(mom ova owx coaasspowDzirr.) PARIS, SATURDAY Evoun. On Saturday the Mansion-house Relief Commit tee held a meeting in relation to the fund now being raised there for the relief of cholera patients, and of per sons suffering from the loss of heads of families c ltte disease, and especially young children, Sir M t Wells presiding. A sum amounting to nearly 5,0001. hod been raised at the Mansion-house, and at various banks in connexion with it, since Tuesday last, in public dona tions for these humane objects, and the money is byrkg dispensed as it is wanted, through the spoor of loc committees, in the districts of the metropolis in which the epidemic is prevalent. At the rising of the committee 7401. in all had been voted to different localities, in sums adapted to the necessities and circumstances of each, and the committee are open to entertain fresh applications. Applications were made to share in the fund by venous local bodies, viz., from Shadwell, Bromley-byaew, Spitalfields, Bethnal-green, Stratford, the neighbourhoods of the docks, St. George's-in-the East, where the epidemic prevails in varying degrees of intensity. In the coarse of the proceeding' a circular addressed by the Roman catholic Archbishop of Westminster to the catholic clergy in the poorer parts of the metropolis was read, suggesting applications without delay to the local authorities for ad mission to any committee or board which may be formed for the relief of the cholera sick, and the ma king of col lections to be added to any pueral fend. Archbishop Manning also urges the clergy under him to use their ut most influence to hasten the burial of the dead, and to prevent all " waking" or assembling at funerals of more than the number of persons who may be properly or actually required. In the event, he added,of any chil&en being left orphans by cholera their names and ages were to be sent to him. The committee entirely approved the suggestions contained in the archbishop's circular. At their rising they adjourned until Monday (this day). The following prayers, issued by the Archbishop of Can terbtuy, on the authority of the Privy Council, were read yesterday fur the first time, and will be continued until further notice, in all churches in England and Wales:— " 0 Almighty God and merciful Father, our only refuge in the time of need, we approach Thee under a deep sense of our sinfulness, and in awe of Thy judgments which are abroad in the pestilence that has now reached our shores. We desire to humble ourselves under Thy mighty hand, confessing our iniquities, which have justly provoked Thy wrath against us. We acknowledge with shame and sorrow that we have shown ourselves unthankful for Thy mercies ; we have followed our own will rather than Thy holy law, and have not in our prosperity honoured Thee as the author and giver of it all. Take from us all , we beseech Thee, hardness of heart and unbelief, all neglect of Thy ordi nances, and contempt of Thy word. Correct us, () Lord, but not in Thine anger ; and withdraw from us in Thine own good time the scourge with which Thou but visited I us.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE DEMANDS OF FRANCE. BERLIN, AuGcsr 11. Thesemi-official Nordikittsche A ilyemeine Zeitung, of this evening, publishes an article upon the inteL ligence received here yesterday by telegraph of the demands for territorial compensation addressed by France to the Prussian government, "by which," says the Nurddenteelic Zeituny, " hopes have been raised in France which must be designated as im possible of fulfilment on the part of Germany. It is difficult," continues the same journal, "to explain the motives for this absurd de mand, except by concluding that a total revolution has taken place in the policy of France. Changes in Germany are not questions of an international, but purely of a national character, conveying no menace to France, but calculated, on the contrary, to be favourable to the sphere of action of that power, as by the with drawal of Austria from the Confederation, the di.. mensions of Germany will become considerably narrowed. Franco cannot possibly look upon changes in the territorial constitution of Germany as a source of danger to her. This thought will assuredly have weight with the French people." PARIS, Aueusr 11. The Etendard of this evening says :—" We be -IMve ourselves able to affirm that the negotiations opened between France and Prussia relative to the French claim for territorial compensation are being carried on between the two cabinets in the most cordial terms." PRUSSIA AND HANOVER. BERLIN, AUGUST 11, It is asserted in well-informed circles in this city that the object of Prince Yeenburg's mission to Hanover is to inform the Queen that it must not be expected that the efforts which are being made in favour of the independence of Hanover will be attended with success. AUSTRIA AND ITALY, FLORENCE, Annum: 11. The official Gazette of to-day says :—" The nego tiations for an armistice were resumed yesterday at Common. They are protracted by the difficulty of fixing a line of demarcation for the respective forces of the two powers. Up to the present the negotiations have not been brought to a conclusion, but while they are being proceeded with the sus pension of hostilities previously agreed upon will continue to be prolonged." FLORENCE, Arars? 