Warrant Mr. Driutazzi has, according to the general belief, a back-stairs connexion with the Tuileries or not, it seems tolerably certain that his organ in the daily press has at length at tained to the dignity of confidential menial in the outskirts of the Imperial Boudoir. If we may trust the pla;nest signs, the Morning Herald has not only been promoted to the office of gentleman's gentleman to M. Di La Gummi- ICIER; but is very proud of its new livery. Those who have watched our contemporary's abject devotion to his new master's service dur ing the last few weeks will hardly be surprised at this result. Such touching zeal and assiduity amply deserved some suitable recognition, some appropriate reward, and none, perhaps, could be more appropriate than the privilege of fetching and carrying for the bigoted, insolent, and reac tionary clique that for the moment rules the policy of France. We have no objection what ever to such an arrangement so long as it is gene rally recoiniied and understood. The Imperial Court has generally had i n this country some organ dedicated to its interests, if not actually possessing a semi official character ; and our coutimporary has un doubtedly many qualifications for the post. Wo do not envy its good fortune, and would only venture in the hour of triumph to whisper a word of friendly caution. It would be prudent, espe cially at first, to wear these Gallic favours with a little modesty and reserve. The zeal of the most elevated and ecstatic devotion ought to be tem pered with some discretion. If our contemporary chooses to wear the livery of the Imperial Boudoir that is no reason whatever why Englishmen at large should be called on to adopt the politics of the oratory and the confessional. And the present is hardly the moment for attempting to inaugurate, under the combined inspiration of La France and Le Follet, a papal and filibustering propaganda in this country. Such a crusade might, perhaps, find favour in the eyes of some even on this side of the Channel, but at most they would be comparatively few, and those who are disposed to become the advocates of Papal tyranny and Im perial aggression should not think of addressing themselves to the nation at large. This is the mistake into which our Tory con temporary has fallen. Not content with tendering its humble service at the Tuileries, and eulogising the wisdom and prudence, the goodners and phil anthropy, the dignified forbearance and magna nimity of " that Prince," it openly urges the country to assume the same attitude of abject servility towards the Imperial policy and the Im perial Court. It dares to insinuate, if not indeed openly to assert, that the Government and people of England, instead of forming their own judgment, and taking an independent course in foreign affairs, ought to follow implicitly the lead of France. The latest development of Tory foreign policy is the cool intimation that England should hereafter abandon the independent course and liberal policy she has pursued, and become in every question relating to interests beyond her own shores, the tool and instrument, not only of the Second Em pire, but of the Second Empire in its most perfi dious and rapacious excesses. This is certainly very like what the Conservative Leader recom mended in the House of Commons last session. The moment selected for propound;ng this monstrous dogma certainly aggravates the outrage thus perpe trated against tho spirit and patriotism of the Eng lish people. It is on giving to the world the text of the new French Minister's despatch on the Roman question—the most insolent and mendacious State paper that perhaps ever appeared even under the Second Empire---that our Gallicised contem porary thinks it becoming to promulgate its contemptible and degrading doctrine with regard to the position and duty of the English Government and the English people in all questions of European interest. In this despatch, lauded of coarse by our contempo rary, M. DROOYN DR LHOYB has the effrontery to tell the Government of Italy that its righteous demand for the evacuation of Rome, though sup ported by every precept of international law and every principle of public justice, cannot even be entertained, because it is opposed to " the tradi " tional interests of France and the actual exi " genies of her policy." In other words, the rights of the Roman people, the rights of the Italian nation, and the interests of Europe at large, are nothing in the eyes of the French Minister and his Imperial master, or at most mere trifles, interesting, perhaps, to weak and sentimental minds, but iaethy only of being at once dismissed by the politicians of the Second Empire with a "'polite sneer." The sum and substance of the despatch is, that the EMPEROR being at Rome for his own purposes, will remain there till the " exigencies of his " policy are satisfied," in other words, until he is bought off—handsomely paid for leaving a position he has no right to occupy. Without right or rea son the Minister, having " taken the orders of the " EMPEROR," declares that his muter will persist in an armed occupation which all Europe has denounced as a lawless and calamitous aggres sion. Yes, M. DROUYN DE Lituva does offer one reason for the continued occupation of Rome, and that is a flagrant insult to this country. He saysthat the strong andgeneral expression of opinion in England against the foreign occupation of Rome has determined his master to persist in it. As England is unanimous in desiring a United Italy, the EMPEROR is determined, if