The concert on Saturday night, the first part of which consisted of a selection from the works of Mendelssohn, was as successful as the lovers of good music could have desired. The unpropitious weather failed to rob the familiar name of its attrac- tion ; and, though it rained all day without inter mission, the doors of Floral Hall were not long thrown open before an immense crowd had assem bled. Mr. Alfred Mellon may be complimented on his programme, which, besides being marked by excellence and variety, was so arranged that each succeeding piece afforded an agreeable contrast to its immediate predecessor Overture—" A Midsummer Night's Dream." Part-song—" Oh hills and yam" Concerto—Pianoforte (No. 1 in G minor). Air—" When the Evening Bells are Chiming." Symphony. in A major (Italian). Finale from the opera of "Lorley." The performance, from first to last, was worthy of the music, ' and the audience thoroughly appre ciated both. 116 overture to Shakspeare's immortal fairy play, which, though an inspiration of early youth, is one of the most original and imaginative productions of its composer, was given with a delicacy and precision quite marvellous, the enormous area and configuration of Floral Hall taken into account. But—as was shown later, in a still more elaborate work—the band of the Royal Italian Opera, with a director at its head like Mr. Mellon, is capable of achieving difficulties under any circumstances short of absolutely antagonistic. Nothing could come more happily after a piece so full of energy and movement a© the overture, than the part song--7perhaps the most universally popu lar thing of its kind—an image of repose such as music has seldom reflected, a dream of the sett in g sun throwing its last rays on the quiet hills, a bit of harmonious landscape, in short, the spirit of whose beauty" (to quote the English paraphrase of the words that inspired it) " can never fade away." After this the attention of the hearers was diverted into an altogether different channel by the impetu ous concerto in G minor—another example of Men delssohn's astonishingly precocious talent—executed by Mr. George Russell, a young and rising pianist, if not precisely with the "impetuosity" most con genial to its character, at least with spirit, clear ness, and well-sustained brilliancy. A trifle more of sentiment would not have been unwelcome in the slow movement; but Mr. Russell was probably of opinion that very nice shades of expression might be lost under the dome of Bow-street Crystal Palace, and so designedly eschewed them. The accompaniments to the concerto were carefully played by the band, and at the conclusion Mr. Rus sell left the orchestra amid warm and honourably earned plaudits. The song from " Heimkehr (known in England as " Son and Stranger")—an opera composed by Mendelssohn to commemorate what the Germans call the "silver wedding" of their father and mother (25th anniversary of their union) —is as full of character as it is charming. This, introduced last winter with great success by Herr Reichardt at the Monday Popular Concerts (St. James's-hall), and equally welcome on the present occasion, was delivered with genuine artistic feeling by Mr. Wilbye Cooper. The tranquil opening phrase is finely relieved by the episode describing the night-watch of the soldier, so appropriately an nounced by the trumpet, and the whole was well adapted to separate the pianoforte concerto from the orchestral symphony, with neither of which it has the smaliest feature in common. The Italian symphony was given entire, with the repeat of the first part of the allegro vivace—exactly, indeed, as the composer intended. On the whole, we can scarely remember a more satisfactory performance of this fresh and genial work. The profound:y touching andante—of which it was said years long past that in writing it Mendelssohn had composed his own " Requiem "—might have gained some thing by being taken a little slower, but here ob jection. ends, The remainder, especially the last movement, to which alone the symphony is indebted for the geographical expletive now conventionally accepted (undreamt of by Mendelssohn himself, who simply entitled it " Symphony in A major")— the restless " Saltarello," suggesting by its preculiar rhythm and colour the idea of a Neapolitan carnival, with all the contingent bustle and excitement—was beyond criticism. How thoroughly the whole was appreciated may be gathered from the fact that the movement in question was re-demanded. With.the finale of " Lorley " before him, nevertheless, Mr. Mellon did wisely in withholding compliance, and resting content with the unanimous applause elicited. In this colossal piece—a splendid pledge of the dramatic genius of its composer, and of the triumphs he was likely to achieve had he been spared to labour for the stage as earnestly as he laboured for the choir, the orchestra, and the cham ber—all concerned won laurels. Band, chorus, principal singer, and conductor, were alike assi duous in their duties, and with a like result. It was the last performance, and also the best, in a concert where everything was good. Never were the solos of Leonora—who devotes herself to the spirits of the Rhine in order to acquire the means of being avenged on a fickle lover (a Leonora promising to rival the still incomparable Leonora of Beethoven)—declaimed with more fire and vigour than by Miss Parepa, who (as every body might have concluded)' has just the voice for the part, and (as everybody might not have concluded) a 'true and