The mainmast of the flag-ship Royal Albert,l2l, at Plymouth, is said to have sustained damage on her passage out to Lisbon, owing to the mainstay having given way. One hundred and fifty supernumeraries are wait ing at Plymouth for passage to the Mediterranean by the screw troopship Himalaya, Capt. Seccombe, expected to call there after she leaves Portsmouth.

STAMPED, 51). chained, and they must, let us hope only for a brief season, have their fling. Among the worst workers of popular mischief is a man who, as a stranger, has of course no feeling for the country he is tearing to pieces, a man who everywhere else would merely be laughed at, but whose flashing talents and epigrammatic, asthmatic French style, is not without its baleful influence among those light.minded, excitable Southern people. I allude to M. Alexandre Dumas. Goaded to madness by his dismissal from the Royal Museum, and his ejection from the Paradise of the Chiatamone, he has set up as a journalist, and his Independents, a paper written almost en tirely by himself, in a quaint, semi -barbarous, but racy, Italian, has become a most efficient firebrand. The man's assurance, his uncompromising lies, may be amusing to those who read them at a dis tance, but they do incalculable harm on the spot where they too freely circulate. " Why is it," he said, " that we read in all the Piedmontese official or semi-official papers the word Cretin inva riably applied to the Neapolitans ?" He then proceeds to account 'for this misuse of an un- i merited term of opprobrium by the fact that the Neapolitans are, if not hostile to Cavour, at least strongly . attached to Grari baldi, who broke their chains, and would have also rescued Rome and Venice from thraldom and united all Italy, had he not been roiled and thwarted by the unprincipled ruse of Cavour and his Piedmontese, who grudge their Italian brethren the blessings of freedom and have set their minds against the unification of the country. He further descants on the intellectual and social qualities of the Neapolitans, and launches into withering in veetives against the wanton injustice of inflicting the ignominious epithet of cretin on so gifted a race. Now, it so happens that lam living in Piedmont, and read all the Piedmontese papers, Ministerial or otherwise, and I need hardly assure you that the word cretin, as coupled with the Southern Italians, never appeared in any of their columns, as it is universally admitted here that the Southern people have the advantage of the North eners in all the more brilliant qualities of the mind; and the word cretin, indicative of a disease which is too common in the valleys of the Alps, has rather been too generally, whether deservedly or not, used by unfriendly neighbours to designate the Piedmontese themselves. M. Dumas knew all this better than I do ; but it answered his purpose by a gratuitous falsehood, which hardly any man in Naples has the means or the inclination to disprove, to stir up the bad blood which already exists between the Neapolitans and the people who are even now fighting for them ; doing for them at Gaeta what the Garibaldtans (no blame to them) could never have achieved—and M. Dumas stieks at nothing. The ships in the Sound belonging to the Channel squadron discharged their powder yesterday morn ing. Admiral Stopford's ship, the Royal Albert, 121, Capt. Henry S. Lacon ; the Conqueror, 101, Capt. Edward S. Sotheby, C.P,., and the Donegal, 101, Capt. Broadhead, went up Hamoue ; the Aboukir and Emerald are likely to follow. The sailing frigate Alarm, 26, having been cop pered to the bends, was removed yesterday (Fri day) from the Devonport dockyard and warped to the south jetty. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Alexander C. Archdeacon, assistant-paymaster in charge to the Naiad, and William B. Edkins, assistant-paymaster to the Penguin. It is hard to think in what a variety of ways the French contrive to harm this poor Italy, upon which they are so anxious to exercise their a legitimate influence." On the one hand we have the Pope en throned on French bayonets on the Vatican (may he never have a softer seat under him !) ; on the other, we have Admiral Barbier hectoring at Gaeta, General Goyon blustering at Terracina, his lieute nants taking and retaking Viterbo, threatening Orvieto, and everywhere doing the dirty work of Pontifical Gendarmes ; all this while the Imperial pamphleteer flatters the Italians with hopes of the imminent suppression of Papal temporalities and a purchase of Venetia on easy terms. And if official interference were not a sufficient evil—there we have amateur Lamoricieres and Pimodans heading a crusade for the Pope, and here amateur Dumases determined to blow the sparks of old Italian jea lousies into a conflagration of irreconcilable feuds. Under such circumstances it is very clear that the South of Italy and the whole country can only be saved by the strong hand, the