Nothing could have been more successful than the manticr in which the Grand Banquet to the F:!1 - 1 of DERBY, at Manchester, went off last even ing. It w:.s satisfactory in every sense of the word, and will lclig live in the remembrance of those pre- sent as a well-deserved tribute to a statesman who has done much for his country, and succeeded in extricating Parliament from a great difficulty which had long perplexed it. The Hen. Mr. EGERTON, M.P. for South Lancashire, presided in a very effi' cient manner over the entertainment, and in pro• posing the toast of the evening, the health of the Earl of DERBY, the Prime Minister of England, he was particularly felicitous in his expressions. Having pointed out the significance of the numerous gather ing that day assembled, he declared that the Con servative party had every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of business in the House of Lords, and also upon the "brilliant manner in which the work in the Lower House had been managed by Mr. DISRAELI." We have no doubt whatever that the statement of the Chairman was perfectly cor rect, when he said that if Lord DERBY'S health had permitted him to address a meeting of the working men of Manchester there would have been a most numerous gathering. The noble earl, on rising to respond, was received in the most enthusiastic style, and throughout his speech carried the feelings of the audience with him. He expressed his gratitude for the splendid de monstration made to himself and his colleagues, from whom he could not allow his name to be separated, and without whose assistance ho could not have achieved the success they then celebrated. Referring to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he said that he fully participated in the regret ex pressed in the " absence of one of those colleagues, to whose tact, temper, and judgment it was mainly owing that that arduous undertaking in which they were engaged did not result, instead of a triumphant success, in a disastrous failure ;" and further on added that nothing could have brought the " great undertaking" to a satisfactory termination but the admirable temper and judgment with which the Re form Bill was carried through the house of Com mons by his right hon. friend. Although the occa sion that called them together was a political one, the noble earl diverged for a moment to speak of the cotton famine, allusion having been made by the Chairman to the services he had rendered at that trying period. He said that amid all the troubles of that disastrous time he found one consolation, which was to see how, in the midst of their suffer ings, the middle, the higher, and the lower classes " all combined in one fellowship of feeling." Upon only one occasion, during his long political career, has Lord DERBY received a compliment like that paid to him last night, and that was under very different circumstances to the present. In 1859, at Liverpool, he was presented with an address from 7,000 inhabitants of Liverpool and its neigh bourhood, and the object was to express their con fidence in the Minister who had just been defeated in his attempt to carry a measure of reform through Parliament. Under far happier circumstances did the same Minister, with many of the same col leagues, appear, having at last succeeded in carry ing out their attempt, and settling a question of great political controversy. Lord DERBY can hardly be accused of exaggeration when he says that for years and years the Liberal party have been talk ing about this matter, but unhappily they have confined their efforts to talk, and have expressed immense astonishment at the Conservative party carrying a Reform Bill. The noble earl confessed that he shared somewhat in that astonishment him self, on account of the difficulties with which they had had to contend, but there was nothing surprising in the fact that a Conservative Government should have desired to carry a Reform Bill. Four Reform Bills have been introduced during the last eight years, two have emanated from the Conservatives and two from the " great united Liberal party." On the last occasion the Conservatives allowed their opponents to bring their bill to a second reading, but a very different course was pursued by these wor thies when the Conservative schemes were under discussion. In 1859 the Bill was thrown out, and again, in 18G7, Mr. GLADSTONE endeavoured to prevent the second reading taking place; and it was only in consequence of the action of the more inde pendent members of the Liberal party that his at tempt was unsuccessful. " Now," exclaims the noble Premier very forcibly, "after these recitations what ground is there for saying that the Conserva tives as a body have been opposed to a well considered, safe, and liberal measure of Reform ?" There is no shilly-shallying in Lord DERBY'S speeches, and he always goes straight to the point, whether indifferent friends or insincere opponents may be pleased or not. He says ve r y truly that there were some of the Conservative party who would have been pleased if this question had never been raised at all, and he may venture to