Thome Nettseings,selilacsecTetseP, who is not unknown
to the sporting world sea professional pedestrian, having
won 'Revere' running and walking matches, was brought up on
a charge of robbing Henry Gower. • gardener, of his watch
and some money.
The prosecutor I. the son of Mr. Gower, grower to the Earl
of Lansdale, at Barnes, and mode the acquaintance of the
prisoner some time ago, when the latter was staying at Barnet
to train fora rata. On Christmas Eve be met the prisoner
in Covent-garden Market, where he (prosecutor) was making
some purchase for his father. The prisoner induced him to
go to • public hones, where they had • glass of gin each, end
the prisoner borrowed • shilling from him. After that
they went to the Cock and Magpie, in Drury-lane,
where they ordered some beer, and the prosecutor par-
took of a crust of bread and cheese. The prose-
cutor was than, he declared, perfectly sober; but he had
no seen., drunk • portion of the porter than he bemuse se
stapelled that he was now unable to give any aooouet of what
afterwerilsooeorred. Two little boys, named Edward end
Thomas Middy, who live In George-yard (a narrow erl-ele.
NM adjoining as Cock and Magpie), stated that &both half-
pest 7 o'oloce they ear the prisoner leading the prosecutor
thee the court. They were both the worth for liquor, Gower
being quite Incapable. Shortly after, one of the boys saw the
riceseuntowe lying in died ya.rdifsfd the

that something was wrong, fetched their mother, :Irlh=
the man lying down, and the prisoner kneeling on his
cheat. On seeing her he got up, and said, "It is all right; I
am a friend of his, and I will take oars of him." She %enema
the boys to fetch the ostler, who, however, beinghaselfdr
merely said, " Never mind, it's only a drakes ma," and
went away. After this the boys saw the primossr ant Ike
roan's pocket open, sad take away his wall& and sonney,
saying he " WOlllO take ogre of dem." After this he drag
the man further up the yard, and delimited him in • hea of
slush behind some carte in s cormer. They noticed that the
coon's heed bed been test and wee bleeding. There he re-
mained till 12 o'olotk, when Mr. Checkly, who had been

by his "friend Cummings."
The prisoner, notwithstanding an ingenious defence by
Mr. Lewis, jun., was committed for trial.

RUSSIA AND SARDINIA.

A letter dated Turin, 21st Oct., thus describe
the resell of the Rumen minister :

" Prince L6on de Gagarin, charged with the Rus-
sian Legation in our capital, yesterday presented a
note to M. Cavour, in which he officially signifies
the recall of the whole Legation. This recall is
motified on the ground that the government of King
Victor Emmanuel has never taken any notice of the
communications and verbal representations which
the Court of St. Petersburg thought fit to make to
Piedmont respecting everything connected with re-
cent events, and especially as regards the entrance
of Piedmonteae troops into the kingdom of Naples.
"M. Cavour, on receiving this communication,
immediately telegraphed to the Marquis Sauli, the
Sardinian Minister r t St. Petersburg, to demand
his passports. This eveat, though expected, has
caused rather a painful sensation here. Prince de
Gagarin leaves to-morrow for Paris. M. de Gereb-
aoff, Secretary of Legation, left last night for
Waraw."

SIGNS OF WAR.

A letter from Turin of the 21st says :—" The
news of the day is serious, and the government is
on the alert. Five new battalions of the National
Guard are to be called out, and the period of ser-
vice of those already under arms is to be prolonged
for forty days. As soon as the annexatitie of
Naples shall have been officially completed, there
will be a levee of 100,000 men throughout the
whole of Italy, and it is hoped that there will be
an army of 300,000 in line by spring. Tbe 56 in-
fantry regiments now existing will be dividel
into four battalions. Some of the regiments have
have at present only two battalions, but a third is
in actual course of formation. The 50 battalions
of bersagliori are likewise to be put on a complete
footing. The army of Garibaldi will also be regu-
larly organised, and supply the cadres for new
regiments. If Austria decides upon action, it is
believed that she will not give much time for
deliberation, and that her attack will be rapid and
vehement. The opinion of the Sardinian govern-
ment may be seen by the following language of
one of its least noticed but most judicious organs,
the Piccolo Carriers &Italia :

