THE traveller who enters Oxford from the north, passing down one of the fairest avenues by which ever city was approached, comes upon a noble monument, whose form has evidently been suggested by an ELEAsoit cross at Waltham or elsewhere. This is the Martyrs' Memorial, one of the best works of Gummy SCOTT, com memorating the faith and sufferings of LATIMER, RIDLEY, and Cemorza, who within a year wit nessed to the doctrines of the Reformation at the stake. The Martyrs' Memorial was erected five and twenty years ago, which apparently was not a year too soon. It is doubtful whether at any subsequent date the project would have found the necessary support. Ecclesi astical Oxford does not often speak of the great Reformers of the sixteenth century, and when it mentions them it is much if a disdainful apology for them is heard instead of an insult. Anglican Bishops write books to deplore the Reformation as a schism ; Church newspapers traduce their personal character ; and associations are openly formed to undo their work. It is no wonder that to these people the Martyrs' Memorial is a scandal en! an offence. They might, however, bear it with a little more patience than they do, espe cially while they consent to remain members of the Reformed Church of England, and to eat its bread. Quiet laymen, who do their worldly duty all the week, and say their prayers on Sunday, may not know with what virulence the memory of the great men who were put to death for their share in reforming the Church of England is pursued by those members of that Church who have devoted their energies to the destruction of every trace of Protestantism within its borders. This week the chief organ of the Ritualistic party examines the question whether CRANMER and his brother sufferers were really martyrs at all, and finds that the name is far too glorious a one to attach to " such cha " :actors as history represents the Reformers to " have been." It is further found that they have no title to be so honoured, inasmuch as the cause in which they suffered was not that of the truth. Their position under MARY is said to re semble that of the Fenians of our own day, with whose political principles theirs are also alleged to coincide. In a loose sense it may be per missible to call them martyrs, as we say colloquially that Mrs. This is a martyr to the tooth►che, and Mr. That a martyr to the gout; but that is all. The true view of the case is thus stated :—" Such monuments as " the so-called ' Martyrs' Memorial' at Oxford " should be regarded merely in the light of " silent witnesses to the nutjesty of the lair, and " thus on a par with that other heap of stones " which indicated to posterity the pine, where " ACHAN suii•red in days of old." There is no mistaking the school in which this style was learned. Unbelievers have ceased to write thus virulently against Christianity, and Roman Catholics do not thus abuse Protestants. It is the ribaldry of VOLTAIRE adapted to the use of the youngest of Church parties. The blindness of the fanaticism which compares ACHAi—the type of the bad and selfish citizen, who for the sake of a Babylonish garment and a piece of gold brings woe upon his people —with men who gave up life itself rather than renounce their convictions, is conspicuous enough. But let it be noticed how thoroughly admiration for Rome can obliterate the manly sentiments natural to an English man. When a party has got to reverence the " majesty of the law" in executions in the name of religion, there is no depth of slavery to which it will not be easy to betray the country. It is a serious thing that such a party should be rapidly gaining ground among the clergy of the National Church. If, however, they are to remain in the Church of England, they must of necessity destroy the credit of the Reformers. Their hatred of CRANMER shows that they have not forgotten the last words he addressed to those who came to see him die—" And as for the Poez, I refuse him as " CHRIST'S enemy, and ANTICHRIST, and all his " false doctrine." Ir is time for Englishmen to wake up. While we in the south doze on, or grumble over our butcher's bills and the badness of trade, the Scots are quietly taking the lead in our most im portant affairs. Edinburgh must not be per mitted without a struggle to become the capital of the kingdom. It is in Scotland that our most eminent men are choosing to make their appear ance/. The greatest political gathering of the season been held in Edinburgh. Thither the CSCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER went to make his most elaborate defence of the Government, and there Mr. Lows has just delivered his brilliant address upon education. The latest news from modern Athens shows the northern mind alert and vigorous as ever. Grace and vivacity still accompany the strength and depth of the Scottish character. A happy innovation by ono of the Lords of Session, at the banquet given to Mr. LOWE, is too important to be passed over in silence. Our report yesterday recorded, after the detail of toasts in honour of the throne