There are two questioas to be solved :—How came the Royal Charter toper Holy liescP How did she get into Red Wharf Hay? Bat there is also another question to be leaked: How wu the Royal Charter constructed? M►terials are not wanting for • reply to these questions. The Royal CAorter pared by a harbour of refuge on • dark and foggy autumn evening, in the teeth of a rising gale. She kept hugging a notoriously dangerous coast, • whirlwind on her weather bow, and the indraught of the tide jamming her closer and closer on • dead lee shore. This ship, of nearly three thousand tons, was trust ing to her auxiliary ecrew engines of two hundred horse-power. When she struck she crumpled up amidships like cardboard, and parted in two places. Adulteration is almost as much the law of commerce now-a-days as competition; everything must be sacrificed to speed and cheapness. The prises are many, and the risks occasional only. The Royal Charter was built for speed, and she made brilliant runs and quick returns, bat she was not built for strength, which is more expenai ve and less profitable. '' Carrying on" strains a ship all to pieces in a very taw years, but a very few years are enough to pay for the cost of thin plates of cheap iron, and Gf rivets which were never meant to stand the wear and tear of thumping on jagged rocks. One of the old-fashioned teak-built Indiums of fifty years ago would have never dared to coast along • lee shore in s hurricane ea a foggy night; she could have had no auxiliary screw to trust to, and would have given the Island of Anglesito as wide a berth as possible; if, however, by any mischance she bad got embayed and driven on the rocks, she would have taken at least six hours to break up, and even then the would have split into rafts. The wreck of the Royal Charter is calculated to put passengers (we dee% say owners) oat of conceit with iron clippers, in /pito of their cheapness and fast sailing, and it will probably mitigate their con fidence in an auxiliary screw. Whether in a hurri cane, which was in fact • cyclone, electrical dis turbance may have affected the compares of the Royal Charter is another subject of inquiry ; though the fact could not be sufficient to justify the coarse the ship was steered, or her keeping to sea at all in such weather. No apology is due from landsmen for discuss. sag a cetsatrophe of this kind after the event. There are certain determining modifier's under which • shipwreck may have occurred, which it requires no special knowledge, and sertaialy no seqsaintaece with seamanship, to tadentastel, nor oast there be any undue affectation of omniscience in conjecturing that if • fillip of 2,00 tons, with auxiliary engrain of 200 bone power, had been kept well off a Inshore on a pitch dark sight in a hurricane, she might have come oat of it damaged, yet not destroyed. We ven tured the other day to express an opinion, based upon the known fact', that if the Royal Cheerier had bum without any auxiliary steam power aim would Sever have been permitted to hug a dangerous oast la foggy and fool weather, but would have pat bask to Quenstows, or kept well to sea; that relying ea steam-power lamentably insufficient for any impose but making away across "calm belts," she had deli berately got embayed, and let go her anchors where no anchors could possibly hold, and committed her precious human freight and costly cargo to the mercy of a couple of chains. It is impossible, we think, to resist the muclasion that auxiliary screw engines of, say, 200 hone power to • ship of the size of the Royal Charter are worse than useless in case of danger; they tempt the ship to shun the safety of sea-room, and then leave her helpless to be dashed to pines on a rocky coast. Besides, whatever may be the relative merits of screw and paddles in making a peerage, or in ships of war, it is tolerably ascertained that in a heavy sea there is mach less "slip .• in the wheels than op the screw; in other words, that at lent one wheel is doing its duty when the screw would be idly beating the air. When the mischief is dons and the spare are cut away, the screw gets foul and will not work ; but this is comparatively an insignificant consideration ; the misfortune is that the screw which tempted the ship into danger we powerless from the first to dreg her out 'gain. Had the Royal Charter been a sailing ship, would she have passed Holyhead? Would she not have put back to Queenstown ? At any rate would she not have given herself pienty of sea room rather than keep a lee shore close on board, in a furious gale, with • tidal current sucking her into a rocky bay' We have said that ships of the Royal Charter &am are built for speed rather than for strength. We find this opinion confirmed by the confessions of prectical men. There is, perhaps, too much of the reek lessons of the gold-searcher in the construction of these clipper', as there is in the eager haste to shorten the paseage by • few hours at any risk which seizes all on board, officerr, and crew, and pas sengers alike, as soon as the coast of England is is sight. To the captain and the owners indeed every hour I. precious when the freight is gold ; bat re. turning passengers are quits as recklessly, perhaps we might ssy more recklessly, impatient of every hour's delay when they have • fortune stowed away in a box, or sewn into a pocket, and awaiting some swam