Taking all things into consideration it must be confessed that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has suc ceeded pretty well in his expedition to Hungary, and so far satisfaction seems to prevail. He was very well received everywhere, which circumstance formed a striking contrast to the silence with which the Queen of SPAIN was met on her recent return to her capital after five months of absence. Whatever may be the errors which the Imperial Government have committed in point of policy, and however insincere may be some of their mos t hi n professions, it cannot be denied that great c on fid ence has been shown to the Hungarians, and that they have met it in a similar spirit. The EMPEROR did not make his way through the streets of Pesth surrounded by military and guarded by police, but he relied on the good-will of the _people, who thronged to greet his arrival. An imposing cere mony took place upon the occasion of the EM PEROR'S delivering his speech, and altogether the affair was very impressive. The EMPEROR was declared to have read his discourse as well as if he had been born in Hungary. It cannot be said — although the speech seems most comprehensive in its details and most ingenious in its construction — that it really removes any of the obstacles which impede the progress of affairs, or that it renders the solution of the problems so difficult to solve any the more likely of occur- The EMPEROR does not appear willing previously c oncerted plans, and when to give pp his the excitement consequent upon his visit is over we shall doubtless witness anew the unsettled con dition of affairs and the angry clamour of debate which have already given rise to so much confusion, and marred all progress worthy of the name. The silence of Herr VON DEAR during the delivery of the discourse was most significant, and if the Em- PEROR cannot yet persuade and almost convince this influential personage, he will find on his return that his visit has been lost labour, and his efforts of no avail. The EMPEROR sets out by stating that he desires to remove those obstacles which interfere with the " solution of the pending political questions." In order to do this the more effectually he announces that the intended under6tanding can neTer be arriyed rence.

When Tennessee was to no agreement." This is true in theory, but %dill we doubt if the object in view can be achierail by the plans:proposed in this speech, which is, after all, but a resume and exposition of the policy long since promulgated by the Imperial Government. The Pragmatic Sanction is the great point of departure, upon which the Hungarians are now told all the reconstruction of the Empire depends. This appears to be of a very elastic nature, for we find in studying its definitions that it guarantees the independence of the bare right of the Kingdom of Hungary, and yet upholds the inseparable and indivisible tie of the kingdom and countries " under the rule of our House, and therefore their solidity as a great Power." This may sound very well to those who regulate their notions of government, and seek to conform their views to the doctrines of German mysticism, but to English ears it seems very like a contradiction in terms, or at any rate to be an passed over, Mr. MAYNARD of that State rose and asked permission to make a remark. He was over ruled by the Clerk. Again he rose at the end of the reading, but the Clerk again silenced him. After the motion for the election of a Speaker, Mr. MAYNARD renewed his attempt to speak with the same success, this time being called to order by THADECS STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, a prime leachr in the Republican movement. But the South was not without an advocate, for Mr. BROOKS, of New York, in defiance of incessant interruption, boldly brought up the question of Southern representation, and, speaking of the loyalty of Mr. ALkYNARD, asked why he was not to be allowed to present his creden tials, and why the Virginian delegation was ex cluded ; asking, while he moved that Mr. MAY -1 NARD'S name be placed upon the roll, if Tennessee were not in the Union how it was the President was attempt to carry out a scheme of government which is illusory in its advantages, and practical in its evils. How can a kingdom be independent in itself, and yet be under the necessity of conforming to the rules laid down and the policy pursued by another and more powerful State ? When we consider the fluctuations to which ar bitrary Governments are subject, it seems perfectly impossible to realise the idea conveyed to us in this Imperial discourse, and certainly the late events in Hungary do not encourage us to make the attempt in a sanguine spirit. We now come to a stumbling block even in the fair-sounding descriptions here given, for even as the rights are to be without any reserve within the limits there exists a necessity for the " necessary and legallimitation of that inde pendence." Again, further on it is declared that it is necessary to take into account the events of recent years, even while every care will be taken to pre serve those clauses which refer to the integrity of the Hungarian Crown. The EMPEROR lays great stress upon the efforts which have been made in various directions to afford the Diets an opportu nity of " serious and earnest consideration" respect ing the points in