say that there " were not a few of the Liberal party who would have been well satisfied to allow the question of Reform to rest, and allow themselves to maintain the reputation of being ardent supporters of Reform, but being impeded in their cause by the stupid, obstinate, bigoted Tories." The noble lord took a very fair and unprejudiced view of the course pursued by the late Government, and gave it as his opinion that the late Government made a mistake in the tone they took with the House of Commons. They thought they could drive the House into :sanctioning a measure it did not approve. " I know the House of Commons pretty well," observed the noble earl; "I had twenty-two years experience of it, and I have watched its proceed ings since then, and I know that is a body easily led by those in whom it has confidence, but it is a body which will not be driven by any person." Without consult ing the feelings of the House the late Government brought their bill forward in an incomplete manner, and then declared that by it they must stand or fall, that they cut off all chance of retreat ; and, appro- priately suggests the noble earl, "By so doing I must say that they cut off all chance of success." Lord DERBY explained the difficulties and respon sibilities under which he accepted office, and he offered a well-merited tribute of thanks to the Con servative party for the confidence which they reposed in her MAJESTY'S Ministers, and the coneutrence they gave in the " largo amd extensive measure" they felt it to be their duty to propose. In speaking of the probable result of this measure, Lord DERBY referred to his own expression concerning it--a "leap in the dark." This some candid friends have de signated as an " imprudent" remark ; but the noble earl declares that ho thought this was a case in which " boldness was safety ;" and, pursuing this theme, he spoke with the greatest confidence of the trustworthiness of those recently admitted to the fran chise. The experience he met with in the time of the cotton famine of the many and excellent qua lities of the working classes led him to form such an opinion of "their intelligence, reasonablenes sound sense, and absence from personal and social preju dice, as to believe that they could without danger be entrusted with that share in the representation of their country which the recent Act has largely en trusted to their hands." Concerning Trades' Unions Lord DERBY spoke very sensibly, and gave some excellent advice to those concerned; and he claimed the right not to be misunderstood, for forty-three years ago ho was a member of the house of Commons which first succeeded in carrying the abolition of those laws which made it illegal for workmen to agree and combine together not to work under a certain Vi‘ amount of wages. If confined to their avowed ob jects of 7 esisting oppression, Lord DERBY did not call tra des' unions illegal or illegitimate, but they go be' fond their limits when they seek to prevent others from working, and to intimidate them from doitdg so. " For my own part," observed the noble earl, "looking to the public and private interests of the members, I cannot for the life of me under stand how English workmen, entitled to make the most of their own industry and science, can submit to the tyranny under which they are groaning." Without the least fear of being accused of exaggera tion, we would say that better advice thin that here tendered by Lord DERBY could not be given is a period of emergency like this occasioned by the complications of these Trades' Unions. It is worthy language for a statesman to use to his fellow countrymen—it is a solemn truth which the Minister of a great country tells to those in whose interests he is so intimately concerned. flow far more patriotic than the sensation style in which certain politicians have spoken of late, and made capital for themselves out of the prejudices and passions of their auditory. ,The noble earl concluded his interesting speech by remarking that he had no present intention of resigning office, as had been asserted in some quarters, but that whenever he did retire he trusted that he should in no respect have " forfeited the confidence, the good opinion, and the esteem of the great and influential party, never more great and influential than it is at the present moment, which it has been his honour to lead for so many years." Lord STANLEY made a few observations, which met with general approval. He said he looked without alarm at what the House of Commons had done with respect to Reform, and added some very just remarks about the national tendencies of Eng land being opposed to levelling ideas. " What Englishmen ask for is an open career and the power to rise." Respecting foreign affairs, the noble lord said that, so far as our interests are concerned, they stand on a firm footing. The sky is not free from clouds on the continent, but a " nee(jless war" does not seem imminent. Regarding Abyssinia, Lord STANLEY regrets the necessity of war, but the cost of the expedition has been greatly magnified by reports on the subject. In most appropriate lan guage the