LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 2(3, 18.59. THE CONGRESS. " To be or not to be—that is the question ?" Taking the above for consideration we may wel as k Who can decide when Doctors disagree ? We shall not pretend to decide a matter so full of consequence to Italy. But we may ask where is the use of a Congress if the Emperor of the FRENCH is to prejudge the question of Italian Nationality ? He affects great concern, to cover his wounded pride, and mask his discomfited ambition, at the very idea of the Italians daring to think for themselves. How could,he pretend to know better than themselves what is best for their comfort and eventual inde pendence than those who are to profit by the result ? NAPOLEON is Emperor by the free election of the French people as the story runs. But if he had not amassed a very immense army to control and overawe these loyal people where would have been his chance of the Imperial Diadem ? Has he not avowed that the Empire is peace, and yet to prove its fallacy he rushes into an Italian war, which in his terror, be it real or assumed, he hastens to bring to a sudden close, like the boy who climbed the tree, but who hurried away with his pockets half full for fear of being caught, and so lose the pleasure of the spoil he had already achieved by stealth. That is the parallel of the broken-down Italian campaign. The bubble had just burst in the very act of victory being thoroughly achieved, and Italy being freed from the Alps to the Adriatic. Well might the heroic French soldier exclaim 4, 0, tchat a falling of was there, my countrymen ! Then you, and I, and all of us fell down, To please a tyrant in his mad revenge " And yet NAPOLEON will have a Congress assem bled to whitewash his folly. Of course, he has made sure of Austria for the sake of the expelled or runaway tyrannical Dukes. But will England, will Russia, will Prussia, and other independent German States submit to the ignominy of recording or registering the precipitate folly—the presumptu ous assurance of the Imperial Despots at Villa franca Never !we trust. Much as we dislike the horrors of war, it were far better to have war to the top of its bent than to be fooled by securing the idea of peace by humbling our character to the meanness of accepting such preposterous terms. The French idea of a Congress is merely to gain time for being better prepared for ulterior pur poses. The war of Spain against Morocco is but a pretext of France to seize on Ceuta, Tangiers, and all the coast of Africa opposite Gibraltar, • in order that NAPOLEON may endeavour to command the passage into the Mediterranean. But before he attains that object so dear to his am bition he will command the Straits of Dover, first, by [capturing the Castle of CT.:3AR and anchor his fleet in the Downs! What would he be at ? Does he purpot,e to throw the fame of his great uncle into the shade now that his own evil star is for a brief tizate in the ascendant ? Let him take heed in the daring of his revenge lest lie lose more by the attempt than he can hope to gain by the peril of the venture. Let him remember that life is but a span, and that his career, however ap parently br lliant for the moment, is but as a rocket which blaze !s the brighter as it ascends—only to fall the more !rapidly to its doom. The follow i.ng are opinions of somo of our contcm poroxies on Oa e precious Congress : iFcom the, .11 - oiviiily Post.) The prelimim Aries which the English Government have onsidered necessary previous to the assem- Wing of a Congress are, we believe, in a fair way of settlement. The French and Austrian invita tions are now lying at Paris ready to be sent out to the Powers who are to be convoked. We may therefore look forward to the assembling of the Congress at no very distant date. (Front the Daily 11-ews.) At the end of another week, notwithstanding the numerous announcements of the foreign press, no formal invitation to join a European Congress has reached our Government. (Paris Correspondent of 1/e Morning Adceitiser.) Lord Cowley has communicated the assent of the English Government to the Suez Canal project, and to the Congress. The other Powers, Austria ex cepted, have also assented to the Congress. The period for the assembling of the Congress has been deferred. A pleasant foretaste of the agreeable things in store for him during the progress of the next ses sion of Parliament has just been vouchsafed to Mr. BRIGHT by the Right Hon. C. B. ADDERLEY. It is apropos of reform in the popular representation. In respect to which question so many parties and sections of parties throughout the conntry coincide upon two points thoroughly. First iu recognising the