      niade to the Rochdale movement , some account of which _ was given in No ; 31 of this paper . Resolutions were passed for forming a branch of the National Industrial and Provident Society , and appointing a , committee to carry the object of the meeting irito eifect . Another , frightful murder came to lig ht at the close of the -week . 3 VIts . Mary Emsley , a widow lady , residing in seclusion at-Grove-road , Stepney * was found murdered , in a most mysterious manner ; but the circumstances seemed to denote that robbery was the object of the perpetrator or perpetrators . The inquest was opened on Monday , and adjourned till that day next week . A letter from Mr . Cobden has appeared , in which he speaks m the highest terms of the candour and straightforwardness evinced by the French Government in the negotiations respecting the treaty . _ The Prince of Wales has been continuing his tour . He left Frederickton on the 7 th , and was to beat Gaspe on the 12 th , and Quebec oh the 17 th instant . The Duke of Newcastle had recovered from his indisposition . _ . The public health was less good by 30 last week , the deaths having increased , from 999 the week before , to 1 , 029 ; but this latter number v is less bv 171 than the computed average of the last ten years . The Jury empannelled to- investigate the causes of the Dover catastrophe have found that "the deaths of Lieutenant G-corgo Thompson and Sergeant John Monger were caused by the bursting of a gun ; " and that " the aforesaid accident was accelerated by the lon » - use of the gun , and from the metal not being of a quality suitable for ° the casting of guns for artillery practice , " and express their " unanimous opinion a periodical inspection of all guns in forts should take place . " . ' _ ,,. , ' , ci . Another horrible murder has been committed- Elizabeth Slater , a child , ao-ed eleven , was found dead , in the Queen's Park , Edinburgh , near the Puke's-walk , on Sunday , her clothes being m a disordered state , and her body fearfully disfigured . . Geor * e Cass has been executed at Carlisle ( on Tuesday ) , ior the murder of Ann Sewell , at Embleton , after making another confession ., somewhat different from the former . ' ..,... Mr . Oawshay , Mayor of Newcastle-upon-Tyne , has failed in his attempt to put the Enlistment Act in force against the Publisher and Editor of the Iseivcastle Chronicle for its articles in favour of Captain Styles' niissibn to Englandj with the Tiew of organizing a battalion for Garibaldi . ,- , _ _ , It will he seen by our Parliamentary Intelligence that the Metropolis Local Management Act Amendment Bill , which has occupied so much attention among the members of " Parochial Parliaments" lately , has been withdrawn . ¦ '"" ,.. . T / '' -ir > .-Thomas Winslow , tried for poisoning Mrs . Ann James ( with antimony ) has been acquitted , but appears to have been taken in custody again on another charge of poisoning , it being stated that three other members of his family have been poisoned with antimony within the Pa There has been a « row" at the Agapemone , On Tuesday between 30 and 40 people , headed by the Rev . Mr . Price , laid siege to the place , and effected a breach in the gates , but were confronted by the Princeites , who had provided themselves with fire-arms . The object , which was the delivery of Mrs . Price from captivity , ended m failure . Mr . Henry 'William Tancred , late member for Banbury , died on Monday evening , at Cliffe-terrace , Margate . . On Thursday afternoon a public meeting was held at the lionclon Tavern , in aid of a fund for Garibaldi ; Mr . Ross in the chair , lhe Chairman , in opening the proceedings , read letters of apology for nonattendane ^ roin ^ ii-James ^ Dwk ^^ proceeded to state that they wanted the brave Garibaldi to know that England sympathised with the cause of Italian freedom , and was willing to assist that cause . An appeal had been made to Englishmen for help , and we should be base if we did not respond to it . . Our Government was pledged to non-intervention , therefore we should not let other foreign natipns interfere , but say to Austria , "Hands off Italy , After addresses from various speakers , resolutions were carried with great cheering , to the effect that It was necessary for the prosperity of Italy and the peaco of Europe that the people of Italy should bo emancipated from the galling tyranny of the Bourbon rule . A committee having been appointed to carry out the object ot the meeting the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to tho chairman . FOREIGN . The Porte , in the long-oxpeotod answer to the Servian deputation , , asserts his claims as to the preservation of his full Suzorum rights . Thus the establishment of an hereditary dynasty m Seryia isi disapproved of on the part of the Sultan , who only concedes lnnco Michael ' s individual succession to his fathor on the death ot tho 1 alter . The prohibition of theresidonoo of Mahometans in Servia , boyond the pale of tho Belgrade fortress , is-to bo maintained . The Sorvums arc not to be at liberty to frame a now constitution for themselves , though the Sultan is willing to send commissioners to inquire into the grievances complained of . ' , ¦ In Italy , last week cloBed and tho present oponcd with ono ol those breathless pausoB which , in the very heig ht , and fury of the storm , are more appalling thun tho direst eonlliot of clomontal utn o , Garibaldi ' a mysterious withdrawal from tho soo . io of action , leuvmg tho command in tho hands of ono of his most trusted chief * , wuu interpreted to mean that a sudden and decisive blow would bo struck with irresistible . effect in nnoihor quarter . At this crisis appeared M . - :-Grttnaguinot ' i"l 6 ttoriirthO -Cffn ^^ Wpnn efrdotrlnnMg-thnfr ^ -Ataiy-wHlrin two months , bo either comijlulely iVoo and iudopimucut , or Austria will again rulo , and this tiino irom- Meashm to Turin . " Tho earliest ¦ intelligence of the week wiia to tho eil'uct that tliu Count and Oountoss Aquiltt luul arrived at Muroeillua , o : i bourtl a hnmUmx corvotto , escorted by a Xoapolitun steamer , on their way to Pan * urn London Ono thousand live hundred .

