Pens attention during the past week has been engrossed more by political than by financial events. The interest which attaches to the Italian question has fur the time thrown all other topics into the shade. Yet there are many matters which deserve serious consideration from the trading classes. Foremost among these is the failure of the Royal Bank of Liverpool. A disaster of this kind is at all times productive of distrust. If it occur in a period of panic, it inevitably aggra vates to a certain extent the general alarm ; but, on the other hand, the public are in some measure prepared for the event. It is very well known that when credit is practically dead, and the richest and best houses in the kingdom can obtain accom modation with difficulty at 10 to 13 per cent., some country banks are almost sure to succumb. Last year it was with no small surprise that the public perceived how little appa rent harm was caused to the banking interest by the stoppage of OVF.REND, iURNEY, and Co. The necessary inference was drawn, that if these esta blishments were able to pans through a more cri tical ordeal than they had been subjected to for forty years, their position must be such as to defy all chance of danger. As a rule, a commercial crisis has been the infallible test of the soundness of either a great bank or of a mercantile firm. This general conclusion has not proved infallible. The Royal Bank of Liverpool escaped the perils of 186 e. it has fallen now from a raismanrement continued for a series of years, which under ordi nary acceptation must have brought about its stoppage eighteen months ago. It survived the trial, but has at length fallen in times of compara tive quiet. When money is in overflowing abundance, and lenders are glad to take 1 or per cent., it is evident that the Royal Bank could have experienced no difficulty in getting any sums they required, provided always that their securities would bear the test of examination. Unfortunately this is not their case. Imprudent, it is reported even irregular, advances have been made, and the consequences have been, first, heavy losses, and then the closing of the bank's doors. The hope of a resumption of business seems to be gradually dying away. Grievous as the loss will be to the proprietors of this unfortunate concern, it can be of no appreciable consequence to the nation at large. Probably about 700,0001. or 800,000/. of capital only has been wasted. The only fear is the effect that the event may have upon the public mind. It is a fair presumption that the Royal Bank of Liverpool is an exception to the general run of bank management, but it is a hard task to make people believe so. In monetary affairs nothing is more easy than to excite suspicion, and nothing more difficult than to allay it. At the same time, there is no judging of the caprice the public constantly show in these questions. At the ' , regent moment, as we have already ob served, they have something else to think about than the stoppage of a country joint-stock bank. Italy, Rome, the possibility of a Continental war, are of moire importance, and the greater subject shuts out the lesser. Hence as yet there has been little said about the affair, apart from those directly interested. tinder slightly altered cir cumstances this suspension might have caused much greater uneasiness than has actually been felt. As it is there has been more than enough, although it is morally certain that scarcely any other bank in the kingdom is reputed to have squandered away its resources in loans on unsale able shipping. Another important question also is the state of the corn market. We have had a sudden and extreme rise ; an equally sudden reaction ; and then a fresh tendency to advance. It is generally understood that the first movement was in a great degree due to speculation. Still the bond fide purchases were large. The French bought consi derably, and the speculators, seeing this demand, ran up the price until, as usual, they overshot the mark. Numerous arrivals being announced, and the out-turn of our own crops proving better than anticipated, there was an immediate relapse. Heavy losses, however, must necessarily have been experienced by purchasers of floating cargoes for immediate delivery. These wide fluctuations are productive of nothing but harm. They simply foster a spirit of gambling which is already too rife. hi this case it is some satisfaction to know that those who have speculated the most have lost the most, and that the regular dealers have suffered comparatively little. Again, what are the prospects of the money market? A decline in the bullion at the Bank has not been followed by its usual consequence of a rime in the rate of interest. It is not likely that any further sums will go, since the supplies arriving from Australia will suffice to meet, and perhaps more than meet, the continental denvoid. ♦ portiou will probably go into the Beak, and as r 1 THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2B, 18h7. the coin