and the great institutions of the country, that "at this " stage of the proceedings Lord NEAVEN addressed " the meeting, partly in song and partly in recite " live, on the Origin of Species.' The matter " and its style of delivery were very amusing, " and created much mirth." Let a niche be at once got ready for Lord Nzav Es in the British Walhalla. That ancient who for two thousand years has been celebrated because he brought Phi losophy down from Heaven to converse with men, did but introduce an impostor, as Mr. LEWES has clearly explained. But honour to the man who leads Science to the table, helps her to the turbot, and prevails upon her to sing a song over the wine and walnuts. " Silence, pray, for " Anthropology." " Gentlemen, Thermo-Dyna " mica will oblige." The priests of Science will be truly such when they can literally take up their chant. Here, at last, we have a test for the thousand and one " views " which clamour for a hearing. Can they be stated convivially, " partly "in song and partly in recitative ?" We could name a few subjects which we should like to see subjected and confined most stringently to the or deal, and never permitted to appear unless their pro fessors can be warranted to "be very amusing, " and create much mirth." The Social Science Association, and a few other bodies that might be mentioned, should look to it. There can be no receding from the advance which Lord Navas has established. If even Mr. DARWIN'S recondite Doctrine of Species can be made amusing, Dr. Dayssnusr and his large family are likely to have a hard time of it. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 067. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AUSTRIA AND ENGLAND. THE VISIT OF BARON DE BEM TO LON DON. We read in the Vienna Passe: Baron do Iteust went to London to enter into personal relations with the leading statesmen of England, or rather to renew those relations with them, for since the con ference on Danish affairs he has been held in esteem in London. When it is considered that people here await with the greatest impatience the arrival of this politician, since it now rests with him to make the new machine of the state work, it is evident that important reasons must h►ve determined him to spend even so short a period as two days in the English capital. Among those reasons the chief one is the desire to realise the long-promised understanding with the western powers, and to act in this way on Prussia through the medium of England. But, besides this, we believe we can affirm with certainty, a thorough con sideration will be given to the Italian question. The Emperor Napoleon desires, as is known, that a conference should take place. Austria considers that she ought not to oppose any obstacle to it ; but she would not lend her self to that kind of proceeding unless England consented to join in the conference. Baron de Beust wishes to know clearly whatpositionitis beet to maintain on that question. As for ourselves we are in no wise partisans of the pro jected conference. The conference which took place in regard to Luxemburg had ►n end traced out beforehand, ' especially after France had declared that she renounced any desire for the acquisition of the princip►lity. Whether the town should be evacuated or not was the issue. Can the Roman question be defined in that way' Evidently not. Europe sal no more decide to abolish the temporal sovereignty of the Pope than to guarantee it. The majority of the powers convoked will leave the solution of the question to events, and, since France has thrown herself between Rome and Italy, upon the cabinent of the Tuileries will rest in the first instance the are of all that shall follow. It is not necessary to be endowed with the gift of prophecy to perceive that England will not bind herself to the project of a conference ; and in that case Austria must not only re fuse to take part in it, but even decline any responsibility for what may occur at Rome. Let us not assume the position either of champion or oppressor of the Holy See ; let as not meddle with things which in no way concern us. THE ITALIAN RETREAT. The defeat of Garibaldi, says the Timer, has smoothed a whole world of difficulties. The return of tranquillity in the papal provinces has done away with the necessity for the presence of the French troops in Rome. By withdrawing his divisions from Rome, and limiting his occupation to Civita Vecchia, the Emperor Napoleon will enable King Victor Emm►nuel to recrou the frontier without too great a sacrifice of his dignity. There seems every probability that an arrangement may be made on the footing of some such mutual concession. By his anxiety to refer the question first to a European, then to a catholic congress, it seems evident that the Em peror is anxious to shake off a responsibility the weight of which has already caused him sufficient distress and anxiety. Were he unable to transfer the burden either to the European or the catholic powers, it is by no means im possible that he may deem himself entitled to leave the Pope to shift