By WALTER, T 11ORNB'URY. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. MADRID, Nov. 6. On the opening of the Cortes her Majesty the Queen pronounced the following speech Gentlemen Senators and Deputies, No change has taken place in our friendly relations with the Powers of Europe since the last suspension of the labours of the Cortes. The Holy Father, ever an object of tender and profound veneration amongst all Catholics, excites my constant inte rest and my filial solicitude. I have succeeded in obtaining this point, that the Governments of those countries which are placed under his holy direction should unite to find the means of giving him, 'within his own states, that peace and security which are indispensable for the independent exer cise of his holy ministry. My sentimentq stimulate me to continue these exertions. Thus I satisfy the wishes of my subjects, who nourish in their hearts the. religious faith of their ancestors. _ _ The Paris journals of Monday contain a full and interesting report of the banquet given on Sunday, in the great hall of the Hotel dtt: Louvre, to M. Ratazzi by the editors of the Siocle, Fresse, and Opintone Nationale, which was at tended by about 120 Parisian celebrities.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cake which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. Byhis systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and .confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

Treaties having been violated and rights forgotten, my subjects having been exposed to serious attacks and continual dangers, it became indispen sable at length to make an example of salutary rigour. With this object my Government had made the neces sary preparations, when two great nations found that they had to complain of acts of violence on the part of the Mexi can authorities. Our wrongs were common ; our action should be joint. My Government desired as much. Proper steps for this purpose were at first favourable, but the re sult did not correspond with the desires of the ether two nations. Subsequently France, England, and Spain arranged toge ther to obtain that satisfaction which was due to them, and to prevent the repetition of offences which scandalised the world and outraged humanity. Thus the design will be ac complished, the execution of which has been the constant object of my government. At the proper time an account will be rendered to you of the convention which, with this object, has been signed by the representatives of the three power. That Spanish island the first discovery of which immor talised the name of Columbus forms once more a part of our monarchy. The inhabitants of St. Domingo, menaced by foreign enemies, wearied by internal disorders, invoked in the midst of its conflicts the august name of the nation to which it had been indebted for civilisation and life. It would have been unworthy of us to contemplate its suffer ings without emotion, to disown its appeal, inspired by great recollections and by an inextinguishable love for Spain. Convinced that this appeal, that these wishes were sponta neous and unanimous, I did not hesitate to welcome them, more attentive to honour than to the convenience of my people. The inhabitants of St. Domingo have seen their wishes realised. The elements of riches which their fertile soil contains begin to be developed in the bosom of profound peace, and the zeal as well as the justice of my government and of the authorities will efface the traces of past discords. The execution of the stipulations of the peace of Vad -ras which has terminated a glorious war, has met with serious difficulties. In order to remove them, the Sultan of Morocco sent to my court his brother, the Prince Muley Abbas, in quality of ambassador, and in a few days satis tory arrangements were made. The convention which will be submitted to you effects no modification of the treaty of peace. All the rights acquired by that treaty preserve their primitive force. In fixing the manner of paying the war indemnity, I have consulted the sentiments of the Spanish nation. Grave events by their tendency to alarm society have dis turbed public order in some parts of the province of Anda lusia. In order to establish peace, and to punish the authors of so criminal an attempt, it has not been necessary to resort to any extraordinary measure. My Government has left the repression of these offences to the tribunals established by law. The definitive organisation of the public administration claims a prompt inquiry, and the vote of the projects of law presented in the previous legislature. The people and the piovinces will obtain, by means of the law in harmony with their remarkable progress, that considerable share which belongs to them in the directi3n of their affairs, and in the care of their interests, but these measures will not diminish the means which authority requires to preserve public order —that prime necessity of states. My Government desires that the liberty of the press should be protected by a law which, in leaving the field open for the_expression of, thought, may repress the excess of passions.' To give certain pledges to individual liberty, by conciliat ing it with order and with the tutelary principles of society, this is the grand problem which political laws have to re solve, in order not to provoke