Alm Afternoon. 3h. 7.m LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9. Wnita the Princess Daox.fia is being received in Russia with an enthusiasm not less nor lees deserved than that which nearly three years ago greeted her sister in England, events are going on which present the reverse aide of the Imperial medal, and which may give her some serious thoughts as to the cha racter of the heritage on which she is entering. The newsof thetrial and conviction of thirty-four persona for complicity in the ICARAKOZOFF conspiracy, and sentences of death and banishment to Siberia, fill up the intervals in our periodic reports of the Royal and Imperial progress, and the popular welcome. The depths which lie beneath the glittering surface are laid open, and the life of the nation and the life of the court stand distinguished with painful variance. The different futures which seem to lie before the two sisters who are destined to wear, the one the English, the other the Russian crown, afford a contrast with which imagination might busy itself. Before the one lies the prospect of a partnership in a sovereignty over a free, stable, and well-ordered society. The throne reserved for the other is placed, as the Emperor Nicnoxas said, upon a volcano. While the Princess DAOMAIt is waiting to become a bride, ninny, who once felt as she feels now, are being widowed by death or exile; and the old and bitter jest which described the Russian Empire as a despotism tempered by assassination has received new illustration. Our correspondent at St. Petersburg has given full details of the conspiracy, which has bad its first victim, and now we hope claims its last, in the only way he could, and that is as the Russian authorities desire that it should be exhibited to the world, but with due caution against the acceptance of every statement as gospel by readers in Western Europe. The whole truth will not, perhaps, be known to the present generation, if indeed it be not buried for ever in the grave of ICARAKOZOPT. The Commission of Inquiry had its president in General MOURAVIEFF. If the Jamaica commission had been presided over by ex-Governor EYRE, hew much should we have known of what really took place there in the autumn of last year? The evidence on which men who have determinedly taken a side can send their fellows to the gallows ; the fancies and surmises which they will take for proof of organized conspiracies for massacre and spoliation, need no other illustration than that which our own recent experience gives. The official disclosures which have been published in the Northern Post have in many respects an apocryphal air. They bear a family resem blance to some of the most notorious calum nies of history. When we read of an organization framed to " promote socialist " teaching, to destroy the principles of public " morality, to shake the faith of the masses " in religion, and lastly to subvert the established " order of the State," it is natural to suppose that the " lastly " contains the gist of the offence, and that the other heads of the accusation are either ornamentaladditions, like the imputation of Satanic inspiration in indictments for high treason, or are supposed to be corollaries involved in the political charge. The " Organization "of 1865, according to the official report, sought its vile ends by means as vile. If funds from other sources were insufficient for its purposes, " theft, murder " of the rich, robbery of post-offices and of other " Government institutions, and even the heinous " crime of parricide, were all held to be justifiable "in view of the object to be attained." One branch of the Organization, known appropriately as " Hell," consisted of members each of whom was pledged to undertake, if need were, the murder of the EMPEROR, the selected assamin being bound to destroy himself by poison, that no clue might be found to his associates. All this is very shocking ; but worse things than these were said and believed, and held to be con clusively proved, against the Christians under the Roman Empire, against the Jews, the Templar., and heretics in the middle ages, and against " Papists " in early Protestant times. Even the orgies and the designs attributed by CICRRO to CATlLrive and his fellow-conspirators, are believed now to have been in great part in vented by the great orator for reasons of date and rhetoric, and in fulfilment of the sacred obligation to provide ne res publiea quid deteiesenti carat. That General Mouiuvrzry and his Com mission may have been influenced ih their report by considerations drawn from ki haute mg EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1866.:: politique is not impossible. The desigi • attri buted to " the Organization" of spoisdind Ea views through schoolbooks and popular literature, pm bably does little more than Mary the Ogmmill• sion's idea of its subtle and penetrating influence. When we see in what apparently harmless produo lions the Russisii - authorities now see socialistic tindsialnersive doctrines, it is only fair to give a mild interpretation to their sixong epithets. The varied ramifications which they assign to the Organization, and