11, Eva:titan. An armistice between Austria and Italy was signed to-day. Their respective forces are to hold the positions which they at present occupy. All questions are reserved for discussion in the negotia tions for peace. According to intelligence from Berlin, published here, Prussia has informed the Austrian government that she will maintain the right of Italy to the possession of Venetia. FLORENCE, AUGUST 12. It has been decided by the negotiations at Comorns that the line of demarcation to be ob served during the armistice shall be the ancient boundary round the Quadrilateral to the river Po, from the Po to one kilometre beyond the valley of Ostiglia, a straight line thence to the Adige with a circle round Legnano, and lastly the river Alpone to the frontier of the Tyrol. The circle round the fortresses is fixed at seven and a half kilometres. In Friuli the line of demarcation will be the old boundary from the sea to the river Torre (with the exception of the radius encircling Palmanuova), and will follow thence the course of the Torre to Tarento. The line to the Tagliamento will be between (lemons and Osoppo, and will then follow the line of the Tagliamento to Talmezzo and the summits of Mounts Tianca, Avenis, Croatia, and Cogliano. The Italians will I have the right to use the railway in the circle round Malghera, and the navigation of the rivers and canals will be open to them. Venetians who have been compelled to emigrate into the Austrian empire will be allowed to return to Venetia. The armistice between Italy and Austria has been signed for four weeks, and will continue in force at the expiration of that term, unless notice of the contrary be given by either Power. PADUA, ArdrsT 12, Evmnsc. The commanders of the Austrian fortresses in Venetia are said to have received orders to despatch to Vienna all moveable war material in the FRANCE. PARIS, Aucusr 11.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE. - _ lam leaving in an hour, and send the latest news. I have it from a certain source that the cabinet of the Tune ries has lately opened with the cabinet of Berlin poarpar lers—or, if you will, an exchange of views—on the subject of the frontiers of the French empire, now that Prussia is considerably aggrandised. The French ambassador had an interview yesterday with M. de Bismarck which lasted till 10 at night ; and again this afternoon M. Benedetti had another long interview. It would perhaps be going too far to say that the question of the Rhine boundary is now officially propounded. But I feel myself able to say this much—that diplomatic con versation has taken place on the subject, and that Prussia shows herself little disposed to meet the wishes of Frame in regard to territorial compensation. This may perhaps L I be the reason why the King of Prussia said nothing in his speech about the Prussian annexations. This complies . Lion is, however, attenuated in a certain measure by the fact that the relations of the two governments continue to be very cordial. They both desire to cultivate friendly relationship between France and New Germany. I can not, however, hesitate to say—and what I now say is personal, and does not bind the Siede—that any French pretensions which should wound the national sentiment in Germany would make the Germans rally to a man round the standard of the King of Prussia. That is the truth, and at this crisis I think it better to tell it you in all its nakedness. Military Germany might be a danger for France, but the great German democracy about to be con stituted, with M. de Bismarck —or without him —may become our most sincere and faithful ally. Yesterday evening I took leave of M. de Bismarck, who had received me cordially at Berlin, Horzitz (near Sadowa), and Nikolsbourg. The private life of a statesman should be ,runic. I may, however, say this much, that the terrible minister, whom the Vienna papers depict with a death's scythe in his hand is in his home the most affable man in the world, and the gen tlest and kindest husband and father. His salon is • French drawing-room with a perfume of patri archal Germanism. On leaving M. de Bismarck, I said to him—" Is it peace or war that lam taking to Paris ?" His answer was—" Friendship, lasting friendship with France. I cherish the firm hope that France and Prussia will hence forth form a dualism of intelligence and progress, and I hope very soon to go again to Biarritz, which is my foun tain of youth." In the course of the evening M. de Bis marck said to me on the subject of Italy—" She de served biter luck, for she fought bravely, and her policy has been most loyal. I cannot conceive hew it was that after the battle of Custozza the Italian army recrossed the alincio and admitted itself defeated. All the reports which I have received of that battle, not from Italians, but from Prussian