THERE will be great excitement in the Capitol at Washington to-day, and all over the Union anxious crowds will be waiting for the news of what has been occurring there. To-day Congress assembles for its short session, but with the uni versal conviction that on the events of this session much of the future hangs. We may dismiss as utterly without foundation the vague suspicion that the PRESIDENT would refuse to send his Mes sage to a " Congress of only part of the States," and may take it for granted that Mr. JOHNSON will perform his constitutional function and meet the representatives of the national will with his Annual Message. But it will be impossible to conceal the altered position in which he stands to Congress compared with that in which he stood at thistime last year. Then his quarrel vriththe Legisla turehadnot begun—now it has been prosecuted to its issue. Then, too, he had a policy which was apparently approved by the people, and Congress had not yet originated a scheme of reconstruction—now the policy of Congress has been settled, and an appeal to the verdict of the people has resulted in its almost unanimous endorsement and the rejection _ _ - and repudiation of Mr. JOHNSON'S plans. In his Message last year Mr. Joussos assumed the atti tude of the great reconstructor of the Union, and invited Congress to co-operate with him. But what will he do in the Message of to-day? He and Congress have changed places, and the popular anxiety is to know whether he will consent to co-operate with the Legislature and to carry out its plans. It will be hardly possible that there should not be something like a look of triumph on the faces of the PRESIDENT'S opponents to-day. They come back to their duties after a campaign which has been for them a most decisive victory, and for him an irretriev able defeat. Both have appealed to the verdict of the nation, and the nation has declared itself on the side of Coe:Jess, and has given it a successor in its own likeness to take up the policy it has initiated and to carry on in the same spirit the work it has begun. This Congress, which Mr. JOHNSON sconi..al, anal which ho designed to repu diate as an incm?lete and unconstitutional body, meets him to-day with the vast mass of the American people behind it. On the other side, Mr. JoiiNsos may claim that he repre sents the excluded South, but he can no longer claim that ho " represents the people of all the " States." He represents to-day only an opposition to the national will, and the one question with the people is, not ns to what ho will recommend, but whether he will yield. There can now be but one way of healing the division between the Legislature and the Executive, it is by the distinct abandon ment on the PRESIDENT'S part of his dictatorial attitude and extravagant claims, and by the entire abandonment of legislative work to the legislative body. But if Mr. JOHNSON is not able to do this his attitude to-day will not be dignified, nor will his position be enviable. If he should reiterate his proposals for immediate reconstruction, he will be like a voice crying in the wilderness. If he sug gests another constitutional amendment which ad mits the principle of the present one, he will only cover his retreat with the semblance of dignity, and offer a compromise when judgment has gone against him. Nor would his suggested adoption of the " Radical " policy, by the proposal of " universal " suffrage and universal amnesty," at all retrieve his position. It is too late for new proposals, which would be too obviously made in the bitter ness of defeat, and would be regarded as mere clever moves to checkmate his opponents. There is but one course really open to him. When there was nothing left but to die the old Roman tried to die with dignity. There is nothing left to Mr. JOHNSON but to yield, and for his own sake and that of the Republic we hope ho will yield with dignity. He need not even confess that he was mistaken. He may still prefer his own method of reconstruction, but as the people have chosen an other, may see it to be his duty to co-operato with them. He, the executive of the national will, has no alternative but to do as the nation bids him, and carry out the policy which the people have resolved on. If Mr. JOHNSON takes this tone to-day he will do much to redeem the indiscretions of the past, and will establish a claim to the tolerance, if not to the respect and confidence, of the American people. Whatever Mr. JOHNSON may say on the one great question of reconstruction, there are some other matters in which he and his audience will be one. He will most likely say something of the Fenian movement, but though his sympathy with • rrn EVRE*3, MONDAY EVENING,. DECEMBFiIt 3, 1866. the wrongs of Ireland is sincerikantf deep; we di not expect that he will sam•U* or' afjpore the Fenian method of attempting to iedresi them: He will say something of the