Ir is stated by a French journal which occu pies itself with legal matters, that our Government has applied to that of France to give back M. LAMIRANDE, who was improperly abducted from Canada a few months ago in defiance of the Court of Queen's Bench, and hurried off to France before the machinery of justice could be set in motion on his behalf. A report so creditable to Lord STANLEY should be well-grounded. The Gazette ths Tribmatar professes to be able to con firm it, and in doing so undertakes to show that the claim ought to be resisted. LAMIRANDE was hastily removed from Canada by an improper use of Lord Mose K's signature, because his abduc tors foresaw that if that were not done the highest court in the land, before which his appeal was pending, would within twelve hours order his unconditional discharge. Thu principal ground on which the Court subsequently declared LAMIRANDE entitled to his freedom was, that the offence with which he was charged was not among those provided for in the Extradition Treaty be tween the two countries. Our French contempo rary meets this consideration by an argument which, if admitted at all, would be conclusive. The fi U tic maintains that the surrender o: accused persons to a foreign government is " an " act of sovereignty," and " can be effected " without any special treaty on the subject." An Extradition Treaty, according to this authority, merely "ascertains the manner and fixes the " cases " in which the right to extradition shall be exercised. This detracts somewhat from the force of the French argument, and can hardly be what the writer meant to say, for we might reply that neither was LAMIRANDE's case ascertained by the Treaty, nor did his removal from Canada take place according to its prescriptions. The French writer, however, makes his meaning quite clear when he proceeds to lay down that the English Government " may if it " thinks proper consent to the surrender of a " person accused of a crime not mentioned in the " Treaty." It will be urged that even if this must be admitted as to the external engage ments of a government, still from the point of view of public liberty and its guarantees against the possible encroachments of the executive power, it is necessary that the municipal law, which pro vidoi for and governs the execution of the Treaty, should be respected. But the French writer takes care to let it be known that he has not overlooked the distinction. Hu is contemplating both the law and the Treaty in their inseparable connexion, and intends to affirm explicity that " the English " Government had absolute freedom to " give up LAMIRANDE even for a crime " not provided fur by English law." It may be hoped that Lord STANLEY will weigh the effect of this reasoning, which is a fair specimen of what may be heard every day among French officials. If our Government acquiesces in the detention of LAMIRANDE its inaction will be taken as an acknowledgment that its right to give up an accused person to a foreign Govern ment is not limited by law or treaty, but is, as this French writer contends, "an ad " ministrative act." Neither Lord Moees nor Lord CARNARVoN would, we are sure, feel flattered by being told that the surrender of Lamle %Net.: Was not an act of justice but of sove reignty. But the ingenious French publicist has an argument in reserve. lie has noticed that in the last session of Parliament some members of the House of Coliiiiions maintained that extradition is not an administrative measure, but an act emanating from the judicial authorities, and he has an answer ready for them. The demand for LAMIRANDE'S restoration is un doubtedly an administrative act, and would they attempt by such a claim to undo the work of justice t The answer is obvious. Extra dition ought never to take place without the previous satisfaction of certain established judicial requirements ; and this is all that has been main tained either in or out of the House of Commons. But the judgment of Mr. Justice DEUMMOND, concurred in by all his colleagues Of the Court of Queen's Bench, is an elaborate disavowal of LAMI RANGE'S extradition on the part of British justice, which by its highest organ in Canada has stigma tised that transaction as unlawful from tint to last. British justice would only applaud if the work of the kidnappers is repudi.ted and undone. The He lb. Trilm u n, is scandalised at the very suggestion of the prisoner's release, unable apparently to see that if the law is' to be upheld and reverenced, it is above all things necessary that an example of respect for it should be set by its professed agents and minis ters. Our French contemporary finds another reason why LAMIRANDE should not be given up, in the fact, which we take on its authority, that from the signature of the treaty in 1843 until THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1867. ' now it has remained a dead letter, and that the French have never been able to obtain the delivery of any criminal under its provisions, and only since France denounced the convention, and when it was liable to expire under the notice