A SPECIAL EDITION d the "EXPRESS," seataising the results of the day's Races, is pub lished every evening daring the Sporting Selma, at six o'clock. " Taut no-meaning puzzles more than wit." Whether it be owing to the wit of the thing, or to its no-meaning, we will not take upon ns to say ; but certainly the comments of the Times, in its issue of yesterday, apropos of the will of the Duchess of ORLEANS, are sufficiently puzzling. " The present repose of France," says the Time ardffidarly, " and her amicable relations towards this " senntry, ought not to be molested for any slight " ems." " Good seutences, and well pronounced," as Portia says. But what is there to " molest" these amicable relations ? Is the Emperor of the Favecn about to insist that since the pro secutions of Tnuetovit and TCHIANOWSM hare been dropped, the publisher of the will of the Duchess of ORLEANS shall be prosecuted instead of them? Or is his Inrsaitt MAJESTY about to require the ►xtradition of the Prises' of the House of ORLEANS, for having allowed the will to be published? And, in the event of a negative answer being returned to either or both of these modest demands, is Cherbourg to be loosened from its moorings and hurled at our heads ? The Times seems really afraid that the publication of the will of the Duchess of ORLEANS in the English journals, if not exactly made a maw Deli by the EM- P EROS, may be put forward as the motive of a request to have the surviving members of the House of Oitt.r.ins sent away from England. For the Time, has mustered all the logic it possesses to demonstrate beforehand that such a request would be un reasonable. This would have been no very difficult task had it not been for the unlucky circumstance that the Moire was not long ago so loud in its advo: early of compliance with the EMPEROR'S wish to have the Republiciui Proserits turned out of Eng land. Aooording to the Times the will of the Duchess of ORLEANS is a much more periloua paper for Lot•ts NAPOLEON than anything the liberal exiles could publish. The Republicans and Socialist., according to our contemporary, have no hold whatever on the range and sen sible portion of French society ; Frames is weary of them, and they may write and speak their besets out, sad yet produce no effect. But, according to the same authority, the Duchess's will is a document that cannot fail to leave a strong im pression upon French public opinion. Its mere pub lication will keep the EMPEROR to his good beha viour in so far as the French people are concerned. It is so charming that every Frenchman will, unless Louis NAPOLEON is a very good boy indeed, be anxious to get rid of him in order to place on the throne the son of the woman who could entertain such high-minded thoughts, and ex press them so admirably. The Times is therefore in a dilemma. After insisting upon the expulsion of the Socialists and Republicans, whose presence here can, it says, do no harm to Louts NA POLEON, with what face can it advocate the reten tion of the Orleaniat Princes, whose presence here, it maintains, is a "standing menace" to the NtroLzoll dynasty? The Time may have argu ments to show that the eases are d.fferent ; bat it has not taken the trouble to produce them. It has cut the Gordian knot by making its absolute dictums stand in place of argument. It declares now that the Orleanist Princes cannot, and ought not, to be given up or expelled ; just as it declared formerly that the Socialist and Republican prosrrits ought to be given up or expelled, and does not even con descend to attempt to reconcile these contradictory decisions. For the loyal adherents of the principle of free thought and free speech—for the loyal adherents to England's inherited policy of affording an asylum to all political exiles—the case has none of that diffi culty which it has for our rmtemporary. They do not need to beat about the bush, and make apologies. They are free to declare that the Emperor of the FRENCH has so right to take umbrage at the eo♦ Booed residence of the Orleaniet Princes in this country, eves though they have published some thing that displeases, and may endanger him. The principle of English constitutional law is, that the contendiogpolitioisns of any foreign countryshall not fight their battles or levy war against each other in English ground ; but that they are fres— by their voices or their writings, or through the press—to scold each other to their hearts' content. Bo long as they remain among us their bands are tied, but their tongues are at liberty. The people of England will protect their guest" of the House of ORLEANti so long as these guests respect the laws of England. This hospitality they have afforded, and will afford, to the members of that House, not from any affection for them personally. The males of the lionmi of ORLEANS have no claims upon the people of England. The insidious treachery of Loots PHILIPPE, while professing such a paternal interest in our QUEEN, has not been forgotten ; nor the DR JOINVILLE pamphlets, stimulating the French people to go to war with England. The hospitality extended to the Oatx.txe family as exiles is due, not to their deserts, but to the character of England. Englishmen would be degraded in their own eyes if they refused a shelter to political exiles, even