THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1867.1

spoken. The gathering of working-men last
evening at the Pimlico Institution, to take part
in the inaugural meeting of the " London
Westminster 'Working Men's Constitutional Asso-
ciation," was therefore a welcome sight to all who
like to see our mechanics and artisans taking a little
intelligent interest in the constitution under which
they live. Mr. W. 11. SMITII, the president of the
association, made an interesting opening address,
and several noblemen and gentlemen took part in
the proceedings. The chief interest of the evening,
however, belonged to the working men, whose
representative spoke with a hearty goodwill and
downrightness, which no doubt the Chancellor of
the Exchequer would glad to see imitated by his
supporters in the Hoase of Commons.

The arrival of the steamer New York from the
city of that name on the 231. ult. brings us little
information of an important character. The dis-
turbances at Mobile have produced some uneasi-
ness, not so much on their own account, as because
it is feared that the enemies of the South will use
them as unanswerable arguments against any
further concessions. The riot of last year at New
Orleans was productive of much mischief to the
Southern cause, and deeply is this felt by the
Southerners themselves, that they have been
making considerable efforts to demonstrate that
the riot was due to accident, and not
to deign or premeditation of any kind.
The leading inhabitants of Mobile itself
have held a large meeting under the presidency
of the Mayor, at which they passed resolutions
assuring the country at large of their disapproba-
tion of the conduct of the rioters, and declared
that the people of the city were not disposed to in-
terfere in any way with the right of free speech.
Mr. KELLY, as we know, was invited by the Mayor
and others to repeat his speech, and was promised
full protection, but he preferred to wear the crown
of political martyrdom, and declined to do so. His
speech seems to have been designed to provoke and
irritate his hearers, and there is too much reason to
fear, whatever Mr KELLY'S intention may have been,
that the object of many of the Radical emissaries now
" starring it" southwards is to embroil the people,
and to get up riots between black and white. It is
very hard that the peaceable and orderly inhabit-
ants of the Southern States, who, at great sacrifices
of feeling and interest, are studiously obeying the
law, should be accused of rioting and turbulence, of
disaffection and:sedition. It is never difficult to get
up a riot among the lower orders of a large city,
the idlers, the frequenters of taverns, and those who
hope to gain some profit from the opportu-
nities afforded by a general disturbance.
More especially is this the case when many of the
loungers are negroes, always excitable and vehement,

easily carried away by the pa3sions of the rumen

The New York journals, for the most part, have
taken a fair view of the matter, regarding the riot
as a spontaneous affair, and blaming KELLY alike

fur his violence of speech and cowardice of action.
The New York 7 intes, indeed, goes further, for it
openly declares that the Southern people should not
be held responsible for the interference with the
freedom of public speech. " The Northerners,"
says the writer quaintly enough, " have a right to
call the Southern people liars, cowards, and bar-
barians ; but if we send men to the South, who
wantonly insult and exasperate the Southern people,
we must be tolerant in judging of the temper in
which their rights are received." The Northern
people, the Radicals mjre especially, will do well to
remember this, should any other of the army of
Radical orators, now getting ready for action south-
wards, become involved in local disputes and dis-
turbanea. All Northerners, whether Radicals or
otherwise, arc far fro:n being so int ilerant or unjust
to the Southern people. Mr. HORACE GREELEY
has just given a notable example of moderation and
goodwill in signing the bail bonds of JEFFERSON
Davis. For this act he has been lou lly abused by
the extreme and violent section of his party, and has
at last been driven to reply. Ile says truly enough
that Mr. DAvls's long imprisonment was theoreti-
cally lawless and practically mischievous, and that

those who are loudest in condemning his release are
really glad of it. His signature was, he thinks,
asked for on account of his opinions, since " they
could easily have given ten millions of dollars." Mr.
GREELEY need not trouble himself about the un-
reasoning abuse of men who arc not to be conci-
liated without a total sacrifice of principle and feel-
ing, but may rest assured that his conduct was not
only just and politic, but eminently patriotic, as
being calculated to heal the wounds, and restore the
united sympathies of the people.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Monday Evening.
_ _

The Moniteur says :
" The organs of public opinion, both at Vienna
and in Hungary, strongly and unanimously dis-
approve of the teuour of a letter from Kossuth to M.
Deak, in which the ex-Dictator denounces as pre-
judicial to the interests of the country the conduct
of that statesman as regards his relations with the
Austrian Government."

A letter from Turin, dated May 31, gives the fol-
lowing account of the marriage of the Duke d'Aoste
with the Princess de la Cisterne

"The signature of the contract of marriage be-
tween .11.11.11. the Duke d'Aoste, second son of the
King, with the Princess Maria dal Pozzo della Cis-
terne, took place on the evening of the 28th May in
the ball-room of the Palace of Turin. The King
entered the saloon at nine o'clock, arm in arm with
the young Princess. The King seated himself, and
all the royal family sat down by his side. The
King, his son, the Prince Napoleon, and the Prince
de Carrignan, were in uniform. The Queen of Por-
tugal, the Princess Clotilde, and the Duchess of
Genoa wore the court cloak, covered with precious
stones. The Princess de Cistcrnc was dressed in
very plain and simple style. Count Caripello, Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs, read aloud the marriage

