Then—it will be remembered — Lord PALMERSTON had occasion to eulogise in no stinted terms of praise that Volunteer Movement which has already brought together in defence of these islands, in corps thickly clustered through every shire of the Kingdom, but very little short of a grand aggregate of 200,000 riflemen ! Lord PAL MERSTON had occasion, on Friday, to eulogise this movement, and to insist upon the necessity of in every way furthering the development of our in sular defences, both by sea and by land, against the possibility of invasion—the Noble Viscount had to do this on Friday evening last without in any way wounding the amour propre of that Ambassador from the Emperor of the FRENCH, M. le Comte DE PERSIGNY, who, if not in an unpre• cedented, certainly in a most unusual, manner was invited to attend (for the express purpose, of course, of listening to these among other remarks), invited to attend through the agency of the noble lord her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Nothing certainly of this kind tended last night to enhance the difficulty of the Premier's task in com menting in a few flowing words upon a var i e t y o f topics more or less vitally affecting the interests of the general community. Around the hospitable board of the Worshipful Company of the Salters in the old hail of that ancient company in St. Swithin's-lane, in the city of London, there were happily for once not present any of the leading members of the Diplomatic Corps. So that while foreign affairs were not by any means altogether overlooked, they did not upon this one rare occasion monopolise almost ex clusively the attention of the principal speakers of the night—Ministers could in fact for once take into consideration their policy as it affects ourselves at home, as well as their policy as it affects our neighbours abroad. Three at least, and those three of the chief among the sixteen members of the Cabinet, were there ',present last night in Salters Hall to speak for themselves—and one of these three, the Prime Minister, to speak not only for himself but for his absent colleagues also vicariously. In the Ministerial Triumvirate present, the chief place was awarded as by right to the noble viscount the First Lord of the Trea sury—Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who was there also with his three brother M.P.'s for the City, Baron ROTHSCHILD, Sir JAMES DUKE, and Mr. R. W. CRAWFORD, responding in his capacity as one of London's four representatives—the Duke of So- MERSET, who was the third Ministerial guest, re sponding for the Royal Navy, over which his grace presides as chief administrator. The most extraor dinary omission of all that we have to note in the proceedings of yesterday at this banquet at the old Salters' Hall was the scarcely com prehensible fact that in replying to the toast of the Royal Navy, as First Lord of the Ad miralty, his Grace the Duke of SOMERSET did not at least avail himself, however passingly, of that opportunity (upon that day !) of uttering some few words of respectful and reverential allusion to the g:orious hero who but a few hours previously had been solemnly buried by his friends—not by the Government, not by his country—in Westminster Abbey ! Not a syllable of homage had England's First Lord of the Admiralty to proffer to the memory of that dauntless sailor, THOMAS COCHRANE, Earl of DUNDONALD ! Was it shame that sealed the Duke of SOMERSET upon this head —par ticularly in the presence of his two col leagues, but more particularly in the presence of one of them, the chief of them, Lord PALMERSTON ? It is certainly all of a piece —it is certainly all in perfect keeping that this great man should have been borne to his very grave and deposited there, without any concession in his regard from " the powers that be" in the way, we will not say of anything like magnanimity, but in the way absolutely of common decency and common gratitude. As it is, the history of Lord DUN DONALD'S matchless career is now consistent throughout. It is the history of a man who did everything for his country—and for whom, in re turn, his country did literally nothing. For we cannot in reason deem the presentation or the re storation to Lord COCHRANE of the insignia of the Order of the Bath as really anything—remember ing the shameful incident of its temporary with• drawal from him, and of the manner of its tempo rary withdrawal from him, between the date of that original presentation and of that tardy restoration! No—here in the record of Lord DUNDONALD'S wonderful career, we repeat, is the history of a hero for whom his country did nothing, while he himself throughout his career for that country did everything. Not a gun fired—as the great man was lowered into his tomb ! Not a soldier visible in attendance upon the funeral cor tege, bearing his dead body to the place of sepul ture! In the tears of Lord BROUGHAM, however, that fell into the open grave yesterday after the earth cast into it by the hand of .the Dean, the grief of England at the departure of this great spirit was most touchingly expressed. He is at rest at length after eighty-five years of daring activity, and those who honour his :memory the most, can now afford to disdain in his regard the indifference, the niggardliness, the pettyjealousies, and at last even the contumelious silence of sue, cessive Govergments.

Hungary has every encouragement, following the advice of her great Leader, to be prudent and firm ; she finds all things co-operating for her, even the stubbornness and cunning of Austria herself. Every day the national spirit and the national hopes are growing; all accounts tell us that pea santry and nobles, ecclesiastics both Protestant and Catholic, the old and the young, the education and the illiteracy of the country, are alike in exhibiting the same temper, and animated by the same ideas. The youth of the universities will not submit to literary lectUres in the hated tongue of the oppres sor, German has to give way to Magyar, and an Asiatic dialect to become the vehicle of modern ideas. Nobles refuse the office, equivalent most nearly to the honourable one of Lord Lieutenant in this country, because . they are nominated to it by a Monarch ,who is not yet legitimately King of their country, but chiefly because he has not re he desp o il ed stored to H ungary the historical rights of which her in 18;50.

