MORE ABOUT THE PRINCE-The London Times
says Happy l. the prince who governs a nation
which has learned in the ordinary affairs Of life to
govern itself that can be its own police, its own
army that can frame its own laws and recognize
the duty OF Cbeyiug them, without fear, and without
compulsOu. OF the machinery Of Government, Of
course, the Prince could see little or nothing. Int If
the external manifestation Of the TWO forms of popu
lar sovereignty which exist side by side in Canada
and the United States, he has seen more than ever
one person saw before. We hope and believe the
lesson will not be lost, and that the future King Of
England will bring to the throne Of his ancestors.

generous sympathy with his fellow-creatures, and a

THE CAPITAL or ITALY.-The statement Of Count
Clvour..i in MS recent significant speech, that the gov
eminent desired the city of Rome should be the CAPT
tai Of United Italy, will coincide with the opinions of
most Italians; while to scholars, and all who take the
slightest interest in the affairs Of Italy, there seems n
peculiar fitness in the selection. Florence - the
only city which has been named as likely to contest
the claim Of Rome a. the seat of Government 10 the
kingdom. Is a place of residence II l. much pleasan-
ter, and with a powerful court would speedily rival
in its attraction ali the other capitals of Europe.
Rome itself has no building which y so well adapted
for a royal palace a that lately occupied by the Duke
Of Tuscany-for the Vatican, huge a it j., and with
all its art treasures, i a rather drear- residence, and
the Quirinal does not compare with the Pitt Palace.
POPULARITY OF LOUIS NAPoLEON.-Tne Emperor
himself l. personally immensely popular. Before |
came here | had somehow got the impression that his
people barely tolerated him, and only awaited a IA
vOrlble opportunity OF getting rid Of him, but l have
changed my opinion wonderfully since | have seen
him amongst them and have witnessed their devotion
TO him. | believe that they are rs proud OF him as
they are fond. He has made their country so pros
porous and So glorious that they feel a personal pride
in his greatness. No one can live here long without
feeling that he Is 4 wonderful man-the ruling spirit
Of Europe. He has had, perhaps, the best education
Of any monarch in the world. Nurtured in adyersi-
ty, educated in exile and Imprisonment, he knows
how to estimate things according to their real value,
TO see them in their true light, and to make the right
use of his prosperity. What q wonderful biography
his will be, no matter when 1t IS written
GARIBALpI AT HoNE.-Letters from Caprera tell of
the Liberator enjoying his liberation as only n man
can do who has worked hard for the luxury. In
those letters, however, Garibaldi speaks of his retire
ment as but temporary. and events point omlnousiy
TO the approaching spring as probably fraught with
disturbance TO the peace Of Europe unless Austria
make such n change as Austria is but little likely 10
do. \ Genoese paper. the .nOrimieRfO, tells of a sur
prise awaiting Garibaldi in his island home. Du-
ring the period that the General was engaged in
Sicily and Naples, Victor Emanuel had sent a regi-
ment Of laborers TO Caprera, who had speedily cleaned,
MANFRED and planted the fields of the hero of Italy.
In place of the unpretending cottage, which was all
that formerly served the merchant captain as q home,
the Sandman King had caused a handsome villa TO
be erected, and, altogether. such a change was effect
ell in the scene as caused Garbaidi TO rub his eyes,
and doubt if he hadn't made some slight mistake in
seeking his way home.
FRANCIS III. AND HIS OPPONENTs.-The King Of
Naples has sustained n loss which depTives him of
half the army that remained 10 him after the great
defeat Of Saturday last. 1t was known that a body Of
his troops were outside Gleta on the North when the
Italian army approached the fortress; and a telegram
had informed Us that General Fanti was endeavoring
10 make them prisoners. The information we give in
another column probably relates 10 this corps, which
in that case. however, must have been much stronger
than we had been led To suppose. Cut Oft from Gaeta,
aud hard pressed by the Italians, the Bourbon troops,

t%hirty-two guns. rather than surrender, took refuge
in the territory Of the Pope, which they entered by
Terracina. They appear to have advanced unmolest-
FL as far As Cisterna, which IS about eight miles from
Nelletri. and fve-and-twenUy miles from the point ut
which they crossed the frontier.
But here they We're brought TO n stand by the Pa
pal and French authorities, who. according to usage,
were about 10 disarm them. \ week ago, the strength
Of the Bourbon army was ylriously estimated nj from
10000 70 $4,000 men, the latter being regarded As
an extreme statement. We cannot reasonably set
the 81 al less than 5000. Thus, in less than "A
week Francis II. has lost 10000 men. a loss which II
even numerically greater than he sustained IN any
week during the operations which drove him from