noble lord explained the reasons that had influenced the Government, and in a few weeks he declared that they would ask Parliament and the country if they had acted rightly, and " without fear and doubt await the answer of the English people." For many reasons the affair of yesterday at Manchester is a satisfac tory one, and the Government cannot but feel their hopes revived by the declarations they have met with of confidence and regard. We are glad that Manchester has spoken out, and that in the great stronghold of the doctrines of Free Trade homage and honour should have been paid to the Minister who has done more even than that which was achieved through the exertions of those days when the League flourished. We think that the country cannot but benefit by judging things fairly, and seeing events clearly, in their full meaning and real significance. Since a Conservative Government has conferred upon the people the benefits of a Reform Bill it is just that they should be duly recognised as benefactors, and that their light should not be hid under a bushel, but shine forth in splendour in the promise and hope of the better day of progress that has dawned upon us. Sir STAFFORD NORTIICOTE is always worth listen ing to, and even when he touches upon the hack neyed subject of representative reform he is cer tain to command attention. Ile has just taken advantage of the opportunity afforded him by a local anniversary to express his views on the matter very fully to his constituents. What the results of the measure might ultimately be, it was, he said, impossible to fortell, but he believed for his part that all which ha I been done was for the best. There were many questions of great national importance, such as questions connected with Irish affairs, with no relations between em ployer and employed, and others of a similar character, which it was absolutely necessary should be dealt with by a strong Government, but which were compelled to be laid aside because the stum bling-block of reform prevented the existence of a strong Government. It was a difficulty in the way of every successive Administration, who, from being compelled to temporise with that, found itself obliged to temporise in everything else. Lord DERBY'S Cabinet, on accepting office, had two alternatives before them. Either they might have attempted to satisfy the House and the country that the question ought to be laid at rest for a time, or they must have dealt with it in a comprehensive spirit. Lord DERBY'S Go vernment having decided on the latter course felt that it was not a question to b 3 " nibbled at." Had they attempted to do so they would have been inflicting a great injury on the Conservative in terest. By this interest Sir S. NORTIICOTE explained that he did mean simply the political party in the Commons, but the large body of mon throughout the country, who, on the whole, desire to keep England as it is ; who wish to adapt our institutions to the circumstances of the times without a great radical revolution. Sir STAFFORD NoRTIICOTE himself is no inapt representative of this class. lie is liberal and enlightened in many of his views, and is a s taunch Free-trader, but at the same time he is averse to hasty and violent changes. lie belongs to a class of politicians who, if they existed at all in the last century, were to be numbered by units, but who are now a large and influential body, checking by the mohration of their views the ex travagance of more extreme politicians. Sir STAFFORD NORTIICOTE, in the course of his address, spoke very strongly on electoral corrup tion. "If there is one danger," ho said, "to which England is exposed from the representative system, I believe it is the danger of the prevalence of electoral corruption." It is, as he justly observed, of the highest importance that in revising our re presentative system we should endeavour, as far as possible, to put a check upon this great evil. If the time should come when the mere influence o f money will be the chief thing that governs elec tions it will be a serious evil, and the present is the time to guard against it. Sir S. NORTIICOTE was chairman of the select committee which last session considered this subject and shaped the bill, and he is, therefore, well acquainted with the practical difficulties of the question. He has not yet made up his mind to the only tree and effectual remedy, but we are not without hope that further consideration and experience will lead him to accept, without doubt or reservation, the grand panacea of the Ballot. BAS-RELIEFS AS SIGNS.—The stranger in London is greatly struck with some of these picturesque specimens of the modeller's art. There is the Bull and Mouth at St. Martin's-le-Grand, on the façade of the Queen's Hotel, once the Bull and Mouth Inn. This curious relief represents a large mouth and upper part of the faco foreshortened, with a bull standing across it. This grotesque sign affords one of the most curious examples of the manner in which phrases have become corrupted in this country. Origi nally the sign represented the Boulogne Mouth, otherwise, the entrance to Boulogne harbour, which seaport town was captured by Henry VIII. ; but in less than a hundred years, we are told, the original meaning became changed into the absurd it ure that we see at St. Altkrtin't3-le-r.;',rand. —Once a Week. RIDAY EVENIN:3I, ocroBER 18, MT. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The information I collected yesterday from various sources as to the " situation " in Italy is encirely confirmed by the latest authentic accounts received to-day, and proves that, in spite of the collection of a few bands in some of the provinces, there is yet no serious ground for supposing that an attack on Rome is imminent. Some of them cross the fron tier. Their officers are in uniform. The Garibal dians appear to be concentrated to the number of about 3,000 between Monte Librette, Monte Rio Romano, Nerola, and Moricone. To show the good feeling of the peasantry, it may be stated that on the 13th, at - Vallecorsa, on the southern frontier, a column of volunteers with some gendarmes kept a band of 200 Garibaldians in check. The latter had 10 killed, among whom the chief and three officers, and had also several wounded. These volunteers took 46 Garibaldians prisoners, and also some arms and ammunition. It is stated, on official autho rity, that throughout the whole of the Pontifical states, the population is not only tranquil, but, in some localities, join in manifestations against the agitators. The Garibaldi party, it should be added, continue their misrepresentations in spite of the want of sympathy in their cause. Nerola, where Menotti Garibaldi has his headquarters, is a small town not far from the frontier, And in the moun tains of the Sabine, between the valley of the Tiber and that of Teverone de Nerola, is a road leading to Rome over Monte Librette, MonteMaggiore, and Monte Rotonda. The distance to Rome is less than 50 miles. The Pontifical troops, as has been already stated, were at first repulsed by the advanced guard of Menotti Garibaldi, and, retreated temporarily to Monte Maggiore, but Menotti's band were after wards repulsed, and were compelled to evacuate Monte Librette. They then returned in order to make their camp at Nerola as secure as possible. The Skuptchina, or National Assembly of Servia, was opened on Friday last at Belgrade. Prince Michael on this occasion pronounced a speech which was almost exclusively devoted to the internal affairs of the Principality, and which recognised the tran quillity which had arisen from the wisdom of which the Porto had afforded proof in renouncing his right to garrison the Servian fortresses. The prince has expressed his gratitude for the flattering reception he had experienced from the Sultan, and for the conciliatory disposition exhibited by the Turkish Government. He also alluded to the proofs of friendship which the Powers had manifested to wards Servia. Satisfied with its legitimate aspira tions, the Principality had been enabled to enter upon a career of practical amelioration, and to oc • cupy itself with economical and administrative questions which deeply interested the future condi tion of the country. The speech was exceedingly well received. A very interesting ceremony will take place on Sunday, the 27th inst., at the Palace of Industry in the Champs Elys6es, where there will be a dis tribution of the rewards offered by the Society for the Protection of Apprentices and Children em ployed in Manufactories. This society merits and enjoys the support of all who take an interest in improving the moral and material condition of the rising generation. The prizes will be distributed either by the Empress or the Imperial Prince. The number of children employed in industrial pursuits will be at least 10,000, and the attendance of visitors will be very numerous. The children will pass in front of the Throne in procession before the prizes arc awarded. Previously the young apprentice girls will be seated to the left of her Majesty, and the boys to her right. They were afterwards re- Baled with fruit, pastry, and confectionery. The prizes will consist of 10 large engraved portraits of the Empress, and 10 portraits of the young Prince, with an inscription stating the motive of the reward, with the autograph signature of her Majesty and the Prince. Twenty embroidered banners given by the Empress with her initials. Forty gold, silver, or bronze medals, and four " honourable mentions." Commissions were appointed some mouths ago to select the children to whom the prizes are to be awarded. The first Com mission was under the presidency of Monseigneur Darboy, Archbishop of Paris, and the second under that of M. Dumas, a Senator, and member of the Institute. The Secretary-General of the society is the Duke de pouchy. A statue is to be erected opposite the College of France to Charlemagne, as the creator and protec tor of schools. It will be an equestrian statue. When it is completed Paris will have four equestrian statues—that of Henry the Fourth, on the Pont Neuf ; Louis the Fourteenth, in the Place des Vic toires ; Louis the Thirteenth, in the Place Royale, in the Marais ; and that of Charlemagne in ques