WEDNESDAY, NOV. 9. Or R young Heir-apparent is in the thoughts of many to-day. Never had young Prince a more auspi cious birthday, if the festival is to be judged by the affection and happy anticipation it calls forth. Our PRINCE is not, by character and training, likely to mistake the manifestations of this great day of his life, nor to boast of the armour of national loyalty which is investing him as if he had already won Tic tortes by means of it, and made himself a noble fame by the use he had pat it to. He is modest and sen sible enough to know very well that it is in pure trust and lovingness that the people bring him the tribute of their loyalty and joy on his entering the region which, in hie case, lies between youth and manhood. It is a peculiarity in his case—let us hope it will prove a privilege-- that an interval of three years lies between the ordinary state of minority and that of manhood. Under certain circanutasess of calamity to the nation and its Royal Family, it would bare been expedient to avoid the evils of a Regency by devise log the heir to be of age at eighteen. As it is, he remains under guardianship till one-and-twenty. That is, he will not till then take his seat in the House of Petra, and his acts will be those of a minor. It is impossible, however, that, under his peculiar conditions, he can be regarded, or can regard him self, as the boy under governance that other youths of his age are. If be could, under other chews stancev, have been man enough to reign in his own name, he must now be mars enough to show his quality by his life, his habits, pursuits, and mannerly. The feeling of the nation is, in fact, that he Comes of age to-day, the dry facts of the tree notwithstanding; and the curiosity, interest, and enthusiasm throughout the country are vivid accorntogly. There is the strongest desire to know what be means to do; how he means to use his posi tion ; how he regards the life that lies before him. For the few who speculate from the evidences in existence, there are multitudes who frame their ex pectations on their own notions and prepossessions. It is pretty clear that the Prince of Wites is exempt from the cures of most princes—listlessness, from want of necessary occupation and natural in terests. Activity is the rule and habit of the Royal household, bsppily for the children, who are trained to work while they work, and play while they play. We see nothing of indolence and its caprices in any member of the family ; and thus the dangers of opening manhood are diminished to the lowest point to the young Princes. If former Princes of Wales had had such a training, and such a home as ours of the present day, their wont sins and most perplexing troubles might have been escaped. By being accustomed to be employed and interested, our Pettftt now his the power to choose among earione eccupations ; and to expand his life with a the three years next diversity of interests. fnn!nil, be will be indicating the direCtott. I G wmen u p, abilities and tastes chiefly tend, and will be talking 1 for himself a substantial existence under circum stances which debar him from the ordinary devotion I to a profession or career. He is to be in some sense a soldier; he is, in some sense, a student; he must be more or less devoted to the study of law and go vernment, and more or leas actively interested in politics—the large,deep politics of all human society. A long period of rigorous life, we trust, lies before him, which he must till up for himself with duties and interests. His own welfare and that of mul titudes depend on whether he can regard his occupations before coming to the throne se no leas imperative than those which • press on a ruling Sovereign. If he can see that the preparation for the highest order of duties is am obligatory as the duties themseLen, his life will be d, happen what may. Ile cannot pursue I the maittary profession Ike a young otfirer who has I actual urine in view; but he con study the profea. Mon as a man ought who is to be responsible for the State for which the army exists. He cannot pursue' the law like a man who may one day be Lord Chan-1 cdlor ; but he may bend his best faculties to appre hend its spirit and principles am one who is hereafter to rule by and under the law. He cannot go through a complete academical course at one University, and feel himself a corporate member of it, like the Oxford and Cambridge men who fill the learned pro fessions; but he is alretdy beginning to understand their mode of life, and their views and interests. \ lore than that, there is nothing to prevent hie' having the advantage over all the preceding Princes of his Virg' in a knowledge and love of literature, such as rotnes the mind, and enlarges the intellectual capacity and sympathy of educated men. The habit of feeling amongst the useducated children of rank and fortune is easily and widely understood; and eve. mally that of Sovereigns ignorant of literatare. As there is no royal road to knowledge, so them is DO royal entrance to the region of serenity, trust and enjoyment to which intellectual discipline and ac complishment are the kt c. Her.ce the avoidance of the society of scholars and authors by the vulgar rue of princes, who cannot bear the acme of inferiority, and feel, in the presence of accomplished intellects, that their guests are in possession of a wide world of great interests which they themselves know nothing about, and who avoid the uncomfortable sensation by keeping literature and its votaries at a distance. Widely different from this may and will be our young Pump's habit of mind. His father's comprehen sion of the nature of science and interest in literature must have