Turning from the disr-onsolute clipmpton of Papacy, we liavemncli pleasure in recognizing tlio truth and justice of tlie remarks ot Mr Kinnaird and Mr Kinglake on Friday night, receiving, as they do, confirmation Irom the assent or silence of Lord Pal triers ton. Ilis quite true that the annexation of Savoy has been very dearly purchased hy thc French Government. AVe are told this trilling accession of territory may bo regarded with much favor by a nation which no amount of misery or slaughter seems able to cure of the fatal lust for territorial aggrandizement. Tlie emperor may by talving Savoy and Nice have seated himself more firmly on the throne. That is quite possible. But beyond the frontier thc feeling that has been created is coldly rendered by the cautious and diplomatic term of " distrust." The feeling is somewhat far more active and energetic than distrust. It is the desire for mutual support, and assistance; it has breathed life and some sort of energy into the torpid and disunited frame of Germany. It litis taught Austria more powerfully than the carnage of Solferino that sho can only exist by modifying her system of stupid and objectless repression. It has convoked a Council of tho Empire, which may, perhaps, bc tlie faint and doubtful dawn of a better and brighter day. It has roused Prussia to the defects of her military system, and taught her to consider how she is to meet tlie Zouaves with a force little superior to ordinary Militia. It has drawn Austria and Prussia together- It lias excited the patriotic feelings of Belgium and the energetic protest of Switzerland. And in England it has done much to dissipate thc dream ofa cordial alliance, to which we have clung so iondly and so pcrseveringly, and set us seriously to work, as Mr Kinglake truly remarks, to prepare for all tho worst evils of war. These things the annexation ot Savoy has done, ll any one wishes to measure the amount ofthe change, let him compare the speech of Lord Palmerston on Friday evening with his former speeches when any attempt to inspire distrust of the Emperor of the French. Perhaps when those matters begin to be better understood in Prance the nation ma}' see how high a price must be paid for these territorial [acquisitions, and how impossible it is to combine at the same time the security and regard [of neighboring States which wait upon a peaceful and honorable policy with the gratification or" those empty dreams of ambition jw'iich the disasters and miseries of the First (Empire seemed for a time to have eradicated, [but which the false policy of Louis Philippe and the aggressive attitude of thc present [Government of France havo only too fully ■revived. JLATEST EUROPEAN AND FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. From St. Louis elates of the 5th October we have the |fu! In wing : The steamship City of Baltimore arrived on the 27th. The Gnribnldians had concentrated on the heights of 'alhento, and were preparing to uttiiek the Neapolitans. Thc Sardinians hud bombarded Ancona for nine munis without effect. The reply wns vigorous. The •announdo at land and sea continued ut intervals until iie last moment. The Suriliiiiaiis tire continuing to march on the Pupal States. The fortress of Santo Leo surrendcrd to them er some hours lighting. The Sardinians occupied the urtrcsi* of Castellan. Garibaldi hud met with some reverses near Capua, lie issued a fresh proclamation, and Bays he will join Bic Sardinian troops and begin his march against fenice. The antagonism between Garibaldi and Cavour's piinislry continues. Victor l.niiuiuul has determined to go to Naples for a (lersonnl interview with Garibaldi. The King of Nil],les is supposed to be still at Cupan. The official journal of Rome contains Cardinal Auto- clli's note, claiming assistance from the Catholic powers. Cardinal Sforza hns been expelled from Naples. The Sardinian Ambassador bus unit Paris. cheat mtiT.us. Queen Victoria embarked for Prussia on thc 23rd, ac- lorapanied by Lord John Russell. A S'Virc storm, causing many shipwrecks, has vis- |teil the coast of England. THU I'lllXCF. op wales. The Prince of Wales arrived at Harrlsburg from Pittsburgh on the night of the 2d, An immense con- •oiir,i-of people surrounded him.

