(Applause.) My Lord Mayor, yQu . twie been pleased to refer to another country, upon w Illeb. therefore it is my duty to -say •a word. You spoke of the case of Italy, an 1 I s. en ture cheerfully to state to this company, that if, in turning the eye towards America, there be any discouragement to the friends freedom and popular principlestheyomay repair and retrieve that discouragement by contemplating the cause of Italy. Mr. Canning stated in a passage of burning eloquence, that he had called a new world into existence to redress the blunders of the old. We may now state we turn to a country of the old world to redress and compensate the calamities and failures of the new. (Applause.) If we have doubts as to the efficacy of Constitutional principles, let us see what has taken place in this old country. That country which two thousand years ago was mistress of the old world, which was not only unity in itself, but from the principles which it helti was the centre of unity in a period when the Rowan Empire was the centre of unity to civilised mankind —that country, which had been shivered to frag ments for some centuries, was exhibiting more order and an amount of self-government and self- I command that would do credit to any nation of the earth. She was now gathering herself into one whole component mass, and proceeding to take a place amongst the nations which she was entitled to byher position. (Loud applause.) My Lord Mayor, the friends of freedom may take comfort from what has been going on in Italy for the last three or four years, and which still exhibit signs of advancing there. (Hear, hear.) Even the very retardation. of the final fulfilment of the hopes of the people of' that country affords the most signal fruit of the true progress which she has made. (Hear, hear.) Italy, during the last four years, has shown that she was equally ready to encounter both success and dis appointment. She at one time found herself under the guidance of, perhaps, the greatest statesman of modern times; butthe removal of that statesmanby the wise and inscrutable decree of Providence had not left her destitute. (Hear.) She has shown that she does not depend upon this man or that man ; but the selection by her people of men whose hearts are in the right place is enough to secure to her the position which is her right. It is matter of no small delight to us that the utmost extent of her hopes is to reproduce our institutions. She has striven to walk in the path of our fathers; she has striven, but not in a spirit of mere servile imitation but in a spirit of sound practical philosophy—she has striven to embody in her laws, and fairly exemplify in her con duct, the very best of those principles which guided our forefathers through many political conflicts, and enabled them to realise that which we fondly term. —which our children will fondly term for many generations—the British Constitution. (Cheers.) Let us be thankful that if any discouragement has come from one party or another in the way of Italy, she, I am persuaded, will always continue to derive a consolation from the knowledge that in England, not merely in the metropolis, not merely in one class or another, but throughout the whole mass of the community, and in every corner of the country, there is a scarcely a heart but what beats warmly in sympathy with her noble efforts. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I have cause to ask you to excuse me if, upon the various points to which you were kind enough to call the attention of the company, I have unduly trespassed upon yoar tinac—(applause)—it has been perhaps from a desire to express sentiments which, at a period like this, fill so strongly every heart and mind; and it has been said in confidence in your indulgence of all that I have said to-day, and in other districts of the country, that has per haps too fondly induced me to speak as I have done. (Loud cheers.) If you will permit me to do so, I will drink to the health of the Lord Mayor. (Loud 1 cheers.) The toast was drunk with all the honours. Several other toasts followed. Shortly after the conclusion of the lunch, Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone proceeded to Escrick Park, the resi dence of Lord Wenlock, where they will remain until Monday. )) 7ffi.:s - A. ‘ /,;714.1 '' S COLLISION ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAIL WAY. On Friday night an accident, which, as regards loss of property, was attended with serious conse quences, occurred near the Guildford station. It ap pears that at about 20 minutes past 11 o'clock, as tha goods train which leaves Alton at 9.35 was ap. preaching the station, the engine-driver observed the danger signal set, and immediately shut off the steam, reversed the engine, and used every means in his power to slacken his speed ; but as the train had just arrived at the incline, which is at this place one in one hundred, and which