for himself. Yesterday it sewed almost equally impossible for the King of Italy to hold his ground or withdraw. To-day, observes the Daily News, the case is not presented so absolutely. Public opinion in Italy is not so unreasonable and imperious as many of us had feared. The popular newspapers at Florence appear to regard Garibaldi's defeat, under the eye of the royal general, as a critical event, demonstrating the inutility of further contest, and accord ingly approve of the entire withdrawal of the national tomes from the Papal territory. This new feeling is a very important element of the situation. If the French occupa tion was limited to Civita Vecchia, the Roman question would enter upon a new phase, and be transferred to ground on which Italy might recover by reason some of the advantages which have been snatched from her by brute farce. The Post now believes in a diplomatic solution, and thinks we may yet hope to see a Pope crowning a King of Italy on the Capitol, and the eldest daughter eclipsed in devo tion by the youngest son of the church. The herald represents Italy as lying at the feet of the Emperor of the French, and ventures to hope he will spare her further humiliation. Nothing, it thinks, could be worse for Italy at this moment than a notification of the interest of foreign governments in her welfare which should convey the slightest intimation of active inter ference upon her behalf. ME. LOWE ON EDUCATION. The Times, returning to Mr. Lowe's late speech, says it is very hard that the noblest literature existing in the world, the source and foundation of our own, the only abiding vestige of a mighty past and a mysterious origi• nal, is to be held up to public shame like a worn-out, threadbare, musty garment, fit only for a scarecrow, merely because it would encumber the carpet bag of a Scotchman crossing the Tweed to make hie way in the world. By all means let him and his English congener learn that which will answer his purpose, enable him to get a good place, and do its duties well ; but we cannot see why his needs are to circumscribe the loftier aspirations hitherto fostered at universities and public schools. The Standard is very angry with Mr. Lowe for saying that the generation which is coming will be worse educated than the present one, unless we alter our existing system. He knows as well as we do that there is nothing to raise in his mind any such presumption. More than that, he ie thoroughly aware—how, after the official position be has occupied, can be be ignorant ?—that the entire body of information and statistics on the subject point with cer tainty to a diametrically opposite result. Disappointment has made him not only a political cynic, but a malicious cynic. Of such stuff are the worst citizens made. Ho cuts himself adrift from himself and from all his former associations simply in order to harass his opponents; and he does his utmost to injure the interests of his country, in order that he may not again be proved a false prophet through their remaining intact. The Telegraph remarks that if Mr. Lowe only works at well as be speaks, the public will have no great objection to help him also to believe that we should have been ruined by the Reform Bill had we not been eared at the eleventh hour by the bill for national education. MN TOPICS. The Dade News, pointing out bow much, in certain districts, the oostermonger system of stalls and trucks suits the people, asks if it be not possible to allow the commissioners of police a discretion as to the streets in which the Metropolitan Streets Act shall, at any time, be enforced, or ma to its enforcement at all? This measure would at least bridge over the coming season, which is likely to be severe enough without the legislative creation of distress and pauperism through the destruction, by act of parliament, of an established mode of trading. The creation of new channels should take place simultaneously with the closing of old ones. If we drive costertnongers and hucksters from the streets, it would be only prudent to open public markets, to which they may have access, in the districts which they supply. The Tinter argues that there ought lobe constant visitors at a workhouse, and that all the practices of the estab lishment should be as well known at least as those of an hospital. ♦ workhouse is now more like a parish in firmary, a refuge for the decrepit, the sick, or the bed ridden. The plausible arguments, therefore, which were urged in past times against milking a workhouse too cont. fortal.le for the indolent or improvident at the expense of the industrious no longer apply, and the inspection needed is something very different from that framed upon the original traditiofts of the Poor Law Board. Premising it to be generally known that the settling for the late meetings of Newmarket has been anything but satisfactory, the Post proceeds to put on a level the gen tismen who lay money on a horse when they know they eannst meet the liability if they love, with the bookmaker who being deficient and absent on settling day