Consols were quoted 1-16 to I per cent: better than yesterday: British Railway Stocks were rather fiat. Canadian and ; Lombardo-Venetian were rather firmer. Very little bUsiriess was done in any quarter: Th e &l o b e in its monetary report says, the recitiirements of trade are moderate, the supplies of money abundant, and the increase in the' items of the Batik are, therefore, solely attributable to the recent extensive exportation of specie. • The marke,t closei ,at the 'following . p rices THE i'UNDS • 931 1 Consols Money Account (Dec.) . • • • 93, 3 dis 1 ,-, r If Exchequer Bills 231 3 Bank Stock , 9i 7 1 1,- Three per Cents RAILWAYS.

The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : Although the expectation of an early advance in the Bank of England rate of discount is now general, the English funds remain firm. In the share markets the principal feature was a further severe.fall in the stocks of the two principal Canadian railway companies. British railway stocks in one or two instances were dearer. In the discount market the supply of money continues ample, but rather higher rates were demanded in anticipation of a movement of the Bank to-morrow. Good short bills were taken at.3l to 4 per cent. The applications at the Bank were heavy, and betokening a general impression that the rate will be increased to-morrow. During the last few days the Bank have raised their terms for the advances upon long bills. Instead of they now charge 41 and 5' per cent. upon these transactions.—Daily Hews City Article. 4 1 4 The English funds have been Without the least move ment, but the tone of the market was rather firm. No gold was taken from the Bank. The principal fluctua tions iti the railway securities have been in Canadian descriptions, which have been pressed for sale, and the market being over supplied has experienced a further decline. The demMid for • discount at the Bank was extremely heavy; the expectation of an upward move_ ment in the rate has in some degree diminished. There is no real commercial pressure, and the 'majority of th e applications must be regarded simply as of a precaution ary character. It is not improbable, therefore, that an immediate advance may still be deemed unnecessary, especially as ,no further large withdrawals of gold are likely just at present to be made from the Bank on French account. Moderate remittances will continue to Spain, but these , and anything casually required for Paris will, it is thought, be, nearly supplied by arrival s from Australia and Panama. At the same time it i s still a peculiar feature of the period that our existip g rate of discount is considerably higher than the rates on the Continent. The stocks of bullion are fully equal to the average of 1851, when the rate of discount Was only 3 per cent. There is no rigid precedent for an increase, and the matter merely stands at a point so nicely balanced that no fault can be found whichever course may be adopted.—Tiines City Article.

The morning came, he dressed himself in " gor-ge-ous array," And to the spot he thought the best he quickly takes his way ; The crowd behind the barricades. which formed so dense a mass, No sooner saw him, than it ope'd its ranks to let him pass; Thus he obtained a splendid place to view whatc'er befel, And many would have given worlds could they have seen as well : NoW the Artillery brigades, preceded by their guns, In sight appear, and through the crowd a wondering murmur runs; 'Twere hard to match in all the world that firm and stalwart band Of warriors, ready, when required, to guard their native land ; Then came the gallant Engineers, and after them are seen The Riflemen in uniforms of scarlet, grey, or green: Each volunteer moves gaily by, and treats with calm disdain, The laud and cold, and worse than all, the never-ceasing rain.

