LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 10, 1860. If any one was looking forward to the Mansion House Banquet yesterday in the expectation that the convivial and complimentary speeches there delivered would possess the smallest atom of politi cal significance, he must certainly have found him self doomed to disappointment. All the customary courtesies were exchanged across the fruit and flowers--the Loving Cup having, as usual, to all appearance, circulated round the hospitable board of the great Civic Potentate with such good effect as to have flavoured appreciably all the honied words passing to and fro between the illustrious guests and their lordly entertainer. If there was any one suave ingredient that predominated over the rest appreciably in this saccharine elo • quence, it may be expressed in the one suggary mo• nosy-llable—Peace. To the concert of harmonious sounds, in which it was remarkable that that particular " theme" was the one played upon with variations by almost all the performers in succession —to that charming concord of sweet sounds the French Ambassador, of all the men in the world, may be said to have contributed the dulcet tones of the most pastoral of flageolets. It was like the warbling of the angelic song pax hominibus bona voluntatis. Insomuch that listening to its mellifluous cadences even the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Could not but remark that "the sentiments which the French Ambassador had expressed tended to peace and amity among the nations of the earth --an end," said Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " which we all ardently hoped for." Yes—truly—" the senti ments of the t French Ambassador!" But—the policy of the F rench SOVEREIGN ? Ah, that in deed is a very different matter ! Did it not occur to many of those who were hearkening last night to the dulcifluous sentences of M. le Comte de PERSlGNY—sentences expressive, as Lord JOHN s ays, of sentiments tending to promote " peace and unity among the nation s of the earth"—did it not occur to many of those who "list ene d d e li g h te d" to the trilling of the Count de PERSIGNY'S pastoral flageolet—that other sounds were audible across the Channel (in the camps and seapo r t s , i n the arsenals and dockyard s ) , nay even across the waters of the Mediterranean (in the Eternal Cit y and its outport of Civita Vecchia) the sinister sounds of the working of the grand and complex and iron mechanism of the despotic Napoleonian Govern ment. The French Ambassador is talking of peace, peace, peace—to the sound of the tread of the arwe. legions owning allegiance to his Majesty the EMI OR, and going hither and thither at the Im perial bidding with an obedience as implicit as that evicltenced by the servants of the Centurion. While the. gentle words of the Count DE PERSIGNY are still ringing in our recollection—" . Chr.que jour les esprit sont plus clairement, plus nettement frappes de cette consideration capitale, qu'ayant tout a gerdre et rien a ,gagner a de nouvelles luttes, lee deux geuples peu. - vent se faire autant de bien pour la p a d, , qu ils p ourraient se faire de mal par la gueri ;"—while tr Lese most gentle and harmonious worts are still r: ;raging in our recollection, we still „ 4 „ .\-$# ~ ,~~ N_ "a~ seem4yrherrtinfough them the trail of those light liuered brass rifle cannon, that did such dha ; dly work upon the glorious battlefields of Ma genta and Solferino, within a few weeks from, the utterance of words as prophetic of " peace and amity among the nations" —through other lips than M. le Comte DE PERSIGNY'S, though, it should be added, yet more directly (for that very reason), in the name and on behalf of the same Im- , perial Government. There is much more sig nificance, we do seriously believe, in the thunder of the guns of La Gloire than in all the bleating of the Count DE PERSIGNY'S flageolet. That we are firmly peruaded is—to employ his own euphuistic emphasis—the " true truth," "la verite vraie." That at least it is which impelled our veteran Premier tO the utterance, even in the midst of the convivialities of the Lord Mayor's Banquet yes terday, of words in every way so entirely worthy of himself as the representative before Europe—as the ministerial chief and parliamentary champion—of the fair fame and the noblest interests of all the millions of freeborn Englishmen ! We allude to that part of Lord PALMERSTON'S admirable speech in which the noble Viscount said, speaking of the QUEEN'S troops as (after the Royal Navy) our most prominent defenders —"We should not attempt in the numerical otrength of that army to rival our Continental neighbours, but we must make up the difference by other moans. We must redress the balance by our admirable militia—by our noble volunteers—which will henceforward consti tute a permanent institution of the country, and - by fortifying importnt.and vulnerable points; but, above all, we must redress the balance by • maintaining, as we always must maintain, a strong and powerful navy. I say this in the presence of the representatives of foreign and allied powers, I say it in a spirit of frankness, of cordiality, of friend ship, of alliance, and of peace." So acting—let us still repeat, let us still hope for, let us still pray for PEACE—but only so acting. Let us still keep in view the old Puritan wisdom, as expressed in the rallying cry of the Covenanters. Let us, in'a word, while putting our trust in GOD, still attend sedu lously to the drying of our gunpowder. Two facts we mentioned on Thursday should be put beside each other. The fact that, on Wednes day, VICTOR EMMANUEL entered Naples amidst universal rejoicing—rejoicin g which even torrents of rain could not damp ; and the fact of the enor mous army which Austria has accumulated in the Quadrilateral. The King of ITALY now rules in his Southern capital—the capital so recently of one of thR,IIAPs- BURG lieutenants, and one who was in all respects a worthy lieutenant of that brutal, benighted, and cruel dynasty. The King of ITALY now takes his position as the impersonation of all that Austria desired to prevent. Ever since Waterloo delivered her from fear of the First NAPOLEON, she has been labouring, directly and indirectly, to be the Sove reign of Italy. VICTOR EMMANUEL at Naples proclaims her rule utterly gone. No ill-organised patriots stand ready to become her victims ; but a patriot army, which has already aided in her defeat at Solferino, stands ready to defend Italian liberties against her to the uttermost. And the King of ITALY must