Disappointment has succeeded to the hopes that were formed about Italy being relieved from the horrors of war. This is to be regretted on many accounts, for the condition of European affairs is not at all so satisfactory as it might be without this new grievance starting up. At any rate the patience of the Emperor NAPOLEON has been exhausted by the uncertain state of matters, and by the perversity with which the insurgents have punned their object. The troops of the French Ex- PEROp arc now in Civita Vecchia, and Imay probably march on to Rome before very long. This most undesirable turn of affairs has been brought about by various causes, foremost among which we may mention the inability displayed by the Italian Government to restrain the force and fury of the Garibaldians. Of course they were placed in most difficult circumstances, but it would have been a very fortunate thing if they had con trived to rescue themselves and others from the awkward position in which they aro now placed. We deeply deplore the sad condition in which Italy now is, and the worst is that there seems no very great likelihood of an extrication for some time to come. The course pursued by GARIBALDI is a most misguided one, and his admirers must feel greatly concerned not only for his safety, but for the great responsibilities which he has brought on himself. It would have been a far more patrio tic course to have taken to have let things alone for some years at least, and allowed Italy to consolidate the great triumphs which she won by the war of last summer, than to have rushed heedlessly and reck lessly into a conflict of which no one can foretell the consequences, but which may probably end in ruin, defeat, and perhaps death. It would seem from the accounts that are received from Italy that GARI BALDI has worked himself up to that pitch of excite ment and enthusiasm when men cease to reason, and forget to judge calmly and collectedly. The consequence of this unwise resolve on his part will be felt for many a long day to come, and at no period could they be more untoward than at present on account of the complications in Germany, and the great responsibility that rests on France. The Emperor NAPOLEON has, indeed, fallen on evil days of late, and the long course of unbroken success that had attended the enterprises of his eventful reign seems to have changed into darker and more fitful states of fortune, but no one can deny that his present position is a most unenviable one. Whatever he had done in this Italian busi ness there would have been found many to declare that he was wrong, and to have adduced many potent arguments to show that it was so, and that their deductions were quite correct. Now he is in this dilemma, that on one side he is called upon to keep his pledge, and on the other he must crush, or seek to crush, the very race whose freedom he was mainly instrumental in procuring. At the same time it must be borne iu mind that NAPOLEON has shown no readiness to rush to extremities. He allowed things to take their course for some time before he came to a decision about his own time of action, and even now he would doubt less be glad to meet the Italian Government half way ; but the danger exists in the fact that the Italians are not likely to make the best of things, or to put anything like a favourable interpretation upon the policy he has pursued. No doubt much of the evil that we now deplore, and that we appre hend fir the future, might have been avoided if the September Convention had been better framed; but as they stood, it was lveilnigh impossible for the French EmPEttow, to act otherwise. In the wad excitement that now prevails it is quite idle to expect that this will be recognised, and by this time the word will have gone forth that the Emperor NAPOLEON has sided with the oppressors of Italian liberty. It would seem as if an evil in fluence pervaded the nations of the Continent just now, for no sooner does one think that any par ticular kingdom or community has gained sAid and lasting advantage than forthwith it is again en vironed by doubts, and overshadowed by misfor tune. It was the one salient po'nt in the THE SUN, LON DON, MONDAY EVENING, OC TOBE it 28, 18.67 late war in Germany that Italy was made free, and those who then rejoiced in that happy issue must now mourn the adverse turn that events have taken. It is of course impossible for GARI BALDI said his forces to gain the day over French troops, and the next news will very likely be that the brave but infatuated chief has met his death or been made prisoner. The aspect of affairs is in deed discouraging, and all the more so on account of the promised change for the better which was given to us last week—a respite that has turned out to be as brief as it was illusory for all the im portant interests concerned in the matter. The North German Parliament