It published yesterday morn ing the following startling and important piece of news respecting the disarmament of an entire division of the troops of Francis 11., and the present condition of the numbers of the Neapolitan army i—A body of 16,000 Neapolitan , troops, with 4,000 horses and 32 guns, being pursued by the Sardinians, took• refuge in the Papal States at Terracina. At Cisterna their pro gress was arrestedhy the Papal and French authorities, and they will be at once disarmed. It also adds—A week ago the strength of the Bourbon army was variously estimated at from 40,000 to 50,000 men, the latter being regarded as an extreme statement. We cannot reason ably set' down its losses by the fall of Capita, and the battle of the 3rd at less than 15,000. Thus, in less than a week, Francis 11. has lost 30,000 men. As we have remarked on a previous occasion, the large body of troops, refeired to in the first part of the tele gram, who took refuge in the Papal territories subse ' quently to the defeat' of the army of Francis 11. on the Terracina, • no doubt adopted 'this step quite as much because they could no longer be of any use to that Monarch the moment he resolved to retire within the .fortifications of. Gaeta, as from any other cause. Gaeta, though a place of very great strength, is not a plate of very great extent ; and it can therefore afford accommo dation only for a limited garrison. Any excess of defen ders beyond the numbers required for the defence would, besides being a hindrance to the operations of. the besieged, as a matter of course involve the more rapid Consumption of the garrison's means 'of subsistence. Consequently, the superfluous troops who adhered to the cause of King Francis must either have given them selves up to the Garibaldo-Piedmontese forces, or made' for the Roman States where they would have to undergo disarmament in accordance with the provisions of the pass age through them o f armed Nea . treaty which secur es the neutrality of ,the P apa l terri tories from the . It i s no t surprising that th e l a t ter alter . politans. native should have been selected ; nor is it to be s doubted that the operation of disarmament would be a very congenial one to er of the French army the soldiers of occupation at all events. Another telegram from Naples announces the solemn entry of King Victor into that capit a l on Wednesday, • amidst torrents of rain, which did not succeed in damp ing the universal joy' of the. inhabitants. His Majesty, in a proclamation to the people of the two Sicilies, has signified his acceptance of the sovereign authority of those realms, as transferred to him by the-universal suffrage of the inhabitants; he has thus advanced one Point —and a ver y im p ortant o ne, — nearer the reali sa-' tion of his dream, of being one day King of Italy. An extract from a Gaeta letter, dated Nov. 2, given in another column, furnishes some interesting particulars respecting the intervention of the French admiral off the mouth of the. Garigliano, and confirms the strongest ver sions which have been published concerning this remarkable act. Notwithstanding' the announcement of the abandon ment, " for the moment," of the projected attack of the Italians against Austria, the Government of the Em peror Joseph exhibits no relaxation in its 'preparations for meeting the shock which seems inevitable, unless an amicable arrangement for the resignation of Venetia be previously agreed upon. The Augsburg Gazette, after enumerating the various means of defence which Austria has already prepared with the above object, takes Upon itself to assure the Garibaldians "that they Will not easily take the Austrian authorities by surprise; that the coasts are in a perfect state of defence; and that arrangements for succouring every point that is menaced, are so organised as to be capable Of being made available with the utmost rapidity: The Globe contradicts the statement as to the Corps iliplomatique - having resolved to abstain from' being present at the Lord Mayor's banquet. The presence of several of the representatives of the foreign courts will, it states, show the incorrectness of the report as to Lord John Russell's despatch being alleged as a cause for their absence: The Globe adds that " answers to the invitations were requested before October 22nd, and the despatch was not published till November 3rd.. " All we ha , ie ho* to do is to await the publidation Of the listt of guests, arid scan carefully, if such a process be really necessary, the reasons assigned for non-attendance by those of the iii*itecifbieign gtiests *ho are conspicuous for their absenet: A private telegram was received subsequently to the arrival of the official intelligence, to the effect that after the despatch of the last China mail, the Celestials refused to treat with the allied plenipotentiaries, and that hos tilities were about to be resumed. We do not place much reliance on this news, more especially as we