tion. The Imperial Exhibition Commis.sion have given notice that the juries will . have terminated their labours on the 25th instant relative to the classes which were reserved (Agriculture, Horticulture, &c.) The prizes will, therefore, be awarded at the following dates :--The gold medals from the 15th to the 30th of November next, the silver medals from the sth to the 31st of December ; the bronze medals from the 15th of January to the 29th of February, 1868. The diplomas will be given at the same periods, and those of " the honourable mentions" from the Ist to the 31st of March, 1868. According to the report of the medical men, M. Fould died from angiflus pectoris, and on the morn ing of hie death there was no symptom whatever to indicate that there was any derangement in his health. There was no idea of calling in medical assistance, but M. Fould's doctor happened to call by chance about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. About half-past 7 o'clock M. Fould was in great pain, and his valet de chantbre was called to rub him, to re lieve what was imagined to be his old disorder, rheumatism. One of the papers gravely argues that M. Fould's death was accelerated by smoking a cigar between the two attacks of anginas. The cotton factory of Messrs. Serive at Lille has been destroyed by fire, and the damage is estimated at nearly half a million of francs. A man named Bolydieu, who had been dismissed from the factory, and who was heard making threats against the establishment, has been arrested on suspicion of having set fire to it. A carter, residing in the environs of Paris, had long been on intimate terms with a young girl named Celina P., and had promised her marriage. As he had lately ceased to visit her she went to the place where ho was employed, having heard that he was about to marry another. The man having ad mitted the fact, she drew a dagger from under her dress and stabbed him in the heart. tie died instantly. She then stabbed herself with the same weapon, and throw herself, bathed in blood, upon her lover's corpse. The wounds are so serious that she is not expected to survive. A case of premature interment has taken place at Sainte Eutrope, in the department of Finistere, which has created considerable sensation in the locality. A girl of 25, named Philomene Jonetue, having died, as was supposed, from cholera, and there being much alarm about the disease, the interment took place seventeen hours afterwards. When the grave-digger was about to throw earth over the coffin he distinctly heard several knocks from the interior. He immediately went to the church for the minister, and a surgeon was also sent for. On opening the coffin it was found that the cloth which bound the head was much tumbled, from which it is supposed that the head had been tossed about violently. The same thing occurred with the linen which covered the feet. The heart had not entirely ceased to beat, but the surgeon could not restore animation, so the body was soon afterwards reinterred. Several persons are said to have heard the noise in the coffin. The head had certainly moved from its position. The second day's Autumn Races at Chantilly did not excite much interest. The results were the Prix de Montefontaine, 2,ooof.—Clochette, 1 ; Bunshant, 2 ; Mon. Soleil, 3. Prix d'llallate, 2,oooE—Fitz-Compiegne, 1 ; Palette, 2; Turenne, 3.

There is no truth in the report of a proposed in terview at Baden between the Emperor of Austria and the King cf Prussia, and consequently all the speculations in which some of the papers have indulged respecting it naturally falls to the ground. The last day of the stay of the Emperor at Biarritz was embittered by a lamentable accident. One of his Majesty's couriers was walking on the rocks, when he was surprised by the rising tide and was drowned, iu spite of the efforts to save him. His body was recovered. The Empress was, unfor tuately, a witness of the accident. The Archduke Henri of Austria has just married an actress of the theatre of Gratz, Aldile. Hoff mann, upon whom the Emperor has bestowed the title of Countess. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE PAPAL INVASION. FLORENCE, Oct. 18. Advices from the Roman frontier announce that Menotti Garibaldi had taken up a position at Monte Maggiore. Nicotera was at Ceccano, and was in full communication with the bands in the moun tains. A few bands had appeared at Yalmonte, and in the neighbourhood of Tivoli. The Pontifical troops beyond Frosinone were falling back without striking a blow. Among the insurgents there was a complete band of 1,200 Roman emigrants under the command of Major Ghirelli.

The officers named are at present confined at St. Michel pend ing their trial. According to the same letters Baron Hubner, the Austrian Minister at the Papal Court, had re turned to Rome, and had urged the Pope not to quit the capital. As regards the insurrection, three considerable bands appeared to threaten Viterbo. The Sabina band, reinforced by the continual arrival of trains full of volunteers from Naples, exceeded in number 2,000 men, whose chief camp was at Monte Car pignano.

