LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 30, 1860. "It went up a rocket and came down a stick,' is happily the history of the Warsaw meeting. From the hour of its announcement almost to the hour of its break up, it looked so splendid an affair that something seemed sure to come of it. Three such great Sovereigns, as the last century or half century has counted Sovereigns—and at a time so big with events to Sovereigns—the an nouncement that the dangers to Sovereigns was the cause of the meeting—and the exclusion of elected Sovereigns and the rulers of smaller states—all looked so portentous that it seemed scarcely pos- sible that the august assembly should separate with nothing done. On one point, too, they were all in such thorough harmony the divine right of legitimate Kings that it seems almost miraculous they should not have agreed on something which they could proclaim to all Europe, as likely to strengthen that venerable old right now not only so rudely questioned, but so fiercely and successfully attacked in the two most highly civilised states of the Continent. It was indeed time for the old dynasties to do something, when two great nations practically assert popular suffrage to be the basis of supreme authority. There can now, however, we may hope, be hardly any doubt that each of the Monarchs might write home to their Consorts—" I came, I saw, I went," for, what they did beside appears to have been little enough. Each must have left sadly mortified. Russia, as was Industriously announced, by way of feeling the state of opinion, wanted her old access to the Danube, perhaps a little more liberty on the Black Sea ; hut, to " revise the Treaty of Paris," in the sense of making Russia again master of the great Austrian River was more than even Austria liked to concede, and there were other powers who would not have permitted it had Austria wished to strengthen against herself a neighbour already so powerful. What A ustr i a wanted is patent—to secure H ungary whil e s h e attacked Italy. For this she was ready to o ff er Hungary a sheen restoration of her rights, and to Russia the boou of a Hungary really without self government, provided Russia would only place on the borders of that country an army which should deter the Hungarians from rising while her back was turned. That, however , was no t enou gh this time. Russia could not afford another Hungarian intervention, and, if she could, she cannot wholly forget how the last was repaid, and how little the suppression of Hungarian liberties then has done towards quieting the demand of her own serfs for more liberty now. As for Prussia, the Rhine was doubtless her chief thought, and, probably, it was also an objeet to make her Constitution, if possible, still more of a sham than it is. But, apart from the awkward nesss of too open divergence from England, any thing like a guarantee to aid the projects of the other two Powers was too high a price for the additional help she might gain. Selfishness was no doubt the frustration of their counsels. Each Ranted something, but each had nothing they liked to give, or could give in return. Austria we may well believe to be half ruined already • by the army she keeps in Venetia, after ' • having exhausted her Exchequer and her credit too • in the It align war. Russia has been worse than penniless ~ ver since the Crimean war. Neither could do anything that involved expense, and the armies of despots .are very expensive; and Prussia does not ' like to spec id a penny, even if she could afford it. Hence, after a little sifting and sounding of each other, at the single official meeting which, we are informed, was held, the Monarchs had nothing to do but to express their best wishes for each other, but to be sorry to be unable to contribute to each other's necessities. And so ended as a farce what was meant to be a rectification of the Continent. Sickness of somebody is one of the most common subterfuges of Russian diplomatists ; this time it was thought best to have "a lady in the case"— the Dowager EMPRESS ; and hunting, accordingly, and Conferences :all came suddenly to an end; the CZAR, the EMPEROR, and the KING posting north, south, and west as fast as they could. Who is the most disappointed cannot be doubted. The object of the meeting was to save Austria a double humiliation—the humiliation of parting with Venetia for money if she will take it now, for nothing if she hold out too long ; and the humilia tion also of dealing sincerely with Hungary by conceding in reality the liberties she seems to offer. For all that appears yet, Austria is left entirely to shift for herself; and it may be hoped, therefore, that she will be coerced into liberality and honesty by sheer necessity. It must be wormwood and gall indeed to the young Hapsburg who has, ever since his accession, been manifesting even in youth all the odious political vices of his family, to have to inaugurate a free Italy and a free Hungary, but it seems as if he must do it or sink altogether. It may be doubted whether the alternative of banishment does not seem to him almost as de sirable as that of reigning over a free people through a responsible Ministry. What is the glory of Queen VICTORIA, what endears her to her own people, and even to our jealous descend ants the Americans, would seem to a Hapsburg hardly worth calling power. A Hapsburg must not only reign, but govern, and not only govern but govern by the scaffold and the bullet, the dungeon and the stick. This is not declamation. FRANCIS JOSEPH might in twenty-four hours be the most popular Monarch in Europe. Could he but make up his mind honestly to give to all the nations composing his dominions (Venetia excepted, since she must belong to Italy) the same free insti tutes as we possess in this country, the past would be forgotten, the occupation of KOSSUTH and GARIBALDI would be gone ; and freedom would har monise into a strong empire the nationalities which, under a despotism, are ever ready to explode it into fragments. Let all who have the least sympathy for the Hapsburg, if there be such persons, re member that all his sorrows are caused by one thing—and one thing only—he hates the thought of reigning over freemen. If he be ruined it will be by obstinacy for despotism. At the Conservative Demonstration which took place on Thursday last in the Guildhall of Wor cester—and a report of the proceedings of which we laid before our readers in our impression of Saturday—Sir JOHN PAKINGTON rather cruelly " told the secrets of the prison