Bowes, is nonsly. apparent in the telegrams, corteipond ence, State papers, 'and leading articles of the foreign files received by the Adriatic.

Already the•" peoples" are aglow with recital,' of the marvellous victories of the Italian 'patriots, and 'begin to shoti signs of awaken ipg tai order 'of things.

GARIBALDI ftp= prohends the iverat "from the'diplematie en tanglements in which Naples now seeks by 411 means left her to draw the other conti nental Goverements. In his address of thanks for assistance rendered him by the inhabitants of Sheffield . in England, he implores them : "Do not let diplomacy interfere with ns, and 'ltaly will belong to the Italtans-"-Italy will be united, independent; free t"' A correspondent of a London paper writes as follows That the Court of Naples looks with little hope on the exertions of its troops,,ls evident from the mission of the Marquis De la Green. This envoy has been sent to communicate with the Govern ments of Franco and England. Rio letter to Lord John Russell sufficiently indicates the nature of M De la Green's instructions, whiob, moreover, ore clearly defined in- a despatch. from Paris. Lnrd John Russelll answer to Mr. Griffith was to the effaot that the covey " had proposed to her hitijesty'a Government that thew should mediate between the King of the Two mollies and Garibaldi, and that. if that mediation for the 4.11 , - Me of obtaining an armistice and prov dine that there should attack on the mialend. should not be ao 'dented by Garibaldi. force should be used by the Go vernments of Great Britain and France, with a view of imposing slush an armistice upon him." " To that proposition," says Loth John Russell, aller Majesty's Government have declined to as sent:" M. De la Greta, in his letter of explana tion. modifies this statement but very alightiy : " Whet I requested of the ffovernment of her Bri• tannle Melee y woe to be good enough in concert with Fr nee and Piedmont to exercise a pressure upon Ga ribaldi, with the view of ontalning a real truce for six months, en that .the negotiations for an alliance with Piedmont might be brought to an isrue, and that the meet tit of the- national representation might take place. Now, although the Neapolitan envoy says that the " idea of direotly employing force against Blot ly " never entered his mind or that of the Govern ment, be omits to inform us how he proposes that " a pressure, ehould be exercised" against Oar! , halal without same Snob employment of force. It seems pretty olear that, if the, groat Powers de ' terrains ' to' take this course, material pressure must be used where moral pressure has been of no effect. We have now, however, ono of M De la Gropes, propositions given.with accuracy It was that an Anglo-French squadron should cruise off Calabria end Naples, in order to prevent any invasion by Garibaldi. It seems that the French Government was not dia• brained to this interference. The Emperor Na poleon has enough of the sovereign in him to see with disquiet the uprising of a people and the tot tering of a throne He has. also, no particular wish to see the dominions of Victor Emmanuel any further extended. Now that he himself has gained military reputation, and a new lapse of power by fighting for Hely. the French Emperor has become conservative, and wishes to see Italians quiet, whether they be milder a Hapsburg or a Bourbon But the duty of England is something very differ. - eat. Our policy, in the Italian question is one of Conviction. The principle which has been accepted for the national guidance is that or non-interven Sion. so far as we interfere it will only be by counsels and remonstrances ; these will have but ono end—to insure the Italians being left to them selves to settle their, off drs in their own way. This maxim tuts been so often repeated that it may seem trite, but when we see bow soon it is forgotten by other nations, and bow little the Neapolitan envoy believed that we should sot on it, there is no harm in repeating it." Irurroi. EMMANUEL himself is not unaffected by the untoward course of events. But, after the. important aervices of GAILIBALIM, in placing Sardinia among the great Powers of Europe; it is more than strange that the Sardi. teat King, at the instigation of Naples, should not only publicly announce his dissatisfaction with the Sicilian expedition, but boldly urge' its leader 1,6 remain content with the freedom of Sicily, at the moment when the entire Neapolitan despotism totters to ite fall and the Neapolitan people are expectant of • 'enfranchisement. VIOTON, EMMANUEL, doubtless, would have the impression lett that he has nothing to do with the present movement, notwithstanding it is undisguised that the fruit gathered must fall into his royal lap; 'but while GARIBALDI only asks c' hands orr,". 'yet one cannot help applying to Sar dinia's King the ancient adage, that a friend who does you no good is no batter than an enemy who does yon no harm.

Owing to the absence from the city of Judge Allison, the sentence will not be imposed until the latter part of the week.

A violation of this order would, he said, be followed by the di"- missal of the offending officer; and the Judge had no doubt but that his colleagues on the bench would continue the order in force during their respective terms.

