WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1859 The announcement of the deadly Conspiracy against the life of the SULTAN CALIPH startled Europe a few weeks back like a detonation audible throughout Christendom from Constantinople. The earliest tidings were—although as vague and brief as the flying rumour of a telegram—so vividly suggestive of the magnitude of the peril but just (at the last moment of the crisis) escaped, as if by a miracle, by his Imperial Majesty, the Commander of the Faith ful, ABD-UL-MEDJID, that universal attention and curiosity were awakened almost instantaneously. Mail by mail from the Golden Horn has been scru tinised since then with eager solicitude—but as yet the Golden Horn has in this particular proved any thing but a cornucopeia or horn of plenty in the way of information. Gradually, however, the true par ticulars of this all but dire and fatal conspiracy have been accumulated bit by bit, and the whole depth of the atrocity brought to light. But for an oppor tune disclosure, in common parlance, in the very nick, the head of the reigning Sovereign of Turkey would have fallen before the scymitar of his dastardly foes, the leaders of this unnatural Conspiracy. Their plot was literally all but suc cessful. The train was laid, the match was lighted, it was smouldering rapidly down to the anal point of ignition. Comparatively speaking, but one instant more, and the conspirators would have had in their possession at once the palace, the dead body, the sword and the sceptre of the ruler of Constantinople. And the very Prince against whom this detestable project was formed, was all the while notoriously and undeniably one of the most enlightened and magnanimous princes that has ever sat upon the throne of the crowned suc cessors of MAIIOMET. The reigning Sultan has the reputation, it is true, personally of being little better than an exhausted voluptuary. He is at this moment, if not in the flower of his age, at any rate, in the prime of his manhood, and upon the very threshhold of his maturity. Born in the winter of 1822-23, he is no more than thirty-six, although his reign may be•regarded as having been even now—at least for a Sultan—somewhat pro• tracted. This, however, is simply and obviously attributable, of course, to the circumstance of' the premature decease of his great father and prede cessor, a man of rare genius—one whose extraordi nary capacity in statecraft was evidence of his powers as a resolute Reformer or Re-organiser of Govern ment, Following in the broadly marked and colos sal footsteps of his great father, the young Sultan, though endowed with scarcely one scintilla of his Sire's genius, and possessing but few it any of the attributes of an energetic and original individuality, has, by the maintenance of. the enlightened system inaugurated during the last reign, and by the pursuance of the course marked out by the last Sultan, " won golden opinions from all sorts of men" in Western Europe. Insomuch that hardly one lustre since when his dominion was threatened with a violent dismemberment by the legions of the Northern Autocrat, his capital his very frontiers were defended by w as guarded, the allied forces of the two Powers foremost among the nations, and certainly ,facile princip es among the Champions of Civilisation. Repeatedly, moreover, during the reign of the present Sultan be has given evidence of the nobility of his disposition and temperament. He has done so in several instances so signally that those who appreciate him best may with reason laugh to scorn the sneers of such as affect to rank him merely with the effete princes and the roil faineants of the precee t epoch. None but a monarch of chivalrous sym pathies and truly heroic nature would have with stood, as the world knows ABD-UL-MEDJID did withstand, ten years ago, at the close of the Hungarian war of 1849, the haughty and combined and insolent demands made by the two great despotic Governments of Russia and Austria, then with their legions in arms upon the Turkish frontiers, and flushed with the recent triumphs gained through the treachery of GORGE/ —the threatening demands, almost commands, made by the CZAR and the KAISER for the deliver ing up of the fugitive Leaders of that grand, and for the time utterly ruined cause of Magyar inde pendence ! Hungary, England, Europe, especially Western Europe, will not soon forget how that band of heroes was sheltered under the lEgis of the despised and dreaded Turkish Sovereignty—how the SULTAN drew his Imperial mantle as it were over the bowed heads of KOSSUTH and his com patriots! Prior to this ABD-UL-MEDJID had in a noble spirit of sympathetic pity contributed his quota to that humane fund which was accumulated from all quarters of the globe for the relief of the Irish nation, stricken down simultaneously by the fatal ravages of famine and pestilence. And subse quently in a spirit of generous admiration this same high-minded ruler of the Turks presented (as a per sonal tribute of regard) an estate to the pure and dauntless poet-statesman of Franca—ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE. A sovereign of whom such acts are recorded can be no more sated debauchee. He may be an epicurean in his life—his existence may be touched by the vices of the voluptuary. But he is something more than that—he is at heart capable of something better than a career of mere animal enjoyment. Turkey under his rule may improve slowly, but—it improves. Happily the present SULTAN has enjoyed throughout the chief part of his reign the advantages—of a wise councillor in the person of the late British Ambas sador to his Court, Viscount STRATFORD DE RED CLIFFE—and of a wise Minister, not long since snatched away by sudden death in the maturity of his powers, ths most gifted of all the great Viziers of the Sultan Caliph ABD-UL-MEDJID, the late REDSCHID PACHA. Unfortunately for the Sultan, REDSCHID PACIIA is now