We must all have been struck with one thing in the Imperial career of Louis NAPOLEON—he has avenged himself of his personal enemies. The CZAR would not acknowledge him. He killed the CZAR with grief, and beggared his son and succes sor. Austria forbade a minor German kingdom to furnish him with a Royal wife ; he obtained pro bably a far more attractive lady—but that had nothing to do with the Austrian affront. The HAPSBURGS, therefore, had to repent, not in sack cloth and ashes, but in blood and in military and territorial humiliation at Solferino. There was a third delinquent —a, politically, foolish old POPE. He refused to crown him ; refused to make the imitation of the first Empire complete in what, to Frenchmen, is of such high importance—its cere monials : and now his turn is come. First, an Imperial pamphlet punishes refusal to crown, by telling him he would be better himself without a crown. Next, the triple crown is pared down to a very lowly one over a little municipality ; and, lastly, he is pretty plainly told that the sooner he doffs even that, and contents himself with his mitre, the better for him, for Italy, for Europe, and for the Church. Truly, the man seems so to have the fates in favour of his chastising and humilia ting his foes, that we might be almost frightened could we think ourselves among them. And who can. tell. People, and Rulers too, lately, have pretty plainly told him their mind. Is it to bo the mis sion of La Gloire and her companions soon to be afloat, to sink a few English three-deckers, if not to land a few Zouaves in Surrey or Hampshire, by way of teaching us better not to speak evil of Emperors. - . . .„„..,),.m fi ?s -I,' - ' . % • h P , po THE SUN.

To-MORROW.-Morning, sh. 3m.--Afternoon, 6h. 24m: It is, however,•Rome's turn just now ; and it is a l interesting to see how the old gentleman through whom ANTONELLI rules, comports himself. Sar dinia and France, notwithstanding the ostentatious withdrawal of ambassadors, have plainly come to an understanding. This is shown, perhaps, as de eisively as by anything, in the fact that Count Cavoult feels at perfect liberty to repudiate uncon ditionally the EMPEROR'S Villafranca scheme of a i i Confederation. After the unthought-of and unhoped-for events," he says, " which we have witnessed in Italy, it must be clear to all men that we are no Federalista." And not only that, but the Count argues strongly for the necessity of the emancipated provinces joining Piedmont, if they see fit to join her, as an "integral part of the king dom." The praises of the French, and the rather strong declaration on the gratitude due from Ita lians to them, we might have expected. But the explicit declarations against Federation, and in favour of forming a strong Italian kingdom of twenty-two millions . of people, are all a re versal of the formerly avowed policy of the EMPEROR. It iroula acorn prAlanhle that, in fluenced by circumstances, by the very strong opinion of this country, and by its tendency to re duce the POPE, or to elevate him to the position of a princely spiritual ruler, the EMPEROR now concurs in the creation of a Kingdom of Italy. Certain it is that the POPE now ands himself but a purely puppet Prince. The French, his military masters, hinting to him to look out for new quarters ; and the Sardinians, after having swal lowed up all his other territories, standing open mouthed, and ready to swallow up Rome also. The " summary of the POPE'S allocution" is of a somewhat sad, yet unavoidably an amusing thing. It is the old policy of the ecclesiastics to tell us that the " Church in danger," means the State in danger. But statesmen have become, we fear, very sceptical on this point of faith. They distinguish between the Church and ecclesiastics, and do not think their subjects in danger of irreligion, because the secular wealth and rank of Church dignitaries sustain a few rough shocks. They look back to the days of the fishermen, and around them to States whose clergy are very poor, and seeing the latter religious and orderly, they think religion has got on quite as well when unaided by worldly grandeur and dignity. Hence the poor POPE delivers himself in vain of plaintive appeals to all the Powers of Europe, telling them that their thrones will totter with his own ; that the doctrine of non-intervention is detestable —that it is especially so applied to the estates of the Church—that they ought all to come to his rescue when " attacked by the parricidal arms of a degenerate son," that all the acts of that dege nerate son ar• " null and of no effect," and that he will never cease to protcst in order " to maintain _ entire the civil power enjoyed by the Roman Church." Poor man ! Can he not perceive that it is just that civil power which the " degenerate sons" of the present day will not think it " sacrile gious to attack," and that by clutching its last remnants and rags, he only makes himself ridiculous. These " degenerat e sons " themselves leave him willingly supreme authority i n matters of faith. He may declare an ancestor, per annum, of our LOR.D, if he pleases, to have sprung from an immaculate conception, till he comes to ADAM him. self ; or he may adopt Lord PALMERSTON'S theology and declare