The votes your As- semblies have recorded, and the numerous volunteers who have fought under the flags of Piedmont during the days of the last struggle, have found that firmness is a true virtue with the le of Modena and Parma.’? The speech of his Majesty concluded thus:—“Therofore, I need not say to you, persevere. I will only congratulate you upon the order and moderation of which you have iven such brilliant examples, in order to prove to Europe at the Italians know how to govern themselves, and are worthy to be citizens of a free nation.” The deputations had met with a most enthusiastic re- ception from the citizens of Turin. The National Assembly of Parma had unanimously Voted the confirmation of Signor Farini as Dictator. Tho Assembly further resolved to take into consideration a proposal to authorize the Dictator to contract a loan, the amount of which remains to be fixed. The latest news from Italy leaves little doubt of the determination of the kalians to rely on themselves. Garibaldi was preparing @ general concentration of troops on any given part. General Fanti, Commander-in-Chief of the troops of the Italian League, had fixed his head- quarters at Bologna. The soldiers disbanded by Victor Emanuel were flocking round him. Letters from Rome state that the health of the Pope was almost entirely restored. ‘The Austrian party is represented as triumphant in Na- ples, and no reforms are to be e: |. A new anti- reform Ministry was spoken of. (Boal land owners and others in Venitia had signed an addregs to the Empe- ror of Austria, praying him to take off the additional war tax, as the annual revenue from the lands cannot support such heavy burdens.

Mes- Sages for Australia and China will be forwarded by post from Aden. There is every probability that a direct communication with Alexandria will be established through Constantinople in the course of a few weeks. ‘The news from India will then reach London in ten or eleven days. The cable for the Kurrachee section, in course of shipment at. Burkenhead, will be laid by the end of the year. Conflicting accounts are published as to the state of the London builders’ strike, but it is evident that great num- bers of men are resuming work under the non-society terms proposed by the masters.

M. ‘The London Daily News (City Article) of Friday even- ing says:— Although business exhibited no revival increased firm- nees prevailed to-day in the Stock Exchange. The im- provement in the funds scarcely exceeded 1-16th per cent, but in some of the other departments of tho Stock Exchange, especially in the market for British railway stocks, the preponderance was more observable. The demand for money was brisker, and 2%; was the lowest rate for bills of the first class. No gold was gent into the bank to-day. The bank re- ‘turn shows an increase of coin and bullion during the week ending on Wednesday of £484,400. Another favorable feature is an increase of nearly three-quarters of a million in the reserve. ‘The London Times City Article of Friday evening says:— English funds wore rather dull at the opening this morning, but have closed with renewed firmness. The recovery was attributed to the circumstance of the specu- lative sellers on the China news, showing a disposition to ‘buy back. .There has been an increased demand for mo- ney to-day, and at the bank the applications for discount were on a larger scale. ‘The railway market shows litte change during the greater part of the day, but toward the close, especially official hours, a nearly general advance took place of 14 to 34 per cent. the Colonial markets this week supplies of most kinds of produce haye been large, and with the excep- tion of some articles, affected by the late news from China lower prices have been established. The trade, feeeree do not appear greatly anxious to increase their stocks. An extensive business in tea has been transacted since the confirmation of the disastrous news from China. The attention of speculators and dealers, many of whom were short of stocks, has been chiefly directed to the common and medium kinds of Congon, which have advanced 114d. 02d. per Ib. ou last week’s ‘lowest quotations, and ‘the market closes firm. MISCELLANEOUS. The London Times devotes a leading article to the pas- sage in Lord Stanhope’s speech at Maidstone, complaining of the exclusion of Irishmen from the present govern- ment. The channel fleet arrived at Plymoth yesterday morn- ing, and anchored in the Sound. The building operatives are gradually returning to work at the old houses for a day’s work, some signing the document and others not. ' ‘The steamer Bremen, from New York, arrived at Southampton on the 16th inst. THE GREAT EASTERN. It is officially announced that the Great Eastern wil * \eave Portland, Weymouth, on her trial trip, on the 8th of October, instead of the 17th September, and finally sail from Holyhead for Portland, Maine, on the 20th of October, instead of the 29th September. This delay of * three weeks is the timo in which Mr. Scott Russell con- tracts to repair