no more—and, so far also unfortu nately for his Imperial Majesty, Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE has closed at length his long and distinguished career in diplomacy, a career princi pally passed as British Minister at Constantinople. But with Lord STRATFORD'S vacated post filled up as it is by one of the most gifted and astute diplo matists now in the service of the CROWN of England—with Sir HENRY LYTTON BULWER there at the Ottoman Porte as her BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S ambassador with the SULTAN startled from his princely apathy by the discovery of the astounding perils, but just escaped by him self and hislGovernment almost by a miracle—we may yet hope that good will come at length to Turkey I That again the flower safety may bG culled from the nettle danger. That once More the darkest hour will be seen to have preceded the dawn, and that with no sinis ter result, though, by what at first appeared but a most evil omen Coming events have also in this instance, according to CAMPBELL'S felicitous fancy, cast their shadows before. Sup posing all which to be the happy fruits ripened upon the hotbed of this detected conspiracy, the first reform adventured upon by the SULTAN must assuredly be a Financial Reform. A wholesome system of retrenchment must replace the profligate expenditure hitherto the bane and curse of the Turkish rule at Constantinople. The whole mystery of the Harper Ferry affair is now before us. We know how it began and how it has ended. All apprehensions of anything like an organised servile insurrection are now at an end, and we know that the whole business is summed up in the semi-insanity of one Captain BROWN, as his neighbours had termed him—a name well-known to Americans, though hardly heard of on this side the Atlantic. Yet the story of this " Old BROWN, of Ossowa-, tomie," as he was often called, from the scene of one of his victories, is a deeply interesting one, and well worthy to be known for itself, and as an illustration of what it was that the last two pro-slavery. Presi • dents of America were supporting in Kansas. BROWN, it appears, emigrated from the New Eng land States, a Puritan of the old sort, as described by MACAULAY and CARLYLE. A man who believed in a living GOD, who had no manner of doubt that his most ardent desires and emotions were Divine inspirations, and who, whether in battle with "the thick trees on which he lift :d up his axe," or en countering " the Amalekites " of the day, was quite sure that his arm was outstretched or withdrawn, strengthened or weakened, by the decree of the Omnipotent. This man took with him to Kansas his family of six. He had not long settled there before " the '—and verily sinners they are—the slave holders, stirred up the much-talked of Missouri Ruffians to do their work. These brigands were to force on the free settlers of Kansas, by the terrors of fire and sword, a pro-slavery Constitution ; and we all remember how, by outrageous' violence, they succeeded, and how PIERCE and BUCHANAN made it their grand object to curse the new territory with their infernal demon of slavery. In the progress of this bloody work it was that the Border Ruffians raised up a man to avenge the wrongs of freedom, who regarded himself as one of the old Judges of Israel. Under circumstances of great atrocity, not to be paralleled on this side of the Atlantic except by the savageries of Austriain Italy and Hungary, the Border Ruffians had murdered several of B nowN's children, and several of his neigh bours around him. This he regarded as his com mission from on High. He collects around- him a small band of Ironsides likeminded with himself, and now it is " the Sword of the Lord and of Gideon." He met " the enemies of Kansas and of the Lord" in any numbers and invariably routed them. His countrymen conferred on him the name of " Ossowatomie" by the same right as a new title was given to the Dukes of MALAKOFF and MAGENTA ; and though so much smaller the numbers engaged, the merits of the Far West victories were not in ferior to these of this quarter of the world. Where ever he came the " Ruffians" fled at the very sound of his name, and many of the worst of them were surprised in their houses, and executed summarily on the trees adjacent to them. Till the war was over his was their name of terror. But even Kansas troubles came to some sort of an end. Peace was enforced ; but there was no peace for slavery and slaveholders in the mind of " BROWN of Ossowatomie." His brain, frenzied by the murder of his children, could know of no mercy to the infernal institution to which they had been offered up as victims. lie now determined to be the plague if not the subvertci- of slavery. Being not far from the Free States, he employed himself in aiding slaves to escape from American bondage to British Freedom, and was eh:a guard of the " underground railway" from the slave states to Canada. He appears to have done a great deal in this way, and no doubt vexed sorely the heart of many a southerner, by enabling his " property" to become its own property, and to exult in a freedom sinners ". equal to that of his old proprietor if not superior. Well if he had continued this useful work ! But his holy ambition was to be the Liberator of the entire captive people, and his fervid enthusiasm blinded him to the horrors which must attend Liberation by insurrection; worse, for himself, than that, it blinded him to the fact that the negroes were few in that part of Virginia, that the brutali ties of the slave gang were little, if at all, known in that district, and that the slaves there, being for the most part domestic servants, were better treated. Had he commenced near to the Southern plantations, and had he been at pains to diffuse secret information of his plans among the gangs who work the estates under the lash of the driver, the consequenoes might have been awfully different. One