SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC lOURNALS, After summarising Hunt's speeeE on the Budget, the Times remarks : When Mr. Hunt sat clown Mr. Glad stone rose. He began with the paradox that it was not for the Abyssinian war the committee were asked to consider how additional taxation should be raised, and it appeared, when be explained his meaning, that he attri buted the necessity of raising further supplies to the increase of the expenditure. The slightest reflection will show that this statement is fallacious. Had the addition to the estimates to which Mr: Gladstone called attention not been made, there would have been a remission of taxation, and it would have been as necessary under such an hypothesis as it is now to consider how additional taxes should be imposed. It is impossible to suppose that two millions would have been left in the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the same question as now would have had to be pre sented to the House of Commons. The real vice, however, of such remarks as Mr. Gladstone made leads him further than . this. Estimates are brought forward, are discussed, and are approved, and some months later a member rises in his place and declares against excessive expenditure or " bloated armaments." Mr. Disraeli did this when he was in Opposition, and when Mr. Gladstone was Chancellor of the Exchequer under Lord Palmerston's Administration, he occasionally intimated that he dissented from the scale of expenditure he assisted to support. On Thursday night, however, Mr. Glad stone and those who echoed his complaints did not fix upon any special point of condemnation. The estimates are rising. It is true. We wish it could be avoided, and - so we suppose do most Chancellors of the Exchequer. But is it not the fact that the nominal cost of government all over the world is rising in consequence of the change in the prices of commodities ? Can any part nership or company deny that their expenses of manage ment have increased materially in the last ten years ? And if, in addition to this, a necessity has arisen for recon structing an army, for providing it with a new arm, for im proving the condition of the soldier, for changing the organisatim of our fleets, additional expenditure must be recognised as inevitable. Confining our attention to the proper subjects of the, debate, what do we observe ? In the first place, an estimate of the cost of the Abyssinian expedition only too palpably imprudent. It may be sufficient, but it is unsafe to reckon upon it. In the next place, a determination to throw the whole burden of it upon the income tax. Nothing that was said last night removed the obvious objections to this course. They were rather strengthened. It was urged that it would be unwise to disturb trade by a medi fication of the import duties, but this plea would cover all urgent necessities, and we are laniled in the conclusion that the income tax must always supply the means of any occasional outlay, however fanciful or unnecessary. We protest in the strongest terms against the pandering to immediate popularity which induces both sides to consent to this fatal course. There is a third remark to be made on the financial statement. It is proposed to borrow a minion. It is true that a tax is designated to repay it, although the security that it will be available for the pur pose is imperfect. But be it as sure as it may, there is no justification for the loan, when we are at the same time g ratuitously repaying a portion of our debt. Let the repayment by terminating annuities be suspended, and if the income tax prove available it will make good the year during which the repayment has been omitted. Mr. Fawcett and Mr. Hubbard joined in recommending a course against which no cne had any reason to urge. If anyone would seek for an explanation of the anomaly that injudicious counsels will apparently be adopted by default, the-reason for it is perhaps to be found in the fact that the mischief may be ultimately traced to those who occupy the front Opposition bench, and that the Ministry suc ceeding to their places have inherited the consequences of their errors. The Post is altogether dissatisfied with the Budget. It does not approve either of the additional income tax. Actual experience has proved the income tax to have in very great measure lost its elasticity, and to have dimi nished seriously in productive power. For years —ever since, in fact, Sir Robert Peel imposed it twenty-eight years ago, when the Whig Government lost its position from precisely the same kind of mistake that Mr. Hunt appears to us to he making now the income tax has always made a return to the pressure of the Finance Minister in excess of estimate and expec tation. The November Budget exhibited the first in stance of its failing to answer to the call. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and those who advised him on making the estimate allowed what they conceived an ample margin for the depressed state of trade, and their pressure has realised less than one-half of their expecta tion—less than one-half of the amount which pressure would have produced at any time within the last twenty-five years. The Post is surprised that such a fact suggests no reflection and conveys no lesson to the present Chancellor of the I?.xcheckuer. It does not believe that the increase to sixpence will produce anything like the sum he anticipates. The Government and the public who were relying upon them are committing a serious mistake and making a vital miscalculation. Mr. Baring, a high authority on financial matters, would have preferred that in substitution of a portion of the proposed income tax, and concurrently with it, an addi tion should have been made to the duties upon articles of general consumption, not, as we understand him, because he objects to meeting a special and temporary charge by an increase of the income tax or by an issue of Exchequer Bonds, but because he fears that this increase of the in come tax will he made a precedent, and doubts whether the bonds will be paid off. The Herald points out, how ever, that Mr. Hunt had declared with great distinctness that if he had not felt that this addition to taxation was to be only temporary he would have proposed to increase indirect taxation. Believing the necessity to be but a temporary one, he was unwilling to cause that disturbance to trade which always results from an increase of duties upon articles of general consumption. Mr. Gladstone found the mode of meeting the charge adopted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer simple and sound, and the opinion of the House was almost unanimously in its favour. The Standard points out the laborious duty which Mr. Hunt had to perform. He performed it creditably. The move made by Mr. Gladstone was clearly and solely factious; it could have no honest end, no creditable motive ; and in the existing state of European affairs, and of our American relations, it was calculated to do infinite harm. The security and strength of England are not to be made the playthings of parliamentary faction; her safety is not to be risked upon the issue of a party vote. Nothing could he worse timed or in worse taste than this attack, which simply goes to prove that if be cannot crush the Ministry under the ruins of the Irish Church, Mr. Gladstone is prepared to attack them through a breach in the national defences ; that no danger to Church or State will outweigh with him the paramount object