LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7. FROM where Brent Knoll lifts its turfed slopes above the marshes of Somersetahire and the tawny waters of the Severn sea, Archdeacon DcrrisoN sends a Christmas giNeting to the " Cathedral " Church of Christ, in Oxford." It would be doing him au injustice not to admit that his mes• sage shows little trace of any tame or superstitious acquiescence in the traditional associations of the coming season. Neither peace on earth nor goodwill towards men has much to do with the present temper of the Archdeacon of TAUNTON. To him the closing year brings with it one of those duties which everyone admits to be painful, and almost everyone takes a virtuous pleasure in dis charging—the duty of telling a friend he is in the wrong. Why this obligation should be laid upon him at this moment, considering that the crime by which it was created is more than a year old, and has already formed a frequent text for the politico-theological discourses with which Mr. DENISON is wont to improve the passing months, it is very hard to divine. We can only suppose that in the dulness of the season his mind, driven back upon itself, reverts unbidden to that scene of past triumphs and future contests, the theatre at Oxford ; and ho cannot think of the Greek Pro fessorship without feeling himself constrained to discharge an accusation at Dr. PUSET. Archdeacon DENISON has no longer any faith in Dr. PUSEy— nay, we may almost say be has no longer any faith in human nature. Dr. Prsrv's iniquity is of so deep a dye that his former friend feels his mental retina discoloured by merely looking at it. The spectacle of a High Churchman proposing the endowment of a Professorial Chair while that chair is held by Mr. JowErr has left him with an eye to which all order festers, all things here are out of joint ; it has forced him to say, " with " deep regret and bitter pain, that of all things " which have occurred in our time to shake our " faith and confidence in men, nothing has occurred "to compare with this act of EDWAZD Bocvsais " PUSEY." GEORGE ANTONY Demisox is a remarkable instance of the injurious moral influence of a career of theological partisanahip. He is, we believe, by nature an emi nently honest man, and an eminently clear headed man ; and yet in the question of the endow ment of the Greek Professorship he refuses per to do an act of simple justice, and be mixes up in hopeless confusion two absolutely different issues. The question which has already been submitted once, and we hope will be sub mitted again, to the decision of the Oxford Con vocation, has no more to do with the theological opi nions of Mr..lowrrr than with those of the Grand Lama. Whether his writings be heretical or orthodox is not the point on which the University has to pronounce ; it is only concerned with the far simpler issue, whether the labourer is worthy of his hire. Nobody denies that Professor Jowarr does his work, nobody has any fault to find with the quality of his work—the only reason alleged by the great majority of those who refuse to assign him any salary for the course they have taken is, that be holds heretical opi nions. I Suppose he does. What, weak—and shall probably have to ask often enough again before we succeed in getting an answer—has that to do with the matter ? It may be • good ground why the Crown ought not to have appointed him ; it may be • good ground why the University should take legal steps to have him removed ; but it cannot be a good ground for not paying him now that he has been appointed, and so long as he is not removed. If the opposition to the proposed statute means anything, it means that in the judgment of the University Mr. Jowtrr is orthodox enough to be • professor, but not orthodox enough to deserve 3601. a year. It is nothing to the purpose to say that the University does not withhold an income which has been paid heretofore, but only declines to create • new endowment. Technically, of course, this is 6o ; but the real question which has to be answered by every man who wishes to see justice done, apart from theological considerations of any kind whatsoever, is this—Would the en dowment of the Greek chair have been voted if the THE chair itself had been held by some other pen We do not believe that any one can feel • moment's doubt that if this had been the case there would have been no serious opposition to the pro posal which has been so often made. The effec tual reason which has all along prevented its adop tion is the dislike which a majority of Convocation feels towards Mr. JowErr's religious views. We say " the effectual reason," because we are aware that there are other objections which may no doubt have influenced some of Mr. Jowarr's opponents. What is the real weight of those objections it seems to us to be now too late to consider. Whether it is desirable for the Uni versity to endow a Regius Professorship, or whether, as Mr. FRZEMLN has very ably urged in our own columns, the obligation to do so in this in stance really rests upon Christ Church, are ques tions which might once have been pertinently asked, and one or other of which might perhaps have received an affirmative answer. That this is no longer possible is the fault of Mr. Jowtres adversaries. They have treated all other considerations as sub ordinate to the theological; and they have thereby driven those who differ from them to take an exactly opposite course. We are not disposed to under-estimate the arguments against the expe -1 ( I, ency of an independent corporation doing anything to augment the value of Crownpatronage ; still leas have we any desire to see the University impover ished, even to the extent of a few hundreds a year, in order to spare the pockets of the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church. But when • principle has once been brought into the field there is no longer any room for nice discrimination between conflicting interests. Arguments of this kind must now give way to considerations of elementary morality ; and if the pecuniary position of the University is thereby injured, the blame must rest with those who have first imported theology into the discussion, and taught Churchmen the religious duty of getting a heretic tc do their work for no thing. To those who feel that an act of moral obli quity on the part of any religions leader is in its degree an injury to the cause of religion, it is no alight satisfaction that Dr. Prate should have taken the line he has in the controversy respecting the Greek Professorship ; and our best wish for Archdeacon DENISON is that he may one day see that, though justice is only a natural virtue, it is not undeserving of a place in the catalogue of Christian graces. Abe Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Deo. 6. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena, drove in the grounds this morning. Prince's Louise went out driving, and Prince's Beatrice also took a carrisp drive. Lady Napier arrived at the Castle yesterday. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (consisting for the present of the Lords Justices Knight Bruce and Turner, Sir LAWTOOCO Peel, Sir Edward Ryan, and Sir James Ctolvile) is still engaged in the hearing of appeal@ from India and the Eastern dependencies. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston left Cambridge. house yesterday for Broodlends, Hants. Her Majesty, with the junior members of the royal family, will, it is expected, leave Windsor Castle on or about the 17th or 19th Mat., and proceed to Osborne, where her Majesty will spend the Christmas memo. The Court will probably reside about six weeks at Osborne, after which the Queen is expected to return to Windsor. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel the Hon. Jame' Macdonald, left Gloucester House, Perk-lane, on Monday afternoon, for Looniest, Willa, on a visit to the Marquis and Marchionces of Bath. The Duke of Devonshire's party at Chatsworth has separated in consequence of the death of the Earl of Carlisle. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have arrived at Trentham. Staffordshire, from Chatewasils. The Earl and Countess Russell have arrived at Pembroke Lodge, Riehmoed.park, from visiting Mr. and Lady Elisabeth Portal at their seat in Hants. Lord and Lady Taunton and Lady Caroline Laetrile@ were staying at Castle Howard when the Earl of Carlisle was taken with his fatal attack. Lord Taunton and the Hon. Mimes Labouchere were about to leave Castle Howard for London, on their way to the family mat in Somersetshire, but, owing to the remarkable change from the previous day, his lordship stayed at Castle Howard. We (Foal) have reason to believe that one of the vacant garters will be conferred on Earl Sower. The Freeman claims Sir Thomas Henry, the senior magistrate of the Bow•etreat Polioooourt, upon whom the queen has been pleased to confer the honour of knighthood, as an Irishman. He is the son of the late Mr. David Henry, one of the eminent arm of Henry, ?dollies, and by whom so many great public works in Ireland were carried out, and brother•in.law of the hon. member for Athlone, Mr. John Enrds. A letter from Mr. James Hannay appears in the Ediubargh newspapers to the effect that he has resigned Lis appointment as editor of the Edinburgh Evening Cooru ot, and that he will not be responsible for anything which may appear in ita columns after the god March neat. Mr. Ruskin delivered a lecture in the Rusholme (Manchester) Public Hall Let night, on " Kipp' TM; 11.1ri0C, " u it SW advertised, or, as the learned lecturer himself described it, on " How or whet to read." The lecture was in aid of the Rusholine Library Fund, and In every mums it was successful. The annual meeting of the Salford Working Men's College was held last night, when the government prize* aad oertificates were dietributed. Mr. Massey, the member for the borough, was present. ----- The amusements provided for the persons who are honoured with invitations toCompi4tee are of • peculiar and, except for the pigeons, somewhat innocent description. " among the diversions reserved for the guests of the Em peror," says the Opinion Norionale, an authority on such matters, "is pigeon -shooting in the park, and on this bet ting more or less high takes place. Several hundreds of pigeons are many times let fly. Many are brought down by the murderous lead ; acertain number succeed in beffilog the skill of the sportsmen, but yen may be certain that those which escape the gun will not be lost in the forest, u all, or nearly all, ultimately return to their old quarters. The sportsmen have, according to their rank, three or four guns loaded by one or two guards, who heed them in as they are wanted. The Emperor has standing behind him six sub-officers of the garrison, who are charged with the mission of loading the ten guns which are set apart for his Majesty ; but it is the Baron de Lange who delivers them into the heads of the Emperor during the sport." Accounts from Stockholm of the 28th ult, state that the hurricane at that place has been succeeded by • fall of snow in sorb quantities th►t no one can now travel except in sledges. Those, it may be as well to state, are simply the bodies of carriages taken off the wheels a•d affixed to a curved framework. Winter seems to have commenced in earnest in Russia. A letter from Cronstadt of the 23rd ult. states that the sea was then frozen there as far as the eye could reach. Siz sailing vessels, in sight on the previous evening, were frozen near Tolbsken. The communication on the ion with Oremlenbaum was practicable both on foot end on horse back. Sledging bad begun at Helsingfors, Kuopio, and St. Michael. At nothing the sea was frozen as far es could be seen from the shore. Two merchant steamers, with full cargoes, cos belonging to Finked and the other to swans, were frozen in at that port on the eve of their intended departure. The extraordinary feat of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 boon is said to have been completed in Liverpool by a woman calling herself the Australian pedestrian. This feat was once considered an herculean teak, but recentl► several women are at heat reported to have moomplisbed it. PALACI. ONE SHILLINO Day.-- TUESDAY.

