IT is, quite clear that the prisciple on which paro chial and other rates are saneamd throughout the metropolis most soon become the abject of 'vials tire investigation. Nothing can be less equitable than the system at present in force. Take the poor rate, for iastioce, which is the Wear* instance of the unfairness in (pestles.

To this the sub dent objection appears to be, that by paying the paw rate out of the consolidated fond you would tes tingly lose the bearer, not only of that local omega moot which, on many grounds, it Is so desirable to aaintais, bet—which is still more important —of that waive log al watchfulness against any soda lacrosse in the amount of the local rate, which, novel it may ownetiess operate harshly, is no doubt on the whole singularly instrumental in keeping down the bordon of pauperism.

Bat no scheme yet solenittod to the Legiasture, although the subject his more lama i coos been mittnaitted to Parliamentary inquiry, has adequately solved all the difficulties of the problem. The COM of the 'metropolis is is some sense a peculiar one, from the vast number of casual poor, who, attracted Irma various mouses to this greatest:4re of population, press with additional severity on the parochial lands of the poorer diatriots. Nor is it only with regard to the poor rate that the difficulties arise. The rates imposed under the authority of the Metro. polio Local Mansgernent Act, especially as they in. crease in magnitude and importance, are giving rise to precisely the same clams of difficulties. An adds• lions' emberruement indeed has been imposed on the Metropolitan Board by the wording of their Act. The Act says that where a "county rate' exists, the seeeesment shall be made on the basis of the county rate ; where it does not, then on "a like estimate." This, of course, has created perplexity; and the point was raised, but not decided, at the meeting of the Board on Tuesday last, whether the City of London, where there is so county rate, should be estimated on the basis of the local mowers rate or the property tax. It is obvious that when once the system of main drainage has been decided spa, and has to be paid for, the whole question of rating under the Metropolitan Board of Works will assume very serious dimensions indeed ; nor could any subject more fitly be referred, on the meeting of Parliament, to a working committee of practical men, than the true principle of rating for the metropolitan district. Why should not trial be wedeln the metro. polis of that system of general or union, as distinct from district and parochial, assessment, which, if found to work well in the capital, might by degrees be extended to the provinors P The question is sae to which the attention of the Legislature cannot ton early or too earnestly banned. gOt Court.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. A SECOND CONGRESS. The Utica* in the Nord of yesterday, to which our Pane correspondent &Rodeo, is as follows The por.tical world is much occupied with the attitude tr.ken by France in the dispute relative to the exe elation of the treaty of the 30th Much. Oar corres pondence from Paris contains some details upon this subject worthy of implicit reliance. According to our correspondent, we went too for in saying that the French government shares entirely in the opinion of Russia as to the questions raised by the execution of the treaty. France has not (skin a position so clearly &fined ; it enters the debate more as a mediator than as a party in the dispute; it pur sues a policy of conciliation, and all its efforts tend to bring about an understanding preliminary to the meeting of a second Congress. The tusk is difficult, on amount of the conflicting interests. While re. cognising the justice and legality of the arguments adduced by Russia in favour of the meeting of the Conference, the cabinet of the Tuileries has to take into consideration the reasons urged spinet the project. There is every reason, however, to hope that its persevering and moderate policy will end by triumphing over every obstacle. Our special cone spoodent at Loodoci informs us, on his part, that the Foreign Office has at last shown itself favourable to the meeting of the Conferences.. The Paris Press* of yesterday evening quotes from • London Correspondent se follows: The informa tion at the French Embassy here justifies the an nouncement that Lord Palmerston, yielding to a superior influence, has at lest consented to a rermicei of the eonferenoe, being convinced that the Emperor of the French will insist, quits as mash as England, on the strict execution of the Treaty of Paris." THE EAST. Tke following note appears in the Pays It is known that a European commission was appointed to median what works will be necessary to be exe cuted to re-establish the navigation of the Danube. We are assured that this commission, after having viewed the localities, hes concluded its labours, and settled a plan for works which will commence next spring. Two engineers, have, it is said, been chosen by mutual consent to superintend the wake." The Pays correspoodectoe from Constantinople states that the Aviso Maxie had been sent to Trebi wed to fetch M. Boner* the French charge d'affaires at Teheran. M.