HASTEN' Hamm —The harvest being now
gathered is, harvest homes are being held in various parts
of the country. In Worcestershire the custom was for each
farmer to hold his individual " harvest home," at which he
fesata the labourers on his funs, but latterly a system of
having parochial gatherings at the conclusion of harvest, at
which, after attending service and offering up thanksgivings
at the parish church, a dinner is held which is attended by
great and small, and inane sports are the order of the 'Tw-
in. On Tuesday last there was one of these aggregate
harvest homes at Bushley, in that county. It was made a
general holiday, the labourers and their wives and children
attending Divine service at the parish church with the
farmers and gentry. The parishes of Smithy, Queenhill,
Laneon, and Holdfast joined in the holiday, Divine war.
vice being held at each parish church, and the people after.
wards assembling at Poll-court, Bushley, the residence of
Mr. I)owdeswell, the chief landowner. Each labouring man
had an ear of corn and a poppy or other scarlet flower in his
coat, and there were nearly 600 perms, mustered at the
dinner, which was held in a tent tastefully decorated, and
with such inscriptions as God speed the plough," "God
be praised for a bountiful harvest," 14. c. Mr. W. E. Dew-
claws% the heir to the Dowdeawell estates, took the chair,
and the apeech•making was naturally of an agricultural
turn. Mr. Dewclaws% is the coarse of the evening, es. '
pressed an opinion that these harvest homes had done much
good in the country. At first, he said, the labourers de•
dared that they preferred their 'buoy and beer at the farm-
house to any amount of speech qnsking, but now they
listened with evident gratification to the remarks of
preacher and speaker, and read the reports of the sayings
and doings in the newspapers with interest. Afterwards
between 500 and 600 wives and families of cottagers took
tee in the tent, and the evening was spent in sports,
dancing, and music. Prizes were also awarded to deserving
labourers, rick•thatchers, and rick-makers.

THE ITALIAN NOTE ON GARIBALDI'S
EXPEDITION.

BE.B.NE, UPC 18.

The following is a summary of the circular note
dated 10th September, addressed by General Du-
rand° to the Italian representatives abroad.
After recapitulating the history of the Gari-
baldian enterprise, the note continues—" The
facts will leave none but a painful recollection.
That union was not disturbed affords a proof of the
political maturity of the Italian population, their
attachment to the constitutional monarchy, and
the discipline of the army.

"Nevertheless the watch word of the volunteers
was truly the expression of the imperious necessi-
ties of the nation which claims its capital.
"If Garibaldi has been resisted it is solely because
it is convinced that the Government will attain its
end, and that the Catholic Powers, France above
all, will recognise the danger of maintaining the
antagonism between the Papacy and Italy.
" The present situation is no longer tenable, and
would end by involving extreme conaequences,
compromising the religious interest& of catholicism
and the tranquillity of Europe."

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Biter. 18.
In the sitting of the committee on the military
budget to-day, the Minister of War said that, in
adopting the amendment proposed by Herr von
Wicks, the government bad made a concession
which be hoped the committee would recognise as a
basis for bringing about a reconciliation between
the Chamber and the government. Such a result
would be joyfully hailed by the government and
the country as averting a deplorable complication.

The Minister further said that the discussion of
the budget of 1862 was independent of that on the
budget of 1863. The government, for technical
military reasons, could not give its adhesion to Herr
Stavenhagen's amendment as applied to the budget
of 1863, and would consider itself guilty of a viola-
tion of duty in consenting to it on account of the
present state of peace.
The committee was of opinion that the explains-
tion of the Minister of War only concerned
technical military objections to the introduction of
the system of two years' service in the army, and
that nothing had been said about a legal settlement
of the question.
All the members expressed their dissatisfaction
with the ministerial declaration, and Herr von
Tweeter declared that further discussion would be
fruitless.

The Minister of War finally said that the
government would be mindful of its promise to
bring about a legal settlement of the question.
On the motion of Herr Hoverbeck, the committee
unanimously declared that the declarations made
yesterday and to-day by the government were not
calculated to bring the debate on the budget to
an end.

The Minister of Finance, although present at the
sitting, made no speech.
To-morrow there will be a full sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies.
