Imperial cannon cumbered the station, and more cannon, in charge of a detachment of Croats, were being brought along the road by which we drove. At the gates and drawbridges, however, were un mistakable Italians. They strolled up and down the causeway, and stood in groups before the guard houses with the air of having garrisoned Mantua for six months past. They make themselves quite at home here, as they have a right to do. They are at home, and are liked by their new neigh bours. It is a long time since 'AI intua has seen soldiers and people living together upon such cor dial terms. A common watchword unites all hearts. "Italy " is the word, with such further mention of the King and of Garibaldi as may suit individual feeling. The people have voted EA masse for Italian unity, have pla carded their walls with loyal and patriotic sentiments, have filled their shop windows with Garibaldi's portrait, and are eagerly looking for ward to the arrival of Victor Emmanuel. It is market-day, and the streets are full. There are sweetmeat stalls, and stalls for selling tricolour flags. There are wheels of fortune and other light diver sions. I have been waiting patiently near the mail phaeton of an itinerant dentist, to see whether he would keep his word and relieve the sufferings of two unhappy objects summoned by him to an elevated position at his aide. But the painless tooth extraction was not to be performed in public, not, at least, without an hour's speechifying about patent tooth powder. " What," said he, raising his voice almost to a scream, "do you think that mine are not Italian drugs I Garibaldi uses this mixture. His cry is, Viva l'ltalia,' and he uses this." The crowd, much impressed, shouted " Viva Garibaldi," and it is probable that many bottles were sold on the strength of the hero's patrols ; Tuesday evening's concet ' to have sung), will, we trust, allay the feeling of I disappointment which was created—especially as the music then set down for him was so admirably sung by Mr. Cummings. It is unnecessary to enter into fuller details of Mr. Costa's , oratorio a work of which we have spoken fully on former occasions nor need we say how finely Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr. Santley sang those pieces in which they have before been so successful. Mr. Cummings also was the original singer of the music of Gehazi ; as was Madame Tindery:lora: of that of the Shuns.- ' mite Woman. The music of Adah, formerly , assizned to Slane. Adelina Patti, was given by Mane. Tietjens, who sang with alttrnate bril liancy and pathos, and proved herself as excellent in the more serious and chastened forms of expres sion as in the declamatory style of stage music. Madame Anna Drasdil's charming contralto voice and excellent method were again conspicuous on this occasion, and seem to promise in her a most valuable accession u, the ranks of oratorio singers. The interest of the morning was, of course, en hanced by the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, her Majesty the Queen of Denmark, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, who were conducted to seats of honour opposite the orchestra. The general company included the Earl of Leicester, Lord and Lady Stafford, Lord and Lady Suffield, Viscount Newry, Lady Hen niker, Sir G. Nugent, Colonel Custance, Lieut.- General Knollys, Mr. E. Fellowes, 'M.P., Dlajor I Grey, Sir F. Crossley, Bart.,M.P., Mr. R. J. H. I Harvey, M.P., the High Sheriff of Norfolk, Mr. Tvssen Amhurst, Mr. E. Howes, M.P., Major Marsham, Lord and Lady Hastings, Lord Waling ham, Lord Chelsea, the Ven. Archdeacon Bouverie, Sir J. Boileau, Lady Durrant, Colonel Fitzroy, Major-General Carthew, Lady Rayleigh, Sir S. Bignold, Major-General Prior, Sir E. H. K. Lacon, Bart., M.P., &c. After the opening . anthem, which was effectively rendered, the oratorio Naanian, which formed the great feature of the morning, was proceeded with. tom. Li the Paine° and Princess, the Queen of Denmark, an, the Duke of Edinburgh and their suites were escorted to scats of honour in an enclosed 'pace opposite the orchestra. Lieutenant Haig is equerry in waiting to the Duke of Edinburgh. The journey of the royal party to Costeesy yesterday wee accomplished very agreeably ; the general arrangements of Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Sproal, andthe other offi cis la of the Great Eastern Railway being very satisfactory. A crimson carpet was laid down on the station platform, and to the entrance of the station, where carriages were in waiting. The Dereham volunteers, under the comniaml of Captain Ifulwer, were drawn up in line in front of the station, and had the honour of presenting anus to the Prince and his party as they were being escorted to their iairriages. The Earl of Leicester and Lord Stafford were in waiting on the platform to receive the royal travellers, and were intro duced by the Prince and Princess to the Qneen of Denmark, who took the arm of Lord Stafford, while the Princess ac cepted that of Lord Leicester. The Queen of Denmark. the Prince and Princess, and Lord Stafford mitered a car riage drawn by four fine bays, and drove off at once to Coatessy-hall. which was reached about 6 p.m. The 'bake of Edinburgh and his &merry drove to the lodgings of the high sheriff at Norwich, which thi.7 reached about the same time. Costessy-park was visited last evening by at least 1,000 persons. When the royal visitors arrived coloured lights were burned on the tower of the hall, and the royal standard was hoisted. It had become dusk, butt the hall was soon brilliantly illuminated. Over the portico was a floral star, and above it the word " We lcome" surmounted with the 'rince of Wales's plume. The battlements and windows of the hall were outlined, and a large star was placed in the centre of either wing. Later in the evening there wan an effective and brilliant display of fireworks. including the following designs " God save the Queen,' with a revolving globe above these time honoured word; ; a temple with a transparency, " Hail, our illustrious Prince and Priuceu of Wales to Costessy ;" a grand Saxon piece, &c. There is only one drawback to the Prince's visit, viz., that it is so short. Ills Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales. and the Queen of Denmark will leave Costesay (which is about four miles from Norwich) to-morrow. The Duke of Edinburgh will, however, stay on with the high I sheriff. THE PRESS IN RESSIA.—The Northern. Post of St. Petersburg announces that the Russian journal the Vint (News) has received • second warning for having, when alluding to the nomination of • governor-general, made some remarks on the qualities of his predecessor, and by so doing having set an example " which might lead other journals to publish articles not in accord with senti ments of propriety, with the dignity of the service of the state, or with the obligations incumbent on the periodical press." THE BOMBAY MAIL.—ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 30. — The Syria left at 11 a.m. and the Delta at noon to-day. The former may be expected at Marseilles on the sth, and the latter at Southampton about the 12th inst. Sir Roundell Palmer, Q. C., M.P., yesterday laid the foundation stone of new schools at Islington in the pre sauce of a numerous assemblage of the clergy and laity. The schools are to be situated in the Hemingford-road, on the east side of the Caledonian-road, and are intended for the large and rapidly-increasing district of St. Thomas's, which was founded some years ago out of the old parish of His Imperial Majesty Don Pedro the Second of Brazil has been pleased to confer on our countryman, Edward Pellew Wilson, E s q., the honour of the Imperial order of the Ruse, by decree of 6th September, 1666.

