sanatoriums, they yet openly denounce both his pro-
clamation for emancipation of the slaves as a mili-
tary measure, and the very suspension itself of the
habeas corpus act in virtue of which ho could walk
off the stump orator into custody. Of course the
PRESIDENT is not so foolish. It is the sneaking
traitors he aims at ; the men who treasonably com-
municate with the enemy, and inform them of
Federal military movements, and the men who
endeavour to check the enlistment he has ordered.
These unworthy Free States men deserve no pity.
Perhaps every one of them is destitute of pity for
the black fellow citizen in bondage in the South,
and would scout the notion of a negro claiming a
writ of habeas corpus. Let them have a taste of
bondage without slavery, as they are so fond of
fetters, and slavery too, for others.
The large meeting of the New York Democrats,
to which we refer, passed resolutions requiring the
PRESIDENT to carry on the war constitutionally, as
well as condemning the proclamation and the
habeas corpus suspension. We should like to know
how such a war could be carried on constitutionally
when the authors of the war have thrown the con-
stitution overboard, set up another, and, without a
single practical grievance, separated from the
general Government because they proved to be a
minority at an election. Even their cherished in-
stitution was not only not attacked, but too jea-
lously protected; and Mr; LINCOLN would, unfor-
tunately, have given them any guarantees they
wished for non-interference with slavery and for
surrendering fugitive slaves. The only thing he
would not guarantee was,that he would aid in cover-
ing soil yet free with slavery. Does any Englishman
think he ought to have surrendered that point. Bad
as the American Constitution is in regard to fugitive
slave law clauses, it is not so bad as to consign the
territories to slavery. Will it be pretended by the
advocates of the South that Mr. LINCOLN ought to
have assured the South that he would work the
constitution, so far as his influence went, in the
interest of extension of slavery, and not, as he
affirmed he would, in the interests of freedom. In
his recent pretentious speech at Liverpool, Mr.
MOREHEAD, of Kentucky, to our minds, convicted
the South of seceding on this single point. We
have, indeed, always maintained that slavery exten-
sion was the real object of Southern fighting, and
prevention of that, as far as slavery is concerned,
the real object of the North. The North, to its
shame, preferred the continuance of slavery where
it existed; it only desired to keep it where it was;
and this, too, from no philanthropical sentiment,
but simply because, like the people of Illinois and
Kansas, it wanted to be able to keep not only the
slave, but even the free coloured man, from the yet
unsettled territory. Be the reason what it might,
the North desired no unconstitutional action ; it
simply desired by regular and constitutional means
to make the extension of the Republic an extension
of freedom, not of slavery.

The Democrats read a letter from General
SCOTT, dated last March twelvemonths, as if that
could be applicable to the present state of things.
The old General leaned to the CRITTENDEN com-
promise, or to allowing the South to depart in
peace. He considered the conquest of the South
would be a work of years, of large armies, of
able generals, and of much blood and treasure,
and that, when accomplished, it would require
for 'generations a costly garrison to retain it.
There is no doubt, probably, now, even in Mr.
LiNcoLN's mind of this last point, but he well
knows that the South would not now depart in
peace, with only so much territory as the North
would allow it. The North-west will never sur-
render the Mississippi, the North-east will never
part with the Bay of Chesapeake, while neither
would forego the Border States. To part in peace,
now, is out of the question. The sad business
must be fought out; and, unless we are mistaken,
the South is much more rapidly approaching ex-
haustion than the North. It has made splendid
exertions, in the worst cause man ever fought
for, but we hope it has nearly worn itself out.

These will be glad tidings to all the friends of
GARIBALDI in England—that Professor PARTRIDGE
has again taken his departure for Spezzia! It was
time enough that some intimation of the kind should
be made public. The rumours as to the Hero's actual
condition, every day almost becoming uglier and more
alarming. True it is that there were circumstances
brought to our knowledge simultaneously with
the receipt of this sinister intelligence—
circumstances encouraging us reasonably enough,
the while, to believe that the evil rumours
were for the most part monstrous exaggerations.
For example, it certainly did not look as if the
General's wounds were so very alarming, or even, as
it was hinted at times, in so agonising a condition
as the more doleful correspondents maintained—
when it became known to us, as it did but very
recently, it will be remembered—that GARIBALDI
was well enough to be removed from the position
of Varignano to a more cheerful residence at
Spezzia—a house belonging there to the Italian
Minister of Marine. Nevertheless, even with
all the encouragement derivable from incidents
like these, the statements as to the continued
seriousness, and still more the undeniable ob-
scurity of the wound in the hero's ankle, have
filled the friends of GARIBALDI here in England
with the liveliest anxiety. And this of late, it
should be said, increasingly. We cannot wonder,
therefore, under the circumstances, that Mr.
PARTRIDGE lies deemed it in every way
advisable in his own interests and the interests
of GARIBALDI, and in the interests of the friends
of GARIBALDI, to revise his former opinion
in regard to the condition of the still suffering,
but happily no longer imprisoned, hero : viz.,
by returning for however brief a while to Spezzia.
For his supplementary report from that place we
shall now look forward with the most eager
curiosity.

