PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. THE CONFERENCE. In the Corps Legialatif yesterday M. Rouher MUNICH, Nov. 28. astonished the house by affirming, in answer to The South German Press of to-day publishes in- demands of several deputies for a supplement to telligence from Paris relative to the programme of the Yellow-book, that since the last session there the proposed conference. It states that it will had been no official despatches whatever between take the form of a series of demands on the part of either France and Italy, France and Rome, or Italy, approved by France, to the effect that the France and Germany. The deputies, who naturally Pope shall retain the sovereignty of the States of complain that they see only French despatches, and the Church, and that the Romans shall receive not the answers to them, are told that the answers Italian rights of citizenship and send deputies to only came verbally o and by way of conversation the parliament at Florence. with the French resident ministers, and therefore ought not, according to diplomatic usage, to be made public. It may be that this is consonant with the usage of some governments, but the re sult is that the country is kept in the dark, which ought not to be. The Civil Tribunal of the Seine, presided by M. Benoit Champy, heard yesterday the arguments in an action brought by M. Raoul Du Bisson (better known as Count Du Bisson, Chevalier Du Bisson, or General Count Du Bisson) again* the sporting joneal the Derby and the hent• Cons journal the Figaro. The declaration states that the defendants falsely and maliciously published in their journals articles denying the truth of his narrative of his adventures in Abyssinia ; that the said articles were calculated to injure his interests in the East, more especially as he has an action pending against the Viceroy of Egypt growing out of his expedition to Abyssinia, and moreover of a na ture to injure his reputation as an honest man, and to hurt his credit whenever he may undertake any new enterprise. Wherefore he lays his damages at 20,000 fr. The imperial advocate Chevrier gave it as his opinion that the court would find it very difficult to say that M. Du Bison's acts in those distant countries had been improperly described. There had already been a sort of international inquiry, which had left the French government itself very much in the dark ; and he did not see that there was sufficient evidence to enlighten the court. This much, however, he felt bound to say, that M. Du Bisson had not deserted his companions, and left them without resource. On that point the journals ought to have been more careful, and he thought that on principle there ought to be a verdict with some damages. Judg ment will be delivered on Wednesday next. The Bourse was extremely buoyant. Rents rose 20c. for cash and 15c. for account, closing at 69fr. 20c. and 69fr. 10c. Italian rose 25c., and Credit Foncier, Mr. BERLIN, Nov. 28. The New Prigs:ion, (Cross) G :ctte of this even ing says :—" With the exception of Austria none of the great powers have given in their adhesion to the conference. England and Russia maintain their previous attitude. Prussia reserves her , decision, awaiting a reply to the questions which' she addressed to the French government on the reception of the invitation to the conference. Other governments have given either evasive replies or none at all." • • FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 28, Evaanco._ The Imperial Court of Justice has confirmed the sentence passed on the newspaper L'Epoque, for propagating false intelligence. The Epoque an nounces that it will appeal to the Court of Came tion. There is a report current that M. Hausmann, Prefect of the Seine, has resigned. The Journal de Paris believes that the army commission has pronounced itself against nine years term of service. The commission wishes the maximum to be eight years. In the Legislative Body to-day a decree was read appointing the Marquis de Moustier to repre sent the government in the discussion on the affairs of Germany and on the second expedition to Rome. In the Corps Legislatif to-day M. des Rotours brought forward the motion on the extra tax im posed upon grain imported in foreign bottoms. After a declaration of M. do Forcade de la Ro quette, Minister of Agriculture, to the effect that the Government would abstain from any inter ference, direct or indirect, with the traffic in grain, the Chamber passed to the order of the day. The interpellations on political subjects will be dis cussed on Monday. THE FRENCH OCCUPATION OF ROME. CIVITA VECCHIA, Nov. 2S. Eight transports arrived here today, and com menced embarking the Ist division of the expe ditionary corps. ITALY. FLORENCE, Nov. 28, Evzonwo. A large suppressed Carthusian monastery near this city was searched to-day by the police. A very large sum of money was discovered, as also im portant documents, including orders from Rome for the monks to continue organised as a secret society dependent upon the Grande Chartreuse of Grenoble. The search continues. The police seized to-day an incendiary proclama tion of Mazzini to the army. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 2S, Entsurc. Orders have been sent to the Prussian corvettes Hertha and Medusa, now stationed in the Medi terranean, to proceed to Smyrna, in order to take part in the ceremonies which will be held at the lay ing of the foun.lation stone of a church of the Ger man Evangelical community in that town. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Nov. 23, EVENING. In the Chamber of Representatives to-day M. Rogier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply to a question put by M. Coomans, said that the Belgian government had not yet come to a decision relative to the conference on the Roman question. In reply to another question put by M. Coomans, the Minister said that he was not opposed to a renewal of diplomatic relation, with Juarez. SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 28. A royal decree has been published to-day lower ing the interest to be paid by the Government Deposit Bank, the highest rate being fixed at 6 per cent., and the lowest at 1 per cent. A rumour is current that a fresh reduction will be made in the budget of the Ministry of War. THE BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 28. The return of the Bank of France for the week ending to-day shows the following changes as com pared with the previous account : IttcasAss. Current accounts. . . . fr. 23,400,000 Cash Bills discounted . 11,500,000 Treasury balance . . 1,200,000 Advances Notes . . fr. 700,000 800,000 PANIC ON ins BRUNELB BOURSZ.—On Monday last there was a panic on the evening Bourse at Brussels, caused by the receipt of a telegram, marked " urgent," thus worded :—" Paris, 7.35 p.m. Attempted assassina tion of the Emperor. Mortally wounded. Rent* 54.20. Italian Bente 32. Signed, Stephens." This alarming news soon spread, and so great was the consternation it caused that everyone began to sell, including the person to whom the despatch was addressed. After awhile inquiries were, however, made, and it was then discovered that no such despatch had passed over the wires —that, in fact, the story was an impudent fabrication. The commis sionaire who bad brought the message to the person to whom it was addressed was found, but all the informa tion he could give was that it was handed to him for de• livery by a gentleman who came out of the telegraph office. The gentleman has not been beard of since. THE EXZCOTION OF THE FENIANS.—We read in the Damte of yesterday :—" A London letter in the Temps blames, with singular violence of language, the execution of the three Fenian condemned for their participation in the aaseeeination of a policeman. It is difficult for us, however, to see a political crime in the sanguinary drama which has just had this terrible ending. If the mother and widow of Larkin weeping with their son con demned to death form a touching picture, it should not be forgotten that Brett as well as hiv assassins may have relatives and children upon whom his death has inflicted a cruel blow. But the assassin died in expiation of a crime he need not have committed, while his victim was struck down in the fulfilment of duty. These are considerations it is well not to lose sight of." BOMBAY MAIL.—ALZIANDRTA, Nov. 27.—The Poonah left at 11 a.m., and the Syria at 5 p.m. to-day. The former may be expected at Marseilles ea the 3rd, and the latter at Southampton about the 10th of December. GARIBALDI'S ILLNESS. The Florence correspondent of the Liberte, writ ing on the 25th, says :—" News from Varignano is scarce. It appears that Garibaldi's state is very serious, and that his doctors have to struggle against a general depression of the system, a moral prostration which has engendered a physical pros tration, always difficult to contend with in persons of sixty. Rheumatic complications, and even phthisis, are also spoken of, and I am inclined to think there is some truth in these assertions. When I saw Garibaldi about a month ago, I was much struck by his flushed and projecting cheek bones and the brightness of his eyes. The general is aware of the gravity of his state, for he has sent for his sons, who left on Saturday night with Pro fessors Ghinozzi and Zanette. A despatch, dated this morning, represents Garibaldi's state as still very serious. The improvement announced in a despatch dated yesterday, from Major Canzio, has not been maintained." THE COPYRIGHT QUESTION IN AMZRICA.