investment- THE ecclesiastical disputes in St. Georgt's-in-the- Eara lave broken out again upon the re-opening of the parish church, and with new elements of bitter ness. It is not very clear why the church wu re opened last Sunday. It is true that a large number of the parishioners wished that the ordinary public services should be resumed ; but circumstances do not permit tie to believe that their wishes had anything to do with the event. St. George's was closed because the strife between the Rector and the people was so hot that the services could not be conducted with a due regard to the sanctity of Divine worship. There was no reason whatever for supposing that the heat of the controversy had moderated. On the contrary, there were grounds for believing that the feud had been envenomed while the church remained closed. The Rector's resolution to submit only two of the questions in dispute to the arbitration of his diocesan deprived the Bishop's mediation of its efficacy beforehand. Imperfect as it wes, the Churchwardens no doubt did right to accept it. But what good could be ex pected from the opening of the church, when on the one hand the Rector's party was pursuing one of the parishioners in the Ecclesiutical Courts for matters arising out of this dispute; while on the other, the Churchwardens were contemplating the removal, against the will of their Rector, of the seat. newe -1 eery to the choral service, end th e d ra p er y w hi c h I belongs to the Rector's system of church ornamen tation ? These circumstances and dispositions promised little for the peace of the parish. Still a wise man would have made the beat of them. Mr. ICING's I use of them was the very worst. Anything more exasperating than his sermon on Sunday morning it would be hard to conceive. It would be a positive relief to be able to suppose that there was deliberate malice in it, because with repentance might come a beneficial change. It is too plain, however, that what to us appears so morally perverse in his sermon is too deeply-rooted in his priestly system to be abandoned out of regard for the mere ethical conai derations whioh to laymen seem so weighty. His text was in nowise appropriate, except as it was capable of a malicious application, and his sermon was an indictment of his flock. He might have come before his people with a message of peace, and thrown • veil over the unlovely put. But instead of that he goes back six weeks to find matter of reproach to the people. He does more, he intimates to them that so far he has had the advantage over them in this quarrel: that if they have treated him with disrespect, he on the other hand has deprived them of their church. For six weeks they have lain under a spiritual interdict. The voice of prayer and praise has been silent there. The word of OoD has not been preached, the sacra ments have not been administered, and no interees sions have been made for immortal souls. And all this he is careful to remind them is his week. Be wished them to undentend that it was at his special request the Bishop closed the church : as if the greatest misfortune that could happen to a minister were not that his people might come to acquiesce contentedly in the religious privation which he so heedlessly inflicts. hug to show the parishioners that the period of their penance is not overpast, he tells them that in future the sacrament of the LORD'S Supper will not be administered on Sundays._ _ It would be the merest affectation to pretend sue. prise at the outburst of popular feeling which fol lowed this provoking display of priestly pride and . . . . ' uncharitableness. It would have been better if the people, on finding that the Rector had learnt nothing by recent experience, had left him to contemplate his work in a half-emptied church. It was very foolish to leek him out in the afternoon after the experience of the morning, and very wrong to hiss at him while he will offering the beautiful prayers of the Litany. But what can be expected of the people, when bitterness and evil-speaking take the guise of piety in the pulpit? Men's minds are exuperated, their moral notions are shocked and confused, and, misled by evil ex ample, they think that the " wrath of man" may " work the righteousness of GOD." It is not easy to foresee bow this dispute is to end. The law of coarse will be appealed to, and we hope with sue cm, for no cause is served by outrage and decrees tioo. Bat clergymen who are wise will be careful how they invite the secular power to their aid against their parishioners. The administration and the amendment of the law are in our times very closely amareted, and a law which is applied reluctantly and with hesitation is soon altered. The Legislature may sons to think that whit* the law protects a elsegyusea in the exercise of his duty, it ought also to protect parishioners against a rector who makes the services of their ancient Church useless and in tolerable to them, and,. thus thinking, may find some means of checking the extravagance of an incumbent who cares more for ecclesiastical theories then for the peace and nourishment of the people. If, as Mr. KING appears to intimate by a marked allusion to the days of Cusu.es 1., he means to attempt a Landisn controversy in the nineteenth century, his Tractarian friends had better give him betimes that advice which their own prudence will suggest.