given by its Government, has any person been handed over to the French authorities. This is a political rather than a legal argument. The notorious objection of French lawyers and statesmen to give the judicial clement that importance which English opinion would assign to it, in the operation of ex tradition, is mainly accountable for the difficulties which have attended the working of the treaty on our aide. Public writers in France should know English love of law sufficiently well to feel assured that if the mutual extradition of accused persons can only beo.nto an established practice on con d'tiou that our Government shall, from time to time, place itself above the law, then, as far as we are concerned, the advantage of extradition amid be relinquished. If the Go-xtfr, perceiving this fact, is prepared to maintain that LAM MANDE must be held fast, because he is the last accused person whom France will ever get from England by the method of extradition, we can appreciate its argument, but not otherwise. porting any portion of them Into our oa a too mach troubled church at home. A statement in a leading article this morning of the Strtedard, which will be read with more or less =prim, is one to the effect that during the late American civil war the conservative party in England " did not support the South." While giving high praise to Lord Dnfferin for his late letters on the Irish question, the Mau thinks it right to say that his lordship's arguments will excite some qualms in the minds of the statesman who will not consider it his mission to proclaim to Irishmen the duty of leaving their country and their allegiance for that of foreigners and rivals. Should we happen to want more men for the army, there will be fewer from Ireland ; and even our great works in this country, whether public or commercial, will feel that leak in the great reservoir of unskilled labour. Writing on the same subject, Mr. Chichester Fortescue protests in the columns of the Tinter against the doctrine of " let well or i ll alone" in Irish affairs. Ile regrets Lord Dufferin's adoption of a hue of argument which fails to recognise the deep and pervading connexion between bad laws and unjust institutions on the one hand, and hatred of the law and political disaffec tion on the other, and so cuts off the most powerfnl mo tive which can drive governments and parliaments into the road of effective reform. OUTWAN 07 CAM. KPLAOUE IN ISLINGTON. A virulent outbreak of rinderpeat has just taken place in Islington, in the dairy of Mrs. Nicholls, Liverpool road. The first case of the disease occurred on Mon day last, and on being reported to the authorities a notice was issued by the Metropolitan Board of Works declaring the premises "an infected place," in accordance with the provisions of the " Cattle Diseases Preven tion Act, l 8611." Immediate steps were taken by those in charge of the dairy to separate the healthy, cattle from those who showed symptoms of the disease, but without any beneficial effect, for on the following Thursday four additional cues occurred ; the infected animals were at once slaughtered by order of the cattle plague inspectors, but the disease had taken root, and on Friday five more cows were attacked, and had to be destroyed. On Saturday last seven additional cases occurred, and fears being enter tained of a further spread of the disease, it was decided at a meeting of the committee of the Metropolitan Board of Works, in whom power is vested in each cues, that all the animals on the premises healthy or otherwise should be destroyed. This order was at once carried into effect, and the entire of the stock in the dairy, consisting of 4.i cows and one bull, were slaughtered on Saturday evening. The carcases of those which were diseased were ordered to be burned, and the others were sent to market after undergoing a rigid ex amination by the inspectors appointed for the pur pose. rp to noon to-day no further eases were reported in the district, and it is hoped that the vigorous measures adopted to limit the spread of the disease may have the effect of completely " stamping it out." OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) ARE WE TO HAVE A REFORM BILL The most notable contribution which appears in the Times to-day is a letter under the above heading, and which bears the well-known signature of "H." The letter is of considerable length, but its purport may be taken as follows :—By common consent it is agreed that reform is the imminent question of politics. The conservatives, who last year, could have exorcised the ghost by supporting a motion for a suffrage of $l. in the boroughs, and 201. in the counties, preferred to turn out the government instead, and the time is come when they must leave office or keep office either as the authors or as the enemies of reform. If as authors their bill must be a more extensive one than that of their predecessors. The compromise must be in a radical direction. If they pretend that more time is wanted, the fatal reply will be given that they eight years ago pro pounded a measure for which the approval