LONDON, FRIDAY IMMO, JANUARY X 162. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. RECEPTION OP GENERAL OOYON BY THZ POPE. ROM JAIL 1, 111112. To-day being New Year's-day, General Goyon presented the French officers to the Pope, and in the name of the officers and soldiers whom he com manded offered the customary congratulations to his Holiness. General Goyon spoke of the devotion with which they were inspired towards the Pope, and asked his Helium to grant them the Apostolic benedic tion. The Pope thanked General Goyon for the senti ments he had expressed, and hoped that the pre sence of the French soldiers at Rome would not permit the fulfilment of any irreligious or impolitic act. The Pope concluded by bestowing the Apostolic benediction on the Emperor of the French, the Imperial family, and the whole Preach army. PRUSSIA. ombanuoy imams avow a Mir *Kash venom 5s ran ge', in the name of the Prussian army, presented the customary congratulations to the King. His Majesty, in reply, mid : "I am coovineed that the any Irmo ipliAame. Unmet§ I entertain towards it. Prussia can calmly behold whatever events may arise from the state of things in non-European countries, because her army stands ready, firm, and armed." In replying to the congratulations of the Minis ters, his Majesty mentioned the heavy losses which the royal house had to lament, and said : "The past year had been marked by many sad events. The year now commencing has likewise a serious aspect, because the state of things in Ger many, in Europe, and in fact in the whole world, presents eventualities the possible development of which renders it our duty to be prepared and to stand united together ; and this shall certainly be done." POLAND. BRESLAU, lAN. 2. The SclikaiseAe Zeitung of to-day says i " It has transpired at Warsaw that Prince Czar toriski has had a private audienci of the Pope, in which his Holiness expressed his decided disap proval of the proceeding of R. Bialobrzeski in dosing the churches of Warsaw." TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dsc. 2S. Rini Pacha has been recalled to the capital. It is rumoured that Mehemet Kiprisli Pacha will soon return to Constantinople, and will be appointed Minister without portfolio. Fixed Puha has proposed to raise a loan against monopolies of the tobacco and salt excise duties, and the income tax, and to convert the caimis into balilika. road Pasha and Mehemet Rnscbdi Pasha are , said to be intriguing against Aali Pacha. The fall of the latter is probable. ITALY. (nos nos owir counsrosinorr.) NAPLES, Dec. 24. Brigandage has become so oft a repeated subject that little attention seems to be given it ; and yet there are occurrences daily happeniug of such im portauoe that it is • matter of wonder it does not cause greater interest. For instance, on the 16th instant, Cipriano la Gala's band made • sortie during the night time on San Martino, but had to retreat to take refuge on the neighbouring bill, as soon as the detachment of hersaglieri, or rifle men, attacked them, leaving 43 dead and many prisoners, and 50 have surrendered. On the 17th another rencontre took place at Ascoli, when eleven of the brigands were killed. On the 18th they suffered • severe loss in the same neighbourhood. At Putenza bands infest the woods, keeping the inhabitants in a constant state of fear. On the 19th, from Benevento came the news o f a b au d 200 strong dispersed by an energetic attack made on them by a small company of riflemen, beaded by Lieutenant Negris ; and many prisoners were made besides the dead and wounded. Two hundred and eighty-one prisoners were sent to Salerno from Potenza last week, there to await their sentence, which it is thought will not be a very lenient one. At Nola, on the 20th, after the last rencoutre, where the baud of Graham suffered such severe losses, 18 of them, armed, voluntarily pre sented themselves to the authorities of the district, where they are to await the sentence of the judi ciary. From Spain constant assistance is afforded to the furtherance and maintenance of these rnatiranding l bands, and the noted Carlist general, Cabrera, and others, it is said, have been sent to form and command moat of these expeditious. The inhabitants of Torre del Greco are already bringiug back their bode and small household utensils to reoccupy their dwellings, such as they find them, and look without shuddering at the large fissures through which daylight pe netrates. They seem callous to the danger of the fabric falling, as some do daily, from their dilapidated state, and the incessant vibration of the mountain, caused by the eruption, which now issuea from the original cone, at the summit. One would think that the sight of the remains of buildings buried deep under the lava of 1794, and which the large chasm in the principal street has now exposed to view, might well deter them from again living on that dreaded spot. In the garden where the eruption first broke out a large opening has brought to sight a church and its steeple, an also the burial-ground, the open graves of which display skeletons. Seven churches have been so damaged that they are un serviceable.

Indoors they rack the mind, and out of doors they rack the body not unfrequently, and 56 victims are to be deplored, who were taken to hospitals dangerously wounded, and had in three or more eases to undergo amputation. In a church at Capo di Monte one of these missiles, flying against its windows, broke the panes of glass, and caused in its descent so tremendous a crash that the officiating priest rushed out in terror, screaming " Earthquake, earthquake ! " and in the crush of the people who followed him many were severely hurt and some died from the effects of their injuries. To-day the usual religious ceremony was per formed at the church of the Carmine, where the syndic and municipal authorities attended in state to do homage to the wooden crucifix.

