[By Electric Telegraph.] LATEST INTELLIGENCE. London, Monday night, August 27. Garibaldi is master of all Sicily, and has now landed in Calabria with 8,000 men, and is being joined by the royal troops. He has been in Naples, and consulted with the leading inhabitants as to the future programme of affairs. The members selected for the New Neapolitan Parliament are those who are known to be in favour of the annexation to Piedmont. The Austrian Government is preparing for the reception of the King of Naples, and has sent a fleet of men of war to the Bay of Naples, to be ready to embark his Majesty. Austria’s policy in this question is not to interfere unless she is attacked. She is still strengthening Venetia. The Emperor and Empress of the French have left St. Cloud on a visit to Savoy and Nice. Lord Palmerston has declared that the annexation of Savoy has not been acknowledged by the great Powers; that Sardinia had no power to cede, nor France any power to annex, Savoy; that such a proceeding renders it necessary for us to be circumspect. The Emperor of the French has written a remarkable letter to Count Persigny, the Ambassador in London, expressive of the utmost condiality towards England, and his earnest desire to be at peace with his neighbours. There have been meetings of the several German monarchs on the subject of German unity, and the policy to be pursued in the affairs of Italy. The East is in a state of great excitement; there have been fearful massacres of Christians in Syria (4000 persons), and the European Powers have interfered to prevent their recurrence. France sends 12,000 troops, and England a fleet. The weather has been most unfavourable for crops, and bread stuffs have risen considerably, and money is expected to become tight. Many mercantile failures have taken place, and fears are entertained about the cotton trade. The stock is upwards of 1,110,000 bales, or 560,000 in excess of

last year, and about eleven million pounds of cotton bills are afloat to be settled for. Trade is sadly depressed in all directions, and difficulties are apprehended this winter.
