THE GAL THE MEVIOP OLIS. Yesterday, from a very early hour in the morn ing, a terrific gale of wind raged over the metropolis and suburbs, continuing nearly the whole of the day, causing, u nfortunately, the loss of more than one life and severe injury to several persons. About half-past 1 o'clock in the merging the residents of Grove-lane, Camberwell, and vicinity were alarmed bp hearing a dreadful crash, when it was discovered that a wall skirting the roadway, about 27 feet in length and nearly 15 feet high, had been forced down, toge ther with three very large trees, the latter being snapped off close to the ground. Shortly after fire o'clock in the morning, as a man named Robert Martin was passing near the Surrey Canal at Peckham, he heard a loud scream, and on looking towards whence it proceeded he perceived a woman being carried off her feet into the canal by the power of the gale, and before he could reach her she became immersed and sank. The body has not been recovered. In the Waterloo-road, near the railway station, a man named Joseph Rupert, who lived in Windsor-place, Westminster-road, was pass ing across the road, when a large chimney pot was blown from one of the housetops, and in its descent struck the poor fellow such a dreadful blow on the head that he was rendered senseless, and was taken to Westminster-hospital. The unfortunate man's jaw was dislocated, and he has a terrible wound on the skull ; he remains in the hospital. A woman, named Harriet Younger, aged 79, was also received into the hospital, suffering from a broken leg and severe injuries to the skull. At the other London hospitals there are several cases of persons injured, and i n some instances very seriously, from being struck by tiles and chimneys. In the neighbour hood of Dulwich and Sydenham the damage has been extensive; large trees and hedges were blown down and uprooted, and the roadways for several miles were strewn with broken branches, &c. The fury of the gale forced the roof off a handsome con servatory attached to a gentleman's residence in the Dulwich-road. The trees and shrubs in Battersea and Kennington-parks have received much damage, and several large trees were uprooted at Wands worth and Putney. The wharfs along the banks of the river have more or less been damaged from the fury of the storm. Two barges were stove in near Battersea-bridge, being both driven on shore and extensively damaged. A steamer belonging to the Iron Boat Company received some damage to her head by being forced by the gale against the arch of Waterloo-bridge nearest the pier. Several other casualties took place, and the damage done by the fury of the gale is very great. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Yesterday heavy gales prevailed from the south ward, veering suddenly east and west, with much rain, and in the evening the tide rose unusually high. The fishermen were compelled to drop their nets and run into the Sound, and the Irish steamers were obliged to remain in port. A schooner, with all hands, is reported to be lost at Berryhead. At Livermead, Torquay, Kings teignton, and Turf the turnpike-roads are greatly injured by the overflow. The sea broke in on the South Devon Railroad at four different points. On the river Teign in front of Delamere-house the granite coping is washed down for 200 yards. Above East Teignmouth both sea walls are broken for a quarter of a mile. At Langston Paint between Dawlish and Starcross there is another breach ; and above Starcross,between Turf and Powderham, the embankment is destroyed for more than half a mile, and the ballast is washed from under th• This morning the London mail was nearly five hours late. This evening trains passed over the line from Plymouth to Da.wlish, and the directors are hoping to renew the entire traffic on Friday. PORTLAND, OCT. 26. All day yesterday and more particularly last night blew one of the most tremendous gales of wind, accompanied by a terrific sea, that has ever been experienced on this part of the coast. The wind commenced blowing strongly in the early part of the day from the south-southeast, and gra dually increased in violence until two o'clock this morning, when it veered round to the west-north west, and still continues to blow with considerable force. The damage caused by the heavy seas on the great temporary timber support of the breakwater will entail very serious loss to the contractor, Mr. Leather, and will also suspend the quarrying ope rations in the convict quarries, where the material is obtained for the making of the breakwater. The greatest damage sustained is about COO yards from the shore, in the vicinity of the first pier -head, and at this point an immense gap of about 200 feet in length has been made in the support, the timber from which has been thrown on the beach in all directions. The communication to the outer or great breakwater being thus cut off, the depositing of stone must cease until the repairs have been effected. The granite pier-heads and sea-walls sustained no injury, although the waves broke upon them with awful fury; and such was -the force that the spray at times flew in immense clouds to an altitude of at least 150 feet above the masonry. In the vicinity of the second pier -head, on the other side of the opening left for the smaller entrance to the harbour, and which is at present bridged over, the damage sustained is very great. The huge timber piles and bearers are many of them displaced and thrown about in all directions. It was at this point that the lighthouse-keeper had a very narrow escape, and had it not been for his presence of mind he would probably have been washed away. A little before dark he was pro ceeding on the breakwater in order to light the lamp in the lighthouse, which is situated at the extreme end, for the guidance of vessels entering the har bour, and finding the six feet railed footpath carried away, he essayed to advance l . y-means of the longi tudinal bearers which carry the roads for the wag gons and locomotives. While crawling on one of these timbers a sea lifted it from the staging, but, fortunately, it NV as not carried away, and he man aged with some difficulty to get back again to the shore. It was now of great importance in such tempestuous weather that the light should be dis played at the end of the breakwater, and immedi ately measures were taken, by the aid of a steamer, to get the lig-Ltkeeper to his post. This was at last effected, but in accomplishing the task the boat which conveyed him from the steamer was stove in and lost ; the men scrambling over the rough stones, gained the staging, and had to remain there all night. The lighting of the lamp was truly "in the very nick of