LONDON, 5..1.7V/WAY, 1G V. 10, 1866.

Lord Mayor's-day is always welcome to the citi-
zens of London, and to others besides, for it breaks
through the monotony of this dull season of the
year, and affords some interest and excitement.
Last night the chief event of the even-
ing's entertainment was, of course, the speech of
Lord DERBY, and the 'noble earl did not disappoint
his hearers. Perhaps few of his predecessors of late
years have had a more difficult task than the noble
lord who has so lately become Premier ; but he ac-
quitted himself of the duty with success, and we
should think his speech would afford satisfaction to
men of all shades of opinion who rank the interests
of their country above the mere end of failure or of
party triumph. The Lord Mayor, in proposing the
toast of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, gave a brief but
impressive description of the feelings and sentiments
with which they welcomed those who were entrusted
with the responsible task of conducting her MAJESTY'S
• Government. He said that they always 'welcomed
the Ministers with cordiality, whatever might be their
politics, and, alluding to the spirit which animated
them, observed, " We admire the patriotism which
prompts men of the higheststanding in the country of
the fairest powers of mind, of refined taste and mag-
nificent fortunes, to forego their ease and the gratifi-
cation of those powers and tastes, and for love of
country to dedicate all to its service."• With the
frankness which always distinguishes him Lord
DERBY expressed himself, on the part of himself and
of his colleagues, much gratified "at the more than
cordial reception that the toast had received, but
added that they did not regard the fact as au indi-
cation of political significance. They understood

that the manner in which they were received was
the generous expression of English feeling, which
always desires to cheer and encourage those who, in
what they believe to be the interests of the country,
take upon themselves onerous and laborious duties,
and endeavour to fulfil those duties to the best of
their ability." The noble earl drew an interesting

parallel concerning the functions of the Lord Mayor
and the Government, both having just entered on a
new career of office, and both feeling that in the dis-
charge of their arduous duties they must seek for

their best support in the " confidence and goodwill

of their fellow-countrymen."
No one can be surprised that the noble lord re-
frained from giving any explanation of the

intentions of Ler MAJESTY' S Ministers re-

garding the details of their future policy, but
in taking a general survey of things he
had to touch upon many calamitous events, all

more or less crowded into this year, and forming
as glaring a retrosptct as any public man could

dwell upon. In some respects, however, the clouds
seem to have dispersed, or to be in a fair way of
dispersing, and the noble lord was able to con-
gratulate his hearers that in spite of the " mone-
tary pressure which had brought ruin on some

and distress on many, the public credit was un-

mpaired, and the revenue maintained itself, and
,he commerce of the country was never on a

better foundation and more sound and healthy.

As for public events, two wars have been con-
cluded which partake of that most distressing cha-
racteristic—civil war. The great Republic across
the Atlantic, it is true, still suffers greatly from the

effects of the prolonged struggle, but Lord DERBY

entertains the hope that the Government of this
country and that of America will act in such a spirit

of forbearance that the awkward subjects of conten-

tion, created by the war, may be settled in a satis-

'actory way, and not only remove all " remnants of

bitterness, but place on a better foundation than
ever our relations with that great country to
which we are bound by so many ties of in
terest and regard." Respecting the merits and
results of the war in Germany Lord DERBY was
silent ; but, as for Austria and Italy, he expressed
a hope that, since by the cession of Venetia a burden
was taken off one, and a province long desired was
given to the other, that they might derive mutual ad-
vantages ; and to Italy especially he gave excellent
advice, when he said that, fearing no foreign foe,
she should now devote herself to the development
of her resources and interests. It is indeed in this
brighter future opening for Italy that we of this
country can see the only cheering prospect of the
late continental war, and the only chance of any
satisfactory reminiscences hereafter appertaining

to it. The noble Earl then turned to consider
our achievements, and while admitting that we had
no military glories to boast of, he declared with truth
that peace had its triumphs as well as war, and in
the course of this year we could point to a triumph
of more gain to the human race, and more to the
credit of our country, than any war, however suc-
cessful. " I allude to that great triumph which has
been achieved by British science, by British skill,
by British perseverance, and British energy, by
which we have maintained our claim to exercise
dominion over the sea, and combined in intimate
and enduring bonds the great continent of Europe
and America, between which we have succeeded in
annihilating time and space." The Atlantic Cable
is indeed a trophy to boast of, and the more so as it
is entirely due to the energy and enterprise of our
own countrymen.