complete his work. GARIBALDI proposed to do it in a very summary fashion ; and, but for the Emperor of the FRENCH violating all equity and reason by his shabby occupation of Rome, Rome, even by this time, would have offered itself as a capital for Italy, and have gladly applauded GARIBALDI'S " proclamation from the Quirinal." The French must be shamed out of Rome. The Piedmontese and the liberated Italians cannot, if they would, drive them out ; neither could they with decency attack the soldiers whose blood flowed so copiously in Northern Italy, for their liberation. But, so strong is the case Against a continued occupation of Rome, and continued en slavement of the Romans by the French, that we can almost feel confident, that a people, certainly not insensible to generous sentiments, will soon feel ashamed to mar the unity and freedom of Italy, and desire rather to boast of having aided to restore a great nation to independence. France has only to act with tborough generosity to Italy, and she will have done more for her defences on that side, more to insure an ever willing ally, than she can possibly effect by the shortsighted expedient of holding in her own hands what should be the capital of the . country. Perhaps some may read with a feeling of sadness the announcement that " GARIBALDI left yesterday morning for Caprera." We can hardly say we do. A grateful Italy should, it may be said, do for GARIBALDI something like what a grateful Eng land did for her great Captain. But GARIBALDI was born one of nature's aristocracy, and we may well question whether the titular honours of the Heralds' College would not have been rather out of keeping with the severe patriotism and nobly gene rous impulses of the greatest man Europe has pro duced of late years. The Italians will, they must, in some way, express their sense of what they owe to him; but if true of any man it is true of GARI BALDI, that his work is reward. His monument is all around him while he quietly tills his island farm. And for himself he is greatest in following the example of his two great predecessors, CINCIN NATUS and WASHINGTON. Besides, GARIBALDI may yet be wanted again, and the less encumbered his position the better. But when Rome has taken her old and proper position in Italy, there will remain that dark corner in the North. The bated old oppressor lurks there still, preparing to make his last onslaught on the fair land he has long deified. A German paper_ the Augsburg Gazette—" learns from Vienna" the numbers of the Austrian soldiers congregated in that little province of Italy called Venetia. The main army; amounts to 105,000 men, the Jagers to 17,000 more ; then there are 30 batteries, six of them rifled guns, and cavalry in proportion. In addition to all this, another corps d'ar;hee is about to enter the country. Already the advanced posts of the Piedmontese and of the Austrians frequently exchange shots at a harmless distance, but who shall say how soon such challenges may not grow into something serious. What will be the issue of all this ? Were Aus tria but sane and amenable to reason, we might find an answer; but, if in her senses, she would not do what she is now doing. She cannot afford the enormous cost of thus occupying a small pro vince. She is in difficulties she cannot yet over come, not only with Hungary, but with most of the provinces of the Empire ; and yet she madly pours into a little province an army' as large as might suffice for the whole Empire, were she but disposed to rely on just and liberal government. All looks as if she meant to take one more plunge into war, and to do it before the Italian army was organised sufficiently to attack her. Will be attacked in Venetia, unles s she 'That she ves to the Italians "quiet and peaceable possession" of that part of their country, there can be little doubt. There is not one solitary moral or equitable reason for her retaining her hold on Venetia ; and the Italians, when strong enough, will not allow h er to do it. Does she mean to make the attempt this year, or to wait till the spring ? Unquestionably if she means to move, now is her time; in six months more the Italian army will be far more for midable than at present. But she has had one recent lesson on beginning a quarrel, and will probably rather shrink from taking another. The ablest speaker amongst the Lords Spiritual has been enlightening his clergy, in a charge, on some points of interest. As the Bishop of OXFORD sat on the Church-rate Committee of the House of Lords he may be presumed to be well informed on that topic; his advice is certainly crafty enough, though we do not much care for the consequences of its adoption. He professes great alarm because, be says, Dissenters demand Church-rate abolition now, not because it is a grievance to pay towards wor ship from which we dissent, but because Church rates are an outwork of the national establishment. And his advice to the clergy, in consequence, is to make no offer of compromise to such ill-conditioned beings, " lest they should precipitate by a doubtful solution the settlement of so great a question." We beg to inform the Bishop, as indeed he might have learned abundantly from the committee's in quiries, that the opposition to Church-rates, like that to all unjust laws which have been abolished, proceeds from a variety of motives. The more ex treme Dissenters, are, as every one knows, opposed to the existence of a State Endowed Church ; and would have religion trust entirely, as, in fact, it does for much more than half the worship carried on in the British Isles, to voluntary support alone • In regarding the abolition of Church-rates as look ing in the direction of throwing the support of the Church of the Thirty-nine articles on the love of its admirers, the Dissenters of the Liberation Society take precisely the view of Lord STANLEY; who, both in speaking and writing, has stated that he thinks abolition desirable, just because it would be a step in training the State Church to that en tire dependence on voluntary support, which he affirms must be the case in the next gene ration. It is certainly surpassingly strange that a man who knows public facts so well as the Bishop of OXFORD is supposed to do, should not have been aware, till the close of last year, that Lord STANLEY and the more energetic, we might say the more consistent, Dissenters viewed Church rates in this light. But we must inform the Bishop further that statesmen and legislators cannot take account of the motives with which the individuals and sections of any