necessity, more or less urgent, for revising the last reform of Parliament. Secondly, in falling foul, more or less heartily, of the particular schemes, crotchets, and phantasies of the hon. gentleman the member for Birmingham. How many are there not, who have long been agreed quite as cordially upon one point as upon the other ! Who think that the need for Reform is undeniable ! And who insist no less earnestly that the projects of reform fathered by Mr. BRIGHT are nothing less than dangerously democratic and, to all intents and purposes, revolu tionary. Yet, in simple point of fact, Mr. BRIGHT merely demands - what we all demand. Ife demands economy in the national expendi ture. He demands an extension of the fran chise proportioned to the advance of general enlightenment and civilisation. He demands a more equitable redistribution of the electoral dis tricts—the disfranchisement of some little trumpery boroughs—the enfranchisement in their place of other vast and populous localities hitherto denied the privilege of sending representatives to the Imperial Legislature. He is for putting an end at cnce to these and divers other glaring and utterly indefensible anomalies. It were frivolous surely to gainsay the reasonableness of any one of these demands in themselves. Take the demand for economizing in our disbursements by way of example. Assuredly no one can for a single instant insinuate that Mr. BRIGHT has not reason entirely and absolutely on his side—with our annual expenditure,very little short, indeed, of a stupendous yearly outlay of £70,000,000 ! Or, flying off at a tangent to a totally different theme of discussion, upon which the lion. member for Birmingham has so often descanted so very eloquently and persuasively— Who will have the effrontery to maintain that there is really visible no anomaly at all in the fact, let us say, of such a place as Midhurst returning a member to the House of Commons, while the thousands upon thousands of wealthy, and edu cated, and taxpaying, and loyal inhabitants of Kensington, Chelsea, and Bayswater are to this moment altogether unrepresented ? Yet, while Mr. BRIGHT argues in reason, it must be confessed that he has so contrived to irritate a very considerable majority of his fellow countrymen that his demands have hitherto been principally effective in drawing down upon his own head a singular unanimity of objurgation. Mr. ADDERLEY'S speeeeh on Tuesday evening at ITrinlny is gin Intr..f foctimnny (If thn onrimnninTic antagonism excited in the minds of the Conserva tives by the Reform harangues of the hon. gentle man the member for Birmingham. It is all the more significant in its way this direct onslaught upon Mr. BRIGHT by a reforming Conservative— seeing that it was prefaced by the fervent protesta tion volunteered by INIr.ADDERLEv that " he was only speaking the sentiment of every gentleman in that room when he said they were not only ready but anx ious to carry out—not only now, but always—from time to time, that system of reform which shall keep the institutions of this country on a level with the advancing intelligence and political pro gress of the people." A protestation, by the way, that was greeted at once by that Conservative audience at Hanley with a burst of acclamations. Yet the speaker added immediately upon this the objection—" But when they found that there were men who put this question forward as having the monopoly of reform, and indulging in the grossest misrepresentations in order to keep that position of monopoly, and who put themselves for ward as leaders in this question, to which they had so little claim, it was high time they (the Conservatives) should Understand these men, and what they were about." It might be surmised, of course, that these frequent allusions had reference more parti cularly to the Whigs. But no !—Mr. ADDERLEY explains his meaning pretty frankly when he says, " Foremost among these was Mr. BRIGHT, who he (Mr. ADDERLEY) did not hesitate to say, as he had frequently said in his presence, prostituted the highest abilities for the simple purpose of personal aggrandisemen't." Tolerably bold speaking that —what the Yankees calculate to be—pretty tall talking ! But not nearly so explicit as what comes soon afterwards. When the right lion. gentleman, Mr. ADDERLEY, charges Mr. BRIGHT distinctly with a very lax and negligent attention, indeed, to discussions in the House of Commons or, supply nights—at the very time that Mr. BRIGHT affects so much indignation at our lavish expendi ture ! Mr. ADDERLEY says quite plainly that " he had scarcely seen him (Mr. BRIGHT) in the house on those occasions for 18 years, and he did not recollect him ever taking