Mn. CRAM= DicKirres REAM:NOS car PARIL Mr. Charles Dickens's saris at the Embassy, for the benefit of the British Charitable Fund, has been a greet micas, writes our Paris correspondent. he read an abridgment of " David Copperfield," so skilfully arranged as to make a complete drama, with a light and serious plot interwoven. Lord Cowley'. large drawing-room was quite filled by a fashionable audience—ladles, all In evening dress, forming the majority. The reading lasted scarcely more than an hour and a half, and it is wonderful to think what varied emotions pared through the mind in that short apace of time. Mr. Dickens does as he likes with his audience. They are as clay in the handset the potter, and take any shape that he desires. The transition from the roars of laughter at Micawber and Mrs. Crupp, to the solemn silence with which the pathetic story of Peggotty and Emily was lis tened to, struck me u a marvellous homage to a muter mind. I am told there were about 300 people in the room ; and as the price of admission was 20f., lir. Dickens moat have the gratifying reflection that besides affording immense pleasure to countrymen abroad, many of whom knew him in former days, end were rejoiced, alts long absence, to see him looking young and well, he has been the mean. of putting a hand some sum into the treasury of an excellent charity.

Harms Vernet, the popular French Fainter, died on Saturday morning. As is well known, he had been ailing for a long time, and for some weeks past there had been little hope of his recovery. Emile Jean Horace Vernet, the deceased, was born in Paris on the 30th June, 1789, his family having for many years been distinguished; in French art. His grandfather was a very celebrated marine painter, and his father excelled as a painter of horses and tattles. Horace principally studied under his father, and at the age of twenty produced his first work—a battle piece. His talent was at once recognised ; he soon obtained favour at the Imperial court, and was decorated when be was only twenty five years o f age. During the Reiteration, he gained in popularity, and the government, which at filet had treated him with neglect, found it more politic to give him several commissions, and otherwise to recognise his talent. Upon being named some time after director of the School of Rome, he went to Italy, studied there the masters of the 16th century, and returned tolFrsnce in 1836. He had now become the favourite painter of Louis Philippe; who gave him a commission to decorate the Constantine Gallery at Versailles with pictures representing the triumph of French arms in Algeria. The artist completed the commission in six years, during which he visited Algeria several times. Louis Philippe was so gra tified, that be offered to make Horace Vernet a peer, but this honour the painter refused. Subsequently he had a dis agreement with the King, and went to Russia. There he was enthusiastically received by the Emperor Nicholas, and upon his return to France Louis Philippe received him again into favour. Under the present I Emperor he has stood his ground not only with the court, but with:the public. Horace Vernet bad wonderful facility of execution and remarkable activity. His pictures have been always popular in France, where the achievements of the French arms— and it was in delineating these that he excelled—seem to have a special fascination for all classes. He has been called the Scribe among painters, aid his works, both by their number and their character, may fairly be pieced on much the same intellectual level as those of the fertile but by no means profound French dramatist. " Advices from Turin," ssys the Pattie, state that N. Phocion Roque, Chargi d'Affaires of the Greek Government, a few days since verbally asked Count Puo bui, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, whether the Italian Government would sanction the candidateship of • Prince of Savoy to the Greek throne. The count, after having moulted with his colleagues as the subject, is said to have replied that however flattering the offer might be for the dynasty of Victor Emmanuel, yet the government must decline the candidateship, as the election of • sou of the King to the throne of Greece might affect the good rela tions of the Italian government with its allies. This cate gorical reply is said to have been communicated to the repre sentative* of the Great Powers at Turin, as well as to the diplomatic agents of Italy abroad." The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Delta, Captain Weeks, with the heavy portion of the above maila, including 108 boxes saved from the Colombo, in charge of Post-odice Marine Clerk B. Perkins, due on the 20th, arrived at Southampton on Saturday afternoon. She brings 52 peassugers, amongst whom are Admiral Sir James Rope and Secretary, from Calcutta ; Captain Sir M. WOregor, R.N., from Sydney; and Captain Butts, from Ceylon. 