Daring the last three months we have been pointing out
the leaflike tendencies cf the Austrian court, and we here
never been deceived by its pacific protestations. We repeat
to-day on reliable information from Vienna that war is
there looked upon as imminent, and that Austna means to
play her last card. Althnugh the result of the Warsaw
congress may not be wholly favourable to her designs, no
one doubts bat th►t she will immediately cross the ilinciu
end the Po. We need not be alarmed, but neither must
we be mist,.
" This language truly represents the feeling
which *Lista in all government circles, and the
acts of government are quite in keeping with its
tenor."

DEATH BY DROWNING.

Au inquest was held at the Crown Tavern,
opposite Old Lambeth Church, before Mr. W. Carter, the
coroner for the eastern division of the county of Surrey, to
investigate the circumstances under which a late church-
warden of Lambeth came by his death. The following evi-
dence was adduced :

~Biehard
Wileonl am a waterman, livingat 28, William-
street, Isimbeth. On Saturday morning, between eleven
and twelve o'clock, I was rowing moron the river from Lam-
beth-stairs over the Horeeferry when I saw something
Boating in the water, on the ebb tide. I went to it and
picked it up, and found it to be the body of • man. I
brought it ashore ; and it was taken in a shell to the dead-
house. The body had evidently been in the water several
hours—l should say at lout eight or ten.
Matthew Bayles • labourer in the employ of the sexton
of Lambeth, deposed that he assisted in placing thedeceased
in a shell. He searched the body, and found in the jacket
• port-inonnaie, containing is. and a threepenny piece.
There were also several cards, all bearing the name of
".0. B. Teague ," but each having a separate address. Then
Ina also • 64nk cheque on the Commercial Bank. There
was also • document found, which stated that Mr. C. B.
was subject to attacks of palpitation of the heart and
the heed, and whenever so seized, Mr. Collam-
;TLambetloterrace surgeon, was so be sent for.
James Woolrich, mate of the Iron Siesta-boat Company's
vessel the Twilight, proved the fact of the deceased being •
passenger on Sunday evening, about half-past 7 o'clock,
and had previously known him by sight as a regullz
p ace
r. He was sitting on the starboard side of the with
one foot on the lower rail, the other on the de*.
going under the new suspension bridge deceased soddenly
tell bukwards, clean into the water. There had act been
any COMIOOII with any other boat, nor did an/thing POW to
mime the deceased to fall into the water. I did not hear
any aigirenim from the deceased at the time of ths fall, nor
anything that would leaders to think that his falling over
was intentional in any degree.
The jury returned a verdict that the deceased met his
death by accidentally falling off_ a river steamboat, through
being suddenly seized with bodily illness.

UNITED STATES AND CANADA.

