LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. for his prot4g4 of " honour, thanks, and wise " imitation." Mr. CARLYLE has generally the erectit—end, so far as we are able to judgeoleserves it—of tho rough and accurate inquiry into the historic evi dences of any matter with which he deals. But L is difficult to believe that he can have even looked into the Jamaica Eke Books. - Mr. Buz is censured, by the parsons whom Mr. CARLY= denorman, not for wbat he did in the suppression of the in surrection, but for the homicides which he sanc tioned after the insurrection had, by his own con fession, been suppressed. Without legal trial, and on evidence utterly inconclusive as to their guilt, Mr. EYRE put to death men whose alleged crimes, if they had been proved, would not have been capital, and whose death the public safety d'd not demand. The phrases in which Mr. CartLyLE speaks of " the perilous and appalling " difficulty, something like the case of ' fire ' " suddenly reported 'in the ship's powder " room,' in mid-ocean, where the moments " mean ages, and life and death hang on your " use or misuse of the moments," are very tolerable rhetoric, but are very irrelevant as logic ; for the fire had been put out and the powder damped, and the perilous and appalling di ffi culty had " ' ' ceased, and the momenta had ceased to mean ages, and to oarry life or death with them, when Mr. EYRE committed the acts which Mr. CARLYLE, writing under imperfect information, or with imperfect candour, approves. Even he is forced to adduce the tyrant's plea of necessity, which Mr. Erse himself has virtually disclaimed, and which the report of the Commissioners has refuted. It is for " unnecessary" executioni that the ex-Governor of Jamaica has been recalled and censured. Mr. CARLYLE'S real sympathy and his formal defence rest upon grounds which are in consistent with each other ; and the same incon sistency runs through the apologies of the other literary, clerical, and aristocratic partisans of Mr. Erse. The refutation of their false assump tion converts their elaborate praise into the more damning censure. UR literary biography of Titostas CARLYLE, when the time has passed alike for eulogy and for detraction, will form one of the most curious of psychological studies. It will have not less mor-1 than intellectual instruction. No literary weer illustrates more impressively than his the degree in which genius depends upon character, and so cial influence on both. Deterioration of moral sentiment and corruption of style have kept pace with each other in his later writings ; and the sta dium) which listened to his lightest words as to the inspired utterances of a prophet, now awaits his gravest with the expectant grin which rewards in anticipation the antics of a buffoon. That such a literary old age as his should crown his literary youth and manhood is among the saddest things in the misfortunes of men of letters—sadder far than the fate of CHAT TERTON or of Savaor. The generous enthusiasm, the poetic insight, the pure, if austere, morals, the blended hope and sadness of an earnest tempera ment which glowed in his earlier pages, live in his later writings only as half-extinguished fires under the smouldering ashes. Mr. CARLYLE is a remarkable instance of the manner in which the life of , the closet may unfit a man for judging of the affairs of the world around him. Of in active habits and brooding temperament, his admi ration is given, by a sort of self-revolt, entirely to men of keen worldly perception and prompt action. Energy, howsoever inspired and directed, is the object of his sedentary idolatry, and that energy is moat visible to himwhen its path lies over countless victims. His historic imagination requires vivid pictures, and the slow and tedious processes by which great results are achieved in obedience to laws and constitutions are little to his taste. The true hero, in his view, is one whose steady and ruth less purpose allows no obstacle to turn it aside; and as strength of purpose is shown by the natural force of the restraints which it breaks, a disregard of ordinary humanity immensely stimulates Mr. Cantata's reverence. Personally one of the kindest of men, Mr. CARLYLE has cultivated an intellectual taste for bloodshed—a literary lust of carnage. He has become, by sedulous self-indul gence, voluptuous in cruelty. Like old Lass, in his madness, he threatens to quit the stage, mut tering " Kill—kill—kill." With these acquired habits of mind, it is not wonderful that Mr. CARLYLE should find his sym pathies powerfully stirred by the events which have taken place in Jamaica, and by the conduct and character of the principal actor in them. The letter which we publish to-day can surprise none but those who have obstinately shut their eyes to the real tendency of all his later teaching. Disregard of law and indifference to human suf fering (or, as