SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1860.  NEWS OF THE DAY.  The House of Eords sat ter two or three hods liiSt night. The Lord Chancellor gave a resume of the labours of their lordships in the path of law reform, in which ho expressed his regret that so little advance had been made, notwithstanding the number of measuers which had beenintroduced with that object. In the House of Commons Lord Palmerston stated) in ansWer to Mr. lintt, that tia Austrian dovezurnent was steadfastly adhering to its resolution of non-interference in the Araks of Italy; and he added; that the reports of a contrary tendency, which had been circulated of late, were without foUndation. Its lordship after Wat-ls replied to several questions as to Savoy and Nice, Syria, Egypt, and Persia, and to the progress .of Garibaldi, who, remarked, he could not hope for success at Naples by his own force, without the assistance of the people.  . The !Act 4 a 'general of the Neapolitans, in the province of Basilicata is confirmed. The Royal Intendant of Potenza has placed himself at the head of the insurrection, and the Garibildiaus, in their attack on Reggio, were assisted by .a body. of 4,090, dalabrians, who had been got together by Garibaldi's lieutenants. Notwithstanding all the preparations and nieans of defenc,e which are being resorted to at Naples by the miserable young Monarch, it is not to be supposed that Garibaldi and his followers will encounter any really formidable resistazce. The chiefs of the National Guard of Naples have tendered their resignation, on account of the foreign battalion not hating been disbanded—a mere pretext, for ivhich National Guards, on such occasions, ate seldom at a loss—and we are assured that the Government is so afraid to trust its navy out of sight that" foreign shipping hive been - chattered to watch the coast. The order of the Ainister of War, in which, in alluding to the unsuccessful attempt to cut out the Monarea, he expresses his thanks to the army, navy, and National Guard, seems, so far as the latter of the two services, at all events, are concerned, to have produced no effect. The capture of Fort Scylla, opposite the Fato Point, is reported, and thiS posititn completes for Garibaldi the command of the Straits, which his remaining forces may now cross at perfect pleasure. The rocky stronghold was held by an English garrison in 1.8;08, but a French assault dislodged the then 'protectors of Sicily, and King Joachin Murat reigned 'over the Calabrian in his generation fcr a brief interval. . .  . W are now told that the discovery of a conspiracy organised between the Count d'Aquila and the 4fa:zinian ComitatO, for effecting a coup d'etat in n. . his oa favour, of whiCh we have reccivod a minute and account, Twas the cause of the Counts sudden dismissal from Naples. .The objects of this Pi.ject were to be accompliihed'as follows :—lt was aired that at the cry of "Viva la Reinibliea," the creatures ,f the Prince were to throw themselves on.the military,- or n any other way create a disturbance; the:lting was to hve been set aside—some say murdered; the: Prince w:aAto have been declared Regent, and universal suffrage. invoked as the wish of the Emperor of the French, n order, to decide on the future fortunes of the county. It was ascertained that. the Count had enlisted a number of men in his service at, some say, a piaire 'a day, and there are those who affirm that tby themselves were tampered with by the Prince, ad refused hie offers. Caps and uniforms of the fash)n worn by the National Guard were also. brought ito Naples, and a great quantity of arms. The.men werAo be armed with a revolver and a dagger, and to be rek