absurb reactions or fatal dis orders. The reform of the electoral law will soon require your serious attention. The extension of the suffrage will cause every legitimate interest to be represented in Congress. Those measures which experience counsels will prevent fraud and pressure from impairing the purity of elections. The law which represses violence and fraud guarantees the free expression of public opinion. My Government will present without delay the budget of the State for the ensuing year. The produce of existing taxes will suffice to cover our ordinary expenses ; those oc casioned by the extension of public works, by the increase of the navy, and of war materials have been provided for by funds already voted. It will not, therefore, be necessary to require new sacrifices from my people. The prosperity of my colonial provinces is the constant object of my solicitude. Their administrative organisation is improved every day by institutions and reforms already preyed in the Peninsula, and which I have resolved to establish in conformity with their special requirements. We must hope that foreign events which have produced so fearful a disturbance in the industrial and commercial rela tions of the world will but momentarily affect the progres sive development of the great riches which they contain. The mission of legislators and of governments in this age of strange changes is arduous and thorny. Vain would it be to attempt to fulfil it without the assistance of God, and the practice of those virtues which render people worthy of the blessings of freedom. It is by pefirming these with perseverance, and by devoting all our efforts to the inte rests of our country, that we shall advance daily in the esteem of other powers, and that Spain will march forward protected from all disturbance, under the a3gis of constitu tional laws, to that high destiny which Providence has re.. served to her. ROYAL COLOSSETMI.—" Paper : its sources, manu facture, and various applications," is the title of a lecture now in course of delivery at the above institution by Dr. Bachhoffner, the lessee, and for so many years the principal lecturer at the Polytechnic Institution. It is impossible to fix upon a subject of more importance, or more apropos to the present period; as the abolition of the paper duty is likely to open up a new erea—if not in the trade, at least in the fibrous materials employed in the manufacture of paper. Commercially speaking, paper holds an important position as a branch of the manufactures of the United Kingdom, and was, until the last budget, a source of con siderable revenue; this will be fully apparent when we quote the doctor's figures, who stated that during the last year no less than 223 millions of pounds weight of paper was made in Great Britain and Ireland, and upon which nearly one million and z 1 half of money passed into the Ex chequer as duty. The subject was most ably treated by Dr. Bachhoffner, whose pleasant conversational style of impart ing information will be well remembered by the old fre quenters of the Polytechnic Institution. The lecture is to be given every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and will be followed, we understand, by one on cotton and its appli cations. LITTLE SWITZERLANDS.—Dotted over the map of Europe, there are sundry districts more or less known which, from some picturesque features in their respective neighbourhoods, are fondly compared by their inhabitants withrnset withhoo n a f ai g grand the a s E d Elbe b c z eoe Switzerland.rmlaabbuiondva above s i D o Ta n urheo o est f dhseennrx: ens mountain, lake, and forest muche Switzerland, ne l ee less svisited,these. on Thebt h u e t met b F a r n e not wel latal enoughless knweowrtnh;y but, t,avisit. considering The formerthe extent of t e t these which Europe is now intersected by railways, it would be difficult to mention a corner of the Continent less resorted to by t ou rists than that part of Bav ar i a i n which the other is situated. This is still more singular, since the district alluded to is coasted on two sides by railways, connecting the important cities of Frankfort, Leipzig, and Munich. The absence of English trrvellers is especially remarkable, since the well-known end interesting cities of Nuremberg and Augsburg are on the same lines of railway, and Dresden and Berlin may be reached by them. A trip from Frank fort to the east as far as the town of Bamberg, and then into the Franconian Switzerland, accomplished in a short time and at no very frightful expense, will introduce the traveller to more interesting towns and scenery than would be thought possible. Only one thing is wanting—n ame ly, a familiarity with the German language. Here and there, no doubt, in the larger towns, waiters and landlords may be may be met with who have learnt their art on the Rhine, and can practise their French and English on the usual terms, when occasion serves, in ttiese outlying districts but away from the great high-road such accomplished in dividuals are rare ; and as we gradually increase our dis tance, and approach the hills and forests, they die out alto . g rm e e th .p e rk lia. , and r their absence is sensibly felt in the bills,— tglon- "Gentlemen, I am about to propose to you a toast, which you will all receive with keen sym pathy, in honour of our illustrious guest, of