LONDON, 841V1D4Y, OCT. 9. • SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS, sustaining the mats of the day's Rooms, is pub- Oohed every evening daring the Sporting Sewn, at al: o'clock. Tun question of the Prussian Regency ham at length been settled—not a moment too moan. The Court party has been compelled to give way before the rapidly-growing diaooutent and indignation of the people. The KIN°, whose entire incapacity for the affairs of government, whose hopeless and pro strate imbecility of mind and body, has long been a notorious fact, has at length been allowed by those who surround him, to resign that semblance of regal authority which had for some time only existed as a mischievous engine for working the designs of the' reactionary party. The Prince of PRO:11A, who for the last year had consented to act as a mere mandatory of the Royal authority, has steadily and honourably persisted in refusing any further extension of that humiliating and anomalous delegation of power. A crisis had accordingly arrived in which the alterna tives were, either that some other party should be Sound willing to &crept the delegation which the Prince declined, or that the Prince himself, in com pliance with the requisition of the Chambers and the general voice of the ration, should be invested with the Regency. The embarrassment and clangor likely to attend on either of these alternatives hays been happily avoided. The Breuz party has sac_ embed, and a royal decree has appeared, empower. lag the Prince to carry on the government as Begat, with independent powers and according to his ewe views, till the KING be perfectly restaged to health. When armee history shall reveal to future times the innermost movements of the Court Of FILEDFAICK WILLIIW, it will probably appear that this ultimate step had not been submitted to without • Revere and obstinate strngele. Recent proceedings at Berlin had evinced no disposition on the part of the reactionary heti= to abet+ one heir's-breadth of their high-handed pretensions. Oe the contrary, a degree of repressive rigour had been exercised to which the capital of Promia had been for NOW time unaccustomed. Several of the more liberal among the native journals had been seized, and the lame honour had been conferred on a distinguished English newspaper, in whose column the state of the Regency question had been elaborately discussed by a well-informed correspon dent, end made the subject of able and indignant editorial comment. !This did not look like yielding ; it rather bore the aspect ofa determined and despe rate attempt to defy the dangers of the crisis and browbeat the rising spirit of the nation. To what awe it le to be ascribed that wiser mussels at length prevailed ; how it came to pain that the former flat terers of the £iiso, the creatures of the Queue, and the melon of the Ireusparty, became convinced that further resistance was hopelessly useless and immi nently perilous, we neither know nor care to know. It moat have indeed required all Ui# besotted blindness which so often foreruns the ruin of arbitrary power, not to have discerned long ago that the state of things which has for the lot year meted is Prussia could not possibly be perpetuated without fatally undermining the very fabric of the State. It wadi not without difficulty that a hag and Court, which in the middle of the 19th century recalled the worst easmeries of the worst of the Swaim, *sold sustain Itself amid the growing Ineptness, of the most cultivated people of modern Europe. Imagine J• 21111 I. with his grotesque pedantry, his belief in the divine right of kings, his imbecility, and his irreeolutisa, called to rule over a people imperious of civil rights and eager for eonstitutOnal privileges, In an age of railways and electric telegraph+, of difhoed intelligence and revolutionary theories. Suppose the anachronistic Monarch turrouuded by a party whose every sentiment and whose every act was en outrage against the predominant tendencies and wishes of the nation. Suppose this feeble Musa to be visited by the hand of GOD with otter and imapasitating debility of body and mind, and this reactionary party still bent on ruling in his Ease, determined to keep the nation in dark ness under the shadow of a throne whose occupant had become a mere " metaphor of empire." The reader who has supposed all this will have succeeded In representing to himself the actual condition of Prussia—of Prussia which hes for the last year been nominally ruled by the Ellso's brother, but really ruled by the Qusts and the Court faction. It is over now, and the nation can breathe freely again. From the miserable nightmare of that igno minious servitude it is at all events released. The Prince of Pecesu is Repeat, " with independent " Pours," free to rule " according to his own " views." He his ceased to be in name the manda tory of the Huta, in reality the reluctant slave of the Court party. It rem a i ns to be men whether be will It