of parliament was claimed. They count, it is said, upon the disinclina tion of the house to reform, and acknowledging this to exist, " H." submits considerations of moment, showing why this would be a dangerous course. He quotes a recent remark of Mr. Lowe to prove that the House of Commons has been widely discredited, and he proceeds to point out that there are many people of great authority over the popular mind who accuse it of having dealt disin genuously and insincerely. "It cannot be denied," said one, who is by no means an ardent reformer, the other day, "that the House of Commons prerarieMes on reform;" and if this be true, it would not be surprising were it begin ning to lose the respect and confidence of the country. If the constituencies are believed to be lukewarm, why not ' meet reform by a distinct negative, and take issue on the question! If the old game of procrastination and sub terfuge should now be tried, and the house be invited again to take refuge in some of those Groavenor-Elcho- Dunkellin amendments—which simply mean that while the house is ready to consider reform, it is resolved to do all in its power to defeat it—from that moment the question will be finally taken out of the hands of the house and will be settled elsewhere. Already the indecision of last session has inaugurated a democratic agitation, but the in sincerity of this session would consummate • democratic revolution. These are no baseless menaces or idle appre hensions ; they are what the past political history of this country teaches in every page. Unhappily, no great ques tion the justice and beneficence of which is now univer sally admitted has ever yet been carried by the mere force of argument and reason in the House of Commons. Has the House of Commons become wiser, or are the people less strong than they have proved themselves in the last fifty years! It is all very well to denounce agitation and in timidation, but before persons who desire the triumph of a cause will be induced to desist from recourse to them it must first be proved that it is possible—which it has never yet been—to carry • measure without then,. From the moment it is apparent that the house is trifling with reform the battle will be not between parties in the house but between the people and the house itself. Al ready it is a somewhat significant and ominous symptom that the exact measure of • politician's popularity I with the people may be almost guaged by his unpopularity with the House of Commons and rice rerso. " I desire above all things," writes " H.," in conclusion, " that the credit and influence of the House of Commons should be sustained in the country. But in order to this lam sure that the first step must be without delay to convince the country that the House of Commons is acting straightforwardly and in good faith about reform." What • pilot for the state ! exclaims the Daily News, in reviewing Mr. Horsman's late address. He sees clearly enough the threatening storms and the breakers ahead, but he does not even yet see his way to safety. He warned the country in 1859 that delay in settling the reform ques tion was dangerous, and he is not quite sure in 1867 that delay is not the only practicable policy now. At least on no account must • government that does not see its way to a reform bill be forced to make way for a government that does see its way. Nothing like • blind pilot in a storm. The Telegraph continues to affirm that the ministers will propose to the Rouse of Commons, so soon as business begins, an inquiry into the boundaries of the parlia mentary districts, and at the same time they will attempt to make arrangements for an autumnal session, to which the mistested and embarrassing subject of a reform bill is to be amicably deferred. THE BANK CHARTER ACT. In the opinion of the Daily Anew the report of the committee appointed by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce to examine the working of the Bank Charter Act contains only • few mistakes., and shows that Bir mingham has advanced in economical knowledge since the days when Mr. blunts was silenced by Bit Robert Peel. With regard to the issue of bank notes for 11, this prac tically could serve no purpose, and incidentally might do some harm. Another proposition of the committee, that government should be empowered to issue other notes of 11. and upwards to the extent of half the annual re venue, not payable in gold or silver, but receivable for taxes, customs, and by the Post-office, and secured by go vernment stock, seems to the Dail!, Yeses one which would produce no other result than the conversion of 31,000,000/. of consolidated stock into the same amount of floating debt ; and there is little or no probability that the sug gestion will be attended to. In their arguments against the Bank Charter Act the committee are unanswerable. It is really ample time that these questions should be radically settled. The report has been circulated that the existing government will propose an inquiry into the working of the currency laws, but this will not be enough unless the inquiry be