Its past conduct has been feeble and vacillating at one moment it has seemed willing and anxious to gratify and raise the notional spied of Hungary, and the next shrinking from the ap prehended results of its own work. Now, however, it must make up its mind. The course it may take at Peath within the next two months will probably decide once for all the future relations of Hungary to the Emperor of AUSTRIA. It is a great advantage for the EMPEROR that,with his imperfect .rights as King of HUNGARY, he has to do, not with diffused discontent, but with the legal representatives of the nation, taking their stand on definite rights, and a further advan lage, that his Minister can negotiate for a modifi cation of those rights with a statesman as capable as M. DEAR of answering in the name of his coun try. Still, it must be remembered that M. DEAR imperils his reputation every time he enters into relations with a Government from which Hun gary has suffered so much as it has from Austria, and the EMPEROR would do well to turn his ad vantages to account while they last, for it is im possible to predict how long they will continue. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE MTIAN TROCBLER. The news from Ireland, the Times says, compels suspicion and preparation. It adds to our expenses, and it supplies a scandal which is noted by all the world, while, with a very natural sympathy, everybody who wants to turn things upside down in this country exchanges winks with the Fenian., and has a scheme for dividing the land. But let it be understood that there is nothing poliiieal about the matter. Fenianism is nothing more nor less than a scheme for the reconquest of Ireland and a redistribution of its soil among the conquering party. The attempt is utterly hopeless of success, but the result would be one we shudder to think of. Over and over again have we seen in foreign papers the expressive taunt that if England can do nothing else she knows how to suppress a rebellion. That taunt we have seen before the Jamaica rebellion and before the Indian mutiny. The truth is that no government on earth can tie the hands and restrain the passions of subordinates on the spot. Should there be another Irish rebellion, there will be no false sympathy for those who take part in it, and it entirely depends on Ireland whether there is to be a repetition of the dreadful scenes of 1641 and 17913. The Times would rather give the warning now while warning can be given. How vain it is to talk about Jamaica now that all is over! How vain it may poesibly be to talk about Ireland this time next year ! It is no longer possible, observes the Daily News, to consider Fenianism as the mere crazy plot of a few adven turers without organisation and resources. Though it can have but one end, that of troubling the prosperity of Ireland, the Fenian leaders and their followers are evi dently prepared to encounter almost any amount of failures and miscarriages. As Lord Kimberley has said, the state of popular feeling in Ireland has never been so unsatisfactory since N9B. The best that could happen is that Mr. Stephens should carry out his promise of returning to Ireland and raising the standard of rebel lion before the year is out. The worst is that disaffection should linger on, waiting for an opportunity that will never come, unsettling men's minds by vain hopes and fears. The duty of the authorities is clear. It is their business to make an end of the scatter ; and the public feeling will support them in any legal measures, however severe, which may be necessary for this purpose. It sanctioned the mildness which spared the lives of the former convicts, and it will sanction an extremer course, should that be deemed prudent, now. But the sense that England is punishing offenders of whose guilt she is not wholly clear should check all merely vin dictive feeling, and especially the revival of that anti-Irish sentiment which it is one of the chief evils of Fenianism to have awakened into new life in England. The Herald assures the American Fenian that if they tempt our patience further by overt acts of violence they must expect no mercy at the hands of British colonists — co consideration whatever from the British government. The excitement caused in Ireland by the machinations of these misguided men and their secret emissaries seems likely to reach so serious a point that it will be quite im possible to trifle any longer with the question. The Telegraph urges that precautions be taken which shall prevent any outburst of Irish bitterness. It must not be said that in the year 1866. great Irish towns were sacked, men and women murdered, the atrocities of the Whiteboy period repeated, and then hundreds of mis guided rebels shot down. There must be no such scenes ; the very first sign of outbreak must be the signal for the exercise of an energy which, in its swiftness and decision, shall be full of mercy. The Star regrets to sec Lord Abercorn in power at the present moment, because his capacity for such a crisis is as yet untried, and because he belongs to a party whose notions of repressive measures are too much of the Jamaica school. The Star fears there can be little doubt that some frantic scheme or other is in preparation for a Fenian outbreak. Cite Orvrefo. TO COBRIAPON DENTS.