time," for a large bark which was seeking shelter in the harbour was coming down lull upon the breakwater, and would inevitably have been dashed to pieces had the lighting of the lamp been delayed but a few minutes longer. As it was, the escape was marvellous ; but the crew were at their posts, and as soon as the first glimmer of the light was seen V- e helm was put hard a-port, and the vessel saved. The sea running at the time was prodigious, and well it will be if many disasters are not heard of. A small vessel of 40 tons, the Hope, of Weymouth, while riding at anch or i n the ha ; bour, broke her eabl• and was cast upon the inner side of the breakwater, sustaining considerable dam age. The gale has now somewhat subsided, and the most strenuous means will be adopted to repair damages to the works, in order that the progress of operations may be impeded as -little as possible. The convicts usually employed in the quarrying of stone will ha removed to the great fortress now in progress, where fortunately, during the interval necessary for repairs, their services can be made available. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 26. It blew a heavy gale. from the S.E. to S.S.E. all Tuesday night at Portsmouth, accompanied by heavy rain and an extraordinary high tide in the harbour. Early this morning the wind veered to N.W., and the day broke clear and dry, but still blowing a fresh gale. As the day wore on the wind drew slightly to the westward and consider ably moderated. SUSSEX. The whole of the Sussex coast was visited by a very severe storm .on Tuesday night, which ha.' • _ done immense damage, particularly 4 Eastbourne and Hastings and between Bexhill and St. Leonards, where it has washed away nearly 200 yards of the London and Hastings line. Early in the evening a heavy gale arose from the south and south-west, continuing to increase in power till it became a perfect hurri cane, while the rain fell in torrents. Most damage has been done at Eastbourne, where one enterprising tradesman has lost property to the extent of £2OO. His name is Simmons, and he is the owner of considerable property on the Marine-parade, where several of the best houses have been seriously injured. From Mr. Simmons houses the inmates had to be carried out near mid night, some of them at the risk of their lives. The whole of the houses, or nearly all, on the seaside were also flooded, and some of the trees which in summer shade the charming walk between the Sussex Hotel and the lower part of the town were blown down. It is gratifying to know, however, that although there have bean many hairbreadth escapes no one has been killed or seriously injured. The tide was the highest known for several years, and those who witnessed it assert that beyond all question it " rolled mountains high." At Has tings, too, great damage has be6n done to property, although nobody is injured. The lower part of the town was flooded, many of the dwellings to the extent of between two and three feet. Two vessels lay close to the beach; strange to say that neither of them sustained the slightest injury. The bath ing machines, however, were much tossed about ; at Eastbourne some of them were carried into the middle of the town. Between St. Leonards and round Boxhill, as we have just said, a large por tion of the south coast line has been washed away, In consequence, all the trains up and down have been delayed about an hour each. •A great number of men have been set to work, and the necessary repairs are being done with all possible despatch. In the meantime the passengers have to walk round, and take the train which comes to relieve them. Here, as at Hastings and Eastbourne, no one has been injured. At Brighton, Lewes, Newhaven, and other places on the coast more or less damage has been done by the high winds which prevailed. DOVER, WEDNESDAY MORNING. Last night, __ during a terrific gale from the S.E., the schooner Pilot, Captain L. Jones, belonging to Milford, and bound from Havre to Hamburg, with a cargo of asphalte, went ashore off the harbour, between the Admiralty pier and the west pier-head. The Pilot was a vessel of 55 tons burden, and had left Havre on the preceding morn with a crew consisting of the captain and three sea men. Overtaken by the gale, she was running for Dover harbour to obtain shelter, when the captain, a stranger to the coast, unfortnnately mistook the lights of the Admiralty pier and the west pier-head for those indicating the entrance to the port, and, under the impression that he was steering his vessel into the mouth of the harbour, he ran her dead upon the stone-apron which lines the shore between the points in question, the harbour lying a little to the eastward. The little craft broke up almost im mediately, and before the slightest assistance could be rendered the lives of the captain and two of the seamen—John Murray and Thomas Cobbin—had paid the penalty of this error. The fourth man was recovered from the wreck, and conveyed to the Dover Sailors' Home, where every attention was paid him, and, with the exception of a few bruises, he is:unhurt. Two of the bodies of the poor fellows who were drowned have been picked up in the bay this morning, and have been identified as the bodies of Murray and , Cobbin, and they now await the coroner's inquest. The captain's body has not yet been found. After breaking up portions of the wreck drifted into the harbour, at the mouth of which the hull still lies. The effects of the gale are seen all along the sea front. The asphalt pro menade in front of Waterlo-crescent has been en tirely torn up by the violence of the sea, and the windows of some of the houses have been blown in. Other casualties are reported between this and Hythe, but particulars have not yet been gathered. A very heavy sea is still running. LIVERPOOL. During Tuesday night and all yesterday morning a strong gala from the north-west, accompanied with sleet and rain, prevailed at Liverpool. In the course of the day the clipper White Star, for Mel bourne, got adrift and fouled the Gladiator, for India; eventually she was made fast to her Majes ty's ship Hastings until the necessary assistance could be obtained. A flat foundered off Seacomb, and two men and a boy were drowned. The screw steamship City of Baltimore and the North Ame rican, the former for New York and the latter for Canada, which were to have left to-day, are still in the liver. The fine screw steamer Semaphore, which left Belfast on Tuesday morning, full of cat tle and pigs, below and on deck, had a most awful night of it, and lost a number overboard. Her dccks, as she lay alongside the landing-stage, pre sented a most pitiable spectacle, being covered with dead