TO TIT IDITOI OP TILT ZIPRIST.

Sts,—ls Mr. Baas's Act to become a dead letter
among us, or shall we not, by ridding the streets of London
of the uorightly and noisy Italian organ-grioder, show Mr.
Bass and the House of Commons that we are not slow to
appreciate benefits conferred? Combined action for a few
weeks on the part of the great majority of the householders
of London, who feel that the peaceable enjoyment of their
homes is worth a little trouble, will be sufficient to eater-
=loaf.* this nuisance. The use at Marlhosoegh-street
police-00nd on Saturday proves that Mr. Bass's net, if es-
forced, is sufficient for the purpose. I think the following
will meet with groom! accord.
I. The barrel-organ is noisy discord (not barreoey), used
more frequently for extortion than amusement.
2. Music can be supplied for the amusement and refine-
ment of the denizens of our crowded courts and alter;
without being a source of annoyance to that large sod lona-
testis.' portion of society who require freedom from dis-
cordant noires for the successful conduct of their daily
business

3. Musicians of tested ability on the harp, violin, state,
cooorotins, and other unobjectiooable instrnineutoshould be
Bosomed under police regulation, stations appoieted adjacent
to the crowded marts and alleys when they might play
daily. A box set up at these etatioes to receive publie
cootributions would ensure ample support, and encourage
native admit. . .

this letter call forth a response from the householders of
London, there will be no difficulty in obtaining the co.ope-
Tatum of gentlemen of influence to form a committee to set
the law in motion for surpressing this growing erd.

AL'STRALI A.

The Melbourne parliament was to meet on Dec.
26, two days after the departure of the mail The
month had been characterised by the severest
storm and the greatest flood in the Yarra ever ex-
perienced. Sandridge became au island, and traffic
was suspended for some days on the Hobson's Bay
Company's lines.
The yield of gold during the year is considered to
have fallen but little, if at all. On the older gold-
fields there has been about the usual number of
discoveries of fresh spots, and of extensions of old
leads and workings. While beneficial in some re-
spects, the wetness of the rpring and summer has
prevented much being done as yet towards opening
up the rich reefs and river diggings among the moun-
tains between the Ovens district and Gipps Land,
although more crushing machinery has been con.
veyed on pack-horses to the former, and a number
of men have collected on some of the rivers, await-
ing the time when the banks are to become dry
enough to allow of operations being commenced.
The silver mines are yet in their infancy. They
have hitherto attracted little more than private
enterprise, but now that the question of their pro-
fitable working has been solved, capital is being
attracted towards them. The Melbourne Herald
reports :—" The mining news for the last month is
generally of a very favourable character. The re-
oent heavy rains have in the Country districts
dope much good, the want of water on most of the
diggings having been the only drawback to sue-
easeful operations. Many of the goldfields have
latterly received an augmentation to their popula-
tion from a number of returned, and we presume,
disappointed miners from the Otago goldfields, the
richness of which has been certainly considerably
overrated."

"The cleanness of gold last week," says the
Argus of Dec. 24, "amounted to 26,423 oz., bring-
ing the total shipments hence since the commoner
ment of the year to 1,874,9990 a., of which
1,536,3870 z. were the produce of Victoria, and

338,6120 z. transhipments from N. Zsahind ves-
sels. The shipments to the corresponding date of
the previous year amounted to 1,9515)6900z., of
which 1,662,3610 z. were the proclaim of the Vic-
torian goldfields, and 293,3480 z. transhipments
from New Zealand vessels."

DENMARK.