forcible conception of it. The audience were so delighted that, without awaiting the final notes, they burst into such a storm of applause as almost drowned in its vehemence the united efforts of the voices and instruments, which go on accumulating power and grandeur to the climax. As another " Mendelssohn night" is an nounced, the finale from " Lorley," as a matter of course, will be repeated. Meanwhile we are glad to learn that Mr. Howard Glover's picturesque and admirable cantata of " Tam O'Shanter" is to be produced at these concerts, that special nights are to be given to Mozart and Beethoven, and, last not least, that Handel's " Messiah" will be performed on Friday. THE BERWICK ELECTION COM- NiSSION. BERWICK-UPON-TWEED, AUG. 24. The Commissioners met at 10 o'clock. After the adjournment yesterday M'Gall arrived in Berwick and called upon the Commissioners at the King's Arms Hotel. This morning he was called, and u p on th e secre tary tendering the Testament in or d er to swear him he declined to be sworn until he had made a statement. He said that he had been already tried, that he was acting under the advice of counsel, and should decline to be sworn unless he was promised protection. The Commissioners adjourned to their private room, and after being absent above an hour, returned into court. _ The Chief Commissioner, addressing M‘Gall, said. —You have attended here in obedience to a sum mons requiring you to give evidence as to corrupt practices on your part. M'Gall said, in answer—l decline to be sworn unless lam protected. I don't decline to give evi dence, but I want protection. I refuse to be sworn, because, if I enter into the statements of the evi dence I gave in the House of Commons, on which I was tried, I might be subject to be tried again. I therefore seek from the learned Commissioners pro tection from any prosecution that might be brought against me. lam ready to give evidence if I am protected. The Chief Commissioner said--We are limited in our powers by the act of Parli amen t. We have m aturely considered the case, and I will read you the judgment at which we have arrived : " We are enabled to protect you from the consequences of any evidence which you may have given before us, provided we are of opinion that you have made a true discovery to the best of your knowledge touching all things on which you have been examined. But if we think that you have not made a true disclosure, then we shall refuse to grant you a certificate of indemnity, and you will be liable to all the legal proceedings and consequences in respect of any corrupt practice which you may have committed, from which, bad you made a true disclosure, our certificate would have freed you. "We are unable to protect you from the legal consequences of any evidence you may have given upon your examination elsewhere ; but as no statement you may make in answer ' to questions put by us is admissible in evidence in any proceedings, civil or criminal, except in the case of an in dictment for perjury committed in your at,swers to such questions, your legal position cannot be prejudiced by your answers if they are believed by us to be true." M'Gall, at, the termination of the Commissioner's address, said, " I decline being sworn without being protected." Mr. Lushington observed that the law was his protection. He replied, "It may be. I wish to keep myself right. I may be wrong, but I decline to be sworn, and must submit to you." HP was then given into custody, and, a warrant for his apprehension having been handed to the Superin tendent of Police, he was conveyed to the common gaol. Great excitement prevails, and great anxiety to know what will be the ultimate course pursued by i the Commissioners is felt. Several other witnes ses were examined, and the 1 Commissioners adjou rned until 10 o ' clock on Satur day morning. 711 E MURDER IN THE QU.EEIVA%'-PARK, EDINBURGH. All authentic information regarding the actual facts evolved by the judicial inquiry into this most distressing affair being sedulously concealed by the authorities officially engaged in the investigation, many unfounded and often exaggerated rumours have been propagated respecting it, and these, not withstanding every care taken, have in some cases found their way into the public prints. We have received the following, however, on what we con sider good authority :—On Thursday a woman came forward and informed the authorities that, about three o'clock on Sunday morning, she passed a cor poral of the 13th Light Dragoons and a young girl standing close to the wall at the Clock-Mill Bridge, near to the spot where the switch was found. The soldier, it was stated, seemed to be threatening the girl, and ordering her to go away, when the latter said, " I will follow you into the barracks if you go there." To this the soldier replied, with an oath, " Well, I am going there now, but if you fol low me I will do for you." The woman who gave this information describes very minutely and cor rectly the girl's appearance and dress, and is quite positive that the man seen with her was a corporal, having two stripes on his arm, and a " good-con duct" or " service" stripe on his wrist, Witness stated that she was accompanied by a young woman, and on Friday her companion came forward and corroborated her statements. Measures are being taken by the authorities to identify the " cor poral" to whom the statements refer ; and as ne corporal is missing - from -Piershill, if the information of the women be correct, he ought to be found there. A pair of gloves, said to be such as are worn by the dragoons, were found on the parade-ground on Friday and brought to the authorities; but no circumstance has yet arisen to connect them with the tragedy of Sunday morning. On Saturday morning an order was given for the liberation of the prisoner Tanner, it being consi dered by the authorities that no evidence sufficient to justify his committal had been obtained. The absence of identification of the prisoner within three hours before the murder, and the fact that on his clothing no trace of blood was to be found (which, considering the state in which deceased was found, was to be expected on the real culprit), left the authorities no alternative but to liberate the pri soner. The body of the deceased was buried on Saturday. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMON'S-(SATURDAY.) LOSSES IN THE PAPER TRADE AND THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr; J. WHITE, who had the following questions on the notice paper, rose to ask whether the attention of her Majesty Government had been called to the losses that had been incurred by persons in the paper trade, in consequence of their having relied upon the finality of the votes of the House of Commons in providing the ways and means for the service of the Crown, and whether any mode could be entertained for compensating the parties in question ; and secondly, whether, as a precedent had been established for the revision by the House of Lords of the provision an nually made by this house for the service of the Crown, it would be in future expedient to obtain the concurrence of the House of Lords before any proposal of the remission of taxation was made to this house ? The hon. member was stopped by The SPEAKER, who, in reference to the second ques tion, said that had the notice been brought to him when he was in the house it would have been his duty to have asked the hon. member whether it was really intended as a serious expression of opinion or in an ironical sense, and if in the latter case, he should have informed him that questions placed on the paper and intended to be of an ironical nature were out of order, and could not with propriety be put. Mr. J. WHITE said it was his intention to put the last of the questions in an ironical sense, and he asked it more in sorrow than in anger. There was an impression that, owing to the "gigantic innovation" made by the House of Lords, by which trade had been embarrassed and commerce impeded, neither the present nor any future go • vernments would presume to bring forward any question of remission of taxation, until they first consulted the House of Lords as to its expediency or not. (Oh, oh.) A very large interest had suffered by the course adopted by the House of Lords. Had the paper-makers been peers or priests, or proctors or lawyers, they would have received ample compensation, The persons engaged in that trade had a right to believe that the bill for the repeal of the paper duty would have been passed by the Lords, and they were justified, therefore, in entering into those engagements which they had done. The country was now paying a tax levied against the will of the House of Commons, and raised solely upon the authority of the House of Lords. A noble lord in another place had not only appeared to think that it was his duty " to stem the tide of democracy," but also to make a fearful encroachment upon the privileges of the House of Commons. The present House of Commons would be memorable in the annals of this country for the cowardly abandonment of its privileges and the gigantic expenditure which it had authorised. (Oh, oh.) The conviction on his own mind of the state of things was such that he intended to appeal to the gentleman who sat at the table of the house, and beg of him, in any future edition of his " Parliamentary Practice," to revise that part relating to the privileges of the house, in order that the people out of doors might know what had really been effected by the House of Lords. He would not now re-argue the question, which had been rendered memorable by the glorious eloquence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; but he would simply in sober serious ness place these questions on the paper, believing that large interests had been endangered by the course pursued. Mr. E. JAMES said that if the hon. member fox Brighton had accurately observed what had taken place in this house and in the other house during the last few days, he would have seen that there was hardly any necessity for the re vival of this question. No doubt the public viewed the matter with a jealous feeling, but he could not agree in that part of the question which assumed that a precedent had been established by the House of Lords for a revision by that house of the provisions made by the House of Com mons for the service of the year. The hon. member must have known that the house had protested against the course taken by the Lords, and their protest was upon record in the journals of the house. He thought that the hon. mem ber ought to be satisfied with the course which had been taken, and be (Mr. James) believed that there was no de sire on the part of the other house to interfere in any re spect with the privileges of the House of' Commons, for only last evening the noble and learned lord on the wool sack had pronounced an opinion favourable to the course which this house had pursued, and the noble and learned lord further stated that there was no desire on the part of the House