Meetings were held in Bologna, Genoa, Milan,

tioa at Turin (22nd September), when Rome was
declared to belong to Italy Man inalienable poises- !
non, and a large party in the country was agitated
by. the hope of the early acquisition of the coveted
prize. Meantime, Italian soldiers, to the number of
nearly 45,000 men, were kept guarding the frontiers,
and costing the stabs treasury, Impoverished as it is,
900,000 fr. • day, as double rations and double pay
are allowed to the soldiers whilst on active service.
General Garibaldi had, meantime, made his inten-
tions known to all Italy and the world at large with
the utmost pleinneer ; on the other hand, he had
been told so explicity by government (backed by
his friends, many of whom bniouaht him to desist
from the rash movement), that there existed •
a determination on its pat to respect the "convest-
tiosi," and to guard the Roman frontier from Minsk,
that it wig hoped he would listen to caution. Hie
determination, however, it would seem, was not to
be shaken. His speeches became more and more
fiery as the moment for action approached. Lately
on leaving Florence, on his way to Areas°, and at
the latter city, he spoke words of fire, and the
whole country which bee otherwise great
reason for discontent and consternation,
way I. a hubbub of expectation and suspense.
Daily a large number of volunteers had taken the
war to the frontier, where depots of arms had been
made, and whither other arm accompanied or fol-
lowed them. From Areno Garibaldi took the
direction of the earns frontier, by way of Asinalunga.
The object at this movement was thenceforth only
too evident. Action bad really commenced, and
therefore there arose for the Italian Government the
unavoidable necessity either of allowing that treaties
should be broke°, in violation of the public faith,
the authority of the law, and the interests of the
nation, or of keeping its word and maintaining in-
violate, at any price, the majesty of the law. The
Ministry performed its duty. Volunteers who were
on the toed to the Roman frontier, or had already
arrived there, were notified to return to their homes,
and those who refused were conducted thither.
Garibaldi, at Asinalonga, earn summoned, in the
name of the law, to retrace his steps, and, having
refused, he was conducted to the fortress of Allman-
dris. As soon as his arrest was known in Flotsam,
it caused some excitement, and in the evening • large
crowd paraded the city, oreatiag disturbances, and
shouting "Release Garibaldi!, The troops were
called out, and several of the rioters having been
arrested, tranquility was restored. The inhabitants
generally remained quiet, and showed no sympathy
with the rioters. Similar demonenstions, but on •
smaller scale, took piece at Milan, Genoa, Sienna*
Pistols, Verona, and Naples, but they were all put
dnwn by the National Guard. Os Friday morning
Garibaldi was conveyed on baud • Government
vessel to his island home at Gloom The offer of
liberty to proceed thither was made to him, and he
aooepted it, he ism without agreeing to any con-
ditions, while in a letter addressed to the news-
papers whilst he was in prison, he says --" The
Romans poeme the right of all elayes, namely, to
rise in insurrection. It is the duty of the Italians
to help them. I hope they will do so, and therefore
say March on I the whole world looks on you!"
It seems unlikely, however, that the Italians will I
respond to his cell. The Romans are in no mood for I
Insurrection just now. They are afflicted and
desponding. The population of the city has been
decimated with cholera, and forty oases CIOCUT daily,
most of whom die. "On the Ittl of September,
mays a recent letter, "there was soaroely any one
present in the Church of San Maria del P.ipolo,
where the special services of the day were performed.
The Cardinals were few in number, while his holiness
himself wore a sickly meet ; he was much thinbed
and looked very pale.' Other accounts state that
the Pope has much aged of late, and that be la
evidently near his latter end. Though a great part
of the Pontifical troops are untrustworthy, many of
them are composed of French and Belgian fanatics,
who would have fought to the death against the
Garibaldian volunteer.. But the arrest of the great
Italian most he most pleasing to Napoleon
who, being obliged to curry favour with the French
priests in the country districts, with • view to the
next election of the legialattire, had given • distinct
promise to the Pope that in case of an attack on
Rome, be would have intervened. It was this
distinct intimation that made hatatzi's Govern-
ment so prompt and decided. But the return of
the French to Rome would have been • desperate
remedy. It would have enraged the Italian people,
and alienated their Government from Rome. So
serious& result could not be viewed with equanimity
by the French Emperor, who is sorely troubled by
Count Binnark's haughty circular.

According to information received. by the A emir
National the Austrian government has actively in.
tervened with the cabinet of Paris on behalf of the
Papacy. A oonlidential note from M. de Benet
sent a short time ago to Paris recalls the engage-
ments which the Emperor Napoleon entered into
at Balsburg for the mainteoanos of the temporal
power. According to the same note the Italian
government hod decided if it were left free
to pat an end to the temporal power. It wished
to act by itself, without the aid of Garibaldi. At
Florence an early rising was expected at Rome.
General Notion's has received instructions in
anticipation of such an event. He will enter the
city under the pretext of watching over the
safety of the Pope ; but, once installed, he
will remain there, and the Rotten state will be
administered in the name of the King of Italy. All
that will be left to the Pope will be the Vatican
and its environs. This little domain will be nen-
tralised, and will remain under the exclusive sove-
reignty of the reigning Pope. His Holiness's
successor will not keep even this shadow of power;
his authority will be exclusively spiritual. Such,
according to If. Benet, are tbe designs of Italy, and
be calls upon the Kioperor to counteract them.

The Pan-Anglican -Synod began its sittings, with
tt eirmeg doors," at Lambeth Palace, on Tnes&y, and
had its last oonsultation on Monday. On that day,
we learn, the Bishop of Salisbury presented •
memorial, numerously signed, expressive of sorrow
at the loogeontinued divisions in Christendom, and
praying that steps may be taken to promote inter-
communion between the Church of England and the
orthodox Church of the East The proceedings, ac-
cording to the amount given by the John Bail, have
not been of moth moment. The bishops have simply
adopted the resolution, of the last Convocation, de-
claring the Cturch of England to be in oommunion
with the Bishop of Capetown and those who adhere
to him, and not with the Bishop of N•tid, and
arranging with a new Bishop of Natal, to be elected
by the clergy with the massat of the lay ootnneuti-
cants of the Church, and con/masted by the Arch.
I bishop of Canterbury. The reeolutioas were carried,
after a warm dimension, with three dissentients,
among whom, there can be no dosbt, were the
1 Bishops of London and St David's. The Bishops
have also issued an Encyclical Lotter in Eng-
lish and Latin repudiating Bishop C.olenso's
errors, end protesting against the chums of the
Papacy and Marobitry. It is easy for this
body to declare that they are not in com-
munion with Coles*, but date any one of them
prevent the induction to • living of a clergyman
who has been ordained by the Bishop of Hata/ :
It will not be for theni, but for the English law
marts to decide, whether they shall induct or not,
and if the courts decide against them, their oom-
1111111i1X1 with the abused and permeated bishop is
established in a real and solid way, which they can,
not repudiate so long as they remain in the Church.
The &eyebolt! against Colonso'a errors will be
equally futile. "& G. O." has written • very caustic
letter to the Mug with regard to the Synod. He
contends that it could neither vary nor give any
authoritative decision on any question of practice
or &solidi*e which any member of the Chun* of
England, whether at home or abroad, would be at
all bound to obey as a matter of molesiastioal law.
The effect of such a meeting, he asserts, will be to
render " the breech between the laity, who will not
be priest-riddeu, and that portion of the clergy and
their followers who are iso bent on teetering priest
power." In oonoluding, the writer says he Is
satisfied that this strange amiably is received with
suspicion by many of the soundest of the English
bench, though it has been powerless to prevent it
