LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18. Lancashire, and, after a visit to the Mart, turn up in Wessex as a great landed proprietor and patron of livings, is not that with which the factory operative is most familiar. What he sees, for the moat part, is masters who, not long since, were but little removed by possessions or pursuits from himself, small shopkeepers, clerks, and even mill hands. What they have they have saved themselves, and hold in the form of ma chinery, and buildings, either mills or cottages. Mr. Comma tells us that as a rule two-thirds of a cotton-spinner's capital will always be a fixed in vestment, and that while the owners of hundreds of thousands of pounds accumulated in floating capital, beyond their investments in machinery, mills, and cottages, may be counted on the fingers, the small capitalists may be reckoned by the thousand. The property of these men is being consumed day by day before their eyes. Their source of income is stopped, and they must live out of their floating capital ; their property is deteriorating for want of use, and still they pay poor rates on it. The consequence to be appre hended from the continuance of this state of things appears to Mr. Convex to be "the greatest " and most unmanageable danger that is now " before us." The working classes of the district may be maintained by charity, but it is not so easy to deal with the danger which threatens the capitalist class. The rich millionaires—the field marshals, the generals, and the colonels of the great army of industry—can take care of them , selves, but the rank and file of the capitalists, who are rich in fixed capital, but have little THE debate at Madrid on the Mexican expe dition has established once more a truth of which the admirers and abettors of French Im perialism are not sufficiently aware ; and that is the value of moral forces. At the beginning of the year, while General PRIM was out of reach, M. BILLAULT made havoc of that gallant officer's re putation in his account of Imperial policy in Mexico. With the chartered rhetoric of an advocate of any and every cause, he sneered at the Com mander of the Spanish forces who had so suddenly and unaccountably withdrawn from the risk and glory of an enterprise which France was resolved to pursue alone. England had withdrawn also ; but M. BILLAULT, let us hasten to acknow ledge, was particularly sparing of reflec tions upon the conduct of the English Government. Commodore DUNLOP and Sir C. W 1 EE had exercised a discretion which they had from the first reserved ; but General PRIM had, from wounded self-love or some other personal caprice, embarked his troops, and left the French corps d'armie in the lurch. Had it pleased M. BILLAULT to treat England as severely as he treated Spain no doubt the censure would have been borne with equanimity. But M. BILLAULT, with characteristic generosity, spent all his sar . . cum upon the Spanish General : and if that bril hint soldier had desired a fitting tribute to the qualities which have endeared him to his coun trymen, he may have found it in the eloquence of the Imperial defamer. Assuredly no possible glory or advantage which General PRIM might have achieved as the auxiliary of General FOREY could have satisfied his conscience half so well as this outspoken vindication ,of his own and his country's honour, and this resolute exposure of the false pretences and the unscrupulous intrigues to which as a gentleman and a soldier he had scorned to stoop. All who know General PRIM know him to be • man of true Castilian temper, and the insinuations which were so freely cast upon his motives by hired assailants in the French Chambers no man living could have more easily disdained. But to Europe, and to history, and to interna tional justice it was due that he should speak as , if in his own defence, and he deserves more than his country's thanks for having condescended to reply tO M. BILL•CLT. The substance of General Pines elaborate apo logy will surprise no one who has paid the most indifferent attention to the policy of the SZOOND EMPIRE within the last six years; least of all will it surprise those who have had experience of combined military operations with a Govern ment for which a Convention means • form of words to conceal from your allies unexpressed pm , poses of your own ; a Government which initiates a combined expedition for one object, and ends it, abortively perhaps, for another. General Pam