all of us born immaculate, and his sons will not question his decrees. Why can't ho be content, from his Vatican, to rule over the winds of doctrines, and not pro rok. the modern Neptunes to remind him that ho has no business to interfere with the elements which they have in their own charge and can manage better than he. However, all things are now closing him in. Again GARIBALDI sends the shout of victory over one of his few faithful sons, which yet remain, from the South. The King of SAR DINIA, meanwhile, meets his volunteer General, and himself takes the command of the army which is to join GARIBALDI'S, and finish the work begun and all but completed by the latter. CAVOUR himself speaks of GARIBALDI, while op posing his policy, in language which does honour to his Italian heart, and which GARIBALDI seems already, by his actions, to reciprocate ; and all bids fair to the early formation of Italy into one fine kingdom, the Eternal City and its Pope being the only little break into one of its boundaries. GARI BALDI need not be impatient. That position can not last. Rome is no more a political than a mili tary Gibraltar. It will become the capital of the Italian kingdom. The energies of a freed people will soon drain its deadly marshes, and the former mistress of the world will become again the mistress of the land to which she belongs, Couut C.lvovit's4 everything considered, quite as deserving of admiration. It was the same, however —with a difference. And the difference notice• able is one alike of kind and of magnitude. For example, the movement now witnessed in this country is proportionably extended by reason of the increase of the population, by reason of the increase of the national wealth, by reason of extraordinary advances made during the interval of half a century which has elapsed since the former movement of a like kind was manifested, the enormous and astonishing advances made since then in the general development of all the marvellous forces, moral and physical, scientific and political, of modern civilisation, As indicative of the larger scale upon which nations and Governments have to act nowadays, it would be almost sufficient to direct attention for a moment to the one simple fact that the aggregate of the French army then in 1803, under the greatest military adventurer that, perhaps, in the history of this world (certainly in the annals of modern times) ever agitated the destinies of the human race—the aggregate of the French army in 1803, under the First Consul, NAPOLEON BONA PARTE, amounted, as we have already iuticutted, to a force of 300,000 men—exactly one-half of the total of the French army now owing allegiance in a tin," of peace to his nephew and successor, the present NAPO LEON BONAPARTE. Again, as indicative of the advanced scone of things in 1860 (amongst our selves), as compared with what they were (amongst ourselves) in 1803—let it be remembered that whereas then, in a time of war, our total war expenditure amounted to £23,590,757 upon army, navy, and ordnance —now, in a time of peace, we have, during the present twelvemonth, been expending upon our maritime and military armaments upwards of thirty millions sterling ! Nay, the total amount of our , expendi ture, during that warlike year of 1803, reached an aggregate of precisely £48,998,230 —while we know but too wall nowa days that, during the current peaceful year of 1860 the aggregate of the national expen diture has exceeded seventy millions sterling ! Yet, recollecting the difference referred to, therefore, we maintain it is still instructive to remember the con trast presented to view by the nature and extent of the preparations made in England for the national defence in 1803 and 1860. Fifty.seven years ago then —our predecessors prepared against the probabilities of a threatened invasion as vigorously as in their way, according to their means, as we have very re cently been preparing against the possibilities of any such imperilment of our independence—as vigorously, but, we repeat, v,ith a difference Beyond a militia force of 80,000 men Ccalled out on the 25th of March, 1803) —beyond the regular army of 130,000 men—the Hoase of Commons on the 28th of June, 1803, agreed to the unwonted ex• pedient of raising 50,000 men additional by pro scription This extraordinary measure being adopted with a view to raise the aggregate of the regular troops in Great Britain to a total of 112,000 men, exclusive of the troops scattered far and wide over the globe in our distant colonies. The 50,000 additional soldiers obtained thus by proscription being raised in the proportion of 34,000 for England, 10,000 for Ireland, and 6,000 for Scotland. Added to which there was intro duced in the Legislature on the 18th of July, 1803, the memorable bill enabling the KING to call out the levy en masse, and authorising the lords-lieutenant of the shires to enlist all the male adults in the United Kingdom between the Whereupon, age of se ven t een an d fifty- seven — a proceeding that resulted in the e nrolment, within a few weeks, of 3 % 00, e 0 e o up men on, fully armed and rapidly disciplined ! 