returned from Palermo, where the withdrawal of
Depretis, the Pro-Dictator, had called him, came
up, and about the same time a part of the Brigade
Eber appeared on the slopes of St. Angelo. It had
started from Santa Maria, and reached St. Angelo
without finding any true of the enemy, except
when its advanced guard came to the river, when
the Neapolitans opened out from two rifled guns at
the Scapo di Formicola, and from two others on the
height just above it, where an isolated house stands
called Casina di Palumbara. This height comes
down close to the opposite bank of the river, while
the heights of St. Angelo come likewise close down

on the left bank. The road thus is, as it were, in
a defile almost at a pistol shot from the battery

opposite. It was impossible for a force unprovided
with artillery to pass without exposing itself to

heavy losses. It was therefore decided to leave two
battalions on the road, partly to keep the enemy's
attention engaged, and partly to co-operate with
the column towards Capua, while the rest took the
mountain road.
The mountain road after crossing the ridge runs
along the steep and tolerably wooded sides of the
mountain called there Foresta di San Vito. Having
put himself into connection with the column to the
right, Gen. Garibaldi came up soon after from the
plain, where he had been observing the enemy's
position. The movement of this column having
been observed from Capua several large columns of
infantry and cavalry, besides a battery of artillery,
were seen approaching in haste to support the forces
' concentrated on these points. Towards noon Gen.
Turr sent the order to the Brigade Saulis to retire,
the news having arrived that the operation towards
Cajazzo had been successful, and that Cataben•
and his riflemen had driven the enemy from that
position. In this retreat, which was effected in
perfect order, Baron Gezzo, a Sicilian gentleman,
who had been with us since the entrance into
Palermo, seeing a wounded man close to the river's
bank, went out and put him on his shoulder, and
was almost within the line when a rifle ball hit him
through the thigh, shattering it to pieces. He
was a great favourite with all, and his loss which
is probable, would be universally regretted.
When the Neapolitans saw that our riflemen re-
tired they took courage, and came down to the
edge of the river, shouting " Viva it Re !"—nay,
three of them swam across to turn the farm-house
which had afforded a point d'appui to our riflemen.
Garibaldi seeing this gave the order to occupy the
house and keep the Neapolitans within due bounds.
Twenty riflemen and 20 of the Swiss company of
the Brigade Eber were sent down, who cleared the
shore in less than ten minutes, in spite of the heavy
cannonade which was opened upon them, and
which soon set the whole house in a blaze. To-
wards two p.m. this brigade likewise received the
order to withdraw. The Neapolitans, as soon as
they saw the movement began shelling, and with
so accurate an aim that several shells burst right
amidst the troops, but by a miracle hurt not a
single man.
The advance on the high road from Santa Maria
to Capin, had likewise begun soon after the others.
The Neapolitans followed their usual tactics, draw-
ing the advancing columu within the range of the
guns of the fortress. They sicceeded better than
ever before, for one of the brigades engaged got out
of hand and advanced without order till it came
within range not only of the guns of the fortress,
but likewise had to sustain an offensive return which
the enemy made with artillery and cavalry. In vain
did our two guns try to oppose the superior
force ; the commander being wounded, and many
of the artillerymen and horses, the guns had to be
dragged back by the infantry. The Brigade Tuppi
was sent in support, but unfortunately its comman-
der was mortally wounded in the very outset. This
threw the column into confusion, and for a moment
the enemy had time to retake part of the position
lost and burn the farmhouses, which had been of
great assistance to our men in their advance. But
this was only for a short time, for, order having
been restored, the Neapolitans were again driven
back to the border of the olive wood, close to the
glacis of the fortress.
By 2 p.m. all was over on this side too, but not
without the loss of above a hundred men.
The column to the left front La Foresta advanced
similarly, but was more fortunate in keeping
within its instructions, attracting the enemy's at-
tention on that side, but without engaging in a
combat.
On the whole our loss in wounded and dead
amounted to 160 men, but the object of the move-
ment was obtained by the taking of Cajazzo.

SEPT. 22.
On this side nothing new since the 19th, the Nea-
politans in the immediate outskirts of Capua firing
away a great deal of artillery ammunition on all
who show themselves. We, on our side, are wait-
ing for the development of the movement towards
Cajazzo. This latter place was, according to the
last accounts, threatened by the Neapolitans, and
the Regiment Vachieri, of the Division Medici, was
sent to assist.

