The grand Italian Boat—disfigure at the top with a wood deal of German leaVderinct shining so conspicuously about the - middle (just, in fact, at the—" in-step !") with a considerable amount of French polish !—and pin c hi ng so very frightfully, be it said oven excruciatingly, d own to the very utnao3t tip of the notable Neapolitan toe ! Whew ! there is a faint sense of relief at last, however, in tb.e little modicum of wish. drawal we have just spoken of—die withdrawal, to the extent of a hairi's-breadar or so on the map of Europe, of the big Austrian splaw foot hitherto thrust inexorably into the Boot from the Cixpl thians down to the Po ! The troopers c F.R.IXCIS JOSE/13, we are told thrng:: , .advic2s from P.Jaae dated the 30tinidt. and pubiis'aed in the ,Voibit.eui• of yesterday, have at length recrossed that river and taken the direction. of P a d ua . Th e y h ave been replaced by the 21 Swiss Regiment in the serviee of the SOVEREIGN I'ONTIFF: ' Ancona and Bologna being at last, nowadays the only two points in the States of th e Church held in posse - s sion by the soldiers of. 'th e R ED E 3dt EROR. SO - the Papal States at '.east are relieved from :a little pressure. The exp arises of the. Papal Go vernme at are ia sane slig'it measure therthy, diminishe d. resio r ; d The I` pal Constk.ution, as it i., to a somewhat freer enjoyment of its rights and privileges. Except at Ancona and Bologna the Papal stAjects are left to the Holy Father— and the French Army of Occupation ! A move ment, however small—this--in the right direction. A movement (notwithstanding its smallness) so unmistakeably in that direction, that the friends of Italy may really begin to breathe a little more pleasurably the atmosphere of Hope, and to look forward to the time when nobody, save and ex cepting the Italian himself, shall any more have— put his foot in it ! Have put his foot in the glorious Boot of Italy—the Boot with its loos• sened tassel in Corsica and Sardinia, its calf swelling into the Adriatic from San Marino to Ascoli, its heel at Otranto, and its toe just quietly tipping Sicily from the Gulf of Taranto into the Mediterranean. 0 for the time when we can look for the happiness and comfort of a good fit for the Italians themselves ! For the Italians and no other than the Italians ! When the Boot shall pinch nowhere—instead of (as at present) everywhere ! When it shall be no longer botched and cobbled by a variety of foreign and bungling CRISPINS —but resume its own original and intrinsic completeness ! When neither Frenchman nor German shall undertake in its regard the experi ments of an inefficient and inexperienced tyro in the art, instead of those evidencing the skill and practice of a genuine Master-Cordwainer ! At any rate, here at length is something like a beginning in the great labour of renovation. The Austrians have at last withdrawn in the direction of Padua —they have re- crossed the Po—they have left in the Papal States, as the latest vestige of 'their odious army of occupation, a few troops at An cona, and a few more at Bologna. So far so good. Better things, let us hope, will follow. Among those better things the ultimate evacua tion by the Austrian soldiers, both of Bologna and Ancona, preparat)ry to the withdrawal of the French troops from Rime, and to the perfected development of those liberal institutions which Pope Pius the Ninth was himself the one, as far back as 1846 (just ten years from the present time), or at any rate as long ago as the beginning of 1847, to inaugurate. Please Gon, the good day will come in the fulness of time to the Romans, and ultimately to the whole race of the Italians. Political freedom —commerce—railways —manufactures—improved agriculture—revived arts—and, to sum up all in a single phrase, general regeneration. Ruin ! Ruin ! nothing but ruin for Old Eng land. The new Joint-Stock Companies Act came into operation on the 3d ; it ought to have been on the anniversary of Gunpowder Treason and Plot, for, our capitalists being judges, the sun of England's commerce has passed its meridian, and will now rapidly set, of course to rise no more. The Ruin to follow the Reform Bill, and, above all, Free Trade, are nothing to the crash which now impends ; little capitalists are now as free to combine as great ones, and we await but one step more, the abolition of the Threadneedle-street monopoly, and then it will be the Deluge indeed. Well, we shall see ; from the days of Lord ELDON to the present hour we have become so hardened by such prophecies that we are now downright sceptics. The plaints of the privileged of every class fall unheeded on our ears. We verily be lieve that if the old Corporation of London were dying, and its moans echoed along the Thames, we should take our boat to London-bridge as uncon cernedly, and enjoy such fresh air as wind and tide permitted, with as much pleasure, as if the glory of London were not breathing its last. Afflictions, all Divines agree, harden us if they do not soften us ; and we have in the course a our public life attended so many funerals of pro tested