HIR Vlrtr Kmtnml'i Proclamation AMlt in Uarlbnlalaa. r The Ojjloi latttH of Florence published on Puudav, October 'i7, the subjoined proclamation from tLo King of Italy, the main points of which were specially telegraphed through the Atlantic rabic: EJjltaliau : Band of volunteers, organized and excited by the raanceuvres of a party, without iny authorization or that of my Government, have violated the Irontlers ot tbc Pouttncal Htate. Ibe repect due by ail citizens, without exreptioi), to the law and to International stipu lation, sanctioned by the Parliament and by myself, Impose on me In these grave clrcum stances an Inexorable duty of honor. Europe know that the standard ra'.red In the teiritory which adjoins our, and on which is inscribed "Destruction to the spiritual author ity of the Head ot the Catholic religion," Is Lot Ditne. This attempt places the common country In great danger, una imposes on me the imperious d ity, at the same time, of saving the honor of tae ii lit ion and ot not confouudiug in one cotu . mon cause two matters absolutely distinct two Otnects which are very different. Italy ought to be "reassured atraiast the dan gers which she may ran; Europe must be con vinced that our country, faithful to her engage ments, docs not wish to be, and cunuot become, the disturber of public order; a wur with our ally would be a fratricidal conflict between tiro armies which have fought for the same cause. Being the depositary of the right of peace or war, I cannot tolerate any msurpation of that privilege. 1 have, therefore, contidence that the voice of reason will be heard, and that the Italian citizens who have violated that right will come promptly and place themselves behind the lines of our army. The danger which disorders and inconsiderate projects may create anion? us must be conjured away, by maintaining tirmly the authority of the Government and the inviolability of the laws. The honor of the country is in my hands, and the contidence which tha nation has had In me in the most painful times cannot fail me. When calm shall be re-established aud public order completely restored, mv Government, in accord wilh Frauce, will endeavor, loyally, in conformity with the vote of the Parliament, to devise some means of bringing to an end the grave and important question of Kome. I have had, and shall always have, confidence in jour prudence, as you have had in the affec tion of your King lor that great country which, thai ks to common sacrifices, we have at last brought into the number of great nations, and which we must transmit to our children eDtire and honored. This proclamation was signed by the King and all the Ministers, thus: General Menaorea, Piesidcnt of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs; Gualterio, Interior; Cambray Digny, Finances; Cantelll, Public Works; General Itertole-Viale, War; and Marl, Justice; and until the complete formation of a Cabinet, the follow ing temporarily commissioned to act: Mena brea, as Minister of Marine; Cambray-Diqny, Agriculture; and Cantelll, Public Instruction. THE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT. Speech of the Jilng ot Pruula ou the Prorogation of the Session. ' A telegram from Berlin of the 2Gth of October evening reports: The sittings of the North German Parliament were closed to-day by King William in person. His Majesty delivered the following speech from the throne: llluatriouB, Noble, and Honored Gentlemen of the Parliament of the North German Con federation: The hopes with which I bade you welcome at the commencement ot your labors have to the fullest extent been fulfilled. The same patriotic earnestness with which, with clear recognition of our common aims, the federal constitution was founded has guided your deliberations, not only during the first steps, but also in the completion ot that work. In a short but eventful session you have, in the most varied domain of legislation, estab lished institutions which not only possess great importance in themselves, but distinctly indi cate the leading features of the institutions which will have to be created in the future. For the trying exertions which have been re quired of you in attaining these results, I thank you, both In my name and In the name of my Illustrious allies. ' The laws which you have had under delibera tion respecting the Federal budget, the liability - to military service, lrecdom ot settlement, the postal system, the postal tariff, the passport system, the salt tax, the nationality of merchant vessels, the improvement of the navy and of the coafll defenses, the legal rate of Interest and the Federal consulates, have met with the approval of the Federal Council In the form in which tbey were moulded by your resolutions. In the fact that all these Important laws, even though come of their provisions may have oc casioned an animated conflict of opinion, have nevertheless always commanded a large majo rity of jonr votes, I perceive with lively satis faction a 'proof of the reciprocal under standing with which the representatives, hand In hand with the Federal Government, endea lleavor to attain their common aims. The treaty you have adopted relative to the continuation of the Zollverein is, as far as the southern States are concerned, not yet assured. The federal Governments, as well as yourselves, would bo sorry if an institution, the beneficial working of which has redounded to the advan tage of the Btates which participated in it, should no longer continue to extend to all the countries which have hitherto reaped its