M. Desk then moved in the name of the moderate party that in the address to be pre sented to the Emperor, his Majesty should be requested to restore the complete constitution of 1848. M. Deak further proposed that the address should contain the announcement that the Committee on Common Affairs had resumed its sittings. Complaints were laid before the Diet that the privileges of two of the deputies had been infringed by tho government. A bill was brought in proposing the abolition of the laws enforcing the celibacy of the clergy.

THE BRAZIL MAIL (asorea's pßzas.) The Royal Mail Company's steamer Rhone, from the Brazils, arrived at Southampton yesterday with 50 passengers, 16,8351. in specie, 13 packages of diamonds and precious stones, value not stated, and 2,389 packages of general cargo, consisting chiefly of coffee and tobacco. The Peninsular Company's steamer Surat was at St. Vincent on the 20th inst. A severe gale prevailed at Buenos Ayres on the 28th ult., doing great damage. Several vessels were wrecked and driven ashore, and many lives lost. Tho British barque Urgent became a total wreck. The French barques Napoleon 111. and Marie Elise, sank at their anchors, and the greater part of the crews were drowned. _ The British barque Simon Hobbey, and the American ship Star of the Sea, had come into collision off Cape Horn. The Simon Hobbey foundered. _ _ ...... Trade and commerce at Buenos Ayres were brisk. The.wool season had commenced ; highest price, 85 dollars. At Riode Janeiro the government had purchased the gold in the coffers of the Bank of Brazil, and the replacing of the bark's notes by Imperial cur rency was anxiously looked for. The war news is unimportant. The Paris Liberti says, on what it considers reliable authority, that several telegrams direct from the Emperor Maximilian himself, have been sent through the Atlantic cable during the last few days to the Emperor Francis Joseph and other members of the Imperial family of Austria. The Emperor Maximilian announces in these despatches that he expects to be on Austrian soil by the middle of December. THE REPORTED RETLRN OF THE EMPEROR GOUT or RHEUMATISM is quickly relieved MAXIMILIAN TO wr i t ing from Havana on the Bth, .697 : BLAIR'S GOUT and RIIIanIATIC MIA Obtained througa " There can be very little or no doubt that Maximilian's aar Clunntst, at lc lid. sad to. 9d. per box. intention, when he left the capital of Mexico, was to pro ' teed to Vera Crux for the express purpose of ' unitising • altogether, and abandon for ever the unhappy country which bas cost him so much trouble, without fruit to any one. That he should have come ti that determination, ; and above all in his present afflictions, without one friend to console him, can surprise no one. But Marshal Bazaine, it appears, sent a despatch by special messenger after him pointing out the impropriety, not of relin quiahing a crown which he wu not entitled to, but of abandoning the country in a shabby manner and without making a formal abdication. The marshal not only pointed out the expediency of doing so, but the absolute necessity of Maximilian returning to the capital without one moment's delay, else the Marshal could not answer for the consequences, both to Maximilian and the people. Such is the information I have gleaned from the source alluded to, and on which I feel full reliance Of anything from Mexico can be relied upon), not only be cause my informant was closely connected with govern ment matters in Mexico, but also because the whole was related and explained to me with a spirit of great impar tiality and consideration for Maximilian's misfortunes thrOushout this Mexican muddle. From a similar source I hear it hinted that /3asaine's ambition was to be named Regent, dining the minority of young Yturbide„ whom he would propose as the rightful successor of Maximilian. This and many other schemes of confectioning' emperors must be very edifying to the American people, especially at this particular stage of the Mexican question."

ADDITIONAL.] THE COMMONS PRESERVATION SOCIETY. The committee of this society held a meeting at their offices, in Parliament•street, last evening, to consider several cases in which commons and open spaces near the metropolis have been enclosed. kr. Shaw Lefevre, M.P., was in the chair; and among those present were the Right Hon. William Cow per, M.P., Mr. Thomas Hugh, M.P., Admiral Hamilton, the Rev. Leslie Stephen Mr. Charles Pollock, fx. J. C. Parkinson, Mr. Stephen, and Mr. Arthur Lankester. Plumstead-common, Hamp stead-heath, Epping Forest, Wimbledon-common, and Blackheath, were all subjects of discussion, and were all said to be either threatened with en closure, or to claim the local conservation pro vided for by Mr. Cowper's measure of last session. At Plumatead, a common known as Shoulder-of- Mutton-green was enclosed by order of the autho rities of Queen's College, Oxford, acting as lords of the manor. Here the inhabitants have pulled the palings down, and legal proceedings are now pending to dete rmine the commoners' rights. At Hampstead, Sir Thomas Wilson is iitz+ed to have built a house on a portion of the heath, and to be meditating further in novation. Certain residents in the locality applied to the Commons Preservation Society for assistance and advice, and a public meeting has just been held at Hampstead to determine future action. Epping Forest has recently bee, the cause of a suit in equity. In the parish of Loughton the inhabitants have exercised from time immemorial the right of cutting firewood, by what is tradition ally spoken of as Queen Elizabeth's charter. This right, they say, existed from the 11th November to a specified day iu April in each year, on condition that the first axe was laid at 12 o'clock at night on the former date. Curious stories are told of the means taken to prevent this law being kept. Sappers given and conviviality promoted, in the midst of which an astute and sturdy com moner has stolen out at midnig ht to keep the bond and preserve his own and his fe llows' rights ; money gifts proffered to induce intending wood-choppers to keep at home ; and persuasive arguments as to the utter uselessness of keeping up an obsolete form—such are said to have been the means fruit- lowly employed to shake the resolution of those bent on maintaining the charter. Where this document is, and under what circum stances it was granted, have not been stated. Midnight is supposcd to have been fixed in order that the privilege of wood-cutting should be restricted to boad fide inhabitants, but the evidence of the existence of the charter seems to mainly rest upon the unanimous testimony of old parishioners, and the persistent efforts made to prevent its first clause being observed. Tradition states that three other parishes near originally had the same privileges as Loughton, but have lost them through succumbing to the temptations quoted ; and it is also said that at Walthamcrowi similar rights were extinguished by the monks, who gave a supper to the commoners, and by engaging them in revelry until the magical hour was passed, • caused the rights to lapse, and made enclosure legal. At Loughton recent proceedings have assumed a peculiarly painful character, owing to the lord of the manor, a clergyman, having felt it his duty to visit condign punishment upon some poor cottagers for continuing to chop their wood after being warned that the ground it stood on had been made by him private instead of public pro perty. Imprisonment, loss of employment, of means of subsistence, and of home have followed, and it is probable that particulars of their hard treatment will be brought before the public, and steps be taken for their aid. The great differences of opinion which still exist between Earl Spencer and the inhabitants of Wim bledon are to be determined in a suit in equity, which is about to come on ; while the dwellers near Blackheath will shortly call a local meeting, at I which members of the Commons Preservation Committee will attend to proffer explanations and advice. In all cases, the central society aims at stimulating local public spirit ; and its usefulness consists in promoting the objects of Mr. Cowper's Act more efficiently than can be done by any exist ing organisation. The great desideratum is to pre- servo the open spaces near London for the benefit, not merely of those living near them, but for I smoke-dried Londoners themselves. It is well known that many waste lands have been enclosed through the apathy and ignorance of those dwell ing iu their vicinity, which would be priceleis as open spaces now. Mr. Cowper's Act, and the vigi lance of the l'reservation Society, are designed to prevent those enclosures for the future, and while the latter encourages the formation of, and invites co-operation with local committees for the same end, it is especially anxious to embody in its ranks all interested in the health and well-being of the • community. Drama. NEW ROYALTY THEATRE. A burlesque on Douglas Jerrold's Blael-Eyed SUM?, from the pen of Mr. F. C. Burnand, wr.s produced here last night. This is a much more favourable trample of its author); handiwork than A,•louy and Cleopatra. Considerable fun has; been extracted from the story, and the situations are less redolent of midnight oil than in many of Mr. Burnand's later drolleries. We are sorry to say that the working-out is not at all equal to the design ; the animal spirits want evening-iiress, and are hardly fit in their present costume to appear before society of a decent intellectual grade. The piece has been mounted with great care; costumes and scenery are all that could be desired. Messrs. Dewar and C. Wyndham played with real, and apparently unforced, humour ; and most of the ladies in the company poison fine figures. Burlesque might be driven tomuch worse extremities than those which are to he found at the New Royalty. There is a groat superauity of dancing in Black-Eyed Susan ; and a front-scene representing a telegraph office requires either new points or wholesale cuts. The burlesque was uproariously received by a crammed house; author and actors replied to a series of boisterous calls. A new farce, called The Gentleman in Tilite, followed, but its reception was, as a matter of course, an anti-climax. Mr. Wyndham played with spirit in a part smacking of Plumper in Cod as a Cueumter and Jeremy Diddler. It was past midnight when the curtain fell. MR. BRIGHT ON faun PoLtcY.—ft gentleman at Exeter has received the following letter from Mr. Bright in reference to the Irish question :—" Rochdale, Nov. 24, 1866—Dear Sir.—l thank you for your note an d the newspaper. The Irish landlords feel that they can rely on English force to sustain them, and they are care the ato the condition of the country and the feelings of tenantry. My plan would rob nobody. I would give more than its present market value for any estate pur chased, and I would make a new race of proprietors out of the present occupiers, awl thus convert them from disoontent to a real loTalty to their country. Everything proposed for Ireland, is opposed by the tory, and church, and landlord party, and yet this party has itself nothing to suggest. Discontent and insurrection may menace the country, but English force is always at hand. so the land lord sle-ps in peace, and feels that his rents and his power aro secure. If Ireland were 1,000 miles away from us, all would be at once changed, justice would be done, or the landlord'would be exterminated by the vengeance of the people. I lies nothing better in the future so long as the people of the United Kingdom are excluded from the House of Commons, and how seen we may be able to hear them included is more than I can telL I do what I can for them, and now they are doing something for them selves. I hope there may be some result before long. My correspondence is very burdoasome, so forgive this brief note, and believe me yours very truly, JOHN Baton?." The parish of Westbury-on-Trym, in Somerset ' shire, has a population of 10,000 persons, and for the space of ten days very reoently not a single death took place in the parish. Amongst several of our religious sects there are individuals who call themselves Cummingites after the famous Small& divine, Dr. Cumming. These indivi duals believe that the world will come to an end this year. Notwithstanding that 18G6 has nearly expired many of these persons fancy there is time for some great physical catastrophe to happen.—Aseeriamt paper.

The next letter woe from Mr. `Scrape, one of the borough members, who regretted that it was out of his power to attend the meeting, his health and spirits being Just sow unequal to the exertion required.