considerable party advocate a measure. If so, they might have enough indeed to do. The intelligent part of the nation, when it demanded the repeal of Catholic disabilities, heard abun dantly of the motive which actuated Catholics. It was nothing less than to restore the authority of the Vatican in these realms, and to make Popery the State Church; and trembling old maidens and old wives, too, were frightened with exposure to the fate of ANNE ASKEW. But the Legislature paid no attention to motives. It dealt with the demands. It thought they were fair. It conceded them. More than that, many Catholics have by their intemperate zeal justified, almost, the vaticina tions of the NEWDEGATE and SFOONER school ; and yet but a small minority, indeed, now doubts the propriety, the duty, of Catholic Emancipation. The Protestant intelligence of the nation is at this moment prepared to defend it, not merely as a necessity of the hour, but as a simply righteous act. So of Church-rate abolition. What some Dis senters may think the best reason for it, may well be thought by others the worst, or even an argu ment, as far it goes, against it. But men of the true legislatorial spirit regard the question from quite another point of view. They have only to ask—ls the demand fair; is it made by a very large portion of the nation; does the existence of the law cause more evil, practically, than good ; have not those who would uphold the rate ample facilities for raising the money as dissenters do ; does not the law work ill for parish peace; and would not its abolition, like the abolition of bounties to many trades, result in stimulating the energies, and in improving the condition of those who ask for its retention. Even the Bishop of OXFORD would, we believe, in his heart, give the same answer to these practical and legislatorial questions, as Mr. SAMUEL MORLEY, or Dr. FOSTER. Whether the Church of England should be separated from the State, is, as yet, a question as purely theoretical, as whether England would be better governed as a Republic, with an elective President. The separa tion may be right or wrong, but it is certain, that Church-rates are wrong. Bad as a coercion of con science, bad as a perennial cause of parish disputes over a religious question, bad as setting class against class, bad as making clergymen and high Churchmen haughty, Dissenters angry, and libe ral Churchmen ashamed of their Church. As a social nuisance, and injury to religion they ought to be abolished, and theoretical consequences must be left to extreme Churchmen and extreme Dis senters. But our worthy Bishop is not content with de nouncing Church-rates Abolition, he is, if possible, still more incensed at the prospect of alteration of the Marriage Law. He expatiates on the extent to which his predictions of the consequence of making divorce equally accessible and equally difficult for all classes have been verified. It is but a stiff Church man's view after all; for surely all reasonable laymen think the new Divorce Court has been a blessing indeed to hundreds of sufferers ; and, that to re lease the miserable couples from legal bonds, was an act both of justice and of mercy. His own ful filled prophecies, therefore, if such they be, are rather an argument for the alteration of the Marriage Law than against it. We expect the more benefit from it, because the bishop objects to it. We desire the very things as a social good which he thinks anti-canonical evils. The bishop has no doubt received, as well as other peers, the astounding report of the com mittee on petitions, which shows such an array of petitions from corporations and other official bodies, with such a list of first class signa tures, as must push almost any measure through the Legislature. He also finds that Lord BURY is likely again to resume his place in Parliament, so that the year 1361 may very probably see the Legislature perpetrate the awful crime of allowing persons to marry whom the laws of GOD and Nature do not forbid ; but to whom a musty old canon of the Church—a mere frag ment of ancient superstition, or of something worse —refuses a Church marriage. We give his state ment entire.. Having reviewed the arguments on the subject, his lordship said :—" That should the State acknowledge the marriage of a person with a deceased wife's sister to be legal, the law of the State and the law of the Church must necessarily be at variance; for, by her essential constitution, the Church could make no such alteration in her laws. To her, incest must remain incest, whatever the State might decree. The law of the Church and the law of the State would then be hopelessly at variance ; and the least evil that could result would be, that the State, abandoning its present religious ground, must, for the future, leave every spiritual body to settle their own rules and condi tions as to the celebration of the religious rite of marriage, and, for the future, provide simply for the ratification of a civil contract between any of its subjects. Against such an alteration of the law 1 4 ~.- ~~;,, THE SUN, LONDON; SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1860. he would beseech every man, by every law- ' ful means, earnestly and resolutely to protest." Again, we must confess, that what to the Bishop seems an unmitigated evil to us appears to be altogether good. What has the State to do with the religious sanction to marriage ? Indeed it has confessed this already, for it has provided a civil form, at the office of the Registrar, of which thousands have availed themselves. But is it perversity—for it cannot be stupidity—which causes the Bishop to overlook the difference be tween the State not forbidding and the State en joining any act. Were the State to decree, as the book does, to which the Bishop appeals, that a man must marry the childless widow of his de ceased brother, that would be hardship enough, and many besides the Bishop would kick at it. But the real question is simply this—according to the Bishop's view, the Church of England says these marriages are incestuous. Nearly every other Christian sect in England, and the Jews also, say that they are not only not incestuous, but they are commendable. So indeed says the present Pioneer of England. On such a disputed question the Bishop's matrimonial theology should not be made compulsory on those who differ from it. It is at bottom simply a question between ecclesiasti ca 1 tyranny and religious liberty. There is no getting rid of this view of the case. This was clearly and unanswerably put before the