THE SUN. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1859 There is a story told, if we remember rightly, of Winiam PITT, when Prime Minister of England. It is to the effect, that when one of his constituents, accompanied by his stripling son, waited one day upon the great minister with a view to obtain his patronage in favour of the boy, so as to afford him at onto an advantageous start in life, the Right Hon. Gentleman after listening apparently with con siderable interest to the application, and remaining for a moment seemingly in deep thought when it was finished, put to the father the inquiry--" Does your son know Spanish 9" "No." " Ah, that is unfortunate—for in the other event, had he known Spanish, I might have— However, it is no use talking about it now—the deficiency presents an insuperable difficulty." And so—after a few minutes' further converse upon other subjects, the important interview is terminated with no step gained in any way in advance—no prospect even before the father of his son's eventu ally obtaining an appointment. . . . Eight or ten months having elapsed after this trivial inci dent, the same ingenious place-hunters (one of them sufficiently ingenu - ous)—arcades ambo— obtain a second interview with Mr. PITT, still as long pre viously and long afterwards First Lord of the Treasury. The countenances of father and son beam with satisfaction. Mr. PITT is informed that the youth has studied hard during the interval, and that he knows Spanish, and knows it, moreover, very creditably. "In that case," so runs and ends the anecdote, "in that case," observes the Premier, • striding to another part of his library, and return ing with a copy of Don Quixote, and - placing • the work in the hands of the stripling, " in that case, you will have peculiar enjoyment in reading the masterpiece of CERVANTES—hI the original !" The Right Honourable Gentleman the Leader of Her MAJESTY'S Opposition, although none . the less powerfully impressed in his own mind with a conviction that knowledge is, indeed, its own reward, has a less caustic way of "enforcing the conviction of that wholesome truth upon the judgments of the more youthful class of aspirants. He speaks to them in terms fraught with generous encouragement. He urges upon them the belief that life is not a lottery, that life is rather, it should be said, a science, that every man has his opportunity, and that what they have really and seriously to do is so to prepare them selves for the coming of that opportunity, that when it does come (as come, says he, it inevitably 'via and must for the majority) they may be capable of availing themselves of it. So abounding with noble incentives to hope and to exertiz.n in every sentence is this thoughtful and impressive harangue of Mr. DISRAELI'S that we • - would most earnestly commend the perusal of it and the study of it, to the more youthful among the energetic members of every mechanics' institute in the land—certain that the advice it inculcates will tend directly and practically to their advantage. It will be found 'lra extenso in another part of our pression of this evening—this important address delivered by the member for Buckinghamshire as chairman of a monster meeting in the Free-Trade Hall, at Manchester. The meeting itself being convened there on Tuesday for the distribution of the prizes awarded by the Institutional Associa tion of Cheshire and Lancashire. And the address itself being an apropos oration upon the kindred themes of Mechanics' Institutes, of the prospects of National Education, and of the principle and machinery, the especial advantages of the newly inaugurated system of competitive examina tions. Mr. DISRAELI wisely conceives that the best possible means of securing the bene fits of National Education is for the people as much as possible to educate them selves. The State may then come in as an aux iliary. Aide toi et Dieu t'aidera, says the old pro verb, and so might it be reasonably said upon this matter, in regard to the relations existing between the powers that be and the general mass of the population. Help yourselves and the Government will help you. To: hich end the Mechanics' In stitutes afford the happiest means and the most suitable opportunity. Hitherto the right hon. gen tleman frankly declares that those institu tions have :not fully realised the general ex pectations. And this, in a great measure, from their isolation one from another, and their consequent lack of that all-essential gift—Experience. Be sides experience, they have heretofore, he argues, been seriously, wanting in emulation. Added to which there has been an obv:ous deficiency of energy in their general organisation. " Within these few years," however, he goes on to remark, " a very great change has taken place, and I attri bute that change. to the recognition on the part of the people of this country, that there was a defi ciency of those qualities of experience, emulation, and energy which I have referred to." There upon, in vivid illustration of this, he points attention to the character of the institution resulting in that very monster meeting at that moment on Tuesday last addressed by him in the Free Trade Hall at Manchester. " These," said Mr. DISRAELI, " are facts. There are at this moment more, considerably more, than a hundred institutions in Lancashire and Cheshire that are in unity together, and which act in unison with a central guiding association. They number 22,000 members ; of these 22,000 members, 8,500 are in habitual