M. ,Ratazzi, of the President of the Italian Parliament. " The Italian Parliament ? " These simple words comprise all the great things done in Italy—our victories, the Italian victories, the conquests of Garibaldi, the unity, the liberty, and the indepen dence of Italy,are all found united in the magnificent expression, 'The Italian Parliament !' It will be to the eternal honour of Victor Emmanuel, and of such men as Ratazzi, Cavour, and Ricasoli, that they wished, from the very first day, to place Italy, delivered from the foreigner, delivered from the tyrants who oppressed her, beneath the eyes of constitutional law. The Italians have be come citizens without ceasing to,kte the soldiers of the great cause of unity and of independence, for their task is not yet terminated; Rome and Venice are still enslaved—the one beneath an abhorred Go vernment, the other beneath the foreign domination. The Roman question has, doubtless, its complications, its difficulties. France, which has constituted her self the exclusive protectress of the spiritual Papacy, would willingly see accepted a compromise, honourable for the Pontiff, and indispensable to the interests of religion ; but all the proposals made by France are .defeated by the sacramental non pos sumus. The question must, however, be cut if it cannot be unloosed. The Emperor, who has re cognised the kingdom of Italy, cannot wish that its firm establishment should be indefinitely de ps should shield by machinations of the la th y e r d , presencea n d that h h e e Frenchunworthy r o promoters of civil wars. When, in 1859, the Em peror, deriving his inspirations from the misfortune of the Italian nation, and from the true policy of , France, resolved to arrest the progress of Austrian ambition, we lent, it may be remembered, a hearty co-operation to the chief of the State, who, to use an expression which has now becdme historical, only met with interested defections ; it is our duty to tell him of what importance it is to the • glory and to the interests of our coantry that the 1 Roman question shall be speedily solved. There exists at the present day between the Italian and French nations a fraternal solidarity. Whatever good is effected on the one side of the Alps meets , with a happy response on the other. There is not a single liberal measure adopted in France which is not of service to the Italian cause. The French Government, in dissolving associations nominally philanthropic and really political, has inflicted on Mtramontanism and on the counter revolution the defeat of a second Cas telfidardo. We are reproached with forsaking our principles, with sacrificing freedom to the spirit of party. We understand no freedom save that whieh is granted to all ; if it is the 'property of a few it changes its name—it becomes privilege. We seek no privileges ; we ask for freedom and equality before the law for all. If the honourable and learned defenders of the societies just dissolved advanced a step further in their reasoning they would reach the point of regretting likewise, from the love of liberty, the abolition of privileges and of feudal rights. If I speak of these recent differences of opinion before our illustrious guests I have no ob ject in view ; I wish to entreat our Italian friends, who are accomplishing a memorable revolution, not to imitate the faults of the Democratic and Liberal party of France, but to keep completely united against the common enemy, and to be firmly per suaded of the truth of this: maxim, ':Union is strength.' Let Italy organise her armies, her ad ministration ; let her be faithful to the admirable conduct which she has observed during these years of trial, and the triumph of her nationality, of her unity, and of her freedom is secured. I have the honour to propose to you, gentlemen, the healths of 'M. Ratazzi, the President of the Italian Par liament,' one of the most eminent statesmen of the peninsula, a sincere patriot, the framer of laws envied by all Europe ; of M. della Rocca,' the able general, who has successfully commenced the pacification of Southern Italy; of M. Nigro,' the young diplonatist who, in the most difficult circumsta:' ,7 es, has deserved by his talent and his knowled to be raised to the point of hon our which ha ; . with so much distinction. Gen tlemen, there still a mode of honouring the living. It is to show •ur gratitude and our respect to the dead. Let us, then, give the tribute of our homage to the glorious memories of Manin and of Cavour.' . M. Ratazzi returned thanks in the following ' words : " Gentlemen, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all your kind and amiable words, as well as for the wishes which you have just expressed for my country, and, in thanking you, my first thoughts turn towards the Emperor of the French, the worthy head of your generous nation. Allow me now to tell you how much I am affected by and made happy from the sympathetic receptions which I have re ceived from all in this great and noble country. It makes melhappy chiefly because this sympathy, this zeal, are addressed to Italy herself, whom it is sought to honour in one of her sons, and not to my too feeble individual merits. Yes, I shall always have before me the frank, French cordiality, the unanimous encouragements w hi c h h ave so keenly touched me, and which I shall be happy to