THE SUN.
TUESDAY. JANUARY 11, 1859.

King VICTOR EXMANUP.L, on the 10th of January,
followed the suit led by the Emperor NAPOLEON on
the Ist of the month. It is more than hinted that
the Royal Speech on the opening of the Sardinian
Chambers, a summary of which appeared in The
Sun of yesterday, was revised at the Tuileries, if its
inspiration were not derived therefrom. What,
then, becomes of the pacific conferences which so
boldly and authoritatively declared that there was
nothing in the diplomatic relations which war-
ranted the fears to which the alarming rumours
that had been prevalent tended to give rise ?
But, notwithstanding the warning thus given,
we find the mischief occurring a second time, and
that with the express connivance and approbation
of the first offender.

The tone of the KING, although couched in vague
terms, strongly savours of gunpowder. He declares
that the political horizon is not clear, but that the
future must be net with firmness. This is indicative
of some, formidable perils to be encountered. But
whence the danger ?—who is the Imperial delin-
quent who should be bound over in heavy recoi-
nisances to keep the peace ?—where is the
overcharged cloud from whence the thunder will
burst forth ? Austria certainly does not seem
disposed to become the aggressor. She has quite
enough to do to arrange her rather dilapidated
finances. She has no money to spare in " playing
at soldiers." She most certainly will not
make any new attack, although she unfortunately
clings to the false position in which she has been
placed, and from which she is unwilling to retreat,
and by which those who might otherwise be dis-
posed to act in a friendly manner towards her are
disturbed and alienated.

Who, then, is prepared to fling the firebrand,
and enkindle the flames of war throughout the
fertile plains of Italy ? Can it be that VICTOR
EMMANUEL himself meditates such a step? We
can scarcely believe it, unless he is assured of such'
powerful assistance as will enable him to despise the
superior force of Austria, and to ensure that
"fortunate future," to which he looks forward,
" because the policy of Piedmont is based on justice
and the love of its country's liberty." This is
possible, but not probable. There are many griev-
ances rankling in the hearts of the Piedmontese.
The sad events that broke the manly heart of
CHARLES ALBERT have not yet passed into oblivion.
The conduct of Austria on that occasion will not
speedily be forgotten or forgiven ; and there is a
bright hope in every Sardinian heart, that sooner
or later Italy will be regenerated and united, and
that their Sovereign will become the champion of
its independence.

But still Sardinia would bide its time,
and wait for some demonstration on the
part of the oppress©d nationalities, before
it wonld provoke so unequal a contest as one with
Austria—a contest in which it was previously sig-
nally defeated—that is to say, unless it had the
most satisfactory pledges of support and assistance
from a, Power or Powers fully capable of meeting

Austria and any auxiliaries that might come to her
assistance, on at least equal terms. It is tolerably
notorious that Great Britain will not interfere
to sustain the throne of the POPE, propped
up by foreign bayonets that she anxiously
desires that both the French and Au Arian occu-
pations of Rome and of the Legations may cease
and determine ; and indeed, the voice of public
opinion has complained very earnestly that
no steps have been taken to procure the cessation
of the unconstitutional system. Very unexpectedly
Louis NAPOLEON has proposed to withdraw his
troops, provided the Austrians also withdrew theirs.
The latter, however, know too well the value of
"po 3session," to give it up readily. They are quite
willing that the French troops should depart, but
they- would instantly fill their places, and the people
would have no cause to rejoice at the change. To
parody a celebrated passage that may be heard at
the Princess's—" The French baked meats would
coldly furnish forth the Austrian banquet."

