LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 10.

YINOTWAY morning, about the hour when the
enlightened tagragocracy of the commercial metro-
polis of the world were gathering together to assist
at the barbarous mysteries of (log and Magog ;
when turtle-minded civic dignitaries were sitting,
pompous and stuffy, a spectacle to gods and men,
in awful pride and circumstance of equipage and
costume ; when Aldermen and Common Coun-
cillors were courting the east wind for an appetite,
and trying to look as if they had invented London
—at that very hour a very different scene was '
being enacted in Southern Italy ; a scene startling
enough to the modern mind of men of business,
and to the positive wisdom of this age
of gold. A victorious soldier, a powerful
ruler, a sovereign in all but the name, was
offering up the rich guerdon of his heroic self-
devotion on the altar of an emancipated country,
and departing amidst tears and blessings, poor as
he came--a conqueror, a deliverer, • Dictator, a
plain man, without honour, or reward, or favour
of earthly sort—back to the lonely island and the
humble farm. Lord of the hearts of a liberated
nation, master of an island kingdom, and of the
famed province of the garden of Europe, GAILI-
SAI til, at the summit of power and in the fulness
of triumph, salutes the King of ITALY, and into
his chosen Sovereign's bands commits the solemn
true of the national independence which his own
right arm has achieved. History, in its most
k-gelidary epochs, has few pages like this ; and we,
the latest heirs of tiros, can ill afford to let an
example that red...ems the bemuses of a century die
out in a day like a Lord Mayor's fooling.
We can well imagine that the stern simplicity
of this great, good man's farewell will seem fantastic
in the lofty regions of diplomacy and finance, and
will somewhat disconcert the fastidious proprieties
of courtly circles. These antique heroes are well
enough on the stage, or as themes for schoolboy
declamation. Self-sacrifice is • touching effect in •
drains ; it sounds well in • sermon ; it is one
of those moral dainties which serve to titillate
the exhausted sentiment of good society ; and
it is all the more pungent that it is
absurdly uareaL It is a picture, a poem ;
an operatic *mei, • luxury of the senses and the
imagination: but in the waking world of actual
men and women---/i deist !—seU-sacrifice is an
anachronism, a fable, a romance of vulgar and
empty radical conceit. What is to become of
" I inter," and of all the virtues which are fostered
by the monarchical principle, and spring up
with rank parasitical abundance in the atmo-
sphere of Courts, if the world is to witness such a
spectacle as this of a man bestowing kingdoms, yet
content to owes his country without reward ; a
man faithful to his ward, destitute of personal
ambition, flying from wealth and worldly distinctions,
and as eager to escape the caresses of fortune, and
the tickle enthusiasm of shouting cities, as the
vulgar great are in their pursuit I
Happily for the thrones and aristocracies which
the world still worships, • Wasturnietor and a
AKIIIALLit are exceptional figures, and their ex-
ample is not catching. A seined conspirator
who has confiscated the liberties of a nation in a
night, and who steeps • people in oorrnption for the
security of • despot's throne ; • monarch more or
less legitimate, who buys allegiance with bayonets,
and whose courtiers dance over dungeons in
which intellect, and conscience, and daunt/ems pa-
triotism are wasting to death—these are the
heroes of the high world's admiring sympathy and
respect. If calamity overtakes them, what •
shock to society ! If they disappear, what a
vacuum they leave behind !
From the moment when, with a handful of
devoted followers, the liberator of Italy stepped
ashore at Marsala, to the moment when he ex-
changed • simple sailor's farewell with Admiral
Meow at Naples, the glory of Gail BALDee enter-
prise has never suffered• moment's eclipse. Bravest
of the brave, gentlest of the gentle, simplest of the
simple-hearted, truest of the true, from first to last !
Never sparing his own precious life, never shed-
ding a drop even of an enemy's blood without
pity, incapable of dissembling, impatient only
of dissemblers, he leaves to the Neapolitan
people, degraded by long servitude, an ideal
of all Christian and heroic virtues ; of courage,
temperance, patience, self-denial, simplicity, kind-
ness, fidelity. May Italy look through the dangers
and darkness of the future to that lonely isle
('sprees as the stortutossed seaman looks to the
light burning over the waters. When Italy is in
periL ILIKIIIALIOI will be ill her midst again ; it is
only in the hour of her triumph that ho is seen no
inure.

