Ou Sept. 30 Bon Mara's uncle, at the head of 1,500 men, as General Jolivet, and was repulsed, but the French had a loss of 86 men (killed) is the engage ment. Other affairs took place on Sept. 30 and Oct. 2 between General Lacroix and the Boa bads tribes, the result of which is not stated in detail, but the Arabs were beaten. Another general, Deligny, was commencing operations os Oct. 2. News has arrived of the settlement of the differ ence between France and Morocco. Baron Aym6 d'Aquin, the French minister at Tangiers, has been I informed by the Morocco government that orders have been given to the custom-house at Tangiers to pay bun the sum of 125,000 fr., which France claims as an indemnity for the crime of which a French subject was lately the victim at Tetuan. The Morocco government has at the _Jame time resorted to active measures for finding out and bringing to justice the authors of the out rage. Moreover, the French minister has been officially informed that Achach Pacha, governor of Tetuan, who was guilty of connivance with the as sassins, has been superseded, and is now a prisoner in irons. The new Pacha of Tetuan is Moham med-ben-Manaour, the former cadi of Mehdiu. The Sultan of Morocco is shortly expected at Ra bat, the revolted tribes having demanded Oman— i.e., pardon. The Talisman frigate is waiting at Tangiers to convey Baron Aym6 d'Aquin to Rabat as soon as the news of the arrival there of Sultan Sidi Mohammed shall be reoeived. The nomination of M. Benedetti to be French Ambassador at Berlin is regarded as a further step in the new policy inaugurated by the convention of September 15. This diplomatist, one of the most active and able in the French service, was put aside two years ago because he bad committed himself too strongly to the hostile views of MM. Thouvenel and Lavalette towards the temporal power. He has been ever since out of employ ment. It is now conjectured, with considerable plausibility, that his mission to Berlin is to obtain the approbation of Prussia to the convention, and on that theme to break up any incipient alliance between Austria and Pruaaia. It was, perhaps, with the design of cultivating Prussia that the Empress was instructed to allow Count de Goltz to accompany her from Baden to Paris—a fact which occasioned much surprise, and was at first not believed. The clerical journals now represent that the Pope, while firmly refusing to rally to the convention, will adopt a dilatory system, and wait as long as possible to see what may turn up. As to the French scheme of giving him an op portunity to recruit an army of mer cenaries, the Monde says unctuously that the Pope asks for no soldiers, but that any of his children who may volunteer to serve him will be treated with paternal love. He does not therefore refuse to augment his army. The papal loan is in a bad way, and advantage will be taken of the pre sent crisis to stimulate the faithful to subscribe to it. A fact which more than anything else discou rages the partisans of the temporal power is, that the convention of September 15 is nothing else than a revival of an old scheme of Cavour's, who never expected either to get Rome by force or to , have it handed directly to Italy by the French. All he wanted was that the French should go away, and he was ready to give the very guarantees against any attack on the Pope from " without" , which are now contained in the convention. ' M. de Persigny's last letter, about liberty, autho rity, centralisation, and decentralisation, is the least successful of any he has written. He has had great difficulty in getting it inserted in the French papers. The Paya drily said that it could not find room for it, and the Constitutionnel publishes only this morning an effusion which appeared in the Patrie so long ago as Thursday last. This indif ference to his compositions is a great let down for the imperial favourite, who was once so powerful. Let him, however, only get in office again, and the press will return to its obsequiousness. All the musical critics speak of the new opera Roland d Roncevan.r, as the greatest success that the theatre in the Rue Lepelletier has had for many years. The author, M. Mermet, was but yester day almost unknown. Now he is a hero. His first work, the Roi David, was damned fifteen years ago. He has brought out nothing since and Boland, which, after three or four perform ances, floats high on the tide of public favour, was rejected by very many managers. PARIS, SATURDAY ECZNINO. I was present to-day at the inauguration of a new race course at Porchefontaine, within half • mile of Versailles. The ground has been taken by a company called the " International Race Course Society (Limited)," and the capital has, I believe, been mainly subscribed in England. There is no rea eon why the speculation should not succeed if well managed, for the taste for horse racing has of late spread rapidly in France. The Porchefontaine course is pleasantly enough situated , though less picturesque than that of Vincennes or Longchamps. From the tops of the towers of the grand