made comprehensive. Governors ►nt directors of the Bank of England, private bankers, and accountants should not be the sole persons examined. Independent testimony must also be required, not merely from 'the world-wide houses that command credit, but from three who really feel the practical effects of what is called • financial pressure. If the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce can effect this result, they will elicit more information and do more service than nine-tenths of the protests and reports on record. XISCELLANEOI'S TOPTCA. The Times concludes that the insurrection in Crete is practicallyat an end, and expresses the hope that the repre sentatives of the Western Powers will exert themselves in behalf of the vanquished population. " Three things," according to a Turkish proverb, " are utterly merciless— time, fire, and the Sultan." His sublime highness may not, however, be equally it sensible to sterner influences, and all should now be applied to incline his heart to humane and generous counsels. Though nothing can heal the breach between Dr. Colenso and the metropolitan of South Africa unless the offending prelate will recant his work on the Pentateuch, yet the Post endorses the advice which the primate and the Bishop of Oxford have given to Mr. Butler that for the present he should wait. As time goes on the COUTO* of circumstances may remove difficulties, and it may become possible to appoint a substitute for Dr. Colons* wishout increasing the difficulties of the church in Natal, or im- the eaurt.

The Muter of the Rolls intimated that he would, if possible, give judgment previous to rising for the vac►tion. A case is at present under hearing in the Dublin Court of Common Pleas in which Mr. Thomas Joseph Eyre seeks to recover from Mr. Richard Seymour Guilt nest, official manager of the celebrated Tipperary Joint stock Bank, the amount of a bill of exchange drawn upon the bank for 17,0001. by the late John Madleir, and ac cepted by their manager at the branch office formerly existing in Clonmel. The case involves several legal points of great difficulty ; and the principal defence is, as might be expected, an allegation of fraud committed by Sadleir, and a denial of the manager's authority to accept the bill. Mr. John Martin, of 1848 eelebritv, publishes a long letter in the Nation upon his favourite theme—the repeal of the union. " There never was." he writes, " a time since O'Connell's death more favourable than the present for a national repeal movement, if Irish patriots will but join to make such a movement. And a national movement may soon be formed if the catholic hieracby and clergy of the National Association will decide upon taking repeal for their object. The Fenian in Ireland would soon give their adhesion to a repeal movement to which the catholic bishops and clergy were committed. The Irish of the colonies and of England would give it their sympathy and aid. Even the Irish of the United States, when the reality and earnestness of the movement became manifest, would turn all their hopes to the attainment of self-government for their dear old country by the peace able way of repeal." The New York Times states that Secretary DlTulloch has received numerous letters from distin guished statesmen and other influential persons in Eng land, highly commending his financial policy. Among the letters is one from )jr. Gladstone. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE METALWORKERS' STRIKE IN BELGIUM. The Journal de Charleroi of Feb. 2 contains the following : Yesterday morning a strike took place almost instan taneously in all the metal works of Marchienne, including the works at Couillet. This strike is attributed to a notice which was posted throughout the various establ i shments and intimated that the wages of the men would be re duced by ten per cent. from the let of February, owing to the depressed state of the iron trade. In the first moment of excitement some reprehensible acts were com mitted at the works of the Monoeau-our-Sambre Company and at the rolling works of Bedtime, Marchienne, Wil mer, and on the premises of M. Victor Gillieaux. The workmen required that the fires should be put out. They marched in procession and sang songs. In consequence of a friendly conference, it was agreed between M. Smite, the manager of Couillet, and his men, that the works should be open on Monday. At other places the fires were put out, and it was feared that an attack would be made on the important mill at Marchienne. About 4 o'clock M. Clautrian, the mayor of the town, addressed the workmen, telling them that the effect of thei• conduct would be to stop the whole of the metal trade, and that they would be the first to feel the effects of such stoppage, but they would not listen to him. "He is a good fellow," they said in the Walloon language, " but he would lead us astray." A body of the workmen then proceeded to the rolling works of Wilmer and Victor Gillieaux and the grates of the puddling furnaces were unhinged and the machinery stopped. The mounted police were on the spot since the