believe no official confirmation of it has been received. The Post's Paris correspondent telegraphs that " It is not true that the Anglo-French expedition to China will advance to Pekin. The envoys of the two Powers, with their suite, and probably a guard of honour, will go to the capital, where the conditions of the new peace will be signed. In virtue of a clause in the former treaty, an English and a French minister will be accredited to Pekin, where they will reside." Some statements on the same subject will be found in oar oWn Paris letter, A national stibsciiption has been opened in Sicily to purchase a villa in the neighbourhood of Palermo, as a gift to General Garibaldi. General Caridi it the orizi nator of the project. The Sicilians in Paris are taking part in it. A correspondent of the Times writes to that journal:— "No credit is due to one of Reuter's telegrams which appeared in the daily papers of November 2, and ran thus:---' Calcutta, September 22.—Symptoms of disaffec tion are manifested by the 6th European Regiment at Dinapore.' The Calcutta papers of the above date, says the writer, make rio allusion whatever to this storyi which has bees effectually disposed of three weeks before. It had been put forth about the beginning of the month by the Rualishman, contradicted in the same paper on the following day, and never •afterwards revived by it or any other Indian journal that has come under our notice." A parliamentary return of very considerable public interest was issued yesterday upon the subject of the railways of the United Kingdom, showing the amoant of their capital authorised, the amount actually raised or paid up in the different classes of secttrities, and the amount of loans outstanding, the whole brought down to the 31st of December, 1859. From this return we learn that the total amount of capital authorised to be raised up to the close of last year, was £383,716,351, against £346,408,287 in 1858 ; increase, £37,308,064. Total capital actually paid up to the date mentioned, £334,362,928, against £308,824,851 in 1858, being an increase of '£25,538,077. The respective classes of capital in each year we compute as follows :-- CAPITAL AtrTHORISED • £346,408,287 I 1859 CAPITAL RAISED. 1858. 1859. .2165,379,575 ... £184,560,019 . 65,401,316 ... 6.3,555,179 . 5,619,614 78,043,960 ... 80,028,116 £383,716,351 Ordinary Shares Preference and Guaranteed Debenture Stock & Funded Debt' Loans ...

These statistics relate to 289 railway companies or their branches. There were also 37 lines which were after wards abandoned, with an authorised capital, in addi tion to the above, of £16,028,928, of which £1,072,14 3 were actually raised. This makes the gross amount of capital authorised on all railways, whether abandoned or carried forward, of £399,745,279, and the gross total actually raised £335,435,071. It further appears that the number of miles of line of ra ilway authorised, but whose limit for the purchase of land expired prior to the 31st December, 1859, amounted to 2,545 miles, representing a capital appropriated for their construc tion of £41,117,954. It is stated to be the intention of her Majesty's Government, immediately after the meeting of Parlia ment, to introduce a measure for the purpose of giving effect to the recommendations of the commissioners who, a short time, ago, were appointed "to inquire into the expediency of bringing together into one place or neighbourhood all the supreme courts of law and equity, the Probate and Divorce Courts, and the Court of Admiralty, and the various offices belonging to the same, and into the means which exist and may be supplied for providing a site or sites for carrying out this object." The commissioners, whose decision has by per sonal inspection been confirmed by Lord Palmerston, are in favour of a more eligible site. They propose to devote to the concentration of the law courts a block of buildings which comprises "close and ill-built streets, badly ventilated and drained, and which, in respect to part at least, is very discreditably inhabited." The pro posed site will be bounded by Carey-street on the north and the Strand on the south, Bell-yard on the east, and Clement's-inn on the west. The sum required for the purchase of land is £675,000, and the same, it is stated, will be required for the erection of the Palace of Justice —making in the whole £1,350,000. The commissioners, with the exception of. Sir W. P. Wood, have recom mended that this expense should be defrayed by the sui ,tors' fund in Chancery—a fund which now possesses a capital of £1,291,629. The Bishop of Oxford, on Wednesday, delivered his triennial charge to his clergy assembled at Woodstock. Amongst other matters, his lordship dwelt at consider able length on the question of church rates, deprecating any change in the present law concerning them; he also expressed himself very strongly against the revision of the Liturgy, and protested against the attempt to render