English, supposed to bo “Left Hand,” ia visiting 
the ranches on Cherry Creek, warning the owners 
against tbe KiowaB, who threaten to cutoff the 
settlers, and if possible destroy Denver. Several 
meetings have been held In the mountains with 
reference to the formation of a government. The 
general feeling among tbe miners is in favor of 
tbe old provisional government, and there is some 
talk of holding an election under it But little 
interest is manifested concerning tbe presidential 
enced at the 
warm and enthusiastic reception the 
Prince of Wales has met with in her North Ameri¬ 
can Provinces. 
The Great Eastern averaged about 14 knots per

The Steamer Lady Elgin, of the Lake Superior 
Line, left Chicago on the night of the 7th, and 
was run into by the schooner Augusta, off Wauke¬

er sunk in twenty minutes, in 300 feet of water.

NAri.EB AND fiiCH.y. —The Royal Intendant of 
Polinesa, wus at tho head of the insurrection in 
the province of Basllitea. The Chiefs of the Na¬ 
tional Guards of Naples, had tendered their resig¬ 
nations in consequence of the foreign battalion 
not having disbanded. 
The invasion of Calabria by Garibaldi is fully 
confirmed. The town of Rcgiosliad been attacked 
aud taken by Garibaldi. Four thousand Cala¬ 
brian insurgents had joined the Garlbaldians. A 
general battle with the Neapolitans was imminent 
Four hundred and fifty volnnteers for Garibaldi, 
from Parma, were obliged to return from Genoa. 
Turin advices state that the Provisional Gov¬ 
ernment had been established at Faggia, capital 
of the Capitanata, one of the Neapolitan States. 
Gen. Basco, with Neapolitan forces, was at Mon- 
teteonc. 
Disturbances at Naples were imminent Ap¬ 
peals to the people to revolt were being publicly 
distributed. The Neapolitan Minister of War and 
known—indeed there ia scarcely a ton piled up 
for want of buyers. The little that Is done In that 
way is from some other cause. Of course prices 
are firm. Already the sources of supply have sent 
forward nearly five miUions of tons, being an In¬

manded. Relations between the two countries 
continue interrupted. Lord P. also referred, in 
disparaging terms, to the Suez Canal scheme, a 
large number of shares in which had been taken 
by the Pasha of Egypt, and stated that the French 
government had declared that they had nothing 
to do with the scheme. 
In the Commons, on the 25th, Lord Palmerston 
said there was no truth in the statement that 
Austria had threatened to support Naples. She 
adhered to non-intervention till her own frontiers 
were threatened. Lord P. acknowledged the ser¬ 
vices rendered the Christians in Syria by Abd-el- 
Kader, and said the British Consul had been in¬ 
structed to tender to him the thunks of the British 
government Lord I', also said that the govern¬ 
ment had no information relative to the intention 
of France to establish a fort on the Lake of Gene¬ 
va, and explained the position of the Savoy ques¬ 
tion, the session having not yet been recognized 
and personal baggage only. Gen. Cossenz, with 
a considerable force, had crossed the straits at 
Piumickino, and two Neapolitan brigades surren¬ 
dered to him at discretion. 
The Garibaldians were masters of Fort Delpye- 
zo. They also, after a short fight, occupied Villa 
San GiobannL The defection of the army of 
Naples was considered extremely probable, and 
it was hoped that Garibaldi would enter the city 
in triumph, without bloodshed. Conflicts had 
taken place between the Neapolitan troops and 
some Bersaglieri who ^landed from Sardinian 
vessels. 
An English steamer, the Orfal, from Hull, with 
passengers for Messina, was seized by the passen¬ 
gers while the captain was ashore at Genoa. It 
is supposed that the passengers were friends of 
Garibald. The vessel was chartered under a pen¬ 
ally of $5,000 against seizure, and the inference 
is that she was not assigned for Garibaldi. 
Sardinia prohibits any more embarking of vol¬ 
nnteers at Genoa for Sicily. 
Austria.— The Emperor of Austria and King 
of Wurtemburg, were about to have an interview. 
The reconciliation of Austria and Russia is said 
to have been fully accomplished. 
The Cologne Gazette publishes a Vienna letter, 
which says that the Austrian note relative to 
Garibaldi’s expedition will shortly be forwarded. 
Russia.— Notwithstanding the rains and locusts 
the harvest will he the most abundant for years. 
The Emperor of Russia gave a grand banquet in 
honor of the Emperor of Austria’s birthday, and 
proposed Francis Joseph’s health in the most 
friendly terms.

news is unimportant. Large bodies of rebels, 
who took refuge in the jungle near Bkwsward,

Lord Elgin and Baron Gross had gone to the
