G. C. Lewis reminded the House that it was a Lords' bill, and if they refused to consider it, the other House would con sider themselves justified in their unreasonable rule with regard to reading bills a second time alter the 28th of July. He ridiculed the notion that, under the bill, any of the cele brated churches of the city would be destroyed. Sir J. SKELLEY, in reference to the former part of the argu ment, protested against the indolence of the House of Lords, which did so little at the beginning of the session, that they would not pass this important bill in time for due consideration by the Commons. It would teach them a lesson to reject their bill. The bill was, however, proceeded with, an amendment, moved by Mr. C. Bentinck, excluding from the possibility of destruction the Churches of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, and others of the more famous churches, and the towers and steeples of any of the churches in the city, being adopted. An amendment, moved by Mr. Henley, prohibiting the sale of church sites where burials had taken place, gave rise to some debate. Sir G. LEWIS opposed it; alleging that churCh sites in the city had often been taken for commercial purp ose s. On a division the amendment was rejected by 80 to 50. Sir S. M. FETO proposed words permitting dissenters to pur chase a church as it stood, if it was decided that the Church of England should give it up. Mr. BOUVERIE promised to take the proposition into consi deration, and to propose a clause before the bill was reported. Sir G. BARING objected, that if the dissenters obtained pos session of the church, there was no security that it would not afterwards be turned to objectionable purposes. On this point a debate arose, in which Lord J. Manners, Mr. Hubbard, and others supported the view of Sir G. Baring. Mr. Bouverie having repeated his promise, the discussion, after continuing somewhat longer, was cut short by the hour The remaining business was disposed of ; and the house adjourned at six o'clock. The half-yearly meeting of the. General Iron Screw Colliery Company took place yesterday. A dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was agreed tv. 19 TL ex tin Di jec ae ha ph of cc A tl
