Ta Expreu has already called attention to the probability that the coaetiluftilitYB of the Riordan ralerays would eodeavour to obtain in the English market the funds necessary for carrying oat the undertaking. The necessity for repeating that warn big hu now become manifest, and the public cannot be cautioned to-) strongly against lending itself to a scheme which is adding to the military strength of Russia, and at the same time encouraging the colossal speculations of a Company which hu been mainly in strumental in bringing about that financial proem in France, the reaction from which is now being felt by the commercial world in England. The Credit Mobilier, through its agents, is said to be already busily sounding the English Money Market as to the extent of the support it may look fee in launching these Russian schemes, with the view of attracting Britiah capital to projects which it would be suicidal on our parts to %stew. While so many channels are open in other portions of Europe for the profitable investment of capital, it is to be hoped that no encouragement will be given to Russian railways, devised rather u military roads than commerci►l highways, and above all, that the Credit Mobilier and its associates may not be allowed to drag England, even to the smallest extent, into the difficulties they have created, and which not only seriously affect French_ credit at home and abroad, but as seri:wily endanger the political tranquillity of the country. Let thus press repeat its warnings again sad again ; they cannot be too widely disseminated, more especially sow that the danger is no longer contiegent but actually exists. PUBLIC opinion, wherever it allowed free peeesion, is too strong even for monopolies; and we are glad to find that the London General Omnibus Company is showing some signs of the salutary ope ration of this very useful power. The Company hod a field day on Thursday last, and exhibited, first be. bra the citizens at Guildhall, and next buses the shief magistrate at the Mansion Rouse, mural SUS- On of improved omnibus.. The account given of the new earriages seems fairly satisfactory : we read slimmed height, additional "kne►room," and im proved ventilation; of an Ingenious apparatus for com municatiog with the conductor by means of an indla robber tube, which is to product a soundlike a railway whistle ; of a lamp, on the principle of a railway lamp. "with an elongated stem and a valve attached to carry off the effluvia ;" of a strap or rail so fixed as to enable people to reach and leave their seats without trespassing on the toes of their fellow-paseugers ; last, not leas% of an improved access to the roof, by which open-air pilau:gen may mond and desosid without danger to life and limb. These are all s'sps in the right direction ; and it is to be hoped that no time may be last in substituting the improved carriages for those which, to the great discredit of the Company, have been so long suffered to abuse the public patience. It is obvious to remark, that the managers of the Association could not have passed a more explicit condemnation on their pre sent equipages than by this exhibition, nor can any better proof be afforded of the reemonablenese of the posilic di:content than the fact that the Com pany have for some time had in their pour the amplest means of removing it. It is for the public, and for the Press as representing the interests of the peblic, tome that there is no unnecessary delay in substituting the improved for the unimproved omnibuses on all the limes under the control of the Association. The statement recently given in the Daily News by' A Large Sharsholder,"of the financial position o' the London General Omnibus Company, proves that they cannot plead inability to act in this respect as the interests of the public imperatively re quire. It appears from this statement, on the accuracy of which we have every reason to rely, that the Company are now in possession of 600 ousaibases, that they divided 12* per oast. in July last, and expect an increased dividend next January. The annual net profit on each °melba. may be averaged, it seems, at 1601. a year, giving on the whole number a clear profit of 06,00 W. per annum, amounting, on an estimated capital of 600,0001., to about 16 per cent. The fall in the price of bryand straw is also, as the correspondent has sot failed to point out, an important element of Us:eased prospe rity ; and on the whole, if we are to take the sue of the Company as it is stated by one who, in MINIS to ample means of informatics. has presumably s OM internst en its success, the present thiandal ps. skim of the concern is sea that its mown have no excise whatever for any farther 4s in introducing those