attendance upon the evening classes of these institutions. Of those 8,500 members, up wards of 1,200 have voluntarily come forward, and challenged all difficulties and all the tests of a com petitive examination. Those 1,200 have been exa mined by a committee of the central association, a committee of scholars ; they have undergone a legal examination, an examination in each of the phases of their particular interest and connection, and out of this between 400 and 500 have been selected as compe tent to encounter an examination, which I sincerely say, after having examined the papers which were submitted to them, is an examination which no man 'could have encountered who had not taken great pains to train his intellect and to acquire consider able knowledge." Nor is this enough for his argu ment. He gees on immediately to add—" Well, who are the men who have done this ? What is the class that has given 8,500 scholars to the even ing classes that have supplied this great body of spontaneous competitors in a severe examination — that have given the select body of 500 who have challenged, and one-fifth of whom have gained, the sanction of men of considerable acquirement and weight—their sanction as having gone through a process which none but men of a scholarly feeling and of considerable strength of character and dis position could have encountered ? Can they say now that they are not working men ? Why, have looked over the lists of those who have ob tained what we may call the first-class certificate in many of those branches in which they have been examined. I remember that in algebra, that in mensuration, that in geography, that in arithmetic, and in history, first-class certificates have been obtained after a most severe and scientific exami nation, and by whom have they been obtained ? They have been obtained by boys, by youths, all of them under 20 years of age. The first-class certi ficate in algebra, I observe, is obtained by a boy of 15 years, who obtained, by the bye, a second-class certificate, I think, in arithmetic—but a boy of 15, working in a factory for ss. a week. Who are these men now to whom I am to have the high honour to•night of offering these recognitions of their labours and their merit ? Why, they are factory operatives in all the various classes of that branch of labour ; there are weavers, there are mill minders, and piecers, there is every class of factory labour represented." These are (indeed) facts—and theyare facts full of the most heartening, the most in spiriting encouragement. The right hon. gentleman, who enforced the significance of them so powerfully on Tuesday, at Manchester, had peculiar reason, it appears to us, in the very act of enforcing them, to insist upon it that Life is more of a game than of a lottery, and to warn his hearers that they should prepare themselves betimes for the opportu nity that would assuredly come to each in due sea son. It is the thought already nobly ex pressed by that all-wise and all-comprehend ing SIIAKSPERE—that thought " familiar in our mouths as household words"— to wit " There is a tide in the affairs of man which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." It is the "oppor tunity" of which Mr. DISRAELI spoke on Tuesday —the invariable, inevitable opportunity in relation to which he said whimsically, but with peculiar force, " I have found that if a man has a head upon his shoulders, whether he lives in Lancashire or whether he lives in Buckinghamshire, he generally gets on in the world." No wonder the monster meeting on Tuesday, in that Free Trade Hall, at Manchester, rang, at these words, with mingled cheers and laughter. For .England contains not any more striking illustration of the capacity that seizes the opportunity, than that afforded by the genius, the career, and the position of the right lion. gentleman himself—Statesman and man of letters, orator and administrator, M.P. for Buckingham shire, and leader in the house of Commons of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. We notice in the Norfolk News an account of certain clauses to be suggested for adoption in the forthcoming Government Reform Bill. The un questionable and disgraceful bribery at the late general election in the city, induced the Radicals to take up the subject of bribery in good earnest, that party having always in Norwich been decidedly opposed to it. The Whigs and Tories, it would seem, for shame's sake, could not refuse to do something, and hence, we believe, the appointment of a com mittee to consider the subject of bribing at both Parliamentary and municipal elections was agreed to. In regard to the municipal elections immediate action was of course necessary ; they were at hand, and the bribery at them, as in the case of Glou cester, is only second to that practised at elections of members for Parliament. The pror,osal was that each member of the council prior to the municipal election should sign a declaration to abstain not only from all bribery and illegal prac tices, but also from canvassing and that he would abide by the decision of umpires named in the declaration, as to whether the pledge had been fairly carried out, engaging to resign his seat should . the decision be against him. It appears that 37 members of the council dared not agree to the pledge, as implied by their silence ; .that 16 were willing to take it, and that 7 were "not content." So ended the attempt at " preven tion of corrupt practices" by voluntary agreement. There can be no doubt that the old