PARIS, SUNDAY.
The Moniteur of to-day makes the following
announcement :

"A naval division, under the command of Vice-
Admiral Jehenne, sailed yesterday from Brest for
the Mediterranean."

M. Massimo d'Azeglio has set out for London.
The Pays denies the accuracy of the version of
the Times as to the bases on which it is proposed
that the Congress shall deliberate, and says that
these bases as proposed by England and accepted by
the four Powers are textually as follows:

"1. To concert means for the maintenance o
peace between Austria and Sardinia.

" 2. The manner in which the evacuation of the
Roman States by the French and Austrian troops
may best be effected.
" 3. Whether it is desirable to effect reforms in
the internal administration of the Roman States
and the other States of Italy whose administration
may be faulty to such an extent as to a create a
permanent and dangerous state of trouble and dis-
content, and what these reforms shall be.

" 4. To substitute for the treaties between Austria
and the Duchies a confederation of the Italian
States for their mutual protection, both internally
and externally."

By F. B. COURTENAY,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure of Strictures of tile Urethra.

" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view
of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this
Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. These
objects are discussed in a common-sense and highly practical
manner."—Medical Circular.

QURE CURE.-LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC
)•-_, BALSAM, without confining the bowels or affecting the
head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to be the best
medicine for immediately relieving coughs, colds, confirmed
cases of asthma, and consumption. It frequent'y cures per-
sons whom the faculty pronounce incurable, admirably allays
the tickling which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ink; consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons de-
prived of sleep, or even ying down for fear of suffocation,
may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it —Pre-

THE DIFFICULTY.

In order to enable our readers to understand the
diplomatic events of the last few days touching the
perliminary arrangements for a Congress to take
into consideration the political condition of Italy,
we will state as briefly as possible what has taken
place :-
1. When a Congress was first proposed Austria
demanded that Piedmont should disarm, without
any guarantees. This demand was discountenancd
immediately by all the great Powers.
2. Then Austria demanded that all the great
Powers should accept the principle of a disarma-
ment, the details and provisions of which were to
be discussed and arranged at the Congress.
3. To these propositions France agreed, as well
as the other great Powers, although Russia observed
the disarming would be more logical after a
Congress.
4. Austria was not content with this arrange-
ment, but employed England to urge France to
demand Piedmont to disarm under any circum-
stances.

5. France replied that she would not support
such a demand, as neither Sardinia nor the other
Italian States would be admitted on equal terms at
the Congress, nor would their voice be heard in
councils initiated to discuss the interest of Italy,
and remove evils registered in the protocols of the
Treaty of Paris, and acknowledged by all the great
Powers as dangerous to the peace of the world.
This is a correct statement of passing ecents.—

Sir Charles Barry, we (Athenceron) hear, is
named the architect of the new l'alace of Art in Piccadilly,

Banks are the architects of the adjoining Palace of

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GitAy!s-INN-itoAD.—
The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the
week ending April 10, was 2,339, of which 4.106 were new
cases.
The condition of the Cambridge men after their
upset in the boat race on Friday was rather distressing.
They were stripped of their wet clothes, and they were not
many; but the difficulties were, how to get dry ones—a
difficulty not well g-ot over till they arrived at Putney. The
bow-oar in the Cambridge boat (says the Er•a) was so ill
that he was carried helpless as a child out of the London
Rowing Club boat and kindly received by Mr. Gregory, of
the Iles Club, at Barnes-terrace, into his house, where he
received proper medical treatment.

Sydney; 25,698 Port Philip; 1,890 Tasmania ; 10,718
Adelaide ; 4,996 Cape • and five New Zealand. There is a
moderate inquiry for English qualities, at full prices. In
foreign and colonial very little is doing at late rates. Last

gentlemen to be the best for Hernia. It consists of a
small and elastic pad, to which a lever is attached,
and (instead of the usual steel spring) a soft bandage, fitting
so closely as to avoid detection. A descriptive circular may
be had, and the truss forwarded by post, on the circumference
of the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the
manufacturer, Mr. John White, 228, Piccadilly.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the

Cure' of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to • the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

MOELFRA, Oct. 27.—The Royal Charter, screw steamer,
from Melbourne to Liverpool, has completely broken up.
No treasure has been recovered as yet, except about 200
sovereigns, picked up here and there amongst the rocks.
It is thought that the bottom of the vessel will not come
dry, and that it will be necessary to employ divers to re-
cover the valuables. The wool and other floating articles
are strewn about the coast in every direction.
SHIELDS, Oct. 27.—The Tyren, of this port, was run
down off 'Whitby, on the night of the 25th, by the Vic-
toria of Malden; four of her crew perished in attempting
to get on board the latter vessel.
ST. IVES, Oct. 27.—Intelligence was received last even-
ing of the loss of the Sir Robert Peel, schooner, of this
port, near Portreath; crew. drowned. The Pearl, of this
port, is ashore at St. Agnes ; crew saved. Three St.
Ives coasters are just reported as lost—the Sultana and
Selina Drake, and another, name unknown. The Severn,
from Cardiff to Rouen, reported yesterday as wrecked on
Hoyle Bar, has completely broken up.