its alleged connexion with the other secret societies of Europe, may in like manner be merely the expression of a belief in the activity and übiquity of the revolutionary principle. Though there probably is much exaggeration and some calumny in the Report of the Com mission, it cannot be denied that associations like the Organization are in some sense the natural outcome of a state of society such as that which exists in Russia. Things there are out of joint; the old order has been destroyed, and the new has not taken its place. The educated classes, shut out from active political life, are abandoned to licentious political speculations ; the surface of society, unsteadied by connexion with the masses beneath, is disturbed by the casual influences of the moment. In the general disarray, the uni venal unsettlement, of political ideas, moral and religious convictions have suffered. The sanctity of property, of marriage, of the family is denied. A true Nihifison, as the materialist atheism im parted from the writings of some of the German physiologists is named, has been widely diffused. But the Russian Government itself has been a worse teacher than Atheistic doctors or political incendiaries. The ukases which have dispossessed proprietors in the kingdom of Poland, and in the western provinces, are little likely to inspire respect for the rights of property ; wholesale executions and remorseless massacres are not fitted to instil a reverence for human life ; nor is the rupture of family ties by exile and imprison ment a convincing testimony to their sanctity. The imperial policy in Poland, and, in a lesser degree, in Russia itself, has had one aim, in some particulars justifiable and beneficial, namely, to subvert by force, employed or threatened, an existing order. It is not strange that it should find, from time to time, unauthorised imitators, prone to use its weapons against itself. The most moderate of the Russian journals not very long since eulogized the Imperial policy as having for its object to make all the Russians equal inter se, and to transfer the soil from the nobles to the peasantry ;—in other words, to organize a territorial democracy, with the EMPEROR at its summit. Is it very extraordinary that men should be found who desire to add to these sweeping changes another ; and to establish a territorial democracy, without an Emperor at its summit ? The con spiracy which has been detected, and is in course of punishment, was purely criminal. But dreams of • socialistic communism, to be attained by vio lence and bloodshed, are only the too natural re sult of the confiscations and the executions, of which Poland and Western Russia have been the scene. The Imperial Government has sown the seeds of which it now reaps the harvest. OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

It is possible, • the Times pentode to sag, to prewar too far on the peeleity ariall supineness el England, and than may kes mew of outrages perpetrated to the injury • such near and dear neighbours, as would compel us, in spite of all our inertness, to take up another people's cause as if it were our own. As to the Eastern question, all we should care for is that Egypt should not be meddled with ; for the independence of the isthmus Europe may be =re that we would fight tooth and nal. The Herald thinks no one can be blind to the truth that —whether slowly or rapidly—the Ottoman empire is settling down upon its foundations, though it is a pure assumption on the part of the Greeks of the kingdom that they are necessarily to inherit the domain. Since no solu tion has yet been arrived at, no compact agreed upon, it seems the obvious interest of the European powers, so ar as they intervene at all, to attempt to heal the wounds, to bind up the broken limb, to steady the Ottoman govern ment, so far as may be possible, while' it writes the last chapters of four hundred years of a partially glorious and a partially disastrous history for itself. As for the Greeks, when they have consolidated a kingdom, they may, per haps, dream of an empire. LATEST INTELLIGENCig. SAXONY. The manicipe,l authorities of Dresden Wire sent an address to the King of Saxony beseeching him to conclude peace with Prussia and send back the Saxon troops to their homes. This step is suffi ciently explained by certain details published in the Breslau Gazette on the present situation of Saxony and its capital. According to this journal numerous families are quitting Dresden, where the public taxes have become too heavy for their resources. Since the 18th of June the country has had to pay a war contribution of I 18,000 thalers per day to the Prussian government. The maintenance of the Saxon army in Austria has already entailed an expense of 3,180,000 thalers, or 30,000 thalers per day. If to all these expenses be added the sums sent to the soldiers in Austria by their relations, and the deficiency of labour for agriculture through the useless presence under their flags of the soldiers of the reserve, it will be understood how ruinous for Saxony is the provisional state in which she is left by the postponement of the conclusion of i peace with Prussia.

