Tan Railway Excursion Season may be consi dered at an end. The hundreds of thousands of people released from the burden of their daily occupations, not only in this great metropolis, but in our manufacturing and other hives of industry, are returning from their various jaunts to the lakes, to the watering places, to the coast, to the Scottish moors, or the far-western Galway. The public are, in no small degree, indebted to our railway companies for opening out such opportu nities of locomotion as have been provided for them during the past season. We have not all spent our holidays in the same districts, but let us just consider where we have had the opportu nity of spending them. The London and North Western Railway offered facilities for silting Scotland, Ireland, North Wales, and the Lake districts, upou most liberal terms to tourists. Five guineas or thereabouts franked a man for • month all the way from London to Killarney and back again, permitting him to stop at various plaCes on his route, and to enjoy all the luxuries of tint class accommodation. The Great Western afforded facilities for visiting the Land's End and places on the coast of Cornwall and of Devonshire, not, perhaps, on terms so absolutely cheap, but still on conditions that were advantageous to fami lies. Ibis company declined to issue excursion tickets to single persons, but they gave them to parties of not less than three persons, at • rate of 3/. ss. to any West Cornwall station. Their rates to South Wales (Milford Haven and Tenby) cor responded very much with these. To Guernsey and Jersey, the Great Western made return fares, by the Weymouth packets, at the rate of 45a. for the monthly ticket ; and these tickets were issued singly. They made cheap rates, also, to the Isle of Man, franking any person from London there and back, rid Liverpool, for 31. 10s. These rates, however, were, no doubt, regulated by competition with the South Western in the one case, and the North Western in the other, and therefore scarcely represented this company's arrangements for excursion traffic. The Great Eastern, on the other side of England, opened out its district this year with remarkable liberality. It can scarcely compete with the Great Western dis trict in the attraction of its sea-coast places of resort, but still Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Aldborough, Harwich, and other places in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Ems; are by no means without their attrac tions, and proximity to London gives them great advantages in the eyes of many. The rates which were made by this company for excursion traffic were extremely reasonable ; and they offered • great additional inducement to tourists by im proving their train service, not merely in the num ber of the trains, but in the increase of their speed. The Great Northern Railway made liberal rates for tourists to the east coast of Scotland, to Scarborough and Harrogate, and to the Lincoln shire sea coast. The well-skilled manager of this line especially sought to open out those points of resort to the inhabitants of the larger Midland towns touched by the Great Northern, such as Not tingham, Lincoln, Retford, Hull, Sheffield,Bredford, Huddersfield, and Manchester. Through rates were, moreover, made by this company with the South Western, so as to enable tourists from the Midland districts to visit the Isle of Wight, the coast of Dorset, and the Channel Islands at very moderate rates. The Midland Railway Company, acting on the same principle and in combination with other companies, made cheap rates from the interior to almost every part of the anat. Their excursion ticket arrangements afforded facilities for visiting not only their own district proper, each as the Peak of Derbyshire, Matlock, Morecambe Bay, and Ingleton, but the west of England (rid Bristol), the east of England (rid Peterborough), North and South Wales, the Lake district, Ireland and Scotland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, and even the south coast from Hustings to Bourne mouth. This company, in fact, ramifying through all the Midland districts, crossing from nun to west, and uniting great lines both at north and south, was able to offer peculiar facilities to excursionists from the Midland districts. But none of the lines, perhaps, afforded more facilities than the South Western. By its arrangements with the North Devon, it was enabled this year greatly to extend its facilities for excursionists, and the cheapness of its rates and the expedition of its trains enabled it, despite many disadvantages, to open out the northern coast of Devon to • multitude who flooded it to such an extent as often, during the season, to overflow the accommodation which such compara tively small places as Ilfracombe, Lynmoutb, Lyn ton, and Clovelly were able to provide. This development of excursion traffic in Great Britain cannot but be regarded as a very striking and interesting feature as well in railway affairs as in the national progress of our country. Its effect upon locality is very remarkable. Contrast the condition of some places on our coast which rail ways have not touched with the condition of places to which they have afforded access. Bangor, • few years ago, was a miserable village—it can now boast of some of the handsomest hotels in England, and all of them thronged during the mum by 'whi ter* to the Britannia Bridge, and tourists to North Wales. On the other hand, Aberystwith, with