part in a dis cussion on the supplies." Nay, he gives a positive and very recent case in point. He says : —" He recollected last session, when he proposed to save this country no less than £2,000,000 a year by throwing upon the colonies, a task which ought to have devolved upon them long ago—making them support their own defences. Now, in such a moment as that was it not reasonable to suppose that the men who so loudly abused them (the Conservatives) for extravagance, would only too readily give the measure their support ? But how was it ? He (Mr. ADDEB.LEY) said to Mr. BRIGHT, " I belong to a class which you accuse of extravagance. I am going to make a proposal by which a large sum wiil be saved to the country. Be it good or bad, will you join me, and take part in the debate, and give me your in dependent opinion, whether it is done or not, or whether it is worth anything or not ? In the course of the debate Mr. Bamirr disappeared long before the debate was over, without taking any part in the discussion." Of course all this told wonderfully well against Mr. BRIGHT among the Conservative audience listening to Mr. ADDERLEY. Yet the reply of the hon. member for Birmingham, would be simple enough and unanswer- , able enough in its way. The more cheese pairing occupation is not his metier ! He left that laborious and thankless task formerly to Mr. JOSEPH HotE as he leaves it now to Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS. And Mr. BRIGHT, we may rest assured, does so all the more willingly because he has small reliance upon the efficiency of that 1 system of piecemeal economy, that at the very best and under the very happiest auspices can do no more than carry out the advice of the old adage—looking after the pence while leaving the pounds to take care of themselves ! In Mr. BRIGHT'S choice there cannot surely be recog nised any inconsistency. That wholesale Economist and wholesale Reformer leaves the little fribbling retail emendations and retrenchments to fragmen tary innovators like Mr. WILLIAms, or, for that matter, Mr. ADDERLEY himself. The member for Birmingham meditating the while far grander Reforms, and a more comprehensive system of Retrenchment. " Trust in Vicron. EMMANUEL and keep your powder dry." Such is the advice of the retiring hero of Italy ; and we must trust in GARIBALDI and keep our governors right. •We say, keep them right ; for we have no reason to think they ha've, as yet, gone wrong on the Italian question ; but we all know how easily England may be outwitted in diplomacy ; whether it be with a Chinese Mandarin or a French or an Austrian Count, we are generally worsted in the conflict of give and take. Who would have believed that an English nobleman would, at the instigation of Count WALEwsKi I have sacrificed the press of Belgium ? or that England would ever, indeed, have left Russia at all in the position she now occupies in the Black Sea ; to say ndthing of bolder and higher views, which the fickleness of the Emperor, who repeated the same fickleness at Villafranca, pre vented us from asserting. GARIBALDI himself is the only light in this dark affair of his withdrawal from his military command in the Romagna. We are perfectly certain that he would not do either a cowardly or an unpa triotic act: He thinks that, to use his own word, " tortuous" as diplomacy is now becoming, he, a frank soldier, is not the man to twist and twine with it, or to bow and crin ge to even the master of 700,000 bayonets. He felt himself pledged to fight if he continued in command ; and the King him self seems to have felt that he could not succeed in Congress while GARIBALDI was beyond the fron tiers of the Bolognese. This, we may say, we more than suspect to be the real state of the case. While some of the friends of Italian liberty trem bled for it, if GARIBALDI should draw upon him the forces of Rome and Naples, GARIBALDI himself had no such fear. He well knew that he could thrash to chaff all the mercenaries of the POPE and the BOURBON, and that the Italians of their armies would desert to him on the day of battlo. He cared not for the POPE or BOMBA, junior; the inspiration of his cause, and of his own military genius, assured him that the pseudo•ltalian armies of these despots would, as those of the Austrians did, " run like rabbits before his young recruits! He would have beaten them, because he felt able to beat them. Yes, but VICTOR EMMANUEL whispers in his ear " You may flog them both—l believe you would— but what would the occupant of Rome do ? He holds himself to be the defender of the POPE, and of all who invade his territories. Your skill and courage could not perform impossibilities; they could not vanquish