and privileged bodies, and vested abases, and seen earth, sea, and sky still where they were, and the political and commercial world flourish so ungratefully on the ruins of monopoly, that we have forgotteh to sigh at the sight and sound of the mourners. However, the new companies (Limited) will start just now with a heavy discount clog on their movements. Limited, both they and many others will find themselves, whether they like it or not ; and yet, strange to say, there is a good deal of money seeking safe investment. Two great un dertakings have this week attracted our own attention; one we would beggar if we could, in the interest of European peace, and of our readers pockets ; the other we would, if purposing invest ment, certainly look into as worthy of regard on public grounds, and we should think on its pecu niary merits also. Percentage is, we know, the inevitable barometer of these matters ; yet there are some things into which, however profitable, many an Englishman would say —not a penny of mine shall go into it. Such a project we conceive Russian railways to be ; anti as just the reverse, both commercially and patriotically, we regard our Indian railways. Russia is now demanding of civilised Europe 80111 e 40,009,000/, of its money, at the rate of 4,000,000/. per annum. We hope she may never get it. We believe it stands a good chance of being half lost. If she borrowed the money as a loan, and stipulated for 5 per cent, interest, we might believe she would pay it from motives of prudence at least, for we never had, and never shall have, the least faith in her honour. Know ing herself, however, predestined to be a bezgar for a century or two, and effectually called to begging by the late war, she would, we doubt not, be wiser than dkustria, and not turn bankrupt till the knout had extorted the fait rou',le from _ _ such of her serfs as had one. Russia, however, will try to make th© railway, by soma means guarantee itself, and that her military lines will never do. She will fix the allowed cost of con sfruction below what it pan po3sibly be, or promise material help anci.. facilities which are not in tier power, or furnish some plausible scheme to the great Jew money-lenders, with which they may gull their customers ; or in some way beyon d lour cunning- to invent, for we are not Russians, slim will construct the railways with their money, l and leave them to whistle for their dividends. No one ought to trust Russia except in' the straightforward way of a well-secured loan. Not that we ever dirtied our fingers in Ruesian loans, or ever mean to do ; but, as men of business, we would deal with RODIANOFFS, and all the ----OFFS who Serve them, on no other terms. Why, even in the present case, Russia is now abandonin,,,e the Riga Railway__one commercially wanted--Ine which might have increased her cus- Itoms a.'t that Port twentyfold in as many years. And wherefore ? 13aQa.utie she wants a road of two. tho.rsand five hundred miles long, con s t ruc t e d aQeoss her barren eteppes from Moscow to the . ..7.tintii, that she raay be able to move her troops a little more easily for her next anression. If we rinderstand its course aright, there is hardly a town of ten thousand people the hlw o e way. Steppes and plains, without population, and without produce worth carriage, are to find the shareholders a revenue for their railway. It will be, in fact, a great inland military work, without the means of paying half its working expenses. If Russia wants a loan for such a purpose let her 1 erne frankly furiva,rd and say, "Lend me the crone} to enable me to ;.,-,Kisr, 50li all, next time THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 185 6 break into my neigh bour'6 territory, and you want to stop me." As to our Indian Railways everything is re versed. Thov will no doubt have their military use, like ours at home, and an important one. But, like our English railways, also, the first con sideration is the commercial benefit of the coun try. Russia is unpeopled—lndia teeming with population ; Russia has few large towns—ln: is many. Russia has no produce. India only wants means of communication with the interior to sup ply all Europe with cotton, sugar, indigo, rice, tea, hemp, wheat, with almost everything grown in warm and temperate climates; even iron, as we have recently shown, may be had abundantly. The passenger traffic itself would pay in most districts, and in nearly all railways and irriga tion would develope such wealth as would surpass all the things fabled of Golconda. At one time there is a fierce demand that cannot be supplied, and ere long it becomes " a drug in the market." At one moment the prudent and honest trader cannot obtain the facilities indis pensable to the proper management of his busi ness ; subsequently the wildest and most reckless speculations are encouraged. The mercury in the financial barometer changes rapidly, and the in terests that ought to be encouraged suffer under every change. As we have already repeatedly urged there should be a speedy Parliamentary inquiry. But something should