required fur the harvest sad other pur lame* must now be returning, the bullion may shortly he expected again to show an increase instead of a decrease as during the last week or two. As it is, we call very well afford to spare the sums that have gone. The rate of discount has been hardly influenced by these temporary withdrawals, and is still too low to indicate any approach to the anxiously looked for revival of thole. While .:outinental atlairs remain in their pre,cut state of uncertainty it would of course be oi,less to look for this change. Hence the pro spects before its during the winter are an increasing supply of bullion front the colonies, and no ade quate means for using it, the only exception perhaps being some withdrawals by the Government for the.% byssiiiian expedition. This is no satisfactory feature. It is often as hurtful to have too much as too little. The more is.. now, since it means that we have so much capital that our stagnant trado does not permit us to employ. The rise in the corn market, and the discussion on the price of meat, bring before us the old ques tion of how the holders of fixed incomes are to meet the constantly decreasing exchangeable value of money. During the last ten years the diffi culty has been attempted to be solved by selling out of the Government funds, yielding but a low rate of interest, and investing in new securities which gave perhaps nearly double the return. This phut succeeded admirably for the time, but the collapse of joint stock companies last and present years, and the suspension of dividends upon some of the best known and most valued railway preference stocks, have caused the annuitants to take alarm. Fresh investors were deterred by the fear that if they get more interest they were exposed to the risk of seeing their capital, if not altogether lost, at least tem porarily useless and inconvertible. Present holders found that they could not sell on fair terms, since there were no buyers. This distrust ' has latterly abated, yet it is evident that first-class railway securities are far less eagerly sought than two years ago. At the same time, the small holders of capital show no great desire to invest in Consols, where, if they got but 31 per cent., at least they could count upon perfect safety. Apparently they are seeking in some way for compensation against the reduced rate of interest they may at length be compelled to accept. The agitation on the food question may reasonably be inferred to be directly or indirectly one of the means. Eh, Court. IiALMORAL, Om. 25. The Queen went out with him:es/5 Louise in the morning, and her Majesty time with Prince and Princess Christian in the afternoon. The Duke of lhickinglaant had the honour of rainier with the queen .and the loyal family. OCT. The Queen drove out with Princess Louise and Prince !ovoid, »vended by Lady Ely. Prince and Princeqi Christi an and Prince Chriptian Victor, attended IT llalmoral for Frugniorc. The Prince of Wales went out shooting in Windsor Croat Park ma Satunlay, accompanied by Prince Edward of f.:axe Weimar, and attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel. The Pritter,s of lVales drove out, attended by Viscountess Walden. The Prince of Wales, with Lieutenant• Colonel Keppcl in waiting, attended divine service yesterday morning. A Committee of the Lords of her Majesty 'a Most lion. l'rivy Council sat on Saturday at the Privy Council-office, on the subject of the cattle plagne. The lords present were Lord Hobert Montagu and the Right Iron. Sir Stafford Northcote. Despatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial office from the Governors of Natal, the Mauritius, and from the Governor-General of Canada. Despatches were sent to the Goveinors of Gibraltar, Malta, the North American l'i ovinceo, and Bermuda. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Disraeli left London for Edinburgh on Saturday. There is reason to believe (says the Oh,erve,) that her Majesty has resolved to emerge from the comparative seclusion in which she has lived for so long a period, and that tho nest season will be one of the most brilliant on record during her long and beneficent reign. On Saturday their Royal Highnesses s the Prince and Princess Christian and infant prince ietarned to Windsor from Scotland, arriving at the Windsor terminus of the Great Western Medway by special train. at 11.10 Lan., attended by Lady Susan Melville, Colonel Gordon, and Mr. Englchcart, and were received by Mr. Dawson. The royal party immediately proceeded in a close car riage through the town to Frogmore Lodge. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and infant family will leave Marlborough House early in the week for Sandringham. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Lady Geraldine Somerset and Lent Frederick Paulet, arrived last evening at Cambridge Cottage, Kew, from Paris. The Earl and Countess Spencer arrived at Spencer House, St. James's, on Sataiday, from Paris. The funeral of the Countess of Gaineborough takes place at Exton, Rutlandsbire, on Wednesday. The dining-room has been converted into a chapel, and as the countess was a Roman catholic there will be more than ordinary pomp at the obsequies. Dr. Manning, Archbishop of Westminster, and other leading Roman catholic clergy will assist. OUR CON TEMPORAILIFIS. (THIS DAY.) Lieutenant Moue, of the 6'th Regiment, has met with a serious accident whilst out hunting with the Clonuiel hounds. His horse fell and rolled over him ; a displaced collar-bone and a broken thigh-bone were the moult. RoYAL SPORT IN WINDSOR CREAT PAIIK. Saturday last was the first day's shooting in the royal pre serves of Windsor Greet Park, the game having been specially preserved until the return of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales from the Continent. His royal high ness, accompanied by Prim* Edward of Saxe Weimar, and attended by Count Gleichen and Colonel Koppel, came to Windsor by ordinary train on the Great Western Railway at 11.5 a.m., where the Queen's break hart boss sent to oonvey the royal party to the coverts in Windsor Great Park. They were received at Cranbourue by Major- General F. H. Seymour, deputy ranger, and commenced shooting in one of the preserves near Cranbourne Tower, and afterwards beat the ground in the direction of George the Thistle atatoe at the top of the Long Walk. After some excellent sport in this neighbourhood the royal party retired to Rutter's Deer pen at two o'cloek, where obey partook of luncheon which they had brought with them from Marlbo rough-house. After luncheon they returned to Windsor by the Long Walk, and paid a short visit totheir Royal High nesses the Prince and Primer's Christian at Frognore Lodge. The Prince of Wales, with Prince Edward or ti.i.se Weimar, and attendant', afterwards drove to the Windsor Station, and returned to town by the 4.35 p w, train on the Great Western line. To-day it is expected their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and iefant family will leave Marlborough-house for Sendring ham, where the game has been preserved for the Prince's shooting. THE RETURN OF THE QUEEN FRO3I SCOTLAND.— According to the existing arrangements, her Majesty the Queen, with their Royal Highnesses Princesses Louise and Beatrice and Prince Leopold, attended by the suite, will leave Balmoral, it is expected, on Friday next, after luncheon, en route for Windsor Castle. In the course of the week • special train will be despatched from Euston by the authorities of the London and North Western Railway to the North, to be held in readiness for the con veyance of the illustrious travellers to the South. It will consist of a royal saloon, sevensl double sod single saloons and first-class carriages, making a total of about fourteen vehicles. The train itself is a model one, and the royal saloon will be placed in connexion with the break van by means of the electric system recently invented for this company, and which has attracted much attention. The arrangements over the long route of :asa miles from the western terminus of the I)eeaide line to Windsor have been carried out under the supervision of Mr. Cawk well, general manager of the London and North Western Rail way, and Mr. J. Grierson, of the Great Western line. Her Majesty may thus be expected to arrive at Windsor Castle about nine o'clock on Saturday morning, provided no alte ration is made at the last moment. The recent Fenian disturbances in the north of England would appear to have caused some unesainese in the minds of some of the court officials, and. as • precaution, the exact time fixed for the actual departure from the North and arrival of the Queen's train at the various stations will, it is understood, not be made public till the day before the journey. DEATH OF MR. C. W. PACER, M.P.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. Charles Win. Pack", which took place last evening after a protracted illness, at his house, Richtuond.termee, WhitehmlL The deceased was a conservative in politics, and had for up wards of thirty years represented the southern division of Leicestershire in the House of Commons. He was the eldest son of the late Mr. Chas. J. Packe, of Prestwohl Hall, Leiceirterahire, by Penelope, eldest daughter of Mr. Richard Dugdale, of Blythe Hell, Warwickshire.

