YINOTWAY morning, about the hour when the enlightened tagragocracy of the commercial metro polis of the world were gathering together to assist at the barbarous mysteries of (log and Magog ; when turtle-minded civic dignitaries were sitting, pompous and stuffy, a spectacle to gods and men, in awful pride and circumstance of equipage and costume ; when Aldermen and Common Coun cillors were courting the east wind for an appetite, and trying to look as if they had invented London —at that very hour a very different scene was ' being enacted in Southern Italy ; a scene startling enough to the modern mind of men of business, and to the positive wisdom of this age of gold. A victorious soldier, a powerful ruler, a sovereign in all but the name, was offering up the rich guerdon of his heroic self devotion on the altar of an emancipated country, and departing amidst tears and blessings, poor as he came--a conqueror, a deliverer, • Dictator, a plain man, without honour, or reward, or favour of earthly sort—back to the lonely island and the humble farm. Lord of the hearts of a liberated nation, master of an island kingdom, and of the famed province of the garden of Europe, GAILI SAI til, at the summit of power and in the fulness of triumph, salutes the King of ITALY, and into his chosen Sovereign's bands commits the solemn true of the national independence which his own right arm has achieved. History, in its most k-gelidary epochs, has few pages like this ; and we, the latest heirs of tiros, can ill afford to let an example that red...ems the bemuses of a century die out in a day like a Lord Mayor's fooling. We can well imagine that the stern simplicity of this great, good man's farewell will seem fantastic in the lofty regions of diplomacy and finance, and will somewhat disconcert the fastidious proprieties of courtly circles. These antique heroes are well enough on the stage, or as themes for schoolboy declamation. Self-sacrifice is • touching effect in • drains ; it sounds well in • sermon ; it is one of those moral dainties which serve to titillate the exhausted sentiment of good society ; and it is all the more pungent that it is absurdly uareaL It is a picture, a poem ; an operatic *mei, • luxury of the senses and the imagination: but in the waking world of actual men and women---/i deist !—seU-sacrifice is an anachronism, a fable, a romance of vulgar and empty radical conceit. What is to become of " I inter," and of all the virtues which are fostered by the monarchical principle, and spring up with rank parasitical abundance in the atmo sphere of Courts, if the world is to witness such a spectacle as this of a man bestowing kingdoms, yet content to owes his country without reward ; a man faithful to his ward, destitute of personal ambition, flying from wealth and worldly distinctions, and as eager to escape the caresses of fortune, and the tickle enthusiasm of shouting cities , as the vulgar great are in their pursuit I Happily for the thrones and aristocracies which the world still worships, • Wasturnietor and a AKIIIALLit are exceptional figures, and their ex ample is not catching. A seined conspirator who has confiscated the liberties of a nation in a night, and who steeps • people in oorrnption for the security of • despot's throne ; • monarch more or less legitimate, who buys allegiance with bayonets, and whose courtiers dance over dungeons in which intellect, and conscience, and daunt/ems pa triotism are wasting to death—these are the heroes of the high world's admiring sympathy and respect. If calamity overtakes them, what • shock to society ! If they disappear, what a vacuum they leave behind ! From the moment when, with a handful of devoted followers, the liberator of Italy stepped ashore at Marsala, to the moment when he ex changed • simple sailor's farewell with Admiral Meow at Naples, the glory of Gail BALDee enter prise has never suffered• moment's eclipse. Bravest of the brave, gentlest of the gentle, simplest of the simple-hearted, truest of the true, from first to last ! Never sparing his own precious life, never shed ding a drop even of an enemy's blood without pity, incapable of dissembling, impatient only of dissemblers, he leaves to the Neapolitan people, degraded by long servitude, an ideal of all Christian and heroic virtues ; of courage, temperance, patience, self-denial, simplicity, kind ness, fidelity. May Italy look through the dangers and darkness of the future to that lonely isle ('sprees as the stortutossed seaman looks to the light burning over the waters. When Italy is in periL ILIKIIIALIOI will be ill her midst again ; it is only in the hour of her triumph that ho is seen no inure. Tim still =penetrated Road mystery bids fair to illustrate in succession every deficiency in our existing system for the detection of crime. Round the great central fact of a murder, committed under circumstance* apparently the niost conducive to disco% ery, yet remaining enveloped in absolute darkness, group tbenmelves failures in every species awl form of investigation which our laws recognise. An inquest has been held. and has proved abortive ; two different persons have been brought before the magistrates, and have been ills- Chi: god from sly a _.