1 EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor OUR OWN PARIS, SONDAY Emma. The Proem says that after the debate on the ad dress fresh negotiations will be entered upon, with a view to the settlement of the Roman question. The " basis " of these negotiations will be the guarantee of the present pontifical possessions with full liberty for the Pope to reserve his right to the lost provinces in any form be may please. But "above all" the cabinet of Turin mast speak out in a " direct and definitive manner." "If the Italian government should repeat its declaration that it maintains its pretensions to have Rome fee its capital, it would be an established fact that aa arrangement is impossible, but that the obstacles come from Turin." This is a very threatening paragraph to Italy, but as to the negotiations alluded to they are all raVecabias.. It is well—hewn that the Italian cabinet willnotrenounce the pretensions in question. All that can be meant, if the France is now rightly informed, is that M. Dronyn de Lhuys intends to furnish the Pope with a new excuse for making no reforms, and his own government with a further pretext for keeping possession of Rome, by shifting the charge of obstinacy from Rome to Turin. The old battle-ground of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem has just furnished a new subject for diplomatic dispute. The French and Russian architects sent to repair the cupola cannot agree. The Greek patriarch says that the French plan is too favourable to the "interests " of the Latins, and so there must be a new diplomatic conference. The French press was invited to Mr. Dickens's reading at the embassy. Their system is to give theatrical and literary criticisms only once a week. In due time I have no doubt that most of the feuilletons will contain elaborate criticisms upon Mr. Dickens, and English literary taste as connected with the popularity of his works. Meanwhile I extract from the Temps, the only journal which has yet published a review of last night's memorable entertainment, some very striking remarks. It is difficult to explain to the French public what the English call reading. It is a mixture of the pulpit, the homily, the magic lantern, and the spectacle—the spec tacle, principally, for it is r a substitute for theatrical amusements which were long prohibited by English religion, and as a consequence prevented to • peat extent from' taking root in English manners, that public "readings' grew into vogue. [The critic here evidently confounds "readings," which are • very modern institution, with • certain description of time-honoured " lectures," which are no doubt frequented by many scrupulous people who love entertainment like the rest of the world, but would not go to a play.] reader in France at all comparable to Mr. Dickens ; he is the ideal of the genre. He is, indeed, • reader who dor not read ; for he knows by heart the work of which he recites um an abridgement. The book is before him, but he scarcely glances at it. He recites, he describes, he acts, be mimics, and represents every personage with a variety of intonation, • truth of accent, and a power of realisation which is truly marvellous. For two hours he captivated attention without appearing to feel, and what is more, without causing the least fatigue. . . . . After having seen and heard Mr. Dickens, one is more curious than ever to read his novels—so entirely does the genius of observation seem to be incarnate in him. . . . The actor and the academic reader may learn much in the school of Dickens. Such purity of diction and • voice so pliable and so powerful 'are very rare indeed. We regret that there were not more French people among the audience, for, even without understanding the lan guage, they would have been struck with the wonderful talent of the reader. It is true, however, that French opinion would not be very favourable in principle to th e idea of • celebrated writer making a show of himself, even for a charitable purpose. Shakespeare and Molire acted in their own plays, it is trite, but would they have done so if they could have helped it' . . . However, the atten tion of the audience, the consummate art of the reader, the success obtained, disarm criticism in this case. . . Reading, however, is an entertainment that will never become acclimatised with us. The reli gion of the Englishman, which does not allow him to see a comedy acted at a theatre, permits him to hear a comedy read by a celebrated author. The religion of the Frenchman, which enjoins hint to damn the comedian, does not prevent him from going to a theatre to laugh at a comedy. K de Persigny is pursuing his crusade against the press with a recklessness most damaging to the government which he thinks to serve. The recent warnings, inflicted for the most trivial and, some , times, altogether inexplicable causes, are quite in consistent with the liberal professions of K de Persigny; himself, as well of the latest minis terial manifesto in the "yellow book." I am persuaded that the Emperor will shortly feel called upon to repudiate some of these warnings. As it ia, all the independent press is terror-stricken, and has resolved for the moment to write no original articles upon internal affairs. The government will be the. first to lament when it finds all tongues but those of its flatterers hushed. The Journal de la Cott d'Or has just received a warning which though signed by the prefect, "Baron Bry, Com mander of the Legion of Honour," is expressed to be given at the instigation of M. de Persigny for "an article ou Mexico, containing calumnious allegations tending to cast disconsideration on the government." By way of • makeweight, and as if the former offence was not quite enough, the warning is further based upon the considera tion that the journal published the false news that M. Nigra bad gone to Turin on account of grave diplomatic difficulties. That " false news " was at the time generally believed in Paris, was published by government journals, and sent to many parts of Europe by telegraph. Nothing can be more childish than to punish a country paper for echo ing what was the town-talk in Paris. The Daily News is seized.

