Yesterday there duly appeared, according to announcement in the Official Gazette at Turin, the Royal Decree of Amnesty, countersigned by Signor RATTAZZI. That counter•signature will, of course, render the tardy boon all tbe sweeter to GARI BALDI ! Particularly accompanied, as the Royal Decree is, by the Ministerial Report prefixed to it — the Report addressed to the Italian Sovereign by his wily Prime Minister. The announcement of the kingly clemency throwing open the door of the hero's prison at Varignano will have come so charmingly to the knowledge of the victor of Marsala, the hermit of Caprera, the victim of Aspromont , e, breathed as it is in the accents of no other than Signor URBAN RATTAZZI. If anything could possibly have tended to enhance for GARI BALDI the bitterness of the misfortunes befalling him in consequence of his late mad and most melancholy enterprise, it would be the time at whin, the man ner in which, and the medium through which the Amnesty is thrust upon his acceptance. It has been delayed so tediously and granted at last so grudg ingly. It has been conveyed to the wounded General's knowledge through a channel so peculiarly unacceptable. It has been vouch safed in a manner so insultingly condescending. " The motive," says Signor RATTAZZI, with ineffable and therefore most galling and irritating coolness, " The motive which had compelled your MAJESTY to withstand the generous intentions of your heart no longer exist. The rule of the law is again con solidated. Confidence in your frank but at the s a me time prudent policy has moderated the im patience which had pushed GARIBALDI on the path of rebellion. By the catastrophe of Aspromonte we could perceive that if, while fighting in your name, he would still achieve prodigious results, this could not continue to be the case when, having forgotten his duty, he took up arms against your rights, whatever might have b e en his ultimate intentions. At present Italy is reassured ; recalls the services rendered by GARIBALDI [what conde scension ! what affecting generosity!], and wishes to forget his errors. [So kind!] This desire of the country is echoed by all the friends of the liberty and unity of Italy," It was but very recently remarked by an eye - witness of the festive and courtly pageantries attend ant upon the late marriage of the young Princess, now Queen of PORTUGAL, that the jaunty form of the unpopular Italian Premier was ob served moving about among the glittering groups towards the close of those ceremonials, switching a little yellow cane with the air less of a statesman than of a petit maitre. Readie g these particularly self -complacent sentences in the Ministerial Report penned by Signor RATTAZZI—it seems for all the world as if he were labouring, for the moment, under the delusion that. while committing the words to paper, he was switching that little yellow cane across the shoulders of the Capt i ve of Varigneno. Quoth Signor RAT TAZZI, 'With a cheerful flourish of the pen or of the yellow cane—it seems difficult to decide which at the moment appeared to him to be more probably within his gras p —" When it was necessary to combat rebellion, the Government pro posed the most energetic measures. But all danger has now ceased. The Ministry therefore becomes the interpreter of these generous wishes, and asks clemency of your MAJESTY. We should have wished to extend this amnesty to all who have participated in the insurrection, but the necessity of upholding the sentiment of military duty in the army prevents us from including soldiers who have deserted amongst those to whom pardon is granted." The Minister addin g c , in regard to this with a sublime unconsciousness of tho imputations capable of being cast (certain in history to be cast) upon the secret p 3 r icy of his ad ministration, first of all in fostering GARIBALDI'S hones, and then in crushing them—‘ , The honour of our flag [the less said about that, by the way, a ft er Asproinonte, perhaps the better and the more ad vis:ible, all things considered !], the honour of our flag forbids our taking extenuating circumstances into consideration in their favour." Would it not be advisable, then, upon the same principle, to drag before some military tribunal, and to try, one after another, by court-martial, those officers in Sicily who, to the number of ten, twenty, thirty, forty, tore off their epaulettes, laid down their swords, voluntarily resigned the KING'S commis sion, rather than bear arms against him, whom, through good report and through ill report, they still regarded to the last, they still re gard, we may be sure, to this moment as the Greatest Soldier of Italy ? If merely "to think " the KING'S death, according to the axiom of the old loyal king-consults of the middle ages, was, in the eye of the law, not a jot less an act of ' " leze Majeste" than actually to attempt the assas sination of the SOVEREIGN —surely, by a parity of reasoning, it can scarcely be fair to deal thus harshly with the private soldiers of the Royal army of Italy, who would go With GARIBALDI, and yet, at the same time, with singular inconsistency, to deal so leniently with the officers of that Royal Army who would not go Against him ! Perhaps, upon mature reflection, the KING would do well to revise this part of his tardy, and still though tardy, incomplete, and because tardy, most ungracious Amnesty. After all that has been said about the "Riotous Meeting" in Hyde-park, we must frankly express our opinion that the picture has been overdrawn. Amongst such vast numbers, every one's indivi dual observation is, of course, limited. We can assure our readers that, being in the Park, and curious to see what was going on, we easily got to within a few yards of the foot of the mound, and remained near it till the people began to disperse, and the last word we could think of applying to the affair would be the word " Riot." There was no organisation on the part of the vast majority—the Garibaldians—because the Working Men's Committee had declined to hold the projected public meeting; still, all without concert, as the action was on their part, though more than thirty to one, they did nothing brutal. The Irishmen were, certainly, the aggressors. They took possession of what had been the Gari baldiani platform ; and, though there had been no intention to use it to-day, yet it was rather too much for Englishmen's