influenced his ideas from infancy ; and he hes bees well introdosed into scholarship since he asesed to be a child. The way is open before him— the opportunity, the leisure, the freedom—to etresuthen, solace, and delight his mind with litera ture, if he ia so disposed. That he may be so is infi nitely to be desired, first for his own sake, that he may find the blessing of comradeship in the realm of mind, and next, for the sake of the nation, which has the closest interest in the expansion of mind of its rulers. For literature itself and its professors it is of lees consequence than for the other parties con cerned; for their own life is sufficient for them. Besides these objects, there must always be en grossing interests in regard to the passage of events, at home and abroad. The great political movements abroad, the vast social progress going on at home, which occupy us all, from year to year, must be of surpassing interest to one who will sooner or later bear his share in the one, and preside over the other, and will have meantime has duties as a peer of the realm. He may exercise a certain amount of admi nistrative power in his Duchy of Demirel, are long. There are still other objects with which he might fill up a busy, useful, improving, and diversified life, not devoid of good old English amusements, and full, we may hope, in due course, of domestic attachments. In the choice to which, from this day forward, he must be tending, we shall see how much we may hope and rejoice in for him and the great nation whose welfare is closely bound up in his. Thus far, all is bright and gladsome. It is a common delight to the whole people toss the period of their Sovereign's vigorous health and popular rule em ployed in the fit and careful training of her natural successor. The stronger the promise of a long present reign the finer is also the pro mise of a worthy future one. Oar Sore reign's throne is a great spectacle to all nations, from its being the safest in the world, fixed as it is on the firm basis of constitutional liberty. Various fates seem to be lying in wait for other thrones, within the present generation. Our hope and confident anticipation is that our foundation will hold good through all tempests abroad and transitions at home; and one ground of our security is that we have a Sovereign who understands at once the gravity and the cheerfulness of constitutional government, and who brings up her heir in a fall sense of the same truth. The popular emotion to day means, throughout the land, long life and a happy reign to mother and eon ! gt Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 8. There was no addition to the royal dinner party 7ftwAsy.

THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW. (TED DAY.) Whether the Corporation Reform Act, which bee been so long coming, will, when it deer come, deprive Mrs City of the glories of Its Lord Mayor's dhow, we are we able to tell; but taking the number of people w►o turned eat of doors to witness It this morning so a criterion of Its pope. laxity, he moat be a bold Home Secretary who would ven ters to propose a bill, any prevision of which may take from the incoming Lord Mayor the right of astonishing the natives an the 9th of Novembw, by parading in soignee state the principal streets of the City, and of afterwards entertaining at Oulidball as many guests as the great pares of Gug and Magog can by any human possibility be mode to accommodate, or the great purveyors of the London Tavern sad the Albion be made to feed. By 9 o'clock this morning the people had begun to collect is imp slaw the route which it was known the procession weld take, and every rite likely to afford • more than ustelly good view of the pageant was speedily filled with spectators. At 10 o'clock all the streets within the City along the line of roate were closed to corns(' traffic. The crowds assombloi along the lies were as duos so can well be conceived. Until last year the progress from London bridge or Blackfriars to Westminster was always effected by water; but since the ruthless act of parliament deprived the City corporation of the conservancy of the Thames, the route by the river has been abandoned by the indignant civics, end their progress from the Guildhall to the hall of Williams Rufus has been in the vulgar track of cabs sod omnibuses, One result of the change has been, however, to extend the line of procession, and exhibit the new Lord Meyer paring westward of Temple Bar, in such civic state se was mew before witnessed in thaw regions, where until now the parish beadle has been the most showily bedizened functionary ever seen abroad. Thus a greeter number of people than before have been able to witness the wonders of the show. Trafalgar square has so become a f ivoured site for viewing the proces sion, and was to-day crowdol with people, In some parte to an isoaavealest extent. While waiting for the arrival of the promotion the multi• Inds watt by no means idle or ill-tempered. Battles for good plans, the breaking down of standings, inch u chairs, tables, sad forms ricketty and rotten, hired at prices magi,* from a pigmy to a shilling, performing acrobats, German brans beads, and other monstrosities, Indian jaggier., " ge," and pocket•picking-offered an amount of amusement charming in its variety and affording extraor disary fadlitko for delightful vojniment; the police by no means exerting themselves to put a stop to any innooent recreation which did not materially interfere with their own comfort or impede the progress of the proosseion. Soon otter noon, the procesalon, which had for two bonrs been gathering in Guildhall•yard and its vicinity to the Mash of the joy belle of Bt.