IroIVDEN GREAT HORSE FAIR, YORKSHIRE,

This celebrated horse-fair, which commenced on
Thursday last and continued five days, was brought
to a termination yesterday. It is one of the chief
horse-fairs for which this county is famed, and this
year, as usual, the show was extensive, and com-
prised animals of first description and value. Many
large strings of horses from Ireland were on offer.
The fair attracted provincial dealers from all coun-
ties, and the principal jobmasters and others from
London bought largely, and all young and sound
horses readily found purchasers. Aged horses were
in dull request as compared with the great horse-
fairs which were held in the spring of the year.
Business was transacted at the following prices,
viz. :—For young horses suitable for double-harness,
broughams, and private carriage work, 65 to 85
guineas ; horses of high fashion were selected at
figures varying from 90 to 120 guineas, and
matched pairs of grays mid bays realized 250 to
300 guineas, and high-stepping ditto for phaeton
and single harness 85 to 110 guineas. Thick set
young horses, adapted for town work and public
vehicles, obtained buyers at from 35 to4B guineas;
short-jointed active horses, for van purposes and
light drays, were in high competition at prices
ranging from 45 to 65 guineas. Strong horses for
town and roadlwork fetched from 45 to 60 guineas;
well-built qmick-walking cart horses 38 to lab-
guineas. Aged and seasoned horses for agri-
cultural purposes, made 25 to 30 guineas.
Cart colts made from 30 to 40 guineas; and
two-year old ditto 20 :to 30 guineas. Well
bred young horses for park hacks, chargers,
&c., fetched 70 to 95 guineas, and high bred ditto
120 to 140 guineas. Cover hacks, roadsters, &c.,
25 to 35 guineas. Horses of high pedigree, and
broke for the hunting field, realised prices varying
from 90 to 120 guineas, and horses of celebrity and
up to heavy weight went at figures ranging from
130 to 150 and 180 guineas. Neat 'going co+.3s sold
at from 20 to 28 guineas, and handsome weight-
carrying cobs were selected at 35 to 50 guineas ;
unbroken colts sold at 20 to 45 guineas ; yearlings
12to 20 guineas; neat ponies fetched 15 to 20
guineas. Strong well-made young Irish horses,
commanded a good sale for both riding and har-
ness, and made figures of from 40 to 60 guineas. A
large herd of valuable young cattle, which had
been bred and reared in this country, were con-
signed from the fair to London. Competition ran
high for first-class horses, and prices were 40 per
cent. higher than those obtained some few years
since for similar descriptions of horses.

THE NA VY.

