A !ate e.litiun of the RepreasispubTished every eveni,eg during. the racing seseao, containing the m•nits ut the day's races. utotem Circular Despatch to the diplomatic representatives of the Kingdom of Italy at the courts of Europe, is in effect an appeal to that grand tribunal of last resort—the public opinion of the civilized world. It is an authori tative, explicit, and complete statement of the difficulties which in the Neapolitan provinces have distorted and disturbed the national will, and arrested the pacification of the country. The MINIsTI.U. of Italy confronts the actual position of areas with a steadfast and unshrink ing courage, and with the resolute frankness of a man who has faith in his cause, and goes out to meet his enemies with his vizor up and a brow as bright as truth. There is no "shadow of turning" in that energetic purity of conscience which spurns all subterfuges and abhors all deceits. It was time that Europe should be taught the full significance of the fact, that the horrors which are perpetrated under the flag of the &wallow and the express sanction of the successor of Sr. Peva, are "the hope of that reactionary party which " has set its citadel in Rome." This, indeed, was notorious enough ; wo may do the authors and abettors of all these atrocities the justice to admit that their central operations have been conducted with a shammies* audacity in the open street, in the broad noonday, before thousands of eye-wit nesses, under the tutelary auspices of the French General, in face of the army that protects the spiritual authority and " independence " of the HOLT FATHER. The " brigands" psas out of the gates of Rome with muskets and daggers supplied from the arsenals of his Homilies with passports which defy the curiosity of French sentinels, with definite inetruc tions, with avowed designs. Dos General DI Gown presume for a moment to lay his finger upon one of theme pious agents of the Borne/is league returning red-handed from the holy war, or going out upon a cannibel errand with a royal note of hand for the wages of blood ? Next day the GENERAL apologises for his indiscretion, bends his knee at the Vatican, and vows that, like his Impe rial master, he is ever the very humble and de voted servant of " the Church." " Our dear " General" is in favour again, and M 01114102 DI MERoDI. smiles with mixed compassion and con tempt at these airs of patronage and antics of seal in the perplexed but well-meaning Cam mander-in-Chief. Such is the sorry farce Francs is condemned to play. France, the liberator, the annexe?, the enslaver of Italy, because that famous "omnipotence" which M. Da LA Gossowirreas worships, is a rod of iron which the Court of Rome can taint like • reed. It is really the work of Austria, and of the clients of Austria, that the soldiers of Imperial France, transformed into soldier, of the Port, are doing at Rome. It is with his face towards Vienna that FRANCE% 11. prays ; though it is • French General that the Court of Rome uses and despise and the ruler of France that it flatters and detests. All this, however, is the affair of our neigh bours : let them look to it. Nay, let them look at home, where the same comedy is being played at the cost of self-respect, justice, and common sense. There we find one semi-official paper highly eulogising Baron Itteasou's despatch, and another at the same time instructed to declare that Baron RlrLsou's despatch will not "modify " the attitude "of Francis at Rome. Whom, ea may ask, is this eternal singsong supposed to dupe? Not the Court of Rome, it should seem ; for the estimation in which the policy of the Em pesos is he'd at the Vatican is no secret ; the fiery coruminations and sarcastic blasphemies of French pe are the echoes of distant thunder, and the reflected glare of lightnings afar. is it foreign Governments, or " the Catholic world", or liberal Europe that this running duet of two voices is supposed to charm—the voice of the defender of the Papacy, the voice of the champion of Italy I It is vain to seek to penetrate a mystery which is probably no spier, at all. The Second Empire is afraid of " the Church," to whose hands it en butted ten years ago the training of Young France. The Church knows its own mind, and cleaves to one clear purpose—the Empire halts and haggles between two. And yet as Protestants it is not for us to regret this protracted and tedious my ...it cation. For one result at least is certain. y day's delay in the settlement of the Roman question— every day's visible communion of the Papal Power with Austria and the Boonnosx, and the bandits and assassins in their par—springs a mine under that towering fabric of corruption, and is worth an army of schismati,3 to the cause of spiritual eman cipation. We do not say to the Protestant cause. Italy may not become Protestant, in a Lutheran or Anglican sense ; but she will learn to laugh at the terrors of excommunication, and to prosper as Rag land has prospered under pastors and masters of her own. Radix amens, fructuA delcia. Italy is learning a bitter lesson, but the fruit of such ex perience is freedom. As