The National Assembly of the Remain°ls has unanimously voted the regency of Man Carignan, and has invested him with full powers. MODENA, MONDAY. The Assemblies of Parma and Modena, convoked yesterday, determined unanimously on electing Prince Carignan as R.gent. THE TREATY OF PEACE. the following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter'e office : ZURICH, Nov. 7. In consequence of a fresh incident occurring in the settlement of the financial question, the signing of the treaty of peace has been deferred for several days. BERLIN, Nov.B. It is stated, on reliable authority, that, at the in terview held at Breslau. the Emperor of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia have determined not to consent to a revision of the treaty of 1816, nor to take part in any congress in which England would not be represented; the last resolution being pro posed by Prussia. THE GERMANIC CONFEDERATION. CASSEL, Nov. 7. The Elector has refused to receive the address of the Chamber of Deputies concerning the re-establish ment of the constitution of 1831. To-morrow the Second Chamber will par farther resolutions probably to forward an address to the Federal Diet EXPRESS FROM PARIS. MOW OITEL OWN 001 PARIS, MONDAY EYINING. The Patric of this evening announces that the two final instruments of peace were paraptied at Zurich yesterday, and were signed by the three plenipotentiaries to-day. As to the congress, the latest news is the telegraphic summary of the contents of the London journals of this morning, which the Praise construes as showing that the " adhesion of England is some what less certain than was supposed." The Pays and Patrie, however, say with one voice that the meeting of a congress in which England will take part '• appears" to be beyond a doubt. Bat as to the conditions to which England will @aunt, they are re duced to repeat the various conjectures of the German press. It is said very confidently to-night in foreign office circles that the Congress will not be held at Brussels, but at Paris, au arrangement which would confer tie presidency upon Count Walewski, and be considered as additional evidence of the great political influence of France in Europe. There is a great talk of the revision of the treaties of 1816, of • reopening of the Eutsrn question, of the annexa tion of Savoy to France, and in short of everything but a practical plan for securing the peace, happi ness, and rights of Italy, which is the one matter really pressing. It seems certain that the King of Sardinia has answered the French Emperor's letter, and one cannot but wonder that his reply should not be made public. You will have seen a single sentence reported by the Diritto of Turin. It is now said here that the King tells the Emperor that he cannot adhere in the congress to the policy of France touching the restoration of the deposed dynasties; but he will promise not to give any armed aid to Central Italy so long as there is no military inter vention there by any other power. The Emperor is coming to Paris to-morrow from Compiegne to pay a visit of ceremony to the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, at the Hotel du Louvre. Inconsequence, says a paragraph in the French journals, of the " new interests" of France in the Red Sea, the Emperor's government has decided that a permanent charge d'affaires shall be accredited to the King of Abyssinia, and shall reside at Gondar. The Bourse has not been so good u on Saturday. A little hesitation at the opening was ascribed to the news that a large house at Toulouse h►d stopped payment. Subsequently, however, the Rent* was quoted at 70fr. 20c., but it became heavy before the close, and left off at 70fr. (Saturday's price) for cash, and also at 70fr., being a fall of 160., for account. Mobilier fell 12fr. 60c: The Eastern Railway fell 7fr. 40c., Orleans, 6fr.l and Lyons and Southern, Mr. 76e. each. Northern and Western were without change. The assessors are now seeing their clients, and preparing to do busi ness. The regular brokers hold a meeting this evening to decide whether the quotations of the business done by the assessors after Bourse hours, viz., from three to five o'clock, are to he published the same evening or the next day. It may be remembered that some time back several journals stated that the agents de change of Paris had offered to pay the city a yearly sum of 640,000 f. as a compensation for the suppression of the entrance- money paid by persona entering the Bonus during business hours. The city wanted 1,100,000 fr., but has now, it is said, consented to accept 900,000 fr., which the agents agree to give. When the Tribunal of Commene has been removed from its present locality, as intended, the rooms which it occupies will be converted into offices for the agents or their asosces. One of the assessors and a well-known speculator came to blows to-day in the precincts of the Bourse, and it is understood that they are going to fight a duel to-morrow morning. A letter from Marseilles says that the news was expected there from one moment to another that foreign corn was admitted into Portugal free of duty. It was also thought that Spain would adopt a similar measure. A despatch from Malta states that two English ships-of-war have left for Ancona, and two others for Corfu. The news from Spain is that the expedition against Morocco is somewhat delayed in consequence of the want of transports. Some of the sympathising French papers are writing flaming articles about the great fleet which Spain is "determined" to have, but they admit that, as yet, her intentions are not realised. The lines of the Critic, written in jest, seem now to be siegularly true: The Speniett fleet, as yet, thou meet sot see, Bemuse 'tis nut in sight. We learn by telegraph that on the morning of November 4, the Morocco gunboat Scylia was cap tured by the Spanish steam mime Alava, at the month of the river Tetouan, after a sharp engage ment.

