A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS,• sestailting the results of the day's Races, is pub lished every evening daring the Sporting Seaeon, at sin o'clock. Tur. indications daily multiply that we are ap proaching the eve of a general movement towards Reform. The air is full of questionings. What is it to be? Who will have the doing of it? Will the prevent Ministers have sense and pluck enough to put their hand fearlessly on the mane of the in evitable ; or, ei ill they only try with wheedling words, and the tempting show of • mouthful, to get near enough to throw the noose over its head ? On the other hand, what will their rivals do? The Whigs are fond of saying that the Tories are not agreed among themselves, and that, as for the Radicals, they never could agree about anything. But is BlOOlEl5'B Club at lenity with itself on all or any of the main items of the great controversy ? If Lard GRASVILLE is to drive the family coach next eon over the Upper ways of legislation, is he content to let Lord GEST put on his here ditary drag ? And if Lord JOHN Roseau re sumes his natural place in the Commons, will he submit to creep down the democratic incline at the pees which Sir CILUILES WOOD and Si, Conniernta Lewis recommend ? It is quite true that the earnest men of the popular party have not been run in a mould. They have grown, like the trees of the forest, dissimilarly, each with a growth of him own, each with a strength of his own, end each with a worth of his own. Would we have it other wise? Heaven forbid! All life and health of pro gress comes of the open and unshackled exercise of that first and best of all rights, the right of indi vidual judgment. It is this protestantism of politics that keeps the breath of freedom sweet ; that keeps its vigorous pulse beating; that keeps it from de generating into formalism and a lie. But all this need not prevent rational lull good men from meet ing upon common ground,and together breaking the bread of mutual help, and when that is done going each his separate way. We have little doubt that whatever remnants of old differences our Tory Ministers may bring to the conaiderauon of the question, they will not have sat upon it in council very long until the majority, if not all of them, are brought to the conviction that three-fourths of the rubbish they have worried themselves so long to preserve is no longer worth keeping, and that if it were it can no longer be kept. We dare say many a stiffnecked Whig will in like manner yield betimes to necessity, and throw into the fire the chips of the stupid stook he had laboured to make into a God. But we have no doubt at all that the best, or rather the only way to hasten the ripening of Whig and Tory minds, is by putting on without delay, and keeping up with out intermission, " the pressure from without." The popular pressure to be effectual must be genuine, and to be genuine must be manifold, di verse, and free. Great armies do not advance all with the rime step, nor march to the same tune. And it were the mere "pe "dantry and pipeclay" of politics to attempt to make the various classes and sections of a vast community like ours pronounce the same shibboleth or utter the same cuckoo cry. The gentle men who met ►t the Ouildhall Coffee-house on Fri day to confer upon some practical method of further ing the cause of Reform seem to have been wisely aware of this truth. Comprising men of widely different opinions regarding the franchise, the mode of re-constructing constituencies, and other im portant points, they did not even try to make the accidental minority yield or abandon their opinion in favour of the majority. Beyond the reiteration of general convictions in the direction of a widely extended suffrage, and a c-maiderable transfer of seats, they came in fact to no absolute decision ; bat, entertaining a not unreasonable desire to see what their thoughts would look like when cast into the form of • bill, they asked the honourable Member for Birmingham to undertake the task of preparing one, and with some reservation he has agreed to do so. The eminent artist is will ing to paint them a picture, and a striking one he is likely enough to make of it. He tells them before hand, however, that, beyond • few prominent fea tures, he must be allowed to treat the subject in hie own way, and that after it is finished it must be at his discretion when he will produce it, or whether he will produce it at all. Mr. TA TLOK, Of Newcastle, and Mr. Cox, M.P. for Finsbury, a+.ure him that it must be a failure unless menhood suffrage is made the prominent figure; while Mr. BRIGHT CONIAGRAM, M.P. for Brighton, and Mr, Cur, H.P. for Hall, resisted the suggestion; sod the Secretary, having explained that the resolutions of the Conference sought to bind Mr. Boone to no particular franchise, the liberty to differ was finally put and carried. So likewise regarding ribn• los of Seats. Some gentlemen appear to have urged the propriety of embodying a system of grouping together contiguous small towns as the beet mode of forming larger urban constituen cies, while the project was warmly deprecated by Mr. ki'Lantu of Edinburgh; and the meeting de cided only in this matter upon deciding nothing.