has ended its brief session, and it may be noticed that these assemblies in Germany aro seldom allowed a very long tenure. Perhaps it would not be politic to let them have too much space for action, and too many opportunities for reflection afforded to them ; but be that as it may, we no sooner think that they are in the full swing of their work than forthwith comes the news of its suspension and stoppage. The speech of King WILLIAM on the occasion was much the same as usual in such transactions, and expressed the amount of self-satisfaction that ap pears eternally to pervade the minds of Prussian authorities when they take a retrospective glance at their policy. After making a flourish about the success of the Federal Budget, the liability to mili tary service, and so on, the KING is obliged to confess a practical failure in respect to the Treaty relative to the continuation of the Zollverein to the Southern States. That is not yet assured, but no indication of a compromise is shown in this discourse. On the contrary, his MAJESTY declares that the "indispensable reform of the constitution of the Zollverein must not be sacrificed to temporary difficulties." Previous to the delivery of the Royal Speech Count BISMARCK stated at the morning sitting the position of affairs with respect to the Zollverein Treaty with the Southern States. He said that the Government had hoped that these States would not withdraw from the Federal treaties, but that the intelligence they had received made them think that the Prussian Parliament would reject the Treaty. He concluded with the significant intimation that if the new Treaty were not accepted, notice would be immediately given of Prussia's withdrawal from the old Treaty. This does not look very promising at any rate ; but it was out of all character for the Berlin Go vernment to suppose that every State would bow down to their behests, no matter how oppressive their propositions were, and how little calculated to serve the interests of those upon whom they forced them. There are, perhaps, few national characteristics of which an Englishman is more justly proud than the courage and readiness which his seafaring countrymen have always exhibited in the dangers incident to their profession. More especially does ho congratulate himself on the daring humanity which has won for the sailors on many parts of our exposed and dangerous coasts so wide a reputation. Every year, as the mournful lists of wreck and disaster tell the sorrowful history of the tempests of the year, the general regret is in some degree mitigated by the records of successful bravery, which show at the same time how much more grievous would have been the in telligence without the prompt assistance often rendered at great risk to life and limb. It is there fore somewhat mortifying to find that our French neighbours think they have good reason to complain of the manner in which some of these services are rendered, and that so far from regarding the Eng lish salvors of property as worthy of imitation, they think it would be well for us to copy their maritime legislation so as to put some check on the greed and officiousness of selfish and interested assistants. It is worth while to examine a little into the nature of these Charges. It must be remarked at the outset that the com plaints made have no reference whatever to the agents of that National Institution for saving life and property from disasters at sea that has been so warmly applauded, and even closely imitated by the French themselves. The salvors, of whom complaints are made, are those men on our coasts who take up the business of saving property from shipwreck, of assisting ships in danger, &c., as a means of livelihood, often running great risk and" undergoing considerable hardships, it is true, but doing so entirely as a matter of business, with a view to personal profit. In the current number of the Lifeboat we find an interesting article, very fairly and temperately written, from which it ap pears that our Continental neighbours regard this question of salvage as a very great grievance to their smaller shipowners. The Committee of Underwriters of Paris have lately issued a circular complaining that on the English coasts the violent proceedings of the salvors of property contrast strangely with the admirable arrangements for the persons of shipwrecked sailors, and that assistance in danger often results in spoliation and the pillage of property. " The least service rendered to a vessel in danger gives rise to exorbitant pretensions, and degenerates into exaction. The pilot trans forms himself into a sailor for having simply ful filled an act of his profession. Thus our captains dread almost as much as the rocks the uncontrol lable auxiliaries who would impose themselves on them, and the calling of salvage approaches to piracy." The Paris