Protestants, then, we should be eintent to counsel patience to Italy. But as Englishmen, and heirs to hard-earned 'liberties, as lovers of right and justice, we pro test against the flagrant desecration of the flag of France ; against the intolerable pretension and I THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1861. the transparent cynicism of driving a hard bar gain with Italy by rrotecting the enemies of Italy at Rome. It may be a question if the Second Empire gains in influence half so much as it loses in reputation by an intervention which began, con tinues, and must end, in false pretences and bad faith. These aro considerations, however, which Baron RR:mm.4 in his remarkable despatch, touches by implication 014—perhaps, we ought to say, involuntarily suggests. It is to the disturbed condition of the Neapolitan provinces that he ad dresses himself with characteristic boldness and unreserve. The clerical and reactionary party, which appears, by the bye, to count among its adepts a clique of " Anglican " smugglers, asaerta that the brigands are the entire Neapolitan population, and that nothing less than a Pied moutons reign of tenor keeps thousands of loyal subjects of the BorasoNs quiet. To this gross delusion Baron IticasoLi opposes the plain fact that the state of siege is not proclaimed in those provinces ; the liberty of the press has not been restricted ; the liberty of the subject has re mained entire. The Neapolitans talk, write, move to and fro, meet together, without let or hindrance. They are in the full enjoyment of con stitutional rights and liberties ; they have arms in their hands, and how do they use then, ? Why, to hold the B4WRIAIN mercenaries in check, and to drive the Papal gangs across the frontier. No doubt there are adherents of the old monarchy, as a hun dred years ago there were in England, as there are still in France and Spain, and these " Royalists" are not to be confounded with their instruments. In the Neapolitan States brigandage is the natural growth of Bourbonisni, and the favourite ally of the throne and the altar in distress. It wan honesty, virtue, and intelligence that the BOUR 134)Nri hated, not ignorance and crime. So it is not to honesty and virtue, but to ignorance and crime that the BouROUNI4 over the border appeal. And the Court of Rome, which has declared its own incompatibility w'th civilization, naturally favours barbarism. Nevertheless, robbery is robbery, murder is mur der, though it swear by all the Saints, and though the Hon- Farsza has absolved and blessed it. The Italian Government is responsible to civiliza tion for rooting it out. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND. (awls OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) KILLARNEY, THUSADAY, AM:OMT V. We have now reached the final stage of Queen Victoria's progress through her loyal kingdein of Kerry. Her Majesty has lionoure4 the residences of the two magnates of the district with her pre sence, has explored the marvellous beauties of the Killarney Lakes, has listened to the echoes among the mountains, has huuted—although she did nut catch—the stag, and now, whilst I write, the con stabulary are mustering under any window, to clear the railway statiou for the departure of the royal train. The Queen has visited many more im portant places than Killarney, and has been greeted by larger crowds than the mountain and lake dis trict affords; but "1 wager a ducat" her Majesty has never had a reception more loyal, more genuinely courteous, more re spectful, or more affectionate, than that with which she has been greeted everywhere here since her arrival in the Lake district. I believe—indeed I have reason to know—that her Majesty has been much pleased, and has expressed herself so, with everything that has wearied, and with the demeanour of everyone, from the noblemau and gentleman who had in turns the honour of being her hosts, down to the humblest peasant who caught a glimpses of the royal cortege as it whirled along the road. In fact, the events of every successive day since the Queen arrived here has confirmed me iu the theory which I started in my first letter, namely, that the official persons about her had completely misunderstood her Majesty's wishes with respect to her reception by the people, and that her Majesty's uwu clear, good sense, and intuitive perception of what was right, would very soon alter the ridiculous Castle pro gramme. My last letter—if I remember right—although everything and everybody are in such a whirl here Si to throw one's memory a little off its balance--- left her Majesty at Killarney Holum, of which the ouly suleiequent particulars I have learnt are that she expressed the warmest approval of the attentions of her noble host and hostess, and presented the latter with a superb bracelet as a souvenir of her visit. Killarney House has now become one of the historical residences of the country, and generations to come of its inhabi tett, will, centuries hence, show with justifiable pride, the room in which the good Queen Victoria slept, the book that she signed, and, in the garden, the tree that she planted. It