NEWS OF THE DAY.

The Daily News again takes the lead in the depart-
ment of foreign intelligence. It published yesterday morn
ing the following startling and important piece of news
respecting the disarmament of an entire division of the
troops of Francis 11., and the present condition
of the numbers of the Neapolitan army i—A body of
16,000 Neapolitan, troops, with 4,000 horses and 32
guns, being pursued by the Sardinians, took• refuge in
the Papal States at Terracina. At Cisterna their pro-
gress was arrestedhy the Papal and French authorities,
and they will be at once disarmed. It also adds—A week
ago the strength of the Bourbon army was variously
estimated at from 40,000 to 50,000 men, the latter being
regarded as an extreme statement. We cannot reason-
ably set' down its losses by the fall of Capita, and the
battle of the 3rd at less than 15,000. Thus, in less
than a week, Francis 11. has lost 30,000 men. As
we have remarked on a previous occasion, the large
body of troops, refeired to in the first part of the tele-
gram, who took refuge in the Papal territories subse-
' quently to the defeat' of the army of Francis 11. on the
Terracina, • no doubt adopted 'this step quite as much
because they could no longer be of any use to that
Monarch the moment he resolved to retire within the
.fortifications of. Gaeta, as from any other cause. Gaeta,
though a place of very great strength, is not a plate of
very great extent ; and it can therefore afford accommo-
dation only for a limited garrison. Any excess of defen-
ders beyond the numbers required for the defence would,
besides being a hindrance to the operations of. the
besieged, as a matter of course involve the more rapid
Consumption of the garrison's means 'of subsistence.
Consequently, the superfluous troops who adhered to the
cause of King Francis must either have given them-
selves up to the Garibaldo-Piedmontese forces, or made'
for the Roman States where they would have to undergo
disarmament in accordance with the provisions of the
passage through them of armed Nea-
. treaty which secures the neutrality of
,the Papal terri-
tories from the

native should have been selected ; nor is it to be
s
doubted that the operation of disarmament would be a
very congenial one to er of the French army
the soldiers
of occupation at all events.
Another telegram from Naples announces the solemn
entry of King Victor into that capital on Wednesday,
•
amidst torrents of rain, which did not succeed in damp-
ing the universal joy' of the. inhabitants. His Majesty,
in a proclamation to the people of the two Sicilies, has
signified his acceptance of the sovereign authority of
those realms, as transferred to him by the-universal
suffrage of the inhabitants; he has thus advanced one
Point—and a very important one,—nearer the realisa-'
tion of his dream, of being one day King of Italy.
An extract from a Gaeta letter, dated Nov. 2, given
in another column, furnishes some interesting particulars
respecting the intervention of the French admiral off the
mouth of the. Garigliano, and confirms the strongest ver-
sions which have been published concerning this
remarkable act.
Notwithstanding' the announcement of the abandon-
ment, " for the moment," of the projected attack of the

Italians against Austria, the Government of the Em-
peror Joseph exhibits no relaxation in its 'preparations
for meeting the shock which seems inevitable, unless an
amicable arrangement for the resignation of Venetia be
previously agreed upon. The Augsburg Gazette, after
enumerating the various means of defence which
Austria has already prepared with the above object,
takes Upon itself to assure the Garibaldians "that they
Will not easily take the Austrian authorities by surprise;
that the coasts are in a perfect state of defence; and
that arrangements for succouring every point that is
menaced, are so organised as to be capable Of being made
available with the utmost rapidity:
The Globe contradicts the statement as to the Corps
iliplomatique -having resolved to abstain from' being
present at the Lord Mayor's banquet. The presence of
several of the representatives of the foreign courts will,
it states, show the incorrectness of the report as to Lord
John Russell's despatch being alleged as a cause for
their absence: The Globe adds that " answers to the
invitations were requested before October 22nd, and
the despatch was not published till November 3rd.. " All
we ha,ie ho* to do is to await the publidation Of the

listt of guests, arid scan carefully, if such a process be
really necessary, the reasons assigned for non-attendance
by those of the iii*itecifbieign gtiests *ho are conspicuous
for their absenet:

A private telegram was received subsequently to the
arrival of the official intelligence, to the effect that after
the despatch of the last China mail, the Celestials refused
to treat with the allied plenipotentiaries, and that hos-
tilities were about to be resumed. We do not place
much reliance on this news, more especially as we
believe no official confirmation of it has been received.
The Post's Paris correspondent telegraphs that
" It is not true that the Anglo-French expedition to
China will advance to Pekin. The envoys of the two
Powers, with their suite, and probably a guard of
honour, will go to the capital, where the conditions of
the new peace will be signed. In virtue of a clause in
the former treaty, an English and a French minister
will be accredited to Pekin, where they will reside."
Some statements on the same subject will be found in
oar oWn Paris letter,
A national stibsciiption has been opened in Sicily to
purchase a villa in the neighbourhood of Palermo, as a
gift to General Garibaldi. General Caridi it the orizi-
nator of the project. The Sicilians in Paris are taking
part in it.
A correspondent of the Times writes to that journal:—

"No credit is due to one of Reuter's telegrams which
appeared in the daily papers of November 2, and ran
thus:---' Calcutta, September 22.—Symptoms of disaffec-
tion are manifested by the 6th European Regiment at

Dinapore.' The Calcutta papers of the above date, says
the writer, make rio allusion whatever to this storyi

which has bees effectually disposed of three weeks
before. It had been put forth about the beginning of
the month by the Rualishman, contradicted in the same
paper on the following day, and never •afterwards
revived by it or any other Indian journal that has come
under our notice."

A parliamentary return of very considerable public
interest was issued yesterday upon the subject of the

railways of the United Kingdom, showing the amoant of
their capital authorised, the amount actually raised or

paid up in the different classes of secttrities, and the
amount of loans outstanding, the whole brought down
to the 31st of December, 1859. From this return we
learn that the total amount of capital authorised to be
raised up to the close of last year, was £383,716,351,
against £346,408,287 in 1858 ; increase, £37,308,064.

Total capital actually paid up to the date mentioned,
£334,362,928, against £308,824,851 in 1858, being an
increase of '£25,538,077. The respective classes of
capital in each year we compute as follows :--

Of the capital authorised to be raised .last year,
£285,434,181 was by shares, and £98,282,170 by loan.
These statistics relate to 289 railway companies or their
branches. There were also 37 lines which were after-
wards abandoned, with an authorised capital, in addi-
tion to the above, of £16,028,928, of which £1,072,143
were actually raised. This makes the gross amount of
capital authorised on all railways, whether abandoned
or carried forward, of £399,745,279, and the gross total
actually raised £335,435,071. It further appears that
the number of miles of line of railway authorised, but
whose limit for the purchase of land expired prior to
the 31st December, 1859, amounted to 2,545 miles,
representing a capital appropriated for their construc-
tion of £41,117,954.
It is stated to be the intention of her Majesty's
Government, immediately after the meeting of Parlia-
ment, to introduce a measure for the purpose of giving
effect to the recommendations of the commissioners who,
a short time, ago, were appointed "to inquire into the
expediency of bringing together into one place or
neighbourhood all the supreme courts of law and equity,
the Probate and Divorce Courts, and the Court of
Admiralty, and the various offices belonging to the same,
and into the means which exist and may be supplied for
providing a site or sites for carrying out this object."
The commissioners, whose decision has by per-
sonal inspection been confirmed by Lord Palmerston,
are in favour of a more eligible site. They propose to
devote to the concentration of the law courts a block of
buildings which comprises "close and ill-built streets,
badly ventilated and drained, and which, in respect to
part at least, is very discreditably inhabited." The pro-
posed site will be bounded by Carey-street on the north
and the Strand on the south, Bell-yard on the east, and
Clement's-inn on the west. The sum required for the
purchase of land is £675,000, and the same, it is stated,
will be required for the erection of the Palace of Justice
—making in the whole £1,350,000. The commissioners,
with the exception of. Sir W. P. Wood, have recom-
mended that this expense should be defrayed by the sui-
,tors' fund in Chancery—a fund which now possesses a
capital of £1,291,629.
The Bishop of Oxford, on Wednesday, delivered his
triennial charge to his clergy assembled at Woodstock.
Amongst other matters, his lordship dwelt at consider-
able length on the question of church rates, deprecating
any change in the present law concerning them; he also
expressed himself very strongly against the revision of
the Liturgy, and protested against the attempt to
render valid marriage with a deceased wife's sister. His
lordship's address was listened to with great-interest by
the very large number of clergy who were present on
the occasion.

