THE establishment of People's Parks in our large manufacturing and commercial towns is a felicity quite peculiar to our own day, a strictly modern fact, , and it is at the same time one of the most gratifying signs of our social and political progress as a nation. Until quite a recent period, excepting in the single instance of the Metropolis, Parks belonged only to the privi leged claimeabeing wholly identified with the royal or noble owners for whose use and pleasure they were in the main sacredly reserved. Close to , many of the large towns were magnificent parks and pleasure-grounds, within whose dividing pale, from year's end to year's end, only a single house hold or a select circle ever entered, while the pent-up dwellers in those towns had no means whatever of open-air recreation I except at too great a distance for any but': vagabonds habitually to enjoy. The rapid deve lopment of our manufacturing, mining, and commercial industry has no doubt tended, as Lord Russem. points out, to increase these evils. The rapid multiplication of mills and workshops will soon, even in the most rural districta, absorb the village green, turn the way-side stream I into inky slush, and cover the adjacent fields with • msas of densely-populated, squalid tene ments. In • few years almost the 'only avail-' able recreation for a working man in such a dis trict after his day's toil is a pipe on the door step, • wrangle with his wife, or a pot with his companions at the beershop at the corner. But this serious. incidental evil of our pros perous industry is being rapidly corrected. In our day the vanished village green is restored on • scale answering to the enlarged requirements of a manufacturing town over those of a country town or a rural hamlet. Within the last few years many of our large towns, such as Salford and Halifax, have been supplied with magnificent People's Parks, and the boon has in most eases been the result of local munificence, the parks having been given in whole or part by merchants and manufacturers. Those whose capital has _ _ to listen to their grievances. " Let not the Re " formers say—When we ask for redress " all innovation ; when the Crown asks p i = " tion you unction a new code. tar 'Rare " not willing to go an inch—for Mkisters you go " a mile. When we ask for our rights, you ought " not to touch thelittlefinger of the Constitution— " butil* those in autboritydemand,inore power, " you plunge your knife into its heart." When Lord RCBBiLL used this bold and patriotic hui guage, all the world of fashion, influence, and power were against him, but he steadily fought the battle of popular rights, giving the best years of his life to the struggle, and eventually he triumphed. And amidst such welcome and striking illustrations of the beneficent effects of the victory, a reference to the cause is not only pardon able, but in a high degree encouraging and instructive. most largely profited by the modern concentration of labour have thus been amongst the first to recognise the claims of the industrial classes, by making permanent provision on • generous scale for their comfort, recreation, and enjoyment. Through the munificence of Sir DAVID BAXTIL, Dundee is now added to the DUNl ber of towns thus favoured. The beautiful Park which this publio-epirited merchant has pre sented to his fellow-townsmen was opened on Tuesday, Lord Russau gracing the occasion with his presence, and appropriately summing up the feeling which such an act naturally inspires : " Happy is he who can give to those 'in pope " 'lons city pent' • rest from exhausting toil " amid scenes which invigorate the body, and " turn the mind to the contemplation of the won " derful works of GOD." The political allusions of Lord Rcesaix's ad dress, if deficient in the charm of novelty, were nevertheless peculiarly fitted to such an occsaion. We have no doubt heard before of the noble lord's share in the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acta, as well as in the great Municipal and Parliamentary Reform. But for this very reason, because a reference to these measures is so familiar and commonplace, we are too much disposed to overlook the great social and political revolution they represent, and while enjoying the beneficent results of this revolution it is well that we should be reminded now and then of the struggles through which it was achieved, and learn to connect our superior advantages with . _ _ their trite cause. There a a far closer oonnimion between the Parliamentary Reform of tidily years since and the People's Parks of today than care less observers might be disposed perhaps to imagine. It was substantially the battle of popular rights and political justice against the combined forces of class, privilege, and accumu lated wrongs ; and its success gained for the people the position out of which People's Parks, popular education, and numberless other schemes of industrial elevation and social reform arose. That great instalment of pub lic justice, with the measures in favour of poli tical and religions liberty it produced, did much to remove the bitter alienation that had grown up