The Emperor NAPOLEON has thought it neces- eery to take notice of the extraordinary references i to him in Mr. ROEBUCK'S speech of Tuesday last, and accordingly the Munitcur yesterday contained a short article on the subject which could only have been written by the EMPEROR himself. Mr. LINDSAY has also written to a contemporary, declaring that " what he (Mr. ROEBUCK) has 'stated is true ;" so that all the parties to the remarkable interview at Fontainebleau have now spoken. The EMPEROR'S statement opens with a sentence in which the object of Messrs. Rozsucx and LLNDSAY'S visit IS characterized. Mr. ROEBUCK has stated that he and his colleague went to France to clear up a misunderstanding, by I ascertaining the EMPEROR'S opinions ; but the EMPEROR'S words are that " Messrs. ROEBUCK " and LINDSAY visited Fontainebleau to engage " the EMPEROR to take official steps at London for " the recognition of the Southern States." This , is just what the public suspected ; this it is which has caused the outcry of disgust that has gone up from the whole country. We have now the highest warrant for believing, we are indeed ex plicitly told, that these two persons went to Paris to ask a neighbouring potentate to put a pressure upon the Government of our QUEEN, and so get by foreign aid what they could not obtain through the action of English opinion. Nothing can be clearer than the Estraaoa's statement, and this is its purport. _ . . . - The EMPEROR also notices to contradict another of Mr. Rotorua's allegations. After repeating the substance of the conversation at Fontainebleau, be adds : " These explanations will demonstrate that " the EMPEROR has not attempted, as certain pub " lications pretend, to influence the British Par " liament by means of two of its members." This remark shows that the Emerson knows what is due to the House of Commons. But what " publications " are here referred to ? Every newspaper that published a report of Mr. Rog- RCM's speech must be included, for it is really that gentleman's own statement that the Ex- PRIOR is refuting. " I know," said the Member for Bheflield, " certain things about the state of the " mind of the great French Ruler, which I am " authorised to lay before this House." The House received this assumption of the ambassadorial cha racter with laughter, but Mr. Roemer, although thus warned, proceeded—" The Emperor of the " FRINCII said, and be gave me authority to " repeat it here," fcc. And again, " I give you " full liberty to state this my wish to the House " of Commons, and to say to them that I have " determined," dm. The EMPEROR, however, now denies that be gave anybody authority to use his name to influence the British Parlia ment. These are matters of form, but very important matters nevertheless. We now come to the sub stance of the conversation. And first • most sig nificant omission is to be noticed. Mr. RonnucE had said : I asked his Majesty this. I laid before him two 000nsa. I rid, "Your Majesty mar make a formal application to England." He stopped me, and said, " No. 1 cannot do that, and I will tell you why. Some months ago I did make a formal application to England, and England sent my despatch to America. That despatch got into Mr. Seward's hands, and was shown to my ambassador at Wuhington, and it came beck to me, and I feel that I was ill-treated by such conduct. (` Hear, bear,' and sensation.) I cannel subject myself to the danger of similar treatment. Bat I will do everything short of it ; I will give you full liberty to state to the English House of Commons that this is my wish, and to state that lam determined in all things to act with England, and, more than this, that I wish to act with her as regards America." We have just seen that the EMPEROR disclaims the appeal from the Foreign-office to the House of Commons, so ostentatiously set out in this pas sage. But of the complaint of bad faith of the British Government in sending his despatch clan destinely to Washington he said nothing at all. And although Mr. LINDSAY affirms that Mr. Ros aries's statement " is true," yet it is impossible to believe that the EMPEROR had so far forgotten the facts an that gentleman would have us believe. The despatch referred to was only read to Earl Rua- SELL on the ICth of November. No copy was left at the Foreign-office, so that none could be sent to Washington, and three days after the reading the despatch appeared in the Moniteur. These facts have been stated in the Hones of Commons, and have been universally accepted as an utter refuta tion of the charge repeated by Mr. RORBCCX. That the Moniteur should pass that charge over in silence is very remarkable. The very brief portion of the EMPEROR'S state ment which has • positive character, although it is the only part that can be appealed to to give colour to Mr. ROEBUCK'S strange story, is far from bearing it out. Mr. EOZRUCE represented the EMPEROR as having said that he had instructed his Ambassador to state to the British Government that his feeling wee stronger than ever in favour of recognition, and to ask them " whether they would be willing THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1863. LAMBT INTELLII:LNOIs. "to join him in that act." The EMPEROR states that what he instructed his Ambassador to do fns,' , to "ascertain Lord PALMERSTON'S intention," and 1 RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. to give him to understand that "if the English I The cabinet of Vienna lately addressed a corn- I " Cabinet believed that the recognition of the , plaint to the Russian government specifying several " South would put an end to the war," then " the instances of the violation of the Austrian territory " EMPEROR would be disposed to follow it in that by Russian deischments.