Colin Lindsay, M.P., was cutting a branch of a tree with an axe in the early part of last week. the instru meat slipped and inflicted a severe wound on the lower part of the leg, and caused a contusion of the shin-hone. It is to be feared that his recovery will be tedious. ACCIDENT TO MR. CREATES, LATE M.P. FOR WARWICIL—This gentleman was thrown out of his carriage the other day, in consequence of the horse he was driving taking fright, as he was retorting from Chesterton to his residence at Avonbank, near liarford. Mr. Greaves was somewhat severely injured, having fractured one of lAA ribs end the ulna of the left arm. lie is now progressing favourably. ILLNESS OF MR. ROZBEC3, M.P.—Mr. Roebuck has written to the master cutler at Sheffield, begging him to exonerate him from his promise to attend the cutlers' feast, in consequence of a painful and weakening attack of illness. Tttg Ray. C. H. SPUROEOL—For two addi tional Sundays—yesterday and yesterday week—has the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon been compelled, by a return of his former complaint, rheumatic gout in the legs, coupled now with another painful ailment, lumbago, to absent himself from the Metropolitan Tabernacle. The rev. gen tleman was, however, so far recovered as to be able to take riding exercise on Saturday, and he will proceed to the country to-day, where he will remain until the end of the week. DR. NORMAN MACLEOD. —Oll Friday night a meeting was held in the Barony Mission Church, Glasgow, for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Dr. Boman Macleod. The Barony congregation presented three por traits and a cabinet to their pastor, and at the same time Mrs. Macleod received a marble bust of her husband, which had been subscribed for by 400 of the working men of Glasgow. MR. E. MIALL AND THE BRADFORD ELECTION.— Mr. B. Kell. chairman of Mr. Miall's executive committee, has received a letter from Mr. Miall, of which the follow. ing is an extract:—" I would not willingly part with the experience I have had during the last fortnight ; it bas dime rne a world of good. I very gratefully accept it as a high reward, after the exertions I have been called to put forth on behalf of our common principles. In review of our recent struggle I see much to encourage, nothing to depress me. With each a band of faithful and zealous co-workers as that by which I was surrounded I would rather share defeat than with a less noble brotherhood win a triumph. As you have opportunity, I pray you to com municate my thanks to all my friends, and let them know from me that I am more than satisfied with their conduct. Their moral gallantry inspires me with fresh hope for the future. and will greatly support me in the continuance of my public course." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. • llt remains to be leen whether the King's pro &nation will be known jai Rowe early enough to prodobe any discouragentent in the city before THE ROMAN CRISIS. ;Garibaldi's expected *IA. The telegrams from Italy announce that a victory of some conseyience was obtained by Garibaldi over the Papal forces on the 25th (Friday last). The French expeditionary force which saileil from Toulon on Saturday lemming should have am•rived at Civita Vecchia some time yesterday evening, the 27th. Supposing that 1; aribaidi was in a condition to move on Rome after the battle, or probably the two battles which he fought on the 25th, he would arrive before the city walls on the evening of the Stith or the morning of the 27th. He would, therefore, have a clear day's start of the French even if they advanced at once from Civita Vecchia, between which point and Route there is a railway. A report exists that orders were given to the French commander not to move front Ci vita Vecchia until he got further directions— until ill fact an ultimatum had been sent to Victor Emmanuel and his reply had been received. It would not occupy a great deal of time to obtain his reply by telegraph, but still any detention of the French expeditionary force in Civita Vecchia would be turned to good account by Garibaldi. Ho might destroy a portion of the railway be tween Rome and Civita Vecchia, which would give him still more time to operate against the former. There would not be much hope however, of his entering the city before the French, fortified as it is, without artillery, unless he was sup ported by a vigorous insurrection of the Romans inside. The presence of Garibaldi before the walls of Rome and the knowledge of his victory would probably rouse the citizens to a more general and more vigorous outbreak than any they appear as yet to have attempted. In that case and in that alone, does there seem to be any well founded ex pectation of Garibahli's triumphal entry to the • capitol. But aided by a rising in the city ho may • succeed in his desperate attempt. What will be the action of the Italian government in the present diffi cult situation is the thought and question of every one. What the wishes and hopes of the Italian people are there can be no doubt, and if the follow ing reply of Victor Emmanuel to an address pre sented to him by Signori Ghivizzani and Gambia ram, which we extract from the Florcuty Gotrttet and which also appears in the /Yritto, were authen tic, it would seem that he was determined to stand or fall with tha nation. The King spoke as fol lows Assure your fellow-citizens that I am with them, and that they may have full confidence in me. Twenty years ago, with mold and pen, I fought for Italy; and you know that we have pared through crises as difficult as the present with success. Tell the people that my past seems to me to deserve their full confidence, and that it is impossible