Garibaldi had met further success in Calabria, and been proclaimed Dictator at Potenza.

Large numbers of Calabrians were joining him. Disturbances at Naples were imminent, and appeals to the people to revolt were openly distributed. General Eosco had left Naples for Calabria, with six battalions reinforcements. The Pope, it is said, has expressed his readiness to aree to an Italian Confederation. The ex-Governor of Beyrout has been convicted by Fuad Pacha of high treason.

The Greek Minister of War has resigned. The weather in Trance was magniticent, and its continuance for a fortnight would cause an extraordinarily fine vintage.

ONE DAY LATER. The steamship Bohemian passed Father Point on Monday evening, en route for Quebec. Her dates, via Londonderry are to the 31st ult. The news is not of special importance. The Paris correspondent of the London Post telegraphs that it does not appear that the proposal to make the city of Naples neutral has the slightest chance of success.

The London Daily Notes says it is reported that, according to a Banker's dispatch received this afternoon, 30th, there is a fall of 10 per cent, in the Neapolitan funds. The Great Eastern, after being gridironed at Milford Haven, will leave that port for New York, Oct. 17. The Times Paris correspondent remarks that the demand of the French government, on account of the recent outrage on their Embassador at Naples, cannot be viewed otherwise than as a lift to Garibaldi and the revolution.

The Genoese Jounes of to-day publishes the following report On Monday last, the Neapolitan Generals, assembled in council, had, with the exception of General Bosco, unanimously resolved to advise the King to take his departure from the city.

The Bteamship Asia arrived at New York on Thursday, with dates, via Qneenstown, to the 2d inst. We have but a brief report of her news. Naples was tranquil. Garibaldi had quitted Calabria. His destination is unknown.

It is reported that he had entered Monteleone. The weather had been more favorable for crops. Breadstuffs had a declining tendency. LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. St.

Steamer llrenville, from Havana, 7th, has arrived. The steamer Osceola has arrived at Havana, from Truxillo, with the intelligence that a British war agined. Until nearly noon did we wander about to different points of view, the sky continually grow ing clearer, and the view more extensive, and then prepared ourself for a walk down the opposite side to that we ascended, to visit the romantic little Lakes of the Clouds. The view from the summit of ML Washington, 6285 feet above the level of the sea, is grand be yond description. Far to the north the peak of Katahdn, the loftiest mountain in Maine, rises abruptly among the dense forests.

To the south east we have the valley of the Saco, Mts. Kear- sarge and Chocorua, Lakes Sebago and Lovell and the ocean. The south shows us the Franco- nia range and Lake Winnepiseogee, with its numerous islands, Bnugly cradled among the majestic hills that surround it To the west, the valley of the Connecticut, and the Green Mountains, with Mansfield and Camel's Hump most promin ent These are the principal views, but there is no direction in which you cannot see a prospect well worth gazing at At about 2 o'clock P. the sky was entirely free from clouds, and we took the road leading to the Crawford House, as we set out upon our excursion. AVe went about a mile and a half, and found ourselves some 1500 feet below the summit, and near the peak of Mt Monroe, which rises to the west of the path, quite abruptly, being at its highest point 5300 feet above the sea level.

Our time did not permit of a walk to its top, as we proposed to return in season to witness the Bunset from the Tip-Top House. The Lakes of the Clouds are situated at the extreme side of quite an extensive plateau between Mts. Monroe and Washington, and form the source of the Ara-monoosuc River, flowing towards the northwest The smaller of the two is some twenty feet higher than the other. The water is clear and cold, but not very deep. In several places we heard the gur gling of little streams by which they are fed, flowing among the rocks under our feet The view from this point is extended and beau tiful.

The Gulf of Mexico, the name given to a monstrous ravine between Monroe and Washing ton, and extending to the northwest, is here seen to great advantage. We spent some little time here, and then clam bered back to the summit. Here we witnessed the splendor of a clear sunset on Mt. Washington. It is useless to attempt its description.

