NEWS OF THE DAY.

Although we have no evidence to show that Lamori-
ciere, on the battle of the 18th, was outnumbered, all
the accounts from the seat of war testify to the daring
and gallantry of his attack ; nor is there in any of them
any reflections on his generalship. He appears to have
left Spoleto in the direction of the Neapolitan frontier,
but finding his communications with Aveira endangered
by the rapid advance of the corps of Cialdini, he
doubled back upon Macerata, a town situated bet Ween
these two places, and endeavoured by forced marches
to reach Ancona before his retreat could he cut off.
Arrved at Castel Fidardo, he found Cialdini strongly
entrenched, in the position described in the letter of
our correspondent, and barring his farther progress.
Without a moment's hesitation he rushed to the attack
of the Piedmontese lines, while a portion of the garrison
of Ancona, with whom he had found means to commu-
nicate in the interim, assaulted the Sardinians in the
rear. Thrice did he advance to the assault, and as
often he was driven back, General de Pimodan, his
second in command, being mortally wounded while
fighting with the utmost gallantry at the head of his
men. He closed what appears to have been the
bloodiest battle, while it lasted, of any which has taken
place since the landing of Garibaldi in Sicily, by cutting
his way through the enemy at the head of a small
column, or troop of horse, and gaining the shelter of
Ancona in safety. " Honour to whom honour is due."
The "plucky little general" has been defeated, but he
is not dishonoured. He has chosen to combat for the
worst of causes, but he has fought as gallant men only
fight, and France will still he able to reckon him the
highest, for that was the position he held, in her list
of great generals.

11le French EmPeror would appear to possele

power over the press of Tuscany, as well as over
that of France. A Florence journal which hai
published an article insulting to his Majesty, has
been seized. He, however, really seems not unwilling
to let go his hold over Rome. The Pope is, it is posi-
tively stated, preparing for his departure from the
capital; and General Goyon, it is alleged, has orders to
re-embark the garrison as soon as the intention of His
Holiness is carried out. Lamoriciere's defeat is certainly
not calculated to diminish the probability of such a
course being followed, while it is certain to accelerate
the motions of Francis IL in his projected withdrawal
into Spain.

Letters from Turin represent 'that the utmost activity
prevails in the office of the War Minister, in order to
the mobilization of the National Guards. The Official
Gazette, in its number of Tuesday last, publishes a
decree, dated the previous day, which orders the imme-
diate mobilization of the auxiliary riflemen of the
National Guard of Brescia, who are to be despatched
forthwith to Florence. Another decree, of the same
date, designates the two mobilized battalions of the
National Guard of Tuscany for garrison duty, the first at
Turin and the second at Milan, Their departure is fixed
for the Ist October. A Milan journal estimates at 5,000
the number of prisoners taken up to that time in the
Pontifical army by the Piedmontese, being nearly a
fourth part of the army of Lamoriciere.

It appears decided that the three illustrious personages
who are to meet at Warsaw next month, are to be accom-
panied by their respective 'ministers for foreign affairs.
This is said to be the case, at all events so far as Prince
Gortschakoff and Count Itechberg are concerned, and
if so, no doubt M. de Schleinitz will also be in
attendance on the part of Prussia. ,

We observe it stated in a letter to the Augsburg
Gazette that the attention of the Austrian Government is
very much taken up with the revolutionary plottings
that are going on in Hungary. Proclamations are cir
culated throughout the country with the view of inducing
the inhabitants to refuse to pay their taxes, and the
Government has resolved to place the regiments con-
centrated in Hungary on a war footing.
According to the latest intelligence from Constanti-
nople, the Prussian Commissioner had set out from that
capital for Beyrout. On his arrival, the extraorhinary
commission appointed to inquire into the origin of the
.massacres, -and report to the Powers, will be completed
as regards numbers. With respect to the military
operations of the French contingent, it is considered at
Constantinople that they will not commence before the
end of the hot weather, which, according to all the
letters on the subject, is excessively oppressive at
present.

Since the foregoing was written, we have received two
additional telegrams relative to Italian affairs, mit of ,
which comes to us from Dublin and the other from
Trieste. In the former, which is dated last night, we
are informed that a great battle was fought, previous to
the 15th, outside Perugia, resulting in a victory for: the
Pontifical troops, with a loss to the Piedmontese of
1,000 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners,-and that
the citadel -was, at the date of intelligence, still held by
Captain Pottinger—a name which, by the way, is
already immortal in the annals of British valour. We
sincerely hope that, for the honour of Old Ireland, this
intelligence, the full particulars of which will be pub-
lished in
.the Dublin Hews of this day, may turn out to be
correct. The other telegram contains intelligence which
is as incomprehensible as it is incredible, being nothing
less than an announcement that Francis IL has offered to
join Garibaldi in an attack upon Venetia, and that in
consequence, the Austrian Government has ordered its
squadron in the Neapolitan water to return to Trieste.
On the opening day of the Social Science Congress,
the miners of Glasgow and neighbourhood will present
the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird with an address, as a mark
of their high appreciation of his• labours in behalf of
miners and their children.

