LONDON, SATURDAY, NO 9, 1867. We may now fairly believe that the chief diffi culty is over in Italy, and that all which remains to be done is to take up the thread of affairs which was dropped on the late outbreak, and endeavour to readjust the position of things. This, though by no means an easy task, is yet incomparably pre ferable to what threatened us a little while ago, and therefore the comparative advantage is great. One point which has been rather overlooked during the recent discussions and deliberations on the sub ject is that the Italian people have conducted them selves in an admirable manner. There has been little or no collusion between them and the Garibaldians ; yet they have had to face great difficulties, and have been placed in very trying circumstances. What with the temptation they had to join with one who deservedly commanded admiration, with the inac tivity and indecision of their own Government, and the irritation naturally produced by the intervention of a foreign Power, it would, indeed, have been no wonder if they had been led away to compromise themselves in a conspicuous manner, and to plunge into excess from which extrication would have been difficult,:if not well-nigh impossible. This reticence andself-command deserve recognition, and we would say, in considering the circumstances of the case, that the merit of quelling the disturbances and re storing order must not be given altogether to the French or the Italian Government ; but the Italians must have some share of it given to them, for their influence has been indirect, if not direct, and that was of great consequence, if not immediately in fluential or so apparent. It shows besides that we have more security for the future, because the re marks that have been made on the uncertain condi tion of the public mind in Italy have not been ful filled in any respect. The Italians, as a whole, evidently desire peace, and have sufficient discern ment to see that their best chance lies in the main tenance of order. The remembrance of vexatious events and disturbing occurrences never passes away in the history of countries, and when the Parlia ment meets there will be plenty to excite hope as well as to call up regrets and remonstrances. The policy of the country is ever pointing onwards to the future, and it will not do to waste too much time and energy in discussing lost chances and buried expectations. It is quite evident that the Emperor NAPOLEON will be only too glad to be rid of the task now imposed upon him of directing Italian affairs, and if he could find an honourable means of retire ment he would do so. There is no reason what ever why some better arrangement should not he made than that which was effected in the Sep tember Convention. With good faith and with earnest endeavours there will be no cause to fear an unfavourable result. The Emperor NAPOLEON has been so harshly criticised in many quarters that it seems but fair to see what can be said on his behalf, and in rendering common justice to him we would observe that he was placed in a very difficult position, and in one that called for instant decision. At the same time he had the conviction that he had to make the right choice or the consequences. would be fatal to his policy. The event has justified his wisdom. No doubt it was a dangerous thing which he did, but even if he had failed he would have had the satisfaction of knowing that he had carried out his engagements, and fulfilled the stipulations agreed upon by him and Italy. The position of things regarding the September Convention was not changed with the fact that the terms of that Convention did not work so well in practice as in theory ; and we would emphatically remark that, as a man of honour, he could not have done otherwise than send his troops to the assistance of the POPE, though by so doing he might perhaps have been the advocate of a policy which did not strengthen him as the ally of Italy, or render him popular as the Emperor of the FRENCH. It should be borne in mind, now that the immediate excite ment is over, that the attack so deliberately planned and determinedly carried out by GARIBALDI and his friends was a direct provocation, if not a studied insult, to the Emperor NAPOLEON, and he cannot be blamed for taking it as such. The means which he employed to' effect his purpose cannot be called too arbitraryby those who understood the real situa tion of affairs. Let all parties then combine to make the best of things, and not confuse themselves or each other by attempting to perform more than it is possible for them to do. With courage and perse verance we have no fear that Italy may be rendered more safe from disturbances than before. The high prices of provisions throughout the metropolis continues to excite a good deal of dis cussion, and, what is better, the discussion seems likely to lead to practical results. It is certainly producing an evident effect upon many of the trades. men, who are