Austria and Russia alone, by uniting their armies —(each furnishing 500,000 men as his contingent) —would be able to send into the field a total of 1,000,000. There is Prussia, again, in reserve with her force of from 250,000 to 300,000 soldiers. Meanwhile the Sardinian army—that advanced guard of the armed Italian population—would find a difficulty as yet in bringing together a disciplined and efficient force exceeding 100,000 veteran troops. GARIBALDI, we all know—it is by this time matter 000 men of history—could disembark scarcely 2, ( a dventurers, brigands , condottieri, buccaneers, their enemies called them, as the foes of BOLIVAR doubtless called his soldiers also), GARIBALDI could disembark scarcely L 2,000 men up on the coast of Sicily. YL`t with that lit tle band h of e iscom the number 20,000, fited the royal troops to took Palermo, took. Messina, conquered Sicily , the straits, advanced upon and then crossing' the capita] of the kingdom, attended only by his Staff, and (so atteLded) made bis triumphal entry one fine day into Naples—a bloodless Conqueror! And what was done only this last month by the DictatorGARIBALDI has now t'een done this last week by King VICTOR EMMANUEL, Ita_ly's new Sovereign. GARIBALDI with hardly 2,000 naC.l3) VICTOR EM MANUEL with barely 100,000 soldiers, have done, have actually accomplished all these' turvels' ---- while the three rulers who met the other day at Warsaw to concert together what they, in their turn, could possibly do by way of counterpoise in the re-adjustment of the Balance of Pow - ex in Europe, have consulted, and then parted--have effected nothing, have attempted nothing, have pro jected nothing—have found themselves povcrless with all their boasted authority, with all their enormous forces, consisting, as we have remarke.ip in the aggregate of considerably over one million of highly disciplined and veteran soldiers. The significance of this contrast is surely then, upon tha very face of it, sufficiently appa rent. The ex-Dictator GARIBALDI and the de facto King of the Italians have with them, in support of them, in aid of their designs the Public Opinion of Italy, the Will of the vast majority of the Italian population. The CzAR, the KAISAR, and the PRINCE REGENT, on the contrary, are in direct an tagonism to All Public Opinion throughout Europe —they are in distinct opposition to the will, the wishes, the aspirations of the whole continental population. What has indubitably come greatly in aid of the armed leaders of the Italian movement has been first of all the active sympathy the avowed co-operation of the French Empire, to begin with, and throughout, from first to last, the moral support and the unmistakably expressed encouragement of the English people and their Constitutional Governments. Non-intervention is wisely, and most happily for GARIBALDI and his KING, the watchword of the policy of the sur rounding nations, nowadays, now that the hitherto problematic Italian Question is working itself out to the simplest of all elucidation. Non-interven tion, we repeat, is now, happily for the cause GARI BALDI has at heart, the watchword of the policy of surrounding nations ! Happily for him and his, however, non-intervention was not the policy of Imperial France at least, at the commence ment ! That, at any rate, must be allowed — while lamenting still that France should after that bold heroic act have sullied her glorious flag, and blotted her fair escutcheon by condescend ing to be paid (in the shape of Nice and Savoy) for having effected the liberation of Lombardy. Bearing that paltry after-proceeding still in scorn ful recollection, it is impossible at the same time not to recognise the fact that from the period when the champions of the political inde pendence of Italy gained that 'vantage ground of Lombardy, the rising of the Italian population commenced in earnest. The Wheel of Fortune has since then, for GARIBALDI and VICTOR EMMANUEL, rolled uninterruptedly down one long inclined-plane, from victory to victory, or rather from success to success, until the acclamations which welcomed, the "King of ITALY," not so many months back, in the streets of Milan, from the throats of the Lombards, have been echoed back now in his southern capital, from the throats of the Neapo- H.,OYAL EN%NGLISII OPERA, COVENT GARD-nnder the Mang,r em ent of Miss LOUISA VlNFand Mr. • W.