patience to see the Gari baldi platform occupied by his enemies. The Irish, too, were the aggressors, in coming armed with formidable cudgels, while nu one else had more than -a light walking cane. At length, after a very large mass of Englishmen, all, of course, favourable to the cause of the Italian Hero, had gathered round the mound, it was resolved that the POPE'S own, and a ragged regiment they were, should not carry off the honours of the day. Summoned to capitulate they refused, and no alter native was left but to dislodge them. This was at last accomplished by not mere than seven or eight fine fellows of the Guards, who after one or two attempts—meeting cudgels with fists, or wresting them from their possession—drove the Papal band down among the crowd. Cardinal WISEMAN, like a prudent general, kept out of harm's way, and only visited the outskirts of the field in his carriage, around which a large crowd collected; what orders he gave, no one conveyed to our ears. Doubtless they were touching peace on earth—with perhaps a pro mise of absolution to any who should break the peace, er Garibaldian heads, in honour of the Holy Father. _ Of course, when a knot of the angry Paddies got among the crowd, and were beginning to ex press their wrath by the use of their shillelaghs, the crowd would give them chase, wrest their clubs from them, and hand them over to the care of the police. Many such episodes we saw, but none within our observation which amounted to more than rather rough sport. Irishmen, indeed, must have thought it very gentle sport. We cannot doubt that in the Seven Dials, at night, the verdict was, that the Englishmen were flats for not break ing every one of their heads with their own sticks. The truth is, we never saw a better looking public meeting, all with hardly an exception, save the Irish, who rejoiced in moleskin jackets, and those not always of the cleanest, were really well dressed. Had GARIBALDI himself seen the meeting from the top of the mound, he must have thought that one or two hundred thousand of the " respectability" of the metropolis had turned out to honour their favourite Patriot. When the " Redan," as the mound was called, was gained, of course the cheering was tremendous—" GARIBALDI for ever," "Down with the POPE," and a forest of hands (not dirty, as has been stated, we can affirm from seeing them) held up for the hero, naturally followed. The military heroes of the Redan were then hoisted on the shoulders of the people who had followed them up the mound, including a young Scotch drummer, and of course amidst enthusiastic cheering. The soldiers certainly did their part like true Britons ; instead of indulging such a coward thought as to use their bayonets, notwithstanding the provocation of being resisted with clubs, they did not even use their sword belts, and clapped their hands on their own bayonets to prevent their being drawn out, actually fighting with but one hand. In fact, the whole affair, so far as we could see—and we saw a great deal—would be much more properly described as a " lArk" than a " Riot." Certainly the public peace was not endangered. No one who did not like the game had any occasion to mingle in it. We can hear of but one felony in the immense crowd. Good temper and laughter, not fury, were, to our knowledge, the order of the day. Indeed, but for the anger of Cardinal WISEMAN'S corps, and their unjustifiable violence against the vast numbers who really met them with remarkable good humour, there would not have been more roughness than is incident to many popular games. We have thought it but fair to the public who were not present, to tell them all we saw, lest they should form their opinion exclusively from the police report s, and from thos e of others to w h o m the meeting presented a very diff e rent suffered no inconvenience, were aspect. We can on ly say, that i n t h e very midst of it all we exposed to no dang er, and though we might n ow and then have to exclaim at the violence of an irate Paddy, and to lament the temporary suffering of his victim, it almost always ended in a hearty laugh at the way in which the clublaw man was "served out." Whatever blame there was certainly rests with the Irish. They were the BOWYERS and O'DoNo- H UES, of a mob ; nor, do we know that the Paddies caught much worse relative treatment than the commoners meet with, when they see fit to de nounce Italy and her Hero to an assembly w hich heartily believes in them. What can posses s the POPE's Parli amen t ar y I r ish brigade, or hi s Seven Dials brigade, to merge all their feelings as Britons, in fighting for what is now the nuisance to Liberal Europe—the POPE'S temporal power — we cannot understand. Enjoying as they do the liberties purchased by revolution at home--enjoy- ing as Catholics the religious liberties and civil rights, purchased by almost revolutionary but quite justifiable proceedings in Ireland, under the reign of O'CONNOR—to US and to all Englishmm it seems like the most heartless ingratitude not to wish for Catholics at Rome the privileges Catholics in Eng land, and in other countries too, so largely e n j oy . If they were superstitious enough to believe that their soul's eternal salvation depended on the POPE'S temporal power, we might, while the super stition lasted, excuse their selfishness. But see ing that the POPE has himself explicitly declared that the " temporal power is no t a dogma of faith"—their illiberality is surprising, and it ne- • cessarily alienates all respectable Englishmen from them. To deny to Italian Catholics what they clamour for as Irish or English Catholics—to de mand that French bayonets shall for ever hold the necks of the Romans under the feet of the POPE-- to see Italian Catholics ground beneath the worst government of Europe, and denied the slightest freedom of speech, writing, or action—while they themselves go to the verge of treason—to look on all this with complacency, that their Vicar of CHRIST, as they believe him to be, may clutch to the last a worldly dominion openly repudiated by CHRIST himself—such things as these it is which nourish the deep-seated hatred of JOHN BULL to the Papacy. If Popery — is the short and homely argument—can so dena tionalise British Freemen, then it is not worthy to be the religion of Freemen. We much wonder that Cardinal WISEMAN and the priests, who have abso lutely in their