which Bangor can bear no comparison as • bathing place, is not only unprogressive, but is comparatively do wned. Its population are sighing for the railway facilities which are promised, but not yet afforded to it. On the east roast, in like manner, Lowestoft, through the enterprise and energy of Sir Morrow Pero, has risen, in connexion with the railway system, from • paltry fishing town to • moat elegant watering.place; its pier, its shore, its hotels, its lodging-houses, its baths, and libra ries, aad general amusement+, challenging comparison with those of any place of the same class. Cromer, on the other hand, not yet reached by rail, al though possessing in many respects far superior attractions to Lowestoft, ia, by comparison, a very mean and miserable village--ill-supplied with the net necessaries of life, and ill provided with ac- commodation for visitors. In the Lake district we see, in the same way, the effect of railway facilities at Furness Abbey, Coniston, Grasmere, Winder mere, and other places, where hotels have sprung up and villas have been erected, which afford accommodation both to passing travellers, and visitors who prolong their stay. On the south and west coasts aloo, we are all familiar with what railways have done for Hastings, St. Leonardo, Eastbourne, Brighton, Worthing, the Isle of Wight, and other places, even to Torquay. And here still more remains to be done. The Isles of Purbeck and of Portland have yet to be opened. The lovely coast from Lyme Regis t 3 Exmouth is at present but little frequented. The magnificent scenery of Kingabridge, Salcombe, and the Start Point, was said by a popular writer, not long ago, to be as unknown as Kamschatka, and it still remains to be opened by the access which the new railway to Dartmouth will partially afford to it. The effect of excursion traffic upon the face of the country is not, however, more remarkable than the effect upon the population. Both those who visit and those who are visited are improved by it. Amongst the best in their effects are those occa sional excursion trains, such u "MARCUS'S" or. the London and North Western, and the South Wales and West of England Ex cursions on the Great Western, which for less than 20s. carry the working population and servants of the metropolis to visit their friends in different parts of England, giving them a week or a fortnight, as they may have time to spare, to go and to return. These trains have not always been so well managed as they might be, mainly, per haps, because they are overcrowded. But this very fact illustrates how much they are sought after, and what benefits they afford. Probably there are few families in this metropolis who do not know of some poor person who has desired to take advantage of the " cheap excursion train " to visit relatives in the country, or scenes of early life rendered more dear and hallowed by recol lections of departed friends. The opportunity of getting to these distant points ouce a year, for • sum within the compass of almost the poorest, is a boon for which we have to thank the railway system. And this leads to the observation that this ex cursion traffic prove' a principle very important to be obeervedin railway affairs—namely, that tt e interests of the public and of the railway com• panies are identical, and not antagonistic. The great object of railway companies must be to in duce passengers to travel ; and the great induce ment to travel is a low scale of fares. Now, a low scale of fares is precisely what is wanted by that portion of the public who travel as excursionist' ; and accordingly, whilst the public who seek this sore of accommodation look for low rate; that which directorates and railway managers have to look for is the maximum amount of gross revenue they can obtain by affording the fullest facilities and temptations to travel to excursionists. In some cases (as in that of the Great Western, already referred to), it may be doubted whether this principle has been sufficiently regarded, and whether the line may not have suffered in consequence. It might be worth ascertaining what were the relative excursion traffics carried by the Great Western and the South Western during the past season ; and it may be still more worthy the consideration of rail way managers whether, now that excursion traffic in Great Britain is being so fully developed, new opportunities and facilities might not be afforded, even at reduced rates. It is to be borne in mind that excursion traffic costs nothing beyond the cost of running the trains. There is little or no " handling," as in the case of goods conveyed by railway ; the weight of the passengers is small, and ' consequently the cost for engine power less ; and if passengers require a superior description of car riage, that expense is compensated for by tie greater durability of passenger vehicles. In this view of the case excursion traffic might be conducted as cheaply as goods traffic or coal traffic, provided a relative amount was obtainable. And the question for railway managers is, whether such an amount as would pay could not be obtained at even lower rates than those now adopted. We submit this especially to the consideration of the enterprising managers of new lines. For what minimum sum could the London, Chatham, and Dover, for instance, carry excursion passengers from London to the sea coast and back with profit 1 Such questions are rot unworthy deliberate consideration by the companies which they concern.