between the governing classes and the people, est►blished an understanding between them, and laid for the first time a solid basis of future action for the common good. It is enough to glance at the history of this country during the years which preceded the passing of the Reform Bill to be convinced of this. We can hardly now even conceive of the terrible social and political condition of England during the fifteen years that intervened between the peace and the era of successful reform. The Government of the day was not only destitute of popular sym pathy and support, but waged an active and de termined warfare against the people. It was the era of the Hampden Clubs, the march of the Blanketeers, the so-called Derby insurrection, and the political trials for alleged blas phemy and sedition. At the time when Lord Rusastt first entered public life the govern ment of the day demanded and obtained from • subservient Parliament a suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, on the plea that the existents of clubs and societies in favour of Parliamentary Reform was a public danger, demanding this extreme measure. Then, as now, Lord Run= was the champion of public justice and popular rights, against the encroachment of arbitrary power and the selfish violence of • privileged class. One of his first speeches, it will be remain- bored, was against this unconstitutional measure, and referring to the much more serious dangers of the country when the Act was passed, he said, " We talk much—l think a great deal too much, " of the wisdom of onr ancestors. I wish we " would Imitate the courage of our ancestors. " They were not ready to lay down their liberees " at the foot of the Crown upon every 3.

BELGIUM. TRIUMPH OF THE LIBERALS. M. Charles Rogier, Minister of Foreign Affairs in Belgium, has been elected for Tournai by a majority of 494 votes over his opponent. The number of electors on the register is 3,330, and of these 3,030 went to the poll. This election had been looked upon as involving the continuance iu office of a liberal ministry or the ascendancy once more of a catholic or illtramontime party, and consequently much enthusiasm has been excited among the Belgian liberals by the result. ITALY. It is said that King Victor Emmanuel will take part in two great reviews in the month of October — one of the land forces, at Milan ; and the other of the naval force, at Genoa. A letter from Rome in the Dents gives a long account of an important trial which Las just come to an end before a council of war of the French army of occupation. Five "political" brigands— one of them being an ex-lieutenant of artillery in the Neapolitan service—who had been driven back into Roman territory by Italian soldiers, were tied on an indictment charging them with clandes tine enrolment, unlawful distribution of arms, and complicity with malefactors. Three of them were found guilty and sentenced to five years' imprison ment. The room was filled by the flower of the reactionary party at Rome, who were greatly an noyed at the conviction. Hitherto the individuals arrested by the French military authorities at Rome have been handed over to the Roman government, who released them forthwith. The Paris Prase gives some interesting details respecting brigandage in Southern Italy : A glum; at the Ita lian journals will convince anyone that brigandage hu recently warned proportions hitherto unknown. If, thanks to sonoceidve amnesties, political brigandage has almost disappeared, the brigands who make a tads of robbery and murder have become much more numerous, and are now regularly organised. Some of the bads consist of 80 men, others of eo, and they are con stantly engaged in conflict. with the troops and the National Guard. Some few days since one of these bads, in the neighbourhood of Agri, carried off the Bishop of Trope' sod a canon who accompanied him. A report from the Prefect of Benevento states that the bled of Canso has committed, in one month, 93 murders, Bred 22 farms, and massacred 5,000 head of farm-stock. The government, feeling itself pout:oleo to put down this evil, has just addraired a circular to the Italian bishops, rsgaeating them to recommend the parochial clergy ''to give their parishioners a true account of the cranes com mitted by the brigands, as much to inspire them with horror for these crimes as to prove to them that by their earation alone can the provinces become tranquil and enjoy the benefits promised by the new order of things, auctioned by the national vote and manifestly favoured by Providenon” THE LADY REBELS OF POLAND. The /wade Busse gives the following pic turesque account of the part played by the Polish ladies in the Polish limn:motion : The Polish ladies chiefly aid the inmureetion in the secret retreats of the domestic hearth and ,the hospitals. They stimulate the mange of the men in the bosom of their families ; they east* the martial ardour of sena, husbands, and lovers; they pas sleepless nights by the pillows of the agonised and dying, of whom they have no other knowledge than that of the wounds which they received in the sacred cause of the country. All