would be uncandid, in deed, if I did not express my opinion that Lord Castle rouse has done his work in a first-rate manner, and proved himself worthy of the high and distinguished honour which has been paid him. In the aquatic portion of his programme his lordship was most ably supported by Lis chief boatman and bugler, Stephen Spillane, Who more time once attracted the notice of the Queen and Prince Albert by his fine bugle-phying, and the perfect discipline he maintained amongst his tine, vivacious, Killarney CIIPW. From Killarney House, the Queen and party pro , needed to Mnekross, the residence of the Right Hon. CoL Llerbert, that being the second of her Majesty's appointed visits. The beauties of Muckross Abbey and of the surrounding country are familiar to every tourist ; and Colonel Herbert's tine Elizabethan house, of modern erection, is one of the moat pro minent features of the hunistape. Thither her Majesty repaired with her usual escort of Royals, commanded by Captain Grahame, and from it she departed yestenlay for her second visit to the Lake, to witness one of the greatest attractions of the locality, namely, a Killarney stag hunt. If the only incident of the day were the pursuit of the stag, I should have to say, unhappily, that that incident was a failure. But the real incidents were the immense concourse of boats, far greater than on the first day, mid the Queen's acts of gracious condescension, which at ones secured fur her Majesty the loyal affection of the people. Her Majesty came down from Muckross to the Lower Lake in Mr. Herbert's barge, and was evidently struck with pleased surprise aa she saw the almost innumerable little fleet which lay clustered under Glens to meet and to greet her. As soon as the royal barge came in sight every oar was tossed, the most enthusiastic cheering tilled the air, strains of melody echoed through the mountains from the bugles, and then a way was respectfully cleared for the passage of the boat. But the Queen had no disposition to ►brink away from the contact of the people. She sat iu her h alley in a conspicuous position, ordered it to go round and round three or four times amongst the hosts, and frequently ac knowledged with a smiling bow the loyal homage which was being tendered. So anxious was her Majesty that the people should be gratified that, seeing a crowd of country folk standing on the shore close to the water's edge, she ordered the rowers to pull close in, a hen the poor people became almost frantic in their gratitude and delight for the honour thus paid them. The two Princes were in a hand some gig pulled by six young gentlemen cadets of the Herbert family, and amply participated in the ovation which was offered to the Queen. Whilst her Majesty waited patiently for the commencement of the hunt, the far-famed atmospheric effects of the Lake scenery could be admired in all their wondrous variety. There was find, the pall of leaden grey cloud, coming straight from the Atlan tic, and pressing down upon the mountains, whilst the latter, dark awl gloomy, seemed perpetually to throw back a sullen defiance to their oppressors. Soon a break would take place in the universal grey, and the edges of the "silver lining" would appear, faintly tipping each gigantic mountain out line below with its own mild radiance. Thu break would then grow wider, the silver-edged clouds would be thrown back like the portals of a palace, and a flood of golden sunlight pouring down through the aperture, would make the moun tains look as if they could almost sing for gladness. What a picture then presented itself Here a golden peak, there an unfathomable shadow ; anon, a fanciful mist wreath would rise up spectre-like from the valley, and, winding itself gracefully round the bill tops, would assume a variety of beautiful prismatic tints, as it felt the influence of the descending sunbeam. In this Luke, there was a slight ripple of the black waters—the great depth of Killarney causes the water always to look black. The Queen sat in her boat admiring in silence the enchanting beauty of the stone, and her people, although familar with the sight, also gazed in solemn forgetful of everything but the greatness and the magnificence of nature. That short pause of silent communion and sympathy was perhaps more precious than all the more noisy demonstrations of the visit. A mighty Sovereign and bur people looked at the works of God together, and in the presence of His greatness, they forgot for the moment all the wide earthly distinctions that existed between themselves. In the meantime great exertions were being made on shore to get up the stag hunt. Hundreds of men surrounded the mountain on every side, ex cept that which touched the water, and, with shouts, sought to assist the dogs iu raising the stag. The pack, the property of Mr. O'Connell, were indefatigable. They could be seen occasion ally working here and there through the under wood, but for a long time their efforts were umlue cessfuL At last the "cry " was raised, and there was a general expectation that the stag, whom it was known wee now running, would take the water and