THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1867.

letters." The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in
making his acknowledgments for the honour con-
ferred upon him, declared that he felt the more im-
pressed by the gift, since it was well known that no
political connexion nor identity existed between
that Corporation and the party with which
he was associated. We fully agree with the right
hon. gentleman that this is indeed a circumstance
of peculiar significance, and of great moment. As
he happily expressed it, they " were paying a
homage, a healthy homage to that public life
which is the soul of free states." There is, indeed,
no higher reward to which public men can aspire,
no greater privilege they can boast of, no more
consolatory reflection to dwell upon, than the
fact that their fellow-citizens have deemed them
worthy of honour and regard. Touching upon
political questions, Mr. DISRAELI gained loud
cheers from his auditory by declaring that
her MAJESTY'S Government had fully made up
their minds that Scotland deserved and required
increased representation, and that they meant to
support and further that opinion to the utmost
extent of their influence.

As for education, the topic which just now is so
interesting and important, Mr. DISRAELI said that
he had always been the supporter of popular and
public education, and therefore did not come as a
novice to the consideration of the matter. Scotland
has a good right to judge this question, being, as
he emphatically styled it, a nation singularly
blessed and favoured in this respect. Mr.
DISRAELI is not prone to indulge in these
Utopian ideas which some statesmen delight
in, and therefore it is the more encouraging
to find that he considers it very likely in the next
session of Parliament something may be done to
adapt the ancient system that has long flourished
in Scotland to the requirements of the present age.
The ceremony of conferring the degree of Doctor
of Laws on the Chancellor of the Exchequer and
the Right Hon. R. LOWE took place. After de-
claring that an expression of confidence from so
distinguished a body as that before him, and one
so " connected with the sacred cause of learning,
science, and philosophy," was deeply gratifying,
he concluded by stating that he should be very
happy to see in the next session of Parliament the
representative of the University of Edinburgh.
There is great truth in the right hon. gentleman's
declaration on behalf of his party that it had always
desired to see the " great seats of learning and
philosophy raise their luminous and lettered points
in the Parliament of this country," for the Con-
servatives have always honoured learning, and
sought to render due homage to its votaries. Mr.
LOWE created considerable amusement by remark-
ing that the right hon. gentleman had left him little
to do except that which he feared he was not in the
habit of doing, namely, toagree with him in everything
he had said. The right hon. gentleman contrived,
however, to make some interesting remarks, and,
among other things, said that of all the honours
reaped by the Scotch Universities nothing was
more ennobling than this, while "they offer an
admirable education to the children of the rich,
they offer an education equally suitable and equally
admirable to the children of the poor."
The eventful day was crowned by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer proceeding to the Music-hall to
receive a complimentary address from the working
men. There could have been no exaggeration in
Mr. DISRAELI'S opening remarks that had he con-
sulted his personal convenience he would not
have appeared on that occasion. He felt, how-
ever, that he could not refuse to accede
to the very cordial request that had been made to
him ; and while he was able to say that no man
living could more heartily concur with their con-
gratlllitions upon hill that had just passed into
law, he could not take himself all the merit of that
happy occurrence. It is worthy of remark that
while the Liberals arc for ever disputing about their
rival claims to precedence, the Conservatives seem
to be eager to yield the palm to each other.
Mr. DISRAELI declares that he served under
a Prime Minister " who is the leading-spirit
of the Cabinet, between whom and him-
self there is perfect and entire sympathy ;
and he was supported by colleagues who entirely
agreed with him." He paid a well-deserved tribute
to his party, which evinced a devotion and energy
" scarcely to be equalled in the history of the con-
stitution of any country." The high feeling of the
present House of Commons was also handsomely
acknowledged by its leader. Perhaps some persons
may profit by the confession which Mr. DISRAELI
makes of the nature of " the black devices" he re-
sorted to to gain his ends and further his objects.
" Upon every question I took my own party
into confidence, and when I had to appeal
to an independent Opposition I remembered
at all times that they were men of sense and gentle-
men." This doubtless explains a good deal, and a
statesman or minister can never hope to succeed in
his dealings with others if he does not think more
of their feelings than of his own sentiments. In
taking a retrospective glance at his parliamentary
career, now of more than thirty years' duration,
Mr. DISRAELI was happy in being able to affirm
that he could find no part of it which showed that
he had taken a part against the interests of the
working classes. He has supported every one of the
Acts that has been passed for the amelioration of the
condition of the working men. Those who
have been intimately acquainted with the right hon.
gentleman's public life will know that this is strictly
true, and that before he took so prominent a part
in the councils of the nation and the proceedings of
the Legislature he devoted his time and his talents
to the cause of the poor, and in one of his most
brilliant works depicted many of the glaring evils
that disgraced our civilisation.
In nothing has Mr. DISRAELI been more consis-
tent than in his advocacy of the advantages of the
press, and he very properly introduced that sub-
ject in alluding to the depreciatory remarks made
by those who put other countries before ours in
an educational point of view. " I remember," said
he, " with pride and consolation that England alone
is the country in which a free press practically and
really exists." As to the working of the Reform
Bill, the right bon. gentleman concluded his im-
pressive address by giving his hearers some sound
advice, which, if they follow, will prove that he was
their friend and best adviser and counsellor. Ile
besought them when they gained their political
privileges to exercise them in a manner worthy
of patriotic and intelligent men. " Disappoint all
the forebodings of your false friends and foes, do
not listen to those who tell you that you have been
invested with democratic rights, and therefore you
must effect great changes in the fortunes and con-
ditions of one of the most considerable nations and
Governments that ever existed. Be proud of the
confidence which the constituted authorities of the
country have reposed in you. Show that you are
about to be invested with popular privileges ; that
you know the value of popular privileges ; and
that you will exercise them to maintain the in-
stitutions of your country, and to increase its
power, its glory, and its fame."

