THE SUN.
LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1862.

The last version of Mr. LINDSAY'S very important
motion for to-eight is given as follows :—" That,
in the opinion of this House, the States which
have seceded from the Union of the republic of the
United States have so long maintained themselves
under a separate and established government, and
have given such proof of their determination and
ability to support their independence, that the
propriety of offering mediation, with the view :of
terminating hostilities between the contending
parties, is worthy of the serious and immediate
attention of her MAJESTY'S Government ; and that
this House will cordially support her MAJESTY in
any measures she may consider it expedient to
adopt, in concert with other Powers, to put an end
to the civil war in America." It will be seen that
the resolution now leaves the question open—what
shall be the object of the mediation ! The differ-
ence in the new version of the motion is that it
does not specify " recognition" of the South as
worthy of consideration, and does not almost hint
at forcible intervention by the addition of an alter-
native " otherwise" to mediation.

We have little doubt what the reply of the Go-
vernment will be. To do nothing is not only the
easiest course, bet may also be the best one ; and
such plenty of argument may be found on its favour,
little likei•y any
that it is Government would
desert such well protected o%,iial entrenchments.
That we ought not to rdeddle with the internal
strifes of other nations, is a doctrine England has
so long maintained that she would have it thrown
in her teeth at once were she to intervene by force,
and we think justly so. The mediation is reduced,
therefore, to one of diplomacy--to one in which we
must not hint, a threat which we are even to think
of following up by a war to enforce our views. All
is to be amiable, pacific, and benevolent. Is such
a mediation possible ?
It seems to us, we confess, impracticable. Unless
the European Powers are prepared to unite to say
that this war shall cease, it will not cease. No
object can the mediators propose but that of separa-
tion into two Governments. The South will hear
of nothing less—the North will never consent to it
unless coerced by the courage and ability of the
South, or by an overwhelming combination of other
Powers. Now we hold, as we have before done,
that the moral right of France and England to re-
open the cotton trade on behalf of their starving
citizens is strong enough to override the technical
and artificial right of Americans to stop the trade
and starve us. We should not feel the least
scruple on that ground ; but would mediation
on such a basis as recognition of the South, even if
backed by all the Powers of Europe, be successful.
We believe that
the insatiable ambition of the
North, with its long-cherished " manifest destiny"
notions, would render • •
it futile. Thus, look at it
which way we will, there seems to us to be but one
point really needing decision that iF, are we pre-
pared to reopen the Southern cotton trade by
force, should that be necessary. It we are
not, we

may as well leave things as they are. The Yankees
would snap their fingers at even a unanimous re-
presentation of all the Five Great Powers of
Europe, and think themselves brave fellows for
doing it. We are by no means sure that they
would not declare war against them all with plea-
sure ; their bitterness being really directed against
the mother country only.
We have, however, every reason to believe that
such madness would be of very short duration, and
the probability is that a universal European
acknowledgment of the claim of the South to in-
dependence would dispose all the cool-headed men
of the North to embrace the opportunity of with-
drawal from a struggle in which the North seems
so likely to be foiled. Let the resolution, there-
fore, be expressed as it may, the real question is
that of recognising the South, with all the conse-
quences likely to follow. A contemporary tells us
that we have an easy way oat of our own great
difficulty. "If (he says) we were to put a differen-
tial duty of 6d. a pound on American cotton, and
help on our cotton industry, until India, thus
stimulated and guaranteed, had produced her
stores, that would be our ultimate possibi-
lity of loss." We might in this way spend
a few millions, and look quietly on while America
was retiring to jungle. We wonder that the one
insuperable objection did not occur to our contem-
porary. We have often wished we could give a
guarantee to India such as would call forth her best
efforts by laying a heavy duty on slave grown
cotton—but unless we could get all the manufac-
turing nations to do the same, should the civil war
subside and the American cotton trade be re-opened,
our neighbours would obtain their cotton on terms
which would enable them to distance us in any mar-
ket. They would obtain their supplies, indeed, all
the cheaper, in consequence of our refusal. As
things stand, hopeless as it would be to think of
bringing France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain
into a treaty to lay a ten years' heavy duty on slave
grown cotton, it would yet probably be for their
ultimate advantage as well as ours. They all want,
as well as we, to create varied sources of supply,
and not to be henceforth dependent, any more than
ourselves, on America alone. Were such a treaty
possible, and were it coupled with the exclusion of
the produce of American looms from every European
and colonial market, we might leave the combatants
to fight out their quarrel with perfect indifference.