THE EMPRESS OF MEXICO. A letter from Rome ef the 2nd, in the So lid kublie of Lyons, says: " The Empress et Marko is the subject of much con rrsstion here. Yesterday morning at 9, without having ratepsted audience, she presented herself at the Vatican to see the Holy Father. She was immediately received, and it is said she presented a petition to the Pope 'mitring his Holiness to sanction everything that her husband had done as Emperor with respect to religious matters. The story goes that the Pope positively refused, sad that the Empress then declared she would not leave the Vatican if her request were not granted. I cannot guarantee the authenticity of all this ; but it is certain the Empress did not quit the Vatican until 6 o'clock in the evening. She retired to the private study of the Pope, and his Holi nese continued his ordinary audiences ; he afterwards dined alone, according to etiquette, and went out for his usual drive, leaving the Empress with her lady in wait ing. She at length left and dined at the Hotel de Rome, where her Majesty is staying. In consequence of this in cident a rumour has got abroad that her ressonis impaired, and we know beyond any doubt that Professor Vials, the Pope's medical attendant, scarcely leaves her." The Monde, a journal likely to be well informed in such a can, observes : " A day or two since we received a melancholy state ment respecting the Empress of Mexico, to which we heel tat.ed to give credence. Our private letters from Rome unhappily leave no doubt on the subject. The reason of her Majesty has given way under the shock caused by se many hopes suddenly disappointed." A Paris letter in the independence of Brussels an nounce* that Dr. Manske, so well known for his treatment of mental diseases, has been sent for to Rome to attend to the Empress ; and the Nord, in mentioning the rumour, remarks that " the statement made by the Journal de Lilge, that the Empress Charlotte will nut be able to visit Brussels on the anniversav of the death of Queen Louise, seems to confirm the reports in circulation." VIZ ANZRICAN ZLECIIONS. The four States of Pennsylvania, lowa, Indiana, and Ohio vote today, and the result will show deciaively the exact condition of public opinion in the North. The Doily News points out that whatever the issue now may be, Yr. Johnson has but to yield to circumstances, to advise the Southern States to accept the terms on which Congress will admit them, and with their support in Congress he will be in a position to stay any legislation which he and his friends may think to be hostile to Southern interests, A minority of SI acting together on an understanding with the President could prevent his veto from being overruled. The Southern States have suffered all through the struggle from the judicial blindness induced by the habit at de. fending an established wrong, refusing at every step easy terms with their conqueror., and then compelled to accept onerous ones. The constitutional amendment now offered by Congress is one of the slightest conoessious ever asked by a conqueror from hie defeated enemy, and if it is hopelessly rejected, the Northern people will ask for more, and a few years hence the con ditions will be altered. The Southerners may then have a majority to contend against who will demand far harder terms ; a President who represents that majority ; and a people indignant at the delay. Instead of permitting them to come back on the easy terms now offered, Congress may then overhaul their constitutions, and refuse to accept them as really republican, unless to the equal civil rights which are demanded now there be added equal political privileges for both white and black. This is not the pre sent policy of Congress, but there are many indications that it may become its policy if resistance is kept up to o long. Witt Court. BALMOItAL, Our. 6. Princess Christian drove in the morning, at tended by the Hon. Mrs. Henry Ponsonby. Prince Christian went out deer stalking. The Rev. Dr. Robert Lee has arrived at the Castle. Messrs. Douney, of Newcastle, have been engaged in photographing at the Castle by the desire of her Majesty. The Right Hon. Spencer H. 'Walpole visited Mr. George F. Anse% in Bernard-street, yesterday, to inspect his plans for the indication of the presence of fire-damp and of choke-damp in coal and iron mines. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the North American provinces, the Bahamas, Heligoland, and Vanoouver's Island. Des patches were sent to the Governor of the Falkland Islands. The French papers state that the King and Queen of Denmark are expected at Marlborough House in the course of next week. Their Majesties will spend a fortnight in London, and will afterwards go to Sandring ham, where the King will join a shooting party invited by the Prince of Wales to meet him. The Marquis and Marchioness of Bath have ar rived at Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, from Longleate. The Earl and Countess of Daikeith and family intend to remain about a fortnight longer at Bowhill, Sal kirkshire, and will then go on a tour of visits. The Earl and Countess of Malmesbury, who are passing the autumn at Heron Court, near Christchurch, are expected to arrive in town at the close of the month. Sir Hugh Cairns, M.P., left town a few days ago for Ireland. THE EDUCATION DEBATE. The Times agrees with speakers at the late meeting of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire clergy. men and schoolmasters, that education in this country does not advance, even if it has not actually retrograded, and thinks we shall never have education universally diffused among the people until it is made compulsory on every parent to send his child to school, and until further re strictions are placed upon the employment of children. Until this time arrives, however, the philanthropic endeavours of all sorts and conditions of men ought to be s trongly encouraged ; and surely the rely worst way to do this is to fetter those who establish schools with unneces sary conditions as indispensable to the receipt of govern ment assistance. It continually happens that a well-edu cated man is found for schoolmaster who yet is not certifi cated. 