recount .o my countrymen. Gentlemen, believe me, the feelings of af f ection and support entertained by France towards Italy find, in return, amongst the Italians the most profound attachment. Those per sons who have spoken so hastily of the ingratitude of the Italians had not given themselves the trouble to come amongst us ; they would otherwise have learned that we are richly endowed with the me mory of the heart, I love to repeat, before you all. No ! Italy will never forget what she owes to this august Emperor, who, for her sake, has braved so many dangers—who alone held out a helping hand to her at the crisis of her agony ; she will never forget the admirable soldiers who have fallen in her cause—the glorious army which has won her freedom, the gdnerous writers who have so gallantly defended her, and the French people, whose good wishes accompanied:each phase of the great enter prise of her enfranchisement. The future can only give still more force to these sentiments. At this epoch of the reconstitution of nationalities, of the grouping of sister nations, the union of the Latin race is not an idle word. Fraternally allied, as is befitting in nations of the same origin, of equal civilisation, of ideas perfectly alike, possessing the same interest in all matters, our two nations, sup ported by the sympathies of other Liberal nations, have nothing to fear from the rest of the world. Let the crisis come, and France will see how Italy understands its debt of gratitude and its duties of responsibility." 7th says—After hesitating some time, the Emperor Napo leonFßANCE AND ROME.—A letter from Turin. of the has refused to accept the propositions of M. Ricasoli, not because he does not approve of them, but because they seem to him inopportune, and he fears that they may use lessly compromise his influence. M. de Lavalette, while reassuring the Pontifical Government, will have for his mission to seize the propitious moment to withdraw the Papacy from the vicious circle of its old declaration. In not finally renouncing his hopes of a solution, M. Ricasoli therefore does not act from obstinacy, as some suppose, but has very good resaom for persevering, The following is an extra et from a letter received from the Espoir, 5, screw., Commander Douglas, dated at Lagos, Nov. 5 We have, ust arrived on our return from the expli )ring expedition up the Niger. The Prometheus is 1 jing here, inside where she got with some difficulty.. Bedingfield is senior officer protecting Lagos, wh ere we have hoisted our flag, making it a British poi session. We are ordered to Ascension to recruit health, having now 20 sick out of our crew of GO. We had a dispute in the Niger with five villages or towns, situate on each side of the stream, and known by the name of the Kjetoma. We destroyed them in about an hour, with the loss of two men on our side killed in the commander's gig. Our victory had an excellent effect on many other hostile places near the river, and rendered their chiefs and occupants exceedingly civil, except at a large town about 140 miles from the sea, sometimes termed Eboe. Here they were excessively insolent; but as the town mustered over 10,000 iahabitants, it was deemed advisable to allow their insolence to pass without notice for the pre sent. The highest point we reached in the river was a place called Onitcha. We remained there for a month. Our convoy in the meantime (the trading ship Sunbeam) went on to the confluence of the rivers, and communicated with Dr. Baikie, the Af rican explorer, who has been in this part of Africa for some years. On the . return of the Sunbeam we came down the river again as quickly as possible, and are very glad to find ourselves here, and _under orders for Ascension. We were in the Niger alto gether 81 days. Our commander is about knocked up by his cruise, and for the past week has lived, as, indeed, some others of us have done, upon a cup of arrowroot and a bit of dry toast daily." The Himalaya, screw troopship, Commander J. Seccombe, will embark to-day, at Portsmouth, the troops for Halifax and the West Indies, as already detailed in The Sun. The Firebrand, 6, paddle, Commander James M. Bruce, sailed from Spithead yesterday afternoon for the westward. The Phaeton, 50, screw, Capt. E. Tatham, remained at anchor last evening. Mr. Bonner, chief engineer, is ordered to join the ves sel prior to her departure. The Stromboli, 6, paddle, and the Vigilant, 6, screw, in the first class of the reserve at Portsmouth, are both completing their sea store of fuel for com mission. The Stromboli is reported as about to be commissioned by Capt. Wilmot, late of the Ship Ventilating Committee, for special service on the coast of Africa. Yesterday Admiral Johnstone minutely examined the Wellesley, 74, guardship at Chatham, and all the alterations in progress for adapting her to the purpose for which she is intended—that of a training ship. The number of boys now on board is 96, but as soon as the alterations are completed that num ber will be increased to 250. After inspecting the vessel the whole of the boys were assembled on the quarter-deck, where they went through the cutlass drill in presence of the Admiral. After spending nearly two hours on board the Wellesley, Admiral Johnstone proceeded to the dockyard, where he transacted business with Capt.Fanshawe,the super intendent. Orders