REPORT OF THEULATE ITALIAN MINISTRY. TITE.IN, Oct 4. A decree has been issued, convoking the Italian parliament. This decree is accompanied by a report, dated 19th Sept., addressed to the King by the late Italian ministry, which says : "At the moment,we assumed the reins of govern. ment, the Roman question was in such a condition, that it would have been unworthy and useless to immediately commence fresh negotiations. The government waited an opportunity, and has tened to take advantage of it when it considered the general state of affairs in Europe to be favour able. After the deliberations of parliament which were to guide the government, the Roman question could only be solved by moral means. To obtain the application of the principle of non-intervention it was necessary to proceed in accord with France. The Emperor of the French has always desired to be able to withdraw his troops from Rome, not only from this act being in conformity with the principles and public rights whereon the Empire and its policy are based, but also because the re surrection of Italy will be one of the principal glories of his reign. But the Emperor considered that he could not, by suddenly withdrawing his troops in a body, abandon the power that he had protected during fifteen years with his arms. In order to reassure the catholic sentiment, the Italian government could not but promise not to attack the Pontifical territory, and to prevent any attack being made by irregular bands from the frontiers of the Italian kingdom. This promise loyally given, and firmly kept, neither destroys nor diminishes the rights or the aspirations of the nation, but rather confirms the necessity of ope rating solely by moral force to obtain the triumph of the national ideas. Nevertheless, whilst the govern ment was engaged with the Roman question it did not forget the Venetian question. Austria encamped in Venetia might become a menace under circumstances to be foreseen. The principal idea of the King was always the organisation of a system of defence necessitating the treader of the seat of government to a locality more favourably situated than the present capital. Military coneideratioas canoed Florence to be selected. This transfer, al though essentially a home question, is connected with the Franco-Italian treaty—the conclusion of which it has facilitated—from having been re garded by France as a guarantee that Italy had renounced the use of violent measures towards the Papacy." The report then proceeds to speak of the sacrifices made by Turin, and acknowledges its merits. In conclusion, it expresses confidence that Turin will follow the example of its King who has devoted himself entirely to Italy. PRAYERS ORDERED AT ROME.

Of course, there are still some Piedmontese who are not satisfied with the decision of their new name, but even these are now prepared to discuss calmly the provisions of the convention and its secret article, and leave it to parliament —which will meet on the 24th to decide the great question. I have the fol lowing as the text of the Secret Article from a source which leads me to believe that my version is strictly correct, to the letter. " Secret article.—As a condition of the present convention the government of his Majesty the King of Italy binds itself to transfer definitively the seat of the government and its central adminis tration to Florence within the term of six months. It is agreed and understood that the period of two years fixed for the evacuation of the Papal terri tory will commence from the day in which the royal decree which establishes the transfer of the capital to Florence shall have begun to receive its exe cution."

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OR WALES IN SWEDEN. (non oos snow, STOCKHOLM, Sirr. 20. The Queen Dowager's ball, which took place last night, and was very brilliant, was got up entirely in honour of the English guests. Invitations were issued to a large number of residents and visitors to Stockholm, so that in referring to the little de tails of the evening, I am in no way intruding on the privacy of the Prince and Princess. Indeed it is evident that neither the Prince of Wales him self nor the royal family of Sweden are anxious to keep up the Prince's theoretical incognito during his stay in Stockholm ; and the gentlemen who hold those poets under the Swedish government which render them the medium of communication I between the royal family and the public are courteous and obliging in the highest degree to persons who seek for information. While on this subject, by the way, I ought to do justice to the official Swede. Men of high station are generally civil to those with whom they have business, whatever their nationality may be, but in Sweden even those who are in a comparatively sub ordinate position are polished and urbane as well. Under secretaries here appear to think that they support their dignity better by maintaining a gentlemanly bearing at all times than by assum ing a disagreeable and repulsive manner to strangers ; and what is most singular, I have I even found that the minor plamholders of the Swedish court are entirely free from the oftenaive I superciliousness of manner which men in their po sition, unless they are guarded by sound, good sense, are so liable to acquire. Men who fill such positions in the court of the King of Sweden, ISIS for instance, Lord Spencer occupies about the person of the Prince of Wales, would surprise English men by their high-bred gentleness of manner and freedom from the little-minded conceits and jealou sies so often engendered by the atmosphere of a royal household. The incidents of the Prince of Wales's visit require attention, or I should be glad to enlarge on many peculiarities of Swedish life which strike an Englishman new to Stockholm. The place is endowed with many agreeable charac teristics apart from the physical beauties for