agents, go to show that the Italian army was not defeated, because it did not lose its ground, and did not experience sufficient loss to constitute a defeat. General de la Marmots might have called himself victo rious ; and if instead of retiring across the Mincio, he had • marched forward the next day the face of things might have been entirely changed. One can hardly suppose that such a circumstan tial report by a journalist of M. Vilbort's reputa tion can be otherwise than substantially correct, I and on this assumption it is highly interesting, Not the least important part of the dialogue is the admission that M. de Bismarck did meet with en couragement at Biarritz last year. MAILS FROM NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA.. By the steamer from the West Indies, which arrived at Southampton yesterday, we have mails, the new Panama line, from New Zealand and Australia in advance of the overland mail, which is, not due at Marseilles until the 16th inst. The advices from Melbourne are to the 16th June ; Sydney, June 16; Wellington, June 23 ; Auckland, • June 16, &c. The Panama Star and Herald gives the following as the news from Victoria : On the Ist of June the Victoria parliament was pro rogued by his excellency the officer administering the government, General Carey. The illegal expenditure of last year was covered by an appropriation act, and a bill for the reduction of postal rates had become law. Some changes in the cabinet are anticipated. It is reported that General Carey insists on the col lection of the tea and sugar bonds, and if this is the case the ministry will probably resign. The same paper says, in its impression of the 23rd July, in reference to the new line : All doubts as to the success of the newly-inaugurated steamship line between Panama and New Zealand, and the capability of the steamers to make good time, are now at an end. The first steamer of the line from Wellington, the Kaikoura, arrived at Panama on the 20th inst., having made the run in twenty-six days, being two days less ' than schedule time. So pleased were the people of New Zealand at the prospect of the opening of the new line, and such confidence had they in it, that the ship came up full of passengers, a novelty in the annals of steam boating, and it is gratifying to know that these passengers Ihave not been disappointed in their expectations of beating the Suez line by several days, and enjoying in every respect a far pleasanter trip. I To merchants in the United States the opening of this line is of great importance, as it brings them within thirty-five days of a portion of the world which could Inot hitherto be reached in double that time, and places them just the width of the Atlantic nearer the British colonies in the Pacific than Great Britain itself, a cir cumstance which Americans will be by no means slow i in turning to the best advantage. We learn from the American papers that the Great Eastern arrived in Heart's Content Bay on the morning of July 27. A correspondent of the New York Herald says : About 9 o'clock the Great Eastern came to a stand in a hundred fathoms of water, and preparations for connect ing the main and shore end cables were commenced. The big ship was at this time a mile and a quarter from Heart's I Content. The Niger lay at one side and the steamer Med way on the other side of the Great Eastern. A number of row boats put out from the stern of the big ship, and after about half-an-hour's work a large hawser wax attached to the cable. The cut was made and the cable and hawser were placed on botnl two large and the other small boats engaged in the operation, while three guns at the same moment thundered out a grand salute in honour of the event. All hands of the Great Eastern sent up a rousing cheer, and a scene of enthusiasm followed. Hats were I thrown in the air, handkerchiefs were waved, and deafen ing shouts rent the air. The Great Eastern entered Heart's Content harbour shout half-past 9 o'clock. While she was steaming through the Narrows the shores of the little village were lined with people, and scores of small boats dotted the surface of the water. The six colliers in port were decked with bunting, and every house displayed a flag in honour of the occasion. From the flag stan of the Telegraph-rouse the Stars ant floated gaily. The big ship also carried the Ame rican banner beside the Union Jack and the Atlantic Telegraph flag presented by Mr. Field on the occasion of the first cable expedition. The Great Eastern came to anchor precisely at 10 a.m., and was boarded immediately-by a great crowd of visitors, male and female. In the meanwhile the splicing fleet proceeded slowly on with the work of connecting the shore and the main cable. - - - The following congratulatory' telegrams had been published : Heart's Content, July 27, 1864.—T0 his Excellency President Johnson, Washington. D.C.—Sir,—The Atlantic cable was successfully completed this morning. I hope that it will prove a blessing to England and the United States. and increase the intercourse between our country and the eastern hemisphere.