have been received at the Convict Esta blishment, Chatham, for a party of 140 convicts to 'embark at the Nore, on board the hired convict trans port Lord Dalhousie, for Gibraltar, where they will be employed on the Government works, which are being executed at that station. A military guard, selected from the 6th Regiment, will proceed in charge of them. Yesterday, the Admiralty transport Sinbad arrived at Chatham Dockyard, from Woolwich, and landed the funnel and a portion of the machinery for the paddlewheel steamer Salamis, 4, building at Chat ham. The repairs of the screw steam frigate Emerald, Capt. A. Cumming,, at Plymouth, are ordered to be completed forthwith. She would have been placed in the basin at Keyham Steamyard yester day, but for the boisterous state of the weather. The crew of the Centurion, 80, at Plymouth, are ordered to be paid off. The ship will be placed all standing in the first division of,:the steam reserve. She is fully stored for foreign service, and will, no doubt, be recommissioned with a picked crew. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham, directing none of the gunboats belonging to the steam reserve at that port are to be reported fit for foreign service unless they have been fitted with a condenser and air pumps. THE ARM 1, Yesterday detachments of 15 non-commissioned officers and men of the 84th Regiment, together with nine men of the Glst Regiment, under the com mand of Lieut. C. T. Horan, 54th Regiment, arrived at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, from Aldershott Camp. After the troops had been inspected by the medical staff of the establishment nine were ad mitted into hospital for treatment, and the remain der sent to the St. Mary's invalid depot to await orders as to their discharge. The 34th company of Royal Engineers, which has been augmented to its full complement, received orders yesterday to proceed from headquarters, Chatham, this morning, for Portsmouth, where they will embark on board her Majesty's screw steamer Himalaya, Capt. J. Seccombe, for Bermuda. A number of the most skilled artisans and mecha nics, taken from the companies at Brompton Bar racks, have been selected under the direction of Col. Harness, C. 8., director of the Royal Engineer esta blishment, and these will also leave Chatham and embark in the Himalaya, to join the 7th company, for the purpose of being employed on the public works in progress in Nova Scotia. On the arrival of the 34th company at Bermuda, the 26th com pany, now at that island, will embark for Chatham, having completed its five years' foreign service. The baggage, arms, and accoutrements of the com pany left Chatham yesterday for Portsmouth. Each man has been furnished with a complete sea kit Lieut. R. H. Vetch will take the 34th company to Bermuda. The required number of men having been obtained for the corps of Royal Engineers, orders have been received at Chatham for volunteering from the regi ments of the Line for that branch of the service to be discontinued. The new reading-room which has been established at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, through the exer tions of Dr. Muir, C. 8., principal medical officer of the garrison, for the use of the inmates of that esta blishment, was opened yesterday for the first time, and from the number of men who visited it during the day the advantages offered appear to be highly prized. The tables are furnished with most of the daily and several of the weekly papers, forwarded chiefly by private contributors, the Earl of Darnley supplying several copies of papers at his sole ex pense. A library is also in course of formation, to consist of works of an amusing character. The detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry belonging to the Woolwich division, from the Me diterranean, landed from the Orion, 91-gun in command of Capt. Tribe, consisting of I.icuts Patrick and Mitchell, one sergeant, one corpral, one drummer, and 43 privates, were yesterday in spected on parade at Woolwich by Col. Campbell. After the inspection the Commandant expressed to Capt. Tribe his gratification with the soldierlike appearance of the detachment, and their remark ably clean and neat appearance. H 3 directed that his remarks should be inserted in the divisional order:book of the day. The following is a detail of Royal Marines form ing the main portion of the expeditionary battalion to Mexico, all of whom have embarked at Plymouth, viz., in the Sanspareil, on Saturday, 3 colonels, 5 captains, 10 lieutenants, 20 sergeants, 20 corporals, 5 buglers, and 351 privates ; total, 414 belonging to the Plymouth ; ,4yA ; 1013 ; and in the Donegal and TRE STORM" ,OF SUNDAY. - • —, ,The severe storm which moth' emir. the metro polis on Sunday morning raged with equal vio lence on several parts of the coast. The sea-going steamers which arrived in the river yesterday were several hours overdue, and report having encountered the most severe weather. The Hull steamship, which should have reached London bridge on Sunday about noon, did not come up until between 9 and 10 o'clock yesterday morning. A few miles below the Nore, a brig, called the Delta, bound for London from the Tyne, was run down by the Resolute screw steamer, which was on a passage to Goole. The brig Thomas and Eliza beth, from Sunderland, was discovered to be