The guard of honour to the Lord Mayor washout the 10th Homers, and occasional partias of troopers from the same regiment were thrown out on either flank along the prom sion. The morning was splendid. The rain kindly held itself in suspense, while October had so far forestalled the fogs of November .a to leave behind it for to-day the faintest sem blance of a mist, just sufficient to mellow and temper the splendour of the sue, which envious Frenchmen say hew stunts in London. Everything combined to put people In good humour, and tha proteetion, although far below the splendour of former days, was well received. The Leed Mayor was repeatedly cheered and bowed graciously in return; and although he perhaps felt a little elated under the pressure of his newly-fledged honour., he boys them altogether with stately meekness, as became • "citizen and clockesaker.” The band of the Leaden Rifle Brigade also received manifestations of City favour—s fact which is encouraging to the council, who are said to be ambitious of making it the finest military band In the kingdom. The proceed= moved from Goildhell and pared through Grisham-street, Princes-street, King William- GrahecLurvirrni:rnet, and Cernbill. The pro cession stopped at the entrance to St. Michael's Church, Conlin!, where the children of the Colrain and Lime-street ward =lmola presented an address to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the president, and thence through the Poultry, Cheapens, Queen-.tree[, Cannon-street, St. Paul's-church yard, Newgete-street, Skinner-street, Faningdon-strtet Fleet-onvet, Strand, to Westminster. Arrived at Wodminster Hall, the procession moved on to the Court of Exchequer and so arranged therneelvesae to allow the Lord Mayor, with the sword and max, to pees between them into the court, following after according to seniority. On entering the mud, after doe arrangement, the Lord Mayor made three obtioances to the Court, taking off his hat each time, and we. then Foment= by the Recorder in an ap propriate speech.