(P/Orr OCR SPECIAL CORREAPONDENT.) FLORENCE, Nov. 2. In the last letter which I "trotl3oo from Bologna I told you that Garibaldi had been hastily summoned to Turin by the Sardinian government. Fanti fol lowed him a few hours afterwards, and to-day I hear from Turin that both these generals had a long Inter view with King Victor Emmanuel. lam now in a position to state, on what I think to be good authority, that the affairs of Central Italy were freely discussed at that important meeting. I hear also that there is no doubt that the letter addressed by the Emperor to the King of Piedmont, under date of the 20th of October last, was the cause of Victor Emmanuel's summoning the two commanders of the army of Central Italy to his royal presence. The cabinet of Turin, being fully con vinced of the total impossibility of carrying out the plan suggested in that letter by Louis Napoleon, is now under the necessity of taking a decisive step towards • speedy solution of the Central Italian question. My informant tells me that after the in terview with the King was over Garibaldi was heard to say that the hour for action was near at hand, and that both Victor Emmanuel and his ministers had finally determined to follow a more decided line of policy. I should not. therefore, be ' surprised at all if the telegraph from Rimini should bring the news that Garibaldi is on the eve of crossing the Tavollo on his way to Pesaro. This at any rate is the opinion which, if I am rightly informed, prevailed here this morning among official people. All sensible men in Florence believe now that there is nothing to be expected from the Emperor; and that, regarding the letter to the King as the last expres sion of the Imperial will, the only chance which re mains for Italy is to take the matter in her own hands, and to force Europe to accept her liberation ua fait accompli. Garibaldi is just the man for carrying out this bold plan with full success ; and I am convinced that the little army of his Holiness would be swept away in less than a fortnight by his gallant and well-organised legions. In spite, however, of the daring policy which is likely to be adopted in Central Italy, the apprehensions which are felt here by Baron Ricuoli and his colleagues are rather augmented than diminished. The reason of these apprehensions is simple enough. Although the government of Tuscany has placed unlimited reliance on the moral strength of the people it was called to rule, it cannot but fear the consequences of a decision which is so much at variance with the projects of the ruler of France. Before the publication of the last Imperial epistle, it firmly believed that the House of Lorraine could never be restored in this country, and even on the supposition that the annexation to Piedmont could not be carried out, it thought to have the independence of Tuscany at least recognised by the European powers. This, I have been told, was the principal cause of Baron Ricasoli's firmly opposing the fusion of the Duchy with Parma, Modena, and the Legations. The future fate of the last-mentioned provinces did not appear to Tuscan statesmen so certain as to induce them to embark in the same boat with them. To the urgent remonstrance of the Cavaliere the diplomatic agent of Bologna, they answered that if there was a state of Central Italy in which the restoration of the former raters was likely to occur it was certainly that which had sent him to Florence. The course of events has now destroyed the faith which the present rulers of Tuscany had, since the convention of Vtllafranca, felt in this solution. The hopes so long cherished by them, that the Emperor would at the last sacrifice the young Grand Duke, have been greatly weakened of late, and I am told that since yesterday they have come to the conclusion to trust less in diplomacy, and prepare themselves for action. Although the Tuscans are not such a daring set of people as their fierce brothers of Romagna, I have no doubt that they will fight well and obstinately should hostilities begin in Southern Italy. The inhabitants of this country, as you know, are a mild and rather slow sort of people, fond of talking, and no one could believe them capable of carrying on& fierce and obstinate war. It is generally thought that they are more adapted for the floe arts than for war. Yet hatred of the late government, the emulation which the fights of Peleliu° and San Martino have awakened in their hearts, and, more than this, the fear of having the Lorraine dynasty forced &gaits, upon them, have so