The Bavarian Chamber of Deputies is dis cussing the address in reply to the speech from the throne. On Saturday the Chamber agreed to a paragraph recommending the institution not only of a central parliament, but also of another executive power than the Diet of Frankfort. This movement on the part of a na tion friendly to Austria is the more noticeable at the present moment when the Duke Ernest of Coburg, the patron of the National Verein, is sepa rating himself from Prussia, and is forming, or has ' already formed, an alliance with the court of Vienna. The suite consisted of the Viscountess Jocelyn, the Hoe. Mrs. Bruce, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Lord Alfred Paget, and Colonel the Hoe. Sir Charles Phipps. The Hon. Sir Edward Coat bad the honour to present to the Queen at Wiedaor Castle, on Wednesday, the " Anoals of the Wars," complete to 1815, • work com piled by the Lieutenant-General for the use of the naval and military services, which her Majesty was graciously pleased to accept.

The C.:ad, of the let, makes known some new atrocities on the part of Russia. In the streets of \Vilna some women, whose mourning garments had been brutally torn from them by the soldiers of Mouravieff, were defended by the crowd. The troops then charged the people with the bayonet, and 40 persons wore killed. Some women guilty of wearing mourning received as many as a hundred strokes of the knout, and were left in sensible, weltering in blood. Others are huddled together in the dungeons of the citadel. Several have died from terror and ill-treatment. Some have been found suffocated in their narrow cells ; among them Madlle. Marie Lapaswk, a member of lan illustrious family in the district of Lida. The prisoners, whose number increases every day, have only two pounds of bread and a litre of water per day. The Prince of Walee rode on horseback on Saturday morn ing, attended by Captain Grey. The Princess of Wales, attended by the Marchioness of Carmarthen, visited the Horticultural Gardens at South Kensington. The Princess Mary of Cambridge visited the Prince and Princess of Wales at Marlborough-house. • The Duke of Ilontpensier paid a visit to the Prince of Wales. The Prince of Wales, attended by Captain Grey, went to Twickenham in the afternoon, and dined with the Duke of Au male, at Orleans-house. The PrinDess of Wales, attended by the Marchioness of Carmarthen, took a drive in an open carriage. The Queen of Prussia visited the Princess of Wales in the evening. . . • _ The Prince and Princess of Wales attended divine service yesterday morning, in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The communion service was read by the Sub-Dran the Rev. It. Harvey and the Rev. J. C. Haden. The sermon was preached by the Rev. R. Harvey, from Luke, chapter $, verse 10. The anthem was " Praise the Lord, omy Soul," (Goes). Mr. Goss presided at the organ. The Prince and Princess of Wales were attended by the Marchioness of Carmarthen and Captain Grey. PRUSSIA. DISTURBANCES AT BERLIN. The Paris Prase of to-day says :—" Some dis orders have occurred at Berlin. Even barricades have been erected. We should add that if these disorders have no political character, they neverthe less reveal a state of excitement in the public mind which is calculated to produce profound reflection in the government. We see by them how thoroughly the ground is prepared for an ex plosion. Happily for liberty itself, which profits neither by street agitations nor by arbitrary excesses, the great Association which is being constituted will cause a diversion. This Association, which has for its chief programme the maintenance of the liberty of the press, is extending its sphere, and several new cities have joined it." The Archbishop of York, the Earl of St. Germans, and Viscount Sydney were present at the service. The Prince and Princess of Wales gave a dinner for her Majesty the Queen of Prussia last evening. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street. The ministers present were Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Sir George Grey, Earl Russell, the Duke of Newcastle, Earl de Grey, Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson, the Right Hon. Edward Card well, Lord Stanley of A lderley, and the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat on Saturday. A petition for a prolongation of Hill's Patent for the Manufacture of Gas (part heard) was resumed. Despatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial office from the Governor of South Australia. Despatches were sent to the governors of Canada and the Bahamas. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to leave Marlborough House for Fragmore to-morrow.