Again—Where are the Police P A member of
Parliament is on his way from the House of Com-
mons to the Reform Club, when, at one o'clock on
Monday night, or more strictly speaking on Tues-
day morning, he is brutally struck down in one
of the most public places in all London or West-
minster. A very few years ago the terrors of
Burglary and Garrotting frightened the capital
from its propriety from Bow to Hammersmith, from
Highgate to Norwood. The West-end generally,
but more particularly the ill-starred neighbourhood
of Notting-hill, became for a while the scene of
these disgraceful outrages. Insomuch that towards
the close of the period still borne in painful remem•
brance by many as the time of the burglars and
garrotters, one of those preposterous pieces of ex-
travagance, the farces generically known as "Adelphi
Screamers," enabled all the unscathed Londoners,
who had survived the epoch of danger just then
coming to its close, to laugh at the recollection of
the panic it had not unnaturally given rise to in
many a suburban household. To laugh at the
remembrance of that panic as then and there de-
picted by two of the drollest of our low comedians,
in a fugitive piece, entitled " A Night at Notting-
hill." The burglars, then driving for a while
a roaring trade here in the metropolis, have
since that favoured period flitted away (after the
fashion of Mr. SYKES, when London became too hot
for him) to distances more or less remote in the pro-
vinces. Only occasionally obliging the inhabitants
of the capital every now and then at uncertain in-
tervals with their nocturnal attractions. As to the
garrotters, they unhappily have remained all along
rather more faithful to their principal scene of
action. Not but what several of the country towns
have had the honour of casual visits from some of
the more adventerous and nomadic professors of the
dreadful art. In the metropolis especially, however,
the system of garrotting has flourished all this long
while almost unremittingly. The police cases have,
it is true, demonstrated the fact varyingly—but with
the maintenance of a frightful average. Sometimes
for a very brief interval, indeed, the crime has
seemed to lapse out of view altogether; only to crop
up again, however, in more miserable abundance.
And between whiles, when there were apparently
no distinct cases of garrotting—not a doubt
but that many a prostrate man picked up by the
police towards the small hours in a state of insen-
sibility, owed his condition to the attentions of some
vanished garotter, rather than to those convivial
influences which induced Mr. BEN ALLEN to knock
double knocks at the gate of the Borough-market
under the mistaken idea that he was on his own
doorstep.

Flagrant, however, though the conduct
of these ruffianly garrotters has but too often been
before now in various parts of the metropolis, and
at different times since their cruel system of rob-
bery by all but assassination, came into vogue—we
do not remember any instance that has yet been
related in which there has been manifested a more
audacious defiance of detection than in this very last
instance, in which the victim of the assault is a
member of Parliament. Mr. PILKINGTON'S
treatment by the garrotters has been de-
scribed both by Lord HENRY LENNOX
1 in the House of Commons and by Mr. PILKING-
TON himself out of it. Both accounts being
wonderfully minute and circumstantial. The noble
lord's account of the occurrence, as given viva voce
to the house last evening, ran as follows :—" On
Thursday morning last, at one o'clock," said Lord
HENRY LENNOX, " the hon. member for Blackburn,
having been performing his duties at the house,
proceeded on foot to his hotel. On reaching
Waterloo-place, near the Guards' Monument, he
Was assaulted, but by whom he had no recol-
lection. The attack was so sudden that he
neither
saw the assassin nor remembered
feeling the blow. In a state of partial in-
sensibility he
crawled to his hotel, when it
was found that
serious personal injuries had been
inflicted upon
him, His jawbone had been much
cut ; there were severe contusions on the head, and
a very suspicious sensation round
the medical men too clearly the' throat showed
he nature of the gar-
rotting ..