bene fits. They are, however, together with your selves, conscious that the indispensable reform e-f the constitution of the Zollverein must not be sacrificed to temporary difficulties, and that in accordance with the Zollverein treaties the community ol economical interests presupposes before an as a national ooiigation tueir unuea protection. The treaty of navigation with Italy, to which you have given your sanction, will aid in strengthening our relations with a country with which we are connected by great common interests. Therefore return, honored Gentle men, to your homes with the tontcloueness of Having energetically iuriuerca tne national wort. 1 nope oeiore long 10 see you again assembled here, and then, indeed, in company with deputies from Sou.h Germuny to the Cus toms Parliament. In this morning's sitting of tbc North German Parliament, Count lii'mark made a speech on the subject of the Zollverein treaty with the South German States. He said the Government had hoped that the withdrawal of the Southern States from the Federal treaties would not take place; nut according to intelligence that had been received at Berlin, the Bavarian Parlia- ment would reject the Zollverein treaty. It had not been possible, he said, np to the present, to constitute a South German Zollverein. lie concluded by announcing that if the new treaty was not accepted, notice would immediately be riven of Prussia withdrawal from the old treaty. Tin Pope 1 tha Vartr.n-111, Interview WU tbaOartbaldla. PrU.uVr.T Vow the Pall Mall Gazette, October 2a. ' Yesterday (October 19) the Pope went to Fort ftt. Angelo and presented himself to ih Wdian prisoners, who received him on their Leokiisr round on the party, about twA film. t drvd in number, the Holy Father said "Behnhi km whom jr tleteral call the vampire f Italy. Is it errainst me you have 'all taken np atmst And what do yon see? a poor old man." The Pope then drew nearer, addressed several of in prisoners personally, saying, "You, my friend, nave lost your shoes, and yon your shirt, and yob yonr coat, and yon your hat. Ah, well. I shall see you are provided, and then I shall send joq away to vour own homes; only I shall ask you first, as Catholics, to make a splrltnsl retirement for my sake. Yon know, my dear friends, that it is the Pope himself who a Vs this of jou." The Garibaldlans were deeply moved by this address, and pressed forward to kiss the eros bordering the Pope's robe, when the Holy Father gave them his benediction. THE HUBRICm AT ST. THOMAS. If arrow Path af the Storm Full Particu lars of tha Losses-Strange Fatality from Taking Counsel of Fear. The steamer Marmion, Captain Berry, from Ilio Janeiro Od. 10 and St. Thomas Nov. 1, ar rived at this port yesterday. We are Indebted to burgeon Stephen Hat-brouck. ot the Marmion, lor the following account ol the recent hurri cai e at St. Thomas: We arrived at tet Thomas on the morning of the SOIL, end found that the island had been visited, the day previous by the most terridc hurricane ever known there, the town being partially destroyed and the loss of life very great. Ihe amount of property destroyed at prefcut is impossible to estimate; the scene of destruction and devastation impossible to describe. The wind commenced blowing a pretty stiff breeze about elyht o'clock from the northwest, and about eleven o'clock it changed round to the east and blew a perfect hurricane, carry ing everything before it. It lasted about tour hours, but during that time raged with such violence that trees were torn up, bouses lifted from their foundations' and da nod to pieces. Ships and steamers of the largest class, as well as smaller vessels, were hurled together and cither dashed to pieces or sunk. Some fifty or sixty vessels are ashore, dismasted or sunk, and part of their crews lost. Thousands are ren dered homeless, and the amount of suffering, confusion, and excitement It is impossible to describe. Ihere is nothing dolus; everybody seems paralyzed. On the morning of the 29th, there being indi cations of a storm, the passengers of the old Btetimcr Conway, Captain Ilaiumack, did not feel safe to go to sea in her, and wished to bo trausfetred to the Khone, a new steamer of the liue, where they might consider thcniselve sale In cai-o of a storm. They were accordingly transferred, and both vessels put to sea; but during the slorni the Rhone struck on Peter's Island, her boiler exploded, and all were lost with the exception of twelve or fifteen. The British steamship Con way, Captain Hatumark, was thrown on Tortola Island, and all hands were saved. Up to the time of our departure nothing defi nite in regard to the other islands bad been heard, with the exception of Tortola, of which leport sajs that the town is totally destroyed, and a number of lives lost. Harbor Master Steinberg, of 8t. Thomas, was drowned while nobly attempting to rescue others. Having succeeded in his first attempt, he was returning the second time, when his boat capsized, and he lost bis life. The itetinier Columbian came in at about eleven o'clock, and at two o'clock was sunk, and six persons lost. Her cargo whs valued at from $l,ooo,()0n to $2,000,000. The track of tho hurricane seems to have been narrow, as the Marmion, from Klo, and the North America, from New Y rk, urrtvod the day alter, and neither having experienced mors than a still breeze. The North America arrived at St. Thomas on the 30th, at two P. M., aud left aaain at six o'clock, without coaling ; re ported all right. I append a list ot disasters, as iar as suown: Vassals Bunk.

