Such regret as is felt at the departure of this nobleman is something rare in the case of a man who has not rendered himself ne cessary to his country by his statesmanship, nor commanded homage by his genius, nor established nor continued a great family. George William Frederick Howard who was born in 1802, the eldest of the twelve children of the sixth Earl of Carlisle, filled no higher political office than that of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, was never married, and left no great euduring work behind him to make Dim known to future generations, or to illustrate his own time ; yet the sorrow, the enthusiasm for the man, the recoil from the thought of his death which were manifested when he became virtually dead to society, were such as the greatest statesmen, and the heads of the noblest households of sons and daughters might covet. It was his exquisite moral nature, together with the charm of intercourse which grew out of it, which created this warm affec tion in all who approached hint, and through them the rest of the world received the impression of a man of rare virtue being among them —of singular nobleness of spirit, and gentleness of temper, and sympathy as modest as it was keen and constant. His function in the world of statesmauship seemed to be to represent and sus tain the highest inagiauimity, devotedness, and benevolence which should distinguish that which is called the governing class in this country. He could not overawe by coin wauding ability, or by power of will, but nothing migeterous or flippant could be said in his presence ; and be saw men and things in a brighter light than others do—leas through any optimism of his own than because his own presence raised and retiued everybody about him. It is an encouraging thing, we sometimes say, that all of us call tell of sowebssly that is not only the best person we have ever k nown, but the best that we can believe to be in the world. This is a pleasing evidence of the commonness of a high ordsr of goodness. Common as it is, we believe that, among those who were per sonal observers of Lord Carlisle, every one of them would probably say that Le was one of the best men they had ever known. In February, 1855, on the change of ministry at the end of the war, he went to Ireland as Lord Lieutenant. It was a time of severe trial togovern meut. During the Crimean war the gallantry of the Queen's Irish soldiers won honour for themselves and sweetened the temper of their friends ; and when they retuned home, and local festivals were instituted in their 'aions, it really seemed as if political and religious feuds were forgotten in the patriotic emotions of the hour. But the good under standing did not Isst long. In September, 1857, the Belfast riots took place, which never ceased to astonish its till those /.f 1864 eclipsed them. It is remarkable that in 1857 tie outbreak was preceded by the erection of a statue of O'Connell in Lime risk. As it was the first monumental honour paid to him during the ten years since his death, it excited a strong sensation. The quarrel someness of July had also been very lively that year, so that all was ready for an outbreak, even ill a prosperous and enlightened place like Belfast, when a few Protestant preachers obstinately refused to leave off preaching ill the streets, in the face of the plainest and most fearful ri-ks. The government placed the town under the Crinie sad Outrage Act, and issued a THE groptalli, commission to inquire into the causes of the riot. It was of no great use, as the arms were put where they could be easily got at ; and the investigation of the nature of the mischief did nothing towards curing it. The executive gained no force ; and the amount of murder perpetrated in the latter months of that year tried the courage of every member of the government. To such cares Lord Eglinton succeeded in 1858, when the Derby ministry came in. There was some idea that the office of lord lieutenant would be abolished at that time ; and the iiroposal to that effect discussed in parliament was negatived amidst expressions of belief on all hands, that Ireland must ere long be governed by a secretary of state. Lord Carlisle was, however, to be Viceroy again. He used the interval of his being out of office to travel in the East, and on his return be published his " Diary in Greek and Turkish Waters." In the summer of 1859 he resumed the Vice royalty, with Mr. Cardwell as Chief Secretary, on Lord Palmerston's return to power. Ireland bad been prosperous under a series of fine seasons, and there was hope of a diminution of crime—of the crime which recedes or gains ground according to the welfare or suffering of the agricultural population. But there wax now a succession of bad agricultural years to be gone through, and the condition of the people was more obviously declining from 1860 to 1863 than at any time since the famine and fever. Lord Carlisle devoted his efforts to improve the agriculture of the country. By exhibitions, by central and local meetings, by every aid that his presence, his eloquence, and his earnest support could give, he tried to give a wise direction to the spirit, and the capital, and industry of the country, during three years of dis heartening adversity and decline. When these were over, and fine weather brought good crops to light once more, the small farmers and the better order of labourers were leaving the coun try as fast as they could. Lord Carlisle stoutly and indefatigably maintained that the emigration, painful as it