morning, but they con fined their action to temporising in order not to increase the excitement. It was thought that prudence and cir cumspection would be more efficacious than a dis play of force. A body of forty of the 11th regiment of the line in gar lion at Charleroi were, however, called out to occupy the Gillieaux works, where the windows had been broken and stones thrown at the police. The officer in command received three blows from stones. Towards night the men dispersed, and returned to their own homes. At Acoz, Chatelet, and Chatelineau there are no operations going on this morning. The night passed off without disturbance, but it is reported that the men will meet again at 5 in the morning, and that there is an understanding between them and the coal miners. A postcriptstates that the coal pits at Blanchisserie, Sacre-Madame, and Damp remy are abandoned, and that the men are marching on Marchienne. They require that the bag of flour should be sold at 30fr. Cavalry is expected from Mous, and the troops of the line have proceeded from Gillieaux to Mar chienne to protect the mill. It will be seen from our telegraphic intelligence that the strike has led to a violent conflict between the troops and the workmen, and that some lives have been lost. (RELTEILM TELEGRAMS.) THE AUSTRIAN MINISTRY. VIENNA, FEB. 3, EVENING. The resignation of Count Beicredi is attributed to his being unable to concur with the views of Baron von Beust, who proposes that the arrange ment with Hungary should be submitted to the Leaser Reicharath as an accomplished fact. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The Mouiteur, which was fully expected to announce more reforms, or at least a highly liberal interpretation of those of Jan. 19, is mute to-day. It is, however, satisfactory to find that the Patrie, the organ of the reactionary section 1 1 of the ministry, and which has hitherto thrown cold water upon all the liberal projects imputed to the Emperor, says very positively that the " previous authorisation " is defini tively given up. That was the 'great point in the new press law, and the victory of the liberal cause cannot be exaggerated. A special council has been held this day (Sunday) at the Ministry of Justice by the ministers commissioned to frame the bill which is to regulate the future destinies of the press. So many matters were yet sub joulire yes terday, that it is hardly to be supposed that the commissioners can come to a complete agreement to-day, and the news that the bill was to be sent to the Council of State on Monday is probably pm. mature. This news originated most likely in a mistaken apprehension of the fact, announced yes terday, that the Council of State is to meet at the Tuileries to-morrow to discuss the reorganisation of the army. I have just seen some statistics of 1864 which I strikingly bear out the assertion that the number of men which the Emperor proposes to take annually for the army amounts to almost the entire product of able-bodied youth which France can produce. It will astonish many to learn what a large proportion of the young men who are forced to draw lots every year and liable to serve as recruits in the order of their numbers are rejected by the medical inspectors. In 1864 the number of men liable to serve was 325,000. Of these were rejected :-18,106 below the standard height ; 30,524 weak constitution, consumption, ; 15,988 mutilated from birth, hernia, &c. 9,100 humpbacked and flatfooted ; 6,988 blind or deaf ; 963 stammerers ; 4,108 insufficient teeth ; 5,114 syphilis and cognate diseases ; 5,213 goitre and scrofula; 2,158 cretins, lunatics, and para lytics ; 8,236 divers incapacities. The total youth of the year unfit to serve in the army was 109,000 odd. A letter from Naples states that amongst the arrivals are Lord Blantyre and family, Viscount lindyn, the Hon. Mrs. Norton and family, and two sons of 3lr. Gladstone, one of whom is M.P. for Chester. The Paris correspondent of the Pude states that E irl Cowley, who has long been entitled to his retiring pension, intends to leave the diplomatic service. When the late change of ministry occurred, as usual on such occasions, the British Ambassador at the court of the Tuileries sent in big resignation. It appears, however. that her Majesty expressed a wish that Lord Cowley should be in Paris when bis Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and it may be her Majesty herself, might visit the great Exhibition in the spring. Under such circuni stances, Lord Cowley could only place the Queen's request before Lord Stanley. If, then, his lordship returns to Paris it will only he for the occasion above stated ; his long and often difficult mission at the court of the Tuileries is doubtless terminated. The Crown Agents for the Colonies have been requested by the Governor of Jamaica to notify the receipt by him from " tendon" of the following Hank of England notes :—J-I 32149, for 60/. ; J-K 16482, 16483, 16484, 164 , 11, 164446, 16487, 10432, for 1001. each, amounting to 1O!., and stated to be " money due to the Island of Jamaica." TIIE NATIONAL VEREIN.