be captured in the usual fashion. The cry came nearer, the shouts of the people behind could be heard, and every boat's crew rested on their oars, and strained their eyes to the water's edge. In five minutes snore the stag would have been breasting the waves, when suddenly up came Lord Castlerusse's barge, and the people, fancying the Queen was on board, set up a shout that at once silenced the dogs, and scared the stag away from his usual denier russet. The stag hunt was, in fact, spoiled ; the Queen waited iu her boat until past six o'clock, and the people for some time longer, but the scent was not recovered during her Majesty's stay. There ' was a rumour that later iu the evening the hounds resumed the pursuit, and that the stag did actually take the water, and was there captured, but I have a strong suspicion that it was a " Legend of Kil larney" innocently got up hi order to reconcile the people to their disappointment. But the disap pointment was nothing ; the great feature: were the fineness of the weather, the presence and evident pleasure of the Queen, the loyalty and enthusiasm of the people, and the myriad beauties, animate and inanimate, of the whole picture. In all these respects the day's proceedings were a triumphant success, and few will regret that a noble stag was not sent to grief, the only sufferer of all in that happy and joyful crowd. This attempt at a hunt was the first that bad been made for five years, and the probability is that the sport is gradually becoming obsolete a thing which is hardly to be regretted. To me it does not look like real hunting after aIL A cordon of people surround the land side of the mountain, so as to prevent any escape except by one way. The stag is brought in a cage to a spot favourable for a start, and then, being liberated, and after a fair amount of "Lw " being given, the hounds are set on his track, when, as his only resource, he makes for the water. Fine effects are pro duced by the cry of the . bounds as repeated by the mountain echoes, and there is great excitement when the chase is transferred from the land to the water. There is never any capture, however, as, when matters are coming to a crisis between the poor beast and his pursuers, the boats pull up, he is captured by the men, and carried house alive to recruit his strength, and prepare for another day. Contretemps are, I understand, frequent, the stag often proving as obstinate as the well known " wild horse " in Maseppa, who so often stops in the middle of the bridge at Astley's, and rube his nose calmly against the boards, not withstanding the imminent pursuit of the wolves at one wing, and the seductive corn of the property man at the other. It appears to me cruel and something of a sham hunt, and Killarney has quite beauties enough without it. I had almost forgotten to mention that during the day her Majesty, when passing up the lake, christened a rock " Victoria Point" in the usual way by breaking a bottle of wine over it, and for the benefit of future tourists I beg to add that this point is situated near " O'Donoghue's wine cellars," somewhere at the base of the great Tondos range. ONE 0 . 1 LOCK P. M. The Queen, having driven out for an hour in the morning, arrived at the platform of the Great South Western Railway with her usual punctuality. The cavalcade consisted of the royal carriages and an escort of dragoons. Lord Castlerosse and Colo nel Herbert rode each at a door of the Qneen't, carriage, and the galleries and roadsides were crowded with people. The cheering was universal, and was most graciously acknowledged by her Ma jesty. On the platform her Majesty was received by the directors of the railway, namely, William Haughton, Esq. (chairman), J. W. Murlaud, Esq. (deputy chairman), Lord Cloncurry, J. B. Ball, G. Pim, Val. O'Brien O'Connor, and Henry Hut ton, Emirs. (directors). The arrangements, with the whole of which the Queen expressed the most unqualified satisfaction, were carried out under the direction of G. E. llbery, Esq., superintendent of the hue. Mr. G. E. Miller, chief engineer, drove the engine, ardsted by Mr. Robert Edwards ; and Mercers. T. H. Sanger and B. D. Wallack had charge of the telejraphic department. Previous to stepping into the carriage her Ma jesty shook hands most cordially with her late boats and hostesses ; the Prince of Wales shook bands with Captain Herbert ; and the signal having been given, the train started for town. The /rill risen Urns Wei s t , the royal visit in its leading edemas : " TLe Q .uco bus come and gone. Her visit le now a :natter of history. She has visited one of the most beautiful and romantic portions of her dominions, where uo monarch bad travelled since Ire kW became a dependency of the British crown. Political aireurnstanote prevented her from visiting the south of Ire land on the occasion of her former visits. She was received with a warmth of affection the remembrance of which must dwell in her memory more pleasantly than the beauties she has seen. It is understood that her Majesty by no means desired to repress the expressions of loyalty from her people here. She desired to