THE QUEEN'S Rwrusw To BaLwoaar..—Her
Majesty left Glenfiddoch on Friday shortly after ten
o'clock, and arrived in Duff town about ten minutes before
eleven. Though the loyal people of Dufftovrn had but
very short notice of her Majesty's intention of returning
to Balmoral on Friday, the arrangements and tasteful
decorations in honour of the auspicious occasion did them
much credit, and no effort seems to have been spared to
give such a welcome to her Majesty as the circumstances
would permit. On arriving at Fife Woollen Mills (origi-
nally termed Cathie Mills) the reins were drawn, and
the open conveyance in which the royal viaitor was
mated moved slowly up the ascent to the town.
Her Majesty was accompanied by the Princess
Louise, Lady Churchill, and Sir Thomas Bid-
dulph. Mr. Thomson, Fife Mills, had two Bags waving, nem
on his dwelling-house and one on the mills, the latter
having the inacriptions " Welcome Victoria," and " God
save the Queen." As the royal carriage passed along Fife-
street, flags were waving on the houses of Mr. Cowie, dis-
tiller ; Mr. Petrie, banker ; Mr. Walker, banker ; Mr.
M'Phersou, builder; Mr. Myren, butcher; Mrs. Legg,
Royal Oak; Mr. Kitty, baker; Mrs. Crib, innkeeper;
Mr. Chalmers, druggist, &a Stretching from the house
of Mr. Chalmers across Fife-street was a triumphal arch,
supported by two Sr trees newly cut from the wood for the
purpose, in the centre of which was the royal standard beau-
tifully formed of &mermaid avers resat, and on the top a flag
was waving with the words "Welcome to the north our
noble Queen." Here the Dufftown band were stationed, and
while her Majesty was passing, played "God save the
Queen." The whole of the streets through which her
Majesty pared were lined with speotaton, and on the
square an immense crowd was collected. During her
Majesty's progress through Fife-itreet, the Square, and
Conval-street, the inhabitants of Dufftown and those from
the country evinced their loyalty to her Majesty by vocife-
rous cheering and waving of handkerchiefs, which her
Majesty repeatedlT acknowledged in her usual gracious
manner. Her Majesty's route to Balmoral was through
Glenrinnes, Glenlivet, Tomintoul by Castle of Coogarff,
and Gardenshell, the shooting lodge of the Prince of
Wales. Her Majesty's own horses met her at Tornahash,
about fourteen miles from Balmoral, where she arrived
safely on Friday night.—Thintly Express.

ITALY.

(MON oci OWN COI

FLORENCE, Sam. 26.

In spite of official and semi-official assurances
yesterday, to the effect "that perfect tranquillity
prevailed throughout the kingdom," the truth is
that a great number of large and small demonstra-
tions, more or less mischievous, have prevailed
throughout Italy from north to south on the sub-
ject of Garibaldi's arrest. Milan, Naples, Genoa,
Verona, Siena, and Pistoja have each had their
disturbances, all giving vent to their feelings in
divers w*s. For example, at Pistoja, • fiery
little city, as we all know, the demonstration took
a turn against the clergy. The crowd which had
assembled to leok.at Garibaldi at the station when
on his way to Alessandria, thwarted in their desire
to see him, and probably in their intention
to set him at liberty, directed their rage
against the priests. They stabbed a canon,
who lies dangerously wounded, and also
an advocate who endeavoured to appease
the riotous crowd. A characteristic letter has been
published by a friend of Garibaldi, Pietro Del
Vecchio (who accompanied him as far as Pistoja,l
on his way into captivity) on the subject of the
general's capture. Garibaldi was, according
to this letter, stopping at a friend's house,
at Sinalunga, when a company of the 37th Regi-
ment of Infantry arrived, early on the morning of
the 24th inst., and surrounded the house whilst he
was yet asleep. About 6 a.m., when the general
had risen, an officer of Carabineers, without fur-
ther ado or preparation, handed over to him a
warrant of arrest. On learning the purport of the
warrant the genera], who was sitting up in bed
preparatory to his morning's ablutions, asked " if
he might take his usual bath ?" "Yes," was the
reply ; half an hour was granted for the purpose
required. The general (before his departure from
Sinalunga) was seen in the street, sitting on a
" biroocino" or " jaunting car," placidly taking
leave of his friends and followers, who were
weeping around him. In spite of the presence of
the troops the cry of " Roma, Roma, " was heard
re-echoing at intervals through the streets. These
cries were uttered by an enthusiastic crowd, already
prepared, by the general's presence, to consider
the expedition to Rome as a success. The self_
elected " guard of honour" to the general, who
invariably attend him wherever he goes, and on all
such occasions don the historical red shirt, was
placed under arrest. The general parted at Pistoja
with the friends who had accompanied him on his
way to Aleseandria. They were told that they
were at liberty, Garibaldi alone being under
restraint. Garibaldi at this juncture handed over
to Del Vecchio a hastily written paper he had dashed
off between Signs and San Donnino, and requested
Del Vecckio to make the best use of his freedom by
forthwith publishing it.
The rioting in Florence, which commenced on
the evening of the 24th, and which I men-
tioned in my last letter, has been renewed every
evening since with more or less violence. On
the 24th one soldier was killed by repeated
stiletto wounds, several persons were dangerously
wounded, and some fifty arrests were made. The
conduct of the troops has been beyond praise.
Both on the first eventful night, and since,
their forbearance has been specially notable.
While patrolling the streets and mounting guard
these brave fellows have been constantly hissed,
spat upon, and reviled with every term of execra-
tion by the crowd. The soldiers have never reta-
liated, have evinced extraordinary forbearance, and
have given an example of a patience and obedience
to duty and discipline in the highest degree com-
mendable. These stalwart, handsome, well-equipped,
warm-blooded Italians had been told " not to
raise a finger" against the people ; and they lite-
rally allowed themselves, in many cases, to be
injured rather than disobey. Day and night patrols
of cavalry and infantry, and strong detachments of
the Guardia Nationale, the latter called under arms
by an appeal from the Gonfaloniere of Florence,
Count Digny, mounted guard over the city. The
second day, like the first, passed peaceably enough
until nightfall,whenthe usual tumultuous criesarose
of "Morte a Rattazzi ;" " Fuori Garibaldi" (release
Garibaldi), and " Viva Garibaldi." The band was
made up originally of some 100 turbulent agitators.
These formed the nucleus of the gathering,

