IHE SOY, LONL ON, SATURDAY E v ENING, OCTOBER 13, 1866, It is true, as the French writer says, that Russia " is a Power not much burdened with scruples as to the legality of conquest, or the means of annexation." We consider that this comment of the French critic is the best satire on the opinion of those who have persisted in declaring that the late success of Prussia will be a triumph of national principles, and further the cause of unity in Germany. Already we see that sharp-witted observers declare that the only staunch supporter of the Berlin policy must be sought in the most tyrannical Government of Europe, and this being perfectly true in theory, whether the fact actually comes before us or not, people may wt.:ll pause before they accord their support to Prussia. The Jamaica Committee have at last decided on taking the step they have so long talked about, and the prosecution of Mr. EYRE is to he a reality, and not a semblance. They have issued an address to their friends throughout the country, which is cha racterised by the same virulent language, and con tains the same unfounded charges, as those com munications and remarks which have already emanated from the members who form the com mittee. The Government has declined to do its duty, we are told in their address, and hence the Jamaica Committee come forward to submit " to judicial investigation the conduct of Governor EYRE and his subordinatesinputting to death Mr. GORDON and other British subjects for treason and other alleged offences without trial." By the time the Courts resume their sittings the committee hope to have all in readiness; and in order to meet the expenses they require the sum of ten thousand pounds, and earnestly solicit the support of their friends. The only excuse attempted to be made for this extraor dinary proceeding is that they intend to vindicate the law. The Southampton Banquet has apparently given great offence, and all that then took place is denounced in the most vehement manner in this address. It is in order to prevent the possibility of such things being done in the future that the com mittee is now so eager and earnest in car rying out its plans, and in so doing nothing seems to stop them. No regard for truth is observable, and no respect for persons. On the contrary, we learn that until the law has been as serted the British public " cannot feel assured that British subjects who may have given offence to a Iparty in power will not again be put to death with out lawful trial." Can anything be more monstrous than this, more unfounded, and more uncalled for? Deeply as we regret that any body of Englishmen should set such an example to their countrymen of prejudice, intolerance, and injustice, we believe that this may be another of the numerous instances that out of evil cometh good. For Mr. EYRE himself this prosecution may be the best thing. In the first place, it shows the malignant character of the persecution he has met with, and the desire of his enemies to hunt him down to the last ex tremity. Besides this, an investigation in a court in this country will be very different from the pro ceedings that took place before the Commissioners in Jamaica. That was a judicial inquiry, which was so fettered by routine and ceremony that much which would have vindicated the course pursued by Mr. EYRE did not come out at all. Now the case will be different, and there will be nothing to prevent the fullest fullest publicity being given to all that can be brought forward. We need scarcely say that that the publication of this address calls for the greatest. activity on the part of those who are on the side of Mr. EYRE, and who would desire to vindicate the cause of one who has been so maligned and oppressed. If ever there was a case which called for support, it is that of the ex- Governor of Jamaica, and we do not expect that in this, his hour of peril, he will find himself unsup ported. The course pursued by the Jamaica Com mittee is one in every respect inimical to the cha racter of the English people, and we feel convinced that the means for the defence will be found inade quate. We have not now to do with the criticism of those who have conducted the Jamaica Com- THE LAST EDITION of " TIIE SUN" supplied as soon as Published, coat:dram; all the LA rE6T rAVS an.t SAM LING 'NI:ELMO P;NUS, by It. \V.

It is necessary to impress upon the public the importance of being prepared to meet this unwarrantable attack. They may be sure that the spirit of malevolence, already so strongly dis played, will yet prevail, and that no pains will be spared to carry out their envy to the utmost. If Mr. EYRE now meets with the support which he deserves we do not fear for the result, and after his acquittal it will be time enough for the people of this country to express their opinion of those who have so demeaned themselves. We may safely say, without exaggeration, that in the memory of the present generation there has never been a case of more manifest injustice throughout than that of the persecution of Mr. Evr,E. He has saved a colony of great value and preserved the lives of its inhabitants, and yet, to suit the views of a party of fanatics, he is to be hunted from place to place till he is arraigned at the bar of justice on a criminal charge. Times are changed indeed if the English people are to sanction such proceedings, and tolerate the men who pursue them. The late Government were much to blame, but it now rests with the public to shelter Mr. EYRE from the ruin with which he is threatened, and to vindicate the cause he so consistently pursued.