A catalogue—that can hardly be glanced down without emotions of profound interest—will be found elsewhere in our impression for this evening. It is a carefully prepared list of the Lifeboat Stations upon the coasts of the three kingdoms, along the now wintry sea-washed shores of England and Wales, of Scotland and of Ireland. The accuracy of the list may be relied on, for it is taken from the official recorJ of that noble and humane association, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Goodly as the catalogue is, even now in its pres.nt condi tion—dotting the whole sweep of our island-coasts as it does with a sequence of lifeboat establishments admirably placed at every point where they are now actually secured—it is, nevertheless, rendered year after year—painfully indubitable that they are as yet wholly inadequate to the purposes they were intended to serve, the purposes which they actually do serve, but which as yet they serve only partially. It is well to recall this fact to mind at the recurrence of the present season of the year, in these tempestuous months which are now opening again upon us, and which are certain to strew our coasts more or less with the wrecks of ships 'that our lifeboats, as they are now distributed, will be unable to save from destruction, with the dead bodies of those whom our gallant lifeboats' men will be wholly unable to snatch from a watery grave. Deplorable though these facts are in themselves, a knowledge of them is the readiest incentive to further exertion on the part of all those philan thropically disposed to aid in the development of the noble association already particularised. The development of the Royal National Lifeboat Insti tution is in truth one of the most generous labours now appealing at all times to the public for its hearty support and encouragement—appealing to it at all times most persuasively, but never so per suasively as at this season, when we are fast approaching the winter solstice, and when the heroic crews of the lifeboats will be called daily, hourly, nightly, into more and more perillous enterprises. N these appealstohtahng u b nia repetition nw ionfr r o e m psu t e i r me a t sv to time in cf those eloquent statistics which show in a few facts and figures, that spe a k t rumpet-tongue d for themselves, what it is that has already been accomplished by the R oyal National Lifeboat Institution. Foremost among these recorded facts stands forth, of course, th a t very s i m ple one the force of which all m ust appreciate upon the instant—the fact that, since the date of the original establishment of this truly beneficent institution, its boats have been instru- •••••••.............

Keeping steadily in view the selec tion of those particular points at which the Wreck Chart proves that these Lifeboats are really the ' most urgently required. we may hope that the period will eventually arrive wheii an interval of but a very few miles indeed will separate any two lifeboats in the noble chain of stations now being gradually formed round the storm-beaten coasts of the United Kingdom. Until this happy result, however, shall literally have been arrived at, we ought surely, in reason as well as in duty, never to relax our efforts to secure its attainment. ARRIVAL OF PRINCE ALFRED.

" Thank you !" was the King of ITALY'S reply to the ex- Dictator. It may even have been emphasised— though the reporter of this historic interview says nothing whatever about his MAJESTY'S accentna tion—it, may even have been emphasised, as it certainly ought to have been emphasised, " Thank you . !!' Remembering, that is, all that GARIBALDI has accomplished (as tine may say single-handed, and by the mere terror of his name), is the aequisition, one after another, of the Two Sicilies. However the words may have been pronounced by the two great interlocntors, there they are at any rate upon record—,there these words are in all their superb simplicity—the greeting of GARIBALDI—the reply of the new Italian Sovereign. The contrast presented to view upon a compari soft of this interview between the ex-Dictator and the Re Galantuomo of now very nearly 24,000,000 Italians,, and, that other interview which took place only a week or two since at Warsaw between the Russian CZAR, the Aus trian KAISER, and the Prussian PRINCE I %*E GENT —the contrast presented to view upon a etY P?parison of these two interviews must certainly be 'allowed to be sufficiently extraordinary. Here on one aide are seated, in solemn conclave, the men of the paste r the representatives at least they may be termed , of the already nearly obsolete system of old 'world thseantism. Here, on the other hand, are seated, not and solentn conclave but in the face of d ay - ' the free air and light of heaven, ' in their saddles; bestriding their war horses, each with his good ay,,,, a leap from its scabbard at a , alon g b y hi s thi g h re ady to moment's warning, the chiefs of the present hour, the very architypes and embodiments and representatives of the collected energy' and activity of the existing generation. But yesterday the King of ITALY was merely King of SSARDINIA. But yesterd ay GARIBALDI spade and hoe in hand alternatel y_was tending Now--side by side, hand his turnips. grasped i n hand—they are riding together in front of the serried ranks of an army that has passed vic toriously from one extremity of the Italian Penin sula very nearly to the other, not through a series of sanguinary battlefields, but through a succession of popular ovations, proceeding onward from town to town, from province to province, through a tumult of acclamations. Those even who least sympathise with this astonishing movement on the part of the Italian leaders and the Italian popula tion—must acknowledge this much. They must admit the accuracy of what we have here stated— preeieely as they must allow the King himself to be a man of dauntless courage, and the Dictator to be a hero of almost matchless audacity. The significance of the contrast to which we are directi n attention—the contrast that is visible after comparing the t - svo memorable meet ings but just n„w particularised—is not only THE SUN, LONDO LORD DUNDONALD. (From a Correspondent