power the ignorant and brutal rabble who dishonoured their religion in Hyde Park last Sunday, do not issue their fiat against these proceedings. One word from his carriage on Sunday would have sent his riff-raff home in quiet. Why was it not given ? We must confess we think it much more reasonable that he should tell his Irish, from the altar, that they must not break heads for the POPE, and to punish sympathy with civil and religious liberty at Rome—than, that the tens of thousands of decent working people in London should be pro hibited from peacefully expressing their opinions in Hyde-park. If anything be prevented, it should be the carrying of bludgeons or any other offensive weapons in the parks. We should be slow to de more than hinder from their purpose those who went to an open-air meeting, as well as to an in door meeting, with obviously violent intentions. Enough, we should think, if the authorities showed heir determination to protect all who assembled )eacefully. A Pathetic Appeal (or perhaps it should be called more correctly Protest) was published eleven years ago in London against the Costume of Civilians in familiar life nowadays. It was signed, this document, by a great number of well known and influential persons peculiarly competent to pro nounce an opinion upon the subject—artists, critics, and the like. It appeared at the time of the first great International gathering to take part in the grand intellectual feast of a vast industrial and scientific and artistic Exhibition. It was written literally pro bono publico, and was addresEed to the world at large while the Crystal Palace was yet glittering upon the green sward of Hyde Park. Among the signatures appended to the Appeal or Protest, were those of Mr. Tom Taylor and Mr. George Godwin, and of many of our dis tinguished Royal Academicians; among them — Charles Leslie and Charles Landseer, David Roberts and Abraham Cooper, H. W. Pickersgill and W. F. Witherington. The majority of the public at large, we doubt not, have for gotten long since everything whatever about the protest we are here alluding to. It has been reproduced nevertheless in its entirety not long ago, recomposed, reprinted, republished by womanly hands at Miss Emily Faithful's esta blishment. One paragraph of this singular docu ment we are tempted here to reproduce ourselves in the form of a quotation. It is the paragraph in which the whole purport of the Appeal or Protest may be said, within the compass of a very few words, to have been condensed. It runs as follows " Not to dwell on serious evils in regard to health and comfort, arising from deficiency of ready adaptability to the hourly variations of weather, it is remarkable, at this period of advancing taste in architecture, furniture, and decoration of every inanimate object, that little regard is paid to a suitable presence. No costume of which there are any traces was ever so inconsistent with grace, simplicity, and dignity of aspect, none so uselessly complicated, as an Euro pean's of the present day. The unity of the figure is frit tered away. Stiff lines and angles disguise the body, and an uncouth hat crowns the disfiguration. Groups of men in the ordinary garb gratify no taste but that of caricature ; neither painting or sculp ture can advantageously transmit to futurity a faithful representation of any event constituted of such a group. Nor does admixture of female fashions often ob viate the difficulty. Family groups of the present date have seldom any charm beyond the kindred circle. To ex pect from art truthful representations of events in which our contemporaries are engaged in their usual habits is to expect meanness of aspect to express all that is noble. Interesting as such faithful painting and sculpture would certainly be to posterity, they must remain unattempted until dress displays the flowing lines and harmonious colours in which nature and art delight. Historical sub jects must continue to be sought in remote periods, and to exemplify chiefly the imagination of the artist ; genuine scenes of great interest will remain unknown in this high department of art." Eleven years have elapsed since our artists, and critics pleaded thus earnestly with the common sense of their fellowmen against their dogged persistence in slavishly following out the absurdities of what is called Fashion. Yet, since then, within this last decade, there has certainly been effected but very little improvement, indeed, in the manner suggested. Oar male heads are still crowned with the odious chimney-pot. And if in coat, waistcoat, and " continuation s,' , (as our Yankee cousins first delicately ex pressed the forbidden word descriptive of the nether garment), there are undeniable changes for the better in the way of the easier fit, arising from a greater amplitude of raiment about the limbs and body—there are still left those sharp and decidedly inartistic angles complained of in the foregoing extract, angles re sulting from the union, particularly upon the breast of certain sharply defined lines, diagonal, hori zontal, and perpendicular. As to the changes that have taken place in female costume during these last ten or eleven years, they are in every respect nothing less than really deplorable. The fantastic apology for a bonnet now in vogue, being only sur passed in absurdity by the nonsensical and cruelly destructive crinoline. The general adoption at last, by Englishmen, of the beard has led to one humanizing improve meat at least in our habits, and to another in our costume. The daily torture of rasping the face with a razor has been, for the most part, very sensibly abandoned. The semi-strangulation produced by the united age ncy of the stiff upright shirt-collar and the tight-fitting stock—has given place to the ease of a clothing for the throat more compatible with a sense of comfort in exist ence. Cannot a new and better epoch in the annals of Everyday Costume date now from this second Exhibition. Will not some benevolent genius devote his energies so effectually to enhance our personal comforts, that be will rid us at last of this horrible cylindrical extinguisher called a hat? A happy thought in this way by some ingeni ous inventor might turn any felicitous substitute for a hat, for him (the inventor) into a very " Cap of FORTUNATUS'' a cap, that is, that would prove to its contriver a very "Purse of FORTUNATUS." __,----. THE DON BARONETCY..