Tim still =penetrated Road mystery bids fair
to illustrate in succession every deficiency in our
existing system for the detection of crime. Round
the great central fact of a murder, committed under
circumstance* apparently the niost conducive to
disco% ery, yet remaining enveloped in absolute
darkness, group tbenmelves failures in every
species awl form of investigation which our laws
recognise. An inquest has been held. and has
proved abortive ; two different persons have been
brought before the magistrates, and have been ills-

his person, to all present appearance, it seems
probable that the amateur zeal of an
unpaid and irresponsible magistracy, even though
aided by the accident of such legal training as may
be involved in the profession of "conveyances,"
will suffer an equally conspicuous discomfiture.
Yet of this Fenspect we desire to be understood to
speak but hypothetically. A gentleman who bears
"lacked in his bosom " a secret which is of the
highest importance, but which he is resolved never
to divulge till the proper time arrives • and who
" carries in his pocket a document which, if he
" were to affix his signature to it, world change
" the whole character of the investigation," is
entitled to some credit on the contents of his
bosom and his pocket. But, in the meantime, we
can only regret that the forms of English justice
prevent a judge from filling at once the bench and
the witness-box, and debar a magistrate who has
so minutely acquainted himself with the whole
gossip of the neighbourhood from informing us in
his own person what every old woman for ten
miles round has said on the subject.
Yet it were unfair to regard Mr. SAUNDIIIB AS
merely an individual instance of eccentricity.
The great benefit of the " investigation" which be
is conducting is, that it exhibits to us precisely
the ways and works of the typical policeman.
Magnified in scale, and carried on under the
strong light of publicity, the proceedings of Mr.
SACNDLID4 are exactly those of the regular detec-
tive. This wandering, with aimless sagacity,
round and round the scene of the crime, this tedi-
ously minute inquiry into utterly irrelevant facto,
this listening with pricked up ears to every idle
word of tenth-hand gossip, this pompons ostenta-
tion of secret information which never comes to
anything, are old familiar features to all who have
had occasion to watch the conduct of a police
inquiry. In the common administration of
our criminal law these peculiarities do
not, indeed, come before the public eye.
The rule which prohibits hearsay evidence
compels a policeman when in the box to mask his
researches under the expression, " from informs-
" tion I received." Nor, when his information
has enabled him, in a simple case, to lay his hand
on the shoulder of the real criminal, is there cow
sion for us to consider the efficacy of his method.
But if, when a more recondite crime calls for
detection, we find that the men and the methods
are alike unequal to the occasion, we have cause to
be grateful to any one who will, as Mr. SM.' NDIUU
is doing, show us exactly the process upon which
we ordinarily rely for our security. For let it
be remembered that it is on the police we wholly
depend for the discovery of crime. The magis-
trate's function only commences where that of the
police officer ends. Here and there an unusually
active justice of the peace may personally direct
the researches into a crime, as Mr. Smesuraa is
now doing ; but, as a general rule, the whole in-
quiry rests with the lowest branch of our civil ad-

ministration. What wonderthat in such hands crime
keeps a-head of detection? What wonder that facts
are misstated, or altogether omitted, when the ques-
tion of their value is left for weeks in the hands of
an inspector, who was originally admitted to the
force because of his development of biceps, and
who was promoted from the ranks because of his
steadiness and long service ? What wonder that
unusual forms of crime baffle routine forms of in-
vestigation, and that criminals who are able to
exercise a little forethought easily succeed in mis-
leading detectives, whose ideas do not rise beyond
• search for a missing nightdress or the suggestion
of a confused demeanour. A great analyst of
human nature has indeed remarked that crimes
attended by the most unusual circumstances are
those which are in truth most easy of detection.
But this is on the supposition that the inquiry is
confided to men capable of appreciating the
subtler and stranger moods of the human mind.
To the ordinary policeman the unusual is simply
the incomprehensible. The coarsest of motives
and the rudest of means are all that occur as
possible to his imagination. The unhappy part of
our system is that it leaves the collection of infor-
mation 011 which everything depends to those who
neglect the most important portion simply because
they cannot see its significance.

