to me. You have only to looliiiiiiihis-facc,And you

in whose service you would take your heart in your
hand and follow him blindfold to death. I never
altogether understood that feeling 'until his pre-
sence made it clear to me. It is the individual man
and his personal influence that are so strong ; but
then it is the man exalted and sanctified, as it were,
by his own single minded devotion to and faith in a
holy cause ; and it is that which you see in his face,
as though written in letters of light, and which car-
ries on your thoughts from him as the man to him as
the type and representative of his cause. One could

explains that devotion to the
death, and, what is more
the prudent world at large considers an impossi-
bility, for his sake ; it makes that feeling appear
to you the simplest and most natural thing in the
world. His wonderful simplicity and forgetful-
ness of self win the loVe of all; it is not the grand
iron-willed hero who determines of his own strength
to carry his undertaking through. I do not won-
der at the conviction which prevails of his having
been raised up by Providence ; he seems to feel that
this is the work given him to do, and that he could
not leave it undone, but that it is no more credit to
him than it is to a joiner to make a stool, whose
mission it is to make stools. It is a face in which
the whole character is written—simple, grand, and
loving. It was about 1 o'clock when we were called
into the office, which has a balcony overlooking
the Largo del Castello, as it was rumoured that he
was coming from the Castellamare-road on the left.
Then, again, it was said that he would take up by
another street into Toledo. Oscar went .out to as-
certain, when in a moment there came round the
corner into the Largo a red shirt on a horse, and
then three abreast, and then a carriage with seve-
ral red shirts, a shouting multitude, and many car-
riages following, which had gone to meet him ; but
he had not more than a dozen of his own people
with him. his army is still three days off, dead
beat with the forced marches under the fierce sun.
He coolly drove along under the guns of the for-
tress, still manned by the Royal troops. Even with
opera-glasses we could not have seen well, as he
passed along the other side of the great Largo ; so,
as we heard he would come back by Toledo to live
in Palazzo Angri, the gentlemen guided us through
the crowd (I know not how) up Santa Brigade,
across Toledo, to the house of a friend, where we
came out on a large balcony. I wish I could paint
the scene for you in something better than words.
The crowd was dense, always steaming up and down
at a quick pace, and two lines of carriages in per-
petual movement, in each of which were crowded
from 16 to 23 gentlemen standing up, shouting
and waving flags. Every balcony of the tall
Palazzos had a flag and a merry party of lookers-
on. The shouting of the multitudes undulated like
waves of the sea. The cries were mostly ' Virg
Garibaldi l and ' L'ltalia Una .1' I did not hear
' Victor Emmanuel' much, but some men wore
scarfs with his name. Then came diversions from
time to time, at which the roaring became perfectly
deafening. Now and then a lanky, lithe young
lad, with sunny hair and rosy brown face, contrast-
ing with the pallid olive of the townspeople, would
come skipping along in the red shirt, waving a
flag, and his face working in the wildest excite-
ment or happy glee and innocent triumph, not
knowing how enough to laugh and to congratu-
late, caught, and bugged, and embraced by enthu-
siastic groups; sometimes a great, stalwart, sober,
bronzed, middle-aged man, giving quiet, gentle
answers to the crowds swarming to kiss his hands,
and with a look as if he were used to graver work
than shouting and cheering ; then one or two
gaunt, lank, haggard, bleached creatures, with
ropy, rusty, long, shaggy hair down their backs,
just as you suppose wretches let out from years of
imprisonment, gesticulating and looking frantic
with joy. If they did represent prisoners, it is
rather theatrical of them to keep their hair in such
a mess all this time since they were let out. What
was perfectly genuine was the beaming joy with
which some clean young priests appealed
hpfaerceees toas
ourtheimo ne
balconies for sympathy. It is difficult to describe
the excitement. After about an hour came up the
red shirt on a carriage horse, with its blinkers on ,
to give warning that Garibaldi was coming, and
then the cheering rose loader and louder as the
carriage came slowly along, and there he was with-
out a bit of State—three red shirts with their backs
to the carriage, himself and another man in the seat
of honour, and three more in a stuck-up rumble
behind—such fine old heads, with Whitened beards,
and all with their red shirts covered with purple
stains, like English bunting coats which have been