Weary:mow, August 13 —Judge Amy, of Kan sas. has filed in the General Land Office the ne cessary papers to obtain the right of way for the conitruation of a railroad through Southern Kan sas, to connect with the Galveston Railroad, in Texas The Commissioner of the General Land Office has, in conformity with the laws of CongreSs, granted the necessary instructions to the land offi cers having control of the lands through which this road will pass, to reserve the right of way and fends for depots and water stations. Mr. Amy left this city to day for Kansas, and with a corps of engineers who will at once proceed to make a survey through Kansas, and the Osage and Chero kee Indian country, with a view of the permanent location of the road through this Indian territory. The menstruation of this road will connect the Western country with the Gulf of Mexico. and van the travel and resources of a large portion of country in Kansas, the Indian Territory, and the States of Texas, Arkansas, and other States, which is now of comparatively little value. By the con struction of a railroad from Atchison. connecting with the Hannibal and St Joseph's Railroad to Lawrence, and from Leavenworth to Lawrence, and thence south through the Indian Territory, to connect with the Texas roads, it is believed that millions of dollars will be added to the wealth of the country from the mineral resources whiob have not been and cannot be developed without the means of travel and transportation whtoh the present enterprise is designed to supply. Thaddeus Hyatt, of the city of New York, Is here, on his way to the West. He, it is said, goes to Kansas to inquire into the condition of the psople of that Territory, who are reported ea on the verge of starvation from the failing of the crops. The statement that a suit has been instituted against, the Sergeant-at-Arras of the Senate by Hyatt, is erroneous. His intention is to pro secute in the htate courts the Individual Senators who voted for his imprisonment, but these suits are now necessarily delayed, his counsel having been iost•uoted to defor them until his return from the West.

[From the London Poet—Palmeretoa's organ.] Friendly words are always acceptable from a neighbor, especially when it is in his power to giro proof of bis intentions and complete our satisfac tion by deeds. If we are not misinformed, a let ter has just been received in London which cannot but insure a bearty.welcome from any Englichman who may become aware of its contents. An earnest desire for our alliance, coupled with the praotioal request that we should work out in Italy and Syria a united polloy, are subjects worthy of our willing attention, especially when in the East the firm maintenance of the Ottoman Empire in its inde pendence and integrity, and in Italy the renunci ation and hindrance of all and any foreign inter vention, are the lives of policy suggested as both judicious and desirable. If we add to this that we have reason to believe that assurances relative to military and naval strength, of a frank and explielt character, form a portion of this document it will be readily ad mitted that we can hardly over-estimate its Im portance.

From Rattan, off which island the five vessels made their rendezvous, the voyage was a moat pros tperons one, and the whole fleet passed down the coast in splendid style. The expedition first came to anchor at the Island of Cozumel, oft] the coast of Yucatan, where it remained, communicating with the mainland and completing the preparations for the expedition, till the 20th ult. It then set salt for Nicaragua direct, where it is believed, long ere this, to have effected a landing. While off the coast of Yucatan the expedition received large reinforcements of men. and was' amply supplied with provisions. From Yucatan there is no news of parlionlar importance.

Douglas nand& eminently clear on the record in regard to the Pliolllo railroad and all other measures of im portance to California, whilst Breokinridge was so successful and persistent is his opposition to a Pa. ciao railroad. that in 1855 his vote actually killed the measure after it had been passed A reoonsi. deration was moved, and the measure was lost by one vote, that one vote being cast by Breokinridge. Of course such a anndidate, in opposition to the progreesive Douglas, will run, with weights to his feet in this State, and we therefore give Douglas 10.000 more votes.

Hitherto they have not produced enough to support their families. The majority would leave if they had the moans, but, as they have not the wherewithal, they must make a virtue of necessity, and wait farwhat the future will bring.