of Lords to interfere with the privileges of the Commons. Sir G. C. LEWIS said although he had spoken on the motion before the house he would offer a few observations. The house would not expect him to offer any excuse for not reviving a discussion on the general question of the paper duty, and of the action of the house with regard to that subject. With respect to the statement of the hon. mem ber, that there was a defect in the legal power for raising the paper duty, he would merely state that that duty was levied under an act of Parliament, which in former years had passed both houses and received the royal assent, and therefore, so far as the legal question was concerned, there was precisely the same authority for raising the paper duty as for levying and collecting any other branch of the Queen's taxes. The hon. member stated that the present House of Commons had distinguished itself by its large votes for expenditure, and seemed to infer from that that it was unreasonable to retain this branch of revenue. Now if the grants for expenditure had been unusually large, it was scarcely, perhaps, a logical inference that it was de sirable to diminish our revenue. (Hear.) With respect to compensation to the paper makerp the hon. members would no doubt recollect that the measure with respect to the cus toms duty on paper, which was very fully debated, and passed through both houses, proceeded for the most part on the supposition that the excise duty involved scarcely any appreciable loss to the paper interest. If that were correct it could hardly be said that the paper makers had any claim for compensation. (Hear, hear.) He was not aware that any such claim had been advanced, and if it had been it was clear that, no vote having been passed by the House of Commons for the purpose, the Treasury would have no means of mak ing any compensation, he would even go further and say that he could not see upon what possible ground any such claim could be put forward. (Hear.) No such precedent had been established as that referred to by the hon. member as effecting a change in the constitution. Those who promoted this measure in the other house knew that it was an extraor dinary remedy to meet an extraordinary evil. A noble lord most favourable to the course pursued considered that it was defensible as a medicine, though it could not be justified as daily food. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It was clear that no precedent for any change of system had been established, and even if such a thing were attempted, he did not see how it would be mended by resorting to the course indicated by the hon. member for Brighton. (Hear, hear.) Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought the House of Com mons would be always ready to vindicate their privileges if they were really invaded by the Lords. The moral to be drawn from this state of the paper duty question was that the House of Commons should not hastily embark in any extensive reduction of taxation until it was aware of the expenditure which would be required. The only effect of the hasty course adopted was that the revenue had sus tained the loss of probably not less than a quarter of a mil lion, which showed that the house had been guilty of great imprudence in repealing this tax. (Hear, hear.) PROPOSED NEW STREET FROM COVENTRY-STREET. —A plan is under consideration for a new street commenc ing from Coventry. street, passing south of Leicester-square, and in a south-east direction, and continuing along Orange street at the back of the National Gallery, and in a line with King William-street. The plan has the support of the parishes of St. James and St. Martin. Funds to carry it out are in hand.—Builder. [ADVERTISEMENT.] — Depression of Spirits—Debility.— Some defect in digestion is generally the cause of mental depression. On rectify ing the disordered stomach the long list of gloomy thoughts retire, and are succeeded by more hopeful and happier feelings. Holloway's pills have been renowned far and wide for effecting this desirable change. They remove all obstructions, regulate all secretions, and correct depraved humours, by purifying the blood and in vigorating the stomach. Their medicinal virtues reach, relieve, and stimulate every organ and gland in the body ; whereby the entire system is renovated. No medicine ever before discovered acts so directly and beneficially upon the blood and circulation as Holloway's celebrated pills ; which combine the rare merits of efficiency and harmlessness. THE ROAD MYST.ERY. No further direct clue has been discovered likely to lead to the unravelment of the mystery which hangs over this cruel child murder. There is one point, and one alone, which, accord ing to the evidence already given, requires to be cleared up, and that is with respect to the missing night-dress of Miss Constance, the daughter, who was charged with the commission of the murder, but against whom the evidence broke down, and who is now under the recognisance of her father to appear whenever called upon. The facts of the case, as far as they are already known, show an in nocent child of four years old, the idol of his father and mother, taken out of his cot while sleeping in the room with his nurse, murdered, and his body thrown down the common privy or cess pool. No person could expect to derive any pecuniary or other benefit from the death of the child, and all motive of that kind may be at once put out of consideration. The murder was no doubt committed by some person or persons