By almounts received here overland, viL Siberia, it appears that Russia is at present attempting to /mild !mond Sebastopol in the BrArth Paskilio two litiMislands, called North and Southi ; sl.7 "r"7 geographically belonging to the Japanese Arabi- pelage, and subject from time immemorial to the lhapira et Jatiaa. Tllexare assingated tans oak eittior e firk ionna,Tneroinng a capaclinis - bay, with excellent anchorage, and snugly sheltered from every possible wind. Though small, these islands are densely populated, to the amount, it is said, of more than thirty thousand, and the inhabitants are a civilised, peaceable, and industrious race, pro ducing most beautiful manufactures, in which they carry on an extensive and lucrative traffic with Yeddo, where these articles are held in great esti mation. The soil is fruitful and well cultivated, the climate deliciously mild and remarkably healthy. This favoured spot is governed by a Japanese Daimio, who resides at the town and port of Fatcha ; and, though appointed by the go vernment, and paying allegiance to the Tykoon, he is placed in a very independent position from the gnat distance to the capital. Whilst Admiral Sir James Hope was lately taking &cruise in her Majesty's ship Ringdove, having heard favourable amounts of the natural advantages and capabilities of these islands, and their sheltered har bo ur, he determined to look in there, and he did so ; but it was with the greatest wonder and astonishment that, on doubling the cape that shuts out the use from view, be found there three Russian frigates at anchor, who seemed to have made themselves quite as much at home in the island as if they were at Cronstadt. Bustle and activity prevailed everywhere on shore, boats were drawn up on the beach sad undergoing repairs, stores ware being landed sod warehoused, sailors were exercising with small arms, and to crown all, the imperial flag of Russia was floating from the summit of the buildings, which were separated from the native town and surrounded by strong de fensive works. When Sir James inquired into the particulars of this new Russian establishment, he was informed that they had asked permission of the DiliUlla to repair their boats on shore and build a house for the better accommodation of their sick people, which had been readily granted ; but it appears LW the repairs of their boats were never finished and their invalids never got well, though looking remarkably healthy ; and the one building originally intended for the hospital bad Fr &dually ,to several, which were well fortified, and whose oemignatii—eiven when the frigates were out cruising—were strong and numerous enough to overawe the native inhabitanta and keep them in check. The Russians acknowledged all this, but added that they had orders from their admiral, who was gone to Japan, to remain in that harbour till his return, though they were unable to say wheu, or if ever, this would happen. The fact is that Russia views with anxiety and jealousy the daily increasing influence aud com merce of England in China and Japan, and as she cannot openly compete with British enterprise, she has recourse to this underhand way of pushing for ward her advanced posts. It may here bo stated that Tsu-sima is not one of the ports of Japan opened by treaty for foreign trade, and still loss for the admission of European ships of war ; and by thus occupying the island under such a specious pretext, Russia may not only provoke the animo sity of Japan, but exasperate the people of that country against all European nations generally, which in the present excited state of the popula tion and their decided wish to back out of their engagements, cud shut themselves up again from the rest of the world, as was the case previous to the conclusion of the treaties, is a thing to be avoided as much as possible, and especially by , using the utmost caution not to give that jealous nation of Japan any fresh cause of complaint. Were such an event to occur, Russia would have little or nothing to lose, her commercial relations ' with Japan being of a very trifling nature and in considerable value ; but in case of • war she would be in possession of a very important position, which might easily be rendered impregnable by a little engineering talent and Russian military skill. She would have in this advanced poet a formidable strategic advantage, within easy distance of her own ports on the Amour, from which she could receive her supplies of stores and ammunition, whilst the sheltered se curity of the b•yatfords the most desirable facilities for a coal depot, and • convenient point of ren dezvous for her ships of war, from which they might with great facility undertake offensive opera tious in Japan, and as easily retire, in case of need, to refit their vessels and take on board fresh stores of ammunition, coals, provisions, and water. It is impossible to ascertain whether Russia really entertains any such deep-laid plans of ambition and future aggrandisement ; but as such a course of proceeding would be quite in harmony widi the his tory of her traditional policy, it is not beyond the range of possibility or even probability. It ran, therefore, only be considered in the light of a public benefit to give open warning, and allow other na tions to place themselves un their guard, as fore warned is fore-armed.

A public meeting hes been held in the Town hall here to-night to confider the propriety of urging upon the government to have recourse to arbitration, instead of as immediate declaration of war, in the event of i serious diaagreement occurring with the United States. The meeting had been convened by the If Ivor npon a requisition signed chiefly by the friends of the panes party. At the time the mayor took the chair, at seven o'clock, three were about 2,000 penes. present, but the number gradually increased to nearly &WO. . . Kr. Alderman BA LDVIIIi moved a resolution to the effect—" That the meeting declared its opinion that the present occasion is a fitting one on which to carry out a declaration assented to by the Cengrees of Parte, in 1858, recommending that in any States between which • serious disagreement should thereafter arise, before appealing to force recourse should be bad to the good offices of some friendly power." Mr. Gious DIXON, vice-president of the Chamber of Commeire, seconded the resolution. his lam was the subject of natieetaliriet — ind famiraW.