Nov this cannot be longer tolerated. - If FRANCIS
JOSEPH desires to obtain the sympathies, or, what
is.. perhaps, no less important, the support of Britain,
he must be prepared to come into court with clean
hands, and to consent to the removal of all his
troops now stationed in the States of the Church.
He should also commence setting his house in
iarder, so as to render a good account of his steward-
ship, when called on, and to no longer shudder at
the talismanic words—Lombardy, Hungary, Gal-
licia. Were it not for the former, he would not re-
quire Austrian forces in the Legations, would have
nothing to fear, even if there should be intestinal
commotions in Italy. But he well knows that the
stringency of his rule, the iron nature of the chain
which he has wound around every Lombardo-
Venetian, makes his Government one of
fear, not love, and that all classes, from
the peer to the peasant, are only pining for
an opportunity of flinging off the hateful yoke at
Milan and Mantua, Verona and Venice. The alle-
giance that can only be preserved by steel and
gunpowder, by the bayonet and the musket, must
be of a very doubtful character, and can scarcely
be deemed worth retaining..
He has tried the experiment of coercion suffi-
ciently long. Its failure is palpable and noto-
rious. Might he not try the effect of a little
conciliation—see what he could do by offering
free and liberal institutions ? He might take a leaf
out of the book of VICTOR EMMANUEL, and try the
efficacy of an alternative. He may be assured
that it is his only chance of retaining any territory
in Italy. We do not want, however, the interfer-
ence of France or Piedmont. If liberty is worth
having it should be gained by the parties them-
selves. Let them have " a clear stage and no
favour ;" and if they cannot obtain it, they are not
deserving of it. We should, however, be disposed to
doubt the advantages that had been obtained by
French intervention. We should rather repeat
with the late DANIEL O'CONNELL, the celebrated
lines of BYRON—
, " Hereditary bondsmen, know you not,
Who would be free, themselves should strike the blow I';

The Plutarchian contrast between the English
and French Navies, recently exhibited to Europe
in the columns of the Conversations Lexicon, has
elicited from Admiral Sir CHARLES NAIPIER a very
sensible communication, conveying to the First
Lord of the Admiralty a variety of timely and some
of them most important suggestions. Read by the
light of our latest naval exploits, the letter of the
gallant Admiral, it is true, assumes to itself at
times (quite unconsciously) a tone of melancholy
satire. For example, at the very commencement
of this remarkable epistle, Sir CHARLES observes
that the article which appeared the other day in the
German newspaper already particularised will
have shown Sir JOHN PAKINGTON " that on the
Continent the prestige of the British Navy is very
much damaged, if not lost." An observation (thus
coming to us) irresistibly suggestive of the inquiry
—How this prestige has become " damaged if not
lost ?" Not certainly because of the inadequacy of
the maritime armaments sent out against the enemy
during the last war. For never throughout
the whole of the great wars of NELSON
and NAPOLEON, never previously upon any
occasion recorded in our history had such a fleet
left the shores of England as the one despatched
into the Baltic four or five years ago. No—if
" damaged," if " lost "—it has surely been helped
to this very lamentable anti-climax, it has been
expedited in its descent to this miserable bathos
by a maritime campaign beginning with immense
promise, but ending not even in smoke—in the
burning of a few broadsides of gunpowder off
Cronstadt. But for the reminiscences provoked
by the gallant Admiral through this reminder, we
should certainly have been content to let bygones
be bygones. But when Sir CHARLES NAPIER
volunteers the remark, that " on the Continent the
prestige of the British Navy is very much damaged
if not lost," it would be impossible, it would be
cruel affectation, it would be a shameful reticence
not to cast one wistful look askance at the memo-
ries of the Baltic expedition. Enough said,
however, in regard to the Past—letus look rather
to the Future, as Admiral Sir CHARLES NAPIER

looks to it now, hopefully and encouragingly.

Almost immediately at the commencement of his
letter, the sailor M.P. for Southwark reminds Sir
JOHN PAKINGTON that, upon coming into power, he,
the First Lord of the Admiralty, distinctly enough
gave the country to understand that he would fit out
a Channel Fleet, and altogether put the Navy of
England into a much better state of efficiency.
After taking the whole of the existing and much-
neglected maritime difficulties categorically into
consideration Sir CHARLES ends his letter with
these words—" To do all this would cost very little
more than our present system. It is so simple that
if the Government do not put it in force they ought
to be displaced by the House of Commons ; and I
for one will assist to do it." Bravo, Sir CHARLES !
This is plain speaking—a fair broadside—a raking
fire—clearing the way fore and aft, as effectually as
a charge of the 88th to the cry of Faugh-a-ballagh,
and to the tune of Garryowen. And what is " all
this" which can be done at so little cost and with
so much simplicity? Sir CHARLES NAPIER ex-
plains this as clearly and unmistakeably as we have
seen he intimates his intentions in regard to the
treatment of her MAJESTY'S Government. He care-
fully sums up the whole of his argument as to the
improvement of the navy and the permanent esta-
blishment of a Channel Fleet—an argument pre-
viously considered by him in detail clause by
clause—he sums all up very happily and minutely
towards theoclose of his elaborate and ingenious
communication. After remarking with start-
lino- and encouraging brevity, " I see no
difficulty in manning the fleet, on an emer-
gency, in a week provided our peace establish-
ment is kept on a proper footing," Sir
CHARLES proceeds at once to explain his plan
succinctly. A Channel Feet of at least ten sail of the
line—that to begin with—that as a
.sine qua non.
Each of these ten ships to have a full complement
of 900 thorough.seamen, with 100 marines. Ten
' thousand fighting men in all as the strength of this
efficient Channel Fleet. Supposing war to arise—
one watch from each of the ten ships to be dis-
charged into the other line-of-battle ships now in ,

