MOLD CHAINS. JOl OHN BROGDENS GOLD GUARD CRAM • , IEVLI ToRITSS'S ADDRESS AT ISADTORD. 1 The adeanceel liberal party, the Daily News says, might be well content to rest a great part of their we upon Mr. Forster's persuasive and statesmanlike speech on reform. Tha hon. gentle Min unites strenuous 1 eowrictioes with • conciliatory temper and, through the prams°e of the historic sense, the perception of the continuity of the national life which mellows his polities, the very same doctrines which seam revolutionary and destructive in the member for Birmingham, assume the constitutional and (in the true, and there ' fere not the party meaning) conservative character which properly belongs to them, in Mr. Forster's presentations. Mr. Forster, though willing to accept • good reform bill flelli Lord Derby's government, evidently does not expect to get one ; and the dream that Mr. Disraeli would con clude has career with a measure which would redeem • life of barren ambition can scarcely be other than chimerical. A caner of clever blunders has given him neither influence over his principal colleagues nor the confidence of the nation, and his own tactics have made it almost impossible that he should solve the problem of reform. The Star could have wished that Mr. Forster had not been tempted by an interrogator to repeat the exceedingly weak reasoning by which he justifies the non-prosecution of Governor Eyre by the government. If one could doubt the justice and wisdom of the determination of the Jamaica committee all hesitation would be removed, when • man so alive to the horrible character of Mr. 1 Byre's proceedings talks of " the deplorable mis take of allowing WO or 300 of her Majesty's subjects to be executed without necessity, and many of them without justice," as being protected from legal punishment because " there is no ground for supposing Mr. Eyre acted from • bad motive," and because there were by accident on the Jamaica statute-book laws which justified what by every other code is murder. Where would our liberties be now if cruel and unjust government had not long ago been held by the law wicked and punishable per se I We venture to say that even by the law of Jamaica Mr, Eyre has no de fence ; but even if be had we should be none the less, but rather the more, desirous to see him judged by the law of F.aglend. 2~.

According to the Nuovo Diritto the French will give up the Castle of St. Angelo to the Pontifical engineers, and their arms and ammunition to the Pontifical government. The same journal says the French will leave Rome on the 4th of Decem ber, remaining for a time at Civita Vecchia, the Antibes legion occupying the Castle of St. Angelo. Lord Clarendon, it appears, is staying at an hotel ;n Rome. (REITTEWS TZLZOILAWIL ) FRANCE. PAZ'S, Ocr• 24. ar '~66. 1 't D ITRATION IN 1 44 ... : (MY Ova owa nirorren.) GUILDFORD, WZDNISDAT. Last night a public banquet was given at the County and Borough Hall, in this town, in honour of Mr. G. M. E. Onslow, m.r., and at the same time c an testimonial, It the shape of a handsome silver soup ture and ladle, was'preeented to Mr. H. L. Long, for his promotion of liberalism in Surrey. Between 400 and 500 sat dawn to dinner, under the presidency of Mr. D. MACDONALD. Among the geode were Admiral Erskine, M.P., Colonel Onslow, Lord Monson, the Rev. C. Onabingtou, the Rev. Mr. J. Hart, Mr. Bonham-Carter, M.P., Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., Mr. T. Pagan, Mr. Moakley, the Hon. F. M. Berkeley, M.P., Mr. J. White, M.P., Mr. Young, /1.P., Mr. Lovett, Mr. H. C. Long, Capt. Staapoole, M.P., Mr. Hughes, Mr. 3. Billing, and a number of gentlemen eon nected with the borough and county oonsplcuous for their efforts in the cause of reform. The large hall in which the banquet was held was over with banners and mottoes , old party cries, ouch as " Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform," " Civil and Reli gious Freedom," " Free Trade," " Onslow for ever, and long may he live," &a. The dinner was well served by Mr. Taylor, of the White Liou, and the wines were very good. The whole affair was very satisfactorily got up. The band of the 2r.d Royal Surrey Militia was present. After the usual loyal toasts had been given and re sponded to, the toast of the Houses of Lords and Commons was given and reepondedtto by Lord MONSOS and Mr. BON HAM-CARTER. Mr. BUXTON was next called upon to respond to the toast of the county members. The hon. gentleman on coming forward was received with loud cheers. He expressed himself rejoiced that an opportunity had been given for the capital of such an important county as Surrey to express its adhesion to those liberal principles' which for the moment were suffering defeat. The veneer- I votive,' were in the flush of victory. And yet, perhaps, even now, in the day of their triumph, the thinking men among them might feel some regret and even some shame in looking back at the events of last session. Some shame they must sorely feel in recalling the coarse, the inso lent bullying to which Mr. Gladstone was subjected by some of the less creditable members of the tory party. Now Mr. Gladstone was not only a man of genius, bat there was not in all England a man of more generous, un selfish, chivalrous character. (Hear, hear.) It was, then, s ingularly painful to witness the treatment of such • man by those so incomparably below him. But it was admir able to witness his self-command in .meeting their con spiracy to provoke him. (Cheers.) Again, they might surely feel some regret in has lug destroyed a re form bill whose main oharacterietic I was its mode ration. As • compromise agreed to by Mr. Bright and those who follow him it would have been • settlement of the reform question for many and many a year to come, and so cleared the ground for practical legislation. It would have given to the working classes that which they would, theyniust, and they should have —namely, a reasonable share of political power. (15 . Zre.) But it would have done no more. It would have enlarged and remodelled, but it would not have