shudders to contemplate the scene in localities where slaves vastly outnumber whites, where mas ters might resist, amidst the madness of thousands, who were prepared any of them to receive the first few shots of a planter's revolver or rifle, that the rest might enjoy the horrid satisfaction of dealing with their oppressors as he had dealt with them. As it was there was nothing but the armoury to favour a rising at Harper Ferry. No slaves rose. For a year or more BROWN had been working on - a farm he had taken, to avoid suspicion, but he had only a party of 17 in all, including his own two sons, to be the commencement of a second war of independence in the United States. A second war, not merely to deliver a few white Americans from a few unconstitutional taxes, but to emancipate three millions of sable Americans from the innumerable miseries, degradations, and oppressions of slavery. A better cause, truly, than WASHINGTON'S, though not as yet to triumph by the means to which WASHINGTON and the white Americans re sorted. WASHINGTON fought to free men from un constitutional Government ; poor BROWN fought to free them from the denial of all human rights, and from the cruelest oppression we know of yet, in a world which has always abounded in oppression. If courage deserve honour, BROWN has earned the Victoria Cross, not only before the sad event, but in his two days' fight with his brave little band with all the force of the State, till all but two were killed, and .these two, himself and son, severely wounded. If a cause deserve honour, then BROWN must be rightly numbered with all the heroes who have sought at the sword's point liberty for those who were unjustly deprived of it. If ill success in a good cause deserve commiseration, then BROWN deserves it ; and if imprudence springing from a blinding but noble enthusiasm deserves censure, then must he share that censure with hundreds whom history taunts because their abilities were unequal to their aspirations. Righteous as would be the retribution of a servile war, likely as it is one day to occur ; yet must incitement to it be condemned by all men whose wrongs, like those of BROWN, have not over , powered their judgment. Still, well may the planter tremble. He sees BROWN standing at their bar calmly, not vainly, confident in the righteous , ness of his cause. There lies the element of terror. . BROWN and his little rash band may be speedily offered up as martyrs to negro emancipation, but the , cause is righteous still. Nothing can crush that fact. ; The infernal wickedness of slavery and the righte . ousness of emancipation are the spectres which will survive the blood of BROWN and his associates, and which will haunt the guilty consciences of planters throughout the Union. Not all the sermons of a clergy, worse than faithless to their holy calling, can lay these tormentors of the slaveholder. lie lives on in defiance of the rights of man and of the frown of man's MAKER. He hardens himself like another PHARAOH, and will not let the people go. But his day must come. He will not seek to avert it, will not, by any mitigation of his accursed system, prepare his bondsmen for a liberty in which he could even find his profit. On the bench of justice, where oaths are taken in the name of the GOD of Heaven, he pronounces that the fellow-man whom his GOD has made of the same blood with himself is his property, his chattel, that HE HAS NO RIGHTS. Can the day be distant when those rights will be asserted in the blood of those, who refuse them, and who madly refuse to be warned ? If BROWN fought madly for right, it may yet appear that American planters fight yet more madly against right. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENY-GARDES: Mr. Balfe's " Satanella" was given last night for the first time this season The cast differed in three instances from that of last year—Miss Pilling assuming the part of Stella, heretofore filled by Miss Susan Pyne ; Miss Fanny Cruise taking the place of Miss Rebecca Isaacs in Lelia; and Mr. Santley appearing as Arimanes, in the room of Mr. Weiss. All three substitutes acquitted themselves well, and left little to be regretted in the absence of their predecessors. Miss Fanny Cruise's debut was entirely successful. " Satanella" is perhaps Miss Louisa Pyne's most incom parable achievement. Her singing of " The power of love" alone would constitute a night's intense gratification. Mr. Harrison's Count Rupt rt, too, is an excellent bit of acting, while his singing is vigorous, finished, and manly in the extreme. On the whole "Satanella," with all its drawbacks, is likely to obtain a new lease of popular favour, for which it has been, and no doubt will be, in a special degree, in debted to the artistic exertions of the directors. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1869, DBU.RY-LAIVE THEATRE. Last evening Mr. E. T. Smith began a new series of Italian operatic performances at the above theatre with "Il Trovatore." The cast, with Madlle. Titiens, Madame Borchardt, Signor Aldighieri, Signor Mercuriali, and Signor Giuglini in the chief characters, offered no novelty whatever for criticism. Everything went exceed ingly well until near the end of the opera, when Giuglini was struck suddenly hoarse and became unable to continue his part. He has been singing night after night for many months past, and had travelled from Liverpool yesterday morning to fulfil his engagement at Drury-lane. Under such circumstances his indisposition may be easily accounted for. An apology was made fur the celebrated tenor by Mr. E. T. Smith, but not very graciously received by the who were unreasonable enough to expect that a man should sing when he could not. All opera-goers ought to know that Giuglini is quite incapable of causing disappointment to his numerous admirers unless absolutely compelled to do so. The " Miserere" was very creditably sung by a Signor Corti. After this the opm a