The accounts from Garibaldi’s expe- dition are still meagre and conflicting; but reports generally concur in stating that he was making good progress. Some say he had captured the most important po- sitions in Sicily, except Messina and Palermo. After his landing at Marsala. the Neapolitan war vessels bombarded that town without warning; and British vessels interposed for the protection of the English residents. An important announcement had been made via Madrid, that the King of Naples had applied for foreign intervention. Among other questions it was rumored that a treaty ofleiisive and defensive had been concluded between Naples, Rome, Austria, and all the deposed Italian Sovereigns. LATEST MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, May 20lhâ€" P.M. Breadstuffs steady; wheat buoyant; provisions dull. Latest accounts from Naples represent the utmost consternation there; the troops dispirited, and tumultous manifestations taking place. The Royal family are packing up their jewels and valuables, and other strong indications that a great insurection is looked for at any moment. At latest dates Garibaldi‘s forces were moving on Palermo. Sayers and Heenan have finally agreed that each shall have a new belt. The English Government had issued a proclamation against enlistment for the Pope in Ireland. The English funds were vere heavy under continental polices, but more steady at the close. FRANCE. The Paris Bourse was greatly depressed but closed firmer. The French Minister at Naples had asked for four ships of war, and tn l vessels had been sent. The French fleet were about to sail for Levant. There were vague rumors of a new French loan for military purposes. ITALY. It is reported that General Lamorlclcrc had made a forward movement with the Papal troops, and 5,000 Piedmontese had beenxsent tovcheck him. It is positively asserted that the French troops had received orders to evacuate Italy. It was saiil'that the Sardinian Governâ€" ment had orderethlie garrisons of Central Italy to march' immediately towards the Papal frontier. SPAIN. Gen..Conclia was elected President of the Spanish Senate and decorated with the order of the Golden Fleece. The army of Africa entered Madrid amid inuch entliusiams. RUSSIA. The Austrian Government had stated that the British Embassador to Iriussia, or receipt of Gortchakotl‘s communication relative to Turkey. lodged a formal pro- test against it. This was not correct. He only received-the communication under reserve, stating that he would refer‘it to his Government for instructions. Latest despatchcs say that England would-not- in- terfere. LONDONâ€"Saturday. The Champion- ship.â€"-Bell’s Life of this morning an- nounces that a meeting took plice between Sayers and IIeenan, at that otlicc-yester- day, to discuss measures for terminating the diapute between them as to the pos- session of the champion belt. It was ultimately agreed that two new belts, eXact counterparts of the one so much coveted should he made. The money for the purchcse to be raised by public subscription, each of the candidates wore to head the list, for that to be held by his Cpporiurf ; the old belt will remann in pi‘issession of the proprieton of Bell‘s Life, to be fought for by whoever may aspire to the honor of wearing it. Sayers has engaged to retire from the prize ring. Garibaldi had issued proclamations to the Romans and Neapolitans, calling them to revolt. Palermo despatches of the 14th say, in five churches, at the termination of mass, shouts of “ Italy foreverl” “Liberty foreverl’ kc, Were raised. In the even- ing the populace to the number of 10 000 assembled. The police were unable tol disperse them, and the troops were called out, and fired on the people, killing four and wounding ten. Sorcra‘f persons were arrested. There was some excitemeat at Florence owing to the appearance of placards in favor of the cx-G rand Duke. There were rumors of the intention of an attempt at the recovery of his power. The garrison was strengthened and the Natioal Guard called out. A ilofsilcation on a small scale has been discovered against the Cashier of Pantry &..Co.’s Bank, Lowdon, but no prosecution was made. An influential deputation headed by Milner Gibson had laid beforeLord Palmerston, the plans for Col. Shaffner’s telegraphic to America via the Faroe Islands and Ireland. The Russian Grand Duke Nicholas was on a visit‘to the Emperor Napoleon. report that France had offered p‘e'cii‘iiiary indemnity to Switzerland was unfounded.

We have always held’ the opinion that com- petition is the life of trade, and, that if our yeo- men are to keep pace with the progress of the ago, some stiinulous to exertion must be given them. This stimulent. to our mind, (in spite of some drawbacks) is supplied by our Plungh- ing Matches, and Agricultural Spring and Fall Shows. A generous rivalry is caused by these Fairs, which has a most beneficial effect, as is seen by the rapid improvements made in horses stock, and farming. Every your shows a rapid progress; and although in every previous year. we have had to announce that each fair held on Richmond Hill, was the best we have had. Still to be within the limits of truth, it is our pleasing task to state, that. the Fair held on Wednesday, the 23rd ult., was in every respect for superior. to that of the your previous. Take for example our horses and stock. we heard one of our most experienced farmers say, “ That the Provincial Fair never had a better show. and that they could not be beaten by the same number of animals in Canada,” and it” in the future, we go on improving in the same ratio, we will venture to say that, “ The Old Sod” will need to import from us, instead of we from them. same remarks will hold true. If we turn to implements, the There were about 18 ditt’erontmacliines, from the renowned Messrs. Patterson’s works, which firm, said Col. Berosford to us, turned out the last Reap- er’s, Mower’s. &c., &c., in Canada. Turn we to the dairy, we heard one of the judges say, that he had never tasted as good butter before, in harness, Richmond Hill was wellropresontod by Mr. W. H. Myers, for to our mind, his "harness boat by long odds, the celebrated Bell prize harness, for the best plowman at Markham Village. We had a. large concourse of spectators on the ground, amongst whom there scorned to be but one opinion. and that was. that it was the host fair hold in Canada. this year, and when we remember that some of them. such as Messrs. G. of attending all the fairs in the various parts of the Province, such a compliment from them Miller, Davis, and others, are in the habit proves that the fair was a good one indeed' After the show was over. the Directors and others adjourned to an excellent dinner. pro- vided by Mr. G. Silinson. of the Masonic Arms, which being done justice to, the usual loyal and others toasts were drank, with the ac- customed honorsrand one and all retired to ‘heir homes, thoroughly satisfied with our ex- cellent show.