The ratifications of the treaty of peace between Austria and Italy are by this time, no doubt, ex changed, and we may, therefore, regard this im portant matter as on fail accompli. This is in every respect matter for rejoicing, and we may regard it, indeed, as one of the most notable events of the late war, and, at any rate, it promises to be one of the most lasting of its achievements. All the political prisoners in Venetia were yesterday set at liberty, and, in a short time, all the Austrian soldiers will have departed from the Venetian terri tory. This is an important era in Italian history, and yet we may safely say that there is more to fear than to hope for the future, unless the Italians are willing to learn, and to profit by the lessons of the past. In every sense of the word there has been cause to regret the mode in which they have con ducted affairs of late. They have none of the honours of war to put beside the triumphs of peace, which are not theirs, and they will not mend mat ters by showing acerbity of disposition, and indig nation without restraint. The trial of Admiral PEI:SAN° is not an event likely to conduce to their credit, and we cannot see why it should take place at all. In consequence of the turn events have taken the Italians are now in possession of more than they ever dreamed of really obtaining during the last ten years, and why not let byegones be bye gones? If this prosecution end in an acquittal where will be th e ga i n? And, if otherwise, the disgrace will be great. It is, indeed, lamentable that such a course should have been adopted, and although there might have been great errors committed, we cannot see that anything justices such an extreme measure being taken. Italy is not ac ti ng wisely in display ing to the world such want of reticence, and the errors now committed may hereafter be re membered against her. It is not...likely that in an other war she will have the aid of Prussia, an d she should therefore seek to develop her resources and restore internal harmony. The Atlantic Cable has brought us the intelligence that the Radicals have carried the Pennsylvania election, which is usually accepted as indicative of the character of the whole Congress. The important issue to which Democrats and Radicals have alike looked forward with such intense anxiety and excite ment may be therefore looked upon as decided in favour of the latter. This will be unwelcome news to all who have been anticipating a time of peace and prosperity for the re-United States—a space in which th' bitter memories of the war might be forgotten, and both sides might join in the work of restoring harmony a n d internal tranquillity to their common country. The close of a civil war is always a time of great trial and difficulty; and if the Americans, after their terrible and protracted struggle, have recovered from its effects sooner than the most sanguine dared to hope, it has been partly due to the natural energy and buoyancy of the people, and partly to the firmness and humanity of ANDREW JOHNSON. A self-made man, who had risen without any of the advantages of wealth, or position, or scholarship, to the very highest offices in the State, by the sheer force of his character and talents, he had the rare sagacity to see the only wise and statesmanlike course, and the courage . to adapt it unhesitatingly and unreservedly, regardless of opposition and un popularity. He had to do this at no small cost, for he was forced t o ac t i n di rec t oppos i t i on t o hi s for mer associates and to the party which had elected him to office; y he wa s compe ll e d t o assume an atti tudepress, and platform,adu antagonistic to the Congress, and repaid him with unmeasuredpopular ab r o e s p e r . e s t e a t h i a v s e s been denounced as a traitor and a renegade, and threat ened with impeachment, amenities of oratory which, we must admit, Mr. JOIISNON has not scrupled to repay in kind. But setting aside all intemperance of language and extravagance of expression, there remains the one great difference between the PEESIDENT'S party and the Radicals. The one would rule the Southern States, The general effect of their late war is far more one of isolation than of unity, and Prussia may, doubtless, find this to be true in the long ran. The French journals seem already to realise some of the difficulties in store for the Berlin Government, and we find that they make some able comments thereupon. The Montle goes over the list of the various kingdoms of Europe, and arrives at the conclusion that the only ally that Prussia is likely to make will 'be Russia. Austria's friendship is quite out of the question ; Italy is weighed down with debt ; England cares not to mix in continental questions ; and France has no chance of making a " durable alliance" with Berlin. Russia, is fixed upon, but we do not see any deckled reason giYea for ouch an occurrence. the other would govern them. The PRESIDENT LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ref uses them their separate independence, (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) but acknowledges their right to self-govern ment, and especially to that privilege which every free and intelligent population lays claims to —the right of representation. The Radical theory of government is as yet a string of negatives, so far as the white population of the South are concerned. They are not to be admitted to Congress, they arc not to be capable for office, they are not to be self governing. What is to be done with an intelli gent and high-spirited population, numbered by millions, who are already rankling under a sense of defeat and humiliation, these politicians do not tell us. They lavish their denunciations and lay down their dogmas, forgetting that they have never yet been put to the proof. The South has had con fidence in the PRESIDENT, and has stood resolutely between them and the unscrupulous vindictive ness of their enemies. If General BUTLER and Parson BROWNLOW are to legislate for the Southern States, we have yet to see the consequences. The present aspect of affairs in the States is calculated to excite some uneasiness in the minds of those who have been looking forward to see America emerge from her troubles great, prosperous, and free. A division between the PRESIDENT and the Congress is an event much to be deplored ; yet we can hardly hope that Mr. JOIINSON will abandon his principles, nor can we reasonably anticipate any moderation on the part of the Radicals. We do not want to have the old contests renewed with increased virulence, the PRESIDENT vetoing the bills sent up to him from the Senate, and the Congress overriding the veto. We do not want to see the representative authority and the offi cial prerogative in direct opposition to one another, and the press and the army, the Con gress and the Cabinet, in diametrical antago nism. Such a spectacle may be very exciting and advantageous to a few turbulent spirits, who pro fit by the misfortunes of their country; but to the friends of progress and of liberty, the advocates of civilisation and Christianity, it would be mournful and disheartening in the extreme. It is quite evident that if the new Congress is bent on carrying the Constitutional Amendment it must make some important concessions if it wishes to avoid the national ruin entailed by another civil war. It must expunge the clause excluding from any office those who took any part in the war—which is tantamount, as the Radi cal leaders very well know, to excluding the whole white population of the South, not only from representation, but from self-government in any form whatever. They must postpone to a future day the settlement of the vexed question of negro suffrage. A little inquiry into the facts of the case will show them that the negroes as a body are unfit for political power in their present condition, and that it would be the height of folly to give the power of influencing the Legis lature to men who have yet to recognise the obli gations to work for their livings. A state of things which would exclude Gen. LEE from a vote, and empower a negro to be Governor of Virginia, can not, in common sense or consistency, be found to answer; and we can only hope that the influence of the more thoughtful and moderate section of the public will temper the vehemence and extravagance of the Radical faction. AMERICA. (Br ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.) NEW YORK, Oct. 10. The Radicals have carried the elections in Penn- sylvania. The steamer Evening Star, for New Orleans, has foundered at sea. Three hundred lives were lost. The Hamburg and American Company's steam ship Teutonia and the North German Lloyd's steamer Bremen have arrived out. ARRIVAL OF THE JAVA. (Via Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, Oct. 3. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. Mr. Sumner has delivered an address at Boston on "The One Man in Power versus Congress." In his discourse he animadverted at length upon Pre sident Johnson's conduct of the Government, ac cusing him of having assumed the legislative func tions, and declared that the present State Govern ments in the South were not of Republican form. The Congressional and Constitutional Amendment must, he said, he adopted, and the universal suf frage demanded and secured by the North could not be left to be granted to the negroes by the Southern States themselves. Ile also declared that all negroes who held to their allegiance were entitled to citizen ship. (From the Illustrated London News.) The District Attorney has announced that no courts will be held at Richmond at present. Mr. Secretary Chase will not preside at the No- vember term. It is believed that Mr. Davis's counsel will de mand a writ of habeas corpus to bring Mr. Davis before the State Courts. If not, the bar of Rich mond will take the matter in hand. The September statement of the public debt will show a decrease of $15,000,000 in the indebtedness of the United States, as well as a large increase of specie. The Government has entered a nolle prosequir in the case of the Fenian President Roberts. Advices received here from Toronto state that the Fenian prisoners there will be tried next week. At a meeting which has been held at Victoria, Vancouver's Island, Mr. M , Clure announced that it was the intention of the Government to introduce a resolution petitioning the Home Government for a responsible Government in Vancouver's Island, and for a reciprocity treaty with the United States, and that in case this failed, the Queen would be solicited to arrange for the annexation of the colony to the United States. The Royal mail steamship Java, from New York on the 3d inst., arrived at Queenstown at 4.50 a.m. (Oct. 13), with 96 passengers and $92,158 in specie. She landed 25 passengers and all the mails, con sisting of 116 sacks, and proceeded immediately for Liverpool, all well. ARRIVAL OF THE FULTON. FALMOUTH, OCt. 11. The New York and Havre Company's steamship Fulton arrived here to-day. She landed thirty nine sacks of mails and two p ass engers. Sixty three cabin passengers p r oceeded to Havre. The will of the Hon. llarriet Catherine Lady Capel, late of Cambridge-street, Hyde Park, was proved in London on the 22d ult., and the personal , property sworn under £lB,OOO, the executors being': the Right llon. Arthur De Vere Capel, Viscount Malden ; Francis Lowe, Esq., of the Inner Temple, and Frederick William Oliver, solicitor. Lady Capel was the relict of Admiral the Hon. Sir Thomas Bladen Capel, (a son of the fourth Earl of Essex), to whom she was married in 1816. Her ladyship's will bears date Aug. 9, 1860, with a codicil executed the same day ; she died July 30, 1866. Her ladyship bequeaths the Trafalgar cup, and the snuffbox with the picture of Lord Nelson painted thereon, also the blood-stone snuffbox pre sented to Admiral Capel by Lord Mark Kerr, all of which belonged to her late husband, to the Earl of Essex and his successors. To the Countess of Essex she bequeaths all the Dresden and fancy and ornamental china. To Viscount Malden her lady ship bequeaths the diamond tiarra for his life, and afterwards to his wife, and then to the next Earl. All the plate, not otherwise specifically disposed of, her ladyship bequeaths to the Hon. Algernon Capel, and, after his decease, to his eldest son. There are many other legacies and specific bequests to rela tives and friends. Her ladyship bequeaths all her wearing apparel (except lace) to the person who shall be living with her as lady's-maid at the time of her decease. Her estates in Jamaica she devises to the sons of her late cousin, Henry Leach, Esq., of Corston House, Pembrokeshire, subject to an annuity to the daughter of the said Henry Leach. The residue of her personal estate, including that under the will of the late Joseph Royal!, Esq., of Great Cumberland-street, she bequeaths amongst her nephews, nieces, and cousins. The will of Lieut.-Col. Sir Emanuel Felix Agar, K. 8., late of her Majesty's Army, retired, formerly an officer in the Life Guards, and late of Stratford place, was proved in the London Court, on the 22d ult., by the executors and trustees—namely, Arthur Montagu, Edward Leopold Denys (the nephew), Arthur Perry Bower, and Henry Morton Cotton, Esqrs. The personalty was sworn under £25,000. 'The gallant colonel had served in the Peninsula, and in early life bad been employed in the Treasury of the Navy. He formerly represented Sudbury in Par liament, and died, Aug. 28, 1866, at the age of 83. His will is dated May 17, 1864, and a codicil May 30, 1866. Sir Emanuel was hereditary governor of the British Institution, 52, Pall-mall, and bequeaths to his nephew, Edward Leopold Denys, all his in terest therein. He directs that all the family paint ings be held as heirlooms by his niece Juliana Louisa Montagu. There are a few bequests to personal friends and others. The residue of his property he divides between his nephew Edward Leopold Denys and his niece Juliana Louisa Montagu. The win of the late Anthony Willson, Esq., for merly M.P. for the southern division of the county of Lincoln, was proved on the 24th ult. by the exe cutors, Col. Fans, M.P. for Hants, and Mr. Chas.