swamped the existing constituencies. That sensible and moderate bill had been done to death. And now they see the fulfil ment of that which had been repeatedly foretold, that if that bill with its 7r. and W. franchise were rejected, the result must be that the reform movement would take • more vehement democratic hue. (Hear.) They already see this. The demand for household, nay manhood suffrage, was making itself loudly heard, and he feared that what he was about to say might displease some who heard him—but it would be cowardly to refrain train saying how earnestly he trusted that the liberal party would not allow itself to be canted away by that demand. He felt bound to say this, for it seemed that the liberal party was now at a moat im portant crisis of its career, and unless its leaders showed great courage and firmness, and received adequate sup post among their followers, it might become involved in I hopeless impracticable schemes that might so alarm the I country as to extinguish for a long time to come I nut reform alone, but the whole programme of liberal policy. Mr. Bright told them that out of every 100 grown men only 16 have the suffrage. That is a most striking fact—but it has two aspects—on the one hand there is written on the face of it the truth, that a dispro portion so flagrant could not and must not be suffered to remain---(hear)--0n the other band it is not leas obvious that a Reform Bill which should confer the suffrage on the remaining 04 per cent., or the greater part of them, belonging to the working class, would utterly overthrow the political sway of those who now possess it, and what the result might be of a change se mighty no min could foretell. (Hear, hear.) He appealed to them, w , aild it not be true statesinanship—nay, would it not be common sense—to feel their way by degrees, and gradually extend political privileges more widely, instead of all at once making a transfer of power so sudden and so sweeping to untried men! (Hear, hear.) And on what ground were they urged to take away the talent from the existing voters! Why expressly upon the ground that they were unprofitable servants, under whose sway England has been one of the worst governed countries in the world. Was that so? He wondered how any mortal man could believe it who had ever read history, or studied the state of foreign nations. Depend upon it, notwithstanding all the abuses, the grievances, the evils that still existed, there was no land overflowing with greater blessings than our own ; there was no people richer than our people in all the means of happiness ; and this well-being was in the main due to the fact that our institutions, with all their draw backs, were among the best and the wisest that the world has seen. (Cheers.) Has not every man perfect freedom to speak, to think, to do what he will? Were not the laws equal, the administration of justice pure? Was there not a mighty stir of mind among us? Were not agriculture, trade, art, science, literature, brimful of vigorous life? And as to education, though much remained to be done, it was the fact —he spoke from memory, but he was pretty sure of it—that one-eighth of our population was at school ; • poportion scarcely, if at all excelled, in any other land. It would be folly, certainly, to be content, and fold our hands, instead of pushing forward to still better thing,—(cheers)—it would be folly not to redraw the grievances, not to sweep away the abuses that still prevail. Above all, it would be folly to reject the just and honourable demand of the working class for a fuller share of representation in the great council of the nation. (Loud cheers.) But no folly could be more transcen dent than that of suddenly changing the very baste of those institutions which have wrought such gbrious results for ourselves and for mankind. These remarks might seem hardly fitting for the occasion, but he knew that he could treat the toleration of true liberals for opinions that might be somewhat divergent from their own. He saw clearly that if there i he any timidity or reticence among them at this important , juncture, they might drift into a position painful to them- i selves,and disastrous to the true interests of old England. The next toast proposed by the CHAIRMAN was " Health and success to the member for Guildford, G. J. Onslow, Esq., the honest and tried representative of the borough. ' Long may he live to champion the principles of civil and religious liberty, of which he has ever been the earnest and unflinching advocate." The HON. MEMBER replied in a lengthened and eloquent speech, in which he showed that the nation had been in I debted to the liberals (or many yearn for its happinesa and prosperity, and that every good measure had met only with obstruction by the tones. Ilia address was i loudly cheered. The testimonial was then formally presented by Mr. I Joseph Hockley to Mr. Long, who acknowledged the emu pliment in a Imitable address. Speeches followed from Mr. White, 15. P., in return to the West proposed by Mr. Fernandez of " Success to re form, increased economy in the public expenditure, and the adoption of enlightened principles of taxation ;" from Mr. H. Berkeley, who responded to the drinking his I health as the great apostle of the ballot, the only means of stppressing bribery and intimidation, and securing free. doe and purity of election ; and by Captain Stecpoole, I M.l'.. and Mr. Young, M.P. The speaking commenced about 6 o'clock, and lasted till close upon 12 at night. Yesterday the Archbishop of York laid the foundation stone of the new parochial schools for Don caster, and the occasion was marked by mush public ceremony. The schools are to mot about 5,0001., nearly the whole of which has already been subscribed, the vicar (the Rev. Dr. Vaughan) having himself given 1,0001. Ths corporation have presented the site, and the Mayer, who le a member of the Society of Friends, at the conclusion of the ceremony. entertained the archbishop, the vicar, the corporation, and the principal inhabitants at luncheon, in honour of the event.

