A banquet has taken place at Leeds to celebrate the passing of Lord DERBY'S Reform Bill, which seems to have gone off in a better style and spirit than there was reason to hope. Mr. BAINES, whose occupation is gone, spoke fairly enough on the whole, and declared that when they called for re form they never meant revolution. They honoured both Houses of Parliament, and even the aris tocracy, as institutions. It is really a relief, after the half-praise and implied censure of some Reformers of different schools, to meet with such outspoken language as that of Mr. BAINES. He said that " what made them now rejoice was not a selfish object attained, but an object wide as the nation itself, and which they shared and enjoyed with all their fellow-citizens." Everyone can sympathise with one who, like the hon. mem ber for Leeds, has long been striving for a particu lar object, and at last finds it accomplished, and something even beyond his expectations accom plished also ; but what is provoking is to find people persisting in their animadver sions when they ought, in common consistency, to be silent, if not glad. During several years Mr. BAINES has directed his attention to the consideration of the franchise, and has over and over again told the men of Leeds that they were not fully or fitly represented. The manner in which the House of Commons has dealt with the question of Reform has been on the principle which the French poet suggested in his art of ver sification, Vingt fois sur le metier remettez l'ouvrage, and at any rate it has not used despatch nor decided summarily. During nine sessions, Mr. BAINES informed his hearers, he had supported six Reform Bills. It was not to be expected that a speech of this kind should not contain a small amount of party spirit, and accordingly we find Mr. BAINES citing some cases in which the Tory party had shown their unwillingness to expedite Reform ; and he attempted to prove that it was inconsistent then to carry household suffrage. Concerning Mr. GLAD STONE he thought that his speeches had done more than anything else to bring about the accomplish ment of Reform, and gave some interesting accounts of his attempts to make Mr. GLADSTONE agree to the six-pound franchise instead of the seven. The right hon. gentleman was willing enough for himself to agree, but he was afraid of the consequences. With others we think that any impartial person would say that this statement of the hon. member's went far to account for the anomaly, as he considers it, of a Tory Administration carrying a Reform Bill . Perplexed and bewildered with the claims of the misrepresented on one side, and the unwillingness of lukewarm friends and divided supporters on the other, Mr. GLADSTONE brought in an imperfect measure, and had to resign office in consequence of the struggle that took place in trying to pass it. " How times have changed since," exclaims Mr. BRINES, and yet goes on to declare that the " Rus- SELL and GLADSTONE Ministry sacrificed office in order to carry a Reform Bill, and that the Administration of Lord DERBY and Mr. DISREALI carried a Reform Bill only be cause they would not sacrifice office." There is nothing in which politicians of the Liberal school more completely defeat their own objects, and militate against the interests of their party, than by looking at things in such a prejudicial manner as this. To follow out his own illustration, what does Mr. BAINES mean by saying that the Liberal Ministry went out of office to further the cause of Reform, unless it was that Mr. GLAD STONE had the dis2ernmcnt to see that the Con servatives were more united than his own party, and, therefore, virtually stronger, though numerically inferior. We cannot say that the course pursued by the right hon. gentleman during this session looked very patriotic and self-sacrificing, but such is the only interpretation to be put upon the parallel drawn between the two Administrations. At any rate, no one can find fault with this speech for want of candour, and Mr. BAINES de clared that he would not himself have gone so far as household suffrage; but having frankly said this, he admitted that " he was not afraid of the suffrage being entrusted to the householders of England on one condition, namely, that they culd get the THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAY EYENIN3, OCTOBER 17, 186.7 honest, the unbought, the unforced verdict of the ',constituencies." In order to secure this, he advo ,cated the claims of the Ballot to consideration, :and further declared that it was so clear an acknow ledgment of the " right of conscience, and of the right of every one to exercise his own judgment, in giving his own vote, that he had never seen how it could be fairly and honestly withheld." Another explanation that the hon. member had to give was about some remarks he had made himself on the subject of working-class representatives. Ile thought that such an addition might do great good, and make the wishes and wants of the lower