Her Majesty has been enabled to undertake the journey to Miramar, accompanied by the Count of Flanders." PRUSSIA. BH.E3LAIT, Oar. fil, On Sunday last 1,550 former members of the Hungarian legion in the Prussian service were con veyed in two special trains to Oderberg, where they were dismissed by the Prussian government commissioner. The detachment numbering 700, who arrived by the second train, learnt at Oderberg that the first detachment on arrival at Landenburg had been arrested and removed under custody by the Aus trian authorities. The second detachment, there fore, on leaving the Oderberg Railway began their march to Hungary by the Jablunka Pass. A small number of them, however, returned to Prussia. SWJ BEZNE, Ocr. 9. The Hon.

THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES PREVENTION ACT, 1866.—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and the Secretary of State for War have appointed Dr. Peter Leonard to be inspector of certified hospital' under the above-mentioned act. Notice is also given, that William H.

THE DISTRACTED ALMANACH DE GOTHA.—There is consternation in the editorial room at Gotha. The Almanach for 1867 was almost ready to be launched forth into the world, when, lo ! like the simoom, Prussia sweeps over the north of Germany, and kings and princes are car ried away by the blast like so many reeds ; even the stal wart tree of Austria has lost many of its branches, blown away by the storm, though the stem still steeds firm on its deep-set roots. The hurricane has lulled ; the treaty of Prague calms for a time the troubled elements; diplomacy has done its work ! But it is a much easier task to sign a treaty and exchange ratifications than to re-write a tom pendlum like the Almanach de Gotha. . . The whole German Confederation is extinguished, and Frankfort, the seat of the Diet, annexed ; consequently the 32 states, in cluding the Hanse Towns, must be struck out of the Almanach, and the North German Confederation above the Maine inserted instead. As regards the embryo Confederation of the Southern States, all is chaos. Then Austria has lost Venetia, Denmark has lost the Duchies, and, worst of all, no one knows whether the few remain ing ninepins will not be bowled down by the strong arm of a Bismark or of a Napoleon ! . . . . It is easier to shoot a lion with a single bullet than to extirminate • nest of wasps. Saxony is not yet annexed, and may remain intact in the Almanach of 1867 ; but Hanover, Nassau, Hesse Cassel, Darmstadt, and others, must all have • pen struck through them, and be added to Prowls. Prussia is like the devil-fish described by Victor Huge in his " Travailleur de la Mer." It holds m ib strangling grip all the petty princes of Germany. We are in Octobee; ' the continental arrangements are by no means settled, and the Alumna& must appear on the first of January ! We have good reason for saying again that conzternan pre , rails in the editor's room at Gotha.—Dickens's AU th• Year .Rostad. AN: A MODERN LIBERAL STATESMAN. --„,. The following political character of Lord Mel bourne is published in the " Life of Archbiahop Whabeley" by his daughter. It appears to have teen found in the Archbishop's private note-book : After all, Lord Melbourne's plan was to let everything alone, good or bad, till forced to make a change. He was the highest conservative I ever knew. For he was not like many so-called, who have really' persuaded themselves that such and such alleged abuses are really good ; he saw in many cases, and has often pointed out to me, the evils of such and such institutions ; adding, however, that he was very sorry they should ever have been meddled with : " I say, Archbishop, all this reforming gives a deuced deal of trouble, eh ?eh ? I wish they'd let it all alone." Any change, in whatever department, was to him so much greater an evil than the continuance of any abuse that he i would always avoid it if he could. But then he had , t which most conservatives have not, shrewdness enough to I perceive when it was unavoidable, and then be always wel -1 corned it with so muck gladness that many people were alarmed with a dread of his going too far ; and thus he ! coffered the most effectual check to innovations. For John I Bull becomes furious at a very obstinate opposition to some change, which be conceives called for ; but if tt is readily i graated,the innate conservatlna of the nation is called forth I very strongly. He is hie a restive hens, which, if you turn his head away from the ditch heis baeking towards, sad whip and spur him from it, will back the more violently ; but if you turn him towards it, and seem rather to rep him that way, will shrink from it. Lord Melbourne took 1 the latter mode. Yet though he thought with the tories and acted with the whip, I always vindicated him health' Amp of