extends for about two miles and a quarter, his efforts were of little avail, and the train went rushing on. The guard also applied the breaks, but a heavy storm which bad just fallen rendered their application almost useless; the consequence was, that the train went at a rapid pace down the incline, at the foot of which it came into collision with the pick-up goods train of the South-Eastern Railway, consisting of about 34 waggons, which was performing its ordinary shunting at the time. The engine driver of the South-Eastern Company's train hearing the whistle of the approaching train, and being fully aware of the inevitable danger, with great self-possession im mediately ran a-head, taking with him about half the train which had been previously detached and thus no doubt prevented a double collision, for which he deserves the greatest credit. Of the re• maining waggons belonging to the South-Eastern Company, seven were completely smashed and ren dered unfit for use, including the guard's break-van, which fortunately was empty. Of th e South-Wes tern train, which contained about 30 waggons, laden chiefly with market goods, four were overturned and greatly damaged, whilst several others were shattered to a thousand pieces, the massive iron work being bunt and broken like so many straws. The tender, which being before the engine, struck the guard's break, was much damaged, the water tank being driven completely out of its frame. The wheels of several waggons were broken off, and the trucks themselves were piled up one upon another nearly to the height of the railway bridge. A huge block of freestone, measuring 4 or 5 feet in thick ness, was also broken in pieces, and the damage done will amount to a very large sum. Finding that a collision was unavoidable, the engine driver on the South-Western line jumped from the engine, and called upon the stoker to do the same. The former escaped comparatively uninjured, but the latter sus• tained a serious injury to the knee, arm, and other parts of the body. The guard of this train also jumped from his van,and escaped unhurt. Mr.Dyson, station master at Guildford, was apprised of the oc currence, and was immediately on the spot with a body of men, who were set to work clearing away the shattered remains of the carriages and other debris with which the line was strewn. Owing to the praiseworthy exertions of the men, under the super intendence of Mr. Dyson, the line w traffic at about six on Saturday c No blame e driver of appears to be attached to any WPaeltrer Lloyd, having insoornn s g t h . the South Western enginepin his power to prevent used every available A has been in the employ of the the accident. for .:traesterD Rail way Company London and South ' w ays borne a high character mAny years? aud i n variably exercised by him in the for the c auion. h is duty.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Glad stone arrived in York by the 11.25 train from the North on Saturday morning. They were accom panied by Mark Millbank, Esq., of Thorpe Per row, and were met at the station by the Lord Mayor and the Deputy-Chairman of the North- Eastern Railway Company (G. Leeman, Esq.). The party, with the exception of Mr, Leeman, at once entered a carriage which was in waiting, and drove to the Mansion House. Subsequently, accompanied by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone visited the Minster, and spent some time in the inspection of the sacred edifi2e. They then returned to the Mansion House, where, at two o'clock, a large party of guests sat down to lunch. The LORD MAYOR having proposed " The Health of Mr. Gladstone," and referred to his public ser vices, Mr. GLADSTONE rose, and, after some few prefa tory remarks, said—My Lord Mayor, you have been pleased to refer, in the most complimentary and in the most friendly terms, to my own appearance in this city. I really feel it is not on any personal ground I can claim your notice, but I believe that the characters of public servants and public men are warmly and generously appreciated and libe rally estimated by the people of England, and that every member of that body, however little he may be distinguished, yet when he moves about among his fellow-countrymen, he receives in his own per son a large share of reward which is due, not to his individual exertions, but rather to the general fidelity and general efficiency with which the great works of Government and of legislation have been carried forward during his lifetime in the country. (Cheers.) It is, my Lord Mayor, a happy reflec tion for those who are beginning to see the shadows of their life lengthened around them to compare the condition of the country at the present moment with what it was when their public career began. I do not refer now merely to those patent facts which are established in the intelligible, but in the comparatively vulgar force of vigour—l do not mean to compare population with manufactures and trade, and yet I do not exclude them from the reference, because I contend that the increase which has taken place in this is not a mere signi fication of the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the wealthy ; but it is likewise a happy and a blessed testimony to the fact that the privations of human life have been diminished, the comforts of human life have been increased, the sense of self respect has been strengthened in all classes of the community, in consequence, in no small degree, of the great fidelity with which the duties of Govern ment and legislation have been performed. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, we have also hoped that some thing has been done towards redeeming the reproach in former times, not unjustly addresed to us, that in the rapid and eager pursuit of wealth we had for gotten that it is not wealth alone which humanises and elevates mankind; and although England in these later years has abated nothing of her commer cial and manuft.:cturing energy, but, on the contrary, has seemed to augment that energy from year to year, yet happily there has spread, along with that increase of activity, a deeper moral sense, a stronger consciousness of the obligations that capital owes to labour, a constant development of every benevolent design for the benefit of the masses of the commu nity ; and it is here we see the crowning blessing of our lives in the increased and yet increasing, the closer and still continuing closer growing union of all classes of the community. My Lord Mayor, you have referred to the case of other countries, and it must be our fervent prayer, not that our weaknesses not that our infirmities (and we have them in abun dance), but that the blessings we enjoy may be im parted to other nations of the earth. You have re ferred, my Lord Mayor, to the case of our brethren in America, and for one I confess 1 can hardly ex press the disappointment and pain with which I witness what is now proceeding on that great con tinent. I have never been one of those who have be lieved that the new world was to be an improvement upon the old. (Applause.) It may be because our local and municipal and insular ideas in England to a certain extent bind us down to what is English, and tend to make us not only impartial judges of the institutions and manners of other people, but I must confess on all hands, while rejoicing that America was a free country, I have felt that there was something in the freedom of Americat that was not quite of the genuine ancestral staple of the freedom of England. (Applause.) We have now lived to a period when that freedom itself seems to be in danger. Every packet almost brings us ac counts of measures which show that in the despe rate agoni e s o f th e con fli c t that rages civil a nd poli tical rights are necessarily offered up a sacrifice to the necessities of the time, and there ris es in the mind, along with t h e re gret for the unlimited effusion of h uman bl oo d, an d for the continualnlmited exas peration of human passions—there rises in the mind a question if possible yet more painful, because it reaches furth er i n t o th e f u ture, bow, after this tremendous conflict—h ow , after the enthroning of force and military power above the ru in of laws and order—how is America hereafter to return to a state of things in which, at any rate, whether we prefer English views of freedom to personal or not, she did and individual afford perfect guarantees to i , fe ? I earnestly liberty both as to property and " be answered, and hope that this question may s pirit ; but I think that answered in a favourable e longer this terrific struggle we must feel that th goes on, the more doubtful the future of America— ifficult will it be for her to establish that the more d orderly and legal state of things now for the moment d and which we saw, at least superseae witness with delight, and Were bemstaterial pros accustomed to for the extension of her best security r, and likewise the pros perity an d p owe • hope of her • to retain that continuingresemblance to England, an d that deep att ac hment to England, whi c h I for on e believe that she never yet has lost, (Applause.) My Lord Mayor, there is no d ou b t, I am afraid, if we w itch what has taken place in this country and Europe, there is no doubt, as far as experience throws light on the subject—and, indeed, on the grounds of reasoning and ant* nepa.tion—there is no doubt that what has taken place in America has operated as a serious blow, and a serious and grave disadvan tage in Europe to the progress of principles, I will not say merely of liberal principles in the sense of Party, but even of those Constitutional principles in firmly embracing which all parties in this country are happily agreed. Ido not think it possible to watch the course and c urrent of opinion, and the tone of public declaration as to the action of our in