} lr . - ILvtheris blamed for having refused to accept jj ajit'logy from his ruffianly assailant ; and for ta ring insisted upon making the question at issue one cf national honour . In both respects Mr . Mather ihouH be held blameless . ' LordVMAtMESBinrt' assorts jail a ' fa'l and frank apclbgyliati been offered to Mr } UfliE& by the officer who had insulted him . Mr . jUiuek , however , had not thought fit to accept this ipjlogy . To speak of Mr . Mather as having been is-alted' when he was not merely insulted , but early murdered as well , is certainly taking tilings tjolly ! Well might tho Premier congratulate ' their lordships' on the calm and temperate tone ' in ? hicli they were discussing the subject . ' But the
• apology which it is affirmed the Austrian was ready to tender , tronld have been in reality a second insult added to an unprovoked and brutal injury , for what jays the Earl of DEBB 7— ' There wag a distinct declaration made on the part of the officer rio committed the outrage that If Mr . Mafyr kouU mate a declaration that he intended go mult to the officer , the officer would , in any terms he might desire , express-his regret at bavinf ? 1 'een betrayed into the action . ' That is to £ 3 v , if after suffering outrage and all bat assassination . Mr . JLlther had been so base as to hare made an apologetic explanation to the Austrian , the latter troalii have graciously responded by expressing ' big T ?< rrt . ' The British Prime Minister maintains that
h ' thia aflair , from first to last , there haB been no cuKiion of national insult or national indignity , and flat the catting down of an unarmed Englishman is K'tiobepnt in the same category as the ' pulling doa-n of the consular flag , ' which , had that ocenrred , the 'Eurl' of Derby might have looked upon as provocation sufficient to justify the holding of the stale employing the guilty party responsible for the national insult . "With afl deference to the chief of the British Government , and with all respect for the Earional ' bit of bunting , ' I must protest that I ttnader ' the pulling down of the consular flag ' mid have been a trivial offence compared with the
ss-asan-like attempt to take the life of an unaraied Englishman . The pretence that the injury done to Mr . Mather was a personal , not a national aftir , is easily shattered . That the ruffian who Etrack , and the ruffian who attempted to slay , both hew that they -were assailing an Englishman ( in jpiteofDEBBTaud Maimesbury ' S . assertion to the smtrary ) is proved by their own declaration ( true tr false ) that their victim on being struck in the face ' pat himaelf in a boxing attitude . ' If he did so , by &st sign he was known to be an Englishman , and jferenponFonsiHUBER cut him down I By way of apology for the Austrian ' s conduct , we are told by his nperiors thathe acted according to the rules of the
Imperial Service , which rules require , under- pain of ^ gradation and dismissal , that an officer on dnty , if ie suspects he is about to be struck , shall cut down the lender . The Austrian Government made those rales , and the Tuscan Government adopted an Austrian force subjected to the said rule 3 , which , when ijat into force against a son of England , became thereb y an outrage upon this country , and one which j Osr Government was bound to resent by any and every [ means ; and for which was bound to obtain redres 3 of another character than the £ 222 , which the Duke « Casigliaxo proffers as a mark of the liberality and UMrosity of 'his Imperial and Royal Highness tho toind Duke . '
1 must again postpone comment on otherquestions ffimecied with ' our foreign policy . ' But a special 'rahre in last Monday ' s debate I must not pass over . ^ Ey way of excusing Fohstiiuber , it is urged that « mistook Mr . Mather for an Italian ; and one of tho mhlords' added that 'tlio Austrian officers were a tae habit of spurning the Italians out of their way a-ta ? y spurned dogs . ' Could words more forcibl y *!;•« tlmi outrage to the Human Eaeo , compared * r-a ulneh the particular attack upon Mr . Mather ; - ' - " »{ ' ? insignificant , implied in the brutal domina--. ii < . f Austria over Italy—au outrage connived at , jattdily sectioned , Lv the British Government ! It
« -ii enough to protest against ' British subjects ' fH treated like unto Italians ; our duty to Humanity 5 ?^* ™ rch more . The 'Daily Sews' observes J . '" ' GenBans and Italians choose to be made ^ tt 3 of such sharp practice , that is no concern of i * i the exeCQ tionersmust first make sure that ^; . v luve Germans and Italians to deal with . ' It is " - } true that the Germans and Italians so ' choose ' r- » ear witness the barricades of Berlin , Vienna . w-esden , and Frankfort , the battle fields of Baden , « ase coerced , and Schleswi g-Holatein betrayed ; ^ r wjtness the 'bloody protests' which , for thirty . ws past , almost year by year , Italy has written in «* 'He-stream of her aoblest sons , at Naples .

