S Aftirsoss. tab. IN. Tomomow—Marstoi. Ilts. f 10....- Aftanom. Ilk. its. LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4. Is there no hope for the City? Will it for ever continue to run its career of extravagance on the one hand and extortion on the other? Do the authorities wish to perpetuate the system of creating or uphold ing nuisances, in order to god money to pay foe banquets to Sovereigns? Are they so many Vas rasters, who es long as a coin is genuine refuse to detect any unpleasant odour in it, however filthy may have been the source from which it has been grubbed? We should very much like to hear these questions answered in the negative, but facts forbid us to entertain such vain expectations. It is new pretty well known that there is a large party in the City de sirous of turning Smithfield into a dead-meat market, for the purpose of making up any loss that may be sustained by the removal of the cattle market to Holloway. In other words, they wish to substitute for the periodical nuisance of the introduction of a number of live beasts, the standing nuisance of car cases and joint', a portion of which, at least, will be in a state of iacipient decomposition. If any person wishes to become practically acquainted with a dead meat market, or, in fact, with what the poet cal* „ a beautiful row of butchers' shops," even on a small scale, let him walk through Hewlett. or Newport market, and consider the effect upon his olfactory nerves. When that is done, let him multiply the effect by a million, and he will approximate in ima gination to the perfume of a gigantic dead-meat mar ket covering the whole area of Smithfield. It is well known that it is the intention of the obstructive party in the City to endeavour to carry oat the plan for **appropriation of Smithfield as a deed-meat mark.* but it is not so well known that this intention dates so far back as the pining of the Act for providing a Metropolitan Market in lieu of Smithfield. The preamble to the Aot expressly states that "It is desirable that, in lieu of the market now holden in Smithfield, a more speciosa cattle market, with a malt market, Ste., shall be provided in • suitable place." Nothing an be more clear, then, than that it was is tended that Smithfield should cease henceforth not only to be a cattle market, bat a meat market. The same intention is evident in the third and other climate of the Act. It the tenth clause, however, we find that an opening is left for en interpretation con trary to the spirit of the Act, as far as it relates to this portion of the subject. It is there stated that, after a certain time, " Smithfield shall come to be • market for the sale of tattle or bones, and markets for the sale of cattle, horses, and matt, shall beholden is the respective places provided under the Act, and such markets shall be deemed to be public markets, sad no new market for the sale of cattle or horses shall be opened in the City of London," &a. The careful omission of " meat" in the first and third sentences was effected in committee,and the presump• tics is, that it was the intention of the enemy at a proper time to upset one great provision of the Act by the means of this clause. There is also an endea veer to attain this object indirectly by other means. The new market at Holloway certainly contains a spew set apart for the sale of deed meat, but the rates sic so extravagantly high as to tweets a s► rims obstacle in the way of its being used, and it is so small that only a fraction of the business of the market could be carried on there. One great sale► man has said that the space is no greater than that which he could occupy himself. These en dame thrown up which show which way the wind blows. We may expect it shortly to come down upon us in a Pst In anticipation of the tempest, St. Barth°km% Hospital has taken the initiative. In as ielitinbra with the Cluammou of the Emmaus!.

Of all parties immediately interested in the conservation of this era epee, St. Bartholomew's is the tot madded to a hearing. Ice the first place r en far s the question of property is involved, their opposition to a meat market is priestly disks. twisted. A 'ergo portion of their memo b dieleed from rents of bosses sontigsoes to the minket, eat these rests would be improved by the instftudint el a monster trading establishment covering the whole d Smithfield.

The objection of the medical men applied to buildings for ordinary purpose, ; bow mach more forcibly will it apply to buildings filled with dead most? The officers added that the adoption of the mane they objected to would intently tad to Increase the mor tality among the patients of the hospital, and mate rially aced permasently diminish its capabilities of relieving the sick poor of Leedom.