the damage occasioned by the explosion, and to put the vessel in the same condition that she was * im when she sailed from the Thames. This contract, how- ever, does not include any repairs which the boilers may De found to require, and although they apparently sus- tained no damage, an investigation is said to have shown that the internal stays of the boiler most directly exposed ‘to the force of the shock have either been displaced or greatly weakened, so that the boiler cannot be safely used in its present state. ’ ‘ THE DEATH OF MR. BRUNEL. / The decease of Mr. Brunel, the eminent engineer, oc- curred at his residence in London on the 15th instant, at the comparatively early age of fifty-four years. His last important work was the Great Eastern. On the 6th he ‘was carried from the Great Eastern to his residence in a very dangerous and alarming condition, having been seized with paralysis, induced, it was believed, by over mental anxiety. In spite of the most skilful medical atten- * tion he continued to sink, and expired at half-past ten on Thursday night. THE WAR IN CHINA. ‘The City of Baltimore and Vanderbilt brought us ample \ details of the disaster at the mouth of the Peiho, but thp papers now to hand contain additional particulars. {‘ An Eye-Witness,” in a letter to the London Times, thus speaks of the attitude of the Americans:—‘ I cannot end without referring to one matter that, in connection with this battle, should be ever remembered. Were we children of the same mother we could not havo re- ceived more sympathy and kindness than we met with from the Americans. Never were men more unwillingly neutral. As we passed in to the assault, Flag Officer Tatnall was heard to say, “ Blood is thicker than water,” and ina hundred different ways he and all his people, to the very cabin boys, acted up this homely proverb. When he heard that our Admiral ‘was wounded, at great personal risk ho went on board the Cormorant to see him. Many of our men slept in the American tender on the night of the fight. Segars, coffve, brandy—everything a man could want—was placed be- ‘ fore them. The American crew forgot themselves, and thought only of the British. A few days after the fight a Chinese junk, with a flag of truce, brought fresh provisions to the Powhatan, United States frigate. These were immediately sent to * our wounded. The bond of American brotherhood was indeed deeply cemented in our trial at the Peiho, I be- lieve there was not a man in the fleet who did not feel it growing up within him, and Iam sure there are thousands, if T may not say millions, at both sides of the Atlantic who will join me in the fervent wish that that feoling of Brotherhood may take deeper and deeper root in both 8. Decision in Admiralty. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. Before Hon. Judge Nelson. Sept. 29.—Stephen Larrabee and others vs. the Steamboat Piedmont, her Tackle, éc.—This case came up on appua from the Judge sitting in Admiralty, on a claim for da mages of $4,452 20, for a collision under the following state of facts:—The brig Philip Larrabee, owned by the libellants, was on her voyage from Jacksonville, Florida to Boston, loaded with lumber. On Sunday morning, Sep tember 2, 1855, while passing Holmes’ Hole with a strong wind from§. 8. W., took a heavy squall from the “Hole,” and findiag she could not move down over the shoal, rounded to off the mouth of the Hole, and came to anchor among a fleet of vessels lying there; the sails were clewed up; by this time it was daylight. Betwoen 9 and 10 P. M. ail hands were called to make sail for Boston, but the mas- ter judging from the state of the tide that he could not do it sufely, he set the usual watch and hoisted a good white light in’the rigging. About 11 P. M. the watch saw the steamer Piedmont two miles to the eastward, and when she was within a quarter of a mile sho was hailed twice, but neither hail was answered, and the steamer did not stop or chango her course, but ‘came directly head on to the brig, striking her on the starboard quarter, a few fect forward of the stern, inside of her counter timber, cutting off clear her whole stern down to the main transom. Judge Nelson said:—1 have looked into this case, and am satisfied that the injury done to the brig was committed by the propeller Picdmont. ‘The identity is the only ques- tion raised on the merits, Secondly, the amount of damages seem to me to have been carefully estimated, and J thitfk sustained by the proofs, William A. Freeborn and others vs. the Steamship Falcon, her tackle, dc.