TURIN, Ocr. 22.

The Diritt,, and some other newspapers which
contained the declaration of Garibaldi relative to
the Franco-Italian convention have been seized.

A meeting has been held by a society of working
men in Turin, at which a resolution was passed to
incite the working class generally to prose by their
actions that they are not forgetful of their reputa-
tion and their past actions, and that they will
maintain in the present days a calm and dignified
attitude.

Moreover tho resolution declared that they would
regard as a traitor to his country whoever should
atteuipt to disturb public order.

Trrnn:, Ocr. 23.

Perfect tranquillity reigns in the city, and there
is not the least indication of excitement. Almost
all the deputies and ReLlittoOra have arrived. l'ro-
clamations of the Syndics, the commanders of the
National Guard, an 1 nianifestoes of the working
men's associations, have been published, recom-
mending the people to preserve order and tran-
quillity. The tone of the journals is conciliatory,
and a hope is generally expressed that during the
parliamentary session no disturbances will occur.

VIE ALLEGED INSURRECTIONARY
MOVEMENT IN VENETIA.
UDINE (GovERNMEXT Or VENETIA). OCr. 22.
The insurgents bivouacked on the 19th at Cap°
di Poute, intending to take possession of Belluuo.
Subsequently they received orders to disperse, and
to hide their arms. Up to the present time the
leaders have not been captured, although many
arrests have been made.
A strict watch is maintained on the frontiers by
the authorities, no emigrants being permitted to
pass.

ITRTY, neT. 22.

Letters from 'Venetia confirm the statement that
several districts of Lombardy have been invaded
by armed bands dressed in the Garibaldiau uniform.
One band, commanded by Talassi, formerly a cap-
tain in Garibaldi's army, took possession of the
treasury of the tax collectors at Spilembergo and
Maniago, leaving in return a formal receipt.
During the occupation the Italian flag was dis-
played by the invaders.

PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF LAUENBURG

TO PRUSSIA.
LUBECK, Orr. 22.

The Liih.cker .Zeitung of to-day says :—" The
motion to annex. Lauenburg to Prussia has been
carried in the Landtag of that duchy."

THE FRANCO-ITALLUN CONVENTION.
PARIS. OCT. 23.

A pamphlet entitled "The Convention of the
15th September," and believed to he of semi-
official origin, has been published to-day.

The writer maintains there can be no doubt that
the conditions of the treaty will be loyally carried
out, and that the object of the convention is to
bring about such an understanding between the
Papacy and Italy as may allow of a solution of
the great and fundamental question of Rowe.
Catholicism would thus rally round the cause of
Italy, and the difficulties still existing on the other
aide of the Alps, and which prevent the establish-
ment of order in Europe, would be solved.
The writer concludes :—" We are sufficiently ac-
quainted with the sagacity of the Holy Father to
be convinced that he will give no pretext to the
turbulent spirits who will not fail to seek obstacles
whereby the happy and speedy reconciliation of the
Papacy and Italy may be prevented."

His Excellency the Governor was in British
Kairraria, and would proceed from thence to the
Orange River Free State for the purpose of settling
the boundary of Mushesh's country. While iu
King William's Town, the governor had au inter-
view with a deputation from a public meeting, and
in replies to questions addressed to him, stated that
the home government would shortly decide whether
Katiraria should be incorporated with the Cape
Colony.
The Adrertis,r and Kai/ says

Mr. Oesoeyu, who was received with great cheering,
commeceed with some humorous allusions to the various
societies' meetings and congresses during the last few
months, especially ridiculing Mr. Heine Hoare's plab• of
church extension by &audios men to pal who had notrpead
church rates. Mr. Osborue then proceeded to criticise
and condemn the foreign policy of the government, 'tying

say, "1 think that the member for North Warwickshire,
Mr. Mesetlegate, is one." He would say, "How are you,
Newilegater (Laughter.) He would also see in the mem-
ber for West Norfolk, Mr. Bentinok, another tory ; and as
he wee a man of great judgment, he would recognise, I
think, as the third tory the noble lord the member for
Tiverton. (Laughter.) Them in no 'region why the tbry '
should not be popular. We have an ides that he is a homed,

and it curiously happens that in his lastsperolk he resigned,
Denmark to her fate. (Hear, bear.) The moat efficient,
support to Lord Palmerston is gives by the extreme Soil
section ; else why are church rates still standing? I belies!.
they are of no use to the church • hetself. 1 ale a church-
man, because I think the church is the most tolerant of all
sects, and if it were not for the kind of support which Lord
Palmerston receives church rates would soon go the way of
all flesh. But whet has become of the tory party'. I have
my own way of aeoceintingfor its disappearance. The senti.
meat. of the men who represented it are changed, their ao-
tions are altered, and I can only account for it in one way.
You have 'remarked a speech receutly made in this country