improvements whim!' eV have so frequently promised and se repeatedly i postponed. Wo don't want to nay anything unnecessarily harsh or disagreeable, but we can not help remarking that on some, at least, of their lines, improved omnibuses, if not actually in regular work, ought long since to have been started, at all events in experimental trips. Nor can any sufficient reason be given for a failure to introduce such simple improvements, and such increased vigi lance of supervision, u might easily have been applied, even to the existing vehicles. There is no reason, for instance, why the Company's omnibuses should be worse regulated than they were when in private hands ; and yet, unku we are to disbelieve the written statements that reach us from all quar ter., such, in too many instances, is the cam The managers of the Association have now proved that they possess the power, if they choose to exert it, of providing the metropolitan public with means of transit which are at all events respectably and decently commodious. If they don't speedily set abut em ploying these means foe the public benefit, there is only one conclusion to be drawn. Oar belief is, not from any special knowledge we pos sum of the managers of the London Omnibus Company, bat from the gensrnl knowledge which everybody by this time ought to have of the nature of monopolies, that this trading Company will pay no regard to the public convenience until it is clearly proved to them that a continuance of such disregard will tend to defeat their own objects. A little whole some competition, the establishment of a rival com pany, the vigilant attention of the Press, may succeed in extorting from their self-interest that at tuition to the general accommodation which it would be absurd to look for front any other motive. Bo convinced are we of the real importance of this matter to the every-day comfort of the residents in the metropolis that we shall cer tainly not let it rest where it is. We want to see the model omnibuses not only paraded before the Mansion-house bet at work in the streets. They ought to have been as long ego. If they do not make a speedy appearance in the right place we shall feel it a public duty to return to the charge, and learn, if possible, the reason why.

Judkina, arrived in the Mersey shortly after 7 o'clock, with advicea from New York to the 28th ult. The passage, of the Persia from port to port was 9 days 7 hour.. She brought 183 passengers and 1,490,000 dollars in specie. The steamship Hermann, from Bremen and South ampton, and the Belgique, from Antwerp, had arrived at New York ; and the Royal Mail steamer Arabia hence at Boston. The Belo York Tribune states that the Fremont party in Pennsylvania and Indiana can win if they will, and that their prospects have greatly brightened. The official returns from all the counties in Pennsylvania give a democratic majority of 2,774. In the Legislature the democrats had a majority of three on joint ballot. A letter from Governor Geary, of Kansas, dated the 10th ult., announces the restoration of peace in that territory. He says that for two weeks no outrages have been reported, and that many of the most notorious characters have left the country. A terrifio storm swept over Lake Michigan on the 26th and 26th alt. Forty lives were lost, and two steamers and three schooners were wrecked. The British Arctic discovery ship Resolute is now ready for sea, and will leave u soon u orders are remind from Washington for her sailing. From New Mexico we learn that the Indiana were quiet, and business was dull. _ From Nicaragua the adviees come to hand confirm the news previously received of Walker's •ictory. The following is the latest despatch on the subject : Walker had had two severe battles with the enemy, in both of which he was successful, the enemy being routed both at Oranadeand Nicaragua; with loss in killed and wounded of 420. The steamer Tennessee sailed from New York for Nicaragua on the 27th with 350 recruits for Walker. Advice. from Northern Mexico state that General Vidaurri had taken Mei without resistance, and then moved against Carnage, which place was defended by 1,300 men. Vidaurri bad a force of 3,000 under his command, and some skirmishing had already takes pitoe between the belligerents. l A New Orleans paper publishes a letter from Oen. Gadsden, which intimates that the new American minister will not find the government to which he is accredited in existence ; that Alvarez and Vidsurri were both advancing on the capital, in order to overthrow President Comonfort. Mondani' advice'', to Sept. 26, state that the reports from the gold mines were discouraging. Pam gold had been discovered on the coast, near Tranillo, but the men had