The close of the Paris Exhibition, which was to
have been simultaneous with the last days of Oc-
tober, is to be deferred for three days. Yesterday

afternoon the Imperial Commission decided that it
should remain open until Sunday next, which will
be the day of closing, a decision to which the
foreign commissioners promptly agreed, making
only the graceful stipulation that the reecipts of
those days should be distributed among the poor of
Paris. This will form a welcome and appropriate
conclusion to the Imperial display, and since the
last days of any exhibition are uoually the most
thronged with visitors who are eager to seize the
opportunity, the amount thus benevolently disposed
of will probably be of considerable amount. More
especially will it. be welcome to the poor of Paris at
the approach of the winter months, and at the close
of a season in which, notwithstanding the vast in-
flux of visitors and consequent gaiety, the high
prices of the necessaries of life have told heavily on
slender purses. The price of bread, which, as we
know, is the most important staple of the lower
classes among the French peasantry, has been for
some time past a serious grievance, and there is un-
hrppily not much hope of a speedy improvement.
The proposal of the Foreign Commissioners is,
moreover, a graceful act of international courtesy,
and manifests that kindly sympathy towards the
suffering classes of another country which betokens
a real entente cordiale. Sunday being the regular
day for sight-seeing in Paris, the numbers who
witness the close of the Great Exhibition will pro-
bably be very large. Last Sunday the visitors were
estimated at no less than 150,000. Many of these
had free tickets and belonged to the working classes.
Tuesday was the day for the children, and thou-
sands of eager little faces were visible. All accounts
agree that as the brilliant spectacle approaches its
end the throngs of visitors increase. Indeed, the
Exhibition, it is said, has been so full that it has
been difficult to move about.