possible, to keep it divided. The desire to thwart the wishes of England is thus, according to the despatch of the Foreign Minister, a guiding principle of French policy. It is difficult to conceive of any thing more impudent, utterly unprincipled, and insulting than the formal statement of such. a reason and such a principle as this in an official despatch. But our contemporary, with true lacquey-like meanness and serviliZy, hastens to accept the reason, and aggravate the insult. The Mors i,u, II ' , rale, holds, consistently enough, that on a question of foreign policy the strong and general expression of an independent opinion in this country is an offence which the Emperor of the FRENCH is justified in resenting. But we are bound in fairness to add, that the terrified and subser vient writer tries to palliate the offence, to miti gate the acknowledged guilt of his countigmen in this respect, by throwing a good deal of the blame on the FoasioN Srearraav of the English Government. He is largely responsible for these national demonstrations in having taken from the first a decided position on the Roman question, and held to it in spite of dignified and condescend ing rebukes from the semi-official organs of the French Government on both sides of the Channel. Lord RUSSELL, according to our con temporary, " has denounced the French oc " cupation in violent language. He has " stimulated the expression of bitter hostility " to France and violent attacks upon the EMPEROR "in the press and at public meetings. He has " outraged the Catholic sentiment of France by " coolly asserting that the assent of the Pore " ought not even to be invited to any arrange " went ; and he has outraged the national dignity " of France by the tone in which he has demanded " the evacuation." If the advice of our contem porary is taken, these grounds of offence may in future be avoided. If the Government and people of this country will only cease to form or express any independent opinion on foreign questions, and implicitly obey the mandates issued from the Tuilei:es, all will go smoothly in future—the EMPEROR will be satisfied, and the Herald will be in ecstasies. Or Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 18. Her Majesty, Princess Alexandra, Prince and Princess Louis of Hew, and Princess Helena, drove out in a carriage and four yesterday.

The Marchioness of Ormond has made arrange ments to secure the careful preservation of the old tapestry which ornamented the walls of one of the principal apart ments in the north-eastern tower of Kilkenny Castle, and which, for many years after the work of rebuilding the castle, was supposed, with deep regret, to have been entirely lost. It consists of a suite of sin pieces, on which is vividly depicted the story of the Kaman hero Dixie's, who, in the year 340 before Christ, in the Latin war, de voted himself, for the good of his country, by rushing singly into the ranks of the enemy to secure that death which the oracles foretold would 'mum victory to the Raman arms. With the exception alone of the royal palace at Hampton Court, there is not preserved in any mansion in Greet Britain or Ireland so 6ne or valuable a set of tapestry. A meeting was hold at Cambridge on Monday in furtherance of the Oxford and Cambridge Mission to Central Africa. The Vice-Chancellor of the University presided, and the bishop designate, the Rev.

Subsequently the Dean of Ely defended the Bishop of Laboan. He described that prelate as a man of good ac tions but unguarded words, and exposed an opinion that the letter to which allusion had been made was no criterion of his intentions.

It says : "The maintenance of the common constitution in Schleswig is a vital question for Denmark.

THE BOMBAY MAIL. MARSEILLES, Nov. 19. The Euzine, with the above mail, arrivel at Marseilles at 8 a.m. this day. The mails were to leave for London at 11.30 a.m. It is stated that the Princess Clothilde is again enceinte. The French court is said to be greatly enjoying itself at Compi4ne, and some of the most dignified personages in the state contribute to the diversions of the guests who share in the festivities. Two farces have been written expressly for the occasion—viz., the Corde Sessitde and La Succession Bonnet. Duke Korey, President of the Legislative Corps, member of the great Privy Council. &0., is said to be the author of one of these pieces—probably the Conk Sensible—and takes part as an actor in the perform seas Senators on the wintry side of GO play, one the part I of jease premier, and another that of a comical notary public. Advicea front Frankfort state that the German Bourses had just been thrown into alarm by false news of an attempt on the life of the Emperor Napoleon. Par ticulars were given to the effect that be was wounded on the left arm, and that the assassin had been arrested, and, although the amount was dot implicitly believed, the funds went down 4to 1 percent. In the evening the Court Journal of Darmstadt published the intelligence in large type, and, as the public considered that this official paper had some peculiar information, the report was telegraphed to Vienna and Berlin, and influenced those exchanges.' , The affair has since been discovered to have originated in a trick practised on the porter of the Commercial Society of iFnurkfort, who telegraphed it in the morning to the beak at Darmstadt, where the official paper was led to give oir maga= to it, without inquiry whence it proceeded. Baron Groa, the new ambassador of France at our court, will be remembered as having maintained so friendly an understanding with Lord Elgin when the two diplomatists represented their respective governments In the last war in China. The baron commenced his public, career in America. In 1860, at the time of the Pacifico affair, he was sent to Grilses as a mediator. M. Thouvenel was at that time French minister at Athens, and M. Denary de Lhaya was ambassador at London. FRA.I4IOE. (nom ocra writ PARIS, MONDAY Evnionia. The France contains a full, true, and particular account from its London correspondent (of course an infallible one) of the latest determination of the English government regarding the throne of Greece, which is to make Prince Alfred king. The pro ject, after having been for a moment abandoned, is now, we are told, seriously taken up. The British government will allow the lonian Islands to return members t o the parliament of Athens, and to form part of th a kingdom of Greece, on condition that the English protectorate is to continue under a new and special constitution, which will ensure the islands their autonomy. Prince Alfred will remain a prolestant, but will take an oath to recognise the Greek religion as the religion of the State. As a consequence of the new arrangements, Prince Mired will renounce his succession to the duchy of Saxe Cobourg Gotha in favour of his younger brother, Prince Arthur. The France cannot tell whether this plan will be gone on with, or whether it will succeed ; but what it does profess to know is that the plan has been very seriously conceived, and that English agents are at this moment acting in favour of it in every province of Greece, depre cating the Duke de Leuchtenberg and canvassing for Prince Alfred. Europe, the France says, in conclusion, cannot shut its eyes to what is passing, "for the enthronement of an English Prince in Greece is the East given over exclusively to English interests." One of the court chroniclers says that at the din ner at Compiegne on the eve of the Empress's fête all the guests were allowed the high honour of pre senting her Majesty with flowers, and that the most beautiful bouquet of the evening was a monster one presented by the young Italian ambassador, Ccanmander Nigro.. It was nearly a yard in diameter, and consisted of red and white camellias, surrounded by Parma violets. The flowers were sent by express from Genoa. These gigantic bouquets came into fashion with crinoline, of which the Empress was the inventor. The "Latest news" from Mexico given by the Patrie is that General Ortega, who succeeded to the chief command of Juarez' forces on the death of Gen. Zaragoza, is fortifying Puebla and the Combres against the expected advance of the French army, and that there were on October 17 about 10,000 men still at Vera Cruz, the state of the roads being such as to prevent long marches. This news, you will observe, entirely con firms what I stated from private letters two days ago. The Patrie also says that the health of the army was " much better," and that the north wind, which was reckoned upon to dispel the fever and vomito, was " beginning" to blow. It is to be feared from these negatives pregnant, that when the whole truth comes out, of the loss of this expedition bydisease, the tale will be a very sad one. The Correctional Tribunal of Bordeaux has just expressed a judicial opinion that there is no law in France against duelling, as such. The point arose in a complicated case of assault, battery, and libel, to which M. Lavertujon, the editor of the Gironae, and other journalists of Bordeaux, were parties. One of the counts against some of the defendants was, that they had written articles tending to pro voke certain parties to fight A duel. Upon this head the judgment of the court is as follows : Considering that the edicts and ordinances repressive of duelling were virtually abolished by the publication of the panel code in 1791, and since that period, although several draft bills have been prepared, no law upon duelling has been enacted ; That although a duel may lead consequentially to the perpetration of a crime or a misdemeanour yet neither of those results is a necessary consequence, be cause a duel may terminate without any harm to either party, and a duel in itself is not, in the view of the penal law, either a crime or a misdemeanour ; That publicly exciting parties to fight a duel does not, therefore, constitute the legal offence of exciting to commit • crime or misdemeanour . . . . . That it is Do doubt desirable in the interest of morality aid social security that such scandalous provocations should be repressed by law, but that is a consideration for the legis lature ; . Therefore, &c.. acquit the defeedanta on this count. The (lowlife/ion lief the other day called the editors of the France " Mannikins. " This expres sion having provoked them in a body to call for an apology, M. Paulin Limayrsc now explains that he used the word entirely in a Pickwickian sense. The France accepts the satisfaction offered, and proudly replies that its position, with regard to the Em peror's government, may be described in three word—" devotion without subordination." DEBUT OP MDLLE. PATTI AT PARIS. (From Galignanis Messenger.) One of the most brilliant Rua:eases witnessed in Paris for many years attended the debar of the shore• named young lady at the Italian Opera on Sunday night. The opera selected for the occasion was La Sonmanitula, and frequently as we have listened to that beautiful work, from which the favour of the Parisian has never swerved for a single season since Bellini first gave it to the world, and in which we have therefore year after year heard those great mistresses of the art, Mmes. Peraiani, Sontag, and Cruvelli, to any nothing of lesser lights, yet it has never been our fortune to meet a representative of the gentle village maiden, so peculiarly qualified by every gift of nature—grace, youth, charm of person, feeling, and expression, to say nothing of loveliness of voice and marvellous powers of execution—as we find united in Mdlle. Adelina Patti. Her voice is a high soprano, clear, resonant, and (brilliant in tune, and dis ciplined to a perfection that opens an entirely new view as to the extent vocal education is carried in America, for it is understood that, though of Italian birth, oar new Nightingale owes her musical tuition wholly to the United States. But her voice, beautiful as it is, is yet not the highest of her gifts, for the feeling and pathos she displayed an an actress in the deeper portions of the character won her an ovation the like of which is seldom witnessed in this city. Recall upon recall, bouquets, and overwhelming plaudit., followed in ►nd it may be questioned if Milne. Patti ever received a welcome more hearty, cordial, and enthusiastic in any capital she has visited than from the proverbially cold public of the Italian Opera House in Paris. For the present we shall conclude by one word to express our admire. Lion—in common with the entire audience—of her execu tion in the delicious finale of the opera, " Ah, non lunge," every tone of which breathed the spirit of extatic joy, and so close with hearty congratulations on her brilliant and most deserved success. M. Gsrdoni was the Elvin°, and both sang and acted it charmingly. The other characters were filled as heretofore ; and the orchestra, under the Won of M. Bonetti, left nothing to be desired. A Turin letter of the 15th iu the Sijcle says " A person who arrived from Pisa to-day announces that the stets of Garibaldi is as satisfactory as possible. Doc tor Janetti, who visited the wounded general the day be fore yesterday, hoped to be able to proceed to the extrac tion of the ball in a week or tee days." _ . The French orchestral pitch, as settled by the commission whose discussions exTited so much attention • couple of years ago, appear; to be in progress of adoption throughout Germany. The Paris Temps commences to-morrow the pub lication of Mr. Wilkie Collins's story " No Name," which has been going on for some time in AU the Year Round. Prince N. YoussoupolT has published the first part of "A History of Sacred Music in Russia." It states that the race of aristoeratk Muscovite amateurs, who flou rished till within • late period, and who sgure so characte ristically in the history of modern music, is rapidly dying out. "The amateurs," be lays, "have disappeared ; the orchestras, polo artists, and choristers sre dispensed ; and of this prodigious quantity of musicians there remal•s today only my orchestra and the choir of the Count Chars metieff." M. Gounod's opera of Faust, which was pro duced at the Thentre Lyrique, in Paris, with remarkable MODEM three years back, has just been received with equal favour at the La Sala Theatre is Milan.

Last night Mr. Glaisher, F.R.S., delivered a lecture in Exeter-hall in conaexion with the Young Men's Christian Association, on Annotation. The great hall was filled on the occasion. Mr. Knoixtrin, M.P., occupied the chair in the absence of Mr. Bevan, who was, prevented by indisposition from presiding. Mr. GLMBHIR, who wsa greeted with much applause on presenting himself, rid that he accepted with great matis faction the proposition made to him by the committee of the Young Men's Christian Association, that he should open their course of lectures for the session of 1862-3. He cc =pied to-night the position of a scientific man narrating his own scientific experience. "He was not a prophet, nor a prophet's son," nor did his subject lead him into the region of morals or of theology. He should not even attempt to lead them " From Nattue up to Nature's Cod," • path which he feared was seldom trodden, though much talked about. Men mutt go from God to Nature, not from Nature to God. After some further refatory remarks Mr. Glaisher entered upon his subject., and u the more remarkable featwesof his serial voyages have been already placed before the public, it only require* to be stated that his narrative was listened to with deep attention, and elicited much applause. At the conclusion of his lecture he addressed some remarks to the menthe's of the association. " There are," said the lecturer, " two words I very strongly advise you to exclude, or very nearly so, from your vocabulary ; they are the words impos sible anXimpracticable. if I may refer to myself again, 1 would say it is the power I possess of concentrating my thoughts in the work in which I may be engaged, and the all but exclusion of the two words 1 have mentioned, which has enabled me to add to the general store of know ledge the facts I have had the pleasure of dealing to you this evening ; and each step in this direction, as it brings us nearer to first principles, opens out to our view the prospect of • wider spread of science, and an increase of the sphere of its usefulness." At the conclusion of the lecture two balloons were let off in the hall in order that the spectators might be able to ap prehend with more facility the principle on which they worked. Mr. Cowell wu to have superintended their ascent but he was unable from illness to do so. On the motion of the Rev.

SlN—Several numerously attended meetings of leading members of the Loudon Trades Societies have re cently been held at the Brown Bear, Broad-street, Blooms bury, for the purpose of forming an organisatioa among the trades of the United Kingdom to agitate the question of political reform. At an adjourned meeting held to-day (Tuesday), Mr. Facey, painter, in the chair, the following address wee drawn up and unanimously agreed to. with a request that it should be forwarded to you for the favour of insertion in your journal : "TO TUZ TRADES UNIONISTS OP MI UNITED KINGDOM. " Fellow Workmen,—Our numbers and our position as the aly'lcd artisans of this country give us an influence which, if wisely directed, would greatly advance the in terests of the toiling mimes of our fellow-countrymen in every direction. Heretofore our efforts have been directed to the removal done evil only, forgetting, or only partially remembering, that all the evils under which we suffer have a common or igin, namely, an eater of political power in the hands of those holding a higher social position. We do not wish you to relax one iota of your efforts in reference to the amelioration of our social condition. Our advice is, be more than ever united for the purpose of reducing the hours of labour, and for advancing its price. Nor do we wish to turn our trades' societies into political organisations, to divert them from their social objects ; but we most not forget that we are citizens, and as such should have cllizens'rights. Recollect, also, that by obtaining these rights we shall be able more effectually to secure our legiti mate demands as unionists. Our object is, therefore, to create au organisation for the purpose of obtaining our rights ea citizens, or, in other words, our just share of political power. We know that our unions contain large numbers of intelligent and progressive men ; that many of these men are active and earnest supporters of every other movement having for its object the improvement of our condition, intellectually and politically as well as socially, cud we desire to see these men from the various unions brought into closer contact, and their present isolated labours concentrated on one great object, so as to make at successful. The objects sought to be obtained by the pre sent organisation are precise and definite, viz.: registered manhood suffrage, and the protectiou of that suffrage by the ballot. Upon these two great principles we take our stand, and invite the whole of the trades unionists of this country to cooperate with us until our agitation is crowned with success. We have no desire to dictate to the trades the manner in which they shall act on this great question. They may do so as societies if their members think proper or in dividual members thereof may meet among thet , nselves, and so form a committee to carry out their plans in aid of the association. The expenses of the 'Association are to be defrayed entirely by voluntary contributions, and all offices are to be filled gratuitously. You will, therefore, see that the promoters of this agitation have no other inter est in its latexes than the common interest of all working men who are now deprived of their rights as citizens of this great country. And now, fellow-workmen, let us exhort you to enter earnestly into this great work. It will not be the work of a day ; it may be of years ; but its ultimate success will amply repay us for all our struggles to obtain it. In this agitation we deprecate all violent measures and all :elect language likewise. Let our advocacy be fii.n intelligent, and persistent ; not a sowing of the 4ede of discord, but a promotion of the growth of union ; not an exciting of class against class, but an endea vour to extend the welfare of all, by moderation in our de mands, forbearance to our opponents, and, while earnestly contending for our own rights, by the sacred maintenance of the rights of others. Rally around us, then, fellow-couutry men ! 'The field is wide, there is work enough for all.' Hold your meetings throughout the length and breadth of the land. Poor in your petitions by thousands; but let them be well authenticated in their signatures. " Let us work, work, work—unitedly, consistently, and persistently ; and our voice will be heard within the walls of parliament, the friends of progress there will support our demands, and sovereign and people will at no distant day celelmate our victory.

The said district contained about 1,770 lamps ; and if the court desired to test the system on a smaller number of lamps, the committee were of ornion that the number should not be less than 500. The committee also recom mended that the metals should be contracted for by public tender, and be attired without further delay, and that the commission should undertake the lighting, cleansing, and repairing of the lamps and fittings within the district to be supplied by meters.

At the Liverpool County Court on Monday, Serjeant Wheeler gave judgment is • cue which is of matetial in terest to workmen. A joiner named Stephens sought to recover one day's wages from his employer, Mr. Ray, builder, Seel-street. on the ground that he bad been com pelled to lose • day's wages in order to obtain his wages, which were due immediately after having been summarily dismissed. On the part of the workman witnesses were called to prove that when • man was summarily discharged it was customary in the trade to pay bins at owe ; whereas on the part of the master witnesses alleged that there was no trade custom in this respect. His honor decided that when • man, as in the present instance. was summarily discharged, and was immediately bereft of emolument, it was unjustilleble to saws him to lose the wages of a future in order to °hien' the wages at a previews day.
