Ms. LONDON, FRIDAY, NOT. 16. le was with sincere satisfaction we were enabled I yesterday to report in our later impression the safe return of tho Royal Squadron from the United Mates. An hour after daylight the Hero was in sight from the tops of the Royal George, and at nine, in company with her consort, the Ariadne, her Mamorree ship with the Patties on board was securely moored in Plymouth Sound. The Hero was no laggard when a fair wind over took her after a long spell of contrary weather, and to all appearance she was as taunt and smart when she anchored as an outward bound. The Pauser., accompanied by the Duke of Nsw cern', was ashore soon after eleven, and at twelve was on his way by special train to Windsor, where we may be permitted to imagine tho welcome that awaited him after so long a separation. Now that the Hero is safe in the Sound, and the PRINCE of WALC4 once more on English land, we need no longer hesitate to confess that the long absence of the Royal squadron was beginning to excite considerable anxiety far and wide. For several days past the first question at the break fast tabl.!, when the morning's paper came in, was, Is the P fiNCC come ? In thousands of quiet homes from Portland to the Land's-end, and not only in towns and villages along our ironbound coasts, within earshot of the breakers, and familiar with the echoes of the moaning surf, but in snug mid land halls and cottages sheltered from the sea-winds by many wooded hills, good people have been asking night and morning, Has the Hero arrived? Along the granite cliffs from Maker Heights . to Cape Cornwall, full in the front of lice broad Atlas*, eyes skilled to pierce the gloom of cloud and wave C" den the night's as "dark as a " pocket," have strained from noon to mid night to the offing beyond which the low scattered ledge of the Scillies breaks the rolling distance with a thin faint line. In Plymouth Sound, the St. George has kept • bright look-out towards the Eddystone, and at Spithead • signal from the South-eastern headlands of the Isle of Wight has been eagerly looked for. When the Hero had been out ten days from Portland, U.S., that is on the last day of October, she was held to be "due." Good people even in these enlightened days, are like the courtiers of King CANors They fancy that a Prince of NVALISS is bound to be accommo dated by the authorities of the meteorological department up aloft with fine weather, smooth water and fair winds across the Atlantic in the stormiest months of the year. This fond per suasion is at any rate very loyal if not quite resamable. A ten days' run from Portland, U.S., to Plymouth would not be an indifferent performance for • Cmeaao steamer, and for a screw line-of-battle ship, with auxiliary steam power only, it would have been • feat almost as miraculous as the most loyal subjects could &airs. Nothing but an iceberg stops a packet steamer—neither fogs, nor gales, nor calms. To a screw line-of-battle ship, when her stock of coal is out, and a gale dead on end with a heavy head sea sets in for • fortnight or three weeks, steam power is so much dead weight, and she is no better off than many • stout old Indianian in the good old Limos beating up Channel for six weeks at a stretch, and sighting the Start or St. Alban's Head every other tack. A five-and-twenty days' passage from land to land, for a screw line of-battle ship under canvas only, against easterly gales, is rather favourable than otherwise. Still it was natural enough that, after the earliest day on whit h the Hero could ho considered due, ex pectation should grow day by day into anxiety, and that an the dangers of the Atlantic passage should be magnifiNl a hundredfold, albeit a Bri tish line-of-battio ship carrying • Royal Prince was not very likely- to disappear like the Presi dent, or to go down in flames like the Connaught. Easterly gales, however, have, like other ill winds, blown good. The public anxiety which has flashed the tidings of the return of the Hero along thousands of electric wires from end to end of these happy realms has proved once mom to the Sovereign Lady, if proof were needed, tho profound and even personal attach ment of her people, and the almost intimate and even family affection which is felt in every English home for the sons and daughters of the Royal House. Without extravagance, it may ho simply and truly said, that this great, warm-hearted English people cherishes its Prince of WALES as any English family cherishes its eldest born. What would net monarchs who reign by right divine, or by the popular will guaranteed by bayonets, give for one throb of this deep and homely national affection, which makes Queen VIVTOZIA'S every joy and grief the joy and grief of all her people. If anything could add to the public joy at the re turn of the Prince of WALGI it would be the pub lic admiration of his conduct and bearing during los sojourn among our Canadian fellow-subjects, and our kinsmen of the great Republic beyond the Atlantic. We knew that a royal presence, so roomful, ingenuous, and gentle, must win