dispute, so that there may be established an understanding which is real and lasting. It seems to result, after all, in this—that the several Diets and Assemblies which are con voked, and are aboat to be so, are to say all they like, and propose what they require, and that they must entertain a delightful uncertainty as to whether or not their thoughts will be as the thoughts of the Imperial Government, and their ways tend in the same direction in which the Councils of State are tending in Vienna. If we could see one decided principle of action laid down, if we could hear one positive assurance of the rights of nations being ranked high above the necessity of limitation and the changes and chances of passing events, we should entertain a far more sanguine expectation of a happy result than we can now possibly do with the whole weight of the arguments so dexterously put before us, and the combination of expediency and subversion which seem to be the order of the day. With all due respect to the EMPEROR, we cannot put faith in these complicated and contra dictory arrangements which are based upon the spirit of the Pragmatic Sanction. They may pass muster at a State ceremonial, but they will never stand the test of time, nor the trying events of political changes. It is difficult to reconcile the apparent incon sistency which has prevailed in the councils of the Empire, and which also seems to rule the spirit of this discourse. There have been so many and such various diplomas and patents that it might fairly puzzle the most astute to decipher, or discern their influence on affairs. The chief result of all this has been that want of faith exists in a great degree to an alarming ex tent among the kingdoms and States which are to form the solidarity of the great Power so empathically referred to by the EMPEROR. Towards the close of his speech the EMPEROR intimates the impossibility that exists of putting into effect in full force the laws of 1848. They are to be modified, we learn, and doubtless rightly interpreted. This expression may seem to inform us that they are to be robbed of half their value at least. Reciprocal rights and duties are to be settled, and that will necessarily entail an endless succession of difficulties. The EMPEROR declares his readiness to take the inaugu ral oath to the Hungarian Constitution " modified in accordance with the times, and perma nently established for remote posterity." The first of these predictions is much more likely to be verified than the other. Nothing is of a lasting character that is not founded on a right principle ; and, turn it over as we may in our minds, no principle exists in all this tirade on Hungarian affairs, but the desire of obtaining absolute sway under the specious pretence of conformity to national rights, and an adherence as far as possible to estab lished customs. This may succeed for a time, but in the long run it will be found that the Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH has built his house upon sand, and not upon the enduring foundation of a people's trust and confidence, which alone can withstand be storms of fate. in his place at the White House ? Mr. STEVENS interposed by declaring that this debate was out of order, the motion for the election of the Speaker not being decided upon, and the House passed on to elect Mr. COLFAX. Immediately afterwards a Radi cal member proposed that the officers of the House should be appointed, and the names determined upon by the Radicals were at once announced, in cluding, of course, that of the Clerk who read the roll, the other party not being even allowed to nominate candidates. The next move was to carry a resolution, referring the great question of the admission of the Southern Representatives to a joint committee of fifteen members of the Senate and the House. THADEUS STEVENS, who moved this reso lutidn, will be the chairman of this committee, and the majority of the members will of course be Radicals, so that it is not difficult to guess what sort of achance the most loyal Southerner will have. It is worth notice that this ingeniously framed reso lution provides that pending the report of this illus trious committee no member shall be received into either House from any so-called Confederate State, and " papers relating to the Representatives of the said States shall be referred to the said committee without debate." Apparently the Radicals are afraid of any more home truths and searching questions such as found a place in Mr. BROOKS'S address , I and so they provide, as far as they can, against hearing any one's voice than their own. And this is the end of the boasted American freedom of speech, of thought, of individual action ! This is the result of those democratic principles which secure to every man a voice in the govern ment of the country ! Truly the most prejudiced upholder of an absolute despotism could hardly have devised a more bitter satire on the political adminis tration of the great Republic than that an all important question like the representation of vast States, whose population is reckoned by millions, should be virtually left to the decision of a petty Clerk ! It was well known prior to the meet ing of Congress that Mr. M'PHERSON had de clared he would not enter a single State on the roll, and though such a course would have been impossible without