Bright and early we were awakened from our peaceful slumbcrs by the noise of mimic artilleryâ€"â€" Three beautiful arches of evergreen Wore erected, and at an early hour the hill'was astir; the people pouring in from the. surrounding country. Trudgeon's Masonic Band was in attendance. and acquitted themselves in the most efficient manner possible. on ])asscnt.â€"- We would call attention to their advertisement in another column, as those who wish fora. first-rate band cannot do better than engage them. In the afternoon the proceedings were on- livened by Foot Races, Wheelbarrow Races, Climbing the Greasy Pole, an amateurCricket Match at Mr. J. Gaby’s, doc; and in the evening we had a brlllinnt display of Fireworks, the enjoyment of which was much enhanced by the ninuseiiiont caused bv the numerous fireballs, squiba. &c. which were constantly flying about in all directions, seriously to the detriment of O.

An excellent dinner and supper was gratuitously provided for the band by Messrs. Nicholle and Raymond. The en- tire proceedings were of the most orderly and pleasing nature, and reflects great credit on all concerned. >0 CANE at OAK RID GES HURRI Thanks to a kind Providence! the neighbor- hood iii which we live is very rarely visited by destructive Tornadoes ,Or Hurricanes, we be- have the oldest inhabitant does not remember any storm of equal severity, to the one that visited Oak Ridges. on Saturday last, the Qthi inst., at about half past two o'clock in the after- noon. Iâ€"t is described by those who saw it, as most terrific in its fury. and although-tho storm did not exceed above a. quarter of a mile in breath, and broke after destroying everything in its onward march of about -'ct we are a mile uand halt", assured by eye witnesses, that it surpassed everything in sublimity they ever behold. There appeared to be two dense clouds. one as black as night, the other of a yellowish tint joined together, and like adostroy ing angel, slowly but too surely did it proceed from the Ridges eastward,’ We believe the first place it struck was Mr. Boyco’s Orchard, which it speedily levelled with the ground. it took the roof off Mr. Dunhain’s house and born, and passing on, it struck Mr. Phillips house with unimagined fury, carrying the west end of the house completely away; taking even the bedding and clothes, which i‘ tore into ten thousand shreds, nor was this all, but as if determined to make a full end, it even carried away all his money [about $300] notes and letters, leaving only a portion of the frame of the house standing, the other buildings are, we believe completely destroyed. It also took the roofs off. and otherwise injured Mr. Cun- ningham’s barns and stable-s,nnd carried a' man working for Mr. John Stewart about twenty rods. taking: him over a high fence, he was not, we are happy to say. injured, or but slightly.

But still the whirlwind marched on, and tore the vorandab from Mr. St. George’s house, tearing off the shingles and part of the roof, and then lifted the roof off the stables, tearing also a pump out of the ground, and ore it left the premises, doing damage to the tune of aboul $5000 or $6000. Mr. G.

The Cricket Club then left the ground and repaired to Mr. Langstafl, of Springliill, Dr. [Iillâ€" cry, of Aurora, and Dr. James Langstaff, of Richmond Hill, deem- ed it advisable to amputate at once, which was done. Dr. L. Langstaff has since attended the patient who, under the circumstances, is doing as well as can be expected.

The left division first advanced and fired upon the Fort,- but was re- pulsed by P’rince Menchakofl. The cavalry, led on by Major McLeod,; then made a desparate charge upon the Russians, driving. them back into the fort. After which Captain Stephenson then advanced with the wholeof his reel-oubtablc Infantry to bombard the fort, the left wing was driven back with desperate force, the right wing being ordered to charge, the Russians were again driven into the, fort. Major Mc- Leod then led on his cavalry to the charge without much success. The left division of. Infantry was then broughtzforward in skirmisliing order, and kept up a constant fire :for half an hour, whilst the right division wias brought up in the rear and ordered. to lie down, while the left divisiofiwasbcing repulsed.

Grzn’i‘i.irriii<r<,-â€"l hays seen an article in the York Herold that should be brought under your notice. The Municipality of Markham- liaving last year paid extravagantly high to Mr. David lloesor, Reeve of the ToWnship of Markham, for printing, determined, at an early period of the present year, by unanimous vote of the Council, that all printing for this yearsliould be done by tender. Adar- tisciiicuts. accordingly, were inserted in some. if not all, of the newspapers in the country.â€" it is understood three or four tenders wer‘o- sent in. Mr. David Roosor, head of the cor- poralion, without exhibiting documents to the» Council, or in any manner consulting it. declared Mr. David Recsor, Editor and Pro- prietor of the Markham Economist, to' have given in the lowest lender, andi assigned-7 him the contract.

The chair of the Hoovc becomes vacant, and every act of the Council, llioncct'orili, becomes void, that is,. providing he occupies the chair, or the COUllClll does not declare the seat vacant. Now, gentlemen, Mr. Davrd Reesor cannot holdtho Wardenship legally, and the County Council must, of necessity. clear itself from the odiuin of allowing an iiiterloper to preside over illJll' meetings. It is quite clear to my mind, that if the Council attempts, under such circumstances, to pass“ By-laws” or to do any duty, they render themselves individually responsible for their acts. In fact, it is a most alarming state of things that the Warden of utility of York and Peel, should, for the