Now that the Hungarian Diet is again in session we shall soon learn whether the Austrian Govern ment has been instructed by the lessons of the expiring year, or is capable of repeating at Pesth the errors of last December. An opportunity, pos sibly the last that may ever be presented, is now offered to it of cancelling the disastrous effects of the policy which under various forms it pursued from 1849 to 1865. M. DEAK is reported to have expressed a more favourable opinion of the new Royal Rescript than might have been expected, as containing a recognition of national right such as the Diet may accept as a basis fur negotiation. This conci liatory disposition of tho great leader is understood to have somewhat diminished his parliamentary following, by alienating from him some members of the Extreme Left ; but M. DEAK Still commands a majority in the Diet, and if the subsequent conduct of the Govern ment should not belie his hopes, he may reasonably expect to effect a reconciliation between the Crown and the long-estranged people. For this purpose, however, it is absolutely necessary that in his dealings with the Hungarians FRANCIS JOSEPH should display two qualities which have not uniformly been conspicuous in his public acts. A year ago the KING had brought himself to make very large concessions to his Hungarian people nothing less than a complete surrender of the doctrine so savagely maintained by the BACKS and SCHWARTZENBLEGS, that the ancient con stitutional rights of Hungary had been com pletely forfeited by revolution, and the acknow ledgment of the contr.try one of the " continuity " of the national right," which the Hungarians had not ceased to assert in the darkest hour of their misfortunes. But this very important concession was neutralized, and became valueless, through the awkwardness of the Royal Ministers. Instead of making it the basis of a scheme of reconciliation, and laying a developed plan before the Diet, they left that body to shape out such a scheme. This abnegation of their proper functions had the con sequence that might have been expected. Pre cious time was wasted, and the negotiations were protracted until the Austrian monarchy was over taken by external dangers, and the EMPEROR and his Ministers were compelled to withdraw from their unaccomplished task, and give all their atten tion to foreign and military affairs. If Hungary had only been reconciled and satisfied in 1865, the battle of Sadowa might not have been the decisive overthrow it proved. Certainly if the Emperor of AI:STRIA could have fallen back upon the kingdom of Hungary, and had the support of a free Parliament and a loyal people, ho might have compelled Prussia to make peace on terms very different from those which were signed at Prague. It is not too late for the advisers of the EMPEROR to lay these things to heart, and reflect on the advantages they lost by the dilatory and indecisive character of their policy last year. On the contrary, the cir cumstances in which they are once more placed are such as to make the lesson appropriate and frui;.- ful. No one can tell how soon Hungary may again become the turning point of the military fortunes of Austria, but it is well known at Vienna that it would be most unsafe to neglect any precaution which may strengthen the empire. The Austrian Government is now proceeding to a complete reorganization of the army, involving changes in the obligations of military service such as will be found most onerous to the subject, and must prove imprac ticable unless aided by an accompanying strong development of national sentiment. The period of liability to military service is to be lengthened, and a number of exemptions hitherto recognized are to be abolished. Inasmuch as these changes cannot be effected without much trouble, besides involving the Go vernment in great unpopularity, it may be pre sumed they are necessary. But the EMPKBAMeS advisers have found out by this time that a mere mechanical army, built up by organization and discipline, will not suffice for its wants, pressed upon as it is by States in which the impulses of national life are quick and vigorous. The enor mous number of Austrian soldiers who allowed themselves to be made prisoners in Bohemia show§ that where patriotism does not coincf: lo With Inilitary duty it may be possible to have too many ,soldiers. The military resources of Hungary would bo of incalculable value to the Austrian Govern ment if it could realise them ; but they can only be fully developed by the free public opinion and the national Diet of Hungary. The question is whether the Government accepts all the conse quences of this fact, of which it cannot be ignorant. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1866. THE. TRADER' UNION DEMONSTRATION. The Herald trusts that the trades' unions will accept n the government offer of Primrose.hill for their place of meeting on Monday. Nothing, it says, could have been fairer or more conciliatory than the language of their do. putation to Lord John Manners, and it is glad to recognise in it a character and a purpose quite distinct from those of the followers of Mr. Reales and the members of the Reform League, and especially hostile to the roughs. In the event of their accepting Primrose-hill there will be little or no difficulty along the line of march from the Duke of York's Column, up Regent-street to the place of meeting; and a useful precedent will be established for the holding of future public meetings, not in central royal parks, but in suburban localities—a sort of Mons Sneer for the masse,. The Post continues to argue that all such demonstra tions are unconstitutional, and out of the pale of political right. The Telegrorh characterises as political insolence any argument which assumes that London is more likely to be riotous than Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. The government may shirk its duties, if it likes ; but Monday next will show that, in case of need, . the reformers of London are es competent to repress the ,` rough " as they are to eject the Tory. For once, the party of action and the party of order are the same. MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. The Telegraph is authorised to state that the question of the Alabama claims has been recently revived hy thernited States' representative in this country in the most concilia _. tory and friendly tone. The subjects now under the con sideration of the cabinet. The Times attaches leading importance to the statement that Signor Vegezzi will shortly proceed from Florence to Rome, on a mission from the Italian government. The ostensible subject is probably merely that of filling up the episcopal chairs vacated by death or from other causes. Rut by these advanc9l the Pope clearly shows that the dangerous promptings of the Ultramontanes have not pre vailed, and that he is too old, too timid, or perhaps to, Italian, for the desperate resolution of a second flight from Rome. The failure of Mr. Doulton in his attempt to punish a contemporary for criticising his public career is a subject of congratulation with the Star. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn truthfully summarised the signification of the article, and showed that it only went to fix upon Mr. Doulton the stigma of obtaining a seat on certain prin ciples and voting in parliament against them. If it is not punishable to say this Mr. Doulton is without remedy, and no one could say less who cared to say anything at all of his political eccentricity. A letter from Mr. Sidney Smith stake that on the banks of the Thames alone in the single trade of ship-building there are at present as many as 27,000 workmen entirely out of employment, and this the Times ascribes in no slight degree to the operation of the successive strikes 1 which trades' unions have commanded. At this moment, as a matter of fact, work has left the Thames for the Clyde, and much that used to be done in this country is now done in France. Belgium and Germany carry off contrasts for locomotives ; and French builders supply foreign ouatoissers with ships of war. JAMAICA Commrrree.—We understand that Mr. Charles Darwin, author of the " Origin of Species," has been elected a member of the Jamaica Committee. LATIET 1N TEL LIG EN CE. VENICE. The electoral colleges of Venice are convoked, as is known, for the 23th November. An electoral association, the programme of which is drawn up by Captain Fambri, has been established, and nearly the whole of the citizens have joined it : This programme excludes from the .list of candidates, let, those who have been in office under the Austrian government, " they may be restored, but not so soon ;" 2nd, the partisans of that clerical influence which is directed towards a political end, and those who systema tically oppose any religious confession ; 3rd, those who belong to the anti-constitutional opposition ; 4th, the in capable'; sth, those who are no more than titled; 6th, and lastly, the programme prescribes that in cases in which probity and talent are equal in both candidates the wealthier is to be preferred. Conservatism is evidently the distinctive charac teristic of the present state of things in Venice. RUSSIA. The Russian Corresyo n of St. Petersburg of the 19th has an article on the subject of the ukases published on the occasion of the marriage of the Cesarewitch. It is nothing but a long eulogy on the system pursued to free Russia, " and consequently Poland," from the effects of the ancient regime and the late revolution : Happily (says the writer) the evil is notorious and the remedy almost found ; legislative measures concern ing the sale of property in the western provinces are under consideration and will soon be promulgated. Any one must be wilfully blind not to see the wisdom which characterises the reforms successively undertaken in Poland. All the rumours that have been current at dif ferent periods, and which we have denied in their turns, give way before facts. The determination of the govern ment is immoveable : persons may change, but the system will be continued, for that alone can assure the welfare of the masses at the same time as the security of the empire. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE HUNGARIAN DIET. PESTH, Nov. 27. The members of the left of the Hungarian Diet have resolved not to vote any address in reply to the royal rescript, but merely to adopt certain re solutions on constitutional questions.