The noble earl made an amusing allusion to the lau-
rels the volunteers had reaped this year, and their great
achievement in occupying the capital of Belgium ;
and, putting aside diplomatic prudence, Lord DERBY
announced that next year they thought of invading
the capital of France. We may all concur in the
opinion of the noble lord that it will be well if these
and similar invasions are all that Europe will be des-
tined to see for many years to come, and which, by
exciting sentiments of mutual respect and esteem,
are a " better security than anything which kings
can offer or statesmen desire for the general peace
of the world—so happily expressed in the words
' Peace on earth, and goodwill to men.' " In con-
cluding his interesting speech, Lord DERBY said
that he would not continue the parallel he drew at
first since in speaking of the Lord Mayor's
predecessor ; he did not think it would be expe-
dient to dilate on the merits of those
who had been the predecessors of her
MAJESTY'S Ministers. Referring to the present
worthy occupantP of the civic chair, Lord DERBY
expressed his confident expectation that when the
time arrived when he must relinquish his high posi-
tion he would not have disappointed the expecta-
tions formed of him. " 1 don't mean to suggest
any comparison between the period of your tenure
of office and ours, but when you have to say to
your fellow citizens nalete, you may add with con-
fidence et plaudite." We think we may go further
than the noble Premier, and venture to predict that
when he and his colleagues retire from office, be the
term of their tenure long or short, they will be
followed by the respect of all and the admiration of
many ; and the speech lcivic banquet affords usa

the best interests of the country are safe in their
hands, and that they will act in a spirit worthy of
those who conduct the affairs of this great com-
munity. Mr. DISRAELI, who was very well received,
made some interesting remarks, chiefly relating to
the connection between the City of London and
the House of Commons, for which he returned

trial of the Baltimore Police Commissioners con-
tinues, and no doubt is entertained that the Gover-
nor will remove the Commission. The fervour of the
Radicals is considerably modified, and whether they
found the facts of the ease to be really too strong for
them, or whether they were averse to be drawn into
an open conflict on a purely local question, they
have retreated from the extravagant and untenable
position which they previously took up. The coun-
sel for the Commissioners, who at first, it will be
remembered, denied the Governor's right of juris-
diction in Coto, have now pleaded not guilty. The
determination of the central authority to support
the local power has no doubt carrie 1 weight, and
the Radical leaders are probably to.: shrewd to be.

