After a troublous and contemptible reign of thirty years' duration, King OTHO of Greece is now some where (no one at the moment knows precisely where), a fugitive from his dominions ! His late dominions, it should be said, for the Bavarian Monarch of the Greek Kingdom has already it ap pears formally abdicated. He is discrowned. He is in exile. The sceptre held so long, by turns, timorously and temerariously—now often all but dropping from a grasp the most feeble and relaxed,or again clutched with fitful and spasmodic grips of evanescent determination—the sceptre confided by the Five Great Powers to the boy of seventeen in the October of 1832, has now at last abruptly in the October 1862, fallen from the hand of the man of forty-seven : fallen from his hand we may be cer tain this time for once and for all. The Revolution of 1843 was, in truth, no more than the threat of what the Revolution, but just now brought to light by a few flashes of the telegraph, has at length actually accomplished. It is not only the Bavarian Prince who has disappeared, but with him has vanished from the scene also the Bavarian Dynasty. " No mistake this time"—those have virtually been the watchwords, OTHO has fallen after his thirty years, like Louis PHILIPPE after his seventeen. The departure of the KING and his Royal Consort from the shores of Greece, bears no resem blance whatever to the departure from the shores of France of CHARLES X. It is LetTIS PHILIPPE'S flight all over. It is, in its general result at least, the very counterpart of Louts PHILIPPE'S abdica tion. In favour of his brother, LEOPOLD, the Greek KING abdicated—but as vainly as the French KING abdicated in favour of his grandson, the Comte DE PARIS. The Chambers, the People, the Provisional Government—in each instance—would have none of it. The Royal standard, flying so long—in each instance—above the vessel of the State, was not simply lowered, was not merely torn into rib bons by the blasts of the political hurricane, but, at once, in a twinkling, flagstaff and all —went by the board! No more of King OTHO and Queen AMELIA. No more of the Bavarian dynasty. The KING'S abdication is not only accepted, but the Dynasty itself is set aside. A clear sweep is made. The Greek nationality now starts afresh. 4 i l vivisional Government is at once installed, hay }lb a s its President, first of all, it was reported, 'ls, but eventually, as it proved, no less a personae, MAVROCORDATO. His colleagues I ' in this puralY temporary Administration consisting of ZllrlEsmu, GAINAB ANTOPOIJLA S , MATOMICHALIS, KALIFRONAS, and KOMONDOCE,As. During the last fiv e Weeks rumours of a for midable intri gue were thither over th e waters of —flitting hither and Lbevreawnitn—gthceommiuntg terings ' of the storm there t s the i kingdom) audibly to us, every now and then, even at over distance. That storm has now br o k e n palace (nay, far and Wid e a ll over the overwhelm ing sooner than was expccted, and w i t h an ov ing, force that no one hardly could have antici pated. The explosion is that not of a R evo l tbut of a Revolu tion. And the movement has has been so nearly unanimous among the whole mass of the population --led on by all the principal families without exception--that the whole Royal family and its entourage, have been swept away together "at one fell swoop :" and this, more over, with the greatest celerity and precision. But one only circumstance 'in this rising of a long out raged rac e aga i ns t a 1 nunarc h w ho has throughout "b own himself utterly• incompetent to govern it— but one only circumstance, we say, in this rising bears about it what cannot but strike the majority of observers, upon reflection, as a very ominous and a very sinister significance. This being nothing less than the aspect of reproach turned against the King in his flight, and repellingly also against the relatives of the King, who are involved in the rein of his downfall, the aspect of unmistakeable reproach that the rule of Onao has never once affected to desire the great ness of the country or—its agrandizement • Simul taneously with the delivery of th i s distinct and startling taunt of reproach against the KING and the Dynasty that have just succumbed before the Revolution, the troops are ordered to be concen trated at Vonitza of all places ! ! It was at Vonitza that the revolt of the local garrison may be said to have given the signal to the revolutionists. The train, it is true, had been previously laid, far and wide, surely and secretly—but there at Vonitza the match was lit and applied, and the mine sprung. Vonitza being conveniently situated, observe, upon the frontier line of Turkey ! Knowing perfectly well, as we do, in the pre sence of all these facts, how wide spread are the intrigues that have led to this abrupt and startling manifestation—remembering the importance alike to the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe and of the ready continuance of our far off rule in Hindostan—it is a satisfaction to be aware also, no less unmistakeably, that not only is our diplomacy on the alert in regard to the import of all these extraordinary transactions, but that with exemplary promptititude the British ships now stationed off Malta are forthwith to proceed to the Pireos. There almost as a matter of course, we presume, they would soon enough be joined by a French naval division—Eng lish and French alike presenting themselves there upon the spot to note the progress of events and to be prepared for any emergency. Casting a momentary glance at the melancholy records of this reign of thirty wasted years, wasted alike for the KING himself