—This was @ libel to recover $8,386 for sup Plies furnished to the steamer—a domestic trader in the port of New York, trading to Philadelphia and New Or. leans. The Judge said without entering into the de- tallg he shoyld aflrm F '¢¢ Of the court below. ‘The London Times, in an editorial in which it censures Admiral Hope for his too great confidence and consequent ) defeat, concludes its remarks as follows:—It is more easy to found than to restore supremacy, but in the exe. cution of the duty which devolves upon England and France itis an unspeakable gratification to find that we may rely, at all events, on the sympathies of the grout , Anglo Saxon republic. ’ Whatever may be the result of the fight, England will never forget the day when the deeds and words of kindly Americans sustained and com- forted her stricken warriors on the waters of the Pelle Other English journals also acknowledge tho kindiy mpathy of the Amerieans. ¢ official despatches of Admiral Hope are published in the Gazette, but add little of importance to the accounts already published. FRANCE. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Globe revives the rumor that.the Empress Eugenie is enciente, and also gives cnrrency to a report that the Princess Clotilde is in a simi lar interesting situation. The London Times’ Paris correspondent says it was stated that 12,000 French troops had been ordered to be held in readiness to depart for China. Gon. Wimpfen was talked of for the command. + Rumors continued to circulate in Paris of a tendency to * an agreement between England and France on the subject WPIRCOPAL DIOCESS OF NEW YORK—THE CASE OF BISHOP ONDERDONK, SKOOND DAY—MORNING SERSION. ‘The Convention resumed its session yesterday morn- ing at nine o’clock. The proceedings commenced with the recital of morning prayers by Rev. J. L. Harrison and Rev. Minot M. Wells, rector of the church of the Holy In- nocents, Cornwall, Orange county. Rev. Joshua Weaver then said the ante-communion service. It being announced that Bishop Potter would be unable to attend the opening of the session, it was moved and carried that Rev. Wm. L. Johnson take the chair. The minutesof the preceding day’s business were read and adopted. Lay delegates who had not been present the day beforejthen presented their certificates, which were submitted to the proper authority for examination. Bishop Potter bere arrived, and took the chair. The report of the Committee on the Corporation of Churches was read. ‘The Secretary moved that the churches named in the report, and which bad made application for admission into the union with the Convention, receive that privilege. The sig ag oa . Dr. Hawke with a report from the Committee on Canons, which was adopted. The report was in rela- tion to changes made in articles III. and VI., and caused siderable discussion. con! ‘When the confusion attending this discussion had sub- Porrer came forward and delivered the ust pal address. After ont that he would waive the formal charge whieh p the address, he said that it was a subject of re! mn to him that di the five years of his service in the episcopacy the been steadily growing. The attendance at Lent was unusually large, notwithstanding other excitements which agitated the public mind. He referred to the late finan. cial revulsion, showing that in one way it was a source of good, fur men in their aifiiction saw the vanity of earthly possessions, and turned to rel for the sonsolation it ever bestows. The good seed which is sown in human nature pe again to life under circumstances which, in a worldly point of view, were disastrous. He showed how progressive the work of the church had been amongst the poor during the past year. He denied that because only a few new parishes had been established the church was not progressing, for the churches already built are becoming every day more and more crowded with the faithful. le pointed out the danger of interfering with ecclesiastical arrange- ments of any kind. The church a century ago was ina state of stagnation, and we may, therefore, be thankful for the spirit of progress and improvement manifested at the present time. He advised the church to look to her men of tried experience for counsel, and to be ready to avail herself of real improvements in actails. He next referred to the matter of dividing the diocess of New York, showing that like many others we borrow it from the Church of England. A revival once tok place in the Anglican church, and immediately thereafter the cry was raised for a division of the diocess. One of the argu- ments for the division of this diocess is the nume- rous population which inhabits it. He contended, how ever, that but one person in every ten was a member of the church. He held that when the facilities of reaching every portion of the dioces, were convenient, and when the dioces was not too crewded, no possible reason for dividing it could exist. Moreover, some of the counties have diminished in population. He considered the pa- rochial system next, demonstrating that more had beeu ained than lost by it, and that like everything human it jad its imperfections. compared the primitive church with the present state of things, showing the Teagon and justice of the that “had taken place and the futility of endeavoring to preserve and perpetuate many of its features. On the conclusion of the address the ball various committees, &c., was proceeded with. for the fol- lowing is the result:— For Members of the Standing Committee— Rev. William Berrian, D. D., Rey.

