FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1859 If a telegram just received may be relied on, the hopes we have expressed below are fallacious. LOUIS NAPOLEON is bad enough to urge the King of SARDINIA not to allow Prince CARIGNAN to accept the Regency of the Duchies, and VICTOR EMANUEL wants courage to resist him. The in telerable despotism of our " ally" in Italy ought really to come to an end. We should be sorry to bring England into the affair by urging her to offer advice she is not prepared to sustain ; but as Louis NAPOLEON does not mean to appeal to arms about Central Italy, he has proclaimed that the field is open for diplomacy merely. If so, why should not Lord J. RUSSELL offer counter advice? Why should he not tell VICTOR EMMANUEL that this country thinks he ought to have accepted the crown of the Duchies when offered, but that the least he can do is not to drive them to desperation by refusing their last moderated proposal. England will be almost insulted before Europe if, after the repeated avowals of her wishes, Louis NAPOLEON be allowed to play the dog in the manger, in this style, with Central Italy. The States, there, would not have his worthless cousin for King; so they shall n)t have VICTOR EMMANUEL'S cousin even for Regent ! FA RINI, and FANTI, and GARIBALDI are now released from every moral obligation whatever to regard any thing but their one great object—ltalian independ ence; and it is to be hoped they will not have got their million of muskets in vain. Two new incidents of unequal importance, but both, we trust, destined to tell effectively on the side of Italian independence, have occurred within the last few days. We refer to Lord ELLENBOROUGEI'S letter, and the news which immediately followed that the Duchies and the Romagna have asked Prince CARIGNAN to accept the Regency of those States. We hail the domestic event as one of the most favourable augury. Lord ELLENBOROUGH is known all over the continent as one of the ablest of the English Conservative party, and one whose abilities always command deference even from oppo nents. He is known as the man whom, indeed, the old ladies of the India House recalled from India, be cause he was too much their superior to be endured, but who knew how to govern there, and especially knew how to select the right man for the right place ; witness his treatment of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, the conqueror of Scinde, and compare it with what he afterwards received from a regular H.E.I.C. Governor and the Company. This is the man who speaks for Italian indepen dence, and that notwithstanding his Tory predi lections for Austrian domination, which show themselves, negatively, by his not inditing a single - word ag a i ns t i t, while he does not fail to indicate his sentim•nts respecting Napoleonism. This is the man who also subscribes to put arms into the hands of the Italians and expects others to follow his example, showing that he is in earnest, and that his Toryism is of the kind which would even fight for national independence. It is re markable that two staunch Tory lords of such very different temperament, he and Lord SHAFTESBURY, have been amongst the most earnest advocates, here, of Italian independence. The latter, it may be said, chiefly cares to get Bibles into Italy—good ammunition, too, against despotim and priestcraft. Those curses of humanity have rarely survived a conflict with a free circulation and free exposition of the Sacred Volume. Let Lord ELLENBOROUGH, therefore, send his muskets, and Lord SHAFTESBURY his Bibles if they like. Tyrants and priests dread knows both. And this is the m an who, as in India, how to point in Italy also to the man for the Hour— the very man whom we designated the other dayin the same manner ; and we cannot but be gratified to find such an administrator as Lord ELLENBOROUGII so entirely concurring with us—since we regard him as possessing eminently that important fa culty for a statesman, the capacity for se lecting his servants well—his lordship says,— " There is in Italy one man who has at once a head to direct, a hand to execute, and a heart which tells him what is right. That man is GARIBALDI. Let the Italians follow where he leads, and they will at least acquire the honour which has been so long unknown to them as a people. He has no measures to observe with France. If he should obtain success, he will not consent to hold the pro vinces he liberates as a fief of the French Empire. He will not lend himself to the carrying out of the idea of the first NAPOLEON, that France should be surrounded by week dependent States." It must surely prove of the best augury for Italy that such a man should so powerfully back the sincere desires of the present Ministry for Italian freedom —desires to which we trust they will be enabled to give diplomatic effect. They will do so in proportion as such a man as GARIBALDI obtains the power "to direct, to execute, and to do what is right." A patriot army in his hands will be an argument which all the despots and diplomatists