which it no so remarkable ;and I do not think that English families wishing to reside abroad could choose a pleasanter abode than this, but just at present I intuit concern myself with Drottningbolm instead of with the capital. The general company assembled about eight o'clock in saloons at some little distance from the ball room, and the royal party, who had been dining with the Queen Dowager in comparative privacy, with a very few guests besides the members of the suite, made theirappearance at about half-past. They than passed in procession through the saloons in which the company was assembled, along the great gallery of the palace to the ball room, and were followed by the other guests. First came the Prince of Wale', with the Queen Dowager on his arm. The Prince was in evening dress, with a white waistcoat crossed by the ribbon of the Garter, the Queen Dowager in dark violet satin and black lace. Her Majesty was evidently in the highest good humour, bowing and smiling in all directions to her guests. After her came the King and the heroine of the evening, the Princess of Wales. She was dressed very pret tily in a gauss costume, scarlet in oolour, orna mented by festoons of white lace. Prince John of Glucksburg led in the present Queen of Sweden, who was in pale sea green. The bend was stationed in a chamber opening out of the ball-room at one side, and the music was never oppressively loud, although abundantly au dible in all parts of the malls. The ball was admi rably arranged, indeed, in all respects, for there were not more than about two hundred people pre sent, and in the great salle they had room both for dancing and for circulating about. A waits was the grand dance, and the ball was opened by the King and the Princess of Wales. The King is a first. rate dancer, and he enjoys himself immensely at a ball. With the Princess of Wales last night he was parti cularly careful, never taking her round the room more than once at a time, but in general he is very energetic in his dancing, and fond of going at a pro digious speed. He dances so well, however, and with so much grace, that his movements do not appear to be violent at any time. The Swedish Princes, his brothers, dance more quietly than the Kiug, but with equal grace and skill. People are so often disposed to think that praises testowed upon royal people are exaggerated and insincere, that I have frequently checked myself when inclined to give vent to some warm expressions concerning the Swedish royal family, but this time it is no use trying to be reticent. I must declare emphatically that these three men, Charles, Oscar, and Augustus, are splendid fellows. Put them in any room you please, " bar none," as betting men say, and I venture to affirm before hand that any woman unbiassed by a previous at tachment would, if asked to point to the finest man I present, select one of the three. She would be I puzzled which of the brethren to choose, they are all so much alike, but she would certainly make her selection from the trio. They had all a fair share of the Princess's hand last night, but I although she deuced very frequently, she never went round the room more than once at a time. Towards the close of the evening, when the claims of the chief guests were satisfied, the Princes danced • good deal with young Sweden generally, of course selecting her partners herself, as I need not say that it would be contrary to etiquette, even in this, the freest and least restrained court in Europe, for any gentleman of less than royal rank to take the initiative in waltzing with the Princess of Wales. The ball was so much like a large and splendidly arranged private party that there is very little more to be said concerning its details. The Queen Dowager, the hostess of the evening, went about everywhere, speaking to almost everyone, and it was only from the deep curtseys of the ladies and profound bows of the men whom she addressed, that her rank could have been recognised by anyone who did not know her face. The present Queen remained gene rally near the upper end of the room with the Princess of Wales, but neither of them sat down much. The evening however was short, as the dancing concluded at about half-past eleven with a ootillon, and everyone went away immediately after supper, which was served in four or five different rooms. To-day the King and his guest' have gone off in a steamboat, with a band of music, to visit a place called Gripsholm, on the Molar lake. There is no fear, you may be quite sure, that the Prince will be enssu kh yi by tedium or monotony durini his stay in Stoc olm. INTERVIEW BETWEEN ♦ FRENCH AM BASSADOR AND AN AUSTRIAN MINIS TER. The Neue Neje Preen of the 2nd publishes the following details of the interview of the Duke de Ornament, the French Ambassador at Vienna, with Count Rechberg, on the 29th ult. : The Duke de Gramo;si lint read to Count Rechbsrg the teat of a despatch from M. Dronys de Lhuys. This NAB Wormed the Austrian cabinet of the conclusion of the Franco-Italian Convention. The text of the convention was not contained in the note, and its tenon was only in dicated by a few general phrases. The French ambassador accompanied the note with a few explanatory remarks of an extremely friendly character. But the Dake de Grammont, with that finesse of sarcasm by which be is distinguished, having probably remarked a certain ex pression of surprise upon the usually undecipherable fea tures of our Minister for Foreign Affairs, added in reply thereto that Court Rechberg would aasuredly not consider it astonishing that France had laboured at her project is perfect silence, and now caused a little surprise to the world. Austria herself, to judge from her behaviour in the Dane• German question, had exercised jealous are that no person should interfere in that matter, as even at premed the Vienna peace conference excluded the participation of all