come amongst us with out the solemnities of state, indeed ; but it is not to pageantry we pay our homage. We could have given en thusiastic greetings without becoming intrusive. The joy ful exclamations of a warmhearted people cannot be par . chased. They ought to have been welcomed. Some Eng. fish officials interfered between majesty and welcome. We were told of nervousness, timidity, turd sorrow, and we I were respectful. We have given the very best proof et the sincerity of our affection, for it was far easier to raise acclamation than to be comparatively silent. The people here thought they acted as her Majesty desired ; but the thunder of the salutes upon the Curragb proved to the iitizens of Dublin that her Majesty was neither timid nor nervous, and that they had been misled. It wa s apparently through a wish, sot only to see but to be seen, which led her Majesty through Capel-street, Mary-street, and Henry-street yesterday. These are not over fashionable localities, but they are densely populated. Her Majesty was greeted then as enthusiastically as she would have been greeted on her arrival, and proved by her beaming counte. mance that she enjoyed ber welcome. Her Majesty's visit bad no political object, nor will it have guy political effect. Let us hope that the deference shown to what were sup posed to be her Majmty's wishes will induce her to visit us wan gain." BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. irzox ouz ows coszzorozonTJ BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY MORNING. • On the first day of the festival we indulged in anticipation,. that the results would lie favourable. Seven out of the eight performances have uow taken place, and our expoetatiou has been fully realised. At the concert last night the receipts were exactly 4001. greater than on the corresponding evening at the last festival. The amount taken last night was 1,0881. lON. The appearance of the hall was meet brilliant, and in a musical point of view the ansoert was entirely succawful. This programme was gone through almost without a fault ; unquestionably one of its most attractive features was the performsoce by Miss Arabella Goddard and the orchestra of Beethoven's elaborate Concerto in E fiat. This occupied more than thirty minutes, and was executed throughout with wondrous precision. In a concert of this character the audience is apt sometimes to manifest im patience at a performance of so great length, however high the intrinsic character of the music may he ; on this occasion the audience sat lite rally entranced under the effects of the grandeur of the music and its executiou. Mdlle. Patti was encored in both pieces, and Mr. Bentley obtained full and well-merited applause for the magnificent way in which be rendered Meyerbeer's air, "Ah ! now I feel," from Dinorali. It was getting towards midnight when the coucert was over, but so brilliant had it been throughout that the audience seemed to feel no sense of weariness, and the festival corn mittee deserve to be congratulated and felicitated on tho success of the concert so far, and on the expressions of satis faction which they have elicited from all who have attended. The Lu I of Shre wsbury, the president, attended the concert last evening. FRIDAI EVEIDRO. There was a great hall again to-day, not of course equal to the At asiah morning, because, as is well known, there is • certain class of people who from custom, or fashion, or some other feeling, make • point of attending holism's of this character on the day on which the Messiah is performed. Making due allowance for the absence of this section of worthy people, the attendance to-day was large ; • strange would have said the hall was crowded, though, in face such was not the case ; but the president's gallery, the side galleries, sod the floor were alike well tilled ; and such a musical treat the connoisseurs who from afar had Bucked to Birmingham to-day have seldom experieucod. BEETHOVEN'S MISSA SOLENNIS was the great work selected for the opening performance of this morning, and as such must unquestionably be re garded as the grout novelty of the Birmingham Festival of 1861. A work so rarely heard, yet so highly estimated, could scarcely fail to be an immense attraction to those who ad mire the compositions of the illustrious Beethoven. Even in the metropolis itself this gigantic work of the great German composer is not frequently heard. It requires so much patient study and careful rehearing, particularly on the part of the choir, to do it anything like justice, that the rarity of its performance inspires us with little surprise. On the other hand, when it is performed welt few compositions of Beethoven are more effective or better calculated to impress the bearer with au idea of the great genius and vast power of the composer. The solo parts were taken by Madame Ruderedorff, Ma dame liainton-Dolby, Mr. Montem Smith, and Mr. Bentley, who did their respective parts as well as could be possibly expected, though it was evident they were not so well ac. quainted with their work as with these things they are more frequently performing. But taking