At con the President gave a reception in honor of the 'rinec ; the President stoou on the right and Lord Lyoi S a the left of tbo Prince. The reception lasted but "if ,ui hour. -» * ♦- boss op Life on Mont Blanc—Three English tra- ■ellers who persisted in ascending Mont Blanc on the ■Mi. of August, during a snow storm, in spite oftho hnniislranees of their guides, slid from a precipice jliile descending the mountain, and were killed. They ■ml tied themselves together with a rope tor safety, at Thstnnce of thoir guides, three in number, each of iioin had hold of it to assist them on their way. One ftlic guides fell over the precipice with them nnd was (so killed. The parly was excessively fatigued and pi' path deeply covered with snow. | In five years thc public debt of Franco hns increased j>oyo §500,000,000. This is considered alarming by P'liK-inl men in Europe. The English Cotton Trade.—This last year liritish India sent near 600,000 bales of cotton to England, and that, too, when the country was disturbed by war, and after supplying more than thc usual demand of China. Since the close of the war, the liritish Government has completed the connection of 2,SOU miles of railroad in India, much of which is devoted to the development of a cotton country, und these efforts are aided by a greater inclination of the natives to cultivate this staple, instead of indigo and opium. From the Brazils the export to the Englisll market was about 125,000 bales, but .is that country is under the stimulus of English railroad capital, the increase of that crop is certain. From Egypt the r .celptS were about equal to that from Brazil. The crop of .Sierra Leone has increased 1,000 per cent, in seven years, the next four doublings of the African crop will make it a feature in the Liverpool market. From all these sources the supply last year was equal to about _!_) per cent, of that supplied by the Southern States to the English market, und nearly equal to the smount consumed by ull the factories in the United States.

Thero are thousands of acres of this burned land with scarcely sufficient timber to construct fences, and an ordinary man could clear an acre per week with the utmost ease. It is difficult to estimate tho extent cf this cleared portion, but irom various approximations made by parties acquainted with thc country, it appears to bo about sixteen miles long and from five to seven miles wide- The whole range of the inlet and tho mountains beyond can be seen from the great clearing.

Capt. Kino and Ji-stice Pkmbeiitox.—On Monday- last the case of Langford r. Cary came off in the Police Court of Victoria. The substance of the action was a charge against Mr. Cary for "obtaining money under false pretences," in his defence of the libel case of Langford t\ King, which was decided several months ago. A great deal of irrelevant nud frivolous matter was allowed to bc brought into thc proceedings before Court which caused much angry feeling and personal altercation. The magistrate decided that the action was frivolous and entirely devoid of foundation; but before the decision bad been given thc "lie" had passed between thc complainant and defendant, and language was permitted to bc used which would have disgraced the rowdiest Court in California previous to the days of thc Vigilance Committee. When thc Court was about rising two gentlemen, no doubt under the excitement of the proceedings, and in all probability to a certain degree influenced by the latitude given to the prosecutor and defendant, called each other liars—a blow was struck, and Capt. King was arrested for contempt of Court,—the gentleman who gave the provocation, Mr. Alston,—by first calling Capt. King a liar was allowed to march ont of the Court with impunity, while tbe latter for r.so, ting the insult on the spot was obliged to give Imports.—The total value of tic imports into Rritish Columbia during the quarter eutling 30th of September, 1860, was §.117,328 08.

Thc following items are furnished to us by Mr. Ballon:— Drowned.—A man named..uthur Buic was drowned on Monday last at the Grand 'alls in the Little Kanyon. His party were engaged in hailing a canoe on ways, when the unfortunate man sliped and fell into thc river. The body had not b.en fond when the Moody lett Yale. In this country, the forest, interposes a terrible obstacle to thc tracing of roads—ordinary reconnoissanco from eminences is an impossibility—for, let the altitude bc ever so great, pines 200 feet in height arc there around almost defying the ascent ofa cat much less ofa man. By the use of a small balloon and the adoption of simple precautions there would be. no great difficulty in rising some feet above, thc loftiest pin. or any one knoll and thence scanning 'he features ofthe ground for miles around.