classes better known and understood in the Mouse of Com mons. Perhaps there is some truth in this, and at any rate it is certain that, if the most extreme minded men get into Parliament, they would soon find their level, and it is very likely under stand their mistakes. The hon. member concluded his interesting speech by an eloquent allusion to the advantages of sympathy among all classes, and the benefit of blending the interests of various parts of society together. " Whatever differences might exist socially amongst them they should diminish the strength and breadth of them so far as they could, and seek to consider the interests of England alone, and with patriotic hearts and a brotherly spirit meet there to do the best they could to confer the greatest happiness on the greatest number." There is a good deal in this discourse to meet with the approval of the disin terested politician ; and though, as we have no ticed, it is occasionally marred by prejudice, in the end it holds out a good example to public speakers, as it is straightforward and consistent, and expresses views and sentiments of the speaker in a decided manner. The intelligence brought from the United States by the City of Antwerp, though not of any striking importance, serves to confirm the previous accounts of the unsettled state of the country. The elections in the South prove the population to be in a most unsatisfactory condition. Either the whites take no interest in the proceedings and leave the matter almost entirely in the hands of the negroes, as in Alabama, or they angrily resent the intrusion of this novel element, and riots ensue as in Louisiana. Dur ing the progress of the election in Jefferson City, in the latter State, the white citizens attacked the negro voters at the poll. Several persons were injured, and the leader of the rioters killed, the disturbance being finally quelled by the military. The Registry Board of Louisiana, such as it was, has been discharged, and the Alabama election has resulted in favour of the Reconstruction Convention, which, under the circumstances, is not surprising. The fact is, that the American Government, how ever matters may be temporarily arranged, can never hope to have the government of the country on a safe or satisfactory basis until the Southern people are admitted to their fair share. The en forced tranquillity existing in some States, produced by the disgust of the whites at negro supremacy, or by the fear of riotous proceedings and consequent military tyranny, can never be relied upon to con tinue, even if it were desirable that it should do Eo. Such a condition of affairs is neither natural nor desirable in a great country ; and the Americans themselves would be the first to recognise its true character if it existed in another nation. A large proportion of American citizens are beginning to recognise this fact in its true proportions, and accordingly we find the New York State Demo cratic Convention has adopted resolutions pledging the party " to redeem the State from corruption and misrule, and denouncing the attempt of Con gress to enforce negro supremacy in the South by military rule." If the Convention can accomplish half of this programme it will do good service, but the constant recurrence of electioneering contests alone is a serious hindrance to the removal of corruption and misrule. The framers of the Constitution, no doubt, believed that this system of successive elec tions would be a check on misgovernment and preserve political integrity. Experience has proved that instead of so doing it offers a premium to the noisy, turbulent, and unscrupulous, who make a trade of public life, and are indifferent as to the means they employ to gain the desired end. The perpetual excitement kept up by the struggle for place prevents the people from reflecting calmly on the merits of any question. Those who are best qualified to guide public opinion, and to moderate its violence or its inconsistency, are precisely those who withdraw from the turmoil and lament in private over evils which they believe themselves powerless to remedy. This is a natural result, but it is to be regretted. If the better class of men, animated by a sense of duty to their country, would put themselves forward and endeavour to exercise their legitimate influence, the effect might not be immediately perceptible, but it would be seen sooner or later, and we might by degrees perceive a better tone of feeling and a higher principle infused into American public life. Rumours of Cabinet changes are revived, and an important alteration is anticipated at the Treasury. Mr. M'CuLLocir, it is thought, will retire, and will be succeeded by Mr. THOMAS EWING. The present position of the American finances is not such as to offer any great temptations to a politician, though if he could succeed in extricating the country from its present embarrassments, without loss of credit or character, he would be a fortunate man. General BUTLER, according to the