WRITERS and speakers at the autumn public meetings go on talking, as for several years past, of " drawing attention to " the condition of Labourers' Cottages. But after the disclosures which have been made by a series of Sanitary Inspectors, in many agricultural counties, capped by the reports of Mr. SAMUEL CLARXE of the condition of Norfolk labourers' dwellings, it can hardly be inattention that has first to be combatted. Well as agriculture has prospered for the seventeen years since its libe ration, and much as we hear of the improving in telligence and the rising wages of the farm servant, it is still true that he comes home from his work to discomfort, damp, and stench, that the rotting thatch under which he sleeps drops dirt and in sects upon him as he lies, and that he sees his young children corrupted before his eyes by the indecency of habits which, in his hovel, he cannot prevent. All this is well known. It is neither unnoticed nor forgotten. There is something more wanted than drawing attention to the evil. If inattention is not the obstacle to a complete reform—what •is f What are the points which in the speeches of the last week or two seem to be the essentials of the case f All these speakers are agreed that the Law of Settlement is mainly answerable for the deficiency of labourers' dwellings, by having offered an induce ment to separate the labourer's place of residence from his place of work. Everybody praises the relaxations which have already taken place in the law ; and some hope confidently, and some spoon late timidly about its total abrogation before long. To repeal it would no doubt be a bold step—a passing over from one system of industry to another ; but if it is still a question whether the new freedom could work more disastrously than the old feudal tie or bond, the matter will soon be beyond the range of choice. If the rural labourer is not retrieved by strenuous exertions under the remaining Law of Settlement, the law will have to give way to the necessities of the labourer first, and his employer after him. It is noticeable that speakers who say just the same things about the Settlement Law make oppo. site statements about the immediate causes of the mischief. While one is eloquent on the impolicy of putting the peasantry into hovels, like pig stym, far away from their occupation, so that they have not vigour and energy to do their work properly, another complains that them are not worthy tenants for such good cottages as there are. Lord WAS/LNG/UM says he has himself built good cottages for which he cannot find tenants qualified to work on his land. Here is a vicious circle which the landed interest must get out of, and certainly can get out of whenever it choose.. Hem, on the one hand, are group, of miserable clowns, feeble in body from nnrefreshing sleep, in prepared food, insufficient clothing, and long walks to and from their work. These, it is said, would not only spoil a good dwelling if they were put into it, but cannot earn such wages as would pay the rent. Here, on the other hand, are cottages standing empty, because tenants who earn good wages by superior work do not offer, and cannot be found. The aria wort° this is, that Lord WiLI3INGBAX'S neighbourhood most be a miserably degraded one. Whichever way we turn in the rural districts, where any sort of justice is done to agriculture, we hear of, and witness for ourselves, the striking and steady improvement of the peasantry, under the development of the arts of tillage. Wage. are still strangely unequal—being fifteen or sixteen shillings in one county for the same work that ob tains seven or eight in another; but that even in the most backward districts there has been some rise of wages, and that on the whole the labourers of the new generation are brighter and more effectively industrious than their fathers, is one of the great topics of congratulation of the day. Wherever the steam-engine has gone to work in the fields, the people round teem to have wakened up as from a dream ; and to a multi tude of our rural labourers the event has been as an entrance upon a new life. Are these people, thus become men instead of slow-going machines, to be still housed like brutes, as they were when they could earn only the pay of half-idiots f Lord Warensansx will not have to wait long for worthy tenants of good cottages when the steam-cultivator has fairly got into use in his parish and beyond it. As it is, the reina is obvious that his work is done, or he would not go on farming, or letting his farms. Those who do the work ought to have the decent home which it should naturally earn ; and the low, ricketty, stupid, lazy clowns whom be describes as herding together in vile rookeries, can hardly be the farm servants concerned. in the question of good lodging for the local labour. If the work gets done, the workers have a claim to such treat ment as will keep up their capacity. In no case can there be any justification for providing insufficient dwellings or none. The safest course, in regard to outward gain as well as inward repose, is to provide the dwell ings at all events, and then do the bed that offers for training good tenants for they. This is the course which will secure the highest profits from the farm henceforth, and the lowest figure of poor-rate hereafter. A high quality of labour on the soil and a low level of pauperism will much more than pay for any cost of cottage building, in any county in England. If such is the promise on the one hand, end if, on the other, the doubt will be settled, as we are assured, by an inevitable scarcity of rural labour before long, the ease ought to need no further urging on the