stand which has been erected there is a splendid view of Versailles on one side, and of the Virofloy woods on the other, but the spectator on level ground does not see far, and has but an imperfect view of the course. Every thing to-day was too new, including the course itself, which haying been freshly deprived of the natural sod, is in this dry season dusty and hard. Grass will be laid down for another year. A handsome tribune Las been constructed for the Emperor's use, but he did not occupy it to-day. As usual, where a joint English and French committeeact together for the first time, there was a good deal of mismanagement. The thing bad not been sufficiently advertised in Paris, and the attendance was consequently thin. Nevertheless, there was a fair sprinkling of the sporting world, including Isabelle, the Jockey Club flower girl. Although the races were said to be international there were no horses from England—a fact which I heard a member of the committee account for by the observation that New market races are next week. The prizes were not large, and no tirst-rate horses competed for them. The Duke de Nlorny's and Counti F. de La,graoge's stables took the prominent part in the day's sport. There were five events—the first, a selling race, entitled Prix de Pont Colbert, 1,000 francs, was won by Count de Lagrange's Belle Ferronihre, beating the Duke de Morny's Dinorah, who was the favourite. The latter lost in consequence of a bandage round one of her fore legs which became untwisted, and very nearly threw Lowdown. N 0.2, was a handicap of 2,000 f., for which Count Lagrange's Benjamin beat Duke de Morny's Astaroth. For the third, the Prix de Virollay, 3,000 f., for which there were • good many entries, five horses only started. The Duke de Morny's Sauvage won, making a capital rade with Benjamin, who came in Dearly neck and neck. The fourth, and principal prize, 4,000 f., 2 miles distance, had only two com petitors, and was won easily by Mr. Thomas Carter's mare Nobility, against one of Count Lagrange's homes. A hurdle-race, which con cluded the day's amusement, was a poor affair. Only two horses started, and as one bolted at the third leap the other came in at leisure. The second of these races will come off on November 1, and if, as the committee hopes, the railway company will run trains to stop close to the course, half way between Viroilay and Versailles, there will no doubt be a much better attendance than to-clay.

With regard to Mr. Disraeli's speech hiving a tendency to depress the market, I may in self justification say that it was introduced more as fee than as grave argument, as I did not seriously believe that any words of his would produce each an effect.

For two days the wounded man lay between life and death, but no Saturday he took a fasonnible turn, and recovered his meson, when he stated that he should be in a position to identify one, at least, of his assailants, if brought before him.

Ocr. B.—Achninces on menet, 1,193; ditto by slam Wine, 3,108 ; total, 4,301. The boisterous gusts which Mr. dArndyce, of "Bleak House," hated, and only Professor Kings ley loves, have been raging here during the week. Whatever may be the comparative merits of a winter's wind and man's ingratitude, au autumnal one, if it does not outweigh the latter in unkind ness, is certainly more difficult to beat. Philo sophy, reading sacred and secular, or personal experience has prepared most of us for the one, but as everybody is ruefully deviating, we have no business here with the other in the present month. Blowing as it listeth, destroying comfort, reddening noses, rudely exposing aucles, and moist ening eyes, this most sturdy of Boreases and most blustering of ratters has affected all amusements and interfered with our out-dour pursuits. The bathers from a boat who, spurning the boxes upon wheels, are rowed out to sea, have perforce foregone their morning's dip—the machiura themselves have been comparatively tenantless—theft has not been a sail in sight, both fishing-boats and yachts being weatberbound in the basin at Shoreham—and full as Brighton undoubtedly is, both morning promenade and afternoon drive suffered in the early part of the week, from the unseasonable inclemency of the days. "If it were March now it would be different, but in October it's too bad," said a fair *resigner of the decrees of Nature, and her sentiment has been widely echoed by shivering mortals who, in every variety of gay attire, have been regretting and pining after warm sunshine, or, in default of that, their winter clothes. Bright and clear it has been throughout, fair and smiling to the eye, but cruel and pinion withal, as is • heartless beauty to the victims within her toils. Indoor amusements, such as shopping, novel reading, and crochet or Berlin wool-work, have progressed a pace. Pretences at the two latter occupations have been, however, despite the cold, gone through in public as well, and it is comical enough to mark how every available bit of she:ter has been dis covered and invested by the invading horde of