is called • "welcher." Racing, with the betting and financing which accompany it, is approaching the position which gambling formerly held till • salutary meuure put an end to hells. We hear of sums of gigantic inagnitude wagered as readily as they were of old on the throw of the dice. We see fine old family properties dwindling away or passing into the hands of strangers, by the defeat of • favourite or the failure of • "good thing," as before they have done by the turn of a card. The horse has taken the place of the roulette table. Nor is this all. A less scrupulous nicety than in the days of cards or dice has come in, and the morality of the turf when compared with the rules which used to be observed at the green table is more that of the sharper than of the player. Betting is be coming a trade among the amateurs as much as among professional betting men, and what is done by the man who has fifty, or sixty, or • hundred thou•tnd a year is in a smaller way imitated by those who follow him. Overtrading is the explanation of the many accounts which are left unsettled in betting-books this season. Eke Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 5. The Queen and Princess Louise went out yester day afternoon. Her Majesty drove out this morning, attended by the Marchioness of Ely. PrinceiN Louise, attended by Lady Caroline Barrington, walked and drove in the Home l'ark this morning ; and Prince Leopold went out attended by Mr. Duckworth. The Earl of Derby had the honour of dining with the Queen and the Royal Family yesterday. Sir James Clark has arrived at the Castle. The Hon. Emily Cathcart has succeeded the Hon. Harriet Phipps as Maid of Honour. Lord Begot and the Hon. Mortimer Sackville West have succeeded Lord Crofton and Colonel the Hon. A. Llcldellea Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Prince of Wales, attended by Major Grey, went hunting with his harriers, near Windsor, yesterday. The Princess of Wales took a carriage drive, attended by Viscountess Walden.

The Ministers pre sent were the Earl of Derby, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Malmes bury, the Right Hon. Uathorne Hardy, Lord Stanley, the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, Sir John Pakington, Sir S. Northoote, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, the Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, the Duke of Richmond, Lord J. Manners, and the Earl of Mayo. A deputation of the directors of the Great Eastern Rail way, consisting of Major Jervis, and Messrs. Simi,- son, Moseley, and 'teacup, had an interview with the Lord Presidentand the Vice-President of the Council at the Privy Council-office yesterday, upon the subject of the importa tion of cattle at Harwich, and the orders in council in reference to the Contagious Diseases Prevention Act. A deputation of the Spanish Passive Bondholders' Com mittee, introduced by Captain Isherwood, the chairman, had an interview with Lord Stanley at the Foreign-office yesterday. The Prince and Princess of Wales leave Marl borough House to-day for Windsor Castle, where they will remain on a visit to the Queen till the 12th inst., on which day they will go to Sandringham for the winter. The Earl and Countess of Vernlam and Ladies Crimaton, the Earl and Countess of Mount-Edgcumbe, sad Colonel the Hon. Wellington P. and Lady Emma Talbot and family are among the English families of rank already arrived at Cannes to pass the winter. The Right Hon. Edward Horatnan, M.P., and Mn. 'foreman arrived at their residence on Richmond terrace, Whitehall, yesterday from Ilyram, Str John and Lady Gwendoline Rsmsden's seat in Yorkshire. The late Countess of Gainsborough was a member of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem and Malta. There are now but three ladies bearing English titles who have received this distinction—namely, the Duchess of Hamil ton (née Princess Mary of Baden), the Marchioness of Londonderry, and Lady Petre. The Empres Eugenie, the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, the Empress Charlotte, and the ec•Queen of Naples are also members of this order. The insignia consists of a Maltese cross, either in enamel or diamonds, worn on the left shoulder, in a bow of black ribbon. The insignia is conferred by the Chief of the Order, resident at the Palazzo di Malta, at Rome. Yesterday was observed as a general holiday in Chester upon the occasion of the Marquis of Westminster formally handing over to the citizens of that place his splendid gift of a large public park, which is pleasantly situated on the banks of the Dee. The land and the laying out of the grounds coat the noble donor, it is said, about fifty thousand pounds. An order by the Queen in Council appears in last night's Gazette, conferring upon her Majesty's Consuls ap pointed to reside in the dominions of the Sultan of Muscat full power and authority to carry into effect, and to enforce the observance of the stipulations of any treaty or convention between her Majesty and the Sultan of Muscat. Lieut.