Our fears are at an end, the Prince of Wales

Is safely landed on his native shore ;
Though hail and rain and constant eastern gales
Have rendered tedious his, passage o'er.
Most travellers by sea confess that though
When starting on their voyage all are gay,
But very soon they find things somewhat slow,
And strive in vain to kill each dreary day.
'Tis a hard task when in a swift '‘ Cunarder,"
But in a line-of-battle ship still harder.

The mighty vessel pitches, jumps, and rolls,
Day after day, and chiefly under sail ;
For such ship carries but small stock of coals,
And so her screw is not of much avail.
The only happy time in such a case
Is when each weary passenger within her
Around the cabin table takes is place,

And soothes his spirits with a first-rate dinner.
Those in the "Hero" found but small relief
In dinners off sea biscuit and salt beef.

The Prince bore his privations like a man,
And never once was heard to find a fault;
Though, as the Times' long description ran,
The food was all " the saltest of the salt."
Yet still, we are informed, on one occasion,
When all at breakfast time assembled were,
Ilia-Royal Highness made an observation
Which raised a sigh from every bosom there;
4 On this dry biscuit," he was heard to mutter,
Oh, that we had a slice of KELLY'S BUTTER."

NEWS OF 'ME DAY►

A titter from Turin, dated ionteys scime
inv
ortantintelligence i.el..;pecti-ng the ihrehaon of the
6oVernnied of Victor Emmanuel to:reconstruct, on an
entirely near footing., the system of parliamentary repre7
s.htation in /Rail,. It is stated that the GovernMe'nt of
his gajesty has arrived 'at the eonciu4ion that the
present 3'arlian?ent,dpes not ‘l.atifficientlyP ,represent
all the enexedsproYinte4 Ad therefore, that as soon as
the-int; from Sicily no time should be lost in

Aeteinbling that body, with a view to its immediate and
legal dissolution. The existing Parliament will, it is
said, be replaced by another of the same nature, in which
deputies will appear from the kingdom of Naples, from the
states of Naples, from the States of the Chureb, and from
Sicily. This latter part of the arrangement, however, is
spoken of, as' not having been definitely decided upon, as
there is a considerable Italian party which is clamouring
loudly for one .single cohstituent_atsembly elected for
the owasion only, in order to fit UpOil the constitution
for a ner Italian Atate. The friiids of Garibaldi are

leanin 'te? the utter C6urse, though without any inten-
tion 'of abandoning the idea of obtaining for their
country a constitutional representative monarchy. The
whole question here raised, is obviously one of the
highest importance, and on its satisfactory solution

'much of the future well-being of the new kingdom and
of the happiness of the people will depend. A' telegram
from Naples, dated yesterday, mentions the reception by
Victor Emmanuel of a deputation which presented to
him the result of the plebiscite. Some modifications in
the Lieutenancy of Naples are spoken of; and Poerin
has taken office under the new GoVernment, but without
a portfolio. Thu support of so amiable and distinguished
an individual is valuable Under any ciroamstances. The
'State 'Council is also Allot:fly to be convoked.

According to a eorrespondent of the 'Colone Gazette,
Russia has never pronounced against the new order 'of
things in Italy. On the Contrary, Prince 4G- ertichakok
has said that Russia had interrupted its diplomatic rela-
tions with reani.ent, not with the view of making a
"tegititnist demonstration," but as an act of homage to
the principles of the law of nations. Russia is doubtful
if Italy will succeed in consolidating the new order of
things, but she will nevertheless not hesitate to recognise
whatever shall offer guarantees for order and stability.
The Austrian Government has adopted a new measnre
of severity in Venetia. The official gazette of Venice
publishes a decree enjoining fathers of families to recall
their sons from foreign countries, even although, they
may have been sent thither for their education, Those
parents who shall persist in allowing their sons to
remain abroad are to be punished by.a fine of froth 2l
to 200 florins. The present moment can scarcely be
well chosen for restricting, in so outrageous a manner,
the indlistiial liberty of the Italian population of Aus-
tria; 'nor does the measure appear at all well calculated
to reconcile the people affected by such a restriction to
foreign rule. Surely some explanation will be offered
bf such an extraordinary course of policy.

The Order of Jesuits has addressed a memorandum to
Victor Emmanuel against the mode in which its
followers have been treated, and begging for justice and
reparation for the wrongs which the Order has suffered
for some time past in Italy. The document is dated
24th October last, and is signed by Pierre flecks, super-
intendent...general of the CeMpany Of Jesus, and thus

concludes—"ly religionists arid myself will 'console
ourselves With having been fonnd worthy to suffer
Boin'ething for the name of Jesus, with the testimony
borne by our conscience, that we have given no occa-
sion whatever for the bursting out again of ancient
hatreds against us, unless it be that we have preached
the cross of Jesus Christ, respect and obedience to the
Holy Church, and to its head, the Sovereign Pontiff,
and stbmission and fidelity to princes, and to all authori-
ties established by God."
The Times, in: a leading article, speaks approvingly
of the design attributed to the Emperor Napolean 111.
of declaring the independence of the Gallican Church,
and vesting the supremacy in the holder of the French
Crown. It also anticipates for a scheme of this kind
the sympathy and approval of the bulk of the English
nation ; but expresses doubts as to the sttiOtisileBs or the