[Stamped, id. Additional.] RECEPTION OF THE PRUSSIAN AMBAS- HADoi AT THE TIIILILEIE& The Moniteur of yesterday oontains an account of the reception of the Prussian ambassador, Count Goats, at the Tuileries on the 17th inat, Upon being received by his Majesty the ambassador said : _ _ _ _ Sire,—l have the honour to ,deposit in the hands of your Imperial Majesty the letters which accredit me as aides sador of the King, my august marten, at your court. In conferring upon his representative the most elevated diplomatic rank, my sovereign found himself in accord with your Imperial Majesty ; it is a fresh evidence of the friendly relations happily (aiding between France and Freesia. These relations are in conformity with the sentiments and tbs desires of the Rios ; they respond also to the true in terests of the two nations, which fully appreciate the ad vadages of them. The treaties of the god August, destined to inseams the osemercial relations between the two countries and to open out fie then a new path of prosperity, will dresigthse still more the ties of frieolehip which mite them. Delighted to be caned upon to cultivate such valuable re lations, I am emboldened to bops, Sire, that in devoting all my cares to them I shall succeed in obtisiaing the distin guished favour of your Imperial Majesty. The Emperor replied in the following terms : I eagerly accepted the proposition of the Sing of Prunes to elevate our legations to the rank of embemier ; it is a fresh proof of the friendly sentiments which ant mate the two sovereigns. Sine* I have presooally known him whom you represent I have always desired our relations to be mare intimate. I hope it will be the same with the two countries when the multiplicity of com mercial ties has enabled them mutually to appreciate each other. You will receive among us the most cordial wel come—the selection of your sovereign, the nation to which you belong, your personal merit, all guarantee it to yon. The new ambassador then withdrew with the members of his embassy who had accompanied him to the palace. JEFFERSON DAVIS'S NEW MODE Or WARFARE. The New York Time, of the sth says :—" The amounts from the battle-field near Murfreesboro' reveal • new phase of rebel atrocity in the treatment of their late slaves. Every black teamster, or black follower of the Union camp, captured by the rebels, is immediately shot No has than twenty were found thus murdered, and lying along the Murfreasboro"pike, after the recent rebel raid upon Rosenmanz's wagon-train• This is, ea , doubtedly, the inauguration of the mode of warfare indicated by the late proclamation of Jefferson Davis. It is not literally within the terms of that document, but is in accordance with its temper, and no very nine discrimination will be observed by the rebels in executing the spirit of the renguinary order of their chief. At Murfreesboro' only the nepoes found in the national service were butchered. Next we shall hear that whites and blacks, when found together, will be indisori minately shot, and then will ensue oompliosti•a which all Christian people will shudder to contemplaw. It is bard to account for the ruthless spirit that thus butchers • mild and inoffensive race of people on any other ground than the irredeemable moral callousness pro- duced by the institution of slavery. The Degrees of the present day have served their Southern me ten faithfully for years. Their ancestors served the fami lia of the whites faithfully in the generations that are past ; and by their labours the blacks of the past and present have built up • greet name, wealth and power for the South. Surely the race is entitled to some gratitude, if not reward, on the more of t►e past. But the cruel rebel masters do not see it thus. Their poor slaves desired liberty—nothing more ; and when caught in the act of enjoying it, however innocently, the penalty is instant death by a ball through the leak. Surely Gad will not prosper a cause so fiendishly cruel" It is related that wham M Orabow, President of