and dying cattle, which lay in the most extra ordinary postures, with horns broken, and necks and limbs distorted; life appeared to have been washed out of them. Here and there were pigs which had been crushed to death, while others with but little life in them were lying close to the car cases, endeavouring to gain warmth where warmth there was none. The hold was full of dead beasts. The screw steamship Royal Charter, which was reported at Queenstown on Monday, after a passage of 58 days, from Melbourne, has not yet arrived here. During the day crowds were assembled in the neighbourhood of St. George's Church, watch ing the tall steeple, which was said to be oscillating, and as it is known not to be very firm, some appre hension was expressed. At 5 p.m. yesterday, the gale had subsided, and the glass was rising. BRIGHTON. During the last two days Brighton has been visited by some extraordinary high tides and severe gales, which extended along the whole coast, the eastward having experienced the greatest severity. The change in the weather took place on Sunday, during which day the rain descended heavily, but cleared off towards midnight, when the wind in creased in fury, and on Monday morning was accom panied by smart snow showers and loud peals of thunder; and the wind continued rising till the storm reached its height about 11 o'clock last night when the tide was just upon the turn. The sea at that time presented a grand sight, and hundreds of persons were attracted to the cliffs to witness it and the exertions of the boatmen in securing the vari ous small craft which line the beaqh. They were successful gmerally, but several of their boats were completely broken up; and the waves, which ran higher than has been known for many years, have washed away a large portion of the lower western esplanade, and somewhat damaged the railings on the east side of the first tower on the Chain-pier. The gale continued throughout this morning, and but one vessel, which had carried away her main mast,was descried in the offing, but was not signal ling for assistance; but a vessel was blown ashore at Portobello Gap, between Brighton and Rotting dean, shortly before 12 o'clock last night. She proved to be the Ariadne, with dried fruit, from Malaga for Leith, the chief portion of her cargo consisting of almonds. Her crew consisted of three men and a boy, all of whom were saved. From what we can learn, she had formerly been used as a schooner-rigged yacht, but had lately been em ployed as a trader. Considerable damage has been sustained at Eastbourne, and also at Worthing. At the latter place the sea washed into the middle of the to ND, reaching the Town-hall, which is more than 200 yards above high-water mark. Mr. Ben nett, of the Steyne Hotel, has experienced a loss of £3OO by damage to wines, and a similar result would have occurred to the Marine Hotel, but it was averted by the precautionary measures which had been taken• HARTLEPOOL- Four days of keen frost with a nipping north east wind was followall yesterday, at Hartlepool, by a sudden and delightful change to almost spring weather, the wind having changed to the south-east. In the eventng it increased in violence, and towards midnight the storm raged with great intensity, continuing till about 4 o'clock. The gale was atits height' at 2 o'clock, and those who witnessed it describe it as being the most awful that has been seen on this coast for many years. A large number of light colliers were in the neighbourhood, together with some laden ves sels at the time the storm commenced, and they all ran for this port for shelter. The consequence of so many running in together resulted in consider able damage to almost every vessel. The first ves sels that entered, instead of running to the head of the harbour, took up their positions alongside the quay, and those that followed were obliged to run aground on the south side of the harbour. About a dozen lay closely packed together, and this morn ing presented a distressed appearance, with yards, bowsprits, and jibbooms carried away. The brig Margaret, of Colchester, lost mainmast, bowsprit, and jibboom. On the mussel-beds, between the jetty and the commissioner's ferry-landing, the fol lowing vessels were driven,—some of them above the ordinary high-water mark,—all of which re ceived more or less damage from collision with each other :—The Trio, of Whitby; the James Dowell, of Newcastle ; the John Elliotson, of Whitstable ; the Fly and the Beeswing, both of Whitby ; the Happy Family, of Whitstable ; the Robinson and the Margaret, both of Hartlepool ; and the Auguste, of Lynn. On 'Middleton Sands, near the jetty, the brigs Atlas, Wilcher, and Isabella, Bemm, of Whit by; and near the north pier at West Hartlepool, the Ann, of Stockton. At West Hartlepool, the screw steamer Admiral Cator, Paxton, master, of that port, from Rotterdam, with general cargo, when entering the harbour, struck the south pier on her larboard bow, and immediately began to fill. Her engines were reversed to back her off, and then put on full speed again, which was scarcely aw done before she sank, the water flowing above her deck. At low water she is un covered, and she is now being unloaded. The brig Severn, Richinson, of West Hartlepool, was driven into a bight in the basin, and where she did con siderable injury to the pier and groynes, and then was carried across the basin in the south corner upon the stones. The brigs Eleanor and the Mecca, of Whitby, were also driven into corners between the piers and the groynes, and received consider able damage, the latter losing foremast and bow sprit, and the hull heing completely doubled up. The brig Hawkhill, of Whitby, was driven on to the Black Rocks near the Hartlepool pier, where she wiil become a total wreck. We are sorry to have to record the loss of two lives in connection with these casualties. The schooner Wells, of Lynn, went ashore on Seaton Sands, near the life boat house, and two of the crew, the master and mate, were unfortunately drowned. This morning scarcely a vestige of the vessel was visible. About a dozen vessels were cast high and dry alongside the fishermen's cottages in the West Hartlepool basin, and great difficulty, will be experienced in getting them off. VIE SUN, LONDON THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 185 g. BRISTOL. Bristol was visited on the afternoon and evening of Tuesday with a heavy storm, accompanied by a violent gale from the east, shifting south, and bringing with it a rise in the temperature after the severe frosts of the preceding days. The mercury fell fast, and at 8 p.m., stood (at 228 feet above the sea) at 28.608 inches, being the lowest since Oct. 8, 1857, when