House of Lords last year, and next year, we trust, it will be as potent as it is unanswerable. No person will, under the proposed alteration, be compelled to do what he disapproves, no minister to perform a re ligious service to which he conscientiously objects ; but the person who thinks that by marrying his deceased wife's sister he shall do what GOD ap proves, what his intelligent fellow Christians ap prove also, and what will be a benefit to his children, will be released from all episcopal penal. ties in fulfilling his wish, COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR-CASTLE, Nov. 9. The Prince and Princess of Leiningen arrived at the Castle yesterday afternoon on a visit to her Majesty. In the evening the Queen and Prince Consort, accom panied by Princess Alice and the Prince and Priacess of Leiningen, visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent at Frogmore. Their Serene Highnesses the Hereditary Prince and Princess of Holstein Augustenbourg paid an early visit of congratulation this morning, and took breakfast with her Majesty. The usual parade of the troops composing the garrison of Windsor, including the Windsor Rifle Volunteers, took place this morning in the Home Park in honour of the Prince of Wales's birthday, notwithstanding the disappoint ment caused by the non-arrival of his Royal Highness in England. Her Majesty also distributed the Victoria Crosses. At 10 o'clock, the line having been formed under the com mand of Colonel Dalrymple, Scots Fusilier Guards, and the recipients of the Victoria Cross being present, the Queen and Prince Consort came on the ground, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Princess Alice, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, Princess Helena, Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, the Duke of Cambridge and the Princess of Lein ingen, and their Serene Highnesses Prince Leiningen and the Hereditary Prince and Princess of Holstein Augusten bourg. The troops having presented arms, a feu dejoie was fired, and three cheers were given for the Prince of Wales. Her Majesty then proceeded to distribute the Victoria Crosses, when the following persons were decorated : Mr. William Fraser M'Donell, Bengal Civil Service, ma gistrate of Sarun, for great coolness and bravery on the 30th of July, 1857. Major Charles Craufurd Fraser, 7th Hussars (now 11th Hussars), for conspicuous and cool gallantry on the 31st of December, 1858. Captain (now Major) George Alexander Renny, Bengal Horse Artillery, for having with great gallantry mounted to the top of the wall of the magazine of Delhi, 16th of September, 1857. Lieutenant (now Captain) Aylmer Spicer Cameron, late 72d Regiment (now of 25th Regiment), for conspicuous bravery on the 30th March, 1858, at Kotah. Lieutenant John Grant Malcolmson, 3d Bombay Light Cavalry, for rescuing a brother officer in extreme danger on the Bth of February, 1857. Surgeon Joseph Jee, C. 8., 78th Regiment, for most con spicuous gallantry and importaat services on the entry of the late Major-General Havelock's relieving force into Lucknow in September, 1857. Colour-Sergeant George Waller, Ist battalion 60th Rifles, for conspicuous bravery on the 14th and 18th September, 1857, at Delhi. Colour-Sergeant Stephen Garvin, Ist battalion 60th Rifles, for daring and gallant conduct before Delhi on the 23d of June, 1857. Colour-Sergeant James Munro, late 93d Regiment, for devoted gallantry at Secunderabagh on the 16th of No vember, 1857, in rescuing a wounded officer of the same corps. Farrier George Hollis, late Bth Hussars, selected for the Victoria Cross by his companions in the gallant charge made by a squadron of the regiment at Gwalior on the 17th of June, 1858. Bugler Wm. Sutton, Ist battalion, 60th Rifles, for gallant conduct at Delhi on the 13th of September, 1857, the night previous to the assault, in volunteering to reconnoitre th breach, and throughout the operations. Private Samuel Morley, 2d battalion, Military Train, for saving an officer's life on the 15th of April, 1858. Private John Kirk, Ist battalion, 10th Foot, for daring gallantry at Benares on the 4th of June, 1857. Private Denis Dempsey, Ist battalion, 10th Foot, for having at Lucknow, on the 14th of March, 1858, carried a powder-bag through a burning village for the purpose of mining a passage in rear of the enemy's position, and for another act of gallantry on the 12th of August, 1857. Private Henry Addison, late 43d Regiment, for gallant conduct on the 2d of January, 1859, near Kurrereah, when he received two dangerous wounds and lost a leg. Private James Thompson, Ist battalion, 60th Rifles, for gallant conduct in saving the life of his captain on the 9th of July, 1857. Private John Divane, lst battalion, 60th Rifles, for dis tinguished gallantry in heading a successful charge by the Belooch and Sikh troops on one of the enemy's trenches before Delhi on the 10th of September, 1857. The troops then marched past, and having re-formed line and presented arms, returned to their quarters. TILE EMPRESS OF AUST.RIA. A communication from Vienna in the Constitutionnel has the following :—Two years ago the Empress Elizabeth, who will next month attain her 23d year, gave birth to her third child. Since that time she has been attacked with a dry cough, and has fallen away in a manner the more ex traordinary that before she was remarkable for her brilliant freshness of complexion. Although no alarming symptoms have declared themselves, the disease under which she la bours made such visible progress that the Archduchess Sophia, her mother-in-law, was induced, during the recent absence of the Emperor at Warsaw, to have a consultation of the most celebrated Austrian physcians, such as Seeds, Oppoltzer, and others, whose unanimous advice was that, in order effectually to combat the malady, the Empress should proceed as soon as possible to the milder climate of the Azores, and remain there at least during the winter. This decision of the faculty was immediately transmitted by telegraph to the Emperor, who, fearing that a greater danger had been concealed from him, remained under a feeling of the greatest anxiety until his return to Vienna, when, be coming tranquilised he immediately occupied himself with the necessary preparations for her Majesty's voyage. M. Bayer, private secretary of the Empress, immediately left for Southampton, whence he will proceed by the first steam-packet to Madeira to procure apartments for her Majesty, whose departure will take place about the 18th or 20th instant. Her suite will consist of Count Nobili, three ladies of honour and two physicians, with a suitable number of servants of both sexes. In order to avoid as much as possible the fatigue of a long voyage, particularly at this period of the year, when the navigation of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean is rough, it has been de cided that her Majesty shall embark at one of the Atlantic ports, and Antwerp, Southampton, and Calais have been talked of, but without any decision being yet come to. As all the Austrian vessels of war are now fitted out for active service, it would require several weeks to prepare ono for the Empress and her suite, and she will therefore proceed to her destination by an English steam frigate which the Queen of England has kindly placed at her disposal. The absence of her Majesty will be for at least six months. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian and the Princess Char lotte will arrive at Vienna from Tricete next week, to take leave of the Emyress." His Excellency the Prussian Minister is confined to his residence by indisposition. The Duke of Somerset will be elected one of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House in the room of the late Earl of Dundonald. A marriage is arranged to take place between the Countess of Rothes and the Hon. George Waldegrave, younger brother of the present Earl Waldegrave. The Countess of Rothes succeeded her brother in the honours of her family on his death last year. L_A TEST NEWS. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) NAPLES, Nov. 9. Garibaldi took leave of his Majesty today, and afterwards left for the island of Caprera, over• whelmed with the most striking demonstrations of sympathy from the King, the staff, the officers, and the army in general. He paid a farewell visit to Admiral Mundy. TURIN, Nov. 8. The Opinione publishes the following despatch dated Naples, Nov. 8 : On the entry of the King into Naples, Garibaldi sat at his side in the carriage. To-day, at 11 a.m., Garibaldi, accompanied by the Ministry, formally presented to the King the result of the plebiscite. His Majesty received them in the Throne-room. The Minister, Signor Con forti. addressed the King thus : " Sire,—The Neapolitan people, assembled in their electoral eomitia, have proclaimed you King by an immense majority. Nine millions of Italians are uniting themselves to the other provinces which your Majesty governs with so much wisdom, verifying your solemn promise that Italy should belong to the Italians." The King replied in a few expressive words. The deed of annexation was then drawn up, the Dictatorship ceased, and the Ministry resigned. The enthusiasm of the people continues. FRIDAY. Signor Montezemolo is about to proceed to Sicily as Governor-General. Signor La Farina has been appoin ted Director of the Interior Department in Sicily, and Father Lanza to the Directorship of Public Instruction. It is asserted that negotiations were yesterday commenced between Gen. Fanti and the commander of Gaeta for the evacuation of the fortress. PARIS, Nov. 9. Baron Hubner will leave Paris this evening. He will return to Venice via Vienna. M. de Courcy, French Consul at Ancona, whose name was mentioned in the differences between the Duke de Gramont and Cardinal Antonelli, has been recalled, and will be appointed elsewhere. BERNE, NOT. 9. The conferences with Rome for the severance of the connection of Tessin and Poschiavo with the chief Lombardian religious authorities were con cluded to-day. The result is not known. THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA MAIL. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 10. The African mail steamer Ethiope is reported off this port. A dense fog prevails, and the steamer has no yet communicated with Liverpool. FRANCE.

" We have received," says the Pays, " from Naples some details of the engagements of the 29th ult. and the 3d inst. between the Piedmontese and the Neapolitans. In the former the royalists had the advantage; a number of the Piedmontese were killed and others made prisoners. The Neapolitans, however, lost one of their bravest officers, General Negri, who had been promoted to that rank with extraordinary rapidity from that of captain. He has been buried at Gaeta with great pomp; the admirals of the squadrons of the Powers still re presented by ambassadors sendin g deputations of their officers to attend. In the affair of the 3d the Neapolitans having been attacked both by land and sea, were beaten, and left upwards of 500 dead on the field of battle. The re mainder retired in good order into Gaeta, carrying their wounded with them. It appears that the Piedmontese did not obtain all the results they ex pected from their victory of the 3d. They are still encamped about three miles from Gaeta, where the Neapolitans are still engaged in strengthening their means of defence. The opinion now is that Francis 11. will not long continue his resistance. It is probable that the defenders of the place will hesitate before the inutility of further bloodshed, and that a capitulation will take place." The Patric has the following :—" Some precise information has reached us relative to the situation of Venice. The works undertaken to put the coast in a state of defence being terminated, have been inspected by the Archduke Maximilian. They have been executed along the whole of the coast comprised between the point of the Maestra to the Bay of Frione, and embraces an extent of about 110 kilometres (& of a mile each). The six ports of Brondolo, Chioggia, Malamocco, Saint Erasme, and Tre-Porte, situated between Venice and the open sea, are now protected by formidable fortifications most of them raised during the last two years, and so situated that it would be impossible for wooden vessels of war to force the entrance of them. The total number of forts still being constructed on the Lagoons are 16. They are united together by means of smaller batteries. These forts could not be taken by any attack from the sea. They would require a landing and a regular siege, and to undertake operations of that kind an enormous military force and a considerable fleet would be necessary. The mouths of the Adige, the Brenta, the Tagliamento, and the Stella have also been for tified. Austria, in executing such works, has been influenced by the idea that Venetia may be in a few months the object of an attack by sea on the part of the Italians. The attention of the Court of Vienna is not directed exclusively on Venetia, but also em braces her other possessions in the Adriatie ; and works are now being constructed for fortifying the Morlaque Channel, which takes in the whole extent of the coast of Croatia and of Hungary that is washed by the Sea of Quarnero. It is also stated .0. as positive that Venetia is about to have a Consti tution, intended to secure her complete Pelf govern ment ; that the Archduke Maximilian will be named Viceroy, and be assisted by a Senate and an elective chamber sitting at Venice." The following order of the day has beet issued by the Minister of War of Francis 11. : " Soldiers, without notice, or any frank and loyal declaration of war, the Sardinian army has invaded the kingd')m. Thus, in the combats of Isernia and of Venafro, you found before you not only the army of revolution, but another numerous and disciplined one, the army of a Government which still kept up appearances of friendship towards our august King, Francis 11. The situation is therefore changed, but is much more honourable for you, and your resistance will be the more glorious. The Commander-in -Chief was in vited the day before yesterday to an insi. dious and perfidious interview, and the Pied montese General said to him, The Neapolitan army, hemmed in on a small strip of land, must give up its arms, and is no longer in a state to fight, King Victor Emmanuel being already at Venafro,' General Saizano replied like a true sol dier, The strip of land will be defended inch by inch, and I only recognise the august King Francis 11., who still holds the ground between Sessa and the fortress of Gaeta.' This reply will guide your conduct, and civilised Europe of the 19th century cannot remain a passive spectator of such great and numerous enormities. But certainly, at the news of the glorious feat of arms of the 26th, and of that of yesterday on the banks of the Garigliano, it will know how to reward your bravery and constancy, and will see how, in the midst of increasing diffi culties, the Neapolitan army maintains both in officers and subordinates the same spirit of military honour. " ANTONIO ULLOA. " 30th Oct., 1860." HUNGARY. Advises from Pesth state that the opposition is getting general in Hungary, against the clauses of the Imperial diploma which transfer the voting of the taxes and the recruiting of the army from the two Hungarian Chambers to the superior council of the empire. The Imperial Government, knowing from experience how ill adapted the old system is for keeping on foot a regular army, has determined on maintaining the conscription for Hungary, as for the other provinces of the empire. Hence the increasing opposition of the Magyar popula tion ; and it is already foreseen at Vienna that the ministry, in order to obviate the dangers which might arise from this agita tion, will soon be compelled to modify those clauses of the diploma of the 20th October, which concern the voting of the taxes and the recruitment of the military contingent. The Hungarians would then be, as before 1848, invested with these attributions. A letter from Pesth says :—" Hungarian self-government and the Con cordat cannot possibly co-exist ; the Primacy of the archiepiscopal see of Gran, so closely connected with the Hungarian constitution, is assailed in its very basis by several provisions of the Concordat. One of the principal tasks of the next Hungarian Diet will, therefore, be to secure all the rights of the primatial dignity as an integral and indispen sable part of the self-government of the country." SAXONY. The session of the Saxon Chambers was opened at Dresden on the 6th inst. by the King in person. The following are the chief passages of his Majesty's speech on the occasion : " Gentlemen,—When last I assembled you round me it was to ask you, under the imminent danger of war, for your support, which you granted me with patriotic devotion. "The pacific turn which things have taken, in so unexpected a manner, has rendered superfluous the extended employment of the grants which you voted, and has even enabled me to return to the country already this year the extraordinary sums which you granted, " I feel a particular satisfaction that the favour able situation of our finances enables me to propose to you, without imposing new burdens upon the country, the credits which the tension which still exists in political affairs exacts to complete our military organisation, and without it being neces sary for that to renounce other useful expenses for the prosperity of the country. " The perturbation caused by political complica tions to commerce and industry has given place, after the re-establishment of peace, to a new impulse of commerce and industry, and, thanks to God, the country has latterly been exempt from any great calamity. _ _ _ " A glance abroad gives less satisfaction thau one at home. If hitherto the pacific relations of our smaller country and of our greater country have not been disturbed, and if the movements which agitate a portion of Europe are distant from us, still no unprejudiced observer can behold without anxiety events which threaten to upset the principles of international law. The union and firm persistency of all Governments in the path of right are, under these circumstances, the best guarantee for the future ; and in like manner, as that tendency has always been the essential object of my own policy, I have also found the same conviction in the hearts of my German confederates. " I count upon persevering for the future, like wise, in that path, and to favour also, as far as possible, the development of German affairs in a federal sense. " Commence, then, your labours with God's blessing. Let us turn to account the time of peace which is allowed us toincrease the real welfare of the people by calculated but constant progress, so as to be prepared to meet all the storms of the future, from which it may please God to preserve us." CHINA. The following short description of the part of China in which the allied forces are operating is published by the Moniteur de l' Armee :-- "China forms an immense State, the political action of which is entirely concentrated in the city of Pekin. When any difficulties are to be settled with the Guvernment of this vast empire, it is the capital that it is necessary to disquiet. That system, followed by the allied forces, has just been crowned with complete success. The city of Pekin is situated in the province of Tchi-Li which comprises the old Petchi•Li and a part of the country of the Mand choux, and is one of the most important of the northern provinces of the empire. Its length is 650 kilometres (five -eighths