PROROGATION OF CONVOCATION THIS DAY).—
This morning the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was
attended by Dr. Travers Twiss, the Vicar-General of the
Province, Mr. Hart Dyke, the Registrar, and several other
officials, proceeded to the Jerusalem Chamber, adjacent to
Westminster Abbey,:for the purpose of proroguing the Con-
vocation of the prelates and clergy of the province of Can-
terbury. His grace, having taken his seat, directed Mr.
Dyke to read the schedule of prorogation, which announced
that the sitting of the Convocation would be deferred until
Friday, the 16th of December. None of the bishops or re-
presentatives of the clergy were present during the cere-
mony, which lasted only a few ;minutes.
London, England, 1859-10-28

PLYMOUTH.

On Tuesday a very heavy gale from the southward
and eastward prevailed in this neighbourhood, and
being accompanied in the evening by an extraordi-
nary high tide, has caused considerable damage.
The trawling sloops connected with the port were
obliged to abandon their nets in the Channel and
run into the Sound for shelter, and some of the
Irish steamvessels were compelled to put back.
The turnpike road between Livermead and Tor-
quay, constructed in part on piles, was flooded and
damaged to the extent of £2,000, and various turn-
pike roads near Newton, Kingsteigtiton, and Pow-
derham, suffered in a- similar way.
Damage of a much more serious character has,
however, been done on the. South Devon Rail-
way, which frequently" skirts the :sea between
Newton and Exeter. In the river • Teign, be-
tween the town and the bridge, a considerable
length of the granite coping stone on the sea wall
is displaced, and near East Teignmouth the sea wall
has been washed down, and stones weighing.ncarly
two tons thrown on the lines. Here there are two
walls which have between- them a public walk.
Both walls have been thrown down, and scattered
in all difeetions. Fortunately the line is double'
here, and the inner line, called the east slip siding,
remains intact. 'At Lane,6•Stone Point, between
Dawlish and Starcross, another breach occurs. Be-
tween Turf and Powderham, after passing Star-
cross, the embankment is carried away from half to
three-quarters of a mile in length, and the ballast-
ing is washed from under the sleepers, so that some
time will be occupied in completing the necessary
repairs. The first train stopped was the one which
leaves Exeter at 4.20 p.m. With considerable dif-
ficulty and danger it waded over the line, but was
obliged to stop at Dawlish. The telegraph wires
are blown down in several places. The traffic be-
tween Plymouth mid Dawlish was to be resumed
yesterday.

" With the aid of the Most High, I am about to
employ an incessant zeal in order to anticipate the
dangerous effects of this state of things.
" My sovereign and absolute will is that my
Ministers, on their part, should spare neither pains
nor efforts, and should devote themselves to the
development of those means which will insure the
wellbeing of Turkey without allowing themselves
to be led away by considerations of personal rivalry.
He who would act in opposition to this end
would have to render an account of his
conduct in this world and in the next. And as it
is only by the adoption of energetic measures that
we can draw ourselves from the abyss in which we
are now plunged, and likewise save the credit of
the empire, we must examine in a serious and pro-
found manner, both in principle and in detail, the
great point—namely, the abandonment or change
in those customs and acts which have occasioned
all these expenses, and, with God's assistance, re-
organise the general administration of the country
in a manner that will give confidence to the world.
I command that the result of the examination which
will be made into this important question shall be
submitted to me.

PARIS, OCT. 28.

The Constitutionnel, in an article signed by its
editor, M. Grandguillot, maintains its belief that
a congress will take place notwithstanding the re-
strictions made by the English press in consenting
to a congress. The Constitutionnel explains the
reasons which have rendered the speedy assembling
of a congress necessary. The state of affairs in
Italy had been settled by the treaties of 1815 in
such a manner that the arrangement agreed to
must humiliate France, and compromise the poli-
tical existence of the Peninsula, in consequence of
which permanent dangers were created to Europe.
This state of affairs was the real cause of the revo-
lutions of 1830 and 1848. The article concludes
with a protestation against the statement that
France intends to establish a protectorate over
Italy.

ments contained in the correspondence of tho
Univers on the affairs of the Romagna.