one good to find there is such faith on the earth—
to see a man who does not delay beginning a good

drive into this great capital without a blow being

looked, like a dear old weather-beaten angel. It
was very amusing to see the contrast between his
followers and some Neapolitan Garibaldians, whose
whole political energies had been spent in getting

would lend their support, should it ever be wanted,
to preserve the residence of the Holy Father against
any attack or menace; for the Government of the
King will always know how to conciliate the great
interests of Italy with the respect due to the
august chief of religion, to whom the country is
sincerely attached.
"In acting thus it has the conviction of not
hurting the feelings of enlightened Catholics who
do not confound the temporal power with which the
Court of Rome has been invested during a period
•f its history with the spiritual power which is the
eternal and immoveable basis of his religious autho-
rity.

NEW ORLEANS, Friday, Aug. 31.—The schooner
I. A. Taylor has sailed for Ruatan, with 50
ruen
for Gen. Walker. The brig Creole, from Ruatan
on the 17th inst., brings Honduras advices to the
15th. Walker was fortifying Truxillo, It was
reported that Guardiola would attack the town on
the night of the 15th inst. This had greatly alarmed
the inhabitants, who were leaving in great numbers f
for Ruatan.

From Am and Nav Gazette.
With re(
ferenceOato they animadversions )of some of
our contemporaries upon the conduct of Col. Gold
in the affair with the New Zealand rebels, we may
mention that that officer returns to England upon
his promotion by seniority to the rank of Major-
General, which took place in June last. It is al-
ready known that Major-General Pratt had pro-
ceeded from Melbourne to take the command, which
he had a right to do, New Zealand being included
'en the Australian military command. In taking this
step, Major-General Pratt only anticipated the
wishes of the Home Government, from whom in-
structions had been sent out some time since that
he should repair to the disturbed colony. We may
add, that a regiment (the 2d Battalion of the 14th)
sailed last week to augment the force in New Zea-
land.
Whenever a military disaster, great or small,
happens to our army, there is good reason for be-
lieving that the commander was incompetent, or
the arrangements made by him were deficient. No
one ever can for a moment question the gallantry
of the men—even the disgraced officers dare not
openly impute want of courage to their soldiers.
In this unfortunate affair in New Zealand it would
seem as if Colonel Gold, who was near the scene of
action then going hard against our soldiers, did not
hasten up to their relief with the proportionably
considerable force under his command. It is inti-
mated that there was a river between him
and Major Nelson's party, and if it was not forda-
ble, or could not be turned, there is an end of the
question. Let us suspend our decision on that point.
On another part of our intelligence there is, how-
ever, no need to speak hesitatingly.
The Grenadier Company of her Majesty's 40th
Regiment, if accounts be true, seems to have
been annihilated; for, if thirty-three men of it
fell in the engagement, very few can have sur-
vived. The disaster would have been impossible
if the whole force had been kept together, and
advanced with its guns instead of being split up
into three small parties, so separated that one
appears to have been of little use to the other.
Armed with fowling-pieces and tomahawks, the
natives not only repulsed the charge with the
bayonet, made by one party of infantry under the
fire of the artillery, but attacked the guns, and
killed some of the artillerymen. Now, it is rather
ridiculous to insinuate that the troops were beaten
because they were disciplined. It might as well
be argued that they should have been armed with
hatchets and fowling-pieces instead of rifle and bayo-
net. As far as we can make it out, the natives
managed to outwit us. It is very likely iisat our
men advanced confidently to the stockade, thinking
the enemy were cowed by the artillery fire, and
that they found themselves suddenly confronted
with a much larger force of the New Zealanders,
who started up out of their trenches, and attacked
them vigorously. We may well suppose the fight
was stoutly maintained by our men, but we are
struck with the disparity of losses among the
sailors, who numbered 60, and who had 10 casual-
ties, and that in the two companies of the 40th,
which lost 26 killed and wounded. One officer was
unfortunately killed in the retreat, which was neces-
sarily precipitate. The largest estimate of the
number of natives is 1,000, and it is something as-
tonishing and mortifying to learn that 347 British
soldiers and sailors, led by experienced officers and
supported by the fire of grape and shot, and shell
from regular artillery, were obliged to retreat before
three times their number of men armed with toma-
hawks and fowling-pieces, and to leave their dead
and wounded in the hands of men whose imme-
diate ancestors were barbarous savages.

