News from Europe to the 20th ult., brought by the Glasgow, which was intercepted off Cape Race on Sunday last, is published in to-day’s paper. The most important point of the intelligence by this arrival is the announcement of battles between the Sardinian and Papal forces. The despatch con- taining this news is brief, and gives no dates; but the fact is stated and confirmed that the Sardinians had captured Perugia and Spoletto, aud defeated the Papal Commander-inC-hief, General Lamori- e, with great loss. The proclamation of Vic- ve] to his troops just previous to their en- trance into the Marches, which we publish in con- nection with the news, shows clearly the attitude of the belligerents, and explains the position of Sar- dinia in the present crisis. Victor Emanuel, by in- terposing betweea the Papal power and the revo- Jutionary element headed by Garibaldi, not only does the work of the latter by annexing the States of the Church to Sardinia, but completely destroys Garibaldi's motives for invading the Pontifical dominions, and diverts his line of march from Rome to Venctia, where he would come in conflict with Austria. Neither Louis Napoleon nor Victor Emanuel has any desire or design.to overthrow the spiritual power of the Pope, but for the rule of Austria in Venetia there is no such exemption. At the last accounts the Sardinians, under Gen. Cialdini, were marching against Ancona; Garibaldi was ac tively engaged in organizing an army of 150,000 men, with which, assisted by a flotilla of five hun- dred vessels, he probably intends operating against Venetia. There was a report from Toulon that an insane man had made an attempt upon the life of the Emperor The Liverpool breadstuffs market was firm, and all descriptions had slightly advanced, while cotton remaiaed as before reported.

Spon reference to the money article in to-day's paper, it will be seen that the City Chamberlain has changed the place of deposit of the city reve nues from the Artisans’ Bank to the Park Bank, in consequence of difficulties which are well known to that portion of the public interested in the finan cial affairs of the city.

Judse Ingraham, in his charge to the Grand Jury in the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, re- ferred in mild, but reproving terms, to the recent act of the Legisiature in its interference with the law of punishment in capital cases. It appears that several committed criminals throughout the State remain unsentenced in consequence of the uncer- tainty of the law. The Judge also referred to the awful increase of crime in the city, no less than thirty persons being charged with homicides since May last. He did not wish, however, to be under- stood to charge that this catalogue of crime was occasioned by recent legislative enactments, The Grand Jury summoned to attend in the Gene- ral Sessions yesterday were discharged till next Monday, the Court of Oyer and Terminer being ia session. As there were no cases ready for trial, the Court adjourned till this morniug. The Police Commissioners yesterday dismissed officer Wright, of the Twe h precinct, for con duct unbeco: a member of the department. Mr. Kennedy reported to the Loard that the state- ment that a flag was presented to the Wide Awakes by the Thirteenth ward police was untrue, but gave no report ¢ he tax imposed on the clerk at headjuarters, and collected by one of the Su- pervisors Governor Mo vember 29, has appointed Thursd: for the annual Thani: 4 New York. The Governor's proclamation is given in another column. According to the City Inspector's report, there were 415 deaths in the city during the past week, a decrease of 67 a3 compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 7 less than occurred during the corresponding week last year. The re- capitulation table gives 3 deaths of diseases of the bones, joints, &c., 72 of the brain and nerves, 4 of the generative organs, 11 of the heart and blood vessels, 110 of the lungs, throat, &c., 7 of old age, 25 of diseases of the skin and eruptive fevers, 6 premature births, 117 of diseases of the stomach, bowels and other digestive organs, 53 of general fevers, 2 of diseases of the urinary organs, 3 unknown, and 21 from violent causes. The nativity table gives 268 natives of the United States, 88 of Ireland, 24 of Germany, 3 of Scotland, 13 of England, and the balance of various foreign countries, ‘The cotton market was quite steady yesterday, while the sales reached about 2,000 bales, closing upon the basis of 10%¢. 8 10%. for middling uplands.

