ever," writes a_correspondent of the Levant Herald,'
of the sth inst., " his Majesty [the SULTAN] of
course accepted the Ambassador's explanation, and
we have reason to believe has since expressed to his
Excellency, through HAM BEY and his Highness .
AALI PACIIA, his regret that he should have been
even momentarily misled into a conception of the
fact." Certainly a cool way enough of tendering
verbal compensation for an outrage of the grossest
kind imaginable wantonly offered to Sir HENRY
BULWER in his public and private capacity—viz.,
as a high-minded English gentleman and as one of
her Britannic MAJESTY'S Ambassadors.

" Regret" is expressed for the " misconception."
But what was that misconception ? Either it
meant nothing, or it meant distinctly this—that the
British Ambassador was making advances to the.
SULTANS brother, his Highness AZT% EFFENDI,
with a view to conspire the death by violence of
the reigning SULTAN, or the advancement of the
said Aziz EFFENDI to the vacant couch of the
Divan. Either it meant this, or something exceed-
ingly like this, or it meant nothing. Unless that
was the construction put upon the incident of his
Excellency's chance visit to the steam-yacht of
Aziz EFFENDI, what possible importance could
attach to an occurrence so utterly insignificant ?
Nay, unless that, and nothing less than that, was
the presumed bearing of the incident, why these
proffered " regrets" of the SULTAN, through HAM
BEY and AALI PACHA—regrets that his Majesty
should have been even momentarily misled into a
misconception ? A nice misconception truly ! It
is first of all taken for granted a man hitherto
known only as a friend is capab:e of conspiring at
assassination, and then—upon the monstrocity of
this supposition be proved to actual demonstration
—quietly proffering a word of " regret" that suf-
ficient discernment had not been shown in the dis-
crimination of character. Such, moreover, is the
return made to England through the sacred charac-
ter of her ambassador for all the blood, the gold, the
lives squandered magnanimously by her upon the
shores of the Euxine, only six short years ago, in
vindication of the integrity, in maintenance of the
independence in defence of the capital of the SUL-
TAN'S Sovereignty. It is a fitting sequel to the
well remembered mission of MENSCHIKOFF to Con-
stantinople. Transpiring as it does upon the very
morrow of the Syrian massacres, it illustrates
anew, in a very vivid and timely manner, the now
incontestable truth that Turkey survives only as
a most flagrant and glaring anomaly in Christen-
dom.

Although the subway under the new approach
to Covent-garden cannot of course be followed out
as the rule to be adopted henceforth throughout
the whole of subterranean London, we do earnestly
hope that it may be copied as closely as possible as
the Rule or System upon every reasonable opportu-
nity. We would insist upon its being adopted syste-
matically as a plan to be in this manner assiduously
developed and multiplied, because (seriously and
advisedly we say it) we deem any such extension
of a network of subways under the metropolis in
the first place certain to prove eminently practi-
cable, and in the second place no less certain to
prove pre-eminently convenient. To appreciate
this fully upon the instant it is only necessary to
bear in mind what it is that is actually being
accomplished in this way in connection with new
Covent-garden approach—to remember that there,
under that new thoroughfare, the contractors are
about to construct an arched subway twelve feet
wide and seven feet six inches in height--having
to the right and to the left arched side passages
for the conveyance of house service pipes, as well as
a due amount of cellarage upon either side of the

thoroughfare. Conveyed along the principal or
central channel of this ample arched-subway, will be
trailed the gas main, the water main, the hermeti-
cally sealed pipe or conduit for the conveyance of the
sewage, and side by side with these the magic coil
of the electric telegraph conductors. Supposing
every thoroughfare in London to be provided with a
similar subway to the one now in course of con-
struction beneath the level of the new Covent-
Garden approach, there would be an end for ever
to the expense and inconvenience, the toil and the
interruption to traffic now periodically attendant
upon the breaking up of our roads and pavements,
as is our one clumsy, and costly, and laborious, and
intolerably vexatious method of repairing maids,
pipes, sewers, and other subterranean channels for
the drainage, lighting, or irrigation of London and
Westminster. At any rate, towards the realisation
of most of those advantages, an admirable oppor-
tunity is now being opened up for us, in connec-
tion, that is to say, with the delay of the low level
sewers in the new main drainage scheme, until
such time as those low level sewers can be con-
structed simultaneously with the double line of our
Thames embankments.

