The bullion in i 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 coolness 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 showers 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 few hours , nothing but 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 ?* l 6 nday , was adjourned till Friday . > , On Saturday two important police cases occurred .

Tho female prisoner seems also to huvo been passing herself off as Lady Fortescue , niece to Lord Palmeraton , using as her means of imposition sundry documents , such as alleged forged letters from persons of rank , a will , a policy of assurance , a marriage certificate , &c .

! | At the taking of Reggio by Garibaldi , 4 , 000 Calabrians joined the j standard of the liberal chief . Poteuza caught the'inspiration of freedom , ! and flew at once to ; arms , the insurrection being headed , by the King ' s ; 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 tho 15 th , from Naples arrived , as the present week opened , tending tt verify our prediction , that Garibaldi wouldcarry all before him , and recording a fresh victory obtained by him over another body of Neapolitan troops . General Cosenz had crossed the Straits , at Fiunrieino , '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 Garibaldians . Two Neapolitan brigades , llelandez and Briganti , " had surrendered to General Cosenz , giving up 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 g reat and generous ideas . She onlysuffers from evil" influences when she is degenerating . Believe that , with the assistance of God , she Bhall not degenerate under 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 ! ss , 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 tho 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 uro to bo forthcoming , after tho expiration of tho present month . Last week , in reference to Italy , wo coupled with tho statement of our conviction , thut with fair play , Garibaldi would carry everything before * him , tho expression of an earnest hope thut in caao of certain eventualities , England ' s policy would resolve itself into insisting upon non-intervention by other status . 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 . JTows , 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 bands of liberating , forces would converge thoir march upon Naples itself . The news regarding Hungary ia important ; Genornl Bonedck having signified to tho Emperor his disinclination to continue Governor of thut country , on tho ground that tho grievances complained of woro substantial ones , was prevailed upon by that potentate to hold oflloo until the close , of tho doba . to in tho Council of the Empire , the _ majority of which aro in favour of a federal system of Government , in whioli there would bo room for including the constitution of Hungary . Jfroquent personal interviews uro aaid to have taken place botween tho Emperor and Hungarian mem bars of the Council . Tho minority of the Council , that is , tho moro liboral section of it , contend ( hut tho Emperor , of his own authority , should create such institutions as Mill allow tho groatost posaiblo development of tho froo and full right of representation in all tho provinces , and they aro for the complete maintonaneo of tho unity of tho Empire and tho legislative and executive power of tho Government , as well ae an efl ' ectivo control to bo exercised over the public administration by a proper representation of the people , embracing that of all tho interests ol tho country , in tho communoe , diets mid council of tho Umpire . ' Thoro liaa been ono of thoso widespread rumours circulating winch pavlako as much of tho nut uro of precursors of anticipated cvontH , uh of « record of tho past , and whioli , unauthonticatod us wo write , may w confirmed by tho noxt : po » t , totliu olivet that tho fli ^ hl "f .
