THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENMI-; SEPTEMBER lB, 1802:.

of the Government is to efface all active remem-
brance of these painful events,and asamsga the bitterl
feelings they have excited, as soon ible. A
general amnesty would be the a/tati because
the most certain and expeditious means of accom-
plishing this essential end. On the other hand, a
trial would not only prolong the period of national
excitement and suspense, but would inevitably
rouse the passions of rival political parties, and
exasperate the already wounded feelings
of the people. It would in this way prove •
national calamity far more serious than the conflict
at Aspromonte. The prosecution of G&RIBALDI
would be sure also to tell with injurious and fatal
effect in another way. It would be attributed to
foreign influence, and this conviction would suffice
to set Italy in a flame from one end to the other.
GARIBALDI, the heroic soldier, the devoted
patriot, is the very genius of national
freedom and independence. He has protested
in loud and energetic tones against foreign influ-
ence, asserting that Italy ought to be mistress of her
own destiny. He has protested most loudly of all
against that worst form of foreign influence, the
occupation of Rome, and denounced the ruler who
by means of it has laboured to thwart the as-
pirations of the nation, and break up the unity of
the national life. His rash expedition was simply
a practical expression of this protest. It was ill.
advised, and has been promptly and easily sup-
pressed. There is no further danger on this head.
But if, after all he has suffered, GARIBALDI
should still be brought to trial, this extreme
measure will be attributed to the influence of
the potentate he has offended. It would be re-
garded as a vindictive act on the part of •
foreign, and, as events seem to show, an un-
friendly Power. And no Italian Government
could stand before the indignation that would be
aroused by the suspicion of its complicity in so

humiliating and disgraceful a transaction. In a
word, the prosecution of GARIBALDI would be re-
garded as an act of fatal subserviency to France,
and in this point of view would be a terrible blew
to the hopes and prospects of the nation.

THE MANCHESTER MEMORIAL TO THE LATE
PRINCE CONSORT.

The committee for the erection of this memorial
have at length determined upon the architectural design of
the covering for the statue by Mr. Noble, which is to be
presented by Mr. Goadsby, the mayor, to bin fellow.
citizens. The erection may be described as a square canopy
of whit* stone, open at the four sides, the openings spanned
by lofty pointed arches, each surmounted by a high-pitched
gablet, above which a tall spinet roof will rise to a total
height of 75 feet, At each of the four angles will be
square buttresses and pinnacles of rich and elaborate design.
The style is of that period of medieval architecture which
prevailed at Florence and throughout 'rnsoany between the
ages of Brunelleachi and Giotto. The basement of the canopy
will be divided into two stages, the upper of which will be
filled with a aeries of panels, five on each side, encircled with
armorial bearings. Each buttress will contain a shield
emblazoned with the arms of the late prince surmounted by
coronets. On the inner edge of the arches there will be an
effective crisping. The sloping edges of the archway will
be enriched with clustered spiral columns of Purbeck marble.
On the tops of the columns and piers will be enriched capi-
tals of elaborately carved foliage ; and from these will spring
the spiral moulding of the arches, which is to ee of the
same character as that of the pillars below. Upon each of
he pier., or buttresses, will stand a pinnacle divided into
two stages, the lower stage to be decorated with spiral
marble columns terminated with gargoyles and the upper
stags of the pinnacle to bean open canopy supported on simi-
lar spiral columns, and the upper portion greatly enriched with
tracery, foliated finials, and erocketting. FAA of the four
pinnacle canopies will contain a statuette, of which the
subject is not yet decided. Each gablet will be terminated
by a figure of an angel blowing a. trumpet. The goblets are
to be enriched with arabesques in basso.relievo, and the
centre is to be pierced with a circular opening filled with
light tracery and two intersecting equilateral triangles. The
spirit roof is to be octagonal, and terminated with a metal
coronet. There is to be a grille around the basement,
divided into compartments filled with quatrefoils. The
building will stand elevated above the pavement on five
steps, each about 12 inches high. The outside of the
greatest projection of the steps is to be 35 feet ; that of the
actual building 19 feet- the height of the basement
13 feet 6 inches ; the height of the pedestal of the statue of
the prince 21 feet from the pavement, and the total
height from the pavement to the top of the metal termina-
tion of the apiret roof, 73 feet. The design, of which the
above details are given, is by Mr. Thomas Worthington,
architect, of Manchester. The rite chosen is in front of the
Infirmary, between the two fountains. The cost in esti-
mated at from 4,0004 to 5,0001. The states which this
erection is to cover will be of Sicilian marble, 8 feet 2or 3
inches high, and will represent the prince in the robes of
the Garter, with a oopy of the rules of the order in hie
hand. . . _

Atit meeting of the committee, held at Manchester yes-
terday, the Mayor who mulled, stated that some ten or
twelve days ago dr. Noble, by command of the Queen,
submitted to her Majesty the design for the proposed erec-
tion. Her Majesty spent some time in examiclog the de-
tails, and expressed very great satisfaction with the design,
is> iog furthermore that she thought nothing of the kind
more beautiful or more appropriate could be suggested. Her
Majesty was also gratified to learn that the design was by •
gentleman (Mr. Worthington) to whom the Prince Consort
had presented the Iris medal for architectural design.