Mrs. Mary Ante Parson, late of Tunbridge Wells, leaves the residue of her property to be divided be tween the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Pastoral Aid Society, Church Missionary Society, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the London Society for the Conver sion of the Jews, and the Society for the Enlarging, Building, and Repairing of Churches. MEXICO. NEW YORK, Oct. 3. The New York Herald publishes advices from Mexico, which state that Santa Anna has negotiated a loan of $3,000,000 with three New York banking houses. Ile had purchased six steamers at New York for the Liberals, and had despatched an ex pedition of '2,000 men to land at some point on the Mexican coast. Mr. Seward had used his diplomacy to bring about a league between Santa Anna and the Fenians. it is reported, via St. Francisco, that the Empe ror Maximilian had countermanded the evacuation of Sonora, but that the French commander, having embarked his troops, had refused to land them HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.—THE FIRST BATTLE OF LISSA, 1811.—The following extract may not be without interest in connection with recent events:—" Four British frigates, under the conduct of Capt. Iloste, were attacked near the Isle of Lissa, in the Adriatic Sea, by Du Bordieu, who had 11 French and Italian armed vessels, with more than a double proportion of guns, and three times the number of men. Trusting to this great superiority, the enemy expected to destroy or capture the whole of the op posing squadron, and began with an attempt to break the hue ; bat after a contest of six hours, two of the French frigates were taken, and one was burnt."— Russel afolory 0 Proclern , 'Elwin, y9l. yi, p. 326. Allah Effendi, at Brussels, for the supposed murder of his pupil at an hotel in that city. The press in France and Belgium has been for some time oc cupied in preparing the public for the denouement of one of those romantic dramas which large cities occasionally afford. The career of Risk Allah Effendi has been full of incident. The gay circles of London abounded at one time with gossip re lating to the then young Turkish student, who was following the lectures on medicine at the London University. His Oriental costume, his prepossess ing appearance, and the fluency with which he spoke most languages, rendered him a general favourite. He received from the Ottoman Embassy in London the title of medical attaché. After paying attention to several ladies of fortune, he eventually attached himself to a fair dame who, having been twice the widow of men of fortune, was possessed of consi derable wealth. The world said they were not so happy as they might be, and after a short residence at Boulogne the lady died, bequeathing the greater portion of her wealth to her husband, Risk Allah Effendi ; but a sum of money was left to a young lad, a relation of a former husband, on attaining his majority. Risk Allah was appointed his guardian, and was to possess the amount bequeathed by this legacy of his ward died before coming of age. Risk Allah took the young man to Turkey, where he assumed the rank of bey or colonel. It was said that the youth escaped from various dangers whilst in the East. Together they eventually returned to Europe. As it may be remembered, a great sensa tion was produced by the accounts in the journals of Brussels of a suicide of a young lad in that city towards the end of last year. This was the young man to whom Risk Allah was guardian. A judicial inqßiry took place, and Risk Allah Effendi was placed in confinement for several days, but there was a want of evidence that he was in any way con nected with the death of the youth. He came to Paris after the investigation, where he was received by numerous friends, anxious to show their sym pathy for a person accused of a crime of which he was declared to be altogether innocent. He at this period published a volume, containing a narrative of his life and adventures, which was eagerly read by a wide circle, for he had many acquaintances. In this way he penetrated into certain circles in Paris, and was regarded as an amusing person. Not very long since he returned to London again. Mean while the Belgian police had got hold of some cor respondence of a Turkish servant of Risk Allah's connected with the death of the youth, who was found dead in bed with the pistol by his side which had inflicted the mortal wound. The Belgian Mi nister of London was ordered to demand his arrest for a criminal offence, and he is now in prison at Brussels waiting a second trial, which comes off at the end of this month. The Industriel Alsacien, which is published at Nlulhausen, and which, considering its proximity to Switzerland, ought to be well informed as to the in cidents attendant on the appearance of the bovine pest in the cantons of the Grisons and Schaffausen, confirms the opportuneness of the measures applied to a certain extent of frontier as announced by the Moniteur. " A drove of oxen," it says, " bought at Salzburg (Austria), and taken into the Tyrol, com municated the typhus of the Steppes to some ani mals at Coire (Grisons) and the neighbourhood, and appears to have scattered the germs all along the road. The cases which have occurred in Switzer land are far from numerous, and the Federal as well as the local Governments, have taken such energetic measures, under the direction of M. Zaagger, of Zurich, that we may be certain to see the evil soon stifled in Switzerland. The fright experienced and the imminence of the danger will induce our neigh bours to establish a strong barrier against the scourge, and we hope that on this side France w ill have nothing to fear. But the evil is more menac ing than ever in the Austrian States." The jour nal remarks that the Prussian and Austrian armies were fed on oxen brought from Russia, and that in consequence, during a month past, the epidemic has been reported in Silesia, Moravia, and Bohemia, and that it has just penetrated by the Archduchy of Austria and the Salzburg as far as the Tyrol. BOURSE, Oct. 12.—Two o'clock.—The market is dull and uncertain, and while some securities ob tain a slight advance, others, on the contrary, show a decline. Threes have advanced 10c., to 68f. 75c.