CONFIRMATION OF THE SENTENCE ON THE THIRTEEN DEPUTIES. PARIS, Die. 7. The Court of Correctional Appeal delivered judg ment to-day, in the case of the thirteen deputies accused of holding illegal meetings. It confirmed the sentence pronounced by the Tribunal of First Instance. THE ITALIAN SENATE. TURIN, Du. 7. In yesterday's sitting of the Senate, General Cialdini supported the transfer of the capital from a strategic point of view. No compromise, he said, was possible between Austria and Italy. The passes of the Apennines were real Thermopyho. Gene ral Cialdines speech was received with applause. Signor Pallavicino opposed the convention, and was in favour of going to Rome and making war in Venetia. Signor Revel censured the convention from other motives, and considered the independence of the pontifical temporal power necessary. General Della Mirmora stated that he shared the views expressed by General Cialdini. DENMARK. OOPENHAGEN, Doc. 7. Dagbladet of to-day announces the arrival of the King at Kolding last evening. The same paper asserts that several thousand inhabitants of Sleewig wanted to proceedrthither to render homage to the King. This was forbidden by the authorities, and several arrests had in con sequence taken place. SPAIN. 31.thRID, Du,. 6, Evionxic. A long conference took place to-day between M. Mercier, the French Ambassador, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Epoca of to-day asserts that the Madrid cabinet has unanimously decided to support those candidates for the Presidency of the Congress who have already held that of ARRIVAL OF FRENCH TROOPS FROM MEXICO. LISBON. Dac. 6. The French steamer Ardeche has arrived here from Mexico with one regiment of the French expeditionary army. The sanitary condition of the troops is good. ITALY. (FROM NB OWN TURIN, Dec. 1. Yesterday, besides the speech of Senator Sclopis, two others, those of Senators Riootti and Durando, occupied the sitting of the Senate. Riootti is a man of undoubted talent, and he is known as one of the best historical writers of Italy. Before he was appointed Professor of History and Director of the University of Turin, Senator Ricotti held a colonel's commission in the corps of the Royal En gineers in the Sardinian army. In his speech be declared himself a decided opponent of the Franco- Italian Convention, and in the course of his remarks said he was sure that in the event of Italy marching to support Rome, France would claim part of Piedmont as compensation. At these words of the orator a tremendous cheer broke out in the public gallery and amidst the Pielmontese sena tors. A scene of confusion, unusual in the precincts of the senate, followed, which prevented the voice of the speaker from being heard during several minutes. At last order was re-established, and Senator Ricotti concluded his observations by saying that after mature reflection he had come to the determination of voting against the oonventiou, because it imposed useless sacrifices both on the country and on the army. " All I hope is that I may be in the wrong, and that future events may dispel my gloomy forebodings." Senator Ricotti's speech having produced some little impression upon the house, General La Marmora, though he said in rising he had no intention of answering the oppo nents of the bill until other members had spoken, thought it necessary to refute at once Senator Ri cotti's arguments. The ICalian premier began by refuting the general opinion which seems to prevail in Italy and abroad, that the expenses of the army are the chief cause of the disorders of the Italian finance.. "And, in deed," said La Maimora, " our expenses amount to an annual sum of 900,000,030f5. ; our income is 500,030,00015. We have, t herefore, a deficit of 400,000,000f5. gentlemen, Well, the i expenses of the army and navy amount to 200,000,000f5. It is not, therefore, a disarmament Italy requires, but a return to the system of order and economy, to the excellent traditions of the Sardinian parlia ment." As for the Venetian question, La Marmora said that Austria knew she was hated in Venetia, and that her Venetian troops could not be depended upon. Austria was perfectly convinced that Venetia is a burden to her • and were it not for her military honour she would give it up willingly. Ger many would only assist Anstrie in the defence of Venetia were Trieste to be menaced, but the aspi rations of the Italians do not extend to the posse sion of Trieste. He refuted the opinion of Ricotti that Austria being a community of 36,000,000, and Italy of only 22,000,000, the Italians would be easily crushed were they to venture upon a war against that power. The difference of race which pre vails in the Austrian empire forms the weakness of that power. Italy, on the contrary, is but one na- I tion and one race. He then passed on to refute the strategical arguments adduced by the former speaker, and said