THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1860.

LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPT. 7, 1866.

It must have been with great satisfaction that the
Sheffield Cutlers welcomed their member as a guest
at their " Forfeit Feast" last evening. The state
of Mr. ROEBUCK'S health has, unfortunately, pre-
vented him from taking that active part in the
political events of the year which is congenial to his
taste and his talents. The House of Commons
missed his fitting and straightforward addresses,
and the public at large had reason to regret his
silence. In the midst of the confusion of parties
and contradictions of professions by practice it
would have been satisfactory to have heard the
opinions of one who, whatever his mistakes or
indiscretions, never condescends to modify his views
to suit the clamour of the moment, or to profess
what he does not think for the sake of being on the
popular side. Mr. ROEBUCK is an old Reformer,
and it was not likely that he would pass over the
exciting events of the session in silence. lie re-
minded his hearers that, since he had met them last,
great changes had occurred. The first remarkable
event was the life and death of Lord RUSSELL'S
Administration ; the second, the Fenian con-
spiracy; the third, the Continental war. It
may be questioned whether Mr. ROEBUCK did
not do the Hibernian heroes too much honour by
mentioning them in such company, but he did not
trouble himself to take further notice of them.
Neither did he enter upon the broad area of Con-
tinental politics, though it is not difficult to guess
from his antecedents upon which side his sympa-
thies would have ranged themselves. Upon home
affairs, however, he was less reticent, though Earl
RUSSELL for one might regret that he broke silence.
Mr. ROEBUCK did not spare the late Government
his satirical comments on their collapse. " I have
no doubt," he said, " that every gentleman in this
room has seen a ship start from her port with all
her sails full, with her rigging all complete, with
her hull shining with paint, and her streamers
flying ; and they have seen, I have no doubt,
that same ship seeking a harbour of refuge,
with her tackle torn, her sails split, her hull shat-
tered, her cargo thrown overboard. That is a type
of the RUSSELL-GLADSTONE administration." Mr.
ROEBUCK'S picture of the late Government's

inauguration was, however, rather too favour-
able, since a good deal of uncertainty was
felt at the outset as to their tenure of office. They
were not carried into power by any particular merit
of their own, or by their advocacy of any popular
principle. Lord PALMERSTON'S popularity kept
the old Cabinet in office until his death,
and after that it was natural that there
would be some attempt to remodel it so that the
same party should retain office. But even without
the stumbling-block of Reform it may be doubted
whether the R USSELL Ministry would have weathered
the Session. Mr. GLADSTONE, the most popular
member of the Government, was indispensable to
his colleagues, but at the same time it was no
secret that he differed from them on many points.
The very Reform Bill on which he staked
the existence of the Cabinet was clearly not
entirely to Lis mind. It was a matter of
common remark in political circles that it
was only after he had fought on its behalf for
some time that he showed any warmth in his advo-
cacy. 'When he was at last roused from cool indif-
ference it was always on behalf of the principles of Re-
form, not on the merits of the particular measure. It
is quite as well for Mr. GLADSTONE'S reputation
that the Bill should have failed, seeing that he
would have been inseparably identified with it, and
it was not worthy of his talents or consistent with
his principles. Mr. ROEBUCK politely said that
ti Earl RUSSELL, on looking back upon the events of
the past, saw one remarkable event with which he
was connected, but only as the fly upon the wheel.
Ile believed that the Reform Bill was carried by
it was not carried by
himself. No such. thing ;
him, nor by his Administration, it was carried by
the people of England." But Lord RUSSELL be-
lieved that, having done so much in the past, he
could do more in the present, and did not fear that
he would be able to carry another Reform Bill in his
old age. But everything was changed. It was no
defaultin the present House of Commons, said Mr.
ROEBUCK, which rendered a new Reform Bill neces-
fary. " This House of Commons, the produce of
the Reform Bill of 1832, has run a race of legisla-
tion unexampled in the annals of the world." One
of its first acts was to wipe out the stain of
slavery. Another was to reform and popularise the
municipal administration, another to amend the
laws ; and one of their latest but not least valuable
reforms was to free the commerce of the country.

