One of the first public duties the Princess Alex-1 andra will probably be called upon to perform in the early part of next year will be to open that new " palace of the people" in the north of London which bears her name, and which, without much noise or publicity, has silently advanced to completion. In 1863 the project of a new Crystal Palace on the summit of bluswell-hill was first started, the chief encouragement being the proposal to remove and utilise the exhibition building of 1862, which parliament had refused to purchase. What the late Captain Fowke had built at South Kensington—that forcing ground for exhibitions— was to be transported to the north of Ramsey, much in the same way as the late Sir Joseph Paxton's glass palace was transported from Hyde park to bydenhani, and, planted in the centre of a large estate belonging to Mr. Rhodes, was to take root and flourish as another home for the fine arts. A company was formed to carry this design into execution, but it fell into financial difficulties, and its task in due time was handed over to another company. The second company has quietly done its work, and in three or four months' time the Alexandra Park and Palace will take its place amongst our London and suburban exhibitions. The Alexandra Park is an estate of about two hundred acres of undulating land—about the same quantity as the Crystal Palace possesses—with an extensive and beautiful prospect lying to the north, east, and south. It isaboutsevenmiles from London by road, measured either from Charing-cross or Smithfield, and five miles from King's-cross by the Great Northern Railway—the only railway, at present, that touches the outskirts of the property. Trains reach it in twenty minutes from King's cross—the fare being about sixpence second class— and passengers by the same line can go to Earring don-street, Moorgato-street, or on to the southern lines, by the way of the " underground railroad." Thu Great Eastern line is about two miles distant, at Tottenham, and the Midland Railway is about the same distance off, at Highgate, while the North London Railway crosses the Great Northern at the Caledonian-road, and could, therefore, easily open communication with the Park and Palace. _ THS NSW MAYORALTY. The route which the civic authorities will take to-morrow (Lord Mayor's Day), on the occasion of the new Lord Mayor going from Guildhall to Westminster to be presented to the barons of the Exchequer, has now been settled by the entertainment committee, as has also the manner in which the psi eant is to be composed. The procession will leave Guildhall at 2 o'clock, and go by way of King-street, Cheapside, St. Paul's-church yard, Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, the Strand, and Charing-cross, to IVestrainater, and will be arranged in something like the following order:—Mounted pollee to clear the way; the band of the Royal Horse Guards. mounted ' • the Under-Sheriffs in their carriages, and the officers of the corporation, according to seniority ; each of the two Sheriffs in his state chariot drawn by four horses, and attended by his chaplain ; then the aldermen below the chair, followed by the Recorder, and next the aldermen who have passed the chair; the retiring Lord Mayor, in his private state carriage and four ; the Pity Marahal,mounted; the new Lord Mayor in hie private state carriage, drawn by four horses, and attended by his chaplain and the Sword and Mace Bearers. The military escort will be composed of two troops of the 3rd (King's Own) Hussars. The mounted band from the Horse Guards will play in Guildhall while it. cavalcade is being mar shalled, and again in ralace-yard, Westminster, during the ceremony of presentation, but not at all on the route. As • whole, therefore, the cortege will be unusually simple, and there being no pedestrians in it, will proceed at a brisk pace. The ordinary street traffic will nut even he diverted in any way along the prescribed route, though possibly it may be slightly retarded here and there. THE CONTEMPLATED PROSECUTION OF GARIISALDI. FLORENCE, Nov. 7, EVENING. PARIS, TIII7ItBDAY EVINING.

According to my information France will hold Rome until either Italy pub licly rviiounces all hope of obtaining that city for I its capital, or until a congress (which never will meet) settles the Roman question.

Public prosecu tors have arrived at Florence from Ancona and Perugia to hold a conference on the subject. Signor Rattazzi has arrived at Florence. On the evening of the tali the Garibaldian de monstration was renewed by the populace of Milan. The National Guard was compelled to charge with the bayonet. No persons were wounded.