Sir John Burgoyne said : _ . . Her /Neely the Queen of England, being desirous of offering to his Imperial Majesty a relic which she knows to be interesting to Francis, has charged me to bring to Parts, end to place at the disposal of the Emperor, the funeral oar on which were conveyed to his fret tomb the mortal remains of the illustrious founder of the Napoleonian dynasty. The admiration which I feel, as a soldier, for the sublime genius and exploits of that great warrior ham caused me to feel the greater pleasure at the choice which my gracious Sovereign has made of me fur the fulfilment of this honourable mission. Prince Napoleon replied : _ _ General,-1 receive, In the name of the Emperor, the pre cious relic which the Queen of England has seat to him. I receive it u a testimony of her desire to efface the poignant remembrances of St. Helena, u a pledge of the frkedship which unites the two sovereigns, ends' a proof of the aliens which exists between the two nations. May this alines long continue, for the happiness of the human raos I May t reserve for the future as heat results a those which it has already produced I I am charged by the Emperor to inform you, general, that he particularly appreciates the choice which the Queen hes made of you for this mission. We are happy to have to thank one of those glorious chiefs of the English army by the side of whom we have fought, and for whom we have retained such a high esteem. Most of the papers have svited that the body of General Sallee had been brought to Paris for inter ment, but this is not correct; and it seems that the report of a public funeral was unfounded. He was buried to-day at the village of Merinville, near Montarge. M. Granier de Ciumagnac, who has of late years become superstitious, states in the Beall that the general long had a presentiment, not only of his premature death, but also of the sort of death that he should die. He once consulted a fortune teller, who told him that he would attain the highest ranks in the army, and soon afterwards perish mise rabl. This was not a bad shot for a gipsy speaking of a so ldier coming from war in Africa and going to fight in the Crimea. But M. de Calsagnac cites it as a wonderful prophecy. There has been a decided rally at the Bourse to day, for which no particular reason was assigned. The Rents rose 20c. for cash, and 25c. for account, closing at 73.40 and 73.30. Mobilier rose 16.25. The Orleans Railway rose 10f. Eastern and Lyons, 8.75 each ; and the other lines about sf. The snit of Prince Napoleon to Algeria (says the Akhbar of Algiers) has been decidedly postponed to next spring. His Imperial Highness announced the fact himself to a deputation from this colony who were presented to him a few days ago. HOLSTEIN. COPENHAGEN, SATtriumr. The Bing of Denmark, by two ordinances, dated November 6, has abrogated the law of October 2, 1855, so far as relates to the duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg, and also the six first paragraph, of the ordinance of June 14, 1854, and the letters patent of June 23, 1856. The States of Holetein are convoked for January 3. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 3. his consciousness of the inherent difficulties of the attempt without t of popular support. It took the whole energy and talent of the brilliant Administration of Earl GREY, backed by the enthusiasm of the nation at large, to carry in 1832 the 101. franchise and Schedule A. If the times are improved, and anti-popular fears are grown less strong, it must on the other hand be re membered that the very need of an independent mem ber's Bill rests on the supposition that the scheme of Oovernsmt will prove unsatisfactory to advanced Liberals. To countervail the weight of Oovern meat and the resisting power of the House of Lords, there must either be complete union in the ranks of Opposition within doors, or something approaching to unanimity without. How is the latter to be ob tained? To any measure whose details display an extensive plan of local disfranchisement, local resist ance mast of course be counted on ; and from any measure which, when examined, is found to refuse electoral privileges to any important class or classes of the community, their support would probably be withheld. Considerations no doubt like these oc curred to the mind of Mr. Batons when condition ally accepting the trust his friends sought to confide in him. He well knows that neither Catholic Emancipation, nor the Repeal of the Corn Laws, nor