the names of wilts and tories are becoming by•words.
I cannot see why some new combination should not be
tried. (Hear, hear.) Is there any statesman moire liberal
in voting, speaking, and writing than Lord Stanley , who has
not only voted and spoken for the abolition of church rates, but
has written no able pamphlet in favour of it, and supports
reform? Why am I. then, to be deterred from voting fur
Lord Stanley became he site on the opposite beeches ? Why
am I to be •tamed simply by a party restriction ? "Party
is the mediae. of the many," as Burke said, "for the
gain of the few." (Hear, hear.) The time will come when
a change will take piece, and the government chariot of mo-
derate progress and sensible reform will go on its way.
(Applause.) I hesitate not to declare that the liberal party has
neither a du war • leader, and we are in the slough of despond.
Who would have ever thought that we should have arrived
at a time when repose and thanksgiving are enjoined upon
us by liberal ministers as the euthanasia of the great Lb.-
rid party ! However inclined to be thankful, we are not I
disposed to rest. Ministers exist by the support of friends,
parties axial by the vivacity of their principles. (Applause.)
1 hope some volunteers are present, became they will
understand an evolution which I think may be applied to
the parliament 1 clout mean to say that they are goiig
through the goose step—(laughter)—but there oan be no
doubt that members of parliament are employed in "mark-
ing
time," which is • great wake-believe of going on, but a
stasiditill all the time —(luud laughter)—at any rate, that
evolution is being performed at present by her Majesty's I
ministers. The other day Lord Paireereou said that his
ministry wee composed of the ablest men in
the world. I don't dispute that, but there are
many people who hold high office who are only
selected because of Ligb connexions, and who if they de. I
tended on their own abilities would be reduced to blowing •
the bellows of their parish organ. We are going too much
for blood, and not enough fur one. We are told that we I
have the ablest government If they are able they are
rather indolent, for they don't produce much. They re-
crioded me of • parrot who was sold 30 years ago as &Meg
the elevereat parrot iu Europe, for he wee able to my "the
bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill," which was • '
very popular cry at that time. A most respectable old lady ,
gave rkow. for the bird, but for • whole year after it was
bought it never uttered a cry. It ate its food, it drank,
and was in capital condition, but not a word would it
speak. The old lady remonstrated with the man she
bought it of, and he said to her when told that,
it would not speak, " Oh, no ; but it's • devil to
think." I think that is very much the case with our
domestic policy. Before the government was in office we
shook our fingers at them ; we gave them a weary time ;
we derided them for not being reformers, and exconanuoi-
wited them for not retrenching. Well, we got in, and
we're devils to think. (Laughter.) The head of the pre-
sent ministry is, I grant, a tine specimen of a flee old Erg.
lish gentleman. I separate him se what he is privately
from what he is politically. I know of no measure from
1303 down to the present day which he has produced or put
his impress on. He is an acute, able man' tied, having
been all his life in offioe, very naturally does not want
to get out of it, but he occupies very much the
position of the Doke of Wellington in bar later
years, who, we must candidly admit, adhered to old aye-
toms, and, grateful for victoria. woo by the old Brown Bess,
would not bear of the Enfield rifle. So with Lord Pal-
merston. who naturally looks to the weapons with which be
has achieved his triumphs, as being those upon which be
roust still rely. Now with me it is of course otherwise. 11
I am to be • dummy, having neither the liberty of inaction
by not voting, or the liberty of action by voting, I should
advise you to get some one else to do your bidding. lam
proud to have stood in parliament as your representative,
sud I have been proud of my position solely because you
seta me to parliament as a free, unfettered, independent
man—not obliged to register • compulsory vote,
nor give way to official influence, or be tickled by
ministerial blandishment., 113•10 is no doubt that Lord
Palmerston is a tenant for life where he 1., and a covenant
would seem to be in the lease " without improvements."
(Laughter.) 1 will read you some lines written in 1742 by
• famous Whig squibber, Sir Charles liatibury Wahiawa,
who addressed an ode to the first Viscount Palmerston, who
I believe was the father or grandfather of the present lord,
and who was appointed chief retnembnincer for Ireland. A
few stanza, of the squib ran thus :