the oombined resources of their feminine seductivenese, of their persistent affection, and of their inexhaustible patriotism, are employed in seta of heroic devotion and self , abnegation. They spend long hours in the prison court. yards waiting for permission to enter the cells and to visit the prisoners. Wherever a patriot has been the y. visit= of permeation or struck down in battle, the Polish wow as the first to afford consolation and assistance. Their prompt eadderias intelligence, joined to great natural teak nukes them powerful auxiliaries of the haul• radios We ma positively assert that were it not for the impeles and concurrence of the Polish women the movement would not have continued so long. It is the women who make the mast effective and daring spies; who are the safest agents for commoniotting impor tant information to the insurgents. The Nstionel Govern. mint confides le them the most difficult missions and has never had occasion to repent of the confidence so bestowed. Their ready Invention seggeste at critical momenta the most ingenious combina tions, which are afterwards carried cut by the bold and energetic hands of the Ines. At every turn we have to deal with Polish woolen and priests, and this is a power which we must take into account. (11117MB'S GREECE. ATHENS, Sart. 5.

It seems to be an ascertained fact that a Russian answer to the three notes is on its way from St. Petersburg. The Pays and France are both instructed to say that the announcement in the Moniteur that the Duke de Montebello leaves St. Petersburg on two months' leave of absence must not be construed as meaning anything more than it says. The Duchess of Montebello, with whom the climate of Russia disagrees, is really ill and wants a change. These statements are ob viously made for the purpose of replying before hand to the inference which the public will be likely to draw that the Duke de Montebello's conga is only the prelude to a diplomatic rupture. In this instance I believe that the semi-official journals speak the simple truth. All negotiations are at an end for the preaent. Russia has made a negative answer, which it is found convenient not to reply to ; the Cesar is going on a tour, and the Duke de Monte bello may just as well be absent from St. Peters burg for the next two months as present there, for be could do no good whatever. The following paragraph in this evening's Pays attracts attention from the faint way in which it contradicts certain rumours from America : A report was spread yesterday, and bee bees reprodaeed today. that there wee very serious new, from America. It was said in particular that an American fleet from the Northern States bed arrived before Vera Cruz. AU that we can say on this subject hp that the news is not In any way officially confirmed, and that it seems to us, moreover, very unlikely. As to other new, from America, sufficiently grave to cease serious satiety, we do vot know the source of it ; but we do know, also, that it is not supported by soy official information. An important revelation—a small foretaste of the disclosures which we may expect when the Corps Legislatif meets—touching the monstrous iniquities practised by the government agents at the general elections, has just been made by M. Lavertu jon, the editor of the Gironde, and the defeated candidate for Bordeaux. He was beaten, after all, by only forty votes, and the way in which this bare majority was obtained must necessarily lead to the annulling of the election unless every spark of justice shall be extinguished by overwhelming and unscrupulous power. M. Lavertujon did not dare to publish his protest in his paper. He did not even dare to make it at all until the expiration of three months from the time of the elections, and this because of a statute which makes it perilous to " denounce citizens," but which statute is only operative within three months after the offence committed. At length, however, and after taking legal advice, M. Lavertujon ban formulated his just grievances in the shape of a letter of complaint to the prefect of the Gironde. It is rather a surpris ing and to a. certain extent a satisfactory circum stance that the Journal de Bordeaux, the official journal of the prefecture, has published M. Lavertujon's letter, and therefore some in dependent prints have thought it safe to publish it also. It appears from M. La vertujon's allegations that various categories of non-qualified persons were permitted to vote against him, ex gr., 1. Non-naturalised foreigners ; 2. Citizens not having the legal conditions of age and residence ; 3. Unoertificated bankrupts. It further appears that when M. Lavertujon applied at the mayoralty of Bordeaux for a list of the electors who had voted, he was told that he could not have it in consequence of express orders from the prefect, Senator Pietri. The Nation, though a staunch Bonapartist journal, does not hesitate to L say that upon this subject the Corps Legieletif must know " the truth, the whole truth, and no thing but the truth." The Bourse, after considerable fluctuations, closed with little variation from yesterday's prices.

OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE. The select committee of ,the Rouse of Commons sppoisted to inquire into the present stole of the Rode distilled Commission, and *import to the house whether the ecebsiaatical revenues cannot be more advantageously administered for the interests of the church than they are at present, here agreed to the following report : That it is the opinion of this oommittee 1. That the Ecclesiastical Commission, as at present constituted, is objectionable. 2. That the Ecclesiastical Commissioners do not appear to bare any established system for ascertaining the locality and condition of the worst oboes of spiritual destitution in popu lous districts, nor any definite principle of action by which priority of assistance shall be afforded to such cases out of the large and rapidly increasing Nada entrusted to the com missioners for distribution. . _ . 3. That it is inexpedient that a central body should alone decide upon the boundaries of new districts sad subdivisions of perishes throughout the kingdom. 4. That the system of throwing permanently the adrai nistratioa of large properties scattered over the whole country into the hands of one central body is objectionable. 5. That, independently of the political objections to such a concentration of property, this system unavoidably con sumes a considerable part of the revenues of the church in the expenses of valuing and revaluing lands and tithes, in compensation to officers superseded, and in the maintenance of a large establishment of secretaries and clerks. Your committee beg to refer to the twelfth resolution of the committee of this house in 1856, viz.— " That the present system of management by the agent, of the Church Estates Commission should be reconsidered with e view to its greater efficiency and a possible diminution of expense," and to the evidence now taken before you r committee, showing that the system of management still matinees to be unnecessarily expensive ; and your com mittee are of opinion that this excessive expenditure is to be attributed in some degree to the fact that estates so widely dispersed are plead wider the management of one corporation. 6. That further expense is entailed by the voluminous and complicated nature of the accounts, which are diffi cult to be understood by anyone bet a professional *motto taut, and which have given aocanou for repeated inquiries by committees of the two houses of parliament. 7. That the system now pursued by the commission in the investigation of titles to 'sods given for sites of churches canoes unnecessary delay and expense. li. That the present system noomearily throws undue power into the heeds of the °flours of tbecommissiaa. 9. That—(l) The management of the property of the church ; and (2) The application of the surplus revenues of the church to the relief of spiritual destitution in popu lous plenee—be given to separate authorities. 10.

The bands got safely oat, when Boob after • heavy mask of falling machinery and debris was heani. It appear* that the engine house had been built over a boxed and deep well, which foisierly supplied the mill with w•ter, and the sides of which had fallen in, engulfing the engine. The chimney, fortunately, did not fell, but steps were at once taken to pull it down, or at any moment it might have given way. Other portions of the mill had to be rapidly propped. The mill was tanning full time, and the hands are coose quell, thrown out of employment.

On the Louisiana • side every bale has been burnt by the Confederate ca valry all the way from the Arkansas hoe. Not only have they destroyed the cotton, but they have burnt up all the gin houses and corn cribs. Probably three fourths of the negroes have gone over to the Federals sod the remainder have been run off to TOW by their owners. The dwellieg.houses have also been burnt, and nothing is to be seen all along but desolation. The am bask:vests have also been cot in numerous places, sod were the war to cease now, they could raise no crops in Louisiana until they were repaired. Oa the Mississippi side the cotton has also bees burnt down es far as 'irks burg; between Vicksburg and Natchez there is probably 1C3,0U0 bales of cotton ou the different plantations; and, as the United States forces recap, both they will make efforts to save this.