asserts—what, indeed, all the information that has reached England from Mexico abundantly confirms —that whilst, according to the avowal of the French Government itself, the ostensible claims of France demanding redress from the Mexican Government were insignificant in comparison with those of Spain and England, the real aim of the French expedition was to im pose a new form of government upon the Mexicans, and even to plant an Austrian pre tender on the throne. Why an Austrian Arch duke was the favourite at the Tuileries—to what distant and hazy schemes of compensation or com plicity in other regions this patronage of Austria pointed—remains a mystery to amuse the imagi nations of the correspondents of " international" journals ; but that such was in effect the scheme of the Emperor of the FRENCH, in spite of all the denials of the Muniteur and its consorts, and of M. BILLAULT, and of French diplomacy, is now asserted by a man of stainless honour, speaking in his place as a Senator of Spain. General Palm, however, has only confirmed a fact to which the denials of the French Government had already given credence. Nor was the destruction of the Mexican Republic the only project which the Spanish General de clined to sanction. Behind it, and beneath it, and around it, were transactions in certain bonds which would have betrayed their source, if it had not been disclosed in correspondence intercepted by the Mexican Government. Then in the French camp there were emissaries of the clerical and monarchical party, and creatures of the Court of France, sent out under the auspices of that frivolous fanaticism which so strangely perverts and perplexes French policy in Italy and in Mexico alike. Can we wonder that General Palm refused to spend the blood of Spanish troops in making a purse for jobbers in Paris, or a temporal power in the New World to assuage the devotion of the protectress of the Temporal Power in the Old General Penes speech is only too well con firmed in all its points by the latest news from Mexico. Motor:re, whom General Fosse had disavowed on his arrival, is now, it seems, attached coating capital, are in danger of disappearing. " If this state of things goes on," Mr. COBDEN thinks " the consequence will be, that a wide " spread ruin will engulf the capitalist class "as well as the labourers; and then indeed C. you would have a wilderness and a wreck in the district." The working classes have a greater interest than anybody else in the avert ing of this catastrophe. Everyone can understand the statement that, so far from wishing to see their employers' capital exhausted, one of the fears oon 'tautly haunting their minds is that the capitalist who owns the mill may never be able to open it again. These facia furnish one more illustration of the immense mischief to all classes of society which would follow from relying on the instrumentality of the Poor-law beyond a certain point for the relief of this distress. The cases of a sluggish rural parish, whose proprietors require to be fined into improve ment by heavy poor rates, and of a highly indus trious community whose whole source of income is wholly cut off, are so unlike, that it is difficult to understand how anyone accustomed to reflection should have assumed without inquiry that the same remedy was applicable to both. The Cheltenham Eriminer gays :—" We are in formal, on unquestionable authority, that Dr. Baring, Bishop of Durham, has, in the kindest manner, offered the vacant archdeaconry of Dnrham,with a stall in the cathedral of the value of 1,0004 a year, to the Rev. Canon Boyd, late incumbent of Christ Church, in this town, and rector of St. , . Mary'•, Paddington. We are not informed whether Mr. Boyd has decided to accept the presentation, but the fact of its having been offered to him in such a kind and gratui• tons manner must be pleasing to Mr. Boyd himself, as it will no doubt be to many of his attached triads among our readers in Cheltenham." Bioko* el Weed, clergy, . royal houubcM and others had assembled, walked to the maueoleum, Mmompanied by the Prism of Wales, the Priem ead Primers Louie of Hems, the Princess Helena, the Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, and the Prinoees Beatrice. The Queen entered the mausoleum at five minutes pest 12 o'clock. The Bishop of Oxford (bishop of the dioceol), Archdeacon Randall (chaplain), Sir John Phillimore, D.C.L. (chancellor of the diocese), the Deem of Windsor. the Doan of Christchurch, Rev. Dr. Stanley, the