Tho preparation * fiu- the < leloneo o * anlo * v-ero continued ; and now * from that oily , amwd that Colonel G \« e » ii ., with four thousand volunteers , had quitted Taornnnn , and taken the direction of tho main lonrt .

      ¦ "The- - National Hungarian fete passed off in perfect order , in con * sequence of the judicious measures taken by General Benedek to ensure trunquillitv . The town of Pesth was quiet throughout , the municipality having made excellent / arrangements for ¦ preventing any . disturbance . ¦ " . . The Great Powers , in conformity with the wish ot the British Cabinet , had agreed to discontinue all further liegoliaUviis for including Spain in their number . . The motive for the assassination of Prince Daniclo is said to be found in his opposition to the war party , which desires the complete index iendenee of Montenegro . _ . . It appears as if the murder epidemic is not confined , to the British Isles . At the Court of Assizes of the Aisne , a whole family of four persons , father , mother , son , aged 3 S , and daughter , 25 , resident at the village of Prouvais , have been charged with , and all but the father convicted of , four cases of child murder ; the victims being the-.-offspring of the son and daughter , whose intimacy appears to have been known to their parents . The brother and sister were condemned to death , and the mother to hard labour for life . A serious outbreak on the part of the negroes appears to have taken place in the Guano Islands of Sombrero , causing great excitement among the merchants trading there . Apropos of the intended meeting of the French Emperor and the Bey of Tunis , at Algiers , the Jfomire , a French man-of-war , proceeds to Tunis , there to be placed at tho service of the Boy , who is believed to have strong tendencies for cultivating more intimate relations with European states . ^ ^ Three thousand soldiers , lato indie service of tho , Dukc of lioder . a , are stated to have entered the army of the Pope , giving rite to disturbances , which , however , have been siippreasod . JfCff 3 from Naples has been received that two . companies of dragoons , and a number of artillerymen have joined the insurgents at Foggia . A brig from Malta , with arms and ammunition , having been fifed upon off tliepalabrian coast , stranded , and \ va 3 taken by tho Neapolitans . The long-expected blow hi Italy has 'been struck . Garibaldi lias mafl ^ a swoop upon Sicily . News comes fron-i Naples , under date of August 21 st , that 13 U vessels had lauded Garibaldi and his army at Bagnara , a few miles north of the fort of Sibylla , and within easy rt-ai-h of ' Faro , oil the Sicilian coast . Detachments had been previously disembarked at various points , and thus the insurgents , wlio johicd Garibaldi ' s standard , have placed a force at his command enabling him to attack Reggio , the head-quarters of the Neapolitan army . A Provisional Government has been established at Potenza . The telegraph wires between Palmi and Reggio had been cut . There is no doubt that if Garibaldi have fair play the more favourable of the alternatives indicated in M , Grandguillot ' s letter recorded above , will soon be realized . ' . We cannot refrain from . expressing a fervent wish that the only free countries ' .. . in the world , England and America ( whose interests and ¦ "" plsitfoi'iu'' are in essence identical , whatever variances there niav be in matter . s of form ) , witl , if necessary , coiiibiiie , not , indeed , to interfere , but to prevent the totteriuy despotisms of the Oontinent from interfering . News has subsequently arrived that Reggio has fallen . . \ ¦ , , Full particulars of the Syrian massacres have arrived , and humanity revolts , while credibility is severely tested by the harroSvinjr and sickening details . A sad and severe moral is taught , by the . sanguunivy narrative of tins foul work : —The dLMiioniaeal excesses which « l « : iys and everywhere have been ¦ th e fatal results of supcrst it ion and sectnriimibiii . True , thai , these arc but the inevitable and invariable concomilants . of u certain layy state of moral and intellectual development ; but this fact only renders more apparent the necessity , . ' of ' ' eradu-uting the causes of the mischief . Do away with superstition and gecturiunism in all their forms , and : under every disguise , and the beneficent element of humanity remains , purged of bigotry and intolerance . # : ¦ The American papers just come to hand contain sensation nrliclcs and " scroamers , " about tho Groat Eastern ' : slwun-shij ) . \ Ve give " tlic * quhituplicMito heading of ono in live different . - -sizes of type :-- " riuUViin / rs at Sea—Tho Excursion ot tho Great Eastern—Fprtiinuits' csi-apo of all on board—Tho Extremity of .
