NEW YORK, Nov. 1.

The election of the governor of the State of New
York, which is to take place on Tuesday next, now
fixes all attention. It is the most important which
has taken place since that of Mr. Lincoln. Seymour,
the opposition candidate, is a man so pledged to
compromise or delay, as regards the war, that his
election in the leading State of the 'Union would
argue a serious division of Northern sentiment, and
hence both parties are straining every nerve. As I
have already told you, however, the blessings of
the South which are poured on his head by every
mail are exercising an adverse influence on his
fortunes, and Fernando Wood, and some other of
the more unscrupulous members of his party, have
been a good deal too outspoken of late as to their
designs in case they succeed. Fernando, in ad-
dressing a mob of his adherents the other night,
frankly avowed his desire of deposing Mr. Lincoln,
and putting " • bold, brilliant tyrant" in his place.
This was not bad for an agitator whose main griev-
ance in the susiielision of the Baleful Cotpus 'Aet,'
and what he calls "the reign of terror." The
tongues of the malcontents wag as freely here, as
they do in Dublin under the horrible British
yoke. The victims in both cases have at least the
consolation of being allowed to give their oppres-
sors a bit of their mind "as often as they please."

TURIN, Nov. 1L

The King left Turin this morning for Piacenza,
where he is to review 12,000 men of all arms. In the
evening he will set out for Bologna, where, at noon
to-morrow, he is to review 20,000 men. The army
is very well pleased with these reviews, as they
show that the King takes an interest in the service ;
and besides, they stimulate those in command to
exercise the soldiers, and carefully watch
over their drill and discipline. The King will
thence, perhaps, go to Florence ; but he
will return to Turin before the Parlia-
ment opens, since it may happen that the
ministry will have either to resign or to dissolve the
Chamber ; and it is indispensable that the King
should be here, to take such steps as circumstances
may require. The plan to be pursued, if the minis-
try finds the Chamber hostile, is in fact decided on :
the entire Ministry are to resign. The
King is then to direct Signor Rattazzi to con-
struct a new one—though why this should be a mat-
ter of course does not appear—and he will have
one ready, in which are to be included some
of those who belonged to the Ricasoli Cabinet,
and certain influential members of the old majo-
rity. Signor Rattazzi will keep for himself the port-
folio of Foreign Affairs. Thus the new ministry would
recede from the Left without going beyond the
Left Centre,which consists of Piedmontese lawyers,
and is, properly speaking, the section to which Signor
Rattazzi belongs. Re hopes that such a ministry
would not be disliked by. M. Drouyn de Lhuys,
with whom he does not wish to become on hostile
terms, and would be tolerated by the Chambers.
Though public opinion calls on him to abandon
power, from respect for his illustrious patron, and
to avoid greater embarrassments, he will be satis-
fied with this middle course. .

The example of the orderly manner in which
the changes in Southern Italy were effected
has bad an influence on the Greek revo-
lution. I have seen a letter from one of the
chiefs of that movement, written eight days before
it took place to an Italian general, and containing
these words ; "We will do as you have done
in Tuscany ; if we can only prevent the Ultras
from plunging us in anarchy, Europe will respect
the fait accompli. And so it happened.
On Thursday, the Minister for Foreign Affairs
will give a grand farewell diplomatic dinner to
M. Benedetti, who sets out on Saturday for Paris.
The members of the diplomatic body will be in-
vited, and also Count Vimercati, who goes to
Paris in company with M. Benedetti. The latter
a little affects the victim, but he has some right to
do so. He has served his government well—he knew
Italy better than M. Drouyn de Lbuys, and be
was more thoroughly acquainted than he with the
opinions which prevail in Europe. His ideas, as
diplomatist, are more modern, and be has not
veered round so often as the minister who has
recalled him.

Good news of Garibaldi. The people of Leghorn
are angryat his having ascended the Arno in a small
boat, inatead of going from Leghorn to Pisa by
railway. They had prepared a clamorous ovation
for him. The couch he used on the journey was a
gift which he received from Germany ; it was pre-
ferred on this occasion to the one sent to him from
Eagland, as it was lighter. How wonderfully popu-
lar he is ! M. Nelaton wishes it to be known that
he came from Paris at his own expense. Garibald;
receives presents and visits from all parties. The
King in whose name he was disarmed, is deeply
attachod to him. Never, I believe, has a more
remarkable individuality appeared in this world !
Legal proceedings will commence to-morrow
against Signor Boschi, formerly secretary-general
to the Ministry of Public Works, for abuse of his
official position.
