(BY strzmisna TIMICGILAPH comrstrr.) OWN 0011 owl PARIS, FRIDAY Evatinca. (mom oon owx col This justice must be done to the Moniteur, in spite of the suspicion that Napoleon 11l would not be sorry to see the last Bourbon throne overturned, that it faithfully adopts all the official news from Madrid. Only this morning it informed the public, which believes in it, that Prim was on the point of taking refuge in Portugal. The latest news, how ever, is that he has taken quite another direction, that he has destroyed a great part of the railway between Ciudad Real and Badajoz, and that it is apprehended he may provoke an insurrection in Andalusia. One senator alone constituted the minority against the vote authorising the trial of Prim for treason. This isolated senator may, to-morrow be on the winning side, for the re r ry h rteet news is that Prim, with colours flying, was marching upon Cordova. PARIS, JAN. 19. The Prase of this evening announces in a leading article, headed "The Evacuation of Mexico," that Baron Saillard left Paris on Monday last, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements with the Emperor Maximilian for the return of the French troops at the earliest possible date (uoria's imrsowts.) THE MILITARY REVOLT IN SPAIN. BAYONNE, JAL 1L Despatches received here from Madrid to the evening of the 17th instant, state that the insur gents under General Prim were certainly marching into Andalusia. They left Hays on the morning of the 16th inst., and after a march of 50 kilometres, arrived the same evening at Zalamea, 15 kilometres distant from the province of Cordova, having destroyed on the way a portion of the Cuidad Real and Badajoa Railway. It was believed in Madrid that it was the captain of the Covadanga who had committed suicide, and not Admiral Pareja. The young Count Andrd de Montalembert, nephew of the eminent orator and writer of that name, and son of the Marquis de Montalembert, who was colonel of a cavalry regiment. and died of cholera in Africa three years ago, has just entered himself as a novice in a Jesuit college. Fish is just now extremely dear in Paris, owing to the tempestuous weather. ♦ tolerable turbot costs 41. The wonderful phenomenon, however, of turbot served every day at the eigbteenpenny dinners of the Palais Royal puzzles many brains. The explanation is said to be that the restaura teurs extract most of the salt from salted cod, and then serve up the pulp, smothered in sauce, as turbot. The customers who know that fish is dear —and do not expect anything very good for a small price—swallow the nondescript morsel, and it does them no harm. ITALY. FLORESCE. JAN. 19. A despatch received here from Venice announces that the Provincial Congregation has unanimously resolved upon the maintenance of the Province of Venice, and upon addressing a remonstrance in this sense to the Central Congregation. THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. BERLIN, J. 19. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Herr Vichow moved that the statement made by the government in the speech from the throne at the opening of the session, relative to the union of Lauenburg with the Prussian crown, should be declared invalid and contrary to the ordinances of the constitution so long as it has not received the sanction of the Chambers. Dr. Pusey was at Bordeaux the other day ; he had several interviews with the cardinal arch bishop, and passed Sunday in the monastery of the Dominican fathers. The Bourse lost, and more than lost, the rise of yeeterday, owing to rumours that the Emperor can not make up his mind to come away from Mexico. Rents fell 25c. for cash, and 15c. for account, closing at 68fr. 50c. and 68fr. 55c.; Mobilier fall I2fr. 50c.; Italian rose 10fr. The Daily News is seized.