New York Tribune, is coming out in a new character, and intends to appear next session as a monetary reformer. Ile is going to introduce in Congress a bill for the payment of the national debt in currency, though by what means that desirable but difficult result is to be obtained he leaves us for the present to conjecture. The prisoners remanded at Manchester on the charge of being concerned in the attack on the police have all been committed for trial. This result was naturally looked for, and we may hope that a good deal more information may be elicited at the trial than has been done during the prelimi nary inquiry, when there were many difficulties in the way. The police will be able to obtain more precise knowledge concerning them in the interval, and we may hope the decided measures adopted by the authorities will be effectual in repressing any further manifestations of Fenianism in any shape. There is no doubt an extensive organisation of Fenians in various parts of the country, and that they can be active and daring enough when the opportunity offers we have had tangible proof. At the same time there is no occasion for anything like panic, and the absurd stories which have gained currency in some quarters could only have been in tended to play upon the fears of the credulous. Such hoaxes are unpardonable as well as foolish, but if persons were not carried away by the first breath of rumour, and frightened out of their propriety by the faintest whisper of alarm, there would be less scope for mischievous agitators. We advise those to whim wonderful catastrophes are told to inquire a little more closely into the grounds of the information before they assist to spread reports that Fenians have shot at her MAJESTY, have sacked Volunteer depots, and half-a-dozen other random tales. If our police throughout the country keep a sharp look-out in districts where there is reason to suspect disaffection among the Irish residents, and if a firm hold is kept of the prisoners in charge, it will be all that is required. If the Fenian conspiracy was so quickly stamped out in Ireland itself, mainly by the aid of Irish men, with so little loss to life or p:operty, there is surely very little ground for apprehending any serious danger from a few groups of reckless adventurers in the midst of our populous and well-guarded cities. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, 'Wednesday Evening. The Emperor, Empress, and the Imperial Prince, who left Biarritz yesterday (as I informed you would be the case), arrived at the Palace of St. Cloud this morning about two o'clock in perfect health. All the Paris papers publish a telegram from Florence to-day announcing that a great victory had been obtained by the Garibaldians over the Papal troops at Nerola. This pretended victory is only an inflated re-hash of the encounter to which I alluded yesterday, and which occurred at Monte Librette, near Nerola. The real facts are these. On Sunday ninety soldiers belonging to the Italian army made a daring attack upon the Garibaldians, who blocked the route of Monte Libiti, and re-occupied the town. The Garibaldians, however, obtained considerable rein forcements, and before this unequal force the Pon tifical troops were compelled to retire with only 10 men wounded, but they also took several prisoners from the Garibaldians. The loss of the Garibaldians was considerable, and the report at Florence was that Menotti Garibaldi had been severely wounded. The result ef what is heralded by the telegraph as a great Garibaldian victory was that the insurgents thought it prudent to evacuate Monte Librette, and even Polvatera, and the Roman troops are now in undisputed possession of both these localities. The papers favourable to the insurgents pre tend that Colonel Acserbi, who commands these forces in the province of Viterbo, has managed to rally 3,000 men to support him. The Pope has traversed a part of the city of Rome on foot, and was well received. The old story is revived of numerous arrests at Rome. The Pope's Nuncio has had an interview with the Marquis de Moustier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and remitted to him a copy of the circular of Cardinal Antonelli, to which I have already re ferred. Garibaldi, we are now told, has not escaped from Caprera, but remains there out of danger. He, however, issues numerous proclamations, which betray great want of purpose. A copy of one of the proclamations, which I have seen, does not say a word about marching upon Rome to "destroy the monster," but the terms of it almost justify the idea that one of his points is now to foment a Re publican movement. There was a Cabinet Council to-day at St. Cloud, at which the Empress was present. The anniversary Mass for the repose of the soul of Queen Marie Antoinette took place this morning at the expiatory chapel in the Rue d'Anjou, St. Honord. Another suicide has taken place from the column of the Place Vendome. This morning a young man precipitated