Cathedral city, THE SUN, LONDON, - IHITRSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1869, like most of its class, is too demoralised to reform except by compulsion. The recommendations which, after being duly canvassed in Norwich, are, we suppose, to be for warded to Lord JOHN RUSSELL to aid him in his task, are principally three—to prohibit canvassing ; to provide voting-papers, which are to be so de livered on the day of election that the state of the poll shall not be known till after its completion ; and the payment of all election charges out of the county rate. It is also proposed that petitioning against returns shall be the duty of the returning officer, who . is to adver tise a reward of £25 to persons who will disclose cases of bribery. Severe penalties to follow in fringement of the provisions of the Act. The proposals are, it will be seen, directed almost exclusively against the lowest, but not the most widely spread form of corruption—against bribery. This was natural in a city like Norwich or Glouces ter. The corruption which has assimilated the counties, politically, to the American Slave States, would be untouched by these schemes. The worst effects of slavery are justly said to be seen, when men can be contented and merry in their bondage. The degradation of the man is com plete when he makes no sign that he desires free dom. It is thus, to a great extent over the broad acres of our country. The farmers, a class of men well worthy of political liberty, abounding in strong natural sense, and becoming better instructed every day,—this vast class slumbers in hopeless bondage. Liberty is forgotten. The farmer would sing in his chains, were he not a born grumbler. The cor ruption of landlord control works without resist ance, for resistance means starvation. It works indeed almost without noise or friction. In corrupt old city constituencies the worst bri bery " is often practised within the last hour or two. The undecided," if they think things will run close, always hold off till then. This is, of course, the reason for putting the votes into a ballot box to be opened after all the votes are received. It is ob vious that while this plan may have the advantage intended, it will be little check against the _previous purchase of the voter. He will not take out the vot ing paper till he has had his fee. He can then giv e his receipt far it—the thing which a secret Ballot alone would prevent, by destroying confidence between corruptor and corrupted. Two principal checks are still left, the candidate is to to have no pretext for spending money ; and a reward is to be offered to informers. The reward is less than was paid for voters at Wake field ; in such cases no man would kill, by in forming, the goose which laid the golden eggs. Votes generally cost, it is true, much less than £25 —still what with the infamy of turning informer, and the prospect of repeated bribes, £25 would rarely induce the bribee to inform against the briber. The proposal is, however, a good one, but Lord BROUGHAM'S, to make bribery felony would go further to settle the business. As to relieving the candidate of expenses, unless it were done, after nomination by some hundred or more electors, it would embarrass, we should think, the election, by a number of upstart candidates who would have no title to nominate them selves. We like nomination .in some form. We like too the hustings. As to the prohibition of canvassing, it is desirable, were it practicable. We fear, what indeed the discussion in the Corporation illustrated, the impossibility of legally defining canvassing. To us it appears that all sincere Reformers will be driven to the Ballot. They are indeed, now, almost universally, favourable to it ; but they think they cannot carry it. Many arc no doubt also a little intimidated by the cant exclamations of those who profit by open voting. We beg, however, to remind all who really desire free and independent elec tions, Ist, that the Ballot is the method always resorted to by respectable directors of companies, clubs, and even dissenting churches, when they wish for a perfectly independent election. 2dly. That it may be added to all the other plans. Bribery may still be made felony. Candidates may still make declarations at the poll or in the House of Commons. If the bribed or the personated, &c., are proved, under the ballot, to be sufficient to have turned the election, a new one can be ordered. The ballot is compatible with all the laws we please against corruption, though it would leave, we are persuaded, but little need for them. idly. The ballot alone protects the poor, and the dependent, against the intimidating class, the most cruel bribers of all; it even protects the poor man against the tyranny of his own class. In short we know of no plan which can supersede the simple, old fashioned, but efficient one of absolutely secret voting. We find that in Australia it has abolished canvassing al ready, and even made it dangerous for a candidate to attempt it. We are pleased to see Reformers at work in any way, but they will find no substitute for the Ballot. orders, is said to have again resigned his office ; and, at any rate, Garibaldi addresses the Romagnese divisions as authoritatively as if they and all the troops of Central Italy were as much under his com mand as is the Tuscan division. Garibaldi elec trifies the soldiers with the announcement of immi nent hostilities. His programme is as simple and conclusive as the schemes of French and Austrian