Ii any doubts existed, either in Italy or elsewhere, as to the effect which the late elections in Piedmont were likely to have upon the policy of its present rules, those doubts have been summarily dispelled by the teak and unfaltering sposchof the KDIO. Vicroa EXANALL has uniformly received, because he hoe uniformly deserved, during the ten years he has occupied the throne, the cordial and respectful greeting of his subjects on all public occasions. In days of hopefulness his appearance has usually been welcomed with joy. la days of gloom his pre sence has been recognised without suspicion or dis trust. At all times there was a generous confidence reposed in the unpretending monarch, that what ever he said he would do, and that whatever he did undertake ha would accomplish to the best of his abilities and resources. Standing in the position—let us own it candidly, the difficult and sometimes dangerous position—of chief of a newly emancipated people, this character for genuineneis has proved of inestimable value. It has steadied the ship of state as nothing else could do. It has prac tically taught an imaginative and impatient race that there is great sad solid good in constitutional government, even when its action is retarded by circumstances it cannot overcome, or its policy is one of slow and occasionally intermittent program. It has given the habit of national confidence time to grow—to grow strong and rooted in the destiny of a glorious land to be eventually freed from bondage —in the impossibility of the tide of time being forced back in its liberating coax. It has gone far to cleanse the Italian bosom of that perilous stuff, compounded of precipitancy and despair, that weighed upon the country's heart. The King of SARDINIA has in this done more real @orrice to the canes of national regeneration than by all the great works of domestic improvement and all the trophies of foreign glory that have marked his reign. Ile has made every friend and every enemy of his horses believe that when he speaks he speaks deliberately, that what he says he wishes to he remembered, and that he is emphatically a man of his word. But he has shown that he has the soar age and the noble ambition to do more on fit occasion. lie hie altered words within the last few days which to every palpitatiag heart in the Peninanla seem to say, " Whenever I am able I shall be found better " thee my word." There is not a sentence or • syllable in the Royal Address which can legitimately be cc-wanted into a breach of the urbane impartiality of jostles to all chaos sad elisions within his own immediate realm, or late a menace of aggression upon those legally osendlada authorities in the midst of which him owe 'O&M. There is net a hard word towards say party at home or any power shoved. But there is throatiest a opurtioue end courageous tone of notice to all men, be they who they may, that Vic-roa Eicirrrn. knows his duty, compreheeds his position, and will matt the part he has undertaken to play as a we stitsticmal King in Italy. At a moment when a powerful party lx his dominions, avowedly leagued with the Courts of Rome and Sienna, boast of having filched a portion of the representative powers of the State from popular control, and that they are stroll% enough to compel the adoption of • 1 teactiooary policy, the Sovereign, in their presence, sakonnly invoker the spirit of his father as the Mader of Piedimintase freedom ; declares that the same mind vale animated him to give popular rights to his ormatry is 1847 is in kis essi to-day i ismunde hem all the amatory sad derides wire ler resod kiss prompt sad kiyal aid in farther fortifying and extending the siril and religious rights now enjoyed by the people; end unmistakeably proclaims that epee the principles of Liberal/ kris govern- Salt is imaiatably boded. We may imagine, bet we who live in an old land of liberty can never fully knew, the feelings which each words as these excited la the breasts of those who heard them. Contrary to thessagenofreepeet,barsta of emotion interrupted the king as be read frown the throne the well-weighed term of this noble confession of faith in freedom. Surprised and silesee-strieken, the members of the Sacerdotal Party betrayed only by their looks what they felt at the Royal declaration of " No surrender." They had persuaded themselves, and had tried to persuade others, both at home and abroad, that apes the assembling of the new Chambers °seat CATOUII and his Whey= would try to deprecate their hostility by seems predbmies of ultra. moderation, if not by IMO umenres of sear session towards the Church.