1h in the p resence o f th a t ma j es ti c move ment—not betoG a word merewa ad was heard, unusual eardt he e n xp o e f d t i h en a t t (thanks of a compulsory proscription ! Recollect the Volun teers of the metropolis alone amounted to a total of nearly 50,000, namely to 46,000! Recollect, too, that in the October of 1803 King GEORGE 111. reviewed in Hyde Park—(it read:: like the record of a more recent incident under his royal grand daughter)-27,000 of these patriotic Volunteers. But—in the remembrance of all that enthusiasm of fifty-seven years ago—let it be borne in mind that the reply of the people was then given to the visible threat of a most formidable invasion prepared against these islands by NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. Now—all that we have been doing is in answer to vague rumours of the mere possibilities of invasion. T et the war-trumpet but actually sound against us, and we may rest assured that our 150,000 Volun teers would soon enough be multiplied to an aggregate of half-a-million. Under any circum stance, we may confidently assert that the peculiar 1803, is difference discernible between what has been d one nowadays in 1860 and what was done formerly in the fact that the movement of 1803 died out with the di*appearance of the danger threatened, TFIE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1860 policy of a strong Italy first, and then a leisurely dealing with Rome and Venetia, is the one which must, we think, be ultimately successful. The Volunteer Movement of 1859-1860: gives promise of far happier results than those which sprung from its prototype of 1803-1804. Far happier, because auguring permanence ! The pre parations made fifty-seven years back for the re pulse of any possible invasion of these shores were the precipitate consequences, as history relates, of a temporary enthusiasm. It was known at that time that the First Consul of the French Republic was actually in readiness at Boulogne to cross the Channel, at the earliest available opportunity, at the head of a powerful force there gathered together for the express purpose, with the openly avowed intention of descending upon the shores of Great Britain for the subjugation of its Government. BONAPARTE'S army, there and then assembled upon the heights of Boulogne for the carrying out of this audacious design, was, in point of fact, distinctly designated the Army of England. It numbered, curiously enough, the iden tical total which has already been attained in these times by our Rifle Volunteers. The Volunteers of 1860 numbered 150,000 Riflemen ! The soldiers of the Army of England, the soldiers, that is to say, who were, in 1802, col lected upon the heights of Boulogne by the French Republican Consul,General NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, for the conquest of the British Island, numbered also 150,000 men—being one entire moiety of the disposable force of 300,000 men then carrying the tricoloured banner of the Republic—those tri coloured banners which were so soon afterwards to be crowned by the Imperial eagles of the later and greater CHARLEMAGNE. In the presence of the spontaneous movement for the national defence now in this year of grace, 1860, actually accomplished, or in process of ac complishment—it is instructive to remember what were the precise means adopted by our sires and grand-sires, in 1803, with a like view to the better and surer maintenance of the national independence. Then, in 1803, the patriotic ardour displayed simultaneously by the people, the Parliament, and the Government, was, in all essential respects, as conspicuously manifested as it has been very recently, and one, whereas the rifle corps organised amongst us in 1860 have been, as a deliberate system of defence, organised, so to speak, en permanence. 16 GOD BLESS YOU." Give me Affection's mood when tender truth Prompts us to greet the dear one at our lido With love that makes no note of Ago or Youth ; Too pure for Passion, and too warm for Pride. When soft Emotion with its holy light Sheds the Great Sculptor's name upon our clay ; When the full heart is bound by its own might, And lips that kiss their shrine can only say " God bless you." Solemn is that last parting when the eye Dwells on our face with fix'd and dreamy gaze; When the dread moment stifles tear and sigh, And our reft bosom, while despairing, prays. When the familiar fingers clasp our hand, —The chosen band from all that gather round, — And the Soul's password to the Spirit-land Leaves but the dead beside us in the soind, " God bless you." Few, simple words I—amid the blurs and blots Of erring language, ye havo goodly birth ; Ye form the consecration of the spots Which Memory kneels upon as hallow'd earth. Feeling—too deep to sport on gossip air ; Pit?—too eloquent to blame or teach ; The Joy we tremble at, the Grief we share, The Angel tones that lire in Human speech Breathe in " God bless you." ELIZA. COOK MARTIN'S LIQUID IRON SHELLS. The following circular memorandum has been issued from the Horse Guards : - " The annexed reports from the Ordnance Se lect Committee relative to Martin's liquid iron shells are promulgated for the information and guidance of officers of artillery : " Further experiments have been ordered to be carried on, witti the view of ascertaining : " 1. The maximum charge the shells will stand, " 2. Their effect against fascines, gabions, plat forms, and carriages. " 3. Their fitness for enfilading works. "4. Their effect when filled one hour before being discharged.