'Why should not the school over which he presides receive its share of assistance from the State like its neigh bours ? But these are comparatively small questions, and the legislature must prepare to deal with the whole subject more vigorously and in a larger spirit. The Daily beta notes the singular agreement of nearly all those of our public men who have had any part in ad ministering the parliamentary grants for educational pur poses as to the miserable deficiency of our present way of meeting the requirements of the people. Mr. Bruce's statement that the subject has never thoroughly possessed itself of the public mind is perfectly true. The announce ment of a falling off in the exports of British manufac tures would any day cause a more genuine and uni. venal feeling of concern than that of a falling off in the number of children attending school. For generations past we have been getting to believe less and leas in intelligence either as a means or an end. Material prosperity as the goal, and rude energy as the unfailing resource, have been the two first articles of our unconfeseed creed. As long as the present low indolent state of public feeling lasts it is idle to expect parliament to do anything effectual. A great practical difficulty is in I the fact that the episcopal clergy cannot divest themselves of the notion that they have a divine right to be the edu cators of the children; but this will cease to be an obstacle whenever the public shall awaken to a sense of the im portance of national education to society, aa well as of its value to the individual child. THE EEPORN AGITATION. The Telegraph and the Star refer to the demonstration yesterday at Leeds, the former journal reproducing some of Mr. Bright's sentences as comprising the essence of the question. If, the Telegraph says, Mr. Gladstone is the official leader of the national party in the House of Com mons, the member for Birmingham is its representative below the gangway. Nay, so tar spread is the conviction of his sincerity, so widely has his eloquence resounded beyond the limits of the particular audiences that hung upon his words, that even across the Channel our Irish fellow -subjects ask his aid. Who can doubt, asks the Star, that these vast meetings taken collectively represent a mass of opinion, a strength of demand, a unanimity of public feeling which no ministry dare ignore or resist 'I If anyone were now to stand up in the House of Commons and deny that the people demanded reform he must evi dently be speaking against his own convictions. The Herald complains that Mr. Bright and his satellites will not leave it alone, and proceeds to state in detail what the misrepresentations are. The hon. member for Birmingham is then referred to as " the demagogue" and " this Mr. Bright," and one of his late speeches am contain ing " a farrago of truculent wickedness." The Post still declares that reform meetings in the north are organized to overawe and intimidate the legislature, and are therefore illegal and mischievous, though it may be wise to tolerate the agitation. Mr. Brand's letter is highly praised by the Post, which thinks it may not be impossible to bring in a conservative Reform Bill, which could not be opposed as illusory by any one who voted for the bill of 1869. OCR PO/LEIGH POLICY. Putting aside as absurd the rumours which it has beard are current on the Continent of English complicity in Greek and Sicilian insurrections, the Times proceeds to defend the foreign policy of England since 1815 from the attacks of certain accomplished English essayists. Wh►t we have done for others, through acts of self denial, has not always been of service to them. It is fir from certain as yet that either the Greeks or the Imam will count the abandonment of the Wands as a real gain, but as to Gibraltar, Malta, and other mere dots en the map of the world, even if we were confiding enough, as the essayists referred to contend we should be, to sue. render fangs and claws in our trust in the brotherhood EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