be done at once to arrest the evil. Parliament should be called together before Christmas for the purpose, of authoilsing temporary measures, which Ministers may shrink from adopting without a sufficient indemnity in the first instance. Let England for once secure the door before the valuable steed has been abstracted. LATEST NE WS. THE AUSTRIANS IN ITALY. The Moniteur, of yesterday, publishes the fo' lowing under its latest intelligence : " ROME, OCT. 30, Happily, we are not left to general considera tions only. Railways have been commenced in India, and, not withstanding all apprehension, they have begun to pay, and to pay well, too. In the letter from Calcutta in The Sun of the 30th ult., the reader may see a statement of the revenue and exp3nditure of the railway, which, on the most unfavourable calculation, shows a clear profit of 4i per cent., and on a better one, of 6 per cent. The railway, too, has been but partially recently opened, hag by no means developed its resources thus far, and when opened as far as Benares, the writer has the fullest confidence that it will easily pay 10 per cent. Here is a railway under our own Government, guaranteed, indeed, by it, liable to no interruptions by semi-barbarous am bitious projects, and which, from the population and richness of the country, must become remu nerative. If we must invest our money out of England, why not employ it in our most popu lous and fertile colony, a colony for which, too, every consideration of patriotism, as well as pru dence, would lead us to do our best ? England is responsible for her greatest conquest, and the best she can do for it is to spend her money there on civilising, and at the same time remunerative, enterprises. While the stock of bullion in the Banks of England and France has been rapidly diminishing that in the National Bank of Austria has been largely increasing. The Times' correspondent tells us that the specie now stored in the Bank at Vienna amounts to no less than 8,345,0001., being an increase of three millions and a quarter (3,250,0001.) sterling since the beginning of the year ; while the deficiency of the Bank of France within the same period has bier' only 1,330,0001., and of the Bank of England 900,0001. ; showing an increase in the amount held by the three great banks of Europe of 1,020,0001. We confess, however, that while watching the injurious con sequences of the continuous drain, it affords us but scanty satisfaction to find that Austria has been feathering her nest at our expense. Within ten months she has increased her store of the precious metals some sixty per cent. ; while, despite the extraordinary ex ertions made by the Western financiers, they have witnessed their stock growing " small by degrees, and beautifully less." The old lady of Threadneedle-street has raised discounts to a rate highly injurious to the comrnercialand manufactur ing interests, and not only does sbe charge an ex orbitant rate, but she has materially limited the accommodation previously afforded. No advances will now be made on Government Stock. A de posit of 3 per Cent. Consols is rejected with as much contempt as if it were a regular " kite" concocted by gentlemen in difficulties . ; and the Directors are busy in framing new schemes for further restrictions. The Bank of France has gone even further, for they have purchased specie, which they have forthwith disposed of at a loss—an operation that would not elicit favourable comments from any of the learned Commissioners in Basinghall-street, should its affairs be brought into that agreeable locality. But while the Western banks, with all the advantages of the immense importations from Australia, California, and other gold and silver producing districts, are seeing the steady reduction of their hoards, the Viennese managers are laugh. ing in their sleeves, and hugging themselves at the perverse folly of the French and English finanders, while they are hoarding immense sums as a provision for future calls. There is an adage that declares that "The children of Holland take pleasure in making What the children of England take pleasure in breaking." The child in this case is indeed " the father of the man." The child of Austria is prudently accumulating that which the child of England is se recklessly squandering. But how does he achieve this great desideratum. Simply by the use of " worthless rags," an inconvertible paper currency, which not only answers every purpose of domestic circulation, but effectually cheeks any protracted drain of the precious metals. Russia, in like manner, has her paper roubles, and she, too, is replenishing her stock of bullion at the expense of her quondam opponents. The monetary condition of England at this moment is worthy of attentive consideration. Notwithstaading the extravagant price for money, or rate of discount, and the stringent regulations respecting further advances, she had, according to the last return for the week ending the 25th October, but 9,637,5691. worth of bullion in both departments. Should the drain continue a few weeks longer it may