A scnbeam, on a summer's day, Came dancing o'er the ocean spray. The ocean, on its heaving breast, Received the welcome, glittering guest. As they sailed away together, Scorning to think of wintry weather, The foaming wavelets, murmering there, Wcre but obi ocean's bridul prayer. And thus with life in early morn— Ere vows nre broke' or hearts are worn— Love's light gladden? hill and dale, Dispersing shadows on thc gale— Charming, by its radiant hue, The twilighthouror morning dew, Life's dark tints arc swept along By its laughing, glorious song ; All is but a stream of pleasure, Leading to enduring treasure. But summer's brightness cannot last, The wintry chill comes on so fast; And in lhe icy snow-drop's fall The sunbeam' hears its oyvn recall. Then dim old ocean's surging moan Bewails that he is left alone, So, when dull age, with leaden dart, Has struck the fickle- human heurt, How often one is left alone, To mov.rii youth's love-light turned to stone. MISCELLANEOUS. Steam on Common Roads.—The Banf Journal says: —'• The Eurl of Caithness, accompanied by the Countess and by the Rev. William Ross, ofKintore, started from Inverness in his steum-curriiigi', built under his own direction, nud though, owing to its being ninrket- duy there, the road wns filled with horses and conveyances of nil kinds, his Lordship passed through them nil without nny more inconvenience to the general traffic, or i,lurn, to horses, than if he hud been in bis enr- riagc-and-four. So perfectly hud he tin- whole moving power under his control that he stopped more quickly than nn ordinary carriage nnd horses could draw up. and this he did ns often ns he saw the least danger of any horse being frightened. He reached Bcauly, a distance of fourteen miles, in an hour an twenty minutes, notwithstanding the frequent stoppages, and fifteen minutes lost in getting water. ^tlvr leaving Beauly, on those parts oftho road where some distance forward can be seen, he attained the speed of eighteen miles an hour, nud could have kept this up for any distance with case and safety. Alter reaching Alness his Lordship turned to the left, und took the road direct for Btinar- bridge. Here the carriage hnd a severe test applied to it, but he drove it up the hill without difficulty, and coming down the very steep declivity near where the road joins the road from Tain, the control his Lordship had over it was most satisfactory, and enabled him to descend at any rate he wished, and witli perfect ease and safe'y. Leaving thc Inn at Ardgy, Lord Caithness then crossed Bonar-bridge, nnd drove on io Clashmore, after a very succesful drive of nearly seventy miles. The carriage was made by Mr. T. Rcckett, Castle Foundry, Buckingham, and is a beautiful piece of work." Thf. Highest Speed.—The highest speed ever attained by horse llesh wns four miles in eleven minutes. or at the rule of thirty-three miles an hour. The highest speed ofthe locomotive, well authenticated, was on one of the English lines, nt the rate of seveny-eight miles an hour. And it is snid that n Holyhead boat hns run twenty-six sintue miles no hour, ivhich equals the best time ever made on the North River. The Perils of Science.—Sonic years ago a large whale wns caught at the Nore. nnd towed up to London bridge, the Lord Mayor having claimed it. When it hnd been nl London-bridge some little time, the Government scut a notice to sny it belonged to them. Upon which tl e Lord Mayor sent answer, "Well, if the whale belongs to you, 1 order you to remove it immediately from London-bridge." The whale was, therefore, towed down the stream to the Isle of Dogs, below Greenwich. The lute Mr. Clil't, the energetic nnd talented assistant nf his great master, John Hunter, went down to see it. He found it on the shore, with its huge mouth propped open with poles. In his eagerness to examine the internal parts of the mouth. Mr. Clift stepped inside the mouth, between the lower jaws, where the tongue issit- unti'il. This tongue is a huge spongy mass, and being at that time exceedingly soft, from exposure to air, gave way like a boy ; nt the same time he slipped forward towards the whale's gullet, nearly as fur ns he could go. Poor Mr. Clift wns really in n dangerous predicament; he sunk lower and lower into the substance of the tongue nnd gullet, til! he nearly disappeared altogether. He wns short in stature, nnd in a few seconds would doubtless have lost his life in lhe horrible oily msss, had not assistance been quickly afforded him. It was with great difficulty that a boathook wns put in requisition, and ihe good little man hauled out of the whale's tongue.—Bnckland's Curiosities of Natural History. Mr. Couden's Opinion of American Newspapers.— The Boston Journal snys :—In a recent letter to a friend, Mr Cobden makes the following allusion to American Newspapers, which he is evidently not in 'ove with : "The paragraph you enclosed, giving a conversation of mine. is.one of those rascally nets of eavesdropping for which American ncwspiiner writers nre so notorious. There is a good deal of the paragraph which agrees with whnt I have thought ; but whether [ expressed it in private conversation is more than I could swenr to, us no one expects to be made responsible for private gossip. There ought to he the punishment of the pillory or the stocks revived for those who publish in newspapers the unguarded remarks which fall from a man in private conversation, when be frequently speaks merely to provoke a reply and keep people from getting to sleep over too serious nn interchange of views." Pairing-Time in the House of Commons.