which was followed by a vast crowd
of curious hangers-on, and by a • great -
number of women ; for Garibaldi, besides being
especially a popular hero, is known to be the
friend of the weaker sex. This crowd, whose oourse
, bad, on several occasions, been impeded by the
squadrons of mounted troops, or infantry, to whom
posts had been assigned throughout the most
important quarters of the city, at length came up
to the Via Maggio across the bridge, where it was
again arrested by the infantry and a detachment of
the National Guard. The hisses, yells, and revil-
ings of the crowd were fearful at this point. An
intimation, several times repeated, was given to
the rioters to disperse, but this made matters
worse. Taking up the flags and loose portions of
the pavement, which in that portion of the city is
undergoing repair, they hurled them at the sol-
diers with such force that several of the men were
hurt. A sergeant of the National Guard was severely
Mimed in the head. His comrades, unable any
longer to remain cool under such provocation, charged
the crowd with the.bayonet three different times.
After this the rioters fled lostily.across the bridge.
emensan remained behind, with bad bayonet
wound. This evening (26th) there has been no more
dlaturbsnce.' Many arrests have been made among
' the rioters of the previous days. The stolen arms
have also for the mod part been recaptured and
given back to their owners. Although few lives
have been lost, and the rioting has mostly
ended, yet public agitation is not yet quelled. We
live as it were on the edge of a volcano, and we know
not when the hidden flames are to break out. All
here are on the tiptoe of expectation of great
events. People believe in the realisation of
Garibaldi's plan. Something extzaordinery, in
fact, is expected on the Roman territory, and many
suppose it will take place on Sunday, 29th. Mean-
time, the great majority of the reasoning and culti-
vated citizens approve of Garibaldi's arrest, though
regretting most deeply the fatal necessity for
it. The destinies of Italy, they say, would have
undoubtedly been compromised by a rash and ill-
timed aggressive movement on Rome, to say no
thing of the necessity of keeping faith with France.
The democratical party, the ultra-liberals, and
party of action, are all literally furious at the
arrest. It is asserted that the general has had
a choice of residence between Caprera and
Aleasandria (where he is at present detained). It is
said that he has chosen Caprera, in which case
of course he has pledged himself to inaction, for the
present at least. The Italian government, through-
out all the circumstances connected with the

wrest of Garibaldi, which was looked upon as a
" political necessity," has shown much firmness
and determination of purpose.

FLORENCE, thirr. 27.