Not the least important of its functions has been
its office of educator to the working classes. French
artisans, as a rule, have no lack of taste in their
workmanship, but for that very reason they may be
better able to appreciate and to profit by the gor-
geous variety of the Exhibition. Thanks to the
kind and considerate exertions of geuine well-
wishers to the working classes, mechanics and
artisans from other countries have been able to
inspect the Exhibition. The great advantage of
this is that they can understand the full force of
that universal competition which nowadays exer-
cises so potent an influence over the action of trade
and commerce. No words, however forcible, no
delineations, however able, could so forcibly im-
press on the minds of the English work-
man the rapid progress of his Continental
rivals in every industrial art " as a single
visit to the Paris Exhibition. Our Paris
correspondent in yesterday's impression comments
upon the difference perceptible in the French and
English departments. "England," he says, " has
shown great advance in art, taste, and industry,
but as a spectacle the English department is dull
and flat compared n ith the French." " The Exhi-
bition of Aubusson," he adds, " forms a fairy palace
with which the Palace of Aladdin could not bear
comparison." The strong points of English work-
manship lie in other directions, and there is little
fear but that they can hold their position against
all competitors if they but exert themselves to do it.
The Paris Exhibition, it is to be hoped, will d'sabuse
them of the notion that they can retain their position
without exertion, and if it gives a fresh stimulus
to their energy, their industry, and their ambition,
it will have done good service to England as well
as to France.

The news from Italy, though eagerly looked for,
is as yet in no way decisive. The Monitcur of yes-
terday announces that the French fleet arrived at
Civita Vecchia on the 28th, at which date Rome
Tras tranquil. (141111BALD1 WitS within a few miles
of the city on.the 29th, but the rumour that the
Italian troops would cross the Papal frontier on
that night is now declared to have been premature.
GARIBALDI'S answer to the request of the Italian
Government that he should lay down his arms is
expected this day, though it can hardly be hoped
that he will listen to the voice of prudence and obey
the call. llis outposts on the 29th were little
more than three miles from Rome, and ho will
be reluctant to abandon his enterprise at the very
crisis. At Florence up to the latest date all was
quiet, and the demonstrations made at Turin and
Naples have, according to the AI oniteur, been re-
pressed without any disturbance. Precautions have
been taken at Rome, and all remains in suspense.
The situation is a critical one for the peace of
Europe, and it would be well if those who occupy
the posts of leaders would pause and consider what
the consequences of rash and reckless action are
likely to be to Continental freedom. The old fable
of the shadow and the substance is likely to
be realised ; not that the Continental nations are
aspopular rights,
but yetthat viniolefnutllaupdosrseeascsitoionnaroyf changes will im-
peril all they have won. Italy at least has little
reason to be dissatisfied with the progress of the
last ten years, but who can foretell her position ten
years hence should zeal without discretion bring
upon her all the evils of foreign interveption, and
make her once more " a geographical expression"
instead of a hopeful and prosperous reality.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, Wednesday Evening.
There is still a great interruption in the com-
munications from Rome, which gives full swing to
the inventors of news. Garibaldi, we are told, is
under the walls of Rome. Nothing further is
known in reference to the alleged continuation of
the struggle at Monte Rotondo, although the report
is that it was retaken by the insurgents. Some
doubt is now thrown upon the report of the death of
the Deputy Acerbi. The Garibaldian chiefs killed
were Messrs. Fra,nchio and Salviati. One of the
accounts says that Menotti Garibaldi was at Scad-
riglia. When Garibaldi was at Florence with his
volunteer's he made a speech to them, in which he
said plainly that they were marching to death, and
told those who were afraid of it to leave the ranks.
He also said it would be better for those to retire
who could not support hunger, thirst, long marches,
and fatigues of all sorts. In pursuance of this
speech a few young men, not strong enough to bear
arms, were, by order of Garibaldi, sent home by
the chiefs.