—,ThiS baronetcy will shortly be taken up by Mr. Wauchope of Edmonstone, who is now being served heir-male to the title, through his great grandfather, Patrick Don, who assum ed the name of Wauchope on succeeding to the Edmoustone estate, --Kelso Hail. THE SUM LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING"-, - OCI I OI3ER, 7, 1862. HER MAJESTY'S I/ ISIT TO GERMANY.—Hex Majesty the Queen arrived at Coburg on Friday, at six o'clock in the afternoon, from Rheinhardtsbrunn. THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK.—The important office of Primate of England, which is about to become vacant by the translation of the Most Rev. Dr. C. T. Longley to the Primacy of all England, was a few days since offered by Lord Palmerston, on the part of the Crown, to the Lord Bishop of London. In consequence of the manner in which the Bishop of London's energies have been overtaxed since he was raised to the episcopate in 1856, and the effect which his great exertions in his diocese have have had upon his general health, it was thought that his lordship would avail himself of the opportunity thus offered to him of succeeding to a quieter sphere of labour, but his lord ship has, after mature consideration, declined the honour which the Prime Minister proposed to confer upon him, and wtll continue to discharge the heavy and responsible duties of the metropolitan diocese. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—About four o'clock yesterday afternoon a young man named Peter Moss, a compositor, with another young man, were sailing on the river in a skiff, with the main and fore sail set. When off Deptfcrd a squall capsized the boat, in consequence of the main sheet having been made fast, and the boat being with out ballast. Moss sank, and was not seen again. The body was not found. The other young man was rescued. METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL, DEVONSHIRE SQUARE, CITY.—The aggregate number of patients admitted during the week ending Oct. 4 was—medical, 1,406; surgi cal, 648—total, 2,064; of which 743 were now cases. A new system of laying the dust without water ing the carriage-way, has been for some time in operation in the Avenue des Champs Elysees, It consists of sprink ling the road with chloride of calcium, which, being re markable for its power of absorbing moisture, soon becomes damp, and thereby prevents any dust from rising even in the hottest day. Should it be found to answer, it will be more generally introduced, and thus in a great measure do away with the watering-carts, the use of which is not un frequently attended with inconvenience. The indemnity claimed from the Chinese on be half of Mr. Bowlby, the correspondent of the limes, who was murdered during the China war, has been received, and paid over to his widow. In addition to this a hand some sum has, we understand, been given by the proprie tors of the journal in whose service he came to so un timely and cruel an end. THE RIOT IN HYDE-PARK.—Yesterday several additional casualties to those mentioned in the newspapers came to light, and reports were very generally current through the West- end that a private in the Grenadier Guards had died in the night from injuries which he sus tained in the disgraceful fray in Hyde-park. The result, however, of inquiries made by the reporter at the hospital of the Grenadier Guards, Rochester-row, Westminster, last evening, shows that during the fray a private in the Grena dier picket, ordered into the park for the purpose of march ing off the men belonging to that regiment, had been con veyed in a cab to the hospital in a seriously injured condi tion from a heavy blow on the skull, apparently from a bludgeon, and where he now remains under medical treat ment, but not considered to be in danger. Another private was admitted shortly afterwards with an extensively con tused wound on the cheek-bone. He was not of the picket but in the park on his own responsibility, and as he also is considered to be out of danger there appears to be no truth in the rumour that life has been sacrificed. It is to be re gretted, nevertheless, that two Irishmen, named respec tively Samuel Thorne and Timothy Murphy, both of Gray's buildings, Manchester-square, lie at St. George's Hospital badly stabbed by sharp instruments, the first-named (who was brought to the hospital yesterday morning early) in the hip, and the other in both thighs. It is also stated on good authority that a Mr. Gibson, of Highbury, was roughly handled by the Irish and badly cut with a knife in the face as he was peaceably passing along the park in the height of the melee, and had to be removed to his home in a cab. Advices from Athens state that nearly two hundred soldiers who deserted on the reduction of Nauplia and took refuge in Italy have been pardoned and authorised to return to their country. The decree for this act of par don was issued on the occasion of the anniversary of the attempt on the life of the Queen by Dosios, from which her Majesty so providentially escaped. Koronaios and Boul garis, the leaders of the insurrection, alone are excluded from the effects of the Royal clemency. The Austrian Ministry has instructed all the provincial governors to obtain accurate information as to the probabilities of operatives emrloyed in the cotton manu facture being thrown out of work in the coming winter, and to take measures for their relief if necessary. The commercial advices from New York show a strong impression among the leading merchants that a period of political anarchy is at hand, and that the termi nation of the war will ultimately take place from a crisis of confusion in the Northern States. One observer remarks, with reference to the effect produced by the emancipation decree, that if there should be no European intervention it is highly probable a revolutionary struggle will soon be witnessed both in the North and West. The next appre hensions of Federal disaster were centred on the expected fall of Louisville, and it was assumed that if that event should take place the Legislature of Kentucky will meet forthwith and vote their State out of the Union—an ex ample likely to be followed by Tennessee and Missouri. Still it is said there is a large party among the Abolitionists who firmly believe, not only in the speedy subjuga tion of the South, but also in the ability of the country " to take vengeance on England immediately afterwards," the latter being an idea in which they find warm sympathisers among other classes who agree with them in nothing else. In fact, it. is said that among these persons the animosity to the South is a secondary feeling compared with that en tertained towards England. Business of all kinds was in a state of complete uncertainty, and the fluctuations in the stock-market are violent in proportion to the alterations in the rate of exchange, since, as the quotations are in the paper currency, in proportion as the flood increases the prices of securities must rise. Wheat continues to be shipped on a large scale, the total consignments of the week having been about 120,000 quarters. One consequence of the increasing symptoms of political distrust is that some of the most wealthy families are taking their departure for Europe. The tenants of the Castletown Estate, in the county Limerick, have sent an address to Colonel Hare, in which they indignantly deny that his late murdered agent was harsh or unfeeling. He was, on the contrary, as kind and considerate as he could be consistently with his duty. They have every reason to deplore his loss, and to feel most grateful to their landlord. The Cork Reporter men tions a circumstance connected with this case which has not been made public :—:k son of Hayes had been tried for the murder of a tenant named Quinlan, and was acquitted on account of some flaw in the case, though evidence left little room for doubt. When he got out of gaol Mr. Brad- dell required the father, Michael Hayes, to send him to America, on pain of eviction, which he readily promised, Mr, Braddell insisted that it should be done, It was not done, and proceedings were taken to eject the elder Hayes from his holding, and were pending when the murder was committed, Berlin letters confirm the intelligence that the Prince Royal of Prussia and the Princess Victoria will not return to the Prussian capital, but, on leaving Coburg, will make a long tour in Switzerland and Italy. Owing to the political circumstances in which Prussia has been placed during the conflict between the Crown and the Second Chamber, this sudden departure excited surprise at Berlin. It is said that the Emperor Napoleon has jast purchased Malmaison, the residence of the Empress Jose phine after her divorce, from Queen Christina. He already possesses considerable estates in the environs, La Jonchere, Saint-Cucuta, and the greater put of the woods of Mal- maison.

NAPLES, OCT. 6. Prince Napoleon and Princess Clotilde have ar rived here. General della Marmora went to meet them on bond the Prince Jerome. Their Imperial Ilignesses, on disembarking, were conveyed in a State carriage along the Strada di Toledo to the Canodimonti Palace. In the evening they drove through the Chinja. ROME, OCT. 6. The rope has left for Castle Gondolfo, after having visited Francis 11. TURIN, MONDAY. Intelligence received here from Fort Varignano states that Garibaldi has passed a restless night. His sufferings are caused by continually lying in the same position. Numerous assassinations with the dagger having recently taken place in Sicily, a decree has been issued by the Extraordinary Commissioner of the Government, ordering the disarmament of the island, with the exception of the public force, the National Guards while on active duty, the consuls, and consular agents. TURIN, MONDAY EVENING. The Official Gazette of this evening publishes the Royal decree of amnesty, countersigned by Signor Rattazzi. The decree is preceded by a report of the Mini ster to the King. The Minister in his report says :—" The motives which had counselled your Majesty to withstand the generous intentions of your heart no longer exist. The rule of the law is again consolidated. Confi dence in your frank, but at the same time prudent, policy, has moderated the impatience which had pushed Garibaldi on the path of rebellion. By the catastrophe of Aspromonte we could perceive that if, while fighting in your name, he would still achieve prodigious results, this could not con tinue to be the case when, having forgotten his duty, he took up arms against 3 our rights, what ever might have been his ultimate intentions. At present Italy is reassured, recalls the services ren dered by Garibaldi, and wishes to forget his errors. This desire of the country is echoed by all the friends of the liberty and unity of Italy. " When it was necessary to combat rebellion the Government proposed the most energetic measures. But all danger has now ceased. The Ministry, therefore, becomes the interpreter of these generous wishes, and asks clemency from your Majesty. We should have wished to extend this amnesty to all who have participated in the insurrection, but the necessity of upholding the sentiment of military duty in the army, prevents us from including soldiers who have deserted amongst those to whom pardon is granted. " The honour of our flag forbids our taking extenuating circumstances into consideration in their favour.' LISBON, OCT. 6 (Evening). On the arrival of the Portuguese squadron from Genoa, the King went on board the Bartholomew Diaz in the Royal barge, and brought the Queen to the Pavilion in Commercial-square, where they were received by the Mu-,icipat Chamber. A procession was then formed to the church of St. Dominio, where the Patriarch performed the marriage ceremony. The procession returned to the Pavilion amid salvos of artillery. The keys of the city were then presented to their Majesties and the troops marched past. A procession was formed to the Palace of Ajuda, where a State banquet was given. The Royal pair afterwards drove round the city, and were enthusiastically received. The weather was very fine. The city is illuminated this evaning. FRANCE.

