triumph on the field of battle , and the final settle ment " of which awaits to-day only the decision of Europe . The Opinioneot Turin says that the Government does not consider the Italian question prejudiced by the Regency of Central Italy . The preservation of the alliance with France is of great importance to Piedmont ; it is her duty to strengthen , every day the ties which unite the Piedmontese Government to the generous French nation ; " but , " says the Opinione , " can France forget that Piedmont has entered into no engagements with Austria , while on the contrary , she has contracted engagements with Central Italy ?" Telegrams , dated Thursday , state that Buoncompagni ' s departure for Central Italy is postponed .

The Washington correspondent of the IVeiv Yhrk Herald says i- — " Great reserve is manifested by all members of government in regard to the character o f the despatches recently sent to Mr . Dallas touching the San Juan Island " affair . I am assured , from a trustworthy source , that negotiations of a very serious nature are pending between the two Governments , and that we are much nearer to a violent rupture with England than is generally supposed . "It is known that the despatch of JLord Joiin Russell to our Government is peremptory , and its whole -tenour anything but careful , and would , require some forbearance on our part ; it is neither conciliatory nor pacific ; it demands full explanations of the conduct of JEIaruey . It is very evident that Government does not want this to be known , . ; hence their desire to keep it quiet . The reply of ' our Government is firm , dignified , and decided , ; maintaining our rights to the island in an able , i clear , ¦ comprehensive argument , backed ' by docu- 1 ment ' s irrefragable in their-character , to show to the ' British ministry that our intentions are honourable , ' i and that we adhere to the -stipulations entered into < by Governor Marcy , on the part of our Government , i and Lord Palnierston , that neither should -occupy ¦ the island while negotiations were pending /'
Garibaldi. Ox This Day Week It Was Repor...
GARIBALDI . Ox this day week it was reported in Florence that . General Garibaldi , with several battalions , had marched towards the frontiers in consequence of a rumour that disturbances had taken place at Ancona . This rumour , however , turned out to be without foundation . It is asserted that the volunteers under the command of General Mezzacapo have asked permission to march against the Papal troops , and that it is difficult to restrain their ardour . . Since the news of the French veto upon the Regency of Chevalier' Buoncompagni , we receive news that it is asserted thnt . General Garibaldi is , about to resigu his military functions and retire to , ¦ the'Island . 'of Sardinia . Another telegram from Paris adds , that ho has received the rank of lieutenant-general in the Sardinian army . ;

of as a in THE CONGRESS : THE PROPOSED . CONFEDERATION . It is said that the Sardinian Chambers will be sum- moned to assemble before the "Congress meets . The question of the annexation of Central Italy to Sar- . dinia will be fully discussed , and numerous addresses from the people of the Duchies will be presented , in order to give additional weight to their cause . The Paine of . this ' evening says that Cardinal Antonelli will represent the Pope . at the approaching Congress , audit is positively stated that it is the wish of ' the King of Naples to be represented fit . ' the approaching Congress . Meanwhile , to give a liberal colour , orders have been given to the Nea- t pplitan embassies to deliver passports to all Ncapo- j litan exiles who may demand ' permission to reUim to ^ their country . .. - '¦ _ The Debits- contains a letter from Berlin , according g to which M . do Schlemitz has informed the repre- 0 sentatives of Prussia that the Emperor of Russia u and the Regent of Prussia were desirous of meeting , a in order to concert personally upon numerous poli- ^ tical subjects . " They had frequent interviews , and t are firmly convinced of the identity of their views in c all tliat relates to the political state of Europe . "It q appears certain , " says this journal , " that from this ^ time neither Prussia nor Russia will support the j , project of an Italian Confederation , This combina- „ tion , in fact , would give the preponderance to France „ in Italy , and we have good reason for believing that ^ England will reject it on the same ground .