Dr. Jounson followed, with the report of the Mis- sionary Committee, and oy Dr. het read the report of the Society for ‘omoting Retigious Learning. A recess was then taken until seven o’clock in the evening. EVENING FESSION. ‘The Convention reassembled at seven o'clock in ‘the evening. ‘The report of the Committee on the Theological Semina ry was read and adopted. The report of the Committee on Parochial Aid stated that the Board of Trustecs some time since made applica- tion to the Legislature and obtained an act of incorpora- tion, but Governor Morgan, who then occupied the Guber- natorial chair of this State, vetoed the matter and it was finally lost. The report was a severe criticism on Gover- nor Morgan’s conduct, who, however, justified his action by referring to a law which is antagonistic to such a pro- ceeding of the Legislature. The report of the committee ‘was adopted. The following petition, the reading of which was the cause of no little amusement, was presented by the Rey. Mr. Jay:— To the Diocesan Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Dioces: of New Forke = The undersigned, members of the said church in the said diocese, respectfully, show to your honorable and reverend body that it hath recently been made matter of public notoriety, by the proceedings in our courts of law, the avowals of promi. bent statesmen and the eth age of the Amel rom that, in defiance of the law of God and of the ancient statutes this republic, the African slave trade bath been reopened, and is now being prosecuted from the port of New York, within the limits and, a of this diocess. The undersigned further show, that so powerful is the influ- ence exerted in favor of the sald trade, and so vitiated is the moral sense of a part of the community in re; that the legalizing of the said traflie 1a openly advocated, and the laws that denounce the same as piracy are mocked al and trampled upon with impunity Your memorialists do therefore respectful! pray your honorable and reverend body to tak stepaas, on due deliberation. to your wisdom shall seem meet, to en- courage a sound Christian sentiment on this subject, ‘and to say thls growing evil; to the intent that, by the voice and in- fluence of our church, truth and justice may be more firmly established in our diocess, and. especially, that the city of New York, whege the Church of England was so early planted, and so liberall? endowed, and where our Diocesan Convention holds itssiitings, may be purged of its present participation in this stupendous crime. A resolution was offered by Mr. Jay to submit this peti- tion to a committee to report at the next annual Conyen- tion, but was almost unanimously lost. A resolution was next adopted that the Committee on Canons be directed to prepare and submit, at the next Convention, a system of revised canons. The committee to consider the propriety of erasing from from the roll of the Union the names of such churches as had become extinct during the year, requested further time, which was granted. ‘The matter of the reinstalment of Bishop Onderdonk, which may be considered as the most important feature of the Convention, was now taken up, and Rev. Dr. Vinton, after seme preliminary remarks, offered a resolution de- siring this Convention to request the House of Latif to take action on the suspension of the Bishop of New York, or to modify the same so as to limit it to a certain time. Dr. Vixrox then gave, in a very lengthy speech, the his- tory of the Onderdonk movement, imputing treachery and conspiracy to certain parties connected therewith. Quite a lively and excited time followed, and a warm debate took place, during which some little ill feeling was manifested, and considerable cross-firing of sharp remarks was kept up on both sides. Dr. Hawks sketched the various interviews which had been held with Bishop Onderdonk concerning this matter. and read some of the correspondence which had passed between the various parties interested, at the same time expressing his regret that the press, in getting possession of only certain portions of it, had ‘caused a misunder- standing of the affair in the public mind. Dr. Tyxa, feeling that the mention which had beon made of his name required him to say in what way he was interested in it, accordingly stated his connection with the matter, and justified the course of conduct which he had pursued. Rey. Dr. ANTHON also showed his connection with it, and the discussion then closed. Bishop Porrsr next arose, and said that he would not express an opinion on either side, but he had endeavored to give a full and free opportunity to all parties concerned to express their sentiments and make any necessary ex- planations. He was suddenly interrupted by a motion to adjourn until the following day at nine o’clock, which was carried. \d earnestly uch Army Intelligence. A general Court Maxtial, consisting of ton officers of the army, of different ranks and regiments, is directed to con. vene at Fort Moultrie, S.C., on the 3d day of October next, for the trial of Lieutenant Otis H.

