would be tenfold more conducive to our safety and comfort than a trial for manslaughter once a year, or the verdict of a jury for twenty pounds and costs, occurring perhaps four times as often, as the penalty for a broken leg or fractured ribs.

ANOTHER death under the wheels of an omnibus has taken place, and the coroner's jury, though they have absolved the drivers and the owners from blame in this particular instance, have thought it right to append to their verdict a strong remon strance against the practice of " nursing," which they declare on their personal knowledge to be still in full force in frequented thoroughfares. So it would seem that the horrible spectacle of last August, when in one of our chief streets a heap of bloody sawdust marked the spot where a victim hadbeen slaughtered, has, ere September was out, ceased to act as a warning. The death of one female BLONDIN sufficed to stop the sacrifice of more lives in that particular form of sensational effect, but the death of an omnibus conductor is too trivial an item to prevent persistence in the sensation race of the omnibus, where the immediate . . prize is a few extra copper!, and the ultimate ambi tion the forcing a rival off the road. So be it. We must adapt our remedies to the evil, and as it would seem that omnibus owners are not to be restrained by sentiments of decency or of regard for the public safety, we must try to find out some other means of reaching their feelings. We know not whether in the scattered and voluminous police regulations of the metropolis there is any power to prohibit a practice which is the most dangerous that can be carried on in its crowded streets, and the great case of the Saloon Company against the General Omnibus Company, • few years ago, served only to show that if an indictment for conspiracy would lie, it was scarcely capable of proof. But if the law in this respect is inefficient, it moat be altered. We cannot continue to allow the greedy competition of those who pro fess to serve us to make our streets as perilous as • battle-field. Racing and " nursing" are amuse ments for which there can never be apology. They are not fair competition. Neither a new candidate, nor an old servant, has a right to damage his rival in that way. The public cannot gain by it, for its only object is to put an end to that fair competition by which alone cheapness and conve nience are to be attained. Thus there is neither reason nor sympathy on the side of those who choose to indulge in so perilous and iniquitous a means of raising themselves by crushing a competitor. It is, therefore, a fitting case, if any can be conceived, for intervention of the police to put the practice down. Let them, if they have not the power, be armed with the power of summoning eve'," driver who is seen racing, and the owners of every omnibus which is seen "nursing," and let sharp personal penalties in both cases put an end to a system which makes the traversing of our streets as dangerous as the walking in a fog along a railway line. In the matter of racing both parties are equally guilty ; in the matter of " nursing " there can be seldom any difficulty in discovering the real culprit; sad if in the former case it may be only the driven who are to blame, it must in the latter be alined always the owners. The apportionment of the penalty which we have indicated is, therefore, the fittest to reach the root of the evil, and there can be no doubt it ought to be strictly exacted. The liberty of the subject is carried a little too far when it is made to include the liberty of slaughter ing, and the name of free trade is abused when it is applied to proceedings whose object is at any hazard to maintain a monopoly. It would, indeed, be well if the immediate penalties of the police court could in other instances be substituted for the cumbrous and haphazard operation of a civil action for damages, as a restraint upon dangerous driving in the streets. At present there is no inte-ferenos with the cab or the heavy van which turns the corner at speed, unless an unlucky foot-passenger is killed or seriously damaged. And so, clever is the driving, and so preternaturally acute are the senses of the Londoner, that these accidents happen in an infinitely small proportion of the occasions on which they might reasonably be expected to result. The consequence of this comparative infrequency is carelessness, • and the accidents which do occur are generally traceable to the carelessness which is bred by the rarity of the penalty. But the accidents would become very much fewer than they are if power were given to the police to take note of those who are acting in such s way as to make them probable. This would be a constant and steady check ; the fear of an indictment for manslaughter, or an action for damages, is too remote to be practically effective. The rule by which police cautions, or summonses, would be guided, need not be different from that which re gulates civil liability. It is laid down by the judges that on approaching a crossing it is the duty of the drivers of carriages to look out for the foot-passengers, but at every other place it is the duty of the foot-passengers when eroming the street to take ears of themselves. There is reason and good sense in the distinction, and it poinA out a way of securing safety without inconveniently diminishing the speed of vehicles. To require that every driver should slacken his pace on ap proaching a corner or a crossing, so as to be able to pull up instantly on the appearance of any one in front of him, will not materially diminish the rate of our progress through the streets, and this is a Me which the police might very well be charged with enforcing. We must, indeed, consent to a certain amount of police regulation when we cease to be wanderers in the desert or herdsmen on the hills, and crowd together three millions of souls in one huge city. Acts harmless enough elsewhere become full of peril w►en done amongst a multitude. But prevention is better than punishmect, and a few slight fines or admo nitions inflicted every week for dangerous practices LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (ZZOTZIeII TZIAGIAMS.) AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 10.