—Yours faithfully, CYRI:S W. FIELD. Washington, July 29, 1866.—T0 Cyrus W. Field, Heart's Content,—l heartily congratulate you, and trust that your enterprise may prove as successful as your efforts have been persevering. May the cable under the sea tend to promote harmony between the Republic of the West and the governments of the eastern hemisphere ! ANDREW JOHNSON. Heart's Content, July 27, 1866.—T0 Hon. W. H. Seward, Washington, D.C.—The telegraph cable has been successfully laid between Ireland and Newfoundland. I remember with gratitude your services in the Senate of the United States in the winter of 1857, and recollect with pleasure the speech yon then made in favour of the Telegraph Bill. That you may never have reason to regret what you have done to establish communication across the Atlantic is the sincere wish of your friend. —CYRUS W. FIELD. - Washington, D. C., July 29th, 1866.—Cyrus W. Field, Heart's Content.—Acknowledgements and congratulations. If the Atlantic cable had not failed in 1858, European states would not have been led in 1861 into the great error of supposing that civil war in America could wither perpetuate African slavery or divide this republic. Your great achievement constitutes, I trust, an e ff ective treaty of international neutrality and non-intervention. Wiimaw H. Etzw.m. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Tasmania, Captain Reeks, arrived at Southampton yester day, at 5.30 p.m. She brings 224 passengers, amongst whom are his Excellency E. J. Eyre, lady, and family, from Jamaica. Spoke the Shannon 30th July, the same day as leaving St. Thomas ; 7th, signalled the British barque Angla ; 11th, passed barque Titania, homeward bound. She ex perienced heavy, foggy weather during her pas sage. The dates by the Tasmania are—Porto Rico, ' July 28 • Demerara. 23 ; Tobago, 23 ; Trini dad, 24 ; Barbadoes, 26; Grenada, 24; St. Vincent, 24 ; St. Lucia, 26 ; Martinique, 27 ; Guadaloupo, 27 ; Dominique, 27; Antigua, 28; St. Thomas, 30. She brings specie to the value of 2,094,648 dole., and the following cargo-403 aerons of cochineal, 882 ditto of cocoa, 97 ditto of bark, 141 casks of coffee, 11 bales of cotton, 5 live turtle , 48 bales of indiarubber, and 174 packages of sundries. His Excellency John E. Eyre and lady were received on their arrival by Dr. Wiblin, medical superintendent of health, who conveyed them to his residence in his carriage. Previous to his de parture Mr. Eyre received an address from a depu tation of the inhabitants of Kingston, expressing their regret at his leaving the colony, and their gratification at the praise given him by the Jamaica Commission for the prompti tude and vigour in suppressing the recent insurrection. Mr. Eyre, in thanking the depu tation for the address, read a long defence of the measures adopted by him, of the execution of Gordon and the prolongation of martial law. The subscription in Jamaica for presentation to Governor Eyre amounts to 5,0001. The general news in the island is unimportant. At Trinidad the Legislative Council met on the 18th ult., and a message was read from his excellency on the subject of the Anglo-French Chinese treaty. The weather had been rather unfavourable for the shipment of the remaining produce, but had been everything the planter could desire for the growing canes. At Barbadoes the weather during the past fort night had been constantly wet. Rain had pre viously been much wanted. Cholera had disappeared at Guadaloupe. At Grenada the rainy season hadfairly set in ; the fall had been great and general throughout the island, and its effect had been very beneficial. Health good. A revolution had broken out in Bolivar. A large number of lives were lost. President Aris mendi was removed from power and imprisoned. A. Della Casts has been chosen to succeed him. The commander of the forces was among the killed. The late attempt at revolution in Gonaives, Hayti, was promptly put down by the government. In San Domingo everything was quiet. As yet, the new ]'resident has not been elected. The choice is between Generals Cabral and Pimentel. THE MISSION OF THE EMPRESS OF MEXICO. The Ind4cp - tutance Beige says : "The Empress of Mexico arrived in Paris yesterday, accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire and a numerous suite. The official journal of Mexico, in announcing her departure, confines itself to saying that her Majesty is charged with negotiations in Europe on the affairs of Mexico, and to arrange various international matters. As will be seen by our correspondence from Mexico, the real object of the journey of the Empress is to explain to the Emperor Napoleon the neces sity of not abandoning the empire he wished to establish on the other side of the Atlantic, and perhaps also to defend the conduct of her husband, Maximilian, from the accusations which may have beeii directed against him by Marshal Basaine. For a long time past the relations between these two personages have left much to be desired ; latterly, they have grown so much worse that common intercourse has become scarcely possible. Hence, also, the