republi can hearts, but rthaps we were hardly prepared for the hearty sympathy with which our American cousins acknowledged the unaffected dignity, the manly simplicity, and the generous frankness of demeanour which distinguish the heir of the British Crewe. We believe that this auspicious inter course w di bear the kindliest and happiest fruits for the old country and the new. At no time could we desire inure earuestly than we do now the close alliance of the creat Angle-Sason family. Th e Prime of WALIC4 brings home, we are persuaded, a heart thrilling with affection for the mighty offspring of England, girl ♦ deep rasped for that energetic freedom ad expanding power. He brings home, too, an intellect sharpened and strengthened by contact with the vitality of a new civilization. He has tasted the life and destiny of the New World, in the prairie, in the forest clearing, in populous cities, where but yesterday the pioneer plied his axe. He has seen • nation of soldiers without an army, civil order without a police—wealth, luxury and culture without • Court or an aristocracy. He has learned to mingle with the busy crowd of men without the interven tion of chamberlains and courtiers ; he has found respect without ceremony, and honour without adulation. He has dwelt, too, in England at sea ; and nowhere can he have better learned the secret of England's greatness than in his experiences on board the Hero in the Atlantic. It is only due to the Duke of ICZWCABTLE to say that the Proses has been singularly fortunate in the selection of • Secretary of State to attend him on his travels. It seems a happy coincidence that at the hour when the royal squadron was making the English land on Wednesday night the Prunz Ml:um& was eloquently acknowledging the hospitalities which the Prince of Wai.ss had enjoyed in the United States. Tat under-tone of complacency and confidence which pervaded the speeches of her MAJESTY'S Ministers at Salters'-hall will perhaps be as highly appreciated by a sensitive public as any direel statements which they could have made on national affairs. The last traces of that over-excited sus ceptibility, which became • chronic symptom under the administration of Lord Datum, and was left as an inheritance to Lord PALMERSTON, have disappeared, and the language of the Patina is that of the leader of a nation proudly conscious not only of its security but of its strength. Nothing has more contributed to bring about this improved state of public feeling than the great fact which Colonel M`Mraeo mentioned on Wed nesday evening with all the authority of his official position. The gallant officer, whose professional duty it is to inspect and take note of the efficiency of the Volunteer army, stated that we have at this moment 78 solid battalions, comprising about 42,000 men, who will shortly be able to take their place with the line ; and, besides them, 36,000 other Volun teers, organised in 68 administrative battalions, who can move almost as well as the former, ready to take the field at once, if need be, and raising the number of the Volunteer army equal to the conditions of the line of battle to between 70,000 and 80,000 men. As a vigorous manifestation of Old England's capacity of self-help, this spon taneous and rapid development of military force has profoundly impressed the world, and it has also re-acted most healthfully upon the national spirit. But, with such a work going on in the nation, it was impossible that the feeble administration of Lord Deasy should be tolerated. Lord PAUSES irrox at the head of the Government unquesticm ably represents the watchful and resolute but thoroughly self-possessed spirit of the country. The PRIMER never spoke with more dignity and generosity than in his speech on Wednesday evening. His references to the United States of America, and his acknowledgment of the splendid reception given by their people to the Prince of Watrs, were most cordial, and going out as it does together with a notification of the safe return of his Royal Highness to his native land—an announce• meat which will be looked for as eagerly in New York and Boston as it has been in London or Liverpool —is most timely, and calculated to produce the best effect on the other side of the Atlantic. " Our " cousins in the United States," said the noble lord, " have shown themselves indeed to be • " noble and generous people ; they have shown 64 that they have not forgotten the common stock " from which they and we have sprung ; and, in " spite of events which, if not buried in oblivion, " might have produced some alight alienation be " tween us, they received the eldest son of our " gracious Soveamoe, not as if he wore a " stranger belonging to another land, but as if he " had been born in their own country, and had " been a citizen of their own republic. I trust, " gentlemen, that the remembrance of the gene " roue kindness thus exhibited by the people of the " United States will ever be cherished by the " people of theme kingdoms. I believe the me " mory of the PiuKces visit will long sur " vive