of the Daily News.) The great man whose death it has recently been our painful duty to record was, of all men, the sE dlor's best friend, and it was to him that they were indebted for many of the advantages enjoyed by them at the present moment. He strenuously com plained, in is seat in the House of Commons, when representing the electors of Westminster, of the hardships of unlimited service in the navy—of the cruelty of harbour duty—of the uncertain system of rewards—of the exactions for discharge, even from wounded, disabled, and pensioned seamen—of withholding from the seamen their pay until their return home, and their consequent privations abroad and of keeping ships abroad until their crews had perished. He canplained of the custom of imposing w:hich was a constant source upon the seamen tbe performance of unnecessary and vexatious labour, of discontent, and the causo of more flagellation than the violation of all the articles of war. He com plained of the total absence of necessary cemforts in naval hospitals such as were allowed in the army ; of the refusal to admit into those hospitals certain diseases which, during the winter season, could not be cured at sea; of the inadequate supply of medicines to the ships of war. He reprobated the system of retaining invalids for harbour duty, of which the hardships were greater than those of active service ; and of permitting them, and even compelling them, by means of those hard ships, to re-enter the navy when their physical powers and constitution were wholly decayed, and he was ever unremitting, while in public life, in exposing innumerable other abuses in cnnnexion with the service, and in improving the condition of I the sailor. He might well be called the sailor's friend. FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF DUNDONALD. —The funeral of the late Eirl of Dundonald will take place in Westminster Abbey on Wednesday next, the 14th inst. at half past 12. Tickets of admission to the Abbey will be issued on applica tion, by letter only, to Richard Bentley, Esq., New Burlington-street, and to X., 2, Eldon-road, Kensington. Naval officers and gentlemen wishing to attend the remains of the noble earl to the grave will apply to the latter address. No person can be admitted to the Abbey unless in mourning. TILE CZAR IN WARSA Tr. The following is a letter addressed to the Posen Gazette, on the late interview at Warsaw. Though the letter bears an old date, yet the opinion of the Posen Gazette has great value, in so far as it repre sents faithfully the feelings of the Poles : WARSAW, OCT. Warsaw receives its august guests, German and Russian, with much reserve ; which, for a people whose curiosity is proverbial, is, to say the least of it, extraordinary. It looks as if all the inhabi tants, old and young, impassive and enthusiastic, women and children, had all this time before their eyes the image of their murdered fatherland, and in truth the presence and the meetings of the three sove reigns whose ancestors insiduously consummated the fall of Poland were well calculated to revive pain ful recollections. All the Polish families have de layed their return to the capital for the winter season; and with the exception of a few families connected with Russia by ties of interest, scarcely a Polish noble was to be seen. At Prince Gortschokoff's ball, the society was com posed solely of Russians, Germans, and here and there an ex-Pole who has sold himself, body and soul. In the streets and near the station there were a good many Jews and people of the lower orders, whose enthusiasm was excited by the police ; but in this mob not a single decent person was visible. There was a great crowd at the laying of the first stone of the bridge of Praza, but it was a silent one. This was construed by the prefect of police or the Governor• General into immense enthusiasm, and the news that the sovereigns hid a most enthusi astic reception was immediately telegraphed to all tho European papers. I should add that private persons are not allowed to use the telegraph for the transmission of political news, and even the most private correspondence passes under the eye of a special censorship. At the theatre, on the occasion of the first repre sentation honoured by the presence of the august guests, the young men of the town hired before hand every place they could get, and not one came, so that the whole theatre was empty, and the sovereigns had the p'-ay to themselves. It is said that the German princes malici ously asked the Czar the reason of this, that a severe inquiry has been begun, and that those who are found guilty will probably go to Siberia to pray that Providence may favour the Germans. The police has ordered, as usual, with most serious threats, an illumination in the town. The mini mum required was two candles for every window, but the mob broke every window where this minimum was exceeded. Every night satirical proclamations are posted on the walls in the street corners, and the police tear them down every morning. The triumphal arch erected near the station was burnt, it is sup posed, by the people, who also threw vitriol on the dresses of the few ladies who went to the theatre when the sovereigns were there. ft We have heard, what we can scarcely believe, that an historian of long note, taking an interest in one of the candidates at a recent military examination, has been indiscreet enough to address a letter to each of the exa miners, calling their attention to the claims for considera tion which that candidate might be supposed to derive from the social position and wealth of his family. We are snr • prised, putting aside all other considerations as completely as this eminent historian appears to have done, that he should not have been aware that, as the candidates are only known by number and not by name to the examiners, his good offices thus exerted must necessarily prove fruitless.— Times. We have reason to believe that there is no foun dation for the report that the Commander-in-Chief or the Secretary of War are promoting the plan of M. nowsell for engaging the London Volunteers in an excursion to Paris.— Tines. The Prince of Wales completes his 19th year this day.

