RECORD OF THE WEEK . HOME AND COLONIAL . Last , week closed with gloomy agricultural prospects and . inclemen * weather , the funds sinking . in consequence to 92 f to J . The bullion in the Bank was £ 133 , 091 more than the previous week , being £ 15 , 6 S 0 , S 40 . Sunday , however , was . fine from a very early hour , arid in the country the grass and trees had all the green freshness , and the air all the cooiness of spring ; but the sun ' s' rays were powerful , anJ . combined , with the brisk breezes that , "blew , aided considerably in drying up the superabundant moisture , though it came down again in heavy Bhowers late at night . ' As the first morning of the new week . dawned , London was lit up by a more baleful glare than that of the rising sun ; a conflagration which broke out in the large coach manufactory at the corner of Long- ' acre and . Endell-street , wrapped that extensive pile of buildings and St . Martin's-hall in one vast sheet of flame , and , in a lew hours , nothing hut the skeleton walls of both edifices were left standing . Spontaneous combustion of some greased rags in the coach factory is said tohave been the cause . Some excitement was occasioned early in the week by the report that communications which had been made . to the police had given rjse to investigations : that would eventuate in tlie discovery of the Stepney murderer or murderers . The inquest , on Jvlonday , was adjourned till Friday . > , On Saturday two important police cases occurred . A young woman , named Jane Wood , liad paid £ 20 to an emigration agent named Frederick Sheriff Grey , for a berth she had seen and approved of j . oil going onboard she was required to occupy an . inferior berth . This 6 he refused to do , and left the ship at Gmrcsend .- Captain M'Lran , the Government emigration agent , brought the case before the Lonl Mayor , and the mutter was compromised Ivy the ngent paying £ 25 to thcyoiing womnn . At tho Westminster Police Court , Allen F . Johnstone and Sarah Elliot were re-examined , under charge of stealing a " valuable child , " i . e ., a child possessing a money value in respect of its . artistic capacity , the present " valuable" infant being a singing one . Tho female prisoner seems also to huvo been passing herself off as Lady Fortescue , niece to Lord Palmerston , using as her means of imposition sundry documents , suoh as alleged forged letters from persons of rank , a will , a policy of assurance , a marriage certificate , & c . Tho magistrate , in deciding for a remand , suggested that tho case should be taken up by a solicitor . The Great -Eastern , having sailed from Now York on tho 16 th inst ,, arrived at Milford Haven on Sunday , 2 ( 5 Mi . Her seagoing qualities have now been fully tested and proved to b « satisfactory . At the village of " Guspo " , the coloured people resolved to present an address to the Prince of Wales , oxproasivi ) of thoir gratitude for tho freedom they enjoy under English rule . Eliza GlouoeBtor , a line young womnn , far advanced in pregnancy , destroyed herself by poison , at 99 , Upper Stamford-street , through distress of mind , which tho jury have interpreted ns " temporary insanity . " The wook that closed with tho dolugos of Friday and Saturday , yielded loss deaths to record th « n tho previous one , by i ) 2 ; tho numbers being respectively 1 , 029 and 937 , a fact which wo suppose the " coldwater-cure pcpp ' lo" will "take judicial notice" of . Tho corrected average deaths for thafc week during the past decade boing 1 , 175 j thero was a falling oil' in tho mortality of London , to tho extent of 288 .

FOREIGN . At the taking of Beggio by Garibaldi , 4 , 000 Calabrians joined the j standard of the liberal chief . Poteuza caught the'inspiration of freedom , j and flew at once to ; arms , the insurrection being headed , by the King ' s j interidant in person . The commanding officers of the National Guard at Naples tendered their resignation , on the ground that the King had broken his promise to disband the foreign regiments . News , dated the 15 th , from Naples arrived , as the present week opened , tending tt verify our prediction , that Garibaldi wouldcarry all before him , and recording j a fresh victory obtained by him over another body of Neapolitan troops . General Cosenz had crossed the Straits , at Fiunueino , with a considerable force under his command . Reggio capitulated on the 21 st , and ! the Neapolitan garrison were allowed to retire -with their arms and personal baggage . The Villa San Giovanni was , after a short fight , seized and occupied by the Graribaldians . Two Neapolitan brigades , llelandez and Briganti , " had surrendered to General Cosenz , giving up j arms , artillery , & c , and Fort del Pizzo had been captured . The French Emperor , in reply to the addresses presented to him at Lyons , delivered the following speech : "I thank you for the manner in wJiieh you appreciate my efforts to increase the prosperity of France . Solely occupied with the general interests of the country , I scorn all which may place obstacles in the way of their development . Therefore the unjust distrust excited abroad , as well as the exaggerated alarms and selfish interests in the interior , will-not affect me . Nothing will make rrie deviate from the path of moderation and justice which I have - followed , and which maintains France on the height of grandeur and prosperity which she occupies in the world . Therefore , give yourselves up with confidence to works of peace . Our destinies are _ in our own hands . France gives in Europe the impulse to all great and generous ideas . She onlysnffers from evil" influences when-she is degenerating . Believe that , with the assistance of God , she Bhall not degenerate uiuk-r my dynasty . " ¦ . News arrived early in the weelr , that the Pope ivas ready to agrre to the proposal ¦ for an Italian Confederation , as suggested . by France at Villafranca , arid had ' informed the Duke de Grammont of his determination . In Austria , the Council of tho Empire seemed to have had a curious change come ' over the spirit of its dream . The supporters of absolutist institutions " upon principle , " such as Count Cluni Martini ! k , all went over to the Hungarian view , in giving their adhesion to a federal form of government , and the revival of the Hungarian constitution . On the other hand , those members who had been most favourable to an Austrian alliance with the German liberals , have presented an opposition to the federal form of government , and demanded centralization , though on more progressive and popular principles than those formerly adopted . Tho reports of these two parties arc to bo forthcoming , after tho expiration of the present month . Last week , in reference to Italy , wo coupled with tlio statement of our conviction , thut with fair play , Garibaldi would curry everything before * him , the expression of an earnest hope that in caao of certain eventualities , England ' s policy would resolve itself into insisting upon non-intervention by other slates . Wo find by tho Queen ' s Speech that tho British Government id in fnvour of strict non-intervention in tho aflitii'S of Italy on the part of all the European powers . News , dated from Maples on tho ^ 8 t . h , arrived , to tho cfleet that the Neapolitan troops had been attacked and defeated in Calabria and other places , tho Guribaldiuns currying all before them ; and a belief prevailing that tho various bunds of liberating , forces would converge thoir march upon Naples itself . The news regarding Hungary ia important ; Genornl Bonedek having signified to tho Emperor his disinclination to continue Governor of tlmt country , on the ground ( hat tho grievances complained of woro substantial ones , was prevailed upon by that potentate to hold oflloo until the close , of tho debate in tho Council of the Empire , the _ majority of which aro in favour of a federal system of Government , in whioli tlioro would bo room for including the constitution of Hungary . Jfroquent personal interviews ures aaid to have taken place botween tho Emperor and Hungarian mom bars of tho Council . Tho minority of the Council , that is , tho more liboral section of it , contend ( hut tho Emperor , of his own authority , should oroate such institutions aa Mill allow tho groatost possiblo development of tho froo and full right of representation in all tho provinces , and they aro for the complete maintonaueo of the unity of tho Empire and tho legislative and executive jiowcr of tho Government , us well as an effective- control to be excreioed over the public administration by a proper representation of the people , embracing that of all tho interests ol tho country , in tho coin * munoe , diets mid council of tho Umpire .