rumours which have been in cir culation of the recall of General Almonte, suspected of opposing in Paris the interests of his sovereign— rumours and suspicions which require confirma tion. As to the impossibility of the Emperor Maximilian maintaining himself upon his throne when the assistance of France fails him, it is indi ! cated by the letter that we publish in another column. If the Empress Charlotte adds to her communications the resolution of the Emperor Maximilian not to prolong his stay in Mexico after the departure of the last French troops, 'it will not be a vain menace, but an act dictated by the most elementary prudence. ' According to the admission of even the sincere partisans of the empire, the Juarist party, which represents at once the independence of the cowl ' try and its liberal tendencies, encouraged by the United States, displays at this moment a vigour and a unity which promise greater successes at no dis tent future, perhaps even a general rising in all the large towns of the empire immediately after the departure of the French garrisons. We have never doubted that such must be the end of this adven ture in the new world." From the correspondence of the Independence BeGje above referred to the following is an extract: _ . . I believe I am justified in stating that the mission of the Empress is to obtain from the Emperor Napoleon the recall of Marshal Bazaine, and a postponement of the evacuation of Mexico by the French troops. This post ponement is an absolute necessity. If the Emperor of the French cannot agree to it all is ove r with his work in Mexico. It is said that after having been in France and Belgium, where she will be received with all the esteem, respect, and affection that the Belgian people experience for the offspring of their first sovereign, her Majesty will return to Mexico in the month of October. I fear, alas ! that before that time she will find the empire, if not overthrown, at all events much diminished. Of what avail to disguise it The liberal party, which had deeper roots than people thought, has regained all its advantages, and is moving with a vigour in the highest degree alarming to its enemies. In another letter dated, Mexico, July 10, the correspondent of the indepoulance Beige says : " I told you in my last that the mission of the Empress is to explain to Napoleon 111. the internal situation of Mexico, and the im possibility of the present regime to maintain itself without the support of France. I may add now, that if her Majesty does not succeed in her mission, if that support is refused, the Emperor is determined to quit Mexico. lie already enter tained the idea of doing so at the time of M. Sail lard's joArney, and was only prevented then by the advice of his wife, whose disposition is energetic and tenacious ; but now the Empress herself re cognises the necessity of choosing between this alternative or depossession by the triumphant enemy." AUSTRIA AND THE PARIS EXHIBITION OF 186 . 7. —The Memorial Diplontatique says We regret to an nounce, on the authority of letters from Vienna, that the participation of Austria in the Paris Universal Eihibitiou of next years very doubtful. The principal manufactories of that empire are carried on in Bohemia and Moravia, and those provinces have been literally ravaged by the Prussian occu pation. A large number of objects intended for the Exhi bition at Parts have been carried off by the Prussians, and on the other hand, the exactions and contributions of all kinds imposed on the populations prevent the manufac turers of those districts from making any sacrifices to appear with honour in the general competition of 1807. Rather than be seen in a situation of undoubted infe riority, the Austrian manufacturers prefer to abstain from taking part in the Paris Exhibition, with the intention of reserving their efforts for that which is proposed to take place at Vienna in 1870."

Ames." The cases of cholera admitted to the London Hospital during the twenty-four hours ending yesterday forenoon, and the number of deaths, were somewhat in excess of those of Saturday. The cholera cases brought in yester day were 15 as against 10 on Saturday ; the sufferers from choleraic diarrhoea were, however, not so numerous, being but 3 instead of 7. The deaths were 12, all from cholera. The recoveries were, from cholera 8, from diarrhua 3. On Saturday the deaths from cholera were 9 from diarrheas 1. The number of patients treated for diarrhoea by the out door department were yestereley 182, on Saturday 2.12. The sufferers at present in the wards are 107. On Sunday week the number was 106. There is a satis factory difference in the severity of the cases ; of those at present nudes treatment only 77 out of the 107 aro elms of cholera, the rest suffer from choleraic diarrhoea. On the sth of August 93 out of the 106 were of the more fatal type of the epidemic. The total of the admissions during the week ending yesterday was 123 ; of the recoveries 57, of the deaths 65. The reports from the east end generally are favourable ; where the disease is not