though these exiles may have incurred banishment through their own misconduct, and may have behaved shabbily to u in the day of their prosperity. It would scarcely have been necessary to Ohm this principle ow the present °evasion bat for the opportunity it affords to carry home conviction to the minds of those who would deny an uylom to all exiles, except to those with whose principles they sympathise, or for whose rank they entertain a servile veneration. There is no chance of our being called upon at present to assert, either by words or deeds, our right to grant an asylum to political exiles. LOUIS NAPOLIWN has more sense than to be angry because the Princes of the House of ORLEANS are for the time domiciled among us, and allowed to give publicity to the remarkable will of a lady nearly allied to them, who, u she was respected by all when alive, is regretted by all when dead. The Emperor of the FRENCH may venture to ask for the extradition of some unlucky Republican, Is, in doing so he knows he would have the sym pathy of every despot in Europe. But he will 00i TOP WO so much as to hint at the expulsion of Priaces,for ▪ knows that to do so would awaken the ire of every crowned head around him. And even though Loots NAPOLEON should in his secret soul have a hanker ing after war with us, he is in no condition to indulge that amiable longing. It is all very well to talk of his soldiers and sailors, of his cannon and his fleet. War now, as formerly, " moves on two main nerves " —iron and gold." He has the iron, but where is he to get the money? It takes pretty hard work to square his :year's incomings and outgoings, even in a time of peace. The press of Paris is gagged ; but strange stories circulate freely in Parisian salons about the shifts he is put to in order to come by ready money. How sill he raise enough of it to set has army in motion if he go to war with m? Will he come into the Money Market for a loan ? Which of the great capitalists of Europe will discount his bill when he asks for funds to equip a fleet for the invasion of England? Will they take in pawn the prospective pleader of London ? Will they buy the skin of the bear before it is caught ? Even though Louis NAPOLEON be disposed to indulge the war liks propensities of his army, it is not at the ex pense of a war with England that he will do so.

General Niel Is now engaged on a report which his been demanded of him by the Emperor. The general sooompanied his Majesty daring his late visit to this port, and with him examined all its Maass. The work of Vauban hes had its day, and it ia generally admitted by all who are conversant with the subjeot, that the don of our meats and of our first naval port most be modiffei so as to respond better to the changes which have taken plass in the art of war. The question will not be to enlarge or improve the present de fences, but to remodel them entirely, on principles which differ in a mesterei:ilia' manner from the old system. It is on this aubjeot that General Niel Ma to make a report. Brittany has often been called the Bceatia of France. A recent criminal trial at Rennes goes far to show that the diapason of intelligeuoe which prevails among the worshippers at the shrine of St. Anne of Away still justifies the appellation. At a small farm called Carnot, near Lorient, a widow named Roperch lived in straightened circumstances for many years. The rent of her farm was leas than 101. a year, and the profits, as may readily be con ceived, were but slender. Ten years ago she, for the first time in her life, borrowed a sum of money. The amount would not have been thought large at the Bourse, but among the peasants of Brittany it was considerable—it was 10h. (Bs. 4d.) This sum she duly paid at maturity, and her punc tuality was spoken of among her neigh bours. At this time she desired to become the possessor of a certain cow, and not having money enough to bay it she availed herself of her good credit to borrow 60fr. for a stated period. When this latter sum became due Madame Roperch had some difficulty in meeting it. She, however, effected a new loan, but this time at a high rate of interest. She bad now got entirely out of her depth. A sum approaching to 41. was something far beyond her ordinary resources to provide. Bat she had acquired a fatal facility for borrowing as each loan became due; she borrowed at high and often increasing interest a further loan to pay it off. The presses went on undiscovered and unsuspected for ten years, the widow Roperch living all the time in the same poor way that she had ever done, and carrying on no business beyond the cultivation of her very little farm. She paid the in terest on her loans, and the principal when called for, so exactly that her reputation as a wealthy person spread far and wide. She had no longer any occasion to ask for money. It was pressed upon her. When she went to market to sell her eggs and cabbages people came to her stall with money bags and entreated her to accept them. Instances are cited of farm labourers raising themselves to the conditions of proprietors by the enormous interest, varying from 60 to 120 per cent. paid to them for I years together by the widow Roperch. Village marriages were made, and village shops set up from the proceeds of small