NEWS OF THE DAY.

General Garibaldi dined at La Cava, 28 miles from
Naples, by rail, on Thursday, and supped in the vacant
Palace of the Neapolitan Kings on the following even-
ing. A deputation from the Annexionist Committee
invited him to take possession of the Palace, and the
chiefs of the National Guard, as soon as they heard
that the invitation had been accepted, hastened to
arrange with the guest the programme of his
reception and entertainment. Francis 11., de-
serted by everything save his own irresolution,
has fled from his capital and from his army, anti_
cipating probably its flying from him ; and is now a
fugitive at the very extremity of the kingdom which he
has lost, hesitating whether he shall make a stand behind
the well-fortified bulwarks of that Gaeta which has so
often, in times past, served his predecessors for a refuge
and a rallying point. But his fail is irretrievable. lie is
henceforth politically dead. Already, doubtless, has
action been, taken on the part of the other sovereign
powers from whose ranks he has disappeared, not only
as regards the disposal of the kingdom of Naples, but as
regards the consequences which its change of masters
will entail on the conduct of their policy with respect to
each other. In the Neapolitan territories there will be
no more fighting, but the time has come for "reckoning

up " the hordes of predatory and fanatical vagabonds
who for the present allow General Lamoriciere to call
himself their master. Insurrections are cropping out
almost everywhere in the Pontifical States ; Victor
Emmanuel has been proclaimed in several districts, and
delegates from the Marches have left Turin, to solicit
the protection of the King of Central and Southern
Italy. It is asserted that the French Government has
made representations to the Government of Piedmont
against yielding to this request •by giving military
aid ; but this is a mere rumour of the hour. And
besides, it seems impossible that any length of time
can elapse without " circumstances " arising to bring
about a collision; in which case, almost the first shot
that is fired on either side, will be decisive. Of this
there can now be no doubt.

The National German Association, whose mission
seems to be, the reform of the Germanic Constitution,
and the terrifying of the retrograde Governments of
Germany, has been holding a great meeting at
Cobourg. Its discussions were prolonged for three
days. The resolutions to which the members pre-
sent ultimately came, accurately reflect the absence
of homogeneousness which pervades the ideas and ten-
dencies of this body. The chief object of the principal
resolution was the establishment of a German Parliament,
a central Government for the direction of military
affairs, and the representation of Germany abroad.
Prussia was invited to put itself at the head of this
movement; and, after considerable debate as to the line
which the meeting should adopt, with respect to the
present position of Austria and its Venetian province,
the discussion culminated in a vague expression of sym-
pathy in behalf of the Italian movement, under a reser-
vation of the question as to Austria's right to retain and
defend that province.
The Government of Vienna has declared that it desires
to maintain a good understanding with France, as well
as the other Powers ; that it has no thought of coalesc-
ing against France, and sees no necessity for so. doing.
What effect will this opportune declaration have on
Italian affairs ? It is obviously made with reference to
tham.

We commented a few days back on. Mr. Lindsay's
announced visit to the United States. Since our remarks
appeared in print, a letter has appeared in the columns of
the:Times from Mr. Lindsay repudiating any official capa-
city. "I think it right to state," said the member for
Newcastle, " that I do not visit that country in any offi-
cial capacity whatever, and that the Government will not
be-responsible for anything I may say or do." This was
doubtless intended to be very explicit, but it failed to con-
vince the public of the truth it was intended to convey,

and now Mr. • Lindsay's special organ, the Shipping
Gazette, publishes the following statement :7" Mr. W.

S. Lindsay sailed from Liverpool for the` United States
on Saturday, on the mission which, a fortnight since,
we were enabled to announce as definitively resolved
upon. Since that announcement appeared in our
columns, our contemporaries, of all shades of politics,
have deeined it necessary to refer to it in the language
of doubt or disparagement, but none of them have
ventured to deny.its truth. We have now only to say
that our . statement respecting the character of Mr.
Lindsay's mission was correct in every particular.
He goes to Washington at the instance of her
Majesty's Governinent.• He is furnished by the
Government with documents which• place him in
possession of all that has been hitherto done by the
Foreign OfSce in the way of correspondence or nego-
tiations with the American Government ; and Lord
Lyons has received express instructions to afford Mr.
Lindsay every possible facility in placing his views
fairly before_ the Cabinet of. Washington. ... In- short,
Mr. Lindsay, except that he does not hold the Queen's
commission as special envoy, has possession of all the
authority, as a negotiator on maritime affairs, with
which it is possible for the advisers of the Crown to
invest him, while the mission on which he is about to
proceed is one of paramount importance to the carrying
trade of this country." Is Mr. Lindsay or his organ to
. be believed ?