to the height of hie new position . Time who ha ve en j oye d the best opportunities of forming a judgment on his charades , represent him ma man of average abilities, moderate views, and honest in hie purposes. It he be true to himself and the hopes of the nation, his assumption of the reins of power must prove fatal to the ascendancy of those zealots of reaction whose info. ence wee so unhappily paramount with his brother. The Kreus party Mast be understood on all heads to have received its death blow. It does sot neemeerily follow that the MaarzurreL Ministly will be immediately displaced. The cautious temper el thePrinee may very probably indispose him for any abrupt energise of power which is not rendered abso lutely necemary by a regard to his own self-respect and the pelslie feeling of the nation. Those who have had the best opportunities of forming a judg meet of M. hirorexureat. are probably not far wrong when they represent him as a laborious and supple ;man of business, a master of bureaucratic forms and official routine, incapable of large view', and unburdened with sincere convictions. A Minister of this stamp would experience no great difficulty in adapting himself to the views of the new ruler, and it is quite possible that the Prince might find it convenient, at all events for a time, to avail him self of the practised dexterity which M. MairrEtrr rm. has acquired during his long tenure of office. Upon these and other kindred points, however, the progress of events can alone enlighten as. One thing, at all events, is clear. The destinies of the Prussian people, se of every other people, rata ulti mately with itself. The cessation of the intolerable state of things which has just come to an end is, no doubt, as far as it goes, a subject of oongramla tion. But the battle of constitutional freedom has still to be fought out before Prussia can take her tree place among the nations. It is principally because we regard the advent of the Prince of PILUNIA to the Regency as affording a freer oppor tunity and a more favourable field for pressing for ward the political claims of the Prussian people, that we in England can be asked to express satiate°. tion at his accession to power. Until the contrary is proved we may at least be permitted to trod that he has not failed to derive some solid lessons of practical wisdom from the example of that great mother-land of freedom with whose constitutional Sovereign he has so recently become connected by the most en dearing of family ties.

" The Mayor of Oreveseed." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Crum ma worm oominoinnatT4 PARIS, FRIDAY ETINTX(I. Th. Emcees is going to the Chilone Camp, to be present at the final review which the Emperor intends to pass on Sunday. It is rumoured that her Majesty intends to appear on horseback on this occssioa, and that she will wear a splendid silver calms over her riding habit. Their Majesties will go together to Rheims, where preparations are making to give them a grand reception. The Emperor is to lay the first stone of a new church there. The Pays of this evening announces that the Emperor will return to Paris in the afternoon of Tuesday. The latter statement is scarcely com patible with the announcement repeatedly made that the Duke of Malakors marriage, to be cele brated in the presence of their Majesties, take place on the 12th. Al I said, a little while ago, I think it will be a day or two later. The minim° ceremony will be performed not, us was at one time supposed, in the church of the Madeleine, but is the imperial chapel at St. Cloud. Considerable curiosity is felt to know whether the chapel will be opened to the public. I apprehend not. People laugh amazingly in Paris at the melan choly example of the extent to which flattery can be carried, afforded by the account in yesterday's Moniteur of the Emperor's doings at Chilons. The official journal speaks of the manoeuvres commanded by his Majesty as a " remarkable progress in the art of war," and expresses reverential astonishment at the " calm" which the Emperor maintained while giving the word of command. for such wonderful performances. While writing I hear that the Duke of Malakoff's marriage will be altogether a court ceremony, in which the public will have no part. The Marabsl has twenty tickets to dispose of for his own friends. The other invitations will be issued in the name of the lisperar. A rumour of the day, which, although it does not seem very probable, has forced its way into print, is that the Emperor and Empress are going to pay a visit to the Pope in Rome, in March next. The Empress, it is said, made a vow long since to make a pilgrimage to Rome. It is said that on their return their Majesties will stay some time with the King of Sardinia. at Turin. The P►eese and the Petrie publish the following letter, expressing Lord Malmesbury's opinion touch ing the validity of the rights of the French Con oessionairsa to the Nicaragua Canal.