The Primer awns to sign her name as a fellow on an illuminated page, and to receive from Mr. Murray, the usistaut seeretary, the pre mutation of a copy of his new illustrated work, " The Book of the Royal Horticultural Society." Mr. Murray, in weeenting the work, had the honour of pointing out to their Royal Highoesses the various parte of the volume which were meat likely to be interestiog to them, and they ap rpleased with it, and graciously expressed their csatia iot The Queen had previously accepted a oopy of the work, and we understand that her Majesty had, MI a very gracious manner, directed Mr. Murray to be informed that she bad taken much interest in the publication, and was much pleased with the manner in which it had been got up—an expression of approval which is only another , Lion of the unabated interest which her Majesty takes in the society, and everything connected with it. The viaits of the Royal family to the garden during the part month have been frequent. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MX 0011 OWN C01111161.0NDZICT.) PARIS, BUNEIXY EVENING. - - The explanation of the Roebuck imbroglio, given by the Moniteur, calls forth the following important observation from La France : The 'tote in the Moniteur does not confine itself to the ex planation of a misuoderstandiog. It discloses an idea which is now for the first time formally expressed in the official journal, viz., that if the paci fi c proposals of France were now to be revived their direct object would be the recogni tion of the South. Six months ego that recognition was only presented u an eventual result of mediation ; but now in the view of the French government it is not the cessation of hostilities which would lead to the recognition of the South, but the recognition of the South which would, in all probability, lead to the cessation of hostilities. The Opinion Nationale, a partisan of the North, reads the Maniteur in the same way as the France. It says :—" A grave fact results from this affair, viz., that the French government by this new step has placed itself in antagonism with the cabinet of Washington." All the French papers seem to have had a mot d'ordre to represent that the bloody revolution in Madagascar was prompted by England out of jealousy of French influence. The Pays says that Mr. Ellis, an English missionary, "assisted" at the strangulation of King Radama and his minis ters. As if this story did not shock probability sufficiently, the France adds that this Mr. Ellis was himself assisted in the work by "his niece, a young person of great beauty," who was a friend of the wife of Renovolliivy, the chief of the con spirators. A price is said to be set upon the head of M. Lambert. M. Laborde, jun., son of the French consul, is reported to have been murdered. M. Laborde had struck his flag, and Mr. Paken ham, the English consul, had takeir refuge at M. Laborde's country house. The Temps says that after M. Drouyn de Lhuys' interview with the Emperor at Fontainebleau yes terday a cabinet courier was despatched to St. Petersburg. The news of a " military revolution in Athens," given by the Discusione of Turin, is not credited. The Emperor, in his character of " eldest son of the church," mike as a canon of the church of St. John Lateran at Rome. By way of showing his feeling of confraternity for his venerable colleagues, he has lately made them a grant of 24,000 f r. a year to be divided amongst them. The canons have addressed a letter of thanks in Latin to their "im perial colleague." As they get 1,000/. a year, it cannot be said in this case, qu'ils perdent fear Latin, SAVOY. OWN AN OCCASIONALCORRESPONDENTj AIY•EN•SAVOIE, JusE24. I have been endeavouring to ascertain the change made iu the condition of the Savoyards by the annexation of their country to France. The general I sense ofthe people does not seem to be very inimical to the result. They grumble a little, but any show of sympathy only brings out the assurance that it was their own choice ; nobody could have forced them against their will. The position of an invo luntary subject of the empire is one which Savoy is too proud to accept. On the whole, the differ ence made by the annexation is not very important. The taxation is raised considerably—a new tax on doors and windows being imposed, and the old tax on wine being raised insomuch that the quantity of vie du pays formerly sold for 50 centimes (half a franc) now costs sixty centimes. This and a similar rise in the price of brandy the people resent a good deal—and with some reason, for their local wines are extremely pure and wholesome. The terms of conscription in the French army are, how ever, some compensation to the Savoyards for their increased taxation, for they like them much better than those of the conscription of Italy. The Italians are obliged to remain with their regiments for five years, and then for six years more to be "dans leur foyer," at call for military service if required. The French are required to give eight years of full service with their regiments, and after wards are absolutely free. This latter arrangement seems best in all ways, as a man living at home under constant chance of being summoned to rejoin the army can hardly undertake any employment with hope of success. Another thing which re conciles the Savoyards to their junction with France appears to be the natural sympathies of the races. They are far more French in their patois than Italian, and it is said that no Savoyard and Italian ever intermarry, while there are abundance of intermarriages between the French and Savoyards. Among the curious detail! of Imperial meddling is a law making it penal for a medical prescriptiou to be given or made up except in French. It would be interesting to ascertain the results on the health of the community of this transition from Faith to Knowledge. The country, in an agricultural point of view, is almost as splendid as iu a picturesque one. Fields of wheat, rye, barley, hay, beans, and colza plants are crowded without hedge or fence for miles together, all displaying very fair farming, while among them all the mulberries and elm-stakes are laden with vines, which trail in garlands like those of