—By command, " J. YORKE SCARLETT, Adjutant-General." The destructive effects of this shell are fully detailed in the reports accompanying this circu lar. In the latest experiment five Bin. shells, filled with molten iron, were fired from a 68- pounder at the Undaunted, frigate, at distances varying from 200 to 350 yards. Four set the ship on fire, which was extinguished. The sth, fired at 350 yards with 81b. charge, set fire to her so effectually that it was found necessary to sink her. SADLERS' WELLS THEATRE. The first part of Shakespjare's "Henry IV." was per formed here last evening, in which Mr. 11. Marston ap peared as Hotspur. The character was performed a short time since by Mr. Phelps, and some curiosity was evinced as to the manner Mr. Marston would acquit himself in a part which had been so well pourtrayed by the talented lessee. Mr. Marston's conception of the firey Henry Percy, surnamed Hotspur, was exceedingly good. There was no servile imitation, but with the good taste which charac terises everything Mr. Marston does, ho relied on his own ability and ideas, and gave us a performance of very great merit. Mr. Hermann Vesin appears to increase in the favour of the habitues of "The Wells ;" as Henry Prince of Wales his acting was loudly applauded. There was no straining after effect, and although, towards the termination of the play, there are some temptations for point making, yet he very judiciously avoided them, and gave us a truly Shake • spearianperforraance. His elocution, which was exceedingly good, was greatly heightened by his very clear and distinct enunciation. Mr. Barrett, as Falstaff, acted with great spirit and success; and Mrs. Marston, as Mrs. Quickley, the hostess of the tavern in Eastcheap, reminded us vividly of Mrs. C. Jones, who reaped such laurels in that part, when Shakespeare was the fashion with the patent" theatres. To-morrow we see " Cymbeline" is announced for repro. duction, Mr. Phelps appearing as Leonatus Posthumus. CREMORNE GARDENS: This highly popular property is no longer open for the lovers of al fresco enjoyment. The season of 1860 has been memorable for the uncongenial atmosphere which, with little intermission, prevailed from the first day of opening till the closing- weak. Nevertheless, some important novel ties have been introduced, and among them may be named the magnificent Stereorama and the beautiful Fernery, both of which have scarcely been appreciated, so rew have bcc, the opportunities of enjoying them. At the close of such a season an expression of sympathy for the trials a public caterer has undergone will no doubt meet a response in liberal minds, but there are exceptions to this. In 1857 Mr. Simpson had to defend himself and his property from an attack of the Chelsea vestry, and came triumphantly out of the conflict ; we hope that he will have, next season, a similar preliminary victory over his persecutors, and such a succession of favourable weather as may compensate for the lowering skies and thin attendances of the past one. TEE FILIBUSTER WALKER. (From the New York Daily News, Sept. 21.) Our telegraphic despatches this morning an nounces that the grey-eyed filibuster has been shot. The man who has been the means of desolating many a home in our country has at last paid the penalty himself of his rashness and misdirected ambition. There are hundreds of hearths where a vacant place is yet mourned by the bereaved mother, who will see in this retribution on the head of him who lured away by false and highly coloured hopes the prop and support of her years, to die of sickness or hunger, or in battle, an act of providential justice. There are tbose who have experienced the coldhearted indif ference or tyranny of this man on previous oc casions, who will rejoice at the calamity w hich has overtaken the cause of their sufferings and dangers. William Walker was in many respects a remark able man ; his resolution and courage were indomi table, but there was such a want of judgment, of tact, and ordinary humanity in his character, that success under him was an impossibility. How he ever was able to induce men to put themselves under his guidance, or to loan him money aild equipments for his enterprises, is stranger than his own madness. Her certainly pos sessed a magnetic power in winning confidence, which his blunders would inevitably dissi pate. American interests in Central America have suffered immensely by the senseless expe ditions of Walker, as well as by the tyrannical and inhuman manner in which he treated all who were so unfortunate as to fall under his power. His re moval, however, will be much to the advantage of American merchants and settlers in those fertile regions, whose inhabitants have long been preju diced against the American name by the cruelties and perversities of the filibuster general. HEALTH OF TIIE EARL OF DERBY.—Though still conined to bed, his lordship was yesterday much better, and the marriage of Lady Emma Stanley will take place on Thursday next. The procesdins will be as pri vate as possible.

