has to obtain the sanction of the PRZNIDZICT and
other civilians, who must be convinced of their
propriety, before they can be carried into muni-
tion. General Bracitromiu has to defend his
military opinions before a tribunal which
thoroughly appreciates their professional merit—
whilst the press in the North is free to express the
' most outspoken criticism of the military measures

adopted, and the free press in the South can scarcely
be said to have any existence. Whilst the army
in the North is composed of men hitherto unac-
customed to military service and unaccustomed to
obey, and its officers are men equally unaccustomed

to command, the army in the South is not
only officered by men of experience, but
the men are conscious of the danger which they
must incur if defeated, and are thoroughly per-
suaded that their only chance of success is to place
implicit confidence in the Secession leaders. Let
it not be thought that in drawing out these point.
of contrast any attempt is meant to exalt the South
at the expense of the North ; but the object is to
point out the means which the South has taken to
repair the natural weakness of its position, and the
necessity under which the North labours to take
means to counteract the surrounding dangers.
' If the experience of the last few weeks is to be of
any value, it is clear that three great changes must
be made in the military administration at Wash-
ington. In the first place, the Commander-in-Chief
must be left to conduct the war in his own way.
In the second place, the officers of the regular
army, instead of being employed as they now are
in all sorts of routine duty, must be placed in
command of troops in the field. In the third
place, the people of the North must have patience
until the new raised levies have learned their drill,
have acquired some sort of discipline, and have
acquired that confidence in their officers without
which no army can possibly achieve success.

FUNERAL Or THE LATE LORD lIHRIKRT.—The
remains of the late Lord Herbert of Lea were yes-
terday deposited in the family vault, beneath the chancel
of the beautiful Romanesque church at Wilton, which
owes its existence to the munificence of the late peer
in 1545. In accordance with a wish expressed by his lord-
ship a short time before his death, the funeral was con-
ducted as privately as possible, and the whole of the ar-
rangements were destitute of ostentation or show. Not-
withstanding this, a considerable crowd anembled neer the
church some time before the hour appointed for the mourD-
fol
ceremony ; sod considering the high regard in
which his lordship was held in the district, it
is not surrinsiog that an almost indescribable
gloom appeared to pervade the whole town. All the shops
were shut, and at Salisbury most of the tradesmen testified
their respect for his lordship's memory by partially closing
their establishment., whilst the bell of the cathedral was
tolled for some time in the course of the day. The funeral
coeto'ge left Wlltomhouse about half-past twelve, the body
being borne by bearers in relays of eight each. The follow-
ing, among other friends of the deceased, took part in the
mournful ceremony:- The Bishop of Salisbury, the Hon. sad
Rev. C. Hartle, Dub of Newcastle, Sir James Graham,
Lord de Grey, Lord Clyde, Lord Heyteabury, and Mr.
Gladstone.

A lamentable affair (nays Galignan i) occurred three
days ago in Switzerland. As the Baryons d'Herliocourt,
aged 23, stater of 31. de Yampa', Senator, and Prefect of
Marseilles, was with her husband proceeding over the
Oeveimi, one of the highest mountains in the Oberland, the
male soddenly fell, when at the brink of a precipice from
WO to 2.50 yards deep, and the unfortunate lady was
healed into the frightful abyss. In falling she missal use

of the precipice, they found her Abated lititally to pietea

awful specta.•le, that he almost lost his reason, and would

free and indepodest, the prolonged delay of the French
in Rome can only give occasion to quarrels and struggles
' between two nation., which, for the good of all and by
their recent fraternity on the field of battle, ought to
exist in a relationship of mutual love and resrip-
rocal support ; because the continuance of the oc-
cupation of Rome is a formal denial of promises mode and
recent declarations on the part of France ; because there
exist. no motive for this occupation—no motive of the
defence of religion which nobody dreams of attacking, and
which the support of foreign bayonets tarnishes and die-
honour.—none for the protection of the Pope's person, which
nobody threatens, and which Italy is ready to protect
because • prolonged occupation for twelve years without
any reasonable motive. is equivalent to • conquest of ter-
ritory which neither Italy nor Europe can allow ; because
the continuance of the French troop in Rome is •
formal violation of the principle of non-intervention pro-
claimed by England and France herself, because Italy
belonged to the Italians, and not to stringers, whoever they
may be. The undersigned address this protest to France,
which fought a short time since for the independence of Italy
from the Alps to the sea; to England, which first proclaimed
the principle of non-intervention ; to all Europe, which has
hailed with marked interest the return of Italy to a col-
lective national life—a life to which the indefinite and ar-
bitrary occupation of Rome would be a formidable menace
and danger.