Vicar of Windsor, the Rev. Lord Wriotheeley Russell, and the Rev. James Blunt, vicar of Old Windsor, then commenced the consecration, by pasting round the external walls of the building, with Dr. Elvey and the choir of St. George's Chapel, singing (Tallies Chant) Psalm 49, "O hear ye this all ye people. " Earl Granville (Lord President), Viscount Sydney (Lord Chamberlain),and the Gentlemen of the Household followed in procession. The psalm having been chanted, the Bishop, clergy, and gentlemeeenteredthe mausoleum, and the Bishop continued the ceremony, "Dearly beloved in the Lord," followed by the prayer, "O God who hest taught us in Thy Holy Word." The choir aft the Amen Chant, and afterwards a hymn from " In Memoriam," oommeooing The just man's spirit ;hall not be Parted from kindred spirits, Each 0110 in God's blest company A future borne inherits'. The Bishop of Oxford recited the prayers "Grant, 0 Lord, that they who shall bring forth their dead into this place may be so strengthened and comforted by Tky OWE. that they may not be sorry as men without hops for them that sleep in Thee." "Grant, 0 Lord, that they who shall here iay the bodies of Thy saints to rest, in hope of the blessed resurrection, may evermore ateadfsstly believe in the fellowship and communion of Thy sante, living and departed, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amea." " Grant, 0 Lord, that all who here shall call upon Thy name may so be raised from the death of sin to the life of righteousness, that they may be delivered from the bitter pains of eternal death, and have their part in the glorious resurrection of Thy salute, through Jesus Christ our Lord— . A hymn of four verses from " In Memoriam" was sung (the Old Buridreth) by the choir : 0 food and loving spirit thou, Far, far away from me art now: I miss the hand of friendship true The heart that all my feelings knew.i But while my grief thus tills my heart, Thou in God sbosem lying art: Freed from the body's yoke at last. The gentle soul to ids bath passed. No Spirit ! not one moment e'en would I recall thee to this scene : Thou wort full worthy of my love, And God bath quicken'd thee above. God will in turn raise use, and then I shall rejoin thee coos again : Into thy loving arms I'll ay, Immortal thou, immortal I. The Bishop concluded the ceremony with " Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal, and Invisible, the only wise God, the Father, the Sou, and the Holy Ghost, honour and glory, for ever and ever. Amen." His Lordship, sitting in his chair, directed the Chancellor to read the 'esteem of consecration, which wee then elicited by the Bishop. The ceremtooy was finished at half-past 12 o'clock. The Queen, with the members of her family, quitted the mausoleum, and, unattended by the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting, walked beck to Frogtuore.

The mausoleum bag a central dome, an octagon, sixty-four feet in height and thirty-feet in diameter. The ground plan of the building is formed of four recesses with connecting circular corridors, the space between the opposite remises measuring also sixty-four fest. There is an entrance-porch projecting Iron. the east side approached by a flight of steps. Although the building is not yet completed, the central portion, in which the royal sarcophagus is to be placed, is entirely closed. The exterior of the mausoleum will be nearly covered with granite of various colours. The interior will be finished by coloured marbles and frescoes. The building has been designed by Mr. Humbert and Proforma? Gruner. The contractor is Mr. G. Dines. We learn from our correspondent that her Majesty, who wee unveiled, and the other members of the royal family, were deeply affected throughout the proceedings. The weather was unfavourable, it having rained from the time the Queen arrived until she took her departure. The body will be removed in the course of the day from its temporary resting place, in St. George's Chapel, to the mausoleum, and placed in • temporary tomb until the magnificent oar. cophague is completed. Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinatone, arrived this morning from Greenwich-park. Earl Granville, Viscount Sydney, and the Bishop of Oxford, arrived yesterday afternoon at the Castle. The Bishop of Oxford left this afternoon. The Dean at Christ church arrived to-day. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colooial•ofllce from the Governor of the Bahamas.