THE WEST RIDING REFORM DEMONSTEA. TION. The numbers present yesterday at the Reform demonstration on Woodhouse Moor are estimated, by the Electric Telegraph Company's report, at 80,000. The Time*, which has a special report, says it is no exaggeration to state that the whole concourse ss gambled on the moor numbered little lees than 200,000. The Maischaffer Guardian gives the numbers at as nearly as possible 90,000. The Lads Mercury says it is reasonable ti conclude that at least 100,000 persons were present on the Moor during the afternoon, while many thousands more witnessed the procession through the streets. Many persons, it adds, whose cal culations maybe adopted with some confidence, have made an estimate even as high as 150,000. The same paper thus describes the scene on the moor when the procession arrived : " As the time wore on, and 2 o'clock, the hour at which the van of the great procession was to be expected to appear at the corner of the Moor, approached, the spaced immediately in front of the platforms bream. more and more densely crowded, and had the appearance of five great semicircles of spectators extending for many yards, in front of each other, and touching each other with their far spreading wings. Beyond these bodies, and on the portion of the slope that may be re garded as the hollow of the slope running through its length, there were for a long time comparatively few people, and at no period of the afternoon were they so closely packed here as they were lower down. The ridge of the slope, however, vied with the neighbourhood of the platforms in the animated appearance it presented, for it was covered long before the platform proceedings commenced, by an immense throng whose numbers grew at a rapid rate, after the procession began to pour over it on their way to the platforms. Passing across tbe table land of the Moor, one could not fail to be impressed even more with the vastness of the grand total of the most moderate estimate of the demonstration, for this great ewe was covered with a crowd certainly by no means close, but, from the very capacity of the place, of huge dimensions. The great bulk of it was gathered at the two points, which, as we have said, were from the first selected by a vast number of spectators ; the others were either wandering towards the western side of the Moor or were careless where they took up a position, and so remained prepared to be wherever circumstances should place them. At 2 o'clock, with great punctuality, the music of the bands was heard in the distance, and the first banner of the procession appeared over the brow of the slope shortly afterwards. From that time even until 3, the hoot continued to pour down towards the platforms, the unmarshelled who awaited them breaking up, easily and without disorder, into two msssea, between which they passed to the various positions that had been assigned them. The line was, however, preceded by a carriage which contained Mr. Reales, Mr. E. A. Leatham, Mr. Ald. Carter, Mr. Alderman Tatham, and Mr. R. Kell, which bore these gentlemen straight down to No. 3 in the centre of the line of platforms, amidst loud cheers from ten thousand throats. They were followed by the first portion of the procession, who bore down on the same point and soon swelled the crowd assembled there to huge dimensions. On the procession rapidly swept down the slope, like a broad mountain to. Tent, end broke up into streams that now bore us away, now to the far left, now to the right ; in the various channels that seemed in their un varying regularity to have been formed by them through the long course of time, the throng grew ever denser. The arrangements were of the most admirable descrip. tion, and though the numbers were so great, there was not the slightest confusion, and the stream poured along without the slightest break or the least incon venience either to the procession, or the masses that hemmed it in. Nor was less remarkable the patience and the quiet good humour which the crowds before the plat forms exhibited in waiting for the commencement of the platform proceedings. At length there seemed to be somewhat of a lull in the advancing line ; though their banners still floated gallantly in the breeze, they seemed to be fewer in number and many were of opinion that the end was at band. Whether that was so or not, Mr. Alderman Carter, amidst loud cheers, at length opened the business of the day at No. 3, and soon at all the plat forms the orators were busily engaged." " Everything," says the Time* account, " passed off in an orderly manner, notwithstanding that the enthusiasm was at a high pitch. There were but few symptoms of brutish and sensual indulgence on the part of the labouring class. Whether it was in consequence of a warning voice having gone forth from the central committee it is impossible to say ; but the chairman of the Leeds Association had pub licly exhorted these parties to be on their gaud, as he knew that their conduct would be strictly watched by those who did not believe in their many high qualities." The recent deaths of the Marquis de Boissy, Count Bacciochi, and the Marquis de Turgot have vacated three Senators' chairs in France. As their successors, the papers talk of Auber, the popular French composer, Nisard, the Academician, who has lately published in the Ilfoniteur critical articles on the Emperor's Life of arear, and finally M. Benedetti, now French Ambassador at Berlin, but who will soon quit that post. The steamer Floride, belonging to the Trans atlantic Company, was preparing on Saturday to leave Havre for New York, when all at once she was observed to be sinking,: and before another half-hour she grounded in the basin. The vessel was about to take out 580 emi grants ; and besides the stores necessary for so many people she had on board supplies for the French troops in Mexico and 150 tons of various merchandise. No conjecture can be formed as to the cause of the disaster. Divers were sent down to examine the ship's bottom and position, and the pumps are at work to keep her as free as possible of water. MR.

Bright announces in the following note his inability to be present at a reform meeting in Aberdeen, convened for the 17th inst. :—" Rochdale, Sept. 29, 1888.
