OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The triumphal entry into the Prunian capital of the troops is made the occasion by the Tina/sof celebrating the deeds of those victorious forces, and of enlarging upon their numerous virtues. It is not, the Times says, merely for their efficiency as • fighting material that the Pray. miens have won the admiration of the world no less than the - gratitude of their country. They have also well-de served of the mum of humanity. By the aelmowledmnent J.aad G. SAMPSON, Taws sad Outfitters, • i ind k Traca-ana, Lamaraare, W. ti pas wawa Stook of BOY'S CIAYTHINO ready made.

The amiable and gentle disposition which has cha racterised them when among the vanquished populations is something unexampled in military annals, the chief cause for this gentleness being that every Prue elan soldier is at the same time a citizen,—educated, and to a great extent polished and humanised. Men of the greatest refinement and of the highest attainments are mixed up with the merest boors in the rank and file ; end their presence necessarily exercises a beneficial influence over their lower comrades, leavens the mass, and raises the tone of the whole army. The Times publishes an important communication on the Spithead defences, the writer of which impresses on General Peel and his colleagues the following fedi : L All the batteries and forte that can have the power to defend the approaches to Spithead against an ironclad fleet are without their iron embrasure; and their guns. 2.

The Tides to-day plainly says that the foretellers of difficulty were no false prophets. Founda tions have mumbled under our feet and let down the superstructure ; indeed, we have had literally the task of building an the sand. The Daily News gives some account of a letter which Signor Matteuoci, one of the most enlightened and eminent Italian statesmen, has addressed to the Journal des Debate, in which he criticises with wholesome severity the Italian propensity to trust to mere patriotic excitement and occasional exaltation for the fulfilment of results which demand long and patient discipline and organization of all the forces of a country, with knowledge, experience, or genius in command. In another article the Daily New look. into the Austrian version of the affair at Isola della Scala, of which our special correspondent in Venetia sent us • report the other day. By way of softening the ease to English ears, the Austrian story describes this nazis upon an Italian village, and this wholesale robbery at the point of the bayonet, as nothing more than • moitary fashion of distrsining for rent or pressing for payment of a rate in arrear. What are we to think, asks the Daily News, of the policy, of the prudence and generosity of Austria, granting her extremest right, in calling Italy and Europe to waned that even while she is negotiating • peace, and pretending to desire • lasting peace, she is determined to exact the pound of flesh, and that she is not ashamed to ill-treat and plunder to the last hour • population all her severities have never coerced and all her blandishments have never conciliated to her rule? The revolutionary movement at Palermo is to be traced, the Post thinks, to a own* at Rome. It is manifest that while the temporal power of the papacy remains what it is Italy cannot preserve the peace she needs and is entitled to enjoy, and that the opposition to its modification points directly to • more definite solution. The Herald would be sorry to speak with severity of Mr. Pope Hennessy, whose temporary exclusion from parlia ment it thinks is a matter of grave regret; but his pam phlet on Napoleon 111. and the Rhine appears to our con temporary as deplorable a specimen of false reasoning, un- sound views, historical inaccuracy, and vicious morality as ever emanated from the perversion of a mindtposseued byta single idea. It a future ruler of France were to contem plate the crime to which Mr. Hennessy would urge him, he certainly might count upon Wing in this 00U.ntry 3 net • willing seeomplice, but a chief and ; , surmountable obstacle to the realisation of his designs. The Telegraph thinks if ever there was a man who had especial reason to be grateful for the English system of inquests it is Dr. Part. But for this public inquiry he might have lived the rest of his life under the suspicion of being a mercenary murderer. As it is, the evidence shows, beyond the shadow of • doubt, that he has suffered from a most infamous calumny. The Star calls upon the people of Manchester on Monday next to show they are worthy of their old reputation as reformers. " The eyes of the world," says our contem porary, addressing them, " are upon you—do not disgrace your name and your fame. Let your demonstration be overwhelming, your speeches moderate, your resolutions earnest, and your conduct unimpeachable. Thus shall we win the victory." DELEGATE MEETING OF SALESMEN. (THIS DAY.) THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1866. Tears Europe would be unable to resist their joint action or declaration, unless it prepares itself better by th• formation of a large and compact empire, instead of the powerless little