-Colonel Milward, R. A., Alaiatant-Director of Ordnance at - the War Department, having been selected by General Sir Robert Napier to command the mountain gun and rocket brigade attached to the Abyssinian expe dition, is ordered to hold himself in readiness to embark on board the Indian troop ship Crocodile, to sail on the 21st inst. Colonel Milward has been granted six months' leave of absence, his duties at the War-office to be carried out in the meantime by Colonel Younghusband, R.A., now in Paris. The turret ship Royal Sovereign, tender to the gunnery ship Excellent, Captain H. Hood, C,8., steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday aftemoon, and an chored at Spithead, preparatory to making a course of practice from the turret gun mounted on the new pattern iron carriage and slide, and other experimental firing. It is said that the Owl will come out on Wednes day, the 20th inst. The Paris Exhibition of 1867 was visited by nearly all the sovereigns of Europe, and by some of the rulers of the Eastern world. Those monarchs who did not go are—Queen Victoria, Queen Isabella of Spain, King Victor Emmanuel, the Sovereign of Persia, the President of the United States, and the Emperor of China. The Conservatoire do Musique has just pur chased a flute, which belonged to and was constantly used by Frederick the Great. King Louis I. of Bavaria has arrived at Nice, where be propane to pen the winter. " lehis been remarked," says the Journal de Paris, " that Marshal &mains was only invited to the banquet at the Hotel de Ville, and that he had not ap peared at any of the fetes given to the Emperor of Austria." . . . A petition has been presented to the Emperor by several musical composers, praying his Majesty to maintain the band of Guides, the suppression of which has been spoken of as in contemplation. Among the petitioners are Rossini, Auber, Ambroise Thomas, Georges Kutner, and Filicien David. Out of the articles recorded in the 1,008 pages of Johnson and Son's Catalogue of the Paris Exhibition nearly every one has been sold, and a large proportion goes to England. Of artistic articles Mr. Morrison, Colonel Lloyd Lindsay, Mr. It. Phillips, and Earl Dudley are probably the largest purchasers. THE CZAA AT THE THEATRE,—A letter from St. Petersburg of the 30th October says ;—" A state per formance took place this evening at the Grand Theatre, and consisted of the first act of Life for the Czar and two scenes of Uultien Poison. The house was of course crowded with a most brilliant audience. At the moment in which the Emperor and the young couple entered the grand box in the centre, the orchestra executed the Greek national hymn, which was loudly applauded. The Russian hymn followed, and was received most warmly. The King and Queen of the IRellenea occupied the middle of the imperial box. To the right of Queen Olga was the Emperor, the Grand Duchess Alexandra Petrowna, the Grand Duke heir to the throne, and the Grand Dukes Wladimir and Constantine. To the left of King George were the Grand Duchess Alexandra Josephovrna, the Prince Royal of Denmark, the Princess Eugenie of Leuchtenberg, the Grand Duke Alexis, and the Grand Duke Nicholas, the father. The other members of the imperial family and the foreign princes occupied the second rank. Behind these latter were the chief dignitaries of the palace, among them being the Countess Kouclielef, grand mistress of the court to the young queen. After the first act had been performed the members of the imperial family retired to the grand saloon, where tea was served, and to which were invited the ambassadors and their wives, as well as the minister for Greece and the charge d'Affaires for Denmark. The diplomatic corps occupied the boxes on each side of the imperial party. The performance terminated at 10 o'clock, and their Majesties on leaving the theatre were accom panied by loud applause." ITALY. The correspondent of La Liberti writes from Florence, November 3 : The demonstrations are continued almost everywhere— at Naples, Milan, Genoa, Brescia. At Parma the students having flung atones at the troops, the latter, it is said, re ceived orders to fire. Several persona were wounded and two killed. There was a fresh manifestation at Turin on the evening of October 31. The band of the National Guard, in obedience to the demand of the people, played Garibaldi's hymn. During the music, and amidst bravos of the crowd, a man with sledge hammer in band rushed to the marble st►tue of King Victor Emmanuel, and struck it repeatedly. The King's arm which was resting on the sword of Gaeta and Paatrengo, fell at the first blow t 3 the ground and the sword was broken in three parts. The man was then arrested and it was found that be was a working smith who said that he was only executing the orders of his master. In Naples the shops are closed at nightfall. General Carrano, the Commander of the National Guard, on seeing the royal proclamation, resigned his command in disgust, and the 12 colonels of the 12 legions of the guard wished to follow his example, and only consented to hold their command provisionally in order to preserve order in the town. The Arenir National, referring to the attack on Garibaldi, says : The temporal power of the Pope has bad its thousands of human ,ictima. 