A right cordial Welcome Home again to his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES will start spontaneously to-day from the lips and heart of every loyal Englishman. Not one is there surely amongst us to whom the news just telegraphed from Plymouth will be other than pleasant tidings —particularly after the delay in the arrival of H.M.S. Hero through the prevalence of contrary winds in the Atlantic since the date of her depar ture, on the 31st ult., homewards from the shores of the North American Continent. Under any circumstances, the reappearance again off the coast of Old England of the youthful heir to the Crown of " Revered VICTORIA," after an autumnal tour like that recently made by his Royal Highness in the New World, could not but be hailed far and wide in this land with feelings of the most pleasurable satisfaction. As if to impart a glow of personal sympathy to the warmth of the Prince's reception here at home, there has been that doubtless purely passing, that merely momen tary sense of solicitude, which, however fugitively entertained, has still been solicitude as to his safety, that vague sense of anxiety in his regard which now that it is entirely dissipated by the glad tid• ings of his actual arrival Home Again only serves to enhance the cordiality of the greeting given to him. It is nothing less than grateful to our hearts, moreover, to remember at this moment that the maternal solicitude of the QUEEN, however briefly it also may have been entertained, is by this time, in like manner, effectually dissipated. REUTER'S Telegram, it will be seen, dated " Plymouth, Thum, day Morning," sums up everything in one sentence sentence certainly that is all-sufficient. " The Hero and the Orlando," it says, " were in sight at eight O 'clock this morning, making for the Sound " —the Orl ando, it will be remembered, being th e vessel sent out a few days since to reconnoitre. So that, after 'lna the wind chopped round only a little sooner from the east to the south-west, from a directly adverse quartQrtoone of all the winds that could blow from an one of the thirty-two points of the compass, decid e dl y the most favourable—the Prince might have been h ome again by his Royal Highness's birthday on Prid aY—his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE might have been in ample time to join his fifteen Ministerial colleagues in the Cabinet Council held on the Tuesday following, only the day before yesterday, at the official resi dence of Lord PALMERSTON. "After date" th ough they are in coming, this royal party of excursionists, headed by the Hope of England—they are perhap s all the more welcome by reason of their very tardi. ness. Upon the return of the young Prince and his companions, in truth, we can offer to them, and for that matter to each other, the heartiest congratula Lions. Our veteran Premier has been again giving evi dence in the metropolis of his unfailing energy and unfading adolescence. It was only the other day, upon the occasion of the LORD MAYOR'S Banquet, on Friday the 9th of November, that the Noble Viscount addressed himself to the consideration of public matters generally, with a blending of reso lution as a patriot, and of adroitness as a diplo matist, pre-eminently worthy of him as the Minis terial champion, and the political type of a free born and out-spoken Englishman. Last night, in another of the great City halls, Lord PALMERSTON spoke again upo n many matters of great import, ~.'.., t: kr .- i s • —...,,,,,....... 0 01 7:3. -Al &IA \7:l, - V i , ....' :'47:ifj; i t ' - wr 'A.,' til riji , ...., , ~,,.., , • ?-• . . — .........L . . • iblll, •j, .6, I v iAt -.*?' • ~,, 0 S ,' s . .6 _ r• ''' M, 5 '";'4. THE SUN. THE SUN, LONDON, THITESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1860. The same question is now the one in discussion between Hungary and her faithless oppressors. Austria has offered them a provincial, a local Government, leaving them but a province of an empire. Hungary replies—" Restore our king dom as it stood in 1848." The difference is indeed vast, and one well worthy of all the firmness of patriots. Under its old Constitution, the country cannot be oppressed by an Emperor of VIENNA, and by his foreign troops, except by gross and open violation of his coronation engagements. German soldiers would be sent back to take care of Germans, and Hungarian soldiers would guard Hungary, and the King and Kingdom of Hungary would be co-ordinate with the Emperor and Empire of Austria, properly so called. Taxation and the levy of troops in Hungary would be a Hungarian, not a Viennese business. The Hungarians would be in fact a kingdom and a people. They would adopt their own commercial policy also. A point most important to them, and we may add to us. For the policy of Austria has been to make them selves the purchasers at a cheap rate of the vast raw produce of Hungary, by allowing her no other market, and to sell in exchange to Hungary at the dearest rate the bad manufactures of Austria, by excluding those of other countries from her. The prosperity therefore of bath nobles and peasants, who constitute the great bulk of the Hungarian population, depends on their kingdom having power to enforce its own commercial code. During his short presidency KOSSUTH well understood this, and inaugurated free trade without delay. At present the Hungarians seem to be taking the right course. There is no precipitancy; on the other hand, with insignificant individual excep- I tions, there is no yi e ldi ng . Th e f ew, i n d eed, who j seem to yield, nearly all do so with the idea of making the Diploma a fulcrum to force the ' oppressing Government to yet further concessions. Even the newly-appointed Chancellor of Hungary finds his acceptance of office under the circumstances so unpopular that he has resigned, and only holds on temporarily; and but one solitary exile of note has