--- - •
The first thing his excellency will have to do is to con-
vince the Kaffrarians that it is for their own interest to be
joined with the Cape colonist.. The second condition is,
that before any annexation is effected there must be a re-
distribution of the electoral franchise, so as to secure the
continuance of a fair equipoise of political power among the
different provinces of the colony. Parliament will require
that for every vote added from the British Katlrarian side,
there most be a corresponding extension made
of the representative power of the Midland
and Western districts. It is vain to expect
that the Cape parliament will undertake the
liability of having British }Wirer's annexed to the old
colony until a distinct and clear understanding is comm to
respecting the extent and the manner in which the imperial
government will continue it, contribution towards the de-
fence of the frontier and the civilisation of the native savage
tribes still resident immediately beyond the border.
The Lieutenant-Governor and commander of the
forces was at Graham's Town, but there was no
prospect of any outbreak on the part of the natives.
Krell was to be located between the Kei and the
Bashes, and was to hare a magistrate re,ident with
him.

The weather in the colony Lad beau remarkably
favourable for the farmers, and a plentiful harvest
was expected. The breadth of Lind under culti-
vation bad never been exceeded, and the crops
were very promising. Trade was goad, money
plentiful, and provisions cheap. Owing to the
additional taxing measures which \sere passed
during the last session it was confidently expected
that the deficiency hitherto apparent in the revenue
would be more than made up.
The Supreme Court hail quashed the sentence of
deprivation pronounced by the synod of the Dutch
Reformed Church on the Rev. Mr. Kotz,.:, one of
her ministers, on the ground that the accused was
not allowed a legal trial.
A company bad been formed for the introduction
of the llama from South America. The first ship-
ment was expected towards the end of this tear.
Laud companies Lad also been formed in Cape
Town and Port Elizabeth.

Throe wore slave dhows, captured ou the east
coat by Ler Majesty's ship Ariel, had been con-
demned iu the Vice-Adwiralty Court.

A party of 200 men had been employed by go-
vernment in commencing the extension of the rail-
way from Wellington to Worcester.

A MERU:Cc MAILS. There are three wail
steamers due at Liverpool this week from America and
Canada—viz., the Peruvian, Etna, and China. The Peru-
vial), with dates from Quebec to the 15th of October, and
the Etna with corresponding dates from New York, may be
expected : the former at Greencastle in the noun of to-
morrow (Tuesday), and the latter off Cape Clear or Queens-
town during Wednesday. Ou Friday next or early on
Saturday morning the Cunard screw.steamer China may
be expected to reach either Cape Clear or Queens-
town, with advices from New York up to the 19th inst.
On Saturday the loyal Mail steamer Persia sailed from the
Mersey for New York with the United States mails, also a
full cargo, and about led passengers. Tootorrow (Tuesday)
the African Royal Mail Steam Ship Company's steamer
Armenian, T. Lew:too, commander, will leave Liverpool,
with mails for Madeira, Teneriffe, sad the West Coast of
Africa. Letters, Ac., will be received at the Post-office
until L3O p.m., and on the landing stage, with late fees of
Gd., until _'..loµm. On Wednesday the Inman steamer
City of Baltimore will sail for New York, with meals for
the United States. Letters, ter., will be received at the
Liverpool Post-office natal 2 o'clock p.m., end for despatch
by way of Cork until 8.30 p.m.
THE WHEcli of THE ONTARIO.—This unfor-
tunate steamer has now been quite abandoned. Captain
Brooklyc, her commander, six officers, and two men re-
mained on board the steamer on Thursday, after the crew,
cousisting of GS men, had left in a lifeboat. On Thursday
eight there was a tremendous sea, which burst on and Over
the ill-fated vessel. On Friday morning the water reached
the decks, and the captain and officers seeing that further
effort. would be useless, took to the lifeboat which re-
mained on board, and after incurring groat risks, reached
the steam tug Sailor, and were landed the same day at Croat
Yarmouth. The value of the steamer is estimated at up-
wards of 120,000/., but she was only insured for 90,000/.
The crew were in a position of great peril before they left
the steamer, which was on her Gist outward voyage to
Alexandria, and if the wind had shifted to the east-
' ward oa Wednesday night or Thursday morning the
ship must have broken up and every soul on
I board must inevitably have perished. The extmor-
-11 diner,' conduct of the Yarmouth henchmen, in refusing to
take the lifeboat out to the asentaoce of the vessel wiles,
they received the sum of 500/., was brought wider the
notice of the mayor of the town and the other magistrates
who were presiding at the police•court on Thursday. Mr.
Closes, a magistrate, stated that if the vessel had gone to
pieces, all on board must inevitably have been drowned.
' The mayor observed that w hen Captain Rivers, R.N. Lloyd's
agent, and Mr. Butcher, the hon. secretary of the R.N.,
Lifeboat Institution at Yarmouth, saw the weather coming
no so threatening, they endeavoured to make terms with the
beachmen of Yarmouth, but they would cot go without
Nick. They were offered 100/. to go off in the lifeboat. The
value of the vessel was so great that the men seemed not to
know what to ask. The mayor said that the men left
themselves without an excuse the moment they said they
would not go unitr for a certain sum. Such conduct on
' the part of the henchmen was really a disgrace to the coast.
A meeting of the lifeboat committee is to be held to-day
(Monday), at Yarmouth, to inquire fully into all the circum-
stances of this discreditable case, which fortunately is with-
out a parallel on any other part of the coasts of the ['Mud
Kingdom, as the lifeboats are always readily weaned every-
' where in case' of emergency. An offioer from the National