12,000 Pontificals surprised the volun teers whom Garibaldi, yielding to the pressure of the Italian government, was, according to the Corriere Italiano, leading back to the Italian frontier without the least suspicion of an attack. The engagement was terrible. The volunteers fought with energy—with desperation, says the Moniteur—and though the onslaught was made with superior numbers, they were able to effect their retreat and to save the life of their general. One does not know whether to call such butchery a passage at arms. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The Nord publishes the full text of the joint declaration of the representatives of Russia, France, Prussia, and Italy, presented to the Ottoman government, and the circular of Prince Gortchakoff, explaining to the diplomatic agents of Russia the motives and meaning of the declara tion " the initiative of which" says the Nord "isduo to the cabinet of st. Petersburg." The abstention of England and Austria, it goes on to observe, from taking part in this proceeding of the other four powers does not diminish, or diminishes only in a slight degree, its bearing. Their opposition, should it ever pass from theory to reality, which is not at all likely, would be powerless in face of the union of the four great continental powers, and could at most only prolong the deplorable blindness of the Porte and thereby hasten the catastrophe. The Turkish government is hence forth left to deal with its Christian subjects as it best can. "By proclaiming and getting tho other powers to adopt the principle of non-intervention which has already contributed so much to the peace of Europe, Russia," says the Nord, " has once more proved how highly she values peace." (REUTER . B TELEGRAMS.) THE ROMAN QUESTION. PARIS. Nov. 6. 5 A.x. The Moniteur of this morning says : "Garibalbi was arrested on the evening of the 4th at Figline, by the Italian authorities, and on the fol_ lowing morning was taken to Fort Varignano with his two sons. The Roman States are now com pletely free of the invading bands. "The Italian government has ordered the royal troops which had occupied certain points of the Pontifical territory near the frontier to return to Italian territory." Telegraphic communication has been re-esta blished between Rome and Florence, and between Rome and Naples. ITALY. FLORENCE, Nov. 6. The Riforsta mentions s report that the De puty Bortiuti has been taken prisoner by the Pon tifical troops. BADEN AND PRUSSIA. , MUNICH Nov. 6. It is stated that the offer of Baden to join the North German Confederation has not been re jected by Prussia, but that the entrance of Southern and Rhenish Hesse is made a preliminary condi tion. BAVARIA. MUNICH, Nov. 6. The Emperor of Austria telegraphed yesterday to King Louis declining the offer of a court dinner and gala opera. The Emperor will only pay a simple visit to the King and leave here again this evening. The coolness between the two courts continues. HUNGARY. PESTII, Nov. 6. The Assembly of the Comitat of Peeth having resolved to abstain from continued opposition to the orders of the Hungarian Ministry, no further obstacle is made to its meetings. THE CROATIAN DIET. &MAN, Nov. 6. The opening of the Croatian Diet has been post poned to the 2nd January next. TURKEY. OONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 1. The Porte is about to send a reply to the last note upon the Cretan question pre sented by the representatives of France, Russia, Pram* and Italy, communicating the Grand Vizier's last report, according to which the convocation of delegates from the undis turbed districts of Crete is progressing favourably, and military operations were recommencing against the districts that still hold out. The report further states that foreign invaders will henceforth be tried by court-martial, and native rebels by the civil courts. The Belgian minister, M. Grende, attired here on Saturday, and has an audience with the Sultan to-day. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF LONDON. QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 6. _ _ • The Inman steamship City of London, from New York, arrived hero at 2.30 a.m. to-day, with the mails, 1,5001. in specie, and 17 cabin passengers. She landed mails and passengers and proceeded for Liverpool at 3 a.m. NEW YORK, Ocr. 26, Moasucc. The Virginia election has resulted in favour o the Reconstruction Convention, the negro vote being nearly unanimous in favour of it and the white vote equally opposed to it. The radicals have elected a majority of the delegates, among them Mr. Hunnicutt, Judge Underwood, and 13 negroes. The State elections were held in West Virginia on Thursday. The returns as yet are incomplete, but it is known that the democrats have gained largely. Full returns of the California judicial election confirm the success of the entire democratic ticket.