Tuscany. One is reminded of the pretty anecdote of the Orleauist princess who, going to pay a visit a few years ago to her uncle, the Grand Duke of Lucca, imagined that the lovely country she beheld must needs have been adorned, especially with all its flowers and garlands, in honour of her arrival, and formally thanked the gracious sovereign who had provided for her so princely a welcome. Beside the corn and vines, and luxurious acacias and poplars, the country is rich with chestnuts and walnut trees lining the roads for miles together, and only permitting at intervals glimpses of the glorious snow-clothed Mont Cents or lovely lake of Bourget. Much of this good farming is done on the Metairie system, which certainly here works well enough. The leases seldom exceed ten years iu length, and when the landlord considers his tenant to be an indifferent farmer, it is quite a usual matter for Lim to make a change at the end of a lease—a transaction not regarded with any such animosity as follows similar changes in our country. A gentle man particularly well informed of the condition of the agricultural classes, affirms that he has never in his life known an instance of a landlord being injured maliciously by a Savoyard tenant. In truth their simple, courteous behaviour, and cheerful looks, impress a traveller very strongly on their behalf. Let us hope their good qualities will suffer no deterioration from their amalgamation with the French nation. The France says an imperial decree will shortly appear organising the fortified pinata of France upon a new basis. _ The annual contest of archers from all parte of England, Ireland, and Scotland, which during the lut nine teen years has taken place in York, Derby, Edinburgh, Leamington, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, Exeter, Bath, Liver pool, and Worcester, commenced in Oxford on Wednesday last, and did not terminate till Friday evening. There were 155 competitors-55 ladies and 100 gentlemen. Yesterday the general collection of Peter's Pence was made in all the Roman catholic churches of the Dublin diocese. A pastoral from Archbishop Cullen calls on the people to show the sincerity of their attachment to the Pope by assisting him in his time of need and persecution. " Would it not," be sake, " be most ungrateful to let him pine away in want, or to let him become the prey of his enemies!" There is an association for raising sopplies in aid of the Pope, called " The Association of St. Peter's Pence," and this association makes the arrangements for the collections. MONUMENT TO RU6GIEB.O BETTI3IO.—ThO Medi termite° announces that a subscription bee been opened at the ogee of that paper, for the purpose of erecting a monu ment in Palermo to the illustrious Italian patriot Ruggiero Settimo, and calls upon the Maltese, Italians residing in the islands, and the Meads of the deceased, to contribute to this object.—Jlalta Times. THE TRANSYLVANIAN DIET. The Diet of Transylvania is about to meet. One hundred and eight elections, the results of which are known, have issued in the election of 40 Magyars, 30 Roumains, and 32 Saxons. It is hoped at Vienna that the government party—the party, that is, which is favourable to the represen tation of Transylvania in the Rsdchsrath—will ob tain a majority over the Hungarian element, which wishes to persist in abstention. (urrna's mcosa.ms.) THE POLISH INSURRECTION. COLOGNE, JULY 5. The Cologne Gazette of to-day says :—" The re ports of the execution of Countess Plater and Franlein Terlenka at Wilna are not confirmed. A communication published by the A usbetrger Atte wise Zeitung from Cracow, according to which two central committees were simultaneously in existence in that city, appears equally devoid of foundation. Many Polish landowners Lave re cently arrived at Vienna from Volhynia, to await the progress of events. Among them is Count Plater, the only member of the family still at large." THE INSURRECTION IN DAGHESTAN. PARIS, JULY 6. The Paris papers of to-day publish a telegram from Constantinople, dated the sth inst., stating that the insurrection which had broken out in Dag hestan was spreading. The Circaasians had taken Zakatal, a fortified village. Two generals, ono of whom was General Citia neff, and 920 soldiers, were killed. Tit REVOLUTION IN MADAOASCAR.—The Mont tear of yesterday says : " We are assured that the Queen, in spite of cirmimstanoes, intends to uphold the treaties with European Powers, and to maintain liberty of worship and of commerce." A letter from the Hague states that the two Chambers of the States have voted • bill granting a cred.t to the Minister of Marine for transforming • part of the Dutch fleet into ironclad vessels. The two chambers have also adopted • literary convention between Holland and Spain similar to those which have been concluded by France with different countries. The Bank of France has published a notice to the effect that new I,ooof. notes will be issued this day, the 6th inst. They are printed in blue, and haws two distinct vignettes, one on the front and the other on the back. The old notes, printed is black, will be withdrawn from circu lation according as they are brought into the Bank. A Paris oorrespondent writes :—" A welcome postage reform is on the tapir —the redaction of the lax os letters to London to 21, and the increase of their weight to 15 grammes. At present when a letter exceeds 711 grammes it is charged double." The Roman catholic Archbishop of New York, Dr. Hughes, ham declared himself in favour of peace. At the dedication of a new