of turning Mr. Disraeli out of office, no matter how. • Mr. Gladstone has always protested against extravagant expenditure, and the Daily News trusts that he is now resolved to enforce retrenchment. The nibbling at details will do little. The House of Commons has not the patience for this kind of work, nor the administrative k lowledge essential for its proper discharge. The only may in which it can effect sensible reductions is by reducing the lump sums which it votes for the several services, and leaving it for the Government to find in what points retrenchment can be effected without interference with efficiency. One of the two functions of a great finan cier—that of lightening taxation while actually augment ing revenue—has been successfully accomplished by. Mr. Gladstone. The other—that of reducing public expendi ture without impairing the efficiency of the public service 4-remains to be performed. The. country has confidence in Mr. Gladstone's earnestness, and in his capacity to accomplish this necessary work. It will welcome the pledge contained in his speech, and will give him its ungrudging support. Ann Justice, one of the prisoners now on trial in the Central Criminal Court, has been practically acquitted on the capital charge ; and the Telegraph believes that all who have paid attention to the evidence will be gratified with that result. The truth is, that although the woman Justice has lived on very intimate terms with the persons who organised the attack on the gaol, the Crown could not produce any facts showing that she was in any way connected with the conspiracy. The evidence adduced .to implicate her failed utterly, and at the most only went to show that she was faithful to her friends, and did not desert them in their trouble. But, known to have close relations with them, when arrested on the spot she was detained, and her name was naturally included in the indictment. It was the Lord Chief Justice himself, who, at the close of the case for the Crown, interposed the remark that Ann Justice had not been shewn to be in any way connected with the plot. Still firm in her friendship, the poor woman , on quitting the dock, kissed Barrett, and whispered in the ear of-Timothy Desmond. Her hope of immediate freedom, however, was . dashed •, for, although discharged from the dock, she is still detained because there are other indictments against her. But the deten tion is only a matter of form, and whatever may be the fate of hee l fed it virtually free. Her cause was ,perfectly fe in the hands of Mr. Mont Her Williams, who had been retained to defend her; but her acquittal is a testimony to the rigid fairness of our courts and the unbiassed temper of the bench. Little more than two months ago Earl Iturelladdress e d his first letter '`to the Rigl't Hon. Chichester M.l'., on the state of Ireland." The Star calls attention to Lord Rusell's second letter on the same subject, ap pearslyhichca pamphlet about half the size o. its in the shape of •-liwy it f rom a pretlece:ssor. The Irish ijuestion "r; chaotic condition Is it won- 7?~atl I point of vie v, simply i wrote hi 8 first, pamplii ..at„ under snuli circumstances, and yonsider i::; the changes xvilich have taken place :ince, his see,,rid letter st;o:dAl be mainly occupied in correct leg or abandoning tl:e mistaken propositions of 01.3 first? Earl I:us:4ell's main proposal, in the first in stance, was, as we all remember, to divide the rent-charges of the Irish Church among the lteman Catholics, the Vpiscopalians, and the Presbyterians, according to num bers. Immediately on the appearance of the letter, the impracticable, reactionary, and in every way objectionable nature of such a proposal was pointed out. Earl Russell, in his present pamphlet, frankly abandons the project. kle still argues that it had a logical and political justifica tions at the ti me h e p u t it forward. But, as the Roman. Catholics decline State endowment, there is, he admits, an . prici Of the matter. EARL RUSSELL'S SECOND P4MPII:LET ON 'IRELAND. Earl Russell's second letter on Ireland, now published, concludes with the following passage : In my former letter I had to notice a gross personal attack made upon me by a Secretary of State before my publication appeared, and I thought myself entitled to return the blow. At present lam glad to have no Ruck attack to resent. But I cannot forbear to notice that General Peel, on April 2, made a biting jest on the party . to which I have the pride to belonv. " The Liberal party have been referred to," ho said, " as the engineers and pioneers who clear the road ; but I rather look upon them as guide posts, which point out the road—and a very bad road it often is—but who never advance one inch themselves." (Cheers and laughter.) General Peel is so honest and so good-humoured, that one is always inclined to take in good part anything he may say. But, lest his joke should be taken in sober earnest, I venture to put to him the following questions :- 1. Was it not an inch of advance to abolish fifty-six close boroughs sending 111 members to Parliament, and to deprive thirty more boroughs of one member each ? 2. Was it not an inch of advance to give representa tives to Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham, a conces sion which the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel peremptorily refused? 3. Was it not an inch of advance to rekrm the poor laws, a task which Sir Robert Peel professed himself unable to undertake ? 4. Was it not an inch of advanc t:1 commute the tithe in kind, in England, a vexation to the clergy and laity alike, a task to which Mr. Pitt found himself unequal ? 5. Was it not an inch of advance to abolish slavery in mir colonies, a measure to which Lord Derby, in his better days, so greatly contributed? _ _ _ 6. Was it no gain to religions liberty to enable the Baptists to register the hired of their children without baptism in the Church, and the Unitarians to be married without a blessing in the name of the Trinity, and to re lieve all Protestant Dissenters from the yoke of being com pelled to take the sacrament according to the rites of the Church of England? 7. Was it no gain to freedom of trade to repeal the navigation laws, to form a commercial treaty with France, and to reduce the tariff from the large volume which Mr. Iluskisson boasted of, as a digest, into a single page? Were not the financial plans of Mr. Gladstone an inch in advance ? 