ITALY

Accounts from Rome state that the attempt at the
assassination of NARDONI was a got-up affair, con-
cocted by the worthy chief of the police himself, who
it appears did not receive a scratch. There was in
the time of GREGORY XVI. a certain NARDoNI who
had been condemned for theft, and who occupied the
aptotsetmopfts chida at assassination,
of
who was noted for getting up
in order, in conjunction
with the pretended assassin, to denounce and arrest
those who were obnoxious to his employers.
Accounts from Naples state that the Neapolitan
Government has admitted in principle the English
claimi made by Lord PALMERSTON, and the amount
alone now remains to be settled.

The Opinione, of Turin, of the 31st ult., publishes
the sentence pronounced by the Court of Appeal of
Sassari against Archbishop VARESUcI. It is as fol-
lows :

" Monsignor the Commander Alexander Dominic
Varesini, Archbishop of Sassari, born at Casal Carmelli,
in the province of Alexandria, 52 years of age, confined
in his archiepiscopal palace since the 31st of May last,
is accused or having, by his circular of the 6th of that
month, forwarded to the parish priests of the town and
addressed to all the clergy of his diocese, openly
preached the violation of the law of the 9th of April
last; and thus excited the contempt and discontent of
the clergy towards the Government. The Court of Ap-
peal, sitting in that town, has declared, and hereby de-
clares, the Archbishop Alexander Dominic Varesini
convicted of the charge directed against him, and con-
demns him to one mouth's imprisonment from the date
of his confinement, and to the costs; but, as he has al-
ready undergone the penalty, the Court orders him to
be set at liberty."

LAMBETH ELECTION-THIS DAY
STATE OF THE POLL.

The returning officer for the borough having appointed
eight o'clock this morning for the commencement of the

all the candidates to bring their supporters to the poll,
but it was quite apparent to all after the first hour's
polling that Mr. Williams was the most likely candidate
to obtain the vacant seat.

The following is the state of the poll as far as we
could ascertain it:—

Ora-narlc TEIEATRE.—Last night the celebrated
butTo dancer, Mr. Flextuore, commenced a short engagement
at this theatre, making his first appearance as Scgratnouch,
in the pantomime of Dim 7uan. Mr. Flcxmore met with an
in a continued roar of laughter throughout the enthusiastic reception,

CREMORNS GARDENS —The unceasing efforts of
the spirited proprietor of this delightful suburban place of
recreation still continue to attract thousands of our light•
hearted and mirth-loving fellow-citizens to its palatial
hostelry and Elysian bowers. Last night a new Italian
comic pantomime, entitled The Origin of Harlequin, was pro-
duced, under the direction of that clever pantomimic artiste
Herr Deulin; and, fearless of contradiction, do we assert that,
with the exception of the metropolitan patent theatres, we
have seldom witnessed a production so complete in its en-
semble, or one which reflects more credit on the management
and the talented corps pantomimique who so efficiently con-
tributed to its success. Herr Deulin as Arlechino, and Ma-
dame Theodore as Columbine, elicited most deserved and
rapturous applause from a densely crowded sale. Nar can
we omit a word of commenda, ion on the humorous agility
thrown into the character of Pierrot by Mr. Seymour. In
fact, individual praise would be invidious where each and all
so fairly merited their meed of applause. On to-morrow
evening we perceive, by the bills, that that dauntless aerial
voyageuse Mrs. Graham ascends in a balloon from the gar-
dens, accompanied by a number of fair companions. Of a
verity Mr. Simpson labours bard in his vocation to obtain
that success which, though he cannot command, he most
undoubtedly deserves. .

