TEM Conteranses d Wllllllll, have not repaid the three Sovereigns and their Courts the trouble, expense, and care they have caused them. The reviews were countermanded, the yrnnde clwaw was postponed, a few visits were interchanged, and then suddenly the great Potentates, arbiters of the destinies of the world, dispersed. The serious illness of the DOWAGER EMPRIAIR is the ostensible cause of this contretemps ; but there are not wanting other and more political reasons for the bursting of the bubble. At all events, it has burst ; and for that we cannot be too thankful. In truth, the days of Royal Conferences, when Princes, powerful and arrogant, could at such meetings make and unmake peoples and states, have poised away, never—let us pray—to return. The world has outgrown imperial swaddling clothes. Times have changed, and men with them. Only twenty years ago it was of surpassing import ance to the whole human race what Czar Nu-nous ar Kaiser FaA'cs•m thought or wished. But the Russian war taught us the real weakness of the Russian Empire, and by the Italian war the luxuriant and imposing locks of the Austrian Em pire were fairly shorn. Italy, asserting and achieving her independence and unity by popular outbursts, has introduced a ',Lew element of power into the European system, which, as the last week has shown, enables us to aleep tranquilly in our beds at nights while the Emperor of AVIITILIA en treats and the Cass listens. Francs, owing to the popular constitution of that new sort d des potism by which the second Empire lives, and moves, and has its being, is unable to consort and conspire with the brutal, heavy, lifeless, and unin telligent old despotisms, eager and willing to renew the task of the Holy Alliance, however much disposed thereto some of its more senseless and venal courtiers may be. The hopes and aspirations of Germany forbid Prussia to under mine its own position and forfeit its approaching prospects at home by treachery so signal to human progress. And England, prepared materially for any eukergvney, stands firm and immoveable in its policy of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of other States. From the first, then, the impor tance of the Conferences of Warsaw was, it menu to us, vastly exaggerated ; and they have broken up in admired disorder, without, it is believed, much concord, concurrence, or agreement, on the timely news of the indisposition of an old lady, whose illness was as serious before as after they began. Prince Gorrsculiores note. Prussia had indeed followed the example Of her by iFierd, not the Aimigies et Prance and adds ; she keeps her, '3Ediatee at Turin, ready to accredit him, as we shell soon accredit Sir Janis Renews, to the new King of ITALY. To Prussia any Austrian attack on Piedmont would be the greatest of European dangers ; for no Power is more interested than Prussia in a speedy settlement of the Italian ques tion. Thus unsupported, the rulers of Allstate and Russia had nothing to do but to mourn over the indomitable firmness of England in the support the gives to rational and temperate freedom. If they met to kiss and be friends they have perhaps succeeded, but beyond that nothing else, it is clear, has come of the assemblage. "They would if they could, " but they could not"—that is the simple tenth. And what a lesson fur Prussia does not the failure convey I What business had the Regent of a Constitutional State, the representative of the hopes and intelligence of Germany, the would be friend and ally of England, the censor of Aus trian reaction and stupidity, at Warsaw? True, it may be that the Regent of Panama, went thither resolved to "frustrate the knavish tricks" of his Imperial friends. But situated as Prairie is, exposed to Francs on the Rhenish frontier, liable in the event of war between Austria and Italy to be dragged into hostilities, with liberal Germany looking to her for guidance and dis cretion, herself the symbol of German unity, the time has come when Prussia, ea a Great Power, ought to have a clear, definite, and frank policy of her own, one article of which ought to be the pro motion of Italian liberty, another, freedom from Russian or Austrian dictation. But the failure of the Warsaw Conferences might well teach the other Princes this vulgar common-place lesson—not to show their teeth when they cannot bite. Europe has escaped from their dictation. Let them acknowledge the fact ; and, turning to their own domestic affairs, find at home employment for that activity which inde pendent and free people will not endure abroad. Russia and Austria have each great and worthy tasks in hand, that require in each case all their energies and strength. Let them reserve all their force and power for their own subjects and peoples, not waste them on nationalities which have grown too great sad powerful to tolerate their in terference. Thus we see, whether we look to Warsaw or to Paris, that the true policy of great States is that of which England under the present administration is the exponent to the world—non-intervention in countries vindicating the natural rights of man kind. Italy will, thank GOD, in a few days be united and independent. That unity and freedom have been achieved by the strength and resolution of the Italians themselves. Let their recognition come, then, freely and spontaneously from the other States of Europe ; let it not be interfered with, restricted, or controlled, or manipulated by any Congress, assemblies which rarely meet and part doing so little harm to the world as the Sove reigns have done in their latest meeting at Warsaw. Ten public have been familiarized of late years with several instances of mismanagement and band in joint-stock banks. It is now the turn of • private bank to carry distress into a whole district. Ilappfly, the business of MOMS. RORMIT Dams and Co., the insolvent bankers, of Shoreditch, is not of the dimensions which are usually attained in cases where • joint-stock capital is clubbed together ; yet the facts of their failure, so far as they have yet transpired, are of a sufficiently lamentable character. It is understood that the creditors, who claim in the aggregate 120,0001. or 130,0001., and are far the most part parsons of limited means, will be losers to the extent of quite the half of their claims. These bankers, before they could bring their affairs to such a pass, have, of course, been doing anything but banking bulimia. A banker who attends to the rules of his trade can not possibly lose all his own capital and half of his customers' balances. It will probably turn out to be the old story of throwing good money after bad —of foolishly persevering in advances to embarrassed customers, in stead of cutting the first louses short. The matter being now before the Bankruptcy Court, the de tails will soon be made public.