The Washington correspondent of the Boston 2'osf makes the following revelations: Certain parties, disappointed in securing the President's assistance to advance their scldsu purpons, are now making strenuous efforts to prove that Mr. Johnson, after making overtures to the New York Democracy, has broken faith with them and has utterly failed to carry out his promises. It Is charged that Ca?sidy u New Yoik addressed a letter to a prominent gentleman of tbiscity, in which he announced the purpose of the New York Democratic State Convention to pass a resolution repudiating Mr. Johnson and his administration, and that this announcement by some means reached the Pre sident's ears. It Is further charged tint the President immediately despatched a ditin cuisl.ed Miesourian and an equallv distinguished Tennessee gcntlemau to New York to confer wlrh parties lu that city with a vie w to arrest the patsape of the resolution of repudiation, and to negotiate, if possible, an amicable nirangement with the New York Democracy. It is lurther charged that after sundry meetings held at Mayor Hoffman's, in Mew York, it was understood, covenanted, and agreed that the resolutions lepudiating the Administration should be stricken out, and that a distinguished New York statesman should be forthwith in stalled in the President's Cabinet. Such, I understand, are the charges as pre ferred by the New York parties, who say they carried out in good faith their part of the agreement, but tnat Mr. Johnson has broken faith with them and failed to make Ihe promised change in his Cabinet. On the other band the President's friends assert that the want of good faith was not on his part, but that the agreement required the Convention to indorse the Administration, which it failed to do. and hence Mr. Johnson was relieved of any obligation to make the change in his Cabinet. Several spicy letters, I understand, have pased between the representatives of these high con tracting parties In their efforts to settle the question of bad faith. It is more than probable Mi. Chuich or Mayor Hoffman could decile the issue. Abandoned Lands In tho South. Cetif ral Howard, with the official approval of General Grant, has tentthe following important ctrculur letter to sub-commissioners of the Fieedmen's Bureau: Sir: As there is still quite an amount of abandoned property on your returns, and much of it occupied by former owners, who aban doned it according to the definition ot the law, and who, through contempt of the Government of the United States and the President's autho rity, decline to make any application under the orders approved by him tor its restoration, you ore hereby instructed to give notice to all snch persons. through vour ofllcers and agents, tbat their property, coming under the above Lead ot abandoned property held by the Government, and now on your re turns, will be taken formal possession of tne l9t of January next, and rented to refugees and trecdmen, in accordance with the provisions ot law.

It niay be added, with respect to the fore going order, tbat the amount of the abandoned land on the recordsof the Bureau is upwards of 2rO.C00 acres. Most'of It is of poor quality, and heretofore very little of it bus yielded any reve nue to the Government. MEXICO.