POLAND. POLITICAL TRIAL A letter from Warsaw, in the Gazelle of Silesia of the 11th, says : To-day wan held the first sittiog of the council of war in the indictment against the members of a secret society accused of having wished to provoke an insurrection by organising a revolutionary army. The first sitting, which lasted six hones, took place in the Pao Palace. Some hun dreds of persons favoured with Oasts of admission were present The council is composed of seven superior officers, presided over by General Ramsay. The funciloos of exa mining magistrate were filled by Major Rotkir. bitty-six accused were present, divided by the indictment into six categories. One of the accused complained that a colonel during the inquiry at the citadel threatened him with the Imagined° and his sword. This evidence appeared strongly to affect the judges. Almost all the accused belong to the working clue, only a few having received a good educa tion. They were madly about twenty yeses of age, some being only seventeen. Several families are represented by two and even three brothers. A correspondence in the Nord brings down the I I report of the proceedings to thel4th. Much stress is laid in the letters upon the publicity of the trial and the freedom allowed for the defence. On the 13th the audience broke out into loud applause during the speech of one of the counsel for the prisoners; but, after a severe rebuke from the president of the tribunal, this was not repeated, and the advo cate concluded his speech on the 14th amid pro found silence, although much emotion was felt. ou:unit's TRIM ITALY TURIN, D. 17, Evunia. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Minister of the Interior stated that the government, in acceding to the proposition for an inquiry into brigandage, has by no means intended to encroach upon the privileges of the executive. The government was determined to make every effort to repress brigandage and prevent its ecurrence in the coming spring. The principal object which it had in view was the re-establish ment of the authority of the law. After a short discussion the Chamber passed to the order of the day. Dr. Bertani proposed that the Chamber should declare that it regarded the arrest of the deputies at Naples as an offence against the majesty of the sovereign parliament. Signor Rattazzi demanded a full discussion of the subject, but the Chamber adopted the order of the day.

The Allgemcin Prelasi:ache (Stern) Zeitung of to day publishes an article on the proposition that a popular assembly should be added to the Federal Diet, which concludes as follows :—" Should a ma jority of the members of the Diet agree upon such an extension of the popular representation at the Federal Diet without the concurrence of all the members, such an act would be a violation of the Federal constitution." AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, D. 18. The Hamburg and American Company's steamer Hammonia, due here from Hamburg on Monday night, and appointed to sail for New York yester day, only arrived hers this morning. The detention was caused by the breakage of 250 teeth of the large oog-wheel of her machinery. She will sail for New York on Saturday next. The Malta Times says :—" The schooner-yacht Pilgrim, belonging to the Duke of St. Albans, arrived here on the 7th from Cowes. His grace and a party of friends are on board. The Pilgrim laves for Rome, when the mother of the duke is at present sojourning. Several other yachts had arrived during the week. We hear there are as many as twenty-six English yachts this season in Albauia, and that there is the unprecedented number of thirty-five in different parte of the Mediterranean." The King of Bavaria passed some hours at Augs burg on the 13th with the ex. Queen ot Naples. Her Ma jesty spends the greater part of her time with the family of Duke Lenin, her brother. A Marseilles letter says :—" M.

He left Pans some days back to examine some of the locali ties of the south, the most favourably situated for the in stallation of fresh astronomical stations." A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Nord of to-day, says :—" In the memory of man there has not been such a winter as this at St. Petersburg-20 degrees of °old ; the river and the sea looked in ice for a loos time past, and not • flake of snow !