A letter from Warsaw dated Oct. 26 says : It is imposaible to mod any sews al the Clanfesemres, for the very good reason that there have not bees sny Con ferences at all, in the meaning muslly attached to the weed. Dssbtlsss, interviews have taken place between the diffe rent statesmen and minktem who amompeny their so►e. reigns. There have been visits and conversations, but no diplomatic conferences is *nem. Will there be any ? Many doubt it. All I eon say is, that Howie and Prussia are animated by the idea of conciliation. and the alarm en tertained el a new Holy Allianee is totally unfounded. A coalition spinet Fiance her been hinted at. Russia sod Prussia have met with a view of oandliating the interests and necessities of France with those of the other states On the 23rd there was a grand review at about 30,000 men cavalry, infantry, anii tin plain of Parrockaki. An hansom multitude sminerabled to witness it. The three sovereigns, with other rims. amved On the held about half-put twelve, in drosehakise—the two Emperors in the same carriage, the Prince Regent, and Grand Doke Heir-apparent in another. They then mounted their charger, and, followed by brilliant staff, pared the troops in review. In the even ing Prince Gortchakoff, the Viceroy of Poland, gm • splendid ball. There were about 600 guests, including many of the noblest nnmes of Poland. The Emperor of Austria and the heir-apparent of Burnie danced several tans, The Emperor Alexander and the Prince Regent did not there in the dancing. The three sovereigns walked about the rooms, making themeelyee as agreesbleas possible and I could not observe any trace of anxiety on either of their countenances. A magnificent supper was screed at halt-pastl2. The Emperor of Austria occupied the eviatre of the table of honour, having on his right the Princes Oortehakoff and Emperor Alelsoder ; on his left Connkas Trances Polack& and the Prince Regent. It is curious to observe the feeling of hatred which exists here towards Austria. The same feeling exists in Ger- many. When the Car left fit. Petersburg for Wasaw he is reported to have said to his aidesdeemp, so ato counterbalance the bed impression caused by the news of the intended interview with the Emperor of Austria, " Gentlemen, it has been said that I have spontaneously in vited the Emperor of Austria to Warsaw ; it as not so. The Emperor Francis Joseph requested me to meet him in that city, and I confined myself to the reply that I should be happy to receive him." I comet much for the truth of the anecdote : bat, Mall events, it faithfully represents the feelings of the Palmist array towards Aluitria. last night Court theatricals were given at the chamaiag little Salle de POrangerie. This beautiful little tissue, situate in the centre of the Lasiemki-park, is a perfect pm, and does Dot hold more than 1150 to SUO persona. The Sove reigns and Princes ceenpied the two front boxes, the in vited guests the other seven boxes and stalls. The Cor sere (ballet), by Madlliers, was given. While the official world was witnessing the ballet, the multitude threnged the lahenkilark, which was illuminated like fairyland. P.S. I re-open my letter to add, that a sudden change has taken place in the plans of the Soy*. reigns. The hunting party which was to hare taken place on Saturday at Skierniewice is countermanded. To morrow morning the Emperor of Austria and the Prince Regent will leave for their respective capitals. At 5 pan. the Emperor Alexander will start direct for St. Petersburg. Alarming news respecting the health of the Dowager Em prese has caused this sudden break-up. And what was it that the three Princes met at the capital of mangled Poland to dot Not to gratify Russia in any covert hostility which she may still indulge in against England. Of that the presence of the Prince Regent of PIMA! A, the host so lately of Queen Vienna,. atCoblents, is the best assurance we can have. For whatever else may be doubtful about the Court of Berlin, that it regards England as its best friend admits of no doubt or question. Was it, then, to arrest the dangerous and am bitious designs of France in Europe 1 A very lawful and legitimate object, it may be, if designs dangerous to Europe are really entertained by the Emperor of the Faxxon, but an object little likely to be obtained by royal and imperial con spiracies against human freedom, by reviving the Holy Alliance, by plans and schemes of reels- tante on paper, by protocols or trey. ties. If France has to be checked and restrained in a guilty career of dangerous am bition, the best mode of restraining and checking France is silently to prepare for resistance by force of anns. Combinations and confederacies against France by reactionary Princes are far more dan gerous than any designs France may entertain against Europe ; for they give France an excellent cause of complaint, a true point of departure iu a crusade against Europe, a lever for appealing to the democratic passions and rousing that great revolutionary spirit which once before bore her almost to universal dominion. No : Conferences at Warsaw and agreements of Czars, Kaisers, and Prince Regents are not the way to resist France. The easiest and readiest mode of averting danger is to be well prepared to meet and to chastise ag gressive. A few hundred thousand well-armed and well-trained troops on the Rhine frontier, sup ported by all the s►illed inventions of modern warfare, not consultations and deliberations in the ill-choose capital of Poland, are the true remedy for that disease. Wu it then to resolve that Italy shall not be independent, free, and united, that the three Princes met at Warsaw I Viliat impotent infatu ation 1 Why, the last obstacle to that indepen dence, unity, and freedom, was tumbling to pieces at Naples ere they assembled ; on the very day of their meeting the bead of the French Empire hail proclaimed to Europe his conversion to the neces sity, which had grown to be irresistible, of a great Italian kingdom. Eients in the great cause of liberty march too rapidly for these cumbrous, dila tory meetings of despotic princes. Neither, it is Amite* were the "tirtithers three" themselves in miss as the subject et Italy. Prussia, it is tree, bad read Sardinia a lecture on international law for invading Naples, wholly overlooking, however, as is professorial wont, the prac tical questions involved in the actual condi tion of Italy. But Thur‘ , in a 3 little amenteil England to the extreme said viuleut principles of discussion respecting the relative advantages and disadvantages of the private and joint -stock bank ing systems. It must be admitted that the ex perience of the present instance is likely to in crease public confidence in the latter class of esta blishments. When a joint-stock bank meets with a serious reverse or fails, the loss, perhaps ruin, falls to the lot of the shareholders ; it is strange if the general body of creditors do not ultimately get the full amount due to them ; or, in the worst case imaginable, such as that of the Royal British Bank, • very large dividend. Again, we Lave seen the Union Bank of London subjected to a shake which would probably have thrown down the best esteemed private bank in the eountry ; yet it emerged from i.a difficulty with credit scarcely impaired, simply owing to the public confi dence in the perfect solvency of the co-partnery. But Mews. DIMES sad Co.'s case shows that, when private banks go wrong, a heavy loss to the creditors is certain. The force of this consideration will probably be felt painfully by the depositors in the failed Shoreditch bank when they see its place taken by • branch of the London and Connty Rank, and reflect how much better they would have fared had their claim been en dorsed by • numerous and respectable body of proprietors. Let us not be unfair, however, to the numerous well-managed private banks which still ezat amongst us. The lesson to be drawn from Mesas. DAVTIIIe lamentable failure is that no private banks but those of acknowledged character and known resources deserve implicit confidence.