8. Were not the introduction of poor laws in Ireland, the commutation of tithe, and the Act for the sale of en cumbered estates, an inch in advance to that country ? Lastly, was not the support given to the unity and independence of Italy an inch in advance, in behalf of the great cause of " Civil and Religious Liberty all over the World," the old standing toast of the Whig party ? _ _ I can imagine that this list, added to Catholic eman cipation and the repeal of the corn laws—measures of which the Liberal party were the pioneers—will grieve the heart of many an old Tory, and that General Peel, on reading it, will say with Macbeth— " A fourth ! Start, eyes ! What, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom ? Another yet ? A seventh? I'll see no more ; And yet the eighth appears, who bears a glass Which shews me many more." Yes, "many more !" The diseased mind of Ireland has yet to be ministered to ; a " sweet oblivious anti dote" may yet induce her to forget her griefs, ancient and of modern date ; the " perilous stuff " which weighs upon her breast may yet be removed, and in her exultant strength she may hail " the wearing of the green " as the emblem of a new hope and the sign of a renovated youth. Yes, " many more !" To name but one : National Education—a measure really national, pervading the whole people, and leaving in the shade the meagre proposals of the present Government —would clear the way for that long and fair train of further reforms already reflected to us in the glass of the future. When we reflect that for twenty-six years Wilberforce and Clarkson laboured without success to abolish the slave trade, and that twenty-four years more elapsed before slavery was extinguished by law—when we remember that, although for more than a century the House of Stuart have ceased to compete for the Crown, the grievances of Ireland are yet waiting for full redress—that for twenty. six years the cause of Catholic emancipation met with de feat at county elections while its leaders were ostracised— we must acknowledge how slow and feeble is the progress towards knowledge and justice, even of the noble-hearted people of this free country, When we perceive how many there are even now who fail to feel for the ill-used Irish man as their predecessors failed to feel for the enslaved African, we must own that we still shrink from the light of day. " What from this barren being do we reap? Our Senses 'narrow, and our reason frail; Life short, and truth a gem that loves the deep, And all 'things weighed in custom's falsest scale ; Opinion an omnipotence, whose veil 'Mantles the earth with darkness, until right And wrong are accidents, and men grow pale Lest their own judgments should become too bright, And their free thoughts be crimes, and earth have too much • --I remain always yours faithfully, RUSSELL. LAW AND POLICE. SIR ROBERT PEEL ANT) THE TAMWORTII SCHOOL.—In the Court of Chancery before the Lord Justices an appeal was made against the order made by Vice-Chancellor Malins, on the 13th of March last, whereby his Honour rc. fused an application made by the Charity Commissioners that Sir Robert Peel might be committed to Whitecross street Prison for having refused to comply with an order made by the Commissioners that he should deliver to them two years' accounts of a school at Tamworth, which was endowed with a sum of £6,000 by the first Sir Robert Peel. The same questions were raised before their lordships as when the case was before Vice-Chancellor Malins. The learned counsel said that they only wanted to compel Sir Robert to produce the books and accounts. The ease was only partly gone into, and was adjourned to Thursday next. SACRILEGE AT LA 3 IBETH.—At the Lambeth Police court, George Harris was finally examined on the charge of entering the church of St. Giles's, Lambeth, and stealing a quantity of things therefrom. The magis trate said he had made up his mind to commit the prisoner for, trial. The accused said he wished to make a statement. Ile left Newington Workhouse with two men, and they asked him to meet them in the evening, as they could put a shilling or two in hi s way. He met them at ten o'clock, and they gave him a bundle and asked him to put some articles round his neck, and he consented, being, he said, intoxicated, And soon afterwards the police stopped. him. The constable said the prisoner was sober. The prisoner said he did not know what articles were in the bundles ; the men told him they were theatrical dresses. The prisoner was com mitted for trial. MERCHANTS CHARGED WITH FELONT.—At the Mansion House Police-court Hermann Mayer and Edward - Mande, a "gentleman," were charged on remand with stealing five dock warrants each for the delivery of a pipe of wine, from Mr. T. F. Alford, of Anerley. The facts of the case were reported when the case was previously before the court, and the prisoners were now committed for trial. Mayer was then charged with obtaining a large quantity of goods by fraud. The prisoner carried on business in the name of Liddell and Co., first as a diamond and subsequently as a commission merchant. He had previously been in a City house, and whilst there made the acquaintance of a young man named Hart. In December last he induced Hart to give up his situation in a large Wood-street house, and told him to commence business as a pawnbroker at Acton. Hart asked him where the money was"to come from, and the prisoner replied that he could obtain goods on credit from various City firms if he gave as a reference the name of Liddell and Co. He instructed the young man to take a house at Acton, and assisted him in obtaining goods of the value of £76 from Messrs. Parnall and Co., £63 from Messrs. Bousfield, I from Messrs. T. E. Smith and Co., and £66 from - Messrs. Dawe and Son. The plan was for Hart to go to these houses, represent himself to be a pawnbroker, and to give the prisoner's name as a reference, the firm receiving afterwards a letter from Liddell and Co., of Hatton-garden, giving a most satisfactory account of Hart and his business. The goods were then usually supplied, but the money had never been received for them. Hart went down to Manchester, Birmingham, and Coventry to see if he could get goods upon credit (at the request of the prisoner), and at Birmingham, where he succeeded to a large extent, he was arrested, and kept in custody for some time. While so locked lip the prisoner had induced Hart's wife to let him sell all the, goods in the shop and all the furniture, which realised 2400, .which lie himself kept. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. . THE ALBERT MEMORIAL STATUE AT BIRMINO HAM.—The memorial statue of the Prince Consort, for which a commission was given to Mr. Foley, R.A., has been unveiled at 13 irmingham by the mayor (Mr. T. Avery). It is considered an excellent likeness, and a very noble work of art. The Prince is dressed in the costume of a Knight of the Garter. The statue was paid for by private subscription, and presented to the town. £I,OOJ remains of the fund, and with this sum in hand some gentlemen think of having a statuo of her Majesty as a companion to that of the Princ e Consort. THE MARRIAGE OF PRINCE HUMBER7. (From the Times' Correspondent.) TURIN, April 19. It is pleasant to see this ancient and dejected capital resuming the holiday garb she so frequently and willingly wore in her bygone days of pros perity. Turin has always been a self-dependent city; the consciousness of her worth upheld her even in her darkest hours, and now, under the double stimulus of pride and old affection, she prepares a hospitable and splendid welcome to the numerous guests who gather to celebrate the nuptials of her Sovereign's heir. And she does so the more wil lingly because the bride is one of her own children, the development of whose graces and virtues she has watched from the cradle upwards. The ami able and sterling qualities of the Princess Margaret powerfully contribute to the goodwill manifested upon this occasion. Cast down, without fault of her own, from the proud position she had valiantly won and honourably maintained. as capi tal of the new kingdom of Italy, Turin has not yet had time to recover from the shock or forget the humiliation. Oblivion is the harder when she notes the fruitlessness of the sacrifice. It was made to promote unity, to propitiate those provinces (especially the Southern ones) which cried out against Piedmontese preponderance, and to get rid of the French from Italian soil. Those were the objects of which the attainment was announced as certain