underwriters declare that so often are the smaller vessels trading between France and England the victims of these extortioners that they refuse to insure them, not doing so from fear of the storms and rocks, but of the English salvors. A French pamphlet recently published in Paris, and afterwards endorsed by the " Socidtd Centrale de Sauvetage des Naufrages," enters very fully into the matter, and, after comparing the laws of France and England on the subject, speaks very strongly of the bad working of the appeal to the High Cou:t of Admiralty. If the salvors have to do with a foreign captain, whom they suppose not to be able to provide a deposit or to find a surety in the port, they do not hesitate to claim over £2OO in order to reserve the power of carrying the case to the Admiralty Court, " which entails on the master the seizure of his vessel, the interruption of his operations during several months, and the accumulation of enormous expenses." It is true that the claimants run the risk of having to pay the expenses them selves ; but this seldom restrains them, because they have in many ports a common fund, out of which such laises are pail, and besides they know very well that a threatened appeal to the Admiralty Court will speedily effect a compromise. The ad vice of the Committee of Underwriters in Paris is that " even if the success of a suit in the Admiralty Court were certain it would still be more prudent and more economical to effect a compromise, at whatever cost, rather than to have recourse to that tribunal." The consequence is that while the French salvors, in disputed cases,:are thankful to receive one twenty-fifth part of the value of the cargo in England, " the indemnity sometimes ex ceeds the half of the value of the ship and cargo." Such are the charges thus deliberately brought, and in part at least subststntiated, by our French neigh bours, and certainly iu face of such accusations the matter demands attention on the part of our autho- rities. The organ of the National Lifeboat Institution, while defending the English sailors generally from the accusations of violence, admits that their claims are often extortionate, and sums up very succinctly the difficulties of the case. The writer of the article in question says, very sensibly, that it is useless to appeal, as the French writers do, to the " duty of humanity and confraternity," or to expect men in following their business to be actuated by chivalrous motives, but he thinks that some legislation might be wisely directed to re strain them. lie says Ist--That they as a body possess a monopoly, and make their own estimate of the value of their services ; 2d, The majority of the vessels they assist belong to the coasting trade, whose masters and owners are mean enough to depreciate the danger they have escaped from as soon as it is past; 3d, Their profits are uncertain, and the proceeds of one service often has to maintain the men and. their families for weeks ; 4th, The profession is overstocked and the men are improvident. The difficulty of legislative interference is very great, from the fact of the only witnesses being parties immediately concerned, and in the terms of the Act much margin is left for the decision of the adjudicator. So vast aro the interests engaged from the extent of our maritime traffic that the question is growing in importance every year, and unless some reform is instituted the grievance will increase rather than diminish. If the machinery of our naval courts were less tedious and cumbrous in its action, they would be a protec tion instead of a threat to the shipowner in the case of exorbitant demands, and we hope that the spring session of Parliament will not be allowed to pass without the matter being looked into. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. It is hardly necessary to say that much agitation has been created in Paris by the ominously important announcement in the Moniteur that, in consequence of fresh attempts by The revolutionary bands to in vade the Pontifical territory, the Emperor has re voked the orders which he had given to suspend the embarcation of the troops assembled at Toulon for Italy. The information received by the Go vernment from Rome led to the assembly of a Cabinet Council at St. Cloud, immediately after which orders were transmitted to Toulon for the embarcation of the troops before enu merated. The squadron left Toulon, yesterday morning at six o'clock. The news received officially from Rome and Forence is to the effect that a body of about 1,000 Garibaldians bad attacked Viterbo and set fire to the gates of the city. They were, howover, vigorously repulsed by the Pontifical troops, who captured a considerable quantity of arms, munitions, and carriages. The population of Viterbo did not at all sympathise with the Gari baldians. Rome was tranquil. According