But M. CATOCI has counted the cost, and wisely judged that the safety of his master's throne and the stability of the well-ordered liberty he has contri buted so mach to establish, would best be consulted by a fee:leas avowal to the nation of the real issue at stake. The thrilling response the Royal declaration met within the walls of the Senate House, and the deep and long-continued echoes with which it was received by the anxious multitudes waiting without those walls, attest the soundness of the advice given to the Sovereign by his Ministers. With true policy and true rhetoric art, the framers of the Speech reserved to its close a topic which they well knew would tell far more than all the rest with the community at large. After alluding to the statue of Cit.taxte ALDERT, which was on that day inaugurated and confided to the care of the Parliament, in whose hall it had been placed, the XING slowly, but with unusual emphasis, exclaimed, " May his memory in spire all your deliberations for the welfare and glory of Piedmont, and of our common country— Italy !" As the forbidden name was uttered, a new and startling burst of feeling broke forth, Every Austrian at heart who heard it felt the might of that spell ; every vassal of the' Vati can on whose ear it fell recognised in it a power greater than votes of Senates, or levies of armed men, to baffle the machinations of clerical and civil abeulutiem. To the many, and to the men of their choice, the utterance of the name of Italy as the object of the royal hopes, and thoughts, and prayers, spoke as a rallying cry long unheard, a note of warning and yet of good cheer ; an augury of better days to come; a signal, not of constitutional free dom in distress, bat of national redemption, never to be despaired of, and eventually to be won.

(faux Ora 01111 ROKZ, Decal. It is now asserted that political motives have act been entirely foreign to the Marquis Campana's arrest and rigorous treatment, although his adminit tration of the Monte di Piet" is made the plausible pretest for his ruin. It is attain that one of Cardinal Antonelli's brothers has been promised the place of Director of the Monte for a long time. The police imagined that they had got the clue to some mysterious political complot by arresting the marquis's med ica l attendant, Dr. Petacei, last week. It appears that, on leaving his patient, the doctor was presented with a glove by the marquis, asif ho had dropped it, or was leaving it inadvertently behind him. The gendarme, who was present at the interview, suspected some correspondence, but did not examine the glove. On the doctor's next visit, however, the glove again changed hands, whilst the atient's pulse was being felt, and the lynx-eyed gendarme, pouncing upon . the said glove, found a little note inside, aspirin the marquis that "the brothers would For:se the secret violable." The doctor was fol. e e d ry in by spies for the rest of the day, and arrested at midnight in his own house. It is affirmed that the mysterious missive had no political meaning whatever, but merely referred to the secret of the agar movie/ea, or artificial marble, for the manufacturing of which the marquis had an establiehment outside the Porta del Popolo, in which the brothers Leva were concerned. The question of the competency of the criminal tribunal to try the prisoner was to have been decided yesterday, but was put off at the request of the advocate for the defence. The terrorist assassins of Ancona received a cheek on the night of the 27th ult. by the simultaneous arrest of twenty of the most notorious characters, who were at once transferred in close carriages to some unknown destination. Tho panic-stncken inhabitants of the town have began to breathe a little more freely since this vigorous mea sure, and the stiletto slumbers for the moment in its sheath.

