immense crowds which turned out to welcome,
with an enthusiasm hardly possible to be surpassed,
the Monarch whom GARIBALDI enabled them to
choose. The receptions of GARIBALDI himself have
hardly been more unanimous, cordial, and joyful.
We remember nothing approaching to it, except
that first burst of overwhelming joy with which
the Milanese welcomed the two Monarchs after the
Austrians had evacuated their city; and when the
uncontrollable emotions of the liberated Italians
deprived, it was said, even Louis NAPOLEON
himself for the moment of his self-con-
trol. VICTOR EMMANUEL is, also, a man
of iron nerves, but he was too much of a man
to witness unmoved the hearty, kindly, hopeful,
confiding, exulting acts and utterances of the thou-
' sands who, in their southern capital, greeted their
new and their trustworthy monarch.
For a week or a fortnight previously the event had
been anxiously looked for, and when the day came,
and royal weather with it, the whole population
seemed to turn out, not merely to see, but to shower
their bouquets or to shout their
monarch of their rho!Ze. 7elcome to the
Many parts of the city
were attually abandoned, all crowding to the points
at which they could do honour to the KING.
" Housetops were filled with several hundred thou-
sand persons, as if Naples had been turned inside
out." The bay was crowded with boats hovering
around the Royal barge, and on the KING'S land
anew no bounds. Long live King
VICTOR
. x,IIMANUEL—King, honest man !—King of
United Italy—resounds from tens of thousands of
voices ; those most important of all politicians on
such occasions—the ladies—doing their part most
fully ; a plain proof that even Italian priests and
confessors dare not attempt to instil their re-
actionary sentiments into female ears in Italy.
Indeed, the *ecular clergy are to a large extent loyal
to the people's cause ; it is their superiors, the
bishops, and upwards to the chief bishop, who
anathematise the KING, and all who wish him to
reign over them.

All opposition, however, was doomed to retrea
to holes and corners on the 28th. The French, and
still more the English ships-of-war, joined the na-
tives in giving their hearty cheers and hurrahs,
and did their part with innumerable flags, in re-
sponse to arches and garlands and festeions, and
splendid illuminations and serenades at night.
Justly does the correspondent, who hesitate d to say
too much about the formal popular -deed( Mn of the
KING by ballot, describe this as the true. plebiscite
-the real election. There was no rof yin for mis-
tal eor doubt here. Such a demonst ration could
not be bought, even had such been the wish ; and it
is
ce. rtain enough that it was not done ,to order, or
broug .ht about by fear. It was the sp antaneous and
enthusiastic confirmation, by the Sol ithern capital
of its el mice of Italian unity and con .stitutional go-

of those ringing cheers was a cut ese on the old

architects have been dispensed with altogether,
from beginning to end, in the process of its con-
struction. Instead of an architect, the Commis-
sioners of the Exhibition nominated an Engineer to
preside over the labours of its fabrication—and that
Engineer, the same enterprising gentleman who
had already distinguished himself down at the ex-
treme eastern corner of South Kensington by the
botching together of those audacious iron and wooden
hutches, aptly designated by Mr. GODWIN, of the
Builder (and the name has stuck them ever since),
the " Brompton Boilers." Capt. FOWKES, however,
of the Royal Engineers, has—this at least ought,
in simple justice, to be acknowledged, in his regard
unhesitatingly—shown a decided advance in his
later achievement. " Well he might !" many will
doubtless be disposed to interject here : but

will look at the capacities of the new Build-
ing—and then in regard to these, at least
if in regard to nothing else, we shall find reason to
admire and wonder. A glance down the vast cen-
tralna

suffice. Besides which, at the central point of ;,,_
tersection, in the very core or heart of the structure,
there stretches north and south across the middle of
the Nave, the Central Transept, 635 feet from end
to end—the Central Transept being flanked at
either extremity of the Nave with a Transept here
to the East, there to the West, running parallel to
it, and, of course (like the Central Transept itself),
at right angles to the Nave. Nave and Transepts all
of them being 100 feet high, and all having, at the
least, a width of 85 feet. Perched up aloft, more-
over, there is the mile and half of Upper Galleries
with a width varying from 25 to 50 feet through-
out. It has been calculated, moreover, that the
iron employed in the building of this vast structure
embraces among it " 332 square columns of 12 inches
in-diameter for the Nave and Transepts, 321 eight-
inch round columns, and 14912-inch square columns
for the gallery ; 138 eight-inch square clerestory
columns, and 160 10-inch square columns, support-
ing the floors of the picture-galleries ; with 62
round columns for supporting the roofs of the glass
courts," And by one of those eccentric little fancies
with which mere arithmeticians indulge themselves
by way of illustrating any more than ordinary
aggregate, it has been remarked that " If all the
columns were put end to end they would extend
from the Exhibition building either eastward as
far as the London Docks, or westward as far as
Kew, or northward as far as Hampstead, or south-
ward to the Sydenham Crystal Palace." Then, in
regard to the mere weight of the iron used in the
construction of this singular edifice, it is sure ly
something remarkable to know for certain that as
many as 4,000 tons altogether are there in the shape
of girders, shoes, &c.—to say nothing of a whole
1,000 tons of iron additional for the ribs and co-
lumns and girders of the domes above ! These same
domes being 250 feet high and 160 feet in diameter,
and, consequently, the largest ever known to have
been constructed. As we have been lately reminded,
in fact, by an historical computation, to the effect,
that " The dome of the Parthenon is 142 feet in dia-
meter, and 10 feet high ; the dome in the baths of
Caracaila was 111 feet in diameter ; Brunelleschi's,
at Florence, is 139 feet in diameter, and 133 feet
high ; the dome of St. Peter's is 158 feet in dia-
meter, and 268 feet high, from the external plinth ;
and the dome of St. Paul's is 112 feet in diameter,
by 215 feet high." Turning, however, from the
building itself, and reverting again for a moment
to the ceremonies of an inaugural character that
took place there on May-day, it was surely but
strictly in keeping with the scale upon which
everything else there was conducted, when we find
that there were in the orchestra 2,000 singers, male
and female, and 400 instrumentalists. Namely, in
regard to the latter,l4B violins, 50 violas, 45 violin-
cellos, 45 double basses, 6 piccolos, 6 flutes, 10
oboes, 10 clarionets, 12 bassoons, 12 horns, 6 cor-
nets, 6 trumpets, 9 trombones, 3 ophicleides, 4 ser-
pents, 4 bombardens, 4 euphoniums, 12 side-drums,
3 sets of kettle. drums, and, together with triangles,
cymbals, and so forth, the Big Drum expressly made
for the great HANDEL Festival. Without remem-
brance of that rolling diapason of sound from the
orchestra on May-day, we close for a while our
running comments upon the mere Statistics of the