it was an error to believe that Austria was stronger than Italy on the Po. In concluding his speech La Mai more repelled almost with indignation the suggestion that France would ask for fresh compensations of territory in Italy. Such an assumption was absurd, because it was contrary to the feeling of the EmperJr and to the policy of France, nor would Europe permit it on any account. In to-day's sitting General Durando proceeded with the speech he,had begun yesterday, and brought it to a close. He accepts the convention because it cements the Franco-Italian alliance, and renders the solution of the Roman question more easy. To-day's debates were closed with a speech of Senator Pareto, who will vote against the conven tion. In the Chamber of Deputies several bills of local interest were voted. The deputies are very busy in the eifircej discussing the bill for the suppression of religious corporations, and others of less impor tance. The Chamber has been prorogued to Mon day, when, perhaps, the reporter of the committee on the religious corporations will be able to lay his report on the table. TUP.IN. DEC. 2. Senator Gualterin is the very well known writer of the history of the political events which happened in Italy from 1814 to 1849. He is, moreover, the Prefet of Genoa, and • man who since 1848 has played an important part in the great revolutions Italy barn accomplished. Marquis Guaiterio is a warm supporter of the Paris treaty, as he himself told the Senate to-day in an eloquent speech, which was chiefly remarkable for the large amount of historical and political knowledge 't displayed. In his opinion the convention will have the effect of forcing the Roman court to come to terms with Italy. After Senator Gnalterio came Duke Casa rtni Worse, • Roman prince, who, having been annoyed by the Papal police on account of his liberal opinions, emigrated into the states of his Italian Majesty, and was appointed senator. The duke is adverse to the convention, because be believes that by accepting it Italy has recognised the temporal power of the Pope, and implicitly re nounced Rome as her capital. Baron Galotti, Neapolitan senator, rose in his turn to speak in sup port of the treaty. He made a thoroughly catholic speech, which was so eloquent that it roused the unanimous enthusiasm of the house. I was deeply impressed with the unmistakeable catholic sympathy evinced by the Senate on this occasion. The most elaborate speech of to-day's sitting was, however, delivered by Senator Manna, the Minister of In dustry and Commerce in Minghetti's cabinet. Senator Manna, of course, spoke in suppoit of the convention. The insurrectionary attempt of the Venetian patriots is really at an end. Not only has the fact been officially announced by the Governor of Venice, but it is confirmed by Captain Tolazzi himself, who, lam glad to say, has succeeded in passing through the snowy paths of the Tyrol and in reaching Italian territory not far from the village of Limone. Lees fortunate than Tolazzi, his companion Andreozzi, an old refugee whom everybody respected, having fallen ill through the great fatigues of the journey, died in a village of the mountain of Carina. Though the revolutionary attempt of the Venetians may be considered at an end, I am not of the opinion of those who think that it will not be renewed next spring. The seizure of arms made five days ago by the Austrians at Zaita near Mantua, the gunpowder sequestered by the Italian government at COMIC. duo, and other facts which have come to my know ledge, 'Jake me believe that the party of action is busy preparing for a new attempt. In the Vene tian question the party of action is certain to get the support of the whole of Italy. TURIN, Dec. 3. I hear that various parliamentary influences are at work with a view to get rid of the La Marmon' cabinet, so as to satisfy certain ambitions. Although these rumours are afloat, and are even believed, I am of opinion that the present cabinet will not be turned out while Baron Ricasoli and Signor Rattazzi persist is giving it their support. A ministerial crisis would be dangerous just now. When the government has been established at Florence, when a new parliament has been elected, then political parties will be more defined, the conservative majority will be formed anew, and then, but only then, it will be perhaps useful to form a cabinet which may answer to the exigencies the country will have manifested during a general election of its representatives. To-day's debates were opened by Senator Gal vagno, a decided and obstinate opponent of the con vention. I am not going to repeat all the orator maid, for he said nothing which had not been uttered over and over again. Count Ponca di San Mar tino, a Piedmontese senator, who exercises a well deserved influence in this country, spoke also against the bill, which he considers disastrous to Italy. The great event