William , Charles Haddon, 58, a verKreapcmcbwaid, Wileallaried with feloniously embezzling the seM2 stuns of 2771., 2151. 1.6 a., and 1011„ the moneys of yd s Jame Russell sod Sons.

Lewis conducted the prep, elation ; Mr. Gifford, Q.C., was specially retained with it,, Streight for the defence. The circumstanees of this cam will be fresh in the err collection of the public, so they have been given very eently;end fully in the Mansion-house police report. Tly prosecutor of the indiennene was Mr. Ruseellorbo merino an extensive business as an iron tube manufacturer at Weg. ' nesbury, in Staffordshire, and the prisoner had the maw meet of the London branch of his business, and aceepid • warehouse in Upper Ground-street, Blackfrina ' 1 business transactions cl she prisoner were very so w sive, and in the course of them he received very large nom of limey, and his duty was to make the necessary dishnue. meets on amount of the fora and pay in the neraeisdee the bankers to the account of the prosecutors, and MOM* • to thearrangement between the parties the prieenershuil have every week transmitted a cash account, stating r adionnte he bad received, the suns he had expended, the balance paid in to the credit of the proseatten, in addition to this be was directed to transmit •cm terly statement of • similar character to the eecutora. This continued for a considerable time, in 1864 the prisoner seemed to have disocaMmted quarterly account, sad upon his being appBsl to upon the subject, be made an excuse that he s. so much to attend to, that be had no time to maks the quarterly amount ; and so great was the mildew placed in him that his explanation was deemed snacks*, and no further remonstrance was made. In this way it was alleged that the prisoner had sea mewed embezzling his employers' money, the mode by which it was suggested that _ had accomplished him object was by keeping back mhos large sums that he ought to have paid in to the meth of Mr. Rummell, and paying them into his own private cement, 9 4 the London end Provincial Bank, and the AMMO' Beak. 1 1 At length suspicion seemed to have been aroused, and the prosecutor sent his accountant to investigate the prismer's accounts, and he at once discovered defalcations to thr amount of 3,0001., and made a statement to that diet the prisoner, who shortly afterwards weut away from bi place of business, and wu apprehended in the mushy upon a warrant that had been obtained against him. In the course of the amesexamination of the mountain Mr. Guy, it was elicited that at the time he rook the dimovery of the condition of the accounts, the prima said that it had arisen through his having tamed large sums of money to a person named &Ow and that what had been done was with the satins* the prosecutor, and from admissions made by Mr Rana, in arose-examination, and letters that were put in, writs by him, there appeared to be strong grounds for belie hag that this was really the case. Mr. Metcalfe upon that said he did not think then any chance of earrying the prosecution to a convictioa,,, he should therefore withdraw from °Eerie( any Earth, evidence. A verdict of Nut Guilty was accordingly taken upon id the charges. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF wouromm. James Middleton, 4d, labourer, was charged with fele nioualy wounding Elizabeth Peterson with intent to dots grievous bodily harm. Mr. Daly prosecuted. The prosecutrix was a widow, between 30 soda) yens of age, and the prisoner, who, it was stated, was a amid man, seemed to have been desirous to be on terms of in 4 mecy with her, hut she seemed to have objected ten. Oa the evening of September 9 the presecutrix wet to church with her daughter, and the prisoner hared her, and socompanied her to her residence in linurnrie• street, Poplar. When they got into the room the O men sent the child out of the room, and he then caked the pre secutrix whether she would have him or not. She made let some reply, and he immediately seized her sad threw her down and cut her throat, bat abe us waged to get away from him and &bribed beat sistanoe, and the prisoner was taken into vaster before he was secured he succeeded in mit* has owl throat, and he was covered with blood. He then said, " It is religion, love, and jealousy, and going to thate.herds that hes been the cause of all this,' and it agreed that although he was excited he was perfectly sober, sad seemed to know what he was about at the time the agog , rence took place. The weapon that appeared to heaths made use of was a small penknife. The prisoner said that a sudden frenzy came over kin, , and he did not know what he was about when he ear witted the act.