• n.•rdl inquiry• probe . mated by a so:ie . :tor astMg for the bench and under the sanction of the Ili and the elkullis of the fives have utterly SAumnas hem come his person, to all present appearance, it seems probable that the amateur zeal of an unpaid and irresponsible magistracy, even though aided by the accident of such legal training as may be involved in the profession of "conveyances," will suffer an equally conspicuous discomfiture. Yet of this Fenspect we desire to be understood to speak but hypothetically. A gentleman who bears "lacked in his bosom " a secret which is of the highest importance, but which he is resolved never to divulge till the proper time arrives • and who " carries in his pocket a document w hich, if he " were to affix his signature to it, world change " the whole character of the investigation," is entitled to some credit on the contents of his bosom and his pocket. But, in the meantime, we can only regret that the forms of English justice prevent a judge from filling at once the bench and the witness-box, and debar a magistrate who has so minutely acquainted himself with the whole gossip of the neighbourhood from informing us in his own person what every old woman for ten miles round has said on the subject. Yet it were unfair to regard Mr. SAUNDIIIB AS merely an individual instance of eccentricity. The great benefit of the " investigation" which be is conducting is, that it exhibits to us precisely the ways and works of the typical policeman. Magnified in scale, and carried on under the strong light of publicity, the proceedings of Mr. SACNDLID4 are exactly those of the regular detec tive. This wandering, with aimless sagacity, round and round the scene of the crime, this tedi ously minute inquiry into utterly irrelevant facto, this listening with pricked up ears to every idle word of tenth-hand gossip, this pompons ostenta tion of secret information which never comes to anything, are old familiar features to all who have had occasion to watch the conduct of a police inquiry. In the common administration of our criminal law these peculiarities do not, indeed, come before the public eye. The rule which prohibits hearsay evidence compels a policeman when in the box to mask his researches under the expression, " from informs " tion I received." Nor, when his information has enabled him, in a simple case, to lay his hand on the shoulder of the real criminal, is there cow sion for us to consider the efficacy of his method. But if, when a more recondite crime calls for detection, we find that the men and the methods are alike unequal to the occasion, we have cause to be grateful to any one who will, as Mr. SM.' NDIUU is doing, show us exactly the process upon which we ordinarily rely for our security. For let it be remembered that it is on the police we wholly depend for the discovery of crime. The magis trate's function only commences where that of the police officer ends. Here and there an unusually active justice of the peace may personally direct the researches into a crime, as Mr. Smesuraa is now doing ; but, as a general rule, the whole in quiry rests with the lowest branch of our civil ad- ministration. What wonderthat in such hands crime keeps a-head of detection? What wonder that facts are misstated, or altogether omitted, when the ques tion of their value is left for weeks in the hands of an inspector, who was originally admitted to the force because of his development of biceps, and who was promoted from the ranks because of his steadiness and long service ? What wonder that unusual forms of crime baffle routine forms of in vestigation, and that criminals who are able to exercise a little forethought easily succeed in mis leading detectives, whose ideas do not rise beyond • search for a missing nightdress or the suggestion of a confused demeanour. A great analyst of human nature has indeed remarked that crimes attended by the most unusual circumstances are those which are in truth most easy of detection. But this is on the supposition that the inquiry is confided to men capable of appreciating the subtler and stranger moods of the human mind. To the ordinary policeman the unusual is simply the incomprehensible. The coarsest of motives and the rudest of means are all that occur as possible to his imagination. The unhappy part of our system is that it leaves the collection of infor mation 011 which everything depends to those who neglect the most important portion simply because they cannot see its significance. Under these circumstances it is at least satis factory to learn that in the Road