I am sorry to say that affairs wear a very ominous aspect at present in Syria, and I trust they will receive the prompt and earnest attention of the Porte, In order that some wise and speedy remedy may be devised and put into immediate execution. The danger of a union of some of the discon tented tribes has been long since pointed out, and now seems to be on the eve of a disastrous realisation. The Arabs of the Desert, the Druses and the fietualis, are spreading commotion throughout the two provinces ; and ru mours continually reach us, from various districts, no doubt highly coloured, but founded unfortunately on painful facts, of serious encounters between the troops and the Arab tribes, in which the latter are too deep victorious—of cattle plundered, village§ pillaged, and human life ruthlessly sacri ficed. On the one hand, we are told that the Bodoni= of the Haman and the tribes of the banks of the Jordan are ripe for revolt ; and on the ether, we find an imperial war- teanter landing reinforcements of military in our port. No woods, then, that the merchants of Benoit tremble for the ad- Minces they love made on the cotton crop, and that • wide spread towline of uneasiness prevails. Many lay the blame of existing state of things at the door of the Vali of Damas cus, who is charged with great realism= and want of judgment in his conduct towards the tribes. A new broom tWOOFO clean ; and the governor of Damascus signalised his . 111CCISSIOO to office by a series of irritating expeditions against the Syrian sects—now against the Wahabeee of the Bedouins, now against the Metualis of Itaalbec, and at other times against the Druse peasants of the villages in the neighbourhood of Damascus—expeditions provoked oe very slight ground, and even sometimes, it is freely affirmed, without any substantial reason whatever. It is easy to conceive the exasperation which these expeditions excited amongst these various sects. At length the Vali dew at higher game, and (for what purpose except for notoriety it is difficult to imagine), undertook an expedition against the babe of Beniaaker, living to the ganef lake 'Tiberias. This tribe took refuge in the province of &vont. The mnchir, in assisting the Vali of Damascus to get rid of Beni-Saker. does not assn to have reflected that he was nachos them oo to the Paths of Beyrout, and that he had sot supplied alma Perla with the necessary forcer to resist them. In this strait, Cahoon Pacha was constrained to make the beat use be could of the material at his command, but, at the most critical moment, the chief of the irregulars, the famous free-lance Agbil Agho, refused to act ; donbtlem, he felt in his heart that the day which sees the 'remade, of the desert crushed, will seal his fate also ; but he hypocritically feigned to be offended at having his aid sought merely ►t the last moment, and, in Lammed indignation, threw up his command. Sines then the oeighbourhoods of Kaiffa, St. Jean d'Acre, and Jerusalem, bare been • prey Ito great disorder. The match had bees applied—and the train was fired. The chiefs of the Menasha smarting under • seen of sheer ill tresimentat the handed the Puha of Damascus, had already fled to the Houma, and allied themselves there with the disented Bedouins of the Ledja under the leadership of the no of Bina, who war killed last year by a Kurdish officer of Bmahi.Bazuks, and with the Drums refugees from Mount Lebanon. And so Syria is plunged again into confusion. The troops ■re harassed and attacked in differ rat directions ; communications are interrupted ; and several sharp engagements have taken place, in which the number of killed and wounded is said to be considerable. The other day nineteen wounded iol discs from the Mauna were brought into Damascus ; and it is • significant fact that on the 28th ult., the exportatiou of breadstuffs from that city was forbidden. The conduct of the muchir is most vacillating and purpose less, and one would almost fancy that be was emulous of the fate of Ahmet Pads. He has, however, despatched the governor of Daimons to the Routh to endeavour to patch rap matters there, and Cabonli Pacha, our local governer, has jnet started for St. Jean d'Acre with • battalion on a similar errand.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 7.3. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day declares as completely false the rumours circulated by the Austrian press, relative to an interview of a threatening character between the Russian ambas sador and A'ali Pacha on Polish affairs, and says : —"Neither the attitude of the Porte nor the pre sent relations of Russia and Turkey justify such a report" TURKEY. CONBTANTINOPLE, Ocr. 22. The publication of the budget has again been postponed. It is said that the Sultan now proposes a reduc tion in the direct taxes equal to the amount of the surplus. PASSENGERS FOR THE CAPE AND INDIA. PLYMOUTH., Ocr. 23. The screw steamer Golden Fleece passed off this port yesterday afternoon, with over 100 passengers, for the Cape and India. Among the former are Lieutenant-General Sir Percy Douglas, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief, and snits. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. MEXICO AND FRANCE. (nos elm own commarosnarr.) PARIS, THITIRSD4T En:IMM. I feel certain that from this day forth the French semi oßteial press (with perhaps an allowance for • decent period of transition) will receive orders to say that, after all, the freely-expressed wishes of the Mexican people are not in favour of having the Archduke Maximilian for their emperor, but that, instead, they would be glad to be purely and simply annexed to France, or to be governed by a F'reneb prince or a French general—or to have anything whatever done with them, which subsequent de liberation in the Tuileries may deem to be most expedient. You know that 1 have always steadily disbelieved that there was anything bond fide in the nomination of the Austrian archduke. So long ago as the original vote of Mar shal Forey's notables, giving • general power of appointment to the Emperor in ease of the archduke's refusal, I suggested that this vain youug man was merely used as a break water to conceal ulterior designs. Now, symptoms of the comedy being played out are crowding upon us. Just as it is found out in Europe that the guarantees which the archduke had been fooled into hoping he might get are not forthcoming, there comes an apropos letter in Bußier's Correspondence, dated (or supposed to be dated) " Vera Cruz, Sept. 18," which says : The choice of as Acultrian mines for an emperor is not popular. The people would rather haves Preach prince, or, # that is met persiole, a Premeds geiserul, just as was the ease formerly la Sweden. Then, is. moreover, • petty cow whirl NMI to be more numerous than any other, aced which cells for the pure sod ',mole annexation of Mexico to Prearse. The Austrian party cousins exclusively of a few intriguing and ambitious men greedy of place. This party h wafeetunately the only one which for the moment pones= of ebsonelsof publicity: Bravo ! Compare this with the reiterated war tos of the French semi-othcial press that the whole country, so far as it was emancipated from the oppression of Juarez, was unanimous and enthusiastic in favour of the Austrian prince. I am aware that the Cotastitutionnel only this morn ing pretends that certain " elections " in Mexinp are going on most favourably for the archduke. But then the Conatitutiotnel had not yet received the new orders. What is to me most significant is that the Muuiteur, which contains two or three columns of latest news from Mexico, abstains from printing a single word in favour of Maximilian. The Couatitutiotinet will very soon take its cue and get into the right groove. As to the rumour spread some time ago of a speedy evacuation of Mexico by the French, that is a thing not dreamt of. No lees than thirteen vessels are at this moment chartered to go out there with stores and provisions. News has been received that Dr. Adolphe Richard has arrived at Hanover, and that he found the wounded passengers of the " Giant" balloon going on well. He confirms M. Nadar'a last de spatch to the effect that the patients were well taken care of, and that although suffering they were better. M. Nader, according to the last accounts, has not both his legs broken, but merely his feet sprained (faxes). Dr. Richard is expected back in Paris to-morrow, and that fact is alone a good indi cation as to the state of the aeronauts. Some German papers received in Paris speak with wonderment of the passage of the balloon on certain points, but without knowing what it was or where it came from. It seems that while it was dragging near the earth it upset three or four tele graphic poets and broke several telegraphic wires. One of the grappling irons damaged the roof of • pavilion in a garden near Nieuburg, in Hanover, belonging to a hatter named Kapp. This anchor, with a long rope attached to it, remained in the garden and excited the inquisitive astonishment of the neigh bourhood. Another anchor was dropped in another garden belonging to aM. Nielle. These papers also say that in the ccurae of the balloon there were picked up several pieces of rope, some bits of iron, a speaking trumpet, and a hat, with the maker's address in it, Boulevard de Sebastopol. The latter piece of evidence suggests to the German intellect that " possibly the people in the balloon might be Parisians." The Cologne Gazette says that when the balloon came down it so completely covered the car that the travellers were extricated with the greatest difficulty. M. Eugene d'Arnoult, an editor of the Nation, writes to that journal a letter, dated Hanover, Oct. 20, from which it appears that although at the moment when the car came to the