" But our hopes go still further. We have the
'confidence that the spectacle of the unanimity of
the patriotic sentiments which now burst forth
throughout the whole of Italy will remind the
Sovereign Pontiff that he was some years ago the
sublime inspirer of this great national movement.
The Yea which counsellors, animated by mundane
interests, had placed over his eyes, will fall, and
then, recognizing that the regeneration of Italy is a
decree of Providence, he will rebecome the Father of
the Italians, as he has never ceased to be the august
and venerable Father of all the Faithful.
" Turin, Sept. 12,"

Advices from Honduras state that Walker had
raised the old Federal Central Amel4pin fig, and
contemplated the regeneration and union of all five
of the states, viz. :—Honduras, Guatemala, Nicara-
gua, Salvador, and Costa Rica.

THE GREAT _EASTERN.

-PRANCE AND SARDINIA.

MILFORD HAVEN, SEPT. 13.
The Great Eastern is the centre of attraction in
South Wales, and the thousands who daily crowd.
to Milford Haven to see her return evidently de-
lighted with their trip. The number of visitors
increases daily, as excursion trains are running at
ls. more than the usual single fares from the chief
stations along the South Wales Railway, beginning
at Gloucester, and every available vehicle is em-
ployed in the transit of sight-seers from places ad
present unprovided with railway accommodation.
The average has been nearly 2,000 persons per day,
and it is expected that when she is on the gridiron,
and after the harvest is secured, the numbers will
greatly increase.
The charge for carrying visitors from the railway
terminus at Nayland (about three-quarters of a mile)
to the ship, including admission, is 2s. per head,
and of this 3d. per head is allowed as boat hire;
but as this leaves ls. 9d. for each, and as the daily
expenses of the ship are very trifling, the share-
holders may congratulate themselves that she is
earning something toward a dividend. Evidently
she will remain an object of curiosity wherever she
may be, and her exhibition mad,- be relied upon as a
source of revenue.
It is expected that the tide of Friday, 14th, or
Saturday, 15th, will give sufficient water to place
her on the gridiron; when there, 200 men will be
employed to scrape and clean her bottom

about 19 feet only. For five or six days there will
be from 21 to 3 hours each tide when her bottom
will be dry, and after a proper cleansing she will
be coated with M'lnnes's copper paint. The com-
position is very good, but has been found to be in-
ferior to Peacock and Buchan's, as appears by cer-
tificates from the Peninsular and Oriental and
Royal Mail Steam Companies ; it is also more
costly. It appears to be a preparation in which
copper is mixed. Of course this must oxidise the
iron to some extent, and it is to be regretted that
the directors have not determined to adopt the
known best thing for this important pur-
pose. Peacock and Buchan's composition is 'a
preparation of oxide of zinc, which metal does
not oxidise iron, and is equally efficacious in pre-
venting the adhesion of weeds and barnacles. No
doubt Dr. Callager's patent is better still, as it is
a stronger preparation of the same metal, but it has
not been certified like Peacock and Buchan's, and the
patentee has not urged its adoption under an im-
pression that as he, as a shareholder, has at times
opposed the directors, his composition has no chance
of being adopted. If reasonable expedition is used,
favoured by a hot sun, the composition will be ap-
plied and the vessel ready for floating again by
Tuesday ; sho may then proceed to coal up and re-
ceive cargo for her departure to New York on the
17th proximo.
The South Wales Railway Company, in return
for the advantages it is receiving by the conveyance
of visitors, has provided the gridiron free of cost,
and undertaken to supply coals free on board at
12s. Gd. per ton. The operation of coaling will
occupy some time, 500 tons a day being the extent
to which they can be shipped at present. The
eight steam cranes contracted to be supplied by Mr.
Russell are sadly wanted.
The opportunity afforded while on the gridiron
will be embraced to introduce a new bush to the
aftermost bearing of the main screw shaft. The
flat floor peculiar :to the Great Eastern, and other
vessels constructed on Mr. Russelrs now approved
and all but perfect lines, will enable the Great Ship
to sit perfectly upright and secure, either upon the
gridiron or the beach beneath it, but will afford
little opportunity for the application of the protec-
tive coating underneath. Experience, however,
proves that adhesions are rarely found on this part
of a ship, but are most abundant midway between
the keel and the water line.
The directors should strain every nerve to get
her away again on the 17th of October, because if
she goes at or near that date she will obtain a very
large number of passengers for New York, and a
large cargo of breadstuffs, 8.7 c., home ; in fact, one
merchant in London has applied to have 10,000
barrels of flour brought back by her, and others
would gladly secure a similar advantage. The
breadstuffs ordered in anticipation of a short har-
vest here must bo paid for, and therefore the
sooner they arrive here for re-sale the better. It
is a great pity that none of the directors are in
business, as they would then understand these
matters, and act accordingly. There are many
thousands of Americans in Eriglatui and on the
continent who will return to ale States about the
middle of October.