attention of country gentlemen. If their only chance of not being left to plough their own fields and tend their own stock is engaging the services and goodwill of their present labourers by placing comfort and advancement within their reach, they might be glad to spend money on cottages as they 11111 mom THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1863. d 1 on fences—not for profit, or even reproduc tion, but for simple preservation. This is far from being necessary ; but there is • surprising lack of information disclosed in much that is talked and written just now about the cost of cottage building, nor does the repetition of the topic from year to year seem to lead to precision of knowledge. The Society of Arts has re cently published a circular, which offers prizes for plans for dwellings and appurtenances, costing 1001., whereas there is no part of England where such cottages could be built, of good quality, and with such appurtenances, for less than 1301., and for so little only where the chief materials are on the spot. This is a matter on which accurate information may be obtained by any careful in quirer. It is easy to find out how cheap builders squeeze out their profits, and what is the lowest price of good conditions and sound work. In a rocky region of England a substantial and well-con ditioned cottage of four rooms and a lean-to can be built for 601., and will need no repairs for a gene ration to come ; but even there each a dwelling as the Society of Arta proposes can no more be built for 1001. than the Houses of Parliament could. They do not intend to give their prizes for such work as speculators in cheap town cottages get done for 100/. ; and this being the case, it is merely misleading to society generally, and country gen tlemen in particular, to pretend that so much can be done for the money. No less mischievous is it to assume that rural labourers can pay such rents as we see proposed. Whatever rent is necessary to return the ordinary interest of capital, after pay ing rates, tenants of every order will ultimately have to pay ; and the peasant will then have, as of course, such wages as will enable him to pay that rent. This will be the ultimate solution of the difficulty, beyond all question. What has to be done first should be clearly understood. The peasant class is already rising through the advancement 1 1 of the art by which they live. Those who cannot improve will be on and off the rates fora time, and then die out. The better sort will earn more money, and command more comfort ; and, if their employers are wise, the first comfort they will ob tain will be a decent and wholesome dwell ing, for which they will be able by ( that time to pay, as rent, ordinary in terest on the capital invested, with somewhat over for repairs. Where farm-servants get fifteen shillings a week, they can and do pay i L • year rent for a dwelling which is worth it. While such an order of rural labourers is forming, the truest economy of landlords is to be building cottages which shall keep good men on their land; and the best wisdom of tenant farmers will be to stipulate with their landlords for this sound means of purchase of a sufficiency of labour, and, if ne cessary, to invest some small portion of their own capital in aid of the arrangement. As for the rest of the citizens, they ought to see that the whole power of the law, and the whole strength of the sanitary authorities, are brought to bear against such pest-holes and dens of iniquity as the Norfolk labourers' dwellings, described by Mr. CLUILL That such an abase and disgrace should exist in • country where rural magnates speed their money with a magnificence which makes strangers stare, is one of the mysteries which will, we trust, not exist for a future generation of squires to boggle Over at autumnal meetings of the landed interest. AN ACT or BIGOTRY IN BELGIUM. A few days ago the Journal de Charleroi pub lished some pardealan of a brutal ant of istoleranae on the pert of the bergemester at the earemnse of Raman, near Charleroi.

THE MONSTER BALLOON. (ram OUR owl cosazsroinmer.) PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The instinctive apprehension of the Parisians which I noticed yesterday, that the giant balloon would not go far, is borne out by the event. All the provisions for a four or five days' sojourn in the air, the six hampers of wine, the printing press for dropping down upon distant countries the hourly accounts of its progress, the revolvers for self-defence in case of landing in the dominions of the King of Dahomey, were all laid in and accu mulated in vain. After a slow journey of four hours, in which scarcely more than forty miles were achieved, the balloon was compelled to de scend near Meaux. The whole party has already returned to Paris, and M. Nader writes to the papers the following account of his voyage : Paris, Oct. 5. Here, as briefly as possible, is the account which you asked ms to send. Yesterday evening, at 9 o'clock, the "Giant" was compelled to descend near the Barcy Marsh, two leagues from Meaux, after three violent shocks, the hst of which completely turned e►erything in the car tom luny, and it desoended on its side The rupture of our safety pipe rope while travelling by night forced us to throw out our anchors. One of the prongs of the first anchor having broken, the pristinel anchor fortunately took hold of the ground. We were able to let out the gas, notwith standing the violence of the 'dad, and the ear was set up at half-past lin the morning. Some slight oontus:ons and • contusion of the knee of one of the passengers—that is our receipt in full. It is not too dear. (Signed) A.