I have now to state that the Grand Criminal Court of Salerno hare accepted the alto di aecusa of the Procurator-General as against 287 of the prisoners of Sapri, amongst whom our countrymen, Watt and Parks, the engineers of the Cagliari, are found: in other words, a true bill has been found, and the de , mend of the public accuser has been legitimatised. The documents beloeging to the cue are now placed in chancery, and will be open to the inspec tion of the counsel and the friends of the prisoners. This trial will be pending for • great length of tune—perhaps, say soma who understand the forms of the Neapolitan courts, for several months • meantime, those who are in prison will have suffered punishment by anticipation, The gentleman who had been chosen to conduct the die fence of our countrymen is Signor Laurie, who is distinguished by his high integrity and his talents. In Naples he is well known as baring been one of the defenders of Settembrini and others, who were compromised in the affairs of 1848; therefore, what ever can be date by individual effort will be done to secure to our countrymen a full and just consider ation of their case. In addition to what I said of the trial and con demnation of Domenico I.uizzi on a charge of having attemptei to poison his Royal Highness the Count of Aquila, I have to report that no one believes the semnation. I have heard it said that the periti or triers even smoked the cigars which were I alleged to have been poisoned. The trial was con ducted with closed doors, as the law, which I quote, permits in certain given eases. Art. 219 of the Pro. cedars in Criminal Cases says :—" A cause may be' discussed with closed doors when the discussion in a public audience is likely to offend Kood morals or occasion scandal and me inconvenience." The cause which has fore terminated in the condemnation of the confidential servant of his Royal Highness the Count of Aquila, after a yeses imprisonment, may be supposed likely to bays occasioned "scandal or grave inconvenience." As far as lan hear, the ad. vocate for the defence want down to the Ring, by order or sanction of the Procurator-General, to pre sent a report of the trial, and to demand a diminu tion of punishment. It is now said that it has been commuted to exile. If so, it is a rare instance of mercy towards one who wu condemned to death for attempting to poison a royal prince, and proves rather more than it was desired to prove. I must again allude to the case of Mr. Drinkwater, whose property this government has most grossly outraged, and is now on the eve of appropriating against his will. Dung an interview with Lord Clarendon some day last month he was assured by OW Foreign Minister that his case should be taken up and arbitration insisted upoe.

Barber, Iteeenauer, and Co., of Mincing-lane, who stopped on the 3rd in st. , the statement of affaira presented by Mr. Henry Chatteris, the accountant, showed the liabilities to be 32,488 L, viz, 17,7711. to creditors unsecured, 7,0181. to credi tors Partially secured, and 7,1011. liabilities on bills. The assets being leas than 4,0001., a deficiency of no leas than 28,7381. is shown. These results were received with much dissatisfaction, and, after a protracted and angry discussion, it was determined by the creditors to throw the winding-up of the estate into the Court of Bankruptcy. It was accordingly resolved that the partners be requested to sign a declaration of insolvency. The meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Allen, Smith, and Co. who stopped on the 17th ult., was also held yeste rday. The balance-sheet presented by Messrs. Quitter, Ball, and Co., stated the liabilities at 20.3061., and the assets at only 4,6441., leaving a deficiency of 13,7821. The losses which resulted in this deficiency were described as for the most part attributable to the failure of houses at home and abroad connected with the Swedish trade. It is an important feature in the ease, however, that the claims of the creditors are likely to be satisfied in full by means of the private estate of Mr. Allen, which was stated by Mr. M'Llsed, the solicitor, co be of sufficient value to cover even any increase in the deficiency, should such arise in connexion with liabi lities which ought properly to be met by other par ties. There may, however, be some difficulty in the proposed arrangement, for it is stated that the bulk of Mr. Allen's private estate has been settled upon some of his relatives. It was ultimately resolved to wind up the estate under inspection. The Frustum Ownspeadinser says :—" The Mi nisters of the latalor and lifssance hems Wearied a circolaz Is all the governors of the &bide of the kingdom, having thr object to invent the this el Sense Highness' being gins to persons who lam so right to It. Serious abuses have, says the cheeks., taloa piece at this subject, and tend Is remove the limits which mepand• the high from the in tutor nolidity. The circular pefate oat the laws end ordi nances which regulate such matters, and enjo no attention to this. The title of ' Serene Highness' in Prussia, it says, only belongs to twenty-four families; the others having only • right to the dignity of prince." According to the correspondent of the Indepen dence Belo, the groat majority otthe strangers who are pre sent at the Jeufoose trial et Emus, are English—more es pecially Baglish ladies. "Same of the latter," it is said, "have marts Incredible effects to obtain admission into the Palais de Justice." The Press thinks that the frequent eabinet coun cils which hay. bc3n hold during the pest week are nt.• without peculiar significance. " Kintner. see conscious of their weakness, and dread the approaching notion. Great differences of opinion are known to exist among them ; and over and above the dangers of disunion, their marked in feriority In debate mast cause them the deepest anxiety!' Notwithstanding them oirmunstances, however, the Press thinks it unlikely that the composition of the cabinet will be materially altered. "No man of talent will link himself to a broken cabinet for the sake of • bad =me; and whatever Is to be demanded of the parliament of 1858, we now roe be • ibre ea the men who ere to do it."