This day's papers and telegrams continue to
bring in fresh reports of riotous movements and
manifestations throughout the country. At Genoa
a second demonstration took place, and above 60

arrests have been made. The population of Pied-
mont, however, has almost unanimously approved
of the measure adopted by government. At Turin
there was a peaceful and dignified demonstra-
tioa,af ter which &deputation was seat to the prefect
asking for Garibaldi's release. The press, with few
exceptions, approves of the arrest. Garibaldi, we
have just learnt, is already at Caprera.
There has been a sudden change in the atmos-
phere from excessive heat to cold, and in some
parts snow. Rain, hail, and the most fearful
thunderstorms, accidents of all sorts, and inunda-
tions, with immense damage to property and life,
have afflicted some parts of Tuscany and other
parts of Italy. Near Venice many terrible disasters
have occurred through a typhoon, which raised
three waterspouts of tremendous force. They
destroyed several houses, and killed a great number
of people.

M•oic AT THE Eoirrnix-HALL.—London is
seldom without • wizard for long, and not • few of these
nimble-fingered professors of illusion have made their tem.
pomry home in the solemn-looking structure in Pima.
dilly, which the late Mr. Albert Smith made so popular a
resort. The last of the race of magicians who has ap-
peared in the metropolis is a young gentleman named
Ruhini, who last night opened the minor room of the
Egyptian-hall for • series of magical seances, and per-
formed, in the presenoe of a full audience, a series of feats
of conjuring, legerdemain, and what he and his companion
professors of the magic art delight tx call "prestidigita-
tion." The entertainment included many tricks that have
frequently been exhibited in public, but Rubini's method
of performing them in some degree differs from that of his
predecessors and rivals. Handkerchiefs and half-crowns.

Playing' cards and gentlemen's hate formed, as usual,
the materials of many of the performances; but
in one or two instances live birds and animals,
doves, canaries, and rabbits were introduced, while
the wizard did not fail, as no wizard worthy
of the name would, to delight his spectators by the produc-
tion, from an empty cloth, of bowls tilled with real water,
and tenanted by real live gold fish. The Indian basket
fret was performed in • manner slightly different, we
fancy, from that adopted by the late Colonel Stodare ;
and the representation concluded with • newly arranged
illusion, called "Is femme dempitee." In this perfor-
mance the magician appeared- to eat off the head of a
young lady and carry it to the back of the stage, where be
unveiled it, and where, at his bidding, it addressed to the
audience several moral and didactic sentences. This is a
driver modification of an old illusion, previously exhibited
in the other room of the same building. Bohai is not
quite perfect in his manner of performing some of his
tricks ; but be appears to be young, and with practice
will no doubt become a very accomplished magician.

Sisotri.32 Cass or Poisomxo.—Yesterday Mr.
Booth, coroner fur North Staffordshire, held an inquest at
Stoke-upon-Trent, touching the death of Mr. Edward
Sneyd, aged 29, a respectable grocer in High-street, in that
town, which took place under these circumstances. The
deceased, • fine young man, on Thureday last, in company
with two friends, visited several publichouses, including
the King's Head, Stoke, where they had some drink, and
at about half-put 6in the evening one of them com-
menced smoking. Sneyd, it appeared, was in the habit of
chewing tobacco, and put late his mouth the greater por-
tion of half an ounoe. He was advised to take it from his
mouth, but refused, and in • few minutes the effect was
to cause him to become insensible. He suddenly fell, and
he appeared to have swallowed a portion of the tobacco.
Three medical gentlemen were sent for as wen as danger
was apprehended but notwithstanding every effort to
nave him, Sneyd died on Sunday morning. Thfesetry re-
turned • verdict in aocordatthe with the above