issuing indignant disclaimers of the charges brought against them. A round robin has just been published by some twenty tradesmen at the West-end, giving the average prices they have paid for the best beef during the last twelvemonth. The price of mutton they do not give, but they admit it to be lower. It is not a little singular, however, that, according to this statement, whole sale dealers are paying at the rate of Bd., 9d., and 10d. per pound for meat. As we know they do not buy their meat in pounds, but in stones and quarters and carcases, we should suspect that without any unfair intention these tradesmen have been making their calculation after taking off their losses and drawbacks from various causes. When meat is sold at such different prices to retail customers in Newgate market, and that, too, meat of an excel lent quality, it is a remarkable fact that butchers can make no better bargain ! It is only natural that the tradesmen should try to make the best of their case, and it is perhaps not unnatural in the present style of living that they should try to profit as much as they can out of the necessities of their customers. It behoves each to look out for himself and his own interests. There is one very remark able fact which tells against the logic of the but chers. It is that the bold speculators, who, profit ing by the public discontent with the ordinary dealers, go to the market, buy sheep, have them slaughtered, and sell them at considerably reduced prices, declare they can make a fair profit by so doing. An enterprising grocer at Abergavenny has just made an experiment of the kind, and after selling the best joints to his townsmen at Gd. per lb., declares himself satisfied with the commercial result of the transaction, the best proof of this being that he means to continue so doing. Now, how is it that a grocer can profit by an exceptional purchase of this kind, wher., according to the regular dealers, they find it impossible to lower their exorbitant charges without loss ? Particular dealers may charge particular prices to customers who are exacting in their demands, and who have no confidence in anything unless they pay three times the value for it, but that is no reason why the great bulk of customers should be paying to retail tradesmen half as much again as they pay at the wholesale markets. Paterfamilias has begun to find this out, and the result of his discovery has been that he has organised a system of supply, either from the city markets or from country dealers, finding that, after all the expense of transit is deducted, he saves a considerable sum. The butchers have begun to find this out, and have, for the most part, made a reduction in their prices. But we can have little confidence that they will improve, unless some check is kept upon them. As soon as the public attention is diverted, and their customers have left off scrutinis ing their weekly or quarterly accounts quite so closely they will by degrees encroach again. They may not, indeed, go back quite to the old cattle plague prices, but we may depend upon it they will have more than a fair margin between the whole sale and retail price. As for the argument that the traders have not the expense of carriage to consider, we must remind their defenders that their customers each paying individually—the dearest way—find that the cost of carriage still leaves them a saving of 2d. or 3d. per lb. We hope that competition will be kept actively up, that the heads of large households will continue to obtain their domestic supplies as much as possible whole sale. We find, too, that there is some talk of open ing large meal stores in different parts of the metro polis for the convenience of purchasers, where meat will be sold at reasonable rates. This movement will be very useful in keeping down prices, and we hope will meet with due encouragement. There is another branch of the question, too, which is of great importance to the poorer classes . Reduce prices as we may, English and continental beef and mutton will always be out of the reach of a very wide class of the population, who are forced to live in poor and yet extravagant fashion on less nourishing and wholesome food. The working man exhausted by hard and unremitting labour, his wife worn out with toil and care, his children often feeble and enervated by living in crowded and unhealthy dwellings, are the very ones whom good meat food would benefit most largely. Meat, even at 6d. per lb., is out of their reach, but while fine sheep and oxen are being slaughtered by the thousand for their fat and hides in one part of the world it seems hard that supply and demand cannot be better adjusted. If a little care and pains be taken in devising the best means of packing and preserving South American beef and Australian mutton, there can be no reason why a large and profitable trade should not be opened. Some enter prising traders can surely be found who will be willing to embark some