And that it be a further instruction to the said committee, if, after due inquiry, it ap pears that by reason of some technicality or over sight on the part of the legislature the said recited sections do not apply to the City of London, to pre pare a statement of the facts to be laid before the Home Secretary, with a view of a clause being in serted in the London Corporation Bill granting to the Court of Common Council the control and ma nagement of the proposed Pauper Lunatic Asylum." The object of the motion was to vest the manage- ment of the City P:tuper Lunatic Asylum, about to be erected, in the Court of Common Council, instead _ of in the hands of the Court of Aldermen, who now claim it.

On Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock the fishing boat Eliza, belonging to Samuel Odgers, the watrman's boat Glance. be longing to Thomas Cloud, and the New Pilot, John Charlick, were just off the west end of the Break water, coming in, 'when a shell fired from Pickle combe Battery, Mount Edgeumbe, burst over them, and one piece dropped into the Eliza. Providenti ally no injury was done, but the men were much alarmed. The guns at Picklecombe are pointed right across.the western entrance, which is the most frequented approach to the harbour. the overruling hand of God in all we have done, confident that without his sustaining aid we are powerless. One word more—that I have applauded what occurred abroad. lam not here to presage peril gathering near, but sure I am that if any foreign invader shall ever presume to set foot on British or Irish soil, your services will not prove less resolute and effective at home than they have been abroad. I trust I may add that in such an event the exertions of many of her Majesty's civil subjects will almost vie with yours. The toast was drunk amidst vehement cheering. Sergeant-Major POCOCK, in a brief speech, re turned thanks. He concluded by remarking that such a scene as they had witnessed to-day, with the • honour which had been conferred upon them, was more than sufficient to compensate for all the toils ,and hardships they had undergone. (Cheers.) Various other toasts were drunk. The whole of the officers of the regiment (27) were present at the entertainment. There were about 800 men in all, about one-half of whom served in the Indian campaign. In the march to the banquet the corps were preceded by twelve of the pioneers who did duty in India. They yet bore in their appearance the traces of the hard ships and privations endured by them in that arduous service.—Forres Gazette. Princes by force. Should he do so, let Ili take great care that we leave him the undivided honour of the achievement. The second division of the Mediterranean fleet, under the command of Rear-Admiral Mundy, C. 8., is being refitted at Malta with all despatch, in the Grand Harbour ; it consists of the following ships : —Hannibal, 91 (bearing the Rear-Admiral's flag) ; St. Jean d'Acre, 91; Renown, 91 ; Exmouth, 90 ; London, 90; Brunswick, 80; and Assurance gun boat. The Plover and Torch, two of the steam gun vessels which are being built for the Government by contract at private yards, are ordered to be sent to Chatham dockyard when completed, for the pur pose of being fitted. Each Tessel is to be furnished with one 68-pounder pivot-gun, of 95 cwt., and 1 0 feet in length, and four 24-pounder howitzers. The Charybdis, 21, screw corvette, is ordered to proceed from Chatham to Sheerness for the purpose of coaling, previously to going on her trial trip to test her machinery. The line-of-battle ships Atlas, 91, and Bulwark, 91, building at Chatham, are being pushed forward so that they may be completed as early as possible. The Arrogant, 47, screw frigate, Captain W. Ed monstone, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead yesterday. On rounding the Spit Buoy she exchanged the customary salutes with the naval authorities of the port. The Urgent, screw troopship, Commander H. W. Hire, at Portsmouth, has sent up Cunningham's patent topsail yards, and bent on her topsails. She will land her screw to-day, to have its leading cor ners taken off. The Mseander storeship, Commander Sir M. Macgregor, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday. A number of the blacksmiths at Portsmouth dock yard are ordered to work day and night to complete the ironwork required for the different vessels fitting out and being built at that port. The screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Captain B. Rice, in Hamoaze, got up steam on Wednesday to try her engines. The gunboat Violet left Plymouth on Wednesday. The gunboats Weazel and Cockchafer, at Ply mouth, were towed alongside the steam sloop En counter, 14, on Wednesday, for the purpose of trans ferring their guns. The gunboats Lark and Porpoise are under repair off Keyham steam-yard, Plymouth. The gunboat Redwing went outside Plymouth Sound on Wednesday for shell practice. The Russian three-masted steam schooner Need nix, Commander Selivanoff, from Portsmouth for Nicolaiefsk, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday. The crews of her Majesty's iron paddlewheel steamvessel Dover, late from the river Gainbia, were yesterday paid off at Woolwich, and were passed for transmission at the expense of the Colonial Go vernment to their native homes, to embark at Li verpool on Monday next. The Dover having re turned stores and stripped, is ordered to be docked for repairs