The ominous threats in Holland of a coup Waal, and or a modification of the electoral law, induce the Taus to inquire into the causes of the disturbance, and to com municate the result to its readers. The nature of the dispute with Prussia concerning Luxembourg hoe been already described in the Express. That relating to Java is lees known. It is in brief a struggle between the sup porters and the opponents of slavery. After the abolition of negro slavery in the Dutch West Indies in 1862-3 the liberals wished to proceed to a similar measure in behalf of their Eastern possessions. A bill fur the abolition of the &Mem et forok labour in these colonies was brought in last year by the Dutch parliament, but was rejected. Yore lately the government filled the measure of popular discontent by the appointment to the office of Governor-General of the East Indian possessions, the highest office of the Crown's gift, of a man formerly well known for his leaning to the principles of free trade and free labour, but who had abandoned his principles and ratted from his party. A vote of censure was passed in both Houses against the ministers who had advised the nomination of the obnoxious Governor. The King re torted by the dissolution of the Chamber, and Holland is now in all the throes of a general election. In the event of a new vote of want of confidence, the ministers are said to contemplate a resort to exceptional measures equivalent to a violation of the charter of 1848. The Times observes that the question of slavery, even under the moat mitigated form, is one with which the present will bear no tampering. The mischief which a violent abolition wrought in our West Indies and in the Southern States of the American Union might be even more grievously felt in the Netherlands' colonies, but hitherto no consideration of prudence has ever bad power to stem the tide of passion in this delicate matter ; and it is not quite certain that even the proverbial Dutch phlegm will be able to keep its newly-awakened enthu siasm within rational limits. THE letters from Venice which describe the excited feelings of tho people on entering into the possession of their long-deferred liberty must awaken a generous sympathy in all English readers, but their full effect is only felt by those who can remember the many bitter struggles through which the Venetians, and, in various de grees, the inhabitants of all the provinces of Italy, have passed to freedom, and who have in some sort suffered with them. Correspondents tell us that at Venice, while the young men shouted last Friday as the banner of Italy was raised on the old flag-staffs of the Venetian republic, the old men wept. This is human nature. To those who have been long disciplined in the school of life memory at such times heightens present joy, by contrasting it with the hopes that have been blasted, and the efforts which have so often seemed vain, and perhaps recalls the image of some whose noble hearts have been broken in a mighty conflict with evil. We too, who aro but spectators of the joy of Italy, can recollect some moments of sharp experience, as we have followed the fortunes of the Italian people and sorrowed over their many reverses. On such an occasion as thin, however, we prefer to measure the recent progress of Italy, not by the sanguine I hopes of professed friends, but by the analogies of \ political history. Thus regarded, it must be acknowledged that the transformation of that country from a number of isolated States to a powerful and consolidated kingdom has been effected with a rapidity which is truly mar- I vellous. Only twenty years ago the emanci pation and independence of Italy, not to speak of unity, were regarded by most of the statesmen of Europe as the wildest of dreams. With one exteption the Princes of Italy were members of a compact league against the people, formed under the presidency of the Austrian EM PEROR, and itseemed chimerical to suppose that that mighty tutelary power could be overthrown and removed. How much has the House of Museum; learnt since the Archduke RAINER, himself a na tive of Milan, could write, on hearing of resistance to the Imperial troops, " If anything has happened " there, I hope at least five hundred Milanese " have been killed on the spot." We do not recall these unpleasant words to reproach the I unfortunate Government of Austria, which has long been dissatisfied with its functions in Italy, but to mark the immense moral interval which separates us from the character of a not distant time. Tho expulsion of RADESZILY, with his sixteen thousand well-equipped and well disciplined troop, from Milan, was the providen tial commentary upon these wicked words, and the earnest of a noble spirit which was to infuse new . life into the whole Italian nation, to win the admi ration of Europe, and at length to triumph over every obstacle to national unity and independence.

