TEE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

The inspection of the rifle corps of Ramsgate
took place on Friday last. The corps arrived on.
the ground soon after 2 p.m., under the command
of Capt. Young, with whom were Lieut. Burgess
and Ensign Daniel. Various ma ceuvres were gone
through, which would have done credit to any com-
pany of the line. The light infantry drill and the
skirmishing attracted much attention, and elicited
the warmest praises from the bystanders and volun-
teers from other parts of the country. At the con-
clusion the inspecting officer, Colonel Luard, ex-
pressed his high satisfaction at the appearance
and discipline of the corps, which reflected great
credit on the captain and drill sergeant, adding
that it would be his duty to report most favourably
of the corps to the authorities at the War-office. -
The ground was kept by the Ramsgate Volunteer
Artillery., to whom Lieut. Burgess proposed a vote
of thanks, which was unanimously accorded.
A return shooting match took place between the
Workington (7th Cumberland) Rifle Volunteers and
the Skiddaw Greys (3d Cumberland) on Friday last
at Workington, ending in a victory for the Skid-
daw Greys, who, in the first match in the beginning
of the present month, were beaten by two points
by the Workington. In the evening a silver bugle,
subscribed by the ladies of Workington, was pre-
sented to the 7th Cumberland, who now muster
about 70 strong, in the new market-hall. The
ceremony of presentation was performed by Mrs.
Henry Curwen, wife of the rector, who made a short
and appropriate address to the Volunteers, expres-
sive of the confidence and regard of the ladies and
their warm approval of the Volunteer movement.
Capt. Lamport, in receiving the bugle, expressed
his satisfaction that the formation of the corps,
whose motto was ". Pro aria et focis," had the ap-
proval and sympathy of the ladies. A ball after-
wards took place.
On Friday last the 21st Company Staffordshire
Volunteers (Rugeley Rangers), with their band,
marched from the depot to Hawkesyard-park,
the seat of their gallant captain, Mr. J. Spode,
for the purpose of being inspected by Lieutenant-
Colonel Newdigate. The Colonel arrived on the
ground about half-past 5 o'clock, when the com-
pany saluted, marched past in quick time, went
through the manual exercises, and several company
and light infantry movements, after which the
Colonel, addressing them, said he was very proud
to be connected with such a company ; that it was
as good, if not the best he had inspected ; he could
see by the colour of the belts that the men had fre-
quently attended drill. It was his duty to ti:ld
fault, and he had been on the look out during the
inspection, but could not pick a hole in their coats.
After the inspection the corps partook of an excel-
.ent supper, provided for them by the captain, in
the hall, which was tastefully decorated with green-
house plants, evergreen devices, mottoes, &c.
The members of the 11th Lancashire Regiment
of Rifle Volunteers, under the command of .Major
Pedder, marched on Saturday afternoon from their
depot to the grounds of Mr. John Cooper, " The
Oaks," Penwortharn, to receive a silver bugle sub-
sciibed for by the ladies of Preston. On arriving
at their destination they were received by Mr. and
Mrs. Cooper and a large gathering of the leading
gentry of Preston and neighbourhood. The corps
having gone through a number of evolutions very
steadily, the presentation was made by Mrs.
Cooper, who, in handing the bugle to Majer Ped-
der, said,—" Major Pedder, officers, non-commis-
sioned officers, and men of the 11th Lancashire
Rifle Volunteers,—The ladies of Preston have in-
vited me to present you with this silver bugle.
Myself a soldier's daughter, I assure you I feel
a peculiar pleasure in conveying to you on their
behalf our warmest appreciation of your zealf

Major Pedder, on behalf

happiness and success." The gallant mayor then
handed the bugle to the
bugler of the Regiment,
who sounded the " assembly" amid the cheers of
the Corps and of the spectators. Major Pedder
having acknowledged the present in suitable terms,
the Volunteer force retired from the ground, headed
by the bands, and proceeded to the rear of the hall,
where all were plentifully regaled with excellent
meat pies and good old English ale.