in the breasts of the American nation, " and that these mutual recollections will " tend more closely than ever to knit together " those two great branches of the same noble, and " I will say illustrious, stock." We are not anxious to inquire the precise figure at which these expressions could be immediately discounted. We are content to know that words of genuine esteem and kindness do not fall to the ground ; and were it not so, they have a worth of their own that is placed above the accidents of time and chance. Lord PALIHERSTON'S language respecting the foreign, and especially the Italian, policy of his noble colleague, was what might have been ex pected of a Minister whose high and honourable feeling is equal to his strong common sense. The PIEMIXII did not forget to mark his opinion of re cent attempts to pervert the aspects of Lord Jetta Busse:tea attitude towards the Italian cause, as represented in his two celebrated despatches. After bearing witness to the consistency with which that noble lord had all through life been the friend and champion of the principles of free- dom, ho said, " My noble friend has lately had to " perform duties connected with the development "of freedom in one of the most interesting " countries of Europe. You have seen him watch " ing the progress of events in Italy, at one time " endeavouring to check those rash impulses which " threatened to renew wars which, if renewed, " might have blighted all the best hopes of Italian " freedom, and at another using the great power " and Intl tienoe of England to exhort other coun " tries to follow her example by abstaining from " all interference with the events passing in the " Peninsula, and by leaving the Italians to settle " their own affairs according to their own views of " their own interests. I trust, gentlemen, that " before long my noble friend will see the ac " complishment of his earnest wishes, and will " be able to witness the triumphant success of the " principles of which he has been so steady, so " persevering, and so consistent an advocate." Lord Patatasros, who has himself a high repu tation as a Foreign Minister, thus identifies him self with the policy of his noble colleague, adding the sanction of his experience and authority to that which the public voice had loudly applauded. The general remarks which the SICIETAEY for FOREIWN AFFAIRS offered on the character which best becomes English diplomacy might, a week or two ago, have seemed uncalled for and irrelevant. LonIJOHN professes his opinion that "the statesman " who is charged with the foreign department of " a groat country like this need not have recourse " to those wiles, those intrigues, and theee subter " fuges which are supposed to form the proper " trade and the proper weapons of a diplomatist. " My conviction is that in speaking the language " of truth and justice—speaking it calmly and 'Ube COWL vNie , THE RKPRESS. FIIIVAt - -. EVE - NING, " with moderatiga, but ` let s irlth firmness, noir - " disguising.theirnth—hhinftethe of thilconntry " is to be sustained and angesetted, without any " of those intrigues to which those who think " themselves clever diplomatists are apt to resort." There is 'nothing here which has not been me often said and so commonly accepted that, but forrecent experience, we should have passed these sentences over as the baldestof platitudes. It appears, however, that the truth has been allowed to pass unchallenged early because there was no immediate cause to has that it would be applied. The resolute attempt to realise it has called forth the most strenuous protest. This "disguising of the truth," which Lord JOHN Rosazu renounces, is recom mended as "a wise reticence," the last accomplish ment of statesmanship. The wretched fictions put forward on behalf of the Sardinian occu pation of the Roman and Neapolitan States, the pretences with which Lord JOHN RUSSELL peremptorily declared he would have nothing to do, are pointed to as specimens of diplomatic skill, while the honest enunciation of intelligible and liberal principles is deplored as rash and danger ous. Of course it is not from the "country party " that objections to a quality so English as straight forwardness are entertained on principle. We must look for the objectors among " aionomists, s ophisters, " and calculators." The public, which so long had asked in vain to be made a party to the foreign pol'cy of the country, is able to safe-guard the principle that has now triumphed ; but it is as well to know that there are those who do not hesi tate, under professions of liberalism, to assert the maxims of Marrsaition. Against such we oppose the language of Lord Joaw RUSSELL at Salters'- hall :—" We occupy a position on which depends, " in a great measure, the future welfare of other " countriea. It is our business, it is our duty, to " act with moderation, but at the same time never " to forget, never to conceal, never to blush for " those great principles which have made us what " we are, and which, I hope, will long maintain " us in the same proud position."