LIT SCIWAIINI rstsosiare.) MOII 0171 lITSCIAL 0011ISPOWDMITa MODENA, MONDAY EVENING. At a pinte sitting of the Modenese Assembly bald yesterday, a message was received from the Dictator, setting forth the dangers inseparable from a provisional organisation, and proposing Prince Carignan as regent in the interests of order and anion. To-day, at a public sitting of the Assembly, the proposal of Prince Carignan's regency was una nimously agreed to, and the dictatorship of Parini was confirmed, pending the Prince's acoeptanoe of the office. BOLOGNA, Nov. 7. The Minister, Marquis de l'epoli, read to-day be fore the Assembly a message announcing that the Government had always pursued a 'you= of modem tion, and further stated that the financial resources of the country had during the last quarter increased one million and a half, and concluded by saying that the establishment of a regency would plane the credit of the country on a firm footing, and that Central Italy would appear before the Congress with more authority. PRUSSIA. The Prussian Gazette publishes an article of which the following is a summary : " The Allgemente Zeitutuj insists on its statement that the interview between the Emperor of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia had a tendency hostile to England. The same paper pretends that Prussia had entered upon the policy of France and Rorie to isolate England, and had promised to maintain an unconditional neutrality in case war should be declared by France against England. In order to support these absurd insinuations, the Allge mente Zeitung refers to the imaginary statements of some Prussian newspapers, which are known to belong to the opposition press, and which have a self-understood interest to disfigure every step of the Government for the sake of obtaining a basis for attacks against it. The writers of the Allgemeine Zeitung place themselves, by their conduct, on the same footing with certain French journals, which in translating the malevolent conjectures of the Prus sian opposition press transformed them into positive facts. These tactics may be considered ingenious. but are hardly patriotic or useful to the interests of Germany." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 8. The Schiller festival has been celebrated here to day in a most brilliant manner, in presence of im mense crowds of people. The torch light processions were numerous and well attended ; the greatest order and enthusiasm prevailed throughout the town. The weather was exceedingly fine until towards the conclusion of the festival, when rain fell, but not, however, in any con siderable quantity. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. MADRID, Nov. 7.

General Devaux by skilful mancenvering obtained a victory over the tribes equally u brilliant as the victory of Malah.

CENTRAL ITALY. (FRAM OUR SPICIAL FLORENCE, Nov. 9. I was not mistaken when in my last letter I told you that the great crisis of Central Italy was near at hand, and that important events were likely to occur ere long in this country. Yesterday I had just posted my letter, when in passing through the narrow street in which are the offices of the Moni tore Toseano I saw a great gathering of anxious people, who were waiting for the distribution of the official paper. A rumour had been spread among the citizens of Florence that the Monitors was going to publish an important communication from the go vernment. Such was, indeed, the fact, for the decree by which the Ministers summon the deputies of the Duchy to meet on Monday next was to be read in the first column of the official organ of the Taman government. No reason is given to justify this important decision, which was much talked of and commented upon at Viesaeux's reading rooms and in the numerous cafés of the town during the coarse of the evening and to-day. Some idle talkers and café politicians try to explain the decision to which the government has come by saying that Baron Ricasoli and his colleagues are anxious to lay before the representatives of the country the budget of the approaching year. Others pretend to know that the deputies are going to be consulted upon the con tracting of a loan, which has become necessary for the required augmentation of the army. I have, however, made some inquiries in well-informed quarters, and in spite of the impenetrable reserve of those in authority I have now reason to believe that not financial affairs bat the last news received by the government from Turin is the cause of the publication of last night's decree. The rulers of Tuscany cannot help feeling the great responsibility which hangs over them at this solemn and decisive moment. Since the signature of the armistice at Villafranca the new governments of Italy have been unhappily too timid, too wavering, too desirous of showing patience and moderation. Instead of acting in the undoubting conscious. nese of a good cause they have been con tinually asking leave to do this and that, under the false impression that a bold and decisive step would injure the noble cause of their country. Now that Louis Napoleon's letter has dis sipated all their illusions—now that Modena and Tuscany, as well as Romagna, are threatened with the restoration of their petty tyrants, they begin to understand the false position which they have been led into. It is therefore not to