the Reform Bill of 1832, could have been carried by an Opposition leader, even though Opposition had been unanimous in following his lead. The popular organisations which mainly caused the success of those great measures were one and all of them directed to the mules' iteration, in a few plain words, of two or three great principles, whereby the hearts of men were sympathetically stirred, while their jealousies were not aroused nor their gnat , reling propensities stimulated by the discussion of legislatire details. One or two deviations from this general rule might, indeed, be pointed out, but they are not precedents of success. Circumstances there may be in the present cue which form a distinction ; and, for our parts, we are so much disposed to ' , believe in the eventual good of every species of dis cussion, that we shall hail with sympathy and atten tion every project that may be put forward, come whence it may, for the real Amendment of our Repre mutative System. We may remind Miniaters that after all the country will hold them alone responsible for the timely prepa ration of a comprehensive and satisfactory measure. Parliamentary Government imposes inalienably on the Ministerial advisers of the Executive the duty of considering in all great concerns what the welfare of the State demands ; and no volunteer assistance which they may be proffered can relieve them from the weighty responsibility which is the condition of their official existence. On the second reading of the Ministerial plan of Reform for next session the' House of Commons will have to vote aye or no. Men wto are actuated by very different motives, and who in debate may assign very different grounds of objection to the scheme, may, and probably will, combine for its rejection. If Lord DERBY'S Cabinet hope to carry their measure ultimately, or to pro long their own existence, they have but one course to follow. Let them bring in such • Bill as will obviate the necessity of any other, and then let the Home of Commons reject it if they will. They may depend upon it no majority will venture to do so if their proposal is one on which they can appeal to the country. THE ALLEGED CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE SALOON OMNIBUS COMPANY.

I have energetically demanded the restitution of the Charles-et-Georges because I shall ever maintain the independence of the national flag ; but as to the principle of the contract, my ideas are far from being fixed.

If at Roma it is designed to bring us back to the times of feudality and the holy Inquisition, and to convert the Catholic religion into an instrument of tyranny and oppression, then we Gay that the conquests of reason and the public conscience have met our fathers too much blood and too many swiftest of all kinds for us now to suffer a few fanatical to set at nought these dearly bought rights. • • • If the doctrines d the Niters should triumph at Rome, and if there should be sa p repetition of Mortara's • raw, we should indeed lament seek blindnesa, end say, from the bottom of oar hearts, tirbappy Rome I Unhappy Pope I ... . ... . There is not a line worth the notice of the Eng lish reader in any of the other papers, and there is no political news stirring in Paris, whatever there may be at Compiegne, where there is • cabinet council to-day. The Pattie, in a paragraph to which I have already alluded, as expressing an opinion that M. de Mon talembert's cam does not came within the law of public safety, went on to say that in any event the government would never for a moment think of applying that law to an honourable man like M. de Montalembert ; that law was made more against enemies of society than political enemies of the government; it was never meant to apply to any but rare and exceptional cases; and now, under the regular and legal sway of M. Delangle, there was no probability of its being used as it was in the time of General Peplums. It is to be inferred that the sentiments expressed by the Petrie are not in accordance with those of the government, for all the journals of Paris received peremptory orders not to reproduoe the paragraph. Baron La Roeder. le Nonry, captain in the French navy, arrived at Berlin on October 6, on a special mission, and was to have a private audience of the Prince Regent the next day. Prince Adam Czartoryski, who has lived in Paris ever since the Polish emigration, has received per mission from the Prince Regent of Prussia to pay a visit to his daughter in the Grand Duchy of Posen.

Argus, of September 16, com mences its summary of the events of the month with the usual complaint of the irregularity of the mail service. The Australasian, due on the 6th inst., with the English mails of the 12th and 17th July, had not made her appearance, and the public were left once more in doubt as to the prospect of being able to reply to the mails in course of post. The yield of the gold fields is maintained with extraordinary regularity. Daring the last tl”ee months the returns had been almost identical with those of 1867. While the returns exhibit this satis factory result, it is remarkable that very little new ground is being opened up.

It was understood that Ministers will endeavour to push forward the estimates for the ensuing year, so me to enable the Houses in a brief session to pass the Appropriation Act, and dispose of the Reform Bill. The question of defenoes has long occupied public attention. A Commission was recently appointed to report generally on the subject. " We believe; says the Argus," they recommend that a block-ship of some 80 guns be forwarded from England to be moored within Port Phillip Heads, and that the Bay on either side of the mouth of the river be armed with batteries. Volunteer forces are en rolling in all the principal districts of the colony. These facts will show that we are not insensible either to our dangers or oar responsibilities. Whilst we are thus preparing, however, for whatever contin gencies may befall us as a part of the British em pire, we trust that the recognition of our relation ship will be a reciprocal one, and that England will remember she has a duty to perform to us. In the event of a war, there are treasures in Australia that may well tempt the cupidity of an enemy. They constitute a part of the national wealth, and should be in some measure under the shield of national protection." Of the labour market the Argue reports : We have still many men unemployed. The railway works have been interrupted by strike., muted pertly by the unfair treatment of the contractors, and pertly by a foolish attempt on the part of the men to force from them a higher rate of wages at • time when this was impossible, as labour Is still • much In excess of the present demand.

SWEARING IN OP THE NSW LORD MAYOR. (ISM DAY) This afternoon Lord Mayor Carden was gathered to his fathers (chief magisterial), with all the timehonoured ceremonies of civic state, and Lord Mayor Wire now reign / la his stead, having been duly sworn in at Guildhall, accord. bag to the requirement of the City Charter and custom immemorial. It is a vulgar error to suppose that the Le a l Mayor Elect sad dejure only becomes Lord Mayor de fact o on the 9th of November, ►y virtue of the procession to Westminster and the feast at Guildhall, for in truth the Lord Mayor Elect becomes Lord Mayor in resEty so soon ea he has berm sworn in, as Alderman Wire, duos Michael mas-day Lord Mayor Elect, was sworn in this afternoon, go displacing flir Robert Walter Carder', Knight, who is, at this moment end henceforward, Knight only, and neither Lord Mayor nor " Right Honourable." And the change me wrought in this way : Boon after twelve o'clock the companies of the Lord Mayer and the Lord Mayor Elect began to gather it the Mansion. house, where breakfast was for them set out, as well u for the Aldermen, the Sheriffs, the Recorder, and the great dB. owe of the Corporation—the Lord Mayor, Lord Mayor Elect, Aldermen, and Sheriffs having donned their mkt gowns in honour of the °cession, and the crown dims wearing their respective gowns of office. Brea/tut being over, the Lord Mayor, attended by the Bwordbearer, the Common Coler, and the Lord Mayor's Chaplain, quitted the Minion-house by the front door and proceeded to Guildhall, the Aldenuen, Sheriffs' officer., and Lord Mayor's company following from the same door Ix their carriages; and then the Lord Mayor Elect and his sompany proceeded to Guildhall likewise, having quitted the Mansion-house by the private door— thus reminding the Lord Mayor Elect (Wire) that it wee only as a guest he had breakfasted at the City Palace, which, for the next twelve months, he was expected to reign supreme and omnipotent. Arrived at Gtuldhall, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, sad officers, proceeded to the Aldermen's Council Chamber, and there awaited the advent of the Lord Mayor Elect, who was apftdily introduced by two Aldermen who had weed the chair. -- Hence they went in procession, the Lord Mayor Elect being on the Lord Mayor's left hand, to the hustings in the Great Hell, where, owing to the preparations for to-morrow's banquet there were abundant signs of bustle and disarray, and where the companies of the Lord Mayor and the Lord Mayor Elect had already ranged themselves on either side of the presidential chair. Then the notabilities of the day having taken their brats. the Common Crier (Mr. Beddome), who seems to weer well notwithstanding the onerous duties of his office, bore his mace up to the table, making three reverences on his way, and stood at the table with hie mace before him. And then the town-clerk, on the north side of the table, made first one low reverence, and then two others; and, kneeling on &stool at the table, he administered the usual oaths to the Lord Mayor Elect, who was standing opposite; and David Williams Wire having taken those oaths, became forthwith Lord Mayor of London, as well IPA Privy Councillor and Right Honourable by prescription. As Lord Mayor, ho then signed the usual de claration, and Sir R. W. Carden, the late Lord Mayor, rose from hi, seat of honour, which he surrendered to the new Lord Mayor, and with becoming humtlity took his seat on his left. Then the Town Clerk having fulfilled ht share of the duties, retired, and was succeeded by the City Chamberlain (Mr. B. 800tt), new to office but not the less apt in making his three reverences sa he approached the table on the eon& side sad presented the " diamond sceptre" to the late Lord Mayor, who trenferred it to the new Lord Mayor, and then retiring the Chamberlain advanced a second time sad presented in the same manner u before, the " Beal of the office of Mayoralty ;" and again retiring be advanced a third time to present the "puree," and then retired finally to teaks way for The Sworelbearer (Mr. H. W. Sewell), who, with three reverences, presented the sword (which did not seem te fatigue him by its weight) to the late Lord Mayor. who re. delivered it to the Bwordbearer, who laid it upon the table, and then retired, ea beams him in such presence, with Buss more reverences. Sn also did the Common Crier again advsnoe, end ageia retire, end so advanced the Chamberlain's chief clerk, holding a velvet cushion, upon which the Lord Mayor de. posited the sceptre, the seal, end the puree, with which the Chief Clerk retired (not forgetting his three reverences) to the Chamberlain's office. _ _ _ So a:1;7;i; 87rOrdbearer again advanced and remind back hie sword, end the Common Crier received back We mace, and the Aldermen, Sheriffs, end City otiose, advanced in rotation to congratulate and shake hand. Mil his lordehip, who bore his newly dodged honours as meekly as tinder the circumatances could be expected. Then the Lord Mayor and the late Lori Mayor, preceded by the offices., Aldermen. Recorder, Sheriffs, end the two livery companies, quitted Guildhall,and proo•MW is the state coach to the Mansion-house, the Lad Mayor en tering first, and oocup)ing the right band, the late Lott Mayor being on his left, end there the whole, with other suede, will dine this evening, the chaplain to the lei Lord Mayor saying grace before meat, and the chaplain lo the new Lord Mayor aftermeat, so fairly dividing the bosoms of office between them, and it may safely be predicted that that dinner, if less megoidoent end impoting in its details, will be at least as comfortable as the grand civic banquet— the great feast of the year—upon which Clog end Magog will to-morrow look down with hungry eyes. ROYAL PROCLAMATIONS FOR FASTS.—A depute- Con from the Synod of the United Presbyteries Church (a voluntary dissenting body) had en interview with the lad Advocate at Edinburgh on this abject. They urged upon his lordship the propriety of substituting for words of con mend those of invitation or rshortation in the royal prod*. mation, which would thereby remove the conscientious objections felt by many to its observance. His lordship stated that the views of so mamma and respectable a body as the United ?reel)). terian Church were entitled to the most serious consideration. especially as affecting a gametica of religious liberty. As this matter, however, did not hE exclusively within his province, he suggested the presenta tion of a memorial to the Prime Minister or Home Seeman with which suggestion the deputation stated that they walla lose no doss in complying.