THIS DAY. The month of December is not very favourable for 1 out-door displays in Ragland, excepting perhaps for field sports, and it is to be regretted that the weather , this morning was anything but propitious for the vast preparations which the City had made to celebrate the visit of the King of Sardinia. Beyond the limits I of the bills of mortality it was seasonable perhaps for a hunt, but within the approaches to Temple Bar the nature and aspect of the atmosphere were otherwise. Outside the town one could see along distance ahead, bet in the City the damp smoky fog in the early part of the morning changed to a drizzling rain, causing pedestrians to sink almost ankle deep in slippery mud. Comparatively speaking, yesterday was brilliantly fine, and the citizens who inhabit the route from Charing Cross to Guildhall had lined either side of the street with evergreens, flags, and banners, thickly intermingled with the national colours of Sardinia, and had to-day been equally fine the spectacle would doubtless have been:exceedingly attractive. As it is, those who lined the streets and occupied the windows and balconies in front of houses, cannot be said to have much enjoyed their view of the Royal carriages as they drove past. No rain, however, actually fell at the time of the progress to the City. PROGRESS THROUGH THE STREETS, AND ARRIVAL AT GUILDHALL. His Royal Highness Priam Albert, accompanied by the King, lett Windsor Castle shortly before ten o'clock, and travelled by special train on the South Western Railway to Buckingham Palace, at tended by the Chevalier Massimo d'Aseglio, Major-General Count Morrozo della Rocca, Moja-General Marquis d'Angrogna, Count Apia, Count de Bobillant, Count Valperga Barone, Captain du Platt, Lord Byron, Hon. A. C. Hood. On their arrival they were received by a guard of honour of the Grenadier Guards. His Majesty here held a levee, which was attended by the principal foreign ambassadors, after which he left the palace, attended by his numerous suite, in four of her Majesty's state carriages, and escorted by the Horse Guards. The prooession passed down the Grand Mall of St. James's park, and through the Horse Guards—where the bead of the Horn Guards were stationed, playing the national air of Sardinia— by Charing-cross, Strand, Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's Churchyard, Cheapeide, Poultry, past the Mansion Home, Princes-street, Greshamstreet, to the Guildhall. The road was partly lined by the Hoesehold troops, two squadrons of the Life Guards taking part in the procession. A guard of honour of the Grenadier Guards was stationed with its band in 'the vestibule leading to the Ouildhell. Owing to the limited number of the City polies, a large force of the Metropolitan police were on duly Is the City, from Temple-her to the north side of St. Paul's Churchyard, the City form taking the re mainder of the road to Guildhall. Most of the streets in the leading into the route of the precook' were closed at nine o'clock in the morning, and me carriage or vehicle was permitted to enter or remain therein after that hour. After half-past eleven o'clock none with or without tickets were permitted to pus along the line. Hie Majesty's reception equalled in enthnsiama that which greeted him oa his first arrival in the metropolis. At the various parts of the routs tasty devices in drapery and arms were displayed, and moat of these being connected with one or other of the memorable victories in the Crimea, they naturally excited a good deal of admiration. Over the vestibule of the school building in St. Paul's Churchyard were placed some Russian trophies, arranged with much art and skill. The streets were crowded, the spectators including a moderate sprinkling of foreigners. A company of street minstrels obtained applause, and probably profit, by trolling a song of welcome in honour of the King. The bells of the City churches rang merry peals before the proemial arrived, and during its progress. The pace kept up by the procession was a rapid one, so that few wore able to catch more than a momentary glance of the Xing in the closed carriage in which he sat. His Majesty reached Guildhall shortly before one o'clock. Here he was received by the Lord Mayor and other civic functionaries. As his Majesty alighted and entered the Hall, the bend played the national air of Sardinia, and is he passed to the throne which had been prepared for him, the company remained standing and applauding vociferously.

The rest of the decorations consisted chiefly of pictorial , representations of the ancestry of the Royal House of gar dials. At the bass of this picture, in heraldic frames, or namented with Sardinian flags, were the portraits of Carlo Emanuele the First, Vittorio Amodio the Pint, Francisco (Huila°, and Carlo Emanuele the Second. On the north side of the Hall were the portraits of Vittorio Amodio the Se cond, Vittorio Amodio the Third, Carlo Alberto, Carlo Emanuele the Fourth, and Vittorio Emanuele. On the south side of the Hall Carlo Emanuele the Third, Carlo Felice. Over the entrance door leading to the Council Chamber was a portrait of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Over the entrance from the Guildhall-yard a portrait of Prises Eugene of Savoy; also, on the south side of the Hall, portraits of Thos. Carignano, an illustrious member of the , house Bonifaos, Archbishop of Canterbury, and hie Egad limey the Marquis D'Aseglio. From the upper cornices of the side of the Hall were displayed the French, Sardinian, 1 Turkish, and British flags.