Loss OF THE PRINCI ARTHUR, HUDSON'S BAY
COM PANT'S SHIP.—On Saturday the announcement of the
total for of this bun ship, while on her voyage from London
to Hudsoo's Bay, we. made known at Lloyd's. She was
un4er the command of Captain Smythe ; and, from the
brief details received, she appears to have been driveo
sahore off Cara Diggs, on Mansfield Island, in Hudson'ality,
on August 13th, analog from the dellactioo of the compere,
produced by some magnetic influence along that coast. The
mew and pameogers were all saved, and there is some chance
of recovering portions •,f the cargo. In Lloyd's register of
shipping the Prince Arthur is described as 4311 tone register,
was boilt at Northeast in 1854 under special survey, sod was
classed A 1 for twelve years. She was insured by the com-
pany at Lloyd's. It is somewhat remarkable that the com-
pany's other ship, the Prince of Wales, Captain Sinnott,
which sailed from London a short time previous to the
Prince Arthur, for the compaey's fectones in Hudson's
Hay, also got salters at Mansfield Island, but was more for
in getting off, and she has since arrived lately at ]ark
Fork

THE LONIL.,N SWIMMINti Cu c.—The last grand
aquatic entertaioment of the season will be given this even-
iog in the Metropolitan Bath. Ashlev-er scent. City-road,
by the Loadon Swimming Club. Eatablished in 1b59, this
society has, during the five years of its existence. striven
bard, and with some success, to raise natation to that pro-
mioent position among the accomplishments of British
youths which so useful, delightful, and herilth.giviog an art
deserves. Anyone unable to swim is soon taught upon join-
ing this club; when the strokes are once acquired efficiency
is soot gained by swimming in company with more expert
member. ; and emulation is excited by prizes being offered
for competition. Not to members alone, however, are prizes
giveu ; the club has a more national scope. It was entirely
through the etforta of the London Swimming Club that the
Two-mile Champion's Cup was purchased, and it is on-
questionably owing to the publicity given to the noes
fur this handsome trophy that the art of swimming is be•
coming more sad more popular in this country. The pre-

WATERING PLACRS WITHOUT WATER.—A oor-
respondent gives a rather startling account of the results
of the long drought in three midland watering plates
—Great Malvern, Cheltenham, and Clifton—reducing them
to the anomalous pudica of " watering places without
water." From the month of March up to the middle of last
week (excepting for a week in September) scarcely any rain
fell io the district, and the effect has been sufficiently re-
markable for historical record. At Malvern the water
patients have been put upon abort allowance, and the main
public spring for • Wag time dropped water in such small
quantities as to take five minutes to fill a tumbler, while a

termittent, while the quality was decidedly inferior.

the old sompasy proved leadequate to the requirements of
an iocreasieg population, and they applied to parliament for
a bill to take water from the Seven), nine miles off : but the
inhabitants strenuously opposed it, and the scheme was
abeadooed. The company them sunk a deep well in the
costes of the town, but this only drained the present wells.
A new company, coder the title of " The Cheltenham sod
Gloucestershire Water Company (Limited)," has conse-
quently keels lensed for obleteisig a supply from a famous
spring at South Carney, on the Cotswold Bills, distant 17
miles. These sprites are of great purity, and yield over

The piece selected by Mr. Fechter for his opening night is
pwagailloat peg on which to hang rich scenery and dresses,
though it wears novelty and strong interest; it is called
The Kttly'S Buttrrwy, and is a five-act version of a seven-act
play by M. Paul Maurice, produced at tho Thiatre de
rAmbigu Camisole in November, 115 P, under the title of
Iran -fan, /a Tulipc. When Mr. Vining opened the Prin-
cess's Theatre, on the 27th of May, 1163, he perforined
a condensed three-act version of this drama—adapted by
himself he'called Court and Camp, and in which be
acted the character LOW sustained by Mr. Fechter. Though