thought the scheme even workable. Hungary's strength lies in delay. She need not hasten. Venetia is draining Austria of men and money; and either the completion of the Italian Kingdom, by the conquest of Venetia, or a war there, will equally be an opportunity for the Hungarians. Meantime no other Powers of Europe will now help the distressed despot. They do not wish to mingle themselves up with a falling cause; while England, and the French people, perhaps the French EMPEROR himself, look with satis faction on Hungary's determination to be free. We may naturally, under all the circumstances, anticipate some important changes in the spring. By that time it will be seen what Italy is likely to do. And by that time also, probably, the pecuniary distress of Austria will have become intolerable. If she does not bend she must break ; and England would see her break, and into a hundred fragments, with not a little pleasure. Though the pet of our Court, she is the detestation of our people. MR BR1G.117; M.P., AND " STRIKES." A writer in a contemporary says :—I have pe rused with some attention a letter from Mr. Bright, M.P., to a friend in Blackburn, on the subject of " Strikes," and observe his strong expression of opinion that an extension of the franchise is the only hopeful remedy for this economic heresy. Now, 1 happened to visit Melbourne last year, where the population is in the full enjoyment of universal suffrage and vote by b a ll ot, and it grieved me to fid that the building trades, as well as others, were absolutely blinder to their own interests than if they lived in England and couldn't pay for a house at the rate of 4s. a week. Their nominal rate of wages is 14s. to 16s. per day of eight working hours, which, from the altered circumstances of the colony, positively forbids the employment of more than one-half; if so many, of their numbers, and only for the lavish expenditure of Government hitherto in public buildings not one-third of them would be at work. Out of this sum a large weekly allowance is paid into the club fund for distribution among the unemployed, and this absurd system has been prosecuted for years by virtue of the influence of the leaders in the union, who talk down all remon strances after the most Napoleonic fashion. Many of the poor fellows complained, in terms of sincere regret, of the condition of their bondage, but none had the courage to break it, and the at tempted eineute of which we have heard by this mail no doubt arises from the anomalous condition of the labour market. My own sympathies are by no means reactionary; but I confess that it shakes one's confidence in the propriety of an extension of the franchise when we find, by such experience as I have referred to, that instead of its working out the political regeneration of the working classes, it plunges them more deeply into the slough of misrule, and is giving them a taste for that most cursed of all mistaken remedies in such a case— physical force. aries." Lord Stanley has left Knowsley for Hughenden Manor, Bucks, on a visit to the Right Hon. B. Disraeli. We understand that the banner of the late Earl of Dundonald was, by command of her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, Great Master of the Order of the Bath, restored to its place in Henry Vll.'s Chapel on the day previous to the funeral. THE LATE SIP: HARRY SMITH.—By his own re quest the remains of the late General Sir Harry Smith were interred at his native place, Whittlesea, in the Isle of Ely. The funeral was scarcely a public one, though it was at tended by the principal gentlemen of the town, and the several corps of Volunteer Rifles belonging to the isle. As the Church of St Mary's, in which the family vault lies, is closed against burials, a vault in the town cemetery was constructed for the deceased General. A very natural de sire exists upon the part of the inhabitants of Whittlesea to perpetuate the memory of the only distinguished man the town has yet produced by a local memorial, and steps have already been taken to secure one. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The fog cleared off from here soon after the Himalaya's sailing yes terday, and a considerable quantity of rain fell during the ivte freshened round enedf r to from s oi s night, th e w i nd at the same time becoming very light, and .., shifting to th e northward. This morning the wind was round to N W bright an d c l ear. D uring the day the wind „th, st w ill ith lig t li t t 4r ; thebeauttottilsiugoe o a d p a p y ca c r l a o n sed in f rain squalls to windward. The consequence is, that they all now long for the 1 - 1 - A TEST _LA A. good old times when their representatives met on 1 equal terms with those of Hungary in the Diet, and when their natural peculiarities were left wholly, indeed scrupulously, untouched by the greater kingdom; Austria has, therefore, the most powerful part of what she calls her em pire, but which Hungarians affirm to be their kingdom, all united in demanding entire resti tution of national rights. Hungary lithe military strength of Austria. Without the aid of her traly brave sons, the heavy southern Germans would never make her armies very formidable. Prussia would be fully her military equal ; France could make mincemeat of her. It is striking to notice how firmly the Hun garians hare stuck to one formula in all their demands from Austria since the battle of Solferino. An endeavour was made a few months after the battle to detach the Protestants from the agitat ing body. Out came the famous patent. It seemed to confer so much more than was thought likely to be given, that foreigners at first supposed the poor oppressed Protestants would gladly accept it. Nothing of the sort; the astonishing sight presented itself of the Protestants refusing a consi derable measure of emancipation, and of the Catholic, including those of highest ecclesiastical rank, back