A short letter from Garibaldi, dated the evening of his defeat, received by a friend of his in Paris, states that two companies of French sharpshooters deployed in skirmishing order on either side of the Pontifical troops tired upon him, and that their balls " fell like rain." This sets at rest the question which the French papers have contrived to keep in suspense for three days, whether the French assisted the Pontificals in doing execution upon the Garibaldians. That the French govern ment is ashamed of its work, or at least knowsthat it will excite disgust in France, is shown by the 8,, ppersetio re ei and suggestio falai, persisted in by the Menitene and by the reiterated assertions of the Cuwt itutiontiel and Patrie that " alone " the Pontificals did it. The truth, however, can no longer be concealed. PARIS. Nov. S. We:XING. The Et. "tlard of this evening confirms the intel ligence of a demonstration yesterday at Milan, which it describes as a serious insurrection. It also announces that a similar demonstration has taken place at Pavia, but of a less serious character. The same journal denies the statement that the two sons of Garibaldi have been arrested, and states that they are lying in concealment near Florence. The Eblidaol also asserts that when Garibaldi himself was arrested, the general offered resistance, and protested against his arrest.

Steinthal in the chair. Two topics were brought before the meeting. The first was contained in the following re solution, moved by the secretary, Miss Becker: " That the executive committee shall have power to appoint a general committee, to consist of those ladies and gentlemen whose assistance and influence appe a r t o th em likely to do good to the cause." In favour of this course it was argued that it would be better to have distinguished persons on the general committee than merely to publish thi ir names as favourable to the objects of the society. The reso lution was agreed to. The second proposal was ex pressed in the following terms: "That this society agrees that its members shall unite with the members of other societies having the same object, to form one national society for woman suffrage, with independent centres of action ; the constitution, executive, and funds of each senile to remain irresponsible and uncontrolled by the others ; the bond of union to consist solely in the assumption of the name National Society for Woman Suf frage, and the amalgamation of the members enrolled by each centre into one national list of the supporters of the political enfranchisement of women." This resolution provoked some dinette/don. Doubts were expressed as to the utility of the proposed change, and there yea a unani mity of feeling that the independent action of each branch should be left absolutely free. The scheme of amalgama tion would affect the societies in London, Edinburgh, And Manchester ; and one lady expressed her strong disinclina tion to have the Manchester society regarded as a branch tithe one in London • if there could be three heeds she would have no objection. Eventually the resolution was adopted unanimously. A conversation ensued on the future policy of the society. A meeting was held yesterday evening at the Stockwell Educational Institute "to rotest against the unjust ratin g o f charities and schools . ' In the absence of Mr. Hughes, M.P., the Rev. Dr. THOMAS took the chair. The meeting was very thinly attended. The documents concerning the Cretan insurrec tion will contain a complete explanation of the re cent collective declaration of the four Powers, and will detail the preliminary incidents connected with that diplomatic act. The documents relative to the affairs of Spain will show that France endeavoured to prevent re cruiting amongst the refugees in the departments near the Spanish frontier. The documents relating to France and Prussia will be few in number, and will not mention any incident of a nature to modify the relations be tween the Powers having occurred since 186h6. FRANCE.