was allowed to proceed without further interruption to the end. The house was very crowded. CAMPBELL'S AMERICAN MINSTRELS A new troupe of sable minstrels have taken possession of the smaller concert-room at the St. James's Hall, and bid fair successfully to fill up the void created by the departure of the long popular " Christy's." It consists of some thirteen performers of various kinds, vocal and instru mental, and the leadership is efficiently divided between Messrs. Fox and Warden, themselves men of high ability in special departments. Mr. Fox is a most suc cessful imitator of negro peculiarities as we are to suppose them to be exhibited at the plantation, and Mr. Warden takes the role of the " coloured gentleman" of musical tendency, who gives ludicrous imitations of the Italian-opera. Amongst the solo singers, Messrs. Farren berg and Drummond are especially deserving of complimen tary mention, the former as a highly-finished tenor, and the latter as a most effective baritone singer. They are both nightly encored, and are fully deserving of the compliment. The dancing is extremely good, the " Old Virginny dense" of Mr. M. Sexton being a most extraordinary specimen of negro flexibility and power of contortion, and the " Lousiana Belle Dance" quite a novelty, being a sort of Kentucky version of the celebrated coquette dance df Perea Nena. The "belle" is admirably, dressed, played, and danced by a member of the company whose name is not given, and the support given to the perform ance by the other members of the troupe gave it the cha racter of a divertissement in ebony. The instrumental music is first-rate, including a brilliant violin and an effec tive violoncello-player, so that, taken altogether, this new company may be accepted as a considerable advance on all previous minstrelsy from the other side of the Atlantic. Mr. Fox, one of the managers, is certainly the most genuine " Nigger " we yet have seen, and his partner, Mr. Warden, is quite as successful in his Italian extravaganza. The con cert is, in short, far more attractive, even as a mere musical entertainment, than many which affect a much higher position in the world of art. TIIE LORD MAYOR'S DAY. The 9th of November, from time immemorial, has been a great day for the City of London, notwithstanding that it obstructs business to a very great extent. Still, the Lord Mayor's Show is looked upon as one of the institutions of the country, and to speak against it may be little less than treason. ;This morning, big with the fate of turtles, , opened bright and brilliant upon the mighty city ; civic functionaries and gaudily-attired footmen were heard to exchange mutual! congratulations upon being able, after all, to exhibit their finery with the advantage of a Novem ber sun. Long before the City had begun to wear its wonted bustle and activity the carpenter's hammer was sounding forth its noisy note of preparation, and through out the line of procession rickety windows were secured, dusty flags unfurled, and stout barriers erected to stop in trusive vehicles. The Mansion-house, of course, was the scene of much commotion, and during the whole of the morning policemen, city marshals, and lively flunkoys with large bunches of flowers and unexceptionable limbs, were flitting to and fro in a dreadful state of excitement ; while at the various ward halls, beadles, whose shabby-genteel coats were concealed beneath heavy cloaks trimmed with gold lace, were furbishing up their wands of office, and inspecting the banner-bearers who were to take part in the all• important pageant. At an early hour the Lord Mayor was duly instal led in his civic palace, and his lordship commenced the duties and pleasures of his office by putting his cook's abilities to the test, and entertaining his friends and offi cers of the household at a sumptuous breakfast. The well known venerable coach, drawn by six high-spirited steeds, and caparisoned in massive crimson trappings, was then ordered to the door, and his lordship, attired in his robes of office, decorated with his gold chain, and attended by his chaplain, the Recorder, the Sword-bearer, the ponderous mace, and the scabbard sword, entered the antique equi page, and drove off to the Guildhall, followed by the Sheriffs. Here for the first time he was welcomed and cheered as the Lord Mayor of London, and having partaken of luncheon— eating and drinking forming the principal, and certainly the most agreeable features of the ceremony—his lordship announced it to be his will and pleasure that the procession should be arranged in the order in which it was to move. Accordingly the City Marshal set to work, and with the aid of a body of police succeeded, after some difficulty, in his task. The procession, although it was curtailed of many of its usual adornments, such as knights armed cap a-pie, attended by their esquires —men in brass and steel, with plumed helmets—was as imposing as usual, and the missing objects were well supplied by the substitution of a number of additional military bands of music, amongst which was that of the London Volunteer Rifle Corps, which made its first appearance in public this morning. The uni form of this newly-raised corps was very handsome, and did credit both to the taste and patriotism of the City of London. The procession then passed along Gresham-street, Princes street, King William-street, Gracechurch-street, Cornhill, Poultry, Cheapside, Queen street, Cannon-street, St. Paul's churchyard, Newgate-street, Skinner-street, Farringdon stleet, Fleet-street, the Strand, and thence by Parliament street to Westminster-hall, in the following order : Police Constables to clear the way.