There are great discrepancies in the accounts of Garibaldi's defeat, which it will take many days to clear up. According to the laconic recital of the Min iteur (to which this evening's Moniteur makes no addition) he was attacked on Nov. 3, at Tivoli, by the Pontifical troops alone, completely routed after a desperate combat, and left 3,000 men killed, wounded, and prisoners, on the field of battle. Then 4,000 more Garibaldians, flying across the Italian frontier, were disarmed by General Ricotti, and Garibaldi and his two sons were sent to Flo rence. What were the respective forces of the Garibaldians and the Pontificals engaged in the combat 1 On this point the information before the Paris public is most conflicting. The Patric says the Pontificals numbered only 3,500, while the Garibaldians were upwards of 7,000. On the other hand, the Corriere Italian() says that 3,000 Garibaldians were attacked at Tivoli by 12,000 Pontificals. According to one account, Garibaldi had been persuaded by the Italian negotiators to withdraw, and while beginning to execute a retreat ing movement he was surprised at Tivoli by the Pope's forces. Another and more probable story is that, knowing that the Pontificals were advancing upon his position on Monte Rotondo,he advanced to Tivoli to meet them hoping after having taken Tivoli to march upon Rome itself. There was a desperate fight for a long time with ter rible carnage, and Garibaldi was routed finally by a second corps, which came up after a consider able interval of time to the support of the first. The Pat rie affirms positively that the Papal troops alone, commanded by M. A. de Charette, of the Antibes Legion, took part in the struggle, and that several companies had the " new needle gun sup plied to them by the Pope's Minister of War." But the Pays says with equal certainty that the French troops assisted the Pontificals, and that the Garibaldians were slaughtered by the Chasse pot rifle used by French hands. This journal specifies that two battalions of the French 29th Regiment marched with the Ist Corps of Pontifi cals, and two battalions of the 39th with the second. After the battle 300 waggons a ere required to transport the wounded, and Marshal Niel, when he read the telegraphic summary of the " butcher's bill," said " I do not see any mention made of the French as having fought, but I will take my oath that the Chassepot rifle did this work."

PARIS, Nov, a, The emistif.tfiwitut of this morning publishes the following article, signed by M. Paulin Limey. rae, upon the Roman question : The news we awaited yesterday has arrived. A great scandal, which was at the same time an andsein an violation of international law, has ceased ; the honour of a treaty signed by France is safe. The revolution com. mitted an act of folly ; civilisation kaa done its duty. It must undoubtedly be regretted that so much blood should hare been shed, but the struggle was inevitable ; and if this is not the time, in presence of the conquered, to say up to what point they have been guilty, one it still forced to admit that they were the aggreea m; that they had placed themselves above all law, and thus they not only effected an unjust work, but might further have caused terrible complications to arise between Frai and Italy, perhaps involving Europe. We are assured that the Pontifical army behaved admirably, and rendered by its courage the support of the French soldiers useless. The Italian army, upon ite part, has kept the engagements made by its King in the proclams. tion, in which he affirmed the rights and dignity of his crown against all revolutionary intriguers. The soldiers of Victor Emmanuel have given a denial to the LA prognostics of their enemies. The military work is finished and the diplomatic work is about to be g i n . The difficulty that has just disappeared has ho es for some days • subject of so much disquietude throughout the world that France, Italy, and the Europe an powers cannot abstain from setting themselves to work to seek a solution to a question always full of danger. We have once more seen what evil the fanaticism of the rive lutionary parties is able to bring about. Let us now hope in the wisdom of the governments and the peoples. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.)