be reduced as low as it was in October, 1847, when the celebrated letter was issued, virtually suspending the Act of 1844. Even on the 23d of the month, tho day on which the panic reached its culminating point, 8,312,712/. sterling was still available, and yet the distress and difficulty were perfectly unpre cedented. There was a wild, despairing cry for money at any price or on any conditions. Those who were perfectly solvent in their circumstances made the greatest efforts. The only hope of the comparatively weak men was to fail with decency. Many gigantic fortunes were dispersed to the winds, and thousands and tens of thousands of respectable families reduced to the utmost misery and privation. The simple act of knowing that the Bank had the power of getting rid of the so-called "self actin; regulator" of the currency, if it thought proper so to do, forthwith alleviated the panic. Instant relief was experienced, notwithstanding the usurious charges—for a share in which the Government bargained. All that was wanting was that money could be obtained even at an ex travagant price. And the only surprise enter tained was, that a measure so obvieu•, aed so beneficial, had not been earlier resorted to. Ter rible, and, in many cases, irreparable evil would have been avoided by the adoption of a timely remedy. The Act of 1844 has clearly and manifestly failed in every respect. Its Parliamentary sponsor (Sir R. PEEL), in urging the vie ws of its putative parent, " Mercator," declared that its great effect would be to insure a more equable supply of money than at any former period. Never, how ever, within any similar period have there been so many and such disastrous fluctuations. Altar nate contractions and expansions have taken place. THE DEPARTURE OF TM? ENGLISH AND FRENCH MINISTERS FROM NAPLES. The departure of the two Ministers is thus de scribed by the correspondent of the Times (second edition), in a letter dated Naples, Oct. 30 : "At an early hour on Tuesday morning the Commissary of the Quarter of the Liviera di Chiaja made his appearance, with, perhaps, 50 of his men, and dotted them about in the neighbour hood of the French Legation. These again were supported by spies in all directions, and still more effectually by patrols of gensdarmes placed within. sight of each other, and extending full two miles through the Toledo, and down the Foria. Altogether there could not have been a display of less than 2,000 men in the employ of the police. The Government, therefore, made the demonstra tion, not the Liberals, and it is a proof of the arbi trary system which is practised in Naples, that so great a force was deemed necessary to suppress all expressions of respect for the Ministers of two great nations. Baron Brenier left the Legation at about 10 o'clock in a carriage drawn by six horses, with an outrider, and followed by a fourgon with his attendants and his baggage. What is that paltry little one-horse carriage which follows in the train of the Minister of Imperial France That hired carozzella holds a Commissary of Police, and a well known spy, whose name I forbear to mention. This guard never deserts him till he arrives at the Capo di Chino. It watches to see whether some poor Neapolitan may address some ultima verba to the Baron ; and, having seen him safely beyond the barrier, it returns. I have anticipated a little, in order not to abandon the ridiculous group in the carozzella. On arriving at the entrance -of the Toledo and throughout the city there was the same display of the civil force : spies, policemen, and gensdarmes everywhere. Many gentlemen were in the streets, and many had retired within the shops, but there was a general raising of the hats as Mons. Brenier passed, and in the Largo di Mercatello I am told that flowers were thrown from the windows. In the afternoon of the same day, at 3 o'clock, the British Charge d'Affairs, Mr. Petre, accompanied by Mr. Plunkett and the First Secretary of the French Legation, left Naples. There was the same display of force as in the morning, and pretty nearly the same incidents took place, and so the curtain falls on the first scene of—what ? Tra gedy, comedy, melodrama, or what? Will all this terminate in the acceptance of some paltry conces sions, which, as they are not founded on and con firmed by some principle, will be utterly valueless? Or will the King be morally compelled to return to legality, peace, and prosperity? Now i s th e cr i s i s in the fate of this country and of the whole of Italy, and, if England and France be sincerely united, moderate counsels will prevail, and chronic discontent, disorder, and revolution be avoided. But of one thing I am hourly more and more con vinced—that half-measures, slight concessions, pro mises here, will be worse than useless. My reason for thinking so is this. The man does not rule here in whom confidence can be placed morally or intel lectually. COURT CI RCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 4. The Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer arrived yesterday evening at the Castle on a visit.