—The English papers are taking up the question of international copyright, and quoting the article on that subject in a re cent number of The Atlantic Monthly, with warm appro bation. Public opinion on both sides of the ocean is getting to be so strong in favour of this simple act of justice, that we are not without hope that the same princi ples of honesty which regulate international commerce in beef and dry goods may soon prevail in the market for literary wares.-IYese York Tribune, Nov. 15. Tux BazAD QUESTION.—The instructions simul taneously issued by the chief constables of Hampshire, ISurrey, and Berke respecting the o ff ence of selling bread otherwise than by weight are still vigoroutiy acted upon by the police, and the result has been the conviction of • large number of bakers and sellers of bread within the Rhos e counties, notwithstanding the " caution " eocumicu ously posted in numerous places previous to the adoption of actual measures. A ease of considerable importance was disposed of at the Chertsey petty bastions on Wednes day, when 13 bakers of that division were charged by j Superintendent Murton with the offence referred to under the 6th and 7th William IV., cap. 37, sec. 4. The usual course of purchase bye police-constable in plain clothes was resorted to, and it was found that in addition tithe infringe ment of the statute by the omission to weigh the bread there wasin each case a deficiency of weight, amounting in one or two instances to 31oza. on the half-quarters loaf. Mr. E. T. Smith, barrister, appeared for one of the defendants, named Samuel White, of Vteybridge, arid strongly eon. tended that no necessity existed for the weighing of bread in the scale at the time of purchase, which would fre quently occasion much inconvenience to the seller, and that the fact of its having been weighed at some time or other previous to being sold was sufficient, whether this was done in presence of the purchaser or not. The loaf in question had been weighed by the defendant or his man I immediately after being taken from the oven, which, it was argued, was • compliance with the act, and rendered • second weighing unnecusary ; end the defendant's assistant was called, but he was unable to prove that the loaf in question had been actually weighed, although it was the practice of his employer to weigh the bread in the bakehouse on being taken from the oven. The chairman, Mr. Bulpett, said the magistrates entertained no doubt as to the question of law or fact, and they accordingly convicted the defendant in the penalty of lea. and 17a. costs. A aimihar fine was imposed in 11 of the remaining cases. On Tuesday the magistrates sitting at Wokingham, Berke, were occupied a considerable time in disposing of • lar ge number of similar oases, in one of which the defendant, a Mr. Lovegrove, defended himself 1" on public grounds." The magistrates reminded him that It was useless for him to call the act of parliament " iniquitous" and " abominable," since they at to enforce the law and not to bear it abusti. Fines were inflicted in the seve ral cases, which with costs amounted to about 225. each. OXFORD, TEE POTBOY. —After 27 years of con finement in a criminal lunatic asylum, during which his conduct has been exemplary, and no traces have appeared of mental aberration, Oxford, the potboy, who shot at her Majesty in St. James's-park, brut been liberated. During this time many appeals have been made in his behalf by influential persons who have had the opportunity of watching his demeanour and gauging his character. His own story has always been, and was consistently from the first, that the pistol which he fired was not loaded. It will be remembered that no bullet was ever found. He attributes the criminal act which he has ex lfated by long immurement, and which, under a ess 'merciful government, must have cost him his life, to inordinate vanity, fostered by • variety of trivial cir cumstances in his domestic life and training on which we need not dwell, and which led to a senseless desire to attain notoriety by some means, and this foolish and criminal impulse led to his lamentable crime. He has occupied his time in a certain amount of self-education, of which the means have been granted to him at Broadmoor and in the asylum in which be was formerly con fi ned, and has become a tolerable linguist. He has also taught him self. and practised " paining," which he does sufficiently well to earn a living. He has been mercifully released, but has been very properly prohibited from remaining in or visiting England. Whether directly insane at the time of his offence, or led by a miserable love of notoriety, it is very right that the person of the sovereign should be pro tooted from the vanity of a man who, at however distant • period, could commit the cowardly outrage of which he was the perpetrator.—Beitisk Medical Journal. eintbenfttg !ntettegence.