the French army, which my Imperial cousin tells me he must move against you." GARIBALDI looks grave, but he has no alternative. If he stirs against Rome or Naples, he knows that victory is sure, and revolution would follow; but he now knows that revolution would be crushed— that the people would not be suffered to do what they will with their own. Louis NAPOLEON has .nl/1 liirnonlf—tinf fn n PPrtain nnmpleaq pprqnnn en —but to those who, in this matter, are certainly doing his work on earth, the Roman Catholic clergy. Italy must not be free, because Louis NAPO LEON desires to bribe the French clergy, and per haps the Univers too, could anything rea sonable but satisfy the demands of Ultramontanists So GARIBLADI yields to the necessity of the hour. But he retires ready for a spring, if his cause be sold or trifled with. His word at any time will raise all the four States to deadly conflict for liberty ; and though we must regret that such a creator of soldiers should leave his colours, we may, we will, hope that he knows what he is doing. To us it almost looks as if his retreat at the pre sent time was a part of the bargain in the affair of the Carignan Regency. We have now the Sardi nian statement of what Europe may be told about that affair. Of the real motives for all, we are, of course, yet as much in the dark as ever ; but the Courts of Europe may be told that the vote was as spontaneous and universal as that for annexation to Piedmont—a fresh proof of the attachment,of the States to the monarchical principle—of their re solve to adhere to the vote of annexation—and of their hostility to restitution. That his Majesty could not see with indifference either their desire for the order and good administration to which a tnoaarchy is essential, or their determination to unite with Piedmont, but that he did not wish to appear to " encroach upon the liberty of examina tion and deliberation of the approaching Congress." Then his Majesty proceeds to urge the necessity of his taking precautions against dangers to order from the turbulence of factions, and therefore of his sanctioning some central authority to preserve the general peace. He warns the Courts, however, in rather strong language, that all this can be but provisional. He says— " We cannot conceal the fact that this measure, owing to its e3sentially provisional character, would not completely reassure you, if top long protracted. It is urgent that the Congress should meet as early as possible ; as it is most necessary that the solution it may in its Wisdom adopt shall be such as, in satisfying the wants and wishes of the Italian population, may put an end for ever to the danger of inter nal revolutions and foreign interventions. Long delays would be fatal ; any solution not guaranteering the indo pendonce of Italy would only be a source of now calamities for the Italians, of unoasiness and conflicts for Europe." At present, on the whole, the language of VICTOR EMMANUEL is as firm as could be hoped, after the concessions he has made. He was wrong at the beginning, and so far wrong still, in wishing to allow any " liberty of examination" at all to a Con gress. They have, by international law, confessedly no right to deliberate as to what the States of Cen tral Italy shall do, any more than those States have to deliberate as to how the powers that meet shall be governed. Surely Vic roR EMMANUEL will never tolerate the Congress entertaining the question of the Dukes' return ! He may, of course, givo up his own personal rights, if he be so ignominiously minded ; but, we should add, he is sacrificing the dignity of the Piedmontese monarchy if he permits Congress to fort id his acceptance of the offered Crown. llc may take counsel with the powers there as friendly advisers ; he may show himself perfectly willing to hear all their arguments; but, if he have any self-respect, he must say the decision rests with me; and with no one else, and having heard all you have said—l pronounce for the free dom of Italy, and therefore accept the offer which they have made in behalf of its freedom ; the king dom of Northern Italy is therefore inaugurated. A company has been formed at Konigsberg for constructing a line of railway between that place and Thorn, the expense of which is esti ma t e d a t 10 m illi on th a l ers (3f. 7.5 c. each). According to accounts from Cairo, the Nile this season has risen to such a height that the inhabitants have been able to inundate the fields several times at regular in tervals. The consequence is that wheat, barley, and other grain will this year be most abundant. THE' SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, _NOXEMBER 26, 1859. LATEST NEWS.