north of the Alps would rather not meet. Of course they could by combination crush him ; but it must be in a cause so infernally odious, and at such a cost of blood as well as obloquy, that they will shrink from it. GARIBALDI and a strong army is the chief hope of Italy, and Lord ELLEN BOROUGH has done something towards giving him The unanimous election of the cousin of the King of SARDINIA, Prince CARIGNAN, as Regent, till the condition of Central Italy is settled, is again a well-advised step. We can only hope that he will not, like his Royal cousin, refuse the offer. The elec tion, on the part of the States of Central Italy, must be received as the answer to the impudent letter of the Emperor of the FRENCH. Impudent, if we view it in any other light than as an honour able sequel to his folly at Villafranca. Louis NAPOLEON is, of course, a man of his word and of his oath> He has never violated either, and could not now begin to do so merely to make Sardinia I strong, when the NAPOLEON policy is, avowedly, to surround France with weak nations, among whom she may sit as a Queen. Should Prince CARIGNAN accept the offer, it will be the next best thing to actual union with Piedmont ; some even suggest that it may be, in certain aspects of the case, a better thing. That the old Italian jea lousies might revive if all the capitals but one must renounce their pretensions. We cannot say we think so. The Italians have suffered so much from dis union, they have had it so deeply burnt into their minds, that thorough union is their only hope of safety, that the present generation have well learnt that lesson. Austria and her brutalities have done that service at least, to the little states south of the Po, and north of it too. The rising generation will also learn it as a sacred maxim from their own greatest historian that dum singuli pug nant universi Vincuntur—a maxim which every father will give every son, as the first copy he shall write ; and point him to the long periods subsequent to Tacitus as its superabundant proof. Success is, we know, but too apt to divide those who were fused together in adversity, but we imagine that with the great military hosts always so near them, north of the Alps, the impending danger will al ways be such as to make union an obviously sacred duty. It certainly does appear that bold coun sels, are now the counsels for Italy. We can fully comprehend the difficulty of VICTOR EMMANUEL as an honourable Prince. He may feel that, as he owes Lombardy to the gift of France, and so far as the number of combatants go, to her arms, he can hardly retain the gift, and refuse the conditions. The world has not seen however, yet, any conditions by which he is bound to refuse the spontaneous offer of independent States. We should like to know whether, if those States hadbeen will ing to throw themselves into the arms of Austria or of France, we should have heard a breath of opposition to the offer from either power. The spontaneity of the act would have pleaded against all diplomatic arguments, and soldiers, and a fleet too, had it been France, would have been in readiness to answer all military arguments. Why, then, should Sardinia be debarred the course which the " Great Powers" would most certainly ha - ye taken, under the like circumstances ? But if the King of SARDINIA feel any reluctance either on the score of honour, or of power, Prince CARIGNAN is at least quite free from the former, and we trust nothing will in duce the King of SARDINIA to refuse his assent. It is well understood that he has not accepted the ad vice of " Sire, my cousin," and it is time for him to remember that he also is a king, an Italian king. That if others, French or German, would not have refused the proffered crown, much less ought he, who is one with those who offered them in nation ality, in language, in sentiments, and in blood. England has had reason to watch with jealousy the recent threatenings of war upon the borders of Morocco. The seat-of-war, supposing war actually to result from those threatenings, immediately con fronts our own strong fortress at the mouth of the Mediterranean. Supposing tho contest (if contest there really is to be in that particular quarter of the globe) actually commenced—it were idle to suppose that it would be a mere border struggle be tween the troops of the Spanish Queen and those of the Moorish Emperor. A far more formidlble Power than either Spain or Morocco, or both of them put together, is already directly, not in directly, but directly, involved in these transac tions. There is France, with a despotic ruler and an army of 500,000 disciplined soldiers, and a maritime armament second only to that of Britain —France who has already the grand Archimedian Standing-point in North Africa, namely, the mag nificent colony of Algeria. Were Spain and Mo rocco to come into collision upon the paltry matter of the Riff pirates—that riff-raff of the human race— the inevitable, the notorious consequence would be, that France would participate with the former in crushing the