IMPORTANT kiTATIGIONT OF THI XING
OF ITALY.
A Turin correspondent writing on Moeitasays :
" I told you in one of my last letterer t the
Roman question approached a solution ; and yes-
terday my statement was confirmed by royal lips.
Yesterday (Sunday) a deputation of the provincial
council of Forli brought an address to the King in
congratulation upon the success over the Gari-
baldians. In handing that document to the
King, the Marquis Albicini, president of
the deputation, made an eloquent speech, in
which he said that 'the populations saw in the
triumph of public order the assurance of the de-
finitive and early triumph of the Italian cause ;
that Rome was the necessary crowning of
the national edifice, and that they might
rely upon the King and his government
shortly entering into possession of the eternal
city.' The King replied in that firm and
resolute tone which characterises all his operations :
Tell the populations to be tranquil and to have
every confidence ; before the end of this year we shall
be at Ronk; I beg you to say too to all your fellow-
citizens.' The deputation withdrew much moved
by the royal words. It is from one of the members
that I have received the foregoing particulars."

FROM PARIS.

(nos one OWN colazarosnorr.)
PARIS, Winssowsr Ventura.
It is curious that while the &rick treats M.
Limayrac's suggestion in the Constituticninet that
the Pope should be taken at hie word, when he
asserts that he poeticises the affection of his sub-
jects, as a serious warning that the French govern-
ment will leave him face to face with them, and
evacuate Rome, the Debate considers it as a
wretched joke, resorted to as a disguise for that
backing out which the writer has been protesting
lustily for the last week he would never be guilty
of. Up to this hour nobody, so far as I can dis-
cover, knows whether the Constautionners mani-
festo, the result, it must be remembered, of long
incubation, means anything or not. Thus does the
Emperor, through whose various agents all these
inspired paragraphs come, continue to play with the
public in the gravest matters. As a liberal
paper very well says, the imperial oracles are worse
than the oracle of Delphos. That was ambiguous,
but at any rate people knew that it was an oracle
and weighed its words accordingly. But now sounds
are scattered in rulgum ambiguos, and nobody is
allowed to know whether they are the voices of the
oracle or not.

A serious consultation labont Italian affairs is
about to takelplace at Biarritz. MM. Nigra and
d'Azeglio are on their way, and will be joined by
M. Pepoli, thegtalian minister, and the Emperor's
cousin, who has arrived in Paris this afternoon,
bringing with him, it is said, a pressing representa-
tion from the Rattazzi cabinet that it cannot hold
on unless it is enabled to promise a solution within
some reasonable time of the Roman question. Victor
Emmanuel is reported to have said that he will be
in Rome within a year.
The paucity of the news by the last mail from
Mexico yet dealt out to the public is much re-
marked upon. General de Lorencez has written to
the Emperor praying to be relieved of his com-
mand as soon as General Forey arrives. That
means, of course, that he is dismissed. The asser-
tion of the Prase that the Mexican expedition was
to be brought up to 60,000, having been taxed by
the Cotistitutionael as a gross exaggeration, and the
Patric having with a show of authority stated that the
whole army under General Forey does not amount
to 30,000, the Prase now replies by the following
figures :—General de Lorencez has at Orizaba and
Vera Cruz 7,000 men; 19,680 have Lindy been
sent from Toulon, and 16,000 from Cherbourg. So
that up to this moment there are 42,680 French
soldiers in Mexico, or 13,000 more than the number
of the maximum of the force ultimately intended
to be sent according to the assertion of the Patric
Marshal Castellane, commandant of the army
of Lyons, died in that city on Monday evening.
It is with a feeling of private sorrow impos-
sible to disguise that I announce a death
which will be bitterly felt by a large circle of my
friends in Paris. Mdme. Emile 011ivier, the young,
beautiful, and accomplished wife of the eloquent
deputy for the Seine, died last week at her country
house at St. Tropez, from the consequences of a
first confinement, which took place two months
ago. She was a daughter of Listz, the cele-
brated pianist.
The Bourse was inactive during the greater part
of the day, but became comparatively animated
towards the close. Credit Mobilier was the
favourite security to-day and rose 17fr. 50c. The
Bente, after having been as much as 20e. lower,
left off at yesterday's prices, 68fr. 700. and 68fr.
80c. The Southern Railway rose 7fr. 500. ; and
Orleans, Lyons, and Northern, 3fr. 75c. each.
Western fell 3fr. 75c.

A warning has been given by the Prefect of the
Gard to the Opinion du Midi for an article entitled
4 Duties of Catholics," and which declares that " it
is necessary for Roman catholics to coalesce in
order to obtain a protection which the French go-
vernment does not afford." The warning affirms
that the assertion eo made is false, and that, while
tending to trouble the public peace by exciting
citizens against each other, constitutes a calumnious
attack on the government.

The towns of Hamburg and Altona will be shortly
provided with street railways. The idea proceeds from one
Herr Muller, a civil engineer, who bac visited England and
the United States, for the purpose of acquainting himself
with the working of tramways in public thoroughfares. The
same gentleman has also designed a whole network of street
railways for Berlin and Vienna, and there seems to be some
prospect of the adoptioo of his proposals in the latter city.
Twelve natives of the Maldive islands were picked
up in a boat off the Ws of Prame, and landed at St. He-

some captured Africans. From British Guiana they are to

which is also to take to India a batch of looolies. These
coolies will carry home upwards of 7,0001. which they have
saved.