in the case of negroes Mr. CARLYLE would probably consider it, semi-human suffer ing), where " anarchy " has to be combated, or an inferior race has to be taught submission to its natural rulera, are the principles of govenament which Mr. CARLYLE has for many years been sedulously instilling ; and he would be untrue to himself if he did not welcome the striking exemplification lately given in Jamaica. It is not strange, therefore, that he should pronounce, in respect to Mr. EYRE, that " penalty and clamour are not " the things that this Governor merits from any " of us, but honours, and thanks, and wise " imitation, I will further say, should similar " emergencies arise on the great scale " and on the small, in whatever we " are governing." We commend this passage to those persons who imagine that the Jamaica precedent cannot in the nature of things be dan gerous nearer home. The Tory journalists who denounce the English Reform agitation as illegal and seditious, have shown no readiness to discriminate between Hyde-park and Mo rant Bay. Mr. CARLYLE unconsciously supports, and indeed has anticipated, the assertions with respect to the temper of certain classes among us, for which Mr. CrOLDWIN SMITH has been coarsely reviled. We are inclined, however, to hope that the contingency to which both these writers look forward with different feelings, is more distant than either supposes. What Mr. Camara says of the " clamour raised against Mr. EYRE," we repeat of the clamour raised in his behalf, that it is " dis " graceful to the good sense of England ;" and "if " it rested on any depth of conviction, and were not " rather (as we always flatter ourselves it is) a thing " of rumour and hearsay, of repetition and rover " beration, mostly from the teeth outward, we " should consider it of evil omen to the country and " its highest interest in these times." We, with Mr. CARLYLE, flatter ourselves that the English nation has not changed altogether ; " not yet " quite ; but only that certain loose superficial " portions of it"—a few literary humourista and sentimentalists, a handful of Peers, and others less considerable—" have become a great deal " louder, and not any wiser, than they formerly " used to be." We are confirmed in this view by the fact that on the one side there are the two suc cessive Governments of Lord Resents and Lord Dzairr, and the entire House of Commons ; en the other, is the " Eyre Defence and Aid Com mittee." A Royal Commission of Inquiry, the Executive, and the Legislature—whom Mr. Can- LYLE, if he chooses, may call " loose superficial " portions" of the English nation—unite in pro nouncing that Mr. EYRE has been guilty of the gravest scram affecting the lives of innocent per• sons. Whether those errors were crimes also, is a matter quite irrelevant to Mr. Cantata's claim 1 a ssobilieed" militia, hyAntnghting men out of the mitre lof the missal national armament, on the pi:oeiple of voluntary enlistment in time of pesos, and by compulsory 1 service upon 1110 pressure of open vim YR. J. P. PITICESST AWD THE Nine LORD N The Star has some account of a pamphlet which it seems Mr. J. Pope Hennessy has just published, entitled " Napo_ lean the Third and the Rhtne," the purport of which it understands to be that France unanimously waists, sad will bare, an extended Rhine frontier, and that England ought "to give her moral support to France in the achievement of what-Lord Palmerston called a natural desire." Such a policy Mr. Hennessy hints would be " eminently conservative," and would be "con intent with the character of Lord Stanley." Mr. Hennessy appears from this pamphlet to be a more enthusiastic admirer of Napoleon 111. than even the DI I / 4 de Persigny himself. The meaning of the pamphlet is that, as the Emperor of the French is omnipotent and omniscient, as all his schemes succeed, as all b;s calcula tions come right, England would do well to emaciate her. self in time with him in relation to his Rhenish projects. Mr. Hennessy parades with some pomp a conversation he once had with Lord Palmerston on this subject. He vouches for the " perfect accuracy" of the conversation, and therefore we are bound to believe that Lord Palmers ton, talking with Mr. Hennessy, a oonmrvative, in the tea room of the House of Commons in 1863, thus alluded to ono of his own most distinguished colleagues in °Moe : "Don't quote Lord John's despatches," interrupted the Premier, " let us talk sensibly." All Mr. Hennessy seems to have got from his lordship was that if France wanted Rhenish territory " it would be insanity for us to oppose" her, but that there were also " good reasons why we must not do anything to encourage " her in such • project. The Star remarks that Mr. Hennessy throuThout his pamphlet has omitted to take any account of the German people. Yet they are worth thinking of, too. Perhaps if ba considers the subject with this additional element in troduced into it, he may find out that it is not quite so easy of solution as be seems now to think, and that the less England mixes herself up in the nutter at all, the more friends she is likely to retain and the fewer enemies to make. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1866. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT. The Rhenish Goes& p ublishes the text of the electoral bill &awn up by the commission df the Prussian Chamber of Deputies for the parliament of the Confederation of the North. The bill is very much of the same character as the law under which the famous parliament of Frankfort was elected in He. The bill proposes to confer direct universal suffrage with seer* voting on; all citizen. of the confederated states of 25 years of age. Every elector is eligible to a seat in parliament provided he has resided three years in any of the states. Each electoral district of 100,000 inhabitants to return one member. Parliament is to verify the powers of its members, to decide on their admission, and to frame the rules of its internal organi sation and order. The bill contains 17 clauses, the last of which is not the least significant, con sidering the prosecutions which not long since were instituted against several of the Prussian deputies for their hostility to the government ; namely, that no member shall be liable to prosecution outside the walls of parliament for any words he may have spoken or any votes he may have given in parliament. (RZOTER'Ir TELEOPAIIB.) FRANCE. PARIS, Barr. 12. An imperial decree has been issued ordering the customs import duties upon sugar candies in cases and casks to be levied in future according to the net weight. The Moniker of this morning publishes the fol lowing statistics relative to the late visitation of cholera in Paris :—" The disease broke out in Paris in the early part of July. The greatest number of deaths never exceeded 150 daily. To wards the end of July the violence of the epidemic sensibly diminished, and since Sept. 1 the average number of eases which proved fatal has been 15 daily in the hospitals and 22 daily in the city itself." AIISTP.LI AND ITALY. FLORENCE. Eim. 12. The financial negotiations between Austria and Italy are said to be nearly completed atVienna. The plenipotentiaries are believed to have agreed upon reproducing in the treaty about to be concluded the stipulations already inserted in the treaties of Prague and Paris. It is expected that the nego tiators will confine themselves to laying down in the treaty the principle of management, and that the liquidation will be carried into effect by special commissioners, without the conclusion of peace being delayed. LEGHORN, Barr. 11. A meeting of the shareholders of the Tuscan Bank has been held in this city, at which it was resolved in principle that a fusion should take place between this bank and the national bank of Italy. NEW BAVARIAN LOAN. MUNICH, Scrr. 12. The House of Erlanger of Frankfor'...-on-the- Maine,in company with some other German bankers, will to-day conclude a lottery loan to the Bavarian government of 28 million thalers. The loan will bear Interest at 4 per cent., 1 per cent, further being allotted for prizes, and the bonds will be to the amount of 100 thalers each. The loan lof six and a half million dollars, announced last mail as having been nego tiated by the Chilien government with the leading banking houses has not been ratified, on account of certahi conditions imposed upon the government by the lenders to the effect that Chili ixi the present war should only aefit en the defensive. A representative of Bolivia had arrived in Chili for the purpose of arranging the ques tion of the Ifejißones upon the basis of .joint working of the guano deposits. The French firm of Arnaud had arranged to advance six million dollars to Chili and Bolivia, and to work the guano deposits, dividing the profits between the two countries. The Chilian man-of-war steamer Henrietta, from England, has arrived at Valparaiso. The Valpa raiso markets were unchanged. Exchange on London, 44d. to 44}d. ; on Paris, 4.62 to 4.66. Bar silver per mare, 10 dole. 620. The Callao markets were improving. The ship ping business was more active. The guano trade was unchanged. Saltpetre declining. ENGLAND AID GERYANT. An Englishman who is travelling in Germany writes that the Germans of every class appear persuaded that the power and greatness of England are on the de. eine, the grounds assigned for the conviction consisting in the political conduct of our government in its dealings with Germany ; in the recent and great mistakes of public opinion with respect, first, to the American, and next, to the German question : and in the third place, in the financial crisis. To this the Daily Katt, replies that so far as our influence in Europe is concerned we have such as we aspire to, and at any rate if we have had