capital and make some exertion in establishing it. There can be no doubt that when the first prejudice is over the speculation would very soon yield a large profit. The specimens hitherto sent to England have not been the most favourable, though in many instances persons THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1867 accustomed to fresh meat have declared themselves well satisfied. The art of preserving food has reached so much perfection that various commodi ties are sent on shipboard for a two or three years' voyage. The trip from Australia to England would not take more than three months, and this surely should offer no insuperable obstacles. We have Australian herrings—why not Australian mutton ? It may be urged that, in any case, such meat would not, in taste and succulent qualities, rival fresh meat. This must be granted ; but to the large classes to whom bacon or salt pork is a rare luxury such meat, if obtainable at half the price of good bacon, would be an inestimable boon. We hope that one result of the present agitation will be the establishment of a regular trade of the importation of preserved meat. It is more satisfactory than ever to turn to the affairs of Austria, and the popularity which the Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH now so deservedly en joys WAS fully manifested in the reception he met with on his return from Paris. He was received at the railway-station by an important assembly, comprising members of both Houses of the Reichs rath, the Burgomaster and civil authorities, and the chief civil and military authorities of the capital. In reply to an address from the Burgomaster, his MAJESTY made some impressive remarks, declaring he thanked them for his cordial welcome, and that the sympathies he encountered in France were based upon the conviction, that " by unity at home Austria will reassume with renewed strength that station to which she is entitled . ; and that the object for which they are bound to strive peacefully is the strengthening of the country.' We fully concur in the justice of these remarks, and trust that time will show more completely and effec tually than it has yet done the success of the policy of progress in which the EMPEROR has engaged, and in which he deserves to meet with all support and encouragement. He desires the assistance of all patriotic Austrians, and that should not fail him on any account, for the present is a most critical period in the history of the country, and a chance now thrown away may not easily be recovered further on, while the reverse is true, since the opportuni ties that are now made the most of will hereafter prove to be most happy in their effects. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The news from Italy emanating from authentic sources is satisfactory, although alarming reports are not deficient. In Rome and other large cities perfect tranquility prevails, although some important manifestations have taken place at Milan and Pavia. These disturbances are said to have been organised by the partisans of Mazzini and some secret societies. Some arrests had been made, and, according to the latest accounts, tranquillity had been restored in all the places where insurrectionary manifestations had taken place. The Emperor of Austria was received at Munich by King Louis 11. Their Majesties went in state to the theatre. The Emperor reached Vienna on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. An immense number of people were assembled at the station, and acclamations accompanied him on all sides until he reached the Palace of La Burg. The beautiful new Church of the Trinity, oppo site the Chaussee d'Antin, one of the prominent ornaments of Paris, was consecrated yesterday with much pomp and ceremony, in the presence of the municipal authorities and many persons of note. The architect having formally delivered up the church to the Archbishop of Paris, the venerable prelate made some appropriate observations. Ile expressed his gratitude at the reception of the edifice to be devoted to Catholic worship. The Archbishop then thanked the Prefect of the Seine for the intelligence he displayed in administering the affairs of the city, and for the zeal he exhibited in re gard to public edifices. Iu conelu,ion the Archbishop said : " I am happy to be able to offer to my country, in the name of the clergy of Paris, the assurance of the most devoted co-operation, all ready as we are to fulfil with generous ardour our duty as citizens, and, if it should ever be necessary, to sacrifice our lives for our religious convictions." The Arch bishop then mounted the pulpit and preached a most impressive sermon. The Journal des Mats has an important article, calculated to dissipate the alarmist rumours circu lated in some quarters. It says---" The news which we receive to-day is of a pacific character. From Berlin and from Dresden information has been re ceived confirming the authenticity of the circular in