Saturday, when it appeared in evidence that the deceased
had been an inmate of the prison upwards of four years, at
the suit of Mr. William Francis Low, solicitor, of Wimpole -

health for some time, and on Wednesday was taken to the
infirmary. Every attention was paid to him, and he died

hoping that " the POPE may resist the counsels
which are given him through hatred of France."
At the same time the semi-official journal tells his
Holiness that it is " unreasonable to ask that
France should declare war against Sardinia, and
that she will not extend her intervention beyond
Rome." The reason assigned is, that she would not
only make herself odious to Italy but suspected to 1
Europe. She certainly does not need to increase 1
the suspicion already felt. No doubt, POPE,
cardinals, and the EMPEROR who protects
but the
them, are all perplexed enough,
Constztutionnel also tells us that a " very
near future" will apprise us whether the infiu-
ences at work to induce the POPE to leave
Rome will succeed or not. One reason weighs with
them all most strongly, we fear, to keep where they
are—that by so doing they puzzle equally their
avowed adversaries and their professed friends.
If they can do themselves no good in Rome, they
can give a great deal of annoyance and trouble to
others, and that must be a sweet revenge.
But when we get to Naples, if certain rumours
are to be trusted, things go far from smoothly.
There is said to be disunion in the camp. MAZZINI
is there. GARIBALDI is supposed to be too much
under the great Republican's influence; and it is
presumed that that influence is all exerted in favour
of Republicanism, and in a manner hostile to Con-
stitutional Monarchy. True, broad facts are against
it. The Sardinian soldiers are invited to occupy
the forts, the Neapolitan fleet is handed over to the
Sardinian Admiral, all decrees and proclamations
run in the name of VICTOR EMMANUEL, and the
General has done nothing whatever to compromise
his loyalty, unless soliciting the dismission of
CAVOUR and FARINI in rather strong language can
be so considered. GARIBALDI does, indeed, refuse
to modify his programme to CATOUR'S public
policy; he rejects in rather rude language the man
who parted with Italian territory; but well-informed
persons on the spot more than doubt the reality of
the professed antagonism. GARIBALDI went to Sicily
in opposition to the commands of the Sardinian
Government. He also refused to listen to the
official Royal advice when meditating his attack
on Naples, yet no one now doubts that Count
CAVOUR and GARIBALDI then quite understood
each other. It was a part of CATOUR'S policy to
have an unmanageable warrior doing his work, and
a part of GARIBALDI'S that he should take the entire
responsibility on himself, and have a protesting
Court, to make the work more completely his own.
There may be a quarrel, a bitter one, for aught we
know ; but we also know that an apparent quarrel
may be very convenient just now to France, to
Sardinia, and to GARIBALDI himself. France does
not wish to have too much public cause of disagree-
ment with the KING and his Government. Neither
does Sardinia want that she should, for things are
awkward enough at the best—with a mercenary
French General defeated, and a commissioned
French General in charge of the city which Sar-
dinia needs for an Italian capital, and which GARI-
BALDI says shall soon be one.
The worst which GARIBALDI has done, it would
seem, is to place some republicans in official posi-
tions, and to issue some proclamations very out-
spoken in regard to Rome and Venetia. The truth
is the Dictator must have no little trouble in con-
structing his Ministry so as to satisfy all who think
their principles ought to prevail. To us he seems
to have avoided extremes, and to have either em-
ployed moderate men, or combined men of
different opinions. As to his proclama-
tions, we lay little stress on them. He has
not yet attempted to do anything before the
event proved that he knew his time, and we
believe it will be so to the end. He believes in
the policy of a soul-stirring programme. It is
not his business to write Queen's speeches which
tell nothing, but to stir hearts. He really desires
and means what he says; but if his past manage-
ment of this campaign for Italian freedom and
unity may guide our hopes of him for the future,
we may safely rely on him to do the right thing
at the right time.

THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 25, 1860.

Military prospects are still better, or clearer at
least, in Italy than politics. We imagine we can
see pretty plainly what GARIBALDI is doing and

aiming at with his soldiers. What his relations
are with his Sovereign and Count CAVOUR is not
BO easy to make out. Public acts contradict each
other, and intelligent correspondents from Italy

itself differ from each other entirely.
GARIBALDI'S last military move, if we turn to a
map, seems pretty plain. Capua intervenes be-
tween Naples and Gaeta. The first strong body of
the Royal forces are posted there ; GARIBALDI
aims to capture them, as he did the two battalions
in Calabria. He prefers out-generalling to
attacking, not only as a greater military feat, but

