Toosioni—AleniAL lA. Oft. ... . Mew" L. lea LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 2. TO OUR RZADIRR SPORTING INTELLIGINCE. A !ate edition of the &p►ras is published every evening during the racing season, containing the results of the day's most Foa • statesman of large grasp commend us to Sir JOHN PARDIGTON. A PALMEISTON or • Deasy is content to guide the affairs of Great Britain, but Sir JOHN'S extensive view takes in the politics of the whole Anglo-Saxon race. It is by no means certain whether he thinks that some British right of tutelage did not survive Owens I ll.'s recognition of American independence. At any rate, he feels it Lis duty not to refuse to the people of the United States the benefit of his counsel, and, when that fails, the unasked active interference of his friends, as far as circumstances will allow. It was not always so. It is only very lately that American politics have become attractive to tho Tory party. While the first States men of Europe, the Ministers of Kings and Em perors, were thinking it no stretch of candour or magnanimity to acknowledge publicly and repeatedly the grandeur of the spectacle of American free dom and prosperity, Sir JOHN PAK INGTON'S friends found no opportunity of noticing the great experiment of which they have suddenly become students. Sir Jour, however, unfolds the lesson of the crisis. The subject, he intimates, has been much confused, and is still greatly misunderstood. Most people am still in the dark about the causes of the war and tho questions at issue; but he sees all clearly and pronounces with confidence. " What," ho asks, "is the principle contended for ? It is not " slavery, thou;li many people fondly think it is." On this point he seems very anxious. The difference of North and South in respect of freedom and slavery is evidently more important than is agreeable to him. We might ask why Sir JOHN . K explanation was necessary f How it came about that common opinion needed to be cor rected on this point, and to be corrected by a PANINOTON I The difficulty with Sir Joins is just this, that ho cannot wipe out the history of the last nine years. There is not a man or woman in England within reach of a newspaper who does not know that the limitation of the area of slavery was the ground on which the party that carried Mr. LINCOLN into power united, and that a determination not to submit to that policy was in the fullest sense the cause of Southern secession. This is not an opinion, the probability of which might be strengthened or weakened by assent or dissent of numbers. It is a fact of history which no denials can obliterate. Having disposed of this preliminary question by deciding in the teeth of the facts, Sir Join PAILIHOTON gives his own explanation of the cause of the American war :—" It was the struggle of " democracy. It was his sincere belief that the " real actuating motive of the present war was the " shame the American Government felt that the " sorbd should witness the disruption and the " fame of that great experiment of democratic " government embodied in the constitution of the " United States." In this peones Sir JOHN PAIINOTOIII has blundered much nearer than would have been expected to • truth which it was morally impossible he should discover. As nobody denies that the Cabieet et Washington is entirely depon ent on the people for men and money, and as it is supplied with both on • scale never before known in any country of the world, we may safely substitute " people of the " Free States" for "American Government" in the sentence quoted. And thus amended it will represent the state of the case with tolerable accuracy. There is a generous shame which noble natures feel when the progress of their age is Yenned, jest as these is a malignant delight which the false and petty feel when others fall short of high aims once pro fessed. There are stages in the onward march of humanity from which it is shameful to recede, and if the penile of North America proved un worthy of their glorions inheritance there is not a single hope of mankind that would not be dimmed and diminished. It is not so, however. Half a million of freemen in arms in the Northern States of the Union, and unheard-of sacrifices cheer fully sustained, attest the strength of that generous feeling with which Sir Joie is forbidden by every sentiment of Toryism to sympathise. Those armed citizens, he perceives, are defending the corunitu• Lion of the United States, a constitution human, and therefore capable of amendment, but one under which more liberty has been enjoyed with order than under any other form of government in the world. l' , rfectly understanding that they are defending it against the advances of a rival constitution based on slavery, he says, " That " being the cause of the struggle, he could not " but heartily wish that the war would be speedily " put an end to ;" and all Toryiam spoke in that sentence. Others may have calculated the chances of the war, and in the interest of the Free States themselves or of humanity wished for its termination. But Sir JOHN Psavvoroir desires that it may be stopped because it is waged by the North for a free constitution; stopped by the voice of united Europe, itself so orderly, tranquil, and happy under monarchies great and small, if no other means avail. As Sir Jl , kiN PsioNortis does not conceal that his American politics have been formed for English use, we cannot be sorry that he has at length shown his true colours. W.! see that in taro great contest abroad he rallies to the cause of slavery. And the moral he draws for his own pulp at house is firmer union in defence of every political, social, and religious monopoly. He raises= alarm of democracy ; but there is something older and more terrible than democracy in the United States that disquiets Toryism—society built on the modern foundations of equal inheritance and equal laws. There have been signs that Sir JOHN PAKINGTON . B party would as willingly govern by an ignorant and brutal democratic majority, as long if they could safely count on it, as by that other despotism, an oligarchy. None appeal so readily to the pentane of • mob, none deride more heartily the pretensions of a claim to be admitted merely because it is reasonable. They have, however, • part to play, • destiny to fulfil, and we cannot but think its character is vividly illustrated by Sir Jolts PAIINGTON'S speeches. The American con• stitution, however, is as far beyond the reach of his ill-wishes, u American freedom is beyond his sympathies. However this war may end, that at least will remain the fundamental law of the Anglo-Saxon race beyond the Atlantic. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER► 2, 1861. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Mawr-us:Pmts.—Tile elections here for town coun cillors, in pies of the third of that body retiring by rota ties. took place yesterday, end were of a more than usually spirited and stirring character.