armed force of the North. Twelve thousand choice Sardinian troops are expected soon to land in Sicily, where Monteze molo contemplates a general disarmament of the population. The sting must be taken from the wasps; we will then see how the drones may be converted into orderly .and industrious bees. lam told that the elections in Sicily can by no possi bility come off before the end of next February, as the absence of all municipal or other governmer.l renders it impossible to draw the electoral lists before that time. TILE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. UPWARDS OF FIFTY ACCIDENTS. The thermometer at the Ror r al Humane Society's re ceiving-house, at Hyde-park., during Thursday night, fell as low as 27 deg., being five degrees of frost. At nine o'clock yesterday morning the glass indexed, at the same place in the shade, deg., and in the middle of the day it still stood at freezing point, viz., 32. Last night the mer cury was as low as 30 deg., being two degrees below freezing. During the day the metropolis was visited by several showers of snow, but although sufficient to clothe the parks with a mantle of white, the fall has not been so heavy as in many provincial towns. Consequently, the London traffic will not be impeded to any considerable extent. The barometer yesterday stood almost stationary at 20.90. The wind, however, was so variable that it was impossible to conclude, with any degree of accuracy, how long the present weather might continue. Notices were yesterday placed on the different ornamental waters in the Royal Parks for the purpose of warning per sons from venturing upon the fragile surface, the ice in not one of the parks being more than an inch and three. quarters in thickness. Boards marked " Dangerous" I were also placed upon the edges of the various lakes and rivers, but in spite of these precautionary measures taken by the Royal Humane Society, some thousand persons, including men, women, and children, would insist upon venturing their lives upon the frozen waters, and many parties became immersed, as will be seen from the following official returns, supplied by Mr. Williams, Superintendent of the Royal Humane Society : Sr. JAMES'S PARK.—The promenades in this Park, lead ing from the Horse Guards, Storey's-gate, and Spring gardens, almost as far as to the fountain facing Bucking ham Palace, were crowded with persons of all grades in society for the purpose of witnessing the military and others diqaorting themselves by sliding or skating upon the ice. No scientific manoeuvres were gone through during the day worth recording, but not fewer than eighteen persons broke through the ice and became immersed. Six of the endangered persons were saved by iceman Perry with the society's apparatus, four were rescued by iceman R. Mas kell, and the others got out without assistance. The num ber of sliders and skaters on this water was about 310. REGENT'S PARR.—The ice upon the ornamental waters in this park is described by Mr. Young, the secretary of the Royal Humane Society, as being exceedingly danger ous, and only one inch and three-quarters in thickness. Nevertheless, in spite of the cautions given by the society's icemen and the danger-boards exhibited, 2,000 sliders and skaters amused themselves upon the frozen waters during the day, but no accident worth publicly recording occurred. THE SERPENTINE, HYDE PARK.—Under the direction of Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the Royal Humane Society, a number of men were employed in placing the apparatus for saving life upon the water; but although several parties ventured upon the ice, no accident happened. THE LONG WATER IN KENSINGTON GARDENS,—The ice on this sheet of water is described as being very dan gerous, but over 200 persons ventured thereon. Mr. Wm. Walter Fuller, of 21, Phillimore-place, Kensington, broke through into six feet of water, about half-past twelve in the afternoon, but was fortunately rescued by iceman Thomas Pavey, with the aid of the handlines and breaker ladders. Mr. George Chesland, of No. 22, Lower Philli more-place, also broke through the ice and became sub merged, and also another gentleman, nam ed Wm. Gar rett, of Vincent-square, Westminster. Fortunately they were all saved by the Society's icemen, and after being attended to they were able to return to their respective homes. TILE ROYAL ROUND POND, KENSINGTON GARDENS.— A large number of members of the nobility, and also of the Skating Club, amused themselves upon this pond during the day. Several persons broke through into six feet of water. They were rescued by the icemen with the sledge, &c. Amongst those immersed were Mr. Knight, of 12, Cambridge-square; Joseph APDougall, of 18, Wilton-place, Chelsea ; and seven others, who refused to give their names or addresses. VICTORIA NARK.— 300 persons amused themselve s on the ice in this park, but no accident of a serious character occurred.

