throughout the manufacturing districts as to whether
any negotiation wee going on at all.
Mr. BAINES confirmed the statements and views of Mr.
Forster.

Mr. NEWDEGATE took occasion to advert to the dis-
astrous effects of the French treaty upon the manufacturers
sad operative claims in Coventry.
Mr. TURNER spoke of the distress in the cotton die-
tricts in Booth Lancashire, and complained of the duty im-
posed on the export of raw cotton in India.
Lord PALf&b.RSTON, in reply to Lord A. Clierehill,
mid that r missiou hid been sent to the Sing of Dahomey
to endeavour to induce bim to abandon his inhuman prac-
tices, which had not met with success, and it was always
difficult to prevail upon a savage people to forego satire
customs. No opportunity, however, would be kat of re-
newing the endeavours. With regard to the slave nude,
the African chiefs would not relinquish It unless they
were convinced that legitimate trade would yield
most profit. In answer to Mr. Forster, he said
negotiations were going on between her Majesty's
and the Belgian. governments, which were conducted
in the most amicable spirit, and, if successful, would
place Great Britain upon the footing, and give us all the
advantages, of the most favoured nation. He discussed at
some length the matters referred to in the speech of Hr.
Forster' paying a tribute, in the course of his observations,
to the duieterested conduct of Mr. Cobden. He assured
Mr. Newdepte that he was entirely mistaken in attribu-
ting the dingoes is Coventry to the French treaty ; its true
calm was to be traced toe law of human nature—the fluc-
tuations of fashion.

THE INTERNATIONAL EX►irBITION.

The favourable change of the weather yesterday
exercised an influence over the attendance at the
Exhibition which was quite surprising. People
said it looked quite like an " old Friday,"• and
sanguine expectations were expressed that, with a
continuance of the fine weather, the attendance
might yet reach 20,000 a day before the close. In
addition to the visitors who came in hundreds to
have a quiet look at many beautiful things which
were unapproachable during the crowded days,
there were large numbers who came as purchasers,
and who might be seen coming away in the after-
noon armed with parcels of various dimen-
sions. There were quite as many carriages
about the doors as we have usually seen
on Fridays, in addition to which there was
a formidable array of vans in waiting, to re-
ceive the heavy goods. The interest respect-
ing the "Reading Girl" appeared to be much
increased, perhaps in consequence of the fact
that the statue is after to-day to be removed to the
Guildhall, where it will form one of the ornaments
of the vestibule during the annual banquet. It is
a noteworthy fact that the sales of Exhibition pho-
tographs were more numerous yesterday than on
days when the attendance was five times as great,
every one seero,ng a-mious to carry away a memo-
rial. An especial ran took place on the large pho-
tographs, one gentleman purchasing 50/. worth. It
is fully expected that the coat of "clearing " the
building after next week will be almost a nominal
affair. We noticed many visitors inquiring where
certain articles which they came to the Exhibition
to purchase were to be had, but as the owners had
not taken the precaution to advertise their class and
court, the inquirers had great difficulty in obtaining
information. The number of visitors was 8,000.

The Madrid journals of the Bth speak in
strong terms against the conduct of Garibaldi, and
recommend the Italian government to put an end
as speedily as possible to such an illegal course of
proceeding. " The sooner," says the Epoca,
" King Victor Emmanuel puts down the general's
unqualified outbreak—the sooner he forces the
revolutionary flag to descend, the greater will be
the guarantees he gives to Europe, and to so many
interests justly alarmed."
The Constitutional publishes a statistical article

have latterly become very numerous amongst life

usually occasion.

THE WARWICKSHIRE HURDKR.

George Gardener, • ploughman, was indicted for the
wilful murder of Sandi Kirby, • fellow servant to whom
he had leen paying his Addressee, on the 22nd of April last.
Mr. O'Brien and the Hon. E. C. Leigh were for the pro-
secution ; and Mr. Stephen for the defence.
The prisoner, a short, thick-s.t young man, with •
dogged east of features, was employed as waggoner at an
isolated farmhouse a few miles from Henley-inArdeo, and
in the road to itedditch. The deceased, who was employed
at the time farm-house in the capacity of maid servant,
eight months prior to the murder complained
to the housekeeper that Gardener had made several
fessucceesful) attempt. to kiss her ; he was
in fact dextrous of paying his addresses to the girl,
who was extremely good looking, and moreover pious,
het his attentions were a source of annoyance to her.
Gardener's master remonstrated with him on the subject,
and nothing further was beard of the matter, though one of
the fellow servants noticed that he was in the habit of
watching deceased through a little crevice which separated
their bed chambers. The night previous he vent in drink-
ing, and on the morning of the murder he *Thal wildly to
his fellow employi's about killing somebody, and add
deemed would not draw him any beer-she deserved to be
shot. His master was absent at a neighbouring cattle fair,
and, taking advantage of this circumstance, prisoner
speedily carried his design into execution. His tin-
**peeling victim drew him she "beer" he said
be required, and then retired to the! washbouse,
whew she was engaged. The primmer soon afterwards
asked her to fetch the master's double-barnslled gun out of
the house. She did so readily, knowing be was la the habit
ef "bootie( rooks with it. and else returned to her washing.
Be took the percussion off one nipple and nicked it, in order
**when it was discharged it might not hang fire. He
then pot on the cep again, and as the girl was stooping over
rise weshree tab he fired at her, the charge entering the
spine just below the seek. The poor girl fell back and died '
budimitly.
The defies, was that the firing of the gun was purely
accidental, and that prisoner had-never thought of injuring
the deceased.
No witnesses were tolled. and
The jury found the primer Guilty of wilful murder.
He was sentenced to death, without the slightest hope of
enerey. He did not manifest the slightest feeling through-
out the trial.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVEN(./ AUGUST 12, 1862.

THE ARMY OF GARIBALDI.

The Pays says, on the authority of a correspond-
ent at Palermo, a Nearly all the nations of Europe
are represented in the little army of Garibaldi.
There are Hungarians, Germans, English, Greeks.
Nevertheless, the Italian element preponderates.
The provinces of Italy which have furnished the
largest contingent are naturally those of the
Two Sicilies. But nothing can less resem-
ble soldiers than the young men who
compose the Garibaldian bands. Most of them
are beardless ; some of them are scarcely
15 or 16 years old." "This little army," adds the
Pays, "is far from possessing that cohesive
strength which is indispensable to a serious enter-
prise. Garibaldi cannot hope to conduct it to
victory, however great may be the confidence
which he feels in its ardour ; it is, then, overthrow
almost without striking a blow which awaits it."

POLAND.

The Grand Duke Constantine, on the occasion of
the baptism of his son, gave 3,000 roubles to the
poor of Warsaw. The Grand Duke and the
Czarewitch Alexander Alexandrowitch, eon of the
Emperor Alexander, have visited the Marquis
Wielopolski, to congratulate him on having miracu-
lously escaped the attempted assassination.

A letter from Munich, dated August 10, nays :
"The Duke Philip of Wurteasburg, who has been staying
here for same days, is geseaslly looked upon as the future
husband of the Priam, Sophie Charlotte, youngest
daughter of Duke ➢faximilian of Bavaria, and the marriage
in shortly expected to take place. Duke Philip is a grand-
son of the late Louis Philippe, as his mother, who died in
1839, was the consort of Duke Alexander of Wartemburg,
and was the oldest daughter of the then King of the French.
The Princes Sophie is sister to the Empress of Austria,
and to the ex-Queen of Naples, and thus, by her marriage
with Duke Philip of Wurtembarg, the Orleans family will
be brought into near alliance with the imperial family of
Austria and with the Bourbons."