no share in the reconstruction of Europe, we have sustained no humiliating rebuffs in the course of this last war, nor exposed ourselves to the reproaches of helpless populations. The treaty of 1852 was a mistake, but it was • European and not an English engagement, and three years ago the war against Denmark was not made in the name of nationalities—the German people themselves hesitating to acknowledge the appliention of that doctrine whenever Posen and Galicia were talked of. As long as the policy of the Prussian govern. meat appeared a simple manifestation of rapacity in the interest of • single state, we condemned it, but as aeon as the same government proclaimed the national unity of Germany as its aim, English opinion declared itself unequivocally and with surprising unanimity on the side of Prussia. We know nothing in the recent hietoty of nations more creditable than this instant change of public sentiment. It shows at once the intelligence and the disinterestedness of the nation. We had not been on good terms with Prussia ; it was certain that the creation of • German fleet, which must follow the reorganisation of the country, would have the effect of increasing our national burdens ; and the Prussian victories were won at the ex_ panne of one of our oldest allies. But the prospect of im mense gain to Germany threw all these reflections into the background. This is what we understand in England by a liberal policy, one which in every crisis and conjuncture asks first what is good for those who have the heaviest stake in the question to be solved, and accepts that as the principal end to be cared for. TEE MEXICAN EMPIRE. Though the Times acknowledges that the Mexican Empire is a hopeless failure, it continues to maintain that it deserved a different fate. It knows, in short, of but one fault with which the Emperor Napoleon can be fairly charged. When he occupied the capital and assumed the government of Mexico, he did so, not with an impar tial condemnation of the old factions, but with a prefer. mice to one of them. He closed with the party opposed to Juarez, which bad, at least, the dis advantage in title and pretensions, and was pro bably—if precedence was possible between such candi dates—the more worthless faction of the two. Juarez had offered terms, but they were refused, and so, driven like more respectable patriots into exile, ho at last organised a successful resistance to the invader. If he has acquired in the process any such principles as befit a Constitutional ruler, or any such power as is necessary to sustain a government, we may see an independent Mexico in the list of civilised states ; but we are not yet ac quainted with any facts which could induce a belief in such an event, and it is far more probable that an imme diate return of confusion and another period of murderous anarchy will lead to the disappearance of the country in the United States. With that result Europe wall have no disposition to quarreL The Post Weirs that in the matter of the French inter vention in Mexico Mr. Johnson and his advisers acted with very great moderation. If Maximilian fails to establish his empire, the result will not be attributable to the on. compromising manner in which the government of the United States have sought to enforce the policy of Mr. President Monroe. AR= ADMINISTRATION. The Daily News attributes the spread of scarlet fever and the measles at Aldershot to the disgracefully inade quate accommodation pros ided, not only as "married quarters," but also for the men generally, and proceeds to describe what this accommodation ix. In one room the army sanitary committee noticed that " the bed, with the furniture, and the inmates standing, nearly covered the whole area of the floor !" But the most unfavourable ar rangement of all, so far as health is concerned, is the placing • number of families in • large her rack-mom, "where the ventilation is insufficient, and the whole construction nnadapted for family occupation." The committee's report is an explicit condemnation of the huts at present in use, which are in violation of all the laws of hygiene. The military authorities seem to set a black mark on the married soldiers as a class, and approve in comparison of prostitution. The Daily New contends that this is an entire mistake, and that the proportion of married soldiers might be largely increased with advantage to the army. Our whole system of army administration in fact shows no slight signs of a general break up—to be remodelled, let us hope, in a manner consistent with our requirements. The Tama commends to continental nations the Swiss system of armament, which would virtually abolish con seription except for the necessities of open war, and would curtail the powers of the state for too vast • military establishment in time of peaoe. Every Sass is • soldier without owing to be a citizen. He serves in the so-called regular army between 20 and 30 years of age ; be belongs to She reserve from 30 to 40, and passes on to the Land wehr for the rest of his available time. By this arrangement Switzerland can bring into the geld a force of 200,000 combatants, out of a papule. Bon of 2,500,000 souls, with a military budget which may be looked upon as infinitesimal if compared with that of any of the monarchical states of Europe. Switzerland bar, however, properly epeaidng, no standing army, and her contingents am only called under arms for a few days' annual drill. Nothing would be easier, however, for Adam more ambitious to keep • regular force than to en graft such an establishment upon the Swiss system by • tits eaurt. BALMORAL, SEPT. 9. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian, drove out yesterday morning. Princess Louise, attended by Lady Chureh' l l, rade to Abergeidie. In the afternoon her Majesty, with Princess Louise, went oat driving. The Right Hon. Spencer Walpole, as the minister in attendance on her Majesty, mitred at the Cantle yester day, and also I)r. Csird. The Prince and Princess of Wales dined with the Queen last night. The Hon. Mr.. Hardinge had the honour of dining with the Queen and Royal Family. Barr. 10. The Queen, Prince awl Princess Christian, Primes@ Louise, and the Duke of Edinburgh, and attended by . the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting, were present at Divine service at the parish church at Crathie yesterday morning. Dr. Cain', chaplain to her Majesty, officiated. Mr. Walpole and Dr. Caird had the honour of dining with the Queen and royal family. A deputation from the Ottoman Gas Company (Limited) , consisting of Mr. Horner, one of the directors, and Mr. A. J. King, the secretary, had an interview with Lord Stanley yesterday, at the Foreign-01os, on the subject of the company's affairs at Smyrna. Despatches were sent from the Colonial-office yesterday to the Governors of Gibraltar and Malta. THE COURT AT BALMORAL.-011 Sunday last her Majesty the Queen, their Royal Highnesses the Princ e and Princess of Wales, Prince Christian, Princess Helena, Princess Louise, and the Duke of Edinburgh, with the ladies and gentlemen of the court, attended Divine service in the church of Crathie. The Rev. Dr. Caird preached ' from St. John's Gospel xvii., 4th and sth verses, " I have glorified thee on ell th ; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. And now, 0 Father, glorify me with thine own-self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." The discourse, which was one of singular power and eloquence, was listened to with deep attention by the large and distinguished audience that filled every part of the church.—Edinburg h Courant. _ _ _ Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Colonel Home Purves, and Lady Geraldine Somerset, left Cambridge-cottage, Kew, yesterday, for Sou-borough, Yorkshire. His Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale has returned to bis residence at Twickenham, from Switzer land. The marriage of his Highness Prince Edward de LiF.,ne to Augusta Theodosia Mary, daughter of Sir David T. Cunynghame, Bart., of Milncraig, in the county of Ayr, and Cosham House, Hants, took pl►ce on the 11th instant, at Warwick-street Chapel. Archbishop Manning officiated. The Earl and Counteu of Yarborough have arrived in Arlington-street from Ireland. On Monday his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, accompanied by the Marchioness of Abercorn and the Ladies Hamilton, visited the Dublin Exhibition Palace for the first time. Although the day was stormy and wet, tho building was crowded. The Lord-Lieutenant, who obtained a very enthusiastic reception, witnessed tho per formance of Leotard on the trapeze, and subsequently at- tended a concert, at which the principal artist was Mr. R. C. Levey, who is more commonly known as " Paganini Redivivus." Mr. Latimer Clark on Sunday telegraphed from Valentia that the tests had been completed, and the cable of 18'35 had been found to be even better than that of the present year. The land lines of telegraph beyond Heart's Content have been found to be in a very imperfect con dition, and it has been proposed, not only to renew the existing land lines, but to establish an alternate route of communication with the United States, and to lay a new cable from Placentia Bay to Cape Breton, or some other point on the coast. The Great Extern, h-.ving triumphantly performed the task for which she was employed, left Heart's Content at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning, and may be expected to arrive at Liverpool about the 19th inst. George Hopper, the financial agent of the Fenian organisation in this country, who was sentenced at the special commission to two years' imprisonment, has been released from confinement. The clemency of the Lord Lieutenant has been extended to him, It is said, because