A report has been extensively circulated throughout Carlow and the adjoining counties, that Gari baldi is no other than John Sadleir, of Tipperary Bank notoriety. The peasantry cannot be convinced that Sadleir is dead, and they confidently affirm that he is now at the head of the liberating army in Italy. It is believed that some fancied likeness in the illustrated journals of Gari • baldi to John Sadloir has added weight to their convictions. —Carlow Sentinel. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners have given notice of their inten tion to receive tenders on Thursday next, the 11th inst., for a ship to proceed to Sydney, New South Wales, to be ready for the reception of passengers on such day as the Commissioners may appoint between the 21st and 30th November. lOLENT GALE.—EDINBURGII, Wednesday.— This morning this neighbourhood was visited by a storm of wind of unusual violence even at the period of the equinox. The wind began to rise about midnight, and between 4 and a.m. it blew a perfect hurricane, and continued with boisterous vehemence till about noon, Numerous trees, palings, chimney pots, ;Stc., yielded to the violence of the gale, and considerable damage has been done in the fields, stackyards, and gardens, and several wooden erections have been blown down. In the Firth of Forth the gale was very severely felt. A fishing boat, with three men on board, was capsized about midday when nearing Leith-pier, and one of the fisherm en , named John Liston, was drowned.

He called upon all the princes of Europe to examine seriously what great and innumerable evils are comprised in the detestable event which he de plored, and said that if such an odious violation of international law were not entirely nullified, there would no longer be left any force and security to any legitimate right. " All Sovereigns," his Holiness said, " should be convinced that their cause is intimately bound up with ours. In coming to our aid they- will provide equally for the preservation of their rights. His Holiness concluded by saying that he had no aonct mat thu 0,4114v11c. ; pr_nooc ana panplcia would come to the assistance of the Father of the Faithful, who is attacked by the paricidal arms of a degene- rate son. ANCONA, OCT. 4. The following order of the day of his Majesty the King of Sardinia has been issued " Soldiers !—I am satisfied with you, because you are worthy of Italy. By arms you have van quished your enemies, and by conduct the calum niators of the Italian name. " The mercenaries whom I set free will speak of Italy and of you in foreign countries, after having learned that God recompenses those who serve him, and not those who oppress people and despise the right of nations. We must establish a strong Italian monarchy on the liberty of peoples who will aid us with order and concord. The national army will increase more and more the glory which since eight centuries has shone on the cross of Savoy. " Soldiers, I take the command. It would cost me too much not to be foremost wherever there may be danger." VIENNA, OCT. 4. The name-day of the Emperor of Austria was celebrated to-day by a religious ceremony in the Cathedral of • St. Stephen, and by a military pa rade of the garrison. VENICE, OCT. 4.

"To prevEnt the corps•francs and the Pied montese approaching Rome on the Tivoli side M. Merode has ordered an arch of the bridge at Lu cano, over the Aniene, to be pulled down. He then ordered the small corps which had defended the bridge to withdraw, and sent it to Frosinone. These measures arouse indignation among all men of commonse sense, because from Tivoli Rome may be reached by a hundred different roads of the Roman Campagna without passing the bridge of Lucano. " The preparations for resistance which are being made at Velletri and Frosinone excite the Piedmon tese to march on those provinces, and the Pontifical Government will then lose more men and materiel. " It was reported that a corps of Royal Neapoli tan troops had entered the States of the Church, but it was simply a detachment of 300 men sent as far as Frosinone to escort some mountain pieces which Francis 11. has sent to Pius IX.