Under these circumstances it is at least satis-
factory to learn that in the Road case there is
some prospect of the inquest being re-opened.
Here at least there is hope that among the jury-
men, the counsel, and the coroner, some one may
he found capable of directing the investigation
into the proper channels. It is, indeed, as yet un-
certain whether the Court of Queen's Bench will
entertain a proposition for which it is said only
two precedents can be found. We may venture
to think that when a dozen gentlemen to whom
the constitution has confided an important duty

inadvertently leave it incomplete, there should
need little precedent to authorise them to resume
and finish it. But if the Court of Queen's
Bench be of opinion that this course is
inadmissible, unless the Judges in HINLY
THE EIGHTH'II OT GEORGE THE THIRD'S time
thought it admissible, we must be content to hope
that the case occurred to some of these judges,
and that they wore leas scrupulous than ours are.
But even if the inquest should in this case be per-
mitted to be resumed, it will be well for us to re-
collect that an inquest is possible only because the
subject of it is death. In no other case would an
inquiry before a jury into the circumstances of a
crime be possible until the supposed criminal were
apprehended and indicted. In every other species
of offence detection depends on the irresponsible
acuteness of a policeman only. It is for the pub-
lic to consider whether such a system is not at
once the rudest, the most inefficient, and the most
tyrannical which could readily be devised. It can
form no part of our constitutional liberty that we
should yield to the direction of a common police-
man functions which in every country save our
own are exercised under the watchful guidance of
the soundest lawyers and clearest heads which the
state can find for the service.

The Debats of to-day contains the following tele-
gram from Rome, relating to the flight of a
large body of the Neapolitan troops into the Papal
States, which fact was exclusively announced in
the Daily News of Thursday :

" ROME, Nov. 8, 2.15 rm.
"Twenty thousand Neapolitan troops, with 4,500
horses and 36 guns, have entered the Pontifical
States. Cardinal Antonelli protested against this
violation of the frontiers, and ordered the imme-
diate disarming of the troops. Accordingly this was
done at Velletri, under the direction of the French
commandant. The disarmed soldiers have been
distributed amongst the differcnt provinces, and I
conducted to their destination by French officers,
at the expense of the Pontifical government.
"M. Lamoriciere has left on leave of ten
months."

The following from the theatre of war is given as
" Latest News" by the Petrie :
"Despatches from Naples state that on Nov. 4
and 6 Sardinian transports landed troops and ar-
tillery at Mole di Gaet► At these dates the head-
quarters of the Piedmontedie army had been re-
moved to Lissy, a small village about three kilo-
metres to the left of Trajetto. In the afternoon of
the ltth, a Sardinian frigate advanced within gun-
shot of the great circular fort on the south outside
the port of Gaeta. This frigate, which was merely
sent on a reconnoissance, did not fire ; she ascer-
tained that the fort was in a good state, and well
armed. The Neapolitan. were constructing re-
doubts and other fortifications to bar the stratege-
tical road on the sea coast, and prevent the Pied-
mo ntese from marching forwards from Mola. In-
dependently of the troops charged to defend the
position of Trajetto, the Neapolitans had two corps
d'sroset outside of Gaeta, one at Fondi, and the
other at Itri. Notwithstanding these movements
it was thought that nothing would be decided with
regard to the continuance of operations until Vic-
tor Emmanuel's return from Naples."

Garibaldi took leave of his Majesty to-day and
afterwards left for the island of Caprern, over-

"On the entry of the King into Naples Gari-
baldi sat at his side in the carriage.
" To-day, at 11 am., Garibaldi, accompanied by
the ministry, formally presented to the King the
result of the plibiscite. His Majesty received them
in the Throne-room. The Minister Signor Conforti
addressed the King thus :—' Sire,—The Neapolitan
people, asembled in their electoral comitio, have
proclaimed you King by an immense majority.
Nine millions of Italians are uniting themselves to

IFILMF
,RESS FROM PARIS.
(TROY OUR OWN CORRIRPONDRWL)
PARIS, FRIDAY EYNON°.