ing the Protestants in doing it, because it was a patent, not a restoration of "historical rights." Catholics, as well as Protestants, feel that there must be no division on that point. The Catholic Primate of Hungary firmly supported the principle of a " historical Hungary." It is understood that the Protestants will ultimately triumph by passive resistance. NEWS' ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY. The Hero and the Ariadne came to anchor in Plymouth Sound at half-past nine o'clock. The ships and forts saluting. The Himalaya had communicated with the squadron, and is gone on to Portsmouth. The Corporation of Plymouth intend to present an address to the Prince. The Prince of Wales and suite left the Hero at half-past ten in the Avon, and landed at the Victualling-yard, thence his Royal Highness pro ceeded in a carriage to the railway station, and left at noon by a special train. ANOTHER ACCOUNT, PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, 9 A.M. The Hero, the Ariadne, and the Flying Fish are now entering the Sound. 10 A.M. The Hero was accompanied only by the Hima laya and the Orlando. The Himalaya is gone to the eastward. The customary salutes have been fired. The St. George is decked with colours. The weather is fine : wind westerly. All the Hero's small spars, flying jib, royal masts, and top•gallait yards are taut. She does not appear to have suffered much from the gale. The steam-tug Avon is alongside, prepared to receive his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. His Royal Highness will land at the Royal William Victualling-yard, where he will be received by the Plymouth Volunteers, under Major Duperier, and a guard of honour of the 12th, commanded by a field-officer. At the station, Colonel Lambrick and 100 Royal Marines form a guard of honour on the platform. The ground is kept by Major Deacon and 100 of the 61st Regiment. The Prince goes up by special engine, now on the point of starting, and he may arrive at Windsor between 4 and 5 o'clock. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) NAPLES, Nov. 15. The British arms have this instant been taken down (half-past 1 o'clock). NAPLES, Nov. 14. Gaeta is still infested on the land side. On Monday one regiment and two companies of Bourbon troops were met by the Sardinians and made prisoners. The Royalists encamped outside the fortress have proposed to surrender. The garrison of Gaeta numbers 3,000 men. General Klapka had arrived at Naples. TURIN, Nov. 14. Fanti will leave tomorrow for Naples. PARIS, Nov. 14. The Presse announces that the Empress left this morning for Scotland in strict incognito. Her Majesty will pass some weeks at the seat of the Duchess of Hamilton. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. The Moniteur publishes the following account of the progress of affairs in China : " After the capture of the forts of Taku, the French and English Ambassadors immediately proceeded to Tien-tsin, where, after a brief ne gotiation with the Imperial Commissioner Kouei- Liang, a project of convention was decided upon for the purpose of re-establishing peace between the allied Governments and that of China. The last-named, yielding on all points to the demanis of the allied Powers, declared itself ready to ac cept the ultimatum which France and England had presented in March last. Baron Gros and Lord Elgin had already made their preparations to pro ceed to Pekin, with a suitable escort to exchange there the ratifications of the treaty of June 27th, 1858, and deliver their letters of credence into the hands of the Emperor, when the Chinese Commissioner suddenly alleged that he had not sufficient powers, and refused to sign the prelimi naries already accepted ; and he declared to the ambassadors that he could not treat except ad refe rendum. Such conduct evinced on the part of the Chinese negotiator a want of good faith, which necessarily irritated the plenipotentiaries of France and Great Britain. A resolution was immediately come to with common accord between Baron Gros and Lord Elgin, that they would reply• by causing the allied forces to advance as far as 'Ting-Tchou, a large town situated on the road to Pekin, and about ten miles from the capitaA. It was there only, they declared, that they would listen to the propositions of the Imperial Com missioners, provided this time with full and real powers. After this resolution, which was come to on the Bth September, the escort which was to have accompanied the Ambassadors to Pekin was obliged to be transformed into a 15 ody of troops sufficiently strong to convince the Chinese Govern ment of the firm determination of the nllied•Powers to attain the object which they proposed to them selves. The latest information recei - ved, and par ticularly a despatch from General Sir Hope Grant, dated the 27th September, and whiLeh came from Aden by telegraph to her Britannic Majesty, fully authorises the hope that a fresh recourse to arms will not have been necessary, and that the Chinese Government will have hastened to sanction the conditions already consented to by t! to plenipoten- "It is stated positively," says the. Messager du Midi," that when the Chinese expedition has com pleted its object, Gen. Montauban will take his forces to Cochin China. The following is the state in which things are in th• latter country r----We have at Segou, the second capital of that vast empire, 300 men at the most, of whom 150 are marines and 150 seamen. These men are commanded by a young and intelligent captain in the navy, whio has conducted the expedition with great energy ;and skill. The Spaniards have a force of 1,200 in en stationed at Turon. This handful of soldiers of the two nations are surrounded by an army of 50,000 Cochin Chinese. Gen. Montauban, on reaching Cochin China, will, it is said, advance on ue, the capital of the empire, and it is there that peace must be concluded."