The Prone hears from London that the Porto limes affair occasions considerable excitement in political circles, and that Mr. Disraeli has come to London from the country in consequence of the news, which has taken the ministry by surprise.

A correspondent sends us the following account of the recent successful submersion of another electric cable between England and Holland: It may not be uninteresting to your numerous readers and the public generally to be made acquainted with some few particulars concocted with the laying of the electric telegraph cable between England and Holland, which wee successfully accomplished a few days since. This new cable was manu factured by Mena Glare and Elliott, of Greenwich, and consist' of four copper wires, coated with rune percha, and covered with an wires, MU No. 00, thus making a cable 5 inches in circumference, and 11 inch in diameter, end weighing 8 toes 12 owt. to the mile. The vessel selected for the laying of the cable was the William Cory. an iron screw steamer of 918 tons, commanded by Captain Donaldson, and peculiarly adapted for the purpose in which it 1•1111 engaged. Oa Saturday, Sept. 18, 1858, the William Cory left Green wich, having on baud some 160 miles of cable, to be laid between Dunwich, on the comet of Suffolk, and Zenvocet on the Datah coast. The entire proceedings were placed under the direction of Mr. Canning, engineer, of the firm of Glean and Elliott. It was undetermined at staring whether a commencement should be made at Lanvoort or at Dunwich ; it wee, however, eventually found design& to commence at the former place. Accordingly, on the afternoon of the 21st, the end of the cable was landed by means of a couple of fighters, end at 2 o'clock on the following morn leg the stem was got up, and the min oat of the cable begs& This was affected by means of two large drums on the gutter deck, misted by a jockey wheel is front, and further aided by a bobbin or round wheel flied over the hatchway to run the cable out of the hold. By these simple and basxpeneive mean the cable was payed oat at the rate of from lost to Mix miles per hoer, with the win blowing hard end a beery sea. All went well until the William Cory arrived at Danwich about six o'clock on the morning of the 23rd Sept., having succemfully laid the 140 miles of cable in 40 hours, it having been expected to occupy from 10 to 14 days.

GlLLwrr, in proposing "The Health of his Grace the Doke of Rutland, as president of the association sod lord lieutenant of the county," alluded briefly to the loss which the essoantion bad sustained since their last meeting in the death of the late duke. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the oompffinent, expressed the hope that he nrght be enabled to follow in the steps of his lamented father, cad that he might be enabled to do his duty, however humbly sad inefficiently, in the sphere in which he had bum placed. (Cheers.) Ile to propose " Prosperity to the Waltham Agricultural ." (Loud cheers.) The toast having been drunk ami loud cheers, the various Temen were awarded, after which Mr. NORMAN proposed "Thellealth of the Members for the County," observing that, though party politics were properly excluded from their meetings, those - who took a part in po litics were not. The toast was drunk amid loud cheering. Lord J. MANNERS, M.P., responded, and after some local sald—Pulitim being most properly excluded from con• sideration at such meetings as the prement-1 mesa party politics, and so little having occurred &trim the moist se non of parliament worthy the attention of an agricultural amenably, except in a party point of view, I really am at • loss to my anything in my capacity as amber far this division of the county. There was only one measure that affected in any materiel degree the intensts cc feelings of the tural classes, and that was the bill for the collection of cultural statistics. The reception that bill met, however, was such as to preclude the necessity for my saying any whatever upon the subject. (Laughter and cheers) But my brother has tonohed upon • subject which un doubtedly attracted far more attention than any of the mea sures introduced in the late seasion of parliament, or which had any connexion with the subjects which have brought us bare to-day. He his said-and l entirely coincide in every thing he said In respect of Cherbourg—that he did not see in the great and magnificent works which were there presented to our view anything to occasion unnecessary alarm in the minds of the people of this country. But, although I quite sires with him that there is nothing to create alarm, I confess that I did read with pain and surpries some of the observations which have been made in public by other