resident or secreted in the house for the purpose, for the condi tion of the doors and windows clearly proved that the house could not have been entered from outside during the night. The window of the room on the ground floor was found open, but the shutters inside were closed, and if any person had gone out through the window he clearly could not have closed the shutters behind him. The window must have been opened as a mere blind to throw off suspicion, but the person who opened it from the inside strangely enough closed the shutters afterwards. No stranger would have entered the house to murder a child whom he did mot know. The nurse and ser vants had apparently no object to serve by such an act. The parents were fond to excess of the boy and it is difficult to believe that any one short of a sori or daughter of a Herod could have delibe rately and in the dead of the night taken a sleeping child from his bed and murdered him. Neverthe- less, it is perfectly clear that such a person inns t have been under the roof at the time. All attempts to fix the guilt upon any person have hitherto failed, and some severe reflections have bsen made upon the police officers entrusted with the investi gation of this extraordinary case. Sir G. Bowyer, in the House of Commons, commented upon the conduct of the poliee in causing Miss Constance Kent to be arrested, merely, as he said, because " one of her night-gowns happened to be missing." The loss of a night-dress, per se, may be a very trifling affair, but the circumstances under which it disappeared might be of the very gravest cha racter. The Home Secretary, however, :in re ply to Sir George Bowyer, stated that he had been " apprised of all the facts of the case," and that in his opinion no ground existed for imputing any misconduct to the police, and that there were circumstances with regard to the young lady which, in a case of such peculiar mystery and horror, jus tified her arrest. Moreover, he took it upon him self to say, from a knowledge of the facts of the case, that the officer was justified in the course which he adoplsed. The story of the missing night-gown is a some what remarkable one, and is scarcely less myste-. rious than the murder itself. So far as can be gathered from the evidence, Miss Constance had in her possession on the night of the murder three night-dresses, one of which was in wear, and the other two were clean in a chest of drawers in her own room. After the murder she had but is o, and she herself told Inspector Whicher " the other was lost at the wash the week after the murder." It is thus clearly established that the night-dress was lost at a most critical period—namely, after the murder. The housemaid states positively that a night-dress of Miss Constance was put into the clothes-basket on the Monday following the mur der, while the laundress and her two daughters both positively swear that when they received the dirty clothes on the same day there was no night-dress of Miss Constance's among them. As regards the statement of these persons there can be no mistake, for in the small village there had been a rumour spread that a night-dress had been taken away by the police, and curiosity was therefore excited to examine the clothes brought from Mr. Kent's, to see if there was any truth in the report. They heard that a night-dress was lost, and they opened the basket within five minutes after they got home and found that one was missing. The night dress which the gossips of the village had said was missing was not, however, one of Miss Con stance's, but of the elder Miss Kent, arid it had been taken away by the police, because it presented cer tain appearances which proved upon examination to have no connection whatever with the murder. The housemaid, it will be remembered, stated posi tively that the night-dress of Miss Constance was put into the basket about 11 o'clock on Monday, and the evidence of the laundress and her daughters proves that it was not in the basket of clothes brought to their house an hour after. How and when was it removed ? The housemaid states that she called the elder Miss Kent to enter the number of the clothes in the washing book while she placed them in the basket. When the clothes were col lected together and duly entered in the washing book, Miss Constance made her appearance, and asked the housemaid to look among the linen for her " slip," to see if she had left her purse in the pocket. The clothes were turned out of the basket, and there was no purse found. Miss Constance then asked her to fetch her a glass of water, and followed her to the top of the back stairs as she left the room, and in returning the housemaid found her young mistress on the spot she had left her. Miss Constance drank the water and returned to her room. There is no further evidence upon this part of the case. One point in the evidence of Mr. Parsons, the surgeon, deserves attention. He says that when he accom panied Inspecter Foley in his search through the house on the morning after the murder he saw the night-dress of Miss Constance lying on the bed, that it was " very clean," and that he made a re mark to Foley. the nature of which was not stated in court, as it was not made in the presence of Miss Constance. He said he did not know how long it had been worn, but in his cross examination by the counsel for the prisoner he said that it might have been worn a week. Had the impression of the surgeon that the night-dress was "very clean" led to Miss Constance being called upon to