Nothing that we have ever gazed upon could equal the magnificence of this scene. The clouds showing forth every shade and tint of gorgeous purple and crimson, the distant mountains, tipped with blue, and resembling the waves of the storm- tossed ocean, the innumerable lakes and streams reflecting the parting rays of the sun, the shadow of Mt Washington, traversing the country with incredible speed, and standing out as clear and distinct as a pyramid, which it much resembled in shape, all combined to constitute a view once seen never to be forgotten. The moon, which was almost at its full, rose some time before sunset. At about nine o'clock it was in such a position that we could plainly discern the ocean by the reflection of its rays. The light in Portland harbor was also distinctly seen without a telescope.

The moonlight view- was very fine, and we enjoyed it to the full, before retiring for the night. More fortunate than we had hoped to be, the day pfevious, we found the sky clear on the morning of the 31st, and were enabled to crown our White Mountain experience by a fine sunrise. It was interesting to watch the gradual approach of morning, the spread of the auroral light, the first lighting up of the lofty mountain peaks, and the slow retreat of the shadows down their sides, and, finally, the lightening up of the valleys and the lifting of the fog banks which marked out, more plainly than we could trace them in the clear light of day, the winding streams and rivers and numerous ponds and lakes visible from where we stood. It was a fitting termination to the glorious views of the day previous, and we prepared for our descent, well pleased with this brief experience of White Mountain life. As showing the uncertainty of the will add that, before reaching the ledge, the top of the mountain was once more covered with clouds, and we did not see it again through the day.

The prospect of a storm caused us to cut short our contemplated trips to several points of interest in the vicinity, and we took the cars for Portland on our return, Friday afternoon. THE KEFOHM SCHOOL. Gov. Banks has sent in an address to the Exec utive Council, in which, after enumerating the charges against the officers of the Institution, he refers to the answer of the Trustees specifies what he considers their error in regard to the purpose and management of the school says that the committee of the Council relied upon their own observation and the admissions of the Superintendent, in forming their report and concludes as follows Neither is it true that the executive branch of (he government has been actuated by feelings of prejudice or sentiments of hostility to the Kefonn School. I have visited many Institutions with members of different councils, and I have never accompanied gentlemen who were less inclined to criticise or censure.

than the councillors who made the late official visit to West borough. Ihey not only made no complaints, but thev exnrwssed without reservation their gratifica tion with the appearance of the school. I announced to the boys the approval of the visitors, in which I heartily coiicurrcu, ami subsequently requester one oi the councillors myself to express to the officers our gratification with the visit. It was after this had occurred that we were accidentally made acquainted with the most important and material facts connected with the institution and its management. I desire to make no reflection whatever upon the gentlemen who are connected with the school.

I differ with them in regard to its management, and upon as mature and deliberate consideration as I have I wen able to give to any subject connected with the government of the State, I am clearly of opinion, that there should be a material modification both in the management and the spirit in which it is administered, and in concurrence with the unanimous opinion of the Council, I nominate for its consideration the gentlemen whose names are subjoined for the office of Trustees: George C. Davis, of Northborough, Carver Hotchkiss, of Shelbunie, Julius A. Palmer, of Boston, Henry Chickerhig, of Pitts-field, George W. Bent ley, of Worcester, and Aldcn Iceland, of Holliston, to be Trustees of the State Reform School at West boron gli, in place of Parley Hammond, of Worcester, Simon Brown, of Concord, Thomas A. Greene, of New Bedford, Josiah H.

Temple, of Fra-minghain, Ilcnry W. of Bcrnardston, and Juilson S. Brown, of Fitchburg, removed. At a meeting of the Council, on Saturday last, the above nominations were confirmed. The Board of Trustees, with the exception of Theodore Lyman, of Brookline, is thus entirely reconstructed.

THE MOROCCO MANUFACTURE OF LYNN. A full history of the manufacture of morocco in Lynn, is published in the Bay State, from which it appears that the number of persons carrying on the moroeco business in Lynn is 22. The number of hands employed is 340 male, 309 female, 31. The number of goat and sheep skins manufactured is 1,041,000 of that number only about 125,000 are sheep skins. The amount of business done in the year 1859 was $095,000.