THE RUMOURD ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE
EMPEROR OF THE FRENCU.—A private telegram from
Paris yesterday says certain foreign journals have an
nounced that, at Toulon, a criminal attempt has been made
upon the life of the Emperor of the French. Tho state-
ment is entirely destitute of foundation.
PROGRESS OF THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY
WORKS.—The work of tunnelling the New-road at King's-
cross is progressing rapidly, notwithstanding the impedi-
ments arising from the intersection of sewers, gas, and
water pipes, and the stiff character of the clay to ba exca-
vated. It is, however, at Battle-bridge that the progress
of the works is at present most perceptible. The entire
wedge of buildings lying between Gray's Inn-road, Battle-
bridge, and Bagnigge-wells-road has been removed, and the
ground on which it stood is being cleared for the erection of
a station and the construction of the line of railway, which
will at that point enter the valley of the Fleet, along which
it will run to • its terminus in Farringdon- street. In the
tunnel itself a very large portion of the brickwork and other
masonry is complete, and the public may soon begin to look
forward to the opening of the route from Paddington totho
city.

Police-
court, Mr. Perkins, beerhouse keeper, York-street, Cheet-
ham, was summoned for illegal trading. Mr. Austin, the
assistant town-clerk, said he appeared in suppoit of the in-
formation at the request of the police. The defendant was a
beerhouse keeper, and the information was for keeping his
house open after eleven o'clock at night. Evidence would
be adduced in proof of the charge, but notice had been
given to the police that the defendant would rely upon a
now legal ground of defence, arising out of the Refresh-
ment and Wine Licences Act. The defendant had a wine
licence, and he seemed to think he had a right to keep open
his house at all hours ; but, by a reference to the 6th sec •
tion of the act, it would be seen that beerhouses were really
altogether excluded from its operations. " All houses,
rooms, shops, &c., kept open for public refreshment, resort,
and entertainment, at any time between the hours of nine
o'clock at night and live o'clock on the following morning,
not being licensed for the sale of beer, cider, wine, or spirits
respectively, shall be deemed refreshment houses within
this act," &c.—A. police-constable was called, who stated
that about midnight, on the 12th inst., he was in the defen-
dant's house, where a number of men were smoking, and
drinking coffee and ginger beer. Some empty glasses were
on the table, but he saw no beer served.—Mr. R. Cobbett,
who appeared for the defendant, submitted that there was
no case. It had lately been decided at the Court of Queen's
Bench that it was necessary, in all such cases, not only to
prove that the house was open, but that it was open for the
sale of beer. In the present instance the officer, when called
to prove the offence, proved that no beer had been sold.—
The magistrates dismimed the curie 011 the grMtd of ill-
nificient evidence.

energetic terms.
The above conditions are specified by Garibaldi
as the sine qua non of a good understanding be-
tween him and Piedmont. The King immediately
despatched a brief reply, but the contents of the

JESI, SEPT. 18

General Lamoriciere, with 11,000 men, attacked
to-day the position lttely taken by General Cial-
dini, near Castelfiardo. The fight, which was short
but desperate, gives the following results :—The
junction of General Lamoriciere's corps with the
remainder of his troops at Ancona is prevented;
600 prisoners have been made; six pieces of artil-
lery and a flag were taken. The enemy's wounded,
among whom is General Pimodan, fell into the
hands of General Cialdini. The losses of the
enemy are considerable. A column of 4,000 men,
who made a sortie from Ancona, and took part
in the fight, was compelled to retire. It is being

FRANCE AND ITALY.

The Constitutionnel publishes the following ar-

tide :
" The Independence Beige repeats a singular re-
port which it is evident an attempt is made to cir-
culate.
" That journal declares that the Island of Sardinia
and of Elba, cas echeant, will indemnify France
for the new increase with Piedmont would receive
by the annexation of Naples and of Sicily.
"To these persisting assertions we must again
give a new and categorical denial.
" And, first of all, the annexation of Naples and
of Sicily is not an accomplished fact. Were that
annexation completed to-day the Imperial Govern-
ment would not recognize it.