claims against England for the depredations of the Alabama, and will trChairtli3r gittbuded when he tells the public that England is far more disposed than she was last year to settle those claims and the questions which arise out of theM on the basis of jus itice. Of the downfall of the Imperial Govern ment in Mexico he will speak with a Republican's pride, and be heard with Republican enthusiasm. With information later and fuller than can be pos sessed in Europe, he will be able to speak with certainty as to the position of that unfortunate State, and the prospects of Republican revival there. Nor will it be on merely foreign and external matters that the Panama= and his great audi ence will be in a congratulatory mood. That vast flow of the old world populations in the track of the setting sun which is fright ening our old world governments is giving to the Americana much cause for boasting. Already the losses of the civil war are more than Liade up, and the enormous increase of population is developing the resources of the remotest West and laying the foundations of new States in the territories of the Union. Colo-ado and Nebraska I'M mos. likely be in a position to apply for admis sion this session, and the PRZSIDENT can speak of the rapid growth o: the Republic to fill the land which Divine Providence has given it. The finances of the Union will also be spoken of with a natural gratulation. The Paasioarrr will have to tell the representatives of the nation that not I only has the crash predicted by hostile foreign critics not taken place, but that trade is increasing, that a wonderful prosperity characterises the commercial cities, and that the national credit has been more than sustained. He will be able to say that, notwith standing the large reductions in direct taxation made last year, the- amount which will be gathered f.om that source this year will not only exceed the' estimates, but will exceed last year's total ; that the amount collected from duties in 1866 will be a hundred millions of dollars in excess of the amount collected in 1865 ; that the national debt has been reduced by nearly one hundred and ninety millions of dollars during the year end;ng the 31st October, and is now two hundred and six millions below the maximum it attained during the civil war ; and that a steady but sure advance is being made in the ( contraction of an inflated currency and towards the eventual and not remote resumption of specie payments. With all these causes of congra tulation, it will be strange if there is not a broad ground of sympathy between the PRESIDENT and his listeners to-day. And if, as we hope he may, he puts himself aside, and yields frankly to the great expression of the popular will, he will be ab'e to tell the representatives of the North, and the unrepresented people of the South, that only political difficulties of their own making cloud the prospects of the future, and that the restoration of the old prosperity of the Republic will speedily follow the restoration of fraternal relations between the various sections of its The resit on white Dr. Hunter's reputation IV." hereafter -.

The inauspicious weather which prevailed during the morning threatened the success of the long talked of reform demonstration, but the rain which had been falling from an early hour ceased shortly after 10 o'clock, and the arrangements .contem plated by the promoters of the demonstration were fully carried into effect. It was expected that the numbers looked for would be considerably dimi nished ; but if this is so the falling off will be not owing to the absence of bond fide working men but to that of sight-seers. St. James's-park, Trafalgar-square, and Pall-mall, presented a busy appearance. There appeared to be no inter ference with or obstruction to traffic, and although the police were present to preserve order, there seemed to be no need of their services. Idlers and boys abounded in the crowds, but there was an entire absence of that roughnessof conduct which usually characterises our London mobs. About half-past 10 the trades and societies commenced getting into position in the park beneath their bannerets. The societies were formed into four divi sions. The first division was formed in the right and left avenues facing Buckingham Palace, continuing round Spring-gardens-avenue, towards the Horse Guards. The second division, commencing oppo site the Horse Guards, extended through the gates leading_ into Birdcage-walk, and continued along the Horse-ride and Birdcage-walk towards Buckingham Palace. The 3rd division commenced at Buckingham Palace-gate, continuing up each side of Constitution-hill ; while the 4th division, consisting of the branches of the Reform League, were formed at Trafalgar-square, and proceeded down Parliament-street and Great George-street, halting at Storey's-gate. The members of the Farriers' Society, who were