She passed the Anglo-Saxon on the 3d, and the North American on the sth inst. The Bohemian had arrived out. Advices had been received from Valparaiso to the 2d, and from Callao to the 12th ult. The ultimatum of the American Government regarding the Lizzy Thompson, Georgina, Tartara, and Santonia claims had been rejected by the Peruvian Government. The Peruvian frigate San Lorenzo was destroyed at Callao, while being docked. The stanchions of the dock gave way, and the Lorenzo immediately filled and sank. It was believed that 150 persons perishcd. The revolution in Bolivia had been suspended. Several officers who took part in it were shot. Difficulties had arisen at Panama between the United States' and the British naval forces, owing to the arrest of an American officer and a citizen who refused to respond to the challenge of a British guard stationed in the streets. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH WARE. FIRST MEETING OF 'THE SUPPORTERS OF MR. APSLEY PELLATT. Last night a meeting of the friends and sup porters of Mr. Apsley Pellatt was held in St. John's School-rooms, Russell-street, Horsely down, to hear from that gentleman an exposition of the principles upon which he seeks to represent the borough of Southwark in Parliament ; but shortly before the time for commencing the business it became known that Mr. Pellatt would be unable to attend, on account of a domestic affliction in his family, which compelled him at short notice to leave town for Brighton. Mr. West, fellrnonger, of Bermondsey, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said, as they had lost one of their representatives, it became their duty as elector s t o se l ect a man to represent their opinions in the House of Commons. They had several gentlemen before them anxious to obtain their suffrages, but they had amongst th e m an old and tried serva n t who again sought to re present them. As far as he (the chairman) was concerned, he knew of no man more fit to represent them than a local candidate, and a man whom they could always get at on all occasions. Mr. Apsley Pellatt was always watchful of their interests, and was entitled to their fullest consideration and support. Whenever he was wanted he was always ready to assist them, not only by his presence, but with his purse. He believed that had he not been a man of considerable influ ence he would never have been able to bring in four bills, which had afterwards become the law of the land. He never knew, too, of any working man going to Mr. Apsley Pellatt and ask ing a favour who had asked in vain. As a working man he would do all in his power to return Mr. Apsley Pellatt, and he would do so gratuitously. He hoped that he would be returned without a shilling of expense. He hoped, therefore, that they would return Mr. Apsley Pellatt, as he believed him to be the best man to represent the borough of Southwark. (Cheers.) Mr. NEWMAN also supported the claims of the candidate. Mr. BISHOP moved the following resolution : " That this meeting being of opinion that the claims of Apsley Pellatt, Esq., to the representation of the borough as a local man are to be preferred above any other candidate, this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion to secure his return." Mr. WARD seconded the resolution, which was then put and carried amidst great 2heerin g . Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting was dissolved. MEETING OF MR. SCOYELL'S SUPPORTERS. Last evening a numerous meeting of the electors and non-electors of the borough of Southwark, was held at the Horse Repository, opposite the Ele phant and Castle, for the purpose of considering the claims of Mr. Scovell to represent the borough in the room of the late Sir Charles Napier • Mr. Lock, churchwarden o f St. G eo r ge ' s , was called to the chair. Mr. WALKER said they had met under circum stances honourable to the borough. They were there not to be dictated to, but to show who would be the candidate for Southwark. They were met to consider whether Mr. Scovell was the best man to represent them in Parliament. He had on a previous occasion polled 3,000 votes, and if he was elected he would be an honour to the constituency. (Cries of " He is not a candidate," and " Why don't he come forward to state his opinions ?") He (Mr. Walker) would answer that question. Mr. Scovell said, if the electors wanted him he was ready to serve them if they asked him. He was quite satis fied Mr. Scovell would be returned for Southwark; and, in conclusion, pioposed a resolution to the effect, that Mr. Scovell was well qualified to repre sent the borough ; that a requisition be sent to him to invite him to become a candidate, and pledging the meeting to support him at the poll. Mr. PUTLEY, in seconding the motion, said that in 1853 the men in Mr. Scovell's employ had 3d. per hour; they requested an increase of wages, and Mr. Scovell unhesitatingly raised them to 4d. per hour. That showed he was the working man's friend, and worthy of support. (Applause.) Mr. JOHN DAY then came forward, and amidst great interruption moved an amendment in favour of Mr. Apsley Pellatt. He admitted that Mr. Scovell was fit to represent any constituency, but he preferred Mr. Pellatt, who was first in the field ; he was besides a tried man, and he would rather prefer to be represented by a man who had done his work than by one who said he would do it. (Cries of " Sit down," and hisses.) Mr. LEE seconded the amendment, which, on being put, was supported by a few hands. The resolution was then put, and a forest of hands held up in its favour amidst three cheers. On the motion of Mr. C. D. FIELD, a resolution appointing a committee to promote Mr. Scovell's election was unanimously passed, as was also another empowering the chairman to acquaint Mr. Scovell of the result of the meeting. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 2. Stocks are buoyant and active. Money abun dant, and in moderate demand at 6 per cent.