come involved in a revolt against the Govern-
ment, in which they would be clearly on the
wrong side. The great question of the
Constitutional Amendment is still being actively
discussed. The Governor of South Carolina has
refused to recommend his Legislature to adopt it.
In this he is wise, since it is not very likely that,
while the direction of affairs is entirely in Radical
hands, South Carolina will be admitted on any
terms at all, and therefore it would be a useless
sacrifice to lower her flag. It should always be
remembered, while considering this question, that
the Southerners have no guarantee whatever for the
admission of their representatives upon their ac-
ceptance of the Amendment. The terms of the bill
adopted by Congress are, that if the Southern States
accept the Amendment the question of their admission
to Congress shall be made the subject of future
consideration. This is a very vague promise, and
when we remember that the Amendment disfran-
chises all Southerners who took any prominent part
in the Confederate war, we shall find that the
South would abandon much to gain very little. It
is calculated that the Amendment would reduce the
representation of three States, South Carolina,
Louisiana, and Mississippi, by more than one-half ;
and of four others, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, and
Arkansas, by nearly half. The exclusion of non-
voters only refers to negroes, the ingenuity of the
Radicals perceiving that all persons who did not
possess the suffrage were excluded from the basis of
representation likewise, which naturally includes
many aliens and non-voters. The statement which
was circulated a short time since to the effect that
President JOHNSON had decided to recommend the
adoption of the Amendment by the Southern Legis-
latures has been semi-officially contradicted in a
letter from Secretary BROWNING, of the Interior.
Mr.BuowNixG writes at some length, arguing against
the amendment, which, he says, would require an
army to enforce it, and pointing out the danger
which threatens civil and individual liberty from
ithe centralisation of the Government. "It is im-
possible," he says, " to preserve our wise and happy
form of government without preserving the inde-
pendence and sovereignty of the States within their
appropriate and constitutional spheres ;" and he
contends that with so domineering a Legislature as
the present the whole structure of the government
would be revolutionised by the addition of
such enormous power to Congress. With
regard to its effect upon the South, he says,
"No such sweeping and indiscriminate proscrip-
tion is remembered since the days_of PHILIP 11.
of Spain." The Radical speakers and writers have
generally endeavoured to give the amendment the
appearance of a fair and liberal measure ; but it will
not take long for unprejudiced persons to arrive at
an accurate understanding of the case, though un-
fortunately it may be too late for popular convic-
tions to influence the elections.
The Fenian element is still troublesome. The
condemnation of Colonel LYNCH and the Rev. Mr.
INPMAnox has excited the wildest indignation
among the Fenians of the States. Mr. SEW ARD has
thought it advisable to address Sir FREDERICK
BRUCE on the subject, asking for a delay
in the execution of the sentence, and re-
minding the British Minister that clemency to-
wards political offenders was always wise and poli-
tic. He makes these suggestions freely, he says,
because all European Governments had proposed
the same opinions to the Federal Government dur-
ing the rebellion. Sir F. BRUCE might, if he liked,
ask in return why such principles were not acted
upon with regard to JEFFERSON DAVIS ! It is
likely enough that the Fenian prisoners may escape
their deserts, but we hope that the lesson will not
be without profit to their fellows.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

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

The illoniteur announces in its official part that
the Emperor has received at St. Cloud the letter by
which his Excellency General Cabral intimates his
election as President of the Dominican Republic.
A despatch from Venice announces that the King
of Italy on his entrance into that city on Wednes-
day was received with indescribable enthusiasm. The
crowd was so immense upon the Place St. Marc that
it was impossible for the troops and the National
Guard to defile.

The Saxon Government has just paid into the
Prussian Treasury five millions of dollars of the ten
millions which it contracted to pay by the stipula-
tions of the Treaty of Peace. Saxony has only four
millions now to pay, Prussia having purchased for
one million a Saxon railway, which belonged to the
State. General de Bonin, appointed by the King
of Prussia Governor of Dresden and Commander-
in-Chief of all the Saxon and Prussian troops in
Saxony, has just taken possession of his post.

In the account of the formal surrender of Venetia
by France to the King of Italy it is mentioned that
the iron crown of Lombardy was also given up to
his Majesty. When the first Napoleon conquered
Italy he took possession of that crown. In the
" Victories et Conques," under the head of 1805,
the following account of it is given :
" Napoleon I. made his entrance into Milan on the
Bth of May. The crown of iron formerly worn by
the Kings of Lombardy had been carefully preserved
in the Museum of Monza. It had not been taken
out since the coronation of Charles V. On
the occasion of its being required by Napo-
leon it was taken from the Museum with
great pomp and ceremony, and placed in the Basilisk
of Milan. Napoleon, taking it from the altar, put
it himself on his head, pronouncing these words,
which have served as the device for the Order of the
Crown of Iron,which he instituted on the occasion :
—" God gives it to me. Let him beware who
touches it." Francis I. and Ferdinand 1., Emperors
of Austria, were each successively crowned with it,
in their quality of Sovereigns of Lombardy. In
1859, at the approach of the Franco-Italian army,
the Austrians carried away this crown, which was

of France has undergone various modifications. It
was at the coronation of Francis I. that the present
shape of the crown of France was adopted. The
crown of iron, symbol of Italian unity, is, in fact, of
pure gold, with a thin circle of iron inside, as I

nine lines of railway are now open

Riazan line, the Moscow and Jaroslaw line, and
the Odessa and Balta line. Several other lines are
in course of construction.
Another artful trick, which may be termed the
diving dodge, has been attempted in Paris, but the
clever artist was unsuccessful. A fellow paraded
along the Seine in such a singular and melancholy
manner as to attract the attention of passers-by.
All of a sudden he jumped into the river, but, as he
intended, he had been watched by some boatmen,
who soon safely extricated him. When they

