spok en. The gathering of working-men last
even! ing at the Pimlico Institution, to -take part
in `the inaugural meeting of the " London
Westminster Working Men's Constitutional Asso-
ct was therefore a welcome sight to all who
lialzzic)ntos'en our mechanics and artisans taking a little
int elligent interest in the constitution under which
they- Este. Mr. W. H. SMITH, the president of the
asso( :laic a, made an interesting opening address,
and se reral noblemen and gentlemen took part in
the pr aceedings. The chief interest of the evening,
howel Er, belonged to the working men, whose
reprerientatives spoke with a hearty goodwill and
downrightness, which no doubt the Chancellor of
the.. Exchequer would b 3 glad to see imitated by his
s'...pporters in the 'loose of Commons.

The arrival of the steamer New York from the
city of that name on the 23d. 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 design 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 passions of the moment.
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
for his violence of speech and cowardice of action.
The New York Mites, 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 ; bat 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 mere especially, will do well to
remember this, should any other of the army of
Radie.ll orators, now getting ready for action south-
wards, becorna involved in local disputes and dis-
turbanc .s. All Northerners, whether Radicals or
otherwise, are far from being so int)lerant or unjust
•
to the Southern people. Mr. IloaieE GREELEY
has just given a notable example of moderation and
goodwill in signing the bail bonds of JEFFERSON
awls. For this act he has been loudly abused by
the extreme and violent section of his party, and has
at last been driven to reply. lie says truly enough
that Mr. DAVIS'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. Ilis 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 are 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 llungary, strongly and unanirnouly dis-
approve of the tenour 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 H.R.H. the Duke d'Aoste, second son of the
King, with the Princess Maria dal Pozzo dello. 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 Cisterne 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
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 had 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 contract, by the President of the
Senate, according to the new Italian Civil Code,
which is in exact conformity with the Code Napo-
leon. _Before 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 an address of congratu-
lation to the young Prince and Princess, in which
he alluded to the attachment and fidelity of Italy to
the august Home of Savoy.
" At eleven o'clock the Prince and Princess pro-
