VENICE, Nov. 13.
The illumination of the Piazza San Marco on
Sunday night was certainly very brilliant. Not
only was a huge lion portrayed in yellow lamps
upon the front of the Basilica, and a column of
light carried almost as high as the top of the great
belfry by innumerable sparkling points at ita every
corner, but the royal initials "V. E." blazed forth
in red and white and green round three aides of the
pima= alternately with the cross of Savoy. Then,

-too, the lamp-poste in the open space were sua.
mounted by feathery chandeliers, and the lower
portions of the Basilica were picked out with lines
of fire round each graceful archway. How easy it
would have been to read, had any one thought of
bringing a book with him ! How easy it was to

nine, and which stood on tiptoe to catch another
glimpse of "Vittorio" whenever his Majesty showed
himself at the .palace windows. 3lhere was despe-
rate struSlODg nosier tie arcade at the wester's,
portireo","where a passage was kept open for the
exit of those who bad gazed their fill upon the
giant "transformation scene," and who had ob-
tained glimpses enough of " Vittorio." Yet I saw
little sign of anger or violenoe even amongst the
people most luckleasly sent to the wall, whilst such
as maintained a good position were in excellent
spirits, despite the treading of other equally cheer-
ful persona upon their toes. It was no time for
quarrels or. for bad blood between neighbours,
though they pushed might and main to get to the
front. Had not the weeniest children, with tiny
faces buried half asleep upon their parents' shoul-
ders, been brought to the Piazza San Marco, that
they might remember the night when the Italian
King showed himself to his people of Venice I
After the regatta on the Grand Canal had given
natives and strangers alike an unexampled speci-
men of a carnival afloat, there was still something
to be done. The King had been followed from the
Foscari palace to his palace at St. Mark's by a fleet
of gondolas, of gilded barges, of costermongers'
boats, and fishing boats, such as no other city in
the world could produce, nay, such as Venice her-
self can scarcely have seen in bygone years. But
all this glittering spectacle—this true carnival of
oddity and contrast, with modern tourists raising
their eye-glasses to survey medieval oarsmen—was
to be outshone by a torchlight procession. The
Venetian rejoicings were fittingly to end on the
water, and there was to be a display of no ordinary
kind. When the procession came it resembled some
I work of enchantment, rather than anything which we
associate with "torchlight." I reject the word alto-
gether, and will speak of what I saw as a " feast of
lanterns." There were gondolas with three or four
I pretty paper lanterns, gondolas with twenty, and
gilded barges with coloured lights of every size in
I glass and paper, There were the illuminations on
shore--gas jets, lanterns, and transparencies. But
most beautiful of all was the reflection from the
water—the many reflections broken by plashing
oars and hidden by the hulls of passing boats, to
shine out again and again until there seemed ten
times as many lanterns in the water as were carried
swiftly upon its surface. Last night the weather
was fine, though hazy overhead, a haziness
which made the effect of the procession still
better. On the bridge of the Rialto there
was a glow of light as if twenty bonfires had been
flaming beneath it. There was a crowd of boats
near the bridge, and a crowd of citizens on shore.
The cheers for Victor Emmanuel were loud and in-
cessant, mingled with cheers for United Italy, and
as I departed to the unsteady atrokes of gondoliers
who had drunk his Majesty's health, a brass band
struck up Garibaldi's Hymn amid a storm of
applause.
To-day there is tho bustle of leave-taking and
the expiration of excursion tickets. Gondolas full
of luggage follow each other to the railway stations
as fast as they can be hired. The strangers who
have come for the faes are hurrying away, and
Venice will be left to enjoy her newly-acquired
liberty, to read her free press, to flourish as a free
port, and to hoist from time to time as many tri-
colours as shall seem good to her loyal inhabitants.
It is said that the works at the arsenal will afford
employment to a swarm of artisans, and that the
city will become a station of the first-class for the
Italian navy. Nor will politics be forgotten amid
preparations for war and for commerce. The Vene-
tians are turning their thoughts to the election of
members of parliament. They wish for able and
sound-hearted Italians to represent them. But the
national question is so recent that there has nut
been time for party questions to arise ; and long
may it be before class jealousies weaken that love
of the fatherland which foreign oppression has only
served to strengthen.

The Florence .2Vazioue publishes a letter from the
nib-prefect of Nicastro, thanking the bishop of that city for
voluntarily celebrating a Te Deum in the cathedral on ac-
count of the union of Venetia with the Italian kingdom, and
the reply of the bishop. In the latter communication the
writer says :—" Convinced that religion is not opposed to
liberty, nor liberty in contradiction with religion, nay
convinced that liberty is more beautiful when it has
religion for its friend, and that religion is more useful
when liberty favours, I have not hesitated to show
my sympathy with the free institutions and
the reconstruction of Italy, one and independent;
and from love of this independence rather than
desire for liberty, the first yes that dropped into the
urn of the plebiscitam on the 21st of October, 1866, was
deposited by my hand. Alter that memorable day every
means that were in my power and that because my position
I moat willingly exerted in favour of the common country.
