THE ROMAN QUESTION.

The Si4cle of to-day says :

For many years the press has not presented a more
striking spectacle than that which it presents at present.
The interpreters of different opinion% who have been
accustomed to make war on one another, are united in the
same thought, and emulously desire that the work of Ita-
lian unity should receive its final completion. They are
unanimous in asking of France that she should oars
to protect a government which insults her, and
after seeing so many attempt" at conciliation fail
that she should leave the Romans muters of
their own destiny. The remarkable fusion which
has been effected on this question amongst the immense
majority of the organs of publicity in Four e has extended
itself to foreign countries, and from one end of Europe to
the other almost but one voice is heard which demands a
solution in the name of rnillOn, too long disregarded and
outraged by obstinate cardinals ; in the name of Europe,
disturbed and almost paralysed ; in the name of Italy,
whose soil is drenched with the blood of its beet
patriots ; in the name of the papacy heel',
threatened by an it...parable schism. We berm
this solution to be imminent. The Marquis de
Lavalette left Route for Paris on the 28th of Bvptember.
The business of the embassy will be conducted in his ab-
sence by Baron Barnard, second secretary. The ai.lval in
Paris of the diplomatist who wrote the despatch of the
24th June, 1862, is of good sugary for Italy. With the
redound knowledge which he powers of the disposition
of the ratifies' court, and that of the Raman people, be will
prove bow impossible it is to uphold a government of midi.
nals by the aid of foreign bayonet'.

THE EX-KING OF NAPLES.

A letter from Rome of Sept. 23, in the Temps,
says :

It really must be true that the King of Naples is pressed
for money. He has again been selling something. M.
Bermudez de Castro, the Spanish ambassador, or more pro-
bably the Spanish p,ernmect in his name, has just pur-
chased from the ex-King the little Femme palace—the
Farnesina—which contains Raphael's famous " Triumph of
Galatea," and the Psyche. This palace, on the banks of the
Tiber, is in a damp and dilapidated state. M. B. de
Castro intends to render it habitable. He will restore
several frescoes, but has taken an oath th►t neither the
Galatea nor the Psyche shall be touched. In Italy they
are much more distrustful of picture cleaners than is, alms.
the case in Paris.

GARIBALDI.

SPEZZIA, Serr. 26.

Garibaldi continues to amend—that is, the con-
dition of the wound is favourable. The exfoliation of the
bone goes oa without increase of pain or fever, and then
is no appearance of inflammation in the surrounding soft
parts. There la, therefore, every prospect of his recover-
ing, and also of his regaining the use of his limb, with, of
course, diminished mobility. It would be difficult to
imagine a state of more perfect rest and tranquillity than
that he presents. He is not, I believe he never was, much
given to reading, and be was always a thoughtful, silent
man, so that his visitors are surprised to find no trace of
in:twines or ennui on one whose long hours are passed
without occupation. But eo it is; he receives those who
are permitted to see him with a quiet gentle courtesy and a
pleasant smile, but he speak' very little, and as little does
he invite conversation.

Books and newspapers abound in his room ; but I have
heard that he seldom asks a question as to what the world
outside is saying or doing. To ssy that he " broods',
would be to oonvey a false impression ; but he lies M a
state of quiet thoughtfulness, like one who asked nothing
but what he himself could command from his own re-
-00211X.5.

His attendants watch him with a solicitude that cannot
be surpassed. Not a word is spoken above a whisper—not
a footfall is heard on this floor ; and in the aspect of the
wounded hero, as he lies propped up, so as to see the blue
waters of the bay, and the far off mountains of Curare,
and in the unbroken stillness around, there is a something of
solemn peacefulness, very touching and very impressive.
His eyes were lighted up with an unwonted brightness,
and there was a slight tremor in his voice once. It was
when speaking of England, and all the solace and sympathy
he had met from Englishmen ; and when one of our country-
men, in his eagerness to say something iu Italian, forgot
the exact word be wanted, Garibaldi said, '• Speak it in
English. The sound of it is always a pleasure to me."

