MON WATILD AT LONDON BILIDOL Tits DAT —Nandi& I& Arisrsooa, Sd rid To-Do•Do.—)iontia& ADdraoce, 61%. s7a. LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 6. THE .tUtllllin Excuaiou Season rarely passes over a ithout a hatch of serious railway acci dents. But we rarely have to record one bi all respects so disastrous, accompanied with such a sacrifice of life, and such extensive injuries, as that which occurred near Helnahore, about eighteen miles from Manchester, early on Tuesday morning last. Ten persons were killed on the spot ; while upwards of fifty received injuries so serious, in the shape of broken limbs, fractures simple or compound, con tusions, and dislocations, as to require immediate medical attendance. The main facts of this ter rible calamity may be soon told. There was a fete at the Bellevue Gardens, near Manchester, on Monday, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail way Company provided three excursion trains to convey the holiday-keepers from Colne and the iutermetliate stations to .Manchester. The three trains, each carrying about a thousand passengers, returned from the Manchester station one after the other about eleven o'cli - ek on Monday nigiit. The first reached its destination iii safety, and the second had accomplished the greater part of the journey without anything occurring to excite suspicion or alarm. The pace of a crowded excursion train is generally slow, and this unfortunate train, con sisting of more than twenty carriages, and carry ing a thousand passengers, reached Helinshore about a quarter to one on Tuesday miming. This station is situated near the top of a steep incline, extending some miles towards Manchester. Here the great body of the carriages became detached from the engine and a few immediately behind it, by the sudden breaking of the coupling chains of a carriage belonging to another company and bor rowed for the occasion. Accounts differ as to whether the chain was broken by the rebound of the buffer springs when the train stopped, or by the sudden tug on the connecting links when the engine began to move again. But in either case I subsequent examination proves that the imme diate cause of the fracture, and therefore of the accident, was the bad state of the chain, the iron of the broken link being weak, worn, and obviously defective. Being on 1 an incline, the detached carriages began at once to roll backwards, at first slowly, but soon, impelled by their own weight, with greater rapi dity. It would seem to be a simple and easy matter to stop a lute of carriages when they first begin to move in this way ; and had there wily been a sufficient amount of break power in the train it would have been so. Unfortunately, however, the train was only provided with two breaks, of which only one was available. According to the edictal accounts both guards were out of the train—iii other words, away from their poets— when the carriages began to move. One jumped in immediately, and applied his break ; but the other, being engaged with the passengers who had alighted, was unable to follow his example. The single break was utterly useless, and the detached train was soon rolling rapidly down the gradient to meet the third excursion train, which, having left Manchester soon after the second, and with a lighter load, was close behind. The fatal colli sion took place about a quarter of a rink, from the fielmsliore station. The driver of the third train, on reaclung the curve of a cutting near that point, saw the carriages approaching, and immediately reversed the engine and applied the break. Bat it was too late, and he had only just time to lay duet' on the bed of the engine when the crash came, covering engine and tender with the w te. k of wreuched iron and splintered wood. The three foremost carriages were thrown into the air, and fell with their mangled occupants 011 th• embankment. " Fragments of the car •• nag•-c w ere scattered ill every direction, the roof " of one being thrown over the engine of the " third train. The iron work of the carriages " was heitt like so lunch line wire, and the " springs snapped like glass. The dead and the ** dyu.•g were beneath the the latter " tuni„ling their agonising cries with those " who were crushed and jammed between, " the seats, under the wheels, and ill other " equally dangerous positions." Fortunately it was a moonlight night, and, watch fires being speedily lighted along the line, no time was lust in extricating those who still survived from the crush ing reins of the wreck. Many hours, however, elapseit before all the dead were removed and the inultitade of living sufferers n•lieved. The !irst thing that strikes us in this terrible catasto-:die is the simple nature of the accident, and t'.