earth it was covered by the balloon as above described, yet that several of the passengers fell out separately before hand. He, M. d'Arnoult, fell upon his head, and was stunned for a minute. When he got up the balloon was driving on fur off. Wounded in the knee, be walked on by the aid of a stick through a forest, and presently heard groans. He found M. Saint Felix frightfully disfigured, his aim broken, and his face "one wound." M. Nader and his wife also fell out, and the latter into a river. The writer himself subsequently fell into the water, and reports that the cold bath did him good. The Bourse fluctuated gpeatly, the extreme prices of the Rents varying from 66fr. 90c. to 67fr. 20c. The highest was the closing quotation, the feeling being better towards the close, in conse quence of the Bank not having raised its discount and of a belief in the falsity of the news that the Three Powers were agreed upon an ultimatum to St. Petersburg. THE LATE BALLOON JOURNEY. LETTER FROM ONE OF THE PASSENGERS. M. Eugene Arnoult, one of the passengers in M. Nadar's balloon, writes as follows to the Paris Nation : Hanover, Tneaday, Oat. 20. My dear Editor,—You row as leave the Champ de Mass oil Sunday. You were witesse of the majestic 'scout of the Giant, rising into the sir amidst the applause of the crowd. They cried to us from below, " Bon toyage.'" Alm At 9 o'clock at night we were at Erqueliees ; we passed over Melees, and towards midnight we were in Holland. We rase up very high, but it woe necessary to come down to see where we were. Ignorant of that, our position was a critical one. Below, el far as we could see, were marshes, and in the distance we oould hear the roar of the see. We threw out ballast and mounting again soon lost eight of the earth. What a night! No body slept, as you may suppose, for the idea of falling into the oft had nothing pleasant about it, and it was necessary to keep a look out in order to effect, if necessary, • descent. My compass showed that we were going towards the east ; that is to say, towards Germany. In the morning, after • frugal breakfast made in the clouds, we re-descended. An immense plain was beneath us, the villages appeared to us like children's toys—rivers seemed like little rivulets—it was magical. The sun shone splendidly over all. Towards 8 o'clock we arrived near a greet lake—there I found out our bearings, and announced that we were at the end of Holland, near the sea. We were compelled to think of landing in order to Mks in a little ballast. Unhappily the heavens had made us forget the earth, over which blew a wind so violent that in • few minutes our anchors, enormous fulcrums of iron, were broke's. The valve was shut, and the balloon, which could carry us no longer, began • giddy career. We TOM from 20 to 30 metres, and fell with incredible force. Little by little the balloon ceased to rise end the car fell upon its aide. Then began a furious, disordered race; ell disap peared before us—trees, thickets, wells, all broken or burst through by the shock :it wee frightful. Sometimes it was • lake, in which we plunged; • bog, the thick mud of which entered our months sod our eyes. It was maddening. "Stop! stop!" we shoutel,enrsged with the monster who was drag ging us along. A railway was before us—a train passing ; it stopped at our cries, but we carried away the telegraphic poets and wire. An instant afterwards we perceived in the distanoe • red house; I see it now; the wind bore us straight for this house. It was death for all, for we should be dashed to pieces. No one spoke. Strange to say, of those a u e perms, one of whom was a lady, who were alining to a slender screen of osier, for whom every second seemed counted—not one bed any fear. All tongues were mute, all feces were calm. Nader held hie wife, covering her with his body. Poor woman ! Every shock break her to p i ec es . . . . . . . ides Godard th en tried and accomplished an act of sub. lime heroism. He clambered up into the Dottie& the I shocks of which were so terrible that three times he fell os my head ; at length he reached the cord of the valve,opesed it, and the gas having • way of escape the monster sewed to rise, tut it still shot along in a horizontal line with pro digious rapidity. There were we squatting down epos the frail osier oar. " Take cute !" we tided when a tree wee is the way ; we turned from is, sod the tree was broken ; but the balloon was disehargisg its gm, and, if the immense plain we were erasing had yet a few leagues we were eared. But soddenly a forest appeared in ' the horizon ; we roust leap out at whatever risk, for the car would be dashed to pieces at the first collision with those trees. I got down into the car, and, raising myself I know not bow—for I suffered from • wound in my knees— my trousers were torn ; I jumped, and made I know not how many revolutioes, and fell upon my head. After a minute's