as better policy. He spares Italian blood, dis

credits Royalist Generals, and gains prestige with
the soldiers he defeats at the same time. About a
week ago, therefore, he contrived to surround
Capua on every side. To mask his movements be
attacked the position there, and would seem to
have suffered some loss in the attempt. Two hun-
dred men, it is stated, were placed hors de
combat. But his real object was completely
obtained. He seized on Castel Volturno,
at the mouth of the river on which
Capua is situated about a dozen miles higher up.
Caserta, batween Capua and Naples, he had al-
ready advanced to. Cajazzo, on the cast side of
Capua, he also carried, and the Neapolitans in vain
endeavoured afterwards to drive him from here.
Their efforts seem to show that the military im-

Very memorable among the oracular axioms of
the Almanach des Gourmands is the dictum—
" With this sauce one might eat one's own father."
We are almost tempted to recognise in " G. H:M."
—the writer of an anonymous communication to
the chief among our morning contemporaries, a
communication (descriptive of a recent "Dinner at
Moscow") which we submit to our readers in ano-
ther part of our own impression of this evenin,g—

we are almost tempted, we say, to recognise in

" G. H, M." a lineal descendant of this paracidal-
cannibal of the Almanach aforesaid. The gusto
with which every opinion is expressed in this asto-
nishing communication is throughout quite as re-
volting—is, in every syllable of it, to the full as
sickening. Our purpose, in affording an elaborate
little treatise upon gastronomy thus odious, to our
thinking, in its every particular, the benefit of our
circulation, is one simply and solely designed to
the end, that the perusal of this extraordinary com-
munication may prove so far, as an American might
say, cautionary !

umelious.

portance of that position relatively to Capua is
great. And a few days ago we learned that he had
landed troops between Capua and Gaeta. Capua
appears, therefwe, to be surrounded on the north,
south, east, and west ; while he is concentrating
his troops—those not occupied as above, we pre-
sume—on the heights of Volturno, regarding that as
the most favourable point from which to attack the
Neapolitans. Whether he will actually attack them,
or whether, as in Calabria, he will let them see that
he has them at his mercy a little time will now
show. It may be that, the KING has desperadoes
at Capua who will venture anything, but the
GENERAL's arrangements appear to point in the

The description given by " G. H. M." is nothing
more important than the description of a dinner
devoured at half-past five of the clock one Wednes-
day evening at the establishment of that " justly-
celebrated restaurant" of Moscow, M. SAMAREENA.
The celebrant of this banquet, who apparently
finds as much difficulty in writing plain English
as he would doubtless find difficulty in eating a
plain English dinner, is particularly careful to
premise that the day of the week was ajour maigre ;
that his only companions were a few Russian
gourmets ; that the dishes devoured by them were
brought on, not as with us en masse, but in sequence
and separately; that the banquet, in fact, was not
only a diner a la Busse, but one necessarily involv-
ing, he writes in true Parisian slip-slop, " tout ce
y a de plus Busse." One exceptional circum-
stance, however, he is constrained to acknowledge
at the outset, a circumstance so exceptional as to
derogate, unhappily, from the peculiarly national
character of the ceremonial he is describing, viz.,
that the dinner, instead of being at the usual
Russian dinner hour of 2,3, or 4 p.m., was, as we
have already intimated, at 5 30 p.m. precisely on
this thenceforth doubtless to " G. H. M." red-letter
Wednesday. The change of hour being traceable,
however, to a determination on the part of M.
SAMAREENA " to bring the whole power of his esta-
blishment to bear on the important point of rivalling

direction of looking for a surrender. Some accounts
represent the KING as having 60,000 soldiers still
with him at the two towns. If he has, what and
where can they be to allow GARIBALDI to take up
the positions we have just described ? Thirty
thousand is probably the outside.
Of the King of SARDINIA'S military movements
we hear but little. Indeed, he seems to have occu-

pied the entire territory of the Papal States except
Rome and its immeliate territory. Ancona still
holds out for a little while, with its garrison vat.%
ously estimated at 4,000 and 8,000 men; the lower
figure is thought the most probable one; it can
make, however, hilt little difference. The place
had been bombarded for nine hours by the Sardi-
nian fleet, and is said to have replied vigorously ;
the assault had•been suspended during a conference:
betwean the Sardinian Admiral and General, Prat-
Ba.No and CIALDINI, but a siege train has bee u
landed. When the town is captured Vicrov.