changed their dispositions, that I am convinced they will prove as good soldiers as those of Piedmont and Romagna. No doubt the Tuscans too much neglected the art of war in their halcyon days, but even then they always fought bravely when the great interests of their country were at stake. Call to mind the siege of Florence in 1530, when a small bat free common wealth defended itself for nine months against the greatest monarch of Europe. Sismondi tells us, that " A body of mercenaries, organised by Giovanni de' Medici, a kinsmen of the Pope, seised at the time (1529) as a military school for the Tuscans, amongst whom alone the corps had been raised ; it acquired a high reputation under the name of Band. acre. No infantry equalled it in courage and intelligence. Five thousand of these warriors served under Lautrec in Naples, where they almost all perished." Such were the Tuscan soldiery under Malatesta, Baglioni, and Ferracei, in 1830; of like mettle were they in 1848, when on the 29th of May they defended the villages of Curtatone and Monte. nave, near Mantua. I therefore venture to assert that they will prove themselves made of equally good stuff in 1649, should German, French, or Neapolitan bayonets gleam on the banks of the Reno or the Arno. That the government of this country has now more faith in the armaments of Central Italy than in the meeting of European diplomatists is shown by the decree which appeared in last evening's Monitors Toseano:—Considering that the age of twenty-one, prescribed by the 3rd Article of the Law of July 1859 as a necessary condition for entering into the National Guard, hinders many young men, who are animated by patriotic senti ments, from joining it, the government of Tuscany has decreed that in certain cases young gien of not more than eighteen years shall be allowed to enlist. This wise step will, I am told, nearly double the numerical strength of the National Guard, which is well organised both in the capital and in the pro vinces. By another decree, also published in the last Monitore, Baron Ricssoli changes the name of the military school called Military Lyceum of the Archduke Ferdinand into that of Royal Military Lyceum, and gives the rules which shall henceforth regulate the admission of young gentlemen into it. Yon see that the activity of the Tuscan government is now almost exclusively turned to military subjects. It appears I. me that, notwithstanding the tone of the semi-official press, the rulers of Tuscany are really persuaded that the solemn crisis of the scrantry is not far off. The Narione of yesterday was anxious to prove that no material changes for the wens have been made by the treaty of Zurich. It advises, therefore, the people of Central Italy to keep quiet; for, according to the twenties writer, the only hope which still allures the enemies of the Italian cause is in the breaking oat of some internal disturbances. In spite, however, of the sensible advice of ° Star Fermi," the leading article of the Nasione betrays the fear of an imminent crisis. This fact , s more striking when we consider, as I wrote to you yesterday, that the paper in question is published under the inspiration of Baron Ricesoli himself. Day after day passes sway, and those in authority still maintain the most impenetrable reserve on the subject of the conspiracy, which some say wu die. covered two weeks ago. The only news I have been able to gather on this subject is that some of the pri soners have been released, and some sent to the fron tier of the Duchy. Avvocato Andreozzi, a red re publican of the brightest tint, is, however, still kept in strict confinement, a circumstance which makes people believe that the plot was rather a Mazzinian than a Decal one. The Tuscan Monitore Morelli and Vivani, envoys of the proviaional government, were officially received at Warsaw by Prince Gortschakoff, who assured them of the Czar's best wishes for Italy. that Counts BARDLNIA. The Diritto announces that the greater part of the loan has been subscribed for by the first banking houses of Turin, Genoa, Farms, Modena, Leghorn, Florence, and B ologna. The trading community of Milan, represented by M. Bellinghazi, have sub scribed for 26 millions. It is said that M. Boncompagni has refused the Ministry of Justice. The Indipendentd of Turin, of the 2nd, confirms the remarkable success of the loan. All Italy has wished to take part in it. The administrative reform is complete; the admi nistrative divisions are disappearing ; they are re placed by ten great centres in the old