- ease with which it might have been avoi•le.! !loathe cammonest precautions against such an °cr.!' rent.° levee taken. It is mouniful to think that for culpable negligence this grievous hu g of life aiid injury of limb, with all the family deso- Lition cued individual suffering it has produced, might ki11..• been avoided. A little ordinary fore sig!it gad vigilance would have prevented the a•eideut by which the carriages were detached, or Il THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1860. would have effectually counteracted its injurious results. The immediate mem of the sieceilent were plain enough—the weakness of tho coupling chains in the borrowed carriages and the want of proper break-power in the train. Either of these , fauns alone would have been insufficient to produce the result Had the shackling irons been in good condition the carriages would never have become detached, and had the break-power been sufficient their backward movement would have been arrested at once. The carriages could have been stopped close to the station instead of being allowed to roll helplessly down the incline. But the train bong long and heavy, the coupling chains weak, and the break-power small, there was every chance of an accident if it came to a stand on a steep incline. Just such another accident, indeed, happened, from precisely the same causes and with very similar results, two years ago, in the case of two excursion trains re turning about the same time from Wolverhampton to Worcester. The Manchester Guardian recalls the account of what happened : " Each train called "at all stations, and all went well with the first " until its arrival at Round Osk, which took place " about five minutes past 8 ; when, either just " before the train arrived at the station, which is " situated on • steep incline, or when it was put " in motion to leave the station, twelve or thirteen "of the last carriages became detached from " the former part of the train by the breaking of " the couplinse of two of the carriages, and " rolled back down the incline towards Brettal " Lane, with ever-increasing velocity. The guard, " who occupied the van at the extremity of the " train, applied his break with all the force of " which it was capable ; but its power was initial " tient to check the retrograde motion of the car " riages, which soon attained a very high rate of " speed. On arrival at Bug Hole, a little " more than half-way to Brettal Lane, they " dashed into the second excursion train, which, " as before elated, was despatched from Worcester " only fifteen minutes after the first ; and, being " a lighter train, naturally gained upon it dur " ing the journey." It cannot, therefore, be said that the tragedy of Tuesday morn ing was the result of accidental circum stances which no foresight could have anticipated or prevented. It arose from a culpable neglect in providing the commonest essentials of safety in railway travelling. The want of proper break power has been the cause of almost numberless disasters, and as such has been officially com plained of again and again by government in spectors and local engineers. In the present case we cannot but feel that the ultimate cause of both the mechanical defects which produced this calamity is to be found in the multipli cation of excursion trains. Railway companies are of course anxious to make hay while the sun shines, and during the excursion season they are tempted to multiply extra trains beyond the resources at their command. This is the root of the evil. In the present case, for example, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, not having carriages enough of its own for the three excursion trains, engaged some of " the old yellow "painted carriages of the Chester and Bir " kenhead Railway." These carriages, we are told, " were made for light traffic only, and to run "on a line which has no gradients." They would thus be wholly unfit at any time to beer the strain of a heavy train, or a steep incline. But the case was even worse on Tuesday, for, being old, the iron-work of these carriages was in • bad state, the coupling-chains being specially defective. The same may be said with regard to the absence of break-power. The company evidently had not breaks or guards sufficient for so many extra trains. And nothing can well he more dangerous in railway travelling than the want of • sufficient number of breaks to • long train. It would be churlish to object to excursion trains altogether. But no company ought to run more than they can fairly equip with all that is necessary for safe travelling. They may swell their gains by extra train to any extent they please within theme limits, but they must sot be allowed to speculate in human life. ebe Court. BALMORAL, Si,?. 4.