to proceed from the Convention of Septem ber, 1864, and, behold, in April, 1868, the French are at Rome, and Neapolitans and Pied montese combine in the Chamber to oppose the policy of the party which made that convention. The sole satisfaction the old capital has since en joyed has been to hear many deplore the change who at the time applauded it, and to see how little Florence has done towards effacing the memory of Turin. In spite of past and recent discontent, of heavy taxation, depreciation of property, and workmen's strikes, the famous old Piedmontese city thinks that now, if ever, is the moment to cast aside cares and heartburnings, and to pluck up spirits and make a supreme effort to celebrate splendidly a great event in the family of hei King ; and so the deposed capital comes out, in all her former bravery, re solved it shall not be said that the marriage table of her princes was coldly furnished forth by the baked meats of her own obsequies. The municipa lity has shown itself no niggard in providing the ways and means of a great celebration. The ex penses of the festival have been estimated at 700 , 000 f., but I hear it is said they will probably amount to a million—no small sum for this impo verished city. On all sides are evidences of outlay. On a larger and more magnificent scale than I re member ever before to have witnessed, preparations are making for those beautiful illuminations for which Turin has long been unrivalled. In Florence, on such occasions, the river and the ancient build ings of the city are employed with the happiest effect. Thousands of lights are reflected in the smooth waters of the Arno, across which the bridges form arches of flame, while the towers of the Pa. lazzo Vecchio and the Bargello are rendered seem ingly transparent by skilfully disposed lamps. Turin boasts no such buildings, and the Po skirts the city instead of flowing through its heart, but of her long lines of straight streets a vast deal is made by one of the most skilful and tasteful illuminators and decorators in Europe, the Piedmontese Ottino, to whom other cities are often glad to have recourse on such occasions. To morrow night will doubtless prove that he has not spared his pains on this occasion. On no former one do I remember to have seen such a display of illtuninatory apparatus. It is to be hoped the gas works have been warned of the full extent of the demand to be made upon their resources, or we shall risk seeing an untimely extinction of all that part of the spectacle which depends upon their supply. Apparently the long line of the Via di Po will, as on most previous occasions, con sume no gas, and rely upon other means of en lightenment ; but the nearly equally long Dora Grossa is spanned from one end to the other, at in tervals of about 30 yards, with double arches of gaspipes. At tha end of the Via Nuova, where it debouches into the great central square, known as the Piazza di Castello, a triumphal arch of enormous height has been erected immediately opposite to the King's Palace, and overtops the loftiest of the surrounding houses. It is solely for nocturnal pur poses, and by daylight appears a mere skeleton of wood and wire ; but there can be no doubt of ics brilliant effect when lit up, for the gasburners that cover its surface are but just wide enough apart to allow the coloured glass globes to be placed over them. Although the poorest in antiquities of all the 1 great Italian cities, Turin is certainly a very hand some town, with much of the air and style becom ing the capital of a kingdom. Florence has fine I palaces, picturesque buildings, a grand cathedral, numerous striking monuments, and possesses, more over, a charm and a fascination which all must re cognise, but she has scarsely a street of dimensions superior to those which may be found in any pro vincial town. Here, in Turin, are three magnifi cent lines, all terminating in the Piazza di Castello. The Dora Grossa, 1,000 metres in length, is closed at one end by a distant view of the magnificentline of the Alps, now much more thickly snow-covered than is usual at this season, while at its other ex tremity stands Vela's spirited statue of a Piedmon tese standard-bearer defending withdrawn sword the ! national banner he grasps in his left hand—a gift from Milan in 1857, a time when all the hopes of 'ltaly centred in the courage and stanchness of the little sub-Alpine kingdom, and when those hopes had recently found fresh aliment in the share taken by a Sardinian corps in the Crimean war. The background to the statue is formed by a facade of the Palazzo Madama, one of the oldest buildings now left in Turin, and parts of which date from the beginning of the 15th century. Another side of that palace faces the extremity of the Via di Po. This street, including the spacious Piazza Vittorio Emmanuele, which terminates it at the other end and is bounded by the Po, is somewhat longer than the Dora Grossa, and altogether a lighter and hand , sourer avenue. The third line, also about 1,100 yards long, is that of the Via Nuova, which has at one end the King's Palace, at the other the gar den and fountain of the Carlo Felice-square, above which towers the handsome glass front of the rail way station, while midway in the long vista stands one of Marochetti's most spirited works, the Duke Emmanuel Philibert curbing his charger and sheathing his sword after his famous victory over the French, under the Constable de Montmorency. The Carnival, of which the amusments have been kept up with much spirit by the 'furinese even since the change of capital, annually draws many stran gers to this city, but certainly since the spring of 1365, just before the flitting to Florence took place, Turin has never been so full as at the present mo ' ment. It will be fuller still to-morrow, and proba bly on Tuesday the last of those who mean to come have arrived. One is reminded of Turin's most busy and brilliant days by the crowded state of the Por tici di Po, which are to the Piedmontese capital what the Italian Boulevard is to Paris, the Unter den Linden to Berlin, or the Puerta del Sol to Madrid—a great central place of passage and a fa vourite rendezvous and strolling -ground. There, and under the arcade of the Piazza Castello, the throng was asgreat as ever yesterday afternoon and evening, and the shabby old Cafe Fiorio, for some reason or other long the chief resort of Turinese fashionables, was as full as in days of yore. Whichever way one turned, his eyes encountered portraits of the sposi reali, the Royal bride and bridegroom—photographs, lithographs, woodcuts, plain and coloured—side by side on one sheet, like two turtle doves on the same perch, stand ing in cars drawn by butterflies, with Cupid for a driver, grouped with the King and the Duchess of Genoa " and the rest of the Royal family," as in a toast at a public dinner, receiving the benediction of Italy, personified as a beautiful woman with a head dress of turrets—in short, in every imaginable atti tude, combination, and costume. On all sides one saw Humbert's heavy moustache and somewhat defiant air, contrasting with the gentle beauty and sweet expression of his charming cousin. It is un necessary to say that only in a small minority of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 24, 1868. instances had the artists done them justice. Some had sought to flatter, and not always succeeded— at least, in the case of the Princess ; others had missed the likeness or stumbled into the grotesque. Stern