ladies, nurse girls, and children. Not a shingly hillock, nor an old boat. nor a heap of stones, nor a bathing machine, but is treated as an alcove and protects its constituents from their common enemy, the wind. But the shops 1 Are there are any better in the world I Is there a set of tradesmen in any place of fashionable resort in Europe who exhibit choicer taste in their selection of goods, or more thoroughly understand their customers' needs 1 Such of them as have branch establishments in London seem to keep the cream of their stock here, and it is not the least curious item in Brighton life that fur articles of luxury you seem to have an equal and more convenient because more concentrated set of depots here than in the metropolis. Lounging in and out of shops without purchasing is elevated into a science. No white fibs about "calling another day," or hypothetic refer ences to some absent Mrs. Harris are necessary. Ladies and gentlemen may and do look round, ask prices, and walk out without even alluding to the possibility of becoming purchasers, and in almost every instance are smilingly welcomed as people who conform to the metope; of the place. But, happily by the Thursday afternoon the wind has lost some of its bitterness, the sun shine has fair play, the bands and itinerante have goodly audiences, and science, literature, and the town yield in attractiveness to music, wind, and stringed Ethiopians, male and female, performing birds, fancy puppies, and the shore. After fire days' imprisonment, the yachts, the dredging and fishing boats, are released from their durance, and dance over the sparkling waves towards Newhaven and Dover ; the bathing is re sumed, and the open air flirting, lounging, and goasipping are carried on under less adverse circum stances than before. Stroll along by the esplanade, and you are surrounded by familiar London faces. The lady playing with the black Newfoundland, and playfully initiating him into the arts of fetch ing and carrying, is a celebrated actress ; the quiet-looking gentleman throwing stones into the water has performed prodigies of valour, and wears the Victoria cross ; here is the most popular lady novelist of the day; there the youth ful co-respondent in one of the most notorious divorce cases of the year. The children of Judah are especially prominent. Liquid-eyed, glossy-haired, and beauteous, as well as fat, oleagi nous, and coarsely gorgeous, they constantly suggest the problems : how is it that perfectly lovely girls become such plain middle-aged women, and by what mysterious dispensation is beauty so often attended by the beast in the shape of • repul sive looking male relative or friend, who is curled and oiled like the oft-quoted Align= bull I Leda and Phryne are here, of course. Exquisitely neat sad simple hi morning attire, more elaborately but still tastefully got up for the afternoon drive, they might easily be taken for the high-born daughters of a noble house, were it not for certain subtle indications gleaming through and about the veneer of simplicity, and suggesting Pompadour playing at dairymaid, or Dubarry pastorally paying the homage of vice to virtue. Over and show, all these are the regular family types in great variety. Papas whom you have not seen since Monday turn up again to-day. Children, loving couples, ancient ladies, pretty girls and swells make up the rank and file of the procession. The fee -1 famed Jasper and his brother boatmen, in great spirits at the change of weather, tout for custom with urbane pertinacity, hoarsely whispering " A fine day for ground fishing, Miss," into the as tonished ears of young lady deep iu "The Doctor's Wife," who turns timidly away, like • modern Andromeda terrified at • sea monster. Sbylock, in straw bat and seaside suit, makes a pretty pendant to Lai; in her robe of white, or to Phryne, with lilies in her flaxen hair. Beyond him, again, stroll • newly-married couple, lady glossy icliant, self-conscious, and • little proud, gentleman rather taciturn, and full of the sheepish arrogance which is a characteristic of the bridegroom of weak mind. Such are the figures daily to beaten strolling to and fro above the shingle and on the brown-patched green. " Cockneified" is the gravest charge brought against Brighton, and as long as Cockaigne is the chosen capital of the wealth, intelligence, and refine ment of the first country in the world, its favourite sea-shore may proudly welcome the reproach. A shrewd observer recently remarking on the contrast between Scarborough and Biarritz declared the rosy happy children visible at the former place to more than compensate for the absence of the brit liaut dames, whose extravagant toilettes and fasci nating airs are so noteworthy on the French sands. To a holiday-maker fresh from sunnier climes, the healthy beauty and "thoroughness" of the Euglish girls seen here at every turn form a charmiug con trast to the sallow attrac ti onsaud coquettish graces o f the Southern belles, and should be a sufficient anodyne even for the pains and petulance due to . the biting wind.