HAILSTORM AT MANCHESTER . On Monday afternoon , considerable damage was done to property in the town and neighbourhood of Manchester by a storm of hail , accompanied with , thund r and li ghtninj ? . Property in Pendleton , Eeeles , and Patricroft , appear to have suffered most , and in these places mill and greenhouse windows must have been destroyed to the extent of some thousands of pounds sterling . At Patricroft the storm commenced shortly before three o ' clock , and the hail descended in crystallised pieces of ice nearly the shape of pears . Messrs . Xaysmith and Gaskill ' s works , called tho Bridgewater Foundry , had between 2 , 000 and 3 , 000 squares of glass broken in the skylights over the sheds . Mr . Naysmith gives an interesting account of these crystals , some of which were more than an inch in length , which he Bays had evidently fall- n the heavier end downwards . Aug . jnenting in size aa they descended , the successive layers o ! the crystals being clearly perceptibletho thickness of the
, atones had increased at an angle of thirty-five , which jb that at which water crystallises . Three of the hailstones picked up at Ecclea weighed an ounce and three quarters . At Ecclss the cotton mill of Mearea . John Chadwick and Brothers suffered to the extent of upwards of 5 , 000 square ! of glass in the weaving sheds , besides glass broken in other parts of the mill . It is estimated that £ 200 will scarcel y make good the damage . The silk mill of Mr . Thomas Ainaworth , also at Eccles , had from 1 , 500 to 2 , 000 squares of glass broken in the weaving sheds . Here the pieces of ailk iu the looms suffered great damage , not only from the descending hailstones , which wetted tbe fabric aud deetroyed the colours for nearly a yard in length each of about 230 looms , but from the pieces of glass that knocked through upon them , cutting and otherwise damaging the silk goods thej come in contact witb . No estimate had been formed of tha total damage in tbia mill , but it will be co > Bide < rable . Many of the market gardeners will have suffered muoh in this vicinity .
The storm reached Pendleton about a quarter pBBt three o ' clock , and hail stonei were picked up measuring three inches in circumference . These fell with great force , and many persons struck by them were much hurl . In the weaving sheds of Sir Elkanah Armitage ' a mill , about 1 , 600 squares of glass were broken , and at his residence , which ii near tbe mill , about 300 squares of glass in the greenhouse were broken . The darknegR was so great during the atom that the machinery had to be stopped and the hands to leave off work . At the mill of Messrs . J . and T . Ash worth , Pendleton , about 1 , 330 squares of glass were broken over the weaving sheds .
It did net reach Manchester until about four o ' clock , but it lasted until nearly five . The hail wag not heavy at Manchester , however , though rain fell in torrents . The upper part of a chimney belonging to the Old Quay Carrying Company , at their premises on the left bank of tho Irwell , in Water-street , Manchester , was struck by the lightning at about naif-past four o ' clock . About thirty feet of the chimney , which was about seventy-five feet high , was torn entirely down , and fell through tbe roof of a four-story warehouse below and an engine-house adjoining . Tho fall of the materials , about six tons weight of which fell upon the floor of the top story of the warehouse , was partially broken by a quantity of oats with which the floor was covered : nevertheless a portion of tbe bricks broke through into the third story . The roof of the engine-house also gave way under the weight of the falling bricks , and considerable damage was done to the engineman * 8 furniture . It is believed that the engine has not been injured , but it has been stopped till the ' rubbish in which it wis buried has been cleared away .

