ITALIAN AFFAIRS.

VIENNA, Sept. 11.

It is positively stated that the ambassadors of
Austria, Russia, and Prussia, at Naples, have
received orders to proceed to Gaeta.

DRESDEN, Sept. 11.

The Cabinets of Vienna, Munich, and Dresden
have advised the King of Naples to take refuge
in Germany and not in Spain. .

The Piedmontese have not yet entered the
Papal States. The reports concerning the revo-
lutionary movements in the Marches and Umbria
are exaggerated. It .is said that the Austrian
troops have been concentrated on the extreme
frontier of Venetia, facing Modena and the
Romagna. The Patnie states that Baron
Brenier, the French ambassador •at Naples, is
about to return -to France.

ROME (ria Marseilles), Sept. 8.

A panic prevails here. Mons. Merode has left
for the Neapolitan frontier. The town of Frosi-
nore has been declared in a state of siege. The
news of an insurrection at Ponte Corvo has been
confirmed. Sardinian troops are marching
through Tuscany and the Romagna, to be• in
readiness to enter the Papal States. General
Lamorieiere has concentrated his troops at Spo-
leto, and has denied the alleged order of the day
in "which he was said to have directed his soldiers
to plunder any town which should rise in insur-
rection.

NAPLES.

MARSEILLES, Sept. 11.

Letters received from Naples to the evening of
the Bth instant, state that the Sardinian flag was
flying from all the forts before Garibaldi's entry
into Naples. The Sardinian Admiral threatened
to fire upon any Neapolitan vessel which should
attempt to proceed to Gaeta. Garibaldi had
found an immense quantity of rt►ar material and
80,000,000 lire in the Bank. •
A fe Deum had been celebrated in the Cathe-
dral by Father Gavazzi, the people shouting
" Hurrah for Victor EmManuel!" " Hurrah for
Garibaldi!" The people were armed, some even
with .pikes and sticks. General illuminations had
taken place.
The Papal Nuncio, the greater part .of the Am-
bassadors,•and Count Trapani, had followed the
King to Gaeta.
The King had appointed Signor Ulloa, brother
of General Ulloa, as his Prime Minister, and had

issued a proclamation.
Aftef the flight of the King, a great rise took
place in the public funds.

A despatch was received yesterday from
Emden, announcing the total loss of the Alliance,
from Sunderland. Crew perished.

The following appeared in our later editions of
yesterday :
RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.
The Times remarks that it is hard to avoid a
suspicion that a sudden alliance between these
two powers is designed, to provide anew.for the
security of Hungary against menaces, which,
besides being formidable to the authority of one
Emperor, are by no means agreeable to the
traditional policy of the other. The Italian
Liberator is not only expected to give freedom to
Venetia, but he is supposed to be reckoning on
the insurrection of Hungary in aid of his designs ;
but it is by no means certain that the Emperor
Napoleon would patiently submit to the inter-
ference of another state in the Italian struggle ;
and if the alliance of Russia on the one side, is
balanced by the hostility of France on the other,
it can hardly be thought, that Francis Joseph
would gain by the transaction.

The Times city article says that prices at
Mark-lane yesterday were about 2s. lower than
on the previous Monday.
At St. Petersburgh the tallow market is firm,
at 49r. for all September. The exchange comes
quoted 36d.
The Brighton Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of £1,787, and the South-
Eastern an increase of £1,120.
The Herald says the embarrassment of a firm en-
gaged as trimming manufacturers was announced
yesterday. The unfavourable nature of the season
has checked the business and produced the
difficulty.
The Superior Council of Commerce at Paris is
still actively engaged in completing the various
clauses of the commercial treaty between Great
Britain and France, as the duty to be imposed
on British manufactures must be fixed by the
first of next month.
A communication from Chicago states that
since the Ist of January the receipts of grain at
that place already exceed 20 million bushels, of
which nearly 13 million bushels were Indian
corn of the old crop. Not one-twentieth of the
wheat crop had been moved towards markets.
Travers and Co. give in their last circular 6
harvest reports from the northern counties, 31
from the midland, and 15 from the southern.
They indicate, on the whole, that wheat will be
a full average and of fine quality; and potatoes
are described from all parts to be extremely bad.
The steam reserve at Portsmouth consists of
the following, not including the gunboats and
mortar vessels in Haslar-yard :-7 line-of-battle
ships, 4 frigates, 2 corvettes, 9 sloops, 3 floating-
batteries, 20 gunboats, and 1 troop steamer.
They give a total force of 1,150 guns, propelled
by 11,420 horse-power.