" The Pope held a secret consistory yesterday morning, in which he nominated 11 bishops, and made an allocution, the substance of which hae not yet transpired. (Vide telegram.) " The French Ambassador, after leaving Cardinal Antonelli yesterday, had an audience of the Pope. The Ambassador communicated to his Holiness the reply of the Emperor to the notes of which M. Cadore was the bearer. The reply is to the intent that the Emperor would not allow Rome to be occu pied by either Garibaldi or the Sardinians ; that the French garrison should be reinforced; and that the Emperor was willing to propose a Congress to settle the Italian Question. LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, FRIDAY; The Constitutionnel publishes the allocution pro nounced by the Pope on the 28th ult., and accom panies it with the following remarks :—" What strikes us in this document is, first, some unlooked for insinuations concerning the French policy, and then the still more inexplicable silence respecting the protection with which we cover the patrimony of St. Peter. But, in our opinion, that which in some way compensates for this reticence is the wise resolution which the Holy Father appears to have taken to remain in Rome under the protection of that great Catholic nation whose intentions, but not whose services, may be misconstrued." NEW VICTORY BY GARIBALDI. GENOA, OCT. 4. According to advices received here, Garibaldi had sent the following despatch to Naples, dated " HEAD -QUARTERS, Oct. 1. " Victory along the whole line. " The Royal troops are being pursued." TURIN, FRIDAY. The Diritto publishes despatches from Naples, dated the 2d October, stating that the Royal troops had been repulsed from Caserta, and were sur rounded. The Garibaldians made 2,000 prisoners. MARSEILLES, OCT, 4. The following is a summary of the allocution delivered by the Pope in the Consistory of Car dinals, held on the 28th ult. : His Holiness detested and deplored the conduct of Piedmont, and her guilty invasion of the Papal States. He spoke with emotion of the brave soldiers who died in his defence, and had the firm hope that they have obtained eternal peace and blessedness. He reproved and condemned in every way the detestable and sacrilegious attacks of the King and the Government of Piedmont. He declared their acts to be null and of no effect. He protested, and would not cease to protest, in order to maintain entire the civil power enjoyed by the Roman Church. The Pope further said that the support of foreign assistance against criminal invasion was still to be desired, and recalled the reiterated declara tions made by one of the most powerful princes of Europe. His Holiness thus continued : "Whilst, however, we have for a long time been expecting such a result, we are most pain fully affected in seeing the authors and abettors of this invasion advance as far as the walls of our capital, as though they had the assurance that no one would oppose them. "In presence of such a perilous position we see ourselves forced, even against our will, to the sad necessity of occupying ourselves with the measures to be taken for the protection of our dignity." territory. PARIS, OCT. 4. The Pays and Pairie give a denial to the reports that the Emperor will go to Warsaw. A rumour has been current on the Bourse that the Pope had left Rome, but it was considered false.

A letter from Rome, datelpe 27th of Septem. ber, says : • - "The situation is becoming daily more serious. The revolution is at Monterosi, in the . Comarca, 25 miles only from Rome, on the road to Viterbo. "The whole of Sabine has proclaimed Victor Emmanuel. Tivoli itself, which is 18 miles from Rome, is anxious to overthrow the Papal Govern. "Of the provinces which remain to the Pope, Rome and Comarca have 326,504 inhabitants Civita Vecchia, 20,704 ; Velletri, 62,013; and Frosi none, 153,569 ; a total of 560,867 inhabitants. "The Piedmontese have deprived him of the Marches, Umbria, and the province of Viterbo. The population of the Marches is 924,055, of Umbria 472,639, and of Viterbo 129,372 inhabi tants. Thus 1,526,019 inhabitants have been with drawn from the temporal sway of the Pope. " The revolutionary party are convinced that the Piedmontese will enter Rome, and have prepared large quantities of tricoloured no.kates and flags. They Imyo wycil urciered a statue of Victor Em manuel. " SEPT. 29, 10 P.M. " The French Ambassador has had another audi ence of the Holy Father, and handed him a despatch from his Government; I believe the news from Paris has led to a modification of the Pope's allocu tion. "Detachments of Papal and French gendarmes have left this morning for Ponte•Mamolo and Ponte-Salara. The greatest distance is five miles from Rome. "A revolutionary movement is announced al Subiaco, Riofredde, and Arsoli." The Arai de la Religion has the following:— "We have received the text of the allocution pronounced by the Holy Father in the Consistory of the 28th September. Our number of this day's date, which , contained that document, was going to press when an intervention of the Minister of the Interior placed us under the necessity of stopping its publication." A communication from Rome says :—" A great sensation has lately been caused here by the arrest of M. Berardi, brother of the prelate, who is Secre tary to the Cardinal Antonelli. Between the pre late and his brother the greatest affection existed, and the former, thinking that the latter was like himself devoted to the Pope, communicated to him State secrets and diplomatic correspondence ; but the brother, either from his convictions being dif ferent, or from having been bribed, communicated (it is alleged) to Garibaldi and the Piedmontese Cabinet all that he knew likely to interest them. It was from what he said that the Sardinian Cabinet learned, among other things, the plans of General de Lamoriciere, one of which was to effect a junc tion with the Neapolitan troops. The Pope was informed of his treason by the French Court, and he personally gave orders to Mgr. de Merode to have the younger Berardi arrested and prosecuted. Mgr. Berardi threw himself at the Pope's feet to implore his brother's pardon, but his Holiness was inflexible." THE CAPITULATION OF ANCONA. The Piedinontese Gazette publishes the text o the capitulation of Ancona, which is as follows : Convention on the capitulation of Ancona, agreed upon by the undersigned commissioners by order of H. E. General Fanti, Commander -in-Chief of the forces of H. M. the King of Sardinia in the Marches and Umbria, and by order of H. E. General de Lamoriciere, Commander-in- Chief of the Pontifical troops. Art. I.—The place of Ancona, with its whole armament, stores and powder, clothing, provisions, coal, vessels of war, public coffers, horses, carts, and whatever belongs to the Government, both of the civil and military branches of the land or sea-service,shall be immediately delivered to the land and sea forces of H. M. the King of Sardinia. Art. 2.—The land forces of H.M. the King of Sardinia shall immediately occupy the fortress and entrenched camp; the outworks of the Card a ett d o and gt a lunetteesPia, e a fano ; the fort of the Capuchins, and and Farina.