(By tolographto Halifax.) THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1863. THE POSITION OF GENERAL ROSEORANS. THE RUSSIANS AT NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Sim 29, Emma. (Per the Arabia.) No fighting has taken place in Tennessee since the 21st inst. Unauthenticated rumours un favourable to Rosecrans and Burnside are current at Washington. Burnside was still at Knoxville on the 24th inst. It is reported that his resignation has been ac cepted, and that Hooker supersedes him. News from Charleston to the 25th inst. states that preparations for the bombardment were progressing. Meade's and Lee's armies were quiet. 10,000 Confederates are reported to have concen trated at Mount Jackson for a raid into the She nandoah Valley. The Albany court appears decided that green backs are legal tenders. The correspondent of the New York Herald asserts that it is impossible for Bragg to dislodge Rosecrans from his position at Chattanooga by direct advances. General Rosecrans could only be dislodged by a campaign in force against his com munications. General Grant is unable through sickness to resume active duty. The Federal troops repulsed at Sabine Pass are proceeding to Texas as rapidly as possible overland. The Confederates have been defeated in two engage , manta in the Indian territory. Female bread riots are reported to have occurred at Mobile. The women threatened to burn the city unless relieved, and were eventually pacified. A considerable amount of government cotton is arriving at Vicksburg. Great popular sympathy is evinced towards the officers and men of the Russian fleet, which, it is reported, will remain at New York many months. A dinner has been given to the Russian admiral at the Metropolitan Hotel. The admiral made a speech in which, referring to Rues* he expressed a hope that present circumstances would end peace fully. The Russians, however, were ready for any sacrifice, and as Moscow was burned so they would not shrink from burning St. Petersburg if necessary. If foreign nations were for peace, the Russians would receive it on honourable terms, and bless God for peace. The admiral's speech produced a great sensation. A speaker named Wallridge observed that Russia, in sending a fleet to New York, wished to have it where, at a given signal, it could sweep English and French commerce from ' the seas. Preparations are being made for *ball and public reception. The New York weekly bank statement shows a decrease of 1,000,000 dollars in gold.

Middling upland is quoted 83c. to 85c. No movement bas taken place on the Rapidan. General Rosecrana remained on the 30th ult, in a defensive position, the Confederates confronting him. In the battle of the 20th, General Bragg claims to have captured 7,000 prisoners, 30 cannons, 25 colours, and 5,000 small arms. General Hood waa not killed as reported. A plot has been discover-A in St. Louis to destroy all the Federal vessels on the western waters. The republican ratification meeting held at New York was largely attended. A conciliation policy was announced (1 denounced). Vice-President Hamlin said he did not believe that peace worth having ➢aid in any other direction than through force of arms. Some want the constitution as it is, and the uoiou as it was, but this they can never have. A public reception and a congratulatory address were given to the Russians to-day. One division of the National Guard escorted the procession up Broadway, which was lined by enthusiastic crowds. Admiral Leetgski rode in a carriage drawn by six horses, and was accompanied by Alderman Fro• meat. Yesterday the Russians visited the forte in New York harbour. At s banquet on board the steamer Admiral Paulding made s speech in which he expressed a hope that whenever it became necessary for America to fight foreign enemies, Russians would be found shoulder to shoulder with Americana. The British frigates Nile and Immattaliti, and the French frigates Guerra aud Belone, have arrived at New York Admiral Milne officially visited Mayor Opdyke. The Morning Post alluded enthusiastically to the admiral's visit to the mayor, and observes that the reception given to the Russians will not be extended to the officers of any other nation. The Russian war sloop Norvitch has been wrecked at the entrance of San Francisco. The officers report that the Japanese batteries at Vagoirinia had repulsed the British fleet. Mobile despatches of the 26th assert that the New Orleans Era mentions a Federal disaster in Louisiana, confirming the rumour current in Mobile that General Weitzel was defeated and killed at Napoleon, Louisiana.