The following letter of Nov. 15 is given in the Italian journals as having been addressed by Prince de Carignan to M. Matteucei at Pisa : " Signor Commendatore—l am at a loss for words to ex press to you my sincere gratitude for the letter you were kind enough to write to me. The vote of the Assemblies of Central Italy—a vote which I must rather attribute to the affection of the Italians for the King than for me per sonally—was very agreeable to my feelings, although far superior to my merits. You may be therefore certain that the sacrifice which I make; in depriving myself of the plea sure of personally accomplishing the honourable mission confided to me, is exceedingly great. I should have been happy to prove to the Italians all the affection as well as the sincere gratitude which I feel for them ; but in spite of myself it could not be accomplished. I have the satis faction of thinking that, on the eve of the meeting of the European Congress, this sacrifice may be more useful to the Italians than my presence, since it is calculated to re move all suspicion. I fully comprehend all the difficulty of the situation of Central Italy, but we must not lose courage. On the contrary, we must show redoubled energy, be united and armed, while maintaining that perfect order which does so much honour to the Italians in those diffi cult moments, and which, by exciting the admiration of all nations, will doubtless be their most powerful support at the Congress. My reply to Commander Minghetti and M. Peruzzi must, I hope, have satisfied the Italians. I have done all that I could do; you know my frankness and good faith, and that I desire nothing more in the world than to see Italy happy.—Accept, &c., "EUGENE DE SAVOIE." The subjoined is the latest address of the Corn mander-in-Chief of the Army of the Centra . States : " Head Quarters at Modena, Nov. 18. " Soldiers,—When I arrived amongst you three months ago, I quitted a noble command in the brave Sardinian army, and separated myself with regret from my brava comrades of the Crimea and of the last campaign. I was, however, sustained in this trouble by the consoling thought that I was rendering a great service to my country and to the land of my birth, where I received the first rudiments of the military art, and gained my first experience of war upon the Secchia and the Marecchia. " The difficulty of the undertaking did not stop me; for I was anxious to see a strong and well equipped army created, though when the enemy constantly menaced us upon the Po and the Tavallo, I could count only upon a handful of bravo soldiers for the independence of the country. That which gave mo full confidence in success was the facile enrolment and organisation of troops ; the unanimous concurrence of these generous provinces, and of the neighbouring provinces which still groan under the yoke of the foreigner ; and the wisdom and sympathy of the men who conduct the Government so well, and also of all those officers who fought so gloriously in Piedmont and Lombardy, as well as at Venice and Rome. " This success has been realised, for to-day we have numerous phalanxes of infantry, of cavalry, and of ar - tillery, we possess field batteries and siege artillery ; arsenals are being erected; munitions, ambulances, and transports are being organised; fortifications are being erected at Mirandola and at Rimini ; and Bologna, surrounded with guns, will become at no distant period a centre which will give us safety and protection in any eventuality. " Nevertheless, these results must not unduly exalt us ; the work to which we dedicate ourselves in the spirit of self-denial, requires time. The hand of man does not create with the rapidity of thought; discipline and instruction do not proceed solely fram inclination—they are the fruit of time, habit, and labour. Let us pursue, then, with patience and constancy the work already sketched out, in order make ourselves worthy of the destinies to which Provi dence and fortune have called us. With perseverance we shall triumph over the enemy, who does not feel strong at home, who reads his ruin in our attitude, and who will be compelled either to ignominiously lay down his arms before public reprobation, or to come despairingly to battle with the certainty of defeat. "Courage, then, my young soldiers. Honour and loyalty I let those wards be our motto ; and let those who attack us on the pretext of our excesses, find us strong and united around the flag which we have saluted for ten years upon the Berea, and which even alone, we will defend now