The amount of capital invested is $180,000. This does not include buildings for manufacturing purposes. Lynn is, at the present time, says the Bait State. the largest morocco manufacturing city in the United States, with one exception Philadelphia; and its location near Boston, and in the heart of the shoe trade, together with its admirable facilities for carrying on the business, must make it hereafter, at no distant time, as noted for making Morocco as it is for ladies shoes. It contributes in a greater degree, in proportion to its magnitude, to the general prosperity of the city, than the shoe business, as all of the workmen employed reside within its limits, spending or investing their earnings where they receive them.

It is also worthy of notice, that the wages of the journeymen morocco-dresRers have not been subject to such serious fluctuations as have the wages of the journeymen shoemakers the morocco manufacturers, for many years past, having acted upon the principle that it was better to cut short work than to cut down wages. The good results of this system must be obvious to every one. It should also be stated, that but a small pro IEWS AND MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENTS. BOSTON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 15, 1860.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK. Our foreign advices by the Bohemian are brought down to the 31st ult. The speecn ot tne Queen, at the prorogation of Parliament is much after the usual form, and contains little of real importance. The Great Eastern arrived home on the 26th, and it was announced would sail for New York on the 17th of October. The weather in Great Britain was more favorable.

Garibaldi had met with further success in Calabria. A pro posal to make the city of Naples neutral meets no favor. A doubtful rumor states that the king has taken refuge on the frigate Stromboli, and the Piedmontese occupied the forts. Ihe entry of Garibaldi into Naples may be looked for any day. The French government is considered to iavor Garibaldi.

The Pope, it is said, has expressed himself ready to agree to an Italian Confederation. Another slaughter of Christians is reported, the authorities of the place, Gasko in Herzegovina, being unable to prevent it The pony express brings our record of Califor nia news, in which there is little of interest, to the 29th ult. The political excitement in the State is very high and bitter. The State Conventions of the four parties will be held at San Francisco between the 2d and 11th of September. Agricultural accounts represent an unprecedented yield.

Mexican dates are to the Jd inst. A revolu tion was progressing in Chihuahua, in which the Church party were successful. The liberal officers were deposed, and had fled to New Mexico. The liberal party were rapidly advancing on the city of Mexico, where Miramon is concentrating his forces. We hear of a project for reinstating Co-monfort as President of Mexico.

Gen. Walker's career of Central America ap pears to be about at an end. He had evacuated Truxillo, by order of a British vessel of war, and his force was reduced to twenty-five men. Later advices somewhat modify this report. Four of his men arrived at New Orleans on Monday, and report the enemy in pursuit of Walker.

The fate of his party is unknown. Our political news is interesting. The election in Maine, last Monday, resulted in the choice of the entire Republican ticket, by an increased ma jority over last year. The Republican majority in the Legislature is very large. Additional returns from Vermont indicate that the Republican majority will be increased over last year.

The Legislature is largely Republican. An attempt at fusion between the two wings of the Democratic party in New York appears to have met with ill success. The Governor has appointed an entirely new Board of Trustees to the Reform School, with one exception. The inauguration of the statue of Com. Perry, at Cleveland, took place on Monday.

A large crowd witnessed the ceremonies. A terrible steamboat disaster is reported on Lake Michigan. Nearly 300 lives were lost by the collision of the steamer Lady Elgin and the schooner Augusta. On Wednesday three political conventions were held in this State. The Breckinridge party in Connecticut held their State Convention on the same day.

We give an account of their doings in the appropriate place. The Mechanics' Exhibition is now open, and bids fair to excel any previous display of the kind. General Houston has withdrawn from the field as a Presidential candidate. The- weather, last Friday and Saturday, was sultry and oppressive, but Sunday morning was chilly and uncomfortable, and it has since continued quite cool. Heavy showers fell, on Wednesday afternoon and evening.