house," " let the cat out of the bag," turned QUEEN'S evidence (or however we may please to term his conduct, speak ing of it metaphorically) in regard to the secret or only suspected disquietudes of her MAJESTY'S Go vernment. It may be objected in reference to any such accusation as this that it is hardly within the limits of possibility that Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, from the mere nature of his political position, could act in Ns manner in regard to any member or members of the PALMERSTON Administration. It will be said, the thing is impracticable—Sir JOHN, as one of the Conservative party now in opposition, could not possibly have the chance of laying bare the secret discomforts of the Cabinet, the heartburnings and jealousies of the sixteen Ministers of the Coali tion. His knowledge upon the matter could not be any more than the average esoteric knowledge appertaining to any one of the vigilant leaders of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Anything like esoteric information would belong only to some of the "gods" themselves—to a HAROLD SMITH or to a SOWERBY—not by any possibility, or at any rate, by any very apparent probability, to one of the "giants" banished from office, and biding their time in the limbo of Opposition. Nevertheless, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON did have an opportunity ofjudg ing for himself of the happy internal condition of the Coalition Government—the right hon. baronet actually did have this opportunity during the course of last session—and what is more, he appears to have thoroughly availed himself of it. He caught a peep behind the scenes upon the occasion of the memorable Committee of Inquiry, as to precedents in regard to the extremely vexed question of the Lords and the Paper Duties—and we may now all of us enjoy in our turn, through the reflexion of Sir JOHN PAKINGTON'S memory, the same agreeable little peep behind the scenes vicariously. Casting his mind a few months back, Sir JOHN PAXINGTON on Thursday last reminded his hearers at Worcester of what has latterly been in a great measure overlooked or forgotten—viz., that the differences in the Cabinet have, from the moment of its formation, been extreme, and in many respects really extraordinary. Sir JOHN added that, having been himself on the committee we have just now referred to, he had then an excellent opportunity of observing the intensity and effect of those operations. Yet he cannot help observing immediately with a still vivid sense of what we may term retrospective admiration— " Notwithstanding the railing of Mr. GLADSTONE and the quieter opposition of Lord J. RUSSELL, Lord PALMERSTON (then and there) triumphed." This triumph it was of the veteran Premier which in the concluding part of Sir JOHN PAKINGTON'S speech led him to remark that —" It would be wrong if, while speaking on the subject, he did not allude to the part which Lord PALMERSTON had taken on the occasion of the rejection of the bill for the repeal of the paper duty by the House of Lords." The Right Hon. Baronet observing, moreover—" He considered that the Conservative party throughout England owed to Lord PALMERSTON a deep debt of gra titude for that step." Sir JOHN adding emphati cally that " since he had had the honour of taking a part in public affairs he had never seen a man conduct a difficult state of affairs with more tact, more ability, or more firmness than Lord PALMERSTON had shown on that occasion." It is peculiarly worth while, we believe, calling those unquestionable facts to remembrance. They ought not to be lost sight of. In justice to Lord PAL MERSTON himself they ought to be sedulously kept in recollection. Especially ought they to be held in view by those who have a patriotic regard to the continued efficiency of the public service : all the m ore so because, as Sir JOHN remarked— " Although successful, Lord PALMERSTON succeeded at the cost, as nearly as possible, of breaking up a s party and his Government." The admirable tact displayed by Lord PALMERSTON upon that occasion above all redounded to his honour as the chief of a Coalition, because upon the very occasion, as it were, of thus warding off evils threatened from within by the internal dissensions in the Cabinet itself, the noble lord (as we all are proud now to bear in remembrance) assumed a tone in regard to all the rest of the Powers of Europe worthy of him in his best days when recognised throughout Christendom as the Minister not of France, nor of Austria, nor of Russia, but peculiarly and essen tially as the Minister of England. THE THEATRES. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENIN COVENT-GARDEN. The "Rose of Castille" was produced last night for the first time this season. It drew an excellent house, the performance was very animated, and was received with mush applause. Harrison's impersonation of the princely mule tear is a piece of genuine comedy, and we have never heard him sing better. His " I'm a simple muleteer," was mag nificent. Miss Louisa Pyne has a character very similar to that of Catarina in the "Crown Diamonds," and her performance of it is a similar mixture of graceful playful ness and regal dignity. Last Right she displayed all the charms of her beautiful voice and delightful execution. The pleasant part of Donna Carmen was nicely acted and sung by Miss Thirlwall, whose singing, moreover, was most effective in the concerted music. The favourite laughing trio, "I'm not the Queen, ha I ha I" was as lively and pleasing as ever. The performance, in its ensemble, was as careful and complete as if the 'opera had been produced for the first time. Mr. Edward Loder's romantic opera the " Night Dancers," a work of the highest merit, is about to be produced. It will have all the effect of novelty ; for, when originally brought forward, its per formance was not such as to give the public any idea of its great excellence. DRURY-LANE. A little comedy, called " A Bachelor's Wife," presumed to have been transplanted from New York, where the scene is laid, was produced here last evening —Mr. and Mrs. Charles Matthews performing the principal characters. The author's intention in the conduct of the plot was to mark the contrast whioh may be supposed to exist between the ideal wife of a scapegrace bachelor and the real partici. pator in the conjugal joys and troubles of a veritable Bene dick. The comedy was perfectly successful. Mr. Charles Mathews and Mr. Robert Roxby played with excellent effect the two bachelor friends who have been led