The Jamaica Committee have issued the fol lowing address to their friends throughout the country _ _ _ 65, Fleet-street, London, October, 1866. Sir,—For the reasons set forth in the accompany ing " Statement"—to which particular attention is requested—the Jamaica Committee resolved to undertake the duty which the Government had de clined, of submitting to judicial investigation the conduct of Governor Eyre and his subordinates in putting to death Mr. Gordon and other British subjects for treason, sedition, and other alleged offences without a lawful trial. The subscriptions and guarantees already received have justified the committee in taking the first steps ; and they hope, by the time the Courts re sume their sittings, to be in possession of the opinion of eminent counsel as to the form of in dictment and method of procedure. The process, owing to the distance of Jamaica and other circumstances, will be very expensive ; and it is evident that the committee will have to encounter a powerful resistance, backed by all the resources of wealth. They deem it necessary, there fore, to appeal to the public to raise the fund to £lO,OOO. Your personal aid is earnestly requested, both in the form of subscription or guarantee, and in that of endeavouring to secure the co-operation of your friends. In making this appeal, the committee desire once more to state that their sole object is to vindicate • the law. That the law has not yet been vindicated, that the principles of public liberty and justice impugned by the acts of Governor Eyre and his subordi nates have not yet been effectively asserted, that no adequate security had been obtained against a repetition of such acts by men in power for the future, the Southampton banquet, the sentiments expressed at that banquet, the doctrines propounded by the chairman and other members of the Eyre Defence and Aid Committee, and the bearing of Mr. Eyre himself, are sufficient proofs. The conduct of the ex-Governor, so far from being repented of or repudiated, is held up as a model for imitation ; and the committee submit that, as the matter at present stands, the public cannot feel assured that British subjects, who may have given offence to a party in power, will not again be put to death without lawful trial ; or that those who have been concerned in such proceedings will not again be ap plauded, caressed, and marked out for future re ward and honour by peers, members of Parliament, chaplains of her Majesty, magistrates, and other persons in high station. The only adequate, as well as the only constitu tional safeguard, is the decision of a court of justice, which, as the Committee submit , t hose su pp orter s - of the ex-Governor who believe that Mr. Gordon, Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Lawrence came lawfully and fairly to their ends, ought to be the last to decline. The Committee also desire once more, in reply to persistent misrepresentation, to repeat that the acts for which they are about to prosecute were not done in the suppression of the so-called rebellion. Mr. Gordon, Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Lawrence all suf fered after the period at which, as Mr. Eyre him self expressly stated, the insurrection had been com pletely crushed. They suffered, there is reason to suspect, for offence given to the party in power, quiteindependently of the disturbances, with which no one of the three was proved to have been con nected in any way whatever. While the interests of public liberty form the most obvious ground for an official protest against the lawless violence of persons in authority, it must not be forgotten that justice is also due to the memory and to the families of those who have been put to a felon's death, and buried as felons beneath the gal lows, for crimes of which there is reason to believe they were not lawfully or justly convicted. The committee commend to your support an undertaking which they believe to be essential to the interests of public liberty and justice. They have come forward as private individuals to put the law in motion only on the positive and almost con tumacious reftisal of the Government to do its duty, by inquiring into the cases in which, there was reason to believe, the lives of subjects of Her Ma jesty had been illegally taken. But having come forward, they will not fail the public if the public will not fail them. John Stuart Mill, M.P., Chairman ; P. A. Taylor, M.P., Treasurer ; F. W. Chesson, Hon. Secretary ; Thos.