Art. 3.—The contracting parties shall appoint a mixed commission, each composed of an officer of Artillery, one of Engineers, and another of the Navy, and an official of the Military Intendance, to deliver and receive respectively, makinc , an inventory of whatever belongs to the Govern ment in the place and its dependencies. Art. 4.—The whole garrison of the place of Ancona, in eluding all the military functionaries, shall march out with the honours of war from the Pia gate in the direction of the Torretta, there constituting themselves prisoners of war. Art. s.—The troops composing the garrison shall march out successively by battalions or special corps of cavalry and artillery united, at intervals of half an hour each. Oct. 6.—On the arrival of the various detachments at the Torretta, the military honours being received, they shall lay down their arms, and bo marched without them to Val di Tesi, whence they shall proceed to Piedmont. The officers, on defiling before his Majesty's troops, shall offer their swords to the commander, who shall invite them to keep them. The officers shall embark on board a steamer of the State, and be taken to Genoa ; the soldiers shall continuo by land to Alessandria. H. E. General Fanti g i ves his word of honour that he will exercise all his influence with the Government in order that the capitulating troops, on arriving at Genoa and Ales - sandria, may immediately be sent to their respective coun tries, on condition that the officers give their word of honour that they will not, for I he space of ono year, fight against the troops of his Majesty. All the officers shall be allowed to take with them their baggage and horses, being their private property, according to their rank.

Grouse are unknown in Italy, and " birds" are scarce. The Italians are no very keen sportsmen, except in earlyyouth, and only Kings preserve game. Nevertheless, a convocation of Parliament on the 2d of October falls very hard on hon. members. It is the heyday of the vintage season; and, in spite of the grape disease, the hailstorms, and the rain torrents, there are still some fine bunches ripening in the sun here and there, on the hills of Asti and Montferrat, on the slopes of Scandiano, near Reggio, and on the volcanic grounds about Monte pulciano—a region growing the "King of Wines." If there be a time set apart for villeggiatura in Italy, it is this mellow fall of the year between the middle of September and the 11th of November, when the land is fresh and bright, if not so sweet as in April, and when " there is fruit to eat." Few are the Italians, even the lower ranks, who have not a few rods of a vigna to resort to— hardly one who is not - welcome to the vigna of a friend. Count Cavour waited till every man had donned his fustian jacket and straw hat, and laid him down in the shade of his own fig-tree, and lo ! he summoned 360 gentlemen of the Lower, and half as many as the Upper House, to " hear a com munication from Government" in the halls of the Carignano and Madama Palaces, in this howling wilderness of summer-depopulated Turin. It is beautiful to see how the call was attended to under such trying circumstances. Last evening that notable club with open doors called the Caffe Fiorio was swarming with Tuscan deputies, whose talkative faculties were by no means impaired by four-and-twenty hours' journey by wheels and rail. This morning the mob under the porticoes between the said caffe and the Caffe Dilej is made up of honourables from remotest Lombard and Emilian provinces. They have all come ; several of them, who have left vast palaces on the Lake of Como or the shore of Montenero, hare gone all night a-beg ging for quarters, no matter how mean, in the choke full caravanserais of this unaccommodating sub- Alpine capital. They are all come. The sitting of the House of Deputies was opened at 1 o'clock, under the presidency of M. Lanza. The members present were more numerous than th e y were on a former occasion ; the galleries, not ex cepting the Diplomatic Tribune, where Sir James Hudson attended, were crowded to suffocation. A sudden commotion arose on Admiral Persano walking across the floor of the House. The whole Chamber, members, spectators, and even Ministers, broke into a thundering applause. It was by this demonstration that his countrymen requited the Admiral's gallant conduct before Ancona. Some sensation of a different nature was also created by the circumstance that the oath was administered to the new DoratY Avezzana, a Mazzini an , f ormer l y Min;acer of War of the Roman Republic, and leader of that unfortunate Republican movement of Genoa of April, 1819, which was so nearly fatal to the liberties of Piedmont. Avezzana