into the snares of matrimony; and Miss Arden and Mrs. Charles Mathews represented the two wives with great ability. ST. JAMES'S. Mr. Wigan last night commenced his management of this theatre with the most brilliant success. He has secured the services of a first-rate company; and, judging from the good taste he has hitherto displayed, the long-neglected St. James's Theatre will in a short time become one of the most fashionable places of entertainment in the metropolis. A new two act comedy, by Mr. Tom Taylor, entitled " Up in the Hills," inaugurated the season, and most auspiciously, for from first to last it met with most complete 'and triumphant success. The piece is illustrative of military life in India, the principal part being a certain, handsome, clever, but unprincipled Major Stonehurst, who has laid siege to the hand, or rather the fortune of a charming young widow, one Mrs. Eversleigh, who is residing up in the Hills. In prosecuting his designs he becomes the master, so to speak, of Captain Slack and Lieutenant Greenway, the formor of whom he has secured by lending money, which he cannot return ; and the latter by winning money of him at blind-hookey, which he can not pay. All seems to be going on satisfactorily until Mrs. Colonel M'Cann arrives on a visit to Mrs. Eversleigh, but the character of Stonehurst is known to this lady, and she determines to save her friend from the clutches of such an undesirable partner. Mrs. M'Cann and Major Stonehurst meet; she demands of him an explanation of his plans, which on being revealed she disapproves, and finally she informs him that all her influence will be used to break off the intended marriage. Stonehurst dares her to do her worst, but at the same time he informs her that he possesses certain letters written by Mrs. Eversleigh during the lifetime of her husband, which, in the event of a refusal, he will make public, and thus blast the prospects of the young wid(,w. Mrs. M'Cann receives the intelligence with the utmost coolness ; and, after a little bantering, war to the death is declared between them, each party informing the other that they intend to cut each other's throat as respect ably as the usages of good society will allow. The result of the contest is that the good genius, Mrs. M'Cann, triumphs, and the major makes all the atonement he can, by promising reformation, and marrying his first love, a pretty native ayah, named Monee. The acting of Mr. Wigan, as Stonehurst, was of that earnest and thrilling nature which invariably characterise all his dramatic creations. Mrs. Wigan, as Mrs. Colonel M'Cann, played the part with all the ease, vivacity, and truthfulness for which she is so remarkable. Miss Herbert, Miss Kato Terry, Mr. Emery, Mr. Ashley, and Mr. Dewar, who sustained good but subordinate parts in the play, all acquitted themselves with taste and ability. At the fall of the curtain the applause was enthusiastic, and we most heartily congratulate Mr. Wigan on his good fortune in having secured so excellent a play, which for a long time to come must prove highly attractive. The entertainments concluded with Planche's splendid extravaganza burlesque, " The King of the Peacocks," which has been revived with all its pristine splendour. The house, it is almost needless to observe, was crowded with a most fashionable audience. LYCEUM. The entertainments at this well-appointed theatre were again, last evening, agreeably varied by the production of the charming comedy of the " School for Scandal," which, in point of construction and finish, as well as piquancy of dialogue, deservedly ranks as one of the brightest efforts of the English school of comedy. The part of Lady Teazle was assigned to the talented young actress, Miss Gougen heim, Sir Peter being sustained by Mr. G. Vining, whilst the Charles Surface of the evening was Mr. Neville, Joseph Surface, Mr. Villiers, old Sir Oliver, Mr. Lyon, Crabtree, Mr. Johnson, Sir Benjamin, Mr. Rouse, and Snake, Mr. Butler. Mrs. Candour, in the hands of Mrs. Keeley, was all that could be desired. Mrs. Rouse was the Lady Sneerwell of the evening, and Miss Ternan, Maria. The revival of a comedy such as the " School for Scandal," has to contend with all the disadvantages of pro voking a comparison with the palmy days of the elder Farren, of Charles Kemble, with Jones and Dowton, and with the Chester and Vestris of a by-gone time; but it would be ungenerous were we to deny to the perform ance of last night the attainment of a very high degree of excellence. It was a very even and well-sustained per formance throughout, and exhibited remarkable ability. The Lady Teazle of Miss Gougenheim was deserving of all commendation; and we observed with pleasure that the friendly suggestions which have been made have not been lost upon this intelligent actress. A more subdued tone is observable in this lady's delineation of character without depriving the part of Lady Teazle of any of its necessary vivacity and abandon. Every point was exceedingly well made, and the audience evinced their gratification by con tinual and cordial applause. The Mrs. Candour of Mrs. Keeley was, as we before remarked, all that could be de sired, and divided with the Lady Teazle of Miss Goughen heiro the honours of the evening. Maria, in the hands of Miss M. Ternan, was an exceed ingly graceful and feminine performance, exhibiting a full appreciation of the delicacy of the character itself, and af fording striking evidence of the talent of this promising young lady, who is obviously capable of representing cha racters of greater pretension. Mr. Yining's Sir Peter was a careful study, and in many parts, especially in the celebrated screen scene, irresistibly reminded us of the elder Farren. Mr. Neville's Charles and Mr. Villiers' Joseph were skilfully played and with great spirit, whilst Sir Oliver, in the hands of Mr. Lyon, was a very hearty representation of the generous old uncle. The subordinate parts were well filled, but do not call for any special remark. As a whole, the performance reflected the highest credit upon the corps dramatique of the Lyceum. The dresses were superb. That of Lady Teazle was singu larly rich and elegant. Indeed, the appointments and acoessories were completely in accordance with the prodigal good taste which we always recognise in the management of Madame Celeste. The very brilliant and favourite drama of " The Abbe Vaudreuil" closed theperformance, manifestly to the great delight of a crowded house. The Duchess Dowager of Norfolk has returned to town from visiting' the Duke of Norfolk at Arundel Castle. Lord George and Lady Adeliza Manners have ar rived in town on a visit to her grace. The Earl of Carnarvon has left England for Egypt with the intention of staying some months. We are sorry to learn that the Earl of Aberdeen during several days of the past week was much indisposed, and on Thursday and Friday was extremely ill. The noble earl was considered better on Saturday, and since then has gradually improved in health. The Lord Chancellor will return to Stratheden House, Knightsbridge, to-day, from Wiltahire. The Count and Countess Orloff Davidoff and family have arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, Albemarle street, from Torquay. The Count de Lagrange and the Baron deNieTre have loft the Clarendon Hotel for Paris. Colonel the Hon. Percy and Lady Mary Herbert are expected in town on Wednesday from Powis Castle, Montgomeryshire. Mr. R. Mon okton Milnes, MY., and the Hon.