This latter officer landed wit's his regiment at Old Fort on the 14th September, and remained in the Crimea during the whole of the late war. He was present in every engagement. The James Raines, homeward bound from Australia, with nearly 700,0001. in gold, has now been at sea 88 days. Assuming that the Lightning left Melbourne on the date previously fixed, viz , the 26th August, this vessel, which brings the royal mails and (probably) a consideraVe quantity ref gold, has also been at sea 70 days. woo W d- O p O ain D v l:AVEMENT.—Application having been made to the Beard of Works for the Holborn district, from a firm, asking their permission to lay down gratuitously a new specimen' of wood pavement, stated to be mere durable than that at present laid down in that thoroughfare, the members of the board were almost artaa:aious is declaring that wood pavement bad failed cenipletely wherever it had been tried, and they would haee Go more of it. An interesting mechanical operation has been lately performed at the Imperial Dockyard, at Cherbourg, in the hauling up of a line-of-battle ship, under a building shed, upon an ordinary launching cradle and way. It was performed with the assistance of six capstans manned by about 700 men, and occupied nearly seven hours. The credit of this extraordinary and successful operation is due to M. Corrard, the superintendent engineer of the dockyard.—/lfechanies' Magazine. BIRTH OP AN HEIR TO THE LURGAN ESTATE.—In addition to presenting Lord Lurgan with a complimen tary address on the auspicious event, the inhabitants of Lurgan, and the tenantry on the estate generally have agreed "that some permanent mark of respect be pre sented to Lady Lurgan, on the occasion of the birth of her son and heir." Subscription.; have been entered into, and a committee appointed t i carry out the ohjset. —Newry Telegraph,. " The arrangement concluded recently with the Vienna Cabinet for the evacuation of some points of the Pontifical territory, hitherto occupied by Austrian troops, has just been carried out. The withdrawal of the troops commenced a few days since, and terminated yesterday. The Austrian troops recrossed the Po, taking the direction of Padua. They are replaced by detachments of the 2d Swiss Regiment in the service of the Holy Father. Ancona and Bologna are now the only points in the Papal States which remain occupied by Austrian troops. Thus is accomplished a mea sure which, by diminishing the corps of occupation, likewise diminishes the expenses of the Papal Go vernment, and restores it to the full enjoyment of its rights and action. " For some time it has been felt that it was ne ce6sary for the Papal finances that the indirect taxes should be rendered more productive. " The Government has boldly entered into this salutary path, and, encouraged by the results ob tained, not only is it preparing farther reductions in the Customs' tariff, but it has just promulgated a decree with a view to the reform of the stamp duty, which, under former regulations, was imper fectly carried out, and brought in very little to the Treasury. The rate has been reduced and its circle of action increased. Everything leads to the hope that on this point, as well as regards the Custom-house dues, salt, and tobacco, both the Treasury and the contributors will find themselves equally benefited by the introduction of the true principles of political economy." Accounts from Constantinople, of tho 27th ult., state that the En g li s h squa d ron h a d been reinforced. The Commission on the navigation of the Danube was about to re-assemble at Vienna. The Porte will be represented at it. The Boundary Commission had still two months' work before it. A letter from Vienna of the 31st ult., in Voss's Gazette, says :—" Baron de Budberg, Rus sian ambassador here, has had several conferences in these last few days with Count de Buol, rela tive to the occupation of the principalities. M. de Budberg has received instructions to support the note of France, in which the evacuation is demanded. It is said that a despatch has been sent hence to St. Petersburg, in which the occu pation is justified." It is whispered that a treaty of commerce between Russia and France, and very favourable to the latter, is on the tapis. If this be true it would explain the amenities exchanged between the two Courts. It may also explain the post- ponement to 1861 of the tariff reforms. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " Baron Brenier, whose arrival I announced yesterday, had his first interview with the Minister for Foreign Affairs to-day, and he and Count Walewski have proceeded to Compiegne. Under all circumstances, it is not difficult to guess the sort of report which Baron Brenier will have to make about the King of Naples. Notwith standing the hopes and expectations of some change coming over that amiable specimen of the Bourbons, I have learnt nothing in any respectable quarter which would justify them. I do not believe that at this moment Ferdinand 11. has the slightest intention to listen to reason or humanity, or that he will not con tinue hardened, false, iisane, or hypocritical to the last. It is his destiny, and he must fulfil it. Re declared up to the last moment that he would concede nothing, and change nothing, in his sys tem of government. The allies might bombard his capital, cut down his people, depose or even kill him—but yield he will not. He admits his weakness in presence of the force that can be brought against him—he will endeavour to defend himself as best he may against his enemies—but change he will not, neither now nor hereafter. Such are the latest declarations known to emanate from his Majesty ; how ho will abide by them time only can tell. " The individual who will feel not the least sorrow at so stern a resolve is the Marquis Anto nini, the Neapolitan Ambassador here. The poor gentleman hoped all along to be allowed to re main in kis beloved Paris, in spite of the with drawal of Baron Brenier, or at all events not to be compelled to go further than Brussels, which in his mind is Paris in miniature. Reports reached his ears that the French Government would send him his passport. To his great delight he learned that the Government had no such in tention, and that his stay or departure depended entirely on the will of his Royal master. But his joy was of short duration. He has acquired the certitude that he will soon receive (if he has not already done so) a peremptory ordor to return to Naples-L-at all events to quit this city ; and, once leaving, he will most probably return no