it was 28.529. The rain gauge of the Bristol Waterworks Company indicated a fall of seventy-five hundredths in the 24 hours ending at 10 a.m. yesterday morning. EXETER. Exeter and many parts of the county of Devon were visited with a tremendous storm on Tuesday. Torrents of rain fell in the day ; the Exe overflowed its banks, the valley of the Clyst was flooded, and property in many places was destroyed. The rain was succeeded in the night by a terrific gale. This, in conjunction with a spring tide, has seriously damaged the South Devon line, which runs for a long distance in close proximity to the sea. It is re ported that several breaches in the line betwcon Exeter and Teignmouth have occurred, the result of which is that " all traffic was suspended until further orders" on Wednesday. A correspondent, writing from Totnes, states that the tide was so high that the streets were inundated. THE REVIVALS IN SCOTLAND. The Ayr Advertiser says :—"Prayer meetings in connection with the revival movement continue to be frequently held at Girvan, and are well attended. Numbers, especially of the old, left greatly dissatis fied that a public exhibition had not been made, as expected, of a young silly-minded girl who had attracted crowds of people during the day. The girl, who usually lives in the parish of Colmonell, was visiting at Crosshill, when, as report has it, she was 'stricken down.' On Sunday she travelled to Girvan on her way home; and on Monday some revivalists persuaded her to remain for a day or two, that others might benefit by her presence. Ru mours of the case spread like wild-fire, and the house she lodged in was soon crammed to suffoca tion, one of the beds in the apartment being actually destroyed by the crush. At one time she was brought to the door, and held up as a spectacle to the crowd outside. She was afterwards taken to several other houses and exhibited. We are in. formed by several persons, male and female, who saw the girl, that there seemed nothing remarkable in her appearance beyond a certain stupid or sleepy look, which those who know her say has always been peculiar to her. She seldom spoke, except when pressed to do so. On being urged to address the people around her she reluctantly made the attempt, but to little purpose. She engaged in prayer with much firmness and distinctness of articulation ; but the words were recognised by some who knew her as part of her father's grace, which she had bcen accustomed to repeat for the amusement of her acquaintances, imitating his tone and manner. A visitor asked her how she felt, when she replied that there was a weight abo•it her breast, that she was not well, but was getting better. The friend said she ought to go home, but was told that she had been advised to remain for some days 'as an example to others.' On being asked in what respect she was an example she seemed puzzled, and made no answer. Tier ac quaintances affirm that she is capable of playing greater pranks than those referred to, and that she was always reckoned a gawkic,' and an oddity.' After the day's proceedings she partook of supper, sweeties, and a little porter. She then retired to rest, and slept comfortably. A new case was re ported on Tuesday—that of an Irish girl of good character, resident in Doune Park. She had been in the company of the other girl on Monday even ing, and being of very nervous temperament she became excited. During her sleep she sobbed and cried. When she awoke she told of a vision she had had. She was weak all day. This case created little sensation, a very general opinion having ob tained among all classes that the previous case was a silly hoax. In the afternoon two more eases occurred. A mother and daughter had their hearts changed miraculously (at least so they declare), and they are fervently praying that they may have visions. In connection with the revivals at 'Freon a most distressing case has occurred. On Friday Mrs. Cook, wife of Mr. William Cook, joiner, was missing. Search was immediately made through out the town and neighbourhood, but in vain. About mid-day two boys, who were in a boat be tween Troon and the Black Rock, discovered her body floating on the water. They came ashore and told the father of one of them, who, with another, went out and brought it in amidst a great concourse of people who were assembled. She had we understand, been greatly distressed in mind since the revival amongst us, and could find no peace. She had been very uneasy through part of Thursday night. Tier husband had spoken to her in the course of it. They were both in bed, and he had fallen asleep, but cannot say at what hour, and when he awoke slic was not there. It is not easy to imagine his feelings, and impossible to describe them, when he made the discovery. The result was as stated above, and it has cast a deep gloom over the whole place. The unfortunate woman has left two little children to mourn her melancholy end." Campbelton has been in commotion this week by the revival meetings which have absorbed all other topics. During the day, and a. 7; it approached towards evening, groups of women and girls may be seen, standing at doors and at the; corners of the streets, excitedly discussing the oermrences of those' meetings, which, during the week have been chiefly in the Free churches, and which have been every night crowded to suffocation. 'There have been many stricken ones ; or more, properly speaking, awakenings, chiefly among wf.)men, servant girls, and youths, with a few instances of young men, with others who have led a loose life in town ; and if cryings, faintings, and groanings, and a confidence in the convicted ones when they come out of them that they are now holy and blessed, and have no more to dread, be a sure sign of conversion, then we have had them all this week. Those who fainted, or were otherwise awakened, were conducted to the Free School ad joining the churches, and there attended by the ministers and others. From the immense number of people congregated ia the churches, the air be comes heated to a high degree ; so much so that many parties, even strong men, were compelled to go out, and could not stand it. The meetingshave been generally kept up to a late hour, and it is no uncommon thing at two, three, and four o'clock in the morning to hear parties of young men and women going through the streets singing those re vival hymns, of which NYC have heard not a few complaints at being thus disturbed at such un timely hours.