The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : TURIN, OCT. 30. A despatch from Naples announces that King Victor Emmanuel had arrived at Sessa. It was believed that no engagement would take place in the territory between the Volturno and the Garig liano, as, on the arrival of General Cialdini's corps, the enemy commenced withdrawing towards Gaeta. Garibaldi had gone to the head-quarters of the King. ROME, OCT. 27. General Lamoriciere has been created a Roman noble. A decree orders a medal to be struck in his honour. Mgr. Lacconi, the Papal Nuncio at Paris, has arrived at Rome on leave of absence. Mgr. Berardi has resigned the Secretaryship of State. His brother has been dismissed from his post in the Ministry of the Interior. The Duke de Grammont has addressed a protest to Cardinal Antonelli against the answer published by General Lamoriciere in the official Giornale di .Rom the note in the Illoniteur of the 15th inst., in re ce to the telegraphic despatch sent by the Duke de Grammont to the French Consul at Ancona. PARIS, OCT. 29. The Pattie says :-- Prince Metternich and Baron Hubner were re ceived yesterday by the Emperor. It is asserted that Baron Hubner will leave to-. 1 night for Vienna. BERNE, OCT. 29. The result of the elections for the National Council which took place yesterday is the triumph of the national policy represented by M. Stompflis. The Opposition party of Vaud obtained a majo rity over the Government. MADRID, OCT. 28. Marshal O'Donnell has declared, in to-day's sitting of the Senate, that the Government of Morocco had only asked for a longer delay for the payment of the war indemnity. The Marshal also declared that Rios Rosas is about 'to proceed to Rome on a mission, but that Spain is resolved to observe strict neutrality as regards the affairs of Italy. OCTOBER 30, 18 0. night's official paper, which throws the whole of the funds belonging to lay, pious, and charitable establishments into the hands of laymen ; you will remember that in 1856 and 1857, at the same time that Austria made her unfortunate Concordat with Rome, a series of rescripts were signed by Ferdi nand 11., taking the whole of the vast funds belong ing to the charitable establishments of the kingdom and placing them in the hands of the ecclesiastics. Their power was thus increased in a surprising manner. A decree of the Pro-Dictator, therefore, restores the funds to the administration of laymen, and orders the ecclesiastics to give in their accounts of expenditure in the interval. I approve entirely of this decree ; it is an act of justice, for really the ecclesiastics had no legal right to interfere in the management of lay funds. Another decree, signed by Garibaldi, orders that 12,000 ducats be given to the enlargement of the great Italian college of St. Adriano, in consideration of the great service ren dered to the national cause by the Alvanese. This was the country of Agesilao Milano and his friends. THE SEIGE OF CAPITA. A letter from St. Angelo, near Capua, dated the 25th of October, says : " The Volturno has at last been crossed. It was Medici's brigade that had the honour of first touch ing the right bank, having crossed in boats yester day at 3 a.m. " Medici, once across, took the road to Monte- Gerusalemme, and yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, we could see the national flag floating from the summit of the mountain. The brigade of the Pied montese General Pernon also struck its camp, and marched in the direction of Cajazzo, having formed a junction with the brigade of General Sonnaz, which was at Maddaloni. This morning, at 2 a.m., a brigade having been thrown across the river, the Garibaldian brigades of Generals Eber and Bixio followed Medici into the mountains. Thus the passage of the Volturno has been accomplished without the Neapolitans attempting to defend it. A few shells were fired from the ramparts of Capua, but they fell short and burst on the road between this village and Santa Maria. " It appears that the Neapolitan army has been divided into two corps. The strongest has taken up a position in the entrenched camp at Sessa ; the other has been sent to Bojano to guard the defiles of Piedmont, to oppose the advance of the column of the Piedmontese General Della Rocca. " Although we have not heard the cannon for some days, it is clear that the two armies must soon come into collision—perhaps to-morrow. The struggle will be obstinate, but the issue cannot be doubtful. You will see that the Piedmontese will rout the Neapolitans, and that Garibaldi will giVe the coup do grace to the corps d'armoo under the command of General von Mechel. " The following is General Cialdini's report of the battle at Isernia : • " This morning (date omitted), between 7 and 8 o'clock, my most advanced outpost was attacked on the heights of Macerone by three columns of the enemy, consisting of from 5,000 to 6,000 men, namely-3,000 gendarmes on foot, 1,500 men of the Ist regiment of the line, 1,200 to 1,500 militia (urbains), and two pieces of artillery. " ' General Griffini stood his ground for an hour and a half with only two battalions of Bersaglieri and a section of artillery on the heights of Macerone ; casting a glance on the post-road, he observed the movements of three hostile columns; ono was advancing direct along the road to attack his centre, and the two others were taking the side paths to encircle his position. " ' I advanced on this point with all possible despatch by a long and tortuous road with the Regina brigade, throwing out some battalions right and left, and advancing on the centre ; in less than half