the concurrence of the Radical majority, yet the omission itself took the other party at a disadvantage, and was eminently favourable to Mr. STEVENS and his friends. Of course, his re-appointment as Clerk rewards this patriotic servant after the manner in which Ame rican Radicals best like to be rewarded, and the party he has so signally served reap the fruits of their labours in securing their large majority. The Southern Representatives, if admitted, would naturally have strengthened the hands of the Democrats, but the Radicals will have it now their own way, and may proceed to appropriate Southern estates to the payment of the - Northern national debt, according to the memorial to Congress, adopted at a recent Radical meeting, held at Dr. CHEEVER'S church in New York. At this meeting the PRE SIDENT was strongly denounced, and the memorial is violently opposed to his reconstruction policy, especially as regards the negro suffrage. The great object of the Radicals, in spite of the experience of Jamaica, is to put the negro at once on a complete equality with the white man; and so far do they go that Mr. SUM NER, at the opening of the Senate, presented a bill providing that in sections where one-sixth of the population are Africans, all grand juries shall consist to the extent of one-half of negroes. The fact is that the Radical and professedly Abolition party are far more anxious to irritate and incense the Sonthern people into opposition than to induce them to agree to their plans. Every one admits that slavery is dead. Why then should these men persist in the attempt to galvanise the corpse and perpetuate the subject of dispute ? The South have had emancipation forced upon them. Let the people therefore have time to get reconciled to it before pushing on the questions of negro suffrage and equality. Nothing can be less calculated to benefit the negro himself than to thrust him into political prominence before he has fully realised the fact that he must work, whether bond or free, if he would live. The Radicals hope to re tain their influence over the negroes, so that they would gain whatever political strength could be got from the suffrage of the blacks, and this, probably added to their desire to keep down the South for their own interests, makes them so loud and vehement in insisting upon the perfect political equality of the two races. It remains to be seen whether the great body of the American people will submit to see the fundamental principle of their constitution thus overridden by a violent and self-seeking fac tion, and how far the PRESIDENT, who is certainly capable of better things, will yield to their clamour. In the interests of right and justice it is to be hoped that. they will be arrested in their course, while, as a matter of national policy, their rashness is at once apparent. It is impossible for a professedly free nation to keep down six millions of their countrymen by force of arms, and if the embers of discontent and injured feeling are left smouldering there will be a magazine full of danger in the very heart of the Union, to which a foreign enemy need only apply a torch to rekindle a conflagration that shall lay the whole fabric in ruins. The opening of the Federal Congress, on the 4th of December, was an event which excited the deepest interest throughout the States. After a great constitutional struggle, no matter for what end, after even a severe political campaign, the first meeting of the popular Representatives, when quiet is restored, is always an important and eventful matter. How much more so is it then when, after so long and momentous a crisis, after years, when every other consideration was secondary to the necessities of the war, the American Congress once more assembles to deliberate only on matters of internal legislation and of social reform. The calm, however, is only superficial, for many a battle must be fought in the political arena before any thing like confidence or prosperity can be restored to the people ; that is to say, if we may judge from the reckless and intemperate conduct of the Repub lican party on the opening. The first grea t ques tion which presented itself for settlement was a momentous one, being no other than the right of the Southern States to representation in Congress. Unfortunately this inevitably came up on the very first day, on the reading of the roll of members, and the Radical party, who had carefully laid their plans, carried the disputed point by a coup de inain. At the formal meeting of the House of Representatives on Monday, the 4th, Mr. EDWARD MiPHERsoN, the old Clerk of the House, proceeded in due form to read the roll of members elect in alphabetical order by States. It was very soon evident that the exclusion of the Southern States was decided upon by the Radicals, for the roll began at California, with the ominous omission of Alabama and Arkansas. The same order was fol lowed throughout, and an impartial observer, if any such were present, might have smiled, remembering the fierce denunciations of American patriots against the tyranny of Emperors and Kings, the eloquent declamation respecting the rights of the down-trodden peoples of Europ to full and free representation, when he listened to the reading of the roll of members, a.:.d found that Alabama, Arkansas,Florida, Geor„ia, Louibigta, LA TEST INTELLIGENCE.

