It inay boy a more terrible one than any he has yet
encountered, trying and severe though the ordeal has
been through which he has passed since the first tidings
reached his ears of Garibaldi's successful landing on the
coast of Sicily. The unhappy young Monarch. burst
a •blood-vessel on Thursday last, and a steamer had
arrived at Naples for medical assistance. With a hody
enervated by the unhealthy fraitting to Which his youth
was eXpoted by the cruel tapribe of his tyhmnical and
big4ted fathei., and with a triind exhausted by anxiety
and diSapp.niinintent, and Wearied by vain regrets; already
separated kin his wife and children, contemplating the
inevitable extinction of his dYnastY, the growing con-
solidation of that of the rival by whom he has been
sUperseded, and the Sentence of perpetual banishment
Passed upon him by his pedple, rho need be stihprised to
learn that tlk Stiereign of the Two Sicilies has alto-
gether succumbed in presence of so many trials and
calamities . ,
A private letter iroM Venetia 3 ftirriished some new
nd precisl details respecting the Atistriait amity in
Venetia: 6.‘rding tb thit; ateminti Austria pcssesses at
this, moment; in Venetia, aft army of 130,600 men,
divided into four cerps. One guards the line of the
Merico, another that of the Adige, a third watches the
Po, and the fourth, under the -command of the Arch-
duke Albert, is charged with the defence of the city
and province of Venice, as well as the Venetian shore
from the 111-aestra to the tnotith ni" the Taglianiento.
'this large army is quite on a war footing, and possesses an
immense park of artillery, composed almost exclusively
of rifled cannon. The cavalry, which at present
arapnikts, to el,rfoo iniinediately increased
to io,vbfi. Independently of these forces, AuStria has
alio another army of 150,000 occupying a line of great
extent, and concentrated chiefly at Brixen, Klagenfurt,
Laybach, Trieste, Fiume, and Cattaro ; she will thus
have, in case of war, for the defence of her different
possessions in upper Italy, and on the Adriatic, an army
of about 300,000 inen,
Atistkia ilo*cver, we are assured, not-
withstanding all these preparations, not take the offensive,
but she fully expects to be attacked in the spring, and she
quite nnderstands that the struggle will be a terrible
one. 'the Italians, who are ngw niarshalling,iii great
numbers against lien; aid are bktei•bi"ffanitiecl than in
will possess a fieet greatly superior to her own,
and, besides, a powerful diversion on the coast of
Hungary is also fully counted on. These facts, it is
observed, will equalise the chances of war, and by
removing the theatre of operations to a distance, diminish
the advantages which Austria claims from the possession
of the Ruadriliteiali fly .the side .of the feiregoing, it is
evitaitily hot a little bililons t 6 b 6 itifbitied, oft the
same day, by the Herald' s Paris correspondent, that the
negotiations for the cession of Venetia have been coat-
*need; and that a. hing conference took place on Wed-
iiesdat FOreigp OfilCe ,on the subject, between M.
ThoA ;enhi, Prin6 Metternich,. and Si: de Klisekffi At
the same time, it must be kept in view, that Austria was
never in a better position than now to negotiate.
It is said that as the Pope refuses to consecrate Mgr.
Maret, the Bishop of Vannes, the Emperor has resolved
to dispense with the Papal exquatur. It seems there
is a precedent by which the imposition of hands by three
pishops can he substituted for the consent of his noliness,

The lifoniteur publishes the terms of a convention
between the governments of Sardinia and France,
relative to the annexation. of Savoy and Nice, which
provides, among other things, for the arrangement of
that portion of the public debt of 'Sardinia which was
to be, 'chargeable against these provinces:
thb origin ot. the report that the EttiPercii of the
French had suddenly arrived in this country, has not
been traced. It seems to haie emanated from the
London and Sotith-Western RallWay. It is stated that
the OfAceis of the company received intelligence from an
Unoifibial source, that his Majesty *mild ariiie. Sdrne
of the directors who had been summoned by telegraph
were iii attendance to receive him. A foreign, journal
states that, upon returning to France; it is not impossi-
ble that the Empress Eugenie will stop at Windsor, and
that the ljniperor NaPdlbon Will come over to meet her:
The telegraph bringi a confirmation in a definite form,
of a statement in our Paris letter, relative to certain
iiiodifications; which are there said to be in contempla-
tion, hi the dabiriet.'or Cotincil of Ministers of Napoleon
fir. dotint de Persigiii, who has returned to Ilaris, and
Count Walewski, who was erroneously reported as his
probable successor-at- the Court of St. James's, are now
mentioned as likely to displace two members of the
existing Ministry ; and their accession to the Council
is regarded as indicative of a modification of -the
present Imperial rule. , We trust it will be so.