was for many years an exile in New York. After the fulfilment of various formalities Count Cavour read his Mes sage, conceived in the form of a declaration to a Bill laid upon the table for the discussion of the House. The Bill is thus conceived : " The King's Government is authorised to accept and to establish by Royal decrees the annexation to the State of all those provinces of Central and Southern Italy, which freely, by the direct universal suffrage, may express the will of the population to be an integrant part of our consti tutional Monarchy." I had only taken notes of the Message, read with a clear ringing voice by Count Cavour; but as it appeared in print in the course of the afternoon, I thought it so important a document that I send you a complete translation of the whole Gentlemen,-- "Three months ago, before the last adjournment, Parlia ment granted to the King's Government the supplies re quired to provide for the necessities of the State and for the promotion of the further progress of the national cause. "When the two Houses almost unanimously voted a loan sufficient not only for present need, but also for less press ing contingencies, they not only strengthened the public treasury, but infused into the Ministers that moral force which in tempestuous times is no less indispensable than pecuniary subsidies to enable them to carry on the Govern ment of a free people. " By this efficacious support the King's Government had it in their power to follow up the fortunes of Italy, and to accomplish daring enterprises which will leave a deep im pression in the history of our national regeneration. " The military preparations, pursued with activity, not withstanding the great outlay they bring with them, con tributed to cause the principle of non-intervention to be re• spected in Italy —a principle solemnly proclaimed by the Emperor Napoleon at Villafranca, and held up by the British Government, as suiting at the same time our rigbta and the true interests of Europe. "These military preparatiOns at the same time placed UN in a position rapidly to free the Marches and Umbria from the iron yoke of foreign hirelings, without too dangerously abandoning the defence of our own frontiers. "If we look at the results obtained in so short a space of time, we feel confident that the Ministers have corre sponded to the confidence of the King and the nation. At the opening of the present session the representatives of eleven millions of Italians assembled round the monarch by them unanimously proclaimed. Six months have scarcely elapsed, and already eleven more millions of Italians have broken their chains, and have become free to choose that government Which they may deem more suitable to their own wishes and interests. " The Ministers are far indeed from attributing to them selves exclusively the merit of such wonderful events. They do not deny—nay, they loudly avow, that so prodigious a change is especially to be ascribed to the initiative of the popular mind. For what concerns Naples and Sicily it is doubtless due to the generous co-operation of the Volun teers, and, more than to any other cause, to the high-souled daring of their illustrious leader, General Garibaldi. " The Ministers only venture to observe that these memo rable events were the necessary consequence of the policy formerly initiated by Charles Albert, and followed for 12 years by the Government of the present Sovereign. Had that policy been set aside, or had its ruling principles been changed or altered, the above-mentioned causes would certainly have proved powerless to accomplish the deliver ance of so large a part of Italy. " If the Ministers, therefore, deemed it their duty to hasten the convocation of Parliament at this unusual period of the year, it was not because their faith in the efficacy of these principles was at all shaken. They were brought to this resolutionbya convictionthat the present emergenci es , unforeseen on the day in which the loan was voted, laid them under a strict obligation to ascertain that they h ave not lost any part of that support of tho Chambers which constitutes the main strength of the Government. Th e y thought, besides, that by a free exposition of their intents, they would place the re p r esentatives of the nation in a po sition to pronounce a solemn judgment on the political system they have pursued. " I deem it unnecessary to recal the events lately accom plished t l hken othero l and ha n r d e , c e i t n t i , t s h n a o t t N t v h e e need not p mention he o d d ; o t t h h e a t y t h a b e r m. becomes e s matter for our deliberati on . we are to make our th e me of discussion; it is wh a t we _are now "Italyt is almost free.