At the last moment K de Villemessant, of the Figaro, who had taken his place to go up, was Toted oat, as being the heaviest man, and, much pro'esting, he left his place amidst great laughter. Madame Nader did not ascend. It is announced that a second ascension will be made from the Champs de Maze on Sunday, OctoberlB, and it is hoped with better luck. Galignani says :—" The Princess de la Tour d'Auvergne was taking her usual drive to the Bois de Boulogne when, observing an unusual movement in the neighbourhood of the Invalides, and having inquired the cause, she ordered her coachman to drive to the Champ de Mars. Having seen the balloon she expressed • ' wish to make the ascent, and, although M. Nader bad to the last moment refused to take any lady, and even his own wife, he could not resist the entreaty of the princess." The Pays contradicts in even more explicit terms than it has been using every day for the last week the assertion that French diplomacy is at this moment actively engaged in negotiations about the Polish question. It says that from the beginning France did not allow the other two powers to " remain in ignorance" of her readiness to give a sanction by acts to diplomatic communications ; but that England and Austria do not seem disposed to go as far as France would wish to do. Under these circumstances "France has evidently nothing new to do, and nothing to propose." She has only to wait till the other two powers think fit to communicate their ideas and make some proposition to her. That is the direction in which the public must look if it wants fresh news. As to Austria the Pays can see not the smallest indi cation of any new element in the question. With regard to England Lord Russell's speech at Blair ' gowrie was doubtless important. "It seems to ' imply a proposal on the part of England." France cannot but approve of the English minis• terns declaration concerning the treaties of 1815, but "it is for England now to give this declare,- tion an official value and a sanction. She may be ' quite sure that if she decides for action Frame ' will be found ready." Yon will probably agree -with me that the peevish, ironical, provoking tone ' of this article contrasts strangely with the assertion r of the same Pays, only four or five days old, that r the "moat perfect understanding continued to prevail between the three powers."

The Grand Duchy of Posen continiie;siol;e the seems of arrests, imprisonments, and confiscations. As in Russian Po lan d, it is the intelligent and wealthy classes that suffer the most, as constituting in themselves the life and soul of the Polish element, which Prussia is as eager to destroy as her savage neighbour. The most recent arrests have been those of K Dubrewaki, a member of the last Chamber of Deputies • K Ilowiecki, a landowner ; and Count Victor filzadrski. The latter, who has completely lost the use of his legs for fifteen years from a stroke of paralysis, was carried by the soldiery from the station to the cab, and from the cab to the prison at Berlin, much to the indignation of the inhabi tants, who at length became so vehement in their expressions of disgust, that the authorities have thought it prudent to send him back to his estate. As for the rest of the gen tlemen who have been imprisoned since the insur r Jetion began, no preparatiou whatever is made for their trial, the most eminent of the Prussian jurists having declared that they are innocent of any crime that is punishable by the Prussian law ; but they are still detained in prison because they are in the way of the government in the two chief aims of its policy—the enslavement of the Prussian people and the Germanisation of the Poles. The first of these aims would, of course, have found strenuous oppo nents in the Polish gentlemen who, had they been free, would have been elected deputies of the Chamber • and the latter is being ra pidly advanc ed the se questration of the estates of the Polish prisoners, which are in such cases always given in charge to 11 * German administrators, who wute the substance of ;To owner, and viten bring him to ruin.