They also refused the reward to which they were
entitled, and said they would not, either directly or

indirectly, become the accomplices of a swindler.
He is still in the hands of the police, and will be
punished as a man who is too clever by half.
At the last meeting of the Academy of Science,
Marshal Valliant announced that Marshal Bazaine
had sent to the Minister of War an aerolite found
in Mexico, weighing 870 kilogrammes, which, he
said, would excite great interest in the scientific
world. The Minister of War has presented it to
the learned academicians, who destine it for the
Great Exhibition.
The Siecle comments thus upon the enthusiasm
displayed at the entry of Victor Emmanuel into
Venice :—" This triumphal entry was such as might
have been foreseen after so many efforts, after so
many vain aspirations, after so many sufferings
supported so patiently. Italian unity has been ac-
complished. Despotism is succeeded by a Consti-
tutional reign, and the enfranchised populations,
after having given their adhesion by an almost
unanimous vote, confirm it by enthusiastic cries.
Full of confidence in the future, Italy forgets or
distains the obstacles which she may yet have to
encounter."
The A venir Commercial, a paper which distin-
guished itself by its advocacy of free trade and its
opposition to all kinds of monopoly, has been com-
pelled to cease its publication for want of the support
which it deserved. The editor, M. Bernard, in his
farewell address, predicts the speedy abolition of all
existing monopolies, and regrets his inability to
struggle any longer in aid of that consummation.
The lizvalide Busse of the 3d November contains
a manifesto having for object a considerable increase
of the Russian army. It speaks of the necessity of
reinforcing it by the addition of 300,000 young

soldiers.
The Gazette of Vienna also contains an article in
approval of some arrangements adopted by the
Minister of 'War for the increase of the Austrian
army.

Two of the persons wounded by the soldiers at
the wine-shop at Lavallois Pernet, M. Vitte and M.
Boramier, have died at the hospital Beaujon from
their wounds. M. Renault, another person who was
wounded by them, is in great danger. Madame
Vitte will never recover the use of the arm which
one of the soldiers cut with his sword.
The Cour de Cassation of Brussels has given a
decision of great interest to dramatic authors.
Messrs. flalevy and Meilhac, authors of the " Belle
Helene," forbade the representation of that piece
at Brussels without previous permission. The direc-
tors of the Brussels theatre paid no attention to the
interdiction, contending that the treaty between
France and Belgium relative to literary property
gave them the right of representing any plays
written in France upon payment of a certain sum
to the agent of the Society of Parisian Dramatic
Authors. The Cour de Bruxelles took this view of
the question. Messrs. Halevy and Meilhac appealed
against this decision to the Brussels Court of Cassa-
tion, but the latter court has just confirmed the de-
cision of the Cour de Bruxelles.
A small new planet has been discovered by M.
Stephens, of the Observatory of Marseilles. Thus
the number of small planets is now 91. No account
of this planet has been yet given by the authorities
of the Paris Observatory.
A young girl of 14 has just been arrested at
Chateauvoux, on the charge of murdering her sister,
an infant a year and a half old. The mother re-
cently died, and the father being compelled to go
out to his daily work entrusted the infant to her
elder sister. The prisoner says that she murdered
the child because she did not want to be "bothered"
with the trouble of taking care of it.

Proposed Extension of Victoria-park.