Thursday morning was clear but cool. Autumn seems to have fairly begun. TRIP TO THE WHITE MOUNTAINS II. Thursday morning, Aug. 30th, after a comfortable night's rest, we arose to find the sun well up, and the clouds still hanging about the top of the mountain, but much lighter and dryer than on the previous day, and the prospect of a suc cessful termination of the persistent struggles of the sun to break through the fog was highly encouraging.

While waiting for a glimpse through the clouds, let us take a survey of the two buildings which crown the summit of Mt. Washington, the Summit and Tip-Top Houses. The Summit House, some few feet lower than the Tip-Top House, was erected in 1852. Its walls are laid up with rough stones, and the crev ices "pointed" with mortar. To secure the roof from destruction by the fierce storms that howl around the top of the mountain, it was bound down to the solid rock by several large cables.

The largest part of the building is taken up by two large rooms, each heated by a stove, and from which open the bedrooms of which we spoke last week. The tops and sides of the rooms we found ceiled with common cotton cloth. A spare, unfinished room, used formerly for a kitchen, runs the entire width of the north end. The size of this building is about 40 by 20 feet. The mate rials were all dragged up the mountain, by the bridle path, as the carriage road had not then been constructed, and the task was one-of great difficulty.

The Tip-Top House was built some years later, and is some twenty feet longer than the other building, but about the same width. It is secured to the rock by iron bolts. Here are the dining-room, kitchen and bar-room. The num ber of guests is very large, and increasing each year. The landlord informed us that on one day, this season, he had two hundred and twenty-five people dine with him.

It was a little late in the season when we were there, and the weather not favorable, but there were nearly fifty visitors the first day, some thirty the second, and we passed quite a party from the Glen House, on our way down. Our bill of fare comprised coffee, tea, milk, ham, steak, trout, fresh eggs, bread, and various unlooked for delicacies in the shape of cake and preserves. The price of board we found $4 a day, or $1 for a single meal not unreasonable, when we consider the expense of getting up provisions and fuel. By a chance question at the breakfast table, we learnt that the milk set before us was goat's milk, it having been found difficult to bring cow's milk up the rough path without churning it, at least, that was the reason given. A part of the herd of goats we saw at the Ledge, where they are kept.

Just as we were placing the finishing touches to a letter from the Tip-Top House, at about 9 o'clock, our companion, who was intently gazing from the window, startled us by the exclamation, "There it comes and vanished through the doorway without further comment. We followed him. and found the "it" referred to the sun, which we could see would not much longer remain hidden. We quickly took a favorable position behind a sheltering pile of stone, and in a few moments obtained a view that could never have been excelled. The mists, which were sweeping around us, rolled grandly down the sides of the mountain, and then, lifting and floating away, the whole valley of the Saco, Lovell's Pond, Sebago Lake, and the ocean itself in the far distance, were spread out before us, clear, distinct, and more sublime and beautiful than ever mortal painter can depict upon his canvass.

For a brief moment only, did we enjoy the magnificent scenery the next, the clouds closed in again, and shut even the nearest objects from view. In a few minutes, this operation was repeated, and again and again were the clouds rolled away and renewed, giving us some of for setting types, which we are told is one of to compliment tne mperor oi ranee on tne occa-?

Mr. Editor Being called by business up to this State, it has been my good fortune to be present on the opening day of the Rutland County Agricultural Society, which is being holden at this thriving village, and I have thought I would give you my impressions in regard to it.

The society have some forty acres enclosed by a substantial fence, which is admirably suited lor the pur- Eoses for which it was designed, on which are uilt good, substantial buildings for the various uses of the society, together with that ever-present nuisance, a race-course. Vermont has ever been famous for her good horses, and in the show to-day, Rutland county has done herself credit, the Black Hawk stock, I think, claiming its full share of attention. I would like to mention some very fine animals noticed, but stock and all articles are entered by number, and without the owner's name and residence attached, which makes it very inconvenient ascertaining the owners amid the bustle of a race course, where the Vermonters are especially proud of exhibiting their stock. The show of cattle was very good, mostly native blood, although some very good Durhams and Devons are on exhibition. My impression is, the Vermont farmers do not pay enough attention to their breed of cattle, and that the infusion of more Short Horn blood into their stock would be very much to their advantage.