membereof that illustrious body, to which I, thanks to your kindness, belong. (Hem, bear.) I can understand • man being so essentially John Bullish in feeling as to ab stain from going to Cherbourg at all, but I cannot under stand gentlemen in the position of members of parliament witnessing this magnificent exhibition, receiving, as we all did, the most hearty and cordial reception, not only from the Emperor of the French, bat from every one of his subjects there t, seeing the medial and amicable feelings which all classes of that vast assemblage, end then coming CZ - 1;d venting all kinds of unmanly sneers and woman against a great, a gallant, and a friendly people. (Loud cheers.) So far from teeing in the erection of the great works at Cherbourg any proof of ill-will towards England, or any sign of impending hostility, I am myself disposed to IRO in the cordiality, frankness, and openness with which all the works were submitted to the inspection of the whole people of England had been disposed or able to go thither. I amlepoeed to see In these great works a pledge rather far future pesos, inasmuch as they afford on the one side, with the proper preparations which this country and her Mase aty government may take on the other, a natural means of Winos from hostile aggro,- sion, and thus give a pledge and security for future peace. (Cheers.) I mentioned just now one point by way of illus trating the social advantages of these =swings. There is another to which I am not less disposed to attach great Im portance at the present day, namely, the great question of education. We all know bow the education of the children of the pemantry of this country has received a greet and Feasible ioffuence from the speeches whisk have been made, and the suggeations which have bees throws oat at meetings of this kind. (Hear, hear.) Bat so mach has been mid on that subject, and so certainly do I think the progress of edu cation in its common and hacknied sense, to be mowed in the country, that I will dwell no longer upon it, further than to say that I hope in oar zeal and our endeavours to promote the education of the intellect, we shall not altogether lose sight of the education of the body of the children of the labouring classes. (Hear, hear.) I attach such im portance to the manly and athletic games mod pastimes which have heretofore characterised all classes of our English community, that I would say to all men—how ever wise, however stupid, however rMh, however old— " Stimulate and foster every manl and athletic game, oxen meoicing from marbles andascending up to fox-hunting, and if there be anything above and beyond fox-hunting, then teach the labouring classes that." (Cheers.) Tend them religiously, sad from the lowest and the humblest up to the matureet and the highest of our national 'porta and pastimes, lot us endeavour to promote them one and all. (Load cheers.) I say this because I have noticed with pain and concern • heresy, as It teems to me, growing and i in this country, the upshot of which will hei, tamlg= will be divided into two greet olsease—these who spie and those who study. It is to promotes ems sash eseesseses tion as this that we find that adashalle ember sad oferliag member of parliament, Mr. Bright, reemememihri t ij thim r•- don to the whiskey-drioldng, joint-Sock-boa people of Glasgow ; and we have the Veen dr= organ, as it nerd to be called, of public opinion in England, warning all the noblemen of England out of the bunting-field. As many present know, I am no great rider, and do not profess to give much time or attention to hunting ; but this Ido know, that I never jog home from the hunting Geld without feeling that I have wen or heard something which has added somewhat to my smell stook of knowledge, and without rejoicing as a politician—of course Ido not use the term in • part sense—in the exist ence of that manly and Invigoratin g pastime. (Cheers.) Then, gentlemen, say I, long may there be a race of yeomen in England who, like my friends the Guys of Hatton, the Vincent. of Botteefotd, or the Bland. of Marlborough, ran carry off the prize in the cattle show yard and the brush at the bred of the bunt. (Loud °beers.) I have said that in the firstl session of parliament there was not much to attract the attention of an agricultural assemblage. The future of course is dark, but at the same time it la more than probable that the question most likely to interest an agricul tural assemblage In the next seldom et parliament will be the much-diactiesed question of parliamentary reform. Upon that gaieties, of course, my lips are waled, and I can only my that by one of those curious tares of the wheel which mechanism modem polities. it seems to be reserved for a tory