Mrs. CRUPP, the lodging-house landlady in
"David Copperfield," is, by the recommendation
that everything else shall be had from the pastr3
enabled to concentrate the whole of her
( attention upon the cheese and potatoes.

It is some time, nevertheless, even after this,
' ;:fore we find ourselves seated iu imagination by

he side of "G. H. M.," at the dinner-table of
M. SAMAREENA. We have previously, in fancy, to
be bathed with him in a Russian bath at three
o'clock in the afternoon—passing through the -whole
of that " long and intricate but deliciou4 operation"

`—among other parts of the ceremonial being
i flogged all over with laurestina boughs, with every
leaf steeped in perfume." One's desire is to read it
rather for our amiable guttler and guzzler,
" G. H. M.," with a good-sized birch rod steeped at
every twig in gall and wormwood—afterwards to
be swathed in linen and laid upon sofas—there to
sip quass, a rye-flour drink, and eat a nasty mess
compounded of beer, black bread, citrons and
spices, a mess invented by the poet PUCKSIN, and
called " lampopo." At length after all this careful
preparation " G. H. M." is fairly seated before his
trough at SAMAREENA'S. Chairs are out of the
question for these hogs of refinement. They squat
themselves upon divans by the open windows. Not
yet, however, have they reached the dinner itself in
its integrity—they have yet to eat and drink cer-
tain other appetizers,—they have to sip a " first
rate liqueur, called "vodka" (it is wonderful how
many things in the Moscow dinner are described
monotonously by " G. H. M." as "first-rate" with
a sort of audible smacking of the lips), a liqueur
tasting " like maraschino, with a delicate flavour
of carraway seeds"—they have to consume white
bread and butter with a piece of caviare and a slice
of salt cucumber—and then having " brought their
frames into a state fit for dining" they begin their
banquet ! Recollect they have already swallowed
rye-flour in the shape of quass—beer, black bread,
spice, and citron in the form of lampopo—native
brandy mixed with fruit under the guise of the
liqueur called " vodka"—white bread, butter, a
lump of caviare and a slice of salt cucumber.
After all which, at the veritable dinner
itself—if they don't so far realise the Reverend
SYDNEY SMITH'S notion of a gourmand's
heaven, "Eating pates de foie gras to the sound
of trumpets" they devour to the music
of an orchestral organ the first dish of all—an
open pate of trout, lying in a white sauce, served
very hot, cut with a peculiar action of the knife,
and called rastiagai ! Afterwards comes a rich
yellow soup, named suha, made of sterlite and
nalime, being the Russian eel-pout and small stur-
geon—" the delicate pink flesh" of the latter floating
in the yellow liquid (quoth " G. MM." with a par-
ticularity as though he loved it), producing " a
mixture to gratify the eye and palate of a Savarin
of any nation." For the rest we can only number
up briefly some of the more remarkable among the
subsequent portions of a dinner so rich, so gross,
so succulent, and savory, as to be amply sufficient to
pall the appetite of a LIICULLUS in rude health, and
to make the gorge of a HELIOGUBALUS rise at the
mere enumeration,
Imagine, then, a mayonnaise and chicken cutlet
(after all that has been previously served up),
covered with a creamy substance, with a paste
made of sliced apples, gherkins, plums, and almonds
—followed by beef piqué stewed in hunches of
alternate fat and lean, smothered in a sauce of pre-
served hips and haws and conserved ash berries—
succeeded in turn by artichokes stuffed with mush-
rooms soddened with butter until nearly melting
—and followed next by meat dumplings, composed
of veal, ham, mutton, and bacon, beaten up together
in yoke of egg, stewed with onions, capers, honey,
and vinegar, and served up with fried potatoes,
stewed olives, peas, and sliced lemons ! Imagine
after this a horrid compound, being in reality a
pale green soup of iced tea, iced quass, and iced
salt cucumbers—after these, a little roast bird,
called the ryalehick, served up with cherries and
broccoli—the whole completed with raspberries
and cream, iced blanc-mange and strawberries, pre-
served lettuce-stalks, candied oranges, preserved
melon-rind, and preserved rose leaves ! Imagine
" G. 11. 'M." recounting all this gourmandising, his
mouth watering all the while at the mere retro-
spect, lingering over the recollection of each plat,
commending this specialite and that, pronouncing
one dish after another "first-rate," and then bidding
all his fellow-countrymen who have the time, like
C.ESAR, to ." Came and see, and—taste !" If all
this be not sickening to a rational being we know
not what can be. To the letter itself, in its
entirety, we refer our readers as to a document at
once curious and, we must repeat the Yankeeism,
cautionary. It seems almost a pity that" G. H. M."
should not have been born a coy, , so that he might
have had the enjoyment of three stomachs. One
can hardly be enough for him. The world is evi-
dently his oyster, which he with knife and fork will
open. Man is best described, of course, in his esti-
mation as a cooking animal. The banner of civili-
sation in his eyes must be without question the
Dinner Napkin. His favourite prayer—Grace
before Meals! His chief ambition every day to
get an appetite. His purpose in life to preserve
his digestive powers undimmed and undiminished.
A grovelling prayer, a despicable ambition, a
shameful purpose—reminding one of those pagan
worldlings whose " God is their belly"—for whom
the Apostle of the Gentiles could hardly find words
of condemnation sufficiently scornful and con-