The grand banquet of sovereigns on Monday
evening at the Hotel de Ville went off with great
eclat and satisfaction to all. Besides the Emperor
of Austria there were present the Queen of Hol-
land and King Louis I. of Bavaria. The place de
Motel de Ville Was magnificently illuminated.
The Emperor Napoleon and the Empress arrived
with their Royal guests shortly before seven, and
were received by the Prefect of the Seine and the
municipal authorities. The scene was gorgeous in
the extreme, but it has been often described. The
Emperor of Austria was dressed in splendid Hun-
garian uniform, scarlet embroidered with gold, with
the white dolman. His brothers wore the same
uniform as at the review. The table of honour for
the Royal party was resplendent in the extreme,
and, of course, it was ornamented with the magni-
ficent and unparalleled surtout de table, or table
ornament, manufactured by the house of Messrs.
Christofle & Co. With the King of Bavaria, Queen
of Holland, and the Emperor Napoleon were several
Ambassadors, the Duchess of Hamilton, and Prin-
cess Metternich. At another table were the Em-
press, the Emperor of Austria, Princess Mathilda,
and several other members of the Bonaparte family.

At dessert the Emperor Napoleon proposed the
health of the Emperor of Austria, which was duly
honoured. A calculation has been made that the
number of plates used was 7,352. There were
2,481 glasses. To eat the magnificent viands and
delicacies prepared 5,000 knives and forks were
used. Upon the whole there never was a more
magnificent banquet even at the Hotel do Ville, so
celebrated for magnificent dinners and splendid
balls.

When the Emperor of Austria was at the Exhi-
bition, and the crowd pressed around him, a little
girl of five years, whose mother held her in her
arms, and who could not see anything as so many
persons mere before her, cried out, " I want to see
the Emperor." The Emperor saw and heard her,
and passing through the crowd, which respectfully
made way, he took the child in his arms and
kissed her on both cheeks. There being a sweet-
meat stand close by, the Emperor went in and
selected a magnificent bag of bons-bons, which he
placed in the little child's hands, who gave it to her
mother. The Emperor bowed graciously to her and
the child was delighted. All the spectators of the
scene cheered with enthusiasm, and the child throw-
ing her arms round her mother's neck said, "Oh !
mother, the Emperor kissed me."

The following are the exact terms of the speech
of the Emperor of Austria,, in returning thanks for
the toast to his health by the Emperor Napoleon,
at the Hotel de Ville :

" Sire,—l am very grateful for the toast which
your Majesty has just proposed. When a few days
ago I visited the tomb of my ancestors at Nancy, I
could not help forming a wish. May we, I said to
myself, bury in this tomb, confided to the care of a
generous nation, all the discords which have sepa-
rated two countries destined to proceed together in
the route of progress and civilisation. (Repeated
applause.) May we by our union offer a fresh
guarantee of that peace without which nations can-
not prosper. (Bravo, bravo ! Vive l'Empereur.)
I thank the city of Paris for the reception it has
given to me, for in our days the relations of friend-
ship and goodwill between Sovereigns have a double
value, as they are based upon the sympathies and
the aspirations of the people." The Emperor of
Austria then proposed the toast of " The Emperor,
Empress, and the Prince Imperial. To France.
To the city of Paris." Applause which seemed to
shake the building followed this toast.
The Emperor of Austria has expressed his ex-
treme satisfaction with his visit to Paris. His
Majesty intended to leave to-morrow, but he has
announced to his suite that he means to prolong
his stay until Monday next. His Majesty goes
about everywhere, sometimes to the theatre. On
Monday he walked about the Champs Elysees.
To-day, I believe, he is gone to Compiegne. His
Majesty has paid a visit to the Halle, where the
banquet of which I made mention was presented to
him.

it is announced officially that the French fleet
arrived on Monday evening at Civita Vecchia. All
was quiet at Rome at that period ; but Garibaldi
was at a distance of only a few miles from the city.
The telegraphic communications were still inter-
rupted.

There has been a Cabinet Council to-day at St.
Cloud, at which the Emperor presided.
The Queen of Holland left Paris last night on her
return home by way of Heidelberg.
To-day the weather has been magnificent, more
like summer than advanced autumn.