ancient power of his Imperial Majesty the Moonisii SULTAN ! And out of that combined enterprise on the part of the Franco-Spanish armies, who can say what might follow! Could the probable consequence be foretold, even by Mr. URQUIIART, the author of the " Pillars of HERCULES ?" Might it not rather be recognised, as the phrase is, with even half an eye by the veriest tyro in politics, the merest dabbler in the study of geography! Gib raltar might soon afterwards be confronted by another sphynx-like and formidable pile of fortiti cations—fortifications grimly confronting our own permanently upon the opposite shores, the African shores, of the Straits (better known as the Gut) of Gibraltar. From one of the pillars of IlimetTLEs the royal standard of England has long been flying triumphantly. Is it desirable that from the other there should speedily be unfurled the Impe rial tricolor of France, emblazoned with the Eagle Of NAPOLEON ? It is told of DOUGLAS JERROLD that when some one was exulting over the then recent arrangement of the glorious alliance between France and England, the wit observed, with a sneer,—" Glorious ? The Alliance between France and England ?—The best thing I know between France and England is—the Channel !" Even Sir CHARLES COLDSTREAM could hardly have said of this sarcastic mot that " there was nothing in it !" Whatever any of us may think, or say, or write upon the subject of the Alliance (wishing it all the while with our whole heart and soul to be last ing, and, if possible, perpetual) there is something in that witticism of JERROLD'S nevertheless ! The Channel really and truly is, after all, about the best thing there could well be—better even than the Alliance—between France and England. Granting which, as we must grant it, if we are en dowed with even the smallest modicum of the most ordinary common sense—ho'w far can it be in any way desirable that our advanced posts in Europe, the advanced posts of France and England should be divided henceforth not by the width of the Chan nel, but by the narrowness of the Gut of Gibraltar? Yet that is precisely the prospect, the possibility, the probability, we might even say, opened up to view by this threatened war between the Moors on the one side, and the French and Spanish sol diers on the other, along the borders of the olden empire of Morocco ! No wonder England has been on the alert. No wonder the noble lord, her MA JESTY'S Foreign Secretary, has felt himself con strained by the double dictates, we might rather say by the synonymous dictates of loyalty and patriotism to evidence upon this point a peculiar degree of vigilance. Because England has now, for a long period, held possession of Gibraltar—that surely is no reason why France should now be afforded the tempting opportunity of taking forcible possession of Cueta. The age of territorial spoliation, at any rate, so close at hand, is, by general agreement among the great Powers of Europe, understood to be at an end. The French Empire, according to the reigning Cmsar there, this third NAPOLEON, is—Peace ! The Crimean war to the contrary, not withstanding—the Italian war ditto—yet the ruler of France did utter those words at Bordeaux. It is well for our diplomatists to recall the occasion as often as possible to the memory of our imperial ally. It is desirable that our Foreign Minister should strive to pin the policy of onr ally, if possible, down to that implied in his own programme—if nowhere else upon the African coast, just immediately oppo , site Gibraltar. During the last two or three months we have heard through advices from that rocky fastness nothing more audibly than the rumours of war hard by it ! The Gibraltar Chronicle, if it has in timated it once, has intimated it dozens and dozens of times, under date Gibraltar, September, under date Gibraltar, October, under date Gibraltar, November, that " from the upper signal station at [such an hour] this day heavy guns were heard in the direc tion of Tangier!" Over and over again we have read the same announcement. The Rock has been continually"frighted from its propriety" by the same intermitent sounds of firing. The English people, the English Crown, the English Minister must look well to it that the threat of war there shall, if our influence can possibly prevent it, be ended, shall be crushed out and precluded from the chance of realisation. O'DONNELL may be bent upon pro moting the quarrel with a selfish view merely to the acquisition thereby of some share of military glory—but England has full and sufficient reason to baulk the Spanish up start in his ambitious designs, and to put the sincerity of the French Imperial alliance now directly to the test, if only with an eye to the main tenance of her ancient prestige, and pride, and power upon her grand rocky stronghold at the gates of the Mediterranean. r...: 4 •.-_ , , (~..:V., ' ..-.447 ; *4 • . 4. 1' r-,3, ' 4- , vb- -ct , '' -1 . - ,'!, 4P; ".;':" ,,,- ,\ ' - 1 ~.VA'', 4 : f p. sl‘ 1. .4 t --- * 4 141.: a t ":•1. 4460 , ~,.. • : 1 ,., • , l'" ..., ... •.:. 411% ..