the Prussian Chamber of Deputise, arrived the other day in Berlin, the octroi people at the gate bad their suspicions aroused by the vast bulk of a chest that accompanied him. It was far too much baggage for any ordinary traveller, and they fancied that the respectable-looking elderly gentleman who owned it wished to smuggle in provisions liabip to toll, with which he proposed nourishing himself economically during his stay in Berlin. So the chest was opened ; bat instead of its proving to be a travelling larder, it was found to contain only the intellectual and political nourishment since served up to the deputies on their well-covered table in the form of nearly 200 addresses and upwards of 200,000 avatar*. The last accounts received of Madlle. Emma Livry, who was so severely burnt at the Grand Opera, Paris, about nine weeks since, are not favourable. The burns, which were nearly healed, have again broken out, sod her position, after so much suffering, is said to be pre carious. She is replaced in her favourite part is the Mudge do Partici by Madlle. Marie Vernon, a young and promising actress. Carron PROM MEL Er.—The Smyrna Mail of the 31st ult., after alluding to the interest attaching to the opening of the Smyros and Aidin Railway Company, by means of which Ephesus is brought within ten days' jour ney of England, nays :—" But this is not the only advan tage which has accrued from the opening of this railway so far ; it has laid open a fertile tract of land capable of every cultivation, and adaptable more especially to that of cotton. Oar columns have daily been nearly filled with the reports of the cotton commission which has been established here, and the exertions which have been made, not only by the imperial government, but by private individuals, to increase the growth of this important staple of English requirement. Continually have we urged upon onr friends io England the great efforts we are making to alleviate their wants, and bow desirous we are of showing that Turkey, under the good administration it is now, is capable of becoming a country from which the introduction of exporting large quantities of cotton may even help to rival America. The 12,000 balm of last year have augmented to above 60,000 this season, and will next season Masses to above 100,000 bales, which shows not a email item for the capabilities of Asia Minor to supply cotton, considering the rude mode of cultivation hitherto adopted. Facts will, however, speak for themselves, and the public throughout the world will know in time the value which our journal has hitherto been in promoting the publicity of cotton cultivation here." THE CABE or THE Rzv. ME. M'LAuonuN.—At the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, cm Saturday, the court gave judgment in the case of the Rev. Patrick M'Laughlin, the Roman catholic priest. The Lord Justice General (IPSeill) delivered the unanimous opinion of the seven judges, which was to the effect that Mr. Wlenghlia, however unintentionally, had been guilty of contempt of court. Whatever privilege of confidentiality the law might allow in certain circumstances between a penitent criminal and his 'Mellott' adviser, the privilege could not extend to a cue like the present, where the question related not to any communication between the penitent and the clergy man, but to an act of the priest himself. With regard to the limitation of the oath, that procedure was altogether a mistake on the part of the justice, and it did not in any respect take away the obligation of the witness to tell the whole truth, inasmuch as that obligation rested on the common law and not on the form of the oath. Their lord ships, however, in eonsideration of the priest having been led into some confusion as to his obligation by the conces sion of the jostles, and in consideration of his exertions to repair the offence the culprit had committed, resolved to mitigate the sentence to the term of imprisonment already sawed, and to suspend the further execution accordingly.