The Brulau Gazette gives the following from Warsaw : An orphan asylum, founded two years ago in thin city by Archbishop Felioaki, wee intended to serve ea a model for all other establishments of the kind in the country. The troops yesterday morning took possession of the home, which is to be converted into a barrack. The directress of the asylum, being in no way prepared for such a visit, imagined, in her alarm, that the soldiers had come to carry off her children, and she made almost the whole of them escape by climbing over the walla and saving themselves by passing through the neighbouring houses. A rumon soon became current that the Russians were carrying off the children from the asylum in order to send them into the interior of the empire. In the Witna Co urier we find the subjoined : General Jimmie!! has addressed a letter to Prince fichiehmatoff, Curator of Public Instruction in the division of Wiles, on the subject of numerous pupils of the Li• thnanian colleges who have taken part in the imeurnotion. The general orders that parents or guardians shall be re quire' to give certificates, by which they promise that their children or their wards, who enter the college, shall not take any part in political dis turbances, and also bind themselves to pay • fine of from 100 to 200 roubles if such a thing should take place. The parent will be at the same time bound to give security for the payment of the fine. This is not all; the persons who furnish the pupil with lodgings must previously provide themselves with certificates from the local police, stating their good feelings with regard to the Russian government. They most also give a smitten engagement to inform the police in the event of any extra ordinary meeting of the college pupils takieg place at the residents of any of them, or in ease of any participation on their part in political manifestations. If they fad in thi-ie engagements they will, in addition to the serious responsibility they incur, be liable to a fine of 50 roubles.

ARREST OF FRENCHMEN IN POLAND. ANOTHER DUEL. (sox oux oval coaarAromarr.) PARIS, FRIDAT EVENWO. Most of the evening papers contain a letter, complaining of an arbitrary arrest of two French gentlemen in Austrian Poland, which is, I think, destined to make a great sensation. The writer is a young French barrister, K Ribot, who is secre tary to the eminent advocate K Desmarest—i position which fully entitles him to a fair hearing. His statement is that he left Paris on Sept. 2, in company with a student, IL Tournier, to make a long vacation tour through Switzerland, Lom bardy, Venetia, and Germany. They began by Switzerland, and strictly pursued their proposed itinerary as far as Vienna. There they were prompted by curiosity to go as far as Cracow—only twelve hours distant. Their passports were re gular, having been Maid by the Austrian am bassador in Paris. On arriving at Cracow the two tourists were made prisoners by • body of soldiers and marched through the streets to prison. Some hours later they were brought before a magistrate, and a Polish priest, who spoke French, was employed to interpret for them. They protested against their imprisonment, gave the simple history of their tour, insisted upon the regularity of their passports and the respect due to their nationality as Frenchmen. The magistrate smiled at all these observations, and sent them back to prison. There they were detained from Saturday night to Monday morning, and treated all the time exactly as criminals. They were guarded by sentries with drawn swords, who had orders to strike any head which might presume to protrude through the prison bars. Among their fellow prisoners were many Polish insurgents, taken by the Austrian troops for having violated the frontier in arms, and awaiting their removal to Olmutz. In the citadel of the latter town K Ribot says there are at this moment 4,000 Polish pri soners and 45,000 Polish muskets. As a contrast to this, and in proof of the mock neutrality of Aus tria, he affirms that there is not in Olmutz a single Russian prisoner, and yet the Russians have not always been victorious, and certainly some of them have been driven acmes the frontier with arms in their handswhen flying front Polish bands. On the Monday they were conducted, prisoners in third-class carriages, and seated between gen darmes, to Vienna. K Tournier, who while in prison at Cracow was attacked with articular rheumatism, was offered the alternative of being sent to the prison hospital, or undertaking the third-class voyage in custody. Arrived at Vienna, M. Ribot found means to write • note in pencil to the French ambassador there, which a passenger promised to deliver. Whether the Duke de Gramont ever got his letter or not he does not know, but certain it is that he received no pro tection from his excellency. The tourists were placed in an omnibus, and conducted, under a strong escort, to the Prison of Public Prostitutes, where they passed a whole night and the greater part of the next day. At 7in the evening they were sent off, in custody of five police agents, to Salzbourg, where they were set at liberty, and their passports were restored to them. On their passports, and exactly above the signature of the Austrian ambassador in Paris, were written these words, "Expelled from Austria by superior order." 31. Ribot has sent a statement of which the above is an analysis to M. Drouyn de Lhuys. lam inclined to think that this affair— far from being one of those troublesome and groundless complaints frequently made by ill conditioned travellers—will very considerably ag gravate the present difficulties between France and Austria on the Polish question. I bear that K Aurelien Scholl and K Granier de C•ssagnac, jun., fought • duel to-day with swords at Asnieres, near Paris, and that M. Scholl was wounded in the shoulder. According to one report his lung is touched, and the wound is serious. The Bourse rises because it believes that nothing will be done for Poland. The snot d'ordns given to the semi-official journals on the Emperor's return to Paris seems to be to enlarge upon the theme of the France, that the negotiations about Poland have resulted in a great diplomatic triumph—i.e., the tearing up of the treaties of 1815 ; and to talk big about Poland being "under the protection of Europe," while Russia is all the time cutting her throat. M. Paulin Limayrac has an article in the Constitutionnet, working out this theme in his usual wordy way, which is described by the Nation as an article °email. _ - What is thought of the Conetitutionners lulling periods by the French friends of Poland may be seen by the following extract from the Opinion Nationale, in which M. Gueroult says : The Constitutioancl eelebrates in three columns the beauty of the common understanding. It shows us Fiance united to all Europe—Russia isolated—end it rings a song of triumph upon this policy, which it hopes the French government will not think of departing from. As to our selves, who like to judge of a tree by its fruits, of a system by its results, we do not find that Poland has derived any benefit from the protection of its protectors. We find transportation, confiscation, the knout, and the bolter all doing their work more vigorously than ever under the eyes of the mach vaunted common protection. All that the common understanding has dolls hitherto is to show the common impotence. In another column the Opinion Nationale shows that these semi-official articles seek in vain to dis guise a policy which, in the words used by an eminent deputy in 1847, is simply " Nothing, nothing, nothing." The Pays says that Count M. Montholon, the newly appointed French minister in Mexico, will not go to his post till the " question of the weevi l tance of the crown by the Archduke Maximilian shall be entirely settled." Under these circum stances, I apprehend it will he a very long time before M. de Montholon goes out. A pamphlet has just been published by M. de Belleyme, a government member of the Corps Legislatif, which argues that with the election of the Archduke Maximilian the work of France in Mexico is terminated, and that the army ought to be immediately withdrawn, "France not remaining either responsible or so/idaire for the difficult con ditions in which the new Mexican empire will be placed." Here we get into a very vicious circle. The archduke will certainly never go near Mexico unless he is assured of the preeenoe of a French army for a long time to come. Coupling this pam phlet with the announcement in the Pays about M. de Montholon, I am inclined to think that there is a split between France and Austria on the sub ject, and that the question may be entering on what is called a " new phase." 0.01 2 0.10 6 0.13 2 0.1 I 0.16 3 0.08 1 6.47 1 2 0.16 4 O.