Roman catholic church in New York, after • discourse on the purely religious aspects of the ceremonial in which he bore the most conspicious part, he touched in a few sentences on the question of the war. "Speaking for the Roman catholic, he would may that they bad so hand or pert in bringing about the condition of affairs which now distracts and afflicts the land." "Let us," he continued, "pray to God to have mercy upon the people of this country, and by some means, devised in His great wisdom, bring about an amicable termination of the struggle. That was a legitimate prayer. Aa to that there would, no doubt, be prayers upon both sides of the line. Differences of opinion most exist wi►h regard to the soeomplishment of it, but he was in favour of a happy termination of the present difaculties, oven though it should be attended by the division of a great people." THE MHOW COURT MARTIAL. The following is the copy of a memorandum of his Royal themes the Field Marshal Commaoding-in- Chief on the Mhow court-martial, meat pricately to Sir H. Rom end Sir W. Mansfield : " MEMORANDUM. " Horse Guards, February, 1863. - - " The Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief has had under his consideration the letter addressed by General Sir Hugh Rose to the Adjutant-General, on the 20th ultimo, on the subject of the late court martial in the 6th Dragoons. In reference to the observations contained in that document, and in others addressed to himself personally, his royal highness desires to assure Sir H. Roes and Sir William Mansfield that, in whatever respect he may have differed from the conclusions they may havearrived at, he is entirely convinced that they have both been actuated solely by the desire to do justice and to maintain the discipline of the troops submitted to their command. No doubt one of the chief mainstays of discipline is to be found in the support, by the superior officers, of officers in immediate command of regiments, where that support can be given with justice. The Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, therefore, full► appreciates the motives which led Sir Hugh Rose, Sir William Mansfield, and others to countenance Lieute nant-Colonel Crawley's conduct, as contrasted with those who have opposed him. In accepting the verdict of the court martial against Paymaster Smelts, his royal highness has proved to the army that an attempt to coerce a commanding officer can have but one termination, the ruin of those who attempt it. At the same time, it is absolutely necessary that it should be made evident, that those attaining high and responsible positions, such as the command of a regiment of high reputation, should under stand that they are to exercise their functions with dig. cretion, and refrain from seeking to exalt themselves by a depreciation of those entrusted to their command. This lesson, his royal highness hopes, has now been learnt by Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley ; and that he will, in future, by firmness united with temper and dis cretion, prove himself worthy to command a regi ment which his royal highness knows, by personal expe rience, to have been equal to any in her Majesty's servioe, under former commanding officers. With respect to the long arrest of the non-commissioned officer*, his royal high ness sees no reason to alter his opinion of its impropriety, which ia admitted by Sir William Mansfield, whilst be ex plains the cause. The came of Sergeant-Major Lilley will ever remain an nnfortan►te event. It is possible, perhaps probable, that he may have taken a portion of the liquor supplied for his wife; bat there seems no proof that he did so to such an extent as to came his death. His character for sobriety and correct conduct, previous to his arrest, seems to have been ' undoubted. IQ closing the correspondence on this painful subject, the field marshal desires to express a hope that the conduct of all parties in the Innidrilliag Dragoons for the future may be such as to deserve the approbation of the general officers under whom they may be called on to serve ; but should, uofortunately, what has passed not have been a sufficient warning to them, his royal highness will not hesitate to visit with his severe displeasure those who forget their duty in the pursuit of their private animosities." THE VOLUNTEERS. AMALGAMATION OF CORPS. The followiug official circular has been issued : War-oßlee, Jima m. My Lord, —I have the honour to inform you that it is necessary that all oorps of volunteers which are not of suffi cient strength to constitute by themselves a regiment, bri gade, or battalion, should be either united with others to form an administrative regiment, or should be attached for adminiatrative purposes to another corps of the same arm, having the establishment of a regiment, brigade, or batta lion, in order that they may partake of the sums voted by parliament for the capitation grant to volunteers. This administrative organisation is required for the purpose of uniting separate corps under a common bead, and of enabling them to receive through an adjutant, se the government accountant, their share of the grant, but it is not intended to icterfere with their constitution, or financial arrangements, unconnected with public money, with the operation of their respective rules, or with the powers specially conferred on their commanding officers by act of parliament. Corps of volunteers which are not of sufficient strength to constitute by themselves a regiment, brigade, or battalion, and are not so circumstanced