readiness. Here at once would be consequently
twenty sail .of the line manned each with 450
thorough seamen. Add to these, says Sir CHARLES
NArIER, " 200 marines (which should form our
garrison in peace, to be replaced by the militia in
war), and 150 officers and boys, easily obtained"
—and there would be twenty sail of the line
manned, each with 800 men. Sixteen thousand
fighting men at once capable of being despatched in
twenty men-of-war against the enemy. Nay, with
200 men additional for each ship, taken from the
Coast Volunteers, and we should actually, as the
Admiral observes —without touching the Coast
Guard—have " twenty sail of the line better manned
than the fleet ever was in the great war." We
should have this magnificent fleet of twenty sail of
the line ready immediately, upon the outbreak of
war, to be directed against the foe with the force of
20,000 combatants. Without entering further into
the gallant Admiral's propositions at this moment,
that in itself is surely sufficient as a commencement.
It is a spirit-stirring suggestion worthy of the
brave sailor in his best days. It is a proposal we
heartily trust he will further from his place in the
House, during the ensuing session, with all his
accustomed energy as a Reformer of our maritime
Administration•.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AT SHORN-

CLIFFE.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales commenced his military career by present-
ing colours to the 100th (the Prince of Wales's
Royal Canadian) Regiment of Foot, at Shorncliffe
Camp. The Prince was accompanied by his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and attended by
Colonel Bruce, Captain Grey, and a distinguished
staff. After the regiment bad been duly paraded,
and the usual formalities had been gone through,
his Royal Highness, on presenting the colours,
said:—

" Lord Melville, Colonel de Rottenberg, and
Officers and Soldiers of the 100th Regiment,—lt is
most gratifying to me that, by the Queen's gracious
permission, my first public act since I have hadthe
honour of holding a commission in the British army
should be the presentation of colours to a regiment
which is the spontaneous offering of the loyal and
spirited Canadian people, and with which, at their
desire, my name has been specially associated. The
ceremonial in which we are now engaged possesses
a peculiar significance and solemnity, because in
confiding to you for the first time this emblem of
military fidelity and valour I not only recognize
emphatically your enrolment into our national
force, but celebrate an act which proclaims and
strengthens the unity of the various parts of this
vast empire under the sway of our common Sove-
reign. Although, owing to my youth and inexpe-
rience, I can but very imperfectly give expression
to the sentiments which this occasion is calculated
to awaken with reference to yourselves and to the
great and flourishing province of Canada, you may
rest assured that I shall ever watch the progress
and achievements of your gallant corps with deep
interest, and that I heartily wish you all honour
and success in the prosecution of the noble career
on which you have entered."
After the ceremony the Prince of Wales left for
Dover, where he arrived yesterday evening at half-
past five o'clock, to embark for Ostend, on his visit
to Rome.

His Royal Highness was attended by Colonel the
Hon. R. Bruce and a distinguished suite. He wore
the uniform of a colonel in the Guards.