ROME. ROME, Ocr. 28. The marriage of the celebrated composer Lists with the Princess Wittgenstein was to have come oil on Tuesday. The event was looked forward to with extraordinary interest, on account of the diffi culties which the parties have had to encounter. It is well known that the Princess Wittgenstein has been already married, and that her husband still lira. The court of Rome had, however, declared the first marriage void, and given the princess per mission to take another husband. All the prepara tions for the nuptial fete on Tuesday were made, but just at the last moment, in consequence, as it is supposed, of an anonymous denunciation, a fresh impediment has been raised, and the promcssi sposi have been prohibited from fulfilling their engage ment—at least until further order.

This being All Saints•day—one of the strictest holidays in the year—is nearly a dies non, politi cally speaking, and the Bourse and public oboes are clowl. The Temps, the only evening journal which ap pears, has the following paragraph at the head of its leading column M. RicasOli baring, as we learn from our Turin corres pondence, last all hope in the direction of Rome, and not by any means abounding in the ideas of those who would concentrate the immediate efforts of Italian patriotism upon Venice, is said to be about to devote his attention ex clusively to the organisation of the kingdom of Italy with ita present boundaries. In other words, be adopts the new programme of the Patric. IS this programme practicable! We doubt it much. True, it is hazardous to think of Venice. True, it is impossible to go to Rome without the permission of the French government. But it appears to ns still more impossible that any Italian ministry can live without advancioj—aan organise and administer Italian unity before that unity is made. The court-martial on the Versailles carabineers has naturally excited extraordinary interest in military circles. It will be remembered that the Moniker made very light of the affair for which they were tried, and complained of the exaggeration of foreign journals on the subject. It now comes out, however, that a large body of the carabineers were guilty of a military riot of a highly repre hensible character, and one showing that very lax notions of discipline must prevail in that favoured corps. As many as sixty men drew their swords and attacked a guard post, and false patrols paraded the streets of Versailles, pretending to be on duty, in order to support their riotous comrades and strike terror into the artillery, of whom they were jealous. It is true that the affair began in a drunken row as some soldiers were coming from a ball, but it was in evidence that a bad feeling existed between the carabineers and the artillery, on account of the superior attainments of the latter, and the fact that the carabineers were a picked corps, which had never seen any actual service. The artillery were in the habit of calling the carabineers gendarmes," "useless," and,worst term of oppro brium of all, "English !" It is a curious, fact show ing the necessity for indulgence under circumstances of military crimes, that out of so many delinqueuta the authorities could only collect prinal facie evidence against six individuals, and that the captain reporter (judge advocate) was of opinion that there was no C. 140 against them. The Minister-at-War, however, insisted on the trial going on ; but the court-martial acquitted every one of them, and the men left the court in triumph, throwing them- I selves into the arms of their friends, and adjourn ing for a jolli fi cation. The Temps warmly applauds the French govern ment for accepting the proposal :of the Swiss Federal Council to refer the affair of Ville-la- Grand to a mired cootumisan. I hear and believe that the Emperor, being convinced that K Thouvenel hadgoue too Estrin peremptorily exacting an indemnity, personally interfered and insisted upon the present solution. The commissioners on both sides are to be persons not iu any way con nected with the locality in which the affray oc curred. If the evidence shall bear out the very clear statement of the Swiss government, it will be quite plain that France is not the aggrieved party.