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, SEPT. 25.

The Constitutionnel publishes an article signed by
by M. Boniface on the influences which urge the
Pope to leave Rome.
The Constitutionnel says :—" A very near future
will apprise us where these inftuences will be
victorious." _ _

The same journal further says :—" It is unreason-
able to ask that France should declare war against
Sardinia. France will not extend her intervention
beyond Rome. Were she to act otherwise she
would render herself suspected to Europe and odious
to Italy."
The Constitutionnel, in conclusion, expresses the
hope that the Pope may resist the counsels which
are given to him through hatred to France.

CASERTA, SEPT. 21.
A few days ago Garibaldi attacked Capua, in

THE LOSS OF THE LADY ELGIN.

assume the post. How is this sudden change to
be explained ?
The Sicilian Ministry is eniirely anti-annexa-
tionist, and the Mazzinian elements are not want-
ing there. The arrival of Mazzini himself at
Naples is announced, but it requires confirmation.
Three days ago Mazzini was at Parma, and talked
of going to Genoa to make some stay there.
" The great game is being played between
Cavour and Garibaldi. It is presumed that within
another fortnight one or the other must disappear
from the political arena in Italy if this unhappy
country is to be spared the horrors of civil war.
Garibaldi is at the present moment at the height of
popularity ; he can dispose of an army of 50,000
men. Public opinion is blindly devoted to him.
On the other hand, Count Cavour is strong in the
confidence of Parliament; popularity has not yet
forsaken him. Piedmont, properly speaking, de-
fends him, and Turin especially.
"We have little news to-day from the actual seat
of war. The operations are confined to the siege
of Ancona. It is now said that M. Quatrebarbes
and General Lamoriciere intend to make a despe-
rate resistance.
" Our loss at Castelfidardo amounts to 1,000
killed and wounded ; 15 officers were placed hors
de combat, three of them superior officers.
" The following proclamation has been issued by
Garibaldi to the inhabitants of Palermo :
" The people of Palermo, who showed no fear in face of
those who bombarded their city, have shown themselves
recently equally regardless of fear in face of corrupt men,
who want to lead them astray.
" They have spoken to you of annexation, as if any one
was more fervent than myself for the regeneration of Italy ;
but their ;31 ject was to serve personal interests, and you re-
plied like a people who felt its own dignity, and placed con-
fidence in the sacred and unviolated programme which I
proclaimed, ' Italy and Victor Emmanuel.'
"At Rome, people of Palermo, we will proclaim the
kingdom of Italy, and there only will be sanctified the great
family bond between free men and those who are still
slaves of the same country.
"At Palermo annexation was demanded, that I might
not pass the Straits ; at Naples it is demanded, that I may
not cross the Volturnus. But as long as there are chains
to be broken in Italy, I will follow my course or bury my
bones there.
"I leave you Mordini as pro-Dictator, and certainly he
will show himself worthy of you and of Italy. I have yet
to thank you, as well as the brave national militia, for the
faith you have placed in me and in the destinies of our
country. " GARIBALDI.
" Palermo, Sept. 17, 1860."
A letter from Genoa, dated 22d of September,
gives the following account of Garibaldi's sudden
visit to Palermo :
" Advices from Palermo inforni us that on the
17th Garibaldi paid an unexpected visit to Pa-
lermo. He arrived there on board the Electrique,
Neapolitan steamer, and immediately proceeded to
the Palace, passing through the high street Toledo,
where he was at once recognised by the crowd.
The General, followed by the people who assem-
bled beneath the palace windows, appeared upon
the balcony, and addressed them in the following
words, which I copy from the Rianovimento :
g, ;People of Palermo, with whom I have shared fatigues,
perils, and glory, lam once more among you. Your memory
is dear to me, and, whatever part of the world I may be in,
I will always think of you.
" ' Those who wished to urge you to a speedy annexation
were putting you to the wrong path. If I had followed
their advice I should not haN, e crossed the Straits and re-
stored seven millions of men to Italy.
" ' They would have prostrated us at the feet of diplo-
macy, which would have bound us hand and foot. There
would have been brothers beyond the Volturnus with chains
on their ancles. People of Palermo, I thank you in the
1 name-of Italy for your resistance. I love Italy and Victor
'Emmanuel. No one is a greater friend than myself of Victor
Emmanuel, the representative of Italy. You despised their
counsels, and I thank you for it, you invincible people of
the ' barricades.'
" The General afterwards held a review, and re-embarked
again at dusk."
" A decree, signed by Garibaldi, and counter-
signed by all the Ministers, is published in the
Official Gazette of Naples, proclaiming the Sardi-
ian statute."