Mr. ;Beecher at the Free•trade Hall this evening was almost an ovation. Five thousand people were preseat. An address of welcome was carried. When the rev. gentleman rose to reply, an attempt at opposition was made by some friends of the Smith ; but the temper, tact, and eloquence of the speaker soon overcame it, and he was listened to for two hours, interrupted only by enthusiastic cheering. . . . A telegram from Liverpool, received daring his speech, was read to the effect that a government warrant had arrived for the seizure of the rams built by Leird and Co., and added much to the enthusiasm which pervaded the meeting. THE NEW M.P. FOR COVENTRY. TO THE ZDITOII 07 THE ZXPRE3& Sin,—The leading article in your impression of this evening on the Coventry election, states that Mr. Tr*. borne contested Coventry as a tory before the Reform Bill. This is an error. Mr. Treherne was a candidate for Cambridge after the Reform Bill on the liberal interest. After the passing of the Reform Bill a public meeting for the choice of candidates decided upon Mr. Pryme and the Hon. Mr. Osborne, now Duke of Leeds. Mr. Osborne de. dined, and the late Mr. Hovel, who was chairman of the meeting, brought forward his nephew, Mr. Morgan Thomas, now Mr. Morgan Treherne. The other leaders of the party, headed by the late Mr. Ebenezer Foster, brought forward Mr. Spring Rice, now Lord Mouteegle. Although Mr. Thomas displayed considerable ability, the liberal electors decided in f►vour of Mr. Spring Rice. It was perfectly understood ►t the time that Mr. Thomas was a liberal. Hi uncle, Mr. Hovel!, had, long before the Reform Bill, been a prominent supporter of the liberal cause in the town and county of Cambridge. He also received the support of other well-known liberals, particularly by the late Mr. Weston Hatfield, editor of the Cavnifridge In. dependent Press. When Mr. Thomas afterwards contested Coventry os anti-liberal principles, it is well known that his supporters at Cambridge felt themselves placed in a rather awkward position. This, however. was modified by the fact that the Coventry speeches of Mr. Thomas were not so decidedly tory as those of Mr. Treherne.—l am, Sze., Cambridge, Friday. A CAMBRIDGE LIBERAL.

In eon memos of recent alterations, a freshman now derives no particular advantage in having has name entered early oa the college books, and many do not enter or even choose their college, before the day they come up ; it is therefore as yet too soon to ascertain accurately what is the number of freshmen that will come up to each college this term; we believe, however, that we shall not be wrong if we my that, taking the university generally, it is considered s&at is usually called • "good year." The entries on the whole are as numerous as we can reasonably expect, for is sited recent improvements which render &degree-residence at the usiversity both shorter and cheaper, the run men who now come up are fewer in number than formerly, foe the simple but sufficient reason that there are now so many mattress of honourable employment which pay better and ty2Lukker than than profession@ to which a university is indisproothie.—Cambridge Isdepraciatt.