GENERAL WALKER'S EXPEDITION,
AND TILE CAPTURE OF TRUXILIO.

:_From the New Orleans Picayune, August 25.)
The schooner Dewdrop, Captain Terry, arrived
at this port this morning, from Ruatan Island the
16th inst. Among the passengers is a gentleman
who left Truxillo on the 12th. From him we have
full particulars of the capture of that city, and a
full narrative of the events up to the latest dates.
Walker made his appearance before the town of
Truxillo on the 6th of August, at about 3 or 4
O'clock in the morning. His whole force numbered
110 men, all counted. They approached the town
in two separate parties. The first was landed some
three miles below the city, on the beach, and pro-
ceeded towards the town by land. The sceond was
debarked in small boats, and proceeded pari passu
along the shore. They were all well armed with
Minie muskets, had 20 rounds of cartridge apiece,
and were well supplied with everything else
necessary.
Our informant, who is personally acquainted
with nearly all of them, says they were a fine look-
ing set of men, and showed a confident bearing as
they marched up towards the town.
The news of the landing was conveyed to the
town and fort by a Carib. The fort was garri-
soned by 75 to 100 soldiers, sustained by about 300
putriotes (citizens), who were, of course, immedi-
ately called to arms to dispute the entrance of the
Americans. There were mounted two 24-pounders,
and some eighteen smaller pieces—the first two
brass, of old Spanish manufacture. As the party
advanced pan/ passu, along the beach, and in boats
near the shore, the two larger guns were opened
upon them. When within half a mile of the fort,
the land party also fell into au ambuscade of the
patrietes, and were fired upon from the " bush,"
which was gallantly and promptly returned l the
Americans in a manner that would have done credit
to an old guard. They were soon scattered, and
completely routed. The Americans then continued
their advance in full defiance of the fort, and the
order was charge the rampart, which was done in
handsome style, and the occupants driven in every
direction before them. The firing at this time was
sharp, and to give a true description of it, says our
informant, would require a person more familiar
with the mode of warfare of these people, and one
who had not quite so many musket balls f 0 du'lge
as himself.nw,ireu

of
p
only four woundel. Their loss, as near as can be
ascertained, is twelve killed and as many more
wounded.
The people of the town seem to have great confi-
dence in General Walker. Many of the stores are
open and doing business as usual; others have left,
taking their goods with them—not, as they allege,
on account of their fear of Walker, but of an attack
on the town by some band of plunderers and robbers
from the interior, who will make this a pretence for
plundering and sacking the town.
The forts at Truxillo are said to be large, com-
modious, and well built, in the best style of
Spanish-American fortifications, and, defended
faithfully by what means Walker has at pre-
sent at command, cannot be taken by any force
that can be brought against him. Besides, the
existing Government of Guardiola is unpopular,
while his rival, Cabanas, whose cause Walker has
espoused, is everywhere a favourite with the people.
At last accounts Cabanas was on the Pacific side
of the State of Honduras, where he was said to be
everywhere favourably received by the people. He
is a native of the country, and believed to be of
pure Castilian blood.

