fering GARIBALDI to leave, and his noble band to •
be broken up. The difficulties of retaining
them were many and obvious, but might they not
have been overcome ? There is a general feeling.
throughout Europe, that the noblest patriot this
generation has seen, or is likely to see, has with his
patriot band not received the treatment they
merited. If we might Frenchify in expression a
little, we should say, the liberal conscience of
Europe is not satisfied, while the enemies of VICTOR
EMMANUEL and of free institutions can exclaim
—see how those are treated who deserved well,
assurealy,of those who have slighted them. But look-
ing only at the desirableness of working the great
revolution quietly, ought not the Garibaldians to
have received full satisfaction. They had deserved
it ; and to them the newly emancipated people
chiefly looked. It was not the King of PIEDMONT'S
name which gave GARIBALDI a place in the hearts
of the Southern Italians; but just the reverse—
VICTOR EMMANUEL was accepted because GARI-
BALDI trusted him. Could it be wise in Count
CAYOUR to advise his Monarch to break the wand
with which he charmed? Has he not by so doing
opened the door to the causes of coldness and dis-
union among his new subjects. Had he any
means of attaching them to his will so effectual as
using merely the influence of GARIBALDI.

The principal demand of the great General was
on behalf of his followers. He wished his decrees
to remain in force, none of them being in any way
in conflict with constitutional Government; if any
of these were not adapted to be permanent, that of
course could have been matter of after discussion,
for GARIBALDI /as not shown himself an imprac-
ticable man. But dearer still to him than this was

the position of the remnant of that noble band
which had landed at Marsala, had triumphed over
the hundred thousand of the Royalist troops, and
after their miraculous campaign had placed a
Crown in VICTOR Emu',TrEL's hands. Was any
honour too much for them at the hands of the
King and the Italians? At almost any inconve-
nience, it will appear to distant observers,
these men ought to have been scrupulously
guaranteed all the honours, promotions, and
and posts assigned them by GARIBALDI. They
would have been but few in number in the much
larger Piedmontese army ; they might have needed
a little more discipline and training ; but means
should have been found to save the pride, at least
in no way to wound the natural feelings of men in
their position. Unless better proof to the contrary
than we have yet seen be furnished, the general
opinion will be that CAVOUR would have done
better to retain the Volunteer Army, to let it act as
a corps by itself, to retain, in great part, their
peculiar habits which have proved so useful, and
thus to have had at command a body of Irregulars,
as they might be termed, which would assuredly
not have been one of the least formidable portions
of the Italian army.
Count CAVOUR and his master evidently antici-
pate war sooner or later with Austria. The spring
is looked forward to by all parties with not a little
anxiety. And then Italy's great neighbour, who
boasts of having initiated her liberation, while she
holds her capital in servitude, will treat
Italy with respect in proportion to her strength.
We believe that both Austria and France would
fear more an Italian army, one of whose wings
was composed of such men as skirted the foot of
the Alps in the Italian campaign, everywhere
routing the Austrians, or as marched from Marsala
to Naples without a defeat, than an army com-
posed wholly of regular troops. For the defence
of Italy surely a body of troops could hardly have
been devised more suitable than one on whose
movements no foe can calculate, and whose onset
at an unexpected hour no regular soldiers have
withstood, or probably can withstand. We do
not doubt Count . CATOUR'S loyalty to his
great object, but we must doubt whether all the
wisdom is with him. There has ever been an in-.
spiration of genius as in NELSON, DUNDONALD,
NAPIER, GARIBALDI, and their class whose ♦alue
is unfelt by routine 'statesmen and commanders.
They thwart it. They condemn the prophet, whose
sword can fulfil his own prodictions, to inaction ;
but another generation rectifies the appreciation
when it is too late to rectify the error. And the
monument to the great becomes a monument also
to the blindness of their contemporaries.

His Excellency the Prussian Minister and the
Countess Bernstorff gave a grand entertainment on Mon.
day evening at Prussia House, to their Serene Highnesses
the Prince and Princess Holstein-Augustenbourg and their
Serene Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Leiningen.
The following were invited to meet their serene highnesses:
—His Excellency the Bavarian Minister, his Excellency
the Sardinian Minister, Baroness Usedom, Count Blucher,
Count Brandenburgh, Sir Thomas and Lady Cochrane, &c.
Their Serene Highnesses the Hereditary Prince
and Princess Holstein-Augustenbourg have left Howchin's
Hotel for Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty.