The mail steamship Cambrian arrived here to night with 91 passengers, including Colonel White, R.E., and family. The mails were landed and for warded by special train to Bristol, to leave there early on Tuesday morning for London and the North. The Cambrian left the Cape on the 14th ult., St. Helena on the 22d, and Ascension on the 26th. At the Cape the Basuto war continued, and was likely to last, through the confirmed cowardice of both belligerents.. Another engagement took place between them on the 25th of October, resulting in the death of 40 Basutos, and the capture of 7,000 oxen and several thousand sheep and horses. After the engagement the Free State and the Transvaal Boers quarrelled about the booty captured. The Transvaallers left the allied camp, and returned to their homes on October 30. Eleven of the Cape Corps had deserted from the camp at Drakensberg, and were gone to the Free State, taking with them their horses and accoutre ments. The deserters met with a hearty reception from the people of Harrinnuth. The Basutos had published a manifesto charging the Boers with publishing false statements as to their successes, and declaring that the Basuto army had not been in any way imperilled, also charging the Boers with barbarity in killing women and children. Another Basuto raid on British territory was alleged to have been made. Measures were being continued to provide for the unemployed in the colony. Trade was but little improved. The importation of sheep to the Cape was strictly prohibited, through fear of the cattle disease. Preparations were being made at Natal to receive Dr. Colenso. A congratulatory address to him had been signed by 130 persons of all denominations and shades of belief. The Saxon arrived out on the 13th November. ADDRESS TO DR. COLENSO. PLY3IOUTH 7 Dec. 19. The following is the text of the Address to be pre sented to Dr. Colenso upon his arrival at Natal : " My Lord,—lt is with singular pleasure that we hail your return to Natal after an absence of three years, during which period your lordship has been engaged in the arduous task of combating ancient prejudices and loosening the tenacious hold of mediaeval traditions. " We heartily congratulate you on the successful result of your sojourn in England, and that you have added one more name to the illustrious cata logue of those who, without fear and with single ness of heart and honesty of purpose, have main tained the inalienabie right of all men to exercise their own mental powers and freely investigate all subjects, whether scientific or religious. " Let us hope, my lord, that although your re turn may be threatened by the powers of that dark ness you have happily assisted to disperse in the mother country, it will be the harbinger of a new era in the land of our adoption, and that your example, both moral and intellectual, may impel us onward in the fulfilment of our mission.—We have the honour to be, your lordship's obedient, humble servants." (Here follow 130 signatures, and the number is daily increasing.) The Bishops of Cape Town, Graham's Town, and the Free State bad publicly pronounced that to join the communion of Dr. Colenso would be to separate from the communion of the Church of England, and recommended that the clergy should elect another Bishop, the choice to be approved by the faithful laity. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left town yesterday for Hawarden Castle.