The following is from a letter, dated Valetta,
Sept. 22, half-past 2 p.m.:—
" Her Majesty's ship Caesar, Capt. T. Mason, left
port on the 16th inst. for Beyrout, with provisions
and stores for the fleet. The Orion left on the 19th,
to cruise off the coast of Sicily, that island being
reported to be in a very disturbed state. There are
in port the James Watt ; the Hibernia receiving
ship ; the Himalaya screw troop ship ; the Caradoc
despatch boat; the Mohawk and the Boxer gunboats.
" It is reported that a reactionist plot has been
discovered among the exiled partisans of the King
of Naples in Malta, and that a vessel has left this
island for Sicily laden with Bourbon flags, made up
in the form of Manchester manufactures. Castro
St. Giovanni, in the province of Caltanisetta, accord-
ing to rumour, is to be the rallying point. There
is no doubt that anarchy to a considerable extent
exists in the island, and that, even at Palermo and
Messina, several assassinations have taken place.
In consequence of superior orders from the Director-
General of Telegraphs at Palermo, and owing, it is
said, to the discovery of the alleged plot in Malta,
telegraphic communication between Sicily and
Malta has been suspended until further orders.
"From a letter published in the local journals I
learn that the Sardinian Government intends to lay
down an electric cable, which, if carried out, will
place Malta also in telegraphic communication with
the continent and the United Kingdom.
" Instructions have been received from England
for converting the Royal Malta Fencible Regiment
into an Artillery Corps, to be designated the
Royal Malta Artillery Corps,' An increase of
pay has been sanctioned by the War-office. The
officers will receive the same pay as officers of the
Line, and 21d. per diem will be added to the non•
commissioned officers and men. The regiment is to
be increased by two companies—that is, from 600
to 800 strong.
" Leave of absence has been granted to Lieut.
Graham, 2d battalion 23d Regiment, and to Lieut.
Waddington, R.A , the latter to proceed to Eng.
land for three months. In the absence of Lieut.-Col
Hallewell, Adjutant-General, who left by the:last
English packet to Marseilles, his duties are per-
formed by Major Bowden, 2d battalion 22d Regi-
ment.
" There has been a good deal of military insubor-
dination of late among the troops in garrison, and
a few days ago a man of the 22d Regiment was
tried by general court-martial for striking his cap-
tain. Robberies and other offences, committed by
soldiers, are becoming quite common, the object
alleged in many cases by the culprits being to escape
military duty.
" Fresh arrivals of French troops for Syria have
occurred during the last few days. The French
screw steamer Finistere came in on the 16th inst.
from Algiers, having on board 24 officers and 661
men, under the command of Col. Dubrincl, and the
Aube, on the 19th, from Algiers and Bona, with 15
officers and 278 men, all bound for Beyrout, for
which place, after a brief stay, they took their
departure.
" A letter from Tunis, dated September 13, re-
ceived on the 20th inst., announces that tranquilli▪ ty
remained undisturbed throughout that Regency.
The Bey was to leave Tunis about the 20th of this
month for Algiers, to be present at the fetes in pre-
paration there for the French Emperor's approach-
ing visit. Sidi Pasha, the brother of his Highness,
who is at present in the interior administeri▪
ng
justice and collecting tribute, has been recalled, to
take the reins of Government during the absence of
the Bey.
" Accounts from Candia to the 10th inst. announce
that affairs in that island were in a most alarming
state, and a revolt was considered imminent. A
great number of Greeks from the Morea had landed
in the province of Rettimo to excite the peasants to
rise against their Turkish masters, Armed bands
were already moving about the country.
" A letter this moment received from Marsala,
dated the 19th inst., says that a flying column of
300 Garibaldian troops had visited Marsala, and
was to visit different parts of the country for the
preservation of order."

Captain G. Goldsmith, C. 8., superintendent of
Chatham Dockyard, left that establishment yester-
day on leave of absence from the Admiralty. Com-
mander C. Pope, master-attendant, has assumed the
command of the establishment during the absence
of Captain Goldsmith.
Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham
Dockyard, directing 20 additional smiths and 16
sawyers to be entered for the service of that estab-
lishment in order to complete those vessels nearly
ready for launching. _ . .

Tile Trusty, 14, iron-cased steam floating battery,
in dock at Chatham, has a number of shipwrights
employed on her in removing those portions of her
hull which are found to be decayed from the ravages
of the marine worm. During the progress of the
work the timbers have been found to be considerably
decayed, but every portion of the bottom found to
be infested with insects is carefully removed, and
new.planks substituted, in order that none of the
insects may be left in the wood to continue their
destructive ravages.
The dimensions of the screw steam corvette
Pantaloon, 11, launched yesterday afternoon at
Devonport dockyard, are—length between perpen-
diculars, 151 ft. ; keel for tonnage, 131 ft. 31in. ;
breadth, extreme, 29ft. 1 in. ; for tonnage, 28ft.
gin. ; moulded, 28ft. 3in. ; depth of hold, 15ft. 10in. ;
burden in tons, 557 31-94.
The steam frigate Orlando, 50, got up steam in
Hamoaze on Tuesday, and being assisted by the
steam-tugs Prospero and Confiance, went outside
Plymouth breakwater to try her machinery, and
the effects of the reduction of her fan. The results
appeared to be satisfactory .
The gunboats Goshawk and Partridge, having
undergone a thorough repair, were put out of No. 1
dock at Keyham steam-yard on Tuesday, and the
Tilbury and Ripple were taken in.
The St. George, 91, screw, Capt. the Hon. F.
Egerton, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the
eastward. She is reported to have been ashore on
the banks off Flushing for some hours while in
charge of a pilot.
The paddle yacht Osborne, Master-Commander
George K. Bower, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday
afternoon from Antwerp and Dover, having called
at the latter port to land some of the Royal
household. _

The stem of the Royal Alfred, 91, screw, building
in Portsmouth yard, was yesterday successfully
raised and placed in position, under the superin-
tendence of Mr. llarvey, the boatswain of the yard.