PARIS, SUNDAT. Acoording to instructions received from Count Rechberg, Prince Metternich has explained to M. Thonveuel the Austrian policy. This explanation contains four points : 1. The interior policy of every state being in timately connected with its exterior policy, Austria will fulfil with sincerity the reforms announced by the Dipiest of the 20th October. 2. Notwithstanding the complications in Italy, Austria will maintain her line of defensive policy. The present armaments and concentration of troops in Venetia have no other object than that of re palling amy attack. 3. Austria will not abandon the system of non intervention. t Austria considers that the assembling of a Congress would not bring about a practical solution of the Italian question, unless the Great Powers agree beforehand on a common programme, of which, howeler, there is little likelihood. 4,\ 4 I a . CTOBE .p 'REM FROM PAttlb. (moat ous ovng tiossairamuer.) NSW, BeseAT The extraordinary news that Admiral Le Barbier de Tinan has orders not only to ignore the blockade of Gaeta, but to oppose by force any attack upon the place by an Italian squadron, is published by a French journal which pawns for an authority in naval matters—the SentineUe Toulannaise. The Opinion Nationals is "greatly astonished" at this intelligence, which, it remarks, is very inconsistent with the principle of non-intervention, and stands in great need of confirmation. The telegraphic summary of Lord Palmerston's speech at Leeds being imperfect, gave rise yester day to some expreasions of disappointment in the liberal press. But now that the full report has arrived, it is admitted that though the premier made no important political revelations, he very distinctly expressed the sympathies of the English government with the Italian revolution. The Opinion Nationale, referring to the grounds put forward by Prim* Gortchakoff for the recall of the Russian .Ambassador from Turin, says : Russia has not always ben so particular about questions of law—witness Sweden, Poland, and Turkey. What Ronnie calls the " law of nations" in this use is in reality nothing but the claims of the sovereign who reigns at Rome, and of him who in still 6uppoostl to reign at Gaeta. But we live in an age hostile to sophisms and Actions, and the public opinion of all Europe giving its final judgment on Italian affairs, holds that the law of nations is with the Sie.ilians and Neapolitans who have risen to shake off the rigours of an intolerable despotism. May the law of nations never experience a worse contempt. _ _ A Turin letter in the Pressc tends to confirm the assertion made a few days since by the Opinion Nationale, that the Austrian invasion of Italy will be commenced by way of Modena. The deposed duke, who has contrived to get his " army" conti nually talked about, means, it is said, to begin the war on his own account, he being a prince not in any way bound by the engagements of Villafranca and Zurich, but one, on the contrary, whose rights were " reeervel." The Piedmonteee will of course oppose his progress, and then Austria will come to his assistance, not as an invader, but as the chant ' pion of order and plighted faith, the defender of I the rights of dynasties in general, and of the stipu lations of Villafranca in particular. The Count Cntrofiano, special envoy of Francis 11., passed through Paris on Thursday in hot baste or Warsaw, where unfortunately he will arrive too late. It is said that he has been allowed a month for the fulfilment of his mission. It is scarcely I likely that the power of his master, such as it is, will last so long. A new pamphlet by M.