All this, said Mr. ROEBUCK, was done under the
Reform Act of 1832 ; and the result of their labours
has been that every man in England might say
what he thought, and might do what he liked,
so long as he did not injure his neighbour, and that
he was the freest man that walked upon the face of
the globe. But the Member for Sheffield freely
admits that a new Reform Bill is required,
not because great changes are needed, not
because he admits a natural right to the
franchise, but because in the distribution of power
in England there are certain men who have not now
the power of voting, but who have the faculties
and the capacity, " Capacity in every sense to en-
title them to a vote, but they have it not ; and
therefore for the purpose .f putting aside discon-
tent, I would have brought in a Reform Bill that
should have satisfied the discontented of the
well-intentioned, and well conducted, and educated
of the working classes of the country."
But in introducing a Reform Bill Mr. ROEBUCK
holds that it would have been expedient to distin-
guish between the well-conditioned and the well-
conducted men, and the drunkard and improvident,
and he evidently feels some irritation that a bill
which he did not heartily approve was brought for-
ward in such a manner that he felt bound to vote
for it. It was, he declared, an attempt to cajole
the House of Commons, and when that failed the
next effort was to bully them. The Government
failed in both attempts, and lost their bill and
their places. That, he thinks, is the story of
the RUSSELL-GLADSTONE Administration. As
for the new Government the member for Sheffield
is prepared to give them a fair trial, and he believes
the result of the change will be to unite the two
great parties now dividing the State. Let the party
in power, he said, get rid of some remnants of
bigotry and intolerance, and the moderate Liberals
will join them, and form a strong party representing
the real feeling of the people of England, and pro-
tect their interests. Whether or no this prophecy
is fulfilled, it is fully in accordance with Mr. ROE-
BUCK'S characteristic independence, and all sides
will agree in rejoicing that so bold and uncompro-
mising a politician is once more laying down the
law amongst us in his old outspoken style, heeding
and fearing neither friend nor foe.

Perhaps we are better able to judge of the hard-
ships inflicted by the Prussians now that compara-
tive quiet has been restored than we were at the
period of strife and confusion which prevailed at
first. The conduct of the Prussians towards those
who have been thrown into their power has been
most offensive. No one possessed of any feeling of
justice, and who entertains any sympathy with the '
unfortunate, can refrain from pity and indignation
when he peruses the account given of the meeting
between King WILLIAM and the deputation from
Hanover. In the most earnest and eloquent man-
ner was the address presented to his MAJESTY, but
those who have observed the doings at Berlin must
know pretty well by this time that it is impossible
to make any impression on the authorities there by
the agency of reason, or by the appeals to honour.
A doubt was expressed by the deputation that the
numerous addresses that had been prepared against
annexation had not been sent to the KING, and they
had good reason for uttering this opinion, for no
mention has ever been made of them, while the
newspapers teemed with the replies vouchsafed to
those in favour of annexation. The declarations
made by these influential persons bear out the truth
of the observations we made the other day concerning
the exaggeration that prevailed about the general
desire for annexation. It is here stated that more
than sixty thousand signatures have been put to
these addresses against annexation, and that many
more could have been obtained had not the civil
commissary of the Prussians " adopted the most
severe measures against the propagation of these
addresses, expressing the unanimous desire of the
country in the most modest form." Let those who
persist in declaring that it is in conformity with the
general desire of the peoples concerned that the
Prussian Government is urging forward its schemes
of annexation with such rapidity just condescend
to study the words of those who speak what they
do know about the matter. Of course, it is easy
for the minority to get their addresses sent, and to
obtain all possible publicity for them, because the
Prussian authorities do all in their power to aid and
abet them in the work, while the heartfelt desire of
the generality is kept in the shade and false reports
are circulated. Thus the units are magnified and
the thousands depreciated to carry out the wishes of
the unscrupulous powers thatbe in Prussia. The peti-
tioners declared that they preferred to appeal to the
heart of his MAJESTY rather than to his political
wisdom. We believe that one is about as likely
to be impressed as the other, and so the deputa-
tion found to their cost. We believe that un-
prejudiced and impartial persons will think that
the arguments are unanswerable which were put
forward in this appeal. " Your MAJESTY cannot,"
affirmed they, " take pleasure in dethroning a
prince whose dynasty has belonged to the kingdom
for a thousand years, and who also wears his crown
by the grace of GOD." The inefficacy of this earnest
appeal may be traced to the fact that there was
nothing to rely on in the character and conduct of
him to whom they were addressed. Vain were
the claims of justice, the hopes for mercy, the hints
at the policy of such and such a course, when once
the inexorable decree has been put forth that Prussia
requires any given sacrifice. We cordially concur
with the truth of the concluding sentence of the
Hanoverian address, and do not doubt that the
time will comewililn