On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster-hall, his lordship at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. The civic party took a standing position in front of the bench reserved for Queen's counsel. The Learned RECORDER, in addressing the Court, said : My Lord Chief Baron,--I have the honour to introduce to your lordship and this Court the Right Honourable John Carter, elected by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The gracious approval of her Majesty has ratified the choice of the citi zens. The learned gentleman then proceeded to give a short history of the career of the new Lord Mayor, stating that he had for many years carried on business in the City of London, during which time he had won the good opinion of his fellow-citizens, and had for a considerable period been their representative in the Court of Common Council, and on the death of the alderman of his ward (Cornhill) was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy. He had subse quently served the office of sheriff, and'at the termination of his year of office received a vote from the livery, and he felt well assured that he would not be found wanting at the post of honour to which he had been now elected. The learned gentleman having also intimated that the late Lord Mayor, who had so well fulfilled the office during the past year, was in attendance, concluded by presenting the new Lord Mayor in the usual form to take the oaths. The LORD CHIEF BARON said--My Lord Mayor, I beg to congratulate you on having attained that honour which the learned Recorder has expatiated on in his address to the Court. You appear here as first magistrate of the greatest city in the empire. You appear here to claim cer tain rights which belong to the great city of which you are the chief magistrate, and the ceremony which takes place on this occasion is not to be considered as a mere idle pageant, for in reality it is to retain on your part those pri vileges which have existed from time immemorial. I rejoice to hear the account of the learned Recorder of your past life and success, and doubt not that during your mayoralty you will continue to deserve the good opinion of your fellow citizens. To you, the late Lord Mayor, I beg to offer my congratulations, and you retire, having undoubtedly dis charged your important duties, into comparatively private life. You have, during your year of office, displayed every thing that could belong to a patriotic citizen and upright magistrate. I feel assured that in retiring into comparative privacy the discharge of those public duties that remain to you will occupy the whole of your attention, and that you will continue to deserve that approbation, and to meet with that sympathy in the discharge of them which you have ' hitherto experienced. Alderman Wire bowed his acknowledgments. The Lord Mayor was then sworn. The late Lold Mayor was also sworn to render unto her Majesty o. full account of the receipts on account of the Crown during his mayoralty, and to " behave himself properly" according to the old form of oath whilst he did so. The other formalities having been gone through, the Re corder invited the judges to the banquet at Guildhall this •vexing. The Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the officers of the City then withdrew, and passing through the other courts the Lord Mayor, through the Recorder, invited the judges presiding to the banquet. The procession then returned to the City in the same order as in its coming. MILFORD HAVEN.--With reference to the re marks yesterday on Mr. Page's " Report on Milford Haven for ocean steamships, and a naval arsenal," the South Wales Railway Company desire to state—first, that pier accommodation at present exists for ocean steamers at Milford Haven ; and, secondly, that there is railway com munication thence to Manchester. A floating pier extends into deep water at the terminus of the South Wales Rail way at New Milford (Milford Haven), and is available for large steamers at any state of the tide. At this pier, the Calcutta, a large ocean steamer, which sailed for Lisbon and Brazil on the 2d inst., took in cargo and coal direct from the railway trucks, which are lowered to the floating pier by means of hydraulic machinery, and the traffic in connection with the stcaners to and from Waterford and Cork is carried on in a similar manner daily. Railway communication exists between Manchester and Milford Haven both by way of Newport and by way of Gloucester. Through rates aro established, and Manchester goods are now sent to New Milford by one or other of these routes for exportation.—Times' Correspondent. THE DEFENCES OF VICTORIA.—A meeting of the Chamb( r of Commerce, held on September 13, for the purpose of discussing the quest ion of defence, was but thinly attended. The following resolution, proposed i n a l ong speech by M r . Sichel, and seconded by Mr. Sumner, was carried without opposition :—" That a deputation, consist ing of the f o ll ow i ng gentlemen, the President, Mr. J. G. Francis, Mr. T. J.

CALCUTTA & CHINA MAILS. MARSEILLES, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The Valet* with the mails from Calcutta and China, arrived at Marseilles at 7 a.m. this day. The mails left for London at 10 a.m. Letters will be delivered on Friday morning. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, Nov. 9. The Ifloniteur of to-day publishes a dispatch from General Martemprey addressed to the Mir ister of War, and dated near Zekkora, Nov. 6th. General Durieux with two divisions attacked the Zekkora and forced the hostile tribes to retire towards the south. General Durieux by skilful manceuvring obtained a victory over the tribes, equally as bril liant as the victory of Malah. In addition to a great quantity of booty, the horses and arms of the Spahis who had been killed at Sidi-Zaer were re taken. The troops are in excellent health and spread terror everywhere before them, and the people im plore their mercy. PARIS, Nov. 8. The Emperor arrived here to-day at 3 o'clock from Compiegne, and proceeded to the Hotel du Louvre to pay a visit to the Grand Duchess Maria of Russia. 