diplomacy are crooked and contradictory. If we sum up all the pro and contra--if we consider what Italy has to expect from goaded Austria, from treacherous France, and from perplexed and inac tive England—l repeat, it must seem to every generous-minded Italian that safety is only to be found in the rashest and most irretrievable. step. If the Neapolitans are still the men of Velletri, the men to lease their King in the lurch either from disaffection or arrant cowardice, it is clear that the road to An cona, Arcoli, and Naples is open to Garibaldi. By a fortnight's march the southern kingdom has in variably been conquered by all manner of invaders from the days of King Manfred of Swabia to those of King Ferdinand IV. of Bourbon. By a fort night's march Garibaldi secures the help of 9,000,000 of Italians to the national cause. Unquestionably the stake is high, and all may be lost in the event of defeat; but all seems to me lost at all events. The Government of the States of Central Italy, and even of Piedmont, is in young incapable hands. It would be a great blessing, I believe, if Garibaldi would begin his operations against the enemy by turning doting dictators, drivelling Ministers, and pedantic State Secretaries adrift, as Bonaparte did in 1799, when he by a necessary coup d'etat rid himself of the avocats. Garibaldi at the head of all civil andmilitary powers in Central Italy, the King asDictator in Northern Italy, with Cavour as his sole Minister, and Cialdini as his sole general— such is, perhaps, the only arrangement that could bring Italy out of her present throes. Garibaldi sees too clearly that the volunteers of the Romagnese and other Central Italian divisions are not to be kept to their standards without the prospect of striking some great, decisive blow before the winter sets in. What desperate course ought not Italy to venture upon, sooner than allow these half-disci plined troops to disband, and enable thus even the paltry Papal and Ducal mercenaries to march into Bologna, Modena, and Florence with flying colours ? The 10 or 12 individuals who had been arrested as implicated in a reactionary plot three or four days ago in Florence, have been quietly set at liberty. One of them, Busi, the Republican secre tary of Montanelli in 1849, was seen freely walking about the streets of this town the other day. Most of the others are certainly at large, and only some doubt arises as to the release of Andreozzi, Guerrazzi's republican agent in 1848, who is now charged with plotting with the friends of the Lor raine dynasty. There must surely have been in considerate haste either in the arrest of these men or in their dismissal. The effect of which measures among the people here is highly unfavourable, and the state of public anxiety is evidenced by the funds, which have suffered a severe fall for the last 14 days, without any external or internal ostensible reason. I have often entertained you with my strictures on the want of energy evinced by the Tuscan Go vernment in the promotion of the national arma ment. The simple fact that no horses are provided for the Tuscan squadrons now forming at Florence, while excellent cattle is purchased in the Grand Duchy on reasonable terms, by purveyors charged with the mission to mount the 1,000 hussars of Piacenza, sufficiently bears me out in my asser tions. This poor fiddling-faddling Tuscan Govern ment seems only, in these warlike times, bent on developing its energies in the arts of peace. The scheme for the erection of monumental works put forth for the welfare of distressed artists, was so far from being called for by present exigencies, that the deree to that effect fell dead and unnoticed by the persons it was to benefit ; and it had to be followed up by an official appeal of the Government to the artists themselves, inciting them to lay aside their modesty, and to come forward and avail themselves of the public bounty by bidding for the works. The commission for the drainage of the Marerame, appointed at a very early period after the 27th of April, has already long since reported on their long and accurate study of the subject made on the spot; and yet, as late as yesterday, we have a urize of 1,500 f. offered is the author of the best essay on the draining of those same incurable marshes. On the same principle, after working very hard at the reformation and extra vagant endowment of the two Universities of the Gland Duchy, at Pisa and Sienna, till Tuscany had more professors than students, our rulers here are now—think of it, at this very crisis—busy at the organisation of a High School in the capital, which, under another name, is to become a third Tuscan University, and the greatest of all. They are de termined, they say, that Florence is once more to be " the Athens of Italy," and, oddly enough, the Ministers of Parma are equally busy vindicating that proud title for their city. It is painful to think that Italy should have so many " Athenses," when she is so sorely in need of Spartans or Thebans. The Lombard 13ceotians and the Subalpine Mace donians are also beginning to squabble for pre eminence in a State which as yet rests on far from safe bases. They find it difficult to reconcile local interests with the well-being of a cen tralised State. The Milanese have raised a loud outcry at the removal of the Mint, the Monte Lombardo, and other metropolitan institutions, which had their seat within their walls under the Austrian domination, and which the Sardinian Go vernment proposed, or was supposed to