The following account of the melancholy disaster
on Lake Michigan is from the New York 4! orniny
Express, of Sept. 10. It will be seen that the re-
ports with regard to Mr. Ingram, M.P., and his
son, and the numbers on board and lost, are con-
fused and contradictory ; but we have at present no
means of reconciling what is manifestly discrepant,
and extracting the simple truth :
" CHICAGO, SEPT. S.
" The steamer Lady Elgin, in the Lake Superior
Line, which left; here last night, was run into by
the schooner Augusta, off Waukegan, at half past
two o'clock this morning. From 350 to 400 per-
sons are said to have been on board, and among
them were the Black Yagers, the Green Yagers and
rifles, and several fire companies of Mil waukie, who
were on a visit to this city. Colonel Lumsden of
the New Orleans Picayune, and family, were on
board, and are supposed to be among the lost. At
the time of the accident, the schooner was sailing
at the rate of eleven miles an hour. The stea.mtug
111eQueen left this morning for the scene of the
disaster.

" STATEMENT OF THE CLERK.
" The Lady Elgin left the port of Chicago at half-
past 11 o'clock for Lake Superior. Among the pas-
sengers were the Union Guard of Milwaukie, com-
posing a part of some 250 excursionists from that
city. At about half-past two o'clock this morning
the schooner Augusta, of Oswego, came in collision
with the Lady Elgin whets about ten miles from
shore. The vessel struck the steamer midships
gangway on the larboard side. The two vessels
separated instantly, and the Augusta drifted by in
the darkness. At the moment of the collision there
was music and dancing going on in the forward
cabin. In an instant after the crash all was still,
and in half an hour the steamer sank. I passed
through the cabins. The ladies were pale, but
silent. There was not a cry or a shriek--no sound
but the rush of the steam and the surge of the heavy
.sea. Whether they were not fully aware of the
danger, or whether their appalling situation made
them speechless, I cannot tell. A boat was lowered
at once, with the design of going round upon the
larboard side to examine the leak. There were two
oars belonging to the boat, but just at that moment
some person possessed himself of one of them, and
we were powerless to manage the boat. We suc-
ceeded once in reaching the wheel, but were quickly
drifted away and thrown upon the beach at Winetka.
Only two boats were left on the steamer. One of
thou contained thirteen persons, all of whom were
saved. The other bore eight persons, but only
four of them reached the shore alive, the four
others being drowned at the beach. Before I
left the steamer the engines had ceased to work,
the fires having, been extinguished. The force
and direction of the wind was such that the
boats and fragments of the wreck were driven up
the lake, and would reach the shore in the vicinity
of Winetka. As I stood upon the beach, hopelessly
looking back upon the route we had drifted, I could
see,lin the gray of the morning, objects floating upon
the water, and sometimes, I thought, human beings
struggling with the waves.—ll. G. CLAVYL, clerk
of the Lady Elgin."
" NAMES OF PERSONS KNOWN TO BE ABOARD THE
STEAMER.