THE .PRINCE'S PROGRESS-ITS VALUE MAN CIALLY AND POLITICALLY. (From the New York Herald.) The Prince of Wales has come and gone. In every respect his visit to the United States was a pleasant, and we hope will prove to be a profitable, one. The young gentleman himself, who, in the course of events, is to be the Sovereign of that nation with which we have the closest ties by origin, by language, by religion, by trade and commerce, and by identity of national characteristics, was highly gratified. It is to be presumed that the members of his suite shared the same feeling. We certainly can answer for the people of those cities that he visited. There was something remarkable in the manifestations of cordial respect evinced towards him by the people of the United States of all ranks, from the President downward. It contrasted favourably with his experience in Canada, where pestilent Orangemen so marred the pleasantness of his reception. But once on the south side of the St. Lawrence, his progress from Detroit to Portland was one unin terrupted scene of pleasure and gratification. He leaves our shores bearing with him none but pleasant souvenirs of the country, and with the conviction forced upon him that a republican form of government is not, after all, so objectionable as Court tutors may represent and young Princes might suppose. Some narrow-minded philosophers of the utili tarian school may think, however, that both Prince and people paid rather dear for their whistle, :and that the game was not worth the candle. They may point to the supposed cost of the demonstrations, and ask to be shown any corresponding benefits. A million or two of dollars, they may say, is too vast a sum to be so lightly squandered. A million or two is a low es i 'imate of the amount of money put in circu lation by the Prince's visit. Six or eight millions would be ouch nearer the mark. The Prince's own expenses were very considerable. Special trains cost rather dear, and so do extensive suites of apartments in fashionable hotels. The Prince was magnificent, too, in his largesses to hotel ser vants and other persons in subordinate positions. Checks for various sums, from 500 dollars to 1,000 dollars, for distribution among servants, testified to his liberality and his credit at his banker's. Pre sents of costly jewelry to partners in the dance and to persons who had done him service or afforded him gratification helped to swell largely his ex penses. His stay in the United States was exactly a month, but he could not have managed to expend in that time less than 100,000 dollars--a mere bagatelle, to be sure, to one who has the British Treasury at his back. Close-fisted economists need not grumble at that, nor exclaim against such wasteful extrava gance. Our republican fellow-citizens outbid the Prince himself in liberality. Where he spent hundreds we spent tens of thousands—take the ball at the academy of music for example. Think of the glittering diamonds, the exquisite laces, and the costliness of millinery displayed on that occa sion. It would be a ridiculously low estimate if we were to place the average outlay of each person present at 200 dols., and yet at that figure the aggregate expenditure of 3,000 would amount to 600,000. If we were to set it down at 1,000,000 dols. that figure would not be extravagant. The half a million of people who filled up Broadway on the day of his entry into New York—many of them coming from distant points—must have paid for their holyday not less than half a million of dollars. On the whole, between the military display, the ball, the firemen's procession, and the general junketings during the few days he remained here, the occasion must have put in circulation nearly a million of dollars. All this was so much gained to the wealth of the community, for the money came chiefly from the classes that can well afford to be extravagant. The demonstration at Boston, including the splendidly successful ball, must have been the means of circulating a sum equal, at least, to half of that. Taking these figures as a basis, we might estimate the general expenses, or, we might more properly say, the profit, of the Prince's visit as follows: Dollars. 20,000 20,000 Detroit Chicago , St. Louis Cincinatti, including ball Pittsburg .. •• •• •• Harrisburg .. Washington, including Cabinet dinner and visit to Mount Vernon •• .. .. .. 50,000 Richmond, including ball • • • • .. 50,000 Baltimore •• .. .. 20,000 New York .. 750,000 Philadelphia, including opera 100,000 West Point •• •• •• .. .. 5,000 Albany .. .. 10,000 Boston •• •• •• • . 400,000 Portland, including ball to officers of the fleet.. 30,000 Expenses in Canada 1,000,000 Expenses of the Prince, suite, and fleet .. 1,000,000 .. 20,000 • • 100,000 .. 10,000 10,000 General aggregate .. 3,595,000 We do not suppose that we are very far astray in these calculations; and if not, the money value of the Prince of Wales's visit to North America may be set down at between four and five millions of dollars. Its moral and political value is inestimable: The demonstrations—in this country, at least— were due, in a great part, to the public estimation of the womanly virtues of the Queen of England. They were a tribute to virtue, and therefore could only be, in their moral effect, good. The sentiment which greeted him in Detroit-- You're welcome, laddie, for your mither's sake"—was that which predominated every where. As to the political consequences of the visit they are more easily comprehended. The Prince car ries back with him favourable impressions of our country, our Government, and our people, which may prove to be of the highest importance in the future. He hopes to see us once more before he . ascends the throne adorned by his Royal mother. He so informed the cadets at West Point. They wanted him to .join their mess. He would will ingly do so, he said, were it not for the old fogies —making use of an American expression, and re ferring to the Duke of Newcastle and the other noblemen who had him in charge. But he told them that after he attained his majority he would pay another visit to this country—a visit in which there would be less formality observed, and per haps mere information acquired. We hope the Prince will not forget his promise ; and we trust that an acquaintance so auspiciously commenced will ripen into a bond of amity between the two nations which no political disagreements will ever be able to burst asunder. Socially, morally, finan cially, and