and for ever for honour and country. "FANTI, THE CAPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY. The mail steamer Phoebe, Captain Hoffman, arrived here this morning with the homeward mails from the Cape of Good Hope. She brings a full cargo and about 30 passengers, among whom are the Rev. Mr. Henchman, the Rev. J. Glover, Captain Akers, R.A. ; Lieutenant Squire, 2d Regi ment; Rev. Mr. Berry, Dr. Pitt, and the Rev. Mr. Radford. The Phoebe has had a splendid passage. ller dates arc—Table Bay, Oct. 22 ; St. Helena, Oct. 31 ; and Ascension, Nov. 4. The principal event of the month is the termina tion of the long drought, which had thinned the flocks in many districts, and emptied the shops by intercepting the supplies from the great stores at the seaports. Droughts, equally severe are said to have occurred in South Africa in every period of eight or 10 years, or at least within 11 or 12 years of each other, with less extensive or severe ones every five or six years. After the great drought came heavy gales from the south-east, and numerous wrecks have again given a bad name to Algoa Bay. On the 3d October four vessels ran ashore, and became total wrecks, viz., the brig Basileia Natal trader), the French barque Chasseur, the brigantine Witch of the Wave, and the condemned hulk Surat. On the 17th six vessels stranded, and became total wrecks, viz., the Lyme Regis, Prince Woron zoff, Star of the West, Arabian, Governess, and Wigram. The Star of the West was laden with a valuable cargo of colonial produce for London. The Rosebud, for Table Bay from East London, it is feared, has foundered with several passengers. The Cape Town and Wellington Railway works are progressing favourably. The Lord Raglan, immigrant vessel, had arrived in 64 days from Southampton. The whole of her passengers had met with employment. The imports for the quarter ending June were £559,803, being less by £43,000 than in correspond ing quarter of 1858. Exports for same quarter, £483,993, being an increase of about £127,000. Government has just completed the issue of £O,OOO debentures. The total amount tendered for was £186,000, or £106,000 beyond the sum re quired. The mail ship Athens arrived on the 14th of October from Plymouth. All was quiet on the frontiers. THE BOMBAY MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.

SMETHURST'S CASE.—LAW AND MEDICINE.— The Home Secretary has recognised the duties of the position in which inexorable logic has placed him in re ference to the case of Smethurst. A jury had declared this man guilty of murder. The extra-judicial and very keen analysis of the evidence had so shaken confidence in the justice of the verdict, that Sir G. C. Lewis felt it to be his duty to stay the execution of the convict. Having gone so far, it became necessary to follow out his decision to its consequences. He had, in the belief that the sentence was unjust, arrested the course of the law ; he had rescued the condemned man from the punishment decreed for the crime of which he was declared guilty : how could he con sistently inflict another punishment . ? A secondary punish ment could only be inflicted either for the crime of which, by reprieving him, it was acknowledged that Smethurst was innocent, or, at least, not proved to be guilty ; or for some other crime for which he had not been tried. Sir G. C. Lewis has fairly mot the difficulty. He has granted a free pardon for the crime of murder, and has instituted a prose cution against Smethurst for the offence of bigamy. If punishment is to be undergone, it shall be on fresh convic tion, after a special trial. By this course, it i s t o b e hoped that the action of our criminal code will be sufficiently re conciled to the dictates of reason.—Lancet. MlNES.—There has been a good deal of fluctuation and excitement in the Mining Share Market this week, but scarcely an average amount of bona fide business transacted. Speculating for the " account" in one or two of the mines offering peculiar facilities for the operation, and which seem to be worked up and down to suit certain " books," has, since our last, been the prominent feature in the market. Copper is advancing, and there seems a very general impression that it will rise considerably, and we should i o ,,k forward, therefore, to more business in good dividend mines. South Caradon shares have still been sought after by parties connected with the locality, and they leave off at 255 to 265 ; we have not been able to learn the truth otherwise of the report of a new lode being cut, as ncticed last week.