WAYERTREE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.—The annual tea
party of the Wesleyan Sunday School, Wavertree, was
held last night, in the school-room at that village. A
large number of persons interested in the welfare of
those schools sat. down, upon that occasion, to an excel-
lent tea, the substantial parts of which haying been
amply discussed, the cloth was removed, and J.
Rowell, Esq., was voted to the chair. That gentleman '
briefly and appropriately expressed his pleasure and gra-
tification at being permitted to occupy the position of
chairman on this their annual tea meeting. He con-
cluded by calling upon the Rev. IT. C. Osborn, who, in the
course of a very pointed and useful address, urged upon
all the necessity for working hard in the good cause in
which they were engaged. His remarks, which were
delivered in the manner so peculiar to the rev. gentle-
man, and with the usual eloquence, were listened to
with attention by the numerous assembly, who fre-
quently and heartily applauded the spirit as well as the
manner of the address. Mr. George Bowden and other
gentlemen subsequently addressed the meeting, and the
proceedings terminated with the usual, but in this case
unusually cordial vote of thanks to the chairman.

VOLUNTEER MOVEMENTS

14TH LANCASHIRE ARTILLERY.-Mr. W. Grayson,
of Prince's-park, entertained the 14th Lancashire
Artillery Volunteers to dinner on Saturday last.
The Rev. Rector Campbell will, on Sunday the 16th

ing of this association is to take place in Earl Spencer's

regulations as to shooting have been most carefully
drawn up by Lord Spencer, and the system which
worked so well at the great national meeting at Wim-
bledon will be adopted. Cricket, archery, foot races,
and other athletic sports are included in the programme
of the proceedings.

Acting upon the recommendation of Lieutenant-
General Wetherell, C. 8., the second battalion of Liver-
pool Volunteers, under the command of Col. Gladstone
and Major Tinley, are devoting their time and attention
to artillery and rifle practice at Hightown. About
forty volunteers are encamped already on the shore at
Hightown ; targets at various ranges, up_ to 1,100
yards, have been erected, and every effort is put stre-
nuously forward to perfect the men in the shooting
preparatory to the
GREAT COUNTY RIFLE CONTEST.

Prim the- support received from the nobilk
and gentry in general ; and the great experience
which the promoters must have gained at Hythe and
Wimbledon, the coming meeting among the Lancashire
volunteers must eclipse all former contests. The prizes
already announced are worthy the famed liberality Of
the lieutenant of the county, Lord Ellesmere, Mr. W.
Preston, Mr. 3-. P. Heywood, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Brown. Promises of support have been tendered by the
Earl of Derby, Colonel Wilson Patten, and a large
number of the nobility and gentry of Lancashire ; and
the Manchester volunteers have signified their intention
in the most handsome manner, of heartily co-operating
in the matter after their own meeting at Southport.
With this unlimited patronage, support, and co-operation
of all the volunteers of the county, the Hightown con-
'test cannot fail to be the most successful by far of any
yet held in the kingdom.

THE COMING CONTEST AT LEASOIVE,
CHESHIRE.

Thanks to the untiring energy of Messrs. Laird,
Captains Liddell, King, Chambres, Harrison and Grey,
coupled with the liberal patronage of the Marquis of
Westminster, Sir Edward Cust, Lord Combermere, Earl
of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Earl Spencer, Lord Eleho,
General Hay, the members for the county, and others
of the gentry of the county of Chester, the preliminary
arrangements for the coming rifle contest at Leasowe
are all but completed. If noble prizes, and ground
offering every facility for long and short ranges—with
general safety—and perfection in rifle-shooting, which
some of the Cheshire 'volunteers have attained, augur
and insure success, then the Cheshire contest will be
second only to that of Wimbledon, and preparatory in
effect to a still more extensive county competitive
meeting next summer. The value of the prizes that
will be offered is nearly £3OO, presented by various per-
sons in and about Birkenhead. There will be ten or
twelve prizes open to all volunteers of artillery or rifle
companies in Cheshire, and three or four prizes open to
all comers bona fide residents in the county of Chester.
The laws and yegulations have been submitted to, and.
are approved by, General Hay. This meeting is no ,v
exciting considerable interest throughout Cheshire, as
proved by the fact of thirty companies having already.
intimated their intention to send members to compete
for the prize 3, and will, no doubt, be the forerunner of a
properly-constituted rifle association in connection with
the National Rifle Association of London.