himself from the monument. He breathed when taken to the shop of M. Gallois, the apothecary at the corner of the Rue St. Honor 6, but he only survived a few minutes. The body was identified by some papers found in the pocket of the young man, and it was carried to his mother's residence, Rue Richelieu, No. 73. The fatal act is said to have arisen from a disappointment in love. An important section of the Orleans Railway, that from Rochefort to Angouleme by Cognac, was opened yesterday with great ceremony. The Minister of Public Works, M. Forcade de la Roquette, pre sided at the ceremonial, which was attended by the Bishops of Angouleme and La Rochelle. The Bishop of Angouleme made an eloquent and remarkable speech upon the occagon. The succeeding banquet wont off with great eclat. It is finally arranged that the marriage of the King of Greece with the Grand Duchess Olga, daughter of the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, will take place on the 23d inst. After the fetes the newly-married King and Queen will return to Athens. It has been reported that the ship Algerienne has been lost in a violent storm near Bougie. No information of such a catastrophe has been received at the Ministry of Marine. The weather has been again warm and agreeable to-day, and the indications of more storms have passed away. The evening papers abound with inventions and lies about Garibaldian successes. 711 E ENSUING AUTUMNAL SESSIO.'V. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—lt seems we are, this year of grace 1867, to have an autumnal session ; and it is not a little re markable that such events have, during the last thirty years since the commencement of the present reign, taken place every ten years, as if it were for the sake of round numbers. In July, 1837, about one month after Queen Victoria came to the throne, she went in person and dissolved the Parliament, which became extinct by the death of the late King. Her Majesty went and opened her first Parliament in person on the 20th of November, 1837, when, of course, we had an autumnal session. Ten years later, the memorable and glorious Parliament of 1841, Sir R. Peel's Parliament, died from old age, and was dissolved on July 23d, 1847. The new Parliament assembled early in the following No vember, partly on account of the fearful com mercial crisis which then existed : so that in 1847 we had an autumnal session. Again, ten years later, we had in 1857 an autumnal session, owing partly to another financial panic which then existed, but which was no more to be com pared with the panic of ten years previously than the letting off of a squib to an eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Again we are threatened, with another autumnal session in 1867. Moreover, 18G7 is the first year ending with a seven, for 40 years since 1827, that we have not had a general election, as in 1837, 1847, and 1857 we had in each of those last-named years a general election ; then in 1807, which " 'Tis 60 years" since—but no general elec tion took place in 1817, 1827, or 1867.—1 remain, sir, your faithful servant, A LOVER.

It is far from our intention to com pete in any way with theatrical or musical managers, and our connection with the Agricultural Hall arose solely from our having acceded to the request of the Belgian Reception Committee to undertake the entire arrangements for the grand ball. As the statement above referred to will doubtless tend to injure U 3, by leading our customers to suppose that we are relinquishing our own business, we shall be obliged by your inserting this contradiction.—Apologisiug for troubling you, we are, Sir, yours, &c., DEFRIES and SONS. 147, Houndsditch, Oct. 16. FENIAN ALARM IN YORKSIIIRE.—At Bridlington, Driffield, Mal ton, Paull, and other places the idea has got abroad that the Fenians intended to seize the arms of the volunteers, and in somo cases these have been rendered useless by removing the nipples, in others they aro guarded, and in some, as at Malton on Tuesday, the rifles wero distri buted, each man taking his own in charge. There has been no attempt to break the peace ; but, by order of the authori ties, the North-Eastern Company keep trains ready, and engines under steam, to convey troops to any quarter where au outbreak may occur.—Jrancliester angler. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE ROMAN QUESTION. FLORENCE, Oct. 17. Telegrams receiyed here from Rome, dated yes terday, announce that a fight had taken place at Vallecorsa between 200 insurgents and a body corn po,ed of Pontifical gendarmes and members of the Antibes Legion, resulting in the loss of several killed and wounded on both sides. A fierce encounter had taken place last night before the gates of San Lorenzo between the insurgents and the Papal gendarmes ; details, however, of the affair had not transpired. Paris, Oct. 17. The Moniteur of this morning says :—" The ad vices received from Italy confirm the intelligence published by the Moniteur of yesterday. It is cer tain, however, that new bands are incessantly cross ing the Papal frontier, many of their officers being in uniform, and that trains from Florence alone have conveyed thither 1,200 Garibaldians. The insurgents appear to have concentrated to the num ber of nearly 3,000 at Monte Libretto. Monte Rio Romano, Nerola, Moricone, and Baguorea have been threatened by the bands with pillage. On the 15th at Vallecorsa, on the southern frontier, a small body, consisting of a few Papal soldiers, with some peasants, volunteers, and gendarmes, held in check 200 Garibaldians, and thus left time for the Roman column to arrive. The Garibaldians had ten killed, including their leader and three other officers, and several wounded, losing besides 46 prisoners and a quantity of arms and munitions. In several towns in the provinces of Viterbo and Frosinone the inhabitants are calling for arms to aid the gendarmes in repelling the insurgent bands. " Throughout the whole extent of the Pontifical States the population not only remains calm, but is pronouncing more and more strongly against the invaders. ITALY. FLORENCE, Oct. 17. Prince Humbert has arrived here. The papers deny the statement that Garibaldi had left Caprera. Menotti Garibaldi is announced to have assumed the general command of the Papal insurgents. THE CONCORDAT. VIENNA, OCt. 17. This morning's papers consider the Emperor's autograph letter to Cardinal Ranscher as a proof that the times are really changed. It revives the confidence of the nation that his Majesty's efforts to carry out the duties he has undertaken as a con stitutional ruler, will be realised. These hopes im part value to the letter, and render it a political manifesto of the greatest scope. NORTH SCHLESWIG. HADERSLEBEN t Oct. 17. The Nord Schleswigstidende, of to-day, asserts that the negociations between Prussia and Denmark for a settlement of the North Schleswig question are based upon a proposal of Prussia, that the Dano-Prussian frontier line in Schleswig be drawn between Hadersleben and Christianfeldt. NORTH. GERMANY. BERLIN, OCt. 16 (Evening). In to-day's sitting of the North German Parlia ment a bill abolishing the import duties upon cattle and sheep over the frontier from Burg, in the island of Tehmern, to Morbro, in Schleswig, was adopted. ANTWERP, October 17. The King of the Belgians and the Prince of Wales have arrived here, and immediately went on board the Royal yacht Osborne, where they took luncheon with the Princess of Wales. The King will return to Brussels at noon, and the yacht will sail at 1 p.m. THE MAURITIUS MAILS. SUEZ, Oct. 15. The Messageries Imperiales steamer Emirne with the above mails arrived here to-day. She was de layed by damaged machinery. OVERLAND MAILS. MALTA, OCt. 16. The Ripon and Massilia left this afternoon. The former may be expected at Marseilles on the 19th, and the latter at Southampton about the 25th instant. GIBRALTAR, Oct. 16. The Pera left at 6 p.m. on the 14th, all well. She may be expected at Southampton on the 19th inst. The Sumatra, from Southampton, 12th instant, arrived to-day at 4 p.m., and leaves at 7 p.m. for Alexandria. BRAZILS. RIO DE J ANEIRO, Sept. 24. Intelligence from the seat of war announces that the position of affairs was unchanged. The siege of Humaita continued. President Mitre had refused to advance, and the Marquis de Caxias was much dissatisfied. A rumour was current of the death of Urquiza. The Brazilian Chambers are closed. The Go vernment, however, had previously obtained their sanction to the measures it had proposed. TURKISH FINANCE. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 16. The Imperial Ottoman Bank has published the usual periodical statement of the Turkish Govern ment account, according to which 835,000 lira have been received between the 13th July and the 12th October to meet the half-yearly interest of the foreign loan and general debt. FRANCE. PARIS, Oct. 17. The Revenue tables for the first nine months of the present year have been published. The figures show a falling off in consumption of taxable articles. The increase of receipts has fallen to G,766,000fr., as compared with the corresponding period of 1866, instead of 40 or 50 millions, as estimated in the Budget. During the nine months ended the 30th September last the produce of the indirect taxes other than that from sugar was 842,781,000 fr., being au augmentation of 10,493,0001 r. Sugar, on the other hand, yielded 3,727,0001 r. less than last year. The yield from this source has been in 1897 76,115,000 fr., as against 79,842,000 fr. last year. It thus results that the general increase is only 64 millions. The principal articles which have pro duced an increase are—registration and other dues, 9,890 millions ; stamps, 2,668 ; tobacco, 5,738 ; and Post-office, 2,763. The falling off is chiefly on—navi gation dues, 2,873 ; potable liquor, 6,387 ; miscella neous, 1,693 millions. Compared with the results of the first nine months of 1865, there is in favour of the present year a total augmentation of 61 mil lions, of which 47 arise from other than the sugar duties; the increase is chiefly on the registration dues, the stamps, customs, excise, on liquors and tobacco, and the Post-office. One fact clearly ap pears from a survey of the figures, and that is, the tendency of the indirect imposts to remain sta tionary, if not to diminish. The state of the direct taxation is as follows :—Amount collected up to the 30th September, 406,716 millions ; uncollected, 136,656 ; in 1867 the percentage of cost of collec tion was If. per thousand ; last year it was 0.97 c. BOURSE, Oct. 16, Two o'clock.