be wondered at if they are anxious to regain the time last in vain ex pectations, and if they call upon the National Assem blies to explain to them the reasons of the timid policy of the past. Ins few days we shall see whether the deputies of Tuscany are willing to endorse the act of Ricesoli's administration, and to share the responsi bility of their acts. It may be that the new policy which, as is generally affirmed, the Sardinian government is going to adopt, would require the support of the deputies of Central Italy. Should the reports current here this morning prove to be correct, Victor Emmanuel and his minis ters have come to the conclusion of rejecting the plan laid down in the Emperor's letter, and, boldly facing the difficulties of the political situation, are preparing themselves for action. In one word, what Sardinia was advised to do by the liberal press of Europe three months ago she would do now, with the con currence of the local assemblies of the country. Victor Emmanuel would at last accept the allegiance of four millions of people, who only long for consolidation, protection, and military organisation. That there must be some truth in this report may be easily inferred from the fact, that since last Setae day the greatest activity prevails in the offices of this war ministry. General Cadorna is continually going to and fro from Florence to Modena, and I am told be has had already several interviews with Garibaldi, Fatal, and Farini. I also know that Captain Crespi, a Florentine by birth, and one of the most distinguished officers of the Sardinian army, has just arrived from Turin. A well-informed person told me last night that the captain was sent here on a special mission to Baron Ricesoli, a fact which, if true, acquires more importance when we consider that Signor Crespi is the aide-de-camp of General La Marmors, end one of his beat and most influential friends. By this time the report will have reached you that a second edition of Louis Napoleon's famous letter was addressed to his Holiness of Rome. It is how ever a more difficult task to deal with Popes and oardinale than the French Emperor thought at first. I am now in a position to state, on what I think good authority, that the Emperor's missive did not meet with a better reception at Rome than at Turin. Pius IX. has regarded the proposition of the Confederation as an absurdity, and has repliel accordingly. The anger of Louis Napoleon was roused by the refusal of the Pope, and Count Walewski was directed to inform Cardinal Antonelli that since the Imperial will was not properly attended to he must make up his mind to have his Holiness's troops in Rome, as the French would be recalled to France before the year was over. Thus matters stand now, and the state of sffsirs between France asd Rome on the question of Central Italy is less encouraging than it has been for some days past. Despatches have been received this morning by this government which give the most positive assurances that the Emperor at Russia teats a deep interest in the future welfare of the Duchy. Two months ago Count Morelli, a son of an English lady of high rank, was sent to St. Petersburg on a diplomatic mission to the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs. Of course Prince Gortchskoff could not officially re cognise the Florentine diplomatist, but he received him several times, and as turd him that it was his muter's desire to have the Tuscan question settled in a way which would satisfy the wishes of these populations. This fact suffic:ently shows how un friendly are the relations between the cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg. You will not have forgotten the polemic which tliree years ago took place between the Austrian and the Piedmonteee newspapers about Ciceruecchio, the famous tribune of Rome, during the liberal movement of 1848 and 1849. Atter the fall of Rome, that honest citizen, who was once honoured by the friendship of his Rohn. as, fol lowed Garibaldi in hie. retreat towards Venice. Pursued by Austrian men-of-war, the party was obliged to land near Cesenatico, where the gallant general lost his unfortunate wife. Since that day Ciceruscchio and his son, a boy of 15, have disap peared. It was generally supposed that they had been shot without trial by the Austrians, but Baron de Bach's newspaper indignantly repelled the accusation, and went so far as to assert that both father and son had settled in some foreign city. Now the murder of those unfortunate vic tims of Austrian barbarity can no longer be doubted. Luigi Rivalta, formerly • rector of the priory of San Martino, near Rovigo, bay just addressed a let t. r to General Garibaldi, in which he states that the tribune of modem Rome and his child were both shot 11 the Austrians within an hour of the time of their capture, together with five of their friends, on the seashore of the Adriatic, clam) to the village of Mex.'s. During the short campaign of Treviso and Vicenza, in 1848, poor Cicernacchio had saved from certain death two Austrian officers who had been made prisoners of war at Cornuds. Unfortu nately for him he had to deal with barbarians, and the bloody retribution of Mewl& awaited him. THE PAPAL STATES. A letter from Rimini, in the Corriero dell' Emilia, says that the Bishop of Rimini paid a visit to General Rowlli, to thank him for the