On this day week, in the Pennsylvania State election, the issue of this Presidential contest will, in all probability, be determined. While the friende of Foster, the popular Union demo- cratic candidate for Governor, are encouraged to hope and labor for a brilliant triumph, the republicans are straining every nerve, without as well as within the State, to secure themselves against a threatened defeat. They profess to be sanguine of a heavy majority; but with the elements of a large outstanding conservative surplus vote aguinst them, their promises must be founded, to a great extent, upon mere con- Jectures. An intelligent Philadelphia correspondent has informed us that both Mr. Curtin, the re- publican or people's candidate for Governor, and General Cameron, recently said that, “ if it were not for the Presidential contest, in the immediate rear of our Governor's election, Foster would beat our man by twenty thou- sand.” We are further assured that “ both wings of the democracy, and at least nine- tenths of the Bell-Everett men, are earnest ly for any course” which will save the State, and turn the tide of the gene ral campaign. The Pennsylvania October election of 1856 was carried by the democracy single banded over the combined republicans and Americans. Now, with even half the American vote, or*one-third of it, co-operating with the Gemocracy in their common cause against the republicans, the State will be re- deemed by a decisive majority. It appears. too, that, as if to drive the old line Union whigs and Americans over to the side of Foster, the republican Wide Awakes have lost no opportu- nity to insult aud deride the Bell Everett or ganization. We are also iaformed from respectable sources (hat the republican Gaancial clubs of Boston, Providence and other New Eagland cities, warned of the necessity, have been send- ing on their remittances to Philadelphia by hun- dreds and thousands of dollarsto aid in the work of buylog up all the available loose ma- terials of the popular vote of the “Old Key- to wake good the election of Curtin as Governor. The republican financiers of New England fee! perfectly safe at home. With pro- per management oa the other side the follow- ers of Lincoln in that quarter would have had their haods full in their efforts to save Rhode Island and Connecticut. But alas! that old New England democratic clique of musty, mildewed and utterly corrupt spoilemen, the headquarters of which is the office of the Boston Post, have done the work for the enemy, from Maine to Long Island Sound. Hence it is that, being “all right” at bome, the New England financiers in the cause of Lincoln are free to spend their funds to save the doubtful State of Pennsylvania. For the last twenty years the most insatiable bloodsuckers of the democracy have been those canning and remorseless horseleeches who have managed the party in New England. Ia this connection, if all the federal spoils from democratic administrations wasted upon this Boston Pos! family of party pensioners had been divided, from time to time, among a pew set of NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1860. men, we dare eay that instead of being to-day « contemptible clique of mere office beggars, “‘con- veniently emall,” the democracy of Massachu- setts and the adjoining States would be a pow- erful and respectable party. As it is, the pen- sioner of the Boston Post, with all the paltry sophistries and fulse pretences of the old spoils- man, has all the insolence of the successful cbarlataa. Foraey, the Chevalier Ferney, of the Phila- deipbia Press, whose vocation it has been to save tae democratic party by filling b's owa pockets, is nother specimen ps... of the game achool, Turned drift by Mr. Buchanan, who cov satisfy his inordinate demands fo p! spoils and plunder, Forney, at th : price of the Clerk- sbip of Congress, sold himself to the black re- publicans. We think it very probable that a con- siderable proportion of these late New England 1epublican remittances to Pennsylvazia has gone into Forney’s bands; and if so, we think it may turn out, after the election, that he has burned the vouchers of his disbursements, as in the matter of his expenditures in 1550, accord- ing to his confessions before the Covode Com- mittee. If the money raising republicans. how- ever, are satisfied with Forney as their disburs- ing Pennsylvania agent, we have no complaiat to make. He can, at al! events, prove to them that “fools and their money are soon parted.” On the other hand, the dregs of the old Forney democratic clique of Philadelphia may still be found around the office of that starveling depend ant upon the crumbs and scraps of federal spoils, the Pennsylvanian. What itis that keeps that mizerable party organ alive, since the loss of its gratuities from the Post Office blanks, we cannot conjecture, unless it is the contributions received by it for the democratic cause. At all events we submit that no contributions from New York, intended to aid the cause of Foster in Pennsylvania, should be entrusted to a dia bursing agent who has no other visible means of support. Doubtless a judicious expenditure ofa liberal supply of funds may bring over a large proportion of the floating vote of Pena- sylvania to the Union candidate for Governor on Tuesday next. We look more, however, to the prevailing and active conservative eenti- ment of the people of that State for a good re- sult than to any of these doubtful election- eering appliances of a five dollar bill here und there. In fine, if, with an overwhelming conserva- tive