as to admit of their being united witb, or attached to other corps of the same arm for administrative purposes, must be attached to another corps or administrative regiment of a different arm, to enable them to receive through the adju tant their share of the sums voted by parliament for their aid. When the corps concerned desire to be placed on the footing of administrative attachment, described above for corps of the same arm, such an arrangement will receive my sanction, provided that is recommended by their lord-lieute nant. As there are some corps belonging to the county under your jurisdiction which have not yet been included in any administrative organisatioo, I have the honour to inclose herewith a proposal for the administrative union or attach ment of these corps, and I shall feel obliged by your inform ing me whether you concur in the arrangement in question. Since lam desirous of carrying out as speedily as possible, in the as of these corps, the regulations contained in Volunteer Circular, No. 41, reopecting the issue of the capitation grant for the current year, I request that you will favour me with an early reply to this letter. I have to add that the provisions of Volunteer Circular N 0.13 are can celled, as far as relates to the attachment of volunteer corps of the same arm.—l have the honour to be, my lord, your obedient servant, Ds GREY Ayu Ripon. The Earl of Sefton, &c. The Public Schools Commissioners held a meeting on Saturday laet, at No. 2, Victoria-street, West minster. The commissioven present were—The Earl of Clarendon, the Earl of Devon, the Lord Lyttelton, and Sir Stafford H. Northcote Bart" M.P. Slit J. K. SHUITLEWORTH AND THE LANCA SHIRE DISTEEBB.—Sir J. K. Shuttleworth, in a letter to a contemporary, says that the supply of cottoo for the year may be expected to amount to half the old imports, and adds that the difficulties of manufacturing the Indian staple are actually overcome. It is only the price that kills. Of 40.0001. now taken in weekly wages, he thinks 22,0004 may be due to the cotton trade, and 18,0001. to casual employment. The latter most na turally be considered as in some degree temporary or precarious, but Sir James then proceeds to inform us that the factory work itself rests on no better basis. It is not a genniue revival of trade. It is only a little "spurt" put on by the energy of a few manufacturers, who have adapted their mills to Indian cotton, and who have ventured, even at present prices, to replenish the stocks of goods, which, owing to the stoppage of productioo, bed become very low indeed. But that demand must obviously be limited. The autumn would see it satisfied, and then the factory bands, the field hands, and the vagrants together would all come back upon the relief list, sod swell the total of claimants to last year's figures. A FATAL LEAP.—A most appalling accident occurred at the Howdee station of the Newcastle and North Shields branch of the North Eastern Railway on Friday afternoon. A train leaves Nevrcastle-on.Tyne at half past 2 o'clock, but it dote not call at any station until it reaches Shields. At the moment that this train was flying pest the Bowden station on Friday afternoon a man was ob. served to open the door of a third-elan carriage and leap upon the platform, but in a moment be was thrown under its wheels and met with instant death. He : was dreadfully crushed. His feet were cut off, and he : was awfully mangled about the head and body, and his remains were wrapped up in a waggon cloth and removed • to an outhouse. The unfortunate man, who had thus inatantly met hie death in the presence of the appalled spectators at the station, proved to be Mr. Hughes, the chief engineer of the Black Duck steamship, belonging to . Messrs. T. and W. Smith. It seems that the steamer was laden and ready for sea, and that the deceased, leaving his , wife and children on board the steamer, had hurried op to . Newcastle for something that he bad forgotten. It in suspected that he had omitted to notice that the half.past 2 o'clock train did not call at the Bowden station, which is nearest the dock, before it was too late, and then he bad made the foolhardy resolve to leap out as it paned the station, for some of the other passengers saw him holding the handle of the door of the carriage before they approached the station. DREADFUL ENCOUNTER WITH A TIGErt.—A corre spondent of The Timer of India writes as follows : " I regret to have to record another frightful tiger accident. It ap pears that Captain Curtis, 6th Dragoons, Captain Brad ford, Salida' Cavalry, and another gentleman were out on a shooting excursion in the vicinity of Sohore, where they fell in with a tiger, which had previously been wounded by some other sportsmen, and was in a state of furious madame Captain Bradford raised his gun, but it un fortunately would not go off. At the same moment the brute caught sight of the party, and giving a hideous roar, charged down upon them with the utmost ferocity, singling out Captain Bradford, who was in the act of scram blintz up a tree ; the tiger nude • dash at him with a tre romidous bound, and caught and dragged him to the ground. Poor Bradford having raised hie hand to protect his head the brute seized his arm, crunching it between his terrible jaws as if it had been so much rotten wood, breaking and splintering the bogie, and lacerating the flesh in a frightful manner. Meantime his companions were not idle ; but as they were afraid of hitting their friend if they fired at any distance advanced boldly up to the brute and poured shot after shot into him, till at last he was rolled over by the eleventh bullet.' Ferocious to the lad, the brute never re linquished his hold, and fell dead in the act of aiming a blow with his enormous paw at the head of his victim. • Poor Captain Bradford was carried into Sehore in a pitiable condition, mauled all over, and it was found necessary to amputate his arm at the shoulder joint. By last acoounte he I was is a very precarious state. The tiger was of manstrans • airs, and said to be the laxgeet over seen in thew parts." LAW INTELLIGENCE. (Para DAT.) COT; HT OF EXCHEQUER. The Lord Cb'ref Baron Pollock, and Barons Martin, Brun. well, and Chitheell, .at at Westminster today, for the pur pose of deli' ering judgment in cases which had been argued. ATTORHRT-OZNRRAL V. LORD BETTOW.