for me to do anything which does not always aim at the glory of the nation. Insults or threats I have not received—neither I nor the nation ; nor should I now or ever tolerate them. Oh ! be sure that in that ease I should have risked all, certain that the nation would be with me. I am anzMus for the fulfilment of our destinies. But the Italian people must trust me, and be united with me. Together we have done great things, and if the emergency should arise, we shall be ready to per form other deeds for the glory of the country. Be assured that by sage resolutions our aim will be soon obtained. Tell your fellow-citizens that Rattessi has always been a true patriot and my friend. We wish him well, for ho deserves it. Let the Italians then be quiet and trustful ; let them have faith in me, I repeat ; let us be wise, and we shall soon see an ern of happiness for all accomplished in accordance with the wishes of the whole nation. When parliament is assembled I shall take care that it turns its attention to the army and navy, whose netters is bound up with that of the nation, but mitigate somewhat your 'enemas impalas, and believe that I also sometimes suffer from having to restrain myself. AUSTRIA.-THE CONCORDAT. The Austrian Chamber, in ita sitting on the rod, not only adopted the law providing for civil mar riage, but shortened the period proposed by the committee of interval before it was to come into operation from three months to forty-tire days. The Poles voted for the bill withthe Leftand theCentre, and conse4 l uently, the majority was very large. This is the first breach in the Concordat. Mixed unions between Christians of various sects are allowed unreservedly. If a priest refuses to bless a mixed marriage he is put aside and the civil mar_ riage proceeded with. In short the whole jurisdic tion of marriage affairs is taken from the religious tribunals and transferred to the civil. The bishops meanwhile continue to fulminate against the Reichs rath and the government. (asurra•a Tram:ism.) THE ROMAN QUESTION. " If," says the Diritl4J, " the 'Zing's language be faithfully reported, it gives the most formal lie to the swaggering of the 3foniteur and L i Fruar...." It will be seen, however, from the King's pro clamation, that he does not support the action of the Garibaldians, and that he has recalled his subjects from the Papal territory. . _ _ An official order has been issued from the Ministry of Marine calling under arms the troops of the royal navy belonging to the classes of 1842 and 1443, and also the machinemen, firemen, and artillerymen of the classes 1840 and 1841. PROCLAMATION OF THE KING OF ITALY. FLORENCE, Ocr. V, Eviatim Addresses continue to be sent to Victor Em manuel from all parts of Italy calling on him to act in accordance with the wishes of the nation. Genoa, Lodi, Udine, Naples, and Venice have had meetings fur this purpose, and the Deputy G norms has agreed to preside over one to be held in Milan. The following proclamation of King Victor Em manuel to the Italian people has just been issued in this capital: " Italians ! Bands of volunteers, excited and seduced by a party without my authorisation or that of my government, have violated the frontier of the state. The respect equally due by all citizens to the laws and international stipulations sanctioned by parliament and by me under these serious cir cumstances prescribes an inexorable debt of honour. Europe knows that the flag raised in territories adjacent to ours, and upon which is inscribed destruction to the supreme spiritual authority of the head of the catholic religion, is not mine. This attempt places our common country in the inost serious danger. It imposes upon me the imperious duty of saving at the same time our honour and the country, and of not confounding in one two causes absolutely distinct, two different objects. Italy must be secured against the dangers she may run. Europe must be convinced that faithful to her engagements Italy does not desire to be and cannot be the dis turber of public order. A war with our ally would be a fratricidal war between two armies who have fought for the same cause. As holder of the right of peace or war I cannot tolerate its usurpation. I feel confident therefore that the voice of reason will be listened to, and that the Italian citizens who have violated that right will promptly withdraw behind the line of our troops. The dangers which disorders and rash schemes may create amongst us must be appeased by maintaining the firm authority of the govern ment and the inviolability of the laws. The honour of the country is in my hands, and the confidence the nation has shown in me during the saddest periods cannot fail me. When calm shall be re stored to men's minds and public order shall be fully re-established, according to the vote of parliament my government, in agreement with that of France, will endeavour with all loyalty to make a practicable arrangement, cal culated to put an end to the serious and important Roman