Mr. J. P. Knight, the superintendent of the
South-Eastern Railway Company, was in attend-
ance upon the Royal train.
On the Prince alighting from the State carriage
the band of the 4th battalion 60th Royal Rifles,
which regiment supplied the guard of honour at
the railway station, struck up " God save the
Queen." His Royal Highness was received by
Major-General Craufurd, the commandant of the
:garrison ; Captain M'llwaine, R.N., naval super-
intendent; Major Barnard, Grenadier Guards;
Captain Smithett ; the Mayor of Dover. (Dr. Astley),
&c. Every arrangement for the reception of the
Prince had been made by the superintendent of the
station, Mr. Way.
There was a large assemblage of spectators, whose
salutations were graciously acknowledged by the
youthful Prince:as he walked, attended by the per-
sonages above named, to Birmingham's Imperial
Lord Warden Hotel.

A guard of honour of the Bedford Militia was in
attendance at the Lord Warden, and as his Royal
Highness left the railway station a Royal salute
was discharged from the guns of the Drop
Redoubt.
After refreshment at the Lord Warden Hotel,
his Royal Highness and suite embarked at the
Admiralty-pier in the Royal mail packet Prince
Frederick William. His Royal Highness, attended
by Captain APllwaine, was received on board by
Mr. J. G. Churchward, and the vessel, in charge
of Captain Smithett, started for Ostend at 8 p.m.

THE PRINCESS FREDERICK WILLIAM.—The

Nord contains a letter from Berlin, dated Friday last, in
which We 'read :--" Ws are expecting the accouchement
of the Princess Frederick William from day to day. The
accoucheur of Queen Victoria and an English nurse are on
their way. Another nurse of the Rhenish province will be
at the disposal of the Princess, who, I should add, remains
marvellously well. On the occasion of her delivery some
of the political prisoners and refugees took for an amnesty."
It is mentioned in another letter that the nurse now in the
royal household is the wife of a husbandman in West-
phalia.
The Duke of Leeds has left the Clarendon for
Hornby Castle, near Catterick, Yorkshire.

The Earl of Derby arrived in London yesterday
from. his seat, Knowsley Hall, Lancashire. •

,The Earl of Radnor is receiving company at his
seat, Coleshill House, in Berkshire.

Lady Elizabeth Dulteel has returned to her seat
in Devonshire from visiting the Earl of Radnor at Coles.-
hill, Berks.

Lord and Lady Eleho have left town for the New
Forest.

Lady Granville Somerset has arrived at the St.
George's Hotel, Albemarle-street.

Lord and Lady narriet Ashley are passing the
season at St. Giles's, Dorset, the seat of the Earl and
Countess of Shaftesbury.

Count de Jarnac has left Claridge's Hotel for
Woburn Abbey, on a visit to the Duke of Bedford.

Lady Molesworth has left town for Tatton Park,
Cheshire.

Lady Morris has arrived at the Queen's Hotel,
Upper Norwood.

Capt. and Mrs. Lord have arrived at Wallace's
Hotel, Hyde-park-corner; Mr. Campbell has arrived at the
same establishment.

The Aberdeen Herald states that the late Thomas
Edmonstone of Buness, Zetland, " has surprised most
folks—particularly his relations—by leaving nearly the
whole of his wealth, landed property, and £30,000 in cash,
to his natural daughter."

The Brussels Independance of yesterday con-
tains the following telegram from Berlin, dated Saturday :
—" The report of the betrothal of Prince Napoleon Bona-
parte to the Princess Clotilde, daughter of the King of
Sardinia, is circulated and accredited in the best informed
circles of our capital." The princess, who is the eldest of
his Majesty's children, was born on the 2d of March, 1843,
andwill, therefore, be but sixteen on the 2d March next.
Prince Napoleon is in his 38th year.
We (Times) are requested to state that Mr. J.
H. Orde, having resigned his situation in the War-office,
has ceased to act as private secretary to Major-General
Peel.