arrival at home, his
when, upon his pockets came
to be examined. His own account of the t ransae_
m
Prea —..
tion is given by us in another part of our i
sion, where the outrage is described at more length.
From all which it will manifest how daring was
the assault made upon the Member for Blackburn,
whether regard be had to the time or to the place
selected for its perpetration. It is idle, of course,
to argue that nothing could have been done to
prevent the risk of finch an occurrence. For the
case of Mr. P
- ILSINGToN is not, in itself, by an y j
gleans an exceptinnf4i cse, beyond the Mere

circumstance of the exceeding audacity of its per-
petrators. A similar inciden takes place as we learn
almost simultaneously in another particularly public
part of the metropolis, namely, in Bond-street. The
statistics of garrotting of late years would would
present a very fright catologue of outrages to view
if they were only brought together (as we trust that
under the circumstances they now will be brought
together at some metropolitan member's suggestion)
in the form of an authentic parliamentary paper. It
is idle, we repeat, and monstrous, to argue quietly
that nothing can be done to guard the people
of this civilised metropolis, and members of Parlia-
ment themselves, from the recurrence of these brutal
outrages. If our police constables were less assi-
duous in the day time in their suspicious regard of
innocent visitors to the Exhibition, and in actually
taking into custody persons of the highest respec-
tability upon utterly groundless charges of attempt-
ing to pick-pockets—her MAJESTY'S lieges, and
among them the people's representatives, would not
be so liable to be half-strangled in Bond-street and
in Waterloo-place—in this last mentioned instance,
at a point as public as midway between the Duke of
Yoßx's Column and the Guards' Memorial, between
the United Service Club and the Athenaeum.

What is the interpretation of GARIBALDI'S Sici-
lian fulminations against the French EMPEROR.
We adverted to some of them a few days ago, and
compared them with the polite and diplomatic
expression of the same sentiments by Lord Rua-
SELL himself. We observe that his supporters in
the Italian Parliament have made the very same
comparison; they have represented his denuncia-
tions as only the frank soldier's utterance of the
diplomatist's generalising statements. If Lord

RUSSELL may, in a despatch to Lord COWLEY

which was to be read to M. TIMUYENEL, say, that
the position of the French at Rome was such a
violation of international law, and of principles in
which the French and English Governments had
agreed that it could not last long, GARIBALDI
might be excused for personifying the outrage in
the man who places the French soldiers where
they are, and for denouncing the " autocrat and the
wilful tyrant." Such is the representation of his
friend CRISPI. RATTAZZI, on behalf of the Go-
vernment, affirmed that the Sicilians were so
strongly attached to the war-cry, " Italy and
VICTOR EMMANUEL," that this was one chief cause
of GARIBALDI'S success. He denied that there was
any danger in calling the Sicilian authorities to
account for being present while GARIBALDI insulted
the EMPEROR.

But GARIBALDI, according to the Turin news-
papers, rather waxes warmer than otherwise.
"People of Palermo !" he is reported to have said,
" Your aspirations are those of the Peninsula. Let
all Italians be unanimous in one will—the unity of
the country. But let us have no words; let us
have deeds and protests—not in writing—the pro-
tests of a brave people determined to free their
brethren still groaning in fetters. The master of
France, the traitor of the 2a of December, under
the pretence of screening from harm the person of
the PoPE, of protecting religion, Catholicism, oc
cupies Rome. It is a false pretence—or lie. He
is actuated by covetousness, by a robber's lust, by
an infamous thirst for empire ; he is the first sup-
porter of brigandage; the chief of Southern assas-
sins !" He goes on to exhort the people
to arm themselves, to be each ready with
a dagger ; to be prepared, if necessary, for a
new rehearsal of the Vespers; he denounces Murat-
ism as proconsulship of France, and of course does
not forget him in whose name the French " tyrant"
perpetrates his crimes against Italy :—" The Pope-
King, or the King-Pope, is a negation of Italy.
Our Government is not strong enough to shake off
the yoke of France. The people must strengthen
them by its compactness and energy. Let us throw
our well sharpened weapens into the scales of
diplomacy, and diplomacy will respect our rights ;
she will give us Rome and Venice. The programme
with which we crossed the Ticino and landed at
Marsala must still be ' Italy and Victor Emmanuel.'
The same programme will lead us to Rome and
Venice." And this is the strain of all his addresses
as they are reported in the Rapers—denunciation of
Bourbonism, Muratism, and of the Pope, but chiefly
of the EMPEROR, because, but for his "infamous"
thirst for empire and consequent occupation of
Rome, all the others would be harmless.