Replying to the letter of a correspondent, the Daily News states in a general manner what it conceives to be the relation of liberal principles to the proposed regulation of the practice of the ex treme ritualistic party by law. When religion is regarded by a government as a matter to bo left to individual convictions, and religious societies are formed by the free association of their members, the duty of liberals is simply that of requiring that the law shall s ocure to individuals and societies the greatest amount of freedom consistent with the acknowledged interests of the whole community. But the office of liberalism is alto gether different when it has to deal with an institution of religion regulated even in its minutest concerns by the law of the land. Liberty is the incident and not the aim of an institution, which must be judged alone by its aptitude to render a particular service. Accepting the church of England as an institution at once national and historical, having religion for its end, the very least that liberalism can demand is that its character shall not be changed to the detriment of human intelligence, and of individual and social liberty. But this is what the ritualists are effecting. It is a fact that in some of our churches the words of the service are purposely uttered unintelligibly ; and avowedly ritualism is prac. tried, not for its own sake, but for the sake of a saver. dotal theory destructive of individual Christian liberty. The claim which music, and incense, and flowers, and altar lights, and chancel ornaments are all designed to exalt and glorify is the claim of men like ourselves to come into the place of God. To believe them, the Divine Being is et their beck and call ; they have only to ask and to have ; they can even create the Divinity by some mysterious power. Until these statements are clearly made out it would be unpardonable to allow them to be asserted with the authority of officers of a national institution which supplies them with no warrant for the claims they now put forward. If they choose to dispute the latter point it is one that ought to be capable of decision, and those who ask that it sh►ll be brought to an issue ought not to be told that they wish to crush freedom of opinion.

THE CANOE CLUB.—On Saturday last the mem bers of the Canoe Club held a meeting on board the plea sore-barge at Bitten. Thirty members were elected. rules adopted, and officers elected for the year. After dinner Kane of the canoeists spent a pleasant evening in listening to accounts of the various summer journies, the most notable of which were those of the captain (to Norway end Sweden) and the mate (through the lochs of Scotland). Several canoe casualties have occurred since the formation of the club in July last. One gentleman has been pulled ashore by peasant women in Scotland, and one has been spa., over a weir in the Severn, completely wrecking his canoe, and going within a shade of getting drowned. Con sidering these mishaps, the recital of canoe adventures roust have proved highly interesting to the inetubers of this new aquatic fraternity. A race meeting will be held early in the spring, when some strange canoe capers may be expected. MR. W. E.

Prussia and the North of Germany can exist without us, and would then perhaps even occupy a stronger position for de fence." (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) AMERICA. ALLEGED IMPORTANT STEP OF PRESI DENT JOHNSON. (Per the Nova Sootisn.) NEW YORK, Ocr. 11. The Philadelphia Ledger contains the following : "The President has just sent in to the Attorney- General the following questions, and requested that a response to them be returned in writing : " First. Is the present Congress, composed of members from Northern States alone, such a Congress as the oonsti tution requires, or is it an illegal and unconstitutional assemblage f " Second. Would existing circumstances justify the President in sending his next annual message to an illegal and unconstitutional assemblage pretending to be the Congress of the United States? " Third. Does that clause in sec. 5 of the first article of the constitution, which makes each house the judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members, give to the present Congress the right to exclude the members from ten States, or to impose dishonourable or unconsti tutional terms upon their admission " Fourth. Does the President's oath of office require him to enforce those provisions of the constitution which give to each State an equal right of representation in Con gress? Article first, section second, section third ; article fifth, last clause. " Fifth. What steps do the constitution and his oath of ] office require the President to take in order to secure the assemblage of a constitutional Congress':" The Philadelphia Ledger adds : " Upon the reply that may be made by the Attorney-General to the above, the President, there is reason to believe, has determined to take his stand. The questions put to the attorney are all the more important when taken in connexion with the bold utterances of the President at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, declaring that the present ' was only an assumed Congress, and not the Congress the constitution called for ;' and also in connexion with similar declarations, though leas pointed, that fell from his lips prior to his return to the capital. From these utterances it is clear that the executive has fully made up his own mind that the thirty-ninth Congress was not a loyal body. He now asks the opinion of the Attorney-General upon the grave and deeply momentous subject, and when it is given he will govern himself accordingly. It is not difficult to foreshadow what the response of Mr. Stanberry will be, and that he will chime in fully with the opinions of the executive as already expressed there is no doubt." A Washington despatch, dated 11th instant, gives a positive denial to the statement of the Ledger and says that the President upon reading it declared it to be false from beginning to end. dim Jibelee 'tee? w Batt aim u which exaeoeil the ad this pi to sap biLL tquiv< G 1