TIIE NEW BISHOP OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.—A
subscription has been commenced at Great Yarmouth by
the parishioners of the Rev. Dr. Hills, Bishop DeSignate of
British Columbia, with the view of establishing in the new
diocese a permanent memorial of the esteem which they
entertain fur him. The subscription already exceeds £2OO.
The ladies of Dr. Hill's congregation at St. Nicholas, Yar-
mouth, have presented him with a handsome communion
service for the cathedral church which will be erected in the
colony. The bishop will be_ accompanied on: his departure
for his diocese by 20 missionary clergymen. One of these
is Mr. Lupson, a Scripture reader at Yarmouth, who is to
be specially ordained a minister of the Church of England.
ELOPEMENT IN THE EASr RlDlNG.—Another
strange match has again been made in the East Riding of
Yorkshire, respecting which the following are a few brief
.particulars:-An accomplished young lady, daughter of a
squire, resident not 50 miles from the town of Driffield, had
become attached to her father's valet, and the charming
beauty (for such she is) resolved to communicate her
thoughts to her admired one. This done, of course Ito
.readily proposed a speedy marriage, to which she consented;
but as to how the marriage was to be effected without the
knowledge of her parents was a matter for consideration.
With the ingenuity peculiar to her sex, she soon. overcame
the difficulty. She proposed to her father to visit a friend
in the'country, some 20 miles distant, for a fortnight or so.
Consent was obtained, and the necessary instructions were
given by the young lady to the valet to meet her at the ter-
mination of a week at York. She, instead of going to the
" relation's," proceeded to York, where a week after her
departure, she was met by the young man, who had also ob-
tained leave for a couple of days. No suspicion whatever
was entertained by the parents, who were 'startled in the
course of a fortnight by receiving " the wedding cards."
The runaways are supposed to be in the metropolis or Man-
chester, where they will doubtless stay until the storm is
over,--Manchester Examiner.

LATEST NEWS.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.
The Royal Mail steamer Teviot, from Alexandria,
passed Hurst at 9.15 a.m.

AMERICA.

(BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH,
GALWAY, TUESDAY MORNING:

The screw steamer Circassian sailed for St. John's,
Newfoundland, and New York, this morning, with
230 passengers and a valuable cargo. She also
carries some important telegrams.

The following telegrams were received at Mr.
Reuter's office this day :

NAPLES, MONDAY, JAN. 10.

All the principal political prisoners have been
amnestied and sent into exile. Poerio and Settem-
brini are amongst the liberated. There are hopes
that others will be pardoned.

VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING.

Our funds fell again considerably. Five per
Cent. Metalliques closed to-day, 81 ; Saturday,
82.50. National Loan closed to-day, 82 ; Saturday,
83.30.

The Times Paris correspondent (second edition),
in his letter dated yesterday, says :
" You will, doubtless, have received before this
the substance of the more important passages of
the King of Sardinia's speech, delivered►this day, at
the opening of the Chambers at Turin. What sense
will be attached in England to the passages that
have reached you I know not, but here they have
increased the panic which, on Monday last, was
produced by the Emperor's address to M. Hubner.
Much anxiety was betrayed the whole of the morn-
ing about Turin. It was known that the speech
had been sent up here to be retouched, but opinion
was divided as to whether these touches were in
cheerful or gloomy colours. A despatch from Turin,
giving an analysis, was known here about 2 o'clock.
The last sentence was followed by fresh sales to a
large amount, and the fall continued to the close.
" Another circumstance, which perhaps does not
contribute much to restore calm, is the news of
the approaching marriage of Prince Napoleon
with the daughter of the King of Sardinia.
At any other moment this event might pass un-
noticed except among the personal friends of
his Imperial Highness ; but, coincident as it is with
rumours of war, it seems to betoken an intimate
alliance, for good or for evil, with Piedmont. The
Prince will, it is said, set out for Turin on an early
day to become acquainted with his future bride.
After his marriage he will have the disposal of the
whole of the Palais Royal; the offices of his de-
partment, as Minister of Algeria, &c., will be
established at the Louvre. It is affirmed that
the Emperor gives a dotation of one million
francs to his cousin. This last is, of course, but a
trifle, if the state of the finances, as described in
the flowery report of M. Magne the other day, be
correct. Anticipating, probably, that the mar-
riage would not at this moment enchant the public,
who are so anxious, and I may say so alarmed, at
the thought of peace being disturbed, orders have
been sent round to the newspapers not to make any
allusion to it. This was understood to be at the
instance of one of the Prince's household acting by
authority. The Minister of the Interior and the
Prince are both, as is well known, partisans of the
liberty of the press ; their notions of it, however,
are, as we see, peculiar. The newspapers have, as
commanded, kept silence. The Prince will be
accompanied to Turiu by one of his aides-de-

camp."