Yesterday a deputation, consisting of Mr. John

Holms, Dr. H. Black, Messrs. John P. G. Gow-
land (churchwarden of Hackney), Mark Coles, G.
Dornbusch, Crompton, and Marshall, waited upon
Lord John Manners, on behalf of a society lately
formed for the preservation and extension of Vic-
toria-park. The deputation was introduced by Mr.
Plummer.

Mr. JOHN lIOLMS stated that the deputation
sought to obtain his lordship's assistance in the pre-
servation of Victoria-park, by preventing the fur-
ther erection of buildings on the north side, and by
favouring the extension of the park by adding it to
the Hackney-marshes, of 315 acres, the downs of
50 acres, the common of 30 acres, and London-
fields of 27 acres, which make, with the present area
of Victoria-park (220 acres), a spacious park area
of 672 acres. The West-end parks, including
Kensington-gardens and Battersea-park, amount
to 1,500 acres, which gives 500 acres of park to
every 766,000 inhabitants—so that the proposals of
the deputation would only place the inhabitants of
the East-end on a par with those of the West-
end. In the East-end there is a great deal of
fresh air and open spaces, owing to the vast
population there being
,choked with poisonous or
polluting factories. As the old antagonists of the
Victoria-park—the gas companies—were moving
again, the people of the Tower-Hamlets, who were
grateful to his lordship for his former support, ap-
pealed to the Government, through him, not to permit
the occupation of ground of so much importance to
the public health. The overseer of Hackney has re-
uprern spaces
entof speculation,
being se-
curep o r eddfourp
the
the
people
before
the
hoef
co
now set in, sweeps all away. The society of which
Mr. Holm was president was preparing plans and
details of ownership of property, in order to submit
to his lordship, as the people of the Tower llam-
lets were determined to contest with the gas
companies the question of breathing places for the
population there.
Dr. BLACK explained, in answer to a question by
Lord J. Manners, that it was the intention of the
society represented by Mr. Hohns aid the deputa-
tion to promote the removal of the property lying
between the marshes and the park, and make the
whole into an enlarged park. The people of the
East-end had set their faces against any further en-
croachment of gas companies.
Mr. GOWLAND said there was money lying in the
Bank of England, produce of public land, which
might be available for park extension. The gas
companies were all-powerful, and the people feared

them, and were jealous of their parks.
Mr. M. COLES and Mr. MARSHALL corroborated
Mr. Hohns's representations as to the packed con-
dition of the population so justly seeking protection
at his lordship's hands.
Lord J. MANNERS made several very pertinent in-
quiries as to whether the deputation had matured
their own proposals. For himself, he was certainly
anxious, as far as might lie in his power, to promote
the public health and convenience of the people. It
struck him, however, that the deputation went far
beyond the preservation of Victoria-park ; they pro-
posed the erection of a new park. He did not think
the House of Commons would furnish funds for that,
but would expect metropolitan funds to provide for
any future park. Had the deputation seen the Me-
tropolitan Board? Did not the proposal before him
rather lie with that body to consider ? No gas com-
panies had been to him ; indeed were not required
to give notice to his office of their proceedings. He
should have pleasure in giving such attention as lay
within his province to any plans they might wish
to lay before him.
Mr. Hums tendered several explanations, and
having thanked his lordship for his courtesy in re-
ceiving the deputation, they withdrew.

STRIKE AT THE MANCHESTER GASWORKS.—On
Thursday the workmen employed at the gasworks in Man-
chester struck for an advance of 6d. per day in their wages.
Up to the present time their wages have been 48. 6d. per
day. They aro the servants of the corporation, who have
realised in pass times between £30,000 and £40,000 per
annum, the money going mainly to a fund for effecting
improvements in the town. It appears the workmen gave
notice for an advance, but the corporation committee of
management wished them at the time to wait till the new'
election of councillors had been made, when the committees
are usually reconstituted. The gas committee does not
seem to have taken sufficient guarantees from the men to
hold them to such an arrangement, and hence the public
have been taken by surprise, and there is a danger of the
town being thrown into darkness these dark November
days and nights. The supply of gas is being so much
economised as to oblige industrial establishments to re-
sort to the use of candles and other means of supplying
light as best they can.