BADEN AND 711 E NORIII GERMAN CONFEDERA7ION. CARLSRMIE, Oct. 14. At the sitting of the Chambers to-day, Deputy Mundt put the questions upon Prince Hohenlohe's statements to the Bavarian Chamber of which he had given notice. He asked how far the Govern ment agreed with the Bavarian plan of an interna tional connection between North and South, what relation the alliance with Austria was intended to occupy, and whether the statement of the Bavarian Minister as to the inadmissibility of the closer con nection of a single South German State with the Northern Bund was based upon any diplomatic facts. Baron von Freydorf, the Minister for Fo reign Affairs, replied as follows : " Upon the 9th May last the Ministry over which I have the honour to preside received through the Bavarian Ambassador a note from his Government of May 6, in which the Grand Ducal Government was invited to join in an annexed Bavarian and Wurtemberg Ministerial Declaration, subsequently signed by Wurtemberg on the 16th. A similar in vitation was addressed to the Government of South Hesse. This note developed part of the ideas as to the future relation of the South German States to the Northern Band contained in Prince Hohenlohe's speech of the Bth inst. The annexed Ministerial de claration included detailed proposals for the forma tion of a further confederation between the four South German States on the one hand and the Northern Bund on the other. After some modifi cations of the proposed declaration had been partly effected, partly placed in prospect by correspond ence between the Ministries concerned, I received instructions from the Grand Ducal Government on May 27, to enter in to negotiations with the North German Blind upon the subject, in common with the three other South German Governments, and to report the result in due course. Meantime it had been announced that Prussia intended to give notice of the dissolution of the Zollverein upon July 1, to take effect, therefore, from Ist January next ; and the Grand Ducal Government thought it advisable to get to negotiations as to the reconstruction of the Zollverein as early as possible by means of the negotiations set on foot by Prince Holienloho. As the agreement of all the South German States as to the bases of the proposed further confederation were not attained, and would not be easily or soon arrived at, I wrote on May 31 to the Bavarian Minister, communicating my instructions of May 27, again dwelling upon the points of difference, and showing that it would be unpractical and dilatory if the four South German StateS, before meeting the represen tatives of the Northern Bund, endeavoured to come to an agreement upon all disputed points and de tails of the bases of the negotiations, as the points themselves would take different shape during their course. I added that the Grand Ducal Government preferred leaving to the Bavarian Government— unless Prussia should soon take the initiative—on its part, in the name of the South German States, and, avoiding previously calling a conference of the Ministers of those States, or entering into further written negotiations, to take fitting steps for effect ing the speedy meeting of a conference of the Mi nisters of the South German States with the . repre sentatives of North Germany for the establishment of a further confederation of the South German States with the Northern Bund. This communication had only just been despatched when the invitation of Prussia to the customs conference at Berlin arrived, whose result you know. Since that time the nego tiations for the establishment of the further con federation have remained stationary, with the ex ception of a note from Prince Hohenlohe on August 5, which alludes to various passages of my de spatch of May 31, replies to some of the objections, and reserves to the King's Government to return to the negotiations at a fitting period. This is the formal position of the negotiations to which Prince Ilohenlohe's speech of the Bth inst. refers. Their material situation is best seen from the interpreta tion of the principal point in dispute. The Bava rian and Wurtemberg Ministerial declaration pro posed that certain matters should be regarded as common affairs of the further confederation, and that Arts. 3 and 4 of the North German Constitu tion draft should be recognised as basis of the negotiations as to settling what these affairs should be. So far as they could not be regulated in ad vance by way of treaty according to the Federal Constitution, they were to be settled by an enlarged Federal Council co-operating with the Parliament in the North, NV ith the Diets of the individual States in the South. On behalf of this Government it was proposed that the common affairs of Arts. 3 and 4 of the North German Constitution should be settled by the addition of representatives of the South German States to the Federal Council and the Parliament, as has now been agreed upon for customs and commercial matters. You see from this that negotiations have taken place between the South German States, that we have agreed upon opening relations with the