The great ship has now been open for the recep tion of visitors for four days, but during the whole of that time not more than 1,200 persons have been on board. This may probably be accounted for from the fact that as the ship is to winter here, there is plenty of time for her inspection. Many of the gentry of the neighbourhood have been on board. O❑ Tuesday a deputation from the South ampton Club went on board and tendered the privi leges of the club to Capt. Harrison and his officers. On Monday upwards of 200 men were paid off and discharged from the ship, leaving about 100 now on board. A regular watch is maintained day and night. There are but three or four men at work on the fittings in the after saloon. The handsome glass chandeliers are now all uncovered, and are generally admired. They are manufactured of brass and electro-silvered. The cost of each chan delier was forty guineas. To-morrow there will be a board meeting of the directors of the com pany to arrange respecting the refitting of the ship, after which tenders will be advertised for ; but it is understood that Mr. Scott Russell will have no thing more to do with the ship. The arrange ments for visitors are of the best description. The cntrance to the ship is through one of the cargo port holes, close to the stern on the starboard side —an old craft belonging to the South Western Company forming the landing stage. Capt. Har rison is a general favourite with the visitors. The elegant suite of rooms which form his cabin and sleeping berth are much admired by those who have had the privilege of passing through them. The banquet which the mayor and corporation intend giving to the directors of the company in connection with that of the Chamber of Commerce will shortly take place. Mr. Magnus, one of the directors of the Great Ship Company, was at the banquet given by the new mayor on Wednesday. The mayor proposed Mr. Magnus's health, and the latter in returning thanks stated that, although he and his co-directors had not yet decided on a per manent port for their ship, Holyhead would never more be thought of by them. He recommended the Southampton people to build a graving dock for t ho Great Eastern, to ensure her sailing to and from that port in future. It appears that an enlarge ment of the Southampton Dock Company's great graving dock sufficiently to take the big ship would cost about £BO,OOO. This there are some grounds to believe the dock company would do on condition that Southamption was made the permanent port of call for the Great Eastern. The enlarged graving dock would have two entrances, one in the wet dock and the other from Southampton Water, close to the western side of the mouth of the Itchen river. Locks could be placed in the dock, by which the Great Eastern could be docked at any time, without interfering with the docking of other ships. The present steam-pumping machinery connected with the Southampton graving docks would be sufficient to pump the water from the extended dock. The present large graving dock in Southampton is already the most extensive dock in the world, and was made for the Himalaya, now no longer looked upon as a big ship, equalled in length as she is by many big ships, surpassed by the Tas mania and others, and completely dwarfed by the Great Eastern.

The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : TURIN, Nov. 10. The King Victor Emmanuel, in consequence of a very urgent representation received from the French Government, has refused to grant permis sion to the Prince de Carignan to accept the re gency of Central Italy, which has been offered to him. PARIS, Nov. 11. The Moniteur of to-day publishes a circular issued on the sth November last by Count Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the diplomatic agents of the French Government abroad, explaining the advantage of the different clauses of the treaty of peace signed at Zurich, and stating that France will not have to advance the amount of the debt due by Piedmont to Austria, but will co-operate with Piedmont in making the stipulated payment, by certain arrangements which have been agreed upon between France and Sardinia. France has demanded from Sardinia the payment of sixty millions for the expenses of the late war. The circular further announces that the Govern ment of France had received assurances that the Pope was only waiting an opportune moment to make public certain reforms by which the Govern ment of the clergy would be replaced by a Govern ment generally composed of the laity, and which should give to the country better guarantees for the administration of justice, and for the control of the public finances, by means of an Assembly elected by the people. 1 he Moniteur of today confirms the news of the signature of the three treaties, and adds that the Governments of France and Austria have agreed to promote the meeting of a Congress which will re ceive communication of the treaties of Zurich, and deliberate on the means most adapted to establish the pacification of Italy on solid and durable bases M.