produce her three night dresses, it is probable that there might have been no grounds for the subsequent arrest of that young lady. As to the motive for the murder of an unof fending child, the only one which appears on the face of the evidence, as given on the examination, is that of jealousy on the part of Miss Constance of the boy. Constance had complained, while at school, of the partiality shown by hcir father t(ll4`, 4D. SPA 11:IYE 511• towards the children of the second marl iage, and the degradation which her brother suffered when at home in having to draw the young children in a perambulator, and that Mr. Kent, in comparing the younger child with William the elder, was in the habit of saying that he would make a much finer man than the other. It was Constance and her brother William who ran away toge ther from their home, the young lady disguised in male attire, for the purpose of going on board ship at Bristol, and on that occasion her ordinary wearing apparel, and the hair which her brother cut from her head with a knife, were thrown down and concealed in the same privy in which the body of the poor child was found. The Road mystery is one which will probably never be cleared ap. Our police system is not, perhaps, so efficient as it might be made ; but, at the same time, in judging of the conduct of the particular officers charged with the investigation of this mysterious affair, it is but right to bear in mind that it was not until a fortnight after the murder had taken place that Inspector Whicher was sent down to the spot by the Home-office, on the application of the local magistracy, who had been completely baffled in their inquiries ; that, as a detective officer, his reputation for activity and intelligence has been long established; and that the Home Secretary— a man more competent, perhaps, than any other in England to decide upon the value of evidence—has expressed the fullest approbation of his conduct.— Observer. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. It is unpleasant to be deceived, but still more un pleasant to be undeceived. Every one has read of, and many, alas ! have felt, that period of life when the passions of youth have cooled, when its illu sions have vanished, when things appear just as they are, without colour and without exaggeration, or even a little worse than they are. This is a time of much grumbling and infinite discontent, when man pleases not nor woman either, when the salt of existence has lost its savour, and we have nothing left wherewithal to salt it. The person suffering under this visitation of hypochondria probably views it in a very different light. His own ill humour and disappointment he is apt to regard as the result of a stoical or rather cynical philosophy, and mistakes the sourness of his own mind for eleva tion and comprehensiveness of view. Such we apprehend to be the morbid condition under which Sir G. Bowyer is at this moment labouring. He has had for many years a vision of Italy, and that vision has become dear to and in separable from his highest aspirations. He has seen her " great, glorious, and free" under the mildguid ance of an infallible Pontiff, who infuses into the secular business of government the pure wisdom and the all-inclusive charity which he has learnt from his sacred vocation, and who strengthens the aspirations of his subjects for a Paradise beyond the grave by affording them as lively an image as human frailty will permit of an earthly Elysium. Tuscany has been "mildly governed" by her legitimate Sove reign, who has had no other fault than being too good for his people. Naples has a liberal King, who, in the fulness of the liberality of his Royal heart, and without the slightest compulsion. external or internal, grants his people liberty of the press, the right of bearing arms, and a free Constitution. Parma has been uniformly well governed, at least since her last Duke was murdered ; and Modena is justly celebrated for the advanced liberalism of her Duke, and the excellence of his administration. Such was the happy state of the Italian Peninsula, recalling the glorious days of old Saturn. when, behold, a change sud denly arises. It is not that Austria is over thrown by France ; oh ! no ; such an event could not, of course, influence the future of a nation founded on the rock of the Papacy, and obeying no other behests than those which she receives from patriotic and paternal Princes. But Lord Palmer ston and Lord John Russell and others, greatly envying the happy state of this favoured region, make inflammatory speeches in the House of Com mons ; the press catches the contagion ; a ferment is excited in the minds of the people ; a fiend in human shape arises in the form of the pirate Gari baldi, and all this happiness is destroyed, and the Eden of the Universe, the abode of peace, enlighten ment, and contentment, is involved in the flames of a sanguinary revolution. How can Sir G. Bowyer, who as a Knight of Malta may fairly consider him self as a prominent bulwark of this happy order of things, refrain from deep grief at seeing these things ? In vain Lord Palmerston assures him that he has no hand in the enterprise of Garibaldi, that he never spoke of it in terms of exultation, and that if the said Garibaldi does succeed in Naples, it must be due entirely to the widespread discontent which the rule of its admirable Prince has created, and not by his own strength. In vain does Sir G. Bowyer strive to find solace in the thought that the King of Naples has the fullest