North German Bund, and upon the idea of establishing a further confede ration, but that the bases of its constitution are not yet definitively laid down. The Bavarian and Wur temberg Ministerial declaration also contains a pas sage upon the relations of the further confederation with Austria, according to which a corresponding connection with that Power was to be striven for in case it could not be attained simultaneously with the conclusion of the treaty of federation. The Grand Ducal Government bas not yet expressed its opinion upon this point, because it was only informed sub sequently by Prince Hohenlohe's note of June 1 of the agreement between Bavaria and War temberg upon this article, and because the position Prussia and the North German Confedera tion inteni to take up towards Austria must also govern our relations with that Power. This would probably have been settled in the course of further negotiation. But the previous or simultaneous set tlement of our relation towards Austria is not made a condition of the establishment of the separate confederation, and no idea of an alliance with Aus tria in that shape seems to be entertained. Lastly, the Bavarian Minister for Foreign Affairs has ex pressed his personal opinion that it would be neither politically correct nor advisable, nor practicable peacefully, if single South German States entered into closer connection with North Germany. We must respect this conviction of a distinguished and conscientious German politician, and :assume that the reasons upon which it was based may be of weight according to given circumstances. We have already repeatedly expressed our contrary convic tion, and demonstrated its compatibility with the Nikolsburg. preliminaries and the Prague Treaty, and its agreement with Article 79 of the North Ger man Federal Act. That conviction of the Bavarian State Minister rests probably simply upon an inter pretation of the aforesaid treaties differing from ours, and upon general political views as to the state of affairs in Central Europe. Peculiar circumstances, and in especial statements of interested or foreign Powers in political negotiations or diplomatic docu ments, upon which the aforesaid conviction might be based are not known to us. The Grand Ducal Government believes the time will come which will permit the South German States to unite them selves with equal rights to the new Germany now in process of formation. It is endeavouring to create by acts the bases which will justify our country in demanding national union, but it will esteem itself fortunate if that union with the North can be effected in common with its neigh bours, south of the Maine, and will constantly be ready until that period, as in the above detailed negociations, to take every preparatory step i n common with the remaining South German Govern ments." THE EVACUATION OF LUXEMBURG.-A curious story is told concerning the evacuation of the fortress of the Luxemburg by the Prussians. The Prussian engineers, during their 50 years' occupation of the fortress, have con sti uctod great works underground, every part being sapped and mined. Under the citadel is a crypt citadel, a sub terranean citadel which is a veritable labyrinth, composed of an infinite number of galleries, passages, chambers, posterns, and concealed doors. Now, in giving up the Luxemburg, and handing over the fortress to the now garrison of Luxemburgians, the Prussians say that they have no plan of these works to give to the governor of the now garrison. They have simply handed him over the bundles of keys of the different doors and galleries., without other guide. As there are 523 keys in the bundle the coaftttsion of the unfortunate gown= may In imagiva , HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Oct. 15.

We have to record the death of Admiral Lord Fitzhardinge, G.C.8., who died yesterday at Ber keley Castle, Gloucestershire. The noble and gallant peer was the next brother to the late Earl Fitz hardinge, and son of the sixth Earl Berkeley. his lordship was born in 1788, and married, first, in Dec., 1823, Lady Charlotte Lennox, sixth daughter of Charles, fourth Duke of Richmond, which lady died in August, 1833 ; and, secondly, in Sept., 1834, Lady Charlotte, third daughter of the first Earl of Ducie. The deceased peer entered the navy in June, 1802, and distinguished himself in 1803 at the capture of a schooner by boats ; commanded the gunboats in the Tagus, co-operated with the troops in the lines of Torres Vedras, and was thanked in public orders by the Duke of Wellington. He commanded the Thunderer, 84, at the capture of St. Jean crAcre, for which he was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath, and received the gold medal. The gallant lord was one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty from April, 1833, to December, 1834 ; from July, 1837, to March, 1839 ; and again from July, 1846, till March, 1852, and subsequently, from December the same year to 1857. From De cember, 1832, and for a long series of years, ho represented Gloucester in the House of Commons. On the death of his