and for the people he has so systematically misgoverned—it is impos sible not to recognise, almost at a glance, that it has been a reign first of all marred by the Prince's overweening German predilictions, and after wards and for the most part by the sinister influence exercised upon his always blun dering councils by the Evil Genius at his elbow, that Queen-wife of his, with her petty ambition, her constitutional guile, and her Russian proclivities. Originally himself altogether un qualified to fill the throne of Greece—incapable of understanding the duties of a Constitutional So vereign—Onto has found these two baneful incen tives to misgoyernment fatal in the end. And this not only to himself and to his Crown, but to the very dynasty he was supposed to be inaugurating. His Bavarian infatuation led to that Revolution of 1843, which lost to him the whole of his German Favourites. His subjection for years past to the evil influence of his Royal Consort Queen AMELIA, has more than anything brought about this far more complete and overwhelming Revolution of 1862, which has cost him, not simply the ruinous support of a cluster of petty German intriguers, but has, far more seriously as a result, lost to him and to his race a Crown and a Kingdom. " Six days later from America"—still no great event, or very important movement. Military doings may be summed up in the statement—Fe derals pressing on slowly and heavily, Confederates as usual completely out-generalling them in gue rilla exploits. Thus we are told that General STUART in his successful raid into Pennsylvania was twice as successful in his main object—obtain ing supplies, as we had been previously in formed. He returned with twice five hundred horses, which we may be sure he will turn to good account; and, as we have heard so much of the shoeless condition of the Confederate soldiers, and winter is at hand, he prudently carried off "large quantities of boots and clothing taken in Penn sylvania." Then, as a light-armed man, and to show them what agility could do, he s wept completely round the heavily-armed M'CLELLAN, and crossed the Potomac into Virginia on the other side of the Federal camp. On the other hand, M'CLELLAN, in his slow and sure style, is again on the south of the Potomac. He has advanced as far as Charlestown, hardly ten miles into Vir ginia, from Harper's Ferry, and is feeling about to see whether he may venture further. He has made that town his head-quarters, but can hardly be intending to press on, however, slowly to Rich mond in that direction. The Confederates in his front are sufficiently numerous to have compelled one division of his army to fall back. In Kentucky, where there has been morefighting, the Confederates seem to have made a similar clever move to General STUART'S in Virginia, and to have gone to the back of their victorious opponents, re treating in good time with considerable plunder. By the Baltimore we learned that they had been driven from Frankfort and Louisville, and certain it is that BUELL was fighting them forty or fifty miles further southwards, while DUMONT had taken 150 prisoners and two guns at Versailles near Frank fort ; yet we find a body of them getting behind the Federals pouncing again on Frankfort, and capturing a large number of waggons and five hundred Federals ; doubtless they loaded the wag gons well with articles so much needed by their men. In this way they appear to provide themselves with of military supplies stores, at the cost of their enemies, even when the latter are substantially moving for ward. Yet the Federals would seem to have the n real announce superiority severe in Kent uc k y . Th e d espa t c h es ne fighting there a t H arro d s b urg , th e au place to which the Confederates had retreated by the last account s after the b attle of Perrysville; thelat and to b ter are said furidtte to have avelost a thousand pri soners, retreating, and rumours, on which however no reliance can be placed, were current that General BRAGG was killed. Federal victory at Corinth seems to have been a real victory. At least we are now informed that the Confederates acknowlege defeat there. We are told that the Confederates there beeame " demoralised," and abandoned eleven guns, which they first spiked, besides losing two thousand pri soners. The Federal army has also been able to advance farther into Mississippi, though we cannot see what advantage any advance into that thinly peopled planting State could be of to the Fede rals, unless they were able to descend so far south as to complete connection with General BUTLER at New Orleans, and take Vicksburg on the Missis sippi, which FARRAGUT was ur.able to capture, in the rear. Thus, on the whole, the Federals appear to be taking a firmer stand. Though outwitted by Confederate guerillas both in Virginia and Ken tucky, they have the best of it in the more impor tant conflicts ; they have steadily forced back the ad Mississippi, ma in_ body o f th e i r enem i es i n Vi rg i n i a , K en t uc ky, and though the Confederates threaten Nash v ill e i n T ennessee , t h e F e d era l s pay no attenti on wonders, b ut to thei r th rea t s .