Raymond, Second Master, commanding, from Queenstown, with supernumeraries, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday. The freight ship Talbot, with provisions and stores for the Cape of Good Hope, sailed from Ply mouth on Wednesday. Her Majesty's ship Wrangler returned to Wool wich yesterday from an experimental cruise, to try the 401 b. and 801 b. Armstrong guns at sea. A most complete course of experiments was carried out under the inspection of Capt. Sir William Wise man, Vice-President of the Royal Ordnance Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal, and Lieut. T. L. Ward, of the gunnery ship Excellent. Sixty rounds of ammunition with the elongated shot were fired with perfect success, and every equipmont pertaining to the gun was pronounced faultless. The hired steam transport Thunder, Commander Dennis, has commenced shipping stores and ammu nition from Woolwich Arsenal. The Thunder is a magnificent ship, recently launched from the build ing-yard of Mr. Langley, at Deptford, for the firm of Messrs. Apcar and Co., of Calcutta. She is said to be one of the fastest ships afloat, having performed during her recent trial at the rate of statute miles per hour. Her crew consists prin cipally of Lascars, experienced men from other ships, who are considered, although far inferior to our own countrymen as seamen, better adapted for the variation of climate to which they will be ex posed. A spacious magazine has been built aft for the stowage of a large amount of ammunition. A portion of her cargo will consist of Tower stores—namely, bedsteads, bedding, clothing, &c. She will be ready for sea about the 6th December. The steam storeship Supply, Master Commander Balliston, yesterday commenced unshipping her cargo at Woolwich, consisting of about 600 tons of rejected shot, shell, and other military stores, from Malta. The authorities of Woolwich Dockyard have re ceived a notification from the Surveyor• General of the Navy, stating that the Lords of the Admiralty have expressed their disapprobation of Bray's steam traction engine lately received at the yard, and have desired that a second engine shall be built by the company to supply its place, the building of which shall be subject to the supervision of the engineer officers of Woolwich factory. Every arrangement has been made for the launch of the screw gun•vessel Ranger, from No. 2 slip at Deptford, this afternoon. The launch will take place at two o'clock. Her armament, which will be furnished from Woolwich Arsenal, will consist of five guns—namely, one 68 pounder 95cwt. gun, 10 feet in length, and four 24-pound howitzers. The keel of a precisely similar vessel, to be named the Landrail, has been already prepared, and she will be laid down on the slip now oceupied by the Ranger, which is ordered to be got ready for com • mission with all despatch. The following are her exact .dimensions;:— Ft. In. Length between perpendiculars ' 145 0 Length of keel for tonnage 127 10a Breadth of extreme 25 4 Breadth for tonnage 25 0 Breadth moulded Depth in hold Burthen, in tons ....425 14-9lths.

The following circular letter has been received al Aldershott and the Curragh : " War-office, Nov. 8. " Sir,—Adverting to the arrangement for the supply, from the Ist of October last, to the troops stationed at A ldershott and the Curragh, of extra articles of diet, for which an additional stoppage of lid. per ration is required, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Herbert to •acquaint you that the said stoppage is to be paid monthly by the Paymaster direct to the Commissariat officer at the camp, and should be kept entirely distinct from the regular stoppage of 41d. for the ordinary ration of bread and meat supplied to the men, " B. HAwEs. " To Officers commanding and Paymasters . of Regi ments at Aldershoit and the Curragh." - Arrangements have been made at Chatham for the delivery of periodical lectures to the troops at that garrison on interesting and attractive subjects during the winter months, the best results having attended the lectures delivered to the troops last winter. The first of the present course of lectures was delivered in the garrison chapel on Thursday evening, when there was a large attendance of the non-commissioned officers and men. A number of the non-commissioned officers and men of the - Indian Engineers who havd completed a eourse of instruction in sapping and mining and fortification with the Royal Engineers are ordered to leave Chatham this day, to join their depot at Warley, preparatory to embarking for India. A few days ago the non-commissioned officers and men of No. 2 (Capt. G. H. A. Forbes's) Battery, Ist Brigade, Royal Artillery, assembled in No. 69 bar rack-room, Woolwich, for the purpose of presenting a silver goblet to Battery-Sergt.-Major C. Chick - land, about to leave the service. After an appro priate address by Sergt. W. Lowe, the goblet was presented, with the assurance of their best wishes for his future. success in life. Battery-Ser geant-Major Chickland, after receiving the gob let, returned thanks for this mark of respect tendered towards him by so many of his comrades, many of whom had served with him throughout the dangers and hardships of the Crimea. On the goblet was inscribed—" Presented to Battery Ser geant-Major Charles Chickland by the non-com missioned officers and men of No. 2 Battery, Ist Brigade, Royal Artillery, as a mark of their re spect, on his leaving the service." A number of non-commissioned officers and men of the Artillery arrived last night at Woolwich— some from Ireland and others from Christchurch— to form the two batteries to replace Major Barry's and Capt. Milward's, under orders for China. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. I VoNnoN, Nov. 26.—Wind this day at noon, South; moderate breeze ; weather, mild and cloudy.