this into cousideration, and the very difficult character of the music, the solo music was dune very welt The performance of the mass alto gether was a great success. It is exceedingly doubtful if it ever wisdom so well before, or if so much pains was taken to get such a perfect performance, and it is quite clear after this that there is nothing in the whole repertoire of music, sacred or secular, that cannot be performed at • Birmingham Festival. Hunimel's Alma Vino, which followed, was undoubtedly put in the ►cheme to dis play the powers of Mdlle. Patti. As usual, she made the part suit her, and so delighted her audience, that • repe tition was at once desired and complied with. Though comparatively simple, it played very well, and it is exceedingly doubtful if it was ever performed better. A large selection from hive/ in Rflypi brought the morn ing's performance to a conclusion. The following shows the etteudance and amount of receipts this morning—it is larger than on the Friday in 1858, and there is the extra concert to.uight, which will, it is anticipated, be a crowded one : —President and Vice-Presi dent's seats, at 21s. each, 182, 1911. 2s. ; secured sofas, 21s. sash. 742, 7791. 2e.; unsecured seats, Rh. 6d. each, 4711, 2461.155; two pauses, 111 s. lid. each, If. le.; donations and collections, 2541. 12e. lid.; total number attending, total receipts, 1,4721. 12s. &I.

A new pamphlet, entitled "The Emperor, Rome, and the King of Italy," has appeared in Paris. The substance of the pamphlet implies that it impossible to see actually at Rome anything else but a " Coblenz" directed against the King of Italy, the Emperor of the French, civilisation, progress, the country, and liberty. Such a conspiracy cannot be tolerated under the French flag. France is about to withdraw her troops, and the prin ciple of non-intervention will be strictly main tained. There is not a single guarantee, either moral or material, which has not been offered by the Italian ministers for the independence of the Sovereign Pontiff. If the court of Rome obsti nately persist in refusing, an appeal will be made to the Roman people. The plebiscite will take place under the eyes of the French army. If Victor Emmanuel is called upon to reign, on the following day the French troops will be relieved by the Italian troops, and the King of Italy will publish the accordance agreed upon between him and the Catholic Powers with a view to the inde pendence of the Holy See. The Pope may then act as he pleases. PARIS, Arcurr 31.

The Emperor, in hie reply to the address of the Upper House of the Reicherath, expresses sincere satisfaction at the magnanimous sentiments of the House and the fidelity to the Constitution which it displays. His Abjesty is gratified that the Upper Hous e acknowledges the necessity for firmness in conduct ing his work to a conclusion. The Emperor trusts also in the people bee owing conscious that the emulation springing from com mon exertions is more adapted for the development of nations of equal rights than for each to act in dependently. In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Reichsrath, Baron Schmerling defended the policy of the government in regard to Hungary. He de clared that the diploma of October last already considered the Hungarian constitution of 1848 am abolished, and said that the Imperial Patent of February last did not curtail any of the rights granted to Hungary by that diploma. Baron Sehmerling, in defending the former government against the reproaches that bad been cats; on it, and which he stigmatised as unjust, said that his own antecedents were guarantees of him steadfast adhesion to constitutional principles. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 30. During the late negotiations with Omer Pacha the Prince of Montenegro demanded the recogni tion of his independence, the extension of the Montenegrin frontier to the River Moratcha, and the c salon of the port of Spitza. The Porte refused to accede to these demands. CONSTANTINOPLE, Auanwr 30. Said Pacha is said to be seeking permission to raise another loan, to be guaranteed by the Egyp tian revenue. A grand review has been held in honour of General Codrington. The collection of the forced loan has begun in the provinces. Strong reinforcements have been despatched to the Her.zegovina. SERVIA.

LISBON, Auouar 27. - (Per Sultan, rid Southampt on .) - Among the passengers by the Sultan, which sailed to-day for Southampton, are 12 nuns of the convent of Sion House, who return to England, h av i ng purchased an establishment at Spitsburg, Dorset shire. The sisters carry with them the stone cross which formerly stood over the gateway of Sion House, Isleworth, and also several ancient statues which adorned their original church. The vines are much improved, and the yield of wine, it is expected, will be much larger than here tofore. _ The King has been well received at all the places he visited on his way to Oporto.