-v-TYPORTANT QURSTION OF RUCCESNION DLITT. Mr. Baron Martin, in delivering judgment , said this was a case of considerahle importance. The late Earl of Stilton, who died in August. DM, was the owner of certain lands at Toxteth-park. LiverpooL At the time of his death, and for ten years previously, those lands were wholly uocizeu pied and noproductive, and incapable of being mail profitably for agriculture or any other purpose. No income or profit was derived from them, and they were not then marketable as building land. bat still they were of great value, being, in 18G2, worth 4,000/. an acre, which was ft) times the value of the best agricultural land. The crown claimed succession duty upon thee* lands from the pre sent earl, and the question was whether they were liable to it—a most important point, as there was a considerable amount of valuable land in this country similarly circum. stanced. In the neighbourhood of large towns there was often to be found some vacant land utterly Built for the growth of crops, liable to constant trespass, and used as play-ground for children, and which the owner could not fence io or turn immediately to building purposes. The land of the defendant in this case was ex actly is that sitoation, but the present income from it was oil, yet it was prospectively of enormous value, at least 1,000/. per se= more than the most valuable agricultural i land. The defendant contended that it was not liable to succession duty, and the question depended on the construc tion of the Succession Duty Act. Having carefully read the act he could not believe that it was the deliberate intention of the legislature to relieve each land from the payment of duty. He thought that when the defendant succeeded to his father he became, in the words of the act, beneficially entitled to the property ; because, though it might not have been either wine or prudent to have sold it immediately ou his father's death, it might nevertheless have been sold, a nd would, in comparison with other laud., have produced an enormous sum. He was therefore of opinion that judgment should be given for the crown. The Lord Chief Baron was of opinion that the defendant was entitled to their judgment, first, because he thought that upon the true construction of the act the actual annual value was the basis on which the =occasion duty was to be calculated, and not the possible or prospective value ; secondly, because the provisions made in certain case. such as wood, advoweons, fines on beneficial leases, as opened mines, afforded strong evidence that such a case as the present was not to be dealt with in the way propoeed, without some clause in the bill to authorise it ; rind, lastly, because if the principle on which the present claim was made were a sound one, it must apply to oases where the present annual value was less than prospectively it would probably become as well as to cases where it was absolutely nothing; and it was to his mind perfectly clear that the act was not framed with any such intention. The real question was, what was the meaning of "annual value" in the 21st section. Did it mean present actual value or the annual value which the owner might immediately obtain for it were he minded to apply it to a different purpose, or the possible prospective value which there was every reason to suppose it would attain' He was of opinion that it meant present actual annual value. If the principle of the pre sent claim were correct, the successor to • mansion and park close to a large town, and adapted immediately for building purposes, ought to pay, not according to the fair rental of the estate as it was, bat according to the =creamed value if it was sold for building purposes, but this was a claim which could not be supported. The pro prietor of land in this country had a right to make what reasonable nee of it he pleased, and sometimes even an unreasonable nee, stet be was not bound to so use it that it might yield the largest re to the govern ment, or to pay taxes as if it did. A landed proprietor, whose park was over the most valuable misers l property, had a right to say. " I prefer living where my ancestors hays lived to obtaining the wealth which the opening of the mines would afford," and on &succession the duty, in his judgment, ought to be calculated on the fair rental which such resi dence and park would command, and without any reference to the value of the undisturbed minerals. He thought that the contention on the part of the crown wen wholly unte nable, and that judgment should be for the defendant. His lordship added that Mr. Boron Wilde expressed concurrence in his judgment. Mr. Baron Channell said be was obliged to leave the coart during the argument, to attend chamber' • and in a came of