Among the numerous guests pre sent were Lord Cowley and Mr. Cobden, the Mi nisters of Foreign Affairs and Algeria, the Presi dent and Vice-President of the Council of State, &c.

A letter from Berlin, dated 6th November, in the Indepenelance Belge, says— " The political world here is occupied with an in cident of the Warsaw meeting, the signification of which cannot be overlooked. It will be remem bered that the Emperor Alexander, before the Con ference met, had addressed to the Emperor Napo leon a letter destined to re-assure him on the character of the interview and on its eventual re sults. That letter was a reply to another letter which the Emperor Alexander had previously re ceived from the Emperor of the French. " The Emperor Napoleon, it seems, wrote a second letter to the Emperor Alexander while the Confer ence was taking place at Warsaw. He first thanks the Emperor for the pacific assurances he has given him. Then, turning to the affairs of Italy, he is said to have expressed his regret at recent events, which it was not in his power to prevent. "As regards the eventualities of the future, it would result from the Imperial letter that, if Sar dinia were attacked, France would hold herself bound to defend her; but if, on the contrary, Sar dinia should attack Austria, France would abstain from taking part in the struggle, on the condition, however, that Austria should declare that, what ever might be the issue of the war, the Villafranca preliminaries should be respected." THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very poor show of English wheat was here to •day, both as to quantity and quality. Owing to the continued large influx from abroad, millers operated with extreme caution; nevertheless, compared with Monday, no change took place in prices. The imports from abroad are over 56,000 quarters. How ever, good and fine qualities were in fair request, on former terms ; but damp parcels were rather lower to purchase. Floating cargoes were held on former terms, but the de mand for them was by no means active. The barley trade was in a healthy state, and prices were well supported. No chaage took place in the value of malt. Both old and new were in fair demand. The supply of foreign oats being rather large, the oat trade ruled inactive, and inferior parcels were rather cheaper. _ Beans and peas wore very firm in price ; but the demand for flour was much restricted, at barely last rates.

TEA.—There has been a very limited inquiry, and prices have remained without alteration. SUGAR. —A. fair deinand has been experienced for refining qualities, but business has in some measure been checked bye the high rates demanded by holders. British West India of good quality realised high rates. In the refined market late quotations are fully maintained. COFFEE.—There has been a steady demand for planta tion Ceylon, and at public sale late prices were sustained for the better qualities. RICE,—An extensive business has been done in East India, at fully late quotations ; the finer qualities of Caro lina showing an upward tendency. FRUIT.—The market has continued firm, and the finer qualities of currants have advanced in value. Valentia raisens, at public sale, went at enhanced prices, owing to the shortness of stocks on hand. SALTPETRE.—The market has been very quiet, and quotations are unaltered. _ _ _ TA.LLOW.—Rather less buoyancy has been apparent, and prices show a downward movement. P.Y.C. on the spot, 60s 6d to 60s 9d; and apringdelivery, 608 to 60s 6d per cwt The 9th of November—the red letter day in eivic annals—opened gloomily in the wealthiest city in the world, and doubts began to arise whether his Lordship (Alderman Cubitt) would not have to " take water" whether he pleased or not; but towards eleven o'clock the clouds began to disperse, and shortly after the sun shone resplendently. To no per son was the circumstance a more happy event than to his Lordship's six gentlemen who were to sport the splendid liveries of Vandyke brown elaborately ornamented with gold lace, and the valient knights who sighed at the thought of rain descending on their ancient coats of mail after the extraordinary trouble they had taken to furbish them up for the occasion. Long before the city began to wear its accustomed bustle, :the activity of the carpenter's hammer was sending forth its noisy note of prepa ration throughout the line of procession, securing many a doubtful structure which stood bodily in fear of the delicate attentions of the surveyor. The Mansion House—the civic palace of his Lordship —was, of course, the scene of much commotion and excitement. Every now and then a footman rushed forth in frantic excitement to deliver a message to some one or other of those who were to take part in the all-important procession. The night Hon. William Cubitt was installed