His Excellency the United States Minister and
Mrs. Dallas returned to town OR Monday from a visit to the
Queen at Windsor Castle.
The Countess de Rottermund and General and
Madame Hermacloff have taken their departure from the
Brunswick Hotel for Paris.

Lady Catharine Allen and Miss Allen have
arrived at Howehin's Hotel, from their seat in South Wales.

The Right Hon. Sir William Jolliffe and Colonel
Taylor, M.P., have returned to town from Hughendon
Manor, where they have been on a visit to the Right Hon.
B. Disraeli.

Sir William and Lady Hayter arrived at the
Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, on Monday, from the Conti-
nent, and left on the following day for Southill-park, near
Wokingham.

COMPANIONS OF THE BATH.—Soap and towels
—Putielt.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The performances at
this theatre on Thursday evening will be for the benefit of
Mr. Wilde, the treasurer, a gentleman who performs not
only the immediate duties of his office, but many others in
which the comfort and convenience of the audience are in-
timately concerned, with a zeal, a thoughtfulness, and a
courtesy which give him the strongest claims upon the
support of the public. The entertainments announced for
the occasion are varied and attractive ; and a new farce, to
be called " The Lion Slayer," with Mr. Compton in that
formidable character, will be represented for the first time.

DEATH OF MR. WARRE, M.P.—We regret to
announce the death of Mr. Warre, M.P. for the borough of
Ripon. The event took place at his marine residence, West
Cliff House, Ramsgate, on Sunday night. A fortnight
previously he had attended the evening service at Christ
Church, Ramsgate, and returning home took cold, which,
acting on an enfeebled constitution, accelerated his death.
Mr. Warre was a supporter of Lord Palmerston's adminis-
tration. He had just reached his 74th year.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 3 per mile premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.271 per sterling. On comparing these rates
with the English mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for
standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per
cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from
Hamburg the price of gold is 4241 tier mark, and the shot
exchange en London is 13.41 per £ sterling. Standard gold
at the English mint price is, therefore, at about the
same price in Hamburg and in London. The course of
exchange at New York on London for bills at sixty days'
sight is about 103 per cent.,which, when compared with the
mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is against Englane, ; but, after making allowance
for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre-
sent rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold be-
tween the two countries.

MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS.--011
Monday the Ancient Abbey Lodge at Waltham was visited
by the officers of the North London District. A large
number of members were assembled, and the evening's pro..
ceedings were of the liveliest character. P.P.G.M. Phipps,
of Waltham, addressed the meeting on the progress of the
Abbey District, which had but a small beginning twelve
years since, but was now prosperous in numbers and funds.
As usual, success depended on their exertions, and the
members had worked well to spread the usefulness of the
institution, and meant to do so. It was gratifying to find
the parent district testified its approval of these efforts, and
he asked them to give the honours of the order to their
visitors, with P.G.s Gore, Shergold, and Toms, from the
other London lodges. Prov. G.M. Rough returned thankr,
and said his district looked with pleasure on the success of
its off-shoots, and was itself in a better position than it had
' embers, a great number Vein
ever been, and he proposed " Continued Prosperity to the
Waltham Abbey District. C.L. Findlay, replied, and said

TIE LATE LORD DUNDONALD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Will you kindly oblige me by the insertion
of the accompanying letters as being of importance
to my father's memory no less than of some his-
torical interest P—Your faithful servant,
DUND ONALD.

" 12, Queen's-gate, Kensington.
"My dear Lord Brougham,—l have the pleasure
to forward you the second vclume of my auti-
biography, in which you will find that use has
been made of the kind expressions towards myself
contained in your works.

" Of the injustice done to me I need not tell you
who are so well acquainted with the subject. If
the accompanying volume succeed in impressing on
the public mind the sentiments so unflinchingly set
forth in your works, it will have answered its pur-
pose, and that it will do no I see no reason to doubt
now that the subject can be canvassed apart from
political rancour.—l am, my dear Lord Brougham,
every faithfully yours, " DUNDONALD.
" The Right Hon. Lord Brougham."