HAMBURG, JAN. 19. The Norddeutache Bank has declared a divi dend of 9 per cent for the year 1865, or at the rate of 45 marks banco per share. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILIS BEFORE PARLIAMENT, —Yesterday, Mr. Frere, one of the examiners of standing order proofs upon hills about to be introduced to the House of Commons, resumed his duties in No. 16 committee room, and although the lists allotted to that gentleman and his colleague only comprised fourteen bills, the oppo sition to two of them caused the examiner to extend his sittings far beyond the usual hour of four o'clock. The fol lowing unopposed bills were passed, the examiner having declared the standing orders to have been complied with, viz.:—Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (West Riding Branches, he) ; North Metropolitan Railway ; East London Eastern Extension Railway • East and West Junction Railway (Capital); Whitstable Fishery Extension; Lynn and Batton-bridge, Spalding and Bourn, and Norwich and Spalding Railway Companies ; Hampstead, Highgate, and Charing-cross Railway • Midland Railway (Aahby, Nuneaton, Ac.); and Midland Railway (Settle to Carlisle). The standing orders were declared to have been complied with in the adjourned petitions (unopposed) of the Lynn and Sutton-bridge Railway (Works at King's Lynn), and the Spalding and Bourn Railway Bills. 'The further coo. sideration of the London, Brighton, and South Ooest Rail- way (Surrey lines) Bill was proceeded with, and after hear ing the part ies in opposition, the decision was postponed until Monday, for the settlement of some matters of detail. The examiner then proceeded with the opposed petition of the Londoo Chatham, and Dover, and South Eastern (Kennington, Clapham, and Briztoo ) Railway, the further hearing of which was adjourned at five o'clock, when the examiner adjourned the sitti_off until Monday next. THE OUTRAGE AND MURDER AT LANCARTER.-.-. Yesterday a borsebreaker (John Cottam byname) was charged before the magistrates at Laneaster with committing a criminal outrage upon, sod afterwards murdering, a girl named Elizabeth Nelson. The police are in possession of facts not only implicating Cottam. but also another man. lo consequence of some relationship or connexion between Cottam and one or two members of the coroner's jury, the inquest has been adjourned, and the magistrates yesterday remanded Cottam in order that the police may have time to complete their chain of evidence. THE SHROPSHIRE MURDER.—CLZOBUST MOZ. TIMER, FRIDAY. —This shocking crime is still enveloped in mystery. The prisoner, James Childs, who was appre hended at Wolverhampton last Monday, and examined at Bridgnorth yesterday, when he was remanded to this town, arrived here late last night in custody of the police, and it was fixed to continue the examination here to-day. The clerk having read the depositions, the substance of which appears in to•day's papers, the chairman then inquired if there were any other witnesses ready to be examined, to which the police superintendent (Mr. Williams) replied in the negative. There was no person present acting for the prosecution or for the prisoner, and the polio* appeared to have abandoned the charge against him. The magistrates then directed the court to be cleared, and having consulted together in private for about a quarter of an hour, directed the public to be readmitted. The chairman (Mr. Childs) then said—We are desirous that the public should learn that the magistrates present, after giving the fullest attention in their power to the depositions that have been takes at Bridgnorth in this shocking case, are unanimously of opinion that under existing circum stances there is no reason why the prisoner should be de. stirred any longer in custody. He is therefore discharged. The prisoner was then removed, end the crowd, who ap peared much disappointed at the sudden termination of the inquiry, slowly dupersed. Some regret prevailed that the prisoner bad had no opportunity afforded him of explaining away the one or two little circumstances against him, and among others his possession of a sovereign on Monday morn. ing, it appearing that he was unable to pay for a bed on Saturday night. The magistrates afterwards had a private meeting, and were some time in deliberation as to the next step to be taken. It was arranged that they should visit the spot where the murder wee committed to-morrow. The police are now following op a clue in another direction, but for obvious reasons decline to afford any information as to their suspicions. We may say, however, that there is good reason to believe that the murderer is still in the cosetry. COLLISION ON THE MIDLAND RAIIRWAY.A. serious collision took place yesterday morning at Trent station, on the Midland Railway, some miles from Notting ham. About eight o'clock the Leicester train left Trent station for the latter town, and when it had reached Loog Eaton Junction a coal train was making a curve to go up the Erewash Valley line. The driver of the Leicester train considered himself quite clear of the coal train, but did cot see the Codnor-park train, whisk was coming along at rapid rate. The consequence was that both passenger trains ran broadside into each other while attempting to come on to the same line. One of the engines and five or six can were smashed to pieces, but, fortunately, Dora of the passengers were severely injured. though many of them were considerably shaken. The traffic was stopped for about three hours. THE WRECKS AT TORBAY.-.-A meeting of iDSu ential gentlemen was held on Thursday at Torquay for a very humane purpose. TOR destrontioa of 30 noels end the loss of some 80 lives in Torbay lest week have reodered necessary the creation of a fund, from which rewards may be given to those who risked their own lives to save the lives of others, from which amour may be afforded to the widows and orphans of those that are drowned, and to the men who have lost their means of support, and to reimburse to the Ship wrecked Marinas Society a portion of the Luxe sum which these disasters have caused to be "speeded. Sir Law- MOROI Palk, Bart., LE, presided, and some excellent speeches were made, descriptive of the sad evesors of last week, and appealing for the needed help. To such grad purpose were these earwigs made that Mi. was en bid in the room, and a committee whose names are a guarantee of pecuniary grams was appaisted to solicit and expend farther contributions.

