tion of Venic a there have been murmurs ever and
anon to the effect that much had been done, but
that more In '3 wanted, and that nothing would ever
satisfy the Dolians 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 real peaaee until the work was accomplished.
An answer has been given to all this in a
very summary imanner, 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 hailed with delight in many quarters, but

that is quite another thing from declaring that it
was, and must be, th ?, sine qua non of Italian pros-
perity. If GARIBALDI was not justified in his
attempt by what haTpeued at the outset of the
affair, he 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 EM-
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

and wits their families amounting to nearly 10,000,
will, by the operation of the new act, be thrown out
of employment just on the eve of winter. We have
already enough of complaints of the dullness of
trade and general slackness of employment, without
adding to our list of idle hands so formidable
an array. The costermongers have carried on their
humble trade for years, without any complaint, and
they are in fact of great service to those as poor as
themselves, who do not care to buy in shops. They
have latterly held a large meeting, at which they
agreed to a memorial asking for the postponement
of the execution of the 6th clause of the act, which
allows no goods or stalls to be kept in the highway,
And yesterday a deputation of the principal gentle-
men of Whitechapel waited upon Mr. HARDY
with it. Mr. HARDY, who fully entered into
the difficulties of the case, said that unfor-
tunately the Home Secretary had no power
to control the operation of the act, but he
thought the police might with advantage make a
distinction between the different streets in which
trades were carried on, and to carry out the clauses
with as little stringency as possible. Unfortunately
this is just one of the cases in which our policemen
like to show their authority, and we hope that
something more may be done in behalf of these poor
people at the autumnal session of Parliament.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Thursday Evening.

It appears by further information from Italy,
which may be relied upon, as it has been collected
from official sources, that the battle between the
Papal troops and the Garibaldians, near Monte
Rotondo, was even more serious and sanguinary
than first described. Garibaldi had 10,000 men
under his command, of whom 800 were killed or
wounded. They left in the hands of the Roman
troops 2,000 prisoners, 6,000 guns, and 6 cannon.
The Pontifical troops had 150 men killed or dis-
abled.

Your readers should not place any confidence in
the rumours and insinuations circulated by alarmist
journals, as to differences between the French and
Italian Cabinets. The result of the impotent
attempt of Garibaldi, and the change in the aspect
of the Roman question is such that directions have
been given by the Government to countenance the
order for the departure of the third division of the
French contingent, which was in readiness at
Toulon to leave at any moment for Civita Vecchia.
The conviction is spreading in Paris that the Roman
difficulty is at an end.
Marshal O'Donnell, Duke of Tetuan,wbo played
in his time such an important part in war and poli-
tics in Spain, died on Tuesday, at Biarritz, from
typhus fever. He was 59.
There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at St.
Cloud, under the presidency of the Emperor. The
Empress was present at the Council.
Marie Sophie, ex-Queen of Naples, has just em-
barked at Marseilles with the intention of joining
her husband, Francis the Second, who still resides at
Rome. _ _

The Paris papers to-day are remarkably " sober"
in regard to news or even inventions, that being the
orthodox expression where the quantity of news to
be imbibed is small. Failing in this they descant
upon a supposed confusion relative to the exact
name of the locality where the defeat of Garibaldi
occurred. First it was called the affair of Monte
Rotondo ; then it was described as the route of
Tivoli ; now the battle is called the combat of Mon-
tana.

The Emperor of Austria was received with as
much demonstration of affection at Wurtemburg
on his journey homewards as at Strasburg. There
was a grand dinner at the Chateau Royal, and a
gala night at the Opera. Similar demonstrations
were made at Stuttgard.
On the occasion of the recent visit of the Consul-
General and Charge d'Affaires of France at Japan
to the residence of Osaka, the Taikoun went on
board the Admiralty frigate La Guerriere, carrying
the flag of Admiral Roye. Such an act on the
part of a Sovereign of Japan, hitherto unparalleled,
was the occasion of a brilliant reception, in which
the English ships in the roads of Osaka partici-
pated.
Really Royal personages are very tardy in their
correspondence, at least if one may judge from an
official notification in the Moniteur of to-day.
Most people probably forget when King Otho of
Greece died, it is so long ago, but it appears that it
was only yesterday the Emperor Napoleon received
the letter of the King of Bavaria ratifying the fact
of King Otho's decease.
Although the splendid new opera on the Boule-
vards is in an advanced state, and its facade even
now presents a majestic appearance, it is believed
that the opening cannot take place until 1870.
Should this be so, it will be a centenary anniversary
of the opening of the opera of the Palais Royal,
which was in 1770. That building was soon after-
wards destroyed by fire.
Another murder has been committed. The crime
was committed at Lous-le-Saulnier, under the fol-
lowing cirumstances :—A young man of 25, named
Laurent Prost, in the employ of Fevelat, a tin-plate
worker, fell in love with his master's daughter, and
on asking permission to marry her was dismissed.
The murderer in a fury went the next day to M.
Fevelat and renewed his solicitation. On meeting
with another refusal he took a revolver from his
pocket and shot M. Fevelat in the chest.
Count Duchatel, formerly Minister of the Interior
under Louis Philippe, has died in Paris after a long
illness which was not supposed to be of a dangerous
character, but death took place very suddenly. The
Count was born on the 19th of February, 1803.
He was a member of the Academy of Moral and
Political Science, free member of the Academy of
Fine Arts, and had the Grand Cross of the Legion
of Honour. The Count leaves two children, Vis-
count Duchatel and the Duchess de la Tremoille.
November is in a fair way of losing its character

for gloom, fog, and suicide. The sun rose cheerily
and brilliantly, and has not been obscured for a
moment all day. The streets of Paris are as dry
and as dusty as in the height of summer, but it
has been peculiarly cold.
The work of demolition at the Exhibition pro-

ceeds with astonishing rapidity and regularity. At
this rate but a very short time will elapse when all
that was of it will be like " the baseless fabric of a

vision."

Some of the restaurateurs of Paris have lately
been victimised to a serious extent, they having
been robbed of silver forks and even silver dishes.
A man named Edmond Moulin has been sentenced
by the Police Tribunal to five years' imprisonment
and five years' surveillance by the police for such
robberies from the café restaurant of M. Bignon on
the boulevards. It is supposed that the robber has
carried on this game for seven months, during which
time M. Bignon bas lost articles of great value.
The waiter detected him. While at dinner he pre-
tended to read a newspaper, with which he covered
a silver dish, and, watching his opportunity, put
the dish in his pocket. lie played the game once
too often. Another customer dined at the same
time who bad paid his bill. The dish was handed
to him, and the accomplice made off with it. M.
Gosselin, another cafe proprietor, has lost a great
many valuable articles in the same way.

ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A GUY.—On Tuesday
morning as a "guy," supposed to represent King Theo-
dore, stopped the traffic at the corner of Gray's-inn, a coal
waggon, laden with throe tons of coals in sacks, was sud-
denly pulled up, and a poor fellow who was lying on the
top of the load was thrown off. "Unfortunately the wheel
passed over h's stomach, and when he was lifted up he was
found to be dead.

re-established at the two cities.