inconsistency. A man is not a traitor for surrendering • 1 town to the enemy when untenable, instead of waiting to have it stormed sad sacked ; though in so doing he is act ing with those who wish the enemy to have pomenion of it, while his feelings and wishes are with those who are for holding out and dying in the breach. He differed from the whip in deprecating all changes, good or bad ; he differed from the (other) tories in conceding readily what he saw to be inevitable. Yet this man will probably go down to posterity as a scalene reformer I A monument to Sir Robert Peel and the Duke, aa the authors of catholic emancipation and free trade and the Maynooth grant, and to Lord Melbourne as the friend to parliamentary reform, tithe reform, the Irish Temporalities Act, and the obeli. tion of slavery, these should certainly 'tend side by side, and • most laughable pair they weld be. " I say, Arch bishop, what do you think I'd have done about this slavery business, if I'd had my own way? I'd have done nothing M all ! I'd have left it all alone. It's all a pack of non ce-nee! Always have been slaves in all the most civilised countries ; the Greeks and Romans had slaves; however, they would have their fancy, and so we've abolished slavery ; but it's great folly, Ice." And this was the gene ral tone of his conversation, and • specimen of his political views. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1866. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (now ors ows CORESSPONDINT.) PARIS, TUDADAY EVITING. The Emperor of Mexico has gone to the expense of sending a despatch by cable to contradict the news prevailing in Europe that things are going wrong with him. The Mexican legation in Paris communicates the following to the journals : VALENTIA, 9 OaT.. 19. 45M., MORNING. TO OINTJIAL Cbspoltapec; (11exite), Sept. 27. You will communicate to on; legations the excellent spirit which prevails moons all classes. The ministry i. definitively constituted. The best understanding exists with our allies. The Apiseco Railway is opened. All this is little likely to change the universal belief that, in Yankee idiom, "Maximilian has got to hook it." The Moniteur dr Boir mentions in its leading columns, as " a rumour reported by several journals,"that Lord Cowley will continue to be the English ambassador in Paris until after the Exhi bition of 1867. The Opinion Nationale calls the attention of the Pesach government to a ViObitioll Of the coaventien of September 15 committed by Colonel d'Argy, commanding that amphibious force called the " Roman Legion," in hoisting the French flag. Nothing is dearer than that this legion, though raised by the French Emperor, and patronised by him personally, la in the service of the Pope alone. It receives the Pope's pay (supposing it can get it), is under the Pope's orders, and should bear the Pope's colours. France, as a nation, has no re sponsibility for this legion. Several members of the Academy of Sciences were seen on the Pont des Arta at about half-past 4 yesterday looking out for the eclipse of the sun. The weather was most favourable for the observa tion, there being the first cloudless sky that we have had in Paris for several months. The obscuration of the sun's disc here visible was so slight that the general public were not aware of the phenomenon. Here and there a few groups, warned by newspaper paragraphs, might be seen looking through their smoked bits of glass. The Bourse was a little weaker to-day. Rents fell be. both for cash and amount. There was scarcely any change in either Mobilier or Italian. ITALY. (nom ow' arzmu. owl VENICE, OCT. 3. However much the Austrian police in Venice may have annoyed peaceable citizens and bungled at thief-catching, its members may claim credit for their spruce, well-kept appearance during the last days of their power. His Imperial Majesty's servants are not demoralised by the new prospects which open out before them. They still believe in the efficacy of strolling up and down with fixed bayonets on their old familiar beats, whither male factors might come to give tkemselves into custody if so disposed. The police is on duty, and is assisted at night by the National Guard, which has really caught a thief by the simple process of running attar him. Between these two forces, Venice is tolerably secure ; and when the police shall cease to exist, the guard will be allowed to carry arms. Already have new grey uniforms been temptingly displayed in the shop fronts of Venetian tailors, and at least threescore bayonet-sheaths were on sale at a trunk maker's which I passed yesterday even ing. The guard requires only to be armed to make it thoroughly respected, and you will perceive that, in presence of so many zealous amateurs, the pro fessional incompetents who are passing away must have some strength