photograghy alone kept its inexorable middle way. If it is pleasant to be a Prince, and to have such a bride as Princess Margaret, it must be ad mitted that it is something of a drawback to be made to look like a ruffian, and a cutthroat in hundreds of thousands of rude prints, which are sold at street corners for a penny. Another article for which there is just now a prodigious demand is the daisy. The modest margue'rite is selling by the million. I know not whether the flower was equally in request on the occasion of the nuptials of the " belle Royne de Navarre," or of some other royal Margaret of times past, but it is hardly possible that at any period it should have been more extensively repro duced and employed. One meets whole planta tions of those unpretending blossoms upon the ladies' heads about the streets ; the hatters' win dows are full of them, stuck in the bands of wideawakes and bilycocks ; the jewellers exhibit them in the form of earrings, brooches, studs, necklaces, and hair ornaments. The confectioners perpetrate daisy bonbons, of which the design is superior to the execution. Very noisy boys last night stunned the saunterers under the arcades by their shrill recommendations of their daisy shirt pins at two sous apiece ; in short, Turin at this mo ment is the capital of daisyland, and there seems some danger that the humblest of flowers will have a bit of vainglory in consequence of such unusual popularity. Some here, who know what the Prin cess's recent life has been, find a peculiarly appro priate emblem for her in the flower that revives and rises again fresh and elastic after the passing pres sure of a clownish foot. All must desire that her married life may pass more happily than her girl hood is believed to have done. Whatever warmth of feeling and genuine enthusiasm the coming marriage here excites are attributable almost exclusively to the interest she inspires ; and such sentiments would have been none the weaker bad the wedding been less an occasion for pa geantry and lavish expenditure. In Turin, at any rate, the feeling evidently is that the cir cumstances of the time do not warrant such costly festivities. The municipality and the higher classes have thought it necessary to maintain the city's old reputation and to re-assert the feeling of loyal attachment to the House of Savoy which some have thought impaired ; but one hears it freely admitted that what is being done can be but ill afforded. It may be doubted, too, whether the lower classes of Italians care much for the games and shows of which this city and Florence are about to be the scene. The north Italians, assuredly, al though so close to France, do not share the French passion for parades and spectacles, fireworks and illuminations. The most that can be hoped and reasonably expected upon the present occasion is that no unpleasant mauifestatious will be provoked by the contrast of pomp, splendour, and f estivit y with the depressed state, h eav y taxation, and really hard lot of the Piedua ontese population. The Prince of Piedmont was but coldly received wh en he arrived the other day in Turin and proceeded to the Palace in company with his brother, who went to meet him at the railway station. Turin may find some compensation for her present outlay in the money that will be left here by the numerous strangers who flock to the wed ding. Certain classes are jubilant over the in flux. The hotelkeepers have bad' their houses booked full for weeks past, and one hears of fur nished apartments in private houses let at enor mous prices. Carriage hire seems less exorbitant than in Florence, where the coachmasters lately held out for 800 f. for a carriage and pair for the eight days of the fetes. On such occasions it seems con sidered fair to take the utmost advantage of the cir cumstances, and to deem nothing extortionate that can possibly be obtained. At Konigsberg corona tion people paid 20f. a night fer a cupboard with a bed in it. Nothing so strong as that has yet come to my knowledge in Turin, but I would not trust much to the moderation of the Florence innkeepers when their day of glory arrives. Last night's train from that capital brought a large numb3r of wed ding guests, including many of the diplomatic body. That body divides itself chiefly between the two principal hotels here—Trombetta's (which was lately Feder's) and the Europe. In the former the representatives of the United States, Prussia, Tur key, Russia, and the Netherlands have taken up their quarters ; also three members of the Cabinet —Count Cambray Di,gnY, General Bertole-Viale, and Admiral Itibotty. It is fitting that Finance should go with War and Marine to supply their wants, and especially to try to check their expen diture. Count Usedom has not yet arrived, hav ing gone to meet the Crown Prince of Prussia, who was to have bean here to-night, but who has been delayed by something out of order on the Brenner Railway. At the Hotel de l'Europe are the Minis tersS of England, France, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Bavaria, Ste. This being Sunday the shops are shut, but before noon the porticoes and many of the streets were crowded as they usually only were late on holiday afternoons when Turin was the capital. Half Florence seems transported here. One cannot go out of the house without running against a Minister, native or foreign, and as for ex- Ministers, senators, and deputies, they may be reckoned by the score. Two trains came in at one o'clock in the morning, and another at noon. The Queen of Portugal is at the Palace, not yet re covered from the fatigue of her journey, which she performed quicker than the post in four days from Lisbon to Genoa, via Madrid, stopping nowhere, and arriving, as may be imagined, much exhausted.

THE FENIANS AT THE OLD BAILEY. The Fenian prisoners now at the bar of the Old Bailey are of widely different - physiognomical types. Viewed from the bench there is indeed little in common between the row of faces in the dock oppo site save a certain stoicism or hardihood which contrasts strangely with the miserable appearance of the abject creature testifying against them. Mullany, unless appearances belie him, is the most actually wretched man in court. Ghastly pale, and with sunken eyes, which look more sunken from his standing with his back to the light, the approver, while under cross-examination, seems to be the hunted man. All present, including the prisoners, seem to listen to him with lofty contempt. None is so poor as to render him anything but scorn at the whining plea that his duty to his young family made him a traitor, and had kept hi m f ro m accompanying the barrel firing party to Clerkenwell, though he subscribed for the purchase of powder, and was cognisant of the entire scheme. The prisoner Barrett smiles, and Ann Justice laughs outright. While pressed home by the various counsel for the prisoners, Mullany's long nervous fingers close half convul sively round the brass knobs of the rail before him ; he MOVe4 restlessly from foot to foot ; his voice is so low and husky that he is fre quently reproved for not 6 , speaking up," while his tongue rolls and lips quiver, as if the one clove to his mouth, and the other were parched and dry to a degtee which inakQs free speech im possible. Every eye is on him, and as he stammers out his answers and explanations in a broad Irish accent, he strives to avoiJ looking at the dock, as if the sight of his late comrades and vic tims were unbearable ; yet