The Exhibition has been a scene of joyous excite-
ment, so full that locomotion was a matter of diffi-
culty.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

In The Sun of yesterday allusion was made to the
planting of trees and shrubs in the camp at Alder-
shot, and to the good effect which might be ex-
pected to result from the experiment. In the Camp
Divisional Orders issued yesterday the following
paragraph in relation to the same subject, and to
damage recently sustained in the camp, was pro-
mulgated The Lieut.-General regrets to find
that much mischief is done in the Camp by the
children of soldiers who are constantly swinging on
the rails of the plantations and injuring the young
trees which have been planted for the use and orna-
ment of the Camp. A serious loss also has occurred
from children using lucifer matches as playthings,
thereby endangering the lives and property of all
who live in camp. The Lieut.-General will hold the
parents of children responsible for their conduct,
and, should he have reason to find fault again, those
who disobey these orders will be removed from
quarters in camp or barracks."
Brevet Major Edmondstoune, 32d Light Infantry,
is under orders to proceed to Landguard Fort, Har-
wich, to-morrow, to assume the command of the
troops of that station, vice Major Cowell, Bth Depot
Battalion, who returns to Colchester.
Her Majesty's Indian troopskip Serapis arrived at
Alexandria on the morning of the 29th inst., with
the 4th Hussars, batteries of the Royal Artillery,
and draughts of various regiments, to be conveyed
to Bombay from Suez in the Jumna.
The general court martial which recently assembled
at Chatham garrison, under the presidency of Col.
R. 11. Crofton, commanding the Royal Artillery in
the Chatham district, for the trial of Sapper William
Thompson, Royal Engineers, was dissolved yester-
day, the proceedings and finding of the court having
been submitted to her Majesty for approval. The
prisoner was tried for having been guilty of grossly
insubordinate conduct on the occasion of the sen-
tence passed on him by a previous court martial by
which he had been tried being promulgated to the
officers and men of the Royal Engineers. On the
occasion referred to the prisoner made use of dis-
gusting language, and threatened also Capt. and
Adjt. F. A. Marindin with bodily injury. The pri-
soner is altogether a man of the most depraved
character, and since the short time he has been in
the service has been tried 3 times by court martial.
The general court martial found the prisoner guilty,
and in consideration of his former bad character
sentenced him to be branded with the letters " 8.C.,"
to be imprisoned and kept at hard labour for two
years, such imprisonment to commence on the com-
pletion of the term to which he had formerly been
sentenced, and to be dismissed from her Majesty's
service with ignominy.
Yesterday Major-Gen. F. Murray, commanding
the Chatham district, attended by Brigade-Major
W. W. Lynch, 2d Royals, proceeded from head
quarters on a tour of inspection of the troops
quartered in the Isle of Grain, together with the
engineering works for the better defence of the
Thames and Medway, completed and in progress.
The troops stationed at the Isle of Grain consist of
7th company of Royal Engineers and a detachment
of infantry of the 3d Depot Battalion, the whole
under the command of Capt. E. F. S. Lloyd, Royal
Engineers. After inspecting the officers and troops,
who were drawn up on the parade-ground near
their casemated quarters, Gen. Murray went over
the bat rack-rooms and various establishments, after
which he inspected the books, accounts, and official
records, subsequently visiting and inspecting the
works connected with the defences which are. now
being carried on by the sappers and miners of the
Royal Engineers, the inspection occupying until
late yesterday afternoon. The company of Royal
Engineers now doing duty at the isle of Grain will
shortly return to headquarters, iu consequence of
the prevalence of marsh fever at the station.
'The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Commander John B. Bar-
nett to the Indus ; 'Commander R. P. Dennistoun
to be inspecting commander of the Coastguard at
Bangor, vice Fitzmaurice, deceased ; Lieut. C. S.
Shuckburg to the Urgent ; Lieut. Alexander P.

THE ROMAN QUESTION.