Although some telegrams still speak of a
duipsrate resistance as being resolved on at Gaeta,
the impression is strong to-day that Francis IL
will take to flight before many hours are over, and
leave a general behind him to settle the terms of
the capitulation. The French government, it is
said, now strongly advisee him to go away. Never-
theless, it is doubted whether he will accept the
proffered hospitality of a French ship. The non-
recognition of the blockade gives him plenty of
choice, and there are Rimier', Austrian, and
Spanish vessels in the port of Gaeta. The astonish-
ing intelligence telegraphed yesterday from the
Daily Netts, that a large Neapolitan army
had been disarmed in the Roman States, is
now confirmed by a telegram from Rome,
which gives the number as 20,000 instead of
15,000, and adds the fact that it was Cardinal An-
tonelli who "protested" against their violation of
the Roman frontier. People are puzzled to account
for this incident, for it might have been supposed
that the Papal government would look with all
favour upon the army of Francis 11. What is the
meaning of " distributing " the disarmed troops
among the Roman provinces under the care of
French officers ? Are they to be a reserve when
called upon, their arms being kept in the mean-
time ?
The French Minister at War has ordered all
soldiers forming part of the depots, regiments, and
battalions stationed in Rome to go out forthwith,
and the Lyons Railway is daily crowded with de-
tachments en route. General de Goyon has asked,
for an additional regiment of cavalry.
Both the evening government journals deny the
truth of the statement that Russian officers and
soldiers tcok part in the construction of the Chinese
forte lately taken by the French and English troops.
The Pays, giving extraordinary emphasis to its con-
tradiction, says :-Ist. That the story takes its
rise in most unjust prejudice ; 2nd. That the well-
known fairness of the Russian government renders
it improbable ; and 3rd. That the Pays, from private
information, known it to be untrue.
The Prelim says, of the proposed liberal measures
in Venetia :
A liberal oonatitution for Venice, under the Austrian
riyinu, or even under Austrian patronage, has at all times
appeared to us a difficult problem. But it seems to be •
pure and simple impossibility. In this point of view, with-
out denying the good intentions of Austria, we think there
is reason to regret the project, because it betrays • desire to
retain • province which in all human probability must
escape from her hands, and therefore shows that she does
not understand the exigencies of the situation.
The Bourse maintains its finances. The Route
closed at 70fr. for cash, and 70fr. 15c. for account,
with a rise in each case of be. Mobilier rose
7fr. 60c. The Eastern Railway rose 3fr. 75c. ;
Northern fell sfr., but the other lines were a trifle
higher.

ITALY.

(FIOX •

GENOA, Nov. 5.