—The bi-monthly settlement is proceeding iu a very bad market, owing to the political situation as regards the Roman question, and the different reports in consequence.

The Roman correspondent of the Standard writes on October 7 :—I see by a leader in the 'Times of this morning that your contemporary has received for a second time the cue to calumniate the Ponti fical army ; but how the epithet of "foreign cut throats" can be applied to the men who served thi sick and dying at Albano with the abnegation and courage of Sisters of Charity, and are now serving the Head of Catholic Christendom in his last ex tremity with the chivalrous daring of French gen tlemen, I am at a loss to conceive. It would be much more fitly used in reference to the hordes which, in defiance of treaties, in contempt of the usages of civilised nations, unrecognised by any European Power, and unsupported by the popula tions they pretend to deliver from au unendurable tyranny, are ravaging the Roman confines, robbing farms, pillaging communes, and imposing taxes without the smallest right or motive for doing so, save the filling of their own pockets. The odds are no doubt tremendous against the Pope, but the gauntlet has been taken up so chival rously that, whatever be the issue, the combatant: have a right to the respect of Europe. So far not an incident has occurred to cast a doubt on the fidelity of the Italian regiments of the line in the service of the Pope, and the fidelity, energy, and courage of the gendarmerie are above all praise. They have everywhere rivrlled the Zouaves in dar ing and steadiness under fire, and as far as human: effort can go have nobly sustained the honour of the Papal flag. If all fails, at least it may be said, in the words of the old Jacobite ballad—. "Nov a' is done that man can do, And a' is done in vain ;" and good taste and gentlemanly feeling should at least dictate respect for those whose convictions leac, them to pour out their best blood in a cause dear tc them as Catholics. The internal state of Rome continues most tran quil, and not the slightest symptom of insurrection exists. The cholera has entirely ceased, and th& beautiful October weather gives every assurance that the epidemic will not return. The cases yesterda3 were reduced to one, and that case is a convalesconi one. The Pope drove out yesterday, and was wel, received. llis health is excellent, and those whc surround him state that his courage is unshaken and his confidence in the help of Providence as higl and reliant as ever. The same correspondent writes on October 10 : -Not a Roman has joined the movement ; not Papal soldier has either fled or betrayed his cause and I cannot too strongly stigmatise the conduct u the telegraphic authorities in circulating such base less falsehoods. The bureaux are in the hands o the Jews. The loss sustained by the Roman troops is, so far, five wounded, and one Dutch soldie) dead. The Garibaldians have lost 75 dead a. Bagnorea, and 165 prisoners, who were brought ii last week, and are now in Fort St. Angelo. Yot may rely on my writing you the naked truth, as there is no use in disguising facts, and no good cans( stands in need of falsehood or exaggeration. We expect 400 Zouaves on Sunday, all veteran soldiers, and ready to re-enter the ranks at a moment's notice. Last night we received dis patches testifying to the entire tranquillity of tht provinces of Frosinone and Vitcrbo. The Gari baldianS threatened Nerola, but retreated imme diately on the advance of Charette's column yester day morning. They are encamped, about 50(1 strong, on the flanks of Monte Carpignano, just opposite to, and in full sight of, the Italian post. The attack is almost certain to be renewed in t. day or two, probably on the frontier of Subiaco, which is the point threatened. Rome enjoys the most entire tranquillity, and there is no sympathy whatever for the party os action. We expect, however, that if any checb takes place on the confines (so far the Papal troops have been everywhere victorious) the Italian Government will enter the province of Viterbo, ostensibly to restore order. The Pope walked down the Corso yesterday He was in excellent health and spirits. The recruitment for the Zouaves continues in un abated proportions in France and Belgium, and the service of the Valory and Faissinet packets is in sufficient to bring away the