government to reader less anetualons, and to irks better adapted to the growing (out lines*, property, sod numbers of the community, the Whig Reform Act of 1892. (Cheers.) I can only my that her Majesty's government well enter upon that most serious teak with the single and earnest endeavour so to amend the re ps mutation of the people in parliament se to secure the beet electoral body and the beet representative body which an be obtained for the people of this country. (Cheers.) Bat, gentlemen, after all, hurting., registration courts, polling booths, speeches from the hustings, end even spathes ta par liament, and divisions consequent thereupon, are only a ' means to an end, and that and is the good self-government of a Christian and air aimed oesaantaity. (Lend chem.) Without deprecating other waits and other ways of life, every day I live more and more convinces me that the art and practice of agriculture fa the safest, the surest, and the most beneficent of all the industries fa whisk the irk end capital of men can be employed. (“ Haar. and cheers.) We shell do well Mem I think, as I ventured to say at the oats*: to keep alive by every means in our power the cerporate cha racter of our relations one to another, and I know et no mesas—of no human means—which mu so lady impress upon all our besets the great truth that landlord and imam, farm servsat and husbandman, clergy and laity, all form one great Christian brotherhood, as them periodical meetings, at which the respective excellence of different men in different branches of agricultural pursuits are brought prominently into notice, and which tend to keep alive in all ear hearts the great fact that every proems, at mem season of the year, in the pursuit of agricultural progress, bleeds harmoniously Into one beneficent whole, (Cheers.) I leave it to glom mare qualified then I am in speak amen the practical sub jects which In reality have brought as Imre to-day ; but, I it might not be anise if I veaturid to resell to your thought of dm gnat and =daring heasfits which, I be lieve, .apply M thd asemew se a whale, in a social point of view, -spitallesal ,sr*p sada es his.

Several other toasts, of purely local interest, were subse quently proatteed, and the proceedings terminated. ROYAL SOUTH BUCKS AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. - The anneal Meeting of this Society, of 'which the Queen and the Priam Consort are patrons and liberal sup parties, was held on Wednesday. In the morning, rewards were distributed to shout 100 deserving labourers, while 48 teams competed in the ploughing match, which took place on Cippentum-court Farm, near Slough, the property of Mr. Aldridge. Mr. I. Pops Ivo was declared the winner of the Prince's cup for the beet flys acne of swedes. while Mr. H. Central won the mine Mend by the Rev. H. Palmer. In the evening the annual dinner was held, at Botham's Wind mill Hotel. &thin& Mr. R. TYRRILLL, City Ransgebranoer, who has a country seat in the neighbourhood, presided. There were also present the Hon. Colonel Hood, equerry to the Prince COMMIS; Mr. R. Wenitlyn, Mr. T. R. Ward, and Mr. Penningtoe, county magistrates, two or three clergymen, and about 150 of the principal freeholders and farmers of this portion of the county, with • sprinkling of professional men and treat% The following was the most peculiar Mature in the meeting, the remaining speeches being of the character ordinarily de , limed at egricultural puha:lnv. Mr. Weextrx mid that in submitting to ths onsiderstion of the meeting • toast confided to his care, he felt that be mast Mahn their Milliremce while endeavouring to submit it In molt a form as would commend it to their acceptance. Since they bad lea assembled in that room circumstances had occurred in their neighbourhood which bad given it a world-wide importance. In consequence of these circum stances his toast was invested with more than a common in- West. Public attention throughout the country had been directed to these circumstances principally through the in strumentality of the amiable end excellent vicar of Stoke, Mr. Shaw. (Here applause of a most rapturously enthu natio ohmmeter broke lath, which prevented the speaker from proceeding for some moments.) He (Mti ;id Wank takes pte trusted wouldhathatve the the effect ti w hich and of rooting out of the church those practices which were abhor rent to the feelings of every true Christian. The system to which he alluded he unhesitatingly condemned ea anti-pro- I truant and ma-Balise, as anti-Christian end unscripttual. To use the language - of the Bishop of Oxbrd in a document published a few days since : " God forbid that oar clerk/ should admndster molt a system, or that our wives and daughters should be