of character not to become demoralised. It was no laughing matter, that want of thief catching faculty, for those whose houses were robbed whilst " order reigned in Venice." I have heard more than one circumstantial narrative of a ruinous clearance effected in the day time, of the owner returning home to find several of his rooms unfurnished, and of his failure to obtain any clue to his missing property. Perhaps there may be greater difficulty of curing the thieves of their old tricks than Venetians are willing to admit, but the cry for Italian carbiniers is loud and positive. " Let our government be established," say the people, " and our carbiniers (gendarmerie) take charge of Venice, and matters will quickly change." Apart from national enthusiasm and dislike of foreign rule, there is a strong feeling among the citizens that they shall be better protected, have better chances of pushing their way in business, and leave a pleasanter city to their children, by reason of belonging to united Italy, than would be possible under Francis Joseph's sceptre. United Italy will make Venice her principal port. Once more the harbour will be crowded with shipping, as in times long passed. Instead of only a stray steamboat to some northern country—to London or Amsterdam—and a branch of the Austrian Lloyd's service to Trieste, Venice will have lines of splendid vessels to Constantinople and the Suez Canal. When the tunnel under Mont Cenis is completed, Venice will be the beat point of de parture for the India and China maiL She will offer a career of boundless prosperity to her citi zens, and will send forth the tricolour to wave as proudly over the Adriatic as did the banner of the winged lion. Talk of Lissa and of the " Austrian lake," which is thought by some to have been con quered in that memorable fight, Venetians will smile, and bid you wait twenty years ere you make up your mind about the "lake." They are not sanguine of immediate naval victories, but they have faith in Italy. Give them the voting papers for the plebiscite, and see what they will do. " Vote for Victor Emmanuel," you suggest. Yes, that they will. Are they not. his loyal subjects even while I write, if any king in the world have such ? The very Germans resident in Venice as tradesmen are painting their premises, buying fresh stock, and otherwise pre paring for the change which is at hand. I have seen round the neck of a youthful Teuton a ribbon of red, white, and green. His father said nothing of politics, but declared his belief that next winter would be the best season they had ever had. Apart from national enthusiasm, the Venetian people would vote for Italy. But as it is they are enthusiastic admirers of Garibaldi, and warm par tisans of their country on every occasion in which she is concerned. How to-morrow will be passed by soldiers and citizens no one can tell. It is hoped that rioting may be avoided by the strict dis cipline and prudence of the military. That is all that can be said. To-morrow is his Imperial Majesty's birthday, and the slightest attempt to enforce public rejoicing will lead to an outbeeek. Victor Emmanuel is the popular favourite, the Bing for whom a feast is prepared. No one wishes to be troubled about the old master, and were not General Alemann a commander of tact and firmness there would be serious danger of dis turbance. With any amount of tact the Austrians are in a false position, and this postponement of their departure from week to week sorely tries the patience of the citizens. CABS. A despatch from Montreal, dated Sept. 24, says : The Court of Queen's Bench was opened to-day byJudge Drummond. In his charge he said he must call attention to a startling violation of law which had been committed by parties some of whom were themselves connected with the administration of justice. He referred to the extradition 1 of Lamirande ; certain steps connected with whose taking away he characterised as a crime, involving • flagrant con tempt of the judiciary and a direct violation of the right of habeas corpus, which would demand the most searching in ton by the grand jury. It was not a question of the tor of the innocence of lamirande, but as to w *under the treaty, be could be legally gives 16. He leoked upon the proceedings as an insult offered to the Queen in the person of the Governer rill. Judge Drummond ordered two copies of the Mcirercal Gazette to be filed, containing letters written I s ea of the court. His honour celled epos Mr. i sayerhiffeerie was met the au th or .of . the two I I letters Gmette d the dates 28th sod 30th August, I and • J . N. Ramsay. Mr. Rarnsay declined to an swer question. He was asked a question, he mid, the object if which he did not understand, and until he was informed what the object was he must decline to answer. His honour Davis( wend times