Justice would bid a truce to all these pro-
jects of aggrandisement which are so wroely at-
tributed to us.
" Once more, France neither desires nor asks
anything. She does not aspite to make conquests,
but to pacify."

SARDINIA AND G ARIBALDI.
A letter from Turin, Led 17th inst., says :
"As I announced, the official Gazette of this
evening publishes the Royal decree convoking
Parliament for the 2d. October. _

" The session will be a very short one. It is even
probable that it will not exceed ten days. The
policy of the Government, as it is actually repre-
sented by the Cavour Ministry, will be submitt(d
the to Chambers in juxtaposition to the policy of

-Garibaldi and his partisans, and the representa-
tives of the nation will be called upon to make a
choice between the two. -

Should an imposing majority declare itself in
faimur of the policy of the present Cabinet, Count
Cavaur will naturally remain at the head of affairs,
and I believe I am well informed when I say that
the intention of the Count is to act with unflinch-
ing every in the accomplishment of the new duties
which a vote of confidence of the Parliament will
entail upon him.

" I case a doubtful or hesitating majority should
support Count Cavour's policy, he will immedately
resign his office toM. Ratazzi, who, perhaps, might
obtain some concessions from Garibaldi, which,
under all circumstances, are quite indispensable to
prevent the Italian movement entering a fatal path.
"At the present moment not the slightest
concession can be expected from Garibaldii M.
Depretis has completely failed in his mission. He
has been to Naples, namely, to induce Garibaldi to
annex Sicily at once to Sardinia. The Dictator will
not hear of annexation until the day when what he
calls his programme shall have been carried out,
which is nothing else than the promise to make
Rome the capital of the Italian empire, and to con-
quer Venice.
" Should he even consent to make some modifica-
tions in his plans, it would never be—it is Garibaldi
himself who has just written it to the King in a
letter brought to his Majesty by one of the Gene.

ral's aides-de-camp—except on the condition that
MM. Cavour and Farini should leave the Ministry.
" This is the actual state of affairs. Form your
own judgment as to how replete it is with danger.
Another letter, also dated the 17th inst., says :
" Garibaldi continues to organise his Govern-
ment in the sense of his own policy. I have
already alluded to MM. Pallavicini, Trivulzio, and
Bertani. M. Cattaneo decidedly goes to Naples as
Secretary-General of the Dictatorship. His accept-
ance is the more remarkable as he declined sitting
in thee Parliament of which he is a member, so as
not to take the oath to the King. M. Cattaneo is
the advocate of a federal republic. It is curious
enough to see him called for by the party which
was the first to hoist absolute unity as its motto.
" The claims of M. Cattaneo to Garibaldi's favour
are a violent pamphlet against the cession of Nice,
and a pronounced antipathy against Count Cavour.
" It is reported that the Annexationist Ministers
of Naples will resign. M. Scialoja, and even M.
Liborio Romano, are mentioned as likely to do so.
It is curious that the principal members of the
Government of Naples are Lombards. Lombardy
is the province which has provided the greatest
number of volunteers to Garibaldi; It is there that
the element most hostile to Count Cavour is
strongest.
"Now that the kingdom of Naples has been con-
quered from Francis IL, it will be necessary to
conquer it again from Garibaldi; but I fancy the
political skill of Count Cavour will arrange every-

thing.
"The Dictator still asks for more volunteers,
which proves his firm intention of continuing the
war. His agents are not stopped, but difficulties
are thrown in their way."

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

The Emperor and Empress arrived at Algiers on
the 17th, at half-pasteightin the morning, although
their passage was retarded by heavy weather. The
Minister of Algeria and General de Martimprey,
Commander-in-Chief of the land and naval forces of
the colony, went on board the Aigle to take the
orders of the Emperor, and at nine o'clock their
Majesties landed under a salute from the forts and
vessels of war in the roadstead, and proceeded to
the Cathedral, passing as they went several
squadrons of Spahis as well as all the Aghas and
Caids at the head of their Goums. At noon the
Bey of Tunis, who came to congratulate the Em-
peror on his arrival, entered the roadstead on board
the Foudre steam frigate, and on landing was re-
ceived with all the honours due to his rank. His
Highness soon after had an interview of the Em-
peror and Empress: One of the brothers of the
Emperor of Morocco was expected during the day.