The sport brought to Issue on the concluding day presented a great falling off u compaxed with the two previous days, the Sells being of limited dimensierm and the racing of only • second-rate description. There was likewise a great diminution in the oampany, but the weather was favourable to the sport, which commenced at half-put twelve, with the Selling Handicap Hurdle Race, which was notable only tor the blow which backers received in the defeat of • warm favourite by Oldminater, wbo bad performed so badly the two previous days. Again were the backers disappointed In the next rate, fi r Foxholes, the favourite in the Handicap Hurdle Race, sustained an cam defeat by Lady Lincoln, who ran third Ina coated the previous day. The race of the day was the Croydon Cup, for which there were eve runners. Renard was • great favourite, as Mr. Tboiraa, in the dunce of Mr. irdwards, rode for Lord Pooled. The result was in favour of Flyfisher, but the rider of the favourite lodged an objection against the Welsh horse for having eroded him when not two length' clear in ad vance. The Stewards heard a great deal of evidence in the weighing-room, bat did not give a diction, appointing Monday for the further bearing of the case. The objection will be enter tained at TettersalFs, at 4 o'clock. In the last race Pope, the rider of Laura (Mr. Powell's), was nearly mobbed, many people thinking that be had " pulled" the horse. He had to beguiled into the weighing-room, and left the course surrounded by his friends : BELLING HANDICAP HURDLZ HAM Of 3 OOPa each, with 39 added ; the whiner to be soldfor 40 eon.

THE RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAW:S.—The /cullers' match between Harty Kelley and Joseph Sadler for the championship of the Thames and 6001., which the referee ordered to be rowed again yester day, came off shortly after three o'clock, about the same number of steamboats accompanying the race, Citizen L again carrying the officials, who were the same as in the first rata The betting was 7t04 on Kelley. At :L5 the men came to the post to start, and, doffing their guernseys, looked the picture of health. A wearisome delay took place now. Kelley beckoned to Sadler to keep wider, as he had not sufficient sculling room, but all to no purpose for Sadler would not start on fair terms, and after being stripped for thirty-five minutes Kelley rowed to the umpire's boat and complained (Sadler meanwhile putting on his guernsey, and going back to the aqueduct), and the referee ordered him to row over the course, which Kelley did, the referee awarding him the race. Sadler also rowed the course, and great dissatisfaction was expressed at the termination, as the race promised to be the greatest struggle ever seen for the championship of the Thames. etas's'.

The conference met again yesterday at the West minster Palace HoteL Some time was occupied in discos ing the subject of accommodation bills introduced by Mr. Lupton, of Use Leeds chamber, who rspeaaantad that the practice of circulating accommodation bills having become so common, it was desirable that if possible some means should be devised of imposing difficulties in the way of their negotiation, or some regulations formed that would show their true character to all rein them under pain of punishment to the issuers in cue of ptcy or insolvency. The plan proposed was to forbid and make penal the negotiation of any instrument of exchange having the words " vane received," or "value in amount," or their equivalents, unless value had jpared for such bill between drawer and drawee, or value for such amount was at the drawing of the bill owing to the drawer. A resolu tion approving of the main features of this plan was sub mitted to the association, and • discussion followed which, on the whole, was not favourable to the scheme, the general opinion being that it would hamper the open none of commerce, and that the evil complained of would be partly met by the action already taken by the conference in reference to the question of bank ruptcy reform. The wish of the meeting being so strong, the question was referred to the standing committee. A discussion took place sa to the impracticability of some of the new county court arrangements, and • reso lution was passed calling the attention of the judges the rules about to be made by the county court ju dges com mittee. A cordial vote of thanks was passed to presi dent of the chamber, and the conference broke up to at tend the deputations that bad been arranged. The Ant deputation went to the Board of Trade at Whitehall to present to the Duke of Richmond the resolutions and memorials that had been adopted respecting commenial matters. The Duke of Richmond sent out three separate and anxious messages requesting that reporters should not accompany the deputation, and the dozen representatives of the press who had attended withdrew. Another deputation waited upon Lord Robert Montagu Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education (the Duke of Marlborough being absent from town), to present the memorial agreed upon the day before respect ing technical education. The president of the association was introduced by the hon. member for Leeds, who stated that there were 39 chambers in the association, that this conference was the most important meeting they bad ever held, and that the vote upon the siabjeet in question was unanimous. Mr. MUNDELLA, president of the Nottingham chamber, having introduced the subject, Lord ROBIIIII Morrraoti sieured them it was of great assistance for the government to find the question wee so supported, and that they might reckon upon the sup port of the associated chambers of commerce in the coun try. He need hardly say that be attached as much im portance to the subject as Mr. Mundell& did, and that the government had for • long time bad it under their conside ration, and had awed neither pains nor labour upon it. He was quite of opinion that it would be a great thing to use technical education not only to enable our workmen to equal if not surpass other nations in the race of commerce, but also as • sort of reward to induce b oys who were at other schools to remain there longer than they otherwise would, that they might ultimately rise into • higher technical school At South Kensington there was • buds to work upon which might no doubt be expanded with advantage. Within the last few yeas* that institution had increased most rapidly. Ten years ago there were no science schools, now they had increased to an immense number, showing that if our working people had the advantage given to them the would not be slow in availing themselves of it. With regard to art, the fact was that the reports of the pre vious French Exhibition declared that in emesequence of oar art rebook we had made such enormous strides that we had actually passed them in the matter of design. We had the means of surpassing other nations, and we had the basis whereupon to work, if we only could make up our minds to carry out some system. He still thought there would be considerable disadvantages in sending • roving commission abroad but another course had bean adopted; through the Foreign-office communications had been made to the secretaries of legation abroad, asking for reports on technical education as pursued in the countries where they lived, and also for any pamphlets bearing on the question. He had been working at one of the de spatches during the morning, and others were coining in radly. As soon as was practicable the answers would be gabled. Besides this, Mr. Samuelson, M.P. for Ban bury, volunteered to go abroad and look into the ques tion for himself, and he had embodied the result& in a very voluminous letter, which had been moved for in the House of Commons, and which he hoped would soon be in print. Professor Leone Levi had further been employed by the government to writes report uponthe same enbject,and that also had been sent in ready for printing. This showed that the government were most anxious in their considera tion of the subject, and he might add that they had gone so far as to consider • scheme, the particulars o f which he would be expected to enter into. All he could say was that the government had given their most anxious atten tion to the subject, and he hoped before long they would have the pleasure of seeing a meet efficient scheme carried out. (Cheers.) Mr. Forlorn, M.P., said he was very glad to And that the replies from the secretaries of legation were so soon to be printed, and he hoped it would not be later than Feb ruary, so that the public might have the matter before them. He sincerely hord the government would not think of relying upon tec hn ical education without a solid superstructure, nut merely of elementary, but secondary teaching. Without this, more harm than good would be done. He further suggested that, important as was the question of, technical education, it was only a part of the general system of education that required so much strengthening and amendment in the country. (Cheers.) Lord R. Illonnori said the publication of the reports belonged to the Foreign Department, but he bad every reason to believe they would be published in the spring. The deputation thanked Lord Robert for his courtesy and withdrew. Later in the day the deputation waited upon the At torney-General in the Exchequer Chamber to present a memorial on bankruptcy reform. The Panumair narrated the course taken by the con ference, and The Arrozutty-Gormux said be would give the repre sentations made his best consideration, and that he was about to announce in the House of Commons that the government intended to bring in a bill that would ensure some of the desired results. The conference adjourned with a vote of thanks to the president. BUTCHERS AND SALESMEN.—Yeeterdayafternoon a numerous deputation of butchers and salesmen, carrying on business in London and its neighbourhood, waited ou Lord Robert Montagu, 11. P., Vice-President of the Council, at the office in Downing-street, to protest against " the arbitrary and unjust restrictions that would be inflicted on the trade by the adoption of the propose! to compel all foreign cattle imported into London to be slaughtered in abattoirs adjoining the market ;" and also to show that the establishment of • separate market for the Pale of foreign cattle would be inconvenient, would de crease competition, tend to diminish the importation of cattle, and increase the price of meat." The noble lord, after listening with great patience to all the arguments, said that the government was very anxious to deal with the whole matter in a way that would conduce to the public convenience. That would be their guide in any 00021 , 3 they might hereafter consider advisable to adopt. He could not at that time give them further information on the point. A IS KW THAMES TUNNEL. —AR important engineering project, which has excited but little public attention, and for which the necessary parliamentary sanction has not yet been obtained, is already in process of execution, namely, the tunnel or subway intended to bo driven under the Thames between London-bridge end the Tower. This work is the third mode of oommunica tion below London-bridge which has been brought forward by the same company. The tint project,. for which appli cation was made to parli onent in 18113, was • bridge below the Tower, which was opposed by the Conservators of the Thames. The next was by a subway immediately above the Tower, which was, in its turn, opposed by the Tower authorities, on account of the pos ition of the shaft on the north aide of the river, the approach to which would have interfered with the traffic by the Tower-etairs. The present project has the sanction of the Tower autho rities, and arrangements forthe small portios, of lend on the Surrey side necessary for the approach have been already made. The new tunnel project presents, in some respects, • curious contrast with Bruners great work at Wapping, which occupied nearly twenty years in its exe cution. The existing timnel, now the property of the East Loudon Railway Company, is about 1,2:4t feet between the shafts ; the proposed subway will be about 1,320 feet ; the one cost above 4.30,000/.. the other is estimated to cost the comparative tries of 16,0001. Dividend was utterly hope less in the one case ; in the other, with only the same traffic receipts as those of the old Tunnel • dividend of 20 per cent , upon the capital is calcu lated on. If the estimate be not exceeded it is possible that, with moderate tolls, the traffic receipt will be much greater. Mr. Peter Barlow, F.R.S., who is the engineer of this project, proposes that the descent and ascent to the tunnel shall be by hydraulic lifts similar to those in use In the large new hotels, and that the passengers shall be conveyed from one shaft to the other in light steel omnibuses of perfect workmanship, and driven by man power upon a system of accumulating fora. The friction will, it is expected, be so much reduced by the exacti tude of the fittings and the excellence of the materials and workniansbip employed as to make the power of one man amply =Admit for working an enmities. The bottoms of the shafts will be ea the UMW level, and the subway will dip in the centre to give speed, sad to accu mulate force for the tut half of the journey. Mr. Barlow recommends his scheme as applicable to the relief of the crowded streets. TSB OAKS EXPLOSION.-INTERSZTINO EVIDENCE. Yesterday, the adjourned inquiry into the deaths of the 316 volunteers and miners who perished by the sad catastrophe of Deoember last, was resumed before Mr. Thos. Taylor, coroner. Among the witnesses called was Samuel Brown, of Barnsley, miner, the man who wan reamed, after the second explosion, who said—l went down at 4 or 3 o'clock on the morning of the 13th of December. I wait down of my own accord. I got • lamp at the top. When I got to the bottom I saw David Tewart, and saw six or seven other men. I went with them down the engine plane. I saw Sugden down at the bottom end of the engine plane. Ile was directing the men the light road to the stone drift. We met some men with • dead body, and they informed us where to find another, which we found, and took to the bottom. We started back again, and got 100 yards below the bottom of the steps, and there we met the men running back, saying they had come across some foul air. We at onc e returned back again to the pit bottom, and told Tewart what had taken place. I then went into the boxhole, but there was no person there. Afterwards, Bogdan, John James, Alfred Neyland, Tewart, Mr. !into, Thomas Limbert, sad others, also came into the boxhole. Mr. Minto and Sugden had some conversation, but what about I don't know. We sat down, and Barber, myself, Bogdan, and Alfred Neyland had some meat and bread and tea. Tewart was at the fore end of the lamp cabin, writing. Mr. Minto and Limhert went out of the boxhole together. A man named Dyson took out some lamps, and after that the explosion took place. I then remember nothing until the following morn ing. I was left in • state of insensibility. Ths first that I remember I thought I was in bed, sad than I diamereired that I was in the pit ; and thought I bad been asleep, and the others had left me. It was quite dark where I was, but I could see • light outside the boxhole; it was fire. I went out of the haiku's with the intention of get. tiog hold of the signal wire. I came across two bodies, but I could not see whom they were. When I got out I saw • fire on the top of the costae plane. There was • chamber near the No. 2 shaft, and it had fallen, and it and the wires were burning, I could see the signal wire in No. 1 shaft, but could not reach it; in e n d e a vour i ng t o do so, I nearly fell into the sump. I then went and sat down again, and then I remembered there was another shaft, and I went to No. 2 shaft and pulled the wire. I could hear the sound of a voice from the top, but I could not tell what was said. I had to wait, accord ing to what they told me, about three hours, but it me about a week. I was brought out by Mr. appeared to n and Mr. Mainmast. I knew one of them, but not both. I did not see Mr. Jetfoook, or Mr. Smith, or Sed don that 1 am aware of. The two first men I did not know. I don't remember any alarm about the explosion, By the Foreman--I stopped in the pit on my own amount. I was not prevented from owning out. I thought that Tewart and Roylan were more learned in mining matters that I was, and that if they dare remain I thought I dare. Some further evidence having been given, the jury found the following verdict :—" That John James Daniel Tewart and others came to their death by an explosion of fire damp in the OW Pit, on the 13th day of December, 1866, while nobly endeavouring to recover the bodies of the men killed in the first explosion. As to the cause of the second explosion we have no evidence to prove. The jury recom mend that in future axplosions, alter it had been ascer tained that there is no probability of anybody being alive, the number of explorers should be limited, and go in relays." PRESENTATION OF A PASTORAL STAFF TO THE lIIEHOP OF ROCIIIOII2II.—The Rev. Dr. Claughton, Bishop of Rochester, was presented with a pastoral staff at Kid derminster 011 Tuesday. Along with the staff were pre rented a bible and an address. Dr. Claughton, in acknow ledging the gift, said he had always kept in mind th e im portant duties of a pastor in the Church of God, and he should always endeavour to bear in remembrance the duty that devolved upon him of feedingthe lambs and the sheep of Christ's foid. He hoped that staff would help to reef all him of his duties in that respect.--Cheleatford CAronick. SOUTH LEICESTHHHHIRE ELZCTION. —The poll ing for South Leicestershire took place yesterday. The liberals' return at the ekes of the poll wee—Paget, 2, 2 88 ; Pell, 2,Z37 ; majority for Paget, 51. Two or three more returns have still to be received, and the figures given can not be regarded as folly conclusive. The conservatives issued no return as to the state of the poll at 5 p.m., but it was stated at their central oommittewroom that they claimed a majority of 23, although, like the liberals, they admitted that their statistics were not fully complete. Mr. Paget addressed a large crowd of his supporters shoat 6 p.m., and expressed his belief that be was returned. WORKINO MEN AND THE MANCHESTER ELECTION. —Mr. Jacob Bright writes to • local contemporary :—" In every ward in Manchester, during the contest which le now concluded, a number of working men gave much time and labour to secure my return to the House of Commons. On the day of the poll they worked from the early morn ing until the final result, sacrificing their wages and per sonal comfort in defence of the principles which are dear to them. Will you permit me, through your columns, to convey to them my sincere thanks, and to say that with out their essistance the great success which