now and again he glances there as if fascination overcame and conquered shame and self-contempt. But for his prtsut de gradation and distress he would pass for a good looking man of 30, of slim figure, and whose Shak spere collar, gay neckcloth, and shabby genteel cloth garments seem to verify his statement that he earned £5 a week in good times, but had been out of luck lately through the tailors' strike. All this time William Desmond, said to be one of the ruling spirits who planned the outrage, sits in front of his fellow-prisoners, with his face in profile, sternly gazing on the witness, writing little notes from time to time to his attorney be low, and receiving and tearing up the brief answers of the latter. An unusually large and heavy beard, sandy in hue, and extending broadly over chest and shoulders, a regular nose, keen grey eyes, :which dart their penetrating glances from beneath bushy, overhanging brows ; a broad, well shaped forehead ; short, dark brown hair ; a thoughtful, intelligent face ; florid complexion, a gen erally respectable exterior, and an air of con fident and unceasing watchfulness make this Des mond the most striking figure in the dock. A pro fessional lecturer, the crack orator of a debating club, a shrewd dogmatic expounder of half-truths arid crotchets to uneducated companions, are all phases of character to which his appearance and demeanour would fit in. The man next him, his namesake, but, as is easy to see no relation, Timothy D..striond (said to have been drunk at the time of the outrage, and to have disobeyed the orders of the first Desmond by not sleeping for an hour) is his antithesis in every particular. He is thin in person and shabby in dress. A cadaverous, uneasy face ; thin, weak beard and whiskers ; dark, curly hair, and a restless, hungry, fretful, dan gerous look, which accords fully with his frequent change of posture and fidgetty uplifting of hands and arms ; his demeanour is the more striking from the calm repose of the right-hand neighbour we have described, and the sodden, callous in difference of the prisoner English on his left. This man is the oldest and most repulsive-looking of the party. Ile is credited with the speech, " ! We'll burn the whole of London ; and that will be more diabolical !" O'Keeffe, w h o comes next in order from left to right, is com paratively characterless—little weak and straggling hair on chin and cheeks, a wavering mouth par tially open, and an aspect of stolid, unintelligent endurance, brightened by fitful, half-formed smiles when Mullany is made more than usually uncomfortable, are the points in which he differs chiefly from Barrett or Jackson, who sits be tween him and Ann Justice. The man last named (who is accused of having actually fired the barrel) is better dressed than the rest, and of an obviously higher station. Under other circum stances you would admire his look of determination and frank courage. A bright, resolute eye, quiet in marking the slightest and most trivial incident in court; a confident, brisk bearing ; manly, regu lar features ; a short, crisp beard, thick hair, and a muscular, compact figure, show him to be the sisal, as William Desmond is the mental, superior of all the people accused. He, too, writes frequent notes to his attorney, and often smiles contemptu ously at Mullany's statements and admissions, but in an Offhand, dashing way, as if a mere informer were really too s•nall a subject for serious indig nation. Ann Justice (who had interviews with Burke and Casey in prison, and is charged with having acted as go-between between them and their would-be deliverers), in a coarse woollen shawl, pinned closely to the throat, as if to conceal an insufficiency of under gar ments, and with bold dark gleaming eyes which rove unabashed about the court, is evidently ex pecting friends. Whenever a door opens or the least movement is made by officials or barristers, this woman's eye is there. She examines every face and looks round and round, quickly and suspiciously, finally bending her body back to obtain a good up ward gaze at the sitters in the gallery behind and above the dock. Inquisitive, expectant, and, if her situation were less critical with what one would call a sense of humour, she looks about and around her with unaffected interest. The coarse woodcut sold in the streets is wonderfully like, and her good-looking, common face is that of hundreds of women to be seen at court-entries and gin -shop doors in the poor neighbourhoods of hidden London. Her look of restless cunning is brought into re lief by the stolid, immovable features of the female turnkey sitting behind her, who might be a mask of wood in blue ribands and a bonnet. Ann Justice drinks greedily of the water brought her, turning round, as if in politeness to the Jud g e, while doing so. The bold respectability in black behind the male prisoners is the turnkey, and looks every inch a vestryman ; while the city police-officers are plen tifully distributed about and around the dock, bringing into still stronger contrast the character istics T h ese remain unaltered of ~the accused. during our stay, and without building up a theory or deducing a single inference from what we saw, we give the foregoing as a tolerably faithful picture of the Fenians in the dock. —Express. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was held at the Guildhall yesterday, Alderman Sir John Musgrove presiding, in the absence of the Lord Mayor. THE LATE VISIT OF THE VICEROY OF EGYPT. Before proceeding to the ordinary business, Sir T. GABRIEL said he wanted to make an ex planation iu reference to a document which he was a b o ut to a sk the Clerk to read to the Court. It was a reply from the Viceroy of Egypt to an ad dress which this Court voted when his Highness visited this country. The Court agreed that that address should be presented in a gold box ; but as his highness had to leave in a few days the box could not be finished in time, and the address was therefore presented by itself in Dudley house, and his highness gave an extempore reply, which was entered in the minutes of the Court. Subsequently the casket was entrusted to him (Sir T. Gabriel), an d he handed it to the agent of the Viceroy in this country, who forwarded it to Egypt, together with a co py o f the address which had been voted by the Court, and his Highness thereupon sent another and more formal reply. This was dated so far back as the Bth of January, and arrived a few days after he had left for Egypt, so that it had nothing to do with any civilities he had received in that country ; but he might mention that the Viceroy received Sheriff Waterlow and himself in a most kind and hospitable m anner, and placed at their disposal for a month, if they pleased, a yacht, well manned and vic tualled, and in charge of a member of his court. In short, his Highness did everything to render their visit as pleasant as it could be made. It was only fair to add that the Sultan, who was splendidly en tertained by this Corporation, recognizing him (Sir T. Gabriel) as having been fortunately the head of the CorPoration when he was so entertained, received them as his guests, and placed about them parties armed with the fullest authority to take them to all places of interest in the capital. He now begged to move that the reply of the Viceroy be Lead and en tered on the minutes. The TOWN CLERK then read his Royal High ness's reply as follows :--‘, His Highness the Vice roy of Egypt to