PARIS, Oct. 31.

The Illoniteur of this morning announces that,
in consequence of the interruption in the Pontifical
telegraph lines, no intelligence has been to-day re-
ceived from Rome subsequent to that of yesterday.
It was known only that the Papal garrisons
of Viterbo and other towns were concentrating
upon Rome to aid in its defence, it being threatened
by Garibaldi.

The same journal says :—" Certain papers con-
clude from the proclamation of King Victor
Emmanuel that the settlement of the Roman ques-
tion would be arranged between France and Italy.
The French circular, however, of the 25th October
cannot leave any doubts as to the intention of the
Government to submit to the examination of all
the great Powers a question which interests entire
Europe."

FLORENCE, Oct. 30 (Evening).

The Official Gazette of this evening says :
" The French Moniteur having announced that the
French flag waves upon the walls of Civita Vecchia,
the Government of the King, in conformity with
the declarations made by it previously to friendly
Powers, in view of such an eventuality, has given
the order to the Royal troops to cross the frontier
and occupy some points of the Pontifical territory."
The Gazetta di Fereiriza says :—" This morning
at eleven the King ordered the Italian forces to
cross the Papal frontiers. The troops are now
advancing upon Civita Castellano, Orte, Acqua-
pendente, and Frosenoue."

THE TAILORS' STRIKE.

A few weeks ago we announced that this agitation,
which during the summer induced so much loss to
masters and misery to employed, had concluded by
the unconditional submission of the operatives.
There are some details in connexion with the move-
ment which may be interesting at the present time,
when the whole nation is narrowly watching the
attitudes of trades' union societies. The number
of houses in which the strike prevailed was, it may
be remembered, about 90, and the number of men
who took part in it about 2,800. Most of these
were skilled workmen from west-end houses, and
the sacrifice they made in vindication of a mis-
taken principle may be estimated when we state
that they remained out of employment fully six
months—that is to say, from April to October.
The average receipts per week of each of these
men during that period of the year may be taken at
about £2, so that, making allowance for the " scale"
to which each man on strike was entitled during
the continuance of the agitation, the loss to the
operatives who took part in the movement must
have been something like £70,000 (on the men's
own showing it was more), or about £25 per head.
For this the only return they have obtained is a
loss of confidence in the trade and final and decided
defeat. At the beginning of October about 200 of
those who had struck returned to the shops in
which they had been formerly employed, 200 found
work in the co-operative establishments instituted
by the men, while a similar number availed them-
selves of the scheme of emigration which had been
devised for improving the labour market at
home. . The shops in which the strike did not
prevail gavo work to 500 more, so that about 1,000
remained out of employment at the beginning of the
present month. Still more recently the difficulties
which presented themselves in the way of continu-
ing the movement—the impossibility of carrying it
on with any efficacious result without picketing, and
the decided violation of the law which would be
committed by the continuance of that system—in-
duced the committee of the operatives' association
to recommend the men on strike to surrender on the
terms which the masters would propose, one condi-
tion, however, being reserved, namely, that the
operatives should not be compelled to leave the union
before resuming work. The masters, with judicious
forbearance, took back the men without demanding
any such concession. The extraordinary levies made
on the trade during the strike have been reduced by
order of the committee to the normal payment of 6d.
per head per week, and the annual meeting of the
association will be held in November, when the
balance-sheet kept during the strike will then be
submitted to the society. A scheme will also be
presented for the consolidation of the operative
tailors throughout the kingdom into ono amalga-
mated association. With a view to this result a
series of public meetings aro being held in various
districts of the metropolis for the formation of dis-
trict branches of the operatives' society. The men
contend with, a pertinacity which is only equalled
by the fallacy of their argumentation, that they
have won a victory, though they are not
able to pursue it further. They admit, however,
that the Loudon masters are the most liberal in Eng-
land, and they allege that the strike was undertaken,
not through any vindictive feeling, but for the main-
tenance of a principle.