only made 1 dollar a day en yet. The merchants of Guatemala, Honduras, and San Salvador,:are represented, as being much incensed against Walker, for his sesumption of the Presidency of Nicaragua, and vow his overthrow, with the aid of Chili and Peru. The Illinois steamship arrived at New York on the 28th ult, with the Californian mails of October 8, and 1,681,967 dollar@ in specie. The mining intelligence was favourable, and markets steady. The money market at New York was gradually tightning, and an advance of discount equal to one per cent. was fully established. On call 8 per cent. was freely paid, and very good paper of long dates at 12 per cent. per annum. Stuck* were heavy, sad business inactive. Foreign exchange closed heavily. Loudon, 1091 to ; Paris, 6.171. The cotton market had recovered from the recent depression, and closed steady. Breadstuff. in moderate demand, chiefly for home consumption, but no change in prices hu been reported. The transaetioes in provisions have been small, at previous rates. Naval stores firm in value. Freights—To Liverpool : Cotton, I to I per lb.; flour, 2*. per barrel; grain, Bjd. to Btd. per bushel. LIFE IN ALGIERS.-FIRST IMPRESSIONS. MONDAY, Oc-r. 27. Here we are, with no bedrcoma sod no sitting. room. Most miserable after our beautiful passage of 47 hours from Marseilles. The sun was broiling when we started, and we bad fine weather all the way. We came over in a vessel ('he Osiris ) full of French soldiers and emigrants-320 of the former, 70 of the ' latter, about as many women as men. A few pri soners were also on board. They practised equality and fraternity, distributing themselves all over the beat part of the deck as though they had a perfect right to it, but were otherwise very well behaved. In spite of the necessary crowding, they seemed never to lose their good humour. The conduct of the sol diers wu admirable—perfectly goodoatured and quiet. I never saw an English crowd of the same rank so well behaved. When at length we landed we felt as though we had stepped beck into the Arabian Nights : jostling Arabs in dirty white cloaks, women reeling along muffled up to the eyes in white muslin, negroes, French, and Jews. Such strange looking figures! Every description of creature appeared to be loitering about on the quays. You will wonder at my emphatic expressioa of misery, but the fact is, we ought to have written for rooms, or have delayed awhile at Marseilles. The races are going on, and have brought 6,000 strangers into the town. Arabs of all tribes, French militaires from the out stations, and such a host of people that literally there is not a bedroom to be bad in any of the hotels, nor apart ments elsewhere to hire. The old woman who " lived in a shoe" was sumptuously accommodated compared to our present chances. As I write, our courier Giuseppe comes in after a second search —nothing to be found. Later—we have got a room, but no sofas, so are fain to lie on the floor upon our cloaks to rest, after a dinner of soup, mutton cutlets, tunny fish, radishes, butter, apples, and excellent grapes. In fact, all the eat able/ seem to be good. As I write, we have just been called into another room, looking over the Place towards the sea, to watch the return from the races— a curious sight, about 100 Arabs prancing along, on high saddles, and horseclothe of many colours, spangled with gold. 6 o'Clack.—Tbe waiter comes in and lights the pa: we did not expect gas in Algiers. To the north it is still quite light, bat this room face a dark narrow street; and as I look out I see French shops, and one for "pens, ink, and papers." This reminds me of the perfect English of an Arab, who came this morn ing to the ship, and after silently eyeing P., as if to be sure be was not a Frenchman, offered to take our bundle of shawls, saying interrogatively, "Go ashore r Well, no beds were to be bad, 50 we have ordered our mattresses to be laid on the floor of the room aforesaid, and mean to sleep as comfortably as we can considering the draught under the doors. This evening, however, a sudden thought struck us that the proper and picturesque thing to do under the circumstances wee to "take the bath," like any num ber of Eastern pilgrims before us from the day. of Solomon downwards. Marshalled by Giuseppe and a waiter, we went off through a dim arcade, a dimmer street, and a dark covered passage; passing here a fountain, and there a white mosque looming against the evening sky, or a group of Arabs huddled in their coloured drapery round the low arched door of a coffee-shop. We pass many Bindbads, and one-eyed Calendars more than seven. This is, indeed, an Arabian Night. We have seen many of our old friends alresdy—Hassatn, Haji Babe, Fatima, and