right to hang Garibaldi, if he can catch him. The galling thought will recur that it is far more likely Gari baldi will catch the King of Naples than that the King of Naples will catch Garibaldi; and that as for hanging, the less said of that ill-omened word in these days, when thousands are panting to wreak a bloody vengeance on the tyrants who have so long trampled on them, the better. We admit that, according to existing appearances, Sir G. Bowyer's woes are inconsolable. But let him have patience. Who knows what time may not have in store for him ? Austrian bayonets still bristle behind the Quadrilateral ; the Italians in the intoxication of their triumph may venture an attack, and lose all as they have won all. The exiled sbirri may.return to Naples ; the dungeons may once more be fitted up for the reception of all that is brave and noble in the country ; the affairs of the Pope mayyet revive, his authority rests on a solid and self-supporting foun dation of human prejudice and ignorance ' • the In quisition sleeps, but is not dead ; Antonelli is vigi lant and dexterous, and Sir G. Bowyer may yet live to sing Nunc Dimittis over the extinguished ashes of that flame of Italian liberty which now burns so. brightly and blazes so high. Turning from the disconsolate champion of the Papacy, we have much pleasure in recognising the truth and justice of the remarks of Mr. Kinnaird and Mr. Kinglake on Friday night, receiving, as they do' confirmation from the assent or silence of Lord Palmerston. It is quite true that the annexa tion of Savoy has been purchased very dearly by the French Government. We are told this trifling ac cession of territory may be regarded with much favour by a nation which no amount of misery or slaughter seems able to cure of the fatal lust for territorial aggrandisement. The Emperor may by taking Savoy and Nice have seated himself more firmly on the throne. That is quite possible. But beyond the frontiers of France the feeling that has been created is coldly rendered by the cautious and diplomatic term of " distrust." The feeling is some thing far more active and energetic than distrust. It is the natural desire for mutual support and as sistance; it has breathed life and some sort of energy into the torpid and disunited frame of Ger many. It has taught Austria more powerfully than the carnage of Solferino that she can only exist by modifying her system of stupid and objectless re pression. It has convoked a Council of the Empire, which may, perhaps, be the faint and doubtful dawn of a better and brighter day. It has roused Prussia to the defects of her military system, and taught her to consider how she is to meet the Zouaves with a force little superior to ordinary militia. It has drawn Austria and Prussia together. It has excited the patriotic feelings of Belgium and the energetic protests of Switzerland. And in England it has done much to dissipate the dream of a cordial alliance, to which we have clung so fondly and so perseveringly, and set us seriously to work, as Mr. Kinglake truly remarks, to prepare for all the worst evils of war. These things the annexation of Savoy has done. If any one wishes to measure the amount of the change, let him com• pare the speech of Lord Palmerston on Friday even ing with his former speeches when any attempt was made to inspire distrust of the Emperor of the French. Perhaps when these matters begin to be better understood in France the nation may see how high a price must be paid for these territorial acquisitions, and how impossible it is to combine at the same time the security and regard of neigh bouring States which wait upon a peaceful and honourable policy with the gratification of those empty dreams of ambition which the disasters and miseries of the First Empire seemed for a time to have eradicated, but which the false policy of Louis Philippe and the aggresive attitude of the present Government of France have only too fully revived. —Times. Lord Clyde (says the United Service Gazette) left town on Thursday for Vichy, the mineral waters of which have been recommended to his lordship as a most powerful restorative after the relaxing effects of his Indian campaign. His lordship's friends need, however, be under no apprehension respecting his health, as this visit is merely the fulfilment of an intention which was defeated by the sudden breaking out of the great mutiny. His lordship had, we believe, his luggage packed, and was about to start for Vichy when the letter of the Prime Minister reached him, requ esting him to take the Indian command. Every one cnow s the promptitude with which Lord. Clyde an sivered to the call of his country on that occasion. 1" . --- - - - e 7 7 'S ‘ 7 " N EWE'S' PAP Eli ~ , ,i _.,! s-i : - ~,. . .. per ' 1 r4l4 w i ‘ " 3.