A numerously attended meeting of the inhabitants of this city was held yesterday in the Central Hall, at which a resolution was unanimously adopted pro testing against the resources of the country being any longer employed in maintaining the Saxon army in a foreign country, on the ground that the object for which the supplies had been voted ceased to exist at the termination of the war. A motion was introduced proposing the establishment of a eg al representation of the people in order to facili tate the conclusion of peace. The debate on this motion was adjourned. FRANCE• ----- - His Majesty, it is stated, telegraphed to the King of Italy his affectionate felicitations on the conclu sion of peace. There has also been an interchange of telegraphic despatches between Vienna and Turin—an incident not known for years. The Grand Duchess Maria of Russia, the Princess Murat and her daughter, Madame de Chasseron, and Count and Countess Walewski were present, the evening before last, at the performance of " Nos Bons Villageois" at the Gymnase. The marriage of Count Joachim Murat, member of the Legislative Body, with Mdlle. Barrot, daugh ter of M. Adolphe Barrot, senator, of that name, formerly French Ambassador at Madrid, was cele brated yesterday in the Chapel of the Senate, by the Abbe Cassagne. The witnesses were, for the bridegroom, Prince Lucien Murat and Marshal Can robert, and for the bride, Count Walewski and M. Odilon Barrot, her uncle. A sudden indisposition prevented her father from being present. A telegram from Nice announces the arrival there of M. Benedetti, and his departure on Thursday morning for Corsica. M.

EXCAVATIONS AT THE LOUVRE.—The court of the Louvre is now an object of peculiar interest to the Parisian public, owing to the excavations that are going on there, by order of the municipality, for the purpose of elucidating certain obscure points in history. Similar ex cavations undertaken near the French theatre a few years ago lad to the discovery of the exact site of the second gate bearing the namo'St. Honor 6, and also of the ravelin which defended it, the ditch of the wall built by Charles V., and the breastwork on the top of which Joan of Arc was wounded. The immediate object of the present exca vations in the court of the Louvre is to ascertain the site of the foundations of the fortress built by Philip Augustus, the plan of which has been nearly reconstructed from a minute examination of a considerable number of printed documents. Such was the precision of the orders given to the workmen that at the very first strokes of the pickaxe the trench was discovered, which corresponded to one of the principal entrances. By continuing the line, the work men.soon reached the foundations of the two towers flank ing that entrance. These towers aro constructed of excel lent stone, well hewn, and in a perfect state of preservation. A sewer has been found, which receives the water of the inner court, .and emptied them between the two towers into the ditch. It has been further ascertained that the principal staircase was polygonal ; and that the donjon keep was situated precisely where tradition had supposed it to be placed, its remains being not much below the level of he court. A variety of remains of foundations have been discovered, the existence of which was not suspected, but which unfortunately run under•the present palace be tITOIA 010 Pont do Arts and the Tour CIO rilorloge. r~~ ~. • , HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Thursday. The Queen went out in the morning, accom panied by Princess Christian, and drove in the after noon, accompanied by Princess Christian and Priu- cess Louise. Baron von Ucchtritz has arrived on a mission from the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, to announce the accession of Duke George. Major Elphinstone, C. 8., has arrived at the Castle. The Return of the Princ 3 and Princess of Wales from Scotland• On Thursday morning their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales closed their visit to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland at Dunrobin Castle, and, accompanied by the infant Princes Victor and George, and attended by Lieutenant- General Knollys and the Hon. Mrs. Coke and ser vants of the Royal household, proceeded in several carriages to the railway terminus at Bonar Bridge, the northern extreme of the Scottish Railway sys tem. Their royal highnesses and