mounted, arrived at Marlborough court-yard at half-past 10, and excited much attention. About half-past 11, nearly the entire number of societies connected with the demonstration were in march ing order, the members having plax-d themselves six abreast, at the rear of their respective bannerets. At this time a great crowd had col lected at Marlborough House-gate, through which the procession was to pass, and at the bottom of St. James'a-street were drawn up a number of carriages in which the deputations, /ix., were to be driven. The deputations composed delegates from Liver pool, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Brighton, and other large towns. In three other carriages were gentlemen who formed a so: of advanced guard of the procession. One of them contained Mr. George Brookes (treasurer), Dr. Massie, Mr. Reuter, and Mr. Troup. In another was Mr. Beale', who on being recognised as he proceeded to the carriage on foot, was loudly cheered, Colonel Dickson, Captain Dresser Rogers, and Mr. Bubb ; while a third carriage bore inside the members of the committee of the Working Men's Association, and outside, in front, Mr. Hartwell, who acted as secretary. Mr. Potter was conspicuous in marshalling the peaceable forces of the day. As noon approached, the crowd, of course, be came denser, and locomotion was any thing but convenient to the foot pas sengers, but the much-dreaded " roughs " were nowhere. The general good humour and orderliness of the crowd were very remarkable, and the one or two policemen here and there had really nothing to do ; they were simply spectators. STARTING OF THE PROCESSION. The procession started precisely at 12 o'clock, though the bugle note was certainly not audible in Pall-mall. The farriers who led the way, the popular cavalry, were a very fine body of men, and managed their steeds most dexterously. They were very much cheered, and the service they rendered in clearing the way as the vanguard contributed greatly to the success of the march. As the procession set out on its live miles route, with bands playing, flags waving, and all eyes scanning its chief features, the spectacle was very interesting, and the crowd, who from their conversation appeared to be all reformers, loudly expressed their pride and - T 1 ' numerous. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE REFORM DEMONSTRATION TO-DAY. The papers to-day treat of the reform demon. atr►tion from various points of view. The Times restricts itself to enlarging upon the tremendous responsibilities which the projectors of the meeting have incurred— observing that it will be unheard of good fortune if the experiment terminates without misadventure. It then proceeds to suggest the danger of a pressure, of a panic, and other similar causes of disaster, concluding with an advice to householders to be to-day their own policemen, as London will be a in great measure deprived of its ap pointed protectors. The Daric New observes that the visit to Wolverhamp ton has shown that her Majesty has only to appear in public to awaken the latent feeling of respect and affection Tito new life, and it is wen .h remembering that the per sons whose enthusiastic loyalty was so displayed are in great part the very individuals who flocked some months since to the great reform meeting at Birmingham, which some of our contemporaries were anxious to see dispersed as an illegal and seditious assembly, and that they share the ideas and desires of the men who a-e to gather to-day in the Beaufort Rifle-grounds, and on whom Mr. Walpole. with weak tenderness and culpable lixity, declines to try the effect of a volley of grape-shot. The Wolverhampton demonstration ought to reassure even the most tiniid as to the real character of the reform demonstrations of the present autumn. The display of r umbers to-day is a manifestation of wide-spread personal interest in an extension of the franchise, and an appeal to the goo 1 feeling and reason of the actual depositories of power. The only danger which can con nect itself with such events is created by the alarmists who persist in regarding them as a threat ; and who really preach physical force by the subtlety of their suspicions and the ardour of the"• denunciations. The Pat asks a variety of questions, the greater por tion of which will have been answered before we go to press. The Herald confines itself to enforcing the consideration - _ that to-day's proceedings amount exclusively to a mani festation of opinion in favour of manhood suffrage, and, . . . therefore, will be entirely without effect so far as assist ing the introduction of a practical reform bill ; but the ' members of the late government, the Iltralci says, hope by means of these demonstrations to prepare a perpetual em barrassment for the present government, and precipitate its overthrow. Lord Derby may bring forwanl a reform bill, but certainly such a demonstration