was to witness, was unavoidable under the relative conditions of the United States and Ireland ;and that it was, under these circumstances, a benefit to those who remained behind, as well as to those who went forth. lie had the most neces sary qualification for a ruler of Ireland in his indomitable hopefulness. All other Irish interests had his goodwill and best assistance, as well as agriculture. lie watched over the Queen's colleges, and the course of the national schools, and the increase of manufactures, and their introduction into all the provinces. His hospitality, and the genial cheerfulness of his court and society, were all that the discontented could lay hold of in the way of complaint or ridiculn ; but in Ireland popularity is a real governing power, and as long as nothing better is sacrificed to it, it is a power in the bands of an accomplished and cheerful-tempered man which he has no right to neglect or despise. Nothing that was done and enjoyed at the Castle impaired the spirit of the executive in deal ing with the rancour of bigots, or the insolence of factious magistrates, or the outrages of agrarian conspirators. Lord Carlisle's reign was not signalised —any more than former viceregal terms have been —by success in extirpating Ribbon societies, and in fortifying the loyalty of the rural population to the law ; but there were no special causes in the Viceroy or his course of policy or manners to blame for this, He was unable to do what nobody has been able to do yet, and what will probably be done at last by other agencies than that of any one man, or set of men iu office. The charge against him was that he governed Ireland by words—by speechification. The question is how far it is requisite for a good ruler of Ireland to be eloquent ; and it may be re marked that after 1829, O'Connell himself did nothing for Ireland but speak, though he bad the mind and heart of Ireland thus under his hand. When the hoped-for change in the fortunes of Ireland set in—when the crops improved, and the I farmers began to recover their means, and the emi gration showed signs of slackening, Lord Carlisle's connexion with Ireland was dissolving. During the early part of this year speech was becoming difficult to him,through &partial paralysis, which did not show I itself otherwise. He had engaged to preside at the Ter- ' centeuary Festival at Stratford-on-Avon ; but when ' April arrived his physicians remonstrated against his purpose of fulfilling his engagement. It did appear hazardous in the extreme to put to risk his scarcely recovered powers of speech ; but the festival seemed , to be in danger of failure, several pledged visitors had drawn back, and he was resolved not to faiL ' There are many who can testify what his address was, in matter and manner. The archbishop by his ' side—Archbishop Trench—an anxious listener, declared afterwards that Lord Carlisle's speech i was not only as good, but as finely de livered, as any be had ever beard from him. Others who_ were unaware how critical was the occasion, were of the same opinion. The effort seemed to have no bad effect. He returned to Dublin better rather than worse. After a time, however, the affection returned ; and the whole right side became paralysed. He was in this state when the O'Connell statue celebration took place in Dublin, and the consequent faction fight took place in the form of the Bellied riots. Severe reflections were uttered, in private and in print, about Lord Carlisle's absence at such a time. To be sure it was " for his health," as duly announced ; but a man's health should wait on such a crisis as that was. While such things were said Lord Carlisle was at Castle Howard, helpless and dumb ; not only speechless, but unable to bold the pen. His public life was closed. He would never speak again, and he would never again be seen, in Ireland, or anywhere out of his own home. His private life, however, had never been more beautiful and beloved than now. lustead of the I , irritability and depression which usually accompany the disease, even where the intellect remains un affected, there was in him a serenity and even cheer fulness as unmistakeable as the clearness of his mind. He was as willing as ever to receive what others said, without manifesting any harassing need . to reply. His drives, in the fine autumn days, • among the woods at Castle Howard, were a keen pleasure to him as he watched the changing beauty of their foliage. Sad as it was, his decline was so much less grievous and terrible than it must Lave been in a man of a lower mural nature that it was endurable even to those who loved him best. When it became known that his career was closed, the echoes of his old eloquence must Lave awakened in many minds ;—the West Riding electors who had beard his best-remembered speech ; the Leeds mechanics to whom he had spoken as a lecturer ou Pope ; and the Americtius and the Irish, to whom he had spoken frankly and affectionately on the interests of their country ; and finally, the lovers of Shakespeare, who heard his last public utterances, and could perceive through them how much poetry had contributed to the happi- I Less of a thoroughly cheerful life. Literature was indeed a solace and delight to him from the opening of his reason, through all the labours and trials of life, and at last in his decline, when all but mental pleasures Lad become extinct for him. • if. willegoi be remainbe l l as a great statesmen ; I kit the taiglition of him remain as of the best *M• most bibbed man hate company of gatemen • of his day and generation. is 44.