Obneral Fanti rejected this proposition. After the engagement of the 12th inst. the I Bourbon troops re-entered Gaeta Our troops have taken up fresh positions round the town. The garrison of Gaeta consisted of 18 battalions, but a despatch announces that two merchant steamers sailing under French colours had left Gaeta with troops.

The following is an extract from a Turin letter, of the 12th : The Venetian emigrants, whose numbers increase daily, have organised committees in every large town. The prin cipal one is at Turin, and last evening it held a meeting attended by all its members. After some discussion on administrative matters, of no interest to any but the per sons concerned, one of the members proposed Garibaldi as honorary president of the committee. The motion was received with unbounded applause, and adopted unanimously. It was also decided to transmit the minutes of the sitting to all the local com mittees, with the request that they also would appoint the ex-Dictator of the Two filedlea their honorary president. The propagation will be received else where as it has been here, and in legs than a week Gari baldi will be the honorary president of all the Venetian rei . ugeee residing in the stales of Bing Victor Emmanuel. A deputation has been named to wry to Capron the an. nouncement of this vote, and an address. The officers who were taken prisoners at Capna have been asked if they were disposed to take service immediately in the national army. Nod of them have declined doing so, and their refusal has raised them in general estimation. Yesterday, the National Guard of Turin gave a grand dinner to the mobilised Tuscan battalion.

(noM OUR OWII CORIIIIIPONDINT.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVLNDIO. I have heard no avowable reason for the extra ordinary mystery which surrounds the departure of the Empress for Scotland. In all probability, I am the only correspondent who mentioned the fact of her having left St. Cloud at six o'clock yester day morning ; and all the French journals to-day are silent with regard to the fact, which is the leading topic' of private conversation in political circles. People are not agreed as to the borrowed name under which her Majesty travels. Some say she calls herself the Countess de la Motte Ben vron, others the Countess de Pierrefonds—a title bor rowed from the ruined castle near Compiegne. Of course the Moniteur must soon mention the fact of her having left Paris, but it will be impossible for the most imperial of imperialist journals to give any rational reason for attempting to keep the matter a secret. The Bourse has again experienced a fall in con sequence of the augmentation of the Bank of England's discount to six per cent., and the fear that the council of the Bank of France, which is sitting late to-day, will raise theirs to five per cent. The Rente fell 20c. for cash, and 25c. for account, closing at 691 r. 60c. and 69fr. 65c. Mobilier fell 12fr. 50c. The Orleans and Northern railways fell 7fr. 50c. each ; Lyons and Southern, 6fr. each ; Western, 2fr. 500. ; and Eastern, lfr. 25c. M. Alphonse Rothschild has purchased Madame de Montijo's mansion in the Champs Elystkot, and also the ground adjoining, on which stood the house of M. Emile de Girardin, lately pulled down. M. Dnfaure's railway accident unfortunately turns out to be more serious than was at first expected, and it is feared that some time must elapse before he will be able to resume his place at the bar. A Paris letter, in the Salut Public of Lyons, has the following passage : A general subject of conversation in the diplomatic circles of Paris is an autograph letter which the Emperor is said to have lately addressed to Victor Emmanuel ma the subject of the favourable and rapid results obtained by Piedmont in the South of Italy. The Emperor has, it is said, recommended him to redouble his prudence and mo• deration, and to have consideration for the feelings of the people ; assuring him that Europe must judge Italy by her works, and that it is for the Italians to merit by their con- duct the recognition by Europe of the new order of things in the Italian Peninsula. I have not heard anything of this letter, but if it exists I presume that there must be something more in it than the jejune and utterly insignificant ex tract above given. I dare say you know in a general way that state ments which appear every season in the European press of some individual having gained an enor mous fortune at the gambling tables of Baden- Baden or Homburg are always advertisements in tended to draw pigeons to the net. This year there has been more talk than usual about an individual named Garcia, who broke the bank over and over again at Homburg, and it was repeatedly said to be doubtful whether the bank would be able to go on after the many breakages caused by the invincible Garcia. The lovers of the " board of green cloth" will, however, be happy to learn from the following paragraph which I find in the Semaphore of Mar seilles, that the " ball still rolls" at Homburg ;-- "M.