feeble enemy can supply."
The answer of the KING is quite in accordance

rant than

al

pelled the KING to take this step so advetrshee tKolhNios

has ever aimed at, but the force of circumstances
has made him change his plans. It is shocking to
notice the manner in which King WILLI A3l appeals to
HEAVEN, and Makes PROVIDENCE answerable for
what Prussia has done in the way of encroachments.
Surely profanation cannot go further than we find
it carried in this sentence. " The results, the great-
ness of which I had not foreseen, and I may say
never equalled in the history of a struggle between
two powerful states for their existence, and in so
short a time, are due to the visible interference of
PROVIDENCE, -without which even the most perfect
army could not obtain such results." Can anything
be more outrageous than such an assertion, and
what respect can we entertain
According to
fora monarch
who thus commits himself. mtloiinsacrh-
gument murderers and offenders of all kinds against
the law may declare that PROVIDENCE is ou
their
side, and has permitted them to achieve their ends.
SUCCeSS is XIQ proof Of merit, and the wrong-doers

of earth are often the most favoured by fortune ;
but it is a striking instance of what presumption
-will do when we meet with this reply of King WIL-
LIAM. First of all, Prussia goes to war to suit her
purposes, then she turns round and declares that
she has made such " heavy sacrifices," that
territory must be annexed, and sums paid
to a very considerable extent in order
to indemnify her for her losses—losses, be it
borne in mind, which no one called on her to make.
The treatment of Saxony is also very discreditable
to the Berlin Government, and, if possible, it is
still more unpardonabble than their behaviour to
Hanover, because it was expressly stipulated that
that little kingdom was to preserve its integrity.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA, in giving up so much
with a good grace, made a proviso in favour of
Saxony, and the French EMPEROR took more pains
in this matter than in any other part of the treaties.
We now see of what avail these efforts and exhorta-
tions have been. Count BISMARK requires that the
King of PRUSSIA shall have the absolute command
of the Saxon army both in peace and war, and that
the troops shall take their oath of allegiance to that
Monarch. Further more Prussia is to employ them
as she deems advisable, both in peace or war, and
even make them perform garrison duty in any
part of his territories. However stern these condi-
tions, he is to have leave to garrison
the fortifications of Saxony with Prussian
troops, and destroy or alter them at his will.
No wonder that there has been some'demur made
to these intolerable demands. It is said that some
settlement is arrived at, of what nature does not yet
transpire, but in the meantime we may safely affirm
that it is a piece of perfect treachery on the part of
Prussia, and that the French EMPEROR has been in-
sulted, and the Austrians are befooled in the affair.
The Berlin Government are acting the tyrant to
perfection, and may find, as that character generally
does, NEMESIS spring up when and where it is least
expected, for it is not likely that such a course of
misrule can long continue unchecked or unmolested.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