investments with the marvellous widow. How she was able with such small apparent means to meet such large demands was a subject of great wonderment and disourrion in the country. The popular opinion was that she possessed " the black cat" who is the devil's cousin, and can get money without stint. But some few strong-minded people who laughed at superstition said that she mast be employed by government to borrow money from the people for the purpose of carrying on public works in Paris. When interrogated as to her need of large fund.,, her only answer was, " That is my secret ;" bat she discouraged the idea of the black , cat, end also that of her being a government agent. A time at length came when, being suddenly called upon to repay a loan of 400 fr., she had not the money; in despair she rose from her seat, and threw herself into a well in her garden. She was rescued, and although the noise of this event shook her credit for a moment, the fact of her not being prosecuted led to the belief that she was supported by the court. of justice, and people went on lending to her with as much confidence as ever. At last the catastrophe came. The widow, the trusted, the infallible widow, became irregular in her payments. The rustic usurers, Whose covetous ness she had created and fostered, became furious and vindictive. Her field and garden were invaded by her creditors with spades and pickaxes, search ing for treasure which they felt persuaded mast be hidden. When she was arrested, creditors to the amount of 4,0001. sterling came forward, and it is believed that many more, ashamed to acknowledge their credulity, put up with their losses in silence. This extraordinary old lady, who has thus taken rank with the most accomplished mercantile swindlers of London or Paris, could neither read, write, nor speak French. Her replies to the interrogatories of the court were rendered from her Breton dialect by a sworn inter preter. The trial lasted thirteen days. She was sentenced to five years' imprisonment es a swindler. GERMANY. The dispute which has arisen between Austria and Prussia on the subject of the garrison of Radstadt, appears likely to be arranged. A letter from Berlin announces that Austria is disposed to give up her pretensions of furnishing the garrison of that for trues with troops, to the exclusion of Prussia. THE LATE ANDREW SHORTREDE. This gentlemen—late proprietor of the Mims Mail-- Eed at Bad-Brucker:lan, in Bavaria, on the 31st ult., of Morbus Brightii. His remains have been deposited in the burial ground at Zeitloffs ; the chief magistrate of the dish:et, the lord of the manor, all the English and many of the foreign visitors of the watering place attending the ceremony ; and the Rev. J. C. Murray Aynesley reading the English I service in the German language. Mr. Shortrede was an Olive of the Edinburgh Batliuttyner, and for his taste as a typographer allowed by all to ;z i; t thought by seam to surpass, his teachers. established at Edinburgh, novena work, of high ty pographical merit issued from kis press. The after working of the great Constable failure was still felt when he entered upon badness ; and, find laing it &Scutt to make in Soot. nd, he betook himself to dung Kong, shortly after the island had been acquired for the British Crown. The Chase Mail, which he started immediately after his arrival in the colony, is such a specimen of elegant typography and lucid arrangement as had never before been witnessed in the Eastern Hemisphere. Mr. Shortrede's abilities u a printer, and his regularity as a man of business, obtained and retained for him the Government bad ness. But the tone of the Chine Mail was perfectly independent. In some of his views Mr. Shortrede was undoubtedly what is "an original." Many persona who came into contact with him alleged that he was "impracticable." But his inte grity was above suspicion. These lines are written by one who, after an intimate ars quaintasee of more than thirty years, can direly say that he never knew a more honest ftee or a truer friend. A native of Jedburgh— sprung from a family with which Walter Soott had intimate relations—Andrew Shortrede was a staunch Tory of the old Border type. His original princi ples—in so far as home politics are concerned—he retained to the last " the child was father of the man." The men and affairs among whom he was thrown in China he judged with an un biassed mind and with rare shrewdness. His views of the soundest policy for Englishmen in China were at once benevolent, high-minded, and just. Some of his views have been deteloped in the columns of the Daily News, under the signature of "An Outside Barbarian." By his natural abilities ' and acquired skill, and by steady, judicious in dustry, he acquired a competence ; but disease, en gendered by the climate of China, forbade him to enjoy it. He is sincerely mourned by the whole circle of his acquaintance. In his declining health he was affectionately tended by an attached friend— Mr. R. Rieuaecker. THE POLICY OE TILE &41LW418.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. BANZ OF FRANCE. AND ilrnsi PARIS, FRIDAY 3101. tINO. The Moniteur publishes the monthly returns of the Bank of France to yesterday, Sept. 9. We give the most important items, with the corresponding figures of last month is regard : _ - Sept. Aug. Coin and bullion, Paris 287,284,694 .... 