suite, after taking leave of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, pro ceeded by railway to Perth, where they dined, and at 7.30 in the evening took their departure for Lon don, the prince and princess occupying a saloon carriage in the auxiliary mail train, which reached the terminus of the North-Western Railway, Eus ton-square, at 10.25 yesterday forenoon, being nearly an hour beyond time. Several of the injince'S carriages and two forgone were in waiting to con vey their royal highnesses and retinue to Marlborough House. We understand the Queen of Denmark is hourly expected to arrive in this country on a visit to the prince and princess, and that her Majesty is expected to remain about three weeks. It is doubt ful if the King of Denmark will be able to visit England this autumn. A Pleasant Journey. ~ -- One of the numerous correspondents of the Times, on the subject of smoking in railway carriages, writes :—• " Last:evening I came by the London, Chatham, and Dover 7.25 train from Margate to town. On starting a delicate-looking young lady got in and. sat beside me. A person sitting on the other side of her was about to light a clay pipe. I appealed to him not to do so as there were ladies in the carriage, mentioning that as a smoker I did not personally object. He most willingly abstained for a minute or so ; but his friend opposite immediately lit his pipe, and the first-named one followed suit. On arriving at Whitstable or Faversham I complained to a guard, and handed him my card. The smokers were ordered to desist, and I was told that if they continued smoking to call the attention of the guard at the next station. I soon found what a hornet's nest I had raised, for supplemented by two other friends, the smokers abused me the rest of the journey, calling me " common informer," "dis agreeable passenger," "walking tallyman," "old woman," &c., and continued their smoking till all their matches were exhausted, varying their amuse ment by obscene language and dirty innuendoes, and by insulting an old lady, who, from the noise in the carriage, was unfortunately carried beyond Sittingbourne, her destination, to Chatham ; but who, before alighting, asked me to see her young female companion into another carriage, as she did not think it safe for any young girl to travel alone with such a disgraceful set, and who told the parties she had never in her life had such an unpleasant journey. " The person who was the ringleader in these pro ceedings got out at Walworth-road, thereupon I requested the guard to obtain his name and address, as I had determined to summon him. The guard,. however, sent on the train in a hurry, left me at thn station, and the only railway official there was 5 young porter who took the tickets, but could do nothing. "In doing what I considered my duty I got roundly abused for over two hours, had as much smoke (if not more) than if I had kept silence, occa sioned my fellow passengers, in common with mY' self, much annoyance, and in the place of getting redress had the pleasure of walking home from Wal mirth instead of being carried to Ludgate-hill." A Yeai's Crime in the West Riding. Captain Armytage, the governor of the West Riding prison, at Wakefield, has issued to the magistrates of that division of Yorkshire a tabulated statement showing the offences that have been COra" mitted in the West Riding, and the number of pri soners in custody for the year ending the 30th ol September last. Notwithstanding an increase of the population in the West Riding, the number of pri soners in 1865 and 1866 is less by about 250 than for the preceding year. There are now in the West Riding prison 4,578 males, and 1,178 female pri soners, making a total of 5,756. The offences ar e classified as follows :—Felons committed from tli ° assizes or sessions, 97.7 ; juvenile offenders; 123,;ci summarily convicted larcenies, 585 ; rogues an vagabonds, 564 ; vagrants, 210 ; neglect of 166 , ; disorderly paupers, 94 ; common prostitutes, 131 ; common assaults, 643 ; aggravated assaults' 80 ; want of sureties, 136 ; military offenders, 66 t ; for breach of revenue laws, 12 ; misdemeanants se n from the assizes and sessions, 283; for wilful darnag e ig i 220 ; for drunkenness, 1,009 ; for neglect of '6 991. 0 and being disorderly apprentices, 104 ; under li l t bastardy laws, 90,; under the game laws, 71 ; 0 tb ,, 0 summary convictions, 364 ; and prisoners in cust oai i 58.