A conference of gentlemen was held on Saturday at the Clarendon Rooms, Liverpool, "to consider what steps should be taken to bring the policy of the American govern ment on the slavery question fairly before the public mind, with a view of promoting inquiry, and eliciting opinion as to the duty of England in relation thereto." The cute of the meeting was mainly Northern, though Mr. Space (the author of " American Union ") sad several other gentlemen of known Southern tendencies ware present. Mr. Jour CROPPER, who woe celled to the chair, ob. served that the time had arrived when Englishmen should have an opportunity of expressing their sympathy with the movement in America se regarded the enemipation of slaves. The great question which sow troubled America originated in that vast sin. (Hoar, hear.) He was sot there as a politician, but he could not help expressing his confi dence that the danger which was suppoeed to be imminent lay not in the proclamation of emancipation, but in the re sistance to it ; not in carrying it out, but is the attempt to regabjapte the disenthralled slava. This was the sole muse of the massacre at St. Domingo. In conclusion, the chairman annouead that the Lembo Emansipatioa Society I intended to hold a seeds* on the subject on the 26th ina. Mr. Romano° GrAnerorri hoped that the meeting would sot only dad with the pastas of slavery, but with other matters also which, by the enemies of the Federal go vernment, were made the pounds for accusing that govern. ment of dishonour and cruelty. The Rev. C. M. Bulgur. (Baptist) then moved the fol. lowing resolution :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the war now raging in the United States of Amorist origi nated in the institution of slavery, sad in the antagonism which that system inevitably present* to the institutions of freedom ; that in the great asthmal aide now nested by the announcement of its emancipation policy, the Federal government is entitled to the generous sympathy of free Englishmen and to the moral support which such sympathy always affo rds ; that to insure this front the inhabitants of Liverpool it is now deemed advisable, by means of lectures sad paWb discusgions, to fully instruct the public mind on the tens conditions of the American question, preliminary to • general agmepte meeting for the adoption of an adders to President " In moving the remattion Mr. Bina said, though it was too late in the day, especially is Eng land, to dame the abstract question of slavery, ft cuss no means too late, but the enact moment h which Englishmen should make their voices heard in Wens of those eh° seek to establish universal freedom. He wan not there as a Northern or Southern man, but simply sea man holding the rights of • man, Lod prep ared; to act is defence of those rights. There was a question in Amelia now under decussion, apart from the political wormiest, of the great conflict—s question of humanity, is which Englishmen were interested and had • right to ewers their opinion. Mr. Cass. WILSON seconded the resolution, and warmly vindicated the sincerity and legality of President Liaeoin's conduct and policy. The President had not beta two years in office, but he had accomplished more than the most ma rline friend of the slave bad dared to hope. The oesetitn. tion denied the President the t of meddling with slavery in loyal States, and be could not, thereinto, claim emancipation in them, but he came [attend with a power of compemathio for the slaves of all not in rebellion. In all owes the President bad gone as far in the direction of omuripation se the law permitted him to do. ROBERTSON supported the motion. As long as it was a matter of belief that the policy of the North wait Umply that of the restoration of the Union, without regard to the question of slavery, he could understand many Englishmen standing aloof from, or remaining indifferent or adverse to, that policy ; but now that Chars was so doubt as to the policy of the North on the question of slavery, it was right that they should be informed that Englishmen endorsed that policy. Though on the political part of the question there might hitherto bare been differences of opinion in England, yet when they saw the second Aker in the Confederate States coming forward to declare that " slavery was the corner-stein of their new institutions," Mr. Robertson thought it was time for English sympathisers with Southern independence to denounce such a policy. _ _ Mr. J. SPIZCZ objected to the portion of the uscaution which =premed " a generous empathy with the action of the Federal government in this matter." He was one of those who, on the political part of the question, amps thised with the action of the South, and desired itainde pendeooe. He also desired the extinction of slavery ; and the true mode to cause this extinction, he believed, would be the establishment of the Southern i ndapeudeoce. (Cries of " No, no," and cheers.) Slavery had grown up under the shelter of the Union to an extent which was perfectly marvellous ; therefore the