" The Dead Heart," a drama of more weight and more pretension to sustained interest than has been witnessed for a long time at any theatre, was pro duced last night with distinguished success. Long beyond the ordinary measure, it is evidently built on the model of those vast plays that occupy the whole of an entire evening at the Porte Saint Mar tin or the Ambigu Comique ; its catastrophe, as well as its general complexion, will probably awaken reminiscences of "Le Chevalier de la, Maison Rouge.' But we believe that it is original in the accepted sense of the word, by which we mean that the author, Mr. Watts Phillips, has himself constructed its framework, and that there is no single foreign drama to which its origin Ca% be traced. Like many pieces of the modern French school, " The Dead Heart" commences with an act which, occurring several years before the commencement of the main story, and, as it were, preparing the spectators for what is to follow, is called by the name of " prologue," though it differs alike from the opening speech of old Greek tragedy, and from the flippant series of couplets spoken before the rise of the curtain in the last century. This " prologue' , shows us how the Count St. Valerie (Mr. Billing ton) falls in love with a Catherine Duval (Miss Woolgar), a girl of humble extraction, betrothed to Robert Landry (Mr. Webster), a young sculptor, and how the Abbe Latour, his friend and ad viser, locks up the inconvenient rival in the Bas tille, by means of that invaluable instrument, the lettre de cachet. All this takes place in 1771, but when the curtain rises for the first act we find our selves in the year 1789, when the Bastille has just fallen into the hands of the Parisian populace, who release the unfortunate sculptor after a confinement of 18 years.. The return of Robert to consciousness from a state of torpor affords room for one of those elaborate pSychological delineations in which Mr. Webster so greatly excels. When he has fully recovered his wits, he resolves to devote them to purposes of vengeance, his projected vic tims being the Abbe Latour and Arthur St. Valerie (Mr. Billington), son of the Count, who is now deceased, leaving as his widow the former Catherine Duval. The profligacy into which the young Count plunges headlong under the auspices of his Wicked adviser, the Abbe Latour, seems to afford grim delight to Robert, who loses no time in revealing himself to the anxious mother, and thwarts her attemps to save her son from ruin. In the year 1794 (the date of the second act) Robert, secure in his possession of a " dead heart," can be come more direct in his vindictive operations. He is now a leading man in the revolution, with almost absolute power over the Conciergerie, in which he holds his two victims both under sentence of death. The young Count he reserves for execution, in spite of the agonising entreaties of his mother the Coun tess. The Abbe he releases that he may delibe rately kill him in one of those single combats that were first brought into fashion by the " Corsican Brothers." However, in the course of the third act, a change is wrought in his mind by the discovery of a pocket-book, which once belonged to the slain Abbe, and which contains a letter, showing that the conduct of the deceased Count and his widow was not so reprehensible as he had imagined. His old devotion to Catherine, the beloved of his youth. return 3, and he resolves to save her son. However, the morning appointed for the execution has arrived, and his only course is to thrust the prisoner aside and to take his place in the tumbril when the muster-roll is called over. With tiie appearance of Robert on the guillotine, following the dictates of a renewed heart, and ready to lose a weary head, the entire piece concludes. The play was received with rapturous applause, and its success is brilliant and genuine. The house was crowded in every part. ALHAMBRA PALACE. Mr. M'Collum, the lessee of this popular place of amusement, who is always on the look out to pro vide attractive entertainments for his patrons, has just given a new proof of it in the engagement of Mr. James Robinson, the great American rider, who appeared for the first time last night, and was received with great applause. Mr. Robinson is undoubtedly entitled to be ranked among the most, if not the most, intrepid and ingenious of horsemen living. His dazzling and dauntless exploits per formed on the back of a swift and high-spirited steed, and without the facilities afforded by saddle and bridle—for he scorns to avail himself of either —awaken the delight and admiration of the spec tators, who might have some difficulty in crediting the possibility of such strange achievements, were they not attested by "the sensible avouch of their own eyes." The performances of the other mem bers of the company'' . are distinguished in a very remarkable degree by grace, agility, and expert ness, and the whole entertainment is arranged with regularity, dispatch, and a commendable regard to the comfort and convenience, as well as the amuse ment, of the audience. THE