12.10 P. 31. The Bourse opens rather firm, but inactive, Rentes, 70f. 10c. 3.25 P.M. The market has undergone no change. The final price of Rentes is 70f. 5c., being only a shade higher than yesterday. ZURICH, Nov. 8. The signature of the treaty has been delayed cm account of Austria claiming payment of the 40,000,000 florins due by France on account of Pied mont in Conventions Illunze instead of the new Aus trian currency. Baron de Bourqueney has referred the question to Paris for instructions, and it is thought that the difficulty will be overcome, and the treaty signed without further delay. FLORENCE, Nov. 7. The Assembly has resolved to take into conside ration the proposition to create Prince Carignan Regent of Tuscany in the name of the King of Sar dinia, and will give its vote on this subject to morrow. The resolution was received with cheer ing by the public. BOLOGNA, Nov. 7. The Minister, the Marquis de Pepoli, read to-day before the Assembly a message announcing that the Government had always pursued a system of mode ration, and further stated that the financial re sources of the country had during the last quarter increased a million and a half ; and concluded by saying that the establishment of a Regency would place the credit of the country on a firm footing, and that Central Italy would appear before the Congress with more authority. The National Assembly of the Romagnese has unanimously voted the Regency of Prince Carignan, and has invested him with full powers. The Prussian Gazette publishes an article of which the following is a summary : " The Alge»zeine Zeitung insists on its statement that the interview between the Emperor of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia had a tendency hostile to England. The same paper pretends that Prussia had entered upon the policy of France and Russia to isolate England, and had promised to maintain an unconditional neutrality in case war should be declared by France against England. In order to support these absurd insinuations the Al gemeine Zeitung refers to the imaginary statements of some Prussian newspapers which are known to belong to the Opposition press, and which have a self-understood interest to disfigure every step of the Government for the sake of obtaining a basis for attacks against it. The writers of the Alge ?wine Zeitung place themselves by their conduct on the same footing with certain French journals, which, in translating the malevolent conjectures of the Prussian Opposition press, transformed them into positive facts. These tactics may be considered ingenious, but are hardly patriotic or useful to the interests of Germany.' " VIENNA, Nov. 8. The Schiller Festival has been celebrated here to-day in a most brilliant manner in presence of immense crowds of people. The torch-light processions were numerous and well attended. The greatest order and enthusiasm prevailed throughout the town. The weather was exceedingly fine until towards the conclusion of the festival, when rain fell, but not, however, in any considerable quantity. MADRID, Nov. 7. Marshal O'Donnell will positively leave this evening. The transport steamers detained on account of the bad weather have now arrived at Algesiras, and offensive operations will commence immediately. GREECE. A letter from Athens, dated the 18th of Oct says : " Mr. Wyse, the English Ambassador, as Presi dent of the Financial Committee has presented a collective note of the three Powers to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, containing a succinct resume of the report of tno commission. In this note the three Powers draw the attention of the Greek Go vernment to the faulty financial administration of the country and to the urgent reforms required, and conclude by saying that as the three Powers see that the country offers sufficient resources to pay without inconvenience the sum of 900,000 f. on ac count of the loan and interest it yearly claims that sum from it. "The note took the Government by surprise, as no previous notification of it had been made. "At a Cabinet Council, presided over by the King, the principle of the payment of the 900,000 f. hzs been adopted. The Chambers have been con voked for the 10th of November." Colonel Clifford, son of Rear-Admiral Sir Au gustus Clifford, has been appointed Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod at the House of Lords, in the room of the late Mr. James Pull - Ilan, F.R.S., Clarenceux King of Arms. DEATH OF THE COIJNTESS DOWAGER OF HARE woop.—Wo have to tumour e the death of the Countess Dowager of Harewood, who expired yesterday morning at an early hour at Goldaborough Hall, near Leeds, after a very short illness. The late countess was the second daughter of Thomas, second Marquis of Bath, K.G., by the llon. Isabella Elizabeth Byng, third daughter of George, fourth Viscount Torrington, and was born on the 25th of March, 1801. Her ladyship married, on the sth of July, 1823, Henry, third and last Earl of Harewood, who, it will recollected, died in 1857 from the effect of injuries sustained by being thrown from his horse on the hunting field. The marriage of the Earl of Dalkeith, M.P., and Lady Louisa Hamilton, which was fixed to take place to-morrow, has, in consequence of the death of the countess, who was sister to the Duchess of Buceleuch, and therefore aunt of the bride groom elect, been postponed to a more distant day. THE RAILWAY STATION AT PERTIL—A final understanding has been come to as regards the joint use of the Perth general station. The whole matter in dispute, which led to the formation of a new station at the Glasgow road Bridge, has been amicably settled between the directors of the Scottish Central and Scottish North-Eastern Rail ways, and the terms of arrangement only require the ap proval of tho Scottish North-Eastern shareholders. The necessary station buildings and accesses are provided for, and the Scottish North-Eastern Company are to resume their use of the general station in all respects as formerly. —alebreath Guide. THE VOLUMEERS. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Sint,--Allow me to amend my first letter on a point of importance. In 1805 the volunteers were formed in regiments of 1,000 strong, and even in larger masses, clothed in red, and armed, accoutred, and drilled like re gular troops. Of use they were, displaying the moral power excited by the danger of invasion ; but as soldiers mere mimics, without solidity to support the regular army, and offering points of weakness to the enemy, because, having neither artillery nor cavalry of their own, they required the aid of those arms of war from the regulars ; for it is by fine com binations of infantry, cavalry, and artillery that battles are won. Soon all would have had to trust to their legs ; for be it known to Mr. Wise that absolute running away at the right time is also an essential part of warfare, to be learnt with care, though a battle is not the best school for the first lesson. The regular artillery would then havo feared to close on the French masses, trusting only to the support and protection of unwieldy, untaught, ill commanded mobs of volunteers. Now, acting as riflemen, the volunteers will be independent of the regular army, yet support it; and, having free play for their own natural intelli gence, it will in each be developed according to mother wit—though it is not every mother that gives her son military wit, as proved by Mr. Wise. They would also more easily escape from the evil of incapable commanders, and yet give full play to their own usefulness. Thus it would be : A rifle infantry man takes post, under cover, half a mile from a French column of march, and he plumps into it every-shot, or knocks over the men and horses of the artillery and cavalry, if at all ex posed to his fire. At the same time one or two of Sir William Armstrong's lightest guns, which are said to be of sure stroke at two miles' distance, and may be drawn by two horses, can take post a mile or more behind the riflemen, pounding the enemy's column and protecting our own skirmishers from cavalry, which, however, could make but little im pression, giving, as they would do, half a mile start to the volunteers in running away, if such running should be expedient. It may be said the French have rifles and long ranging guns also. True ; and it would be a fair fight between the riflemen on each side ; but the heavily-loaded Frenchmen would soon tire, and the !rutin column must halt to rally them again. Thus the long ranging arms, pushing the volunteers into their natural career, have quadrupled their power ; and, all former points of weakness being swept away they will be a real support to the regular troops, instead of a drain and a burden. The delay thus enforced on the enemy must be made also under the destructive fire of the Armstrong gun, which would hit always, and never be hit by a counter gun of the same range, for the columns of the enemy could not hide, they must be perforce of Mr. Wise's school ; whereas the Armstrong gun corild and would hide, and, having fired, remove to another place to fire again, so that the enemy's shot, directed only by the smoke, would strike an empty nest. Each gun, whether manned by volunteers or militia artillerymen—and there are many good ones --should be attended by small corps of volunteer cam airy always moving with it, ready to support the skirmishers and protect the gun from accidental roving detachments of the enemy's horsemen. We also should have roving horsemen—aye, and fight ing . horsemen, numerous and bold. They would soon teach the French cavaliers how much a good ho] se has to do in warfare ; horses never blunder if their riders be earnest and strong-willed. The last Gazette having given me a step of rank, mr signature will be in future :Nov. 4, W. NAPIER, General. THE ;STATE OF ITALY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. enclose a copy of a letter I have ad drt ‘ssed to Lord Brougham on the affairs of Italy, and I shall be glad if you should think fit to publish it. Your obedient servant, ELLENBOROUGII U 2, Upper Belgravo-street, Nov. 8. e " THE EARL OF ELLENBOROUGII TO LORD BROUGHAM. " Southam, Delabere, Nov. 5. *" My dear Brougham,—l propose to subscribe a SIT Lail sum to the fund for the purchase of arms to be placed at the disposal of Garibaldi. " If all those who wish well to the cause of inde pe n deuce in Italy would, for the same purpose, su.biscribe such small sums as they can spare with out: inconvenience, the aggregate amount of their con. tributiens would be large, and they would ma teri ally assist in supplying the Italians with the me, a ns of making themselves respected. 6 " Arms, organisation, and discipline constitute th© real! strength of a people. In proportion to that strel igth is the respect it obtains. Upon that foun dati )n alone the independence of every country mue t really rest. 6" I admit, with deep regret, that the Italians have, as yet, made but little use of the opportunity why .ch the events of the war have placed before then n. " They have confined themselves very much to reje icings in anticipation of the independence wbi ch they have neither achieved nor deserved. , y have been waiting to receive from the hands of ( )thers that which they should disdain to owe to au) • hands but their own. 4 " Acting under the direction of men hastily se le ci and unequal to the crisis in which they w ce called forth to govern, they are even now, I fe in Central Italy, insufficiently prepared ag7a inst the threatened invasion of the two most coN temptible of armies—those of Naples and of the Pol ' I will still hope for better things. I will hope the t, stimulated by the insults to Italy which are coe ,veyed in the demands France is about to make in. the Congress, they will rise to vindicate their ri ht to choose their own Government, and clutch ti: Le arms by which alone it can be secured. f , " There is in Italy one man who has at once a hc id to direct, a hand to execute, and a heart which te'E Is him what is right. That man is Garibaldi. ' Let the Italians follow where he leads, and they wi; 1 at least acquire the honour which has been so lord g unknown to them as a people. has no measures to observe with France. If he should obtain success, he will not consent to hold th 4 provinces he liberates as a fief of the French enal Are. He will not lend himself to the carrying out of tkie idea of the First Napoleon, that France should be. ; surrounded by weak dependent States. 