A King doubting whether he should put himself at the head of* his army and fight for his throne, or give up all hope and rake to flight. Then we have a Ministry utterly power- - lcss, and whose authority is unknown to the army and navy. Add to this; a couple of Pi.a:nio:,tc..a, steamers with royal troops on board ready to land in the bay, and all the world expecting Garibaldi to appear suddenly and proclaim King Victor Em manuel. Imagine the muddle and confusion all these strange events create, the town, I should have observed, being in a stage of siege—a measure which was obliared by the attempted conspiracy of the Kin e.'s uncle. We must have a crisis before many days, and I think it will end in the King's fl'ght. We know Garibaldi is to land, or has landed, an army corps of some additional 5,000 men, independ ent of the Reggio expedition. The accounts from Calabria still speak of increasing and spreading re volutionary movements. Bands of armed men are collecting and waiting orders from Garibaldi's agents. It only requires the presence of the famous patriot and a force to centre round, with a head to direct ; and an army, or a mob, whichever you like, to rule it, of 200,000 men might be got together. The revolutionary committee have not been idle. The returned political exijes have worked hard, and the King has decidedly utterly failed to gain confidence by his tardy constitutional promises. • Several naval and military officers have been called to Naples as suspected of having corre pondence with Garibaldi. On the other hand, the King is active in endeavouring to animate loyalty and devotion amongst the troops. I think his foreign (Bavarian, as they are called) regiments will fight ; but, as for the Neapolitan troops, I do not believe they will stand against, Garibaldi's men. however,-this- - question •,vill be answered within a few days. The election of deputies for our promised Parlia ment is put off. All newspapers which have not paid the 3,000 ducats caution money are suspended. These facts may look reactionary, but they are not so. The Ministry, I repeat, are sincere and honest, and but for the bad reputation of the King all would go well. As it is, no one cares what they say or do. We look to Garibaldi's arrival, and con sider the King and Government alike provisional. I now send you further particulars relative to the departure of his Royal Highness the Count d'Aquila from Naples. Prince Luigi, the King's uncle, the originator of the proposed coup d'etat, embarked on board a Brazilian corvette the same night (Monday) the affair was to have taken place. The following morning, at about nine o'clock, he sailed with all his family, carriages, horses, equi page, &c., towed by the steamer Vessuvio. The official joarnal announced his departure by stating that the prince (the admiral) was en route to L ondon for affairs of the royal navy ! I cannot exactly say what were his intentions in endeavouring to get up this coup d'etat ; in fact, whether it was to do away with the present Go vernment and seize the throne. The conspiracy was planned on a large scale, and would have created a sanguinary conflict throughout the country. His satellites were, and still are, armed. The day of the conspiracy several cases of arms wore seized at the Custom-house. We are indebted to the Minister of the Interior, Signor Romano, for the suppression of the revolt and plunder of the city. He was. oddly enough, formerly a dependent of Prince Luigi. He lost no time in exposing the conspiracy and placing th* details of the plot before the King, and further insisting upon the expulsion of his uncle, the Prince. It is almost certain that M. Jermain, a French merchant, who has a shop near the Caffe de L'Europe, known as a spy, was the person who had the arms brought from France ; and with him two other Neapolitan merchants are named, viz., Miccio and Malagrida. There also seems no doubt that M. d'Ajon, a Frenchman, was mixed up in the conspiracy. M. Farina and some of the new commissaries of police were implicated in this conspiracy. Count Gaitano, a major of hussars, was the only military man whom I can name as one of the Prince's tools, but there must be many more in the army who are guilty. General Nunziante certainly sent in his resignation to avoid being identified with Prince Luigi's conspiracy. This I heard from his own lips, but I do not place much confidence in it ; we are all so liberal now. The Austrian Government, I hear in official quarters, will not interfere in Italy, but act on the defensive in Venetia. Prussia is said to have made an agreement with Austria to assist at the defence of Venice, and in return Austria is to help Prussia if the Rhine provinces are attacked by France. So say our wise men.

The personal property' was sworn under £45,000. The deceased possessed estates in Australia and New Zealand, The testa tor gives to his daughter Catherine, who resided with him, an immediate legacy of £lOO, and many specific bequests, together with a sixth part of the residue of his entire estate ; and to this disposition he has also given a very peculiar direction—namely, that his said daughter may occupy the house in which he resided and receive and entertain com pany in the same manner as he himself had done, during the interval of nine months after his decease, the expense of which is to defrayed out of the pro ceeds of his estate. There are a variety of gifts to all members of the family. A tribute of affection, 1 consisting of plated corner-dishes, &c., was pre sented to him on the occasion of his birthday by his children, on his attaining his 70th year. This token of regard he has bequeathed to his son Charles. Mr. Few appears to have given his attention to the study of a particular branch of natural history : this has been carried out by bequeathing to Dr. James Heywood, his son-in-law, physician to the Derby Infirmary, his cabinet of fossils, some specimens of which he particularly valued as having been col lected by the Duke of Norfolk when a youth tra velling in a foreign land. The will then goes on to distribute, after the payment of legacies, the re mainder of his estate in six equal portions, on e sixth to each of his children, and concludes with some small legacies to his servants.