project.
The Peririe of Wednesday evening is assured that
Wets from China, received by Way of India, and posterior
by some days to that brought by the last direct courier,
confirms the fact of the signature of the treaty of peace,
which took place at Tchang-Tcheou, near Pekin, at the
commencement of the month of last October.
The Paris Chamber of Commerce has been consider-
ing the subject of transatlantic intercourse, and the
proposed advantage of gaining two clear days in the
transmission and receipt of telegrams to North America.
Overtures had 'been recently made to the French
Government for a weekly communication direct from
Havre, vid Waterford and Galway, to the United States ;
and the important house of Malcolmson had undertaken
to connect Bordeaux, Nantes, andl Havre with the Irish
coast in a direct line for the Galway packet, under cer-
tain stipulations. The arrangement has the French Em-
peror's cordial sanction, as expressed by himself to the

deputation at the Tuileries on Sunday last, and the
member for Waterford, Mr. Blake, has mainly aided in
the matter, by obtaining the adhesion of the Bordeaux,
Marseilles, and Lyons Chambers of Commeree'to the
enterprise. The company's steamer Dee, which took
from Havre the cargo of returned conscripts of Lamori-
ciere's army direct to .Cork, was, it is said, but the fore-
runner of more productive intercourse between France
and the south coast of Ireland.
The Post says, " on a rumour that the Emperor had landed,
crowds rushed to the London-bridge and South-Western
stations. Straightway a large forte ofpolice was sent to the
South. Western station to keep the surging crowd from
to near an approach to his Majesty. A telegram, said
to have been sent from Winchester by the guard of the
2.30 train, gave a still greater impulse to the hoax, and,
on the train coming, a passenger, who bore some resem-
blance to the Emperor, received an ovation. The police
stayed three hoUrs at the station, till, finding there was
no possible need of their presence, they marched home
to Scotland-yard." This rumour has probably originated
in another, which is likelyto be much nearer the truth, viz.,
that his Majesty's finance Minister, M. l'ould, had been
received in the Pant parlnnr, in Threadneedle-street, for
the purpose of obtaining the consent of the directors to
his proposal for a loan of two millions of gold, on the
security of a deposit of silver to an equal amount. whirl,
arrangement, as is mentioned elsewhere, has been agreed
to.

The Empress Eugenie continues to be enthusiastically
received by the inhabitants of Edinburgh. On the
return of her Majesty the other evening from Melrose,
after a visit to that locality, the train on its arrival at
the station, was literally besieged—people perched
themselves everywhere ' they 'could think of that
,was
calculated to afford a good view, and some actually got
on the top of the railway carriages. As the Empress
Stepped from the train a simultaneous and hearty
round of cheering burst from the assemblage, ; but
still the utmost decorum prevailed, and her Majesty
appeared to be delighted with the cordial though
somewhat tumultuous reception accorded to her. The
future movements of the Empress are still shrouded
in mystery, but it is surmised that she will not finally
leave Edinburgh for a day or two longer. It is also
considered not unlikely, from communication passing
between Douglas hotel and Dalkeith Palace, that her
Majesty would—probably to-day— honour the Duke
and Duchess of Buccleuch with a visit.

It appears from a letter in the Limerick _Reporter that
a grand banquet se to be given to the Limerick, Clare,
and Tipperary contingent of the late Irish Brigade, on
Monday evening, the 3rd of December, in the theatre of
that city, and that General Lamoriciere, Major O'Reilly,
Cardinal Wiseman, and Archbishop Cullen will attend.
Preparations on an extensive scale, it is said, are being
male for the event, which is expected to come off with
great éclat. _ _

In the Court of Probate, on Wednesday, Judge
Cresswell mentioned, in disposing of an application to
fix a time for the trial of a probate cause, that there
w(re 200 petitions for dissolution of marriage now set
down for hearing, besides a large number of judicial
se?aration suits, and rather a long list of probate causes.
According to intelligence by the last mail from India,
Mi. Wm. A. Russell, M.A., of Magdalen-hall, Oxford,
hal been appointed Principal of Poonah College, in
sweession to Mr. Arnold, and was expected to arrive by
the mail due about the 10th or 11th November.

A is not a little remarkable that the members of the
peerage who have died since the year commenced, 24 in
nunber, have exactly completed, on the average, the full
mesure of the alloted span of human life, the
" tlree-score years and ten." They are as follows :

Dub of Richmond, 69 ; Earl Manvers, 82 ; Earl of

whih, being divided by 24, gives exactly 70 years to
each This result, it is to be believed, could not be
shown among any other class of men in any rank of
life.

Yaterday morning, between the hours of ten and
eleva o'clock, a most destructive fire broke out at the
Houe of Correction, Coldbath-fields, Clerkenwell. The
disccery was made by one of the warders observing
dens bodies of smoke issuing from the kitchen. An
alart was immediately raised, and messengers despatched
for th engines of the Leaden. Fire Brigade, which speedily

arrived, but the flames spreadwith amazing rapidity, and
it was found necessary to send-, for the new Steam land
engine, invented by Messrs. Shand and Mason, .Black-
friars-road. This was got to work in an admirable man-
ner under the direction of Mr. Engineer Gerrard, and
some thousand tons of water • were thrown on the burn-
ing pile) bat the flames extended: and caught the store-
room on the cast side of the prison. The fire Attu not