DAT. —Down to a late hour this morning the pitman who mortally stabbed the Irishman, Martin Lusiey, in the Soots wood-rod, in this town. on Saturday night, ham evaded the police. He is described as a little bow-legged rose, sad left his hat behind him when he made his escape. appears to have brought his death upon himself. He been drinking with some companions in a oubliette's@ in Ord-street, and had turned out of it about 20 minutes post 7 in the evening in company with some others of his cemeteries's, all under the influence of drink—he, with the view of proceediog by the half-past 7 o'clock train to Suederland, to bring his wife home. In proceeding along the Spotswood-road towards the Cattle-market they met two pitmen, one of them carrying & bandbox sod some parcels. Luckey, without any provocation, knocked the bandbox out of the hand of the pitinsa, and it would seem that he and his companions were lodised to ill-use him. when his companion stepped up, and a fight ensued. It is not certain whether Lnskey or the pitman was knocked down ; one was, and upon his getting up soils Luckey was dota -1 fully stabbed in the neck. With assistance he was taken to a chemist's shop. kept by Mr. Jobsoa, and was attended by Dr. Ellis, who lives close by. The deceased had hem stabbed about two inches below the ear, the wooed being three Welles deep, and bodied upon the floor of the chemist's shop a few minutes after he was taken in. There was pod deal of excitement in Newcastle oa Saturday and Sun day about this murder, but the 'bore ere the facts of the notortimate man's death. It seems a singular thing, how. ever, that in a crowded thoroughfare ouch as that of Seem wood-road in thin town the mat who committed this offence should have escaped so readily, and should have evaded the detective eke so long, but such is the ease.

The French journals continue to attribute the refusal of the present government of Madagascar to ratify the treaty made with M. Lambert, Duke d'Emyrne, to the hostile influence of Mr. Ellis, the English missionary. They say that the Queen is a prisoner in her palace, and they insinuate that Mr. Ellis is her gaoler. THE MEXICANS AND THE AUSTRIAN ARCHDUKE. The Paris Nation, though a very decided impe rialist journal, is one of those friends of the empire which thinks the dynasty has everything to lose by waging remote wars for Quixotio purposes. It therefore throws ridicule upon the address pre sented to the Archduke Maximilian by the deputa tion from Marshal Forey's notables. These are its observations : The finger of God, moreover, has pointed out the arch duke to the unanimous choke of a whole nation, and the prince cannot refuse the crown offered to him spontane ously, and with so much enthusiasm, without thwarting the dodo' of Providence. From the moment that M. de Estrada is in the Divine confidence, and that Provides°e has declared itself so dearly, it would be bad grace for us to cavil in such a matter, and we could not even, with out impiety, ask— . . . "Par qu els secrets remade, par quill miebalnement Le del "441 ooaduit ce grand evenement ?" The archduke, however, without protesting against the de crees of Heav-e, required, in order to submit to them, the approbation of hie august brother. He has obtained it, but still feels mate scruples. In hi reply the follow ing phreee will be remarked, in which he lays down his conditions and make' his narrations : "The monarchy is that country cannot be estakdiabsd oe solid and legitimate bases until the whole nation shall have confirmed, by a free manifestation of its will, the wishes of the capital. On the result of the whole country. I most therefore maks my acceptance of the offered throne depend.' ln ahoti, there ar• many more "ifs" and "buta" in this pru dent reply ; and the archduke, is spite of the affirmations of M. de Estrada, does not appear to be yet quite convinced that Providence destines him for the empire of Mexico. We shall see whether the eloquence of the &patellae will wo oled in removing these last doubts of as Maud cos @plower. (Amines =mamma.) AMERICA. GENERAL BURNSIDE'S POSITION. MEADE'S ARMY ON THE MOVE. (Per the Damsels.) NEW YORK, Ear. 28, NOON. General Burnside has reached a point where he is expected to prevent a flank movement by the Con federates.

PARIS, Ocr. & The Emperor and the Imperial Prince arrived on Sunday evening at Bordeaux, where they re mained yesterday. They are expected in Paris to day. The Coutitutionne/ of to-day, in an article signed by M. Lit:oars; contemns the exaggerations of MM. Gudroult and Emile do Girardin, and says :—" The imperial policy knows how to ally prudence with firm ness. It is incorrect to say France is responsible for the blood shed in Poland. The Polish question has entered a new phase in consequence of the decla ration of Earl Russell concerning the treaties of 1815. Upon this new ground France will do her duty, as she bas done in the recent negotiations, and will not give way to passionate excitement. Conservative France has no more to fear an adventurous war under the negotiator of the peace of Villafranca, than liberal France has to fear a compromising peace under the conqueror of Solferino."