popular majority in the Keystone State against the revolutionary, aggressive, anti- slavery programme of the black republicans, she shall fail on Tuesday next to speak ont sgainst them, we may as well give up the general battle, for the chances are that from that opening it will be lost. On the contrary, let Pennsylvania do her duty in October, and New York and New Jersey will join her in November. The conservative forces have the popular majority in each of these States, but it devolves upon them in Pennsylvania to lead the way to victory. Important from Europe—Victory of the Sardinians in the Papal States. The news from Italy received here by the Glasgow, off Cape Race yesterday, is of a very significant character, and may impart an entirely new aspect to the revolutionary move- ment in the Italian peninsula. The troops of the King of Sardinia have entered the Roman States, captured Perugia and Spoletto, afid de- feated the Pope's army under Lamoriciere with great loss. In this movement we recog- nise the policy of Napoleon and Victor Ema- nuel to head off, as it were, the revolutionary action of Garibaldi, and take upon themselves the settlement of the Roman question, the knottiest in all the affairs of Italy. Garibaldi, fresh from the conquest of Sicily and Naples, bad avowed his intention to deliver the people of the Papal dominions, and then, turning his attention to Venetia, annex them both to con- federated Italy. In the ordinary course of things nothing short of this would constitute the full consummation of his revolutionary mission. But revolution had gone far enough in working out the problem of Italian unity, and it was manifestly the policy of Napoleon and Victor Emanuel to dispose of the Papal difficulty according to the programme laid down in Napoleon’s famous pamphlet, issued before the Italian war. ‘The advance of the Sardinian army into the Roman States, and the defeat of Lamoriciere. have paved the way for the accomplishment of this design. There is nothing left for the Pope now but to content himself within the walls of Rome, or such portion of his States in immedi- ate contiguity to the Eternal City as may be de- cided upon, while the other States will take their place in the Italian confederation under Victor Emanuel. Thus the plan laid dowa by Napoleon will have been carried out almost with as much precision as if he had superin- tended the affairs of Italy in person But it is rot to be supposed that this settle- ment of the Italian question is the quietus of revolution in Southern Europe. ‘The fire kia- dled by the brave Garibaldi cannot be extin- guished ao easily. There are other unsatisfied nationalities affording fuel enough to spread the flames. Germany, disjointed as she is under her thirty petty princes, stimulated by the ex- ample of the Garibaldi movement, may seek a consolidation similar to that which Italy bas acquired. Hungary and the other Austrian provinces may be aroused in like manner; and indeed they are ripe for it at the present mo ment; and while a portion of the Italian penin- sula remains under the rule of the Hapsburge there is no guarantee against the spread of revo- jution in that quarter. The stipulations of Vil- lafranca with regard to Venetia are not Likely to be very religiously observed by such a rest- jees element as Garibaldi controls, aad Austrian rule will hardly be tolerated any longer in any part cf Italy. We may, therefore, look forward to a continuance of war and revolution ia Ea- rope for some time to come. Tor Tave Mo catine Cason patres.—It will be seen by a reference to our advertising columns that the taxpayers in the Seventeenth Assembly district, becoming dis- gusted with the peculations of the cliques and combinations that control the several party or- genizations of this city, have at length taken their affairs in their own hands, and taken a practical step towards repudiating the grogshop politicians, by recommending Sydney P. In- grabam as@ candidate for Assembly in that district. This is a step in the right direction; it is the true mode of nominating, and the only way that they can remove the clutches of the pro- fessional and pothouse politicitns who have so long had full eway in thie city. If Mozart Hall to save herself from defeat she will ea- @orse‘him. Whether endorsed by that party or not, he is already in the field, nominated by the people, and, as their candidate, will run for the Legislature. This is the correct mode of bringing out candidates. There is no euch thing as the barroom or men from the lowest pits of some old “coal hole” finding their way to Albany by nominations made ia this form; apd when elected they have no ba:- gains with the tools of the lobby to fulfil, bat are left free to look after the true interests of the districta which they represent. Let the tax- payers in every district, irrespective of former party affiliations, unite and bring out their can- didates in this form, and the professional trad- ing politicians will be soon deprived of their business, and the curse removed from our midst. The Movement of the Wide Awakes and the Counter Movement. Captain Rynders has called a preliminary meeting of the heads of democratic clubs at Tammany Hall, this evening, to get up @ counter demonstration, to rival, if not to eclipse, the gathering of the Wide Awakes to-morrow evening in thia city. This is all right aa far as it goes, but it will not do either to make Tammany Hall the centre of the move. ment or to confine the pepular demonstration to the limits of the Old Wigwam. Let the