question. I have had, and always shall have, confidence in your wisdom ; as you have had in the affection of your King for this great country, which, thanks to our common sacrifices, we have at least restored to the number of nations, and which we must hand down entire and honoured to our children." The Central Aid Committee of Florence have published the following details of the outbreak in the city of Rome : On the evening of the 22nd, between 5 and G o'clock, the Papal government displayed all its strength. The Capitol, the Piazza del Popolo, Monte Pineio, and all the strategy tical points of the city were occupied, the public passages were stopped, and circulation forbidden to the in• habitants. This unusual display of force made a col lision inevitable. About 7 o'clock the report of guns and the bursting of handgrenades were heard in different parts of the city. In au instant there was a general fight. Masses of people advanced towards the Capitol asking for arms and leaders whilst attacking the sentinels with pistols. The troops acted with vigour. In Campo-Vsocino and Ara Cali the struggle wag very severe. The people having no arms were forced to retire, leaving several dead and wounded behind them. At the Pinzza-Colons the body guards were attacked and the sentinels killed. The insurgents took the post there, but being attacked by superior numbers they were obliged to retire towards the Tranatevere. Things went better at the barracks of Serristori and Berge. The barrack was attacked with vigor and blown up with gunpowder. It is not easy to know the number of the killed, but at 8 o'clock this morning no coerces were counted and the sappers were still taking dead bodies out of the ruins. At the Porto del Popolo there was •00111 heavy fighting. Many gendarmes were killed, others disarmed and their arms given to the insurgents. About 700 or 800 young men of the most respectable position endeavoured to make them selves masters of the gate, but reinforcements having arrived they were obliged to retire, and 200 were made prisoner.. It seems that arms were outside the Porto del Popolo for the insurrection, and the object was to bring them into the city during the nizlit. The govern ment obtained knowledge of the place where these arms were concealed, and at 5 o'clock in the evening a column of Zonaves and police surrounded the suspected house. The persona in charge of the depot were attacked and the arms seized. The excitement continues, and it is the opinion of everyone that the affair has only begun . You would imagine that Rome was perfectly calm at present, but the faces of the few whom you meet in the streets betray the disquietude that exists. The government is expecting • new outbreak, and is preparing to resist it. It is said that a state of siege will be proclaimed, but it already exists in fact. The proclamation is signed by the King and all the ministers. The new ministry is formed as follows :—General Menabrea takes the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, with the Presidency of the Council ; Signor Gust terio, Interior ; Signor Cambray Digny, Finance ; Signor Cantelli, Public Works ; General Bertole %Isle, War ; Signor Mari, Justice. Until the com plete formation of the cabinet, General Menabrea will also assume the ad interim direction of the Ministry of Marine ; Signor Cambray Digny, of Agriculture ; and Signor Cantelli, of Public In struction. PARIS, Ocr. 28. The Men;teur of this morning says :—" De spatches from Monte Rotondo state that the Pon tifical garrison remain masters of this place, after two successive assaults upon the part of the Geri baldians. It is believed that, leaving Monte Rotondo behind him, Garibaldi has taken the direction of Rome. A Pontifical column, detached from the garrison of Rome, is advancing to meet his bands." The Matitow also publishes the treaty of com merce and navigation concluded on the 29th July, 1867, between France and the Pontifical states. WEST INDIES. PLYMOUTH, Ocr. . The Royal Mail steamship Atrato, from the West Indies, is reported off here, and is expected to arrive about noon. The .4 rerar Natimbal, referringingood-humoured terms to the plentiful use of compliment. by Earl Gran ville at the dinner at the Hotel de Louvre on Saturday, observes :—" His lordship was lavish all round in court eous words. Even M. Le Play himself has at last found an admirer of his work. Hitherto the huissiers alone have been pleased with the organisation of the Imperial Commission and its President, but in the bouquet of ge neral congratulations composed by Lord Granville should there not be a small flower for M. Le Play ? After M. Le Play, Lord Granville thought of the ladies, and pro posed a tout to them. To-morrow the Illontkor will give us the text of this speech, which was the crowning of the edifice of the little international fCte where they cele brated the sweets of peace, while at Toulon they were embarking French guns." The Northern Whig publishes a protest addressed to the Bishop of