Yesterday, annual orations were delivered at Christ's
Hospital by the students who are proceeding to Oxford
and Cambridge. The English oration was delivered by
Mr. Merriman, the third Grecian ; the French oration
by Mr. A. F. Millett ; the Greek oration by Mr. E.
Morris, fourth Grecian ; aid the Latin oration also by
Mr. Merriman.

It will be seen that Robert Brettle, who fought on
Thursday for the championship of the middle weights,
has been apprehended, with his second and two other
pugilists. B4ettle, and Crutchley his second, have
been taken to Rochester, to appear before this magis-
trates.

It is stated that Mr. Corrie, of the Clerkenwell Police-
court, will succeed the late Mr. Jardine, of Bow-street.
A coroner's inquest has been held on the guard who
was killed on the North-Western Railway. No one but
the unfortunate deceased was to blame, and the jury
returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

THE CIRCUMLOCUTION OFFICE-OR,

HOW NOT TO • DO IT.

THIS is an age of revolutions. The most ancient
systems of error are being shaken to their centres ;
the stereotyped formula. of diplomacy are being
abandoned or modified; the precedents and cus-
toms of political and social life are rudely invaded
on all sides; and progress generally is so rapid
and unsparing, that the aspect of the world is
like that presented to the eye in a perpetually re-
volving kaleidoescope, whose fantastic mutations
never repeat themselves, and yet are more or
less beautiful and gratifying. Yes—we be-
lieve in progress; and, despite many drawbacks
and much misery, which never fail to wait upon
great transitions, we believe that progress is
synonymous with improvement. If we narrow-
the sphere of our observations to large towns
generally, or to Liverpool in particular, we shall
find, on a little reflection, abundant illus-
trations of the truth of these remarks. How very
brief a period has elapsed since we had our streets
first paved and lit up with gas. The "peeler "
who now stands so trimly in his uniform at every
corner, is a N ery modern invention. Cabmen and
'bus conductors are creatures of yesterday.
It was only the other week that we inaugurated
at Birkenhead.the first street railway in Europe.
This last improvement of itself promises to do
more to revolutionise the traffic and appearance
of the streets in large towns than perhaps any
modern invention 'we have yet been able to.
realise. We have so often demonstrated the
important advantages of street railways; as,
introduced into this country by Mr. GEORGE
FRANCIS TRAIN, that we should think it out of
place to repeat a single argument. We shall
note, in passing, the fact that the Times and
other leading journals throughout the country
have unanimously pronounced in favour of their
immediate adoption—a fact of itself sufficient to
secure a fair trial for them, even in London, at
r./oieN'e: doing P
y.distant day. What. are our own civic
iur
What amount of energy are they
displaying in 'orci:er to secure for the borough,
without unnecessary loss of time, this great and
inestimable boon—a boon to all classes, but
especially to the working glasses ?

We regret to 'think. that in council and in
committee, in connection. with this proposal, we
seem, to be Suffering from all the intolerable evils
of the "Circumlocution office." The greatest
skill,leare, and ingenuity has been developed in
acquiring perfection in the art of " How .ot to do
it.."::Red-tapeism has been in full fig; and after
many months of correspondence with all parts of
the '. world ---,after • receiving elaborate reports
froifia/l.dcpartments of the " Circumlocution"---,
after:itinberlesS conferences, consultations, and
references backwards and forwards, from coin-
mitti.ei'to sub- and joint-subcommittees, and
between each of these and their various officials
and advisers, the whole matter is still in much.
the same position as at the beginning—except
that it has got so entangled among miles of red
tape that it promises to take as much time and
trouble to unwind the labyrinth as it has done to
get into it. In. short, our governors seem to have
nearly reached the acme of the occult science of
" How not to do it." In the first instance the
Town-Clerk is desired to "consider" the legal
powers of the Council to lay down street railways
-just as if any one had seriously questioned their
right. •flie worthy Town-Clerk proceeds to tell
his superiors not only that they might put forth
that power, but that they had long been in the
enjoyment of it, and also accustomed to exercise
it. It is almost amusing to note the deliberate
care with which this self-evident proposition is
demonstrated. Then we had an equally satisfac-
tory and most valuable report from the Borough
Engineer, in which he proved beyond doubt
that street railways were the very best things
we could have for the relief of our crowded streets
and thoroughfares. Ordinary people might be
inclined to think that these excellent reports
would have been enough to settle the question.
Nothing of the sort. What although the Town-
Clerk was satisfied with the law ? Was he to
dictate to his employers Certainly not; and 0°