284,933,480 Ditto ditto branch banks Bills discountad, Paris 170,692,694 .... 181,801,992 Ditto branch banks Notes in circulation, Paris and branches Treasury depolits Private &poets, Paris 166,668,262 .... 160,279,600 Ditto branch beaks Advanaed on public securities 34,819,700 .... 31,763,300 Ditto by branch bank' Advanced on railway securities 40,890,300 39,823,100 Ditto by branch banks The principal feature in this return is the further increase of no less than 1,280,0001. in the coin and bullion. The aggregate is thus raised to the un precedented sum of 23/ millions sterling. The bills discounted have at the same time decreased nearly one million sterling—a sign that French trade re mains dull. In the note circulation there is a small increase. (rime atm OWN PARIS. THURSDAY EYRNINO. The statement contained is a postscript to a Paris letter in yesterday's Iredlpendarsce , to the effect that M. Deltas, a French consular agent in the Rest, and h;ir wife, hat been cut to pieces by the Mused man populace, and that a young girl had been violated by them, is considered to be a fable. There is no French consular agent named Deletes, end nothing whatever is known of any such story in official quarters. A Paris letter in the Indlpendance of Brussels says:—" Priuce Napoleon has obtained in favour of Algeria the application of a principle which, joined to the limitation of military powers already decreed, will exercise a favourable influentse on the govern ment. All the ports of the coast are to ;be declared entirely free. The Prince-Minister appears not to have succeeded in his liberal and intelligent views without a conflict with the Minister of Finance and the Board of Customs,whose views are protectionist." There is not a word of confirmation dais important statement in any Paris journal. The Bourse was rather heavy to-day at the open ing, but rallied when the news came that the Bank of England had lowered its discount. The Rents rose 15c. for cash, end sc. for account, closing at 72fr. 15c. and 72fr. 45c. Mobilier rose 2fr. 50c. The Lyons Railway rose 10fr. There was very little change in the other lines, but they all left off rather higher. A judicial inquiry into the cause of the railway aocident at St. Germain is going on. It is said that the guards of the train depose that none of the breaks were broken. They pressed them with all the force they could, and cannot tell why they failed to stop the impetus of the train u usual. The en gineer who WWI in waiting for the train saw, from the unusual rapidity with which it deaoended the in cline from St. Germain to the Pecq-bridge, that it was ukely to run into him, end he made prepua tione for moving off, but it WM too late. It is said that the number of deaths up is the present time is not more than roar. A telegram from Cette kites that the Southern railway station. there, in which the engines are kept, was entirely destroyed by fire on Tuesday evening. The low is estimated at 160,000 fr. M. Dapin has made his usual speech at the annual agricultural meeting of Clanwey (Hider.). It con tained nothing startling. The speaker did not allude to his advent to office since his last address to the same rustic audience. The first part of his speech—after a compliment to M. Delengle, a native of the department, whose absence he regretted— consisted of practical remarks upon agriculture. He congratulated his hearers on the marked improve ment in their department, which, twenty years ago, only sent 1,600 oxen annually to Paris, and was now able to furnish 20,000. Ile afterwards gave a sketch of the Cherbourg Ekes from hie own observation. Speaking of the imposing spectacle when the Queen of England was saluted by "a thousand cannon" from the ships and forts, the Procureur-Oeneral of the Court of Cessation says, in a note printed in the Moniteur, " Sir Charles Napier estimates the num ber of cannon in the forts at 2,000: so much the better if they are there!" He makes a back-handed bit at MK. Roebuck and Lindsay, by observing that the attitude of the French sailors manning the yards was devoid of all trick—steady, business-like, and worthy of sailors. The P thinks that France ought to lose no time in laying down an Atlantic telegraph of her own ; but it fears much that, as in the case of the Transatlantic packets, a vote for which was obtained by M. Tbiers eighteen years ago, the thing will be talked of long enough before anything is done. It laments greatly that, owing to the French want of energy, all the American merchandise, which, now that a complete railway net-work exists on the Continent, ought naturally to pare through France, takes the English route, " while we never get , fu-ther than projects and tenders, or projects for tenders, and do nothing practical." The article, which is written in a very desponding mood, goes on as follows : The government appose to be Ia earnest about the Davy ; It has coutpieted Choicely and bu 4 lt many vessel,. It bee pat the French navy on a mod resseetable footing, and it her dose well ; err one out be Mad not to ess that Francs. bang without • rival= the Ccothesist, ha, only bees checked hitherto is the development of her legitimise, allesece by the lealleiseny of her Davy.