— West Iliphland Journal. ITALIAN INDEPENDENCE AGAINST IHE " 71Z.EA Ti'." (From a Correspondent of the Times.) In perusing the summary treaty signed at Zurich a few days ago itisnot necessary to be an Italian to feel a rising indignation as one paragraph succeeds another. Two potentates, out of 20 who rule over the European family, have taken upon themselves to dispose of the destiny of 25 million souls. Di vested of thejargon and technicalities of diplomatic art the case is simply this—a great military chief wrests from an hereditary despot by superior force a province containing 3,000,000 inhabitants, and the rivals for empire agree together to sell the spoil to a third potentate for 10 millions of money. Not satisfied with this, the two Imperial traffickers in States and peoples pass the limits of the two pro vinces, which the right of conquest gave to the one, and the right of defeat to the other, and they enter States which in no sense belong to them, and they declare that they expressly reserve the rights of Sovereigns who have fled from their ducal thrones ignoring the rights of the people, who claim to be free from a foreign yoke. The dismay which the publication of this Treaty will cause in Lombardy and in Central Italy can only be imagined by those who have visited those countries, and witnessed the joy of the people at their newly acquired inde pendence. The liberty of which for four months the Central States have tasted the sweets (united with a thousand virtues and but one crime) they will easily relinquish. The league, which includes the Romagna, is prepared to take the field against any enemy who may attempt to reimpose the yoke which the firmness of the people and the wisdom of their rulers have shaken off. The prudence and moral courage, the harmony and order, the peace fulness and patriotism with which this bloodless revolution has been effected, deserve to be recorded and held up to the admiration of Europe. The fol lowing particulnrs, therefore, from an eyewitness may be interesting : TUSCANY. No sooner were the preliminaries of the Treaty of Villafranca known in Tuscany than the Govern ment in Council, the only authoritative body left by the fugitive Grand Duke, took measures to calm the apprehensions of the people. The memorable proclamation of the Emperor, as horn they acknow ledged as the Liberator of Italy, encouraged the Provisional Governments of the Duchies to proceed with the formation of their constituent assemblies. Napoleon M. said to the Italians, in his famous speech at Milan, " That Providence sometimes favoured peoples as well as individuals by affording them an opportunity of making them selves great all at once, but on this condition only, that they should know how to avail them selves of the occasion." The remarkable man who spoke these remarkable words will surely be the last to injure those who acted with so much mode ration upon his counsel. Two modes of forming a representative assembly lay before the Government Council (Consulta di Governo)—the one was to ap peal to universal suffrage; the other to take the Electoral Law of 1848 far a basis. The Council preferred the latter for several reasons; it had this special advantage among the rest, that it was the Electoral Law promulgated by the Grand Ducal Government when the Constitution of 1848 was conceded, but which was subsequently revoked by bad faith. It was, therefore, a law to which the friends of the absent Grand Duke could not rea sonably object, and was above suspicion. It placed the constituency upon a broad basis. 1. Every freeholder in an electoral district, who paid L 1 a year land-tax, had the suffrage. 2. All the learned professions, including the clergy and down to the apothecaries of five years' standing, had a vote, in dependently of any rates or taxes they might or might not pay. 3. All heads of houses who paid not less than 10 lire, or 6s. Bd., as a family tax. Some molifications were made in the Electoral Law of 1818, but generally tending to extend the suffrage ; but the result of the application of this law was that for a population of 1,806,940 souls there were 68,311 electors, nearly double the num ber which obtained in the elections of 1848, and exceeding in its proportion the electoral body in Piedmont, being one elector for every 261 of the population. It is about equal to the constituency of Great Britain and Ireland. Sunday, the 7th of Aug., was the day fixed upon fora general election. The votes were to be taken by ballot. Many termed citi zens feared that it would be a day of riot and dis order. It passed off with the utmost tranquillity. 35,240 electors actually voted, a large number when it is considered that the whole subject was new to the people, and that the population of the pea santry, or those who dwell in the country is 1,449,000 out of 1,806,990. The Tuscan peasantry, however, must not be classed in the same category with the population of the rural districts in France, as there are but few secluded hamlets or villages in Tuscany. Every traveller must have observed in passing through that smiling land that there is very little of a scattered population. The country people, as they are called, live in clusters of habita tions which crown every bill and descend into the valleys, so as to make the whole country appear like the continued suburbs of a city. The votes of the Tuscan agriculturists, therefore, who have access to sources of information, are fully equal in intelli gence to those of the town inhabitants in the pro vinces of France, and are worth more than the uni versal suffrage of 30,000,000 ill-educated peasants. The result of the election of the 7th of August was a Representative Assembly of 172 members, a faithful and true representation of the Tuscan people. In that assembly were-found two princes (Strozzi and Corsini), one baron (Itecasoli), 23 marcp.ises and cormts, 12 ca.valieri, 6 military officers, 10 pro fessors and literary men, 4 ecclesiastics, 8 magis trates, 31 advocates, 45 doctors in laws and sciences, 2 engineers, 5 bankers and manufacturers, 20 private individuals of note, thus representing every class of the community, for it is to be observed that many of the noblemen are large proprietors of land, and therefore represent the agricultural interests. Will any one but a sworn enemy of Italian independence dare to say that these are but the doings of a fac tion, and that the people desire to have their Grand Duke once again in the Pitti Palace ? Something has been said about an appeal to universal suffrage ; the Governments de facto of Tuscany and the other Duchies are ready to adopt that test, and, confident of the result, they will, if the great Powers agree to abide by the issue, place before the whole people the name's of two candidates for the sovereignty— Ferdinand IV., Grand Duke of Tuscany, and Victor Emmanuel, King of Sardinia. No one doubts that out of the urn of universal