of the day, however, was a paper written on the question by Massimo D'Azeglio, which, on account of this illustrious senator's illness, was read by his friend, Senator Moscuzza. Though D'Azeglio concluded by declaring that he should vote for the bill, my impression, and that of others who listened to,,his paper, was, that the writer believed both the convention and the transfer of the capital altogether a bad business. The only reason which seems to have induced D'Azeglio to vote for the bill is, that he hopes when ones the capital is settled at Florence to see hie countrymen contented and happy. After the reading of D'Azeglio's paper, it was a difficult task toattract the attention of the Senate. Count John Arrivabene, the well-known economist, succeeded, however, in deli vering an excellent speech amidst the most profound silence of the Senate. Count Arrivabene's speech ended to-day's sitting, which everybody hopes will be, if not the last, at leant the last but one. General Cialdini will speak on Motday, and I think the Senate will be able to vote on Tuesday. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nog mit own comarmtnerr.) TIMIDAT EVIENO. It is understood that the annual " Exposition of the Finances of the Empire,' now in preparation, will contain not only a list of the great public works executed, or put in course of execution, during the year, but also the complete programme of other undertakings of general utility, the necessity for which has been recognised by the administration, and which it has determined to carry into effect within a given number of years. Improvement of navigation, the enlarging of ports, and encourage ment to agriculture occupy the largest place in the programme, which has been drawn up with the assistance of the prefects and government engineers in all the departments of France. This is the old question of the " Public Works Bank" cropping up again in another form. The financial expo. 4 will doubtless contain the results of the compromise which M. Fould was constrained to make with M. Behic, the Minister of Public Works. The official funeral service of Mr. Dayton was performed at 2 this afternoon, at the American church in the Rue de Berri,:whither the body bad been removed on Sunday last. The attendance was very large. The Emperor was represented by Baron de Leine, master of ceremonies, and Prince Napoleon by General Franconnihre. M. Drouyn de Lhnys, Lord Cowley, and most of the members of the Corps Diploinatique were present Mr. Dayton's only son was the chief mourner, and he was supported by Mr. Pennington, Principal Secretary of Legation ; Mr. Bigelow, the American Consul, and Mr. Aspinall, of New York. Not only did most of the Northern Americans in Paris throng to the church, but a great many Southerners were also present The deceased was universally es teemed, and has not left an enemy behind him. Even the French government journals, which are most hostile to the Northern cause, pay a tribute to Mr. Dayton's high character and amiable manners. A detachment of the 03rd of the line under the command of a lieutenant-colonel, rendered military honours. The body will remain in the church till Saturday, when it will be transported to Havre, and placed on board • steamer bound for New York. There was a talk, some time since, of creating the Marquis de Couronnel, attachd to the French Embassy at St. Petersburg, Duke of Laval ; but the legitimist journals now say, with great glee, that in consequence of objections made by the Duchess de Levis Mirepoix, who descends from the ancient family bearing that title, the marquis will be disappointed. A letter from Rome in the Casette de France says : Various rumours have been in circulation as to the rea sons which led to the sudden countermand of the projected visit to Rome of the Grand Duke, the heir to the Russian crown. It is known that many efforts have been made to induce the Holy See to abandon the Polish cause, aa all other sovereigns have done, and the glorious persistency with which the generous pontiff has remained the sole organ of the protests of the martyr nation are well koown also • Very recently M. de tderandorff urged both Cardinal Antooelli and the Pope to pretnille that at least no manifestations in favour of Poland should be made during the Csarewitch's stay at Rome. The Holy Father refused even temporarily to abandon his heroic Polish chilling. It was in consequence of his &newer to M. de if eyendorrs overtures that the announced journey to Rome was countermanded. The Csarewitch will remain at Turin. The last bulletin of M. Mocquard's health is thus worded :—" A worse night than the last ; to material change." The Bourse continues firm. Rents for cash rose 10c., and for account closed without change at fisfr. 90c. Mobilier rose lir. 25c. The bullion in the Bank of France is said to be steadily aug menting. The Laity News is seized.

Baum have published a circumstantial &coast, filling two sides GI a folio sheet closely printed, of the various bills of exchange, the gold, silver, and notes represented to have been stolen, and offering a reward of 503/. to anyone asordin4 information leading to the reco very of the property. This document resites that the pre mises in question were burglarionsly entered between the hours of 9 p.m., December 3, and 9 a.m., Der comber b, and property, of which a list is given, stolen, and it slates that the reward will be given to anyone affording mob information as will lead to its re covery. The primary object with Mews. Baum, and not onuaturally, animism to be the recovery of the lost treasure; but it is usual on such occasion to make the payment of a reward depend upon the apprehension and conviction of the thieves. The robbery excites much public' interest, and the prevailing impression appears to be that it was com mitted by some one or more persons familiar with the pre mimes, andl was the result of a long and careful premedita tion. The general belief also is that the thieves bad con cealed themselves on the premises before they were closed for the night on Saturday evening : The character and appearance of the crowbars found in the house after the disoovery of the robbery puzzle the police not a little. They are not the nest little, but still formidable, instru ment of that kind which burglars can camel about their clothes, and can often put in the breast pocket of • coat ; but they are ponderous weapons—three of them at lest—being about 4ft. in length and of enormous thickness and strength. They are, in feet, regular crowbars, ouch as masons use; but they appear to be quite new, or to have been little used, if at all. Then, again, what is to be said of the door of the iron safe having been removed by the hinges, and the lock inside of it broken in pieces, and yet no marks having been found about the safe to lead to the inference that the crowbars had been need in priniof it open ? The whole a ff air, in fact, is • mys bay from beginning to end. The firm have published • list of the bills of exchange which have been stolen, with the names of the drivers and acceptors and the days on which they will arrive at maturity ; but a regular, professional thief never encumbers himself with articles of • nature rilculated to connect him with a robbery in which he has been concerned, and which, moreover, he could never, as in this case, ton into money, or only at greet risk to him self. That is another circumstance, among others, suggest ing the belief that the robbery was not committed by pro fessional burglars, but rather by novices, and, if so, then it will be all the more easy to discover the thieve., sooner or later. It is needles to state that the detective police of the City have been put in motion. By them, or for thew. credit is often taken for being far more salute and skilful than their rivals in Scotland-yard. Messrs. Biome write to us aa follows :—" The report of our lola from the late robbery on our premises is much exaggerated. We are glad to say that most of the securities, being negotiable by transfer only, will eventually 'be replaced. The actual loss in coin, notes, lc, will not exceed 3,000/. In the meantime our boast« proceeds as usual ; and the insertion of this will reaseure our numerous friends and connexions as to our position." THE Hales P 0180141140 Cosa—A letter from Berne, dated Dec. 4, after giving en amount of the disco. very of the bodies of Dr. Hermann Demme and Miss Flora Ticmpy, says that several letters written in pencil were in the room. One, addressed to the landlord, assured him that the small debt due by the travellers would be paid by their family. Another, written in German, was directed "To my poor Father, Demme," and requested pardon for the sorrow the writer bad brought upon his family. A third, in the handwriting of the young lady, contained only a single line—" Hermann has killed himseß, and I will follow." Other poplin proved the identity of the parties. The Swiss government has claimed the bodies, which will be removed for interment to Berne. ___.--- MrLLERISM AT BERLIN. —A letter from Berlin, dated this ith, sue :—" Last night a public lecture was deli vered before a crowded audience, in a fashionable Numbly room, tinter den Linder, the subject of which was, ' The Re cant Judicial Murder of Franz Muller.' If Englishmen think this subject has yet been forgotten in Germany they very much mistake the character of the Germans. Not a day has passed for the last fortnight but the most respectable organs of lthe press in all parte of Germany have published some thing or other oo this topic, emanating either from the German Legal Protection Society or from some German resident is London. Extravagant statements and ungueranteed sseertions of anonymous cor respondents are being published day after day on this topic, and everything thus published is written by people who are labouring under the firmed conviction of Muller's innocence. The ignorant public, without any in dependent means of criticising what is thus laid before them, accepts all se gospel, and has not a doubt now that Muller's execution was a judicial murder. The Koluiuche Zeg I ag but a day back bed upwards of three columns more matter on this topic. To-day it again comes forward with another critique, ending with the expression of the convic tion that ' the execution of Muller was • piece of brutality which was perhaps only poe'ible in Eng land.' The Kkine Rertilionar, the won't)* comic paper of the Feudal party, has two cartoons, headed • Al- Woo's Satisfaction,' in one of which John Bull is looking with indignation over the North Sea at Austria and Prussia engaged in killing the Damn, while in the other plate John Bull is represented as a hangman standing on the platform of the gallows, front which a large capital letter "M" is suspended over the heads of a drunken, riotous crowd below. I thoroughly realised the full signilicaoce of what the Frenchman means when be speaks of a querelle d'Allenisods' until I had witnessed the manner in which the Muller question has been treated in this country." Tits TALW:D.