dizziness I rose. The ear was then far off. By the aid of a stick I dragged myself to the forest, and having gone • few steps I heard some groans. Saint Felix was sketched so the soil frightfully disfigured—his body was one wound. He had aa arm broken, the sheet too, and ea saute dialocated. The car bad disappeared. After emus* a river. I heard • cry. Hadar was stretched on the groaad with • dislocated thigh; his wife had fallen into the river. Another oompaniou was shattered. We eocupied ourselves with St. Felix and Nader and his wife. Is trying to waist the latter I was nearly drowned, for I fell into the water and sank. They picked me up spin, and I found the bath had done me good. By the amiatooos of the inhabitants the I salvage was got together. Vehicles were brought ; they placed us upon straw. lfy knees bled ; my loins sad head seemed to be like mincemeat ; but I did not lose my pre sence of mind an instant, and for a second I felt humiliated at looking from the tram of straw at those clouds which in the night I bad had under my leek It wee in this way we reached Anthem, in Hanover. In 17 boon we had made nearly 250 leagues. Our course in/creek bed covered a spice of three leagues. Now that it is over I have some shuddering& It does not signify ; we have made a good journey, and I marvel to see with what indifference we may regard the most frightful death, for besides the prospect of being dashed about on our way we had that of gaining the sea, sod how long should we have lived then lam glad to have seen this—happier yet at having to narrate it to you. These Germans who surround us are brave people, and we have been ea well oared for u the resources of the little spot will allow. P.S. —I have just reached Hanover with my companions, end re-open my letter to tell you so. The Ring has sent an aidede-cemp to us. Are we at the end of our reverses At any rate Ism consoled to think they can no looser laugh at us at Paris. We have kept our promises, and more. TAE NEW ARCHBISHOP OP DUBLIN. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) He must stand or fall upon his own merits be fore the church in Ireland. It la not for as to anticipate the judgment, but we have • word of counsel to offer to both parties. We sincerely trust the error committed in the case of Archbishop Wbately may not be repeated, and that Dr. Stanley may not be forced into a hostile attitude to the mass of the clergy, and into the arms of a narrow clique, by any hasty prejudgment. On the other hand, we most sincerely, ►nd in the friendliest warn Dr. Stanley against • similar error upon his part. If be accept the high °aloe tendered to him, he should come here prepared to do justly ; and, that he may do so, to look at men and things through oo medium but that of his own eyes and his own sense of justice. (From the Dublin Express.) There is no doubt that the see of Dublin has bees offered to Canon Stanley. It is said that ha has refuted an Eng. limb bishopric. Whether he will accept the higher and more responsible position of Archbishop of Dublin we are not able at present to my with certainty, but we may assume with some confidence that he will not decline a post so honourable and so important. We deeply regret that them upon whom has devolved the solemn Gut of selecting men for the episcopal bench have not found any Irishmen who, in their opinion, pommies the combination of qualities that the office requires is the present critical times. It would be very strange, indeed, if the Irish church could not furnish • man fully capable of occupy ing with effect its highest post, though unfortunately there was none of the bishops whose claims were so un doubted and conspicuous as to win the unanimous approval of the Dublin clergy, not to speak of the clergy in other dioceses. If Lord Palmerston knew the Irish clergy better, he would not, perhaps, have gone beyond them in searching for a man to wear the vacant mitre. But, having dose so, he I seems to have made, all things considered, the beet choke that could be made of a smixesor to Archbishop Whately. . . In sending to Dublin a man of exalted position, academic and ecclesiastical, who has woo such bleb distinction in the ranks el literature es au accomplished divine—a man who stands Co high in royal favour, and who exert' so wide an influeoce in the church of his native omintry—Lord Palmerston gives ►n answer to the assailants of the Irish establishment. He sends to occupy its most important post a man who has been universally regarded es one of the highest ornaments and brightest lighte of the English branch of the united church. This is • pleige that the union is to be maintained, that both will be treated as one, and that, as Ireland pia bishops from England, so England will get bishops from Ireland. It will take several of the latter to redress the balance, and carry out the pi inciple of equal rights and privileges.