AUSTRIAN EXHIBITION OF AGRICULTURE.—The Austrian ambassador in London has informed her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs that it is the ioten. tion of the Imperial Society of Agriculture and Rural Economy at Vienna to hold in that capital an exhibition of animals, produce, machines, and instruments relating to agriculture and plantations. This exhibition will take place between the 17th and 31st May ; it will be inter national as far as regards machines, instruments, and tools ; and medals of silver and bronze will be awarded to the best specimens, the jury for the distribution of theme prizes being partly composed of foreign jurors from the various countries which may take part in the exhibition. The Austrian government have taken this exhibition under their patronage, and they express a hope that foreign countries will be fully represented thereat, and that the department of machines and instruments relating to apt. culture and plantations will present a complete collection, not only of those used in Austria, but also of the products of foreign countries. DEATH OF COUNT ZAMOYSIII. One of the most retired parts of London has just witnessed the death of a man whose name has of late, as it has in past history, been loudly and honourably mentioned among the promi nent characters of Poland. Count Zamoyski, who died on the 9th inst., at 12, Warden-road, Kentish-town, at the age of 67 years, was the bead of his family, the proprietor of the large entailed estate of Zama's, the brother of Count Andrew and General Zamoyski, well known in England. Amidst the various vicissitudes mil the succession of Musters which occurred in his country during his life, his career was highly honourable and useful, especially in his steady, unceasing, and successful exertions to ameliorate the condition of the peas►ntry on his vast estates. The state of Polon& and the grief be felt in consequence, bad induced him for many years to live in complete retirement in England, and seems to have hastened his otherwise quiet and Christian end. His remains have been deposited at the Roman Catholic chapel of Keosal•gteeeo Cemetery, to be further removed by his children to the family grave in Poland.

[STAMPED, Id. ADDITIONAL.] Till RIPORM BILL.. IMPORTANT STATEMENT OF EARL RUSSELL. Yesterday afternoon an influential deputation from the recent meeting of inhabitants of Huddersfield with reference to the extension and the Increased repreeen tatiou of the borough, waited upon Earl Bussell, at his official read/mos in bOwniaretrent, to enlaces the IMMO. till which emanated trent that tneetian. The deputation wu,,iatrodueed by Hr. CROIMAND. ILP., who urged the claims of Huddersfield to increased repre sentation, and quoted facts sad figures in rapport of his arguments. _ _ _ Earl 11.13SSILL, in reply, stated that the facts brought before him by the deputation were entitled, and would receive, the most onions eoesideration of the government In the event of its proceeding to deal with the question of the redistribution of seats. There was, however, a prior question to be dealt with, and as it had already formed the subject of public diacnasion, he would have no hesitancy in referring to it. The question was whether the Reform Bill should deal with the whole subject, as in 1832, or should confine itself solely to the gaieties of the franchise, leaving ethos questions for subsequent legislation. He might esy that the government had not yet arrived at any concludes on that queetion. It would form the subject of consideration, and in the event of its being determined to deal with the whole questions, the facts brought before him would not fail to entitle HadAsndield to consideration. hfr. CROSLAND informed his lordship that •strong feeling existed in the borough of Huddersfield sod the West that a reform bill, to satisfy the just expectations of the people, mast deal with the question of redistribution. The deputation then thanked his lordship and withdrew. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. DEPUTATION TO EARL RUSSELL A deputation from a county meeting on the cattle gconvened by the High Sheriff of Lancashire at Z i t i ct, on the 11th of January, and consisting of the Marquis of Harlington, M.P., Mr. Charles Turner, M.P., Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth, Mr. Townley Parker, Mr. Thomas Weld Blundell, Mr. Jonathan Peel, Mr. Fazackerley Worthy, and Mr. John Hargreaves. had an interview by appointment with Earl Russell, at his official residence in Downing-street, yesterday. Earl RUSSELL said that with respect to the first part of the representations made by the deputation—viz., as to the adoption of more stringent measures to prevent the movement of stock, be conceived that one main difficulty had been pointed out by Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth. He had stated that the English people were little accustomed to the SIMON of such authority as would be required to enforce such restrictions. A large increase of the police force would, therefore, be required, and with that an act of iparliament to 'sable that new force to stop cattle on the roads. His lordship said that his own observation of the numbers of cattle which he had himself constantly encountered passing over Hammer smith-bridge was a proof of the difficulty of stopping such movement on roads without new powers from par liament, and an increase of the