with the readiest possible despatch. Detachments of the Portsmouth Artillery companies and Royal Marines, and of the divisional companies of Royal Marine Light Infantry at Woolwich, were yesterday placed under orders to hold themselves in readiness for embarkation on board her Majesty's ships Prometheus, Commander Skipwith ; Ardent, Commander Parish ; and Weser, Commander Raby, recently placed in commission at Woolwich. Petty officers, able seamen, stokers, B:c., are required for these ships, the Prometheus and Ardent requiring upwards of 300 of all ranks. First Lieut. T. M. Kelsall and Paymaster H. E. Kitchen yesterday joined the Weser from the flagship Cumberland, Rear-Admiral Sir S. Lushingtou, K.C.B. The crews have likewise commenced giving in their names. The Rev. Edward Rudge, B.C.L.,Chttplain-Super intendent of King Fdward Vl.'s School for Desti tute Children, yesterday attended at the Fisgard's offices at - Woolwich Dockyard, in charge of 40 well grown lads, from 14 to 15 years of age, volunteers for the naval service on- board her Majesty's ships of war. The entries for the service arc now limited to 20 per week. The weekly applications, how ever, are seldom under 200. A large number of the lads were consequently rejected, and some failed to pass medical inspection. Her Majesty's gunboat Louisa, 60-horse power, Lieut.-Commmander T. W. Oliver (tender to the screw steam Coastguard ship Edinburgh), yester day arrived at Woolwich from Leith, to be exa mined and repaired. Her Majesty's steam storeship Rhadamanthus, Master-Com. Sturdee, has shipped a full cargo of sseam gear and will sail to-day for the western yards. Since the promulgation of " the commercial code of signals for the use tof all nations," by the Board of Trade, a number of proposals for improvements in signalling have been made to the Admiralty, and independent lof Redle's cone signals, now on trial in the Channel fleet, several night and day signals have been submitted, and some ordered to be tested at Woolwich. It may be well to apprise projectors of these and other matters that the article to be tried is always manufactured or provided at the inventor's expense. This is an invs.riable rule with the Admiralty, and were it not strictly ob served serious cost would be incurred often to little purpose, as it is quite impossible for the Board to ascertain the value of an invention until it is re ported on by competent and independent parties. An improved code of general signals has lately been prepared, the result of the recommendation of a com mission consisting of Admiral Hope, now comman der-in-chief in the East Indies,and Capt. Phillimore, commanding the Curacoa steam frigate. It is possi ble the symbols for interpreting this code may be amended, for certainly thejold flags are objectionable on many accounts, being more in num'rer than are necessary, and not sufficiently distinct. The cone symbols have several warm advocates, but they ap pear better calculated for telegraphing than general signals, for a general signal should be complete at one view, and not dependent for interpretation on successive hoists. We understand that the designs now being prepared at the expense of the inven tors, and ordered to be tried and reported on at Woolwich, are Mrs. Costan's night signals, Mr. Ward's night signals, and Commander Brown's battle signals, the latter comprised of four symbols of different shapes, which by transmutation of two together make 20 messages, presumed to be suffi cient for all purposes in action. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Lieut. T. Hooper to the Prometheus ; W. Rogers, paymaster, to the Prome theus; T. W. W. Spear, paymaster, to the Ardent; It. T. B. Bruce, naval cadet, to the Aboukir ; J. A. Challice, naval cadet, to the Mersey ; T. B. Gough and A. 11. Byng, naval c adets, to the Hera ; V. L. Peyton and R. Sutton , na val cadets, to the Odin; G.

The Commissioners resumed their inquiry at 11 o'clock this morning. Mr. Brear, teacher of music, examined by Mr. Sergeant Pigott, said he voted for Charlesworth, but never offered a bribe, except by way of a joke. Believed he told Thomas Paget that money was be ing dealt out in coal-scuttles, and that he might as well have a hundred or two as any one else. Paget was a Leathamite, and witness never expected that he would vote for Charlesworth. Common rumour convinced him that money was flying in all direc tions, and that his brother " Joe" was particularly active in distributing it. Never told Paget that he might have £5O for every vote he might get in ad dition to his own. Did net offer anybody else a bribe in joke. Got nothing for his own vote. Joseph Leighton, brother of a voter named Reu ben Leighton, deposed that his brother was offered £29 by Mr. Jubb to vote for Charlesworth, to gether with a receipt for a debt of £35. Witness offered him £35 to clear off the debt and £5O in addi tion out of his pocket if he would vote for Leatham. Reuben voted for Charlesworth, bat witness could not say what sum he actually received. John Jab was called, and denied the statement made by Leighton in toto. John Chapman stated that a day or two before the election ho canvassed Reuben Leighton on be half of Leathern. He offered to cancel a debt of £lO, and give Leighton £lO in money if he would vote for Leatham, and the man accepted it, but subsequently returned the money, stating that he had received more from the torics.