The death of his Grace the Duke of Itlchnuand havinc,
caused a vacancy in the representation of West Sussex,
by the elevation of the Earl of March to the peerage, a
candidate for the vacant seat, Mr. Walter B. Barttelot,
of Millers, las issued an address to the electors, in
which he states, "that although diffident 'of my own
qualifications for so honourable a position, I feel bound
to respond to the wishes of my friends and neighbours.
My political principles are so well known to you that I
need hardly assure you I am a Conservative, and warmly
attached to the reformed church of this realm." kir.
Barttelot is strongly supported by the leading Conser-
vatives in each polling district.
The principle of co-operation appears to be gradually
extending in Manchester. On Wednesday night, a
numerous meeting was held in the People's Institute,
Heyrod.street, presided over 'by Mr. Aldermrn Hey-
wood, in connection with a cotton spinning and manu-
facturing company. Upwards of 500 shares of each
were taken at the meeting, bringing the total number
obtained up to nearly 3,000. A resolution was unani-
mously passed to enrol the company forthwith, and a
second resolution was adopted recommending the direc-
tors to take steps for the commencement of weaving, to
some extent, as soon as the funds would admit it.
It is stated that the screw steamship Etna has been
purchased for the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia
Steamship Company.
The Memorial of St. Etienne announces that the
ribbon manufacturers there are becoming very busy.
Considerable orders have been received from America,
Paris, and England, the Paris orders being chiefly for
the richer kind of ribbons, which had not been much
worn for some time past.

THE VOLUNTEER EXCURSION TO PARIS

" THE peace-at-any-price party" is a grand mis-
nomer. Under the pretence of desiring to cultivate
peace, the real effect of their policy is to provoke
war—a war of invasion. Their objections to war
itself take shape chiefly against warlike prepara-
tions—and in our country at the present time
warlikeara preparations mean only defensive pre-
parations. Allied with the misnamed "peace-
men" found all the extreme Radicals, whose
aren s.
secret desire is to upset the Throne and Consti-
tution, which they would replace with democratic
republicanism. The affinity between the revolu-
tionists and the war-provoking-peace-professors is
not real but contingent and accidental. With diffe-
rent objects in view, they both work to one end—
the humiliation of this country, its subjection to
the military power of France, and the sub Version
of the present order of things. The one prefers
peace to honour,—the other prefers subjugation
to a limited and constitutional monarchy. Both
are prepared to barter our rights and indepen-
dence for " a consideration." Both, we may add,
are purblind to the fact that the maintenance
of our present poktion in Europe is essential
to any true and lasting peace—to any real
and substantial freedom of opinion, speech,
and action. Between them, however,—these
Quakers and Americ.anisers make up a party
whose voice continually rings throughput the

land, and whose sly manoeuvres and combi-

nations it requires no small vigilance to detect
and counteract. Numerically few, they are,
without exception active, persevering, and cun-

ning. Not without skill, ability, and means,
they manage to command an amount of attention
*holly disproportionate to their real worth or
importance. The public cannot be too constantly
ptit on their gilard as to their maehinations

against the ,pen,ce and prosperity of England; and

the sacredness of her free institutions.

The highest compliment, and. the most unequi-
vocal
testimony, to the value and success of the

Volunteer Movement is to be found in the

opposition it has met with from these quaker-
reVohitionists: They pdoh:poohed it from the
first. They seriously arid angrily derimineed it as
it prospered: And 110* that it carries everything
before it; they sneak off into their corners and
desist froM open attack. At, the same time their
bitter aninidsitY ig only intensified. " It concen-
trates itself in the bonCoetion of underhand
•
attempts to turn the movement into ridimile by
apparent efforts to aid its development and add to
its importance. Well may the Volunteers exclaim,
Save us from such friends and supporters. Their
latest, and perhaps most successful trick, has
been a proposition for a Volunteer excursion to
the French capital. There is something in the
idea so novel, something at first sight so attractive,
and we Might add something so daring 4114
fascinating, • that in order to secure
,a , popular
expression against it, it is necessary to demand
• the most calm and serious attention of the brave
and generous men who constitute the. glorious
army of Volunteers. To all we say, beware. It
is a trick, a cheat, an insult—and its success
would consist only of a certain amount of
pecuniary profit and notoriety to its speculative
'projector,--a Mr. I. IpAYrz ROWSELL,—and a
large measure of ridicule and disgrace to the
national movement.