—At the ordinary meet ing of the members of the German National Society, at seyd's Hotel, Finsburrsquare. on Saturday last, Mr. J. Baur in the chair, a motion of Mr. M. Conradi, to address the Bavarian Chambers in favour of the programme of the Prince of Hohenlohe, viz., respecting the union with the North German Confederation, was unanimously adstpted. THE PARIS PRINTERS. —The printers of the Paris press have met, and drawn up a petition, which they intend to present to the Senate. "In this document," says the Libero, " they reduce their pretensions to the extreme minimum, and instead of demanding impunity in all cases, simply ssk not to be put out of the pale of the common law ; not to be treated more rigorously than assassins and robbers ; and notto be deprived of the benefit of extenuating circumstances. They solicit a cessation of their pecuniary responsibility when the offence has been committed by solvent and resident authors and editors. Lastly, they ask to be responsible only in default of writers, arising either from their desire to remain un known, or from their not off i r r - r ia sufficient security for the payment of the lines in, THE REPRESENTATION OP COUNTIES. Among a batch of blue books and papers issued this morning for the information of parliament, is a summary of 90 pages, furnishing, in respect of the several counties in England and Wales, information analogous to that contained in the borough summary of the electoral re turns which were published in March last. This docu ment has been prepared under the superintendence of Mr. J. Lambert, poor-law inspector. Amcngst other in formation given is the amount of election expenses, the number of electors whose qualifying property is within a parliamentary borough, the number of unrepresented towns and the population of each, Ike. At the close of the book is a list of the principal parliamentary returns and papers relating to the electoral franchise which were issued last session. These are so numerous as to occupy five pages. The expenses of contested elections for counties at the last general election, 26 in number, amounted to 291,8361. ; the non-contested, 52 in number, to 315,6661. The popu lation in the counties, exclusive of represented boroughs, increased between 1831 and 1861 by 2,738,378, and the number of electors by 76,697. The unrepresented towns and metropolitan parishes in the counties are 135 in num ber, having a population of 1,495,079. The Commissioners of the Inland Revenue, in a report issued to-day, express some surprise at the great increase of the consumption of spirits in Ireland as com pared with the quantities consumed in England and Scotland. The proportionate increase in England is .544 per cent. ; in Scotland, 3.44 per cent. ; and in Ireland, 8.68 per cent. The export of spirits from England has sud denly been diminished by nearly 2,000,000 of gallons. The distillers attribute the fact to the very low prices of Prussian spirits made from potatoes and roots, " and which," says the commissioners, "though extremely coarse, and in every respect inferior to the productions of this country, are taken in large quantities for fortify ing wines, and for mixing with such spirits and liqueurs as have sufficient flavour to disguise the unpleasant taste of the adulterating material. They are much used in this country for fortifying wines in bond." The commissioners come to the conclusion that in Eng land there are consumed two bushels of malt per head, and about half a gallon of spirits ; in Scotland, seven tenths of a bushel of malt per head, and more than a gal lon and a half of spirits ; and in Ireland, four-tenths of a bushel of malt, and eight-tenths of a gallon of spirits. It appears that during last year there was a payment of legacy and succession under one will of the sum of 150,260/. The same estate contributed 42,000/. to the probate duty, the property being valued at 2,800,000/. The Inland Revenue Commissioners assume in their report, just published, that our four•whecled cabs are a disgrace to the metropolis, but the only suggestion they can tire in the way of a remedy is an extension of the powers given to the police, or the more active exercise of their present power for prohibiting the use of " objection able carriages and horses." They also call the attention of the government to the fact that the cheap railway trains, which were originally exempted from duty in compensation for compelled lowness of fares, are now most remunerative, and they snore than hint that the exemption should not continue. Among the samples of adulterated tobacco examined lately at the Inland Revenue Laboratory were several containing liquorice, others fermentable sugar, and some tannic acid, sulphate of iron, and logwood,wbilst one sample of " roll" sent from Scotland actually consisted of oakum, covered with a thin wrapper of leaf tobacco, and was, from its outward appearance, Indistinguishable from genuine tobacco. The principal of the laboratory gives the weight of tobacco yearly consumed per head of the population at one pound four and three-quarter ounces, which shows a continuous increase during the List '2O years. AGRICULTURAL RETURNS.