CHINA. The Monitear publishes the following account of the progress of affairs in China : After the capture of the forts of Taku, the French and English Ambassadors immediately proceeded to Tien-Min, where, after a brief negotiation with the Imperial Commis alone' Keuei-Liang, &project of convention was decided upon for the purpose of re-establishing peace between the allied governments and that of China. The last-named, yielding on all points to the demands of the allied powers, declared itself reedy to accept the ultimatum which France and England had presented in March last. Baron Gros and Lord Fig% had already made their preparations to proceed to Pekrn with a suitable escort to exchange there the rati fications of the treaty of June 27, 1858, and deliver their letters of credence into the bands of the Emperor, when the Chinese commissioner suddenly alleged that be had not sufficient powers, and refused to sign the prelhnioaries already accepted ; and he declared to the ambassadors tle.t be could not treat except ad referendum. Such couduct evinced on the port of the Chinese negotiator a want of good faith which necessarily irritated the plenipotentiaries of France and Great Britain. A resolution was home diately come to with common accord between Baron Gros I sod Lord Elgin that they would reply by causing the allied force* to advance as far as Ting-Tchou, a large town situated on the road to Pekin, and about ten miles from the capital. It was there only they declared that they would listen to the propositions of the Imperial Commissioners, provided this time with full and real powers. After this resolution, which was come to on the Bth of September, the escort which was to have accompanied the ambassadors to Pekin was obliged to be trawsforanwl into a body of troops suffi ciently strouz to convince the Chinese government of the firm determivation of the allied powers to attain the object which they proposed to thenmelves. The latest information received, and particularly a despatch from General Sir Hope Grant, detest the zith Sept., end which cone from Aden by telegraph to her Britannic Majesty, fully authorises the hope that a fresh reeouree to arum will not have been necessary, and that the Chinese gov_•romeut will have hastened to sanction the conditions already consented to by the plenipotentiaries. "It hi stated positively," says the Illcesauer du Midi, "that when the Chinese expedition has completed its ob ject, General Montauban will take his forces to Cochin Chinn. The following is the state in which things are in the latter country :—We have at Segou, the second capital of that vast empire, 300 men at the most, of whom 150 are Marines and 150 seamen. These men are commended by a young mid intelligent caFtain in the navy, who has con ducted the expedition with great energy and skill. The Spaniards have a force of 1,200 men stationed at Turon. This handful of soldiers of the two nations are surrounded by an army of ii 0,1,100 Cochin Chinese. General Montauban, no resohnig Cu Chia China, will, it . is said, ednune on Hue, the capital of the empire, and it is there that peace must be concluded." The Espana of Madrid states that the Queen had written an autograph lAtcr to the Bing of Naples, ex plaining the line of policy which her government is obliged to follow in Italy under present circumstances, and ex pressing sympathy with his position.

Henry Pepys, D.D., Bishop of Worcester, who died at Har. Uebury Castle, in this county, shortly before midnight on Tuesday. The event, which has been looked for for some weeks past, was not generally known until to-day.
