LONDON, FRIDAY, NOV. 8, 1867.

The news which reached the City yesterday from
the West Indies is of a melancholy and startling
nature. It is, indeed, no new thing to hear of
terrific storms, sudden tornados, and great disasters,
both on land and sea, in consequence. COWPER,
in his impassioned appeal on behalf of the West
Indian slaves, makes marked reference to the

" Wild tornados
Strewing yonder seas with wrecks,
Wasting towns, plantations, meadows,"

and hears in them the protest of the ALMIGHTY
against the abuse of his creatures. The history of
those islands is full of the records of disaster
wrought by some of these sudden and terrible
visitants. It is not often, however, that
the catastrophe assumes the pro.portions in-
dicated by the telegratu:received yesterday morning
from Havannah by the directors of the Royal West
Indian Mail Company. The hurricane occurred at
St Thomas's on Oct. 29, and no less than four of
their steamers were wrecked in it ; two others, the
Tyne and Solent, were dismasted, but serviceable.
Fifty ships were on shore, the town in ruins, and
the loss of life is represented as terrible. Notwith-
standing these manifold disasters the company's
service will be maintained, and the Douro was to
leave for home on the 4th. By that vessel we shall
of course receive full particulars of the misfortune,
which there can be no doubt is of a very serious nature.
The loss to the West Indian Mail Company is, of
course, a very serious one. The Rhone steamer,
which was lost at Peter Island, was a first-class
steamer, with engines of 500 horse power. She was
to have started for England the very day after the
hurricane, and a report was yesterday current that
she had a large amount of specie on board, but of
this there is some doubt. The other steamers were
of lesser tonnage, and two of them are supposed to
have been laid up in St. Thomas's harbour, where
they were carried from their anchors and dashed
ashore. The Conway, one of the total wrecks, was
bringing the mails, it is thought, from the Windward
Islands. With the exception of the Rhone, all the
steamers lost were employed in the intercolonial ser-
vice. Unfortunately there is little room for hoping
that the disaster has been exaggerated, since another
telegram has been received from Lloyd's agent at
St. Thomas's confirming the accounts of fearful
destruction. Of the loss on shore we hear no par-
ticulars beyond the two mournful sentences—
" Terrible loss of life. Town in ruins." The only
consolatory item of intelligence is that the fever
which has raged so severely in this unlucky island is
over—an instance, if the tornado had any share in
its removal, of the cure being worse than the
disease. At the beginning of October last
year occurred the terrible hurricane which
swept over the Bahamas and desolated
Nassau ; but, as far as we yet know, it was less
destructive to shipping than that at St. Thomas's.
'I his island has very recently been transferred by
the Dutch to the Americans, and the latter have
assumed the direction of affairs at an unfortunate
conjuncture. Another violent typhoon is reported
from the China seas, and immense danger has, it
is said, been done to property along the shore near
Hong Kong. The Manilla steamer Malespiva is
missing, and we shall probably hear of further
disasters afloat. Science may indicate the probable
course of these storms, when once it knows their
starting point, but it does not guard against them
in any way, and we fear the wrecks and disasters
on land and shore, which we report this day from
east and west, will continue, in spite of all precau-
tions, to be ranked among the ordinary casualties
of tropical regions.

We may derive one satisfaction at least from the
recent disturbances in Italy, and that is, we have
passed through an ordeal that has long threatened
us. Ever since the war in Germany and the reatora-