which M. Beust announces to the represen tatives of Austria and foreign countries the establishment of accord between the Cabinets of Vienna and Faris. France and Austria hlve . agreed not to oppose the develop ment of .the Confederation of the North, confident in the wisdom of Prussia and the States of the South. The Prussian Government, it is added, will assist in endeavouring to maintain peace in Italy." There is strange confusion in regard to the num ber of men engaged in the battle near Monte Ro tondo. The Italian despatches speak of 12,000 Pontifical against 3,000 Garib a ldi ans . Th e Gazette de p rFranceo s a estimates the Pontifi ca l t roops a t 4,000 and the Garibaldians at 7,000. In the news troops from Rome, published in the Moniteur, Garibaldi is said to have had no less than 10,000 men under his command. I learn in a well-informed quarter that the Go vernment, believing that the Italian question has assumed a safe and satisfactory phase, intends shortly to recall the French troops from Italy. In France, as in England, some discontent pre vails in consequence of the dearness of bread and provisions generally, but this discontent is by no means of such a serious character as it has assumed in the west of England. A month ago I told you that the successive increase in the price of bread was beginning to give serious apprehension. The aspect of the workmen in the Faubourg St. Martin put the police on the alert, but_ there was no disturb ance. The heavy excise dtitk is complained of. The goods of a manufacturer at Grenelle, M. Dubois Caplain, was seized for duty upon coals consumed in his manufactory. The articles sold produced 1,700 f., the sum demanded, but they were bought by an association of co-operative workmen, who, in order to display their sympathy with the opposition to the duty manifested by M. Caplain, presented to him all the articles which had been sold, as a testi mony of "their gratitude for the struggle which he had made in behalf of the Parisian manufacturers and workmen." Some fishermen have drawn up in their net from the sea near Port Louis, in the department of Illorbhan, a Roman amphore, a yard and a half high, and about three-quarters of a yard in diameter. It is of very elegant form and exquisite workmanship. It is supposed to have been in the sea for 2,000 years, but learned and scientific men differ upon this point. A clever trick has been played upon a young musician, who wished to purchase a violin, which he saw at a broker's shop. It was in a bad condi tion, but he knew it was a good article. The broker asked 15f., but the musician said he would only give 6f., which sum being refused he left the shop. He had only proceeded a short distance, however, when a man who had heard the conversa tion in the shop ran after him, and said he was a partner and would take 6f. The money was given, on the understanding that the man would bring him the violin while he waited. He waited for some time, and then went back to the shop, when he discovered that he had been swindled. Another extraordinary change of weather. There was heavy frost in the fields, and ice in some places early this morning, but at one o'clock this afternoon the sun was as warm as in summer. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

His Majesty was received at the railway station by the chief civil and military authorities of the capital, deputations from both Houses of the Reiehsratb, and by the burgomaster and common councillors. The Burgomaster addressed his Majesty in a lengthy speech, laying especial stress upon the statement that the words spoken by the Emperor in Paris had been meat joyfully re-echoed throughont the entire Austrian empire, for it was only by peace at home and abroad, and under the protection ; ef liberal and popular laws, that the happiness of Aus tria could be secured. • He expressed the pleasure of Austria at the brilliant reception given to his Majesty in Paris, and the delight with which the people hailed the return of a Sovereign who respected and protected popular rights. lie con cluded by calling for three cheers for the Emperor. His Majesty replied—" I thank you much for the hearty reception the inhabitants of the capital have prepared for me. The sympathies I encountered everywhere in France were mainly based upon the conviction that, by unity at home, Austria will re assume with renewed strength that station to which she is entitled, and that the object for which we are thereforebound tostrive peacefully is thestrengthen ing of the country. These manifestations can only encourage me to step boldly forward in the course already entered upon, and in so doing I count upon the support of all patriotic Austrians." The Emperor's speech was received with enthu siastic applause. His Majesty drove to the Hof burg in an open carriage, through gaily-decorated and crowded streets, and amidst continuous cheers.