police. His lordship then gave instances of the importation of the disease into certaio counties by the purchase of diseased stook by cattle dealers or farmers, and of the subsequent disastrous consequences. The government could not, however, without deliberation determine Waxily for an increase of their powers of restraint, or for authority to require peremptorily an increase of the police force. Bat the matter was one which was worthy of consideration. Thee, as to the sword part of the sugges tions, the government were well inclined, if such a mammye were generally desired by agriculturists, to introduce an act of parliament enabling them to grant loans upon satisfactory security, and under proper regulations, to meet losses from the cattle plague. They conceived that welleonetituted societies for mutual assurance from losses from the cattle plague might be formed in counties, with a view to avail themselves of such a loan. Bat the government had great difficulty in conceiving bow such a system of in surance against these losses could be made to work efficiently in a wider area than counties. The deputation had assured him that they did not seek say grant of public money, nor any guarantee from government that the compensation for lenses from the cattle plague for which such association would become responsible should be paid, nor any charge on any kind of property except farm ing lands. That assurance was very satisfactory to him, and it induced him, therefore, to hops that the public loan for which the government was disposed to ask the sanction of parliament might be made to harmonise with some system of voluntary mutual assurance in counties. He bad no doubt that ample security could be given for the repayment of such a lean, and that the charge could be made a subject of equitable adjustment between owners and their tenants on the principle suggested by the deputtaioo. That arrange ment might have the unction of the law. His lordship further said that the statements which had been made to him by Sir James on behalf of the deputation as to the great loss already incurred, and as to the probability of even greater calamities. did not seem to him to be open to serious question, and the deputation might feel assured that the several suggestions which they had submitted would have the most attentive consideration from her Majesty's government. Mr. Weld Blundell, Mr. C. Turner, M.P., and Mr. Town ley Pecker stated several objections to the existing regula tions. Mr. JONATHAN PEEL then said be had recently had very extortive intercourse with tenant farmers, and they, with out soy exception, bad emphatically expressed their convic tion that the time wsa come for the hone of a general order by the government securing uniformity and greater stria. geocy of seder). The Marquis of HurrueoroN thought that the Privy Council already bad power to issue such an order within the limits of the existing law, though an act of parliament might be required to invest them with further powers. There were many tenant farmers present at the Lancashire county meeting, and he had no doubt whatever of the gene ral otinviction that the time was come for most stringent action under such a general order. Earl Hamm. said that without an act of parliament many of the suggestions of the deputation could not be carried into effect, but no doubt could be entertained of their importance, and they would have the immediate attention of the government. The 'Mosey of vaccination u a preventive of cattle plague isl being made the subject of careful experiment by the Commissioners. With a view to the assistance of per. sons in various parts of the country who may wish to make the trial, they have further thought it well to issue some plain suggestion as to the performance of the operation sad its results which have been drawn up by a member of the Commission, Mr. Cooly. THE CATTLE PLAGUE AT FINCHLEY AND BARNET. —Mr. Farmer, Government Inspector for Finchley, Horn soy, and Thorn Barnet, reports thus :—" In the parishes of Fincbley and Friers Barnet alone there have mane under my notice, from the 15th September to the 31st Decem ber (15 weeks), the following, viz.—Cattle attacked by the plague, 142 died, 83 ; slaughtered, 33; recovered, 2G.

THE SURREY MAGISTRATES AND THE CATTLE BLAClLM—Yesterday the adjourned meeting of magtstrates of the county of Surrey was held at the sessions-hove, Newington, at which it was determined to withdraw the notice given on the 4th inst., and to publish in lieu thereof • notice to the effect tbat from the 24th inst. until the Ist March next no cow, heifer, bull, bullock, ox, or calf should as brought in any way into the county, or, except under certain conditions, be removed over, along, or across any highway or public road (not being a raiload), from place to plane within the jurisdiction of the county, and that say pennon acting in contravention of than notice shall be liable to • penalty not exceeding 201., if he has not obtained the license of two justices for the removal of such cattle for the purpose of being slaughtered ; and, further, it was pro- vided that any person with • like license might remove any such animals from any land or plats to anot y her land or plies in his own occupation, it being satisfactorily proved that the cattle plague has sot for two months existed in the lands or places from, to, or through which such animal will hove to 111.