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ocra ow PARIS, SUNDAY Bennixo. The evening papers all take it nearly for granted upon the strength of telegraphic despatches from London, confirmed, though in somewhat hesitating language by the Nord of Brawls, and the weekly organ of the tory party (whose leader is probably at this moment in consultation with the French Em peror), that yew conferences will forthwith be opened at Parte. They do not, however, seem to have received any original information on the subject, and I believe that at this moment the fact, though much more probable than it was, is far from certain. Pot ting toge.ber the reports which reach me from various quarters, I have little doubt that the matter stands, just now, nearly in this way : The English cabinet, hard pressed by the extra neous influences to which I have more than once alluded, has, I believe, consented, but with much proviso and exception," to en'ertain the project of ► new Congress. It shrinks, and perhaps with suffi cient reason, from assuming the responsibility of refu►ing to agree to a Congress, at all events when it is told that its objection is now reduced to one of form, and that a►l that England demands in substance will certainly be obtained. But lam nearly certain that the preliminary understanding—the mead* prealabk as it is phrased here—is yet under discussion. The Russian party holds out that if it be conceded, that there was no attempt at trickery in the Cosgrove, and that the Bolgrad which Count Walewskt put his finger upon on the Russian map was the real Bolgrad, and not a false one, Russia: may possibly be magnani mous enough to snake a further oonoeesion on re ceiving an adequate territorial compensation. This is the point, or at least a point among others, upon which Lord Palmerston's government has not yet, I fancy, given any definite answer. And further it probably remains to be shown more conclusively than has yet been done, that the parties undertaking to promise what the vote of the Congress will be— which promise farms the whole basis of the negotia tion—are in a position to gumless: the fulfilment of their offer. The telegraphic report of the King of Prussia's speech is generally criticised as wanting in precision. The Alamolee, which yesterday so resolutely urged the King to invade Neufchatel. is evidently diesp pointed, and expresses a hope that the text, when it arrives, will prove to be more energetic. It is, in fact, a probable inference, from the words, "My desire is to bring about a solution conformable to the dignity of my crown, by an understanding with the European powers," that the subsequent appeal to the energy of the Prussian people is a mere flesh in the pan. An article in the Petrie, evidently officially inspired, confirms the belief that I have already expressed when referring to °spend Dafour's mission, that the French Emperor would not countenance the 'newton of Neufchatel. It would be madness in the King to attempt such an enterprise if opposed by France and England. The Swiss would fight valiantly for themselves, and their struggle would give France an excuse to take the extremely popular measure of sending an army upon the Rhine. The Emperor and Empress went to the ball at the Opera lilt night, as wee expected. They remained upwards of two hoar, in their box, bat did not come down to walk among the crowd.

No tidings have reached of the missing boats of the Lyonnais. N. Cabet, founder of the Icarian Community at Nauvoo, Illinois, died at St. Louis on the 9th ult. of apoplexy, aged about 69 years. The recent storms on the lakes have proved very disastrous to shipping, and many lives and much valuable property have been lost.

We have received our despatches from India and China by the overland mail via' Mantellke. The mail was considerably overdue, the steam packet harin g suffered delay in the Mediterranean. The advice. by this arrival are to the to:lowing dates: Bombay, Nov. 3; Calcutta, Oct. 22; Nladras, l Oet 29; Hong Kong, Oct. 15; Caoton, Oct. 14 ; Shanghai, Oct. 8. Among the Indian intelligence, the first place is again due to the Persian expedition. Apart from this enterprise, in which the Indian governmi at is not concerned as • principal, there is tranquillity throughout the land, and peace on every frontier. The cold season has set in early. Food and employ. ment are plentiful, while if public improvement is proceeding slowly, enterprise is not altogether at a stand still. The Governor-General and Governor of Bombay are at the seats of adminiwration. Th. Governor of Madras is on hie way by Hurryhur to the Malabar Coast, proposing to meet Colonel Cotton, from England, at Sedasheghur, now under contem plation as a shipping Fort. THE PERSIAN EXPEDITION. According to the arrangements in force when the mail left India, the forces composing this expedition should by this time have arrived off litishire. The Bombay Times reports that, the expedition con sisted of twenty-six sailing transports or an aggre gate of 24,000 tone; of three of the P. and 0. Company's steam-ships, the Cbussn, Singapore, and Pottinger ; besides three loner vessels of the Bombay Steam Navigation Company, of an aggregate burden in all of thirty thousand tons, at a freightage