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

The Moniteur publishes some documents which
prescribe the regulations made by the treaty between
Austria and Prussia relative to the exchange of
prisoners of war. They also relate to the arrange-
ments for railway communication. The Prussian
troops are on the march in various directions on
their return home. On the 18th inst. there will
not be a single foreign soldier, with the exception
of the wounded, in Bohemia or Moravia. The first
corps left by Oderberg, the second by Gorlitz, and
the fourth from Brunn, by Prague. The guards
are expected to arrive at Berlin about the 15th.
All these troops pursue their journey by railway.
The army of the Maine will remain for some time
in its present quarters.
The German papers give some explanation rela-
tive to the delay which took place in the conclusion
of the treaty of peace between Prussia and Hesse
Darmstadt. The Grand Duke had to choose be-
tween the loss of Upper Hesse or the dimissal of his
Minister, Baron du Dalwigk, who was opposed to
the cession of the territories of Biedenkopf and
Meisenheim. Another difficulty arose out of a
claim made by the Grand Duke to retain as com-
pensation the territory of Nauhein, which formerly
was included in the territory of the Electorate.
However, there were mutual concessions and ar-
rangements, and peace is now concluded.

The calculation of the Moniteur was that the an-
nexation of Venetia would give to Italy an increase
of population to the extent of two millions. An
Italian paper gives the following as the accurate es-
timate of the population of the provinces of Venetia.
Venice, 294,454 ; Verona, 217,855 ; Padua,
304,732 ; Vicenza, 527,784 ; Trevisa, 308,483 ;
Rovigo, 180,646 ; Belluna, 167,229 ; Udina,
484,542 ; Mantua, 154,800. Total, 2,493,475.
These provinces comprise 842 communes. In the
present kingdom of Italy there are 7,868. The
total number will now be 8,710.
One of the papers states that the manufacture of
guns proceeds with great activity. The needle-gun
has been succeeded by a gun upon a new principle
which may be fired seven times in a minute. The
mode in which this gun is to be employed will neces-
sitate new instructions in the use of the arm. Some
of the troops now undergo the new exercise. One
great advantage of this gun is that the bayonet may
be used with it even with more facility than with
the old gun. The gun is so constructed that it may
be fired with great precision.

Further accounts have been received of calamities
from the storms. Near the canton of Neumatt, in
Alsace, a father, two of his sons, and a servant
took refuge under a tree. The father, the eldest
son, and the woman was struck dead. The younger
son was paralyzed for a time, but was afterwards
able to go to the village and give the alarm. Num-
bers hastened to give assistance, but it was of no
avail. The occurrence has created much conster-
nation in the locality.
There has been a murder at mid-day in the mar-
ket at Levroux, in the department of the Indre.
A man who kept a chemist's shop had for some time
annoyed a married woman with his infamous pro-
posals. She had children, and, with her husband,
lived within a few doors of the assassin. On the
previous evening be had renewed his proposals,
which had been refused with more than usual
indignation. The woman went the next morn-
ing to draw some water from the fountain
in the market 'place, according to custom. The
wretch was on the watch for her armed with a gun,
and while she stooped down to draw water he fired.
The ball entered the back and went through the
chest. The poor woman died in a few minutes. The
assassin awaits his trial in the prison of Chateauvoux.
The weather to-day has been warm and beautiful
By exception the sun has been shining all day, and
there has not been any rain. The Observatory cal-
culations, however, speak of unusual derangement
in the barometer, with frequent and rapid changes.
Winds and storms have prevailed with great vio-
lence in the Baltic and on the Eastern coasts of the
sea. Stormy indications exist likely to bring about
more bad weather in the English channel. The
arrival of papers and letters this week from Eng-
land has not been so regular as usual. There have
been some shocks of earthquake in the south of
France.

An artful beggar, well known as Father Antonin,
has come to grief. For years past he has been well
known in all quarters of Paris as hopelessly deformed
and helpless, and money has not been wanting to
console him for his deformity. Chance, however,
has
led to the discovery that although like the crook-
backed tyrant Richard, he appeared to have been
made up lamely and unfashionably by Nature, it
was a journeyman of art who was guilty of his
construction. The other day, as usual, he was creep-
ing on the ground, moaning and groaning, like an
unearthly being, craving for money from the charit-
able. It seems that his habit was to resort to abuse
when solicitation was unsuccessful. A gentleman
who neglected to comply with his appeal for charity
was assailed with oaths and imprecations. Being
somewhat annoyed he gave the crooked blasphemer
into custody on the charge of begging, which in
France as in England is in strictness construed to
be contrary to law. When the police officer took
the hunchback into custody, he said he had not been
begging. Ile was following his trade which was
to offer up prayers for those who assisted him.
This was true to a certain extent, for he prayed
heartily when he got money, and cursed with equal
fervour when refused. It was because the gentleman
was rather displeased at being cursed so perseveringly
that he resorted to the assistance of a policeman.
That officer, however, when told by the prayer
seller that such was his trade, asked him for his
license, such a document being necessary to carry
on any trade whatever in France, and on his being
unable to produce the authority said he should take
him to the Commissary of Police on the charge of
exerciAing his calling unlawfully. Whitt) searching