requested as answer, yea or no, and Ramsay 011 decliniag, the clerk of the crown was ordered to make an entry of his answer. His honour then stated, as far as the deputy sheriffs and the deputy clerk of the crown, Schiller, were concerned in the taking away of Lamirande, be quite exonerated them from blame. His hoaxer directed that a subpoena be Wined to Low and Chamberlain, to appear to-morrow. Another despatch from Montreal says, under date of Sept. 25 : The propr r etorm of the Gazette failed to appear before Judge Drummond to-day. He said as the gentleman had refused to answer the question put to him , he would order a rule to issue against Mr. Bormay, to show came why a writ of attachment should not be lamed against him. The Montreal Witness gives the subjoined sc count of the steps taken in London in order to ob tain the restoration of Lamirande to liberty : The following letter has been received by the legal ad visers of Lamirande in this country from their agents in London. A petition to her Majesty has been prepared, and will be forwarded, pqrranying for her intervention, to obtain the restoration of • to the jurisdiction of our courts. " London, Sept. 7. Mr. J. Dontre, Q.C., Advocate, MontreaL —Dear Bir,—Your telegram, dated Montreal, 30th silt., reached us on the morning of the Ist lust, and we immediately placed ourselves in communication with Lord Oarnarvon, who happened to be in Hampshire. On the 2nd one of our partners went down to his lordship, who stated he was not acquainted witbany of the parties named, but had received a telegram from Lord Monet, saying that Lamirande would arrive in England, but not saying who he was or how coming. His lordship, therefore, did not see how he was to interfere. By notes and telegram we instructed our agents at Londonderry, who, in consequence of the Damascus staying so short a time., ware only able to ascer tain that the parties were on board and had pro ceeded to Liverpool, and to so inform us. This in formation reached use on the 4th, the Damascus having touched at Londonderry at eight p.m. on the 3rd. Our information was so meagre that it was impossible to make an affidavit strong enough to apply, with the slightest chance of success, to a judge for habeas corpus; and it being the vacation here, to get bold of a judge at all would be a work of some difficulty. We therefore by telegraph instructed our agents at Liverpool to go on board the steamer immediately on her arrival, see the prisoner, and ascertain the facts, and send us up affidavit by that night's post, so as to enable us to get habeas corpus and in t=t the parties in London. Our agents were not al -1 that night to have an interview with the prisoner. They however managed to keep him in Liverpool, and in the morning made an application toile rtipen id y magistrate for an order to have him brought before him. This the ma gistrate refused to grant, and declined in any way to interfere. Our agents then applied to the French consul, but found him antagonistic to the prisoner. The police were applied to, but with equally success, the keeper of the prison where he was booking him as ' in transit.' This information reached us by telegraph about 3.30 on the sth, and with it a description of the prisoner, and an intimation that the whole party, supplemented by the presence of a Liverpool detective, would reach London about 9, en route for France. A n affidavit of facts was also sent by post, to be ready in the morning. The judge not being in town, the only chance was, by some means, to keep Lamirande in London until we could make our application. To do this we applied at Scotland yard, to Sir Richard Mayne , who conrulted Mr. Waddington, the Under Secretary o f State • but after some consideration they decided they could not interfere. We met the prisoner at the station, in charge of Malin, Sipling, and Carlisle (a Liverpool detective), the latter having a regular transit card from the bead Liver pool office, and he stated his instructions were from the superintendent, who was acting in concert with the French consul, to see the prisoner throutih England, and leave him at Dover in the Banda of the I. tench officer, and this he meant to do. Resistance to Carlisle was useless, as the police would be on his side, and would help him as a supe nor officer. Lamirande seemed exhausted and in a sort of stupor, and unable to attempt an escape, and we were therefore obliged to let him go. The result was that the whole party left London by a very early train for Paris. We are sorry that we could not carry out your instructions, but everything we could possibly do we did. We found our detectives in London were pretty well up in the story of his capture in Canada, and were expecting every day to have the job of ' running him through. E.cal• C •!• tl I"''. [STAMPED, id.