On their arrival in the -•- "• , .crk of Den , -- .k, -al The Rev. J. R. Major, D.D., has resigned the head-mastership of King's College School, a post which he had occupied for no leas than thirty-six years. He was the first master who taught in the school, and he commenced with a class of forty boys. Since that time upwards of 5,000 have passeethrough the school, all experiencing more or leas directly the influence of his cultured intel lect and kindly supervision. It is not a little to Dr. Major's credit that he was the first to simplify the study of the Greek language by translating Schrevelius's lexicon into English. In old times Latin was the language in which Greek lexicons were compiled. However suitable that tongue may be for criticism—and there is no doubt that it pos sesses at :vantages when applied to critical notes upon Greek authors—it is certainly inferior to Eng lish in the fulness and richness requisite for ren dering the signification of Greek words. By this and other numerous contributions to classical rature Dr. Major has earned for himself the re spect of all interested in the advance of education. It is from a feeling that one who has laboured for so unusually long a period in a very arduous task should not pass away without some public recog nition, that numerous friends and old pupils have formed themselves into& committee with the object of presenting Dr. Major with a testimonial expres sive of their kindly feelings towards a respected teacher. A testimonial of this nature is probably one of the very few to which no reasonable objec tion can be raised. It is unconnected with any party cry in politics, or theological creed. It is simply an expression of attachment to an old and valued friend, who has dune his duty well, and taken no small part in the dittiusion of sound and useul education. Under these circumstances, we trust thin: the testimonial may be of such a nature as to prove that long, and probably sometsalies wearisome, service in a noble cause dues lint go without recognition at the hands of thought:id Englishmen. Contributions, we are inforieed, should be sent to the treasurer, Dr. Itlonitinkl Jackson, Kings College. THE ROYAL VISIT TO NORWICH. NORWICH, WED:MIDAT EVINING. This has been a day long to be remembered in the annals of old Norwich. The weather was very gloomy and dispiriting yesterday, and great fears were entertained for the success of the pageant which bad been organised in honour of the visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince THE CHOLEEA.

THE REt sitcM LEarrun.---At this rnet.ing ..f the council of the Reform League, held last ev. Mr. Edmond Beales, who presided, n ferred to the lanipiet to Mr. Bright in Dublin as an event of great importance. There would be a meeting of the trades in Dublin en Fri. day at which Mr. Bright would be present, ail to which the National Reform Union bad sent a depitt. n. He therefore thought it was the duty of the kaaue to acids deputation from their body to be present at the meeting, and to disieminate the principles of the league in the sister country. Mr. Joseph Guadalla propused, Mr. Bubb secuaded, and it was agreed, "That a delilltill;011frulil this pleaue consisting of Messrs. Mantle and Conolly, em. owered to attend the trades meeting in Dublin on Friday next" SiNnt:LAR Sr A strange incident occurred on hoard one of the steamers belonging to the Portsmouth and Ryde Packet Company, on Tuesday ec. :.ing. It • appears that the Prince Consort, Captain Clialmer, left Hyde at six o'clock, and when about midway between the Isle of Wight and the mainland, a male icissenger cud denly rushed on deck, out of the cabin, and sprang over the bulwarks into the sea. An alarm was imilteilLtely raised, and the engines were stopped. Colrain Clailiner at once ordered a boat to be lowered, and the crow rowed about the place for about ten minutes, hut the search was unsuccessful, and the steamer continued her vor,,ge. The passenger was unknown to everybody on board the steamer, and had only been spoken to by the mete, who collected his fare, but did not observe anything extraordinary in Lis manner. THE CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT IqAII.STONE.— An inquest was held on Tuesday, at the Tow Lail, Maid atone, upon the body of Sarab Smith, the woman supposed to have been murdered on Sunday last. Evidence was given by a woman named Saunders, a neighbour, that she had heard cries of murder from the house. and that on her entering she found the man in custody (Jolley) stand ing over the deceased, who was lying on the ground bleed ing from the nose, and that he several times kicked her. Mr. Hoar, surgeon, however, stated as the result of his post-mortem examination that no bruises, externally or • internally, were to be found, but the brain and spinal cord of the deceased were extensively congested. In hie opinion death resulted from apoplexy, which milht have been accelerated by drink and excitement, but had no violence been used towards the deceased death would hive taken place. The jury found that death had been accele. ' rated by violence, and returned a verdict of " Manalaugh. ter" against John Jalley.