suffrage would come out the " II Re galant'uomo." The Tuscan Parliament met in the Grand Saloon called Dei Cinquecento, and on the 16th of August unanimously declared, "That the Austro-Lorraine dynasty, which on the 27th of April, 1859, aban doned Tuscany without leaving any Government and repaired to the enemy's camp, has thereby ren dered itself absolutely incompatible with the Jr& r and happiness of Tuscany; declares further that there are no means whatever by which the said dynasty can be re-established and maintained with outl and inevitable outrage to th e di gn ity o f th e coun try, without offending n coosfedaag the e n e t t l• population, without yo, that se a e t i n t g h e the u strpub lie _ Lorraine dyna s t y canno t b 3 peace co n ti nua ll y di s t ur b ed, and without injury p to er l p t e a t l u y a . Declares,recalled nor received to reign again in Tuscany." On the 20th of the same month the Assembly de clared it " to be the fixed res o l u ti on of Tuscany to form part of a strong constitutional kingdom, under the sceptre of ding Victor Emmanuel." Tho Tuscau Representative Assembly cited his torical precedents for these .nets; they appealed to the parallel case of James 11. abandoning his throne and the English Parliament declaring the throne vacant, and calling another Sovereign to reign over England ; they cited the case of France, where ex periments were made twice of the two houses of the Bourbons, but neither of them satisfying the wants and wishes of France, the people chose another Im perial ruler, who now reigns "by the grace of God and the national will." Tuscany recalled the Lor raine dynasty in 1849, but 10 years' experience has proved that an Austrian dynasty is incompatible with the peace and prosperity of the land. Through the medium of Leopoldo Galeotti, who speaks the sentiments of the Government in his able " consi derations," they cite Vattel in their favour. "An independent nation," says that great authority on international law, " recognises no judges. If the body of the nation declares the King to have for feited his right by the abuse he has chosen tmake of it, and the nation deposes him, it can do ffwith justice when its grievances are well founded, and it belongs to no other power to pass judgment upon it. The personal ally of such a King ought not then to as sist him against the nation which has made use of its right in deposing him. If the ally should under take to do so he would commit a wrong upon that nation."—Proit des Gens, lib. 2, cap. 12. MOLENA. But if the Grand Duke of Tuscany is fairly de posed after having abandoned his States, and left them without any organised executive, much more has the fugitive Grand Duke of Modena forfeited all his rights to reign over the Modenese provinces. The Dukes of Este reigned by the will of the free municipalities, who stipulated for their ancient rights and privileges. The Grand Dukes broke faith with these corporate bodies until the French Revolution swept them away; the provinces of Mo dena made part of the kingdom of Italy under the ffrst Napoleon, and were not dissatisfied; but after the fall of that Emperor Modena and its States were handed over as spoil to an Austrian Prince who was the son of the late heiress of the house of Este. The reign of Francisco IV., whose first act was to abolish the Codo Napoleon and all the new regula tions, was marked throughout by imprisonments, deaths, confiscations, and proscriptions in the name of religion or State policy. The son and successor, Francesco V., like his father, governed by the aid of Austrian bayonets, and was the declared enemy of all change and improvement ; he was carried away in the storm of 1848, brought back by Aus trian soldiers, and promised the people free institu tions ; but, like his brother of Tuscany, he revoked his solemn pledges. He fought against Piedmont in the War of Independence with the 4,000 volunteers which the people supplied him with to fight for the liberties of their common country. At the first re port of the defeat of Austria at Montebello he fled, and took with him out of the public treasury 690,000 livres, and left the public demands for others to meet. He took away with him the gold, the silver, and the jewels of the Crown, the gems and medals of the museums, the valuable codices and most precious manuscripts of the libraries. Thus equipped, he repaired to the Austrian camp—not to fight, but in time to witness the discomfiture at Sol ferino. In the face of Europe it is not possible that this Prince should be restored by force from without to the throne he has forsaken and the people ho has wronged. 90,000 votes of the people, being almost universal suffrage, have closed I the gates of Modena against the House of Este for I ever. THE CHAINMAKERS' STRIKE. On Monday last, at the Borough Police Court, Wolverhampton, five chainmakers, in the employ of Messrs. Bayliss and Co., of Monnnre Green, named Watts, Trowman, Talbot, Tipton, and James, were summoned for haVing, on Friday, October 14, unlawfully neglected their work with out,lawful excuse, a2d before the expiration of their contract. The case had reference to the impending chain makers' strike, and had been adjourned from the previous Monday, when another workman, named Dunn, summoned on .a similar charge, consented to return to his work and pay expenses. Mr. 11. Underhill appeared for Messrs. Bayliss and Co., and Mr, John Smith, of Birmingham, for the defendants. It appeared from Mr. Underhill's statement that the men were engaged with the understanding that before a separation took place between themselves and their masters they should give or receive four teen days' Rotice. They were paid at so much per cwt. for the chains they made, " best" work being paid for a higher rate than " common" work. On the day in question Dunn was engaged in doing common work, but seeing ."r.P.K. best" on the iron he was using he at once jumped to the conclu sion that he was entitled to the best price. His error was explained to him, but not being satisfied he " struck." However, he returned on Saturday and found a summons out against him, and on Monday consented, to pay expenses and return to work, but the others refused to pay expenses. They never theless returned to work. But the defendants could have no reason for striking, inasmuch as when Dunn struck they were making common chains with iron the mark on which could not have deceived them into the notion that they were doing best work. However, they struck work on Friday, and went to Dudley to consult the secretary to the Trades Union. They returned on Saturday, when they found they had been summoned for their con duct. Re (Mr. Underhill) would not ask the