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. TURIN, Dm 6. In yesterday's sitting of the Senate, the Minister of the Interior said, so long as the temporal power existed, the danger of foreign intervention was not removed. The temporal power (he continued) is not neces sary to the splendour and independence of the spiri tual power. But this is a moral question ;we have declared that it was necessary to leave it to the progress of civilisation, and to leave the Pope alone with his subjects, by which means the cessation of foreign intervention would be obtained. This question can only be solved in accord with France, the first of the catholic powers. In the principle of a free church in a free state the base of a solution exists ; under the convention foreign intervention is about to cease. Italy has an interest in repelling all foreign ag gression tending to support the temporal power. In the event of a movement breaking out in pon tifical territory, Italy does not engage herself to repress it. The only engagement undertaken by her is not to attack nor allow the pontifical territory to be attacked. The convention is, there fore, favourable to Italian policy. The transfer of the capital is not unattended with inconvenience, but it will consolidate the dynasty and the unity of Italy. The minister's speech was received with great applause. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Dcc. 6. An imperial ukase has been issued ordering the Senate to promulgate the law relative to the new organisation of the courts of justice, the new penal code, and the laws upon the proceed , ng,s in civil and criminal affairs, and the powers of justices of the peace, all these laws having received the Emperor's sanction.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25. • - - • Sherman'. orders to his army direct it to live on the county, but not to destroy private property, except in case of hostilities: then devastation should follow to the measure of such hostility. The destruction is to be confined principally to arsenals, powder factories, depots at supplies, and raP.waye. The ultimate object of the expedition is to sever the con nexion between the Confederate army in Virginia sad the army in the south west ; and fisally to effect a union with Grant's army, for the capture of Richmond and the destruction of Lee's army. With this object Sherman will peas by Savannah and proceed to Branchville, 60 miles from Charleston, which he will fortify, and also use Beaufort as • bees for assailing Richmond in rear. The siege of Charles ton can be proceeded with more vigorously at the same time. The Nero York Tinton thinks the Confederates may swum ble an army of forty thousand men in Georgia, South Cara lira, and from the garrisons on the coast to oppose Sher. man's grand design ; while it is partible Beauregard rosy have trandured his forces by Selina and Montgomery to harass his rear. Reports also prevail that Lee is sending troops from Petersburg, replacing them with portions of Early's forces. The Confederate Senate, in view of the emergency, has passed • bill allowing the militia niservu to act beyond the limits of their respective States, and this will bring into the field the ressrvee of Georgia, South Cata lina, Florida, and Alabama, to oppose Sherman. The Riot mood Whig believes Sherman's march ear be so obstructed as to render the destruction of hie slimy highly probable.

DEATH OP MR. ✓EREMIAH SMITH. Our obituary of this day announces the death of Mr. Jeremiah Smith, of Rye, in the 70th year of his age. The deceased gentleman had of late years fallen into ill health, and his demise can scarely be said to have been un expected, although the attack of illness in which his life terminated bad only confined hint to his bed for a fortnight. Mr. Jeremiah Smith had passed a life of great activity, and, in addition to being largely earned in commercial transaction, at Rye, was also an agriculturist on an exten sive scale. He was surest bop-planter, and is said to have grown as much as 2,40 pockets of hops in one year. Au a local politician, Mr. Smith took an exceedingly prominent part. He was a man of great and untiring energy and perseverance, and he threw himself into politics with immense zeal and earnestness. There was no more earnest advocate of liberal opinions than Mr. Smith, and few men in his sphere of life perhaps have devoted so much money, time, and energy in supporting their opinions and promoting the progress of political principle. His political activity— sod, we may add, his success—however, made for him numerous enemiee, and one false step in his career gave those enemas the full opportunity of gratifying their re venge and of compassing his downfall. "Misfortunes never come single"—and such was the case in the instance of Mr. Smith. Hop growing proved for some years a mast unfor tunate occupation ; Mr. Smith being a large planter, suf fered severely, and his affairs ultimately became greatly in volved. His health sank under these accumalated misfor. tones, and the later years of his life were passed in com parative retirement. Mr. Smith was a man of warm heart and generous nature, and he leaves behind him • vast number among his neighbours who have in day. gone by experienced at has bands kindness, encouragement, and sub stantial assistance in times of need. In social life be WY • faithful and earnest friend, and enjoyed the regard and esteem of a very large circle of friends and acquaintsoces.— Sussex Adrerlsecr.