THE CAULDON CLERICAL SCANDAL.—Much ex citement continues to prevail in the moorland district of Staffordshire, is consequence of the extraordinary course mut 1 by the Rev. P. Henniker , the incumbent Ceuldon. On Sunday there was a large muster of people in and around Cauldon Church, but Mr. Hthoiker had contrived to get away from the village for • time, and his place in church was taken by a clergyman from Ashbourne. On Wednesday, at the Leek petty sessioos, the cue in which Mr. Henniker was charged with an assault upon one of his parishioners was called on, when it was stated on the part of the rev. defendant that • compromise had been effected.

(Before Mr. Oornmiesioeer Goulburn. ) IX al BMW orr.—ma. Aumpoets come. —moms sumo' His Honour, referring to the application made yesterday by Mr. Ring, said that a most erroneous statement had beers made in roe report of the ODIN to the effect (reading from the report in the Ties*, but without naming the paper), that Mr. Aldridp had not only paid himself his own costs, but had retained the surplus of the assets. This was quite contrary to the truth, and had never been rtir. mimed for a moment. Having regard to the notes and confusion which prevailed in the court all day it was not at all surprising that cases were not reported correctly ; but this was as error of DO serious • nature that it ought to be set right at once. Mr. Aldridge had received nottusg but the amount of his hazed ow*. The surplus meta were received, as they ought to be, by the official wi p es. said this was the cans. The only money he had evlorti e ved was the amount of hie lased coats. His Honour said the whole sub *t was of so nalch im. portaoce, as to whether Mr. AldriWs costs or those or the I solicitor to the petitioner should have the preference, that be should take an early opportunity of having it fully con. sidered.

His Honour said the question was whether the woman was to be kept in custody for ever on account of her f anc i e d right to the property. Suck circumstances were sever coo. templated for a moment in the passing of the act ; the bankrupt would therefore take her whose from custody. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.)

Mr. Smart appeared for the appellants ; Mr. Poised for the respondents.. This was a very curious came—the settlement of a pauper named Jasper Sumner Anton, being based on what is called& settlement by estate by marriage, in which he clain,rd his settlement in the pariah of Bark*, in Essex. It seemed that about forty three . years ago Norton married • woman who was in the stemma of a cottage, for which she _paid Is. 6d. per week rent After the marriage be went to live with hie wife in this cottage, and remained there for about • year and • half, and he bad never sines the. resided more than ten miles from Barking. On these grounds it was contended that this estate gave him the right of settlement in the appellant parish. Mr. Smart, in support of the appeal, cited the case of " The Queen v. Tborntos," where a similar claim was made for an estate by marrying a widow who rented a house with a cootinuous residua*. I. that ease Mary Collins. in 1819, was tenant of and residing in a cellar of a cottage, for which she paid Is. per week rent. She married J. W., who resided with his wife, occupied the tenement for seven years and paid the mot weekly. Os this case being brought before the Court of Queens Bench la 1860, the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn held that the man war here in possession of a continuing estate for the required time ; and Justice Crompton said the real interest of the woman wee from week to week until deter mined, and the husband came into possession, not by rest. log a tenement, but he acquired the seat* by mar riage, sod having resided there 40 days. That gave him a settlement, unless it was made out affirmatively that the estate was put an cod to, and the only question was if be took on the marriage • sew estate ; but there war no evidence of any such surrender, and the order was accordingly coofirmed. This case was identical with that nowbeforethe court. . . . hir7iaZiVaii;;;;Wistial difference took place in the present coma as after the smarmy the man went to the land.