elder brother, the late Earl Fitzhardinge, in 1857, he became a claimant for the barony of Berkeley, by tenure of Berkeley Castle, in which he was unsuccessful, and was immediately afterwards created Baron Fitzhardinge, of the city and county of Bristal,• in the peerage of the United Kingdom. He is succeeded in the family honours by his eldest son, the Hon. Francis W. Fitzhardinge, born in 1826, and who married, in Nov., 1857, Georgiana, only daughter of Mr. Wm. Holm° Sumner, of Hatchlancls, near Guildford. The late lord's second son, Charles Paget, was born in 1830, and is married to the only daughter of Mr. H. Lindow Lindow. His daughter Frederick was married to Lord Gifford ; and Fenella married to Colonel Armytage of the Coldstream Guards. The late admiral was made a Privy Councillor in 1855, and a Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath in 1861. ME. BENTLEY'S ANNOUNCEMENTS for the season just about to commence are more than usually at tractive. Foremost among them are the " Recol lections of My Life," by the unfortunate Emperor Maximilian. Supplemented with a record of his death—the death cf a true Prince and a noble gentleman —the work is of a character likely to combine within itself the solemnity of history and the fascination of romance. Then, again the Publisher in Ordinary to Her Majesty, is enabled to announce, among the books now immediately preparing for publication at his hands, "The Miscellaneous PriAe Works of Edward Bulwer, Lord Lytton" —now first collected. Occupying three handsome octavo volumes, it is understood that this collection of Essays, Criti.' cisms, and Biographies, from the master hand of England's greatest Romancist, will comprise among the contents or the volume some of the choicest productions of his pen—such, for instance, as an enthralling paper on " The Reign of Terror" and the pick of his contributions to the principal quarter - lies, the Eclinlnurgh, the Quarterly, the Foreign Quar- terly, and the Westminster, together with his earlier sketches in the New Monthly, entitled collectively " The Student," and his later miscellaneous contri butions to Blackwood, hitherto known as " Cax toniana." The work thus announced by Mr. Bentley as immediately forthcoming, will, as a matter of course, take its place at once in every well-appointed English gentleman's library on the same shelf with such companion three volumes as the standard edition of "Essays" by Lord Macaulay. The accomplished elder brother of Lord Lytton, Sir Henry Bulwer, himself one of the first diplomatists now living, has a work also in Mr. Bentley's hands—a work now upon the very eve of publication, in which by a series of rapid and brilliant touches he delineates with admirable force " Historical Characters" as remarkable as Talley rand, Mackintosh, Cobbett, Canning and Peel. Two other announcements of Mr. Bentley's deserve also particular mention—namely, " Cradle Lands," by the gifted and indefatigable Lady Herbert of Lea ; and a second series of W. F. Hook's " Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury." Mr. DISRAELI'S VISIT TO EDINBITIIGII.—We are glad to learn that at the meeting of the Lord Provost's Committee on Wednesday it was unanimously resolved that the freedom of the city should be presented to Mr . Disraeli in the Music Hall on tho 30th inst., instead of Queen-street Hall, as previously arranged, the object being to allow as many persons as possible tho opportunity of seeing the distinguished Minister.—Edinburgh Courant The last great choral gathering of 5,000 voices at the Crystal Palace, under the direction of Mr. G. W. Martin, will take place on Monday next. The programme will include the allowing national part songs, harmonised by Mr. Martin :—" Home, sweet home" (English), " The Minstrel Boy" (Irish), "Scots wha' hae" (Scotch), "Men of Harlech" (Welsh), and the " Sailor's native home." Excursion trains will run on most of the railways on this day. A " NAPOLEON'S WILLOW" AT KEW HAS BEEN CUT DOWN.—This tree was planted about 40 years ago, and has over since been one of the most attractive objects in the gardens, hundreds of Englishman looking upon it as a national historic trophy, whilst Frenchmen might be seen reverently taking off their hats, and oven going down on' their knees before it. Some years ago n frenzy of enthusiasm in respect of this tree seized the London public ; and on several Sundays in succession swarms of people went to Kew to see it ; once, indeed, in so demon strative a manner that the crowd forced their way through a closed gate in quest of the object of their curiosity. "St. Helena Willows" abound; there are, in fact, thousands in the suburbs of London alone, to say nothing of examples in almost every good garden throughout the country. But the Kew willow was one of the most worthy, bocauso it was not, like many called Napoleon and St. Helena willows, reared from n cutting taken at one or two removes from the original, bat came direct from one of the trees that overshadowed Napoleon's tomb prior to the removal of the last stumps of those trees in 18.10.--Gardener's Magazine.