sabiented to it." (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Wanklyn) would add prayer—May God grant that both bishop, sad elegy, sad laity may hold the faith in unity of spirit, in Me lend of algae, and in the righteousness of IM I" It was beams he believed that the bishop was Mo. oere in the utterance of these sentiments—(loud cries of No, no," and tramealove uproar)—it was because he be lieved that he was a oonecienttons— (" No no," and continued Intarruption)— that he was • arinoere—(" No, no," mingled with an ocoseional "Yee, yes ") that he was an exemplary and faithful—(loud noises mad cordant yells)—bishop, that he begged to propose " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese.' (Cries f" o No Noa ones wanted," "Cle rgy, clergy," "No bishop," "Mr Shaw and the clergy,' , followed by loud cheers.) The greatalty of the company drank the toast, at the same tone out "Mr . Shaw and the clergy." It should be o that the vicar of Stoke was not present. Alter mom degree of tranquillity had been restored, The Row. 8 F.3leheneht., vicar of Farnham Royal, lON to respond, and observed that it was always difficult to return JJ thanks at times like the present, when under the Aron Winona of Meting,. On this meander tomenien the difficulty was considerably increased. He thee& i the majority of the meeting were favourable to the whole Mast as _proposed by Mr. Wanklyn. (Cries of "No, no," and "We are unanimous the other way.") If that were the use, continued Mr. Marshall, he as one of the clergy of this diocese could not accept the toast. (Coniu- ' don.) From some circumstances he had entertained fears that this toast would not be received in the usual cor dial manner. He had come prepared to avow that be esteemed it to be a high privilege to be one of the clergy of this diocese, under its present diocesan. (Renewed uproar. and cries of " No, no.") He felt confident mat as • clergy man he would meet with generous protection when in the i right—(cries of " That won't do")—with lenient considera tion and paternal correction when wrong, and with a fair, open, and impartial trial, whether tight or wrong. (" Hear, hear' from the vicinity of the chair, followed by cries of " No, no" along the tables.) On the part of his brother clergymen he returned his mod cordial thanks. He lamented that there were not more pre sent. The rev. gentleman was then allowed to finish his speech, which related to the advantages of the society, &a, without interruption. SHOCKINO SUICIDI dT DOVER. DOVER, FRIDAY. A suicide has just taken place here under very shocking circamatances. Mr. Oodles, corn and hop factor, of Astiford, the dammed, who was about 30 year. of age. has for several months peat been a frequent visitor at 25, Bear gate-street, a house of ill-fame, kept by • person known by the name of Cullen. It is stated that be has been known to take up hie abode in the house for several days together. From what can be gathered it appears that he arrived it Dover from Ashford by the 9.30 train last sight, intending to proceed this morning to Canterbury, where he bad !mi meo to treasons. On his arrival here be repaired as usual to the house above deuribed, and there remained the night. What passed during this time is not yet known, but it would almost appear that he wee seized with some sudden impulse to oomroat the horrible deed, uhe was shaved and dressed %Parapparently readiness for his journey to Canterbury, when r:aim were dint:mend at about half-peat 11 o'clock this morning. According to the statement of the people of the t hclz he was just upon the point of starting, when he re ato the bed-room he had occupied under the pretence of fetching something be had left behind, shortly after which they were startled by a loud report. On the room being en tered, the deceased, it is misted, was found weltering in blood, which was rapidly Bowing from • wound in the aide of his bead, just beaeath the jaw, which had evidently been in /Wiled by the deceased's own band with a revolver that was ly.Ug by his aide. Life was then scarcely extinct, but before Mr. Barton and Mr. Coleman, the medical gentlemen who were called in, could arrive be bad ceased to breathe. The revolver with which the act was perpetrated is a flee-chamber weapon, and when it wee found the whole of the chambers were loaded and capped with the exception, of course, of the ow which had been d ischarged. The deceived brought a portmanteau with him from Ashford, and this was found in the room in which he had slept, but on examination by the police It was found to contain nothing which could tend to tbrow the slightest light on the melancholy affair. The coroner's inquiry is to be held to-morrow. ALLEGED DEATH PION THE BITE 07 At MONKEY.