The que.*;olis of passage-money, freight, manage-
inc., r, and the fitness of Milford Haven as the port
of arrival, I propose to discuss in a future letter, I
have endeavoured to ascertain why she called at
Halifax on her return from New York, but can only
learn that there is no reason assigned for her doing
so ; the only effect was to lengthen the voyage and
render a comparison of her speed with that of other
steamers difficult. Nor can I learn why she brought
home no cargo. Passengers, it seems, were not com-
ing at that time. It appears that all the fashion-
ables were absent from New York, and consequently
did not visit her, and the best authority I could
find gave his opinion that at least 200,000 persons
will yet visit her in New York alone, and that a
month should be devoted to the purpose of gratify-
ing their wishes. The people at Portland, State of
Maine, expected her to call there for a time, to be
exhibited ; they have spent 1.!2;;,000 on a new docktir
to accommodate her, and therefore, as it is certain
she would pay, it is unaccountable why
shee r did
not go there, instead of to Halifax. The visit
of the
c
Prince of Wales to Canada caused a large
ing of Canadians, who would gladly haveg:ather-
seen
the great ship, but they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. nnet-
ment. All the crew and officers, except about
persons, were paid off on arrival; this is sound eco-
nomy—and Mr. Bold,
the
the superintendent purser,
&c., and one or two sailors alone remain of
civil department. Much credit is due to the direc-
tors and Captain
Hall for
t.l their courage in econo-
mising so far. They might
t Set go a little further,
and consolidating one or two
and save a large sum
prominent offices.
It is believed that the Channel fleet is under sail-
ing orders for Cadiz.
The new steamer Shelbourne is hourly expected
to arrive at New Milford, to take up her place on
the new line to Cork. It may be remembered that,
this is one of the various lines conceived and ini-
tiated by Mr. LeYer, M.p.,
communication with the Irish for expediting steam
ports, and the pro-
ject promises, since that gentleman's withdrawal,
to be ably carried out under the management of
Mr. O'Beirne, who is about
to proceed in the Shel-
bourne to Cork to make more specific arrange-
ments. The Talbot, which has already commenced
running, and the Shelbourne are sister ships, built
by Messrs. Henderson, at Renfrew, on the Clyde,
and are beautiful specimens of naval architecture, of
about 500 tons, 250-horse power, and capable of
accommodating 150 first class and 250 second class
passengers. The speed hitherto attained by the
Talbot has been 18 and 181 miles per hour, and as
this rate will bring the south of Ireland within 19
hours of London, to be still further reduced to 17
hours when the South Wales Railway Company
accelerates the transit between New Milford and
Gloucester, this route to Ireland bids fair to obtain
a large amount of public support, increase the divi-
dends of the Great Western and South Wales Rail-
ways, and add commercial importance to the rising
Dort of New Milford. A third fine vessel, the
Cumberland, is now receiving new boilers, and will
be added, so as to allow of a nightly service both
ways.
The accommodation at the South Wales Trog-c2 at
the terminus here, although En.icea, is excellent
and reasonablo, ana reflects credit on its manager,
and the directors of the line, who p.m its proprietorm, j

Guardiola is either a half-breed or full-blooded
Indian. He has the reputation of being very igno-
rant and brutal, and to have obtained his present
domination over the country through fear alone.
As said before, Walker and Cabanas, as the leaders
of the liberal party, perfectly understand and sym-
pathise with each other. It is supposed that the
plan of operations is this—As soon as he shall have
assumed his position at Truxillo, Walker, leaving
a garrison for the fort, will set out with such forces
a s he may have raised for the interior. Cabanas,
in the meantime, will march this way to meet him,
with such forces as he may command. It is believed
that the place of meeting will be Comayagua, when
a general government will be established, repre-
senting both the Spanish American and Central
American forces,
Guardiola, it is believed, will be able to make but
a feeble resistance to the combined forces of the
two generals. He has, however, asked the assist-
ance of the reactionary party of Guatemala and
other states of Central America, and it remains to
be seen to what extent and efficiency
this assist-