—Pairing time amongst the winged inhabitants of the nir is thc 14th of February, when "birds begin to mate;" but what, snys some country readers, is pairing-time in thc House of Common..? Well, pairing-time in lhe House is dinner-time; uml pairing means this:—On a great night it is never considered safe for a member to go away without pairing-off—that is to say, one man. tor a question, agrees with another, against it, that neither may vote until a certain time: and thus if a division happe is before they come buck neither party is weakened by their absence. This is what is meant by pairing; and, at the dinner-hour the whips on each side station themselves at the door to see that none of their friends go away without pairs, and for a time, the scene ul tlie door is n very lively one. The whips stand. generally, just outside the House, either in the inner or outer lobby; nnd each hns in his hand a little book in which ho enters the pairs. "Cm you get me a pair?" snys un honourable member to a whip. "How lonir for'.'" "Till ten." "Who wants a pair till ten?" shouts the whip. "I do," is the answer fron some other member. "Oh, Brown, here's Jackson wants a pair • and so you enn pair with him." Whereupon Jackson and Brown, who. perhaps, have never known each other before, politely lift their hats and retire. "I want a pair till twelve," cries another. "Till twelve? Make it. 11, 30, and I can pair you with Mnlton." "Well say 11.30, "" Very well. Fit/.hugh, you nre paired till 11.30 , wilh Mnlton, nnd mny go." And so the work goes on for some hnlf hour; nnd as, perhaps, in the course of this time a hundred members are paired, it mny he easily imagined that, what with the calling out - of "the whip and the scudding about of the members, there is uo small bustle and confusion. These agreements to pair are kept very honourably ; nnd it is very rare that a member breaks his pair by accident and never is this done by design. Sometimes we hnve some very close running. One niget, Inst Session, a division was called just before eleven. The Sergeant-at-Arms was at tbe door ready to shut it, when ■' member who was paired till eleven arrived. Tlie hand was on the stroke ; it just glided over it; he rushed in, and thc door was shut, and he saved the division. A minute his pair came up ; but the door was locked, and he lest thc division. Bright as a Speaker.—lf the test, of the speaker be the power to arrest thc attention of bis hearers and hold it, Bright is the best speaker in the House except,ng it may bc Gladstone ; for uoman with this one exception. can rivet their minds for an hour as he can. And then, in judging of Brigbt's power, we must consider the disadvantages under which he labors. He has no official prestin-e'; in has no great party behind him, like Fi-rn- eli. Four-fifths of the House dislike both the man and his principles. And when he speaks nil the sentiments Which he titters are in direct opposition to the opinions nnd prejudices ofthe bulk ot his hearers. And yet be is listened to; -Mid not only listened to but there is rapt attention while he is speaking, nnd the most rabid opponent ofthe man and his principles is anxious to catch every word that he says. It was so when the fortification question was before the House. On the division there were 201. against him nnd only a poor 39 in his tavor. and yet how attentively the members listened to him, and not only listened to him but seemed to be moved by his speech : for wcre they not absorbed in their attention, and did they not cheer many of his sen- ences nnd laugh a jolly laugh nt his humor .' Bright s speech on this occasion wns one of his most remarkable efforts. (If course we say nothing here of the sentiments of the speaker. Whether he was right or wrong we lenve others to decide; but thnt it was a speech ol great ability nnd most effectually delivered hi3 sternest opponents confessed. The English Battalion in the National Aiimv of Sicily,—At the buttle of Mclazzo a body or troops called the English battalion, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Dunne, did Garibaldi good service. When the Neapolitan troops were bcutcn olfthc field of buttle into the town they made for the upper portion, firing down the streets its they re-treated. The English battalion followed them close to the fortress, nnd gi t one of the most advanced posts. Throwing up a barricade across '.he top of tbe narrow thoroughfare which lends immediately to the citadel, they maintained a hot lire against the Neapolitans until a'stop was put to hostilities by j tlie truce. The Times corespondent, trentingof one of the most critical periods ofthe battle of Melnzzo, writes ns j follows :—"Although the whole movement was under tbe orders more especially of Medici. Garibaldi wns, of courso, the soul ofthe fight, finding himself invariably at lhe point most exposed, nnd exposing himself, us is his wont to do. He was with the centre, which wns mnking its way slowly over and through all the obstacles, when the news arrived that the lelt, unable to resist the superior forces of the enemy, was giving way, and thus exposing the whole line to be turned on that side. Taking the only reserve remaining, a battalion composci? of North Italians and Palermitans (the so- called English Battalion), under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Dunne and several other English officers, he went to the left to stem the advance of the Neapolitans. His presence and the exertions of the officers of the battalion succeeded in steadying those young troops who not only resisted further attack', but.pushed forward towards the guns with which the enemy was sweeping the road. One advance bolder than the rest brought them to the guns; nn English sailor, lately enlisted at Patti, wns the first to cross the wall behind which one ofthe guns was posted, and the next moment the gun was carried off in triumph. The Eng- glish officers of the regiment are Lieutenant-Colonel Dunne, Major Percy Windham, Captain Edward Styles, Lieutenant Robert Walker (late 16th Regiment), und Lieutenant Alfred Styles.