LIVERPOOL, Tcrsoar.
The Montreal Ocean Mail Steamship Company's
screw steamer North American, Captain Acton,
from Quebec on the 13th, arrived hi the Mersey
about 5 o'clock this evening, bringing ili; passen-
gers. A telegraphic summary of her advises has
been already published.
The New York papers to band are only one day
later than those brought by the Persia and the
Canadian, and contain nothing of importance, with
the exception of the following despatch, an-
nouncing the arrival of the Prince of Wales
at New York on the afternoon of the
11th inst. :—" The Prince of Wales and suite
arrived at the Battery at 2 p.m., amid the booming
of cannon and cheering of thesande. lie was re-
ceived by Major Wood and other notables. After
reviewing the militia—which he did in colonel's
uniform—he prooeeded up Broadway in au open
baroucho drawn by six coal-black horses. The
most unbounded enthusiasm prevailed. Broadway:
was densely packed with human beings of all
classes; house windows packed to overflowing;
housetops completely covered ; and every available
square inch covered. The demonatratiou hens
entirely eclipsed all others ; the Atlantic table and
Japanese celebrations cannot be compared with it.
Half a million people lined Broadway, and there
was a splendid military display. The prince looked
well, and was apparently in good spirits, continu-
ally bowing to the people. The weather wits fine
—a lovely day. Seats sold on Broadway 4 from
5 dole. to 20 doll. each. It war a grand sight to
see the waving of handkerchiefs. There was a
good display of British flags."
The municipal election iu Baltimore on the 10th
resulted in the return of the reform candidate for
Mayor by an overwhelming majority.
There wares few additional details of the lora of the
Counaught. A Boston telegram of the 10th says
" When the Minnie Schiffer arrived at he,. wharf
immediate steps were taken by the agents of the
Galway Steamship Company iu this city to relieve
the Inuits of the passengers. They were furnished
with food and clothes of every description it once.
Those bound out of the city were freely furnished
with railway tickets to their destination, and those
remaining hero with boarding houses and money.
Everything that was possible was promptly and
cheerfully June by the agents. Captain Leitch,
officers, and engineers will leave for England by
the Canada, next Wednesday. The stewards,
sailors, and firemen will go out by the Glasgow,
sailing on the 13th."
Later advises from liavannali had been received,
but they were quite unimportant. The sugar
market was unchanged. The city was healthy.

they are constructed, but stated that, on trial, they bedtime

roast this was not possible, and the Emperor having
invited him to test his mopes at VIDOIADINN he readily
speed to do so spinet the beet riles that could be produced
in competition with it. He swiwilio&y telegraphed

the trial took place, and the 'ty of the Whitworth
rifle was so manifest red dsafsive that at the 700 metres
range the French marksmen retired from the contest coin-
plotely discomfited. The same even* tiro report of the

BRADFORD, WAKEFIELD, AND LENDS
RAILWAY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held on Tuesday at Bradford ' • Mr. W. FIRTH presided.
Mr. Lthrath, the secretary, read the report, an abstract
of which has appeared in our column.
The CIILMI•N, in moving the adoption of the report, said
the total payments on capital account up to the 30th
of June amounted to 200,3811. The additional outlay
which the directors proposed to incur was in the erection
of a few cottages and an engine shed at Ardaley, and a
small yammer station at Hesston, which he supposed
would Cost 2,000/. or 3,000/. This expenditure they
proposed to meet by the sale of some of the sur-
plus property belonging to the company. The works
at Banton. which had been recently opened by the
Low Moor Company, were likely to become important
feeders to this company. The engine shed at Ardsley would
enable the company to work the coal traffic to advantage.
The traffic during the five half-years mince the opening of
the line had steadily increased. In the current half-year,
also, the traffic had gone on satidactonly • the local pas-
senger traffic in the last nine weeks had shown an increase
of 15 per cent. as compared with the corresponding period
of last year, while the increase in the coal traffic was
a little over 80 per cent. In recommending a dividend
at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum for the last half-
year the directors believed they were recommending
that which it was perfectly ode to divide. He
hoped the shareholders would get 7 per cent. for the
current half-year. With respect to the contest in Parlia-
ment to obtain the act for making the Osset branch he re-
gretted that the expenditure was so large, bat in conse-
quence of the strenuous effort made by the Lancashire and
Yorkshire commov to defeat the Mil the directors of this
cempaay found that the importance of that branch was
greater than they bad at lint anticipated.
Mr. Haunts seconded the motion.
The resolution was paned unanimously.

HARVFST PRORPECTS IN IRELAND.