case there is some prospect of the inquest being re-opened. Here at least there is hope that among the jury men, the counsel, and the coroner, some one may he found capable of directing the investigation into the proper channels. It is, indeed, as yet un certain whether the Court of Queen's Bench will entertain a proposition for which it is said only two precedents can be found. We may venture to think that when a dozen gentlemen to whom the constitution has confided an important duty inadvertently leave it incomplete, there should need little precedent to authorise them to resume and finish it. But if the Court of Queen's Bench be of opinion that this course is inadmissible, unless the Judges in HINLY THE EIGHTH'II OT GEORGE THE THIRD'S time thought it admissible, we must be content to hope that the case occurred to some of these judges, and that they wore leas scrupulous than ours are. But even if the inquest should in this case be per mitted to be resumed, it will be well for us to re collect that an inquest is possible only because the subject of it is death. In no other case would an inquiry before a jury into the circumstances of a crime be possible until the supposed criminal were apprehended and indicted. In every other species of offence detection depends on the irresponsible acuteness of a policeman only. It is for the pub lic to consider whether such a system is not at once the rudest, the most inefficient, and the most tyrannical which could readily be devised. It can form no part of our constitutional liberty that we should yield to the direction of a common police man functions which in every country save our own are exercised under the watchful guidance of the soundest lawyers and clearest heads which the state can find for the service.

"Twenty thousand Neapolitan troops, with 4,500 horses and 36 guns, have entered the Pontifical States. Cardinal Antonelli protested against this violation of the frontiers, and ordered the imme diate disarming of the troops. Accordingly this was done at Velletri, under the direction of the French commandant. The disarmed soldiers have been distributed amongst the differcnt provinces, and I conducted to their destination by French officers, at the expense of the Pontifical government. "M. Lamoriciere has left on leave of ten months." The following from the theatre of war is given as " Latest News" by the Petrie : "Despatches from Naples state that on Nov. 4 and 6 Sardinian transports landed troops and ar tillery at Mole di Gaet► At these dates the head quarters of the Piedmontedie army had been re moved to Lissy, a small village about three kilo- metres to the left of Trajetto. In the afternoon of the ltth, a Sardinian frigate advanced within gun shot of the great circular fort on the south outside the port of Gaeta. This frigate, which was merely sent on a reconnoissance, did not fire ; she ascer tained that the fort was in a good state, and well armed. The Neapolitan. were constructing re doubts and other fortifications to bar the stratege tical road on the sea coast, and prevent the Pied mo ntese from marching forwards from Mola. In dependently of the troops charged to defend the position of Trajetto, the Neapolitans had two corps d'sroset outside of Gaeta, one at Fondi, and the other at Itri. Notwithstanding these movements it was thought that nothing would be decided with regard to the continuance of operations until Vic tor Emmanuel's return from Naples." ANNEXATION OF THE TWO SICILIES TO SARDINIA. DEPARTURE OF GARIBALDI FOR THE ISLAND OF CAPRERA. (IT FICIIII•111111 113401•111.) (now ous owx oosaiwroxwow.) NAPLES, FRIDAY. Garibaldi left this morning for the island of Caprera. The last visit that he paid was to Admiral Mundy. The following telegram has been roceived by Mr. Reuter : NAPLES, Nov. 9. Garibaldi took leave of his Majesty to-day and afterwards left for the island of Caprern, over whelmed with the most striking demonstrations of sympathy from the King, the staff officers, and the army in general. TURIN, FRIDAY. The Opinione publishes the following despatch, dated Naples, Bth inst. : "On the entry of the King into Naples Gari baldi sat at his side in the carriage. " To-day, at 11 am., Garibaldi, accompanied by the ministry, formally presented to the King the result of the plibiscite. His Majesty received them in the Throne-room. The Minister Signor Conforti addressed the King thus :—' Sire,—The Neapolitan people, asembled in their electoral comitio, have proclaimed you King by an immense majority. Nine millions of Italians are uniting themselves to the other provinces which your Majesty governs with so much wisdom, verifying your solemn pro.. mise that Italy should belong to the Italians.' "The King replied in a few expressive words. "The deed of annexation was then drawn up, the dictatorship ceased, and the ministry resigned. The enthusiasm of the people continues." TURIN, FILMAY.