great powers except that of Germany. In speaking of Germany, the French ambuendce allowed the displeasure of the eabinet of the Tuileries at the treatment of the Danish question very *lily to appear, and ignored the Andra-Prussian alliance with nernistalreable intention. Count Rechberg now apparently expected the delivery of the text of the convention, but the Duke de Gram:neat stated that be was not yet in a position to make more de tailed communicatione, by reason of the ecieveation of the 15th September not being entirely eonipleted, as, to become valid, it required the meat of the Pape and the Italian parliament. Rapidly availing himself of the opening given by the French diplomatist, Count Rechberg replied that aa that wu the case, as the convention could not yet be communicated, and as it was only considered by the French cabinet itself as M a preliminary step, be was relieved of the aecamity of giving an immediate reply. Count Rechberg added that in a matter of sash peat range, the Duke de Gremmoot could not expect from him upon this occasion any expression of opinion. He recalled to the French am baseador the sentiments of the Sovereign ad the yeomen.. tatives of Austria upon the Italian question. and appealed in that respect to the thorough knowledge the ambeasado r pomemsd of the situation of affairs at Vienna. THE PROPOSED PRIZE FIGHT IN IRELAND. DUBLIN, Tuntur. The expected battle between Mace and Coburn did not come off. It was, according to Coburn's nomination on Friday, to take place between Gould's cross Station and Casbel, but the representatives of the men disagreed yesterday about the selection of a referee, and those acting for Mace stated that they would return to England that evening. Coburn's agent declared that his man was anxious fora fight, and would appear at the proper hour at the ring side. Neither Mace nor any of the pugilists who visited Dublin came down by any of the trains yesterday or to-day. Coburn is believed to be in the vicinity of Goold's-cross, but be has not shown, nor does his agent appear to know his whereabouts. The match, therefore, is believed to be off. On all the stations from Kildare to Limerick Junction the police are on she alert, and several persons, mistaken for Mace and Coburn, have, it is said, been arrested on the line. The Limerick Chronicle states that Coburn, accom panied by his friends, faced the spot intended for a tight amidst tremendous shouts from an immense multitude assembled. It is expected be will claim the sinkae, owing to she sonApprorame of Mane. DUNDRIIII, TIMSDAT. Coburn, it appears, was stopping at a farmhouse near Goold's-croes. The police searched for him, but be escaped. The following letter, addressed by Archbishop (Yellen, to the clergy of the diocese, is published is yesterday's Fre:4- MM Dublin, Feast of the Angel Guardians, 1864. " Very Bev.

This report most be the source of great r egre t to everyone who is imbued with the spirit at Christian charity, and who reolgaises in his fallow-man the image of the great Creator of the universe. It is not Deoemary to cell on you to use all your infineoce to preserve this Christian country from an exhibition **disgraceful and so well calculated to degrade human nature. I shall merely request of you to publish as moo as possible from your alters that such mutate in which human lite is exposed to danger are prohibited under the severest penalties by the holy catholic church. Parsing over the decrees of the council of Treat, i 6 will be sufficient to state that the lesrued Pontiff Benedict XIV. excommunicates the principal actors in so& tights, their moods., all who encourage them, and all who designedly become spectators of each unworthy scenes. If you announce these penalties from the altar. I em confident that the faithful of this diocese, who are so de- votedly attached to the holy catholic church, and so obe dMat to is law, will li sten with contempt to the invitation of those who w ould implicate them in the misdeeds of foreign gladiators, and will abstain from countenancing or encou raging anything condemned by our holy religion, and con tracy to the dictates of the Gospel.—Patii Cnu.nn." The S'porfing Life of today prints the following letter from Moos :—" Sir,—l take the earliest opportunity of in forming you. on mr reaching Loudon this evening, that I am greatly disappointed at not being permitted to fight Coburn. I have, for the eke of my backers, taken every pales in training, and today I was never more fit or better in my life, se my trainer, Milner, will certify. Ido not consider myself well treated, and Mr. Brunton, who never foiled • shilling of my money, has taken everything to himself, sod assert. that he was solely responsible in getting gentlemen to find um the amount required. Mr. Branton suddenly left me in Dublin on Monday with no ex planation. Coburn had every opportunity if he wished to meet me, and would only through his representative choose one re feree, a Mr. Bowling, of whom I know nothing, and who kale* said to be a brother-in-law of Coburn. I am most dis appointed. sad how on earth mild it be supposed that I should fight, with • men for referee of who*, position I know noel t 'ng, and who was • hundred miles away even when proposed? I wished any representative of the preen to act, and Milner even asked Coburn's Mend, Mr. Edwin James, of the New York Clipper, when Mr. Smith was objected to, if he (Mr. James) would stand, but he would not. Now, as to the money business. Every shilling that has been found me has come from sportsmen who put their names down, I trust, owing to my public reputation. Coburn's party placed an nantrololloalni• obstacle against our fighting, sad as I here rearm to suppose that Coburn was not even training, and evaded his engagement with no intention of fighting, I consider myself entitled to the stakes.—Yours most obediently, "London, Tuesday evening.