valid marriage with a deceased wife's sister. Hi s lordship's address was listened to with great-interest by the very large number of clergy who were present on the occasion. The death of his Grace the Duke of Itlchnuand havinc, caused a vacancy in the representation of West Sussex, by the elevation of the Earl of March to the peerage, a candidate for the vacant seat, Mr. Walter B. Barttelot, of Millers, las issued an address to the electors, in which he states, "that although diffident 'of my own qualifications for so honourable a position, I feel bound to respond to the wishes of my friends and neighbours. My political principles are so well known to you that I need hardly assure you I am a Conservative, and warmly attached to the reformed church of this realm." ki r. Barttelot is strongly supported by the leading Conser vatives in each polling district. The principle of co-operation appears to be gradually extending in Manchester. On Wednesday night, a numerous meeting was held in the People's Institute, Heyrod.street, presided over 'by Mr. Aldermrn Hey wood, in connection with a cotton spinning and manu facturing company. Upwards of 500 shares of each were taken at the meeting, bringing the total number obtained up to nearly 3,000. A resolution was unani mously passed to enrol the company forthwith, and a second resolution was adopted recommending the direc tors to take steps for the commencement of weaving, t o some extent, as soon as the funds would admit it. It is stated that the screw steamship Etna has been purchased for the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steamship Company. The Memorial of St. Etienne announces that the ribbon manufacturers there are becoming very busy. Considerable orders have been received from America, Paris, and England, the Paris orders being chiefly for the richer kind of ribbons, which had not been much worn for some time past. THE VOLUNTEER EXCURSION TO PARIS " THE peace-at -any-price party" is a grand mis nomer. Under the pretence of desiring to cultivate peace, the real effect of their policy is to provoke war—a war of invasion. Their objections to war itself take shape chiefly against warlike prepara tions—and in our country at the present time warlikeara preparations mean only defensive pre parations. Allied with the misnamed "peace men" found all the extre me Radi cals , whose aren s. secret desire is to upset the Throne and Consti tution, which they would replace with democratic republicanism. The affinity between the revolu tionists and the war-provoking-peace-professors is not real but contingent and accidental. With diffe rent objects in view, they both work to one end— the humiliation of this country, its subjection to the military power of France, and the sub Version of the present order of things. The one prefers peace to honour,—the other prefers subjugation to a limited and constitutional monarchy. Both are prepared to barter our rights and indepen dence for " a consideration." Both, we may add, are purblind to the fact that the maintenance of our present poktion in Europe is essential to any true and lasting peace—to any real and substantial freedom of opinion, speech, and action. Between them, however,—these Quakers and Americ.anisers make up a party whose voice continually rings throughput the land, and whose sly manoeuvres and combi- nations it requires no small vigilance to detect and counteract. Numerically few, they are, without exception active, persevering, and cun- ning. Not without skill, ability, and means, they manage to command an amount of attention *holly disproportionate to their real worth or importance. The public cannot be too constantly ptit on their gilard as to their maehinations against the ,pen,ce and prosperity of England ; and the sacredness of her free institutions. The highest compliment, and. the most unequi vocal testimony, to the value and success of the Volunteer Movement is to be found in the opposition it has met with from these quaker reVohitionists: They pdoh:poohed it from the first. They seriously arid angrily derimineed it as it prospered: And 110* that it carries everything before it; they sneak off into their corners and desist froM open attack. At, the same time their bitter aninidsitY ig only intensified. " It concen trates itself in the bonCoetion of underhand • attempts to turn the movement into ridimile by apparent efforts to aid its development and add to its importance. Well may the Volunteers exclaim, Save us from such friends and supporters. Their latest, and perhaps most successful trick, has been a proposition for a Volunteer excursion to the French capital. There is something in the idea so novel, something at first sight so attractive, and we Might add something so daring 4114 fascinating, • that in order to secure ,a , popular expression against it, it is necessary to demand • the most calm and serious attention of the brave and generous men who constitute the . glorious army of