stitutions, without seeing that a very unfavourable influence—an influence unfavourable to freedom— has been strengthened by the unhappy experience of what we may call American democracy. I ear nestly trust that Englishmen will be upon their guard against that reaction. (Hear, hear.) If it be k true that the institutions of America have not pro- THE SUN, LONDOr, MONDAY EVENI Y G, OCTOBER 13, 1862 GARIBALDI PARDONED ! A letter from Spezzia, dated October 6, says : Amongst the questions of the day, which were " t® be or not to be," one is just resolved. Garibaldi and his fol lowers have been amnestied I The news reached Varig nano yesterday evening, while he was sleeping, and he heard it about twelve o'clock, when he awoke. It was with something less than mere indifference he listened to the not over gracious terms in which M. Urbano Rattazzi announced his master's pleasure—" The King has this day signed the decree for the amnesty of those who, either as principals or accomplices, took part in those acts or attempts at rebellion which have lately occurred in the southern provinces of the kingdom." Now, considering first of all that up to yesterday the Ministers were in daily discussion, not only how and where, but for what precise offence to try Garibaldi, it does seem rather a hasty assumption to call it rebellion; not to men tion that carrying war into a neighbouring State is a very Irish notion of rebellion. Were our countrymen who assisted the Pope, and fought and bled—or did not bleed as the case might be—at Castelfidardo rebels? were the patriots, as they used to be called, who followed Bolivar, rebels? were the Legion of Excursionists who joined Gari baldi at Naples rebels ? and are all those of our countrymen who have taken service, North and South, in America rebels ? Many able lawyers, it is said, have declared that were Garibaldi to be tried by a court of assize no conviction could be had ; at all events, the Ministers did not make the attempt, though they have now coupled his name with the designation which only a conviction could fix upon it. I understand that if he alone had to be consulted he would refuse the grace in the shape and terms it has been offered him ; but he could not bring himself to prolong the imprisonment of the poor fellows whose sufferings and sickness have been greater and more fatal than the cap tivity of felons usually inflicts. Politically, the measure was a failure. The rumour goes that the permission of the Emperor could not be obtained till yesterday, although the king ardently desired to announce the amnesty on the morning of the Princess's marriage. The . Emperor waited, it is said, to see what effect the Ro man correspondence with Thouvenel and Lavalette would produce ; and, not perceiving that it altered in any way the firm determination of the nation, he consented to the am nesty. The English meetings had, doubtless, their influ ence too upon the imperial mind. Men were saying every day very unpleasant truths, and were not always minded to be careful of their expressions, as either strict morality or good taste would enjoin. Had the amnesty followed at once on " Aspromonte," the effect would hive been different, and even the army would have felt less irritation than it now does at this grace to Garibaldi, which is so lamely worded and so long de ferred. Garibaldi himself is, certainly, of all the prisoners I have seen, the least sensible to the royal favour. To be sure, he is wounded and bed-ridden, and the word liberty to his ears conveys nothing but an idea. All the pardons that ever were engrossed on parchment cannot help the exfoliation of a splintered bone, or hasten its restoration. His prison must still be his hospital. For many a week yet win the true aim of the bersagliere cost him air, and exercise, and freedom. At the very earliest it will be three months before he can be moved with safety even to Spezzia. When speaking of this to-day it was remark.. able to see with what implicit faith he himself recurred to the words of Dir. Partridge, and said, "He told me it would be a long business, and that I must summon patience for at least 12 or 14 weeks." But though few men have lived a lite of such eventful activity, fewer still are blessed with such self-command as Garibaldi. They who accuse him of impatience and rest less irritability in his late attempt have not caught the right measure of the man. He miscalculated—if you like—and the landing at Marsala in 1860 would have been the very self-same miscalculation if M. Rattazzi had been Minister instead of Cavour. Instead of the strong wish and the noble daring of a really great statesman, substitute the wavering policy and the ready subserviency of a mere lawyer, and Marsala would have been a greater disaster than Aspromonte I lam not in this justifying the late attempt, or endeavouring to defend its loyalty, or maintain its prudence; but it would not be one whit harder to