gathering.
The working classes of London are strong,
numerous, and well organised, but they cannot at
the same time fill a building capable of giving
standing room to 100,000 persons and cover
with human beings lawns and gardens of
upwards of seventy acres in extent. But they
did what was nearly as good, they dotted it over
thickly with groups which anywhere else would be
called crowds, and when towards the twilight they
all converged towards the entrance, they formed
a public meeting of highly political impor-
tance. The festivities with which the day's pro-
reeding& opened were all most numerously at-
Itended. The Beni-zoug-zoug Arabs made • pro-
found impression ; and numberless jokes of more
or less excelle-me were made, as to the similarity
of their wonderful gyrations to the recent
sudden turn-about of Mr. Disraeli and the
tory party. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
was more than once likened to the Arab Samson,
who carried twelve men on his shoulders, and
tumbled and tossed them about according to his
own will and pleasure, or the exigencies of the mo-
ment. From the Arabs the company hurried to
the open air meeting, but this, from some slight
hitch in the arrangements, was delayed for some
time after the hour fixed in the programme. The
lovers of popular oratory hurried in the first
instance to the cricket ground, but unfortunately
it was occupied by a club, and the members re-
fused to break up their game, even for the pur-
poses of a reform meeting. There waa then an ad-
journment to the orangery, en route to which we
were able to see the military games which were
going on with great spirit in the corner of the
grounds generally allotted to the anniversaries of
Ithe German Turnverein. Some sergeants o: the
Guards played bouts at single stick, and organized
races ; and from hence there was an adjournment to
the wooden platform in front of the orangery, where
lit was finally determined to hold the open air meer,-
.
mg. Avery large crowd asaembled here, and were kept
in good humour by the strains of an excellent band,
which at List breaking out into a polka, set the
younger reformers, including a very large number
of the Persons" of Mr. Mill's motion, a dancing.
At last the leaders of the trades unions, preceded
by their banners, were seen approaching, and the
preliminaries of a serious political meeting com-
menced. On one aide of the platform was set up •
transparency representing • number of working
men cheering before a scroll upon which was in-
scribed " The Reform Bill of 1867," and under it
the names, in succession, of "The Lord Mayor of
London, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bight, Mr. Beale.,
Mr. Potter, and Mr. Hughes." This transparency
does not require much criticism as a work of art,
but it was suggestive as indicating that the Reform
Bill had been accepted sea boon by the working
men. Previous to the speaking, one individual,
who announced himself to be the celebrated " Star
Diver," went round amongst the persons as-
sembled, and complained that having offered to sig-
nalize the reform fete by one of his tremendous
"headers," he had been obstructed by the manage-
ment of the Crystal Palace. His proposal
was, we understood, to dive from one of
the water-towers down to the tank underneath,
but Mr. Bowley, who was not as willing as
Lod Derby to sanction " • leap in the dark,"
declined on the ground that the proposed daring
experiment might terminate in a serious accident.
There were a few officers and men on the platform
in the well-known Garibaldian uniform, but they
did not appear to attract any particular notice from
the working men.
The proceedings were very temperately opened
by Mr. Upahall, a working man, who explained to
the meeting that they had assembled there to cele-
brate, not the triumph of whig or tory, but the
passing of the Reform Act of 1867, which the
working men were willing to accept as not only a
concession itself, but as the forerunner of. future
Iconcessions. At the commencement of the see-
iion the whiould not psis it, but the
Itories had subsequently passed it with the aid
of the whigs, and e working men must take it for
as much as it was worth. The lodger franchise
I was undoubtedly a step in the right direction.
IMr. Disraeli had called it his own baby, and Mr.
Gladstone had adopted it at the suggestion of the
Working Men's Association. By it about 600,000
out of six millions of working men would be en-
' franchised, and they would show by their mode of
using the fraachise how little they deserved the
slanders of such men as Lowe, Horsman, and
Company. (The names of these distinguished
senators were reoeivedjwith unmistakeable tokens
of disapprobation.) Mr. Upshall went on to state
that in his judgment the work of reform was only
beginning. They had England and Wales to re-
arrange, and they had to satisfy Ireland. (Cheers.)
He did not understand what Fenianism meant, but
he believed that if the Irish people were permitted
to send men who truly represented them to parlia-
ment, there would soon be an end of Fenianism. Ho
was sorry that they were not favoured with
the company of Messrs. Bright and Gladstone ;
but possibly men of their age might take
cold in the open air, but there would be,
plenty of work for such men, and for Marrs. Faw-
cett, Ayrton, and Torrens in the House of Com-
mons. The government had already profited by
the advice of their opponents, and they would no
doubt do so again in the ensuing session. He be-
lieved that the time was not far distant when the
working men of England would, by combined and
temperate action, get rid of all their disabilities.
Mr. Upshall, in concluding his observations, in-
troduced Mr. Price, from Manchester, who ener-
getically expressed his belief that the working men
wear deceiving themselves in accepting the Reform
Act of 1867 as a boon. It was alleged to give
household suffrage, hut it disfranchised 94,000
compounders and 572,000 who could not comply
with its conditions of occupancy. The Reform
Act pretended to give the franchise to lodgers pay-
ing 101. annual rent, but as a matter of fact it re-
quired payment to the extent of 131. a year. For
the disqualifying portions of the Reform Act they
might thank Lord Cairns, who was the organ of the ac-
cursed Orangemen of Ireland,the men who hadreally
created Femaniam in that country. Lords Derby
and Cairns were the leaders of that party which
sent 15,000 Englishmen to gaol for shooting at the
birds of the air, and 10,441 men, women, and
children for breach of contract with their employers;
but who was to punish Lords Derby and Cairns
and their party for their breaches of contract with
the English people 1 Who was to call them to ac-
count for the 70 millions they had spent since 1860,

of the popular power of the great boroughs by the vote at
the end of the session will show you how little parliament is

TIM MURDEROUS ASSAULT IN BLOOMSBURT.