bench to impose any punishment on the defen dants, the simple question being whether they could neglect the service of their masters when they chose, and to obtain an order for the payment of the costs in the case, _ Mr. Smith suggested that as the summonses had been issued hastily against the defendants, and in order that no breach might be opened between the men and their masters, he should not ask for the costs. Mr. Underhill replied that as the desire of the men was to gain a victory over their masters, and not simply to save half-a-crown each, he must de cline to accede to the suggestion. Mr. Bayliss then deposed that he engaged the defendants, and although nothing was said at the time about notice, there was a general understand ing in the trade that notice to leave must be given on the part of the master or servant desiring to se parate from the other. The men had once previous to the time in question left his service on strike, but had previously given 14 days notice. The defend ants neglected their work on Friday, leaving chains unfinished that were required. Cross - examined—The men were paid when the chains they had made were weighed. He paid them money on Saturday last. They were paid by the piece, and worked when they liked. He had discharged men without notice who had done their work improperly. Re-examined—The men said they couldnot stand six days work a week, and theygenerally " played" on Mondays. Witness did not allow them to dis continue working at any time, except when the work on which they were engaged was not wanted. Benjamin Whitmore, the prosecutors' foreman, said that Trowman told him, in the presence of the other defendants, on Friday week, that they had agreed to strike; they (meaning the complainants) had - been trying to get Dunn to work best iron for common ; and that they did not xican to work any more till the matter was decided. Mr. Smith contended that no contract had been proved under the statute, and said further that if there had been an offence committed the complain ants had condoned it, by paying the men after the committal of the alleged offence. Reverting to the first point, Mr. Smith said that to bring the offence within the meaning of the clause of the act under which the proceedings were taken it must be proved that the defendants were hired servants, for a specified time, of the complainants, which was not the fact in this case. The magistrates, after consulting a short time said they were of opinion that the defendants were legally bound to give notice before leaving their service,, and not having done so thzy were liable to the consequences of their conduct. Mr. Underhill hereupon said that the bench hav ing deeiCed that the defendants had neglected their service, and that the complainants were justified in taking the course they had done, he did not ask that the defendants should be saddled with any costs. Mr. Smith thanked Mr. Underhill for the course he had pursued, saying that it had saved him the trouble of carrying the matter furth er . H owever, a case embodying the same points was now before the Court of Queen's Bench. • The parties then left the court. THE COAL MINERS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.— The coal miners of South Lanci.,3ltire are holding special delegate meetings at stated periods, for the purpose, as they declare, of taking measures to im prove the miners' condition. They feel, they say, that the want of education is not only a degradation to them, but it is also a terrible accessory to the sacrifice of their lives. They find the irregularity of the hours of labour is detrimental to them, the long day at one time and the short day at another havint , a tendency to establi s h i rregu l ar it y i n th e i r ellaxac t lers and pursuits. This system is therefore to be repudiated, as the certain precursor of lament able results. They also find the great disparity in the measuring of their coal to be an evil, giving dissatisfaction to their employers, being the stum bling-block to the establishment of an equality of wages, without which broils, conflicts, and destitu tion must ever exist. To obviate the evils that spring out of ignorance, they ask, in the forthcom ing Act for the Regulation of Collieries, for a coin pulsory measure of education ; and to thwart the effects of the irregular and long-hour system they ask for an Eight Hours Bill. They seek to have their material weighed, instead of being regu lated by unjust measures as at present. They pur pose preparing petitions to Parliament to have these point introduced into the new act. THE STRIKE OP LOOMERS AND TWISTERS AT BLACKEURN.—During the past week Messrs. Hop wood and Sons arranged to give their loomers, twisters, &e., at Nova Scotia, who were out on strike, the advance sought, and consequently they have resumed work. The same class of operatives lately in the employ of the same firm, at the Prop field Mill, Grimshaw-park, are still out on strike, as also are those of Messrs. Harrison and Co., at Highfield Mill, the respective manufacturers refusing to pay them at the advanced rate. At a meeting of the operatives, held on Monday night at the 'Montague Arms Inn, King-street, it was re ported that upwards of £l2 had been collected in support of the turn-outs during the week. It was also stated that to-morrow the operatives in the employ of Mr. Carr, Cleaver-street, whose notice would expire that day, will come out on strike if Mr. Carr refuses to give the advance of 7 per cent. solicited. A deputation from Captain Graham's Mill, Livesey, reported that the notice would ex pire this week, and that as their employer declined to give them the advance they should come out on strike. The meeting urged them to do so. A levy was then made in support of the operatives on strike, and the meeting separated. Mr. Jacob Pea cock, the secretary to the Blackburn Operative Power-loom Weavers' Association, has tendered his resignation to the board of directors, who have accepted it.