We need not stop to Inquire what are the exact figures of the meet recent re tsina, but we know that only a few years ago the trade between France sad the United States we, shared between the two flags In the folks' 'eg proportions:-93 per toot. for the Anacleto flag and 70 per cent. for the French. So beg es nave rennin ti's state France will never be really • mai:time power. She may have ships of the line but she will not have sailors to man them—she may be capable of a brilliant eoup de main, but she will not be in • state to carry on • serious oval war. Now, situated as France is, with I suc h a neighbour se England, and with such a power se the United States in front of her on the other fide of the At lactic, it is assential, if she would weigh with her doe weight in the balsam of the world's power, that she should be strong at ma; and that her strength should not be nervous and in termittent, but intrinsic, durable, founded epee the extent of bee commercial relations, the number of her sailors, and of her merchant ships and mall packets. Now, es to may one of them points, we Mud, as ocropered with Eaglaad, in • audition of manifest and humiliating inferiority. We are not using the right wad—we ere not inferior, we ere nothing. We have not fewer Transatlsntio packets than the Englith— we have none at all. But we shall be toll that we are going to have some, that • lies LI conceded. Very well ; let us wait. After having waited for eighteen years, it would be ungreciom to seem impatient. Only we cannot help fear ing that, as it has been with the pukes, so it will be with the Atlantic telegraph, and that twenty years beam we shall SWITZERLAND. A letter from Borne of the 6th states that the Cantonal Council of State of Ticino, which is the executive authority, has decided that it will not only refuse the placet to the new Lombard bishop for any set of authority in the canton, but will not even grant him permission to make a simple putoral visit within its territory, and will even employ forcible measures to prevent him from doing so. This deci sion bas been approved of by the Federal Council. As far back us the 9th of Jane the Grand C , ancil of the canton recommended the energetic measures that have been taken in order to triumph over the hostility of the Holy See, but, as negotiations were then pending, it was not considered expedient to act on the recommendation.

The City of Washington has arrived, bringing New Yerk dates of August 28 ; 246 passengers, and 100,000 dollars in specie. The steamer Ariel, from Southampton, arrived out at New York on the 26th, and the Alps hence readied there on the 27th. The political news is unimportant. The steamer Moses Taylor had arrived at New York, with California dates to August sth, and nearly a million and a half dollars in gold. Notwithstand ing the great rush of miners to Framer River, the yield of the Californian placers during the present year is in excess of that of the year previous. There was a better demand for goods in the San Francisco markets, but no change of moment as regards prises. The Californians were in the height of an intense excitement, a split having occurred among the democrats. The feud was very warm, and was daily increasing in bitterness. The news from Fraser River is interesting. Ano ther shipment of 50,000 dollars in gold from the new diggings had reached San Francisco. The tide of emigration to the northward had, however, been partially checked by the discouraging reports circulated by the disappointed gold-hunters. During the fortnight preceding the sth instant 12,000 per sons had taken passage for Victoria, while 2,000 had returned from the same point. Oregon was organised u a new State of the con federacy, the news of the failure of Congress to admit her into the Union not having reached that remote region. All the territorial officer, had relin quished their poet, and the State ofthers were in the complete exercise of administrative functions. New demonstrations had been made by the hos tile Indians in Washington territory. It was sup posed, however, that they were concentrating their forces preparatory to a war with the government troops. The United States brig Dolphin captured a 'rani with 318 Africans on board, on the 21st inst., off the coast of Cuba. The prize was ordered to Charles town. The New York Herald says everything promises that the approaching cable celebration will be a grand affair. The committee of the Common Coun cil held a long