Sachems and the followers of Tammany join, if they please, in a general movement of all the conservative elements of the city; but to origi- vate it in that concern, and to carry it out exclusively by its leaders, would result in cer- tain failure. That there is an overwhelming majority of conservatives in this city opposed to the elec- tion of Lincoln is beyond all question. It is only necessary to organize and to marshal them in a proper manner to demonstrate the fact. The black republicans could not rely upon their numbers in New York to make a show, but call in the Wide Awakes of New England to swell their ranks. The object of these tactics is deception, to give a false idea to the public of the numbers favorable to the black republican cause in this city, just on the eve of the Pennsylvania election, which takes place next Tuesday. The intention is to influ. ence the reault in that important contest. It is hardly necessary to tell any of our readers who retide in thie commercial metro- polis that it has always given a large majority against the anti slavery fanatics, and that it will give a larger one now than it has ever given before, as the sue is now more clearly defined, and as a dangerous crisis has arisen which will bring out the re- serve vote in all itsstrength. The popular ma- jority against Fremont in this city in 1856 was upwards of 44,000. It willbe impossible to get up such an enthusiasm for Lincoln as was raised for Fremont, who was o Southern man, the explorer of the pass to California through the Rocky Mountains, a maz of education and talent, and a conservative who had never com- mitted himself to the revolutionary priacipies which are now put forward by the republican party. At that time their designs were not de- veloped, and Fremont was supported by many conservative men. This will be all reversed now, and no conservative will cast a ballot for Lincoln, who will probably be beaten by sixty thousand majority. Everybody in New York knows this, and none better than the republican leaders, whose object ia to pro- duce an effect at a distance, and particularly ia Pennsylvania. But let the conservative masses of all denominations rally in a counter demon- stration under the banner of the Union, and they will far exceed in numbers the Wide Awake procession, no matter how swelled it may be by brethren of the order from other cities. Thus will the trick of the black repub- ican feaders not only be defeated, but the tables be turned against them, and their cun- ning devices become foolishness. Waat tr Costs ror Provogs’ Batts—Tae Javanese Bux Nor so Far Ovr or raz War Avren Aut.—Every one will remember what an immenee noise was made in the papers and else- where when the sum total of the reception of the Japanese Ambassadors first broke upon the astonished gaze of the taxpaying portion of the public. The amount was declared to be enor- mous, and the Aldermen were denounced as robbers, or, at least, unconscionable ewin- dlers. The public voice was raised to such a pitch of indignation that the affrighted Alder- men hid the awful documents in the inmost re- cesses of their breeches pockets, and there they slumber for the present. Well, at the time when the Japanese score was made known, we shared, to some extent, in the general feeling on the subject, and joined in the unanimous call for the items. Buyin the meantime, and pending the production of the items, we have another princely star in the western horizon, and for his reception things are to be bet- ter mansged. With the ball in honor of the Prince of Wales, the Aldermen, Councilmen and city government generally have nothing todo. A committee of four hundred citizens manage the affair and pay for it out of their own pockets. Noteven the ghost of an Alder- man will be permitted to walk ia Irving place during the night of the /ée, which will be un- doubtedly a grand republican greeting to royalty. As to the matter of money, however, our experience as a committeeman for the Prince's ball leads us to believe that the Alder- men were not so far out of the way as people think, The original estimates for the cost of the ball to the Prince of Wales were that its expense could be covered by an assessment of seventy dollars upon each subscriber, makiag @ total of twenty-eight thousand doliars. Now it is ascertained that an additional tax of thirty dollars will be requisite, which brings the ex- pense of the affair up to forty thousand dollars. Tn this ball only four thousand persons will participate, making the per capita cost ten dol- lar. Now if we take the census of the Japanese ball we shall find that no less than twelve thousand persons attended it, and, according to the Irving place ratio, it might have cost one hundred and twen- ty thousand dollars. Add to this the hotel ex- penses of the Princes, their suite and the Naval Commission—nearly one bundred persons all told—and we should bave a bill of one hundred and fifty or sixty thousand dollars. Now, all that the Aldermen ask for is one hundred and five thousand dollars, which is a clear saving of 4 matter of fifty thousand. We have no doubt that the ball to the Prince of Wales will be a magnificent affair—the most splendid public féte that New York bas ever seen; and as to the matter of ite cost, that fs, of comrse, 8 secondary consideration. And that It could not be properly done for lees money, we have the best evidence in the fact that the Hon. Massa Greeley and the Chevalier H. Jenkins Raymond are members of the Irving Place Committee. Doubtless their experiences in this way will induce them to join with usin eug- gesting that the Japanese bill shall be settled before it has chance to grow any larger. Then we can proceed with our own little affair, with the proud consciousness of having paid up old scores before incurring new ones. Tar Por Cauumo rue Kerrie Brick.