—Manchester Guardian. LOSS OF THE JAMES CARSON. We (Bombay Gazette, Sept. 21) have much plea sure in publishing the following extract from the log of the ship Marathon, of Newcastle, Capt. C. Wilson, which vessel arrived at Bombay on the 19th inst., detailing the rescue of the crew of the James Carson, Capt. J. W. Barry, from Greenock to Bom bay, abandoned at sea on the 6th July : " On sth July, in lat. 24 20 S., long. 27 7 W., encountered strong gales and a heavy cross sea. At 7 a.m. the officer of the watch reported a sail bear ing down upon us, with a signal of distress hoisted. At 8 a.m. she came within hail, and proved to be the James Carson, of Belfast, bound from Greenock to Bombay, reporting themselves to be in great dis tress, their vessel having sprung a leak, and being unable to keep her free. I immediately assured them that I would render every assistance in my power, but the gale was too heavy, and the sea too high, to attempt anything that day. In the mean time I ordered.all hands to remain on deck, and made every possible preparation to guard against any accident or loss of life happening to the crew in boarding us. Strong warps were run upon deck, and a sufficient number of fenders provided to prevent their boats from being stove in ; good boat tackles were rove ; room was also made in the cabins, forecastle, and hold, for the accommodation of the officers and crew. My officers and men used their utmost exertions, andby noon everything was prepared. I endeavoured to keep my ship in as favour able a position as possible during the day, so as to be able to give prompt assistance if necessary, as the James Carson appeared to have sustained serious damage, being heavily strained, and her copper off in several places. " 6th July—Weather more moderate ; sea fall ing. At seven a.m. the chief officer of the James Carson came off in their lifeboat, and reported that the ship was rapidly sinking, and that they could no longer remain on board with safety. I assured him that I was fully prepared to render every assist ance in getting his crew on board (being 31 in num ber, all told). I requested that they would endea vour to save some provisions, if possible, as the in crease to our number would be considerable, and as we had the longest part of our passage still before us. I then bore down under the lee of the sinking vessel, and commenced to get their crew on board. But few provisions could be saved, on account of the:heavy sea ; even the little we succeeded in sav ing had to be sent on in the boat, and hauled on board through the sea. Their men being quite ex hausted, I ordered their boat to be manned by my own crew, who volunteered to a man. I then selected the third officer, boatswain, and a boat's crew, to bring off the captain and those remaining on board, and at noon succeeded in taking off all hands (31, officers and men), without accident, but in a very weak and exhausted state, and as there was every appearance of continued heavy weather, finding that nothing more could be done, I ordered the ship to be put upon her course. " On the 20th Aug., in lat. 24 deg. 48 min. S., long. 55 deg. 53 min. E., boarded the ship Mel bourne, bound from Bombay to Liverpool, whose captain agreed to take a few of the wrecked crew ; and Captain Barry, with three of his crew, was placed on board." The following well-deserved address has been presented to Captain Wilson and his crew, by the rescued men : " Address to Captain C. Wilson and the Officers and Crew of the ship Marathon, of Newcastle, from the undersigned, who were rescued at sea from on board the sinking ship James Carson, of Belfast. " Having now arrived at Bombay, it is with feel ings of the deepest gratitude we beg humbly to ex press our heartfelt thanks to those who were the means, under the hands of a Divine Providence, of saving so many of their fellow-creatures from a watery grave. " We must, however, in the first place, refer to that memorable day, the sth of July, 1859, when the ship Marathon was disclosed to our view, and while yet on board the sinking ship James Carson we were making, as it were, a last struggle and effort to save our lives by working the pumps, to keep the ship as long as possible above water, entertaining a feeble hope we might providentially reach the nearest land, or fall in with a friendly sail to come to our assistance. Under such critical circumstances we were placed, and even hope had almost ceased to exist, when an All-seeing Eye, who had kept watch over us, sent the good ship Marathon in our way ; the gale at this time being so strong, and the sea running so high, it was found we could not do more than come close to the Marathon and hail her. " On our captain intimating to Capt. Wilson our perilous situation, namely, that the ship was sink ing, his noble reply was one which we shall ever remember—that he would stay by us, and do all possible in his power. That he has done so we can now with pleasure testify, as he ,has fully and in every sense of the word verified that statement. " On the gale abating, and after the endurance of a night's fearful suspense, lest our last apparent hope should not be realised, we were enabled to communicate with the Marathon, and in reply - the report came on board that everything was being done, and all preparation going on to receive us on board with safety, which was most happily effected. " Then came the real hearty welcome from Capt. Wilson, his officers and crew, each and every one making inquiry as to our wants, and offering and bestowing on all what was deemed requisite for mutual comfort. During our stay on board the Marathon since, this kindness and attention has not in any way diminished, but, if possible, has increased to such an extent that it is with feelings of regret we are forced to part from each other. " Although necessarily obliged to be deprived of their full allowance of provisions and water, caused by the large increase of 31 in number received on board additional to her own crew, never was one dissenting voice heard, but, on the contrary, cheer fully did they submit when all were put on the same footing ; and as if proud of haying it in their power so to do, they supplied many other personal comforts of which we were not possessed when we came on board. " We cannot, however, overlook the fact, and re mark that Capt. C. Wilson has been instrumental previously in saving two other ships' -companies, the present being the third case, and consider that for these reasons he has now attained an enviable position, and one well worthy of imitation, feeling assured his name will ever be warmly cherished by those with whom he has come more immediately in contact, as also by all who may hear of his gallant and humane conduct. " Of his general character, we trust it will not be considered out of place to say we hold him in high estimation as a warm Mend, a thorough seaman, unassuming, and full of human sympathy, blended with a real Christian demeanour. " In conclusion, we can only wish Capt. Wilson, his officers, and crew, every success in this life, and may they long enjoy such goodly happiness as we fervently hope may attend them in all their under takings, and a blessed eternity await them here after. " Signed on behalf of the officers and crew of the late ship . James Carson. " THOMAS HUNTER, Chief Officer. " HENRY RREY➢IBORGE, 2d Officer. " JOHN McEWING, Passenger. " Bombay, September, 1859."