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY. _ _ The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sultan arrived here this morning with the Penin sular mail, 46 passengers, 1,2181. iu specie, and 1,600 packages of cargo. A letter from Ostend, of the 26th inst., says that the maim there is now at its height, and is at least as good as in any previous year. The King of Prussia is daily seen walking on the shore in civic Jostu nue. Hie Majesty's son-in-law (the Grand Duke of Baden) and Prince George of Pravda are also at Ostend. A letter from Turin of Wednesday says :—" A very awful calamity has befallen Turin this morning. A Bre broke out in the Via di Po, which resisted for a fee hours the efforts of the fire brigade, aided by the regular troops. These latter were carried away by their zeal for the public cause, and ventured into the burning buildings with • rash amnia* to which about a dozen of them tell victims. Colonel Troth, a brave Piedmontese officer. Major Fiore, of the Carahineers, and another major of the nth Infantry, while endeavouring to check the ardour of the troops, were crushed by a falling wall." The Aigle du Midi of Montpelier says :—" The year 1861 will be one of the most remarkable as regards the production of bees. In some hie* there have already been two or three swarms ; and it is hoped that the yield in honey and wax will be so large as to compemate in the departments of the Gironde and the Landes for the insuffi ciency of other productions." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (I RON OUR OWN CORREEPONDENT.) PARK YIUDAY EVENING. Important changes in the Italian ministry are hinted at. Some reconstruction of the cabinet of Turiu is said to have been necessitated by the arrival of M. Benedetti at his post. If Baron Rica. soli must remain at the head of affairs, at least._ so ran the bond which accompanied the French re cognition of the Italian kingdom —we will not be obliged to come in daily contact with him. And so the President of the Council changes his portfolio. He takes that of the Interior, and Count Arese succeeds him as Minister of Forei gn affairs. Count Arose has, in point of fact, been posed, if I MU rightly informed, upon Victor Em manuel by the Emperor Napoleon. Whatever may be the result of these changes, as regards the foroi.4u alliances of Italy, the advent of Baron Rica soli to the Ministry of the Interior cannot fail to be attended with the happiest results. Italy requires above all things administrative unity, in order to mould her various elements into one harmonious whole. )f. Minghetti has hitherto failed to attain this object, and it is one worthy of the master mind of Ricaaoli. The portfolio of War will be taken by General Della Rovere, who will be replaced in Sicily by General Briguoue. A Naples correspondent writes to the Patric : I can assure you that the English naval commander' were "invited" to abstain from practising firing their guns in the port of Naples. It wee, in fact, an excesaire tolemoce to allow the crews of men-of-war, anchored at 150 mares from the coast, to be firing cannon and small arms all 4, at a mark in water filled with Iltaunboats and ships of all aorta. The same journal announces that the Marquis de Lavalette is going to Rome as ambassador, and that his departure for the Eternal City will be contemporaneous with the arrival of the new nuncio, Mgr. Chigi, at Paris. Finally,we have,iu the Patri,, an article upon Italy, in language considerably more measured than we have recently been accus tomed to find in its pages. Au " indication" in this sense may have been forwarded to it from bead-quarters. A letter from Rome, in the Pays, mention.' the regulations at the theatres for the autumn pro mulgated by the Director of Police, M. Mateucci. All applause or expressions of dissatisfaction are absolutely forbidden. Bouquets are not to be flung on the stage. The director is held responsible for the conduct of his artists. In the same letter it is stated that a band of reactioniste between Ceprano and Froxinone,attempting to cross the frontier,was stopped and disarmed, orders being asked for from Rome on the subject. As the troops who seized these brigands were Italian, the "orders" must have been asked of the French, and net the Roman authorities. This is not accurately explained. I am assured by a person recently arrived from Vienna that the Hungarian cause is must un doubtedly popular with the bourgeoisie of the city, while that class is opposed to the general tendency of the Bchmerling policy. A telegram represents the deputy Smolka as maintaining that the absence of a great number of deputies should be considered SA a vote of non-confidence in the ministry. lam assured that doubt is entertained by many mem bers as to the legality of voting money under the circumstances of such absence. The Bourse opened flatly, but improved slightly towards the close. Rents rose 10c. for cash and sc. for account, closing prices being 68fr. 80c. and 68fr. 85c. respectively. Mobilier left off worse, closing at a decline of 2fr. 50c. for cash and lfr. 25c. for account, the prices being 75.5 fr. and 750 fr. 25c. Mr. Thackeray has arrived in Paris on a brief visit. The French Institute has just lost one of its oldest members in the parson of 11. Berthier, aged 