The show of sheep was far below my expectations in point of numbers, yet there were some very fine animals on exhibition of the various breeds of French and Spanish Merinos, Leicester, and the various crosses between them. The Spanish largely predominated, and as far I could learn, are taking the preference among the majority of wool-growers. J. B. Proctor, of Centre Rutland, exhibited some very choice stock of Spanish Merino sheep, which to my mind were the best on the ground.

One yearling buck in particular was the nearest perfect of any sheep I ever saw. He also exhibited ewes, ewe lambs and buck lambs, which are a credit to his skill as a breeder. Messrs. Farr Rich also exhibited good sheep, and others whose names I did not learn. The show of dairy products and vegetables was good, but not superior.

The show of fruit was very meagre, showing plainly that the Green Mountain boys pay more attention to their sheep than to their orchards. IJeavefor Addison County Fair tomorrow, and may give you a few notes in regard to it. w. Jiutland, Vt, Sept 6, 1860. Remarks.

Dear Sir In your monthly journal, page 331 of this year, there is an article entitled, Cause of Barren Grape Vines." Two drawings are given, one of an imperfect, the other of a perfect flower. There is one point on which information would be acceptable, of which, however, nothing is said directly, in the above named communication.

Is it ascertained that the impression of these barren flowers is radical and perpetual, or it is a result immaturity, which time will remove The point is one of importance. The late Ru-fus Clark, of this town, informed me that a vine which was then bearing several bushels of bunches of grapes was accounted to be barren for twenty-five years. It sprang from a seed, and was only saved from the axe because it made a handsome shade while it occupied no valuable room. Another gentleman has fruit on a vine this year which for four or five seasons past has contented itself with flowering, and was called barren. The small bunch of flowers sent herewith is from a vine, (at the Parsonage, in Brattleboro', which I occupy,) a very rank grower, short jointed, and generally attractive to the eye of grape-growers, but barren for four years.

Its age is six. The flowers sent are forced out from cutting back too closely. They are flowers of next year roperly. The point on which light is sought is, 'o those vines which are for a time barren, have then imperfect pistils? Or are they always perfect, only lacking in vigor Until this point is settled, what shall prevent vines, which might ultimately be far better than the Concord, being thrown away as hopelessly barren George P. Tyler.

Brackett, of Winchester, is familiar with this matter, and we hope will rt-'ply. Art of Thinking. To think clearly iB among tha first requirements of a public teacher. The faculty may be improved, like wther faculties of mind or body. One of the best modes of improving in the art of thinking is, to think over some subject before you read upon it, and then to observe after what manner it has occurred to the mind of some great master; you will then observe whether you have been too rash or too timid, in what you have exceeded, and by this process you will insensibly catch a great manner of viewing questions.

It is right to study, not only to think, but from time to time to review what has passed to dwell upon it, and see what trains of thought voluntarily present themselves to your mind. It is a most superior habit of some minds to refer all the particular truths which strike them to other truths more general so that their knowledge is beautifully n.ethodized, and the general truth, at any time, suggests the particular exemplifications, or any particular exemplification at once leads to the general truth. This kind of an understanding has an immense and decided superiority over those confused heads in which one fact is piled upon another, without the least attempt at classification and arrangement. Sidney Smith. To Protect a Shingle Roof from Fire.

The editor of the Albany Knickerbocker says, that a wash composed of lime, salt and fine sand or wood ashes, put on the ordinary way of whitewashing, renders the roof fifty-fold more safe against taking fire from falling cinders, or otherwise in case of fires in the vicinity. It pays the expense a hundred-fold in its preserving influence against the effect of the weather. The older and more weather-beaten the shingles, the more benefit derived such shingles are generally more or less warped, rough and cracked. The application of the wash, by wetting the upper surface, restores them at once to their original or first form, thereby closing the space between the shingles, and the time and sand, by filling up the cracks and posts, in the shingle itself prevents its warping for years if not forever.