charge of above a thousand pounds a day. The moo of war were nine first-class reamers—the Punjaub, Agsaye, Feroze, Ajdsha, Semiramis, Victoria, and Hugh Lindsay ; the steam tenders Napier and steam yacht Goolanar; the sloops Elphiostone and Give, at.d the brigs Euphrates and Tigris—or twelve vessels in all, the total fleet amounting to forty nil. A portion of these had been sent to Vingorla, to take on board her Majesty's 64th and 20th Native Infantry from Belgaum ; to Porebunder, to receive the 3rd Cavalry from Rajkote, and to Kurrachee to ship the Belo battalion, the 2nd Europeans, and Brett's Battery. The fighting men in all would amount to about six thousand, with about double this number of camp followers. Admiral Sir Henry Leeke, commander in-chief of the Indian navy, had been authorised to take the command." HERAT. The Indian papers, notwithstanding their comp.. mire proximity to the scene, are unable to speak confidently and with detail respecting the progress of the siege of Herat; in this contruting breathy with the Brussels journals, which from time to time report the capture of Herat with the fullest details. When the mail left it was generally agr,ed at Bombay and Calcutta that the town was not taken. SIAM. We read in the Madras Atheneum:—" The news that an attempt has been made to destroy the principal King of Slam has reached us by way of Calcutta. The facts will be leaned from the following n ivo forwarded from Rangoon toe Calcutta contemporery The King of Siam was invited, about two mouths ago, to an entertainment by one of his richest subjects, on a very grand scale. The King at once socepted, though Bina not in accordance with national customs (or his Majesty of Bankok to accept hos pitality at the hands of any *abject ; yet the grand scale of the preparations induced him to commit, en this eccaeon, a breach of royal etiquette. The Lag's brother, how. ever, had his auspicious about this grand entertainetest, and advised the King not to go, feeling certain that It wet Intended to do came grievous bodily harm to him. The King, having accepted, did not like to betray symptoms of distrust, perhaps with. net cause; so resolved on an eapedwnt, which was to send, dressed is hie usual royal attire,which may be presumed as prescribed for such en ems on, would be so bulky and extensive as to greatly conceal the person, a courtier who very much resembled the Kiel in height, figure, and face. The hour fixed for the King to go to the assembly less aboat midnight ; the pseudo Kirg recordiegly, (allowed by the regal retainers and moo of the court, arrived at that boar, sod was at once conducted t • throne pr. p,red for his &Nasty. No sooner bad be seated himwll than the whole elYstr blew up, destroying this man who bed been ambits. nate enough to be Ake tt.e Kieg, and seven other persona who stood near the throne. Thus wes the King of Stem's life saved by the sagacity of his bro her; and a valuable life his is, for be is a very en.ightrned man for an Agleam, and con write a letter himself io English. Whether this narra tive, which is believed to be strictly true, has eppeared I. the Calcutta or other lodise mere, the writer of these lines knoweth not.' " CHINA. SERIOUS DISTURBANCE AT CANTON. HONG KONG, Oer. 18. The mail steamer Malta lett this on the lath foe Ceylon with the letters to England. At the time of her departure the chief topic of interest was the state of matters to the northward, the progress of the rebellion, and the disagreement between the United States consul and the Chinese customs authorities at Shanghai arising out of the death of Mr. Cunning• ham. Since the departure of the Malta public attention has been arrested by the serious state matters have &seamed at Canton, and the probability of a rupture between our government and the Chinese arising out of the following circumstances. The Chinese man darins seized a vessel (leech') under English colours, and out off the heads of the crew. The British consul demanded au explanation, but the mandarins had thought proper to give the consul no reply. Commodore B. Elliot, of H.M.S. Sybille, seized a mandarin junk, and sent her into Hong-Kong, from wheooe she managed to map, during the night. H.M.'s steamer Sampson, Commander Hands, with H.M.S. Encounter, left Hongliong at 1 p.m. today (Oct. 18th) for Whampoa, with a large force of ma- rines and bluejackets. Admiral Sir Michael Seymour is fortunately on the spot, and, it we may judge by his recent determined conduct at Japan, he will not be disposed to stand much, if any. nonsense. It is both expreed and hoped that his Excellency Bir John Bowling will insist on the gates of Canton being opened this time, for until free admittance is obtained into the city we cannot look for that respect and security which guarantee the continuance of peace and the advancement of trade. The circumstance of our having a large fleet of ships of war in the China seas offers a very favourable oppoeunity to adjust several matters which have remained long out standing. ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH REVOIXTION.—• On Seturday, befog the 28th annivereery of th• Polish Re- Tahiti= of 1830, the Polish coats attended the (enema service, whica was performed by the 1t...