IFILMF ,RESS FROM PARIS. (TROY OUR OWN CORRIRPONDRWL) PARIS, FRIDAY EYNON°. Although some telegrams still speak of a duipsrate resistance as being resolved on at Gaeta, the impression is strong to-day that Francis IL will take to flight before many hours are over, and leave a general behind him to settle the terms of the capitulation. The French government, it is said, now strongly advisee him to go away. Never theless, it is doubted whether he will accept the proffered hospitality of a French ship. The non recognition of the blockade gives him plenty of choice, and there are Rimier', Austrian, and Spanish vessels in the port of Gaeta. The astonish ing intelligence telegraphed yesterday from the Daily Netts, that a large Neapolitan army had been disarmed in the Roman States, is now confirmed by a telegram from Rome, which gives the number as 20,000 instead of 15,000, and adds the fact that it was Cardinal An tonelli who "protested" against their violation of the Roman frontier. People are puzzled to account for this incident, for it might have been supposed that the Papal government would look with all favour upon the army of Francis 11. What is the meaning of " distributing " the disarmed troops among the Roman provinces under the care of French officers ? Are they to be a reserve when called upon, their arms being kept in the mean time ? The French Minister at War has ordered all soldiers forming part of the depots, regiments, and battalions stationed in Rome to go out forthwith, and the Lyons Railway is daily crowded with de tachments en route. General de Goyon has asked, for an additional regiment of cavalry. Both the evening government journals deny the truth of the statement that Russian officers and soldiers tcok part in the construction of the Chinese forte lately taken by the French and English troops. The Pays, giving extraordinary emphasis to its con tradiction, says :-Ist. That the story takes its rise in most unjust prejudice ; 2nd. That the well known fairness of the Russian government renders it improbable ; and 3rd. That the Pays, from private information, known it to be untrue. The Prelim says, of the proposed liberal measures in Venetia : A liberal oonatitution for Venice, under the Austrian riyinu, or even under Austrian patronage, has at all times appeared to us a difficult problem. But it seems to be • pure and simple impossibility. In this point of view, with out denying the good intentions of Austria, we think there is reason to regret the project, because it betrays • desire to retain • province which in all human probability must escape from her hands, and therefore shows that she does not understand the exigencies of the situation. The Bourse maintains its finances. The Route closed at 70fr. for cash, and 70fr. 15c. for account, with a rise in each case of be. Mobilier rose 7fr. 60c. The Eastern Railway rose 3fr. 75c. ; Northern fell sfr., but the other lines were a trifle higher. ITALY. (FIOX • GENOA, Nov. 5. In view of the perils which the development of Italy saunot but bring the mobilization of the National Guard has been one of the wisest stops which could have beau taken. It renders must valuable assist ance to the government, by relieving tho regular troupe of garrison duty, inures the nation at large to military habits, and by making the populations of the newly cemented states acquainted with each other, contributes to the fusion of interests and sympathies among this long divided people. Tus cans garrison Milan ; Turin sends her battalions to Florence ; and Genoa now rejoices in the presence of the National Guard of Como and Lodi in Lom bardy. About ten thousand of these civilians, most of them gentlemen, the rest artisans and shop keepers, are thus mobilized ; and for several weeks together are set to full soldier's duty, mount guard in the forts and batteries, and sleep at night iu barracks. Hard as this life is, and unfitted as are the majority by their previous education to encounter it, I have heard of no backalidings. The Lombards attracted general admiration when they came iu here a few days ago by their soldier-like bearing and the precision of their movements. They had marched thirty miles in two days, and through some strange neglect in the commissariat department had been twenty-tour hours with out food ; but no grumblinga were heard. Never was advice more acted upon than Louis Napoleon's celebrated exhortation to the Italiaus : Be soldiers to-day that you may be free citizens of a great state to-morrow.' Whether be is quite satisfied at seeing it so literally fulfilled they do not trouble themselves to inquire. As event upon event cousolidates the Italian kingdom, Turin is losing her reverence for the oracles of the Tuile ries. The Oeinione, a ministerial organ, contains to-day a spirited refutation