The ananpmente sad decorations throughout were planned and designed by Mr. Bunning, the City's archi tect—the pictures and portraits painted by Mums. Pantos, Absolom, and Coke Smythe. The arrangements were made to suit with gas-light, first as a means of warming, and also as a precaution against dark or foggy weather. PRESENTATION OF THE ADDRESS AND THE LINO'S REPLY. Immediately after his Majesty had amended the throne the company were requested to resume their mats. His Majesty still remained standing, and ap peared to be loot in admiration of the magnificence of the scene by which he was surrounded. The Lord Mayor observing that his Majesty continued to stand, ascended the steps of the dais and addressed the King in the French language, and begged him to take the chair of honour set apart for his ue. His Majesty, however, made a negative motion; and the Lord Mayor having retired amidst the cluster of Aldermen at the foot of the throne, the ceremony of the presentation of the Address com menced. The Right Hon. the Reoorder advanced and read the Address. In this document the Corporation of the City of London expressed their heartfelt con gratulations on the arrival of his Majesty. The Royal visit was hailed as a happy evidence of the intimate relations between the two countries; it was felt to be the more valuable at this momentous crisis of European affairs, sines his Majesty had avowed his desire to participate in the triumph of the principles for which the Allied Powers were contending on the field of battle. The address went on to say that the Allies sought no more than to vindicate the rights of nations, and to secure a Jesting and honourable pesos ; and concluded with a warm eulogy upon the bravery which the Sardinians had displayed in the Crimea, and with the expression of • hope that his Majesty would long be spared to uphold the cause of national independence, and of civil and religious liberty. The Recorder having handed the address to the Lord Mayor, his Lordship mended the throne and presented it to the King. His Majesty read a reply In Italian, of which the following is a translation: "My Lord Mayor,—l offer my heartfelt thanks to you, to the Aldermen, and to the Commons of the City of London, for the cordial congratulations whim's you present to me on the occasion of my visit to her Majesty the Queen, and to the British nation. a The reception that I meet with in this ancient land of eoustitational liberty, of which your address is a confirmation, is to me a proof of the sympathy inspired by the policy I have hitherto pursued, a policy in which it is my intention constantly to per- Were. The close alliance existing between the two most powerful nations of the earth, is honourable alike to the wisdom of the Sovereigns who govern them, and to the character of their people. They have under stood how preferable is a mutually advantageous friendship to ancient and ill-defined rivalry. ' , This albinos is a new fact in history, and is the triumph of civilization. Notwithstanding the mis fortuees which have weighed upon my kingdom, I have entered into this alliance, became the House of Savoy ever deemed it to be its duty to draw the sword, when the combat was for justice and for in dependerswe. If the foram which I bring to the Allies, are thous of a state not vast, I bring with them, nevertheless, the inflames of a loyalty never doubted, and sup ported by the valour of an army always faithful to the banners of its Binge. “ We cannot lay down our arms until an honour able, and, therefore, durable peace has been secured. This we shall accomplish by nesting unanimously the triumph of true right, and the just desires of each nation. I thank you for the good wishes you this day express for my future happiness, and for that of my kingdom. _ _ _ "While you thus express yourselves with respect to the future, it gives me pleasure to speak of the present, and to coogratelate you on the high position attained by Great Britain. This is to be attributed to the free and noble character of the nation, and also to the virtues of your Queen."

Majesty remained standing for some time upon the throne, even until the Diplomatic Corps had retired, bowing as they passed, to the banquett in g chamber. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by the Earl of Cardigan , and Major-General Macdonald, was about to [foll ow, but being seen by the King, his Majesty descended to the floor and kept his Royal Highness in conver sation for some minutes. His Majesty was then ushered into the Chamber by the Lord Mayer, and partook of a dejeuner in the company of her Ma jesty's Ministers, the Diplomatic Corps, and other distinguished personages. The King shortly afterwards took leave of the Lord Mayor, and returned to Buckingham Palace in the order observed while proceeding to the City. His Majesty wore the same uniform as on his arrival. Viscount Palmerston, who arrived shortly before the King, was greeted with very hearty cheering. A similar compliment was also paid to Lord Panmure, and the Ministers of Franco, Turkey, Sweden, and the United States. After his Majesty had retired, amidst the acclama tions of the assemblage, the numerous and brilliant company repaired to the crypt beneath the Hall, where an elegant and sumptuous entertaiment awaited them. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. mile and others who paw a great portion of their three there, might have been affected. We have only glanced at a few of the evils whisk I would result from the scheme to which wetia drawn attention. It is a scisente which, if es into operation, would stultify the Act of the Legiels. tare for the removal of Smithfield market. Instead of the area of the market being filled with live beasts standing for a period in pens, it would be crammed with meat slowly decomposing on counters. Gar bage would be scattered about the paths, and blood stagnating in the gullies. It would fly in the face of that resolution of the Committee of the House of Commons to the effect that there had been "great benefit to the health of the neighbouring inhabitants, from the presence of a large open space such as Smithfield." The Committee in the same resolution expressed their hopes that in any contem plated alterations, the greater part of the open space might be retained. Finally, it would violate the Charter by which the Corporation were authorised le um Smithfield as a "whet. The said Charter de aling that no license should be granted to build upoa the ape space, and in express terms provided for the inesseion of the spot to its original less, provillsi the market should be done away with. Is task 11011101eld, now the market is abolished, is Grown property. An opinion of the law officers of the Crown asserting this, was given more than a year op, and has never been rebutted by the City. It remains to be seen what opposition to the scheme will proceed from the intelligent portion of the citizens who have of late years done so much to pro- I mote sanitary regulations. Tao old Romans decreed a civic crown to him who bad saved a citizen's life in battle.

It is the universally ex premed mess of the London public that Lieutenant, Hors sad his twenty-five gallant volunteers deserve special nodes and distinguished reward. From another source we learn that at the moment of the explosion, Lieutenant Hors, who was the only officer of his regiment left in camp at the time, with a degree of self-possession beyond his years, seined the bugle sad sounded the " Assem bly" for the men to fall in and parade. The self possession and promptitude of resource thus evinced, combined with hie subsequent loathes and generous self-devotion, show that he is the true metal to make a leader oL His coolness and judicious loaded in sash an awful and unforeseen emergeacy Is a far more real proof that he possesses the highest qualities of a soldier, than Mere gallantry in action mold be. The beam refloated on his family by Lord HOPITOUN , of Peninsular fame (Mr. Hors is the only son of the Lad Justice Clerk of Scotland) will be augmented yet by his young relative. The truly brave are always the , most ready to assert the claims of others. We feel con fident that any reward conferred upon Lieutenant Hors would lass great part of its value in his esti ' pieties, if the brays and devoted men who volunteered along with him were sot rewarded at the same time.

Correspondence from Constantinople states that Viscount Stratford de Radcliffe has protested energeti cally against the late t of Colonel Tarr by the Austrian commander at Bucharest. The Porte also has expressed itself to the Austrian minister at Con stantinople as deeply aggrieved by this outrage, seeing that the Turkish territory was the scene, and that the officer arrested is attached to an allied army, the individual members of which, by virtue of a treaty, have the right to circulate throughout the Sultan's dominions. It appears from the Ost. Deutsche Post that on the 30th ult. Colonel Tiirr was in prison at Cronstadt, and that a council of war had pronounced hie sen tence. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE RUMOURS OF PEACE. View OUR OWN CORNISPONDiNT) PARIS, MONDAY EVININO. We are pestered to-day with delusive rumours of peace, to which the public that frequents the Bonne lends a credulous ear. It is confidently affirmed that the propositions, whatever they be, which the Press of London boldly asserted the French Emperor had transmitted to the English government, stamped with his approval, have been returned approved of also by Lord Palmerston's ministry. The knotty Third Paint is said to be resolved by the simple expedient st declaring the Black Sea by treaty to be open only to commercial vessels of all nations. and therefore the Bourse people say it will not matter how mars; ships of war the Czar may have at Nioo lai.ff, because the treaty—that is, a piece of paper— will prevent him from bringing them down to the Burins waters. On all this I have only to observe that although it is true that negotiations for peace are going on, and althoogt. I fully expect that within the next few days the prospects of a speedy settlement will be represented u rest ing on such plausible grounds that the ge neral 'public may probably be induced to believe that peace is really at hand, the French and English Governments know perfectly well that there is no chance of any such result from the present pour porters. Ido not know what may be the precise shape of the propositions backed by Germany to which the Allies think it politic to pay respectful attention ; but of this I am certain, that their fixed resolution is, while still professing to be ready to ne gotiate on the basis of the Four Points, to maintain such a position in the Black Sea for some time to come as the Czar has not the least idea of con senting to. At the Bourn there has been an extraordinary rise. The Rents, which was exceedingly buoyant throughout the day, closed at 67fr., with a rise of lfr. 30c. This was for cub, which is generally meant in France when quotations are spoken of, but for speculative account the rise was nearly 2fr. Credit Mobilier rose 271 r. 60c.

A despatch of this day's date from Marseilles, Maha l that the Montebello, Pleuras, Friedland, Jean Bart, and Alger, vessels of the line, and the steam corvette the Primaugnet, which formed part of the squadron of the late Admiral Brag, arrived at Toulon yester day from the Black Sea with troops of the Imperial Guard.

SARDINIA.-COLONEL TURK, TURIN, Nov.2i. I wish to draw your serious attention to the eased Colonel Turr, recently arrested as a deserter by u s Austrian authorities in Wallachia—under what a l , l onmstances of disgrace and insult tons, all Englasdi by this time aware. It appears that the British go. vernment has applied to the Piedmontese policela the elements of a biography of this unfortunate en ; and it has bees thought proper here, instead of state / the simple truth, to darken his character, on 0 4 purity of which he must depend for general sympathy by the most unfounded calumnies. Most probabs this mancenvre will be treated with the contempt d deserves. The police, no doubt, have mistaken di motives for which we sought for information. is t yet purified by the constitutional atmosphere it y es lately breathed, it imagines itself still to be la t h i good old times of despotism and cowardly d eal * tine. We asked for truth, by which to ravag e ow eonduct: it meanly endeavours to supply Is Ina st excuse for its abandonment. In reply, then, to the questions formally pat toil.. first, What was the opinion held of Colonel Tarr yin he lived in this country? second, Why was henna' land expelled ? the police of Sardinia, by proper channel," replied categorically Turr was an Austrian epy. I believe lan as position to give this statement the most flat and?* tive denial. I have made the most anxious iodates; inquiries both of people who knew him here, and/ people from Lombardy, foreign and native, and I f d t that all agree not only in disbelief of the statement,gt in indignation. The republican and the revolnu nv parties is Italy are not famous for confidence in th e friends and leaders. They generally err oh the Mt of suspicion. Every act in a man's public and print s life is carefully scrutinised. /so one with impunity can commit an equivocal act, or disappear from the scene for a moment, without giving the clearest pa ble explanations. The innocent may be blamed,* it is impossible that the guilty should escape dens don—when so many lives and fortunes doped a the truth being known—for any length of time; to suppose therefore that Colonel Turr should hen systematically betrayed hie party ever since 149, or once in 1853, and yet retain their undiminisrel oonfideuce, is simply absurd. The accusation is in heard of for the first time, and is invented for the nonce. _ _ _ To relate to you all the actions of Colonel Tro during his residence in Piedmont op to 1853 may to give the history of the Lombard and Beep& emigration ; and the time has not yet cows Is this fully and freely. Suffice it to say, that hem entrusted on various occasions by the revdrffimegn well as by the liberal party with important which necessarily placed him in immix dip ous secrets, and that no one ever even thig suspecting him. Whom did he betray P conspiracy ever failed by his means? Whirs mi the proofs, direct or presumptive, of his camp deuce with the Austrian government? Tie saw meet that was prepared for Febrnery, 1861, al which was to break out simultaneously et Nia, Bologna, Verona, Mantua, and Venice, as well all the Piedmontese frontier, was not oat pedudi well known to him long previously, baths mem trusted with a principal part in the entarides. Wit hint did the Austrians obtain beforehand? Its movements in the other cities failed, as is always tis case in conspiracies, " from unforeseen causer—di is why they are absurd and impolitic—bat in MU the Austrians were quite taken by surprise. Wald they have been so if all the ineurrectionuy plats I had long before been in the bands of one of the agents P Colonel Tarr wee to have led a corps of refers over the frontier. He was arrested is the vary set by the Piedmontess authorities, who instead of re lensing him of being a spy, treated him with ale and contumely as a disturber of the public pea. They would have been only too glad at that time b have an excuse for their conduct—which woe UM bated to a criminal subservience to Austris. Ta liberal party, once the friends of Colonel Tarr,* tively bestirred themselves. There is a story mead a lady going to throw herself at the feet of Os to beg for his liberation. Lorenzo Valerie talked d bringing the question before the Chamber anyone. Why . did they not then say that Turr, who 'Mudd this interest, was an Austrian spy! Instead dieted. they talked of him as au agitator, a duress an, who would bring the country into trouble; sad preached eloquently in favour of order. S4lo* ever, the indignation becoming general, whit 001 5 do I' They not only released this Austrian spy, handed him over to the embrace of the men he IN said to have betrayed, but supplied him with tool/ to proceed to Malta and take service in the Br army—a step which has led to his mist sad roc, and may probably lead to his death.