In view of the perils which the development of Italy
saunot but bring the mobilization of the National
Guard has been one of the wisest stops which could
have beau taken. It renders must valuable assist-
ance to the government, by relieving tho regular
troupe of garrison duty, inures the nation at large
to military habits, and by making the populations
of the newly cemented states acquainted with each
other, contributes to the fusion of interests and
sympathies among this long divided people. Tus-
cans garrison Milan ; Turin sends her battalions to
Florence ; and Genoa now rejoices in the presence
of the National Guard of Como and Lodi in Lom-
bardy. About ten thousand of these civilians,
most of them gentlemen, the rest artisans and shop-
keepers, are thus mobilized ; and for several weeks
together are set to full soldier's duty, mount guard
in the forts and batteries, and sleep at night
iu barracks. Hard as this life is, and unfitted
as are the majority by their previous education to
encounter it, I have heard of no backalidings. The
Lombards attracted general admiration when they
came iu here a few days ago by their soldier-like
bearing and the precision of their movements.
They had marched thirty miles in two days, and
through some strange neglect in the commissariat
department had been twenty-tour hours with-
out food ; but no grumblinga were heard.
Never was advice more acted upon than
Louis Napoleon's celebrated exhortation to the
Italiaus : Be soldiers to-day that you may be free
citizens of a great state to-morrow.' Whether be is
quite satisfied at seeing it so literally fulfilled they
do not trouble themselves to inquire. As event
upon event cousolidates the Italian kingdom, Turin
is losing her reverence for the oracles of the Tuile-
ries. The Oeinione, a ministerial organ, contains
to-day a spirited refutation of the statement which
had gone abroad that the King's entry into Naples
had been postponed in deference to foreign counsels.
The delay was solely owing to Victor Emmanuel's
own determination not to set foot in the capital
of Southern Italy until the Bourbon standard had
ceased to float ou an inch of the territory which hailed
him as its deliverer. In the samearticle an equally
decided tone is held in reference to the French
admiral's reported interference for the protection'of
Gaeta. " If circumstances should necessitate an
attack on the part of our naval forces, the foreign
fleet which opposed it would be guilty of an act of
interference which not even the rights acquired by
France to the gratitude of Italy could justify."
From trustworthy accounts It is positive that
the King's reception as he proceeded along the
Neapolitan provinces was enthusiastic in the ex-
treme. But it was not alone the voice of joy and
exultation which greeted the soldier-king through-
out his progress. As he rode into hernia, smoking
nuns, a population still terror-stricken from
the entrees committed by the Bourbon troops
flying before Cialdiui met his gaze, and he was
surrounded by crowds who clamoured for revenge,
One poor wretch, in the dress of a shepherd.
whose dwelling had been burnt down, his only
brother killed, and his children driven as prisoners
into Capua, forced his way up to the Kings saddle
bow, and brandishing a poniard with frantic ges-
tures, exclaimed, "With this I had sworn to kill
Francis If., but when I heard the Italian
King was coming I determined to give it
up to him, that he might do me justice."
One of the otliisini of the King's staff took the
dagger from the man's hands to appease him ; and
the cortir passed on. But this, incident, in which
many would see only the subject for an effective
picture, is deeply suggestive, as the impersonation,
so to speak, of the Italian revolution, and the part
borne ni it by Sardinia. The dagger was a symbol
of the anarchy and bloodshed a long series of mis-
government had prepared for Italy, the fierce out-
break of which has only been averted by the
timely interposition of Victor Emmanuel, whose
name is a guarantee for liberty and right.
Of local news we have little. Count Cavour was
here on Saturday, in his capacity of Minister of
Marine, to witness the launch of the Duke of Genoa,
a large screw steam-frigate. He throws as much
earnestness and ability into this as into any other
branch of his multifarious duties. French con-
tractors have told me that his acquaintance with
the technicalities of naval architecture and the
recent inventions or experiments connected there-
with is something marvellous. He escorted the
young princes Humbert and Amodio on this occasion.
They are fine spirited, courteous lads, carefully
educated. :Jai though as yet kept entirely aloof from
public life are thoroughly imbued with military

ardour, and pant to emulate their father's courage
in the field. Humbert, the heir-apparent, is now
sixteen. I was told this summer by one of his house-
hold that he was quite carried away by enthusiasm
for Garibaldi, and professed he desired nothing
more than to wear a red shirt, shoulder a musket,
and follow him through the campaign.
We have been some time happily rid of the Irish
prisoners ; and the remaining captives, concerning
whose unjustifiable spoliation such complaints have
gone forth to the world, begin to be more tractable.
.8:o universally were those accusations credited, that
a Belgian correspondent of —, one of the first
banking-houses here, writing to request that a small
sum of money should be paid to one of the prisoners,
particularly enjoined that it should be transmitted
to him with all secrecy, as it was well known that
their personal property was not respected. The
sole foundation for this belief was the simple fact,
that a lot of the ruffians who fought under
Lamoricffiv were made to disgorge their ill-gotten
booty, wrung, without a doubt, from the towns
and villages they had pillaged on their march to
Ancona. One party of these worthies was searched
by a detachment of mobilized national guards, the
commanding officer of which is well known to me ;
and I have it on his personal assurance that large
quantities of watches and other valuables were
found upon them. There was one man in particu-
lar who attracted immediate attention from the
enormous size of his boots, and was discovered to
owe that peculiarity to the numerous layers of gold
and silver, beaten out into thin plates, with which
they were lined.
As these men had not been through an enemy's
country these were clearly not spoils of war,
but gave an ug confirmation to the complaints
made by the Popes subjects of the pillage aud law-
lessness which the presence of his mercenary troops
invariably brought upon them.