politically, the Prince's visit was there fore beneficial. Who is to be our next Royal visitor ? GARIBALDTe, LAST ADDRESS. Garibaldi's last adieu to his companions in arms has just been published, and runs thus : TO MY COMPANIONS IN ARMS. We must now consider the period which is just finishing as the last stage but one in our national resurrection, and prepare ourselves to finish worthily the marvellous design of the elect of twenty gene rations, the completion of which Providence has reserved for this fortunate age of yours. Yes, young men ! Italy owes to you an under taking which has merited the applause of the uni verse. You have conquered and you will conquer, because henceforth you are prepared for the tactics that decide the fate of battles. You are not un worthy of the men who entered into the close ranks of the Macedonian phalanx, and who contended not in vain with the proud conquerors of Asia. To this wonderful page in our country's history another more glorious still will be added, and the slave shall show at last to his free brethren a sharpened sword forged from the links of his fetters. To arms then, all of you! all of you! and the oppressors and the mighty will disappear like the dust. You, too, women, cast away all cowards from your arms—they will only give you cowards for children and you who are the daughters of the land of beauty must have children who are noble and brave. Let timid doctrinaires depart from amongst us, to carry elsewhere their servility and their miserable fears. This people is its own master. It wishes to be the brother of other peoples, and to look on the insolent with a proud face, not to grovel before them imploring its own freedom; it will no longer be dragged along by men whose hearts are base. No ! no ! no ! Pro vidence has presented Italy with Victor Emmanuel. Every Italian should rally round him. By the side of Victor Emmanuel every quarrel should be for gotten—all rancour disappear. Once more I repeat my battle cry. To arms, all—all of you! If March, 861, does not find a million of Italians in arms. then alas for liberty—alas for the life of Italy ! no ! far be from me a thought which I loathe like poison. The March of 1861, or, if necessary, Feb ruary, will find us all at our posts. Italians of Calatafimi, Palermo, Volturno, Ancona, Castel fidardo, and Isernia, every man of this land who is not a coward or a slaVe is on our side. All of us! all of us ! I say, standing close around the glorious hero of Palestro, will strike the last blow at the crumbling edifice of tyranny. Receive, then, my gallant young volunteers, the honoured conclusion of ten battles—one word of farewell from m e. / utter this word with the deepest affection, and from the very bottom of my heart. To-day lam obliged to retire, but for a few days only--the hour of battle will find me with you again, by the side of the champions of Italian liberty. Let those only return to their hcmcs who are called by the imperative duties which they owe to g w r h a o tit by yde their glorious of their woundsthei their havefamiliesd, e a s n or d ve t d ho t s h e e coun try. Th ese , indeed, will serve Italy in their homes by their counsels, by the very aspect of their noble wounds. Apart from these, let all others remain to guard our glorious banners. We shall meet again ere long, to march together for the redemption of our brethren who are still the slaves of the stranger. We shall meet again ere long, and march together to new triumphs. G.

It appears that the contact made by the Bank of France with the London bullion dealers is for £1,000,000 instead of £500,000. In addition to the £300,000 withdrawn, £335,000 was taken yes terday, and £365,000 more is expected to follow. Under these circumstances the applications for discount at the Bank, which were on Monday of a very moderate character, have yesterday been extra ordinarily large, mainly, it is believed, to provide against the contingency of a further advance in the rate being announced at the weekly Court to-mor row. The return to be made up this evening will probably show that the bullion has been reduced to about £13,200,000, and it must be expected that next week the figures will, at the best, be down to £12,800,000. There is nothing, however, in these prospects to lead to the idea of any very violent action being necessary. So recently as during four months of 1856 the rate of discount stood as low as 41 per cent., while the average stock of bullion was but£12,350,000, and the reserve on 1yX6,000,000 while the total of the latter shown last Wednesday was £6,429,370. Yet the circumstances then in operation were not exceptional as in the present instance, and, consequently, although it is to be hoped that the. Bank will follow the market and accept such rates as the public may seem desirous to pay, it cannot be regarded as certain that a fresh movement would not lead to a rather sudden reaction. Meanwhile, it must be repeated that, as far as this country is concerned, there is no reason to com plain of what is going on. Apart from the commis sions, and premiums, and extra discount business, arising out of the present borrowings on the part of Bank of France, we have the satisfaction of ob serving that while our banks and capitalists are reaping higher remuneration for the use of their money the rise in the value of that article checks the upward tendency of foreign produce, and espe cially of the great staples now most in demand— corn and cotton. Of course it is an annoyance to the dealers in those articles to be exposed to the effects of an unexpected depreciation in prices, but for the nation at large the result cannot be other wise than favourable. Our home manufacturers find themselves partially interfered with, but, as a general rule, under a healthy condition of commerce, it is always raw produce that is most liable to suffer whenever there is a sudden scarcity of capital. We may thus look on the current events in the money market with unconcern. But a problem of great interest presents itself in connection with them. To what quarters of the world has all the gold that has been lost been carried ? Since the autumn of 1859 the Banks of France and England together have experienced a drain of £15,000,000. Russia has not carried it off, for she has been long in severe straits for want of a reasonable supply. Of Austria the same may be said with still greater force. The Bank balances of the United States have improved but only in a very moderate