OPENING OF THE HUNGABIAN DIET, SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR. PESTII, Dec. 14. Yesterday, as the day succeeding his Majesty's arrival in this capital, was chiefly devoted to the reception of the authorities and various deputa- To a deputation from the City of Pesth, consist ing of 40 members, partly officials, partly deputies of the capital elected in 1861, his Majesty replied: " I am glad of the opportunity to tell you, the re- prest.ntatives of the city of Pesth, how rejoiced I _ _ am to have been able recently to convince myself of your loyal sentiments." The Emperor continued in German : "It is very agreeable to my paternal heart to convince myself of your fidelity here in the heart of the country. I consider it a favourable prognostic for the future, that, amid so much patriotic enthusiasm, you have so well understood how to maintain order, coupled with seriousness and calm. lam the more rejoiced at this, as I hope that, pending the duration of this highly important Diet, upon which the future of the nation and of the country, indeed of the whole monarchy, de pends, you will maintain a similar line of conduct, and thereby give a helping hand to the solution of existing difficulties." After the presentation of the members of the deputation, his Majesty was about to withdraw amid the cheers of those assembled, when he turned back at the door, and said in Hun- garian : " I shall shortly come among you with the Empress, and confidently hope that we shall then experience the same hearty and loyal reception as Shortly after two p.m. the Emperor left the Castle on horseback in a marshal's uniform, and, !ollowed by a brilliant suite, held a review of the garrison of Buda-Pesth upon the Generalwiese. His reception by the crowds of spectators was ex tremely good. A Court dinner was given in the Castle at five, attended by the officers in garrison, the Ilungarian Ministers, and the chief notabilities of the Diet. At seven in the evening the Emperor and suite visited the National Theatre. All the streets through which the Imperial carriages passed _ _ were filled with dense crowds, which cheered loudly as the cortege went by. _ _ . The solemn opening of the Hungarian Diet took place this morning in the Castle of Buda, in the presence of about GOO magnates and deputies. The Emperor, who wore the uniform of an Hungarian to harmonise with the conditions of life of the entire monarchy. general, read the following speech in a firm voice : " While we welcome with sincere joy the Estates and Representatives of our beloved kingdom of Hungary assembled in parliament, we announce to you at the same time the intention which has brought us amongst you with that frank candour which forms the indispensable condition of confi dence between monarch and people. " We came to complete what we began in the persuasion of our duty as a ruler. Our object is, by our personal intervention, and therefore the more successfully, to remove those obstacles and set aside those hindrances which have hitherto opposed the solution of the pending political questions. " Among those we place in the first rank the plain contradiction that lay in the various points of de parture of the intended understanding. Distortion of right upon the one hand, and stubborn continuity of right upon the other, could lead to no agree ment. " In close, indeed in indivisible connection with the 'settlement of this question, is the revision, or probably the transformation, of that part of the laws of 1848 referring to the operation of our rights as ruler, and to the limitation of the attributes of the Government. Things which are closely connected, and which exercise a reciprocal influence, cannot be Separated in practical realisation. Considered with reference to the position of our realm as a great Power, to the undiminished exercise of our rights as ruler, and to the well-founded claims of the adjacent countries, the unchanged putting in force of these laws does not lie within the bounds of possibility. Although, therefore, no objection can be raised to their legality in point of form, our duty as regent, and conscientious regard for the protection to be extended equally to all peoples of the realm, forbid us to promise by our Royal inaugural oath the maintenance and application of these laws prior to the simultaneous settlement of the relations of reciprocal rights and duties. It is thus necessary that the clauses of these laws—which either limit our rights as ruler, or refer to the alte ration of the form of government, without bringing either into accord with the conditions of the exist ence of the monarchy and with the internal institu tions of the country based upon ancient foundations —should be carefully examined, and modified as may be found advisable. " In this manner it will be rendered possible that we also with a quiet conscience may take our royal inaugural oath to the Hungarian constitution modi fied in accordance with the times, and permanently established for remote posterity. Thus we shall be able to receive the crown of St. Stephen, our apos tolic predecessor, that sacred crown in which it is our desire to set the welfare of our kingdom of Hun gary and the uninterrupted affection of its people as our most precious jewels. " As crowned King we shall not fail in commu nicating to the Estates and representatives in Parlia ment assembled our royal propositions with regard to numerous other matters in addition to those mea sures we have already laid before the Diet convoked on the 2d April, 1861. These are subjects affecting moral and material interests in the most comprehen sive degree, and whose successful settlement could hardly be exposed to further delay without serious disadvantage to the country. " The will of Divine Providence has marked out " We now ourselves set aside the obstacle of selecting a commonly recognised basis of right as our point of departure, that of the Pragmatic Sanc tion. " While this state fundamental law has guaran teed the independence of the home right and the administration of the kingdom of Hungary and its adjacent countries, it at the same time upheld the ever inseparable and