Of course the PRESIDENT is not so foolish. It is the sneaking traitors he aims at ; the men who treasonably com municate with the enemy, and inform them of Federal military movements, and the men who endeavour to check the enlistment he has ordered. These unworthy Free States men deserve no pity. Perhaps every one of them is destitute of pity for the black fellow citizen in bondage in the South, and would scout the notion of a negro claiming a writ of habeas corpus. Let them have a taste of bondage without slavery, as they are so fond of fetters, and slavery too, for others. The large meeting of the New York Democrats, to which we refer, passed resolutions requiring the PRESIDENT to carry on the war constitutionally, as well as condemning the proclamation and the habeas corpus suspension. We should like to know how such a war could be carried on constitutionally when the authors of the war have thrown the con stitution overboard, set up another, and, without a single practical grievance, separated from the general Government because they proved to be a minority at an election. Even their cherished in stitution was not only not attacked, but too jea lously protected; and Mr; LINCOLN would, unfor tunately, have given them any guarantees they wished for non-interference with slavery and for surrendering fugitive slaves. The only thing he would not guarantee was,that he would aid in cover ing soil yet free with slavery. Does any Englishman think he ought to have surrendered that point. Bad as the American Constitution is in regard to fugitive slave law clauses, it is not so bad as to consign the territories to slavery. Will it be pretended by the advocates of the South that Mr. LINCOLN ought to have assured the South that he would work the constitution, so far as his influence went, in the interest of extension of slavery, and not, as he affirmed he would, in the interests of freedom. In his recent pretentious speech at Liverpool, Mr. MOREHEAD, of Kentucky, to our minds, convicted the South of seceding on this single point. We have, indeed, always maintained that slavery exten sion was the real object of Southern fighting, and prevention of that, as far as slavery is concerned, the real object of the North. The North, to its shame, preferred the continuance of slavery where it existed; it only desired to keep it where it was; and this, too, from no philanthropical sentiment, but simply because, like the people of Illinois and Kansas, it wanted to be able to keep not only the slave, but even the free coloured man, from the yet unsettled territory. Be the reason what it might, the North desired no unconstitutional action ; it simply desired by regular and constitutional means to make the extension of the Republic an extension of freedom, not of slavery. The Democrats read a letter from General SCOTT, dated last March twelvemonths, as if that could be applicable to the present state of things. The old General leaned to the CRITTENDEN com promise, or to allowing the South to depart in peace. He considered the conquest of the South would be a work of years, of large armies, of able generals, and of much blood and treasure, and that, when accomplished, it would require for 'generations a costly garrison to retain it. There is no doubt, probably, now, even in Mr. LiNcoLN's mind of this last point, but he well knows that the South would not now depart in peace, with only so much territory as the North would allow it. The North-west will never sur render the Mississippi, the North-east will never part with the Bay of Chesapeake, while neither would forego the Border States. To part in peace, now, is out of the question. The sad business must be fought out; and, unless we are mistaken, the South is much more rapidly approaching ex haustion than the North. It has made splendid exertions, in the worst cause man ever fought for, but we hope it has nearly worn itself out. These will be glad tidings to all the friends of GARIBALDI in England—that Professor PARTRIDGE has again taken his departure for Spezzia! It was time enough that some intimation of the kind should be made public. The rumours as to the Hero's actual condition, every day almost becoming uglier and more alarming. True it is that there were circumstances brought to our knowledge simultaneously with the receipt of this sinister intelligence— circumstances encouraging us reasonably enough, the while, to believe that the evil rumours were for the most part monstrous exaggerations. For example, it certainly did not look as if the General's wounds were so very alarming, or even, as it was hinted at times, in so agonising a condition as the more doleful correspondents maintained— when it became known to us, as it did but very recently, it will be remembered—that GARIBALDI was well enough to be removed from the position of Varignano to a more cheerful residence at Spezzia—a house belonging there to the Italian Minister of Marine. Nevertheless, even with all the encouragement derivable from incidents like these, the statements as to the continued seriousness, and still more the undeniable ob scurity of the wound in the hero's ankle, have filled the friends of GARIBALDI here in England with the liveliest anxiety. And this of late, it should be said, increasingly. We cannot wonder, therefore, under the circumstances, that Mr. PARTRIDGE lies deemed it in every way advisable in his own interests and the interests of GARIBALDI, and in the interests of the friends of GARIBALDI, to revise his former opinion in regard to the condition of the still suffering, but happily no longer imprisoned, hero : viz., by returning for however brief a while to Spezzia. For his supplementary report from that place we shall now look forward with the most eager curiosity. The Transatlantic Telegraph is not to be quite forgotten. Mr. CYRUS FIELD and Messrs. GLASS, ELLIOTT, and Co., are in correspondence on the subject, and th e l a tt er h ave s t a ted the terms on for 12 which they are w illi ng t o c ommence the enter prise. The well-known to thatl y theythe rn fi ee r m willing-Ist, a ni lding are keep o confident Bttitno so tr ad ke o er months f their ability their entire profits upon it s rema i n i ng i n wor ki ng order; and, s econ d ly, to make a cash sub scription of £25,000 in the ordinary capi tal of the company, an d pay the same by the tregular publicc a m s ofus must h d e epend company, As the confid ence o f entirely on its confidence in the great knowledge and experience of GLASS, ELLIOTT, and Co.