THZ HOP HARVPSTIN EirsSix. —The operations of hop-picking and packing have now been brought to a close throughout the hop-growiagdiatricts in Susesx,aod the result has been such as to give general satisfaction to the planters. /Guy 6:cahoot maniples were produced during the picking; sad although towards its close some of the gardens were beginning to Loam* • brownish appearance, the farmers, favoured by the see, calm. autumn weather, have been enabled to secure the whole of the produce in good condition. 0 doubtless, to the stem* of moisture for such • lengthe ned period during the sum mer the hops in many of plantations were foaled to be rather smeller le size, although they have almost invariably turned out well as regards weight. The product of the was, after making allowance for its unevenness in some districts, is considered to regattas • fair average crop. The yield has ranged from about eight bushels per 'tine to as many as 19 or AI, but from 10 to 12 bushels per ace may be set down as the average stun. During the past week a considerable qusetiti of the produce ham been dis posed of at various local fairs at prime considered highly remunerative to the grower.

THE EXPLOSION AT ERITH,. Now that all the main facts respecting the ter- Able catastrophe at Erith are biome, and so many thousand. of persons have visited the same of the disaster, public cariosity appears to be in some degree sated upon this subject, and notwithstanding that the official investigation commenced yesterday, comparatively few persons visited the scene of the disaster. Quite sufficient, how• ever, remains upon the ground to show the enormous ex tent of the devastation caused by this terrific explosion, but we are happy to say that, notwithstanding the exagge rated amounts which have appeared in several of our con temporaries, the injury to property (always excepting the entire destruction of the magazines themselves) is., although very wide-spread, more apparent than real, and consists chiefly in the breakage of the windows of houses within a circuit of some two or three miles of the eases of the explosion. In the immediate neighbourhood of where the magazines formerly stood, the ground is, of course. covered with dibris, bat of the houses themselves scarcely a trace remeies. The excitement and beetle occasioned by the visit of thonmeds of people to the spoil's' now entirely embed, and the ground between the village of Belvedere sad the river has resumed its usual dreary and deserted aspect. A few canons in batches of five or six were to be seen yes terday w►ndering over the manhole, looking with assiess curiosity at the various remains which are everywhere scat tered about, hut the number who were present in the imme diate neighbourhood of the Belvedere Hotel while the inquiry was going on did not probably exceed a honked, in cluding all those who were pecunierily or otherwise in terested is the inquiry. The panic, however, occasioned in the neighbourhood by the explosion has been excessive, and all yesterday and the day before van loads of furniture, which had been removed from houses even some miles dis tant from the scene of the catastrophe, were to be seen in the roads. The circumstance that almost all the windows of the houses !rooting the river have been blows out has brought down from London an army of glances, who are to be met with at every turn of the road with their packs at their backs main for a job. Yesterday we witnessed the unloading of several large crates of glum lent down by London tradesmen employed to repair the damage. The wind blew furiously from the out, and judging from the inoonveniwce experienced at , the Belvedere denim the short sitting of the coroner's jury in the large room of the hotel which had all the windows destroyed, the sufferings endured by such of the inhabitants of the surrounding district au bad the courage to remain in possession of their dwellings, must have been very great. Very little additional informa tion of real vales has been obtained beyond that which we have already_pablialied, but of course numerous isolated incidents aoemected with the extent of the explosion and its effect in various places continue to crop up. The pro. ceedings at the inquest yesterday were of the most formal character, and were merely intended, according to the coroner's own statement, to clear the way for the fuller investigation of the mum of the catastrophe. Such as they were, however, we report below. Up to yesterday morning the police continued to tied portions of human frames about the locality, sod these have been pot together se well as possible so as to give some chance of identification. One of the men on board the barges at the time of the explosion has thus been recognised ; there is no moral doubt he must have been killed Melanie measly. York and Wright were the names of the men employed inside the mammies', and of these there is hardly a clams of identification. The two bargee were the Good Design, William Jemmen, master, end Luke Barber, mate; and the Harriet, John Disdain, master, and Daniel We., mete. The Harriet is said to have bad 170 barrels on board, 000 of the barges, it is now amerced, was loading while the other was being unladen. We contiencto receive from numberless localities withia a radius of 50 miles of Loudon, accounts of the shoekicaused ' by the explosion. Even at Bedford, to take one instance, the midgets were awoke by the force of the commence ; and Bedford cannot be less than 50 nines from !kith.