The troops which have lately been ordered to the Island of San Juan by General Harney, with those who have already been stationed there, are as follows:—Four companies (A, B,D and M) Fourth Infantry, one company of the Third Artillery, one company Ninth Infantry, and a detachment of eappers and miners. ‘This constitutes, by the Intest dates received, the actual force on San Juan; but it appears by late orders issued by Genoral Harney’ he has caused a much larger force to concentrate at the different posts adjacent, and only afew hours sail from San Juan. The available force serving in that region, and at his disposal, are the First regiment. Dragoons, a por. tion of the Third regiment of Artillery, Fourth and Ninth regiments of Infantry.

Sur. 20.—In the matter of the Habeas Corpus of Ella Whitten alias Ella Burns,—Deputy Superintendent Car- penter being sworn, deposed:—Mr. Cook was brought nto my office by Sergeant Lefferts; he desired me to give permission to the sergeant to serve the habeas corpus; he explained to me what it was for; I told him I had no ob- jections whatever to the sergeant serving it; I gave the sergeant directions, and then Mr. Cook proposed to acoom- pany him; to this I objected; Mr. Cook then intimated to me that bo was desirous of accompanying him for the purpose of taking the child by force; in reply, I told him that if that was his object I should give no permission to Lefferts or any other officer; I informed him that it was in violation of the law, it being, in fact, kidnapping, and that I would permit no officer to agsist in any such viola- tion; Mr. Cook then took the writ and left. Cross-examined—I am certain that he said that he was desirous of taking the child, and I inferred that he meant to obtain it by force; he said they wanted to get the child, and if he gaw it he would take it. ‘Re-examined—Nothing was said about using or omitting to use the writ in any possible cont mcy.

ARREST OF AN ALLEGED PickPockeT.—Last evening do- tective McCord arrested a man named Fisher, keeper of a doot and shoe store in Hudson street, under the alleged charge of robbing a man named Peter Metsler, of Key- port, of $2,000 in March last, by picking his pocket. It seems that Mr. Metsler was at tho timo getting into the cars at Jersey City, when he observed Fisher hanging about him, and shortly after missed his money. A few days ago he had occasion to go into a shoo store in Hud- son street, when he immediately identified Fisher as the man who robbed him. Upon inquiry he discovered that Fisher was the owner of the store, and had started busi- ness there a short time after the above occurrence. Officer McCord being called upon arrested Fisher, who is now held for examination. ‘Tae Orrra.—‘‘Don Giovanni” will be given this even- ing—the very last night of the season.

During the sum- mer months there has been a total suspension from the usual drills, and as it is now approaching tho season for the annual inspection and drill, our regiments generally make what is termed a “ preparatory drill,” when they go through the same course of instruction as they do at the regular inspection. Yesterday, the Seventh regiment, under the command of the newly elected commandant, Colonel Marehal Lefferts, paraded in fatigue dress, with knapsacks and one day’s rations, and proceeded to Bust New York, L.