this importance he did not think that be 'could, therefore, properly take any part in the decision ; but he had carefully considered the judgments prepared by his learned brothers, and he was inclined to amve at the same conclusion as the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Baron Wilde. There being a majority of the court in favour of the de fendant judgment was entered for him. DUCKWORTH V. RVFART. Mr. Baron Martin said that ir this case the question was on what principle the damages should be assessed by the arbitrator for a breach of covenant. If the defendant had performed his covenant there could be no doubt that plaintiff world have been in possession of a considerable sum of money. He thought that the plaintiff was entitled to compensation for the damage consequent on the breach of covenant as well as to the costs, hut as the Loyd Chief Baron and Mr. Berea Bramwell thought that he wu only entitled to the law costs, and as there was every probability of the case being taken to a court of error, he would not deliver his written judgment, which was of considerable length. The Lord Chief Baron—There can be no doubt it will be taken to a court of law. The rule was then made absolute in a form to raise the question io dispute. The following judgments were then delivered : SILL r. SWAMI. Role discharged. CAWDRON r. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Rule diecharge L KTNASTON V. NICHOLSON. Rule ducharged. WELD V. WILLIAM& Rule deeharged. MAO T. WALICKR, In this shipping case there was • rule absolute to enter verdict for the plaintiff for . p.rtial loss. HOLMr. NORRIS, The court intimiLitVatthey - Zhed this case to be argued again by one counsel on each side. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.) LB RE =LT CAROL= RUBBELL.-•PPLICATION FOR RELEIBE._ The bankrupt is the mother of the Miss Russell who recently obtained her discharge sod release, after being imprisoned two month, at the suit of Mr. Adams, surgeon, against whom she had brought an action for breach of promise of marriage. The present bankrupt, described as of no occupation, of Cottage-grove, Peckham, was in custody for other debts irrespective of then in curred in the law proceeding. There was no opposition to her application, and the release was ordered. IN RS j7llOll BOUCICAULT. In the matter of this bankrupt, anirailiicnown in connec tion with the Theatre Royal Westminster, and other theatres, against whom adjudication was made a few darn ago, the first sitting has been appointed for 21st lost., at 12 o'clock. before Mr. Registrar Roche. At this sitting proofs of debt will be tenders] and admitted, and creditors' assignees chosen. As the adj adoration has not been made on the petition of the bankrupt himself, bat on that of creditors (the assignees of Jones and Rrembridge, upholsterers, of Piccadilly, bankitapts), it is not accompanied by the usual statement of affairs ; but the liabilities are supposed to he about 30,0001., with ass-ts estimated at upwards of 211.000/. It is probable that the formal balance-sheet will not be tiled until shortly before the last examination sitting. IN RE VINET AND CO. - DISPUTED PROOF. The bankrupts were plumbers and glaziers, of Brichton, the father and three sons haviog traded io partnership. Above eight years ago the firm had obtained an advsnce of 4001. from a Mr. Blackman, for which Mr. Schenk was se curity to the extent of 2001. Since the bankruptcy Schenk bad been called on to pat the 200/., and now sought to prove against the estate of the bankrupts. Mr. E. Reed supported the proof. Mr. Doria. on behalf of the assignees under the bank ruptcy, took the objection that the onto, being a joint and several note. signed by seven persons—the creditors- - must must either go against the whole jointly, or against each separately. His Honour reserved his judgment. TN flit C. SM !TIT. . The bankrupt, s. builder, at North Bow, applied for kis release from custody. Mr. Served opposed. It appeared that the bankrupt had given mortgages en two bonus to a person ORMIIIi Emily Jones, whom he described u his housekeeper, on the allegation that a certain amount wee due to her as wages. He bad given up to property, but sdmitted that there were some ladders, scaffolding, Ac., on a piece of pound in the occupation of Miss Jones. He bad been engaged in the erection of 20 houses on the Conservative Land Society's estate, but they bad foreclosed upon hint, and he had got nothing by it. His Honour said he should not grant the release, until the bankrupt, wbo had come to the court in forma pauperis, had given up the whole of his property. IN RE J. A. L. BARNARD.-THR LATE CARRIER 01 THE ROYAL BRITISH BANIL The bankrupt, described as of Quemeeroad, DalstAn, was recently secretary and =wager of the London and Provin cial Discount Company. and was previously chief whirr of the unfortunate Royal British Bank. This was the ad journed sitting for examination and discharge. The debts are 1,273/. ; assets of trifling amount. Mr. Dowse opposed for the assignees. The bankrupt had been directed to file • cash account for twelve months. Ho had done so, but the amount was very imperfect. Mr. Sargood said the bankrupt bad been entirely ruined through his connexion with the London and Provincial Discount Company, which had been wound up. He was now penniless, and could not obtain the requisite assistance to prepare hi• accounts. A claim of 1,0001. made by him as and manager of the Discount Company had been a .e d e t r n e i t a but as yet he had been unable to obtain any. thing.