—it will make the risk incurred by them the measure of its trust. Now the great telegraph firm proposes to be secured against a first direct loss, by weekly repayments of their actual disbursements for labour and material. Their profits, however, are to be made abio lately contingent on the successful work s ing of the line, since, th ou g h the y are to re ceive 20 per cent. on the actual cost of the line for their " time, services, and profit," they are to receive it in shares of the company, we presume at par, in 12 instalments during each month the cable is in successful working. After the line is laul,there fore, the entire value of their shares will of course depend on its continued success. In any case their cash subscription would bo lost if the line does not succeed, as their profits being in shares these would would not reimburse them even in that shape un less the line were worked at a profit. Messrs. GLASS and Co. accompany their letter with a table of thirty submarine lines laid by their company, w ith particulars of the length of the lines, the depths to which they are sunk, and other cha racteristics. The longest laid, these between 1. Sweden and Denmark, 2. Italy and Corsica, 3. Corsica and Sardinia, have been in suc cessful working eight years. The longest one between France and Algeria, 550 miles, has been at work two years. Two more of 360 miles and 300 have been at work six and five years respectively. Altogether GLASS, ELLIOTT, and Co. have laid 3,929 miles of cable, containing 6,749 miles of isolated wire, all in successful operation. One fact mentioned by them shows that even a fault in laying, or a breakage, does not render the case hopeless. Part of the line between France and Algiers was taken up from the depth of 1,250 fathoms, from a rocky bottom, sixteen miles of ling recovered, a fault cut out, and the cable re laid with perfect success. Another line, of which the end was lost in 450 fathoms water,was grappled for, recovered, and the line completed. It is evi. dent, therefore, that very great improvement has been made in ocean telegraphy since the failure of the Atlantic cable. Let us not forget one fact. A transatlantic cable when the affair of the Trent occurred, would have saved the national exchequer £700,000. RETURN OF HER MAJES7 F. WOOLWICH, OCT. 26. A succession of telegrams referring to the Queen's arrival were daily received at Woolwich during the past week, and on Saturday a special message an nounced that her Majesty would cross over from Antwerp during the night, and would land at the dockyard about midday on Sunday. A number of ship wrights were accordingly set towork yesterday morn ing at an early hour, and by ten o'clock the landing stage was carpeted with scarlet cloth and sheltered with a thick canvass awning, and an additional brow was added, raising and extending the stage so as to enable her Majesty to walk from the gangway of her vessel to her carriage without inconvenience. The strictest secrecy was ordered to be observed in all the proceedings, and the public were to be rigidly excluded. About 11 o'clock the Royal carriages arrived from Backingham Palace, nine in number, in charge of Colonel Maude and Mr. Norton, and entered at the main gate. This caused an assem blage of about 200 persons, who waited anxiously, in spite of a heavy storm of rain, to obtain a glimpse of the Queen on her pass'ng from the dockyard. A message from Admiral Jonnstone, at Sheerness, announced the Royal squadron to have passed the Nore at a quarter before 9 o'clock, and shortly afterwards a telegram was received from Green lithe, stating that the Royal family were about to disembark and proceed in the Vivid and Irene to Woolwich. At half-past 11 the two vessels made their appearance off the dockyard, and, the tide flowing up at the time, they were enabled to ap proach the stage and land their passengers in safety, and without risk of danger, in the course of less than half an hour. Her Majesty was received on landing by Viscount Sydney, Lord Chamberlain, in plain clothes, and Sir Frederick Nicolson, Commodore-Superintendent. Her Majesty, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Prince Leopold and the Princesses Relena and Louisa, and suite, then entered three of the Royal carriages, and immediately left the dockyard, pass ing out by the Factory gate, to the great disap pointment and chagrin of those who had waited in expectation of their leaving by the main thorough fare. Her Majesty was accompanied to Woolwich by Captain Seymour, C. 8., commanding the Royal yacht, and appeared to have borne the voyage with out inconvenience. The Queen's state barge, be longing to the Royal yacht, was towed up to Wool wich to be in readiness in case the ships should not be able to approach the landing-place, but from the excellent arrangements carried out the barge was not brought into requisition. The Black Eagle, having embarked his Royal Highness Prince Arthur at Ostend, brought up in the Downs on Saturday night, having sustained some damage, and arrived at the Arsenal pier, Woolwich, at 2.15, about two hours after the Queen and the other members of the Royal family had taken their departure. The Prince was received by Commodore Sir F. Nicolson, and proceeded without delay to London by rail, en route for Osborne. The carriages brought by the Black Eagle will be landed to-day. The Victoria and Albert returned to the Nore, and will go into Sheerness harbour this morning to coal, and will proceed to Portsmouth. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief will hold a levee at one o'clock on Friday, the 31st instant. Their Imperial Highnesses Prince Napoleon and Princess Clotilde, attended by the Countess de Clermont Tonnerre and Colonel Ferri-Pisani, have arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, from Lisbon. The Earl and Countess Stanhope have arrived at the:Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone. Frances Countess of Albemarle and Colonel the Hon. Peregrine Cust have arrived at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, from the Continent. Lord and Lady Headley and family have arrived in Brighton for the winter. Colonel de Novossiltzvow has arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, from St. Petersburg, with despatches for the Russian Embassy. We understand that a telegram was received in town on Saturday morning, inviting Professor Partridge to take part in a medical consultation to be held on Wed nesday, the 29th inst,, on the state of Garibaldi's wound, and the treatment to be adopted. It is well known that rumours of as alarming kind have lately been prevalent, and we are therefore glad to hear that arrangements have been made between the Garibaldi Committee and Mr. Partridge, who started yesterday morning en his way to Spezzia. GARIBALDI'S REPLY TO A GERMAN ADDRESS.= in a letter, still dated from the Varignano, Garibaldi trans mits to . Karl Blind the " expression of his heartfelt thanks for the warm words of friendship!' contained in an address the latter had sent to him in the name of German compa triots. The reply is conveyed through the medium of one of the oldest personal friends and companions in arms of the General. The writer adds some very bitter remarks on the Ministers, the King, and " that magnanimous ally whom all the world knows." GARIBALDI AND HIS OPPONENTS.—In conse quence of rumours that a Garibaldian demonstration was to take place at Blackheath, at the entrance of Greenwich Park, yesterday afternoon, and that large numbers of Irish men would attend to oppose the movement, by direction of the police commissioners a large body of the R division was kept in reserve in a building near the park, from 2 p.m. un til dark, ready to quell any disturbance that might occur. Immense numbers visited Blackheath and the Park during the afternoon, but no breach of the peace occurred, the mul titude separating into various parties, some of whom cheered for Garibaldi and others for the Pope. NEW LIFEBOATS FOR PORTUGAL.—On Satur d,ty two additional splendid lifeboats, on the plan of the National Lifeboat Institution, built for the Portuguese Government, had their harbour trial in the Regent's Canal dock, Limehouse. They underwent most satisfactorily the usual testing of their qualities of self-righting, self-ejecting of water, and of stability. They leave on bard a steamer in a day or two for the Peninsula. Six lifeboats, including the two in question, have been built within the last few months by Messrs. Forrestt, under the direction of Admiral Sir George Sartorius, fLr the Portuguese Government. A lifeboat of the National Institution, intended for Drogheda, on the Irish coast, was also tried on Saturday with an equally satisfactory result. She left London yesterday on board Mr. Malcolmson's steamer for Dublin. During the past stormy week some of the lifeboats of the National Life boat Institution have, in addition to assisting several vessels into port, saved 22 shipwrecked sailors from different wrecks, who must otherwise in all human probability have perished, Within the last two years and a half the life boats of the institution have saved nearly 800 sailors on v se a n ri t e s u t sorp m arts of our coas t. With its large fleet of 123 life boats, its stormy period of sesa t r h e e n y e e c a e r. necessarily ver y large and conti nuous. Th e i nstitution, therefore, earne stly appeals to th e public to aid it to meet its very heavy c harges at the p re - CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE SHILLING DAY.—On Saturday the admissions on payment were 4,462; do. by I season tickets, 1,712; total, 6,174. LATES r NEWS. BERLIN, OCT. 27. The President of the Cour.cil, Herr von Bismark- Schonhausen, left this morning for Paris. TURIN, OCT. 27, MORNING. The rumour of the purchase by the Bastogi Company of the railway between Naples and Salerno is premature. The state of health of Garibaldi continues serious, although the bulletins published daily announce some improvement. THE INDIAN AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. GIBRALTAR, OCT. 26. The Ripon, which left Southampton on the 20th inst., reached Gibraltar this day at 4 p,m., and leaves at 6 p.m. for Alexandria. The Pera, with the heavy portion of the Calcutta and China mails, leaves at 6 p.m. far Southampton, where she may be expected about the 31st inst. ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 25. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of today pub lishes a diplomatic correspondence between Earl Russell and Prince Gortschakoff in reference to the Montenegrin question and the state of things in Turkey generally. Earl Russell holds opinions contrary to those of the Russian Government respecting the conditions of peace imposed upon Montenegro, and explains for what reasons England must decline to give her support to projects which have no other aim than that of dissolving the ties of suzerainty which con nect Montenegro with Turkey. Prince Gortschakoff, in reply, endeavours to show that the Porte has acted with great dishonesty towards Montenegro, and states that Russia also considers the maintenance of the Turkish empire as important for the political equilibrium of Europe. Russia must insist, however, upon a mere concilia tory system of Government being inaugurated in Turkey as far as the Christian subjects of the Porte are concerned.