do all these three than to establish the right of Garibaldi's first invasion, and to declare that it was well judged and prudent. " Before you reprove us for Aspromonte, give back Sicily and Naples. Before you talk of punishing us for a fraud, make restitution of what we stole for you"—these are the words I heard from a Garibaldian to-day, and he assured me they have occurred in some shape or other to many thousands of his quick-witted countrymen. " You never amnestied us after Melazzp," said another. Perhaps if one could search Garibaldi's heart, the sorest spot in it is for those men like Medici, Cosenz, and Bixio, whom he certainly loved, and whose he made, and some of whom, now seated beside Ministers, deliberate calmly, and weigh maturely, the words of the master's pardon ; for he was the master, and without him they nei ther were, nor ever will be, anything. The music of Spezzia—as certain very untuned fiddles and some damaged horns are called—has just gone out by boat to salute and serenade Garibaldi, and the night is a glorious one, with the moon at full ; and so I conclude my rhapsody, and wish you a " felicissima notte." either nil or i n th e h ands of creditors.

If the actor should be re d uce d to the painful extremity of arresting his manager for the salary owing, the latter has only to keep out of the way for a while--he takes care not to go out till after suruet, and that's all. Formerly the presence of the manager at the theatre was an indispensable condition to tee continu ance of his privilege. But now a manager gets himself represented by an official assignee, and governs his domi nions like a little Tiberius from his court at Caprea. Even if he stay in town he does not run much :danger. Of course we do not mean to say that bumbailiffs are otherwise than incorruptible, but they are remarkably fond of the play. A friend of mice, an actor, who being out of patience) with drew his papers from a bailiff in whose hands they had re mained fruitlessly for a very long time, found among them a brief note thus worded :---" My dear sir, you may reckon upon the box you asked me for.—Your devoted, X." Now the " dear sir" ought to have arrested the " devoted" di • rector; but these was a thick kg that night, and he did not see him. The public has no idea of the despotic power of the manager over the actor. If the latter presses for his just due the manager can make hislife miserable and even break his career. He will find himself no longer applauded when he plays; nay, even the hired claque will hiss him ; he is forced to rehearse pieces never intended to be played, and the worst parts are carefully selected for him. If he does not like his treatment the only thing is for him to pay smart money to obtain his liberty by cancelling his agree ment. If he goes to law an eloquent advocate will prove to the public that he has no talent whatever. In short, the law is powerless to do justice between actor and manager; no thing but the paternal intervention of authority can prevent the grossest abuse of the manager's power. When it is clear beyond all doubt that the manager is insolvent, his position becomes quite a delightful one. Ile crosses his arms and gives himself no trouble : he is housed and fed like a good servant, and he does not even sweep out the rooms. If an actor asks him for money, he replies haughtily, " I have nothing to do with it; speak to my man of business." He is a "privileged" being in the most emphatic sense of the the word, for he enjoys a privilege which authority hesi tates to deprive him of, His insolvency is his strength. The more numerous his creditors the greater the number of his supporters. A story is told of a fast American who very frequently became insolvent. Every time he assembled his creditors, and offered them 5 per cent., which they accepted with thanks and blessings. But at about the fifteenth failure he addressed them as follows : " My good friends, the times are hard, and I am only able on this occasion to offer 41- per cent." Upon this a tumult arose in the auditory, and the accustomed dividend was loudly called for. " Well," said the debtor, " let us have no disturbance about it. I will pay the other half per cent. if you must have it, but I give you my honour it comes out of my pocket." There are, lam assured, managers in Paris who beat the American. They assemble their cre ditors, not to offer them 5 per cent., but to ask them for ten—and wonderful to relate, the creditors give them the money. Of course, these latter are not so simple as to sup pose that a theatre which, beginning without debts, and having been successful has managed to incur a debt of five or six hundred thousand francs, will ever pay it off. That they know to be mathematically impossible ; but they keep the manager afloat in the vague hope of getting something by his taking other people in as he has taken in them. Count Walewski has a firm will, a clear, practical head, and an enlightened solicitude for the drama. lie has already rooted out many abuses. Actors well know that he is anxious for their interests. If his excellency is properly seconded ; if his orders are faithfully carried out, the pre sent disgraceful things will be put an end to. In terminat ing this long disquisition, I feel bound to say that there are very many excellent managers who are prudent, cap able, zealous, and discharge all their obligations with the greatest punctuality. Some also there are who are un fortunate, and not from their own fault, and who even when they fall deserve sympathy, and command universal esteem. HARTLEY INSTITUTE INAUGURA7ION. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 11. The preparations for the inauguration of the Hartley Institution by Lord Palmerston on Wed nesday are now complete. The anxiety to get tickets for the banquet and the ball is very great. Nearly 200 banquet, 1,500 inauguration, and 1,200 ball tickets have been issued. The ball and banquet are at the expense of Mr. Perkins, the mayor. Lord and Lady Palmerston and Lady Jocelyn, the step daughter of the Premier, have accepted invitations to the ball. The procession will be formed at 1 p.m., the inauguration will take place at 2 p.m., and the banquet at 4 p.m. The official part of the procession will consist of 2,500 persons, and will in clude all the officers of the literary and scientific institutions of the town. It will be about a mile long. The corporation will be in open carriages. The avenue through which the procession will march in order to enter the town is nearly two miles in length, and is one of the finest town entrances in the kingdom. Most of the shops in the High street will be closed, and at night the town will be illuminated. The ancient Bargate will have illu minated representations of the arms of Lord Pal merston, the mayor of the town, and the late Mr. Hartley, the founder of the institution. The concert which will take place after the banquet is likely to be a great success ; Madile. Parepa, Miss Laura Baxter, Mr. Montem Smith, and other eminent musicians are engaged. The mayor has kindly thrown open the theatre to the public in the evening. Many persons have let their windows and balconies to spectators to witness the procession, which will be, if the weather is fine, a picturesque and imposing one. No carriages will be allowed in the procession besides those of Lord Palmerston and the members of the corporation. His lordship will have to come into Southampton by what is called the upper Romsey-road, and after passing by Chilworth and Bassett he will ap proach the upper part of Southampton-common, an extensive and park-like country, where he will be met by the procession. His guard of honour will be a troop of volunteer cavalry. The procession will be a military, naval, and civic spectacle, as the officers and crews of the two frigates permanently stationed in Southampton Water, the Royal Engi neers of the Ordnance survey, and the volunteers will take part. The Bishop of Rochester, who for merly belonged to this town, will walk with the clergy. The words " Palmerston, England's Pilot," are now being marked out on the Bargate in gigan tic letters for an illumination. IRE NA 1 7 .1' . The Hamalaya, screw troopship, Capt. E. Lacy, arrived. at Portsmouth on Saturday morning from Gravesend, and will be docked preparatory to fur ther service on the large dock being vacated by the St. George. During the stay of the ship at Grave send, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Quartermaster-General Sir Richard Airey, arrived at Gravesend on board the Vivid paddle yacht, and paid a visit to the Himalaya. He was received by Lieut. Nott, senior lieut. on board, and Mallard, the paymaster, who conducted his Royal Highness over every part of the ship. On leaving the Himalaya the duke expressed his regret that the Admiralty had only one Himalaya for the service of the army, but hoped there would soon be three or four vessels available to the state as army transports. It will be remembered that the last service outward from England of the Himalaya was the conveyance to Canada of upwards of 1,000 women and children, families of officers and soldiers belonging to the regiments sent oat to Canada dur ing the Trent crisis. This large number of women and children, the largest ever conveyed at a time in one vessel, were landed in Canada without a single casualty. This service is not only a credit to the ship, but nlso to the officei.s serving on board, and particularly so to her senior lieutenant and pay master, who had the chief care of all the arrange- , ments. In performing - this duty the ship has given another proof of her excellent capabilities as a troopship, and it cannot but be a matter of congra tulation to the Admiralty that they possess a vessel which always, and under every circumstance, per forms her duties satisfactorily, whether as regards her economy as a troopship or the speed and regu larity of her voyages. The Chanticleer, 17, screw, Commander Claarles Stirling, is expected to leave Spithead to-day for the Mediterranean. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. G. H. Seymour, will sail to •morrow morning from Portsmouth for Antwerp, to convey her Ma jesty to England on the termination of the royal visit to Germany. According to existing art ange ments, should the weather prove favourable, the royal yacht is expected to return direct to Osborne from Antwerp. Should the weather, however, not be favourable for the voyage down Channel, the yacht will proceed to the Thames. The Galatea, 26, screw, Capt. Rochfort Maguire, lying at Spithead, is under orders to proceed' to North America and the West Indies. Before leav ing, however, she is to be fitted with a ventilating fan below, which will detain her at her present an chorage for a few days. The St. George, 86, screw, Capt. the Hon. Francis Egerton, went into Portsmouth harbour on Satur day from Spithead for the purpose of being docked, to replace some sheets of copper rubbed off her bottom, and repair damage to her garboard strake, caused by her grounding during her cruise with the Channel fleet in the Baltic. A doubt existing as to the possibility of placing the ship in dock to-day owing to her draught of water, 27 feet and the tides now taking off, it was determined to lighten her by taking out part of her guns. She w as lying lashed alongside the Caesar, a sister ves sel now lying in ordinary, and it might have been supposed that the unencumbered decks of the latter were just the places to receive them. The guns, however, were deposited in ordnance lighters, which involved not only a great extra expense, but also a corresponding waste of time. The ship will be placed in dock to-day if it is found possible to do so, but this very doubt is another, and one of the strongest arguments which can be used in favour of the immediate construction of docks at Portsmouth having deep water entrances. The Channel fleet have now been lying at Spithead, with the excep tion of the Trafalgar, ever since its return from the Baltic, and every ship required doeking, as all had been on shore during their Baltic cruise. Ports mouth is not behind other yards in dock accommo dation—yet wily one dock exists there which will receive first-class ships. and the consequences have been that each ship has had to wait its turn, and even now the repairs of the fleet are not yet com pleted. The Agamemnon, 86, screw, Capt. Thos. Hope, dismantling, at Portsmouth, will be paid out of corn mission on the 18th inst. The Defence, 16, iron ram, Capt. Phillimore, anchored at Spithead, is ordered to be fitted with a ventilating fan to her magazines, prior to sailing on her heat cruise. The Barossa, 21, screw steam corvette, 1,700 tons, 400 horse power, Capt. Wm. M'Dowell, which has been recently commissioned for service in China, was taken to the measured mile off Maplin Sands for the trial of her machinery, on Friday, pre viously to her departure for her destination; but, iu consequence of the excessive priming, owing to some disarrangement in the injection pipes, the trial could not be made. It is thought that the internal arrangement of the piping requires altera tion. The ship was brought back into the harbour, and some days will elapse before she will be again fit for trial. The Trafalgar, 70, screw steamship, 2,900 tons, 500 horse power, has been removed from Sheerness dockard, where she has undergone thorough repair, to the repair. She is to have six months' supplies put on board, when she will again the Channel squadron. The Pylades, 21, screw steam corvette, 1,278 tons, 350 horse power, which has been undergoing thorough repair at Chatham dockyard, was taken out on trial of her machinery at the measured mile off Maplin Sand, in Charge of Commander Miley Crewe Read, of the Cumberland; Mr. W. Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat in the steam reserve at Sheerness, Mr. Baker, chief engineer at Chatham dockyard, had the superintendence of the engines. She is fitted with Smith's screw, with the leading corners cut. The pitch of the screw is 20ft., and the diameter 15ft. gin. An average speed, with full boiler power, of 10.742 knots was attained. The re volutions of engines were 601 per minute; pressure of steam, 19 ; vacuum, 26ft. forward, 21ft. aft, A speed of 8.235 was also attained at half-boiler power, with 481 revolutions. She turned the circle in 4 min. 20 sec., half-circle in 2 min. 30 sec. ; the diameter of the circle was three times the length of the vessel. The wind was easterly, with a force of from five to six, and the sea was tolerably smooth. The trial was considered satisfactory. The Rosario, 11, Capt. Graham, is lying in Great Yarmouth roads, being engaged in protecting the British fishing interests off the eastern coast. The screw steamship Princess Royal, 89, was towed on Friday from her moorings among the steam reserve in Hamoaze to the basin in Devon port dockyard. On Saturday she was to be placed in No. 1 dock to have her bottom cleaned and valves overhauled. It is suppo-ed that she will be prepared for commission fortiwith, and that she may be sent to Falmouth to take the place of the Coastguard screw steamship R usse ll, 60, C ap t a i n W. K.