In Liverpool the fatal cases of cholera, which in the three previous weeks had been 182, 159, and 116, further declined to 99 in the week ending last Saturday. In Dub lin also a decrease appears to have commenced, as the deaths referred to cholera fell from 96 in the previous week to 81 last week ; the disease, however, is spreading towards the southern suburbs. In Manchester and Salford only 4 deaths from cholera were reported last week. THE QUEEN'S DEPARTURE FROM DUNKELD.—The ' Dundee Advertisrr gives an account of the departure of the Queen from Dunkekl on Saturday. Previous to her de parture, at half-past 10 in the morning, the gates of the grounds were thrown open, and the public freely admitted. A crowd of several hundreds of respectably-dressed people accordingly lined the avenue to catch a glimpse of the Queen. Before the carriage drove off, her Majesty called Mr. Carrington, the factor, to her, and expressed to him her gratification at the fountain, which she had seen the previous evening, and with the design and workmanship, with which she expressed herself highly rim:ed. There was a rumour that her Majesty was to have planted a tree, as she did on a former occasion in remembrance of her visit ; but she did not do so. A fee , minutes before I COMPLIMENT TO MR. R.

Colonel Lindsey occupied the chair. He gave a history of the society, which had its origin in Manchester, where a com mittee was first formed with a view to do away with the evils of the pew system. That committee ultimately became so numerous sad influential that the present association was formed out of it in 1867. By means of tracts and publications the society had laboured, until now its results bad assumed a formidable shape. The Rev. Dr. Frazer then moved • resolution, setting forth the evils o2e; the pew system and guaranteeing that all the steps which could be taken should, that churches might be made free and unappropriated. The pew system, the reverend gentleman went on to show, kept people away from church. The resolution was seconded by the Rev. 0. F. Lowder (of St. George's-In-thellast, London). The Rev. G. Brevrin (Vicar of Wortley) then moved a resolution recommending the holding of public meetings and delivering lectures on the subject. This was seconded by the Rev. W.

Dawson (of Dublin) then moved • resolution to the effect that one or more orga nising secretaries be appointed to set forth the claims of the society. The Rev. H. V. Palmer (of York) seconded the resolution. The Rev. W. Barclay then moved that local associations be formed in union with the National Association, which the Rev. John Edilowee (of Bradford) sesoaded. All the resolutions were carried, and the pro ceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The proceedings of Congress. yesterday commenced with • sermon in the cathedral in the morning, delivered by the Archbishop of Canterbury, when the venerable pile was crammed with a congregat'on mainly of the clerical order. In the afternoon the Archbishop of York delivered his inaugural address in the temporary erection which has been put up for the occasion, and which was filled by an audience of between two and three thou send persons. Following the address, papers were set down to be read on the obligations and due observance of the Lord's Day, by the Lord Bishop of Ripon and the Rev. T. Eepin ; upon which subject the Right Hon.

The United. States consul at Liverpool had her fitted up and despatched to New York, but she was driven back disabled to the Mersey by a succession of dreadful gales. After lying for many months in the Liverpool docks, she came under the notice of Messrs. Smith and Fleming, of London, who were on the look out for a vessel for his Highness the Sultan of Zanzibar. This monarch now owns the famous cruiser, the purchase having this week been final l y effected by Messrs. Stoddart Brothers, of Liverpool. ! SHOCKING OCCURBINCR AT PAIIKOATIL —At Park gate on Saturday night a few persons, chiefly the coast were startled by hearing, soon after 7 o'clock, cries for help proceeding from the dark end black sands, the tide then coming in with a steady rear. It seemed that sealing man named Pearce. about 22 years of age, had started from Connah's Quay on a walk acmes the sands with the inten tion of visiting his home at Pulsate, the tide being out at the time. He had proceeded on his journey to within a very short distance of l'arkgate, when he found the incoming tide had treacherously cut off all chance of his reaching the place by his own exertions. Darkness had eat in, sad the noise of the in-coming tide warned him that he m p u n t e 2 for help. The coestguard heard most pitiable cries ing from the shore, and having shouted that help was near, made all haste to reissue the poor fellow ; but the deep gel. lies prevented all attempts to reach the then dying man. Gradually his cries from loud and agonising supplication fee assistance diedaway to a faint end earnest appeal to ham, " Lord have mercy on my soul," then all was stilL On tbi , following morning the body was found close to land, divested of boots and jacket. which he had taken off no doubt to aid his pewees. The body was removed to hie father's, there to await an inquest.