Mr. ABRAHAMS seconded the motion, observing that that court had already taken the initiative in the matter, by p.cviding the means of erecting the building. When the asylum was erected, 200 or 300 pauper lunatics would have to be maintained, either by a county ,rate or out of the city's cash, and as the former had already been condemned by that court they would themselves have to find the means of keeping up the asylum, and ought, there fore, to have it under their own control, instead of leaving it under the control of an irresponsible body, like the Court of Aldermen.

Thomas Jink, who appeared before the commis sioners yesterday in a state of intoxication, and de nied having received anything for his vote, was re called this morning, and admitted that his wife re ceived £3O from the conservatives. Joseph Hascroft, a non-elector, deposed to having been employed. by Mr. T. K. Sanderson to bribe a voter named Dawson. Witness told Daw son that he could get him £4O, and Mr. Sanderson waited in the passage until the bargain was con cluded, ready to pay the money. [Mr. Sanderson acted as secretary to the conservative committee, and in his evidence last week denied most distinctly having been cognisant of any act of bribery.] AV fit ness added that Sanderson declined to pay him for his services after the election was over, and he only recovered the money after putting Mr. Sanderson in the county cour t. Joe Brear paid him. Hascroft further spoke to having been present when Brent offered a man named Titus Thompson a bribe, and to having heard John Crossland offer George In; ham, the eating-house keeper, £5O. Heard Mr. Alder offer a voter na me d T a yl or mone y, but heard no particular sutn mentioned. Nev e r saw or heard of "the Man in the Moon" in the election. Mr. FARRAR observed that in all boroughs the town council had the management of lunatic asylums, and that if in any act to be introduced a clause was inserted enacting th'.lt for that particu lar purpose the city of London—which was a county in itself—should be a borough, all the pur poses of the motion would be answered. The motion was agreed to. THE SHERIFFS' COURT. Mr. 11. WELLINGTON VALLANCE moved as fol lows, viz. :—" That it be referred to the Law, Par liamentary, and City Courts Committee, or to the Officers and Clerks Committee, to ascertain and re port to this Court whether any and what changes or improvements are necessary or desirable and can be effected in the jurisdiction, process, procedure,.and scale of fees in the Sheriffs' Court, and if so, in what manner, and at what cost. The Corporation of London had, he said, been the first, as commerce became important, under the House of Lancaster, to perceive the necessity for cheap and speedy justice ; and by act of Common Council, in the 9th -year of Henry VIII., they established a Court of Requests. for the prompt recovery of small debts. This set be example for imperial legirlatiun, and before tile abolition of the Court of Requests, in 1846, nearly 200 similar courts had been established in the country. Then, however, came the county courts, with extended jurisdiction and en larged powers, which the Sheriffs' Court of LondOn did not possess. He thought it extremely desir able that. the Sheriffs' Court in its powers and jurisdiction should be assimilated to the county courts, and more especially so with regard to the four following- points: 1. The Metropolitan Dis trict Clause; 2, the Judgment by Default Clause; 3, the Payment by Instalment Clause ; and 4, the Removal of Judgments for sums above £2O into the courts of issuing effective executions. In addition to these points he wished to extend the jurisdiction of the Sheriffs' Court, as that of the county courts had been extended by-the Divorce and Matrimonial Clauses and the Probate Acts. Proper inquiry on the subject would, he had no doubt, lead that court to ask the Legislature for an act which would give to the citizens of London the same advantages through their Sheriff' Court which the inhabitants of other districts of the metropolis enjoyed through the county 'courts, and he hopz.d, therefore, the court would assent to the appointment of a com mittee. Mr. R. M. PHILLIPS seconded the motion. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said a great deal of incon venience had been occasioned by the omission of the City of London from general Acts of Parliament. This was the case notonly with regard to the County Courts Acts, but also with regard to the Pauper Lunatic Asylums Act, and he hoped that in future the City would be excepted from no beneficial gene ral act which did not materially interfere with its privileges. The motion was then agreed to with the exception that the inquiry was referred to the Law, Parlia mentary, and City Courts Committee, instead of the Officers and Clerks Committee. Hotel, Filcy.