to accounts from Terria Garibaldi had overpowered the Pontifical troops at Monte Rotondo and taken possession of three cannon. The efforts of the Garibalbians against Rome had hitherto entirely failed. The Deputy Cairoli, who, with a few partisans, had endeavoured to enter Rome, was killed, and one of his brothers wounded. The dis turbances which took place at Rome on the 22d inst. are described still as of an insignificant charac ter. The Garibaldians lost 103 prisoners, and the chiefs of the insurgents among that number are to he tried befor a Council of War. Some depots of arms were discovered. The above news may be considered as authentic. There is no lack of exciting narratives emanating from the insurgent party, who report that popular manifestations continued to be made in many cities of Italy. Turin, Naples, Venice, Brescia, accord ing to these versions, have declared in opposition to the Pope. At Naples the prefect of the province, General Durando, replied to an address presented to him that the people might rely upon the patriotic firmness of the Government of Victor Emmanuel. At Florence the King himself, in answer to an address signed by some thousand persons, assured the gentlemen by whom it was presented, that they might assure their fellow-citizens that they might place full confidence in him, and that he had never paid any attention either to in sults or threats. In conclusion, his Majesty said— " Believe that soon, by wise resolutions, our object will be attained. Assure your fellow-citizens that Rattazzi has always been a true patriot and my friend. Let them wish him well, for he deserves it. Let Italians remain calm and confident. Let them repose faith in me, and we shall soon see the open ing for us all of an era of felicity, and the wishes of the nation will be realised. When Parliament shall assemble, I will make arrangements for it to occupy itself with the army and navy, the good condition of which is inseparable from that of the nation. But let there be a short truce to your generous en thusiasm, and be assured that it pains me to arrest it." The Italia of Naples asserts that the bands of Menotti Garibaldi and Salomon° have descended from the mountains of Nerola and Palestina, and have effected a junction near Tivoli, where two ang u i o na rplace. This report seems anotherversion thk o o fprevious accounts. s tb y e engagements Garibaldi effected his escape from Caprera under singular and rather romantic circumstances. On the loth ho observed concealed in the grass a very small boat, a sort of cockleshell used by Italian sportsmen to shoot in the fens. This boat was so small that Garibaldi could carry it himself under his cloak, and he placed it in a solitary part of the island, determined to trust himself on the sea with it upon the first opportunity. In the evening, the weather being calm, and favoured by a fog, Gari baldi got into his boat, remembering, as he has since said to his friends, that the Indians often navigate in such a canoe. In three hours Garibaldi reached the Maddalena, where some friends were waiting for him. They had a difficulty about the sentinels at Maddalena, but he and his friends re solved to make for the coast of Sardinia. When they arrived in the environs of Terranuova horses were procured with some difficulty ; and Garibaldi, in spite of the fatigue of the preceding night, reached without stopping in 17 hours the northern point of Sardinia, and arrived on the morning of the 18th at Porto-Torres, where without being re cognised he procured a small fisherman's boat and took the helm himself. In two days Garibaldi and his friends arrived at Torre-di-Vado, a small fishing station near Leghorn. Ho soon reached the Roman frontier, and arrived at Florence on the night of Sunday last, and proceeded directly to the house of a friend. In the course of this difficult enterprise Garibaldi was recognised by a brigadier of Cara bineers, who telegraphed to the authorities that the agitator had been seen in a cart on the route to Pisa. This cart Garibaldi had borrowed from a peasant who was disposed to aid his escape. The review on Friday was peculiarly magnificent. It was perhaps the most splendid sight ever seen, but it was one not susceptible of minute descrip tion, its brilliancy striking the sight as it were in a moment. Imagine an assemblage of troops to the number of 50,000, the sun shining with remarkable splendour upon their beautiful uniforms, and its rays being reflected also from the brass c in non and glittering swords and bayonets. In addition to this vast assemblage of soldiers something like a million of spectators were present, and there were end less lines of carriages. The troops consisted of 57 bat talions, 57 squadrons, and 16 batteries. They were under the general command-in-chief of Marshal Can robert. Marshal Count Regnaud de St. Jean