the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen and Commons of the city of London. My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, —I have always had an anxious desire to visit the great commercial city of London, and I greatly rejoice that the happy event has occurred. I am greatly sensitive to all the hospitality and the good feeling shown to me by all classes during my stay amongst you ; such respect and courtesy shall never be effaced from my memory. In addition to these kindnesses, I am ex ceedingly delighted to see by the joint and compli mentary address which you have obligingly sent to me that my visit to England has given you pleasure, and that the facilities afforded by me for the passage of English troops to India, and any attention I may have given to those who have visited Egypt, have been so fully appreciated by you. It is indeed a source of pride to me to receive such flattering ex pressions from the lips of the Chief Magistrate, Aldermen, and Commons of the greatest and most civilised city in the world. I truly confess, n - ;y Lord Mayor, that I cannot adequately convey to you the gratification afforded to me by your recent hospi tality and courtesy, for which I am unable to thank you sufficiently. In accordance with the sincere at tachment and friendship which I entertain towards the great English people, and with an anxious soli citude to increase the amicable relations which exist ,between my country and Great Britain, 1 shall al ways endeavour to further their affairs and material interests in Egypt ; and as the prosperity of every nation depends upon the facilities afforded for ma nufacturing, agricultural, and commercial inter course, I shall actively devote my attention to the promoting:of this desirable object with reference 1 .6 my country. Egypt being especially an agricultu ral country, its prosperity chiefly depends upon the improvement of its agriculture and the obtaining advantageous markets for its produce. I shall therefore at all times endeavour to extend and strengthen friendly relations and commercial in tercourse with the great English people, who have always, more than ar.y other nation, taken a deep interest iu the welfare and happiness of Egypt. " Cairo, Bth January, 1868." The motion to enter the reply on the minutes was unanimously agreed to. FIELD•JIARSIIALL SIR JOAN BURGOYNE. Mr. J. B. SAUNDERS moved the following resolu tion of which he had given notice :—" That the free dom of this city, in a gold box, of the value of 100 guineas, be presented to Field Marshal Sir John Burgoyne, Bart., G.C.8., Constable of the Tower of London, in recognition of the distinguished,ser vices rendered by him to his country during a long and useful professional career ; and this Court con gratulate him on the well-merited honours which her Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer." Premising - that the freedom of the City was a pri vilege only to be conferred on individuals of the highest distinction, he remarked that Sir John Bur goyne was a godchild of Charles James Fox, and that, his father dying in the army, he was sent to Eton by the grandfather of the present Earl of Derby. Subsequently he commenced life as a lieu tenant of engineers, acting at the blockade and sur render of Malta, and Sir Thomas Picton said of him, " Give me Burgoyne with the fighting 3rd, and I can do anything." The request was at tended to, and Sir John rose step by step. He next joined Lord Wellington, and was present at nearly all the battles on the Peninsula, and at a more recent period fought at Alma, Inkerman, and Balaklava. In 1845 he was appointed In spector-general of Fortifications ; in 1847 he was chairman of the Relief Committee when famine visited the sister isle ; in 18G0 he was a member of the Royal Commission on our defences; and lastly, as the crowning point of his honours, he was one of those selected for the highest military distinction, and appointed to succeed such men as Wellington and Combermere in the constableship of the Tower of London. Many had had the freedom of the City conferred on them for one single act, but in this case it was the accumulated acts of 70 years which were deserving of honour. Sir John Burgoyne was a sincere, true-hearted, good old man. At eighty-six he stood pre-eminently before them, and he trusted that the resolution which he had the honour of proposing would be accepted by the court. (Applause.) _ 111 r. PHILLIPS seconded the resolution, and hoped hon. members would not be backward in granting this mark of their esteem to a distinguished man. Mr. DE JERSEY regretted that this motion should have been placed ou the paper without other mem bers of the Court having been consulted, because it placed Sir John Burgoyne, who was an honour able man, in an ambiguous position. lie contended that nothing had occurred specially calling for this mark of honour being bestowed on Sir John Bur goyne, and concluded by moving the previous question. . Sir B. PHILLIPS said he took the remarks of Mr. De Jersey as a censure upon the mover of the mo tion rather than as a desire on the part of the hon. member to tarnish the name and fame of this good old soldier. Mr. Saunders had not perhaps used that discretion which was desirable under the cir cumstances, and for the future it would be well that any one desiring to treat a question of so much importance as this should test beforehand the opi nion of certain members of the Court rather than introduce the name of an honoured veteran like this and have it rejected. Mr. De jersey remarked that Sir John Burgoyne's services had been rewarded by the appointment given by the Crown, but was the Crown or the country so generous to heap rewards upon him undeservedly ? If so, he must confess it was a new thing in its history. He believed re wards were generally conferred upon men who won them, and he hoped the Court would pause before it sanctioned the proposition of Mr. De Jersey, be cause it surely could not go forth to the public that Mr. Saunders' motion was rejected simply on the ground of its having been injudiciously introduced; it must be carried or rejected on its merits. (Hear, hear.) And its merits mean what ? Why, that this general, at 86, having received the rewards of his country and the Crown, was not en titled, in the estimation of the members of this Court, to an honour which it had never refused to give for services that had been rendered to the country. (Hear, hear.) Was there any gentleman there who knew anything of the history of this old man's life who would not cheerfully accord to him every honour to which he was entitled ? Well, if their opinion was that he was a good and brave officer, and entitled to all the rewards he had re ceived, surely they would consider him worthy of the honour nom proposed to be conferred upon him. He (Sir B. Phillips) could not lose sight of the fact' that if there were any opposition, that opposition was not directed against General Burgoyne—(no, no)—but was rather directed, firstly, against the mover of the motion, for the purpose of acting as a check for the future. (Hear, hear.) Now, all he asked was that they should not let this good old man suffer in the estimation of the Court from the accidental circumstance that the proposition had been injudiciously brought forward. This was a question of too much importance to be lightly dealt with, and he hoped the Court, for its own honour, would not reject Mr. Saunders' resolution. (Hear, hear.) Dr. SAUNDERS said that on referring to the