contemplate, removing to Turin. To gratify the new subjects the Royal Mint, the tobacco manufactory, and the Supreme Court of Cassation are to be established at Milan, not without deep murmurs on the part of the old subjects, who considered the loss of the Su preme Court as a very severe blow. Hints are also thrown out that the King will hold his Court alternately at Turin and Milan, all measures which bid fair to discrown the subalpine capital in a few years. The feeble men at the helm of a State which was with difficulty held by Cavour are evidently crushed by the overwhelming mass of business brought upon them by the annexation of a province hardly inferior to the hereditary domi nions in extent and more than equal in wealth and importance. Miglietti, the Minister of Grace and Justice, the ablest of the lot, has withdrawn into private life ; the others are evidently irresolute and discordant ; and even the strong, although narrow-minded, Della Marmora seems to have lost that peculiar aptness for military organiza tion which made the army the keystone of the Piedmontese edifice during the most difficult and calamitous crises. Of the new Lombard brigades that were to be added to the fine Subalpine Corps hardly a few hundred men are as yet under arms. Time and money are lost in petty paltry alterations of the collars, cuffs, and facings of the infantry uni forms ; and more of both is to be squandered in spoiling four of the very best regiments of Lancers to convert them into four regiments of useless, cum brous Cuirassiers. A greater proof of madness than this scheme exhibits could be given by no living man. Austria has 14 regiments of Cuirassiers in her pay, yet she never sent one man with a steel corset on his back into Italy since she first won the Lombardo•Venetian kingdom in 1841. The nature of that Lombard country is such that only the very lightest cavalry can be of the bast use—and even that of no great use. The soil and climate render the wearing of heavy armour an impossibility, both in the great heats and in the rainy season, and the Government must look out for new horses and men, as neither the troopers nor the chargers of the four regiments above-mentioned arc equal to the task appointed for film. These internal disorders, the fear of mutiny and desertion among the impatient volunteers, and the dread of plots and conspiracies among the reac tionary parties, who gain fresh boldness and enter prize in the same measure as the hopes of the patriots pale in sight of serious foreign difficulties, make the" croakers," to whom I perhaps too often listen, look rather blank OR the present prospect of , Italian affairs. Were the foreign part of the ques tion favourably solved, and the annexation of Cen tral to Northern Italy allowed and recognized by the great European Powers, nothing would be easier for the Sardinian Government and the patriots strongly attached to the scheme of union, than to overawe all adverse faction, and to organize the army nd the State on firm ground. On the other hand, were the Italians, at least the well-meaning Italians, all of one mind, and were men of proper energy and determination to take the lead of public affairs, the national cause would laugh Villafranca, Zurich, and even Brussels to scorn ; it would not only triumph over such enemies as the banished Dukes, the Pope, and the King of Naples, without striking more than one blow, but it would also by the unanimous will of 12 000,000 if not be able to overcome all the might of France and Austria on the field, at least have strength to wear out both those and all other external foes, and to win friends wherever there be hearts that beat for the most sacred principles of justice and freedom. LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. lleuter's office • FLORENCE, Nov. 2. The elections of the members of the municipality at Florence, and other places in Tuscany, have terminated without ajy result, on account of almost all the electors having abstained from voting. The National Assembly has been convoked for the ith November. MARSEILLES, NOv. 2. Advices from Constantinople of the 2Gth ult. state that the new Grand Vizier insisted, in the first place, that the eulprits in the late conspiracy should not be executed. To this the Sultan has readily given his consent. The sympathies of the population continte to be in favour of the accused. The Grand Vizier remands complete reforms, and wishes that the chief religious dignitaries shall contribute largely :o the public taxes, and that the Sultan shall sacrifice one-third of his own revenue. The Grand Vizier having met with resistance to these measures among his colleagues, a modifica tion of the Ministry will therefore take place. It is stated that Ethem Pasha will succeed Fuad Pasha. The Chief of th. General Staff, Riza Pasha, has been banished. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. The heavy gales that have been blowing for the last 24 hours have interrupted the communications between the French and English coasts, the weather being so boisterous that the packets have been un able to put to sea. Our London letters and papers of yesterday have consequently failed to reach us. A private letter of the 31st of October from San Sebastian states that early in the morning of the 29th three steamers arrived at that port to take troops for Africa. At 9 o'clock they began putting the baggage on board, and a portion of the troops. At 3 in the afternoon two battalions of the Toledo Regiment, with full bands at their head, and colours flying, marched to the quay, where boats were wait ing to convey them to the ships. In about a quar ter of an hour, however, they marched back again to their barracks, being prevented from embarking by a tremendous gale of wind which suddenly rose. During the storm a boat, carrying three small brass guns, was capsized, and the guns went to the bottom. No life was lost ; the boat went on shore. To embark the horses of the cavalry was, of course, out of the question. One poor soldier was crushed to death between the boat and the steamer, and another so injared as to require amputation. Though the weather was so boisterous the Spanish merchant steamer Rita, manned by Biscayans, and which had about 300 of the troops on board, stood out to sea ; and, while people thought she was making for the harbour of Passages, which is hardly three miles distant, sailed away on her desti nation. On the 30th, seeing the difficulty, and even the danger, of attempting to embark at San Sebas tian, it was decided that the troops should proceed to Passages, and there go on board. The steamers went there at once; but instead of embarking, as ex pected, the troops had rations brought them from San Sebastian (for they could get nothing at Pas sages), and were billited for the night in the houses in the town. Various causes were assigned for the delay ; one was, that the troops were not provided with water. This is absurd, for the water is both plentiful and good at Passages. The men and offi cers got leave to go to San Sebastian to amuse themselves, or buy whatever necessaries they wanted; but though on the 31st (the date of the letter) the weather was fine and the wind favour able, they had not yet left Passages. Oa the 29th a chassemaree, laden with coals from the Asturias, was driven ashore at San Sebas. tian. A few days back the Delegates of the Provincial Deputations of the three Basque Provinces, Biscay, Guipuzcoa, and Alava, met at Victoria, the capital of the last named. The object was to discuss a pro position made by a member of the Guipuzcoan deputation for the creation of a legion of Basques, to be equipped and paid by their native provinces, and to be officered by Basques. The ancient fueros of Biscay specifies that whenever war is made against the Moors the Basque Provinces shall send a force, at their own cost and without any burden to the Crown of Castile, to fight against the Infidel. Echague, who commands one of the divisions of the expeditionary army, is a native of San Sebastian, capital of Guipuzcoa, and a Basque pur sang. It is said that the interview between the King of Sardinia and General Garibaldi, which various tele grams have announced, was not the most satisfac tory. According to this account Garibaldi declared frankly to the King that Italy was betrayed, and that he should put himself at the head of the revo lution ; and that Victor Emmanuel replied that he hoped that he would not commit such an absurdity, but that if he did so, there was no alternative but to employ force to prevent it. It is also again stated that the French Government has received favour able despatches from the Duke de Grammont at Rome, and that the Holy Father had announced to the Duke that after the insurgents in the Romagna have returned to their allegiance, which he pre sumes they will do after the restoration of the Grand Dukes, he will readily grant all the reforms recommended by the Emperor Napoleon.

TUSCANY. (From a Correspondent of the Times.) FLORENCE, OCT. 28. The clouds are gathering and lowering all round about us. The news of the arrest of the Bishop of Rimini receives full confirmation to-day. The telegram adds the intelligence of a very numerous emigration of the clergy from the Romagna. It is evident that the tidings of the Peace at Zurich have roused the passions of the multitude in the Legations to their utmost pitch, and the priests are afraid of the violence of that popular fury which they have so long provoked, and which the tem porising and hopeful policy of the Moderate party had with the greatest difficulfy kept under restraint. We hear from the same sources that the advanced posts of the Papal troops and of the revolutionary forces are in presence, and a collision is hourly looked for. I am in a condition to add the undoubted infor mation that the Tuscan Government have ex pressed their regret that they ever thought of ap pointing General Garibaldi t:i the comm Ind of their troops. They live in constant apprehension that that brave and generous man may cut with the cwwni will sword the ceknotrtainly eo w n condition l c h ob re all it h able t m ate to loosen. Romagna, a ipl o a m n da To of oof tthle, Europe es ear who y a t i s o s n e m a d t h a e t n t h o e s t f d r frontier of a te resolutions La tuanpqpueeas appear the safest. General Mezzacapo, whose strict nhoatdioinnsdiosfpodsiescdiptlhienem, minds cold, the ld,reserved manners, troops under his PRINCESS'S THEATRE. Last night a three-act drama, from the French, by Mr. Falconer, entitled " The Master Passion, or the Outlaws of the Adriatic," was produced at this theatre and met with perfect success. The plot is laid in Venice, and the period the reign of the Council of Ten. " The Master Passion" alludes to the hate engendered from the hereditary feud of the Orseoli and Falieri. Galieno Faliero, rt success ful soldier, is denied the justice he demands from the Seigneury, through the inimical influence of the all-powerful Giovani Orseolo, whose daughter Olympia (Miss