" Brougham, Oct. 31.
" My dear C—.,—l have just received your very
kind letter, and I daresay the volume which you
tell me has been sent to Grafton-street will speedily
reach me. Accept my best thanks for it, and for
all you say of your obligations to me in connection
with your trial. But I must remind you that both
in my correspondence and in my book, though I
expressed the clear and unhesitating opinion which
I have always had in common with the rest of
your counsel, yet I never approved of your charge
against Ellenborough in the House of Commons,
and in my book I have stated that he tried the
cause as he would have tried any other in which he
thought there was conflicting evidence. I think
he was quite wrong in the opinions he had formed,
but honestly wrong, and the only complaint which
we considered we had a right to make, and which we
loudly made' was his forcing us to go on with our
case instead of adjourning at nine or ten o'clock.
"I say nothing of the sentence, in which the
other judges were quite as much to bla.me as the
chief. I think justice to the departed requires that
I should remind you of my opinion respecting
Ellenborough, the more so because I have little
doubt that I shall find a good deal said against
him in your second volume.
" One thing, I fear, you do not come down late
enough to relate. I mean the impression made upon
all present when I took you to the Tuileries, and
when the name, so well known to them, C— (and
which I cannot bring myself to change for your
present title), was no sooner heard than there was
a general start and shudder. I remember saying as
we drove away that it ought to satisfy you as to
your disappointment at Basque Roads, and you
answered that you would rather have had the ships.
" Believe me ever, most sincerely yours,
" H. BROUGHAM."

" Paris, Nov. 1, 1860.
"My Lord,—l have just finished the second
volume of your lordship's instructive and agreeable
work, with an amount o: interest naturally height-
ened to one whose recollections extend over so much
that you record; but I have dwelt with more pain-
ful interest on that part which relates to your trial
in 1814, and to the proceedings consequent upon it.
" I deeply regret that a7ter the receipt of the
letter which your lordship addressed to me on the
motion of which I had given notiee in the House
of Commons I did not act on the impression which
that letter conveyed, and ground my motion on my
belief of your innocence. Eut, though I felt bound
to give credit to your as-severUdon, I was not pre-
pared to say that the verdict the jury appeared
to me wholly unsupported-by the evidence brought
before them. I thought it best, therefore, to abstain
from comment on the trial, and to confine my speech
(the first that I ever made on any public question in
Parliament) as much as possible to reprobatiol of
the brutal and barbarous sentence pronounced
upon yon.
" Your lordship has quoted in your favour the
opinions of the two greatest constitutional lawyers
of our time, still happily spared to us in the full
vigour of their intellectual powers.
," To their authority might be added that of the
late Lord Abirger, whom I myself heard declare
some years after he became Chief Justice, at a dinner
party at the late Sir George Phillip's, where the
conversatiou happened to turn on your trial, that,
having been one of your counsel, and fully acquainted
with all the facts of the case, he was satisfied of
your innocence, and that he believed it might have
been established to the satisfaction of the jury if
the judge had not arbitrarily hurried on the de-
fence at a late hour in the evening, and when all
parties were wearied with the fatigue of a 12 hours'
continuous sitting in court, though he had been ap-
plied to for an adjournment till the next morning.
"I apprehend, however, that all question of your
innocence was set at rest by your restoration to
your naval rank by the Government of King Wil-
liam IV., in 1833, and to the Order of the Bath by
that of her present Majesty in 1844, and, as I am
at a loss to conceive why your restoration was not
made as full and complete as that of Sir Robert
Wilson, to which you refer, I cannot but hope that
that tardy act of justice will yet be done to you by
her Majesty's present honest and high-minded ad-
visers.

" Every lover of his country ought to feel grateful
to your Lordship for your able exposure of the
manner in wh 'eh the administration of justice,
whether by courts-ma-2.:al or courts of law, has
heretofore, but wi'hin our own times, been per-
verted to some party objects or personal resent-
ment, and every one will, I am sure, wish with me
to receive from your powerful pen some further
account of your eventful and distinguished career.
—I beg to subscribe myself, with true respect, your
Lordship's faithful and obedient servant,

" FORTESCUE.
"Admiral the Earl of Dondonald, G.C.8., &e."