—From a variety of returns issued this morning relating to the acreage of land in the United Kingdom during last year the following particulars are gleaned:—England has a total area of :12,590,397 statute acres. Of these 7,400,170 arc under corn crops, 2,750,008 under green crepe, 760,979 under bare fallow, 2,238,087 under clover and at tificial and other grasses under rotation and 8,998,027 of permanent pasture exclusive of hill pastures. The total of estimated ordinary stock of cattle was 3,420,044, and of sheep 15,124,541. The total area in Ireland in statute acres is '20,3'22,641. Of these 2,173,433 are under corn crops, 1,482,091 under green crops, 28,060 under bare fallow, 1,600,495 under clover and artificial grass, and 10,002,058 under permanent pasture. In the latter item, however, lull pastures are included. The cattle were estimated at :1,742,932, and the sheep at 4,270,427. DEATH OF MR. W. LON(I.—We have to record the death of Mr. Walter Long, for many years M.P. for North Wilts—namely, from 1835 up to the last dissolution of parliament—who died on the 31st ult. at Torquay, somewhat suddenly, after a short illness. The late Mr. Long, of Wraxall and Rood Ashton, Wilts, belonged to au old county family, several members of which had for a long series of years been knights of the shire, ar.d all in the conservative interest. He was the eldest eon of Mr. Richard Godolphin Long, formerly a member for the county, by Florentine, daughter of Sir Bourchier ‘Prey, Part., and married, in 1819, Mary Anne, daughter of the late Right Hon. Archibald Colquhoun, Lord Register of Scotland, which lady died in 1836 ; and secondly, in 1837, Lady Bisshopp, widow of Sir Cecil Bisshopp, Bart., and daughter of the late Admiral Sir James llillyar, K.C.B. THE AUTHOR'S DEN.—Mr. Beau .. nt had a theory that a man should have a Den, somewhere in the world. And he had always in bachelor days contrived to have one, in which disorder, as it seemed, was supreme. His wife haul fitted up and decorated the nicest little room for him, on the ground floor of the villa, and used to pet flowers then. every day, and constantly adorn it with some fend nine fancy. And, during the first months after their mar riage, Mr. Beaumont consented to sit, arrayed in velvet and conjugal red slippers, a model of an elegant author craftsman. During this time, chile his chief business was to be ready with a smiling answer when a pretty face looked in and asked him how he was getting on, and whether he wanted anything, and whether he should soon have done, and while his attempts at work were some what interrupted by the great pains bestowed upon his whiskers by his admiring wife, the elegant little room answered its purpose very well. But later, when the young wife acquired more repose:and the young husband had to work harder, Mr. Beaumont suddenly moved himself up• stairs into a garret, ou which he had been casting a secret and resolute eye. Availing himself of a couple of days when his wife was visiting her parents, he basely brought to the refined villa a cart full of his old furniture from his bachelor chambers—a terribly stout, but hideously ugly table, a battered old desk which had borne up his manu script from the time when he was struggling into maga. tines to the time when magazines were struggling for him, a vast oak chest, filled with the meworials of years of an odd life, three or four prints in the wormiest of frames, and a huge arm -chair which had once belonged to a monthly nurse. This pleasing assortment of goods Mr. Beaumont conveyed up into his garret, and dire was the astonishment of the little matron when on her return, she found the graceful nest deserted, and t i e beloved bird perched in this strange most. But she was too good a wife not to understand the fitness of things, sad the Den became an institution. — Sooner or Laity, by Shirley Brooks, No. 4. THE SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN IN SALISBURY-SQUARE. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) At 11 o'clock this forenoon, Mr. W. J. Payne, the Deputy Coroner for the City, held an inquiry at Watson s Hotel, Salisbury-square, respecting the death of Mr. William Davenport. Sophia Paulette said that she was employed at the Salisbury Hotel, Salisbury-square. The deceased came to the hotel on Thursday night. She showed him to by room on the second floor of the hotel. It Waa a b ac k room, but it overlooked the yard. It was • considerable height from the ground. The room was lighted by one window. He brought a considerable quantity of lugg er . with him. He came at 6 o'clock. At 10.30 he edledWi. ness, and saw her on the landing outside his dour. He said, " A lady has been confined in the room opp,aite to mine against her will. The doctor will not let let out. He has muffled her mouth. I knew the doctor abroad: , That statement was • pure fiction, but witness listened to him. He then asked for some 'ceders. but witness said that it was against the rides of the hot e l to have matches. If