FRANCE, PARIS, TIUMADAT. The Moniker of to-day priblialiee the following telegram, dated " ORI.:NOBLE, Seri. 5. " Their Majesties have arrived here, and were received with enthusiasm. " On their way from Chambery to Grenoble' they were cheered by the country people. " The Bishop of Grenoble, in addressing their Majesties, said :—‘ It is a great consolation to see that wherever there exists a just and holy cause the banner of France is raised to support or to avenge it.' The Bishop further said that the armies of the Emperor were serving the sacred interests of Christian civilisation in the far East, that they maintain the chief of the church on the throne which they have established, and the security of which is now so menaced ; they also revenge in Syria the outrages against religion and humanity." THE INSURRECTION IN NAPLES. NAPLES, Bum 4 (viA Genus). . _ . , An insurrection has broken out at Sala, where the government of King Victor Emmanuel has been proclaimed. Four thousand men, under the command of General Tttrr, have disembarked at Sapri. Garibaldi, who was last at Palmi, is now march ing upon Salerno, being supported on the right wing by General Coeenz. General Viglia has been appointed Commander of the Army of Naples, and General Dusanjeto Commander of the National Guard. TURIN, THURSDAY. It is positively stated that there are at present not more than three battalions of Sardinian troops in the vessels lying in the roadstead at Naples. It is stated that this number of troops will suffice to maintain order at Naples after the departure of the young King. _ _ MADRID, Styr. 5. The Queen of Spain has offered the King of Naples a refuge in Spain, in the event of his leaving his states. This offer has been accepted by King Francis 11. AUSTRIA AND N kPLES. VIENNA, THUIPDAT. Prince Metternich having been present on Saturday last at the Cabinet Council at Schoen brunn, presided over by the Emperor, reports have since then been current that the prince would be the future Minister for Foreign Affairs. These reports are without any foundation. The adjournment of the plenary sitting of the Reichsrath to the 10th instant was made by reason of the Hungarian and Italian members having claimed a translation of the two reports of the committee from the German into the Hun garian and Italian languages. TRIESTE, TRUIVIDAY. Count Szecheny, the Austrian ambassador at Naples, has not returned to Vienna, as stated by the Austrian journals. His instructions are to re main at his post until King Francis H. should quit his states and embark on an Austrian war steamers Should the King of Naples retire to Trieste, Count Szecheny would accompany him. In the event of his Majesty embarking on board a Spanish vessel, the Austrian squadron has orders to return here immediately. EXPRESS FROM. PARIS. trios one ows coaassrormor.) PARIS, W6IIIIIIIMAT The news given by the Constirqitionviel, on the strength of its own correspondence from Cologne, that the French expedition in Syria will soon be reinforced by contingents from Prussia and Russia, that the Prussian troops, 6,000 in number, are to go by rail to Trieste, where they will be embarked' , in vessels chartered for the purpose, and that the Russian troops are to sail from Odessa and Beyrout on board vessels of their own nation, is contra dicted by the Paye and Patric, which treat it as a false rumour circulated by "several foreign journals." The Patrie adds that the two powers in question are altogether in accord with France as to the course to be taken in Syria, and that the force already sent by France is abundantly suffi cient for the fulfilment of the " civilising mission which France has taken upon herself with the sym pathetic assent of Europe." The two semi-official evening journals also deny in nearly identical terms a rumour that the Aus trian squadron left Beyrout in consequence of a misunderstanding with France. They admit, how ever, the fact that au Austrian squadron was there and has gone ; but they say the reason is that the ships are wanted in the Adriatic in consequence of the present state of Italy. The import of the above news, which augurs war between Austria and Italy, is enhanced by a report that 35,000 Austrian troops have just re ceived orders to leave Vienna for Trieste. I am informed that a diplomatic note has this day been sent from Paris to Switzerland on the subject of the outrage committed at Geneva on French subjects carrying a flag to Thonon. On the news of the day, that the King of Naples has finally mado up his mind to resist Garibaldi in arms, the Opinion Nationa le says : We do not deny that there is something chivalious in this resolution, but Francis 11. is about to fight for fighting's sake. The only possible result of a battle will be the killing and wounding of some thousand men for no purpose whatever. It would have been more generous in the son of Ferdinand 11. to have voluntarily given np a country which will not have him, than to exact, after the manner of the Aahantee kings, a bath of blood for his funeral. It is said in Paris this evening that among the desperate measures resorted to by the King of Naples in tairentio, he has sent an aide-de-camp to Savoy, with an autograph letter to the Emperor Napoleon. The Bourse was more animated than yesterday, and it was at one time thought that a rise would have been realised ; but towards the close sales predominated, and the Route left off, with a fall of lbc. and 100., at 68fr. and 67fr. 96c. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50e. Railways were from Ifr.26e. to 2fr. 50c. lower. THE REVOLUTION IN NAPLES. (now oox owx OORILEOPONDINT.) NAPLES, Accarr 29. A gentleman just arrived from the Calabriaa says :—On entering many of the towns en route I was taken to visit sonic of the handsome villas and palaces in the environs. But I cannot tell you how I was struck with the contrast between the appearance of these buildings and the signs of poverty and squalor which existed within. Hand some picture frames hung on the walls, with the pictures out or torn and neglected ' • well educated and well-born people, if not half -d re ssed, were ill dressed. I inquired, he said, what was the meaning of these incongruities 1 " The inhabi tants of these houses, and thousands of others whom yea do not see, were amongst the atiendibili," was the reply. " They durst not venture out for fear of attracting notice ; they were not allowed to enter public offices ; they were condemned to the life of oysters—that is, to a life of fixity and inaction, and they went to ruin." Oh, how many families are there in the Two Sicilies who have been brought to ruin by the same 11269.113 ! It is the disuse of the law of the atteadibili which amounts fur the crowds of new faces and costumes whiO• ono meets with at every step, and I can imagine few things more interesting at the present moment than to walk through the streets of Naples with a person well up in faces. "That gentleman in the carriage with grey hair is A— , ' said my fides Achates, last night ; " he was imprisoned in the Vicsri a , and condemned to the galleys ; and that one, " pointing to another well-dressed gentle manly person, "is —, who dragged the chain in the Ergiuitolo of for six years. We visited a friend later iu the evening, and I was presented to the Duke —, one of Nature's noblemen, for a handsomer man I never saw. "He was a companion of Poerio in the Vioaria," whispered my friend, "during the whole time of his confinement." To com plete the picture, my &hut Achates, and others, who have assisted me in finding intelligence for upwards of six years, with a constancy and a disinterestedness which only proved their patriotism, were in their own persons protests against the in iquitous system of government which is now about to receive its coup de peke. They visited me by night, and not without first examining the doors • we never went down stairs together, or recognise d each other in the streets. We knew each other by assumed names, and though all this was only an annoyance and source of irritation to an English man, judge what it must have been to men whose liberties and lives were in the balance. I cannot help recurring to the past at times ; cir cumstances have now forced it upon me, and per haps it is well to do so, to explain what sober men might call the aberrations of the people. They have been driven mad by oppression, and it will take time to restore the public mind to its just and even balance. During the evening bulletins were handed about from the seat of war, and it was curious to Noe the eagerness with which they were almost fought for. One, dated the 2.3 th, from Pahni, says : Our march I. a triumph . ; the people are a frenzy ; the royal troops disband of themseb Another despatch says that in the column of General Gallotti just returned from Reggio,. out of 1,042 soldiers and 34 officers, 235 were disarmed. They had half a battery of artillery, without carriages or animals, and with but two officers and G 3 soldiers. In the train, one officer returned and 63 soldiers dismounted • seven officers isolated, nine officers and 360 soldiers wounded and sick. The Oth of the line, which was embarked at Paolo to be landed at Pizzo, mutinied on its arrival and returned to Naples on the evening of the 27th, by the ViUe de Lyon. The Chasseurs of the 14th Battalion, under the pretence that General Briganti had betrayed them, shot him. Thu districts of Cauipagna and of Sala are in open revolt. In short, such is the state of almost the whole of the country, and for the moment nothing will satisfy the