d' A.ngely commanded the troops of the Imperial Guard. Much attention was excited by the 13 bat talions of General Douay, recently returned from Mexico. According to the judgment of those per fectly competent to forum an opinion, all the mnamio)uvres and evolutions were performed with consummate skill and precision. All the regiments were armed with the Chassepot gun. The Emperor Napoleon arrived on the ground, accompanied by Marshal Niel, Marshal Bazaine, and a brilliant staff. The Emperor of Austria came with his two brothers, the Duke de Leuchtenberg, and Prince Napoleon. Never were more hearty or more enthusiastic accla mations, oftentimes repeated. The general attend ance upon the Emperor of Austria included Baron de Beust, and many other eminent personages. General Fleury, Grand Master of the Horse, was particularly noticed among those in close attendance upon the Emperor Napoleon. He is a remarkably fine man, and looked every inch a soldier. In the Imperial Tribune, before which the troops defiled, were the Empress Eugenie, the Queen of Holland, the Prince Alexander, her son, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Clotilde, and the Prince and Princess de 'Metternich. The bands played admirably. One very remarkable feature of this great spectacle was that at a review of a French army one of the airs played amidst general enthusiasm was " Rule Britannia." This was probably in compliment to the presence of the Duchess of Cambridge. I mentioned at the time it occurred the particulars of the murder of a Mons. Duguet, whose body was afterwards cut to pieces, and the mutilated portions of it found in the Seine and the canal St. Marten. A man named Avinain has been tried for the murder before the Court of Assize of the Seine, found guilty, and sentenced to death. The motive was robbery. The deceased, who attended the markets, had often large sums of money about him, and the evidence left no doubt that the prisoner first robbed, then murdered him, and cut the body into pieces. L&TEST INTELLIGENCE, (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE ROMAN QUESTION. PARIS, Oct. 28. The Moniteur of this morning says—" Despatches from Monte Rotondo state that the Pontifical gar rison remained masters of this place after two suc cessive assaults upon the part of the Garibaldians. It is believed that, leaving Monte Rotondo behin 1 him, Garibaldi has taken the direction of Rome. A Pontifical column, detached from the garrison of Rome, is advancing to meet his bands. The Moniteur also publishes the treaty of com merce and navigation concluded on the 29th July, 1867, between France and the Pontifical States. FLORENCE, Oct. 26, 2 30 p.m. Garibaldi has been victorious at Monte Rotondo. Three cannon were taken. An attack on Rome is expected. The Papal troops are greatly fatigued. The Pope is in Castel Angelo. The Ministry is not yet formed. PROCLAMATION OF THE KING OF ITALY. FLORENCE, Oct. 27, Evening. The following proclamation of King Victor Em manuel to the Italian people has just been issued in this capital : " Italians,—Bands of volunteers, excited and seduced by a party without my authorisation or that of my Government, have violated the frontier of the State. The respect equally due by all citi zens to the laws and international stipulations sanc tioned by Parliament and by me, under these serious circumstances, prescribes an inexorable debt of honour. " Europe knows that the flag raised in territories adjacent to ours, and upon which is inscribed destruction to the supreme spiri tual authority of the Head of the Catholic religion, is not mine. This attempt places our cora mor. country in the most serious danger. It im poses upon me the imperious duty of saving at the same time our honour and the country, and of not confounding in one two causes absolutely distinct, two different objects, " Italy must be secured against the dangers she may run. Europe must be convinced that, faith ful to her engagements, Italy does not desire to be, and cannot be, the disturber of public order. " A war with our ally would be a fratricidal war between two armies who have fought for the same cause. A® holder of the right of peace or war, I cannot tolerate its murpation. I feel confident, therefore, that the voice of reason will be listened to, and that the Italian citizens who have violated that right will promptly withdraw behind the line of our troops. " The dangers which disorders and rash schemes may create amongst us must be appeased by main taining the firm authority of the Government and the inviolability of the laws. The honour of the country is in my hands, and the confidence the na tion has shown in me during the saddest periods cannot fail me. 