We must now drop the old expression " The army
of the Potomac." Our readers must now look out
for intelligence from two great and hardly con-
nected armies—the army before Yorktown, arid
that before the little village of inth, important
only as the junction of two intersecting railways.
The two great Federal armies and the opposed Con-
federate armies are distant from each other in a
direct line not less than seven hundred miles; the
Northern communications with the capital are all
quite open ; but the clever seizure of the railway
by General MITCHELL has completely severed the
two Confederate armies from all intercourse with
each other, except indeed by very tardy and cir-
cuitous routes. This will compel BEAUREGARD to
rely on the country south of him, which is little
qualified to supply his wants. The army opposed
to him is supplied from the wealthy and populous
.North-west States, and will probably soon recruit
tself after the severe check it has received. It will
•obably, however, find that the works thrown up
Corinth, where no gunboats can approach, are not
'•ie carried without a severe struggle, if they
Irried at all. To this point, therefore, where

and M'DowELL will be able separately or unitedly
to fall upon Richmond, while the chief Federal
army in Virginia confronts M'CLELLAN, remains to
be seen. It is evident that the Confederates do
not mean to surrender the Premier State without

a severe struggle.
The chief part of the news Which arrived yester-
day consists merely of rumours, and when the
direct statements we receive become every day less
and less reliable through the restrictions put on the
press by Government, it is useless to endeavour to
to extract truth, or even probabilities, from in-
, mours. Even the positive assertion that a despatch
of General BEAUREGARD had been intercepted,
whose contents were furnished, was, it is now said,
false ; the despatch is affirmed to be a forgery !
Nothing but the utmost suspicion and vigilance
can guard against imposition in the study of news
from Northern sources. We cannot, however, say
that that from the South is much more trust-
worthy. It is only now that we begin fairly to
understand the of the groat Federal check
at Pittsburg Landing.

M. Mercier'i visit to Richmond still causes much
speculation.
The Richmond Examiner states that the object
of M. Mercier's visit has not definitely transpissed
red,
but that he is reported to have unofficially expre
great interest to ascertain what commercial treati:.,s
the Confederate government was disposed to make
with France.

The Richmond Despatch says that M. Mercier
has opened negotiations with the Confederate Secre-
taries of State.
The Confederate Congress has determined not to
adjourn until t termination of M. Mercier's mis-

the Confederate President.

THE BANK ROBBERY AT GENOA.—A correspon-
dent writing from Genoa, on the Ist, gives the following
details of the extraordinary bank robbery
already
nounced by telegraph :—This city has been thrown into
the greatest excitement by a robbery,perfectly unparalleled
for its magnitude and audacity, which has just com-
mitted on M. B. Parodi and Son, the well-known bankers.
To-day at half-past one o'clock a band of armed mitu-
en,
about twenty in number, entered M. Parodi's bank, s
ated in Strada Nuova, one of the most frequented tho-
roughfares, and overpowered and tied down to their desks
all the clerks, who were seated in one large room
with their employers, these latter being treated
in the same manner; and while some of the
intruders
held their captives still with loaded pistols and drawn
knives held to their throats, the others coolly
made a
clear sweep of all the notes and cash within reach. The
sum taken amounts to 735,000 f., Messr balances on Parodi having
unfortunately the habit of keeping their
own premises in preference to depositing them at the
was going on, two or
Bank. While the process of rifling
ened to enter the bank, and were
three customers Kapp
secured and gagged by the burglars, who after having
safes, left the office quictly
emptied out the tills and
by twos and
_threes, in th©
same way as they came, so as
not to excite suspicion in the streets. So complete was the
success of the whole manoeuvre that the alarm was not
given till some time atter the last of the robbers had disap-
peared,
who, one of the clerks succeeded in freeing him-
self from his fastenings, and ran out to inform the neigh-
bours of the fact. It must be unders ood that the
office is situated on the top floor of M. Paredi's
palazzo, and quite at the back, so that even if any of the
clerks had had the time or courage to shout for help, their
cries would probably have passed unnoticed. M. Parodi,
the head of the firm, is at present in the hands of his medi-
cal atteniant, his frame having suffered a
hemsost severe
feeble,
ock
from the effects of the outrage, and, as old and
it is feared that the consequences may be fatal.
Mr. James Shoolbred, of Tottenham-court-road,
was buried on S ,turday, at Kensal-Green Cemetery, at the
age of 69. By the spontaneous request of the assistants in
the establishment of the deceased, about 160 of the number
took a part in the funeral procession,