Why arc Diseases so Fatal in Tropical Climates 1 Merely because we prescribe for their effect, instead of their cause, and try to relieve symptoms instead of triking nt their root. The action of these Pills is precisely the reverse. They expel from the secretive organs and the circulation the morbid matter which produces inflammation, pain, fever, debility, and physical decay ; and the basis of disease being removed, its manifestations vanish. While ordinary remedies only afford a temporary respite to the sufferer, whereas these Piiis annihilate the disorder. Ill Health in Hot Countries. Frequently arises from nervous disorders affecting the action of lhe henrt and deranging the whole animal economy : these fine Pills will restore the nervous systom however deranged, and bring back health and spirits when all other medicine lias failed. Bilious and Liver Complaints. Frequently lead to the worst phases of human suffering, yet how many in the East and West Indies, and most of our Foreign Possessions, are thus afflicted, unknowing the means of cure placed within their grasp ; such should take a few boxes of these Pills accord:ng to thc directions given in the books, and their ailments will quickly leave them. Dropsicul Swellings and Turn of Life. This is a most disastrous period in woman's history, it destroys thousands, the whole of the gross humors collect together, uml like a tide sweep away health nnd life itself, if not timely and powerfully checked. The most certain remedy for nil these dangerous symptoms is Holloway's Pills. Armed with this great antidote, the fiery ordeal is passed through, and the sufferer is once more restored to the possession of unimpaired health. These Pills are equally efficacious in all female complaints, and obstructions at the dawn of womanhood. Stomach and Liver Complaints. These are complaints of the million, particularly of those iu warm latitudes ; few escape them ; .'lid, if neglected, Ihey lend to innumerable dangerous maladies. But why neglect thcin when Ilollowuy's Pills will eradicate them ns certainly as water extinguishes fire? They relieve the bowels, purify the fluids, and invigoi- nto the system und the constitution at the same time. They are admitted by virtue of special decrees into thc dominions of despotism, and thus have become a great household remedy. Dysentery and Bowel Complaints. These famous Pills should be taken once or twice a week by all classes in tbis part of tlie world, by which means, none need fear the attacks of these direful scourges. A Word to Females. The local debility and irregularities which are the special annoyance of the weaker sex, nnd which, when neglected, always shortens life, are relieved for the time being ami prevented for the time to come, by a course of this mild but thorough alterative. Holloway's Fills are the best remedy known in the world for the following diseases:— Bilious Complaints Erysipelas Stone and Gravel Blotches on the Female Irrcg- Liver Complaints sk,n ulurities Lumbago Bowel Complaints Fevers of all Piles Colics kinds Retention of Urine Constipation of the Fits Scrofula, or King's Bowels Gout Evil Consumption Head-ache Sore Throats Debility Indigestion Secondary Sympt Dropsy Inflammation Tic Douloureux Dysentery Tumours Ulcers Venereal Affections Worms of all Weakness, from kinds whatever cause, kc, kc Sold nt thc establishment of PnoFi'ssoR Hoi.lowav, 244, Strand, (near Temple Bar) London. also by all respectable Druggists and Dealers in medicines throughout the civilized world. 8®"*"There is a considerable saving by taking the. larger size.