wrecked on Gunfleet Sands. The fate of the crew is uncer tain, nothing having been heard of them. On Sun. day, about one o'clock, the storm burst with awful fury over the Lowestoft range of coast. Several ships that were riding in the roadstead parted from their anchors. A three-masted schooner, reported to belong to Bremen, went ashore near Pakefield. The brig Confidence, belonging to Sunderland, also was stranded a short distance to the north ward of Lowestoft harbour ; the crew are reported to have been saved. The bark Undaunted, laden with. eats, from the White Sea, bound for Lon don, went ashore near the North Pier ; the crew had previously been taken out by the lifeboat of the district. A long list of casualties has been received from Bridlington. A fleet of windbound vessels were in the bay when the gale burst forth from S.E. to E. with terrific fury. Several went ashore, and many have lost spars and sustained other damage. More than a dozen coasters are re ported to have been stranded, but it is believed that some will be got off. Several, however, are stated to be wrecks. The gale was severely felt in the Downs on Sunday, and several ships slipped. SHIELDS, MONDAY FORENOON. Yesterday morning, between 5 and 6 o'clock, the weather previous to that time having been nearly calm, the wind chopped round from south to north, and then westward, a fierce gale came suddenly away from the eastward, blowing almost a hurri cane from east by south to east by north, and the sea rising on the coast with appalling fury, torrents of rain also falling. The gale reached it height about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and then gradually subsided, it being nearly calm between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening, the wind having got round by that time from the north and north-west. There were a good number of light collier vessel..l,v their passage from London off the coast between Flam- borOugh Head and the Tyne at the time the gale came away, and very great anxiety prevailed with regard to them. A large pilot steamer, the Robert Ingham, took off a number of Tyne pilots, to plan aboard those vessels, but after putting pilots aboard about a dozen vessels, she was obliged to put back to the Tyne for shelter, as the gale increased. Seve ral vessels ran for the Tyne, and got in safely. The Ivanhoe, screw steamer, from Leith to Dunkirk, put in for shelter, and a little schooner had a most nar row escape in taking the port. About 50 sail of light collier brigs have arrived from London this morning, and more are coming in. The gale took these vessels by surprise off Flamborough Head, blowing from the E.S.E. At one time, as the sea increased, it was feared that they would all go ashore together, but as the fore noon advanced the wind got more round to the southward, and the vessels effected a bet- ter offing, and so escaped. It is to be regretted that two Tyne laden brigs, which sailed on Friday week, are still missing, and the very worst sur mises are entertained with regard to the fate of them and their crews ; four or five small Yorkshire brigs also have not been heard of since the gale, and it is to be feared that they are gone as well. The wind is about south here this morning. The sea is falling rapidly on the bar of the Tyne, and a few small laden vessels have sailed for the north. The Tyne is much swollen with freshets this morning. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY, 6 P.M. To-day the gale has greatly moderated here, but a strong wind is still blowing from W.N.W., to which point it shifted last evening from S.W., the point from which the gale commenced. During the early part of the forenoon several very severe squalls of hail and rain passed over the town, but the chief force of the gale expended itself, as yesterday, in a semicircular direction from N.N.W., by the South round to East. These squalls decreased in number as the day wore on, and now they can only be detected by the intensity of the clouds along the course referred to. It is evident that we have only felt the inner edge of the gale in the immediate vicinity of the town. At Spithead it has been developed to a much greater extent, where, during the passage of the squalls, the water was lashed into a white mist by the wind, hail, and rain beating on its surface. The sky is now light away to the North, but from W.N.W. to East it looks peculiarly dark and threatening. The barometer stands at 29.78. Yesterday at this time it marked 29 30. most tolerant of men.

Outside the city a country house was levelled, as were several walls and trees on the Parioli Hills, which extend from the Porta del Popolo northwards to the Tiber. It appears that the storm, before arriving at the Vati can, passed near the Monte Testaccio, for the summit of the ancient pyramid known as the tomb of Caius Cestius was struck by lightning. The conductors of the neighbouring powder magazine also attracted the electric fluid, and the shock knocked down two soldiers on guard without damaging the magazine. Forty miltimeteres of rain fell in the course of the day, and the direction of the tempest was from the south-west, the wind known in the Mediterranean as the libeccio. Old Father Tiber immediately felt the influence of the rushing mountain torrents, and emerged from his habitual bed to inundate the lower parts