FOREIGN INCIDENTS . . Revolver , Practice , U . S . —At Baltimore on the 30 th ult . Mr , M'Phail , acting mayor , proceeded to the office of the Police and Fire Alarm Telegraph , for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of affairs throughput the city , and there met several friends . Mr . Ilanna , a reporter , entered the room , and , after inquiring as to the news of the day and evening * conversed with the operators about general matters , as was his custom . One of the operators made some jocose remarks about the shawl which Hanna wore , whereupon the latter drew a Colt's revolver , and attempted to shoot him . " In tlie excitement of the occasion " the weapon was discharged , whereupon Mr . M'Phail exclaimed that he was shot , and walked towards the door ; but before reaching it , he fell . At first it was supposed tliat he was mortally wounded . Hanna did not attempt to leave the place until a gentleman present urged him to do so , fearing that his lite might be in danger . Drs . Whitridge and O'Donjvan have fears that the wound may prove a very dangerous one , as they are appre ^ hehsive that the femoral artery ha = ; been severed , and will require to have the upper end of it taken up , ami ' the limb amputated below . Mr . " Ilanna had not been arre-te . 1 at half-past twelve o ' clock that' . night . "Dui-Ci ; kt Decorum Est" , & e . —At an audience which the '' Count de Lucena ( O'JDonneU ) had of his fair Queen und ' puissant King , just , before ' his departure from IMadrid to take command of the . expedition ' against Morocco , his Majesty said ,. " In the event of the marshal tliinking tliat the services of another general would be useful , lie , in lus quality of husband of the-Quean , a * marshal of the national armies , as a Spaniard , uml as a gentleman , was ready to place himself at the head of the troops and to share all their , perils and fatigues . " The Queen " listened to this Ax-duration with tears in her eyes , " . . ¦ and O . ' Donnell thanked his Majesty with " profound emotion , " in the n : im ? of the country . There is indeed but ono step from the sublime , to the ridicukms . . The Gas Kl-i .- > . vx . ; e Auiioad . —A French -correspondent writes : —A ludicrous affair happened at . the Havre theatre tii 3 other night . During the performance the place became suddenly dark , the audience groaned , an actress came , forward and said " , " Gentlemen , there is no more gas ! " A laugh and applause followed this statement , when the mtnagcr appeared— " without a black coat , a fact which gave great offence to some of the audience , " says the report—and said , " They are all open , " which after a time , was supposed to mean the stop cocks . The manager , of the theatre wrote to the Courrier du Havre on the following day , stating that the want of gas was not the fault of the house , but of the gas company , whose officer admitted that the pressure had been diminished in consequence of its being u . moonlight night . In future , when the moon shines ( says the editor of the ( CWWtr ) , the performance must take place in the open air . The Povis ' s Police . —A letter from Florence contains the following illustration ot the admirable civil administration of the Holy Father ' s dominions : — *< A rather startling case of robbery , which lately occurred at Bologna , lias just come to my notice . As M . Pndovani , a Jewish banker , wussittiugalouoin Ins counting-house , he was attacked , in full daylight , by three men , armed with pistols , who , by threatening his life , compelled him to deliver up to them , the contents of his strong-box , with which thi-y walked unmolested away . No clue has yet been found to the perpetrators of tins daring outrage . M- ladovani was the most aetivo person in bringing the matter ot the Jew boy Murtara to the knuwloilgo of the 1 ) U Tu ! Balloon Hoax . — Would you bo at ull surprised " writes a Now York correspondent , " at ¦ seeing a pleasure party of olghL or ten enterprising An orWs eomo plump down upon your island , so L morning , with advices from tho States but two days old ? Mr . Imwu , nn aeronaut , whoso rcputation has hitherto boon rather limited , proposes to make tho attempt to cross the uconn in n balloon .

To tell tho truth , tho project lias had too wirto a nublieity already . Whun tho prpjootors have mode money enough to reimburse thum lor thoir outlay , they will lot tho balloon innlco riu uaoonswa . by itself .

\ ' \ : ' s THE'AM ERIC AN INSURRECTION . Bnmvx , the Harper ' s Ferry leaJer , 'has been convicted of treason and murder , and his f . ite is in the hands of Governor Wysc , who has power of commuting his sentence on the motion for a stay of sentence by the court . Some of the ablest democratic lawyers of this region are strong in opinion that Virginia has no jurisdiction in the case , and it is possible tliat this question may be taken to the Supreme Court for settlement . A New York letter November 1 , says : —The trial of ' -Old Brown , " he is called , was brought to a close last night by verdict of guilty . The result excites no surprise , but the indecent and inhuman precipitation by which the whole proceedings have been marked have excited a reaction , even , in the feelings of the ultra Conservatives , in the prisoner ' s favour . He was brought into court on a bed , with four severe wounds various parts of his body , and arraigned whilo unable to sit up without assistance . Moreover , he was refused tlie two days' delay that would have been necessary to procure legal assistance from the Free States , upon winch lie could rely . Tho consequence was that tho members of the Massachusetts and Ohio bar , 'whom ho employed , did not make their appearance in court until all the evidence fox the prosecution was in ; and they were compelled to enter upon their duties without consultation with tho prisoner , without any accurate knowledge of the facts , and little or none of tho Virginian criminal code . On Saturday evening they had been without sleep for two nights—pnrtly spent in travelling , partly in study—and pressed for adjournment until Monday morning ; to enablo them to recover from comploto physical exhaustion . Tho prosecution fiercely opposed it , on the ground that all tho women in Virginia " were harassed by alarm and anxiety as long as tho trial lasted , ' and that the jurymen wanted to gut home to thoir wives j and tho summing-up was accordingly . commenced after nightfall , ni » d continued during the evening , and , the . prisoner ' * counsel only escaped having to address' tho jury through tho extreme lateness of thu hour . Tho trial closed yoaterday , with the result Imvo stated above . For gross inhumanity , for ferocious indillbrenco to the commonest claims ol ' fair play , it has never had any . parallel in this country , Before the wook is over tho Virginian ladles will broatho freuly over Old Crown's grave , ami tho \ Virginian militia lay down its arms in peaeo of mind ; but the abolitionists have novertholoaa ( hieved a moral triumph . Brown ' s aUempt at first exuitod groat horror , but tho absurd panic Into whioU < throw tho Virginians , and the cowardly eagerness ' his blood , which was displayed in tho manner of I conducting the trial , has done much to turn the « de of sympathy in his favour . r . \ \