A marked change for the better (says the Dotm-
patriek &conk r) is visible all over the country. Reaping
of wheat has commented in several parts of Leoale ; -and
should it please Providence to favour the country with
favourable weather, reaping will be pretty general in this
district next week. The crops •ppear to be arriving at
maturity in • satisfactory way, and although the harvest is
an unusually late one, vet if there be favourable weather for
its in-gathering the yield will not be so far short as was
feared some time ago. As to the potato crop, there can be
no doubt of a ilartial blight ; but it is by no means to a
serious extent in this neighbourhood. Those sent to market
continue dry and well-flavoured. Generally speaking, the
green crops look well, and promise • fair average return.
The Cork Examiner rays—" The improvement which we
noted on Friday has continued up to the present with com-
paratively little variation. Ou Saturday indeed heavy
showers fell, but in so capricious • fashion that it was quite
evident they were not general. For instance, while it was
quite dry in Cork, torrents of rain fell in Passage, seven
miles away, and rite reran. The whole of Sunday was fine,
and Monday geui.il sad warm. The improvement that has
taken place in the standing crops is marvellous, while
harvest operations have gone on with great energy. Reaping
has become quite general, and numerous fields are now to
be seen with the corn stacked."

NEW AMERICAN CONFEDERACY.

The New York Erening Post mays that the people
of the Canada., while loyal to the British throne, are not
content to remain for ever mere colonists, with no chance of
imperial dignities : they don't wish to be called for ever
Canadians, New Brunsivickera, Nova &Wane, Prince Ed-
ward's Islanders, Newfoundlanders, &c.; but they wish to
have a national character. The Post adds :—" We have
reasok to suppise that one of the ends proposed by this
visit of the Queen's eldest son to Canada will be to prepare
a suitable response to these aspirations, and that it will be
forthcoming very soon after the return of the royal party
to England. If we may judge from such information as
has already transpired some new name will be given to the
entire British American states, and they will be placed
under the rule of the young gentleman whom they
are now receiving with so much attention, with the title
and power of a viceroy. That something of this kind is iu
contemplation there can be no doubt. If this tour were
made simply for educational purposes, like his trip
to the states of the continent, and to various parts of the
British Islands, he would not be permitted to receive greater
or more costly attentions from the Queen's subjects then lie
received then : whereas he is received in Canada as the im-
mediate representative of the sovereign, the same etiquette
and homage being rigorously required in ell cases, he clone
being indulged with the freedom of intercourse which Euro-
peon sovereigns usually part with on mounting the throne.
We may, therefore, reasonably expect, as one of the fruits
of this visit, the creation of lied River into a colony, and
then the furmatiou of a united confederacy, extending from
Canada on the east to British Columbia on the west, com-
posed of *ix or eight independent state sovereignties, united
under a single vice. regal federal head, to Le as nearly inde-
pendent as can be made to consist with the Queen's supre-
macy."

GARIBALDI AT A REVIEW.

A Claiwets, letter of the lfith says :
" This morning, at 6 p.m., Garibaldi reviewed the 15th
Division (Ttirr), which is now almost entirely collected Rt.
Caserta. The troops were drawn up on the esplanade be-
fore the palace, where • few moments before the review
began Colonel Nara had arrived likewise with a part of the
English Brigade, which landed yesterday at Naples. Thy
were just in time to be reviewed by Garibaldi. As in hie
!Mingo operations, so in his reviews Garibaldi is prompt,
Rua quick. Putting his bores in a canter, be
galloped along the ranks, and having done this,
he alighted from his horse, and bad all the offi-
cers called up to form. • circle round him. When they
had all come up he said :—' lay old comrades, we have
done much in • short time, and I thank you in the name of
oar country, of which you have well merited. Convey
these my thanks to the soldiers under your comniaud.'
Then turning round to the officers of the British Brig:ele,
ho continued:—' With pleasure I see round here the repre-
sentatives of a nation which, from the beginning, has done
me much for our cause, which has helped no in every way,
and to whose powerful voice we owe it., in a great measure,
that the principleof non-iuterventionhastieen upheld, which
is our safety." Then, turning to the officers of the Hun-
prism Legion, he said —' As for our bravo If virinrian
comrades, who hare shed their blood for us, wo owe them
a large debt of gratitude. Their cause in ours, and to help
them in their torn is our moat sacred duty. which w will
A seminal cry of ' We will'.' was the rin,wer.
Then addressing all in general, he concluded by thanking
once more the officers for the faithful way hi which they