TEA.--At public sale prices were at a decline of about id.

ness continues very inactive.
SUGAR.—A fair amount of business has been done in
British Plantation 'at fully late values. Foreign descrip-
tions have been inactive, and in the refined market a mode-
rate business has boon transacted at a slight advance in
prices. _ . .

COFFEE.—At the public sale of Plantation Ceylon a de-
cline of about Gd. per cwt. took place, other descriptions
were inactive, and barely realised former values.
Mex.—The market is dull, no material change having
taken place in prices.
FRUIT.—The demand for medium qualities of currants
has been exceedingly active, and sales have been effected,
to some extent, at former rates.
SALTPETRE.—The market is steady, but only a moderate
business has been recorded, at former quotations.
TALLOW.—There has been a steady enquiry for present
delivery, and P.Y.C., on the spot, and all the year's,
quoted 595. Gd. to 595. 9d. per cwt.
GREEN FRUlT.—Demand good, market well supported
for all kinds. A parcel of Madeira oranges, sold by Keel-
ing and Hunt at public sale, went at los per box; ches-

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was rather scantily supplied with Eng-
lish wheat, both old and new, and the general quality of the
sample was rather inferior. Prime wheats were disposed
of at Monday's currency : but other kinds met a dull in-
quiry on former terms.
The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive. The
demand ruled very inactive, nevertheless importers were
firm, and prices were supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request.
The barley trade was firm at fully Monday's currency.
The transactions in malt were only moderate, yet fine
parcels were held at very full currencies.
We had a steady consumptive demand for oats at extreme
Quotations. _ _

Both beans and peas were a dull inquiry, at barely late
rates ; but the flour trade was tolerably firm.

SIR,—AII that you recently said, in noticing In de'

verified by the loss of the Royal Charter, screw stenvo-
after touching at Queenstown on her voyage from art 01

consignment. „ht

She has had a wonderfully short passage, having "wo

senders, letters, and general cargo, a valuable conge,

already too certain, the total loss of ship and contents

PLYMOUTH.

On Tuesday a very heavy gale from the southward
and eastward prevailed in this neighbourhood, and
being accompanied in the evening by an extraordi-
nary. high tide, has caused considerable damage.
The trawling sloops connected with the port were
obliged to abandon their nets in the Channel and
run into the Sound for, shelter, and some of the
Irish steamvessels. were compelled to put back. •
The turnpike road between Livermead and Tor-
quay, constructed in part on piles, was flooded and
damaged to the extent of £2,000, and various turn-
pike roads near Newton, Kingsteignton, and Pow,
derham, suffered in a similar way.
Damage of a much more, serious character has,
however, been done on the South Devon Rail-
way, which frequently skirts the T. sea between
Newton and Exeter. In the river Teign, be-
tween the town . and the , bridge, a considerable
length of the granite coping stone on the sea wall
is displaced, and near East Teignmouth the sea wall
has been washed down, and stones weighing nearly
two tons thrownon the -lines. here there are two
walls which have between them a public walk.
Both walls have been thrown down, and scattered
in all directions.. Fortunately the line is double
here, and the inner line, called the east slip siding,
remains intact. At- Langston° Point, between
Dawlish and Starcross,,another breach occurs. Be-
tween• Turf and Powderham, after passing Star-
cross, the embankment is carried away from half to
three-quarters of a mile in length, and the ballast-
ing is washed from under the sleepers, so that some
time will be occupied in completing the necessary
repairs. • The first train stopped was the one which
leaves Exeter at 4.20 p.m. With considerable dif-
ficulty and danger it waded over the line, but was
obliged to stop at DaWlish. The -telegraph wires
are blown down in several. places. The traffic be-
tween Plymouth and Dawlish was to be resumed
yesterday.

CARDIFF.

Eight bodies were washed ashore at Cardiff on
the 26th, at 7 p.m. Several wrecks have passed in
the channel, and three or four vessels are on shore.
One unfinished house in Cardiff and one in Routh-
town are brown down.

SHIELDS, THURSDAY, NOON.