Down and Connor by the clergy of his diocese against the observations made by his lordship in the House of Lords in reference to the Irish church. There are 75 names attached, including those of the Arch deacons of Down and Dromore. The protesters complain that his lordship not only did nut refute the statements mado in parliament, but stated that the church was " pos sessed of superfluous wealth," and that "its revenue should be in part confiscated," that four bishoprics and one of the remaining archbishoprics should be suppressed, and the number of the clergy reduced. They also attri bute blame to the bishop for not replying to the observa tions on the church question made in the recent Social Science Congress. Garibaldi addressed the people of Reiti as follows I am truly happy to we once more, after 20 years of absence, this dear city in which I hare re ceived so much generous hospitality, and I am also rejoiced to see so much harmony between the people and the army. This is the guarantee of every thing—of victory. We shall go to Rome. Wo shall go to Rome with the volunteers of the people, and with the brave men of the army. Yes, we shall walk into Rome. This day is the happiest of my life. Your de monstration is a truly astonishing spectacle and I thank you for it. Now adieu ; my heart is with you.

The last word has been spoken, and the challenge is to the death. The struggle, however, is likely to be of the shortest duration. Indeed, within a very few days we may receive the assurance of peace and order Ming restored. One more painful episode to fill up the tragic story is the defeat and death or capture of Geri. belch. Without very serious disturbances within Rome he could almost dash out his brains against its strong walls. Were even any chance to give him the mastery over Rome it would only be for a day. Garibaldi is sure to do an that the most desperate courage can achieve. A. noble life will ho crowned by an even more glorious death. Nothing better can be hoped for Lim; nothing else can be wished. Mere human heroism is not equal to sheeriuipossi bilities. if the Emperor Napeleon meets with opposition from Italy, if the gauntlet is thrown down into his face and he is compelled to take it up, long and large as the peninsula is, it will only be for the French army a triumphant pro menade. Menabrea's cabinet consists of men of high character, and known to fame as liberal and patriotic men; but unless they curb the popular passions, the alternative lies between a Crierti-Mordiai ministry, which would be war, were it even to set Europe on lire, and the King's abdication. Discontented as the Times feels at the course things have taken, and alarmed at the possible results, not only for Italy, but for Europe, it is compelled to avow the Emperor of the French had every right to act as he has done ; nor could he have done anything better calcu lated to restore his popularity in France. It is ordained, observes the Daily Items, that the Papacy shall not disappear as a temporal power until this genera tion has seen bow heavy a curse it can be to mankind, and before its fall the calamities which it is fitted to draw down upon Italy may be mourned in team of blood. The sycophants wbo are impatient to congratulate the man who has trampled on the independence of the youngest of European nations, may before long be able to renew the peens they raised when his army entered Puebla and con quered a camping ground in the capital of the Mexican Republic. But for throwing Italy into the arms of the revolutionary party Europe owes him no thanks. Why the King, who was unable to do the bid ding of a foreign sovereign, did not place himself at the head of the nation we have yet to learn. Perhaps the course to be pursued may ►ppear plainer to him than it did this time last week. If the new government is master of the new situation at home, it will perceive that its situation abroad is not without its advantages, The Emperor has made a choice from which cannot now recede. Now that the Italians are undeceived as to their position they will do well not to be too eager to get rid of their uninvited guest. If they will only be quiet they will soon see him struggling to shake off a load which threatens to sink him in the sea. The Post expresses great sympathy with Italy, but insists that *be is herself to blame for her misfortunes. To the Star the inexorable conditions which fate seems now to impose on the son of Charles Albert are, to risk all and fight France or to abdicate. The Stsisdorst finds no one to blame but Italy. lIIIWELLANLOUS TOPIC 4. The Times gives an amusing amount of the opening session the other day of the Catholic University at Dublin, making were the students are. It denies that there is any grievance left in the present course of opinion and legislation on the subject of the universities. The state is virtually though gradually resuming Into its own hands its inherent and inalienable right of granting de grees. That is the rule, the violation of which