of the city, giving them quite a Venetian aspect, and obliging the inhabitants to use boats to get to and from their houses. The damage at the Vatican is estimated at 20,000 scudi. The repairs on the Civita Vecchia Railway line will require several days to complete, and meanwhile our letters must be sent by vicrdi terra. \Ve have no details of the lives lost during the storm, but a distressing case is mentioned as having happened near the Colosseum. A woman and her daughter, who had taken refuge in a doorway, were both struck dead by the lightning. A party, consisting chiefly of English travellers, left Civita Vecchia by the railway on Wednesday morning, 30th ult., for Rome, but had not got more than 12 miles when they found the rails inundated. The train proceeded notwithstanding, but a sudden shock soon indicated that the line had been damaged —in fact, the locomotive sank through a broken bridge over a shallow torrent, the tender followed, and a luggage-van tumbled on the top of them, but fortunately the remaining carriages were checked by the incumbrance before them, and kept on the line. Some of the passengers got out into the water, breast high, and waded back about two miles to the wretched station of Santa Severa, where they got accommodated with straw to sleep on, and others remained in a second-class carriage, whence they were only liberated at past 10 o'clock at night by the railway authorities of Civita Vecchia. They reached Rome eventually by road conveyance, braving the torrents which had carried away most of the bridges. Lieut.-General Macintosh and Col. Caldwell, who were amongst the detenus at Civita Vecchia, tele graphed to Rome yesterday for horses. Twenty posters were despatched to their aid last night. The mail for the last two evenings has:gone round by Viterbo, and that telegraph line also is the one which has kept us in communication with Civita Vecchia. The French direct steamer from Mar seilles got in about six hours later than due on Wednesday, but the Isere, from Leghorn, did not arrive till next day, having taken shelter at Santo Stefano, where several of the passengers disem barked and came to Civita Vecchia by land. A poor Belgian third-class passenger, who had taken refuge from the storm in the hold, was stove in by some chests which got loose there. He was killed, and the Isere was, strangely enough, put in quaran tine for three hours in consequence, as if accidents were contagious. Government engineers have been sent along the Florence and Perugia roads to report on the extent of damage produced by the storm, It is said that the magnificent bridge at Civita Castellane has been partially carried away. We have little other news this week beyond the fury of the elements. A despatch is stated to have been received at the French Embassy, announcing that Gen. de Goyon will not return to Rome, and mentioning the name of his successor. The four Piedmontese Bersaglieri captured by the French on the Pope's territory, near Viterbo, have been sent back and set at liberty, after having been well treated here in the Castle of St. Angelo, and shown the lions of Rome by courteous gendarmes, the party being dressed en bourgeois. " ENCOURAGIN G" A GENERAL. Briefly, while the public service requires as the leaders of our armies such men as Nl'Clellan, Sherman, Rosecrans, Lyon, Siegel, and Sturges —skilful, vigorous, educated, and experienced officers—the crisis as sternly demands the weed ing out or retirement of all incompetent preten ders and superannuated old gentlemen. They have already sufficiently embarrassed, delayed, and defeated the plan of the Government and the expectations of the country. Look at the example of France amid all the internal distrac tions and chaos of her first experimental Republic. To put an end to her republican heresies—regarded as synonymous with anarchy and universal brig andange—the monarchical Powers of Europe, for the safety of their divine rights, formed themselves into an armed coalition. They had counted upon an easy conquest, considering the internal dis orders of the Republic; bnt they were soon con vinced of their mistake. Rising with the exigen cies of their situation, the people of France raised a million of men to arms, and very soon expelled their invaders on every side. But in the outset the guillotine made such examples of her incompetent, timid, and treacherous generals as tr teach all the others that they had but the alternative of victory or death before them. We may punish ment soon the pretty a safely faithless assume general t hat o t rhe two, and weed ing out of all incompet ent officers, old an d young, from our army , would be summary followed by the grandest results of victory. Th e l oya l St a tes of the Union are infinitely richer in all the resources, materials, and facilities for a vigorous continental war against all corners, domestic and foreign, than was the first French Republic in its day. But, conscious of our strength, we have been lazy and comparatively indifferent in regard to the desperation of our Southern rebellious conspirators. They have taught us at length that this rebellion is no child's play,land that unless we desire a protracted war, we must resolutely go to work and prune our armies of all incompetent, ignorant, shrinking, and superannuated officers and leaders, beginning at Washington.