The National Committee at Rome posted up in that city on the 27th ult. the following document : "Nations, let us rejoice! Fruitful germ of the illustrious mother of the Latin races, the solemn knot which unites Louis 1., King of the Portuguese, to Maria Pia of Savoy, cherished daughter of Victor Emmanuel 11., liberator and King of Italy, tightens our common bonds of origin, of civilization, and of glory with the heroic land of Camoens and Game. Go, young Royal girl, to happiness! The wishes of nations attend you, those wishes which your invincible father has realised in constituting the unity of the nation, after ages of slavery. Rome in wishing you eternal felicity and the j o y s o f a noble descent, finds even in those wishes an allevia tion of the oppression under which she labours." WHOLESALE MUNICIPAL DISFRANCHISEMENT.— At a court of assession held yesterday at Wolverhampton for the revision of the burgess' roll, nearly 3,000 names of persons, tenants of houses, the rates for which are paid by composition by the landlords, were struck off the roll. The Small Tenements Act, by which the municipal as well as the parochial electoral rights of such indirect ratepayers are preserved to them, does not extend to Wolverhampton, wherein the composition of rates had been previously pro vided for by a local act, wherein the tenants' parochial elector al rights only are preserved to them. By the cour tesy of Mr. 11. Underhill, who appeared in support of the objections, Dl r. H. Sidney, a retired linendraper and a popu lar member of the Board of Guardians, was allowed to argue from the fact that the local act was obtained previous to the incorporation of the borough that it was intended to preserve all the electoral rights of such persons; but Mr. Underhill stated that the restriction to parochial electoral rights was en amendment to the original bill that was in sisted upon by the House of Lords when the bill was passed in 1847. The assessors decided that the objection was fatal, and struck off all the names so objected to. Mr. Sidney said this decision would be appealed against to the Court of Queen's Bench, where the question would be raised by an application for a mandamus. About half-a-dozen only of the persons objected to were present, and the pro ceedings, though generally known, did not appear to excite the slightest general interest, DRURYLANE THEA7RE. Mr. Leigh Murray, who has been long absent from the stage, last night reappeared here in his favourite part of Mons. Turbillon, in Mr. Tom Taylor's drama of "Parents and Guardians." The poor hunted French usher, with his varied emo tions, is nicely conceived and cleverly pourtrayed by Mr. Leigh Murray. It is scarcely, however, in such a character that the full powers of Mr. Mur ray can be displayed. His present appearance is only preparatory to his leaving us for the Southern hemisphere. Wherever he goes he will be welcomed as a powerful addition to the stage. SURREY THEATRE. This favourite theatre has reopened after a brief recess, during which time the interior has been thoroughly re-embellished, under the sole manage ment of Mr. Shepherd. In the decoration the best taste has been exercised, and the theatre now pre sents an appearance unequalled by any other minor house in London. If an opening night can be taken as an augury of success, Mr. Shepherd can have no doubt about the success of his venture on the perilous sea of theatri cal management, as long before the rising of the curtain every seat in the capacious theatre was occupied, and previous to the com mencement of the evening's entertainment the visitors gave expression of their approval of the manner in which their comfort had been provided for. Amongst the company Mr. Shepherd has banded round him are many of the old favourites and several new candidates for public favour, and the new five act drama, entitled " The Medal of Bronze, or the Queen of Innocents," afforded ample opportunity for the display of their ability. The foundation of the drama is the endeavour of the population of France during the reign of Henri Quartre to rid themselves of the Italian favourites of the French Queen, who by their offensive be haviour had made themselves thoroughly obnoxious to the people, who looked upon the Count Con cini as a fureign upstart and impostor, and his wife as a wily intriguer, whose only object was self aggrandisement, even at the expanse of the lives of those who stood between her and the object of her ambition. At the opening of the play we find Concini arranging for the assassination of Henri Quatre with one Ravaillac, with whom he divides a medal of bronze, to which is at tached some magical qualities, as a token of his sincerity and an earnest of what he may expect after the French King had been provided for. The interest of the audience having been thus awakened, we are next introcluced to Margot and her sweetheart Jacques Bonhomme, a good-hearted tailor and shoemaker who becomes entangled in the snares of Cencini, by the fact that in purchase for some articles which be intends to use as a disguise he gives Jacques the half of the bronze medal in place of a current coin. Jacques, after the assassination of the King, fearing that the possession of the illfated talisman, the other half of which has been found on Ravaillac, will lead to his destruction, becomes so restless and excited that eventually he hides the half medal in the Cemetery of the Innocents, and afterwards through the villany of Concini he is immured in a lunatic asylum, in order to prevent anything being known in relation to his bargain with the unfortunate tailor. The utmost importance is attached to the recovery of the half of the medal, as it is supposed that it will undoubtedly prove the means of dis covering the accomplice of Ravaillac, and this no one seems more to anticipate than the Countess of Concini. A lapse of years occurs between the acts, and then we find Jacques returned to his home through the intercession of his friends, he having, it is supposed, become an inoffensive lunatic. His friends, from certain observations he has made, imagining that he may know the accom plice of the assassin of the King, induce him to endeavour to recover the relic, and for that purpose he goes to the Cemetery of the Inno cents; but the Countess who has overheard the arrangement, arrives at the spot first. She, how ever, is unable to raise the stone under which the relic is concealed, waits until Jacques has possessed himself of the treasure, and then to regain it, she stabs the lunatic in the back ; but, unfortunately for her, before she can obtain her object, the friends of Jacques arrive. She escapes, and the half medal is given into the possession of the sworn avenger of the King's death. The young King Louis XIII. has an instinctive hatred of Concini, and more than suspects him, but until the half medal is forthcoming he has not the necessary proof to accuse him. This is at last produced, but the friends of Louis, stung by the villany of Concini, anticipate all trial, and the Italian adventurer is stabbed to death as he descends the marble staircase of the Louvre. 