desires of the people but the arrival of Garibaldi. You will observe that in the official despatches from Messina, which I sent you yester day, there is mention made of troops being em barked for some point near Naples. I fouud last night that the Neapolitans are aware of the inten tion, and have fixed upon Mandragora, near Gaeta, as the point. Certain it is that troops left in that direction last night by steamer. It will have oc curred to you doubtless to remark the promptitude with which the Sardinian constitution and Victor Emmanuel have been proclaimed. Amongst other papers lying on my table is an order of the day from the Baron Nicotera to the Pith Brigade. It is dated Castel Peaoi, five miles from Florence. 1 have a special interest in pub-1 lishing it, for the last time I saw him was behind the prison bars at Salerno, where he was waiting sentence of death. I saw him daily through the whole of that important trial, and his honourable and gene row; conduct will never be forgotten by me, or by otbeas who were present. He advocates, I regret to say, extreme, that is to Ray republican picas, if 1 do not misrepresent him, and the bulls or despatch is thatwhich is used by the lliaiszinians in Naples. COMITAI'O-4210X10 - UNITARIA NAPOLETANA. Officers and soldiers (it says), behold your standard, which for so many yearn has been borne by hundreds of martyrs, by thousands who lie buried in the most horrible secret places. It is the standard which makes the hearts of 14 millions of our brothers beat high, and frightens the stranger and the tyrants at home. In the centre you read two words, which are our programme—Unity and Liberty ; unity to be great—liberty as a compensation for the heroic efforts of a people, and to enable them to become men, and cease, once and for ever, to be a herd of vile beasts. Both the one and the other will we defend so long as a drop of blood remains in our veins ; for it would be the play of children to have the one without the other—a yet larger prison allowed to the slaves. I give our only flag to the entire brigade, that you may be yet more jealous of its safety. You, lam sure, will defend it as a father defends his only eon. In it resides the salvation of the country, your glory. To day I de posit it in your hands, to-morrow you will show it to a frightened enemy, and to a people who sigh for it. Brigadier of a Column, G. NICOTERA. Villa Castel Piroci, August 12, 1860. Posfeciurr. There is a strong desire to induce the King to give up his hopeless cause and retire before Gari baldi appears, in order to save the shedding of blood. A petition, numerously signed, is talked of, and the Count of Syracuse is said to be the prime promoter of the move. His Majesty has been posi tively counselled by Austria to remain till the last, and there appears to be every probability of his doing so. A brutal case has just occurred at Salerno, which has been brought before the attention of the govern ment by M. Menricoffa, the Swiss consul. A Swiss was arrested a few days since by an officer of the foreign regiment at Salerno on suspicion of being a spy. He was bound hand and foot, and on the following morning he received 100 blows with a stick, besides having been interrogated. The punishment was most brutal and illegal, and M. Menricoffa has demanded the immediate degrada tion and trial of the officer. CANADA. ARRIVAL OP THE ANGLO-SAXON. LIVERPOOL, WEDNEADAY. The screw steamship Anglo-Saxon, Capt. Ballan tyne, which touched at Londonderry yesterday, arrived here this morning. The Anglo-Saxon passed the following steamers : On the 27th, the Nova Scotian ; 30th, the Pales tine ; 2nd inst., the Bohemian ; all henoe for Que bec ; and on the 3rd, the John Bell, from Glasgow for Quebec. The Canadian journals are filled with graphic details of the progress of the Prince of Wales, but there is little of importance additional to that con tained in the New York papers received by the Adriatic and in the telegram yesterday from Lon donderry. The Quebec timber market was without anima tion. The bulk of the timber bad reached Quebec, and it was supposed that the quantity would fall short of the estimate made iu the whiff. Charters had been made for Liverpool at 325. 9d. to 335. ed.; and to London 51. 17s. ed. was paid for bright deals, and Si, for floated. TURKEY AND SYRIA. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aim 29 (vii Mandlleo).

Austria is said to have offered to angst the Porte In the event of an outbreak in Bosnia. It is again asserted that Christiana have been massacred at Baalbeck Bekaa, Cofarbaram, and in the villages near St. Jean d'Acre. Some anxiety is manifested by the Christians in Palestine. Constantinople is tranquil, but armed. Monte negrins arrive there daily. THE UNITED STATES. QUEENSTOWN, THURSDAY.

She brings 172 passengers and 909,000 dole. in specie. Her advice@ have been anticipated. GARIBALDI'S LANDING IN CALABRIA. We have been favoured with the following extract of • letter from an officer commanding ono of Garibaldi's ships. It is dated from the Coast of Calabria, August 26 : " I wr;te to you frau the coast of Naples, where I have preceded my comrades by a few days (several of whom are coming by land and others by steamer), to cunduct offleets and about 120 Neapolitan prisoners. I was fortu nate enough to be of great assistance at the lauding in Calabria, in the following manner. Arrived at Taormina, after haviog left Palermo with 400 men and having gone all round Sicily in order to deceive the cruisers, I took oa board MO more, together with Garibaldi, and on the 18th, at 10h. 20m. p.m., I left Taormina, in company with the Transatlantic Company's steamer Torino, which had upwards of MO men on board, and at 2 cm. of the 19th I dropped anchor near Yikto, between theCapodell' Arad and the Cape of Bpartivento. This would have been a mint fortunate affair had not the Torino unluckily run a-ground, and uotwith standiug our moot strenuous efforts for six hours to get her off, I was compelled, seeing nothing could be amom plialied, and owing to want of teals, to abandon her. It was a very gond thing that I did leave her, as half-an-hour afterwards I fell in with two Neapolitan frigate; the Fulmivante and the Palermo, and had I remained it is pro- bable I should have met with the same treatment as the Torino, viz., that of being cannonaded and burnt. A million and a-half gone to the devil ! Never mind. Let Italy bocorue • free and united country, and she will pay all. As for myself, I was pulled up by the two frigates, who came to my fisak and asked me several questions, which I answered in the usual way of " 1 dec'tunderstatid." After a little while, they retired, and I entered quite safely into Messina. On the 21st, being at the lighthouse, with several of our steamer; we were heavily cannonaded by the forta of Scylla, Camillo, and Paso, as well as by the first clams screw frigate the Burbone, and the corvette Taneredi. I, as usual, though very much exposed, was not touched, but • spent ball struck the Aberdeen, and another cut a rope of the Ferret. The night of the 21st we embarked as many people as we could, said sailed without I ights from the coast of Sicily, and twenty minutes after we all dropped anchor off that of Calabria, except the Velore, which ran ashore. General Sided sent to me to aid in getting her off again, but I answered him that I could not render him such aristanoe, as I was embarrassed with the 100 men I had on board, and conse quently could nut execute the required nutomuvre. I then occupied myself with the disembarkation, which was accomplished in lens than two hours, with my bade alums.

The New York Erening Post mays that the people of the Canada., while loyal to the British throne, are not content to remain for ever mere colonists, with no chance of imperial dignities : they don't wish to be called for ever Canadians, New Brunsivickera, Nova &Wane, Prince Ed ward's Islanders, Newfoundlanders, &c.; but they wish to have a national character. The Post adds :—" We have reasok to suppise that one of the ends proposed by this visit of the Queen's eldest son to Canada will be to prepare a suitable response to these aspirations, and that it will be forthcoming very soon after the return of the royal party to England. If we may judge from such information as has already transpired some new name will be given to the entire British American states, and they will be placed under the rule of the young gentleman whom they are now receiving with so much attention, with the title and power of a viceroy. That something of this kind is iu contemplation there can be no doubt. If this tour were made simply for educational purposes, like his trip to the states of the continent, and to various parts of the British Islands, he would not be permitted to receive greater or more costly attentions from the Queen's subjects then lie received then : whereas he is received in Canada as the im mediate representative of the sovereign, the same etiquette and homage being rigorously required in ell cases, he clone being indulged with the freedom of intercourse which Euro peon sovereigns usually part with on mounting the throne. We may, therefore, reasonably expect, as one of the fruits of this visit, the creation of lied River into a colony, and then the furmatiou of a united confederacy, extending from Canada on the east to British Columbia on the west, com posed of *ix or eight independent state sovereignties, united under a single vice. regal federal head, to Le as nearly inde pendent as can be made to consist with the Queen's supre macy." LETTER PROM THE POPE. The Freeman's Journal of yesterday publishes the following translation of a letter addressed by his Holi ness the Pope to the Rev. Dr. Ryan, catholic bishop of Limerick, in reference to the contribution* to the Papal fund in his diocese : " Venerable Brother,—llealth and apostolic benediction. What and how great is your faith, piety, and reverence, and these of your clergy and faithful people, towards us and this chair of Peter, we have known, certainly with no slight pleasure, from other letters given to us in the name of the same clergy and people. Since, in the same letters, you declared your and your clergy and people's most latter sorrow, grief, and indig nation on account of the truly iniquitous and sa crilegious attempts against our civil principality, and that of this apostolic see, and the patrimony of Waded Peter, undertaken by the same awe, who, being the worst encodes of the catholic church, and of the same see, and the foes of all justice, do not hesitate to trample on all laws, human sad divine ; which striking manifestation, en your part, slid that of your flock, certainly worthy of all ', fl a w , were most grateful to us, and brought on the highest connotation in the midst of our greatest strains ; and we wish ardently that you may manifest this, in our name, to those faithful people, and make them aware of our paternal love towards them. But now we behold a new testimony of your audyotw clergy soil people's singular love and seal towards us in your letter dated the 4th day of this month, as you sent to us the gift which the faithful of your diocese, with yourself, had wished to offer to us to alleviate our necessities. Wherefore, whilst we axprcas to you the feeling of our meet grateful mind, we entreat of you that you offer that clergy and people, in our name, and in the amplest terms, the thanks which are due to them, and do not cease with your entire clergy and faithful people to Four forth most fervent prayers to Cod, that lie may drive away so grad and so dreadful a tempest, and watch His Holy Church from so many wild soil great calamities and adore it with new and more splendid triumphs, said help and console us in all our tribulation. We are convinced that you, venerable brother, according to your dis tinguiehed piety and episcopal teal, will leave nothing un tried in this on great iniquity of times, awl so meat war egniumt our divine religion, by which you may defend stre nuously with still greater zed the cause of that religion, and wisely and prudently watch for the adety of your fleck, and detect the frauds of enemies, refute ermre, and repress and crush attache.

Plea P.l'., When a catastrophe appears on the point of pre cipitating the last of the Bourbons from the throne of Naples (says Ordignani), no one knows on what bases the parliament will be organised, but some idea may be formed of the state of public feeling by the list of candidates which the union committee Las recommended to the choice of the elector, of the Two Sicilies. There may be semi in this list the names of Carlo Poetic. and nine other members of the Ssrdinian Chamber ; Joseph Ricciardi and 35ernigrants recently returned to Naples ; Luigi Judelli. a political pi i loner ; 21 chiefs of the Neapolitan liberal party, and four officers of Garibaldi's army. In this list of 167 names are also included some liberal patricians, and superior officers of the Neapolitan army and navy, but all of liberal opinions.

Since the arrival of the Prince of Wales in the British provinces his manner of conducting himself, uu.lee circumstances and amongst a population so different fu el those to which he has been accustomed, has been curiously and attentively scrutinised. It was expected that the loyalty of the colonial subjects of his illustrious mother would undergo some severe checks from the chilling re. strictions and formalities by which the young Prince scoald be surrounded. With their dcniorratic and half repel+ an tendencies, such dampers on their hospitable inclinations would soon have extinguished the cordial feeling.. by which they were animated. Fortunately the young Prince, himself too young to discriminate am to the c o urse of ~41 . duct that best befitted him on this unexplored ground, had been entrusted to disaeet and experienced guardianship. Although the natural and easy manner in which he has ac.. commodatetl himself to the circumstances in which lie has been placed has been set down to the genial and amiable impulses of his own nature, it must not be forgotten that he has been all the time under strict tutelage, and that it is more to the judgment and tact of his advisers than to hit own unfettered discretion that are due the admirable pro. pricty and freedom from all that was likely to shuck d, mos cratic prejudices that have marked his progress since he Net foot on the American shores. . It is but right that the Mentor to whom the popularity of the British Telemachus is iu agreat measure owing de add have his fair share of the credit attaching to the conduct of his roval charge. It is not generally known, and it I. time that the fact should be stated, that on his Grace the !Juke of Newcastle has been devolved by Queen Victoria the ea. tire responsibility of her son's actions during his visit to our continent. Amongst the whole British aristoccey a wiser or more judicious relectiou could not have been m u le, The career of this nobleman, from hie first entree.: on public life, has been marked by an uprightness, a souudnees witiu of j ent, and a comprehensiveness of views whit.), have him out as ono of the most patriotic and tatielaWe of sing British statesmen. When Lord Lincoln, and under the canted of a bigoted father, his grace was one of the first to give his adhesion to the free-trade theories of Sir Robert Peel, convinced that in their adoption lay the only permanent foundations of the prosperity of his country. When that great man woe made the incessant object of bitter persecutions by the party whom he had conscientiously deserted, Lord Lincoln wa one of the small but gallant band of statesmen who adhered to his fortunes, and who, after his death, esteemed it their greatest pride to have Leen numbered amongst his followers. But it is not in public life only that the duke WWI displayed those rare qualities which have pointed him out to his sovereign for his present delicate and responsible position. The wane which he pursued on coming into possession of his father's title and estates offered an equally striking example of the justness of views and lofty disinterestedness which seem to be the leading qualities of his character. In his address to the teuantry of the Clamber estates, Notts, delivered in December, 1851, lie gave expression te sentiments and in. tentions whichdid equal credit to his head and Malt. In the first place, he informed them that the custom that had prevailed - of dern.inding the rent immediately after lime eet would be discontinued, as he felt that the practice was pre. judicial to the tenant, by compelling him to thresh out his c u m at a time when it was not tit for market, and disposing of it at a considerable loss to himself. Theu, after prefacing the announcement by an allusion to certain abatements of rent nude by his father, he stated that he had come to the con ' elusion that, as a claim for such reductions had been made, he thought the fairest course was to have all the farms on the estates revalued, which bad accordingly been Ilene by his octets, and the result was the reduction of the rent of a large proportion of them, whilst the few that were raitiel he had decided upon leaving et their old rental. con. sidering the heavy sacrifices which these concessions est aled on a landlord who had a princely rank to maintain, they manifest a conscientious regard fur his obligations and duties towards his tenantry, which is but rarely to be met with amongst the clam to which he belongs. Fears have been expressed that when the Prince of Wales comes amongst us be maybe betrayed into accepting some of the fulsome obligations which individuals, for their owe glorification, seem intent upon forcing on him. We have no apprehensions of this kind. The Duke of Newcastle is too discreet and safe a guide for him to permit his royal charge to be made the instrument of ministering to this foetid' vanity. The Prince visits us as a pirate individual, and, with the exception of the invitations from the President and the Mayor, we think it highly improbable, considering the lands he is in, that he will accept any other compliments of this nature. The tuft bunkers and Jeukinses that are lying in wait for him may therefore spare themselves all the trouble to which they are putting themselves. The duke, his Mentor, knows the ropes, and will not give hint a chance of falling into their clutehes.—New l'ork Herald. A letter from Stettin of the Ist inst. gives some interesting particulars of the reception of the Prince and Princess Frederic William in that town while passing through it on their way to the sea-bathing place of Putties. The inhabitants would appear to have rivalled the enthu. siesm displayed by the Canadians in the reception accordol toiler royal highness's brother, for the amount says that all the streets through which the prince and princess passed were gaily adorned, and in the new town trine'. phal arches were erected, while the old town, not to be outdone, strained every nerve to show honour to the illustrious pair, for the houses of four of the streets were almost without exception so richly decorated with flags, tapestry, crowns, garlands, and linnet devices, that such similar display had never previously been seen there. The ships in the harbour were also gaily dtessed. Their royal highnesses arrived at half-past ten in the morning. and im. inediately continued their journey in a steamboat. They were much cheered as they drive thr4agh the town, and several bouquets were thrown into their carriage. "Generals Letatuf and Froinsard, who are ac companying the Emperor and Empress on their journey, are charged," says the AL/g6ar of Algiers, " ender the direction of his Majesty, to examine the coaata of the Mediterranean at Nice, Provence, and Algeria—his Majesty being anxious to know personally the means of defence they possess. The presence of these two generals, who are mem. bets of the Commission of N►tional Defencea, will give additional interest to the imperial excursion." DEATH OP MRS.

All of the " excursionists" enrolled at Liverpool arc fine fellows of a superior class. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The 111100P , S of the demon stration of the Tonic Sol-fa Association on Tuesday Lot, of which the Scottish class foinied an important feature, resulted in the engagement of the Edinburgh Association for the performance of Scottish stags at the Palace. The first of these took place Yesterday, aml an attractive pro. gramme was efficiently rendered under the direction of Mr. lieriet, the conductor of the choir. The applause which greeted the vocalists ut the termination of almost every piece of their somewhat lengthened programme would have been considered in most placcs as denoinds for repetitive, and irresistible encores were awarded to aevend litres. the most noteworthy of which were "(Jeer the Sea," " We're all noddin'," "John Gremlin and his wife," " Feats who bac," " There was a man," and "Auld long Syne." The .eonal and final performance is announced for three o'clock on Friday next, and the singers return to Edinburgh on the following day.