ANTI-FENIAN PRECAUTIONS IN LIVERPOOL.—III order to ensure still greater security, and the prompt sup pression of any " rising" which the members of the Fenian brotherhood may be foolish enough to attempt in Liver pool, the head constable of Liverpool has arranged that at each of the principal lock-ups there shall be stationed a number of policemen trained to military duty, and ready to turn out to co-operate with the soldiers quartered in the town or to act independently as occasion may require. Yesterday the keeper of Talbot-chambers (a group of offices close to the Bank of Liverpool) discovered, secreted in the lower part of that building, what appeared to be a large circular lance head, but which upon examination was found to be an iron tubular bomb of a dangerous character. The lower part of the tube was filled with detonating powder, which could be ignited by a slow match passing through a smaller tube, to which was affixed a " fly ' of inilia-rubber, for the purpose of securing accuracy of aim. A few days ago a similar projectile was found in a house in Lambert street, and the servant girl, ignorant of its nature, began to use it as a poker. It immediately exploded with • loud report, blowing to atoms a large iron pot, which was boil ing on the fire at the time. Fortunately the girl herself escaped injury. l'pon the main tube of the weapon found in Fenwiek-street is a printed label, containing the words " Improved bomb lance," It is understood to be an American invention. MEDICLL STUDENTS.—From the annual official returns prepared for the Government Inspectors of Ans tomicat Schools, and which have only just been completed and sent to these gentlemen, it appears that the number of students now pursuing their professional studies at the eleven recognised hospitals in this metropolis amounted to 1,125, against 1,043 of last year; the number of new entries or fresh men, this year amounted to 355, against 362 of the past year. In the nine recognised provincial hos pitals there are 257, being a decrease of only one from the return of last year. It thus appears that in England alone there are no leas than 1,352 gentlemen preparing to qualify for taking charge of the health of her Majesty's subjects. It seems more and more oertain that the French army may claim the honour of a large share of the success at Tivoli. General de Polhcs commanded the troops engaged. A strong body of the French division, commanded by Ge neral Dumont, did not come up until the fight was done. It is stated that two French companies which were not to hare gone into line were so excited when they beard the firing that they rushed forward in spite of the remon strances of their officers. While admiring their conduct, we give them up to the indignation of the Slick. The Opinwue of Turin confirms the news that the French took part in the battle. According to this authority the Ist, 59th, and 80th regiments of the line, a battalion of Chasseurs, and a battery of artillery, were on the ground. Garibaldi's letter says that he was retreating when he was attacked at Tivoli, so that the trial of the Chassepot rifles and the slaughter which so delights the clerical and government papers was after all unnecessary. The Rente fell sc. for cash and 20c. for account, leaving off at 68fr. 45c., and 68fr. 32ic. Italian fell 25c., and Credit Fonder 15fr. There was a heavy fall of 17fr. 50c. in Mobilier, which closed at the unprecedentedly low figure of 150fv. It was said that tho city of Paris had refusal to the Soci4t6 Immobiliere the guarantee for 130 millions asked for by M. Rouher. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY UNION SOCIETY. —The elect'on of officers of this society for the October term took place on Tuesday last, and resulted as follows : President, Mr. George Crispe Whiteley,fit.

Agains t the proposition—Messrs. N. Moore, of St. Catherine's ; F. Watson, St. John's ; W. A. Lindsay, Trinity ; and H. Seeley, Sidney.

The subject for debate on the 11th is :—" That in the opinion of this house, the Bntiali Museum and other similar institutions should be open on Sunday, in order the better to bring the peo ple of this country in contact with national works of art . " This will he proposed by Mr. W. A. Lindsay, of Trinity College. The leader of the opposition will be Mr. A. Foster, of St. John's College. Wi1.1.8 AND BaQurars.