The gale has entirely abated. The wind is N.N. W.,
mild, and a fine clear day. We have fortunately
no shipping disasters to report on the coast of
Northumberland. But the reports that are being
received hourly by the ship insurance clubs of
wrecks and losses that have occurred south of the
Tyne are of the most painful character. Great
anxiety urevails for the safety of the laden colliers
that were at sea during the gale. Those that
have come ashore and are wrecked are pretty
well 'ascertained, but those tkat were out at sea,
and may have sprung a leak and sunk, or may have
been run down, are the greatest cause of anxiety.
The Welsh schooner Auenrin, from Carnarvon, was
towed into the Tyne last night with her masts gone
and the decks swept. On Tuesday night about ten
o'clock during the gale the Syren, of Shields, was
run down, off Whitby, by the Victoria, of Maldon.
As the Syren was sinking the, men endeavoured to
get on board the Victoria, when unfortunately three
of them were crushed between the vessels and
drowned, and the fourth, in leaping to the Victoria.
felt into the sea and was drowned.
Two vessels are ashore near Sunderland, but, for-
tunately, the crews were rescued, and, as the weather
has moderated, hopes are entertained that they may
be got off; and as the weather is mild the larger
number of the vessels that ran ashore at Hartlepool
and were s;rauded in the gale will be got off. It
is reported here that a Hartlepool vessel, the Ben-
jamin Barnett, sunk at Bridlington, and all hands
drowned. A considerable amount of damage has
been done to the pier works and railway at the
mouth of the Tyne by the storm.

DALE.

But more than this. Is it not infamous for any
man who treads the free soil of our free country
to wish the Italians, or any portion of them, to re-
main the slaves of a stupid old PorE, and a
set of bloodthirsty, money-loving, ambitious car-
dinals 9 Of men who can massacre at Perugia,
and drain the people of their silver and gold
that they may enrich themselves, and have moans
to tread the Romans under foot. We do not think
the POPE and his Cardinals worse than any set of
mortals, if placed under the, same temptations ; but
we deny that ecclesiastics, especially unmarried ecclo
siastics, ought to be placed in such a position. We
deny that any nation ought to be subjected to poli-
tical slavery against its own will, and by the inter-
vention of foreign powers. We deny that any
Emperor has a right to say to any nation—You shall
not change your ruler, however much you detest him.
France has done that often enough, in all conscience ;
and what right has she to tell the miserable Romans
that they shall have no other Sovereign than their
bishop—a bishop, too, elected not by themselves„
but by a set of men having the least conceivable
title of any to elect for the rest. Englishmen, and
Irishmen too, surely know all this ; and when a sot
of ecclesiastics here put forth documents wailing
and crying about the temporal rule of the POPE
and groaning because the Italians long to be de-)
livered from it—is it not time for laymen to tell
bishops, priests, and fathers to mind their
prayers—to leave the oppressed to get their liberty
if they can—nay, rather to tell the HOLY FATHER.
in plain terms, that he would be holier in their
eyes if he did not defile his hands with temporal
power, and with shedding blood to retain it.
If our Catholic fellow-countrymen are so priest-
ridden as to sit down quietly by the disgrace
fastened on them by their spiritual advisers, we
can only say we are sorry for it. We wish to
think better of them. We wish to believe that
they prize their British liberties so much that they
would not endure without insurrection a grinding
ecclesiastical despotism in temporal things. If they
would not, then let them memorialise the Emperor
of the FRENCH to withdraw his troops, to forbid
any other intervention, and leave the Romans to
settle accounts with their Bishop despot. Un-
bubtedly they would soon relieve him of the
duties of despotism, when ho would as un-
doubtedly attend better to those of Bishop.
As certainly would his subjects unite with their
brother Italians, and expedite by many years the
only possible final solution of the Itali In question.

It is thought that the bottom of the vessel will not come
dry, and that it will be necessary to employ divers to re-
cover the valuables. The wool and other floating articles
are strewn about the coast in every direction.
SHIELDS, Oct. 27.—The Tyren, of this port, was run
down off Whitby, on the night of the 25th, by the Vic-

ing of the loss of the Sir Robert Peel, schooner, of this
port, near Portreath; crew drowned. The Pearl, of this
port, is ashore at St. Agnes; crew saved. Three St.
Ives coasters are just reported as lost—the Sultana and
Selina Drake, and another, name unknown. The Severn,
from Cardiff to Rouen, reported yesterday as wrecked on
Hoyle Bar, has completely broken up.

PROROGATION OF CONVOCATION (THIS DAY).—
This morning the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was
attended by Dr. Travers Twigs, the Vicar-General of the
Province, Mr. Hart Dyke, the Registrar, and several other
officials, proceeded to the Jerusalem Chamber, adjacent to
Westminster Abbey,for the purpose of proroguing the Con-
vocation of the prelates and clergy of the province of Can-
terbury. His grace, having taken his seat, directed Mr.
Dyke to read the schedule of prorogation, which announced
that the sitting of the Convocation would be deferred until
Friday, the 16th of December. None of the bishops or re-
presentatives of the clergy were present dtkring the cere-
mony, which lasted only a ftw minutes.