degree. Meanwhile, by extracting £3,000,000 of silver from the Moors, among whom it was ♦irtually buried, Spain may be supposed to have added to and not diminished the general stock. Some fair portion of the outflow has doubtless been directed to Northern Germany, our largest receipts of grain baying been from Prussian ports, while a demand for a farther portion may reasonably be attributed to an increased acti vity of coin among the people, especially of Eng land, in consequence of the unparalleled extent of commercial traffic. But these are all inadequate to explain the largeness of the sum that has been absorbed. Perhaps they may solve the ques tion as to £5,000,000, but there will then remain £10,000,000 to be traced out. The difficulty, how ever, will vanish when we look at the vast military operations that have been going on in various parts during the past twelve months. In Syria and China the outlay must have been immense, and these are about the two worst countries in the world from which we can look for a speedy flowing back of anything that may be expended. At the same time the French army at Rome has been maintained on a scale of increasing costliness, and throughout the whole of Italy and Sicily the movements of armies have necessitated a constant use of coin, while among the inhabitants of these countries they have, doubtless, led to hoarding. In the midst of all these charges France has parted with £BOO,OOO to the Viceroy of Egypt, and is every day augmenting in every quarter the expenses of her armaments, and also of her diplomatic establish ments. . As an illustration of the manner in which a million at a time,may be swallowed up, the im mediate disappearance of the £1,100,000 of silver brought by one of the West India packets a few weeks back may be cited. Instantly two-thirds of the amount were bought by the Governments of France and England, and sent for the pay the troops in China. The moral to be deduced is satis factory. It is hard even for England, with her boundless trade and extraordinary credit, to main tain the scale of expenditure now being forced upon her, but for France the financial policy of the Em peror must, sooner or later, be ruinous. If the pre sent pressure should operate as a first warning in that direction it will be among the happiest cir cumstances that have ever occurred. THE RIGHT IRON. MR. W ALPOLE, Ikt.P. ON VOLUNTEERING. The village of Ealing was enlivened with a Volunteer demonstration on a somewhat extensive scale on Tuesday. The demonstation was promoted mainly by the corps re cen tly organ i se d in Ealing, known as the 30th Middlesex, and assisted by mem bers from the Civil Service, Inns of Court, Weat Middlesex, and various other corps, under the im mediate patronage of the Right Hon. S. H. Wal pole, M.P., and many other influential gentlemen, friends to the cause. At half-past three all the Volunte ers f e ll i n at the armoury of the 30th Middlesex, and h a d a general parade and marching out, headed by the bands of the Inns of Court and the Ealing corps. In the even ing, the first annual dinner of the 30th Middlesex was celebrated with much eclat, at the Green Man Inn, at which many prominent friends of the volunteer movement were present, amongst whom were the Right Hon. S. H. Walpole (in the chair), M. de Bourbon (claiming descent from the Bour bon family), of the Belgian army, in full dress; Col. Fitzmaurice, K H., and adjutant of her Ma— jesty's Yeomanry Guard; Captain Collinson, and several other officers and reverend gen tlemen. The Right Hon. C HA IRMAN, in proposin g th e toast of the evening, was received with loud cheer gnresa,t pleasure in because he sincerelytaking part in cheer ing. H pr e es s e a n id t p h r e oc tet ig ee l d be lieved. it tended to assist in p erm anently establish ing this great national movement in the c ountry, and would show that the villagers of Eal ing were ready and able to take part in rallying rou n d our Queen country.manodment was (Cheers.) But a s h ort year ago this ye in its infancy, and a year ago they (the people of Ealing) met to tend their humble but willing assistance for the accomplishment o f the great ob ject—the defence of their common country; and while . he was aware that many despaired then of the per manency of volunteering, he was very sure no rea soning person despaired now. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman then alluded to the militia, which he thought h a d d one good service, and yet that service, great a s were it s a d van t ages, was as nothing to this great volunteer movement, which, notwithstanding the fears of its friends, and the shrewd prophecies of its enemies that it was ephe meral, and would soon pass away and leave not a trace behind, was rapidly gaining strength from day to day. (Hear, hear.) He would ask them now if there were not 150,000 men gathered together in one com mon cause, and what was that cause P He saw in that hall two flags; on one was " Peace," and the other " Hope"—appropriate mottoes for the occa sion—and he would say, as he said last year, that their cause was for peace, which they all hoped for, at the same time it was to show their foes abroad that they could not take away those liberties from us which we so dearly prized. (Hear, and cheers.) The great moral effect of the volunteer movement abroad had been much felt, and would still be felt. It had unmistakeably shown to the world that while other nations were forced to obtain freedom by war, and violence, and bloodshed, we at any rate could obtain and maintain it peaceably by our own resources, and by rallying round our Queen and country, offend nobody and attack nobody; and at the same time say, we will not be offended nor attacked. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) He maintained that one of the prominent features in the movement was its beneficial mingling of all classes, the unity of which made them all happy and prosperous. The right hon. speaker th en called upon all present to drink heartily, " Success to the Volunteer Movement and the 30th Mid dlesex." This toast and others having been duly honoured, The Right Hon. CHAIRMAN, in responding for the manner in which his health had been drunk, declared that his time and his service were at the entire disposal of the volunteer interest, which was a cause, they might depend upon it, would not be allowed to sleep, and hoped every Englishman would use himself to the rifle the same as they did of old to bows and arrows.