indivisible tie of the kingdoms and countries under the rule of our house, and therewith their entirety.as a great Power. Equally, for us great and difficult tasks. Not less serious, and looking at the suspension of constitutional life in a great portion of our realm, not less pregnant with grave responsibility, is the task of this country. But they are not impossible of ac complishment if the country, in conjunction with its monarch, and following the traditions of our ancestors, takes them in hand with self-denial and readiness to make sacrifices. "We hope this the more because the country by lending strength and weight gains those qua lities itself, by coming forward to remove the difficulties raises itself, by guaranteeing the exist ence of the whole preserves its own existence ; and if, after an arduous epoch, we should succeed, with the assistance of this country, in carrying our realm happily through the critical events of a difficult position to the desired end, we shall bless the moment that ripened our determination to revive and permanently cement confidence between ruler and people. " With confident assurance we look forward to the frank representation of the views of the as sembled Estates and representatives of the coun try, and while we now solemnly declare the Diet of our kingdom of Hungary open, we close with the fervent prayer that we may be permitted, with God's help, to bring the great work of reconcilia tion, with the content of all our peoples, to a prosperous end." His Majesty's speech was received with extreme enthusiasm, and repeatedly interrupted by cheers lasting several minutes. therefore, as we find therein the necessary and legal limitation of that independence, so do we also re cognise the rights of the same within these limits without any reserve. "In the same way we wish to uphold undimi nished those clauses of the Pragmatic Sanction re- ferring to the integrity of the Hungarian Crown and although we are obliged to take into account the events of recent years we have directed our paternal care towards rendering possible the re presentation of the lands belonging to our Hungarian Crown at this present Diet. " For this purpose we have convoked the Diet of our Grand Principality of Transylvania, in order that it may subject Article 1 of 1848 respecting the union of Hungary with Transylvania to serious and earnest consideration, and we now also call upon the Estates and representatives of our kingdom of Hungary in Parliament assembled to take a similar course with regard to Article 7 of 1847-48, in order that this question may not meet with an apparent and dubious solution, according to the mere letter of the law, but may by their confiding agreement encounter lasting and permanent settlement in harmony with all the elements conducive to life and strength. " In the same manner we have desired the assem bled Diets of the kingdoms of Croatia and Slavonia to see in due time that the same be fittingly repre sented at this Diet, and while we communicate the resolution of the Croatian Diet, passed in 1861, and affecting the relation of Croatia to our kingdom of Hungary, we feel assured that agreement as to the relations of right of the kindred nations, united for centuries, will be established in the way of mutual concession, and in the spirit of that fair method of view to which the Estates and representatives of the kingdom of Hungary in Parliament assembled, gave in this respect unequivocal expression in their ad dress upon July 6, 1861. "As the first labour of this Diet we must charac terise the method of the treatment of affairs common to all our kingdoms and countries. The existence of such affairs finds its basis in the spirit of the Pragmatic Sanction, even if greatly altered circum stances demand considerable change with respect to the nature of their treatment. " The transformation of the political, commer cial, and social elements which has in the meantime taken place occasioned us, in the conviction of our high mission, to grant our remaining kingdoms and countries constitutional rights ; and the affairs com mon to all the countries have therefore, in future, only to be treated with the constitutional co-opera tion of those kingdoms and countries. " These were the motives which actuated us when we issued our diploma of Oct. 20, 1860, and we are still firmly convinced that the common constitutional treatment of the affairs characterised as common in that document forms an unavoidable requirement of the united existence and position of our realm as a great Power, to which every other consideration ought to be subordinate. " Regarding the method of this treatment we have laid down a form in our patent of February 26, 1861, which, however, has encountered various and im portant hesitation. Being, therefore, unable to exclude the conviction that this question is not to be finally and permanently solved with the weapons of material moral pressure, but only by the course of general understanding and the recognition of necessity, we have, by our manifesto of September 20th last, temporarily suspended the operation of the statute as to the representation of the realm, and now lay before the Estates and representatives of the kingdom of Hungary, in Parliament assem bled, our diploma of Oct. 20, 1860, with the patent of Feb. 26, 1861, for mature consideration, serious discussion, and acceptance. " The well-understood interests of our kingdom of Hungary, equally with the welfare and security of our entire realm, require the speediest possible settlement of this matter, in order that the consti tutional rights of the various kingdoms and coun tries of our empire may be permanently assured by the intimate union of all our peoples, may develope themselves upon a firmer basis, and rejoice in fruit ful prosperity. " We expect, therefore, from the Estates and representatives of our kingdom of Hungary that you will submit the measures laid before you to an ex haustive examination in a spirit of mutual conces sion, and in case the objections entertained towards them appear invincible, that you will only propose to us such modifications of the same as can be made FRANCE.