Tag iVESTERN BANK OF GLOSOOW.—The report of the Committee of Staroholders appointed to inves tigate the affairs of the Western Beak, was laid before a meeting beta in Glasgow yesterday (Thursday) ; and surely • more dismal picture of mismanagement hoe rarely been presented to public view. It will be remembered that at the ant meeting of depositors on the 18th of November, • report was presented by the Director., which stated that the smote of the mary were 9,388,1841 , and the liabilities, 7,671,8411., "Laving,' so these gentlemen grandly expreseed it, " • million and threnqueriers as a guarantee to the public of the company's assets." Bad this statement been anything like c the Bank might, with a little forbearance, have been enabled ve to resume banner again. Bat there were suspicions that it was delusive. The mysterise of Glasgow trade and money traimactiona began to be " smoked " b 7 suspicious coeditors; sad soother statement wee demanded from the dirsotars. The second 'sport of these gentlemen was rather more modest. They admitted a loss of 800,0001. ; and Mr. Meraing, the manager, was so candid as to edd, on behalf of the &edam " that they did sot mean to imply that their &set loss amounted to only that sum." This terrible mar gin ter doubt led to the appointment of a committee of the shareholders to investigate 11111 afour of the noncan tho roughly ; and yesterday, same have elated, their report wan submitted toe meeting of their companions in misfortune. Its main fact may be given in • 'entente :—Tbe Weetetn Bank ha. lost by be transactions, 2,020.5851.—that to, it has loot its own capital of 1,600,0001., its "rest" 1 of 215,8921. (If ever such • fund existed wee in name), and 304,8921. of money belonging to the public I If we compere this statement with the statement submitted by the directors to the meeting of depositors on the 18th of November—exactly one short month ago—we fled that the hank is in • worse potato by upwards of 2,0000001. than they sepeended it. Instead of haviag •narplus of 1,798,8481. over its nannies, it shows a detce/ncy of 304,0821. This was a mistake of anormina dtheasions, b • mistake it wits. Memsenne we do not cars to 0.11 it any worse Issas, although, when we redact that th e false ly favounthle stair vont of tire 18th November wee made for the purpose of in ducing depantan to allow their money to remain to the bear* hands, it is • quantal whether it does sot disarm • worse name, and perhaps something beam—Behnke/1k Inevem. The Gimpy , Day Mail lays," The emu d Whin /Omitted to the shareholders is the blackest account ever INNS la Beceland." GOING 70 MEET THE MAIL STEAMS& The Royal Mail steamship Parana was telegraphed from Hurst Coeds at 10 p.m. on Thursday. The Custom. house boats, with Dr. Wiblin. the quarantine Aker, and the London newspaper correspondents in other boata, immedi ately pushed off to meet her. She ought to have arrived at her anchorege at midnight. The night was intensely dark, and there wee gamete a gale of wind blowing from the south west. The boats lay off Cadlead Creek, rad the sea being rough the Coetome boat bad to bo baled out repeatedly. The wind coming from the English Channel, and passing over Smilaxes bleak and barren heath, bowled and shrieked through Cadlend wools, which scarcely afforded any shelter to the boats. The people in them. wrapped up in costs and cloaks, and only comforted by the cheering cheroot, were anxiously watching for the Parana, to telegraph her news to London. The Calahot floatingand revolving light, warmly risible some miles off, was every two or three minutes lifted high in the air by the rolling of the sea, and, multiplied salt ascended by the atmospheric wave., looked exactly like a sky rocket after it has burst with its numerous stars descending. The akyrocket is a nail packet's signal, and several time it was thought the Parana was rounding Celehot spit. The wash of the ma against the shore, grips, and buoys in the river sounded often like the distant nom of paddle wheels. The straining of the eye through the darkness caused the lights to seem blood red, like ship's lights in the offing. Hour after hour the watchers remained there, rocking monotonously in their boats, with black maims of water rising and falling all around them, waiting for the Parana. At length after waiting nearly four tom all hopes of the Parana coming up that night ceased, and the boats steered fur Southampton. At half-part 8 yesterday morning the Parana was descried approaching Calabot Castle. It appears that she canto inside the Needles, and it wat in. tended that she should come right up to Southampton, and she therefore signalled to the telegraph station at Hurst Castle, but tho night war ea dark and the wind so rough that ft was thought better to anchor in Yarmouth-roads for the night, in company with the Tagus and Magdalena, two out,- ward bound steamers, which lay-to there.