had supported him. These few words, which take up Hp
little VIM on paper, it took considerable time to deliver.
Garibaldi, gifted by nature with rare eloquence, had lost
his oratorical power through deep emotion, which soon
affected all assembled. With that iastiactive magnetism
which communicates itself in such momenta, his old cam.
pinions of the first expedition, whu formed a great part of

RAILWAY COLLISION NEAR MANCHESTER

An alarming collision took place a few minutes
before noon yesterday on the Loudon and North Western
Railway, between the Longsight and Ardwick stations, war
Manchester. A presger train to Headwater laving
stopped at the Ardwick station that tickets might be col-
lected, a 'wood train of empty luggage waggons which bad
been following had also to be brought to a stand in the
rear of it. M hilst these two trains were standing there, •

perinea of the rails, and the coeseqnsut inlimahulstion of
the driver. The collision was severe, the rear =rigs of
the luggage train beirrg smashed to phew, and the ennuis of
the passenger train lame thrown off the fte. Fortunately
the ballast on the he. at the point of 0011b1011, which
is a viaduct, is a soft deep loam, and owing to the
depth of this loam, and to the feet that the pas-
senger engine ran upon • wheel of the tempip em-
bedded in it, the train was brought to • stand in •disiaace
of about ten yard& The passengers in the lineehefield
train were thrown rather violently from thdr eft* and
about twenty of them sustained severe bruise about their
beads and faces, but Done of them, it is believed, unstained
any fractures of bone" or other more serious injuries. A
female was taken to the Manchester Infirmary, who it is
stated was • good deal shaken, and some fears are enter-
tained that she has sustained a slight injury to the spine.
A young lady had • severe laceration of the forehead, just
over one eye, which Mr. Harrison. the medical officer of the
bee, had to stitch up, but there was reason to believe that
she ha escaped any concession of the brain. The
other pamengers either walked to their homes from
the scene of the accident, or proceeded to Man-
chester so soon as the train could be hacked,
and the carriages got upon the other line of rails. Some of
the following trains, including the newspaper mail train
from London, were detained about 40 minutes, but the rail,
were so soon cleared that the interruption of traffic was not
of a serious character. Amoog the passengers injured were :
Mr. John Brindle, of Kingeley, director of the Midland
lisle, about 80 years of aaggee,, who received • cut on the fore-
head ; Mrs. Oldham, Yioolafid4 a similar injury ; and
Mr. T. Loupsaff, Cougletoe, Mr. J. Barton, Accringtoo,

,E OF EUROPE.

(From a Cormspesdant of Ls Preen.)
Such is all the military news I have to send
you, and it was hardly worth the trouble of writing. What
has induced me to lead you this letter is the curious docu-
ment' enclose. It is a project drawn up by Garibaldi ; and
you will see that it beers the stamp of the originality of hie
character. I give it you as authentic, and believe that the
Preen will be the first journal that publishes it ; for what
I mad you is a rough sketch, just put into my hands by a
staff officer of the Dictator. I leave to you the task of esti-
.. . .

mating the political importance of this project, which diplo-
matists will be sure to declare fantastic.
-

We must, nevertheless, take into :mount the General's
- •

desire to see Europe trenquil and happy, and the welfare
of mankind resting on more solid and conservative bases.
"

He may be mistaken in his views, het, believe me, his
wishes for peace and universal happiness are beyond a doubt.
The great warrior in these national struggles desire, nothing
better than to return to his fields tad his garden in the
island of Caprers!