The procession of the new Lord Mayor from the Guildhall to the Court of Exchequer at Westmin ster to-day, although shorn of valiant knights armed cap-a-pie and their attendant squires, the banners of the City companies, the scarlet-coated watermen, and, above all, the City State coach ! seemed quite sufficient for the purpose of giving importance to the opening official act of the Right Hon. T. F. Allen, Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. In place of the usual " Programme," the following was the order of the civic cortege, which left the Guildhall at two o'clock as follows :—Mounted police ; the band of the Horse Guards (mounted) ; the two under-sheriffs ; the officers of the corpora tion of London ; Mr. Sheriff M'Arthur in his state chariot, attended by his chaplain ; Mr. Sheriff Stone in his state chariot, attended by his chaplain; the aldermen who have not passed the chair ; the Recorder ; the aldermen who have passed the chair ; the late Lord Mayor ; four trumpeters ; the Lord Mayor's servants in state liveries ; the City Marshal on horseback ; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in his state carriage, attended by the chaplain, sword bearer, and common crier. Economy seemed to have reigned paramount on the present occasion. Not only have the number of guests to the banquet at the Guildhall been cur tailed, but the pasteboard upon which the tickets to the " feed" are printed has been reduced to one quarter the size, so that by the judicious arrange ments of the entertainment committee four tickets have been printed on the material formerly con sumed in the production of one. The result of the novel introductions have yet to be ascertained, but at the present time the feeling in certain quarters is anything but satisfactory. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. His Lordship having accomplished the journey from Guildhall to Westminster, alighted from his carriage at the entrance to the Hall, and proceeded direct to the Court of chequer, where, attended by the Recorder and the other civic functionaries, his lordship took his place in the space reserved for the Queen's coun sel, viz., the row of stalls directly in front of the judges. The Lord Chief Baron with the other Judges of the Court having taken their seats, The Recorder introduced the new Lord Mayor, and related to their lordships in glowing language the successful career that Alderman Allen had pur sued in the city of London, which had culminated in his being chosen its Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The Lord Chief Baron complimented his Lord ship on the dignity to which he had arrived, and expressed an opinion that the rights and liber ties of the City might safely be left in the care of one who had so greatly distinguished himself, and which at the same time had secured the confidence of his fellow citizens. His lordship then complimented the late Lord Mayor for the manner in which he had filled his year of office. The old formalities having been gone through, and the late Lord Mayor having been admonished to conduct himself properly whilst giving an ac count of his mayoralty, the civic procession quitted the Court, the Recorder having previously invited the Lord Chief Baron and the other Judges to the banquet this evening. After passing through the other courts and giving a similar invitation to the judges, his Lordship re turned to the City. EARL RUSSELL AND THE OPPOSITION.--A par liamentary dinner of Opposition members of the House of Peers will shortly take place, under the Presidency of Earl Russell. The noble earl has already issued cards for the meeting. This step may be taken as signifying that Lord Russell has no intention of abdicating his functions as elador of the Opposition—at least for the prosent. Metropolitan Board of Works. The members of the Metropolitan Board of Works met yesterday at their offices in Spring gardens, Sir John Thwaites in the chair. FINANCE. The Finance Committee brought forward their cash statement, which showed the following cash balances in the hands of the treasurer up to the 4th inst., viz.:—ln the London and Westminster Bank, to sundry accounts, £349,159 is. ; in the Bank of England £166,929 3s. 3d. ; t0ta1,£516,088 4s. 3d.; Cheques not presented, £39,071 7s. 3d. ; Mortgage Debt Sinking Fund, £36,175 Bs. 4d. New Three Per Cent. Annuities. The amount received from the 22d October to the 4th November was £7,267 18s. 10c1. ; the payments recommended amounted to £29,962 7s. 5d., of which the Whitechapel Im provement takes only £2 6s. 2d. ; llolborn Im provement £3 12s. Id. ; Kensington Improvement, £29 ss. ; Metropolitan Main Drainage, £9,167 19s. 6d. ; Thames Embankment (North), £1,586 3s. 2d. ; Southern Embankment, £4,803 2s. 2d. ; and Mansion-house-street, £285 4s. 3d. THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SEWER IN THE WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE-ROAD. The Works and General Purposes Committee brought up their report, which stated that they had considered