Zaleika. Indeed, the Moorish women, with their white dresses swaddled up to the eyes, are ghastly creatures, looking, as they stand about in the desk passe" like ghosts or shrouded corpses, or that ter. rible resurrectionist lady who would eat nothing but rice in the day time. From one of these dark pea. sego we turned, and suddenly found ourselves in a real Arabian court, open to the blue sky of a warm and most magnificent starlight night. It was built of Moorish arches, two tiers, and as white as glebes. ter : the dim lights showed a fountain in the centre, shadowed by palm trees, and creepers trained thence slanting to the upper gallery. Here—after all our trials by sea and land, oar broiling sun, our bard floor, sod our prospect of no beds—was a delicious change; and 8. sank down upon the crimson divan, averring that it was the most comfortable place he had seen yet in Algiers, and there he meant to pus the night. The attendant of the bath aroused WI from this delusive hope, by entering, and demanding in French how many baths were required. There is nothing in the world like a warm bath for refreshing tired travellers we came out brisk and buoyant, and could feel inclined to make light of our difficultiee, and enjoy the fun of seeing all the extraordinary bipeds in the streets; making our way through crowds of uniforms as we neared the hotel, for two or three great dinners are in progress, given by the authorities to French officers and Arab sheiks. There are three tall Arabs, of high rank, wearing the particular red cloak which denotes them to be of consequence, all crouched round the tiniest, most miserable little shop—a stall, where some kind of eatables are to be had. And yet at times the Arab will submit with a good grace to civilisation, and show that he can enjoy good beds and good living as much as his French masters. In particular we heard much of the exquisitely refined behaviour of one young Arab, introduced for the first time iato European society. He had never sat on a chair before; never eaten with a knife and folk; never been intro. duced to Christian ladies, yet managed to acquit him self with such perfect ease and grace under his new condition as to be the marvel of all present. Returning to the hotel we made pretend of going to bed upon the mattresses, under the comfortable conviction that the noise of staging, whistling, church bells, horses and rattling carts would keep us awake all night ; and the next morning, at half.past five, the cannons sounded, the little quiet we had at intervals entirely ceased, and the bustle of the day began. And row for a woe ful adventure. Being very hungry in the early morn ing, I bethought me of certain sponge cakes lett upon the table from supper the previous night ; I began to eat, when, to my horror, I PAW that the cakes were covered with white and brown insects. I must have eaten a swarm ; and began to have terrible vlsioos of poisonous entomological life, such lively apparitions as the solar microscope discloses to gaping crowds of horrified children. I darted instinctively to the water jug, but was forcibly re strained from that natural solace by the hasty assur ance of my companions (backed by the guide book). that Algerian water was full of " blood suckers." Ignorant of blood-suckers, and filled with vague alarm, I next made a dash at a champagne bottle, and in my agitation shot H. violently with the cork—and thus amidst peala of laughter commenced our seooad day in Algiers.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PARIS, FRIDAY Saurus°. The paragraph in the lifoisiteur repudiating, though not in a very decided tau, the article in the Constittaiosnel of the 6th, which has caused alarm in every capital of Europe, is the result of long confer mme between the Emperor and his advisers which I alluded to yesterday as having taken place at Com peigee. The ifoositeur article has failed to produce any improvement at the Burge. At the opening there were a few purchases in conerquena of it, bet offers soon succeeded, and the Rents closed at 66fr. 460. and 66fr. 60e., with a fall of 6c. for cash and 100. for account.