his health bad been greatly impaired by imprisonment. Hopper was formerly the proprietor of a thriving tailoring business in Dame-street. The country likely to benefit moat from the bad tarn of the harvest in Western Europe, says the Times, is Russia. Throughout that empire this year the crops have not only been large in quantity but favourable in quality, and the export trade, especially from Ode's*, is already commencing on a full scale, large orders having been sent from London. From some of the German ports there may also be a good supply for shipment, but the requirements of France, which last year had an unusually large surplus, are likely to be heap;, and from America no arrivals of wheat are to be expected, the crops there having been se riotuly damaged by rain. Of Indian corn, however, the yield in America has been larger than ever before known, and for this there will be an increase in the demand in proportion to any advance that may take place in the price of wheat. The importation of wheat from Russia is not likely to be attended by any immediate outflow of gold, the state of the St. Petersburg exchange having long been very adverse to that country. Mayence, which is now occupied by the Prus sians, is quite as celebrated for its hams and smoked sawing.' as for its fortifications. It has been aLeady stated that the new occupiers have lost no time in is Ming to work on the fortifications, but they have, it seems, fallen to with equal vigour on tho stores of pork flesh for which the city is so famous. The consequences are said to have been a fearful amount of indigestion, and edged» mortality among the Prussian garrison. The trade in roses, as is well known, is of con siderable importance in France. Rase trees are culti vated in different parte of the country in open fields, just as turnips or cabbages. Thus, there are 500,000 rose trees sear Orleans; 200,000 near Metz ; 1,000,000 near Angers ; 1,500,000 near Lyons ; 2,000,000 near Paris ; and 2,000,000 in the thirteen tonunanes of Brie-Conte-Robert. The varieties celled Ross-The, the Bourbon, and afeueseste flourish particularly in the environs of Paris and Orleans. SPAIN. MADRID, SEPT. 12. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has left for Biarritz. The government has repaid to the Bank of Spain thirty-six million reels, in part payment of previous advances. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAMST, firrr. 11. Two members of the cabinet, Prince Stirbey and M. Stourdza, have left hero for Constantinople on a mission connected with the question of the re cognition by the Porte of Prince Charles of Hohenzollern. The elder Prince Stirbey is expected here shortly. OUTWARD BOMBAY MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, S. 12. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ceylon, sailing hence to-day with the mails for the Mediterranean, Bombay, de., takes out 55 paaaen gers, 2,0001. in sovereigns for Alexandria, and jewellery value 5141. for Bombay. Amongst her passengers are Sir A. Campbell, Captains Macpherson, Cromartie, and Stokes, and Lieutenant Crawley. CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIA MAILS. MALTA, Burr. 11. The Surat left at 1 p.m. yesterday, and the Poonah at 2 p.m. to-day. The former may be expected at Marseilles early on the 13th, and the latter at Southampton about the 20th inst. (The routes of these vessels have been changed as above by direction of the Company's Superin tendent at Alexandria.) AMERICAN MAIL. IN, Bar. 12. The North German Lloyd's steamer Hansa, sailing at noon to-day for New York with the mails, takes a full complement of passengers and a large cargo, including English gold coin 14,0001., and French jewellery to the value of 104,000 fr. THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SErr. 12. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Attato, with tho above mails, has arrived here. She brings 104 passengers, 2,432,202 dollars in specie, and 1,719 packages of cargo consisting chiefly of cocoa, bark, cochineal, cotton, and rubber. Sbe left St. Thomas on the 29th ultimo, and on the 31st experienced a strong gale from the N.E• to S.E., and on the 9th inst. encountered a furious gale from S. S. W. to W.N.W. and high sea. Her Majesty's ship Clio arrived at Panama on the 15th ultimo. Since leaving the Mexican coast the crew had suffered severely. Over 100 were on ' the sick list. The Columbine sailed from Panama for the south emit on the 18th ult. The steamer Bolivar, from Liverpool, arrived at Colon on the 10th ult. The elections in Peru are fixed for October. The Government continues actively forwarding useful measures. _ _ _ A decree has been Issued for increasing the revenue tax, which will yield a large sum. It falls chiefly upon the commercial class, and consists of a duty of 10 per cent. on bills of lading, Custom house policies, and on all monies received.