as that of to-day will not influence its character. The Telegrapit exhorts the timid householder to dismiss all fear from his mind, and predicts that the proceedings will be characterised by all that can make them impres sive and efficacious. The Star says if the trades show their strength effec tively to-day, we shall probably hear no more of any tory tinkering. The question which is to be settled will show itself far too great for the capacity of a conservative cabi net, far too real to be conjured out of existence by some Sidonian juggle of political compromise. DR. HUNTER AND THE " PALL-MALL GAZETTE." It cannot be denied, the Times say., that several pas sages quoted from Dr. Hunter's work, whether they in volve scientific absurdities or not, are eminently calculated to mystify the popular mind, and to produce on a critic the impression of charlatanry. Still, all this falls short of proving criminal imposture, and it is not impossible, as Mr. Coleridge suggested, that Harvey and Jenner may have equally outraged the professional prejudices of their own day. It is not, however, recorded of those great dis coverers that they prefixed to their great works prefaces written by their own paid assistants, in the assumed cha racter of independent judges converted to the new system, or that they appended thereto notices of the places and hours at which they might he consulted. It waa probably such cir eumstances as these, coupled with the apparent design to excite needless alarm for the purpose of decoying patients, which led the jury to a conclusion more satisfact-ry to the defendant than to Dr. Hunter. A verdict for the plaintiff with one hulling damages implies a belief on their part that although the law was violated there was every possible excuse for its violation. We should fail, the Tine says, in our duty if we did not express the conviction that such • verdict entirely meets the justice of the cone, and that our contemporary is entitled to the thanks of the public for a courageous attempt to protect their interests. The Daily News is linable to see, except in a vague and general way, what the verdict signifies unless it be as ex pressing in • *amnion sense way the general and sub- I 'koala result of • patient and impartial Investigation. Such is the verdict is, it oonttitutea by the plaintiff's lown election, and in accordance with the views of his counsel, and of the explanation of the Lord Chief Justice, Elm Court.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—On Saturday the birthday of the Princess of Wales was cele brated on the Sandringham estate with treats for the school children of the schools on the property, while a bon- ; ; tire was A l lO lighted on Balaclava-hill. Great preparations have been made for the reception of the Prince of Wales ; at Oakley-park, Suffolk, on the occasion of his forthcoming visit to Sir E. C. Kerrison, M.P. The Prince sial arrive at the Disa station of the Great Eastern Railway on ; Monday, the 10th inst., and a:11 proceed at once to Oakley park. A bonfire will be lighted on a neighbouring heath, and beyond the heath the passage will be through an avenue lined with torch-bearers. The tenantry and a large number of the inhabitants will be invited to Oakley-park to witness the departure of the royal party at the con clusion of the visit, which v.:11 extend over two or three days, and on the same evening the tenantry, invited by Sir E. C. Kerrison, will dine together at Eye, in celebra tion of the occasion. Treats will also be given to the cot' tigers and school children. The volunteers of the neigh bourhood will form a guard of honour on the departure of the Prince, who, it is expected, will be accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, who will visit Lord Alfred Paget, at Melford-hall, on Wednesday, for a day or two's shoot ing. The royal brothers will probably also visit Lord Her tigmere, at Thornham-halL It is not now expected that the Prince of \Vales will be accompanied by the Princess, as had been at first anticipated, as the ascoischentent of her royal highness is expected to take place at Sandringham in Januar j.

M. Erdan, the correspondent of the 7emps, writes as follows from Florence : The great question of the day, even to the exclusion of the Papal question, is that of the marriage of the young Italian Princes. It is almost settled that Prince Umberto is to marry the niece of the Duke of Modena—the niece of Francis-Ferdinand-Creminioi himself—the niece of Madame the Duchess of Bordeaux, the personification of legitimacy and Divine right. She is, if I mistake not, the heiress of the Duchy of Modena. The ex-Duke of Modena, who has no child, bad a brother two years his junior, named Ferdinand Charles-Victor. He died in 1149, leaving by his mat:lase with the Archduchess Elisabeth of Austria, one daughter, boi a on the 15th December, 18-19, called Maria- Theresa.