as Lord Mayor of London in the Mansion House at an early hour, and his first pleasing duty was to enter tain his friends and officers of his household at a sumptuous breakfast. The celebrated state coach, drawn by six high-spirited steeds, and caparisoned in massive crimson trappings, was then ordered to the door, and his Lordship, attired in his robes of office, decorated with his gold chain, attended by his Chaplain and S word and Mace Bearers, entered the venerable vehicle and drove off, followed by the Sheriffs, to Guildhall, where his lordship and his Mends partook of luncheon. After the inner man had been well fortified, his lordship announced it to be his will and pleasure that the procession should be arranged in the order it was to move. The City Marshal set about his duty with alacrity, but he seemed somewhat dispirited, as the clouds, which had dispersed in the early part of the day, began again to assume a somewhat threatening aspect.

On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall, his lordship at one proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. The civic party took a standing position in front of the bench reserved for Queen's Counsel. The Recorder, in addressing the Court,saidf—MY Lord Chief Baron, I have the honour to introduce to your lordship and this Court , th e Right Hon. William Cubitt, elected by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The gracious approval of her Majesty has ratified the choice of the citizens. The learned gentleman then proceeded to give a short history of the career of the new Lord Mayor. He remarked that Mr. Alderman C ubitt for many years had carried on a large bußiness, all his dealings WA been characterised by honour and in tegri ty, and he was happy, to add hsd been crowned by suc cess. Mr. Cubitt was born at Buxton, near Coltishall, Norfolk, and in early life served about four years in the royal navy. In 1810, being then 19 years of age, he turned his attention to com mercial matters and entered the building trade. which he had carried on up to within the last few years, and in which he had realised an ample for- tune in connection' with his brGthers. The house of Cubitt was now one of the most eminent in the country. After 40 years of successful application to business Mr. Cubitt in 1851 retired, and devoted his time and attention to the service of the public in other ways. In 1847, while still in business, he was elected by his fellow-citizens to the shrievalty in conjunction with Mr. Charles Hill, and at about the same period the electors of Andover returned him as their representative in the Commons House of Parliament—an honour which he enjoyed at the present time. He added that Alderman Cubitt was held in the highest possible esteem by his fol low-citizens. The Lord Chief Baron said—My Lord Mayor, I beg to congratulate you on having attained that honour, which the learned Recorder has expatiated on in his address to the Court. You appear here as the first magistrate of the greatest city in the empire. You appear here to claim certain rights which belong to the great city of which you are the Chief Magistrate, and the ceremony which takes place on this occasion is not to be considered as a mere idle pageant, for, in reality, it is to re tain on your part those privileges which have existed froth time immemorial. I rejoice to hear the account the Recorder has given of your life and success, and doubt not that during your mayoralty you will continue to deserve the good opinion of your fellow citizens. To you, the late Lord Mayor, I beg to offer my congratulations, and you retire, having undoubtedly will discharged your important duties, into comparative private life. You have, during your year of office, displayed everything that could belong to a private citizen and upright magistrate. I feel assured that, in retiring into comparative privacy, the discharge of those public duties that remain to you will occupy the whole of your at tention, and you will continue to deserve the approbation, and to meet with that sympathy, in the discharge of them, which you have hitherto experienced. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor bowed his acknowledgments. The Lord Mayor was then sworn in. The late Lord Mayor was also sworn to render under her Majesty a full account of the receiptlon account of the Crown during his mayoralty, and to behave himself properly, according to the old style of oath, whilst he did so. The other formalities-having been gone through, the Lord Mayor, :the late Lord Mayor, the Tim corder, and the officers of the City withdrew, and, passing through the other courts, his Lord ship, through the Recorder, invited the Judges to the banquet. The procession then returned to the City in the same order in which it arrived at 'Westminster. 