volunteers who crowd to Marseilles for shipment to Rome. THE LITERARY announcements for the coming season are in many ways very delightful. Al. though Christmas is still so far off we havt already the foreshadowing of the usual Doublt Number of All the Year Round—to be written thi: time entirely by CHARLES DICKENS and WILKIE COLLINS—the bulk of the double number being ex clusively from the master-hand of Charles Dickens himself, who (may we whisper it ?) turns his pen foi once among the eternal snows, into an alpenstock ! The QUARTERLIES just now are coming out in with more than ordinary vigour simultaneously. The Edinburgh, comprising among its contents s most attractive paper on " Miss Edgeworth—hei life and writings." The Quarterly being chiefly remarkable for an enthralling paper on the "Por traits of Christ." The Westminster devoting one of is articles to the consideration of "La Bruyere, his Life and Works." The London Quarterly dis canting, among other important themes, on " The Catholic Revival." The Dublin Review comment ing anew the " Life of St. Aloysius Gonzaga"—and the British Quarterly upon that of "St. Patrick," the Apostle of Ireland. A Farewell Dinner to Mr. Charles Dickens is about to be given immediately at Freemasons' Tavern—the day fixed for it, we believe, being Saturday, the 2d of November. It has been pro jected, this public demonstration, simply with a view to the bidding him Godspeed before his departure for America on the 9th pros., and as affording the means for evidencing, in some signal and public manner, the• affectionate admiration with his name, with which ho him self, personally, his genius, his works, his career, his whole character have long since come to be regarded by all classes of his fellow-countrymen. The most attractive book, in point of political interest, of the coming season, will most probably be one on the great and complicated "Roman Question," entitled, "The Trinity of Italy; or, the Pope, the Bourbon, and the Victor." It is written by an Englishman who for eight years was in intimate official connection with the Court of Naples, and throws new light on the past and present revolutions in Italy. The work will be published by Messrs. Moxon. Mr. John Oxenford, who has just returned from America quite restored in health, is engaged to write a series of " American Social Sketches" in the new weekly paper, the Leader. In offering the new Tennyson-Dore book to the trade more than the first edition was taken by the London booksellers alone. A bottle has been picked up in Shields harbour with a goodly-sized crab inside, which had evidont:y ob tained an ontranct) tkor9in when young. du urt • fat HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Tuesday.

As briefly stated by telegraph yesterday, the ceremony of unveiling the statue of his late Royal highness the Prince Consort at Balmoral took place on Tuesday, in presence of her Majesty the Queen and the other members of the Royal family, old the tenantry on the Royal estates. To erect a statue of her lamented consort at no great distance from her favourite residence, and to make it over, Ls it were, to those for whom he ever held a high esteem—the tenantry—has (says the Scotsman) been t favourite idea with her Majesty, and it was fully and handsomely realised by the inauguration of Tuesday. The weather, unfortunately, was very anfavourable, being, indeed, the worst day of the season, particularly during the ceremony, w hen Lain fell in torrents without intermission. It vas by no means what we are accustomed to call " Queen's weather." In fact, it was re marked that rain fell heaviest during the time of the ceremony, and when it was over the weather cleared up, and remained fair. The attendance embraced, as stated, those resident on the estates, their wives,families, and servants, making in all, de spite unfavourable weather, some 300 persons present. The site of the statue is about half a mile to the east of the castle, on the south side of the Dee, and amost directly opposite the church of Crathie. Par ties who visit Deeside have observed on a wooded eminence, in the line we have stated, an obelisk erected by the tenantry to mark their regard for the fforth . of the Prince Consort. About a hundred yards due west from this, and on the same level, her Majesty has erected the statue to her husband. Some time ago Mr. Theed received the commission to exe mite it, and it is understood, by the suggestion of the Queen, did so in a style suited to her wishes. Certainly the artist has done his work well. his royal highness is represented in bronze as a High !and chief in full costume, something similar in many respects to the well-known painting by John Phillip. The pedestal, a rough natural cairn of huge granite boulders, tapers to a height of 10i feet, when it appears on the ledge of a rock. 011 this the figure, 13i feet high, stands. The left leg is slightly advanced, and. resting on the edge, while the right leg is slightly retired. A favoured stag aound's head is leaning against the right knee, and the right hand is placed on the dog's head. The left land grasps a rifle near the muzzle. The statue is, in fact, a reproduction of the marble statue by the same artist at the foot of the grand staircase in Balmoral Castle. The Prince is represented bare seaded, with a Glengarry cap lying at his foot. Better or more commanding sites might have been round, and to some it would suggest itself that the base might have been broader. As it stands, ►owever, with ferns growing out from the cre vices of the great boulders, it looks natural, and ,hough at some distance from the road it will form a prominent figure to passers by. Mr. Theed may bo congratulated on the completion of his successful 'abours in representing in bronze the figure of the silent father of " our Kings to be," as he was best 'known in his outgoings and incomings among his tenantry. The ceremony of unveiling the statue and pre' 3enting it to the tenantry was fixed to take place at 11, and by that hour all had assembled around it. 1 detachment of the 15th, and the depot battalion )f 40 men, under the command of Capt. Hislop, of ,he 93d, was drawn up on the south-east of the statue; while the tenantry and others formed a semi-circle on a slight ridge to the west. In the aollow, space was left close by the base of the statue jor the Queen and royal family. Shortly after the Appointed hour her Majesty arrived in a close car riage, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses rincesses Christian, Louise, and Beatrice. I n the second carriage were Prince Christian and Prince Leopold. The others in attendance were Sir Thos. Biddulph, Gen. Grey, Col. Ponsonby, Hon. Mrs. Jordon, &c. Her Majesty was received with the oyal salute, and took her place in the hollow be oween the princesses ; Prince Christian and Prince Leopold stood on their right. On the call of Dr. Robertson, her Majesty's corn .nissiouer, the Crathie choir, led by Mr. P. S. Kidd, sang the " Old Hundred," and immediately after the Rev. Mr. Taylor, of Crathie, offered a suitable Grayer. At the request of her Majesty the statue was then uncovered, the guard in attendance pre sented arms, and her Majesty's and the Prince of Wales' pipers struck up a pibroch. The spectators, notwithstanding the torrents of rain which fell luring the whole ceremony, and particularly so at this moment, looked anxiously at the statue, and few present who had seen the living figure but ad' nired its truthfulness. Dr. ROBERTSON, then advancing to where the -oyal party stood, said—" May it please your Ma jesty, the tenants and servants of your Majesty no' Assembled have requested me to convey to your \iajesty their humble and grateful thanks for the ,nagnificent memorial of their beloved master which has now been exposed to their view. Permit .re to assure your Majesty that we shall look upon chat statue, not merely as a work of art, however excellent that is—not merely as a memorial of con jugal love and affection, but as an embodiment of every noble and manly virtue—as a model for our imitation. As we look upon that silent monitor, it may wake to our remembrance the love of truth, the love of doing good, of being useful to our fellow men—it may remind us of the hatred of vice, the instinctive shrinking from everything selfish, mean, or dishonourable, which characterised the living original ; and the lesson to each of us, I hope, will be—' Go ye and do likewise.' " The military then fireda feu-de-joie, and after Mr. Kidd and his excellent choir sang the national anthem, the ceremony ended with hearty cheers, joined in by all. Her Majesty, who appeared to be in exceedingly good spirits, frequently bowed her acknowledgments. Despite the heavy rain the royal party stood, although it must be said wrier the worst possible circumstances, and during the singing of the anthem, almosi; all the spectators un covered. The Queen was dressed, as usual, in black. Princess Louise had on a black silk dress, trimmed with cord and white. Princess Beatrice wore a Stuart tartan dress, with black jacket ; and Princess Christian had ou a black dress, with Bal moral tartan plaid. Prince Leopold was in full highland costume. The arrangements, under the special superinten dence of Dr. Robertson, were admirable, and bad it not been for the very heavy rain everything w ould have passed pleasantly. The ceremony lasted fully 20 minutes, and at its close her Majesty and family guard of ghillies were photographed by special re quest by Messrs. Downey, Newcastle. By request also, Mr. Thomas, of London, attended for the par' pose of sketching the scene for her Majesty. Be fore leaving her Majesty called for Dr. Robertson/ and expressed to him her admiration of the m anner in which everything had been conducted. She als ° requested him to carry her thanks to all who ba d taken part in the ceremony. Th has b of M, vessel show Th held whole price and 3 will ri that bills c t a i ne , for tn, Th( the h cent.