The Transatlantic Telegraph is not to be quite
forgotten. Mr. CYRUS FIELD and Messrs. GLASS,
ELLIOTT, and Co., are in correspondence on the
subject, and the latter have stated the terms on
for 12
which they are willing to commence the enter-
prise.

As the confidence of
entirely on its confidence
in the great knowledge and experience of GLASS,
ELLIOTT, and Co.—it will make the risk incurred
by them the measure of its trust. Now the great
telegraph firm proposes to be secured against a first
direct loss, by weekly repayments of their actual
disbursements for labour and material. Their
profits, however, are to be made abio-
lately contingent on the successful works
ing of the line, since, though they are to re-
ceive 20 per cent. on the actual cost of the line
for their " time, services, and profit," they are to
receive it in shares of the company, we presume at
par, in 12 instalments during each month the cable
is in successful working. After the line is laul,there-
fore, the entire value of their shares will of course

depend on its continued success. In any case their
cash subscription would bo lost if the line does not
succeed, as their profits being in shares these would
would not reimburse them even in that shape un-
less the line were worked at a profit.
Messrs. GLASS and Co. accompany their letter
with a table of thirty submarine lines laid by their
company, w ith particulars of the length of the lines,
the depths to which they are sunk, and other cha-
racteristics. The longest laid, these between 1.
Sweden and Denmark, 2. Italy and Corsica,
3. Corsica and Sardinia, have been in suc-
cessful working eight years. The longest
one between France and Algeria, 550 miles,
has been at work two years. Two more of 360
miles and 300 have been at work six and five years
respectively. Altogether GLASS, ELLIOTT, and Co.
have laid 3,929 miles of cable, containing 6,749
miles of isolated wire, all in successful operation.
One fact mentioned by them shows that even a
fault in laying, or a breakage, does not render the
case hopeless. Part of the line between France and
Algiers was taken up from the depth of 1,250
fathoms, from a rocky bottom, sixteen miles
of ling recovered, a fault cut out, and the cable re-
laid with perfect success. Another line, of which
the end was lost in 450 fathoms water,was grappled
for, recovered, and the line completed. It is evi.
dent, therefore, that very great improvement has
been made in ocean telegraphy since the failure of the
Atlantic cable. Let us not forget one fact. A
transatlantic cable when the affair of the Trent
occurred, would have saved the national exchequer
£700,000.

RETURN OF HER MAJES7 F.

WOOLWICH, OCT. 26.

A succession of telegrams referring to the Queen's
arrival were daily received at Woolwich during the
past week, and on Saturday a special message an-
nounced that her Majesty would cross over from
Antwerp during the night, and would land at the
dockyard about midday on Sunday. A number of ship-
wrights were accordingly set towork yesterday morn-
ing at an early hour, and by ten o'clock the landing-
stage was carpeted with scarlet cloth and sheltered
with a thick canvass awning, and an additional brow
was added, raising and extending the stage so as to
enable her Majesty to walk from the gangway of her
vessel to her carriage without inconvenience. The
strictest secrecy was ordered to be observed in all
the proceedings, and the public were to be rigidly
excluded. About 11 o'clock the Royal carriages
arrived from Backingham Palace, nine in number,
in charge of Colonel Maude and Mr. Norton, and
entered at the main gate. This caused an assem-
blage of about 200 persons, who waited anxiously,
in spite of a heavy storm of rain, to obtain a glimpse
of the Queen on her pass'ng from the dockyard.
A message from Admiral Jonnstone, at Sheerness,
announced the Royal squadron to have passed the
Nore at a quarter before 9 o'clock, and shortly
afterwards a telegram was received from Green-
lithe, stating that the Royal family were about to
disembark and proceed in the Vivid and Irene to
Woolwich. At half-past 11 the two vessels made
their appearance off the dockyard, and, the tide
flowing up at the time, they were enabled to ap-
proach the stage and land their passengers in safety,
and without risk of danger, in the course of less than
half an hour.

Her Majesty was received on landing by Viscount
Sydney, Lord Chamberlain, in plain clothes, and Sir
Frederick Nicolson, Commodore-Superintendent.
Her Majesty, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses
Prince Leopold and the Princesses Relena and
Louisa, and suite, then entered three of the Royal
carriages, and immediately left the dockyard, pass-
ing out by the Factory gate, to the great disap-
pointment and chagrin of those who had waited in
expectation of their leaving by the main thorough-
fare. Her Majesty was accompanied to Woolwich
by Captain Seymour, C. 8., commanding the Royal
yacht, and appeared to have borne the voyage with-
out inconvenience. The Queen's state barge, be-
longing to the Royal yacht, was towed up to Wool-
wich to be in readiness in case the ships should not
be able to approach the landing-place, but from the
excellent arrangements carried out the barge was
not brought into requisition. The Black Eagle,
having embarked his Royal Highness Prince Arthur
at Ostend, brought up in the Downs on Saturday
night, having sustained some damage, and arrived
at the Arsenal pier, Woolwich, at 2.15, about two
hours after the Queen and the other members of the
Royal family had taken their departure. The
Prince was received by Commodore Sir F. Nicolson,
and proceeded without delay to London by rail, en
route for Osborne. The carriages brought by the
Black Eagle will be landed to-day. The Victoria
and Albert returned to the Nore, and will go into
Sheerness harbour this morning to coal, and will
proceed to Portsmouth.