of a mile each), and its breadth 440. It is crossed by the Peiho, a broad river which falls into the large bay of Petehi-Li, situated 600 kilometres from Shanghai. The Peiho passes by Toung-Tcheou, a town of great commerce, situated about 160 kilo metres from its mouth, on its right bank. One of the tributary streams of the Peiho, which was canalised by the Emperor Kang-I . li, in 1685, puts the capital in communication with Toung-Tcheou, from which it is distant 20 kilometres. The city of Pekin is, therefore, 180 kilometres from the Bay Petchi-Li and from the mouth of the Peiho. As this river gives direct access to the capital, the Em perors of China have, since 1697, raised different works to defend and fortify its entrance. It is those works, of which the forts of Taku may be considered the principal, which have been taken in such a brilliant manner, and the allied troops are now only separated from Pekin by the two towns of Tien• tsin and Toung-Tcheou, situated on the Peiho, at about 90 kilometres one from the other. The Bay of Petchi- Li communicates with the Yellow Sea; it is 380 kilometres long by 200 kilometres broad. On its right extends another bay, that of Leao-tong, which is . 250 kilomet res long. The opening of the Petehi-Li, between Ping tchou, on the island of Chang-Chan, on the coast of China, and the point of Lao-tienchan on the coast of the Corea, is 80 kilometres. The Yellow Sea, and the Bays of Petchi-Li and Leao-tong, are of very difficult navigation, particularly after the end of September. The province of Tchi-Li r in which the allied troops have operated, is traversed by numer ous rivers and canals, and is very swampy. These natural obstacles increase the merit and the glory of the victory just gained." MESSRS. CHAPPELL'S PIANOFORTE NIANUFAC- TonY.—Last night Mr. Brent, the deputy-coroner for the western division of Middlesex, held a long inquiry at the house of Mr. Wibrow, the King's Head Tavern, Little White Lion-street, St. Giles's, respecting the death of Mrs. Caroline Pitt, aged 37, who lost her life through an explo sion which took place at the fire which occurred on Sunday morning last in the pianoforte manufactory belonging to Messrs. Chappell and Co., of Phoenix-street, Soho. Evi dence having been given in corroboration of the statements already published, the jury returned the following verdict : "That Caroline Pitt died from the mortal effects of an ex travasation of blood, and other injuries to her head; that she there did instantly die ; and that the said extravasation andother injuries were caused by external violence,by means of a certain piece of iron propelled against her body by an explosion of pipes during a certain fire ; and that the cause of the explosion aforesaid is to them (the jurors) un known." The works at the National Gallery (says the Builder) are being vigorously proceeded with by Messrs. Cubitt and Co., under Mr. Pennethorne's direttion, but we can scarcely believe that they will be completed within the few weeks originally spoken of as the length of tune during which the gallery would be closed. 31R. BAXTER, 21f.P., ON TILE COMMERCIAL TREATY. Mr. Baxter, M.P. for Montrose, addressed his constituents on Wednesday evening. After allud ing to the useless talk of the past session, the re jection of Lord John Russell's Reform Bill, which he regarded as a misfortune, and the public ques tions, the hon. gentleman adverted to the commer cial treaty with Franc e as o f it se lf re d eem i ng the session —as one of the greatest and most beneficial measures of modern times. " Even as the treaty originally stood—or rather had nothing been done beyond giving strict effect to its provi• sions-1 believe it would have proved an un mixed blessing to both countries ; but you know now that the duties are to be lower than 30 per cent.—that the time for bringing them into operation, in most instances, is to be anticipated, and that all those statements put forth by the limes newspaper about the illibe rality and bad faith of the French Government were fabrications, the object or reason of which I care not to inquire. I envy not the feelings either of the conductors of that journal or any one who followed them in a course as ungenerous as it is unjust. A gentleman who has given great atten tion to this subject said to me the other day, ' I should not be surprised if the trade with France, under the treaty, amounted to five millions sterling the first year.' Perhaps he is right. In the article of earthenware alone the commerce will be im mense. We have all France to supply with plates, and then those of us who go there will get hot din ners, which we never got before. (Laughter.) The English potteries could send these articles at the 30 per cent. duty, but the duty is not to be 30 but 20 per cent., with a further reduction in three years ; and the duty on porcelain is to be only 10 per cent. Knives and cutlery of all sorts—the manufactures of Sheffield in general —are in the same position. Formerly they were prohibited —now they are to be admitted at a moderate rate of duty ; and I believe, gentlemen, that you have scarcely begun to realise the effect which this treaty is to have in stimulating and in creasing the manufacturing prosperity of Forfar shire. The duties—and I am enabled to give them. on authority —are to be on flax yarns 10 per cent. ; on linen cloth, 15 per cent,—these rates being calculated on specific classifications, which. have been fixed so low, that, on present rates, the average duty on flax yarns will only be 64 t0 6i per cent., and on cloth about 12 per cent. The duty on jute, in the mean time, is to be 20 per cent. on cloth and 15 per cent. on yarns, to be re duced to 15 per cent. on cloth, and 10 per cent. on yarns in 1864. The difficulty of getting jute put in lower arises from the operations of the Naviga tion Laws, which lay a heavy sur-tax on the raw material, if brought in foreign bottoms from India, and which put a differential duty even on jute brought by French ships from London. lam in formed, however, that this absurd system is likely to fall to the ground as a necessary consequence of the reform in the French tariff. Now, gentlemen, just compare the stale of duties on our staple manufactures with the total prohibition which has existed for years, or even with the average rate of duty under the old tariff, which enabled us in For farshire, as we all know, to do a very large business with France. (Hear.) The average per centage then was about 17 ; now it will be barely 9 ; and for this you are indebted to