711 R BISHOP OF OXFORD ON CHURCB RATES. On Wednesday, the Bishop of Oxford met his clergy at Woodstock, and delivered to them his triennial charge. On the subject of Church rates, he said that in one respect a great change had passed over the question since he last addressed them. Then the plea for abolition was that the Dissenters from the Established Church ought to be set free from an impoit which unrighteously vexed their consciences. The plea was one which it was very difficult to maintain against argument, but it was one which appealed to English gene rosity, and was certain to be readily admitted. But this plea had now been abandoned, and in its place was put' the open allegation that the existence of an Established Church was injurious to the realm, and that Church rates must be attacked because , they formed the first and most assailable outpost of the Established Church. The effect upon Parliament and the country in dis posing of this altered plea might be seen in the altered numbers in the recent division. Indeed, the change had been so great as to justify him in asserting that the country had not yet fairly spoken concerning the maintenance of the principle in volved in a church rate. Under such circumstances they (the clergy) believed that the question con cerned pre-eminently the lay members of the Church, and upon the whole the best way in which the great principle of an Established Church could be maintained was that which was involved in the present system of church rates. They should be well contented to do nothing more than express their desire that Parliament and the country might not abandon this declaration of the national faith, and wait patientlywithout themselves proposing any scheme for alteration or any declaration of their mind upon the matter, lest they should seek to precipitate, by a doubtful solution, the settlement of so great a question. He would now call the attention of his clergy to a most momen tous question—the threatened alteration in the law of marriage. The moral effects upon the nation of an alteration in the law of divorce had justified and threatened to justify more absolutely the warnings of those who opposed the change. But more serious dangers to our domestic purity would be caused by an alteration of the law which would sanction unions which' the Church of England had always declared to be contrery to the law of God and incestuous, and in which declaration she had followed the decisions of the whole Ca tholic Church from the beginning. Having re viewed the arguments on the subject, his Lordship said that shoud the State acknowledge the mar riage 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. The threatened revision of the Book of Common Prayer had been resisted not only by himself, but by every one of his right rev. brethren who had in his place in Parliament spoken on the subject. It was urged that the general tendency of all human productions in the course of time was to require revision and correction, and this was strengthened by the decla ration of many sound churchmen that the Liturgy might be amended, and certain specific amend ments had been pointed out. But then arose a new set of conditions—the fit time for the alteration, the fit bands for making the alteration, the model after` which the change should be fashioned, the amount of good that would be effected as set against the evil that might be caused. All these points must be settled before any step could be taken in the way of alteration. Behind the modern re visionists who desired to render matters less obscure, and to provide briefer offices, were men who had other objects and far different claims—and who would effect such a cleansieq of the book of Common Prayer as would cleanse out from o their the ministry of the church al l -.ho differed th e ir own views of the ti tali. The success of any su ch attempt on the Prayer Book would unques tionably u lead to a disruption w hich would t borest resispt our national church. It was their innocent alterations , becaus e the change would far outweigh any small duty innocent advantages rdisks ding y atten were signs of that might accrue from it. There were t h s e , a b r e d c because se declarethey sm p i e n c u i r al d d iff a e n r g e e u r ee s sl u , ffi a c u i d en u t una to b a in n e du t c : g t e h th em e r in ddreofepuaelel w a a s l itehde itself u e t l y f of the faith delivered to thevcseari lived in a time when persons scrip misconception, t a ure that the miracles narrated in were parts of that beliefin the atonement h on ich h t ad criticism to unveil criaand dia. of remorseless a system of naturalism cover, that the to the affections to produce a belief in t h em , and t h a t they might be simply brought down to a rational naturalism by such express ions as this, which the right rev.