Volunteers. To all we say, beware. It is a trick, a cheat, an insult—and its success would consist only of a certain amount of pecuniary profit and notoriety to its speculative 'projector,--a Mr. I. IpAYrz ROWSELL,—and a large measure of ridicule and disgrace to the national movement. In the first place, suppose that an English Volunteer demonstration could be successfUlly made in the streets of Paris, is not the bare idea of such a thing incongruous, absurd, and con. : trary to all propriety and common sense—to say, little of good taste. There is no use of blusling at, or attempting to conceal the fact, our Volun teering has been provoked by the wild, unscru pulous, and ambitious policy of the French Emperor, and the uncontrollable thirst for mili tary glory, and hatred of " perfidious Albion,", on the part of the French colonels, soldiery, and people. An attempt to flaunt our Volunteer force before their jealous eyes could only be looked upon by them as an insult to their imagined superiority, or tolerated as an evidence of our inferiority and fawning weakness. Or even if the French should regard the affair with a half patronising, half indifferent state of feel ing, what should we gain ? To imagine for one moment that they would fall down and worship such an eciuivocal manifestation of confidence; is to suppose that they have no appreciation of the moral or material value of an organisation, which we pride ourselves in. believing to have done more than anything else to satisfy Europe that England is prepared to maintain her place as the foremost nation in Europe, and, if neces _sary,- to—teach France, as England has -done before, that she is notthe arbiter of the nations. In any case, what possible good could. the ," move ment" upon Paris effect in behalf of the Volun teer . eaus i e Should it, to any extent, in duce a belief in the minds of our ' people that military preparation is unnecessary, ought that to be f deemed an advantage, or a cunning delusion ? What can it avail for the interests of this• or any other country, to cry Peace, Peace, when there is no peace ?" LOUIS NAPOLEON -desires nothing more earnestly than that we should desist from arming. What could better answer his purpose thane if, by a little hollow flattery to our Volunteers in his own capital, he could persuade them that "the Empire is peace ?" Shall we' go a begging for a little Imperial familiarity and flattery; and offer to mitigate our defensive zeal if our greatest enemy will but con descend to allow Us to approach his greatness, and, as it were, count his military buttons, touch the lace of his embroidered coat, and frisk for a moment beneath his masked smile ? Shall we ask the Imperial eagle to restrain or conceal his talons while we innocently smooth down his closed bat ravenous beak ? The folly of the pro position is almost too much for ordinary patience. But, in truth, a successful display of our Volun teer force in Paris is simply impossible. Our Volunteers could only appear there unarmed and unorganised. In short, as a military Spectacle, it would be an entire failure in the eyes of even a less military population than that of the French metropolis. If we wish, therefore, to destroy - the effect produced on the Continental ,mind by the favourable reports circulated by some of them selves as to the appearance and effectiveness of our Volunteers at Hyde Park and Holyroodbefore the QUEEN, at Knowsley Park before Lord bEE,I3Y, and elsewhere, we could not do better—or worse— than encourage a straggling, unarmed, and ill directed mob of men, in uniform, to exhibit them selves in,Paris under the name of English Volun teers. Shall we peril our good name by such an act of folly ? Shall we tamely permit the effect of all our good work to be undone ? Or shall we make a strenuous and united effort to caution our Volunteers from falling into such a trap, and to save them from thoughtlessly compromising the great movement, merely to-replenish the purse of a needy speculator in cheap foreign excursions ? It seems to us, as deeply interested in the prosperity , and usefulness of •the Volunteer move ment, to be the duty of every officer and private of the foree -to use his whole influence to Put down this vain and injudicious project. By ;all means, let us cultivate a good feeling across the Channel at every opportunity—but let 'lli' never attempt to ignore the real state of facts. Above all, let is have no , trifling with our Volunteers. if Frenchmen wish to see our Volunteer army, br if we desire that they should form a correct idea of its power, let them come across and we 'shall _make them heartily welcome. The function of Volunteers is confined to their own soil. They tot got nothing to do abroad. Let us see to it that as a body they stay at home. A Volunteer pleasure excursion to France is anomalous, absurd, and not to be 'endured; and the honour o! the organisation demands-that it shall be authorita tively forbidden. INT 11 1 .