C. Leclercq) he loves. In his resentment Galieno joins the Uscoque out laws of the Adriatic, and wages successful war upon the Republic. He is followed by Morosina (Mrs. Charles Young), a courtesan, who had been previously employed as a spy upon his actions, but who becomes madly enamoured of her proposed victim, and 'so contrives to share his fortune as a kind of piratical Helen M‘Gregor. Olympia is taken among many other prisoners by the Usco ques, and brought to Segna, their fortress on the Adriatic, from whence she is sent back in freedom by the generous Galieno, otherwise the " Black Captain." Galieno and" the trash of Venice" return to that city for no particular reason that we can adduce at present, except to fall into the hands of their ruthless foes, the redoubtable Ten, and their arch-minister, the wily Orseolo. The story here becomes a little complicated. However, on the death of Orseolo, Galieno weds the lovely Olympia, and Morosina retires to a convent to repent her ill starred passion, The character of Galieno Faliero was sustained by Mr. Melville, who made the best of a not very effective part ; while Mr. Ryder enacted that of Giovani Orseolo with his accustomed ability. Mrs. 'Young's Morosina invested the part with all that natural pathos for which she is celebrated, and Miss Leclercq, as Olympia, was as stagy and mechanical as ever. Too much praise canot be awarded to Mr. Harris for the care with which the piece has been put upon the stage. The scenery was magnificent, and the dresses and decorations brilliant beyond description. The house was crowded in every part long before the rising of the curtain. His Excellency the Prussian Minister and the Countess de Bernstorff arrived at Prussia House on Tues day afternoon, from visiting Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, at Broadlands. His excellency and the coun tess have since left town on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, at Hatfield House. His Excellency the Minister for the Netherlands has loft town on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, at Hatfield House. THE SCHILLER FESTIVAL. The German papers teem with the preparations for the Schiller Festival. We take the following items from them : MUNICH, OcT 17. The Schiller Committee has been holding daily sittings. The celebration here will be on a grand scale. Dr. Bodenstedt is entrusted with the gene ral arrangements. An ' apotheosis' of Schiller is the ground-work of the plan. The Odeons' saal (one of the finest concert-rooms in Europe) will, it is thought, not be large enough, and the musical performance will take place in the Opera•house." A letter from Marbach says Schiller's house was purchased this spring by the committee for 4,000f1. 0'400), and is actually undergoing the necessary repairs, and is being re stored to the state it was in when Schiller lived there. In Saxony 20,000 dols. have been subscribed. At Berlin a torch-light procession was proposed on the eve of the festival, but objected to by the Police Director and by Count Schwerin. " Wilhelm Tell" is to be given on the 1 lih at the Opera-house. At Vienna a torch procession is allowed, and the festivities will be on a grand scale. The King of Hanover has subscribed 200 dols. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING. The screw steamer City of Washington, with the United States' mails from New York to the 22d ult., arrived at Queenstown last evening. She brings 1,074,653 dols. in specie. She experienced heavy weather. On the 22d ult. passed the Napier and Logan, bound for New York. AND CHINA EAST INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING. The Ceylon, Capt. Evans, bringing these mails passed Hurst at 10.15 a.m. THE WRECK OF TILE ROYAL CHARTER MOELFRA, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. Four more bodies, all males, have been cast ashore since my communication of yesterday ' • one last night, and three this morning. Three of them are now lying in the parish church of Llanaltgo ; the remaining body has been removed to the church of Penrhoslligny, having been thrown ashore in the latter parish. All yesterday evening a very heavy sea rolled, and about four o'clo c k the life-boat, manned by a crew of eight, put out to rescue those on board a brigantine, which was observed to be rapidly approaching the rocks a little to the north of the spot in Dullas Bay, in which the wreck of the Royal Charter lies. Tho brigantine, however, got safely in on the sands in a little creek about a mile from Moelfra, where she now lies. She proves to be the Marsa, of Barrow. She was bound with a cargo of iron ore to some English port. She fell foul of another vessel, and was somewhat injured by the encounter. She afterwards touched a rock, and the crew got on shore. They afterwards re-embarked, and got her in safety to the before-mentioned creek. As the waves beat violently in on the Dullas Rocks last evening, large quantities of clothing were to be seen tossing about. Some of it was cast ashore, but a great deal of it was carried out to s.ea again. It has been suggested by some of the relatives of the drowned passengers and seamen that if boats were sent out many more bodies would be recovered. I think this very likely after what I have witnessed with respect to the action of the waves with respect to the clothing and spars. The Rev. Mr. Hughes is about to take the matter in hand. There has been some objection on the part of the authorities, as they apprehend that theft might be committed by some