an hour we had completely routed the enemy, whose courage was far below that of our men. " A squadron of Novara Lancers, under Capt. Montiglio, led by General Griffini in person, and followed by the 7th Bersaglieri, pursued the fugi tives as far as Isernia. "' We cannot as yet state the number of pri soners we have taken. I can only mention that General Douglas Scott, who commanded those troops, many superior officers and others, and many hundred nsen, are in our hands. " The whole corps of General Griffini, Montig lio's squadron, the 6th and 7th Bersaglieri, and the Ist battalion of the 9th Regiment of Infantry, be haved most admirably ; it is they who did every thing, " ' I send to Sulmona, accompanied by my aide de-camp, Count Borromeo, General Scott,- who willingly consents to it. " ' This evening, when I shall have fuller returns, I will send a detailed report of this singular com bat, attended with so great a result, and in which we only had a few men wounded. " ' The General Commanding the 4th Corps, " CIALDINI.' " MESSINA. MESSINA, OCT. 22. Yesterday the vote was taken for the annexation of this island to Piedmont. Not one single vote was given against it, for the good reason that no one received another ticket, but " Si." Our town was illuminated last night, but it seemed to me there was very little enthusiasm. It is said that the commander of the citadel will set up the Sardinian flag as soon as he is officially informed that Victor Emmanuel has arrived at Naples. He will not give up the forts to the National Guard, nor to Gari baldi's soldiers, but to the troops of Victor Em manuel, for fear that all the works will be de stroyed by the people. The blockade has not been effected, and the town furnishes fresh provisions every day to the Royal troops. An interesting and welcome piece of intelligence will be that Garibaldi has granted permission to the English to build a Protestant church. A re quest was made by some of the resident English to that effect, and a piece of ground was suggestedfor purchase; the Dictator, however, in a most com plimentary manner, acceded to the request, and presented the ground as a gift. Some forms will, I take for granted, have to be gone through in order to the confirmation of it, but the thing has been de creed by the Dictator. OCT. 25.

LORD PALMERSTON'S VISIT TO TILE WEST _RIDING. On Sunday forenoon, the Premier, with Lady Palmerston, the Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., and other guests at Fryston Hall, accompanied by their host, M. Milnes, Esq., M.P., attended divine ser vice at the church of Ferry Fryston. The sacred edifice, which is very small and very plain, stands close to the boundary of the grounds of Fryston, and near Ferry Bridge, from which latter place there is a narrow footway, passing underneath the railway to York, and for a short distance lined with willows. The church is prettily situated, but it has some very damp osier beds close at hand. It was crowded to the porches on Sunday forenoon; and the Pontefract Rifle Volunteers, headed by their band, marched from the Market-place to the church, most of the Volunteers attending service. Yesterday was devoted by his lordship in visit ing the houses, farms, &c. of his tenants at Fair burn, and he was in the evening entertained at dinner by the tenants. Before his lordship left Fryston Hall, however, there was a " meet" of the Badworth fox-hounds in the vicinity of the hall, which the Premier witnessed, although he did not mount. The day was good for the scent, and a couple of foxes were started. One was, however, speedily lost, and could not again be made to break cover; and the second, after being started with difficulty, made a short. run, which he closed by taking a flying leap over the wall of a garden in the neighbourhood of Burton Salmon Station, and as he had on the other side a fall of 12 feet or 15 feet he ended ignominously by breaking his own neck, to the evident disgust of the pack as well as of the huntsman and th field. As the meet was what is called a private one, the field was not very numerous ; but Lord Hawke, Mr. George Leigh, and other well-known foxhunters were of the number. Lord Palmerston left Fryston Hall about noon, accompanied by Mr. Milnes and the Right Hon. W. Cowper, and attended by the Messrs. Arundel, solicitors, of Leeds and Pontefract, his lordship's agents. The party rode to Fairburn, a small vil lage about three miles from Fryston ; and there his lordship entered the houses of, and chatted with, all his tenants. He also rode over the farms. The Fairburn estate comprises nearly 1,400 acres of average land ; but his lordship had not visited it, previous to yesterday, for the last 27 years. The pocket-book which his lordship carried in his hand, hind the frequent jottings-down which he made, rive evidence of intended changes, which it was very clear the tenants did not think would be 'be to their disadvantage. One old dame, who remembered his lordship's visit in 1833, as well as the previous one which he paid to Fairburn, was enthusiastic upon the subject. "He's a good land lord," said she, in rich Yorkshire dialect, "or his agents are good, "which are the same thing. And he was a very handsome man when he came afore—l mean he was younger tl:en, for he is very handsome now, you know, for his age'.," So evidently thought many more of the gentler sewof Fairburn village. One very characteristic story we I.eard of his lordship. _ While passing through the village he stopped before a small, low, stone building, the heavy and rusted padlock and fastenings of which showed that the place was seldom used, and had not been opened for a long time. " What's this ?" said his lords; nip ; and he was answered, " The lock-up." " Tiie lock-up ! Why, it's worthy of Naples. Pray, to whom does it belong ?" "To your lordship." "To me " Yes, my lord." "Ah !" rejoined the Pre mier, " then let it be pulled down, and that quickly, if you please." So the little old dismal prison is doomed, and will soon disappear from the village, to whose inhabitants generally judg ing from their appearance, it has long ceased to be an object of terror, becatse they, needed neither terror nor warning to cause them to avoid that which might lead to an acquaintance with its in terior. Between four and five o'clock the Fairburn tenantry entertained their noble landlord at dinner, in the dining-room of the Ledsham Vicarage, which was kindly offered for the purpose, by the Rev. Mr. Landon, the vicar, the village not con taining a room in which the entertainment could have been given. The party, includingcg and tenantry (Lady Palmerston being amon ests gst u the former) did not, we believe, e xceed N ; and by his lordship's strongly expressed request, the gathering was a strictly private one. THE BRAZIL MAIL. LISBON, OCT. 29. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Oneida, from tho Brazils, has arrived here. She is to leave Lisbon for Southampton at 2 p.m. to-day, with 60 passengers, and specie, £26,603. At Rio Janeiro on the Bth instant exchange on London was quoted 271 ; Paris, 350 to 355. Coffee good; first 5,400 reis to 5,500 reis per arroba; stock, 50,000 bags. TIIE UNITED STA TES. A letter from New York, to a contemporary, dated Oct. 16, says : The visit of the Prince of Wales and his suite to New York has been made since my last letter, and, without trespassing on the province of your able special (who, by the by, has been at the same time receiving his honours from the gentlemen of the New York press, as an acknowledgment of the fidelity and justice of his reports, especially in those matters wherein he has differed with some of the New York journals)—without trespassing on his province, I may say that the Prince has left nothing but the most favourable opinions and the best feel ings behind him. With the exception of Sunday, a part of which was rainy, he had beautiful autumnal weather, so that he was fortunately able to be out of doors most of the time, and to give the thousands of curious spectators an opportunity of seeing his face. But for the breaking down of the Academy floor before the dancing began, and a pardonable freedom from court restraint on the part of some of the venerable gentlemen who had the management of the ball, there would have been nothing to mar the pleasure of the festivities. Yesterday the Prince went up the river to West Point. To-day he goes to Albany, and to-morrow to Boston, where they pro pose to give him a ball, and to sing him a new song by Longfellow. The State elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana last week resulted more favourably for the Republicans than their leaders had hoped for. The majorities are so great as to leave no doubt how the vote of those States will be cast in November. Unless the opponents of Lincoln can contrive to secure the vote of the State of New York against him, they have no chance of preventing his elec tion. They are sensible of this, and are now making great efforts to secure a united opposition vote upon an electoral ticket selected from the three parties respectively supporting Mr. Bell, Mr. Douglas, and Mr. Breckenridge. I have no belief myself that they will succeed in making a union. The three parties differ radically as to the powers of Con gress over the Territories. Mr. Breckenridge and his friends claim that Congress has no power to legislate slavery out of the Territories, but that, on the contrary, slavery exists there under the Con stitution, and Congress is bound to legislate to protect it. Mr. Douglas and his friends claim that Congress has no power to legislate for or against slavery in the Territories, but that the first settlers have the sole power of determining that question. Mr. Bell and his friends, so far as their views are known, claim that Congress has the power to le gislate slavery out of the Territories, but that it is not expedient to exercise that power. You will see that these differences are radical. Unless success is sure, it is not probable, under such circumstances, that the mass of the voters of either party can be brought to sacrifice their principles by supporting the other. Still, the coalition do not despair. Money and exertion, they say, may yet save New York from the Republicans. The _Herald of this morning, for instance, says : - - . - " Within the interval of grace of three weeks to the election, the State of New York may be saved, and Lincoln may be thus defeated; but not a day should be lost in the call for this suggested metropolitan union meeting, as from a committee of public safety." The same journal, however, foreseeing the pro bable failure of the effort, is already preparing the way for a peaceable submission to the election of Mr. Lincoln. In another column of the same issue it is stated that the South— " Feel assured that the Republican party will have little to plume itself upon. First, the popular majority in the nation will be largely against Lincoln ; secondly, the United States Senate will be decisively against him; thirdly, the next House of Representatives will surely contain an anti. Republican majority; fourthly, in no Southern State will Lincoln find men of any repute to accept office under him as collectors, or postmasters, or marshals, or in any of the lowest subordinate capacity. These facts are sufficient to show that the Lincoln Administration would be paralysed at the outset for any evil purposes against the South, and would be dependent on the indulgence of that section for carrying on the Government. The fight against Lincoln therefore, will be carried on nasat effectively within the Union." Thus fade away the threats of disuxion as the chances of the election of a Republican President increase. _ The Court ofAppeals of this State has just an nounced a decision which is a striking illustration of the evils of hasty legislation. The revised statutes of New York contained, among other things, An Act concerning Crimes and Punishments ;" wherein it was provided that certain offences should be punishable with death, and that " the punish ment of death shall in all cases be inflicted by hanging the convict by the neck until he be dead." Last winter the philanthropists made an effort to have capital punishment abolished. They had a Icing hearing before the Assembly Committee, which resulted in a compromise, providing that only treason and murder in the first degree should be hereafter punished with death, and that the sentence should not be carried into execution within a year after conviction, during which time the convict should be kept at hard labour. The repealing clause of the new act was intended to embrace all the clauses of the old act inconsistent with it ; but, by some error, it included the words that I have quoted above. I understand that the Court decide that the new law, having abolished the only statute defining hanging as the mode of punishment, and itself prescribing no new mode, there is now no known sentence which can be pronounced against a person convicted of murder in the first degree. Thus, by the possible mistake