dis ruption of the Union was a very likely means to abolish it. In fact, slavery would have been abolished in the Southern States many years ago but for the very oourse of agitation which they sow desired to follow, and which produced • resistance and irritation which tended to rivet more firmly the fetters of the slaves. George Washington, Madison, Mon roe, Jefferson, and many of the most eminent men the country had produced, were slave-owners. Eighty years ago, however, slavery was regarded as a temporary and de plorable evil, which it was hoped it would please Prowl. denoe to extinguish, and the reason for the change of opi. nion in the South was the fanaticism with which the North had been agitating for abolition. We were ourselves slave. holders thirty years ago, and to the hugest extent and in the most offensive manner upon earth ; but instead of abolishing slavery woad we not have been rather driven to an opposite course had • virulent denunciation of ourselves and our slave system been got up on the Continent ? (Cries of " No, no.") Let some rational and businesslike mode of removing the evil be dewiesd which as nun of business they could approve. But there was not a particle of wisdom or principle in the recent measure of the Presi dent. In fact, President Lincoln bad himself declared that he wool] free the slaves if it suited his purpose, and it not would keep them in slavery. Mr. Spence believed that the President having abandoned the hope of subduing the South, had issued the emaneipation proclamation as the only possible means of effecting its humiliation sad rain. He himself believed that the President was too kind-hearted to have trued the proclamation if he had not thought it would have been null sad void. It must either be null and void; or one of its results must be a revolt of the slaves, which would be attended by enormous bloodshed end dest ruction of property. The slaves, however, must ultimately sue. comb, for while they numbered four millions, the whites numbered eight millions, and in this respect there would be no parallel between the revolt in St. Domingo, where the slaves had an enormous numerical superiority. Alluding next to the recent article in the Times, to the effect that a strong argument might be built up for slavery on Scriptural grounds, Mr. Spence said he was prepared to support that assertion, and to refer to the LasMein the Bible itself. [This s tatement, however. s s o much excitement and opposition, that Mr. did not pursue this portion of his argument further ' conclusion, he argued that the words of the resolution, if adopted as proposed, would be disastrous to the cause of emancipation that we had no right to interfere with the domestic affairs of America, and to leave Cube, BreA and the King of Dahomey out of the question; that meddling with the question of slavery on the American issue bad an ugly political appearance, and that we should deal with it on broad and general grounds only. MS PAITELBON replied to Mr. Mr. Spence with much eio. queue and force. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was carried by a large majority, and a committee was afterwards sp. pointed to take measures for carrying it into effect. POACHING IN THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S PRISZEVIES.-0. Saturday last • labouring man named Austin Nessus was brought up in the custody of one of the Kent county oanstabulary, and placed at the bar of the County Justices' Office at Canterbury, before Mr. William Delmar, Captain Mettle'', and three other county justices, on the charge of having been found in Covert Wood, in the parish of Barham, belonging to his Gracie the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the 14th of December last, with intent to poach. From the statement of Edward West, a keeper, it appeared that as the eight in question three diets were fired, sad shortly afterwards footsteps were heard in the wood. The keeper then hid himself, and the defendant approached to within about two yards before observing him. Ile then ran hack to a man named Cock, who was a little distance behind. The keeper followed, and ascer tained who the parties were. Each of the men had • gen—one loaded and the other not—but no Clof any kind was found in thei r p osses sion. ,' both absconded the same night. On Neatue's return be was immediately apprehended, and now plesdedguil to the charge. The beach sentenced him to be imp.a with hard labour, for a period of sic weeks , and at the end of that time to find sureties not to commit the offence again for one year, himself in 101. and one surety of 101.. or two sureties of each. lu default, to be further int. prisoned for • term of sic calendar months. The man IMO removed from the bar evidently astounded at the punihs meet awarded him, his position being such as to render lb a matter of almost impossibility for hint to podium the required sureties. En sentence, therefore, virtually amount' to ocie of seven mouths sad • fortaight'a inter. wad= in the county gaol of St. Augustine's, Canterbury.