What means this new eruption of GARIBALDI'S
indignation ? Is it the long pent up fires of a
generous and brave nature, unable longer to endure
the hypocrisy of the French EMPEROR, and deter-
mined to risk everything rather than see Italy ex-
change an Austrian for a French yoke ? Or has
any one given him the hint that his invectives,
while necessarily disclaimed and censured by the
Italian Government, would yet be acceptable to it ?
GARIBALDI, we may be quite sure, is not the man
to forget that the blows inflicted on Austria by a
French army rendered Italian unity possible in
1859 and afterwards—and he would be, willingly,
grateful—but the same generosity'which would dis-
pose him to condone the treachery and violence of
the French Government in respect to Rome in
1849, if France honourably atoned for the crime of
subverting the Roman republic, must turn to con-
tempt of a Government which persists in the crime
it ought to blush for. No words of GARIBALDI can
be tco strong, in the judgment of any noble mind, to
express the perfidy, selfishness, and meanness of
the EMPEROR'S Government in Savoy and Nice, in
Gaeta, and in Rome, since the Austrians were ex-
pelled from Lombardy, and Italy was becoming in-
dependent. The revulsion of a pure and noble soul
like GARIBALDI'S from all this baseness may well,
therefore, be the sole cause of his language.

As to the prudence of all this there will be diffe-
rent opinions. GARIBALDI and his friends think
nothing will drive Louis NAPOLEON out of Rome
but exposure of his crime, or force. He evidently
thinks the French—for GARIBALDI carefully dis-
tinguishes between the EMPEROR and the people—
will at last get ashamed of their EMPEROR'S policy
when it drives the WASHINGTON of Europe to paint
him to all Europe in his true colours. Those who
censure GARIBALDI remark that, by gaining the
recognition of Russia, the EMPEROR has laid the
kingdom of Italy under fresh obligations. This
the more liberal Italians deny. Russia and Prussia
are but the shells of the oyster, Rome is the oyster,
and that the EMPEROR keeps. Moreover, the
Turin Government had to humble itself to break-
ing up the Polish school as the condition of Roman
recognition. Besides Italy does not want the pa-
tronage or protectorate of France—if France will
do her justice, and cease to rob her of her capital,
she could wait for Russia and Prussia to come in
when they pleased.
There
i s ne consolation for the friends of Roman
and Italian liberty—the longer the EMPEROR up-
olds the Papal tyranny the worse does it appear to
all Europe. Father PASSAGLIA'S unanswerable
demonstration
that the temporal Princedom is no
part of the Popedom, and that it would be for the
good of the Church to renounce it, has been followed
by a
pamphlet, not less able, by a German Catholic,
DOLLINGZR, reviewed
in the number of the Edin-
burgh just issued, whichceti,Co.,
Doctorm shows at lengthes substantially to the
same conclusion ;
siii
that the temporal power was
a late incident, and

