    Record Of The Week. Iio.1ieaxd Colqmil. ...

    n « solution of continuity " the harvest would have been lost . The unfavourable state of the weather for the last week has done mischief in many localities , and its effects on the pofcatoe crop in particular have in many places bean very prejudicial . In America the esreal harvest has been abundant , as it also has in inanyoFthe . com producing countries of the Old World . ' . The American cotton crop -will , it is estimated , yield three-and-half millions of bales . The Social Science Oongre 33 commenced its stittmgs on Monday , whoii Lord Brougham delivered the opening address . We learn from tha Capo that Prince Alfred is making a progress there as signally attended with demonstrations of loyalty as those which in general have distinguished the reception of his brother in America . After visiting Natal he was to return to the Cape and lay the first stone of the Sailors' Home . A Mr . Samuel O . ven , who has been delivering open air lectures in Hyde-park on Sundays , in which the conduct of the Government is subjected to no very " indulgent criticism , has been charged before the magistrate of Marlborough-street with beggings on the ground that he haci received gratuities from the bystanders , and was discharged with the . caution that next tima he was found so doing he would be sentenced to the usual punishment . ¦ ' l At the opening of the Vernon-park at Stockpoi-fc , on Monday , sevora ^ people are reported to have been trampled on , or otherwise crushed to death , in the crowd . „ T . -, t- > l i i Vacancies iii the representation of Iloniton and Boston have been caused by the deaths of Mr . Locke and Mr . Ingrain . Mr . Malcom ha 3 been announced as the Conservative . candidate for the latter place , arid Mir . Moffat as the liberal candidate for the former . The result of the adjourned inquiry into the circumstances of the Stepney murder this-week , is that JGmrns was discharged , and Mallin 3 again Temanded until n . eis . t Tuesday . ¦

    ' JFOKEIGX . The fortifications of Graeta and Capua presented formidable difficulties to Garibaldi ' s extemporized army , without the necessary appendage of a regular seige train ; but ' 113 last week closed-. there were sanguine expectations that the garrison of Capua , at least , would capitulate without waiting to be captured . At Graeta , provisions were said to run scarce , so that the place could not , upon this statement , hold out long . Fro in these causes the hopes in favour of the liberating movement ran hi « h . ' ' It was even reported that the King of Naples had offered to unite the forces still under his standard with those of Garibaldi and join in attacking Vone . tia . ¦ - Lampriciero was still shut up in Ancona , but with the Sardinian army on the land side , and the Sardinian fleet time

    oommandin < r the sea , its fall was only regarded as a question of , probably but short . The alleged correspondence between . Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel , it was stated by the Turin journals * had been officially declared unanthehtic , at least as regards the form in which at was originally put . Tlio Marquis of Pallavicino ( the Spielberg prisoner ) had been appointed by the King pf' Sardinia to the commission requested by Garibaldi ; Safll ( the llornan triumvir ) had been appointed pro-dictator of Sicily by Garibaldi himself ; , and Mazzini had arrived lit Naples ; all of these circumstances tending to show that the really liberal cause was in the ascendant . A letter was addressed by Garibaldi tp the elfect that though the diotator was determined tp sacrifice all personal considerations on the altar of his country ' s welfare , he could never bo reconciled with those who" were capable of selling an Italian

    province ; expressions of very significant itnport , as the province indicated was evidently the one recently ceded to France . Garibaldi i « , it seems , oae of that school who deem that " right " and " expediency " are one , and that what is wrong can never be expedient . He had , however , wisely proclaimed the Sardinian constitution for Sjeily , though without specifying the period pf its taking effect , thus keeping on good terms with Victor Emmanuel , upon whom the movement does certainly at present , in a great measure , depend . Meanwhile the week opened with news which seemed to show that the power of France was alone interposed between Borne and immediate capture by the Sardinian army , tlio south-woatern , that is , the right wing of wluoh wag posted at . Narni and along the river Neri , whioh , at a place called Or to , falls into tho Tiber . On tlio other hand , the foroes still attached to the King of Naples wero allegod to bo so disposed as to present serious obstacles to Garibaldi , should ho march upon " tho Eternal , city . "' Tho Sardinian Government immediately ¦ determined to liberate all Frcnoh subjects taken oiMHonord in the recent battles , thus Bhowing ft decided feohng pt

    made prisoners . Early in the week , Garibaldi ' s envoy Pallaricini , had had an interview with tho King , of Sardinia . Adviqes from Turin iuform us , late in the week , that 5000 Sardinian troops wore upon-the eve of departure from ' Leghorn for Sicily , and that the absorption of the Neapolitan territories into , and their consolidation with , free and liberated Italy would immediately take place . The King of Sardinia was about to leave for Bologna , the neighbourhood adjacent- to the operations of his army . The report had gone aboi-oad that . Garibaldi ' s propositions conveyed by Pallavicini to Victor Eminanuel had been rojeet-ed by the latter . Italian affairs constituting , as thoy now-do , the engrossing topic of interest , there is but little to record IVom other quarters , at least in bulk , if not in significance . Th ^ " Warsaw Meeting ' is attended in some quarters with ominous forebodings . The x-elations of Russia and doubtfulIt

    France appear , in one view at least , to be somewhat . seems that Prince Gortschakoff had had a long conference with the French Ambassador , the Duke of Montebello , in . reference to tho geueral state of things in Europe and the affairs of Italy . The Prince after having expressed tho sincere desire of Russia to maintain friendly relations with France , said that the alliance between France and Sardinia encouraged the propagation of doctrines constituting a permanent . danger to the political equilibrium and the stability of thrones . Russia , ho said ,, would entirely fail in her mission were ahe not , in common with other States threatened , to raise her voice in defence of social order arid monarchical interests . The Prince added that this was the object of the approaching interview at . Warsaw . The Austrian view of things pervades thLfintimalion , which seems little short of a threat , and at first sight it would appear as if J . he Prince was sure that his expressions would be endorsed by the Warsaw meeting . to

    Lord John . Russell , however , is , according tojthe Gorman press , hays au interview with the Princo of Prussia , on the ( 3 th October , and this , coupled . with the almost unanimous confidence of the press in thatcountry * that the Prince will ' be true to ' liberal interests , seems to-afford some assurance that there will . be at least one dissentient from an absolutist programme at Warsaw . The meeting , it has been rumoured , will be put off from the 13 lh , ar . oi-iginally iixed , until the 20 th of the month . _ , , ¦ ,- ¦ ¦ -, i We learn that the naval . authorities at Toulon hare received orders to prepare a considerable number of transport vessels for the conveyance of troops . It was asserted that three steamers are expected at Malta with reinforcements from England . Whether the naval preparations at Toulon were intended for the conveyance of French rciiiforeeijaents to Civita Vecchia , or for the reconveyance of French troops in Italy to Francewas a . problem which gave rise to some discussion .

    , The electric . sympathy-has spread to Greece , where it is manifesting itself in the expression of a strong feeling adverse to the great type of absolutism among the Western powers , and favourable to the liberal movement , ' and its supposed . countenance * if not : supporter . Letters received from Athens state that a demonstration on the part of the students had taken place 'before the King ' s Palace , amid shouts of " Down with King Otho ! " " Down with Austria ! " Sonic cries pf " Napoleon for ever ! " were also heard . With " reference to Austria , the state of her finances seem to be such as to render the phrase " national bankruptcy " the most appropriately descriptive of her present cpnditiph . .