His Royal Highness the General Commanding-
in-Chief will hold a levee at one o'clock on Friday, the 31st
instant.

Their Imperial Highnesses Prince Napoleon and
Princess Clotilde, attended by the Countess de Clermont
Tonnerre and Colonel Ferri-Pisani, have arrived at the
Clarendon Hotel, from Lisbon.

The Earl and Countess Stanhope have arrived at
the:Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone.
Frances Countess of Albemarle and Colonel the
Hon. Peregrine Cust have arrived at the Pavilion Hotel,
Folkestone, from the Continent.

Lord and Lady Headley and family have arrived
in Brighton for the winter.
Colonel de Novossiltzvow has arrived at the
Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, from St. Petersburg, with
despatches for the Russian Embassy.
We understand that a telegram was received in
town on Saturday morning, inviting Professor Partridge
to take part in a medical consultation to be held on Wed-
nesday, the 29th inst,, on the state of Garibaldi's wound,
and the treatment to be adopted. It is well known that
rumours of as alarming kind have lately been prevalent,
and we are therefore glad to hear that arrangements have
been made between the Garibaldi Committee and Mr.
Partridge, who started yesterday morning en his way to
Spezzia.

GARIBALDI'S REPLY TO A GERMAN ADDRESS.=
in a letter, still dated from the Varignano, Garibaldi trans-
mits to. Karl Blind the " expression of his heartfelt thanks
for the warm words of friendship!' contained in an address
the latter had sent to him in the name of German compa-
triots. The reply is conveyed through the medium of one
of the oldest personal friends and companions in arms of
the General. The writer adds some very bitter remarks on
the Ministers, the King, and " that magnanimous ally
whom all the world knows."

GARIBALDI AND HIS OPPONENTS.—In conse-
quence of rumours that a Garibaldian demonstration was to
take place at Blackheath, at the entrance of Greenwich
Park, yesterday afternoon, and that large numbers of Irish-
men would attend to oppose the movement, by direction of
the police commissioners a large body of the R division was
kept in reserve in a building near the park, from 2 p.m. un-
til dark, ready to quell any disturbance that might occur.
Immense numbers visited Blackheath and the Park during
the afternoon, but no breach of the peace occurred, the mul-
titude separating into various parties, some of whom cheered
for Garibaldi and others for the Pope.
NEW LIFEBOATS FOR PORTUGAL.—On Satur-
d,ty two additional splendid lifeboats, on the plan of the
National Lifeboat Institution, built for the Portuguese
Government, had their harbour trial in the Regent's Canal
dock, Limehouse. They underwent most satisfactorily the
usual testing of their qualities of self-righting, self-ejecting
of water, and of stability. They leave on bard a steamer
in a day or two for the Peninsula. Six lifeboats, including
the two in question, have been built within the last few
months by Messrs. Forrestt, under the direction of Admiral
Sir George Sartorius, fLr the Portuguese Government. A
lifeboat of the National Institution, intended for Drogheda,
on the Irish coast, was also tried on Saturday with an
equally satisfactory result. She left London yesterday on
board Mr. Malcolmson's steamer for Dublin. During the
past stormy week some of the lifeboats of the National Life-
boat Institution have, in addition to assisting several vessels
into port, saved 22 shipwrecked sailors from different
wrecks, who must otherwise in all human probability have
perished, Within the last two years and a half the life-
boats of the institution have saved nearly 800 sailors on
vseanritesutsorpmarts of our coast. With its large fleet of 123 life-
boats, its

nuous. The institution, therefore, earnestly appeals to the
public to aid it to meet its very heavy charges at the pre-
CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE SHILLING DAY.—On
Saturday the admissions on payment were 4,462; do. by
I season tickets, 1,712; total, 6,174.

leaves at 6 p.m. for Alexandria.

The Pera, with the heavy portion of the Calcutta

ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 25.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of today pub-
lishes a diplomatic correspondence between Earl
Russell and Prince Gortschakoff in reference to the
Montenegrin question and the state of things in
Turkey generally.

Earl Russell holds opinions contrary to those of
the Russian Government respecting the conditions
of peace imposed upon Montenegro, and explains
for what reasons England must decline to give her
support to projects which have no other aim than
that of dissolving the ties of suzerainty which con-
nect Montenegro with Turkey.
Prince Gortschakoff, in reply, endeavours to show
that the Porte has acted with great dishonesty
towards Montenegro, and states that Russia also
considers the maintenance of the Turkish empire as
important for the political equilibrium of Europe.
Russia must insist, however, upon a mere concilia-
tory system of Government being inaugurated in
Turkey as far as the Christian subjects of the Porte
are concerned.

Prince Gortschakoff also censures the conduct of
the Turkish Government in the Herzegovina and
Montenegro, and at Belgrade.