has been a very precarious, often injurious, adjunct
to the Headship of the Catholic Church. The Ger-
man Doctor hates the Italians, still he is not blind
to the intolerable wretchedness of the Roman Go-
vernment, and the reasonableness of their wish to
change it. When a German Catholic argues thus,
it is evident that the opinion is spreading that the
independence of the POPE is not furthered by his
dependence on French bayonets, and by his civil
government being the very worst in all Europe.
At present papacy is a miserable illustration of
worldly
en and mal-administration. This
n hardly
mbe theit
ian edifying example for the Bishop
e a a b
of Roman Catholic Christendom to set to his flock.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Last night Norma
was repeated for the second time. It was, doubtless, in
consequence of the extraordinary success of Mdlle. Titiens
in the character of Norma, on Saturday evening last, that
the house was crowded to excess. At the commencement
of the opera there was considerable disturbance for room in
the pit and gallery. At last, in answer to loud calls from
every part of the house for Mr. Mapleson, that gentleman
came forward. At his appearance the clamour abated, and
he proceeded to assure the audience that he regretted
deeply the inconvenience from which they were suffering,
while he thanked them heartily for the proof of the extent
of their patronage. In conclusion, he said that all persons
who desired it should instantly have their money returned,
or tickets handed them for another night. This announce•
ment had the effect of allaying the dissatisfaction, and the
performance was permitted to continue without any farther
interruption.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—Last night a fire broke
out on the premises belonging to Mr. E. Hnmm, a hatter,
carrying on business at No. 55, Holywell-lane, Shoreditch.
The flames commenced in the second-floor workshops, and
owing to the inflammable nature of the goods on the pre-
mises, the flames spread rapidly. The engines of the parish,
with Barton, the parish engineer, and several of the London
Brigade, including the land steamer by Shand and Mason,
quickly attended under the command of CaptAin Shaw and
Foreman Bridges and G. Gerrard. A good supply of the
East London Company's water having beer procured, all
hands went to work, but the flames could not be ex-
tinguished until the workshops in which this fire began
were burnt out and the roof destroyed. Forttnately, Mr.
Humm was insured in the Norwich Unica Fire.office.
There was also a fire on the premises bebnging to J.
Burton, a lodging-housekeeper, No. 8, Kiaierton-street,
Knightsbridge, which destroyed the Jewel part of the
building and severely injured the upper portiti. Unfortun-
ately, the occupier was uninsured. This fle was caused
from a spark flying out of the gate and settitg a quantity
of linen in flames.

THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY AND THE FLEET
SEWER.—We are glad to find that the accouds supplied of
the accident to these works on Wednesday
sere somewhat
exaggerated. The sewer, which, from beir4 overcharged
with storm water, forced itself into the belimouth of the
line, was a small auxiliary, forming one of tie district con-
uexious with the Fleet-ditch, in Maiden-lane King's .cross.
The rush of water into the railway worksat the station
now approaching completion at King's •crosi was alarming
for a short period, and threatened to becoae much more
extensive, but in consequence of the very hort time the
storm lasted, the flow of water into the woks did not ex-
ceed 21 feet in depth. All fear of further harp was over-
come by 12 o'clock at night. The whole of he works, both
upon the line and the sewer were yesterdp going on as
usual, every possible effort being made on he part of Mr.
Jay and his numerous staff of men to rekir the damage
occasioned by the fracture of the sewer coke weeks since,
so as to get the permanent way finished tothe temporary
station for the City at West street, near Faiingdon-street,
as soon as possible, and on bdhalf of the Metbpolitan Board
of Works to rebuild the sewer and make god the roadway
the entire length of the breakage.

at first anticipated, the bine in most of he plantations
has an exceedingly healthy appearance, Ind the Mid-
summer shoots are growing strong and vierously. The
slight boar frosts which were experienced few mornings
since have given a severe check to the hope in some of the
grounds, but in consequence of their healtly condition the
mischief will be but trifling. In all the grtnds the plants
have a moat luxuriant appearance, and shokld there be an
agreeable change in the weather, a fine crap may be safely
anticipated. Within the last few days (tyre have been a
considerable increase in vermin, but these are looked after
by an amazing number of "niggers," which destroy them
by myriads." In some of the more protected lands the
plants are already coming into burr, promising a somewhat
earlier crop. The number of acres of hops under cultivation
is believed to have decreased this year, but it is probable
that; notwithstanding this circumstance, the returns this
season, owing to the superior cultivation and other causes,
will show a growth as large as that in some of the best
years.