QUEENSTOWN, OCT. 26. The Royal Mail steamship Europa, from Boston on the 15th and Halifax on the 17th inst., arrived here at 1 30 p.m. to-day. She brings 67 passengers and 271,500 in specie. She landed 80 sacks of mails and seven passengers, and proceeded at 1 45 p.m., all well. The Europa experienced very severe weather. (Per Europa, via Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, OCT. 13, EVENING. The Confederate General Stuart, with his whole force, has recrossed the Potomac at Edward's ferry into Virginia, carrying away 1,000 horse and large quantities of boots and clothing taken at Pennsyl vania. During this successful raid in Pennsylvania the Confederates passed entirely around the army of the Potomac. The Confederates have respected private houses, but have torn up the railway tracks, and damaged a considerable amount of Government property along their route. Private despatches received in Louisville report that another severe battle has been fought between Harrodsburg and Danville, Kentucky. The same despatches assert that the Federals have captured 1,000 prisoners, and that the Confe derates were retreating to Camp Dick Robinson. It is rumoured that the Confederate General Bragg was killed. The further pursuit of the Confederates from Corinth has been relinquished. The latest despatches say that the Confederates were demoralised, that they abandoned 11 guns, which they spiked, and lost 2,000 prisoners. OCT. 14, EVENING. It is reported that General M'Clellan's army will immediately cross into Virginia and commence offensive operations. The Federals will establish their headquarters at Rienzi, Mississippi, instead of Corinth. The Southern journals acknowledge the defeat of the Confederates at Corinth, and estimates their loss at 5,000. Nsshville is reported to be entirely surrounded by the Confederates. The news of the abandonment of Winchester by the Confederates is not confirmed, The Federal General Dumont has captured two pieces of artillery and 150 Confederates at Versailles Kentucky. The Confederates have captured a large quantity of Federal waggons and 500 Federals at Frankfort, Kentucky. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Chase, is seriously ill_ At a large democratic ratification meeting, held at New York, resolutions were passed requiring the Administration to fulfil its promise to carry on the war constitutionally, condemning President Lin coln's emancipation Proclamation, and denouncing the suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus. The republicans were denounced as a party ad vocating revolution. A letter from General Scott to Mr. Seward, dated March, 1861, was read. In this letter General Scott said that the only plans open to President Lincoln were the adoption of the compromise pro posed by Mr. Crittenden, or to attempt the conquest of the South, which was practicable in three years, with 300,000 men, under Generals like Dessaix, Wolfe, and Roche, but at an enormous cost of blood and treasure. But the people would never after wards be brou;ht into harmony with their con querors, and would have to be held in subjection for generations by large garrisons. General Scott favoured the adoption of the Crit tenden Compromise, or allowing the South to de part in peace. The draught in New York has been postponed till after the elections. General Butler has officially announced that no plea of neutrality will be received from native inha bitants of New Orleans ; that all refusing to take the oath o f a ll eg i ance are enem i es o f the Unit States, and must send their names and a list of th eir property to the Provost-Aarshal. (By Telegraph to Cape Race and from Roche's Po:nt.) NEW YORK EVENING. , lella A portion of Gen. M Cn's army has advanced OCT. 17, from Harper's Ferry, and has occupied Charles town, in Virginia, afterwards continuing its ad vance two miles beyond Charlestown. General M'Clellan's headquarters are at Charles town. The Confederate pickets retreated before the Federal advance, slight skirmishing occurring along the route. The main body of the Confederates oc cupy a position extending from Bunker's Hill to the Shenandoah river. Another division of General M'Clellan's army advanced to Shepherdstown, but, meeting the Con federates in force, retreated. Skirmishing continues between General Buell's army and the rear of the Confederate army in Ken tucks . General Buell is pressing forward. The Confederates were in large force near Nash ville on the 11th, and demanded the surrender of the city. The demand was refused. It was stated that the Federal force was amply sufficient to defend the city. News received here from Mexico states that Gen Forey arrived at Vera Cruz on the 22d September. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE ABDICATION OF THE KING. The Paris papers are full of despatches from various parts of Greece announcing that a success ful revolution has taken place, and that King Otho has fled and abdicated in favour of his brother, Prince Luitpold. We take these despatches as they are published in the Paris papers, awaiting more precise informa tion from our own correspondents. ,La Presse says:— " Advices of the 21st inst. state that the whole of western Greece has risen in insurrection, and that it has triumphed in Vonitza, Missolonghi, Rion, Antirion, Naupactos, Patras, and Aigion. The King is said to have fled from the capital and to have sought refuge at Calamata, with a view to embarking. " On the 22d the Government still maintained power at Athens, and was sending troops against the insurgents. A telegram dated the 24th of October laconically announces the perfect success of the revolution, and that a Provisional Government has been established in Greece. A National Con gress has been convoked, and Athens is tranquil." A despatch dated Athens, the 24th inst., says : " The garrison of Vonitza has risen. The King is believed to be at Calamita. A Provisional Go vernment has been formed. It consists of MM. Bulgaria, President, Canaris, and Kouflos. The Ministers appointed by this Government are MM. Zaimis, Manghinas, Mavromichalis, Diamanto poulous, Deligiorgio, Kalifronas, and Komondoros. " The Minister Chatziskos has left for Calamita to join their Majesties. La Patrie has the following on the subject : "Greece has suddenly claimed public attention. Events have just occurred in the Hellenic Kingdom which are, we fear, too true. Missolonghi, Patras, and other towns of the western provinces are in full insurrection. A Provisional Government is re ported to have been established at Patras, but up to the 22d Athens, Syra, and the eastern portion the kingdom had not as yet joined the movement. However, a despatch, via Trieste, dated the 24th inst., announces in a general manner that a Provi sional Government had been formed 'in Greece,' and the convocation of a National Congress. Athens was tranquil. These events, the gravity of which is incontesi able, no matter how they may end, coin cide with a visit of the King and Queen into the provinces the least devoted to the dynasty. That journal commPnced on the 13th of October, and private letters from the Piraeus, of the 17th, in form ns that the Minister of the Interior had, up to that date, observed the strictest silence respect iug the incidents of the Royal visit." SAIYRNA, OCT 24. According to news received here from Athens, King Otho has abdicated, and has taken his depar ture, but his destination was not known. TRIESTE, OCT. 25. Intelligence has been received here from Athens, according to which King Otho has abdicated in favour of his brother. The Provisional Government, in the name of the people and the garrison, has declared the dynasty of King Otho to be deposed. M. Mavrocordato has been elected President of the Provisional Government. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 25. Intelligence received here states that King Otho, after his departure from Greece, gave orders to avoid the Piraeus, and to anchor in the Bay of Salamis. PARIS, OCT. 26. Intelligence received here fully confirms the news of a revolution having taken place in Athens; of a Provisional Government having been apps,inted. which has decreed the deposition of the reigning dynasty; of a National Assembly having been con voked; of the general prevalence of enthusiasm among the people; and that order had not been disturbed. La Presse of this evening asserts that the English squadron stationed at Malta is about to proceed to the Piraeus. La France believes itself able to state that if English ships are sent to the Piraeus, France will increase the strength of the naval division com manded by Admiral Fonchard. The same paper publishes details of the insurrec tion in Greece. It states that the insurgents re proach the dynasty of King Otho with not desiring the greatness or extension of the country. The chiefs of the insurrection belong to the great fami lies of Greece, and are partisans of a monarchical form of government. The Provisional Government is said to have given orders for the concentration of troops at Vonitza, on the Turkish frontier. It is further stated that the Porte, upon receiving intelligence of the events now passing in Greece, has determined to maintain the Ottoman army upon a war footing. The Turkish Government is also said to have ordered the concentration of troops upon the Albanian frontier to watch Livadia, a Greek province very hostile to Turkey. DREADFUL GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION AT CORR.-- SATURDAY, Two o'Clock.—An explosion of gunpowder, attended with serious loss of life, took place this day at 12.20 p.m., at Ballinacolig Powder Mills. The shock was distinctly felt in the western part of the city, although the scene of the catastrophe is five miles from the city. Two men were killed and one slightly hurt. The explosion took place in the store or drying-house, ono portion of which was utterly blown to pieces. The second edition of the Southern Reporter states that when the accident occurred the powder house was locked, and no person in it, and no one is able to account for the manner in which the explosion took place. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE IN HYDE -PAO/. —On Saturday an inquest was held by Mr. Langhaln, at St. George's Workhouse, on the body of a femme child vch r ic a n h had been given birth to by a young woman named Smith, in Hyde-park, in the service of C a p tamCx 6 . , Kensington-park-terrace.