The Patric has silvery hectoring article against England in general and Mr. Wood, the English consul at Tunis, in particular, apropos of the dis turbances in Tunis, which began a year ago, and which, curiously enough, it admits are now nearly over. Notwithstanding the friendly professions of the cabinet of St. James's, the Patrie assures us that it encourages its agents all over the world to annoy France as much as possible ; that all these agents do their work with a will, and that they are never disavowed. Mr. Wood, it says, was the promoter of the massacres of Damascus, and as he could not be decently kept at that station any longer, he was removed to Tunis where he has been at his old tricks again. It was Mr. Wood who got up the Tunisian insur rection ; it was Mr. Wood who, to harass the "enemy," i. e., France, brought Turkish ships into African waters, and cunningly revived the question of the suzerainty of the Porte. It is true that, owing to the acuteness and energy of the French Admiral Bonet Willaumez, who smelt a rat, the Turkish ships were forced to go back on the 23rd of September last ; and that, although the hand of Mr. Wood may yet be perceived doing what 1116' chief he can here and there, the insurrection has pretty well died out, and the Tunis question seems to be dead and buried. It will probably strike you, as it does me, as very odd that the P ,, tK , should choose such a moment for a furious attack upon England, which might have been wale with more reason when the evil complained of was at it. height, rather than now when, ex conceals, all is over. The Patrie, however, concludes that the snake is scotched—not killed, and that France, being justified in expecting every possible ann. Tance from the unscrupulous power (meaning England) which leaves no stone unturned to injure "French interests i.e., those of civilisation," in Africa, must take a bold resolution of prodaiai ing herself protector of the Regency of Tunis. I don't know what fire may lurk behind all this smoke ; but I suspect the Patric says a great deal more than the French Minister of Foreign Adair , is prepared to stand to. . 81. Mocquard is reported to be somewhat better, but he is in a most dangerous state, awl at all events will never be able to resume his duties as the Emperor's private secretary. Among the names of probable successors mentioned are those of M. Pelletier, formerly M. Fould's secretary ; M. Duruy, the Minister of Public Instruction ; awl M. Sainte-Beuve, the eminent critic. The dramatic censor at Marseilles has just dis tinguished himself. A play, called A Btra'l,3,; View of Marseilles, being submitted to his appro bation, Le objected to a " tag " at the end, in which the author appealed to the "suffrages of the public." The official smelt a political allusion in the word "suffrages," which he probably thought would be particularly disagreeable to authority iu a city which returned Berryer and Marie to the Corps Legialatif, and he accordingly reon'-ed that the word " favour" should be substituted for it. Nothing so scrupulous as this in the way of dramatic censor ehip was ever heard of since the time, about. 12 years ago, when the Paris reviser of plays, looking over a scene in which the bill of fare of a picnic contained a salad of the vegetable called barbs ie calmest' (Capuchin's beard), felt it necessary to protect the religious orders from derision, and wrote in the margin, " change the salad " ! The Tnbunal of the First Instance has given judgment against M. Leon Lacurdaire in the case of his brother's manuscripts, so that they remain for the present in the hands of the clerical literary executor, the Abb.; Perreyre. There will doubtless be as appeal.

An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys Middlesex Coroner, at the Doke of York Tavern, road, Hornerton, l ast night, respecting the death of Franda Johnston, aged 43 years. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased bad had a scuffle or fight with a brickla)er named Unborn, when at work on the 24th ult. Mr. F.

The next morning he became cooscioue, and he then said that a brick had fallen upon him. Witness did not believe the story at the time. Deceased thee became so delirious that it was up:rusty to tie him down in the bed. He died on Tuesday night. The post-mortem examination showed that not only the orbit of the eye but the base of the skull bad been fractured by a tremendous blow. A fall cou! , l not have inflicted such an injury, nor could a brick have Zone it. George Osborn was then cautiooed, and on being asked what be bad to say, burst into tears. Ile said—lt u hand for au Englishman to be hit twice and then not to stand on his defence. I hope you will take that into consideration. The Coroner, in summing up, said that Osborn's defence would of coarse avail him in mitigation of punishlenufs het when a man retaliates he must be held responsible for all the consequences resulting from his retaliation.