In addition to the fUnds previously collected, the Ensign of the Corps yesterday received the following donations:— From J. Pemberton Heywood, Esq., banker, £lO ; his Worship the 'Mayor.(T; D. Anderson, Esq.), a ; S. R. Graves, Esq. (the new Mayor), £5 ; and many others have intimated their intention of subscribing liberally. At the usual drill meeting of the Corps last evening, the company was inspected by Major Bourne. Among the officers present were Adjutant Lake, Captain Heap, Captain Tucker, Captain Hamilton, - Lieutenant. Clare, Ensign Maitland (of the Daily Times), an d severa l others. .Major Bourne briefly addressed the Press Corps. Having given the men some salutary advice as to the attention to their drill, he said that they had. made a most excellent selection in the choice of their officers. They had a good commander in Captain Heap. and if they acted under his instructions, they would soon become most excellent soldiers. Ile concluded by say- ; ing that he felt proud in having the command of such a body of men. The drill- was then proceeded with. It was announced that the uniform would in a very short time be ready, and from its neatness and cheapness, combined with its durability, it is expected that it will give the greatest satisfaction, and be second to none in Liverpool. TRADES' VOLUNTEER COIMPANIES• We understand that the watchmakers, a very largo. and intelligent class of artisans, and several other trades are about to form companies from amongst themselves to brigade with one of those diVisions already in existence and duly inaugurated, instead of endeavouring to form companies of their ,owa—a system which has been much condemned by those placed in the highest official authority. It is generally understood that the watchmakers will avail themselveS of the opportunity of brigading with the 15th, that division having become exceedingly popular . from the neatness of its scarlet nniform and the many high eulogies passed upon it for its military and soldier-Jilw . bearing (in all. occasions wheri it has appeared in public: . FOREIGN TICPTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday, Nov. 8. Some most important items of intelligence re garding the situation of Matters in China at the date of the departure of the latest courier; appeared in the evening papers last night. Despatches have been received from Shanghai, stating that Kwei-Lang, the mandarin appointed.to report to the Imperial Cabinet, and Hang-Fou, the Viceroy of the province of Tchyli, named by the Court of Pekin conimissiohers extraordinary to conduct the negotiations ford tiCatt. of .peace vo . the: ambassadors of France and England; arrived. Tien-tsin on the 6th September ; and it is asserted that the treaty is to be eigned,in that city, and ratifications exchanged in the capital itself, according to a special ceremoniel which was itself to he made the subject of negotiation , and, of a separate. convention. This prograniMe does not strike me as being by 'any means satis factory ; and it is devoutly to be hoped. that Lord Elgin will not allow himself to be foilda of Ili' purpose of settling the terms on which our futuid intercourse with the Chitiese is to be conducted , on a basis that can never again be disturbed. Count de Persigny has come up to Paris, and leaves for England to-day, to be present at the banquet td-nlotrOW. The Petrie states that it is assured that the rePregentatii-es of the different Enroliean PowerS who have been invited • the feast, are all to accept the invitation ; thereby shoiving, if the statement be true, that they had not hitherto done so, which is rather remarkable , considering the long invitation which they received.- The fact is, I have reason to believe , that most of them declined, and that pressure of various kinds has been used to induce them to recall their refusal: The Calis6 of Freaidis IL is hourly becoming more and more desperate, Nt.iiich is probably,. the reason why the siniller German are hovt . manifesting so many demonstrations of syniridtlii, towards in the absence of any material aid, the:King of Saxony-, for instance, has chosen the present occasion as the fittest for conferring on-the King of 'the TwoiSicilies the deCoratiOti Of the domestic order of the House of Saxe, and he has transmitted the insignia of the order to Gaeta, by the hands of Count Kleist. This pitiful prOceeding will not, however, have much effect on modifying the gravity of the Royal recipient's present position. Among the different projects which have beat talked of for the solving. of the Roman questioni there is one in which it is proposed to constitute the capital of the Ch r i s ti a n W o rld, int o a " f ree .city, as the only possible means left of withdrawing it from the influence of the Piedmontese invasion. The idea, it is said, belongs 'to M: de Pet'signY o and has .been by him strongly enforced on the Emperor's . consideration. If there be any real intention on the .part of his Majesty to endea vour to have effect given to the proposal, 'it will'of course alter the determination. which, it is said, that his Holiness had again seriously entertained, of leaving Rome. . The Emperor has entrusted M. Ernest Renan , member,. of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres, with a mission, having for its object, the search for inscriptions and antiquities in Phenicia. His Majesty has been so good as t° make arrangements for defraying the expenSes of this mission on the usual scale of munificence. At the request of the Minister of Public Instruc- tion, the IVlinister of Marine has placed at tho disposal of M. Renan a certain number of instru ments which will enable M. Renan to accompany the results of his enquiry with important topo graphical observations. _ _ The Bourse yesterday was calm, and there were no transactions of any importance.