FEARFUL SCENr.- —Au Bell', troupe or eques
trians were proceeding through George's-street, Kings-
town, on Tuesday, previous to the Mid-day performance,
a man named Kelly, a shoemaker, incautiously got too
near the van containing the lions, for the purpose of teas-
ing them, when one of the beasts caught his arm in her
talons and dragged it into the cage, lacerating it in a fear-
ful manner—literally tearing all the flesb away from the
shoulder downwards. The lion also clutched at his face.
It was a fearful moment of suspense—the people about the
cage were bewildered, and totally powerless to render the
least assistance. Mr. Batty, the great lioa tamer, seeing
how matters stood, rushed boldly into the cage and beat
the brute with a loaded whip which be carried, and
succeeded in forcing the lioness to let go her prey. But
for Mr. Batty's intrepid conduct and timely assistance, the
unfortunate man would have been torn to pieces. To save
the man's life it was deemed necessary to amputate the
arm—Dublin Freeman.
The most careless may now have sobe idea and
feeling of what it must be to live in Russa. While, in
the chief cities, the great merchants are failiig every day,
and the insurance offices are bankrupt ; andwhile, in the
country, the families of nobles do not know which way to
turn to obtain the luxuries of life, which have become
necessaries to them, or even to get clothes to wear, the out-
side
world at least learns to pity them, and it is enough to
make anybody shudder to think of living in a groping
panic from day to day, not knowing whoa to trust, and
afraid to let anybody in, for fear of fire-balls and lucifer-
matches. While it is quite true, however, that society
there is in a fearful suspense, awaiting a hurricane, with-
out knowing to what quarter to look for it, or how to make
preparation against it, it is also true that this state of mind
is so far from being anything new, that Russians may
suffer less from it than we should. The gantry of South
Carolina declare that they enjoy life under conditions
which would spoil our pleasure in everything,—under
dread of fire, dread of being out after dark, dread of
country rambles, dread of poor whites in the woods, and of
poor blacks in their own houses ; and in the same way the
Russian gentry think themselves the gayest people in the
world, in their life of social precariousness, and of restric-
tion on personal action.—Once a Week.

BRAEMAR. —A GENTLEMAN LOST AMONG THE
HILLS.—On Wednesday,morning the 9th fast., an 'elderly
gentleman of the name of Jones left the lavercauld Arms
for a walk on the Glencallater Hills, to collect geological
specimens. He ordered a carriage to be in waiting at
Locheallater at five in the afternoon, which was punctually
attended to, but he did not make his appearance. Consi-
derable alarm was felt at the hotel when the coachman re-
turned at 11 o'clock at night, and reported that Mr. Jones
had not appeared. A man on horseback was immediately
despatched to the Glen, and at early hour in the morning a
body of young men and guides were sent to scour the.hills.
On Friday the search was continued; the people of the
village having turned out in numbers sufficent to make a
thorough examination of the hills, lakes marshes, and
waterfalls. About 11 o'clock a.m., Mr. Jceies was found
near the top of a precipitous cliff over whici he had fallen.
By a lucky chance his geological hammer lad caught in a
cleft of the rock, and to this he had clung. He was quickly
extricated from his dangerous position, whsre he had been
for 42 hours. He had sustained no serious bodily injury,
and is doing well.—Scotsman.

HOPS IN ENGLAND.—AIanY futile attempts were
made at an early period to cultivate hops inEngland. Mr.
Scott, while acknowledging that the best plants could be
obtained from Flanders, censures the Flemings for " dazel-
ing us with the discommendation of our 5031 e," and asserts
that we need not go abroad for that which we can find at
home. This was a little ungrateful. The hop, it is true,
grows wild in England, but it has never been brought to
complete perfection. The conclusion arrived at by a Par-
liamentary committee in 1857, after listening to a great deal
of evidence, was that the best hops in Europe are grown in
Bavaria and Bohemia. Those mown at Farnham are con-
sidered the best produced in England. Next in quality are
the hops of Sussex and Kent. Latterly, the crop has failed
to a very large extent, and the growers must be well-nigh
disheartened by their many losses. In the debate which
took place on the hop duties in the session of 1861, a mem-
ber, who had for some years cultivated hops on his own
land, stated that he had occasionally been in doubt whether
the hops on his poles were worth picking—so poor were
they in quality, and so unduly severe was the pressure of
the duty; for it is a strange anomaly that the same duty Is
charged on hops of the worst quality as on hops of the best.