Army List he found that Sir John Burgoyne entered the. army in 1798, and had, therefore, seen seventy years' service, but he also found that there were senior to him in the army no less than eleven gene ral officers, four of whom were field-marshals. lie submitted that if they granted the freedom of the City to Sir John Burgoyne, they could not well leave out the three other generals who had been recently honoured with the rank of field-marshal, and who were his seniors. Mr. al.'s observed that if ever a man deserved this honour it was General Burgoyne; and he hoped the Court would not cast the slur upon him of re fusing this motion, however injudiciously, accord ing to the views of some members, it may have been introduced. Mr. FRICKER thought the Court had a right to complain of the manner in which Mr. Saunders had introduced the question, as he ought to have satisfied himself that he would have a good chance of carry ing it before he ventured to introduce it. It was only due to the Court that the hon. member should withdraw his motion. Mr. BEDFORD objected to the proposition laid down, that if they refused a proposal like this they insulted an illustrious man. They were bound to take every case upon its own merits. Sir John Burgoyne was a great soldier, but he was not the only One. (Oh, oh.) . All the other three generals who were created field-marshals the other day were equally great, and there were men in other walks of life, such as Wheatstone and Simpson, who were as much deserving of honour. Let it not be said, the principle be laid down, that because a great man was brought forward they were bound to carry the proposition. Alderman J. C. LAWRENCE said he had hoped that this motion would pass without oppoition. No one who had read the history of this country could come to any other conclusion than that Sir John Fox Burgoyne was worthy of the high es t Honours that could he showered upon him ; and if his advice had been taken the Crimean war would have been checked at the outset, and many bones that now whitened the Crimea would not have been lying there. That fact alone entitled him to the gratitude of the country, and no military m an o f the present day deserved the favour of the Sovereign in a greater degree than Sir John Burgoyne. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY expressed his concurrence in the observations of Dr. Saunders and Mr. Bed ford, and said if the question came to a division he would vote for the amendment, but he sincerely hoped Mr. Saunders would kindly acquiesce in the suggestion which had been offered and withdraw the motion. Some further discussion took place,and eventually the amendment was negatived by a majority of 9, the numbers being—For the amendment, 34, and for the motion 43. Several other amendments were then proposed, and the adjournment was so repeatedly moved and divisions taken with the object of defeating Mr Saunders's resolution as to call for severe animad version with reference to the conduct of the mi nority from Sir Benjamin Phillips and Alderman Lawrence. There appearing little likelihood of either side giving way, Sir JOHN AlusGnovE suggested that the matter should be postponed, and the motion placed first on the paper of business for next week. This course was adopted, and the Court then ad journed, after sitting nearly seven hours. AIR. TRAIN IN THE DEBTORS' PRISON. The case of George Francis Train came befor the Court of Bankruptcy and Insolvency, Dublin, on Wednesday, for the hearing of the insolvent's petition. Mr. Heron, Q.C., appeared for the insolvent, who was present in court ; and Mr. Dowse, Q.C., and Mr. Martin for the Ebbw Vale Iron Company, the detaining creditors. Mr. llerou asked for postponement, on the ground that the affidavit of service of the notice on the Darlington Company and other creditors of the in solvent had not been filed by the proper officer. lie would ask his lordship to hear Mr. Dowse's opposi tion on behalf of the Ebbw Vale Iron Company, but to adjourn the further hearing until the affidavit had been filed. Judge Miller—What do you say as to the next creditor, set down in the schedule as Mr. Stafford, merchant, of London ? I see that none of the debts are disputed on the schedule. lam willing to make every effort that I can to get over these defective services, but I fear it is a fatal objection that Mr. Stafford's residence is not stated. Mr. Heron said they had failed to discover his residence in London. Judge Miller said the next case was that of a creditor who was set down as residing at Florence, Italy. Ile was set down for £750. Under the section notice should be given to all creditors named in the schedule for anything over £5. Mr. Train was then sworn, and stated that he lodged with Mr. Stafford, in London, at 18, St• James's-street, that the debt was due for rent, and that he could not find out the present address of Mr. Stafford, although he had made every inquiry. Judge Miller suggested that an inquiry should be made at 18, St. James's-street, London, and said he must be satisfied that every effort had been made to serve all the creditors. Service was not necessary on a man out of the jurisdiction of the court, but it should be ascertained if be had an agent on whom service could be effected. Mr. heron asked his lordship to accept bail in £l,OOO for Mr. Train's appearance. Judge Miller said he could not do that as the debts amounted to £7,000 or £B,OOO. Mr. Heron said he would be prepared with bail to the extent of £2,000, in four sureties of £5OO each. Ultimately the case was adjourned till Thursday week, to give Mr. Heron time to be prepared with bail, and to hear his application. Mr. Train was then removed in custody. TRA NSP 0 7ED FEIVIA A'S. An extraordinary story has recently found its way here from Sydney. Her Majesty's ship Brisk lately left that port, and it was stated that her des tination was Western Australia, to which she had gone in consequence of news having been received from the Admiralty that an armed Fenian vessel had escaped from a British port for the purpose of intercepting the convict ship Hougomont, and rescuing the Fenian prisoners who were placed on board of her for transportation to Western Ms" tralia. The Brisk was stated to have sailed for Frc" mantle, to cruise off the coast in search of the stir' posed Fenian adventurer. The report was a ground less canard, and the Hougomont arrived safely at her destination on the 10th- of January. In refer ence to some absurd statements respecting the voyage out, which appeared in South Australian papers, Captain Cozens, of the Hougomont, wrote as follows to a gentleman in Adelaide F o r the information of yourself and all the good folks of South Australia, I inform you of the arrival here of the floating hell' Hougoinont. I was Or" prised and vexed to see the South Australian papers copying such trash. The fellow who wrote it ought to be kicked. He knows nothing about the discipline of a convict ship. We were supposed to have a very bad lot, and yet no attempt was mad e to take the ship, nor were the prisoners kept beim' , like a lot of wild beasts. On the contrary, they were on deck every day from daylight to dark, an d gave not the slightest trouble. Zhe Fenians con" ducted themselves in the most satisfactory manner' and only two of the other fellows had to be flogged; and I can only say that if convict ships be 11(4 5 afloat, then let me long be the Devil rather than 3 skipper of au Australian emigrant ship.-3/e/bouri le Argus.