be wanted • light the night port er should let him have one if he called. fie asked for matches twice. A gentleman slept in the room opposite to the de. ceased. He was asleep. There was no lady in the moo. The deceased was quite calm when he made the statement. He pushed at the gentleman's door and tried to open it. Witness then called the porter. The deceased then wes t into bed again. He did not come down stairs the next morning. Witness heard at a little after 12 o'clock th at he had leaped from the window. Richard Sexton said that he was porter at the hotel. He heard the deceased talking to the last witness, vi a was one of the housemaids at the hotel He was pi ta calm and collected in his manner. Witness put the gy out. He did not become exalted. The next day witness was told that a gentleman was going to commi t suicide. He went out into the yard and saw the demand sitting outside the window of his roam. Both of his legs were outside the window, sad he was seated on the window-ledge. The head pew brought • mattress and threw it out into the back yard is break the deceased's fall. Witness then heard a nu. He knew it was the deceased. He was striking his hyay ►gainst one of the window sills in hit fall. Witness then saw the deceased falling through the air. When be wss in the air he was falling on his beck. His leg s were straight out. When be fell his head was struck so n * the stones of the pavement, and his legs tell on the mattress. He was killed instantly. The police and the manager, Mr. Lewis, came and had the deceased removed. A juror asked the witness why he did not tell the ma. nager of the conversation that the deceased had had with the chambermaid the previous night. The first witness, Sophia Paulette, replied, and said that she had told the chambermaid of it, and when she heard shout the lady, she said, " Oh, gentlemen my curious things sometimes." The hotel manager was not aware of it. Among other witnesses, was Mr. John Davenport, who said that the deceased ins his brother. He was 32 years of age. Witness had not sem him for six years. He had been in Buenas Apes, in tooth America. He had been ill while he was abroad. He was a general merchant in South America. He said that the rivers there had affected his health. lie was attacked with brain fever while he was out in South America. He was not an exciteable man- The revolver found in the room had been sent out to the de ceased by witness when he was in America. The state ment about the lady was a pure fiction. He returned to England about a fortnight ago. He was not married. There was nothing in his letters to show that his weld was affected. He had not been disappointed in love. Witness did not know of any other witness who could throw any further light upon his brother's suicide. The Coroner having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of " Suicide whilst is a state of temporary insanity." THE NEWLY-ARRIVED JAPANEAE.—OUY South ampton correspondent says :—" The fourteen Japanese officers who arrived here on S►turday are youths of high social rank, and have come to England to be educated at our universities. In dress, manners, and appearance they differ very little from the sons of English noblemen. ' The twelve Japanese jugglers who arrived in the same ship consist of seven men, two women, two boy■, and a girl. The children are whirled round in huge hammier tops, the others walk on the slack rope, and do the famous butterfly trick. This is a very clever performance ; art. ficial butterflies are kept up in the air by means of e and made to alight upon flowers just as butterflies do. The men are rather under the middle size, but are well formed and good-looking. They wear a largo cape over the shoulders. The women are the first who have ever left Japan; they are not so good-looking as the men; one of them has a peculiarly broad flat face. The childret are interesting. The professional costume of the jugglers is unique in form and colour. The girl was nursing. huge Japanese doll. The jugglers gave a performance 'xi board the mail-packet in the Red Sea. The Japanese dices seemed quite conversant with English manners at the saloon dinner table. The jugglers used chopsticks." A public meeting, attended by a large number of Scotch nobility and gentlemen of influence, was held is Queen-street Hall, Edinburgh, on Saturday, for the pur pose of memorialising her Majesty's government and peu• tioning both houses of parliament in suppwt of increased endowment to the University of Edinburgh. . . The Sunday Gazette understands that the Adul lamites are about to follow the example of the two great parties in parliament in the matter of the amid courtesies which precede the session. A dinner is to take place under the auspices of Lord Grosvenor, and it is understood that those attending are likely to show by their proceedings during the session their desire to give men more than a fair trial to Lord Derby's government. The dinner takes place at Lord Grovesnor's this evening. • • The report of the Totnes Election Commission was delivered at the Home-ottioe on Friday.