Mr. Keane, Q.C., said this was an action tried before the Lord Chief Justice at Norwich, when the jury re turned a verdict for the defendant, upon which his Joel. ship staved execution for coats, thinking it a wetter tint required further investigation. The action was upon throe bills of exchange for about 5001. for cattle purchased the plaintiff for cash. The cattle were sold to a farms named Main, and when they were delivered he infonnel the plaintiff that he could not pay cash, and proposed that he should draw bills for the amount. Plaintiff declined, and went to the Rev. Mr. Methell for a license I. move the cattle, but he could not obtain one because the then regulations prohibited the removal of cattle for H days. He returned to Ram's, at Colthorp, when Dix, the defendant, who was a kind of farm bailiff to Rana, said be had property, and that he would endorse the bills. The plaintiff finding he could not remove his cattle nor get his money was obliged to take the bilk which were afterwards dishonoured. Plaintiff also stated that Ram induced bins to remain at his house while he went over to Wells to receive some money fur some wheat, with which he would pay for the cattle, and that when he came back he said the person was not pre. pared to pay and he could not get his money. The Lord Chief Justice said it was a ease of consider. able conflict of evidence, and one in which the grossest perjury had been committed on one side or the other. Mr. Keane said it was so. The defendant's case on the trial was, that the plaintiff's case teas a tissue of falsehood from beginning to end, that the plaintiff proposed the bills, and that he never went to the magistrate for a license of removal. Since the trial further inquiries had been made and affidavits had been filed in support of the plain tiff's case. The Rev. Mr. Methell, in hie affidavit, said that he recollected the plaintiff coming to him on one occasion for a license, but that in consequence of the nu merous applications and his not keeping a hook, he vas unable to state the precise time. Toe other affidinits contradicted the defendant's case in many material points, and supported the plaintiff's statement. Ride granted.

L pon this charge the plaintiff was tried and acquitted, and thereupon he brought this action to recover damages for false imprisonment and also for malicious prosecution. The trial took place before Mr. Justice Bytes. in Middlesex, and on that occasion the jury answered a number of questions put by his lordship, and sniong other things they found that the earl had not heel actuated by malice, but thy gace a verdict for the plain• titf : -damages 001. 31r. Coleridge, Q.C. (with him Mr. Garth. Q.C.), now moved for a rule for • new trial, and submitted that the findings of the jury amounted to this, that the plea that the earl had reasonable and probable cause for suspecting the plainti ff of the theft had in fact been proved, and if that it had not been proved as stated, then that the judge ought to have so amended the plea as to make it meet the facts as proved. There was also this further point, that the verdict being for she earl as to =briars prosecution, the judge had so addressed the jury in re. ference to this count in connection with that for false im prisonment as to cause them to find for an ear:emirs amount of damages. In particular it was mid that the jury were led to believe that they could give damages= the count for false imprisonment for what had occurred after the plaintiff was before the magistrate. Mr. Justice Willem said that a rule would be granted, but it might be wise for both parties to consider if come arrangement could not be come to before calling upon the court for judgment. The Lord Chief Justice, who had been consulted in the case, took no part in hearing the motion. COURT OF EXCHEQUER . Sittings in Banco.-(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barone Bramwell, Channel], and Pigott.) PERRYMAN T. LINTER. This wee an action by a young man against a gentleman residing in the country, near London, for false imprison ment, having been given into custody ,y him for stealing a gun. and at the trial at Westminster in June last, before the Lord Chief Baron, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 1001. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine now moved for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, and also upon affidavits setting out some additional facts. The defendant owned • valu able riff., which was usually kept in his stable. One ‘l l l the coachman missed it, and there was no doubt that it bad been stolen. The plaintiff was in the habit of coming to the stable, and the ooachman had noticed he paid a good deal of attent:on to the title, and on 0, 1 occasion he expressed • desire to become ponwased of it. A servant of a neighbouring clergyman informed the coachman that he had seen the missing article in the pato session of the plaintiff, and on communicating this to the defendant the latter preferred a charge of stealing it against the young man. The question now was whether the information conveyed to the defendant pee him reasonable and probable cause for it. The learned serjeant observed that there was a strong feeling amofig the jury against the defendant because he was a hamster,