more. "The movements of the Austrian troops in the Legations, as announced in the papers, are not considered by some persons as a withdrawal, but rather as a concentration, to prevent surprise in case of an insurrection in Italy, Those that have retired behind the Po may very speedily recross it, and that Austria apprehends a m ovament is gathered from this, and from the increase of her army in her Italian possessions. " The Paris papers have been invited not to make any allusions to the festivitias of Compiegne, nor to transcribe in their columns whatever might be said of them in the Belgian papers. The ridicule excited by the description of these with the women sportsmen, dressed o like vivandiere s an d the men like f m se o tme :s e sq w / h ce a ta t ires, while discontent and poverty reign i n Paris, it is not surprising that people get ashamed of such harlequivades. Le Roi s'anwse' is the heading to some of the placards posted up by night in the fsuborgs. It is considered doubt ful whether the Court will now go to Fontaine bleau as intended. The Emperor would have done wisely in not going Compiegne, as he would have esc a p e d much unpopularity. to " I am informed that five persons have been arrested in Paris, in consequence of disclosures made by the now celebrated Carpentier." The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated Nov. 2, says : " In my letter of the 25th of October it was said that the violent attack made by one of your morning contemporaries, on the policy of this Go vernment in the Neapolitan question, had produced a very disagreeable impression here, and it is now necessary to return to the subject. As soon as the Austrian and British Governments observed that the French Cabinet wan coquettin g with Russia they felt that it was necessary to let by-gones be , by•gones,' and by degrees a good unders anlnig was established between them. Just as the im portant question of the evacuation or non-eva cuation of the Black Sea and the Danubian Prin cipalities was being settled at Constantinople, the abovercentioned leader appeared, and the Aus trians (erroneously supposing the paper in question to be the organ of the First Lord of the Treasury) asked each other how it was possible to work well with an ally who chose such a critical moment for making such a desperate onslaught. Information has now reached me that the Austrian Govern ment has recently received the assurance that Lord Palmerston is in no connection with the Morning Post, and it is well that such is the case, for the Treaty of Peace would assuredly be mere waste paper if any misunderstanding should arise between England and Austria. A person who is on intimate terms with many Russian families of rank assures me that the flower of the nation is now travelling in different parts of Europe for the express purpose of making politi cal proselyte; and he is of opinion that Russian agents are not strangers to the alarming ferment which there now is in France. The Russians already boast that the Emperor of the French is in their toils and unable to escape ; and in this country it is not doubted that the star of Napo leon is on the decline, though naturally the opinions differ as to the time at which it will set." FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Moniteur publishes the official returns of the gross receipts of the French railways for the first nine months of the present year, which amounted to 2 04,121,074 fr., being an increase of 13,823,891 fr. on the corresponding period of 1855. The Moniteur publishes a long extract from a document recently published by the directing Se nate of Russia, regulating the different lighthouses in the Baltic, the Gulf of Finland, and the Gulf of Riga, and givity , a description of the different lights whether fixed or revolving, as well as the hours of lighting and other details interesting to navigators. A letter front Constaitinople, in the Gazette du Midi, says :--"The Persian Ambassador Ferroukh - Khan brings to the Emperor of the Freich the decoration of the order of the Sun of the Lion, worth 100,000 f.; to the Empress Eugenie pearls and precious stones, worth 80,000 f.; and to Prince Napoleon a sabre richly set with precious stones, of the value of 60,000 f. He is also the bearer of five decorations, one of which is intended for Count Walewski." " A series of experiments," says the iToniteur de la Flotte, "have just been made, having for ol►ject to test the qualities of a now kind of gunboat, spe cially intended for the defence of the banks of the Danube. These boats are flat-bottomed, are moved by oars, and carry guns of very large calibre. They manoeuvre with extreme rapidity. The experi ments took place near Friebad, and were perfectly successful." The following letter, with a subscription of 500 f., has been addressed to M. Mania "Master and Brother,—Until such time as, ungagged and unimpeded, the noumans can speak and act, their children, students in Paris, have charged me to deposit in your hands, as an earnest of the future, their sub scription for the cannon of Alessardria. Yes, as an earnest, for, united as we are to Italy by the bonds of love and hatred, we, Rournans of the Danube, shall never forget that we have the same enemy to beat down and the same cruntry to raise up. Piedmont has de fended us on the field of diplomacy : it is our duty to thank her on the field of victory. "Your devoted servant, "C. A. ROSETTI, ex-liember of the Provisional Govern went of Wa lachia in 1848. "Paris, November 1." The Siecle publishes a statement, which, if cor rect, is of importance. After describing the de cided refusal of Lord Palmerston to enter into any transactions which had not for basis the complete execution of the treaty of Paris, that journal says " It has nevertheless been recognised on both sides that no better alliance can exist for England than that of France, and for France no more fruit ful alliance than that of England ; the discussion l on the execution of the treaty of the 30th of March has therefore ceased. If we are well informed despatches were sent off on the 31st October, which will remove all the partial difficulties that exist, which have moreover proceeded rather from subordinates than the governments themselves. The treaty of the 39th March will be executed in all its rigour, and afterwards if Russia or any other government wishes to submit questions to the con gress of Paris, the congress will examine them with that spirit of progress beyond the range of which it is now impossible to effect anything in Europe that is destined to last."