—A Vienna letter of the 2nd says : —" The College of Rabbis in this capital has just made an important declaration. Is answer to an interrogation by the Criminal Tribunal of Vienna, whether the Talmud is or is not a canonical book of the synagogue, the College of Rabbis replied that the Talmud is not a canonical book in the sues which the catholic church gives to that word, but that nevertheoew the part which contains the preersiptioes (called lialaclaisehcr Mein, with the exception of the metric. bons necessitated by the conditions of the State, has the force of lam for the religious practices of the Jews ; whilst the explanatory portion of the Talmud (called Hagadischer Theft) has so importance except for arcbsiologists, who study the social life and literature of the Jews. A new Jewish Synagogue will shortly be built at Ottakviog, near Vienna. This will make the third sew synegogiu in the course of a year. If this continues, Vinous, the capital of a catholic monarchy, will soon have as many sYnaffokosil as churches. Judaism is making great advances in Austria." CLERGYMEN'S Votes.—The parson throat is not the malady of necessarily loud talkers or energetic speakers; it is not induced by tad efforts in the pulpit ; it is not brought on by tanßc denunciations delivered in the trumpet-mil, or mild entreaties insinuated in the date-stop of the human organ. It is simply and purely brought on by men persisting is preaching in an assumed unnatural voice—a conventiosel voice, imagined, I suppose, to be the most appropriate tone to call sinners from their 'wicked- DON and teach them to live better. Too are startled by my explanation, but grant me a brief hearing. Who are the victims of this throat affection ? Not the high-sad dry old rubicund parsons, with bright frank eyes and well rounded chins, neat of dress, knowing in horse-leek, strong in horticulture. These hale and healthy fellows have one voice, just as they have owe nature ; the same not, that summons the gardener to look after the dahlias cries to the congregation to take care of their soul*.

All " Coleneo," lam told, is exempt, which is the more singular, as the 111114 who deny everything and oppose everyone are necessarily called on for vocal efforts of the most forcible kind. This is remarkable. It is, then, amoogst the more distinctively pious of the clergy that the disease commits its ravages—thole who, by distioctive epithet, are called Evangelicals. Now there are numbers of these—vast numbers—who labour throughout their whole lives, and labour arduously, untouched by the affection.

These men, eager to emulate the usefulness of their superior brethren, but on displaying in themselves the splendid success around them, cannot rue to the intellectual heights of their more giftea oeighboors, and are driven to imitate not the well-argued statement—not the clops narrative of fsots—not the Ms pinioned appeal, or the startling exhortation, but simply the to of voice in which th ese were conveyed.

This morning from an early hour the Agriesl. taral-hall was again densely crowded. This is evidently the farmers' day, and it was cry to distinguish in the throng which crowded every avenue of the show, the arcades, and the galleries by their ruddy countenances, and their anti• " Butting" appearance—the large mar of our country cousins from the denizens of the metropolis.

An inquiry wee held by Mr. Humphreys, Mid dlesex coroner at the Iron Heed Tavern, Okiswellntre e t, St. Luke's, las t night, respecting the suicide of Mr. Thoma. Shackell, aged 49 yrs. Mrs. Frances Shackell said that deceased was a hatter carrying on business at No. 75, Chiswell-street. He was latterly desponding because he wished to sell the business, b u t bi n landlord would not accept of any tenant who would buy the stock. He was reserved and would not tell witn ess anything. He slept by himself in the parlour behind the shop. Witness last saw him on Saturday night. She knocked for him at dinner time on Sunday, but no answe r was given, and she thought he had gone out. After charzit in the evening, however, she became alarmed, and the par lour was broken open, and he was found dead on the sofa. Mr. W. Mouroe, a lodger, said that when the parlour was broken open the deceased was lying dead, undressed, an th e sofa There was a cup on the table, by the side of wh:ch was a piece of paper, on which was written "Beware of the poison in the tea-cup on the bob." No doubt he Ind ia. tended to place the tea-cup on the hob after he drank of the poison ; but the action of the drug wu too quick. There was also on a file a letter, which was as follows : " You wad Dot open my body. I have taken poison. and Mr. has been the cause of it. For I have offered to get hirt a tenant who would purchase the stork, ti tunes, tee. ; but he has refused to aooept any tenant, for the ex pire pupae' to ruin me. ' Saturday eve, Dec. 3,1864,1 i o'clock p.m. "F. SHACKELL. "My last words are—be very kind to one another. As for me, I die in perfect peace." The witness said that the deceased's shop bad been broken into a year ago, and he had ever mince slept in the parlour behind it, say lag, " If they come again I will be there