Titus Thompson sal.: he voted for Charlesworth, but received nothing for it. Always voted " free gratis." Simeon Speak voted for Charlesworth, and re ceived £4O for his vote from Archibald Crowther. Robert Jackson, landlord of the Borough Market Hotel, stated that just before the election, three voters, named Taylor, Cass, and Link, stayed at his house and slept there. Voters were also refreshed at his house, and his bill against the conservatives amounted to more than £25. Samuel Fieldhouse voted for Leatham, and re ceived £2O from Jos. Tu'nnacliffe. Was offered £5O by Archie Crowther to vote for Charlesworth, but declined to take it. Charles Peat said Joseph Wood, a voter, showed him £35 in his own workshop, which he said hehad received for his vote. Wood had been examined, and had sworn that he had received nothing. Mr. Serjeant Pigott remarked that it was sad to see the conflicting evidence which had been raid be fore the commissioners. In' some of the cases the perjury was so gross that the commissioners should feel it their duty to certify them to the Attorney- General, in order that the offending parties might be prosecuted. A number of witnesses were then called, who spoke to attempts which had been made to bribe them by Sharpley to vote for Mr. Leatham. The inquiry was again adjourned.

The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DII BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENT A Alt A BICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of 1.6,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Itevalenta Arabica, of whinh we arc the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

TILE QUEEN AND THE VOLUNTEERS. —A more than usual excitement prevailed at Birkenhead on Satur day, owing to the volunteer rifles being summoned to act as a guard of honour to hor Majesty when passing the Chester s t a ti o n on her way to Bangor. ' rho four companies mustered at the Monk's Ferry H otel, about 170 strong, and on arrival at Chester were placed on the lino of rails in front of the plat form where her Mztj:”;ty would receive the address from the Mayor. About P1(1 of the Inniskillen Militia formed the centre of the guard of honour, with their band and colours, and two companies of the volunteers were on each wing. We are only doing justice to the latter when we say that they presented a very soldier-like appearance. and looked re markably well in their dark green uniform. The mustero the -was smaller than it otherwise would h ave been, owing t hhortness of the notice. The Lord - Li eutenant, the Marquis or Westminster, was on the platform, and expressed himself much pleased with their effective state. While the reading that they were of the address was going on, Prince Albert seemed to pay and saluti_ng, great attention to the volunteers, and seeing, we suppose, please."

The Adelaide steam transport, Capt. Bourn, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Waterford with the 2d Battalion of the 18th Royal Irish on board. The regimental baggage, horses, &c., were landed alongside the dockyard yesterday, and the troops will land this evening and proceed by special train to Aldershott. The following are the names of the officers and number of the troops,: - 1 Major Armstrong, in command: Major 0. B. D'Arey • Capts. Inman, Bishopp , Kin g , Haydock, and Hailowes ; Lieuts. Noblett, Wray, Hall, Mac gregor, Home, and Briggs ; Ensigns Marsland, Little, Marryatt, Meredith, Butler, Cornish, and Herbert ; Adjt. and Lieut. Dawson ; Quartermas ter Godfrey; Srrg. Peake ; Assist.-Surgs. Spencer and Coglan ; two ladies, 13 children, 852 rank and file, 62 women, 72 children, and six horses. The newly-invented tents which have been patented by Mr. Turner, two of which have been erected within the Spur battery at Chatham, and occupied by the troops selected from the Ist Batta lion, arc found to answer their intended purp3ses so admirably that orders have been given directing that they shall be given over for the use of the men attached to the 3d Battalion, a portion of whom arc to occupy the tents each night. The number of men who can sleep in the smallest of the two tents is 18, each man having a hammock to himself. There is also a stove in the cents e of each tent to warm the interior during the night in order to keep up an equal temperature for the troops occupying them. Arrangements are in progress, and will probably shortly be carried into effect, for formino . the Roy er al Engineer detachments now at heal-quarts, Chatham, into four separate depot companies. This will greatly facilitate the arrangements for the organisation of the corps, as the detachment of recruits at Brompton Barracks now numbers 500 men, On the formation of the proposed four depots On Tuesday last the 78th Highlanders, who so greatly distinguished themselves in India during the mutiny, especially at Cawnpore and Lucknow, were honoured with a public reception and a ban quet at Nairn. At half-past 12 the train from the west brought the regiment, about 800 strong, and they were drawn up on the road adjoining the Nairn Railway Station, adjacent to which was. a triumphal arch, surmounted by a floral crown, and bearing the inscription in large letters formed of holyhoek blossoms and spanning the roadway, " Welcome to Nairn, 78th !" From two lofty flag staffs, decorated with ivy, floated the Union Jacks on the one side on a large banner of blue ground, and on the other of crimson. The command having been given the soldiers marched in companies, headed by the sergeants of their respective corps, in close column. The road from the railway station to the west end of the town, on both sides, was lined with well-dressed persons of both sexes, and every eminence near was crowded with occupants, anxious to catch a glimpse of the gallant fellows as they passed along. The cheering was enthusiastic , and the progress a complete ovation till they reached another triumphal arch at the Royalty, nearly opposite to the Provost's house. Here was a magnificent erection, composed of evergreens and flowers, surmounted by a colossal crown, and bear ing underneath the inscription—" Honour to the brave." Here a halt was called, and Provost Findlay stood forward to present the freedom of the town to the commanding officer, which he did in the following