(raom OV3 OWN CONZIBEOMANT.) PABMI. TOBSDAY Evmaa. The French papers took the will for the deed when they announced that the Emperor went to shoot at Rambouillet yesterday. The bad weather —and it was very showery—is now stated as a reason why he did not go, and the further post ponement of the journey to Biarritz is attributed to a determination to have a battue at Rambouilleb first, whenever the weather shall be good enough. The Patrie, which has all along been a prominent advocate of what it calls the " claims " on France of the Mexican bondholders, has a paragraph calculated to make their months water. It says : The latest intelligence from Mexico furnishes fresh arguments in favour of the position which we have always maintained on behalf of the holders of the Mexican loan. But argument on the subject is likely to be no longer necessary, for if we may credit the information we receive, the cause which we have defended is very nearly gained. We are assured that an inquiry set on foot by government as to the best means of ameliorating the position of the numerous owners of Mexican securities is nearly terminated, and that a measure is about to be taken which will entirely reconcile the interests of the French treasury with thaw of the little capitalists in question. A very wonderful measure indeed this must be ! Tho proposition to be solved is this : Mexico not being able to pay, and France not being liable to pay, how to get France to find the money wanted without robbing the French taxpayer for the bene fit of unlucky speculators. General Castelnau, a director in the office of the Minister at War, and one of the Emperor's aides de-camp, is going to Mexico—of course, seeing the position he holds, on a mission of importance. He is the bearer of an autograph letter from Napoleon HI. to the Emperor Maximilian. The general leaves Paris this evening and will embark at St. Nazairo to-morrow in the mail packet for Vera Cruz. The foundation for the consolatory announce ment which the Patric offers to the Mexican bond holders is merely this—that M. de Germiny, the president of the conunission on Mexican finance, has gone to Tarbes to see M. Fould. If he does not get a satisfactory answer from the Finance Minister, he intends to go to Biarritz and plead the cause of the Mexican bondholders before the Emperor, who, it is now said, will positively leave St. Cloud for Biarritz on the prolonged date of Sa turday next. Should he not succeed, M. Germiny threatens to resign. This state of things is very far indeed from the assertion of the Petrie that the question is as good as settled. The Prune, a semi-governmental organ, thinks "no solution has either been made or is even in preparation, and that nothing can be decided before the arrival of Maaimilian's answer to the communications made to him through the Empress Charlotte." An election for a deputy to the Corps Legislatif for Savoy has just terminated with the following result :—M. Berard, the government candidate, 15,389 ; M. Brunier, opposition candidate, 0,030. The France characterises this election in a depart ment which has only been French within the last two years as a " new adoption by Savoy of France as its mother country." This observation in an instance of indiscreet zeal. Silence would have done the government more service. The majority is little more than two to one, and it is really wonderful that in the face of the French organisation for working the b_llot-box, nearly one-third of the electors of Savoy —where oppositionmust bedeemed akin to disaffec tion and treason—should have polled for the un official candidate. The Bourse was weak. The recent rise seems to have been too precipitate. Rente fell 20c. for cash, and 7ic. for account, closing at 70fr. 20c. and 70fr. 25c. Mobilier fell 10fr., and Credit Foncier 7fr. 50t. The heaviest depreciation was in Italian, which fell lfr. 20c., closing at 571 r. 60c. Biarritz seems very full just now.

"The conversation-rooms at Baden," says the Garet& des Strangers." were on Thursday evening the scene of considerable excitement caused by the freaks of a party of fashionable young men in a state of semi•ebriety, who had filled their pockets with fulminating balls, and were scattering them about in various directions. So much con fusion warn created by the explosions, shrieks of the ladies, and altercations amongst the gentlemen, that the reams were closed at 11 o'clock, instead of the usual boar of midnight." . _ - A Paris letter says :—" A piece is going to be put on the stage here called Peruses, is London.

He brooks no rivals, and not only denounces any other " gentlemen of the highway" who may practice in his district as " impos tors," bat *easily arrests and gives them up to the police. He lately sent four of these competitors to the nearest post of gendarmes, requesting them to be esverely punished.