Sutton, known as the Swan's Nest Hotel, situate in the above-named narrow thoroughfare. The inmates at once gave the necessary alarm, and in the course of a few minutes Conductors Low and Perryman attended with two of the Royal Society's escapes—one from the Royal Exchange, and the other from Finsbury. Plenty of the New River Company's water having been , procured, the fire-escape men went to work, and they were enabled to keep the fire at bay pending the arrival of other assistance. Several hand and steam fire-engines were also soon in attendance, but we are happy to say that, although the alarm was great throughout the neighbourhood, the assistants pre sent were enabled to extinguish the fire without the aid of the fire-engines. Considerable damage has, however, been done to the beds, furniture, clothing, &c., by fire and water, but not to the extent of re tarding in the least degree the business of the esta blishment. The origin of the fire is unknown. The sufferer was 'Stated to hay() been insured. The Fenian Prosecutions. CORK, Monday Night. At the sitting of the Court this morning two pri soners, Dillon and Lynch, were arraigned. Judge Fitzgerald contradicted the report that M'Afferty was acquitted because he was an alien and owed no allegiance to the Queen. The judges wished it to be known that aliens once in the king dom might be liable for a charge of treason. The Grand Jury returned true bills against Thos. Duggan, Jeremiah O'Donovan, John Casey, James Mountaine, and Alexander Nichols. Warner, the approver, was examined after the Attorney-General's address. He proved that the prisoners Dillon and Lynch were present at drill at several places. Five hundred persons were present at some of them. The case for the Crown closed after the exami nation of some other witnesses, amongst them two more approvers. The evidence for the prosecution was strong. The defence will be entered on to-morrow morn ing. THE ESCAPE OF STEPHENS. On Saturday the Board of Superintendence of the Dublin City Prisons received the following com munication from the Lord Lieutenant, informing them of the dismissal of Mr. Marquess, the gover nor of Richmond Prison : "Dublin Castle, Dec. 15, 1865. " Sir, —Referring to the resolution of the Board of Super intendence of the City of Dublin Prisons, passed on the 11th inst., requesting an investigation into the circumstances connected with the escape of James Stephens from the Richmond Bridewell, I am directed by the Lord Lieu tenant to acquaint you, for the information of the board that the inspectors-general of prisons, having already held an inquiry ou oath, in virtue of the power conferred upon them by law, and reported to his Excellency the result o their inquiries, he cannot accede to the application in ques tion. lam to add that, in accordance with the recommen dation of the inspectors-general, his Excellency has directed that Mr. Marquess shall be dismissed from his office of go vernor of Richmond Bridewell, and that his Excellency has determined henceforth to exercise the right vested in the Lord Lieutenant by statute of appointing directly the in terior officers of the two Dublin prisons.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " THOS.