COBDEN.--The Manchester Examiner of yesterday says :—Understanding that rumours regarding the serious illness of Mr. Cobden were in circu lation in Manchester last evening, we have made inquiries on the subject, and are enabled to state the following facts upon the best authoriyt :—Mr. Cobden left London for Paris on Wednesday, the 16th inst., and was then suffering under a severe cold, which was aggravated by his crossing the Channel on the 17th. When he arrived in Paris he was compelled to confine himself to his room, and has been suffering ever since. We are glad, however, to state that, according to the latest reports of his physician, the hon. gentleman was progressing favourably." DEATH OF COL. HODDER.—lntelligence has been received in Cork of the death of Col. W. H. M. Hodder, of the North Cork Rifles. It appears that on Thursday last he was out riding at Ayr where the regiment is now stationed, and on his return he felt very cold and numbed. On alight ing from his horse his foot. owing to the numbness of his limbs, slipped, and he fell with his head against a kerb stone, receiving a concussion of the base of the skull, under which he suffered until Sunday morning, when he expired. The deceased gentleman was a deputy lieutenant of the county, and colonel of the North Cork Rifles, in which his commission bears date March 1, 1831. He was previously a lieutenant in the 88th Connaught Rangers. In this latter regiment he served hi the Peninsula, and was present at the battles of Talavera. Busaco, and Fuentes d'Onor, the affair of Foz d'Arouce and Sabugal, and lines of Torres Vedras, for which he received a medal and three clasps. He had the appointment to the commissions in the North C Jrk Regiment, but in future the filling up of vacancies, includ ing that of the colonel himself, will be vested in the lieute nant of the county. M. Buoncornpagni is a native of Turin, and previously to 1848 he was celebrated for writings on civil law and public instruction, and for his attachment to liberal principles. When, in 1848, a constitutional r eg i me was established in Piedmont, he was made Minister of Public Instruction, and in that capacity he drew up the law on na tional colleges, which has produced good results. He was afterwards Minfster of Grace and Justice, and President of the Chamber of Deputies. He then became ambassador in Tuscany, and on the departure of the Grand Duke was ap pointed Royal Commissioner by Sardinia. He is firmly at tached to constitutional principles, and is remarkable for moderation. GARIBALDL A letter from Florence, dated Nov. 20, saYs The fate of Garibaldi is sealed. I wrote three or four days ago announcing the dismissal or rethive ment of that patriot-general from his post. r re information I then gave was again and again con information but it receives now ample and sure con &illation. Full of the thought that the only Wily for Italy to break through the toils of France wee in some deed of memorable daring; intimately con vinced that the Romagnese troops under his coin. mand could only be prevented from falling into mand utter disorganisation by i mme diate acti on ' mitted, as he saw himself,in the eyes of his fo llow to some decisive course by the resolute language .L:e they vestAl in him ; tempted, had always held to them, and the headlong feu.' tude and facility of the enterprise, Garibaldi ine dilated a sudden onset on the Marches and thea Abruzzi, by which he felt confident he could ope his way to the conquest of Naples, and to t eat .e wealthy and populous southern kingdom to th finally-, by the inagfh- , destinies of Northern and Central Italy. It plan !° seems he communicated his venturous Fanti at Bologna, and that the latter, without d!ls; approving it, submitted it to the decision of t i , h. Turin Cabinet ; this led to the successive call of I ft o Generals to the Court of Victor Emman i iel, an and that four hours' interview between the King Garibaldi, at the end of which the latter, both his own convictions and projects to his a ge . o tion for the King and deference to his avisel; clearly saw that nothing was left for h im but sent immediate withdrawal into private life.