(From the Times' Correspondent.) TURIN, DEc. 18. The news from the Two Sicilies is in the same melancholy strain ; all public and private intelli gence from the South seems calculated to cast a gloomier cloud on the thinking minds of the North. This latter will deserve no little credit, if it ulti mately succeeds in bringing to reason the more senseless parts of the Peninsula. By an official statement in to-day's Opinions we learn that Farini is ill at Naples, and that his son-in-law and private secretary, Cavaliere Riccardi, is prostrate with a mortal complaint. The news last evening was that he was dead. The young bride of this amiable and accomplished youth, Ada Farini, had just em barked at Genoa, together with her mother, on Wednesdayevening last. She can only have reached Naples in time to receive his parting breath. This is an awkward moment for the King's Lieutenant in the Southern Kingdom to be afflicted either with personal indisposition or with family calami ties, and the worst is that Farini has always been in the enjoyment of strong health, and is still in the prime of manhood. His present illness, from which he has been suffering almost since his arri val in Naples, must be either the result of worry ing cares and harassing difficulties, or a pretext to rid himself of them in a plausible manner, and a hint for Count Cavour to remove him from his unenviable post. Matters bear an even more ominous look in Sicily. A gentleman who had accompanied the Royal Lieutenant Montezemolo to Palermo, and has just returned, describes the state of the island in very dark hues. Murder stalks abroad, and the police is utterly powerless. At Palermo an officer in the Customs was shot dead on the Bth as he was walking home in the evening : „ " In Monreale, on the evening of the Bth, as Michele Polizzi was talking with one Lamantio in the street, ho was struck by a bullet, which went through him and his com panion, and killed them on the spot. Polizzi was a bold, violent, bad man. He had been a bad subject in past times, but upon the rising of Sicily he lent his stalwart arm to the cause of freedom, and, because he loved much, much was forgiven him by Garibaldi, always so generous to those who fight for their country." I copy the above from the private correspondence of an ultra-Liberal and Garibaldian, because the writer unwittingly lays the anger on the sore point. Garibaldi, engaged in an almost desperate struggle, had neither leisure nor power to be very particular as to the means he employed. The most generous patriot and the most abandoned ruffian equally crowded under his banner. He had no knowledge of their characters, no means of discriminating between good and bad. There are hundreds and thousands like Polizzi strutting about the streets of Palermo in the much abused Garibaldian red shirt. These did not, for the most part, fight in Sicily, for Calatafimi, Palermo, and Melazzo were won almost exclusively by the handful of primitive adventurers who landed with the Liberator at Mar sala; they did not fight in Calabria, or at Capua, because they never crossed the Straits. There are 2,500 officers at Palermo, and not one soldier. 66 idle " gents" in glancing uniforms make the Staff of a cavalry regiment, of which not one man nor °Re horse is forthcoming. These worthies are the leaders of those Picciotti bands of which your cor respondent from Garibaldi's head-quarters made such capital fun four months ago. They have given themselves ranks and epaulettes, and their claims have possibly been acknowledged by Gari baldi, who at the time would have been fain to grant them any terms so he might be rid of them. The whole mass of these ill-sorted bands were left in the island. The men went home to their own houses ; the officers received their pay, and cum bered the streets of the capital. Only a small number of Sicilians followed the tide of invasion on the main -land, and a sample of their valour we have in the dastard who shot Colonel Dunne, their commander, because, in the sifting of the self awarded titles and brevets of these mushroom offi cers, he urged his particular objections to this one, because he had not only turned his back upon the enemy at Santa Maria, but actually bidden his sol diers to run away with him. These 2,500 epauletted blackguards at Palermo are now savage against Fanti, because "he struck down all the employes of the Sicilian Minister of War en masse ; and with the same decree he:put off all the officers with onemonth's to six month's pay, by way of a dismissal. The King's provisions for the Garibaldians at Naples do not apply to the Garibaldians south of the Faro ! " Unendurable hardships! The very worst feature in all the ug li ness o f thi s Neapolitan and Sicilian disorder is the shocking bad faith of the writers on both sides, but especially on that of