Several windows and a mirror half an inch thick, in the Rauger's home, Greenwich, the seat of his Royal High. nem Prince Arthur, were broken. At the =melon of Vis count Sydney, Frognal, Sideup, a distance of 15 miles from the scene of the explosion, windows were broken and vases thrown down. At rhariton.park, the residence of Sir T. M. Willem, Bast, the damage to plebe•ems windows, conservatories, do., was very extensive. Large numbers of windows were also broken at Greenwich Hospital, Norden College, Blackheath, Herbert Hospital, Shooter's-hill, Deptford Dockyard, and Farnborough, Lewisham, and Greenwich union workhouses. The inquest, which was yesterday formally *petted, was bold upon the dead bodice of three persons which lay comparatively entire on the ground in the coach-hove' In the hotel yard. The remains of Mr. George Rayner, aged 40 years, the foreman to Moen. Hall, lay on • mattress, covered up with his owe coat. Next him lay those of Thames Hubbard, aged 52, aod John York*, • boy of only 13. Numbers of ghastly parcels wen deposited en the floor of the outhouse, end their blood. stilted appearance gave • sickening indication of their contents. In them were collected different portion of human bodies, supposed to be the sole remain of the men Wright and Yost., who were known to have been at work in the magazise at the time of the explosion. In addition to the men whose lives are thew known to be lost, we may state that on board the berg. Harriett, belonging to Messrs. Moak and Co., were known to have hese John Dad son, Captain Daniel Wise (mate), sad William Decline, eon of the captain. On board the bergs Good Demise, belong ing to Messrs.

It had only been built five or six years, and was surrounded with eighteen Dares of land to effect its isolation. The magazines stood behind the embankment, and had a wooden jetty projecting into the river to facilitate the load * and unloading of gunpowder. It must be distinctly understood that the magazines were solely for the storage of gunpowder, and not for its manufacture. Mesas. Hall bare • large factory at Faversham. The only points of in terest which remits for sight-seen are the sites of the booths lately occupied by Mr. Rayner (now dead), swede. toodent of the stores of the MINIM Hall, and Mr. Silver, the manager of the magazines of the Elterwater and Lowater Gunpowder Company, who so fortunately escaped with only • slight injury. The wall of Silver's hones amid the porch of Rayner's alone remained upright, and they served as landmarks to guide numbers on their way to the locality. All the rest are reduced to • shapeless roue of ruin, in which are to be seen jumbled up the planks of floors, pieces of bedstead'. &Wrens' toys, smashed kitchen and other grate., glam bottles (some of which were, Anne to say, unbroken), crockery, sea bricks.

In the same garden there wee a considerable quantity of potatoes black ened and half routed, but whether by the dame of the explosion or by a fun, which may bars taken place amongst the debris of the house, it is not possible to say. GUNPOWDER. AT POET/MO/TH.—The dockyard at Portsmouth and the town of Portaea are joined to the town of Portsmouth by the Ordnance-wharf and Amami Inside the walla of this establishment stand four large magazines, which at present, in addition to a large assortment of rockets and other missiles of war, contain upwards of 8.000 filled, or as they are expressively named in technical language, " live "shells, the majority of which are for B.inch guns. When these maga , sines were firet erected they were, no doubt, constructed with all possible care, and were hedged from all other buildings the companionship of which might be dangerous. Within the past 18 months, however. a change has taken place. The magazines sow stand within • few yards of the roaring furnaces of the boiler-home of • newly-erected royal factory for the repair of Armstrong guns and their carriages —a Woolwich on a diminutive scale. A narrow j cart-read and some 20 or 80 feet of this new factory only separate its boiler-house foresees from the four loaded maga zines. The only sane course to follow under such circum stances would be to remove the magazines and their &eget ous meting to some more mate and Isolated locality.