SCHILLER FESTSVAL AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The proceedings in connection with this centen ary festival at the Crystal Palace came off yester day with considerable eclat. The early part of the forenoon was dull and foggy, but about midday the sun broke out, and at one o'clock it was roughly calculated that there were upwards of 20,000 persons within the grounds. After a perform ance on the calliope or steam orchestra in the centre transept, and after several pieces of music had been executed by Mr. James Coward on the Handel Festival organ, the performance pro ceeded according to the programme with a march, entitled " Schiller," by Carl Gross, succeeded by an overture by Rossini. The execution of the lat ter was weak in effect, and it was very imperfectly heard. The large area in front of the orchestra in the centre transept was by this time densely crowded, and among the jostling crowd on the out skirts of the assembly for whom no sitting accom modation was available exclamations in guttural German were more frequent than in English. After the conclusion of the overture Dr. Kinkel stepped forward in front of the orchestra, and de livered an eloquent oration on the genius of Schiller, which, notwithstanding his efforts to extend his voice, was heard by a very limited number. The cantata written by Freilegrath for the occasion as a tribute to the memory of Schiller, with music by Herr Pauer, was next performed with brilliant effect, and was loudly applauded. Among the vo calists were Mademoiselle Jenny Bauer, Mademoi selle De Villar, Mademoiselle Behren, r. Wilbye Cooper, Mr. Isaacs, Mr. Hartman, &c., with chorus by the Vocal Association, conducted by MM. Bene diet and Manns. During the performance of the cantata, the colossal bust of Schiller, by Grass, which occupied the centre of the orchestra, was un veiled amid loud plaudits. The bust was adorned with evergreens, and supported on each side by two large allegorical figures supporting a lyre. Both by expression and attitude the sculptor has endea voured to convey the idea of thought ; the brows are knit, and the head is turned towards the left, as if the attention was fixed or the mind engaged. A solo on the violin was next executed by Herr Wieniawski, after which a German song, " Trauma and Gesang," was sung by the German Glee Asso ciation, to which succeeded the performance of " The Song of the Bell," with Romberg's music, to which ample justice, both in effect and in execution, was done by the powerful choir of about 1,000 male and female voices. This concluded the principal part of the musical entertainment, and all were now on the qui vice to witness the torchlight procession which the programme stated would next take place in the grounds. The upper terrace and open corri• dors as the evening set in were crowded, and shortly afterwards a few straggling torches were seen at the bottom of the grounds. So9n they opened out in view through the avenues until the spot looked as if on fire ; gradually, however, they assumed some order and moved in a circular form around the basin of one of the large fountains, each torch hav ing to the eye of the distant beholder its counter part in the water, while at length the fountains burst into play, and blue and other variegated lights were placed around them contrasting with the dusky glare of the torches. The moon also added not a little in enhancing the beauty and effect of 111 C SLE:il(^. which altogether was somewhat imposing. After the procession had mado a detour from right to left and proceeded along in front of the Palace, the principal features of the Schiller Centenary Festival, as with those of him to whom this tribute of admiration was paid, had passed from view. THE ELEC7ION OF MAYOR FOR BILVINGIfAiIf. The meeting of the Town Council for the purpose of electing a Mayor, Aldermen, Committees, and Corporate Officers for the ensuing municipal year, was held on Wed nesday, the retiring Mayor (Sir John Ratcliff) presiding. It being understood that there would be a close contest be tween the supporters of Alderman Lloyd and Aldermen Baldwin, the most strenuous efforts were made by each party to secure a majority, and the greatest excitement pre vailed throughout the proceedings. The result, after the most energetic representations of the qualifications of each candidate, terminated in favour of Mr. Alderman Lloyd, who was elected by the very unusual ma jority, on such occasions, of one vote. The Mayor Elect having signed the usual declaration, Sir John Ratcliff left the chair for his successor, who re turned thanks for the honour conferred upon him. After the election of Aldermen for the various wards, Mr. Alderman HAWKES then proposed the following highly-complimentary resolution That the thanks of this Council are due and are hereby tendered to Sir John Ratcliff, Knight, late Mayor of this borough, for the firm ness with which he has maintained the rights and privi leges of the Mayoralty, and for his great attention, uniform impartiality, and courtesy, in the discharge of the duties of his office