Sir H. VERNEY @eked the Mar Secretary of State for
Forage Affairs whether the paper on the subject. of Den-
mark ad the Duchies of Skawig and Holstein which were to
be laid upon the table would contain the report of Vice-
Coosul Rainalt referred to by Earl Roasell in his despatch
to Mr. Paget is Jape, 1861 ; the soessoradurs on the
affairs of Sleswig apd Holstein, drawn up in told or 1856 by
Mr. Ward, her Majesty's Cheer d'Affaires in Hamburg;
sad the terms in which the guarantee of the British peers-
ment weal offered to Austria sad Prussia, that the Danish
Rigsmd would repeal the constitution of last November,
which incorporated Sleewig with the kingdom of Deems/h.
Mr. LA YA HD said the reports of Mr. Harsh and the
memorandum of Mr. Ward were strictly confidential dor-
meats ; it would, therefore, be unadvisable, in the present
etre of alloy, and would lead to no good result, to give
them to the public. The hon. member war under a mistake
is supposing that any gametes had bees gives by the'
British government that the Basra would repeal the coo-'
siltation. It moat rest with the Riguad itself, when it wee
convoked, to decide whether it would or would not do so.
The hon. ger:arra probably referred to the protocol which
had been laid upon the table with the other perm
Sir H. VERNEY wished to ask whether her Majesty's
government had cot given a guarantee that the Danish
Itigsrad would repeal the constitution ' rating Ma-
vis with the kingdom of Denmark'. (Hear, .)
Mr. LA l' AHD had already stated that her Majesty's
government could sot have given any guarantee that the
Rigged (which was • coastitationel assembly) amid re-
voke the constitution. It would of course remain with the
Rimed itself to decide what aurae it would take. What
her Majesty's government had roomed wee that • protocol
should be signed in Logsdon between the power parties to
the treaty, by which the Danish government would under-
take to all together the Riprad and submit to them a pro-
posal for the withdrawal of the constitution. Her Ma-
jesty's government could not of auras pledge themselves
that the Rowed would repeal the constitution when
it met.

JAPAN.

Japan dates to December 17 bring the informa-
tion that the Prince of Satsuma had paid the in-
' demnity demanded of him on account of the murder
of Mr. Richardson. With this, and the prince's
own assurance that he will do his best to discover
the murderers and bring them to justice, Colonel
Neale has expressed himself satisfied. The agree-
ment to seek up the murderers having been signed
and the indemnity paid, the envoys returned to
Yelo, where they gave an amount of their doings
to the Tycoon's government, who immediately ad-
dressed a congratulatory despatch to the British mi-
nister, stating their gladness and sincere satisfaction
that matters had been so far settled between Great
Britain and Japan, and expressing a hope that this
might prove to be a sign of solid, lasting peace
between the two countries. This, they say, is
their sincere desire.

The Council-General for this department was

in which he intimated that the new law affecting
the Councils-General would have a largely decen-
tralising character. It would also be very liberal,
and confer upon the Councils-General the most
entire authority over departmental affairs, restrain-
ing their bonds of subordination towards the state
solely to the subjects affecting general interests,
the unity of the territory, or the rights of political
sovereignty. The speech of K Ronland, at Rouen,

all the lodges of his jurisdiction have been convoked
for the lbth September, to elect his successor. It
is said that their choice will most probably fall on
M. Mordini.

in public of the reactionary journal, Unita e Liberia,
mentions that, with one exception, all the Italian
journals have blamed that act of videnos. The

manifestation, and has provoked the following

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

There are great rejoicings in Germany about the
forthcoming interview between the King of Prussia
and the Emperor of Austria. "The visit of the
Bing of Prussia to Vienna," say the papers, "is an
event of the highest significance, as setting forth
the glorious results of the union between the two
Powers, and as strengthening the conviction, which
is rapidly gaining ground everywhere, even in
Prussia, that this union constitutes the most solid
security for the peace of Europe and for the inde-
pendence of Germany."

DISTURBANCES IN GENEVA.

GENEVA, Amos? Z.

The disturbances at Geneva yesterday arose from,
the radical committee having the previous clay,
annulled the election of M. Chenevihre, the conser-
vative candidate to the Council of State. On this
becoming known the conservatives surrounded the
building in which the sittings of the council were
held. The inhabitants of the Faubourg Saint Ger-
vais armed themselves, and a conflict ensued, in
which four persons were killed and 15 wounded.
K Fornerod and Colonel Barmann, the Federal
commissioners who subsequently arrived with a
battalion of militia, hare restored order, and the
disturbances have now terminated.
BERME, Amon 23.•

The Federal Commissioner who had been des-
patched to Geneva announces that tranquillity had
been re-established. The government of the canton
had regained freedom of action, and has ordered
that an inquiry be made into the facts, and the
cause of the collision.

The Federal Commissioner reports that agitation
at Geneva had recommenced, the contending parties
refusing to lay down their arms. He had therefore
ordered the Federal troops to eater the town.

