estimate of the liabilities growing ou t of the esta-
blishment of the Emporioliano I nstitution.
Already it is observable that ti: is singularly
attractive design has enlist3d the sympathies cf
the Italians themselves, and elici to from the
leading portions of the Italian Pross the very
strongest expressions of encourage taunt. It has
been commended very earnestly, f( it example, by
the Spettatore of Florence, by t I 1) Gazetta of
Milan, by the Corriere published at Vienna, by
the Risorgimento of Turin, by the Pirata of
Genoa, by the Giornale of Bologna and the
Giornale of Mantua, by the Gazetta: of Trieste and
the Gazetta of Venice, by the Trieste Osservatere,
and the Turin Giornale delle Arti e delle Industrie.
It commands hardly less urgently the sympathy
of the British than of the Italian newspapers—
the encouragement of the organs of public opinion
in England than that of the journals printed and
circulated in the chief cities of the Roman Penin-
sula. It has ours already, at any rate, frankly
and cordially—The fun hesitating not to ac-
cord to this beneficent scheme of the Imperio Ita-
lian° the homage of its frank sympathy and the
aid of its cordial encouragement. We shall watch
the development of the design with an interest
not less than that of earnest solicitude. May it,
if once set energetically afoot, do good service in
RI own good way and in its own good time, in the
pacific and beneficent advance of the interests it is
intended to forward—those, as we have said and
seen, of the great cause of Italian Regeneration !

A Prospectus recently issued by the Harwich
and Continental Royal Mail Steam-Packet Com-
pany—a newly organised Company, proposing to
establish a regular periodical mail-steam-packet
service between the former port and Rotterdam
—gives very large and very reasonable promise,
we cannot but think, not merely of considerable
...advantages to its own shareholdeis, but of others
accruing from it to every one having capitil
already embarked either in the Eastern Counties
or in the Dutch Rhenish Railways. A very
rational and obvious deduction, this—as any one
may recognise upon the merest glance at the web-
work of railroads branching off from either ex-
tremity of the newly-projected route across the
Channel. The Eastern Counties Railway con-
ducting the traffic front Harwich to Colchester,
and thence onwards—north, south, east, west—
along the various lines in England, to London,
Southampton, Exeter, Birmingham, Liverpool,
York, Manchester, ctc. ! The Dutch Rhenish
Railways, starting from Rotterdam and the
Hague, penetrating through the Neiherlands
to the extremities of Hanover, Holstein,
and Westphalia, and so onwards, in like
manner, and upon a yet ampler scale—.
north, south, east, west—to all parts of the Eu-
ropean Continent. Downwards to Cologne, to
Wiesbaden, to Frankfort, to Darmstadt. Up-
wards to Harlingen, to Emden, to Cuxhaven, to
Lubeck, to Kiel ! Although the shares of the
new company have been fixed at 101. each,
it is anticipated by the Directors that no imme-
diate call will be requisite beyond 51. at the
utmost. Already we are in no way surprised
to see enrolled among the list of subscribers an
important and, comparatively speaking, remote
body like the Liverpool Commissaries. The
auspicious character of the proposed mail steam-
packet service across the channel, between Har-
wich and Rotterdam, being sufficiently obvious at
the first instant, to the enterprising men of Lanca-
shire. As, we conjecture, it must infallibly prove
elsewhere, in our own country, and in most of
the northern countries of Earope, approached
from England through the Netherlands.

F6NERIL OF BARON ALDERSON.—The remains of

Suffolk (his lo'rth id tee), on Tuesday morning. Great
numbers of people were assembled in St. Mary Magda-

service in the church of which he laid the first stone.
The body was met at the door by the Revs. E. Stuart,
incumbent of St. Mary's; W. U. Richards, incumbent
of All Saint's, Margaret-street ; and J. Murray, incumbent
of St. Andrew's, Wells-street. The coffin was r heed on
the floor of the nave, and three candles were burning on
each side of it. The pall was of blue velvet with a yel-
low fringe, and a cross worked on it of red velvet. The
39th Psalm was sung to a Gregorian chant, and the
lesson (1 Cor. xv.) real by Mr. Murray. The Holy
Communion was then celebrated, the sons and daughters
of the deceased baron, his nephew, Mr. Drew ; his son-
in-law, Mr. W. C. Cocks and other mourners ; and Mr.
Justice Coleridge, Mr, J. D. Coleridge, Mr. A. D. Cole-
ridge, the Rev. W. H, Milman, and one or two other
friends of the family, being the communiants.
BUSH IDE AND KARACX —A French paper says :
"Bushire, which has just been captured by the English,
is situated in Fars or Farsistan, the province of Persia
known by the ancients as Persis. The name of the town ,
is really Bender Abouschehr. It is situated on a tongue
of land once covered by the waters of the gulf, and is
defended on the land side by a high wall flanked with
towers,. constructed at unequal distances. This port,
which is the most important of Persia, manifests none of
the activity that characterises European maritime towns.
The majority of the vessels which navigate the Persian
Gulf touch at Bushire and Basra, in order to land or
take in goods. This trade does not, however, give em-
ployment to more than eight vessels under the English
flag and six under the colours of the Imaum of Muscat.
These vessels form a tonnage of about 4,500 tons. The
town of Bushire contains about 400 houses, besides a great
number of huts constructed of palm timber, erected outside
the walls. The number of inhabitants, stated by some
travellers to amount to 20 000 has been considerably
reduced by Plague, choler
which Farsst In has been the theatre, and at present
does not probably surpass 6,000 souls. Bushire
tains seven mosques, four of which belong to the Similes
'a
i and numerous wars, of
and three to the Sunnites, also two baths and two
caravanserais. The English factory is situated about
two miles from the town. Karack or Kharedj, thie
island now occupied by the English, contains an exec
lent port, good wells of fresh water, and is capaile of
being strongly fortified. In a commercial, and
military point of view, Karack is of high inopavanee.
Up to the present moment this island hai been known
only for its lucrative pearl-fisheries. The most valu-
able
in ; the
pearls are despatched to Europe by
Bagdad -
inferior ones are employed by the Persiansthe
,deco-
ration of their pipes, harness, and pocket mirrors,'