the prayer seller, the police discovered that his de-
formity was a sham. The hunch on his back was
pasteboard, and all his other apparent terrible defor-
mities arose from mechanical contrivances. They
discovered that although he could not fairly be
classed as an upright man, yet, if bent and crooked,
it was he himself who was the architect of his appa-
rent deformity. However the crooked man has
been conveyed straight to prison.

VENETIA.

(From the_Times Military Correspondent.)
VERONA Sept. 1.

All friends of Austria must rejoice that she has
been driven out of the false position she has held in
Italy, and that her yoke is to be removed from those
whom she has so long held in bondage--for bondage
it must always be called when knowledge has to be
kept from an intelligent people. Here, at Verona,
no Italian newspaper can enter unless it is smug-
gled, and the ignorance of the inhabitants is some-
thing quite startling. Yesterday, on my return
from Milan, I placed the Gazette in a conspicuous
position in a handbag, and though the order of the
Archduke Albrecht opens the way to many: things
that would otherwise be impossible, this one cannot
be allowed. An infernal machine or a torpedo
might possibly be admitted, but a newspaper—
" Gott bewahr !" Though not nominally in the line
of demarcation during the truce, Peschiera is actually
the spot where the possessions still held by Austria
end, and those of the Italians begin. Railways
have laws of their own on these subjects, and it
would be difficult to stop a train on the bare line,
and cause the passengers to dismount for an hour,
while their status and the possibility of admitting
them were being determined; but the G-aribaldini
remain at one station's distance from Peschiera, nor
do the Austrian officers seek to penetrate into the
enemy's lines. But it is unfair to call them
enemies, for it is certain that the two nations are
intended by nature and geographical position to
be friends. This is sufficiently well understood
north of the Alps, and Austria is doubtless prepared
to make great concessions, if by any means she
may win the hearts of the Italians. But she has
added to the cup already overflowing the last drop
of bitterness, by defeating the Italian forces both by
land and sea, and the Southern press is never tired
of taunting their own Government, army and navy,
with the disasters that have attended their arms
both at Custozza, Lissa, and in the Tyrol; for among
the mountains General Kuhn not only held his own
but struck out right and left at the adversaries at-
tempting to advance on both sides of him. Though
Austria lost the campaign in the North, partly
through the fault of her Generals, and partly through
defective weapons, it must not be supposed that her
military strength was but a fable. She is strong
enough yet, and it is no shame to the Italians, with
their young army, to have been beaten by her supe-
rior organisation and training brought to bear under
experienced commanders, the arms of precision being
about equal on both sides. Unfortunately, Italy
expected too much, and was exasperated at having
to receive from foreign hands the territories which
she had hoped to win for herself on the field of
battle. I have heard 'women reproaching their lovers
or brothers for their defeat, and still more for their
subsequent inaction ; and when this is the case the
irritation must be grievous and the difficulties in the
way of a real alliance insuperable for the present.
Ministers and Generals may shake hands and be
friends, but the heart of the people has been too
sorely wounded to admit of a close alliance.
The very enthusiasm that has carried the Italian
nation so far is now against the chance of their be-
coming friendly with the Power that, having pos-
sessed them so long, is only cast out after tearing
them and leaving them half dead. During a con-
versation with an Italian officer of the navy a few
days ago he said that what Austria ought to be most
proud of in the victory at Lissa is that her ships,
plates, and guns are all of her own manufacture and
the sailors drawn from her own coasts, while the
Italians have had to ransack France, England, and
America for ships and guns ; and this does not
spring merely from a Pro tectionist feeling on the part
of the Austrians, but from the fact that they have in
their own country everything necessary for the mate-
riel of war, and especially iron. Our English artille-
rists have long given up the possibility of making
cast-iron rifled guns, but all the Austrian rifled
guns above the 8-pounder are of Styrian cast iron,
and have stood very well, though manufacturers
have failed to construct trustworthy rifled cannon
of much more than five inches calibre. In this they
have only failed where the Americans and Swedes
have failed before them, and must not be too
proud to buy of other countries till they can form
manufactories of wrought-iron or steel guns of their
own, lest otherwise they should meet with a well-
armed fleet trained to use their weapons and find
even Styrian 4fr and 5-inch plates but a poor protec-
tion against Armstrong 300-pounders. The follow-
ing extracts from the letter of a distinguished English
cavalry officer, who has travelled since the war
through Austria and Prussia, with the object of exa-
mining the troops of all arms, may be interesting to
English readers, and may prevent them from too sud-
denly taking up the idea that Austria's army is inferior
to that of the Prussians because it has been beaten by
them this once, under the double misfortune of in-
ferior small arms and some incapable generals. The
officer writes :
" One could not but bo struck with the idea that however
successful the Prussians may have been in appearance they
are really inferior to the Austrians as soldiers. The men
were dirty and slovenly. . . . The regiments varied in
an extraordinary degree. Some were composed of im-
mense men ; and others of seedy-looking unsoldierlike little
fellows. They drilled, however, remarkably well ; very
steadily, but with considerable rapidity ; very much faster
than our own. Wo did not see many cavalry, but those
we came across were miserable. The men riding infam-
ously bad, saddlery bad, and horses large but underbred-
The artillery . . . steel guns, breech-loaders, heavier than
Austrian guns, drawn by six horses. They have three cali-
bres-4, 6, and 12-pounders, the latter very heavy, but al-
most howitzers. The train was heavier than the Austrian,
horses much larger. In fact, everything was heavier. They
have a large proportion of train to a corps d'armee. I was
very much pleased with the officers I met. They were not
so taking in manner or appearance as the Austrians, but
they seemed intelligent and business-like. . . . They
all spoke most highly of the Austrian cavalry and artillery,
and said that they had saved the Austrian army, and they
did not appear conversant with the successes of their own
cavalry, which have been so glowinly depicted. . . •
I came to the conclusion that the zundnadelgewehr is about
the worst breechloader extant."