Another correspondent writes :

I chanced to be the bearer of a letter to Garibaldi from
one of his dearest friends. In his letter I knew that the
writer had expressed his opinion very strongly on the in-
trigues of the MASZ/Diall party, which he accused of having
betrayed the hero of Marsala. The general read it care-
fully, and then, to the manifest astonishment of his atten-
dants, turned to ins and said, "Our friends deceived ; be
must have got these ideas from those people at Turin."
Theo, after a passe, he resumed, in the deep, solemn
tones which are natural to him when interested,
"Msazinians ! Massini ! 'tis folly. What is Manini to me,
and what had be to do with this question r Then,
turning tome, be said, " I was induced by no one. I
moved because it was my duty ! After • hundred lucky
marches, I have had one unlucky, and I am crippled ; but
for that, I should have entered Rome as I entered Naples."
He has not said so much, I am told, since Aspromonte. I
bed had a letter from Paris in the morning, and I men-
tioned that my correspondent had written that the Garibaldi
meetings of London were very badly viewed at the Tulle'
ries. And here I most tell your readers that the general,
changiog from his solemn and almost prophetic tones, said
in the most natural manner in the world, " I wish the
devil would take that Emperor, for he interferes with
everybody!"

A letter from Cassel mentions the death of M.
Hsaseimbleg (formerly the Chief Minister of Hesse), ou the
25th, at Marboarg. For some time past he had lost all his
intellectual faculties. . . . . .

A Madrid letter says :—" A box containing
100,000 fr. was stolen yesterday from the treasury of the
military administration. Several of the clerks who had
access to the iron safe have been arrested on suspicion. This
event has made ► great noise ►t Madrid, as several important
thefts have already been committed by persons belonging to
the army."
"It is affirmed," says the Austrian Gazette,
"that the manufacture of gun-ootton is abolished in
Austria. This fact ooefirrns the report that a proposal had
been made in high quarters to abandon the use of gun.
cotton for the service of the army, and to transform the
artillery constructed for its use into ordinary guns."
The Constituent Assembly of BLle-Campagne
has just come to a decision which has caused some sensation
among the gentlemen of the long robe in that canton. It
has ruled that everyone may plead his own cause before
the courts of law, or have it done for him by anyone he
may think at to select, advocate or not.
Private letters from Russia state that the eman-
cipatios scheme will now propped without farther hindrance
"as the pseuds find that they cannot have the land for
nothing, and that applications for further concessions wilt
be useless." One nobleman writes that be is happy at no
longer possessing a single serf, and that be has commenced
letting hie hod out in farms as in this country. He says,
moreover, that his income will not be curtailed for more
than a year or two.

FROM PARIS

11101[ 001I' OWN (

PARIS, NOIfDLY SMUG.