The regiment returned to tho city at half-past five o'clock P.M., and made a very imposing parade in Broadway, and were afterwards dismissed opposite the Metropolitan Hotel. Ireland As It Was and As It Is. LECTURE BY THE REV. DR. EDGAR. Pursuant to announcement, a lecture on the above named subject was delivered last evening at the Cooper Institute by the Rev. Dr. Edgar, of the Presbyterian Mis- sion, one of the Irish delegation to this city. There were upwards of one thousand persons present, many of whom were ladies. Dr. Enaar was introduced to the aud ience, and pro- ceeded to address them. He began by saying he would not go into the early history of Ireland, but would confine himself to the occurrences of later years. The first part of his address referred to the depopulation of Ireland. He said that in 1811 Ireland had \a population of nearly six millions of people, extending aver 32,400 square miles, or twenty millions of acres. In 1841 it had 8,178,000, and in 1851, 6,650,000—1,650,000 less than thirty years ago.’ Between these ‘periods a dreadful calamity— the famine—fell upon Ireland, and the food of the people— the potato on which they existed—fell away to the extent of £16,000,000, and perished like the gourd of Jonah. Ho then proceeded to review the past and present condition of the Irish, and in the most energetic manner laid bare the sufferings, wrongs and degradation of Ireland. The awful scenes in the days of the famine were almost thea- trically delineated, and drew forth loud applause. After famine had done its worst, a poor deserted remnant es- caped from death, fled from Ireland to England, and thence to Scotland; and after enduring innumerable difi- culties there, made up their minds to return; but, alas! only to find the blackened ruins of what were once their homes. They had been burnt down to prevent the unfor- tunate people from occupying them. 35,400 ejectments were issued in one year from the taw courts of Ireland to burn out of house and home ono every thirty of the whole of the inhabitants of Ireland. ‘The reverend gentleman told a varicty of eee anecdotes illustrative of life in Ireland, amongst which were many which graphically painted the awful scenes of the famine. Dr. Edgar is what may be called a thorough Irishman in appearance, in feeling, and in his style of expression. His appeals on behalf of his country were powerful and forcible, and throughout his long and interesting address his audience never tired, but laughed and applauded him warmly. The lecture was very interesting in point of descriptive powers, as might have been noticed by the enthusiasm of the large number of persons present. Dr. Edgar will, we learn, reply to the attacks made upon the Irish revivals by the Catholic press, at the Cooper Institute on Sunday next. Coroners’ Inquests. Knixp sy 4 Drunken Faraxr.—Coroner Jackman was called upon yesterday to hold an inquest at No. 9 Rector street, upon the body of a little girl six years of age, named Mary E. Cannely, who died from the effects of in- juries received at the hands of her father, John Cannely, on Monday night. From the evidence before the Coroner it appeared that Cannely came home intoxicated, and picking up a fire shovel, flourished it over his wife’s head as if he meant to killher. Deceased noticing the move- ment sprang forward to calm her father, when she was struck in the head by the edge of the weapon and pros- trated to the floor. Medical aid was procured, but all ef- forts to save the life of the little one proved fruitless. She continued to sink gradually until yesterday, when sho expired. The jury in this case were favorably disposed towards the unfortunate father, for they rendered a ver- dict of death from injuries accidentally received, and did not attach any blame to the author of the mischief. ‘Venice Casvatty.—Patrick Mansfeld, a child about nine years of age, was accidentally killed at the corner of Forty-second street and Eleventh avenue, by being run over by a butcher’s cart. The driver, # appears, was unable to control his horso in consequence of a fright which the animal received atfseeing a train of cars on the Hudson River Railroad. An inquest. was held upon the body by Coroner O'Keefe, when the jury rendered a ver- dict of “Accidental death.”” ‘A Santor Forxn Drowsep.—The body of a sailor, ap- parently about thirty-five years of age, supposed to have been one of the crew of the British bark Forges, was found floating in the North river, at pier No. 5, yesterday.

The inquest in the case of the anknown man who was murdered at the corner of Worth and Little Water streeta on Tuesday evening, was concluded yesterday, at the Sixth precinct station house, by Coroner Schirmer. The testimony, which was quite voluminous, established a of either Jones or Farrell since the evening of the murder, notwithstanding the police made @ diligent search where- ever it was thought probable the suspected parties might be concealed.