as well as themselves." He used to lock himself in, Sod not answer even his wife. Witness believed he was not of quite sound mind. Dr. Evan Evans said that the deceased had poisoned himself with cyanide of potassium. A paper of that poison lay on the table, and the deceased leas apparently so anxious that no one should taste it in mistake that he had pinned on it a large label "Poison." The cyanide of potassium was need in the arts, and was at present sold without any inquiry brans made as to what purchasers wanted of it. It was quits as deadly as prorate' acid. A clerk of the landlord said that that gentleman was not in town, and he (the clerk) knew nothing about the re- foal of a tenant. The house was let to a Sir. Parker, but deceased paid the rent. The Coroner having summed up. The jury returned a verdict of • Suicide while of unsound mind. REV. DR, GUTHRIE'S HORSE ATTACKED BY BOAR. On Monday, in the Edinburgh Sheriff Court, Alexander Dods, gardener, Grisenend, was charged, at the instance of the Procurstor-fiscal, with the culpable neglect of duty in allowing a boar to be at large. The Rev. Dr. Guthrie, who was the first witness called, deposed as follows:--On the afternoon of Saturday, the 19th of November, my son was driving me slow the road near to Greeoend, about 3 o'clock. When I was pass ing three or four houses, driving at a moderate pre in the middle of the road, which is not very broad, I saw • larp white boar come out of a close, followed by a boy. The boar was loose. The instant I raw the animal I was struck with his savage appearance, foam on each tusk ; and having beard and read of boars attacking and ripp , ng up horses I immediately cried to my son, " Whip on, for that boar will rip op our hoer if you don't." He tried to do No, but the boar came right across the road, and, as far u I could see, got immediately below the belly of the horse, and in a little while he came out at the other side. We drove oe, not knowing that our horse was wounded ; but on reatibiog Liberton Mains, where I wee to pick up some friends who were writing for me, they ex claimed, " What ails your horse and on leaping out of my rankle I found my bone steadier; in • pool of blood. I found a peat gash of a wound on his thigh, and a long wound on his belly. My hone has been under the vets i nary surgeon, and lam glad tory be is mending. I wish to add that I merely gave information of this car for the sake of security being given against anybody being attacked by each an animal, and not to punish anybody. The wonder was we were not all killed, as there is not • horse in fin hundred that would not have reared and kicked, and thrown us all pri the road. Dr. Outhries son gave similer evidence. The accused called his servant, who was in chirp of the bear, and another woman who was at the place at the time of the occurreacis, both of whom gave evidence to the effect that the horse alum quickly along the read upon the boar before it could get out of the way, and that that am the cause of the accident, as the animal was quiet and in. offensive.

JOHN Itoor.soos.—lt is with mach regret we have to ancotioc• the death of this ma , able man, which warred oa Friday last, at his house at Highgate, after an illness of long duration. Mr. Joke Rogerson, whose name will be familiar to most salad. turista, was born at Sotby, in the county of Lincoln, on the 11th of November, 1782. Sotby lies right in the heart of the Wolds, and is almost central between Hoencastle and Loath. Mr. Rogerson had been thoroughly instructed sa • practical farmer • and some of hie successful rayed. made is the dr illing of wheat made no little sensa tion at that comp/restively early period in the history of improved agriculture. He was also considered &capital judge of stock, and remarkable for telling the weight and quality of both beasts and sheep before they were slaughtered. He originated the Mark Lane Express, and was also greatly instrumental I. the establishment of the Royal Farmers' Insurance Offioe, of which be was solicitor, having daily qualified sod passed for that profession after some years residence in London. He was well identified with the other institutions of airianitaire, and had long been • governor of the Royal Agri:llll%4nel Society, in the formation of which he took a deep interest. He was also a member of the London Farmers' Club, although his advanced age bad not latterly permitted his attendance at any of these or similar gatheriogs. In fact, first impressions had their full weight and influents, over Mr. Rogerson 's useful career. The sou of a farmer, and himself thoroughly educated for the same path in life, all his great bosses and ampiratioes still centred in the cause. No matter whether the some of his labours might be town or country, he was still thanking of what he might do for agriculture.—Mark Lane Nona.

It appeared that on Mondry week the deceased was in charge of an engine belongio6 to a goods train, and the engine was shunted from the maim line into the Oxley siding, in order that an excursion train from Birkenhead to the Birmingham Cattle Show, due at the siding about 10.45 a.m., might pass. When the train came in right the deceased was on the main line picking up some pieces of coal. The engineer of the excursion train duly sounded DU whistle, sod seeing a man on the line shut off Mom, and the deceased's stoker shouted to him to get out of the waY. but before he could do so he was struck by one of the buffers of the engine and knocked with his head WM*" hie owe engine, thereby sustaining frightful injure., namely--his upper and lower jaw were (rotated, hu me was broken, his left eye was burst, sod both his arms were brained.