Whilst they disputed about the lesser matters of the law, they might be robbed unawares of the true foundation . of their faith. MARRIMIE OF SIR JOHN BOWRlNG.—Yesterday morning Sir John Bowring was married, at the Unitarian Chapel, Bristol, to Miss Deborah Castle, daughter of the late Mr. Michael Hinton Castle, of that city. The cere mony was performed by the Rev. B. Apsland, of Hackney, assisted by the Rev. W. James, of Bristol. The chapel was crowded, ou t t Q ocCAVit The sanitary Condition and Lisa / di ne o f I n di an Jails. By Joseph Ewart, M.D. Smith and Eider. Part of the following observations on the condi 'ion of the Jails of India, have appeared in the ndian Lancet, but Dr. E wart has revised and -xtended his former productions before prtsenting them to the public in their present comprehensive form. He has devoted considerable attention to the •,übject of sanitary reform, and in the work before us he endeavours to point out that the excessive mor tality in the prisons in India arises from many obvious causes. He shows statistically that those convicts who are condemned to hard labour on the roads and public works, are in too many cases in reality sentenced to a lingering capital punish ment; and that, under certain officers, the deaths are fearfully above the average, heavy though that be—in evidence of which he records that —4 , In one gang employed under Capt. Thomson, in the Ramghur division of the Trunk Road, the number of convicts who died whilst actually belonging to the gang averaged for ten months at the rate of 34 4 of deaths per cent, per annum, and in one month the deaths in that gang were 10 per cent." We doubt if such a frightful mortality has been exceeded in New South Wales,, where in the good old times the lives of convict& were held at nought. But we are happy to say that great improvements are taking place, and that although much remains, to be done, the wan ton sacrifice of human.life at our penal establish ments is on the wane. The following is an account by Dr. Hutchinson of road labour as carried on in India :-- Ld7ER.I TUBE THE CONVICT. He is taken out of the jail at sunrise or before it; he labours uninterruptedly all day, with, the exception of an hour, perhaps, at noon (for I am not sure that this in dulgence is in every case allowed), when he generally satis fies the cravings of hunger with a lit tle parched grain (a species of pulse), or rice, or perhaps ~ vith these grains in a perfectly raw state. He then continues to labour on, till 4 o'clock p.m., when he commences his return to jail; but this may be at some distance, so that, by the time ha reaches it, and the whole of the prisoners are counted over, it is often near sunset. They have then their sole meal to , prepare and eat, before they are locked up for the night. All this, it is to be recollected, is exacted from a class who are frequently the roost prone to disease, from their pre vious habits of dissipation, who are suffering much mental anxiety and distress, who are scantily fed, who enjoy no reward for their labour, and who, in addition to everything else, are working heavily ironed. Many of these persons too, be it remembered, are considerably advanced in years ; and to a still greater number, the mode of labour to which they are forced, is totally new and unaccustomed. . . In the rains, they are generally, if not always, taken out, unless it actually happens to rain at the time they would otherwise be leaving the jail ; they frequently como home drenched with rain ; and few of them, I should suppose, are very well prepared with a change of apparel. Taking all these things into account, together with a review of the work performed by the peasantry of the country, this phi lanthropist concluded that the out-door labourers were overworked, and many of them were destroyed in con sequence. Dr. Ewart's work conti.ins hints on the general defective sanitary arrangements of the prisons, and very properly maintains that "the sanitary powers of medical officers in charge of every jail ought to be augmented, and that the medical officer should be as supreme in all matters connected with PREVENTION as he is now in respect to CURATIVE MEDICINE. The author's ideas seem correct enough, in most cases ; but his desire to reform completely the prisons, and to abolish existing abuses in one or two instances, leads him to false conclusions. For example, he declares tobacco to be poison, and such being the case, that the consumption of the smallest quantity is deleterious: Now, although it may be advisable to withhold the indulgence of tobacco from prisoners, Dr. Ewart had far better have rested his argument on the maintenance of prison discipline, than the false premise, that because ex cess causes death, moderation necessarily pernicious Were this conclusion correct, all medicines and most articles of food would endanger existence. The author has appended some views of his own on the discipline, arrangement, and construction of prisons. He has devoted much consideration to the subject; and, on the whole, his remarks are well worthy of attention. Now that the Govern ment of the East has been removed from the hands of a jobbing company, it is the duty of the Govern ment to pay every attention to the suggestions of those whose long experience has rendered their opinions valuable. DR. CUMMIV OA THE FUTURE OF ENGLAND IN PROPHECY. On Tuesday evening the Rev. Dr. Cumming delivered a lecture on "The Future of England in the Prophetic Re cord," in the large hall of the Collegiate Institute, Liver pool. Dr. CUMMING, after