during the present year." (Great applause.) He said, in consideration of the time which had been already occupied, he should not use many words in moving a reso tion to which he was sure every member of the Council would respond heartily. (Hoar, hear.) The resolution and calmness with which their late Mayor had maintained the rights and privileges of the Mayoralty, under circumstances of extreme difficulty, entitled him to their warmest thanks ; and, to enhance their esteem, he had only to mention the able, firm, and consistent manner in which Sir John had ever carried out their wishes. With regard to his courtesy, they had had the pleasure of meeting him for three years at ordinary meetings of thebody, at committees, and at de putations of all kinds. No one had ever filled the civic chair who had given so much time and attention to the indivi dual members of the Council and to the borough at large in the performance of duties not strictly belonging to the Mayoralty. (Cheers.) During the last three years his mind must have been well stored : almost every lecture, scientific or otherwise, every discussion, every meeting, in fact, held in the Town Hall, he had presided over. (Year.) Having got through the arduous duties of the day he did not retire to his home and his rest, but continued his la bours with the greatest patience with the desire to pro mote the various religious and social meetings of the bo rough with his influence and support. (Loud cheers.) Mr. CUTLER seconded the resolution in highly compli mentary terms. He eulogised the services rendered to the borough during the three years which Sir John Ratchiff had presided as chief magistrate, and heartily concurred with the observations made by Mr. Alderman Hawkes. Alderman ALLDAT said no one had ever fulfilled the duties of his office more faithfully and watchfully than Sir John Ratcliff. He congratulated Sir John on the high honour which had been conferred on him by her Majesty, and said he was the first man who had been knighted by royalty in Birmingham. He also congratulated the town on the fact that Sir John Ratcliff, when he first entered upon his duties, found an item of £25,000 owing by the cor poration to the Bank, and £17,000 to others, but that on his , retiring from office thene was a balance in their favour of £13,300. Formerly they were paying £1,600 a year as in terest, and now they were receiving interest—a fact sufficient in itself to show the lasting obligation Birmingham owed to Sir John Ratcliff. The resolution was most enthusiastically carried. Sir JOHN RATCLIFF, on rising to return thanks, was re ceived with loud cheers, both by the Council and the nu merous auditory. He begged to thank them for the very flattering manner in which they had been pleased to express their approval of his services 'as Mayor of the borough, and to say that when he accepted the duties of the office he did it with a determination to fulfil them to the best of his ability. (Hear.) Now at the termination of office, having received so flattering an assurance of their approbation, he felt it was one of the greatest honours that could he con ferred upon him.

On Friday last Colonel Bethlen, the Hungarian in command of the Hussars of Piacenza, assembled his newly-recruited men on the square of the Pilotta at Parma, and there addressed them in a very clever and impressive, thoroughly soldier-like speech. He reminded the soldiers that in the years 1848-9 many Italians fought under Gorgey and Klapka in the Hungarian ranks, in the common cause of national independence against Austrian tyranny; he said it was now their turn (his, the Colonel's, and that of several other officers commanding the same corps) to requite the Italians, by giving their life for the cause of Italy. He told them that every vic tory obtained in behalf of their country was equally , a triumph for his own Fatherland ; and that, there fore, they should look upon him and uuon his coun trymen in their ranks as not only comrades but brethren. Most assuredly Austria has to struggle against difficulties which no foresight on her part could obviate—difficulties of „her own creation. The very perfection of her military organisa tion turns against her. The Italians never, by their unaided efforts, could have succeeded in giving any body of cavalry such a rapid and effi cient organisation as those 1,200 Piedmontese Hus sars are sure to receive at the hands of these Hun garian exiles—men whose consummate ability and thorough experience will be stirred to the utmost exertion by their hatred of their country's oppres sors and their zeal for that Italian emancipation which they look upon as the prologue of that Eu ropean drama which they think must lead to their own enfranchisement. AMERICA. LIVE,RPOQL, THURSDAY EVEN' Yr.. The screw steamer Vigo, with the United States' mails for New York, arrived at Queenstown at 12.30 p.m., and after embarking passengers and mails, proceeded at 1 p.m. BANQUET TO SIR JOHN RATCLIFF. On the same evening a grand banquet was given to Sir John Ratcliff, at Dee's Royal Hotel, at which the Earl of