States and by seven in Lombardy. In each of them centres the government is represented by a governor, assisted by a deputy or sub-governor. The local interests are confided to a council taken from the ad ministrative electors of the province. A large ap plication of liberty is made in this new organisation of the kingdom. The following are the provinces created by the new law :—Turin, comprising Aosta, Ivrea, Pigne roles, and Susa (924,000 inhabitants) ; Genoa, com prising Albenga, Chiavari, Lecante, and Savona (643,000 inhabitants); Alessandria, comprising Acqui, Asti, Casale , . Novi, and Tortona (638,000 inhabitants) Co rsi, comprising Albs, Mondovi, and Salnzzo (604,000 inhabitants) ; Novara, comprising Biella Vercelli, Valsesia, and Ossola (573,000 inhabitants) ; Cagliari, cons prising. Iglesia, Isili, Oristano, Aighero, and Lannsei (328,000 inhabitants); Chambery, compris ing Upper Savoy, Moriana, and Tarantasa (270,000 inhabitants); Annecy, comprising the Chablais and Fossigny (232,000 inhabitants); Nice, comprising Oneglia and San-Remo (248,0u0 inhabitants); Sas sari, comprising Cagliari, Nuoro, Ozieri, and tempi° (246,000 inhabitants). Lombardy contained nine provinces : the greater part of one of them, Mantua, remains with Austria; Creme and Lodi are suppressed and incorporated, partly into Milan, partly into Cremona. In conse quence the new circumscription is as follows: Milan with 800,000 inhabitants ; Brescia with 463,000 ; Como with 432,000 ; Bergamo with 410,000 ; Pavia, to which are annexed Voghera, Mortara, and Bobbin, with 400,000; Cremona with 360,000; Sondrio, preserved from topographical necessity, with 103 , 000. The Opinions of Turin, of Nov. 1, thinks that the Emperor Napoleon, by his letter to the King, only wished to prove his good faith to Austria, and show her that he has on his part done everything to ensure the execution of the treaty of Villafranca. But his good feeling, it thinks, does not go so far u to wish to thwart the desires, intentions, and interests of Italy. PHE OREAT 8.:07.ERN. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.

THE FRENCH COCHT.—A letter from Compiegne gives the following details of the proceedings of the Court .—" The first stag-hunt took place on Friday, the meet being at the Pelts-du-Rol. The Emperor was not present, but her Majesty, In a charming hunting costume, arrived on the ground at one o'clock, followed by the guests of the palace. A fine ten. antlered slog wagoners after found, and allied after a splendid run of an hour. At night the curry took place by torch. light in the curt-yard of the palace with the usual cere monial, the Emperor and Empress witnessing it from the bid. cony. Other hunts are fixed fur the 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 28th. Daring the afternoon, the Emperor, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Colonel Reille, entered the shop of M. Lebrun, bookseller, and examined with great attention a number of photographic prints. A new portrait of the Empress particularly attracted the notice of the Em peror, who purchased It, with several others. His Majesty afterwards visited the church of St. Jacques, and resumed to the palace through the park, visiting the dog kennels on hie way. On Saturday there was a batter' In the reserved park, and in the evening the artistes of the alan performed in the court theatre the Testament dit Gar Girod9t, being the piece ordered." MM. Bogolouboff, Strom, Boudkovary, Tscher nikoff, and other Reticles artists residing to NT* have just addressed a letter to Count de Mauled, com plaining of the extraordinary conduct of a Russia named Wassilitchiltoff. "It appears," mays Galegnassi, " that this person, on his own authority only, had gone to the residence of these gentlemen, and in their absence had, under some pretext or other, obtained aroma to their apartments, where he examined all their papers and after wards interrogated the eervants and porters as to their habit,/ and means of existence." The official Gazette of Vienna says:—" the Duke of Modena has left Vienne for Italy to inspect hie troops, and to secertais for himself, on the approach of winter, their position mad their wants." Gatigleani of yesterday has the following :•-• " We regret to state that Mr. Mitchell, the originator of the Zoological Gardens in the Regent's-perk, and inventor o the aquarium, who was imitated in retie with the cegee reee tion of the grounds belonging to the SociOte d'Accliamtation e committed suicide, at his residence at Neuilly, on Thursday night.