reading and discussing the remark.' able passages in the 18th chapter of Isaiah, on which he bases his opinions, said he had never pretended to say that the world would come to an end in 1867, but he did think that that year was the great bisecting period in which all the great chronological epochs culminated. He did not be lieve that the world would be destroyed. On the contrary, his belief was that in the time to come this earth will be one of the loveliest outposts of Heaven.. He believed that whatever sin had introduced into the world would be handed over to the devil, who should have all the credit of it, and that the earth would be restored to a Paradise more magnificent than that in which it began. Who could be satisfied with the abnormal state of things that at present existed? Who could be satisfied with the brcken circles that are constantly be ing repeated? Was there no flock in which there was not one dead lamb—no home in which there was not one vacant chair ? And who could be satisfied with that ? Would they not rather rejoice when the hour arrives when all things will be made new, when that glorious age comes to whose purification all past ages shall contribute, and in whose glory all past centuries shall culminate ? In an able and learned exposition, the doctor then showed the manner in which, by giving, as he alleged, the true translations to several important passages in Isaiah, he established the connection between the destiny of the Jewish and the Eng lish nations, and the important part which the latter would play in restoring the former to their ancient home. He held that the prophecy was clear that the "ocean steamers" and locomotives of England would be used in the return of the Jaws to Palestine. In the course of a rapid but com prehensive sketch of the position of the Jews all over the world, the lecturer alluded to the condition of the inhabi tants of the Jewish quarter in Rome, which he character ised as the most miserable and unhappy that could be con ceived. Whilst dwelling upon his interpretation of the text, in whiel he contended that England is specially referred to as the untry " sending ambassadors over the sea," he said England was represented at every Court but one, and at that one he thanked God she was not. (Cheers.) " The poor old priest" had called on all people to help him, and he had got some from Ireland, but the Irish legion had returned home ashamed of themselves. (Great laughter.) Confident in the bright destiny of England, he asserted his belief that the roll of her drums would be heard in every land ; that the boom of her cannon would still be the signal to the oppressor that there was an avenger, and to the oppressed that there was a deliverer ; tha t the winds of a ll lands will England, a powerf u l , a mercantile,supported and sus t a i ne d , an d fill her sails ; that the water s of ever y shor e would sustain blessedher keels; Gaondd, will that b E e na prosperous, and maritime nation to the very end of the present world. England at this moment presented a grand spectacle. Never before were such efforts made to bring the light of the Gospel down into the depths of the social and moral degradation which e xists in society. At this moment England was powerful and respected. That old, unhappy priest of Rome, who felt that he was in a very precarious position, asked his own people to come and help him out of his difficulty, and re pel Garibaldi and the King of Sardinia. How did they re spond P Per I,oooyears the power and influence of the Pope dom had been consolidated. The English Church was held in a granary outside the walls of Rome, because no heretics were allowed to disturb the repose of the eternal city, The field at the command of the Pope was splendid, his opportunity was grand ; 1,000 years of power had been given to his Church. He fell into difficulties, and asked his own people to help him, but he did not get 1,000 of them to help him. He had to hire the Algerine General Lamoriciere, he bad to send collectors to all the purlieus and infamous dens of Austria, France, Switzerland, and even into the bogs of Tipperary—the off-scourings of Dr. Cullen's flock. (Laughter and cheers.) The Brigade, poor fellows, had come home with a wiser and better opinion of the Pope than they had before. (Laughter.) When he got them they were worth nothing. That state of things was a marked contrast to the position of England. Our beloved Queen, faintly, and without ostentation, put into the mouth of her Minister the expression of the bare possibility that the boom of a French gun might be heard on our white cliffs ; that the foot of a foe might touch our soil ; and no sooner was that possibility made known than 200,000 of the best blood of England, in the form of rifle and artillery volunteers, sprang up to defend her. (Cheers) He thought the scenes which had lately taken place would make the despots think twice be fore, in their cabinets, they proposed to invade England. Ho held that the fulfilment of the prophecies approached I ear. On every hand there were indications of app cach ing conflict. What nation was not agitated, what court was not prepared for war, what king had not his hand on his sword-hilt ? Every people seemed to be trembling with the fear of things that were coming upon the earth, as if God was giving a presentiment of that terrible conflict in wiiich England may suffer; but out of which England would emerge powerful, prosperous, better, and greater than ever she had been before. Dr. Cumming concluded amidst great applause.