last evening, and took passage on the Lady Elgin :

MODERN WAREHOUSES.-TUBULAR GIRDERS IN
BUILDINGS.—The employment of iron girders upon the
tubular principle in the erection of commercial structures,
where the greatest space and light tire required, has just
received a very practical proof of its efficiency by the com-
pletion of the magnificent stack of business premises in-
tended for the joint occupation of the Messrs. Courtauld
and the Messrs. I'Vreford in Aldernaanbury. The principal
iron girder sustains the whole weight of the private portion
of the premises of the former, and is capable, according to
the data of Fairbairn, Tredgold, and others, of beating ten-
fold its present burden. By its means the whole of the
business part of the establishment is rendered exceedingly
spacious and free from impeding archways or pillars,
white it admits of the entrance from above of an expansive
flood of the pure northern light, so requisite for the exn,xo-
nation of silks, crapes, &e. Light is transmitted to thei

of the hurricane deck :—" I was asleep in the mate's
room at the time of the accident. The watchman
came in and told the first mate that a vessel had
run into the steamer's port side, just forward of
the wheelhouse and stove a hole in her. The
mato and myself went directly on deck. Found
Captain Wilson there. The steamer had on board
some 150 to 180 head of cattle. The captain ordered
the cattle to be thrown overboard, and they were
thrown over by the crew. The first and second
mates went in the lifeboat to stop the leak. They
found the hole so low that they could not get at it.
I The steamer was listed over, but they could not get
at the leak. The captain ordered all the passengers
to get life preservers ; I think most of them did.
He then ordered the crew to take axes and break
open the state-room doors, so that none should be
left in them. I think nearly every passenger got
out, although I pulled one out as we floated by the
state room. A short time after this the engine fell
through the bottom of the vessel—l should think
15 minutes after the schooner struck. The hull.
went down immediately, leaving the hurricane deck
floating. A great portion of the passengers were
on the hurricane deck when the hull went down.
The most of them jumped off very soon, thinking
the vessel would sink. The hurricane deck was
separated into five pieces ; there were 25 on the
part on which I was; the captain was on this;
there were some military from Milwaukie and six
or seven ladies—the other four pieces went off with
a number on each. We held cabin doors for sails,
and came down smoothly as far as Winetka. When
within a few rods of the shore the raft capsized;
some of us got back on her, among them the captain
and myself; the captain got some of the ladies back
on ; a big sea came and washed us off. The captain
was the last man on her. I heard him cheering
the passengers ; another sea came, washed him
off, and he was drowned. Of the 25 who were
on her only eight were saved. After the life-
boat was launched a yawl, which was aft, was
launched ; two boats were launched from the
hurricane deck. I knew only two men on the raft,
the captain and Mr. Wald, the clerk of the Na-
tional Mine, at Ontonagon. When it became light
in the morning the four rafts were in sight, and
a great many floating on pieces of the wreck."
The lake in every direction was filled with frag-
ments of the wreck, to which some 50 or 60 hu-
man beings were clinging when the reports first
arrived. Only a few ef those reached shore. The
surf ran fearfully in shore, and in almost every
instance, when the rafts came within a few rods
from the shore, the heavy rollers would capsize
them within sight and hailing distance of those on
the shore.

GARIBALDI'S WAR IN SOUTH' ITALY.

A letter from the advancei posts of Santa Maria,
dated Sept. 18, says—Our advanced posts were
pushed on here on the night of the 15th without
opposition, the three battalions of infantry and
handful of cavalry which occupied this position
falling back rapidly on the main body at Capua ;
and our advanced skirmishers now line the left