A private letter from the city of Mexico states that the conducts which left Guanajuato on the Ist ultimo with 1,200,000 dole., was taken by Santos Dsgollado, general in chief of the liberal forces. Her Britannic Majesty's Consuls in Mexico, San Luis, and Guanajuato went to Santos Degollado, in Lagos, to obtain restitution of the money, but failed, the general stating that he intended to make use of it to take the town of Guadalajara, which city was defended by Severe Castillo, general of the conservative or priest party. He states his inten tion to refund the money, when he has taken Guadalajara, with the sales of the church pro perty. The president of the liberal government bad sent an order to Degollado to restore the money, which was not respected. Business in Mexico continues very dull. No goods can be sent into the interior for the robbers who infest the roads. Travellers coming down front Mexico to Vera Cruz are generally stopped four or five times during the journey. The West India Islands are generally healthy. At Trinidad the weather has been very suitable and of surprising regularity. The crops were progressing most favourably. At Jamaica the seasons have set in generally, and are exceedingly favourable to agricultural ope rations ; the canes in the ground are in first rate order, and will yield abundantly ; in many districts the planters were rejoicing at the prospects of large crops. Within the fortnight two wrecks occurred in the vicinity of the island. The brigantine Velo city, bound for Halifax, foundered and became a total wreck, the captain and crew saved. The schooner Chamois, bound for Inapt, was wrecked off Folly point near the east end of the island, and all hands excepting one drowned. In consequence of some serious disturbance at Belize a detachment of the 2nd West India Regiment was despatched for Honduras on the 6th. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, SATUIDAT. PARIS, SATURDAY.

There, as in the more immediate Oape colony, an enthusiastic recep tion greeted him everywhere—Kafirs, Hottentots, Tam bookies, Zulus, Fingoes, Manteeea, and Benda; mustered in ]urge numbers along his road and vied in giving utterance to an enthusiastic welcome to him with the Boers and Eng lish colonists. The slight fall in Itentes occasioned by the rumour of the ultimatum yesterday, if not counter balanced by a riso to-day, is at least arrested. Prices are this evening perfectly stationary.

The following is an amusing incident from one of those reception scenes in Altwal North described by a colonial paper : _ _ "A hub; farther on the Prince came to where the foot• men from the Native Reserve were drawn up on each side of the road, them dressed in European clothes being on one side, while the more savage looking ones in the native war dress kept the other side. The former, as the Prime end his party pissed, all bowed to the ground shouting out their greeting, while the line of savages gave a simultaneous shudder and shrunk behind their shields, against which they rattled their bundles of assegais. The gesture was a very horrid one, but was meant for a very respectful and dutiful greet ing, and the Prince bowed from one side to the other as if they had been so many ladles and gentlemen in Hyde•park. Swaddle, the paramount chief of the (hike. taibes, with Mr. Brownlee, resident agent, a retinue of the chief's coun sellors, and the Reo Tyo Semi, accompanied Prince Alfred in the Euryalua from the frontier to Cape Town.

" The inauguration of the Breakwater came off on the 17th of September, his royal highness tilting the brat load of stone for the work into the sea, the elegant aad richly chased trigger used for the occasion being presented to the Prince.

The Enryslue, with his royal highness on board, left Table bay for England Sept. 19 ; St. Helena, October 1; Ascension, October 4, to touch at Sierra Leone and the Cape de Verdi. No naval or military changes worth mentioning had occurred during the month. Admiral Keppel was still on his eastern cruise. The Forte was about to sail for rialdaubs Bay for ball practice.