respect and reverence manifested by the soldiers, not only towards him but also towards all the priests, and for the good conduct of the troops in the town. FRANCE. Our usual Paris letter had not arrived when we went to press. HUNGARY. (THOM Otill COPAIISPONDENT.) PEST, Nov. 4. Every attentive observer of the state of Hungary must avow that a new spirit has come upon the country, especially since the outbreak of the Italian war. The sullen countenances have been succeeded by more hopeful looks, and though the population is ground down by the heaviest taxation and a com plete stagnation of trade, by the financial difficulties of the Austrian government and by the awkward and irritating machinery of the system of raising the taxes and excise dues, we cannot fail to see that everybody trusts in a s peedy and complete change of affairs. At Vienna, on the other aide, people look hopeless and dejected, despairing even of the pos sibility of a change for the better. The reason of this difference is obvious: both the Hungarians and the Viennese see clearly that Austria is falling to pieces ' • the former rejoice over this great event, even be fore it happens; the latter bewail the inevit able downfall of the Empire which threatens likewise the capital. Since 1849 the Hungarians have never been treated like subjects, but like enemies; government never relied upon their good feelings, never attempted to conciliate their good will, but ruled exclusively by the sword. Accordingly the Hungarians, who do not feel them selves defeated by the Austrians, but only by Rus sian intervention in the apathy of Europe, have never regarded the present government as a legitimate one, or as a government at all. They felt no regard for the bands of foreign hungry officials let loose upon them, nor any respect for the new.fangled institutions and clumsy administration introduced by Baron Bach. Now when the prestige of the army has been broken by the battles of Magenta and Solferino, when even Austrian officers begin to be civil, when Baron Bruck's gigantic swindle through the frau dulent and secret emission of loan certificates to the amount of twelve millions sterling cannot relieve the financial embarrassment, whilst Napoleon insists upon the national administration and repre sentation of Venetia, the Hungarians fully believe that the time of their bondage is drawing to a close. Several incidents of the list week show the spirit of the nation. Count Thun, the Minister of Publics Worship and Instruction, published lately a decree for the organisation of the protestant churches in Hungary, destroying the old territorial divisions according to his own pleasure, excluding the pub• licity of the discussions in the meetings of the con gregations and districts, and nullifying the elections by insisting upon a ratification of every election by the government. Two Lutheran and one Calvinist district held their meetings during September and the first weeks of October, and sines they unanimously rejected the legislation of Count Than, the enraged minister forbade the other five districts to meet, unless they submitted to his decree and accepted the new territorial divisions. He wished to impress Germany with the belief that only a portion of the protestant church was direatis fie& However, a few days after the ministerial order, the Hungarian Stadtholder, by some excel lent red tape arrangements, gave the Calvinist trans- Danubian district the permission to meet, ignoring altogether the new order. Of course, as soon as he perceived the mistake, he cancelled his permission in a letter to the district, which in the meantime had assembled, and, according to the standing order., gave precedence to the Imperial decree about the organisation of the church. After a short die. cnsaion it was unanimously rejected , the protest and petition against it duly signed, and forwarded to Vienna; then only the letter of the Stadtholder was read, and the meeting dissolved. All Hungary, in cluding the Roman catholic priesthood, supports the protesting protestants, since it is a good fight against Austrian centralisation. The centenary anniversary of the birth of Francis Kszinczy afforded an excellent opportunity for a grand demonstration against all the Germanising tendencies of the government aid thelmperial house. Rszinczy was in the last century the great pathfinder of Hungarian literature. He purified the language, and taught his countrymen to write with ease and taste, discarding the foreign elements introduced in the beginning of the eighteenth century, and returning to the undefiled well of pure Hungarian in the earlier authors. It is with him that the new era of Hungarian literature and philosophy begins; and he certainly, above all other authors, deserved a commemoration for his literary labours. But he was likewise a political character, and accordingly a prisoner in the Austrian dungeons from 1794 to 1801. Though the festival in his honour on the 27th of October ignored Ksziuczy's politics—his son,Colonel Kezinczy, was too a martyr; of liberty, having been shot, by order of Haynau, in 1849—and made scarcely any allusion to those facts which lived in the mind of the meeting, the speeches were all as pointed as those of the French Academy, the sword hidden under the wreath of myrtles could not escape the attention of the authorities at Vienna.