bank of the Volturno, which passes to the south-
west of that town, an immediate attack on which is
precluded from our want of heavy artillery.
Two or three batteries are, however, preparing
in Naples ; and ere long, unless the troops of
the Bourbon should surrender on hearing of
the annihilation of Lamoriciere and his merce-
naries, we shall no doubt be able to give a good
account of them. So great is their dread of our
men that nearly the whole night they keep up
a spasmodic fire of artillery, evidently the result
of numerous false alarms of our advance ; and
one might almost imagine that we were in the
vicinity of a Chinese instead of an European army.
Our men are in capital condition, and number be-
tween 17,000 and 18,000, more than enough for
the work before them, as in Capna there are only
15,000 ; but the enemy are supported by a very
heavy and formidable artillery ; the remainder of
their force, 15,000, are in the vicinity of or form
a part of the garrison of Gaeta. Of the 40,000
Calabrians brought up by Stocco, 20,030 are in and
about Naples, and about to be added to our diffe-
rent divisions, which, including the half of Medici's
division left at Messina, will bring the number of
Garibaldi's regulars up to but little short of 50,000
men ; the remaining 20,000 are at Salerno being
organised in battalions by Colonel Corte. So that
within a few weeks Garibaldi will be at the head of
some 70,000 regulars, to say nothing of the Nea-
politans who are flocking in, and who areto form
a separate corps.
These forces are not one whit too many to en-
counter the vast difficulties which are encircling
Italy at the present moment—menaced, as she un-
doubtedly is, by anarchy within, and by her old
enemy, Austria, from without. Now, from these
dangers there appears but one deliverance, namely,
immediate and universal annexation, and leaving
the French in the possession of Rome and Civita
Vecchia, that the entire country may rally round
Victor Emmanuel in a death struggle for exist-
ence. Whether the rumour which has reached us
of the Austrians having already advanced into
Central Italy be true or not, a struggle with that
empire cannot lung be delayed ; and with-the entire
population at his back, and supported by Gari-
baldi's advance from the South, and by the recent
additions to his navy, Victor Emmanuel might find
himself able to cope with the overrated power of
Austria. She would soon be menaced in the rear,
in Venetia and on the shores of Dalmatia and the
advance of her legions considerably imperilled.
Hungary also is not likely to remain tranquil,
and Europe can hardly afford to let Germany come
to the support of the far-famed Quadrilateral.
The causes which have driven Cavour thus sud-
denly to brave the active hostility of Austria and
to throw off the intolerable fetters which French.
diplomacy was fast rivetting upon Italy may be
thus briefly stated. That consummate statesman
uncontrollable, and that however
found that Garibaldi's ever increasing power was
fast becoming
loyal that paladin of Italy might be, red-repub-
licanism, headed by Mazzini, was threatening to
getthe
the mastery of the revolution, and thus
national struggle into disrepute, and
perhaps even subvert his own Government and

overtaken by events, when they would be alike im-
potentcourse which the re-
volution might seek to pursue. It was far wiser
therefore to brave every danger, and by at once
heading the national movement resume a power
which was rapidly slipping from their
grasp. By
stifling anarchy in its birth,•
b y accepting every inch

annexation, and by boldly
sharing in the common perils of the country, the
King would assert his right to lead the councils of
Italy, and reap his reward in the gratitude of
26,000,000 of his countrymen—for, whatever may
be the result of this bold decision, Victor Emmanuel
will have his right to rule asserted
tional
Italy,
and Cavour, of late the best abused
man in Italy, may consolidate the fabric upon
which his consummate skill and craft have formed
the basis, whilst the surrender of Savoy and Nice,
if not forgiven, may be generously forgotten.
The return of Garibaldi this day from Palermo
where deplorable differences between the Cavourian
and republican parties had led to tip resignation
of Depretis, after having restored order and left
Mordini as pro-dictator, evidently to be succeeded
by Aurelio Saffi, is also a guarantee that events
here will not be much behind the energetic move-
ment of Fanti and Cialdini in the Marches and
Umbria; and that bigoted mercenary Lamoriciere
and his levies IKing destroyed, a further effusion of
blood may be spared in this portion of Italy. The
terms of the capitulation of the force before us aro
already a matter of discussion, and I have every
reason to believe will be completed on the arrival
of Garibaldi, when it is to be hoped the fatuous
young monarch will take his departure, and
enable the general to consolidate the government
of the country, and prepare for the spring, or, if
needful, at once to attempt a diversion on the shores
of the Adriatic.
P.S.—M. Brenier and the French legation are
going to depart from Naples on Thursday, leaving
secretary in charge of the archives.