Now all this goes to prove what has already ap-
peared in your columns, that Austria ought not to
have been considered as without hope at the end of
the campaign, and that Prussia will have some diffi-
culty to hold her own, if the ancient Empire should
re-arm her infantry, put her best men in command
of her armies, and rise again to revenge her present
humiliation. There is evidently a strong idea pre-
valent that something of the sort will occur, not next
year, but the year after ; and it is confidently be-
lieved that France will not then bo absent from the
field, but on the contrary, will bring about the con-
test. The officer whose letter is quoted above visited
the camp at Chalons, and found the French army
speaking confidently of a future war with Prussia,
in which they have no doubt of success, for what
Frenchman ever doubted the superiority of the
national army ?
I think I forgot to mention in my letter from
Ancona that the Italian sailors are provided with
breechloading revolver pistols, on the French
even be extended to carbines,
pat-
tern, which can be loaded with much greater faci-
lity than ours. This is a point worth attention, and
the system might
though probably inapplicable to muskets, as it
would increase the weight too much.

The Orleans Railway Company has sent round
the following communication :—On Tuesday even-
ing about eight o'clock the train proceeding to Paris
with the mail went off the rails between La Creche
and Saint-Maixent (line from Poitiers to Niort).
Six persons were killed and eight wounded. The
cause of the accident is not yet known.
The Augsburg Gazette says :—" The re-establish-
ment of diplomatic relations between Prussia and
Bavaria will very soon take place, and we learn
that the Prince de Reuss, who represented Prussia
at Munich before the war, will return there in
the same capacity. Count Mongelas is expected to
be the I\lilliikx of BAYAxia, M Berlin."