of the statement which had gone abroad that the King's entry into Naples had been postponed in deference to foreign counsels. The delay was solely owing to Victor Emmanuel's own determination not to set foot in the capital of Southern Italy until the Bourbon standard had ceased to float ou an inch of the territory which hailed him as its deliverer. In the samearticle an equally decided tone is held in reference to the French admiral's reported interference for the protection'of Gaeta. " If circumstances should necessitate an attack on the part of our naval forces, the foreign fleet which opposed it would be guilty of an act of interference which not even the rights acquired by France to the gratitude of Italy could justify." From trustworthy accounts It is positive that the King's reception as he proceeded along the Neapolitan provinces was enthusiastic in the ex treme. But it was not alone the voice of joy and exultation which greeted the soldier-king through out his progress. As he rode into hernia, smoking nuns, a population still terror-stricken from the entrees committed by the Bourbon troops flying before Cialdiui met his gaze, and he was surrounded by crowds who clamoured for revenge, One poor wretch, in the dress of a shepherd. whose dwelling had been burnt down, his only brother killed, and his children driven as prisoners into Capua, forced his way up to the King s saddle bow, and brandishing a poniard with frantic ges tures, exclaimed, "With this I had sworn to kill Francis If., but when I heard the Italian King was coming I determined to give it up to him, that he might do me justice." One of the otliisini of the King's staff took the dagger from the man's hands to appease him ; and the cortir passed on. But this, incident, in which many would see only the subject for an effective picture, is deeply suggestive, as the impersonation, so to speak, of the Italian revolution, and the part borne ni it by Sardinia. The dagger was a symbol of the anarchy and bloodshed a long series of mis government had prepared for Italy, the fierce out break of which has only been averted by the timely interposition of Victor Emmanuel, whose name is a guarantee for liberty and right. Of local news we have little. Count Cavour was here on Saturday, in his capacity of Minister of Marine, to witness the launch of the Duke of Genoa, a large screw steam-frigate. He throws as much earnestness and ability into this as into any other branch of his multifarious duties. French con tractors have told me that his acquaintance with the technicalities of naval architecture and the recent inventions or experiments connected there with is something marvellous. He escorted the young princes Humbert and Amodio on this occasion. They are fine spirited, courteous lads, carefully educated. :Jai though as yet kept entirely aloof from public life are thoroughly imbued with military ardour, and pant to emulate their father's courage in the field. Humbert, the heir-apparent, is now sixteen. I was told this summer by one of his house hold that he was quite carried away by enthusiasm for Garibaldi, and professed he desired nothing more than to wear a red shirt, shoulder a musket, and follow him through the campaign. We have been some time happily rid of the Irish prisoners ; and the remaining captives, concerning whose unjustifiable spoliation such complaints have gone forth to the world, begin to be more tractable. .8:o universally were those accusations credited, that a Belgian correspondent of —, one of the first banking-houses here, writing to request that a small sum of money should be paid to one of the prisoners, particularly enjoined that it should be transmitted to him with all secrecy, as it was well known that their personal property was not respected. The sole foundation for this belief was the simple fact, that a lot of the ruffians who fought under Lamoricffiv were made to disgorge their ill-gotten booty, wrung, without a doubt, from the towns and villages they had pillaged on their march to Ancona. One party of these worthies was searched by a detachment of mobilized national guards, the commanding officer of which is well known to me ; and I have it on his personal assurance that large quantities of watches and other valuables were found upon them. There was one man in particu lar who attracted immediate attention from the enormous size of his boots, and was discovered to owe that peculiarity to the numerous layers of gold and silver, beaten out into thin plates, with which they were lined. As these men had not been through an enemy's country these were clearly not spoils of war, but gave an ug confirmation to the complaints made by the Pop e s subjects of the pillage aud law lessness which the presence of his mercenary troops invariably brought upon them. • THE • - - P.