THE ROYAL BANK OP LIVERPOOL—A special meeting of tho shareholders was held yesterday at the Law Association-rooms, Liverpool; Mr. J. B. Brancken in the chair; at which the following resolution was pro posed by the chairman, seconded by Mr. Harold Little dale, and carried unanimous! :—" That the Royal Bank of Liverpool be registered under the Companies Act, 1862, as an unlimited company,andthat the solicitors of the bank be directed forthwith to take all necessary steps for pro curing the immediate registration thereof.' Mr. Lovrndes, one of the solicitors to the bank, explained that the object of this resolution was to ° protect the individual share holders from molestation, in order to obtain a voluntary winding up under the Companies Act, 1862. Another meeting is to be held on the 11th, when • resolution to wind up the bank will be proposed. The banquet to Mr. E. Miall, at Bradford, is fixed for Friday, the 15th inst. , Our Southampton correspondent, writing last night, thus refers to this terrible catastrophe : " The inhabitants here were terror-stricken this afternoon by the disastrous news from the West Indies. About 130 persons belonging to the town and neighbourhood have perished. People have been flocking in from the suburbs to learn particu lars. The Rhone was one of the most magnificent I ships ever built ; she was launched about two years since,and cost one hundred and tif ty thousand pounds. She was commanded by Captain Woolley, one of the most experienced captains in the Royal Mail Company's service. The Rhone was to leave St. Thomas on the 31st ultimo, and was due at Ply mouth next Tuesday. The Wyo, Conway, Der went, Tyne, and Solent, which have been lost, driven ashore, or damaged, were smaller steamer, belonging to the Royal Mail Company. The mails from the Pacific, the Spanish Main, and the various West India islands were brought to St. Thomas by these smaller intercolonial steamers, to be shipped on board the Rhone. These steamers also brought I nearry all the that would have come to England by the Rhone, as the mails are said to be saved. It is probable that the bulk. of the passengers were not on board i the Rhone when she went down. if they were, the probability is that two hundred and fifty persons perished in that ship alone. The Douro left 'Southampton on the 17th ult., and could not have remittal St. Thomas's before the 30th. She must have had a narrow escape. She cannot reach Ply moiah before the 16th or 17th inst. with the next ' homeward mail. We can only hear at present Ifrees the Virgin Islands. It is therefore possible that the hurricane has done damage in other parts of the West Indies. It is a five days' voyage from St. Thomas to Havana, where news can be telegraphed to Europe, and a seven days' , voyage from St. Thomas to New York, from which latter place also news can be telegraphed. As the hurricane must have happened about the 28th or 29th ult. we may ,soon learn the extent of the damage throughout the West Indies, as the vessel that conveyed the disastrous news from St. Thomas to Havana would have passed by Jamaica, which is only a two days' voyage from Havana. Most probably Jamaica has escaped, and the hurricane did not originate due west front St. Thomas. It is scarcely possible for full details of this most terrible calamity to reach us until the return of the Douro, in about ten days' time. The Royal Mail Company have never before lost a ship in a hurricane. Twenty year ago, when one of great violence visited Havana, and Spanish men-of-war were wrecked, ' the company's packet rode out the storm in safety. It was fully expected that the Rhone would have arrived home free from yellow fever. It requires sometimes a hurricane in the West Indies to drive away the malignant diseases that are generated there. " The Mayor of Southampton is giving a grand ball to-night, to which a thousand persona have been invited, but the terrible news which has reached the town, and the sympathy felt for all persons who may be sufferers by it, greatly limit the enjoy ment that was anticipated." Our Liverpool correspondent, writing last night, says: " The Liverpool underwriters to day received information of the fearful series of disastprs at St. Thomas, well known as a depot of the West India Royal Mail steamers, which will, it is feared, prove a greater calamity than the de structive cyclone at Calcutta. The news comes by telegraph cable from llavannah, and the despatch, which is dated Nov. 5, states that on the 29th October a fearful and disastrous hurricane broke over the island of St. Thomas, laying the town in ruins, and causing immense loss of life. Upwards of fifty ships and steamers were driven on shore ; but the following vessels belonging to the Royal Mail Steampacket Company are the only ones specially mentioned: — The Rhone lost on Peter Island ; the Wye lost on Buck Island ; the Conway on shore at Tortola ; the Derwent on shore at St. Thomas ; the Tyne and the Solent dismasted. A second telegram states that five steamers had been driven on shore at St. Thomas, but that the mail service would be maintained. The steamer Douro would leave for England on the 4th, and wouldbe followed by the Danube. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company were their own insurers, and at their last meeting their insurance fund in hand amounted to upwards of 240,0001., which will, it is expected, fully cover their losses by the present disaster. The majo rity of their steamers affected by the hurricane were old, and chiefly engaged in the intercolonial service, so that the loss of the company will pro bably be under 200,0001. Up to this evening the West India and Pacific Company had received no I telegrams, and only one of their vessels was likely to be near St. Thomas at the date of the hurri cane."