He was a peat patron ot art. They had hod many royal and noble patrons of art, sad what they had done had been good in its way, but it was not the kind of way Prince Albert did. There was a distinction, and that distinction was this. They had seen other royal patrons spend more money in purchasing beautiful pictures and sculptures for their own gratification—to adorn public buildings and em bellish some seat of which they were proud ; they had seen them patronise learned men and men of akill in arts. But what Prime Albert did was not that. He gave not only his money, but his time and thoughts, not to the pur chase of • certain number of designs and works of art, but to the creation of a ,feeling for art, the establish , merit of education in art throughout the kingdom, and what he did was to work himself. It was a work for which the whole nation would be grateful to the latest age, for that work had really, as they believed, {skim root among them and was growing , and was work for which he would be remembered to the last generation in England, because he planted saseagst them a trve that was growing and bearing fruit. Mr. EVIIIAIU), a working may, moved a resolution to the effect that the meeting had confidence in her Majesty's government, and left the settlement of the American ques tion in their hands. Mr. TAYLOR, a factor, seconded the amendment. After several gentlemen had sd•lressed the meeting, Mr. Broog•INITH moved • verbal alteration in the original resolution, to the effect that the present occasion " may be •fitting one. Ilia having been seconded, and the promoters of the original resolution agreeing to sooept it, The MAYOR proceeded to put it as SO amended ; but the audieoce had become confueed, Lod when the show of hands was taken, it was evident the meeting were unaware for which resolution they were voting. The Mayor declared the original resolution as amended to be carried. Upon this an immense storm of disapprobation arose, and lasted a long time. Dr. Mrmoil, a borough magistrate. came to the front of the pilkay, and said that the meeting had been " been, poetised," though be did not intend to impute blame to the Mayor, and it wail quite certain that his worship did not intend to art unfairly. _ The meeting continued, howe►er, to vehementl► protest against the expreesion of its opinion as declared by the Mayor. Ultimately it was agreed that a sawed vote should be taken or, the roam question. Mr. EVERAIID came forward and moved the following : " That this meeting highly approves of the prompt sad manly conduct of Lord Palmerston, Earl Rome% sad tbe cabinet m this trying international emergeoey, sad at the lame time trusts that this quarrel may be Itasoarably terminated without war."

THE O'CONNOR DON N.P., AND RIB ROBERT DELL. The following reply has been returned by the O'Connor Don, M.P., to Sir Robert Peel's circular re aeitng a subscription in aid of the Queen's Colleges in _ _ " Clonalis, Clatabiret, Dec. 30, 1861. " Gentlemen,—l beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your circular, requesting that I would favourably consider your memorandum, relating to the education of all classes of the Irish people. Lest silence regardiuj this invitation might be interpreted by some as approv of the scheme which you advocate, I feel myself - called upon to reply to • communication which, at first, I had intended not to notice by letter, believing that the views of the catholic of Ireland on this subject were too well I known to require to be repeated. I should, indeed, most favourably regard any proposal which seemed to me of • nature likely to benefit true education in this country ; but I do not believe that on this account the Queen's Col leges*, University would be entitled to my support. Con demned as they have been repeatedly, by the hierarchy of our church, condemned by catholic laymen of every shade of political opinion, and ocadenined still more decidedly by the fact that, in spite of the great inducements they hold out, they have been but sparingly resorted to by the catholic youth of the country, I feel that a request such as that con tained in your letter is, to say the least of it, when made to • catholic, • very strange one. You ask me to support the colleges on the ground that they IWO successful, that they have won their way into popular esteem, and that their prestige is established, and you assume that their muc osa is proved by the statement that 600 students, through their instrumentality, are receiving the benefits of uni versity educatioo. I cannot, however, admit the Goa elusiveness of this proof, or that 600 students really receive university education ; for I believe the total number of persons who have taken out degrees sines the opening of the university, or during twelve veers, is under 400, the great majority of whom received not alone a gratuitous education and support, but carried away with them, in the end, a pecuniary conspessation. How the oollegss have won their way into popular esteem,' and how their prestige is established. I confess myself quite at a loss to dissever. For enlightenment on this subject I look is veils to the official statistics of the colleges. With an equal want of success I look to the =salready given to your appeal on their behalf h:e I molted the very initneethd position of a Chid for Ireland, I mime but wonder that if these colleges wea their way into popular esteem, when imp ly look a powerful srivricate, they should have lailodde o si g nall y la *hailing the sympathy of the cathodes of Inked.