At Bow-street yesterday, after our report left,
the chugs upon which the prisoner Groves had been ap-
prehended—that of assaulting a man named Buser, was
proceeded with.
:oho King, a bricklayer's labourer, of Crown-court,
rulteneyidreet, said that on Sunday morning he saw the
prisoner and six or seven other people in the reed at the
top of Endell-street and corner of Broad-street. A van
loaded with three vets was passing, and in it were two
men besides the driver ; one was sitting with has feet
banging over the side of the van. The man in the van
hallooed six or seven times to those in the road to get out
of the way. When the van passed on, one of the men
called out to his oinipanions, •• Did you see what that fel-
low did? He kicked me on the band." The man in the
van said he did not do it. Some of the prisoner's compa-
nions jumped into the van, and one of them took the whip
from the driver and beat him and the other van man with
it. The prisoner was in thevan. A tall man who was with
the prisoner banded him (prisoner) a cane, which he flou-
rished about; and, from the way it " swung," witness
considered it was loaded. The tall man knocked wit-
ness down. Witness got up again, and the prisoner was
going to strike him with the cane, when a man named
Bluer called out, " It is a shame to treat him so." The tall
man knocked witness down again. The tall man streak
Buser with his Rata, and the prisoner struck him twice on
the head with the loaded cane ; and when Boxer ran away
the tall man ran atter him and beat him again with his
Rats. _ _

Samuel Buser, who said he wee a bedstead-maker, living
in Crown-street, corroborated this statement, and said that
be pre the prisoner into custody of the police-constable.

The. others ran away.
Stephen Look, 143 B, said he Genie tip at the glum and
found complainant smothered in blood. He said the pri-
soner had cut his head with a loaded cane. The prisoner
denied it. On the way to the station the prisoner mid,
" It is a serious matter far me ; I have a good situation in
London, and I shall lose it if I am locked up."
The prisoner said it was all untrue. He was not at all
in fault. He denied getting into the cart or touching the
whip. Buser was fighting with some other men, and mad*
a rush at him (prisoner), and then, he added, " I let him
have it twice." He did not say he had • situation in Lon-
don. He said a „good position."
Baser—l was not fighting.
Prisoner—Ton were very busy fighting.
Lock said he was quite certain the words used by the
prisoner were as be had stated.
The prisoner was remanded on this charge also.
The examination at Bow-street yesterday created the
greatest excitement amongst the Irish population of the
whole district. They rallied in great force around the
Court-house, and on the conclusion of the proceedings
the crowd inereesed to a dense mob. At shout half-pest 4
o'clock, the hour when the prison van had arrived to
convey the prisoners Groves and Cunninghame to the
House of Detention, • body of about 60 Irish-Americana
had posted themselves near the entrance to the
station. These persons were most of them young mittrym..
looking men, and were recognised by several peoplelpraµpt
as the frequenters of certain public-houses in
which are suspected of entertaining visitors of decidedly
Fenian proclivities. As the prisoners were placed in the
van load obeers greeted them from this smell but compact
body, and it required great resistance on the part of the
police constables who were on duty and who mustered
nearly 50 strong, to prevent their closing round the van.
That vehicle was preceded by six mounted patrols, sod was
occupied by six police offmersand followed by three cabs eon-
taining three constables in each. As the tort6ge started •
great deal of sympathy for the " poor young men," the
prisoners, was expressed on all sides. The attitude of the
polioe prevented anything like a disturbance.

Or-0,11100 of the 'bronchi convention entered into with

BOROUGH. OF THE TOWER HAMLETS.—MajOT-
Gon. Bainbrigge and Mr. Namara .7. Senior, two of the
assistant bcrandary commissioners, attended yesterday at
the Courthense, Wellelose-equare. for the purpose of in-
quiring into the boundaries of the borough of the Tower
Hamlets. Hitherto the borough has included several im-
mense parishes in the east of London, together with
several of gaudier dimensions in the northern suburbs.
Under the new Reform Act, the whole of Spitaltelde,
Bethnal-green, Hackney, and some adjacent parishes era
to be severed frets it ; and these formed no pert of the
isommirioners' inquiry yesterday morning. The proceedings
were of little interest, as the borough of the Tower Ham-•
lets, as now constituted, is bounded by the Thames on the
south, the new borough on the nertb, the county of rawer
on the east, and the city of Loudon on the west, en that
it could not very well be extended in any direction.