M..NDAY EVENING. There is not a single Paris journal which now ventures to express a doubt that Maximilian is on his way home from Mexico. The Pays puts for ward a reason for his flight from his empire which, though obviously suggesting itself t those in search of an excuse,no other government organ has had the courage to adopt. It says that the lamentable state of his wife's health is the cause of his journey to Europe. Unfortunately for this theory it is known that Maximilian was aware of the terrible calamity which had befallen the Empress some days before he expressed a determination to stick to his empire to the last gasp, and the political reasons which have driven him away are so abundant as to leave no place for the private motive which the Pays would foist upon the simple , minded. The Vigie of Cherbourg publishes some severe strictures upon the accommodation provided for the French troops on board the transports which are to bring them from Vera Cruz. It says that as many as 9,000 men are to be packed like herrings on board six ships, which are totally in adequate to carry so many with any regard to their health and comfort. It regrets that " economy," which was forgotten when the Mexican expedition went out, should now be severely enforced at the expense of the soldiers coming home after having suffered frightful hardships in an unfortunate I cause. The new editor of the Muniteur, M. Norbert Billiart, a witty barrister, whose weekly articles in a legal review, the Monde Judieiare, have long been deservedly popular, has the ill luck to find himself prosecuted in the Correctional Court for a libel, on the very morrow of his installation in his official functions. Happily for him the prosecutorisnottheProcureur-Imperial,but a private individual. It would be awkward to find the editor of the Moniteur, who must be supposed to represent in the highest degree the principle of order in the press, performing his functions while suffering a month's imprisonment for a libel emanating from his own pen. No doubt the astute ness of the correctional judges will prevent such a catastrophe. The Bourse was firm, and the reason given by the semi-official journal is the prevalence of a belief that the abdication of Maximilian will result It . e a sr t . WIN OASTS .

The Chancellor of the Exchequer left the Castle to-day. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Trea sury, in Downing-street. The ministers pre sent were the Earl of Derby, the Lord Chan cellor, the Duke of Buckingham, the Earl o f Malniesbury, the Right Hon. Spencer H. Walpole, Lord Stanley, the Earl of Carnarvon , General Peel, Viscount Cranborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir John Pakington, Sir S. Northcote, Lord John Manners, the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, and Lord Naas. A deputation, consisting of Messrs. George Potter, Robert Hartwell, J. Bryers, Thos. Coffey, Jenkins, and G. Brooke, had an interview with Lord J. Manners, at the Office of her Majesty's Works, yesterday. Despatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial office, from the Governor of Canada. Despatches were sent to the Governors of Malta, the Mauritius, Ceylon. Hong Kong, Labuan, the Australian Colonies, New Zealand, the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, and Gibraltar. THE ROYAL VISIT TO WOLVERHAMPTON.—The town-clerk of Wolverhampton waited yesterday afternoon upon General Grey, at Buckingham-palace, to submit programme of the corporation arrangements, and the route through which it is proposed to take her Majesty and the other royal visitors, with also a draft of the address, by the reoorder of the borough. Ten rooms for royalty, the suite, and the attendants are being fitted up at the Great Western Railway Station, where her Majesty has ordered luncheon to be prepared at her own cost by the Lord Steward. Her Majesty will not take luncheon upon her arrival, but upon returning from the town, and immediately before her departure. So soon as the statue has been unveiled, five guns sent to Wolverhampton by the War-office will boom out the fact, and then her Majesty's military band will, after playing the national anthem, perform a piece of music which is closely associated in the Queen's recollection with the memory of the departed Prince. This is itself a portion of the arrangements made by the royal house. The cor poration are pushing forward the erections for the accom modation of spectators around the statue, and the six miles of barricading along the thoroughfares which will be traversed by the royal cortege. There will be six triumphal arches, one will be built of coal and iron ; another will be constructed of hardware trophies, and another will take a castellated form. Indeed, the private inhabitants are taking up the matter most enthusiastically. Propositions are being made for the presentation of an address to the Queen from the portions of the parlia mentary borough outside Wolverhampton. The railway companies are advertising to carry passengers from Bir mingham every half-hour ; and the whole of the manu facturing portion of the West Midlands are considerably excited in anticipation of being able to join in the festivi ties. The mayor of Wolverhampton has asked that the day may be observed as a holiday, and manufacturers com plying with his request are some of them closing their works for the week on Thursday night. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, K. G., It c., has signified hisintentionof laying the foundation stone to a new (Smalley) wing of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum, Old Kent-road, on Friday next, at 12 o'clock. The Lord Mayor, sheriffs, undersheriffs, and many persons of distinction, will, it is expected, be present. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 21st says : "This morning the Emperor requested the Prince of Wales to accompany him in a visit to the riding-school. When arriving on the spot his Majesty placed himself at the head of a troop of Caucasian horsemen who had been waiting to receive him, atil executed some intricate manmuvres before his illustrious guest. His Majesty ' being himself in Circassian uniform, and speaking I with the chief of his Circassian escort in the language of his 'Malioniedrua subjects, then ordered him to perform some of those feats of horsemanship in which the Circassian/ excel. Upon the word of command being given a number of Cirmissians dashed forward, and while at full speed suddenly turned upon their horses, firing behind them. Another file, galloping after the first, fired to the left, and, deserting their seats at the same moment, hung on the right of the horses, so as to expose only their left legs to the supposed enemy. Others flung handkerchiefs on the ground, and lifted them up in head long career. At last they came on in a thundering gallop, standing on their horses, and preceded by one who stood on his head in the saddle. The Prince was greatly amused by an exhibition which had more in common with circus evolutions than the simpler but more effective movements of European horse." At the ordinary meeting last evening of the Royal Geographical Society a letter was read from Dr. Livingstone, from the Rovuma river, Kist Africa, in which lie described the progress he had made in pursuing the course of that river into the interior, with the object of reaching the north end of Lake Nyassa, and thence proceeding to Lake langaityiki, which lies to the south of the Albert Nyanza. The Litter lake, which is at present I considered the source of the Nile, is suspected by many geographers to derive its waters from the southern one, which would in that case become the source of that river. Dr. Livingstone stated that he had advanced along the Rovulna about 100 miles, and though the natives were not to be trusted, he hail succeeded in gaining the favour of one of their chiefs, and he felt confident of being able to accomplish the objects he had in view. The experiment of taking camels and buffaloes with him had not answered, for several of the animals had died. Dr. Cimuning writes to the Tinter to contradict a report of one of his late sermons. He denies that he fixed the end of the world for this year, l S Ai. " I merely took the opportunity," be says, " of stating that 20 years ago Elliott and, the greatest writers on prophecy, starting from a.p. 532 or from A.O. COG, have taught that we may expect this very year the final judgment on the papacy, In far as providential. But all of us expect it is not to be utterly destroyed till He come whose right it is to reign. The earth, I believe, is to be transformed, not annihi lated." He adds an extract from one of his hooks, in which he said, " How soon after 1867 the Redeemer will return and take the kingdom and reign over all the earth I cannot say." In a correspondence with Mr. Clay, M.P., Mr. T. Hughes explains that in his recent speech at Lambeth he did not intend to say that Mr. Clay's Franchise Bill was intended by its author to embarrass the government or delay their measure. " What I had in my mind," says Mr. Hughes, " and wished to express, was that it was so used by a party in the house to some extent. I myself was strongly canvassed to support it, on the ground of my ad vocacy of an educational franchise, by more than one mem ber notoriously and openly opposed to the Government Bill, and I found considerable difficulty in refusing to do so." -- --- Thanks to the endeavours of Mr. Michell, her Majesty's Consul at St. Petersburg, a hospital for British seamen will be opened next spring at Cronstadt. The new hospital will contain 40 beds, and be supported by a tax on British shipping at the rate of one rouble per man of the crews of sailing vessels, and 50 copecks per man in the case of steamers. The cost of establishing the hospital is defrayed from voluntary contributions, partly of private gentlemen, foremost among whom is Mr. J. G. Hubbard, M.P., the owner of a large cotton spinnery near St. Peters. burg, And partly of corporations, the British factory there having subscribed 5,000 roubles, and the Russian Company 1,000 roubles. The Board of Trade has also given 5,000 roubles. The Arcnir National publishes the following telegraphic despatch from Rome :—" The Pope has in vited the Empress of the French and the Prince Imperial to go and pass the Christmas holidays in the Eternal City." Letters from Naples state that the princely family of Angri has definitively loot all hope of finding its heir, a young man of 19, who diaappeared at Curious without say news or any trace of him being obtained. The family lately had a glimpse of hope, as he vas said to be a prisoner in Hungary; afterwards, that he had been carried off by brigands, Lc. At last they have had his funeral service celebrated, and gone into mourning. He was one I of the finest young men in Naples.