We understand that a fund, to be called the M'Gauley Memorial Relief Fund, is being raised for the assistance of the widow and family of the late Professor M'O.uley, whose death was recently announced. A com mittee, of which Sir David Brewster is chairman, is associated for this purpose. The building moved from South Kensington has been erected on Muswell-hill, with its whole length --about three humired yards—facing the south, and looking over old Hornsey town towards London. The back of the building faces the north, and looks towards Colney Hatch. One of the great domes, which were such striking features at South Kensington in 1862, is now the central dome of the building, its surface of glass being partly cased in with masonry, and its summit ornamented with a circular balustrade of the Blenheim type. Its height is about equal to that of the monument, but its breadth makes it look much shorter. The ground plan of the building is like two letter H's joined, the long connecting line being the nave, about 900 feet long, and the three cross lines representing the central and two end transepts. The end transepts are surmounted by two minor domes, not so high as the centre dome, and the centre transept is longer by about fifty feet than the end transepts, which are each about three hundred feet long, and high and wide in proportion. At each end of the nave and transepts is one large circular floriatod window, and the window at the east end of the nave is already glazed with stained glass, which gives the place the appearance of a huge cathedral. The style of decoration selected will be rich fresco 9rnaiventallasinting for the walls, cornices, and intent* of fhe'dobi ll; the long taper iron columns of the building having large Corinthian capitals, which aro richly gilded and coloured blue and red, like a royal crown. The railing of the single gallery which runs all round the building about half way between floor and roof without any break, is a pretty pattern painted a light blue, with the large centre ornament gilded. The general decora tion will give a richness to the interior which promises to be in strong contrast to the Owen Jones' style of colouring. The ground floor of the south front near the windows is laid out for refresh ment and private dining-rooms, the kitchens being in the basement. These dining-rooms run round the two bays formed by the projection of the transepts, and look out on a raised walk or terrace, and beyond that on the open country. The gallery on the north side of the building has four long rooms lighted from the top and communicating with each other, which are to bedevoted to pictures. Their hanging surface will be very great, and their joint length will be about equal to half the length of the building. A station is in course of construction in the basement on the north side, into which the rail ways communicating with the building will run their trains. The north aide of the grounds is not laid out at present, but the south side is fast ap proaching completion. A gradual slope from the south front leads to a long flat bed of meadow that has already been prepared and partly railed in as a race-course. This course begins narrow and runs about half way up into a broad plot of land as level, to_... _ail appearance, as a billiard-table. The race-course will be carried round the sides of this broad piece of ground, and the centre is already appropriated fur a cricket and archery ground, with two Swiss refreshment and dressing cottages. At the narrow end of the race-course, near the starting post, a grand stand is being erected, large enough to seat about two thousand persons. This stand will be built according to the best de signs, and will have refreshment rooms, galleries, private entrances, and abetting-ring. A carriage road runs from the entrance to the park, near the Wood-green station, to this stand, but the races can be seen from the main building and terraces — the grandest stand of all. The highest sporting patronage is promised for this part of the under taking. The south front of the building is not " crystal " in character, being a combination of yellow and coloured brickwork, glass, and stucco. The bays, before alluded to, present the famliar lines of the old South Kensington windows—some what inethodistical or factory-like in style, but the fronts of the transepts are ornamented with Corin thian columns, and that beautiful brickwork which distinguishes nearly all buildings erected by Messrs. K elk and Lucas. The park is still well wooded, though clearances have, of course, been made to open up the prospects—the property being part of that old "Enfie'd Chase, " the hunting-ground of English kings, to which old records and histories I make such frequent allusions. As at Sydenham a few years ago, the woods and meadows are begin ning to acquire a new building value, and, we be lieve, about three hundred acres of this ground are now offered to the designers and occupants of semi-detached villas. If we are rightly informed, the present Alexandra Park Company in tend to furnish their new palace with all becoming splendour, and to make the entertainments given in it as attractive as possible. The palace is all fitted with gas pipes for evening entertainments, and the gas will either be got from a local establishment or will be made on the estate. What the building loses in lightness it gains in its air-tight and water proof qualities, and perhaps in its warmth of tone. The decorators are in, and forward with their work, the glazing is finished, the flooring of the galleries is nearly down, the gigantic scaffoldings within the domes are being removed, and the building will soon be transferred from the hands of the builder tai those of the showman. WHAT'S IN A NAME.—The Church NetCB of Tuesday night says that " the friend of the Bishop of Bodor and Man who remarked of Lord Derby that ' as he had translated Homer it was hoped he might proceed to translate Horace,' may he congratulated on the appoint ment of that prelate to the see of Lichfield." The Bishop of Sodor and Man is the Hon. and Right Rev. Horatio Powys, third son of the second Lord Litton,. CRYSTAL PALACR.