As I had anticipated -in' my letter of the `2 o d instant, the telegram has already brought you the news of the operations of the army agains t Capua, and the determination of Victor Emma' nuel to give battle to the BoU r bO n i a fo r ces which had retired beyond :the Garigliano. The capita' lation of Capua, with 11,000 prisoners, you °' course already know, as no doubt another tele" gram has informed you that General Sonnaz taken the iron bridge which crosses the Garig liano and made upwards of 150 prisoners. The royalists have• since fallen • back. noon Gaeta, and the Piedmontese have crossed the ricer: It is no* beyond all doubt certain that the unfortunate young King will be either obliged to surrender himself into the hands of Victor Emmanuel or take refuge on board an English, or French frigate, and thus for the Pre" sent put au end to this unjustifiable war on the part of the Piedmontese. To enter into the sub" Jed of probable events which are likely to follow this apparent unity of Italy is a theme too long for this letter, especially as the present is to b° dedicated to other matters. Without subscribing' to the principles or letter of , Montalembert, w° Englishmen may criticise and laugh at it as much as we like, but there is nevertheless a large amount• of truth in seine of the accusations he brings against Cavour. I do not wish to q uestion eo the wism . of the policy adopted by our Cabin et in regard to Italy, but I cannot divest myself of •,, V.." see and deeply regret the course at present Or; sued by England, which in the end can only lead to the gain of France and Piedmont, and the ulti: mate damage of England. The intervention 01 the French Admiral Barbier de Tinan is to us somewhat incomprehensible, but I believe it t ° be, only another move in the game, which 15 perfectly understood between the French EraP e " ror and Cavour. The great rapidity and importance of the polt tical events of this country have precluded 111 Y giving before this a few particulars to your: musical readers of the result of Achille Peri, opera, " Vittore Pisani." This work, although, •new for Milan, has been already given at some 01 the principal theatres of Italy, and with that hapPl success which has marked all the works of this talented composer. The 'great success that th is opera met with on the first evening of its repreee°' tation has not, like many of our new works, beel an enthusiastic ovation from a packed house of the composer's and publisher's friends, inspiring hopes of fame and pecuniary gain for a nightu f two, and then at every subsequent re p res entatia n , the poor composer to have the mertification °l c ; witnessing the cold reception of his work, and t h s not upfrequent tumult of hisses and other sie of disapprobation from a less partial and di sl , u ; terested public.. The fume of incense may shad for a' short time an idol of plaster, but when ,f disappears, the deception is but too apparent 0 all. Within the last seven years, that is fr s 1853 to 1860, we have had in this city upwa rd 5 of forty new o p eras , w hi c h is a proof that ther i.

This fact is tCP patent, that instead of having our reperto_q, enriched with twenty or thirty out of the f ° 4 l o or forty-five operas that have been broUght beloreo the public, we have not more than two or t ll , O l that can really be classed as works of any 0 1 merit.

To return to the °P_. o f The libretto of Vittore Pisani is founded on mi ti ' do the most interesting episodes of the old Ve. ne c ipal Republic, introducing to the public the prig' „ jo g. scenes of that splendid city, and the act il . ` ii i enthusiastic character of the Venetians, whi c • n t the present moment would, of itself, be 1 3111 ? i t lie to ensure the sympathy and applause 0 0 1 ,,, '00 . public, ind e p en d en tly of its merit, as a workbol_o.o. siderable a bility.