01 course the Countess is banished, Jacques and Mar got rewarded ; in fact justice is meted out to all, and the curtain descended amidst loud cries of "Long live King Louis." As a spectacle, nothing can exceed the splendour with which it is places upon the stage. The arrangement of the different tableaux with which each act terminates is most artistic, and the defeat of Concini in the first act, the vision in the Cemetery, the King's sleeping apartment in the Louvre, and, finally, the grand staircase of the Palace, are complete triumphs of stage illusion. Mr. Shepherd sustained the part of Jacques Bon homme in a manner that calls for the highest praise. Mr. Basil Potter as the King, Mr. M'Clean as Con cini, Mr. Robinson as Henriot, Miss Pauncefort as the Countess Concini, and Miss Clifford as Margot, sustained their parts with the greatest satisfaction. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Shepherd was called for, and received quite an ovation. The next attraction of the night was the looking glass curtain, before which a very pretty ballet is performed. This curiosity will, no doubt, attract immensely. A more novel sight is not to be wit nessed in the metropolis. CITIZEN BONAPARTE ON THE ROMAN QUESTION. —When, in 1848, the French National Assembly delibe rated on the despatch, by General Cavaignac, of a French army to Civita-Vecchia to protect the Pope, the Emperor Napoleon, who was then Citizen Bonaparte, wrote this letter to the Constitutionnel newspaper :—" Sir,—Knowing that my absence in the vote on the expedition to Civita- Vecchia was remarked, I think it right to declare that, though resolved to support all measures calculated to gua rantee the liberty and authority of the Sovereign Pontiff, I nevertheless could not by my vote approve of a military demonstration which seems to me perilous, even for the sacred interests it is desired to protect, and which is calcu lated to compromise European peace.—L. N. BONAPARTE. Dec. 2, 1848." THE DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR MIL FORD JUNCTION.—The public are already in possession of a few of the facts relative to the accident which happened between 11 and 12 o'clock at night on Friday last, at a short distance from the Sherburn station on the North- Eastern line, and near to the Milford Junction, when a stoker named Wm. Markham was killed on the spot, and others were injured. On Monday, John Wood, Esq., coroner, held an inquest at the Wheatsheaf Inn, situate within 200 or 300 yards of the scene of the catastrophe, the jury being sworn to decide on the cause of death of the stoker Markham. The jury, before any evidence was given, proceeded to view the place where the catastrophe occurred. All the debris Lad been removed, and the line put again into proper working order, there being nothing to indicate that an accident had happened. From the evidence ad duced it seemed that the deceased was an engine stoker on a goods train from Darlington to Normanton. On Friday , night, shortly before half-past 11 o'clock, there was a col lision between this train and one from Hull to York, the accident happening near the Sherburn station. The de ceased was found dreadfully mangled underneath one of the waggons, several having passed over him. After the col lision, Mr. Tuff, an official, went to the spot, and from in quiries which he made, he ascertained from Davison, the driver of the Darlington engine, that there was no signal fur stopping on the line, and he therefore proceeded at his usual speed towards Normanton. At the same time a train from Hull came up, and a pointsman held up a red lamp, and called out "hold on;" but this was not observed, the Hull train passed on, and the collision took place. If the Hull train had remained on the branch line until the signal had been given the accident would not have occurred. The driver of this train, whose name is Howden, has been em ployed for a length of time in that capacity, and therefore was well acquainted with the signals. At the time our re port was despatched the inquest was proceeding, and whether any blame was attributable to the men in charge of the train the testimony then given did not sufficiently disclose. _ .

SIR,—A few days ago, in several London journals, a communication from Italy was published, in which atten tion was drawn to the great afflictions to which Kossuth, in the course of the present year, has been doomed ; first, by the death of his youthful and only daughter, and then, re cently. by the threatening state of the malady from which his wife was suffering. As many of Kessuth's English friends have on this occasion testified their kind remem brance of him by inquiries respecting his wife's state of health, and some by the rumours circulated were induced to believe that the hope of her recovery has been entirely given up, you will, sir, bestow a favour upon the late gover nor of Hungary and his friends, if, in acknowledgment, and for the satisfaction of those kind inquiries, you would insert in your valuable journal the information that Ma- , dame Kossuth, whose dangerous disease consisted of an injury in her chest, occasioned by an accident, and not looked after during her long and painful attendance upon her lamented daughter, has been for a time in such a posi tion as to be declared by the physicians incurable unless subjecting herself to the chances of a surgical operation; this grave operation, however, has been a few days ago successfully achieved by the celebrated Professor Burei, of Florence, with the assistance of Professor Bruno and Dr. Berti, and the invalid, although as yet not free from suf ferings naturally following upon a surgical operation, has been pronounced to be out of danger. The relief derived from the solution of his wife's dangerous state will, we hope, enable Kossuth to resume his wonted activity in the service of his country's cause.