One young midshipman of good family was brought back from the front a prisoner, and all leave refused hint from the ship ; but he was a young fellow of spirit, he waited for a dark night, took all hi■ clothe■ off, and waiting for a favourable moment when no one was looking, and though the ship was some two miles from shore, he dropped into the water and reached the laud iu safety, mounted a red shirt and a revolver, and was off to the front again, to be, however, handed over to his cap tain, cud be is now a prisoner ou board the London. It is of such stuff an this that our naval heroes are formed, and, fortunately for the culprit, Admi ral Mundy is likely to deal very leniently with any charge of this sort, for he has a fellow-feeling for acts of daring.

The Bohemia» Girl is is rehearsal at Her Majesty's Theatre. A. correspondent of the Athencrum writes from Munich :—" Apropos of King Ludwig, some more of his peculiarities are exciting remark. He is much averse to ladles wearing veils in the streets, and frequently Mope thou who have their veils down to adjust them properly. The other day he was seen talking with three belies in the street which bears his name, and in which be takes a daily walk, lifting up the veil of each one and laying it on the top of her bonnet iu a way suiting the artistic fancies of the patron of Schwanthaler and the friend of Thorwaldsen. He then let them proceed, and, of course, all let their veils down as soon as ho was out of sight. One would think that in a town so little renowned for beauty, the wearing of a veil might be considered a merit, and that the rash profaner of it would often be punished by the sight of a second Meduses bead. It seems King Ludwig once exposed him- self to such a fate. He lifted the veil of an old lady, looked at her face, and dropped it instantly, saying, ' Madam, you are right.' " VISIT Or His ROYAL RIOHNEDI PRINCE ALFRED To BRlXTol.—Yesterday, we had one of thou flying visits from royalty which, in these railway times, may be ocesudorially looked for by cities and towns having within them termini of those "roads of iron." His Royal Higbee+. Prince Alfred, the second son of oar gracious sovereign, who has been, as all the world is doubtkes aware, on his travels beyond sea, arrived at Plymouth yesterday in the Euryalus, sod, quite as anxious, no doubt, as the mast ordinary of sailor boys to embrace his paroeta, be lost no time in making his way ward. A compartment of a first-elms amage having been secured for him atid his tutor, he started fmin Plymouth by the • I..dey vales... train, end pawing over the South Devon and and Exeter lines, reached the Great Western station at 2.4 p.m. No notice of the honour in store for the old city having been given, the airival wee not anticipated by any of our functionaries, and beyond a dozen or two stragglers on the platform, and one or,two to whom —ourselves--the as to electric telegraph had disclosed the secret, there was no one there to meet or greet him. His royal highness, who was attired in the undress uniform of a British midshipman, looked exceedingly well. He hies an open and intelligent countenance,_ which at once wins for him the seaport of the beholder, and the cour teous and even elegant manner in which he ac- knowledged the recognitions of the very few who had sufficient good breeding to raise thoir bats to him, showed that ho combines with the frankness of the sailor the polish of a young English gentleman. At 2.30 the train again started on its way, bearing with it the good wishes of all who were in the secret, for its speedy swivel at its destes make, and the safety of the gallant young prince. At Bath no one seemed aware of his royal Mabee*** Prcieuee t excepting some half.aeore of his fellow-travellers (chiefly a the gentler sex), who, not having been auoc,esful in the attempt at Briatol, quitted their carriages for the nonce just to have "one little peep."—Bristol Merry . ry.