Letters from Italy continue to speak most hope-
fully of the Roman question. It is reported that
Prince Napoleon took his seat side by side with
K Rattazzi in a ministerial council, an event
which I should not have thought calcuLited
to strengthen the failing confidence of
the Italians in the " nationality " of that
minister. It has been remarked that
the Conditutionnel, while professing to see
in the Moniker's disclosures a complete
triumph for its own "line of policy," carefully
abstains from stating which of the many lines of
policy which its editor, M. Paulin Limayrac, has
suppor;.ed at short intervals, is the one now
officially ooufirmed. Not a word about the
evacuation of Rome can M. Limayrac now
be provoked to utter—he deals only iu adula-
tion and generalities. The France puts the issue
between the rivals for official favour very fairly. It
says, " The Constitutionael argued lately that the
French army should leave Rome ; our doctrine was
that it should stay. The Constitetionne/ says
that we are repudiated by the Monsieur. if the
occupation shall be abandoned, we will admit the
Gonstitutionners victory ; but at present our troops
remain in Rome, and our position is that they will
remain there." In furtherance of its own interpre-
tation of the Moniker, the Prance calls attention
to the great importance of those words at the
head of the Moniker which I have already
twice remarked upon, " Conciliation has not
ceased to be (u'a pas cease) the object of the
Emperor's policy." The too sanguine friends of the
Italian cause would do well to ponder upon the
fact that these words formed the prominent feature
of the short telegraphic despatch which K de Per-
signy sent to all the prefects as the key to their
action upon public opinion in the provinces.
The approach (I do not mean the immediate ap-
proach) of the general elections is indicated less by
any positive information than by little anecdotes
of the prefects, who are preparing to take the field
with their usual zeal and their usual disregard of
legality and fair play in favour of the government
candidates. Already they are doing their utmost
to prevent those members of the Corps Legislatif
who are intended to be thrown out from holding
any communication with the electors, even were it
only about rain or fine weather. The Union Franc
Constoiee gives a striking anecdote on this subject,
The Marquis d'Andelarre, deputy of the Haute-
&bee, was, like all his fellow-deputies except five,
sent to represent the people on the nomination of
the Emperor. He lately presided at an agricul-
tural meeting at Vesoul, where he made
a purely bucolic speech, containing not the
slightest political allusion unless, indeed,
the expression of an opinion that "to serve
agriculture was at the same time to serve one'
country and the Emperor" may be called one.
But inasmuch as he is not to be a government can-
didate next time, the prefect put his speech in the
"index," and the semiofficial paper, the Journal
de la Haute-Saone, was prohibited from inserting
it. It was feared that the eloquence of the mar-
quis, however inoffensive in itself, might have some
effect upon the mind of the peasant elector, and
that the safest thing was to keep him from reading
it. Such is the system. I am, of course, not sorry
for the Marquis d'Andelarre, who, owing his seat
to government patronage, cannot be beard to com-
plain of that patronage being transferred to other.
But I cannot believe in the permanence of a system
of universal suffrage which assumes that the sove-
reign elector is not competent to choose between
rival candidates, if they are all allowed to commu-
nicate with him freely.
The Correctional Tribunal gave judgment this
morning in the affair of the twenty-two printers
prosecuted for a coalition to raise their wages.
Three were acquitted, hut the remaining nineteen
were found guilty, and sentenced to various terms
of imprisonment, varying from one month to ten
days. The conviction, as the law stands, was
almost a matter of course, though from their great
respectability, sad an impression that they have,
been ill-used, public sympathy was on the side of
the men. M. Berryer, who defended them, dwelt
forcibly upon the harshness of the present laws,
which have found no substitute for the trades cor-
porations abolished by the great revolution, and
now leave the workmen absolutely powerless against
the permanent coalition of the masters.
A suicide was committed yesterday (Sunday)
evening at the Bal Mabille while the dancing was
going on. A young man blew his brains out with
a pistol and fell down dead. Two eergenta de
villa forthwith produced a stretcher, kept ready in
case of accident, and took the corpse away.
The Bourse continues very firm. Rent. rose
10c. for cash and 20c. for account, closing at
70fr. 10c. and 70fr. 30c. Mobilier rose 25fr. The
Italian Loan is without change. The Southern
Railway rose 6fr. 25c. ; in other lines there is
little alteration.

DRAMA.

HAYMARKET.

Although Lord Dundreary still continues to be the
chief attraction at this theatre, and his emestricities seem
to grow more emoting to crowded auditions at each repo_
siltation, a few changes were introduced into the bill of
fare last night which require a pearieg notice. The cast of
the American Cousin was changed at various important
points ; Florence Trenchard, made so interesting by the per-
formance of Mrs. Charles Young, being given to Miss Lucy
Rushton, from the Theatre Royal Meech/NW ; Mrs. E.
Pitcwillirm sustaining Mary Meredith—a part formerly
filled by Miss M. Oliver; and Mr. M'lntyre, from the
Theatre Royal Dublin, filling the place of Mr. Villim as
Leateseot Vernon. Ot Kn. E. Fitzwilliant's set.
leg it is unnecessary to say more than that it
was as pleasing and as womanly sa ever. Miss
Rushton has a commanding figure and a pleasing tome,
with considerable command of the stage, and although she
bad much to contend with in the recollection of Mn. Young
in the same part, she came out of the ordeal very sates&
torily. Mr. ll'lntyre is young and has good looks is his
favour, and with practice be may fill a line of characters for
which there seems to be few promising competitors.
Before the comedy, Miss E Romer made bar reappearance
at this house after her long engagement at the St. James's
Theatre, in A Daughter to Momy. She was warmly re-
ceived, and Nang an interesting ballad, written expressly fat
her by Mr. William Broogh, the music being composed by
Mr. Alfred Mello.. After the comedy, a new farce of
rather a sketchy nature was introduced, called Dtoi Hunt.
lie fun turns upon some well-worn complications arising
out of the motet marriage of a young barrister living in
chambers, and the search after a runaway husband by a
deserted wife. Mr. W. Farren, Mr. Howe. Mr. Compton,
Mrs. Wilkins, and Mir Hill did all they could far this trifle,
and it was received with approval.