—l am, &c., A FRIEND AND COUNTRYMAN Oct. 4. OF KOSSUTIPS, IHE GRAND DUKE CONSTAN7INE'S ADD.RESS, The following speech was made by the Grand Duke Constantine at the opening of the session of the General Assembly of the Council of State on October 1. The speech was delivered in the Polish language : Gentlemen—ln addressing you for the first time in. this assembly, I wish above all things to assure you that the painful circumstances which prevented me from taking part in the proceedings of your last session have not chilled my good intentions towards the country. Full of faith in the protection of Providence, I reckon on the loyal sentiments and attachment of good citizens, of which the Council of State has already given proof. In fulfilling the duties which the will of my august brother, our gracious sovereign, has devolved upon me, I shall never cease to look forward. to the welfare of the kingdom of Poland. The Government of which I am the head will never deviate from the legal path and will never permit any departure from it with im punity. I shall consider myself happy in being able to exercise liberally the noblest of the prerogatives with which lam invested—the prerogative of mercy; but in its exer• cise I cannot allow myself to lose sight of public justice, the interests and the security of the community. Out of 499 persons who have been condemned since the state of siege, 134 have undergone their punishment, 289 have been. pardoned, 7 have fled, and 69 are still undergoing their sen tence. The institutions which were granted last year are everywhere about to come into operation. The district councils in the greater part of the country have conclusled their first session. The delegations which have issued from them will commence their important labours regarding taxa tion, and will, no doubt, justify the confidence which the legislature has reposed in them. The municipal councils are performing their duties with advantage. The petitions of 17 towns, recently presented, for the establishment of similar councils in them, are a new proof that the utility of this institution is fully appreciated by the country. Simultaneously with your deliberations the opening of a superior school and of a polytechnic school has taken place, as well as those other educational establishments which you considered to be required by the wants of the country, when you last year voted the law on public education, the elabo ration of which forms one of the great merits of my col league, the chief of the civil power. Since your last deli berations, his Majesty, in his paternal solicitude, has deigned to give new guarantees to the administrative au tonomy of the country, by decreeing the independence of several branches of service, such as those of the post-office and public highways. The reforms effected last year will require some change in our financial system. The abolition of the carves, which obliges the proprietors of the land to employ hired labour, has exhibited the inconvenience of the tax to which the tillers of the soil and other agricultural servants are exposed. The koszerne tax, inasmuch as it is exclusively religious, is not in harmony with the spirit of recent legislation as regards the equality of the civil rights of the Jews, in the introduction of which the Government of his Majesty has received from ycu such active co-opera tion. The abolition of both those taxes is projected, and, in order to replace the deficit which will be occasioned thereby, it is proposed to increase the duty on the manufacture of spirits. Moral considerations and the true interest of the proprietors, as of the cultivators, equally require these al terations. Besides those projects, you 'will have to examine the budget of the receipts and expenditure of the kingdom for the year 1863, as well as the reports of the officials for the year just past. A bill on forced expropriation, on the payment of taxes and Treasury rents, on the establishment of a court of appeal in the Council of State for business re lating to the taxes, and, lastly, a bill for the internal or ganisation of the Council of State, will be submitted to your deliberation. I now declare the session to be open. PROPOSED SURREY COUNTY HOSPITAL.--The project of establishing a hospital at Guildford, for the kat& of the rural portions of the county of Surrey, at present wholly without hospital accommodation, is pro gressing as favourably as could have been anticipated. Although the subject had for some time occupied the atten tion of earnest and zealous men, it was not until the end of last April that it was brought prominently before the pub lic, A county meeting was then held under the presidency of Mr. S. Gurney, M. P,, and the undertaking met with liberal encouragement. A committee was formed, including the names of most of the aristocracy of the county, and the Earl of Onslow generously presented an eligible site on the slope of the far-famed Hog's Back, close to the railway sta tion, and overlooking the town. Already donations towards the object have been promised to the extent of £5,580, but it is estimated that at least £lO,OOO is required to erect such a building as would be worthy of the county and of the illustrious individual whose memory it is intended to com memorate, for it was unanimously determined at the public meeting that the hospital should be specially associated with the name of their late Prince Consort. In order to facilitate the raising of the money, one or two munificent conditional offers have been made of £5OO, on five other per sons subscribing a like amount. One of these conditional offers will be withdrawn on the 14th inst. if the terms in volved in the offer be not complied with by that date ; and and as two sums of £5OO yet remain to be subscribed in order to complete the six, the committee are naturally a me what anxious upon this head. It is felt to be a reproach upon Surrey, with her growing population, that whilst Sussex has three hospitals, Bent three, and Hants two, she has none, except the strictly metropolitan hospitals of Guy's and St. Thomas's. Guildford, being the most cen tral portion of the county, the point for convergence of several lines of railway, an unusually healthy locality, and, withal, the county town of Surrey, seems to be peculiarly well adapted for the site of the Surrey County Memorial Hospital, the first stone of which we hope to see laid early in the ensuing year. MR. GLADSTONE IN THE NORTH.—SO much attention is directed to the approaching visit of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer to our neighbourhood, that our readers will probably be interested in the following pro gramme of next week's proceedings, which we believe may be relied on as correct .—The Right Hon.