The eminent feuilletoniste M. Fiorentino, who for many years has written the weekly theatrical reviews in the Con stttuttonnel, and also (but under the name of De Rovray) in the Moniteur, describes as follows, in the _France, a very rotten state of things behind the scenes of some of the French theatres : In France the manager of a theatre is not an ordinary trader ; he is half a functionary and half a commercial man. He owes his appointment to a minister, who, before grant ing him the very considerable monopoly and privilege in volved in the direction of a theatre, is supposed to have ob tained satisfactory information as to his probity, capacity, and solvency. For this cause the manager inspires more confidence, and has better credit with the public than a mere private adventurer—it is supposed, whether rightly or wrongly, he has given hostages for trustworthiness, that his acts are rigorously controlled, and that if he should violate his duties, either towards the actors or the public, he will necessarily be dismissed, and replaced by another man more capable, more honest, or more lucky. And in point of fact, no man stands in so much need of protection against his own enthusiasm as a theatrical manager. There is a gambling feature in theatrical enterprise which makes the wisest heads giddy. Managers are prone to risk on a single card, with the blind confidence of the gambler, not only the last farthing they possess, but much that is not theirs. They deceive themselves ; they make calculations upon chimerical successes—upon imaginary receipts, three fourths of which will be absorbed in expenses ; they promise what they can't perform ; they seek to gain time, and all the while throw down recklessly upon the same black or red hazard the money of their partners, their creaitors, and their friends— the bread of their wives and children, But they have never strength of mind to leave off playing : the seductions of that frightful green table, theatrical manage ment, keep a fast hold on their victim. If once in a hundred times they meet with success, prosperity is more perilous than ill fortune. With the rashness of the gambler they also contract his other vices—prodigality, dissipation, want of fo res i g ht.

Yesterday morning a fire of a very alarming cha racter was discovered by a police constable of the L division raging in the outbuildings belonging to Mr. W. Baterson, a potter, Pottery-yard, Tyer-street, Lambeth. The flames commenced, from some un known cause, in the stabling and provender lofts. Fortunately the whole of the horses were rescued, but the flames continued to spread, and eventually the fire penetrated the roof, and rose a considerable distance into the air. Lieut. Becker quickly attended, with the engines of the parish, and three of the London brigade, under the command of Mr. Hender son, chief officer of the D district. A splendid sup ply of water was immediately obtained from the mains of the Lambeth Company's works, and the firemen, taking advantage of the same, went to work, but were unable to get the flames extinguished until the stables and provender stores Were burned out, and the roof destroyed. The same morning about a quarter to 7 o'clock, a fire happened in the premises belonging to Mr. J• Downs, an eel-pie shop kee per, No. 156, High street, Shoreditch, the upper floors being let out in tenements. The room in which the disaster com menced was in the occup incy of Mr. C. Otway, a working man, and was caused b y some children playing with 'miter matches. Before the parents were aware of the outbreak the W h ole of the beds and other furniture en the floor became completely enveloped in flames , and ever y on the floor h a d t o rush out into the stre et almos t in a state of nu dity, carrying with them their childr en; but they were unable to save a single particle o f b edding or wear ing apparel, for the whole _ was quickly r e d uce d to ashes, and unfortunately Mr. Otway was uninsured. A great amount of damage h as been done to Mr. Downs' stock and furniture by water and rem ova l. During Saturday afternoon an explosion, fortu nately of a trifling c haracte r , took place in the north-east end tower of the Great International Exhibition, ow ing to an escape o f gas from one of the portable coppers in the scullery. The gasmen being present, the vapour was turned off, and the damage done was inconsiderable. )uld 'rom it, of lone le to pose a en ;hem r the OF a, be • rly of Flagg from ;Tess lady. adant =.:
