THE NEW STREETS Acr.—A deputation of cab proprieton waited on Mr. Hardy and Sir Richard Mayne on 14 - ednesday, to ask for a suspension of the New Metro politan Streets Traffic Act, and that a bill should be brought in next session consolidating all the existing acts relative to hackney carriages. Both gentlemen informed the deputation that they had no power to suspend the operations of the act, but that they would consider the suggestions brought before them. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (RIM% TZLICILLII9.) FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 14, Evrnsa. The Pabie of this evening asserts that the Chevalier di Nigra is expected in London, with instructions to confer with the English cabinet respecting the proposed conference on the Roman question, and to notify that Italy adheres in princi ple to that project. The same journal gives the names of eight indi viduals who have been arrested on suspicion of belonging to a secret society. Their apartments had been previously searched. The names of the arrested individuals are :—M. Accolao, Pierre Alan, Louis Chaldean, Francois Godichet, Henri Can, Henri Hagolt, M. Magnet, Alfred Gonet. They were brought up for examination yesterday. The pamphlet entitled " Napoleon 111. and Europe in 1867 " concludes with the following ob servations : " Tho alliance between France, Germany, and England demands that the convention of the 13th September shall be respected, that a congress shall be held, and that a general disarmament shall take place." No official character is attached to the pamphlet in question. SEIZURE OF INSURRECTIONARY PAPERS IN ROME. ROME, Nov. 14. The insurrectionary committee of action has been discovered, three members of the committee having given information to the police for the sum of 45,000 Roman crowns. The police have in con sequence made several domiciliary visits, and have seized papers containing full details of the ramifi cations of the committee, together with a lint of the contributors. These documents also show that a revolt was to have commenced within the capital as soon as Garibaldi should appear under the walls. The Pope proposes to distribute to the French and Pontifical troops engaged at the battle of Mentana a commemorative medal, similar to that bestowed after Castelfidardo. AUSTRIA. VIENNA. Nov. 14. In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Reichsrath Baron von Beust delivered the closing speech of the general discussion on the Delega tions Bill. He said that he did not regard the bill as the ideal of constitutionalism. One must wait, however, to see if the disadvantageous results which had been so greatly exaggerated would really follow. Baron von Beust hoped that the delegates would be as messengers of peace to the empire. He then proceeded to rebut the accusa tions which had been brought against the government, and iu conclusion he declared, amidst the applause of the house, that all the laws which had reference to the compromise arrived at between Austria and Hungary, and also those referring to the constitu tion, would be submitted together to the Emperor for his sanction. Upon this the motion for an adjournment was rejected by'a large majority, and the special debate having etsmossesd, paragraphs 1 sad 2 ware adopted, with only four dissentient votes. BAVARIA. MUNICH, Nov. 14. At the sitting of the Bavarian Diet to-day the Chamber of Deputies passed the clauses in the Trades Regulation Bill granting liberty to embark in trade without distinction of sex, abolishing exclusive rights, and placing foreigners and native born subjects upon an equal footing in carrying on any calling.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PASSINOZRB AND GUARDS.—It is said that government is about to impose an order upon the railway companies for the adoption of an uniform system of intercommunication between passengers and guards, and between guards and drivers of trams in motion. The Duke of Richmond, President of the Board of Trade, is to meet the engineers (telegraphic and gene ral), and the managers of the principal railway companies, for conference on the subject, on the 22nd instant. Colonel Yolland has been inspecting some of the systems of communication now in operation, and on Monday last spent several hours at the Charing-cross station, in an examination of the apparatus and its working, as applied by Mr. Walker to the South Eastern trains ; and arranged further to take an early opportunity of testing the system as a traveller. A fear has been expressed that a disadvan tage attaching to • means of communication would be that ignorant and mischievous persons would tamper with the apparatus, and endanger the safety of trains, and also retard their progress. It would seem from actual expe rience that the adoption of the communication serves ins. portant uses, and that there is little likelihood that it will be abused. On a line where the communication has been in use in certain trains for shout 18 months, the apparatus has only been put in operation on four occasions. In one instance a gentleman subject to fits was travelling alone in a first class compartment, and resorted to the communication on feeling the premonitory symptoms of • coming fit. The train was stopped and he was removed without serious detention. In another case the Poet-offioe employai in the mail van discovered that • mistake had been made about the begs. They sig nalled the driver, and the train was stopped. The bags oontaining the letters they should have been sorting were found in the guard's van, and were at once transferred. In another instance • carriage ran off the rails. It was felt instantly by all the passengers that there was some thing wrong, as was known also, of course, to the driver and guard. The communication was resorted to in every compartment, and the alarm discs sprang out simul taneously along the whole train. These were perfectly legitimate uses of the apparatus, and only the fourth was culpable, that of a traveller who wished to satisfy himself " whether it would act." With a degree of leniency, that will prove mischievous probably if repeated, this offender was allowed to escape with a letter of caution. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15. 1867. ITALY.

The Liberti, with much apropos, republishes the famous letter of M. Fould to the Emperor, dated Tarbes, September 29, 1861, which was publicly and officially approved of by the Emperor at a privy council held at the Tuileries, on November 12, 1861. In that letter M. Fould called for an entire change of system. He recorded as a lament able fact that between 1851 and 1866 the public debt had been increased by nearly three milliards, and he especially condemned a then recent loan of 132 milliards by trentenary obligations. For the " system " which, on M. Fould's representation, the Emperor said he would renounce thenceforth, M. Magne, who had for several years been Finance Minister, was in a high degree responsible. M. Fould is dead, his economical system was never observed, not even under his own administration ; money--much money—is now wanting, a largo loan is to be certainly raised, and M. Magne, after seven years' disgrace, conies in again. Strange as it may appear, it is positively stated that when, on Nov. 12, the Moniteur published the sati.sfeeit to Italy, which has been so much remarked, it did not know of Menabrea'scircular, dated Nov. 9. The relations between France and Italy are now said to be as bad again as they were when the Marquis de Moustier sent his scolding despatch to Florence. It is noticed that the evening Moniteur yesterday spoke of satisfaction with Italy "if " the court of Florence should " persevere " in its good con duct, and talked of withdrawing the French army only when order should be " entirely" restored. The Preue says to-night that armaments "con tinue " at Toulon. It is reported from Florence that General Menabrea, unable to face parliament, is about to dissolve it. The arrests which I alluded to yesterday as 18 in number are said by the Druit to be only 8. The prisoners, all now in Masao, are accused of belonging to a secret society. Dr. Accollas, who was released, was arrested again while walking on the Boulevards with his wife. The accused were all present at the Peace Congress of Geneva, and are "suspected " on that account. There is scarcely any change at the Bourse, which continues dull. THE PROSECLITION OF GARIBALIDL—A Paris letter in the Inrkpendaure Be* says :—" My informant in Florence again tells me that the ministry has still the intention to try Garibaldi, or rather to commence a prose cution. The ministers and jurisconsults, whose opinion the former have taken, think that the government has no need to demand the authorisation of the Chamber, as Ga ribaldi, not having taken the oaths since the last election, cannot be considered as forming part of the assembly. The preliminary proceedings will probably be commenced, in order to keep Garibaldi in prison until the agitation is appeased. But that he will be prosecuted is scarcely to be imagined. The King will prevent such a step, and 31. Rattaszi will exercise all his influence on Victor Emmanuel to have the prosecution abandoned. If a trial should take place, not Garibaldi, but M. Rattatzi, would be con demned." A Florence letter on the same subject says :—" The ministry has just summoned to Flo rence the principal judicial authorities of Perugia and Ancona. A consultation with them has been held as to whether Garibaldi should be prosecuted. This is a singu lar Ws eta the part of M. Gualterio a trial of Gari baldi would be the stirring up of that inflammable matter which has almost set Italy in flames. Has this fact been forgotten already A prosecution, besides, could not be carried on without the necessity for calling as witnesses M. Rattan:3, other high functionaries, and perhaps the king himself. Moreover, with Garibaldi would have to be included his principal confederates, who are all deputies or influential persons, and who might exclaim, 'We have for accomplices all the nation.' I therefore believe that all idea of a prosecution will be abandoned. Garibaldi will be kept • prisoner some days longer as a measure of precaution, and will then be set at liberty. The Opinion publishes an article in that sense, which is evidently in tended to test the state of public feeling. This journal is generally used for such purposes." THE LATE M.ADARIE DE FLAHAULT.—We have to announce the death of a lady who has for nearly 60 years borne a very prominent part in the highest society of Europe. Miss Mercer Epl hinstone, daughter of Admiral Lord Keith, who for a large period of the war with France commanded in the Mediterranean, was born in 1788, and the few of her contemporaries who still survive will re. member her as the friend and confidante of the Princess Charlotte of Wales. Nothing would have seemed more im probable than that the daughter of a British Admiral who had passed the whole of hie distinguished career in active service against the French should have allied herself with a French officer equally distinguished in the service of France, and who had attained the high honour of being attached as aide-de-camp to the person of the Emperor Napoleon during the Moscow and Waterloo cam paigns. Compelled to leave. France, however, upon the restoration of the Bourbons M. de Flahault, who had been educated in England, took refuge in this country, and in 1817 he married the lady who died on Tuesday last, in Paris. at his official residence as Chancellor of the Legion of Honour. As Madame de Flahault, she was anibaaaa dress of France under the Orleans dynasty at BOWS and at Vienna. and for a short time fi lled the same position in England while M. de Flahault most appropriately repre sented the Second Empire at the court of St. James'a. Madame de Flahault has left two daughters, the Dowager Marchioness of Lansdowne and Mdlle. de Flahault. Lady Lansdowne succeeds to the Barony of Edirne, which, with that of Keith, Madame de Flahault held in her own right. THE IRISH CHURCH. —The Freeman's Journal of yesterday contains the seventh report of its special churl& oosomiestoners. It refers (says our contetupo rn ry in a summary of its contents' to . th; dioceses of Cork, Cloyne, and Rosa, and deals principally with the new atti tude which the catholies have assumed since a portion of their fetters have been struck off. It shows that even in what was the great southern fortress of protestants—Ban don—the catholic* are now in a majority of three to one. It shows as the result of the analysis of the important dioceses of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross, that every protestant • family in that vast district costs the public nearly 8/. a year for their spiritual instruction. It shows that, on an average, about 201. ..year is paid for church requisites" for each of the benefices in these dio cese. It show. that, on an average of the last six year., 4,0001. a year has been paid by the public for the supply of fuel, bread, and wine, and other church necessities for the protestants of the district. It shows that in the largest and most wealthy of the three dioceses, the cost per family, for every family in 47 out of the 80 benefices, amounts to no less a sum than 1311.95. 11 id. per family. RECENT OFFICIAL REPORTS ON THE SICK IN COUNTY Wolumorata.—The Poor-law Board is under stood to be in possession of a considerable amount of re cent information concerning the actual state of the county workhouse infirmaries, gathered by an officer of their own, Dr. Edward Smith, in the course of a series of inquiries which he has been instructed to make on this subject during the last nine months. If we are correctly informed, these reports, which include six selected houses in each oonntry district, disclose a state of things which, if less vividly painted sad less freely commented on than have been Clifton and Bedminster, Cheltenham, Golcar, and Preston, by ourselves, and Farnham by our contemporary are, in matters of fact, not less condemnatory. It is in tended to move for the production of these papers at an early date in the House of Commons. No doubt they will be at once produced.—British Medical Journal. A CANADIAN JIIIVIIM.A.a.—The Hamilton (C. W.) Times says that at the Stratford Assizes a few days since, an important case was on trial, which occupied the atten- tion of the court with the hearing of the prosecution until evening. The jury was then dismissed, with the lanai cautions, until the following morning, when the defence was to have been proceeded with ; but on the jury being recalled, one of the number was found to be absent. Diligent inquiry was made for the delinquent, and it was finally ascertained at the hotel where he had sojourned that he had taken hie departure in the morning for home , to be present at an agricultural fair, leaving word that his mind was already satisfied conoerning the ease in question, and that he should return in the evening after the evidence for the defence had been received, in time to join the re mainder of the jury in rendering a verdict. The delinquent on the next day made his appearance in court, when his lordship, Judge Draper, pronouncing the conduct of the juryman the most Mipant contempt of court that had ever come wider his observation, imposed upon him a fine of 100 dole. CITWOPENCE THE FERNDALE COLLIERY EXPLOSION. BIEEMILI ; i1 TYDVIL, WanzaADAT.. On Tuesday night two more bodies were brought up, making • total of nearly 100. Then most unfortu nately, the workings became very foul, ren dering it hazar dous in the highest degree to continue the task of expire' ration ; and the belief of the engineers late on Tuesday night, after our last despatch, was that no bodies could be recovered during the next 24 bolus. During the bringing up of the dead on Tuesday an ind• dent occurred which is without parallel. A fireman named John Richards was amongst the dead. Be was a better clad, better conducted man than the majority, and amongst other things had a good watch, which was found in his pocket and sent up to the top of the pit with the body. Between the top of the pit and the house the watch was stolen. This will show how the mind becomes habituated to the most horrible scenes. Strange tales are afloat as to the cause of the accident, and it is necessary these should be recorded, so that the coroner may investigate. This, however, is certain, that the workings were so hot on Friday morning that two young men went out, and meeting the manager, told him they really could not stay below. We a/so learn from good authority that on assuming the management of the pit Williams economised in • way to • cause much prejudice, and led some of the colliers to leave. When ho first went there, three years ago, a man had the duty of clearing the airways, and for this he had . 4s. 6d. • day, with the permission to take the coal which fell in his way as his perquisite. Williams stopped him from taking this, the man threw up his work, and it is reported that ever since no man was placed in this important port Another allegation against the manager is that on a Bremen complaining to him of the bad state of the air he pooh poobed him, paid him oft, and discharged him. We have heard of similar oases, and know that viewers as • rule look with great ilidavouron any firemen who complain of the workings, attributing it to cowardice, or at all events timidity. On Wednesday seven of the bodies were brought to Merthyr, forming a procession that was fully a quarter of an hour in passing • given spot. The shops were partially dosed, the streets lined with spectators, and all along the route were sympathising crowds ; but the scene at the rear of the waits was the moat harrowing we have ever wit nessed. The grief was loud and pensions**, and few looked on without feeling acutely ;or the mourners' great and unmistakable sorrow. . —The Tan THIRD MMUS ton R Liberal Ammoniating at Rieseingbem has already commenced • taking Apnea amen= to secure the election of a third member is that interest whenever the election takes place. Meetings are being held in the • various wards. One was held on Wednesday, over which Mr. Councillor Biagi pre sided. The following resolution was panted : That this meeting is of opinion that the rating and minority clauses of the government Reform Bill render it neeeeirry for all classes of liberals of Birmingham to be united and earnest, in order to return three liberrd ineteben to the House of Commons at the nevi general election." Preparatory to the banquet to Mr. E. DLiall and the subsequent demonstration of his friends in St. George's-hill, at Bradford, this evening, dinners of friends took place in all the wards on Wednesday evening and last evening. In many of the wands there were no fewer than (oar dinners at .carious inns, and in some cues, where a sufficiently large room could be obtained, the company consisted of several hundred pereons. On Wed nenUthere y evening were dinners in two wards the North and South ; Mr. S. Sutcliffe presiding over the first, . and Mr. Alderman Rawson at the second. At the dinner in the South ward, which took place at the Victoria Hotel, Mr. Mien, shortly after arriving in the town, made an unexpected appearance after dinner, and addressed the company. He was received with loud and enthusiastic cheering. Mn. LAING, M.P. ON PUBLIC AVFAIRS. —Mr. Laing, M.P., has addressed a letter to his constituents on a few of the loading questions of domestic politics and in the first place he addresses them on the subject of the English Reform Bill. With that bill, as a whole, he heartily agrees, and even as regards the scheme of redistri bution, which he does not consider complete, he conceives Abakelletioluon4 it neAdemonajalbstwproper one for the representation of Scotland, may afford a resting place for a considerable time. Still the Reform Bill, he says, is a great experiment. The greet direction in which the energy of the new parliament will have to be turned is to Ire. land, and it is essential that the Irish church establish ment should be done away with, and the revenues applied to purposes in which the whole nation can participate. As regards the Scotch Reform Bill, he sees nu serious objection to the proposal to increase the num ber of the house, and he thinks tbst beyond question ten additional Scotch members ought to be granted. From any considerable section of the liberal µu cy he does not anticipate opposition to those claims of Scotland ; but, if it be attempted, it rests entirely with the Scotch mem bers to defeat it. MR. COWPER, M.P., AND THE LABOUR/NO CLASSES.—The Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., presided on Wednesday at the annual meeting of the Homes= La bourers' Encouragement Association—a post filled for many years by Lord Palmerston; and in proposing success to the association, expressed his belief that one of the good effects of these associations arose front the practical sympathy which they were the means of showing the agri cultural claws their employe= and others took in them. The gradual progress of that class rendered it more and more the duty as well as the interest of other classes to bring the best influences to bear upon them. Although he believed that they had kept in progress with other classes, there was yet a good deal to be done in bringiug civilising and humanising influences to bear upon them. especially with a view of removing a suspicion often found prevailing, that what others did for them was based more or. selfishness than on a desire really to benefit them. One of the greatest dangers to be feared in regard to the future was that the working classes should think it necessary to act together as a class, and to fancy that their interests were opposed to that of others, whilst what was of the utmost importance they should see was that in the present state of the world, and of this country in particuLir, the interests of classes were identical, and each had a pe rsonal advantage in the prosperity of the others. THE ROMSEY MEMORIAL TO LORD PALMER srom.—The design for the memorial window in Romney Abbey Church to the late Lord Palmerston was shown to such of the subscribers as were present at the annual dinner of the Homey Laboureis' t ncouragement Associa tion on Wednesday. It was prepared by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, and comprises three principal groups in each of the triplet lights of the large west window of the nave. Those in the central light are the "Sermon on the Mount" " The Judgment of Solomon," and ~L iberating the Prisoners ;" those in the dexter Lyht , " The Tribute Money," " Daniel es a Ruler," and the " Pursuits of Peace;" and those in the sinister " Feeding Five Thousand Men." "Joseph distributing Wheat," and "11 - sr." The estimated cost is 1,200 7 ., of which 800 f. is now subscribed, in addition to the amount of which the Hon. \V. Cowper has taken charge, and intends to supplement sufficiently to obtain, in pursuance of a general wish expressed in the neighbourhood, a statue of the noble lord erected in the market piece, the commission for executing which he has given to Mr. Noble. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF ENC LAND.

A CLUB AND GYMNASIUM. —lt is proposed to convert the Colosseum, Regent's-park, into a club for young wen engaged in professional and commercial pur suits ; and a committee, of which the Rev. John llodm of St. Thomas's, Charterhouse, is chairman, lass formed to carry out that object. We heartily applaud one portion of the scheme—the formation of a large gym nasium in which young men employ d in sedentary work can exercise muscle anal limb. Tile popularity and les. oose of the celebrated gymnasium at Liverpool, and of the German gymnasium of London, should encourage the corn. mittee to persevere in their good week.—Brifiat Afedical Journal.