stationary a diminution in tho number of cases is observable. The panic which existed during the greater part of the past week is to a great extent allayed, owing to the preparations which are so generally apparent for dealing promptly with cases as they arise. It is a subject of remark that the Jewish inbabr tants of the east end have escaped almost unscathed durieg the outbreak. In Petticoat-lane and its immediate nergh bourhood only three or four cases of cholera have taken place, and the eases of diarrheas have hardly exceeded those of an ordinary summer. A similar exemption was observed in 1849, when the Hebrew community only lost about 1 in 2,000 as compared to 6 in the 1,000 of the general popula tion of Whitechspel, and 29 in the 1,000 of Rotherhithe. The Windsor Local Board of Health has made applica tion to the Privy Council seeking a transference of the duties invested in the guardians of the poor by the Dis eases Prevention Act in reference to taking such steps as may be considered necessary for the prevention of cholera. Several fatal cases of cholera have occurred in Myton street and Roper-street, Hull. In Lumley-seinare there have been four cases in one house, and three deaths. On Friday, the Pacific (as) arrived from Dantzie. During the voyage home two of the seamen died thrroouuggh an attack of cholera. The bodies were thrown ove rbowl. Mr. Roberts, on the arrival of the vessel, went on board, ' but there being no actual case at the time, he had no power ' to order her into anarazitine. - - - --- A public meeting, in connexion with the Pad• dington branch of the Reform League, was held on Satur day evening at the Foresters'-hall, Carlisle-street, Edg ware-road. There was • very large attendance of work ing men. The living of East Barnet, Herta, vacant by the death of the Lee. T. H. Llwin, has been offered by Lord Derby, with the approval of the Queen, to the Rev, L W. Owen, rector of Holy Trinity, Colchester. The otter is understood, however, to have been declined by Mr. Owen. BRITISH MEDICAL Assocuriow.—The council of this association at its annual meeting at Chester, on Tuesday last, awarded to Mr. Furneaux Jordan, F.R.C.S., of Birmingham, the Hastings Medal, for an Esrey en Shock after Surgical Operations and Injuries." The adjudicators were Mr. Carden, consulting surgeon to the Worcester Infirmary, Mr. Hilton ' F.R.S.,Surgeon to Guy's Hospital, London , and Mr. George ionthum, sur geon to the Manchester Royal Infirmary. THE orTRAGES UPON THE Jews tie PELSIA.—A correspondent of the Levant Derald, writing from Teheran on the 18th of June, says:—" The foreign legations at this capital have been uriog their endeavours to obtain from the Shah redress for a gross outrage lately committed by the Mahomedans of Balfouroush—a town ea the shores of the Caspian—upon the Jews of that place. During the first ten days of the month of Moharrem the Persians are mused to a state of the highest excite ment by the religious representations which occur at that time in commemoration of the martyrdom of their favourite saint, Hussein. By continuous outbursts of grief they are at times driven to such a state of frenzy that the slightest accident suffices to cause bloodshed. It was under one of these regrettable circumstances that a sickly Persian girl prevented herself on the 3rd of Moharrem (18th May) at the house of a Jew at Balfouroush fur the purpose of returning some goods which abe previously purchased. The Mahomedans assert tat during this transaction the girl was struck and mortally injured by the Jew. The Jews, on the ether hand, de clare that she was not touched, but that she had been for a long time in a precarious state of health. Shortly after her return to her house the girl died, and there upon the distracted Mahomans fell upon the unfortunate Jews, plundered their bongo', and gave them the option of either embracing Islattium or being put to death. A few of the terrified Jews manag to escape into the woods, but the rest became Mahomedans. The British minister, on learning these facts, immediately addressed strong remonstrances to th Shah's ministers, and invited his colleagues to cooperate with him. The result is not yet ascertained, but it is said the Schah has promised to cause the offenders to be severely punished, and that he has issued orders to the effect that any of the forcibly converted Jews who chose to do so were at liberty to return to their former faith. During the same period of fanatical distraction Mr. Alison, having occasion to ride into town, was accosted by a Persian near one of the city gates. When be got close to his excellency, he suddenly drew his " brans" (the large dagger of the country), and flourished it in the minister's face. Had Mr. Alison retorted at the moment the consequences might have proved very if not fatal. Bat he pendently laughed at his be:r e r a n al moved on, leaving orders with a gholam to have the man afterwards conveyed to the parish magistrate. The cul prit was accordingly seized, and the same evening sent to the Prime Minister, who abased him to be severely bastinadoed."