79. The deceased was elected academician in 1827 for the sec. tioo of mineralogy, in the room of Baron Ramon. The Empress Eugenie on Sunday last laid the first stone of an hospital to bear the name of "Aide Sainte Eugenie." intended for the reception of soldiers and poor persons to whom the nse of the waters of Eaux.Bonnes may be prescribed by their medical attendants. The Pnngolo of Milan states that Garibaldi i 4 unwell at Caprem, and that, notwithstanding the advice of his friends, he has taken to a quack remedy, which pos sessed considemble celebrity about 30 years ago limier the name of Itedecine Leoroy. As it is a powerful cathartic, its me bad reduced him to ► deplorable state of weakness. . _ A Berlin letter has the following :—" It is thought probable that the Prince of Wales will assist at the manceuvres of the 7th and Bth Corps d'Armeo on the Rhine. On the occasion of his Majesty's coronation Counts de Dolma, Arnim, Redern, and Blucher will be raised to the rank of prince. The two sons of the Dukes of haze- Coburg-Cohary have entered the service as lieutenants in the Coburg battalion, which is now incorporated in the Prussian army." Complaint; have been made of treatment to which peinengers are liable in the steamers between Ohan and Glasgow. On Saturday last, it is stated, the steamer Mountaineer started from Oban with a good number 0J saloon passengers, who had paid full farm for the best wo commodation, and the boat was subsequently filled with hundreds of Glasgow excursionists, of whom a large propor tion were in a state of intoxication and who were allowed to occupy without control all parts of the vessel. Several fight. occurred, whisky was pa'.sed round in teacups, cud oaths and indecencies prevailed on all sides. BETWEEN DOVER AND OSTEN D. --Com Ilene i tog on Monday next, the 2nd of September, the Soutli.Eilicern Railway Company will run • boat on week days between Dover and Ostend, leaving Dover at 11.4. a.m. and (Mend in the reverse direction at 11.45 am. The b aste will be in connexion with the train from London-bridge at 1.30 am., arriving at Brussels at 9.25 p.m., and Cologne et 4.40 a.m. : and on the inward journey, with the train due at London at 8.35 p.m., from Brussels at 7.35 sap., and from Cologne the previous evening. This new service will supply a went in the meson of quick communica tion rid Ostend, with Belgium, Germany, end the north of Europe. Passengers for the destinations mentioned, and generally to and from the north of Europa can by this route avoid the long or !light era passage, sad have the accommodation of a service free from chime of marriage between the port and Brussels. They will al'o be secured from the contingency of separation from their baggage, at times unavoidable when travelling by the mail boats, the post-office regulations having regard to the quick transit of the mails more than to the con. venienco of passengers. The day Ostend service will also be available for the transport to London of fresh provisioos from Holland and the Netherlands, which articles require only rapidity of transit to develops • lance and maul trade. The new arrangements will complete six daily services to and from the cootinent in connexion with the South Eastern Railway—via., one by day and one by night by each of the three routes ot Folkesteoe and Boulogne. Dover and Calais, and D iyer and Ostend, making twelve voyages per day between tie two countries. The South Eastern fleet of steamers num bers at present ten tint-class vessels, including the uew boats lately launched, which are said to posscm all Cm most recent improvement*, and are expected to shorten the time hitherto occupied in crossing the Channel by at letot one.fourth. The new pier at Folkestone is sufficiently complete for use, and affords the means of lauding and embarking , at all times of tide, w hi c h w ill p erm it con siderable improvements to be made in the hours of the tidal services. To enable these to be performed at fined hours requires hot the completion of the harbour works now in progress on the French side. REVOLTING DIVORCE CASE —At the prewsit moment the town's talk is of a peculiarly horrible case which is pending before one of the law court+, and which certainly testifies to the existence of an alarming amount of moral corruption. A man agreed wealth and well known in a rertain portion of Parisian society amid his wife are pleading for • separation, and them are, it appears. the fact, of the case :-1. The wife was faithless to her marriage vow on more than one occasion and with MON than one person ; end yet she has several children both by her present and a former husband. 2. The men held his married state in such contempt that he ostentatiously pro tected • notorious actress. 3. He led setray from the paths of virtue am of the daughters of his wife toy her first mar riage. 4. He made his own brother marry the dishonoured daughter. Such an accumulation of horrors iu a French novel would be regarded as a revolting improbability; lAA it has actually occurred in real life to a couple moving in the good society of Paris.—Paris letter in The Pros.