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN EGYPT. The following are some further particulars of this omit, se gins is a letter to Mom. Nato& Brother', of Sunderland: . . _ " Alexandria, Oct. 17, Ifti6. " On Sunday morning last we had an earthquake here, ' which was both severe and long. It occurred about eight minutes to then a.m., use time • our clock was stopped at twelve Ininstas to thno It cau sed no little alarm, and, for my part, Inset say I felt more uncomfortable in my 11U. I had not been leer in bed, and was sot asleep (for I bad been siting up reading, not feeling et ell sleepy). when the first thing that attracted my attention was a little dog of Mad ame's Ur it deeps in my room,which began to move about moonily, and than felt my bed rock violently as if dozen fellows were tagging at it. My first impression was that some Greeks on the ground-floor were kicking up a shindy, as they do sometime., only that the roaring noise bo thered no As soot as 1 put my head outside Use morqoito net I at ones became aware of the true state of the ease. for the walls were moving as though they were made of pasteboard, and the photons were moving out from the walls and then swinging violently bark again—the walls all the time cracking away like fan. The first thing that struck me on seeing this was, that then wee no chance of escape, the house would be down long before we could get out of it; bat wodene's door opened ea the other side of the corridor, and the called out, ' Levee yens Cite, sortes, mtge.' 1 went and picked up all my two, put them over my arm, and bolted ; all this tine the lime and plaster were dropping upon us is all directions, and at this critical moment the I went was PO frightened, end the door shook so, that she could not unlock it for some time. Madame was calling 1 out all the time, 'Nous names perdu, nous sesames perdue.' I certainly was of the same opinion, for, on looking up to the lifters by the light s,f the moon, I could see first one side go op then the other, the walls all the tint beading and cracking in all directions. The noise was awful—like e very heavy gale of wind during the whole time, end the fiorr was t easier like a ship's dick at sea. When the door wee opened into the stairs, the poor Invest called out, Main madame noes amine, en chemise;' however, after bailing the lolls above stair., sod getting an newer, we all darted down the stain, which were locking like vengeance. When we got into the street we found our neighbours out bef re as all is white, making very mints efforts to get on their chewing. gowns. It took them some time before that could be managed. The sane was very ridiculous, but not a single individual felt ioclined to laugh just then, for it was touch sod go. Had the shock continued a little while longer all Alexandria would have been in nine, for the last shod', instead of being simply undulating, like the first and second, was a regular jerk upwards, which is the most destructive. Properly &peskier there woe but one shock, but there were three intervals, that is to nay the shaking became gradually 'troupe and stronger up to a certain point, then died away, and then become strong *gain, and died away to a feint shake, end then come the lest jerking, which finished off the business; it lasted altogether upwards of two minutes. When I finished my toilet in the streets I footed out that I was mines both stock ' legs and boot,. As soon as the shock ceased 1 w d got my boots, etc., put them on, end my hereon, with a stock of cigar., prepared for may even•uolity. Al the people got Into the of en places clear of the houses, suck as the middle of the square, dtc , and a curious lot of costumes there were; lots of people were wry sick, and completely done up. As soon as I got clear of the houses I lighted up and smoked away till daylight, when I had sone grub and went to bed, but the 'lightest thief; made me Iran up out of my sleep ; the nerves had been thrown off their halenee, and even after I was asleep anything hitting the wall aroused me up for e m meet. It was most fortunate that the weather was warm and vaunt, otherwise loads of people would have taken their eoliths with colds. lam not a nit worse for bring in the stoats is bare feet arid night chin. The tkermomi ter sad barometer were not changed at all by the earthquake. A lot of the old houses in the Arab quarter were 'oaken down, bet none in the European, though all show marks. Many of than have VIVA, from top to bottom, Ours amongst the rest. The erehitects end builders say the erects are of no consequence unless they are ecru's, then the buildings bee wee dangerous. I cresmt of bricks, stones, and mortar having each an amount of elasticity ; they held out wonderfully ; bat they say that the immune quantity of wood seed here is the walls was what caved them from going Kenn. At Cairo 160 houses and ewe or two mosques have gene dawn; at Damietta the shock was not felt at all, but we have news today that it was felt at Curls ; is Syria these was some. Wherever it came from, some dreadful diameter meet have occurred, for it was moot violent here, and we are almost out of the range altogether. Thera is gnat difference of opinion as to the duration, bat most people make it at least two mutates, and I believe it lasted longer." r r &58; i