John Mnyer testified that he was a natnrallr.ed cltl fD, a baker, and had resided at No, IHosj Warnock street four years; thai he had voted the year before at the poll ol tbe Fourth Division of tha twentieth Ward; on Inst election day he went to this poll to vole; not having his naturalization certificate, his vote was out received; he went home, brought back his certificate, and handed It In, together with the lax rrcelpt; his vote was then challenged, and the de fend ant refused to receive It. In ibe cross examination It was brought out that the name on the tax receipt was John I). Myers, and Iheuanjeon his naturalisation oerlllicate was John Mnyer. Tbe Inspector's clerk testified that whop the vote was banded in, the Inspectors differed as to the pro priety of admitting it on account of the difference betwei n the name on tbe asseHSors' list and that under which Mayer wished lo vot; the matter was sub mitted to the Inspection judge, and he decided to reject the vote, and Magluriis acted according lo this decixlnn. Tbedefeodaut was Inspector at the same poll. On trial. Liability of the National Dank to State Taxation Decision in tne Supreme Court. in the Hnpreme Court yesterday aa opinion was read by Judge Read, In the case of City of Vlttshurg vs. The First Natiocal Rank, In which the question of the liability of national banks to btate taxation was Involved. This case came before the Supreme Court on a writ of error to tbe District Court or this county, Ibe original action being brought by tbe city ol Pittsburg to recover tbe amount of busluess tax a sested upon tbe bank under the act of Assembly. In bis opinion Justice Read recites tbe provisions of the act or Congress under which the national banks were established, and the rights and privileges ac corded to them. He then refers to a decision in oksos Involving tbe same questions made In tbe Hupreme Court ol the United Htatcs, and by Supreme Courts of other Btates, in all or which ft wai held tbat tie btates had no right to tax or Interfere with national bank', and then proceeds: In the cose before us the first argument was at Pitts burg, on tbe 23d of October, 1MS5. before four Judges, and, a reargnment being ordered. It took place at Philadelphia, on the 28th or February, 187. In ibis interval three more cases have been decided by the Hnpreme Ceurt of the United btates, which appear to settle the question entirely. In conformity with the foregoing part of the opinion, written nearly two years ago. In Van Alien vs. The Assessors, 8 Wallace, p. 57S. the Court held that tha aot of Jnne 8d, ika, rightly construe!, subjects ibe shares of Ihe Ranking Associations authorized by It, and in tbe hands of shareholders, tol taxation by the Btates under certain limitations set forth In tbe list section, and that such act thus considered Is constitu tional. Tbe effect ol Ibis decision Is that taxation by the Btates of National Banks in any other way than tbat excepted by the act Itself Is unconstitutional. 'The ower of taxation under tbe Constitution," says Justice Nelson, "as a general rule, and as has been repeatedly recognised lu adjudged cases In this Court, Is a concurrent power. The qualifications of tbe rule are the exclusion of the Btates from tbe taxation of the means and Instruments employed In the exercise or the functions of the Federal Government." These national banks are recognized In the opinions of both the maiorlty and minority of tbe Court, as tbe means and Instruments employed In tbe exercise ot tbe functions of the Federal Government, and of oourse liahleonly to tbe limited Btate taxation allowed by Cortgresa. TIiIh decision was amimed by the People vs. Com mlaalonera. 4 Wallace, and in Bradley va. the People. 4 Wallaoe. On the 4th of January the IjfgiHlalnre passed an net to enable the city of Pitts burg to raise additional revenue, by the 4th section ot whlcb the Councils of said city were empowered "to levy, assess, and collect for tbe use of the ciiy, an an nual business tax, not exceeding one-third or one mill per dollar, on the averagn quarterly business or all forwarding and commission morohants, broken, banks, banking Institutions, and on the average quar terly receipts of Insurance companies, luHiirance agencies, exgress companies, and telegruph compa nies doing business la said city." Ry tbe fifth section, ir the cashier of a bank falls to pay said tax, then tbe Treasurer of tbe city may levy and sell the property ot the corporation by a ward constable, under a warrant Issued by the Treasurer, Ry an ordinance of said city a tax was assessed upon tbe quarterly business of all banks and banking Insti tutions doing business In said city, and the tax so assessed on tbe defendants for tbe year IR64, was SHA7 67. Without stopping to show that the aot of lSf9 never could have contemplated a National Bank, and that the provisions for collection of the tax by a ward constable would be a singular mode of treating an institution established by tbe General Government, ll would be sufllulent lo say that this tax is not within the terms of the 41st section, for ll Is not a tax on the tax of sharrs ot shareholders of the bank, "ft Is clear, lheu, upon principle end authority," nays Justice Read, aftercltlng tbe decision In the case of the Iron City Hank vs. The City of Pittsburg, "that this Is a tax whlcn cannot be Imposed by the btate, directly or tl. rough tbe agency ol Ibe city of Pittsburg, upon tha defencants. a national Institution Incorporated under Ihe act of Congress." It therefore, this hank be considered as embraced by Ihe pro vis ons of the act of 1869. then this tat is un constitutional, whether ll be a lax on the capital or on the trade and business of the Institution, which tbe Bupreme Court says Is an "instrument employed In the exercise ot the funotions of the Federal Govern ment.'' In concluding. Justice Read says: "This Is a very large aud important question In all Its bearings, in volving ove r sixteen hundred national hank, with a rational currency of three hundred millions, which, if exposed lo unlimited Btate taxation, might bo taxed out ot existence, and the financial system of the Government entirely destroyed. All the authori ties, Btate aud national, agree In holding a tax like the present one to be unconstitutional. Judgment emrmcd. "Judge Thompson dissents. J'UtJiOurff Vhroniclt of Haturday.
