a " solution of continuity" the harvest would have been lost . The unfavourable state of the weather for the last week hag done mischief in many localities , and its effects on the potatoe cro ^> in particular have in many places been very prejudicial . In America the cereal harvest has b'jen abundant , as it aldO lias in many of the corn producing countries of the Old World . The American cotton crop will , it is estimated , yield three-and-half millions of bales . The Social Science Congress commenced its stitting 3 on Monday , when IJ 3 rd Brougham delivered the opening address . We learn from the Cape that Prince Alfred is making a progress there as signally attended with demonstrations of loyalty as tliose which in general have distinguished the reception of his brother in America . After visit ing Natal he was to return to the Gape and lay the first stone of the Sailors' Home . A M > . Samuel O » ven , who has been delivering open air lectures in Hy de-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 begging , on the ground that lie had received gratuities from the bystanders , and was discharged with the caution that next time he was found so doing he would be sentenced to the usual punishment . 1 At the opening of the Vernon-park at Stockport , on Monday , severa people are reported to have b ^ eu trampled on , or otherwise crushed to death , in the crowd . Vacancies in the representation of Honiton and Boston have been causaci by the deaths of Mr . Locke and Mr . Ingram . Mr . Malcom has been announced as tlie Conservative candidate for the latter pines , and Mi \ MofFdt as the liberal candidate for the former . .. The result of the adjourned inquiry into the circumstances of the Stepney . murder this week , is that Emms was discharged , and Mulliiis again remanded until next Tuesday .

The fortifications of Gaeta and Capua presented fonnidable difficulties to Garibaldi ' s extemporized army , without the necessary appendage of a regular seige train ; but as last week closed there Were sanguine . expectations that tha garrison of Capua , at least , would capitulate wit liout waiting to be captured . At Gaeta , provisions were said to run . scarce , so that the place could not , upon this statement * hold out long . iFrom these causes the hopes in favour of the liberating' movement ran high . 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 Venetia . Lamoriciere was still shut tip in Ancona , " but with the Sardinian army on the land side , and the . . Sardinian fleet commanding the sea , its fall was only regarded as a question of time , probably but " short . The alleged correspondence between Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel , it was stated by the Turin journals , had been officially declared unauthentic , at least as regards the form in which it was originally put . The Marquis of Pallavicino ( the Spielberg prisoner ) had . been appointed by the King of Sardinia to the commission requested by Garibaldi ; Saul ( the Roman triumvir ) liad been appointed pro-dictator of Sicily by Garibaldi himself ; and Mazzini had arrived at Naples ; all of these circumstances tending to show ' that the renllv liberal cause was in tlie ascendant . A letter was addi-essed by Garibaldi to the effect that though the dictator was determined to sacrifice all personal considerations on the altar of his country ' s welfare , he could , never be reconciled with , those who were capable of selling an Italian province ; expressions of very significant import , as the province indicated was evidently the one recently ceded to Frarice . Garibaldi is , it seems , one of that sohool 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 Sicily , though without specifying tlie period of its taking offect , thus keeping on good terms with "Victor Emmanuel , upon whom tho movement does certainly at present , in a groat measure , depend . Meanwhile the woek opened with news which seemed to show that the power of France was alone interposed between Rome and immediato capture by the Sardinian army , tho south-western , that is , the right wing of which wa 9 posted at Narni and . along the river Neri , which , at a place called Orte , falls into tho Tiber . On tho othor hand , the forces still attached to tho King of Naples were alleged to be so disposed as to presont serious obstacles to Garibaldi , should he march upon " tho Eternal city . " The Sardinian Government invraedintoly dotorminod to liberate all Fwnoh subjoets taken prisoners in the recent battles , thus showing a douided feeling of amity wilh Franco . Tho inhabitants of Viterbo having driven out tho Popo ' e troops from tho garrison , tho ohnssours of tho Tiber ontered and occupied iho place . Ghiribaldi ' a attack on Capua , it has been given out was a feint , which cost tho loss of 200 mow , to conceal hit ) udvnneo which eventuated in tho oapturo of Ciatol Volturno ; his troops also took possession of Cujusso , which thoy held against attempts to reoover it . The enemy's rotroak is thus out olF on all sides as far as it is possiklo for a numerically inferior force to horn , in , nnd shut up one far superior ) but what "dash " ami tho prestige of a greut namo has already effected it may accomplish ngiiiit . A proclamation followed up those aohitavomontB , declaring that tho Dictator would join the King of Sardiniu ' forces' afc R > tne , and march in conjunction upon Voaioo . Vitorbo , witliin thp territories of the Popo , hud boon capturod by tho oha ? aoura of tho Tiber , bo that tho ground under Fronoh protootion hud boon ontorud upon , tho population rising in arms to join tho liberating troops .