of the persons going out in the boats ; but if rumour speaks truly, the watchers themselves require watching. It is unfair to make charges against men having a responsible duty to perform; and one of the police inspectors has told me that he himself caught a coastguardman in the act of thieving. Friends and relatives complain 'that there is more anxiety to discover gold than bodies, but the fact is, no gold has as yet been discovered by the divers. They recommenced operations at 10 o'clock this morning, but have brought up nothing but copper bars. The fathers, mothers, wi ves , children, and other relatives, pace the beach from an early hour in the morning. Yesterday, delicate women braved the rain and storm all day, making their melancholy search. Every now and then I was met by persons with sorrowful faces, one in quiring, " Have you seen any trace of my husband ? His name was -." " Oh, have you found any thing with the name of - ? She was my child." Indeed, it is a heartrending thing to go near the beach, and to see these mourners, and to meet the carts carrying the mangled corpses, or the parish coffins in which they are to be interred. None of the bodies found last night have been identified. Forty five bodies have been found up to this time. LECTURE TO CARTERS AND CABMEN, Last Friday a very exciting meeting of cabmen, carters, omnibus drivers, and many others of the horse jockey fraternity, was held in the circus on Glasgow Green, to witness an exhibition of Mr. Itarey's wonderful powers in subduing the most vicious horses. The large building was literally packed by a singularly characteristic audience, drawn from the classes whom Mr. Rarey had kindly invited to meet him free of all charge. We have seen many great and many very peculiar gatherings in Glasgow. but the meeting of Friday possessed features of interest which rendered it wholly unique. We have never seen Mr. Rarey exhibit his thorough command over the horse to greater advantage than on that occasion. One of the horses submitted to his operations, and on which he had never laid hands before, was notorious for its kicking propen sities. It was brought into the ring with a very bad character, and when Mr. Rarey touched it at first it struck out in a manner which greatly excited the audience. By and by, however, it became less irri table, and the process of strapping the fore legs was speedily accomplished. It was now compelled to lie down and allow its master to treat it as he thought proper. Suffice to say, that the simple and kindly process pursued in this, as in all other cases, was most satisfactory. Mr. Itarey lay down with it, laid his head upon its own, and placed its hind legs upon his head, and showed that in the very first interview its vicious habits were, for the time being at least, fairly brought under, and that a few more interviews were only require d to cure it of these altogether. The other experiments were equally successful. Altogether the exhibition of Friday night, and themany practical lessons and remarks which were thrown out in the course of it, could not fail to be highly useful to men who spend the most of their time, and who earn their daily bread, in company with the horse. It would be well if every one of these men could be put in pos session of Mr. Rarey's valuable pamphlet, illustra tive of his mode of treating this noble animal. The audience became so excited at times that he had frequently to request them to keep still ; and al though this was not an easy matter in a gathering of from two to three thousand cabmen, carters, &c., yet he succeeded in subduing his audience with as much tact as he did the horse. Where were the Patrons of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals last night ? One such exhibition is worth ten thousand homilies on that subject, and we cannot but regard Mr. Rarey as one of the most distinguished benefactors of the horse, which is oftentimes subjected to such cruel abuse. No ar rangement seemed to have been made for returning thanks to Mr. Rarey for his highly useful and gra tuitous services, but at the close of his exhibition many rough-looking, but kindly-hearted men. gathered around him in the ring to shake hands with him, and return him their warmest thanks. The Rev. Mr. Wallace, who was present, with seve ral of our civic authorities, rose, and in a f ew sen tences gave utterance and shape to the feelings of the large audience, by formally proposing a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Rarey, and the meeting was closed with several hearty rounds of applause,— Glasgow Commonwealth. LAW INTELLIGENCE'.-(TIIIS COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) APPEAL MOTION-JENKINS V. GREEN. This is an appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolls affirming the certificate of his chief clerk, finding that the agreement for a lease for 14 years of 437 acres of the rectory lands of the parish of Gillingham, in the county of Lincoln, at a rent of £3OO, dated April 24, 1855, was not in oPP° SI :, Lion to the Act of Parliament 5 and 6 Vie., 1842, and could be carried into effect by granting a valid lease. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., was heard for the appellant. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., appeared for the respondents. The Lord Chancellor, at the conclusion of the argument! of counsel on both sides, said that their lordships would take time to consider it. Judgment reserved. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCIT.