the memorial from the vestry of Lambeth, requesting that the reconstruction of the sewer in Westminster-bridge-road may not at the present time be proceeded with, and have heard the surveyor of the vestry in support thereof, but they are of opinion the work is necessary for the efficient drainage of the locality, and should ac cordingly proceed. The recommendation was approved. MR. DOULTON, M.P., AND MR. FURNESS'S CON- TRACTS. On the order for communications from members, 4r. R. TAYLOR said he had to make an applica tion to the board on the part of the parish and ves try of Lambeth. The application arose out of a letter which appeared in the minutes of the last meeting of the board, in which Mr. Doulton, his colleague, stated that he would be present that day to contradict certain statements which had been made in regard to him. It was known that certain depositions taken before the Registrar in Bank ruptcy in reference to the subject were before the board ; and he had now to apply for copies of the deposition for the use of the vestry of Lambeth, and he trusted his application would not be refused. In consequence of the report affecting his colleague, arising out of the depositions, it was thought right to make this application, which he hoped would be acceded to. Mr. SMITH (the Solicitor) said that he had ap plied to the attorneys in the case, who had refused the depositions, and it was only on application to the commissioner that he obtained them, and then for the private use of the board only. The Lam beth vestry had better make a similar application in its own behalf. Mr. SAVAGE agreed that the board could not grant copies to the vestry of Lambeth, but each member of the board should have them. The SOLICITOR—That might be done if they were kept for the private use of members. Mr. ROCIIE said the document was before the board, and was it to be considered so private and confidential that the members might not refer to it? The CHAIRMAN said there might be some grounds which would entitle the gentlemen upon whose be half the application was made to a copy of the de positions, and if they made the same application to the commissioner as the solicitor to the board had made, he (the commissioner) might also permit them to get a copy. After some discussion a motion was passed that each member of the board be furnished with a copy of the depositions. THE METROPOLITAN GAS COMPANIES AND THE BOARD. A committee of the whole board of the Metro polis Gas Bill brought up their report, which stated the steps taken on the part of the board, during the last session of Parliament, with reference to the Metropolis Gas Bill, and expressing the opinion of the committee that no bill on the subject should at present be introduced by the board, but that they should watch carefully in the interests of the con sumers and metropolitan ratepayers any bill that may be introduced by the Government or other parties. The question gave rise to some discussion, which was opened by Mr. Newton, who moved that the report be received and adopted, and the Chairman remarked that it would be unwise to enter fully into the subject at the present time, when it was well known that the whole of the gas companies had joined together for ono object, which was a re duction of their expenses, in order that they might be enabled to meet the requirements of the public at a lower tariff. On the question being put it was carried almost unanimously. After the transaction of some business, which was entirely of a routine character, the board adjourned. The Fenian Trials at Manchester. MANCHESTER, Nov. 8. At the sitting of the Court this morning at nine o'clock, the trial of John Carroll, Charles Moor house, and Daniel Reddin, for riot and misde meanour, was resumed. Mr. Pickering, Q.C., Mr. Sowler, Q.C., and Mr. Iliggin conducted the prosecution. Mr. Jones defended Reddin ; and Mr. Cottingham defended Carroll and Moorhouse. Several witnesses were examined on behalf of the Crown, but their evidence was merely a repetition of what has already appeared. The learned Judge having summed up the evi dence, The jury, after being absent for two hours, found that the warrant existed, and convicted all three prisoners. Sentence was deferred. Seven others, including Harry Wilson, have been arraigned for misdemeanour; they pleaded " Not Guilty." The abandonment by the Crown of the graver charges naturally deprives the remaining trials of much of their public interest. The authorities, however, have not relaxed any of the precautions surrounding the removal of prisoners to and from the Court-house. They are still escorted, as here. tofore, by infantry and cavalry ; and so severe have been the duties entailed upon the 57th and 72d Regiments in providing the necessary guards to the court, the gaols, &c., that the men, it is stated, do not get more on the average than two nights' rest a week, and are obliged during the greater part of that time to take their food cold.