would, in deed, constitute an anomaly. But there is no anomaly in the state declining to go backwards in one place when it is going forward everywhere else, and declining to do what everywhere else it is undoing with difficulty, hesitation, and pain, but undoing dill, end likely to undo more. _ . In another column a remarkable plea for a copyright law which has been put forward by the American periodical, the Atlantic Monthly, is noticed at length by the Titan, which expresses the hope that the appeal will not be with out its effect upon representatives, all of whom, we may fairly suppose, have been at some period of their lives in debted to foreign authors, and are not opposed to a fair treatment of their own. The great publishers of the United States are anxious, it is said, to have the law altered ; the authors demand it ; and, if congress can spare a few hours from the great work of reconstructing the South, it cannot devote them to a better purpose than to the consideration of the claims which are now put forward. The Daily Noes assumes provisionally that the govern ment have allowed full weight to various consideration., which seem to show that a proper collection and sifting of evidence in the case of the Fenian trials at Manchester required some little delay, and have found them more than counterbalanced by opposite considerations, which they will be prepared in parliamentary challenge to state. Theirs is the responsibility, and theirs must be the discre. tion. In refusing, however, to fee counsel for the pri soners at Manchester, the present ministry is departing from the example set by Lord Russell's government in the Irish Fenian trials. There may be reasons for this appa rently less generous course ; and Mr. Hardy will douhtieu be prepared on the proper occasion to state them. The Standard sees no reply but one of assent to the demand for a charter for the Catholic University. By withholding it we shall in no way benefit the Queen's University, and by granting it we shall have put an end to the parade of a grievance which has some show of reason in it. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE ITALIAN CRISIS. (1 , 110/1 oen OUS COBRESPONDE-XT.I PARIS, 9csn tiv E%E.NIN The Privy Council, which only meets on very extraordinary occa.sions, az.,enibleil at Jr. to-day. The Empress was present. Of courite the fearful step to which the Emperor IS cox imitthe 6 France was the subject of discussion. The Margin. Pepoli, charged with a mission from the King of Italy, hail an audience with tl.e Emperor this moniing before the council. A paragraph ;riven u latest news in the Teni i pi rays that the French expedition has received " provisional orders " to remain on board the ships before Civita Vecchia, and not to land unless the Pontifical troopashould be vanrlu ished by Garibaldi. As to the Italian government, it is " for the present" disposed not to oppose a French intervention in case of need. This latter news favours the supposition hugged by the Bourse yesterday, that after all there is to be a " cross." The Pat rie has not the least confidence that General Hembree will be more successful than General Cialdini in the attempt to form a ministry. All sorts of rumours come from Florence ; some of them hint at Victor Emmanuel's abdication ; according to others, Prince Humbert is to take the command of the Italian army as " defender of the rights of the monarchy"—whatever that may mean. Various French papers say that Garibaldi at the head of a large force is before Rome ; that he is wounded ; and that he is killed. A more certain fact is that telegraphic oomniunica tion with Rome is again interrupted. That an attack on Rome by Victor Enunanuel's army is considered by the Pope's defenders as on the cards may be inferred from the assertion of the France that s telegram received this day from Colonel d'Argy, the commandant of the Antibes legion, states that the Pontifical troops could hold Rome 24 hours against the Italian army, and for an indefinite time against the Garibaldians. The following paragraph in the late speech of the King of Prussia relative to the treaty of naviga tion with Italy, the text of which appears in this day's Muniteer, is remarked upon, and justly re marked upon, as important : The navigation treaty with Italy, which has met with your approbation, will contribute to the consolidation of our relations with a country to which we are united by great common interests. _ _ . It is difficult to suppose that M. do Bismarck used the latter words without maturely weighing them. The fleet at Cherbourg has received orders to hold itself in readiness to sail. Whither ? DESTRUCTIVE STORM. LOSS OF LIVF.RPOOL SHIPS AND MANY LIVES. A very heavy storm prevailed at Liverpool on Saturday night and Sunday.

WRFA"K NEAR HOLYHEAD.—HOLYHEAD, SUNHAT N was received here early this morning that a fearful shipwreck had happened at Trevadoe. on the east side of Holyhead Bay, near the Clipera hock. which is loins distance from this place.