terms :—" Colonel M'lntyre—ln thus doing myself the honour of addressing you, I can assure you, it is with no ordinary degree of pride and pleasure that I appear here, accompanied by the corporation of the town of Nairn, to give you and your gallant regiment a most hearty welcome ,to our ancient burgh. The town council, cordially approving of the banquet to which the regiment has been invited, and sincerely sympathising in the sentiments in which it was originated, have voted to you the free dom of this burgh—the highest civic honour we can rotifer. My brother magistrates and councillors are here met to present to you, through me, the act of admission on the entrance of your regiment to the burgh. (Cheers.) I may here add that our interest in the regiment is, if possible, the more enhanced by the consideration that the gallant 78th will enter our royal burgh under the command of a brave and gallant officer whom we hail as a fellow citizen. We wish to express our high admiration of the services of your brave and distinguished regiment in India during the late calamitous mutiny, more particularly of the indomitable courage, the unswerving discip line, and the irresistible prowess with which they, under the great and good General Havelock, and the renowned Campbell, in the days of their country's need, and in the face of fearful odds, advanced so successfully to the ever memorable recapture of Cawnpore, and the relief and rescue of the brave and interesting garrison of Lucknow. We are all grateful for these and the many other distin guished services of the_ 78th, and proud are we of the heroes who achieved them. Time will not permit of my entering more into detail on this occasion ; I therefore-hope you will believe me to be sincere when I assure you, on behalf of the spirited corporation; and community over which I have the honour to preside, that we feel proud in doing honour to the brave. I myself, as an old soldier, feel the deepest interest in the services and renown of the gallant 78th—the corps in which my own lamented father carried the colours when your regiment fought and nobly conquered at Maida. (Cheering.) The clerk read the burgess ticket and presented it to Col. Wlntyre: Col. WINTYRE, in returning thanks, said it was not to anything he had done, but the heroic deeds of the gallant fellows in the ranks, to which the success which had crowned their efforts must be ascribed. He highly valued the honour now con ferred, and should ever cherish a grateful remem brance of it. (Cheers.) Deafening cheers succeeded, and the regiment, at the word of command, moved forward, passing along High-street on their way to the Links, where the banquet w. s awaiting them in an immense tent or marquee, within the walls of the Bathing-house grounds, capable of containing 2,000 guests. The chair was taken at half-past two by Mr. Wm. Brodie, of Brodie, lord-lientenant of the county of Nairn. Among the visitors present were Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duchess of Richmond and a distinguished party from Gordon Castle ; Lady Gordon Cumming, of Altyre, and the Master of Altyre ; the lady of the lamented Capt. Creswell, and a number of the landed proprietors of the neigh bouring counties, with their ladies and families. The substantial part of the banquet having been concluded, The usual loyal and' patriotic toasts were pro posed from the chair, and responded to with the liveliest enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then, addressing the guests of the evening, said-78th Highlanders! I am de lighted to see you here. Wo give this banquet to testify our admiration Of your gallant and efficient military services, particularly in India since the unexpected revolt of 1857, to verify as far as our limited liability will permit the prediction of t he immortal Havelock, that the victory won, " your labour, your sufferings, and your va lour be forgotten by a grateful country."our would not c onquest of India—the gradual extension e origina l and con solidation of the Anglo-Indian Empire—its mild and prosperous administration for 100 years—these were confessedly among the most striking achieve ments of modern times. Owing to the unexpected outbreak of a s% ide-spread and ferocious mutiny on the part of the Indian soldiery, whom we had our selves trained to arms, and trusted after they had long shown themselves quiet and faithful, that great empire was, in 1857, shaken to its centre, and all but lost. England then required strong arms and stout hearts to aid in the re-establishment of her lost power and in avenging the previously unheard-of atroci ties of the rebe llious' mutineers, Nobly was Eng land's call for aid responded to, and by none more conspicuously than by the 78th Highlanders. To retrieve the disaster appeared even more difficult than the original conquest. We had lost our pres tige—our foes had possessed themselves of Delhi, our Indian arsenal and our treasury. Flushed with success, they were also more numerous, better trained, and better organised than they had ever been before, yet India, thanks to our admirable mLitaiy and civil service, was reorganised and the rebels dispersed in less than two years! Time would fail were I to attempt noticing in detail the many distinguished services which were rendered by the 78th during this arduous struggle. But I cannot forbear a special allusion to the more im portant results—to their intrepid, and at length successful advances, under the noble, ever-to -be lamented Havelock, and the celebrated Lord Clyde, to the wonderful recapture of Cawnpore, and the glorious relief and rescue of the resolute and in teresting Lucknow garrison—its heroes and its heroimes. It was honourable to the 78th that such a man as Havelock should have foretold before that superior training and discipline on their part—that in his own words he should have " long and anxiously waited the opportunity of developing their powers." It was glorious for them and credi table to his discrimination that when the oppor tunity arrived they were more than valiant —i n somuch as to make him cl aim the regime n t as his own, and call them " t he Saviours of India,testify that their delebrat ed char g e, which the battle of Cawnpore , stood unsurpassed by even de " ci a d n e d d Maida and Assaye.