of a clerk, or the trick of an agent, the Legislature of th© State of New York have been forced into the temporary abolition of capital punishment. From Costa Rica the North Star brings us news of another of the chronic disturbances of the petty Spanish-American Republics. President Mora, who had been seduced into a revolutionary move ment against Costa Rica by false intelligence, was shut up in a log and mud fort at Puntas Arenas, at the head of 300 men. Here he was attacked by the troops of the Republic, 1,300 strong, and after a useless resistance was captured and shot, together with his generals. By the same steamer we have news from Peru of the disallowance of the American claims against that country, from Bolivia of re newed revolutions, and from Ecuador of the suc cess of Gen. Flores. The whole Spanish-American country, from Brazil to the frontier of the United States, including Mexico, seems to be rapidly re turning to a worse state of barbarism than existed in the days of Columbus, Cortez, and Pizarro. Exchange on London within the past day or two has fallen to 1081 to 1081, with a fiat market. There continues to be a demand for sound invest ments; speculative investments are not quite as firm. The earnings of the leading railway lines continue large. The earnings of the Erie Railroad for September were 600,124 dols., being an increase of 137,326 dols. on the earnings for the same month last year. The receiver of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad has filed his fifth monthly report, show ing gross receipts amounting to 92,238 dols., and current operating expenses 57,591 dols. The market closes with the following quotations :—Tennessee Sixes, 901 ; Virginia Sixes, 901 ; Michigan Sixes, 100 ; North Carolina Sixes, 98 ; Missouri Sixes, 791; Illinois Central Bonds, 971; Erie, Ist Mort gage, 104 ; Erie Thirds, 931; Erie Fourths, 8 7 ; Erie Convertibles of 1871, 70; New York Central, 901 ; Erie, 401; Erie Assented, 40 ; Michigan Central, 681. THE VOLUNTEE.R6'. Twelve short months have converted a batch of Rifle Corps into a numerous and imposing army, efficient in its departments, and truly formidable in its array. The Volunteers were first returned as 70,000 strong, then as 140,000, and now it is probable that the numbers approximate t o 200,000. The movement has gradually extended itself till all classes are embraced in its opera tions, and Peers of the realm stand shoulder to shoulder with tradesmen and artisans before th e butts or on the parade-ground. It has been found b y actual experience th a t a force as large as that now marc hing on Pekin cou ld be assembled i n a single county upon the field in perfect order and brought The very operatio ns of defensiv e warfare have been re h ear sed by our Volunteers. They have been marched down to the seashore ' to oppose imagi nary landings, have throw n up batteries, extem porized fieldworks, and pr o d uce d imitations of the work of war almost as impressive ci as those wit nessed at Aldershot or They have even been brigaded with regular ain trOops, and have sustained the trial without oss of credit. A new army, in short, has been called into existence, which, while it costs the State nothing, kits fur nished at last a secure guarantee for the safety, honour, and `welfare of e our Sovereignand her dominions, CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY, Mon• day, Oct. 2 9.—Admissions on payment, 2,31-1; ditto, IV Rum tickets, 743; total visitors ; ;0571 ltil WICAN BONDHOLDERS. The folic wing from the committee of Mexican Bondho ide rs should have been forwarded on Satur day, but through some neglect of the secretary or his subordinates it did not reach us until to-day. It is no w inserted more with the view of calling the attention of the committee to the laxity of their office arrangements than any other object, and of prevent ing, if necessary, a repetition of the mis take :-- " The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have received a.dvices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, tha 9th, 18th, and 29th ult. ; from their agents in Vera Cruz, of the 15th ult. and Ist inst.; ,and from Tampico, of the 27th ult. Mr. White- Lead had received duty bills for 10,276 67 dole. from Vera Cruz, but at the same time (Sept. 14) notjfication from the collector of customs there, that he had orders from his Government' to dis pose of the 25 per cent. of the foreign debt, and the 16 per cent. of the British convention, owing on cargoes up to the 13th of September. They have excused themselves for this act to the British Mi nister in Mexico by saying they had tried every means to obtain money at any sacrifice, but in vain; and so long as their triumph was doubtful, had refrained from trespassing on their engage ments though suffering extremity, and had only consente tl to do so now that they were sure of suc cess, and therefore should be immediately in a po sition to repay. It is to be hoped that they may, and there is no doubt that th e i r di ffi culties at present am great ; but if Captain Aldham had been on tit,' spot it would not have happened. However, according to the advices from the agents of the bondholders in Vera Cruz, of the Ist inst., on the cargoes arriving after the 13th of September the collector had declared that the 25 per cent. would again be paid to the bondholders as before. Our agents in Tampico had only to advise the re ceipt of duty bills for 1,556 dole. 54c., though the custom house there had again got 114,629 dole. in. arrear to the bondholders. The constitutional forces, reported to be 17,000 strong, lately concen trated in Lagos, under General Ortega and General Degollado, had moved towards Guadalajara, which. was still held by General Castillo, for the Church. Party. It was reported in Mexico, on the 29t1 ult., that the advanced guard which General Cas tillo had thrown out against the Constitutionalists, had passed over to them. General Ortega had, so long ago as the 20th August, 11 days after the de cisive battle of Selas, from his head-quarters in Queretaro, notified to the foreign Ministers in Mexico that he had orders to proceed to the city of Mexico to take forcible possession of it ; but want of funds and the fear of leaving Guadalajara, occupied by 8,000 men under General Castillo, in in his rear, appears to have paralysed his move meats since. The seizure of the eonducta of about 1,200,000 dole. from Guanajuato, Zacatecas, and San. Luis, to Tampico, by the Constitutional General, Degollado, has caused the greatest sensation and. alarm: The moment Senor Juarez learnt what had. happened, he wrote to the British Minister in Mexico expressing the greatest disapprobation and concern, and enclosing open letters, both official. and private, for Degollado, ordering him to return. the funds instantly, without any excuse. With them the British Consul in Mexico, Mr. Gleunie, was, on the 16th ult., despatched to General Dc.. gollado, and found him at Lagos; but a gentleman . who had accompanied Mr. Gl enn i e an d h ad re turned to Mexico on the 29th ult., reports that Degollado had refused to give up any of the money." 