The Roman question is now the great pre-occu patiou of the Italians. Everything relatmg to it excites to the utmost the public interest. Till the present moment it was merely a political question ; it was considered as a business to be left only in the hands of the minister of foreign affairs, and to be concluded with diplomatical notes and de spatches. But the signs of the times are changing, and if I am not mistaken a new religious interest is growing very fast in Italy. People now begin to talk about religious affairs as matters which positively are relative to their own conscience, and which must be settled by themselves. The pamphlets of the famous ex-Jesuit Padre Passaglia, printed in Florence by the publisher Le Meunier have had au enormous success. They have been sold by thousands, they are everywhere read and commented on. The first book which produced a similar impression on the public mind was that of Monsignor Liverani, on the Popedom. But of it it was said, the book is written by a man who had been always near Pio IX., who is merely a narrator of clerical scandals and anecdotes relative to the court of Rome ; all its success must therefore be attributed to the name and the position of the author. The same cannot be said of the simple ex-Jesuit, a mere professor in the university of Rome. His pamphlets enter more decidedly into the heart of the (pestles. They talk of the right of the Italian nation to possess Rome ; they treat of the tem poral power and the authority of the Pope, and so on. It is the same starting point whence Luther cummenceiL How far the Padre Paaaaglia is going, and where he will stop, we do not yet know. Bat what we know certainly is this—that Padre Pas- Begin' was considered the first theologian of the court of Rome. He was charged with the delicate and difficult miasiou of writing some of the most important bulls which Pio IX. has ever _published. The last (which ho was nut able to finish) was destined to ge a confutation of all modern heresies. This is the man to whom Pio IX. had confided sae dentate a charge ; it is the same whose first pamphlet has been condemned by the Commimione dell' Indies. Perhaps all the last pamphlets which he has published, and is going to pub lish, will be condemned in odium °uteri: ; and in this coati Pio IX. will be obliged to condemn several of his own bulls, and amongst them that of the "lunnacolata coucezione," written by the same author. When it became known to Padre Passaglia that the anonymous pamphlet, "Pro Causes Italien," was condemned, he wrote to the Pope to inform him who was its author. After that he went to Rome, to present himself to the Sacra Congregazione dell' Indic*. He asked only that, according to the toolesdastal laws, he should be allowed to defend all he had written, declaring himself ready to accept the judgment and penalties that might be inflicted according to the laws of the Curia Romana and of the Santo Ufficio. The answer to such a declaration was an order given by Pio IX. to put Padre Passaglia into the prisons of the Santo 11fficio. The house of Mrs. Foljambe itn Englishwoman converted to catholicism by assaglia), where ho then concealed himself, was immediately surrounded. The Pope's sbirri came in, took all the papers of Pasigiglia, who in the meantime was able to go into the next apartment, belonging to Count Spode, where nobody had any idea of going to search for him. The Pope's sbirri, after the perquirizione, went out, but some of them remained near the house on the look out for what might happen. Several large and gala carriages of the Roman aristocracy came that way to ask about Padre Passaglia, when Mrs. Foljambe went out in her carriage, and at her side there was seated a tall man, resembling Padre Passaglia, and dressed in his clothes, and the sbirri followed the carriage u best they could. By this time the Padre Passaglia, who had left his ecclesiastical garments and taken those of a friend, went out in one of the gala car riages. At five o'clock next morning he left his friend's house, and found awaiting him one of the Roman barrocci and three men, apparently pea same, with long beards and large mantles, who were to be his companions on the road. They offered him a large mantle like their own, and away they went out by Porta Portese at full speed. When they were at some ten miles' distant* from Rome they took off their beards, and Padre Passaglia found himself with three of his dearest Mends. They went on for some ten nuke more, and then found awaiting them at a certain place three horses and two men, armed from head to foot. To these the Padre•Passaglia was confided, whom he was to follow on horseback. All at once they leaped over the gioncate (a kind of Roman hedge), and Padre Passaglia, not familiar with that sort of operation, asked the unknown men how he ought to manage with his own horse. But they answered, " Don't care about it ; let the beast take care of itself and of you." And on they went jump- Mg and plunging about, and Padre Passaglia trying to imitate the not very comfortable operation. Per haps he thought it was not so easy a matter after all to fly from the hands of the venerable Santo Ufficio. But suddenly they halted, and the men informed the Padre Passaglia, " Now we are on Italian ground." He fell on his knees, returning thanks to God for his deliverance, then to the two men who bad been his companions. and who now re turned to that which is not yet Italian ground. Padre Passaglia is now at Florence, on his way to Turin. Here several of his friends came to wel come him, and the question whether it would not be well to establish a religious 'review was mooted, and to begin a religions agitation in Italy. The idea has struck several people at the same time, and some of the ablest clergymen of Italy are going to take an active part in it. PORTUGAL THE LISBON MASS FOR COUNT CAVOUR. Our Lisbon correspondent writes :—On the 22nd of October, at half-past nine a.m., the mass and solemn office for the repose of the soul of the late Count Carour