The following Is said to be the copy of a leer recently addressed by Ring Victor Emmanuel to Oen Garibaldi : GEISERA,r, : You know that I did not approve of your expedition, and that I was entirely foreign to it, but to day the very grave oircumstancee in which Italy Is placed make it a duty to enter into direct communication with you. In the event of the Kirg of Naples consenting to evacunte the winds of Sicily, and voluntarily abandoning all species of action, and formally pledging himself to exorcise no pressure whatso ever upon the Sicilians. so that the latter may freely pronounce their will, and choose the mode of government which they may prefer, I believe it will bo wise in yon to renounce altogether any further enterprise upon the Kingdom of Naples In the contrary event, I expressly reserve my en tire liberty of action. and relieve myself of making any comment to you In regard to your projects. Tho French Journal of Frankfort has the fol lowing: " The interview of Toplitz has only been caused by the necessity of regulating the conditions of the accord which exists between the two Govern ments on all the questions pending inxurope. Those Governments regard the Eastern queition in the same point of view; that is to say, that, thougli desiring to contribute for their part to ameliorate tho condition of the Christians in Turkey, they do not think necessary to do eo by removing from the sovereignty of the Porte the provinces in which the Christians are in a minority ; and they aro itke wise opposed to the project of France and Rll33l ft for the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. y "As regards the affairi of Southern Italy, the both admit the imposelbility of an intervention In favor of the King of Naples; but they see the ne cessity of favoring all that can assist that severeign in marching without embarrassment in the now path he has traced out for himself, tend en effecting the reforms which, by coonring him the confidence of his subjects, would bosoms the host guarantee of the integrity of his possessions. Finally, the two Powers, while admitting tho inopportuneness of the proposed Conference on the annexation of Sa. voy, are of opinion that the neutrality of Switzer. laud is not t uffloiently protected by the manner in which France understends the obligations imposed On her by the eat of Vienna and the treaty of ces sion with Sardinia. As to the understanding to which the two sovereigns may come on the effdro which exclusively concern the Germania Confede• ration, wo have many reasons to believe that the basis of it is settled." A Berlin oorrorpondont or the Cologne Gazette writes; "The meeting at Toplitz bee been prepared end' arranged by the King of Bavaria. At Baden, in a confidential conversation with the Prince Regent, Tang Maximilian frankly expressed all the feel- Inge agitating the hearts of the Wurabourgera. The principal aided of this interview was to ttFa tablish a better understanding between Prussia and Austria, The Prince Regent frankly ex premed his sentiments, which all P 111943 partakes with him, in regard to the outrages which we have 'suffered from Austria during ten years, and espe. daily within the last year. The Ring of Bavaria mended the Prince ns to whether he did not be lieve a pollens' meeting with the Emperor of Aus tria might facilitate a political understanding or a closer alliance. The Prince showed himself die poeed to enter upon these views, hut, at the same time, insisted on Austria taking the first etop, be ammo she owed him still a reparation on account of the Luxembourg manifesto, the erroneous and of fensive imputations of which she bad never yet disavowed. Besides, the Prince declared ex pressly that if the meeting was to take place, no stipulations could there be brought forward do signed to fetter the liberty of notion of Prussia This point, the most important one for a correct appreciation of the results of the Toplitz Con ference, has been mnintained by Prussia in the overtures, preceding the interview, and Prussian reserve has been clothed in the form of a diploma tic notion. "After these preliminary measareeof the Ring of Bavaria had been arranged, the Emperor address ed an invitation in an autograph letter, to the Prince ; and the Prince, after declining the choice of Dresden and Munich, courteously designated Toplite as the place where the meeting wee to be held, and paid no notion to the proposition con cerning the admission of other German roverages "In presence of these feete, we may ealmly await the news of the result of this meeting at Toplitz. Prussian policy has no more been taken in by Austria at Toplite than itgave itself up to the Wurzbourgers at Baden. The Dresden Journal, in saying that outside of Prussia the Interview is considered unsatisfactory, admits indirectly that Prussia hat remained free." - , rallarritt• UETItLS OF Ht !SIRS rOurics IN onuronxlA Sicilian Affairs.

It appears that a pariyealling themeelves "Hot. tontots "—adherenti of the South Penn Cosa Com. pany—went on an excursion to Delta Grove, a point on the Delaware some ten milts north of Camden. The party comprised persons of both sexes to the number of two hundred and upwards. DONS AND RIOTS Rows were frequent during the day. Ono man wee stabbed in the morning. Five or six of the adherents of the Ilibernla Hon accompanied the party. A man named Keyser, connected with the United States Hose Company, was observed to be very quarrelsome. Ile early became intoxicated, and made numerous efforts to create a disturbance. Notwithstanding' all 'this, however, no serious af fray took place until about six o'cirk: in the eve ning. - Ell=lE3 About that time, and while the party were en gaged In packing np and preparing to embark on board the bout, Keyser seized one of the party and struok 'him.

FLIOUT OF 'air MURDERER Keyser, who had maintained his ground previous to the fatal termination, now turned horror stricken from the scene, sped to the Delaware, and plunged in. He swam a few hundred feet from the shore. A number of the c. Hottentots," however, deter mined upon revenge for their murdered eon). panion, pursued him. Ho made desperate efforts to drown himself, bat was overtaken, and badly beaten by the infuriated crowd. He was finally captured by a man named Burke, and brought safely to the shore. A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER While the riot was progressinz Repor le said to have stabbed six other men.

It was nearly twelve o'clock before our reporters sallied out. They took the last Third-street oar, and nervously awaited their arrival at Columbia avecuo, at the junction of which with Philip street the murdered man was belioied to reside with his brother Tho streets were still muddy and damp from the recant rain, the clouds were dark and the sky starless, while a dense fog or mint rose from the gutters and vacant marsh lots. The locality selected for our rambles was noted for its bad repute. We dismounted from the oar at Second street and Columbia avenue. Not a light could he seen. The groggerles were shut and the streets were desolate. - We rambled through Philip street—a narrow, povertystrioken alley, blocked up with sundry carts—and as our feat echoed along the deserted pavements, every mastiff and our bellowed huskily on the night air.

" Wisht !" said the woman, with a short, feeling howl—" John Hockey dead? Oh ! childer, you have kilt me entirely." And the woman could be heard to weep as she hid her head in her apron. She raised it again in a moment and continued : " Poor John Hockey ! And is he murdered ? Ow, ow, Pm clean gone. The poor follow that never did nobody harm, and was loved by every Ander. Oh! boys, boys—does his poor father know It ?" Wo were somewhat affected with this honest but unaffected grief. Still, it is not a reporter's duty to delay. We begged the old woman to eend her husband with no to Hockey's residence. Ile was away, but she would go horPolf or Fend one cf the boys.