On Wednesday evening a fearful, and, so tlir ea we may at present draw an inure - nee from the facts that have reached us, a moot cruel end deliberate murder was com mitted at Lyntott, in North Devon. A young man named John Barwick, a wet of jobbing-labourer in the town, hot for some months past kept company with a young Tonna named Maria Blackmer, in Lynton. On Wednesday even ing she sent a messenger to Barwick, desiring him to cane across to her mothees residence, as she denied to speak with him. He at once complied. went to the deceased so requited, and remained in conversation with her for more then • quarter of an hour, in the passage leading to her mother's residence. What the nature of that convereation weer la not known, but immediately following the poor gill rushed into the room In which her nether woe, covered with blood, and after exclaiming, " Oood Clod, mother, I ern bleeding :" she instantly fell on the floor, and died. It would appear that the man Bee wick struck the poor girl in the neck with his deep knife, which he had sharpened the same morning, completely severing the arteries, which, there ma be no doubt, wee the immediate cause of death. After giving the poor girl her death-blow. Barwick would appear to have returned to his home dirertly, on reaching which he said, "I have due It," upon which his goer mid, "Done what P" Barwick re joined, "Done for Maxis ;" at the some time brandishing his clasp- knife, with gents of blood upon it, adding, "And if you don't mind I will do for you Mo.' Of some an alum bad in the meentime been given. Mr. Clark, surgeon, wee called in, and pronounced th e poor girl beyond all surgical aid, end in kw than an hoar Barwick was In custody charged with the murder. It Is stated that the prisoner had been drinking in the mg-typal of the day, but that be was apparently sober at the time of the tragical occurrence narrated above. The coroner's inquest as the body will be held this day. (Friday) when it is fully believed that the above foots will be proved la evidence. Protestor Ritter, in a meeting of the Geographical Society at Berlin which took place on the 6th, teed a letter from Madame Pfeiffer, which states that her good graces with the Court of Madepacer lasted hat fear week*, and that afterwards the Queen aeddenly altered her behaviour towards the Europeans to inch a degree that she pve orders to behead them. It was owing only to the ht. tennediation of the prince, that this order wee chenged for that of expulsion. The Harpers, of New York, give Mr. Thacker'' , 2,000 dole. for early proof-sheets of his story, " Ths Virgi nians." They gave a similar sum to Mr. Dickens for sheets of " Little Dordt." The lino York Tribune, they complain. has begun to reprint the chapters of "The Virginians' in Its columns ; an act against which lb. Harpers protest, fa the ['steroids of English authors. It is impossible, they say, for any home to pay 2,000 dole. for a work that will hs reprinted. The Tribune replies that Messrs. Harper have always been the inveterate antagonists of a copyright law, and h►ve repeatedly been guilty towards °thereof the Injea lice of which they new complain. We read in the Leader:—"The Marquis of Nor , menby's version of the incidents of 1848 will not remain un answered. M.

Written in the English language, and In. spired throughout by English feeling, this work will peoba• bly procure for its author eirh an English recognition m wear yet obtained.