A letter dated Rome, Oct. 30, says:—lt is stated here, and with some probability, that the representatives of Austria, 'Tuscany, and Naples, have recently made urgent request to the Pope to interpose in favour of King Ferdinand, by sending an autograph letter to the Emperor Napoleon ini ploring him to abstain from an y measures calcu lated to disturb the Italian Peninsula and compro mise the peace of Europe, b u t hi s ll olinesl is said to have replied very judiciously that the n p osit . of affairs was not s uc h as to warrant his inter ference.lo Mr. Craven, attache to the British Legation at Naples, arrived at Civita Veccbia by the French steamer on Sunday last, and communicated the intelligence of dipl omat i c relations being suspended to the captains of the British vessels stationed in that port.

Tho Austrian Ga:.;ettc ßECE of the 31st ult, has a letter from Athens, which says that the official journal of that capital had declared that King Otho was "neither physically nor morally in such a state of health as to render his presence at Athens neces sary !" This extraordinary language of the official journal, says the letter, caused a scene of great violence in the Senate. Senator Provelegis, who is personally devoted to the King, tore up in the presence of the assembled Senate the number of the paper containing the lines quoted, and re proached the Ministry for permitting such unbe coming language to be used. SWEDEN. The Aftonbladet of Stockholm, of The 25th ult., says :—" The four States of the Diet have just proceeded to the election of the chiefs of the dif ferent sections into wlich it is respectively divided. In the State of the Nobility, the choice has fallen on reactionary members ; the States of the Clergy and of the Bourgeoisie have elected Liberals, and that of the Peasants, Ultra-Progressists. The chiefs of the sections are named for the whole dura tion of the Legislative session." The same journal says-_" The reduction in the postage of letters and the adoption of a uniform rate, although very re cent in Sweden, have already produced such an a a e e to t that the increase in the re n ve a nu s e pe o e f ia t i lr r t e t p d o e r p t rartninn the postmaster, i King on the subject, has solicited a further reduc tion."

Marshal Narvaez is slightly indisposed. The amnesty has been extended to offences of the press. The report that General Concha had been removed from the post of commandant-general of Cuba is unfounded. A letter from Galatz states that the Vienna steam packet brought there, on the 17th, Coun cillor Ritter and Baron d'Offenbach, members of the Danubian commission, one for Prirma, and for Prussia, a n d the o th er f or Austria. The Ministerial changes at Constantinople a briefly commented on by the Paris journals.

The Ministry of Aali Pach which had issued triumphantly from the reef.] crisis, has been finally carried away by a secot crisis. A new cabinet has been formed under tl prosidence of Rescind Pacha. This sudden erel must necessarily have its corresponding influen on the policy of the great powers. The head of t 1 defeated cabinet, Aali Paella, represented the poll ( of Franc e , and consequently resisted the pretensge of Austria and England. He was then author ( the announced demonstration against the occuP tion of the principalities by the Austrian trcol and of the Black Sea by the English squadron. 1 1 revolution which has gi ven power to Reschid PO' must then be considered as a check sustained b the policy of France, and as the triumph of t t t policy of occupation.