the Mazzinians who usurp the name of Gari baldians. It is only yesterday I read the diatribe of one who charged F ar i n i w i th the appointment to high offices of men o f notor i ously bad character, and scarcelyinstanced one who, to my very certain knowledge, for I w as i n t h e country at t h e t i me, did not owe his n om i nat i on to the too f ac il e Gari baldi, or rather to the reckless partisans who availed themselves of the carte blanche which he, engrossed by his warlike operations, was compelled to allow them, to throw discredit on his Gevern ment, and to make sad havoc of his fair name. It is difficult to decide whether all these misstatements are'more attributable to wilful malice or to blind infatuation, for certainly all men in Naples have not lost the remembrance of things and dates, nor have they laid aside the horror with which, not Garibaldi's, but Bertani's dictatorship had filled all honest men. It can be no blame to Garibaldi if he left the Two Sicilies in the same utter disorder as he found them. His was the work of demoli tion ; that of reconstruction devolved on other hands. Wherever he advanced the Intendenti, the magistrates, and other Royal officials, for the most part, fled before him ; the g endarmes and other i guardians of public order followed n their foot steps, if they had the good luck to escape popu lar vengeance. Municipal authorities there were none in the Two Sicilies, and for three or four months nearly all the towns and provinces, and most certainly all the remote districts, were left without government of any kind. The result of the universal anarchy among a population which long iron tyranny had converted into herds of chained wild beasts may be easily imagined . Something Mi z ilit"V hoped from tbeir native supineness and ;pusillanimity. But since Garibaldi's depar ture unprincipled appeals have been and are being The swages are un made to their worst passions, STOKTING 11177'ELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.

In consequence of the depots of the Indian regi ments at Chatham having been recruited up to their required strength, orders were yesterday received at that garrison directing that recruiting for all the regiments composing the three battalions is to be discontinued, with the exception of the 77th depot. The 27th (Capt. A. W. Durnford's) Company of Royal Engineers, which was placed under orders to embark for Gibraltar several weeks since, has received final orders to be in readiness to embark early after Christmas, when it will relieve one of the companies of Royal Engineers now serving at Gibraltar. The 32d Company of Royal Engineers has been placed under the command of Capt. W. D. Frazer, and has been medically inspected, and also officially inspected at head -quarters by Col. Harness, C.B. The company is now ready to embark for St. Helena, where it will be employed in the repair of the fortifications and defences of that island. Lieut. D. C. Walker has been ordered to proceed from head-quarters, Chatham, to Wool wich, there to take the command of the sth Com pany of Royal Engineers at that station. The appointment of instructor of gunnery at the Chatham division of Royal Marines, vacant by the promotion of Lieut. .Col. Connolly, has been con ferred on Capt. D. Blyth, of that division. The following promotions will take place in the Royal Marines consequent on the death of Lieut.- Gen. Willis :—Major-Gen. Delacombe to be Lieut.- Gen., vice Willis, deceased ; Col.-Commandant A. B. Stransham to be Major-Gen., vice Delacombe, promoted; Col. and Second Commandant F. A. Campbell, to be Col.-Commandant, vice Stransham, promoted; Capt. A. D. L. Farrant to be Lieut.- Col., vice Campbell, promoted ; First Lieut. J. R. Lloydd -to be Capt., vice Farrant, promoted ; Second Lieut. Edward Lee Rose, to be First Lieut., vice Lloyd, promoted. Under the approbation of the officers command ing the Royal Artillery quartered in Plymouth Citadel, Schoolmaster Sergeant Stanton has, by the aid of Bombardier John Jenkins, who resided seve ral years in France, established within the last month a French class of 30 artillerymen; and there are now so many others anxious to acquire a know ledge of the language that a second class, equally large, is expected to be formed in January. THE VOLUNTEER MO VEMENT. The Volunteer class at llythe, which has just concluded its course of instruction, i 6 the largest that has ever been at the School of Musketry. The total number present was 96, of whom 32 are captains, 13 lieutenants, 14 ensigns, 24 non-commissioned officers, and 13 privates. The shooting of several of the best marksmen was of the highest order, especially at the longest ranges. The " figure of merit" at the lower ranges was 45.02, or just about the average for Volunteers, which for the last five courses has been 45.20. The