ARTIFICIAL " SIAMESE TWINS."—A curious and I interesting experiment was lately made at Strasburg to effect the union ot two animals, so that they might, to a certain degree, have • life in common. It was, indeed, producing artificially what nature pro thduced Siam sponese Ttaneengy in those extraordinary phenomena ; e wits. Two white rate, of the Albino species, were selected for the experiment, probably as being more manageable than their darker brethren. Au iociaioo was made on the sight side of the one, and on the loft of the other, engaging the skin and the cellular tissue under it. The surfaces of the two wounds were kept closely together by sutures and bandages until the sixth day, when union by the first inten tion was found to have taken place. They tben attempte by aids, being united by a dishy band. An to poison both hy the mouth of the one did not succeed , but as injection thrown into the jugular vein of one animal was found to have entered the superficial femoral reins of the other. showing clearly that an intimate vascular union had already taken place between them. This interesting expe riment may bare a most important bearing on restorative surgery.—Oslignani. FROM PARIS. =Os oosuaromairr.) P-• ARM WIDNIODAY Eviania. The Moniker gives no satisfaction to the curiosity the public as to the details of the grand shooting resident given by Baron de Rothschild to the Rca peror. It merely mentions the fact of the visit, and gives the names of the personages who had the honour of shooting with his Majesty. That of the host does not appear among them ; but I rather think the omission must be the result of a mistake. It was certainly said that the princely banker meant to carry a gun on this great occasion. The following particulars are gleaned from various sources : The Emperor left Paris yesterday morning at half-past 9 for the Chinon of Ferrines on a shooting excursion is the grounds of Baron de Rothschild. His Majesty was received at the terminus of the Eastern Railway by IL Thouvenel, president of the board of directors, and 301. Perdonnet, Baude, Beign hes, Hollins, and Sausage, directors. The Emperor was accompanied by M. Fouled, Count Walewaki, Lord Cowley, Generals Fleury and Ney ; sad M. Thouvenel was invited to take a seat in the imperial carriage. The train left immediately for the station of Oxoner la Fer- Aires, where it arrived in about an hour, the distance being about 20 miles. At this station (which six villages, for merly deprived of communk►tions, owe to Baron de Rothe child) the baron's equipages, in bias liveries and yellow, awaited hie Majesty, who took his seat in an open carriage with four blood horses and postilions. Five other carriages, also drawn by splendid horses, were plued at the disposal of the guests. The baron's four sons were waiting at the station to receive his Majesty. At a quarter to 11 the Emperor arrived at the chateau, and the imperial flag was at once raised on one of the towers. After looking over the interior of the edifice, the Emperor took a walk in the park, where he pleated a cedar to commemorate his visit, and then returned to the chateau for breakfast. The service of silver plate, made from models which were immediately destroyed to preserve it unique, was mom parried by the celebrated service of Sevres porcelain, way plate of which bears an authentic picture by Busher, signed with the B. At this table sat all the baron's fanny and the guests. After breakfast a numerous shooting equipage awaited the guests, who proceeded to the great park, which covers 1,500 hectares (3,700 , acres) entirely surrounded with walls, and contain ing three farms. The sport wu splendid and (boat 1,000 head of game were killed. On returning to the chateau, about half-put 5, the Emperor found all the population of the environs mumbled in the court-yard, headed by the mayors and cures. A collation had been prepared in the hall, the gallery of which was occupied by the male chorus-singers from the Opera, who, under the direction of Victor Mare, executed the " Bunten' Chorus" of Rossini. At 6 o'clock the signal for departure was given. The keepers, huntsmen, and other potions em ployed on the domain, holding torches, limed the road for the imperial cortege from the portal of the pekoe to the gate of the forest, which wee also brilliantly lighted all the war to the station at Owner. His Majesty then retuned to Paris, and in the evening, accompanied by the Empress, bottomed the Opira Comique with his pre sence to tritium, the I,oooth representation of Boieldisu'a opera of La Dame BlaticAe. There are very various accounts u to the head of game killed. Some of the evening papers sar 1,000, but the France gives the figure u 2,500. Even this falls far short of the programme of the Independence, which spoke of 6,000 as destined for slaughter. 