Above all, let us recognise with gratitude and praise its formal development in the treaty of Zurich. Europe has expected this document without great impatience, and the parties most nearly interested could have tolerated much longer delays, and a still more deliberate course of negotiation. The fact is that all present diplomacy must necessarily be ad verse to Italian interests. Negotiation upon the basis of the arrangement at Villafranca cannot but be hostile to the status quo in Italy. Nothing can be so satisfactory to the Italians as that status quo. Italy is at this moment free, orderly, and, in arms. Let her alone, and she will work out Italian unity in her own way. She fears nothing but her great friend and her great enemy on the other side of the Alps.. .Congr!sses are to her what a consultation of physicians might be to a healthy man. Take an English country squire just as he is mountinc , his hack to ride to the cover side for a little cub Bunt ing, carry him back into a warm room, and present him with a supply of physic anda code of dieta r y rules, all fresh prescribed by eminent doctors con vened by his neighbours. Then listen to the nature of his remarks upon this interference. Y ou w ill have a free translation of the ejaculations that will pervade the great cities of Northern Italy when this Treaty of Zurich comes to be read in their streets. However, hero the treaty is, or at least what purports to lie an analysis of it, as the text in et tense cannot be published before it is ratified. Here the treaty is, and we must deal with it It declares the will of the two Emperors, and that united will is fate to Italy, if it should take the form of united action. Lombardy, now exulting in her liberty and in the mild protection of her faithful Zouaves, is to undertake a liability as a ransom for her freedom of £10,000,0000 to Austria, and a compensation of £2,500,000 to her deliverer. Moreover, to check any outburst of her too exuberant spirits, she is to lie in her fat, unprotected, plains at the feet of the great fortresses of Peschiera and Mantua. The Treaty of . Zurich presents to Lombardy a heavy bill for present payment, and a heavy menace for the future. That there shall be no lack of signifi cancy in the menace, the Austrians are ostenta tiously increasing the strength of Peschicra, and cutting down the mulberry and olive trees to a safe distance from the lines. Even Milan will scarcely find another excuse for an illumination in the treaty which fixes her obligations. Milan, how ever, is the only city the present freedom of which is acknowledged by the treaty of Zurich. " The rights of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke of Modena, and the Duke of Parma are expressly re served." The "tranquillity of the Church and the power of the Holy Father" are to be insured, not by recognising the present Government in the Lega tions, but by the hopeful expedient of reforms to be advised by the Emperors of Austria and France, and to be carried out by the Pope. There is no recognition of the Italy of to-day ;no admission of any knowledge of those well-constituted Govern ments which aro administering justice and protect ing order; the Zurich Plenipotentaries see nothing but the old upholstery of the Italy of the Grand Dukes, and bow with diplomatic politeness to the empty chairs of state now removed to various lum ber rooms. According to this programme, Italy is to resume her old position, with some slight modi fications. The people of the Romagna are to return to their allegiance, and to dwell under the reformed administration of the Holy Father, under Imperial advice. Florence, and Mantua, and Parma are to welcome back their Dukes. Then shall arise, under the auspices of the two Emperors, the great Con federation of all the States of Italy. There will be the King of Sardinia at one end and the King of Naples at the other, and the Pope in the middle. There will be Austria faithfully representing the sentiments of the citizens of Venice, and the three Grand Dukes voting with equal fidelity the exact sentiments of their Italian subjects. There will be a federal