Mr. Cob den, ably assisted by the deputation from Dundee, and also by Mr, Dickson and Dun kirk, whose practical knowledge and liberal views have done good service to the cause of free trade. Well, but, gentlemen, these are not solitary or exceptional instances. I learn from the same unquestionable authority that in all the other ar ticles of the tariff the duties will be equally mode rate. They will not average 15 per cent., much. less 30, which the treaty allowed as a maximum, and which it was the fashion to assume, a few months ago, the French Government would oppose on every item, To bring about the great reform in the French tariff—to give the people of France a taste of the blessings of free trade—to put in by this means the small end of the wedge which is destined eventually to split up all the protec tionist and prohibitory tariffs on the Continent— to open up a trade between two great and. jealous nations, and to compel them, out of regard to their material interests, to keep the peace—in this great and hallowed work my friend, Mr. Cobden, has toiled and suffered for a year; and in a letter which I received from a friend in Paris some weeks ago my correspondent says : The Commission of Inquiry which has for several months been hearing French and English witnesses on every branch of manufactures has now termi nated its labours, and they are at the last stage of their task, arranging the details of the French tariff. Every article—between 200 and 300 in. number—has to be revised and discussed, with a view to fixing a rate of duty in each case. It is a tedious and laborious task. There is no instance on record of a government making so sudden and sweeping a reform in its commercial system as that which the French are now effecting. (Cheers.) We took 20 years to do what is here being done in a twelvemonth." DEPA.R7URE OF G ARIBALDI FROM ..1 7 APLES. Yesterday morning, about the hour when the enlightened tagragocracy of the commercial metro polis of the world were gathering together to assist at the barbarous mysteries of Gog and Magog; when turtle-minded civic dignitaries were sitting, pompous and stuffy, a spectacle to gods and men, in awful pride and circumstance of equipage and costume ; when Aldermen and Common Councillors were courting the east wind for an appetite, and trying to look as if they had invented London—at that very hour a very different scene was being enacted in Southern Italy; a scene startling enough to the modern mind of men of business and to"the positive wisdom of this age of gold. A vic torious soldier, a powerful ruler, a sovereign in all but the name, was offering up the rich guerdon of his heroic self-devotion on the altar of an emanci pated country, and departing amidst tears and blessings, poor as he came—a conqueror, a deli verer, a Dictator, a plain man, without honour, or reward, or favour of earthly sort—back to the lonely island and the humble farm. Lord of the hearts of a liberated nation, master of an island kingdom, and of the fairest province of the garden of Europe, Garibaldi, at the summit of power and in the ful ness of triumph, salutes the King of Italy, and into his chosen Sovereign's hands commits the solemn trust of the national independence which his own right arm has achieved. History, in its most legendary epochs, has few pages like this ; and eve, the latest heirs of time, can ill afford to let an ex ample that redeems the baseness of a century die out in a day like a Lord Mayor's fooling. We can well imagine that the stern simplicity of this great, good man's farewell will seem fantastic in the lofty regions of diplomacy and finance, and will somewhat disconcert the fastidious properties of courtly circles. These antique heroes are well enough on the stage, or as themes for schoolboy de clamation. Self-sacrifice is a touching effect in a drama ; it sounds well in a sermon ; it is one ofthose moral dainties which serve to titillate the exhausted sentiment of good society; and it is all the more pun gent that it is absurdly unreal. It is a picture, a poem ; an operatic scena, a luxury of the senses and the imagination ; but in the waking world of actual men and women—f i done !—self-sacrifice is an anachronism, a fable, a romance of vulgar and empty radical conceit. What is to become of " Order," and of all the virtues which are fostered by the monarchical principle, and spring up with rank parasitical abundance in the atmosphere of Courts, if the world is to witness such a spectacle as this of a man bestowing kingdoms, yet content to serve his country withoub reward; a man faithful to his word, destitute of personal ambition, flying from wealth and worldly distinctions, and as eager to escape the caresses of fortune, and the fickle enthusiasm of shouting cities, as the vulgar great are in their pursuit ? Happily for the thrones and aristocracies which the world still worships, a Washington and a Gari baldi are exceptional figures, and their example is not catching. A selfish conspirator who has confis cated the liberties of a nation in a night, and who steeps a people in corruption for the security of a despot's throne ; a monarch more or less legitimate, who buys allegiance with bayonets , and whose cour tiers dance over dungeons in which intellect, and conscience, and dauntless patriot ism are wasting to death—these are the heroes of the high world's admiring sympathy and respect. If , calamity over takes them, what a shack to society . If they dis appear, what a vacuu m they leave behind . rom the moment when, wi th a handful of de voted followers, the liberator of Italy stepped ashore at Marsala, to the moment when he e xc h ange d a simple sailor's farewell with Admiral Mundy at s ' Naples, the glory of Garibaldi enterprise has never suffered a moments eclipse. Bravest of the brave, gentlest of the gentle, simplest of the simple hearted, truest of the true, from first to last ! Never sparing his own precious life, never shedding a drop even of an enemy's blood without pity in capable of dissembling, impatient only of dis semblers, he leaves to the Neapolitan people, degraded by long servitude, an ideal of all Christian and heroic virtues ; of courage, tem per„ ce , patience. self-denial, simplicity, kind ness, fidelity. May Italy look through the dangers an d darkness of the future to that lonely isle of caprera as the stormtossed seaman looks to the light burning over the waters. When Italy is in perils Garibaldi will be in her " midst again; it i 3 only in the hour of her triumph that he is seen no more,—La ill/ News.