The accounts for the half-year ending the 31st of December, 1865, incorporotad with the report of the directors to be submitted to the meeting of the proprie tors on the 29tb, show the following results : "Capital Account.—The amount remised on capital ac carat on the 31st of December, 1865 le 13,823,1821., con sisting of ordinary stock and shams, 5,342,933/. ; waterer tial stock, 5,028,615/. ; mortgage debt, 2,156,9966. ; ad debenture stack, 1,297,3491.—t0ta1, 13,823,1e21.

Thus the tramp has progreesed self& factortly, as Indicated in the 6th parepegb of the report of December, 1864, and the result L that besides carrying forward a balance of 8,2671., the highest rate of dividend ever paid by this company has been reached within a fraction, notwithstanding that the traffic of the lines recently opened, particularly the Horsham ad Guildford, the Bognor and the Seaford, as well as the Littlehanipton steamboat service, is by no meths developed. This leads to the expectation that the r►te of progress will continue, and the directors are led more forcibly to this conclusion when they fled, on an examination of the details of the traffic, that the increase of revenue Is uniform at almost all the 117 stations, end not at particular points. The great reduction of fares in krignat, 1863, raked this receipts from the traffic between London and Bright= from 222,1301. b 1862, 213,4201. in 1863: it row again to 217,3841., in 1864, sad to 228,1774 in 1863. These figures include the grass trams of every description between London and Brighton. At the same time it must be borne in mind that, as com pared with the corresponding half-year, revenue is debited with interest on the wet of plant prepared for the South London traffic, on the capital of the Banstead and Epsom Dolma and the Horsham and Guildford lines, and other outlay on completed lines, amounting in all to 550,0951, Distinguishing the ordinary expenses from the amount ex pended in rens rrals, the general result of the comparison with the corresponding Lal -year of 1864 will stand thus : • Elall-year Ending .

The line and plant are in perfect order, but the directors must refer to the 7th paragraph of their last report as to the impossibility of making any great rodeo the under this head, and attest the fact that the large additions made in 1865 to the train service, particularly the improved service to Portsmouth, and the more recent separation of the London bridge, and the Victoria expresses, avoiding the stoppage at Croydon, have, with other smiler measures, resulted in affording great convenience to the public, and in cionhi bating towards the decreased traffic which re shown in the present year's accounts. The expressos now perform the journey between London and Brighton in one hour and five minutes, and with greater facility and regularity than they formerly did in one hour and a quartets The only bills which the directors are promoting in the present smarten of parliament are for powers to construct new stations at St Leonard's and hutings, to form con nections between existing lines and the Crystal Palace, and for a continuation of the South Croydon line by a circular route with theßanatsad and EpeomDowns line. Nouse( these schemes affect or are antagonistic to ocighbouriegeompanies. The directors regret to be obliged to allude to the combined attack of the South Eastern and the London, Chatham, and Dover Companies, by their joint promotion of the exten- sions into Croydon and the line from Beckenham to Lewin and Brighton. Both these projects arc, so far as the South Eastern Company are concerned, in distinct violation of the agreement entered into betwceotbe two companies in 1864. Thecontestmustbedectdedby theproputribno= looking to what ha. paved since the first promotion of the Beckenham, Lewes, and Brighton scheme in 1863, to the manner in which the rates and fares have been since Mooed, and the public accommodation constantly ex tended by this company, the directors feel confident that when all the circumstances are duly con- sidered parliament will not reverse their former decisions. The directors have entered Into an agreement with the prai motors of the line from Chichester to klidhurst, under which that line will be constructed in the interest of this company, and transferred to this company at the proper time on satisfactory terms. The line is 114 miles in length, nod the wet, including statioss, is to be 110,0001. The net amount at the credit of the revenue account is 181,5154, out of which the directors recommend the pay ment of • dividend of three and • quarter per cent. for the half-year, payable on the 12th of February, amounting to 173,2401., leaving a balance to the credit of the current hell year of 8,2671., and making the dividend for the year 1865 &motet to five and three quarters per cent.

During the evening he was repeatedly called out and applauded. la recording this fact we have said all that need be said.