army "to watch over the defence of the interior and exterior of Italy," to which the King of Naples will, no doubt, send his Swiss mercena ries, and the Pope will perhaps spare a contingent, with " Perugia" written upon their colours, to which the Dukes will contribute recruits drawn from their Hungarian estates, and Austria will despatch levies, at the departure of which Venice will be glad. These elements of a Federal Italian Army will mix well with the Sardinians, who may have met sense of them before at Palestro and Solferino; and they will be admirably adapted, in the glowing words of the Zurich Plenipotentiaries, to " preserve the inde pendence and integrity of Italy, and to insure the development of its moral and material interests." In more household English, the Federal Army will be either a mixture of foreign mercenaries and na tive Italians, or an army of native Italians. In the former case they will destroy each other ; in the latter they will destroy this Italian Confederation. The Italian Confederacy will be a Congress of States inhabited by a freedom-loving people, but a Congress :n which free institutions will be repre sented by a minority of one. How the Confederacy and the army will work together time only can show. If the army can be relied, upon to do the bidding of the Confederacy, we shall hear no more of Italian liberty ; and if the Confederacy should find itself oppressed by the army the result would be scarcely more satisfactory. An Italian Confe deracy, with the exiled Princes, is a wild notion, more wild than any that Plato or Sir Thomas More conceived. It bears relationship rather to the crotchets of the time of the French Revolution, for it requires a certain perfectibility of human nature even to set it at work. Before it can have a fair trial it will be indispensable that the Grand Dukes should become good governors and their subjects frank and enlightened enough to discover and con fess the change; that the Po p e, and the king of Naples, and the Emperor of Austria should all be come converted to free institutions, and quite friendly to popular rights; that France and Austria should thoroughly agree as to the amount of freedom that can be safely administered to the Romans, and the m in Venice of oppression that would be necessary n Venice ; that the Italians should all pull smoothly together, and should forget that they ever suffered wrongs or fostered jealousies in past times. When all this happens, and Sardinia works out of the debt which is just hung round her neck, we may, per haps, see a united Italy flourishing according. to the programme written out in the Treaty of Zurich.

If a wickedness to be perpetrated at the cost of human slaughter, let us take care how we touch it. We are not about to fight for " Italian unity ;" that is abundantly understood. We do not, as the French Emperor says of us, go to war for an idea. All we can do, then, apart from our influence upon the public opinion of the world, is to avoid any act which can give the sanction of England to any interference with Italy in her attempts to work out her own freedom. We do not believe that the Emperor of the French will, standing alone, or with Austria only by his side, restore these Italian THE GREAT EASTERN.—Saunders' News Letter of yesterday says :—Circumstances having occurred to in duce the belief that the directors of the Great Ship Company would be favourable to wintering the Great Eastern in Cork harbour, a deputation, consisting of Sir Edward M'Donnel, chairman of tho Great Southern and Western Railway Company; Sir John Benson, engineer of this harbour : Captain O'Brien, harbour-master of Queenstown; and Mr. M. J. Barry, secretary to the Port-of-Call Committee, left Dublin on Sunday for Holyhead, to put themselves in corn municaticn with the directors of the Great Ship Company. The following is from the chairman of the Great Eastern : "Great Eastern, October 16, 1859.—My dear T.,—We sail for America 29th of this, month. For the present we must abandon Cork, bdt likely at no distant date to give you a look in, and interest will be in nowise diminished by a trip to America.