stake, which paralyse the action of thole* el. due a thing, certainly, bodes no good to Belgium and to Holland, mad if Prussia and Franca were to unite to swallow up the Austrians, one upon the right, the other on the left of the Rhine, the recently proposed doctrine of Bismarck, echoed in the diplomatic circular of France, would amply serve for a pretext and defence of the new spoliation. Many will persist in considering the passive manifesto of M. Lavalette as an artifice to gain time to re knit alliances and re-organise an army. The Examiner expects that we are soon about to enter another phase of the Eastern question, and says our true policy is to encourage and hasten, if it be possible, the renovation of the Greeks as a nation, not only because they have proved by their tenacity of national spirit their worthiness of national life, but because they are • race loving freedom and industry, who would be less venal if they were more free, who are capable of improvement and development, who sympatlus' e with SID in most of those things that form the elements of modern civilised existence, and because they are the only people in the Levant capable of taking the place of the Turks as an independent power, or capable of being sustained as a bulwark to the overweening ambition of Russia. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian and Princess Louise, went out yesterday morning, and in the afternoon drove out with Princess Louise, attended by Lady Susan Melville. Princess Christian, attended by Lady Churchill, went out driving. The Prince and Princess of Wales dined with the Queen lest night. The Duke of Edinburgh, attended by Lieutenant Haig, left the Castle this morning for Dunrobin, to pay a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. Mr. W. P. Andrew had an interview with Lord Stanley at the Foreign-office yesterday, upon the subject of the Euphrates Railway. A deputation from the Prestwich Union, consisting of Mr. John Taylor (chairman), and Mr. Thomas Worthing ton (architect), had an interview with the Right Hon, Gathorne Hardy, at the office of the Poor-law Board, Whitehall, yesterday. TEE Qonnrc. Her Majesty and the royal family are expected to return to Windsor Castle about the close of next month, and after a short stay at the Castle will, it is understood, proceed to Osborne, where the Queen will probably keep Christmas. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESA 07 WALES.—The Prince and Princess of Wales will probably be present at the marriage of Princess Dagmar, at St. Petersburg.—The new ball at Costessey, near Norwich, which was begun some fifty years since by the late Dowager Lady Stafford, has, in anticipation of the approaching visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales, been finished, re-decorated, and re-fur- nished. The game in the park has of late been carefully preserved with a view to his royal highness enjoying a few days' shooting. The ball is within half an hour's drive of Norwich. ♦mong the visitors who will be invited to meet the Prince and Princess are the Earl and Countess of Leicester, the Marquis and Marchioness of Cholmondeley, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lothian, the Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Lord and Lady Suffield, Lord Hastings, the High Sheriff of the county and Mrs. Tyssen Amhurst, &c. The Duke of Edinburgh arrived in Inverness on Thursday night from Aberdeen, on his way to Dunrobin Castle. His Royal Highness was received by the Duke of Sutherland and Mr. Mathieson, M.P, A large crowd had assembled in tht itation, and on alighting from the train the Prince, who wore the Higland costume, was loudly cheered. The cheering was continued while the Prince proceeded to a carriage which was in waiting to convey him to Reesock Ferry, where the party embarked in the Duke of Sutherland's yacht for Dunrobin. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, on his way from Scotland, has arrived on a visit to the Earl and Countess de Grey, at Studley Royal, near Ripon, Yorkshire. The Duke of Devonshire has returned to Holker Hall, near Milnethorpe, from Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire. The Earl and Countess Spencer have arrived at Dunrobin Castle, N. 8., on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. The Earl and Lady Constance Grosvenor will be among the distinguished company assembled at Dunrobin Castle to meet the Prince and Prineess of Wales. The Right Hon. Spencer H. Walpole passed through Perth on Tuesday on his way from Balmoral to visit the Lord Advocate at the Cairnies. Sir Robert and Lady Emily Peel have arrived at the Hotel Bristol from Geneva, en route for London. THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT IN THE BOOT AND SHOE TRADE. This morning, soon after midnight, a crowded delegate meeting of representatives from a number of shops in the West-end district was concluded at the Edinburgh Castle, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square. The meeting, which commenced at a late hour last night, was held for the purpose of inducing the employers in the trade to grant a reduction of the present excessive hours of labour; Mr. HOLMES in the chair. The Citamitast sa'd the hours of labour in the trade were excessive, and it had been found after inquiry that more than 50 per cent. of the shops in the trade did not close before 10 o'clock at night. They wanted to induce the masters to close at 8 o'clock at night, excepting Saturday. In the West-end district he found 80 shops ; of that number 40 masters had signified their willingness to close at 8. providing the movement were general. They had the best wishes of the Early Closing Association, which had promised the men their moral sup port. Mr. Sumultita said they did not want any strikes, nor did they mean to use any intimidation towards the masters. They must use moral suasion, and he moved that an asso ciation he formed for the purpose of carrying out the movement for obtaining a reduction of the hours of labour, and for that purpose he suggested the appointment of a committee to divide the metropolis into districts. The motion was unanimously carried. Nearly 100 names were at once enrolled as member, of the, association, and the meeting having been adjourned anal Friday, the 28th inst., the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The distribution of prizes and certiEcates to the successful competitors at the late Oxford and Cambridge local examinations was made on Thursday, at the Exeter Guildhall, in the presence of a highly influential company. The First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works intends to have distributed this autumn among the poorer inhabitants of London the surplus bedding-out plants in Battersea, Hyde, the Regent's, and Victoria parka, and in the Royal Gardens, ICew. If the clergy, school committees, and others interested will make application to the super intendenta of the parks nearest to their respective parishes, or to the director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, they will receive early intimation of the number of plants that can be allotted to each applicant and of the time and manner of their distribution. The weather has been very discouraging for the St. Cloud fête, which lasts many days, and is generally attended by hundreds of thousands of visitors from Paris, who delight in wandering about the peep natural carpets of the spacious part, and amongst the grand old trees of this crown residence of the sovereigns of France. The Official Gazette of Venice gives the pastoral of the Bishop of Treviso, in which he says that the catho lic religion does not meddle with political systems, but has the high mission of preaching to subjects tranquillity, obedience, respect, and honour to constituted authorities. It is the will of God that the catholic religion should spread through all time end all ?pace. " Empires, king doms change, and religion remains the same. Political systems an a continual fluctuation, but the principles of religion are immutable." Hence be ans.., that as God disposes of the kingdoms of the earth, what we sometimes Komi ler as due to second outset springs rea'ly from the divine government, and it now becomes the duty of pastors to teach the members of their Back, " without distinction, to maim peace and tranquility, to pay obedience to the authority intrusted to our sovereign Victor Emmanuel IL, and not only obedience but reel act and honour, as we are taught by the Evangelist." he ervregqi.

Noavastoas-aaasw, near Bridgewater, cannot be recommended to those who want to lead a quiet life. Its magistrates, clergy, and people have lately joined in making it better known than respected. A few Sundays ago some blackguards went to Northmore-green church and interrupted the ser vice by their profane gestures and language, one of them, at the suggestions of his companions, having gone up to the communion rail, where a cler gyman from another parish was doing duty, and drunk up the whole contents of the chalice. Some of them were subsequently brought before the bench of magistrateb, when Mr. BROADMZAD, who pre sided, went out of his way to animadvert on the character of the religious service—a matter which had nothing whatever to do with the claim of the cleric, to the protection of the laws—and ended by passing a most inadequate sentence. This was bad enough; but now the Rev. J. Hurry, the incumbent of the church, appears in print, addressing a letter to the Somerset County Galatia, a production which is, on the whole, more to be regretted than either the excesses of the poor ignorant labourers, or the aberrations of the bench. I have just received the copy of your paper contain ing the eloquent and charitable speech of Mr. Broadmead in inflicting condign punishment upon the *mandrels who re viled the Body and Blood of Christ in my church on the 26th of August, and I write to assure my friends in the neighbourhood that I am not in the slightest degree annoyed at that ridiculous and infidel effusion, I am only sorry that the bench had not the courage and manliness to give expression to those senti ments on a like occasion when I was present, and when I could have held up their ignorance and atheism to merited scorn. Poor Mr. Broadmead could not understand " how God could be glorified by all this." Of course he could net. A man who is too pudding-headed to be in. trusted with a brief, after all the money that has been spent on his legal education, could not be suspected of having sufficient brains to comprehend the beautiful sym bolism of catholic ritual. But let him know that thousands of poor outcasts, who have been brought in vain under the successive appeals of high, broad, and low church, have by means of these rites, which he despises, been convertedinto intelligent and earnest worshippers of the Saviour, and that " those men," of whom he speaks so insultingly, are but two insignificant units of a mighty band of priests who each in his day, has h a d to endure the same spite, per secretion, and derision as are now outpoured upon the clergy of Northmoor, but who, by their genuine piety and deep learning, have become a great power in the church, so that the Bishop of London and other bishop s besides are now lying prostrate at their feet. We belong to an army who, ere five years have elapsed, will have exorcised from our beloved church the demon of protek tantism, who has already degraded her doctrine and prim. tice to the vulgar level of the sects. Therefore, tell Mr. Broadmead that the next time the ruffians are summoned, as they will doubtless soon be, he had better have some thing more sensible to say than be had on Thursday last for I shall be there, and if he grunts out any of his pro testant twaddle I will say something that will convert him into streaky bacon where he sits.—Your much obliged ser vant, James Hunt, Incumbent of Northmore-green.— Heathfield, Swansea, September 6.—P.S. Of course, Mr. Broadmead has never read a page of devotional theology in the coarse of his life. If he had, be would have known that dear Father Ouseley is one of the most sublime writers of the age in that kind of literature. It should be mentioned that we have not here the ipsissima verba of the Reverend Incumbent, the Editor of the Somerset Gazette, having, as he tells us, " omitted some of the more offensive per " sonalities." We have the fullest confidence in our brother's taste and judgment, but we are curious to know where and on what principle he drew his line. We should like to be able to ad mire the ingenuity that could invent anything more offensively personal than the heavy compound epithet which Mr. HUNT flings at the head of Mr. BROADNEAD. The reverend gentleman speaks of the persons whom he has converted : it is to be hoped that his proselytes cannot write. These Northmore clergy, if Mr. Hiner has cor rectly described them, will be heard of again. They belong to a formidable band, who have got " the Bishop of LONDON and other bishops pro " strata at their feet," and who, before five years have passed, will have cast out " the demon of " Protestantism " from the Church of England. They had better not, for that same demon is their kindest though probably not their wisest friend. It is solely to him and his easy good humour that they owe the protection and toleration they receive, while trampling not only upon the bishops but upon the laws of the land and the convictions of the country. Mr. Hurry is very hard upon those who do not read enough devotional theology to know that his friend, Father °MIELE; is one of the sublimest writers of the age in that kind of literature. This compliment is no doubt well deserved ; but if Mr. HUNT is going to write any more letters, we would recommend him now and then to give Father CirrYrinnux a turn in his private read ing. There is little theology and lass devotion in this author ; still something may be learnt from him as to those external proprieties which, if not virtue, are often its outworks, and which we can not afford to lose even in parochial controversies. THE WEEKLY PRESS. The verdict on the late Imperial manifesto of France passed by the Saturday Renew is that it throws no light on the past, and carefully withholds all clue to the future. It raises nearly every one of the questions which agitate Europe, and it answers cone of them, nor suggests an answer ; it gives us a momentary glimpse of each of the most gigantic transactions that are in course of preparation on the great political stage, and then instantly causes the curtain to drop. The Saturday Review, seeking to diminish the importance of the reform demcnatrations, taunts the promoters of them with the absence of leaders of local opinion, with sending roundthehatof mendicancy,pnd even a .th endangering life and property the character of their assemblages. To our contemporary, Mr. Bright's honestylookelikeduplicity,and Mr. Gladstone's silence is a cause for justifiable complaint. Treating of the Greek and Eastern questions the Saturday Renew insists on the independence of Turkey as a guaran tee of our free intercourse with India, but urges that on the other hand the Turkish empire is an anachronism which cannot long be left in its present condition. The cession of Candia to Greece ought to be regretted by no civilised Foreign-office, and it is high time fur an English government to show the Continent that, while it is reason ably jealous about the overland route, it is not blind to the condition of Turkey's Chtistian subjects. In the view of the Spectator the Emperor Napoleon has more than any statesman of his time the art of writing for a nation. Every word of the circular is sincere, but some. thing is suppressed in its expression of his political inten. lions. The occasions which he defines in which France may logically apply to herself the principle of territorial extension are susceptible of either • retrospective or a prospective interpretation,and when we remember the other passage in the circular which justifies the irresistible tendency of modern times towards large kingdoms, we do not wonder at the rendering given to the studiedly vague language of the Emperor by the French people. England is not mentioned at all in the circular. The Emperor feels justified by the deliberate declaration of parliament for • stand-aloof policy, to cast the horoscope of Europe without computing our tendencies and wishes We are not sure, however, that if either Geneva or Bel gium were seriously endangered we should regard the use of the French tongue, knowledge of French traditions, and the enjoyment of the French code, as sufficient reason for acquiescing in the manifest destiny of France. The scandalous incident in Canada, the spiriting away of M. Lamirsade, excites the surprise of the Spectator by its effrontery. Had the story been told in a work of fiction by a novelist of the sensation school, all the critics would have characterised it as improbable, and would have laughed at the ignorance of the author. Had a French Imperialist put it in a book it would have been advanced as evidence of a desire to blacken our institutions, and if an American had written it, the story would have been referred to as • specimen of the malignity of a republican. Yet there it stands recorded in the documents of law courts, a narrative of bare facts, such as lawyers delight in, and no more to be questioned than the authenticity of an act of parliament. After reading it none of our readers will wonder why the drawing up of an extradition treaty is so full of risk to the liberty of those who take refuge on our shores. It is sufficient to narrate this story to ensure its correct appreciation. The judge assumes that Lord Monet will adopt such measures as may be no cemary "to maintain that respect which is due to the courts of Canada and the laws of England." As to the public officers who have been concerned in this nefarious proceed s& they are warned that the Court of Queen's Bench, " holding criminal jurisdiction," will sit on th e 24th inst., to which day the case stood adjourned. The most important argument in the French circular, in the view of the Eznatireer, is that which points out the growing strength and population of Runic and of the United States, and stating that in a certain number [of LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE TROUBLES IN SICILY. The Italian journals say nothing of the republi can element amongst the Sicilian insurgents. The Italia declares that the outbreak is due solely to the monastic and mendicant corporations sup pressed by the law, who have worked upon the re fractory conscripts, and tried to create an Italian Vend6e. " The movement at Palermo," says the Nazione, " is nothing but the result of an alliance of brigands, friars, and of the clergy. It is the monastery of Monreale which has been the rendez ' you', the head-quarters of theee champions of rapine and of fanaticism. The garrison of Palermo has but 1,200 men. The population, from the beginning, has taken an attitude favourable to public order." THE PRUSSIAN AMNESTY. The Temps remarks that the above amnesty is a good example for Austria, who, much more than Prussia, is interested in securing to herself by acts of humanity and clemency the sym pathy and ooncurrenoe of all her citizens. There are no longer any political prisoners in Prussian Germany, but there still re mains such in Austria. It is greatly to be de sired that the Emperor Francis Joseph and his advisers should understand that a full and com plete amnesty will bo the best preface to these re forms without which the Austrian monarchy is no longer safe. SAXONY. The YoUorfreund announces that the arrangement relative to the Saxon army has been ooncluded with Prussia upon' conditions favourable to Saxony. The Saxon army will be raised to 40,000 men, divided into regiments, and will remain in the country, under the command of the hereditary prince, who will swear allegiance to the commander-in-chief of the confederation of the North of Germany—that is to say, to the King of Prussia. The Prussian system, as regards recruiting, and payment, and length of service, will be introduced. Saxony will be entirely evacuated by the Prussians. The new organization of the army is to be completed on the Ist July, 1867, and until that date three towns, not comprising Dresden, will have a Prussian garrison KOenigstein will become a federal fortress, and a moiety of the garrison will be composed of foreign troops. The King of Saxony has transmitted by telegraph his approbation. The Saxon army will commence on the 25th September to put itself in march for Saxony, and will take the route of Bavaria. HESSE CASSEL. According to intelligence received by the Temps, the 'Elector Fredk. William has by the treaty just concluded abdicated in favour of the King of Prussia, and has obtained, besides the whole of his private fortune, the Chateau of Hesse Homburg, where he will reside. A similar success is hoped for at Berlin from the negotiations with the ex- King of Hanover and the ex-Duke of Nassau. "If the two princes," says the Temps, "re illy decide to give over to the King of Prussia their sovereign rights, William the Ist will find himself relieved of those scruples of legitimacy and divine right which so:cruelly torment his highness." (REUTER'S TEL EC RAMS.) GREECE. ATHENS, Sm. 20. The King returned here yesterday evening from Corfu, after having visited Zante and other places. The English and French Ministers have also returned to this city. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. The Royal Mail steamship Asia, from Halifax and Boston, arrived at Queenstown at 5 am. to-day (Sept. 22), with 68 passengers and 12,000 dollars in specie. She landed all the mails, except those for Liverpool, consisting of 116 sacks, and three pas sengers, and proceeded at 5.15 a.m. All well. (Via Roehe's Point.) NEW YORK, SEPT. 11, EVENING. President Johnson received an enthusiastic re ception at St. Louis. He made a long speech de claring that the Orleans riots were plotted in radi cal congressional caucuses, and announced his in tention of adopting a course of determined oppo sition to the radicals in all respects. At Indian °polls so many groans and hisses came from the crowd, and such confusion prevailed that the Pre sident was unable to make a speech, and was obliged to retire. Several pistol shots were ex changed between political opponents among the crowd. The Cincinnati municipality refused to tender the President a reception. A delegation from the Southern radicals who at tended the Philadelphia Convention are making a tour through the States, addressing the people at the various cities which Mr. Johnson lately visited. Thaddeus Stevens has made a speech, declaring the future radical policy to be territorial government in the South, confiscation, and negro suffrage. Resolutions have been introduced into the New Jersey legislature, declaring that Johnson's speech to the committee of the Philadelphia Convention is calculated to excite a renewal of the rebellion against the constitutional authorities of the govern ment, being indicative of a revolutionary purpose on the part of the executive. The republicans carried the Maine elections by a majority of 30,000, showing a large republican gain. Numbers of democratic Irish voted for the repub licans. The Rev. Mr. Ward Beecher has written another letter, announcing himself to be partly, but not wholly, in favour of Johnson's policy. The Fenian Congress at Troy have deposed Sweeney for incompetency, and re-elected Roberts as President. An American steamer has been seized at Montreal on suspicion of being engaged by the Fenian. It is believed that no Fenian raid will occur before November. MEXICO. NEW YORK, Sir. 11. Adrices received here from Vera Cruz, via New Orleans, dated August 25, state that an engagement was expected to take place between Marshal Bazaine and General Garcia, with 30,000 men, between Ban Luis de Potosi and the city of Mexico. The liberals had destroyed and sacked Medellin. They had also captured 200 French troops near Tuxpan. The French gunboat, Eugenie, had been repulsed off Tuxpan Bay. OUTWARD AMERICAN MAIL.

(iniOit ous writ comearolmurr.) PARIS, FILMY Emma. The doubts which even in the offices of the government papers were entertained to a late hour last night, whether the Emperor would go to Biarritz, were set at rest by his departure, at 11 o'clock—the hour at which I told you yesterday a train was ordered to be in readiness. His Majesty was accompanied by General Fleury, grand locuyer ; Viscount du Manoir, chamberlain ; Marquis de Caux, ienyer ; M. Pietri, private secretary ; and Captain d'Escayrac, orderly officer. The telegraph informs us that he made a halt in the Landes, to 1 1 inspect the imperial farm of Solferino, and was expected at Biarritz at 4 this afternoon. The mayors of the different communes in which there I are Italians were informed that his Majesty de sired to travel privately, and could receive no addresses or visits. Nevertheless we shall pro bably hear to-morrow that the people assembled spontaneously at every station, although it is hard to think how peasants could get news quick enough to intercept an express train. I hear that Prince Gortohakoff will be in Paris in three days, en route for Biarritz. I have just heard that the Altutorial Dipto matique of last Sunday has been seized, and is to be prosecuted for the following article : In the hope of extenuating the culpability of the num berless depredations committed by the Prussian army among the peaceable populations of Bohemia and Moravia, the Cologne Gazette lately accused the Austrian wounded of having carried away linen from the Berlin Hospital concealed in their clothing, sad added, "in Prussia this is called stealing." We will take the liberty of asking the Cologne Gazette bow acts, such as we are about to mention, are described in Piaui& Prince Lobkowitz had upon his estate in Bohemia a breed of pure Merino sheep, which, on amount of their extreme rarity, are worth an enormous price. The King of Prussia was so struck with their beauty that he confis cated the whole flock and sent them off to his own private domain without so much as offering say compensation to the owner. General de X-, a high functionary, accompanied his sovereign to the chateau de Nikolsburg, which belongs to the Countess de Mensdorff, the wife of the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs. General de X- selected the two best horses in the countess's stables and took them away to Berlin for his own private use without asking leave of any body. Is it wonderful that after such examples set by the highest leaders of the Prussian army, the common soldier, drunk with victory, should have committed excesses in Bohemia and Moravia which call to mind the invasion of the barbarians at the commencement of the middle ages?' It was at the suggestion of the Prussian ambas sador, and as an act of diplomatic courtesy to be reciprocated, no doubt, when occasion shall serve, that orders were given to prosecute the Miniorial Diplomatique fora paragraph which did not attract the attention of the official inspectors of the French press at the time it appeared. The libel is a most atrocious one if false ; if true, every free man must applaud the libeller. A duel took place at the wood of Vincennes the day before yesterday, between two Parisian jour nalists, M. Duplessis and M. de Fonvielle. The seconds of the latter gentleman were the Viscount de Poli and M. CloSment Duvernois, and for M. Duplessis M. Armand Gourzien and Viscount de Sara. They fought with swords, and a number of passes having been exchanged without any result, the seconds interfered, and in:listed on the cham pions shaking hands. I have never heard that any particular kind of sword is manufactured for jour nalists to fight with, but there is a current story that special innocuous bullets are made for their use. Duels are more frequent between journalists than any other class of French society. Indeed, but for the susceptibility of public writers duelling would be almost as obsolete in France as it is in England. In the army it is scarcely ever heard of, although even private soldiers may obtain leave to fight. Without any special reference to the affair of to-day, of which I know nothing, I seriously cannot help suspecting that a great many journalists' duels are advertisements for the parties engaged. The Bourse was dull. Rents closed with scarcely any change. Italian fell 35c. Mexican was better in consequence of a good many speculative pur chases. THE PRUSSIAN UPPER CHAMBER. The Prussian Upper Chamber voted at its sitting on the 17th the electoral law for the parliament of Northern Germany ; but this vote was decided more from motives of conciliation than by a sin cere and complete adhesion to the principle of the bill. There are two things especially which offended the conviction of the members of the Upper Chamber—first, the application of universal suffrage to the election of the future parlia ment, and secondly the irresponsibility of members of parliament for words spoken by them in the assembly. Upon the first point the Upper Cham ber decreed, and even proposed through its com mittee, an important modification. Tho par liament, which is to meet at Berlin, will bear the character of a sort of national convention charged with the working out of the political' constitution of North Germany. awl with preparing the plan of the new confedera tion. The Upper Chamber, though it has not been of opinion that all the inhabitants of the country should take part, by their votes, in such a work, has deferred to the wish expressed by M. Wagner, the government commissioner. Speaking for M. de Bismarck, whose illness unfits him temporarily for parliamentary work, M. Wagner showed the necessity for absolute and immediate sanction to the project. The Chamber gave way, but after voting the law it adopted a proposition of its com mittee which asks the government to inquire whether, in the discussing of the federal constitution, it would not be expedient that the election of one half of the deputies should be made by citizens who pay the greatest amount of taxation, and to add to the Chamber of Deputies a States Chamber like that which was indicated in Art. 86 of the constitutional project of the 26th of May, 1849. One of the speakers, who had supported the propositions of the committee, M. de Kleist-Keistow, said, in concluding his observations, Democracy is the most powerful and most dangerous enemy that Prussia has. It was conquered at Koeniggratz—it must be conquered also in our Chambers and in the parliament." The Debata observes that the representation of the defeat of Austria at Koeniggratz as a defeat of democracy will excite no little astonishment at Vienna. A Biarritz letter states that the Empress has been on an excursion to Bare, and is believed to have the intention of ascending the Mune. Her Majesty with her suite also visited a shooting-ground at Atalaye, and re mained there about an hour.