session yesterday, for the purpose of making further arrangements. The living ex- Presidents are to be invited ; the public and private places of buviness are to be closed; the shipping and public buildings were also requested to be dressed and have flags flying. The first general news de spatch by the Atlantic cable reached New York on the 28th ult. It embraced the late important news from China, and gave great satisfaction. Letters from La Guayra to the 10th August, state that a telegraphic despatch of that morning from Caracas, announced that the French and English Ministers had conceded to the government until the next day at noon for its determination in regard to the Monagas question. Commissioners had been named to go to the United States and invite General Paez to return to the Republic. There is later news from Utah, but it is quite un important. Trade in New York was without improvement, and money continued easy and u abundant as ever, City had been rather more active, but without any material fluctuation in prices. The latest quotations were Illinois Central, 77 ; ditto Bonds, 91; ; Panama shares, 114 ; New York Central, 79! ; Erie, 18 ; ditto Second Mortgage Bonds, 90; Michigan Cen tral, 68; sterling. Exchange was very quiet at pre vious quotations. Ashes were steady ; coffee inac tive, and favouring buyer. Cotton in moderate de mand at firm prices. Flour dull and firm. Wheat in somo speculative demand, but prices generally unchanged. Corn firm, but closed dull. Iron more active for Scotch pig at rather higher rates. Spirits of turpentine had advanced to 49 cents, but closed with a drooping tendeney ; mess pork firm, at an advance of 26 to 33 cents; beef steady; bacon quiet, but steady ; lard in small supply and firmly held ; rice easier ; sugars quiet and steady ; tobacco firmer, with a steady fair demand ; freights extremely dull but without variation in price. The export of breadstuff§ to Europe had entirely ceased. The New Orleans cotton market was inactive. CANADA. LIVERPOOL, THCLIDAT. The steam-ship Nova Bootie& from Quebec on the 28th ult., arrived here this evening, bringing 186 passenger. The - passage of the Nova Scotian had been pro tracted by the dense fogs which she experienced in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Canadian news is of little or no importance. Parliament having adjourned, political excitement had calmed down. The Toronto Globs says the question of the change of offices by Ministers is to be tested before the law courts, and that an action was being prepared, some of them who had resorted to the proceeding with a view of imposing a penalty. Desertion from the army was going on upon a large scale in the lower provinces. The Quebec timber market was steady, but for some descriptions there was a little more inquiry. Standard staves were held more firmly; there had been more doing in deals. Freight quotations were—Liverpool,24s. to26s. 6d.; London, 861. to 875.; and to the Clyde, 22e. 6d.

The Ripon experienced dense fogs followed by strong head winds slung the Penin sular cleat, and north-west winds across the Bay of Meaty. Her Majesty's ship Princess Royal was at Alexan dria ; the Marlborough, Centurion, and Caaqueeor, were off Malta; &Turkish two decker was at Gibraltar, ea route to Ragland, to be converted into • MOW. The Teviot, with the Australian mail was passed off Cadiz, oa the 4th inst., she appeared as if she were going Into that port. The Peninsular packet Alkambra was at Gibraltar. A *teenier bound to the southward was passed on the 6'h. 25 miles south of eve noisier». The Peninsular packet Tagus, outward bound, was passed on the Bth. Among the paesengen by the Ripon was Captain Brown, in charge of despatches from the Commander-in-Chief. Cep tain Brown had posted down from the interior to Bombay, and arrived there just as the mail packet waa leaving. He had been in command of a detachment of the Ni sans's force in pursuit of Nana Sahib. He was 'wend times close on the heads of the arch misoreaat, mad bed even caught sight of him, but the followers of the letter fought desperately, and allowed their chief to escape. The Nana roved about the country with his followers in disguise. At one time he wait deemed as a woman, at another time as a puttee wallah. The last time Nana Sahib was seen was at Shols pm*. Captain Brown was originally In the China expedition, bat he volunteered for the India write, sad went through Central India, chiefly in pursuit of the Nina.