THE WAR IN fRINA.

A letter just received at Plymouth from a young
officer on board a Government transport at the seat
of war says,—" I have been inside one of the forts
at the Peiho and have had a good view of all four.
They are built almost entirely of mud and the guns,
which are numerous and of heavy calibre, are for
the most part fixed, but suchias are not are clumsily
worked by capstans on each side. The north fort
was taken with great difficulty, the Chinamen
standing to their guns, and defending themselves to
the last, when they were overpowered and
bayoneted. After the north fort was taken the
allies turned one of the guns on the other forts,
which soon after surrendered. The forts are very
little elevated; except a kind of inner fort inside
each. They are surrounded by two, and, in some
places, three ditches, the strip of land between the
ditches being stuck as thick as possible with sharp-
pointed sticks about two feet high—a most
valuable protection from attack in that di-
rection, as the Chinese could easily have
shot down their opponents while embarrassed
among the sticks. There. is nothing to see
ashore but mud—everlasting mud. The first
time I landed the tide was low, and there was about
four miles of mud; which rose so gradually that in
our boat we did not know but that it was water till
we stuck on it, and then with difficulty managed to
get off again. I saw the very place where the troops
were landed in the mud and massacred at the former
attack on the forts. My last letter was directed to
you from the Peiho. Since then we have sailed
round to Odin Bay, and are now taking in water,
with which we are to fill up. Everything is very
cheap here-eicept dollars, which I believe cost much
more than they should. We can get 150 eggs to
the dollar, and a fine full-grown bullock, in good
condition, for 30 dollars. Similar bullocks at home
would cost from £lB to £2O. Calves from to 7
dollars, and so on upwards. Peaches, pears 4 ,
and
_
apples are plentiful and cheap. Fowls at the rate
of four large or six small to the dollar. Tompkins
also are as plentiful as can be. We have fresh meat

out, at least I think so. It is said that all the
soldiers and sailors in Odin Bay are to keep holiday
some day next week. The captain of the Magicienne
has headed a subscription with 40 dols., and the
captains of the different vessels and the military
officers are likely to follow his
example. I suppose
they will have boat racing and jumping in sacks,
donkey racing, &c., and perhaps a public dinner."

SOUTIIAMPTON, I uesday Night.—The 'steamship
Dublin, of Waterford, bound from London to Bordeaux!
with
i a general cargo, has put into this port for repairs, be-
ing n a leaky condition. The captain reports that, when
off the Isle of Wight and near St. Katharine's Head, the
ship struck upon what he supposed to be a sunken wreck.
Finding the vessel had sustained damage in the after run,
and was making about four inches of water per hour, he
immediately bore up for this port. ' She is taken into the
inner dock, where she will discharge her coals and the
greater part of her cargo.

ELEC. lON INTELLI9EII

READING.

READING, Nov. 20.—The quietest election which
ever took place in Reading ended to-day in the
return of Mr. Sergeant Pigott. The learned gen-
tleman took the lead at the opening of the poll, and
kept it until the close, when the numbers stood as
follows :

Pigott .
Walter

577
447

Majority for Pigott...... 130

There was a good deal of bustlo during the day
in the market-place, where all the polling-booths
were congregated, but elsewhere the contest pro-
duced little difference in the aspect of the streets.
At the close of the poll there was some cheering
from the friends of Mr. Sergeant Pigott, but it was
almost drowned in the acclamations with which
Captain Walter, who seems to be a great favourite
with the populace, was received by his supporters.
The gallant captain, as soon as he entered the mar-
ket-place, was surrounded by a great crowd, com-
posed of both electors and non-electors, by whom
he was vociferously cheered. He told them that,
although defeated, he was not disheartened, and
returned his most cordial thanks to those who had
recorded their votes in his favour. The gallant gen-
tleman retired amid the renewed cheering of his
friends, who followed him to his hotel, shouting at
the top of their voices all the way. The result of
the poll will be formally declared to-morrow in the
Town-hall.