Intelligence has been received from Naples that the
fate of the English regiment or brigade has been decided
on ; a return
,laaving been obtained of the, names of those
who wish to return 'mime. The regiment has cost Vidor
Emmanuel some £20,000, it is said, out of which only
about a fourth has been subscribed in this country, , The
siege of Gaeta is being pressed forward, and it is thought
,that the garrison cannot hold out, though bets were being
made at Naples that the place will not be taken before
Christmas. •

The telegraphic news • from America is important.
The secession movement in the south continues to gain
strength. In Virginia, Washington, South Carolina,
&c., great excitement exists, and serious apprehensions
'for the public safety are felt.
There has been a terrible steamboat explosion on the
Mississippi. The ve3sel was bound from Memphis to
New Orleans on the 31st ult., when the boiler exploded.
One account says that thirty persons, and the other
nine persons were killed, and it is said that forty or
fifty persons were badly wounded.

Trade is now better in Ireland than it has been for
many previous years. In the course of a discussion at
the board of the North Dublin Union, on Tuesday, the
gratifying fact was mentioned that there is not now
a single tradesman within the workhouse, a circum-
stance which presents -a remarkable contrast as regards
former years. The number of inmates has also greatly
diminished.

On Thursday a Board of Trade inquiry was commenced
at the Greenwich Police-court into the circumstances
attPnainEr the loss of the Uonnaught on her voyage from
Galway. Captain R. Leitch, the commander, Mr. John
Hare, the chief mate, and Mr. George Stewart, chief
engineer, gave exidence of the leak, and subsequent out-
break of the fire, but nothing was elicited regarding the
origin. The inquiry was adjourned.
The Glasgow Daily kali has a flowery and enthusiastic
description of a grand ball at Hamilton Palace on Tues-
day night. "Her grace,", we are told, " was remarked
to look exceedingly well and 'happy, and besides her
usual jewellery, wore a necklace of brilliants of peculiar
beauty, which, we were informed, vas acquired at a cost
of £lO,OOO. Her grace did not dance. Not an insig-
nificant item in the display, as lending to the effect, was
the splendid state liveries of his grace's retainers, which
is of a beautiful description : embroidered scarlet,
inwrought conspicuously with the arms of the noble
house. Their stockings cost two guineas a pair (sic).
Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves vastly. The very
atmosphere was exhilarating, and suggestive of poetry
and romance."
It has been ascertained that Mr. King has courteously
surrendered his peculiar views, and that henceforth there
are not likely to be any more dissensions in the unfor-
tunate parish of St. George's-in-the-East.
The undergraduates at Cambridge have affirmed at
the Union, by a majority of 10 to 28, " that the
general tone of the Saturday Review is subversive of
the principles of true criticism."
The Empress of Austria, it will be seen, arrived at
Plymouth yesterday morning, in the royal yacht Vic-
toria and Albert, which Her Majesty the Queen of
England had considerately placed at the disposal of her
Imperial sister, whose state of health has rendered a
temporary sojourn in. Madeira necessary. It was not
expected that this second Imperial visitor to our shores
would land. The appearance of the Empress is thus
described by the Ind6pendanee Beige :—" The Empress
is a woman of noble bearing, with rich black hair, black
eyes, features strongly marked and highly distinguished.
She looked very much fatigued. She wore a black
velvet hat, with jet ornaments ; a very fine black veil
over her face, a black dress, a velvet cloak of the same
colour, with rich furs. Her Majesty appeared to suffer
little. She carried her head erect, and saluted with
much grace the persons collected round the imperial
carriage."
On Sunday last the Right Hon. Geo. Henry Roper-
Curzon, Lord Teynham, preached two sermons in the
Baptist Chapel, Pole-street, Preston, in aid of the funds
for liquidating the debt upon that place of worship. ,