Lichfield, the Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, M.P., the whole of the corporate officers, Colonel Harrison, Captains Cun ningham, Erskine, and other officers of the 11th Hussars, and most of the leading men in Birmingham, attended. After the usual loyal toasts had been disposed of, The MAYOR rose to propose that which, he said, might be called the toast of the evening, viz., " Health, prosperity, and long life to their guest, Sir John Ratcliff. (Enthusi astic applause.) Sir John Ratcliff had enjoyed the unprece dented honour of being elected Mayor of Birmingham for three successive years, and seeing that the corporation was the representative of the town, it was not for any one to say that the choice thus made by the Council was not that of the town itself. (Cheers.) Sir John had been the head of the town in years of great importance and considerable diffi culty. There could bo no doubt that Birmingham owed to their guest many honours it never previously enjoyed— through him they had been presented at Court. (Hoar.) Sir John had been honoured by a personal visit from the Duke of Cambridge; afterwards they had the great honour of the presence of her Majesty amongst them—(cheers) — and the Queen loft behind her the impress of her presence in the shape of an honour which she considered the Mayor of this town well deserved. (Great applause.) Not only had Sir John Ratcliff pre sented Birmingham at Court, but during his mayoralty he had presided over some of the most important meetings held in the kingdom during the past three years. The inaugu ration of the Social Science Association was not the least of these, and that Sir John Ratcliff should have been able to give satisfaction to all on such occasions was as flattering to the town as it was an honour to himself. (Cheers.) His munificence upon all occasions, whether in the most un bounded hospitality or in works of charity, had been great and unexampled, and would long be a noble example to his fel low-townsmen. (Cheers.) To his industry all then present could bear the most unquestioned testimony ; no Mayor in this or any other town could have been more constant or assiduous in the discharge of his duties. (Cheers.) His great object had been to promote the prosperity of the town, and now that Sir John was leaving office he hoped that his successors in the mayoralty would endeavour to imitate his devotion to the interests of the community amongst whom he lived. (Much applause.) The Mayor concluded by pro , posing the health of Sir John Ratcliff, and the toast was ' drunk most enthusiastically. Sir JOHN RATCLIFF, on rising, was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering. He said the very kind manner in which they had been pleased to receive him seemed for a moment to overcome his feelings, and to render him unable to give full expression to them in response. This evening, however, would be one of the happiest of his life. In it he had received a token of their approval of his conduct during the time he had held office ; and while he possessed that approval, and could rest satisfied that at the termina tion of his lengthened period of office he had carried with him the respect of those over whom he had had the honour to preside, he had nothing further to care for or to desire. (Applause.) In departing from that important, and ho would add, very important position, the occupancy of the chair of this large borough, he could not help saying that he did so with a feeling of gratification and pride, and ever, while he had the good feeling of his fellow-townsmen to uphold him, the approval and respect of that important body over whom he had lately presided to support him, and the remembrance of the kind manner in which they had ex pressed their approval of his services that night to cheer him, he cared not for the labour and exertion he had un dergone. (Cheers.) If there was anything that could make a man proud of his native town—if there was any reward that could recompense the labour of a three years' care of this important borough—if there was anything that was worth a man's living or caring for— if there was anything desirable on this earth, it was all con centrated in the reception he had that night received. If there were anything wanting to stimulate a man to do his duty, if there were anything a man could hope for to help him in the performance of that duty, he had received it at their hands. He should treasure the remembrance of it while life lasted and memory held her seat. (Applause.) He felt that, from the overpowering feelings which oppressed him, he could not give adequate expression to all he could desire to say. So long as he lived the reception he had re ceived would dwell prominently in his mind, and they might depend upon his faithfully, diligently, and carefully discharging any trust or duties he might be called upon to perform for the borough over which he had for three years presided. (Prolonged cheering, which continued for several minutes. The evening was one of great enjoyment, and will long be remembered at Birmingham. NEW MAYORS.