800 pheasants alone are spoken of as having been brought down. A great many of these were put in pigeon-traps along the line of march, and were only let out by the beaters when the Emperor came within distance. Contrary to the programme given yesterday, the breakfast took place before and not after the shooting. It is noticed as a mark of special condescension that Baroness de Rothschild, although she has not been presented at court, was allowed to do the honours of her own table. Guignart was the artiste entrusted with the responsibility of providing the breakfast. The Patric, which seems to have had a special correspondent at Ferrieres, says it abstains from giving the wondrous bill of fare, " on which alone a long poem might be writ ten," from a feeling of delicacy respecting the private life of the worthy host. Ferrierte as it now stands is valued at 700,0001 sterling. The Patric now retracts its former assertion that the surrender of the lonian Islands was not to include Corfu, and says the only subject under discussion is whether some of the fortifications are not to be destPoyed. Mr. Elliot—called in all the French papers Lord Elliot—missed the steamer for Greece which left on Dec. 15, and is obliged to remain at Marseilles till to-morrow (Thursday) before he can start. General de Lorenoea arrived in Paris this morn ing, and has already had a long interview with the Minister at War. At the Bourse the Rents exactly recovered the fall of yesterday, closing at 69fr. 95c. for cash, and 69fr. 70c. for account, with a rise of 15c. Mobi lier rose 10fr., and the Italian Loan, 45c. In rail way shares there is hardly any change. The following note has been communicated to the journals by the administration of the telegraph : The telegraph lines are at this moment seriously dammed in mast' places, owing to the high winds and heavy =las which have prevailed in the south, and •lso to the untied in of cold weather. A great many wires have been beast by the weight of the hoer treat attaching to them. Com munications between the different southern towns and be. t wean Paris, Marseillee, and Bordeaux have been frequently interrupted. These accidents have occurred at the very time when the administration had laid down a number of new wires, and was giving to its service a rational organisa tion in order to meet the ever increasing demand. It is im- portant that the public should be aware at the entirely accidental character of the present irregularities, which will be promptly remedied. .-CTED3 DAY.) /LL LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Wettings at Nisi Prins, at Gruldhall.—(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Common Jury.) 1181113ig This trial was resumed at the sitting of the wart to-day. Mr. Collier, 4.0., and Mr. Mellor were counsel for th e tt. end Kr. IL Chambers, 4C., Mr. Gray, and Ift. tile for the defeedsat. Several other wituomas were called to prove further act., of alleged insanity by the defendant. Among other emu. trinities deposed to were rennin about in the public high. way without his shoes, emptying three bottles of champagne into a pail sad stirring it up with a mop to make punch, and boasting that he was the owner of gold mines. Mr. Nortem, the defendant's solicitor, acid that defendant was much better and manageable when he had some drink, ' and that on one occasion tie 'eked witness to take care of him, as he sometimes did net know what he was about. The de. isedeet's property amounted to between 3,000/. and 1,11001., sad it was burdened with a mortgage for 2,5001. When ho drew the cheque of 2,000 L in favour of the plaintiff in May ' last be had from 500 1 . to 6001. to his account at the Lon ! ; don and Westminster Bank. 1 Mr. Guild, a solicitor, who bad formerly acted for the i defendant, deposed to an interview at which the plaintiff said, that if Mr. Buten did not wish to purchase Highfield house, at Crawley, he would have no objection to let him off. Mr. Gates, a grocer at Crawley, said that in May, lid, the defendant owed him 91., and he sent him a blank liked He with permission to fill it up for any amount h e al He afterwards burnt it is the face of the defendant, and told him if he paid him he intuit do so properly. Once he ordered two 'idea of bacon and two chests of tea ; boa.. be thought the order unreasonable, he did not attend to it. Mr. Scholefield, the resident medical superintendent at the Camberwell Lunatic Asylum, said that when the defen dant was admitted on 28th May, 1562, he was of unmoral mind. He got better, and when he was discharged on 2'..'od July he was fit to be entrusted to the care of his friend. Though recovered he required are. Croorexamined—There was at all events a temporary alteration of the striate» of the brain. lie vu in a state of semi-inebriation when admitted. lost he preseuted the true symptoms of a maniacal patient, .and they remained after the intoxication raarad away. v er y likely his state might have been produced by excerire drinking. That was said to be the exciting cane. It frequently happened that a person became mail after excessive drinking but sane u soon 14 be abstained from dre nkiug. There was nothing to show that he would not become of sane mind if he kept from drink. Another witness named Gates, • builder at Crawley, aid that be saw the defendant, when droned in a Mounts shirt and a cricket cap, jump into • ditch after some dark., and catch one. ' Cross-examined—He was fond of cricket. Wittier thought the defendant did this act rather as a spree. i This was the conclusion of the evidence for the defence. Mr. Collier then addressed the jury for the plaintiff, and submitted that the defendant knew perfectly well what he ' was about when he gave the cheque.