In the first place, suppose that an English
Volunteer demonstration could be successfUlly
made in the streets of Paris, is not the bare idea
of such a thing incongruous, absurd, and con.:
trary to all propriety and common sense—to say,

little of good taste. There is no use of blusling
at, or attempting to conceal the fact, our Volun-
teering has been provoked by the wild, unscru-
pulous, and ambitious policy of the French
Emperor, and the uncontrollable thirst for mili-
tary glory, and hatred of " perfidious Albion,",
on the part of the French colonels, soldiery, and
people. An attempt to flaunt our Volunteer
force before their jealous eyes could only be
looked upon by them as an insult to their
imagined superiority, or tolerated as an evidence
of our inferiority and fawning weakness. Or
even if the French should regard the affair with
a half patronising, half indifferent state of feel-
ing, what should we gain ? To imagine for one
moment that they would fall down and worship
such an eciuivocal manifestation of confidence;
is to suppose that they have no appreciation
of the moral or material value of an organisation,
which we pride ourselves in. believing to have
done more than anything else to satisfy Europe
that England is prepared to maintain her place
as the foremost nation in Europe, and, if neces-
_sary,- to—teach France, as England has -done
before, that she is notthe arbiter of the nations. In
any case, what possible good could. the ," move-
ment" upon Paris effect in behalf of the Volun-
teer
.eausie Should it, to any extent, in-
duce a belief in the minds of our ' people
that military preparation is unnecessary, ought
that to befdeemed an advantage, or a cunning
delusion ? What can it avail for the interests of
this• or any other country, to cry Peace, Peace,
when there is no peace ?" LOUIS NAPOLEON
-desires nothing more earnestly than that we
should desist from arming. What could better
answer his purpose thane if, by a little hollow
flattery to our Volunteers in his own capital, he
could persuade them that "the Empire is peace ?"
Shall we' go a begging for a little Imperial
familiarity and flattery; and offer to mitigate our
defensive zeal if our greatest enemy will but con-
descend to allow Us to approach his greatness,
and, as it were, count his military buttons, touch
the lace of his embroidered coat, and frisk
for a moment beneath his masked smile ? Shall
we ask the Imperial eagle to restrain or conceal
his talons while we innocently smooth down his
closed bat ravenous beak ? The folly of the pro-
position is almost too much for ordinary patience.
But, in truth, a successful display of our Volun-
teer force in Paris is simply impossible. Our
Volunteers could only appear there unarmed and
unorganised. In short, as a military Spectacle, it
would be an entire failure in the eyes of even a
less military population than that of the French
metropolis. If we wish, therefore, to destroy-the
effect produced on the Continental
,mind by the
favourable reports circulated by some of them-
selves as to the appearance and effectiveness of
our Volunteers at Hyde Park and Holyroodbefore
the QUEEN, at Knowsley Park before Lord bEE,I3Y,
and elsewhere, we could not do better—or worse—
than encourage a straggling, unarmed, and ill-
directed mob of men, in uniform, to exhibit them-
selves in,Paris under the name of English Volun-
teers. Shall we peril our good name by such an
act of folly ? Shall we tamely permit the effect
of all our good work to be undone ? Or shall we
make a strenuous and united effort to caution our
Volunteers from falling into such a trap, and to
save them from thoughtlessly compromising the
great movement, merely to-replenish the purse of
a needy speculator in cheap foreign excursions ?
It seems to us, as deeply interested in the
prosperity,and usefulness of •the Volunteer move-
ment, to be the duty of every officer and private
of the foree -to use his whole influence to Put
down this vain and injudicious project. By ;all
means, let us cultivate a good feeling across the
Channel at every opportunity—but let 'lli' never
attempt to ignore the real state of facts. Above
all, let is have no, trifling with our Volunteers.
if Frenchmen wish to see our Volunteer army,
br if we desire that they should form a correct
idea of its power, let them come across and we
'shall _make them heartily welcome. The function
of Volunteers is confined to their own soil. They
tot got nothing to do abroad. Let us see to it
that as a body they stay at home. A Volunteer
pleasure excursion to France is anomalous, absurd,
and not to be 'endured; and the honour o! the
organisation demands-that it shall be authorita-
tively forbidden.
