CUIRASS SHIRT,

WHICH IS SO UNIVERSALLY APPROVED OF,

and it is even state& i,toiititter-froin Turin that
leave was openly granted to 500'iiiCked men out
Of the 'several battalions of Bersaglieri as well
as 100 non-commissioned officers, and to a dis-
tinguished. captain of engineers, to join an
expedition which was to sail•for Sicily on Satur-
day last. There are internal troubles also. The new
regiMenta raised in Central Italy appear to chafe
under the' rigid discipline of the Piedmontese
army ; and private letters from Brescia bring a
sad account of the state of things in that city.
The insubordination among the troops had lately
reached such a height that a terrible example had
to be given by the execution of nine of the delin-
quents, all natives of Central Italy. Austria, in
the meantime, remains in a watchful attitude
upon the borders, and is increasing
the effective
strength of her army in Venetia and in the Tyrol.
It. is possible that we may have a new and
unexpected ally in our war with China. Russian
friendship and alliance with China have come to
an untimely end. Continual acts of hostility
practised by the natives of Maudschuria against
the Amoor trading company rendered it impera-.
tive on the part of the Russian vice-governor to
interfere with military proceedings. 'The newly
appointed Chinese viceroy of Maudschuria is doing
all he can to harass the Russians and intermit
their traffic in the Amoor country. The latlst
accounts from thence contain particulars of moeY
illegal acts and hostilities perpetrated by the
Chinese : Russian forts blown up, whole villages
of peaceful colonists destroyed and plundered, the
inhabitants brutally ill-treated, and even i 4 some
instances killed when venturing t 9 offer opposition
in self-defence.

Private advices by the last Indian mail
mention
that a mysterious communication, like that of the
" Chappattees" which preceded the mutiny, is
circulating among the natives of the Behar dis-
tricts. It is said to have no reference to the
indigo disturbances.
By the arrival of the Australian mail we have
later news from that portion of the world. 'Trade
was in a state of great depression at MelhoUrne.
At Sydney, also, commercial prospects Were dis-
couraging, and several serious failures had taken
place. The new diggings which had been clic ov ered
were, however, turning out well; and the Mel-
bourne Herald, speaking of them, says The
Snowy River Diggings have been proved
to be the richest auriferous discovery that
has yet taken place in the New South Wales
territory. The most extraordinaryfind„f gold
have been made even on the surface, and

nuggets varying in weight from 20 to 70 ounces
have been exposed to view a little below the
ground. Many persons who Were only at* this
new El Dorado for a few days, returned to Syd-
ney with hundreds, and in solte cases thousands
of pounds worth of gold- The Snowy River
Diggings are distant from SYdaey about 130 miles,
and are 20 miles over the Victorian border." In
New Zealand an unfortunate land dispute has
led to a serious conflict with some of the natives ;
but there is, fortunately, a sufficient force at hand
to secure the restoration of order.
The Adriatic arrived at Southampton yester-
day, bringing us two or three days' later advices,
but the news is unirallortout• The new American
tariff, which has just passed the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington, appears to be a very
crude and ill-digested measure. The bill pro-
poses a large increase of protection to native
manufacturers. Sugar, woollen and linen goods,
iron, and tobacco are among the articles most
prominently dealt with. The proposed sugar
duties appear to have been specially arranged for
the benefit of retners. With regard to liquors,
about 4s. per gallon is to be levied on brandy,
3, on Madeira, sherry, and port wines ; 4s. on

Protected, as are also woollen goods. In
the increase on the existing charges
averages fully 10 per cent. on the coarser
descriptions, and more on the finer sorts.
It has been definitively announced that the
Great Eastern will sail from Southampton for
New York on Saturday next, the 16th inst.
Sir J. Elphinstone has given notice of a bill to
establish a test for anchors and chain cables for
the merchant service.
The diminished activity of business at Man:,
eheiter has caused the supplies of coal in Lanca-
shire to be more than equal to the demand—a
circumstance unknown at any previous time during
the past three years.
The rule nisi, obtained some time ago in the,
Court of Queen's Bench, prohibiting the Coroner
of Manchester from holding an inquest on a fire
which took place in a shop, was, on Monday, made
absolute, the Court being of opinion that the
jurisdiction of coroners was confined to cases of
homicide.

It appears that John Plimley Edwards, who
lately absconded from Birmingham, with liabili-
ties now estimated to exceed £lOO,OOO, was cap-
tured at Stockholm ten days ago, but that,
owing to the absence of an extradition treaty
with Sweden, there is some doubt as to his being
brought back.
Mr. Fairbairn, of Manchester, has raised a sub-,
scription of £450 in aid of the efforts being made'
for the liberation of Sicily ; and in a letter to one
of the Manchester papers, he says that a " large
number of offers to go out to join Garibaldi's
force have been made to him by correspondents.
Mr. Ironside, of Sheffield, who is so much of an
Urquhartite that he regards Garibaldi as a mere
agent, has been endeavouring to put a stop to the
subscription in Sheffield, by an appeal both to the,
Home Secretary, and to the local magistrates.
He was unsuccessful, however, in both quarters ;
and the answer of Sir G. C. Lewis to his appli-
cation was simply that the Government do not
intend to interfere.
The election troubles at Great Yarmouth are
now passing through a new phase. One of the'
witnesses examined before the election committee,
which was appointed to try the petition pre-
sented against the return of the sitting mem-
bers, gave evidence on oath that Sir Edward
pounds for his vote.
Lacon had given him five
On Monday Sir E. Lacon preferred a charge of
perjury against him in the Wesminster Police-
court, and declared most positively that he had
not bribed him, and that there was no truth
whatever in the allegation which had been
made before the committee. The case has been
adjourned.