we have achieved could not have been accomplished ?" An aggregate meeting of the trades unionists of Leeds and the district was held oa Wednesday night, for the consideration of the present position of these asso ciations and the steps which it is desirable to adopt to secure their better reprerentatlon in the new parliament. Most of the speakers were members of the unions, and ad vocated the selection of a candidate who, if not himself • working man, at least sympathised with the opinions en tertained by them, and would be willing to suppot t lation sprozally directed towards the removal of the dis abilities under which working men were said to labour, such as the Masters and Servants Act, and the non-pro tecting of trades unions by law. The choice of a candidate was lett with the council Lady Esmoride, widow of the late Right Hon. Sir Thomas &monde, has, it is said, bequeathed the sum of 30,000/. to the board of Trinity College, Dublin, to build and endow a classical school in the county of Water ford. 817DDEN DEATH OF THE VEN. ARCHDEACON Gnett:ati.—We bare to record the sudden death of the Wen. Archdeacon Greenall, which took place at North wick on Wednesday afternoon. The yen. and rev. gentle man was in his usual apparently good health at the time of the occurrence. He was present at the meetings held on behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parte, am! was called upon to take the chair in the absence of the Bishop of Chester. Before the meeting commenced, and before he went on the platform, he chatted with his usual affability and good humour with the numerous friends around him. On taking the chair he called upon the Rev. D. 'Waller to engage in prayer, and afterwards on the Rev. R. J. Livingstone to read the report of the district association. He next addressed the meeting, when he stopped in the middle of • sentence, pat hie hand upon the table as if to reach the water, and after leaning a little forward, fell back seamier into his chair. He was conveyed into • bedroom in the Crown Hotel, adjacent to the Town-hall, and medical aid was at once called in. He died in less than an hour from the time of his removal from the room, between four and five o'clock.— Warrington Onardian. THE ACCELERATION OF THE MAUR BETWEEN LONDON AND THE NORTH OF IRELAND.—We (Nor/here. Who/ bare received a copy of the following communica tion, which ahoy* that the government have come to a de cision on this important question :—" London, Nov. 21, litiii.—My dear Sir,-1 have just been to see Mr. Hunt, the Secretary to the Treasury, aecompanied by Sir F. Hey gate and Mr. B. P. Dawson, to ascertain what was doing about the acceleration of the mails between London and Belfast. We were informed that the Treasury had de cided on accelerating the mails via Dublin and Holyhead, and that the sum necessary for such purpose is included in the estimates for this year. They have abandoned all idea of the Stnuiraer route or short-sea passage. We pressed Mr. Hunt on the desirability of having the accele ration commenced as soon as possible, and we were led to expect that it will take place on the Ist February next.— Your's faithfully, CHARLES LAN TON.—The President of the Belfast Chamber of Commerce." . . THE PARIS Eininivion.—The removal of the innumerable objects which appeared in the Exhibition is progressing actively. Hundreds of labourers and a great number of waggons and carts are engaged in the work. At the palace itself the food gallery and that in which the machinery was exhibited are on the eve of being completely cleared, and the engines which supplied motive power are at this moment being taken to pieces. The clearance is going on just as rapidly in the other galleries, and also in the central garden, from which neatly all the statues have now disappeared. Most of the structures erected in the exterior park are still almost untouched; but one of the moat important, the specimen church, built on the border of the lake, is already half demolished. The workmen are beginning to take down the lofty light house which stands close by ; and also the monumental fountains which adorned the entrance opposite the Pont diens. The double row of Venetian masts along the avenue leading to the palace is still standing. Is another quarter of the park, not far from the fountain fed by the w.ters of the Dhuys, which continue to give an abun dant supply, there no longer remains a trace of the colossal equestrian statues erected there. The reserved garden having only been closed a few days back appears at fret sight as if it bad not been touched ; however, the work of uprooting is going on actively, and in a short time we shall doubtless see those hot-houses taken down which gave shelter to so many magnificent and curious planta.— Gerhyrtani.
