Tiding 3 having arrived as drew to a close of a collision between Garibaldi and the Neapolitan troops , attended with entire success to the former . Along the whole line of operations the position of the liberating niovenieat . was . plnced on a more satisfactory fouling than the sinister forebodings , hastily ventured upon misunderstood faefsu ¦ wore calculated to m . ; ke . th'j public , believe . ^ S ' o less than 5 , 000 prisoners were said to ba taken by the victors , while tlic-scattored remnants of the enemy who escaped capture were flvincy from the scene of action in all directions .

( hut it w » s ever intended to mako j'ver tiie Island of Sardinia to France , and did not scruple to -attribute tho rumour to a Eouivp which ' spreads its O ' cvull and adverse influence from Palermo to Vienn . ij i ( . having been at these two places that tlie report in question was simultaneously put fort-i . The news that arrived as the week opened showed that the Sardinian troops had not crossed tho Neapolitan frontier , and tho strain and stress of the striigylo appeared for the time to be between Garibaldi and tho King of Naples , the latter having received a check , and the former preparing t ' ov a spring , 13 ertani had strcnou- < ry denied , through tho press of Turin , I hat he or Garibaldi ever intended to present any obstacles to the Sardinians crossing tho frontier of Naples , mudi less to attack tho French troop ? . At mid-week intelliynneo reached us that tho Sardinians , under tho command of Victor . Emmanuel in person , were about to enter ( ho Neapolitan territories on sevonil points uf once . ( Simultaneously with this etep came forth tho King's manifesto , staring tho course ho had determined upon pursuing-. . There was every symptom of tlie proceedings of tho Sardinian Monarch being , as far as they had gone , iu conformity willi tho wishes of tho people concerned ; whether the Italians desire " unnoxittion , " or Iho erection of an united Italian kingdom , or no kingdom a , t all , but a great Italian republic , tlicro lins hardly as yet emorged n . nifliciont amount of sure riutu for determining , From Naploa wo received tidings that Mu / . zini liurl received a warning to withdraw from the pluco , on the part of Garibaldi ' s pro-diotalor Pullavicini . Tlie advanced Liberals seemed to lvgnrd this as an evil onion , portending tho fwendnney of , to sny iho least , but semi-liberal counsels . If vvp turn now to u . \ tra-Italian ngenoio 3 bearing , however , upon the fate of Unit ; country , wo / hid a government print : nt Puris hinting pretty dourly flint Russia , Priipsiii , and Austria navo entered , their protest ngiiinwl tho invitsion of Neapolitan soil by Sardinian troopa . Now by rvory . possible interpretution of tho non-intervention principle , tho Italians huvo a right to bo left perfootly Iroo to dinpoeo of themselves us they please , not to bo dictated to nnd disposed of by nlien dynnslies , with no Hj'innntliicB for tlicjn , nnd no fuculties oven for nndorstunding their tendencies and genius . If they choose tohiivo Victor Eminnnuol for their ruler , or if they choose to establish a republic , tiny linvo an undoubted right to do bo , which cannot bo interfered with except by an niter and flagrant broach of the non-intorvoni ion policy , Mennwhilo tho Popo i ? eifinod to ] invo made \ ip hie mind , at tho suggestion of his advisers , to remain nt Koine , and .

| The fine -weather of last week was simultaneous with a slightly increasing mortality . The ^ caths in t lie metropolis reached 1 , 075 , a somewhat higher number than those of the week preceding . If we take tho general average , hover . er , the icsult will presciit . a satisfactory-aspect .-: . During the quarter tliat terminated en the SOth-fSepttniber t . Lere were 12 . 919 registered death ' s in London '; while dining the corresponding quarter in theprcvioiisfour ' ycai- £ tlicreivere , in 1 SD 9 no loss than 19 , 010 ; in 1658 there were 11 , 315 j in ] S 57 there \ vcre 1 J . 2 C 9 : and in 1 S 56 there were 14 , 0 C 6 ; and the 12 , 216 deaths of the past quarter of iho present , year , are upon a population in creased beyond the number of . the previous years . ] N o doubt ^ the cold weather , so ' unfavourable to various' 1-ir . d of vegatable productions , had an oj ^ pes-i 't e effect as' re : gards laumnn health ; but it muet . be remembered that the lbwncs ' a of the mortality of this season , is in scire measure rlucto the great munj bers of infirm lives prematurely tilled by the curly and continued frost i of lust viiitcr . - ! In cycry department of licire news . this week there is a perfect I . dearth of matt rials . " With the exception of theatrical novelties there j fcemo nothing stirring but stagnation . There is , however , one very j painful subject en ' wliidi there are unhappily new items to chronicle . [ We allude to the criminal , record of tie week . Ann Pad field has been j committed from "Worship-street , for the child murder at Leu-bridge ; i and tlie coroner's jury lias i ' cuiid . a verdict of wilful murder against ! 3 Iilncr Lockey , who shot Thomas Harrison , at Urpc-rlh near JS ' ew-. castle-upon-Tyne .