Merrill, of Lynn. He calls it a native, and it is a good grape for a wild one. However, it costs no more to cultivate a fine quality grape than a poor one, so that whenever we plant a grape vine it should be the best we can command, if it is on that will bear the climate and be productive.

The foreign imports are light for the season, and will probably not exceed the wants of the country. The foreign trade with New York last week was more active than for the corresponding week last year. The value of the seven principal articles of produce was $902,458, being an in crease of over th- corresponding week last year. The amount Bince Jan. 1 is $22,91 an increase of $3,177,244 over the corresponding period in 1850.

The export of tpveie from New York last week was against $2,349,456 for the corresponding week in 18A9. The shipments since January 1 are $38,037,612 against $52, 011,208 during the same period last year. Business in general is steadily improving. The manufacturing and shipping interests fully realise tbe favorable prospects of the early season. The various railroads and canals ire well employed in the transportation of pro luce to the seaboard, the amount of which throughout the Went is immense.

At Chicago alone the receipts will exceed 41.000,000 miBhets. There has been a steady stock market during the past week, with an Increasing demand for the sound securities at full prices. Railroad shares are improving in value as the season advances. The increased business on most roads will, together with the more judicious management of the finances, add much to the market value of the shares. The market to-day evinced no changes of importance.

Prices were steady, and buyers are increasing. The sales are, however, limited in consequence of a want of sellers at the market rates. The Boston Manufacturing Co. have declared a dividend of $40 per share, payable October BOSTON BOOT AND SHOE MABKET. Batumi at.

The leathi-r trade remains without improvement. Manufacturers are purchasing only for immediate wants, while tanners and dealers are more anxious to sell at current rates, and are getting tired of the inaction and depression which ha characterized the business for some time past. Rough Leather is attain a shade easier, hut other kinds remain about the same, although the tendency is to lower rates.

Coal is in good retail demand, at an advance. Cotton steady and quiet. Flour has been in quite active demand and prices, particularly for the lower grades, have advanced. The prices of corn have been well sustained, bu tbe market is rather unsettled. Oats in fair demand.

Hides continue to be held firm, but are quiet. The first lot of hops, of the present year's crop, soki for 18c. Sates are reported in New York for future delivery at 28 31c. Leather quiet, and sales small. No material change in molasses.

Pork has been in good demand, and prices vell sustained and slightly advanced. Beef firm, and in steady demand. Butter is in moderate supply with a fair demand. Cheese firm. Fjttra beans are scarce and command full prices.

Fleece and pulled Wools are firm and sustain full prices, but the demand continues moderate. Sales of the wtek 100,000 lbs. Tbe transactions in foreign wool have been considerable. In New York, says the Shipping List, the demand continues good, and all the better grade of foreign and domestic find ready sales the stock of foreign, however, being light, the sales have been small Domestic wool continues in good request for all the fine grades, while coarse and medium are less inquired for. There is a good feeling in the market, and holders of prime wools are very firm.

At the time of writing this paragraph we have returns from about two-thirdi of the State, which show that the Republicans have chosen their entire State ticket by a largely increased majority over last year. A despatch from Portland of the 11th, gives the following returns of the vote for Governor: 213 towns give Washburn (Rep.) 48,147 votes Smart (Dem.) Barnes (Union) 3 210. Same towns last year gave Morrill (Rep.) 39,360 Smith (Dem.) 30,544. Republican majority this year 11,881 last year 8816. Increase in the whole vote 14,509.

Republican net gain 3065. The aggregate vote of the State will reach 120,000 about 20,000 more than that of last year. The Republicans have elected the entire Con- gressional delegation. The returns indicate that the State Senate is entirely Republican, and the House about four-fifths Republican. Ihe county officers elected are mostly Republicans.

Tiie Vermont Election. Additional returns from Vermont indicate that the Republican ma- jority on the vote for Governor will reach 21,000. In 106 towns Fairbanks has a majority of 11,768.