An inquest was held on Saturday last, at the Old
King's Head, Islington, London, on the body-of Alfred
Edwards, aged 33, who lost his life by the corflagration
at the Albion Coffee House, Liverpool-road, Islington,
on the morning of Friday last. The body of the
deceased presented a sad spectacle, being almost burnt
to a cinder. The following verdict was returned by
the jury:--" That the deceased Alfred Edwards was
found dead in the ruins of a certain house, known as
the :Albion Coffee House, in the parish of Islington,
and that to the best of the belief of the said jurors the
fire by which the said death took place was accidental."
The report of the medical officer of the Privy Council
has just been issued. It is very short, and may rather
be regarded as an index to the really important matters
contained in the various reports that have been obtained.
The most important portion of its contents is a series of
reports from different medical gentlemen, on the com-
paratively new but frightfully fatal disease "diphthe-
ria." This disease does not, as in cholera, carry off its
victims in from six to eight hours, but its progress is
frightfully rapid, and, perhaps, more difficult of cure
and eradication than cholera itself. The places where
diphtheria has been particularly prevalent have been
Coventry, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Mer-
thyr Tydvil, Nottingham, Leeds and Mapchester, with
Chorlton and Salford, and also in one of the smaller
Channel Islands ; and enquiries have been made there
into the circumstances under which the inhabitants of
these places habitually suffer so large a mortality from
this fell disease.

For ten days the country has-been blessed with as genial
weather as the farmer could desire, and the consequences
have been almost miraculous. Fields of wheat which,
three weeks since, were perfectly green and bending
down under the pressure of continued wet, are „now •
ready ,for the sickle, as ripe and sound as possible. The
prevalence of wet , weather has had the effect of pro-
ducing a large amount of straw, as well as of filling out
the corn ; and where.there have been warm sunshine and
dry breezes, the wheathas been brought into excellent con-
dition. From all parts of the country now comes
the echo of rejoicing; and in nearly every county
in England the prospects of the harvest are most
encouraging. • This favourable change of weather has
already produced. marked effects. Wheat has fallen
on -an average of not less than 12s. a quarter, ind
every market day it, is likely to go still lower. The fall
in the price of corn will be naturally followed by that
of butchers' 'meat, which is now exorbitantly high.
There is, however, no good . without its alloy ; though
the wheat crop has quite recovered itself, it is not so
with the potato. In this important crop there will be
a sad falling off. At present, potatoes are dear; in a
week or two they will be marvellously cheap, but this
cheapness will be of but short duration. The wet has,
in many districts, made such fearful, havoc in this
most necessary esculent, that one may travel potato
fields for miles, and hardly find one that is not more or
less diseased. The potato crop is in many instances
looked upon by the growers as quite gone, and as soon
as the wheat harvest is over they will dig the potatoes up
as rapidly as possible, and send them to market. A,
glut' and then a scarcity will be the necessary con-
sequence. This is much to be deplored, because the
potato is emphatically the poor man's food. The yield
is enormous, perhaps more so than for many years past,
but the wet, which facilitated the growth of the plant
has unfortunately engendered the disease.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts during
the past week have been of a more satisfactory character.
At Leeds an increased business has been done in the
woollen cloth trade, chiefly in heavy goods for the
winter demand. At Huddersfield and Bradford there
has been more inquiry for the home marlcets. At Man-
chester, a favourable effect has been produced by the
beneficial change in the weather, and prices have shown
more firmness. The cotton hoSiery trade at Nottingham
has been active, and a slight improvement has also shown
itself in the lace departments. Business at Liecester
has been steady, and most of the operatives have been
fray employed in the completion of out-standing orders
for the winter: •, . -

By an act just published (23 and 24 Vic., c. 116), on
and after the let January last all county coroners are to
be paid a salary, instead of fees, mileage, and allowances.
The annual salary (payable quarterly) is to be on the
average of five years' income of the office. The Lord
Chancellor can remove a coroner.
On Saturday last the inquest was resumed at the
Turners' Arms, Helrnshore, with regard to the late
accident on the East Lancashire line. The court sat
nine hours and a quarter, and at a quarter past six
o'clock it was adjourned until this (Monday) morning,
at half-past nine o'clock. All the missing shacklings
and side chains have been found. The four carriages,
which were viewed by the jury, at the Helmshore
station were Birkenhead carriages, anhd the shackling
which broke turns out to be, not one of those belonging
to the Birkenhead Company, but one stamped with the
initials of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company.
*,,,* On account of an extra pressure of adver-
tisements we aro obliged to omit the half-yearly
report of the council of the Chamber of Com-
merce. A full report of the meeting will be
given in our impression of to-morrow.