THE POPE'S PILGRIMAGE TO JERUSALEM. ROME, Se m, 4 His Holiness is as singularly quiet this summer In the ample halls of the Vatioan as he wu active and erratic last year through his own dominions and those of his immediate neighbours; but, if rep ort speaks true, the year 1869 is to witness a very much more distant excursion on the part of his Holiness than any he has undertaken since his diplomati c mission as nuncio to the republic of Chili. Sines the recognised supremacy of the see of Rome throughout Christendom, we have no instance of the Supreme Pontiff ever venturing upon a pilgrim age to the Holy Land, and it is indeed difficult to imagine what would be the correct etiquett e to be observed between two personages of such exalted positions and such mixed attributes se th e Pope and the Sultan. It is nevertheless now begi n , ning to be rumoured in several creditable quart er; and I have heard it myself from ecclesiastical sources, that Pio Nono, who has already ventured upon many steps that his more cautious predecessors would never have dreamed of, is determined to add to the memorabilia of his eventful reign a Papal pilgrimage to Palestine, with the hill consent and appro. bation of his Imperial brother (speaking tempo. rally), but implacable enemy and rival (speak• ing spiritually), the Sultan Abdul Medjid, The Sultan has always shown himself personally partial to Pio Nono, and in the beginning of his reign he sent the Pope the somewhat singular pi e . sent, for an ecclesiastic, of a magnificent set of home trappings, richly set with rosettes of superb die,. monde. These were exhibited to the Romans in the Quirinal palace in the days of Pio Nono's popularity, but the jewels have long since disappeared, sway lowed up by the exigencies of the troublous times which followed. The satisfaction the Pope derived from his visit to the sanctuary of Loreto is stated to have given him the wish to visit a still more holy spot; and although his health is not so robust as to suggest the advisability of a journey in the East, it is considered quite equal to the one alluded to, now that the steamers have rendered it an every-day trip. The convents at Alexandria, Beyrout, and Ja fa, would consider it an imperishable honour to receive his Holiness within their wall', and a few hours' land journey from the last-mentioned place would bring the eortige of pilgrims to Jerusalem, where the catholic Patriarch would, no doubt, make due preparations for receiving the common Father of the Christian faithful. I have not yet discovered the origin of this report, nor shall I put faith in it until I actually see it verified. During his visit to Ancona, last year, the Pope saw and approved of a very fins new three-mast merchant vessel, named the Adria Doric*, the largest ship yet built in the Pontifical dominions. This vessel unfortunately sprung a leak and foundered at sea, near Gibraltar, on its first trip, on the 2od of July last. The officers and crew were saved by the Norwegian brig Hilda, I and brought to Civita Vecchia, whence they came on to Rome, 47 in number, and bad an audience of the Pope, who generously provided for their tra velling expenses back to Ancona, and gave them sufficient money to restore the loss of their personal effects. His Holiness • likewise presented a large gold medal to the Norwegian Captain Svencleen, and 160 scudi (321.) to his crew of six men. Not entirely discouraged by such a ter rible disaster as the loss of their vessel and cargo, the Ancona proprietors have put forth proposals for the construction of a similar ship, to be named likewise the Adria Dories, the expense cal culated at 90,000 scudi, to be defrayed by the sale of shares at 100 scudi each. His Holiness has set an encouraging example by heading the list of share holders, and the necessary capital appears likely to be forthcoming without much difficulty. In Rome money is very abundant, judging by the high prices of all lands of public securities and joint stock. Exchange on London, 472 g. Roman Consols, 94. NAVAL AND HALM ARY.

The whole of the reinforce ments intended for India have now embarked, with the ex oeption of the two regiment, of infantry under orders to =- back on the 18th inst., and the authorities at the Horse- Guards have decided on not forwarding any more Queen's troops to India for some time to come, unless anything =- foreseen should arise to compel their doing No. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 9.

SIR THOMAS GIANT, K.C.8.--The Garotte al Tuesday might contains an announcement, tint the Queen hes been pleased to appoint Thomas T. Grant, Eeq., the late cove of the viotualling department of the f ai to be a K.C. B. l rhere are few mon who have more won this distinction. Mr. Grant gassed between 40 end years in the public service. Thirt years ago he invested his biscuit machinery, which has o for him a lerr reputation, and which during the lets war was found to be of such inestimable use In supplying the enormous require ments of our fiesta, and of the army in the Crimea, white latter service was, we believe we an correct in stating, tan gashed with upwards of 10,000 tons of biscuit ; and more rr mutts, by his ingenuity, he devised the plan now unirenally adopted in the royal navy, and which is extenrively used to the merchant service, of converting salt water Into fresh, by which he has conferred upon the marine of this country me of the greatest boons it ever received. A ship fitted with this apparatus is now able, not only to make a voyage, without reference to the quantity of water the can stow, but the health of the melt Mu been immeasurably improved, by their being at all times able to obtain an unlimited supply alibi purl element.