WINDSOR CASTLE, Dec. 18. Her Majesty the Queen, with their Royal High nesses Princess Helena, Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, Prince Leopold, and Princess Hohenloe, left the Castle this morning at a quarter past ten o'clock for Osborne. The suite consisted of Lady Churchill, Lady Caro line Barrington, the Hon. Mary Lascelles, Major- General the Hon. A. N. Hood, Lieutenant-Colon el Du Plat, Mr. Buff, Mr. Sahl, and the Master of the Household. Lady Churchill has succeeded the Countess of Caledon as Lady in Waiting to the Queen. Departure of her Majesty for Osborne. Yesterday morning the Queen, with their Royal Highnesses Princesses Helena, Louise, and Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, attended by Major-General Hood, Colonel Du Plat, Sir T. M. Biddulph, Lady Churchill, and the Hon. Misses Kerr and Lascelles, left Windsor Castle at a quarter past ten o'clock for Osborne. Her Majesty and the various members of the royal family, who, with the ladies and gentlemen of the quite, were attired in deep mourning for his late Majesty the King of the Belgians, drove from the Castle to the Windsor Station of the Great Wes tern Railway, where the South-Western Railway Company had forwarded a special train for the con veyance of the Court. The Queen, on alighting, was received by those , in attendance, and very graciously returned the lop. , salutes of the bystanders on passing to the state saloon. The rest of the royal family then took their seats in the train. The train, in charge of Messrs. Grierson, Tyrrell, and Besant, quitted the Windsor terminus at 10.23 a.m., and proceeded along the narrow gauge rails of the Great Western Railway, by way of Slough and Reading, to the Basingstoke Junction of the South Western line, where her Majesty arrived at 11. 30. The train was then transferred to the care of Mr. W. Godson, the traffic superintendent of the latter line, who had arrived at Basingstoke from Nine elms, for the purpose of taking charge of it t ° Gosport. As soon as the engines were changed the route was resumed along the South-Western Rail" way via Winchester, Bishopstoke, Botley, and Fare ham, to the Royal Victualling-yard at Gosport, which was made at 12.40 p.m. precisely, the triP from Windsor, about 80 miles, being accomplishe d with ease and celerity in two hours and 17 minutes. The train, on its arrival at the Gosport Station, proceeded slowly into the Clarence Victualling' yard: The special paused by the side of the private station, near the wharf, and her Majesty and the royal family then left the train, and were met by several officers, among whom were Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, the admiral of the port ; Si r George Buller, the general commanding the South western district ; Capt. Shadwell, superintenden t of the Clarence-yard ; 'and Capt. Scott, of her Majesty's ship Victory. At the time of the Queen's arrival at the port the tide was rather high, and the royal yacht Alberta) Commander his Serene Highness Prince Leiningen, was consequently moored by the side of the wharf ready for embarkation. Escorted by the naval and military officers of the port, who were all in full uniform, her Majesty and the royal family walked along the covered way to the afterdeck of the yacht. The Alberta steamed through the harbour on her way to Osborne, where the Queen and royal family arrived early in the afternoon. His Majesty, it is understood, will reside at 05" borne for a period of about nine weeks, and it 1. 5 expected that on the occasion of the Sovereign open" ing Parliament in person Oh the Ist of February the Queen will on that day leave Osborne for town, and after the performance of the ceremony return immediately to the Isle of Wight.

THE CONCORDIA SOCIETY.—Under this title 5 new musical society is about to be established, fsv the production of the masterpieces of unperformed mast erl- The effort is entirely artistic. No officer will receive par ment of any kind ; so that the whole of the resources, WI whatever source, will be appropriated to the advancenic e of musical knowledge. Such an institution is gr eetil needed, and we sincerely hope the society, when fsirli launched, will succeed in becoming firmly established., TRUE CARICATURE always exaggerates no cletlijv.; but the slighter the touch of exaggeration, so that 1 answer the purpose, the more complete is the caricaturei When Mr. Pecksniff's piety is to be car icatur e. Dickens manages it entirely by the calmness and nOet,,e; ness of his particularity in alluding to ordinary dein c ia ticities, while still supposed to be at once smarting "a n t a sense of injury, and overcoming it by an effort of g re w ° Christian forgiveness. " Charity, my dear, when yal g - f ° me my bed candlestick to-night, remind me t o Joel ‘,„a Mr. Jonas Chuzzlewit, who has done me an injury ;" : the bed candlestick is just the touch of exaggeration whi-11 so makes this sentence caricature.

So, again, the caricature of his candour, W Di he is beaten by Mr. Athony Chuzzlewit, is effects - all a similar delicacy of touch—" You have beaten M e t: stick which I have every reason to believe ha d kuc")::ot it; but I am not angry." He will not even assert the fael la po takes care to make it clear that he is only inferring (P er to io errone ously) to the conformation of the stick from C o urse indentations which he had felt, or supposed himself to _to felt, in his flesh during the beating. The "ev er y reason the r b e li eve " is here the touch of exaggeration essential oi7r, caricature.