SHOCKING RESULTS OF A TIGHT•ROPE PER FORMANCE.-110 Boston Courier of the 3d inst. says : " On Wednesday afternoon a frightful accident occurred at Albion, New York. It appears that a large crowd had as sembled to see a young man cross the canal upon a .tight rope. An iron bridge near the rop e was covered with people and carriages, as that furnishe d the best position for the spectators. IV.lien the performer was just walki ng out the bridge fell with a sudden crash , carrying with it hun • dreds of .men, women, and children, and several heavy teams and carriages. The scene which followed was awful, indeed. Horses, persons, timbers, iron fragment were all hurled in a promiscuous heap int o the water. It is feared that at least 20 were killed, while a large number were very seriously injured. In this connexion we may mention that the mountebank, De Lave, on Thursday, attempted to carry a man upon his shoulders by his rope across the Genessee Falls ; when near the middle he tottered and fell, but both he and the man he carried were saved by ca tching the rope with their hands." SUPPOSED Loss OF A STEAMER IN THE CHAN NEL.—For several days much anxiety has prevailed respect ing some wreck which has been cast up on the Cornish coast, and which is believed to have formed part of a large steamer which has blown up. The schooner Devonport, Captain Ferguson, on a voyage from the Thames to Plymouth last week, fell in with some wreck off the Bolt Head, and being a, light wind, a boat was sent to examine the timbers, build, &c. It was found to be part of the main deck of a large vessel, and from appearances it was judged to have be - longod to some foreign steamer. The deck had been cap sized, and the deck beams and under part of the deck were exposed and were painted white throughout. The beams were of largo scantling, and the deck was composed of 4 or 41 inch plank, the metal spikes of which are evidently of foreign make. Lashed to the under side of the deck was an iron tiller (spare one) of nearly 5 cwt., which was brought off by the crew of the schooner ; a piece of copper or metal pipe of ten feet long and three to four inches dia meter, with a short length of cenvas hose attached to ono end, was also brought away. A large hole, supposed to be that for the funnel, was visible, and the under part of the deck in the neighbourho od had been lined with tin, as if to preeerve the wood from the heat. It had all the appear ance of being but recently in the water, no grass or weed or s lime being about it , and the p aint was quite fresh. On the following day the wreck was washed ashore at Pentewan, and Capt. Eden, R.N., of the Plymouth De.-kyard, pro ceeded to inspect it, and from his report, which has been forwarded to Lloyd's, it appears that he is of opinion that the wreck is the remains of some steamboat which appa rently had blown up ; that it is of foreign build, and had not been long in the water.

TIIE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL. Mr. Deputy HOLT presented a petition from the governor and committee of the Licensed Victuallers' School, and from the chairman, trustees, and gover nors of the LicensedVictuallers' Asylum, for the use of Guildhall, on any day after the 9th, and not later than the 18th, of November next, for the purposes of a ball in aid of the above charities." The prayer of the petition was agreed to. THE LOCAL DUES. Mr. Alderman CUBITT moved as follows, viz. : " That having regard to the early termination of the Acts of Parliament for regulating the vend and delivery of coals, and the possible earlier expiration of some of the duties now collected on coals, it is desirable that the subject should be considered by the Corn, Coal, and Finance Committee, with autho rity for them to confer thereupon with her Majesty's Government if deemed advisable, reporting from time to time to this honourable court previous to any proceedings being taken." In support of his motion, the Alderman said that portion of t he coal tax known as the " Nincpenny Tax ' would very shortly expire, and the corporation would then derive no revenue from the tax except its own fourpences. lie thought it highly desirable that the whole of the tax, as now existing, should be maintained; for the "nine pence" had been solely devoted to the accomplish ment of great metropolitan improvements ; and there were many such improvements in different quartors of the metropolis which public convenience imperatively demanded. The pressure of the tar, generally speaking, was exceedingly light, for the whole amount which fell upon the consumer did not exceed one-halfpenny per hundredweight; and, therefore, the domestic consumers could not be said to feel the tax oppressively. In fact, when the pur poses to which the tax was devoted were taken into consideration, it was impossible for any tax to fall more lightly, so far as the domestic consumer was c oncerned. With regard to the manufacturers,the tax might be regarded from a different point of view, since it might act adversely to their interests when they had to enter into competition with other manufacturers living beyond the district liable to the tax ; and there might, consequently, be some ground for acceding to a reduction in their case. The retention of the tax, however, in a modified form, he held be essential to the accomplishment of great metropolitan improvements ; and as the tax would very shcrtly fall in, he thought they should at once enter into communication with the Metropolitan Board of Works, so as to enable them, together, to get at the Od., which, would otherwise soon cease, and which, if at once actually ceased, it would be exceedingly difficult to revive. There might be other public bodies with which, also, it might be advisable to communicate ; but, at all events, he hoped the court would accede to his motion, and refer the inquiry to a committee. Mr. ABRAHAMS moved an amendment to limit the power of the committee simply to inquiry. Mr. DE JERSEY seconded the amendment. After a lengthened discussion, in the course of which several hon. members expressed, a decided disinclination to allow the committee to confer with the Government without first making a precise report to the court, Mr. Alderman CUBITT explained that delay would be dangerous, since although they were secure of their '° fourpence" until 1862, the nine penny duty had been so,public as to be likely to precipitate its extinction at least two years earlier. The charges upon it would, he said, all be defrayed within a twelvemonth, and then the ninepenny duty would necessarily fall in. There was, there fore, no time to be lost. and ' he agreed amen t d o m ; e a n n t d w th a e s e t o h p e t n t pu t fradjourned.the chair, THE SCOTCH PIG IRON TRADE.— T he number of furnaces now in blast is 120. :At the commencement of the year the total was 132.