average for the same number of courses of officers of the army is 44.06. The officers of the army, however, enjoy two great advantages in being allowed preliminary firing, by which rifles may be sighted, and because the time they are under instruction is longer than that for Volunteers. The highest figure for any one section on the present occasion was 51, and the lowest 40.1, and it is highly indicative of the intelligence and attention of these 96 men, as well as of the excellence of the system of instruc tion under General Hay, that not one of the whole num ber is left in the third class ; that is to say, either in the first or subsequent trial every one has been able to make at least 15 points in 20 shots from 150 to 300 yards. The prizes subscribed for by the members were as follows :—A Whit worth rifle, value £25, for the greatest number of points from 400 to 900 yards. This was won by Corporal Hoare, of the 9th Glocester, who (though a young man and with out any previous practice) made the very large score of 36 points. Next, a Westley Richards rifle, value £l5, for the greatest number of hits from 400 to 900 yards. This was won by Captain Macgregor, of the London Scottish, who scored 31 points in 28 hits. The third prize was a cup, value £5, for the most points from 150 to 300 yards, which was gained by Capt. Gough, of the 23d Staffordshire, who scored 32 points. On Tuesday, the class under instruction dined for the last time together at mess, when the usual loyal and complimentary toasts were given, and the varied colours of the uniforms from all parts of the kingdom made the scene one of great interest. In a short time these Volunteers will be scattered throughout the country bearing with them, every one, a very pleasant recollection of the fortnight passed at llythe. The cadet corps attached to the 7th Middlesex (Islington) Rifles have been now furnished with their arms, consisting of a short Irish constabulary smooth-bore rifle and bayo net complete, proportioned to the height of the boys, and weighing between six and seven pounds. This is the first cadet corps which has been supplied with an effective weapon, but to prevent accidents to the boys themselves or to the public the nipples of the rifles have been plugged with lead. On Wednesday last the corps marched out for the first time with their arms, preceded by the drums and fifes of the City Militia, and under the command of their drill instructor, Sergeant-Major Hornby, late of the Rifle Bri gade. They started from head-quarters at about a quar ter to three, and proceeded along the High-street, Isling ton, through the Liverpool-road, to Highbury-terrace, where they halted for a short time, returning by way of the Holloway-road to head -quarters, and, after again halting for refreshment, marched to the City-road bridge, where the thew three cheers. They band left them, the boys giving were then marched back to head-quarters and dismissed, after giving three cheers for Sergeant-Major liornby. A grea t n umber of p eo p le had assembled throughout th e li ne o f route, who cheered the boys as they passed, the ladies at t h e windows wa ving their handkerchiefs. Th e corps, which now numbers about 40, march well, and bids fair in a short time to be very efficient. The drill of the 7th Middlesex has been suspended until the Bth of January. A Volunteer ball in connexion with the corps will take place at the Freemasons' Tavern on the 23d of January. The Colchester corps having exceeded the number requi site for one company, the effective members met on Wed nesday evening and formed 2 companies of equal strength. Lieutenant Green was promoted to the command of the newly-formed company, and a meeting was called last even ing (Friday) for the nomination of the other officers. _ - On Thursday evening about 250 volunteers and their friends mustered in the Corn-exchange, Braintree, Essex, and presented to Mr. Basil Sparrow, captain-commandant of the Braintree and Halstead United Corps , a magnificent silver cup of the value of £7O as a recognition of his ser vices as captain of the above corps and a proof of the esteem in which he is held in the neighbourhood. With the countenance and support of Lord Harry Vane, 1 1SI.P. for Ilastings, and a large number of the gentry of Battle and the neighbourhood , the corps wh i c h was lag year enrolled in that town progresses most favourably. On Wednesday afternoon the corps was presented by Lady Vane and the ladies of Battle and the vicinity with hand some silver bugle, bearing the motto "Pro aris et focis and in the evening there was a grand entertainment, given by Lord Harry, in the great hall of the Abbey. Lord H. Vane presided. ARTISTIC DESIGNS FOR WATCHES.-" A number of e l\ x l e r r . . s en, new and artistic design s for tho embellishment of watches ex w hihboitchary t J ed .