TM 78 SALT.—It is reported at Bradford that this well-known gentleman, the founder of Sa and whose life has been cbaructerised by abuost continuous deeds of beneficence, having given away in the promotion of benevolent and charitable public objects nearly three hundred thousand pounds, is to have the distinction of a baronetcy conferred upon him. _ _ THE PRINCE OF WALES AT ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S. —The presidents of our public institutions are, as • rule, rather ornamental than useful. Their names are • kind of best foot which secretaries delight to put forward at festivals, and on the title-page of Knout! reports. Like the capital of • pillar, they add much grace, but little strength. It is clear that the presi dent of St. Bartholomew's does not intend to ! hold office on such easy terms. On Saturday, his royal i highness went down to the hospital for the third time within the past four months. The visit, of which no notice bad been given, was of • purely bueineas kind. The Prince arrived just as the operations were 6nished, at about 3 p.m., and proceeded at once to the wards, where he spent more than an hour, along with Mr. Paget, and the treasurer, Mr. Foster White, in a close survey of all the arrangements, and of the state of the patienta. Before leaving, his royal highness expresed his intention of paying similar visits from time to time, so that be might become familiar with the ordinary working of the institution. The example thus set by his royal highness ie one of which all who have the honour of standing with him in any similar position would do well to follow. In an hospital, as in a court of justice, there ism safety unless there is publicity. And the ends of publicity are best secured when the work is overlooked by 0118 who, with sufficient authority and from pers , nal knowledge, is ready to give praise where it is earned, and to treat with a high hand any laxity or wrong-doing. It is well-known how admirably Mr. White has fur many years discharged the duties of treasurer. That gentleman cannot fail to derive great asaistanoe, as well as gratification, from associatiost with the royal president.— Lancet.

THE PRIeH or MRAT AT LEWZI4.—A second fall has taken place this week in the price of butcher's meat in Lewes. Last week we announced that a reduction of Id. per pound all round had been made. It appears that some of the leading inhabitants of the town were dissatisfied with this reduction, and held a consultation as to the best means to he adopted for effecting • still further saving in their purchases. The result was that the butchers were waited upon, slid they have decided to take off another penny per pound, waking • drop of 2d. in the course of a fortnight. The r resent mices of meat at Lowe* are now 9d. for sirloin sad the test cuts of beef, legs and loins of mutton, and Bd, per pound for inferior parts. Rump steaks range from 10d. to le. per pound. The butchers are naturally very much annoyed at the pressure thus put upon them, and openly assert that the system of co-operation among consumers which has brought it about is not only uncalled fur, hut unneighbourly and unbusineselike. They declare that considering the price they liars been paying in the local markets for cattle and sheep, their charge to the cuma.unier has tnly been • fair and remunerative one, and if this system of co-operation is to be continued. they must resort to other means than those they have hitherto adopted of obtaining their supplies.—East Selma Grartte. THE THEAT QiesTiolv.—GßEAT Pantie MEETING. —A monster meeting was held at the Town-ball, Worth ing, on Monday evening, the high constable in the chair. There were also present the rector and other clergymen. magistrates. members of the legal and medical pri.fes sions, principals of several large schools, and others. The object of the meeting was to consider the present high price of meat, and to take measures for obtaining west at lower rates. Several speeches were made, and remilu. tieing come to. A committee was forni•il to negotiate with the butchers, and in the event of their being unable to obtain the required reduction, they were requested to devise the best means for forming an association for the purpose of securing a permanent supply of meat at fair prices. THE HARVEST AND THE AUTUMNAL SOWING IN Seovutfcti.—We are enjoying a pleasant change front the frequent rains and boisterous winds of October. The weather is mild and dry, affording the upland fanner an opportunity for concluding his corn harvest. We do not suppose there has been as touch corn to gather in aft, r Hallowe'en since the diaastrons harvest of INK. The most of the outstanding corn has been rickled for some time, end in that state it is comperatively safe. In lower districts the land is in good condition this week for sowing with wheat, and • good deal of this work hes been done. Lothian or English seed is very dear, and a ems deal of it is not very good. We have seen Lothian wheat which was lately brought to Ayrshire at fe2s. per quarter, and • great part of it has • very shrivelled appearance. But it was very dry, wh;eli is a point of primary importance with seed wheat. The e: at country wheat is dear, but it sows farther than our own in • season like the present, and a difference of the crop—so slight as to be imperceptible—may give a profit upon the outlay. A considerable part of the turnip crop is insproving under the influence of the mild weather. At this advanced period of the season the lower districts of Ayrshire have au advantage over the east of Scotland, as growth is longer sustained. The turnip crop cannot be heavy, but it is regularly planted, and will give a fair ictuin on litany farms.—Ayr Adrerti. , 4r.