took place in the Church of Santo Antonio da Se. On the façade of the temple, that is, above the principal portal , was the legend in Portuguese, " Pray for the soul of Count Cavour; " and on either side were displayed the Portu guese and Italian banners. All the other doors were hung with black. Above the aide of the high altar were suspended the French, English, Brazilian and Swedish flags, and in the middle the Portuguese and Italian. The doors of the church were literally besieged by the public. There was a crowd as early as 7 a. m. ; and when the doors were opened many ladies were obliged to retire, not finding seats. All the ministers, the Municipal Chamber, fifty-three deputations from public asso ciations, the President of the Chamber of Peers, the civil governor of Lisbon, many officers of the army and navy, a large number of the higher public servants, and other persons of dis tinction completely filled that part of the church destined for their accommodation. More than half of the church was crowded to overflowing by the public. The orchestra, directed by &rubor Cussoul, jun., was composed of more than forty instrumentalists ; the music of the masa was by Jomelli, and was brilliantly executed. The artists who took part were Faschini, On* ciardi, Della Costa, and Baragli, from the Royal Opera-house of San Carlos, and they offered their services gratuitously. The music of the Dies ills Benedivitus, and other pieces, was composed ex pressly for the occasion by titenhor Cmson4 jun. A funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Joni Castello- Branco. This gave satisfaction to all the auditors. The question of the mass for Count Cavour has roused all the old animosities of the Miguelites and Constitutionalists • the ceremony was entirely prohibited by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, yet the popular party moved heaven and earth to carry out their views. Finding that there was no parish church at their orders, the committee pre vailed upon the Municipal Chamber of Lisbon to place at their disposal the church of Santo Antonio, which is private property, and there the long vexed question of the mass for Cavour found a solution. The reports respecting the results of the late vintage are everywhere very favourable. The vine disease, which has endured about eight years, ap pears at last to mitigate its virulence. There are now prospects that Portuguese wines will resume their place in the English market, both as regards price and quality. DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR WIGAN. TEN PERSONS KILLED AND FIVE MITRED. The long dark catalogue of fatal colliery accidents has received • most melancholy addition. A colliery en plosion, causing the deaths of no less than ten persons, and the serious and probably fatal injury of five others, took place yesterday morning, at the Prince Albert pit, Shoving ton, belonging to Masers. J. Tayleure and Co., a colliery situated about four miles from Wipe, and at which the Arley mine is worked. The pit is about 260 yards deep, and on the south aide of the workings twenty men were employed. At half-past nine yesterday morning the poor fellows were startled by a loud explosion of fire-damp, which seemed to take place nearer the shaft than where most of them were working. Many were severely scorched, buts Wee number succeeded in escaping the fire, and pushed on to the pit eye. In this effort many were successful, but ten others, some without • burn upon them, and others with faces scorched beyond recognition, were met by the after-damp, which struck theindown one hyose. Information of the explosion was soon conveyed above ground, and whilst the struggle for life was taking place below, Mr. Makinsec, the manager, and Mr. Close, the fireman, were descending the shaft and making the necessary preparations for ono , minim the workings. At the bead of • searching party, the two men we have mentioned were shortly pushing their way up the south side of the mine. About one half of the men were met as the party proceeded, some few unscathed but others frightfully disfigured. All who were alive were got 'out and provided with medical assistance, and the search for those who, it was feared, were now beyond human aid, wee continued with vigour. Soon the bodies of four were discovered; but the choke-damp prevented the remainder being reached till half-past three in tho afternoon. Not one of the dead men was found in his working pls.. All were making their way oat when struck down, and two, • father and his son, had evidently mistaken the rood. The spot where the gas WY ignited would be about 300 yards from the pit shaft, and the furthest bodies would be about 400 yards away. The scene aa the bodies were brought to the surface WAS most heartrending. The low moaning in which the grief of bereaved mothers and wine found vent was sufficient to melt the stoutest heart, seconded, as it wee, by the sorrow too deep for words of many a strong man in the throve near the pit. The bodies themselves presented a most appalling spectacle—identification now being, in some instances, almost impossible. The gas is said to have ignited at the open lamp of the under-fireman, Riding. Riding, Howcroft, and Ellison, three men who were on the spot at the time, are all living. The damp appears to hive come from a goof, and to have entered the drawing road, where it exploded by a hole in the roof. Another circum stance which has tended to deepen the gloom hanging over the neighbourhood, is the death of Ann Reed, wife of Thomas Reed, who is stated to be burnt. She bad been to Wigan to market, and hail left home in the morning beiges the accident. On her return she is said to have died •kW minutes after the information was conveyed to her. Mr. Tayleure was at the colliery during the greater Toll of the day, and Mr. Dagliah, of Wi,-„-au, attended to the sufferers. A WOMAN OF EIGHTY WALKING MOM LONDON TO CORNWALL.--Oa Mooday, an old womae, mimed Puce, of Penzance, applied to the mayor, at the Ouiidlall, Exeter, for &mistime,.