YANKEE BLOCKADE OF THE ISLAND OF BERMUDA. TO THE EDITOR OE THE sUN. SIR,—I arrived at this port yesterday from St. George's, Bermuda, and, as the Bermuda mail has not yet arrived, I take the liberty to trouble you with a short statement. The island has been strictly blockaded by a Federal squadron under Admiral Wilkes (the notorious Wilkes) since the 27th of September, on which day he entered the harbour in the Nagassit, accompanied by the gunboat Tioga, leaving another gunboat, the Sonoma, to keep guard at the entrance of the harbour, and, under pretence of coaling and repairs, remained at anchor till the 2d of October, on which day he left the harbour with the Tioga, and the Sonoma entered and com menced coaling, and left on the sth of October. The three vessels had been in sight up to the date of my leaving (Oct. 7), cruising about four miles from the land, and at night anchoring in the fairway of the channel leading to St. George's, so that it was im possible any vessel could get either in or out. On the morning of the sth the Royal Mail steamer Mer. lin was fired at and brought to, when, by the state ment of the pilot, within three miles of the land. I left the harbour on the 7th, at 4 p.m., in the steam ship Gladiator, and when between three and four miles from the land was hailed by the Sonoma and ordered to heave to, which I did. I was then ordered on board ; I refused to go, on which I saw the covers of her guns taken off, and on looking through the ports I could see the men at quarters. Shortly after a boat came alongside with an officer, who, on stepping on deck, demanded to see the papers, which I showed to him, and he took a copy of the manias fest. He then ordered me to remain hove to until he had communicated with his commander, and if I was to proceed he would waive his handkerchief, which he did shortly after, and I proceeded on my voyage. The coaling must have been a mere pro tence, as the squadron was only four days from Fortress Monroe, and the qnantity of coal taken on board by the three vessels was not sufficient to coal one had it really needed them. In conclusion I have to observe that the only British man-of-war at Ber muda is the Desperate.—l remain, sir, your very obedient servant, ALEX. HORA, commanding steamship Gladiator. Liverpool, Oct, 23. MR. R. P. COLLIER, M.P., AND MR. W MORRISON, M.P., ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS. A densely-crowded and enthusiastic meeting wag held at the Mechanics' Institute, Plymouth, on Fri day evening, D. Derry, Esq., in the chair, at which Messrs. Collier and Morrison, the two Liberal menr bers for the town, addressed their constituents on the topics of the day. Mr. COLLIER commenced by defending the House of Commons from the charge of having a session of culpable inactivity. While storms were necessary to clear the political air, there must also be from time to time intervals of repose. There had been a lull in party conflicts, partly out of consideration ) for the Queen in her deep affliction, partly because there had been a general approval of the foreign pe' licy of her Majesty's Government, and in the third place, because a good part of the Conservatives dis like and distrust their own leaders in the House of Commons, and prefer Lord Palmerston to Mr. Dis raeli. (Cheers.) Having spoken of the necessity for the fortification scheme, at least in part, Mr. Collier directed attention to the American war. Ile said—The American Union is a matter of history ; believe it cannot be restored, I believe the South to have been originally in the wrong; that it had not sufficient reason to break the Federal compact' But it does not follow that because the North had some ground of complaint that it should necessarily have gone to war, and if they went to war, accord' ing to the law of nations, that the war should have assumed its present vindictive character. If the secession of the South had been caused by a 1 111- nority overriding the sentim en t s o f th e ma k rity ; if there had been, as was supposed, strong Union sentiments in the Southern states, which the declaration of war would bring f or th , we might then say that the war was just, and p oss ibly that it was politic. But events have shown that there was no Union sentiment in the South ; at all events, if there was once, there is not nosy (Cheers.) The South are determined as one man to assert their independence. 1 would put it to the Federals, that, even granting their argument that they are fighting for the Union, is it worth 5° much treasure and so much blood ? whether at suc h a fearful sum of hum an sacr ifi ce t h e U n i on i ts ell , would not be too dearly purchased ? (Cheers.) Aft er speaking of the patience of the Lancashire °peri l. tives and the seizure of Messrs. Slidell and Mas° ll ' Mr. Collier resumed—l have already said that Id ° not think intervention would be a benefit, but th e opposite; but an important question arises, whethe r it is the duty of this c oun t ry to recognise the Sol t' ,' as an independent country. In determining Oil we must be guid e d b y quest i ons of internat i o nal law, and the principle of that law must guide u gt o not whether we approve of or sympathise with tb , •EP conduct of North or South. We have recoglis, the South as belligerents, when are we to recogn ie ; them as an independent nation ? I say when th eJ t have shown that they are a f ree an d i n d epe nde , nation, and are able to govern th emse l ves, to 10:o o tect their territory from aggression, and t o be au 4 o to do this not temporarily but perman en tl y . (La 0, cheers.) Passing to Prussian p o liti cs, the Oia gentleman said—The Commons o f P russ i a ha ve no respect exceeded their functions. They gape simply ventured to disappr ove o f t h e King'sclgeV -h u —their undoubted right— an d the King there° r e openly declares his i n t ent i on of governing tbe , country without th em, and w i thout reserve vies late the constit u ti on.