ARE VICEROY STEAMER.—A private letter in the
Nah Scotian states that the Viceroy steam-vessel will be
got off, owing to the exertions of her crew, aided by the
crews of her Majesty's steamer Columbia, and the Plumper
sloop, Commander M. Nolloth, sent by the admiral to assist
in floating her. The Viceroy is bilged under the engine-
room, a large hole being knocked in her bottom. About GOO
casks have been procured, aad have been applied for the
purpose of floating her.
BANQUET IN YORK. TO THE LORD MAYOR 01
LONDON.—Tha banquet intended to be given at York to the
Lord Mayor of London is to take place on Friday, the 25th
of October, this day having been named by his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, who has graciously signified his intention
to take part in the entertainment. The Lord Mayor of York,
and 104 of the mayors of the principal boroughs in the
United Kingdom, will on this occasion make a return to the
splendid hospitality shown thaw at the Mansion-house, and
the committee which has been appointed from the number to
carry out the necessary arrangements will invite the Royal
Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851, the Executive
Committee, and secretaries, with "such other noblemen and
gentlemen as they may think most. interested in the objects
of the meeting." Each mayor is invited to appear at the
banquet in his robes of office, and is further requested to
procure a banner, with his own arms, or the arms of his city
or borough, delineited thereon, for the purpose of decorating
the Guildhall of York, which is to be the scene of the enter-
tainment.

To give your opinion, before required, looks like
upbraiding another's ignorance, or overvaluing your own

THE HIGHLANDS.--EARLY HARVEST.—Sbearing
commenoeu this day (Monday, •29th ult.) on a splendid field
of barley, on Castle Alerlzies lawn. Only about two bushels
per acre were Sown; Still it is of great height and thickness.
fhc rich state of the soil caused titlering to a great extent,
from thirty to forty stalks from one grain being quite com-
mon. The long continuation of dry weather is telling sadly
on pastures on twin soil, and even on white crops on gra-
velly bottom. Hay is a short crop generally. Straw will
not nearly average Last year's. Potatoes looking most pro-
ni"ing--ilowering beautifully. Turnips are reviving, and

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Cotton Marlc,t at Liverpoul yesterday was firm
at previous rates, the sales being estimated at 10,000
boles, of which 1,000 American and 500 Brazil were
t►keu for export, and 3,000 American and 500 Surat on
speculation.—ln Railway Shan s a fair businees was done
at advanced rates.

The markets for produce are tolerably eteady, and the
col-own:pawl generally is good. Tea and cotton are still
the favourite articles.

It is useful to remind those who deny the potency of
English example, that in the matter of tariffs foreign
countries have really been imitating us to a greater ex-
tent than might be supposed by the opponents of a
liberal commercial policy. Denmark within three years
hal abolished its cure-laws and lowered the duties on
coals and woollen manufactures; Belgium made many
concessions to foreign traders, both in reference to cus-
toms and navigation in the year 1848, and in the subse-
quent year ex tensivfly modified the impost upon exports;
France has loss end the scale of duties on sago, plate glass,
salt, narikeens, Ste.; Holland made changes in 1846, and
is now considering the expediency of improving its
navigation code; the German Union is deliberating still
upon the new scale of duties; Spain made a sweeping
alteration last 3 ear; and Sardinia, Tuscany, and Purnai
have each lowered their duties, principally on ertieles
of food. All our Colonial possessions are approximating
to the free-trade principle, and the United States, in
the face of considerable opposition, has maintained its
liberal tariff of 1846. We will venture to predict that
the Continental States will be greatly encouraged to
follow our policy, when they bear of such flourishing
revenue arid Board of Trade returns as have lately
been given in The Sun.

A Toronto journalist alluding to the loan for Canada
recently contracted, observes t—" Atter all there is not
much cause for boasting at the vaunted success of the
Inspector-General in negotiating the last three loans
f 516,500 L It was surely no very great stroke of
financial success to effect a par loan of half a million at
six per cent., with cLarges for brokerage and com-
mission one and a qaarter per cent., figuring
up the whole cost to seven and a quarter
per cent., at a time when the regular rate of
interest was not three per cent., although it was
not to be expected that a colony could enter the English
Money Market on an equal footing with other national
borrowers, though many of their Governments are rotten
to the core." Triere is, unfortunately, too much truth
in the concluding little bit of sarcasm. Insolvent conti-
nental states are preferred to sound but unobtrusive
colonial borrowers.