contract.
" The principal clauses of the marriage contract
give property to each independent of the other;
200,000 fr. of Rente to the married pair during the I
life of the Princess Mother ; gift of a sum of one
million in specie, and 50,000 f. per annum for the
toilet of the young Duchess. When the marriage
contract bad been read, the King signed it first,
then the members of the royal family, and after-
wards the witnesses. The master of the ceremonies
then called by name all the invited guests to give
their signatures to the contract. The Archbishop
of Turin, as well as the bishops of Biella, Aoste,
and Mantua also signed the contract.
" On the 30th the Prince de Carignan and the
Princess Clotilde went to the hotel of the young
Princess to meet her. At half-past ten o'clock the
Duke d'Aoste and the Princess Cisterne were mar-
ried, by civil cen'ract, by the President of the
Senate, according to the new Italian Civil Code,
which is in exact conformity with the Code-Napo-
kou. Jlefore replying in the affirmative, the Duke
d'Aoste turned towards the King, his father, to ask
his consent, and the Princess Cisterne towards the
Princess Clotilde, who represented her mother.
"When pronouncing the ' yes,' which gave her
admission to the house of Savoy, Marie de Cisterne
could no longer subdue her feelings, and tears
copiously bathed her face, but the attentions of the
Queen of Portugal and the Princess Clotilde soon
restored her to her accustomed serenity. The Pre-
sident of the Senate made au address of congratu-
lation to the young Prince and Princess, in which
he alluded to the attachment and fidelity of Italy to
the august House of Savoy.
" At eleven o'clock the Prince and Princess pro-

ceeded to the private chapel of the King, where LATEST INTELLIGENOB•
a numerous company were assembled. The nup-
tial blessing was pronounced by the Archbishop of (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
Turin, assisted by several bishops.
" In the evening there was a grand dinner and
gala. The chateau was magnificently illuminated.
At nine the King and Royal Family retired, and
the Prince and Princess in morning dress passed
through the crowd in an open caleche on the way to
the chateau of Stapinigi, where they were to pass a
part of the honeymoon. Prince Humbert accom-
panied the carriage on horseback. The Queen of
Portugal also proceeded to the chateau of Stapinigi.
After the ecremony Prince Napoleon left for Bo-
logna, the Princess Clotilde remaining at Turin."
The races in the Bois de Boulogne yesterday went
off in splendid style. The chief interest, however,
was directed to the Grand Priz de Paris, which was
won by M. de Montgomery's Fervacques.
Before leaving St. Petersburg for Paris the Em-
peror Alexander granted an amnesty to the persons
who had been prosecuted for being concerned in
attempts to assist the Polish provinces to revolt
against Russia. All the steps taken by the prose-
cution are to be quashed. Clemency is to b 3 awarded
to ecclesiastics and Poles imprisoned in Russia, and
they are to be allowed to return home.
Genuine summer weather has not been of long
duration. Last night there was a peculiarly violent
storm of thunder and lightning, which lasted for
hours. The lightning was not of an alarming cha-
racter, but it was almost incessant. The thunder
was not loud, and was not manifested by occasional
claps, but it rumbled and moaned for two or three
hours at frequent intervals, and the wind was vio-
lent. This morning calm was restored, and it has
been much cooler, but it is evident that we are to be
subjected to more meteorological derangements.
Phis anticipation is confirmed by the calculations of
,he Observatory.

HUN GARY.

PESTI!, June 3.
In to-day's sitting of the Upper house of the
Hungarian Diet, the resolutions of the Lower
House, in reference to the post of Count Palatine,
the appointment of the Ministers, the budget, and
the military frontier were unanimously adopted.
In the Lower House the draft of the inaugural
diploma, the coronation oath, and of the bill in re-
ference to the abdication of the King, were laid
before the members.

The draft of the bill in reference to the abdiea.

tion is drawn up in the form of a ministerial pro-
posal, and prescribes that future abdications shall
always take place with a special notification of the
fact referred to, and the constitutional co-operation
of the Hungarian Diet. The Inaugural Diploma
and the Coronation oath arc both drawn in accor-
dance with the ancient form.
The Inaugural Diploma consists of an introduc-
tory paragaph and five articles. In the introduc-
tory paragraph his Majestydeclares that he ascended
the throne in 1818 after the abdication of Ferdi-

nand and Francis Joseph, but that his coronation
having been postponed by grave events which have
occurred since that time that ceremony, however,
has DOW by the restoration of the constitution been
rendered possible.
The difficulties arising from the faulty form of
the late King's abdication act are to be removed
by a special law on the subject.
The first article of the oath declares a legal suc-
cession to the throne of Hungary and the adjacent
countries—the constitution, the independence,
freedom, and integrity of the country, the strict
maintenance of all laws, whether passed prior to

the present time or in the future, and these declara-
tions the King confirms by oath at his coronation.
The second article declares that the crown of St.
Stephen shall not be removed from the country.
The third article declares that the countries legally
and historically forming portions of Hungary be
incorporated with that country.
The fourth article declares that in the event of
the extinction by death of successors to the Hun-
garian Throne of the House of Hapsburg, Hungary
shall have the right of a free election of a Sovereign.
The fifth article engages that all future kings of
Hungary shall issue a similar inaugural diploma
previous to their coronation, and swear to maintain
the Hungarian laws.
The debate on the diploma and the oath will take
place to-morrow.

Naw STAMP Dums.-:—The new act on the Cus-
toms and Inland Revenue was issued yesterday ; it received
the royal assent on Friday, when tho now duties in refer-
ence to marine insurances took effect. Sevaral former
acts on sea insurances were repealed, and the new duty is
now 3d. for every AHOU, and the same amount for time up
to six months, and 6d. exceeding six months and under
twelve. No policy is to be for a longer period than one
year. The Inland R•veuue Comm►ss►oners are to provide
blank stamped fermi, and to keep an office for the sale
open in the City of London. A form of the now policy is
given in the statute. The other duties set forth are on tea
and the income tax, being the same as were in operation
last year.
SHREWSBURY SCHOOL—Four of the six University
verse prizes for undergraduates at Cambridge have beer.

bury School. The Porsou prize has now fallen to the lot
of Shrewsbury men (including two brackets) 16 times