MAZZISI AND RICCIARDI . 10 THE BD 1 IC-B 01 TUB 8 UR Qt FREEDOM , Sin , —Sinoe you have judged it proper to publish , with the signature of Mr . Linton , a letter which oonoerns me , let me request you to correct many errors which have found their way into that letter . First , the vexed question which is alluded to is not between Mr . Mazzini and some French Socialists , but between Mr . Mazzini and tbs French Socialists ; for , when Mr . Mazzini took it into his head to assail , in tho most iniquitous and violent manner , and without any provocation on their part , men who were all , at the same moment , as it has been said somewhere else—either imprisoned , or condemned to deportation , or in exile , for the crime of having desired the alleviation of the people ' s sufferings—men who had lost their all , position , fortune , and country— . for having always made war on the enemies of freedom , and especially on tbe enemies of Italian independence . When . I
say , Mr . Mazzini assailed those honest and devoted men , those Republicans , he did not write : — " I accuse bomb Socialists ; " he wrote ikdiscriminitbit— " I accuse thb Socialists I accuse them I accuse them I accuse thrm ... etc .. eto " Mr . Linton excepts against Mr . Ricoiardi ; yet Mr . Riooiardi is , beyond all dispute , a man of honour , a clevor man , an Italian refugee , who has been very much conoerned in the last revolution of his country , who has accurately written the history of that revolution , and is in a better condition to know the facts than Mr . Linton , an Englishman , if I am not mistaken ! It is true that Mr . Ricciardi ia not a blind admirer of Mr . Mazzini ; but , towards Mr . Mazzini , almost all men of eminence , amongst the Italian patriots , are in the same situation : witness Gioberti , Montanelli , Cernuschi , Salicoti , Sirtori , Sterbini , Granatelli , etc . Is Mr . Ricoiardi an honest Republican ! yes or no . Has he been in such a position as to be well-informed ? This is the question .
Now , we had said , in our reply to Mr . Mazzini : — " That Mr . Mazzini was accused of having done an immense injury to his country , by sacrificing to his own Utopia tbe necessity of not detaching from the common causo Piedmont , which had all-organisation , money , and soldiers . " Mr . Ricciardi writes : — " Mr . Mazxini remained at Milan about four monthB , in the falsest position possible , and exercising a deleterious influence , since its effect was to excite disoord at the very moment when the union of all against Austria was most necessary to shackle the aotion of the provisional government of Milan , and to paralyse the impure of tho Sardinian army . "
We had said in our reply : — " That Mr . Manini was accused pf havino been making « £ ? aohflft whil pat Novara they ' ^ tt dying in battle . " Mr . Riccmrdi writes :- « nad ; my Wten Ssteppe MswiL , and had I been there at that period , I would have Beired a musket and marched on the enemy at the very beginning of the war , woil assured that my examplo would have electrified all the youth of Italy , and added thousands of volunteers to those who had already takon arms from one end ef tho Penninsula to the other . It was not till the Austrians were already marching on Milan—that is to say—whon all hopo was lost , that Mr . Mazzini , issuing at length from his retreat , inscribed his name amongst those of Garibaldi ' s soldiers . "
We had said , in our reply : — " That Mr . Mazzini arrived at Ro me after tho Pope had been put to flight—after tho Republic had been proolaimod —after the Revolution had been oompleted . " Mr . Kicciardi writes : — " The Grand Duke Leopold had fled from Vienna , and theRepuWio had b » en proclaimed at Rome when Mr . Maszini arrived in Central Italy j ho had therefore no share in those events . " Wo had spoken , in our reply : — 1 ' Of the pompous U 9 eleasnes 3 of Mr . Mazzini between tho work of tho constitution and the toils of the defence , be « tween Saliceti , who hold the pen of Republican Rome , and Garibaldi , who wielded its sword . " Mr . Ricciardi writes : - — mtrm- ( A- > W Vat ** MI II * IVUM *
^ — " The whore of Mr . Mazzini ' s merit aa chief triumvir was confined , in my opinion , to the manner equally dignified and intelligent , in which , I rejoice to agree , he ropresentod the Roman Republio towards the agents of the French government . True , his task was rendered very easy ; firstly , by this immense fact—That right and jus-ice woro altogether on the side he defended ; and , secondly , —By the inconceivable bunglinjr of Mr . Louis Bonaparte ' B government . I will even Bay that to it must bo attributed , in a great moasure , that kind of prestige which surrounds tho namo-of . Mr . Manini , which ought rather to surround that of Ga ' ribaldi , the chief hero of the noblo epic of which Rome was the theatre . "
Mr . IViociardi adds—and our reply mentioned nothing of that kind— " That Mr . Mazzini was very muoh to blame for not having carried war into Naples—not before the fatal overthrow of . Novara , sinoe Mr . Mazzini was not yet in power—but after , as a means of easily recovering from it . " Is this charge well founded ? Ia it true that , during the month of April , Mr . Mazzini gave orders to Garibaldi to enter the Neapolitan territory ? We have hero a direct acouBation brought by Mr . Ricciardi and contradicted by Mr Linton , who gets hiB history secondhand . I am goin « r to Mr . Riociardi , and as soon sb his anBwer reaches me I will direct it to you . In tho meantime , I ask to bo allowed to five credit , about the faotu of the Italian Revolution , to the i 8 toriaa ; of that revolution . "
As for the pretended " animadversions of Louis Blano" I Bini , in my turn very sorry Mr . Linton should be so misled . Mr . Louis Blano has long been oonneoted with Mr . Mazzini . No French writer has more than Louis Blanc contributed to the reputation of Mr . Mazzini . Mr . Mazzini shook hands with Louis Blano the very day whon the former was Bilently preparing his aggression against the Socialists ; and it was omlt in consequence of that aqoubssion , so unjust , so violent , so unexpected , that Louis Blano , sharing tho inteh ° *? ^ 7 iu ruoRe P ublioan ' compelled to resent the attack of the aggressor . Let the responsibility of tho struggle rest with him by whom it was oommenced ! t ^ aht , t . ic u J am sir » y ° urs vorv sincerely London , June 16 th . Hiawa .