711 E NA Vl'. We much regret to have to announce that Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., was yeste , eday, at his residence, Murchistoun-hall, Hants, seized with a sudden and severe attack of illness, which has caused serious anxiety to his friends. Vice-Admiral Sir Arthur Fanshawe, who has resigned i* consequence of ill-health, struck his flag as Port Admiral on board the Impregnable, 104, in Hamoaie, on Saturday night, and his successor, Vice-Admiral Sir Houston Steward, shifted his flag on Sunday from the Cambridge to the Impregnable, and has now assumed full command at Plymouth. Orders have been received at Portsmouth to place the Harrier, 17, screw, in immediate commission. No officer had yesterday been positively named to the command. The Princess Royal, 91, screw, in the first-class steam reserve at Portsmouth, yesterday made her half-yearly trial of machinery, kc., which was satisfactory on over, point. Letters received frem H.M.S. Neptune, lying off Beyrout, mention a gallant act on the part of two seamen belonging to that ship while engaged in one of the boats in watering the ship from the shore. A. boat from one of the French men• of-war was similarly engaged, when, owing to the heavy surf running on the beach, she capsized. Two of the Neptune's boat crew named Farlane and Fry jumped over board and succeeded in bringing one of the Frenchmen on shore, two of the crew being drowned before assistance could reach them. The half-drowned French seaman, on being brought ashore by his preservers, nearly lost his life at the hands of the crowd assembled on the beach, who, in their haste to complete the work of resuscitation, held the man up by his lege to allow the water to run out of his mouth. The naval cadet in charge of the Neptune's boat, Mr. C. B. Anson, was fortunately observing the proceedings, and, recollecting the instructions contained in Ners's Cadets' Guide, applicable to such circumstances, and which he had learnt as a cadet on board the Britannia, he took the man out of the hands of the crowd, and gave proper directions for his treatment, which resulted in his recovery. The Dee, paddle, Master-Commander Pullen, has gone into Portsmouth Harbour from Spithead, to discharge boilers and machinery. The gunboat Hinds, tender to the Russell, 60, from Fal mouth, arrived on Saturday at Plymouth with Naval Coast Volunteers. At a meeting of officers and men connected with the arsenal at Devonport, held on Saturday evening in the sale-room of that establishment, Admiral-Superintendent Sir Thomas S. Pasley in the chair, about 100 men enrolled themselves members of a Dockyard - Volunteer Artillery Corps. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty:—Lieut. John H. Vidal, to the Scourge; Lieut. E. T. Nott, to the Himalaya; Henry C. Sedmond, master, to the Harrier ; Vernon Jones, second master, additional, to the Gorgon; Frederick K. Taylor, master's assistant, to the Gorgon ; Samuel 111‘Callunt, second-class assistant en gineer, to the Asia, for charge of the Beaver; Samuel E. Derrick, second•class engineer, to the Cumberland, for charge of the Griper; Henry Bunting, acting third-class assistant-engineer, to the Indus, as supernumerary ; Thos. G. Sanders, acting third-class assistant-engineer, to the Asia, for service in the Shannon ; James Woolton, acting third-class assistant-engineer, to the Asia, for service ill the Immortalite. THE ARMY. The Council of Military Education, composed of Major- General Rumley, Vice-President, Major-General Portlock, Col. Elwyn, and Lieut.-Col. Addison, commenced the exa mination of candidates for direct commissions yesterday morning, at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. There were above 140 candidates on the occasion, The examination will extend over the week, terminating on Saturday next. Yesterday, as usual on the first day, was confined to the medical examination. The following troops arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the Cape of Good Hope, and await orders from the Horse Guards as to their destination :—Three sergeants, four corporals, 58 privates, seven women, and six children, under the military command of Captain Bayley, R.N., and izt medical charge of Staff Assistant-Surgeon Speedy. They comprised men from the Royal Artillery and Engineers, 2d, 6th, 12th, 43d, 45th, 46th, 53d, and 59th Infantry; the Cape Mounted Rifles ; Army Hospital Corps ; Medical Staff, and St. Helena Regiment. A portion are invalids, the remainder are men unfit for active service in the field; men whose time has expired, and others who have claimed their discharge. Major Gen. C. C. Hay, Inspector-Gen. of Musketry, accompanied by Capt. John M'Kay, Deputy-Assist..-Adjt. Gen., visited Pembroke dock on Friday last, for the annual inspection as to progress in musketry made by the officers and men of the Bth depot battalion, and was, we under stand, highly pleased with them. The gunshods at Pembroke dock, for the reception of two 18-pounder field batteries have now been completed, and the guns housed in them. They are built inside the hut cantonment, which is rather inconvenient for the Artillery who have charge of the guns, it being at such a distance from their barracks. Capt. H. W. H. Dumaresq, R.E., has joined the Royal Engineer establishment, BrompLon-barracks , Chatham, and received over the command of the 4th Company of Royal Engineers, recently arrived from India, from Lieut. G. S. Berkeley, who proceeds to Dublin, to be attached to the Royal Engineer staff at that station. The 27th Company of Royal E n gineers, under the corn• mand of Capt, Durnford, will, it is expected, shortly pro ceed to Gibraltar. Its strength has been raised to 120 non commissioned officers and men. The Royal Pembroke Artillery, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Owen, were inspected on the Portfield, Haverfordwest, on Saturday last, by Col. Lord Frederick Paulet, C.B„ Inspector of disembodied militia.