'When calm shall be restored to men's minds, and public order shall be fully re established, according to the vote of Parliament, my Government, in agreement with that of France, will endeavour, with all loyalty, to make a practicable arrangement calculated to put an end to the serious and important Roman question. "I have had, and always shall have, confidence in your wisdom, as you have had in the affection of your King for this great country, which, thanks to our common sacrifices, we have at last restored to the number of nations, and which we must hand down entire and honoured to our children." The proclamation is signed by the King and all the Ministers. The new Ministry is formed as follows : General Meuabrea takes the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, with the presidency of the Council ; Signor Gual terio, Interior ; Signor Cambray Digny, Finance ; Signor Cantelli, Public Works ; General Bertole Viule, War; Signor Mari, Justice. Until the com plete formation of the Cabinet General Menabrea will also assume the ad interim direction of the Ministry of the Marine, Signor Cambray Digny of Agriculture, and Signor Cantelli of Public Instruc tion. PLYMOUTII, OCt. 28. The Royal Mail steamship Atrato, from the `Vest Indies, is reported off here, and is expected to arrive about noon. FRANCE. The Naples journals state that the Archbishop of that city was a few days robbed of his cloak while proceeding in his carriage to one of the city churches to administer confirmation. The journals announce the death of the Countess Danner, morganatic wife of the late King of Den mark, Frederick 11. The Meridional of Avignon states that the small-pox is at present raging in that city, and asks if vaccination ought not to be made in every case compulsory. A large manufacturer at St. Brice (Marne), named Lefevre, is providing his workmen with bread at the rate of 2fr. 50c. the twelve pounds, or 50 centimes under the price at Paris.

MANSION-HOUSE. DISTRESSING CASE.—Thomas Sutton, a cabman out of employment, was charged before the Lord Mayor, in the Justice-room, at the Mansion-house, with having stolen 221bs. of beef, the property of Mr. Leigh, a butcher, in Leadenhall-market. Simmons, 141, City police, stated that in conse quence of the numerous meat robberies in Leaden hall-market he was on duty there, when he saw the prisoner go to a butcher's (Mr. Leigh's), and take down a piece of beef and walk off with it. He took it down from the hook, and witness fol lowed him, and asked him where he was going to take it. He said "Home." 'Fitness then said that he must go back with him to the shop, as he suspected him of having stolen it. He then said that the constable was right, and that he had taken it. Witness then took him into custody. He searched him and found on him a knife, and stated that he resided at 6, C hequier court, which was correct, - and he found that he was married. The officer knew nothing about him. The beef weighed about 221bs. the shopman to Mr. Leigh having identified the beef, the prisoner stated that it was poverty that forced him to it. He had not done any work or made any money for eleven months. Alderman Wilson had taken his license away from him when he was a cabman for being drunk. He had never had a scratch upon it for ten years, and although he had applied to have the decision reversed it had not been been granted, and the commissioners would not renew his license until he got a letter from Alderman Wilson. The Lord Mayor said it was a hard ease, but stealing would not improve it. He would remand him till Saturday. THAMES. INGENIOUS SIIUGGLING.—CaroIine Belville, alias Granville, a young lady, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with smuggling 2i lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco and cigars, which had not paid duty. Mr. Thomas Edward Mogg, examining officer of customs, said that he was engaged in over-hauling the luggage of the passengers in the Schwan, a German steam-ship, from Bremen, yesterday morn ing. The prisoner was one of the passengers. He examined a very large box or chest which belonged to her, and asked her if she had anything liable to duty. She replied in broken English that she had nothing about her, or in the box that was contra band. He examined the goods in the prisoner's box, and among them was a feather pillow and a bag tied up very tight. He opened the pillow, and discovered a pound of cigars and a pound and a half of foreign manufactured tobacco, mixed up with the feathers. The pillow had been ripped up to admit of the introduction of the cigars and to bacco, and sewn up again. The prisoner, in defence, said she was a foreigner and ignorant of English laws. She did not know anything about the cigars and tobacco. She did not smoke or chew. Mr. Benson—Very likely ; but you are accused of concealing the tobacco and cigars. The prisoner said a friend put them in the pillow. Mr. Benson said the smuggling was done so in geniously that he must fine the prisoner 205., which was double the value and duty of the tobacco and cigars, which her friend ought to pay for her, if her statement was true. The prisoner smiled, handed the fine to Roche, the gaoler, and asked the magistrate for the tobacco and cigars. Mr. Benson—They are forfeited to the Crown— to the Queen of England. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. THE 'KNIFE AGAlN.—llenry Smith, an elderly man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with beg ging, and also with wounding Samuel Buckley, a tailor, residing at No. 35, Marshall-street, Golden square. The Prosecutor said—On Saturday night about 9 o'clock I went into the Bird-in-Hand Tavern, Oxford-street,with my wife, and while there prisoner came in and begged, and because the persons there would not give him anything he set to abusing them. I told him that he ought to be ashamed of himself, and had a few words with him, when he seized me, got me out of the house and dawn on the pavement, falling on the top of me, and on my afterwards getting up I found that my hand had been cut and was bleeding. A constable took me to the Middlesex Hospital, and the surgeon there bound up my hand. Richard Stevens, a young man living in Crown court, Soho, said—While in the Bird-in-Hand Tavern onSaturday night I saw the prisoner come in and beg, and the prosecutor said he had quite enough to do to keep his own family, and the pri soner then began to abuse him and there were a few words between them. The prisoner then took a knife off a plate on the counter, and seized the prosecutor, and pushed him out of the house, and fell on him, and when the prosecutor got up I saw the blood spurt from his hand. George Hartley, of Sutton-street, Soho, after giving similar evidence, said that he saw the knife, which belonged to the landlord of the tavern, picked up where the prosecutor had been thrown down on the pavement by the prisoner. Police-constable Wilt, 67 C—l took the prisoner into custody, and on the knife being picked up the prisoner said that it did not belong to him, and that he had one of his own. The prosecutor at that time was smothered with blood, and was taken to the hospital to have his hand dressed. Mr. Tyrwhitt having cautioned the prisoner, asked him if he wished to say anything. The prisoner said that he certainly begged in the house, but all the persons there were drunk. The constable said that the prisoner was himself drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. WESTMINSTER. CAUSE AND EFFECT.—Joseph Lloyd, a very re spectable-looking man, was charged before Mr. Selfe with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Police-constable Hanrahan, 189 B, said that on Saturday evening he found the defendant drunk and incapable in Rochester-row, and conveyed him to the station. Defendant—l remember perfectly well going into a house at the end of Rochester-row for refresh ment. I was there illused by somebody, and really hardly know how I got into the street, where, it seems, I fell. Mr. Selfe—They say you were drunk, which may account for your not having very clear views upon the subject. Defendant—l really must assure you that there is a mistake somewhere in that respect. Mr. Selfe—Then you were not drunk? Defendant—Drunk ! No, sir, certainly not. I had only had six glasses of ale. Mr. Selfe—Only six glasses of ale. If you were used to Westminster ale you would have a different opinion of the effects of six glasses of ale. We hear of people getting drunk upon less than that fre quently. Defendant—lt was insensibility, not drunkenness. After I was ill4reatcd I fell, and they took that to be drunkenness. Mr. Sdfe—So it seems. Defendant—But it really was not so. 3lr. Selfe--It's quite clear that you have mistaken cause for effect, and must take the consequences. Your drunkenness made you fall. It has that awk ward tendency. You are fi:ied 55., or five days. Liverpool Cotton Market. —This Day. Market opens quietly, lint unchanged. S a k i probably 10,000 or 12,000 bales. E ACCIDENT TO Mu. E. GREAVES, L.II'M.P.

PRINCE AND PRINCESS CHRISTIAN.—On Satur day morning, about 11 o'clock, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstoin ar rived at the Great Western Railway nearly at the samo time as the Prince of Wales. The Prince and Princess, with their infant son and suite, left Ballater on Friday, and travelling express on the London and North-Western lino proceeded southward to the Kensington station; thence their Royal Highnesses travelled over the Great Western Railway to Windsor, and drove on reaching the station to Frogmore-house, their residence in Windsor-park, where they await the arrival of the Queen from Scotland. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Lady Gera:dine Somerset and Lord Frederick Paulet, arrived last evening at Cambridge Cottage, Kew, from Paris. The Duke and Duchesss of Grafton will receive a shooting party at Euston Hall, Thetford, during the present week. The Duke of Cambridge is expected to be among the guests. The Earl and Countess of Dudley are expected to arrive at Dudley House, Park-lane, early in the week from Paris, and then go to Buekenham, Brandon, Norfolk, for shooting. The Duke of Buccleuch has left Montague House, Whitehall, for Scotland. The Duchess and the Ladies Margaret and Mary Scott remain in town. The Earl and Countess Spencer arrived at Spencer louse, St. James's, on Saturday, from Paris. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough have been entertaining a select party at Blenheim during the past week. HOLBORN THEATRE. On Saturday last a new extravaganza, entitled " Mary Turner, or the Wicious Willin and Wic torious Wirtue," was produced here, and met with complete success. The piece is a broad burlesque on the adventures of Don Caesar de Bazan, and although the subject might at first appear rather an uninviting one for a burlesque, yet Mr. Burnand has so twisted and twirled the original that he has succeeded in producing a very laughable and thoroughly comic entertainment. Miss Saunders impersonates the ." Wicious Willin," Don Jose, Miss Jenny Wilimore Don Caesar, Miss Fanny Josephs Maritana, Mr. Mon tague the King, and Mr. Robins the boy Lazarrillo. The weight of the piece falls on Miss Saunders and Miss Josephs, but they are both equal to the occasion, and by their mock heroics and nigger break downs they keep the audience in the merriest mood during its perform ance. The scenery, dresses, and appointments are more than ordinarily brilliant, the concluding tableau being quite equal in dazzling splendour to the grand transformation scenes, which now are looked upon as the great feature in our Christmas pantomimes. The principal performers were all called before the curtain at the termination of the burlesque, and from the applause with which they were received a long and succe-sful " run " may safely be predicted for the new entertainment. The new drama, " For Love," now that the actors have settled down into their parts, " goes" remark ably well, the great scenes "Eastward Ho" and " The Sinking of the Ship Syren" being quite sufficient to secure the success of a piece of much less merit than Mr. Robertson's latest production. The house was crowded in every part. MA.COABE' 6 EN rEit VAINMENr. The versatile Frederick Maccabe is attracting very large audiences at the Egyptian Hall. His entertainment is undoubtedly one of the best of its kind, abounding as it does with song, anecdotes, and characters of the most pleasing description. Miss Mary May is as attractive as ever, and if this assumption of character was the only one in the entertainment it would be worth witnessing on account of the rapidity with which Mr. Maccabo undergoes the transformation. A number of novelties have been introduced into the entertainment not the least of which is the very laughable one of Sir Rowland the Ruff 'u n. Thus a double pleasure is in store for those who have not honoured Mr. Macc:tbe with a visit, and a new one for those who have already attended the , entertainment. RIMINI'S MAGIC. A new professor of magic has opened his temple of necromancy, at the Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly. M. Rubini comes to the metropolis with a good continental and provincial reputation, and with him he brings a number.of new experiments which seem calculated to render him a great attraction. His tricks are all cleverly and neatly performed, and if some of them have not the air of novelty about them, they lose nothing by their repetition. Rubini concludes his entertainment by a very clever trick, viz., cutting off a lady's head, and then replacing it again with out the object of the dread experiment seeming at all the worse for the operation. Rubini's magic.tt entertainment is well worth a visit. FATAL SHIPWRECKS. HOLYHEAD, Sunday. Two lamentable shipwrecks have occurred off this coast. The Earl of Chester, Capt. Mancollis, from Liverpool on Friday last for Madras, with a general valuable cargo, 462 tons, met with a severe storm on Saturday night, and became a complete wreck, two miles from Ty Croes. All bands, supposed to be 14 to 18, have perished. At dawn a corpse, supposed to be that of the captain's wife, was washed ashore. Capt. Jones, Lloyd's agent (Customs), was instantly on the spot. The Coastguard mortar apparatus arrived too late to be available. Two or three large vessels, which were seen in company' , are supposed to have got clear or stranded in Car" narvon Bay. Also, the Triumph, Capt. Bray, 235 tons, from Liverpool for Maranham on Friday, Wit h general cargo, lost anchors and 75 fathoms of c able, on Sunday morning, off Holyhead. She dragged and: stranded under Tremadoc, and became a total wreck. All hands, 12 in number, were saved ill small boats.