time of Venice there have been murmurs ever and
anon to the effect that much had been done, but
that I nore was wanted, and that nothing would ever
satisfy the Italians but the full and complete re-
storation.. of Rome. For this purpose it was averred
that all would strive to the uttermost, and there
could be no:realpeace until the work was accomplished.
An answer has been given to all this in a
very 'lumina ry manner, and we may now conclude
that the possession of Rome is not the one thing
needful, which so many have declared it to be. We
do not mean to say by any means that it would
not be h died with delight in many quarters, but
that is quite another thing from declaring that it
was, and must be, the sine qua non of Italian pros-
perity. If GARIBALDI was not justified in his
attempt by -what happened at the outset of the
affair, lie is now doubly condemned in the eyes of
all noble-minded and far-seeing persons. Of course
there is no question of his bravery, that is the same
as ever, nor of the enthusiasm and energy displayed
by his followers, but he never succeeded in this
recent enterprise in stirring up the zeal of the
multitude, and the feeling of the people was not
with him, not, at any rate, to the extent necessary
to accomplish his purpose, or to prove the necessity
of it. It is true that French troops were in Rome,
but before they came the matter was pretty well
settled, and we have no reason to suppose that the
result would have been favourable to the Garibaldians
if no French soldier had quitted the shores of France
for Civita Vecchia and thence to Rome. It must
be remembered also that some time elapsed from
the commencement of the attempt on Rome until
the arrival of the French, and therefore if things
had been, as GARIBALDI prophesied, or persisted in
supposing, in spite of all assurances to the contrary,
in all likelihood the French EMPEROR would have
deemed it advisable to let events take their course.
It was one thing to despatch his forces to the
assistance of those molested by wandering bands of
insurgents, revolutionists, or by whatever other name
they might be called, and another to interfere with
the decisive change brought about by the expressed
desire and earnest endeavour of the nation at
large. NAPOLEON was wary, as usual; he dis-
cerned pretty plainly the turn of affairs before he
took a step that might compromise him, and the
result has as usual justified his policy. No sooner
did the French appear on the scene than the Italian
Government found a ready excuse for action, and
hence the speedy solution of the affair.
It by no means follows, however, that the work
is done because the danger of fighting is over, and
perhaps it may be affirmed that the more difficult
task still awaits the judgment of the French Est-
PEROR and the Italian KING. The best way will be
to consider what circumstances may demand, and
not to waste time in speculating who was right
and who was wrong in the outset of the
affair. If people are disposed to blame the
French EMPEROR for the somewhat haughty
style in which he has carried on affairs since the
recent outbreak, it must be admitted that he has
had great provocation with one thing and another.
The Italian Government did not keep implicitly to
their engagements, and in consequence they found
themselves in difficulties which they could not cope
with. It may fairly be said, however, that those
old things have passed away, and that we stand
now upon new ground in the matter of this Roman
question. In all this recent imbroglio there is no one
More to be pitied than VICTOR EMMANUEL. He is
in a most responsible position, and whatever he does
is sharply criticised. It is very certain, how-
ever, that the Italians are going against their own
most important interests in the opposition they
make to their KING. They should remember that
if he was driven from power or worried into ab-
dicating they would be in a very much worse posi-
tion than they are now. The French EMPEROR
would then have it all his own way in Italy, and
could easily make out that the internal dissensions
of the country rendered it necessary for him to
take the lead of affairs, and carry out things with
a strong hand. For the sake of the progress and
prosperity of Italy, we earnestly trust that the
good sense and patriotism of the Italians will
triumph over the jealous fears and angry feelings
of their momenta of excitement. They had better
all consent to let bygones be bygones, and proceed
to the consideration of their actual position. The
Emperor NAPOLEON has acted better than might
have been supposed in the last transaction. The
French have given up the prisoners taken at Mon-
tana to the Italian authorities; and we learn fur-
ther that in consequence of intelligence received
from the seat of war that the departure of another
French division from Toulon to Civita Vecchia
has been postponed. So far good, at any rate ; and,
what is more, this modification of extreme measures
affords hope for the future, as well as encourage-
ment for the present. The next thing to look for-
ward to is, that the French troops now in Rome
may withdraw to CivitaVecchia without delay ; and,
if this desideratum be accomplished, we have no fear
for the result of the subsequent negotiation that
will take place. There is no cause whatever to be-
lieve that the Emperor NAPOLEON is not the friend
of Italy; on the contrary, he has always been its sincere
well-wisher, and often rendered it invaluable assist-
ance. Why, then, should he now be styled an in-
sidious foe, and an unworthy ally? He is placed
in an awkward position with regard to his engage-
ment with the POPE, and no one has a right to
blame him for fulfilling his promises, even if in so
doing he injures his own popularity, and perhaps
does not act altogether in accordance with what he
considers the most suitable policy for the exigencies
of the present age. It may be said, then, that
the Italians in a great measure held their
fate in their own hands. Let them not rush head-
long to the goal of their fancies without regard or
scruple for the consequences, but let them learn
wisdom from the adversity that has come upon

;hem, and firmly resolve to follow the wisest and
he most praiseworthy course. The truest friend

to his country is he who ranks her interests above

his own particular inclinations, and prefers general
good to partial triumph. That Italy may emerge
from this cloud is the earnest wish of all indepen-