I am sorry to have to say that the so-called " true and tune-honoured principles" contain much that is false and detestable . Thus " the Baltimore platform " re-endorsed the ' « compromise " on slavery , and while indulging in lots of worn-out "bosh" about "federalism , " & >„ &o , omitted all mention of the question of American intervention in Europe . A question which must ere long fotce \ tae \ t upon the government of this great Republic , whether Whig or Democratic . I repeat , 1 caunot but think it most remarkablo that , notwithstanding the wesence and elotmenfc
teaetungsof Kosauth , the members of the Conventionshould havo altogether eschewed the important question of our foreign policy . I enclose biographical notices of Pieroe and King , the chosen chiefs of the Democracy . Thoir publication iu your next number will be opportuue ; for these men , suddenly bocome famous , are by no means generally known . This is the casa especially with Piorce . Strange that he should take the placo of Buoh men as Cass , Buchannan , Marcy . and Douglas ! '
It is very likely that before long the so-calloJ " Democratic National Convention" will bo meritedly eHeemed a gathering of less importance , and having less interests for the people , than an assembly which has been sitting at Washington about the same time that the Convention vm sitting sfc Baltimore .

You will no doubt be pleased to learn the glorious recen . tion that has been here accorded to the Irish nltrB Thomas Francis Moagher . A deputaUon from £ cSS Council waited upon the eloquent exile yesterday fSthS purpose of offering him a public reception .

For the little I have done and suffered , I have had my reward In the ponalty assigned me .

THE DEMOCRATIC REFUGEE COMMITTEE . TO THE PEOPLE oTgbEAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . mS ^ . ° aNTRYMEN-Wearenot labouring in vain . \ N th the assistance we hive received we have already been xt * ? SfJS ™ l good . in lhe ™? ° / ^ Horating the con . dmon of the refuses THE D"RArnnT ? , \ Trri npun / ron
; but very much more remains to be done . To enable us to fulfil our holy mission we appeal to you to come forward and give your aid . Employment has been obtained for a few of the many lacking the means of subsistence . It is most desirable that efforts be forthwith made in every district to find work of some km for the destitute . To this end the formation of local committees is of the first importance . We are happy to learn that such a committee , composed of influential aud benevolent men , boo been fa-mcti i-i rruuingtmmr- TVe'frnst that example will be followed ia other places .
Annexed is a statement of monies received by this committee . Notwithstanding the liberal contributions of Viscount Goderich and other friends , the amount received up to this time is altogether inadequate to meet the claims upon the committee . It is , therefore , imperative that every one who desires the preservation of the soldiers of the cause of European Freedom should at once contribute , according to his ability , that we may be able to find for the exiles the meaas of support , or at ' leaat of relief . You have been told that you cannot help the refugees
nntil you have made a revolution in your own land , that you cannot afford to be generous until you have first obtained your social and political rights . What a few have alread y done shows what could be accomplished if taken up by the many in spite of existing political arrangement 8 , AYe very well know that the great mass of our own people have little to give , that they themselves suffer ; vet vie know that they are not selfish , and tbat they will never have recourse to sophistry , in order to escape from the performance of a duty . - .
To relieve and protect the . refugees is a sacred dutya duty , the fulfilment of which is the work of to-day , and not one to be spoken of in connexion with a future conquest of" political and social rights . " While these rights were being straggled for , the unfortunate victims of European tyranny might perish . Our continental brothers have struggled for political and social ri ghts , not merely for themselves , but for all mankind . Assist them then in their day of affliction since they have stood forward iu our common cause and battled under Humanity ' s banner . Obey the inspirations of conscience , and treat with scorn thoae who would preach to you selfishness and sophistry in place of the holy duties prescribed by justice and fraternity