4 " If the Italians should obtain no change but that of substituting the influence of France for that of A - at itria, they will only have changed the outward fo of their humiliation, and have laid the foun da ti .ons of perpetual disunion and of constantly re en n ing war in their country. " I believe that the creation of a great, united, an, I independent State in Italy (and to be inde pei 14 lent it must be great) would tend more than an: r other measure which could be adopted to secure the peace of Central Europe. Incapable of entertaining projects of conquest be, rt nd. the Alps, which it would be evidently im po able to realise, such a State would have a cont ra( n interest with Austria in closing that natural bai r ier against the foreigner ; and Austria, relieved fro no . all apprehension on the side of Italy, would, in union with Germany, present on the Rhine and on ;she Vistula a concentrated strength which no am b. ition would assail, because none could hope to ovc r come. This was the opinion I formed at the Congress of ienna. I expressed it in the House of Com moi u ;in 1816. 1 have adhered to it through life. ' The unexpected events in the early part of this yce cr appeared at one time to place this great result ale lc )st within our grasp. I will still trust that such high hopes have not be I.T i held out to Europe only for a moment, to be th rsn dashed away and to deceive. I will trust that ti le Italians may prove themselves not unworthy of t 1 pair fortune, and may be mindful of other and h igher traditions than those to which France has d irected their regards. " At least, let us, sympathising with them in ci .rcumstances which were once our own, place in t! ieir hands the arms by which alone, un d er Provi dence, their redemption can be achieved. " In the will of Providence must rest their sue c ass, but with arms in their hands they may at least, i; lsteadof being unresistingly t rans f erre d , lik e cattle, b y foreigners, fall nobly like soldiers in the field, a rid acquire that glorious name which has been ac e girded by the concurrence of all ages to those who erish in the attempt to liberate their country. It would give me much satisfaction to learn that you approve the step I propose to take, all that, although you may not agree with me .1n a,e particulars, you agree with me in the ma in in tu views I have expressed. " Ever, my dear Brougham, yours most sincere)", ELLENBOROUGU. - - TVRECK OF THE ROYAL CHARTER. THE LIFTING OPERATIONS. MOELFRA, TuEsDaY• The "lumper," or lifting apparatus, for which Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. had sent to Liver pool in the early part of last week, arrive d here 03 Saturday. The lumper is in appearance something like a fishing smack. She has a powerful heaving machine on board, which is worked from the deck , and with which large portions of the wreck th ar l e sure to be hoisted from the position in which e now lie. Some additional divers were brought from Liverpool with the lumper, and descents were mak e on Sunday forenoon. The divers say that the wree' lies in a very intricate and,to them,dange rous heap. They walk beneath some of the heavy machinellt of the ship, and have to grope their way araius ironwork. One of them met with a corp se on Seni day, but was unable to remove it from t he mass timber and iron in which it was entangled. The Royal Charter was steered with a aplendia, patent steering apparatus. This the divers succeedeu in attaching to the, chains of the lumper, and itWaol hauled up in an almost perfect state; a segrallie the wheel being the only part broken away. e a framework to which the patent steerer was attach e, when it stood in its place on the ship was i _ sub t s be quently got up. No gold was discovered o Y . al divers on Sunday. The bullion-room of the BeY it Charter was about 18 feet up from the keel' f 3 was, as is usual in similar ships, formed out 0 . portion of the stern, to which an iron deck/ It o sides, and an iron door were attached. In this r ° the ingots, specie, and dust consigned to part. ies e d this country were deposited. The gold consito, to the captain was placed in small cubical taatle gany boxes, on which were affixed the witted the captain and that of the party who com led gold to his custody. These boxes were dePe.sloot in the bullion-room. That the b u llion-room l9 ,a intact, but has been knocked to piece'', is of the beyond a doubt by the fact that fragm ent hav e cubical mahogany boxes, with seals on them , t he within the last few days been found aim beach. Nevertheless, the professional geeLeirery who watch the operations of the dive rs area the sanguine as to the recovery of the ingots e n sal e specie. Of the recovery of the gold d ust the hopes are not entertained. g le i n On Sunday night there was a very heavY- e gter Dullas Bay. The Fury was obliged to seek s'',4 to round by Moelfra, and to tow the lumPG r , e : 0 0,3 the same place. They both came back to tue;ther of the wreck on Tuesday morning, but the We beiag was too unfavourable to permit of the lumPe h r nrs of got to work. Up to that time only two,. bars gold has been found ; one, that which th e that brought up last week ; and the other, , ell- Itoylu had been picked up by some men of tu e , c teani Nany, in a boat belonging to her Majesty sty's tea tender the Sea Mew.