CLOSING OF THE DIET.-THE KING'S
SPEECH.
DRESDEN; AUGUST 23.

The Saxon Diet was closed by the King to-day.
His Majesty in his speech mentioned the favourable
financial state of the country, and dwelt upon the
fact that the renewal of the Zollverein treaty on the
part of Saxony will secure her commercial future.
A hope was expressed that the Sleswig-Holstein
question would find a favourable solution, and one
in accordance with the rights and wishes of Ger-
many.

The King regretted that the Saxon troops were
prohibited from actively taking part with the allies
in the late war, and said :—" The unshaken disci-
pline and the strict fulfilment of their duty under
difficult circumstances by the Saxon troops mast,
however, be acknowledged, and those are qualities
as necessary to the soldier as valour on the field
of battle. This testimony is due to those brave
men."

EXPRF-38 FitOM PARIS.

(not out ow, oomeposum.)
PARIS. MONDAY EVERNO.

My anticipation that the newe of the two journals
which affirmed that the Emperor of Russia was
coming to Toulon and Paris would turn out to be
false is confirmed by the fact. The Czar is at this
moment travelling through Germany on his way to
St. Petersburg. Not a whisper is uow heard of
any political result of the interview. I believe
there is nose.

The Patric announces that the court wilt go to
Compiegne ou Monday, Nov. 7, to stay there one
month.

Without knowing how far the impression may
be reliable that the change in the Austrian cabinet
indicates a more friendly feeling towards France,
I cannot but notice that the semi-official organs
here interpret the event in that sense. The
Pays to-night has two paragraphs calculated
to curry favour for Austria in France. One
says that the raising of the state of siege in
Gallicia (of which province the new minister,
Count Mensdorff Pouilly, was lately governor) has
been resolved upon " on principle ;" and that the
measure will probably be decreed at the opening of
the Reichsrath, the government embracing that
occasion to " mske " (fairs) the elections. This
candid use of the term fair in reference to elections
is almost in itself an indication of a French alliance.
The other paragraph gloats over the idea of coming
dissensions between Austria and Prussia. The re-
treat of Count de Recbberg, we are told, is
generally considered at Berlin as an event
which must affect the existin4 relations be-
tween those two powers, and differences, of
perhaps a serious nature, may be expected
to arise upon the two important questions which
yet remain to be settled ; viz., the succession in the
duchies and the customs question.

The Bourse has been somewhat better than on
Saturday ; but in consequence of the holiday to-
morrow (All Saints'-day) a great many speculators
abstained from entering into fresh engagements.
Reute rose 10c. for cash, closing at 6-tfr. 75c. Fur
account there was no change, the last price being
641 r. 65c. Mobilier rose 7fr. 50c. Railways were
about `..'fr. 50c. higher.

A private "dress rehearsal.' of the Hidden Hand
—the chief drama with which Mr. Horace Wigan will in-
augurate his management to-morrow—waa given last
night at this house in the preemies of • large and
feahiocable company. The piece is an adaptation of
L'Aatile, and the cast of characters comprises Mr. Henry
Neville, Mr. Coghlan, Mr. Maclean, Mr. Vincent, Mr.
Cooper, Min Kate Tern, Mire Louise Moore, Miss Bowring,
and Miss Farren (their first appearance here), and Min
Lydia Foote. The other pieces will be The Girl I Lilt
Behind Me, an adaptation, by Mr. Oxenfonl ; and My
IrtiCe Bonnet, an adaptatine, by Mr. Maddison Morton.
Mr. Horace Wigan will not play on the fist
night, but the two farces will be supported by
Mr. J. G. Taylor, a new low comedian, from
the country, Mr. Soutar, Mr. Andrews, and some
well-known members of the last Olympic company.
The house has been thoroughly cleaned and re-decorated,
and it now presents an exceedingly cheerful appearance, in
which crimson is the predominating colour. The new drop-
scene is a well-painted fancy Grecian view—a pleasant
change from the old Venetian drop which we had got
heartily tired of. The seats have been re-arranged, the
ventilation and lighting have been improved, and every care
has been taken to provide for the comfort of the audience.
The new lessee and manager (Mr. Horace Wigan) is one o
the most satisfactory and versatile actors on our stage, and
we Lave no doubt that his management will be marked by
sense, enterprise, and talent.