— There is a curious controversy going on be- tween the Journal of Commerce and the Cou- rier and Enquirer. The Journal asaails the re- publican journals, and eays “ the spirit of abo- litionism is intensely msligaant.” The Cou- rier courteously retorts that the Journal must, therefore, be malignant above all others, inas- much as it is the original organ of abolition. ism. For once the Courier has hit the nail on the head. It ia perfectly true that the Journal was established by the Tappans, in conjunc: tion with its present proprietor, as an abolition organ, the first daily paper in this State which espoused the anti-slavery cause. It has changed sides, because in this great conservative city its principles would not pay. But its con- ductors hold the same opinions aiill, and are only playing a bypocritical part when they say anything against abolitionism. In va- rious ways Aminidab Sleek reveals its true character. For instance, it is always sympa- thizing with blacks and getting up subscrip- tions to purchase their freedom, which is a stab at the very heart of the Southern institutions: If the Journal regarded negro slavery as bene- ficent to the slave and beneficial to the white man, it would not advocate the collection of money to pay the ransom of the bondsmen. It therefore stands condemned by its own words and acts. It is a dissimulator. It is of the true puritanical, malignant stamp; its senti- menta in favor of the tyrannical Sunday laws enacted by a black republican Legislature show in what direction its sympathies lie. Iu ita zeal fer the dogmas of puritanism this wolf in sheep's clothing calls those journals “infidel’’ which will not chime in with its anti-Christian cant and fanaticism. There can be no doubt, therefore, that it is a blue light abolition organ in disguise, still secretly true to its first love aud to its well known antecedents, Tat Pamce Comme Eastwarp.—We left the Prince only the other day shooting partridges on the prairies of Illinois. Since that time he bas been whirled through the Sucker State to St. Louis, thence crossing Indiana and part of Ohio to Cincinnati. Yesterday he proceeded to Pittsburg. To-day he crosses the Allegha- nies, and sleeps to-night at Harrisburg. Pretty good travelling. that,and our British cousins undoubtedly open their eyes a little wider than usual at the celerity, safety and comfort which our railway managers can combine for their customers if they choose so todo. And upon this point we have a few words to say, by way of parenthesis. The regulations for the Prince’s trains have been published, and we trust that they will be kept before the people. Such rules have always been ceeded on all our railways, and if they had been sooner adopted, many serious casualties would have been prevented. For example, the larger proportion of railway “accidents” come under the dezomination of collisions. These cannot occur when the pre- cautions taken for the Prince are used. Now what we wish to know is, whether or not there is apy good reason why the same attention should not be paid to the life of every passen- ger—prince or peasant. It may be alleged that the Prince pays better than other people. True. But isit not also the fact that the compa- nies lose more money in time, in costs and dam- ages, in the destruction of their rolling stock by negleeting proper precautions, than the ex- pense of taking them would amount to! We suggest this point as one worthy of serious consideration. As for the reception of the Prince in the United States, it has been very cordial, and, so far as we can learn, not at all snobbish. Io the prairies he roughed it in the usual style of sportemen. At St. Louis he had no formal reception, but was loudly cheered by the peo- ple as he proceeded from the steamboat to the hotel. On the Fair grounds the Prince was handsomely received and a good deal atared at; but that is one of the penalties which royalty has to pay for its luxuries, such as having all the pretty girls dying to be introduced, and so on. The upper porcine and whiskey circles of Cincinnati seem to have got themselves into a tremendously select and aristocratic state of mind about the Prince. They gave him a ball, which must have been an exquisite affair, ac- cording toall accounts. The “creme de la creme of Cincinnati society sat in the parquette,” we are told, and the managers selected the part- ners for the Prince. It seems that even the creme de la creme was not quite up to the mark of princely society, as we hear of “awkward- ness,” “over dressing,” “embarrassment,” and a general I-would-rather-be-any-where-else- than-bere feeling chilled the whole affair. The creme de la creme were too aristocratic to think of eating and drinking. So they gave the Prince a few quaérilles in their second story opera house, and sent him supperless to bed. However, there are some things that they can do in the West; and if the giving of balls is not one of their strong points, it would be hard to beat their big rivers, prairies, eplendid cities, and soon. So we trust that the Cincinaati creme will not turn sour, and mourn as one without hope. When the Prince gets to Wash- ington and New York he will hare an oppor- tunity of seeing what the polite society of the country is made of.