Tlio romilt of tl » o airuir ut Monfcolldimlo was more favourable to G-onornl Cialdini tlian was at ilrst supposed ; 150 instead of Hfty oflloora being taken , and eleven instead of oix piouos of cannon . This btfintf Iho position of things wo roooived news al iniU-weok thhl ; tho liberating furuos passod on beyond Vitorbo , towards Uivita Veoohio and Rome Tosomu'lla wa « ad cmoo oeoupiod , ' nndnn ndvunoo inudtf upon Cjineto .

made prisoners . Early in the week , G-aribaldi ' s envoy Pallavicini , had 1 ' . 'had . an interview with the King , of tr . irdmhi . Advk'es from Turin inform us , late ' in the week , th . it 5000 Sardinian troops were upon tho eve of departure from Leghoru for Sicily , and that the absorption of the Neapolitan territories-into ,- and their consolidali > n with , free and ¦ liberated Italy would immediately take place . ' The King- of Sardiniaj was abjut to leave for Bologna , the neighbourhood adjacent to the I operations of his army . The report had gone aboroad ( hat Garibaldi ' s j propositions conveyed by Pallavicini to Victor Emmanuel had been rejeeted by the latter . I Italian . affau . constituting , as they now do , the engrossing topic of I interest , there is but little to record from othor quarters , at least in j bulk , if not in significance . The " Warsaw Meeting" is attended in . some quarters with ominous forebodings . The relations of Russia and I France appear , in one view at least , to be somewhat doubtful . It seems that Prince Gortschakoff had had a long conference with the French Ambassador , the Duke of Montebello , in reference to tho general state of things in Europe and the affairs of Italy . The Prince after having expressed the sincere desire of Russia to maintain friendly relations with France , said that the alliance between Franco and Sardinia encouraged the propagation of doctrines constituting a permanent danger to the political equilibrium and the stability of thrones . Russia , he said , would entirely fail in her mission were she not , in common with other States threatened , to raise her voice in defence of social order and monarchical interests . The Prince added that this was the object of the approaching- interview- at Warsaw . The Austrian view of things pervades this'intiination , which . seems little short of a threat , and at first sight it would appear as if tlie Prince was sure that his expressions would be endorsed by the Warsaw meeting . Lord John Russell , however , is , according to ^ t-he German press , to have ' an . ' interviews with the Prince of Prussia , on the 6 th OJtober , and this , coupled with the almost unanimous .. confidence of the press in that country , that the Prince will be true to liberal interest * , seems to afford some assurance that there will be at least one dissentient from an absolutist programme at Warsaw . The me ? tiug , it has been rumoured , will be put oil * from the 13 th , aa originally fixed , until the 20 th ¦ of the month . ¦ We learn that the naval authorities at Toulon have received orders to prepare a considerable number of transport ; . vessels for the conveyance of troops . It was . ' asserte ' c . l that three steamers are expected at Malta -with reinforcements from England . Whether the naval preparations ^ at Toulon were intended for tlie conveya nc e of French reinforcements to Civita Veceliia , or for the reconveyance of . French , troops in Italy to France , was 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 countenaneer if riot supporter .- Ijetter . s 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 ! " Some cries of " Napoleon for ever ! " were also heard . . With reference to Austria , the stale of her finances seem to be such as to render the phrase " national bankruptcy " the most appropriately descriptive of her present condition .
